Chapter 169: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada (Part I)
Xue Ling said: "Early tomorrow morning, let's find someone to make this piece of paper old, and then put this box back in the broken temple of Qixinggang." If the wind is released again, it will be said that someone has obtained this treasure on Qixinggang, and invite the heroes of the rivers and lakes to come to Qixinggang to appreciate this treasure together, and Liu Wanjin will definitely come at that time. ”
Everyone felt that this plan was the only way, and they all nodded secretly. Early in the morning of the second day, Xue Ling and Lin Gongyu went to find someone to make the newly painted paper old, Dongfang Hong and Yue Sirou disguised themselves and went to the place where people in the rivers and lakes gathered to spread the news, and when the four of them came back in the evening, everything was ready, and the five of them set off for Qixinggang.
When they arrived at Qixinggang, they put the jade box back into the broken temple, and then hid in the dark to watch the changes. It didn't take long for many high-rollers to come one after another, but none of these people entered the ruined temple, but only camped outside, similar to marching and fighting to capture the city, and surrounded the ruined temple.
The five of them looked at it for a while, and seeing that these people didn't have the slightest intention of going in, Yue Sirou couldn't help but ask, "Why don't these people go into the temple to grab treasures?"
Xue Ling said: "They know that their martial arts are too low, even if they grab the jade box, they can't protect it well, and it is inevitable that they will be robbed by others, so they are waiting here. ”
More and more high-rollers gathered in front of the broken temple, and more than 300 people came in half a day, surrounding the broken temple. Some of them knew each other, so they came forward to say hello, gossip, and pull the relationship, and if they started to take care of each other, they gradually formed their own forces. The five of them mingled in the crowd, pretending to be the ones who came to snatch the jade box, but secretly looking for Liu Wanjin's figure.
Xue Ling whispered to Lin Gongyu: "Brother Lin, don't look for it, Liu Wanjin is not so stupid." ”
Lin Gongyu asked, "Didn't he come?"
Xue Ling said: "He will definitely come back, but he will definitely disguise himself as an appearance that we don't recognize." ”
Lin Gongyu thought it was good, but in this way, it would be difficult to find, and he hurriedly said, "What can I do?"
Xue Ling smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I'll be free tomorrow." ”
Lin Gongyu saw that she was in her chest, so she relaxed. This night, the five of them slept outside the broken temple with Qunhao, who did not dare to step into the broken temple, nor dared to sleep, his eyes stared straight at everyone, as long as someone approached the broken temple, everyone would glare at him angrily like a great enemy. Although Lin Gongyu and the others had nothing to worry about, they had no intention of sleeping.
Leng Qingshuang was pregnant, and at this time she had a pregnancy reaction, and she couldn't stop retching, so Xue Ling persuaded him to go back to the inn in Seven Star Town, but she just didn't want to, so she had to let her.
On the second day, more and more people gathered in front of the broken temple, Xue Ling found many sneaky people in the crowd, but none of them were Liu Wanjin, she expected that Liu Wanjin would be among them, so she wanted to make a trick to force him to appear.
Xue Ling took out a black iron bullet the size of a thumb from her arms, and with a flick of her thumb, the iron bullet shot out and shot into the ruined temple, only to hear a bang, and white smoke scattered. Qunhao was shocked, but when they saw the white smoke billowing and drowning the broken temple, they still surrounded the broken temple, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to enter the temple and take away the jade box.
When the white smoke cleared and everyone was in shock, they suddenly heard a girl's voice shouting: "Liu Wanjin from the Dragon Gate snatched the jade box, Liu Wanjin don't run." ”
When Qunhao heard this, he looked around for Liu Wanjin, and immediately became a mess. Xue Ling saw that in the panic, an unkempt old man quickly withdrew from the crowd and fled down the mountain. Xue Ling pulled Lin Gongyu and chased after him.
When the heroes saw it, they chased after them. Xue Ling shouted again: "The jade box is in the Buddha's bowl. When she shouted, more than half of them stopped and returned to the ruined temple. The people who continued to chase saw the crowd retreating, and after chasing a few steps, they also turned back.
Lin Gongyu made a few leaps, and caught up with the unkempt old man, and slapped the old man's shoulder with a move of five dragons and cranes, the old man stood unsteadily, and fell backwards, Xue Ling quickly clicked on his several big holes, and the old man couldn't move immediately.
Lin Gongyu saw that the old man was full of abscesses, his clothes were in tatters, and he was clearly a flower child, so he couldn't help but glance at Xue Ling, and asked if he recognized the wrong person?
Xue Ling smiled and said, "Old man Liu Wanjin, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did your old man become like this?"
The old man trembled with fright and said, "Girl... You... Recognize the wrong person!"
Xue Ling smiled: "You can't fool me with this trick, did I scrape off the flour and paste on your face with a knife?"
When the old man heard him say this, his eyes darkened, and then he said, "Don't kill me, Di Liang and Mingyue were not killed by me." ”
When Lin Gongyu heard this, his brain was clear, and he was sure that this person was Liu Wanjin.
Yue Sirou stepped forward and kicked him, scolding: "You bad old man, kill Sister You, see if I don't kill you." She suddenly had a dagger in her hand, and she was about to stab Liu Wanjin in the heart as she spoke.
Xue Ling grabbed her wrist and snatched the dagger. Lin Gongyu stepped forward and leaned down, kneading Liu Wanjin's face for a while, and the easy-to-use flour on his face fell off one after another, revealing his true face, who is Liu Wanjin?
Lin Gongyu said angrily: "Where did you hide Brother Di's child?"
When Liu Wanjin heard that he was looking for the child, he immediately said in his heart: "You let me go, otherwise the child will die." ”
Xue Ling was furious, and reversed the dagger and inserted it into Liu Wanjin's thigh. The dagger was very sharp, stabbing Liu Wanjin's leg bone, Liu Wanjin couldn't help but scream, sweating profusely in pain.
Xue Ling sneered: "If you know each other, quickly tell the whereabouts of that child, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will let you taste the taste of peach blossoms." ”
Liu Wanjin saw that this girl was ruthless, and he was shocked and angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and said, "I hid him in Puji Temple!"
Xue Ling smiled at Lin Gongyu, but saw that Lin Gongyu's eyes were red, and he knew that he was excited, so he took his hand and said, "Brother Lin, let's go to Puji Temple now, if not, see how I concoct this old man." ”
The five escorted Liu Wanjin to Puji Temple, a monastery southeast of Qixing Town, where more than two dozen bhikshunis were practicing. Liu Wanjin brought Di Liang's orphan here, assuming that he had something important, he put the child here, and he was happy with some incense money, so he went to Qixinggang alone, thinking that no matter whether he could get the jade box or not, he would come back to pick up the child, but who expected to fall into someone's trap.
Lin Gongyu and others escorted Liu Wanjin into Puji Temple, and the abbot Xiaoqing couldn't help but be startled when he saw it, and Lin Gongyu hurriedly told the reason. Mrs. Xiaoqing ordered someone to take the child out, Lin Gongyu took it in his arms, and saw that the child was staring at him with a pair of bulging eyes, vaguely similar to Di Liang and You Mingyue, and couldn't help but feel sour.
