At the top of the mountain, a temple appeared in front of me, and two middle-aged men were sitting at the door, leaning against the door to rest. Chang Qiaozi said: "This is Hoshino Shrine, the presiding monk Faru and I met, I will go and inform you, you two will wait a moment." Then he entered the gate.

Ye Suiyun's heart always lingered with a lingering strangeness, and he felt that someone was staring at him. Tang Xiyao was still pretending to be angry about what happened just now, and deliberately didn't speak. At this time, a burst of mournful crying was heard, which seemed to come from inside the shrine, and the two looked inside at the same time. But he saw Chang Qiaozi leading an old monk out and said to the two: "This is the presiding Faru Zen master." Ye Suiyun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Fa Ru Heten said: "Listening to what the chief donor said, the two of them came here on the behalf. ”

"Exactly, we are here to help a friend retrieve an item that was left at the shrine many years ago, and please make it easier for the host. Oh, by the way, the person who entrusted us is named Granny Xiang, who has lived in your temple for a while. "Ye Suiyun said.

Fa Ru thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Please forgive the old man for being stupid, I really can't remember that there was such a benefactor living in the temple." ”

Ye Suiyun leaned in and whispered: "She said that she is the princess of Sri Buddha's deceased country, and she was shipwrecked here. ”

Fa Ru was stunned for a moment, then he woke up like a dream, and said continuously: "Oh, remember, remember, there are already more than a dozen. No.. No, it's been almost twenty years. Speaking of this, he seemed a little puzzled, and said: "This princess was greeted by the eight sedan chairs back then, and it is said that she entered the palace, how did she think that something was left here after all these years?" ”

Ye Suiyun thought that this matter could not be explained in one sentence, so he only said: "I don't know about this, please be accommodating." ”

Fa Ru said: "This is nature, two donors, please come in." "Let's go in first.

Tang Xiyao followed closely, constantly looking around, and asked, "Master, you look like a temple here and specious, and the building specifications are quite cramped and cramped, why is this?" ”

Fa Ru replied: "The little donor doesn't know, this place is called a shrine, which is slightly different from the Central Plains Buddhist Temple, although it is built from the worship of the Buddha and gods, but it is mainly built in accordance with the tradition of the East Ei Japan. Tang Xiyao said: "Is it because most of the people who come here are Japanese people?" Faru smiled and nodded.

When I entered the front yard of the shrine, I suddenly heard someone say: "Ye Suiyun, you are finally here, why have you been delayed for so long." Several people couldn't help but stop and look, the person who spoke was sitting on a stone machine, holding a cup of tea in his left hand, waving a fan in his right hand, and his expression was leisurely, it turned out to be Li Fu.

Ye Suiyun saw that it was him, he was angry, and was about to open his mouth to scold, Li Fu raised his palm, signaled to him not to be impatient, and said to Fa Ru and the three people: "Please wait a while, I will catch up with my old friends." After speaking, he pulled Ye Suiyun to the back of an attic, looked around and saw that there was no one, and then said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

Ye Suiyun shook off his hand and said, "Let me ask you, did you know that the Twelve Docks would rob the ship halfway, so you specially arranged for me and Tang Xiyao to take Jia Gong's ship." ”

Li Fu looked innocent and said: "This is really wronged, I put Liu Yang at the beginning... Oh, no, it should be said that it is You Chizuru. I arranged you all on the Jia Gong boat, and my original intention was just to have you on the boat, even if you encounter a thief or thief, you can protect him. Who would have thought that your bad luck was really unexpected, and you were hit by the Twelve Docks. ”

Ye Suiyun stared at Li Fu, his eyes were blazing, and he shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, you don't want to lie to me, the itinerary of the passenger ship will inevitably pass through Qutang Gorge, you will not expect the danger?" ”

Li Fu couldn't help it, and said: "Okay, I admit it, I did get the news beforehand, the White Emperor City is secretly looking for You Lao, but now that he has been hidden in the rivers and lakes for twenty years, how can he easily reveal his identity, so I think the possibility of him being caught by the Twelve Serial Docks is very small, hey... Who would have thought that he would even wear a pseudonym with makeup... But still... It's really a hundred secrets, so dangerous, so dangerous. Ye Suiyun recalled that day, You Qianhe was indeed not recognized, and it was only because Cao Gaisi threatened to kill everyone on the boat that he took the initiative to show up.

