The Buddha Temple is not pure

Ji Luoyu came out with a shawl as thin as a cicada's wings, her embroidered skirt was winding, her fragrant shoulders were half exposed, and she was bewildered by how many people she looked at for a while.

Mr. Ji Boqian got this girl in his later years, and he loved her very much. He always regarded her as the apple of his eye, and didn't want her to show her face easily. It was rumored that there was a fairy girl in the Ji family, who was comparable to Xishi Diaochan. It's a pity for you, today is considered a rush, and it's worth listening to the shrew swearing for a long time to feast your eyes!

Grandma Xu squinted her eyes and curled her lips and said: "This is the pre-girl. She was born upright. She came out because she was disheveled. I'm afraid she's not a coquettish girl. That's why your master doesn't want you to show it to others easily, for fear of losing his card. Old face, what good can Hibiscus learn from being with a master like you."

"Keep your mouth clean!" Fourth Master Xing, who was still joking and disrespectful just now, became angry at this moment. It seems that my sister really is the bottom line that cannot be violated.

"Fourth brother, it doesn't matter." Ji Luoyu walked down the steps neither humble nor overbearing, "Grandma Xu, I'm sorry, if it wasn't for going up the mountain to find the impatiens that haven't faded, Hibiscus wouldn't have disappeared. The responsibility lies with me, I have nothing to do To shirk, I will devote all of Ji's strength to find the whereabouts of Hibiscus, and I will give you an explanation whether it is dead or alive, Grandma Xu can rest assured."

"It seems that the girl's ears are not very good, as I said just now, as long as you get 120 taels of silver, whether she lives or dies is a matter for your Ji family. Right? Don’t let people look down upon such a big family.”

Ji Luoyu's face was slightly sullen, and the hands in his sleeves were already trembling inadvertently: "Money is a small matter, but human life is a big matter! Hibiscus has been serving me by my side since she was a child. She is respectful and diligent, let alone 120 taels. One thousand two hundred taels is what I should have given to honor your old man, but now her life and death are uncertain, how can we make up our own minds to break her relationship with a mere 200 taels of silver? Wouldn't it be a pity if you couldn't enter the Xu family's grave?"

"Your Ji's family was born, and your Ji's family gave it away after death. I only want silver." Grandma Xu was determined to eat the weight.

Ji Luoyu took a deep breath, and said, "120 taels of silver, I will send it to Xu's family. The premise is that whether Fei Jin is alive or dead, it will be after I see her!"

"Hey, this, this is not trying to renege on the debt!" Grandma Xu was about to speak, but Ji Xuanzhen immediately stopped her, with a fierce look in her eyes: "My sister's words are clear enough, if you still want to make trouble for no reason, I will let you take money and spend it!"

Grandma Xu also knew that she was afraid, so she took three steps back against the crowd: "Young lady, you can do whatever you want, but what if you can't find anyone? If you can't find her in ten days, I'll wait for ten days. If you can't find her in ten years, I will How can the old woman wait for ten years?"

"Today, I will go up the mountain to look for it myself, within three days, no matter what the result is, the money will be sent to the Xu family, how about it?"

"Okay, okay, okay, then I'll go home and wait for the letter." Grandma Xu walked away timidly, and the surrounding neighbors scattered in disorder.

"Yu'er, it's just a maid, you don't have to go up the mountain to look for it yourself, the money will be given sooner or later, why bother to waste that trouble?" My sister usually knows the way up the mountain because she doesn't go out of the gate.Ji Xuanzhen was a little worried.

"It turns out that in the eyes of the fourth brother, maidservants are as cheap as worthless!"

"It's not cheap, 120 taels is a lot."

After hearing this, Ji Luoyu flung his sleeves and left angrily. Ji Xuanzhen was stunned and asked Zikou: "Did I say the wrong thing again?"

Zi Kou sneered: "Fourth Master is right, but you know our girl's disposition, she hates cold people the most in her life, Yin Zi can talk about the hot and cold of the world, but can't talk about the warm and cold of human feelings."

Ji Xuanzhen was thinking about Zikou's words, but unexpectedly, he was hit hard on the back of the head. With such strength and strength, he knew who it was without turning around.

"Father, are you awake?" He rubbed the back of his head and grinned in greeting.

