Volume 3: The Rivers and Lakes Hand in Hand Chapter 32 The Wandering Soul

Han Ye and Xue Yan were a little stunned when they heard Situ Yunmeng say this.

"Daughter......" Situ Sheng looked at the pearl in his palm with a little surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said with a sinking face: "Don't be willful at this time, whatever your father says, you have to take him back." ”

Yun Meng turned his back to everyone and sobbed: "Daddy, if you don't go back, then I'll go back alone." ”

"Nonsense!" Situ Sheng slapped his hand on his thigh and said angrily: "Dad came here thousands of miles away just to ......"

Situ Sheng didn't finish speaking, but Situ Yunmeng closed his eyes and shouted hoarsely: "Even if you take him back~!" He didn't have Mingjian Hall in his heart for a long time, without me! Without!!! ”

Yun Meng was suddenly emotional, which made everyone stunned, and Han Ye felt a little guilty in his heart, but Situ Sheng knew his daughter better, so he only said, "Daughter, let's talk about this when we go back." ”

Situ Yunmeng was so angry that her jade chest rose and fell, pulled out the phoenix hairpin on her head, the green silk spread out in the air like a waterfall, she put the hairpin against her white neck, and said: "Daddy, if you don't go with your daughter, your daughter will die for you!" ”

Seeing this, Han Ye got up and stepped forward to dissuade him: "Yunmeng, don't ...... like this"

"Shut up!" Situ Yunmeng scolded with a crying voice: "I don't want to see you and hear your voice again!" Han Ye, I want you to pay for everything you've done! ”

Xue Yan raised her neck and held her forehead and said, "Oops! What's going on? Can you all calm down? Yunmeng, you also think clearly, don't talk nonsense! ”

"I've thought it through." Situ Yunmeng glanced back at Xue Yan, her face was clearly full of tears, maybe she felt too embarrassed, she quickly retracted her face, shrugged her shoulders and cried: "Xue Yan, you don't have to pretend, in fact, you can't wait for me to go, so that you can fly with him, right?" Okay, it's wrong for me to stay with a straight face today, I'll go! After that, the phoenix hairpin under her hand used a little more force, and the red blood gushed out like a red rose, and she said to Situ Sheng on the side: "Dad, if you don't make up your mind, it's too late!" ”

Situ Sheng was so angry that he quickly stepped forward and snatched the hairpin from Yun Meng's hand, looked at Han Ye who was dazed, and then looked at Yun Meng, who was like a dead heart, stomped his feet fiercely, and said, "Huh! Cease! Cease! Let's go home, go home! Ignore this bastard! As he spoke, Situ Sheng took his daughter's hand and was about to leave angrily.

Han Ye was hesitant for three minutes and at a loss for seven points, but seeing that Situ Sheng was leaving, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Wait!" ”

Yun Meng didn't say anything again, just cried vigorously with his back to Han Ye, Situ Sheng's mood was extremely bad, and he sneered at Han Ye: "What? What else does Han Shaoxia have for advice? If not, our father and daughter will be gone. ”

Han Ye naturally wanted to be with Yun Meng, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Xue Yan on the side was in a hurry, and said angrily to Han Ye: "Stupid, you speak!" Don't let her just go! What's the point of her going back alone? ”

Han Ye thought of Situ Yunmeng, who had been locked up in Beiyuan for eight years, and couldn't help but say to her: "Yunmeng! What about going to find Xiaoyu together? ”

"I can't help it, Ah Ye!" Situ Yunmeng lowered his head and sighed bitterly: "If you refuse to go back with my father, how can he let me go with you again?" ”

Situ Sheng saw that Situ Yunmeng didn't speak, but said that she was too deeply injured by Han Ye, so he took her hand and walked out, and said coldly to Han Ye: "If you don't go back today, you don't have to go back to Ming Sword Hall in the future, Han Shaoxia." ”

At that moment, how much Han Ye wanted to catch up and pull Situ Yunmeng back? But when he thought that his family revenge had not been avenged and his teacher's kindness had not been returned, he was really unwilling to let go of these obsessions, so he hesitated after all.

