Chapter 13: Cross Me
Cheng Ling’s eyes were cross-eyed, and he said excitedly: “This is not the Huo family’s token, why is it here with you?”
Master Liu was at a loss. Then came a look: "Huo family? Which Huo family?"
"Which Huo family in our Jingguo dares to use the four characters 'Tianwei Military Discipline' on the Huo family order?"
Master Liu immediately thought of the old general Huo Tinlei who participated in the pacification of the rebellion and served as the governor of seven counties on the northern border. Later, he made great achievements in battle and was promoted to the general of knights and the general of national protector.
If he hadn't been so old, he would have been the general of Jingguo.
Ke has been in the army as a general for many years. The Huo family has many subordinates and staff, and its network of relationships is far wider than that of today's generals.
Xu Shanshan asked curiously: "Master Liu, didn't you tell Master Liu that when I followed him down the mountain, I unlocked the secret of the black coffin for General Huo?"
Master Liu was stunned: He I said it, but I didn't take it to heart at the time.
He seemed to have enlightened himself again.
Xiaoshan said she didn't need any money, but it wasn't free either.
Now it seems that what she wants is something whose value cannot be measured by money.
The city commander's nostrils slightly widened in excitement: "General Huo is now stationed in the Tianshan area of Longdong. His eldest son Huo Mingxiao is also a tiger father with no dog son. He was named the Marquis of Guannei not long ago. As long as the Huo family is willing to help, We have no problem opening this charity warehouse!”
“The city magistrate took this token and rushed it to Longdong to ask General Huo to help clear the way and solve the problem of Jiangling City’s lack of food relief. . ”
She was reluctant to give up and handed over the Huo family token in her hand to the city order.
The city magistrate was full of piety at this time, and he stretched out his hands tremblingly to take it. The prejudice and anger in his heart disappeared instantly.
Although she was talking nonsense and misleading people, but taking a step back... Didn't he, the city commander, have no fault at all?
Do not distinguish right from wrong and trust others easily.
He said with tears in his eyes: "Little Shan, no, Master Xu, on behalf of the entire Jiangling City, I would like to thank you for your generous help!"
Although he didn't know the origin of this token. It was in her hands, but she was willing to use it for emergency purposes, thus breaking the "bridge" between him and the Huo family. This was undoubtedly a great benefit to him and Jiangling City.
Maomao poked his head out of Xu Shan's sleeves, opened his mouth, and swallowed the sins one by one.
I saw that the black connection between the city order and Xu Shanshan gradually faded away. When the incident in Jiangling City is over, the "evil debt" left by the original owner of the ghost will disappear. eliminate.
Only after this body is "cleaned" can the "Speech and Dharma Sui" be rebuilt. This will give Yushan another layer of security when he returns to the temple and court.
She shook her head: "You don't need to thank me. I will be responsible for the reputation I have created. However, according to the city order, if you need Shan's help in the future, you need to act according to the rules."
Why does this sound so panicking? Is there any fatal trouble he has yet to solve?
"What are the rules?"
Although it may not be necessary, I still want to ask first just in case.
“My rule is to resolve misfortunes and turn disasters into disasters, you must take away something extremely precious from the person seeking the solution.”
“What precious thing?”
Xu Shanshan didn’t want to say much for the time being: “We will discuss this matter again when the city order asks for it.”
You know what’s scariest?
Unknown and ambiguous answers.
He suddenly felt a little afraid to continue the friendly exchange with Xu Shanshan, the weird stickman, oh, no, it was the master. He pretended to look up at the sky and waved his hand.
"It's getting late, I have to hurry up and arrange everything, so I won't keep you. I'll send someone to take you back first..."
I didn't wait for him to call someone, and the whole situation continued. Jiashan, who was silent, spoke up: "City order, let the poor monk go and see them off."
The city order was surprised: "Jiashan, you..."
There was something wrong with Mr. Liu's expression. He didn't pay much attention to the outside world and just walked forward in a daze.