"Annoyed your sister again?" The old man said he was about eighty years old, but he was full of energy, his eyes were piercing, and he was not like an ordinary gentry. He was covered in coarse linen clothes and wore a hat on his head. No one would have thought that such an unpretentious old man would be the head of the Ji family's Zhongming Dingshi clan.

"How dare I?"

The old man looked left and right and looked horizontally and vertically, no matter how you looked at him, he was not pleasing to the eye: "It's already autumn and you still carry a broken fan. Who doesn't know that you are thick-skinned and afraid of heat? Our family style has always been simple, how come you are so ugly?" An arty pot hammer, how many catties of books have you read? Pretending to be decent."

"Father, books don't matter how heavy they are."

"So what, two?"

"Listen to you, you are also a half-baked guy."

"Shut up, get out!" The old man pressed the brim of his hat, "Hurry up and order someone to follow your sister, if something happens to her, you don't have to come back to see me."

"Okay, let's go now." Ji Xuanzhen slipped away like a puff of smoke, thinking that his fourth master was not afraid of anything, but he was a child who loved his father and was also a hard-working child.

It was early autumn, and all the flowers were withered. It was not easy to find the impatiens that were still in full bloom. After trekking through mountains and rivers, weeds caught her ankles, and even the embroidered shoes were covered with cocklebur, which hurt and itched. Looking at the sun As the mountain fell, Ji Luoyu panicked, but worried about Ziko's anxiety, he smiled and said, "The four seasons are very good in the mountains, especially in July, when the autumn water is rippling and the withered leaves are falling. Even if it is bleak, it will become a scenery of its own."

"Girl, you still want to see the scenery. Go and sit down by the river. I'll straighten your shoes and socks for you. There are so many cockleburs that make it itchy and scratchable."

The mountain is not too high, but it is continuous. The two rivers are no more than a forest, but the gurgling water of the stream has some warmth, and it is not in a hurry. Even the stones are warm when they are near the stream. Ji Luoyu stretched his feet into it. I was also a little surprised when I was in the water. The clear water slowly flowing over the instep was like a gentle hand with almost human body temperature.

"It's strange that the water in this stream is warm."

Zi Kou smiled and said: "Of course, this stream flows down from the Lingquan. The water in the Lingquan is always warm in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It's just because there is a Mengjue Temple in front of it, and people at the bottom of the mountain can't go there easily. If it weren't for this, the Lingquan pool wouldn't be so clean."

"Interesting, I'd like to see it."

"Girl, don't forget why we came up to the mountain. Fei Jin's whereabouts are unknown, and it's not the time for sightseeing."

"I really think that if you find Lingquan, you may be able to find Hibiscus. She said earlier that there are unopened impatiens on the mountain. Impatiens love heat. It is obviously impossible to have them again in this season, but if there are spirits nearby It’s not necessarily the case with Quan’s words, and Hibiscus must know that’s why she went.”

Zi Kou nodded: "That makes sense, but seeing that the sun is about to set, let's look for it tomorrow. If we stay on the mountain at night, we might encounter some ferocious birds and beasts. Besides, the mountain road is difficult to walk... girl, laugh What? It's dangerous, I'm serious."

"Okay, don't always scare me, I can see the night road clearly, follow me and don't lose it."

"Does it have to be like this, girl?" Zi Kou was extremely reluctant, but still followed Ji Luoyu up the mountain.

The wind on the mountain was cold, and she shivered suddenly when she thought about going to Mengjue Temple. It seemed that the temple hadn't seen people inhabited for a long time.

"By the way, why haven't I heard of a temple on the mountain before?"

"Girl, you don't know, Mengjue Temple is said to be a thousand-year-old temple, but since the old abbot passed away more than ten years ago, the monks practicing in the temple have scattered and scattered, and it is no longer as popular as before. In addition, many temples have been built at the foot of the mountain in recent years, so no one is willing to travel across mountains and rivers to come here to burn incense and worship Buddha, let alone a few years ago, I heard that the temple..." Zikou stopped abruptly when she said this, gasped and refused Go on.

"What happened to the previous years?"

"Don't ask the girl, talk about these things that are easy to cause uncleanness at night."

Ji Luoyu smiled: "You, when did you become so timid? I'd like to hear some strange news about that temple."

