The back mountain is guarded, and there is only one entrance, and if you want to enter, you can only pass through the permission of the monk.

When Su Wuming and Tang Xiong stood at the gate of the back mountain and asked to go in to take a look, the monks who were guarding were very embarrassed, they were just little monks, they knew Su Wuming's identity, they didn't know what to do?

And just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Tang Xiong suddenly shouted angrily, reached out and grabbed a monk, and wanted to throw him out.

Tang Xiong was a little impulsive, after all, this is someone's place, and there is no reason for them to trespass, but Su Wuming did not stop Tang Xiong, for these monks in front of him, it is not necessary to teach a lesson, these monks who say that they treat all beings equally, but they are treated differently because of the amount of incense money, there are really some things to beat.

Seeing that Tang Xiong was about to throw the monk out, he threw it, and the monk would not be able to get out of bed for at least half a month, and at this time, a voice suddenly came: "Amitabha, Master Tang, please show mercy to his subordinates." ”

The person who came was the monk Yin, he folded his hands, although his tone was still calm, but his face had changed slightly, he walked up to the front and back, and asked Su Wuming: "Master Su, what's going on?" ”

Because the monk had the meaning of questioning, this made Su Wuming very unhappy, so Su Wuming shrugged: "The official wanted to go to this back mountain to have a look, but he was unexpectedly stopped by these monks, because of the monk, you said, does the official have the right to go into the back mountain to have a look?" ”

Because the monk was a little embarrassed, but soon, he replied: "This mountain is a place for us monks to rest, it is really inconvenient to enter and exit casually, Su Shi, as an official of the imperial court, should know the crime of trespassing on private houses!" ”

Tang Xiong heard that Brother Su threatened him because of the monk, and he was immediately angry, and threw out the monk who had not been put down just now, and the monk just sighed in pain, Tang Xiong suddenly reached out and grabbed the monk Yin, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was going to beat the monk because he was happy.

The other monks next to him saw that Tang Xiong was going to be unfavorable to their abbot, and immediately swarmed up, Tang Xiong saw this, and was even more angry, so he wanted to fight, but at this time, Su Wuming suddenly stopped Tang Xiong, and then smiled and said to Monk Yin: "So, Monk Yin doesn't want Lord Ben to go in?" ”

The monk folded his hands and said to Amitabha, and although he did not answer, he had already made his position clear.

At this time, Su Wuming smiled lightly, took out the holy decree issued by the emperor from his body, and said: "The emperor ordered me to patrol Jianghuai, and I have the right to send Qin, but now I can't enter your temple?" ”

When Su Wuming took out the holy decree, all the monks were dumbfounded, although they said that they escaped into the empty door and looked at everything in the world lightly, but how many of them could be weak? Especially nowadays, monks and Taoist priests are fighting for territory, and the slightest carelessness may destroy the temple, and sometimes they have to endure it in the face of power.

Because the monk is very embarrassed, if he lets Su Wuming enter, it seems that he still has not reached a certain level, and the equality of all beings is just an empty word, but he does not let Su Wuming enter, it is a challenge to the imperial power, since ancient times, those who challenge the imperial power have not had a good end.

After a long time, Monk Liyin folded his hands, sighed, and then made a gesture of please, but although Su Wuming and Tang Xiong entered, he didn't say anything, because he didn't know what to say.

Tang Xiong snorted coldly, and then followed Su Wuming into the back mountain, the back mountain is very large, to go to the place where these monks live, you must walk a mountain road, the mountain road is not rugged, and there are all kinds of trees planted on the side of the road, at this time, the leaves are withering, and the meaning of autumn is much stronger than before.

The autumn mood on the mountain road is also poetic, and living in such a place makes people feel a lot of envy.

However, Tang Xiong didn't know anything poetic, he followed behind Su Wuming, always on guard against the monks who followed behind, for fear that they would suddenly regret attacking them.

After walking through a mountain road like this, they finally came to the place where the monks lived, the place where they lived was very simple, giving people a deep and secluded feeling, rows of houses side by side, very regular, and behind these houses, there was a deep courtyard, Su Wuming only glanced at it, because the monk hurriedly stepped forward and said: "That is the residence of the poor monks, does Lord Su Shi also want to go in and see?" ”

The corners of Su Wuming's mouth smiled slightly: "Since the monk wants to let the official go in and have a look, then the official will go in and have a look!" ”

Saying that, Su Wuming took Tang Xiong into the courtyard, the courtyard is elegant, there are many flowers and trees in it, and the most attractive at this time is the most appropriate chrysanthemum, the chrysanthemum has not yet opened, only small bones, but it already makes people feel happy.

Of course, Su Wuming didn't come here to admire the chrysanthemums that hadn't bloomed yet, he came to search, but when they looked at all the places in the courtyard, they found nothing, and left the courtyard and looked at the places where the rest of the monks lived, but the result was the same.

