Chapter Seventy-Three

Watari and the woman sat face to face for a whole morning, never opening their eyes.

The people around were still waiting with great interest at first, but the more they waited, the more bored they felt, they didn't hear the scriptures they wanted to listen to, and they probably couldn't see it now if they wanted to watch a fight.

Slowly, the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed, and finally only Jiang Zifu and Du Juan were still standing in place.

In fact, Jiang Zifu had already wanted to leave, after all, after a morning of playing, he was already hungry at this moment, but he gently pulled the sleeve of the cuckoo several times, but the cuckoo always said: "Wait a little longer." ”

She was reluctant to leave, and Jiang Zifu naturally didn't dare to leave alone.

"Cuckoo, what the hell are you waiting for, do you see something?"

The cuckoo leaned sideways to Jiang Zifu's ear and whispered, "Look at the short knife in that girl's hand, don't you feel familiar?"

There was a lot of noise around before, and Jiang Zifu just watched casually with the mentality of watching the excitement, and he didn't notice such a detail, but when he heard Du Juan mention it, he set his eyes on the short knife.

I saw that the short knife was about four feet long, and the handle was not as straight as usual, but somewhat curved, and it was connected to the golden dragon head inlaid at the tail, and it was like a dragon lying in his hand.

The back edge of the knife has a string of copper rings in series, and a colorful line passes through the copper ring, and is bound on the knife body, as if a peacock opens the screen, which is gorgeous and moving.

If it weren't for the cold murderous aura revealed by the sharp edge of this knife, Jiang Zifu would rather believe that this was a work of art rather than a murderous weapon.

The more Jiang Zifu looked at this knife, the more he felt that something was wrong, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but such a beautiful knife, if he had seen it once, he would definitely not forget it.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, as if he remembered something, and he looked at the cuckoo beside him in surprise.

"Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Knife?"

Cuckoo nodded, "I'm not sure yet, but nine out of nine, wait and see if there is a chance to see the other side of the knife, according to legend, there should be an inscription there." ”

Jiang Zifu frowned tightly and stared at the woman in white in front of him.

If the knife in her hand is really the legendary "Great Xia Dragon Sparrow", then the identity of this woman is a little suspicious, as the prince of Zhennan, he can't just leave, so he has to continue to wait.

This "confrontation" lasted from the morning until the waning sunset, Jiang Zifu and Du Juan's legs were stiff, but the woman still did not get up, nor did the monk open his eyes.

Just when they thought that they would not have a chance to take a closer look at the knife today, an old monk walked slowly in the small temple not far away.

"Amitabha, dare to ask the female benefactor, can you let my little apprentice go back?"

The woman didn't look at the old monk, just stared at the end in front of her, and said: "Abbot, your apprentice is a pervert scoundrel, he owes me an explanation, I have traveled most of the Central Plains in order to find him, and today I finally found him, how can I let him go." ”

Seeing that the woman seemed unwilling to give up easily, Lao Qu persuaded him with good words: "Donor, Lao Qu is the abbot of Hanshan Temple in northern Jiangsu, the law name is Jingqiu, my little apprentice has been exhausted, since he went up the mountain three years ago, he has been by Lao Qu's side day and night. ”

When the woman heard this, she suddenly stood up, pulled out the short knife in her hand, and slashed straight at the monk.

The blade stopped the moment it touched Dudu's neck, only to see the woman burst into tears, and her voice trembled: "Even the time for your escape is right, what else do you have to say, if you don't open your eyes today, I will slash you to death, a thief with a heart." ”

Jiang Zifu and Du Juan saw the woman take out the knife, and hurriedly looked at it, only to see eight big characters engraved on the side of the knife body: "The upper should be the stars, and the lower is unknown." ”

Jiang Zifu gasped, and couldn't help but exclaim softly: "It turned out to be really the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, exactly the same as the legend." ”

Monk Jingqiu just watched the woman slash the apprentice but didn't make a move, because he felt that there was not a trace of murderous aura in that knife.

