Chapter 496 Sister Lu?

The rising sun is rising in the east, and the morning glow is shining on the light grassland outside Huangming Mountain. Countless people from the Xihai tribe who came from various tribes gathered around the Wuma tribe's Dazhai.

In the mountains behind Dazhai, there are still stragglers from time to time, who are taken out by the Wuma tribe and placed together outside the city wall; the corpses have been collected and buried in burial pits to avoid the plague in summer.

Fan Qinghe put on his favorite red and yellow gauze skirt, holding the sleeping bird in his arms, looking up at the soldiers on the cliff, waiting for Ye Jingtang and others to come out, but he had to wait until dawn , and there was no sign of Night Terror Hall.

Fan Qinghe is not the only one looking for the whereabouts of Ye Jingtang.

After Master Xuanji finished fighting in the cave, he pretended to chase Hua Junchen and others. When he returned, all the soldiers of the Shatuo tribe had surrendered. Yao Cishan said that Ye Jingtang was chasing Huang Liansheng.

Seeing this, Master Xuanji naturally couldn't go back directly, so he split up with Yao Cishan and others to search for the whereabouts of Ye Jingtang in the intricate caves.

Although Master Xuanji is not good at finding Minglongtu, his tracking ability is not bad, otherwise he would not be able to catch Fan Qinghe for more than half a year.

At this time, deep in the cave, the real person Xuanji was dressed in snow-white clothes, with an acacia sword hanging on his waist. He was holding a torch and stopped at a fork to carefully examine the marks on the wall.

Ye Jingtang was flying at full speed and could step on the snow without leaving a trace, but Huang Liansheng obviously couldn't leave traces when he was running for his life. As long as he checked carefully, he could find tiny cracks on the rock wall that appeared when he pedaled with force.

Master Xuanji followed the footprints all the way, and he didn't know how long he traveled until he gradually reached the end of a forked road, and the traces also reached the end.

Ta Ta ~

Master Xuanji held the torch, looked up at the six-armed Buddha statue behind the water pool, and then looked down at the water pool.

There were splashes of water on the edge of the pool, which looked like there had been waves not long ago; and there were still swirling white leaves floating in the water, stained with some blood.

Master Xuanji squatted down, picked up the leaf, and felt for a while, knowing that he had found the location of Bailian. After observing for a while, he found that there was no disturbance or vibration on the other side, then he took the Acacia sword and slid silently into the water like a fish, along the waterway. Dive towards the white light spot ahead...

——

Wow~

The water gushing from the spring mouth turned the water surface at the edge of the platform into sparkling water, and the figure in black robes soaking below could be vaguely seen.

Hua Qingzhi wrapped her whole body in a blanket. Because she was tired from sitting, she was lying on the edge of the platform, looking intently into the water.

Ye Jingtang's red skin color did not change at all, and bruises continued to appear on his body. Although it did not recover, it did not continue to worsen.

Hua Qingzhi didn't know how to help, so she could only silently pray for God's blessing. As time went by, she worried that Ye Jingtang would drown if she didn't get out of the water for ventilation.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Hua Qingzhi couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to call out a few times. However, before she could open her mouth, she suddenly heard:

Wow~

The sound came from the other side of the lotus pond, near the headless body.

Hua Qingzhi trembled in shock, raised her eyes and looked around, and found that the headless corpse in the water seemed to be really moving. Her face instantly turned pale, wanting to remind Ye Jingtang that the corpse was fake.

But at this moment, water spray burst out from the opposite side of the lotus pond, and a figure jumped out, bringing with it the sound of a bright sword.

"ah--!"

Hua Qingzhi screamed in fright, and quickly shrank back, looking up at the headless figure flying out of the water... No, there was a head!

Hua Qingzhi noticed that there was a head, and quickly looked carefully. She could see the flying figure, dressed in snow-white clothes, holding a three-foot long sword, and his demeanor was very fairy-like.

"Sister Lu?!"

Hua Qingzhi saw the person coming clearly, as if seeing a life-saving straw, she hurriedly shouted:

"Sister Lu, come here quickly, something happened at Night Terror Hall..."

"Um?"

Master Xuanji was looking for traces of Ye Jingtang. His heart sank when he heard these words, and he quickly jumped to the other side on the white lotus:

"Where are the people from Night Terror Hall?"

Wow~

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jingtang, who was dressed in black robe, jumped out from under Hua Qingzhi, her face was red, her body was covered with bulging muscles and bruises, her originally heroic eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, although they were not fierce, But with visible pain.

