Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 98

[Chapter 67: “Two More in One” Ling Jie may be able to cross…]

Duan Qingying was wrapped in a cape, wore a drapery hat on her head, and her hands were tightly twisted together, looking a little uneasy.

Seeing Lin Chengyou come out, she immediately put down her hands and calmly stepped forward to salute: “Disturbing shizi.”

Lin Chengyou had previously checked the female guests who attended the banquet today at the Yuzhen Female Crown Temple, and knew that this person was the daughter of the Duan family.

Duan Qingying said respectfully: “This time I ventured to come here because I wanted to inquire about something with Shizi, just now my aunt brought someone to send off the clothes, saying that my pregnant cousin is going back to Hongzhou recently (Note 1), only because these days the government has come to check the pregnant women, the cousin and cousin-in-law have been slow to leave, I heard that Shizi is in charge of this case, and people happen to be in the temple, so I came to ask Shizi for my cousin, can they leave Chang’an recently, and whether they should be more careful on the road.”

Lin Chengyou said, “No matter how careful you are, it is useless, in order to be safe, it is best to wait until after this matter has passed.”

Duan Qingying hesitated: “But I heard that the murderer has been caught by the Dali Temple, and it is reasonable that there will be no more pregnant women who will be victimized–do you still need to be so cautious?”

Lin Chengyou did not talk. This sounds like deliberately inquiring about the progress of the case.

Duan Qingying explained busily: “My cousin’s body is getting heavier and heavier, and I am afraid that it will not be good to drag it out again, my cousin and cousin-in-law are in a hurry to leave, and I and Ah Niang can’t help but follow my heart…”

And smiled: “Thank you Shizi for your doubts, I will ask my cousin not to leave.” Saying

a salute, he bid farewell and left.

Lin Chengyou rushed to several retinues not far away and beckoned.

The retinue approached and bowed their hands in unison, “Shizi.” “Where is

the slave?”

“Send Junnu back to the palace.”

“You should inquire about the Duan family’s recent arrival of a pregnant cousin, who is said to have come from Hongzhou and has recently been anxious to leave Chang’an. In addition to the Zhenguo Gongfu, the two brothers of the GuoGong’s mansion also inquired clearly, whether there was such a relative or not, they would call me back within half an hour.

“Yes.”

Not long after, the entourage came back and forth: “The Duan family is now living with a pregnant cousin, saying that it is the niece of The Second Lady of Duan, who accompanied her husband to Chang’an to take the examination last year, and the two sons have been living in duan mansion for almost half a year. After the fetus was stable, the two sons were going to leave for Hongzhou two days ago, and when they met Wu hou to check on the pregnant women, they did not dare to leave.

This is exactly the same as what Duan Niangzi said, according to this point of view, Duan Niangzi came to ask a few words for her cousin, which is also the common sentiment of people, Lin Chengyou thought about it for a moment and nodded: “Got it.” There were

a lot of scrolls in the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet, and it was quite difficult to find one scroll, so the three brothers had a hard time finding the relevant scriptures of the Shuluo Dao, and when they opened it, most of them were in Sanskrit.

The Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom were dumbfounded, but they did not know a single Sanskrit, and although the Master and Brother knew a little Sanskrit, it was impossible for them to read such a thick sutra.

Lin Chengyou was in a hurry to investigate the case, and he couldn’t wait for a moment, remembering that Ming Tong was a great monk in the temple who was specially responsible for guarding the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet, so he found Ming Tong: “Don’t you have a sub-volume that has been translated and annotated?” Ming Daotong: ”

There are more than 600 Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures in the temple, and only more than seventy have been translated so far (Note 2), and the remaining scriptures have only been translated and annotated with the title of the scrolls for the time being.” However, the abbot has already explained that it is a matter of descending demons, and it must not be delayed, the poor monk has already made arrangements, and these days he and a few disciples are now helping to translate and copy. Now that the entire western wing of the temple is empty, Shizi may wish to live in the temple, and if he finds any clues, the poor monk can also inform Shizi in time. ”

Living in the temple? Lin Chengyou immediately smiled, “Then there is Master Luo Mingtong.” But I don’t have to live in the temple, just let my two disciples live down these days, and the abbot can come back? I went to the front to talk to his old man for a few words before leaving.

Outside, Xiao Shami came in and said, “There is a guard who calls himself Duanfu who came to look for two trail chiefs.” ”

Duanfu?

The Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom put down the scroll and ran out.

“Uncle Duanfu?”

