Chapter 59, the four are empty
Shen Yuan said lightly, and then continued to concentrate and ponder, his always calm and indifferent eyes rarely showed a look of confusion.
Bai Qiurui looked at his appearance, his serious and confused face, and suddenly felt that Shen Yuan was particularly docile and cute.
Like an ignorant little wolf cub, the person watching wanted to reach out and pinch his face.
"Why don't we go out and have a look?"
At the moment, no one is in the meditation room, so it's a good opportunity to go out and check it out.
Bai Qiurui thought that Shen Yuan would agree with her proposal to go out and have a look first, but she didn't expect the other party to turn a deaf ear and think about that person's voice with a frown.
Seeing this, she had no choice but to plan to take a look for herself, so as not to hinder Shen Yuan's train of thought.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Qiurui walked into the inner room of the meditation room.
I didn't look carefully before, but now standing in the inner room of this meditation room, I saw that this meditation room was quite orderly, revealing exquisite and chic everywhere, and nine times out of ten it was the abbot's room.
There are landscape paintings hanging on the wall, looking at the extraordinary artistic conception, the incense burner of purple gold, and the Maitreya Buddha ornaments of green jade.
Well, this Nanyue Temple looks like incense and cold, and pilgrims are scarce. I don't know if I don't see this, it turns out that in private, this abbot is still a proper rich man.
Don't they all say that Buddhism pays attention to the four major emptiness?
This purple gold incense burner, green jade Buddha ornaments, which one is not expensive.
This is a rich man worthy of the name!
As soon as she thought of this, Bai Qiurui remembered her life in her previous life.
The wallet is empty, the bank card is empty, Weixin is empty, and the branch is empty, so it is called a big empty one!
After looking at the overall room layout, Bai Qiurui focused on the only table in the room.
Usually important objects are placed in the inner room, and the outer room is usually used to entertain guests, and the abbot would not have thought that someone would appear in his meditation room without noticing.
So, Bai Qiurui went straight to the table and took the lead in inspecting the row of drawers on the table.
When I opened the top one, I saw that there were many small porcelain vases inside. Thinking of the small porcelain bottle that the distinguished guest gave to the abbot before, Bai Qiurui's heart moved, and she immediately took a bottle and uncorked it.
A faint fragrance wafted out, and Bai Qiurui was in a trance for a moment when she first heard her senses.
She shook her head, and when she looked again, the porcelain bottle was already empty, thinking that the medicine inside had been used up before it was stored here.
Closing the cork, Bai Qiurui directly stuffed the empty bottle into her sleeve, and then continued to rummage through the next drawer.
When she pulled the second one, the contents made Bai Qiurui gasp.
I saw that the drawer was full of rice paper materials, and what caught her eye on the top was the words 'Immortal Pill'.
Bai Qiurui's head was stunned for a moment, she blinked, she was stunned for two seconds before she reacted, and immediately reached out and picked up the paper with the words Immortal Pill written on it and began to flip through it.
At this moment, Shen Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and he also walked out of the stone room and came to Bai Qiurui's side.
"What did you find?"
Bai Qiurui's expression at Shen Yuan seemed to be much more solemn than before, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
Facing Shen Yuan's inquiry, Bai Qiurui handed him the paper in his hand: "It seems that my guess is correct." ”
Shen Yuan was also shocked when he saw the words on the paper, and reached out to take it and began to check it, while Bai Qiurui continued to rummage through other things.
She has extraordinary confidence in Shen Yuan's ability, not only because he is described in the original book as having a very strong ability to handle cases, but also because of such a long period of contact that she has such a judgment.
The remaining drawers had nothing of value, but Bai Qiurui flipped through a few indescribable pictures and texts, directly looked at her red-faced, and resolutely stuffed it back.
By the time she opened the last drawer, Shen Yuan had already finished reading the contents of the paper in her hand.
Bai Qiurui was curious about whether there was more detailed information in the last drawer, only to see that when she opened it, the top was a scripture book.
And hidden under this book are two letters.
Bai Qiurui's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out the two letters from under the scriptures.
Just as he was about to open it to take a look, Shen Yuan suddenly said, "Hurry up, he's back." ”
Before the words fell, Bai Qiurui also heard some subtle footsteps.
In an instant, she immediately put the paper in Shen Yuan's hand back into the drawer, and at the same time put the letter into her sleeve and closed the drawer.
This series of actions went smoothly, and after doing it, Shen Yuan grabbed her arm, and the two quickly hid back in the stone room.
