Chapter 90: There is no paradise to escape
The night is getting darker, and the cold wind is getting up. The yellowed dead leaves tried their best to cling to the rotten branches, which were already a little powerless, and refused to let go, but finally had to wither to the ground due to the excessive wind.
In an instant, the originally clean and tidy ground was soon covered by falling leaves.
At dawn tomorrow, the little monk who cleans this place will sigh again: Why is it that the rise and fall of the old and the new are so rapid before they know it? I don't know how many times it has been. In that case, why do we still have to fight and fight? Isn't it suffocating to be so glorious in life, but not knowing when and where?
Suddenly, the fallen leaves on the ground made a strange sound from time to time, sounding like the crisp sound of someone stepping on the dead leaves.
When it was young, the sound grew from far to near, and gradually revealed a faint figure. When I looked closely, it turned out to be the abbot who came over cautiously.
From his nervous and serious expression, it is not difficult to guess that there must be something urgent waiting for him to deal with here. Otherwise, as the abbot, why would he be so sneaky?
Seeing that the abbot with a somewhat abnormal expression first carefully checked around and made sure that no one was following him, he went straight to a dilapidated house in the backyard of Qingyun Temple, and then opened the lock on the door with his hands trembling slightly, and then hurriedly walked in.
The house is small in size, sparsely furnished, and the few pieces of furniture that are in tatters, and it seems that it has been uninhabited for a long time.
When the abbot entered the house, he first wandered around the room for a while, and then sighed and sat down on a dusty chair, muttering hesitation, and then staring at a landscape painting on the opposite wall for a long time.
After a while, the abbot stood up abruptly, and then walked towards the painting.
He first twisted the scroll at the bottom of the painting, then pulled out a key from it, and then went straight into a corner of the inner side of the house, and opened a hidden compartment hidden there.
The abbot inserted the key into the recess in the compartment, turned it once to the left and then twice to the right, and then gently pushed the key inward, and a secret door was opened.
Seeing that the secret door could be opened smoothly, the worried abbot took the key, quickly entered the secret passage, and then immediately closed the door of the secret passage.
I don't know how long it took for the abbot to come to a secret room. As soon as he arrived at the door of the secret room, the abbot noticed something unusual.
When he hesitated to open the door of the secret room and take a look, he was shocked by what he saw.
As expected, the man who had been under house arrest had escaped.
Seeing this, the abbot suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't figure out how the people could escape with such strict guards and institutions.
In his opinion, this is absolutely impossible. But the facts are in front of him, and he has to admit that it seems that he still has omissions. If not, there is someone superior to help you.
In addition to the shock, the thoughtful abbot did not forget to conduct a careful investigation of the scene, hoping to get some clues from it.
Sure enough, in an inconspicuous corner, the attentive abbot found a suspicious jade pendant.
This jade pendant is crystal clear and has a high quality, and at a glance, you can see that the person who wears it is by no means an idle person.
What is even more noteworthy is that the front of this jade pendant is also engraved with a word - plum. Don't......
The stakes are very high, and he must immediately report this matter to Shangfeng to know, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Seeing this, the anxious abbot immediately hurried out of the secret room and cautiously withdrew from the secret passage.
However, to the abbot's surprise, at this moment, an unknown person nearby was spying on his every move.
How could the man not be at home, so that the perceptive abbot noticed something unusual, and then exposed his whereabouts.
When the abbot saw this, he immediately shot him with a poisonous needle, and then chased after him with an arrow, wanting to find out.
After being injured, the man fled the scene in severe pain. When the abbot heard this, he saw a little blood on the ground, and knew that the man had been wounded.
And the mysterious person imprisoned in this secret room is Liu Ruotian, who has disappeared for many days.
As for Liu Ruotian, who seemed to be seriously injured on the surface, but was rescued by Guo Nianyao by seemingly coincidental and pretended to have amnesia, he was an out-and-out impostor.
The real purpose of this man is to use Liu Ruotian's identity as a cover, so that he can lurk in Liu Xinyu's mansion unknowingly and wait for an opportunity to steal the secrets.
Unexpectedly, this imposter could not only easily transform into Liu Ruotian's appearance, but even his voice and demeanor were imitated vividly, and there were almost no flaws to be found.
If it weren't for Mei Yuchen who sensed the clues in time, and then quickly launched relevant actions, I am afraid that Xiao Qingzhu and the others would still be kept in the dark until this time.
Who is this mysterious man pretending to be Liu Ruotian? We don't know. However, this person has come and gone secretly, and if he is not eradicated as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles.
And with the successful escape of the real Liu Ruotian, more mysteries and truths will be gradually revealed.
So, how did Liu Ruotian escape from here? It's a long story.
At midnight that day, the groggy Liu Ruotian gradually fell asleep from fatigue and fatigue.
In his sleep, Liu Ruotian seemed to hear his parents calling his name incessantly.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ruotian, who was already exhausted, ran over with all his might, and then tried hard to clear the fog in front of him, and then vaguely saw that his parents were not far in front.
Seeing this, Liu Ruotian happily waved his hand at them, and couldn't wait to rush up, wanting to hug them.
But when Liu Ruotian walked up, his mother suddenly disappeared, and what gradually came into view was only a father with blurred flesh and blood and a hideous face.
I saw Liu Xinyu slowly stretch out his hands, and then said to Liu Ruotian intermittently: "Ruotian, my good boy." Father...... Father...... Jaya...... Never to be seen again...... I can't see you......"
Before the words were finished, Liu Xinyu disappeared in an instant.
