Chapter 39: Confused mood
After a sleepless night, Zhang Ru appeared in front of the Datong border army with two panda eyes, and absentmindedly asked the soldiers to train themselves. Then a man moved a chair and sat down in the mud, staring blankly ahead, as if he had lost his soul.
In his previous life, he didn't believe in any bullshit and love at first sight, and always felt that love at first sight was not love, but face. I didn't expect to come to this era, and I fell into the spell of a blind face at first sight.
Without the passion of the past, which made the soldiers feel inexplicable, Jiang Wei came to Wang Zhou and asked, "How is the matter investigated?" ”
Wang Zhou pursed his lips and looked at Ma Xuan in the quagmire: "After the stuffy gourd came back, he didn't say anything and went directly to training, so it is estimated that he lost it." ”
Jiang Wei looked at Zhang Ru worriedly: "But the way my lord looks now, there are still so many people watching below, it's not a good sign if you don't solve it early!" ”
Wang Zhou nodded and said, "I'll ask that kid at noon." ”
At this time, it was not easy for him to drag Ma Xuan out of the quagmire.
At noon, when I asked, I found out that Ma Xuan had lost people. Wang Zhou was angry, but he couldn't get angry with Ma Xuan, so he had to hold his breath and run out by himself.
According to Ma Xuan, the location where the woman in green disappeared was near the Baiyi Temple, which was at least a mile away from the General Military Mansion.
The city of Datong Mansion is not small, and Datong Mansion has jurisdiction over 823 fortresses, 307 piers, and 13 guards. So it's not surprising that the Baiyi Temple disappeared a mile away.
What made Wang Zhou feel strange was that the vicinity of the Baiyi Temple was sparsely populated, and although Ma Xuan had not been in Jinyiwei for a long time, it had been a few months. A simple tracking task, it stands to reason that he can't miss, after all, his skills are not bad, and the time to practice martial arts is a little late, but he has also made great progress under the training of adults.
The people left early, and Wang Zhou searched near the Baiyi Temple, but naturally found nothing.
There was no one left and right, only a broken temple in front of him, he hesitated, but still stepped on the threshold of the broken temple.
Wang Zhou shouted at the door: "Is there anyone? ”
It was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and he tentatively peeked in through the half-hidden door, the outside of the ruined temple looked broken, and the inside was also old furnishings, but fortunately it was clean, but it did not give people a feeling of discomfort.
After entering, I saw an old monk meditating on a three-foot square bluestone. The morning dew drenched his robe, and water was dripping from his gray beard.
The old monk didn't hear the movement made by Wang Zhou, and it wasn't until Wang Zhou had already walked in front of him and shook his palm in front of his eyes that he slowly opened his eyes.
"The donor disturbed the old man's morning class." The old monk said softly.
The Ming Dynasty emphasized the Tao and suppressed the Buddha, so the status of the monks was not very high. Among the previous emperors, most of them believed in the magic of some pseudo-Taoist priests, and ate the poisonous golden pills refined by those monks, but they did not like the Buddhism style of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha.
Therefore, Wang Zhou didn't have a good attitude towards the old monk, and said arrogantly: "If you, an old monk, are dedicated to the Buddha, it is not something that a layman like me can disturb." Since I can disturb you from doing your morning class, it proves that your mind is not quiet and you are disturbed by external objects. ”
The old monk didn't move his legs, just went from cross-legged to standing up suddenly, in one go, startling Wang Zhou, and took a few steps back before steady.
"It's the old man's face, thank you for the donor's reminder, the old man is ashamed, practice for a lifetime, and still don't understand this reason, fortunately the donor mentioned something, such as Daigo empowerment." The old monk is kind and kind-eyed, but he is a little nagging.
Wang Zhouxin said, this white-clothed temple is such an old monk, the woman disappeared near the white-clothed temple, why don't you ask him?
Thinking of this, he asked directly: "Dare to ask the old monk who saw a beautiful woman in green yesterday?" ”
The old monk said: "Although the old man has never seen through some Zen machines, he is a disciple of the six pure Buddhist sects. The donor had to entertain the old man, and spread the word that the deceased only said that the old man was not broken. ”
Wang Zhou couldn't cry or laugh: "Great monk, it's not right for you to say that, this is a precept of anger." I just asked if you had seen it, but I didn't say anything else about you, could it be that the great monk yourself is not pure, what unseemly things have you done? ”
The old monk waved his hand again and again: "You can't talk nonsense, you can't talk nonsense." The woman in green mentioned by the donor, the old man has never seen it, so the donor should look elsewhere! ”
Inadvertently saw that the old monk's fleshy hands had already clenched into fists, Wang Zhou couldn't help but put away his banter, this old monk is not simple.
At the joints of his fists, five calluses were black, and he didn't look like a compassionate monk. Moreover, the old monk's temples are high and protruding, and his eyes are shining, and he knows at a glance that he is not a good stubble.
