Capture the Jade

The prince was stunned. The last time he was at Ledao Villa, he wanted to see what General Teng's daughter looked like, but unfortunately, Mrs. Teng had rubella that day. Although he had some regrets, he didn't pay much attention to it afterwards. Right next door.

Coincidentally, if it wasn't for the sudden and excellent sound of the xiao, he would not have known the news.

Would you like to go take a look? Immediately, he shook his head with a smile, even if he was a little curious about Lady Teng because of General Teng, he shouldn't act abruptly.

The prince thought so, and quickly put the idea behind him.

The Duke of Chun'an didn't ask any further questions, and only gave the steward a serious look before playing the violin again.

The steward understands that there are many literati and writers who come to the county palace for appointments today, and there are inevitably a few bohemian ones. I heard that there are so many little ladies here from Yuzhen Nuguan Guan. His Royal Highness, the county king, was keeping himself clean, and naturally he didn't want to see the guests act rashly.

His Highness wanted him to take precautions in the house in advance, so that no one would abruptly disturb the female guest of Neighboring Guan. The steward nodded and went down to make arrangements on his own.

***

In the peach forest, the girls were swinging on the swings, drinking tea, and fighting flowers. It was a lot of fun. After a while, girls one after another left the table to go to the clean room.

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

While talking, he put down the flower branch with a smile, and raised his skirt to catch up with Du Tinglan.

Du Tinglan took out the handkerchief and handed it to Teng Yuyi: "Look at you, even fighting a flower makes you sweaty."

Teng Yuyi wiped her sweat and took Du Tinglan's arm to look at the two ginkgo trees. Unfortunately, once he returned to the tree, his vision was restricted again. Looking at it like this, he couldn't see anything.

Du Tinglan followed her sister's line of sight: "What are you looking at?"

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

Du Tinglan looked ahead suspiciously. The ginkgo tree has been around for many years. It is 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 Temple have always loved to plant ginkgo trees. Is there anything wrong with this?" She laughed.

Teng Yuyi: "Without this peach forest, ginkgo is nothing special, but you see, sister, the distance between the two ginkgo trees and the peach forest is actually the same. It doesn't look like the 'yang line' in the hexagram. ', was split into 'Yin Yao' by the peach forest? Look at the peach forest again, the flowers are planted so densely, the flowers on the branches are closely connected, planted in rows, layer upon layer, it looks a bit like A natural line of yang lines. The two ends of the forest are yin lines, and the peach trees in the middle are yang lines. This layout seems inadvertent, but why do I feel a bit like a 'big excess' hexagram."

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 get serious, looked at the directions of the ginkgo tree and the peach forest, and turned her head to look at the direction behind her: "If it is too big, the south The entrance should have the same two yin lines echoing each other, but when we entered the view just now, it seemed that we didn't see a ginkgo tree at the gate."

Teng Yuyi said: "There are no ginkgo trees inside the gate, but don't forget, sister, there are two extremely high rockery on each side of the gate, and towering pines and cypresses are planted in front of the rockery, each occupying a corner of the east and west, and they are also facing each other from a distance. , In this way, wouldn't it happen to be the two Yin Yao lines in the south?"

Du Tinglan had a vague impression in her mind, but unlike her younger sister remembered it, she smiled helplessly: "Sister can't remember. You little brain, you prefer to ponder these strange things."

Teng Yuyi didn't want to think about this, but as long as she thought that the man in black had not shown her true colors, she couldn't let her guard down. No matter where she went, she would habitually observe the surrounding pattern first.

Du Tinglan looked around: "Princess Yuzhen invited so many talented people to build this temple, it is normal that there are mysteries in the temple. Although the cultivation of peach forest and ginkgo is hidden, it is not completely invisible. I feel that the organs in the view will not be placed on the bright side. Those foreign scholars deliberately make such a big hexagram for people to see, maybe it is for the purpose of paralysis. Perhaps the real mystery of the view is hidden elsewhere. ."

Teng Yuyi nodded, this made sense. It is said that Princess Yuzhen likes to study Qimen Dunjia, and the original intention of building this Taoist temple is to have a safe place to live in the changing times in Beijing. Since the princess has gathered hundreds of capable people to help out, how can she only arrange such a simple pattern.

