Chapter 686 Who is going to kill?
Compared with Chang'an, Luoyang is warmer. Chang'an only entered a period of extreme heat in May, but Luoyang immediately entered a period of high-temperature cooking.

The reason for this situation is entirely because Luoyang is surrounded by dense water networks, and the territory is densely covered with rivers and canals. A river meanders in between.

In addition, Luoyang's terrain is high in the west and low in the east.The mountains, rivers and hills in the territory are staggered, and the terrain is complex and diverse. It is surrounded by Yushan, Mangshan, Qingyaoshan, Jingzishan, Zhoushan, Yingshan, Longmenshan, Xiangshan, Wan'anshan, Shouyangshan, Songshan and other mountain ranges.

This turned Luoyang into a tilted basin, and it would rain if the clouds in the sky moved a little.

Once there is no cloud cover, Luoyang becomes a huge steamer.

But all areas that are better and more suitable for defense are like this. Chang'an is like this, and Luoyang is naturally like this.

The only thing Luoyang is better than Chang'an is that the transportation here is really convenient.

It is known as the city of eight passes and the thoroughfare of ten provinces.

Because Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, with mountains and rivers criss-crossing, and Qinling Mountains in the west, the Han Valley is Guanzhong Qinchuan.

To the east is Songyue Mountain; to the north is Taihang and the danger of the Yellow River.

Looking at Funiu in the south, there is a man of thousands of leaves, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and his situation is the best in the world.

In May, the peonies in Luoyang withered long ago. The flowers were gone, only some green seeds were on the branches, and they were divided into several petals, which looked unlucky.

There are no peonies in the White Horse Temple, only epiphyllum, which just bloomed last night. According to Zhuoma and Aisha, the flowers are pure white, blooming quietly, and when they bloom to the extreme, they wither instantly. The beauty is unforgettable.

Naha didn't see it, she fell asleep.

The epiphyllum was given to Naha by Master Daozheng, the presiding elder of the White Horse Temple. Seeing that Naha was simple and natural, the monk Daozheng gave her a pot of epiphyllum that was about to bloom, and told Naha that seeing the epiphyllum bloom instantly, there was a sense of Zen attached to it.

Naha didn’t feel Zen or something, she didn’t like the thick leaves of epiphyllum, she felt that this thing was as fat as the Zhike monk in Luoyang, it must be a person who eats more and occupies more. They are sneaky like thieves, must have embezzled a lot of fertilizers, and chose to open at night because they were afraid of being seen by others.

When Dolma and Aisha returned the defeated epiphyllum to Master Daozheng, Dolma said that the Buddha girl did not like this potted flower, but she liked Populus euphratica in the Gobi. It will not fall for a year, and it will not rot for 1000 years.

After receiving Naha's answer, Master Daozheng said to Master Xuanzang in front of him: "Don't want the prosperous Buddha girl who is just a few seconds away."

Master Xuanzang said with a smile: "Pullar euphratica braved the wind and snow in the Gobi, with tenacious will, it can survive if there is water, and die in large numbers if there is no water. Praise."

Master Daozheng praised; "We always think that the world is a thousand worlds when a horse flies through the gap, and the life and death of a mayfly is eternal. In this way, life is despised. The Buddha's insight is beyond the old monk's expectation."

Master Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha Buddha, the true nature is the one who understands the mind and sees one's nature..."

What Naha asked Zhuoma to say for her was what her brother told her when she and her brother escaped from Qiuci and passed the flooded Populus euphratica forest.

Naha usually can’t remember what other people say, but she remembers what her brother said firmly since she was a child, for example, her brother won’t let her leave the tent at night, like her brother won’t let her eat raw meat, she won’t let her drink raw water, and she won’t let her Dirty clothes, don't let her...

The reason why I can remember is entirely from the muscles, because if I can't remember, I will be beaten.

Thinking of what her brother said, Naha naturally missed her brother, but Master Daozheng and the others forbade her to leave the White Horse Temple. Naturally, she could not listen to these words. Fortunately, the walls of the White Horse Temple were not as high as those of the Da Ci’en Temple. Ma stood at the bottom, Aisha stood on Dolma's shoulders, and Naha stepped on Aisha's shoulders to climb out of the wall.

When Naha groaned and pulled Dolma and Aisha up to the wall with a whip, she turned around and saw Li Hong squatting on the branch of a tree.

Under the tree, there was also a large group of guards from the Eastern Palace. They were very nervous, especially the little eunuch Cong Tou next to Li Hong, who was very nervous, for fear that the crown prince would fall from the tree.

However, the way Li Hong climbs the tree is very similar to the lynx of Yun's family. In addition, this lynx with long hands and long legs moves back and forth on the branches, nimbly and securely.

"Are you going to enter the White Horse Temple secretly?" Naha asked Li Hong while riding on the wall.

"Are you going to sneak out of the White Horse Temple?" Li Hong asked Naha dangly while holding a branch with one hand.

