Chapter 8: The Edge of the Temple

Previous Chapter

When the little beggar saw that the girl in Tsing Yi had burned the cake to the fire, he was frightened for a moment and hurriedly grabbed it.

The girl in Tsing Yi blinked with wide eyes and said, "I'll try it with fire, there are many treasures hidden in other things, and they will be burned out with fire." ”

The little beggar laughed and said, "You must have been deceived by some people who made up stories, how can there be such a thing in this world!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi blinked her eyes, pursed her lips, and muttered, "Won't it?" Even if you make up a story, you have to pay for it, so you won't fool me! So saying, he handed the baked bread back to the little beggar.

The little beggar took the baked cake back from the hand of the girl in Tsing Yi, carefully put it in his arms, and said: "Actually, I can't figure out whether this baked cake is useless or not, but somehow in my heart, I believe in the silver-haired old man very much." ”

Suddenly, the girl in Tsing Yi didn't know what to think, "Oops! With an exclamation, his face was disfigured, his eyes flashed, he stared at the little beggar, reached out and patted his face, and then pinched his hand, and then pinched his foot.

The little beggar was stunned and said, "What's the matter? ”

The girl in Tsing Yi said hurriedly: "Didn't you eat that poison pill 'Frost Wind Pill'?" It's past the time for the poison! He stretched out his hand to probe the little beggar's forehead and said, "Do you feel any of them now?" Is there any discomfort there? ”

The little beggar smiled bitterly: "My whole body is already very uncomfortable, half of my body is cold, half of it is hot, even if there is anything abnormal, I am afraid that I can't feel it......" After a pause, I saw that the face of the girl in Tsing Yi was full of anxiety, and the little beggar saw that the girl in Tsing Yi cared about him so much, and his heart was also quite moved, and he continued warmly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, the time for the poison has passed, if something really happened, I would have died a long time ago." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi took a long breath, patted her chest, and said, "It's okay, I'll be relieved if it's okay." ”

The little beggar looked at the look of the girl in Tsing Yi, only to feel that his heart was extremely warm, he who had tasted the pain and coldness of the world, suddenly felt the sincere care of the girl in Tsing Yi, and couldn't help but feel that it came from it, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he whispered softly: "Thank you!" You...... You're so good to me......"

The girl in Tsing Yi's cheeks flushed crimson again, her eyes rolled, and she said angrily: "Okay, you big-headed ghost...... What a big fool! ”

Someone chatted with him, and there was sincere care, the little beggar felt that the pain all over his body was no longer so painful, slowly supported the ground with his hands, and slowly crawled and sat up, although the whole body was painful and numb like a pinprick, but the little beggar gritted his teeth and no longer let out a trace of moaning, not wanting the girl in Tsing Yi to worry about herself anymore.

Seeing the little beggar getting up and sitting up, the girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly went over, stretched out her hand to help, and said gently: "Be careful! ”

The little beggar turned his head to look at the girl in Tsing Yi, endured the pain, forced out a smile, and pretended to be relaxed: "I'm fine!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi also smiled relatively well, revealing two rows of thin teeth like broken jade.

The little beggar saw her standing in front of him, smiling, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, his lips and cheeks, all of which were charming, delicate and indescribable, his heart couldn't help pounding, and his nose seemed to faintly smell a burst of aroma, like Lan Fei Lan, like a musk deer, although the breath was not very strong, but it was quiet and heavy, sweet and greasy, smelling and couldn't help but swing in his heart, for a while, he was dizzy, like a demon in the evil, and his eyes could no longer be separated.

Seeing this, the girl in Tsing Yi suddenly fluttered and beat her heart, her face was flushed, her cheeks were feverish, her face was quite embarrassed, and she lowered her head.

The two were quiet, silently facing each other, speechless, hazy, and unaware of the passage of time. The sunlight slowly seeps into the bamboo forest, surrounded by verdant green, the dew on the bamboo leaves, reflecting the bright sun and conjuring up colorful light, there are unknown birds chirping in the distance, there is a breeze blowing, brushing through the hair, soft and warm; The wind is delicate, as if pouring out an ancient and moving love story in the ear, this "ten thousand poisonous forest" infested by poisonous snakes and beasts, at this moment, seems to have become a fairyland on earth, a legendary paradise......

