On the official horse avenue at the north gate of the city, in the crowd not far from the gray-clothed woman with wide sleeves, there was a sturdy old man with a long beard who had been following behind him, quietly looking.

The two of them walked for a long time among the many pedestrians who went to the Genting Mountain Taoist Temple to burn incense, and after walking almost half a stick of incense, the gray-clothed woman walking in front suddenly left the crowd and walked to the side, and after getting off the official road, she walked to the left path.

The old man deliberately slowed down, and when he saw that the woman dressed as a man had walked a distance, he looked down at his palm, and then raised his head and looked around, and after a while, it seemed that he had finally determined the direction, and then hurriedly continued to walk.

It was the old man Yang who was the shopkeeper of the Yang family pharmacy in the north of the city who was a little puzzled, a woman went out of the city in disguise, did not take the avenue, but chose some uncommon paths to walk, looking at her expression, there was clearly something similar to a map in her hand.

Old man Yang has been opening a medicine shop in Fallen Leaf City for a long time, because of the perennial visits and medicine collection, he knows the boundaries of dozens of miles not far from the city, according to the path that the woman walked, it takes a long distance to see the village, except for a temple in the middle that has been abandoned for many years.

Just as the old man was hesitating to follow and find out, a figure suddenly appeared on the left side of the crowd and attracted his attention, the person who came was a middle-aged man, with a hat to cover his face, and a thing wrapped around his back with a piece of black cloth, tall and tall.

Old man Yang squinted, a little familiar.

Although the Fallen Leaf City is not big, it is located between Fulingdu and Qingshui City, which connects the two countries, and there are all kinds of people who come and go, and people come and go, but early in the morning, they dress up out of the city like this, and he is burly, in the crowd of people who go to the Taoist temple to burn incense, it is not just standing out, and it is difficult not to be conspicuous.

Sure enough, the man with the hat suddenly stopped in front of him almost a stone's throw away from Old Man Yang.

Old man Yang hesitated, but after confirming that the woman in gray clothes and wide sleeves was the one who had purchased the medicinal materials needed for that prescription at the pharmacy before, he quietly followed along the way.

The reason why this is the case is another small grievance, in short, it has a lot to do with that prescription.

After the man stopped, he just hesitated a little and went down the official road.

Old man Yang frowned, the figure of the woman on the path had disappeared after turning a corner, and the man who had just walked off the official road was standing under a certain tree on the side of the path at the moment, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Taking advantage of the fact that the man didn't look back, Old Man Yang quietly came to the place where he had stopped before and took a look, but he didn't see anything famous, but under the bluestone paved official road, there was an obvious rut mark on both sides of several footprints that were not deep or shallow.

When Old Man Yang raised his head again, the man wearing the hat had already moved his steps and began to walk towards the depths of the path.

Old man Yang wanted to take a closer look at the somewhat familiar burly figure, but the man's pace was getting faster and faster, and he walked out of the distance in a blink of an eye, which was completely different from the previous posture of bowing his head on the official road.

Something quirky!

Old man Yang quietly got off the official road, came to the tree to take a look, and after bending down to pick up a piece of bark that had obviously been cut off not long ago, he touched his long beard and followed.

At the Yang family's pharmacy in the city, the young man Shuisheng stood at the counter with a bitter face and grabbed the medicine according to the prescription after the old man Yang said that he was going out for a medical visit, and he didn't know how long it took, the young man seemed to feel a little bored, so he raised his head and stretched his waist and looked out the window.

On the main road of the inner city facing the gate of the pharmacy, a few men in civilian clothes happened to walk past the pharmacy, and a group of three people walked towards the north gate of the city, one of them was obviously fat, and the other was slightly younger.

The young man in the pharmacy glanced at Shui Sheng, and looked through the window, the slightly young man had a clear face, like Brother Chen, the official of the county government.

The guy ran out of the door of the pharmacy, and saw that the three people were getting farther and farther away, and just wanted to stretch out his hand and shout, but suddenly drooped down, and the young man was a little curious, why didn't he wear a bad clothes today?

On the path leading to the dilapidated and abandoned temple, just as the group of three people was moving forward, a man from Miao Village who had gone out early was squatting on a tree on a hillside, hiding his figure by the luxuriant branches, and looking at the dilapidated ancient temple not far ahead.

In front of his line of sight, under the corner of the entire side of the half-collapsed wall of the ancient temple, there was a carriage parked safely, and the old horse could be vaguely seen flicking its tail and the horse's hooves lightly stepping on the ground.

After receiving instructions from the eunuch Lord Xu, he set off early, and after finding the rutted marks on the road leading to Qingshui City, he sneaked all the way, leaving marks along the way.

After following all the way to the ancient temple in front of him, he saw the smoke curling in the temple.

Got it!

Passing through the crumbling walls, a figure appeared on the other side of the path.

Although the person who came was wearing a gray robe, he looked at his thin body, and no matter how he looked at it, he was far from the burly little official in the county government in the city.

Amu squatted on the tree and was a little surprised, could it be that he was a person from the yamen who didn't even know about himself?

Just when he felt a little strange, the figure finally found his target, and trotted all the way to the temple.

