Omubu asked Long Xiaohu to guard the county seat of Nanzhao, and he personally ran to Nanyang Mansion City - according to Long Thirteen's requirements, considering that the two of them were still young, they had to go to Nanyang Mansion City to report to him first after they had a plan, and he could only implement it after he approved it.

As a result, Long Thirteen knew about his conversation with Long Xiaohu.

"Do you think there's something wrong with Manjusri Temple?"

"It's just speculation, but judging from all indications, Manjusri Temple is easy to defend and difficult to attack due to its deep mountains, so it is very suitable for Zhou Jiali to use it as a lair."

"Furthermore, according to the monks of Manjushri Monastery, they had contact with Zhou Jiali, saying that although Zhou Jiali was cruel, he still respected Buddhism, and I don't believe in this verse."

"Oh?"

"I'm not familiar with Taoism, but for Buddhism, the most taboo is to kill, Zhou Jiali not only kills people, but also uses it as military food, this is a catastrophe, if he really believes in Buddhism, he should immediately put down the butcher's knife, but he obviously didn't."

"So you think this temple has been controlled by Zhou Jiali? But even so, how can we explain how he dared to come and harass us?"

Omubu shook his head, and only said after a while, "Maybe this person is really bold and accustomed."

"Wrong, impossible, if that's the case, then it's not boldness, it's stupidity and ignorance."

Long Thirteen looked at Long Xiaoshi, "What do you think?"

Long Xiaoshi said: "I think so too, this week Jiali has been surrounded and suppressed by the official army for three years, for three years, the official army has found nothing, this week Jiali is getting bigger and bigger, it is obviously not enough to use courage to speculate on him, this person must be very deceitful, his nickname is called the black-hearted wolf, it can be seen."

"And the people around me, whether it is the government or other rebels, are not enough to make them enemies of me, and I can't imagine that this person would dare to be so mad."

Li Xin said, "In my opinion, if the guess is correct, there must be a change in the team of this black-hearted wolf."

"Oh?" , Long Thirteen also thought of it in this section, but he didn't say it just now.

"There must be a newcomer in his team to join, and this person must have a grudge against our department, since the city of Suidezhou, our department has killed countless officers and soldiers, gentry, and giants, and the big boss is kind-hearted, and he has let go of many prisoners."

"Some people may not be treated favorably after they go back, according to the virtue of the government, if they do not have a deep background, they will be suspicious, and these people will not blame the government when they are angry, but will be even more resentful of us."

Long Thirteen took over the conversation, "Since there is no way to continue to serve, he took refuge in Caokou?"

"It is very likely that this person is either resourceful or strong in martial arts, which impresses Zhou Jiali, so he will have these behaviors."

Long Thirteen spun around in his mind, and he didn't think of who it was, but he still agreed to Omubu's plan.

.....

After all, Long Thirteen's Investigation Division is a new creation, and it is deep in the southwest of Henan, so he obviously doesn't know much about what happened in Shanxi and Hebei at this time.

Since he occupies Nanyang Mansion, how can Ruzhou Mansion, which is separated from Nanyang Mansion by a mountain, be empty?

Just when Long 13 had just taken the Left Banner Battalion, two troops secretly drove from the direction of Shandong through Hebei and Shanxi.

One is the new Fengyang commander-in-chief Mu Wenshou, after he went south from Maojindu, he immediately drove the army to Yuncheng (Luohe City) and Xiangcheng, blocking the road from the east to the eastern plain, of course, it will naturally block the road of Gao Yingxiang and Wang Ziyong's troops fleeing to the mountains of western Henan through here.

In Ruzhou Mansion, it was Ma Degong, the newly organized Beijing Battalion Staff General, and after Chen Yongfu was defeated, he took over the post of Ruzhou Branch Staff.

Mu Wenshou was in the east and Ma Degong was in the north, blocking the way for the Xiaoqiang Brigade to develop in these two directions.

