From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, people with their families and families can be seen everywhere.
In Donglin Temple, the monks opened the main halls and let the people of Longcheng go in to rest.
The only county government officials who maintained order in the refuge camp were Diao Xiancheng and several officials, who were busy with more than a dozen people.
When most of the county government forces were mobilized at the foot of the mountain, Ouyang Rong and Yan Liulang were transferred away.
In addition, some officials were rushing to repair the Dickong Gate in the upper reaches of Butterfly Creek.
Seriously short of manpower.
Fortunately, after the previous experience, the people of Longcheng who went up the mountain had considerable trust in the county government.
In other words, if you trust the Magistrate of Luobo County, it will not be difficult for Magistrate Diao and others to manage it.
Despite this, the influx of a large number of people still made Dagushan a mixed bag.
At this moment, somewhere in Donglin Temple, behind the door of a Sutra Copying Hall, Wei Shaoxuan's eyes were turned away from the monks and minor officials who were appeasing the people in the Incense Square in the distance.
The location of the Sutra Copying Hall is relatively secluded, surrounded by only a Manjushri Bodhisattva Hall and a Buddhist pagoda.
However, there were many pilgrims copying scriptures in the past, but in the past two days there were some bad rumors about the scripture copying hall, so the director of Donglin Temple temporarily closed the business of copying scriptures, which was convenient for Wei Shaoxuan and others.
Not long ago, I took advantage of the time that the divine machine on the hilltop of Xiaogushan desperately tried to hold off the great heroine Yunmeng Jianze.
Wei Shaoxuan, Liu Fu and others hurriedly left Longcheng County and rushed to the lively Dagushan Mountain. They used the cover of the chaotic crowd to sneak into Donglin Temple.
At this moment, Boss Li, who had not seen him for a long time, carefully approached behind Wei Shaoxuan and said with dripping eyes:
"Sixth Young Master, don't worry. There are many people here. People from dozens of miles around are gathered on the mountain. No matter how the goddess Yunmeng fights with Mr. Qiu, the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and they will take the initiative to stay away from here.
"Hidden in the city, hiding here, trying to find us is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
Boss Li patted his chest confidently.
Wei Shaoxuan nodded slowly and asked: "What about the adoptive father?"
"Mr. Qiu knows that you want to translate Buddhist scriptures and sword tactics, and you should be able to guess that we are here. Don't worry, Sixth Young Master, there are people watching outside. As long as Mr. Qiu comes over, they can find us."
Wei Shaoxuan frowned, glanced at the sky in the direction of Xiaogushan, and said impatiently:
"Of course I know that my adoptive father is smart. I am worried about the fight between my adoptive father and Xuezhongzhu..."
He gritted his teeth:
"How did Xuezhong Zhu know about the Ding Sword and come to Dragon City? He wanted to die, but he came at this time! Could it be that someone tipped off the news?"
Boss Li was as silent as a cicada.
Wei Shaoxuan's face was uncertain, "It feels very annoying when something like this deviates from the plan."
Boss Li suggested: "My subordinates will send people to investigate. The Sixth Young Master's top priority is to summon the true form of the Dingjian as soon as possible to secure this once-in-a-century blessing."
"I know." Wei Shaoxuan waved his hand and nodded slightly: "However, you go back and check the Liu family. Liu Zilin always feels a little weird. Just now, he lost his way on the road. He said he was going back to the Liu family mansion to do something, like
The excuse is a bit fishy."
"Yes, Sixth Young Master."
Wei Shaoxuan turned his head and glanced at the scripture copying hall at his feet.
Quite familiar.
He couldn't help frowning and looked back at the golden Buddha in the center of the hall.
The Buddha has kind eyebrows and kind eyes.
When the Buddha was standing there, there was an occasional "dong" sound, and the sound echoed in the empty hall, which was quite strange.
Wei Shaoxuan's face moved slightly, he reached into his sleeve and touched a jade ring full of cracks.
He pouted, ignored it, turned around and walked to a wooden table where the incense burner and Buddhist scriptures were originally placed.
