I have to say that there is a lot of space for the construction of this underground chamber in the mountain behind Nanyue Temple, and there are not only many stone chambers in it, but also various winding paths leading to various places.

And the abbot of Nanyue Temple seems to be very relieved about this secret room, and in this large underground secret room, only a few monks will occasionally patrol and pass by.

Bai Qiurui followed behind Shen Yuan, and the two of them avoided the monks who had patrolled twice along the way, and chased the two abbots to a special stone room.

It's not entirely true to say it's a stone chamber.

In terms of overall building appearance, it actually looks more like an unfinished stone cave.

Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan hid in a blind corner, Bai Qiurui glanced quietly, and saw that one of the two people walking in front was wearing a white monk's robe, and the other was wearing a robe.

This one can tell which is the abbot and which is the monk.

At this moment, the two of them were standing in front of the stone cave, and when they saw the abbot stretching out his hand and pressing something on the stone wall, the originally good stone face suddenly trembled.

Then, a stone door slowly opened, revealing a smooth passage inside.

There is also a secret passage built in the secret room of the mountain behind this temple?

It's almost time for the royal treasury.

Bai Qiurui rolled her eyes silently, complaining intently, and at the same time thinking, with such a strict design, what does this abbot of Nanyue Temple want to do?

Thinking of the unconscious boys and girls in the stone room before, Bai Qiurui had a bad premonition.

"Are you ready? Don't keep your guests waiting. ”

I saw the abbot step into the secret passage, and asked the white-robed monk who followed him as he walked.

"Rest assured, the abbot is ready to pick up at any time."

After receiving the answer from the monk next to him, the abbot said a satisfactory 'um', and the two immediately stopped talking, and the figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the secret passage.

Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan beside him and motioned for him to follow up. After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuan nodded decisively to confirm that he was chasing over.

The two tacitly did not make a sound, and quickly dodged and followed in while the secret door was not closed.

Just as they entered the secret passage, the secret door suddenly closed, as if the original secret passage no longer existed, and from this huge underground secret room was a complete stone wall.

Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan walked side by side in the secret passage, and for the first time in her life, she entered the ancient secret passage, and she looked around curiously.

This secret passage is very spacious enough to accommodate two people walking side by side, and the construction around it must have taken a lot of effort and was built very carefully.

The first two people to enter the secret passage were no longer sound, and Bai Qiurui didn't know if the secret passage was built for a short time and arrived at the place soon, or if the secret passage was built too long and there was a fork in the middle.

If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, you may not know how to get out if you take the wrong road.

However, this is how coincidental it is.

When Bai Qiurui saw that there were two secret passages in front of her, one left and one right, she regretted and almost slapped herself.

She really is a crow's mouth, and she wants to do whatever she wants.

Some wanted to cry without tears, Bai Qiurui asked Lord Shen with some grievances: "Now, how should I go?" ”

Shen Yuan stood in the secret passages at the two forks and listened for a while, and after a moment, turned his head to the one on the left.

"Go left."

Bai Qiurui said curiously: "Did you hear footsteps?" ”

Shen Yuan nodded and glanced at her approvingly.

Envy that Shen Yuan's ears were so sharp, Bai Qiurui followed him into the passage on the left with peace of mind.

I thought that I could catch up with the abbot directly, but what I didn't want to greet the two was another secret passage with four separate paths.

Bai Qiurui was a little helpless, she suspected that the monks of Nanyue Temple might all be rats, and even if they cultivated secret passages in the underground secret room, they actually cultivated many in one go.

Shen Yuan once again used the benefits of his ear power, and finally chose to move on.

Bai Qiurui naturally didn't think about it so much, and walked forward with him without hesitation.

Who knows, just after taking two steps, Shen Yuan suddenly paused, and his expression changed.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui immediately asked him what had happened and what movement he had heard.

Shen Yuan distinguished for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "Someone is coming towards us." ”

Such news is definitely not good news in this closed secret passage now, and Bai Qiurui almost had the urge to cry for a moment.

In a flash of light, she immediately asked, "Is there someone coming from the road ahead?" ”

Seeing Shen Yuan nodding, she pulled Shen Yuan and retreated to the first fork in the road.

