Chapter 66
According to the arrangement of the abbot Yuanjue, Du Tinglan was originally going to be sent back to Teng Mansion or Du Mansion, but because Du Tinglan insisted on staying with Teng Yuyi in the temple for one night, even she went to Dayin Temple together at the end.
The Dayin Temple occupies a vast area, about four times the size of Yuzhen Nuguan Guanguan. The Jingshe in the backyard is divided into an east wing and a west wing. The east wing is for female guests and the west wing is for male pilgrims. The Buddha Hall, Incense Hall, Stupa, Cloud Hall, etc… are facing each other without disturbing each other.
On the east wing, there were originally four shrines, but the roof of Quanfang Pavilion leaked a while ago, and Mengliangxuan was a little old. These two places are now being repaired. Only Xuanpu Pavilion and Libaixuan are available for female guests. live.
The monk Mingxin in the temple has always been in charge of arranging accommodation. After listening to the abbot’s arrangement, he led Teng Yuyi and others to the entrance of Xuanpu Pavilion.
“The east wing of Xuanpu Pavilion is always ready for the queen to come to pay homage to the Buddha. For the time being, only the west wing can be accommodated. Now we have built two suites. As for Li Baixuan, this pavilion is behind Xuanpu Pavilion, and the environment is better. Be more secluded… Tanyue people can discuss with each other how to live.”
Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu hurriedly said, “Master, let’s live in Xuanpu Pavilion.”
As soon as Teng Yuyi heard it, she knew how the Peng sisters were thinking. Xuanpu Pavilion is not only full of sunshine, but it is also closer to the Buddhist temple. However, this is exactly what she said. She heard the bad news of grandpa in Xuanpu Pavilion in her previous life. This time, although she lived in Dayin Temple again by accident, she never wanted to step into Xuanpu Pavilion again, so she pushed the boat along the way: “Then I will live in Libaixuan.”
Li Huaigu asked Mingxin, “Dare to ask the Master, how many rooms does Li Baixuan have?”
It seems that he wants to live in the same house with Teng Yuyi.
Ming Xin said: “This house was renovated from a corner of the garden, with a narrow area and only one suite.”
Li Huaigu had no choice but to laugh: “Alright, then I’ll live next door to Aunt Peng and Erniang Peng.”
Several people had to be placed in their own places, and another monk hurriedly led a few people over on the path.
Walking in the forefront was a little lady wrapped in Lingluo, with her hair in a double bun and beaded emeralds all over her temples, followed by several maids.
The master and servant are all in a hurry.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan looked at each other in surprise: Duan Qingying.
Duan Qingying’s master and servant quickly approached.
The little monk who led the way said to Mingxin, “Duan Tanyue said that he also had a few words with the monk in the peach forest, worried that evil things would come to her, and insisted on staying in the temple for a few days.”
Duan Qingying bowed her body in fear: “I’m disturbing the abbot and the mages.”
Teng Yuyi wondered in her heart, how could she be so scared? If Abbot Yuanjue had not personally confirmed that Duan Qingying was okay, she would really wonder if Duan Qingying was infected with evil spirits.
Duan Qingying could live in Li Baixuan with Teng Yuyi or live in the same room with Li Huaigu. When she asked her where she lived, Duan Qingying glanced at the Buddhist hall not far away. Without hesitation, he said, “I’ll live in Xuanpu Pavilion.”
So Teng Yuyi lived alone in Li Baixuan at the back, while Li Huaigu, Duan Qingying and sisters Peng lived in the west wing of Xuanpu Pavilion.
Although the two of Li Duan lived in the same apartment, there was a chess room between the two bedrooms. As long as the door was closed at night, they could not hear each other.
As soon as Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan sat down and had a sip of tea, Cheng Bo came to see them off in person.
Because he was not sure that Teng Yuyi would stay in the temple for a few days, he could not wait to send Teng Yuyi’s daily necessities.
Not to mention the clothes and jewelry, in addition to the books that Teng Yuyi often reads, the tea he often drinks, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Teng Yuyi cannot do without, small puppets, embroidered sticks…
Even the man’s head and clothes had prepared two sets for Teng Yuyi.
