Chapter 548: A Huge Mystery
Han Sifu and her maidservant Lan Xiang did come to the Taoist temple that day, and then Lan Xiang was killed, the body was found on the Zhuangzi, and an arm was found in the lotus pond of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, and Han Sifu also disappeared on that day.
If she also had an accident, the place of the accident should be on the Taoist temple or Zhuangzi.
It's just that this Taoist temple has something to do with the Zhuangzi of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the two are just closer, that's all.
In response to this, Yan Duan and Liu Yunxiang couldn't figure it out, and after asking the little Taoist, the two sent him away, and continued to wander around the Taoist temple in order to find clues.
Walking to the backyard, they saw a bamboo forest, the bamboo in the forest is very densely planted, forming a natural barrier, I don't know if the bamboo forest is still a Taoist temple or something else.
In other places, the two of them went around, but they found nothing but this bamboo forest.
"There's a trail over there."
Liu Yunxiang took Yan Du and walked a few steps to the east, and sure enough, he saw a path paved with bluestone slabs, the path was very narrow, and only one person could pass through. Yan Dusk was in front, Liu Yunxiang followed behind, and the two walked towards the bamboo forest.
Entering a section, the dense forest covers the sky and the sun, and the shade is darkened below, and there is a feeling of winding paths.
After walking in for a while, he vaguely heard movement in the forest, Liu Yunxiang hadn't seen anything clearly, Yan Duan turned around and hugged her, took a few steps back, and then two thick bamboos fell.
Liu Yunxiang was shocked, "What's the matter?" ”
Yan Dui's eyes narrowed, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to go inside." ”
"Just someone?"
"The body is extremely fast, and the kung fu is very good."
Looking at the place where the bamboo was broken, it was clearly cut with a knife.
"You go to the front of the main hall and wait for me, and I'll go inside and take a look." Yan Du said.
"I'm with you!"
Yan Duan looked back at Liu Yunxiang and saw that she had a resolute look, and he was really worried about letting her go.
"Then follow me."
"Okay."
Liu Yunxiang simply pulled Yan Dui's sleeve, and the two stepped over the bamboo across the path and continued to walk inside. In fact, this bamboo forest is not deep, and after walking forward for a while, it will come to the end.
Outside, Huo Ran is cheerful, as if he has reached the top of the mountain, open on all sides, and there is a small courtyard not far away, but the courtyard gate is wide open.
"Somebody's going down the trail!" Liu Yunxiang pointed below.
Yan Du took Liu Yunxiang and hurriedly chased after him, but because they were too far apart, they could only see three figures, and the difference between men and women was not clear. They walked in a hurry, as if they had received a letter in advance, and deliberately avoided them.
The road led to the bottom of the mountain, and the two chased them all the way, turned a corner, and when they reached the river, the three of them became one, and this man was blocked by the river, and could not escape, and did not seem to want to escape.
He bent down and picked up a handful of water, washed his face, then shook his hand and turned around again.
Seeing this person's face, Yan Du and Liu Yunxiang were both taken aback.
It turned out to be Han Zicheng, the chief eunuch beside the emperor.
When Han Zicheng saw them, he pretended to be surprised, "Hey, the king of Zhenbei, the princess, and the slave are so fateful to the two of them, and they met in this mountain." ”
Yan Dui's heart turned, "Father-in-law alone? ”
Han Zicheng looked left and right, "Is there a ghost around the slave?" ”
"What is my father-in-law doing here?"
"Let's wash my face."
"Wash your face?"
"Your Highness doesn't know, this drinking water comes from a cave in Yunxia Mountain, first gathers in the Taoist temple, and then flows down. The water used in the Taoist temple to make fairy dew is this water, which is said to have the effect of eternal youth, so it is better for His Royal Highness and the princess to come and wash it. ”
This Han Zicheng had a smile on his face, it was obvious that he was making it up casually, and he was not afraid that they would not believe it, anyway, he would not break the law here.
"Father-in-law should be in the palace at this time, right?" Yan Du asked again.
