Xie Zheng has been chanting and worshipping the Buddha in Jiming Temple for two days, and only tomorrow, he can leave the temple and return home.

It was late, the temple prepared a vegetarian meal, Xie Zheng and the county lord of Liyang and the county lord of Xinning dined together, the three of them ate together and were silent, until after eating, they left Wuguan Hall, on the way to the meditation room, several people only opened their mouths to talk.

The county lord of Liyang and the county lord of Xinning were sitting opposite Xie Zheng, they were still eating, they were watching Xie Zheng put down the chopsticks, they were also busy putting down the chopsticks, seeing Xie Zheng get up and leave the table, they also got up and left the table, in short, everything has followed Xie Zheng in the past few days, the three of them walked out of Wuguan Hall, Xie Zheng turned back and smiled at them, and finally couldn't help but ask vaguely: "Have you both eaten?" ”

The two nodded one after the other, and the county lord of Liyang replied: "Lord Xie is concerned and has already eaten." ”

The county lord of Xinning also hurriedly replied: "Yes." ”

Xie Zheng was very helpless in his heart, these two county lords were really too cautious! provoked several people to stand together and have nothing to say.

"Actually, you don't have to be polite to me, if you want to talk about it, the two of you are still elders," Xie Zheng walked in front and said casually, and the two county lords followed behind, still nodding respectfully and responding: "Yes." ”

When he walked into the courtyard of the meditation room, the county lord of Liyang suddenly asked Xie Zheng: "Does the county lord have anything to do at night?" ”

Xie Zheng happened to be not far in front of the door of the Zen house where he lived, so he stopped, turned around and said, "I plan to copy the Great Compassion Mantra twice, and give it to Master Huiyuan early tomorrow morning." ”

The county lord of Liyang and the county lord of Xinning glanced at each other and said, "That old man also copied the "Great Compassion Divine Mantra" twice and handed it to Master Huiyuan. ”

The county lord of Xinning also said: "The old body is also copied." ”

Xie Zheng was speechless, he only smiled, then raised his hand to the right and pointed to the right side, pointing to the two adjacent meditation rooms where the county lord of Liyang and the county lord of Xinning lived, and said: "It's not early, the two of you should rest early, there is still a Dharma to do tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry," the county lord of Liyang hurriedly waved his hand at Xie Zheng, but instead pointed to the meditation room where Xie Zheng lived, and said with a smile: "It's better for the county lord to go back to the house first." ”

These two always abide by those outdated rules and etiquette, not only to eat and drink to look at Xie Zheng's face, but even to sleep and rest to Xie Zheng first, waiting outside Xie Zheng's door early in the morning, and watching Xie Zheng enter the house at night, Xie Zheng can't say it's easy to say, so he can only smile at them: "I eat a lot at the right time, I still need to walk, let's go back first." ”

Since Xie Zheng ordered, the two had to agree, so they saluted and retired, and returned to the main house of Liyang County together.

The meditation rooms where the three of them live are all adjacent, Xie Zheng is closest to the courtyard gate, the county lord of Xinning is next to Xie Zheng in the middle, and the county lord of Liyang is next to the county lord of Xinning at the very end, as for the entourage of several people, they all live in the meditation room opposite, You Jian and Yuzhi each live in one, and the maids of the two county lords live in the same room.

Xie Zheng didn't let out a long sigh of relief until the two of them closed the door, and came out with the two old county lords, but he really felt pressured!

You Jian followed behind her, and she looked back and said to him listlessly, "You can go back to the house too." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she went back to the meditation room, Yuzhi followed her in, Xie Zheng walked to the bookcase and sat down, Yuzhi saw the situation and wanted to sharpen the ink for her, but Xie Zheng brought the ink ingot, and only said to her: "This paperweight is not easy to use, you can take it again." ”

"There happens to be one in the slave house, the slave will bring it to you," Yuzhi went to fetch the paperweight, laid out the yellow paper for Xie Zheng, pressed the newly brought paperweight on it, and then took the ink ingot from Xie Zheng's hand and continued to sharpen the ink for her.

Xie Zheng picked up Mao Ying and dipped it in ink, only then did she see a drop of soybean-sized ink on her cuffs, she frowned, sighed helplessly, put down Mao Ying, picked up her wide sleeves, looked at the drop of ink, and said: "The clothes I just changed are dirty, and I have to do things tomorrow, which can be called how I can meet people." ”

Now it is the middle of summer, the clothes are naturally changed diligently, Xie Zheng originally packed up his things in the Hou Mansion and prepared to live in Jiming Temple, he planned to bring a change of clothes, but after thinking about it, the temple is pure, there are always many inconveniences in changing clothes, so I have to ask the maid in the house to send clean clothes every evening and take away the dirty clothes that have been changed.

