Capture the Jade:

The crown prince was stunned. He wanted to see the appearance of General Teng's daughter last time at Le Dao Villa, but that day Mrs. Teng had rubella. The lady is watching next door today.

Coincidentally speaking, if it wasn't for the sudden and wonderful flute sound as a traction, he would not have heard the news.

Would you like to go over and have a look? Then he smiled and shook his head, even if he was a little curious about Mrs. Teng because of General Teng, he shouldn't act abruptly.

Thinking like this, the prince quickly put this idea behind him.

The king of Chun'an County didn't ask any more questions, he just took a serious look at the steward before playing the piano again.

Knowing things, there are a lot of literati and scholars who came to the county prince's mansion today, and there are a few unruly ones. I heard that there are so many young ladies in the Yuzhen Nuguanguan. . His Royal Highness, the Prince of the County, kept himself clean, so he naturally didn't want to see the guests behave like wild people.

Your Highness is asking him to take precautions in advance in the mansion so that no one will be rude to the female guests who are watching. The steward nodded and went down to make arrangements on his own.

***

In the peach forest, the girls are swinging on the swings, drinking tea, fighting flowers... having a great time. After a while, girls left the table one after another to clean the room.

Teng Yuyi and Liu Siniang were fighting vigorously. Seeing that Du Tinglan was about to leave the table, she waved her hand at Liu Siniang and said, "Oh, I don't want to play anymore. Let's play something else when you come back."

While talking, she smiled and put down the flower branch, and raised her skirt to catch up with Du Tinglan.

Du Tinglan took out the handkerchief and handed it to Teng Yuyi: "Look at you, you're sweating even after fighting flowers."

Teng Yuyi wiped off her sweat, and took Du Tinglan's arm to look at the two ginkgo trees. Unfortunately, once she got back under the tree, her vision was limited again, so she couldn't see anything.

Du Tinglan followed her sister's gaze: "What are you looking at?"

"Sister, do you feel that those two ginkgo trees are a bit like the two 'guards' guarding this Taoist temple?"

Du Tinglan looked ahead suspiciously. The ginkgo tree was old for many years, and it was entrenched in the east and the west. When the wind blows, even the sound of the leaves is more stable than other trees.

"Lan Ruo and Taoist temples have always loved planting ginkgo trees, what's wrong with that?" She laughed.

Teng Yuyi: "If there is no peach forest in the middle, ginkgo is nothing special, but look, sister, the distance between the two ginkgo trees and the peach forest is exactly the same. Does it look like the one in the hexagram? 'Yang Yao' was split into a 'Yin Yao' by the peach forest? Looking at the peach forest again, the flowers and trees are so densely planted, the flowers on the branches are closely connected, and they are planted in rows, layer upon layer. It’s a bit like a natural Yang Yao line. The two ends of the forest are Yin Yao, and the peach trees in the middle are Yang Yao. .”

Du Tinglan was surprised for a moment, remembering the rumors about this Taoist temple mentioned by the little ladies just now, she couldn't help but become serious, looked at the direction of the ginkgo tree and the peach forest, and then turned her head to look at the direction behind her: "If it's too big Hexagram, the south entrance should have the same two yin lines, but when we entered the temple just now, we didn’t seem to see a ginkgo tree at the gate.”

Teng Yuyi said: "There are no ginkgo trees planted inside the gate, but sister, don't forget that there are two extremely tall rockeries on both sides of the gate, and towering pines and cypresses are planted in front of the rockery. Looking at each other from a distance, in this way, don't they happen to be the two Yin lines in the south?"

Du Tinglan had a vague impression in her mind, but she didn't remember it as well as her younger sister. She said with a helpless smile: "Sister, I can't remember clearly. You have a small brain, and you like to think about these weird things."

Teng Yuyi didn't want to think about it, but as long as she thought that the man in black hadn't shown his true colors, she couldn't let go of her guard. No matter where she went, she would habitually observe the surrounding situation first.

Du Tinglan looked around: "Princess Yuzhen invited so many capable people and strangers to build this temple. It is normal that there are mysteries everywhere in the temple. Well, I think that the mechanism of Guanzhong will not be placed on the bright side. Those strangers deliberately made such a big mistake for others to see, maybe it is for the purpose of paralysis. Perhaps the real mystery of Guanzhong is hidden in another somewhere else."

Teng Yuyi nodded, this makes sense. It is said that Princess Yuzhen likes to study Qimen Dunjia. The original intention of building this Taoist temple is to have a shelter in case of changes in Beijing. Since the princess has gathered hundreds of capable people to help make suggestions, how can she only arrange such a simple layout.

But she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although Yuzhennv Guanguan has been famous for a long time, it does not occupy a very large area. It would be too wasteful to plant such a large peach forest just to paralyze tourists.

According to her, this layout should have other deep meanings.

