Chapter 220

The wooden windows of the lotus garden where the solitary dwelling is washed, and the green and cold colors of the whole courtyard are washed away from the bustling scene.There are only a few sycamore trees in the courtyard, and although the floor is still brick, it is dotted with moss, like frost flowers.But when you look up, you can only see Xiu Huang as the sea, and when you look up, you can see a corner of the sky as clear as glass and clear blue. "Studying here is very good," I often said to myself, so I sent little Liu Zi to borrow many volumes of Buddhist scriptures from the old abbot Zen Master, "In this way, a gentleman can humble himself." It faded away, and I could discuss Buddhist scriptures and stories with the Zen master in my free time. There was a long rope piercing my nose, and I ran to the pain and exacerbated the whip; Sitting on the futon, the wind blows through the bamboo leaves to wash and rinse like rain. Sitting on the futon, he smiled at the Zen master. "The Zen master pondered, the queen just smiled and said nothing. The Zen master knew a lot about medical principles, so he ordered the little novice to make herbal tea under the profile, and personally took the queen's pulse, saying: "Your Majesty's illness seems to be improving. Not good, the city is full of epidemics right now, we can't hurt others, we have to get rid of the roots, so here we come. "The Zen master couldn't help saying: "The empress is a great compassionate heart, and there must be retribution." "I said: "Where, it is a big inappropriate to enter the scenic spot outside this place and disturb the meditation. "Because it was almost evening class time, the Zen master said goodbye and went first. I walked slowly outside the Great Light Hall, staring at the golden lacquer sandalwood Buddha enshrined inside. A thick red candle was burning on the bronze candlestick, and the candle oil ran along the bronze The shelf slipped down, layer upon layer, bright red, and the posture was ferocious, which made the tears of the candles look shocking. Back in the courtyard, Xuan Yu was already holding the lamp, and Xuan Yu was looking forward to the door. When he saw me, he came up to me in a panic, "My Good master, I'm so anxious, I've been away talking to Zen master for so long, if you don't come back, the slaves will go looking for you. ""What's up? "I gathered the Xuanhu cloak she wrapped around me, and my body was a little warmer. "The emperor sent someone to send something." Xuan Yu took me into the house, and Sandalwood made a gesture to move a pile of brocade boxes on the table to let me in. I looked over and shook my hand: "Just talk about it, you can put it away. Sandalwood then read one by one, it was just tonics and some silk clothes, what was rare was that there was a string of longan Bodhi [-] rosary beads and a few thumb-thick ginseng inside, Xuanyu and Xiao Liuzi were busy Helping me prepare a meal, "The servant girl heard that because of the widespread epidemics, it is rumored that only taking ginseng ointment can prevent the epidemic, so the price of ginseng in Beijing is extremely expensive, even if you have gold in your hand, you can't buy it.Who would have thought that the emperor would send a few sticks as soon as he sent it, so it can be seen that he is still thinking about his master." Xuan Yuxi said, "Yes, I don't want to say anything else, but when it comes to longan Bodhi, the servants heard from the old man in the palace that it is true. A rare item from Tianzhu, which is a must-have item for practitioners.It is also the top grade for exorcising evil and increasing wisdom.Only the emperor can enjoy it, and it is much more valuable than the ordinary gold beads and emeralds." Xiao Liuzi also said, "Yes." Sandalwood came over and handed me a bowl of cloud ear porridge, and said with a smile: "It's rare. What's surprising is that the emperor was so thoughtful. "There was a soybean oil lamp in the meditation room. Looking under the dim light, there was nothing but rice and tofu, and another plate of fried vegetables with bean sprouts. He said with a smile: "You guys are so talkative. If you don't eat it, it will be cold. Use your stomach Go warm it up. "

After eating, I only heard the strong wind piercing through the forest, and the bamboo leaves were rinsing. I asked: "Is it raining?"When the spring rain comes together, the cold air suddenly arises, not to mention the secluded courtyard of the secluded temple, where a lamp in the house is like a bean, reflected on the window paper, shaking the bamboo shadows, and the sycamore leaves are dripping, dripping continuously, and the night cold invades the bones.Xuan Yu shivered involuntarily, and said: "Master, let's go to bed earlier, it's much colder than the palace at night."

