Chapter 128: Huayan Temple (4)

"You can close your eyes and recite the sutra devoutly, and the whole ritual lasts for an hour, without pause in the middle, and please insist on it." After the explanation, Monk Huiying withdrew from the apse and gently covered the door of the palace. He led the other monks to sit around the outer hall, which was surrounded by three floors.

As soon as Xiaoyu sat down on the futon, he heard a chime, the sound of wooden fish and chanting buzzed, and the inner hall was already small, and the chanting sound was heard very clearly. I could only hear the buzzing and babbling.

At first, Qi Heng could still be heard writhing quietly on the side, but as the chanting became louder and louder, Qi Heng seemed to gradually quiet.

Xiao Yu knelt on the futon and thought wildly, but she didn't know when it started, she felt that her mind was heavy, the sandalwood fragrance on the tip of her nose became more and more intense, and her eyelids seemed to be heavy.

The chanting in my ears seemed to grow louder and louder, and at last it kept echoing in my head, and the whole world seemed to hear only this disturbing hum.

"No, no, this is so wrong! Xiao Yu tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't open them, and the whole person seemed to have entered a "ghost press", and his mind became less and less clear.

She bit the tip of her tongue so hard that she only felt a salty smell in her desperation. With the momentary soberness of this pain, she reluctantly pulled out a pill from her sleeve.

This pill was asked for by the Golden Brick Girl after being fascinated in the palace last time, and it is said that it is invulnerable to all poisons and extremely precious. Before entering the hall this time, Xiao Yu deliberately hid this pill in his sleeve.

The pill melted in her mouth, and a powerful cool intention rushed to her brain, Xiaoyu's mind was cleared, she moved her hands and feet, and found that her body had returned to normal. The humming of chanting outside still came in, but it no longer had the effect of bewitching the mind.

Xiao Yu got up lightly and found that Qi Pan and Qi Heng had fallen on the futon, she didn't care about the situation of the two, and first reached out to extinguish the incense stick burning in front of the Buddha.

There were no windows in the whole inner sanctum, and there was only one entrance and exit to the temple door. Xiao Yu pulled out an incense candle and held it in his hand, and walked to the back of the hall by this candlelight.

She walked to the quiet room where Mei Niang was first, and gently pushed the door, but the door couldn't be opened. Xiao Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly held the candle flame into the crack of the door. The ashram was empty, and it was empty.

Xiao Yu was in a hurry, and hurriedly groped his way to the quiet room where his wife was. Naturally, the door couldn't be opened, and Xiao Yu looked in through the crack in the door, and there was a woman inside, but she couldn't see her face clearly. The candle flame was so weak that I couldn't even see the clothes clearly, and I didn't know if it was the lady inside.

Xiao Yu was so anxious that he slapped the door, but the door did not shake at all, and did not make any noise. "Mother, mother," the little fish shouted through the crack in the door, but the woman didn't move.

Xiao Yu returned to the front of the inner hall and slapped Qi Pan and Qi Heng's cheeks vigorously, but they didn't respond.

The chanting of the outer hall seemed to have stopped, and Xiao Yu walked to the door of the temple and pulled the door hard, but the door was locked at some point.

"It's over!" Xiao Yu cursed in her heart, she stuck to the crack of the door and looked out, the outer hall was quiet, and those monks disappeared silently.

"Open the door! Someone doesn't! No matter how the little fish slammed on the door and shouted inside, the door did not move, and no one followed the sound.

"Where did Nima Murong Hua die!" Xiao Yu angrily scolded the unreliable Murong Hua in his heart, while searching for available things in the inner hall.

With it, Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and there was a large vat standing in the corner of the inner hall, which is usually used for fireproofing, and there should be clear water in it.

Xiao Yu stood on tiptoe, moved the vat little by little, found a vase on the offering table, scooped up water, and then moistened the hem of his coat with water and gently wiped Qi Pan and Qi Heng's faces. After she wiped it repeatedly, Qi Pan and Qi Heng finally regained a little sense.

"Second sister, what's wrong with me?"

"Second sister, what's going on?" As soon as the two siblings opened their eyes, they first looked at Xiaoyu in confusion, and then slowly remembered where they were.

"Can you see if you can go? We are in danger right now! Aunt Mei is gone! Xiao Yu said to Qi Pan and Qi Heng seriously, she ignored the exclamations made by the two of them, and reached out to help Qi Heng up first.

"Can you do it yourself?"

"Second sister, my legs are soft, and I can't do it!" Qi Heng pressed almost his whole body on Xiao Yu's arm.

"Second sister, I can't do it either!" Qi Pan tried several times and couldn't stand up.

Xiao Yu looked at the inner sanctum, but saw nothing that could be used as a crutch. Just as she was wandering around the inner hall, Qi Pan Qi Heng let out another exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoyu ran over with her skirt in three steps and two steps.

Qi Pan and Qi Heng both pointed to a small crack on the right side of the gate. The little fish looked at it, and his heart was beating violently, and a wisp of white smoke was curling out of the crack.