Thinking that his martial arts are not good, if he is hard, he will definitely suffer, Wang Zhou sneered and said: "Don't be angry, big monk, if you don't see it, you don't see it!" If it weren't for the fact that my family seemed to have lost his soul, I wouldn't have bothered to come out to find that girl. ”
The old monk's fist was released, and Shou Mei raised: "Oh, could it be that girl is a good doctor?" ”
Wang Zhou said as he walked to the door: "Don't ask too much, the great monk, I don't know if that girl is a good doctor, I only know that the girl is in the white-clothed temple at the moment." ”
While he was speaking, Wang Zhou had already slyly walked out of the gate of the Baiyi Temple and rushed towards the distance.
The old monk was furious, and hit the stone slab under him with a punch in the air, and the slate suddenly cracked.
At this time, a woman in green walked out of the meditation room, if Zhang Ru was there, he would definitely be able to recognize that this woman was the woman who made him lose his soul yesterday.
"Grandpa Wuxiang, let's hurry up! It's not good to stay here for a long time, if you let your father know, you'll have to scold me again. The woman in green spit out her lilac tongue very cutely, and said coquettishly to the old monk.
The old monk snorted coldly: "He dares!" Xiao Qiqi, who dared to scold the old man, promised to beat him with a butt and blossom. ”
"But since that man has discovered my whereabouts, the adults he said must have a lot of power in the city, and it will not be good to bring unnecessary trouble to the Baiyi Temple at that time." The woman in green took the old monk's arm and said.
The old monk said lightly: "Now that the trouble has been provoked, only the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." This Datong Mansion City is not small, but it is not big, if the adult that person said is really a big official, we will not be able to run out. No matter how big an official is, if there is an old man, he will not dare to do anything to you. ”
The woman in green blushed: "But... But..."
The old monk said nervously, "But what did he do?" ”
The woman in green immediately thought of being held in her arms by Zhang Ru yesterday, and she could smell the strong male scent on that person's body between her breaths, and before she knew it, her face was red to the root of her ears.
When the old monk saw this, he immediately knew what was going on, and he was angry: "Good boy, the old man wants to see what kind of character he dares to think about our family." ”
The woman in green, who knew the old monk's temper, hurriedly said: "Grandpa Wuxiang, you are also a lot older, where did you get so angry!" The man didn't do anything to me, just to save me. ”
The old monk of Wuxiang laughed and said: "Yo, Qiqi Xiaonizi has moved her spring heart!" Then grandpa wants to see what that kid looks like, not all white-faced scholars can be worthy of our family. ”
The green-clothed woman named Qiqi made a gesture and slapped the old monk: "The old man is not serious, I won't tell you." ”
With that, she ran into the meditation room and slammed the wooden door shut.
After Wang Zhou returned to the barracks, he immediately told Zhang Ru the news.
Zhang Ru's buttocks bounced up like a spring: "Where are people now?" ”
Wang Zhou held back a smile and said, "People should still be in the Baiyi Temple now." This Datong Mansion City is under the control of our people, and even the prefect Yan Fu has been a lot more honest recently, and the brothers of Jinyiwei have already defended everything. ”
"Xie Lun, get out of here for Lao Tzu and bring someone into the city with me!" Zhang Ru let out a loud shout into the quagmire.
This kind of thing, naturally you can't take the lame Jiang Wei to go, since Xie Lun was left behind, he has followed Zhang Ru, for the time being, he is just a small flag of Datong Qianhu, but he is one of Zhang Ru's personal guards.
On the big tree a hundred zhang away, an old man turned over and got off the tree, and yelled at a shirtless man in another quagmire: "Fan Tong, keep up with Lao Tzu, if something happens to your lord, Lao Tzu will strip you of your skin." ”
After a period of getting along, the relationship between Fan Wuji and Fan Tong and Zhang Ru is getting closer and closer, but now Zhang Ru has not fully believed in the two, so for the time being, Fan Tong is just one of Zhang Ru's subordinates. is not to blame for Fan, Zhang Ru treats him even more politely, and when he sees him, he will call Fan Lao.
Fan Wuyi's master and apprentice are also very hard-working, no matter what happens, as long as the two of them come out, they will be solved. It's just that the way to solve it is extremely violent, and there is basically no way to live.
A group of nearly 300 horsemen galloped towards the city, and the guards at the gate also said that something big had happened, and the city gate was directly closed after Zhang Ru entered the city.
It didn't take long for people to arrive on the cold street outside the Baiyi Temple.
The three hundred Titi rode in a row, Zhang Ru took Fan Tong and Xie Lun to the door, and Fan Tong raised his hand and slapped the door open.
The rude action slammed the gate away, and Zhang Ru couldn't help but reprimand: "You kid can't save some effort, go back to Lao Tzu and clean you up." ”
In the courtyard, an old monk sat on a futon with a broom in his hand, and a pair of tiger eyes were spraying anger at Zhang Ru.
Zhang Ru retreated from the few people who wanted to come forward with him, and stepped forward alone and arched his hand to the old monk: "Under Zhang Ru, I have seen the master." ”
The old monk said angrily: "This is the way of the donor's hospitality? It's a little too overbearing! ”
Zhang Ru didn't notice that when he spoke, his eyes stayed on Fan Tong intentionally or unintentionally. There was a little surprise in his eyes, and more confusion.
"The subordinates were reckless and disturbed the master, please forgive the master." Zhang Ru hurriedly made amends, and said that he also whitened the eyes of the reckless Fan Tongyi.
The old monk snorted angrily: "I don't know what the donor is doing here?" ”