Zi Kou wondered: "Girl wants to hear it, so I will say it, and I should also give myself courage. I can't remember whether it was three years ago or four years ago, and Yao Nong heard the news of a baby coming from Mengjue Temple." Crying, it was still at night, the girl thought, the temple is full of monks, not even a woman has a baby, but Yao Nong didn't think too much, and went to see it out of curiosity, who knows that people never came out after entering, outside There was only a tiger roar, and there was no movement after that, even the crying of the baby disappeared.

No one dared to go in anymore, so they had to wait until daytime to search for people in the temple, but the temple was empty, as if someone lived there but it didn't look like it. Anyway, the Yaonong who went in earlier had disappeared, not even bones left, let alone a baby. If this is the case, it is not unusual to think that tigers eat people, but then strange things happen again, every night there will still be babies crying, until the curfew in the whole city can not stop, they all say that it is tigers. The minions use the baby's cry to attract the prey, and then swallow it without spitting out the bones. "

"I seem to have walked this road." Ji Luoyu looked at the temple at the end of the rugged mountain road ahead, completely ignoring Zikou's legend.

The long stone steps are quite strange under the cold moonlight, but they reveal a quietness isolated from the world. The temple is simple and dilapidated, the white walls and black tiles have long been mottled, and green moss of different shades can be seen on the houses from a long distance away. It is the trace of being eaten by time, the evidence of thousands of years of wind and rain, such a scene should have a heavy rain.

For some reason, Ji Luoyu inadvertently thought of something, it was indescribable, it seemed that in a windy and rainy midnight, there seemed to be a warm, bright, calm and stable window, and someone was holding a vermilion pen, writing something... …

"Girl, girl!" Zi Kou shook her shoulders and summoned her soul, and she woke up, the moonlight was boundless, where was there any rain, where was there any vermilion pen.

"What's the matter with you, girl? Could it be that you were also fascinated by some minion? But I didn't hear the baby crying tonight."

"I just suddenly thought of something I don't know the so-called, that's all, let's go there."

Zi Kou was terrified: "Are we really going to go there? Did the girl just notice that many rabbits on the mountain went to the Mengjue Temple? Could it be that the minions couldn't attract people and came to attract rabbits again? It's too scary. Let's come again during the day."

"Why don't you go back first and tell Dad my whereabouts, don't worry him, I'm worried about Hibiscus, since we're all here, I decided to go in and have a look."

"You've already said that, how can I have the nerve to go back, if something happens to the girl, can I still live!"

Zikou looked at the rabbits running past them, and the more she looked, the more frightened she became. Ji Luoyu looked at those rabbits, the more she looked, the hungrier she became.

"These rabbits are really weird."

"That's right, I've never seen such a big rabbit at home. It's so plump. Let's grab two and roast them." After she said that, she babbled and walked on the mountain road for a day. She was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. Zi Kou also knew that her girl was fond of meat and was addicted to alcohol, but she never thought that at this time, she was still thinking about eating.

Where is she tossing about, Zi Kou took her three steps and made two steps to the front of Mengjue Temple, and then climbed up the long steps ruthlessly. It is easy to open and close the door, if it is said to be inhabited, why not repair it, and if it is said to be unoccupied, why is it so clean?

After pushing the door and entering, there is a huge incense cauldron. The fine sand inside is evenly spread, and the three incense sticks are burning evenly. Could it be that someone really takes care of it?The main hall and the side halls on both sides were not lit, and the doors and windows were tightly closed, airtight. Ji Luoyu looked around, and the place where the prayer plaque should have been hung was also empty. It seemed that Mengjue Temple There are really no pilgrims.

Rabbits slipped past their feet uninterruptedly, bypassing the main hall as if on purpose, and came to the backyard from both sides. Compared with the front door, this place is another world.

Suddenly, Ji Luoyu seemed to hear something, noisy, from far to near, and the noisy human voice seemed to be mixed with manic dog barking.

"Girl, did you hear that? It seems that someone is coming." Zi Kou pressed her heart, she had never experienced such a scene since she was a child.

"The moon is in the middle of the sky, who else can come to this temple?" The fire outside was so bright that it seemed like daytime, Ji Luoyu slipped through the door and took a look, oh, what a big battle!

A huge crowd of people crowded the gate of Mengjue Temple, completely breaking the tranquility of the temple.

