Chapter 22 The ancient temple hides its secrets(1/2)
"Three days..."
Brother Yang, who was dressed as a fool, was happy, with a smile on his face and no concealment of the sarcasm in his eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"With a population of one million and one hundred and eight squares in Yujing City, if you want to hide, even if our Tiandi Sect sends out all its strength, I don't dare to say that you will be able to find it, let alone all of them are new people."
As he spoke, he looked thoughtful, and his eyes became strange, "Your family... seems to have a grudge against the Li family, right?"
"I dare not hide it from Senior Brother Yang."
Yu Ziqing straightened his collar, and his eyes became determined, "My father collected evidence of the Li family's crimes during his lifetime. I know exactly what they did. It was definitely not his uncle, the housekeeper, who could make the final decision for Xiao San to escape from prison."
These words made Brother Yang feel uncertain in his eyes.
When Yu Ziqing saw this, he said angrily: "I am willing to give up all the credit, but I am afraid that Senior Brother Yang is afraid of the power of Li Mansion and dare not take action."
"Don't dare?"
"Joke!"
Senior Brother Yang snorted coldly: "Don't try to be clever with me. Ever since I started working in the world, my head has been pinned to my waistband."
"Tell me, how do you want to find it?"
Yu Ziqing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Now that he is hiding, there must be something secretly going on. Senior Brother Yang is looking for someone in a big way, but it will alarm the other party."
"Xiao San is at best a third-rate person in terms of his skills. His only advantage is that he has been hanging out in the capital for a long time and is familiar with all kinds of disciplines."
"Buying and selling poisons, abducting people, spreading rumors...these channels are the focus."
"Also, he hides his identity and will probably not show up in person. You can search through acquaintances to see who has been unusual recently..."
Listening to Yu Ziqing's words, the expression of the Tiandimen disciple named Yang gradually became serious.
Veterans in the martial arts world will look for these clues, but they are all gained from experience.
Yu Ziqing is a rookie, but he is so organized. He is much better than those newcomers.
Thinking of this, his tone became kind, "Let's go, let's find a place to discuss..."
…………
Before you know it, night falls.
Outside Anzhenfang, Zhang Biao still gathered everyone, assigned patrol routes, and warned people about safety.
After the Wuhous left, he said in a deep voice to Wang Xin and Tie Shouming: "Huo Feng wants us to pay attention to the Taoist temple in the square. There may be something wrong with Zhaoguo Temple. I will go and investigate."
"You two are patrolling outside the workshop. If something happens, you will summon Wu Hou to come and deal with it."
"Yes, sir."
After making arrangements, Zhang Biao was not in a hurry to set off, but continued patrolling with everyone.
When the people arrived at Haishi and it was late at night, Zhang Biao ducked out of the way and entered a dark alley.
Outside Zhaoguofang, the wall was still being repaired, and the wooden frame had not yet been dismantled. Zhang Biao jumped over the wall without using the hook.
Zhaoguo Temple looks even quieter at night.
The bright moon shines on the pagoda, giving it a hint of gloom.
In the darkness, with the flickering firelight, several monks were holding lanterns and holding whistle sticks, walking along the pines and cypresses path.
In the darkness of the tower forest, Zhang Biao appeared, thoughtful.
He had gone around in a circle and found that there were monks patrolling all the important roads, and he could only sneak in from the periphery of the Tallinn Pagoda Tomb.
This is not a way to guard against petty thieves.
The monks are really evil...
Zhang Biao looked into the distance, pulled up his two sleeves, folded the collar and lifted it up, and the six-door head-catching robe suddenly turned into a night-walking robe.
He was not in a hurry, and secretly calculated the time. When the monks patrolled, he lowered his body and walked quickly and lightly through the shadows and darkness...
This Zhaoguo Temple is divided into three parts.
The front yard is open to pilgrims, and is followed by the Dharma Protector Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, and the Foguang Hall. There are Bell and Drum Towers and Jialan Hall on both sides.
The middle courtyard contains the Sutra Collection Pavilion, the Treasury, the Sutra Lecture Pavilion, the Demon-Conquering Hall, as well as the abbot's, supervisory courtyard and other temple dean's meditation rooms.
