The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

Chapter 143 Reciting scriptures at the Dharma Assembly

This night was another nightmare.While tossing and turning, Yuan Cuixiao saw Ding's Kunzhong, Nanxia, ​​Beixia, and the five rats of Xingkong Island gathered under a tall building.Bei Xia stepped forward with a saber, and opened a rich door. Suddenly, a four-clawed golden dragon jumped out of the door, opened its mouth and spit out a ball of fire at the crowd, and the chivalrous men hurriedly dodged.The giant dragon hovered upwards, and suddenly shot a cold arrow from nowhere, hitting the dragon's eye, the dragon roared, opened its teeth and claws, and swooped towards the crowd again.The group of heroes retreated into the building, unexpectedly there was a huge net in the building, Bai Yutang didn't know when, stuck to it, struggling with all his strength, his whole body gradually became bloody.Yuan Cuixiao covered her face, screamed "Brother Mouse", kicked her legs up and sat up suddenly, her ankle hurt, and she woke up instantly.

"Brat, Fat Daddy, Big Brother Zhan..." She counted them one by one on her fingers, and muttered to herself, "Will you all go..." Thinking of this, her heart trembled, and she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

One day later, he still needed to chant scriptures and Buddha, and Chunliu came early to wash, wash and braid her hair.Yuan Cuixiao sat in front of the dressing table, staring straight at herself in the mirror, thinking hard for a long time, her eye sockets were sunken, and her complexion was somewhat dull.Chunliu used a corner comb to dip some osmanthus oil, and gathered all the broken hair from her sideburns to the center of her head, and licked it several times, but with no success. His hair seems to be a little short?"

"Huh?" Recalling the situation where Ding Zhaohui threatened her with a sword in front of the prefect's mansion a few days ago, how much sweetness and how much bitterness rippling away from his heart, Yuan Cuixiao was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and said, "The tip of my hair is split, I asked Xia Chan to trim it off for me."

"Then, I'd like to ask the lady to choose a flower tin to put on." Chunliu took up the dowry, opened the lid of the box, and handed it to Yuan Cuixiao.

Yuan Cuixiao absent-mindedly stretched out her hand to grab it, and accidentally knocked over the dowry, pearls, bracelets and hairpins fell to the ground one after another.

Chunliu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, Yuan Cuixiao came back to his senses, and also bent down to help, apologetically saying: "Oh, I was not careful."

Chunliu buried her head and said, "It's all right."

The dowry box is made of red sandalwood, its texture is hard, and the interior is covered with carpets, even if it falls from a high place, it will not matter.Chunliu turned the box right, and suddenly heard a soft "porphy" sound, the bottom layer of the dowry fell out of a small and exquisite dagger that swallowed a golden-mouthed sharkskin sheath.Chunliu was stunned, picked it up, and slowly brushed the dagger with his fingers.Yuan Cuixiao saw that it was the relic of Hua Chong that she treasured, she hurriedly pulled it out of Chunliu's hand, put it in her sleeve, and said coyly: "Don't move this one."

Chunliu said "yes" in a low voice, turned around, and went to pick up other scattered jewelry.

After dinner, Yuan Cuixiao still took Xia Chan to the Water and Land Ceremony, dazedly holding a wooden fish and beating it in his hand, all he could think about was Peng Qi's appointment.She thought to herself, it is absolutely impossible to go alone, the old monster is obviously coveting her beauty.Can't we sell ourselves for the sake of creating an array?If Mr. Yue went with him, with his temperament, he would not even be allowed to go.But the old monster is about to set off to go back to the mountain for retreat. Without a formation map, wouldn't it be a lot of casualties for all the chivalrous people to break through the level?The nightmare last night seemed to flash back in front of my eyes again. When I was worried, I held a mallet in my right hand, and accidentally hit my left wrist bone hard. "Ouch!" she yelled, her face turning pale from the pain.Xia Chan quickly took her hand and caressed it gently: "Little lady, you should watch it a little bit before knocking!"

Yuan Cuixiao rubbed the sore spot and asked, "How long have we been out?"

