Chapter 6 The fourth time Liying Qinghong

Shen Xuan could not help but close his eyes when he heard the wind whistling in his ears.Suddenly, his waist tightened, as if being caught by something, and it was dragged upwards.He fell for such a long time, originally he fell very fast, but he stopped immediately when he pulled it like this, he felt that his internal organs were about to be poured out.When the old injury struck, the world spun and almost passed out.He was hanging and shaking in mid-air, when he suddenly heard a "snap" from above, and he fell down again.Fortunately, it was not far from the ground at this time.Shen Xuan saw a clump of bushes on the ground, so he jumped up hard, landed on it and bounced a few times, but he was not injured.He rolled to the ground and just got up when he saw a figure leaping across the air, as if he was stepping down a rock wall steadily. Said: "How about you - ouch!"

Li'er suddenly fell beside him, held down his right ankle, and said with a smile, "It's a failure!" Only then did Shen Xuan understand: it turned out that Li'er had landed on a dead tree on the rock wall in mid-air, and when she saw herself falling, she released her white silk to hold her back.But after all, the force of the fall was too great, and the dead branch was broken.That's why it fell a second time.Li'er hurriedly jumped down to see if she was safe, but accidentally she lost her footing and sprained her ankle.This time, there was no thought of survival, but she saved herself.

Li'er complained of pain again and again, and took off her right shoe and sock, only to see a lump the size of a steamed bun swelled up on her ankle.Shen Xuan hurriedly found out the silver needle, stuck it on the acupuncture point, and asked: "Is it better?" Li'er nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "They are really cruel, even pushed you down. But why are you on top?" Shen Xuan was a little uneasy: "It has nothing to do with them. I jumped off myself." Li'er wondered, "What's wrong with you?" Shen Xuan hesitated and said: "I followed you here, and saw you fall down again. I... I was anxious, so I followed you and jumped down."

After speaking, his face flushed red. Li'er said angrily: "Brother Xuan, you..." Turned around and remained silent. Shen Xuan smiled and said: "Who knows that you don't really want to seek death, but just escape." Li'er looked up, only to see the cliffs, which could be thousands of feet high.There is a line of blue sky in the middle, and the cliffs on both sides are vertically descending. Except for a few dead trees, there is no place to stay.She was also a little scared, and said: "Actually, I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to escape. Now I have to stay at the bottom of the valley for one night, and find another way out tomorrow. This must be at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain." Pause He said again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tomorrow. Maybe they expect that I will not die, and it's unknown if someone guards the exit. Then I don't know how long I will hide."

Shen Xuan asked: "Are you really not going back?" Li'er wondered: "Didn't we agree to go back to Huluwan together...how come you..." Shen Xuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you. It's just..." What he thought in his heart was, if she is really Tang Mulong's fiancée, what should he do?But in this case, it seems inconvenient to ask.Sui said, "Didn't you remember anything after following Qian Shijun these days? Then he can always tell you something about the past." "In the past?" Li'er was stunned, looking at the few stars in the sky for a long time, Fang said, "He said something. But Qian Shijun, I can't believe him. He is very good to me, and They may not all be lying to me. But these people...you don't know, they are people in the world, they always treat people with a mask, and you never know what he is thinking. How dare I believe him? But I I know I don't believe it, but I have to follow them all the time because... I don't know anything..." Suddenly he choked.

Shen Xuan saw her talking more and more desolately, since he met her, he had never seen her so wronged, he was very sad, but he didn't know how to comfort her.I only heard her say again: "Brother Xuan, in fact, these days, I can't stop thinking: where did I come from, and where should I go? At that time in Huluwan, being with you was like a paradise. Carefree, I don't have to think about these things at all. But when I go back to the rivers and lakes, I can't help but ask, I can't think about it. It seems that I was born to find the answer to this question, but I can never find it. Only the dead If I can drink Mengpo soup and forget the past, I will probably be dead!"

Shen Xuan supported her and said: "Li'er, don't cry. Your illness will recover, and then you will be fine." Li'er shook his head, moved to the side and curled up, leaned his head on the rock, and closed his eyes .Shen Xuan thought to herself: I should let her try my medicine, why forgot.Just after taking out the medicine, he suddenly changed his mind and hesitated again: Li'er fell out with Qian Shijun and Tang Mulong because he couldn't remember anything.But Tang Mulong is her fiancé, I'm afraid it's not a fabrication.Once Li'er remembered the past, she would still marry him.