After a long time, the girl in Tsing Yi suddenly said, "Then where are you going now?" ”

The little beggar shook his head, his eyes were blank, and said, "I don't know either!" Let's continue to climb to the top of the mountain, and go to the ruined temple to have a look first, although I have been poisoned by the 'Frost Wind Pill', and there is nothing to do so yet, but I have promised Yan and Hua that the matter must be completed. ”

The girl in Tsing Yi thought sideways for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed, as if she had made a difficult decision, gritted her silver teeth, stomped her feet, and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

The little beggar suddenly filled his chest with joy and exclaimed, "Good! That's great! ”

When the girl in Tsing Yi heard the little beggar's words, she was also very happy, and couldn't help but smile again.

The little beggar stared blankly and said stupidly, "You look so good when you smile......"

The girl in Tsing Yi pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Fool ......" quietly reached out to the little beggar's arm, pinched a small handful of meat, and twisted violently.

"Ahh β€”β€”" The little beggar immediately screamed in exclamation, and his voice was terrible, cutting through the quiet bamboo forest and reaching the sky.

At that moment, the two of them marched towards the top of the mountain.

The little beggar fights for toxins in his body, the pain is unbearable, the whole body is like being pricked by thousands of tiny needles, but he gritted his teeth and endured, not a word, step by step can not help sweating, the foot is very slow, the girl in Tsing Yi can't bear to urge him, so she accompanied him to climb the mountain silently, walked for most of the hour, and walked out of the bamboo forest, but saw the majestic mountains in front of him, the green mountains cut green, the blue Xiu piled up the clouds, the strange peaks were sharp, and the clouds sealed the top of the mountain.

The girl in Tsing Yi saw that the little beggar's painful forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and saw that the road ahead was winding and rugged, and she couldn't bear it, so she said, "Otherwise, let's rest and go again." ”

The little beggar gritted his teeth, shook his head, shuffled his steps, and continued to walk.

The girl in Tsing Yi shook her head, sighed, and quickly followed, stretched out her hand, put it under the little beggar's armpit, and supported him.

The little beggar turned his head, looked at the girl in Tsing Yi, and said, "Thank you!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi smiled at the little beggar, and when she saw his expression of pain, her heart was sour, her eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears, so she quickly turned her head and stopped looking at him.

The two of them walked slowly, at dusk, Fang Shi climbed to the top of the mountain, the little beggar almost collapsed, the girl in Tsing Yi struggled to support him, but also drenched in sweat, standing on the top of the mountain, looking around, surrounded by rolling hills, overgrown with trees, the meandering river of Our Lady on the left rolled by, under the sunset, sè colorful.

The little beggar cheered, his heart was agitated, and finally climbed up, he experienced the pleasure of conquest for the first time, although the blood in his chest was surging, but his heart was full of joy, only to see a large open space in front of him, a lonely stone temple in the middle, the stone temple looked very strange, made of a piece of thousands of pounds of big stones, concave and convex, like a small mountain, revealing a cave-like doorway.

The little beggar and the girl in green clothes walked in, only to see that there was no trace inside, it had long been dilapidated, surrounded by layers of spider silk webs, and a dilapidated shrine in the middle, full of thick dust, enshrined a statue of a god, the idol glared angrily, dressed in a golden robe, wearing a colorful auspicious cloud ring, holding a victory halberd in his right hand, a dazzling metal scepter in his left hand, and a big eagle on his shoulder, which was the "Emperor of the Heavenly Gods", and the two yellow sè curtains hanging in front of the shrine had long been worn out and scattered to the groundThere were two or three sloppy futons scattered next to it.

Immediately, the little beggar shouted three times according to what Yan Laosan said, "Ghost Forest, Yanshan is respected", and then stood aside and waited silently.

