[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

The structures of most Buddhist temples are actually similar. Although Shen Xi doesn't believe in foreign religions, she has been to many temples when she has nothing to do. She has a good idea of ​​the general layout of the buildings.

According to the induction of Gu insects, Chu Qi's current position should be on the extension line from Shen Xi's place to Luohan Hall. After estimating the distance, it is probably the square in front of the main hall.The gossip that Shen Xi heard during the day also mentioned that the fire started from the main hall square.

So I squatted all day in an empty temple where no ghost could see a single one... Waiting for a rabbit?

Shen Xi pouted, she felt that she seemed to have overestimated Chu Qi's IQ in the past.

This year is the first year after the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhaocheng Temple originally planned to perform religious rituals for twelve hours starting at noon. Monks should chant scriptures in the square of the main hall until dawn on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

She moved her lips slightly, and uttered a weak syllable that only insects could understand. Immediately, a cloud of snow-like fluorescent light appeared in the small hands that spread upwards, reflecting a translucent feeling on the white palms and fingers.There are people from the government outside, and rashly using candles may attract people in, but they have nothing to do to imitate the fireflies cultivated by the hands of glory, and they come in handy at this time.

According to the general ritual process, when the fire broke out, the main hall square was burning incense and chanting sutras. In other words, when the fire broke out, there should be many people present.

However, in a gossip heard by Shen Xi during the day, one mentioned that the monks who escaped from Zhaocheng Temple, except for those who were not present, were a little mentally disturbed, and their memory seemed to have faults, and they did not know when the fire broke out. What is the situation.

After all, no one died, right?Although he felt a little self-deceiving, Shen Xi still felt that if there was nothing that would endanger his life, the psychological pressure would be relatively small.

I thought so, but the pace towards the main hall square did not stop at all.

The ornate censer burning with spices has been extinguished for a long time, and there are still some futons used for sitting meditation when chanting sutras scattered around. The stone floor looks clean and there is no dust.

What makes Shen Xi feel uneasy is that she can be sure that Chu Qi is nearby, but there is no one else here except her.

Although she couldn't learn spells, Shen Xi herself did possess spiritual power. If it was a demon or a ghost as she guessed before, then she should be able to detect it.

If it's a human being doing things, no matter how brilliant the martial arts is, it's impossible not to leave some traces, not to mention that the strange fire is not something that ordinary people can do at all.Spells and illusions can be done, but that will leave traces...

It's a bit tricky...

Shen Xi raised his hand to play the flute, and summoned a giant snake with a head covered in dark blue feathers.Anyway, there will be no other people, and a wave of violent demolition will directly overwhelm them, and all ghosts and snakes will show their appearance obediently.

As for site repair fees and the like, Second Miss Shen, whose public morality has always been on the same level as integrity, said that as long as no one knows who she is, it will be fine.Anyway, it will be the prosperous Kaiyuan soon, Concubine Yang, her former father-in-law and now that her husband has plenty of money, are they afraid they can't afford to build a small ruined temple?

After completing the psychological construction, Shen Xi commanded the Feathered Snake to overturn the stone floor of the square with peace of mind, and then began to plow the ground to destroy it. In fact, she wanted to take off the roof of the Daxiong Palace, but after thinking about it, she seemed to have little respect for the Buddha...

In such a short time of desertion, the square has been completely refurbished by the Feathered Snake. He personally followed the owner's order and fully explained what a Feathered Snake digs three feet into the ground. on the incense burner.When the Feathered Snake was doing damage, it was unknown whether it was intentional or not, and it bypassed the place where the incense burner was.

The intuition of animals is more sensitive than that of humans, and this has been proven long ago. Even if the troublesome thing here is hidden deeply, it can't be hidden from Shen Xi, but it can't be hidden from the Feathered Snake, which doesn't use eyes to see at all.

"Is there... a problem with that place?" Shen Xi touched the feathers on the feathered snake's neck. There were three extremely long feathers growing on the back of the big snake's neck. The fluffy feathers dragged all the way to the ground, and they felt quite good. "Is it underground or That incense burner?"

The Feathered Snake tilted its head slightly, as if trying to understand Shen Xi's words, then raised its thorny tail and pointed at the incense burner.It's not stupid, but after all, it can't communicate in human language. It can only point out the places where it feels discordant and doesn't want to get close.

"A censer?..."