Holding the bottle of medicine in his hand, he couldn't pass it out anymore. If she can never remember the past, just hide in Huluwan, don't ask about world affairs, don't know life and death, wouldn't she be just as safe and happy? The moonlight casts into the valley and shines on the jagged rocks, creating an infinite tranquility.Shen Xuan stared at Li'er's sad face under the moonlight.Suddenly, a tear leaked from the depths of the long eyelashes, and glistened across the face. Shen Xuan's heart was shocked, he stepped forward, and stuffed a pill between Li'er's lips.Li'er swallowed it without saying a word, and fell asleep again.Shen Xuan sat on the ground, her heart was empty: If this medicine is really effective, I will never see her again tomorrow.

When I woke up, it was broad daylight.Li'er is not there anymore.With a long sigh, he stood up, only to find a girl in black over there combing her hair facing a stream, her long black hair flowing down like a waterfall. Shen Xuan couldn't help asking: "Li'er, do you remember?" Li'er seemed to nod her head.Shen Xuan watched her comb her hair, turned around, and suddenly bowed down to Shen Xuan Yingying: "Shen... elder brother, you finally saved me. How can I thank you for this kindness?" Shen Xuan quickly helped her up: "Li'er, why are you like this. I always treat you as if you are my own sister."

Li'er looked up at him with a strange expression, she couldn't tell whether it was indifference, suspicion or consideration.She was right in front of him, yet seemed to be very far away.Don't mention some things from now on, and they are tacit to each other.He seemed to readily accept the fact that Li'er was just his "sister". As expected, Li'er's spirit is quite different from yesterday, not only is there no fear left, but also he is alert and flexible, his spirits are radiant, he has really recovered.Shen Xuan smiled slightly: "Now that you have remembered everything, where are you planning to go?"

Li'er said: "Don't mention this yet. I'm a little hungry, how about you?" Shen Xuan nodded and said, "I'm hungry too. I haven't eaten since yesterday morning." Li'er smiled, and suddenly took out a bunch of grilled fish from behind as if by magic, and handed it to Shen Xuan.Shen Xuan wondered, "Where did it come from?" Li'er said: "There are plenty in the creek, won't I catch them?" Shen Xuan took a look, in the small stream where Li'er combed her hair, there were indeed many fishes swimming in the small stream.There was still a fire by the stream, and she thought that when she was asleep, she caught fish in the stream, cleaned and scaled them, disemboweled them, tied them up with straw ropes and roasted them over the fire, waiting wake up by yourself.Shen Xuan laughed and said, "I never expected you to be so capable." Li'er said: "When I was young on Tiantai Mountain, I often caught fish by myself in the mountain stream. There are many mountain springs and waterfalls in Tiantai Mountain. When I was alone, I would follow the water to go deep into the mountains, and walk far, far back. I can’t go home. When I’m hungry, try grilling fish.” Shen Xuan thought to herself, it turned out that sister Axiu guessed right, she was really a girl from the Tiantai School.The two share the grilled fish.Li'er's cooking skills are excellent, Shen Xuan only felt that he had never tasted such a delicacy in his life, and said: "You are a little girl, it is strange that your parents let you run around in the mountains and catch fish by yourself." Li'er said: "I don't have parents, and I was with my grandpa since I was a child. Grandpa doesn't care much about me." Shen Xuan was startled when he heard this.He knew very well what it was like to have no father and no mother, but unexpectedly Li'er did the same.After a long silence, he said, "Is your grandfather the head of the Tiantai sect?" Li'er hesitated and said, "That's what other people say. But when I was young, I didn't know the Tiantai sect. When I can remember, there were only my grandfather and me on Tiantai Mountain, and I didn't know what kind of disciples my grandfather had. The house on the mountain Quite a lot. When I grew up and went down the mountain, I heard someone talk about the Tiantai sect, as if my grandfather was really the head of the sect before I was born. But for some reason, he destroyed the sect himself and drove out all the disciples. I just I know, he never goes down the mountain, wanders in the mountains all day long, and sometimes stays behind closed doors, just in a daze, and I don’t see him practicing martial arts by himself. He doesn’t live with me, and often doesn’t see him for a few days, except to teach me Martial arts, he actually doesn’t care much about me.” Shen Xuan asked again: "Then don't you always stay