The emperor still sent people to ask questions every day, but just in case, I always sent the envoy away from the door, and I asked the emperor to be careful so as not to spread the disease.Fang Hua came every day to change prescriptions according to the pulse, and I felt refreshed, but I still had a low fever every night, and it didn't go away until dawn. "Master, why don't you open the door to see me?" Sandalwood was deeply puzzled every time I turned the messenger away, I smiled sadly, opened my eyes upward, looked into her eyes and said, "Tanxiang, take the mirror Show it to me." Looking at himself in the mirror.Those sad eyes, nailed in the gloomy bronze mirror, sunk deeply on the towering cheekbones.Just like a dry well, bleak and tearless, but with lingering hatred, unable to be myself.This person is so strange, not me.I feel great sadness in my heart, I just feel that this life is lifeless.When the mirror fell, before he could cover his face, he wept violently. "Master, don't worry, it will be useful." Xuan Yu rubbed the back of my hand to persuade.I closed my eyes, as if I didn't hear anything.Injured by a serious illness, trapped in the past.Take the medicine at dusk.Xiao Liuzi came in, with a bunch of green onions on the palm of his hand, which grew to an inch long. Under the surprised gaze of the queen, he smiled lightly and said, "The boy who served the prince sent it just now, and said it was sweet grass in the mountains. , take the medicine and give it to the master." I was a little surprised: "Oh, did he say anything?" Xiao Liuzi shook his head and smiled: "No. I think the prince needs someone to take care of him, so he left quickly." After taking the medicine, his mouth was full. bitter.I took a piece of grass as I said, lightly sipped it in my mouth, and chewed slowly.The grass is a thin round tube, with a sweet juice and a jerky fragrance, which offsets the bitterness of the medicine.

The years in the mountains passed by quickly, but in the past three months, my illness has really improved a lot, and my appearance has also vaguely returned to its previous appearance. It is said that the epidemic in the capital has also been brought under control.

