48 Calculation and arrangement
Su Chen wandered around the Ximen Wharf, thinking for a long time and not thinking of a good way to get the Qinghe Dao Chief to leave his wing room and give him a chance.
Return to the miscellaneous service hall of Yaowang Villa, continue to do miscellaneous work to earn money, and cultivate the middle dantian.
He is now a third-rate late-stage martial artist, and in three or five days, he will be able to give birth to the true qi of the inner family in his body and step into the second-rate realm. It's just that I've been thinking about this matter in my heart, and if I don't solve it, doing anything is like chewing wax, not a taste.
When Su Chen was free, he went to the library of Yaowang Villa to check the Taoist book, trying to find the clue to the flame talisman. But no matter how much he searched for the Taoist books in the Library Pavilion, he couldn't find any similar rune patterns.
The more this is the case, the more it tickles Su Chen's heart.
On this day, Su Chen came to the Chenghuang Temple in the eastern suburbs of Gusu County with a heavy heart, and looked for a clown to play and relax. Ah Chou was practicing the newly learned martial arts in the City God Temple, and when he saw Su Chen coming, he couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly pulled Su Chen to learn martial arts.
The two chatted for half an hour, and after being exhausted, they rested on the stone steps of the ruined temple, chatting about the recent events on the rivers and lakes.
Su Chen couldn't help but tell the story of Qinghe Dao Chief colluding with the water bandit Ding Thirteen to seek money and kill him.
He didn't dare to mention this matter to others, it would cause death.
Ah Chou is the only good brother he can trust in Gusu City, and he can discuss this kind of thing. Although they may not be able to negotiate any good ideas, the two of them always think more than the others.
"What, Qinghe Dao Chang colluded with water bandits, and there is such a bizarre thing?"
Ah Chou's face turned white with horror when he heard this, and he looked incredulous.
He is a native of Gusu County, a young man from the Tianying Inn, and now he is a hard labor in the Tianying Gate, and he often goes to the Hanshan Taoist Temple to worship the immortals from all walks of life.
Although there is no money to honor incense, the Taoist priests of the Hanshan Taoist Temple have always regarded them as masters outside the world, and they are in awe and dare not be disrespectful.
Where did he think that the acting master of the Hanshan Taoist Temple, the head of Qinghe Road, and the eldest disciple of the first master in Wu County, would actually do such a despicable and shameless deed.
"Ugly, you don't believe it either?... Alas, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I am afraid that the dozens of rivers that killed the Li family would have become a headless unjust case. Even if I was told, I wouldn't believe it. ”
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw Ah Chou's shocked expression.
His worship and respect for the Hanshan Taoist Temple is not under the ugly. If it weren't for Hanshan Zhenren helping him diagnose the bluestone tear strange disease, he was afraid that he would die soon after he was born, and he would be grateful to Hanshan Zhenren.
In the past 20 years, Hanshan Zhenren has been thriving in the hearts of the people of Wu County, and his followers are all over the thirteen counties of Wu County, and his status can be described as unparalleled. Whether it is the old man of Guanfu County or the leader of the five gangs of Wu County, no one can compare to the dignity of the status of Hanshan Zhenren. Naturally, along with his apprentices and Taoist temples, they all have a very high reputation in Wu County.
Ah Chou is still so shocked, and other people are afraid that they will not believe it when they hear this kind of thing, but think that he is slandering.
"Actually, the length of the Qinghe River itself is not important. What I'm most worried about is whether Hanshan Zhenren will support him.... Otherwise, even if the two major gangs of the Medicine King Gang and the Aquila Gate are combined, they will not dare to provoke the real people of Hanshan, let alone our two little minions. ”
Su Chen said worriedly.
The rivers and lakes of the thirteen counties of Wu County, those who dare to provoke the real people of Hanshan, I am afraid that they are really not born.