Seeing that the woman was pitiful, he couldn't bear to say: "Donor, tell me, how my disciple has failed you, if it is true, the old man will never protect his shortcomings." ”

The woman nodded with tears in her eyes, tried to calm her emotions, and said slowly: "Li Shuxuan and I were childhood sweethearts, he promised to marry me when he grew up, but on the day I became an adult, he disappeared without a trace, and since then I have embarked on the road to find him. ”

As she spoke, she gently pressed the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in her hand, stared at the monk and asked sharply: "Li Shuxuan, tell me, what you said at the beginning is still counted, why did you carry me away, I just need one explanation, even if you say that you don't love me anymore! As long as you say it, I will never look for you again from now on." ”

The monk was still sitting in place, his eyes closed, and he didn't say a word.

The host of Jingqiu sighed slightly, and said softly: "Dudu, what this female benefactor said is true?"

"Master, since I escaped into the Buddha's door, I have only devoted myself to the Buddha, as if I had been reborn, and I have forgotten everything that happened before I became Dudu. ”

The monk's answer was understood.

The woman in white took a few steps back in despair, with a wry smile on her face.

"Forgotten, forgotten. In order to find you, I escaped from my family, traveled all over the Central Plains, suffered countless hardships and tortures, and looked for you for three whole years, just for you to forget a word!"

As she spoke, the woman suddenly raised the knife in her hand and put it on her neck, and said in despair: "You said you forgot, then prove it to me, let me know that you don't love me anymore, and I should live this life." ”

After speaking, the woman suddenly exerted force, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow slashed through her neck, the sharp blade seemed to tear through the cold wind, and the copper ring connected by the colored threads hit the back of the knife, and the sound was like a golden dragon roaring.

All this happened so fast that Jiang Zifu and Du Juan didn't have time to stop it.

As a high-ranking monk, it is naturally impossible for Jingqiu to see a fresh life pass away in front of his eyes, so he used all his strength to knock out the rosary in his hand with a loud shout.

The string of prayer beads hit the woman's arm directly, and the woman was in pain and couldn't help but let go of the knife in her hand.

She sat down on the ground, slowly opened her eyes, stared at the knife on the ground and said with a wry smile: "It's useless, when the Great Xia Dragon Bird came out of the knife, the blade had arrived, even if it didn't cut my neck, the murderous aura on the knife had already injured my meridians, and I should die." ”

Jiang Zifu, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke: "You can't die, the rosary is useless, but it's useful." ”

The woman glanced back, so focused that she didn't even notice that there were two tourists standing behind her.

She looked in the direction of Jiang Zifu's finger, and saw that Du Du, who was sitting cross-legged just now, had fallen at her feet at this moment, half of his body was already covered with blood, and the surrounding snow was also soaked in blood, a piece of scarlet, and beside Du Duan, there was a human forearm.

The woman looked at the scene in front of her in surprise, and listened to Jiang Zifu explain: "The moment you committed suicide just now, this monk rushed in front of you at a speed that even I didn't see clearly, and resisted the knife for you with his right arm. ”

The woman suddenly crawled over like crazy, hugged the severed arm in her arms, and desperately wiped the blood stains with the white clothes like snow, but she couldn't stop the blood gushing out.

The old monk walked over, squatted beside Dudu, put his fingers together, and pressed Dudu's shoulders, which could barely stop the bleeding for him.

The monk slowly opened his eyes, and Jiang Zifu and Du Juan were surprised to find that at some point, one of Dudu's eyes turned black to red, and the eye-catching red, as if there was a big fire, was burning in his eyes.

The woman cried and shouted the common name of the monk, "Shuxuan, look at me, Shuxuan, I'm Helian Ying!"

The monk turned his head weakly and said softly, "Sakura... ”

Helian Ying nodded frantically, "I'm here, I'm here, it's okay Shuxuan, I'm here." ”

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, picked up the half of her forearm on the side and pinned it to her waist, and picked it up with difficulty.

"It's okay Shuxuan, I'll take you to Jingbei City to find a doctor, there are all kinds of famous doctors there, and I will definitely be able to connect your arm." ”

Helian Sakura is a weak woman after all, and it is difficult for her to even get up at this moment.

Jiang Zifu watched her struggle several times, and finally couldn't bear to walk up.

"Don't bother girl, you must know the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, even if Hua Tuo is alive, the arm cut off by the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow can't be connected. ”

As he spoke, he took out a beautiful jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Helian Ying.