Who knows, after waiting for a long time, there was a quiet around, and there was no reaction, the little beggar was surprised, and glanced at the girl in Tsing Yi, both of them were stunned, but they thought that Yan Laosan would not use this to joke with himself, and stayed for a while, and shouted out three times "Ghost Linlin, Yanshan is respected".

After waiting for a while, there was still no response, the girl in Tsing Yi suddenly gritted her silver teeth and said hatefully: "That Yan Laosan is really not a good thing, it seems that he deliberately poisoned you and deliberately deceived you to come here." ”

The little beggar frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Probably not, if he wanted to take my life, he could have done it on the way, so he didn't have to bother to do this." Besides, I have no grudge against him, and I have never known him before, so why should he go to such great lengths to deal with me. The little beggar shook his head and looked at the girl in Tsing Yi slightly, and the eyes of the two were full of confusion, and they were both puzzled.

Although the dusk is beautiful, it is short, and in a short time, the sky is already covered in darkness, and the night is as cool as water.

The girl in Tsing Yi saw that it was too late, and saw that the little beggar was in pain, and she couldn't bear him to run around again, so she said: "Tonight is deep, and it is inconvenient to go down the mountain again, so let's rest here for one night, go down the mountain tomorrow, and then find trouble with Yan Laosan." ”

The corners of the little beggar's mouth flashed with a wry smile, and he secretly thought: "It's not easy to find trouble with Yan Laosan, the world is big, where are you going to find Yan Laosan." Besides, even if he is lucky enough to bump into Yan Laosan, he has great kung fu, and depending on how you and I are his opponents, it will be too late to escape, so how can I talk about making trouble with him. I thought so, but the girl in Tsing Yi was kind, but it was inconvenient to refute, so she shook her head and smiled at the moment, and was silent.

The girl in Tsing Yi turned around and walked out of the temple gate, and after a while, she walked back with a large handful of clean leaves and small dead branches, laid it on the ground on the side, pressed it a few times with the palm of her hand, tried the soft and hard Cheng dΓΉ, felt quite soft, then nodded, and said to the little beggar: "Come and lie down and rest!" ”

The little beggar was greatly moved when he saw the thoughtful thinking of the girl in Tsing Yi, and said softly: "Thank you! You're bothered. ”

The girl in Tsing Yi blushed and said coquettishly: "What are you talking about!" Stretched out his hand and flicked a violent chestnut on the little beggar's head, and the little beggar covered his head, "Ah! With an exclamation, the girl in Tsing Yi smiled and said, "Who told you to see you like this, you deserve it!" The little beggar covered his head and smiled, his heart warm.

After the little beggar lay down, the girl in Tsing Yi turned out of the temple gate again, and after a while, she brought back a large bundle of dry branches, and made a fire, and the little beggar looked at the girl in Tsing Yi, only to see that her cheeks were soft and delicate, ruddy and delicate, her hair and temples were piled up with clouds, and her eyebrows were picturesque, and she looked demented for a while. The girl in Tsing Yi was concentrating on fiddling with the fire, not knowing that she was being stolen by the little beggar, and in a moment, the flames flickered, the light and shadow swayed, and in the broken temple, it was as warm as chΕ«n, and the firelight reflected the cheeks of the girl in Tsing Yi, red and fluttering to the ground, adding to the beauty for a while.

Suddenly, the little beggar's stomach gurgled and screamed, "hehe" The girl in Tsing Yi covered her mouth and smiled, the little beggar was embarrassed, scratched her head, remembered the dry food she brought out from the farmhouse under the mountain, hurriedly untied it from her waist, opened it and looked, when she landed, a fishy smell was puffy, but it had already been soaked in the filthy and poisonous pus and blood flowing out of her body, the little beggar hurriedly wrapped it tightly and threw it aside, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it seems that you are hungry tonight!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi rolled her eyes, smiled slyly, took out three things wrapped in oil paper from the small package she carried, handed them to the little beggar, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Look at what this is?" ”

The little beggar stretched out his hand to take it, his face full of doubts, opened the first oil-paper bag, and exclaimed: "Wind oil chicken!" Then, he hurriedly opened the second and third, and exclaimed: "Sauce pork belly!" Braised pork! The little beggar's eyes blinked, and he was pleasantly surprised.

