"Master, Princess Guyu has been missing for three years, and there is a vast sea of people, where can I find her?"

"I'll give you a clue," Yin Xun pointed to the house on the mountainside that had lit a small oil lamp, "There is Zhu Yankang's lover three years ago, and there should be something out of his mouth." ”

When Lu Kang heard this, he hesitated even more, since his master knew that person knew the clues, why didn't he ask and look for him himself? It must be because the man was too difficult to say anything.

Yin Xun patted Lu Kang's shoulder and said seriously: "Lu Kang, you have never let me down, and I hope this time is the same." ”

Lu Kang clearly saw a sly smile in his eyes, and he could only sigh slightly in his heart, who let him follow such a master temporarily.

"Can the master tell his subordinates why they are looking for Princess Guyu?"

"The man in there is Bai Junzhuo's cousin Bai Xu, I need to let him go back to Bai Mansion."

Yin Xun replied, Lu Kang was a little puzzled, since the ultimate goal was like this, why didn't he just kidnap him and bring him back, and find the ancient fish princess for him who was impossible to find at all?

After the order, Yin Xun left to find Bai Junzhuo, and Lu Kang went to Bai Xu's residence to find Bai Xu.

When he arrived at the window, Lu Kang looked Bai Xu, who was carefully copying scriptures in the room, up and down, and his first impression was that this was just a sour scholar, and he could just force him to go back with a knife on his neck.

So he broke down the door, opened the paper fan and wanted to persecute Bai Xu, Bai Xu heard the movement and looked up at him, he sat straight, there was no trace of panic in his eyes, stared straight at Lu Kang, and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Lu Kang was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Emperor Yuan once said: Only blunt awls can be placed in cloth bags, and sharp awls will pierce the cloth bag sooner or later, revealing their edge.

This person didn't ask him who he was, so he directly asked him what was the matter, so that Lu Kang didn't know how to answer.

"If you're tired from walking, sit down and rest for a while." Bai Xu saw that he was stunned, so he said lightly and continued to copy the scriptures.

Lu Kang walked to the side and sat down, and considered the appropriate words: "This son, I was ordered by my master to find the ancient fish princess Zhu Yankang, and I heard that you know the clues, and I asked the prince to tell me." ”

Bai Xu's pen paused, for a long time, and replied indifferently: "Why deliberately force it, if I really want to return to the world, even if there is no Yankang, I will go back." What I said before was nothing but vanity and misrepresentation. ”

Lu Kang was taken aback again, he always felt that he was clever and could see through anyone at a glance. Listening to his master's words just now, I thought that the reason why this person escaped from the world was only Princess Guyu, but I didn't expect that it didn't seem to be the case.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Kang asked, "Why does Bai Gongzi have to stay away from the world?" ”

"Because the bystander is clear, and when he looks at the world outside the world, he can see through it."

"What a bystander," Lu Kang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't know what the prince thinks about the affairs of the temple?" ”

"In today's temples, there are too many rabble, and the two tigers are eating, and the ultimate gainer is the hunter." Bai Xu put down his pen and looked at Lu Kang and replied.

Lu Kang's heart was like a mirror, and he finally understood what his master's purpose was for him to come to see this person. He wanted him to bring this person back and help His Majesty take back the country that belonged to the Yin family.

He also wanted to test Bai Xu again, so he pretended not to understand his words and asked, "Can Childe explain the white point?" ”

"The royal family can't marry a big family, and the relatives concentrate on representing the interests of the powerful level, and the queen mother puts his father and brother in important positions, from the general to Shangshu Province, there are no less than fifty people in the Fu family." Bai Xu is like reading, and he has no feelings at all, "The rights and interests of the Yin family exist in name only, even if Emperor Yuan is ambitious, he can't uproot the Fu family that has lasted for several generations." ”

"So Emperor Yuan needs a talent like you to help him regain his country."

Bai Xu smiled slightly: "I'm just a mediocre person in the mountains, what I say, the son can listen to it at will." Talking about what Emperor Yuan needs me, I'm afraid that for the rest of my life, Emperor Yuan will not know about the existence of a person like me. ”

Seeing his soft refusal, Lu Kang was not in a hurry, opened the paper fan and shook it gently, and asked with a smile: "Since it's small talk, it doesn't matter what you say." I want to ask Bai Gongzi, is the country of Li forever in the hands of the Fu family? ”

Bai Xu said: "Emperor Yuan is ambitious but unable to do so, the four princes have heavy troops but are sent to the side, the nine princes are rich and invincible but have no access to politics at all, and although the Yin family has available materials, they are all restrained." ”

Lu Kang immediately asked, "Then now, what can Emperor Yuan do to reverse the situation that he is controlled?" ”

"The power has been in the hands of Shangshu Province since Emperor Yuan ascended the throne, and Shangshu Province obeyed the orders of the Fu family. If Emperor Yuan wants to govern in person, he will inevitably clash with his authoritarian relatives," Bai Xu calmly analyzed: "If he wants to restore his power, he can only rely on the people closest to him to launch a palace coup d'état and cut off the power of his relatives." ”

