At three o'clock in the morning, Song Tianlin threw the driver a 100-yuan bill and got out of the car, the driver hesitated for a few seconds and stepped on the accelerator, and in a blink of an eye, only the tail lights remained.

He actually wanted to say that the fare was not enough, but when he thought that most of the people who could come to this kind of place in the middle of the night were mentally ill, seeing that this master was silent all the way, maybe he was in the onset period, and if he provoked it, he would not have a good fruit to eat. Now in these years, I'd rather help the old lady than get into a nervous disorder, the former just makes you bankrupt, and the latter is very ruthless but will lose your life.

The location where Song Tianlin is located is a deserted tomb.

He was very skeptical that Lu Ye was deliberately fixing him because he didn't pay the bill last time.

The moonlight flickered through the slow-moving clouds, and Song Tianlin walked halfway up the mountain along the only stone path, on either side of which were broken tombstones discarded haphazardly in the soil, rows of bone-rotting dead trees, and the smell of rot in the air.

Gradually, a dilapidated attic appeared in front of him.

The style of the attic is a bit like a church built by ancient missionaries, Song Tianlin pushed the door in, and the howling cold wind swept the ashes through the windows of the house. There were several pieces of dilapidated furniture in the house, on which a thick layer of dust had fallen. As you climb the stairs, the cracked wooden floor creaks, as if it might be stepped on at any moment. The vermilion staircase has an openwork copy, and you can vaguely see the delicacy of the past.

Song Tianlin stood at the corner of the stairs, and as far as his eyes could see, there were tombstones.

Suddenly a face appeared behind Song Tianlin, Song Tianlin screamed in surprise and then subconsciously punched the face, only to hear a scream coming from behind the fist, Song Tianlin took a closer look, it turned out to be a person!

Five minutes later, Song Tianlin sat cramped on the bench and looked at the young man covering his nose beside him, the fire on the side illuminated his face, his face full of apologies.

And Lu Ye had a playful expression, he stood by the stove and kept waving his hands.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to......" Song Tianlin rubbed his hands and kept looking at Lu Ye, but Lu Ye ignored him at all and concentrated on the work in his hands.

Song Tianlin was very aggrieved, coming to this kind of house in the middle of the night with a blind black light made Song Tianlin tremble a little, not to mention that the other party was still wearing a black tight-fitting leather coat, that punch was completely his instinctive reaction, who suddenly saw a human face in this environment and didn't panic? And it was a fair and flawless woman's face?

"I don't blame you for this, I'm unlucky. The other party resisted the pain from his nose and waved his hand.

Lu Ye came to the table and sat down, put the barbecue in his hand on the tray on the table, and brought another case of beer, "Come on, come on, try if my craft has regressed." ”

"You definitely did it on purpose!" Song Tianlin complained in a low voice, "I knew it would be no good for you to call me here so late!"

"I really didn't mean to. Lu Ye coughed, "Come, let me introduce you, This is Song Tianlin, my good buddy for twenty years, he is the helper sent by the Hidden Mist to assist us this time." ”

Song Tianlin nodded and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Hidden Mist Song Tianlin." ”

The other party didn't stretch out his hand, and said lightly: "Hello, I'm Lian Qiulan, from Longyuan." ”

"Lian Qiulan is the only member of Long Yuan who has passed the trial in the past two years, and her ability is no less than mine. Lu Ye's tone was full of show-offs.

"Lian Qiulan?" Song Tianlin was somewhat familiar with this name, as if the daughter adopted by Zen Master Pudu back then was also called this name.

"It's just the same name. Lu Ye hugged Song Tianlin's shoulder and whispered, "At first, I thought it was that person, but it turned out that people's bone age and abilities were completely incompatible with that person, and you also know that each alien only has one kind of ability, so it's just a coincidence." ”

"Why do you live here?" Song Tianlin asked, looking around.

"Because I'm poor!" Lu Ye spread his hands and looked helpless, "You also know the nature of our business, when I was young, I didn't think about this at all, and I didn't have a bottom when I spent a lot of money." Later, the housing prices on Jingzhao's side rose like a rocket, and I watched the experts on TV say that what kind of housing price bubble it is, and it will fall in a few years, so I didn't take it seriously. But the price of the house got higher and higher, and in the end I couldn't even afford a down payment. ”

"I remember that when you went to Egypt, you knocked the Pharaoh's meeting hard!" Song Tianlin said with a frown.

"It's all used for task expenses, and the head of the house knows that life is difficult, and there is no money here to do things at all. Lu Ye took out a wine driver and showed himself two bottles of beer, handed one to Song Tianlin, poured a sip of wine and wiped his mouth, "Now Jingzhao, you can kill seven or eight division chiefs with a brick, and if you want to do things, you have to dredge up the relationship layer by layer, and these all cost a lot of money! Although Long Yuan was subject to the royal family before, he was so good that he was also eating imperial food. ”

"Then why don't you go and live with Old Man Pudu?"