At this moment, a Mohist sword box was lying quietly on it.
Wei Shaoxuan reached out and touched the body of the box.
"Is this monk from Donglin Temple reliable?" he asked with lowered eyes.
Not far behind Wei Shaoxuan and Boss Li, I saw Master Shandao sitting on the ground with a sad face, surrounded by eight big men with swords, and the sharp blades were placed on his neck without any blind spots.
In front of Master Shandao, there is a Sanskrit Buddhist scripture. On the ground around him, there are Buddhist scriptures that have been opened and consulted.
The old monk was chanting "Amitabha", but he was sweating profusely. He was immersed in reading Buddhist scriptures and translating Sanskrit word for word.
Boss Li scratched his head and thought: "After all, he is also the abbot of the temple. He can be regarded as an eminent monk. Sixth Young Master, there should be no one more powerful than him in Donglin Temple. It is right to arrest him."
Master Shandao's ears pricked up, he raised his hand to speak, and smiled modestly, saying that there was an eminent monk in the temple who understood Sanskrit and exquisite Buddhist teachings better than he did, and that he could invite him to come out and relieve Mr. Wei's worries.
As a result, of course, they were coldly ignored by Wei Shaoxuan and others.
There were occasional "dong" and "dong" noises in the main hall, and the eerie and eerie atmosphere made the white-browed monk's shoulders tremble from time to time.
Master Shandao looked around hurriedly, with a grimace on his face:
"Mr. Wei, the matter of the marriage lottery last time was definitely an accident. I went out that day and picked up the wrong lottery tube. My evil disciple Xiu Xiu likes to use the old lottery tube and brings the wrong lottery to others. I brought the right lottery today. Why don't I take another lottery?
, absolutely guaranteed.”
The corners of Wei Shaoxuan's eyes twitched fiercely, he stroked the sword box without squinting and snorted coldly.
"Okay, stop playing tricks, you old bald donkey, you've got a lot of cleanliness. After you translate the Buddhist scriptures honestly, the Sixth Young Master will not only send you away with gifts, but also give you a big reward." Boss Li urged.
At this moment, the palace door, which was more than ten feet high, opened with a creaking sound, and Liu Fu's figure appeared at the door, squeezing his rickety body into the main hall through the crack in the door.
"Sixth Young Master!"
"How's it going outside?"
"I haven't noticed anyone from Yunmeng Jianze coming after me for the time being."
"Well. Liu Fu, you have worked hard in the Liu family these years. When I go back, I will ask you for credit in front of my father."
Wei Shaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Fu's next words made him raise his eyebrows.
"Thank you, Young Master. This is what I should do. I will bear in mind King Wei's kindness. However, Sixth Young Master, when I just came back, I also found traces of an interesting family. You should be interested in this."
"Which family?" Wei Shaoxuan asked curiously.
The main hall was pushed open a little further, and Liu Fuji pointed to the Manjushri Bodhisattva Hall next door and said:
"The Su family from Luming Street took refuge next door."
Wei Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows.
"Just their family?"
"It's just their family, four members of the family are here, only a few maids and servants are accompanying them, hiding in secret."
"Where is the Xie girl?"
"No trace." After a pause, the lame steward straightened his back and said with a calm expression, "Even if I were here, I can't hurt the young master."
"Is this so..." Wei Shaoxuan looked over there with interest, turned his head and said to Boss Li:
"Didn't you come back and say that Li Xian's family was rescued by Xie's daughter? Why did they come here?"
"My subordinates don't know either. Maybe they are also seeking refuge... The people of Dragon City are running to the mountains. The Su Mansion is a wealthy family that donates money, so it is normal for them to be given a grand hall."
After Boss Li finished speaking, he recalled with a sad face:
"My subordinates listened to the instructions of the Sixth Young Master and sent people to pretend to be bandits and took control of the Su Mansion. I wanted to wait for the Sixth Young Master to come back and 'hero save the beauty', but I didn't expect that Xie's daughter to arrive so quickly... Fortunately, my subordinates
Run fast or you'll be caught and exposed."
