Chapter 24: The View of White Clouds
The sudden movement alarmed Su Musha and Shen Lingjun. They followed the direction from which the voice came, and walked around a forest, and saw a woman dressed as a nun sitting in the clearing in front of them.
The other party is about fifty years old, and there are blood stains on the place where he is holding his hand, his face is covered with sweat, and there is blood at the corner of his mouth.
Shen Lingjun jumped off the horse, ran over, and said with concern: "This master, are you okay?" ”
The old nun on the ground gasped twice, and when he looked up, he saw a young girl in sight, raised her sleeve and wiped her sweat, and her voice was a little weak, "No...... It's okay, I was bitten by a snake just now," she said, gasping a few more times and reaching behind her back to get something.
Su Musha also walked over, he saw a basket behind the nun, in which some herbs were picked, no wonder she was bitten by a snake and could be so calm, it seemed that she had some pharmacological common sense.
Shen Lingjun stood up, carried a basket for her and put it in front, "What do you want, I'll help you get it." ”
The old nun seemed to run out of strength, nodded, and panted with her back against the tree, "Trouble girl...... There is a heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine in it, I just sucked out all the poisonous blood, and it will be fine to apply some herbs. ”
Shen Lingjun scratched her face and was embarrassed, she looked at these grasses all looking the same, which one was pinching?
Without waiting for her to ask, Su Musha squatted down, picked one out of it, and handed it over, "Crush it with internal force." ”
Shen Lingjun did so, and then helped the nun apply the herbs, "It seems that you can't walk for a while, let's send you back, what do you call Mrs. Shi?" ”
"Thank you, girl," the old nun's face turned pale in pain, but she didn't know if she was too able to endure hardships, or the innate kind of transcendent elegance, at this time she was still as calm as usual, "Poor nun Huijing, I live in Baiyunguan not far away, I just rest here for a while, don't trouble the two." ”
Shen Lingjun waved his hand and said very enthusiastically: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, anyway, it's a good way." ”
Where to stop by the way, it is clear that the distance is the opposite.
Su Musha didn't know if Shen Lingjun was curious about the Baiyun Temple, or if he was too enthusiastic.
Hui Jing hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Then it's troublesome for the two of you." ”
Shen Lingjun hugged Huijing and rode to Hui Feng, at first Hui Feng shook it awkwardly, Shen Lingjun warned it not to want it if it played tricks again! Hui Feng flicked his tail, hung his head and shook it, indicating that he reluctantly agreed to that for once.
Shen Lingjun led Hui Feng and walked in front, and Su Musha also walked side by side with her.
Baiyun Temple is not far away, it didn't take long to arrive, the officers and soldiers at the door checked a few words, and Huijing helped explain, and they didn't embarrass the two. When a little nun saw Shen Lingjun helping Huijing, she hurriedly ran over and helped her to the meditation room.
Shen Lingjun looked around, the Baiyun Temple is not big, the front hall is dedicated to a person-high Guanyin, there are no good men and women here to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the fireworks are naturally not as many as those in Guanghua Temple. In the back is the house, which looks like five or six rooms with black tiles and white walls.
It's just that unlike other places, every entrance and exit is guarded.
Shen Lingjun walked around and pouted, "It's like being in prison, I'm not free." ”
Su Musha sat on the stone bench under the Bodhi tree in the courtyard, and a little nun brought tea and was sipping tea with a cup, when she saw Shen Lingjun coming back with great joy and helped her pour a cup.
After working for most of the day, he was really thirsty, Shen Lingjun drank it in one go, smacking his tongue, "It's not bad, what kind of tea." ”
Su Musha added to her again, "The sun casts snow buds." ”
This time, Shen Lingjun didn't drink it, and after taking a sip, he felt that it was very fresh and refreshing, and he couldn't drink it, but he still knew the name, "Yo, it's still tribute tea, it's really rare, and the big guys come over on weekdays to go clubbing." ”
Su Musha smiled lightly, "Probably grateful to you for saving people." ”
Shen Lingjun swept his eyes, and saw a few little nuns who were not in a good mood running by, their cheeks were red, and they reached out to pinch Su Mu's face, "I think someone is showing off their amorous feelings, and I don't know it!" ”
Su Mu covered his forehead, "Don't use idioms indiscriminately." ”
Shen Lingjun let go of his hand, and just when someone came over, he clasped his hands and said: "In Xia Huining, thank you two for sending Senior Sister Huijing back, if you don't dislike it, let's have dinner in this temple." ”
"You're welcome, drop by," Shen Lingjun looked at the person in front of him, who was about the same age as Hui Jing, and considered whether to have a meal here.
Su Musha stood up, "We still have some things. ”
Hui Ning didn't insist, and walked away after a few polite sentences.
Shen Lingjun squinted his eyes, "Why refuse," raised his finger to the sun, indicating that it was almost noon, and she was still hungry.
Su Musha said: "You really want to eat at the nunnery?" ”
Shen Lingjun looked at him, that means, why not?
"There's no meat here," Su Musha turned and walked out.
