Chapter Twenty-Four: The Village Girl
The two walked one after the other, although they hadn't seen each other for many years, the tacit understanding was still the same, and they walked in unison, as if they had melted into the years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I don't know how long I walked, the sun was slanting in the west, the red clouds were all over the sky, flocks of tired birds flew by, and there were bursts of bells not far away, deep as chimes.
Qi Chu reminded: "Further down is the Daming Temple." ”
Xu Jinyu said: "I'll ask for a signature." ”
Qi Chu said: "If you don't believe in the art of divination, don't believe it. ”
Xu Jinyu said: "Then you asked Tianyin Shenshu to calculate for you yesterday?"
Qi Chu smiled bitterly: "Do you have to compete with me?"
"Yes" Xu Jinyu walked quickly towards Daming Temple.
Daming Temple is located in the suburbs of Yangzhou City, was built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, has a history of thousands of years. This thousand-year-old temple has an endless stream of people who come to worship the Buddha in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and there is another reason: it is said that during the period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he had crossed to the east six times, and the real body of the master of Jianzhen who promoted Buddhism was preserved here.
Xu Jinyu saw the plaque on the front door with gold characters on a black background, the font was simple, and a faint golden light was faintly emitted under the sunset, the ancient trees outside the temple were towering, and the rosin was fragrant into the nose, she was suddenly in a much more comfortable mood, and turned around and said: "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”
Revisiting the old place, Qi Chu couldn't sweep away her interest, and the two walked in the door. I saw that the temple was quiet, and although it was almost dusk, there were still many Buddhist believers praying for signs.
Qi Chu felt that the inside and outside of this Daming Temple were simply two worlds, noisy outside, and there were countless troubles, but as soon as he stepped into the temple, he felt that the whole person was relaxed.
There is a five-foot-high pure copper incense burner in the courtyard, Xu Jinyu bought a pillar of incense and inserted it on it, the smoke is fragrant, she is in it, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, not like the world.
Xu Jinyu said: "You also come to burn a pillar." ”
Qi Chu said with a smile: "If burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is useful, how can there be so many poor people in this world?"
"Shhhh ”
Qi Chu said again: "If the Buddha is like me, it is really in vain that he has recited so many scriptures and received so much incense. ”
Xu Jinyu had no choice but to take him, so he entered the hall by himself. Qi Chu looked up and saw that the plaque on the hall read the words "Heavenly King Palace", and he reluctantly followed in. I saw that the hall ** enshrined a statue of Maitreya Buddha, and the two sides were separated from the four statues of the four heavenly kings.
Xu Jinyu asked the little monk for the sticker, knelt in front of the Maitreya Buddha statue, closed her eyes, recited the Buddha's name devoutly, and she shook the sticker. Qi Chu noticed that there was a look of pain on her face, and suddenly a bamboo stick fell out.
At this time, a village girl hurriedly ran into the outside of the hall, knelt on the futon and began to cry, crying and shouting: "My Buddha, please show me where my son is now, he is only five years old, and he can't be fine." ”
Seeing her crying sadly, Xu Jinyu stepped forward to help the village girl and asked, "Eldest sister, has something happened?" ”
The village girl took Xu Jinyu's hand and cried: "My son is missing, and he hasn't been found for three days, he must have had an accident." ”
When Qi Chu heard this, another child was missing, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is it a kidnapping?"
The village girl was even more sad and said: "I haven't been notified by the kidnappers, and I can't find the child's body, what can I do!"
Qi Chuxin said: This situation is the same as Shi Zique and Yang Yiwei, they all disappeared out of thin air, and then there was no news. Is there such a coincidence in the world?
Then he asked, "Where did the child go missing?"
The village girl said sadly: "In the vicinity of Majia Village, it is said that Majia Village is haunted, so it is possible that the evil ghosts have been caught." So she cried even more, Qi Chu wanted to ask something again, she became incoherent and staggered out of the hall.
Xu Jinyu knew Qi Chu, presumably he knew about it, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Qi Chu didn't answer, and suddenly rushed out of the hall, and the speed of his movements frightened Xu Jinyu. Xu Jinyu immediately went out with him, only to hear Qi Chu ask, "What about people?"
"Who?"
"That village girl. "Qi Chu looked around, where is there still the shadow of the village girl?
"It's gone. ”
"Walking so fast, not even leaving a footprint. Qi Chu said in a deep voice
Xu Jinyu knew that something was wrong, and walked up to look for it, "There are really no footprints." ”
At this moment, the two of them found that there were still many incense people in the courtyard just now, but now there is no one, and the most terrifying thing is that all the incense in the pure copper incense burner has been extinguished!
Qi Chu's heart sank to the bottom and said, "Something is wrong, let's leave immediately." As soon as he pulled Xu Jinyu's hand, her hand was still a little warm.
Xu Jinyu said: "Go and see if the little monk inside is still there." ”
Qi Chu understood that if the little monk in the hall was not there, all this was arranged by others. He took Xu Jinyu's hand and turned around and walked back, he would definitely not let go when the danger came at this moment!
The two returned to the hall, fortunately the little monk was still there, at this time the little monk was packing up the futon, he turned his back to Qi Chu and the two, and said, "Why doesn't the donor look at what kind of sign he is asking for?"
Xu Jinyu remembered that the bamboo stick was still in his hand, and when he looked down, there was a word written on it.
Die!
His heart was half cold, and then he looked at the little monk, his body was wrapped under the monk's robe, and his exposed neck was actually loose and wrinkled!
Qi Chu reacted and shouted "withdraw". At this moment, the little monk suddenly turned around, it was a child-like cute face, with a smile, but there was clearly a pair of fangs among the snow-white teeth he showed when he smiled!