"Night Terror Hall?!"

Master Xuanji's face turned a little pale when he saw his face clearly for the first time. He thought that Ye Jingtang was possessed by a maniac, or that the hidden disease caused by the Minglong Tu had broken out. He immediately threw away his sword and rushed to Ye Jingtang. Trying to hold Night Terror Hall.

But what Xuanji didn't expect was that Ye Jingtang, who seemed to be worse than dead, would rush him in both directions at this time!

Ye Jingtang sank into the water and leaned on the ice water to cool down. Although it could barely relieve the burning heat from the inside out, the pain of the limbs being torn and then healed was unavoidable. From just now to now, he has been using Willpower to resist.

Although the pain has reached its limit and has not been intensified, Ye Jingtang's willpower is approaching its limit as time goes by, and he urgently needs to do something to divert his attention.

Seeing Shui'er suddenly coming over, Ye Jingtang was even more excited than Hua Qingzhi. He immediately jumped out of the water, hugged Shui'er in the air, spun around and landed on the platform, and then:

"Boo boo boo~..."

"Yeah~!"

Master Xuanji was caught off guard and claimed that Ye Jingtang did not distinguish between friend and foe. When she found out that Ye Jingtang only kissed her, she breathed a sigh of relief and held Ye Jingtang's wrist to check the situation.

Hua Qingzhi, however, was not a martial artist, so her reaction was a little slow. When the two landed, they realized that Young Master Ye had actually held the Queen's master in his arms. He only touched her buttocks and even kissed her!

"Young Master Ye?! You..."

Hua Qingzhi's expression suddenly changed. She thought Ye Jingtang had gone crazy, so she rushed forward and tried to pull Ye Jingtang away:

"Let Sister Lu go quickly, you can't do this..."

Tear~

The collar of the white skirt was pulled open, revealing the white shoulders and the hollow coat. His big hands directly covered it, rounding and flattening it, making it impossible to pull it.

Master Xuanji held Ye Jingtang's wrist to check his physical condition, and found that his pulse condition could no longer be described as chaotic. It was completely obsessive and could not detect anything other than boiling energy and blood.

Master Xuanji didn't know the reason either, so she could only tilt her head to let Ye Jingtang kiss her neck, and hurriedly comforted:

"It's okay, it's okay. Use the bathing fire diagram to stabilize your body and stay awake. Don't lose your mind..."

Hua Qingzhi saw that Xuanji didn't struggle, and even stood on tiptoes, letting Ye Jingtang bury it in her chest. She also understood the seriousness of the situation:

"What happened to Night Terror Hall? He won't die, right?"

Xuanji didn't know yet. Anyway, she couldn't refuse what Ye Jingtang wanted to do. But in front of Hua Qingzhi, she felt embarrassed and immediately made a resolute look of "If I don't go to hell, who will?":

"His body is too abnormal and there is nothing he can do about it... Don't be afraid, I will save him."

As she spoke, the tulle coat was pushed up, revealing the perfectly curved upside-down jade bowl.

Hua Qingzhi's eyes suddenly showed a strange color. She was not stupid and could naturally see what Ye Jingtang wanted to do now.

Ye Jingtang was hiding in the water motionless just now, but now he has become so crazy. You don't need to think about it to know how much willpower Ye Jingtang used to stick to his heart just now in order not to hurt her.

But if I don’t want to hurt her, I can’t hurt Sister Lu either!

Sister Lu is the Queen's mentor and Mr. Ye's senior. Isn't this against moral standards?

Hua Qingzhi wanted to stop this kind of thing that would make Mr. Ye regret it, but Ye Jingtang was like this. If she could stop it, why not do it in her place...

It would be better to replace her than to let Sister Lu lose her innocence!

Hua Qingzhi secretly gritted her teeth, wanting to sacrifice her life to save Sister Lu, but before she could muster the courage, she saw Ye Jingtang pull down Sister Lu's skirt, tear off the bow, and reveal her hairless...

? !

Hua Qingzhi quickly tilted her head, tears welling up in her eyes. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and rushed forward:

"Master Ye, why don't you...Eh? Don't touch there!"

Master Xuanji, who has always been open-minded, felt ashamed at this moment and tried his best to act like an elder and said:

"He can't listen, you...sigh..."

Because there was nowhere to hide on the platform, and Master Xuanji was too embarrassed to mess around in front of Hua Qingzhi, she hugged Ye Jingtang, flew up and tapped on the rock wall, and flew to the dragon head in the center.

