Chapter Twenty-Eight: Breaking the Barrier

When Father-in-law Li came back, he was wearing his upper body and holding his clothes in his arms, and his clothes were completely soaked...... There is a barren well outside the thatched house, and there is water in the well, and the ropes are all there, but the iron bucket used to draw water was taken away when the owner of the house moved.

Li Yifeng untied Feng Long's bandage, wiped the wound with water, changed it to new medicine, and bandaged it again, and then Li Gonggong twisted his wet clothes and fed his master some water. Yesterday at this time, the golden cup of qiong liquid and the high-grade fragrant tea, until now, they have to drink water like this, and they are so depressed that Gonggong Li couldn't help crying again.

Feng Long breathed a sigh of relief and turned his eyes to look at Li Yifeng: "Do you have a chance to go back to the palace?" ”

Hong Leong knew he was done. 'Himself' went crazy and killed people in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and people in half of the city, and then committed suicide, everyone thought that Feng Long was dead, and he had no identity.

Even if the truth is announced to the world, it is useless, this catastrophe is caused by his own playfulness, the emperor did not participate in the parade, and got a stand-in to fool the people in the city, which gave the opportunity to destroy people, and also affected the queen mother and the queen, such an emperor... Nanli is the first faint king. How can he be qualified to sit back on the dragon chair As soon as he thought of this, especially after his biological mother, the Queen Mother, Feng Long's heart ached.

Returning to the palace is not to be the emperor again, Feng Long is just thinking, if he can't go back, the murderer will really be satisfied, if he can go back, whether it is life or death, at least he can find some trouble for the other party, and he can fight with the other party again...... It's a pity that Li Yifeng replied unusually directly: "I can't go back." I can only stay here, and I can't go anywhere else. The expected answer, you don't have to think about it, you know, since you escaped, then all the important places in the capital that you may go to will be monitored, and there are still many secret agents in the city roaming around, as long as you appear, you will definitely die.

Then Li Yifeng whispered again: "Your Majesty forgives the crime of disrespect." After saying that, his body went limp, and he also lay down on the ground. He was seriously injured in the middle of the night last night, and now he can't hold on anymore.

Feng Leong sighed: "You are not guilty... Where is this? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden roar of the bell from outside, followed by cheers and chanting, and Gonggong Li was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand; Li Yifeng was the opposite of him, his body moved and wanted to jump up, but under the severe injury and exhaustion, the former grandmaster couldn't let himself get up.

Fortunately, although the cheers and chanting sounded from not far away, they did not approach in the direction where they were, and after a commotion, the sound of mantras did not stop, and gradually moved away in the direction of the palace.

Li Yifeng listened intently, and it wasn't until it was quiet outside again that he struggled to open his mouth and answer the emperor's question just now: "We are next to the Don't Come Zen Temple." ”

The thatched hut is adjacent to the temple, and it is no wonder that the bell is ringing, Feng Long thought: "Don't come to the Zen temple? The cheers just now were ......"

"It should be too broken by the fishless master." Li Yifeng replied lightly.

…… On August 16, there was a sense of desolation in Phoenix. The city has been under martial law, around the palace and several streets in the capital, ordinary people are not allowed to approach, a large number of forbidden troops scattered into the city, or closed the road to set up guards, or patrol the four directions.

Martial law is divided into day and night, and a curfew is imposed at night, and no one is allowed to go out unless the government gives permission to do so. During the day, only important places are closed, and ordinary places are not forbidden, but pedestrians can be questioned at any time.

Song Yang didn't go to Hongbo Mansion to get the murder weapon, and now in the city, he is afraid that he will encounter interrogation if he can't walk ten steps with the big wooden box on his back, and if the officers and soldiers want to open the box for inspection, Song Yang can't open the box.

The three of them dressed lightly, disguised themselves as pilgrims, and went straight to the place where the fish did not exist. Their blades were also left in the inn, so as not to make trouble, and this trip was to go around the place and find out the situation first.

Halfway to the road, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly galloped on, the captains shouted loudly, drove all the pedestrians to both sides, cleared the road in a blink of an eye, and then the sound of Zen chanting came, under the escort of the forbidden army, a group of monks surrounded by a small lotus flower, slowly walked through the long street, not far behind them, followed by a large number of Buddhist believers, everyone looked pious, and the eyes were full of joy.

