Chapter 9 The Broken Temple
Gu Ying tied the horse under the eaves of the temple, walked into the broken temple with a knife in his hand, and thought to himself, didn't he commit Tai Sui recently?
The front foot was almost cut by the king of Chuang in the capital, and the back foot went out of the city to go far, and there was no store in front of the village, and it took a lot of effort to get here in the rain.
"You can't catch the cold."
Gu Ying muttered to herself, took out flint and velvet from her arms, and was about to find some wood branches and firewood in the temple.
"Friend, hiding from the rain? Here's a story. ”
"I rub, who is talking?" Gu Ying, who was already chattering, was shocked by this sentence and had goosebumps all over her body, and pulled out the knife, rubbing the blade against the scabbard, making a "swish" sound.
Chongzhen's ears were tipped, and he heard the sound of a knife drawing, knowing that this person was afraid that he was not good at stubble, and he could not stimulate the other party, so he said slowly:
"The black lights in the temple are blind, I'm really sorry, the three of us are also rushing here at night to avoid the rain, if your friends don't dislike it, you might as well get together and get warmer."
Hearing this, Gu Ying's tense mood eased a little, but he still remained vigilant, although he didn't know a single big character, but he still understood the truth that it was indispensable to guard against people.
Holding a knife, he walked slowly in the direction of his voice, and by a glimmer of moonlight, he could vaguely see the three people sitting behind the Buddha statue, so he asked, "Why don't you make a fire?" What about pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night? ”
"I was in a hurry to go out, and I forgot to bring the things that made the fire."
"Oh? Where are you in a hurry, you going? ”
"Shanxi."
Hearing Chongzhen say that he was going to Shanxi, Gu Ying paused for two seconds before asking again: "I heard that you have a Gyeonggi accent, what are you doing in Shanxi?"
Chongzhen saw his reaction, and thought that since he could come here, he should go with him, although he couldn't see the appearance of the dress clearly, but he rode a horse with a saber and walked at night, and came from the direction of the capital.. So he made up his mind and decided to deceive him.
"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, brother, I'm from the capital, and I heard that my brother got a lot of wealth in Datong, so I gave up my family business to go to the capital."
"Great wealth? How do you say that? ”
"Brother, do you know that King Chuang has entered Beijing?"
"That's nature."
"Hey, King Chuang became the emperor, and my brother naturally became very rich."
At this time, Gu Ying had already walked in front of the three of them, and Chongzhen's words aroused his interest. I thought, damn it, I've been with King Chuang for so many years, and the situation in the camp is clear, and let me try you, if it's a fraud, it's all slaughtered.
Then he asked, "Do you mean that your brother is with King Chuang?" What is his name, and in which battalion is he an officer? ”
Chongzhen heard this, and knew that this person must have broken into the army, but he didn't know why he was alone here, and was there any accomplice behind him? However, his words and words could not stand scrutiny, and he categorically could not answer his questions.
"Don't mention it, what kind of heroes are in the camp, and my green-skinned brother is also worthy? Not to mention following the king, it's just running errands for other adults to see the house. ”
"What's your last name? Say it. When Gu Ying heard that it was for adults to show the house, she remembered what the military advisor said before leaving, so coincidentally?
Chongzhen's words changed, "Ho, I said, what about your fucking interrogator?" Didn't you really pinch my three brothers as soft persimmons? ”
The Taoist didn't say a word from beginning to end, Wang Chengen was smart, his voice sank, and he picked it up: "Big brother, talk nonsense with him?" If you want to fight, you will fight! ”
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and Gu Ying does not know the depth of the other party. Listening to this meaning is still a splash of the line, a bit of fist and foot kung fu body, this place is narrow, with one enemy three, the real fight may not be able to fall well.
Moreover, maybe there is an old one in the military division's mansion.
So he put away the knife, turned it into a smiling face, and said: "Alas, brother, don't blame, there is something to say, but I am reckless, so let's make a fire for everyone and warm up."
