Hidden Blade Chapter 79: 1 extra person
In the early morning of the second day, Xu Han and everyone came to the tomb of Niutou mentioned in Nineteen Mouths.
He picked up the weeds in front of the tombstone at the top of the mountain, looked at the broken handwriting on the tombstone, and asked: "This is it?"
Xiao Nineteen lowered his head absent-mindedly, and did not answer Xu Han's question immediately. Zhou Yuan, who was on the side, didn’t dare to neglect Xu Han. He hurriedly said with a smile on his face when he saw nineteen without saying: “We came here and searched for it that day, and we also asked many people around us that we never heard it. I said that there is no Niutou Village near here. Later, I met a hunter and found it here."
"And according to what he said, a few months ago, he had seen a little girl and a little monk come here. Hearing his description, his appearance seemed to be very similar to the person that Pavilion Master Xu was looking for, and appeared The time is also consistent."
"Yeah." Xu Han nodded when he heard the words, but was also noncommittal.
Then he stretched out his hand again to wipe the dust off the tombstone, and then he could see the writing on the tombstone: Princess Jingyuan of Da Chu, the tomb of his beloved wife Fang Qingqing-fool Li Dongjunli.
"Li Dongjun!?" Seeing those last words, Xu Han couldn't help but shocked.
"It's the Li Dongjun you think." At this time, a soft voice rang in Xu Han's ears. Xu Han looked back, but saw that Ye Hongjian was holding a thick ancient book, and his eyes fell. Look at him.
Ye Hongjian's expression is calm, it seems that there is nothing unusual, but in fact, the more calm she is, the more disturbed Xu Han becomes.
But Ye Hongjian didn't seem to feel this. She stepped to Xu Han's side. The ancient book in her hand was stuffed into Xu Han's arms at that time, and then she turned her eyes to look at the tombstone in front of her, her mouth Li Yan said: "After hearing nineteen talk about this yesterday, I went to Yanxia City and found this city chronicle in the prefect's yamen."
Speaking, Ye Hongjian also stretched out his hand to gently pinch some weathered stone chips from the tombstone, and placed it on his palm to look carefully.
Xu Han was taken aback again. He subconsciously looked at the book in his hand, only to see the big characters "Yan Xia Cheng Zhi" written on the somewhat yellowed title page.
He hurriedly opened the Chronicles, and one page of the book was intentionally folded at the footer. Xu Han's heart warmed and he guessed that this must be what Ye Hongjian said. He can probably imagine After hearing this, Ye Hongjian went to Yanxia City to obtain this thing alone, and stayed up late looking for clues. But he quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and looked down at the words on the page.
This city chronicle obviously has a few years, the pages of the book are yellowed, and the writing on it is also a little fuzzy. Xu Han has spent a lot of time before he can understand the above-mentioned things.
In the three years of the Great Zhou calendar, the remnants of the Chu State were entrenched in Niutou Mountain, and General Liu Zhuang was ordered to suppress the enemy.
Three thousand soldiers encircled Niutoushan on the 67th. They never ascended to heaven and cut off the door of their escape. The thieves were terrified and self-determined on Niutoushan on the evening of the 67th.
After reading this place, Xu Han was still a little unclear, but he didn't wait for him to ask. Ye Hongjian, who looked down at the stone chips in his hand, said again without raising his head: "Look back again."
Xu Han was taken aback, only to realize that the footer of another page in the book was also folded by Ye Hongjian.
He didn't doubt that he had him, so he hurriedly looked down.
The remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty were punished, hundreds of dead bodies piled up like a mountain, no one was buried. The people nearby often say that there are often women wailing in the night here, and it seems that the souls of the dead are still there.
In July of the same year, a high-ranking monk wandered into this place. He practiced for a hundred days before the corpse, eventually reducing the karma of the dead souls and burying him, and Niutou Village was also renamed Niutou Tomb.
After reading this article, Xu Han just raised his head again, looked at Ye Hongjian and asked: "But this city chronicle didn't say the identity of the eminent monk..."
Ye Hongjian also seemed to have finished looking at the stone chips in her hand at this time, her jade hand raised lightly, and the stone chips in her hand were blown up by the cold wind at that time, turning into dust and sand.
