Chapter Eighty-Five: The Valley Is Attacked
Zen Master Chang Hui looked at the signature for a long time in a daze, and then asked with a frown on his white brows: "Master Xu, I don't know what this signature wants to ask?" ”
Xu Liang looked at this signing in a daze, and was amazed, secretly saying that he was really so lucky, and even drew two lots? Or is there really a god in control? Cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant?
Dai Yingying on the side saw that Xu Liang didn't answer for a long time, so he said: "Old Zen master, look at what you asked, our family is an official person, and he has worked tirelessly to come to your Zhenru Temple. ”
Zen Master Chang Hui coughed a few times, and then asked Xu Liangdao: "Master Xu, what is your opinion?" ”
Xu Liang nodded and said slowly: "Since I have drawn it, I will ask the master to tell me about the future of this official." ”
Zen Master Chang Hui frowned and said: "According to the poor monks, it is better for Xu Shizhu to ask about marriage this time. Why don't you give a poor monk some pointers for Xu Shizhu's fateful wife? ”
Xu Liang hesitated, but Dai Yingying couldn't wait, she said angrily: "Alas, old Zen master, I won't ask you to answer the marriage of our adults, Lord Xu wants to know how long he can be an official and how old he can be, so don't talk about those useless things, let's talk about it." ”
Xu Liang also followed: "Please also ask the master to give advice." ”
Zen Master Chang Hui was silent for a long time, nodded slowly, and said: "That is the case, the poor monk estimated and solved the sign for the donor, the donor, there is no definite number of signs, there are a hundred solutions for a hundred people, the poor monk said casually, and the donor listened to it." ”
"Master, please speak." When Xu Liang saw Zen Master Chang Hui's instructions like this, he originally had no bottom in his heart, but now he is even more in decline, staring at the old monk nervously.
Dai Yingying also quieted down and listened intently to Zen Master Chang Hui's explanation.
Zen Master Chang Hui pondered for a long time, his lips twitched, and finally sighed lightly, looked at Xu Liang and said word by word: "The poor monk has been a monk since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the court, but there are a few sayings, which are more in line with the artistic conception of this sign. The king and the doctor rule the world together, but the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, in the past Yue Wumu, the gold medal twelve ways, the soul of the storm pavilion. Donor, think twice before acting, take advantage of the trend, and be wise enough to protect yourself. ”
Xu Liang heard a bang in his head, and he was stunned. I don't know how to say goodbye to Zen Master Chang Hui later. When he heard the sound of spring water in his ears, Xu Liang was full of excitement, and his consciousness seemed to be clear. Looking around, I don't know when I was already in a valley full of flowers and plants, and a clear spring ran through the valley along the stream. The valley is densely wooded, full of flowers, insects and birds, pine waves, and a good place.
The ten guards consciously scattered not far away, and Dai Yingying beside him looked at Xu Liang with a worried face, and when he saw Fang Liang looking over, he asked out loud: "Lord Xu, are you okay?" ”
"Me? It's okay. Xu Liang said, his hoarse voice startled him.
"It's okay." Dai Yingying patted her chest, as if she had experienced a great fright.
"Eh, how did we get here?" Xu Liang asked suspiciously.
"You don't know?" Dai Yingying exclaimed: "Half an hour ago, when you listened to Zen Master Chang Hui's explanation, it was like you suddenly fell into a demon, rolling your eyes and unable to speak, which frightened us. The Zen master said that you may have entered a demonic barrier, and instructed us to take you to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, so that you can be sober and sober. ”
"Is that so?" Xu Liang said in amazement, why doesn't the secret path have any impression at all? After thinking about it for a while, I secretly scolded this thousand-year-old temple for some inexplicable places, and it would be better for me to come less in the future.
"My lord," Dai Yingying looked at Xu Liang and said cautiously: "Actually, this lottery is unraveling, that is, to comfort the heart, most of them are not allowed." The old monk Chang Hui is a lot older, maybe his own brain is a little confused, and the unsigning is also upside down and messy, and what he says can't be counted at all. ”
Xu Liang glared and said: "Zen Master Chang Hui is really a high-ranking monk, and most of what he said still has some truth. ”
"Ah, then my lord, do you believe what the old monk Chang Hui said?"
Xu Liang sneered, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't believe in most of these things. Whatever it is, now that we're here, let's go ahead and see, eh, what's this place called? ”
Dai Yingying said: "I heard Zen Master Chang Hui say, this is a beautiful holy place in the cloud mountain, what is it called...... what valley is it?" ”
The tall guard looked up and responded, "Valley of Hundred Flowers." ”
Xu Liang listened, was noncommittal, and walked along the path that was stepped out towards the valley. The grass in the valley is green, the breeze is blowing, Xu Liang strolls in it, and he also feels a lot more open-minded. After walking for a while, he saw that all the guards behind him were intentionally or unintentionally lagging behind Xu Dai and the others, and followed from a distance. And the female captain Dai Yingying saw the flowers and plants all over the ground, and her childlike heart was full of joy, holding the hem of her skirt with one hand, looking for the delicate flowers and picking them.