"Eh?"

Hua Qingzhi didn't expect Sister Lu to be able to fly so high naked. She didn't know Qinggong either, so she could only look up at the top of the night pearl.

As a result, they saw Sister Lu being pushed down by Young Master Ye as soon as she landed. Then she quickly raised her snow-white neck, her shoulders hanging outside the dragon's head, and she could see her red cheeks biting her lower lip, and her nails almost scratched Ye Ye. Jingtang's arms, he wanted to speak but couldn't.

When Hua Qingzhi saw Sister Lu's painful expression, she naturally understood that the end was done, and tears immediately came out.

It was obviously too late to dissuade her at this moment, and she had no ability to save it.

Seeing Sister Lu start to tremble wildly, covering her red lips to avoid her gaze, Hua Qingzhi's heart was twisted, and she finally turned her back to avoid Sister Lu's embarrassment. She kept blaming herself for being useless and treating Lu badly. elder sister.

Hua Qingzhi was studious since she was a child and had read all kinds of books. Although she didn't specifically read miscellaneous books such as The Secret History of Queen Marietta, she happened to look through them and read a lot.

According to the description in the book, when this happens, it should be a scene where the two of them wake up soon, Mr. Ye regrets and apologizes, and Sister Lu is heartbroken but does not blame Mr. Ye.

But unfortunately, the progress of the two of them was much slower than she imagined. They had to wait for a day...

——

At the same time, Shazhou.

A carriage escorted by more than thirty horsemen and guards was parked outside a small town in the desert. She Long and his men went to the town to fetch water, while three figures stood on horseback at the entrance of the town, looking at the greenery in the distance.

Dongfang Liren, who was dressed elegantly and had a red fox sword hanging on his waist, was in the middle and said:

"No wonder the previous dynasty wanted to destroy the Buddha. In the desolate desert, it was possible to build such a huge temple. The seven-story golden-domed pagoda is more magnificent than my king's Mingyu Tower..."

Pei Xiangjun, with a spear hanging on his side and dressed like a heroic desert heroine, responded:

"There are indeed many ways for monks to make money, but Qianfo Temple also follows the rules of the world. The people pay the tribute, and the monks inside do their work. The horse bandits in Shazhou are much less than the 'heroes of Liangzhou'..."

Now that Dongfang Liren hears the words "Liangzhou hero", he feels angry in his heart.

Last time in Honghe Town, the police under the Hei Yamen lost two good horses, which made her lose her status in front of many generals. Because Ye Jingtang went out to do business, she had no shame to stay in the army, so she took the Queen Mother with her. Come out and relax.

Unexpectedly, the journey along the way was similar to the difficulties encountered in 1981. There were no bandits due to the large number of people and horses, but as long as someone dared to rest in the town, someone would definitely steal something at night.

In the meantime, the police arrested two of them and called the police in the town to send the thieves to Honghe Town. But when they turned around, they discovered that the official was also pretending to be an accomplice, and they had to take the thieves away under their noses!

Dongfangli people didn't dare to talk about such a shameful thing. When they arrived in Shazhou, they didn't meet many monsters and ghosts, so they really agreed with Sanniang's words.

After Dongfang Liren looked at it for a moment, he turned to look at the Tsing Yi heroine standing next to him:

"Ning'er, is your enemy inside?"

Luo Ning was riding on the horse, looking a little dazed. She was obviously recalling the scenes when she was a wealthy lady when she was young. When she heard Dongfang Liren's words, she came back to her senses:

"Yes. I came here once before, and Monk Shenchen said that the man repented and advised me to let go of my obsession."

"Killing requires a life. If you repent and you can get away with it, why do you need the king's law?"

Dongfang Liren thought for a moment and asked:

"How about I ask him to hand him over?"

Luo Ning thought about revenge countless times, and even worked for Bai Jin for many years, but when she heard these words, she hesitated.

After all, although Monk Shenchen was from the Wei Dynasty, because of his suppression of Buddhism, he basically had a quarrel with the imperial court.

If the imperial court wants to deal with Monk Shenchen, it can only send Lu Taiqing there. The outcome of this move is unpredictable. Even if Lu Taiqing wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory. In calculation, it is equivalent to the Southern Dynasty cutting off its arms and losing two saints at the same time. .

For this reason, as long as Monk Shenchen recited sutras honestly and did not commit any offense, the court would never touch Monk Shenchen. Even if Monk Shenchen wanted to be loyal, the court would have to win over and support him.

