Lei Yue Longmen

Chapter 253

Cen Zhu had an ominous premonition in her heart? She connected Abbot Qinglian's going out to give lectures with this incident.It seems that this evil wind came straight to Qixia Temple.If it is as she expected, the temple is now empty and no one is in charge of the overall situation, it is a good time for the enemy to attack.So going back to the temple at this moment is tantamount to throwing herself into a trap, so she insisted on going down the mountain.In fact, it was determined that something would happen in the temple.

"The blood is getting thicker and thicker!" Shi Ai said suddenly.

The veins on Cen Zhu's forehead were throbbing, and she knew that this meant that there were more and more casualties. Maybe the other party resisted to the death after being ambushed, and the two sides were fighting hand-to-hand.

"No, I have to go up the mountain to see? See?!" Cen Zhu was really worried. The master arranged for Shi Ai to escort Yingrou and grandma down the mountain, and he wanted to go to the mountain to find out the news.Yingrou pondered for a while, and said: "If it is like this, it is better to let Shi Ai be with you. There is no danger here for the time being. It will be much more convenient for you to bring Shi Ai."

Both sides of the clinker disagreed, Cen Zhu didn't want Yingrou to have no one to protect, and Shi Ai didn't want to protect others.The situation became stalemate. At this time, a young monk in gray clothes came up and down the mountain road. Cen Zhu recognized him as the little monk Zhenwu, the disciple of Master Qingyun, the younger brother of Abbot Qinglian, who was in charge of taking care of the daily life beside Master Qingyun.Quickly called him to stop, "Little Master Zhenwu, why did you come down the mountain? How is the temple?" In fact, from the moment he saw him, Cen Zhu had guessed that nothing happened in the temple. Yes, calm down a little.

Zhenwu also recognized her as Lord Cen who donated a lot of money to the temple. He felt grateful for her good deeds, put his palms together in front of his chest, and performed a Buddhist salute to her, "Benefactor Cen, little monk Feng Qingyun The master ordered to pick up a female benefactor to go up the mountain, but he didn't find anyone on the way, may I ask the benefactor Cen if he has seen it before?"

Cen Zhu was surprised, "What kind of female benefactor?"

"The little monk doesn't know. I only know that this female benefactor originally wanted to go up the mountain to ask Master Qingyun to pray for rain. However, the time has passed and it still hasn't arrived. There was a strong wind just now, and Master Qingyun was worried that the other party was lost. On the way, I sent my uncle Qingsong to go to the back mountain to meet him, and then sent a little monk to come to the front door to meet him. Since the benefactor Cen didn’t see it, the little monk will go forward again? Look at the road? Look? Don’t disturb the benefactor Cen, this time Just say goodbye!"

Cen Zhu was taken aback, female benefactor?Praying for rain?Even Qingsong was dispatched?

There are not many people in the temple who can command him, but how many people can Yu Rui have who can let the monks of the Qing Dynasty come out of the mountain gate to meet him?

The high-ranking Qingsong went to the back mountain, and the junior monk came to the front door. Judging from Master Qingyun's arrangement, it is obvious that the other party's most likely source is the back mountain. This little monk of true enlightenment Just to check for omissions and fill in vacancies, just in case.

Few people pass through the road to the back mountain, but Cen Zhuo knows that it is the closest to the imperial family's Zhenxia Palace. If you come from the Zhenxia Palace, it is obviously more convenient to go through the back mountain than the front door.

Praying for rain?Who would go up to the mountain to ask for advice on praying for rain?

All the signs point to a node that makes her shudder.

But? How is it possible?

Cen Zhu's heart was beating fast. After returning from northern Xinjiang, she was in a state of seclusion both physically and mentally.They don't know anything about the earth-shaking events that happened in the court, they don't ask any questions, they are all shocked and confused.I really can't think of anyone who would be against her now.

The increasingly menacing face of the salesman and the bloody scene she imagined were constantly playing in her mind. She forced herself to calm down, trying to figure out a clue, but she couldn't.After only one month of closure, she lost her ability to judge the court situation.

