The old monk saw that I was a little tired, as if he wanted to sleep, and knew that the storyline was boring and did not attract me, so he stopped listening and did not speak. I had no choice but to cheer up, poured a cup of tea for the old monk, and urged him to speak quickly, and to raise his spirits and appear interested.

The old monk opened his eyes, glanced at me, and sighed softly, as if he was a little disappointed in the young man.

The old monk said that just talking about Master Mibu, in fact, the Chen family is also very important in the back of the story, so I have to talk about it.

Let's say that after the kidnapping of Master Mibu that day, the people of Dali Temple surrounded the cave, but fortunately, they were able to get out thanks to dense rescue. After Chen Xianghui retreated from the back mountain, he was afraid of falling into the trap of the officers and soldiers, so he did not dare to retreat to other provinces immediately, so he found a place to hide and waited for the rumors to pass before acting.

After he went down the mountain, he wrote an order in the name of Dali Temple, handed it over to the county commander Jin Peichang to hand it over, and ordered Jiujiang and Nankang Prefecture to coordinate with the counties to arrest the kidnapped criminals and return to Beijing by himself.

Li Minghao, the director of the prison department of Nankang Mansion, is in charge of the torture room, thirty years old, the official is not big, only from the ninth grade, and the culture is not high, but he is shrewd and thoughtful. Although there are only more than ten subordinates, they are disciplined by him like a dragon and a tiger, and when a case occurs in various places, he immediately goes to solve it day and night, and he is sure of nine out of ten, and he is known as the Divine Detective.

This person knew about the kidnapping of the monks of Donglin Temple, and he was full of interest and wanted to set off immediately, but the prefect asked him to slow down. Why? It turns out that Maotouling, near Donglin Temple, is the junction of Jiujiang Mansion and Nankang Mansion, and there are disputes when there is something to do on weekdays, and it belongs to the place where you want to manage it badly.

A few days later, the order of Dali Temple came, and the prefect was relieved at this time, so he asked Li Minghao to investigate, and specially instructed not to make decisions without authorization, but in fact, the opportunity has been lost.

Li Minghao went to Donglin Temple to understand the situation, and then visited the people, especially asked the village girl who delivered food to the kidnappers at that time, according to the description of the village girl, these people are strong, agile, and extraordinary, Li Minghao is sure that this group of people is the remnants of the Yuan army.

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, most of the remnants fled to the north, and very few remained in the south. These people have been hiding here, haunting impermanence, and there must be something to do. Judging from the kidnapping of the monks, it must be involved in Buddhism. It is said that the monks were densely packed in Anhui Province to steal treasures and abscond, and the kidnappers may also have come for the treasures, which can be traced according to this clue.

Li Minghao decided to come and indulge.

Li Minghao discussed with the Jiujiang Mansion Torture Room, and all the road checkpoints for 30 miles centered on Maotouling were opened and restored to normal, and the open post was changed to a dark post. After the enemy is lax, the personnel after leaving the customs will be checked, and the men who are strong and have a military temperament will be tracked, and they can also be arrested first and then investigated.

Maotouling Mountain is high and densely forested, in the shape of a tiger, and the Bingshan Mountain is in the direction. Chen Xianghui knows a little metaphysical feng shui, so he lurks in the tiger's tail, and once the wind blows, he can swing his tail left and right to get out of danger as soon as possible.

The idea is very good, when the wind is tight, Chen Xianghui and his group of people hid in the cave for refuge, and it seemed to be quite safe. But after a few days, there was a shortage of food on the mountain, and the weather turned cold, and the brothers began to sigh for a long time, which was not a long-term solution.

Chen Xianghui sent people down the mountain several times to look for food, which was very difficult, and the money he carried with him had almost been used, and these were still part of the savings left by the Chen family. I had no money, I couldn't shop, so I could only satisfy my hunger with wild fruits, so I had to steal them. Once, a brother entered the village and stole grain from an old farmer's house, and after being discovered, he was chased and beaten by the villagers and almost died.

From the analysis of the villagers' lost belongings, Li Minghao felt that there must be someone hiding in the mountains, so he focused on strengthening the surveillance of Maotouling Huwei.