But Xu Shanshan followed the good example and said, "Then Master Lao Jiashan is here."
Seeing that the monk took the initiative, the Taoist nun was happy, so the city order naturally left them alone.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, were covered with indigo bricks and tiles. The fragrance came under the tung trees on North Street. You could see the white walls and red flowers. She suddenly stopped at the quiet forest road.
"Do you have something to tell me?" she asked.
Jiashan said bluntly: "Who are you?" "You just broke off the engagement with your fiancée, and you don't recognize her?"
"You are not Xu Shanshan."< br>
She turned around: "Then who am I in your eyes?"
Jiashan looked at her with a calm expression: "The face can change, the temperament can change, and even the whole person can change, but there is only one thing that cannot be changed from birth, and that is anger."
"Can you watch Qi?" Xu Shanshan was surprised.
It seems that he is really born to practice Buddhism. At such a young age, he can understand the meaning of Zen and the art of looking at Qi.
Jiashan asked: "What is Guanqi?"
"Guanqi is..." She approached him step by step, her voice deep and sinister: "That's it."
< br>
A cold, slender finger touched his forehead, and immediately before Jiashan's eyes, it was like a strong wind passing through the forest, roaring and whistling, and the waves of air were colorful, taking him into another strange world.
The eyes are no longer eyes, they are just a container for transmission, which has set off a unique interpretation in front of his eyes.
While he was stunned, Xu Shanshan frowned in confusion.
She was not quite right from the beginning.
Especially when she was so close to him, the "qi" in his body kept tempting her. Xu Shanshan had always resisted "doing something" to him, even though she was very "heart, liver, spleen and lung" at this time. Greedy for him.
"Maomao, what is this?" she asked the parrot.
After feeling it, Maomao said: "Shan, your body is 'dry' too much, and he is so moist and juicy. Isn't it normal for you to be greedy for him?"
"... You described it very concretely, but don’t describe it randomly next time.”
During the spiritual dialogue between Xu Shanshan and the parrot, Jiashan finally came to his senses.
“What are you going to do?”
The two people's eyes were facing each other, with the tips of their noses almost touching each other. One's superior long eyelashes could touch the other's even if they brushed lightly.
The corner of Xu Shanshan's mouth was slightly opened with a smile, and he took a step back: "Look at me again, is it Xu Shanshan?"
Jiashan was attracted by her words, and at this glance, he saw the colorful air flow but She was instantly surrounded by black energy all over her body. Those "black energy" seemed to possess overwhelming malice, death and chaos...
He was instantly mute.
A long time.
His voice was low and dark.
"You are Xu Shanshan."
Of course, this body belongs to the original owner and she can release it at will.
Although he intuitively believed that she was fake, she used "real evidence" to convince him that she was the original owner.
“Have you seen the qi on my body?” Xu Shanshan’s eyes were pure and harmless, and he smiled: “I heard that Master Jiashan is a great benevolent person who saves all sentient beings. I did do many wrong things in the past. I have a lot of bad karma, but now I want to change my ways and start a new life. Can you help me?”
He lowered his eyes as if in pity, full of compassion for the common people, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this kindness and generosity also seemed to be a little calm and cool.
“The poor monk only prays for those who have a predestined relationship with the Buddha.”
Is this a rejection? She raised her eyes slightly.
Meow——!
At the same time as a shrill meow sounded, a flexible black shadow suddenly jumped from above his head: "Be careful."
Before Jiashan could even raise his head, he was pulled close to a soft and warm body, and an arm was waved away for him: "It's a black cat, it seems to be in heat, so violent."
Jiashan Cong Before he was so close to the woman, the other party put an arm around his waist, and put her palm against his warm skin, stroking her palm in a subtle way...
Her eyes slid to He looked straight at her: "Are you okay?"
Jiashan: I suspect she has ulterior motives.
Shan: Aren’t I trying to catch you?
