"Bang" Shi Ming finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground, just now he used the "Great Bright Knife" that had not yet been fully practiced, and luckily repelled Ximen Rin, but the true qi thief in his body went to the empty building, but he couldn't support it anymore, Qiu Suhua galloped all the way, her internal strength was already weaker, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow at this moment, but when she saw Shi Ming falling, she still tried her best to hold him, but the two of them fell together. Ju Zhong hurriedly stopped, but he consumed less, and he still had spare strength at the moment, so he ran over and said, "Is Master Hou okay?"

Qiu Suhua only felt that his hands and feet were weak, and said angrily: "Where will it be fine, Juzhong, I won't go, if that Ximen Rin really wants to kill everything, I'm afraid that he has caught up at this moment, I don't think he will chase after him." ”

Juzhong is also a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible to be in a high position in Chunshui Hall, and he quite agreed with Qiu Suhua's opinion, his eyes turned, and he said: "Let's go to the neighborhood to find a place to live, and wait until the Hou Ye recovers before it's too late, if you want to come to Ximen Rin, you must have already set off for the west, and it is impossible to deal with us here to the end." ”

Qiu Suhua nodded slightly and said, "You are familiar with the road here, but I am a little confused. ”

Juzhong has been going back and forth on both sides of the river all the year round, and he is most familiar with the terrain of this place, so he calculated his current position and said: "We have been running all the way, we should have run for twenty or thirty miles, I remember that there is a nunnery about five miles to the east, why don't you go there to rest for a while?"

Qiu Suhua nodded, wanting to help Shi Ming up, but his hands and feet were soft, his eyes were rolling, and he glared at Ju Zhong fiercely and said, "I haven't come to help yet." ”

Ju Zhong saw her coquettish appearance, but his heart fluttered, even if he was unintentional, he couldn't help but be moved at this moment, and secretly said, Hou Ye is really a blessing, the lord of Hailing is already a heavenly fragrance country, and there is such a pink confidant who sacrifices his life to accompany him, which is really enviable. But he didn't dare to say much, so he stepped forward and picked up Shi Ming and led the way to the east.

Although it is only five or six miles away, if it is a change of the past, with the skills of a few people, it is really within reach, but now Shi Ming is seriously injured and unconscious, Qiu Suhua is also weak, only Juzhong can still support himself, and he walked for a long time to see the dim light. Qiu Suhua secretly breathed along the way, and at this time his physical strength was gradually recovering, and he commanded in a low voice: "Juzhong, you carry the Hou Ye on your back and walk slowly, I will go to call the door first." She waved her sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead and performed light exercises, but in an instant she arrived at the door of the nunnery.

This nunnery is not big, there is a white gauze lamp hanging at the head of the door, although the light is weak, but Qiu Suhua can still see clearly within a radius of ten zhang with the dim light. There is a boxwood plaque hanging on the door of the nunnery, engraved with the words "colorless hermitage", these three words are written beautifully and elegantly, Qiu Suhua is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the talented girl, at a glance you can see that the penmanship on the plaque is Mrs. Wei's calligraphy, although it is not as good as Mrs. Wei's true handiwork, "graceful like a tree, Mu Ruoqing breeze", but there is a kind of sparse and dusty wind bones, so that Qiu Suhua's heart moved slightly.

Raise your eyes and look around, only to see that in addition to the slight new color of the plaque, it is a dilapidated scene that can be seen in the ears, the mountain gate is dilapidated, the weeds are growing in the gap of the stone steps in front of the door, the left and right are sparse forests, the fallen leaves become mud, the back of the nunnery is the murmuring of the clear stream, the sound of water whimpering in the night is low, making people feel desolate, although this small nunnery is desolate and dilapidated, but it is quite a sense of independence from the world.

Qiu Suhua secretly felt that this nunnery was quite extraordinary, so he didn't dare to make a pampered temperament, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door knocker, not long after, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the door, listening to Qiu Suhua's ears, only to feel that if there is nothing, "squeak", the door of the nunnery opened, only to see a middle-aged female nun walked out, indifferent eyes swept lightly on Qiu Suhua's body, and said: "Poor nun is the colorless nunnery owner, and the female benefactor is described as messy, but did you encounter any bandits on the way?"

