Luoyang was once the imperial capital of the millennium, and now it is the economic lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity is almost comparable to Chang'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe world-famous White Horse Temple is located twenty miles east of Luoyang City, and is named in honor of the White Horse Sutra.

Li Tianqi and Mu Yanyuan arrived at the gate of the White Horse Temple in the evening, but saw that the temple gate square was green and grassy, and the jade was paved with jade, which was extremely clean.

The two of them took some incense money for the sake of staying and praying, and the monk confiscated Mu Yanyuan's sword, and then introduced them into the temple and arranged a residence.

Li Tianqi remembered that the first time he stepped into the temple was the Lingyun Temple, but unfortunately he was secretly demonized by the Immortal Ancestor and other monsters, and this time he came to the White Horse Temple, which is the first ancient temple in the world, which is naturally extraordinary, giving people a sense of tranquility and serenity.

Although the news of the disappearance of the abbot, Venerable Yuanzhen, had already come back and caused a lot of shock, the operation of the monastery was still in order, and there was no difference from usual.

Li Tianqi and Mu Yanyuan went to the Buddha hall to worship the Buddha after fasting, Mu Yanyuan thought to himself that although he was expelled from the mountain gate, he was still a Taoist, so he just accompanied Li Tianqi to go together, and did not kneel.

Li Tianqi felt nostalgic for the experience of these years, recalling that he was about to find his mother but missed it, and finally discovered the truth of the matter, it turned out that he was just an adopted son, and he almost couldn't help but shed tears when he thought of the sore spot.

Mu Yanyuan waited outside the hall for a long time before he saw Li Tianqi come out, and it was already unitary time, and it was already dark. The two of them turned back to their lodgings and prepared to rest.

Li Tianqi and Mu Yanyuan slept in the bunk, and after Mu Yanyuan snored, Li Tianqi quietly got up and planned to visit Master Yuanzhen's residence at night.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yanyuan just pretended to be asleep and secretly followed him.

Li Tianqi had already taken out the location of Master Yuanzhen's residence from the mouth of the monk, he passed through a courtyard, and was about to continue walking, when suddenly a figure suddenly flew down from the roof, his mind moved, and he followed closely, and after a while, he came to Master Yuanzhen's residence, and when he was about to go in, he was grabbed from behind, and when he looked back, he was a monk of Huiwu.

Li Tianqi didn't expect that he had also returned to the White Horse Temple, but it was good to come back safely.

At this moment, the lights suddenly lit up in the residence of Master Yuanzhen, is this strange? Isn't he already missing? Why is the light on in the house?

From the mouth of the monk Huiwu, he heard the news of Master Yuanzhen's disappearance and said goodbye to Yang Wen, hurried to the White Horse Temple, and met his master Master Zhikong halfway, although the master and apprentice returned to the White Horse Temple, but found that Master Yuanzhen was not missing, but was still in the abbot's daily work, he felt a little strange, so he decided to find out tonight.

The shadow that Li Tianqi was following was Master Zhikong, and he had gone in alone to meet with the abbot.

It turned out that this was the case, and after hearing Huiwu's explanation, Li Tianqi understood why the temple was still orderly inside and out, and it turned out that Master Yuanzhen had returned to the temple.

But what happened in the Taishan Palace? Or is it that Master Yuanzhen is fake?

Li Tianqi couldn't help but think of the encounter between the Xuanjing Gate Yuan Jue Master and the Ethereal Master of the Shushan Qi Sect, it seemed that a black hand was secretly manipulating all this, quietly controlling or replacing the leaders of some major sects.

Could it be Gong Ling again?

Thinking of this, Li Tianqi couldn't help but shudder again.

There was no sound of quarrel in Gen Yuanzhen's room, and the lights did not flicker, and it seemed that both of them were talking calmly.

Mu Yanyuan stayed behind them for a while, and from Li Tianqi's every move with the monk, he could tell that the two were old acquaintances, and seemed to understand why Li Tianqi wanted to stay here.

However, the sudden light in Master Yuanzhen's room still surprised him a little, he didn't know what Huiwu told Li Tianqi, but he knew that the abbot had disappeared from the news he heard, and he thought that there was a little monk taking care of it.

Suddenly the lights went out, but no one came out.

What's going on? Huiwu touched Li Tianqi's elbow and motioned for him to make an idea, whether to go in and take a look.

Li Tianqi couldn't figure it out, there was no abnormal sound, why was the light in the house turned off?

Although Yuanzhen and Zhikong Mage were still inside, they decided to go in and find out.

Li Tianqi knocked on the door first, and didn't hear any response from inside, so he was about to push the door open, but the door didn't move at all, and the latch was locked inside.

Hui Wu took out an iron bar from his sleeve and slipped through the crack in the door, quickly unbolting the door, and the two entered the room.

Li Tianqi took out the fire fold and lit up a little firelight, and he could see that there was no one inside, only the flame of the candle was still emitting a trace of light smoke.

He lit the candle and took a quick look at it, and there was no sign of a fight in the room, and everything was neatly organized, as if no one had been there at all.

Mu Yan was far away, and Yun Ji's eyesight was also roughly visible, and he looked at the roof again and didn't find anyone coming out of it, he also felt very strange.