Randomly found one to hide, Bai Qiurui whispered: "Hide first and see which way he is going to go." ”

Holding his breath and concentrating, after a while, there was indeed a figure walking in the secret passage in front of him. The other party was dressed in gray monk's robes, neither the white-robed monk nor the abbot before.

I saw that the monk paused at the fork for a moment, and then walked towards the secret passage where Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan were hiding.

Bai Qiurui wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, she was really lucky, she chose a random cave to hide in and won the lottery.

Shen Yuan watched the monk come step by step, he had already gathered his breath and was ready to go.

At the moment when the monk turned around and looked up at him, Shen Yuan quickly made a move.

He covered the other party's mouth with his left hand, and at the same time grabbed the monk's shoulder with his right hand, directly subduing him and kneeling on the ground and unable to move.

Bai Qiurui heard the monk snort, looking at her and Shen Yuan with shock and disbelief in his eyes.

It seems that he can't figure out how the secret passage that he has been walking for several years can suddenly appear here.

"Don't make a noise if you don't want to die, or I'll kill you right away."

Shen Yuan spoke coldly in the monk's ear, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, the killing aura created by his body all the year round was very terrifying.

Just let him have enough momentum to say such a threatening word, and the temperament on his body is very good.

It doesn't look like a court official, but more like the leader of an assassination organization who kills people without blinking.

The subdued monk was probably frightened by Shen Yuan's momentum, a trace of panic and fear flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded honestly.

When he saw Shen Yuan's face clearly, the monk became more and more frightened.

In his opinion, the current Shen Yuan was expressionless, his expression was indifferent, and his emotionless eyes looked at himself as if he was looking at a dead person.

It's just a killing machine with no emotion.

Then, he was afraid that Shen Yuan would really kill himself and nodded frantically to ensure that he would not make a sound.

Looking at him like this, Shen Yuan's years of experience told him that this monk was timid and did not dare to disobey his orders, so he let go of his mouth.

"I'll ask you a few questions, and you answer them truthfully."

Shen Yuan opened his mouth coldly, and the monk nodded tremblingly, and said a small 'oh'.

Looking at his full desire to survive, Bai Qiurui felt a little funny inexplicably.

Then, he only heard Shen Yuan open his mouth and ask him, "What is this underground secret room in the mountain behind Nanyue Temple for?" ”

"I ...... I don't know ...... either."

The monk stammered in reply, first saying that he didn't know, and then he sincerely said that he only knew that there were many coffins in the secret room, but he had never seen what was inside.

Seeing this, Bai Qiurui said coolly: "The coffin must be filled with dead people, otherwise the master said, what else can be contained in it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the monk trembled with fright, and his expression was about to cry.

"Auntie...... The girl spared her life, I really don't know if it's a dead person or what, these are usually the responsibility of a special person, I'm just a little novice who pours tea and water next to the abbot, I really don't know the secrets. ”

After the monk finished speaking, Shen Yuan suddenly spoke: "The person you said is in charge, are you the monks wearing white robes?" ”

Before the words fell, the monk nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes, that's right, the senior brothers in white robes are in charge." ”

"Then you're going to serve tea to the abbot?" Bai Qiurui quickly caught what the monk said and asked.

As a result, the monk shook his head, and he told Bai Qiurui seriously.

It was the abbot who was now receiving the distinguished guests, so he asked him to go down first and not to disturb the conversation with the distinguished guests.

Shen Yuan asked him again who the distinguished guest was, and the monk looked confused.

"I only know that he is an important minister in the court, and his identity is unknown."

Hearing that the distinguished guest received by the abbot was an official of the imperial court, Shen Yuan and Bai Qiurui were a little surprised.

Seeing that he couldn't ask for anything else valuable from the monk's mouth, Shen Yuan slammed the person to the ground with a knife in his hand.

Bai Qiurui watched the person fall to the ground softly, and suddenly felt a little pain in her neck.

She saw that Shen Yuan's movements were skillful, and she was familiar with dragging the stunned monk to the secret passage on the side, and suddenly found that the man who seemed to be cold and indifferent on weekdays had the powerful side of her boyfriend now.

I can't help but feel that Shen Yuan like this looks a little better than usual, and he has a domineering boyfriend atmosphere out of thin air.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan too engrossedly, and it wasn't until Shen Yuan was about to continue walking forward with her that she found that the little woman in front of her seemed to be distracted.