These things alone filled two small carts. Cheng Bo didn’t think it was enough, so he also packed Chunrong and Biluo two big maids and delivered them.
When Chunrong and Biluo came, the quiet Li Baixuan immediately became lively.
The little ladies in Xuanpu Pavilion didn’t do well either. The boxes and cages were carried in boxes. . If it weren’t for the two great monks Mingxin and Jianxing coming out to stop them warmly, the various governments would not know how much they would send in.
Teng Yuyi brought Duanfu to take advantage of the chaos and asked him, “What happened before the accident in Guanli today?”
Duanfu’s face was still not good-looking, and he said: “When the strange thunder came, the old slave was staying on the ginkgo tree on the north wall. The old slave saw the lady returning to the peach forest with his own eyes, and when he heard that Wei Lei was worried about the change, he decided to follow the lady in the forest. How could he know that the old slave just jumped off the tree, and a person passed by behind the north wall. To the feet wrapped in a black cloak—”
Black cloak man? !
Teng Yuyi almost stood up in shock: “Did you see clearly?”
Duanfu nodded.
Teng Yuyi only felt blood rush to her head, and she was confused for a moment, trying her best to keep her calm: “Okay, you can continue.”
“The old slave remembers that the lady said that she had dreamed that the man in the black cloak killed her, but unfortunately the mansion has been investigating for so long, and has not been able to find out the origin of the man. Not to mention that this person’s attire is exactly the same as that of the lady’s description, even Qinggong is rare in his life. That person crossed the north wall and disappeared all of a sudden.
While talking, Duanfu recalled the situation at the time. In a hurry, he took a look at the Taolin first, and found that Teng Yuyi and his companions were playing well inside, and then looked at the Yunhui Hall in the distance. He didn’t come again, but if it was replaced by others, he would not be able to catch up, so he had to instruct Ding Er and Wang Changgeng and other guards to go to Taolin to guard the lady, and chased out the north wall by himself.
Duanfu Qinggong and internal strength are both excellent, but he hesitated for a moment after all, and the martial arts of the black cloak man did not seem to be inferior to him. When he chased out, the black cloak man had already run away, and the black cloak man noticed that someone was chasing him. , Deliberately detouring in the alley, Duanfu chased after a while and realized that something was wrong, and hurried back to Yuzhen Nuguan Guan, only to find that the pattern in the peach forest had already changed, and the lady was nowhere to be seen…
After listening to these words, not only Teng Yuyi looked strange, but Du Tinglan was also stunned: “Ayu, I heard how that person seemed to deliberately lead Duanfu away…”
Teng Yuyi’s head was in a mess, but it wasn’t this, but something deeper.
If that person knew Duanfu, he must have known that Duanfu was her dead man. Unless something extremely urgent happened, Duanfu would never leave her without authorization.
But the man seemed to have predicted that Duanfu would be led away by a “man in black cloak”.
Strange, how could that person predict that?
Thinking about it, she stood up abruptly.
Could it be that the other party knew that their master and servant were looking for a “black cloak”? ! In deliberately arranging this scene, in addition to trying to attract Duanfu, the real intention is to test her.
Test her… test her if she remembers her past life.
A loud thunder exploded in Teng Yuyi’s ear.
impossible.
Immediately realized that this is not impossible.
She can remember the past life, why can’t others remember.
The conjecture shook her brain.
Could it be the man in the black cloak?
It is possible, after all, as soon as she and Duanfu died that night, only the black cloak people knew how their master and servant were killed.
The first thing she did after waking up was to check the black cloak man, and the black cloak man seemed to be aware of this. In order to understand the details of her side as soon as possible, he deliberately arranged today’s appearance.
She stared at Du Tinglan in a daze, which was not surprising, after all, she had already revealed her flaws.
The biggest flaw is the sister beside her.
In the previous life, my sister was killed in the bamboo forest, and in this life she encountered a tree demon in the bamboo forest again.
But my sister is still alive and well.
Not only is my sister alive, but my aunt is no longer like her previous life, because she suddenly passed away and she was sick.
This series of incidents is enough to make the black cloak suspicious.