The backyard is where ordinary disciples live, as well as a well, a hut, and a vegetable garden.
Pagoda Forest, next to the Central Courtyard.
Before Zhang Biao got close, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart. He quickly stopped and hid in the dark.
This middle courtyard has a Buddhist scripture pavilion and a warehouse, but it is completely dark and eerily silent. Even the patrolling monks are missing.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster...
At this moment, footsteps sounded in the distance, and the Zhike monk from the daytime hurriedly came from the corridor and said urgently: "Uncle Master, those people are crazy again!"
"Why panic..."
The door to the Sutra Pavilion suddenly opened, and a tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
This is a weird monk.
He is tall, more than two meters tall, with a huge back and waist. He is naked and has scriptures densely engraved on him.
Especially the head, with a square face and big ears, and his eyes covered with a thick white cloth, was completely unaffected when he walked. He easily stepped across the threshold of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and walked down the steps.
The strange monk said in a dull voice: "You outer disciples have been blinded in the world of mortals for a long time and have no concentration at all!"
"Disciple knows his mistake."
Zhike Monk's voice was trembling, as if he was about to cry, "Uncle, please hurry up. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress those people..."
Zhang Biao watched in secret and was horrified.
This strange monk is not simple at first glance. No wonder there is no one guarding the middle courtyard. If he hadn't practiced the "Three Yang Sutra", he would have been discovered by him long ago.
Thinking of this, he quickly ran his spiritual eyes and felt a little sluggish, and then the message emerged:
Seeing the Monk in the Heart (Yellow Grade 1)
1. A monk from the Lianhua Sect, with amazing physique and martial arts skills, has just entered the Qi refining period.
2. The mind sees as the eyes, and the eyes are blind but the mind is not blind. The special Buddhist Qi refining method allowed him to gain excellent perception, which is more conducive to close combat, but at the cost, he lost his eyes forever...
3. I would like to transform into a blind Yaksha to protect the prosperity of the sect...
Qi refining period monk!
Zhang Biao was shocked and quickly lowered his head.
This was the first time he saw a monk, and he practiced faster than himself.
It didn't take long for the spiritual energy to revive, which shows that the other party has been prepared for a long time, and perhaps the inheritance has not been broken...
Wasn't the Lianhua Sect wiped out by Emperor Jing back then? The Six Gates were established because of this.
It turns out that the Wuxiang Sect is the Lianhua Sect...
Since this monk has a heritage, if he doesn't take advantage of the revival of his spiritual energy to practice in the mountains, what is he doing in the capital?
Zhang Biao was curious but did not dare to act rashly.
The opponent has entered the Qi refining stage and is already superb in martial arts. In addition, the martial arts are beneficial to melee combat. I am definitely no match for him.
I want this kind of guy to suppress me,
What is this again...
Watching the two monks leave one after another, Zhang Biao gritted his teeth and followed them from a distance.
Only two monks were seen entering the towering pagoda in the front yard, with a team of monks guarding the outside.
In the pagoda?
Zhang Biao frowned slightly, a little strange.
He has also been inside several buildings like pagodas. They look spacious on the outside, but in fact they are cramped and narrow inside. Only one person can pass through the upper floors.
Especially the Zhaoguo Temple pagoda is not big at all. Seeing the monk's size, you have to lower your head when entering, but it can still accommodate other people.
There is a tunnel below!
An idea flashed in Zhang Biao's mind, and he suddenly remembered the map of Yujing City he had found. The opening of Zhaoguofang seemed to be right here!
The rebellion that year...
Emperor Jing destroyed the Buddha...
Could it be that these guys also have maps?
Zhang Biao's eyes were filled with uncertainty.
I thought that the monks would only take in some monks who committed crimes, but I never thought that monks would be involved in the rebellion two hundred years ago...
This Lotus Sect is actually a spiritual sect.
The Wuxiang Sect in disguise came to the capital a hundred years ago and has been hiding secretly for so long, so its plans must be quite big.
To be continued...