Xia Chan thought for a while and said, "It must be two hours?"

Yuan Cuixiao looked up at the sky, her heart was in a mess: noon is approaching, should I go or not...

"Young lady, are you hungry?" Xia Chan asked with concern, "It's not far from the dining room, why don't the servants go and have a look and bring you some refreshments."

Yuan Cuixiao waved his hand: "No need." Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, grabbed Xia Chan and said, "What did you just say? Say it again, and listen to me!"

Xia Chan said strangely: "The servant just asked the little lady if she is hungry."

"What about the back? What did you say about the back?" Yuan Cuixiao asked.

Xia Chan was confused by her question, and replied: "This is not far from the dining room, why don't you go and see it first..."

"That's right!" Yuan Cuixiao tapped the wooden fish excitedly, and thought to himself: Let's go to the other courtyard to have a look first, and the master asked him to follow... She stretched out her hand to grab Xia Chan, and listened to her, " Go to the monk who is copying scriptures at the altar, and borrow a pair of pens and paper."

Xia Chan glanced at her vigilantly, and asked softly, "Little lady, what do you want to do?"

Yuan Cuixiao pushed her and said, "Write a letter to Master, hurry up."

Xia Chan left suspiciously, and in a blink of an eye, took a pair of pens and paper and turned around.

Yuan Cuixiao took it, picked up the pen and ink, and wrote a poem "Xia Yi" by Su Zimei, folded it in two, and handed it to Xia Chan again, saying: "Hurry up and send it to Master Shen's residence, and hand it to him face to face." .”

"This..." Xia Chan seemed to be holding a hot potato, neither throwing it nor taking it.

Yuan Cuixiao urged: "Go! It's late, Master will get angry."

As soon as Xia Chan heard this, she didn't delay any longer, took the writing paper, and left quickly.

Shutong Bieyuan is located at the end of the bamboo grove, Yuan Cuixiao told the master who presided over the Dharma meeting to suspend class, and rushed to him.Arriving outside the gate of the courtyard, she took the head of the shop and knocked a few times, but no one responded, and secretly wondered: Could it be that the old monster has already greased the soles of his feet and slipped away...

Yuan Cuixiao was about to turn around and go back, when the door opened with a "squeak", Peng Qi flashed out from inside, smiled and cupped his hands: "Little lady, I have been waiting for a long time."

Yuan Cuixiao looked intently, almost blinded by Peng Qi's outfit.I saw him wearing a high crown of deerskin on his head, wearing a colorful bird feather cloak, and a dark green belt inside. He was wearing a pair of cloud shoes with a swastika pattern on his feet. You are old, what kind of peacock are you pretending to be? !Blessed Fushen said: "Old Peng, be polite."

Peng Qi held his hand sideways and motioned for her to enter: "Little lady, please."

Yuan Cuixiao thought to herself: I will walk ahead, you will follow behind, what should I do if you give us a sap in the middle... Then she bowed slightly: "Old Peng, please go first."

"Okay, okay." Peng Qi nodded with a smile, put on his gaudy crane cloak, turned around and walked into the courtyard, looking from behind, it looked like a giant Easter egg.

It was early winter, the vegetation was bleak, and there was another sudden hailstorm yesterday. The sycamore tree, which had sparse branches and leaves, was beaten bare, with only a few residual leaves remaining. The withered scene of the courtyard.

Peng Qi held his hand again: "Little lady, please come inside."

Yuan Cuixiao glanced at the main room where the doors and windows were closed, and thought: This old monster is an expert in forming formations, and he doesn't know how many traps are hidden in it... Seeing a corner of the courtyard, there are stone tables and benches, So he walked over, sat down and said: "The sun is very good today, and it is warm and transparent here. Mr. Peng, just sit here."

According to the words, Peng Qi moved to sit opposite him, smiled and said: "Little lady, you really keep the promise."

Yuan Cuixiao put her hands into her sleeves, stroked the dagger left by Hua Chong, summoned up her courage and said, "People don't have faith, they don't know what to do. My reason for coming, I told Elder Peng yesterday in the back garden, I won’t repeat it any more, and I hope that Mr. Peng will not hesitate to make it happen.”