Teng Yuyi stood at the table, the more she thought about it, the more her heart skipped a beat. Suddenly I heard A-jie ask Duanfu in shock: “Who is that person who scared A-yu like this… Think about it, did that person reveal other flaws?”
Teng Yuyi was startled.
Yup. Weakness… Why didn’t she expect that after this time, the man in black cloak was no longer the vague shadow in his memory, but a living person.
In the past, she could only draw a portrait from memory, but this time he couldn’t hold it in any longer, and he actually took the initiative to bring it to the door.
Even if Duanfu failed to fight him, he could always think back on the way of that man’s martial arts. The key is that they know the route of the man’s escape today, and as long as they follow the investigation, they will not worry about finding clues.
Thinking like this, she quickly regained her composure and asked Duanfu, “Is Grandpa back?”
The fox finally showed its tail, and she had to notify Grandpa immediately.
Duanfu said: “Master went out of the city early in the morning to deliver a letter—”
Before she finished speaking, Chunrong said outside: “Madam, the master is here. It happened that the abbot Yuanjue also came back from the palace, and the master was talking to the abbot in Yunhuitang.”
Du Tinglan’s hanging heart fell to the ground: “Okay, no matter what the origin of that person is, let’s hurry up and tell my uncle about this.”
Teng Yuyi nodded, and suddenly thought that as soon as the strange thunder appeared today, the man in black cloak appeared to lead Duanfu away, whether it was just a coincidence or intentional. If it was intentional, and the heavy-duty suddenly appeared in the world, would it have something to do with the black cloak person?
This conjecture is really amazing, but when I think of the three tragic cases that Lin Chengyou investigated, and the rumored Yue Shuo Tongjun, I vaguely feel that these things are inextricably linked.
No, she had to remind Lin Chengyou as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked out the window. There were many people in the temple, and Peng Huayue and others lived in the yard next door. The movement here could not be hidden from the eyes of others.
How to remind.
She touched Xiaoyajian in her sleeve, quickly made up her mind, and whispered, “Go and ask if Lin Chengyou is still in the temple. If he is still there, help me send a letter to the two priests.”
***
Lin Chengyou agreed to **** the scriptures of Abbot Yuanjue, but he did not dare to neglect him at all. He entered the temple and personally watched the monks put the scriptures into the Sutra Collection Pavilion. Seeing that the time was still early, he stood in front of the bookshelf to search for the Tao of Shura. Sutras related to weight resistance. The Absolute Saint and Abandoned Wisdom are of great importance, so busy is also helping to find them.
Monk Mingtong brought someone over to deliver tea, Lin Chengyou suddenly said, “Does Master Mingtong have a Linghua mirror on him?”
Mingtong was stunned: “I didn’t bring it. Is the prince going to look in the mirror now?”
Lin Chengyou looked at the scriptures on the shelf, smiled and said, “Oh, I’ll use it for investigation. I can’t buy it on the street temporarily, so I have to borrow it from the temple first.”
Juesheng and Qizhi scratched their heads in confusion, what case would they use a diamond mirror?
“I see.” Mingtong put his hands together, “Sir, wait a moment.”
Not long after, Mingtong really sent a small diamond mirror.
Lin Chengyou took the mirror into his arms as if nothing had happened, and continued to flip through the scriptures in his hands. After a while, he turned his head to look at Juesheng and Qizhi over there. The two of them were burying their heads in the scriptures and didn’t pay attention to this side at all.
He quietly put down the scriptures in his hand, took a step back, turned around, and immediately went behind another row of bookshelves to see that there was no one left or right, and then took the Linghua Mirror out of his arms.
After taking the mirror, I realized how I was acting like a thief, and before I even started taking pictures, that weird feeling came out of my heart again, my heart seemed to be a little faster, and my throat seemed to be a little dry.
Then he snorted again, just to confirm with a glance, what’s the panic. He was still, his left hand went around his shoulders, pulled away his back neckline, and his right hand raised the mirror, aiming it at the back of his neck, then turned his head and turned his eyes to the back as much as possible. Only then can you see the piece at the back of the neck.
With the light coming in from outside the window pane, he finally saw where he wanted to see.