Duan Fu said, “Please borrow a step to speak.”

Without a word, he led the two to the side, making sure that no one around him spoke: “My lady has something important to tell the son of the world, but the people in the temple have many eyes, so they have to ask the two trail chiefs to relay on their behalf, some things have to be indicated to their faces, and the trail chief knows at a glance that it concerns those three cases, and it will not be possible to wait for tomorrow.” If the two trail chiefs can take the time, please come to Li Baixuan in the east wing tonight,”

Said Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi busily, “Good, but we have to hurry up to help copy the translated scriptures, and when we are idle, it will be very late, but as soon as we are free, we will go looking for Lady Teng.” Duan

Fu responded and left on his own.

Absolute Saint and Renunciation Zhi were also preparing to return to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and when they turned back, they saw Master and Brother standing on the steps looking at them, but as soon as they ran over, Master Brother took care of himself and went down the steps.

“Brother Master—”

Lin Chengyou looked ahead and asked as if inadvertently, “What is Teng Yuyi looking for you?” The

Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom whispered about the matter of Fang Cai.

“Do you have something important to tell me?”

“That’s what he said, and he only knew it when he saw it in person, and he also said that it was best to tell Master and Brother tonight, but the people in the temple had many eyes and miscellaneous eyes, so they could only entrust us to tell them.”

Lin Chengyou secretly wondered, since it was a matter of urgency, Teng Yuyi was not afraid of the Absolute Saint and renunciation of wisdom when he missed a few words?

But her concerns were not unreasonable, there were many people living in the temple now, and if she saw him privately, who knew what trouble she would cause.

“Where does she live?”

“Pear Baixuan in the east wing.” Ren Zhi was surprised, “Is Master Brother going to see Lady Teng?” How is that

possible? This was the Great Hidden Temple, Andi Washi was only nine years old, and it didn’t hurt to walk around the temple, instead of him going to see Teng Yuyi, just to clean up all the eyes and ears around him was enough for him to think a lot.

“You will tell me when the time comes, remember to find Teng Yuyi as soon as possible, and also, you had better remember what she said, and don’t miss a word.” Lin Chengyou said, “By the way, you should eat dinner with Master Mingtong, and Master Brother will not help you get food.” Victory

and Abandonment sighed.

After saying this, Lin Chengyou went to find the abbot of Yuanjue.

The abbot’s Zen room is located in the west courtyard of the temple, the courtyard has both flower docks and medicinal beds, everywhere flowers and trees are beautiful, everywhere green color is compelling, Lin Chengyou has no intention of appreciating the scenery, straight through the courtyard to the eaves of the porch, do not pay attention to see Teng Shao in the Zen room.

The window of the Zen room was wide open, and a pot of incense was quietly burning on the threshold by the window, and Teng Shao and the abbot of Yuanjue sat opposite each other on the seat in front of the window, and the two seemed to have a good conversation.

The slanting sun of dusk reached into the window, enveloping their bodies in an orange halo.

Teng Shao’s voice drifted out of the window intermittently.

“Since accidentally drowning on the way back to Chang’an, the little girl has frequently encountered evil spirits, not only that, but at night there are often nightmares, to say that it is a wronged ghost, but through the appearance of the five Dao of Shizi and Dongmingguan, there is nothing wrong. This matter is too unusual to say, Teng Mou is worried… Abbot Mo wants to see the smile, this child is five years old and unkind, there are no brothers and sisters around, these years are lonely, Teng Mou consciously owes this child a lot…Lin Chengyou’s

footsteps stopped, he didn’t want to hear these words, but his ears were superior, could it be that Teng Yuyi was still dreaming at night? There is a small sword to suppress evil, and it is not so…

Then again, Teng Yuyi seems to rarely presuppose her grandfather, she lost her mother at the age of five, she should have a deep affection for her grandfather, and she does not often mention her grandfather, because Teng Shao is rarely in the palace…

Just as they were thinking about it, the monks under the eaves saw Lin Chengyou and bowed down and said, “Shizi.”

Teng Shao looked slightly shaken, and immediately turned his head to look out the window, and when he looked down, he got up from his seat and strode towards Lin Chengyou.

“Teng Mou listened to the next person say that today the little girl was abducted by that evil creature, and all relied on the son of the world to save him-”

He strides like the wind, his tone is earnest, and when he comes closer to speaking, Na Tou will perform the “dunshou” gift.