"Ah Ye, I'm really sad today...... Although it was my own decision, you didn't even say a few words to keep it......" Situ Yunmeng closed her eyes in pain, tears slipped down her cheeks, fell to the ground, and turned into lotus flowers, the bleak wind blew Luo's long hair fluttering, she put her hands on her chest, and said in her heart: "There may only be so much I can do for you, I know that I won't be happy without you, but I am willing to ......"

Situ Yunmeng felt that his heart seemed to be empty, and his pace slowed down, Situ Sheng always felt that his old face was embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward and took his daughter's hand and left everyone's sight.

Han Ye watched people leave, and finally sat on the ground with a dull expression like a soulless body, and he said in his heart: "Yunmeng, what are you thinking?" Although I can't go back to the Ming Sword Hall with Uncle Situ, you can really come with me! Even if you run away? ”

"The surname is Han! How can you be so cowardly! My aunt and grandmother can't stand it anymore! Xue Yan looked at Han Ye angrily and said, "She came all the way to find you, you don't miss her love, you should also think that she blocked so many knives and treated so many injuries for you!" Go and chase her back! ”

Han Ye stared blankly ahead, and said, "What's the noise?" Didn't you always dislike her? Isn't it right for you that she's gone? ”

Xue Yan crossed her hands on her hips and said, "Do you think this woman is as wolf-hearted as you?" That's right, I don't like her, but if I don't like her anymore, she's also our companion! My daughter's family is already soft-hearted, if you grind her a few more words, she won't come back! ”

Han Ye was a little hesitant, but now that he went to chase Situ Sheng's father and daughter, where could he still catch up?

Xue Yan saw that Han Ye was indifferent, so he pulled the little monk and said angrily: "Little bald head, let's go, don't pay attention to this ruthless and unrighteous person!" You can take Yun Mengqi away today, and you can scold this girl tomorrow! Whoever is with him deserves bad luck! ”

The little monk scratched his head, not knowing what to do, but in the end he crossed the bridge with Xue Yan and left, leaving Han Ye alone to sit there in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, Han Ye came back to his senses and drank a sip of wine, got up, his stumbling body was a little ridiculous, and he sighed bitterly: "Han Ye, Yan'er is right, Yunmeng is gone, you will probably really regret it for the rest of your life." ”

However, Han Ye didn't plan to chase anymore, he looked at the jade pendant that was slightly glowing on his chest and walked into the distance......

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and during this time, Han Ye was so decadent that he almost didn't do anything, he often couldn't see anyone else in the wing, and when he came back, he must have been full of alcohol. Xue Yan didn't want to deal with Han Ye, and mixed with the little monk every day, but she was always more worried than happy.

On this day, Chengxin led Xue Yan to visit the grand Tallinn, and when it was almost dusk, Xue Yan was going back to the wing, so Chengxin sent her to a small garden in the east wing.

Cheng Xin continued: "Each relic pagoda in Tallinn contains the body of an elder seated, so in addition to the Mahavira Hall, Tallinn is the most revered place for our disciples in the temple. ”

"Isn't it just a grave?" Xue Yan touched Chengxin's head and said, "By the way, are you afraid of ghosts?" ”

"The pretty sister laughed." Chengxin raised his head and smiled and said, "The elders have all passed away from the world and become Buddhas, and their original mortal bodies will stay to guard here." As he spoke, Cheng Xin glanced at the dim sky and said to Xue Yan: "Master also told me that the ancestors in Tallinn were all good people in their lifetimes, and even if they became ghosts, they were good ghosts. ”

Xue Yan remembered Chen's bearded red hair and angry eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle: "That rough monk would also say such a thing?" ”

"Well, although Master is usually very fierce, he is very good to his own people." Chengxin said, looking at the remnant sun that was gradually descending the mountain in a daze, and confided: "Everyone said that I had no father when I was a child, and my mother was seriously ill when I was two years old, and she took me here to ask for adoption, and she died in a few days." Since then, the seniors in the temple have been taking care of me, especially the master, I heard the abbot say that the master used to be an unfilial son, and he caused trouble everywhere outside, and then his father and mother were angry to death, and he was very remorseful, so he came here to become a monk. So when he saw that I had no father or mother, he was very sad and accepted me as an apprentice. Chengxin seemed to be very grateful, paused, and continued: "Actually, the senior brothers and uncles all say that he values feelings, although he often scolds me and spans me, but one year I had smallpox, he thought I was going to die, and he cried so sadly, but it was not as sad as the time when Uncle Huiming died, I didn't know why such a big person still cried his nose, and later I heard the abbot say that a person only cries like that when he loses a loved one." ”