Pedestrians on the street were talking, and some people simply stopped the believers, only to know that the fishless master who had been in retreat for a long time had broken through the barrier, and it was her Dharma driver who had just passed and was rushing to the palace.

In the blink of an eye, the news spread, and most of the pedestrians on the street joined the procession of believers, chanting Buddhist verses and accompanying them all the way. For ordinary people, the only explanation for last night's tragedy is that evil spirits are responsible. The royal family suddenly suffered a catastrophe, and the people in the city were in a hurry.

Song Yang frowned, and glanced at Luo Guan, the latter shook his head slowly, there is no way to do it now, Mo said that everyone is watching, the guards of the forbidden army, and the thousands of believers behind him, just the situation in the city, as soon as they make a move, the soldiers and horses will gather everywhere in a blink of an eye, and there is no way to escape.

However, Luo Guan misunderstood, Song Yang was not stupid enough to want to do it now, he just felt that there was an accident with the royal family last night, and there was no fish out of the customs today...... Things seem to be interesting.

The main owner went to the palace, Song Yang and his party did not change their original intentions, and after the fishless team passed, they still said goodbye to the Zen Temple. When they arrived at the place, the fire path people did not enter the temple, but put their hands behind their backs and wandered around, looking for a suitable place to set the fire.

Don't come to the Zen courtyard divided into two parts, walk through the front yard is the main hall, the Buddha sits in the middle; Passing through the main hall is another courtyard, the meditation room is arranged on both sides, for pilgrims to rest, laymen to stop, so far it is the front part, you can browse at will.

The apse and backyard are the places where nuns practice and live in the Zen monastery, and the retreat without fish should also be among them.

Perhaps because there was no fish to go out, most of the nuns in the Monastery rushed to the palace with her, and there were not many monks staying here, but each one of them was happy.

After turning around in front for a while, he didn't notice anything abnormal, Song Yang stretched out his finger and pointed to the back, turned his head sideways and said to Luo Guan: "Find a chance to go in" Before he finished speaking, Luo Guan suddenly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Silence, listen." ”

Song Yang immediately listened attentively, and after listening carefully for a while, a trace of consternation flashed in his expression, and he heard a familiar tune, Dream Chaser.

The voice is sweet, and it is evident that the person humming is a woman; There are no lyrics, just a tune, and the sound is very soft and a little ethereal, but it is from the front yard...... When he fled to the sea, Su Hang taught this song to Shi Xiaoxiao, who often played the flute, and as long as he was on the boat, he was familiar with the melody of the dreamer.

Luo Guan also listened attentively for a while, stretched out his hand and gently touched a meditation room in the courtyard, indicating the source of the voice.

Song Yang pretended to browse, leaned over with light steps, the wooden door of the meditation room was hidden, and when he glanced through the crack in the door, the room was slightly messy, it should be that a layman had just lived, and a teenage nun was humming a song while cleaning up the house. Song Yang knocked lightly on the door, and the little nun was shocked to realize that there was someone outside, so she immediately stopped her tune, put down the work in her hand and came out, and folded her hands: "The donor called me?" ”

Song Yang asked, "I overheard the tune in the mouth of the little master just now......

The little nun's face turned red: "Disturbing the donor's tranquility, the poor nun is rude, please forgive the donor... Also, the poor Nifa number is clear, and the donor can call me the Dharma name, but the teacher is too afraid to be it. ”

Song Yang nodded: "Just now you hummed a good tune, it just so happened that I had an old friend who was obsessed with music all his life, and told me that when I encountered a good tune, I must not let it go." As he spoke, he smiled at the little nun, but after he smiled, Xiao Qingyin suddenly changed his expression, looked Song Yang up and down, and then said: "The Buddha Gate is pure, please respect yourself." ”

Song Yang didn't react for a while, but Luo Guan, who was not far away, understood it, and walked forward with a smile and shook his head: "The little master is too misunderstood, this friend of mine is telling the truth, and the 'old friend' in his mouth is also an old acquaintance with me, and this is indeed the case." ”

After speaking, Luo Guan turned his eyes to Song Yang again, and said with a smile: "No wonder people will misunderstand, your brother's appearance is really flattering." ”

Song Yang suddenly realized...... He changed his appearance before leaving the fiefdom, Ren Xiaozhu's craftsmanship, it is estimated that Her Royal Highness the princess was afraid that he would get into trouble with flowers and grass, so she specially made him look like a thief with eyebrows and mouse eyes, especially when he smiled, he was more silvery, and he went to talk to the little nun as if he had nothing to say, and it was not normal to be misunderstood.