But she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although Yuzhen Nuguan Guan had been famous for a long time, it did not occupy a very large area. It would be a bit too wasteful to plant such a large peach forest just to paralyze tourists.

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

When they reached the clean room, Du Tinglan went in to burn incense and change clothes. Teng Yuyi took a careful look at the layout, so she walked around. , I suddenly heard the sound of a few partridges from the wall not far away, knowing that Duanfu had come in, thinking that Duanfu would accompany him wherever he went next, and became more and more relieved.

After walking for a while, I saw a rockery across the road, next to the rockery is a moon window, and a few bamboo poles stick out from behind the window. There is another world behind, so I walked over.

She has practiced martial arts so far, and she has only learned the internal skills while practicing the peach blossom swordsmanship. Others, such as the Ke'er swordsmanship taught by Cheng Bo, and the brown swordsmanship taught by Wudao only half, are all just for quick success, and do not involve much internal skills.

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

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

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

These mental techniques (Note 1) that Lin Chengyou taught her, she had already memorized them very well. In addition, she practiced when she had time during this period, which made her internal strength much more proficient than when she was a beginner. Ye, but didn't even make a move.

Teng Yuyi thought it was great fun, and she became more and more focused on her luck. She suddenly remembered that when Duanfu taught her close combat techniques two days ago, she also began to teach her inner strength mental method. However, after only two moves, Duanfu's expression revealed a strange Come and ask her what kind of martial arts she has practiced in Caifenglou, as if there is something wrong with the true qi in her body.

She was stunned for a while, but since she came back from Caifenglou, her body has changed. When she went to bed at night, her feet were no longer cold, not to mention the pain of Laiguishui, and her body was warm. There is endless energy all day long.

But this is not surprising. She not only learned the peach blossom swordsmanship, but also drank Huoyu Linggen Soup. It is said that this soup can increase her internal strength for seven or eight years, so it is not surprising that these changes occur in her body, so she talked about drinking the soup. .

Duanfu didn't ask any further questions, but the doubts on his face didn't seem to ease.

While thinking about Duanfu's expression at the time, Teng Yuyi walked silently out of the window of the moon hole, and suddenly heard someone whispering behind the window, apparently someone behind the wall. The person probably did not hear her footsteps, and the conversation did not mean to interrupt.

Teng Yuyi wanted to leave, but when she heard that the voice was the sisters Peng Huayue, her footsteps stopped abruptly. The grandfather was assassinated in the previous life, and it was very likely that the mastermind behind the scenes was Peng Zhen. Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu might hear something.

Teng Yuyi quickly looked around, holding her breath and hiding behind the rockery.

"Sister, what are you doing to stop me?" It was Peng Jinxiu's voice.

Peng Huayue didn't answer at first, she seemed to want to confirm once again that there was no one around. After a while, she heard her solemnly say, "I'm stopping you from doing stupid things."

Peng Jinxiu stammered: "I-I didn't plan to do anything."

"Don't plan to do anything?! That's the west wall. You spread all the people around you and wandered here alone with the paper kite. Are you planning to put the paper kite up when the wind is strong, and then pretend to let the kite fall off accidentally? In the palace of the king of Chun'an County?"

"Nonsense." Peng Jinxiu's voice was a little embarrassed, "I didn't think so."

"Last night you suddenly asked Xing'er to find Zhiyuan for you. Sister already felt that something was wrong. I didn't see you want to put Zhiyuan on the first few outings. Why did you say that you were coming to Yuzhen Nuguan Guan? And I stayed here alone by Laijingfang. What is your intention to really look at my sister and don’t know? I remember that every time the grandfather and the others talked about Chang’an, you always inquired about the news of the king of Chun’an. Back at Ledao Villa, you secretly let someone deliver things to His Royal Highness. Tell A-sister, when did you think about His Royal Highness?"

Peng Jinxiu murmured for a while, then suddenly said angrily, "Why does my sister even take care of this? I'm too old, can't I make up my own mind?"