"That's right. ”
Ugly scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
Su Chen pondered for a while, and said seriously: "No matter what, I'm still going to explore this Cold Mountain Taoist Temple again to see if I can find something." If there is nothing, I will die and not think about it. ”
"Brother Chen, since you are determined to go to the Cold Mountain Taoist Temple again, you must take me with you! Although my martial arts skills are not high, I can also help to detect the wind, sentry or something!"
Ugly suddenly became excited.
He didn't care about the collusion between the Qinghe River chief and the water bandits. But Su Chen was ready to explore the Hanshan Taoist Temple again, but he felt extremely excited and surprised.
This is the legendary adventure, which is extremely risky and exciting.
He did hard labor in the Sky Eagle Gate, secretly learned and practiced martial arts, so that one day, he could go through the rivers and lakes with Su Chen and be proud of the world.
It's just that this day came earlier than Ah Chou imagined, and he had just broken through the third-rate realm not long ago, and his cultivation was still too low, and he was not ready to do something big, so he could only help with small things like the wind first.
"Well, when I'm ready, I'll call you with me in a few days. ”
Su Chen nodded.
He is short of helpers, and although Ah Chou is weak, he can also help on the periphery. Detecting the wind, sentry and the like, and even setting up suspicious formations to lead away the pursuers.
...
Su Chen made up his mind to explore the Hanshan Taoist Temple again.
It's just that you have to be cautious and prepared for everything.
Elder Qinghe Dao is cunning, cautious, and has a very deep internal cultivation, which is far more difficult to deal with than Ding Shisan, the leader of the water bandits. The slightest carelessness will alarm the old fox and be chased madly.
You have to plan well before you can do it, otherwise you will only take your own life in vain.
Su Chen spent several days going to the Hanshan Taoist Temple to find out.
Entering the Hanshan Taoist Temple is very simple.
There are many pilgrims and believers in the Hanshan Taoist Temple, opening the door in the early morning to closing the door in the evening to thank the guests, no less than hundreds, thousands of pilgrims come from Gusu City and Wu County counties, in and out, and even tour in the huge Taoist temple, the Taoist priests are impossible to distinguish the identity of each pilgrim.
Su Chen swaggered into the Taoist temple as a pilgrim, pretended to offer a stick of incense in the temple, and then walked around the temple, familiar with the treasure hall, the scripture building, the courtyard, the rockery, the attic, the corridor pavilion, and kept every grass and tree in mind, and did not have to worry about being suspected.
In the past few days, he has really made some new discoveries.
The front yard of the Taoist temple is lax, and the Taoist priests don't care. However, there is a small Taoist handle in the backyard, and outsiders are prohibited from entering and leaving.
Su Chen sneaked into the backyard and found that the Qinghe Dao chief's work and rest were very regular, and he rarely left the wing room where he lived.
If the Qinghe Dao chief wants to leave this place for a long time, he must order three or four young Taoist masters to stay outside the wing room together, not leaving an inch. Almost all of them are first-class masters, and outsiders don't have the slightest chance to sneak in.
The rest of the time, Qinghe Dao Chang spent the whole day reading the Taoist book in the room, chanting mantras, and never leaving an inch.
The three meals a day were also delivered to his room by other young Taoist priests.
Only late at night, before going to bed, would he occasionally leave the wing room and go to the latrine in the distance to relieve himself. And once a day alone, about a cup of tea returns.
In this extremely short tea time, the head of Qinghe did not arrange for other Taoist priests to guard the room.
"This Qinghe old man is too cautious and cautious, he estimates that others can't do anything with this tea kung fu, so he can rest assured to relieve his hands... However, this old man is so strict with this wing, I'm afraid that there are really some stolen goods and valuables hidden in it, and he is afraid that he will lose it?"
Su Chen muttered in his heart, becoming more and more determined to explore again.
It took him several days to thoroughly figure out the situation in the Cold Mountain Taoist Temple, as well as the activity rules of the Qinghe Dao Chief.