Xu Liang shook his head secretly, following the cheerful figure of Dai Yingying bouncing among the flowers and grass, and walked deeper and deeper into the valley.
Zen Master Chang Hui's explanation flashed unconsciously in his mind.
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die!
What kind of bullshit logic is this? I, Xu Liang, just got a small position in the super big company of Daming, and I ate with my mouth, but I didn't sign a deed of sale with the court, and I sold it to the emperor's family. I think I, Xu Liang, have already died once, it's rare for God to have mercy, and then give me a chance to start over, how can I mix up my life and then pinch it in the hands of others?
Xu Liang thought about it, and then thought of the site selection of the ancestral hall this time, and his heart was 10,000 reluctant to provoke this kind of shocking thing, according to Xu Liang's understanding, but where the ancestral hall is built, it is necessary to set up a monument to build a will, who built it, who donated money, who contributed, who chose the address, who invited the construction team, the inscription will be engraved clearly, in case of a dead ladyboy in the future, the fall of the great eunuch of Wei, the court will be liquidated, and there is no place to run if you want to run, and the inscription is written.
This is really reaching out and sending the handle to the court.
However, this is a tricky matter. The governor of Jiangxi personally ordered, the Nankang prefect supervised the office, and the Jianchang County Linghe County Cheng personally arranged it, Xu Liang was just a small Zhengjiupin master book, and he was not qualified to bargain! If it's done, everyone will naturally be happy, if it's messed up, I'm sorry, I'll be dismissed and investigated, and I'll go back to the vegetable market!
Although it is not the king's order, it is not far off!
You have to think of a safe way to get out as soon as possible! Xu Liang secretly made up his mind.
Xu Liang made up his mind, and his mood was much more relaxed, but when he looked up again, he was shocked, only to see Dai Yingying, who was still happily picking flowers and grass just now, squatting at his feet.
"Squat down, squat down, sir!" Dai Yingying beckoned.
"What's wrong?" Xu Liang immediately squatted down and asked nervously.
"There is a situation!"
"What's the situation?" Xu Liang asked in a low voice.
"Listen!" Dai Yingying said.
Xu Liang listened attentively, except for the gusts of wind, the valley was very quiet, and there was no special sound.
"There's no sound," Xu Liang said, and he became even more nervous when he saw Dai Yingying nervously paying attention to her surroundings.
"Don't you think this will be too quiet in the valley, my lord?" Dai Yingying said.
Xu Liang listened to it, listened carefully, and finally found that something was wrong. When I first entered the valley, the sound of insects and birds chirping came and went, and the sound of the wind and water decorated the valley with great excitement, but this time, it was a dead silence.
"What should I do?" Xu Liang had little experience in the situation, so he had to ask Dai Yingying for advice.
"Lord Xu, for the sake of safety, we have to go back, your guards are all behind, and it will be much safer to meet the guards."
"Good!" Xu Liang nodded.
At that moment, the two discussed properly, and the cat walked back along the road from which he came.
Suddenly, there was a thud, accompanied by a panicked call of a wild duck, and a wild duck, perhaps hatching eggs in the grass, flew up from a bush not far away.
"Run!" Dai Yingying scolded coquettishly, grabbed Xu Liang's sleeve, and ran away. As soon as the two of them left, several arrows flew in with a whistling sound and plunged diagonally into the earth, the tips of which still trembled slightly.
I'm cāo! Xu Liang scolded, and when he looked back while running, he saw nearly ten black-clothed masked men with longbows chasing after him, shooting arrows while chasing.
The tip of an arrow flew dangerously past Xu Liang's ear, scaring Xu Liang into a cold sweat, and he stumbled with his steps, but fortunately, Dai Yingying pulled him tightly so that he would not fall.
Dai Yingying is worthy of being the daughter of Dai Feng Dart Head of the Ximen Dart Bureau, and her experience in treatment is many times richer than Xu Liang. She pulled Xu Liang to change direction from time to time, dodging the stray arrows behind her.
The black-clothed man behind him barely made a sound, and he chased after him without saying a word, and the arrows one after another represented their determination to kill.
"It's not an option." Xu Liang ran after Dai Yingying, panting like a cow, and shouted in a hissing voice.
"I know, but I don't have a knife in my hand, so I have to go and meet the others before dealing with the people behind." Dai Yingying responded.
As he was talking, a shout came from the front: "Your Excellency is there, protect your Excellency!" ”
Xu Liang looked up and saw that four guards were rushing towards Xu Liang, one of whom still had an arrow hanging on his left arm. Before Xu Liang had time to be happy, he saw that not far behind the four of them, more black-clothed people emerged, forming a semi-circular arc from a distance, holding a bow flat, looking at it coldly, and slowly approaching.
Xu Liang turned around again and saw that the man in black behind him had stopped running and slowly approached.
"Why are there just the four of you?" Dai Yingying shouted.
"Boss, everyone else is lying down, and we're the only ones left!" One of the guards replied with a shudder.
"A pile of scrap wood!" The female captain scolded.
