The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations
Chapter 19 The Prince of the Marquisate who died in the battle is back 12
The wheels rolled forward. It was fine in the city, with only slight bumps, and since the floor in the car was thick, it didn't feel too much.
It's a different story once you get out of the city. Even the main road is uneven, and with the thawing of the underground frozen soil in spring, there are potholes on the roads with more traffic.
At first, Xiao Yun could still drink a cup of tea leisurely, but now he can only sit close to the wall of the carriage, holding on to two maids.
Alas... the means of transportation and traffic conditions at that time were really terrible. No wonder the ancients would stay at home if possible. It was really a suffering.
Huiling Temple is just on the outskirts of the city, only twenty or thirty miles away from Pingxi Marquis Mansion. It took nearly an hour to get there.
This carriage can only go to the foot of the mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to walk up 900 stone steps by yourself. It is said that this is to show sincerity. Only those who are sincere to Buddhism can be blessed by the Buddha and have their wishes come true.
Of course, this cannot stop the devout believers. There is an endless stream of people going up the mountain to burn incense every day, and it is even more crowded on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
Because the founding emperor of this dynasty believed in Buddhism, civil and military officials and the common people followed suit and also believed in it, so there were many temples, and at the peak there were even more than a thousand!
Later, due to some chaos, some small temples built privately by the people, some of which even had no monks to manage, were demolished, leaving only some larger ones with eminent monks in charge.
Huiling Temple is the largest among them, occupying the entire Yunxiu Mountain. The temple is built very majestically. From the foot of the mountain is the territory of Huiling Temple. Even the royal family came here to worship Buddha. It is just short of being named a national temple.
After getting off the carriage and getting used to the feeling of being on solid ground for a while, everyone started to climb up the stairs.
The coachman stayed behind to watch the carriage, while the guards and maids followed their masters up.
Xiao Yun was supported by Hongling and Cuiyun as she walked up. After all, she had just recovered from an illness, so she had to pretend to be well.
However, her look was not out of place, because all the ladies or wives looked like that. The old marquis's wife was even almost carried away by two strong maids, so no one should laugh at anyone else.
It took nearly two quarters of an hour to climb to the front gate of the temple. Here, a little higher up the hill, there is a mountain gate hall. After the mountain gate hall, there are dozens of steps to the front side hall. Going up further is the main hall, which is the Great Hall. The other halls also go up, extending all the way to the top of the mountain.
So if you look from the bottom of the mountain or from a distance, the whole mountain is a complex of temple buildings, which is very spectacular.
Their destination today is the Changming Hall at the back, which is a place dedicated to ever-bright lamps. The shelves in front of the Buddha statue and on both sides are filled with rows of butter lamps, some for deceased ancestors and some for living elders.
They first knelt on the cushion in the middle of the hall and worshiped, then burned incense. Then the old marquis' wife and the marquis' wife followed the monk to put the incense money in the merit box, and then went to the wing room at the back which was specially provided for pilgrims to rest.
They asked for three rooms to rest separately. They definitely wouldn't be able to get back in time for lunch and had to have vegetarian lunch here, so they could take a short rest now.
Xiao Yun asked Hongling and Cuiyun to rest outside on their own and not to disturb her, saying that they were tired from climbing the mountain.
After the surroundings became quiet and she was sure that everyone had rested, she took out an invisibility talisman from the space, stuck it on her body, and climbed out directly through the back window.
This is the back courtyard of Huiling Temple. Behind the wing rooms is a gable, and behind that is a forest.
According to legend, King Ping had an accident in the woods behind. He was found this afternoon. He was already dead at that time, which means he should be there now. It is hard to say whether he is alive or dead.
She was also taking a gamble. If she won, it would be a good thing, but if she lost, it wouldn't affect her at all. She could just pretend that it had never happened.
Fortunately, the gable was not high, less than six feet, or about 1.7 meters. She took a running start, pushed herself up with both hands, and easily flipped over.
Although this body did not have any martial arts skills, what she had learned in previous lives was still there. In addition, it had been conditioned with elixirs, so basic moves and actions could be said to be at her fingertips.
After climbing over the wall, she ran towards the center of the forest. Because her hearing was now much sharper, she could hear the sounds of fighting over there, not only the clashing of swords, but also the muffled sounds of close combat.
The speed reached the limit of this body, and she arrived at the fighting place in almost a moment. She did not rush into the center of the fight rashly. Anyway, she was invisible now, so she just watched from a distance.
Two groups of people were fighting. One side had seven people in casual clothes, six of them were surrounding a man in fancy clothes in the middle.
On the other side was a group of masked men in tight clothes, about a dozen of them, surrounding and beating them.
Of course, they don't wear black, but earth-gray ones. It is easy to hide in the mountains and forests. If you wear black clothes in broad daylight, it would seem a bit abnormal.
Now they are still evenly matched, but those masked men did not kill. It didn't seem like they were trying to kill, but rather to delay time.
Xiao Yun took a closer look and found that he was indeed the most handsome man in the capital. His appearance was truly amazing, with a full forehead, a square chin, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He looked both heroic and gentle. His contradictory appearance and temperament, when combined together, created a very eye-catching aura.
Standing there at this moment, she should have looked embarrassed, but she made people feel elegant and graceful, like a mountain and a deep pool.
She decided to save him and make him marry her!
As for Chu Hongyi, when he comes back, let him be her ex-husband. If he doesn't want to, let him be her deceased husband. Anyway, he can't delay her from finding another husband!
No. 11: "Your current thoughts are very dangerous. The information I have about you is that although you lack morality, you will not significantly break the moral bottom line. Please do not let yourself go just because you are in a small world!"
"!!!"
Xiao Yun was startled by its sudden voice, and patted his chest before saying: "Your information is incomplete. My moral bottom line is all due to my poverty. If I had money, do you think I would have supported eight or ten gigolos in my previous life?
Besides, I am not letting myself go. I am planning to save people first, dump Chu Hongyi and then hook up with him. I am not two-timing. My values are so positive!"
No. 11: "Why don't you save them now? Do you have to wait until all the guards are dead and King Ping is in a life-and-death situation?"
"Are you stupid? They are fine now, why should I save them? Besides, helping them now is called helping. You can just say thank you and get rid of me. If you want to show me a favor, of course you have to show it big.
Appearing when the other party is most desperate is like a ray of light inserted into the darkness. If the other party is a beautiful girl or a handsome boy, then she is definitely the white moonlight, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life!
Besides, weren't those guards dead in their previous lives? I'm just respecting other people's fate, what's wrong with that?"
No. 11...speechless.
Seeing that it had calmed down, Xiao Yun turned his attention back to the fight in front.
After the two sides fought back and forth for about half a quarter of an hour, King Ping's guards were at a disadvantage. After all, the other side had more people and their physical strength was easily depleted.
At this moment, King Ping suddenly staggered, bent over and spat out a mouthful of black blood, then fell directly to the ground!
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