Monk Liyin seemed to have noticed something unusual, and asked when Su Wuming searched, "Does Master Su Shi think that we will hide someone here?" ”

Su Wuming raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled slightly: "Do you have anyone hiding here?" ”

Because the monk's expression changed slightly, he replied again and again: "Amitabha, we usually don't let outsiders enter here, what kind of people can be hidden, not to mention that Master Su Shi has also seen them one by one, have you ever seen anyone?" ”

This is because the monk's words are not false at all, Su Wuming did look at every room, and indeed did not find any suspicious signs.

"Because the monk misunderstood, the official is just very curious about the life of your monks, so I came here to take a look, and now I see that you are all able to practice hard and thrift, which makes the official very impressed!" Su Wuming said, made a gesture of please, after the monk saw that gesture, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he made a gesture of please, and then followed Su Wuming and the others to leave the back mountain.

Out of the back mountain, the front yard of Baiyin Temple is not lively, but this excitement is mixed with Sanskrit sound, which makes people very uncomfortable.

After Tang Xiong and Su Wuming returned to the room, Tang Xiong was a little angry and said, "Brother Su, we searched the backyard, but we didn't find anything, what should we do?" ”

Su Wuming smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Tang, if Qi Fang is really hidden, it depends on the two of us, how to find it." ”

"Since the search can't be found, why does Brother Su still want to go to the back mountain, isn't it a surprise for you to do this?"

"But if it doesn't, how can the snake act?"

Tang Xiong touched his head and thought about it, and after he figured it out, he was suddenly overjoyed and said, "Brother Su is trying to force these monks to take action?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "That's right, we are making such a fuss today, because the monks will definitely be frightened, and for safety, they will definitely find a way to transfer Qi Fang to the position, as long as they act, Song Jingtian, who is guarding outside at that time, will definitely be able to capture him." ”

Tang Xiong admired Su Wuming's method very much, so he asked him what he wanted him to do, Su Wuming smiled lightly, and said that he just had to wander around, eat and sleep!

The sky is getting dark, some pilgrims left, some pilgrims stayed, the bell gradually fell silent, the whole Baiyin Temple also fell silent, the moon is full tonight, the moonlight is clear, the moonlight shines on the quaint Baiyin Temple, as if an old monk settled.

Su Wuming lay on the bed and fell asleep, although he was very concerned about the affairs of the temple, but he was a human being, and he couldn't resist the sleepiness if he was a human being.

The night is getting deeper, the moon is in the middle of the sky, the whole Baiyin Temple is silent and can only hear the sound of autumn insects, and at this time, the temple suddenly squeaked out of nowhere, after the squeak, a person flashed out of the door, he glanced around, and beckoned to the house, he just beckoned, and six people appeared in the house, but these six people are not the same, three of them are bareheaded, thinking that they are monks here, and the other three people, two women and one man, are bound and gagged, they want to escape, can only be at the mercy of people.

The person who came out first seemed to be in a hurry, and cursed: "What are you grinding, hurry up and bring these three people to the carriage, it's not good to be discovered!" ”

When the three monks heard this, they nodded again and again, and then pushed the three people into the carriage, and when they got into the carriage, several people immediately drove the carriage to the outside of Baiyin Temple.

It was not very dark outside the Baiyin Temple, under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees on the side of the road were swaying, but when the carriage was rushing forward, more than a dozen people suddenly poured out of the darkness, and the people in the carriage saw this, and they knew that it was not good, but they did not dare to stop, and wanted to rush out in the carriage.

But when they wanted to rush out, one of the people in the crowd flew over the carriage, and before the monks in the carriage could react, they were kicked over, and after the monks fell off the carriage, the man pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped, and the rest of the others had rushed to arrest the monks.

The person in the carriage was Song Jingtian, he lifted the curtain, and saw two women and a man tied up in the car, and these three people were all frightened, he immediately understood, and after untying them, he hurriedly said: "I am the catcher of Hangzhou City, this is Qi Fang girl?" ”

The woman nodded again and again: "The little woman is Qi Fang, thank you for saving your life!" ”

"Girl, don't thank you, these things are what we should do, it's just ...... It's just that there are many things we don't understand yet, I'm afraid we have to ask Miss Qi Fang! ”

Qi Fang nodded: "Just ask if there is anything to catch the head, but if it is late today, can you ask the head catcher to send us home first, the little woman was kidnapped by thieves, and my father must be very worried." ”

Song Jingtian's face was embarrassed, and after a long time, he said: "It's not a secret, a few days after Miss Qi Fang's disappearance, Ling Zun was murdered, so ......" Before Song finished his words today, Qi Fang suddenly screamed in grief, and then passed out.