Huiwu looked at it for a while, but didn't see anything suspicious, and suddenly realized that the door was not closed, so he closed the door casually.

He asked, "Apocalypse, is this ...... What's going on? ”

"Shhhhhh

If he hadn't cast a spell and left, or he had borrowed a secret passage, he already had a lot of experience.

Huiwu understood, and searched the house with him to see if there was any information agency control.

The hard work paid off, and they turned out bricks of a different color from other floor tiles under the futon of meditation, and hid a hub underneath, and when they pressed it, the ground really opened an underground hole.

A glimmer of light came through it.

The voice of the Zhikong mage could be faintly heard.

Li Tianqi and Huiwu quickly walked into the secret passage without hesitation, and the two of them entered the secret passage, and the hole above slowly closed again.

The walls of the cave are brightly lit and the footprints on the ground are cluttered, and it seems that people used to walk around here a lot.

They searched for the sound and kept running forward, and soon saw Master Zhikong and a woman who was tied hands and feet in large characters hanging in the air, her graceful figure was fully expressed in her well-fitting clothes, but her long hair hanging down completely obscured her face, and her age could not be seen.

Why are there women here?

Li Tianqi and Huiwu couldn't help but be stunned in their hearts.

When Master Zhikong heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around and saw Huiwu and a boy rushing over, and said unhappily: "Huiwu, why didn't you stay outside and didn't say anything when you ran in, and you came with someone?" Who is this? Don't you know that this is the Pure Land of Buddhism? ”

Huiwu said aggrievedly: "Master, isn't the apprentice worried that something will happen to you?" ”

"Humph! What will happen as a teacher! I don't know where I came from, but I dare to pretend to be the abbot of my Buddhism! It's really overwhelming! ”

Huiwu said: "This is none other than the young man Li Tianqi, Li Shizhu!" ”

"Oh?" Master Zhikong's face softened a little, after all, he was caught by the Yimei Dao Chief's design back then, and he almost lost his life, and he still remembered that kindness. "Oh Mida Buddha, it turned out to be Li Shizhu, I haven't seen you for many years, you are a talent."

"I've seen Master Zhikong." Li Tianqi returned the salute.

The woman slowly raised her head, her eyes lit up from her hair, "Li ...... Li Tianqi? As he spoke, his hair slowly moved to the sides, revealing a beautiful face.

Hearing this, Li Tianqi looked at the woman again, and was a little touched at that moment, isn't this Lei Yan Toad's mother? How did she end up here?

Master Zhikong shouted, "Evil obstacles! Why don't you tell me what the hell is going on? Why did the abbot go missing? Otherwise, don't blame the poor monk for turning you into a demon bowl! ”

Lei Yan Toad's mother sneered: "Demon monk, you are all demon monks!" I'm in your hands again, if you want to kill or chop, please hurry up! Fei this lip and tongue to do something! ”

Master Zhikong said, "Do you think the poor monk wouldn't dare? ”

Lei Yan Toad's mother said: "Do it!" ”

Li Tianqi hurriedly said: "Master, slow down!" Can't kill her, she's ......"

Master Zhikong Tie blushed, glanced at Li Tianqi, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Master Li, this has nothing to do with you, maybe you don't know that the abbot of this thousand-year-old temple was captured by these demons. ”

Hui Wu said: "Master, Li Tianqi ...... him" Suddenly saw his master's sharp eyes, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue.

Li Tianqi said: "Master, I know what happened. I just wanted to ask how she was locked up here? What's going on with this underground secret room? Since it is a pure land of Buddhism, how can there be such a place to lock her? ”

"This ......" Master Zhikong was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how there was a secret room.

When he first came, he thought that since it was the presiding abbot inside, it would be okay to talk, and he wanted to take advantage of it to see how there could be rumors about the disappearance of Master Yuanzhen.

However, when he tried to knock on the door, he found that the door was open, and his heart suddenly became suspicious, and after entering the house and lighting the candle, he could not see anyone, and finally found the mechanism under the futon, so he extinguished the candle and entered the secret passage.

Until I found the secret room inside and the bound Lei Yan Toad Mother.

He had caught her in a Turkic country with a Qiankun bag, but was inadvertently rescued. As soon as they met, he was furious, believing that the disappearance of Master Yuanzhen had a great deal to do with her.

Now after Li Tianqi asked, he also felt that things were a little strange, because according to his understanding of Master Yuanzhen, he would not build such a secret room, let alone tie the banshee here.

Lei Yan Toad's mother shouted: "The Yuanzhen Mage you have made in your mouth is a fake! ”

Li Tianqi asked anxiously, "Where is that really?" ”

Lei Yan Toad's mother said, "How do I know...... You remember that I have been kind to your mother, save me! ”

"Fake? This poor monk naturally knows. Otherwise, how could he avoid the poor monks? Master Zhikong suddenly said, "I'll not study these anymore, let the poor monk collect her into a demon bowl and then investigate the whereabouts of the abbot." "After that, you have to turn out the demon bowl.

Li Tianqi hurriedly stopped: "Wait! Let her go! ”
