Changguo Temple, embroidered gallery.

Since the departure of the cicada who lives here, the atmosphere of Changguo Temple, which was suppressed by Wuzhi Mountain, immediately became active, and the monks and nuns in the temple were mixed, shouting five and drinking six, rendering the yellow-walled temple in the slightly cold early winter into a colorful world.

Whether it was the unusual commotion of the Zhaoyi Army or the sudden ruthless edict of the Left-behind Mansion, it seemed that it did not affect the prosperity of the Changguo Temple market, and it was still full of tourists and traveling in a hurry.

On the stalls on both sides, or the little nun greeted the guests shyly and unfamiliarly, or the old monk was kind and kind-eyed, like a monk who had attained the Tao, with an unfathomable state, if it were not for the futon under his buttocks in front of all kinds of Buddha statues, and the mouth was kind and seductive, the tourists almost thought that it was a great monk who was here to promote Buddhism.

In the field, there are constantly part-time brokers of the little helper to greet the guests to come, at the right time, there is a loss laughter sounded, only to see the name of Zhang Sixi Xiaofu bowed and followed behind a woman in the cage veil, with a flattering smile on her face, and her mouth gushed endlessly to introduce the various Buddhist objects placed on the stall.

For example, the clay sculpture of the demon subjugation of the Rahu Temple, and the immortal wood Buddha sculpture from the Shouning Temple stand side by side, just like the god of the door in front of the stall, and the shadow wall of the floating Buddha of the King Kong Cave standing silently on the side, etc., all of which are the supreme magic weapon of subduing demons and eliminating demons and defeating the enemy in the Buddhist gate.

Ordinary times are not begging, but due to the recent promulgation of the 'Buddha Order' in Taikang City, the temples in Dajing are like a catastrophe, the monks are forced to return to the world, and the fields and houses are all confiscated, except for the monks' embroidery and monks' robes, all the rest of the things must be handed over.

When this decree swept up and down Dajing, all the temple monks went crazy, and in just a few days, the squares, streets and alleys and night market stalls were full of Buddhist treasures, especially the golden Arhats, Bodhisattva sculptures, and many stupa staffs with faint aura, etc., and even the portraits and shadow walls of Buddhist monks and monks were taken out for sale.

The streets and alleys are like this, not to mention the rows of shops, their stewards have long been surrounded by the deacons and elders of the foreign affairs halls of the major temples, and the two sides are fighting for a penny, and they are arguing, but one party is anxious, and the other party is waiting for it, not to mention that the shopkeepers have long been ready to go, recuperate for many days, in line with the mentality of waiting for the rabbit and slaughtering the fat sheep, the monks of the Buddhist temples will be killed to lose their armor and flee, this is doomed to the battle of bargaining from the beginning, Naturally, it ended in the failure of Buddhism.

Even so, Buddhism went on a big sale for a whole month.

Among the common objects, animal tooth carvings, hollow Buddha reliefs, gilded enamel porcelain and simple miniature clay statues of Buddha are the most expensive, and most of these sculptures are Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

In addition, in order to break into the Middle-earth world, the clay sculpture gradually moved closer to the Confucian and Taoist families, including Confucian gentlemen, saints and respected old masters, as well as majestic and immortal Taoist immortals.

As for the embroidery, veils, felt hats, lotus crowns, hair scarves, belts and even profane underwear from the nunnery, which are almost squeezed out of the stalls selling screens, pearls, and daily necessities, but the stalls of rare birds and animals, cultural toys and other utensils are still standing.

In addition, the nuns will also take out the brocade of the tailor's clothes for sale, but most of them are mainly plain robes, and the brocade robes with bright colors are not nothing, but they are still light yellow, matcha, green onion, jet black and silver white, except for bright yellow, dark yellow, and gold and purple for the royal exclusive, the rest of the scarlet, goose yellow, blue and even azure Taoist robes and brocade are extremely rare.

The woman in the veil stopped the little helper who was spitting and flying, she leaned over slightly, her beautiful eyes twisted slightly, and landed on a hairpin decorated with six deep-sea pearls, which was no more than five inches large, and the whole body was white, shining slightly, seemingly inconspicuous.

Zhang Sixi looked stunned, it seemed that there was a noble daughter who was also in the picture last time, looking at his demeanor and bearing, he was almost on par with the indescribable lady of the family in front of him, he secretly muttered to himself that these young ladies of the big family like these things, he pondered to remind the old monk later, prepare more, and let those beautiful and golden daughters of the family be happy.

Quietly making a small calculation in his heart, the smile on his face bloomed like a flower, his face was full of admiration, and he exclaimed: "Girl, you really have a vision, and you fell in love with the most expensive thing in this stall at a glance." ”

He sighed and sighed, his eyes seemed to be in a trance and reminiscence, and he sighed: "Girl, don't you know, this thing is the treasure of this stall owner's temple, and it is handed down from the floating temple of the Buddhist sect."