Under the dim light, Qiu Suhua fixed his eyes and looked at it, and his heart was shocked, only to see that the colorless nunnery owner looked about forty years old, with a round hat and a hat, although Shaohua had retired, but his face was beautiful, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, although his expression was indifferent, but he was faintly powerful, so although he only asked lightly, it made Qiu Suhua feel that he couldn't help answering, and hurriedly said: "The concubine and her companions were in distress on the way, and they had to flee here. ”

At this time, Juzhong had already carried Shi Ming to the front, although he was also embarrassed, but his strength was still enough, and he was able to give a salute to the master of the colorless nunnery, and said respectfully: "Shi Tai Wan'an, the disciple is in trouble this time, and he has to come to ask Shi Tai for protection, I dare not disturb your old Qing Xiu, but please ask Shi Tai Nian for the sake of the Bodhisattva's great mercy, please allow me and the other three to stay here for one night." ”

The owner of the colorless nunnery looked at Juzhong's gaze was still calm and indifferent, and he was silent for a long time, and said: "The poor nuns originally did not accept outsiders here, but the night was heavy, and the poor nuns could not push the guests out of the door, so let's invite the three of them to stay in the nunnery for a while." With that, the nun folded her hands, bowed her head slightly, recited the Buddha's name lightly, turned around and led the three of them inward.

Qiu Suhua only listened to these few words and knew that Juzhong and the owner of this colorless nunnery actually knew each other, and there was anger in her heart, why didn't Juzhong say it clearly, but at this moment she also knew that she could not be presumptuous, so she could only suppress her anger and follow Juzhong to walk inward, this nunnery is not big, just a boxy courtyard, the main house is a Buddhist hall, the east side is two cloud rooms, the west side is a wing room and a fragrant soup kitchen, there is a small vegetable garden in the middle of the courtyard, and there is an ancient well next to it, and only a silhouette can be faintly seen in the dim night.

The owner of the colorless nunnery opened the wing room on the west side, went in and lit the oil lamp on the table, and said lightly: "The two donors will rest here tonight, there are rice noodles and dishes in the kitchen, you can take them yourself, and the female donor please go to the cloud room with the poor nun to rest." ”

Juzhong thanked him repeatedly, but Qiu Suhua had some thorns in his heart, so he just hurriedly bowed and solemnly instructed Juzhong for a long time, and then reluctantly followed the colorless nunnery master to the opposite cloud room, the two cloud rooms on the east side, the door of the north room was half-closed, the dim light came out of the room, and the shadows were sufficient, Qiu Suhua looked secretly, but only saw a wooden table with a spread of scriptures. followed the colorless nunnery master into another cloud room next to him, and after the oil lamp was lit, Qiu Suhua's heart moved, only to see that this cloud room was completely different from the simple cloud room where the colorless nunnery master lived in Fang Cai.

Although the bedding gauze tent on the bed is only made of ordinary fabric, but the stitches are fine, the handwork is exquisite, and it is a good workmanship at first sight, a white wood bookshelf is placed on some poetry and song scrolls, and the painted flower jar next to it is filled with long and short calligraphy and painting scrolls, and the sour branch wood bookcase under the window is placed on the four treasures of the study, which are all rare boutiques, this cloud room is like the boudoir of a young lady with Lan Xinhui, not to mention this desolate and simple nunnery, it is an ordinary medium-sized family, and there may not be such an elegant boudoir.

Qiu Suhua became more and more suspicious, but she was originally scheming, and she had already seen that the master of the colorless nunnery was acting extraordinary, so she felt a little strange, but at this moment, she could only be secretly careful, after all, she still believed that Juzhong would not betray the two of them.

The colorless nunnery master was suddenly unaware of Qiu Suhua's flickering gaze, but said indifferently, "This is the room where a lay disciple of a poor nun lives here, the female donor can rest here tonight, the girl's clothes may need to be changed, my disciple still has clothes left here, if the female donor does not dislike it, please change it first." ”

Qiu Suhua originally didn't think that when he heard the words of the colorless nunnery master at this moment, he suddenly felt red in his face, and he just thought about Shi Ming in his heart, and secretly speculated about the identity of this nun, but he forgot his embarrassed appearance now, and looked at his body, only to see that his body was dusty and muddy water, it was really difficult to see people, and even the originally spotless ground was made miserable by the muddy water on his body at the moment, and he was extremely ashamed in his heart, Qiu Suhua hurriedly said: " The concubine is rude, please forgive me, thank you for the kindness of the teacher, the concubine will bathe and change clothes, please go to rest by herself, the concubine will take care of everything. ”

Hearing this, an almost imperceptible smile flashed on the lips of the colorless nunnery, and he felt that although this female guest was smoky and flattering, she also knew books and etiquette, and was not an ordinary woman in the rivers and lakes, so she bowed her head slightly, and walked back to the cloud room by herself.

