Nandu Cheng'en Temple.

"Shi is looking for the abbot master? The abbot master has not asked about the world for a long time, and the temple should be handled by the host master Guangyuan. The monk replied to Yang Muyun.

"Then ask the little master to inform Master Guangyuan, and I want to ask him for advice if I have something next." Yang Muyun clarified his identity.

The Guangyuan host has white hair, ruddy complexion, holds Buddhist beads, and wears a yellow monk's robe to worship the Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. After listening to the report of the monk who knew the guest, the boss on his face was impatient, and said: "Let's just say that I suddenly feel unwell today and can't see guests anymore." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a hearty voice coming: "Master Guangyuan dares to speak in front of the Buddha, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame?" ”

The host of Guangyuan turned around and saw a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old who had come to this Daxiong Treasure Hall at some point. Guangyuan presided over his hands and folded his face: "In the pure place of Buddhism, how can Xiao Tanyue enter without invitation?" "The person who came was Yang Muyun.

"Buddhism is not fake, but it is no longer pure, and the master refuses to see guests, can he block right and wrong?" Yang Muyun's words were sarcastic.

"Lao Wei doesn't rap with Xiao Tan, you can ask if you have anything!" Guangyuan hosted a little helpless.

"Master Guangyuan, don't bother me in the future, may I ask if there are any pilgrims who live in your temple leaving this morning?"

"You have already asked many people about this, yes, there are indeed three pilgrims from Luzhou who left today. The list has been handed over to your people to check out. ”

"Anyone else? For example, the monks of your monastery? ”

"And no one."

"Then may I ask Master Guangyuan to know a pilgrim surnamed Jia who often comes to the temple to offer incense?"

"There are many people who offer incense in the temple, how can the old man remember them one by one?" Guangyuan replied lightly.

"The great benevolent man who sent a coffin to the temple three days ago to park it, the master will not know it, right?"

"You said that the donor surnamed Jia is from Luzhou and does not live in this temple."

"And where does he live? Can the master give me some advice? Yang Muyun's heart moved, such a coincidence, they are all from Luzhou?

"That's not something the old man can know."

"And what about the coffin he sent?"

"It was taken away by the family of the deceased early in the morning."

"What hour?"

"It's also the hour."

"Someone is missing in the temple, why does the host still let people go in and out of the temple and take things from the temple?"

Xiao Tanyue's words are very interesting, Cheng'en Temple is not an official government, how to restrict others from entering and leaving freely? As for the coffin, it was temporarily parked in the temple by someone else, and its family came to claim it, how could the old man stop it? ”

-------------------

Coming out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Yang Muyun looked up at the sky and was thinking about what to do next. Duan Xiaoqi walked towards him quickly.

"My lord, my subordinates have searched all over the area of Qingping Bridge on Zhuque Street, and no one knows a great benevolent person surnamed Jia." Duan Xiaoqi came to please.

"Got it. This morning, I asked you to send someone to follow the group of people who returned to their hometowns to support the coffin, what is the situation now? Yang Muyun asked.

"They went out of the Three Mountains Gate, got on a boat, and headed north."

"Keep an eye on it, don't lose it again." Yang Muyun instructed.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will never dare to make any more mistakes."

Yang Muyun nodded and walked towards the guest room in the backyard of the temple. As soon as he walked through a corner gate, he met Ning Zu'er who was traveling from the moon gate on the other side. Without waiting for Yang Muyun to speak, Ning Zuer smiled and said, "Did Yang Baihu find out the matter so quickly?" Yang Muyun snorted and did not speak. He felt that this handsome guy to the bone was extremely annoying.

"Miss Shisu, in order to thank me for saving my life, is going to hold a banquet to entertain me tonight, do you want Yang Baihu to go with you?" Ning Zuer shook the folding fan and said with a smile.

Yang Muyun's fist tightened, and he couldn't wait to throw a punch on the bridge of his nose and hit him all over the face.

--------------------

In the room where His Royal Highness King Yu disappeared, Shen Yun paced back and forth, and Gan Ying and Jiang Wei stood aside.

"Haven't the three pilgrims who left the temple in the morning been found?" Shen Yun looked at Gan Ying.

"Back to my lord, I have sent people to the various city gates to investigate, and I believe that there will be news soon." Gan Ying replied.

"Everyone in the temple, what's so suspicious?" Shen Yun asked Jiang Wei.

"Not yet." Jiang Wei replied.

