Hu Xianxian urged the coachman all the way to the north gate, and when she arrived at the city gate, she asked the soldiers guarding the city if they had seen a blue-robed Taoist here, one said no, and the other said yes.

Hu Xianxian was anxious, "Have you seen it?" “

The soldier who said he didn't see it said, "I really haven't seen the blue-robed Taoist out of the city, don't mess around here." “

Soldier B, who said he saw it, said: "We didn't see it when we changed shifts, didn't they say they saw it?" It's just that when the city gate hasn't been opened yet, that Qu Chunrao said that her good friend was drunk and wanted to take him out of the city to find a good place to sober up? Gou Bantou has always been greedy for Qu Chunrao's appearance, so he let them out, and as soon as they left the city gate, they went out with a Taoist......"

Although Soldier A squeezed his eyes and crooked his mouth to suggest that Soldier B should not talk nonsense, Soldier B still finished talking about the matter, and Hu Xianxian also understood the general situation and urged the coachman to get out of the city quickly.

When he arrived at Dabashopo on the outskirts of the city, the coachman stopped the car, "Miss, the road outside the city is not easy to walk, the car is lost, and the horse is also pulling hard." Why don't you go and find someone on your own? “

Hu Xianxian was anxious, "You hurry up and catch the car, I'll add a tael of silver." “

The coachman smiled "hehe", "Miss, it's not like I'm taking advantage of your anxiety to rip money." There are few rented carriages in Lingzhou City, you are in the morning, and there are still a few people rushing to work. When it comes to the unitary, they all collect the car, and at night they can't find the car. I see you're going around so much that you probably won't be able to find anyone until night, so I've got to be prepared, don't I? “

Hu Xianxian thought for a while, "There are few cars in Lingzhou City, and someone will pay attention to the carriage that leaves the city gate before the city gate is opened. “

The coachman smiled and replied, "Well, if you ask like that, maybe you can find someone sooner." “

They asked people all the way if they had seen the carriage in the early hours of the morning, and several of them said they were.

After crossing the big plantain slope and arriving outside the Zenfu Temple, the coachman said suspiciously: "This Qu Chunrao is good at sobering up, and he goes to the temple to sober up?" Let the monk chant and sober up? “

Hu Xianxian got out of the car, "Did you take another fork in the road?" “

The coachman shook his head, "The only way to cross the Green Wax River to the northeast and turn over the small Basho Slope is the road." There is a righteous village in the small Basho Slope, which is a mass grave, where do you want the ghost to be scared and sober? “

Hu Xianxian asked him, "What if it's not for sobering up?" You seem to be familiar with that woman named Qu Chunrao? “

The coachman blushed a little, "I know her, she doesn't know me." She is the Oiran of Jinhualou, and there are many men who are familiar with her at the north gate, so they can only look at her. I heard that the three masters of Panlong Village are all good with her, and the deputy commander of Xiang Junmi is also good with her. “

Hu Xianxian asked, "Where is Panlong Village?" “

The coachman said, "Miss, are you stupid?" Panlong Village is a den of bandits! Besides, there is only a path at the foot of Qinglong Mountain to Jingyuan County, and after Jingyuan County to Jingyin County, Jingrong Ridge at the junction of Jingyin County and Jingyang County of Anhui Prefecture is Panlong Village. “

Hu Xianxian looked into the distance, "Please send me to the path at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, if we don't find anyone at the intersection, we will go back to the city." “

The carriage crossed the stone bridge on the Green Wax River, bypassed Yizhuang, went to Gaojia Village, and walked through Gaojia Village to the foot of Qinglong Mountain, and there was no road that could take the carriage.

Hu Xianxian looked left and right, but did not find the person she was looking for. And I don't know if it was because of the repeated fright and fatigue, she had a headache when she arrived at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, so she had to go back.

When they arrived outside the back garden of Shanfu Temple, they heard the sound of shouting and fighting in the banana forest outside the garden, and Hu Xianxian asked the coachman to stop.

