Chapter 54: Showing Up
In the end, it was still cold in the snow, Su Yu was not a cultivator, and he usually did not exercise, his hot sweat dissipated, his hands became cold, and Yang Yin's small hand in his palm became a furnace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Su Yu smiled awkwardly and reluctantly let go.
Begonia was afraid that Zhou Fan would not be able to avoid it, and urged him to hurry north, but Su Yu couldn't ask for it. Zhou Fan went to find Mingtang's bad luck, and when he saw Qiu Chang'an, everything was gone. When the time comes, don't say that Qiu Chang'an's crazy woman will not let him go, maybe Zhou Fan will also trouble him with a stick.
Thirty-six plans to go up. Su Yu led Yang Yin out of the snow, and happened to meet Hua Whale driving leisurely to find him. Seeing that there was one more girl, she didn't ask much, but smiled:
"Young ladies and young masters, if you don't leave, you won't be able to catch the last train!"
The three of them hurriedly got into the car and headed all the way to the northern suburbs. Su Yu was very happy and made noise all the way. Half funny, half complaining, Yang Yin told Yang Yin in detail about the things along the way. Yang Yin smiled when she heard it, echoed twice, and did not answer. Instead, he swept towards Hua Whale in the driver's seat from time to time.
When he arrived at the station, Hua Jing quickly took an extra ticket from the crowded ticket gate with the connections of Boss Le. The three of them boarded the bus smoothly, and no one in the huge Tianjin noticed the departure of the three of them.
The train opened, and Yang Yin, who had been silent, couldn't wait to speak:
"What kind of character is this Hua Whale, I always feel that he is not ordinary, but I can't figure out why for a while. β
Su Yu was stunned for a while, Hua Whale's head was bright, his mouth could speak, his body had no qi, and he was not strong, and he would fall to the ground if he punched him, and he couldn't help but be curious:
"What's wrong with Hua Whale? Isn't it just an ordinary fellow?"
Begonia also laughed softly at this time, and her bright eyes flashed with meaningful colors.
"Hua Whale is not ordinary at all. When the thirteenth floor was burned in Yangzhou, even Kuang Qingye and the old man Bu Zhuanzi didn't notice Miss Yang's broken water, but Hua Jing could see through it at a glance, isn't it strange? Parking the car near the photo studio tonight, it seems to be unintentional, but in fact it is intentional, deliberately letting us find Miss Yang and Zhou Fan. And, the train tickets were suspicious, as if everything was in their plans. This Woyun Tower is really unpredictable. β
Su Yu frowned, "Isn't Boss Le a good person, Woyun Tower is a big trap, and Beijing also has a trap waiting for us to drill?"
Begonia shook her head, "It's hard to say right now. Everything Woyunlou does is in accordance with our hearts, helping us to achieve things all the way, if it is not a great good, it will be a great evil. We have to be careful. β
Su Yu nodded, thinking that his father trusted this Le boss, it was inevitable that his heart would be cold, not a taste.
The journey from Tianjin to Beijing was very smooth. After stopping for a night in the wind and snow, I got out of the car in the early hours of the morning, and I didn't feel too cold. The boss of Woyun Loule still asked a guy to pick up the wind. The three of them smiled on their faces, but secretly they had an extra heart.
Beijing Woyun Tower is no different from Tianjin, it is still a Western structure, a plaque surrounded by lights on the faΓ§ade, and the dragon and phoenix dance are written with the words "Woyun Tower". As soon as they got out of the car, a man came out of the car.
He was a young man with a long body and a handsome appearance, two eyes that were very shrewd, a golden eye hanging on the bridge of his nose, and a book between his flanks.