Xue Yan remembered the demeanor of Chen Yan when he angrily tugged at Han Ye's clothes, and suddenly felt that this rough monk was not so hateful, she sighed lightly: "Little bald head, your master treats you as his relative." ”

"yes, I know." Cheng Xin nodded and said, "So after I get well, I swear that I must listen to my master and make him less angry and sad." ”

"That's good." Xue Yan touched Chengxin's head again and asked, "By the way, my sister has always wanted to ask you a question, your Shenwu Temple should be the most powerful in Juekong in terms of Buddhism, right?" Or is it the monk Huiming who has passed away? ”

Chengxin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but my master said that I should be the one with the highest level of understanding in our temple." ”

"Is that you?" Xue Yanle touched Chengxin's head uncontrollably and said, "You are so stupid, you don't look like you have a high level of understanding, hehe." ”

Chengxin's little face turned red, his hands folded, and he read: "Ah Hello Lame Na, the monks don't speak." ”

Xue Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Huh?" What does that phrase mean by that recitation? ”

Cheng Xin looked at Xue Yan childishly, and said: "Beautiful sister, this 'Ah Lo Lame Na' is the Manjushri five-character mantra that the abbot taught me to recite, and it can also be pronounced as 'Hum Alabazhana', the abbot said that this is because the Sanskrit transliteration is different, the so-called Ah Lo Lame Na, Ah is without birth and righteousness, the lame one is pure and unstained, free from the dust and dirt, the lame one has no first truth, all the laws are equal, the one has no deeds, the Na has no sexual appearance, and words and words cannot be obtained...... ①”

Xue Yan had a headache when she heard the Buddhist scriptures, and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "Okay, okay, my sister can't listen to this thing, let's talk about something else, don't talk about Buddhist scriptures." ”

"Oh." Chengxin nodded and said, "Beautiful sister, the abbot said that Manjushri Bodhisattva is the embodiment of wisdom, and if I recite this five-character mantra every day, the Bodhisattva will bless me to grow up and become wiser." ”

Xue Yan smiled, her hand touching Chengxin's head didn't stop, and she said lovingly: "It's not that you will become smart if you recite a few words of mantra, little bald." ”

"Sincerity is spirituality, Manjushri will feel it." Cheng Xin looked at the sky for a while, the sun had completely set, and he said to Xue Yan: "Sister, I'm going back, you can rest well, by the way, that big brother seems to be in a bad mood recently, he may need your care, don't be angry with him." ”

Xue Yan smiled, waved to Chengxin, and said, "I know, go back quickly." ”

Xue Yan watched Chengxin leave, and then walked to her room, her heart was full of things, she pushed open the door and fell on the bed, quietly looked at the top of the bed and said, "Yunmeng, you are gone, I don't know why, I am really a little reluctant." Xue Yan closed her beautiful eyes, and said with her head in her heart: "What the fool doesn't understand, I understand, you want to fulfill the fool, so you have to sacrifice yourself?" You like him so much, why would you suddenly say you want to leave? I'd rather give up myself for him, this affection, even I, Xue Yan, asked myself if it was difficult to do...... Don't worry, Yunmeng, before you come back, I will definitely take good care of the dumb melon...... Certain! ”

Xue Yan thought about it for a long time, the sky was completely dark, the cold moonlight quietly cast into the room from the window, the strange evening breeze gradually rose, shaking the doors and windows creaked, as if to rush in and bite everything it hated, the oil lamp also became extremely restless, and did not stop dancing on the wall in a ghostly posture.

Just when Xue Yan was confused and uneasy in her heart, there was a terrifying scream from outside the room, "Woo woo", there was the low cry of a girl in pain, "Uh-uh-uh", and there was also the dull roar of a resentful man.

Xue Yan had palpitations for a while, and subconsciously looked out the window, but saw several inhuman spirits dressed in white outside, each holding a lantern with a faint green fire in their hands, floating forward, looming in the moonlight, bizarre and weird.

