Chapter 129: Seeing is believing
It is said that as soon as the heart dispelling Taoist opened the door of the dark room, he was held by an unknown man in black with a sword against his neck.
However, the man did not seem to want to take his life immediately, so he was visibly hesitant to do so.
Seeing this, the Mind Dispelling Daoist should take advantage of his unpreparedness and flee from his sword. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man chased after him.
When they were young, Liu Ruotian and Mei Jiaxing, who had escaped safely, came to the dark room and rescued Murong Yuping smoothly.
There is no doubt that the person who guided the two here was the mysterious man from earlier, and it was also the same person who secretly shut down all the information about the organs in the brick tower.
And to the puzzlement of the Mind Removal Daoist, the man is even more familiar with this tower than himself, what is going on?
This pagoda was originally a pagoda for monks to live in, and was built in the early years of the Sui Dynasty. There are many precious scriptures and Buddha statues hidden in the tower, and there are very exquisite murals carved on the tower wall. The monks eat fast and recite the Buddha here, and they don't ask about the world, but they also live a peaceful and comfortable life.
But the good times didn't last long, and the once-prosperous Great Sui Dynasty was like a bright meteor that crossed the night sky at great speed, although it was dazzling but also came and went in a hurry. As a result, the people of the world, who had just been able to enjoy peace, were once again plunged into boundless war, and even the pure places of Buddhism such as this one were not spared.
Originally, this tower had as many as 13 floors, but due to the frequent wars of the change of dynasties, it was once destroyed, so that the four floors on the top of the tower were burned out beyond recognition.
Later, the Tang Dynasty was established, and the world returned to peace. Tang Taizong Li Shimin respected the Buddha and couldn't bear to see it so abandoned, so he ordered a special person to renovate the tower in the tenth year of Zhenguan, and tried to find the monks who lived here.
However, somehow, the brick tower, which was supposed to be restored to its original appearance as much as possible, turned out to be only nine floors. It is unknown why the most important four floors were not repaired, and it will probably remain a permanent mystery.
And there is more to the mystery of this tower than this, who made the strange couplets on both sides of the tower's gate? What is the name of this tower? Is the last Zen master in this tower dead or alive? Did he leave any warning for future generations before leaving?
There are many opinions about the name of this tower. Some people say that this tower is called "Seeking Fate Tower", some people say that it is called "Desperate Tower", and some people even say that it is called "Asking Willow Tower".
However, this is just a false statement in the world, and the credibility is not high, how can a stupa dedicated to monks be called such a name? Perhaps, the tower was originally like today, and it had no name at all.
A few years later, Tang Taizong drove west. The tower was abandoned and no one has been around since.
It can be seen that the monks were not found one by one, otherwise this place would not be what it is today.
Just decades after this tower was deserted, the wandering people of the heart dispelled came here.
What is very puzzling is that the Taoists who have always been more picky are very interested in this kind of Buddhist architecture. In the end, he simply settled here.
However, after the heart dispelling Taoist arrived, he did not renovate or even carry it forward, but turned this place from the original pure place of Buddhism into an invisible demon cave.
In other words, the deadly messages in the brick tower were all set up after the Mind Dispelling Daoist came here.
Nowadays, there are very few people who know about the existence of this tower, and only a handful of people are familiar with the structure inside the tower. How could there be a problem in such a secret place, the people of the Heart Dispel Dao are puzzled.
On the other hand, Liu Ruotian and Mei Jiaxing had already taken Murong Yuping away from the ground, preparing to find another place to live.
What is surprising is that Murong Yuping, who has always been very resistant to the two before, is extremely amiable and cooperative this time. After all, the two of them almost died in order to save her from the predicament, although Murong Yuping was a little cross-sectional, but she was not indistinguishable from the bad.
Because Murong Yuping was very weak at the moment and urgently needed treatment and rest, the three of them did not dare to hesitate after leaving the tower, and even escorted them to the dustless inn to recuperate.
What they didn't expect was that the dustless inn was already full of murderous opportunities at this moment, and a big war was about to break out.
However, at this moment, Liu Ruotian has no time to take care of anything else. After he had settled everyone down, he was in a hurry to leave the Dustless Inn.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Ruotian, who was restless, hurriedly ran outside the gate of the dustless inn, he collided with the oncoming love without regrets.
Just as Liu Ruotian was about to scold that person, he found that the person who came knew him.
In the early years, Liu Ruotian and Ai Wuregret were good partners who talked about everything. Later, as they grew up, they had their own affairs, and they became less and less connected to each other.
This time, Liu Ruotian secretly returned to Chang'an City, and all the expenses during this period were secretly helped by Love Without Regrets. Otherwise, with Liu Ruotian's crazy and noisy personality who doesn't want to be restrained, it is impossible to stay in one place for too long.
I said how Liu Ruotian spent money lately, he looked very bold, it turned out that he fell in love without regrets, and seemed to have perfectly inherited his father's character of "being kind and giving", but in fact he was a person who wanted to save face and suffer crimes.
It is said that Love Without Regrets is a few years older than Liu Ruotian, and his experience and talent are even higher than Liu Ruotian, but he was fooled by Liu Ruotian.
And the reason why Ai Wuregret is willing to help Liu Ruotian repeatedly is not only because Liu Ruotian is clever and often compliments and flatters him, so as to obtain greater benefits from him. The more important reason is that the two of them have been friends since childhood, and the depth of their relationship is far from being comparable to others.
Who hasn't had a friend like this since they were a child? As soon as we meet on weekdays, they start to taunt each other, and I want to scold you to the end. But once it's time to get serious, it's still this person you can rely on.
