Daoren continued: "You take the middle road - keep going south, don't take the fork in the road, at the foot of the mountain, there is a small bamboo forest, on the edge of the bamboo forest, there lives a lonely old man, surnamed Huang, everyone calls him Huang stubborn. He knew how to get to Caojiagou. After Doren finished speaking, he quickly flashed out of the room.

After a while, Qingquan's figure appeared around the corner of the corridor.

Soon, Qingquan walked into the room, carrying two hot water bottles in each of his hands.

Xiao Luhan and Lu Qian took the hot water bottle from Qingquan's hand and put it in the corner.

"Where's Doren?" Qingquan looked at Zhao Zimeng and said.

"He went to find a straw mat."

As soon as Zhao Zimeng's words landed, Daoren walked into the room, and he was empty-handed: "Captain Zhao, I didn't find a straw mat." ”

Finding a straw mat is just an excuse.

"No problem, just wipe the plank clean, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. We'll go back to Mingchen Nunnery now to get the covers, can the two masters accompany us through the back door. ”

As a result, everyone knew, and the two agreed to Zhao Zimeng's request.

Obviously, Doren wanted to help his comrades, but he didn't want Kiyosen to know; He also didn't want Kiyoizumi to suspect what he had revealed to his comrades, and he wanted to create the illusion that he had no chance to have contact with his comrades alone. Therefore, he left briefly before Qingquan returned to the room, and finally asked Qingquan and himself to accompany their comrades to Mingchen Nunnery to get a bed.

There is indeed a small door behind Ziyunxuan, on the way to Mingchen'an, in the midst of casual conversation, Zhao Zimeng learned an important situation: Ziyunxuan has a total of two back doors, one back door is behind Ziyun Xuan, and one back door is behind Yangxin Palace.

The Taoist priests in the temple went to the mountains to chop wood, collect herbs, take a walk and practice, and walked through the first back door, and the second back door was only accessible to the Supreme Elder alone, and the entire Ziyun Temple had only one key - this key was always hung on the belt of the Supreme Elder's trousers.

Daoren is very scheming, and this situation was told by him when he lured Qingquan to say it.

Go out the back door, walk a stone road more than 100 meters long, and three forks appear in front, one fork to the south, one to the west, and one to the north.

Daoren stood at the fork and stopped: "Qingquan, which way do we go?" Comrades rarely walk the mountain road, this black rumbling, you can't see your five fingers, don't stumble your feet. ”

"Then take the gentler road to the north!" Qingquan Road.

There are two roads from the back gate of the Purple Cloud Temple to the Ming Chen'an. The other road may be a little closer, but the road is rougher.

After walking north for a minute or two from the fork, a forest appears on the right side of the road.

Daoren stopped at the edge of the woods, and he tugged at Zhao Zimeng's clothes at the same time: "Captain Zhao, you may not have been to Ziyunguan before!" ”

"It's true that we haven't been here, and if it weren't for the case, we wouldn't have come to Ziyunguan." Zhao Zimeng didn't know what Master Daoren meant for the time being, so he could only echo it.

"There are several grottoes in front of it, and there are more than a dozen stone Buddhas in them, which are national first-class protected cultural relics."

Zhao Zimeng somewhat understood what Master Daoren meant, at such a special time, Daoren mentioned the grottoes, there must be a reason: "Yunfei, let's go and see, it just so happens that we have a flashlight." “

"Please come with us." Kiyoizumi volunteered.

Qingquan walked in front, and everyone followed.

After walking in the woods for a minute, Ling Yunfei's flashlight caught a wooden door flanked by high stone walls.

"Master, what is this wooden door?"

At this time, Master Qingquan was walking next to Linghu Yunfei.

"It's—" Master Qingquan stopped when he wanted to speak.

"Master Qingquan, why is there another door here?" Zhao Zimeng also walked to Master Qingquan's side.

"This is another back door, there are two back doors in Ziyun Temple." Qingquan said as he looked at Master Daoren who was walking behind.

"Two back doors? Why two back doors? Where does this door lead? ”

"This door leads to the True Elder's Heart Cultivation Palace."

Zhao Zimeng finally understood why Master Daoren was tugging at his clothes. Look at the grotto is fake, so that the comrades naturally see that the second gate is real.

"Do you usually walk through this door?"

"This door is in the backyard of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and only the Supreme Elder has the key." Qingquan Road.

After contacting Master Daoren's series of actions, Zhao Zimeng finally understood that he wanted to lead his comrades to depth, but he was afraid of being detected by Master Qingquan, so he used his brains a little and thought of some ways.

"Where does this road lead?"

"It also leads to the Ming Chen'an."

After Qingquan finished speaking, he walked up to Master Daoren and said in a low voice: "Daoren, tonight, what we said to the public security comrades, we must not let the third person know!" ”

"What we say to our public security comrades" should be "what I say to my public security comrades." Kiyoizumi piggybacks on Daoren as well.

"Don't worry! You just have to keep your mouth shut, I'm not going to tell anyone, and besides, it's not a secret, and you don't need to be so cautious. ”

Zhao Zimeng looked at his watch, the time was 8:45.

