Chapter 0024: Longmen Grottoes
Xie Yu couldn't figure out why Zhou Ba appeared near the Longmen Grottoes, even if she guessed everything, she had to go to the Longmen Grottoes to find out.
She glanced at Pei Heng and saw that his eyes were also full of thoughts.
After a moment of silence, she called at Pei Heng, "My lord......"
Before the latter words could be spoken, Pei Heng's cold voice was heard and her unfinished words were answered, "Go to the Longmen Grottoes." ”
The sun hung high in the sky, pillars of light sprinkled from the clouds, and Xie Yu reached out to catch a scorching spot of light. She wondered in her heart whether these nine murders would eventually break through the clouds like this pillar of light and finally reveal the truth to the world.
So what about the unjust case of her Xie family?
Xie Yu didn't know, she only knew that her only hope now was to follow Pei Heng to Lingnan. To find out the whereabouts of everyone in the Xie family, as long as the Xie family is still alive, she is not the only one in this world.
Seeing Xie Yu holding a beam of light stunned in place, Pei Heng turned around and glanced at her lightly, "Let's go." ”
Xie Yu came back to her senses after a sigh, and saw Pei Heng standing by the carriage with her hands in her hands, and replied, "Yes." ”
——
At this time, the sun was in full bloom, and Xie Yu was still shrinking in the corner of the carriage. After walking all the way for a long time, it gradually cooled down a little.
The wind blew and lifted the corner of the curtain, Xie Yu looked out along the gap and saw an herbal tea stall on the side of the road. In addition to the herbal tea, there is the aroma of food and the breeze blowing.
She didn't eat a drop of rice since the morning, and poured a hot tea soup along the way, the aroma lingered on the tip of her nose, and her stomach made a few noises.
Pei Heng rubbed his hand on the teacup, and looked up at Xie Yu when he heard the sound, and Cui Yun also looked at her along the line.
Although it is human nature, Xie Yu is still a little ashamed.
She lowered her eyes and didn't make a sound, then heard Pei Heng speak: "Stop." ”
Xie Yu raised her head suspiciously to meet his eyes, and saw that he lifted the curtain with two fingers, and raised his chin slightly at the tea stand, "I'm tired all the way, it's not too late to drink a cup of herbal tea." ”
Pei Heng turned his head to look at Cui Yun, Cui Yun seemed to hear the sounds in Xie Yu's abdomen, seemed to want to laugh and smiled slightly, and echoed Pei Heng, "It's okay." ”
Pei Heng and Cui Yun are both eunuchs with a temperament, and it is not embarrassing to be deeply educated.
Rao is like this, Xie Yu still feels that the tips of her ears are hot, and she doesn't have to look at it to know that she is red because of shame.
Cui Yun and Pei Heng were drinking tea, but they were actually accompanying Xie Yu to eat. , a prefect, a messenger, waiting for her to be such a nobody, what a big lift this is, how dare Xie Yu be hypocritical, and eat hard after ordering a bowl of noodles.
Master Liu also caught up with him, and when he saw the two adults drinking tea silently, he understood a little in his heart, so he also sat down and asked for a bowl of herbal tea and sipped slowly.
Pei Heng slowly sipped herbal tea, and the light in the corner of his eyes fell on Xie Yu.
She ate quickly, but it wasn't ugly, and she chewed each bite carefully before swallowing, barely making any sound of eating.
The rules of eating like this are already rooted in the bones and difficult to change.
Pei Heng couldn't help but wonder what her original family background was like. Xie Yu is a good seedling, but it's a pity that creation makes people.
Xie Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and just as she wanted to speak, she saw the crowd. A familiar figure appeared.
When people approached, Xie Yu saw that it was Wang Xiang'er.
Wang Xiang'er also saw Xie Yu and the others, she walked towards them slowly, gave a slight salute and called humanity in turn: "Master Cui, Master Pei, Master Liu, Brother Xie." ”
Master Liu was surprised for a moment when he saw Wang Xiang'er, and his two goatees moved and asked, "Why is Miss Wang here?" ”
Wang Xiang'er replied softly: "On this ten-day fasting day, reciting the scriptures in front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can ensure that there are no disasters in the east, west, north and south. ”
Xie Yu was a little curious when she heard this, "What is ten fasting days?" ”
"Brother Xie is not a child of the Buddhist family, but he doesn't know that these ten fasting days are the first, eighth, fourteenth, fifteenth, eighteenth, twentyeth, twenty-third, twenty-fourth, twenty-eighth, twenty-ninth, and thirtieth day of the month, which is the day of fasting for the Buddhist family."
"If you fast for ten days and read the scriptures a lot, you will get the consummation. Don't say ten days, that is, a hundred days, but I am willing to do it. Xie Yu's eyes moved, and she said unconsciously.
If the suffering in this world can be solved by just asking for the blessing of God and Buddha, wouldn't it be a paradise in the world?
If this is the case, it will be much easier for them to investigate the case.
Master Liu also smiled and said: "What my lord said is right, if you just chant and fast, you can make everything in the world peaceful, and Master Cui and I will not let him read him for a hundred and eighty years, so as to seek peace in the world!" ”
Cui Yun also smiled when he heard Master Liu say this. And Xie Yu listened to the words of the person at the table before, but she couldn't help frowning, and thought in her heart.