He couldn't laugh or cry, and for a while he didn't know whether to blame the little woman for having a big heart, or whether he should think that the little woman felt safe to follow him, so she was so unscrupulously distracted.

When she came back to her senses, Bai Qiurui almost wiped the non-existent saliva at the corner of her mouth and said, 'Brother is so handsome', and quickly straightened his expression and said perfunctorily that he was fine.

According to the monks, the road ahead leads to a meditation room, where the abbot receives distinguished guests.

Without further ado, Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan immediately walked towards the target location.

After walking for about ten minutes, the two finally saw the end of this secret passage.

At the end of the secret passage was a delicate carved mahogany door, through which bright light came in.

In order to prevent alarming people, Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan both kept their steps very light.

The two quietly walked to the door, only to see one door separated by two completely different environments.

Inside the door is a cold and dark secret stone room, and outside the door is connected to a meditation room.

Bai Qiurui saw Shen Yuan beside him listening silently for a moment, and then got up and prepared to enter the meditation room to have a look.

Judging from his movements, there should be no one in the meditation room now.

This made Bai Qiurui a little disappointed, and wondered in his heart whether they were delaying the time, and the abbot and the distinguished guest of the court had already left.

Shen Yuan had already stepped into the meditation room, and Bai Qiurui was about to go out to have a look, but in the next second, he only heard a crisp 'click' sound.

Through the cyan curtain and a screen, the door of the outer meditation room was opened from the outside.

Shen Yuan moved quickly, and a dodge returned to the stone room.

"Your Excellency, please."

A familiar voice rang out, and the door to the meditation room was pushed open.

The abbot in a robe was respectfully inviting someone to enter the door, listening to the other party's tone and attitude, Bai Qiurui guessed that it should be the distinguished guest.

"Your Excellency has already gone to see those goods, do you think there is anything you are not satisfied with?"

After some greetings, the abbot led a man to sit down in the outer room of the meditation room, and Bai Qiurui couldn't see the appearance of the distinguished guest through the curtain and screen, and could only vaguely see the other party wearing a green coat and tied his hair.

From the moment he entered, the abbot was speaking alone, and the man he respectfully invited in was silent from beginning to end.

Then, the small sound of teacups and porcelain sounded in the meditation room, presumably the abbot poured a cup of tea for the other party.

Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan watched silently, and the figure outside picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

"Well done, I'll pick up the goods in three days."

A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and the tone was so cold that he couldn't hear anything, and it was difficult to tell the age of the other party.

Bai Qiurui's first feeling was that this person should be a little older, after all, as an important minister of the imperial court, there were few people who would be as young and promising as Shen Yuan.

Most of them are old and have some qualifications, and Shen Yuan's situation is not uncommon, but a rare existence.

It's just that I don't know now, what is the goods in these two mouths?

It's the people in the chambers, or the gunpowder.

And what does the other party want these things to do?

In this time and space, if you really need so many people, you can buy and sell slaves directly, and you really can't afford to catch people secretly.

If it's gunpowder, what does the other party want to do with this, or does it want to blow it up?

The other party is an important minister in the DPRK, what can you blow up when you buy gunpowder?

Could it be that you are going to bomb the emperor?

The more Bai Qiurui thought about it, the more outrageous she felt, she felt that these thoughts were out of tune, and her thoughts were about to run to the edge of the sky.

"If you are satisfied, my lord, then the medicine you promised ......"

When the abbot outside the meditation room saw that the guest was satisfied, he immediately smiled, and then he had some reminders that he wanted to say goodbye.

Before he finished speaking, he saw the distinguished guest laugh strangely and said, "Don't worry, your things are indispensable." ”

After that, the distinguished guest took out a small white porcelain vase from his sleeve and handed it to the abbot, who took it with great gratitude.

"You prepare in advance, my goods cannot be lost."

With the last sentence left, the distinguished guest brushed his sleeves away, and the abbot followed him to get up and see him off.

The two walked out of the meditation room one after the other, leaving only Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan who were eavesdropping in the inner room.

Bai Qiurui confirmed that the two were leaving, she stood up straight and was about to go out to have a look, but when she turned her head, she found that Shen Yuan was silently thinking about something.

"That man's voice is very familiar."