Wei Shaoxuan lowered his eyes, nodded, did not answer, thought for a while, and muttered:
"We can all be neighbors. Miss Li, it seems that we are really destined. This old monk's two broken fortunes are indeed nonsense."
"It's okay." Wei Shaoxuan suddenly patted Boss Li on the shoulder and encouraged: "Since the secret has not been exposed, you have done a good job, but you still have to trouble Boss Li again."
The Persian businessman was stunned when he heard this. A cautious look appeared in his cat-like green eyes, and he bowed his waist and asked, "This is all a matter within the scope of my subordinates. Just tell me, Mr. Six."
Wei Shaoxuan put his arm on Boss Li's shoulder, pointed to the Manjushri Bodhisattva Hall next door, and narrowed his eyes:
"Go there again."
"..."
…
Wearing a red dress, she quickly passed through the empty streets in Longcheng County and jumped onto the rooftops.
Rush towards Luming Street.
The beautiful shadow is like a startled giant.
The dress is hurriedly hemmed.
I just stumble occasionally and look around anxiously.
However, the county town is now empty, and no one can see this sad figure.
At a certain moment, on an exterior wall facing the street of Meiluyuan.
The girl in red dress suddenly stopped, panting and looking around.
In her hand she clutched a white sandalwood target knife that she had just acquired.
"Elder brother..."
The originally beautiful eyes had red circles, and the pale lips murmured:
"Where on earth did you take Liu Zilin and the others... Why are you so stupid..."
The cold wind blew the red dress on the wall swaying from side to side, as if it might fall down at any time.
Xie Lingjiang looked around blankly.
The green smoke and beacon fire in the mountains upstream in the distance, and the aftermath of the battle on Xiaogushan on the other side of Butterfly Creek behind her were all temporarily forgotten by her.
Xie Lingjiang knew that if the senior brother were around at this moment, he would definitely knock chestnuts to tell her to calm down and not to act rashly or get angry.
But after making arrangements for Uncle Li's family and trying her best to fulfill her responsibilities, she didn't want to stay for a moment longer and ran down Dagushan without stopping to go to Guyue Sword Shop to look for him.
As a result, he was full of joy and ran over expecting help. However, he lowered his head and received a cold skirt knife and a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue from Yan Liulang.
Ouyang Rong took Liu Zilin away.
She felt dizzy just listening to what happened at Guyue Sword Shop and Xiaogushan not long ago, let alone the bad news involving her senior brother in the end.
After hastily giving a rejuvenation pill to Ah Qing who fainted from blood loss, Xie Lingjiang left the sword shop without stopping to look for Ouyang Rong's whereabouts.
But before that, Ouyang Rong and Liu Zilin left on a fast boat. Ouyang Rong even gave an order not to follow Yan Liulang and others, and did not explain specifically where they were going.
At the moment, no one knows where Ouyang Rong took Liu Zilin.
"What's a 'pretend'? Where does Senior Brother have any pretense? I don't know him yet. Before today, Senior Brother didn't know anything about the Cauldron Sword. This is not a temporary fabrication just to save Ah Qing."
, what is it that deceives Liu Zilin...
"I heard what the surviving craftsmen said about what happened at that time. Ah Shan obviously stood up on his own. He died for Dragon City, not for you. Why should you blame yourself so much and take all the responsibilities on yourself?"
She bit her lower lip tightly, her face full of love and cherishment:
"Elder brother, eldest brother, where did you take Liu Zilin..."
The red clothes were isolated on the wall, and the cold wind carried away the anxious whispers of the girl with a sour nose.
At this moment, a slight knock on the door suddenly came from the front. Xie Lingjiang was stunned and looked up.
I saw a girl in a courtyard in Meilu Garden not far away, pushing the door open and walking out of the house.
This strange girl has eyes like a stream and eyebrows as delicate as the mountains and rivers of Wuyue, but she carries a long sword on her back. The long sword is quite inconsistent with her small and delicate body.
