Chapter 50: Jingtan Temple 1
The weather in the early summer morning is cool and warm. Under the blue sky and white clouds, in the tree-lined courtyard of Qinfu, people are busy. Some people are leading horses and preparing carts, some people are carrying the tributes needed to worship the Buddha, and some are purchasing people's food and drink.
Quiet and get up early. After freshening up, having a little breakfast, I came to the courtyard.
Qin An was directing the servants to load the car. Seeing the quietness, he hurriedly saluted: "Good morning, Madame Princess!" Quietly smiled and said, "Brother An doesn't have to be polite!" What's in it? Qin An looked at the car and said: "This is a donation to Jingtan Temple, Qin Mansion is their biggest benefactor, and they have to send food and monk's clothes to the temple once a year." ”
Quiet nodded. When they got out, they got into a carriage together. Then Qian'er sat in a small sedan chair and followed behind. Qin Yisheng rode a white horse with a saber hanging from his waist, and was escorted by several young and strong domestic servants. Qin Yisheng, that is, Murong Chao, was in a complicated mood. He could not disobey the orders of the suzerain. But he really didn't want to hurt this girl.
He rarely went home. Every time he comes back, this little girl is the best for him. Not to mention serving tea and water, he is still the only person in the house who doesn't play with him.
He knew that the people in the mansion, including the third lady who almost became his wife, had a special mission. And quiet, but she is a very simple girl. She and his so-called younger brother, childhood sweethearts, have no guesses. It's very respectful to him.
To get to the small fragrant mountain where the Jingtan Temple is located, you need to walk for most of the day. Depart from Qinfu and head north. Along the way, village and town stores gradually became scarce. As far as the eye can see, there are patches of green fields and woods.
The team walked unhurriedly for most of the day. And I saw the rolling hills. The mountains are dark green. Dotted with temples with yellow walls and tiles. "The Pure Temple is coming!" Qin An wiped the sweat on his head and said.
"Brother An, let's go to the carriage and rest!" Silence poked its head out of the carriage. "Thank you, Princess, it's coming soon, no need!" Qin An smiled. "Let him ride a donkey, who can he blame?" Qin Yisheng said with a smile.
"The donkey's feet are not as fast as mine! What am I riding that shit for! Qin An tilted his head proudly. You're a donkey! Die! Qin Yisheng teased.
The abbot of Jingtan Temple led the monks of the whole temple to greet them outside the mountain gate. The abbot was an old monk with a white beard. Big black and red face, burly figure. "Poor monk Zhiyun, welcome the prince, the princess comes to the small temple!"
Quiet and if you get out of the car, give the old abbot a salute. The abbot led the people into the monastery.
This is a temple on a grand scale. Various Buddhist halls are next to each other. Pilgrims also come and go, in an endless stream. The monks began to perform incense ceremonies in the Mahavira Hall. Hundreds of monks lined up on either side. The bells, drums, wooden fish, and the Sanskrit sound burst.
Ruoli first stepped forward to twist incense and pray, silently wishing. Afterwards, Tranquility also went up to pray incense. Qin Yisheng was at the door, nervously watching the situation inside.
Until the end of the ceremony, nothing unexpected happened. Yi Chang breathed a sigh of relief.
The monk led Ruoli and his party to the guest room to rest. Quiet followed Qian'er to the inner room.
"Qian'er, why is your body so fragrant?" Quiet asked. Qian'er smiled and said, "This is the incense that my eldest brother bought for me, and with that incense bed, there will be no poisonous snakes and reptiles." Quietly smiled, "Big brother loves you more than old man!" ”
Qian'er said thoughtfully: "Yes! I just think that sometimes my eldest brother looks at me strangely! Quiet stroked her long hair, "You're too careful!" ”
"All the things I need, all the things I need are purchased for me by my eldest brother, and he is more careful than my father." Qian'er said affectionately.
"The eldest brother is a father, isn't he good to me?" Quiet said with a smile.
As the two were talking, a little novice knocked on the knocker outside the door, "Female donor, do you want to use some vegetarian food?" Silence let him in.
After eating, I felt groggy and fell asleep on the couch quietly. Wait for her to open her eyes again. Found black rumbling all around. "Qian'er!" She shouted, but no one answered. She tried to sit up, but her hands and feet were tied.
Just as she was panicking, her eyes lit up. She was strapped to a couch in a secret room.
A man dressed in a black robe and covered with a black veil stood in front of her. "Princess Rui, what an offense!"
"Who are you? Let me go! "Shout quietly.
"Don't make any noise, it's useless for you to shout! I just wanted to ask for something! The man lowered his voice.
"What's the matter?" Quiet asked.
"Do you know Blackwater?" The man asked her.
"What Blackwater? Don't know that place! Quiet chuckled in his heart, but he still pretended to be nothing.
"Blackwater City is not a place name, it's an organization!" The man explained. "I don't know what organization!" Quiet said.
"We know that this organization is related to the people of the Rui Palace!" The man said.
"So what? A few days after I arrived at the Rui Palace, the palace was burned! I don't know anything! Quietly closed her eyes and ignored him again.