Although Lin Chengyou did not have much contact with Teng Shao, he was very familiar with his people and his affairs, in the temple, Teng Shao was the heart of the imperial family, and in the battlefield, this person was a general who was strong against the Ten Thousand Armies, and on the basis of generations, Teng Shao was also a well-deserved predecessor.

Such a great ceremony was too solemn, he raised his arms, firmly fixed Teng Shao’s arm, and said: “General Teng’s words are serious, a certain person has been taught by his grandmother and his master since childhood, and he has long regarded the exorcism of demons as a matter of duty, and today the evil demons endanger the people of Chang’an, how can my generation stand idly by, General Teng does not need much courtesy.” Today, thanks to the timely arrival of the abbot of Yuanjue, otherwise the strength of the juniors alone would not be enough to resist such evil demons.

Teng Shao’s expression was extremely solemn: “Shizi is too humble.” Last time, the little girl was entangled by those two monsters, all thanks to Shizi’s planning, such a difficult evil demon, if it were not for Shizi’s wisdom, how could it be successfully eradicated, Teng Shao had long cherished the heart of repaying kindness, but he had never found an opportunity. This time he was saved by the son of the world, and this grace is like a reconstruction, but in the future, it is useful to get somewhere in Teng, and Teng is willing to do the work of dogs and horses. Teng Shao was

deep and heavy-handed, and rarely showed his joy and anger on his face, but when he said these words, the color of gratitude overflowed into words, and it could be seen that the sentences came from the heart.

Lin Chengyou refused to accept the gift, in addition to feeling that it was unnecessary, there was also a strange feeling in his heart. He and Teng Yuyi were also acquaintances, and who had let his friend’s grandfather perform such a great gift for himself.

However, Teng Shao insisted on making a big offering, at this time, the abbot of Yuanjue flicked the chessboard with the wide sleeves of his robe, and smiled: “You’er’s master taught him these skills, the original intention was to let him help correct the evil, and he was able to save Ling Jie many times, because he had his own fate in the underworld.” General Teng didn’t need much courtesy, and he didn’t want to torment the juniors. The

abbot of Yuanjue spoke, and Lin Chengyou refused to let go, so Teng Shao had to give up for the time being, thinking in his heart, the abbot’s so-called “fate in the underworld” could not mean that Ayu could be killed into Xiang.

When Lin Chengyou came forward to give the abbot a salute, he also sat back at the table, in addition to his gratitude, he also secretly said that Lin Chengyou’s internal strength was high, Lin Chengyou was the eldest son of the king, and he had just turned eighteen this year, and he could have such an internal strength, in addition to the oral teachings of famous teachers since childhood, the talent should also be far better than ordinary people. Such a talent was secretly calculated by a military officer.

After Yu’er confessed to him last night, he made up his mind overnight, and when he got up early this morning, he rushed back to Xiying to instruct his confidants to act secretly, and King Cheng listened to the message he brought, whether he believed it or not, he would definitely pay attention to the people around his son, but after all, this matter happened three years later, and that person was a soldier in the army, how could he find out who it was in advance.

Once the time has passed, it is inevitable that it will be taken lightly.

Do you want to remind Lin Chengyou in person now?

But even if Lin Chengyou is accustomed to seeing gods and ghosts, how can he believe in a dream of others? Before the daughter came to Chang’an, she had no contact with Lin Chengyou, and suddenly dreamed of Lin Chengyou, which was unbelievable, if the words were improper, in case of any misunderstanding, it would not be good.

The abbot remembered the topic just now: “General Teng, the matter of Ling Jie-”

Lin Chengyou smiled: “The juniors did not come by chance, General Teng took a moment, and the juniors said a few words to the abbot and left.”

Teng Shao had already thought about how to remind Lin Chengyou, so he said, “Don’t worry.” Last time when dealing with the two monsters, Shizi probably had already heard about it. Abbot, Teng Mou does not know anything about the underworld, the little girl is suddenly haunted by evil spirits, will it be related to her drowning?

Lin Chengyou casually flipped through a scripture scroll and sniffed the words in his hand.

The abbot of Yuanjue sighed for a moment, “Do you remember where Ling Ji fell into the water?”

Teng Shao was frustrated, although he had already investigated this matter, he did not think that this matter would have anything to do with his daughter’s abnormality.

