Chapter 16: Lost Treasures, Everyone's Pursuit of the Murderer

Lu Bu dodged, two feather arrows swept across his cheeks and disappeared into the night.

Lu Bu broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that such a powerful mechanism was set up in this box.

Tried to touch the lock again, but there was no movement in the box.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the nunnery, and two family members who had just finished eating walked out under the leadership of Qi Shun.

Lu Bu quickly put the box back on the car.

"Brother Tang can go to eat first, tonight the younger brother and the other three people take turns to guard, if they haven't arrived at the Chuzhou Mansion tomorrow, it's not too late to have Brother Lao Tang." Qi Shun said.

In order not to be discovered by Qi Shun's curiosity, Lu Bu had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, insert the halberd, and strode up the steps.

Inside the gate, there was a narrow corridor, and the little nun named Miao Ling stood at the other end of the corridor, holding a simple oil lamp in her hand, helping Lu Bu light the way.

"The donor follows Xiao Ni closely, and must not go to the wrong place." Miao Ling lowered her head, her voice timid.

After passing through the main hall, we soon came to the courtyard on the back floor, which was probably dedicated to the pilgrims who came to worship the incense.

The yard was a bit of a mess, the gables weren't too high, there were signs of collapse in a few places, and the ground was covered with unkempt weeds.

The whole nunnery was a little scary.

Lu Bu's gaze scanned the courtyard, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

It's okay if the incense isn't strong, why don't you even clean up the yard? Moreover, the little nun said that her master was doing evening classes, why was there no one to see so many times?

"The donor is here." The little nun opened one of the doors.

"Where are the other brothers now?" Lu Bu asked.

"Xu was tired from walking, and after eating the meal prepared by Xiao Ni, he went to sleep." The little nun replied.

Lu Bu nodded.

The little nun lit a candle on the table.

The room was small and clean, with a thick quilt on a wooden bed, two plates of vegetables and a pot of tea already on the table.

"Xiao Ni knew that the donor and others came from afar, and they must be tired and hungry, so they temporarily prepared a vegetarian meal, which is not comparable to the official mansion of the capital, and asked the donor to rest early after eating, so as not to delay tomorrow's trip." The little nun still lowered her head slightly, and her expression looked a little shy.

Lu Bu was slightly surprised.

"How did the little master know that we were coming from the capital?"

The little nun's body shook slightly.

"Just now, when the listener was eating the benefactor, I accidentally mentioned it."

Lu Bu stared at her, smiling rather than smiling.

"That being the case, there is a little master Lao, please avoid it for the time being, and after the villain uses it, I will call you to come."

"Donor, please." The little nun agreed, and slowly withdrew with the oil lamp.

Lu Bu listened attentively.

Hearing her footsteps, he strode out and pushed open the door of another room.

It was pitch black in the room.

Lu Bu blinked vigorously, hoping to adapt to the darkness as soon as possible.

The setting in the room is the same as just now, a table and a bed, and a person is faintly visible lying on the bed.

Lu Bu walked over and gave him a gentle push.

The man didn't react.

Lu Bu quickly dodged out and entered another room.

The same scene recurred, and there was no reaction from the person lying on the bed.

After trying his snort, Lu Bu relieved himself, and it was obvious that none of these people died, but they just entered a coma.

Suddenly, Lu Bu jumped up and rushed to the courtyard in front of him.

Kicking open the gate, Lu Bu saw that the carriage was still there, and the war horses were also eating forage, as if nothing had happened.

Qi Shun and the other two sat under a car, as if they were asleep.

Lu Bu was not at ease, and hurriedly began to check the boxes on the car.

The box is gone.

Lu Bu drew his halberd, like a mad tiger, and crashed into the nunnery.

After searching the entire hall, and rummaging through the two meditation rooms, I didn't see the little nun again, only on the side of the corridor, I found the oil lamp that was still burning.

Apparently, she had just left.

Lu Bu was furious and wanted to tear down the entire nunnery.

Soon, he calmed down.

A whole dozen boxes, if it was just the little nun alone, it would be impossible to carry them in such a short time, there must be other people, and they were able to disappear so quickly, and they did not escape from the gate.

Now, the first thing to do is to wake up Qi Shun and the others who are in a coma.

Although Lu Bu didn't understand pharmacology, he also knew the truth of detoxification of clear water, so he found some cold water from the nunnery and poured it on Qi Shun and the others.

It didn't take long for Qi Shun to wake up.

"Brother Tang, what's the matter, are you going to hurry so soon?" Qi Shun glanced up at the dark sky, and seemed to be still immersed in sleep.

Lu Bu couldn't wait to slap this face a few times.

"If you lose the Zijin pot, you will be beheaded by Uncle Guo." After listening to Lu Bu, Qi Shun jumped up from the ground as if his butt had been bitten by something.

"Quickly, call the brethren to find you." Qi Shun shouted.

In the same way, they woke everyone up, and everyone searched in the nunnery again.

It can be said that except for the Buddha statues in the main hall, all the places have been searched, but nothing has been found.

Qi Shun was like a soulless walking corpse, constantly spinning in circles in the courtyard, his face was pale.

In order to keep the secret of this pot, Fei Yong did not hesitate to poison He Zhutou by himself, and took the risk of asking for an order in front of the emperor.

"The two head catchers are panicking, I see that there seems to be a mechanism here." Suddenly, a family member who followed him screamed in the main hall.

Lu Bu and Qi Shun rushed over at the same time.

Several statues in the main hall were covered with dust, and Lu Bu and the others didn't notice it at all just now.

All this shows that this should actually be a long-abandoned nunnery, but it was temporarily used by these thieves, otherwise it would not have prepared a vegetarian meal for more than a dozen people so quickly.

The man crouched underneath a Buddha statue, one hand groping for the massive base.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise, and then the Buddha statue moved on its own, slowly rotating half a circle, revealing a black hole in the base.

Qi Shun and Lu Bu glanced at each other.

"Go down." Qi Shun said.

Lu Bu pulled out his halberd and leaned over to get into it first.

The cave was very dark, and it could be felt that it was a step that extended downward, and Lu Bu slowly walked down with his hand on the damp wall beside him.

After walking for about ten meters, his feet fell on the flat ground, and the road became wider, and even four or five people walked side by side, and a cold wind blew from the front, carrying a very bad smell.

"Brother Tang, be careful." Behind him, I don't know who reminded him.

Lu Bu used a short halberd to explore the path in front of him, trying not to make a sound.

Was the construction of such a huge underground tunnel just to steal the treasures that he had escorted? How could they be so clear about the route their group had taken and the time they had arrived? What kind of good thing is the purple gold pot in Qi Shun's mouth?
