Chapter 27: Anning Temple
"What's going on!"
A large net fell from the sky, covering several people, and the masked man pulled out the long knife at his waist one after another, and swung the knife to slash directly, but the big net was also ignited by the fire on the ground, and after a few splits, the scorching heat from the handle of the knife was almost burning people's hands.
Soon, a group of men rushed out of the camp tent next to him, and Xie Yuan held a torch and shouted: "The thieves are not ready to be captured!" ”
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burnt flesh, and no one noticed that a pair of snooping eyes appeared halfway up the mountain, and in the quivers behind them were dense soul-chasing arrows.
Two miles away, Xie Hanci was trapped in the carriage, she pulled out the bamboo hairpin on her head, pressed the mechanism, and a thin short blade immediately popped out at the top of the bamboo hairpin, and she struggled to saw the hemp rope that bound her hands.
Xie Hanci scolded while sawing: "Okay, I'll cook for you and give you advice." It's good for you to unload the mill and kill the donkey, turn your head to my father to complain, tie me up and throw it on the carriage, and say that it is for my sake, I bah! ”
By the time she cut the rope and jumped out of the carriage, there was already a blaze outside, and arrows flew everywhere.
On the other side, Jing Yu had to set up two shields to resist the chaotic arrows on the mountain, and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but there was a voice behind him that should not be here.
"Damn, what the hell did you do?"
Xie Hanci's face was yellow mud, her head was full of leaves, she used her limbs together, and crawled to the front of the tent with a rolling belt, and the first thing was to scold Jingyu.
"I'll let you empty King Ning's things, and set up a stumbling rope to capture the thieves who fall at the end of the line. You came to burn down the company camp? You didn't play with fire when you were a kid, and you had a great time here tonight, right? ”
Jing Yu dragged Xie Hanci under the shield and protected her behind her, "What's the point of catching one or two people, it's better to never have trouble at once!" I just didn't expect them to be such chicken thieves, and there are archers on the mountainside. ”
Xie Hanci was angry, wanting to push him away, but he was worried that he would be shot by a soul-chasing arrow.
"You should talk to me, you think I don't want to kill them all? I asked you to do that, just because I didn't want to make such a big battle, and it was eye-catching, and the people on the mountainside were not in the same group as them at all! ”
"What?! So who are they? “
Xie Hanci didn't answer, because she noticed that Xie Yuan, who was not far away, was surrounded by masked people who had broken free, Xie Yuan was obviously invincible, and his arms were crisscrossed with bloody knife wounds.
Xie Hanci hurriedly took out the scroll in his arms, held it high, and shouted, "What you want is in my hands!" ”
For a while, the random arrows on the mountainside and the masked man wielding the knife stopped, and everyone was looking at Xie Hanci, no one spoke, staring at the scroll in her hand, thinking about the authenticity of things.
Xie Hanci continued: "This is made by Shen painter, and then given to Yuan Niang, after several tosses, was found by King Ning in the Golden Alder Temple, King Ning to solve the mystery in the painting, this painting to me for safekeeping. ”
A deep male voice came from the mountainside, "Miss Xie, if you agree to hand over the painting, I can send someone down to help you wipe out this gang of bandits." ”
Xie Hanci sneered, "Help me? Aren't they your targets tonight? If you want to help, we also helped you, don't make such a big move, can you know that they are here? We don't do cicada catching praying mantis, do you have your turn to be a yellow finch? ”
Jing Yu was shocked in his heart, his face turned red, if it weren't for him, there would be no such thing as this tonight.
The man on the mountain continued: "Miss Xie understands people, that is, or obediently cooperate, set off tomorrow with peace of mind, and don't forget the purpose of your trip." ”
Xie Hanci was hesitating how to drag them down, but unexpectedly, the masked man beside Xie Yuan suddenly burst out, put the knife on Xie Yuan's neck, and shouted at Xie Hanci: "Give me something, otherwise try whether my knife is fast or his arrow is fast." ”
Xie Han hurriedly said: "Stop, even if I give you something, do you think they will let you escape?" “
Kun Yuhe looked at the mountainside, ripped off his mask, and raised the torch to his chin, the firelight reflecting the scars and imprints on his face, adding to the hideousness and ferocity.
He shouted at the mountain: "You see who I am, let them take things away, I will go back with you, I am worth more than a dead corpse alive, not to mention anything else, just talk about how I escaped to Dafeng, at least I can make five people with more than three grades lose their heads!" ”
The companion next to him pulled him hard, "He'er, what are you going to do, even if you don't want the things in her hand, I can't let you go back to the tiger and wolf's den." ”
"Old Chen, I've been hiding in this mountain for fourteen years, look at my face, what the hell does it look like, it is estimated that my father can't recognize me when I go down to the underworld. They had to figure out what they did back then, but I couldn't bear it, let me go, and finally exchange me for a little truth, which is also a relief for me! ”
Kun Yuhe patted the shoulder of the other man wearing a red mask again, and lowered his voice, with a rare tenderness in his tone.