He didn't invite the three of them in, but said with a smile:
"In Xia Jingping, the accountant in the Woyun Building, you can also call me Mr. Bookkeeper. The three can make Boss Le wait. Yangzhou Painting Liaozhai is stealing treasures in the south of the city, and the matter is getting bigger, and Boss Le has gone to check the situation. The boss also said that if you arrive, you might as well go and add someone. β
Haitang raised his eyes, and knew the sound of the sea, "Painting and talking about stealing treasures?" This is strange, let's not talk about whether it is Jiang Lin, the time when this news appeared is too weird, besides, Jiang Lin is not a person who steals things, I don't think this person can be trusted. β
Su Yu chuckled in the sea of knowledge, "Who said that Jiang Lin wouldn't steal things, the chalcedony on Lao Tzu's body was stolen by him from his ancestors." Jiang Lin behaved strangely, and he had no treasures on his body, and it was not impossible to take a fancy to other people's thieves. β
Haitang was silent, and Su Yu asked with a smile, "I don't know where it is south of the city?"
"Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer. β
Yang Yin gently pulled the corner of Su Yuyi's clothes and reminded him to be careful of fraud.
Su Yu clenched her little hand and comforted, "It's okay." β
If Woyunlou wanted to deal with them, why did he go to great lengths to lead them to the Temple of Heaven? If it was really Jiang Lin, wouldn't he miss a great opportunity? Whether this news was true or not, whether he believed it or not, he had to go and see it for himself.
So the three of them rushed directly to the Temple of Heaven without stopping.
South of the city. Yongding Gate, east side. Temple of Heaven.
The altar wall of the Temple of Heaven is round in the south and north, there are mainly two large altars in it, the prayer valley and the mound, all are round, one south and one north, one high and one low, the direction is quite exquisite. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties all came here to worship the emperor and pray for grains, it is a solemn holy place in Beijing, and it is normal to hide one or two treasures.
Su Yu, Haitang, and Yang Yin spied on the outer wall of the Temple of Heaven and found that there was not even a bird shadow inside, let alone any fighting.
At this time, in recent years, it was snowing heavily, and in the early morning, there were few people near the Temple of Heaven. The new government opened the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven was guarded, and the inside and outside of the walls were quiet, and the sound of snow pressing on the branches could be heard clearly.
"Damn, who said it was a big deal? This fucking doesn't even have a bird, what can it do! That bastard in Woyun Tower, what kind of conspiracy is there to trick us here?"
"Don't worry, I'll check. Yang Yin said softly. Foamy droplets of water grew in his hands, and as soon as Lan fingers were sent, a water dragon meandered and disappeared in the vast snow.
After a while, she opened her eyes and pointed to the four directions of the altar wall, and the main hall in the prayer valley altar.
"There are four groups of people around the altar, and the one wearing the black cloak in the southeast direction should be the people of the God of Wealth Temple, and I can't see which sect the other three groups are. There were about twenty people in the temple, ready to go, as if they were waiting for someone. β
Su Yu looked at it, the snow was white, and he couldn't tell the inside and outside of the wall in a blink of an eye. The God of Wealth Temple probably also heard the news and ambushed Jiang Lin here. The other sects either came to see the excitement or to pick up fish in the water.
The prayer valley hall is not high, but it occupies a large area. Glazed tiles, spires, and gilded treasures, are indeed a good place for Tibetans.
Haitang was worried, "This place should not stay for a long time, the Temple of Heaven is important, and it is guarded by exclusive dignitaries, although the former Qing Dynasty has fallen, those onmyoji are still there." Besides, there are too many people here, and we are not familiar with the terrain, so we will suffer if we fight. β
Words may not be, a fist-sized stone went straight to the door of Su Yumian, Haitang was the first to notice, with a wave of his sleeve, the stone paused in the air and fell straight to the ground.
But this wave of sleeves was like touching a certain mechanism, and a faint film appeared in front of the wall, flashing with a strange light, no different from when the armillary sphere array was activated.
Could it be that there is also a formation in the Temple of Heaven? Su Yu was extremely surprised, he didn't come back to his senses, his body had been held aside by Haitang and Yang Yin, and he pulled back, and a red light began from the Prayer Hall, and he disappeared into his original seat with a pop. More than a dozen figures approached them at great speed.
It's exposed!!! Cruel in the mouth, damn, who threw the stone? Let Lao Tzu find out and skin him alive!