Du Tinglan went in to burn incense and change clothes while talking. Teng Yuyi took a closer look at the layout and started walking around. Suddenly, I heard a few partridges from the wall not far away, knowing that Duanfu had come in, and thinking that Duanfu would follow me no matter where I went, I felt more relieved.

Walking for a while, I saw a rockery on the side of the road. Next to the rockery was a moon window, and a few stalks of green bamboo protruded from the window. The surrounding was quiet, and there was no one walking around. Teng Yuyi secretly guessed that there was another world behind, so he walked over slowly.

Since she has practiced martial arts, she has only learned internal energy when she was practicing Peach Blossom Sword Art. Others, such as the Kee Sword Art taught by Cheng Bo, and Wu Dao only taught half of the Phi Brown Sword Art. mentality.

Therefore, every time she uses her internal strength, she will subconsciously use the peach blossom sword technique.

What is "the heart does not move, the wind comes and does not go"...

What is "the left foot is yin, the right foot is yang"...

She has already memorized the mental methods (Note 1) taught to her by Lin Chengyou very well. In addition, she has practiced during this period of time when she has free time, so that her inner strength is much more proficient than when she was a beginner. There were flowers and leaves all over the ground, but there was no movement at all.

Teng Yuyi thought it was very fun, and became more and more focused on luck. Suddenly, she remembered that when Duan Fu taught her melee combat two days ago, he also started to teach her inner strength and mental skills at the same time. However, after only two moves, Duan Fu's expression changed Feeling strange, he asked her what kind of martial arts she had practiced in Caifeng Tower, as if there was something wrong with the true energy in her body.

She was stunned at the time, but since she came back from Caifeng Tower, her body has changed. When she sleeps at night, her feet are no longer cold, not to mention, even drinking Guishui does not hurt, and her whole body is warm. Cheerful, with endless energy all day long.

But this is not surprising, not only has she learned Peach Blossom Sword Art, but she has also drank Huoyu Linggen Soup. It is said that this soup can increase internal strength for seven to eight years. thing said.

Duan Fu didn't ask any further questions, but the doubt on his face didn't seem to ease.

Teng Yuyi was thinking about Duanfu's expression at that time, and walked out of the moon cave window without a sound, and suddenly heard someone whispering behind the window, obviously there was someone behind the wall. The man probably didn't hear her footsteps, and there was no intention of interrupting the conversation.

Teng Yuyi wanted to leave, but when he heard the voices were Peng Huayue and his sisters, his footsteps stopped suddenly. His grandfather was assassinated in his previous life, and the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely Peng Zhen, although the daughter may not know what happened to the father , but from the mouths of Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu, they might hear something.

Teng Yuyi quickly looked around, held her breath and hid behind the rockery.

"Sister, what are you stopping me for?" It was Peng Jinxiu's voice.

Peng Huayue didn't answer at first, as if to reconfirm that there was no one around, after a while, she heard her deep voice: "I'm stopping you from doing stupid things."

Peng Jinxiu stammered: "I, I have no plans to do anything."

"Didn't plan to do anything?! That's the west wall. You put away all the people around you and wander here alone with the paper kite. Are you planning to put the paper kite away when the wind is strong, and then pretend to be careless?" Let the paper kite fall into the Prince's Mansion of Chun'an County?"

"Nonsense." Peng Jinxiu said with embarrassment in his voice, "I didn't think so."

"Last night you suddenly asked Xing'er to find paper kites for you. My sister already felt that something was wrong. I didn't see you want to release paper kites in the past few outings. Why did you let them go when you came to Yuzhen Nuguanguan?" Just now, I just came to the clean room to stay here alone. I don’t know what kind of thoughts I really looked at my sister? I remember that every time my grandfather and the others talked about Chang’an, you always inquired about the Chun’an County King intentionally or unintentionally News, last time at Le Dao Villa, you secretly sent someone to deliver something to His Royal Highness. Tell my sister, when did you miss His Royal Highness?"

Peng Jinxiu murmured for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "Sister, why do you even care about this? I'm old too, so can't I make up my own mind?"

Peng Huayue interrupted her younger sister: "Anyone else can do it, but His Royal Highness Duke Dudu cannot."

"Why?!" Peng Jinxiu seemed surprised and angry, "His Royal Highness, he is a fairy-like figure, and there are countless young ladies in the world who want to marry him. Sister, do you still remember that we married him three years ago?" When I returned to Chang'an with my father and mother, I happened to meet His Royal Highness outside the Yanxing Gate. It was mid-winter, and there was heavy snow falling. His Royal Highness came back from the suburbs with his servants on horseback. Hearing Grandpa calling him, His Highness was at the Reining in the snow and turning around, that time I will—to be honest, I have made up my mind a long time ago that I will not marry unless you are the king of the county in this life."

Peng Huayue burst out laughing: "You are so young, you are not afraid of being laughed at when you say these words. I advise you not to waste your time, mother and father will never agree to you marrying His Royal Highness."

"Why?" Peng Jinxiu's voice suddenly raised a bit.

