A knife in love

Chapter 3004

Li Qiufeng listened to the old man in gray talking about Bao Xi's situation after he left the hall, and thought to himself, what happened to Bao Xi was quite similar to what happened to Miss Murong and I when we fell into an illusion in Jingxin Temple. If it wasn't for him in a dream, it was While drinking, he fell into Leng Lin's tricks, and was stunned by Leng Lin with poison such as ecstasy smoke, so he saw these weird phantoms.Bao Xi was framed by Liangzhou officials, clansmen, and evil servants, and had to leave his hometown and go into exile.He was in a hurry to flee for his life, so it was not unusual for him to stumble into a ruined temple in a barren mountain, but Leng Lin was ordered to do something, so there was no need to hurry, so how could he walk into a ruined temple?Maybe Leng Lin was not working for the Imperial College at all, but a killer hired by those who wanted to take Bao Xi's life, chasing Bao Xi all the way to the outside of Luoyang city, and restraining him in the ruined temple.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng's heart moved, thinking that Bao Xi is a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and if Leng Lin is a killer, it would be easy to kill Bao Xi.But he didn't do anything, and invited Bao Xi to drink and eat meat.Could it be that Leng Lin couldn't see that Bao Xi had never practiced martial arts and had no idea, so he planned to get Bao Xi drunk before killing him?It's just that Leng Linruo is really so stupid, let alone a killer, even a rascal in the market, he is afraid that he will be beaten to death on the street within a few days, so how could someone entrust him with such important matters as chasing and killing Bao Xi? Do?

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, the old man in gray went on to say: "Seeing this situation, Bao Xi suddenly realized that it was these women in white who grabbed his arms and neck and pushed him off the bridge. Think about the so-called golden The lotus flower and so on are just nonsense made up by these women in white clothes. They purposely exclaimed in order to trick themselves to the edge of the chain bridge, so that the big hand protruding from the mist could grab them. Seeing themselves Wanting to avoid that big hand, these women in white naturally refused to let go of themselves, grabbed their arms and necks, and pushed themselves off the chain bridge.

"Thinking of this, Bao Xi felt regretful in his heart. He hated that he was fooled by a group of girls and was pushed off the chain bridge by them. This river and the chain bridge are so weird, even if there is no one who protrudes from the mist That big hand, if he fell from the iron chain bridge, he would have to fall to his death. Thinking of this, Bao Xi felt a chill in his heart, knowing that today was no luck, so he had to close his eyes and wait for death.

"Bao Xi was all hopeless, thinking that he would either be dragged into hell by that big hand, or fall into the water and drown or fall to his death. It's just that when he was depressed, he felt that his back hit something extremely hard, and he didn't know what it was. The big hand was still on the surface of the water. Immediately after a sharp pain in the right hand, Bao Xi couldn't help opening his mouth and screaming, and suddenly opened his eyes.

"I saw a bright light in front of me. There was no dense fog, no chain bridge, and no woman in white clothes. Bao Xi was lying on the ground, and what he saw on his back was the ruined temple roof, which had mostly collapsed. Sunlight poured in from the hole on the temple roof. , quite comfortable on the body. Bao Xi was at a loss and didn't know what was going on. After a long while, he wanted to sit up from the ground. But as soon as he pressed his right hand to the ground, he felt a piercing pain coming from his hand. Pain, he couldn't help screaming again, hurriedly withdrew his right hand. When he raised his right hand in front of him to examine carefully, he found that the edge of the palm of his right hand had turned black, and the pain was excruciating when he moved it a little.

"Bao Xi turned his head and looked to the right, and saw that as far as he could from his body was a pile of burnt wood embers. He was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the pile of embers were the last night. Lin lit the fire to keep warm. At this time, Bao Xi was in a state of shock, carefully recalled the previous scene, and finally figured out what happened. Thinking about it, he and Leng Lin drank and ate meat last night, and he couldn't drink enough, so he didn't know what happened. When I fell into a deep sleep, I had various adventures in my sleep. I fell from the chain bridge in my dream. In fact, I turned over in my sleep and rolled on my back on the ground. When I fell asleep, I was not far from the fire Just now, I just wanted to get up from the ground in a daze, and propped my right hand to the ground, and it happened to reach into the embers of the fire, so that the edge of my right hand was burned black. Fortunately, the flame has been extinguished, and there are only some coals left. I burned my hand, but it didn't hurt much.

"Thinking of this, Bao Xi struggled to get up from the ground. While putting his right hand to his mouth, he blew hard on the edge of his palm, while turning his head to look around. It was already bright daylight, and the dilapidated hall It was bright. Apart from a pile of ashes on the ground and a burden I was carrying, there were broken bricks and tiles and rotten wood.

"Bao Xi recalled what happened last night. It seemed like a lifetime away. He didn't even dare to judge whether Leng Lin, who was drinking with him, was a real person or a figure in a dream. It was only because the smell of wine and meat remained in his mouth that he believed it. I did drink and eat meat with Leng Lin. It's just that there is no one in the hall now, so I don't know where Leng Lin went.

"Bao Xi thought for a long time, and then remembered the scene in the dream. At this time, his mind was clear, and he was no longer as confused and dazed as he was in the dream. He thought to himself, this dream is really strange, but it's not true. It's very clear. The beautiful woman in Chinese clothes who came to pick me up, she was also called Zhaoyi by the officials, presumably she was Wu Zetian's confidant Shangguan Wan'er in the past. As for the woman I saw in the side hall of the main hall The person wearing the high crown is naturally Empress Wu Zetian of the first generation. I never thought that I could meet two great figures from more than a thousand years ago in my dream, which is also an adventure.

"Thinking of this, Bao Xi is no longer as terrified as before, thinking that he was just having a weird dream. The most important thing right now is to find a way out of the barren mountain as soon as possible, and find a safe place to settle down as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Bao Xi stretched his waist, then bent down to lift the burden from the ground, but saw a blank piece of paper on the burden with a few lines of big characters written on it. Bao Xi was stunned and stood there dumbfounded. After a while, he picked up the white paper, looked at it carefully in front of his eyes, and said silently: "Mr. is still asleep, and I left first. We met by chance. We hit it off. I can't repay you. I will give you 50 taels of silver. Floating a big white, Leng Linshu'.

"After Bao Xi finished reading the words on the paper, he stood there for a while, only to realize that there was a gray cloth bag next to his baggage. It was just that there was white paper on it, so he didn't notice the bag. Thinking of this, Bao Xi Xi only felt his heart pounding, he hesitated and stretched out his left hand, and grabbed the gray cloth bag in his hand. He could only hear the rattling sound in the bag, which was the sound of silver rubbing against each other. Bao Xi was both surprised and happy , casually threw the white paper on the ground, opened the mouth of the bag with both hands, and there were more than a dozen ingots of silver in it.

"When Bao Xi fled Liangzhou, his family was already in ruins. He only brought a little money with him. He lived in the wind and slept all the way, and he couldn't even eat enough. When he escaped into this ruined temple, he only had a few coins left on him. Broken silver. Bao Xi was worrying about what would happen after all the money was spent, but Leng Lin actually gave him 50 taels of silver. Overjoyed, I couldn't help but burst out laughing."
