I don't know how many days the time has passed, the east has turned slightly white, and the procession to and from the town has not decreased, and the sound of horse bells or camel bells can be heard from time to time.

In the room on the second floor of the inn, Night Terror Hall got up and put on his robe lightly, and his eyes were full of smiles.

On the bed next to them, Ben Ben and Ning Er were exhausted, leaning together like difficult sisters and sisters, closing their eyes and gasping softly.

And Sanniang's situation is better, but her cheeks are red and lying on her side, the thin blanket is covered on her chest, she looks at the two useless girls next to her, and teases softly:

"Just now one raced and one fierce, and now this is lying down?"

Ning Er's face was slightly gloomy, and she clenched her small fists, but she didn't dare to quarrel with Sanniang at this time, but she snorted and didn't hear it.

And Dongfang Liren didn't care about the ridiculous tone because Sanniang helped to resist the output, but just responded calmly:

"It's been tossed all night, and there are important things to do during the day, spare him this time, and talk about it next time."

The Night Terror Hall had already died down, and when he heard Stupid's words, he was naturally unhappy, and then turned around again, wanting to pet Stupid again.

Dongfang Liren's heart tightened when he saw this, and he hurriedly made a look of not being angry and arrogant, and raised his hand to hug the fat dragon dragon.

Night Terror Hall was amused by his stupid and nervous appearance, lowered his head condescendingly, and picked his chin:

"Huh?"

“……”

Dongfang Liren felt that the Night Terror Hall was really presumptuous, but the good prince didn't suffer the immediate loss, and he still raised his head and pouted on the face of the Night Terror Hall at the moment.

The Night Terror Hall was satisfied, and after a few more sips back and forth, he raised his hand to help cover the thin quilt and quietly walked out of the room.

At this time, the sky was almost bright, and the catchers on duty inside and outside the inn had already changed shifts, and they could see a few catchers, resting on the floor in the lobby.

And She Long had already slept once, and was sitting at the table at this time, with a teapot and melon seeds and peanuts in front of him, chatting with Lord Bird:

"So, Lord Night is in the Witch Horse Department, and he was really bitten by a divine dog?"

"Twitter ......"

The bird squatted on the table, nodding like pecking rice.

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall curled the corners of his mouth, and did not go down to disturb, but first patrolled the aisle.

Because it was still early, Hua Qingzhi had not woken up yet, and she could hear even breathing at the door.

Night Terror listened at the door for a while, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he came to the outside of the hand warmer's room.

He thought that Huai Yan should not have woken up so early, but when he came to the door, he vaguely found that there was light in the room, and after a while, he could hear the sound of "rustling~" paper turning.

？

The night terror was stunned for a moment, and then silently opened the door and glanced in.

As a result, I saw that the tent where the bed in the room was put down, and the dim light was shining through the gap, and a round and jade silhouette could be seen on the tent.

As a person who came over, Night Terror naturally understood what Huai Yan was doing, so he shook his head secretly, quietly walked into the house, came to the window, and opened the tent slightly.

The queen mother's status is noble, although the bed in the inn has not been changed, but the bedding is brought by the team, the fabric is excellent embroidered with golden moire, the outside looks ordinary, but the inside can be called magnificent.

At this time, above the pillow, there is a small copper lamp with a glass cover, only the size of a fist, from the shape of the shape, or the Queen Mother privately let the craftsman specially made, burning not lamp oil, but special fuel, although the light is not strong, but there is no smoke, but with a faint fragrance, it should be specially prepared for hiding at night to read books secretly.

In the middle of summer, the night is not cool, Huaiyan only wears a light silk quilt around the waist, and the upper body is a dark red colorful phoenix belly pocket, the style is more conservative, but it can't stand the proportions of the body, in the case of lying on the side, you can see the full half-arc on the side of the belly pocket, the white shoulders and familiar cheeks, and it also looks blown and broken against the backdrop of the light.

Night Terror Hall took a closer look, and saw that Huai Yan's face was slightly red and he was very fascinated, but he didn't notice him behind him, so he lowered his body and got a little closer, and read the idle book together......

The Empress Dowager was lying on the pillow, holding a book in her hand, and was watching the Empress Dowager Yan listen to the government, but the plot of being secretly touched by the rebellious bad lover suddenly came from behind her waist, and she shook suddenly:

"Woo......"

