402 Troops(1/2)
Chen Qianchen didn't say anything, and Gu Jue didn't say anything, and the pavilion fell into a silent silence.
Outside the pavilion, the sunlight casts mottled light and shadow on the ground through the filtering of layers of bamboo leaves. The wind suddenly becomes bigger and the light and shadow sways, as if a monk is chanting the scriptures, as if there is something and nothing.
There is an inexplicable solemnity in the atmosphere.
But Chen Qianchen was a little nervous, always feeling that something outside her control was about to happen soon, and there was not much time left for her.
Her mind once again heard what Master Juehui said in the early February: "Honor Husband's death disaster has only been resolved halfway."
In other words, Gu Jue's life still has a disaster, or a death disaster!
Several months have passed, and the words that Master Juehui said have been engraved in Shen Qianchen's heart, and from time to time I think of her that she has never let go.
In her previous life, she did not believe in ghosts and gods. It was not until she was lucky enough to be reborn that she changed her mind, began to believe in Buddhism, and began to be respectful of some mysterious and mysterious things.
Since there is her rebirth and an alien like Chu Qianhuang in this world, there will be masters like Master Juehui who knows the past, knows the future, and even understands ghosts and gods.
Gu Jue also knew that Chen Qianchen was thinking about this matter, so he always comforted her and said:
"Everyone in the world believes in fate, and I believe in it, but I don't accept it."
"I believe in myself and you, and we can change our destiny against the will of heaven."
Yes. Whether it was Gu Jue or her, they were all changing their destiny step by step, step by step, taking a different path from their previous lives.
It can be seen that human destiny is not static.
If Gu Jue refuses to accept his fate, then she will follow him and refuse to accept his fate.
Chen Qianchen stared at Gu Jue who was feeding fish in a daze. After a while, the wind stopped and she came to her senses. The pine nut in her mouth had completely melted, leaving only a faint sweet fragrance in her mouth.
She picked up a pine nut from the oil paper bag through the veil, stuffed one into his mouth first, and then ate another one by herself.
Gu Jue smiled slightly, his eyes softly, and asked, "Are you hungry?"
His voice was less cold and less common because of the sugar in his mouth.
Gu Jue was born in the royal family and the rules in the palace were strict. He developed the habit of "don't eat or sleep" since he was a child. If he were the past, he would never speak with sugar in his mouth. During the years of war in the north, Gu Jue changed a lot and grinded away some of his delicateness, but some habits have not changed. According to Qin Yao, Gu Jue seems to be unspecified, but in fact he is very particular.
But now, Gu Jue is a little different in front of her.
Chen Qianchen likes such a "different" Gu Jue and smiles with a bent lips.
She was about to speak when a goldfish in the pond suddenly jumped up from the water. The goldfish swung its tail and water droplets to draw a beautiful arc on the water surface, and then fell into the water with a "thump". The sound seemed to say, they were hungry.
Chen Qianchen laughed out loud, with a bright smile. She also grabbed the broken butterfly pastry and threw it into the pond.
"Not hungry," she said with a smile, "But I'm thirsty, let's go to the front to ask for a glass of water."
The reason why she said this was actually because she heard a monk outside the bamboo forest talking to Jingfeng, and the elder of Baiyun Temple, Master Yuande, invited them to the Main Hall.
Gu Jue stood up and stretched out his hand to Chen Qianchen. Chen Qianchen held his hand, and the two walked out of the bamboo forest holding hands.
The monk apologized for a Buddhist ceremony, expressed his guilt, and said that because the abbot was not in the temple, the matter in the temple was temporarily presided over by Master Yuande, etc.
The monk had to look for other pilgrims, so he left hurriedly and ran to other wing rooms without saying a few words.
"Let's go." Gu Jue and the others walked against the monk and walked towards the direction of the Main Hall. Jingfeng and Jiang Yuan followed behind them like shadows.
At this moment, Baiyun Temple is more empty and quieter than usual. Along the way, they only occasionally saw a few pilgrims rushing towards the Mainland Hall.
Chen Qianchen held Gu Jue's hand tightly, and his chaotic mood gradually became calmer and his starry eyes were bright.
It's already very good!
In this life, they met earlier than the previous life and made a better self. Now they are together well, and they will be fine in the future.
Even if Gu Jue's fate will be another disaster, they can still change their fate against the will of heaven.
Moreover, a person's life is short and long for decades. No one can guarantee that he will be smooth and peaceful for a lifetime.
Chen Qianchen turned his head, looked at Gu Jue and smiled, then moved his eyes down, unable to help looking at his chest, landing on the scar.
If Gu Jue really had such a death disaster, then his death disaster in his previous life was this secret injury and poisoning.
The fragment of the arrow buried in his chest was the main cause of his continued weakness. However, if it weren't for the poisoning, he would have lasted for another year. Maybe his master Lin Miao in his previous life would have a chance to cure Gu Jue.
Chen Qianchen will never forget the pain that Gu Jue's death brought to her in his previous life. At that time, even if she was allowed to live ten years, as long as Gu Jue could only live one or two more years, she would be willing to do so.
Chen Qianchen's eyes were still staring at Gu Jue's left chest.
Through her clothes, she naturally couldn't see the scar at this time, but she remembered the location of the scar very clearly.
Until today, she still clearly remembers all the steps and details of her surgery to remove the fragment on him on the second day of the first lunar month. Even when she occasionally dreams of this scene at midnight...
