Chapter 42: Momiji Temple

The speed of the carriage was very fast, like a light boat shuttling through the mountains, and it went straight to the direction of Wuzhou along the ancient official road. Shi Xuanxuan is not very old, only two or three years older than Xia Qing, but perhaps because she has been with the flag dancer all the year round, she is experienced and very good at taking care of people, and she is even an expert in driving.

Late at night, the fog on the official road became thicker and thicker, and Shi Xuanxuan gradually couldn't see the road clearly, so she stopped and drove to a temple to stay.

In order to avoid unnecessary accidents, Shi Xuanxuan disguised herself as a man, put on a wide hat, and then got out of the car and knocked on the door gently.

No one answered, the quiet cold wind blew, and there were no people within a radius of ten miles, only the temple stood alone on the mountainside. However, judging from the ruts on the ground, it is not a deserted temple that usually allows people to enter and exit, and some people can stay.

Shi Xuanxuan continued to knock on the door, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the temple, and the temple door finally creaked open, and a small novice poked his head out, "Who is it?"

"Master, we sent our uncle out for treatment, and missed the township where we could stay. Passing by your temple late at night, I asked the master to have mercy and let me wait for a night's rest. Shi Xuanxuan's voice pretended to be hoarse, pretending to be a young man.

Xiao Shami glanced at Xia Qing and Zhao Da Butler who were sitting in the carriage, frowned, and was about to refuse to retract when suddenly his nose moved, and he looked Shi Xuanxuan up and down carefully.

"Master, we will only stay for one night, and we will leave early tomorrow morning. My uncle is seriously ill, and sleeping outside is easy to contract the wind and cold, so please have mercy on the master. Shi Xuanxuan's tone was tactful.

Xiao Shami thought for a moment, "Amitabha, a few donors, come in." ”

Xiao Shami led the way in front with a lantern, and Xia Qing and the three followed. As soon as he entered the temple, a cold wind slammed the door shut, rolling up thousands of fallen leaves. Under the hazy moonlight, the words 'Red Leaf Temple' are faintly visible above the temple gate.

Xia Qing felt a little cold, the butler Zhao on his back motionless and seemed to be asleep, Shi Xuanxuan led the carriage and walked beside him, and the long sword on his back suddenly trembled and let out a sword groan.

Xiao Shami seemed to hear something, looked back, and walked up a winding path with a lantern, "Two donors, please come here." ”

"Good. ”

Shi Xuanxuan nodded, and the two followed behind Xiao Shami, and along the way, the towering ancient trees became more and more desolate. Through the dense branches and leaves, you can see a Buddha hall lit with oil lamps, and more than a dozen old monks sitting cross-legged inside, bursts of Sanskrit sounds and Buddha horns come from afar.

Shi Xuanxuan was a little surprised, "Master, it's so late, you haven't rested yet?"

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Shami continued to walk and said, "In the past two days, the abbot has been preaching the Dharma, and the surrounding monks have rushed over. There is no room in the temple, and the three donors have been wronged to stay in the firewood room for one night, and they have invited Haihan to go anywhere. ”

"The master is serious, when you go out, it's good to have a place to stay. Shi Xuanxuan replied.

The three of them continued on their way, walking for a while before coming to a stop in a cabin in the woods. As soon as Xiao Shami's front foot left, Shi Xuanxuan closed the door, pulled out a hair and tied it to the door bolt, and a small bell hung underneath, "Young Alliance Master, rest early, don't go out at night." ”

"Why?" Xia Qing asked, finding that Shi Xuanxuan's small mechanism was very ingenious, and as long as someone pushed the door, it immediately made a sound.

"Something is wrong with this ancient temple, there is obviously incense, but no one cleans the fallen leaves on the ground. ”

"The monk's robe on the little novice is finely made, but it can be seen that there is a lot of greasy in the night, and there is no cleanliness of ordinary monks. ”

"It's been this hour, and the lights are still lit in the Buddha hall, and it sounds like Sanskrit, but there is a gust of wind blowing in the woods!"