A few short-haired dogs bared their fangs, and they couldn't hold back for a long time. These sharp-nosed and thin-waisted things didn't look like dogs, but like blue wolves that had been hungry for seven or eight days. They had ropes tied around their necks, and the ropes The handle of the head is held in the palm of the leader. He is dressed in brocade clothes, with a golden crown and jade face, but there is a cinnabar mole on the corner of his eyebrows and eyes, which ruins his beautiful face.

Duan Shiqing's contemptuous eyes swept across the Buddhist temple in front of him, his brows slightly frowned were full of upset.A few days ago, I managed to find a few fine dogs, but when I sent them to the city, they were detained by the city guards, and I just redeemed them today. I wanted to take them to the mountains for a walk to see if I could catch rabbits, but I never I think the rabbits are running up the mountain wave after wave, and what's even more strange is that they lined up and entered the Mengjue Temple. Is this going to form a group to fly to the moon?There was no other way, it was not his style to return without success, so he had no choice but to chase the fine dog up the mountain.

"What is the origin of this young man?"

Ji Luoyu's knuckles turned white, and the thin layers of sweat on her forehead could not be blown clean by the wind in the mountains. Her breathing also became heavy, and her teeth seemed to be clenched together with a heavy weight. She opened her mouth with difficulty, but only Three words: "Yu Liuqing."

Zi Kou was surprised, she had never heard of this name in Dongdu City at all: "Girl, not to mention the clothes and temperament of the young man in front of me, just his cinnabar mole alone can tell that he should belong to the Duan family Young master Duan Shiqing is right, who did you say he is?"

"So that's how it is." Ji Luoyu explained with a pale smile, "I forgot, he is now Mr. Duan Shiqing."

The little dog outside was impatient, Duan Shiqing gave up without hesitation, even though he didn't know what was weird in this temple, he was still led by the rabbit to break through the temple gate.

Zi Kou was undefended, and after screaming, she pulled Ji Luoyu to turn around and ran away, but Ji Luoyu sneered: It's really reincarnated and I can't escape!

"Master, there seems to be a voice inside."

"Yes, I heard it too, it seems to be a woman's voice."

"Where is the woman in the temple? Could it be that there are really some minions? Master, are we going there?"

Listening to their discussion, Duan Shiqing didn't say a word, and went straight after him. He has never believed in evil, and he doesn't bother to avoid such things.

In Mengjue Temple, the dog is chasing the rabbit fiercely, like a rampant massacre. Ji Luoyu and Zikou followed the rabbit and fled to the backyard. The long gravel road twists and turns. Seeing a stumbling block in front of her eyes, the moonlight was sparse and she couldn't see the way ahead clearly. Ji Luo predicted that the night would be like day, and she pulled Zi Kou to escape to the back door, but in a daze, she seemed to see something out of the corner of her eye.

The window with peeling vermilion lacquer and the corridor with statues and steles opposite it seem like a world away.

One didn't pay attention, and the two hands let go. Seeing the hounds rushing up, they were forced to hide on both sides. There was chaos in front of them. The smell of blood and white rabbit fur filled the entire courtyard. She was dizzy, obviously In times of crisis, why do you always think about what you have and what you don’t have.

"Zikou!"

"Girl, you go first, leave me alone, I will find the way by myself, you take care of yourself, go out the back door and walk up the stone road to the Lingquan, don't look down."

Looking at the chaos in front of her, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Ji Luoyu found the back door of the courtyard along the uneven gravel road. Want to gag.

But the hunt was not over yet. The rabbit escaped, which meant that the hounds were not far away. The barking dogs were getting closer, so she could only obey Ziko's words and walk up the stone road. I don't know what's under the miscellaneous rocks. It's too dark to see to the bottom, which makes people feel scared.

She was afraid of these hounds, and even more afraid of the man standing behind the hounds, a past she would never face.

When Duan Shiqing chased after her, he only saw her back in disheveled clothes. Under the cold moonlight, she looked a bit coquettish. This woman seemed familiar but had never seen her before. She haunted the desolate ancient temple in the middle of the night. With fragrant shoulders exposed at the crook of his arms, she is beautiful if she is beautiful, but she doesn't know how to behave. It's okay to seduce others with such methods, but he doesn't care. He hates women who have fallen into prostitution the most in his life, no matter how beautiful they are.
