That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 450

Seeing Xu Beiyou, two Zhike monks guarding in front of the mountain gate stepped forward to salute, and asked, "But Xu Tanyue?"

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "It's me."

Zhike monk said: "Just now the abbot has given orders to wait for Xu Tanyue for a long time."

Xu Beiyou hummed, "Please lead the way."

The two Zhike monks were in front, and Xu Beiyou was in the back. They entered the mountain gate, walked along the corridor, passed through the twelve archways, and came to Beichan Temple.At this time, there were four monks standing in front of the temple gate. Except for the gray-clothed monk who had invited Xu Beiyou earlier, the rest were three old monks. The leader was an old monk with white eyebrows and white beard, wearing cassock and holding a tin staff. , standing with one hand on his chest, said: "Lao Na Deyun has seen Xu Tanyue."

Xu Beiyou bowed his hand in return.

The other two monks, Dese and Desi, also greeted Xu Beiyou respectively.

De Yun stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Su Zhai is ready, please move Xu Tanyue."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "Then Xu will be disrespectful."

The director of Beichan Temple, Deyun, personally led the way for Xu Beiyou, and walked into the depths of the temple. Although Beichan Temple is known as the first temple in Jiangbei, its architecture does not have too many characteristics, and it is not much different from many ordinary temples in the world. It didn't make Xu Beiyou feel too much Buddhist aura, but there was a lot of inappropriate worldly aura.

The vegetarian banquet was placed in a side hall. After several people entered the hall and took their seats, monks continued to come and go with the dishes. Finally, after the dishes were served, there were 36 dishes in total. "Yasha" introduced with a smile: "This It is the famous Suyun Banquet. Many of the rare ingredients used in it are not found in the secular world. Only major sects produce them. Many of the ingredients are simply replaced by medicinal materials, and replaced by small sects of ordinary sects. , this Suyun Banquet will eat up half of the family fortune, when Emperor Xiao and the Empress Dowager passed through Qizhou, Qizhou Daomen used this banquet to entertain them."

Xu Beiyou didn't move his chopsticks in a hurry, and said slowly: "Since it's a dish for entertaining the emperor, how can Xu afford it?"

Host De Yun said with a smile: "Xu Tanyue doesn't need to worry. The Suyun Banquet hosted by Qizhou Daomen back then had 36 dishes, but the Suyun Banquet we use today has only [-] dishes, which is far from it." , there will never be any danger of overstepping."

On the other side, two graceful figures came to a deserted place in the northeast corner of Beichan Temple, they were Yan Qing and Yan Ying.

Yan Ying said worriedly: "Just now I went to the gate of the mountain. The monk there said that a distinguished guest came to the temple today, so he declined the pilgrims to enter, but I don't know if this distinguished guest is a master of Taoism or a high-ranking official. If the latter is fine, But if it's the former, I'm afraid there will be many variables."

Yan Qing's face was firm, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't care about so much anymore."

Yan Ying stared at Yan Qing for a moment of silence, then suddenly asked: "Why does senior sister think that he will definitely be in Beichan Temple?"

Yan Qing glanced at her, hesitated for a while, took out a small palm-sized compass from her sleeve, and said softly: "This is given to me by the master, as long as the person is within a hundred miles around, you can give birth to a compass." induction."

Yanying looked at the compass, and saw that the pointer was pointing firmly to the direction of Beichan Temple, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't senior sister tell me before?"

Yan Qing sighed, "It's not because I was afraid that you would protect that person, so I never mentioned it to you."

Yan Ying's complexion suddenly changed, her lips moved slightly but she didn't know what to say.

Yan Qing put away the compass, brushed past Yan Ying, and said softly: "Okay, let's get down to business."

Just when Yan Qing was about to cross the wall, she suddenly felt a numbness in her back, and her three key orifices were pierced by sword energy. Although it was not fatal, the energy in her body suddenly lost control, making her uncontrollable fell backwards.

Yan Ying, who was standing behind her, took a step forward to hug the fallen Yan Qing, and softly called Senior Sister, her eyes were a little red.

Yan Qing was startled and angry, "Yan Ying, what are you going to do!?"

Yan Ying said with a complicated expression: "Senior Sister, you guessed it right, I really can't let him go, so I can't let Senior Sister find him."

Yan Qing asked anxiously: "Yanying, are you crazy? What you do is tantamount to betraying the sect, and your bright future will be ruined."

Yanying smiled sadly, "If I don't have him, what's the use of giving me a fairy of land."

Yan Qing eased his tone, and said hoarsely: "Silly girl, don't be impulsive, in fact Lin Lang is using you, he has always used sweet words to deceive women, you want to fly with him, but he will be like this Think? Did you know that besides you, he also secretly hooked up with two other senior sisters? I suspect that the reason why he was able to escape the sect's heavy roundup this time is that those two people also put in a lot of effort in secret. It can be seen that this person is How about character, is it worth it for such a man? In terms of your qualifications, you are expected to become a minor craftsman in the future. If you have some great opportunities, you may not be able to become a master craftsman. You still have a long way to go. What? I can't meet such a man..."

Yan Ying pursed her lips, "There is a saying that only one scoop of Ruo Shui is three thousand. No matter how many men there are in the world, there is only one Lin Lang. I believe that Junior Brother Lin will not betray me, and I also believe that he is not like what Senior Sister said. Man, I know that he has some contact with the other two senior sisters, but it's just a joke. He once promised me that he would leave the Central Plains with me, go to the grasslands outside the Great Wall, go to Wusiyuan to jump horses and whip, and go to Daxue Mountain to see the snow. Ai Ai, went to the Biluo Lake to watch the Debate Conference, went to the bank of the hot sea to see a vast expanse of blue, and finally found a safe place, he rode his horse and let the eagle go, let the dog chase the rabbit, I herded cattle and sheep, washed and cooked, from then on Stay together outside the Great Wall, stay away from right and wrong disputes, have no worries, and never return to the Central Plains."

Yan Qing didn't know whether he was anxious or angry, his lips trembled, "Sai... the grassland beyond the Great Wall?"

Yanying bit her lower lip lightly, and said firmly: "Even if I follow him to wander the world, live in no fixed place, and never regret it, even if I suffer all kinds of suffering and suffer all kinds of hardships, I can only be with him , but also joy in my heart.”

Yan Qing grabbed Yanying with all her strength, and said with difficulty: "As long as you don't go to that person, I can pretend that this has never happened, and I won't tell Master, and I won't say a word to anyone else."

Yanying didn't speak, but shook her head lightly.

Yan Qing's eyes finally showed a bit of despair, but he still tried his best to persuade him: "Junior Sister, Senior Sister, I have been here. Listen to Senior Sister's persuasion, don't believe Lin Lang's words, I can tell you clearly, Lin Lang is from Hua Shishu. What was stolen in his hand was not any secret book at all, but many confidential blueprints of the sect. Haven't you ever thought about how Lin Lang knew that Uncle Hua had such secrets in his hands, and he, a little craftsman, How did you break the formation set up by a young craftsman? This person is clearly a spy who has infiltrated the sect. He has a huge plan, and there must be someone behind him. Do you still believe that he will take you back to the fields? ?”

Yanying finally showed a bit of hesitation, but it disappeared in an instant, and regained her previous firmness.

She gently put Yan Qing in her arms on the ground, then took out the compass from Yan Qing's sleeve, and whispered: "Senior sister, I'm sorry."

Under Yan Qing's complicated eyes, Yan Ying leaped high like a butterfly and flew over the courtyard wall of Beichan Temple.