"Keep your voice down. You know how to play all day long, don't you really understand why?"

"I don't understand! I only know His Royal Highness Zhilan Yushu, who is famous in ancient and modern times. I have never seen a better man than him. I, I, I, I, I am afraid that His Highness will not look down on me."

"Think about it, His Royal Highness is 21 or 20 years old this year, why hasn't he decided on a marriage? Don't forget, His Highness's biological mother passed away four or five years ago, so he no longer needs to be filial."

Teng Yuyi pricked up her ears. When her aunt talked about this last time, her expression was a little unnatural. Unfortunately, before she could ask her clearly, her aunt changed the subject calmly.

Peng Jinxiu said: "Your Highness doesn't want to make a marriage casually, what's wrong with that? Doesn't this just prove that His Highness the Prince of the County has the utmost affection and nature?"

There were sudden footsteps behind the wall, and one of them seemed to be leaving.

"Sister, don't leave! If you don't understand what you said today, don't even think about leaving."

The footsteps stopped again, and Peng Huayue sighed: "Forget it, let me explain it to you, so that you won't do anything stupid later. You should know that the birth mother of His Royal Highness Cui Shi Well, she was under house arrest for many years before she was alive, and the concubine of a dignified prince has fallen into such a situation, you can think about the reason."

"It's nothing more than Cui's doing something bad, but what does this have to do with His Royal Highness?"

"Cui Shi conspired with her natal lover to frame the eldest son before the accident. Everyone in Chang'an knows how to love his second son, Min Lang, but after Cui's accident, Old Lan King became much colder towards Min Lang, and people said that it is difficult to say whether Min Lang is Lao Lan King's own flesh and blood..."

Teng Yuyi's ears exploded.

Peng Jinxiu was obviously also shocked: "You talk nonsense!"

"Okay, I'm talking nonsense. But think about it, when these famous officials in Beijing choose marriages for their daughters, why have they never considered His Royal Highness? Zheng Pushe would rather choose Lu Jinshi who came from a poor family than There is no intention of getting married to the county prince's mansion. His Royal Highness Prince Li has a high status, and he has reached the age to discuss marriage. After all, it is not because everyone is suspicious of what happened back then. His Royal Highness is like his own flesh and blood, in order to suppress those gossips, the sage even gave His Royal Highness a mansion early on, but this cannot dispel people's suspicion."

It was quiet behind the wall for a while, and when Peng Jinxiu spoke again, her voice trembled a little: "Ridiculous! Extremely ridiculous! Are these people crazy? They dare to spread such groundless talk. Besides, why should I believe rumors that even saints and king Cheng don't believe?"

"Heh, 'All talk makes money, and Zeng participated in killing people'. Although rumors are extremely dirty, they are the most hurtful weapon in the world. Isn't this not even the imperial power? What's more, this rumor is not It's totally unbelievable, look at the appearance of His Royal Highness, doesn't he look like his elder brother Lin Xiao at all?"

"Maybe His Royal Highness looks like his aunt? Sister, why don't you take a look at yourself. Although you and I are twins, we are not exactly the same in appearance."

"Why are you yelling at me? Sister told you this, it's not for your own good. Just wait, Yunyin Academy will reopen in a few days. Among the children of the royal family, the oldest It's His Royal Highness, this year even the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng have reached the age of discussing marriage. When the time comes, do you see that those female students in the courtyard, especially those with more prestigious backgrounds, are thinking of only hitting on the Prince and Prince Cheng? The reason for this, you can figure it out here yourself!"

Footsteps sounded again, and they were fast and anxious. It seemed that Peng Huayue really left this time, and Peng Jinxiu stayed where she was, as if she was still angry. After a while, I finally couldn't help stamping my feet, and left in a hurry.

Teng Yuyi made sure that there was no one else around, so she quietly came out from behind the rockery, knowing that sister must have been looking for her, but Duan Fu probably stopped her quietly, so she hurried back along the original road, but her ears The words of the Peng sisters kept echoing.

It turns out that the Chun'an County King is carrying such unbearable rumors... I remember that His Highness the County King in the previous life has never been engaged, is it because of this reason?

She has never dealt with Cheng Wang Lin Xiao before, but judging from Lin Chengyou's attitude, she obviously didn't take this rumor to heart, otherwise she wouldn't be as close to Chun'an County King, and she would call "Uncle Huang" at every turn. "Hang on.

Judging from the conversation between the Peng sisters just now, Peng Huayue tried hard to persuade her sister to let go of her thoughts about His Royal Highness, but she also vaguely revealed that she was not the prince and the son of Prince Cheng and would not marry. The two sisters were so anxious to plan a marriage. , it seems that he doesn't know that his grandfather is planning to rebel.

Thinking about going around the rockery, she saw Du Tinglan anxiously looking around in front of the small courtyard.

Teng Yuyi was afraid of arousing the doubts of others, so she deliberately circled along the stone steps of Qingquan, and finally walked quickly towards Du Tinglan through the flowers.

