On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the folk call it "the small year", because on this day, every household is at home to sacrifice the stove, incense, and prepare for the New Year, according to the day, there should not be many ordinary temple pilgrims.

"Xiangyin Nunnery" is quite strange today, from the morning the door of the nunnery opened, the pilgrims have not been broken, the most peculiar thing is that the pilgrims are mostly male guests, so that some female guests have to avoid, there are also those who hurriedly go out of the nunnery after the incense to go back.

Jing Hollow muttered to himself in his heart, secretly saying that these people didn't come to make trouble in the nunnery? Looking closely, these pilgrims are not five big and three coarse, fierce and vicious people, and their hearts are a little more settled.

Not worried, Jingkong still went to find the master first, but the master didn't know where he went early in the morning, and he hadn't come back at this time, and even the morning class was done by the senior brother Jingzhen with all the senior brothers.

Jingkong looked at the dozen or so male guests, thought about it, and walked towards the clean room of Jingzhen in the backyard, but did not notice that there was a person following behind.

Entering Jingzhen's room, she saw Senior Brother Jingzhen kneeling on the futon and chanting as usual, Jingkong secretly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and seemed to have a backbone again, she clasped her hands together and shouted, "Senior Brother Jingzhen." ”

The nun on the futon opened her eyes when she heard the sound and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, a man's voice came from outside the door, "Master Jingzhen? ”

I saw a man standing at the door, looking at Jing Zhen with both hands and arms, not even any words, Jing Zhen seemed to have understood, she stood up and looked at the person with an inquiring eye, the man nodded, Jing Zhen smiled, lowered his head and carefully smoothed the folds on his robe, and said, "Let's go", and the two walked forward one after the other.

At this time, the door of the nunnery was closed, and those male guests showed their identities, but it turned out to be the official of the Kaifeng Mansion, and they gathered a group of female nuns in the Buddhist hall to ask questions separately, but found that the owner of the nunnery was nowhere to be found, and no one knew after asking.

Jing Zhen and the man walked through the Buddha hall, Jing Zhen looked at the man and pleaded, "If the official has any questions, the poor nun is willing to answer, please let my senior brother and others go." ”

The man snorted and said, "Can you tell where the cause goes?" Where are the women whom you have spent your money to take captive? You, the brothers and sisters, are all dedicated to cultivating Buddhism, haven't you ever done anything pickled? If you tell them the source, I will let them go."

Jing Zhen's face changed slightly, then lowered her eyes, and stopped talking.

Walking out of the gate of the nunnery, she stopped, turned around and looked up at the three words "Xiangyin Nunnery", and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

On this day and night, the 'Xiangyin Nunnery' was quite quiet, because the nuns in the nunnery were all taken to the Kaifeng Mansion for questioning, and now only an empty nunnery stood alone in the cold wind.

The nunnery is black everywhere, and the three Buddha statues in the Buddha hall with a solemn appearance have lost the glittering golden light in the daytime.

At this time, the back of a Buddha statue in the middle was slowly removed, and a black shadow poked its head out and listened, and found that there was no movement, so it jumped lightly and fell to the ground. Then the black shadow went around to the front of the Buddha statue, waved his hand at the Buddha statue out of nowhere, and the mouth behind it quietly closed.

The shadow grinned in satisfaction, and walked backwards with a swift step.

A chuckle came from the dark corner, and another burst of applause rang out, "Because Master is really calculating, what is the unfinished matter of appearing here in the middle of the night?" ”

The Black Shadow didn't deny her identity, she paused and asked, "How did you find out about this?" ”

Two figures slowly walked out of the darkness, and one of them said with a smile, "Using the Buddha's body as the entrance to the secret path is really extremely smart, but the master is not afraid of the Buddha's blame?" ”

"The Buddha said, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?'" And how could he blame me? He sneered.

"It's really a lotus flower, but it's a pity that because of the master's sin, you will go to hell in the future, and the Buddha really can't blame you." The dark shadow said.

"Who are you? What's going on here? Before he could finish speaking, one flew out.

The two of them were not in a hurry to chase after them, and the person in front of them only shouted, "Release"!

As soon as he ran to the outside of the Buddha hall, he saw a big net under his head, and he was caught off guard, and he was trapped in the net, where the lights flickered, and at the same time there were four people with torches around him, and each of them firmly grasped the four corners of the net.

The two of them in the Buddhist hall slowly paced to Yin's side, but it was Zhao Xian's master and servant, and Zhao Xian, who had been standing behind, "Tut" said, "Because Master is very skilled." ”

He was not in a hurry, and sneered, "What did the poor nun do? And to be treated like this? ”

"Fornicating in the temple, instigating apprentices to kill, and kidnapping innocent women, can they be regarded as innocent?" Zhao Xian asked rhetorically.

"Is there any evidence for you to slander the poor nuns like this?" The reason for the strong words said.

"If there is no evidence, how can I look for you?" Zhao Yan in front said coldly.

