Chapter 22: The Nale

The idiot came out of the vegetable patch, washed his hands in the nearby well, and the three of them gathered under a huge locust tree.

The round idiot took the wine jar and sniffed it, "Ten years of bamboo leaves." ”

Shen Lingjun raised his thumb, "The nose of the great monk is even more powerful than that of Ah Wang." ”

"You girl, no matter how long you haven't seen you, you're still so sharp-tongued, be careful that you can't get married," the idiot happily opened the wine jar and asked Su Musha on the other side, "How is your master?" ”

"He often says that you are still one altar of eighteen immortals for him," because of the friendship between the old monk and the sword saint, Su Musha has a lot of respect for the round idiot monk.

"Hahahaha~" The round idiot laughed even more happily, and even the meat on his stomach shook away.

Shen Lingjun had no taboos, and when he saw him take a sip, he showed a satisfied expression, leaned over, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, right?" ”

The round idiot glanced at the two of them, "Why are you here together?" The old monk knows that the wine is not so good, and you two children suddenly look for me, what's the matter? ”

Su Musha asked directly: "Does the master remember mentioning to my master about the Gu poison in the Western Regions?" ”

The round idiot touched his chin and looked at the sky, thinking for a while, "Oh, this...... How did you remember to ask this? ”

"There are cases that have something to do with Gu poison," Su Musha explained simply.

The idiot was puzzled, "This investigation is not Shen Yatou's business, why are you also involved?" ”

This has to be explained, not to mention a few hours, Shen Lingjun impatiently urged: "You don't care about this, hurry up and talk about the Western Regions Gu poison." ”

The round idiot scratched his head, "This ......"

Shen Lingjun snatched the wine jar and wrinkled his nose, "Otherwise, I won't give it to you!" ”

"Oops...... I said you girl, this is like your father, why don't you have any patience," the circle was anxious.

Shen Lingjun blinked, "How do you know my father?" ”

The round idiot took advantage of her inattention, took back the wine jar, took a sip with satisfaction, smacked his lips, and then said casually: "He and Xiaofeng came to drink or something together, and they met." ”

"Huh?" Shen Lingjun was surprised, and Su Musha was also surprised, "They are so familiar?" ”

The round idiot waved his hand, "Didn't you ask about the Western Regions, I remembered, it's like this." ”

Su Musha and Shen Ling both looked at each other, and the old monk obviously didn't want to say anything.

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha came to find the monk of Guanghua Temple, laughed a few words, the great monk remembered something, and the two of them listened to the great monk quietly.

"In fact, Gu poison is not so easy to cultivate, I heard that the person who raises Gu has to feed his body with blood, and if the Gu poison sucks the blood of the master, it will become the person's property, and whoever the master asks it to attack, it will attack whomever it wants. It's just that the Gu poison itself is some poisonous insects, so it is not so easy to raise Gu poisons, and ordinary people die early if they are bitten. ”

Speaking of this, the round idiot took a sip of wine, "There is a place in the Western Regions called the Nale tribe, their ancestors are poison breeders, and their blood is born to restrain poisons, so they are also the only Gu cultivators there. ”

Su Musha understood, "Later, in order to strengthen the ethnic group, they used Gu poison to control other nomadic tribes, and wanted to rule the entire region of the Western Regions. ”

The round idiot nodded, "Well, later, several countries in the Western Regions found out that something was wrong, and after discussing it, they decided to annihilate the Nale tribe. ”

Shen Lingjun asked, "Then they didn't think about using this ability of the Nale clan to dominate the Western Regions and then attack the Central Plains or something?" ”

The idiot laughed and shook his head: "I also said just now, it was eliminated by several countries working together, and people will intrigue and deceive each other, not to mention countries and countries." Everyone thinks so, and they are afraid that the other party will take the lead, so they decide to simply destroy it. ”

Shen Lingjun can understand that if he can't get it, he definitely doesn't want the enemy to get it, so it's better to destroy it.

"Are the Nales powerful? You have to join forces to destroy it," Su Musha frowned.

The Yuan idiot took a sip of the wine in the jar and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, the Nale tribe itself is nothing special except that the ancestors took a little more medicine so that the descendants are not easy to be poisoned, mainly those who are controlled, they are not only obedient and amazing in combat after being poisoned, but also, they will keep attacking, unless they die." ”

Shen Lingjun folded his hands on his knees, propped his head, and said curiously: "That Gu poison is really so powerful, will anyone raise it later?" ”

The round idiot shook his head, "I can't know, maybe there are fish that have slipped through the net, but after so many years, I haven't talked about it again, and the Nale tribe has disappeared since then." ”

Su Musha asked again: "There should be more than one kind of Gu poison, in addition to controlling people, it can also kill people, right?" ”

At this time, the idiot had finished drinking a jar of wine, stood up, patted off the dirt on the monk's robe, and looked like a monk, and made a joke, saying: "There are thousands of kinds of Gu, poison can harm people and save people, a thought becomes a Buddha and a thought becomes a demon, everything has spirituality, good and evil are all in the heart, Amitabha." ”

At the end, the round idiot clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name. That means, I've said it.

