Chapter 120: Qixia Mountain Temple
After only riding the horse for a while, the two dismounted and walked, and walked straight to the temple, only to find that there were also many spies who turned into monks, merchants and ordinary people in front of the mountain road, presumably sent by Liu Yu to supervise, and it was no wonder that he dared to move Concubine Rong to this prosperous mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This hasn't entered the mountain gate yet, it's so difficult, I don't know, how tightly guarded Concubine Rong's residence should be? Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia walked into the gate of Qixia Temple, and walked a little longer before they walked to the temple.
There are people who come to worship Buddha and worship God all around, Chu Shenxia only knows that Concubine Rong is in Qixia Mountain, but he doesn't know where she is in the mountain, but he can't go from temple to temple.
Sweeping around, I saw two monks looking bored, leaning against the wall and talking to each other, as if complaining about something, Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan exchanged glances, and slowly moved there.
"It's been the first few months, Lao Tzu has been in front of the Buddha, eating fasting and chanting Buddha every day, and I haven't smelled the meat once."
"We still have to open our eyes every day, Lao Tzu's eyes are sour, I really don't understand the eldest son, if you want us to be monks, isn't this overkill?"
"Don't say it, the more you talk about it, the more upset I become, I don't know how long I'm going to stay, let's see."
The two walked out as they spoke, Liu Yan didn't know what the two of them were going to see, so they followed, and the two of them were at the gate of the temple, looking around from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone.
Sure enough, not long after, a man carrying a food box walked here, saw the two monks, hurriedly smiled and quickened his pace, while opening the food box slightly, while saying happily: "Today's winter solstice, the eldest prince specially ordered someone to make a lot of delicacies, to reward the brothers on the mountain, knowing that the two of you haven't eaten meat for a long time, look, this is what I specially left for you." ”
The two monks, seeing the food box's eyes lit up, smiled almost from ear to ear, said a few polite words, and hurriedly took the food box from his hand. Walked into the forest on the side.
The man with the food box turned around and left, Liu Yan guessed that the place where he came must be the place where Concubine Rong lived, and he was about to pull his legs to follow, but his shoulder was heavily slammed.
Liu Yan conditioned reflex. The hand was only halfway raised, and it was firmly held down by the person behind him, and then he heard the person behind him whisper in his ear: "You are being targeted." ”
Seeing that it was Chu Shenxia's voice, Liu Yan relaxed and whispered, "Look at the man in the blue robe." If we follow him, we will definitely find Concubine Rong. ”
Chu Shenxia saw that the woman disguised as a Buddha worshipper suddenly walked towards him and Liu Yan, her steps were light and steady, and she knew at a glance that this person's martial arts were by no means shallow.
"Young master, although the master said that this is a sign, and the young master will not have children in recent years, but the young master doesn't need to be so sad, the young master is still young."
Liu Yan suddenly heard Chu Shenxia say such a sentence loudly, and his spine couldn't help twitching. With a slight dip in his eyes, he also saw the strange woman, and pretended to be angry and said, "What kind of broken temple, it doesn't work at all, don't come in the future." ”
After speaking, he threw up his sleeves and ran out of the mountain gate, Chu Shenxia hurriedly followed, and the two walked in the southwest direction for a while, Chu Shenxia realized that the woman was still following behind, and persuaded softly: "Your Highness." Someone is following us, and we can't go any further at this time. ”
"No, we're all here today, if we lose that man. It will be even more difficult to find Concubine Rong next time. Liu Yan stepped up as he spoke.
Chu Shenxia's face was embarrassed, and when he saw Liu Yan stepping up, not only did he not follow, but suddenly stopped in place, and his eyes rolled and he saw that a corner of the woman's clothes was exposed behind the tree.
Liu Yan followed the man intently, not noticing for a moment that Chu Shenxia was no longer by his side. It wasn't until Chu Shenxia couldn't see Liu Yan's figure that he walked back with confidence.
The woman wondered in her heart, these two people, one walked into the mountain without a figure, and the other was walking out of the mountain, thinking that it would be better to grasp the one in front of her, so that she could ask about his origin and the whereabouts of the other person.
A soft sword "banged" towards him, Chu Shenxia was on guard in his heart, so he easily avoided it, and the stone in his hand bounced out quickly, the woman did not guard against Chu Shenxia's move, and her face was scratched by the stone.
Chu Shenxia shouted guilt in his heart and ruined a girl's appearance, but the stones in his hand kept bouncing towards her, and the woman's face was injured, so she was naturally worried about the stones that followed, so she hurriedly waved her sword to block it.
Chu Shenxia took the opportunity to step forward, met her with a heavy palm, and quickly tied her up in the forest, and then rushed in the direction where Liu Yan disappeared.
Once the accomplices in those temples found out that the woman was missing, they would definitely come to look for her, and according to Liu Yu's character, as long as there was an abnormality anywhere, he would come in person.
He would never let go of any suspicious person on this mountain, and it was his consistent style to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let go of one.
Until the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, Chu Shenxia did not look for Liu Yan, so he had to go up along the grottoes, most of the grottoes sat a Buddha statue, the road next to the grottoes was not big, and only two people were allowed to pass at the same time.