These 10 days of fasting are the way that is revered in the Jizo Sutra, but the Buddha statues seen in the dwellings of the deceased a few days ago are clearly the happy Buddhas.
It is not an exaggeration to say that these two Buddhas are very different.
Could it be that behind this case is a tragedy caused by two conflicts?
If this moral struggle is really involved, then I am afraid that this case will be even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Xie Yu inevitably felt a headache, and secretly prayed in her heart that this matter was best just a coincidence. Otherwise, I am afraid that the road to investigation of this case will be further obstructed.
The group rested for a long time, then returned to the road and continued to move forward. Fortunately, this destination is not far away, and everyone has accelerated their pace, and within this hour, they have already arrived at the Longmen Grottoes.
However, after some investigation, everyone did not find anything unusual. The clue in his hand seems to be broken.
"This Longmen Grottoes, no matter how you look left and right, it doesn't seem to have any problems at all." Cui Yun frowned, looked at Pei Heng's expression, and said thoughtfully, "Jingzhi, I think the fact that these people came to the Longmen Grottoes, is it just a coincidence?" And this case has nothing to do with it? ”
"If it's just one or two people, it's probably an accident. But all the victims have been to this Longmen Grottoes, so there must be something wrong. Xie Yu stood behind Pei Heng and said, "My lord, I think this matter is really a bit strange, this place of Longmen Grottoes must be the key to solving the case!" ”
Master Liu shook his head when he heard this, and said that he would go home: "What you said is good, but we have been investigating for half a day, but we have not found any clues. Now that the sun is turning west, in my opinion, it is better for us to go back first and think about other clues. ”
After that, Master Liu looked up at Pei Heng and Cui Yun again: "What do you think of the two adults?" ”
Pei Heng held a pair of hands behind his back, and after a moment of silence, he agreed with Master Liu's proposal.
"It's strange here, but I don't think I can find anything today. Let's go back for the time being and see if there are any other clues. Otherwise, it's just dry and wasted here, and it's useless. Pei Heng said and sighed again.
Xie Yu still wanted to stay here and continue to investigate the case, but as soon as she raised her eyes and saw Pei Heng's frowning appearance, she swallowed her thoughts back.
It's better than spending all the time here and getting nothing.
Thinking of this, Xie Yu also nodded, and said, "In this case, then your lords will please, we will go back to the mansion immediately, and maybe we can find something earlier." ”
There was no objection, and everyone did not delay, and immediately got on the horse and set off, heading back to the government of Luoyang Mansion.
On the way back, everyone was not idle, talking about the case all the way, discussing with each other to see if there was anything new missing.
Just as everyone was talking about the key to this matter, the horse that Cui Yun sat on was suddenly frightened for no reason, and let out a long roar, and was about to throw Cui Yun off the horse.
"Ah, evil beast!" Cui Yun clutched the reins tightly and couldn't help but scold the startled horse as he sat down.
However, immediately after that, the horse's back was reversed, and Cui Yun made a mistake and fell off the horse. Unfortunately, under him, there is a big stone with clear water chestnut horns!
"Lord Prefect!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Lady Cui!"
The incident happened suddenly, and before everyone could react, they had already seen that Cui Yun was about to fall from the horse. Seeing that the tragedy happened, Wang Xiang'er, who was sitting next to the carriage and was closest to Cui Yun, suddenly jumped out of the car and threw herself at Cui Yun's body.
"Ahh
There was another scream, and when everyone came back to their senses, they saw that Wang Xiang'er and Cui Yun had already fallen to the ground and rolled into a ball.
"Lady Cui!"
The crowd hurried around to check if the two men were hurt. Fortunately, Wang Xiang'er only had some abrasions on her body, and Cui Yun was not seriously injured, she only fell hard, and her legs and feet were a little uncomfortable.
"Fortunately, everyone is fine, Wang Xiang'er really thank you." Xie Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Xiang'er in some shock.
"Ziyi is still in the carriage now, let's go back to the government for treatment first." After Pei Heng checked Cui Yun's injuries, he commanded, "Master Liu, let's drive back with Master Cui first, and I'll take a slow step later." ”
"Okay, thank you so much, sir."
Master Liu and Cui Yun didn't talk nonsense, they got into the carriage and drove straight away. And Xie Yu and the others, who were one step behind, also dismounted and walked slowly.
"Girl, forgive me for talking too much, I just saw that you rescued Master Cui, and a scar the size of a bowl was revealed on your arm, but what's the matter?" Xie Yu walked beside Wang Xiang'er and said curiously.
"This wound was after my father sold me to the rich merchant. Not only did he torture me, but he also branded me. After escaping from that man's hands, he personally stripped off this brand as a complete break with that man! Wang Xiang'er bit her lower lip as she said this. Apparently very impressed by this.
When Xie Yu heard this, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, but comforted her a few more words.
The three of them walked towards the return journey in this way, but they accidentally found a temple that they had not noticed when they came. It happened that they had walked a lot and felt tired under their feet, so the three of them decided to take a short rest here.