When she woke up from her dream, she would quietly put her hand on his chest and feel his heartbeat.
Chen Qianchen subconsciously shook Gu Jue's hand again, and once again told himself in his heart that she had succeeded and she had taken out the fragment that shouldn't have existed in his body!
Therefore, if you remove this factor, then "toxicity" is left.
If Gu Jue had half of his death, would it be this poison?
Chen Qianchen didn't know when Gu Jue was poisoned in his previous life. At that time, when Su Mubai and his friends found their master Lin Miao. When Lin Miao explored Gu Jue's veins, the corpse poison in Gu Jue's body had already invaded his heart veins and the medicine stone was gone.
She didn't give up and started studying medicine.
Gu Jue picked her up and saved her life; what changed her was studying medicine.
Before studying medicine, she was a person who was easy to give up. In order to save Gu Jue, she learned to persevere. No matter how hard, hard or boring she persisted, and wanted to treat it as twenty-four hours every day.
Not only did she learn the medical skills of the Central Plains with Lin Miao, but she also asked people to search for many medical books and miscellaneous books in the surrounding countries.
However, fate taught her a very cruel lesson. No matter how hard she tried, she could not save Gu Jue.
Chen Qianchen couldn't help but want to take Gu Jue's pulse, wanting to be sure that Gu Jue is not poisoned now. After hesitating, his fingers still didn't slid on his wrist, and thought to himself: Let's talk about it after returning to the palace.
The two of them walked leisurely, and walked past a row of sycamore trees in the wind, and the magnificent Main Hall appeared in front of them.
The closer you get to the Main Hall, the more chaotic it becomes, the mess is getting around.
They could see that the gate of the temple was reinforced by monks with wooden sticks and wooden boards. There were two monks looking uneasily at the foot of the mountain.
Most of the pilgrims have gathered in the Great Hall, including men, women, young and old, ordinary people, officials and merchants. Their lives should not be close to each other, but now they are trapped in the same place because of bandits surrounding the temple, and they are incompatible with each other.
Most of these people are from the capital. They have always been peaceful around them. They have never encountered such a thrilling thing in their lives. They are mostly worried.
An uneasy atmosphere filled the air.
The monks were still comforting the restless pilgrims in the Mainland Palace: "Please don't worry, someone has already gone down the mountain to report to the official. Don't act rashly."
However, the monks' majesty was not enough, and the pilgrims shouted and questioned:
"Master, the bandits are not familiar with the terrain here, so we should hurry down the mountain and escape from the back mountain!"
"Yeah yeah."
"The bandits kill people without blinking. I see that the temple gate is not reliable at all. If the bandits break into the door, we will be miserable!"
"Isn't this sitting here waiting to die?"
“…”
The uneasiness and doubts seemed to be contagious. The more the pilgrims spoke, the more they became more and more nervous. Their faces turned pale and frightened. They looked towards the gate of Baiyun Temple from time to time, as if they were afraid that the gate would be broken from the outside in the next moment.
When Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen appeared outside the Main Hall, they attracted several curious gazes. After all, looking at their clothes, dress and their whole body temperament, you can tell that the couple is not ordinary people.
Several secret guards who had been hiding invisible appeared. One of the bearded guards walked up to Gu Jue with his head held high and said with a fist: "Jiu Master, the bandits are about to be outside the temple. The troops are divided into three groups, blocking the main gate, and the other two groups encircled Baiyun Temple from both sides."
The pilgrims also heard it, were shocked and even more frightened.
Gu Jue calmly took out a token from his sleeve and ordered: "Let me go to the Three Thousand Battalions to dispatch troops."
Torch troops?!
The pilgrims were shocked again, but this time it was not a horror, but a surprise.
Since this noble young man has the ability to transfer troops, it means that he must be an official. As long as the officers and soldiers come, there are only a hundred bandits outside, and it will not be a weather at all. I am afraid that when you see the officers and soldiers, you will flee!
They are saved!
The pilgrims seemed to have taken a reassurance and felt much more at ease.
The bearded guard took the token and left, and found another monk to lead the way: "Master, please take me to the back door."
Two other guards followed them to the back door of the temple.
The pilgrims all watched them leave with anticipation until they could not see the figure and were still looking at them.
In the Main Hall, some of the panic-like pilgrims had already knelt down on the cushion, folded their hands together, praying at the golden-painted Buddha statues, muttering words.
The other guards helped the monks in the temple maintain order, and asked how many doors there were in the temple, how many monks, how many pilgrims, etc.
The monks had no backbone at first, but now Gu Jue's people are in charge of the overall situation. They are calm and follow the instructions of these guards to re-enforce the gate and count the number of people. In particular, the four gates in the temple were guarded by the guards, and all the pilgrims who tried to open the door and escape were subdued.
Even though they knew that someone had gone to hire the officers and soldiers, everyone was still worried. After all, as long as the officers and soldiers were not arrived, they were in unpredictable danger, just like an antelope targeted by a fierce beast.
The longer you wait, the stronger the suffocating fear.
This is true for the pilgrims, and so is Chu Qianhuang, who is still locked in the wing room at this moment.
The door of the wing room was locked again, and Chu Qianhuang walked back and forth in the room nervously, becoming more and more scared and at a loss.
She regretted it a little, because of her temporary self-esteem, so she didn't ask Chen Qianchen to take her with her. She should have just pulled her face down and walked with Chen Qianchen.