The round idiot strode into the vegetable field, didn't take a few steps, and as if he remembered something, he turned back to the two and said, "Next time, ask Xiaofeng to bring a few more jars, it's not enough to drink." ”

Shen Lingjun looked at the fat monk's fat back, squinted his eyes, and hugged his arms and said: "The gods are chattering, I always feel that he has something to hide and don't want to say," he said, poking Su Musha, "Eh, do you say that everyone who is a monk likes to pretend to be deep, and halfway through the words, he will say Zen words, and others will be dizzy." ”

Su Mu smiled, and at the same time felt deeply, the great monk did have some secrets, not the case is important at the moment, "It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the Western Regions." ”

"Well," Shen Lingjun and Su Musha walked side by side on the back mountain path, "Those few families have all sent envoys over, and if you keep an eye on them, you should find out." ”

The wind blows the path, and the small wildflowers are bent over the ground, and a large piece of them are spliced together in one place, which is very pleasing to the eye and refreshing.

Shen Lingjun sighed, "No wonder the great monk likes to hide in the vegetable field, it is indeed a leisurely feeling." ”

"Then you should like Yuxiao Peak," Su Mu's long inky black hair brushed his ears in the wind, caressing his cheeks, "It's also a very quiet and comfortable place. ”

Shen Lingjun imagined that Su Musha and his master were very bored when they looked at it, and they didn't know how they got along on weekdays, so he said with a smile: "I really want to go and see it." ”

Su Musha looked into her eyes, "There is a chance to take you there." ”

Shen Lingjun's big eyes bent into crescents, "Okay." ”

The temple is built very high, out of the gate to look around, the eyes are vast, the white clouds and green mountains in the distance, the emerald green pine branches climb all over the hillside, the breeze is outdated, it leads to waves of ups and downs, it is very beautiful.

His vision widened, and Shen Lingjun realized that there were many temples near and far. The first emperor worshiped Buddha, and many temples were built in modern times, so they look very new. There are also many kinds, there are Guanyin Temple, about the Emperor Temple, there are those who send their children to Niangniang, and there are also those of Emperor Manjushri Wu......

"Worship one by one, and you will definitely not be able to finish worshipping for a month," Shen Lingjun sighed.

Su Musha looked at one place and didn't move, and Shen Lingjun also looked over, "Hey, it seems to be different from other places over there." ”

Su Musha nodded, "Well, there are a lot of officers and soldiers stationed. ”

Shen Lingjun beckoned and asked the little monk who was sweeping the floor on the side, "Little master, what is the place over there?" ”

The monk folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, then raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, that is a nunnery, called Baiyun Temple, don't mess in, that's not an ordinary nunnery." ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, "Is there anything special?" ”

The little monk was embarrassed and said implicitly: "It is a royal nunnery, which is specially designed to accommodate some special people, such as concubines who are not suitable to stay in the harem and have not made mistakes." ”

Shen Lingjun understands that it is some royal unspeakable stories. The two were not interested in the royal family, so they didn't inquire anymore.

The two said goodbye to the sweeping monk and slowly paced down the steps, still lingering with the smell of burning incense in the temple between their mouths and noses.

"Where?" Su curtain untied the leash of the horse.

Shen Lingjun thought for a moment, "Let's take a look at what secrets that Hou Yan is hiding." ”

Su Musha nodded, and the two rode slowly into the forest.

It was close to noon, and June's eyes were a little dazzling and scorching, but the mountains and forests were covered by thick foliage for most of the day, and only the mottled light that fell intermittently seemed to fluoresce on people. The wind blows the leaves, bringing coolness and falling leaves all over the ground.

Shen Lingjun raised his head and closed his eyes, letting the wind blow across his cheeks, "It's so comfortable." ”

Su Musha looked at Shen Lingjun who was on a black horse in red next to him, he always felt that Shen Lingjun was like a little witch who was trapped in freedom, so he liked to provoke himself so much, and gave a little passion to a boring and ordinary life?

Su Musha, who had never been curious about anything, couldn't help but ask at this moment: "Why are you an official?" ”

Shen Lingjun opened his eyes, propped his right elbow on his left arm and touched his chin, and it took a long time before he slowly spit out two words, "Pay the debt." ”

After speaking, the two of them fell silent.

Su Musha didn't speak because he was waiting for the other party to speak, and Shen Lingjun seemed to fall into a memory all of a sudden.

For a moment, all that remained was the sound of the wind blowing through the woods, and the rustle of horses' hooves on thick piles of fallen leaves.

"You've heard the name Pan Renmei," Shen Lingjun suddenly said after a period of silence.

Su Musha was a little surprised why Shen Lingjun mentioned this name, but he still nodded, "The famous traitor of the previous dynasty defected to the enemy and treasoned, buried 200,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and also killed the famous general Su Yuzheng. ”

Shen Lingjun said coldly: "A person like him, even if he is cut by a thousand cuts, he will be cheaper." ”

Su Mu was puzzled, "What does he have to do with you?" "It's because he killed Shen Lingjun's relatives that he hates it so much, but what's going on with paying off the debt.

Shen Lingjun let out a long sigh, "You also guessed my identity." ”