Shen Xi took out the deer skin gloves and put them on. With her right hand, she grabbed the thickest thorn on the feathered snake's tail. Although she was not afraid of the feathered snake's poison, the tail thorn was very sharp, and she didn't want to cut her hands.

"I'll go and have a look, and if there's something wrong, bring me back immediately."

The Feathered Snake nodded seriously, and then let Shen Xi hold her own tail, step by step approaching the incense burner that made her feel bad.

Shen Xi didn't pay much attention to that incense burner before, but now that she took a closer look, she found something wrong: it was too gorgeous.

The style of Zhaocheng Temple tends to be solemn and vigorous, and the decoration is mainly simple and practical. However, the three-foot-high incense burner on the square is carved with flowers and plants, birds, heavens, jiyue, kylin, phoenix, and white cranes. Pearls, agates, corals, gems, chariots, and Wanyan, with four gates and four small bridges, are extravagant and out of tune with everything around them.

It turns out that being a monk is so rich now... Shen Xi never admits that she is actually jealous and hating the rich. She suddenly understands the necessity of the three martial arts to destroy Buddha - although the third of the three martial arts will take more than 100 years will be born later.

All kinds of messy thoughts flashed in an instant, and the hand holding the firefly had already touched the incense burner.

Suddenly a bright light appeared in front of her eyes, Shen Xi couldn't help but raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, it seemed that something had happened to her height, which caused her vision to no longer be what it always was, it was as if...increased instantly?

Although it is not clear what happened, but for Wannian Lolita, growing taller is undoubtedly a matter of great joy.

After the surprise, Shen Xi regained her composure, and only then did she have the time to look at the suddenly changed environment.The place where I am now is not a cold and dark Buddhist temple in the winter night, but a luxurious palace with a decoration style very similar to that of the incense burner. The complexity, brick by tile, cup by cup, even the details reveal a kind of grandeur and luxury of the prosperous age.

It is a bit exaggerated to say it is a palace, but to say it is a private mansion... Even someone like Shen Xi who has only seen the palace on TV can see a lot of oversteps. place?

In front of Shen Xi was a very brightly polished bronze mirror, and she was sitting in front of the mirror, carefully depicting a pair of crescent eyebrows shaped like jade hooks.

The light gauze, as thin as a cicada's wings, is as gorgeous as a cloud, as if it has no weight. The woman in palace makeup wrapped in it is slender and plump, beautiful and glamorous. Yun's high bun, although his expression was condescending, could not detract from his celestial appearance.Such a posture is by no means an immature girl under the age of ten.

Even though she knew the situation was too weird, Shen Xi couldn't help but glance at her plump breasts—the career line is really spectacular.

She felt that if she could have such a face when she grew up, it would be worth it in this life.

Although she is looking forward to this in her heart, Shen Xi is also very clear that the problem of her inability to grow up cannot be solved in a short period of time... The woman in the mirror who draws her eyebrows like a lady's picture is definitely related to the Zhaocheng Temple incident .

She subconsciously lowered her head, and she saw a pair of white and beautiful hands, her nails were dyed with light pink impatiens juice, very bright, it looked like she had raised her fingers without touching the spring water.

At this time, apart from Shen Xi's wonderful physique, only people with high status or extremely rich can develop such hands. Combined with this woman's makeup, her status and class are easy to guess.

Shen Xi can conclude that her perspective now belongs to the owner of these hands, that is, the palace makeup beauty who is drawing eyebrows in the mirror.

When there is no active control, the body will act according to a certain set pattern. It seems that I am not possessed by this person, but I am possessed by this person?Or……

Shen Xi recalled the moment of touching the incense burner, the momentary dizziness that was almost negligible.

Is it a Portkey or a Pensieve? ...Her thoughts instantly jumped to HP.

The clothes on his body were extremely light and breathable, and there was an ice basin in the corner of the room. Although it was night, the air felt warm and humid, which was obviously summer.But Shen Xi would never ignore the fact that he visited the Shangyuan Lantern Festival just the day before yesterday.

From this point of view, it should be an illusion that I let myself experience as a certain noble woman.

Just as he was thinking, there was the sound of neat and steady footsteps outside, and occasionally the sound of golden armor rubbing against each other.

Following the sound of breaking wood, Shen Xi turned around to look at the door in astonishment, only to see flames flickering all over her eyes, countless stubborn soldiers stood outside the door, the leader general held a horizontal knife, expressionless , has not yet retracted the action of chopping the vermilion gate.