The very short time for Qinghe Lao Dao to have a cup of tea before going to bed late every night was the only chance he could make a move.
"It seems that it will not be difficult to sneak into the wing room again. ”
"In that short period of time, it's not hard to find important items. ”
"The hardest part is how to get out safely!"
"It took me about half a cup of tea to search this huge room. The other half of the tea is used to escape from the Taoist temple. And Qinghe Lao Dao is almost about to return to his hands.
With Qinghe's old man's caution and keenness, I am afraid that he will soon find that something important is missing in the house, and he will definitely pursue it with all his might.
If he had found out right away, it would have left me a very short time to escape from the temple. How can we successfully escape the pursuit of the old way?"
Su Chen's heart was thinking quickly.
Those things involve the net worth and life of Qinghe Lao Dao, and under the anger, he will definitely take the Taoist priests in the Hanshan Taoist Temple to chase them out desperately.
Many of the Taoist priests of the Hanshan Taoist Temple are first-class masters, and they are good at light skills.
How far can you escape in this short half a cup of tea?
Su Chen didn't think that he could outrun this group of Taoist light masters.
Half a cup of tea, I'm afraid that he can run about two or three miles away at most, which is the limit of his running.
During this period, you must quickly find a safe and hidden place, otherwise you will definitely be caught up by the Taoist priests halfway.
Su Chen repeatedly stepped on the dots around the Hanshan Taoist Temple, carefully calculating the direction and distance of escape.
Draw a circle with Hanshan Taoist Temple as the center, the range of two or three miles is very small, and only the two directions of "Ximen Wharf and Gusu County" are the most suitable for escaping.
Hanshan Taoist Temple to the west, about half a mile, is the West Gate Wharf. Jump straight into the river from the dock and escape to the countryside with the help of river diving.
However, the countryside of Gusu County is vast and sparsely populated, and the villagers in the township are all acquaintances, so it is easy to find out outsiders, and it is not easy to hide people. People want to eat, they want to stay, and these are easy to expose.
If the Taoist priests of the Hanshan Taoist Temple launched a ruthless attack and laid a net all the way through the traffic checkpoints in various countryside, the possibility of being caught in the end is still very high.
To the east, you can enter the city from the west gate of the county seat, and you can escape through the complicated lanes.
There are nearly 100,000 households in Gusu City, which is the most prosperous and the best place to hide. As long as you escape into the county town and choose a suitable place to hide, the Taoist priests of the Hanshan Taoist Temple are very few, and it is not easy to find a "thief" in such a large county.
You can fish into the sea and disappear without a trace in the county.
Of course, in addition to these two evacuation directions, there is actually another place to escape, which is to flee to Yaowang Villa.
There are masters of the gang in Yaowang Villa, and although the Taoist priests of the Hanshan Taoist Temple are powerful, they can't rush to the heavily guarded mountain gate, let alone search for people.
It's a pity that Yaowang Villa is about five miles away from the Hanshan Taoist Temple.
Su Chen didn't think that he could escape back to the Yaowang Villa five miles away in one go, and it was very likely that he would run out of two or three miles, and he would be discovered and caught up by the light martial arts masters among the Taoist priests halfway.
"From this point of view, entering the county seat of Gusu is the best policy! The more people there are, the more difficult it is to track down, and the easier it is to eliminate my suspicions! However, I have to find a safe hiding place in the county seat first. ”
Su Chen entered the west gate of Gusu City and walked about half a mile into the city. While calculating the distance, I was looking for a suitable hiding place.
Ordinary houses are inconvenient to hide, and outsiders can easily find out when they enter.
At this time, Su Chen walked to the entrance of the street in the city, the most prosperous and lively place.
Su Chen looked up and saw a luxurious and extravagant attic at the entrance of the street. There are dozens of young and beautiful girls standing in front of the attic, one by one dressed up in swallow branches, charming and moving.