Du Tinglan breathed a sigh of relief: "Where did you go? I wanted to find you, but I saw Duanfu winking at me over there."

"I'm curious about the mechanism in the temple, so I went over there to have a look." Teng Yuyi took Du Tinglan's arm and said in a low voice, "It's just a coincidence that I ran into the sisters of the Peng family arguing."

Du Tinglan was a little curious: "Did the two of them quarrel?"

"It wasn't too noisy, but there were a few words." She didn't bother to spread those unbearable rumors.

Du Tinglan never likes to inquire into other people's privacy, so she didn't ask any more questions, just looked up at the sky: "It's almost noon, just now I saw a lot of women crowned people carrying food boxes to the direction of Yunhui Hall I guess it's almost time to start..."

Just walking back to Taolin, Li Huaigu, Wu Qi and others came from the forest, saw them and said with a smile: "I'm looking for you guys, the feast is about to start, the vegetarian meal of Yuzhennv Guanguan is famous far and wide , if you don’t come back again, be careful that the food and drink on the table will be eaten up by us. Hey, where are Aunt Peng and Erniang Peng?”

Teng Yuyi was surprised that Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu had left earlier than her, so they should have returned to Taolin long ago.

"Did you go to another place to enjoy the scenery?"

Wu Qi didn't take it seriously: "I'll let the maidservants go find it."

The ladies walked together, talking and laughing as they headed towards the Yun Hall, but they didn't go far when the sky suddenly brightened, and before everyone understood what was going on, there was a loud explosion above their heads.

The voice was astonishingly loud, as if it could shatter people's hearts and souls in an instant. Several timid ladies screamed in shock on the spot. Although the rest did not scream, their complexions also changed. .

Du Tinglan was so frightened that she pulled Teng Yuyi to her side. Teng Yuyi stared at the sky. Wu Qi was the most courageous. I saw thunder on a sunny day."

After the thunderstorm rolled over, the sky quickly returned to normal. The girls stood quietly for a while, and gradually relaxed again.

But the uneasiness in Teng Yuyi's heart became more and more intense, as if in order to fulfill her premonition, before she took another step, the Xiaoya sword in her sleeve became hot.

Teng Yuyi's heart jumped wildly, and he hurriedly said to everyone: "There is something wrong with this place, hurry up."

As he said, he dragged Du Tinglan and ran forward. Before everyone could react, they saw a group of women crowned women hurriedly walking outside the courtyard, and the leader was the abbot.

The abbot seemed to be alarmed by the strange thunder, and he didn't care about Feng Yi, and shouted at them from a long distance: "There is something wrong with the sky, Tanyue and others, follow the poor and leave quickly."

As soon as these words came out, a blind wind and strange rain suddenly blew up around. Rubbing off the raindrops on the eyelashes and opening his eyes, the female crowns on the opposite side had long since disappeared.

The girls screamed again, and ran out of the courtyard in a panic, but as they ran, the bricks under their feet suddenly turned into grass, and they hurriedly looked around, only to find that they had run back into the peach blossom forest.

At this time, even Wu Qi was scared out of her wits, and she hugged the female companions around her in a panic: "Why are you back again? Where is the abbot? Why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

Du Tinglan tremblingly said: "What's going on?"

Teng Yuyi's heart was beating wildly in her chest, she is now very sure that evil spirits are coming around, no matter what it is, she has to leave this weird peach forest as soon as possible, but she didn't wait for her to calm down and think As a countermeasure, the Xuanyin bell on her wrist rang, and it sounded urgently and fiercely, as if it would explode on her wrist.

Teng Yu's hair stood on end, even when the corpse came, the Xuanyin bell didn't ring so fiercely, the corpse is evil enough, is there anything more terrifying than the corpse?

All the girls were frightened out of their wits. When they heard the untimely sound of the bell, they couldn't help shivering: "Whose bell? Don't let it make it loud, it's scary."

Li Huaigu looked around with a pale face, and when his gaze passed Teng Yuyi's side, he paused: "It seems, it seems to be on Lady Teng."

Duan Qingying said with a crying voice: "Don't care about the bells or not, what's wrong with you all, what are you doing in a daze, let's go quickly."

When the little ladies were reminded by these words, they dragged each other and ran towards the outside of the forest.

Zheng Shuangyin hurried forward to stop everyone: "No, something is wrong with this peach forest, let's stop wandering around. Don't forget, we couldn't run out just now."

She barely maintained her composure, but her face was extremely ugly.

"That's right, this, this seems to be called a ghost hitting a wall."

"Then what should we do?" The girls stopped, and some began to cry.

Teng Yuyi turned her head to distinguish the surroundings. The more dangerous she was, the more she was able to make quick decisions. In her opinion, peach trees were still those peach trees, and ginkgo trees were still ginkgo trees. It seems to be a little different from before. I was trying to find out the direction, and suddenly there was a clear voice from behind: "Everyone, Tanyue, may I ask where the abbot is?"