"The closest person to him?" Lu Kang was puzzled: "You mean his guards and concubines?" ”

"The guards are military generals, and they can't always serve by Emperor Yuan's side; If the concubines interfere in politics, it is inevitable that there will be a second Empress Dowager," Bai Xu paused, and then said: "So the closest person to the emperor, the person who can help him launch a palace coup d'état, is the eunuch." ”

Lu Kang closed the paper fan with a "snap", got up and arched his hand: "Don't hide it from the prince, below is Lu Kang, the leading general of the central government, listening to the words of the prince today, I know that the son is not a thing in the pool, I wonder if the son is willing to return to the court with me?" Emperor Yuan will never treat a talent like you badly. ”

Bai Xu shook his head and replied indifferently: "No, from now to next month, I still have nine hundred and eighty scriptures that I haven't copied." ”

Emperor Yuan recruited virtuous people is not a matter of one or two days, if others hear his name of Lu Kang, they will also say something about the way of the official march, show themselves more intelligent, and let themselves get closer to the wealth and prestige.

But this person said lightly, "The scriptures have not been copied", and he turned him away thousands of miles away, really indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not want everything.

Lu Kang was not annoyed, got up with a smile, and said, "Since this is the case, I will leave below." ”

After that, he really walked out without hesitation.

Away from the cabin, Lu Kang looked back, and the man under the lamp was still copying the scriptures seriously.

He sighed lightly and muttered to himself, "I'm afraid, this person wants His Majesty to come to greet him personally." ”

Yin Xun sent secret guards to look for Shen Wujie and Bai Junzhuo, but their whereabouts were not found in the entire mountain, only Lingye Temple was not found.

He ordered someone to block the way down the mountain, Shen Wujie must still be on the mountain, he only has a place to hide in the Lingye Temple.

At this time, it was late, Yin Xun climbed over the wall into the Lingye Temple, and jumped on a tall tree to look down on the whole temple, and saw that the temple was distributed in the shape of "Tian".

There is one of the tallest temples not far away, which is estimated to be the main hall dedicated to the gods in the Reyeye Temple. If Shen Wujie is really hiding in this temple, other places will be easily discovered, only the main hall, there are many people during the day, and no one will pay attention to him. He jumped on the roof of the main hall with light skills, leaned over and listened for a while, and concluded that there was no one below, so he jumped down silently, pushed open the door and walked in.

Entering the main hall, Yin Xun lit a fire and illuminated it, the hall was empty, and there was a statue of Guanyin in front.

Yin Xun raised the fire fold a little higher, and when he saw the face of the Guanyin statue clearly, his brows frowned deeply.

This Guanyin statue has a long face of eyes, and the one in his hand is not a jade bottle, but a doll with a big head.

No matter how you look at it, it's evil, will anyone really come to worship it?

"Who?!" Someone outside the hall suddenly shouted, and Yin Xun immediately blew out the fire and ran behind the Buddha statue.

Then, two little monks with torches walked in, took a picture in the main hall, found no one, and finally took a picture of this Buddha statue, one of them said: "Senior brother, didn't the abbot say that this Buddha statue should be wrapped in a white cloth and not exposed?" ”

His brother replied, "The white cloth has been hanging for a month, and it has fallen a layer of dust, so I took it to wash it today." ”

The little monk rubbed his hands and said in a low voice: "This Buddha statue is really scary, and I don't know if it can make ......."

His senior brother patted his head with a "snap" and reminded: "Be careful when you speak, this is related to the people in the palace, once you say the wrong thing, you don't know how to die!" ”

"Senior brother, what does this thing have to do with someone in the palace, when will our original abbot master come back? Uncle Shi Wu is sometimes too ......"

"Shhhhhh......hh ”

"Senior brother, I'm just telling you, I've never told anyone else."

"Yes, don't say it, this matter is still involved in the palace, if you do something wrong one day, you won't be the only one who will die!"

The little monk immediately nodded and said, "Senior brother, let's go back first, I think it's eerie and scary here." ”

With that, the two of them walked out of the hall and locked the large wooden door with vermilion lacquer.

After the two left, Yin Xun walked out from behind the Buddha statue, lit a fire again, and stood in front of the Buddha statue to look at it, who is this thing related to in the palace?

He stared at the Buddha statue for a long time, and he didn't know what it was, so he leaned forward to take a closer look, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this thing was panicking.

The big-headed baby in the hand of the Buddha statue faced the Buddha statue, Yin Xun wanted to see if the baby had carved facial features, so he reached out and touched its face facing the belly of the Buddha statue.

At this touch, Yin Xun suddenly found that the baby's base was very loose and could be moved, so he turned the baby's face to himself.

He saw the baby's face clearly, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes, he had never seen such an ugly carving, the baby's face was wrinkled, like the face of an eighty-year-old man, there was a belly carved on the belly, and the intestines and stomach inside were all exposed, and the most evil thing was the eyes, which revealed obvious ill intentions, especially special horror.

After he finished looking, he turned around again, moved the baby's face back, and as soon as he moved to its original position, he heard a "boom", and a hole was opened directly under the Buddha statue.