Mu Wenshou's men rode in steps, and Ma Degong rode in 3,000 steps, so he naturally did not dare to take the initiative to go south or west to seek the Xiaoqiang brigade, but it was still possible to choke the choke point and find some trouble for the Xiaoqiang brigade from time to time.

......

Two days later, an incense was opened from Nanzhao County

Contingent.

At this time, the news that the former Commander Si Taiji and the Buddhist Ombu were one of the generals under the command of the Xiaoqiang Brigade had been transmitted to the Yamen of the Governor of Henan, Ruzhou Mansion, Henan Mansion, and Kaifeng Mansion.

Therefore, as a believer in Buddhism, it is natural to go to Manjushri Temple to make incense.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Omubu still brought a hundred guards, all from the mountain camp that had just been trained for a few days, and these 100 people were wearing cloth armor and a robe on the outside, and they either carried or carried the grain, sesame oil, etc., which were to be offered to Manjushri Monastery.

Oumubu sent someone to inform the host of Wenshu Temple in advance, the last time Long Xiaohu saw Pukong, but the old monk didn't seem to be enthusiastic about him when Xiaohu visited Pukong last time, but he was reluctant to perfunctory him based on the prestige of Xiaoqianglu.

However, Puxuan, a monk who greeted him at the mountain gate, was very enthusiastic about him.

Omubu's plan is very simple, since he thinks that Manjushri Temple is suspicious, then he will go and investigate it generously, if it is really Zhou Jiali's lair, his own incense team will encounter accidents halfway or in the temple, and then he will have a chance, at least a few people who know the inside story.

This is because, since he informed the Pukong host in advance, once he was attacked halfway, it means that Manjushri Temple must be related to Zhou Jiali, whether it is a monk or Zhou Jiali's people, they can't stay there, and they have to weigh it before planning the attack.

Of course, since he has made this plan, he is not without a backhand.

What is relatively beneficial to Omubu is that due to the scourge of Zhou Jiali, the places within a radius of dozens of miles are empty, and the places where it is easy to arrange secret sentinels have been fought over by both sides several times, and finally they simply give up, so in this case, it is still easy to arrange something secretly.

From the county seat of Nanzhao to the north, after walking about twenty miles along a mountain road beside a small river, there is an open valley, which was once a village, but now of course it is empty.

From here, turn northwest, and then walk ten miles along a deeper canyon is Manjushri Temple, compared to the road when you came, this canyon is more steep and deep, not to mention, if there are ambushes on the mountains on both sides, you have no place to hide if you throw some wood, stones or something. qs

But again, if Omubu and his party are attacked in this ten-mile-long canyon, it must be inseparable from Manjusri Temple, which has more than 100 monks, and there is only one way down the mountain.

A huge group of ancient temples built in the Tang Dynasty and has gone through thousands of years so far, how can it be said that it is so easy to abandon the old.

So, Omubu only hesitated a little and led people into this canyon.

They set out early in the morning, and since it was a mountain road and they were carrying a lot of things, it was already dusk when they arrived at the temple.

Everything went well, and I learned that the entire Nanyang Mansion is now in charge of the "garrison" of Nanzhao County, and Omubu personally came to worship the Buddha with gifts, and presided over Pukong, Zhike Puguang, and Protector Puxuan, and brought a group of monks to the mountain gate to greet them.

This time, Oumubu brought food, sesame oil, salt, vegetables and other urgently needed materials to the temple, and the temple was naturally grateful.

In the evening, the presiding officer Pukong also personally opened the altar to preach the Fa, which was actually prepared for Omubu alone, which made him very moved, who was also a Buddhist.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Omubu went down the mountain with the people.

On the way, a person who had been dressed as an Omubu pro-servant suddenly raised his head.

Dragon Thirteen!

It turned out that he had a simulator against the sky, and he was also mixed in the team of worshipping the mountain.

