Chapter 14: A Two-Man Deal
Silk cloud night, light breeze, the beginning of the day.
The night breeze is light, cool and calm.
Dawn slowly woke up and found himself in a dilapidated old temple.
In the temple, there is a bonfire lit by broken wood and dead branches, and there is a broken clay pot on its top, wafting warm rice incense. In the shadow of the opposite wall is a wooden barrel that appears to contain a human being.
Obscure Ming got up and looked closer, and found that the person in the bucket was a summer night.
The summer night was still asleep, and there was a pungent smell of medicine from the barrel.
A rickety old man slowly walked in from the temple gate.
Dawn picked up a long stick of wood and stood in front of the barrel.
The old man glanced at the obscure light, "Let's drink porridge." People who are weak should not drink alcohol. ”
Obscure asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" Why did you knock me out and bring me both here? ”
The old man turned around and bowed: "That girl has always acted recklessly, hurt the little master, and abruptly abrupt the two, I'm really sorry." The old decay made amends to the two of them on her behalf. As for the reason for bringing it here......"
At this time, a person ran in from outside, "Hua Lao! I am back! Is the porridge good? ”
This man was dressed in a simple blue man's suit, and his steps were light. The sound is like a light rain falling to the ground, which is both clear and crisp, and like a warbler and a swallow chirping in the morning, which is pleasant to the ear. The demeanor is looking forward to showing the girl's agility.
Following the old man's eyes, after seeing the obscurity, the girl said, "Are you awake?" I'll see if he's better. Then three or two steps were in front of you. Flicked it on the forehead of the obscure and bounced it away, "The little master borrowed it." ”
The girl pulled the hand that was on the side of the barrel in the summer night to check the pulse.
Summer Night suddenly flipped his hand down, twisted the girl's forearm, and restrained it.
The girl took advantage of the situation and stretched out her other hand behind her, piercing the silver needle between her fingers in the summer night to stretch her tendons.
Summer Night's palm was numb, and he took it off.
The girl turned around and took two or three steps back, rubbing her wrist, "Not bad." Quite spiritual. Get up and drink porridge. Then he turned his head and drank the porridge.
I didn't know why, so after thinking for a while, I walked over to the two of them and drank porridge together.
The girl smiled and leaned forward, "Why is the little master so well-behaved?" ”
Obscure Ming gulped down the porridge and whined, "It seems that the two of us are not your opponents at the moment." Then you can only do as you please. ”
The girl smiled, "Hahaha." It's still the little master who is smart, only the fool has no porridge to drink. ”
Xia Ye pulled out the silver needle from his fingers, looked at it carefully, and said secretly in his heart: "Milli needle? It's a doctor. Hua Lao? Hua family. ”
After listening to the girl's words, she smiled and said, "Haha." It's the first time I've been called a fool. Then he jumped out of the barrel, tore off a dilapidated banner in mid-air, surrounded him, and sat down beside the three of them.
When the girl saw it, she laughed and said, "Haha." The little monk, the big lama. ”
The two of them looked at each other a few times, and found that Xia Ye was indeed wrapped in a banner at this moment, and he did look like a lama.
The two were also unconsciously affected by the girl's liveliness, and their vigilance was temporarily light.
Hao Ming also teased Xia Ye and said: "Although I haven't tried it, I have also seen the abbot shaving." Can a mage be trusted by me? ”
Summer Night smiled bitterly and replied: "If I enter the Buddha's gate, Bodhi will be dusty." ”
A few people just finished drinking the porridge while talking and laughing.
Xia Ye first said, "I didn't expect anyone from the Hua family to survive." That's a hassle-free. I don't know who the two of them are in the Hua family? ”
The girl said: "I am not a member of the Chinese family. My name is Su Mu. People from the Su family in the remote state. Hua Lao is the housekeeper of the Hua family. ”
Summer Night was slightly startled, "Su family? It's interesting. I wonder what the two of you are looking for us? ”
Su Mu stretched out two fingers and said, "Two things." One investigates the Divine Blessing Hall and the Divine Blessing Altar, and the other finds Miss Huajia. ”
Xia Ye said: "What good is it for us?"