There was a faint laughter in the hall, and the little monk raised his hands, and at least twenty kinds of hidden weapons flew towards Qi Chu and the others. At this moment, Xu Jinyu looked back, the outside was no longer empty, but crowded with small monks of general height, all of them looked eerie and terrifying under the sunset, they were all smiling, and there were the same fangs in their exposed teeth!
It's the scariest smile in the world!
Countless little monks outside raised their hands at the same time, and Xu Jinyu knew that at least a thousand hidden weapons were shooting at them.
Before and after, there is no way out in the sky and on the ground!
She turned her head to look at Qi Chu, his heart was like an ancient well, and he was not shocked. Streamer Gongzi has experienced countless dangers in his life, thousands of times on the line of life and death, even if death really comes, he is still calm.
Qi Chu hugged Xu Jinyu's slender waist with his right hand, his anger sank into the dantian, and his eyes shot a cold light.
I only heard him say coldly: "Draw the ground"
The voice was not loud, but these two words were like thunder on these little monks, and everyone was stunned.
When they came back to their senses again, Qi Chu and Xu Jinyu were already standing in the courtyard unharmed.
This trick is to draw the ground in the eight changes of the dragon god - allow me to draw the ground as a prison and get out of the shell for your golden cicada!
Back then, Qi Chu used this trick to defeat the Passing Water Sword Shi Youfei.
Yan Han said: When you are embattled, you can escape with one move.
At this time, after the red sun fell down the mountain in an instant, the night covered the four sides of heaven and earth like a big net, and no corner could escape from this big black net. All living beings are like fish and shrimp struggling in a net, the more they struggle, the tighter they stick.
However, Qi Chu smiled, leisurely and indifferently, completely ignoring the danger in front of him. His eyebrows were stretched, his eyes were soft, and he was still the murderous streamer boy just now.
There was no moon in the sky, and the black clouds were overwhelming, but the faint green light on his body was sublimated, adding a touch of brilliance to the dark night, and the hand holding Xu Jinyu did not let go, and said softly in her ear: "Don't worry, I am here." ”
With these words, Xu Jinyu's hanging heart calmed down, she believed in Qi Chu, no one in the world could not believe in Qi Chu, even his enemies would believe him, because he was Qi Chu of "Jade Xiao Heaping the Moon, Man Conquers the Sky".
The little monk in the hall slapped his face and walked out step by step, if Lan Ting was here, he would definitely ask: "One step, one jump, then how did you get out?"
The little monk stood under the plaque of the "Heavenly King Palace" and said with a smile: "It is worthy of the eight changes of the dragon god, and it is powerful." ”
Qi Chu didn't speak, and the little monk said again: "Doesn't Childe want to ask who I am?"
At this time, the little monks in the courtyard had already surrounded the two, and this time they must not let Qi Chu and the others escape, but can anyone in the world really trap Qi Chu?
Qi Chu still didn't mean to speak, Xu Jinyu said: "Who wouldn't know the short-legged ghost Wu Ke in the ghost city mirage?"
Wu Keren smiled: "Boss Xu has good eyesight, and he admires and admires him." ”
Xu Jinyu said again: "We are the same age, but you look really old."
Wu Ke said: "If you are busy killing people every day, you will inevitably look haggard." ”
Xu Jinyu said with a smile: "For a person like you, shouldn't the ghost mirage be paid more?"
Wu Ke said: "It's good to have a livelihood to beg for food these days, where to ask for any reward." ”
Xu Jinyu said: "Kill us two this time, you can make a lot of money." ”
Wu Ke said: "No, there are 100,000 taels of silver." ”
The two of you come and go, and it doesn't look like you're going to kill someone at all. But Xu Jinyu knew in her heart that although she had escaped, these four people were all the other party's people, and it was not easy to escape, so she was delaying Qi Chu's time, hoping that he could come up with a foolproof plan.
But Qi Chu never thought about escaping from beginning to end, because he had been thinking about how to kill the Wuke people, although this was an impossible thing, but in the eyes of the Streamer Gongzi, there was never an impossibility.
Qi Chu finally spoke: "I've been thinking about how a man can take a woman's name like 'Keren'. ”
The Uko laughed, "My name doesn't mean cute people, but terrible people. ”
Qi Chu smiled: "But you don't look scary, just a little funny." ”
Xu Jinyu smiled and said, "When are you still joking, people are going to kill us." ”
Qi Chu smiled: "I suddenly thought of a joke. ”
Although Wu Keren is relaxed on the surface, he is extremely nervous in his heart, you must know that he is facing a streamer boy, and Qi Chu can easily escape just now. If you miss again, I'm afraid you'll lose your head when you go back. But when they should be nervous, Qi Chu and Xu Jinyu showed a relaxed look, and what was even more hateful was that Qi Chu even had to tell some jokes.
Wu Keren scolded in his heart: It's really special, yes, why is this streamer boy so unserious, when is it, and he still wants to make women happy.
Xu Jinyu said: "If you think of any jokes, tell me about it." ”
Qi Chu said seriously: "Once upon a time there was a eunuch, and there was a ...... below" He deliberately lowered his voice in order to attract the attention of the Uke people.
Wu Ke people were concentrated, they were afraid that Qi Chu would play some tricks, and suddenly heard below, and then they couldn't hear it, and they were anxious and listened attentively. He was afraid that Qi Chu would pass on some code to Xu Jinyu, but he never expected that Qi Chu would suddenly say in a particularly loud voice: "It's gone below-" He deliberately lengthened his voice.
Wu Ke's heart was shocked, and he naturally reacted to read the two sentences together, "Once upon a time, there was a eunuch, and there was no one below, hahaha." He couldn't hold back his laughter for a while, but just as he was laughing, Qi Chu made a move!
