After jumping into the temple, Lin Xu jumped out again, two or three ups and downs, and he was close to the front of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Hall behind.

He cut under the eaves of the east side near his yard, and when he got under the eaves, he moved forward with a bent waist against the wall. When he reached the first window on this side, he paused slightly, and listened inward, but he could hear that there was no conversation between the two inside. There was only the faint and inaudible sound of footsteps, the occasional tapping and thudging, and the glow of a flashlight swept out of a few broken window holes from time to time.

The sound of the beating was not concentrated in one place, but scattered on both sides, and from time to time, from time to time, the sound of the beating was also different, as if it was striking on different things and parts. Coupled with the glow of the flashlight from time to time, it seemed that they were not here to steal the few surviving Buddha heads, but as if they were looking for something. Otherwise, at this time, you should concentrate on one head to saw.

With a little doubt in his heart, Lin Xu continued to bend down and move forward carefully. When he reached the middle door of the temple, he turned and pressed against the crack in the door and looked inside. He felt that this place of inspection was more secretive, and would not be easily discovered.

Carefully looking inside, he saw that the two people inside were indeed looking for something. They parted in the middle, and each looked for it separately, knocking and sometimes stomping on the clay statues of the sculptures and on the high platform below them, sometimes with their feet.

"It looks like they're looking for some kind of mechanism, could it be that there is still some secret room hidden in the apse of this ruined temple?"

Looking at their movements, it was very similar to what they were looking for in the novel, Lin Xu couldn't help but guess in his heart.

It's not impossible to say that there will be some underground secret room hidden in this temple. In some previous temples, it is said that there were similar things. He remembered that there was a report in a newspaper he had read before, saying that so-and-so temple suddenly opened and a hidden underground palace was discovered. It seems that there was also a case in the news broadcast on TV.

Although this ruined temple is small, it is not impossible. It's just that he'd never thought about it before. At this time, when I saw the actions of these two thieves, I thought of this section. I can't help but secretly guess that if there is really a hidden secret room, dungeon or the like, I don't know what treasures will be hidden inside. The case reported in the newspaper is said to have some relics of high monks and the like, but anyway, the cultural relics and religious value are very large.

It's just that if the two of them really came to find some hidden secret room or something, then they shouldn't have come to steal the heads of the remaining Buddha statues. But I don't dare to guarantee that the few heads that I lost in the past may not have been done by them. It's better to be raw than cooked, and come back to see if you can still find any surplus value.

With the light of the flashlight played by the two people inside, Lin Xu could already see that the two people inside were a man and a woman, and the woman had a good figure, although because of the angle, she couldn't see her face clearly for a while, but judging from the side that could be seen, she should be very good-looking, especially with a good figure. She also wore a black motorcycle suit similar to Guo Jing, with a close-fitting leather jacket and leather pants, which showed her figure very well.

However, there was no metal decoration on her leather jacket and leather pants, if anything, it was two daggers resembling short knives pinned to the left and right sides of her waist. And there seemed to be something like a dart stuck in the belt of her dagger. The other man over there was also dressed in a black leather jacket and leather pants, similar to her. Both of them don't look very old, they are both in their twenties, and the woman seems to be a little younger.

Looking at the dress of the two, and the blades on their bodies, Lin Xu judged that the two of them should have practiced. Being a thief is also a high-risk profession, and you should have the ability to defend yourself with both hands. And when they jumped into the temple through the window from the outside, they were also very neat.

"I didn't find anything here, but what about you?" After the two of them knocked all the way to the wall, the man turned around and said to the woman in a disappointed tone:

The woman turned around and shook her head at him, and said with a sigh, "No!"

Both of them spoke Mandarin and did not use any local dialects.

"Are we in the wrong place again this time?" the man asked.

The woman groaned and said, "Don't rush to conclusions yet, let's go back and look carefully." The shaping technique of the clay statue in this temple is indeed the handiwork of the ancestor of Kongkonger. And it's not like we've been before, just one or two, all the statues here are all. So I think this is probably the place we're looking for. If we can't find this apse, we'll look for it in the front hall. Although the secret room of a temple like this is usually built in the apse, the ancestor of Kongkonger may not have gone the opposite way and unexpectedly built it in the front hall. ”

"Kongkonger?" After Lin Xu heard this name, he felt a little familiar, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that it was the characters mentioned in one of the stories in the picture of "Thirty-Three Swordsmen" attached to the back of a novel of "Chivalry and Travel" that he had read. The original text seems to be an ancient Tang legend, and it is said to be the earliest form of martial arts novels. But he didn't remember the specific plot of it, only vaguely remembered such a character. I can remember it because the name is very distinctive, and it is also associated with an idiom of "empty hands".

Clever hands are often used to refer to thieves, describing them as very good at stealing. And this empty child is said to be the first thief in ancient times. The two in it are also thieves, and calling Kongkonger the ancestor is also in line with his identity. It's just that I don't know, this is just the honorific title of their thief's industry, just like the carpenter respects Lu Ban as the ancestor, and the singer respects Tang Minghuang as the ancestor, or the two of them are indeed the descendants of the disciples inherited from the empty air, this is called the ancestor.

If it is really the latter, it is a bit remarkable, the sect created in the Tang Dynasty is at least a thousand years of history and inheritance. With such a long-standing sect, these two people must know very well the history of the martial arts world and the current situation in the martial arts world, at least more and more detailed than Guo Jing.

"It's just that they know it's one thing, but they don't necessarily want to tell me. And if I show up at this time, they will definitely treat me as an enemy. I'm afraid that if I don't have a chance to speak, he will immediately start a fight with me. I don't know what level of martial arts these two people have? Can I parry it? If I am not an opponent at all, and I am killed by these two people in one move, it will be too unjust!"

Lin Xu thought to himself in his heart, and considered his actions. Because of the speculation in his heart brought by the empty child, he really wanted to meet these two people. But the two of them came here in the middle of the night to do a secret treasure hunt, and when they saw him appear, they would definitely regard him as an enemy, but he didn't want to take this risk easily.

After thinking about it, he still stood still for the time being, controlling his breathing and heartbeat more carefully, silently observing and listening to their conversation outside. Hopefully, more information will be gained from their conversations.
