The third day of the New Year's Festival is the day when the people of the capital go out of the city to worship their ancestors, and in the next few days, the city gate will be opened for the people to enter and exit freely, and the seven-day New Year's Festival will be regarded as beginning to reach its peak.

Mixing among the people has always been a method adopted by Xuan Shaoning and others, and it will not be an exception when they go out of the city, which may make them less conspicuous. The people must worship their ancestors according to the custom, and in previous years, there will be a lot of literati and elegant guests who will go to the farther mountains to drink and talk, but it is a pity that many mountains and rivers that once belonged to Daliang are already the territory of the Tang Dynasty, if you dare to trespass without permission, the consequences are that there is no return.

On the way out of the city, Xuan Shaoning heard the people complaining about the war, which disrupted their originally peaceful life. The capital of Daliang has not experienced war since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this time the Tang soldiers came to the city as the most dangerous one in a hundred years, and the people finally began to wake up from the prosperous dream of singing and dancing, but in Xuan Shaoning's view, they were not sober enough.

The fame of Yaojue Temple is definitely not as good as that of Tianfu Temple and Daqinglong Temple, these two temples were built in the capital, pilgrims gathered, incense continued. Yaojue Temple is built on the mountain outside the city, this trip back and forth is not easy, and this year outside the city can not be regarded as safe, so the incense of Yaojue Temple is not as good as before.

Fortunately, the weather is sunny in these days, and the first sunny days after the snow are very suitable for going out for a walk, so there are still some people who choose to go to Yaojue Temple for a walk. The temple built on Mt. Gingetsu is better than Tenfukuji Temple and Daehonryyuji Temple in two ways: it can provide accommodation, and second, it has a unique view of the mountains and rivers.

"I didn't want to go to Yaojue Temple like us, and there are quite a few people?" Duan Lang has always been worried that he will encounter those unknown killers before along the way, and now he is really relieved to see so many people in his company.

Rouge couldn't hold it back, and finally asked, "Brother Xuan, why don't we go back to Mobei but come here?" ”

"Because I received Su Qian's letter."

"Su Qian!" Duan Lang rode a horse to Xuan Shaoning's side, yes, it was a horse, this section of the road from the capital to Yinyue Mountain was not short, ordinary people would choose to ride a horse, of course, the rich family would choose a carriage to go, this is why the average poor people would not choose to go to Yaojue Temple during this New Year's Festival, and the cost of renting a horse is really not low.

"Su Qian and I agreed to go to Yaojue Temple to meet today, but I haven't seen each other for a long time, and this time it's just to catch up with the past."

"I said Shaoning, when did you receive Su Qian's letter, why don't I know? Also, it stands to reason that it is normal for us to have the opportunity to meet our classmates for so many years, but for now, we still put safety first? ”

Xuan Shaoning glanced at Duan Lang, Duan Lang immediately covered his mouth and understood something, he wanted to turn around but was stopped by Xuan Shaoning.

"Before, because there were people watching us all the time, I didn't say it, now I think it's safer, Yaojue Temple has a way to leave the capital, and we will go back to Mobei as soon as we are done." After speaking, Xuan Shaoning nodded towards Xing Gang.

Coming to Yinyue Mountain, Yaojue Temple was already fully prepared to receive pilgrims, and the little novices were busy greeting those big families and wealthy merchants, but they didn't have time to deal with ordinary people like Xuan Shaoning. Xuan Shaoning didn't care, he followed the hints on the letter and walked in the direction of the wing room of Yaojue Temple.

"This benefactor" An old monk who looked like a host took the initiative to come forward to talk, which really surprised several people, and Duan Lang even made sure that no one else behind him dared to salute this old monk.

"Hello Master!"

"The monk is the abbot of Yaojue Temple, please come with me."

After he finished speaking, he motioned for a few people to follow him, and then walked towards the back of the mountain, and said no more along the way. Xuan Shaoning only saw that if he met the little novices on the road, he bowed to this master of innocence one after another, thinking that this identity would not be wrong.

After walking for a while, the noise has gradually left behind, and the original tranquility has returned to Yaojue Temple, Xuan Shaoning thinks that this faint tranquility really belongs to Yaojue Temple, and all the disturbances outside should not disturb this tranquility.

