For whom do you linger [The Loyal Dog Guard Shou]

Late at night, Baifu.

The figure in the dark rises and falls lightly, cleverly avoiding the night guards.The moonlight was like water, under the shadow of mottled trees, the man stopped for a long time without moving.

Luo Zheng left Bai Yunmiao's study and found He Lianqing's residence without much effort.He should go back to the inn as soon as possible, he is still being punished, and the owner doesn't want to see him yet.

But he stood outside the courtyard, unwilling to move even a single step. After hearing what Luo Zhizhang said, after knowing Bai Yunmiao's plot...

Luo Zheng thought...he wanted to beg that person...

Even if he returns to his job as a secret guard, if the owner doesn't want to see him, he can always hide in the dark, as long as he can stay by his side and block those dangerous and dirty turbulent undercurrents one by one. That's fine.

That's it.

Luo Zheng hid in the shadow of the tree, leaned against the tree trunk behind him, took a deep breath, he could almost hear the increasingly rapid heartbeat in his chest, like a drum beating.

Suddenly, a palm wind hit his face, Luo Zheng dodged sideways, raised his hand to grab the opponent's wrist, and frowned.

"Brother Luo," Lu Huiyao raised his elbow and pressed Luo Zheng's chest tightly, and said in a low voice, "Zhao Ting has discovered you a long time ago, why are you so careless!"

Luo Zheng was speechless, there were only two people guarding here tonight, the one closest to him was Lu Huiyao, he had already expected that he would be discovered, but he didn't expect that those two would observe him in the dark for so long.

"I'm here to find the owner." Almost just moving his lips, Luo Zheng pulled away Lu Huiyao's arm and took a step forward.

Lu Huiyao raised his hand to push Luo Zheng away, shook his head solemnly, and said, "The owner hasn't rested yet."

"You..." Lu Huiyao paused for a moment, then said with a little hesitation, "Now is not a good time, and when the landlord's anger subsides, he will naturally call you back."

"..." Luo Zheng looked at the serious person, wanting to ask something, but in the end he just lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.This feeling of emptiness is so uncommon that he doesn't know how to overcome it, he doesn't even know when it happened or why it happened.

Luo Zheng's brows loosened a little, and he took another look at the candlelit room before turning and leaving.

Lu Huiyao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Why...? Sigh... why bother..."

Luo Zheng returned to the inn and lay quietly on the bed. Helian Qing's figure, his smile, his tenderness, his touch, his words, and his anger and impatience kept flashing in his mind. , and... estrangement...

the old ones...

...It seems that I made a mistake, maybe if I correct my mentality, I won't have such bewildering emotions now.

He sighed, closed his eyes fiercely, and fell asleep in a daze until the light of day dawned, but he was awakened by the nightmare again not long after.

Luo Zheng sat on the bed, panting heavily, cold sweat slipping down his forehead into his eyes, he blinked vigorously, the face of the man in the dream was pale, and the appearance of blood still lingering.

"The owner..."

Luo Zheng read aloud in a low voice, the throbbing pain in his heart made his eyes go black, he clutched his chest, got up and got off the ground, but stood there for a long time in a state of panic...

Until there was a knock on the door, Luo Zhizhang smiled and called him outside the door.

"Xiao Luo!" Luo Zhizhang pushed the door in without waiting for anyone to answer, and put the medicine bowl in his hand on the table, "Why did you get up so early today?"

He glanced at the well-dressed people, pretending not to notice: "Today is the day when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva became enlightened. There is a temple fair on Jingling Mountain. After breakfast, Xiao Luo will go with us."

"I..." Just as he was about to refuse, Luo Zheng suddenly remembered the nightmare he had before, so he agreed again, "Okay."

Luo Zhizhang raised his eyebrows slightly unexpectedly, then smiled and said: "I thought it would take a lot of talking, so it's very good! Very good!"

Luo Zheng looked at the man with a happy face, and just nodded.

Luo Zhizhang laughed a few more times, looked at the person who was drinking the medicine from the medicine bowl, and said happily: "Staying in this inn all day is too boring, and today I go to the temple fair, Xiao Luo can also go to the temple I'm asking for the owner's safety or something."

"Cough——" Luo Zheng's breathing was stagnant, and the heat on his cheeks rose uncontrollably. A sense of embarrassment about being talked about made him stiffen unnaturally.

Luo Zhizhang accepted it when he saw it was ready, took the medicine bowl and said goodbye when he said goodbye, and left with a smile all over his face.

Luo Zheng sighed, and sat down slowly at the table, the bitterness in his mouth after drinking the medicine seeped into his heart bit by bit...

It was supposed to protect the safety of that person personally, but now it is entrusted to the Bodhisattva.

Ugh.

"Temple fair?" In the garden of the White Mansion, Helian leaned on Lu Rouxi and asked with a smile, "Mother wants to go?"

"Well," Lu Rouxi raised her hand to caress He Lianqing's cheek, and replied, "Bodhisattva bless our mother and child reunion, today I want to ask Bodhisattva to keep you safe."

"..." A cold light flashed in Helian's eyes, and then he looked into Lu Rouxi's eyes without emotion, and thanked with the corner of his mouth bent, "Mother is interested, and the anniversary of my father's death is coming soon. Monk, please recite the rebirth mantra for father a few more times."

Lu Rouxi's face froze, showing a bit of fear: "...OK."