Qiu Suhua was originally paying attention to observing, and seeing that this nun's demeanor changed slightly, not as indifferent and alienated as Fang Cai, Rao was her pampered nature, and she also felt a wide heart, and she couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the unspeakable majesty of the colorless nunnery master. But at this moment, she couldn't take care of it, there was no woman who didn't pay attention to her appearance, let alone a beauty like Qiu Suhua, so she hurriedly ran to the Xiangzhong Kitchen and lit a fire to boil water. However, Qiu Suhua waited for the water to boil, so he first took the water and returned to the cloud room, and after taking a hasty bath, he changed into a set of cyan dresses placed on the bed by the owner of the colorless nunnery, and then returned to the kitchen to help.

These trivial things in the kitchen, Ju Zhong is only half-understood, after all, he is a man, but Qiu Suhua Although his ten fingers do not touch the spring water on weekdays, he is smart and dexterous, and he can deal with it easily in just a moment under Juzhong's guidance, and in addition to boiling enough hot water for backup, he also cooked some porridge and side dishes, and was busy for half an hour before he took the tray and walked to the wing. As soon as she walked into the dim room, Qiu Suhua saw a pair of shining eyes looking at her with a smile.

At this time, Shi Ming had already woken up, leaning on the bed, he looked at Qiu Suhua fixedly, originally liked to wear Confucian shirts, indistinguishable from male and female, she actually changed into women's clothes today, although it is not a gorgeous costume, just a dress often worn by ordinary women, a black hair is only loosely wrapped with a thorn hairpin, and what is even more ridiculous is that there are faintly visible traces of soot on the hem of the shirt and face, on the whole, I am afraid that Qiu Suhua has never been so embarrassed over the years, but strangely, Shi Ming unknowingly, his heart is tender, thinking that this woman is just for a little infatuation, so he followed his birth and death, and did all kinds of secrets for himself to eradicate dissidents, The original ice-solid mental defense finally collapsed, and he stretched out his hand to Qiu Suhua.

Qiu Suhua only felt a bang in her mind, Shi Ming's eyes at the moment were tender and blazing, and there was a little guilt, it was the gaze she had dreamed of, and she forgot everything, Qiu Suhua's hand was loosened, and then she threw herself into Shi Ming's outstretched arm like a moth to a fire, Shi Ming never retreated, but tightly took Qiu Suhua's delicate body into his arms.

Qiu Suhua only felt as if her whole body was melting, and with a smack, her beautiful face was already flushed, her eyes were like silk, and her love was like fire, completely forgetting that she didn't hear the sound of bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates falling to the ground. Shi Ming stretched out his hand to caress the black and soft green silk, and his eyes fell on Ju Zhong, who had rescued the tray, revealing a strange smile.

Ju Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and moved his lips silently: "Master Hou, this place is a place for the elders to retreat, and I also ask Master Hou to be cautious." ”

Shi Ming was proficient in the lip dictionary, and after reading it, he couldn't help but stare at it, his eyes were full of anger, and Juzhong had to lightly put the tray on the table and quietly retreated. It wasn't until he walked out and closed the door that Shi Ming shook his head and chuckled, and said secretly, what kind of person does he think of me, how can Ben Hou be such a anxious person, not to mention that the internal injuries have not healed, if I don't want to lose my martial arts, how can I do something at this time. However, as soon as this thought came to him in his heart, his arm felt the slight tremor of Qiu Suhua's delicate body, and the two bodies were tightly together, he could even feel Qiu Suhua's body temperature gradually rising, and he couldn't help licking his dry lips.

Walked into the courtyard, Juzhong was annoyed, it seems that he has no way to enter the room to rest tonight, what can I do, the two cloud rooms on the opposite side unless I am tired of living, or don't want to go in to rest well, but I can't stand in the courtyard all night, I thought about it, my eyes fell on the Buddha hall, and I secretly said, I will be in there for one night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved his steps, a voice came from his ear: "Chong'er, come here." ”

He originally thought that the master of the colorless nunnery would not be summoned today, so he did not have the courage to disturb, but now he heard the familiar voice summoning, and hurriedly turned around and walked to the cloud room opposite, tidied up his clothes in front of the door, and then knocked on the door.

This cloud room is different from the one that was given to Qiu Suhua to use, there is nothing else except the table, chair and bed, the whole cloud room is very empty and pure, except for a bamboo flute on the wall, there is not even a white portrait of Guanyin, every time I walk here, Juzhong feels as if I can see the lonely and lonely soul of the owner here, this empty cloud room, as if it shows that the master is silent like the heart of the water of the ancient well.