In the middle of the night in the early summer of June, when the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a dozen or so black shadows suddenly appeared at the foot of the Moonlight Mountain. They were obviously masters, and they quietly touched the guard tent outside the Lotus Temple. The long and narrow sword was already in his hand, and he stole behind the sentry like a cat, and he killed the sentry with a light wave like cutting tofu.The leader gestured a few gestures, followed by a few men in black, pierced the tent with their swords and rushed in... About half an hour later, the men in black rushed out, and several people in black had already climbed onto the ground. courtyard wall.The leader gestured, and the black shadow floated into the Lotus Temple like a bat.When the black shadow drifted into the yard, I had just closed my clothes and lay down, still not fully asleep.Suddenly the door bolt creaked.I glanced casually with my blurred eyes, and there was a black shadow on the window paper, and the door bolt was moving slightly, and I was so frightened that my whole body was cold, and I reflexively rolled under the bed.Anxious and misunderstood, the door was bolted to prove that there was someone inside, and the bed was warm.I was anxious and didn't know what to do.He climbed out of the bed in two steps, huddled beside the cabinet, and found a pair of scissors for cutting candles.Seeing the door being gently pushed open and a black figure rushing towards the bed, I didn't care about anything else, I jumped up and inserted the scissors, shouting: "Help!" The window jumped in and stood next to the queen, and a person jumped from the top of the wall, but it was Jin Mi dressed as a guard, and he was already fighting with the man in black.Headed by a gesture.The man in black's hands became more and more ruthless, and his moves were fatal.Jin Mi and Xuan Yu desperately protected me and fought fiercely with a dozen black-clothed men, all of whom were injured. The black-clothed men are highly skilled in martial arts, but the two who arrived unexpectedly fought to the death. After fighting hard for so long, they were able to fight back.The leader of the man in black jumped up, turned his dagger up and stabbed at Xuanyu, but halfway through the sword changed his move and stabbed me obliquely.The darkness of the sword body only brought the sound of the swift wind in the night, but there was no light at all.The sudden change was unexpected.I couldn't dodge in time, at this time Jin Mi tried his best to block me, and the dagger was sent into his chest with a "chi".Jin Mi gritted his teeth and pushed back with pain, and hissed at Xuanyu: "Go away!" Xuanyu grabbed my hand and flew out of the courtyard.The leader of the man in black snorted coldly, threw a sword and shot.The two of them were in the air, Xuan Yu couldn't dodge anymore, I just felt dizzy, and I knew there was a sword flying from behind.At this lightning-like flashing moment, Xuan Yu hugged her and turned around, and the sword hit her arm with a "Chi" sound, "Xuan Yu" I screamed, looking at the gurgling blood from her wound.With a pale face, Xiaoluo pulled out her sword abruptly, and shot a man in black in the courtyard with a throw.At this time, Jin Mi in the yard was already resisting me stubbornly, and Xuan Yu was also seriously injured, leading me to fall down. "Master, go!" She pushed me desperately. "Want to go" Several men in black jumped from the wall and surrounded Xuanyu and me. Xiao Liuzi, Tanxiang, Luwu and the injured Jin Mi were escorted out from the door.The leader of the man in black looked directly at it, but it was colder than the river in winter, and I shivered unconsciously. "If my lady wants to leave, I'm afraid they won't survive!" The leader of the man in black pointed at the people around him with a grinning smile, "What do you want?" At the foot, "After the empress commits suicide, we will naturally let these slaves go!" "No!" Jin Mi and Xuan Yu yelled at the same time, and little Liuzi and the others had tears in their eyes.My heart is pierced like a knife, and if I die anyway, it's better to have a good time by myself, so as not to be humiliated in front of others.I hit the blade with a flying arrow.My heart skipped a beat, I picked up the sword fiercely and put it on my neck, and suddenly smiled at the leader of the man in black. The smile under the moonlight was like a blooming euphyllum, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.The leader of the man in black was stunned, "Remember what you said!" I said word by word.Just as I was about to raise my sword to kill myself, a dagger hit the blade of the sword. My hand went numb and the sword fell to the ground. "How courageous, the emperor dared to take hostages at his feet!" Four or five black shadows jumped out of the bamboo forest.The leader of the man in black was surprised, so many people came, but he didn't notice it, he thought it was because his martial arts were not inferior to him.With a wave of his hand, he swarmed up with the killer behind him and fought with the latecomers.When I watched them distracted with cold eyes, I pulled out the phoenix hairpin on my head and stabbed the eyes of the man in black who was holding sandalwood closest to me, "Ah!" The man screamed, dropped his weapon and covered his face in the dust. tumbling inside. "Bitch, take your life!" The man in black who was holding Xiao Liuzi next to him saw that his accomplice was injured, his eyes burst into flames, and he raised his sword to stab me. "Master, let's go!" Little Liu Zi unexpectedly turned around and hugged the man's waist and rushed towards the wall. Seeing this opportunity, Jin Mi and Xuan Yu also fought desperately, and there was chaos inside and outside the court. "Looking for death!" The man in black who was hugged by Xiao Liuzi threw down his palm impatiently, and Xiao Liuzi immediately vomited blood, but he still refused to let go, "Master, go away..." Tan Xiang burst into tears, Gritting my teeth, I didn't look at the injured Lvwu, and took my hand and ran to the depths of the bamboo forest, "Grab her, don't let her run away!" A few black shadows followed quickly behind. "Dangdangdang" The bells in the silent temple rang loudly, presumably the sound of fighting alarmed the monks in the temple. "No, set fire!" The leader of the man in black tried his best to attack his opponent with a sword, jumped a few steps back, and ordered, and the men in black who were fighting fiercely jumped out of the battle circle and ran around.And that opponent seemed to have no intention of fighting, and rushed into the bamboo forest after me. "Quick, grab her and kill her immediately!" I crouched behind a pile of rocks, covered my mouth with tears in my eyes, and watched the men in black running towards the sandalwood wearing my clothes, "Master!" Go, go, go, you must live, you must live!" Sandalwood's pale face and resolute eyes spun like a lantern in front of me. "It's on fire! It's on fire!" The sound of a gong was vaguely heard, and it was on fire. Could it be set by those killers?The night wind blew me shivering, remembering the sandalwood's advice, I wiped away my tears, stood up and ran in the opposite direction desperately, panicked and didn't choose the road, and with the dense bamboo leaves and dim light, my feet slipped and fell to the ground. On the ground, his head hit a boulder in the soil, and he fainted from a burst of pain.

In front of the Lotus Temple, people in black gathered together, and one of them whispered beside the leader. After a long while, the leader showed a satisfied smile, looked up at the growing fire, and waved his hands and disappeared into the night. "Reporting to the Lord, I fell off the cliff." A figure in the bamboo forest rushed in, "What?" Even in the dark night, he seemed to feel the anger of the Lord, "No, the queen is so stubborn, no It would be so easy to die. "Look around," the leader commanded. After his subordinates dispersed, he also searched for it himself. Finally, he found me who was fainted behind a piece of inconspicuous rocks, and looked at the corner of my mouth. Moved and smiled.
