A knife in love

Chapter 3005

Murong Danyan listened to the gray-clothed old man's words, and thought to himself that I heard that Bao was bullied by corrupt officials, clansmen, and evil servants, so I felt very sympathetic to him.But after he woke up from the dream, he saw the letter that Leng Lin had written to him before he left, and he just wanted to find the 50 taels of silver left by Leng Lin, so he discarded the letter casually.It can be seen that this person is a mean and ruthless person who values ​​profits and despises friends, and is not worthy of pity.

When Murong Danyan was thinking about it, the old man in gray went on to say: "Bao Xi laughed wildly for a while, feeling extremely happy in his heart, he carefully put the money into the bag, straightened his clothes, and tied the bag firmly Then he walked out of the hall. At this time, he was carrying 50 taels of silver, which was completely different from Bao Xi who fled into the ruined temple like a bereaved dog last night. After he walked out of the hall, he did not immediately walk into the courtyard, but Standing on the stone steps and looking left and right, he looked complacent.

"Last night, Bao Xi lost his way in the mountains. He was terrified and surrounded by darkness. Although he stumbled into the ruined temple, he didn't know what the ruined temple looked like. At this time, the sky was bright and the surroundings were full of light. Bao Xi stood Looking left and right on the stone steps, I finally saw the ruined temple clearly. It turns out that the temple is huge in scale, and there are actually two courtyards from the mountain gate to the main hall. There is a big hall. It’s just that the front hall has collapsed, leaving only broken walls. Bao Xi thought to himself, from this point of view, the hall I’m in is the middle courtyard, and there’s an apse in the backyard. This The temple has three courtyards, the scale is not small, but the halls and pavilions are dilapidated, and all the wing rooms are also collapsed. There are neither statues nor steles in the main hall. I don't know which god or Buddha used to enjoy incense here.

"Bao Xi thought for a moment, then thought again, whoever the hell is in the dojo, the most important thing right now is to find a safe place to settle down, study hard, and then enter the examination room next year. When I turn around , must go back to Liangzhou, and settle accounts with those traitors!
"Thinking of this, Bao Xi made up his mind. He strode down the stone steps, intending to leave this ruined temple as soon as possible. However, when he walked to the middle of the courtyard, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were somewhat familiar, so he couldn't help but stop. , turned his head and looked behind him. He saw that although the main hall was dilapidated, it was about three feet high and more than ten feet wide. It stood majestically in the middle of the mountain, and it looked huge at a glance. Seeing this situation, Bao Xi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. After shaking for a while, he almost fell to the ground. It turned out that he found that this hall was the same as the one he saw in his sleep. Although the scale was much smaller, the shape was almost exactly the same.

"Bao Xi stared dumbfounded at the hall, feeling a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his two rows of teeth kept colliding, making strange noises. The scene from last night's dream flashed before his eyes instantly, The appearance of Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Zetian became more and more clear. Although the sun was hanging in the sky and the surroundings were bright, Bao Xi became more and more afraid as he thought about it. Myself. Thinking of this, Bao Xi only felt that the roots of his hair were numb, and the hairs all over his body seemed to stand on end. He couldn't help but yelled, turned around and fled to the front yard.

"The stone wall between the front yard and the middle yard has already collapsed, and there are bricks and rubble everywhere. It is quite difficult to walk. At this time, Bao Xi was scared out of his wits. He didn't want to stay in this dilapidated temple for a moment. He fled to the temple gate. Although there were bricks and stones everywhere under his feet, Bao Xi still ran desperately. During this time, he fell to the ground several times, his hands were cut by the bricks and stones, dripping with blood, and his forehead and cheeks were also hit. Bruised and swollen, Bao Xi didn't care about it at all, and fled to the front yard in a staggered way. He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he escaped tens of feet outside the temple gate.

"Just then Bao Xi ran away with all his strength. Although his face and body were injured, he didn't feel any pain. It wasn't until he breathed a sigh of relief that he felt severe pain in his body, his legs were heavy, he couldn't run anymore, and fell down with a plop It's on the ground. It's tens of feet away from the ruined temple, and the surroundings are bright again. Bao Xi feels at ease, sitting on the ground panting heavily, and suddenly doesn't even have the strength to stand up .

"After a while, Bao Xi gradually gained strength and was about to struggle to stand up from the ground when he suddenly heard someone behind him saying, Hey, who are you and why are you here?
"Bao Xi was taken aback. He didn't care to get up from the ground, and turned his head quickly. He saw a person coming from the bottom of the mountain, looking at him with a look of surprise. This person was about 40 years old, with a head He was wearing a broken bamboo hat, the coarse cloth clothes on his body were already patched and patched, he was wearing a pair of straw sandals, and he had an ax stuck in his waist. Judging by his attire, he was clearly a woodcutter. Bao Xi was slightly shocked After a while, I struggled to get up from the ground, and said to the man, "Brother, please. I was driving in the dark last night, and walked into the mountains in a daze, but got lost in the mountains. Exhausted, I fell asleep here. , I just woke up and found that the sky was bright, and I was looking for a way to go down the mountain. I happened to meet my brother, and I hoped that my brother would point out a way to go down the mountain.

"After hearing what Bao Xi said, the woodcutter's expression improved a lot. He walked up to Bao Xi, looked him up and down, then sighed, and said, you are not from the local area. You managed to save your life by not breaking into the ghost temple in front of you. Presumably your ancestors saved your life because of their good deeds.

"Hearing what the woodcutter said, Bao Xi knew that the ruined temple he escaped from just now must be very strange. He was curious, and deliberately pretended to be ignorant. do not understand?

"The woodcutter smiled, pointed to the ruined temple in front of him and said, have you seen the stone wall and ruined house? There was originally a big temple there, it is said that it was built during the Tang Dynasty, and it was called Dayun Temple. The temple in our village According to the legend of the old people, there was a woman surnamed Wu who killed many ministers and common people in order to become the emperor. After she became the emperor, because she had done too many sinful things, she had nightmares every night. Those ministers and people who were killed came to ask for their lives. Later, she listened to the idea of ​​an eminent monk and sent someone to build a Dayun Temple here, which enshrined the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and planned to use the power of Dayun Temple to save death. The soul of the dead in her hands. Unexpectedly, not long after the temple was built, the son of the empress would take advantage of her illness to lead troops into the imperial palace, kill the empress' confidants, and lock the empress in the harem , became the emperor herself. The empress did not expect to be tricked by her own son, and she couldn't get up, so she died of anger in the harem. Although her son killed the empress's confidantes, he was still angry. A team of soldiers arrived here, not to mention the demolition of the Dayun Temple, and all the officials and craftsmen who presided over the construction of the temple were taken into the temple and beheaded, and their heads were hung on the pine trees outside the temple for public display."
