The people sent by Wang Haoxian to monitor the Bodhi Temple, there were more than 50 people in the light and dark, mainly concentrated in front of the temple and on both sides, and there were more than a dozen people in each place. But behind the temple, there were only two people, these two wood-gatherers on the hillside.

This is not to say that Wang Haoxian thinks that the temple is not important, on the contrary, it is the place they value the most.

There are not many secret whistles arranged here, because Wang Haoxian not only doesn't want people to find out about the abnormality, but also hopes that someone can enter the temple from here to connect, and it is best to say that the people in the temple have moved and intend to rebel. Only in this way can he become famous, justifiably eliminate the second brother, and completely pull out the thorn in his heart!

However, three full years have passed, Wang Haoyi has hardly left the temple except for occasionally going out to buy drunk, and his honest duty is not true, but it is true. Moreover, no one entered the temple through this specially left opening behind the temple, and it should be said that no one has appeared in this area for several years.

The people who used to go to the hillside from time to time to collect firewood have disappeared for no reason. Only these two men were left behind the temple, collecting firewood day after day, rain or shine.

It seems that they have been working diligently without complaint, but in fact this is not the case. They were two masters of the Incense Smelling Sect, and they were appointed here at the same time, and they knew very well that the Young Sect Master attached great importance to this place, and they knew the great responsibility, so they were particularly dedicated, because it meant that once the task was completed, the future would be bright.

But spring went to autumn, winter was warm and summer was cool, and three years passed, and they did not see anyone except birds, wild cats and wild dogs. The excitement and excitement at the beginning have been washed away by time, and in the end, all that remains is numbness, slackness, and even some anger and resentment!

They began to resent why they had been chosen to carry out this idiotic task in the first place, so that they had delayed three years of good time here, and they resented why the second son in the temple had really fallen like this, without even revealing the slightest trace of rebellion. After the resentment, there was despair, and they began to wonder if the important task they had previously thought they had entrusted was misunderstood, and that the real purpose of the young sect master was actually to exile them, so that they would slowly rot on the slope of the hill behind the Bodhi Temple like scattered dead leaves, like withered wild flowers, and like ripe wild fruits that fell to the ground, until they died.

They weren't sure how long they would last, and the boredom, despair, and helplessness made them go crazy.

Until today, someone finally showed up.

Looking at the two people who appeared for the first time in three years, their bodies couldn't help but tremble and burst into tears. In order to control themselves and not reveal their identities, the two of them even picked up the dead branch and stuffed it into their mouths to bite it, so as not to cry out too excitedly. The flame of hope was rekindled, and so was the fighting spirit.

Seeing that the two of them successfully climbed over the wall and entered the Bodhi Temple, they finally put their minds at ease and immediately divided labor. One stayed behind to continue monitoring, and the other hurried to the temple to inform the second protector Liu Chun.

The Great Protector Liang Zilong is in charge of monitoring the eldest prince in Dawangzhuang, and the second protector Liu Chun is in charge of this place. However, on weekdays, Liu Chun rarely arrives here, and even if he comes, he only asks a little and leaves quickly. The temple has been like a pool of stagnant water for three years, which has indeed made Liu Chun lose interest. However, as the 10th anniversary of the Church is approaching, Liu Chun has been coming to Bodhi Temple very frequently recently, and his stay has been getting longer and longer.

In front of the Bodhi Temple, there is a spacious street, lined with small stalls and vendors, stretching for miles, very lively. Bodhi Temple is the second largest temple in Shifokou, the natural incense is vigorous, the people who come to worship are endless, and there are many people who do business outside the temple to make a living.

Diagonally opposite the tall and magnificent temple gate, there is a tea house, called "Qingliu". The tea house is of good grade, elegantly decorated, and quite quiet. Believers from afar are tired and thirsty, and they always have to find a place to rest, and I have to say that this tea house is located in an excellent location and should be the first choice for tea drinkers.

But this is not the case, since the tea house changed owners three years ago, business is not more prosperous, but outrageously light, often a day or two can not wait for a customer to come to the door. Even so, the tea house still opens and closes its doors without any impact, and runs its own business, as if the owner here doesn't care about profitability at all, all he cares about is opening every day.

Today, there was a guest in the "Qingliu" tea house early, this person had gray hair, a big grin, a bold appearance, his eyes were worried, with a faint smell of wine, and his face was faintly flushed, not like a tea guest, but more like a drunkard who had just woken up after a night of hangover.

He entered the tea house, and before the tea could be served, he was already asleep on the chaise longue snoring loudly. In other tea houses, this person's rude behavior would have been stopped, but the shopkeeper of the "Qingliu" tea house didn't seem to care about this, and even deliberately turned the fire on the stove even more, and instructed Xiao Er to carefully cover the person with a blanket.

All this, as strange as it seems, is actually ordinary. This is because the "Qingliu" tea house became the industry of the Wenxiang sect three years ago, and it was specially used as a base to monitor the Bodhi Temple. And the sixty-year-old man who was hangover and snoring loudly at the moment was Wang Haoxian's second protector Liu Chun.

To be honest, three years have passed, and Liu Chun doesn't believe that the second son will still have the heart to fight for religious power, and always feels that the third son is worrying about the sky. But he also knows that the third prince is a cautious person, but also a conceited and suspicious person, and his decision cannot be disobeyed. Therefore, these days, Liu Chun will come to the "Qingliu" tea house every day and spend a day here.