At this moment, the colorless nunnery owner did not go to bed, sitting at the table, holding a pen urgently, although he could not see the content, but only saw her holding the pen posture, he felt that her hand must be a pen like a cloud. At this moment, the owner of the colorless nunnery has taken off her round hat, revealing a dark gray hair, draped down her shoulders, she was originally a nun with hair and cultivation, but just looking at her beautiful silhouette like the undulating mountains and rivers, it makes people feel that this empty cloud house seems to have become a fairyland.

Juzhong walked into the cloud room, just glanced at the nun in a hurry, didn't dare to look more, leaned down and bowed down and said, "The disciple took the liberty to come and ask the master to forgive the sin." ”

The owner of the colorless nunnery didn't speak, just continued to write, Juzhong didn't dare to look up, just listened to the light sound of the occasional movement of the paper, and thought hard about how to ask for forgiveness, I don't know how long I knelt, my knees were already sore and numb, and an indifferent voice came from my ears: "Get up, come and see how well the poor Ni is written?"

Juzhong hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, only to see that there was excellent quality paper and ink on the rough wooden square table, and the snow-white rice paper was full of flowing handwriting, but he didn't recognize any of them, but when he looked at it, he only felt that the strange priorities of the words were all inappropriate, and they went straight to the bottom of his heart like flowing water. Juzhong only felt that his heart was as flat as a mirror, and he couldn't help but plead: "Although the disciple doesn't recognize the words on it, but after reading it, he feels that his heart is refreshed, so ask the master to give this character to the disciple." ”

The owner of the colorless nunnery smiled faintly, a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, and said: "It's okay, this painting is given to you, the poor nun will leave this place tomorrow, presumably there will be no chance to meet in the future, this painting will be regarded as a memorial, and Chong'er will not need to come here in the future." ”

Ju Zhong heard a huge shock in his heart, dumbfounded, he didn't know what to do, his knees were weak, he actually fell to his knees, and pleaded bitterly: "Master, the disciple knows that he shouldn't bring outsiders here, it's really because we suddenly encountered a strong enemy, Hou Ye was exhausted and unconscious, the disciple was very uneasy in his heart, thinking of the master's martial arts peerless, so he came to take refuge, if the master is angry, no matter how he punishes the disciple, don't be so decisive, and never give the disciple a chance to atone for his sins." In a panic, he had already violated the strict orders of the owner of the colorless nunnery, and re-called the master, the master of the colorless nunnery couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he heard the words, his indifferent and alienated expression had changed drastically, his eyes flowed, thinking of the past, he was a little reluctant, where could he still reprimand.

Juzhong eyes with tears, he became famous above the river, known as ruthless, and was later recruited by Shi Ming, in the Chunshui Hall high power, glory and wealth, at his fingertips, but if it were not for the martial arts taught by the master of the colorless nunnery, he was only afraid that he would have sunk into the river long ago, where is there still today's status and power, so he would never want the owner of the colorless nunnery to leave like this, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't think of a way to stay, and between the tears, he couldn't help but think of what happened from the past.

He was originally just a fatherless and motherless, an orphan under the fence, although his relatives did not treat him coldly, but there was not much warmth, he often went out to wander since he was seven or eight years old, as long as he didn't get into trouble and went back, no one cared about it, and over time, he also locked the door of his heart, and became cynical at a young age, and became a bad child in the eyes of the fathers and elders of the same village. But this chaotic life ended completely when he was ten years old.

It was the first year of Jianping, the Great Chen Dynasty had just been established, it was the time when all kinds of waste were rejuvenating, for a child, the increasingly low taxes, and the gradually stable life did not bring him too much feeling, but the elders were more and more relaxed in their control of him, and there was no need to worry about the hungry stomach from time to time, with a lot of freedom, he could go out to play all day.

It was the height of summer, he often went to the river to play in the afternoon, if he didn't want to go home, he would strip off his clothes and catch a few fatty fish, wash and peel them on the shore and roast them and eat them. One day, before the grilled fish was eaten, he heard a flute sound in the distance, the sound of the flute was quite beautiful and moving, but I don't know what happened, Juzhong felt sad and sad when he heard it, and he actually remembered his parents who had long since died, and he was born with the pain of being homeless. It's just that although the sound of the flute is clear and audible, it is ethereal, and it took a long time to find the person who blows xiao, but it is a woman in Tsing Yi leaning on the boulder of the river to make a flute. Although Juzhong was young, he was full of sorrows, and when he paid attention, he found that the woman in Tsing Yi looked sad, as if she had infinite sorrow, so she suspected that the woman was going to commit suicide by throwing herself into the water, so she immediately ran over with a shout, trying to persuade the woman not to commit suicide, but naturally she made a big red face. However, the woman also admired his courage and heart, and gently inquired about his origins, and did not blame him for being rude.