“The little girl drowned on the way to Chang’an, and there was a Buddhist temple on the shore at that time, called Bodhi Temple…”

Speaking of this, Teng Shao’s face darkened, when he took Hui Niang back to Yangzhou, he had passed by this Buddhist temple, when Ayu was four years old, but somehow, Hui Niang was always worried about her heart during that time, Ayu was lively and active, staying in the cabin for a long time was boring, so she ran around on the deck, and Hui Niang captured Ayu back to the cabin to teach her daughter to study… Seeing that the plum blossoms in the temple were blooming well, Hui Niang was overjoyed and told him that she was going to the temple to enjoy the flowers and incense.

It was rare to see his wife so interested, and he immediately ordered the ship to be moored ashore. In the evening, Hui Niang said in his ear, she made a wish in front of the Buddha when she drew lots, he smiled and asked what it was, but Hui Niang smiled and did not say, only raised a hand, gently pressed against his face, that tender watery look, still vivid and touchable.

Teng Shao shook his head, only a year after that incident passed, Hui Niang died of illness, he broke his heart and liver every day, everything about this Buddhist temple slowly faded in his memory, if it were not for Ayu’s drowning, Cheng An and others would not have known that his daughter was drowning near that Buddhist temple.

Listening to Cheng An and Duan Fu said that on that day, Ayu also saw that the plum blossoms of the Buddhist temple were blooming well before going ashore to play, but when he landed on the shore, his feet accidentally slipped and fell into the water at once, fortunately, Duan Fu immediately fished up Yu’er.

After hearing about this, for a moment, he wishfully believed that Hui Niang was protecting Yu’er under the spring, but as long as he calmed down and thought about it, he knew that everything was just a coincidence.

He detailed the events of the day.

Yuanjue asked again, “I heard that Ling Jie suddenly got a spirit sword, and did she get it on her way back to Chang’an?”

Teng Shao bowed his head: “It is exactly what I got back.”

After Duanfu and Cheng Bo returned afterwards, the two of them had just fished Ayu out of the water and found that Yu’er was holding a sword tightly in her hand.

Duan Fu and Cheng Bo thought that this sword was ominous, and threw this sword back into the water on their own initiative, how to know that as soon as the sword left her hand, Yu’er began to have a high fever, and she screamed continuously during the day, as if she was entangled in nightmares.

Several of the old ladies accompanying the ship were frightened in the cabin, saying that the evil spirits around them seemed to have all been led to the ship at once, and they could see ghosts coming and going in and out of the cabin in the daytime.

Cheng Bo had seen many strange things in the army in his early years, and after consulting with several big stewards, he had to drive the boat back to the same place and let Duan Fu, who had the best water properties, go into the water to fish the sword back, strangely, the hull of the ship had obviously traveled for several miles, but Duan Fu had caught this sword in the water, as if the sword had been waiting for them in the water.

As soon as the sword returned, the ghosts on the ship disappeared, and the daughter’s high fever also receded.

In the evening, people are completely unharmed.

Lin Chengyou’s heart was slightly different, it turned out that xiao ya sword came this way, Teng Yuyi must have felt that this sword came strangely, everyWhen asked about the origin of this sword, they all lied that it was a relic left to her by Ah Niang.

Yuan jue said, “If it comes, it is safe, such an ancient artifact can never choose its owner at will, and since it recognizes Ling Yan as its master, it has its own reasons.” Teng Shaoyi said, “The

abbot is right.

“As for why Ling Jie has been wronged recently…” The abbot of Yuanjue was silent for a moment, “With Lao Gong’s clumsy eyes, I can’t find out the reason, but I only listened to General Teng Fang talk about Ling Jie’s birthday eight characters, and my fate is not like someone who can die well…”

As soon as these words came out, Teng Shao and Lin Chengyou changed their faces at the same time.

Teng Shao lost his voice, “How do you say this?” The

abbot of Yuanjue calmly looked at Teng Shao: “Ling Jie was born to bring robbery, and judging from Ling Jie’s recent encounters, it seems that he has reached the age of robbery.” However, Lao Gong looked at Ling Jie’s face, and unlike a person who was blessed with a thin fortune, why there would be a disaster in his life, Lao Gong was also very confused. According to Lao Gong, the Mandate of Heaven cannot be violated, so that Concubine only needs to act according to fate… If she can meet someone who is related to her, she may be able to help her survive this disaster, and this disaster will make her happy and long-lived.

Teng Shao and Lin Chengyou came out of the Meditation Room, teng Shao stood in front of the steps, watching the last slanting sun in the sky hidden into the dark vault, his heart was like a surging wave, and he could not calm down for a moment.

“Why did Ling Jealous suddenly have a disaster, and Lao Gong was also very confused.”