Shen Lingjun ran two steps to keep up, "It's okay to eat a vegetarian occasionally," she looked at Su Musha's face, a little uncomfortable, and smiled: "Are you afraid of nuns?" ”
The corners of Su Mu's mouth moved, and he said for a long time: "No." ”
Shen Lingjun also wanted to tease, a little nun on the side walked over with a lot of things, because it blocked the view, so he didn't see anyone in front of him clearly for a while, but when he found out that it was too late, he exclaimed, "Ah~"
But when she walked over, she was surprised to find that she didn't hit it, and her shoulder was patted, she looked up sluggishly, and a good-looking woman in red held a stick of incense in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Little master, these incense seems to be very exquisite, and there are words engraved on them, which seem to be different from others." ”
The little nun's brain was a little insufficient, and she replied after a slow half-beat: "Ah, this is for sacrificing to the sky," by the way, she sweated for her carelessness, and the master repeatedly told that these incense incense were very important, and there should be no mistakes, she almost fell to the ground just now, thinking about the consequences, she couldn't help but be a little afraid, and lowered her head to express her gratitude to Shen Lingjun, who was holding the thing, "Thank you." ”
Shen Lingjun nodded, seeing that Su Musha was about to walk out of the door, "Pay attention to walking in the future, goodbye," After speaking, put the things in her hand, and the red shadow flashed, and she ran out of the front hall.
The little nun rubbed her eyes, suspecting that she had seen it wrong.
After going down the mountain to find a restaurant for a big meal, the two decided to go to the Hou Mansion to explore. flew directly to the roof of the Hou Mansion with light skills, and ran into Luocheng and Xishi, who were ambushed over there.
Shen Lingjun went over and asked the two, "Is there a situation?" ”
Luo Cheng lowered his voice, "Someone was looking for Hou Yan just now and talking in the room, I found that Hou Yan seems to have a deep kung fu, and he didn't dare to eavesdrop rashly, for fear of startling the snake." ”
"Who is looking for Hou Yan," Su Musha looked down, observing the terrain of the Hou Mansion.
squatting like a monkey during the play, "It's quite familiar, Los Angeles, what's it called?" ”
Luo Cheng rolled his eyes, he was a person who didn't remember anything during the play, "Du Ruo." ”
Shen Lingjun held his sword ring arm with both hands, "It's him...... What to talk to Hou Yanmi, it's good to be able to hear it. ”
Just as he was thinking about going around to the other side to eavesdrop, the door opened, and a man came out, bowed his head and hurried away.
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, and raised their light skills to keep up, their bodies were so fast that ordinary people couldn't see them, and it was more than enough to follow a Du Ruo.
During the play, he held his chin and shook his head, "These two people, their kung fu is not pleasing to the eye." ”
Looking down from above, it is much clearer, Du Ruo is turning around in the alley, obviously going around in circles.
Shen Lingjun felt dizzy, he was too full to eat just now, and he was about to vomit, "Go around again, and I won't do it." ”
As soon as the words landed, Du Ruo got into a quiet alley, and the two of them kept up, one walking against the roof, and the other leaping in the air, at about the same speed.
I didn't finish this time, I went straight to the end, it was a wall, a dead end?
Just when Shen Lingjun and Su Mushi were puzzled, Du Ruo turned his head to look around, then raised his hand and regularly tapped three long and two short.
There was a slight click, and a door appeared in the originally sealed wall, and Du Ruo flashed in.
Shen Lingjun was about to follow, Su Musha pulled her, she turned her head and asked with her eyes, what's wrong?
Su Musha pointed to the back, Shen Lingjun looked over, and saw a person coming in a hurry from the other side, and when he got closer, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes after seeing the person coming, and he said in a low voice: "Jin Maoxing?" ”
The two watched Jin Maoxing enter in the same way, and they were even more sure that this person was not simple.
Shen Lingjun pointed to the reclosed wall, "Try?" ”
Su Musha shook his head, "This is not a pure mechanism, it should be that someone received a password from the outside and was artificially controlled." ”
Shen Lingjun spread her hands, "That means you don't have to follow," she picked up a small stone and put it in her hand.
"Do what?" Su Musha watched as she drew in circles in a corner of the wall.
After Shen Lingjun finished finishing, he threw stones and clapped his hands, "Make a code, turn around and ask Zhao Qi to call two secret guards to come here and guard." ”
The two of them withdrew from the alley, and found that the other side was connected to the main street, and the bustle of the street was in stark contrast to the quiet dark alley behind.
Shen Lingjun held the knife behind his back with both hands, and walked unhurriedly, "It seems that Jin Maoxing and Du Ruo have some secret tricks." ”
Su Musha nodded, "So, the sudden appearance of that thousand-year-old stone is not strange." ”
"You mean this Du Ruo is a ghost?" Shen Lingjun thought for a while, "It stands to reason that people who plot against each other are either in a bad career or in trouble, but Du Ruo took on the position of the commander of the capital at a young age, and he is not wronged, and in a few years, it will not be a problem to be a general, what does he want." ”
Su Musha didn't answer and asked, "What if someone promised him a greater future?" ”
"Well, it can only be explained in this way," Shen Lingjun nodded, "Otherwise, no one would risk being born to do something that might cause chaos, but who can promise him a greater future, but no one is more powerful than the emperor." ”
There were a lot of people on the street, Su Musha and Shen Ling both avoided it, let go of passers-by, and Su Musha replied: "It's very simple, two possibilities." ”
Shen Lingjun was naturally an extremely intelligent person, and immediately reacted, frowning: "No wonder there are so many things, no matter which one it is, it looks very troublesome." ”
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it can be called the peace of the country and the people, and the war has gradually been forgotten by people in the precipitation of the years. But after a long life, there are always some people who are worried about life, such as the old ministers who coveted the glory of the previous dynasty, or the foreigners who coveted the rich Central Plains.
For Shen Lingjun and Su Musha, it makes no difference who is the emperor, as long as that person can bring peace and stability to the country. It's not bad now, so they don't want anyone to provoke a war and once again plunge this land of Shenzhou into a struggle, firelight, and endless struggle for power.