alone, no one takes care of you?" Li'er smiled slightly: "How can someone take care of me? Do I have the good fortune of Yingying? But if I say that I am always alone, that's not true. Sometimes Xueyi will come to accompany me. Brother Shen, after Yingying is married , how are you doing? Where's Sister Axiu?" Shen Xuan said: "They were all fine when I left, sister Axiu was still on the island." Li'er said: "Then why did you run out? I haven't asked you yet, why are you with Qian Dan?" Shen Xuan said: "I didn't know he was the son of Wu Yue at first." Then he told about his acquaintance with Qian Dan.After Li'er heard this, he shook his head and said, "You should avoid him from now on. Princess Wuyue is scheming and vicious, which is rare in the world. Then Qian Dan may not be inferior to her mother. It's too dangerous for you to be with him." Shen Xuan said: "I'm afraid this is not the case. I have known Qian Dan these days, he is just a simple young man, he is a very good man, how can he have any malicious schemes? Although Princess Wuyue is not good, maybe his son is also not good." Li'er sighed: "You always don't know the truth. Do you still think that what Mr. Fan said on the top of Zhongshan yesterday is false?" Shen Xuan remembered hearing Qian Shijun say that Li'er and him "shared the same hatred" last night, and couldn't help but sneer.Li'er asked, "What do you want to say?" Shen Xuan said: "Mr. Fan's words may be true, but they have nothing to do with Zhong Shan's intentions." Li'er was puzzled, Shen Xuan said again: "The beggar gang hosted the meeting, but the gang leader didn't show up, and let people from the Fan family of Jinling preside over it. Who doesn't know that the Fan family has always been related to the Southern Tang royal family, and this time it was just an attempt to convene a meeting. Some forces in the Jianghu are against Princess Wuyue. Wuyue has been an enemy for generations in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty has won more than half of the victory as the princess who overthrew Wuyue Kingdom and took power. As for Princess Wuyue who killed some people in the Jianghu, Nanwulin wants Revenge, that's just an excuse. Fan Dingfeng took advantage of the topic to incite everyone's emotions, so as to work for the Southern Tang Emperor secretly. Before Qian Shijun went to Zhongshan, he lived in Fan's house for a long time, right?" Li'er nodded. Shen Xuan said: "It seems that Qian Shijun is really relying on the emperor of the enemy country to support him to regain the throne. In the future, if Princess Wuyue really falls, Wuyue will have to obey the orders of the Southern Tang Dynasty." After hearing this, Li'er remained silent for a long time, and said slowly, "Brother Shen, I never thought that you could see things in Jianghu so clearly without asking about world affairs." Shen Xuan said: "The world's affairs are generally like this." Li'er said: "Those people like Qian Shijun and Fan Dingfeng have such unbearable intentions, but they can still claim to be righteous. This time, if I hadn't followed Qian Shijun during his illness, I wouldn't have noticed that he was not upright. He was at that time He recognized me as a righteous sister on the Qiantangfu River, and originally wanted me to help him. Later, he took care of me all the way, with superficial concern, but in fact it was just to ask me to pursue something. This thing is related to him killing his enemies and regaining the throne. It was a big deal. But at that time, I lost my memory. I didn’t know where I got that thing. It made him anxious and showed his feet. Only then did I see his intentions. I don’t need to pay attention to them. But Princess Wuyue killed the righteous, Killing innocent people indiscriminately is indeed a big devil." Hearing what she said, Shen Xuan nodded unconsciously. Li'er said: "As for Qian Dan, since you said he is a good person... I hope you don't get it wrong." At noon, Shen Xuan said: "Shall we find a way out?" Li'er stood up as she said, but the sprain on her ankle hadn't healed, and it was still unbearable pain when she walked. Shen Xuan supported her and jumped forward step by step.Her lightness kung fu is very good, and it doesn't take much effort to move like this.But this valley bottom is very strange, full of thorns and strange rocks, and there is no way to follow.The two had no choice but to walk down the stream.After walking for a few miles, I came to a cliff again, and the stream turned into a waterfall and rushed down.The two looked down, and although this cliff was much shorter than the one last night, it was still extremely deep, and they would only die if they fell.But there is a vaguely spacious mountain road below, and Zhongshan can be seen.Li'er sighed: "If I hadn't been