In the next few days, the heavy ghost sent the gods to wait by the river, and always did not wait for the sun to rise, and then he would see the woman in green clothes sitting cross-legged on the stone and blowing xiao. Juzhong likes to listen to her flute sound, although every time it makes him feel a little sad, and even dreams of his parents when he sleeps at night, so that he always finds tears streaming down his face when he wakes up, but he still likes to listen to her play xiao, and often excuses himself to go around.

After a few more days, Juige noticed that he could not see the woman eating, so he gave the woman the grilled fish and game, and the woman was at first a little apprehensive, and then accepted it with a smile. Gradually, the woman would smile every time she saw him, and Juzhong somehow felt more and more that the woman was lonely and pitiful, so he always called and played beside her, and then told her some proud things, such as fighting with her fellow villagers, and other small things, the woman always listened with a smile, and sometimes asked a few words, which made Juzhong like to get along with her more and more. After a long time, the sadness on the woman's face gradually dissipated, not as sad as when she first met, the sound of the flute was as clear and beautiful as ever, but it was a little more joyful, in the center of gravity, it was faintly regarded as the embodiment of this beautiful girl in Tsing Yi as a mother, in order to enjoy the family affection that had never been experienced, almost came up with some funny things to tell the woman, for fear that she would get tired of it, and never come to the river again.

Juzhong still remembers that suddenly one day the woman did not appear, and then he waited by the river for three days in a row, but did not see the trace of the woman, at that time the loss and sorrow in his heart, so that he will never forget, just when he was discouraged and disappointed, and wanted to give up and leave, but saw the woman coming slowly under the sunset, only three days apart, the woman has changed into a round hat, and is no longer a person in the red dust, but she looks at her eyes are still kind, from that day, she has become her registered disciple. Although this woman has only taught herself for a total of two years, she has benefited her a lot, and today he can be among the first-class masters, all thanks to the guidance of the colorless nunnery.

After thinking about it, Juzhong almost regretted it, if it weren't for his own wild temperament, he couldn't bear it at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and ran outside to break into the world, how could he make the master angry, and even let himself call her Master again, tears and sweat trickled down, his kneeling body on the ground became more and more rickety, and the faint pain in his heart made him almost unable to help himself.

I don't know when, the master of the colorless nunnery has already stood up, stroked his hair bun with one hand, and sighed in a low voice: " Idiot, idiot, there is no feast in life, you and I can have a chance to meet, it is already the opportunity to repair in the previous life, these years, the poor nun has been lonely, if it is not for the fact that I still remember you and Yan'er, I have long since disappeared from the world, you can rest assured, the poor nun is going to the South China Sea pilgrimage this time, this is thousands of miles away, the road is dangerous, I am afraid that it will take a few years, after arriving in the South China Sea, the poor nun or will not come back, not to be angry that you brought outsiders to the nunnery, but the township is far away, you are floating in the sea of people, I want to come to the future There is no chance to meet, you don't want to think nonsense, the poor nun does not blame you。 ”

Juzhong was more and more shocked when he heard this, he had known the owner of the colorless nunnery for many years, he already knew her temperament, knew that she was quiet by nature, and joining the nunnery was not so much to devote himself to the Buddha, but rather to be unwilling to get involved in the red dust, for more than 20 years, almost almost left the colorless nunnery a hundred miles away, how could he think of going to the South China Sea pilgrimage?

Just when there were many doubts in the center of the house, the colorless nunnery owner suddenly frowned slightly, waved his sleeves lightly, and a wisp of silent dark energy came out through the closed door, and the door did not move at all, but Juzhong knew that this dark energy was enough to make the person who eavesdropped behind the door shattered his bones, unexpectedly, the dark energy was like a mud cow entering the sea, without a sound, the colorless nunnery master's face was cold, and he raised his hand as if he was going to make a move, but he seemed to think of something, and he actually stopped the attack, and said coldly: "Who came to disturb the poor nuns' place of cultivation?"

Outside the door, a voice from Qingyue was like ice jade striking each other: "Disciple Yan Zishuang took the liberty to come to see the uncle, and asked the uncle not to blame the disciple for the crime of dereliction of honor." With the voice, a young girl in Tsing Yi slowly walked in, dressed as a courtesy, Ju Zhong looked up in amazement, and saw the girl's bright eyes of autumn water, the gentle eyes were full of compassion and kindness, Ju Zhong couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart, and he almost forgot where he was.