Last night, he was drunk and dreamed of death in the "Wenxiang Courtyard" in Luanzhou City, drank too much wine, and was too drunk to work, but he still woke up in the early morning and rushed to the "Qingliu" tea house. Although he is a good drinker, he understands more clearly that it is not easy to be one of the four protectors of the three princes, and he can be described as a high and powerful position in the sect, and he must not ruin his good future because of dereliction of duty.

Therefore, even if he is hangover and does not wake up, he must insist on coming here, staying here, and sleeping here.

As soon as he fell asleep, Liu Chun was awakened. It was very uncomfortable and irritable to be disturbed by drowsiness, so Liu Chun was very angry. Those who are familiar with him know that the more angry he is, the calmer he will be, and then the person who offends him will be unlucky!

Seeing that Liu Chun opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were cold, his face was solemn, and he didn't say a word, the incense master who came from behind the temple couldn't help but shudder, he knew very well that if he couldn't say a reason to satisfy the second protector, then he would definitely end up in a very miserable end.

Therefore, he did not hesitate, opened his mouth and said: "After... Someone is coming from behind!"

Liu Chun's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and he bounced up from the recliner, and the blanket was lifted to the ground. He picked up the teacup on the table, didn't drink it, and poured the cooled tea directly on his face, in order to make himself more sober. Then, he stretched out his hand and patted the incense master who was still palpitating, and said warmly, "Well done!

Only then did the incense master make sure that the second protector was not angry with him, so he couldn't take a breath, and hurriedly followed Liu Chun to the back of the Bodhi Temple.

Gao Jie and Wang Rui easily climbed over the high wall of the backyard of the Bodhi Temple and entered the temple.

Wang Rui said softly: "Let's just come in like this?"

Gao Jie shrugged and said, "Otherwise?"

Wang Rui said: "You didn't see the two people on the uphill slope?"

Gao Jie nodded: "It's hard not to see, isn't it?"

Wang Rui said: "So... ”

Gao Jie said: "What?"

Wang Rui couldn't help but say: "You're pretending to be stupid, aren't you?!Can't you see that there is something wrong with those two people?!"

Gao Jie chuckled and said, "Okay, I was wrong! Second brother don't be angry, you are right, those two naturally have a problem!"

Wang Rui nodded with satisfaction, and then arrived: "Then why don't we solve them first and then come in?"

Gao Jie shook his head and said, "No! Maybe this will be better!"

Wang Rui didn't understand, and before he could ask again, Gao Jie had already taken the lead and stepped into the apse in the backyard.

This apse, called "Veda Hall", is the largest Buddha hall in the Bodhi Temple except for the main hall.

The Bodhi Temple is famous in the north, in addition to its vast area and magnificent construction, but also because its main hall houses a two-and-a-half-meter-high bronze Buddha with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, which is breathtaking.

And the "Vedic Palace" that Gao Jie entered has a lot of fame, all from the statue of Vedic that he is facing at the moment. This statue is about one meter five high, carved by the precious Nan wood, the appearance of the Buddha is hideous, lifelike, holding the vajra, a demon in the world.

Looking up at this Buddha statue, Gao Jie and Wang Rui couldn't help but have a little respect, bowed together, and bowed three times.

Subsequently, Gao Jie walked around the hall and found that there were very few incense candles and incense in this hall, as if no pilgrims had come for a long time. Moreover, the main hall was empty and silent, and not a single monk could be seen.

The two of them felt strange, and suddenly someone said slowly, "Who are you, and how did you get here?"

Gao Jie turned his head to look and saw a sixty-year-old monk holding a broom in his hand, standing on the stone steps outside the hall and watching them vigilantly.

Gao Jie hurriedly left the hall, came to the old monk, and said: "We came from afar to ask to see the second son!"

When the old monk heard this, his expression became more and more nervous, his gray eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he said coldly: "The backyard has been forbidden for outsiders to enter for three years, how did you get in?!"

Wang Rui said loudly: "You old monk, no matter how we came in, quickly lead us to see Wang Haoyi!"

The old monk was unmoved, staring at Gao Jie and the two with his eyes, and said coldly: "The second prince is concentrating on cultivation, and he doesn't see outsiders, so you can retreat quickly!"

Wang Rui said: "I waited for a long journey, and finally arrived here, how could I leave without seeing Wang Haoyi?"

The broom in the old monk's hand paused on the stone steps, and said sharply: "If you don't leave, don't blame the old monk for being rude!"

Gao Jie hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't do it yet, old monk, it seems that you don't look like a real Buddhist person, you want to be the second son's guard, right?! We have no bad intentions, but we came to find the second son on the order of Xu Hongru and have something important, can you please help inform me?"

The old monk was stunned, and then shouted: "My second son-in-law is dedicated to enlightenment, and he doesn't care about mundane things, even if you are sent by Doctor Xu, and you have a relationship with my son-in-law." Please get out of here!"

Wang Rui said angrily: "You old monk, you can't get oil and salt, I just said it, if you can't see Wang Haoyi, we won't leave!"

The old monk's white eyebrows raised, and he said coldly: "The charm of the ghost, you dare to spread wild here, then let the old monk come to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon!"

With that, the broom in his hand suddenly flipped over, picked it up high, and brushed it down towards Gao Jie and Wang Rui.