Shi Xuanxuan was delicate, and casually said three suspicious things. She hadn't even said anything more terrifying, worrying that scared Xia Qing. The Qiuhong Sword on her back has an extraordinary origin, it is a treasure found by the Master of the Flag Dance in an ancient ruin, and she will immediately react when she senses the breath of demons and monsters. The moment she entered the door, she already noticed something was wrong.

"Since it's so weird, can you quit now?" Xia Qing had already sensed that something was wrong.

"I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Shi Xuanxuan shook her head, and quickly sorted out three small rooms to settle down with Steward Zhao, "The Buddha hall is full of demon monks, once you alarm them, I'm afraid it will be even worse! Young Alliance Master, rest early, and leave early tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, Sister Xuanxuan, our safety depends on you. In the future, don't call me the master of the Young Alliance, just call me Xia Qing, or Xia Gongzi. Xia Qing fell asleep, and she was really tired, mainly because she was tired. Fighting with the Five Poisons Sect Master early in the morning, and then fighting with the Hundred Ghost Sect Masters on a moonlit night, and then passing the level to break through the bottleneck on the Chaotian Platform, too many things happened on this day.

Shi Xuanxuan suddenly blushed a little, "Less...... , Childe, what do you call me?"

"Call you Sister Xuanxuan, what's wrong?" Xia Qing blinked.

"No ......"

Shi Xuanxuan's face turned even redder, waiting for Xia Qing to lie down, and after helping him pull the quilt, she was still standing beside Xia Qing's bed, her face flushed as if she was going to say something and was embarrassed to say it.

Xia Qing was a little strange, "Sister Xuanxuan, do you have something?"

"No ......"

Shi Xuanxuan's face was red to the root of her ears, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Xia Qing, her voice was not much louder than a mosquito screaming, "That...... , Childe, you ...... , do you want to ...... tonight?"

"What do you want?"

Xia Qing wondered, she had already laid down to rest, and she couldn't think of anything else.

Shi Xuanxuan's voice became quieter, "Childe, you ...... Do you want to double cultivate?"

"What?"

Xia Qing couldn't react a little, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"It's ...... , This is Shizun's order, saying that you must ask Gongzi for instructions before going to bed every night, I ......" Shi Xuanxuan was so ashamed that she raised her head, "Childe, you ...... tonight Do you want to ......"

"No, not tonight. Xia Qing subconsciously shook his head.

Hearing him say this, Shi Xuanxuan seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly turned around and retreated.

Xia Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, and then reacted, feeling that he had said the wrong thing. If you don't want it tonight, what about tomorrow night?

Xia Qing suddenly thought about Shi Xuanxuan's charming face and graceful figure, and she was a little worried, afraid that if she came again, she would really not be able to hold it, and her life would be ruined. From childhood to adulthood, the old lady repeatedly said that the red face was in trouble, and told him not to get close to women until he achieved it, and he was not even allowed to look at the beautiful maids more, saying that Yuanyang would go crazy with premature ejaculation, and even be haunted by evil ghosts, so the maids who waited for Xia Qing and Xia Yuanba to live were replaced by old women.

"It's over, I just looked at Sister Xuanxuan twice, will I go crazy?"

"No, it's not just two eyes, it's three, four, five, six, seven, eight eyes, ......"

Xia Qing stiffened his fingers, and soon found that his fingers were not enough, and he suddenly lost his sleepiness. Although I know that the old lady is very likely to be scaring people, but what if?

Xia Qing was a little worried, and Shi Xuanxuan's laughter came from the next room, and the voice was so good that it could hook people's souls.

"It's over, I was miserable by the flag dancer, grandma is right, sure enough, the more beautiful a woman is, the more harmful she is. ”

Xia Qing secretly complained, but her ears were subconsciously attached to the wall to hear Shi Xuanxuan's laughter again, but there was no sound in the next room.
