Chapter 144: The Blind Monk
The light rain, which had lasted for two days, finally stopped.
Early in the morning, Sang Mengyu from the courtyard next door greeted him, asked him to take care of the child, and went to the government alone.
Speaking of taking care of children, it is often done, but it is the first time for children who are less than three years old.
At first, it was okay, one big and one small, the big eyes stayed at the little eyes for a while, but it didn't take long for the little doll to start crying and looking for her mother. The point is that when people look at a monk, they howl, and when they look at a monk, they howl.
Let him coax for a long time, but the more he coaxed, the louder he became, and the more he coaxed, the more energetic he cried.
In the end, I couldn't, so I had to take things to divert my attention. touched his body, because he was disguised as a noble son, and there was a hanging ornament on his waist, so he took it off and handed it to the little girl. This jade pendant is warm and moist, and it was bought with Jin Yuanzheng's money last time in the Dayong Dynasty, because it was somewhat useful, and he was not willing to throw it away or sell it. This thing is worth some silver whether it is put in ancient or modern times, and it is just used to coax children now, but how can the little girl know whether it is good or bad, and she plays with it for a while, feels bored, and throws it away.
Then, aggrieved, continued.
The pretending folding fan was unfolded to her, and people took it and stuffed it into their mouths, and the fan surface of the painting was instantly covered with saliva......
The little girl raised her head and cried, screaming so badly.
Yuan Xing was so worried that his eyebrows were almost bald, he thought about it, and handed over the rosary he was carrying, and the cry was quiet, and the little girl sobbed and played for a while, and then threw it against the wall with a "snap" and continued to howl.
Yuan Xing swooped over and picked it up, this string of prayer beads was given by the master when he first became a monk, although the material was ordinary, but over the years, he had been wrapped in pulp, which looked crystal round and smooth, and he had always loved it, but he didn't dare to damage it.
After carefully inspecting it for a while, he was a little relieved to see that there was no defect, and complained in his heart: "Master Sangshi, if you don't come back, I am afraid that all the belongings of the poor monk will be ruined by your little ancestor." ”
In the end, he couldn't, he suddenly remembered a notebook he was carrying in his baggage, tore off a page, and made a simple windmill, so that he could coax the little girl.
When Sang Mengyu returned, he saw Yuan Xing sitting in a precarious position, drinking tea in the pavilion, while his daughter was running wildly in the yard with a spinning windmill.
Yuan Xing looked at her red and swollen eyes, frowned, and asked, "You can see someone?"
Sang Mengyu sighed, and was about to answer, but her expression moved, but she changed the topic: "This girl in my family has a stubborn temperament, and she is very difficult to serve, and I don't know who she looks like?" I didn't expect this girl to be so comfortable with you, and I couldn't see that the master was quite good at taking care of children. ”
Yuan Xing glanced at Xiao Pan, the guy who entered the hospital to deliver food, his face couldn't help twitching, and he coughed before saying, "It's okay, it's okay." "It's okay to say it on your lips, but you're complaining frantically in your heart, you're embarrassed to say this, who is your daughter like? I don't know what to do!
"Childe, this is your somen noodles." The previous reward was not in vain, not only did Xiao Pan not tell the informant, but his attitude was as courteous as before, and he still called Gongzi in his mouth.
Yuan Xing nodded and thanked him, and then said to Sang Mengyu, who was sitting opposite: "Do you want to come?" Because he didn't know when the other party would return, he even ordered the little girl's share, so it looked like it was a lot, and it was enough for three people to deal with it.
Sang Mengyu didn't be polite because she had something in her heart, she just nodded.
When Xiao Pan withdrew, she said: "I saw the person from afar, it was him." ”
Yuan Xing raised his eyebrows and didn't ask, because the other party's expression showed that things were not going well.
Sure enough, I only heard Sang Mengyu say again: "But this time the person in charge is Menggu, the leader of the Ouchi guards of the new dynasty, and I don't know why I need to go north, so I took this errand by the way." This man has always been old-fashioned and extremely strict, and it took me a lot of trouble just to inquire about it. Spending money to ransom people is basically hopeless. ”
"Do you want to spend money to get along with their destination for the army?" Yuan Xing groaned, his brows furrowed extremely tightly.
"We must not let them go to the place where they are recruited." Sang Mengyu categorically vetoed: "Not to mention whether Dou Ziangna's body can survive until that time, it is said that the purpose of their trip is the main altar of shamanism, this sect has always been evil, and in recent years, it has deliberately targeted the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and has made a lot of small actions behind their backs, where are these Taoist priests still alive?" Moreover, the masters of shamanism are like clouds, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to get out if you and I go. ”
Yuan Xing listened to her explanation, and could only sigh: "Then I had to start halfway, and I don't know what kind of tricks this person is in Menggu?"