Li Fu said and laughed: "Anyway, it's all over, look at you, aren't you all out of danger." You Lao has also returned to his hometown in Shuzhong, so everyone is happy, this is all thanks to you. As he spoke, he patted Ye Suiyun on the shoulder again and again.

Ye Suiyun was still angry: "You said it easily, Miss Tang and I almost didn't get out of White Emperor City." If it weren't for Gong Ao, this person wouldn't be as legendary。。。。。。 Speaking of this, Ye Suiyun suddenly stopped, Ye Suiyun seemed to think of something, looked at Li Fu suspiciously, and asked: "This whole thing can't be deliberately arranged by you, in order to borrow my hand to get rid of Brother Yuwen." ”

Li Fu was stunned at first, and said with a dumb smile: "You and I have known each other, and I won't hide it from you." If you were to be stopped and captured by the White Emperor City on the way, I had already expected it in advance. After You Qianhe is imprisoned, you will rescue him, I can guess this, but if you dare to kill Brother Yuwen openly, I don't believe anything, that's not your style. How could I have arranged that? Ye Suiyun listened to what he said sincerely, and then thought that the last battle with the Yuwen brothers was indeed unexpected, so his suspicions eased slightly.

Li Fu sighed: "It's really better to be a person than to be counted as a sky, twelve consecutive docks have dominated the Yangtze River for more than 20 years, and the people in the rivers and lakes are terrified, and even the Tiance Mansion regards it as a big trouble and is helpless." It was shattered by you, a fledgling boy, and it was gone. I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”

Ye Suiyun didn't want to talk more, and asked, "What are you doing here?" It won't be a special trip to wait for me. ”

Li Fu smiled: "That's right, but it's not to chat with you, but to ask for something." Don't be in a hurry to refuse, it's good to listen to my conditions and then decide. If Your Excellency helps me this time, I promise to help you find Nie Daxia's whereabouts with all my might, how about it? ”

Ye Suiyun, who was shaking his head, heard the last sentence, and immediately stopped the movement of his neck, thinking that Li Fu Youyin Yuan would help, but it was much more convenient than his headless flies, so he said: "Words count." What do you want me to do? ”

Li Fu smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm here to track down the two charts." Now that the whereabouts of the chart have been ascertained, all that remains is that I need you to help me get it back, how about it, isn't it very simple. ”

Ye Suiyun said in his heart that he was helping himself last time, but he almost took his life, but this time he said it simply, it was really a ghost and asked, "Where is it?" How to take it? ”

Li Fu smiled and said, "Someone will tell you how to act, I'll go first." Oh, let the people of the East Fence Village not rush to bury the body of Prince Anji, it is useful. With that, he jumped onto the wall.

Ye Suiyun was taken aback and asked, "How do you know about Prince Anji?" What does nautical charts have to do with him? Li Fu turned around and said, "Tell Master Faru that the tea this time is too bitter and tastes bad." As he spoke, the man disappeared behind the wall.

Ye Suiyun had no choice but to return to the front yard. The old monk Faru said: "It turns out that Master Ye also knows Li Gongzi, he is a frequent visitor to the shrine, and often sits with the old monk to discuss the law, dare to ask Li Gongzi what to explain when he leaves?" ”

"He said that the tea this time was bitter and not delicious." Ye Suiyun replied, and Faru couldn't help but be stunned. Ye Suiyun said again: "Master don't bother, please take us to the princess's residence." Monk Faru signaled: "Please come with me, and you can pass the worship hall in front." ”

When a few people walked through the worship hall, they saw a middle-aged woman kneeling on the ground in front of the hall, crying and burning a pot of yellow paper, and there was a little girl wearing an apricot-colored cotton jacket standing beside her, about four or five years old, with a blank expression. Ye Suiyun heard the words in the woman's mouth, as if she was paying tribute to someone, and glanced at Tang Xiyao, thinking that the crying sound she had just heard outside the door was from here.