"Ghost ......!" Xue Yan raised her heart to her throat and almost screamed loudly, but she was alert and immediately covered her mouth with her hands, climbed onto the bed and retracted into the quilt, and said with trembling all over her body: "Don't come here, don't come over!" Ghost brothers and sisters, there are unjust debtors and owners, although I usually steal and cheat, but I have never harmed anyone~! ”

Those ghosts didn't seem to have much interest in Xue Yan, and when Xue Yan secretly looked at the windowsill through the cracks in the quilt, they were no longer there.

"Whew~!" Xue Yan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but then she thought about it: "It's not good, the stupid melon is still outside!" ”

Xue Yan got up and just wanted to go out, but he put his hand on the door and hesitated for a moment, finally fighting against the fear in his heart.

"Damn! I clearly promised in my heart to take care of him, and die to die! Xue Yan gritted her teeth, turned her heart sideways, pushed the door and rushed out.

Out of the room, Xue Yan ran briskly through the two rows of rooms, only to realize that there were really not many unjust souls outside, these unjust souls were cold and gloomy, and they all carried lanterns and moved towards the northwest direction, completely ignoring Xue Yan's existence.

"This stupid melon, where did he run away at this time!" Xue Yan's fear gradually subsided, and she began to care about the safety of others, she jumped lightly onto the eaves, and while observing her feet, her body was a little faster.

When he walked out of the east chamber, the ghosts going to the northwest were already as dense as a white river, and the moaning sound was boiling to the sky, Xue Yan frowned and said: "There are so many ghosts that suddenly appeared, and they all went in one direction, but they didn't care about those living people on the road, their purpose is obviously not ordinary people, since they are absolutely safe, I might as well follow these ghosts to see what is going on?" ”

Xue Yan nodded secretly, following the "Ghost River", those ghosts were still honest in the east chamber, and the closer they got to the northwest, the more restless they became, the female ghosts cried in pain, the male ghosts beat their chests and wailed, Xue Yan couldn't stand the noise from them, so she could only follow from afar.

Xue Yan thought about the layout of Shenwu Temple, the south is Tallinn, the treasury, and the Zhai room, and the north is the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Inner Temple.

"Are these ghosts crazy?" Xue Yan frowned and muttered, "Why are you messing with those monks?" ”

The situation was just as Xue Yan expected, all the ghosts accelerated their speed more and more, and after bypassing the Daxiong Treasure Hall, they let out a piercing and terrible roar, rushing towards the inner temple like a tide!

Although Xue Yan had expected the result, seeing so many ghosts calamating Shenwu Temple really startled her, and soon she remembered something, and her eyes widened and exclaimed: "That's right! Little bald! The little bald head is still inside! ”

As soon as Xue Yan thought that Chengxin was about to be bullied by the ghosts, she was immediately anxious, and jumped into the red wall of the inner temple.

Xue Yan's worries were by no means unnecessary, these ghosts obviously had a deep grudge against the monks of Shenwu Temple, and they rushed into the houses where the monks were resting, sucking the spirits of the sleeping monks to their heart's content.

Of course, there are many monks who wake up in shock, and there are also many monks who have not slept at all, they have picked up the magic weapon in their hands to collect ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, it is only a moment of work, from south to north, the inner temple is gradually brightly lit, the screams of the unjust ghosts and the angry shouts of the monks are everywhere, and the camps on both sides are in a fight!

Chengxin stayed alone in the room, and when he heard the sound outside the door, he wanted to go out to see, but as soon as he opened the door, the wind suddenly rose, and three cold-eyed souls rushed in.

"Monk...... Kill the monk! A male ghost saw a green light in Chengxin's eyes.

"Monk, I'm so miserable! Give me your head! Another female ghost flew towards Cheng Xin with her long tongue outstretched.

Chengxin has lived in the temple for a long time, he has never seen such a terrifying scene, his legs are weak, and he sits on the ground with his buttocks, and the three fierce ghosts take a step forward, he moves back a little, and suddenly feels that there is a cold thing behind him blocking the back road, he turns his head to see, it is to the root of the wall.

Cheng Cheng was discouraged, wiped the tears of panic on his face with his hands, and a sense of fear pressed on his heart, so he had to recite the five-character mantra and said, "Ah Hello Lame Na! Hello Lame Na! Bodhisattva save me! ”

At this moment, a blue shadow came out of the gap between the three ghosts, and his back to Chengxin blocked in front of the three ghosts. Look at the familiar back: the blue man costume, long silk hair, fluttering ribbons, warm and tough, exquisite and brave!

