Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Back Door
Princess Jinyang's hand quietly stretched out from under the wide sleeves of her robe and grabbed the corner of Zhu Luan's clothes.
Zhu Luan turned his head to look at her in some surprise.
"Don't get lost." Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, no one saw it, and Zhu Luan heard Princess Jinyang whisper softly in her ear.
"Hmm." Zhu Luan nodded.
Several palace maids took out a few wooden sticks that were still burning from the burning meditation room behind them to use them as torches, and everyone walked towards the back door of Lingyan Temple together.
The further back you go, the quieter it is, the monks of Lingyan Temple generally live in the front yard, and the Zen room in the backyard is generally used to receive the nobles who come to offer incense, and this time in order to welcome the princess of Jinyang who prays for the country, Lingyan Temple arranges it to the most secluded and remote Zen room.
The meditation room is not far from the back door of Lingyan Temple.
The closer they got to the back door, the more grim Duan Lizheng and Princess Jinyang's faces became.
Duan Hao first observed his words, although his face was light, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Li Zheng, if we don't go from the door, can we avoid the guards by walking from somewhere else?" He asked.
"This distance is actually the same for a master," Duan Lizheng smiled bitterly, "If you really want to stop, wherever you go, it's a head-on breakthrough." ”
"Then let's go from the front." Princess Jinyang commanded, "Aunt Tao, they will be handed over to you in the spring rain, if there are really warriors fighting, let them flee for their lives, don't think about protecting me." ”
"But ......," said the Tao woman, hesitantly.
"Nothing." Princess Jinyang commanded majestically, "This is my order, I once swore that I would never let any palace maid of the Taiping Palace block my sword again." ”
Lady Tao lowered her head and paused, "Yes, Su Niang takes the order." ”
Princess Jinyang nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at Zhu Luan, who was standing beside her, without missing a trace.
"Don't be so nervous, Aunt Tao, there are really any masters who don't attack me this time." She said with a smile.
"Huh?" Lady Tao raised her head, her eyes widened, and she looked at Princess Jinyang in puzzlement.
"There's someone here who is more likely to be unlucky than me this time." Princess Jinyang smiled mysteriously.
Female Officer Tao was about to ask a question, when a deep male voice came from not far away, "It's here." ”
The back door of Lingyan Temple is already close at hand.
Hearing Princess Jinyang's teasing just now, Zhu Luan glanced at her helplessly on the side, but then shifted his attention to the gate that appeared in front of him not far away.
Although it is the back gate of Lingyan Temple, it is still very carefully built, and it is worthy of being a temple with a royal pen.
It was very empty, and the red-lacquered gate was hidden, and the monks who were supposed to be guarding it did not know where to go.
There was a bad smell wafting through the air.
"This is ......," said the Tao lady, stammering a little.
"It's blood." Zhu Luan said calmly on the side.
Everyone present changed color.
It couldn't be more obvious where this bloody gas came from.
Zhu Luan's hands were clenched tightly under the sleeves of his robe.
Then she strode towards the back door first, and everyone was a little surprised for a while, but Princess Jinyang followed without hesitation, and the others followed.
Zhu Luan stood behind the threshold of the back door, and the bloody aura became thicker and thicker.
The hidden door was like a monster's mouth in the dark, opening and closing with a screeching sound.
Zhu Luan walked in front, looking at the threshold under his feet, and wanted to raise his feet to step over.
A hand reached from behind and grabbed her arm.
"Girl, wait a minute." Duan Lizheng grabbed Zhu Luan's arm and pulled her back.
Zhu Luan's current body had no ability to resist, so she had to let Duan Lizheng pull her away from the door.
"I knew it could be a trap." Duan Lizheng was about to explain to this girl, but he didn't expect her to open her mouth first.
Zhu Luan lowered his head, his smile a little bitter.
She's often seen this kind of thing, but most of the time it's not up to you.
"The best way now is to go out and find out the situation alone, instead of guessing here, if something really happens to that person, someone will rescue them at the back door or think of some other way."
"But ......" Duan Lizheng looked at Zhu Luan's sparkling eyes, not knowing what to say.
He originally thought that this girl didn't understand what the situation was now, and just wanted to be brave.
This kind of person is also very common.
I want to be the first to go in any situation, and after an accident, I can only be rescued by others, and in the end I just waste all my opportunities and energy.
But this girl understands everything, why should she go?
Duan Lizheng didn't understand.
After all, she is the weakest one in this improvised team, and if she wants to survive, the best way is to hide in the depths of the team, maybe she can gain the sympathy of the master lurking in the back door, and even if there is any danger, there is the experience of those who have already tried it.
"But, why are you going to find out?" Duan Lizheng just felt very uncomfortable for some reason.
"Shouldn't this situation be for me to go?" He asked.
"After that, the road down the mountain is counting on you, and you can't have an accident." Zhu Luan laughed, "It's okay, once something happens, I will run for my life immediately." ”
Duan Lizheng didn't understand why she could say such a thing with a smile.
Because there is no way she can escape.
He knew from the beginning that there was only one person guarding the back door of Lingyan Temple.
But this person is the one whose presence even overshadows the many soldiers who besieged the meditation room at the front door.
Duan Lizheng is very familiar with this sense of existence, because when he was in Tiance Academy, there were also many people who gave people this feeling.
This sense of presence is very ethereal, but it feels very real.
From the moment he felt this person, Duan Lizheng was always very nervous.
For him, instead of going through the back door and colliding head-on with this person, it is better to brave the rain of arrows from the front door.
But it's a pity that he can't give up on the others.
It is difficult for one person to escape from the top masters, but unexpectedly, as long as there are enough people, others can escape. After all, masters don't have three heads and six arms, so it's impossible to take care of them all.
But if you let this lady who doesn't even have a realm take the lead, I'm afraid she won't live long.
Duan Lizheng didn't want to see this scene.
"It's okay." Zhu Luan took away Duan Lizheng's hand holding his arm with one hand, and said with a smile: "Let me try it first." ”
Duan Lizheng looked at her and stopped talking.
Zhu Luan moved forward again, but this time he didn't look back.
With a squeak, Zhu Luan pushed open the red-lacquered door, and the breath of blood and wind came together.
She crossed the high threshold.
Then a very bright-looking figure appeared in front of Zhu Luan's eyes.
He appeared very abruptly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Entrusted by someone, please stay here." A kind and gentle voice came.
Zhu Luan raised his head and looked at the figure not far away.
For the first time tonight, she was stunned.
"Why you?" She asked.
I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
