Mang Gurtai stood still in the manor, followed by several people dressed as shamans, led by none other than the first disciple of Drag, the mage of Donglutu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gao Jie smiled, stepped forward quickly, came to Mang Gurtai and saluted with his fists: "Gao Jie has seen Sanbeile!"

Mang Gurtai obviously didn't expect Gao Jie to appear here, and was slightly stunned: "Why are you here?"

Gao Jie smiled and said: "The day before yesterday, I got the guidance of the Great Khan, so I set off for Hetuala, and arrived at Baitabao today. ”

Mang Gurtai glanced at the people behind Gao Jie and said, "These are all people from your firm?"

Gao Jie said: "Exactly, we just had dinner, and Sanbeile came? The owner of this manor doesn't know where to go, there is no one, if Sanbeile and his party also came to spend the night, then the room is enough!"

Steward Wu was shocked to see a large number of guards of the Jin Kingdom surrounding the manor, he was shocked and regretful, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his forehead was densely covered with sweat. Seeing this, when Gao Jie and Mang Gurtai were coping, Wang Xi silently blocked Steward Wu, who was wearing night clothes, behind him.

When Master Donglu Tu saw Gao Jie, he was very aggrieved, but he knew that this young man was a guest of the Great Khan, so he didn't dare to offend, so he just glared at him viciously and didn't say a word.

A smile suddenly appeared on Mang Gurtai's pale face, and he nodded: "We are here to search for the criminals of Wujiazhuang, but we have disturbed Brother Gao Jie and your party." In this way, you can let the people of the trading house be aggrieved, stay in this hall for the time being, and do not leave, until the guards search Wujiazhuang and make sure that there is no one in it. ”

Gao Jie bowed and said yes, greeted everyone very cooperatively, and reflexively returned to the hall.

Mang Gurtai seemed to be very satisfied with Gao Jie's behavior, waved his hands, and whispered to his subordinates: "Search!" and then followed into the hall.

The Jurchen guards in light armor immediately dispersed and launched a search for Wujiazhuang. And Master Donglu Tu always felt that Gao Jie and his party were a little strange, and worried about the safety of Mang Gurtai, so he also followed him into the main hall.

Gao Jie gave up a seat for Mang Gurtai and Master Donglu Tu, and ordered the "little servants" Sun Qianguang and Ji Longfeng to serve tea, and he chatted with them without a word. It's just that Mang Gurtai has always been silent, and Master Donglutu had a holiday with Gao Jie and his party, and he was too lazy to deal with him, so this small talk was very embarrassing, Gao Jie talked for a long time, and gradually ran out of words, and he didn't know how to continue.

Fortunately, the Jurchen guards quickly searched the empty Wujiazhuang, and after hearing the news, Mang Gurtai stood up and smiled at Gao Jie: "Brother Gao Jie, my official business has been completed, you can rest!"

Gao Jie said respectfully: "Sanbeile, aren't you resting here?"

Mang Gurtai said: "This Wujiazhuang prisoner is very important, I think it should be not long after I escape, we have to hunt down overnight, but there is no time to rest!"

Gao Jie said: "Sanbeile is busy with official business, it's really hard, please pay more attention to your body!"

Mang Gurtai hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Brother Gaojie for your concern, I hope you have a safe journey to Hetuala, business is going well, see you later!" After speaking, he turned around and left the hall with Master Donglutu, and evacuated Wujiazhuang with many guards.

Gao Jie and his entourage watched them leave, and then returned to the hall, Steward Wu seemed to be taking a shower with his clothes on his face, and his sweat was almost soaked in his night clothes, he bowed deeply to Gao Jie and the others and said: "Thank you for your help tonight, let the little old man escape, thank you for your kindness, and I will report it later!"

Gao Jie picked up Steward Wu and said: "Steward Wu, you are serious, but I don't know what major things you Wujiazhuang has committed, and you actually ordered the Sanbeile Mang Gurtai to personally lead people to arrest you?"