"This is the secret medicine of the royal family, which can save his life without worry. ”

The woman trembled and took the bottle of medicine, fed one in her mouth, and then fell to her knees and cried.

"I'm sorry Shuxuan, I shouldn't have looked for you, I shouldn't have forced you to marry me, I'm sorry Shuxuan, I'm sorry!"

The woman's cry was so painful that even the cuckoo on the side couldn't help but cry.

Abbot Jingqiu held the rosary in his hand, turned it gently, and said in his mouth: "Amitabha, Helian girl, you and my disciple probably understand the matter, there is a lot of love in this world, it seems to be love, but it is actually a love disaster, this should also be a disaster between you and him, since you have kept your name, you don't have to be too sad." ”

As he spoke, the old monk looked at the end of the journey, and said helplessly: "The end of the crossing, have you passed this catastrophe?"

I don't know if Jiang Zifu's medicine is really magical, at this moment, his complexion has recovered a little, and his lips that were pale before are also a little bloody.

He looked at the monk in front of him and lowered his head with some self-reproach.

"Master, can you let Sakura go back to Hanshan Temple with us for the time being. ”

The old monk sighed, nodded slightly, leaned over and picked up Du Duan and walked towards the small temple, it seemed that he was going to heal him first.

Helian Sakura hugged the half of the stump in her arms, got up crying, and slowly followed.

"Girl, your knife!"

Helian Ying turned around when she heard the sound, only to see a woman in red chasing after her with a Great Summer Dragon Sparrow.

She gently pinned the knife to Helian Ying's belt, and comforted in a low voice: "He sacrificed his life to save you just now, which proves that he still loves you, and you two will definitely get better and better in the future." ”

Helian Sakura struggled to squeeze out a smile, nodded slightly, turned around and followed the old monk away.

。。。。。。。。。。

Jiang Zifu and Du Juan walked on the way back to the inn, Du Juan looked at the stars shining in the sky, and said softly: "Helian Ying, legend has it that the Great Xia Dragon Bird was forged by the Western Xia Emperor Helian Bobo with a hundred steels, and she should be Helian Bobo's descendant." ”

Jiang Zifu nodded and explained: "The Western Xia was destroyed hundreds of years ago, but the Helian clan has always been active in the north, during the reign of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he once ordered the Helian clan to be the Zhongshu Order, and the current Helian family head Helian Dongzun should be the father of Helian Ying." ”

Saying that, he sighed lightly and said: "That Helian Dongzun is said to be an upright person, but he is extremely strict with the family management, listening to the conversation just now, it is estimated that Helian Ying stole the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and ran out, I am afraid that the monk took her back to the mountain, but also to avoid Helian Dongzun's pursuit." ”

Cuckoo nodded and said, "I don't know why Du Duan ran away in the first place, obviously he loves Helian Sakura deeply." ”

Jiang Zifu suddenly laughed and said, "Do you know why Helian Ying keeps asking him to open his eyes and take a look?"

The cuckoo lowered his head and thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said playfully: "What is this, the left pupil of the monk is red, and she was born as an alien, Helian Ying naturally knows at a glance whether she recognizes the wrong person." ”

When Jiang Zifu heard this answer, he shook his head unexpectedly.

He looked at the puzzled cuckoo and explained, "Helian Sakura is in deep love, how can she recognize the wrong person." ”

"Even if the monk Watari was not born with red pupils, but had the same black eyes as ordinary people, Helian Sakura would let him open his eyes and look at herself, what she wanted to see was not the color of her pupils, but the eyes of Watarian. ”

"Eyes?"

Jiang Zifu nodded, "You can't hide the eyes of loving someone, Helian Ying saw Duan's eyes, she knew if he still loved her, Dudu didn't dare to open her eyes, and she was also afraid of seeing her beloved, so she exposed her heart with one look." ”

Saying that, Jiang Zifu suddenly turned around, looked at the cuckoo and said, "If you love someone, you can't hide your eyes." This is for, at a glance ten thousand years. ”

The cuckoo looked at Jiang Zifu with a red face, only to feel that those eyes suddenly became more brilliant than the stars in the sky, as if there was a whole Milky Way, hanging upside down in his eyes.