Night Terror hurriedly covered his mouth and whispered:

"Shhh

“？”

The Queen Mother saw that the dirty thing that suddenly appeared was her lover, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised her hand and hit the shoulder of the Night Terror:

"I'm scared to death ...... Hongu"

Night Terror's eyes were full of smiles, and he sat down next to him and pinched his face:

"Why are you hiding and reading again? It's not good for the eyes. ”

The Queen Mother has practiced the fire bath diagram for so many years, where would she worry about this, but the lover cared, she still closed the book very obediently:

"I woke up just now and couldn't sleep, so I just turned it out and took a look."

"Something?"

"I don't have anything to worry about, it's just empty, and I think about it......"

"Spring boudoir unbearable?"

"Sigh~"

The Queen Mother raised her hand and lightly slapped the night terror, and her cheeks turned away:

"You're just a spring boudoir."

"Hehe......"

Seeing that the hand warmer was very energetic, and he didn't mean to sleep back, he took off his shoes and sat on the bed, and lifted the silk quilt.

？

The Queen Mother was stunned, her hands curled up on her chest, and her eyes became nervous:

"You...... What do you do? ”

Seeing this cowardly appearance, the Night Terror Hall pretended to be strong:

"What do you say?"

The Queen Mother blinked, her face turned red rapidly, and she didn't dare to speak a little, and she muttered like a mosquito and a fly for a while:

"Ben...... The main palace is nothing, it's just this place......"

Night Terror shook his head and smiled, turned the Queen Mother over and lay on her stomach, took the skin care cream from the bedside, and wiped it in the palm of her hand:

"Lying down all day without exercise, there is nowhere to vent my energy, and I definitely can't sleep well at night. I helped my mother massage it, and when my muscles and bones relaxed, I naturally didn't have insomnia. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also a little skeptical, and looked back and said:

"You're going to do this?"

"Martial artists can do it, I used to help Shui'er massage, and Shui'er was full of praise."

"Really......"

The Queen Mother lay flat on the pillow, the two sides were naturally flat, feeling the temperature of the palm, and found that it was indeed very comfortable to be neither light nor heavy, and the tension in her heart gradually disappeared, closed her eyes and thought about it for a while, and whispered:

"Time flies, we've known each other for more than a year......"

"Yes, I remember that the first time I met the Queen Mother, it was under the Mingyu Building. At that time, I was stupid and wanted to give you Mr. Horn, you said that you were a big girl with yellow flowers, how could you ask for that kind of thing......"

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, turned around and said shyly:

"You were eavesdropping outside?"

"It's not eavesdropping, it's just passing downstairs, and I just heard two sentences, and I was caught by Lord Meng......"

"This palace has never used that kind of thing, it's the yellow flower girl...... Huh? ”

As soon as the Queen Mother relaxed, she found that the Night Terror Hall pulled down her thin pants, causing the full moon like a shelled egg to appear in the candlelight, and she hurriedly raised her hand to cover it:

"You ......"

Night Terror Hall pulled his little hand away and admired the moonlight by the light:

"If you are sick, you don't want to be a doctor, just treat me as a doctor, and I won't mess around."

"Are you still messing around?"

The Queen Mother put her legs together, and when she saw that the night terror hall was not broken, she took a step back:

"It's only like this, if you mess around again, you can't help but do ......"

Night Terror Hall can faintly see a glimmer of beauty when he looks down, in fact, he can't help it now, but in order to leave a perfect memory for Huai Yan, he didn't rush it, just said softly:

"I used to come down from the snowy mountain, and I said that I would go into the palace to accompany you every day, so that you don't have to live the days of being alone in the boudoir before, but now I can't see me for a month, so you can't sleep well at night......"

The Queen Mother tilted her head and interrupted the words:

"Say what? You are serving the country, if it weren't for the situation, you would like to stay at home every day, how could this palace not even understand this...... In fact, I am all good, the Qin family is a general, I have seen many wives of generals, and their husbands went to other places as soon as they entered the door, and it is common to wait for several years, and some even go without returning. Therefore, the hearts of the women of the house of the gate are set on their children......"

"What, you want to give me a baby again?"

"Sigh~ ...... you want to be beautiful"

……

The two chatted like this, and the sky brightened up unconsciously.

Under the gentle and thoughtful technique, the Queen Mother relaxed her whole body, and she was pressed to fall asleep, and her speech became a match.