Steward Wu's expression was complicated, and he said perfunctorily after a while: "Shopkeeper Gao, I'm really sorry, the little old man is just a subordinate, and he can't figure out what happened." Now it's not early, I still have to chase after the owner of the village, so say goodbye!" After speaking, he didn't even care about what he was looking for when he came back, and hurriedly left Wujiazhuang.

When Steward Wu left, Ji Longfeng shook his head and said, "This Wu Jiazhuang is weird, and this Steward Wu is even stranger!"

Xiong Zhaoqi echoed: "Indeed, everything is a little weird tonight!"

Gao Jie frowned and said: "Weird is still secondary, I'm afraid that Steward Wu will be in big trouble if he goes!"

Wang Rui was puzzled: "Why? Mang Gurtai and his people haven't found anything, and they have already retreated, with the skills of Steward Wu, there should be no problem, right?"

Luo Yangxing, who has always spoken little, suddenly said: "What Xiaojie said is that I am only afraid that the people of Wujiazhuang will suffer because of Steward Wu!"

Wang Xi also nodded and said, "That's right!"

Wang Rui was anxious, and said loudly: "I said that you don't want to play dumb riddles, okay, say anything!"

Xiong Zhaoqi, Sun Qianguang and Ji Longfeng also looked at Gao Jie and the three of them, waiting for their explanation. Goku stayed heartlessly and teased his little black tiger to himself, unconcerned about what they were talking about.

Luo Sigong and Venerable Zongqing looked at each other and smiled, and said to Wang Rui and them: "If you guys had paid attention to it just now, you would have found the clues, and now you will have some judgment!"

Ji Longfeng was uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to be rude to Luo Sigong, so he grabbed Gao Jie's neck and threatened: "Gaozi, do you want to talk about it?"

Gao Jie raised his hand in surrender, and after breaking free from Ji Longfeng's clutches, he said: "Who is Mang Gurtai?! He is a battle-hardened and experienced general, Nurhachi put him in charge of the mysterious Fifth Banner Team, which shows that his ability should not be underestimated. Just now, Steward Wu was wearing a night suit, trembling all over and standing among us, do you think Mang Gurtai is blind and didn't see it?"

Ji Longfeng hurriedly said: "Didn't you explain that these are all people from our trading house?

Gao Jie said: "Even if he doesn't doubt my words, according to common sense, when he sees such a special person as Steward Wu, he should at least ask, isn't it?

Ji Longfeng thought for a while and said, "He chose to turn a blind eye... Oops! There must be something wrong with this!"

Wang Rui, Sun Qianguang and Xiong Zhaoqi also suddenly realized when they heard Gao Jie's analysis.

Gao Jie continued: "Moreover, when I met Nurhachi, this third bel was so indifferent to me that he did not want to deal with me at all. But tonight, he smiled at me. I don't believe he's going to fall in love with me all of a sudden!"

When everyone heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Luo Sigong said earnestly at this time: "When you come out to practice, you must observe carefully, be diligent in using your brain, not let go of a trace of clues, and do not ignore any suspicious clues." If you want to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, in addition to having strong martial arts, rich experience, careful observation, and accurate judgment are also very important. ”

When everyone heard this, they nodded earnestly and were taught.

Venerable Zong Qing said with a smile: "I'm afraid, now Steward Wu has been targeted by Mang Gurtai and others halfway, Lord Luo, what are you going to do?"

Luo Sigong said: "What the master thinks should be the same as the old man." Now that you have run into it, you have to figure out what the hell is going on. What's more, we are waiting to stay in Wujiazhuang, and we owe them a favor, and the people in the rivers and lakes should repay their kindness, and help if they can! In this way, let's go to a few people, secretly follow them, see what is going on, and then act when the opportunity arises!"

Hearing this, Ji Longfeng immediately jumped out and said loudly: "I must be going this time, no one wants to stop me!"

Xiong Zhaoqi, Wang Rui and Sun Qianguang were not far behind, and they all asked to go.

Luo Yangxing was unhurried, walked straight to his room, and left a message before leaving: "I'll go change my night clothes!"

Ji Longfeng and the others saw Luo Yangxing's actions, and they were so impressed that they were about to follow suit, but they heard Luo Sigong say: "Wang Rui and Wukong stay, and the others go!"