He is here, and Long Xiaoshi, the leader of the Investigation Department, is obviously also there.

"How?"

This is what Long Thirteen asked Omubu.

Omubu thought for a moment and said, "The monastery covers a very large area, almost twenty acres in size, and the courtyard is heavy, and there are thousands of people living in it, but there are only more than 100 monks in such a large courtyard, and there are almost no people in a radius of 30 miles of the temple in the last three years."

"Because of the appearance of Zhou Jiali, there is none

People dare to come here to play and enjoy incense, and they don't know where their daily consumption comes from."

"Among the more than 100 monks, according to my judgment, the monk who presided over Pukong and Zhike Puxuan was obviously a serious monk, but Puguang, who was the protector of the Dharma and presided over the Veda Temple, was obviously very suspicious.

"Most of the remaining monks living in the front courtyards have healthy and ruddy complexions, but the ones in the back are quite vegetable."

"I'm sure there must be bandits mixed in here, and the so-called Dharma Protector Pu Guang is obviously an impostor."

"Hmm", Long Thirteen looked at the surrounding mountains, at this time the spring has begun to be revealed, a touch of green appears in front of him from time to time, through the sky above a line of sky, the dazzle and heat of the sun are also faintly visible.

"Last night, I went out to investigate."

As soon as these words came out, he immediately startled Omubu, although he knew that the dragon thirteen martial arts were strong, and he had gone deep into the tiger's den alone many times, but in the dark night, it was the first time that a person went out to investigate in a different place where he was unknown to me or foe, but if there were three long and two short, he Omubu would not be able to eat and walk around.

How did he know that the Dragon Thirteen has simulators and two stunts, "Rebirth from the Fire" and "Insight", even if he unfortunately falls into the hands of the enemy, he can come back at any time, and he is almost immortal.

"This courtyard is made up of two three-entry courtyards, it is said that the first courtyard was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the second courtyard was built in the Song Dynasty, and it has been well preserved for a long time, and it has survived the wars of the Ten Kingdoms at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the end of the Song Dynasty, the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and it is because it is very effective."

"When I touched the backyard, I immediately smelled the smell of wine and meat, and although there was no light, I knew the smell as soon as I smelled it."

"Is this really a den of bandits?"

"It's not"

Hearing Long Thirteen say this, Omubu couldn't help but be puzzled.

Long Thirteen continued, "Except for the smell of wine and meat, all the lights in the backyard are off, and everyone is sleeping, if it is a bandit, how can there be such an honest person?"

"Maybe it's because I'm here?" , Long Xiaoshi said.

Long 13 shook his head, "Even if I wait, the backyard is still far from the front yard, not to mention that the backyard is close to the mountain wall, and the mountain wind blows from the open place of the front yard, and any smell can only be transmitted from the front yard to the backyard, it is impossible to pass from the backyard to the front yard, the bandits have been hovering in the mountains for a long time, how can they not know this?"

"I touched every courtyard, except for the Vedic Palace, which was guarded, the other courtyards were silent."

Omubu seemed to understand something, "Then the problem is with the Dharma Protector Puguang?"

Long Thirteen nodded first, and then shook his head, "You can say that, but it's not like it, this is a practitioner at a glance, and he does have martial arts, everyone else is asleep, only he and a few apprentices are still stationed in the Veda Palace, and before going to sleep, he also punched for a while in the courtyard in front of the Veda Palace."

"His boxing technique is indeed from Buddhism's boxing skills, if my guess is correct, this person should be from Shaolin Temple, so it is also Wei Tuo boxing."

"Most of his disciples also know the martial arts of Buddhism, and they also meditate and chant scriptures, I really can't imagine that these people will be bandits."

"I've checked carefully, there are a total of eighteen such people, including Pu Guang, it is estimated that they borrowed the name of 'Eighteen Arhats', but I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the temple on the mountain near Nanyang Mansion."