Peng Huayue interrupted her sister: "Everyone can do it, but His Royal Highness Dudu County can't."

"Why?!" Peng Jinxiu seemed to be shocked and angry, "His Royal Highness, he is like a fairy, and there are not many young ladies in the world who want to marry him. Sister can still remember that three years ago, we were with the grandfather and the mother. Back in Chang'an, I happened to meet His Royal Highness Prince Jun outside Yanxing Gate. It was in the middle of winter, and the sky was snowing heavily with goose feathers. His Royal Highness was riding a horse, and came back from the suburbs with his servants. Hearing the grandfather calling him, His Highness was stunned in the snow. Ma Huihui, then I will—let’s be honest, I’ve made up my mind a long time ago that I won’t marry unless His Royal Highness the Prince of the County in this life.”

Peng Huayue burst out laughing: "How old are you, you are not afraid of being laughed at when you say these words. I advise you not to waste your time, your grandfather will never agree to your marriage to His Royal Highness."

"Why?" Peng Jinxiu's voice suddenly rose a little.

"Be quiet. You know how to play all day, don't you understand why?"

"I don't understand! All I know is that His Royal Highness, Zhilan Yushu, Boguan Ancient and Modern, I have never seen a better man than him. I am afraid that His Royal Highness will despise me."

"Think about it, His Royal Highness is 21 or 2 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, and he has long since stopped being filial."

Teng Yuyi raised her ears. The last time her aunt talked about this matter, her expression was a little unnatural, but unfortunately, before she could understand, her aunt changed the subject quietly.

Peng Jinxiu said: "His Royal Highness is not willing to settle a marriage casually. Is there anything wrong with this? Doesn't this just prove that His Royal Highness is very affectionate?"

Footsteps suddenly sounded behind the wall, and one of them seemed to be leaving.

"Sister, don't go! If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about leaving."

The footsteps stopped again, and Peng Huayue sighed: "Forget it, I'll explain it to you, so you don't have to do anything stupid later. You should know the biological mother of His Royal Highness, Cui Shi, she During her lifetime, she was under house arrest for many years, and the concubine of a dignified prince fell 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?"

"Before the accident, Mrs. Cui conspired with the lover of her mother's family to frame the eldest son. That's all. It is said that when King Lao Lan checked, it turned out that Mrs. Cui had contacts with her lover before he gave birth to His Royal Highness the Prince of the County. , This is something that everyone in Chang'an knows, but after Cui's accident, Lao Lan Wang became a lot more indifferent to Min Lang, and people said that it is difficult to say whether Min Lang is Lao Lan Wang's own flesh and blood..."

Teng Yuyi's ears exploded.

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

"Okay, I'm talking nonsense. But think about it, when these famous princes in Beijing chose a marriage for their daughters, why did they never consider His Royal Highness the Prince of the County? The meaning of marriage at the Prince's Mansion. His Royal Highness, the Prince of Luli, has a high status, and he has reached the age to discuss marriage. Speaking of which, it is not because everyone is suspicious of what happened in the past. These years, the couple and saints have treated His Royal Highness the Prince of the County. Just like the flesh and blood, in order to suppress those rumors and rumors, the saint even gave His Royal Highness the fief of the county a long time ago, but this did not dispel people's suspicion."

It was quiet for a while behind the wall, and when Peng Jinxiu spoke again, his voice trembled: "It's ridiculous! It's 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, 'everyone speaks of gold, Zeng Shen kills people'. Although rumors are extremely dirty, they are the most hurtful weapon in the world. Look at it, isn't this even the emperor's power can't stop you? Not to mention the rumors It's not entirely unbelievable, you look at the appearance of His Royal Highness the Prince, doesn't he look like his eldest brother Lin Xiao?"

"Perhaps His Royal Highness is like his mother? Sister, why don't you look at yourself? Although you and I are twins, we don't look exactly the same."

"What are you yelling at me? A sister told you this, not for your own good. Just wait, Yunyin Academy will reopen in a few days. Among the royal family's children, the oldest is the prince. Your Highness, this year, even the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng have reached the age of discussing relatives. When the time comes, look at the female students in the courtyard, especially those with more honorable ranks, whether they have the idea of ​​only hitting the Prince and Prince Cheng. The reason for this, you can figure it out for yourself here!"