The coachman said, "Miss, do you want to see it?" But you can't see, it's always not peaceful outside the north gate, so let's take advantage of the fact that it's not dark and rush back to the city as soon as possible. “

Hu Xianxian said loudly: "You can't stop? The person I'm looking for may be there, and if I miss it, I won't pay for the car. “

The driver stopped the car and said, "You give me half of the fare first." I'll wait for you on this road, and if you don't get in the car when you wait for a pillar of incense, I'll wait for you at the front gate of Zenfukuji Temple, and when I don't see you when I wait for another pillar of incense, I'll drive back to the city. “

Hu Xianxian still had a headache, but the pain was not groggy, but there was a cold and sober feeling that his brain and marrow were in the ice water.

She handed two taels of silver to the coachman, "You don't have to wait so long, when you wait for a pillar of incense on this road, if I don't come, you can go directly into the city to find someone from Hongbin Building on Nantong Street." Please bring a message to them and say: I didn't go back for three days, so I sold Hongbin Building and let my mother and third uncle take the money to go to Da Niu's hometown to retire. So that they don't have to report to the police. “

Hu Xianxian bowed to the stunned coachman and walked into the banana forest, her heart was very calm, so calm that she felt surprised.

She found out that the kidnapping was a conspiracy, and she couldn't guess what it was. She even felt that Cheng Haofeng's sudden appearance, her unwarranted closeness to him, and her sense of dependence were all part of this conspiracy. But even though she instinctively thought it was a conspiracy, she still thought she had to go into the woods.

In the middle of the forest, against the wall of the back garden of Zenfu Temple, there were three monks standing, they were holding wooden sticks and looking around vigilantly, and when they saw Hu Xianxian, they said, "Where is the woman?" Get out of here! “

Hu Xianxian said softly: "I'll come to see if my friend is here, he is wearing a blue sermon robe." “

When one of the monks heard her words, the wooden stick swept straight at her, "Okay, so you are an accomplice of the thief."

She leaned on her body to nimble to avoid the wooden stick, "Why do you hit people indiscriminately?" “

Another monk grabbed the monk who was still about to swing his stick and said, "Donor, leave quickly." We are arresting a thief who tried to steal into the temple to steal treasures, and he is a blue-robed Taoist. “

Hu Xianxian argued loudly, "What is a thief?" He's here to chase the kidnappers! “

The monk shouted, "Senior brother, don't stop me. I think this woman is an accomplice of the thief, and if I catch her first, the thief will be distracted and come to save her. “

The other monk was still hesitating, "Not well. If a monk does this kind of blackmail, he can't do it......"

But the monk had already glanced at the third monk when he hesitated, and the two of them attacked Hu Xianxian.

She slowly stepped back, one of them dancing quickly in front of her eyes, the other stumbling on the soles of her feet, she instinctively covered her eyes, and tripped to the ground without paying attention. The two monks rushed up and grabbed her left and right arms.

She secretly thought that she was really a bad star, and she was really the first to bring Cheng Haofeng to bad luck.

While she was thinking, a broken cry came from her ears: "Let her go!" You indiscriminate bald asses! “

Cheng Haofeng stepped on the stem of the plantain and flew diagonally, looking at the blue figure Hu Xianxian couldn't help but want to cry. The small jade sword in his hand flew out and stabbed straight at the monk who came up with the idea of catching Hu Xianxian.

The monk, who was still hesitating, saw that his fellow disciples were in danger, and waved his wooden stick like a shield so that the flying jade sword would not stab anyone. Cheng Haofeng kicked hard from the stem of the plantain, rushed to them, and swept the wooden stick in the monk's hand with a wave of his big sleeve.

The two monks holding Hu Xianxian crossed wooden sticks around her neck and pulled her back.

The monk who lost the wooden stick clenched his fist and hit Cheng Haofeng's face, Cheng Haofeng put his palm against his fist, and then twisted his palm to buckle the monk's connections. The monk was flustered and his feet were unstable, Cheng Haofeng took advantage of the situation to twist his arm, and his knee pushed against his lower back, and the monk half-knelt on the ground.