When the girls turned their heads, they saw a gentle monk standing not far away. He was kind-hearted, tall and tall, and his face was as white as a gourd. He was about forty years old.

"That's right, this, this seems to be called a ghost hitting a wall."

"Then what should we do?" The girls had to stop, and some of them began to cry.

Teng Yuyi turned her head to distinguish her surroundings. The more dangerous she was, the more she was able to make quick decisions. From her point of view, the peach trees around were still those peach trees, and the ginkgo trees outside the forest were still the same ginkgo trees, but For some reason, everything around her seemed to be different from before. She tried her best to identify the location and figure out the difference, but at this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Dear Tanyue, may I ask where the abbot is? ?”

When the girls turned their heads, they saw a gentle monk standing not far away. He was kind-hearted, tall and tall, and his face was as white as a gourd. He was about forty years old.

The sudden appearance of a big monk made the girls feel weird, but Yuzhen Nuguan temple is famous far and wide, and monks from other places often come to visit. When the monk broke in by accident, he replied in panic: "We don't know where the abbot has gone."

Wu Qi looked at the monk cautiously: "Monk, when did you come in? Did you hear that strange thunder?"

The monk held a palm leaf fan in his left hand and a copper bowl in his right, and said with a smile: "The poor monk was forced to come in to hide from the rain because he encountered lightning and thunder when he passed by the gate of the temple. I came here just now, I just asked the Tanyue people about the abbot, and I also wanted to ask the temple for a drink."

The girls saw that there were a lot of bean-sized raindrops on his cassock, and it was because he accidentally broke in to avoid the rain, and then heard him speak politely, and their doubts were relieved. "It just made them feel suspicious and uneasy, and with the company of such a benevolent mage, even their sense of fear seemed to be relieved a lot.

Wu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and sincerely said to the monk: "To tell you the truth, we have lost our way here. Since the Master was able to walk into the peach forest, he must have accidentally broken this mechanism. Then, please follow the instructions Take us out the same way."

The monk smiled like a Buddha, looked around and said: "So that's the case. The poor monk remembers coming from here, Tanyue and others follow the poor monk."

Du Tinglan tugged Teng Yuyi to keep up, but she didn't move all of a sudden. Looking back in surprise, she saw her younger sister staring at the monk's back, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Du Tinglan's heart shrank: "What's wrong?"

Teng Yuyi raised her hand nervously, motioning Du Tinglan to look at the string of ringing bells on her wrist, and then said four words silently to Du Tinglan: it is an evil thing.

Du Tinglan's scalp exploded, she was also suspicious before, but the appearance of this monk is really not reminiscent of evil spirits, but my sister's bell is a thing of Qingyun, and she will never give a warning indiscriminately.

Seeing that all the female companions followed, Du Tinglan was startled and anxious, clenched Teng Yuyi's hand tightly, and silently said: "Then what should I do?"

Teng Yuyi tried her best to stabilize her mind, no matter what, she had to figure out the origin of this monk first, so she tapped Xiaoya sword secretly with her fingers, signaling the little old man to come out quickly.

This time, Xiaoya's reaction was surprisingly fast. Almost at the same time as she knocked on the hilt, there was movement in the sleeve cage. Soon, Teng Yuyi felt a small person stand up on her arm, which was strange to Xiaoya. As soon as she came out, her sleeves also began to shake slightly.

Teng Yuyi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that Xiaoya's legs were shaking.

This horrified her inexplicably. When the corpse evil came last time, although Xiaoya acted very disrespectful, he did not lose his composure. This time he was so frightened.

In just a moment, Xiao Ya quickly wrote something on her arm, Teng Yuyi focused on distinguishing, and realized that what Xiao Ya wrote was: It's over, it's over, it's tolerance.

The little old man tremblingly finished writing these words on Teng Yuyi's arm, and there was no movement in his sleeve. Obviously after completing the task, he quickly fled back to the sword.

Teng Yuyi was dumbfounded, hey, you should explain to me clearly before leaving. What is "resistance"? And why do you say "it's over"?

But no matter how she fiddled with the little sword, Xiaoya couldn't survive. She had no choice but to look up at the monk's back. The monk had led the girls for a short distance, and the exit was still missing.

Teng Yuyi's mind was in such a mess, if she didn't figure out the details of the other party, she would only make them die faster.

Tolerance to heavy weight, what is tolerable to heavy weight?

Is it a ghost, a demon, or a demon?

If Xiaoya is afraid of being like this, he will definitely not be an unknown junior.

Teng Yuyi searched her brains, vaguely remembered where she had seen these two words, and suddenly remembered that sister often read Buddhist allusions, so she might know the origin of these two words, so she hurriedly wiped off her sweat, and whispered to Du Tinglan: " Sister, have you heard of 'resistance to weight'?"