She wore a long Wu dress, plain white and simple, with her hair pulled up and an ancient wooden hairpin inserted into it.
At this moment, Miss Wu Qun lowered her head and walked out of the house.
I don't know whether it was because Xie Lingjiang was too sad or for some other reason, but her sharp five senses didn't notice anyone around her.
If I hadn't happened to catch this girl in a Wu skirt with my peripheral vision, I would have almost turned around and ignored her.
Every move of this woman seems to have no trace, giving people a quiet and transparent feeling.
Although her appearance is delicate and beautiful, it is extremely easy to ignore her, even in the eyes of Qi practitioners.
Quiet as a virgin.
Xie Lingjiang's pupils narrowed.
In the small courtyard of Meilin, Miss Wu Qun frowned slightly, her eyes were red, she lowered her head, and walked out of the house. She seemed to be in a very low mood. She even almost reached the entrance of the courtyard, but she didn't notice the red dress standing quietly on the wall not far away.
girl.
It wasn't until Xie Lingjiang's eyes looked at her so clearly that she suddenly raised her head.
In the air, two eyes collided.
One woman is standing on the wall, and the other is standing in the courtyard.
Looking at each other from a distance.
The air in Meilu Garden fell into silence for a moment.
The two women who are looking for the same person today seem to be the same, but they also seem to be different.
The same thing is that they all have red eye circles, tired faces, and anxious or lost eyes.
The difference is that the two women have their own unique looks.
One woman is dressed in red, noble and elegant, and the other is dressed in plain clothes, looking beautiful.
As a result, Xie Lingjiang's radiant appearance made her look stubborn and stubborn, unlike all other ladies.
And the beauty of the girl in Wu skirt looks weak and pitiful, Xiaojiabiyu.
The two women looked at each other in silence for a while.
"Who is the girl? Why did you enter the yard of my senior brother's house? What are you looking for?"
Xie Ling Jiang Meier frowned and asked.
The girl in Wu's skirt, who was carrying a sword, seemed not surprised by Xie Lingjiang's appearance, and her eyes were attracted to the skirt knife in her hand.
Xie Ling Jiang Su clenched the skirt knife that he had given to his senior brother, tilted his head and asked, "Do you know it? Do you know my senior brother?"
The girl in Wu skirt didn't reply.
The mute girl's peripheral vision was always peeping in the direction of Xiaogushan on the other side. There was a look of worry and fear on her face that was difficult to dispel.
Xie Lingjiang suddenly saw that the woman's right hand hanging down from her long sleeve was missing a little finger.
At this time, the mute girl with broken fingers suddenly raised her head.
Xie Lingjiang also looked up.
I saw a small white dot appearing in the sky, and its trajectory moved slowly, as if a snow-white bird was flying towards it, getting closer and closer to the two women's heads.
Xie Lingjiang quickly lowered his head and saw that the girl in the Wu skirt had disappeared without a trace in the courtyard ahead.
He walked away silently.
However, she seemed to be trying her best to avoid something.
Xie Ling Jiang frowned and looked around: "This kind of ancient dress and skirt... carrying a sword and breaking off the little finger... seems a bit familiar."
At this moment, Xie Lingjiang suddenly sensed that the jade piece that was filled with Li Guo'er's spiritual energy that he left for her before going down the mountain was broken.
"Did Sister Li find the senior brother? The senior brother is at Donglin Temple? Or is he in danger?"
Xie Lingjiang left this weird girl behind.
In a hurry, he returned to Dagushan, rushed into Donglin Temple, and went straight to the Hall of Manjusri Bodhisattva.
In front of the main hall, Xie Lingjiang, who was returning in a hurry, slowly stopped.
In addition to Li Xian's family, there were many other figures inside the main hall door. The leader was a smiling young master.
The atmosphere in the palace was not tense, but they were getting along... quite happily.
Xie Lingjiang turned his head and looked towards the crowd behind Uncle Li.
Li Bao'er lifted a corner of the gauze on her cheek with her fingertips and looked sideways with her starry eyes.