"He alone is not afraid, but there are more than ten congenitals accompanying him, and there is really little hope." Sang Mengyu continued to shake her head.
"If you have enough money, you can spend money to hire a master." Yuan Xing proposed again.
"They were already heading north before noon, and it was already too late to gather their staff." Sang Mengyu still shook her head.
Yuan Xing is speechless, this is not good, that is not good, you give a plan?
may have sensed his thoughts, Sang Mengyu pondered for a long time before gritting his teeth: "I can only use a plan." Seeing the puzzled gaze cast by the monk opposite, she lowered her head for a while, suddenly stood up from the stone bench, and walked in front of Yuan Xing in two steps.
Yuan Xing didn't know what she meant, and was about to ask, but saw her kneel on the ground with a puff.
Yuan Xing's eyelids jumped, and he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly got up: "What does the donor mean?" ”
Sang Mengyu didn't get up, she wanted to cry, and sighed lamentingly: "After coming down from the Truth Seeker, I thought about all the way, if things didn't go well, I pretended to be a Taoist priest, and I was caught by them on the way, mixed into the team going north and waited for the opportunity to rescue." ”
This is also a solution, Yuan Xing thought about it and nodded slightly.
Sang Mengyu had already cried at this time, and begged bitterly: "The master is full of divine powers, and he will bring someone out like a bag to get something." I know I've done a lot of ridiculous things, and I know I'm wrong. I've never done anything bad since I had a child, and now I've changed my ways. Ask the master to abandon his previous suspicions and help me, I promise, after this incident, I will definitely look forward to the master's horse, and it is not a problem to be a slave and a maid. With that, his head slammed to the ground.
Yuanxing avoided it with a vertical step, and at this time, the little girl playing on the side also noticed that something was wrong and looked this way.
He hurriedly persuaded: "You better get up and talk, the child is watching." ”
Sang Mengyu didn't care whether she lost face in front of her daughter, she still knelt: "The child and Dou Ziang are innocent, please ask the master to help him for the sake of him and you being half a fellow countryman." ”
Yuan Xing sighed and said nothing, after all, he kicked people here, if there are really three long and two short, I don't know, I know that my Dao heart will be dusty, which is not good for cultivation. Dou Ziang, of course he wanted to save it.
But Sang Mengyu and his wife are not friends with him, and they can even be called opponents. These two people really can't be said to be good people, but he was very wary of them as soon as they met. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable and have to be guarded against. If he follows the other party's strategy, he is really afraid of being trapped.
But his long sigh carried a sense of looseness in Sang Mengyu's ears, and he hurriedly begged again: "If the master is outside, it will be nothing for me to break into the internal primary, but after all, I am an innate martial artist, and I don't know what kind of torture I will suffer if I fall into their hands?" At the very least, the shackles will inevitably be added, and the drugs that restrict the true qi must be taken. If it is more miserable, it is possible to be abolished. But as a woman, I had no ability to resist at that time, and if someone had a bad heart, I had to endure it. If Dou Lang knows, throwing himself into the well is the only fate. ”
Of course, Yuan Xing didn't believe that people like her would go to the well, if something really happened, Dou Ziang dared to show a trace of disgust, and it would be good not to be discounted by her third leg.
But it is indeed inconvenient for a woman to sneak into the enemy camp alone. Thinking about it, only he is the most suitable of the two people with the same purpose. However, he is not from this world after all, and some details still need to be asked.
"What if a poor monk pretends to be a Taoist priest and is found to be a monk?"
"There are also Buddhist disciples who have been captured in the team, and the master will directly reveal his identity, which is fine." Sang Mengyu was shocked when she heard this.
"The poor monk is also a ninth-order martial artist, and he also has to take drugs that restrict his true qi, in case his skills are abolished, won't he be able to do this? In addition, the shackles are added, and the movement of poor monks is also restricted. ”
"I have an antidote here, once things get true, someone wants to abolish your kung fu, the master just leaves, you have Buddhist powers, just shackles, can you still restrain you?" Sang Mengyu had already stood up at this time, looking at him with hope.
I heard that there are female soldiers in the new dynasty, all of them are fierce, in case they ...... Cough! Yuan Xing originally followed the other party's previous statement and asked, and almost said this sentence as well, but fortunately, he reacted in time and held it back.
He blushed and sighed for a long time.