If Da Benben helps her to get someone as Prince Jing, and Monk Shen Chen refuses to be friends with her, it means he is contemptuous of the imperial power. If the court can't get rid of him, he must send someone to teach Monk Shen Chen how to behave.

And if Monk Shenchen is forced to surrender under pressure, the two sides will definitely have a grudge. Monk Shenchen may not be able to do anything to Da Wei, but what if he can't stand this coward and runs to Beiliang?

Luo Ning's matter was a personal grudge. She didn't want to cause trouble for the empress and the court because of herself. After thinking about it, she said:

"The world is about the world. If His Highness ends up, it will involve too much and break the rules of the world. From now on, when Ye Jingtang is free, let him come and talk to Monk Shenchen as my friend."

Dongfang Liren nodded and didn't say much. He turned back to look at the carriage:

"Mother, should we go directly to Crescent Bay or go to Thousand Buddha Temple?"

In the carriage behind, the Queen Mother held a fan and admired the scenery from the window. She was thinking about Crescent Bay. Because she did not believe in Buddhism, she was not very interested in places like Thousand Buddha Temple. When asked by Li Ren, she said:

"The weather is hot, so I won't go. If you want to go, you can go. Remember to bring a guard."

Dongfang Liren saw this and gently pinched the horse's belly: "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way you can win every battle. I will go to spy on the enemy first."

Sanniang was definitely worried that Embroidered Pillow Benben was running around alone, so she immediately followed her on horseback, while Luo Ning stayed where she was.

Thousand Buddha Temple is a Buddhist holy land with more than 4,000 monks. It occupies an entire oasis a hundred miles away from Shazhou City. There are not only lakes, but also hills and woods inside. It is quite large and looks like a small city from a distance.

Although the imperial court did not advocate Buddhism, the people in the Southern and Northern Dynasties worshiped whoever was useful. Every year, many people made a special trip here to offer incense. The smell of incense could be smelled two miles away from Qianfo Temple, and a large number of people began to appear on the road. Horse and camel teams.

Dongfang Liren, along with Sanniang, She Long and others, pretended to be ordinary business travelers, dismounted outside Qianfo Temple, and walked into the temple grounds on foot. They wanted to visit the seven-story pagoda.

As a result, as soon as I walked nearby, I saw a group of monks performing rituals under the pagoda.

There was also a handyman monk standing next to him, his face full of sadness, as if his parents had passed away.

Dongfang Liren was a little confused when he saw this. He came to look at it for a few times. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at the monk who was carrying two buckets of water with a sad face:

"This seems to be a ritual to save the souls of the dead. May I ask, master, who passed away?"

The monk who was carrying two buckets of water quickly put the buckets down when he saw this, put his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute:

"For the donor, this is for the leader Huang Lianshenghuang of the Shatuo tribe to perform a ritual."

"oh?"

Although Dongfang Liren was traveling outside, she was not blind to what was happening outside the window. She had not heard the news that the leader of the Shatuo Tribe was dead, and there were no such rumors in Shazhou. She naturally asked:

"Huang Liansheng passed away?"

The handyman monk’s eyes were full of pain:

"I don't know, but if the abbot performs rituals, he is probably dead."

"...?"

Dongfang Liren felt puzzled when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he asked again:

"Why does Master look sad? Are you acquainted with Chief Huang Liansheng?"

The handyman monk shook his head and sighed, looking towards the northwest desert:

"There was a secular fate, but death is like a lamp extinguished, it is over. The monk still has to go back to the kitchen to cook a fast meal. I can't explain it carefully to the donor, so I ask the donor for your forgiveness."

Dongfang Liren nodded slightly and did not embarrass the handyman monk. After watching his back go through the vicissitudes of life, he turned around:

"This group of monks are all in love with each other and won't finish their words. Let's go and send someone to check to see if Huang Liansheng is dead."

Pei Xiangjun walked beside him. After leaving Qianfo Temple, he looked back:

"Monk Shenchen is a mountain man who has been famous for many years. He shouldn't be doing things openly in the temple and cursing people to death. I guess they are really dead."

She Long also whispered: "According to rumors, the Shatuo tribe has become very powerful outside the customs in recent years. Monk Shenchen is the overlord of Shazhou to put it bluntly. It is not impossible that Huang Liansheng was killed just because he didn't like it..."

"Let's check first and then..."

Hooves, hoofs, hoofs~

While chatting, the group slowly left Thousand Buddha Temple...
