"Master, you clearly know that I have no interest in eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. We have met three times, and every time you want me to follow you and become a monk. Are you harming me or saving me?"
Jin Changyue glanced at Sikong Ji who was lying motionless on the bed again, "Master, why don't you consider accepting King Jin as your disciple? With a body as weak as King Jin, he should give up worldly thoughts and follow you to worship Buddha and chant sutras, and his heart will be as calm as water." , in order to live longer.¡±
After saying this, he turned around and went out at an extremely fast speed. As soon as he left the door, he flashed and the person was gone.
"Amitabha."
Master Ciyuan sighed again.
He looked at Sikong Ji and closed his eyes. After a while, he seemed to smell a faint fragrance, and fell to the side in a daze.
Sikong Ji, who originally looked like he had been knocked unconscious, sat up, supported him, and slowly placed him on the bed.
He got out of bed, turned his head and glanced at Master Ci Yuan again, his eyes flashed, and he ran out quickly.
Jin Changyue was indeed more complicated than he had guessed.
So he was reluctant to let Ming Ruoxie see Jin Changyue. Even Master Ciyuan fell into his trick. Jin Changyue was definitely not as harmless as he looked.
But Tao Qi and Pei Wu followed the direction pointed by Ming Ruoxie and arrived at the mountain behind Huguo Temple.
The back mountain of Huguo Temple is actually inside Huguo Temple, because the entire mountain is still surrounded by the wall of Huguo Temple.
The mountain is also decorated with scenery, and stone steps are built at the halfway point. There is a pavilion at almost a hundred steps. There is also a Buddha in the pavilion and an incense burner in front.
There are seven pavilions and seven Buddhas in the whole mountain. Some people feel that they are more sincere, so they will burn incense in the whole temple and then climb up the back mountain. They worship at each pavilion and burn incense until they reach the top. This way they feel that the Buddha will see him. Your own sincerity helps you fulfill your wishes.
But the back mountain is closed in the evening.
Further up the Seventh Pavilion, the mountain becomes much steeper, so there are no steps to climb up. Only some young and strong pilgrims and young masters and buddies will sometimes climb up, because behind the Huguo Temple From the top of the mountain, you can see the entire Dazhen Imperial City.
That is an excellent viewing platform.
When Tao Qi and Pei Wu arrived at the gate of the back mountain, they saw a pool of blood red that seemed to be splashed on the vermilion gate.
It should be blood.
Tao Qi was one step ahead, so when Pei Wu arrived, he was standing by the door. He reached out and gently wiped the small pool of blood, rubbed it with his fingers, and then put it under his nose to smell it.
When you smell it, it really smells like blood.
"Is it blood?" Pei Wu asked.
"Yes. But it doesn't seem to be human blood." Tao Qi said, "It looks like some kind of bird or animal." This small pool of blood is not much.
Pei Wu lowered his head to take a closer look, walked to the side, reached out and picked up a rather small bird, with a bloody head.
"That's the bird."
"If it flew over by itself, it shouldn't be able to spurt out so much blood, right?" Tao Qi analyzed subconsciously. He didn't know if it was because he had been following Ming Ruoxie for a long time, so he felt like these birds and beasts. It's relatively friendly. Now that I see such a bird dying so miserably, I actually feel a little sad.
"Woo¡ª¡ª" From behind the door, a voice that sounded like a dog or a wolf came. They looked at each other, ignored the bird, and immediately jumped up with courage.
Before they could stand still, a dog rushed toward the door with great ferocity. The front paws were reborn and pounced on the iron door, making a clanging sound.
Tao Qi, who was standing on top of the door, almost stopped when Pei Wu grabbed his arm and helped him stabilize his body.
"It's clearly a dog, why is it howling like a wolf?"
This is a black domestic dog, but it looks like it is covered with injuries. I don¡¯t know if it was bitten by another animal or scratched somewhere. There are also blood stains on the body, and it looks a little thin.
"I heard before that some people came to Huguo Temple to offer incense, and their domestic dogs also came with them, but they lost them at Huguo Temple, or the owner just forgot about them and didn't take them back. It's very possible that this dog That's how it came about." Pei Wu said.
Tao Qi didn¡¯t know this. He also lived in Dazhen before.
"Ignore it for now and let's go." He jumped over the dog and landed on the front steps. Without hesitation, he quickly ran up the mountain.
Pei Wu took another look at the dog and confirmed that it probably couldn't get through the door, so he also used Qinggong to catch up.
At this time, they all believed in Ming Ruoxie.Yes, if Ming Ruoxie said he was looking for Qingbai in this direction, then they would look all the way in this direction.
It was already so dark on the mountain that it was almost invisible. Except for this road, there were stones and trees on both sides. Looking at the dark shadows, looking back, I saw some candlelight in the temple, which was dim and yellow. A weird color.
Not everyone can feel extremely peaceful and safe in a temple all the time. Just like Pei Wu, when he looked over at this time and saw the Huguo Temple like this, he felt strange in his heart.
The incense burner in front of the Buddha in the first pavilion still has three pillars of incense floating with smoke. These three pillars of incense have almost been burned out, and only a short section is left. The ashes did not fall off after burning, but Leave it bent.
It is said that it smells so good.
Pei Wu smelled the scent and felt a little familiar.
Tao Qi walked over and took a look, then looked back at Pei Wu and lowered his voice. "Did you hear what the monks in the temple said before? No one else came to Huguo Temple except us today."
"Yeah." Pei Wu nodded, understanding what he meant.
The monks in the temple will not come here to burn incense. No other pilgrims came, but there was still unburned incense here. Someone had been on the mountain before, and maybe they hadn't come down yet.
They didn¡¯t speak any more and continued to walk up. There was no need to go too fast now because they still had to pay attention to Qingbai¡¯s whereabouts.
It¡¯s hard to ask why Qingbai is here now.
Although it was definitely Sikong Ji who asked him to leave, Sikong Ji might not let him enter the locked back door at this time.
Tao Qi also felt in her heart that Qingbai must have met some strange person or thing, otherwise as soon as he sensed something was wrong, he would immediately think of returning to the prince.
Qingbai always remembers that his most important identity is that of the prince's shadow guard. He should not leave him too far or for too long.
Unless he has no choice.
Tao Qi and Pei Wu didn't speak anymore. They made gestures. Since the steps were in the middle of the forest, they divided their work tacitly. One of them only looked to the left and looked ahead, and the other looked to the right and looked behind.
It was at this time that a large group of frightened birds suddenly flew up in the forest in front, which naturally startled them. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
