Hua Bushi smiled: "I can't go back from the mountain gate anymore." If this young master is not mistaken, the Guiling Pavilion is located in the southwest corner of the Taoist temple, not far from the viewing wall, we only need to go around and climb over the wall to go to the front of the pavilion. ”

Liu Yuanhe couldn't help frowning. He was born in the "Shaolin faction" with very strict rules and regulations, and he is also a famous Baidao person, and his behavior has always been bright and upright, and he has never done such a thing as climbing over the wall to enter the courtyard at night, and this time he is going to climb over the wall of a temple full of Taoist aunts.

Hua Bushi knew what Liu Yuanhe was thinking, and said, "If Elder Liu is unwilling to climb over the wall, it doesn't hurt to go back now, and the exploration of the Guiling Pavilion will be done by Young Master Ben and Ah Tong." ”

Liu Yuanhe had insisted on coming to track the enemy together, but now how could he just go back like this, hesitated for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, Liu will just climb over the wall with Young Master Hua!"

Hua Bushi said: "Okay, then let's go quickly!"

He looked at Liu Yuanhe's appearance, smiled leisurely, and said: "I'm just going to investigate the enemy's traces, not going over the wall to pick flowers and rob colors, Liu Chang honestly doesn't need to be nervous." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuanhe's old face turned even redder.

Since the Lingdu Temple is not too big, it is not too far to go around from the outside of the view wall to the back of the view.

The trio left their horses in the woods and walked on foot. At this time, it was already dark, and the woods were even darker, and there was no lantern to illuminate, and it was inevitable that one foot deep and one foot shallow when walking, only the princess of the big white dog was born with extraordinary talents, and there was nothing to hinder in the dark night jumping in the dense forest.

After tea time, the three of them and one dog had walked several miles and came to the back wall of the Taoist temple. The wall is made of bluestone, eight feet high, although it is not short, but for the master with light skills, it is not too difficult to climb over the wall.

Hua Bushi raised his head and looked at the wall a few times, and said, "According to the direction, this wall should be the Guiling Pavilion." Ah Tong, you take me over with you, Elder Liu, please take the princess over the wall. ”

This vicious dog young master actually asked him to take the dog to jump over the wall!

Liu Yuanhe's heart was another wall, but seeing that Ximen Tong had jumped into the wall with Hua Bushi, he had to reach out and pick up the big white dog, kick up nine feet with both feet, and fly over the wall with light skills.

Hua Bushi's estimation of the position was very accurate, Liu Yuanhe landed on the masonry ground inside the wall, and he had already seen that not far in front of him was the Guiling Pavilion that he had passed by during the day, and there were no other figures in the four corners.

This pavilion is in the corner of the Taoist temple, it is relatively remote, and it is the storage place of the ancestors' spiritual position, and those Taoist aunts must not come if they have nothing to do.

"We passed. Hua Bushi beckoned and said in a low voice.

Although the Guiling Pavilion is not as majestic as the other halls in the Lingdu Temple, it is also two or three zhang high, and the outer wall is blue and black in the dark night, which seems quite mysterious.

The two gates of the pavilion were closed, and a large bronze lock half a foot long hung from the knocker, which the three had seen when they had passed by.

Liu Yuanhe's internal strength is strong, and of course his hand strength is not small, but he knows that it is not easy to forcibly twist such a thick copper lock, but seeing Hua Bushi took out a thin steel wire from his pocket, stuffed it into the keyhole and poked it a few times, only to hear a soft "click", and the big copper lock was opened.

In addition to not knowing martial arts, this evil dog young master has a lot of other crooked ramp skills, and even the skills of such a ninth-rate thief can actually do it! Liu Yuanhe secretly wondered in his heart, he didn't know that Hua Bushi was the heir to the mantle of Xiao Hatshui, the "Jiangnan Flower Picker", and of course it was not a problem to open an ordinary copper lock.

Taking the copper lock from the knocker, Hua Bushi stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and Ximen Hitomi stepped forward and walked into the door. The room was dark, I don't know if there will be an ambush, Hua Bushi doesn't know martial arts, so it's safer to go in by Ximen Tong first.

After a few breaths, Ximen Hitomi's voice came from inside the door: "There is no one inside, come in!"

Liu Yuanhe, Hua Bushi, and the princess entered in turn, and after entering the door, Hua Bushi turned around and covered the two gates, and then stretched out his hand to light the fire.

The inside of the Guiling Pavilion was very spacious, and under the firelight, I saw that there was nothing in the four corners, only a four-foot-high bluestone platform in the middle of the lobby. Sure enough, there were a lot of wooden spiritual tablets on the stage, and there was a bronze incense burner in front of the stage, and in addition to the candlesticks on the table, there were several porcelain plates, which were supposed to be used for sacrificial fruits.

It's just that the incense in the incense burner has been extinguished early, and there are no candles on the candlesticks, and the porcelain plates are even more empty, and there is nothing in them.

The Lingdu Temple was built since the Tang Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty has passed nearly a thousand years, and the abbots of the past dynasties in the view have presided over no less than fifty or sixty people. There are dozens of spiritual tablets on this stone platform, different sizes, and what is written on it is the Taoist name and surname of each generation of the master.