injured, I could have gone down this cliff. But now there is no way. Brother Shen, I have to watch you." Shen Xuan smiled wryly: "Li'er, have you forgotten that I hardly know martial arts? Not to mention that I don't have as good lightness kung fu as you." Li'er said, "It's too late to learn now." Shen Xuan was extremely surprised: "When I finish practicing lightness kung fu here, I'm afraid that the two of us will starve to death here. Why don't we find a tree bark and twist a rope." Li'er asked, "Are there any trees here?" Shen Xuan looked around, not to mention trees, not even grass, it was a barren land, probably had no choice but to go back to the original valley to find some bark.While he was pondering, Li'er said: "Don't rub the rope anymore. If you go down now, you will inevitably be discovered, wait until dark. Anyway, it's all right, I'll teach you a few qinggong formulas, and you can practice here. enough." Shen Xuan didn't believe it, but Li'er had already told the formula one by one.Shen Xuan listened to it twice and kept it in his heart.Li'er explained the method of Qiyun Kung Fu one sentence at a time - how to raise Qi and soar, how to change positions and change steps.Shen Xuan is proficient in medical theory, the meridians and acupoints of qigong are familiar by heart, but he has a very high comprehension ability, after talking about it, before Li'er finished explaining, he already understood it by himself.In less than half an hour, a set of lightness kung fu was passed on.Li'er let him try to practice: "This lightness skill was originally used for flying over the eaves and walls, especially for climbing straight cliffs. But now we have to use it to jump off the cliff, because the lightness skill is good, and it can naturally lose weight when going down." Falling is like walking on flat ground. Now you should go to the steepest hill to the west to practice first. If the uphill is no problem, the downhill will naturally not hurt." Shen Xuan walked to the bottom of the cliff, looked up, saw the craggy cliff, and felt startled.He silently recited Li'er's formula, took a deep breath, jumped up, and stepped on the rock wall.He only felt his body falling straight backwards, so he had to use all his strength to stabilize his feet, and jumped up step by step, for fear of falling down.When he regained consciousness, he staggered and rose into the air.He sneaked a look down and found that he had already jumped two feet high, and he couldn't help but be happy.It doesn't matter if he was happy, he immediately lost his breath, his feet loosened and he stepped on the air, and fell straight down.Shen Xuan panicked and unknowingly flipped somersaults in the air.This overturn reduced the fall by more than half, and it was safe and sound when it fell to the ground.Shen Xuan let out a long sigh.Li'er smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad. I know how to save myself when I miss the first time, and I don't have to worry about you. Just keep practicing." Shen Xuan obeyed, climbing up and down over and over again.After more than a dozen times of practice, it has been able to jump to more than ten feet.It's just that the injury he suffered yesterday hasn't healed, so after exerting so much force, his chest inevitably hurts again, and he stood on the ground panting for breath.Seeing this, Li'er threw him another silver pill and said, "The ice scallion silver pill from Tiantai Mountain is also a good medicine for wounds. But one pill a day is too cold, so you have to use your luck to dissipate it after taking it." .” Shen Xuan swallowed the pill, thinking: "I seem to have seen this ice scallion silver pill in some book. It is said that there is a kind of ice scallion in the deep valleys and streams of Tiantai Mountain. Its petals are picked and mixed with more than a dozen flavors. Herbal medicine with a cold nature, processed. It's just that this ice scallion is really rare, and only one or two plants can be found in places where people can't visit, and as long as someone collects herbs in a place, it will never grow again in the future. Planted grass. Its flowers only bloom a few a year. They look like orchids, elegant and fairy-like, but they bloom in the morning and fade in the evening, and they are very short-lived. Therefore, even if you are lucky enough to find ice scallion, it is difficult to meet its flowers. So this ice scallion silver pill is actually a priceless elixir, but I have suffered so much in a row, I really don’t know where the luck came from. It’s always because Li’er treats me well.” Thinking of this, a piece of move.Suddenly felt the icy cold breath in the abdomen like needle pricks, quickly used the method of qigong to dispel the cold in the medical book to move the inner breath, after