An old monk also stepped on the stem of the plantain and flew diagonally, and he landed between the people on both sides and said, "Okay, you thief, you are going around in circles with Lao Ke to lure Lao Ge away, so that he can attack Lao Ke's disciples." “

Cheng Haofeng looked at him coldly, "Didn't you see your disciple kidnapping my friend?" I just wanted to lure you away, but as soon as I got here, I saw your disciple bullying a weak woman. “

The old monk sneered, "It's your accomplice who wants to enter the temple to steal the treasure while the old man was lured away by you, and was discovered and caught by the old monk's disciples, right?" 〃

Hu Xianxian said to Cheng Haofeng, "Dao Chief, don't blame these masters first. You must have misunderstood. This master, Buddhism is compassionate, and you are willing to calmly listen to our defense. “

The old monk looked at Hu Xianxian, "What do you have to say?" “

Hu Xianxian asked rhetorically, "Have you ever lost your treasure?" Has he ever been in your monastery? “

The old monk said with a dark face, "Although the treasure has not been lost, he has not entered the monastery. But he sneakily stayed outside the back garden wall of our temple, and told him several times that he would not leave, and later said that the temple harbored kidnappers and insisted on entering the temple to search. He is not from the government, and he is still an outsider, how can we let him in? “

Hu Xianxian nodded, and asked Cheng Haofeng again, "How do you think that the kidnappers are in this temple?" Is the smell of beeswax powder left here? “

Cheng Haofeng shook his head, "The taste of beeswax powder is not here, but the taste is cut off here." I suspect that they deliberately concealed the smell in this temple. “

Hu Xianxian said to Cheng Haofeng, "I know why the smell disappears here, the incense in this temple is vigorous, and the smell of various incense candles is mixed with the smell of beeswax powder, of course you can't smell it." Let's go back, I know where Master Pan was tied up, not in this Shanfu Temple. “

Cheng Haofeng looked at her, "Can we go back?" “

Hu Xianxian said to the old monk again, "Master, I am Hu Xianxian from Hongbin Building on Nantong Street in the city, you can go and verify." There is a merchant in our store who has been kidnapped, you can also go to the government to ask, there is a record. Please let us go back. It's wrong for us to disturb the purity of the Buddha here, but the Buddha's generosity and compassion will not embarrass laypeople like us, right? “

The old monk didn't answer, he glanced at Cheng Haofeng, Cheng Haofeng lowered his head and said, "It's because I'm too anxious, and I want to enter the temple to investigate without thinking about it." Poor and reckless, please don't mind. “

The old monk waved his hand and motioned for the disciple to let go of Hu Xianxian, and Cheng Haofeng also let go of the disciple. The old monk erected one palm in front of his chest, "Amitabha, the old man also has recklessness, please understand." As for what the female benefactor said, the old man will verify it. The two of you will walk slowly, and you will not be sent far. “

The two walked out of the forest, and the coachman was about to drive away, when he saw them coming and hurriedly greeted them, "It's really hard for me, miss, have you found someone?" That's one more person, and that's more money for the car. “

Hu Xianxian glanced at Cheng Haofeng, "He can fly, he doesn't need to take a car." “

Cheng Haofeng has already stepped into the car first, "If you can have a car to sit on, just take the car." I don't want to bother anymore. “

Hu Xianxian glared at the coachman who was full of doubts, "Go back to the city quickly." The car will not be less expensive for you. “

When the carriage got up, Hu Xianxian sighed and said, "There are so many troubles today. However, I think I'm pretty smart and calm. ”

Cheng Haofeng chuckled, "This is a little spiritual light in your heart that illuminates yourself, and when you rebuild to your original position, you will be more calm and intelligent." “

Hu Xianxian half-narrowed his eyes, "But I think the feeling of tightening the strings in my head at any time is so tiring." I don't want to be smart, I need to sleep......"