A dozen people landed silently, encircling them in a circle. They were wearing wide crimson cloaks and Peking Opera masks, black, red, blue, and purple, and they couldn't tell the fat and thin age, which was very weird. Luckily, it's daylight, and if it's night, you'll probably mistake these people for ghosts.
They were all extremely tall, surrounded by unfathomable qi in each of them, and a huge sense of oppression came over them. Su Yu condensed and felt that the weakest of them may be slightly worse than Begonia, but they are not far from Zhou Fan.
This level can be a hall master in the God of Wealth Temple, Su Yu was surprised, the cultivation is so high, are they all the onmyoji left by the former Qing Dynasty?
Su Yu looked at the begonia, and the begonia lost his smile.
One Zhou Fan can easily deal with it, but five Zhou Fan is a little difficult. These dozen or so Zhou Fan together have no chance of winning at all. Even if Jiang Linzhen came here to steal something, he might have been cleaned up by them.
Haitang secretly calmed down, bowed forward, and said:
"Jiangnan white begonias strayed into this place, unintentionally offended, and offended. β
The masks didn't move, except for the red cloak fluttering in the wind, and a dozen pairs of eyes staring at them coldly through the masks, and there was no other reaction.
Immediately, a figure floated from behind the wall, wearing a red mask on his face, floating in the air and looking down on them. Buzz:
"Xingqi jade Peiming, Yangzhou painting chatting. Painting and chatting about going north, everyone guessed their meaning, but I didn't expect you to really aim at the Temple of Heaven. β
Su Yu secretly said that this person has a bit of ability, and he hasn't made a move yet, but he only glanced at it and knew that he had a qi jade on his body. I was shocked, this leader probably hadn't seen Jiang Lin, but regarded himself as the master of the painting!
In my heart, I must be wrong, and I will be wrong, and I raised my voice:
"I have always sat upright in painting and chatting, and there are many treasures at home, so I really can't be interested in the Temple of Heaven. This time, I heard that someone was stealing treasures in the name of painting and chatting with me, and I specifically checked the situation. β
The masked man smiled and folded his hands.
"Everyone who fell here, who didn't claim to be here to see the situation. If you want to know what's going on, please come in and talk about it. β
With a movement of his hand, more than a dozen masked people suddenly swelled in unison and attacked the middle, and the qi jade flew up, raising it in front of Su Yu's chest, shining with a big light, buzzing, and invisible pressure surging from all directions. Begonia was still able to withstand this qi, and her body was dexterous and attacked a mask, and the mask took a step back and was in a stalemate with her. Yang Yin's condition was much worse, the broken water was wrapped around her body, and she was cut layer by layer by the qi, her expression was painful, and her lips were already bloody.
Su Yu was furious when he saw it, and with the protection of his qi jade body, he wanted to rush forward and open a bloody path, no matter what red mask and black mask he had, to hell with it.
The masked man didn't expect Su Yu to draw the Lord of Zhai, and he actually played like this? The humanoid meat shield, the qi array didn't hurt him at all, and he rushed over with one head, and was frightened for a while, and knocked over one.
The rest of the people were calmly looking at him when a hearty laugh came from inside the Temple of Heaven.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for moving. The baby is in hand, and I say goodbye!"
The man floating in the air suddenly looked back and saw a sturdy figure in a black cloak, suddenly over the wall and disappeared. The man was shocked, chased straight after the figure, and left a sentence:
"Turn the tiger away from the mountain, hurry back to the position. β
More than a dozen red-clad masks immediately dropped them, scattering from all around them in an instant, disappearing into the high walls.
The qi machine retreated like a flood, and the pressure suddenly lost. Su Yu's feet were weak, and his head hit the air, and he was very annoyed. scolded in the direction where the figure disappeared, his grandmother's, what's going on?
Haitang helped Yang Yin retreat towards the street, and shouted at Su Yu, "Don't leave yet?"
Su Yu came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Yang Yin, and stayed away from this inexplicable Temple of Heaven.
As soon as he stepped out of the street, he was followed by a line of tails. The cloaks of the Temple of Wealth were about to catch up in three or two steps. Haitang made a decision immediately, and asked Su Yu to take Yang Yin to take the first step and break it himself.