a while of conditioning, I only felt the pain in the chest slowly melted away, and I was refreshed for a while. He stood up and climbed up the steep wall again. This time, he felt even more light and healthy, and unexpectedly climbed to the top of the slope several tens of feet high.Standing still, she turned her head and saw Li'er waving to him from a distance below, signaling him to jump down.Shen Xuan looked around, it was easy to go uphill and difficult to go downhill, the slope was actually a straight cliff, he didn't feel timid, he recited Li'er's formula silently again, gritted his teeth, and rushed down.I just felt that my body was falling straight down, and I was about to fall down the slope. I didn't dare to give up my strength at all on my feet, and stepped on the rock wall step by step, the steps were faster than the body's fall.The so-called flying over the wall is probably the case.After a while, I finally rushed down the slope, and my heart was still beating wildly.Looking up, Li'er smiled at him with approval all over his face, he suddenly felt a surge of pride, he pulled up his legs and rushed up the slope again. After practicing like this for a few more times, Li'er said: "Okay, let's go down now." The two walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down.Li'er said: "Go down by yourself now." Shen Xuan suddenly asked: "Li'er, I'm going down, what about you?" Li'er said: "You go down, of course I will follow." Your foot is hurt, is it okay?" Li'er blushed.Shen Xuan understood: She naturally wanted to wait for me to go down before jumping down, so that I could catch her underground, but she was too embarrassed to say so.Immediately said: "I'm going down now." Li'er whispered: "Be careful." Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped down to the bottom of the cliff.For a moment, he was like a white crane, skimming over the rock wall, feeling indescribably refreshing.But he didn't dare to slacken his feet for a while, and "flyed" to the bottom of the valley in a blink of an eye, safe and sound.Looking up, Li'er also jumped down.She hurt her foot, and she couldn't stand still. At this time, she only relied on her left foot to jump on the rock wall, her steps seemed to be sluggish, and her figure was shaking.But it still "flies" so far.Finally "suddenly" his left knee gave way and he fell down.Shen Xuan rushed up and stretched out his arms to pick her up.It's just that the fall was so violent that Li'er's body crashed into Shen Xuan's arms, and the two of them fell down together and rolled to one side.Here is also a relatively gentle hillside, and the two rolled straight to the ravine at the bottom of the slope.Seeing that the momentum was unstoppable, Shen Xuan hurriedly hugged Li'er tightly, rolled to one side of a tree on the hillside, hit the root of the tree, and finally stopped.The leaves were shaken and fell, splashing all over the two of them. Shen Xuan was about to push Li'er away, when she suddenly raised her head and looked at him in bewilderment, probably fainted from the fall.Shen Xuan helped her up, and the two leaned against the tree, silently.After sitting for a while, I stood up and walked down the mountain.The night was dark, and there was no one on the mountain road, but from time to time, a few jackdaws suddenly flew up from the withered dead branches.Li'er pulls on Shen Xuan's sleeve, and follows him closely, still hopping with her left foot.Shen Xuan had no choice but to reach out to support her again.I don't know how long I walked, when the mountain road turned around, a large temple suddenly appeared in front of me, with the words "Jiangshan Temple" written on the plaque. Li'er said: "Brother Shen, I'm tired from walking. Shall I rest in this temple tonight?" Shen Xuan said: "That's fine, your foot injury is still unhealed, so you can't go far." Shen Xuan opened the temple door and entered , I saw a faint moonlight shining down, but it was a very neat hall. On the incense table, there were flowers and candles, high incense, pig heads, fruits, etc., and a huge incense burner was placed on the ground, full of incense ash and paper money.It seems that this temple in the mountain has a lot of incense.It turned out that the land of Zhongshan was enshrined in Jiangshan Temple, known as "Jianghou".At the end of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Ziwen, a native of Guangling, served as an official here.Jiang Ziwen, who was brutal in nature, licentious and fond of wine, was beaten to death while chasing thieves under Zhongshan Mountain.When Sun Wu arrived, someone saw him at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain. He claimed to be the land of Zhongshan Mountain and asked the people to build a temple for him, otherwise there would be