Su Mu said: "I heard your words at the altar of divine blessing. Hua Shen Doctor is kind to you, and you should repay it. ”
Xia Ye said: "But I heard that Doctor Hua broke off relations with the Hua family six years ago. Since then, he has traveled all over the world and never returned home. ”
Su Mu hurriedly said: "Then I'll help you heal." Your meridians are broken five or six out of ten, there is burning in your lungs, and cold qi is running in your limbs, and you can only live for one month. No medicine can save you. ”
Xia Ye nodded, "Doctor Hua said the same. Can you save it? ”
Su Mu raised his head and smiled: "What's so difficult about this?"
"How long will it take?" Summer Night asked.
"One year." Su Mu stretched out a finger confidently.
"Farewell!" Summer Night got up angrily and walked out.
Su Mu hurriedly got up to stop him, "But if you help me, three days!" Three days! ”
Xia Ye looked back and asked coldly, "How can I help?"
Su Mu said: "Although the Hua family has become coke. But I found out that the medicinal herbs had been secretly stolen by the Divine Blessing Hall. If you can steal it, you can do it. ”
Summer Night sat back down, "That's good. I'll believe you first. Let's talk about the second thing. What's the clue? ”
Su Mu sat back and said, "I don't have a clue either. I only slept for a while, and the world changed. The Hua family is gone, and the young lady is gone. And I became a young lady......"
The clouds and fog of listening to the summer night let her talk from the beginning.
Su Mu recounted plastic surgery, "I was originally the little sister of the Su family. There are three sons in the family and two brothers. When he was eight years old, he was sent to the Hua family for foster care. Since then, I have known the young lady. Miss is the same age as me, and since childhood, she loves knives, guns and sticks, and advocates chivalry. Although Master Hua has been punished many times, it has not changed. When I was sixteen years old, my young lady said that she was going to leave home and wander the rivers and lakes, and she made an appointment with me to come and leave with me at night. But when I woke up, it was six years later. The Hua family has been destroyed, and the young lady is nowhere to be found, leaving only Hua Lao by her side. And I became a young lady. Later, when I heard about the events of the past six years, I couldn't tell how much of it was true or false. ”
After hearing this, he didn't realize that the connection was bizarre.
After a glance at the summer night, he found that Hua Lao's eyebrows seemed to have something on his mind, "Hua Lao, I don't know how much you know about this?" ”
Hua Lao got up and waved his hand repeatedly, "The old man doesn't know anything. ”
Su Mu was gloomy, "I have also asked Hua Lao many times, and he replied the same. Just told me not to pay attention to it anymore and go back to Su's house quickly. ”
Summer Night bowed his head, then got up, "That's it, this deal will be answered next." Although the altar of divine blessing in the day also seems to have a good relationship, I see that you are pleasing to the eye, so I decided to help you here. ”
Su Mu asked, "Do you have a clue?" ”
Summer Night shrugged, "No clue. However, tomorrow there will be a sect leader who will come to teach the Dharma and channel. Let's go and explore his reality first. If you're lucky, you'll be able to steal it tomorrow. ”
Su Mu smiled: "Okay! Then the soldiers will be divided into two ways, and I will go to explore the reality of the Divine Blessing Hall! ”
Summer Night hurriedly said: "Don't! If you are careless and reckless, you will startle the snake. It's better to go in obscurity. ”
Obscure pointed at himself and said blankly: "Why is there still my business?"
Xia Ye said: "The grace of a meal is worth a thousand gold." You didn't ask in advance whether someone else gave it to you or sold it to you. The porridge has fallen into the stomach, and it is difficult to repent. ”
Su Mu smiled: "Okay! That's it! ”
Then the two of them went to sleep in a corner.
He looked left and right, pouted, touched his head, and went to sleep.