Legend has it that there is a mysterious Buddhism hidden in it, but no one has explored its mystery for decades, so this opportunity has been sealed here, but I didn't expect this opportunity to fall on you in the end, I can only say that you are a real person with deep blessings. ”

Dharma? Or is it a legend?

The woman in the cage veil frowned, her eyes spread, her eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion, and she glanced at him, "Are you a fool for me?" ”

Zhang Sixi sighed in his heart, his face was silent, his face was slightly solemn when he heard the words, and after looking at the endless crowd around him, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Okay, girl, the villain won't hide it from you, this thing was actually matched by a fairy, bidding for this number." ”

He quietly stretched out five fingers, suppressed excitement in his tone, and tried his best to lower his voice and said: "A full fifty salty dragon coins, but the stall owner still hasn't sold it, claiming that the treasure is destined to get it, and the little one only knows now that you are the one who is destined to do so." ”

Fifty salty dragon money is enough for a family of three to have a year's ration, which is indeed not low.

As for the words of the destined person, the woman automatically filtered it, and she raised her eyebrows, only fifty salty dragon money, are you looking down on me?

Zhang Sixi misunderstood, thinking that the official lady in front of him seemed to be suspicious of him, and hurriedly added: "Girl, don't believe it, my old Zhang dares to pat his chest and make a guarantee, this baby, buy it back, you will only make money and not lose, and ensure that you have a good fortune and a happy marriage." ”

After the woman in the veil pondered for a while, a melodious voice like a yellow warbler sounded: "Do you know who that girl's name is?" ”

At first hearing this clear sound, Zhang Sixi couldn't help but be in a trance, as if he was in a wonderful fairyland, when the woman frowned displeased, he subconsciously snorted, quickly came back to his senses, and after laughing, he hurriedly replied:

"Back to the girl, although I don't know who the girl's surname was that day, but she was also accompanied by a few noble sons with extraordinary bearing, especially the one beside her, who was the demeanor of a high-ranking lord, and it must be from the 'ten surnames'."

He secretly glanced at the noble daughter in front of him, and said casually: "Villain, presumably, it should not be difficult for you to learn the identities of those people." ”

The woman in the cage veil glanced at the other party lightly, and after silently touching the little beast in her arms, she turned around and left, and said in a clear voice: "Qing'er, buy this pearl hairpin, and in addition, reward him with three coins." ”

The pearl hairpin is a trivial matter, and it can be seen from the smell of the 'green fox' that His Royal Highness has indeed been here.

I also bought this kind of pearl hairpin.

The green-tailed fox, derived from the Qingyi faction of the monastic force, this faction is good at refining the wing bones of the spirit beast into the back of the monk to increase the speed of flying, and is known for tracking, patrolling, and escaping.

And the green-tailed fox on the cage yarn woman chirped a few times, and the cage yarn woman rubbed its fluffy little head, as if the distant mountain eyebrows bent slightly, as if there was a smart smile, she said to herself: "I'm about to see him." ”

Behind him, Zhang Sixi looked at the girl named Qing'er and the stall owner's nun with a smile, and he smiled more and more attentively and introduced: "Girl, do you want to go to the rare bird market to have a look?" There are so many new and excellent varieties there? ”

"No need, this trip is tiring."

After paying the bill with the stall owner, and then throwing three salty dragon coins to the other party, Qing'er looked lightly, glanced at Zhang Sixi lightly, the smile on the other party's face suddenly stagnated, and his heart was terrified and frightened, and the cold sweat on his forehead was soaked, and he didn't dare to step forward presumptuously.

At the same time, at the gate of Changguo Temple, Zhang Mingyue and Fang Xirou stepped in together, and Song Zhuowen followed quickly with a sword behind him.

The woman in the cage seemed to feel something, looked back, and after seeing the two pretty pictures, she smiled, and Zhang Mingyue looked surprised.

She immediately walked quickly to the woman in the cage veil, grabbed the woman's wrist, and after looking up and down, she was surprised and happy, happy and angry, half afraid and half blamed: "Jiyue, you scared me to death." ”

The woman in the cage yarn is none other than Xiao Jiyue, the daughter of Xiao Xiang.

It was also because of her that Qin Daoyuan temporarily spared Xiao Yuanzheng.

Xiao Jiyue lowered her head shyly and smiled lightly, "It's okay, it's safe all the way." ”

Zhang Mingyue rolled her eyes and said angrily: "You can pull it down, I don't believe you don't know how many people are secretly protecting you." ”

As he was talking, in the corner that Xiao Jiyue couldn't see, Zhang Sixi, who was in a daze, was directly covered by someone from behind, and after he whined twice, he was knocked out with a bang.