Seeing that the matter was defeated, she didn't say more, only drooped one arm, and quickly slid down a handful of Buddha dust from her sleeve, her thumb moved slightly, and the Buddha dust popped out of it A sword, and under a few swings of the sword, the big net broke inch by inch and fell to the ground.

When the four people holding the net saw this, they casually pulled out their personal weapons and blocked the cause, but the sword was sharpened like clay, and all the weapons of the four people were cut off with just one move.

"You wait to retreat" Zhao Yan was afraid that his subordinates would be injured, so he hurriedly shouted. Hearing this, the four of them quickly retreated, only standing aside and sweeping the formation.

Zhao Yan, who was standing in front, stepped forward, casually pulled out the soft sword on his waist and greeted it, and the two of them passed more than a dozen moves in an instant, but their skills were comparable, and they did not see a victory.

Seeing that she was entangled by this person, she was a little anxious, if she didn't get out, she was afraid that these people would have backup, she rolled her eyes, and saw the man standing on the other side, the man was quite young, and he had been standing behind before, but it seemed that everyone listened to him, so why not take him as a hostage.

Thinking of this, because of a false move, revealing a flaw, Zhao Yan immediately pushed it over with a palm, and because she was hit in the chest by a palm, she suppressed the surging qi and blood, and retreated in the direction of Zhao Xian.

Zhao Xian immediately understood the purpose of the cause, but her back was the door of the Buddha Hall, and only by knocking the door into the Buddha Hall could she retreat into the Buddha Hall, and she could only move her steps towards the Buddha Hall, but at this time, the sword of the cause was already pointing at her throat.

Zhao Yan was in a hurry, she only hated her carelessness, and was taken advantage of by this reason, she jumped in the direction of Zhao Xian, but she hoped to block the sword with her body.

Because she seemed to expect her move, she kicked back with her flying legs, and met Zhao Yan's body without looking back. As long as Zhao Yan is kicked in this kick, he will definitely be injured; If Zhao Yan dodge, her sword can restrain Zhao Xian, which is really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

At this time, a handful of incense ashes in the Buddhist hall were sprinkled towards the door of the face, and the sleeve of the robe in his left hand was rolled up and blocked, and when he closed his eyes, he only heard two sounds of "ding" and "poof", and an incense burner blocked the tip of her sword pointing at Zhao Xian, and at the same time Zhao Xian was pulled into the Buddhist hall; The other sound was that a futon was flying out, blocking Zhao Yan's forward pounce.

When she put down the sleeves of her robe and opened her eyes, there was a man standing in front of her, Zhao Xian was already in the Buddha hall, but Zhao Yan was standing behind her with a sword and looked at her hatefully.

"Who are you?" With a snort, she waved her head at the man.

The man didn't dodge, only met the palm of his hand, the two only slapped each other, and the cause couldn't help but take a few steps back, the man took a step forward, and stood in front of the cause, he slapped a few times against the cause, and the cause suddenly withered, and there was no power to fight back.

At this time, Zhao Xianfang in the Buddha hall walked out of it with a smile and shouted, "Senior brother, it's good that you came, otherwise I would have been taken hostage by this nun girl." ”

Li Yi, who was called a senior brother, looked at Zhao Xian and reproached, "You still need to work hard, otherwise you won't have the power to protect yourself." ”

She struggled to sit up, only to feel pain in her chest and limbs, she opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and asked in a dumb voice, "Who are you?" What is the intention? ”

Zhao Xian said, "Don't worry, you'll know later." Then he nodded to the four people who took the net before, one stepped forward to pick up the cause, and the rest followed Zhao Xian into the Buddhist hall.

They lit all the lamps and candles in the Buddha hall, and the hall suddenly lit up, Zhao Yan walked to the Buddha statue in the middle, jumped up, looked carefully, and then touched the navel of the Buddha statue with the hilt of the sword.

I heard a man shouting from behind the Buddha statue, "It is finished." ”

Everyone went around to the back of the Buddha statue again, only to see a hole behind the Buddha statue, looking down from the hole, the hole is about one zhang high, and a group of people jumped down one by one.

As soon as you reach the bottom of the cave, you will enter a stone door, and there is a disc embedded in the side of the stone door, but it is a Qiankun disk. Because she was mentioned to the door, Zhao Yan pushed her and said, "Let's open."

Because of the rolling of his eyes, Fang stretched out his hand to the front of the plate, and Li Yi said, "Wait, I'll try." ”

He took a closer look, closed his eyes and thought about it, then turned the disk a few times left and right, only to hear the door squeak and slowly open it.

With a look of disappointment on his face, Zhao Yan kicked her angrily and scolded, "You thief, you are too cunning." ”

After the door opened, a long secret passage appeared in front of everyone, looking from a distance, the walls on both sides of the secret passage were lit with lamps and candles every other section, which seemed to be quite bright in the secret passage, and everyone walked in.