"This tombstone is two hundred years old, and time can be matched." Ye Hongjian obviously intended to embarrass Xu Han. She never looked back at Xu Han, and said to herself at that time: "According to Daxia's records, in the second five years of Chu, that is, the fourth spring of the Dazhou calendar, Li Dongjun returned west. Since then, Longyin Temple has changed its previous neutral attitude and fully supported Daxia Taizu Li Hanbing. Because of this, Li Hanbing was able to post-control and unify the princes in the northern territory in just three years, and establish the Daxia Dynasty that can fight against the Dazhou."
This period of history is not so close. Li Dongjun can be respected as a national teacher by Daxia Wangting to a large extent because it was because of his bridge that made Longyin Temple fall into the Daxia line.
It's just that Xu Han is still puzzled, and asks accordingly: "But if so, I can't be sure that this Li Dongjun is that Li Dongjun."
Although Xu Han has great skepticism about Li Dongjun’s life and death, and even good and evil Xu Han, after all, he is a world-renowned holy monk, so Xu Han dare not dare to do something that goes against the Buddhist way. Speculate wildly.
Ye Hongjian, who had heard that it was hidden, couldn't help but give Xu Han a viciously blank look at that time, but he seemed to feel that this was inappropriate, and quickly retracted his gaze.
There are so many kinds of amorous feelings that inadvertently flow out, and the cautiousness after suddenly awakening. The two are intertwined, falling on the girl who has always been proud, but it makes people feel particularly distressed.
"There are large documents in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Longyin Temple that record Li Dongjun’s life. Although it is true and false, most of the records of his first half of his life have mentioned a woman. Some people say this The woman is the princess of Da Chu. Some people say that after being an admiral, some people even say that she is a grandson of a fairy. Although the rhetoric is different, without exception, the identity of this woman is very noble."
"It was said in the book that Li Dongjun had just opened the altar in Chang'an, the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom, and taught Buddhism after he completed the middle school of Longyin Temple. Self-extrication, dismissive of Dharma, and even hatred."
"So after hearing that Li Dongjun was spreading the altar under his nose, he was extremely angry. The army was ordered to capture Li Dongjun, and it was this woman who took the action to keep Li Dongjun safe. But judging from the situation at the time, it seems that only the princess was the princess. This is only possible with the body of a daughter of gold, and afterwards, there are rumors that after Li Dongjun returned to Longyin Temple, the woman rushed to Longyin Temple because he admired Li Dongjun and asked for Dharma at Longyin Temple. Even then Li Dongjun decided to go west. When I went to Kunlun to pay homage to the Mahayana Buddhism of the sages, the woman also appeared in the sending team..."
"And after the demise of Da Chu, there was a record of the daughters of the royal family of the Da Chu royal family. The record of his whereabouts became blurred. The last time he appeared was near Qingzhou in the second year of Chu, and the title of the daughter of the royal family at that time was the word Jingyuan!"
Ye Hongjian's long talk made everyone present dumbfounded, and it took a while before they reacted.
"But this...what does it have to do with our affairs today." Zhou Yuan saw that the atmosphere was silent, so he asked cautiously after a while.
"Yes, Aunt Hongjian, why are you talking about this, aren't we looking for the little monk named Guanglingui? What's the relationship with Li Dongjun?" The nineteen on the side was not found yesterday. The master of my own family recovered from the disappointment of knocking Zhou Yuan on the side and not responding today, and then looked at Ye Hongjian with a strange expression, the expression on his face was quite puzzled.
Ye Hongjian, who has just passed two decades of life this year, is called an aunt, and it is naturally an extremely uncomfortable thing. There are faint blue veins bulging around the temples on her pretty face.
She glanced at Xu Han casually again, and then said quietly: "It's just a sigh, a person lives for a lifetime, but for decades, birth, old, sickness and death are fleeting, I think when Li Dongjun sets up such a tombstone , The bottom of my heart is bound to be regrettable. So..."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Xu Han intentionally or unintentionally, and then said meaningfully: "So I am a saint, and I have such distress. The lessons of the past are still there, and we should not... let us down. This is the best time."
Nineteen of these words are naturally incomprehensible, but Xu Han and Qin Keqing changed their expressions at that time, and their expressions were inexplicable.
However, it is not waiting for Xu Han and others to digest Ye Hongjian’s sudden sigh. Ye Hongjian quickly said again: “Of course, apart from the sigh, this Li Dongjun’s identity is indeed a great for us. Relationship."