The girl in Tsing Yi raised her head and said, "Eat it!" ”

The little beggar was very hungry, not polite, reached out and grabbed it and sent it to his mouth, the girl in Tsing Yi watched the little beggar wolf bèi eat on the side, smiled slightly, and also ate a few small pieces of braised pork, the little beggar was like a wind and clouds, in a moment, the food was swept away, looking at his hands full of greasy, and found that the girl in Tsing Yi only ate a few small pieces of braised pork, embarrassed, hehe smirked.

The girl in Tsing Yi said, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

The little beggar hurriedly said, "Full, full!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly, their faces were blushing, and they suddenly felt embarrassed, and they were speechless, silently facing each other.

Halfway through, the little beggar suddenly said, "Your name is Tong Ling, isn't it?" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi glared and shouted: "Who sued you!" ”

The little beggar said, "That's what Yue Tianpeng called you!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi was angry when she thought of Yue Tianpeng, so she snorted coldly in her nose.

The little beggar said: "The name Tong Ling is quite nice!" ”

The girl in Tsing Yi snorted and said angrily: "Isn't the fairy good?" ”

The little beggar said: "The fairy and the child bell are both good, but the name of the fairy is too sacred and ethereal, and it is not as kind as the child bell." ”

When the young girl in Tsing Yi saw him talking considerately, she was very happy, and remembered something again, so she said: "You know my name, but you don't even know your name, how can I call you?" He frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Call you a little beggar, I don't want to, it's better to ...... Why don't you just call you a fool, I'll call you a fool, okay? ”

The little beggar said, "Whatever! Call me whatever you want, as long as I know you're calling me. ”

Tong Ling clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay! I'll call you a fool from now on, fool...... Big fool! Hee-hee! ”

After many years of begging career, the little beggar has long been unimpressed with his name, and when he saw Tong Ling happy, he also smiled with her.

Tong Ling suddenly put away her smile and said, "I'll call you a fool in the future!" ”

The little beggar was slightly stunned and nodded.

Tong Ling stretched out his hand, took out the pair of silver swords, and said solemnly: "From now on, if I hear a second woman call you a fool, I will stab her to death with a sword first, and then stab you to death with another sword." As he spoke, he waved his silver sword and pretended to be vicious on his face.

The little beggar was stunned and said, "What if the second one who calls me a fool is a man?" ”

Tong Ling's face was relaxed for a while, and he said, "It's a man, so I naturally don't care about him." ”

The little beggar was even more puzzled in his heart, and said, "Then why do you have to stab her to death first, and then stab me to death if a woman calls me a fool again?" ”

Tong Ling glared, pretended to be vicious, and said, "What, what, what!" Anyway, you remember, I will call you a fool in the future, and I can only call you a fool alone, and there must be no second person! Remember? ”

The little beggar was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask again, so he nodded in agreement. Suddenly, the shadow of the girl in white that she had seen in Qilin City before came to her mind again, and she thought to herself: "If she wants to call me a fool, will I agree or not?" "I don't know the answer.

Tong Ling saw that the little beggar was silent, so he said, "What are you thinking?" Why don't you speak? ”

The little beggar woke up in shock, shook his head and said, "No...... Didn't think about anything! ”

Tong Ling's eyes flowed, and she said softly: "You annoy me in your heart, don't you?" ”

The little beggar raised his eyes to look at her, and when he saw that she was as angry as an orchid, her eyes were fluttering, and her heart fluttered again, and she said repeatedly: "No, no!" ”

Tong Ling looked at him, turned gently, and said softly: "I know you are a little annoyed with me, but I really don't want other women to call you stupid, because we ...... Because we ......" glanced at the little beggar, bit his lip lightly, his cheeks burned, two red clouds rose, gritted his teeth, plucked up his courage, and continued: "Because our situation is a little different from others, we compare with each other...... Compare...... It's closer. After speaking, he lowered his head, and even his neck was red with shame.