At this time, everyone heard a dull sound of smashing the ground, which appeared in the woods not far away.Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of "rolling" as if the wheels of a car were going down out of control, carrying stones down?Cen Zhu's heart trembled twice following the impact, and suddenly he ran towards the source of the sound.Everyone saw her jumping down the mountain path, and she ran several feet away from the pavilion in the blink of an eye, and they all followed her.

The closer it was to the source, the thicker the bloody smell became. Cen Zhuo climbed up a broken rock slope and saw a pool of thick black blood still splashing on the ground. She suddenly raised her head, I saw a man in black hanging from an old pine tree protruding from the rock. His body was twisted and arched, his hands and feet were hanging down his shoulders, like a black cloud of fleshy mud, dripping blood.

This scene was so palpitating that Cen Zhu's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.Seeing this scene, Shi Ai, Yingrou and others who arrived later were also terrified.After Cen Zhu came back to his senses, he got up in a jerk, raised his hands together with Shi Ai, and unloaded the man from the tree.He obviously "rolled down" from the steep slope above. There was a section of the steep slope that was rocky, and the protruding sharp edges were like knives, enough to cut through human flesh.Or? No? The pine tree blocked it, and when he rolled down the slope, he would really fall into a puddle of meat.

But even so, when everyone put him down, they saw the fatal blood hole in his abdomen, and more than ten wounds of various sizes on his shoulders and arms, and their hearts sank.

When Cen Zhu saw his face clearly, his back was suddenly icy cold.

He was still panting, his throat was rolling, and the gushing blood stained half of his cheeks and neck red.Cen Zhu panicked in his heart, desperately helped him hold the bloody mouth, "General Yue, you? Hold on, General Yue..."

But? She couldn't hold it at all, and hot liquid rushed out from between her fingers, scalding her hand that had just regained consciousness trembling.

Yuezhong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but it was blocked by blood.

Yingju said: "Does he have something to say? Say it, help him up quickly."

Cen Zhu did as he said, listen? He choked out a mouthful of blood, and whimpered: "His...His Highness?...Houshan...vomit!...Cloud...plant! Save...save..."

There was a haze in front of Cen Zhu, "I know, you are? What you want to say, Your Highness? I met an ambush in the back mountain and asked me to go to Yunzhong for help, right? Don't you? Don't worry, Your Highness will be fine, I will immediately Send you off? Find a doctor!"

But his body twitched violently for a couple of times, and then remained motionless.

Cen Zhu heard a sound of "Namo Amitabha" with compassion, his throat was choked, and his hands were powerlessly covering his eyes.She raised her head, and with tears in her eyes, she saw the little monk Zhenwu standing on a high place covered in golden light. After shaking her head, she realized that his back was facing the scorching sun.

Cen Zhu seemed to have grasped something, put him down flat, and said to Zhenwu, "Little Master, can you help me go down the mountain to do something?"

Zhenwu was duty-bound and said, "Benefactor Cen, please speak."

Cen Zhu took out a waist card of the Eastern Palace from Yuezhong's waist, handed it to Zhenwu, and said, "Help me go to the Yamen of the Infantry Commander in Nancheng to send a message to General Mu Yunzhong. He said: The yellow croaker has been caught, and the shrimp soldiers will be sent to rescue it quickly." .”

The little monk took the waist card, clasped his hands knowingly and said, "Don't worry, Benefactor Cen! The little monk will definitely help bring it."

Cen Zhu then said to Yingju: "Yingrou, you? Let's escort grandma up the mountain with Shi Ai!"

"how about you?"

"I want to go to the back mountain."

Yingrou looked at her with a complicated expression. If the blood energy came from the back mountain, it would take at least half an hour for the wind to come here, and maybe everything has already been settled.She turned her head, and suddenly stopped Little Master Zhenwu, "Little Master, can you please? When you get to the pavilion, tell grandma for me? Let her go back to the temple and wait for me. I'll be back soon." Then she said to Cen Zhu very rationally: "The back mountain is so big, it's not so easy to find someone. Bringing me and Shi Ai will help you."