In the middle of winter, the weather quickly turned cold, and the Maotou Mountain was already frosty, and the white dew on the leaves was like small snowflakes falling. If it is snowing heavily, the traces are very easy to trace, and you must immediately go down the mountain and turn to other places, otherwise it will be a dead end.

Chen Xianghui has followed his father for many years, and has also experienced many wars, and he is also deeply infected, and he has a flexible and flexible response strategy for judging the situation. He is well aware of his situation and will not go down the mountain rashly, he needs to be considerate.

There is also a temple in the east of Maojian Mountain, called Foxiang Temple. The temple is not big, the incense is not very prosperous, but the monks who live there are not a few, the original reason is that this is the residence of the Buddhist master who studied Zen Buddhism, and many monks come here every year to study. Chen Xianghui decided to find a way from the monastery.

He asked more than a dozen people around him to shave their hair, and the hair was given by his parents, how could he shave it, and the brothers were puzzled. Chen Gongzi asked them if they wanted heads or hair. Naturally, the hair is not important compared to the head, so the knife is sharpened quickly and the hair is shaved. Then, Chen Gongzi asked them to find plaster, stolen the shaved head behind their backs, and they were not allowed to clean it. Everyone didn't understand that under Chen Gongzi's repeated requests, they could only comply.

One evening, he secretly descended the mountain with people and sneaked into the Buddha Xiang Temple.

In advance, Chen Xianghui and all the brothers agreed that only clothes, shoes, hats and rain gear should be taken, and the rest should not be taken. Everyone stared at Chen Gongzi with questioning eyes, not quite understanding, why not get some food and copper coins and silver taels by the way? But under Chen Gongzi's stern expression, he didn't dare to ask again.

They were divided into two groups, one pulled over the wall and entered the temple to steal clothes, etc., and the other pulled people to answer outside.

Chen Xianghui led people into the temple, it was very quiet, and there were no guards in the temple, only the sound of a light and crisp wooden fish knocking came from the main hall. There was only one monk in the hall who was beating in a trance with his eyes closed and in a trance under the light of the candles.

Because the monks get up early and go to bed early, it is very hard, and in the middle of the night, it is the opportunity for them to fall asleep.

Chen Xianghui and others touched the meditation room, pried open the door bolt, and took out the number of clothes and seats placed on the meditation bench. Then they went to the firewood room and took away the hats and brown coats that were hanging from them.

Things went well, got under the wall, tied up the clothes and threw them out of the wall.

After climbing over the wall, everyone picked up their clothes and disappeared into the woods.

After walking for about a few miles, Chen Xianghui asked everyone to stop and said, everyone put on monk clothes, we have to dress up as walking monks, pass through various checkpoints, and go north from Anhui.

And they all took off their clothes and put on their monk's robes.

It was only then that the brothers understood the reason for shaving their hair, and it made sense that they were not allowed to carry money or goods. Since it is a foot, it is necessary to turn into a relationship. Monks raise money to beg for food, so it is called fate.

Everyone changed into monk's clothes, looked at each other, they didn't know themselves, and they all admired Chen Gongzi's strategy.

Chen Xianghui also told everyone the rules of walking monks, and repeatedly emphasized that they should not accept money, only turn into food, and not take the initiative to ask for food.

Chen Gongzi, what should I do if I can't get married? Isn't it going to starve?

If you are hungry, you can't take the initiative to ask for food, otherwise you will recognize it as a fake monk at a glance.

After Chen Gongzi finished speaking, look at the sky, time is very tight, if the monk gets up early to recite, he will find that his clothes are missing, he must report to the official, and he must leave this place as soon as possible.

When the sky was slightly bright, a group of monks had already appeared on the official road, and successfully passed the first checkpoint.

After a village, the villagers really delivered food. Some of the brothers were already hungry and grabbed food and ate it.

Chen Xianghui felt that he was too embarrassed and had no monk etiquette, so he stopped next to him and glared at them to warn them.

Everything seemed to be going well, and after two days of walking, in the evening there was a lake in front of me. Chen Xianghui knew that when he arrived at Poyang Lake, he had to find a boat and get to the north shore as soon as possible before he could enter Anhui.

Just when everyone thought that they were out of danger and could take a breath and relax, suddenly, more than a dozen errand soldiers rushed out of the woods less than half a mile.