Shen Yun frowned, heard a knock on the door, and looked up to see Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer walking in together.

"How? What did you find? Shen Yun asked the two of them.

Yang Muyun's eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't speak.

Ning Zu'er glanced at him and said to Shen Yunyu: "My lord, my subordinates suspect that His Royal Highness King Yu and Princess Yongqing were hidden in the coffin parked in the temple and smuggled out of the temple. ”

"When was the coffin taken out of the temple?" Shen Yun asked.

"Today's hour."

"It's noon, two full hours have passed, and the coffin has been transported out of the city, isn't it?" Shen Yun stared at him and asked.

"My subordinates have sent someone to investigate, and I believe there will be news soon."

"Humph! Soon, Gonggong Li has already reported the matter of the abduction of the two highnesses to the capital, if the matter of the two highnesses is not clear before the emperor's will comes, you ......" Shen Yun paused, his eyes were shining, and he swept over everyone in the room like a blade.

Yang Muyun took a step forward and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates of the thieves who smuggled the coffin have sent people to follow, and now they have gone out of Sanshanmen, got on a boat, and are heading towards the river." ”

"Oh?" Shen Yun's eyes lit up, and his face was happy: "With their traces, why don't you arrest them?" ”

"At that time, the subordinates were not enough, if they did it, not only would they not be able to save the two highnesses, but they would alarm the thieves, so I sent people to follow them first." Yang Muyun explained.

"Good! It's a good ......" Shen Yun excitedly circled around the room several times, raised his head and said to Yang Muyun: "Muyun, if this case is solved, this official should take credit for your first work." Now you hurry up and lead someone to catch up, the two highnesses can't make a mistake. By the way, Zu'er, you go with Mu Yun, and you must catch these thieves as soon as possible......"

Yang Muyun walked out of Cheng'en Temple with a gloomy face, Ning Zuer followed behind with a smile on his face, and said in a weird manner: "Yang Baihu is really able to penetrate the heavens and the earth, you can see the thief as soon as you pass in front of you, good ability!" Good skills! ”

"Are you scared?" Yang Muyun teased: "The beauty has an appointment in the evening, you should stay in Nandu!" ”

"Are you afraid that I will steal credit from you? Rest assured, as long as you don't follow the shame, this credit is still yours. Is this a beautiful woman? It's the same with waiting for the case to be completed and then making an appointment. Ning Zuer had a beaten expression on her face.

"I just think you're annoying and don't want to walk with you." Yang Muyun finally couldn't help it.

Ning Zuer smiled.

"It's okay, I only care about women who like me, and men hate me or not, what's the matter?" His slender eyes were exquisite, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled like a thousand-year-old fox.

Yang Muyun suddenly felt like swallowing a duck egg in his throat, and he was greasy and crooked from the inside out.

---------------------

Jiangpu County, Jiangbei.

In a ruined temple by the Yangtze River, Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer led a group of people around a black lacquered coffin. Captain Sun Yin said to Yang Muyun: "My lord, after the group carried the coffin into this temple for about half a pillar of incense, they changed their clothes, and then escorted out two people, one of whom was a man who looked like a man and wore a scarlet robe. The other was twelve or thirteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed as a scholar. That's right......" Sun Yin took out something from his arms and handed it to Yang Muyun: "The little one found this object in the coffin, adults take a look." ”

The starting point is a piece of yellow jade, which is crystal clear and warm throughout, without a trace of impurities, and is made of the best sweet topaz. The jade pendant is engraved with lines on both sides, and in the middle is the word "Yu". Yang Muyun only felt that this jade pendant was familiar, and thought about it carefully: "Isn't this the jade pendant worn by Cheng Yu Cheng Gongzi, who competed with himself at the gate of Yingtianfu Guozi School a few days ago?" Could it be that Cheng Gongzi is His Royal Highness King Yu? ”

"His Royal Highness King Yu has the word "Yu" in his name, it seems that this jade pendant is the belongings of His Royal Highness King Yu, the twelve or thirteen-year-old scholar is the same age as Princess Yongqing, and it should be a princess dressed as a man. It can be seen from this that the thieves must be holding His Royal Highness King Yu and Princess Yongqing hostage. Ning Zuer analyzed.

"Where did those thieves go to take the two Highnesses hostage?" Yang Muyun put away the jade pendant and asked Sun Yin.

"They went west, and Zhao Liang and Qian Yong followed them all the way, leaving marks along the way."

"Let's catch up." Yang Muyun said to everyone.

