Chapter 223: Tracking

After the thunder and lightning, the heavy rain fell, and the rain caught a group of people crowded outside a secluded courtyard in Nanguan Temple by surprise, more than a dozen lanterns shook in the rain, and a few were instantly extinguished by the rain.

Outside the courtyard, the leader was the wealthy Wan Yuan in Xiangyang City, and behind him, a powerful man rushed to the front and kicked the courtyard door open.

Wan Yuan was angry outside, and with a wave of his arm, the servants behind him immediately rushed into the courtyard and went straight to the meditation room where the former wild monk was.

After a while, the people rushed out again, and searched several meditation rooms in a row one by one, and the rooms were turned into a mess, but no one was found.

A few drops of rain fell down his forehead, and Wan Yuanwai's face was even more gloomy and terrifying, and the servant behind him took two steps and opened the umbrella in his hand and propped it up on the top of Wan Yuanwai's head.

Wan Yuanwai was a little puzzled, obviously he came immediately after getting the secret report, and he was almost sure that his daughter Xiuniang was only not too long before him, and he did not delay a little, and he also had a detailed map of the temple, why when he came straight to this place, these people were gone.

"Amitabha!" A Buddha horn sounded behind him, and the deacon of Nanguan Temple stepped forward to persuade: "The donor should please go back, the old man doesn't speak, and Senior Brother Ye has indeed not returned for a long time." ”

Wan Yuanwai sneered a few times and said, "Monk! If you are a good monk, now this wild bald donkey is lustful, hooking up with women from good families in every way, but your temple does not care, if I sue Nanguan Temple to the government in a paper letter, and see how you deal with yourself? ”

"Donor be careful!" The deacon looked unhappy and said, "Ren is donor who donated a lot of sesame oil money in the past, and you can't frame your junior brother like this, let alone slander this temple at will." ”

Seeing that his subordinates really couldn't find the wild monk and his daughter, he couldn't bear to be wordy with this bald donkey, so he waved his hand and led a group of people to leave the temple quickly.

After the noisy people left, the surroundings instantly became quiet again, and the deacon stood in the courtyard and looked at the utility room thoughtfully, and the little novice with the lantern behind him saw that the master had not made a sound for a long time, and couldn't help but shout: "Master! ”

The deacon came back to his senses and looked at the little novice and said with a wry smile, "Go back!" Tomorrow this courtyard will be locked, and no one will be allowed to enter. ”

The little novice replied softly, handed the umbrella in his hand again, and the two walked slowly out of the courtyard in the rain.

The surroundings were dark again, the courtyard was silent, the roof suddenly moved, a slender figure jumped down, this person after the wild monk and a few people entered the utility room, before the ten thousand people came out, he jumped from the back wall to the roof, he knew that the wild monk disappeared in the utility room, and faintly guessed that there must be a secret passage in the house, but the servants outside the ten thousand people did not find it.

The man looked left and right, flashed into the utility room with a shake of his body, closed the door, he took out the fire fold from his arms and blew it up, and took a picture around the house, and saw through the faint light of the fire fold that this person was actually the coachman who drove Wan Xiuniang and the two to come here before.

He took the fire fold and shone it to the corner, and suddenly felt that there was something strange about it, according to his previous level of good at mechanisms, he guessed that there must be a hole or something like this, but it was not easy to find the opening mechanism.

But he didn't want to waste time looking for the mechanism, and after shining the fire fold again, he resolutely left the room, and disappeared into the wall with a few quick movements.

The man returned to the place where the carriage had been hidden, and took out a very delicate net from under the horse's belly, which he unfastened, and gently took out a small bird, which looked like an ordinary sparrow.

The bird seemed to be very spiritual, and had been silent in the net for a long time, but when it was released, the bird stood on the hands of the coachman with both feet and squeaked.

The coachman pinched a handful of fine pieces from his waist pocket and brought them close to the tip of the bird's nose, and the bird sniffed for a while, looked up at the man, flapped its wings, and flew away.

But it was raining, and the bird flew very low, and the coachman took out a suit from behind the carriage, and put it on his body, and untied the two horses from the carriage, and stepped on one of them.

He beckoned to the bird again, and it flew low in front of him, and the coachman rode after him.

Then there was the sound of the horse's hooves in the distance, and the sound was not clear because of the rain, but the man's ears were very sensitive, and he heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and he pulled the reins, and the horse stopped at once, and the man sat quietly on the horse's back and waited.

In just a moment, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard clearly, and a horse galloped in the rain, and when the coachman saw the man on horseback, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed softly: "Young Master Yin!" ”

The horse came to the coachman in an instant, isn't the young man Yin Ren on the horse? He stopped the horse under him, and looked at the coachman, but he felt that he was quite familiar with his body, but he did not know his face at all.

Yin Ren's mind flashed, and he said, "Ah Yan? ”

The coachman nodded.

Yin Ren asked, "What about your master?" ”

Ah Yan whispered a brief pass, and then pointed to the bird that landed in her hand and said, "I was about to rely on this snow eagle to go after the master." ”

Yin Ren carefully looked at the inconspicuous so-called snow eagle, and was very worried about Zhao Xian's safety, so he didn't ask much at the moment, only said, "Let's go quickly!" You lead the way before your head".

The two followed Snow Eagle all the way south in the rain, and in only a quarter of an hour, they reached the ferry.

The Snow Eagle was hovering low in one place, somewhere on the dock, and the boat that had been parked there had apparently left the dock.

Ah Yan grabbed the snow eagle and put it in his robe, stood there and looked around, thinking that it was night, and it was raining, and it was obviously a little difficult to hire a small boat to continue to follow the birds, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

Yin Ren thought about it carefully, looked at the dock again, and said to Ah Yan, "Come with me." He walked towards another small ship moored on the dock, Ah Yan knew that Yin Ren had a lot of scheming, so he hurriedly followed him.

Yin Ren quietly walked onto the ship, pushed open the cabin door and entered, the ship was dark, only the loud snoring sounded together, Ah Yan handed the fire fold in the dark, and Yin Ren lit the oil lamp on the ship.

The sleeping boatman was suddenly awakened, and when he looked up to see two strangers standing in the cabin, he asked in fright, "What are you going to do?" ”

A silver ticket was handed to him, and the boatman instantly sobered up, and his eyes lit up.

Yin Ren said in a low voice: "Paddle us to Fancheng." ”

The boatman listened attentively to the sound of rain outside, and thought that it was not safe to row at night, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

Yin Ren took out another silver ticket and flicked it, saying, "With these silver tickets, there must be many people who are willing to go." ”

Seeing the two silver tickets dangling in front of him, the boatman didn't hesitate anymore, turned over and got up to take the silver tickets, and replied busily: "Yes!" Willing! ”

Yin Ren took it in his hand, stuffed the silver ticket back into his arms, and said, "Hurry up and sail the boat, and pay it when you arrive in Fancheng." ”

Where would the boatman be delayed, put on his cloak and went out of the hatch.

Ah Yan asked softly, "How did Gongzi Yin know that his master would go to Fancheng?" ”