"What can you know about nothing? We know that very well! Ruiwang is just an ornament, a waste snack! is the helmsman of the palace! He was very angry.
"I don't know if I don't know!" Quiet doesn't want to listen to him anymore. "If you don't say it, don't want to see your King Rui in this life!" He was a little angry.
"You're threatening me? Or is it really? "Quietly open your eyes." Of course it's true! He snapped.
"Kill me?" Quiet asked.
The man sneered and said, "I won't kill you, but I'll take you to a place where no one can find you!" ”
Quietly looked at him contemptuously, "You're a shameless person!" What kind of ability is it to bully a woman! ”
"It's useless to scold me, I'm also acting on orders! Just say, where is Blackwater City now? I said that I will let you go. Otherwise, you will wait to die alone! He said viciously.
A dangling sword rested on his shoulder. "Dizi No. 1, you have too much nonsense!"
He was frightened and did not dare to move. "Who? Don't hide behind and plot against people! The sword spun around, and the man was in front of the man in black, and there was a bloody cut on the neck of the man in black. The wound was shallow, but it hurt so much that he bared his teeth.
"You're a human too? Tie up a woman here and threaten to lure! I want to wipe you with a sword! He said coldly. That person was also dressed in black, with a black veil and a mask!
"You dare! Do you know who I am? "The man recognized the mark on his clothes, and it was a fellow traveler!" Aren't you the number one in the ground, Hussar General Murong Huang! He had a dismissive tone!
"A great general has also done the business of robbing houses and houses! I think that Northern Qi, like Wei, is about to play eggs! He said hatefully.
"Who the hell are you?" Murong Huang asked in astonishment. "It doesn't matter who I am! The important thing is, you fuck me off! The man's voice was hoarse, but there was majesty in his words!
"You're not afraid that the sect will kill you!" Murong Huang threatened him. "What brown pig, black pig's? I'm not afraid! He quipped.
"You dare to insult the sect master! It's impatient to live! Murong shook his head and lowered his head, and five poisonous needles flew out from his back, stabbing straight at the door of the black-clothed man.
The man in black rolled up his unhurried sleeves and collected three at once. Knock out two. "He is worthy of being a master of hidden weapons known as poisonous bees, and his speed is fast enough! Pay you back! He flicked his sleeve, and Murong Huang hurriedly dodged. But no needles flew out.
"You bastard!" He cursed. Suddenly, his face turned pale. Three needles have been nailed to the shoulders and the tip of his nose!
He pulled out the silver needle, took out the antidote, and took it. After a while, his mouth was foaming with blood. The antidote bottle was pierced with two poisonous needles! Murong Huang was shocked: "Who are you?" The man sneered, "You're still so curious when you're dying!" Tell you about it! I'm Tianzi No. 1! Well, you can shut your eyes and shut up! ”
Murong Huang fell straight down, and he shouted: "Sect Master! Avenge me! ”
When he saw a dark shadow flashing, he smiled and closed his eyes.
"Murong Chao! You executioner! Why kill him! Another man in black rushed in with murderous aura.
"I didn't kill him, did I? He took poison himself and wanted to blame others. Don't believe you, ask Princess Rui! Murong Chao quibbled.
"Nonsense, what kind of poison should you take well? Which one is the one to marry? "The people in black are in a hurry!
"I don't know! Why don't you call him up and ask him? Murong Chao laughed.
"You're a scoundrel! I'm going to kill you today! The man in black drew a short sword and stabbed it straight at him.
Murong Chao flashed unhurriedly, gently touched the back of the man in black, and said, "Let go!" And the sword fell to the ground.
"Holy Eagle, you don't know martial arts, what are you doing with a sword?" He grabbed the man in black who almost fell.
"I can't take revenge, you can kill me too!" Holy Eagle said.
"It's really a master-apprentice relationship! Impressed, very impressed! "Murong Chao pulled off the black veil of the Holy Eagle! The silence tied to the side, I was surprised to see a face, it was a beautiful and intoxicating face!
Fair-skinned and pink melon seed face, two willow eyebrows. Under the long eyelashes, a pair of big eyes shine with a seductive blue light! "Bastard, you dare to look at me! The Sect Master will kill you! ”
Murong Chao sneered and said, "I can watch whoever I like!" You can show that bad old man, but you can't let me see it! I don't just look at it, I have to move my hands and feet! ”
The Holy Eagle tried to dodge, but he was powerless. "Assistant, what kind of ability are you bullying a girl!" Quiet yelled. Murong Chao was stunned, turned around and said, "An, princess, I'm just joking with her, don't be angry!" ”
"You let me go! I'm going back! Quiet said.
Murong Chao hesitated for a moment and reached out to untie the rope. "King of the Three Mountains! You're getting bolder! "Another man in black has come to the secret room." Suzerain! Murong Chao took a few steps back.
"You're very good at infighting, and you can't do the right thing! I can scrap you now! The sect master said.
"I call you the Sect Master, I respect you for being my master! After all, you're just a dog of my father's king! Murong Chao said with a sneer.
"Sect Master, you kill him! Avenge Murong Huang! The Holy Eagle cried. Holy Eagle, don't worry, I have a way to cure him! The sect master said calmly.
