368 Barren Ridge Old Nunnery

"I've seen all the people you brought back from this trip. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shen Fengming was frowning.

"What do you think?" said Jun Li.

Shen Fengming shrugged, "It's not good, no one knows anyone." ”

"Of course you don't know each other—when you came, they were long since they were in the Black Bamboo Society, and besides, I heard that Ling Daxia was not the same faction as them back then, and I was afraid that they wouldn't mention these people since he surrendered. ”

"I'm not in the same faction as Ling Li. Shen Fengming said with a smile, "But then again, most of the people in the Black Bamboo Club have code names, some of which are close to their real names, for example, my code name is still 'Feng Ming', and the code name of Ma Si is also pronounced 'Ma Neigh', which is not surprising, but some of them are not compatible at all, such as 'Ling Li' - his code name is so famous that no one knows his real name for a long time." I don't know the names and surnames of these people, but I can't say that the code name is said, so it will be like thunder. ”

He paused, and then said, "Actually, it's not that no one mentions them, I heard about them when I first joined the club, and when the big guys hid in the south all these years, they also knew that Huizhou had such a former location, although they had never dealt with it, but they were also used to gathering around there. Ignore it -- I'm most worried about it now -- if you let them protect the Thorns, are you okay? I've heard those people say that their branch was destroyed by the Green Dragon Sect, and you're sure they won't bother with the Thorns?"

"You pulled me out to say this?" Jun Li laughed instead.

Shen Fengming was surprised, "...... You're not worried?"

Jun Li smiled slightly, "I ...... in my heart It wasn't without hesitation, but it was better for anyone in the Black Bamboo Society, whom I didn't know at the moment, to trust me more than they were, and to at least be willing to tell the past openly and honestly in their hearts...... Those scheming people—those villains who stab you in the back without making a sound, right?"

"That's right......" Shen Fengming thought for a while, and suddenly said, "What do you mean, you doubt my people?"

"I didn't mean you ......," Jun Li said, "you should understand what I mean, for example, if you don't say it, I can't tell that he is a silver medal at a young age, and he was once a subordinate of Maas--you don't know much about his origins, do you?

"Of course I understand this, but I'll just warn you -- I don't think those people are open-minded, and whether they give their code names or not -- there are not many people who can wait in one place for eighteen years. ”

"If you really wait for eighteen years to take revenge, you won't do anything to the thorn. That past incident has nothing to do with the thorns, they dare to touch her, not to mention the grass and snakes, the Qinglong Sect is afraid that it is not painful, but it only annoys me and Heizhu, what good is it for them?"

As Jun Li spoke, he caught a glimpse of the thorn in the hall—she had just arrived, and was sitting down with okra to talk, while Ah Yin carefully sat at another table and watched her.

"Besides, the one I have to be by the side of the stab is only one Ah Yin. He added, "Even if I don't believe in those people, I'm still willing to believe in Ayin." ”

"Why?"

Jun Li did not answer. I don't know if he trusted the thorn's instincts - or if he trusted his instincts. He remembered that morning, and felt that a gentle child who could see the thorns would not hurt her.

"Let's go inside. He didn't want to say anything more, and walked back into the hall.

--------

Okra really guessed wrong-if Shen Fengming wanted to make a fuss, how could he whisper to Jun Li alone, of course, he would talk about it in front of her.

"It's still a Taoist priest who is so powerful that he actually brought me out under the nose of Mrs. Xiang beating Suzaku!" Shen Fengming returned to the Drunken Pavilion, and his face became elated.

Jun Li shook his head. "I didn't bring it out 'for you' - how I brought it out, I have to bring it back how I got it back. ”

Shen Fengming deliberately showed some salivation: "When can I bring it out and not bring it back, it's good......"

"Then I can't do it, you can go and ask Suzaku to try it yourself. ”

Okra coughed, as if she didn't like Jun Li very much, but instead of stopping it, she even connived at Shen Fengming's nonsense. Fortunately, Ahe's voice was already behind him: "Come, everyone!" Ahe shouted. It turned out that a few people were being served food in the back kitchen -- four portions of porridge and a few plates of pickles, a plate of steamed cakes, and a bowl of beans and chestnut yellow, all steaming.

Ordinary old shopkeepers don't do early business, but after staying here for a long time, it is inevitable to want to work early in the future. Fortunately, there are several "little two" to call him, and people like Ah He are very skilled, and the food they make is not bad. On the contrary, this shabby square table was placed by so many dishes, and it suddenly seemed too crowded.

"Isn't Lu Yuan in a hurry to leave, and I have to chew my food leisurely. Okra said coldly.

"It's because it's a long way, so you have to eat enough. Shen Fengming coerced a meatloaf for her. "You guys came out so early, I think you came on an empty stomach?"

Okra stood up without giving face, "I'll go sit over there." She said coldly, and was about to leave.