----------------------

Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer and their party chased west for five days.

"My lord, that's right, it's the mark left by Zhao Liang and Qian Yong." Sun Yin pointed to a strange fish mark carved on a tree, which was a mark unique to Jinyiwei.

Yang Muyun looked at it, and in front of him was the continuous reckless mountains. The mountains are smoky, the trees are lush, and the roads twist and turn. Do you want to go into the mountains? Yang Muyun hesitated for a moment.

Ning Zuer opened the folding fan with a "brush", and there was a rare solemnity on his face, and he said to Yang Muyun: "How is it?" Do you want to go into the mountains? ”

Yang Muyun thought for a while, and said: "We have a group of more than 200 people, and everyone is riding horses, so it is too quiet to enter the mountain like this, it is better for you to take a large group of people and horses to garrison outside the mountain, I will take a small team of capable people and horses into the mountain on foot, and then contact you when the situation is clarified." Determine the next steps. ”

Ning Zu'er smiled: "Why don't you take a large group of people to garrison outside the mountain, and let me take people into the mountain?" ”

Yang Muyun also smiled, and said in his heart: This is not a good thing, do you still need to fight? said: "It's too dangerous to enter the mountain, you have an appointment with a beautiful woman, and I don't care, or I'll go!" ”

"Are you really willing to give her up to me?" There was a hint of provocation at the corner of Ning Zuer's mouth: "Don't regret it." ”

"She's not one of mine, so I'll give it to you." After a few days of entanglement, Yang Muyun finally wanted to open it.

"But she seems to have a deep affection for you when she mentions you in front of me, and you really want to give up?" Ning Zu'er sneered.

"What is your purpose in mentioning her in front of me three or four times?" Yang Muyun asked impatiently.

"It's nothing, because I like to see you jealous, and men are cute when they're jealous." Ning Zuer shook the folding fan twice, and smiled with her eyebrows.

-----------------------

Yang Muyun took more than a dozen people into the mountain. Except for Sun Yin, all of these dozen people are not weak, including six people under his command, including Duan Xiaoqi, and five people under Ning Zuer.

The group cut through thorns and thorns in the mountains, and I don't know how long they walked, and it was getting dark. Yang Muyun instructed: "Find a nearby place with higher ground and more open ground to camp, and in addition, don't use open fire." Duan Xiaoqi agreed, and was about to give the order. Suddenly, I heard someone whisper, "Look, there's a big house over there." ”

Everyone looked along the place where he pointed out, and sure enough, they saw that on the flat ground in the mountains opposite, there was a large mansion with about eight or nine courtyards. If you can rest in the house, it is naturally better than sleeping in the wilderness, and everyone's eyes gather on Yang Muyun's side and listen to his orders. Yang Muyun thought for a moment and ordered: "Duan Xiaoqi, you take the two of you over to investigate first, and the others pay attention to vigilance." ”

"My lord, it's an empty house, and there's no one in it." It didn't take much effort for Duan Xiaoqi to return and report to Yang Muyun.

"Is it an abandoned mansion?" Yang Muyun asked.

"Probably not, everything inside is clean, it should be occupied, but there is just no one in sight."

"Huh?" Yang Muyun glanced around at everyone and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”

Pushing open the dark door, Yang Muyun led everyone in. As soon as you enter the courtyard, a gray brick road in the middle leads straight to the hall. The hall doors are four dark red doors, and the middle two doors are slightly open. The rhombic wooden windows in the side porch are also open, setting off the dim sky, which looks a little weird.

Entering the hall, there are several symmetrical square tables and chairs on both sides, and in front of the central wall is a rosewood case, and a bronze incense burner is placed in the center of the table. In front of the table is a square table of four immortals, with a Taishi chair on the left and right sides, all of which are made of rosewood. In the middle of the wall hangs a painting of Avalokiteshvara sitting on a huge lotus throne. Different from the ordinary portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva in this painting is extremely beautiful, and the eyes reveal not compassion, but extremely enchanting.

Yang Muyun felt a commotion in his heart, and said secretly: "The portrait alone has already shaken people's hearts, if it were a real person, wouldn't it be even more upside down for all beings, and it would be really strange to paint the Bodhisattva like this." "I stepped forward and put my hand into the incense burner, and the ashes were still warm. He turned to the crowd and said, "You all go down and take a look, don't move the things in this house, and report anything strange to me immediately." The crowd answered in unison, and dispersed.