"Mother?" Helian Qing sneered and called softly.

"Ah?" Lu Rouxi lightly supported Fu Helian's arm, her face turned pale, "Let's... go to the Bodhisattva and bless your father to rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

"Ah."

As the martial arts conference is about to be held, the number of people gathered in Lingzhou from all over the rivers and lakes will be several times higher than in the past. Therefore, the Jingling Mountain Temple Fair is really unimaginably crowded.

Luo Zheng followed Luo Zhizhang and Wei Wu, and walked with difficulty from the bottom of the mountain, "moving" towards the Guanyin Temple on the top of the mountain, shoulder to shoulder.

However, Luo Zhizhang didn't care how crowded the crowd was, and even stopped from time to time, watching those parading teams with heavy makeup and painted faces with great interest.Wei Wu naturally followed him around, Luo Zheng didn't want to linger in the crowd, so he went up the mountain by himself first.

But helplessly, there were many obstacles from the crowd, and there was no shadow of the temple until almost noon.Luo Zheng couldn't bear to abandon the main road, he was relieved until he left the noisy and crowded crowd, and then started to shuttle through the mountains and forests with light kung fu.

In this way, without wasting any more time, Luo Zheng soon arrived at the Guanyin Temple.

Cigarettes filled the temple, and there were many people coming and going, all of whom had wishes and expectations.Luo Zheng entered the temple gate and stood there in a daze for a while, waiting for...the quiet place of Buddhism, he had never been here before...

Following those devout men and women, Luo Zheng followed every step of the way, took money, added incense, and bowed down to the Bodhisattva who brings people peace, thinking of a name in his heart.

The person who worshiped Buddha and made a wish was too focused, so he didn't notice the sight that he had never turned away since he entered the temple gate, and the one he wanted to guard day and night-Helian Qing.

After Lu Rouxi finished worshiping the Bodhisattva and went to see the monk who was preaching, He Lianqing waited outside.

When he saw Luo Zheng among the crowd going in and out of the temple, he didn't know what mood he was in for a moment.

He frowned, a little surprised and puzzled.

Luo Zheng actually came to Guanyin Temple?

He Lianqing stood in the distance, looking at the dark guard who had no fear in the past, frowning his thick eyebrows with a pious face, offering incense in an orderly manner, kneeling upright, clasping his hands in prostration, and muttering something silently.

Although he didn't know what he was begging for, but seeing the well-dressed, slender man kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva like other weak people, praying devoutly, He Lianqing couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, and his heart softened a little. point.

Some thoughts that are not easy to detect gradually emerged in this crowded Guanyin Temple.

He Lianqing was helpless, he hadn't seen him for a few days, yet he still felt missing... He had never felt this kind of feeling before, but now he realized it, it was indeed as he had heard... Haunting in his heart, not very violent, but also Lingering.

Thinking of this, Helian squinted his eyes, wondering if the stupid guard who came to the Guanyin Temple to pray for God and Buddha reflected clearly.

it looks like...

Tsk, worrying.

However, because of meeting a certain "stupid dark guard" by accident, Helian Qing appeared in a very good mood.

Zhang Chi also noticed this.

He followed Helian leaning until Mrs. Lu came out, but the owner of the villa didn't order him to call the person who seemed to be asking the Bodhisattva for something, even though his eyes kept on that person.

When Zhang Chi silently followed his master down the mountain, he still couldn't figure out why he saw Luo Zheng in the Guanyin Temple. They were secret guards, and to some extent they were also killers.Therefore, what he saw today made him feel... a little weird...

However, Luo Zheng, who didn't know this at all, looked at the peace talisman lying in his palm, slowly bent his fingers, held it in his palm for a while, and then carefully put it away in the hidden pocket next to his chest.

The hot sun had passed, and there were fewer people in the temple than before. Luo Zhizhang and the others had not been seen, so Luo Zheng decided to go down the mountain and return to the inn.

After leaving the temple gate, Luo Zheng strolled down the mountain stepping on the steps.He was not as anxious as when he came here, but he felt more at ease in his heart. He raised his hand to caress his chest, and then sighed again.

This peace talisman... that's all...

Luo Zheng collected his thoughts, and in a rare peace, he followed the crowd down the mountain, and occasionally looked at the amulets and some bodhi-carved gadgets on the roadside stalls.

It wasn't until the sun set that Luo Zheng gradually walked out of the long street of the temple fair and walked in the direction of Henglai Inn.

"Luo Zheng."

Luo Zheng paused, feeling a little surprised in his heart, he turned to look at Ye Li who should not be in Lingzhou long ago, and did not respond.

But from Ye Li's point of view, the hidden guard was as solemn and unfriendly as ever.

He paused for a moment before opening his mouth in a low voice: "Can I take a step to speak?"

"Master Ye, what's the matter?" Luo Zheng asked blankly without moving his feet.

"It's related to Ah Qing." Ye Li stared into Luo Zheng's eyes without saying anything.

Hearing this, Luo Zheng frowned, turned sideways, followed Ye Li into a remote alley, and entered a private courtyard.

"Can you talk?" Seeing Ye Li close the door and window, and walk up to him full of thoughts, Luo Zheng asked very patiently.

Ye Li nodded, he first sighed, sat down very uneasy, and then spoke with worry.

"Then Mrs. Lu is a fake."
