Chapter 80 Chapter 78: The Phantom of the Ancient Temple

Coming out of the underground palace, Bai Xiaoyang's mood began to become quiet again.There is no moonlight, and the sky at night is dark blue-gray, and it seems that it will snow again. Zhaofeng walked in front silently, and Bai Xiaoyang followed behind.The Zhaoxia Temple has not been taken care of by the monks, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground have fallen layer upon layer, soaked in snow water, and have begun to show signs of rot, and the feet feel soft and slippery when stepped on. Just as Zhaofeng opened the gate of the temple, he saw a small figure squatting under the threshold of the gate of the temple. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be Tuo Guan.

Zhaofeng was taken aback, and asked, "You bastard! Why are you squatting here silently? When did you come here?" Bai Xiaoyang was also surprised, and said, "Why did Tuo Guan come here? Didn't you ask him to guard the hole exposed in the old forest?" At this moment, Tuo Guan stood up and gestured to Zhaofeng and Bai Xiaoyang, looking very excited. Zhaofeng gestured towards Tuoguan and said, "Don't panic, take your time if you have anything to do." Tuo Guan slowed down his gestures, babbling and babbling, but the expression on his face was still very excited.

Zhao Feng wondered, "Who told him that Tuo Zheng was arrested?" Bai Xiaoyang was also confused, and said, "How did Tuo Guan know what happened to Tuo Zheng so far away so quickly?" Tuo Guan was still gesturing, with a pitiful and urgent look in his eyes. Bai Xiaoyang said, "Tuo Guan wants to save Tuo Zheng." Zhaofeng said: "He is like this now, if you want to persuade him, you may not be able to persuade him." So Zhaofeng gestured to Tuoguan again, and said, "Who told you that Tuozheng was arrested here?" Tuo Guan made several gestures, but Zhao Feng didn't understand.Both he and Bai Xiaoyang were puzzled.

Bai Xiaoyang suddenly said: "Could it be that he used Tuo Zheng to distract Tuo Guan from the mountain?" Zhaofeng also reacted suddenly and said: "It's broken. If this is the case, someone who knows the details must have come." Bai Xiaoyang said, "Who?" Zhaofeng shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe you Wanzuzu knows." Bai Xiaoyang said anxiously: "Then do you want to tell Wan Zuzu now?" However, Zhaofeng lowered his voice, looked around Hei Meimei with vigilant eyes, and said, "Don't panic, I was worried that Tuo Guan might be followed when he came here just now."

Zhaofeng's words made Bai Xiaoyang alert immediately, and she followed Zhaofeng's eyes to look around. At the moment of being suspicious, the surroundings of Hei Meimei suddenly became jittery. The bamboos and trees around Zhaoxia Temple are lush and verdant, and even the hoarfrost in the middle of winter seems to be blocked outside, except for the silence, it is deep.Only the tops of the two divine beasts carved with large bluestones on both sides of the temple are covered with a light layer of cold frost, shining a cold light at night. Occasionally, the lonely and desolate cry of a bobcat came from the woods, which made people feel guilty.

Tuo Guan stared at Zhaofeng and Bai Xiaoyang with his yin and yang eyes, but there was a weird smile on his face. Seeing the weird smile on Tuo Guan's face, Bai Xiaoyang and Zhao Feng looked at each other, feeling strange. Zhao Feng asked Tuo Guan, gesturing, "You bastard, why are you smiling so weirdly?" Tuo Guan's weird smile became more and more obvious on his face. Zhaofeng raised his hand and said as if he was about to look down, "If you play tricks again, I'll fix you." Only then did Tuo Guan mysteriously wave to Zhaofeng and Bai Xiaoyang, and then walked towards the woods on the left side of the temple.

Zhaofeng and Bai Xiaoyang didn't know what Tuo Guan was up to, so they had to follow Tuo Guan. Tuo Guan led Zhaofeng and Bai Xiaoyang into the woods.The woods are so dark that you can't see your fingers, Tuo Guan seems to have a pair of night eyes, walking in the woods seems familiar. Zhaofeng knew the layout of this forest well, so it didn't take much effort to follow Tuo Guan. On the other hand, Bai Xiaoyang, as soon as he entered the woods, he seemed to be blind with his eyes open, stretching out his hands and groping forward like a blind man. In the darkness, Zhaofeng's hand reached out and grabbed her hand.Bai Xiaoyang sighed lightly.

After walking for a while, Tuo Guan stopped in front.Something seemed to be moving on the ground.Zhaofeng took out a match from his arms and polished it. The moment the fire was lit, he and Bai Xiaoyang saw a man tied up and thrown under a stone tablet at the same time. The bound man was dressed in filth and rags, his eyes were terrified, his mouth was tightly stuffed with a handful of leaves, and he could only make low whining sounds from his throat. Bai Xiaoyang said in surprise: "Why did Tuoguan tie the lunatic from Woniu Village here?" Zhaofeng was also confused, and was about to gesture to Tuoguan to ask why, when a cold wind blew through the woods, and the burning matchstick in his hand went out.

Zhao Feng quickly lit the second match, and Tuo Guan justly handed over a bunch of tangled rags, which exuded a strong smell of kerosene. Zhaofeng murmured, "You boy was already prepared, and your heart is more careful than mine." Zhaofeng found a stick, wrapped the kerosene-soaked rag, and lit it.The forest was lit up instantly, and it seemed that the ghosts and ghosts who had been quietly hiding around all of a sudden fled in all directions. Only then did Zhao Feng gesture to Tuo Guan and ask what was going on.Tuo Guan showed a complacent expression on his face, made a few gestures proudly, and then put his hands on his hips, looking a little smug.