Afterwards, he was subjected to extreme interrogation and torture, and warned that if he dared to divulge the whereabouts and information of the noble man just now, his entire family would die, and no one in the whole east could protect him, including the Liufu Mansion.

Zhang Sixi's small eyes were frightened, and he nodded his head again and again to assure that he had almost sworn by the eighteenth generation of ancestors, so that those people could quietly withdraw.

After he left, Zhang Sixi, who was named Xiaofu and was actually a news dealer, smiled wryly, and sighed secretly.

Touching the blood scab on the back of his head, he scolded in a low voice, and then hurried home, these cross-river dragons from Taikang were so fierce that they didn't even pay attention to the left-behind mansion, and they didn't dare to mix it if they gave him a hundred guts.

Speaking of the left-behind mansion, he sighed gloomily, thinking of his old backer, and heard that this emperor of the soil who was powerful in the eastern capital was directly sent to the end by Taikang's new lieutenant, and finally even his territory was encroached upon, and he secretly scolded that it was really a fairy fight mortals who suffered, so that your Zhang Ye couldn't even eat.

You said you were fighting, and you were involved in our little minions, and you got out of your grandma's balls.

Suddenly, he had an idea, touched his chin, since the master went to Taikang, then his eyes also went to Taikang to play, maybe he could help the master do some errands.

Well, I heard from a certain brother that there is a force called 'Buyi' that has a very promising development, and there is a big man standing on it, and it shouldn't collapse for a while.

With a snap, he clapped his hands, left, went to Taikang, and went to the old backer.

On the other end, the Su ghost head who was secretly on guard silently retracted his eyes, and instructed the brothers from 'Buyi', and shouted in a low voice: "Cheer up Lao Tzu, if our future housewife has a mistake, you and I will have to move our heads." ”

Dozens of good hands in the rivers and lakes looked all in unison, solemnly promised, this noble person who was ordered by the second master and personally protected by the third master was actually the future housewife, if something went wrong, their ten heads would not be enough to cut off.

In fact, for the identity of this future housewife, from the daily words and deeds of the nobleman, they have a faint guess, even the 'Guan Gushan' above us grovels to her, and her identity is naturally not trivial, of course, the most important thing is her surname 'Xiao'.

In this way, the identity of this noble person is about to be revealed.

As for who the master behind the 'cloth clothes' is, some people are ignorant, no matter what kind of immortal he is, what does it have to do with him, some people guess the approximate, and some people know it but tacitly keep silent, but there is no doubt that as long as they work hard, maybe one day they will be able to turn over and become a master, and they can also taste the upper-class life of fresh clothes and angry horses, wearing red and purple.

A few women walked to the courtyard of the corridor, Xiao Jiyue smiled and held Zhang Mingyue's slender arm, "Oh, why don't you just come out for a walk, as for such a fuss, besides, I'm not powerless, you forget, I have swordsmanship, but the old man of Red Lotus can teach it, it's amazing, when Sister Fang went to see me, there was a competition, you said yes, Sister Fang." ”

The old man of the red lotus in his mouth, is the elder of the Qinglian Sect of the great sect of monasticism, this faction is located in the northern foot of Qingshan in Qingzhou, Dajing, according to legend, the sect is from the tomb of the fairy in the back mountain, after the burial of the immortal, its descendants live next to the mound, over time, it becomes a faction, majoring in 'Qinglian swordsmanship', the disciples in the door are often famous for their books and swords, they act chic and happy, and there are many chivalrous and righteous acts.

Fang Xirou said jokingly: "Yes, let you cut it with both hands, and no one can resist it." ”

Xiao Jiyue's tender cheeks turned crimson, and she rolled her eyes, "Hmph, Sister Fang won't help me anymore." ”

Behind her, Qing'er covered her lips and smiled, Yue'er was crooked, and even a little maid had a different taste.

Zhang Mingyue was helpless, and grabbed her shoulder with her backhand, "Okay, okay, you are amazing, your swordsmanship is superb, so it's always okay." ”

"Sister Fang, don't you want to introduce this girl from your side? It looks familiar. In front of acquaintances, Xiao Jiyue, who was quiet and virtuous, became eccentric, she looked at Song Zhuowen who was holding a sword, and asked playfully.

Fang Xirou casually introduced: "This is my newly accepted sword-holding apprentice, well, you may know, her father is Song Jing, the assassin of Qinzhou, and her mother is Yan Yueying, the daughter of Old Man Yan." ”

Xiao Jiyue suddenly said, "Are you Sister Zhuowen?" ”

Song Zhuowen's eyes flashed a trace of complexity, this innocent and intelligent lady of the Xiao family has been like a day for many years, and her heart has not changed for many years, she sighed secretly, although she has a blood feud with Xiao Shilong, but she has no enmity with Xiao Jiyue, but the two families are destined not to be as close as brothers, so she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, holding a sword and saluting, "I've seen Miss Xiao." ”

polite but not cold, but a hint of alienation still made Xiao Jiyue feel it.