Cen Zhu lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her? She, deep down in her heart, she longed for her to go with her, because her going meant that Shi Ai would also go. Shi Ai's sense of smell was beyond ordinary, and could help her find Li Jingzhu faster.But she was unwilling to impose this danger on unrelated people.This kind of contradictory and timid psychology made her not even have the courage to answer yes? and no?.

Ying Rou glanced at her thoughts, and said, "Ah, even if we're not lovers, we're still friends. It's something every Lanque person would do for a friend. You don't have to." Blame yourself."

There was a burst of soreness in Cen Zhu's eyes, and he finally raised his head and looked directly into her eyes, "But I want you to go, but I don't want you to go."

Yingrou smiled, "I know. You? Tell me frankly, that's good. Let's go, don't delay any longer. It's still a long way from here to the back mountain."

Shi Ai reluctantly took the lead, and the three of them climbed back to the mountain.Climbing to a mountain path, Cen Zhu came across another corpse, wearing simple mountain clothes, but at first glance? His posture holding the knife was obviously that of Lian Jiazi.There were traces of fighting around him, the blade was completely stained red with blood, there was a fatal cross-cut wound on his neck, and there was a pool of dried blood that obviously did not belong to him half a step below his feet.Cen Zhu could almost imagine the scene. When this man stabbed the knife into his opponent's abdomen, he was also slashed in the neck with a sword.From the pool of blood on the soles of his feet, there was a series of tick-tock splashes of blood, extending all the way to the bottom of the hillside, which happened to be the same as Yuezhong's origin.

Cen Zhu immediately realized that Yuezhong's abdominal injury was caused by his fighting with this person.Although Yuezhong's martial arts has not reached the level of senior brother and Gu Rentu, it is not as advanced as Xiang Ming's.But Yurui is also considered a top-notch player.Judging from the scene where blood was spilled around him and his body covered in bruises, the fight at that time must have been extremely fierce.But apart from the fatal wound on his neck, this person didn't have a single trauma on his body.It means that before his death, this person has been firmly suppressing Yue Zhong, and his martial arts skills are as high as one can imagine.

She didn't know what kind of wisdom and courage Etsuchu relied on to successfully paralyze the enemy under the unfavorable situation at that time, and killed him with one blow while enduring the severe pain in his abdomen.Perhaps, only at the moment when the knife pierced through the abdomen, did he get the only chance to get close to that person.

"What a good guy! I'm talking about your friend," Shi Ai changed his sneering attitude before, fearing that she might misunderstand, and explained repeatedly, "It's at least two miles from here to the pavilion! He endured the pain Walked over, and fell down?" In her perception, only a man whose body and mind are as hard as iron can do this, and a sense of admiration spontaneously arose in her heart.

Cen Zhu flicked down two useless teardrops, took the knife from the man's hand, held it in his own palm, and continued walking towards the back of the mountain.This group of people came aggressively, obviously they came rushing to kill them all, and their methods were extremely cruel.Even the guards close to Li Jingchen were brutally murdered, how could she be saved?She has already prepared in her heart that she may have to face everything.

"Yingrou, it's still too late to go back now!"

"It's too late." Yingrou looked at her compassionately, "We Lanque people have never been greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone see death without saving them!"

When he arrived at the back mountain, Shi Ai finally touched the source of that blood energy.On that path paved with blue stones, there were two or three corpses of men at every arrow, all dressed in black clothes similar to Yuezhong's, apparently they were the guards of the Eastern Palace.And the more they went up, the more corpses there were. When they arrived at a narrow passage with dense bushes on both sides, there were more than a dozen corpses piled up. It was obviously the main ambush point for the enemy.Just as Cen Zhu was about to go down, Shi Ai held her down. She pointed up and found two people on the branch of the locust tree a hundred paces away, one on the left and one on the right, looking around vigilantly. .Wearing bamboo hats, they are all dressed up as mountain people, but their posture is like a vulture hunting for prey, waiting for the enemy to take the bait at any time.