He pondered this sentence back and forth, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

Could it be that with…

He didn’t dare to think deeply.

I can only try to comfort myself, since the abbot said “follow the fate”, Yu’er should be blessed, otherwise why would she have a small sword that can suppress evil out of thin air after falling into the water. This sword has a very good meaning, and may be able to help Yu’er escape the disaster.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a thought in his mind, his daughter was so related to the Bodhi Temple, whether he was a father or not to go to the temple to put incense on the pillars, if the abbot was still there, would he remember the Hui Niang who made a wish in the temple.

Lin Chengyou also seemed to be out of his mind, teng Shao suppressed the worries in his heart, turned to Lin Chengyou and said: “Shizi, Teng has something to tell.”

He told Lin Chengyou about the dream, but replaced the dreamer with himself.

Lin Chengyou’s face became strange, not to mention how absurd the content of this dream was, why Teng Shao would dream of him for no reason.

Teng Shao naturally could not say that his daughter dreamed of Lin Chengyou, but this matter was extremely strange, and looking for other words was deliberately suspected, so he had to lie: “Shizi Mo feels that this matter is ridiculous, Teng Mou does not often dream, but every dream is extremely magical, if there are treacherous and evil people around him, it can be said that it is invincible, and it does not hurt for Shizi to leave a god.” The more Lin Chengyou pondered

, the more he felt that this matter was strange, Teng Shao did not look like a person who would take a strange dream to heart, so solemn, would there be other reasons…

He pondered for half a moment and said, “Thank you General Teng for reminding me that the juniors will pay more attention.” But

he saw Duanfu coming towards him.

When he got closer, Duan Fu first respectfully saluted Lin Chengyou, and then said to Teng Shao, “Niangzi wants to see the old master.”

Lin Chengyou smiled when he saw this, and said, “General Teng, the juniors will take a step first.” As he walked

, he thought that when Teng Yuyi had just ordered Duan Fu to find him, he also said that it should be an extremely important matter to see him in person, and he did not know that absolute sainthood and renunciation of wisdom could not bring the whole word. If you miss a few words, wouldn’t you be a big mistake?

Thinking like this, he looked up at the direction of the east wing, and the east wing also had other little ladies, and it was too much trouble to see Teng Yuyi. Besides, the Absolute Saints and the Renunciation of Wisdom are now so big that they will not be able to do such things.

All the way to the temple gate, before getting on the horse, a cold thought popped up in his head, absolute sainthood and abandonment of wisdom and irritability, really may not be able to do a good job, do you want to… Just thinking about it in his head, he first felt ridiculous, and then he was still in a hurry to interrogate Zhuang Mu, who had time to pay attention to such trivial matters, so he turned over on his horse and went to Dali Temple.

***

Tonight the moon is as silver as silver, Teng Yuyi has already prepared wine and dishes, sitting at the stone table under the pear tree of Pear Baixuan, and waiting for news with Sister A while admiring the moon.

Ne Knew to wait and go, neither waiting for Grandpa, nor seeing the Absolute Saint and renunciation of wisdom.

Grandpa had already said that he was looking for the abbot of Yuanjue, and today, at this moment, he may still be talking to the abbot of Yuanjue, and Duanfu said that the Absolute Saint and renunciation of wisdom are busy in the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet, and they don’t know when they will be finished.

I overheard movements coming from the Xuanpu Pavilion next door, and after a while, Chun Rong entered the courtyard with a surprised face and said, “Strange, the two trail chiefs obviously came over, and turned to the next yard to find Li Sanniang.” Du Tinglan wondered

, “Did the two trail chiefs go by themselves, or did the people around Li Sanniang invite them?” “The

chief of the trail went by himself, and I heard that I wanted to return Li Sanniang’s pen.” Peng Da Niang heard that the two trail chiefs had come, and they also came out of the house, and in the blink of an eye, they set up a table of good things, looking like they wanted to leave the two trail chiefs for dinner in the house.

Bi Luo listened and smiled, “The two trail chiefs are really welcome.” ”

Then wait a little longer.” Teng Yuyi looked down at the wine cup in his hand, “I have waited for such a long time, and I am not in a hurry at this time.” The

author has something to say: Hongzhou: present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi.

In the Tang Dynasty, Guangzhou, Hongzhou, Yangzhou, Luoyang, and Chang’an were all very prosperous commercial ports, and the Persian merchants of Hongzhou were repeatedly mentioned in the Taiping Guangji.