great blame.At that time, plagues, insect pests, and fires broke out in Wuzhong, and the people were in panic all day long, so Sun Quan made Jiang Ziwen the "Marquis of the Central Capital", built a temple for him under Zhongshan, and sculpted a golden body. Even Zhongshan was renamed Zhongshan for a time. Jiang Shan. There were still some open flames left in the incense burner, so Shen Xuan found a piece of paper money, made a quote, lit a few incense candles, and the hall was suddenly lit up. Looking up at the statue of Marquis Jiang, the python robe and gold belt, the face is like a crown jade, very dignified and mighty, but between the brows, there is still a tyrannical attitude.Thinking about it, the craftsmen who made the statues in those days knew very clearly about this old man who bullied and domineering.Shen Xuan was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Li'er chanting behind his back: "Open the door to Baishui, close to the bridge. My sister-in-law lives alone, without a man." Looking back, Li'er was fascinated by a statue of a young woman next to her.The verse was originally engraved on the stone tablet, and it was the goddess "Little Aunt Qingxi", who was said to be the third sister of Jiang Hou, who died unmarried and was enshrined in the temple at the age of twenty-nine. .Shen Xuan said: "This Miss Qingxi also sang a few other songs." "What is it?" Li'er asked. Shen Xuan was about to read it out, but suddenly felt something was wrong: at this moment, she and I are alone alone late at night, so I told her this because I was afraid it would be provocative.After waiting to find another topic to talk about, I thought: Li'er may not know the song "Fan Shuang", she regards me as her elder brother, but I look forward and backward, on the contrary, she seems to have a ghost in her heart, which makes people look down on her.Immediately read the poem: "The wind blows at sunset, the leaves fall on the branches, the heart is loyal, and the king does not know." Li'er also recited it softly: "At sunset, the wind blows, the leaves fall on the branches, with a loyal heart, worrying about the king's unknown." Shen Xuan felt uneasy, so he could only smile and said, "Li'er, is this Marquis Jiang your ancestor?" Li'er raised her eyebrows, and said strangely: "How do you know my surname is Jiang? I never told you." Immediately remembered that in the valley, Shen Xuan had already mentioned that her grandfather was Tiantai Jiang Tingsong, of course she knew it long ago up.She blushed unconsciously, and said angrily, "Sister Axiu must have told you my name." Shen Xuan said: "I only know that your surname is Jiang, but I have never heard of your name. If you don't want me to know, I don't ask." In ancient times, women's boudoir names should not be easily mentioned to outsiders. Although people in the martial arts are not so secretive, there is no reason to call a young girl by her name casually.What's more, Li'er, as the granddaughter of the head of Tiantai who dominated the Jianghu back then, has a status like a lady of every family, and people in the martial arts are still in awe of her.Therefore, Shen Xuan only heard people call her Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang, and even "Little Demon Girl", but she never mentioned her boudoir name. Li'er hummed softly, but didn't answer.After a while, Shen Xuan found that she was drawing something on the ground with a branch, looked down carefully, but there were two words: "Lingqian". Shen Xuan asked softly, "Your name is Jiang Lingqian?" She nodded, and suddenly found Shen Xuan smiling, she couldn't help being slightly annoyed: "What are you laughing at? Is my name funny?" Shen Xuan shook his head and said: "It's not funny. It's just a girl's family, such a name is very special. It seems, it seems..." Jiang Lingqian said: "Is it the name of a nun?" Shen Xuan just laughed and didn't answer. Jiang Lingqian sighed: "Actually, Grandpa wanted me to become a monk." Shen Xuan asked in surprise, "How could it be?" Jiang Lingqian said: "Do you think he must be reluctant? In fact, I am not his biological granddaughter. He often said that I was thrown by my parents in front of the gate of Guoqing Temple. He only said that I was a boy and was sent to be a monk. , I picked it up, and gave me such a name——Grandpa was good at Buddhism, which is not unusual. Unexpectedly, I found out that it was a girl. When I was young, I always heard from him that girls are the most annoying, ungrateful, married daughters The splashed water and so on, when I grow up to ten years old, he will send me to Zining Nunnery at the foot of the mountain to be a nun, and he will no longer care about me. I was really scared at that time. Later, when my tenth birthday came, He dragged me to