Now the cuffs are dirty, but Xie Zheng has no choice but to change them.

When Yuzhi heard this, he hurriedly put down the ink ingot in his hand and said, "Lady, why don't you ...... Now the slave is going back to the house and getting you a set of clean clothes? ”

Xie Zheng looked at the darkness outside the window and said, "It's dark, forget it, this ink is not big, and you can't see it." ”

Yuzhi smiled and said: "What's the matter, the slave rides back on a fast horse, and it won't be long before he comes back and forth." ”

Xie Zheng picked up Mao Ying again at this moment and said, "It's okay, then you should be careful on the road." ”

"Yes," Yuzhi took the door out, and walked to You Jian uneasily, knocked on the door, and advised: "You Jian, I have something to go back to the house, and I will come over in a while, you protect the lady." ”

You Jian took off his long coat and was about to rest, when he heard Yuzhi shouting outside, he hurriedly put on his clothes again.

Yuzhi has been out for a long time, Xie Zheng's "Great Compassion Spell", has also been copied again, is picking up the paperweight to replace the next piece of yellow paper to copy, Xie Zheng sat in front of the bookcase, suddenly felt sore, and a little unable to exert strength, even holding Mao Ying's hand, is also trembling slightly, his head is groggy, Xie Zheng did not think much about it, only felt that it was because of the day's rituals today, a moment of exhaustion, so the physical strength is exhausted, so put down Mao Ying, hold his forehead and close his eyes for a break.

Soon after closing his eyes, a beam of light suddenly flashed in front of Xie Zheng's eyes, Xie Zheng was shocked to find something abnormal, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes and a little impoverished standing in front of the open window, holding a crescent-shaped double-edged scimitar with a snake's head handle in his hand, his eyes were fierce and murderous!

This person just entered through the window, Xie Zheng never heard the slightest movement, and the weapon in his hand was such a powerful thing, it seemed that he was a master of the rivers and lakes!

Xie Zheng secretly thought that the situation was not good, but he still pretended to be calm, and only asked, "Sent by the Gu family again?" ”

The killer was silent, Xie Zheng only took him as a tacit, and she said again: "The Gu family has learned to be smart this time and sent a master, but if you want to deal with me a weak woman who is powerless, I won't invite a master like you." ”

"No nonsense," the killer finally spoke, his hoarse voice worthy of his status as a master.

Xie Zheng picked up Mao Ying without hurry, and then suddenly flew Mao Ying to the window behind the killer, Mao Ying shot down the fork pole supporting the window, and the window was closed.

And the killer stood there, still motionless, he was so calm and calm!

Xie Zheng knocked down the fork pole, and it made a sound, she thought of this as a reminder to You Jian who lived opposite, and wanted to delay the time until Yuzhi returned, so she said: "Temple Pure Land, I don't want to kill here." ”

The voice fell, and sure enough, I saw You Jian break through the door and break in in a hurry, but he panicked when he entered the door and said: "Xie Niangzi, that pot of herbal tea ......"

Before he finished speaking, he already saw the killer standing in front of the window, and when he saw the scimitar, You Jian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Close the door," Xie Zheng's breathing was slightly short, she now knew that the pot of herbal tea before the meal was problematic, fortunately, she didn't drink much, but You Jian drank a lot!

You Zheng closed the door, and the killer immediately swung a knife at Xie Zheng to kill, Xie Zheng immediately stood up, overturned the bookcase in front of him, blocked the killer, and took this opportunity to run to You Zhen and fight back to back with him, and at this time the killer had also turned to the two, Xie Zheng asked You Zheng in a low voice: "Can you still hold it?" ”

"I'm fine, Sister Yuzhi told me to protect Xie Niangzi," You Jian almost gasped as he spoke.

The killer killed the two, Xie Zheng and You Jian also rushed hard, You Jian drank a lot of herbal tea, he was already weak, three or four rounds down, he was even more staggered, and there were several wounds on his body that were not deep or shallow, and when he was covering his chest and gasping, he was defenseless and let the killer fly with a palm, and fell heavily on the wall about two feet away behind him, and then fell to the ground, struggling and unable to get up.

"You check!" Xie Zheng was shocked, You Jian looked at her, waved his hand weakly, and said, "I...... I'm fine. ”

While the two were talking, the killer was rushing towards You Jian, raising the scimitar in his hand and slashing at him, Xie Zheng saw that the scimitar was about to touch You Zhen, so he immediately chased after him, and when he walked to the side behind the killer, he flew up and kicked the killer's hand holding the scimitar, so the killer staggered backwards.