Seeing that the hand warmer was relaxed, his legs were no longer tightly together, and he turned his head to carefully look at the delicate flowers under the moon for a moment, and then raised his hand and patted it:

Bang Bang~

"It's dawn, it's time to go."

"Huh?"

The Queen Mother woke up and hurriedly pulled up the silk quilt:

"You get out of here, what should I do if I am seen......"

A moment later, Heiya's team gathered outside the inn, and the charcoal red horse was also brought over, and Night Terror Hall and She Long and others ordered the next itinerary.

The Queen Mother and Sanniang Ning'er were a little unnatural because of the chaos at night, and they got into the carriage without saying a word after going out.

After Dongfang relieved himself, his stupid momentum came back, and he stood in the corridor on the second floor with his hands in wait.

In the room, Hua Qingzhi was naturally the slowest to clean up because of the inconvenience of her legs and feet, and there was no green bead to serve by her side. After washing, Hua Qingzhi walked out with the door and found the queen standing outside the door, bowing her head:

"Your Highness."

Dongfang Liren turned around at this time, and his expression was not fierce, but he just came to him and held Hua Qingzhi's arm very intimately:

"Let's go. He has already told this king about Miss Hua and the Night Terrors......"

"Huh?"

Hua Qingzhi originally maintained a soft and generous demeanor, but when she heard this, her expression stiffened slightly:

"What did Yegongzi and His Highness say?"

“……”

Dongfang Liren sent the night terror hall down to sort out the team in the morning, she waited here, just to talk, seeing Hua Qingzhi showing a nervous and cramped expression, she knew that she had taken the bait.

She didn't know what happened to the two, so she glanced at Hua Qingzhi:

"What did he say, Miss Hua herself didn't know? Miss Hua doesn't have to be cramped, this king is not a jealous person......"

"Your Highness."

Hua Qingzhi saw that the queen had misunderstood, and even had the intention of accepting her as a child, so she hurriedly explained:

"Your Highness must have misunderstood. I was in Panlong Cave, and I saw that Yegongzi was about to drown, so I gave him a ......"

Dongfang was stunned:

"Washiki?"

“？”

Hua Qingzhi was not stupid, seeing the queen's puzzled expression, she instantly understood that she had been fooled.

Seeing that she was set up by the queen, Hua Qingzhi's expression stiffened slightly, but in order to move the situation back, she reacted very quickly, mainly anti-guest, and half-jokingly:

"Isn't Your Highness jealous?"

Dongfang Liren really didn't expect this little girl to dare to rebel against her, so she stood up straight and frowned:

"What do you mean? How could this prince be jealous of this little thing? Now that we have a skin-to-skin relationship, we ...... from now on."

Hua Qingzhi raised her hand slightly: "Your Highness misunderstood." At that time, the night boy took the wrong medicine, and his face was colorless and fell into the water, and he didn't move, so I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I went into the water to give him a breath. This move is just to save people, and there is no other thought. ”

Dongfang Liren saw that the two of them had kissed each other, and he didn't believe what he didn't think about at all. However, Hua Qingzhi said this, she still asked:

"Miss Hua's innocence has been ruined in order to save the Night Terrors, and she can't go home, if she doesn't have any other meaning, what should she do in the future?"

Hua Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and sighed lightly:

"I'm just a weak woman, and I can't help myself, and I don't know where to go. The only thought at the moment is nothing more than to find Xue Baijin to reason and vent his anger. ”

Dongfang is inexplicably detached:

"What does this have to do with Xue Baijin?"

Hua Qingzhi said softly: "I have fallen to this point, it was all made by Xue Baijin, so naturally I have to reason with her......

Dongfang Liren is actually quite sensitive to Xue Baijin, after all, this aunt and grandmother have been ranked first on the black government bounty list all the year round, not to mention her, even her sister dares to fight, if she really wants to enter the door in the future, she is afraid that she will have to become - only when Xue Baijin is not at home, she can be called the boss......

Isn't that a monkey......

No, there is a sister here, what is this king afraid of?

Hua Qingzhi has a skin kiss, and there is a high probability that she will not be able to run away in the future, and now she has difficulties, so as a big house, she naturally has to put out the gaseous state that she should have......