The little beggar looked at Tong Ling, seeing that she was shy and beautiful, gentle and sweet, for a while, I really wanted to reach out and hug her, and love her, but I didn't dare, and I was demented, so I secretly decided not to let the second person call me a fool in the future, even if it was the girl in white.

I only heard Tong Ling whisper softly: "Don't annoy me, I won't let you suffer, you will call me Lingzi in the future, this title, only when I was a child, my mother called me like this, and then, no one has ever called me like this, in the future, I will only let you call me like this, if there are other men who call me like this, I will stab him to death first, and then stab myself to death, okay." ”

The little beggar sniffed the whispers, but felt tender, sweet and obsessed, and said dumbly: "No, no! You don't stab yourself, I'd rather me die than you suffer any harm. ”

When Tong Ling heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and the sweetness was abnormal, he raised his head and smiled, just like chΕ«n back to the earth, a hundred flowers were in full bloom, and the little beggar was obsessed and stunned for a while.

Tong Ling was infinitely charming, and for a while, she didn't know what to say, so she took out a thing from the package, held it in her hand, and played with it.

The little beggar saw at a glance that it was a spar, slender and long, in the shape of six lings, crystal clear, red and shining, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Red crystal!" ”

Tong Ling raised his eyes and said, "You know it too!" ”

The little beggar nodded and said, "I've heard others talk about it, but this is the first time I've seen it." I thought to myself: "This must be what Yue Tianpeng's apprentice gave her, alas!" I think that Yue Tianpeng gave his life for this. But somehow, when he remembered that this was given to Tong Ling by Yue Tianpeng's "dwarf winter melon" apprentice, the little beggar felt sour and extremely uncomfortable.

Tong Ling saw that the little beggar frowned slightly, so he said softly: "What? Do you feel uncomfortable when you see me take that 'dwarf winter melon' thing? ”

The little beggar was shocked by her guessing the matter, and hurriedly said: "No, no!" It's not, it's not! This thing is very valuable, and you must keep it carefully. ”

Tong Ling sighed faintly, his eyes were resentful, and said, "What! You won't tell me the truth so soon, are you going to lie to me so soon? ”

The little beggar was stunned, looked at Tong Ling, and saw that her eyes were blurred, sad and resentful, and he felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't bear to deceive, and said, "I...... I don't know what is going on myself, but when I see you taking what someone else gives you, I ...... I felt very uncomfortable. ”

Tong Ling's eyes flashed, and he said, "As soon as you see me receiving something from others, you feel sour in your heart, don't you?" ”

The little beggar was stunned: "I only said that I felt uncomfortable, how do you know that my heart is sour?" ”

Tong Ling suddenly became happy, clapping her hands and laughing.

The little beggar was puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Are you...... What happened to you? ”

Tong Ling smiled: "It's nothing! I just need to know that when you see me taking other people's things, your heart is sour and uncomfortable, and I will be happy! ”

The little beggar was even more puzzled, and asked, "Why?" ”

Tong Ling clapped her hands and laughed, and suddenly stuck out her tongue at the little beggar, with a grimace, and said happily: "No why! ”

The little beggar was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to say, but he felt that the woman's mind in front of him was really strange and difficult to guess.

Tong Ling was happy for a while, suddenly holding the red crystal in his hand with both hands, aiming at the shrine in the broken temple, suddenly, the red light was sheng, a bunch of red mangs "whoosh" shè came out, "bang" hit the shrine, when landing, boom loud, like the sky and the earth cracked, the broken temple shook, the dust flew, the shrine collapsed, and the karala scattered fragments.

The little beggar was shocked, "Ah! There was an exclamation, and his face was like earth. Tong Ling was also so frightened that her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she muttered to herself: "Ah! It's so powerful...... It's so powerful...... "In the dust, the two of them were disgraced.
