Chapter 19: The Cliff Seeks Evidence
Mu Qing looked at the wall, and after a period of dizziness, he took a few steps back, staggered, and almost fainted.
At this time, a person behind him reached out in time to protect him, and blamed: "You are stupid! Knowing that I am afraid of heights, it is not wise to go to the edge of this cliff. ”
It turned out that Mu Qing had a fear of heights since he was a child, and when everyone talked about Jiulong Mountain before, he wanted to talk and stopped, he didn't want to go up the mountain, but as soon as he gritted his teeth, he still followed everyone up the mountain.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan followed him closely along the way, intentionally or unintentionally, to protect him. And, as long as you don't look back, you'll be fine.
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he glanced at the vines on the edge of the cliff, nodded and continued: "I understand what you mean, you stand back, I'll go and take a look." ”
The two of them have been together for a long time, and they are both smart and abnormal people, and they can understand each other's thoughts with a casual look or action.
As soon as Mu Qing looked at the vines on the cliff, he forgot about his fear of heights for a while, and the latter immediately understood that he must have made an important discovery, and immediately went to the edge of the cliff to take a closer look.
After pulling the vines on the edge of the cliff hard, I only felt that it was extremely strong, and I couldn't pull it at all. Moreover, he found that there were several thicker vines with smooth surfaces and scattered leaves, as if they were often climbed and rubbed.
"I'll go down and see." Grabbing the vines in his hand, Xiao Yan turned back to Mu Qingdao.
"Be careful." The latter whispered.
"Don't worry, the old man said that I was the Monkey King, have you forgotten?" After speaking, he deftly grabbed the climbing vines, and slowly slid down the cliff along the cliff.
Mu Qing shook his head and retreated to the back of the house where he couldn't see under the cliff. But his eyes were still nervously staring at Xiao Yan's position.
Wait quietly......
With a "bang", a big burden was suddenly thrown up from under the cliff, making a loud noise.
"Bang", and with another sound, another seemingly heavy little burden was thrown up.
It turned out that Xiao Yan followed the vines cautiously and slowly climbed down the cliff, and when he went straight down to a position two feet deep, he finally found something.
Brushing aside the dense vine branches and leaves, I looked carefully, only to find that after those vine branches and leaves were hidden, there was actually a small hole, and there were two burdens in the hole, one large and one small.
Good guy, he was so thoughtful, he actually hid something suspicious on the cliff, but fortunately, Mu Qing was careful and found the suspicious place of the cliff, and he made this discovery.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan carefully checked the neighborhood again to see if there was a cave that could be Tibetan.
It's a pity that nothing was found!
He didn't give up, and took a closer look at the structure of the cliff, there were many large rocks, and the remaining soil was very hard, thinking that it was difficult to dig a larger cave out of the cliff.
The cave where the package is hidden is very shallow, just enough to put the package aside, and it seems that the little Taoist priest has carved it out with great difficulty.
So, if you want to dig another cave in the wall that can hide people, it is almost impossible.
Unless, the cave is a natural formation, and that's a different story.
Therefore, Xiao Yan still carefully checked the surroundings, and then searched down to a depth of two zhang, but still found nothing, and saw that the sky was gradually darkening, so he slowly returned the same way, and before he reached the top of the cliff, he threw the two burdens on it first.
After these two "bangs", Xiang Xuemei in front of the house was also brought over.
Xiang Xuemei, who came to hear the sound, looked at the two burdens on the ground, and then looked at Mu Qing, who was a little pale, startled, and quickly rushed to the edge of the cliff.
"Danger, come back!"
Mu Qing saw her go straight to the edge of the cliff, afraid that if she didn't pay attention, she would fall into the abyss, ignoring fear, took a few steps forward, grabbed her arm, and dragged her back.
After standing still, Mu Qing's face became even paler, his heart was beating, but he had to impose a cover-up, and his expression was a little painful for a while.
"Are you afraid of heights? Go and sit in the front, it might be better! The empathetic Xiang Xuemei noticed Mu Qing's weirdness, and stretched out her hand with concern to help him.
"It's okay, I'm waiting for Xiao Yan, waiting for him to come up." After stabilizing his mind, Mu Qing said in a low voice.
Xiang Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll go see him!" As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered Mu Qing's reaction just now, and added intimately: "If I don't go down, just take a look on the edge of the cliff." ”
Seeing that Mu Qing nodded slightly, she slowly walked towards the edge of the cliff.
As soon as he approached, he saw the vines on the edge of the cliff swaying, Xiao Yan stretched out half his head, and looked at Xiang Xuemei with a smile.
"Wow, are you welcoming me back? Don't worry, I won't come back empty-handed, and I brought a big gift to the two of you? Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to climb up, but he pulled the vines, his body was still swaying slightly, and he said with a smile.
"You! Hanging on the cliff, with the abyss behind you, and the heart to laugh, come up! Xiang Xuemei said in disgust, and immediately stretched out her right hand to pull Xiao Yan up.
The latter hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed Xiang Xuemei's hand and climbed up easily and agilely.