The footsteps sounded again, and they were fast and urgent. 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, he finally couldn't help stamping his 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 my sister was probably looking for her long ago, but most of them were quietly stopped by Duanfu. She was busy walking back along the original road, but Peng kept ringing in her ears. The words of the sisters.

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

She has never dealt with Cheng Wang Linxiao, but judging from Lin Chengyou's attitude, she obviously didn't take this rumor to heart, otherwise she would not be as close to the Prince of Chun'an, and she would hang up "Uncle Huang" at every turn. on the mouth.

Judging from the conversation between the Peng sisters just now, Peng Huayue tried hard to persuade her sister to dispel her thoughts about His Royal Highness, but she also vaguely revealed that she was not the prince and the heir to the prince, and the sisters were so eager to plan a marriage. He didn't know that his grandfather was planning a rebellion.

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

Teng Yuyi was afraid of attracting doubts from others, so she deliberately walked around the Qingquan stone steps, and finally walked through the flowers and walked towards Du Tinglan.

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

"I was curious about the mechanism in the watch, so I went over there and took a look." Teng Yuyi took Du Tinglan's arm and whispered, "I ran into the sisters of the Peng family arguing."

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

"I didn't quarrel fiercely, but I quarreled a few words." She didn't bother to spread those unbearable rumors.

Du Tinglan never liked to explore the privacy of others, so she didn't ask any further, just looked up at the sky: "It's almost noon, just now I saw a lot of female champions carrying food boxes to the direction of Yunhui Hall, I guess It's about to start..."

Just after walking back to Taolin, Li Huaigu, Wu Qi and the others came from the forest and saw them laughing: "I'm looking for a few of you, the banquet is about to start, the vegetarian meal at Yuzhen Nuguan Guan is a must in Chang'an. If you don't come back, be careful that we have eaten up all the food and drinks at the banquet. Hey, what about Aunt Peng and Erniang Peng?"

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

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

Wu Qi didn't take it seriously: "I asked the maids to look for it."

The ladies walked together, talking and laughing as they walked towards the Cloud Hall. I didn't know how far they had gone, and the sky suddenly lit up. Before everyone could understand what was going on, a loud bang exploded 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 fright on the spot. Although the rest did not scream, their expressions 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 daring, she was stunned for a moment, looked at the top of her head and said: "Today is an eye opening, I have grown so big, this is the first time I see a big Thunder on a sunny day..."

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

But Teng Yuyi's unease became stronger and stronger, as if in order to fulfill her hunch, before she could take another step, Xiao Yajian in her sleeve became hot.

Teng Yuyi's heart jumped wildly, and she hurriedly said to everyone, "This place is not right, let's go."

As he said that, he dragged Du Tinglan and ran forward. Before everyone could react, they saw a group of female champions hurriedly approaching outside the hospital, and the leader was the abbot.

The abbot also seemed to be disturbed by this strange thunder, and he didn't care about his manners. He shouted at them from a distance: "The sky is different.

As soon as these words came out, a blind wind and strange rain suddenly blew around. The strong wind swept up huge raindrops and rolled towards the person. Teng Yuyi deliberately ran to the opposite side. The raindrops on the eyelashes opened their eyes, and the women with the crown on the opposite side were long gone.

The girls screamed again and ran out of the courtyard in a hurry, but as they ran, the bricks under their feet suddenly turned into grass.

This time, even Wu Qi was so frightened that she was so scared that she hugged several female companions beside her: "Why are you back again? Where's the abbot? Why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

Du Tinglan trembled: "What the **** is going on?"

Teng Yuyi's heart was beating wildly in her heart. She was now quite sure that there were evil spirits around. No matter what it was, she had to leave this strange peach forest as soon as possible, but before she could calm down and think about countermeasures, The Xuanyin bell on the top rang, and the sound was urgent and fierce, and it seemed that it was very difficult for her to explode on her wrist.