Peng Qi's eyes brightened sharply, he looked at her and said: "This old man has seen countless people in his life, Zhao Jue has the appearance of ascending a dragon. But I don't know, little lady, as a child, why do you want to fight against her?"

Yuan Cuixiao's heart trembled violently, and she turned her face away: "Will you give me the formation map, or not, Mr. Peng, let's have a good talk!"

Seeing that she was heading towards the courtyard gate, Peng Qi was also afraid that the beauty he had tried so hard to lure would run away, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Yes, of course. The little lady wait here for a while, let the old man enter the house to get it."

Yuan Cuixiao turned her face and nodded slightly: "Then it's time to work."

Peng Qi folded into the house, took out a one foot long parchment roll, walked up to Yuan Cuixiao and said: "Little lady, please have a look."

Yuan Cuixiao was inexplicably excited, and was about to reach out to grab it, but Peng Qi hurriedly took two steps back, Xiaoxiao said with a strange smile: "Little lady, wait a minute."

Yuan Cuixiao's hair stood on end from his laughter, but his mind calmed down: Zhao Jue coaxed this old monster down the mountain to set up an army after he promised so many benefits.I can't tell the difference myself, so I have to play around with it and wait until the moment when the master arrives... Thinking of this, I immediately retracted my palms, looked at each other coldly, and stopped talking.

Looking at her expression, Peng Qi had returned to calm from excitement, so he took out a pink silk scarf from the bottom of his sleeve, handed it to Yuan Cuixiao and said: "This piece of precious silk is made of Changbai Mountain's rare ice silk, and it is from the previous dynasty and the late Zhou Dynasty. Take your favorite things with you. The beauty of the little lady is beautiful, and she is the best match for you. The old man has his heart, and I invite the little lady to accept it."

The brains of the old monster are really different from ordinary people, what can we do with something used by a dead person... Yuan Cuixiao took the silk scarf suspiciously, picked up a corner, shook it lightly, and gave off a faint smell of grass and leaves escape.It's broken... The old monster won't put some drug on it... She quickly held her breath, crumpled the precious silk and put it into her sleeve.

Seeing that he had put away the silk scarf, Peng Qi stepped forward, holding the parchment scroll with both hands, and said with a generous smile: "This scroll marks the eyes of the gossip copper net array and all the secret passage organs set up by the old man. Little lady, You can take it now."

Yuan Cuixiao didn't rush to take it, and squinted at him and said, "I don't know if this picture is true or not. If you get a fake one, I'll go back to Mount Sumeru. If so, wouldn't I cry?" There is no place to cry."

Hearing the words, Peng Qi was not worried, stroked his beard and said: "Then what should I do so that the young lady can trust me?"

Yuan Cuixiao thought silently: Master, come quickly, master come quickly...Looking at Peng Qi, he said again: "There is a god standing three feet above your head. If Mr. Peng can swear to the Tianmeng that the formation diagram given to me is correct, I will I believe you."

Peng Qi chuckled: "This old man sincerely presents the map for the little lady. The world can learn from it, the sun and the moon can show it. What's the difficulty in making a vow?" He said, raising his palms to the sky, and said word by word, "Heaven is above. , Gods and ghosts all witness, today I, Peng Qi, enshrine the map of the copper grid array to this little lady, if there is any deception, I am willing to be punished by the heavens, fall into the Asura Prison, and never be reborn." After speaking, his eyes fixed on Yuan Cuixiao's face Come on, earnestly said, "Little lady, this old man has sworn to the Heavenly Alliance, are you satisfied?"

When Yuan Cuixiao listened to this poisonous oath, he believed it a little bit, and said in response: "Don't dare to take it, Old Peng's words are serious."

Peng Qi's eyes flickered, and he handed over the parchment again: "Little lady, put it away."

Yuan Cuixiao reached out to take it, but did not want to touch the scroll, and Peng Qi's palm also covered it.
