In the early morning of the next day, Hu Xiaotian woke up early in the morning, first checked the situation in the Rift Cloud Valley, and was sure that the bodies of Qi Danai and the two black-clothed assassins had been washed away by the river.

When he returned to the cave where Chu Fufeng offered the Immortal Buddha, he found that the Buddha statue had been beaten into powder by the unenlightened, and if the old emperor knew about it, this matter would be enough to make him lose his head.

Hu Xiaotian cleaned the cave and prepared to move an immortal Buddha statue from the cave next door, anyway, the old emperor would not come in person, so he would pass the test first.

When cleaning the ruins of the pile of Buddha statues, he swept out a gear-like thing, the size of a copper coin, which was quite heavy in his hand, and when he looked closely, the gear on the edge was very weird, although Hu Xiaotian didn't know what this thing was, he could also deduce that this thing was very important, he had carefully inspected this cave before, and did not find such a thing, it should be unenlightened to slap the Buddha statue in the face, and it was only revealed, since Chu Fufeng hid this gear in the stomach of the immortal Buddha statue back then, the gear must be extremely precious.

Hu Xiaotian carefully put away the gears, cleaned up the cave, and then selected a Buddha statue with a similar appearance from other caves and carried it back.

By the time Hu Xiaotian finished this qiē, it was already noon that the two monks who delivered the meal did not come, this time it was the master of the prison who came in person, and Tongjing saw that there was only one left of the two, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and said in surprise: "What about your companion?" ”

Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "It's hard to say, he can't stand the hardships here, so he takes advantage of my sleep." Ran away alone. ”

Tongjing sniffed, Hu Xiaotian was worried that he would smell blood, and his heart couldn't help pounding, but fortunately Tongjing didn't smell blood, and said in a low voice: "How can the poor monk smell the smell of meat and burnt." ”

Hu Xiaotian smiled secretly in his heart, it was not grilled fish if it was so complicated. He clasped his hands together and said: "It is all because of this incident, last night he forked a fish from the small river and came up, and scraped the scales on the shore, I saw that he actually killed in the Buddha Gate, so he said two more words to him, he was angry for a while but quarreled with me, I thought that the matter would be over, but I didn't expect him to leave in the middle of the night." ”

Tongjing will be suspicious, but Hu Xiaotian's remarks can withstand scrutiny. He said in a low voice: "Lord Hu Shi comes with me, the seven-day period has expired." ”

Hu Xiaotian returned to the Wuguan Hall of the West Courtyard with Tongjing, during the days when he was away, the guards were at ease, and when they heard that Hu Xiaotian was back, they all secretly shouted that it was not good, this guy worshiped the Buddha in the Rift Cloud Valley for seven days, which was equivalent to being locked up for seven days. Now I am afraid that I will sprinkle all the sulking on them, and some of them will suffer in the future.

saw that only Hu Xiaotian came back alone. They were all surprised.

Hu Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense with these guys, took a cold shower, changed into clean clothes, and went straight to Fuxian Courtyard to report to the emperor. After experiencing last night's events, Hu Xiaotian could almost conclude that the old emperor of Fuxian Academy was not his real body nine times out of ten. The so-called coming to Tianlong Temple to spend the soul of Princess Anping is simply a bureau arranged by Hong Beimo, who wants to take the opportunity to kill himself and make himself unable to leave Tianlong Temple. It seems that the old emperor has just been restored, and the open and secret struggle for power has begun. The little princess is young after all. The result of the sharp edge is that it has caused Hong Beimo's premature vigilance, judging from his current situation, Hong Beimo has begun to cut off Qiqi's right-hand man. This guy had a wishful thinking, saying that he wanted to go to Chu Fufeng's Immortal Buddha for him to chant incense for seven days, and he was simply looking for an opportunity to kill himself. As for Qi Danei being just an unlucky ghost, he didn't expect to kill him when he pulled him to Rift Cloud Valley, and Qi Danei's current fate is also his own fault.

When he came to Fuxian Academy, it was still Yin Zheng who greeted him and said in a low voice: "The emperor is chanting inside, big brother, please wait a moment." ”

Hu Xiaotian nodded, so he stood outside, this time the old emperor didn't know if he was deliberately making things difficult for him, and waited for an hour before he was introduced into the room.

The old emperor sat on the futon, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand, looked at Hu Xiaotian who walked in from outside the door, and said coldly: "Where is Qi Da Nei?" ”

Hu Xiaotian secretly thought in his heart, you only sent two killers to harm me last night, and today you asked knowingly, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Qi Danei fled because he couldn't stand the hardship." ”

Long Xuanen glared at Hu Xiaotian angrily: "Do you think you can perfunctory me like those monks?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty said this, Qi Danei and I served the name of Your Majesty in front of the Immortal Buddha in the Rift Cloud Valley, offered incense for seven days, recited Buddhist scriptures for seven days, I dare not say how much credit I have made, but I have worked hard for seven days, and I am worthy of His Majesty's trust, but something happened last night......"

Hu Xiaotian deliberately paused when he said this.