Zhao Feng was puzzled and said, "How could a lunatic follow Tuo Guan?" The lunatic who was tied up by Tuoguan Wuhuada was none other than Zhang Zikun! Bai Xiaoyang leaned down at this moment, and said, "I don't think he is crazy, he is probably pretending to be crazy." While talking, he pulled out the leaf that was stuffed in the mouth of the crazy Zhang Zikun. Zhang Zikun took a long breath, with a weird smile on his face like a drama, and said to Bai Xiaoyang: "You are not a fairy! You are a fairy! You are a fairy! Hehehe..." Bai Xiaoyang frowned beautifully and said, "Stop pretending to be crazy, okay? I know you're pretending to be crazy. Tell me why you followed Tuoguan?"

Zhang Zikun still had an obsessive smirk on his face, and said: "You are the fairy! You are the fairy! You are the fairy sent by the Jade Emperor to save me! He is a monster! He is the grandson of Tuxing! Hehehe..." He said with his eyes facing Tuo Guan. Bai Xiaoyang looked up at Zhaofeng helplessly. Now Zhaofeng is also at a loss... Bai Xiaoyang said to Zhaofeng, "Uncle Zhaofeng, what should we do? Have you let him go?" Zhaofeng looked serious, and he fixed Zhang Zikun's eyes firmly. Zhang Zikun has been avoiding Zhaofeng's eyes, his obsessed eyes flickering.During this wandering and flickering, Zhaofeng seemed to have captured some kind of information, and he saw a kind of evasive sneakiness in the eyes of the lunatic Zhang Zikun! Zhaofeng suddenly yelled at Zhang Zikun: "Look at my eyes!" At this moment, Zhaofeng's voice suddenly became sharp and penetrating.Zhang Zikun shivered in fright at Zhaofeng's scolding. The smirk on his face disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were full of horror. Zhang Zikun looked at Zhaofeng in panic. Zhaofeng still stared into his eyes without blinking. Zhaofeng tried to penetrate into the depths of Zhang Zikun's heart through Zhang Zikun's scattered pupils, but what he saw in Zhang Zikun's eyes was pale and confused. The sneaky breath also disappeared.At this time, Zhang Zikun's pupils seemed to have a thin layer of mist, and Zhaofeng couldn't penetrate it. Zhaofeng squatted down a little disappointed, and began to loosen Zhang Zikun's mountain vines. Bai Xiaoyang said, "Uncle Zhaofeng, are you really going to let him go?" Zhaofeng said: "A lunatic, why tie him up? In such a cold day, if he is tied up in the middle of the night, he will freeze to death if he is not eaten by wild dogs." At this time, Tuo Guan was unwilling, and came up to pull Zhaofeng. Zhao Feng turned to Tuo Guan and said: "Unexpectedly, you are quite careful, but this time you are blind and careful, he is a lunatic." Tuo Guan seemed to understand Zhaofeng's words from Zhaofeng's lips, and stepped back with a disappointed face. Zhaofeng untied the mountain vines on Zhang Zikun's body, and Zhang Zikun suddenly stood up from under the stone tablet without restraint, turned around like a frightened rabbit and ran towards the depths of the woods, disappearing all at once. Bai Xiaoyang looked at Zhaofeng in confusion, and said, "Uncle Zhaofeng, why do I feel that he really doesn't look like a lunatic?" Zhaofeng looked at the direction where Zhang Zikun disappeared, and said: "If he is really pretending to be crazy and confuses my eyes, then his wisdom is beyond the realm that ordinary people can achieve. Then he must be a tall man." people!" Bai Xiaoyang said, "Is it as mysterious as you said?" Zhaofeng said: "The premise is that if he is really pretending to be crazy!" At this time, Tuo Guan gestured urgently towards Zhao Feng again. Zhaofeng sighed, and said to Tuoguan: "You man, maybe someone deliberately set a trap for you and waited for you to jump." Bai Xiaoyang said, "Tuo Guan really wants to save Tuo Zheng?" Zhaofeng said worriedly: "Do you think he can stop him now? Only I followed him. I was really afraid that someone else set him a trap, so I waited for him to jump. " When Bai Xiaoyang heard what Zhaofeng said, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said, "Uncle Zhaofeng, is the matter really as complicated as you said? Could it be that you and Wanzuzu are thinking a little too much? I just I feel that people's hearts are a little impetuous and chaotic now, but it's not like what you and Wan Zuzu said, it's a trap and a conspiracy." Zhaofeng glanced at Bai Xiaoyang, sighed, and said, "Xiao Yangzi, why don't you and I, Wanzuzu, wish this is not the case!" Bai Xiaoyang said again: "Are you really going to rescue Tuo Zheng with Tuo Guan?" Zhaofeng said: "Even if I don't go, Tuo Guan will go too. If I go with him, maybe there won't be any big trouble." Bai Xiaoyang was depressed. Zhaofeng said: "How about this, Xiao Yangzi, I will send you home and wait for us first. Tuo Guan and I will go to the Pan Family Ancestral Hall to have a look first. As long as they don't mistreat Tuo Zheng, let Tuo Zheng receive an education there. It's not a bad thing either." Bai Xiaoyang nodded.The three walked out of the woods one after the other.
