Zheng Yu was thoughtful, suddenly heard a cry, stared at it, and saw the branches and leaves of a big tree shaking, and a flexible black shadow flashed.

"What's that?" Yang Muyun couldn't help asking.

"It's a monkey." Zheng Yu said lightly. There are many monkeys in Annan, which are very common in the countryside, and sometimes they will run into the city, Zheng Yu is no longer surprised.

"If this assassin wants to be like a monkey, it shouldn't be difficult to get out." Yang Muyun sighed.

"What did you say?" Zheng Yu's gaze looked at Yang Muyun.

"I ...... Did I say something wrong? Yang Muyun was taken aback by her reaction.

"Catch that monkey." Zheng Yu instructed his subordinates in Annan dialect.

Although Yang Muyun couldn't understand what she said in Annan, she could roughly guess what she meant, and asked in surprise: "Is there anything wrong with that monkey?" ”

Zheng Yu didn't answer, his eyes were solemn. He wouldn't have noticed this detail in normal times, but now...... Not to mention that it was getting late, the murderous atmosphere in the city was enough to scare away all the monkeys, let alone move around the trees in the crowded neighborhood.

Watching Zheng Yu lead people to chase after him, Yang Muyun's heart moved, "Could it be that the graphics drawn on the cloth are related to that monkey?" ”

......

The monkey's body was very agile, jumping left and right between the roof tiles at the head of the wall, and if it weren't for Zheng Yu's good eyesight, he would hardly have caught its traces.

Except for Yang Muyun, the rest of the people were left behind by Zheng Yu far behind. The two of them followed the monkey's whereabouts as they flew over the roofs and walls of the houses in the city, like two big pengs.

The monkey sped over a high roof and disappeared.

The two of them stood on the ridge of the roof and looked around blankly, and couldn't help but glance around.

After a while, Zheng Yu's men in strong suits ran to the house panting, looking up at Zheng Yu and waiting for her order.

"Fence this place," Zheng Yu commanded in a deep voice, "search me carefully!" ”

Everyone responded in unison, and they scattered in all directions.

Zheng Yu was still standing on the ridge of the roof, closely watching the movements around him. It is taller than the surrounding buildings, and you can see it in a radius of dozens of feet.

Yang Muyun wanted to jump down and search with those men in strong suits, but was stopped by Zheng Yu, "You don't have to go down, stay here with me." ”

"Hmm." Yang Muyun stopped.

This is a relatively well-to-do family in Huazhou City, and suddenly a group of wolf-like people broke in, and everyone was frightened.

Or the owner of the house has insight, seeing that the knives in the hands of this group of men are the standard weapons in the Annan army, they knew that this was a group of plainclothes soldiers, so he boldly stepped forward and forced out a smile and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have searched here during the day, and there is nothing." Besides, the villain's family is a good citizen, and they really don't dare to hide the thief, so please sit down in the lobby for a while, and the villain will serve ...... in a while" Before he finished speaking, a cold blade was placed on his neck, which frightened him into an exclamation.

A big man with a green cloth head and a rather powerful appearance said with a gloomy face: "Stay here honestly for me, and if you want to be verbose, be careful that I cut you with a knife." With a wave of his hand, he said to the person behind him: "Hurry up and search!" ”

......

"Miss thinks the monkey is hiding in this family, right?" Seeing that the people below were holding torches and searching everywhere, Yang Muyun couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Yu didn't seem to hear his question, stared at the people below, and sighed lightly, "Although Zheng Yong is loyal and reliable, he always has a lot of brains when it comes to doing things...... "You call me Miss?" ”

"I'm your slave now," Yang Muyun smiled slightly, "What do you call Miss if you don't call me?" ”

Zheng Yu had a mask on her face, and she couldn't see her expression, only to see her eyes staring at Yang Muyun for a while, and then turning to the side.

After a while, a tall and mighty strong man with a green cloth head came to the bottom of the house and bowed to Zheng Yuyao and said, "Miss Yu, I have searched it all, but I have found nothing." ”

Zheng Yu stared at him and didn't say a word.

The strong man's body trembled, he felt a little chill down his spine, and hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Keep searching, take a closer look at every corner, and there are ...... on the beams of the house" said and went into the room below.

Looking at Zheng Yu's cold look, although Yang Muyun couldn't understand the strong man's words, he also knew that he had found nothing, and sighed secretly in his heart, "This person must be Zheng Yong as Zheng Yu said, he really has a tendon in doing things, if this is the case, he can find out something, and the previous Annan officers and soldiers have already found out." Sneaking a glance at Zheng Yu, "No wonder she wants me to be his servant, it turns out that there is no powerful person around her." Looking around, except for the relatively large search below, there was silence everywhere else, and the monkey that had been tracking seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

The houses around the roof were low, presumably inhabited by ordinary people, and behind the ridge was a clearing in which there was nothing but a tree.

"It's a lot of fun for this tree to grow." Yang Muyun's eyes were attracted by this tree, the thick trunk was like countless dead vines entangled, the branches stretched out in all directions, the leaves were wide and dense, and they gathered on the branches like umbrella covers.

Zheng Yu saw that he was looking at the tree in a daze, so he said: "This is the Bodhi tree, it should be rare to see it in your Ming Dynasty." ”

"Is this the Bodhi tree?" Yang Muyun was surprised: "Legend has it that the Buddha practiced under the Bodhi tree and preached the scriptures, is this the Bodhi tree?" ”

"The Bodhi tree that followed Shakyamuni Buddha's practice is in Tianzhu, and it is thousands of years old, much taller than this one." Zheng Yu smiled: "If you really want to practice, you might as well go to Tianzhu to find that Bodhi tree!" ”

"Have you ever been to Tianzhu?" Yang Muyun turned to her and asked.

