across mountains and seas

The mountain here is not high, and Jing'an is quietly located deep in the mountainside.Because it is the end of summer, the vegetation is luxuriant, along the mountain road all the way to the nunnery.Moonlight occasionally falls from the gaps in the dense trees, shining on the red mud mountain road, the color is extremely white.

It should not be a guest of the world of mortals, but it is wrong to fall into the dust.

Song Zhen's spirit was better than before, Shen Jiangli gave her another needle on the way, she leaned against the car wall silently, when she smelled the long-lost and familiar fragrance, she couldn't help opening her eyes, He raised the curtain and looked out eagerly.

Liu Xi slept all the way with her pillow on Jing Lan's shoulder, and suddenly felt that Jing Lan pulled the rein tightly and stopped the horse. She squinted and looked forward, but saw the stone plaque with the word "Jing'an" crooked. Drooping crookedly on the mountain gate.

Jing Lan felt that something was wrong, "Xi'er, wait for me here, I'll go and have a look." She lifted her sword and jumped out of the carriage, and limped slightly towards the mountain gate.

The foot of the stone pillar at the mountain gate is densely woven with a layer of cobwebs, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

"How?" Liu Xi didn't worry about Jing Lan, she followed up with a knife, and after seeing the dilapidated appearance in front of the mountain gate, she turned her head to the carriageway: "Miss Song, when did you leave Jing'an?"

Supported by Shen Jiangli, Song Zhen got off the carriage weakly, and she was shocked when she saw the scene of the mountain gate.

"13."

Liu Xi frowned, and exchanged glances with Jing Lan, "Ah Lan, what do you think?"

Jing Lan looked forward gravely. Thirty steps away from the mountain gate, the main entrance of the nunnery was half-opened, and there was no shadow of light from inside. , approached the horse that Xue Qingxian was riding, took out two leather sheaths for weapons from under the saddle, tied one of them to his back first, put Chong Xiao into the sheath, and walked towards Liuxi with the sword in his hands .

She handed the other leather sheath of the weapon to Liu Xi, "Xi'er, put Shuying on your back first."

Liu Xi took the leather sheath of the weapon and carried Shuying on her back.

Xue Qingxian and Youyou tied the reins to the rear hook of the carriage, and Youyou asked in a puzzled voice, "What's going on inside?" As she spoke, she quietly moved half a step towards Shen Jiangli, and whispered, "Don't be afraid , this girl will protect you."

"No, yes!" Shen Jiangli gave her a disgusted look, helped Song Zhen approach the mountain gate, and asked solemnly, "Yes, this?"

Song Zhen nodded, how could she recognize her home by mistake?But why did Master and the others abandon the nunnery and leave without leaving any news for her?

"Youyou." Liu Xi looked at Youyou, "you stay with Miss Xue."

Holding a pipe, Youyou said dissatisfiedly, "I don't care about cars!"

Liu Xi raised her eyebrows, "It's also good, I can settle with you after Autumn."

Just as Youyou was about to speak, Xue Qingxian held her back and said in a low voice: "If we all go in, in case someone comes outside..."

"That's right." Youyou had no choice but to lean on Liuxi and stay as long as she stayed, but she still had to tell Shen Jiangli, "Shen Jiangli, if you are in danger, just shout, I will definitely come to rescue you."

"Yes, someone!" Shen Jiangli raised his head triumphantly, now that his sister and Xiao Wu are here, and with the two of them by his side, nothing will happen to her.

If Liu Xi looked at You You meaningfully, and You You turned her face away guiltily, how could she dare to look at Liu Xi?

Is this... guilty conscience?Because he lost someone, that's why he cares so much about the girl?

Liu Xi didn't think deeply, and it's not appropriate to settle the accounts between her and Youyou here.

"I'll come forward, Ah Lan, you are the queen."

"Ah."

Thinking of Jing Lan's unhealed leg injury, Liu Xi couldn't help exhorting softly, "Be careful."

"It's the same for you." Jing Lan chuckled, and her voice was much gentler than before.

Youyou "tsk tsk" twice, turned Xue Qingxian who was beside her, "Look, it's better for people to be in pairs."

Xue Qingxian had a complicated smile and didn't respond.

Youyou realized something, and couldn't help asking: "Xue Qingxian, have you really thought about it?"

Xue Qingxian knew what she was asking, "Yes."

"I can understand saving my sweetheart, but what you accomplished is..." Youyou also looked through the little letter these days. She calculated Xue Qingxian's age, and reminded in a low voice, "Why don't you? Let your junior sister travel around the mountains and famous rivers for several years, and send it to His Majesty when her health fails?"

Xue Qingxian's face darkened, "What did you say?"

"Anyway, I don't have any regrets in this life!" Although what Youyou said was not so good, it really hit the key point, "It can be considered that you sacrificed your life for hers, and she should be with you for a few years, I Think, she feels better, doesn't she?"

"She's like that... I'll feel bad." Xue Qingxian was afraid that Youyou would bring this up again, so he waved his hands and said, "I know how to deal with this matter, so I don't need to mention it again."

"Okay, don't mention it if you don't mention it." Youyou sat on the side of the carriage and looked at the sky boredly, "I thought I could have some hot porridge here, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

After what she said, Xue Qingxian also felt hungry, "I'll go to the forest to find something to eat."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, do you want roasted rabbit or roasted pheasant?" Youyou turned the pipe back and took out the piccolo, "It will be delivered to your door soon."

Xue Qingxian said solemnly: "Before Buddhism, you still committed murder! I'll go pick two wild fruits and come back."