Su Yu didn't hesitate, helping Yang Yin to run wildly, a strange light bloomed behind him, and the cloaked man cried out in pain.
Su Yu ran left and right in the alley, until he was on the street where there were more passers-by, and he was relieved to confirm that there was no tail behind him.
Yang Yin's qi machine was damaged, and he was not seriously injured. Su Yu found a noodle shop on the side of the road and sat down for her to rest. The noodle shop has a good line of sight, and the surrounding situation can be seen clearly, and you can escape quickly if you want to. After a while, Begonia descended from the roof and joined the two of them.
Su Yu said angrily, "Those masks are thick enough, even if they are the remnants of the former Qing Dynasty, they should not occupy the mountain as the king." This Forbidden City belongs to the whole people, and the Temple of Heaven is not allowed to be stepped on by others?"
Haitang disagreed, and said softly, "The Temple of Heaven is not as good as the Forbidden City, its location is ingenious, mysterious, and no one knows what secrets are hidden in it, and it is extremely famous in the Yin and Yang Dao." In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a Taichang Temple to manage the Temple of Heaven, which collected the masters of the major yin and yang roads in the country. The former Qing Dynasty was destroyed and a new government was established, but these onmyoji did not leave with them, and they still performed their duties to protect the Temple of Heaven here. From this point of view, there are indeed very important and crucial things in it that can make them gamble their life and time. This is really intriguing. Without them, something big might happen. β
Yang Yin pursed her red lips beside her, "Taichang Temple is another matter. I'm afraid that we have fallen for Boss Le's plan now! Mr. Jiang is not in the Temple of Heaven at all, and Boss Le let us be bait and transfer these tigers from Taichang Temple so that his people can steal the treasure!"
Su Yu listened to Haitang's storytelling with a serious face, and then listened to Yang Yin's dissatisfied conclusion, and couldn't help laughing.
Yang Yin's eyes glared at him, and Su Yu hurriedly stopped laughing, panting and said:
"No, it's true that Woyunlou uses us as guns, but it may not be Boss Le who makes the gun. β
Yang Yin was puzzled, Su Yu snorted and laughed, "You were injured just now, you may not be able to hear clearly, that thief's laughter is clearly Jiang Lin's big bastard, you can't be wrong!"
Haitang also smiled, and his eyebrows were full of smiles: "It's really him, otherwise he would have left directly after stealing the treasure just now, why leave a word to relieve our siege." β
Yang Yin suddenly couldn't help but show joy on her face. "Great, it's Mr. Jiang. It turns out that the fault is Woyun Tower, but I don't know what kind of treasure Mr. Jiang stole from?"
Before the words were finished, Haitang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them, staring at the top of the street opposite, his eyebrows shrugged together, full of vigilance.
"The tail is coming again. β
Just as he was about to make a move, a muffled sound sounded from above, and a black cloak fell from the house, startling the people around the noodle shop to scatter.
An abnormal wind swept by, and a white snake-like thing swirled in the snow for a while, flying towards the Suyu. The white snake shrank back, chirped, and turned into a snow-white swallow, which landed on Su Yu's shoulder.
Su Yu was overjoyed, touched the swallow and said, "It's Long Yan! Jiang Dabastard is nearby!"
Haitang and Yang Yin looked around, and another black cloak walked briskly from the street corner. Everyone looked defensively, only to see that the black cloak lifted its hat and revealed its face. Two neat eyebrows, the severity peculiar to a soldier, who else is not Jiang Lin?
Begonia's eyes sparkled, and a "Jiang Lin!" blurted out. Yang Yin was extremely happy, and called "Mr. Jiang." β
When Jiang Lin saw them, he laughed heartily three times, and said with a slight breath: "I'll rest for a while, that Taichang Temple can really run, and it has chased me nine streets." It took me a lot of effort to get rid of him. β
He stepped forward in three steps, sat down with great swagger, poured a few cups of tea before he came to his senses, looked up at them and smiled:
"You just come to Beijing, why don't you provoke Taichang Temple?"
Although the tone is reproachful, it is difficult to hide the joy in it.