The person who scolds you the most loves you the most, the person who loves you the most hurts you the most, and the feelings in the world are so complicated that they are a headache.
"Yo! Ah Wu, you sneaky thing, what are you going to do? If you go to jail again, I'm not responsible for delivering food!" ”
Liu Ruotian saw that he was in love and had no regrets and suddenly came here, so he turned his anger into joy, and then stepped forward and hooked up with him.
"Go, go, play, I don't have time to accompany you now!" With that, Ai Wuregret hurriedly walked towards the door of the Dustless Inn.
Seeing that Ai Wuregret was about to enter the inn, Liu Ruotian grabbed him and said to him in a weird manner: "Look at your sweat, why are you in a hurry, hurry to reincarnate!" Isn't this man in there? Can you still fly with wings? ”
When Ai Wuregret heard this, he was full of doubts, could it be that Liu Ruotian knew why he came?
When he was young, Liu Ruotian patted Ai Wuregret's shoulder and said, "Can you hide it from me with your little fancy intestines?" Mei Jiaxing told me a long time ago, you like that woman named Zhang Qianxiao. It's the one who smiled very gently, and didn't bow his head when he saw this scene. Give up everything for her, but people won't let go......"
"Enough, no more!" Love, who has always been good-natured, has no regrets, and seems to be a little angry after hearing this.
I thought: "Good Mei Jiaxing, I know that as long as everything reaches his ears, it will not be good!" Don't let me see you again, or I'll blame my men for being ruthless! ”
Just when Ai had no regrets and wanted to go inside to look for Zhang Qianxiao, he was dragged by Liu Ruotian to a single room in the inn, saying that he wanted to catch up with him.
However, at this time, Ai Wuregret was no longer interested in this, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to Liu Ruotian. Because his beloved Zhang Qianxiao is already in danger at the moment, if he can't find Zhang Qianxiao in time if he has no regrets, he is afraid that she will be harmed.
Liu Ruotian on the side saw that his love was absent-minded, so he said to him confidently: "Don't worry, I have already asked Yang Yiwen and others to keep an eye on it." As soon as something happens, he'll come here and tell you about me. If that guy really dares to be unfavorable to Miss Zhang, a few of us can drown him with a mouthful of foam! ”
It turned out that it was the idle Zhu Yulai who was causing trouble.
On that day, Ai Wuregret, who was just a little free, wanted to take the initiative to find her because she missed Zhang Qianxiao.
Unexpectedly, the expectant Love Wuregret just walked to the alley, but found that Zhang Qianxiao was supporting a blind man, who was Zhang Tianyi, who had lived here for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Love has no regrets and can't help but feel jealous. The heart said, no wonder Xiaoxiao has been ignoring me lately, it turns out that there is a third party living here!
Sometimes being too beautiful is not necessarily a good thing. Originally, there was a Zhang Tianyi in the middle, which was enough to give Ai Wuregret a headache. I didn't want to think that at this moment, the famous womanizer Zhu Yulai actually stared at Zhang Qianxiao again.
Zhu Yu came to his people, was domineering, tyrannical, and wanton, relying on himself to be Zhu Jingqi's righteous son, he could be unscrupulous and had no one in his eyes.
If Zhang Qianxiao and Zhang Tianyi are not clear and can still sit idly by, then Zhu Yulai has to be guarded, because he is ten times more terrifying than Zhang Tianyi, who is already blind. If this matter continues, Zhang Qianxiao's situation can be imagined.
Sure enough, since Zhu Yu, who didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, came to see Zhang Qianxiao, even if he was fascinated by her, and then launched a crazy pursuit of her, Zhang Qianxiao was disdainful of this.
Seeing that Zhang Qianxiao was unmoved, Zhu Yulai started to think crookedly, so that he did not hesitate to follow Zhang Qianxiao repeatedly, intending to do misdeeds against him.
Fortunately, Ai Wuregret learned about it in time, and secretly sent someone to protect Zhang Qianxiao, so Zhu Yulai didn't succeed.
However, even so, Zhu Yulai is still a thief. Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Zhu Yulai, who was full of courage, secretly followed Zhang Qian, who went out to buy vegetables, and laughed here.
The panicked Zhang Qianxiao saw that he had nowhere to go, so he could only temporarily hide in the dustless inn on the side.
Then, Zhu Yulai also arrived here and walked in after him.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Ai Wuregret actually followed them secretly to the gate of the Dustless Inn.
The anxious Love Without Regrets saw the two walking in one after the other, and couldn't wait to catch up and find out.
But he didn't want to go too hastily, so that he had no regrets about Zhang Qianxiao's love, and he didn't see Liu Ruotian running out of the gate at all, so he collided with him.
Just when the two thought that they were okay with each other and started to talk freely, Yang Yiwen suddenly ran over.
Seeing this, the two suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, according to Yang Yiwen, Zhang Qianxiao, who was in another room at the moment, actually coughed up blood.
And Zhu Yulai, who had been pestering him before, saw this situation, and even if he left the dustless inn, he left Zhang Qianxiao alone and ignored it.
Hearing this, Ai Wuregret rushed out even with an arrow step, and then he was led by Yang Yiwen to Zhang Qianxiao's room.
However, to the surprise of the three of them, the house was empty at this time, and Zhang Qianxiao had long since disappeared.
Why did Zhang Qianxiao, who was in good health, suddenly cough up blood? Why did Zhu Yulai, who was about to succeed, leave suddenly?