"Wild fruits are wild fruits, and there are monkeys to pick them for us. You just have to wait patiently." After Youyou finished speaking, she blew her piccolo, and the sound of imperial beasts lingered in the forest, and there was a rustling sound in the forest. Go deeper into the mountainside.

Liuxi pushed open the half-opened nunnery door, and the creaking sound echoed in the empty courtyard.

Taking a quick look at the dust accumulated on the threshold by the moonlight, it is absolutely impossible to accumulate such a thick dust in ten years.In other words, not long after Song Zhen left Jing'an, everyone here left.

"Did your master ever think about moving out of here?" Liu Xi asked.

Song Zhen shook his head. In the memory of Jing'an, the master and his sisters regarded this place as their own. Most of them are orphans. Apart from this place, there is nowhere else in the world to go.

"Sister, sister!" Shen Jiangli moved his nose slightly, and felt a familiar smell in the courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xi asked softly.

Shen Jiangli frowned, "Familiar, familiar." After speaking, he sniffed a few more times.

The empty courtyard in front of the main hall of Jing’an is not big. Jing Lan walked into the empty courtyard and looked around several times, but found nothing strange, “Sister Shen, what did you smell?”

Shen Jiangli couldn't remember for a moment where he had smelled this smell.

An empty courtyard cannot hide people, if there is an old friend, they can only be hidden in the Daxiong Palace.

Jing Lan rushed to the front of the Daxiong Palace, and slammed the door open with one palm, a "hiss" suddenly sounded in the dark Buddhist hall, and a murderous creature opened its mouth and bit towards Jing Lan.

Jing Lan backed away, and the ominous creature poked out its entire head, with blue scales on its cheeks and a horn on its forehead.Now not only Jing Lan remembered, but Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli also remembered what this ominous creature was.

That blue beast under the Temple of Rebirth!

Qing Beast was originally extremely vicious, but after not wanting to see the person coming, the fierce light in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he uttered a message to Jing Lan gently.

Jing Lan showed joy, "Why did you climb to Nanyue Prefecture?" Although Dongfu Prefecture borders Nanyue Prefecture, there is a natural barrier by land, and it must not be crossed. Most of them can only take the Donghai Road.

The blue beast completely relaxed its vigilance and got out from the hall.

In addition to the big wound that was opened when the box was taken out, there are many new wounds on its body, and many of the scales are fragments.

It was the first time Song Zhen saw such a huge monster, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Be careful, it wants to eat you!"

"No, yes." Shen Jiangli believed in animism, they saved it, if it didn't remember, how could it suddenly become so docile?

The green beast crawled up to Jing Lan's side, but Jing Lan didn't dare to relax her vigilance completely. She held her inner breath in her palms. If the monster suddenly attacked, she could save her hand and retreat to protect herself.

"hiss--"

Qingshou tilted his head, rubbed against Jing Lan's feet while spitting out the letter, raised his head, and spitting out the letter at the approaching Shen Jiangli and Liu Xi, and when he looked at Song Zhen, the bottom of his eyes floated up again. There was a fierce light.

"Don't, fierce!" Shen Jiangli wrinkled his nose, "Okay, man!"

The green beast's fierce eyes met Song Zhen's frightened eyes, and it shrank back, backing behind Jing Lan.

Liu Xi approached the green beast, reached out and touched its head, "Why are you hurt again?" While speaking, looking at the new wound on its body, maybe it knew the inside story, but it was a pity that it couldn't speak.

The green beast obediently rubbed against Liu Xi's palm, seemed to understand her words, twisted its body, and then made a gesture to go into the hall.

"Follow."

Liu Xi took Jing Lan by his arm, and followed Qing Beast into the hall.

Jing Lan took out the fire pocket from her pocket, and after blowing it on, she touched the candlestick at the entrance, lit up a few residual candles one after another, and finally half of the hall was illuminated.

"hiss……"

The blue beast entwined around the corner of the Avalokitesvara on the left, and finally put its head on the Avalokitesvara's shoulder, and kept voicing messages to the crowd.

"How could this happen?" Song Zhen looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Except for the Avalokitesvara entangled by the green beast, which was still intact, the rest of the Buddha statues were smashed to pieces.

Jing Lan put away the fire folder, full of doubts, but one thing is certain, the original person in Jing'an definitely did not move away on his own, and most likely encountered a disaster.

"Master..." Song Zhen choked up and whispered softly, but there was no one here who could answer her.

Shen Jiangli sniffed and couldn't help covering his nose, "Corpse, smelly."

"Where?!" Liu Xi asked in amazement, and immediately drew his knife out of its sheath. If there were any zombies in this Buddhist hall, it would not be an ordinary idiot.

Shen Jiangli pointed to the Avalokitesvara that was entangled by the green beast.

Liu Xi exchanged glances with Jing Lan and approached Guanyin.

There is no corpse under Guanyin.

The two jumped behind Guanyin again, and found a huge cave, from Guanyin's vest to the inside, I don't know where it leads?The two were very close, so this time without Shen Jiangli, they could still smell the stench of corpses inside.

"Hiss..." The green beast spat out the letter, and its head lowered, blocking the cave.

"You are guarding here, aren't you?" Liu Xi asked.

The blue beast spat out a letter in response.

Jing Lan said in a deep voice: "Xi'er, let's leave." Then, she looked at the green beast fixedly, "It doesn't want us to go in, there must be danger inside."

The author has something to say: How many cuties still remember the green beast under the Temple of Death?
