Chapter 97: The thief comes to the door

The moon rose into the sky, the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and a dim oil lamp burned in a nunnery built by the river.

If you compare this nunnery with a normal temple, it is not very large, but if you compare it with a private house, it is not small.

In front of this nunnery is a square hall, and above the main entrance in front of the hall hangs a plaque engraved with the three big characters of 'Shuiyue Nunnery', and when you enter the Shuiyue Nunnery, you can see that there are twelve golden bodies of the Dharma in the square hall.

In this world, these twelve golden bodies of the Dharma Ministers are also called the Twelve Heavenly Kings by the world, and they are the twelve disciples under the throne of the Dharma Ancestor.

Behind the square hall is a courtyard, with flowers and grass in the courtyard, as well as a spacious open space, where the two sisters have been practicing since childhood.

Behind the courtyard are three small halls, in the middle of the hall are placed the golden body of the ancestor, and on both sides are the Dharma bodies of several Bodhisattvas.

Behind it is a narrower courtyard, which is flanked by several small rooms, and the size of the entire Suigetsu Nunnery is roughly the same.

At this time, in the main hall where the Twelve Heavenly Kings were placed in Shuiyue Nunnery, Hui Jing sat cross-legged on a futon, holding a small black bag the size of a palm in her hand.

"This bag is really invulnerable, and it can't be soaked in water and fire. Hui Jing removed the black pouch in her hand from above the candle flame and asked puzzledly, "Senior sister, where did you get this bag?"

"This bag was obtained from a 'Pu' guest in the county town a few days ago. ”

Hui Ci reached out and took the black bag handed by his junior sister, looked at it, and put it aside.

In her opinion, although this bag is a treasure bag, but she has no way, she has tried many methods, she can't open the bag at all, let alone know what is in it, so in the past few days, her interest in this treasure bag has faded.

The two sisters discussed the treasure bag in the hall, and then talked about other things, and before they knew it, the moon outside the nunnery had risen to the sky.

"It's not too early, junior sister, we changed our clothes and got ready to start. ”

After Hui Ci said this, the two people in the hall went directly to the last row of rooms in Shuiyue Nunnery, and each changed into a set of black night clothes, and at the same time, they each carried a small burden on their backs.

After getting ready, the two of them left the nunnery and went straight to the Sheraton Inn in the north of the city.

......

In the middle of the night, in the Sheraton Inn, Zhou Qing sat quietly in the large guest room of Tianzi No. 1 that he rented, exhaling and exhaling the aura.

Every day, only in the early morning, when the moon sets and the sun rises, the aura between heaven and earth will be more majestic.

However, in order to wait for the so-called 'Jun I don't know' to come to the door, Zhou Qing had to stay all night, because there were many people during the day, and even a thief would not dare to venture into the inn to steal.

The night was long, and there was nothing to pass the time, and there was no way to light the lamp and wax, so Zhou Qing had no choice but to meditate.

The news that he was going to buy a slave girl had been spread yesterday, and it had been two days now, and he guessed that the thief must have known the news, and it could appear at any time.

Therefore, when he was meditating, he did not completely sink into meditation, but divided half of his mind, always paying attention to the movement of this large room of Tianzi No. 1, even if it was a very subtle sound, he was completely noticed.

For example, just now, in the guest room next to him, he heard a few slight women's laughter, followed by a slight 'crunch~' wooden bed swaying, and finally a man's gasp, from which he knew that there must be a passing couple living in that room.

While meditating, he kept a close eye on the movement in the room, and suddenly, he heard a very light and very thin sound from his closed wooden window, which he would definitely not be able to hear clearly if he did not listen carefully.

After the sound by the window appeared, Zhou Qing retracted his mind and sat quietly in the dark room, looking at the wooden window, waiting.

After a few moments, the closed wooden window was pulled open, and the window was gently pushed open.

Taking advantage of the dim moonlight outside the house, Zhou Qing saw a figure crawling in outside the window.

As soon as the man rolled into the room, Zhou Qing rushed directly towards him, trying to take down one of them with lightning speed.

But the thief who turned into the house was too vigilant, and as soon as Zhou Qing moved, he was discovered by the other party, only to see the other party's figure move, and turned directly out of the window, and at the same time drank the word 'run' in his mouth.

As the saying goes, thieves are thieves, this is really not false at all, seeing the thief's reaction, where could Zhou Qing miss the opportunity like this, he did not hesitate at all, and directly turned out of the window and chased after him.

Tianzi No. 1 room is located on the second floor, Zhou Qing jumped out of the window and landed firmly on the ground, of course, thanks to the floating cloud steps that he had practiced hard for several years.

Jumping out of the window, it was the inner courtyard of the inn, and after Zhou Qing landed, he saw two figures.

One figure had climbed up the wall of the inner courtyard, and the other had climbed halfway up to the wall.

When Zhou Qing rushed to the courtyard wall, the two figures had already disappeared from the wall, which showed that their skills were not bad.

The courtyard wall that is more than a foot high is nothing to Zhou Qing, when he rushed to the wall, he kicked the soles of his feet on the wall to borrow strength, and climbed to the top of the wall very easily, and then he climbed directly to the outside of the wall.

Out of the inn, Zhou Qing directly chased the two figures, and when he came to an intersection, the two figures scattered to the east and the other to the west.

With the current situation, it is impossible to catch the two, Zhou Qing took a step and directly chased the thief who ran east.

The thief's speed is very fast, Zhou Qing's speed is faster than him, the distance between the two was originally more than 20 zhang away, and after chasing for a while, the distance between Zhou Qing and the thief was only four or five zhang away.

"You can't run away. ”

Looking at the black figure close at hand, Zhou Qing shouted at it.

Seeing this, the thief who was running in front of him chased Zhou Qing closer, he turned around sharply, grabbed a handful of powder in his hand and sprinkled it on Zhou Qing.

This sudden handful of powder made Zhou Qing unguarded, and after the powder did not enter his eyes, Zhou Qing only felt pain in his eyes, and then his vision was blurred and he tripped and fell to the ground.

After falling to the ground, Zhou Qing heard the footsteps of his own chase running farther and farther, and in a hurry, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Aren't you going to take my two hundred taels of gold, come, it's all here." ”

Throwing the gold he was carrying with him, Zhou Qing paused when he heard the footsteps that were getting farther and farther away, and then the footsteps became louder and louder.

There is no need to think about it, naturally the thief heard Zhou Qing's words just now and returned to get the gold.

He didn't care about the gold Zhou Qing, he just wanted to retrieve his treasure bag, so when the thief returned, he put the gold in his hand beside him and waited for the upcoming confrontation.

If he can catch the thief, then his treasure bag will have the possibility of recovery, if he can't catch it, then the gold he has spent a lot of effort to deceive will be wasted, and his efforts all these days will be wasted.