While sending Dolma down the wall with a whip, Naha said to Li Hong: "Then it won't prevent you from entering the White Horse Temple, you have to be careful, the monks in Shaolin Temple have been very aggressive recently, and they will beat anyone who climbs the wall with a stick. "

Li Hong jumped up on the wall and grabbed Aisha's arm and threw her down, let Onion and the others catch her, then squatted on the top of the wall and said to Naha: "I came here to find you. If you are not here, I will go into the Monk Temple do what?"

Naha whipped out her whip, wrapped it around a branch, then swung lightly down the wall, looked back at Li Hong and said, "I'm going to find my brother, don't follow me."

Li Hong jumped directly off the wall, and instead of pretending to be unrestrained, landed on the ground with his legs, he rolled lightly on the ground twice, letting go of his strength, and finally stood in front of Naha.

"Do you know where your brother is?"

"I don't know, but my brother must live near the White Horse Temple, so you can find out if you ask someone."

"Hey, why are you so smart this time?"

"Because that's my brother and I'm his sister. As long as he comes to see me, he will definitely live nearby."

"So confident?"

Naha smiled and said, "I have confidence in my brother, okay, you go and play, I'm going to find my brother."

Li Hong looked at Naha who turned to leave, and quickly said, "I'll take you there."

Naha was about to refuse, but she didn't know where it came from, which made her scalp tingle for a while, and she lay flat on the ground without saying a word.

"Whoosh" a feathered arrow flew over her, slantingly inserted into the soil, its tail feathers trembling constantly.

Li Hong's little face flushed just now when he was stimulated by Naha's words that you went to play, and in an instant he saw an arrow sticking into the ground.

Before he could speak, the eunuch Congtou's high-pitched screams rang out. Immediately afterwards, Naha and Li Hong were surrounded by guards from the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

Li Hong fumbled on Naha's body, and after being knocked off by Naha, this guy was like an enraged lion. With a roar, he said to Xiao Siye, the leader of the guards: "Decree, take this place as the center of the circle, blockade for three miles , check it out for me, the assassin must be caught."

Immediately, some guards took orders and ran away. Seeing that Li Hong was surrounded by the guards, Xiao Siye took a look at Yu Jian's appearance, and with a knife in hand, he flew out along the trajectory of Yu Jian.

The feathered arrow hit the ground half a foot, which means that the person who shot the arrow just now was no more than a hundred steps away from them. There is a shop fifty steps away from the outer wall of the White Horse Temple, separated by a road.

Xiao Siye walked like a snake with a knife in front of his chest, and came to the door of the most suspicious shop. With his arms around him, he slammed his thick body against the door panel. The door panel shattered, and a group of guards rushed in.

It was not too early at this time, the pilgrims from the White Horse Temple had already left, and these shops were also closed down one after another. After Xiao Siye ran rampant in the shop for a while, he brought out a chunky businessman from the shop.

The rest of the guards also found a lot of people from other shops.

Xiao Siye's eyes were reddish, he looked at the fat businessman and asked, "Who is the one who shoots the arrow?"

The fat businessman shook his head in horror and said, "I don't know!"

With a twist of the long knife in Xiao Siye's hand, he chopped off the head of a woman who had just been dragged out by the guards, and asked again: "Who is the one who shoots the arrow?"

The fat businessman looked at his wife's headless body and screamed, "I don't know."

The long knife in Xiao Siye's hand flickered again, and a young man's head was cut off again.

"Who is the shooter?"

The fat businessman screamed, "I really don't know..."

This time, Xiao Siye no longer killed others, but threw the fat businessman in his hand who was so frightened that he was pissing and shitting on the ground, stepped on the fat businessman's head with his feet, and said to the merchants captured by the guards: "Who is the one who shoots the arrow?" ?”

After speaking, without waiting for everyone to respond, the long knife in Xiao Siye's hand cut off the head of the fat businessman.

Fat people have always had more blood in their bodies than ordinary people. After the fat businessman's head was cut off, the blood spurted out and drenched the heads and faces of those people.

"If you say it, one will die, if you don't say it, everyone will die!"

Li Hong forced Naha's head into his arms, he was afraid that these bloody scenes would frighten Naha.

Naha broke free with the strength of the boss, and said to Li Hong, "Who wants to kill me?"

Li Hong looked around fiercely and said, "It's either a monk, or a nun, or a foreign monk."

Naha said: "Why did you kill me?"

Li Hong hated iron and steel and said: "You are going to sit on the bed and become the queen of the Buddhist kingdom, and being assassinated is a perfectly normal thing."

"Why do those people want to kill me and not you?"

Li Hong looked at Naha with pity and said, "Kill me? They can't bear the consequences of killing me."

Naha shook her head and said, "I think they are trying to kill you, not me."

"The Feather Arrow is aimed at you."

"It's too high. If you want to kill me, the feathered arrow should be lower. Archery needs to be calculated in advance. If you followed me just now, the height of this arrow should be right through your neck."

"No way? How do you know?"

"You'd know it if you were a regular target."

"Who dares to take you as a target?"

Naha sighed and said, "When I was in the Serbs, I was so bold that I dared to hold dead heads and let them practice archery..."