"The emperor asked the servants to send offerings, if His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, you can enter the palace and ask the emperor."
Yan Dui's eyes were heavy, this Han Zicheng opened his eyes and brawned, but he didn't catch those two people just now, and he couldn't expose him at the moment.
"The slave has finished his errand, and then he will go back to the palace, and the two of you will walk slowly."
As he spoke, Han Zicheng walked down the river.
At this time, Yan Du and Liu Yunxiang remembered something at the same time, and ran towards the mountain together, and ran to the front of the courtyard, the door was still open, and the inside was empty.
"There might have been someone in there just now." Liu Yunxiang said.
When they saw someone running out, they subconsciously chased after them, but they didn't expect that there might be someone inside.
Yan Du squinted, "If there's someone inside, who will it be?" ”
"A person who can make Han Zicheng listen to orders and cover up."
"Is Shangguan Xu coming to the Taoist Temple today?"
"Is that him?"
It's just speculation right now, but if it's him, what is he hiding from?
There seemed to be a huge mystery in front of them, and so far they had only seen it, but they had no way to solve it. They walked out of the bamboo forest and saw Hongxuandao people coming down from Xuanyuan Terrace with great pride.
Seeing them, Hongxuan Daoist hurriedly put on a posture and stepped forward to salute solemnly.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, it's really rude to miss the distance."
Liu Yunxiang glanced at the sleeve pockets of Hongxuan Daoist, which were bulging, and it was estimated that there were money bags.
"The Taoist has made a lot of money, right?"
Hong Xuan smiled dryly, "Let the princess laugh, it's just that you have to feed so many disciples, and that little sesame oil money is really not enough." However, although my elixir does not have the miraculous effect of prolonging life, it can really strengthen the body, so we also rely on our conscience. ”
Liu Yunxiangmo, his conscience is so valuable!
Hongxuan Daoist turned to look at Yan Du again, "Your Highness the Seventh, you were quite frightened in the palace that day, right?" ”
Yan Dui's face darkened, "Not really." ”
Hongxuan Dao smiled: "It's nothing to steal the sky, Poor Dao has more powerful skills, you probably don't dare to try." ”
"There's nothing this king doesn't dare, it's just that the Taoist chief has to show his ability to this king, is it necessary?"
"Poor Dao is still the same sentence, I want to calculate a hexagram for His Highness."
"Why?"
"Calculate the destiny, calculate the future, and calculate the general trend, so as to determine the next path of the poor road."
"What path you want to take, you should tell yourself a fortune."
"But Poor Dao thinks that His Highness's path may be better."
"The path taken by this king may not lead to the end you want."
"Your Highness can't help yourself."
Yan Du was silent for a long time, "Are you really a Taoist priest?" ”
Shouldn't a Taoist priest ignore the world and devote himself to cultivating?
Liu Yunxiang smiled: "Hongxuan Daoist has a heart to help the world, and the Tao can cultivate nature, but it may not be able to save people." The immortals still have to go down to the earth to cross the tribulation, after eight sufferings, the road grows red dust, and the heavenly machine is explored, which is to be born to cross the tribulation. ”
Hongxuan looked at Liu Yunxiang again, this time his eyes deepened, as if he had just begun to put her in his eyes at this time, knew her, and figured her out, "Poor Dao and the princess don't know each other, right?" ”
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I just heard that the aisle is long." ”
"Why sigh?"
"It's too late to see each other."
Hongxuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It is true that we hate to see each other late, and the princess can be a poor confidant." ”
"I also want to see the ability of the Taoist, but is it an honor?"
"Nature."
Yan Dui and Liu Yunxiang came to Xuanyuan Terrace again with Hongxuan, Hongxuan sat down cross-legged, and Yan Dui and Liu Yunxiang also sat down.
There was a stove of incense next to it, and the wind carried sandalwood on his cheeks, but it seemed to blow into his brain and heart.
"Close your eyes, count three, open them, and you will go back to your last life."