After seeing Xiao Yan come up safely, Mu Qing's face was a little better, and Xiao Yan immediately picked up the burden on the ground, and said loudly: "Let's go, go and sit in front, and then take a good look, this little Taoist priest of Qing cultivation has hidden some treasure bumps in the top secret cave at the cliff." ”
The reason why Xiao Yan said that he wanted to sit before watching was because he saw that Mu Qing's face was wrong, and he wanted to sit down, so that he could relax and rest.
As he spoke, he quickly picked up the package on the ground and took the lead and walked to the front yard.
Xiang Xuemei naturally understood what he meant, and silently followed the two of them to the stump in the front yard and sat down.
Xiao Yan couldn't wait to open the big baggage, and sure enough, there was nothing unexpected to them, and what was in the baggage was all various types of women's dresses.
There are the precious silk worn by the young lady, the elegant silk used by the small jasper, the cotton clothes of the village girl, the coarse cloth of the woman, and the ...... of the old lady
In short, all women's dresses are almost everything, and they are dazzling.
Although, this discovery was expected by the trio; However, such a complete and complete equipment still surprised the three of them.
Xiao Yan then opened the second small baggage: what was placed inside were some precious and exquisite jewelry, looking at the workmanship, the style showed the gorgeous and luxurious quality, and at a glance it was the object of the noble family of the high door.
Mu Qing's eyes fell on a crystal clear white hosta, picked it up casually, looked at it carefully, and put it back silently.
After inspecting the two packages, none of the three knew what to say because it was too shocking.
A little Taoist priest of a Taoist temple, but he tried his best to hide so many women's dresses, what kind of shocking secrets are hidden behind it?
The three of them couldn't figure it out, they were too shocked and inexplicable, so they fell into silence for a while, each with their own thoughts.
Xiao Yan: Hiding so many women's clothes and accessories can only show that he often dresses up as various women and goes out on various occasions. But why did he pretend to be a woman, and for what purpose?
Could it be...... Xiao Yan suddenly remembered what happened to Miss Yun, and thought of the situation just now when Mu Qing picked up one of the hairpins and looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but be shocked and inexplicable, his hair stood on end, and he raised his eyes to look at Mu Qing.
And what about Mu Qing? Looking left and right, I feel that the white hosta is very familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still don't know the point.
Therefore, when Xiao Yan raised his head, the latter was also looking at him, his eyes were deep, his face was heavy, and the two looked at each other in shock.
The two of them guessed the same thing in their hearts, unbelievable, too bizarre, and too unbelievable!
They speculated that there was very likely some connection between the person who harmed Miss Yun and the little Taoist priest who kidnapped Huaiyu and Lin Zishu.
If so, then the goal of what he did to Miss Yun is still clear; But what is the purpose of kidnapping the latter two, or men?
The two of them looked at each other and thought silently, hoping that Ishikawa and Huaijue could catch up with that person.
At this time, Xiang Xuemei spoke first, breaking the current terrible silence, and scolded fiercely: "What is this dead pervert doing with stealing so many women's clothes and accessories?" Most importantly, what happened to Brother Qin? I wonder if he's safe now? What a hurry! ”
"Also, these two packages, you found them in a cave in the cliff face, right? Are there any other caves there? ”
She asked Xiao Yan like this, and the implication was that it was possible for Qin Huaiyu to be hidden in a cave on the cliff.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly: "I have carefully checked it, on the cliff, it is smooth and hard, and there are no other caves, especially, caves that can hide people." ”
After speaking, he couldn't bear to be disappointed by Xiang Xuemei, so he continued: "Don't worry, our old nest has been found, and I believe that he and the missing Brother Qin will be found soon." ”
Mu Qing was also looking at Xiang Xuemei, knowing that she was anxious and worried about Qin Huaiyu, so she was silent for a while and said, "Let's go down and ask the Taoist first, he should always know the name and origin of his apprentice." ”
"Yes, go now." Xiao Yan followed Mu Qing, picked up the two burdens, and took the lead and walked out.
When the three of them went down to the gate of Sanqingguan again, it was dark.
Ye Dong saw the three of them coming down, stepped forward, and whispered to Mu Qing: "Master, that old way has always been inside, and there is nothing unusual. ”
Mu Qing nodded.
In fact, when Xiao Yan asked the little Taoist priest if he had hearing impairment before, the old Taoist vigorously denied it and told him the truth, which is enough to show that the old Taoist priest and the little Taoist priest are not all the way.
But for the sake of prudence, he still sent Ye Dong to keep an eye on him, and he was normal, which was also expected by Mu Qing.
Lao Dao saw that the three of them were going and returning, so he was silent and invited the three of them to the side hall.
After sitting down, Xiao Yan didn't want to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point and said: "Dao Chief, we suspect that your apprentice is a suspect in several suspicious cases, please tell us everything about him and everything you know." ”
In fact, just now, Mu Qing and his party were in a hurry, and they only came up the mountain at dusk, and the Taoist chief was also puzzled.
Seeing that they kept asking about the apprentice and had to go to the top of the mountain to check, they had already vaguely guessed that something might have happened to the apprentice.
Therefore, he took the lamp in his hands early and waited quietly in the temple.