When everyone heard this, they happily went back to the room to change their night clothes, leaving only Wang Rui protesting loudly: "Lord Luo, why don't you let me go?!"

Luo Sigong smiled and said, "Didn't you see that Master Donglu Tu was also there? You have fought with him, and you have a big goal, it is difficult not to recognize you!"

Wang Rui thought about it, so he had to be full of depression and hide to the side to accompany Wukong to tease the little black tiger.

Master Zongqing said to Luo Sigong: "Let these young people go, can you rest assured?"

Luo Sigong said with a smile: "Although there are many people brought by Mang Gurtai, there are no top masters, and these boys should be able to deal with it." Besides, with Wang Xi's experience, Xiaojie's cleverness, and the calmness of his cultivation, the two of us old men will wait for good news again. ”

Gao Jie and his entourage of six changed into night clothes, left Wujiazhuang, and quickly blended into the night.

Although Steward Wu has been away for a short time, Wang Xi, who has a hidden stabbing technique, is an expert in tracking, and he still led everyone to the northeast corner of the town.

In the night, an octagonal brick tower about 33 meters high with 13 layers of dense eaves appeared in everyone's sight. The tower is located in a small temple on a loess hill.

Hidden under the loess hill, Wang Xi said in a low voice: "This is the most famous Pure Light Relic Pagoda in Baitabao, and this temple is called Huilong Temple. ”

This relics pagoda was built in the thirteenth year of Liao Chongxi (1044), has a long history, because the pagoda contains 1,548 "relics", so it is also called the pure light relics pagoda. Here is the Zhaoling Tomb in the east, the swamp in the south, the antique color, the scenery is very beautiful, and the "Tawan sunset" has also become one of the famous scenery in Liaodong. The tower base is an octagonal inflated lotus Sumeru seat, the whole body is bricked, and the surrounding stone is inlayed; Each side of the tower body has a Buddha shrine, the shrine is carved with curly grass, begonia pattern and the beautiful shape of the umbrella cover, flying sky, etc., there is the sitting Buddha wearing a robe on the lotus seat that rises in the niche, and there are assistants on both sides of the shrine. There are brick carving bucket arches under the eaves of the tower, there are tile ridges, there are sets of beasts, sitting beasts on the corner ridges, thirteen layers of eaves are adducted layer by layer, and finally become the top of the tower that octagonal points are gathered. The top of the tower stands the front metal brake lever, strings of gourd-shaped orbs, connects the corner ridge with eight iron cables, the whole tower stands tall and magnificent, amazing.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there were often wind disasters in this place, and the strong wind blew for several days and nights, so that the river water was cut off, the well water dried up, the crops were not harvested, and the people could not live in peace. It happened that a monk came here and told the people that this was a disaster caused by the yellow dragon from heaven and earth. The people then begged the monks to subdue the Yellow Dragon and save the people from fire and water. After the monk checked the terrain, he confirmed that Tawan was where the dragon's head of the Yellow Dragon was located, so he and his two disciples set up a high platform in Tawan to worship the sky, and finally locked the Yellow Dragon, and the people lived a peaceful life from then on. In order to thank this monk, the people built a temple called Huilong Temple on the dragon's head for the monks to live in. After the monk's death, his apprentices built the stupa in the temple in honor of him.

Looking at the Huilong Temple and the Relic Pagoda not far away, Ji Longfeng asked, "Steward Wu didn't go out of the town, but went to this temple?"

Wang Xi nodded and said, "Yes, according to the traces he left, it should be here." It's just that Mang Gurtai's men and horses have also arrived here, everyone must be cautious and don't act rashly!"

After everyone discussed, they were about to sneak up the hill and sneak into the temple, when they suddenly saw a fire in the temple, shouting and killing, mixed with the sound of gold and iron, resounding late into the night.

Luo Yangxing said in a deep voice: "Since the fight has already started, there is no need for us to sneak around, it is important to save people, just rush forward!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, jumped up together, unfolded their own methods, and quickly rushed towards the Huilong Temple on the mound.