It's Luo Guan's disguise, his appearance is dignified and upright, his appearance has changed but his bearing has not changed, Xiao Yu and the great master are not very familiar with each other, so they are not embarrassed to be ruthless.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Guan spoke, the little nun's suspicion swept away most of it, but she still didn't want to talk to Song Yang, but said to the great grandmaster: "This tune is often hummed by my uncle, and I will learn it after listening to it a lot, and I don't know the specific origin of it." If the two donors want to understand, I will ask my uncle to meet. ”

Song Yang didn't dare to squeak, lest he be regarded as a hooligan by the little nun, Luo Guan smiled and nodded: "It's too much to have a little teacher, I am grateful." ”

Xiao Qingyin turned her head and ran away, and not long after, she led a middle-aged nun with a white face to her.

The middle-aged nun first saluted Song Yang and Luo Guan, and reported the law number '[***]', Luo Guan was not too troublesome, and said what he had just said again, [***] replied: "Poor nuns are the same as Qingyin, they didn't learn it intentionally, they remembered it after listening to it a lot, but they couldn't remember it when they heard it specifically, and they were ashamed." ”

Countless people can casually hum a tune that they don't know where they come from, and [***]'s answer sounds flawless at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you can see that something is wrong. It's been less than a year since 'Dream Chaser' arrived in Nanli, this is a 'new song', and it's not old, how can you not remember the source.

Song Yang chased after with a smile: "So, Shitai heard it when I was a child, and after a long time, I remember the tune but I can't remember where it came from." ”

[***] smiled and nodded...... Song Yang smiled, he didn't think that [***] was also crossed.

To do things satisfactorily, Song Yang didn't investigate the source of the song again, but just said that he would come back in a few days, and then he would bring the old friend who was addicted to music to record the score, and it would be convenient for the monks and people, [***] smiled and agreed. Song Yang made up his mind again, changed the topic, casually made up his deceased relatives, and proposed that he wanted to ask not to come to the Zen Monastery to be a mage, preferably if Master Wuyu could preside over it in person, if he could invite her, he would like to rejoice in merit with a thousand taels of silver.

[***] responded: "Uncle Wuyu broke through the customs for an important Buddhist matter, I am afraid that there is no time to withdraw from other Dharma matters, if the donor is not suspicious, you can preside over the Dharma for your relatives and uncles." ”

Song Yang left a living word, only saying that he would ask the elders in the family again, followed by some sesame oil money, and left with Luo Guan.

After the two of them left the Zen Monastery, Song Yang first asked, "Who do you think it will be?" ”

Luo Guan understood what he meant, and responded: "At the beginning, our boatload of people were used to hearing this tune, and they could all hum it, but there was only one person who returned to Phoenix City, had the opportunity to come into contact with these nuns, and could sing the rhythm at any time. ”

Song Yang coughed: "It's good to just say Shi Xiaoxiao, and go around this big circle." ”

"You are similar, you have already determined Shi Xiaoxiao in your heart, and you came to ask me who I am." Luo Guan smiled and cross-examined, and then went back and forth to the topic: "In this way, Shi Xiaoxiao has been here before, and he has stayed for a long time. ”

Song Yang was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw the Fire Dao people hurrying over...... Lao Dao was turned into a little doll by Xiao Dao, tiger-headed, and looked pretty good, but since he was on the road until now, how Song Yang thinks of him is awkward, it's not that there are any flaws, but that he feels resistant from the bottom of his heart.

A dozens of years old dwarf pretending to be a tender doll, anyone who knows his true face, will be the first to look at his current appearance.

Lao Dao's eyes were full of surprise, and he ran to them, gasping and said, "I just saw someone." ”

Song Yang's mind was still spinning on the beautiful monk, and when he heard the words, he said casually: "Shi Xiaoxiao? ”

Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand how he could mention this person in a dignified manner, and shook his head vigorously: "It's not ......" said, he stood on tiptoe, and seemed to want to whisper in his ear, but with his height, he still had to step on a stool again after stepping on his toes, and Lao Dao was a little anxious: "You come with your ears, come with your ears!" ”

Usually he always looks like he is in trouble, but Song Yang really didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Say, it's okay." ”

The Fire Dao Man looked left and right, and opened his mouth wide... Didn't make a sound. It's just a lip sync for two words.

