When he arrived at the room without lights, Yi Xingchen pushed a few doors, all of them were locked, walked to the middle position, and was about to push the door, when suddenly, he heard a noisy sound and hurried footsteps from outside the courtyard, and saw the light of the lantern torch, and the Taoist priests came out of the house to check. Yi Xingchen saw that his traces were about to be exposed, and in a hurry, he stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door in the middle opened in response.

He quickly dodged and hid inside. Glancing at the light outside, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is not the residence of the Taoist priest, but it should be the scripture hall or council hall where the scriptures are recited, there are two rows of futons on both sides, and there is a soft collapse in the middle of the position. Yi Xingchen hid behind the door and looked out through the crack in the door, hoping that those people were not coming this way, and after they walked away, he would go to find the bed again. However, he heard footsteps that happened to be coming in his direction, and the light on the window was getting brighter and brighter, and the voice of the voice was getting clearer, and then he saw several people coming towards him with lanterns.

In a hurry, let him be a bed. Yi Xingchen didn't have time to think about it, he rushed to the couch with an arrow step and got into the couch with one head.

As soon as I got inside, the door creaked open, and many people walked in. The light in the room suddenly lit up, and Yi Xingchen hurriedly shrank inside, but in fact, the light couldn't shine below. The couch was low, and he lay down on it, and all he could see was the feet of the people outside, and the futon on the ground.

Judging from the number of feet, the seven or eight people who entered the room were wearing Taoist cloud boots, and one of them had a pair of boots worn by big feet that were different, and they were actually military boots worn by military officers in the Ming Dynasty.

Yi Xingchen inherited the memory of his apprentice and was very clear about ancient costumes. He knew that the army wore special military boots, which were different and instantly recognizable.

In the middle of the night, what did the army generals do in the Taoist temple?

Yi Xingchen immediately thought of a person, that is, the person who was behind him after Peng Qingchen, the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, asked him to tell the hexagram and find him, Peng Qingchen said that it was an experience of the Wei Commander and Envoy, surnamed Wu. And the hexagram shows that this Wu experience will appear in the temple here, meet with some people, and discuss shady matters.

Could it be that the person wearing military boots I see now is the Wu experience that I calculated by myself?

At this time, he saw a pair of Taoist cloud boots walk up to the soft collapse where he was hiding and sit down. The others sat cross-legged on the futon, with the one in the military boots sitting first on one side. Yi Xingchen could see their legs sitting on the futon from under the bed, but he couldn't see his face, so he could rest assured, he couldn't see them, and they must not be able to see themselves under the bed, so he would be safe.

At this time, the Taoist who was sitting on the soft collapse said in an old voice: "Lord Wu Xiang, you tell the brothers about the situation last night, let's think about it together, where is Hall Master Li?" There is no worry about life. ”

A loud voice came, and it was determined from the direction that it was the man in military boots: "Last night, I received a report from our sect brother that the man in black who we had been waiting for in the trap these days had really entered the Causeway Lane mansion, but he seemed to know that we had a mechanism inside, avoided the mechanism, copied from behind, and came up to kill our two brothers with the best martial arts." And the brothers lured him into the house and tried to get him into the trap, but he was not fooled, but set the house on fire. As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly led the team to the mansion, and when I arrived outside the mansion, there was no shouting of killing inside, and the whole mansion was already in flames. I ordered the house to be surrounded by layers, but not to break in, for I was afraid that the brothers inside would fight with the members of our army and cause accidental injury. ”

Hearing this, Yi Xingchen realized that it turned out that the officials and soldiers suddenly came last night, not because they thought the robbers had come in, but because this Wu Shi, who was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, received a report from the sect sent by the mansion, and led the army to help, protect the White Lotus Sect disciples, and round up Mei Lengxiang. No wonder the officers and troops arrived soon and moved so quickly.

