Huai'an Temple

Xie Jun propped up the umbrella again and pointed to the book hall.Fan Hui and Xue Zhu followed him around.

Shen Tuan had already explained the whole chapter of Guanju, and sat in front of the study hall, watching the children shaking their heads and chanting over and over again.Xue Zhu looked at Shen Tuan from outside the door, with a gentle face and a smile on his brows, as if he was born to be liked by children.Recalling that he learned poetry, calligraphy and scriptures from him when he was a child, he was also so patient.Every word, every word.

Seeing them turn around, Shen Tuan walked out of the study hall and asked in a low voice, "What's going on. These children seem to be quite scared."

Xie Jun didn't dare to go far, he just asked Shen Tuan to sit on the half-person-high boulder in front of the door of the book hall, and the book hall was in front of them.

Xue Zhu took out a small bell and handed it to Shen Tuan, saying: "Quan Gua's Spiritual Exploration Formation is a big deal." He briefly explained the previous situation to Shen Tuan.Shen Tuan hung up the Dharma bell and asked, "What happened next?"

Xie Jun sighed softly and said a few words silently.Fan Hui translated: "Later, the master died."

Xie Jun looked helpless and said a few more words.Fan Hui translated: "The old man Gu is dead too... Ah! Don't..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Jun raised his front skirt, raised his leg, and kicked him off the boulder where they were sitting together!

Shen Xue and the two of them tacitly turned a blind eye, Fan Hui crawled back with a disheveled face, sat cross-legged beside him, and honestly helped Xie Jun speak.Not only is he articulate, word for word is perfect, even his expression and tone of voice are vivid.

Xie Jun thought about it, and slowly "said": "When I arrived, Gu Shanchang was already unable to turn around. I only asked me two things, one is not to die, and the other is not to stop the book. I agreed, protect These children, I can barely do it. But in the school... I can't make it."

Shen Tuan asked: "These gentlemen are all dead? It seems that there are many fewer children."

Xie Jun showed sympathy and frowned, and replied: "At first there were more than [-] children. Mr. Gu gathered all the students together, and Mr. divided them into groups. They stayed around around [-] o'clock to take care of the children. When the evil spirit approached, Mr. Rush to the rescue. But there are only two kinds of endings, one is that you can’t stop it, and share the difficulties with the students; "

Shen Tuan and Xue Zhu looked at each other, silent.

Xie Jun said again: "All gentlemen, without exception, all died generously. Those who preach and receive karma to solve doubts are also given orders."

The four of them were silent for a while, and children came out of the study one after another, huddled in a small group at the door.Xie Jun waved to them, and a dozen children surrounded him. He stretched out his hand, hugged Cao'er to the boulder, and touched the heads of the children around him, with pity on his face and gentle movements.

Cao'er tugged at Shen Tuan's sleeve, and said: "Mr. Daochang, you and this elder brother are also here to help Mr. Xie, right? Brother Fan the day before yesterday was very fierce, but I know that he is also here to protect us of."

Gu Shuo looked like a Taoist, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you gentlemen for your mercy. If it weren't for the few of us, we might all have died ten days ago."

Xie Jun put his hands in front of him, compared them a few times, and pointed to a few people around him.Hold your left fist and hit your right palm.

Cao'er understood it first, and said to the children: "Mr. Xie said that the few who came here are very powerful, and they will definitely protect us and catch this evil spirit! Let us not be afraid."

Xie Jun looked at Cao'er, forced a smile, moved his lips, and Fan Hui sighed, "Cao'er, my brother said, we have no choice but to offend you, so please don't worry about it."

Cao'er's immature face showed a disproportionately mature wry smile, and said: "I should thank sir, thank you all classmates, otherwise..." As he spoke, the circles of his eyes turned red, and tears rolled down his face.

Shen Tuan couldn't bear it, and stroked Cao'er's shoulder.Xie Jun took out a pure white brocade handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Cao'er.Two hands and four fingers want to touch, shake up and down.It's an apology.Cao'er quickly wiped away her tears, shook her head and said, "Mr. Xie, how can I blame you! Once it comes, it can't make a sound! Otherwise, you can definitely save them."

Fan Hui said: "Originally, when my brother first arrived, there were five little girls, all of whom were from the female medical department. My brother put them in the inner room, and took the rest of the boys to sleep outside... But I didn't expect that the bastard, He came and went without a trace, without a trace of breath. Cao'er was bold and careful, and crushed the medicine bag on his body without saying a word. When his brother smelled the medicine and rushed into the inner room... that thing had been eaten by a dog for three days. This girl, judging from her appearance, she was about to kill the fourth person, but she was startled by her elder brother, so she rushed over to her."