On top of an open platform on the mountainside stood a small pavilion with a simple tea table and a few stone chairs, and a man was already waiting for him. Although Xuan Shaoning and the others had not yet approached the pavilion, the bursts of tea fragrance wafting from the pavilion had already penetrated into their noses.

"Su Gongzi" did not lose the master and saluted Su Qian, which made everyone have to sigh: Could it be that nothing in this world can escape a money word?

Su Qian immediately got up and returned the salute, bowed even lower, and then smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Xuan Shaoning and the others, and said, "Master, why don't you sit down together?" ”

"Today is a big day for Yaojue Temple, and the front yard is already overcrowded, so it's better for the monks to help. If there is no person in the temple to lead the way, ordinary people will not be able to find it, and please rest assured. After Master Wushu said humbly, he slowly left after agreeing with several people.

"Su Qian, how did you meet Gonggong Cui?" As soon as he sat down, Xuan Shaoning got straight to the point.

"Shaoning, how long have we not seen each other, are you so businesslike when you don't greet each other?" Su Qian took a sip of tea soup, looking leisurely and complacent.

"Although I don't know what the two of you are talking about, what I want to say is Su Qian, you are not staying in your Su family's mansion, why did you come to this temple?" Duan Lang was already confused by these two people, one was mysterious and the other was calm, and he didn't know what the hell these two people were doing.

"I've been here more than once in Yaojue Temple, almost every year, otherwise how could this master be so familiar?" Su Qian put down the teacup, put away his smile, and said: "The reason why I came here is because the imperial court listed all the disciples of Qingshan Academy in the list of rebels, and my father was worried about my safety and hoped that I would not affect the family's business, so my father asked me to leave the capital, and I just came back not long ago." ”

"How did you know I was back in the capital?"

"Our Su family can expand its business to the entire territory of Daliang, and it is not very difficult to find the movements of some people."

"What about Grandpa Cui?"

"Gonggong Cui is the personal attendant of the first emperor, and since the new Emperor Liang reigned in the world, this Gonggong Cui has left the palace. It stands to reason that the chamberlains of the previous dynasty were not allowed to leave the palace and could only die in the palace, but this Gonggong Cui had the means to exchange for the opportunity to leave the palace and live in the capital, but he was always under surveillance. ”

"I said that you two come and go, I almost don't understand!" Duan Lang really couldn't bear it anymore, feeling that the two of them were talking, and the rest of the people were just decorations. Rouge leaned closer to Xuan Shaoning, meaning to stay away from Duan Lang, otherwise he would seem to be stupid.

Xuan Shaoning had no choice but to tell everything that happened after he chased the person who was watching, and deliberately emphasized that he met Grandpa Cui. It was this Gonggong Cui who handed over a letter to Xuan Shaoning, and the letter said that Su Qian asked him to meet him in Yaojue Temple.

"I see, Shaoning, you didn't say it earlier! And Su Qian, what kind of medicine are you selling, so you can't make it clear at one time, you have to ask us to come to this place? ”

Duan Lang's reaction was half a beat slow, Rouge had already read the relevant signal from it, and even Xing Gang was already quietly waiting for Xuan Shaoning to speak, they all knew that Su Qian's invitation this time would definitely not be so simple.

"What I'm going to say is the truth about the death of the first emperor." Su Qian started very seriously, this time it was really too shocking, the remaining four people all gasped, such a secret thing Su Qian actually knew the inside story? Xuan Shaoning, as a person who witnessed the assassination of the first emperor, found out the truth is one of his goals.

As Su Qian spoke, the surrounding environment became cold, the original warm sun gradually receded, and the mountain wind began to howl, not only blowing away the snow on the ground, but also blowing the hearts of obedient people.

Regarding the cause of Emperor Liang Heng's death, the secrets involved were at least partially told by Su Qian, but these contents can prove that Fat Kui is innocent, the master is innocent, and Qingshan Academy is also innocent, so Xuan Shaoning is innocent.

Rouge held Xuan Shaoning's hand and said: "No need for anyone's clarification, I have always believed that you are innocent, this kind of thing is not something you can do, and now a piece of your heart disease can be regarded as removed." ”

"Not yet, we know that it is far from enough, these truths must be announced to the world to restore the reputation of Qingshan Academy!"

"Shaoning, these things need to be done slowly, this road is very long and difficult, and you may have to pay the price of your life."

"It's worth the price!" Xuan Shaoning said categorically, "With your help, I am more confident!" ”