Du Tinglan paused for a moment, as if she was digesting Teng Yuyi's words, then she understood the meaning of the words, and her complexion turned pale in an instant,

She hurriedly whispered in Teng Yuyi's ear, "Yes, it is a kind of Buddhist evil spirit."

Teng Yuyi's breathing became a little heavy again, no wonder it sounded familiar, she remembered that she had seen puppets inscribed with the word "Heavy Weight" several times in the night market in previous years when she was at the Lantern Festival in Yangzhou Yulan Basin Festival .

This kind of puppet is often much taller and stronger than other objects, its eyes are shining like lightning, and its teeth are as sharp as halberd knives. It's kind of cool. Under its feet, there are often all kinds of weird ghosts crawling. Even the Yaksha (Note 2), which is listed as one of the "Eight Dragons" in Buddhism, also makes a gesture of surrender to Naizhong.

If you see such a puppet by chance at the Lantern Festival, you will definitely be impressed, because this heavy-duty puppet has a blue yaksha on its left foot and a red yaksha on its right foot. can't forget.

However, the more she recalled the appearance of the puppet, the more doubts Teng Yuyi felt in her heart. First of all, she couldn't connect the decent and clean monk in front of her with the king of ghosts in Buddhist legends. Well, why is it so troublesome to harm others, you can swallow them all in just one mouthful.

She opened her eyes wide, holding the last trace of luck, and looked at the monk from head to toe several times. When she saw the soles of the monk's shoes, the last trace of luck in her heart suddenly disappeared.

Do you want to dismantle it immediately? She thought nervously, no, it turned into a benevolent monk and led them around in the forest, it must be thinking of something. Suddenly he thought of the tricks that the corpse evil used to play tricks on people. Could it be that this ghost also has some weird hobbies like the corpse evil. Before thinking about how to deal with it, if you expose it rashly, it will only arouse its ferocity.

All the girls followed the great monk for a while, and gradually felt something was wrong, Zheng Shuangyin asked cautiously: "Dare to ask the mage, is the exit at the front?"

The monk stopped and looked back, the smile on his face was still warm: "The poor monk is also a little confused, I remember that it is on the east side, Tanyue, which side is the east side?"

This question is easy to answer, even if you are trapped in the peach forest, you can see the Yunhui Hall in the south just by tiptoeing a little.

Just as Zheng Shuangyin was about to answer, Teng Yuyi's heart jumped up, and she took the first step and said, "Dare to ask the Venerable Master's Dharma name—"

The monk put his hands together with a smile, and loudly proclaimed a Buddha's name: "Amitabha! The poor monk's name is hidden."

"It turned out to be the mage Cangji." Teng Yuyi squeezed out a smile, "I know where the east is, as long as I help the mage to identify the direction, can the mage lead us out of the forest?"

Monk Zangji said with a smile: "Tan Yue has to tell me where the east is, so that the poor monk will know how to go."

Teng Yuyi is not reluctant: "I tell the mage what is the east, and the mage has to lead us out."

Monk Zangji's smile deepened, but he didn't answer any more.

Duan Qingying and the others are determined to get out of this ghost place, and now they have put all their hopes on the great monk, but Teng Yuyi jumped out halfway and said some inexplicable words, which seemed to annoy the great monk, so she glared at Teng Yuyi , took the initiative to speak: "The east is——"

"Shut up!" Teng Yuyi shouted in a low voice.

Duan Qingying was stunned for a moment, staring at Teng Yuyi angrily: "You—"

Unexpectedly, Zheng Shuangyin and Wu Qi both shouted: "Qingying, don't talk!"

The two became suspicious early on. The monk appeared in the forest for no reason, but the abbot and others were still missing. When Teng Yuyi was talking to the monk just now, he stared at the soles of the monk's shoes to clearly imply something. Several pieces of the clothes were wet, and the straw shoes were also covered with mud, but the edges and soles of the shoes were spotless.

The two of them vaguely guessed that this monk might not be a kind person, and their hearts suddenly fluttered. Du Tinglan walked up to Li Huaigu in a hurry, covered Duan Qingying's mouth and said in a trembling voice: "Master is asking the way, which round?" Until you interrupt?!""

Du Tinglan has always been lenient and courteous, so it is not uncommon for her to be so rude, now not only Duan Qingying was stunned, but the other ladies finally realized that something was wrong.

Looking at Monk Zangji, Teng Yuyi deliberately spoke very slowly: "Master just said, 'The exit is on the east side'. So as long as you tell where the east side is, we can leave, isn't that right? "

Monk Zangji slapped his cattail fan twice, and said with a smile: "That's right, when the poor monk came in from the entrance, he passed through several rows of peach trees on the outside, and I remember passing the seventh one. Just find the seventh plant in the east and you can go out."

Teng Yuyi smiled: "Since the mage is right, I will try to guess."

She raised her hand and pointed behind Monk Zangji: "Here, that's the east side."

Monk Zangji's cattail fan paused.

The girls were taken aback for a moment, it was clearly the south side.