Coming to a row of plain-looking houses, Fa Ru said: "The middle room is where the Nanyang princess lived, and the inside has already been cleaned, and there is nothing left. After saying that, he bowed and returned to the front hall. Chang Qiaozi said: "Anyway, I can't help, let's go to the front and wait." With that, he followed Faru and left.

Tang Xiyao walked towards the house first, Ye Suiyun followed behind, and suddenly a strange feeling hit his heart, and the feeling of being watched by someone reappeared. This time, Ye Suiyun didn't turn his head to look, but didn't move his expression and continued to move forward. He felt as if there were two people on the other side, and they were getting closer to him.

After walking a few more steps, Ye Suiyun's neck suddenly felt a little cold, as if something was crossing, he raised his arm like the wind, grabbed it back, and the whistling sound in his ears sounded, and his fingertips seemed to bring a corner of his clothes, and the strength in his hand did not stop, and he snorted softly, as if he had torn something, Ye Suiyun turned around suddenly, but saw that there was nothing behind him, and there was no one, and the discomfort of being watched and followed disappeared without a trace. He looked back, and there was a torn white cloth between his fingers.

Tang Xiyao heard the movement and turned around and said, "Brother Ye, what are you doing?" Seeing him standing in the courtyard with a piece of cloth in his hand, he said strangely: "What is this?" ”

Ye Suiyun didn't answer and asked, "Did you notice that there were other people here just now?" ”

Tang Xiyao didn't know why, looked around and said, "It's just you and me here, and there is no one else." Ye Suiyun nodded and said nothing, thinking that the feeling of being on his back had disappeared, no matter what followed him, it was no longer there.

When the two entered the house, they didn't rummage around, looked around the room, and after getting a little familiar, they followed Granny Xiang's instructions at the beginning, reached out and groped under the bed in the bedroom, and sure enough, they found that the innermost floor tile was slightly raised. Ye Suiyun's hand was forced, and there was a soft sound of the hammer, and the bricks were lifted. Take out a flat package from below, because of the age, the outer layer of the cloth can no longer see the original color.

Tang Xiyao took it and opened it, revealing a jade plate with gold silk satin, and a one-handed Buddha statue was printed on the cover, which was beautifully painted and could be seen to be of great value. When I opened it, I saw a lot of incomprehensible words written on it, only the last sentence was attached to a line of Chinese characters for comparison, which was written 'Princess Xiangxian Er under the throne of Simo of Sri Buddha's deceased country', and a square pattern was printed at the end, and the middle of the pattern seemed to be written in Li.

Tang Xiyao nodded and said, "That's right, that's it." Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "I got the golden book so easily, but it is not as difficult as Granny Xiang worried." Now that we have got the things, the next step is when to return to Baling County. Tang Xiyao said: "Don't worry, let's promise her to get back the golden book, but we didn't say when we would return it, why rush like this." After speaking, seeing Ye Suiyun's expression seemed a little uneasy, he said: "You can rest assured, I will not delay her big event, I have my own way to return it to her." ”

The two of them re-wrapped their things again, and as soon as they walked out of the house, they saw a person standing in the courtyard at some point. "That person has two swords on his back, it is Xiao Ning'er.

Xiao Ning'er's eyes fell on the cloth bag in Tang Xiyao's hand and asked, "What is this?" Ye Suiyun and the others felt that she appeared strangely, and they glanced at each other and did not answer. Who knew that Xiao Ning'er continued: "You have the golden book of the Nanyang princess in your hand?" ”

Ye Suiyun and Tang Xiyao couldn't help but wonder when they heard what she said, how could she know about the Golden Book. Xiao Ning'er looked at the expressions of the two of them, knew that she had guessed well, stretched out her hand, and said, "Give it to me." ”

Tang Xiyao got angry and said, "You can't say it, you want something when you come up, you should always make it clear, why give it to you." Xiao Ning'er snorted lightly, jumped over, and snatched the package.