As soon as the two of them hid, the abbot had already appeared in front of the door in the next second.
Bai Qiurui wanted to look at it for a while, but Shen Yuan suddenly proposed to leave first.
"Have you figured out who that guest is?"
Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan, she felt that Shen Yuan's expression was unusually solemn now, or when he walked from the stone room to the inner room, his expression was already ugly.
Shen Yuan didn't give Bai Qiurui a definite answer, he just said silently: "I hope what I think is wrong." ”
In this situation, Bai Qiurui naturally listened to Shen Yuan, and even followed him back the same way.
Shen Yuan's direction was very good, and he still knew how to go back after walking through the passage, Bai Qiurui was happy and followed him all the way back to the mouth of the four intersections.
The monk who was stunned by Shen Yuan's hand knife had not woken up yet, and he didn't know if Shen Yuan's strength was too strong, or if the poor monk's body was too weak.
Just as Bai Qiurui was silent for this poor man for a second, Shen Yuan had already walked up to him and kicked him.
The monk was kicked awake in a daze, and he couldn't figure out the situation, holding his neck and gasping for breath.
When he suddenly remembered what happened before, he was startled when he saw Shen Yuan's extremely ugly face, and immediately began to beg for mercy.
Shen Yuan didn't say anything about this, but said coldly: "How can you get out here quickly." ”
"Huh? Are you going to get out of here? It's the fastest way to get out of the abbot's meditation room. ”
The monk couldn't figure out the situation, and touched his shiny bald head in confusion.
"The abbot is coming this way, and I want you to avoid him and take us out."
Bai Qiurui looked at Shen Yuan, he seemed to be very eager to go out now, the time was not right now, and it was not easy for her to ask him what was wrong.
Fortunately, the monk was a timid and obedient person, so he agreed at that time, stretched out his hand and pointed to a passage and took Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan to hide in.
"This passage leads to a stone chamber for storage, which the abbot would not normally come over."
The monk followed and hid in the passage, and after whispering his explanation, he saw the abbot walking briskly towards the way they had come.
"Looking at this abbot's brisk steps, it seems that he is going to do something." Bai Qiurui looked at the other party's disappearing figure and said.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Yuan, the other party's face never relaxed, and when she heard what Bai Qiurui said, it became more and more heavy.
Yes, the monk led them back into the abbot's meditation room and walked out directly.
"This is the abbot's meditation room, and it is not far from the gate of the temple when you go out."
Standing in the abbot's room, the monk seemed not at all afraid of being discovered.
Bai Qiurui said curiously: "You just entered the abbot's meditation room without any scruples, not afraid of being discovered?" ”
At this time, I saw that the other party remembered and said: "At this time, there is no one else outside, and they have all gone to the back mountain." ”
Bai Qiurui nodded: "I see." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yuan slammed the monk to the ground with another hand knife, and this time he didn't move him to the ground and let him lie on the bluestone floor.
"Hiss......"
Bai Qiurui looked at the pain for him, and shrank as if she was holding her neck with feeling.
Shen Yuan looked at the quirky little woman beside him, and his frowning brows relaxed slightly: "Don't make trouble, leave first." ”
Bai Qiurui blinked and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Shen Yuan didn't elaborate, pulled her and ran out, and only gave Bai Qiurui a sentence: "The people in the underground secret room are all experimental specimens of the elixir of immortality, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." ”
The amount of information in this sentence was too large, and Bai Qiurui couldn't digest it for a while, and while she was thinking about the meaning of Shen Yuan's words, she was dragged away by the man.
The timid monk was right, there were no other monks except the meditation room.
Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan ran all the way to the gate of the temple, only to see only two monks guarding outside the door.
The two glanced at each other, and walked out side by side pretending to be guests of the incense.
The two people at the door looked at them suspiciously, and finally didn't say anything, and Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan were able to get out.
Walking out of the gate of the temple, Bai Qiurui breathed a long sigh of relief, but before he had time to praise the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he suddenly heard a lot of movement behind him.
"Quick, catch them, don't let them run!"
I saw a white-robed monk led by the temple rushing out of the temple gate in a hurry, followed by more than a dozen gray-clothed monks behind him, and the white-robed monk pointed to Shen Yuan and Bai Qiurui not far away and shouted.
"They're in the back mountain, catch them!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two monks at the gate changed, and a group of people rushed out of the temple together, chasing straight after Shen Yuan and Bai Qiurui.
