Aunt Shan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said anxiously: "Then why don't we lurk nearby now, or go to the foot of the mountain to ambush and follow?"
"No, doing this not only consumes a lot of our energy and physical strength, but also probably results in nothing, because we don't know where the cave is, and we don't know what they saw in the cave. Besides, we are only six years old.
Individuals can't predict where the people they send will go from, maybe they won't send anyone there at all..."
The old man praised: "Miss Xiaowan is absolutely right. Rather than spreading our manpower and not getting any results, we might as well sneak into Pili Temple to eavesdrop on the most accurate and final news."
Zhao Ling'er said worriedly: "So many of us are going..."
"I am the only one going in. You all should wait in a suitable place outside. If there is any movement, go to support."
Liu Qianwen asked with concern: "When are you going to go?"
"I thought we couldn't go too late. It would be best to turn on the lights just after dark!"
The old man praised: "Yes, this is dinner time, and it is also the time when they are most negligent."
Zhao Ling'er suddenly said: "What if Thin Willow Immortal happens to be in Perak Temple?"
"If the Thin Willow Immortal is indeed in the Shuangcha Society, Master Huoyang will definitely send someone to invite him. However, I think the Thin Willow Immortal has not come to Tianshan at all. We may have been deceived!"
The old man nodded slowly and said with a sigh: "Old slave thinks so too, because the Thin Willow Immortal has really come to Tianshan and defected to the Shuangcha Society. According to the blue-robed Taoist, it is impossible for him not to go to Pili.
Observe, however, we can clearly hear that the two old Taoists have not heard about the Thin Willow Immortal coming to Tianshan until now."
Everyone was silent for a while. They all felt that Gutou's words made sense, and they all guessed that the Thin Willow Fairy had not come to Tianshan at all.
Xue Bing'er said anxiously: "If the Thin Willow Fairy didn't come to Tianshan at all, where did they take my grandfather hostage?"
Shangguan Xiaowan said with relief: "I think Thin Liuxian and Fat Maitreya will never dare to do anything to our master. Now we only have to find Brother Haotian first, and then decide whether to return to the Central Plains or continue searching in the Tianshan Mountains!"
Xue Bing'er cried unconsciously and said, "But, where is brother Haotian now?"
After saying this, everyone's heart sank and their expressions darkened.
After a long time, Shangguan Xiaowan said with relief: "We don't need to discuss these things anymore. Let's sit down and take a rest first. The sun is about to set. We will go as soon as it gets dark!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Aunt Shan again and said, "Aunt Shan, please go ahead and boil some water."
Aunt Shan knew that Shangguan Xiaowan wanted to leave Gutou to discuss the matter, so she agreed, took the small iron pot on Gutou's waist, and walked towards the stream due to the north.
So, the five people discussed some matters that should be paid attention to, and Aunt Shan had already brought boiling water.
At this time, the red sun had set and darkness had fallen in the woods. Everyone drank boiled water, ate some food, and leaned under the trees to regulate their breathing and refresh themselves.
Half an hour later, everyone was full of energy and quietly prepared to fly towards the mountain due south according to the plan just now. This time everyone headed towards the front of the ridge and climbed up from the tip of the west end of the ridge.
This forest is quite vast, and it is connected to the tip of the Gongling Ridge. As soon as Shangguan Xiaowan and others arrived at the foot of the ridge, they started to move forward in a file, and they were more vigilant in case they encountered Taoists patrolling the Perak Temple.
The tip of Gongling Ridge becomes more steep and rugged as it goes up, and is covered with rocks and vines. Fortunately, everyone has a good foundation of skills, otherwise, it would be difficult to advance from the tip.
Aunt Shan whispered: "The more dangerous the mountain is, the more neglectful the warning..."
Old Man Zhan whispered: "That's because it's inconvenient for us to move forward, and it's also difficult for them to patrol!"
Continuing with a leap and gallop, they reached the back of the ridge. A hundred feet away in front of them, under the ridge, it was dark, with only a few sparse lights shining through. The lights had obviously been blocked by the lush trees.
Shangguan Xiaowan knew that Pili Temple was there. Since the ridge was really rugged, everyone had to go down diagonally.
Gradually, the voices of people coming from the temple could be heard again, and the majestic ridge of the temple was also seen in the gap between the trees, extending layer by layer towards the middle of the ridge.
Shangguan Xiaowan and others looked at the situation in the temple as they moved forward, and found that the lights were the brightest in a two-story palace in the middle and at the back. The figures in the temple were swaying, and they seemed to be very busy, running towards several rows of long rooms on the left and right.
.
Aunt Shan's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she whispered: "They are having dinner, now is the time to enter."
The old man said: "I think Miss Xiaowan can go to the window of the pavilion at the back first and take a look. The lights in that place must be unusual."
Shangguan Xiaowan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I think!"
But Liu Qianwen said worriedly: "If it's unusual, the guards will be heavy and it will be difficult to sneak in, especially if the lights are bright..."
"It's not dark yet, and the other party is having dinner. Although there are many guards and the lights are like daylight, I think it's not too difficult to enter." Shangguan Xiaowan disagreed.
While they were talking, everyone had gone around to the back of the view, but they were still far away from the brightly lit two-story palace pavilion. There was also a dark apse and several rows of houses in between.
After careful inspection, everyone found that there were no warnings or patrols among the rocks and vines outside the temple, and no hidden piles were found lurking in the dark passages of the buildings inside the temple.