When he made the comparison for the third time, Song Yang and Luo Guan's eyes became horrified, and the two immediately squatted down: "What's the matter?" ”

When others looked at it, it looked like two adults were teasing the little baby... Lao Dao kept his voice so low that he could barely hear himself.

He went to step on the surrounding point, ready to burn don't come to the Zen Temple, to the place about a look, he immediately relaxed, the Zen Temple is located in the south of the city, mixed in the alleys, the original people who lived here are poor, recently the Zen Temple is ready to expand, the money to buy the surrounding land, the residents have moved away, most of the empty houses, it is simply prepared for arson.

The fire road people walked around the streets and alleys, while observing the location of the Zen courtyard, while determining the fire point, a 'little doll' will not arouse suspicion, turned around, walked into a deserted courtyard, and then found three people in the house through the crack in the door...... They were all lying motionless on the ground. If it weren't for the bloodstains, Lao Dao would have treated them as homeless vagabonds, and when he took a closer look, he was immediately startled and rushed to find Song Yang.

"Dead or alive?" Song Yang asked.

Lao Dao shook his head: "I didn't dare to go over to see." ”

Song Yang didn't talk nonsense: "Lead the way, walk around." ”

Lao Dao hesitated a little, and asked tentatively: "This matter... Shall we take care of it? "Setting fire to a nunnery and kidnapping a teacher along the way is nothing, but what we need to do now will undoubtedly drag them all into this rebellion.

Song Yang smiled: "If you can't see it, you can't help it, you really have to take care of it if you see it." ”

Song Yang and Feng Long couldn't talk about friendship, and even poisoned the emperor before, but now the situation has changed. Someone plotted to usurp the throne and had nothing to do with him, the Marquis of Changchun, but the other party took advantage of the fact that the king of Zhenxi was not in the capital, and it was clear that he was standing on the opposite side of the prince. Although there is no movement yet, Hongbo Mansion has fallen into it, and the two sisters Chu Rong and Xiao Fu can't ignore the affairs of the old man's family.

Other than that... Wuyu targeted Song Yang and rebelled to pit Feng Long, and now Wu Yu ran to the palace again, if the rebel is really in collusion with Wu Yu, then Feng Long will become Song Yang's ally, although this ally is a bit miserable.

It's just a short distance, but the people to meet are not trivial, the 'little doll' according to the instructions, turned left and right in the alley, Song Yang and Luo Guan did not go together, but scattered, borrowing the surrounding buildings to hide their figures, carefully following the old road at the same time, carefully probing the surroundings, after a long time of tossing and turning, after making sure that their whereabouts were safe and secure, finally came to the deserted courtyard.

Luo Guan was guarding outside, and Song Yang pushed the door in.

As soon as the door shaft rang, Gonggong Li was the first to wake up, hurriedly grabbed the knife in his hand, and asked sharply, "Who is it?" ”

Feng Long also wanted to speak, but he pulled the wound in anger, opened his mouth and only let out a series of hoarse coughs, Li Yifeng was also in a coma from serious injuries just now, and now he remembered that he didn't have half the strength in his hands and feet, so he could only reluctantly shout to Li Gonggong: "Kill ......" No matter who comes, you must kill in the hall.

Song Yang changed his face, Li Gonggong couldn't recognize him, gritted his teeth and rushed up with a knife, but was knocked to the ground by Song Yang's punch, the knife was thrown far away, and the fat body was falling next to Feng Long, and then Li Gonggong blocked the emperor sideways, his lips trembled and wanted to say something to Song Yang, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Li Yifeng's eyes were blurred, but he could still see Song Yang's skills, of course, he regarded Song Yang as an assassin, and immediately sighed, and said to Feng Long: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and the crime should be punished, so go first." As he spoke, he turned his hand and touched the knife to wipe it down his throat.

Loyal to the iron guard, he does not want to die after the emperor, and he does not want to watch the emperor be taken down by the traitor.

Fortunately, his movements were weak and slow under his serious injury, which was enough for Song Yang to strain, and he flashed forward to snatch his weapon, and said at the same time: "Don't panic, I'm here to save people." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Feng Long felt a little familiar, and Gonggong Li's reaction was faster, and he lost his voice: "Chang Chunhou? ”