Su Yu snorted, "Isn't it because you, the master of Jiang Dazhai, haven't seen you for a few days, I didn't expect my ability to grow so big, and I turned into a Jiangyang thief." β
Jiang Lin shook his head amusedly: "When did I become a thief of Jiang Yang? Aren't you the ones who steal the treasure? If you don't investigate the situation first, you dare to do it, there are many masters inside and outside the altar, and you are bold." β
Su Yu was surprised, jumped up from the stool, and widened his eyes: "You're not here to steal treasures, so why are you going to the Temple of Heaven?"
Jiang Lin restrained his expression: "Could it be that you were also attracted by the theft of treasures? Yesterday evening, I came here after hearing this widely circulated news. 'Painting the Lord of the Zhai will steal the treasures of the Temple of Heaven in the early morning'. I wondered who had the audacity to commit theft in my name, but I didn't expect it to be you. The God of Wealth Temple heard the news and was also ambushed outside, so I took the opportunity to sneak into the God of Wealth Temple to inspect it, and ended up with both. β
Su Yu hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt when he heard this, "I heard it confused, since we all rushed to the Temple of Heaven after hearing the news, who is the person who really wants to steal the treasure?"
Jiang Lin frowned: "Where did you hear your news?" β
"Woyun Lou, Boss Le. β
"Boss Le?" Jiang Lin thought for a moment, his face dazed, "Who is it?"
Su Yu was about to explain, when a car with an oily glow stopped in front of the noodle restaurant, and Si Swenwen's Jingping got out of the car and made a gesture to everyone.
"It's great to see all of you come together now, and it's a great pleasure to see you all together. My boss set up a banquet in Woyun Building to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, and please enjoy your face and move. β
Su Yu glared angrily and sneered, "How did you know we were here?"
Jing Ping seemed to be smiling, looked at Jiang Lin pointedly, and said softly: "In Beijing City, there is no one that our Boss Le can't find. Master Jiang Dazhai, you said yes, right?"
Jiang Lin's heart moved, and the three words of Zhuli Pavilion appeared, thoughtfully.
Su Yu was extremely angry, clapped his hands and sneered, "I see." It seems that this play was arranged by Boss Le. first released the news to attract everyone to gather outside the Temple of Heaven, and then borrowed the hands of Taichang Temple to use the three of us as bait, forcing Jiang Lin to show up. After attracting the attention of Taichang Temple, you will steal the treasure again. It's really killing two birds with one stone, and you won't lose money!"
Jiang Lin also smiled appreciatively at this time:
"After stopping in Beijing for a few days, I can avoid the search and arrest of the God of Wealth Temple, Huangque Tower, Mantanghong, Jinwuwei, and Taichang Temple, but I can't avoid the clever tricks of the boss Le. Sure enough, it's a good means. β
Jing Ping smiled and pushed his glasses, as if he was very satisfied with this compliment.
"You don't have to be annoyed, there are also people from my Lying Cloud Tower outside the Temple of Heaven, if Lord Jiang Zhai doesn't appear, our people will also take action, and Young Master Su will not make a mistake. Besides, the people of Taichang Temple were measured, so Boss Le chose the Temple of Heaven. Young Master Su, Boss Le misses you very much, there are a lot of eyes on this street, why don't you go to Woyun Tower to rest first?"
"Fart!"
Su Yu said angrily. This Le boss is a weasel, and he didn't have a good heart from beginning to end. First, he used the three of them to lure Jiang Lin out, and then injured Yang Yin, what the did you say that you had to do in a measured way? Now, your face has been exposed, and you want to trick yourself into going to Woyun Tower to continue to be a monkey?!
Jiang Lin stretched out his hand to stop Su Yu, and said to Jing Ping: "Woyunlou is so dedicated, if I don't see Boss Le, it will seem that I am rude to talk about it." β
Su Yu was angry, but Haitang stopped him and shook his head.
Su Yu couldn't guess what Jiang Linhaitang and the others were thinking for a while, but the two of them were smart and had their own clever plans. Holding his stomach, he led Yang Yin and followed them into the car.
