On the second day, Li Shulan and Xiao Jiyuan arrived at Hongjue Temple as planned.

Hongjue Temple is located in the ancestral hall mountain of Jiangning, this is a temple that was built in the second year of Liang Tianjian in the Southern Dynasty, the name of Hongjue Temple at first was called "Buddha Cave Temple", Hongjue Temple was changed later, Hongjue Temple is backed by Niushou Mountain, facing Yuntai Mountain, the scenery is excellent, it is a good place for Buddhism to chant and worship Buddha.

Today, Xiao Jiyuan is very happy, he pulled the car with Li Shulan, and chatted with Li Shulan non-stop along the way.

Xiao Jiyuan said: " Inside this Hongjue Temple, the most famous building is the Hongjue Temple Tower, it was built in the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty, the legend is that Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty dreamed of the tower at night, woke up in the morning and ordered to build the Hongjue Temple Tower, later, the tower was destroyed, now this tower is rebuilt in this dynasty, the Hongjue Temple Tower has seven levels and eight sides, the height of eight zhang is more, each side of the tower opens a pot door, two small windows, each layer picks out the carved wood cornices, this tower belongs to the brick imitation wood structure, is a magnificent pavilion-style ancient tower, climb to the top of the tower, the scenery of the southern suburbs of Nanjing City is unobstructed, legend, there is a dungeon built under the Hongjue Temple Tower, and there are mysterious treasures hidden in the dungeon。 ”

When Xiao Jiyuan said this, he was stopped by Li Shulan, and Li Shulan asked: "When did the legend you said about the mysterious treasure hidden under the ancient pagoda start to spread, and is it possible that this legend is true?"

This legend has been circulating for a long time, I don't know when it began to spread, but at least it was handed down from the previous dynasty, the people who are familiar with this legend not only have monks in the temple, and, there are many old people in Nanjing City, although I am not sure that this legend must be true, but it is completely possible that the underground palace was built below when the tower was built, many temples have underground palaces under the tower, and there are Buddhist objects hidden in the underground palace, according to the small look. There is considerable truth to this legend. Xiao Jiyuan said.

Li Shulan thought: "There is a dungeon under the pagoda in the temple, this is a common thing, there is such a legend in Hongjue Temple, it is likely that there is a dungeon under the tower, no matter whether there are any mysterious treasures hidden in the dungeon of this tower, but this legend is very useful." I want to borrow this legend to make the people who follow me think that I am playing the idea of the underground palace under the tower, so that the people who follow me will lose their true direction, so that they can use more energy and time to explore the underground palace under the tower, and in the end, they will definitely find out that they have been fooled. ”

"Hongjue Temple Pagoda has these legends very good, let's go to the pagoda to visit, there are mysterious legends must attract many people to visit the pagoda. Let's take a closer look, we must stay there for a little more time, so that those who follow us pay attention to our actions, they must be very interested in the underground palace under the Hongjue Temple tower, and we can use the legend about the underground palace under the tower to attract their attention. Li Shulan said.

"Li Gongzi, I know that you are using a clever plan, you want to use the legend to add a mysterious atmosphere to our visit to Hongjue Temple. Let the people who follow us pay special attention to our actions in front of the tower, and lure them to keep an eye on the dungeon. Guess the mysterious treasures in this dungeon, and hang their appetite for snatching treasures, is the little one right?" Xiao Jiyuan asked with great interest.

"You're right, you're very smart, you guessed what Ben Gongzi thought, think about it. These two stalkers have been following us very hard, running a few monasteries with us, of course we shouldn't be too stingy with them, we should give them some benefits, that's interesting enough. And the benefit they want is to discover our 'mysterious' behavior, and suspect our idea of fighting the dungeon, such news is very important to them, and they can report it to their master when they have such news. Li Shulan said with a smile.

"Yes, we have to treat them well, Li Gongzi's idea is very good, since they are very interested in following us, we should naturally let them know some 'secrets', let them see our 'mysterious' behavior in many monasteries, direct their attention to the temples, let them toss, Li Gongzi is a plan. Xiao Jiyuan said.

"Well said, these two followers must have been ordered by their own sons to follow us, the purpose is to know what Ben Gongzi is doing in these monasteries, they suspect that Ben Gongzi is exploring what treasures in the temple, so this son wants to accompany them to put on a good show, so that our behavior is closely related to the mysterious buildings or objects in the temple, so that the people who follow us think that we are exploring treasures, if they are convinced that our behavior in the temple is related to treasure exploration, they will definitely pass the news to their masters, and this is exactly the effect that this son wants, so that the people who follow and their masters come to these temples to explore, and let's go elsewhere, in this way, it will be difficult for them to entangle us anymore, to be honest, this son is already very tired of being followed by them, if these people continue to follow us, our actions will not be free, we must let them play by themselves, stop getting in the way of us!" Li Shulan said.

"Li Gongzi, the little one understands, the little one will remember your words, let's go, go to the Hongjue Temple Tower!" Xiao Jiyuan said, speeding up his pace.

Visiting the Hongjue Temple Tower, Li Shulan and Xiao Jiyuan spent a lot of time, they burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, watched around, and specially invited a senior monk to accompany them.

Li Shulan asked the monks to explain the history of Hongjue Temple, and especially asked about the story of Hongjue Temple Tower, and the monks were very happy that they cared so much about Hongjue Temple and Hongjue Temple Tower.

The monk explained the story of Hongjue Temple very carefully, and accompanied Li Shulan to carefully observe the various parts of the tower, and this is exactly the effect that Li Shulan wanted.

Li Shulan knew that the longer she stayed in the Hongjue Temple Tower, the more she would be able to attract the attention of her followers. Li Shulan deliberately looked around, she asked the monks to take them to the tower to visit, she did this deliberately to make the stalkers guess that they came to Hongjue Temple for a special purpose.