After Dongfang Liren thought about it a little, like a big sister in charge, he patted Hua Qingzhi's shoulder:

"Don't worry, Xue Baijin's matter, this king will make the decision for you."

？

Hua Qingzhi blinked, she didn't really believe that the queen could be the master of Xue Baijin, and the empress said it was pretty much the same.

But a number of comrades-in-arms who were beaten together are better than many opponents who treat her as a rival in love, Hua Qingzhi still said at the moment:

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

……

——

Shazhou, Thousand Buddha Temple.

The distant bell in the early morning, on the smooth mirror-like water surface, reflects the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree in the water.

Zen Master Shenchen was dressed in a robe, sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, turning a rosary in his hand, closing his eyes and tapping the wooden fish in front of him:

Knock knock knock......

Eight futons, the first three and the last five are divided into two rows, and they are placed outside the Shenchen Zen master.

Some of the people sitting on it have shaved and scarred, and some have long hair and scattered beards, but their postures are uniform, and they all maintain a meditative posture and meditate seriously.

In other places in the rivers and lakes, if you can practice with the master of a faction, you should be a disciple of the head of the family, but it is obviously different in the Thousand Buddha Temple.

This place is called the Confession Pool, and the people of the rivers and lakes usually call it the Thunder Pool, because if you come in, you will never recover. There are still precedents for peripheral miscellaneous servants to escape, but no one has ever been able to leave here, and only these people are qualified to let Shenchen Zen Master personally persuade them.

The eight people present are of different ages, some are once famous heroes, and some are small people who have escaped into the empty door before they have even emerged, and there is almost no overlap in identity and age, but all of them are extremely talented.

If all these eight people are smooth sailing and have been wandering the rivers and lakes, they may even be rewritten in the list of martial arts of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

For example, the old man in the center of the front, named Bian Yuanlie, called 'Nine Zhuan Tianluo', was forty years old, was a close confidant under Emperor Yan Gong, and studied art in Yun'an when he was young, and among the people who instructed him, there was the 'Marquis of Wu'an' Fengguancheng at that time.

It's a pity that Bian Yuanlie was just thirty years old, and his wings were not completely hardened, so he encountered the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom, and Crazy Tooth, Sun Wuji, King Tianlang and other heroes gathered in Yun'an and launched an encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the imperial court.

Bian Yuanlie was one of the warriors who stood on the side of Dayan at that time, killing more than 100 righteous soldiers, countless chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes, still invincible to the general trend, after Emperor Yan Gong fled south, he escaped from the siege and fled to the northwest, and defected to Huang Liansheng's grandfather, that is, the Shazhou Taishou who established himself as the 'King of Shatuo'.

It's a pity that after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the army had not yet come, and the king of Shatuo was frightened and led his troops to escape into the desert, which evolved into today's Shatuo Department.

Bian Yuanlie tried to help Shatuo and design to recapture Shazhou, but his luck was not good, and when he came to Shazhou to exert force pressure and force the Thousand Buddha Temple to defect, he ran head-on into a little bald donkey who had just come out of the mountain, and he was removed from the list of the rivers and lakes, which is more than 50 years!

For more than 50 years, Bian Yuanlie has not been imprisoned in shackles, nor has he restricted him from eating, sleeping, practicing martial arts, and even if there is something he can't figure out about martial arts, he went to consult Monk Shenchen, and Monk Shenchen answered all questions, but he just didn't let him go.

Bian Yuanlie knew that there was only one way to leave the Thousand Buddha Temple - to kill the bald donkey in front of him.

But he couldn't do it, no matter how hard he practiced, pushed himself to the limit, and even felt that he had practiced to the point of being invincible, he couldn't shake this monk in the slightest!

Knock knock knock......

In the sound of the wooden fish, everyone sat still, but the lake next to it suddenly had a slight ripple.

Zen Master Shenchen paused, opened his eyes, looked at a monk sitting in the corner behind him, and asked softly:

"Enlightenment, why is the heart not quiet?"

The people present who have not yet been shaved are all stubborn in their minds; And those who have already been ordained, those who do not want to leave, or who give up struggling, will be given the 'Dharma name' just like the pure space monks.

The monk who was called enlightenment opened his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he responded:

"Some time ago, I was copying scriptures in the pagoda, and I happened to see a woman in Tsing Yi in the town outside the temple, who looked like an old man."

"What happened back then, haven't you put it down yet?"

