The dark night came silently, casting a veil of mystery over the entire Dongrao City.

To the north of the bus station, eight hundred meters away, stands a 45-story silver-gray building. This is the famous Sheraton Hotel located in the center of Dongrao. In the presidential suite at No. 4001 in the hotel building, three men are sitting on large leather sofas, carefully studying something on the glass coffee table.

A small camphor leaf.

The three of them watched for most of the day, but they didn't understand what was written on the leaf.

Suddenly, the young man in the middle with gold-rimmed glasses grabbed the Cohiba cigar on the table, took a puff, and then swooped up from the couch. He walked quickly to the window, looking at the night view of the city outside the window, with a very cold expression: "Third child, can you understand this math problem on the leaves?"

The tall third is the strong man who stole the leaves from Kong Shucheng. The third child pinched the leaf with his fingers and shook his head again: "Brother Cao, I was expelled from high school in my second year, you should ask the fifth child." ”

It turned out that the man with glasses was called Brother Cao.

Brother Cao turned his head to look at the thin monkey opposite: "Old Five, what about you? Don't you claim to be a bachelor's degree from South China University of Technology?"

Lao Wu smiled: "Brother Cao, don't make fun of me." My undergraduate diploma was done by Lao Hu, and the cost was only 200 yuan, so you can deceive the little girl, how dare you deceive Brother Cao. ”

Brother Cao: "Mom, it seems that our golden five-person group has less than one high school per capita, no wonder Yunyan's kid is like playing monkeys when he plays a few of us." ”

The fifth child was not convinced: "Brother Cao, that kid Yunyan wants to play us, and in the end, others are not in our hands?"

Brother Cao: "What's the use of people in their hands? He just won't give the answer, and we don't know where that place is." ”

Lao Wu: "Brother Cao, I can't understand this mathematical formula, but this sentence written by that kid Yunyan, I think there is some way to follow." ”

Brother Cao's eyes lit up: "Oh, let's talk about it!"

Lao Wu: "This sentence 'Buddha is destined to be a person', it should have something to do with the temple, right?"

Brother Cao nodded: "I thought so just now." However, in the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings and platforms are in the smoke and rain, do you know how many temples there are in our country? ”

Lao Wu: "Brother Cao, this kid Yunyan, he has to venture back to Mangshan County at the end, I guess that temple must be in Mangshan County." I checked the map just now, and there are three temples in Mangshan County. There is a Yongfu Temple, a Ganlu Temple, and one is the Tianquan Temple located next to the Xianren Lake. In the past few days, let's go our separate ways and look for it. ”

Brother Cao nodded and snuffed out the cigar in his hand: "For now, it can only be like this." However, it is imperative to solve this math problem as soon as possible. Because all the secrets should be hidden in this math problem, although a few of us have not studied much, we can also borrow external brains. But remember, you have to be steady. ”

Lao Wu nodded: "Brother Cao, Yun Yan's kid, how to deal with it?"

Brother Cao: "Let's keep it for now, you let the second and fourth children be smarter." ”

At this time, the burly old five, after drinking the Martell in the cup, turned his head and asked: "Brother Cao, that kid surnamed Kong, should I find someone to follow him too?" ”

Brother Cao nodded: "Well, try to follow along, this kid surnamed Kong is from Dongrao No. 4 Middle School, he and my cousin are from the same school, although he just came in by mistake, we can't take it lightly." ”

Lao Wu: "Brother Cao, do you think that kid surnamed Kong will have understood that math problem in advance? ”

Brother Cao immediately smiled: "Hehe, that's not it." Yesterday, I called my cousin, and he said that the surname Kong was just a scumbag, and he didn't have the IQ of Yun Yan at all. I'm not worried about anything else, I'm afraid he's a rat poop and spoils our good pot of soup. ”

Lao Wu was expressionless: "Brother Cao, it's really not good, let's abolish him........."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Cao glared at Lao Wu fiercely: "Is it over?"

Lao Wu smiled awkwardly, then lowered his head and continued to drink.

..................

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Kong Shucheng got on a bus bound for Mangshan County. Because it was the weekend, there were so many people on the bus that the seats were occupied, so he had to stand by the door. Just now, in the real kung fu restaurant, the disappearance of the camphor leaves made him feel palpitations until now. Even, he felt that on this bus, it seemed as if someone was deliberately following him.

It's a pity that his top school system can't recognize those who are too low-level. If the person who was following him was a tiger and wolf-level scholar, then he would definitely be able to sense the hostility on the other party.

Before getting into the car, he had already sent a photo of the leaf to Professor Yan Ran.

At the same time, Yan Ran also reported the situation to the police who were specifically responsible for the "Yun Yan Disappearance Case".

But half an hour has passed, and there is still no progress on Yan Ran's side.

No doubt.

No one has been able to unravel the secret of the camphor leaf.

The message Yan Ran sent him just now was just a comforting word: "Don't be impulsive first, the problem will definitely come to light." ”

In addition, Yan Ran also specially told Kong Shucheng on the phone not to participate in the "Yun Yan Disappearance Case" anymore, because it was too dangerous. However, Kong Shucheng ignored her words. He felt that he should immediately go to Mangshan County to find Li Luogen. His intuition told him that Mr. Li might be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

As for why he did this, he himself did not know.

Perhaps, it's because of Senior Brother Yun Yan's math notebook.

Perhaps, it was because Aunt Lu mistook him for a "son".

Perhaps, it's because of Uncle Yun's tearful eyes.

.........

Around 9:40 p.m.

The bus finally arrived at the Xianren Lake Terminus.

After Kong Shucheng got out of the car with a dozen people, he didn't go far, and he quickly realized that something was wrong. After walking about two hundred meters along the lake, he noticed that someone was following him all the time.

So, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Li Luogen.

Kong Shucheng: "Hey, Mr. Li, I seem to be being followed. ”

"Male or female?"

"The light is too dark to see clearly. ”

"There is danger, don't take the small road to my house first, turn directly to the main road, I will come out now, you remember to open the mobile phone all the way to locate it." ”

"Okay. ”

After Kong Shucheng turned off the phone, he abandoned the path and walked towards the tourist town on the left side of Pingding Village. There are a lot of people there, and it is not only safe, but it is also easy to shake off the tail.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Kong Shucheng came to the gate tower of the tourist town. Looking up, on the towering gatehouse, there are four big characters of "Fairy Lake in the World" inscribed by the famous calligrapher Mr. Qigong.

Standing at the bottom of the gatehouse, looking to the south, in addition to a huge fairy lake like a bronze mirror, you can also vaguely see a continuous mountain range on the other side of the lake. To the east of that mountain range, there was a faint light.

Kong Shucheng asked an eldest sister selling fruits next to him: "Is there a scenic spot on the mountain across the lake?"

The eldest sister smiled: "Young man, I think it's your first time to come to Xianren Lake to play, right?"

"Hehe, no, I've been here a lot lately. ”

"That's strange, since you often come here, how can you not know about Tianquan Temple?"

"Tianquan Temple? I heard that there is a Yongquan Temple in Rongcheng, but I haven't heard of it, there is also a Tianquan Temple in Mangshan County?" Kong Shucheng was very curious.

The eldest sister who sold fruit smiled: "In the past, Tianquan Temple was just an abandoned and broken temple, and few people had heard of it. In the past few years, the tourism on this side of Xianren Lake has been started, and the incense of Tianquan Temple has naturally flourished. ”

"I see. ”

Kong Shucheng nodded, and then looked up at the looming temple in the distance.

At this time, a series of crisp bells came from the Tianquan Temple in the distance.........