Speaking of this, the expression on Ye Hongjian's face suddenly became solemn.
She said: "Guanglin Ghost once said that he came from a remote temple in Daxia, but what the name of the temple was, he didn't understand where it was. He also doesn't know the names of the old monks he has been with day and night."
"Let’s put aside the weirdness of this for the time being, but after Liu Dingdang lost control and forcibly broke into Longyin Temple, a monk who claimed to be Li Dongjun was projected out of Guanglin Gui’s body. This shows that There must be some connection between the little monk and the missing Li Dongjun."
"Furthermore, the palace owner of Senluodian who claimed to be the King of Ksitigarbha, seemed to be aware of this. He saw Li Dongjun’s appearance that day and did not reveal too much difference, and from his words at the time. It is not difficult to see that he seems to know Li Dongjun very well."
Xu Han listened to Ye Hongjian's words, and after hesitated slightly, he also took the stubborn words.
"From the first time I saw the ghost of Guanglin in Linglong Pavilion, I realized that this little monk was unusual, lacking like a red paper...what the girl said..." Xu Han said that there was a slight presence in this place. It seems that he is not able to get used to this change in title. However, it seems that apart from Ye Hongjian, the other people who were trying to figure out why the Niutou Village disappeared out of thin air did not notice Xu Han's short pause.
"The relationship between Guanglin Ghost and Daxia State Master Li Dongjun is extremely suspicious, but the most strange thing is...If Niutou Village really does not exist, where did Guanglin Ghost go after the Linglong Pavilion battle? ?"
"Which Guanglin ghost deceived the uncle?" Based on the principle of saving others by oneself, Nineteen raised his own doubts.
"It shouldn't be..." Xu Han frowned and said, he watched Guanglin Gui desperately for that Liu Dingdang. At that time Liu Dingdang was in a dangerous situation and was almost swallowed up by the power of the half-monster running away from his body. Fortunately, Xu Han rescued Liu Dingdang with the blood of the emperor.
Even if the Guanglin ghost is not grateful to Xu Han, Liu Dingdang's situation is extremely unstable. I think it is for Liu Dingdang, and Guanglin ghost should not deceive Xu Han about this matter.
"Besides, didn’t you say that an orion had seen Guanglin ghost and Liu Dingdang return here? If they really wanted to deceive me, they shouldn’t come back here by themselves, because if it were us If you come to find him, you will inevitably find their traces. I think it is more likely that they may think so in their own hearts-Niutou Village exists..."
Such inferences cannot be said to be unreasonable~IndoMTL.com~ But there are still some unthinkable, even unexplainable details.
Zhou Yuan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I probably understand what you mean. You mean someone created a illusion, or used some magical power to change the perception of the two of you. , And it is said that after the Guanglin ghost and Liu Dingdang were wiped out in Niutou Village, Liu Dingdang fell ill, and then the Ksitigarbha king appeared, and Liu Dingdang was transformed into a semi-monster... It is said that all this is probably intentional by the Ksitigarbha. But..."
Zhou Yuan's words have not been finished yet, Xu Han who heard these words suddenly shook his body, as if he was thinking of something, a hand suddenly stretched out to block Zhou Yuan's following, wrinkling He frowned and said: "What did you just say?"
Zhou Yuan was taken aback, but he didn't dare to disobey Xu Han. He was afraid that he might have angered Xu Han by saying something wrong, so he cautiously said: "I said all this is connected with the Ksitigarbha ..."
"No." But this time he was also interrupted again by Xu Han before he had a chance to finish. "The above sentence..."
Many people around were also puzzled by Xu Han's weird attitude at the moment, so they all cast their gazes towards Xu Han.
Zhou Yuan was more and more frightened. He carefully looked at Xu Han's face, and said tentatively again like walking on thin ice: "It was Guanglin ghost and Liu Dingdang who were killed in Niutou Village..."
"Yes!" Xu Han was a little nervous and patted his forehead at that time, and then he swept across the people one by one with a calm gaze, then lowered his head and raised his eyes, with a strange and extremely strange expression. Faintly asked in a gloomy tone.
"If Niutou Village hadn't existed from the beginning..."
"Who is Liu Dingdang who has been with Guanglin Gui?"