When Liu Ruotian saw this, even though he looked nervous and panicked, he began to call out for his parents like crazy, but they never showed up again.
I only heard Liu Ruotian shout - Dad! Then I woke up from my dream in an instant.
After waking up, Liu Ruotian saw that it was a dream scene, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Ruotian, who was physically and mentally exhausted, stood up, and then lit the lamp on the side, wanting to drink saliva to suppress the shock.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Ruotian lit the lamp in front of him, he saw a strange old man appear in front of him, staring at him and smirking.
This situation frightened Liu Ruotian's legs weak. In this secret room, except for some people who send in some daily necessities from time to time on weekdays, there is no one else, is it a ghost?
Thinking of this, Liu Ruotian was so frightened by that person that he fainted. When he was young, Liu Ruotian gradually woke up, and the old man was still in front of him.
Seeing this, Liu Ruotian looked at the person carefully. Seeing that the person who came was flesh and blood, and thought that it was not a ghost, how did he get in?
I only heard the man say to Liu Ruotian with a little sarcasm: "Poor Mei Yuchen, you love such a cowardly person like a mouse so much!" ”
As soon as Liu Ruotian heard the three words of Mei Yuchen, he immediately became interested, and immediately asked who the old man was and why he was here.
It turned out that it was Mei Yuchen who asked him to rescue him.
On that day, Mei Yuchen, who had mixed feelings, couldn't wait to find the real Liu Ruotian after finding out that Liu Ruotian in the General's Mansion was not him, so as to find out the truth of the matter. However, no matter how hard Mei Yuchen tried to find him, Liu Ruotian was still missing, and there was no trace of him.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and one night a few days later, the old man came to Mei Yuchen's residence unconsciously, saying that he could help Mei Yuchen find the thin lover she thought about day and night.
It's just that if Mei Yuchen wants him to do this, he must meet one of his requirements. That is to first take the jade pendant he wears with him as collateral, otherwise everything will not be discussed.
Mei Yuchen was reluctant to see him make such a request, but now he can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
The old man claimed that his surname was Wu, and his name was Xianggong, so Mei Yuchen called him Xianggong Wu. As soon as I heard this name, I knew that it was false, and it was clear that I wanted to take advantage of Mei Yuchen.
Speaking of this person, he has quite a bit of origin. The old man was about seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair and a gray beard, and he looked a little awkward. I always feel that this face doesn't seem to be his, but I can't say anything abnormal.
The specific name is unknown, only his surname is Wu. As for his name, most of it was made up by this person in order to hide people's eyes, and the credibility is not high, and even this surname is afraid that it is fake.
But what is certain is that this person has a strange personality and extremely high martial arts, and often loves to fight with others, punish rape and eliminate evil. However, its whereabouts are strange and erratic, and they disappear and appear in front of them, so the people of the world know very little about them.
According to rumors, everything this person promises can be done for you 100 percent, but it is costly. Because every time Wu Xianggong accomplishes something for others, he has to let the other party meet one of his requirements. This requirement varies from person to person, whether it is money or material, or promises, or what you care about the most.
If you don't agree to Wu Xianggong's request or regret it afterwards, then he will try all kinds of ways to entangle and torture you, and you have nothing to do with him. In the end, you can only obediently obey him.
Of course, the unfathomable Wu Xianggong is not someone who is willing to help. The people he helps must be people who are more pleasing to the eye and valuable to him. Otherwise, even if someone from a rich country invited him to go out of the mountain, he would still be unmoved. can really be called a "weird old man" who behaves strangely, has a mysterious identity, and has a special fetish.
After Liu Ruotian heard this, he immediately asked: "In this way, if you save me from life, you will definitely make corresponding requests?" ”
"That's natural, but I haven't figured out what you're going to do for me. In this way, the right to write it down, and after we get out, we will make another calculation. Wu Xianggong said with a smile to Liu Ruotian on the side.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ruotian began to look at the person in front of him again. This man had a kind face and neatly dressed, and did not look like a mad man. However, his behavior is casual and hippie, smiling and talking upside down, which is by no means what a normal person should be. From this point of view, this person's words should not be believed.
Seeing this, Wu Xianggong was a little impatient. Just in case, he quickly stepped forward to knock him unconscious, and then took him safely away from Qingyun Temple.
However, in this process, perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry, Wu Xianggong, who had always been cautious, accidentally left Mei Yuchen's jade pendant at the scene.
It wasn't until a few hours later that the abbot, who sensed that something was wrong, hurried here and discovered the jade pendant.
The incident happened suddenly, and the abbot did not dare to slack off. That night, the abbot of Qingyun Temple went to Jiang Xinghe Mansion to inform him of the incident.
The abbot originally thought that he would inevitably die this time, but Jiang Xinghe did not embarrass him, but just ordered him to keep quiet and temporarily return to Qingyun Temple to standby.
And when the abbot handed the jade pendant to Jiang Xinghe, he recognized at a glance that it was something that Mei Yuchen was wearing, and concluded that this matter must be related to it.
However, in the face of Jiang Xinghe's constant temptation, the determined Mei Yuchen just didn't reveal a word to him.
In this regard, Jiang Xinghe was very annoyed. But he didn't dare to tell Mei Yuchen what to do, so he could only laugh with him, and secretly ordered Shi Yongning and others to secretly investigate the matter.
On the other hand, Liu Ruotian, who finally escaped from Qingyun Temple, did not dare to go home. In desperation, he could only temporarily live in a small cabin outside Chang'an City to recuperate from his injuries. Wait until the situation stabilizes, and then make another plan.