The three of them immediately lowered their bodies and hid behind the bushes.

"This is good news, it means that they haven't succeeded yet, otherwise these people would have evacuated long ago." Ying Ju said.

Cen Zhu was so nervous that he wanted to die, his eyes searched the mountain path again and again, for fear of accidents.In addition to the dead bodies, there are many broken branches and even bamboo hats scattered on the mountain road.Thinking to himself, maybe it was? The strong wind just now made the enemy's ambush encounter a setback, and it also gave Li Jingchen a glimmer of life.

Just as she was thinking about it, something hit her neck suddenly, causing her to hiss in pain. She moved her hand back and found that it was a small stone.Turning around, he glanced in surprise, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the oval-shaped "small rock" on the big rock.If not? The small stone is too round, and there are twelve neatly arranged ring scars on it. With its similar color to the big stone, it is almost regarded as a small stone.

A hand stretched out from behind the stone and pointed to the side. There is a mountain depression surrounded by rocks.Just right? It can block the sight of people on the tree.Cen Zhu patted Yingrou and Shi Ai's shoulders, and quietly searched for it.Soon, the "little rock" also rolled in, and the two sides looked at each other, both of them were overjoyed, "Little uncle!"

Qingsong was disheveled and embarrassed, looking at Cen Zhu almost tearing up.Not to mention how wronged I am.

The two parties were not in a hurry to complain, and exchanged information first, only to find out that Qingsong was also the last one.He was ordered by Senior Brother Qingyun to come to the back mountain to pick up people. He saw the dead body on the mountain road, and realized that something had happened. Two masters came and chased him fiercely.The opponent's martial arts skills were very high, and he was no match for four fists with two fists, so he had to flee in embarrassment.Fortunately? He was familiar with the terrain of Qixia Mountain, and he ran into a thorny forest before throwing him away.Then he went up the mountain again, wanting to take a detour back to the temple to report, but found that the way up the mountain was blocked by those people. While thinking about countermeasures, he saw the three of Cen Zhuo.It's okay? They didn't act rashly, otherwise, they would have been laid across the mountains like those corpses.

"How many people are there?" Cen Zhuo asked.

"My sneaky estimate is that there are no more than ten people on the tree alone, and many of them are searching the mountains nearby, all of them are first-class experts. Or not? I run so fast that I almost see you Buddha."

"Little uncle, you? Guess who I met on the mountain?"

"Who?"

"Little teacher!"

"Where is she?"

"I hid her in a cave I found recently. In front of that cave, there were two huge rocks with a slit in the middle. What if it wasn't? Once I caught a rabbit, and the rabbit went through the slit and suddenly It disappeared, and it took me a lot of effort to climb in, otherwise I wouldn't have found a cave behind the boulder."

"Where is the cave?"

"Just here? Five hundred steps down the mountain, there is a thorn forest, through the thorn forest, and five hundred steps to the southeast, there is a pile of chaotic rocks. At the bottom... are... those two big rocks. The slit is very Narrow, you and Aunt Su's figure should be able to get in, but this Aunt Shi may not." Shi Ai is a tall type that is rare among women, even stronger than ordinary adult men, Qingsong Although she has grown and matured in recent years, she still looks like a thin monkey, which is still a little worse than her.Make the above judgments based on your body shape.Shi Ai couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard that.

Cen Zhu let out a long breath because he heard that Li Jingzhu was temporarily safe, as if he had been resurrected.Suddenly, I heard two sounds of "pushing, fluttering". What's the matter? It fell to the ground one after another.

"They got off the tree, so they must have found something. Little Martial Uncle, let me help you? Lead them away. You? Must? Rescue Little Martial Aunt." After finishing speaking, he crawled out from the valley, Emerge from the bushes and quickly descend along the forest? Run wildly.Sure enough, the two people who got off the tree found him and immediately ran after him.After the three people were out of sight, Cen Zhu and Ying Rou Shi Ai followed Qing Song's previous guidance and ran quietly towards the rocky rock.