"Don't panic!" While comforting the panicked two siblings, Xiao Yu quickly tore off the hanging curtain in the inner hall.

"Come on! Like I did! Xiao Yu handed the torn strip of cloth to Qi Pan and Qi Heng, then dipped the strip of cloth into the vase, and then covered the wet strip of cloth over his mouth and nose.

Qi Pan only hesitated slightly, then did according to Xiaoyu's demonstration, and then helped Qi Heng tie up the wet cloth strips.

Xiaoyu took the cloth strip and soaked it again, and then blocked the cloth strip on the smoking gap, hoping to understand, and continued to get several wet cloth strips and handed them to Xiaoyu.

The little fish plugged the gap, carried the vase to the vat and fetched water, and the dress was wet. She looked at Qi Pan and Qi Heng, who were looking at her in bewilderment, and explained: "In case they light a fire, we can also support it a little bit!" ”

Then, she carried the two of them to the place where the big vat was and said, "You two try to see if you can stand with the big vat in your arms, if the fire starts for a while, relying on this vat of water, you may be able to save our lives!" ”

Qi Heng suddenly grabbed Xiaoyu's sleeve and cried, "Second sister, where are you going?" ”

Xiao Yu showed a wry smile on his face: "Where else can I go, I want to go to the quiet room in the back to see if I can find a way to get in, there is a woman there, I have to see if it is a mother!" ”

Qi Pan trembled and held on to the vat and tried to stand up, took a handful of water and poured it into his mouth and said, "Second sister, I'll go with you!" She poured some more water on her face.

After a while, she suddenly said happily: "Second sister, I'm better, it seems that I can go!" Xiao Yu watched her concoct Qi Heng in the same way, and suddenly remembered that there should still be Snow Jade Pills in his belt, and couldn't help but secretly blame himself for being so nervous that he even forgot this important thing.

She hurriedly rummaged through the hidden compartment of her belt, and sure enough, she turned out two snow jade pills. "You have this in your mouth! She walked over and stuffed one of them into her mouth. After taking the Snow Jade Pill, the two of them really got better, at least they could slowly walk on their own against the wall.

Xiao Yu took the two of them to grope back to the quiet room where Madame was, and she pushed the door, still not moving. Xiao Yu's heart became more and more agitated, and there was a faint smell of fireworks in the air. Looks like they're going to set us on fire.

Xiao Yu was playing the drum in his heart, and he was quickly thinking about a way out in his head. Murong Hua didn't know what was wrong, no one came to save them now, and Bai Fubai Rong must have something wrong to be unable to get out. Fortunately, those monks probably didn't expect Xiaoyu to come to his senses.

The little fish sits with his back against the wall and forces himself to calm down! That's right! Mei Niang is gone! What does it mean that she disappeared without a sound? It means that there must be a secret passage in that ashram!

The little fish thumped his thigh excitedly, and suddenly touched a hard object. Oops, I forgot about this! Xiao Yu touched it and was immediately pleasantly surprised. It turned out that she tied the dagger that Yuegongzi had left before to her leg, and because she had never used it, she didn't even think about it for a while.

She pulled out her dagger and stabbed it hard into the crack in the door, and it was a good thing to sharpen iron like clay. Xiao Yuxi said: "Big sister, Heng'er, hurry up and help me!" The two people who were sitting on the side with their heads down in frustration surrounded them when they heard this.

Qi Heng held the candle flame for Xiao Yu, Qi Pan put his right hand on Xiao Yu's hand holding the dagger, the two of them worked together, and after a while, with the efforts of the two, they finally opened the door latch with the dagger.

"Bang!" Xiao Yu opened the door with her shoulder, and almost fell down all at once, but fortunately, Qi Pan supported her on the side.

The chairs in the room are still there, but there is no trace of Meiniang. "Big sister, there must be a secret passage here, otherwise Meiniang can't disappear out of thin air, you see that the door is locked from the inside." Xiao Yu said, pointing to the latch that had been opened by the dagger.

"Heng'er, you guard here first, let's go to my mother's quiet room to have a look!" Qi Pan was anxious about the safety of his wife, and dragged the little fish out of the house.

Qi Heng shook his head and said, "Sister, I'll go with you, I can at least help you hold the candle flame to illuminate it!" ”

Xiao Yu held Qi Heng's little hand and said, "Okay, Heng'er, my sisters will rely on you to protect you!" ”

Qi Heng puffed up his small chest and said, "Yes, I am a man, so I should protect women!" Xiao Yu's heart was hot, and he secretly vowed to take them out of here safely.

The three of them came to another quiet room and opened the door in the same way, and when Qi Panyi saw that the woman who fell to the ground was dressed exactly like his wife, his face was already pale, and he almost fainted and staggered.

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth and asked Qi Heng to help Qi Pan, and she had the courage to turn the woman's face over. In the faint candlelight, the woman's face was frighteningly pale, and she was out of breath!

"Mother Zhou! It's Mama Zhou! The little fish approached the woman's face with the candle flame, but suddenly cried out in surprise.