Xie Jun closed his eyes and shook his head, his lips opened and closed slowly, everyone saw clearly, what he said was: Can't see, can't hear, can't touch!

Xue Zhu asked: "Young Master Xie, how does it feel to rush forward? How about Yin and Yang?"

Xie Jun recalled for a while, and "said": "I don't think there is anything wrong with the yin and yang qi, and there is no murderous aura. It is really difficult to judge whether it is a ghost or a demon."

Xue Zhu murmured: "If you come at night, I'll go and meet. I want to see what it is."

Xie Yun twirled a little fingertip, and stuck it to his heart.Be careful.Fan Hui said loudly: "Brother, you are too worried. You can see how he will be rushed with his yang energy. He has synaesthesia, so he may discover more things."

Shen Tuan also said: "Young Master Xie, don't worry, Yu Li defends the talisman array by himself, the universe is in his hands, and he can protect himself. If there is a fight, we may need him to change the formation to help."

The four talked for a while, and it was past noon.After a few light knocks on the door, Gu Shuo raised his voice and answered, "Please come in."

Xie Jun picked up the grass and jumped off the rock.Fan Hui greeted: "Let's go, eat! If anyone is slow, I will eat first!"

A group of children huffed and gathered in front of Xie Jun, almost dragging him back.

Xue Zhu had seen Fan Hui eat before, so he knew that this threat was really deterrent.

Perhaps the most important thing Xie Jun lacked was money. Since he arrived, he invited the small hall official from Jianghuai Songhe Tower to come, and arranged to deliver it twice a day for a table of three and ten people.The small hall official knew that it was a big deal, so he also gave away the porridge and breakfast every morning, as well as boiling water for tea balls, everything was available.It's just that when it gets dark, I dare not approach.

As soon as Fan Hui came...an extra table was added.

When the food was ready, Xie Jun gave up the chopsticks.The children sat at two tables and waited for the other three to act before they began to eat in a proper manner.

Xie Jun asked Shen Tuan to sit in the guest seat, and Xue Zhu and himself sat on the two sides, Xue Zhu was flanked by Miss Cao'er, and Fan Hui was on the opposite side.More than [-] people eat without talking or sleeping.Only Fan Hui asked Xue Zhu while eating, would you do this?what about this?This Jianghuai cuisine has another flavor, which is different from yours!

In front of so many people, it was really difficult for Xue Zhu to argue with him, but it would be inappropriate to ignore him, so he had to wait until the meal was finished, and then pause to answer a few words, yes, no, next time Do etc.

Xie Jun had never had any patience with Fan Hui, and was annoyed by what he said, so he snatched his chopsticks, threw them on an empty seat far away, and stuck them firmly on a plate of squirrel mandarin fish, sinking most of them.

Fan Hui bowed to Shen Tuan in embarrassment, changed his pair of chopsticks in desperation, and sat on the empty seat.The children couldn't help but sneered for a while, watching Fan Hui eat as if watching a juggling.

I don't see how he devoured it, but it was quite normal, with a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, and he kept picking up vegetables for a while.At the beginning, I didn't notice any difference, but gradually I realized that Fan Hui's belly was a bottomless pit, most of the seats were exhausted, but he still didn't stop for a moment.

Everyone stared at him with different faces, both startled and fearful.Only Xie Yun had affectionate eyebrows and a gentle face, and he only glanced at him.Fan Hui seemed to have eyes behind her back, and smiled back, as if she had traveled thousands of years.

In the evening, Xie Jun took everyone back to the dormitory.The inner room is exquisite, with two beds and two couches.The outer room is spacious, with shops on both sides, and it is not crowded for two or 30 people living together.

Xie Jun had been guarding him for many days, Shen and Xue let him into the inner room to rest, and Fan Hui followed.

Xue Zhu painted requiem talismans on both bunks, and sat on the threshold by himself.Cao'er was sleeping on the small couch by the window, Nan Ming was at the end of the couch, and Shen Tuan was sitting beside her.

Not long after, I heard two inaudible gasps from the inner room.All the children were asleep, Shen Tuan frowned and glanced at Xue Zhu.Seeing that he didn't notice, he didn't show any emotion.

Before the cup of tea arrived, there were two more thumps, like fists hitting the chest.This time, Xue Zhu also noticed, looked around the inner room with a puzzled face, suddenly startled, blinked, his ears were hot and his face was red.