Teng Yuyi's hair stood on end. Even when the corpse evil came, the Xuanyin bell didn't ring so fiercely. The corpse evil was already evil enough. Could it be that there is something more terrifying than the corpse evil?

The girls were so frightened that they couldn't help but shudder when they heard the untimely sound of the bell: "Whose bell? Don't make it noisy, it's scary."

Li Huaigu looked left and right with a white face, and his eyes swept over Teng Yuyi's side for a while: "It seems, it seems that it belongs to Mrs. Teng."

Duan Qingying said with a crying voice: "Don't worry about the bell or not, what's wrong with you, what are you doing, let's go."

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

Zheng Shuangyin hurriedly stepped forward to stop everyone: "No, there's something wrong with this Taolin, let's stop messing around. Don't forget, we couldn't run out just now."

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

"Yes, this, this seems to be called a ghost hitting the wall. If you walk around like a fly without a head, you will only trap people in place."

"What can I do then?" The girls had to stop, and someone started crying.

Teng Yuyi turned her head to distinguish her surroundings. The more dangerous she is, the more wise she can be in a hurry. In her opinion, the peach trees around are still those peach trees, and the ginkgo tree outside the forest is still the same ginkgo tree, but for some reason, Everything around her seemed to be different from before. She tried to identify the direction and tried to understand the difference. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded from the rear: "Everyone Tan Yue, dare to ask where the abbot is?"

When the girls turned around, they saw a gentle and gentle monk standing not far away. He was about forty years old.

There were originally only a group of little ladies in the Taolin, and suddenly a big monk appeared. The girls couldn’t help feeling weird, but Yuzhen Nuguan Guanguan is famous far and wide, and monks from other places often visit here on weekdays, not to mention this monk looks really kind. , after thinking about it, only if this monk accidentally broke in, he responded in panic: "We don't know where the abbot went."

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

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

The girls saw that there were a lot of pea-sized raindrops on his cassock. If he entered by accident to avoid the rain, and listening to him speak politely and politely, their doubts were relieved a little bit. This strange "Peach Forest" is making They were terrified, and with such a kind-hearted mage accompanying them, even their fear seemed to be relieved a lot.

Wu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly to the monk: "To tell the Master, we are lost here, since the Master can walk into the peach forest, he must have broken this trap unintentionally, so please ask the Master to lead the way along the original path. Let's go out."

The monk smiled like a Buddha, looked around and said: "So it is. The poor monk remembered that he came here. Tanyue, let's go with the poor monk."

Du Tinglan dragged Teng Yuyi to keep up, but she didn't move for a while. She looked back in surprise and saw her sister staring at the monk's back, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Du Tinglan's heart shrank: "what's the matter?"

Teng Yuyi raised her hand nervously, motioned to Du Tinglan to look at the ringing bells on her wrist, and then silently spit out four words to Du Tinglan: It is an evil thing.

Du Tinglan's scalp exploded, and she had been suspicious before, but this monk's appearance was really reminiscent of evil spirits, but the bell of my sister is a thing of Qingyunguan, and she will never give a random warning.

Seeing that the female companions were following, Du Tinglan was shocked and anxious, clenched Teng Yuyi's hand tightly, and silently began to make a mouth shape: What should I do?

Teng Yuyi tried her best to stabilize her mind. No matter what, she first got to know the origin of this monk, so she tapped Xiaoya sword with her finger, signaling the little old man to come out quickly.

This time Xiaoya's reaction was surprisingly quick. Almost as soon as she knocked on the hilt of the sword, there was movement in the sleeve. Soon, Teng Yuyi felt a little man standing up on her arm. It was strange that Xiaoya came out. Her sleeves also began to shake slightly.

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

This made her inexplicably terrified. When the corpse evil came last time, Xiaoya behaved unethically, but he did not lose his temper. This time he was so frightened.

In just a split second, Xiaoya quickly wrote something on her arm, Teng Yuyi was attentive to distinguish it, and realized that what Xiaoya wrote was: It's over, it's over, it's endurance.

After the little old man shivered and wrote these words on Teng Yuyi's arm, 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 explain it to me before you leave." What is "weight resistance"? Why did you say "finished"?