"Second uncle, I didn't expect that our uncle and nephew would be separated again so soon after they first met for less than two days. I don't blame you for the previous incident, and I will entrust you with the rehabilitation of my father and these people in the future. “
On the mountainside, a voice came again: "Kun Yuhe, you come up by yourself, they can walk with things." ”
Kun Yuhe walked up to Xie Hanci and reached out to grab the scroll in her hand, but he didn't pull it, Kun Yuhe increased the force in his hand, "Let go, you have to let me see what is on the painting, otherwise my life will not be in vain?" ”
Xie Hanci didn't let go, but held the scroll in his arms, "You can't see it when you open it, the things in this painting are densed, only I can solve it, otherwise why do you think King Ning would put this painting here with me?" ”
Kun Yuhe sneered and pushed Xie Hanci to the side of the red masked man, "Then I have to work hard Miss Xie to go." Second uncle, take care of her! ”
He approached Xie Hanci and pulled down the beast bone whistle on her neck, perhaps angry about Yan Qi hurting him before, and said in a deep voice: "After all, apart from Miss Xie here, who has such great ability?" Please also ask Miss Xie to explain the secrets on the painting clearly and clearly, otherwise, she will have to stay in this mountain forever. ”
Kun Yuhe finally glanced at the few people around him, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his head resolutely, and his figure disappeared into the dark night of the mountains and forests.
After he left, there was a sound of rustling on the mountainside, and it soon calmed down again, leaving only the half-burned tent of King Ning still crackling, and the two groups of people in front of the tent were still tense confrontation.
The red-masked man pressed a long knife against Xie Hanci's snow-white slender neck, and threatened: "Prepare five fast horses and get out of the way." ”
Xie Yuan's brows were twisted into one place, his face was covered with a layer of cold frost, and he gritted his teeth and spit out an order: "Do as he says." ”
Xie Hanci looked at Jing Yu, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound. She remembered that he had told her in the governor's mansion that he could read lips, Jing Yu was stunned for a moment after seeing it, and then nodded vigorously at Xie Hanci, and Xie Hanci, whose exaggerated movements seemed to be able to hear the clicking sound of his neck turning.
Xie Hanci was very speechless in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that she still had a knife around her neck, she really wanted to rush over and pull off Jing Yu's head to see what was inside.
The red-masked man behind him sensed that something seemed to be wrong between Jing Yu and Xie Hanci, and the knife edge was two inches closer to Xie Hanci, and he lowered his voice and said, "Be honest, don't play tricks." ”
Xie Hanci felt that this voice was a little familiar, and before she could react to who it was, the five fast horses had been led to the front by the soldiers, and she was also carried to the back of the horse by the people behind her.
Xie Yuan looked at the dust raised by the horse's hooves, and the backs of several people who were far away, beads of sweat gradually oozed from his palms, and his throat was dry, and for the first time, he felt that he was so useless as a father.
Xie Hanci on horseback was also up and down in her heart at this time, she squeezed the scroll in her hand tightly, and pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation.
The person who was called Chen Lao by Kun Yuhe just now took the lead and ran to the front, and he asked loudly: "Second master, where are we going, are we going to the village?" ”
"Let's go to the temple first."
"Okay, drive!"
There was another whipped to urge the horse, although Xie Hanci could ride a horse, it was the first time that he was thrown on the back of a horse like a cargo, and he only felt that his internal organs were about to be turned upside down.
It wasn't until the sky leaked the white of the fish's belly that several people stopped the horse, Xie Hanci was put down, and she squatted on the ground and kept retching.
Chen Lao slowly dismounted, took two puffs of his cigarette, and sneered: Hahaha, you little girl can't do it, it's only been less than half an hour on the horse, and you have become like this. ”
"I'll throw you on the back of a horse like a sack for half an hour, and you see if you vomit!"
Not to be outdone, Xie Hanci shook his head and stood up, only to find that he was facing an abandoned temple. She shook her head, chased away the Venus in front of her, and looked at the plaque with peeling gold paint.
Anning Temple.
The mountain wind was bleak, blowing the leaves rustling, Xie Hanci was brought into the temple, as the people nearby said, there were three dry wells in the temple, and even three wells were drilled at that time, but the water could not be pumped out, and the whole temple was therefore regarded as ominous.
Even letting their followers eat saliva is a problem, what else can the gods enshrined here bless?
Slowly, the rumors here are getting more and more outrageous, what wild ghosts and mountain spirits are wandering here, and the lonely soul is holding the lamp in the middle of the night, and there is not even the last bit of incense.
Xie Hanci followed them into the apse, which was not as dilapidated as the front hall, and traces of repair could be seen, could it be that they repaired it, what did they do when they repaired this apse?
Just thinking about it, Chen Lao took out a pack of incense candles out of nowhere, and each person divided three incense sticks, Chen Lao looked at her, and also stuffed three into her hands, and then he lit the candles, and the bright candle flame illuminated all the small apse.
Xie Hanci found out that the walls here are painted with murals, and the walls on the left are all scenes of training and battlefield battles, and the soldiers on it are dressed differently from Dafeng.
Seeing that something was also painted on the wall on the right, Xie Hanci walked over curiously, and they didn't stop her, the painting on the wall on the right was more like a comic book.
The first is of a general resting in a tent, outside which a small man with a black face is staring at him maliciously, still holding a letter in his hand.
The second is of the general being caught by a group of black-faced villains and hanging him.
The third picture is a man dressed in bright yellow clothes and wearing a crown with a beaded curtain on his head, hearing about this, he smiled happily, and the black-faced villain also called for luxurious court clothes.
The fourth depicts a man dressed in the same uniform as on the wall on the left, riding a horse deep into the rocky mountains.
Xie Hanci sighed, and followed the example of a few of them, lit the incense in his hand and inserted it into the incense tripod in the middle of the room.
"Is this your story drawn on it?"
