Pain, pain.

Except for the pain from head to toe, Lu Yunxi didn't seem to feel the presence of his body.

She subconsciously protected the tip of her belly, frowned slightly, turned over, spread her arms, but touched a person beside her.

Under her touch, the man also let out a few faint ** sounds.

It's Si Tingyan!

Hearing his voice, Lu Yunxi opened his eyes with a strong spirit.

It's all darkness.

A waterfall-like darkness filled her eyes, and the scissors seemed to flow into her eyes.

Lu Yunxi even had some doubts about whether he had opened his eyes.

She put her hands behind her back, endured the pain behind her, sat up, glanced around, and finally saw a faint light in the corner.

With that light, Lu Yunxi saw Si Tingyan lying beside him.

He had a wrist-sized bag on his forehead, his eyes closed, and his brows furrowed.

Lu Yunxi raised his hand and gently shook Si Tingyan twice, and said in a low voice, "Tingyan?"

Si Tingyan only said twice and slowly opened his eyes.

Like Lu Yunxi, he waited for a while to regain consciousness.

Everything around me gradually became clearer.

Although it is not clear where the two of them are, there is a faint fragrance of firewood and grass in the room, which must be the firewood room of Ci'an Temple.

Lu Yunxi knelt on the ground, only groped two steps forward little by little, and finally found a small flint and steel in a corner.

She drew her veil with a flint and steel, and looked around by a little light from it.

Indeed, they were in the woodhouse.

Si Tingyan was quick-eyed, and at a glance, he could already see that there was a half-burned white candle on the floor on one side, which was left by the monks when they entered and exited for convenience.

He quickly crawled over, pulled the handkerchief that was pulled to Lu Yunxi, and with a 'bang', the candle was lit, and the whole room slowly lit up.

As Lu Yunxi guessed, they were indeed in the firewood room.

There is firewood all around, and there are some miscellaneous items piled up in the corner, most of which are only used when going up the mountain to cut firewood.

Maybe it's because Ci'an Temple is located in the deep mountains, this firewood house is fully enclosed, surrounded by gray walls, impermeable to the wind, and it is really impossible to see where it is by the weak light of the candle.

The two kept the candle close to each other and examined each other's injuries.

At that time, Si Tingyan was a stick in his forehead, so there was a big bag on his forehead.

Lu Yunxi was knocked on the back of the head, but the person who knocked her was obviously much lighter, and there was no big bag in the back of her head.

"It seems that even if those monks in Ci'an Temple were not killed, they were afraid that they would be more than lucky. ”

After Si Tingyan checked Lu Yunxi's injuries, he called her pulse again and said softly.

Lu Yunxi nodded slightly, "Who the hell is it?" Ci'an Temple doesn't seem to be a small temple, and there must be no fewer monks in this temple, how can someone come to kidnap so many monks at the same time?"

As she spoke, she handed her left hand to Si Tingyan again.

Si Tingyan's fingertips clicked one or two on Lu Yunxi's wrist, and the warm touch spread along Lu Yunxi's skin little by little.

After a long moment, he continued, "Do you remember the man we met when we went up the mountain?"

As soon as Si Tingyan said this, Lu Yunxi's eyes appeared in front of the man's fierce gaze and the smell of blood on his body.

She nodded.

"It seems that the man must be the initiator of this temple. ”

Si Tingyan's voice was very low.

Lu Yunxi nodded in agreement, and then she thought of something, "If that's the case, why did he lock us up here?"

Si Tingyan didn't answer, pursed his lower lip, pondered for a long time, and then said, "I'm afraid, he is also here for the relationship between Nangong Long and Brother Sheng." ”

A spiritual light crossed Lu Yunxi's mind.

She suddenly remembered the words of the white-bearded old man.

A few years ago, a mysterious man once appeared, wanting to find out what the relationship between the Nangong family and Jiangning City was, so as to graft the glory and wealth of the Nangong family to his own family.

Could it be the man just now?

Si Tingyan didn't know about this matter, so naturally he didn't know why someone would make such a big deal out of the relationship between Nangong Long and Brother Sheng.

Just when the two of them saw that the situation had fallen into a desperate situation, and neither of them could think of a reason, there was a 'squeak' sound from the door of the firewood room.

A tall figure appeared in the darkness.

"You're awake. ”

The sound was so familiar.

Lu Yunxi and Si Tingyan glanced at each other, and they both saw the answer in each other's eyes - He Haichao!

Immediately, the two of them turned their heads abruptly and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

Sure enough, I saw He Haichao wearing simple and simple clothes, holding a white jade fan in his hand, with a slight smile in his eyes, standing by the door, staring at the two.

His smile didn't look as kind as it used to be, but it was a little more sinister.

Si Tingyan straightened up, stopped Lu Yunxi behind him, stared at He Haichao deadly, and said in a deep voice, "He Haichao, why are you?"

He Haichao was not in a hurry, and the smile on his face deepened.

As soon as he took a step, Si Tingyan and Lu Yunxi saw the man standing behind him, not a bystander, but the man he met when he went up the mountain today.

It's all about to come out.

The real culprit behind Ci'an Temple is He Haichao!

Thinking of this, Lu Yunxi couldn't help but sigh secretly: Why didn't she think of it?

This Ci'an Temple is also a famous temple, if it were not for the intervention of the government, how could all the monks in this temple disappear?

"What are you going to do?"

Si Tingyan stared at He Haichao vigilantly, stopped Lu Yunxi behind him, and asked in a deep voice.

He Haichao smiled, and the fan in his hand gently tapped one or two in the palm of his hand, "Brother Si, you and I are also close friends, and I don't want to embarrass you." It's just that you have in your hands what I need so much, and I hope you can give it to me. ”

Si Tingyan and Lu Yunxi glanced at each other.

Si Tingyan was still puzzled, but Lu Yunxi already understood what he meant.

"What's that?"

Si Tingyan asked in a deep voice.

He Haichao didn't answer, but only looked at Lu Yunxi.

He looked Lu Yunxi up and down, and then said, "Miss Lu, you are brave and resourceful, loyal and courageous, and I really admire someone He." What's more, you are now also the county lord, and you are deeply favored by the queen mother. If I hurt you, the Queen Mother will be held accountable. Miss Lu, don't embarrass me, tell me what you know, so that you and I can save our lives. How?"