Born in a famous family, she naturally wouldn't show the other party's face on the spot, and nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Mingyue hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Jiyue, Princess Zhaoyang is with you?" ”

Xiao Jiyue was stunned: "You said Jing'er? She's out of Beijing too? ”

Fang Xirou frowned, "She's not with you?" ”

Xiao Jiyue shook her head lightly and said embarrassedly: "No, I sneaked out." ”

She tilted her head in thought, then glanced sideways and back, hooking her fingers.

Fang Xirou and Zhang Mingyue looked at each other suspiciously, only to see a few tourists who seemed to be wandering around, and soon one of the thin young men who was cowering approached respectfully, and without saying a word, they knelt directly on the ground, "I don't know what the girl commands?" ”

The thin young man is the head of the Su ghost.

When Xiao Jiyue sneaked out of the city, these people who called themselves 'cloth clothes' secretly protected her, and gave the identity certificate of the counselor Guan Jiusi, and frankly admitted that they were all the prince's minions.

Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to people like Guan Jiusi, but when she heard that it was the prince's minions, she immediately trusted it 100%, of course, she also believed it after seeing the close-fitting jade pendant that belonged to Xiahou Chun.

In this way, along the way, you can be safe and sound.

Of course, this eldest lady of the Xiao family naturally didn't know, with her arrival, the Tiance battalion, which was recruiting troops and horses in the eastern capital, immediately heard the sound and moved, when Su Guitou was in Tongguan, he sent someone to contact Liu Wenzhen, the current Tiance battalion commander, the other party did not hesitate to transfer two hundred armor soldiers, take a boat north along the river in advance, and clear out the thieves and bandits that may appear on the road.

In this way, Xiao Jiyue can travel all the way to the Eastern Capital for an outing.

Of course, all this is just a force on the surface, as for the private soldiers of the Xiao family, the Qingluan guard of Wanning Palace, and the black-robed guard of Xiahou Chun in secret, it is unknown how many people each sent to protect this eldest lady.

Anyway, I only know that in some barren mountains and mountains, there are more than a dozen killer corpses and monk bones, well, especially one of the real people, was hacked to death by a knife, judging from the wounds on his body, including but not limited to gunshot wounds, knife wounds, arrow wounds and axe chop wounds, the most ruthless is the sword wound that fell from the sky, as if coming from thousands of miles away, a sword pierced the heart, clean and neat, without dragging mud and water, after the fact the three parties tacitly linked people to check, oh, the death is called a miserable ah.

"Ahem."

In front of outsiders, our eldest lady of the Xiao family immediately picked up her fan, and after she coughed lightly twice, she sighed, "Do you know where Princess Zhaoyang is now?" ”

Ghost Su subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Fang Xirou and Zhang Mingyue, his face hesitant.

Fang Xirou raised her eyebrows, her face was slightly gentle, and her vigilance was good.

Zhang Mingyue's face remained unchanged, and she was not surprised when she knew that this might be Xiao Xiang's personal minion.

Xiao Jiyue's face was small, "They are all friends of your master, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ghost Su leaned over and replied: "Miss Huixiao, according to the secret report of her brothers, as soon as Her Royal Highness the Princess entered the Eastern Capital, she was taken into the place by the Tiance Camp to protect her. ”

"Tiance Camp?" Zhang Mingyue chewed.

Fang Xirou said lightly: "The prince's newly formed East Palace Guard. ”

Zhang Mingyue was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously asked: "Isn't the East Palace Guard in Taikang, why did they form another one?" ”

Fang Xirou's eyes flashed, and she sneered: "Where does this know, maybe he is not at ease." ”

Xiao Jiyue blinked her little eyes, "Otherwise, let's go take a look." ”

Zhang Mingyue quipped: "What, you want to go and see the bride price in advance?" ”

Xiao Jiyue's crimson cheeks became hotter and hotter, she took a sip lightly, and snorted: "I am checking for Your Highness, trying to see how good this East Palace guard is." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you say yes." Zhang Mingyue said along with her.

After speaking, she glanced down at Ghost Su's head, "Let's go, take us to Tiance Camp to have a look, well, just tell Gonggong Liu, we are here to visit Jing'er." ”

Ghost Su hurriedly responded, "No! ”

Looking at the sweet look on Xiao Jiyue's face, he quietly raised his head and glanced at the prince's confidante Fang Xirou.

I saw that the other party's face was calm, and he couldn't see any expression.

But for some reason, Su Guitou always felt that his scalp was numb and cold.