Ye Suiyun shouted: "Wait, don't be busy. He moved and reached out to stop him. Xiao Ning'er cut Ye Suiyun's wrist with her right hand, and with her left hand, she grabbed the cloth bag without pause. Tang Xiyao didn't have time to dodge, and couldn't help but scream. Xiao Ning'er was overjoyed to hit her hand, and was just about to retreat, when she suddenly felt that her arm was sore, and it was difficult to lift half a point with the hand holding the cloth bag, so she couldn't help but let go, and the cloth bag returned to Tang Xiyao's hand, it turned out that she was hit by Ye Suiyun in the 'Yanggu' point of her right hand.

The three of them separated at dusk, the golden book was lost and lost, Xiao Ning'er was in a hurry, clicked, and the double swords were unsheathed and held in their hands. Ye Suiyun hurriedly said: "Don't do it yet, everyone knows each other, and it should always be explained." Why do you want to grab this thing? ”

Xiao Ning'er looked at Ye Suiyun for a long time, sighed lightly, and sent the sword back to its sheath, knowing that it would be difficult to grab things today no matter what, and said, "I have been back and forth many times, but my search has been fruitless. How did you find out at once, who told you about the book of gold? ”

Tang Xiyao didn't answer and said, "You tell us why you want to grab the gold book first, and when you finish speaking, I'll consider whether to tell you or not." ”

Xiao Ning'er snorted coldly and said, "I am entrusted by someone, but it is inconvenient to tell this person's identity. If you don't say it, I'm not interested in knowing. Finally, I would like to ask, what are you going to do when you get this thing? ”

Ye Suiyun said: "Of course, it is handed over to the person who entrusted it." ”

Xiao Ning'er said: "Who is that?" After asking, he saw that Ye Tang and the others were silent, knowing that they would not reveal it, so he didn't say anything more and turned away. Ye Suiyun saw that she was leaving, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Miss Xiao, have you been following us today?" ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Ning'er stopped.

"Have you been secretly with us ever since we landed on the island?" Ye Suiyun repeated.

Xiao Ning'er said proudly: "What I want, I will only get it openly, if I can't get it, I will never make a living secretly." Ye Suiyun, you are too underestimated. Ye Suiyun was speechless for a while, looking at Xiao Ning'er's departing back, secretly wondering if it wasn't her, where did the feeling of shadowing just now come from?

Tang Xiyao said: "Xiao Ning'er is in such a hurry to get the golden book, it's too strange. It stands to reason that there are only two people who know about this, and that is Granny Xiang and 。。。。。 ”

"Lingnu." Ye Suiyunqi said: "You mean, Xiao Ning'er was sent by the spirit slave?" This.. This.. Where to start? ”

"I think it's incredible, too." Tang Xiyao smiled: "Maybe it's because we're messing around, maybe there are other people who haven't shown up involved." Okay, don't think about it, you'll find out when you see her in the future. ”

When I returned to the worship hall again, I saw that the weeping mother and daughter were still there, and the monk Faru was holding Buddhist beads beside him, and his mouth seemed to be reciting scriptures. Seeing the two of them walking out, he stepped forward and said, "Can you two find what you are looking for?" ”

Tang Xiyao pretended to smile mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, the master must not say, and he must not say it." Faru smiled and saluted.

Ye Suiyun had been observing the sad mother and daughter, and then couldn't help asking: "Why is that sister-in-law so sad, is someone in the family dead?" ”

When Faru heard him ask, she let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "She is indeed mourning her relatives, but this person is still alive now, but she can't survive tonight." ”

The two of them listened to what he said strangely, and they were even more curious. Faru glanced back at the mother and daughter, and said, "She is paying tribute to the little girl standing by her side at this moment." ”
