Chapter 223: The Masked Thief at Night (3)

Xiong Jiandong heard the voice of the woman in the room outside, it was Miaoxin.

He quickly took out the prince's sword attached to his calf, and immediately jumped up from the bed. But when he ran out the door and looked up, there was no sound on the eaves, and there was no figure in sight.

When Xiong Jiandong arrived at Yi'an Hall, he saw the wide grass platform in front of the door, and dozens of Taoists had gathered together, with panicked faces and discussions.

Under the porch, sat a prison with a knife wound to the back. Master Ciyi and Daoist Jingchen leaned forward, inspected the injuries in the prison, and ordered someone to give them medicine to stop the bleeding.

Because this prison is also a woman, Xiong Jiandong is inconvenient to step forward, and only looks out from a distance.

From the chatter of those Taoists, Xiong Jiandong could roughly understand it.

It turned out to be the backyard of the Taoist temple, and in the middle of the night, a masked thief broke in, holding a sharp knife and went straight to the scripture building, wanting to search for theft in the secret room. As a result, a prison guard on the upper floor of the scripture found that after a fight, the prison was defeated by the masked thief and was seriously injured.

The Tibetan scripture building is built dozens of meters opposite the Yi'an Hall, which is the closest to the shacket where Miao Xin lives. Na Miaoxin heard the shouts of the prison, and immediately raised her double swords and ran to the rescue, and was taking a look at the masked thief who ran downstairs.

The two fought from the scripture building to the grass platform. Later, when the masked thief saw Mrs. Ciyi, Daoist Jingchen and others appearing one after another, he climbed onto the eaves and fled in a hurry, and Miaoxin chased after him.

When he basically grasped the reason for the masked thief's appearance late at night, Xiong Jiandong immediately remembered the controversy he had heard in Miaoxin's room in the afternoon about the "Heavenly Mystery Sutra" and the secret room of the Tibetan Scripture Building.

Could it be that the person said that he was going to leave southern Xinjiang today, but he was just a false shot?

After a while, I saw Miaoxin holding two swords in her hand, turning back to the inner courtyard from the outside.

"Let the thieves escape?" Master Ciyi asked.

"Escaped!" Miao Xin gasped, and said regretfully, "Forgive the disciple for being incompetent." After chasing him outside the Taoist temple, the thief jumped into a bush and disappeared. ”

"Didn't anyone answer the thieves?" Mrs. Ciyi asked again.

"I haven't seen anyone else show up." Miao Xin replied, "The disciple saw him running all the way, so he didn't expect to have any help. ”

"By this time, the thieves must have fled down the mountain." Jingchen judged.

"Let him go!" Master Ciyi said, "I helped the prison to go back to the room to rest, and the others also dispersed." ”

After a few moments, calm returned to the front of the Yi'an Hall.

The masked thief broke into at night, and this happened in the backyard of the Queen Mother Chi Taoist Temple.

Because the distance between the Tibetan scripture building and the front yard is more than 100 meters, and there are several big trees in between, except for a guest in Xiong Jiandong who was alarmed, the other Taoists and tourists who have been resting outside have not been disturbed in any way.

Xiong Jiandong did not disperse with the crowd, but walked up to Mrs. Ciyi and reminded her worriedly.

"Did Mrs. Shi ever think that since the masked thief committed the crime and locked it in the scripture building, he must have his purpose of stealing. Now that he has returned empty-handed, will he go and return? ”

"Master Xie Xiong reminded that Kun Dao had already sent additional people there just now." Ciyi sighed, "Although there is a secret room in the Taoist temple, it is just a collection of some Taoist things that are not common in the world, and there are no gold and silver treasures, rare treasures. Even if the thieves dare to return, they will only return empty-handed. ”

"I heard that my senior sister has a very precious "Heavenly Machine Xuanjing", and even my junior sister has been hiding it for many years, don't let any thief with a heart rob it!" Jingchen Road.

Ciyi only glanced at Jingchen and did not answer immediately.

"Didn't you say that Uncle Jingchen will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, and my nephew will say goodbye to you, and please go back to the room and rest with the master!" Miao Xin said.

She lifted the double sword, and then beckoned Xiong Jiandong to leave together, so as not to disturb the rest of the master and uncle.

When Miaoxin was sent to the door of her dormitory, Xiong Jiandong seemed to have something to say.

"Do you know what Brother Xiong is going to ask?" Miao Xin's eyes shone with a cunning light in the darkness. "You probably want to guess who this sudden masked thief will be the Demon Saint, who actually broke into the Hidden Scripture Building at night!"

"It turns out that Miaoxin Dao Chang already knows it?" Xiong Jiandong asked.

"Don't forget, it's in private!" Miao Xin didn't respond directly, but said with a shy face, "I said before, only when the two of us are here, Brother Xiong is commensurate with his Taoist appearance, so he can only shout and do...... Miss Yin! ”

"Yes, Miss Yin!" Xiong Jiandong had no choice but to laugh.

"Thank you, Brother Xiong!" Miao Xin pursed her lips and smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Brother Xiong's judgment is not wrong. As soon as I fought the other person, I knew what it was. However, where will the master take the "Heavenly Mystery Sutra" into the secret room of the well-known Tibetan scripture building! ”

"Sure enough, they are all masters!" Xiong Jiandong praised.