After a long while, I heard the slight collision of gold and stone, followed by a slightly crisp thump, accompanied by a muffled groan.Then everything was silent.

Xue Zhu's throat rolled, and he peeked at Shen Tuan.Seeing him looking at Cao'er and the students calmly.Thinking that Shen Tuan might not have noticed, he felt even more ashamed, why he always thought of some ridiculous things.

From the moon to mid-heaven, Xue Zhu's consciousness was outside, and he sat cross-legged at the door.Shen Tuan was still sitting by the couch, with no expression on his face, and his breath was so long that it was almost inaudible.

Suddenly, the bells around the waists of the two rang together, Shen Tuan stretched out his hand to caress, and made a move with his sword, Nan Ming struck silently.Xue Zhu suddenly opened his eyes, held the bell with his right hand, took two steps forward, held the Wuxie Talisman with his left hand, and waved at a child named He Lian.The child woke up suddenly, his face was terrified, but he couldn't make a sound.Shen Tuan lightly tapped his toes, rushed up to the bunk, and Nan Ming stabbed straight.

Suddenly, Xue Zhu's hair on the sideburns and his clothes flew away, his eyes widened, his face was pale, and he fell to the ground.

A dagger in the inner room rushed out of the door with the momentum of wind and thunder.Holding a sword in his right hand, Fan Hui was naked and chased after him.

Xie Jun's clothes were in disarray, his face was bright, he hurriedly turned out from the inner room, seeing that no one was injured, he took two steps to check Xue Zhu.Shaking his sleeves, he hurriedly pressed Xue Zhu's pulse, felt relieved for a while, and took a long breath.

Knowing Xue Zhu's physique, Shen Tuan would never be rushed by Xie Chong, but he was not as anxious as Xie Jun.With one arm around He Lian, the other holds a sword.Seeing that Xue Zhu was fine, he was relieved.With a glance, I saw two purple-red strangle marks on Xie Jun's white wrist, which were not coherent, not like hemp rope and soft belt, but rather...copper rings and iron ropes, overlapping and printed.

Xue Zhu was stunned for a while, his head was covered with cold sweat, his lips trembled, and tears poured down his face.There was a stabbing pain in the heart, and the whole body was limp and weak. If it wasn't for Xie Jun's support, he couldn't even sit up.

Shen Tuan said softly: "Keep calm and turn around slowly. I'm watching you."

Trembling, Xue Zhu took out Zhang Zheng's amulet from his bosom, and stuck it to his chest.Sitting cross-legged in meditation, all minds and minds turn inwardly, gradually becoming ignorant and unconscious, without sadness or joy.

Not long after, Fan Hui returned with his sword in hand, shaking his head to show that he found nothing.But there was a bruise on his chest, and the corner of his left eye was purple.

Xie Jun got up again to check on He Lian, Shen Tuan comforted the awakened children one by one, and then placed a requiem talisman.

Xue Zhu seemed to be in meditation, so Shen Tuan asked Fan Hui and Xie Jun to rest first, and guarded him by himself.This sitting is worth sitting until dawn, Xue Zhu completed his cycle, opened his eyes, and saw Shen Tuan sitting on the ground beside him, Nan Ming pressed his knees, and he was looking at himself, his thin lips were soft, and his eyes were like two streams of autumn water .

Xue Zhu put his hands on his knees, leaned forward, kissed Shen Tuan's eyes lightly, and whispered: "It's all right."

Shen Tuan nodded, handed Nan Ming to him, and closed his eyes.

In the middle of the day, Xie Junyue turned out of the inner room in a deep white coat, a white gauze outer cloak, and small crown bow shoes.Together with him, all the students got up one after another.Wash and eat, consciously go to the school to review.

When the time came, Shen Tuan walked in slowly with a light robe and a scroll in his hand.His voice was a little low and hoarse, and he said softly: "I guess, someone must have failed to recite Guanju yesterday, today, I'm going to check!" As he said, he tapped the ruler on the case with his fingers.

All the children were apprehensive and flipped through the books one after another.

Xue Zhu and Xie Jun sat on the boulder yesterday, staring at Shen Tuan with good eyes, seeing him talking and smiling lightly, seeing him nodding in admiration, seeing his brows and eyes slightly wrinkled, holding a ruler to scare the students, but only lightly touching the students in the palm of his hand. I posted it.Thinking of the scene when I was young, my heart is peaceful.
