Chapter 129: The Fire
Empress Wu took the second prince and talked to him while walking, what kind of hall is this, what kind of Bodhisattva is offered, and what is over there, walking very slowly, everyone followed, and walked slowly.
Li Yan walked and looked around, the White Horse Temple, as the first temple in the capital, was majestic and magnificent, which made Li Yan a little amazed.
Turning the last Buddha hall, next to a flat bluestone platform, stands a high wooden tower, and a string of brass wind chimes hangs in the corner of the tower, which is blown by the wind.
Li Yan looked straight at the wooden tower, but under the bright sun, the tower was gloomy and filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
Miss Shao Qi pulled down Li Yan, who paused, "This is the tower!" Eleven sisters have told me several times, saying that you can see the whole White Horse Temple from the tower, and said that looking over there, spring and summer are a sea of flowers, autumn leaves are yellow and red, beautiful paintings can not be painted, to winter is a snow scene, like the best landscape painting! Sister, let's go up to the top floor to see! ”
Li Yan was pulled by Miss Shao Qi, more than ten steps away from the wooden tower, Li Yan was almost breathless by the chill and fear that the tower exuded, "I don't want to go, I'm afraid of high ...... Don't go ...... either."
Li Yan was pulled a few steps closer by Miss Shao Qi, and stepped into the shadow cast by the wooden tower, Li Yan stared straight at the wooden tower, and in the fire in front of him, the burning, painful and twisted people fell from it one by one.
"Don't go either!" Li Yan screamed in a sharp and frightened voice, grabbed Miss Shao Qi, pulled her back hard, and led the second prince, Queen Wu, who had already stepped into the tower door with one foot, turned around sharply and looked straight at Li Yan, Li Yan pulled Miss Shao Qi tightly, and took a step back, "Don't go in either...... This tower...... Let people go in and see first, there are snakes...... Maybe ......"
Li Yan's throat was dry, retreated into the sun, there was no fire in front of him, the tower was still the tower, bathed in the warm winter sun, the copper bell tinkling, distant and peaceful.
Empress Wu's eyes were calm, staring at Li Yan, and she ordered coldly: "Go to two people and take a closer look." ”
"Yes." The two mothers-in-law answered, sideways into the tower, Queen Wu pulled the second prince, took two steps back, took a few steps back, raised her head, the two mothers-in-law leaned out from the second floor, signaling that it was okay here, Queen Wu took a few steps back, looking at the two mothers-in-law just poked their heads out of the third floor, Miss Wu Jiu, who was standing next to Queen Wu, suddenly screamed in horror, and a flame rose from the bottom of the tower.
Li Yan's leader, Sen Sen, looked straight at the fire that rushed up in the blink of an eye, and the two mothers-in-law who were trapped on the third floor, screaming in horror.
"Jump! Jump! Li Yan screamed at the two mothers-in-law, this voice was shouted by her, but it sounded very distant, as if it was her voice from another world, coming through the air.
"Let's go, sister......" Miss Shao Qi grabbed Li Yan tightly, crying loudly in horror, Yushu was like an arrow piercing the clouds, passing over everyone, rushing straight to Li Yan's side, holding her with one hand, and holding Miss Shao Qi with the other, crossing the bluestone platform, and retreating to a safe place away from the fire.
Li Yan held Yushu's hand tightly, and Yushu was by her side, which made her feel much more at ease.
"Show her to me!" Empress Wu pointed at Li Yan and ordered the guards who had rushed over to protect her.
Miss Shao Qi couldn't react in a daze, she only looked at Empress Wu stunned, the sudden fire, the death close to the tip of her nose, had already scared her stupid, and at this moment, she heard the terrible gaze and terrible command of Empress Wu, but she didn't know what it meant.
"Go find your big brother." Li Yan peeled off Miss Shao Qi's hand and pushed her.
"Mingjue." Shao Cong, Shao Yu and others had already rushed over, Shao Yu stepped forward and pulled Miss Shao Qi, and looked at Li Yan hesitantly at the guards who had already gathered around.
Li Yan hung his head, looking at the few traces of dredging on his wrist that were grabbed by Miss Shao Qi.
How did she know that the wooden tower was going to catch fire? She didn't know herself, she just saw the fire, why didn't she see herself being brought into a catastrophe by the fire?
"What's going on?" Pei Qing crossed Shao Yu and the guards, stretched out his hand and pressed on Li Yan's shoulder, his voice low and calm, as if gossiping.
Pei Qing's hand on his shoulder, and this calm voice, made Li Yan seem to breathe through. "I saw the fire before it started." Li Yan looked up at Pei Qing, and his gaze moved to the burning wooden tower.
Pei Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he looked down at Li Yan, "I know, don't worry, it'll be fine." After speaking, Pei Qing took two steps back and waved at Queen Wu, "Niangniang, Miss Li has an old illness, and she has survived by the care of this girl since she was a child. ”
"Don't worry, she saved our lives." Empress Wu agreed, turned her head, squinted slightly, and looked at the eldest princess of Yongle who was frowning and looking annoyed and confused.
By chance, she and her son were unscathed, and this is where destiny lies!
A little away from the crowd, Li Ruo stood straight, her face was pale, how did she know about this fire? What did she do? She really came to take revenge, she was going to kill the Li family......
The fire of the White Horse Temple, in the eyes of everyone, from the hustle and bustle of the majestic to a pile of ashes, the capital, which was originally at least quiet and festive on the surface, was noisy and chaotic.
Li Yan was tightly wrapped in a cloak, leaning on the jade tree a little drowsily, swaying with the bumps of the car.
The car was surrounded by the guards, followed by the car of Empress Wu and the second prince, entered the city gate, entered the palace gate, Empress Wu's car stopped, Li Yan's car stopped, Yushu helped Li Yan down, was escorted by several Kong Wu's mother-in-law, and followed Empress Wu into the luxurious hall of Empress Wu.
"Tell me, who's going to burn us to death?" Empress Wu stretched out her arms, and while the maids took off their cloaks and long skirts, she asked Li Yan with cold eyes.
The warmth in the hall was like spring, which made Li Yan gradually regain his vitality.
"I don't know." Li Yan shook her head, how could she know?
"How do you know that tower has been tampered with?" Empress Wu went to the big clothes outside, sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang, and was washed by the maid.
"I didn't know that tower had hands and feet." Li Yan remembered Zhou Rui's confession, if Empress Wu believed that she really just saw the fire before the fire, I was afraid that she would never want to get out again, what a good live detector!
"And what do you know? You have to tell me, how did you know you were going to catch fire? Empress Wu rinsed her mouth and asked again with sarcasm.
Li Yan hung her head and didn't answer, she didn't know anything, how did she know that there was going to be a fire, she didn't want to say.