The complexions of Zheng Shuangyin and Du Tinglan changed a few times, especially Zheng Shuangyin, who broke out in a cold sweat instantly. I heard that the Yuzhen Nuguan Temple was built to deal with thunder and disasters, and the reaction to thunder and lightning has always been more sensitive than other places. Most likely it was the thunderstorm just now that activated the secret room mechanism in the view.

She looked around again, and there was a subtle change in the forest pattern. Thinking back to the situation just now, it would be hard to imagine what would happen if she rashly accepted the evil monk's questioning. She felt grateful and secretly glanced at Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi's mind was full of the word "escape", so he took Du Tinglan's arm and walked out of the forest: "Thank you for the guidance, Master. Seven peach trees, right? It seems that the exit is not far away."

Wu Qi and the others didn't dare to look at the smiling monk again, they hurriedly followed Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan.

The exit to the east was quickly found, but Teng Yuyi and the others were dumbfounded. Eight rows of peach trees were planted on the outer periphery of the east.

The monk shook his cattail fan and approached with a smile: "The poor monk has traveled a long distance when he came, and he is a little tired and dazzled. He can't remember which row it is at the moment, or the Tanyue people can choose by themselves. The poor monk walked around the tree. Walk around three times, if you can't choose, you have to take Tanyue to rest on the ground."

There is a row of peach trees on his left and right, and there are exactly seven peach trees planted in each. stroll.

Cold sweat broke out on Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan's foreheads. Looking at it like this, if they can't be selected within three rounds, they are bound to die, but if they choose the wrong one in a hurry, they will still be "dead".

Zheng Shuangyin and Wu Qi also realized the seriousness of the situation, and racked their brains to think of countermeasures. Although the rest of the little ladies dared not speak, they all opened their eyes and compared the two rows of peach trees carefully.

"Seven...seven..." Teng Yuyi repeated silently in her heart. Although the elder sister laughed at her for being too superficial, no matter how she looked at it, Taolin was like a square and square hexagram. In the lines of the Gua Gua, there are "sixth day", "ninth third" and "ninth fourth", but there is no "seventh".

She asked Du Tinglan in a low voice: "Which line of the hexagram image implies 'seven'?"

Du Tinglan was busy recalling the conversation between the sisters, when she heard the words, she was taken aback and said: "I remember that there is no line of the hexagram image that contains the number 'seven'."

But Zheng Shuangyin suddenly said: "There is a saying in Fu Gua called 'repeat the way, and come back in seven days'. Taoism believes that all things in the world are cycled by the number 'seven'."

When several people were discussing in low voices, the monk had already walked around the tree for a half a circle. Teng Yuyi held her breath and thought, no, no matter how precise the hexagram is, it is impossible to make a large gap between two rows of trees so close. Variety.

She looked back and saw that the two towering ginkgo trees had already reached the so-called "west side", but no matter how the position changed, the diagonal formed by the two ginkgo trees and the peach trees would never change.

So I tried to take a few steps back, facing the eight rows of peach trees on the opposite side, and counting them row by row. There are nine peach trees planted in the first row on the right hand side, and six in the second row... to the eighth row. row, but only four.

Her heart suddenly brightened.

At this moment, the monk had started to walk around the tree for the third time, and seeing that there was only half a circle left, Teng Yuyi whispered to everyone: "Follow me".

He grabbed Du Tinglan and ran straight to the monk's right hand side. While running, he raised his voice and said, "I was blind just now, the seventh plant is here."

The steps under the monk's feet stopped.

Teng Yuyi ran with her head buried in her head while secretly counting from the corner of her eye. When she reached the seventh peach tree, a sudden change occurred in front of her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, they ran back to the door of Yunhui Hall.

All the girls panted and looked around, there was no one in front of the Yunhui Hall, but they could vaguely hear the voices of the female champions in the hall.

"I searched along the organ, but there was still no sign of a girl, there must be something evil..."

"It seems that His Royal Highness can only be alarmed. There are many capable people around him, and he will definitely be able to figure out what's going on. Hurry up and deliver the letter next door." This is the worried voice of the abbot.

The girls survived the catastrophe, their eyes felt hot, their legs moved, and they ran towards the Yun Hall. However, they didn't run very far, and accidentally saw the monk in front of them, and they stopped in surprise.

Teng Yuyi panted and stared at the monk, knowing that it would not let it go. But at least they ran out, and they didn't have to scream every day like they did when they were trapped in the maze.

She hurriedly shouted: "Abbot!"

The girls also called for help: "We are here."

There was a silence in the Yun Hall, followed by the sound of messy footsteps.

The monk shook his cattail fan lightly: "My Buddha is merciful, but the poor monk is thirsty. The poor monk kindly led you out of the forest, and the Tanyue people didn't help the poor monk ask for a glass of water before leaving. Isn't it justified? Everything is about fate, just now The poor monk heard bells ringing in the forest, the bells were lively, making people happy, and I don't know which Tan Yue belonged to, or let this Tan Yue beg for a glass of water for the poor monk."