The little girl over there tilted her head and listened to her mother chatting with the strange uncle, but she couldn't understand, and she lost interest for a long time, and went to play by herself with a small windmill.
Sang Mengyu didn't know what the monk on the other side thought, turned her head to look at the carefree child, and added another fire: "If my husband and wife have three long and two short, my daughter will ask the master to take care of it." She has been weak and sick since she was a child, and her stomach is not good, so she must have millet porridge in the morning and meat every day, otherwise she will not grow strong. You must hug you when you go to bed at night, or you will cry. After a pause, he continued to emphasize: "By the way, I haven't named her yet, I thought about rescuing his father, but if the master doesn't agree, there will be no hope for this matter." Poor baby, without a father, doesn't even have a name. ”
Yuan Xing glanced at the little girl who was still running crazy in the courtyard, jumping up and down, and then at the folding fan that was torn in half on the ground, and finally nodded: "I'll go." ”
At that moment, the two adults and one small three people had a hasty lunch, then retreated from the room, and used light skills all the way to the north.
They were lightly armed and unburdened, and they were much faster, and they saw the army going north from afar. Afraid of the masters inside, they didn't dare to approach, disturbed a big circle, and slipped to the front of the team to the official road where the scouts hadn't even arrived, and it was not dark at this time.
There was still some time to prepare, Yuan Xing took out an old dress that he was reluctant to throw away from his carry-on package, changed it on the side of the road, took off his wig again, and completely returned to his previous dress.
handed over all the irrelevant items he was carrying to Sang Mengyu, and at this time, he was a monk who was on his feet, penniless and in shabby clothes. Well, for the sake of truth, he also repeated his old tricks and rolled on the ground a few times.
He came out of a big change in front of Sang Mengyu's mother and daughter, the little girl looked at Yuan Xing with big eyes, this good-looking uncle became another in a very short period of time, and even his hair was gone.
"I have a power restriction here, do you want to take it first?" Sang Mengyu looked at his actions, thought for a moment and then proposed: "In this way, you can disguise yourself as a low-level martial artist, and maybe you will suffer less trouble." This medicine can be recovered in three or two days, and it will be much easier to move at that time. ”
"Not necessarily." Yuan Xing smiled, sat cross-legged, and silently exercised the exercises.
Sang Mengyu didn't know what he was going to do at first, but then her eyes widened, because in her perception, the qi and blood in the monk on the other side were rapidly decreasing, and finally when he stood up, there were only one or two layers of power left in his body. Compared with a second-order martial artist, it seems more consistent with his youthful appearance.
"You even have the means to hide your skills." Sang Mengyu couldn't help but admire, you must know that the advantage of this method is that things can change and you can recover your strength at any time, which is much safer and more convenient than taking medicine.
Yuan Xing smiled lightly, because of the relationship of trust, he didn't want to take the medicine provided by Sang Mengyu easily, fortunately, the days when he stayed in Baoguo Temple in the Dali Dynasty were not wasted, and he didn't learn the best exercises, but he really got a lot of skills in the use of these partial doors, and he only thought that maybe he would get some convenience when doing tasks that day, but he didn't expect to use it so soon.
"Do you want to pretend to be unconscious again?" Sang Mengyu looked at the south and calculated the time, it wasn't long before the team should arrive.
Yuan Xing naturally knew what he meant, when the Yunzhou monk was confronting the government, a walking monk was really suspicious when he saw that the army did not run, but if he fled, he would inevitably be attacked by arrows, and if he was not good, he would inevitably show his horse's feet.
Now that we've done it, it doesn't matter if you add some more ingredients.
He pondered for a moment, broke off a branch from the tree, weighed it with his hand, and suddenly asked, "If a blind monk appears on the road, wouldn't it be more harmless to the army heading north?" ”
"That's natural, but how can a blind man be so ......" Sang Mengyu nodded when she heard this, who knew that she hadn't finished her words, and when she saw Yuanxing's eyes, she couldn't help but exclaim.
I saw that Yuan Xing's originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant, becoming dim, and there was no trace of brilliance. He used the branch in his hand as a blind cane to take a few steps, which was still jerky at first, but after a while he used it freely. After all, he really was blind for a while, and of course he was very handy at doing this.
"This ......" Sang Mengyu admits that he has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and has seen people pretending to be blind and disabled, but he has never been as vivid as the monk opposite.
She swallowed her saliva and hesitated, "Yuanxing, can I ask a question?" ”
"Huh?" Yuan Xingzhen turned his head like a blind man and pointed his ear in the direction from which the sound came.
"Your monastery not only teaches Buddhism, but also trains assassins, right?"
Yuanxing: "......"