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

Teng Yu was in a state of turmoil, and taking action without understanding the details of the other party would only make them die faster.

Heavy-duty, what is heavy-duty?

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

To be able to call Xiao Ya afraid of becoming such a ghost, he will definitely not be a nameless junior.

Teng Yuyi searched for the dry intestines, vaguely remembering where she had seen these two words, and suddenly remembered that my sister often read Buddhist allusions, maybe she knew the origin of these two words, hurriedly wiped her sweat, and whispered to Du Tinglan, "A sister can Heard of 'weight resistance'?"

Du Tinglan paused, as if digesting Teng Yuyi's words, she immediately understood the meaning of the words, and her face turned pale in an instant.

She was busy saying in Teng Yuyi's ear, "Yes, it's a kind of Buddhist evil ghost."

Teng Yuyi's breathing became a little heavier, no wonder it sounded familiar. She remembered that she had seen several puppets inscribed with the word "resistance" in the night market during the Obon Festival Lantern Festival in Yangzhou in previous years.

This kind of puppet is often much taller and stronger than other objects, with eyes shining like electricity, and teeth as sharp as halberd knives. Even in the hot and hot July, seeing this puppet’s fierce and mighty appearance will make people feel a little cool on the back. . Under its feet, various evil spirits with strange shapes and shapes often crawl. Even Yaksha (Note 2), listed as one of the "Eight Dragons" in Buddhism, also surrendered to Nai Chong.

If you happen to see such a puppet at a lantern festival, you will definitely be impressed, because this heavy-duty puppet has a blue yaksha on the left and a red yaksha on the right.

However, the more she recalled the appearance of the puppet, the more doubtful Teng Yuyi felt in her heart. First of all, she couldn't connect the decent and fair monk in front of her with the king of ghosts in Buddhist legends. In fact, if it was really durable and harmful Why is it so troublesome, you can swallow them all with just one mouth.

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 only remaining luck in her heart suddenly vanished.

Do you want to dismantle it right away? She thought nervously, no, it turned into a kind-hearted monk, leading them around in the forest, must be thinking something. Suddenly, I remembered the tricks of the corpse evil to trick people. Could this ghost have some strange hobbies just like the corpse evil. Before thinking about how to deal with it, if you rashly dismantle it, it will only stimulate its fierceness.

Suddenly I remembered, where have Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu gone? Shouldn't be eaten by this monk. But the monk's hands and mouth looked clean, and it didn't look like he had just eaten. Where did the Peng family sisters go?

Teng Yuyi was thinking wildly here, while the girls concentrated on walking out with the great monk. After walking for a while, they gradually felt that something was wrong. Zheng Shuangyin looked around and asked cautiously, "Dare to ask the Master, is the exit ahead?"

The monk stopped to look back, and the smile on his face was still warm: "The poor monk is also a little confused, remember it's in the east, Tanyue, which side is the east?"

This question is easy to answer, even if one is trapped in the peach forest, as long as you stand on tiptoe and look around, you can see the cloud hall in the south.

Zheng Shuangyin knew the direction and was about to answer, but Teng Yuyi's heart jumped up and said, "Dare to ask the Master's name—"

The monk smiled and clasped his hands together, loudly proclaiming the name of the Buddha: "Amitabha! The poor monk's name is hidden."

"It turned out to be Mage Zangji." Teng Yuyi squeezed out a smile, "I know where the east is. As long as you help the Mage identify the direction, can the Mage lead us out of the woods?"

The monk Zangji smiled and said: "Tan Yue has to tell me where the east is first, and then the poor monk knows how to go."

Teng Yuyi was unrepentant: "I tell the Master what the east is, and the Master has to lead us out."

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

Duan Qingying and others were determined to get out of this hellish place, and now they have put all their hopes on this great monk, but Teng Yuyi jumped out halfway and said some inexplicable words, the car wheel came to the car wheel, and it seemed that the great monk was going to be annoyed. She glared at Teng Yuyi and took the initiative to say, "East is—"

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

Duan Qingying was stunned, and stared at Teng Yuyi with anger: "What on earth are you-"

However, 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 never seen. When Teng Yuyi had a conversation with the monk just now, he stared at the soles of the monk's shoes. After a few pieces, the mans shoes are also full of mud, and the sole edge and sole are spotless.