"Run."
Shen Yuan spoke coldly, and then pulled Bai Qiurui and started to run.
The steps in front of Nanyue Temple have become the biggest obstacle at this moment, but fortunately, Shen Yuan has been holding Bai Qiurui's hand, so that she can keep up with the pace all the way.
"How did they find out so quickly?"
Bai Qiurui gasped and ran away while gasping and asked Shen Yuan.
At this moment, Shen Yuan was walking like flying, pulling Bai Qiurui and still moving quickly and agilely, his face was not red and he was not panting.
Hearing Bai Qiurui's words, he could still calmly reply: "There are people watching in the dark of the temple. ”
Sure enough, it's a man, and he runs faster than a woman.
Even if Bai Qiurui is dressed as a man now, her clothes are still slim and easy to run, but she is still far behind in front of Shen Yuan.
In her previous life, Bai Qiurui was not a person who liked sports, and in this time and space, her current body was not as rough as her in her previous life.
It wasn't until she was about to finish the 10,000 steps that Bai Qiurui felt that she was about to suffocate to death from lack of oxygen, that Shen Yuan spoke.
"Hold on, run down the steps, and someone will answer it."
At this moment, nothing made Bai Qiurui happier than this sentence, and she listened to Shen Yuan's voice like a heavenly sound.
Immediately, she cheered up and took out the strength to eat milk and ran down.
The monks behind him were obviously more skilled in going up and down the stairs than them, and the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, and Bai Qiurui was already gritting her teeth and running for her life when she heard the movement behind her.
Then, as she ran rapidly, she saw the familiar clothes at the bottom of the steps.
A line of orderly guards of the Criminal Department was ready to go, and Bai Qiurui almost cried happily.
The guards of the Criminal Department below also saw Shen Yuan and Bai Qiurui, and one of the guards led by him immediately spoke: "My lord." ”
At the last moment, Shen Yuan and Bai Qiurui rushed down, and the monks behind them also rushed down.
By the time they saw the rows of guards below, they were dumbfounded.
If you want to go back, it's not that easy.
"Catch them, and don't let them go."
Shen Yuan gave an order, and the guards trained behind him rushed forward, everyone held knives in their hands, and they had already restrained all of them in the blink of an eye.
The white-robed monk at the beginning saw that the situation was not right, and wanted to flee back to the temple, but fortunately, the guards led by him found that he kicked the person to the ground and tied the white-robed monk into a dumpling in three or two strokes.
"Be honest, don't try to run."
After all the people were subdued, the guard walked up to Shen Yuan's side: "My lord, these monks have all been caught, do you want to bring them back to the Criminal Department?" ”
Shen Yuan nodded, and then asked about Gu Yi's situation.
The guard replied respectfully: "Gu Gongzi has successfully rescued the eldest lady of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the suspect has also been put in prison. ”
Bai Qiurui has been out of breath since she ran all the way down, her pretty face was flushed, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
Panting wildly with her hands on her waist, Bai Qiurui felt that her lungs and throat were scorching pain, and she could smell rust between wheezing.
She only cared about resting, and her ears barely listened to Shen Yuan and his guards explain various matters, and listened to the meaning of the words, which was to let all the people from the Criminal Department go up the mountain and take Nanyue Temple to a nest.
When everyone went up the mountain, only four guards were left on standby, and Bai Qiurui had reached the limit.
She sat down on the ground at once, ignoring her image, and ran until her trembling legs finally got a rest.
"Good physical strength."
Shen Yuan took the kettle handed to him by the guards beside him, walked over to Bai Qiurui and handed it to her.
That's not bad?!
Bai Qiurui propped her hands on the ground, looking at Shen Yuan's face with a light smile, and couldn't tell for a while whether this man was praising her or belittling her.
"Lord Shen looks at me like this, is my physical strength good?"
Bai Qiurui glanced at him angrily, reached out and took the kettle and took a sip.
She couldn't drink a lot of water after a strenuous run, so she just took a shallow sip to moisten her throat. The warm and sweet water entered his throat, and Bai Qiurui's throat was much better.
After she finished speaking, Shen Yuan said seriously: "An ordinary woman has fainted when she runs like this." ”
Bai Qiurui: ......
"Co-author, is Lord Shen expecting me to faint too?"
Bai Qiurui began to suspect that the man was holding her hand and running at the beginning, not only so that she could run faster, but also to prevent her from fainting directly on the way.