Hua Lao sat outside the door smoking a dry cigarette, his brows furrowed. Looking up at the bright moon, there are words.
Day 2.
The sun rises in the east, and Mao is up. The sea of clouds becomes a painting, and the morning sun is the eye.
Meizhu Mountain is already crowded, and there is a long queue from the bottom of the mountain, and it is lively from the bottom to the top.
"Freshly picked pears, freshly fried kernels, freshly dried peaches, freshly chopped cakes!"
"Toys! Sell toys! Guan Gong's knife, the monkey king's stick, Wu Song's gun, Baoyu's fan! ”
"Wine ...... Good wine! ”
"Tea yo! Plum bamboo tea that quenches your thirst and clears your heart! ”
……
And the altar of divine blessing is also very arranged.
Outside the temple, hundreds of large and small white flags stand along the mountain road, dancing lightly in the wind, and painting a unique "god" character pattern.
Set up a high altar in the middle of the temple, spread a huge square carpet on the altar, the pattern is exquisite and complicated, and the middle is also the word "God" in the middle of the tattoo. There are dozens of white flags hanging on the side of the altar, and strange secret mantras are painted. The four corners of the altar stand an incense burner with a width of more than one zhang, and three three-foot incense sticks are inserted in the middle, and smoke is scattered.
Dozens of white-clothed monks clasped their hands around the altar.
More than 1,000 devotees are layered around the altar. Holding fine incense in his hand, he bows to the high altar like a statue of the god of the main hall and bows his head to worship.
The sundial is silent, and the sea of clouds is invisible. The beginning of the day.
A gust of wind swept up the courtyard, and scattered bamboo leaves struck from the altar.
When the bamboo leaves fell, there was already a man in white sitting on the altar with his palms folded.
Although this man in white is dressed in plain clothes, it is finely painted with mountains, rivers, clouds and rain, and strange secret spells. Every time the sunlight shines through the clouds, the dense lines on it shine brightly, as if you are in the clouds. But on its face, it wears a bright red mask with exposed eyes, and a bamboo and a plum are painted on it.
When the believers saw this person appear, they immediately became overwhelmed with emotion and made a lot of noise.
A man walked up to the altar and stood on the side of the man in white. Exactly Wen Luo.
"Quiet!" Wen Luo said in a deep voice.
Although the sound was soft, it echoed like muffled thunder. The crowd was no longer noisy.
"The Sect Master is here! Listen! Wen Luo said.
All the believers immediately put the incense in their hands in front of them and bowed their heads.
……
God bless the altar, the east kitchen.
Xia Ye and Su Mu have turned into a couple in rags, and they are stealing roast chicken from the East Chef at this time.
"Fortunately, this Divine Blessing Sect can't help but be fishy." Eating chicken thighs on a summer night.
"I don't know when this will be finished. What are your plans for the future? Su Mu asked, eating another chicken leg.
At this time, most of the people in the temple were gathered in the front yard. Take a look around the backyard now. You may be able to find clues to the medicinal herbs. Summer Night got up and peeked out of the paper window, "Almost, let's go." Don't forget to bring the chickens to Xuan Ming and Hua Lao. ”
Su Mu was stunned, "Little master? He also eats meat, huh? I really can't see that he is still a little flower monk who does not abide by the rules. ”
Then the two looked left and right, put more than ten catties of food into the back basket, and secretly went out of the house.
Coming to the wall, Summer Night pointed at the wall, "Throw it out." ”
Su Mu looked at Xia Ye blankly, "What's the explanation?" ”
Xia Ye said: "After throwing it over the wall, you turn over the wall and take it back." ”
Su Mu was furious, "You said yesterday that I was careless and reckless, and I don't care about you." You brought me here just to let me move food? You're underestimating! ”
Xia Ye said helplessly: "After you transport it back, you will come back here to meet me." How is it? ”
After hearing this, Su Mu smiled and said, "That's right." Then he threw the food over the wall.
After watching Su Mu climb over the wall, Xia Ye shook his head helplessly and began to rummage in the backyard.
