There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 38 Beauty Tribulation 03
"Huh?! Answer me, do you hear me clearly?!"

The three of them were about to cry but had no tears, so they could only respond in a hoarse voice with great difficulty: "Listen, hear clearly, clearly."

"Madam, these, these copper coins are too much. I'm afraid my sister and I are -"

Shen Huihe pulled the two of them out of the house and said comfortingly: "These are ill-gotten gains, and it is good if they can be used in a righteous way. And you two can also provide help in times of need and be charitable, right? Let's go!"

The older sister hurriedly led her younger sister in a salute: "Thank you so much, madam. The two of us sisters cannot repay your kindness to me."

"You're welcome, you two are alone. Besides, your sister is weak and ill, so it would be best to find a carriage and hit the road."

"Thank you, madam. In fact, some kind-hearted people also mentioned it today. Now I will rent a carriage for my sister right away. I don't dare to trouble her anymore-"

Shen Huihe's body trembled and he suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

"Madam, you—"

She lowered her gaze and stared closely at a small green lake-colored sachet fastened to the young lady's waist, with two simple white plum blossoms embroidered on it.

"Where did you get this sachet?"

My sister quickly responded respectfully: "What a coincidence, I happened to meet a Taoist priest this afternoon, the kind-hearted person I mentioned to you just now. The Taoist priest is kind-hearted. He saw that my sister is frail, and he learned that the two of us are going to I went to Chang'an to seek medical advice, so I specially gave this thing as a gift. The Taoist priest said that as long as I can successfully reach Chang'an and take this thing to Yuqing Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, I will definitely have the opportunity to receive diagnosis and treatment from Master Miaohua. My little daughter, I How dare you refuse, so I quickly asked my sister to accept it. Madam, can it be said that this thing——"

"Nothing, nothing, this thing is auspicious, be sure to keep it. Madam, have you noticed anything eye-catching about the Taoist Priest? Well, for example, he has a black umbrella on his shoulder. of?"

She frowned and suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, the Taoist priest seems to be carrying a black umbrella behind his back."

Shen Huihe smiled brightly, knowing that he got the answer he wanted.

"Did that Taoist priest go away alone?"

She shook her head: "No, no, it seems to be following a large caravan. I also heard one of the little brothers mentioning that they wanted to eat wonton pancakes. I think they should be heading east."

"Okay, thank you madam. You should set off quickly and don't delay my sister's condition."

Shen Huihe arranged for the carriage driver for the two of them, personally sent them to the carriage, and also gave them the money bag just now.In this way, it can be regarded as accumulating merit.

When the carriage was about to leave, my sister suddenly poked her head out of the small curtain: "My dear daughter, Mrs. Lu, I would like to thank the Taoist Master for saving me. If we can meet in Chang'an in the future, please ask the Taoist Master——"

"Ms. Lu, you're welcome. Have a nice trip and a safe journey." Shen Huihe waved his hand and watched her leave.

East direction? !Isn’t it just the direction to Fuzhou Qingyun Temple? !

Shen Huihe thought for a while, quickly packed his luggage and the remaining few copper coins, and set off again in the direction they said.

It's late at night, and it's so dark in the deep mountains and old forests that you can't even see your fingers. The only thing left in your ears is the shrill rustling of the wind, and occasionally the high and low neighing and low roars of wild beasts and birds.In early June, the wind is crisp and the sky is cloudless.Walking in this dense forest, I don't feel irritated or uncomfortable.As we walk toward the southeast, the branches and leaves of the trees along the way become taller, more lush, and lush.

Suddenly, Shen Huihe stopped and held his breath and became alert.

Although there was still a distance of two or three miles, her eyes and ears were very good, and there was a fierce fighting sound not far ahead.

She waved her sleeves and ran faster.When she was about to arrive, she jumped suddenly and landed lightly on a large tree branch with thick leaves and thick branches.

The breeze swayed, and the branches moved with the wind.She found a perfect position to lean on, took a water bag and drank a few sips of water, folded her arms and watched the show below leisurely.

Three or four large and small shallow pits suddenly appeared in the dense forest 20 meters away. The surrounding undulating branches and leaves were broken, broken, and burned to ashes. It was obvious that they had just experienced a big battle. , the situation of anger and sword-drawing became more and more intense.

"You stinking Taoist priest, if you don't drink the toast, you will be punished with a drink. If you hand over what you left behind now, I might be able to spare your life!"

The person who uttered the arrogant words was a short, middle-aged man with a round head and a fat face.A bloody red mark as twisted and ferocious as a red snake was outlined from top to bottom on his left cheek.

There were two people standing behind him.

The woman on the left is tall, wearing heavy makeup, and is very charming, especially her weird purple lip color that is very eye-catching.A shiny leather whip was tied around her waist.

On the right side is a tall, thin young man with a gloomy and dark face, narrow eyelids, and a sinister look. The exposed half of his arms are covered with strange runes and characters, and he holds two sharp daggers in his hands.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I dare not speak nonsense. But since I have made a promise, how can I hand it over to others so easily."

The young man opposite him had a handsome face and stood tall. He responded calmly and calmly, and his tone was irresistibly calm and confident.

He was wearing an obsidian-colored, wide-sleeved Taoist robe. The black and white Bagua diagram in the center of the back of the robe was even more conspicuous in the dark night.When I turned around, my clothes moved with the wind, looking cool and elegant.He smiled lightly, as if the three people in front of him were just nameless pawns.

As long as he stood there, he would have an air of otherworldliness. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was an immortal descended from heaven to save the world.

The lush shade of trees blocked Shen Huihe's large field of vision.She leaned forward and took a closer look, only to find that there were seven or eight bodyguards holding long swords and daggers closely behind him, each of them looking around with uneasy expressions.

There were several injured people lying on the ground behind them, unable to move.After the escort, there was a group of guards dressed in black, closely guarding the four or five carriage racks in the middle.

"Hmph, it seems that he won't shed tears without seeing the coffin! Brother, why are you afraid of such a mortal body? We will just kill him!" the tall man said arrogantly.

The tall man calls the short and fat man in front of him his eldest brother, so he is the leader of the two of them.

"Third brother, don't be anxious. The eldest brother has his own strategy. Let's listen to him."

The woman stuck out her tongue with a smile on her face, and even her lips and teeth were as intensely black and purple as if she had been poisoned.