Amu shook his head, thinking that he was a chick in the yamen, so he was not afraid of startling the grass and snakes if he went in so recklessly?

A guy who dared to steal the carriage from the prison mansion overnight, not only was he bold, but he was also a master of art and bold, if it weren't for his special identity and he couldn't show up easily, the supervisor Xu would not only arrange for himself to track down, but go to bother the yamen official in the county government.

It seems that they have said before that Lord Jian Cheng is very optimistic about that guy, and sure enough, if this is to let others get the stolen goods, even if it is not a great achievement, it can be regarded as "Jane in the emperor's heart" on Lord Xu's side.

Amu didn't care, as soon as he thought of the unknown tiger leaving the mountain last night, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, where is the tiger official of the deciduous city and county government, and the kitten is almost the same.

Just as he was thinking about whether to find a way to wake up the reckless guy, he saw another unbelievable scene.

The thin figure trotting towards the temple gate, when passing the broken and painted mottled doorpost, actually reached out and knocked on the door, as if he could not wait for the person inside to respond, the guy seemed to shout a few more times inside, hesitated, and then opened the broken door and walked in.

Amu was confused.

Inside the temple gate, the woman wearing a gray wide-sleeved robe was also confused, according to the description on the piece of paper in her hand, Li Gongzi should have made an appointment to meet here, but no one responded.

Miao Shudi pushed open the door of the dilapidated temple, a musty smell mixed with the smell of charcoal fire came to her face, and there seemed to be a smell of barbecue meat in the breath from time to time, the woman stretched out her hand and waved in front of the door, walked sideways, and cautiously walked towards the main hall of the dilapidated temple.

The main hall of the whole temple does not look big, and the Buddha statue at the entrance is only about 30 steps away from itself, but it does a pattern of two entrances and exits, the middle of the gate and the Buddha statue, slightly closer to the Buddha platform, and about one-third of the place is a round frame door, so as to distinguish between inside and outside.

Although the distance is not far, this temple is really dilapidated, I don't know how many years it has been abandoned, the yellow curtain on the beam of the original curtain has collapsed, and most of the scene on the side of the Buddha platform is in tatters, even through the holes on both sides of the round frame door, it is not very possible to see the real inside of the scene.

In the outhouse where the woman was standing, some distance from the left wall, there was a bonfire that had not been completely extinguished, and there were still faint fires bursting out from time to time.

Miao Shudi was a little pleased, there was a roasted golden buttery hare on top of the fire, and it seemed that she had found the right place.

It's just a little surprising that the entire inner hall is not big, and she can't see half a figure at a glance, which makes the woman happy and a little puzzled, Li Gongzi is not here at this time, where did he go?

Just when the woman was hesitating, as if on the side of the Buddha platform through the round frame door, a long-lost voice sounded, "Senior, are you going out, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to run away?"

Miao Shudie's body trembled, and she walked gently towards the place where the voice came from, and when the woman stepped over the round-framed door, she had already reached out to cover her mouth.

There was a figure wearing a yamen soap robe leaning sideways against the Buddha platform, although he was facing away from him at this time, but looking at the head that didn't look like a scholar's belt and bun, the woman was a little sad.

Li Yunfeng was leaning sideways against the Buddha platform, looking at the dilapidated window lattice on the side of the opposite wall, where the spiders coiled in the spider web were busy and happy, and the few green saucer moths that had unfortunately fallen into the net were already tied to death, trapped in the spider web and unable to move.

After chatting with that person for a long time, Li Yunfeng, who already knew the inside story, only felt tired, but some things were not easy to make clear to him in person, so Li Yunfeng didn't plan to continue to entangle with him when he turned sideways, just thinking that when the little girl arrived and explained it clearly, maybe things would take a slight turn.

I slept like this for a while, but I didn't want to be disturbed by the sound of the creaking door opening.

Li Yunfeng was already unhappy in his heart, so he deliberately said something disgusting casually.

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the mockery in his intention, Li Yunfeng was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that according to the temperament of the senior, he should have stabbed a sentence at this time, "As far as your current appearance is a leather snake, you should move and let me take a look" Such similar words are right.

Li Yunfeng twisted his eyebrows, turned sideways with difficulty, and wanted to see what the old guy was going to do.

Just before he could turn sideways, there was a faint fragrance, and a pair of white and innocent hands were on his arms, trying to help him get up.

Li Yunfeng's whole head spread out with a bang, and he had only smelled this fragrance on one person.

Sure enough, when he slowly turned his head, he saw that delicate and graceful face was looking at him.

There was a man in gray with wide sleeves, squatting, with gentle eyes and surprise.

Li Yunfeng blurted out: "Miss Miao, why are you?"

The woman was obviously a little stunned, and her two curved crescent eyebrows flickered slightly, as if she didn't know how to speak.

Far away from the mountains and forests of the dilapidated ancient temple window lattices, the hunchbacked man had already flashed out of the house when he heard the movement at the door.

The hunchbacked man who saw all this in his eyes also frowned slightly, as if he didn't know how it came from not his own little girl.

Farther away, Amu, who was squatting on a tree, almost accidentally fell down, "Why is he?"