Zining Nunnery to get a shave. Unexpectedly, the old nun of the abbot, named Master Wu Chan, quarreled with my grandfather and refused to accept me. The nuns of Zining Nunnery have always disliked grandpa. I wanted to go to their woods for a stroll, but they always drove me away. Grandpa fought with my teacher, and my teacher reluctantly agreed to accept me when I saw that I was no match for my grandfather. As soon as my grandfather left, I Crying and making a fuss, and saying nothing to let them shave my hair. At that time, I was learning martial arts from my grandfather, and I was already on a par with Master Wuchan. Seeing that they couldn't subdue me, they just scrambled Come up, push me down, and lock me into a dark room. I was locked up there for half a month, and I still refused to be a nun. They can’t force people to become monks according to the Buddhist rules. There is no way for the master to take me too. Besides, I didn’t want me at all, so I went to my grandfather and insisted on returning me. After a long time of friction, my grandfather had no choice but to let me go home.” Shen Xuan let out a long sigh: "It's dangerous!" Jiang Lingqian continued slowly: "Fortunately, although there are many temples on Tiantai Mountain, this nunnery is the only one. Grandpa set a strange rule for himself as early as ten years ago, and he refused to go down Tiantai Mountain no matter what. So I can’t even send me to other nunneries, so I had to give up on being a nun gradually, but grandpa ignored me for three full months.” She paused and said, “But that time, Mrs. Wu Chan It’s the first time I’ve heard people call me that. Unexpectedly, when I went down the mountain, almost everyone called me Little Demon Girl behind their backs. It’s really strange.” Shen Xuan saw her talking about the past, although her tone was indifferent as usual, her eyes still showed desolation and loneliness, and she couldn't think of words to comfort her for a while. Jiang Lingqian added: "Actually, Grandpa doesn't really hate me. He is still very kind to me, and sometimes he can even be said to be kind. But he often looks at me, and his eyes change when he looks at me, and he loses his temper. , let me go far away and don’t see him. I think he must have a sad thing hidden in his heart and just vent his anger on me. But grandpa will never keep me. When I was fourteen years old, he planned to kill me Get married." Shen Xuan thought to himself: That is Tang Mulong, right? Jiang Lingqian finally mentioned his marriage. It seemed that he had secrets in his heart. He remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Do you also know that I promised to the Tang family? I don’t want to get married early, but I dare not tell him. I am very anxious. I thought, if it was my biological parents, they would not be in a hurry to force me to go out. Later, I thought, if my biological parents were there, my affairs It can't be all up to grandpa. So, so..." Shen Xuan said: "So you left Tiantai Mountain, wanting to visit your biological parents?" Jiang Lingqian shook his head and said: "Well, not all of them. No matter who it is, it's hard to beat Grandpa. I just feel sad and want to go out for a walk in the rivers and lakes. As for how difficult it is to find my parents, it's just a matter of chance. Alas, my parents may be gone long ago, even if they are alive, they didn’t want me back then and threw me to Guoqing Temple, even if they found me now, what’s the use?” Shen Xuan said: "No. At first they must have had to send you to the monastery. Or, maybe something happened to your family, so that you were separated from your parents. If they see you now, they must be very happy. The world As a parent, how can you not love your own flesh and blood?" Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that my parents' tomb was indeed arched, and there would never be a meeting, so I couldn't help but swallow. Jiang Lingqian stared into his eyes, remained silent for a long while, and suddenly said: "How can I tell you so much about these boring things. I told you my name, but you are not allowed to call me." Shen Xuan smiled and said, "I still call you Li'er." Jiang Lingqian was stunned for a moment, thinking that he should not be called Lingqian. If he really called Miss Jiang, it would be too strange, so he said: "That's good, I'm still Li'er." Shen Xuan found some twigs and straw, laid a cushion in the sheltered place behind the door, put Jiang Lingqian on it to sleep, and lay down in another place far away.It was the second watch at this time. After walking for a day, he was very tired, but he couldn't sleep, thinking about Jiang Lingqian's words, he couldn't calm down for a long time.After tossing like this until midnight, I finally managed to close my eyes.