The red-golden brand is still there, not only there, but there is no sign of fading.
Lin Chengyou was stunned, so the Gu seal was still there.
The poison in the body did not go away.
A blank look flashed across his face for a moment, he was stunned for a moment, and slowly put the mirror down.
What the **** was going through his mind.
Isn’t this expected.
The one in him is not an ordinary gu poison, but “Wang Fu Ju”, which was originally just a Gu technique, but was later introduced into the Taoist Five Elements Yin-Yang Technique by an evil Dao named Liu Xia Sanren, which turned it into an evil sect The ultimate talisman technique.
This technique is named after the Taoist Zhouyi, but in fact it is related to witch and gu, corresponding to the nine three lines, and there are worms hidden in the copper cone.
“Those who practice this technique by mistake have Gu worms hidden in their blood. Gu worms restrain the sixth line, and destroy the sixth line. If a man practices this technique when he is young, even when he is old enough to understand love affairs, the worm will be in his heart. In the veins, people are heartless and heartless.”
The words in this secret book have long been familiar to him, and he will never be wrong.
As long as the poison of the gu is not resolved for a day, it is impossible for him to be tempted by a woman.
So how could he be tempted by Teng Yuyi? That is simply impossible.
He recalled that passage, focused on reviewing the words “unfeeling and unintentional”, and thus convinced himself.
Now that he figured it out, he had nothing to think about. He put the mirror back in his arms and rewinded it to the front of the prayer rack. He stood in front of the bookshelf full of scriptures, trying to get his thoughts back, but he was still a little confused.
He frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Juesheng and Qizhi: “By the way, when did you two arrive at Yuzhen Nuguan Guan in the afternoon?”
Juesheng and Qizhi raised their heads: “I rushed over when I heard the news. I’m almost there with my senior brother.”
“I heard from Master Jing Chen that you almost cried when you learned that Mrs. Teng was kidnapped?”
Qizhi rubbed his nose: “Miss Teng is our good friend, and she is a good friend from birth to death, can we not worry if such a good friend has an accident?
Lin Chengyou thought to himself, he had dealt with Teng Yuyi so many times, and they were familiar with each other. Although she had a big temper and liked to hold grudges, she was smart and loyal. The situation when they dealt with the two monsters together was vivid in my mind. If it wasn’t for Teng Yuyi’s help , he couldn’t cut off the fangs of the corpse so quickly and smoothly. From this point of view, he and she did share adversity.
In the afternoon, he would be so anxious because he heard that a friend who had been through adversity was in trouble, and Wudao of Dongmingguan was taken away by Deng Chong, and he would also try to rescue him.
Thinking of this, the doubts in my heart seem to have eased a lot.
He glanced at the two junior brothers: “Do you often think of Mrs. Teng on weekdays?”
Qizhi thought this question was weird, but nodded: “Of course, we often think of Madam Teng. When we went to a Taoist festival in Luoyang, Qizhi and I still thought of Madam Teng when we saw the dim sum on the street.”
“So do you want dim sum or Lady Teng?”
Juesheng tilted his head and thought for a while: “Ms. Teng often gives us snacks. If we eat too much of her snacks, we will naturally think of her when we see them again.”
Lin Chengyou was startled, why didn’t he expect this, the reason why he would think of Teng Yuyi when he saw the rose was because he could always smell the fragrance of this flower on her body, and it was because other little ladies had been hanging in front of him for a long time. I will also remember the smell inadvertently.
As for the dim sum, I will think of Teng Yuyi, of course, because I have eaten the dim sum in their house.
When I saw Jiu, I thought of Teng Yuyi, of course, because she could always be seen drinking in Caifenglou.
…
And so on, almost all doubts have been explained.
I see.
His expression suddenly became relaxed, he stroked his chin, raised his hand and took out a scripture, when a monk suddenly came to him outside: “Sir, a little Tanyue is looking for you.”
Little Tan Yue?
Lin Chengyou walked out quickly, but it was not Teng Yuyi who came.
Looking around, he didn’t even see Teng Yuyi’s shadow. He looked at the little lady standing in front of the steps again, and said lightly, “What are you looking for?”