Wu Nian bowed down and said: "If there is a cause, there will be an effect, and if there is evil, there will be retribution." The disciple's retribution has not yet come, how can he let go of it with peace of mind? I also hope that the master can allow the disciple to leave the temple, but this cause and effect is over. ”

Shenchen Zen Master shook his head and sighed:

"As a teacher, he is not a monk, just a layman, and he doesn't have your Buddha heart. If you go out of this gate, you are destined to not be able to come back alive, and you will not agree to be a teacher; But if you don't let you go, your heart is not quiet, and you can't cultivate this Buddha. Let's accompany you on a trip as a teacher, whether you live or die, it depends on your creation. ”

Wunian bowed his head deeply, and then stood up.

Bian Yuanlie, who was sitting in front, saw that the Shenchen monk was about to leave, and said;

"Little bald donkey, I've heard you knock on the wooden fish for fifty years, and now there are four out of ninety, and my life is short, can you be extrajudicial and merciful, let me also untie the knot, and end up with a beginning and an end?"

Monk Shenchen's gaze turned to Bian Yuanlie, and he bowed slightly:

"Master Bian, please speak."

Bian Yuanlie touched the gray hair hanging down from his sideburns:

"I, Bian Yuanlie, am from a wealthy family in Yun'an, I have been cultivated by the saint since I was a child, I hold important positions in official residences, and my hands are dyed with countless lives, so I am not a good person. But from beginning to end, I have been Dayan's eagle dog, ordered to do things, and have never betrayed my master.

"If I had known that I would be imprisoned here for fifty years, living like a nameless wild dog, I would never have escaped from Yun'an back then, and I would have died under Sun Wuji's sword in a dignified manner, and I would have been loyal in this life.

"Now that his life is not long away, there is no hope of recovering the country, and dominating the rivers and lakes has become empty talk. Can you let me out, as a Great Yan Martial Artist, and fight for the court again? In this way, when I died, this life has a beginning and an end, and when I arrived at Jiuquan, my colleagues asked me what I had done in more than 50 years, and I could also have an explanation. ”

Monk Shenchen said: "If the old man agrees, won't he become a sinner who allows you to bring disaster to the world?" ”

Bian Yuanlie knew that this bald donkey would not agree, so he said:

"Then you tell the court to let them take me back and behead me as the remnant of Dayan. Dying under the Great Wei knife can also be regarded as atonement for the past, and it is better than dying here in old age. ”

If the Shenchen monk has no head:

"Although Master Bian has no Buddha heart, he can say this, and he can see the past clearly. The old man takes you to meet someone and let you get what you want. ”

When Bian Yuanlie heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe it at all, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked:

"Are you sure? I am the stake for your practice, you know the depth of martial arts, you really killed people by mistake, you can be stained with cause and effect. ”

Monk Shenchen also spoke directly:

"The old man is watching from the side, you can kill it, but you can't kill it."

“……”

When Bian Yuanlie heard this, he almost spit on the bald donkey, after all, he could kill the other party, this is not obvious.

However, after being imprisoned in the temple for more than 50 years, this bald donkey did not kill him, and it was not easy to die if he wanted to.

As long as he is willing to let him out, even if he can only be beaten to death, he can show what he has learned all his life before he dies, and it will not be in vain to cultivate in this ghost place for a lifetime.

For this reason, Bian Yuanlie still said happily:

"Okay, who are you going to deal with? Lu Taiqing's calf nose? ”

"No, Night Terror."

"Which onion is Night Terror? Haven't heard of it. ”

"The rookie in the rivers and lakes, nineteen this year, only emerged last year."

“？”

Bian Yuanlie was still gearing up and couldn't wait, but when he heard this, it was like being poured a basin of cold water:

"You bald donkey, a nineteen-year-old little kid who hasn't even grown hair, you let the old man deal with it? Or can you only be beaten to death? You don't want the old man to go, just say it, why bother to humiliate ......"

"Master Bian has not asked about the world for many years, so he will understand when he goes out to inquire a few words. If you don't dare to go, just if the old man didn't say it, he will live in the temple in peace in the future. ”

"The old man doesn't dare to go?! The old man is begging for death, how else can he get it? Don't leave all the corpses for the old man? ”

Zen Master Shenchen smiled and said nothing, just stood up and walked out with a Zen staff......