"Go to sleep, Brother Bear. Don't forget that we will be with Master tomorrow and have very important guests to meet! ”

Miaoxin, who was finally called Miss Yin by Xiong Jiandong, smiled back at him, and entered the house with joy.

……

At noon, when a military helicopter rolled around the back mountainside of the Taoist Temple of the Queen Mother Pond of the Snow Mountain, and quietly stopped on the platform of the grass in front of the Yi'an Hall, Miaoxin and Ciyi Shitai, as well as Xiong Jiandong, had been waiting for the flying visitors for a long time.

The hatch opened, and a military general in his fifties, carefully supported by two guards, stepped out of the helicopter. He is the head of the joint logistics headquarters of the border police theater with profound qualifications and high ranks.

Xiong Jiandong noticed that the Hou chief was holding a silver-gray cane with a handle, and he also limped up one leg when he walked, looking no different from his previous self, Hua Nianping. Obviously, one of Chief Hou's legs seems to have been wounded in battle in a long time.

He immediately recognized this Chief Hou, who was the person he had carefully rubbed his back for him in a bathhouse in Haidian District more than a month ago.

But Chief Hou didn't immediately think of Xiong Jiandong.

"It's an honor. Welcome the general to the Queen Mother Pool of the Snow Mountain again! Ciyi greeted Chief Hou.

It turned out that it was not the first time that Mrs. Ciyi had met with this chief.

"Thank you for your reception!" Chief Hou also politely replied to Ciyi, "You are still so full of energy and strong body, you really deserve to be a hundred-year-old real person, with a fairy bone style!" ”

"Immeasurable, the general has worked hard all the way!" Miaoxin followed the master and stepped forward to bow deeply to Chief Hou.

Ciyi Shitai and Miao Xin both addressed Chief Hou as a general, and avoided his surname, which is the highest respect expressed by Taoist hospitality.

As for the word chief, it belongs to the name of the official position in the mortal world, and all outsiders in the Taoist family are only collectively referred to as the donor, and the head of Hou is famous and high-ranking officials, so of course he cannot be called the lord of Hou.

"Good on the trail!" Chief Hou also greeted Miao Xin with a smile, and then asked Xiong Jiandong, "Who is this young man?" ”

"He is the bear benefactor, and he is a guest invited from the capital by the little apprentice Miaoxin, and he can be regarded as a good friend of the Tao." Ciyi introduced, "Everyone is not an outsider! ”

"Hello Chief!"

Xiong Jiandong subconsciously put his feet together, intending to make a military salute, but he only raised his hand slightly, and it quickly fell. After more than a month of training in the Secret Service, he had to salute his commander with a military salute, which gradually became an instinctive habit. But in front of Mrs. Ciyi, it is not good to be so public.

After all, Miao Xin did not tell Xiong Jiandong's identity and face, and told Mrs. Ciyi after finishing the book.

Chief Hou shook hands with Xiong Jiandong very warmly.

"You turned out to be from the capital." Chief Hou glanced at Xiong Jiandong seriously, but he still didn't recognize him after all.

Next, Master Ciyi was too busy welcoming Chief Hou into the Yi'an Hall.

The two guards of Chief Hou, although they were invited into the house many times to entertain them, still stood at the door and dutifully assumed their guard duties.

After a few people sat down, a little Taoist aunt who had served tea had also retreated, and Mrs. Ciyi went straight to the point and talked with Chief Hou.

"It's been a few days in a row, and the little apprentice Miaoxin has mentioned it several times, saying that the general wants to come to the Queen Mother Pool of the Snow Mountain to enlighten the way, and today is really here." Ciyi said, "I don't know what the general has to do on this trip?" ”

"The teacher is too serious!" Chief Hou said with a smile, "I remember the last time I met a real person, I met at a meeting in Wushi. Now that two years have passed, Hou has the opportunity to come to southern Xinjiang again, how can he not visit your old man by the way. ”

But Chief Hou is an extraordinary person in the end, thinking of the shrewd Ciyi Shitai, he can't fully believe his politeness with a few words, and then added: "And there is more coincidental, I also heard that Miaoxin Xiaodao also happened to serve by Shitai's side, Hou stepped on the iron shoes and had nowhere to find, so it was even more worthwhile." ”

"Looking at the general's meaning, don't you have something to talk about with the apprentice Miaoxin alone?" Ciyi seemed to be very generous in tone, "And let Bendao and the bear donor avoid it!" ”

She said that, but thumped her feet down, got up and was about to leave.

"How dare Hou see the foreign teacher. Even if you have something to discuss with Miaoxin Xiaodao, you can't avoid your old man! ”

Chief Hou smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ciyi. He seemed to feel an aura passing between his calves just now, and knew that it must be because Shi Tai had a bad heart for a while, so his true qi was inadvertently revealed.

But Chief Hou didn't make any moves to Ciyi, but glanced at Xiong Jiandong.

Xiong Jiandong immediately noticed from Chief Hou's demeanor that only he was superfluous. He took the initiative to stand up with interest.

"I still have something to do, so I'll retire first!" Xiong Jiandong borrowed the old way.

"Brother Xiong, slow down!" Miao Xin shouted.

In a hurry, she couldn't care about calling Xiong Jiandong "donor" anymore.

Even if Chief Hou can't have insight, he understands at the moment that Daoist Miaoxin has a close relationship with this young man, and it is by no means an ordinary friendship. I can't help but ask in my heart, who will this so-called "Big Brother Xiong" be?