"It's not easy for Zen masters now, and I'm embarrassed to trouble people. Zen masters are so old, every year during the Chinese New Year, they have to visit those so-called leaders and say some good things. As soon as people are happy, they will give you some money to repair the Fuyou Temple, if they are not happy, you can't do anything. Lu Ye sighed, "It's actually quite good here, no one can still see the scenery every day, the owner of this desolate tomb left me a piece of land in the back mountain, and gave me a lot of money every month." ”

Song Tianlin thought for a while and did not speak.

Twenty years ago, Song Tianlin saw Lu Ye for the first time, and Lu Ye at that time was like a sword with a first blade, and his edge was exposed. In the heterogeneous world, only Stuart and Amanhotpur, who was hailed by the Egyptian Pharaohs as the most promising successor to the Pharaoh's legacy in the past thousand years, could compete with them.

It's a pity, a penny is hard to beat a hero!

"Don't talk about these bad things, why are you calling me tonight? I slept in a daze and didn't hear clearly, as if I only heard the results of your secret analysis?" Lu Ye casually picked up a bunch of roasted mushrooms and said in his mouth.

"Yes," Song Tianlin said, "the analysis results given by the dark department point to the Shilin Gorge, which is seventy kilometers northeast of Jingzhao. ”

"Are you sure?" Lu Ye was slightly stunned.

"I don't know, it's shown on the simple drawing given to me by the dark department," Song Tianlin took out his mobile phone and showed it to Lu Ye, "I compared the Jingzhao map on the Internet, and the location of this red dot should be Shilin Gorge." ”

"Is it possible that you are mistaken?" Lian Qiulan asked, "There are basically scenic spots now, except for the mountains and waterfalls. There are a lot of tourists going there every day, and I've never heard anything unusual about Stone Forest Gorge. ”

Lu Ye shook his head, "The dark part of the hidden fog can even be compared to the Cheka back then, after this world, there are only things that the dark department doesn't want to do, and there is nothing they can't do." And judging by the rigor of the madmen in the shadows, there shouldn't be any problems with this simple drawing. ”

"So what are you going to do?" Song Tianlin looked at Lu Ye.

"It's not like it was before, and we have to be cautious. Lu Ye thought about it for a long time, "I've been there, there were several accidents of accidental cliff fall in Shilinxia a few years ago, and the state attached great importance to this, and then cameras were installed everywhere in Shilinxia, and it was difficult for us to want people to be in it unknowingly." In this way, Qiu Lan and I will go back to get something in a while, you go back to Fuyou Temple, and after dawn, the four of us will pretend to be tourists and go to the stepping point first, and then we will understand the situation. ”

"Shilin Gorge closes the scenic spot every night?" asked Lian Qiulan.

Lu Ye nodded, "The scenic spot closes on time at six o'clock in the afternoon every day, and tourists who haven't finished browsing are not allowed to stay." ”

"Then why don't we go over at night?" Lian Qiulan lowered her head and fiddled with her phone for a while, "I found out about the original bidding for the Shilinxia camera through the Jingzhao government's public website, and they purchased ordinary cameras instead of night vision cameras, which basically don't see anything at night." ”

Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "It's better to wait for the day to honestly buy a ticket to go in, now it is a society under the rule of law, if you go in the middle of the night, if you are caught by the patrol, you will definitely be thrown into the detention center." ”

When Song Tianlin returned to Fuyou Temple, the sky was already slightly bright, and when he entered the house, Su Ru had just finished washing.

"Where have you been?" Su Ru sniffled, her voice a little hoarse.

"Last night, the results of the analysis came from the dark department, and I went to find Lu Ye overnight. Song Tianlin sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his dizzy head, "Wait for Lu Ye and them to go back and get their things, let's go to Shilin Gorge to see the situation first." ”

Su Ru nodded, and carried the quilt on her bed to Song Tianlin's bed, "You rest for a while, I'll go out for a walk, remember to cover more when it's cold." ”

After watching Song Tianlin lie down, Su Ru went out of the door, hesitated, and turned around and went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Zen Master Pudu woke up early, and when Su Ru came in, he was sweeping the dust from the Buddhist shrine with a feather duster.

Su Ru took three sticks of incense from the side and lit them, knelt on the futon and folded her hands to her heart, her lips moved slightly, and then leaned down.

"Master Su Shi also believes in Buddhism?" asked Zen Master Pudu as he muttered "Amitabha" after Su Ru got up.

"If the Buddha can really protect all sentient beings, then what if I believe it?", Su Ru shook her head with a smile and said, "I slept very hard last night, and I always felt as if something was going to happen, so I came here this morning to worship the Buddha and burn incense, which can be regarded as comforting myself." ”

"There is a Buddha in the heart, and there is no Buddha in the heart. The road can be passed with a smile, and the Buddha refers to the smile of the human heart. "Zen Master Pudu clasped his hands together.

"Master is the leader of the Dragon Yuan, but from yesterday it seems that you don't care. ”

"I was originally an idle person, and it was not my intention to inherit Long Yuan, but it was just a trust from the deceased. Now that Lu Ye is here, why should I try to make trouble?" Zen Master Pudu sat on the futon, "I know that the end is near, and I want to eat and chant Buddha every day to spend the rest of my life in peace." ”