Seeing Gu Ying like this, Chongzhen did enough to play, and scolded Wang Chengen: "What are you fighting? If you hadn't lost your horse and luggage, would Lao Tzu be able to starve with you in this temple? Useless stuff. ”
Wang Chengen said yes again and again, Gu Ying picked up the wood, and echoed: "I have some food on me, so I'll give some to the brothers in a while."
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, he had been hungry for two days, and he only fed himself with turf, no matter what the situation was later, he was satisfied that he could eat something.
"Snort", the spark jumped out of the frictional flint, lit the velvet, Gu Ying carefully pinched it and put it in the erected pyre, blowing gently.
The firewood found in the temple was a little damp, and it was not easy to make a fire, Gu Ying supported the ground with her hands, and she was so busy that she was sweating profusely.
Taking the dry food and dried meat distributed by Gu Ying, Chongzhen and Wang Chengen ate it by themselves, and the Taoist, who had not spoken, thanked him and devoured it.
The firelight flickered, and Gu Ying took this opportunity to look at the three people in front of him. Two of them were covered with several layers of rotten clothes, like homeless people, and the other was a Taoist, carrying a wooden box and holding a banner in his hand, on which were written the four big characters of plum blossom god calculation.
Chongzhen pretended to only care about the food in his hand on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly spying on Gu Ying, and there was a murderous motive behind the current harmony.
Just when Gu Ying was hesitant about Chongzhen's identity, Chongzhen didn't raise his head while eating the cake, and said with a grin: "Daoist, give you a cake word, calculate what this brother's surname is."
The Taoist swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head, and said, "Cakes, grains and grains."
Gu Ying was surprised when she heard this, and immediately said to Chongzhen: "Yo, your brother still has such ability?" My real name is Gu! ”
Regarding the statement of He Chongzhen's group, the Taoist did not deny it, and only cared about eating.
Chongzhen waved his hand, stood up, and said with a smug face: "What is this?" Plum blossom heart is easy, nothing is necessary, count the heavenly opportunity! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing Chongzhen say this, the Taoist couldn't help but sigh on his knees.
Seeing Chongzhen's troubled look, Gu Ying was attracted by the Taoist Xuanzhi and Xuanzhi skills, and he was completely defenseless, probed his neck and said to Chongzhen:
"Can you help me calculate my fortune? Recently, it seems that I have fallen into evil, and I have been unlucky. ”
The Taoist was about to speak, but Chongzhen preemptively said: "But! Just rush to the brothers' meal, it must be! ”
Gu Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, and Chongzhen immediately said: "It's just that the fortune is said, revealing the heavenly opportunity, the heart is sincere, and the method of divination is different from just now."
"It's this reason, it's this reason."
"Okay, you close your eyes, calm down, and recite a word three times."
Gu Ying did as she was told, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, silently reading in her heart.
Chongzhen got up and kicked Wang Chengen's foot, and he bypassed the fire and came to Gu Yingzheng, quickly thinking about the memories of another life in his mind.
"Brother, I'm done, and then what?"
"Well, then, ah, you should..."
This person is defenseless, and this is the best chance.
Halfway through Chongzhen's words, the thumbs of both hands were secretly clasped, the palms were slightly bent, and all the strength of his body was exerted, and with a wave of his arms, both palms were fanned on Gu Ying's ears at the same time.
Gu Ying only felt that the wind pierced his ears, his eardrums were whistling and buzzing, his heart was bad, and he was on this person's way, and he got up and wanted to draw the knife despite the headache, but he couldn't pull it out, it turned out that Wang Chengen hugged the handle of the knife.
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, Chongzhen kicked the yin vigorously again, Gu Ying screamed "ah", and while bending over in pain, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes, unable to see, and was blinded by Chongzhen.
Gu Ying is an old bandit after all, although he was attacked by a sneak attack, his courage still exists, and he has not lost consciousness. On the contrary, because of the anger in his heart, his whole body trembled and burst out with a huge force, breaking Wang Chengen away and kicking him away.
"Lao Tzu killed your whole family!" Gu Ying shouted, trying to open his bleeding eyes, brandishing his knife and slashing at his side.