After that, the two masters led everyone into six grottoes, where there were several stone Buddhas standing or sitting, and at most there were nine stone Buddhas in one grotto, and amazingly, these stone Buddhas were carved from a single stone - that is, the stone Buddha and the whole grotto are one and the same.

The path chosen by the two masters is connected to the back door of Mingchen Nunnery. Halfway through the stone path, it becomes a normal mountain road.

When everyone walked to the back door of Mingchen Nunnery, Zhao Zimeng looked at his watch again, and the time was nine o'clock. It took the comrades more than ten minutes to visit the grottoes, from the back gate of the Ziyun Temple to the back door of the Mingchen Temple, and from the main gate of the Mingchen Temple to the back door of the Ziyun Temple, the comrades took about half an hour.

With the help of Master Qingquan's mouth, Daoren conveyed a very important message to his comrades, and the importance of this message did not stop at this very special back door. In this world, except for the Taoist priests of the Purple Cloud Temple, I'm afraid no one knows about this door, and no one will care about this door.

Elder Zhizhen confined his disciples to a small space, I'm afraid that it was not only about cultivation, but also because there might be some other considerations!

Lin Di stayed in Mingchen Nunnery, Xiao Luhan, Ma Jianping and Lu Qian went to Ziyunguan with the two masters, and Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo rushed back to the Public Security Bureau for a meeting.

Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo went back to the Public Security Bureau for a meeting to tell Master Qingquan, you should know what the three of you are going to do.

By the way, the three of them rushed to Caojiagou to see the unknown Taoist.

Xiao Luhan and his entourage took the cover and followed the two masters out of the back door of Mingchen Nunnery to return to Ziyun Temple; Zhao Zimeng and his entourage walked out of the front door of Mingchen Nunnery.

Before breaking up, Zhao Zimeng found an opportunity to explain the task to Xiao Luhan alone: "After returning to Ziyun Temple, immediately monitor the Heart Cultivation Palace." Zhao Zimeng hopes that Jingping is still alive, and he even hopes that there is more than one person alive, if Jingping is still alive, then they must have been transferred to Ziyunguan; If Jing Ping and others were hidden in the Purple Cloud Temple, the True Elder would definitely make a move.

Next, let's follow Zhao Zimeng and his entourage to Caojiagou to have a look.

It was Mo Ran who opened the door for everyone.

When the three of them walked out of the nunnery, they said silently: "Are the three comrades still returning to the Mingchen Nunnery tonight?" ”

Zhao Zimeng felt that Master Mo Ran's words were not superfluous, so he said: "Master Mo Ran, thank you for your hard work, you can sleep in peace, and if we come back, we will call your door." ”

"The mountain road is not easy to walk, so the three of you should be careful all the way. Amitabha: "This is the only emotional sentence that Master Moran said.

"Thank you, Master Mo Ran."

The three of them walked to the mountain gate of the Purple Cloud Temple. Stopped.

In front of the mountain gate of Ziyun Temple, there were indeed three ways down the mountain, before, Ling Huyun flew to Ziyun Temple twice, but he didn't care about these three ways down the mountain.

The road that Doren spoke of was hidden in the pine forest south of the Ziyun Temple.

A rugged mountain road leads to the bottom of the mountain - there are several forks in the road, and if it weren't for Doren's special reminder, everyone would definitely go the wrong way. At the foot of the mountain, there was indeed a bamboo forest, and the three of them turned around on the edge of the bamboo forest for most of the circle, and sure enough, they saw two thatched houses, one large and one small, and there was a fence in front of the thatched houses.

Before they had even reached the gate of the fence, a dog barked wildly, louder than the other, and put its two front feet on the fence, and the fence shook violently.

The lights in the thatched hut were not on, but everyone heard the sound of the door opening.

After a while, a dark shadow walked towards the fence gate, and as he walked, he said, "Ngawang, stop calling. ”

The dog was obedient and bowed his head and stepped aside.

"Uncle Huang. Sorry we disturbed your sleep. ”

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes, we're here for you."

"Who are you?"

"Uncle Huang, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"The Municipal Public Security Bureau? Do you have anything to do with me? Please come in, if you have something to say, come into the house and say. ”

Zhao Zimeng was the last to walk into the fence gate, and he gently closed the fence door - the fence door was about to fall apart.

Ngawang soon became intimate with his comrades, and he scurried between the three of them, wagging his tail incessantly.

Huang stubbornly took out a box of matches from his pocket, lowered his head and walked into the thatched hut, he struck the matches, and walked towards a small table.

On a small table is a kerosene lamp made of glass bottles.

The old man lit the kerosene lamp, the wick of the kerosene lamp jumped a few times, the light was very weak, the old man picked up the kerosene lamp and looked at it, the oil in the kerosene lamp was about to bottom out - no wonder Huang stubborn did not light the lamp?

The old man hurriedly moved a few small benches and sat down the three of them.

"You're looking for me—"

"Uncle Huang, the unheard Taoist of Ziyun Temple, do you know the old man?"

"I know, when the Wuwen Daoist was in the Purple Cloud Temple, he often came to me to drink, and he is no longer in the Purple Cloud Temple."