When he stood firm, he didn't care about You Zheng anymore, only turned his eyes to Xie Zheng, so he waved his knife to kill Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng was also physically exhausted at this time, and when he was fighting, his arm was accidentally cut by a scimitar, and now the blood is not stopping, and he is even more dizzy, so he has to turn to attack and defend.

But even if she turned from offense to defense, the killer frequently killed with a dead hand, and after a few rounds, Xie Zheng couldn't support it, she was dizzy for a while, and almost fell to the ground, and now she was bent on her knees and half squatting, supporting the ground with one hand, and covering the rather serious wound on her arm with the other.

You Jian didn't know when he was lying on the ground, he wanted to come to the rescue, but he tried his best, and he couldn't act, so he had to crawl on the ground, stretched out one hand to Xie Zheng, and endured the sharp pain in his chest and called: "Xie Niangzi......"

When the words fell, the man had fainted.

Xie Zheng looked at You Zhen like that, and was shocked to think that he had choked his breath, and couldn't help but be angry, she was unwilling to die, after all, the great cause had not been accomplished, so she tried her last strength to jump up, and kicked at the neck of the killer who was approaching her.

This is almost a life-threatening palm, Xie Zheng naturally couldn't withstand it, she was a foot away from the door at this time, that palm hit, directly made her grab the door, and fell into the courtyard in front of the door, under her body was the door that had been torn apart, and under her waist was a sharp wooden block, the moment she fell to the ground, it stabbed into her body alive.

Xie Zheng was lying on the ground, almost unable to breathe in pain, a sharp pain in her chest surged up, she struggled even more painfully, and suddenly felt the sweetness in her mouth, she was busy supporting half of her body and lifting it slightly, pinning her face to the right, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

She saw that the door of the county lord of Liyang opened a crack the size of a fist, and inside the crack in the door, the county lord of Liyang and the county lord of Xinning were squatting and standing, both of them were looking at her, one was covering his mouth with his hands, his face was full of tears, and the other was already frightened.

The killer walked out slowly, looking at Xie Zhengshi's eyes, as if he was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

"I'm going to die, and now ...... Just want to know, exactly...... Who is going to kill me? "So far, Xie Zheng is no longer sure if this person is sent by the Gu family, there are so many people who want to kill her, and there are many people who know that she is now in Jiming Temple, maybe it is Xie Guifei's mother and son? Or maybe it's Luo Shuyi's mother and son?

The killer stood under the corridor at the door, silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "It's Mrs. Gu, who asked me to take your head." ”

As the words fell, the two county lords had quietly closed the door.

Xie Zheng was not surprised now, only put down the arm that supported half of his body, lay flat on the ground, and looked straight at the scattered stars in the sky, at this moment, she hated Xie Wei the most.

"I can pay back what I owe to the Gu family, but I can't die now...... I still have a great revenge to avenge and a love that has not been repaid......"

His eyes were not moist, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he couldn't see the stars in the sky clearly, Xie Zheng closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "You can't ......settle down when you enter the ground."

How can the killer have feelings, he is approaching Xie Zheng step by step, and when he walks to her, he raises his knife and is about to take Xie Zheng's head, but unexpectedly, a string of phoenix-eyed Bodhi prayer beads suddenly flew from the direction of the courtyard gate, hitting the killer's chest, although it was only a string of prayer beads, but the force of the flight forced the killer to stagger back four or five steps.

Xie Zheng heard the movement, immediately opened his eyes, and looked at it, only to see an old monk with eyebrows flying over, and the killer immediately slapped to meet the enemy, the two happened to face each other, the old monk landed steadily, but the killer flew a few feet away.

The old monk stood with his back to Xie Zheng, clasped his hands together, and only said: "Amitabha, good and good," the voice was familiar, and Xie Zheng called in a low voice: "Master Huiyuan......"

The killer was quite unconvinced, and swung his knife to kill Master Huiyuan, the two fought, the killer had already fallen behind, and when the knife was released, Master Huiyuan only dodged, and he unfortunately died under his own knife.

"Deyin!"

Xie Zheng vaguely seemed to hear the sound of Huan Ling, and then he was suddenly picked up, and he ran steadily but staggeringly between the layers of courtyards of Jiming Temple.

There was a blur in front of him, Xie Zheng seemed to see Huan Ling's angular face again, and he was calling her again, and his voice was "Deyin", like anxious.

"Is it a county marquis......"

"It's me! It's me! Deyin! ”

"Am I going to die......"

"Nope! You won't die! I haven't married you yet, how can you die......"

"That'...... When will the marquis marry me? ”

Drops of hot tears fell on Xie Zheng's face, Xie Zheng had fallen asleep, but in a trance he heard Huan Ling say: "When you get better, I will marry you." ”