"Beautiful sister! There you are! Cheng Xin couldn't help but shout with joy.

"Little bald! I told you earlier, it's useless to recite those five words. Let my sister protect you! Xue Yan blinked beautifully, the scene of Feng Ru saving her at a critical moment appeared in her mind, the chivalry in her heart bloomed in her eyes, she clenched her fists and looked at the three ghosts, and said: "What kind of ability is it to bully children, is there a kind of trick with my aunt and grandmother?" ”

The three ghosts were previously stagnant by Xue Yan who suddenly appeared, but at this moment they came back to their senses and continued to pounce on the two, Xue Yan's heart was like a mirror, and he touched his waist with his slender hand, turned out three plum blossom darts, threw them in one go, and each of the three darts hit the heads of the three ghosts. However, the ghosts had no entity, and the plum blossom dart hit them directly through them and nailed them to the door wall.

"Ordinary tricks don't work for them, alas, it would be nice if that guy Yunmeng was here, you might as well go out and meet up with the fool first." Xue Yan was extremely alert, and hurriedly took Chengxin into her arms, and rushed out of the house in one breath without waiting for the three ghosts to make trouble.

Outside, Xue Yan didn't dare to stop, surrounded by fighting ghosts and monks, the slightest carelessness would be drawn into the battle, because of a child in his arms, Xue Yan's movements were obviously much slower, and he didn't run far before he was out of breath.

When he arrived in a small forest, Cheng Xin in Xue Yan's arms blushed and said, "Sister, you better let me go, the senior brothers are all facing the enemy, I should help them." ”

"Little bald head, will you become a hero at a young age?" Xue Yan gasped and said with a wry smile: "Sister still wants to be a chivalrous woman, but unfortunately these ghosts can't deal with it, those senior brothers of yours were attacked by a group of ghosts, and it's too late to protect themselves, my sister can't take this risk with you, let's meet that stupid brother first." ”

Suddenly, there was a noisy ghost cry around the forest, and by the time Xue Yan sensed the danger, it was too late, and hundreds of ghosts came through the woods to her side!

"It's broken, it's broken, why is there more!" Xue Yan had to hug Chengxin tightly in a panic and desperately think of a way.

The words were divided into two ends, the depressed Han Yeben sat on a certain roof and drank, and when he saw the ghosts that kept flocking to the inner temple, he wanted to follow him to find out, and this time he happened to pass by the forest, and saw Xue Yan with a clear heart in his arms, and suddenly a picture flashed in his mind, a bloodied person desperately saved a boy from the mouth of a powerful monster......

This situation and this scene were similar to those days, he couldn't help Han Ye not wake up, his eyes suddenly widened, and the Xuanyuan True Qi in his whole body unintentionally boiled, the purple qi surging between the liver and gallbladder, and the magic sword also shook happily because of the strong battle intent, and a purple spell appeared on it.

Han Ye held the magic sword in one hand, and the other hand was in the direction of the ghost, and shouted, "Break!" ”

When it was too late, the dark clouds in the sky gathered, and a thunderbolt flashed down from the clouds, hitting the group of fierce ghosts.

"Uh-huh!" The nearest ghosts were scattered in an instant.

Everyone was wondering, but they saw a handsome man dragging a big sword and walking out from the depths in a cold and calm manner. The ghosts seemed to see something fearful in this man, and as the man walked step by step, they retreated little by little, and finally gave up the encirclement of Xue Yan.

Han Ye walked to Xue Yan's side, and said coldly to the ground without turning his head: "If you don't have the ability, don't be strong, Xue Nuxia." ”

Xue Yan was stunned when she heard this, then raised her eyebrows, and said to Han Ye: "Hmph, why don't you drink alcohol?" Go drink it! Drink you bastard! ”

"I don't have time to argue with you." Han Ye was righteous and awe-inspiring, arrogant to the ghosts, and said, "Let's solve this group of miscellaneous things first." ”

"This girl doesn't have time to be angry with you." Xue Yan said, holding the heart in her arms, and said confidently: "You can't take all the limelight." ”

"Sister...... Brother...... Thank you. Cheng Xin looked at the two of them with extra warmth, and two faint golden lights flashed in his eyes.