Sure enough, as Li Shulan expected, the two stalkers also arrived at Hongjue Temple, when Li Shulan and Xiao Jiyuan were watching the Hongjue Temple Tower, these two stalkers hid in the distance and secretly observed, they paid close attention to Li Shulan and Xiao Jiyuan's actions, they must have thought that Li Shulan came to Hongjue Temple, not just to burn incense and worship Buddha, but to come to the treasures buried in the temple.

Several hours passed, Li Shulan felt that the time spent in the Hongjue Temple Tower was almost over, and he asked Xiao Jiyuan to lead her to visit various places in the Hongjue Temple, and they went in every building in the Hongjue Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and carefully observed the Buddha statues and objects in the building.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's dusk. At this time, Li Shulan felt that it was time to leave Hongjue Temple, and she asked Xiao Jiyuan to get rid of the person who was following her like she did last time.

The road is very smooth, Xiao Jiyuan's technique of pulling the car is very skilled, according to Li Shulan's requirements. got rid of the stalker and sent Li Shulan to the "Wangliu Pavilion".

Xiao Jiyuan left, Li Shulan entered the inn, and while she walked on the stairs of the inn, she was thinking about going to Qingliang Temple tomorrow.

Soon, Li Shulan entered the guest room, she pushed open the door and walked towards the back chair, she wanted to sit on the back chair and rest. But, of course, when she approached the chair, she was startled by the scene in front of her.

On the back chair, an elegant and beautiful woman sat upright, smiling at her.

"Sister Shulan, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you've finally come back, haven't you seen who I am?" said the elegant woman.

Li Shulan was surprised when she heard this. She thought: "Except for Xiao Jiyuan, no one knows that I live in this 'Wangliu Pavilion'. Even the Yashan faction doesn't know, how did this elegant woman know that I live here, and how could she know my name?"

Li Shulan looked carefully at the elegant woman's face, and she suddenly found that the beautiful woman who was sitting on the back chair was the left protector of the "Heavenly Bamboo Sect".

"Sister Aolei. You startled Shulan, how could it be you? Shulan never dreamed that you would appear in the 'Wangliu Pavilion', this is so amazing!" Li Shulan said happily.

"You're wearing good makeup, if you hadn't asked in advance you lived here. Your dashing son's dress, my sister must not recognize it at all, no wonder even Sect Master He praised your makeup skills for being very clever, and it was really amazing, this dress, I'm afraid it will fascinate many beautiful women, hehe!" said Ao Lei with a smile.

"Sister Aolei, don't make fun of Shulan, it is a last resort to make up like this, in order to facilitate walking on the road, you quietly, Shulan has become a half-man and not a woman, how ugly, besides, Shulan is no matter how well she dresses up, she can't escape Sister Aolei's keen eyes, you not only recognized Shulan, but also found Shulan's residence to sit and wait for Shulan, you let Shulan dress up as a man in vain, Sister Aolei is really a smart person!" Li Shulan said.

"It's not so easy to find you, Ao Lei spent a lot of effort and a lot of effort to find here, you hid it well, I won't tell you, my sister used it this time." Tianzhu Sect's several informants only learned about you, if it weren't for these informants, it would be really very difficult for my sister to find your residence, you know very well in your heart, there are already some people trying to find your residence, but they can't find it, and the people who are following you have also been eliminated by you, your coachman is good, he is very loyal to you, is he a member of the Yashan faction?" asked Ao Lei.

"No, he is a cart master who Shulan temporarily found when he went to visit Qixia Temple, his name is Xiao Jiyuan, this person is sincere, after he took Shulan to several temples, Shulan and he became good friends, he has nothing to do with the Yashan faction, he is an ordinary coachman. Li Shulan said.

"He doesn't look like a coachman, he has a strange posture on him, he doesn't look like an ordinary person, his eyes show a very persistent look, and Ao Lei thinks that the Yashan Sect sent him to protect you. Ao Lei said.

He is indeed an ordinary coachman, Shulan has understood, he will not hide his identity, however, it is not surprising that my sister has this view of Li Jiyuan, Shulan also thinks he is a little strange, a few days ago when I went to the temple tour, a senior monk saw him, insisted that he had a fate with the Buddha, and concluded that he would make great merits in the future, Xiao Jiyuan listened to it and was very worried that the monk would let him become a monk, he was very worried and said to the monk that he wanted to take care of the wife and son of the family, and would not enter the temple, and then the monk told him, saying that although he had a relationship with the Buddha, he did not have to become a monk, and did not have to enter the temple as a monk, Xiao Jiyuan was more at ease。 Li Shulan said.

"This person is a little strange, maybe he will have a deep fate with Sister Shulan, and he may be able to help you do great things in the future, you have to be better to him. Ao Lei said.

"Shulan has regarded Xiao Jiyuan as a good friend, he can be trusted, I hope he can make great merits as the monk said, I hope he can do some chivalrous things for the martial arts, okay, let's not talk about him, let's talk about you, Sister Aolei, why did you come here?

Ao Lei thought for a while, and after that, she said: "At first, Ao Lei walked out of the 'Funeral Valley' to do an important thing, and later, before the matter was done, I thought of you, and now I came to you on purpose, and my sister has thought of some ways to find you, otherwise, where can Sister Shulan be so easy to find!"

Li Shulan heard Ao Lei say that she came to her on purpose, which made her question, she thought: "Sister Ao Lei is the left protector of the 'Tianzhu Sect', and the most powerful assistant of the sect leader He Zihan......, she is not easy to walk out of the 'Burial Valley', this time out of the valley, she came to me on purpose, and she can find me in this 'Wangliu Pavilion', what is she doing this?