Hearing the voice coming from the front, Chu Shenxia hurriedly went into a grotto, hid behind the Buddha statue, and listened to the persuasion of the people outside: "Madam, our Buddha worship is almost over, it's time to go back to the Taoist temple, otherwise the eldest prince should be in a hurry and come out to find it." ”
"Rou'er, come, let's worship these Buddha statues again, and pray for the Southern Song Dynasty to be healthy for a lifetime."
"Madame......"
Seeing them slowly moving towards this side, Chu Shenxia was a little nervous, and his steps moved lightly, for fear of being discovered, but he didn't think that Na Rou'er was also a good hand, and his ears were very sharp, and he said vigilantly: "Madam, I see that this grotto has been around for a long time, and it is a little unsafe, so let's go elsewhere." ”
"Okay."
Seeing them walk away, Chu Shenxia turned slightly sideways to look, and what was jaw-dropping was that Liu Yan actually descended from the sky, stood firmly in front of him, and said to himself with a smile: "Shen Xia, you are finally here." ”
Chu Shenxia walked out of the grotto, looked up, there was a very narrow grotto, the small one could not be commensurate with the grotto, maybe it should be called a gap.
Before Chu Shenxia could speak, Liu Yan had already pulled him over and hid behind the stone statue again, when a rush of footsteps suddenly came, and there was no need to think about it, it must be Fang Cai's escort who went and returned.
Sure enough, the two guards said, "Miss Rou'er wants us to take a good look at this grotto, but in my opinion, we don't feel anything wrong all the way down." ”
"It's not that you don't know that Miss Rou'er is so careful, I don't know how many times I have to toss us every day, don't say it, let's find it quickly, her sometimes multi-mindedness can really find out the problem, if there is any difference at that time, can the eldest prince let us go?"
"Yes, yes, then I'll go to the front and look for it, you can look for it here."
As soon as the words fell, a guard suddenly jumped into the grotto, coincidentally, it was the grotto where Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan were hiding, the grotto was dimly lit, and he couldn't see anything clearly, the guards only had time to see two pairs of eyes, shining slightly behind the dim Buddha statue, and his heart was horrified, and before he could react, he was stunned by Liu Yan's palm.
Chu Shenxia hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the guard, so as not to make a sound when he fell, but he still neglected his sword, and with a "bang", it fell heavily to the ground.
"What's wrong?" The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly reached the front of the grotto, and Chu Shenxia watched his figure dangling in front of the Buddha statue, but he refused to come in.
Moved the person in his hand out of the Buddha statue a little, revealing one leg and half of his body, as if he was looking for something with his head down, Chu Shenxia learned his voice and said, "Come and see." ”
The people outside the grotto were really hit, and while asking "what is it", they poked their heads and squeezed inside, and just half of their bodies came in, they were knocked out by Liu Yan from a palm.
Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan took off their clothes, put them on themselves, and tied them to the ground strongly, then clapped their hands and walked away.
After finding Concubine Rong's party, she followed from a distance, and did not dare to step forward too much, so as not to be recognized. walked all the way, until he walked in front of the Yuntian Taoist Temple, and after seeing Concubine Rong enter, he swaggered towards the Taoist Temple.
There are two rows of guards guarding the entrance of the Taoist temple, and the situation is so big that Chu Shenxia guessed that Liu Yu was also in this Taoist temple. At first, Liu Yan was very worried, because he and Chu Shenxia were human faces, and they would be stopped and questioned by the guards.
Perhaps, as Chu Shenxia thought, these guards were Liu Yu's bodyguards, and they were not familiar with the guards in the Taoist temple, so they did not embarrass them.
The two of them easily entered the Taoist temple, and just as they didn't know the way, they bumped into a guard head-on, who looked at the two of them strangely and asked, "Are you two here with the eldest prince?" How did you get in? Is there anything I helped with? ”
"The eldest prince instructed us to patrol well, strengthen management, and see where more manpower is needed." Chu Shenxia nodded slightly.
The guard also nodded and asked, "The two brothers don't seem to know much about Taoism, so why don't you let me lead the way." ”
"Then you'll have to work for you."
Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia followed behind him, listening to him introduce the branches in the Taoist temple one by one, and because of him, the guards of the entire branch were not suspicious.
After turning around for a long time, he finally transferred to the branch where Concubine Rong was, he changed his tone and said softly: "This is the residence of the lady, and we have sent people to guard the four sides of the branch, and we also ask the two of you to tell the eldest prince to reassure him." ”
Chu Shenxia pointed to the eaves and asked, "Is there anyone guarding there?" ”
The guard's face turned pale, and he said embarrassedly: "How can there be someone guarding there?" Who will go to the eaves, there is a person standing on the eaves, and the bottom is clearly visible. ”
"Not necessarily, who will hold their heads up? If there was a man standing on the eaves above his head, how could he possibly find out? Chu Shenxia swept his eyes around, and finally landed in the courtyard, and muttered, "How is the defense in the courtyard?" ”
The guard said helplessly: "Madame, she doesn't like to see so many people, so many times everyone hides in the dark to protect Madame, where do you dare to appear in front of her?" ”
"So you mean, there's not even a single guard in the yard?!" Chu Shenxia pretended to be surprised, and then said in a deep voice, "No, I have to go in and have a look to see if there is anything missing." ”