"Sister Qiu. Still the stinger pulled her away, "It's rare—it's rare to be able to eat something together, and you're going to leave again in a while, won't you stay with me?"

"Yes, Miss Qiu, hurry up and do it, this is finally done, the girl will eat some. On the other hand, Ah He also said.

The okra was pulled tightly by the thorns, and finally sat down again in desperation.

It was the first time that four people could sit together and eat a meal. Most of the three of them were silent, only Shen Fengming kept talking while eating, "On weekdays now," he smiled, "I want to see Mrs. Xiang but can't see it, so I can only accompany the little girl here; Do you think the way of the world -- it likes to play tricks on people?"

Okra was not happy, glared at him, and he became more and more energetic, "What's the matter, Mrs. Xiang, can't you stick a knife into the table of this drunken pavilion today?"

Okra really reached out to touch the knife immediately, Shen Fengming saw this and hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, okay - I won't say anything, I won't say anything." ”

Finally, I finished eating peacefully and peacefully, and it was not too early. Ah He led a few Xiao Er, Ah Yin, Qin and the shopkeeper to eat breakfast together, and when they saw that Jun Li and the three of them were leaving, they hurriedly stood up.

Shen Fengming explained a few words to him, and said with a smile at the end: "Show me a little, if there is anything wrong with the 'sister-in-law', be careful that I come back to clean you up." ”

Several people hurriedly responded. Although Shen Fengming usually speaks like this, they can still see that he seems to be extra happy today. Jun Li didn't see any joy or anger, and only said to Ah Yin: "Remember my words." ”

Ah Yin patted his chest and said, "I know, when the eldest brother is away, I protect Sister Shan." ”

Jun Li smiled and said no more.

--------

Although he couldn't say anything to the thorn this morning, he felt that he probably didn't need words to get through, and his mood was inexplicably refreshing, and he didn't have the stagnation of the previous few days, and Shen Fengming and Okra left a drunken pavilion, and the three of them walked out of the southwest Qingbo Gate and walked towards the mountains.

"Thick soil hermitage behind the mud man ridge. Jun Li said, "I know the Shiren Ridge in the west, but I haven't heard of the Niren Ridge in the southwest. ”

"It's the first time I've been there. Shen Fengming said, "What about you?" he turned to okra.

"How could I have been. Okra replied.

After walking for about an hour, we arrived at the foot of the Niren Ridge. I saw that although this ridge is called "mud man", but at present, it is also densely wooded, not a mud barren hill, but the human track is indeed scarce, the vegetation insects and birds are rampant, think that compared to the north of the lake and mountain in Lin'an City, the incense is vigorous, and the south avenue is thoroughfare, which is neither an official road nor a place suitable for cultivation is less interested.

The thick earth hermitage is on the southwest mountainside of the Niren Ridge, and the three of them walked around the ridge from the mountainside, only to see that the slope of this side is deep and green, and the shadow of the half-yellow earthen wall is faintly revealed in the distance.

Approaching, see a lot of solid and tall purple bamboo near this temple, it is a place to find seclusion in the middle of the noisy, the area is not small, I want to come to the beginning of the construction also had the idea of prosperity, but now the door wall is bleak, the earthen wall is broken, even the lintel is worn out in half, barely can see the appearance of the three words of "thick soil hermitage", it seems to be in disarray.

The door of the nunnery was open, but there was no human figure, and the ground seemed to have just been swept for a long time, only two or three newly fallen bamboo leaves jumped on the ground without taking root with the wind. Shen Fengming shouted: "Is there anyone?" A middle-aged bhikshuni dressed in gray old robes stepped out quickly from behind the side hall, and when he saw someone alive, he hurriedly threw the broom in his hand and said, "I don't know if there is a guest visiting, it's rude." Dare to ask a few donors who are here......"

She was about to ask if she was coming to offer incense or give alms, but suddenly saw that there was a Taoist among the visitors, and she couldn't help but hesitate. Shen Fengming hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Excuse me, we are friends of Mrs. Jinghui, and we learned that she settled here, so we came to visit." ”

The middle-aged bhikshuni suddenly said, "A few of you are here to find Master Pure Wisdom - please come in quickly." ”

The three of them entered the hermitage. The Goddess of Mercy enshrined in the main hall of the Houtu Nunnery is a civil and engineering structure, which is slightly straight, but the apse is empty and has a rudimentary form, does not see the Buddha, I don't know why it was delayed in the middle of the construction, it has been vacant until now, some timber stacks have been in a state for a long time, and the pillars and beams have not been painted, and the desert is very dry and desolate. In addition to these two halls, the partial hall and the dormitory guest hall and other places of practice are mostly bamboo houses and grass houses, very simple, even if the building is only a mud house, the most eye-catching in the whole thick earth hermitage is several large open spaces.