Long Xuanen said: "What's the matter?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "The minister doesn't dare to say it. ”

"Tell the truth, as long as you tell the truth, I will forgive you without sin."

"Thank you!" Hu Xiaotian took a step forward, he recognized in his heart that Long Xuanen in front of him was a fake of Hong Beimo, and he couldn't go up and beat him with his old fist until he showed his original form, but it was not time after all, Hu Xiaotian lowered his voice and said: "Last night, two men in black sneaked into the Rift Cloud Valley and wanted to destroy the Buddha statue. ”

Long Xuanen's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a trace of waves in his eyes.

Hu Xiaotian deliberately said this to test his reaction, he couldn't tell the truth, but if he wanted to believe it, he had to mix some truth, so that he could not distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Long Xuanen said: "And then? ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Qi Danei and I were worried that they would be unfavorable to the Buddha statue, so Qi Danai rushed into the cave first to surround the Buddha statue. At this point he paused again.

Long Xuanen was quite impatient with his behavior of selling the guanzi, and urged: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Before we went to Rift Cloud Valley, Master Tongjing of the Prison once told us a thousand times that we should not enter the cave rashly no matter what, so we have always abided by their rules, burning incense and chanting sutras are outside the cave, last night the three of them entered the cave at the same time, and then Weichen heard three screams. ”

Long Xuanen said: "What? ”

Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "The minister didn't know what was going on, and when he was about to venture into the cave, he suddenly saw a long-haired monster with a half-human face and a half-grimace, and three people were caught from it. ”

Long Xuanen sneered: "Are you a three-year-old child? How is it possible for one person to catch three people out? Not to mention anything else, Qi Danei's martial arts are also first-class among the imperial guards. ”

Hu Xiaotian laughed secretly in his heart, the fart is first-class, and the martial arts of Qi Danei's three-legged cat can't stand Lao Tzu's punch now. He made a look of aggrieved on his face: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, the minister can't do anything, it may be that the minister is dazzled, but the minister really saw that half-human and half-ghost thing flew out with three figures, and Qi Danei was also among them, and flew until it reached the stone cliff due north and then disappeared." ”

Long Xuanen said: "You didn't chase after you? ”

Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "I am not satisfied with Your Majesty, at that time I was so scared that the seven souls disappeared and the six spirits disappeared, and even if the minister wanted to chase it, he didn't have the ability to fly, even if he caught up, he would only be sent to death, and it was not a pity for the minister to die, but if no one came back to report to the emperor, let the emperor know what happened last night, it would be a great sin." ”

Long Xuanen snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, but it is for my consideration?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, this Tianlong Temple is very weird, I think we should not stay here, for the sake of the emperor's safety, it is better to return to the imperial city as soon as possible." ”

"Bastard!" Long Xuanen was furious.

Hu Xiaotian pretended to be so frightened that he didn't possess his body, and knelt on the ground with a plop, secretly gritting his teeth and thinking that one day Lao Tzu would let you kneel back for me doubly.

Long Xuanen said: "It's all nonsense, from my point of view, it's basically Qi Danei who can't stand the hardships in the valley so he fled, you, as his top boss, are worried about taking responsibility for him, so you made up this lie to deceive me, are you old and confused?" How dare you deceive like this? ”

Hu Xiaotian complained bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, if the minister has the slightest deception, he will let the minister's internal strength be completely lost and go mad." "He can't wait for all his internal strength to be lost now, and he will go mad, anyway, sooner or later, it will be this day, and it is not a vicious curse.

Long Xuanen didn't know what he was thinking, and said coldly: "You stand down, and wait for me to find out about this matter before making a final decision." ”

Hu Xiaotian remembered that the monk still had to teach him martial arts, and hurriedly said: "The minister knew that he was negligent in disciplining his subordinates, so Qi Danei fled, and he was willing to go to the wall of the Rift Cloud Valley and chant and burn incense in front of the Immortal Buddha for seven days. ”

Long Xuanen's eyes rolled, his face was full of suspicion, this kid actually took the initiative to go to the wall of Rift Cloud Valley, there must be a mystery in this, he nodded and said: "I didn't force you, since you took the initiative to ask to face the wall to think, okay, then seven days." ”

Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed in his heart and bowed and retired.

Not long after Hu Xiaotian left, a gray figure quietly entered Long Xuanen's room and said in a low voice: "The fourth and fifth children didn't return all night last night, and it seems that they are already more than lucky. ”

Long Xuanen sighed, stood up from the futon, stretched his body, his originally rickety back instantly became straight, his eyes also bloomed with scorching essence, and he said in a low voice: "Qi Danei should also be dead!" ”

"Could it be him?"

Long Xuanen shook his head: "His martial arts shouldn't be that powerful." ”

"Big brother, I just heard a news that the monument to the death of the mountain behind Tianlong Temple has fallen, and now several senior monks in the temple are discussing."

Long Xuanen frowned: "You go and ask, is there a half-human, half-ghost long-haired monster in this Tianlong Temple." ”

"Yes! What should Hu Xiaotian do there? ”

"Leave him alone for the time being, wait until we find out what happened in the temple last night, and then think about him." (To be continued......) R1292