There is no one who does not wet the soles of their shoes. The two remembered the strange thunder just now, and vaguely guessed that this monk was definitely not a good type.

Du Tinglansheng was afraid that Duan Qingying would still speak up, so he hurried to Li Huaigu, covered Duan Qingying's mouth and said with a trembling voice, "The Master is asking for directions, when is your turn to interrupt?!"

Du Tinglan has always been lenient and courteous, so rude has never happened before. Now not only Duan Qingying was stunned, but the other ladies also finally realized that something was wrong.

Teng Yuyi looked at the monk Zangji and deliberately spoke very slowly: "The Master said just now, 'the exit is in the east'. So as long as you say where the east is, we can leave, right?"

The monk Zangji fanned his palm twice and said with a smile: "When the poor monk came in from the entrance, he passed through several rows of peach trees on the periphery. I remember that I happened to pass the seventh tree, and when I came in, I saw all the Tanyue. If you don't remember Wrong, as long as you find the seventh plant in the east, you can go out."

Teng Yuyi smiled: "Since the mage said it's right, then I'll try to guess."

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

The Pu fan of the Tibetan monk paused for a while.

The girls were stunned, it was obviously the south.

Zheng Shuangyin and Du Tinglan's complexions changed a bit, especially Zheng Shuangyin, who broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. I heard that the Jade Zhen Nuguan Guan Guan was built to deal with thunder and disasters. The response to thunder and lightning has always been more sensitive than other places, so I looked around again. , the pattern in the forest has indeed undergone subtle changes. Mostly the thunder just now inspired the secret room mechanism in the view.

Recalling the situation just now, Zheng Shuangyin's heart was pounding. If she had rashly answered this evil monk's question, it would be hard to imagine what would have happened. She was grateful and glanced at Teng Yuyi secretly.

Teng Yuyi's mind was full of the word "escape", so she took Du Tinglan's arm and walked out of the forest: "Thank you for the guidance, the seventh peach tree? It seems that it is not far from the exit, so let's go."

Wu Qi and others dared to look at the smiling monk again, and they were busy keeping up with Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan.

They quickly found the exit to the east, but Teng Yuyi and others were dumbfounded. There were eight rows of peach trees planted in the outer periphery of the east. The rows were counted down, but there were exactly seven peach trees in two rows.

The monk shook his fan and approached with a smile: "When the poor monk came here after a long journey, he is a little tired and dazzled, and he can't remember which row it is. Why don't you choose your own? The poor monk walks around the tree three times. Circle, if you can't choose, I have to take everyone Tan Yue to sit on the ground and rest."

There were a row of peach trees on his left and right, and there happened to be seven peach trees planted. After saying this, he walked around the trees with a leisurely and unrestrained expression, as if he was strolling in his own yard.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads, looking at it like this, if they can't be selected within three rounds, they are bound to end, but if they choose the wrong one in a hurry, they will still be waiting for "death".

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

"Seven...seven..." Teng Yuyi repeated in his heart, although Ajie laughed at her being too superficial, but no matter how she looked at it, the world of Taolin was like a square and upright big hexagram, but the lines of the big hexagram. Among them, there are "junior six", "nine third" and "nine fourth", but there is no "seven".

She asked Du Tinglan in a low voice, "Which hexagram's line contains 'seven'?"

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

Zheng Shuangyin suddenly said: "There is a saying in the Fu Gua that 'repeated the Tao, come back in seven days'. Taoists believe that everything in the world is based on the number of 'seven' as a cycle."

While the few people were discussing in low voices, the monk had already walked around the tree for a half and a half. Teng Yuyi held her breath and thought, "No, no matter how precise the hexagrams can't make a big difference between two rows of trees so close together."

She looked back and saw that the two towering ginkgo trees had already run to the so-called "west side", but no matter how the orientation changed, the diagonal formed by the two ginkgo trees and the peach trees would always be the same.
