Chapter Ninety-Four: Attachment Produces Pain
Within a moment, the remaining five or six mountain bandits also fell under Sikong Shaoyang's Bi Xiao. He put away Bi Xiao and walked to the woman who was already scared stupid and helped her up: "It's okay, are you okay?" ”
The woman stroked the crying child in her arms, trembling and said, "Thank you hero, thank you hero!" ”
However, Sikong Shaoyang didn't notice that in the dark, a dying mountain bandit raised a short sword and aimed it at his chest and stabbed it.
"Phew!"
……
"Brother Shaoyang!"
Su Wu woke up from her dream, sweating profusely, she gasped violently, looked around, and remembered that she had calmed down a little in the meditation room of Wankong Temple.
She couldn't help but think back to the terrible dream just now, she couldn't remember what happened in the dream, she only remembered that at the last moment of the dream, she saw Sikong Shaoyang lying in a pool of blood, and she wanted to pull him but couldn't move, so she was awakened.
Su Wu rubbed her head and walked out of bed and opened the window, the sun had not yet risen, looking at the gray sky, she tried her best to convince herself: It was just a dream.
But when I closed my eyes, my mind was full of pictures of Sikong Shaoyang lying in a pool of blood, could something really happen to Sikong Shaoyang? Dongzhao's army has been going to Yanshan for almost ten days, and there is still no news coming back, and Su Wu is becoming more and more uneasy......
Su Wu pulled up her hair, walked to the Buddhist hall of the temple, knelt on the futon in front of the statue of Guanyin, and silently chanted sutras and prayers.
At this time, the abbot of the temple, Yichen, walked into the hall.
"Master Yichen." Su Wan got up and folded her hands and saluted sincerely.
Abbot Yichen waved his hand and motioned for her to come with him.
The two came to the side of the main hall, the abbot sat on the futon in front of the tea table, and Su Wu also sat down opposite the abbot.
"Miss Su, get up so early." The abbot spoke.
"Yes, I had a frightening dream last night, and then I couldn't sleep."
"If you have a knot in your heart, you will not be able to sleep peacefully."
"The abbot's eyes are like torches, and the little woman does have a knot in her heart."
"From the last time you and Tao Gongzi came to visit Bi Shu, I noticed that there was a cloud of sorrow between your eyebrows, and it seems that after all these days, the girl's knot still hasn't been untied."
Su Wan smiled bitterly: "The little woman is dull, this knot is difficult to untie." ”
"That Tao Gongzi is not the one who can untie the knot in your heart."
Su Wu seemed to have been told some secret, and suddenly looked up, only to see that the abbot's eyes were still as calm as a lake.
"However, this obsession is destined not to be allowed......" Su Wan shook her head.
"Attachment produces pain, and only by letting go can we get freedom and happiness."
"Down? Dare to ask the abbot, how to put it down? ”
"Girl must know that the bell must be tied to the bell."
"I ...... I see, thank you Abbot. ”
Finally, Su Wu made up her mind at the moment of the sun rise and went to Yanshan.
After packing her luggage briefly, she and her two maidservants set off down the mountain and got into their own carriage to go to Yanshan.
On the way, she took off the golden key she was wearing around her neck.
"I'm sorry Zhong Yu, I'm just going to see if he's okay, just a glance, as long as he's okay, I'll marry you when I come back."
……
Sikong Shaoyang covered his chest with one hand, and inserted Bi Xiao into the abdomen of the mountain bandit who attacked him with the other hand, watching his distorted face freeze on his face, and then fell to the ground on his back.
Sikong Shaoyang took out the golden hair crown that had been transformed from his chest, "Girl, you saved me." "It turned out that Sikong Shaoyang put the hair crown that Su Wu had given him close to his chest when he traveled, and the mountain bandit's short knife happened to be inserted into the hair crown, so the mountain bandit didn't succeed, and Sikong Shaoyang was naturally fine.
He stood up, slowly walked up to the bandit, and stomped on the man's chest, "Damn it, ruined what she gave me." Saying that, he pulled out his Bi Xiao in disgust.
He held up the crown of hair in front of his eyes and sighed softly, the crown of hair faintly glowed with golden light in the moonlight, but not only was it deformed, but even the red jade jade that Sikong Shaoyang had later added was also lost.
It must have been where he fell just now, Sikong Shaoyang squatted down and looked carefully on the ground, and finally not far behind the mountain bandits, he saw a faint red light flashing in the darkness, Sikong Shaoyang stepped over, and found that it was really the missing part along with the red jade jade, he picked it up happily, but did not notice that it was a landslide under his feet, and when he was about to get up and leave, he stepped on the air and fell down the steep slope full of mud and fallen leaves, the steep slope was slippery, and Sikong Shaoyang could not stop without a focus point.
"Bang!"
The back of his head hit a boulder protruding from the slope, and he was unconscious after a sharp pain.
Su Wu rushed to the town next to Yanshan, which was the town that Sikong Shaoyang led the troops to enter the mountain, and after inquiring, she learned that the official troops only took a short rest in the town when they came, and left for Yanshan again after less than half a day.
In the Yanshan area, the terrain is complicated, and Su Wu is the first time to come, so she must find a guide, but after asking several inns and horse shops, no one is willing to take the job of this guide.
"Girl, it's not that we don't want to earn your money, it's just that you also know that the world is not stable now, and the people of Mengtianzhai often come and go to harm the people, and the doors are closed, and I only heard that there are people who flee from the mountains, but I don't hear that they want to go to the mountains!"
"I really have someone very important to find, I'll give you three times the price, you can help, find a guide and me!" Su Wan's face was full of pleading.
"Girl, even if you give five times ten times the money, I'm afraid that no one will dare to go, now that the imperial court has sent an army, it is not easy for Meng Tianzhai to retreat into the mountains, and you are going to Yanshan, but you are not jumping into the tiger and wolf's den!"
After being rejected by all the shops in the town one by one, Su Wan walked down the street in despair, anxiously not knowing what to do.
At this time, a man in his early thirties who looked like a coachman pulled the carriage aisle and said to Su Wan's side: "Girl, I just heard you talking to the innkeeper, are you going to Yanshan?" ”
"Exactly! Do you have a way? Su Wu didn't have much hope at this time.
"I happen to be going too, if the girl walks with me, and we take care of each other."
"It's such a coincidence, you are also going to Yanshan, that is really good!" Su Wan's eyes lit up, and hope was rekindled.
"My family's old house is in the village at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, and then moved to the town, and there are still some relics of the deceased mother and father in the old house.
Since the ancestral house is under Yanshan, it should be quite familiar with the terrain of the route, Su Wu was overjoyed: "Thank you Yishi, I will pay you silver!" ”
"I don't need money, it's just a gesture, a matter of the way, but I'm going to leave now, I don't know when the girl can leave?"