Teng Yuyi sneered, there are so many tricks.

Du Tinglan and Zheng Shuangyin: "Don't answer it!"

Everyone immediately realized that this question could never be answered, knowing that it was Teng Yuyi's object, but no one said a word, but Li Huaigu seemed to be frightened, his lips were tightly closed, but his eyes slipped towards Teng Yuyi in a panic .

Before Teng Yuyi realized what was going on, a strong force came from behind and dragged her back into the forest.

***

When Lin Chengyou got off his horse in front of the gate of the Yuzhen Nuguan Temple, there was a lot of chaos in the temple.

When the abbot saw Lin Chengyou, he seemed to have seen a savior. He ran over in three steps at a time, grabbed Lin Chengyou's sleeve and said, "My lord, save people quickly, that evil thing is very good. I don't dare to speak nonsense." , but it looks like a heavy-duty style."

Du Tinglan's hair was in a mess, and her face was covered with snot and tears. She separated from the crowd and ran to Lin Chengyou. When she opened her mouth, her voice was as hoarse as a huqin: "My sister was taken away by that monk. I'm afraid there may be more or less bad luck. Please think about it quickly." The method—”

She was in a turmoil, her face was as white as paper, she knelt down with a plop as she spoke, Zheng Shuangyin and Li Huaigu held Du Tinglan with tears in their eyes.

The two wanted to tell Lin Chengyou what happened just now, but when they looked up, they realized that Lin Chengyou's face was also very ugly, and before they could speak, he quickly took two steps back in front of the hall, raised his head left and right Gu, whistled.

Hearing two beast cries of "Aooooooow" from outside the audience, everyone was startled.

Lin Chengyou heard Ying Lingshi in his arms arguing endlessly, and he was already very anxious, and before the people and beasts behind could rush over, he lifted his robe up the beam of the room.

The abbot held up a booklet, and looked up at the graphite-colored figure that flashed by: "Little prince, the Guanzhong mechanism has been activated, take the formation map, so as not to be confused."

"No need." Lin Chengyou's anxious voice came from afar, and it seemed that he had already reached the garden.

People came to the door again, but this time they were two old Taoist priests, Jian Tian and Jian Xi turned their heads nervously as soon as they entered: "Where is your son?"

The abbot pointed upwards: "Go up."

I saw two figures passing by, and two old Taoist priests also jumped onto the beam, but after a while, I heard them screaming strangely on the beam: "Oh, why is this place like a maze? Turning around will make people dizzy, Mrs. Jingchen, have you activated the baby puzzle in your view? Quickly tell Pindao how to get there!"

***

Teng Yuyi grasped the Xiaoya sword tightly to distinguish the direction. Just now the monk used a demon to arrest her. She thought she was back in the Taolin, but when she landed, there were narrow and long stone walls on both sides. Just a wall lamp was burning, and the slightly swaying flames reflected the corridor in front of me in an extraordinarily eerie way.

What the **** is this place? She wondered, she had roughly touched the layout of the temple before, and she had never seen this kind of furnishings, could it be the underground palace of Yuzhennvguan Temple?

It is possible. Teng Yuyi listened intently, but she didn't hear any sound. Even the bell, which had been noisy just now, seemed to lose half of its strength, and the sound became weaker.

Teng Yuyi reckoned that Naizhong might not be nearby, so she used all her internal energy and tiptoed forward. Naizhong is so supernatural that even if she doesn't move, she can't escape its eyes. It's better to touch around before it comes to trouble her. If you touch it, if you are lucky, you may be able to touch the door of life soon.

As she fumbled for the wall tiles, she walked forward quietly along the corridor. Seeing that she was almost at the corner, and everything was going well, she was hesitating whether to turn right or left, when the bell suddenly made a noise.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden "squeak" at the corner on the right, as if someone had pushed the door and entered at the end of the road. Then Teng Yuyi heard the unhurried footsteps and the shaking of the broken cattail fan.

That thing is at it again!

Teng Yuyi's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she would only be caught by Naizhong if she went forward, so she had to retreat along the original road, but after only a few steps, her back was blocked by a wall.

She looked back in fright, just now she clearly—

No, how can such a long corridor be shortened all of a sudden? !

It was too late to figure it out, so she raised her arms and quickly groped the walls on both sides. The sound is getting closer.

Damn it! The speed of heavy walking was much faster than she imagined.

Teng Yuyi's ears were buzzing, and her stomach was sour. She was so anxious that she wanted to jump her feet, and fumbled her hands frantically. Seeing that the smiling monk was about to appear in front of her again at a corner, she gasped and suddenly I felt that the wall on the right was sinking, and someone was dragged into the wall at once.

Teng Yuyi accidentally bumped into a man's arms, and was so frightened that he was so frightened that he didn't have time to think about the familiar aura of this man. To defend herself, the man suddenly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "It's me."