"No," Zheng Yu shook his head slightly, "Buddhism in Zhancheng is prosperous, and many Zhan people have been to Tianzhu, if you are interested, you might as well ask Zhan Ren." ”

"How many people are in Huazhou City?" Yang Muyun asked again.

"It should be more than me in other state capitals," Zheng Yu said: "After all, this place is next to the city of Zhan, and many people from the city of Zhan must pass through Huazhou first when they come to my city, otherwise those assassins who occupy people will not easily mix in the city of Zhanzhou." ”

"Zhan people believe in Buddhism, they must like the Bodhi tree very much?" Yang Muyun said.

"Of course, if you go to the Champa country, you will see that every house of the Cham people has a Bodhi tree!" Zheng Yu smiled and said.

"Hmm......" Yang Muyun seemed thoughtful, jumped down from the roof to this clearing, and slowly walked to the Bodhi tree.

"What are you going to do?" Zheng Yu asked from afar.

Yang Muyun didn't answer, but just looked at the Bodhi tree for a moment.

Zheng Yu also flew down and came to his side, "Are you so interested in this lesson Bodhi Tree?" There was something strange in her voice.

"Miss, ......" Yang Muyun glanced around the clearing, behind the Bodhi tree was the Huazhou city wall, in front was the Yin Shi house that was being searched, and on the left and right were the courtyard walls of the other two families.

"What do you want to say to me?" Zheng Yu was puzzled.

"What I don't understand is, why don't the people around me enclose this vacant land?" Yang Muyun touched his chin and said.

"There are more vacant spaces in Huazhou City that have not been circled by residents," Zheng Yu laughed and said, "What's so strange about this piece not being circled?" ”

"But this open space is really a bit strange," Yang Muyun pointed to the impermeable wall around him and said, "Miss, look, this side is the city wall, and both sides are."

The courtyard wall, behind which was the wall of the house, did not allow a single door or passage to enter the clearing. ”

Zheng Yu followed his fingers and looked around, and as he said, this place was surrounded by a dead place.

"Let's not care about the house wall and the city wall," Yang Muyun said, "The courtyard walls on both sides are more than high, and we have rarely seen ordinary houses build such high courtyard walls along the way." ”

"Hmm." Zheng Yu agreed, "This wall is much higher than other houses. ”

"In this way, no one can usually enter here," Yang Muyun smiled and said, "Unless you and I have extremely high light body skills, you can jump into here." ”

Zheng Yu bowed slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"But young lady, look," Yang Muyun said, pointing to the clearing, "The weeds in this clearing have been pulled out cleanly, and there is not even a single leaf falling, which is very different from the other unguarded and overgrown open spaces in the city. It can be seen that someone has specially sorted it out. ”

"You're right," Zheng Yu raised his eyes to look at the high wall, "ordinary people wouldn't go to such trouble to tidy up this clearing. ”

"Then it can only be a master like you and me," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "But how could a master come here to tidy up the vacant land for no reason?" ”

Zheng Yu realized something, and hurriedly turned out the picture that Ruan Ling gave them from his body. Judging from the curvy strokes on it, it is really similar to the branches and leaves of this Bodhi tree.

"So, it's a tree." Zheng Yu's eyes lit up and said.

"The monkey disappeared when he climbed over the ridge." Yang Muyun looked up at the high roof behind him.

"You mean the monkey is hiding in this tree?" Zheng Yu stared at it, the Bodhi tree in front of him was full of branches and leaves, and the sky was already dark, so he couldn't see what was hidden on it.

At this time, there were human voices on the wall, and the two looked sideways, only to see Zheng Yong holding a torch high, holding it on the wall of the courtyard wall on the side and looking at them, with an excited face, "Miss, it turns out that you are here, but you can find the villain so hard." ”

"Don't let them all come over yet." Zheng Yu said angrily.

"Yes...... Zheng Yong nodded his head and shouted behind him, "A few more ladders...... Hurry up, Miss is here! Be careful, I'll whip you. ”

......

Zheng Yong led everyone to hold torches high and surrounded the clearing, illuminating the entire clearing, even the canopy of the trees could be seen very clearly.

"It looks like the monkey isn't hiding on it." Zheng Yuxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"How can this be hidden?" Yang Muyun smiled and stepped on the ground.

"Will there be a mechanism underground?" Zheng Yu's heart moved, and he instructed Zheng Yong and them, "You all lie on the ground and listen, see if there is any movement below?" ”

Before they could finish their sentences, they quickly lay on the ground, their ears on the ground, and listened carefully.

Watching their buttocks pouting one by one, Yang Muyun was a little amused, his eyes turned to the Bodhi tree, and circled around the trunk a few times.

"What do you see?" Zheng Yu didn't look at those subordinates, and came to Yang Muyun's side and asked.

Yang Muyun didn't answer, reached out and touched the trunk, and then bent his finger and knocked on it. With a frown, he smashed his fist at the trunk.

"Click-" The sound startled everyone lying on the ground, and they looked up, only to see Yang Muyun smashing a big hole in the trunk of the tree.

"This trunk is empty!" Zheng Yu said in surprise.

"Tom-tom-" Yang Muyun went down with a few more punches, smashing the hole in the tree a little bigger, and Zheng Yu saw the hole leading to the ground.