Liu Yuanhe came to the stone platform and said: "The Jingyue Guan Lord seems to know the etiquette very well, but he doesn't know how to worship the ancestral spiritual positions in the temple, and he is placed here coldly, and there is not even a person who lights incense and candles, so I am afraid that it will be rare to come here once in a few years." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Elder Liu's words are wrong, although there is no incense and candles here, it is not unattended. You see, the stone platform and the wooden table are completely free of dust, and the floor is very clean, because it is often cleaned. ”

Liu Yuanhe stared at it and said, "What this is saying is, since she knows how to clean, why doesn't she offer some incense?"

Hua Bushi said: "The reason for this is difficult to guess. ”

At this time, I suddenly saw the princess lying in a corner of the palace, and let out a low roar of "woo" at the ground.

The Great White Dog was quite excited when he passed by the Guiling Pavilion earlier, if Hua Bushi hadn't stopped it in time, its reaction would definitely have made the Silent Moon Viewer find out, which was also the reason why Hua Bushi regarded this Pavilion as a suspicious point. This time when it entered the pavilion, it raised its nose and sniffed everywhere, and at this time it was lying on the ground, as if it had found something.

Hua Bushi walked forward quickly, called the princess away, squatted down, bent down on the ground to take a closer look, and Ximen Hitomi and Liu Yuanhe also walked over.

By the light of the fire, Hua Bushi looked at it with his cheeks close to the ground for a while, and suddenly asked, "I wonder if Elder Liu has any research on the ambush of the mechanism?"

Liu Yuanhe shook his head and said, "No, it's just some carving insect skills." ”

As a decent person in Baidao and a senior brother of a Shaolin layman, he has always been disdainful of sneak attacks and plots such as ambushes, just like Hua Bushi's thief trick of picking locks, it is quite polite to say that it is a "small skill of carving insects".

Hua Bushi sighed and said, "The gap between the bluestone floors here is slightly wider than in other places, and there are some slight abrasion marks on the stone, so there must be a secret door passage under this ground." Young Master Ben doesn't know much about the ambush of the mechanism, and Elder Liu has no research, so we have to find a way to open the mechanism, and it will not be easy to open this door. ”

Ximen Hitomi said: "Since we can't find the switch, why don't we simply smash the stone with our fists?"

Hua Bushi said: "The noise caused by that is too loud, and I don't know if there is an alarm connected under this secret door, if you forcibly break the stone and trigger the mechanism, it will definitely startle the snake." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Unless you can shatter this stone slab with an inch of effort, maybe you won't touch the alarm mechanism under the stone." ”

If Zhu Hong is here, his "Shaking Mountain Palm" is powerful and strong, and he will be able to instantly shake the stone slab, although Ximen Tong's hand kung fu is not weak, but "Yanqing Fist" is known for grasping with his fingers, but it is difficult to do this.

Liu Yuanhe suddenly said: "There is a 'Xuankong Boxing' in Shaolin martial arts, specializing in short and short inches, Liu has also practiced for a few years, although the fire is not deep, it may be possible to shatter this stone slab." ”

"Xuankong Fist" is one of the "Shaolin Seventy-two Stunts", famous in the rivers and lakes, Hua Bushi knew it, heard the words of great joy, said: "This slate does not seem to be too thick, as long as the 'Xuankong Fist' is practiced to six or seven minutes of fire must be able to shatter." ”

Hua Bushi gently tapped the ground around him with his knuckles, pointed to a stone slab and said, "This is the entrance to the dark passage, and Elder Lao Liu sent out his fist to shatter this stone slab." However, you must be careful after the stone is broken, and it is best to retreat as soon as possible, and it is not known that there may be a hidden weapon shot out under the stone slab. ”

He spoke and stepped out of the way.

Liu Yuanhe stepped forward, glanced at the stone slab, clenched his right hand into a fist, put the fist on the slate, and took a deep breath. But seeing that the cuffs of his shirt were windless, he had obviously transported his whole body's true qi to his fist.

He paused for a moment, then suddenly his eyes flashed, and his right fist retracted a few inches, and then struck back at the stone slab, while his mouth let out a "Wow!" sound.

Liu Yuanhe's exhalation was not too loud, and the punch on the stone slab was almost silent, as if he was powerless, and the stone slab did not even shake.

However, after a few breaths, many small cracks suddenly appeared on the bluestone, which was not unusual, and then it turned into pieces, and it fell into the hollow under the stone slab, and a large hole suddenly appeared in the ground.

Liu Yuanhe smashed the stone slab with a punch, and did not retreat according to Hua Bushi's words, but only stood on the ground and stared into the hole. When all the rubble was gone, I saw that inside the entrance of the cave was a stone staircase going down.

When he saw it clearly, he walked down the stone steps.

Hua Bushi originally wanted to remind Liu Yuanhe to be careful, there might be danger in the cave, but thinking that this elder of the "Luohan Gate" was very conceited, even if he said it, it would be useless, and when he saw him enter the cave, he had to follow with Ximen Tong.

This stone step went straight to Xiangxia, and after walking more than ten steps, Liu Yuanhe could no longer go down, because there was an iron gate blocking in front, and the iron on the door was about the thickness of a thumb, and the big iron lock hanging on it was eight or nine inches long, more than twice as thick as the copper lock on the gate of the Guiling Pavilion before.

With such a large iron lock, Liu Yuanhe couldn't break it, and he could only let Hua Bushi perform his secret skills again.