Chongzhen walked around him, not close, always keeping a safe distance, quietly watching Gu Yingkong drain his strength.
said that Gu Ying, while shouting to kill Chongzhen, ran around in the temple, accidentally stepped into the fire, and the fire caught fire while climbing the cloth shoes.
Eating pain under his feet, he jumped up instinctively, but lost his balance, hit the back of his head and fell heavily to the ground, and the knife fell to the side.
The knife was picked up by Chongzhen on the side and slashed heavily in Gu Ying's face, one after another, blood splashed everywhere.
"Cheng'en, wake up."
Chongzhen pinched Wang Chengen's people and shouted, and after a while, Wang Chengen woke up slowly, saw Chongzhen who looked like a bloody man in front of him, and said:
"Your Majesty, have we arrived at the underworld? How did you get covered in blood? ”
", that dog thief has been cut down by me, hurry up."
Wang Chengen got up and saw Gu Ying's corpse on the ground, and spit out what he had just eaten with a "wow".
Chongzhen can be regarded as a person who has seen blood, and coupled with the high tension in his brain, he didn't feel so disgusting. The result was good, Wang Chengen vomited, and he wanted to vomit, and the two of them vomited in the temple.
"Can you stop throwing up, if you spit I want to vomit."
"Vomit, Huang Ye, vomit."
After a while, the two of them came to their senses, only to feel that they had been hollowed out.
Chongzhen shouted to the Taoist, but there was no response, he didn't pay attention just now, thinking that he should have run away when he was fighting with Gu Ying, and he was no trace at the moment.
Forget it, he didn't care about him, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to check the horses outside the door, and he groped for Gu Ying's body, but there was nothing else except a letter.
The fire in the temple was trampled out by Gu Ying, and there was only a little spark left, and I couldn't read it at the moment. Chongzhen had no choice but to put the letter in his arms, take off Gu Ying's belt and put it on, hang up the scabbard, and prepare to go out with the knife.
But he saw Wang Chengen holding his hands up, backwards into the temple, followed by a big bow, pointing at him with an arrow, and slowly followed.
"Isn't it? Still coming? ”
A quarter of an hour later, the fire was rekindled in the temple, Gu Ying's body was moved outside the temple, and the blood stains on the ground were also covered by ashes, but there was still a smell of blood in the air.
Chongzhen sat with Wang Chengen and the man with the bow in his arms, baking cakes and chatting, while a woman sat on the other side of the fire with her back to breastfeed her daughter in her arms.
"Brother Yang killed well!" Chongzhen applauded.
"I have won awards, Brother Huang calls me Uncle Xian."
It turned out that the person who pointed at Wang Chengen with a bow and arrow was Yang Lihu, who was going out of the city with his wife and daughter, and wanted to send relatives to Datong to avoid the limelight, and a rain brought him and Chongzhen together.
At that time, Chongzhen was almost desperate when he saw the bow and arrow, and shouted bluntly: "I killed the intruding army on the ground, and if you want to kill it, you will be killed."
When Yang Orion heard him say this, he checked the scene with a suspicious face, and finally after determining what Gu Ying was wearing and the customs clearance documents in the saddle bag, Yang Orion immediately apologized to the two.
So there is the current scene, after several people tell each other about their experiences, they hate to see each other late, and the more they chat, the more speculative they become.
Yang Orion felt that the Huang brother in front of him was extraordinary and had an indescribable temperament, but his name was quite peculiar, and he was actually called Monk Huang. The other one is even more strange, I heard Brother Huang say that it was his companion, called the prince.
Since they all went to Shanxi to find relatives, and they all killed Shunjun, this meeting is really fate.
The three of them are combined, and the brothers will be commensurate with each other in the future, and they will walk together.
By the light of the fire, Chongzhen took out the letter in his arms and looked at it in detail, and Wang Chengen and Yang Orion joked with each other on the side.
The baby in the woman's arms was infected by the joyful atmosphere, squinting and smiling.
