Seeing that it was finally midnight, it was dark and he couldn't see his five fingers, Lu Xiaotian changed into a night suit and went to Ruishan.

Although Ruishan is heavily guarded, especially in the Taimiao, there are more temple guards to check it, but these are not so difficult for Lu Xiaotian. His kung fu is unmatched by few people in the world, and his concealment skills are even more unbreakable.

Taimiao is not an ordinary temple, it is a historical product that has been inherited by the Northern Qin Dynasty for more than 200 years, the palace is huge, the Taimiao is not small, there are countless temples composed of it, not so much a temple, it is better to say that this is another palace.

It's just a vacant palace, and in the dark night, the Taimiao Temple, which is located on the top of Seosan, is as bright as a star.

Lu Xiaotian stood on top of a big tree outside the Taimiao, the night and the leaves perfectly hid his figure, allowing him to see the entire Taimiao clearly under countless candlelight.

The lights here will never go out, but under the bright lights, Lu Xiaotian can't see a person, it's like it's just an empty temple.

For the temple keepers, he knows more or legends, some people say that these people are martial arts, and some people say that these people are just ordinary monks, of course, there are different opinions, and the views of the family are different.

Lu Xiaotian also belongs to the uncertain category, he neither believes that the night watchman is a hermit master, nor does he believe that those people are just ordinary monks, at least before they meet, he will not let these rumors spread to make a judgment for himself.

Regardless of whether there was anyone or not, he was sure that he would not be discovered, turned his breath to the lowest, and then began to patrol around the outside of the temple.

Since it is going to be renovated, there must be a lot of damage. Lu Xiaotian walked around the outer wall twice, but he didn't see anything bad.

But as Ling Yi said. It is impossible for Gong Chengyan to do this and do nothing, that is to say, the place that needs to be repaired must be in the Taimiao, maybe a certain temple, or some other place.

Lu Xiaotian controlled his aura more carefully not to be noticed, and sneaked into the Taimiao. And the result. After more than an hour of careful searching, he finally found a place that was almost in ruins.

It is not difficult to see that this place has just been burned. Although I don't know for some reason, it is obvious that this place is Gong Chengyan's masterpiece.

**

There was a slight noise from the roof. Ling Yi's eyes widened. knew that it must have been Lu Xiaotian who came back with the news.

She cautiously looked at Gong Xiru next to her, who was sleeping soundly, Ling Yi cautiously got up, put on her clothes and went out with a lantern.

Lu Xiaotian was waiting for her outside, and when he saw her come out, he couldn't help asking, "Sister Zhiyu, why don't you see her and the little girl of the weaving fan sleeping outside." ”

"I'll let them go about their own business, don't forget that you're going to be married in a month." Ling Yi smiled. He sat down and asked, "How's it going?" Did you find any useful clues? ”

"There is a place in the temple that was burned clean by the fire, according to the situation. It was only recently burned, this must have been done by Gong Chengyan, in order to make Lord Ling responsible for this matter, he dared to set fire to the Taimiao, he was really bold enough. Lu Xiaotian sat down and said.

Ling Yi snorted disdainfully: "What else can't he do, what is left of him now?" It's just an immortal heart, he's already let go—"

"So this time - the price comparison is tricky?" Lu Xiaotian asked worriedly.

Ling Yi didn't answer, he pondered for a moment before asking, "You haven't been discovered by anyone, have you?" ”

Lu Xiaotian shook his head, but his face showed a little doubt: "The Taimiao Temple is comparable to the Imperial Palace, such a big place, I didn't even let me see a living person, I even suspect that it is just an empty temple."

But the candles were as bright as day, and except for the one that had been burned, the rest were clean and tidy, and there were hundreds of people in such a large place, but strangely I found no trace of a single person. ”

"Not even a breath?" Ling Yi was surprised. Lu Xiaotian's kung fu is already one of the best, if it is a breath that even he can't detect, there can only be two possibilities.

Either the people there are all masters outside the world, or there, there is no one at all.

"If there are a few people, you may be able to suspect that they are outside the world, but if there are hundreds of people, then the probability is very low." Gong Xiru didn't know when he walked outside, came to Ling Yi's side, and put the cloak in his hand on her.

Ling Yi looked apologetic: "I woke you up just now." ”

Gong Xiru shook his head: "No, I didn't fall asleep in the first place, I know that you let the guards go to check the affairs of the Taimiao, and I also know that you must not be able to sleep before you get the news, you can't sleep, and I can't sleep." ”

Ling Yi smiled slightly, afraid that he would be worried, and comforted: "I have been recuperating much better these days, and my body is much better than before, this time it is about my father, as well as the life and death of my Ling clan, I have to cheer up to deal with it." ”

"I know, I understand." The corners of Gong Xiru's mouth raised slightly, and he said to Lu Xiaotian: "Have you noticed that those candles are burning more or less?" ”

Because Ling Yi had instructed him not to let go of any details, Lu Xiaotian was also very careful when he checked them, and he didn't miss those candles, and thought about it: "Most of them are burned, and many of them have burned to the bottom." ”

Ling Yi and Gong Xiru glanced at each other, both of them had a clear meaning in their eyes, Lu Xiaotian looked at the two of them, and suddenly said: "It is impossible to light candles during the day, according to the burning degree of those candles, they have been burning for at least two nights, or rather, one night and one day."

I'm afraid the candles there tonight won't last until dawn—"

Ling Yi pondered for a long moment and asked the two, "Have you heard of how many temple guards there are?" ”

"There are at least hundreds of people, I have heard Qi Mo talk about it, he said that on the day of his accession to the throne, these temple guards will wear sacrificial clothes and be responsible for the worship activities for his enthronement. And that event, at least more than 200 people. ”

Ling Yi bowed slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, although he tried his best not to believe it, but his thoughts were uncontrollable: "More than two hundred people, they are just ordinary temple keepers, and they are restricted from going down the mountain.

But you didn't perceive any breath, that is, those two hundred people—" She raised her head suddenly, her eyes wandering between Gong Xiru and Lu Xiaotian.

"Those people, I'm afraid they are no longer in this world."

Gong Xiru and Lu Xiaotian glanced at each other, Ling Yi was right, they also thought of this just now, the rules of the Taimiao are strict, and those temple guards are loyal, if the Taimiao is damaged, it is impossible for them not to report it truthfully.

On the other hand, the duty is that they will not let those candles burn until the tail is not replaced, in other words, not no one, but those people, yesterday, I am afraid that they have already been killed. (To be continued.) )