I also heard Wu Shi continue: "After I led my troops to surround the entire mansion, I took a few brothers to check on the situation. It was found that the brothers inside had been killed, and more than a dozen corpses were scattered all over the place. All the houses of the house were set on fire. Hall Master Li told me that they were probably the thief who was looking for our White Lotus Sect's bad luck. After the last time he suffered a big loss, he knew that his friend had betrayed him, and he would definitely come to his friend's house in Causeway Lane to seek revenge on him. So the mechanism has been laid down a long time ago. Hall Master Li is personally in charge of this layout, and he must catch this thief. Unexpectedly, he saw through the mechanism, and instead of being fooled, he killed almost all of our brothers who participated in the war. The whereabouts of Hall Master Li are also unknown. ”

At this time, another middle-aged man's voice came, saying: "The Heaven and Earth Net Array personally arranged by Hall Master Li, no matter how high the martial arts are, people will definitely die if they enter, how can such a strict trap be seen through by this thief?" It's incredible. ”

Another Taoist priest said: "Yes, we have suffered heavy casualties in this battle, this thief is really hateful, but I don't know why he repeatedly attacked my White Lotus Sect?" ”

The old man on the soft couch said: "This thief's martial arts are extremely high, and none of the top brothers in our hall can compete with him. Moreover, he seems to have targeted not only our cousin, but also several other neighboring cousins, who had also been attacked by this thief and injured dozens of brothers. This man must be found and eradicated as soon as possible, or our cousins will be slaughtered by him. ”

The officer in military boots sighed and said, "Yes, as soon as I got the news, I immediately led the army to surround the mansion with the purpose of catching this guy, but I led people to search the entire mansion and did not find this thief, which is a pity." ”

The old man on the soft couch said in a low voice, "Let's not talk about him first, the top priority is to find Hall Master Li first and tell me about the situation you are looking for." ”

The officer said: "After I led my brother into the mansion, I did not find the thief, so I began to count the casualties of my cousin's brothers, and none of the dozen brothers survived, and all of them died by the thief's sword." However, no hall master was found among them. Therefore, I concluded that the master of the hall was probably taken captive by thieves. I have sent my brothers in the army to look around for news, but as of now, there is no news from Hall Master Li. ”

A Taoist priest said, "What did this thief do when he kidnapped Hall Master Li?" He wouldn't be trying to ask us about the White Lotus Sect before he robbed and killed us, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, several other people whispered, all of them felt that this was the most likely, presumably this person wanted to take out more news of the White Lotus Sect from Hall Master Li's mouth, so he was kidnapped. Therefore, they suggested to the old man on the soft couch that he immediately change the seat of the hall, and at the same time let the brothers in the sect change their residence to avoid falling into the hands of thieves.

Next, they began to discuss how to change the hall entrance, how to find the hall master, whether to report the matter to the helmsman, and if they couldn't find the hall master, whether to ask the helmsman to appoint an acting hall master first, etc., and so on.

Yi Xingchen was very anxious when he hid under the soft collapse, why did these people talk so badly and discuss one thing for so long.

It was late at night, and just as they were about to end their discussion, suddenly, the old man on the couch screamed, and he fell forward from the soft couch and fell to the ground. Yi Xingchen glanced at it from under the bed, and saw that it was a white-bearded old man, the Dao crown on his head had fallen away, his hair was scattered, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the stars on his beard were full of blood, and he was staring at the top in horror.

At the same time, Yi Xingchen felt that someone had fallen on the soft couch above his head, standing on the couch, presumably this person suddenly attacked and seriously injured the white-bearded old man.

Yi Xingchen smelled a faint fragrance between his nose, not the fragrance of any rouge gouache, but the smell of plum in the cold winter of the moon. The smell is so light that others can't smell it at all, and only he can faintly feel it.

And this fragrance made him see a face as white as Rui Xue in front of him, the skin was like condensed fat, the facial features carved from ice were very exquisite, and the figure was slender and slender, really slim.

Thinking of this pretty figure, Yi Xingchen's heart couldn't help but boil, and he was so surprised that he almost screamed, could it be her?

At this moment, Yi Xingchen saw several people sitting on the futon stand up in panic, and the officer immediately pulled out a long sword from his waist and fought fiercely with the person on the soft couch.
