Chapter 439 Chapter Five Compassion

Under the blue light of the night pearl, a stone step extends down the secret passage under the futon, leading to a small secret room about a square meter in length. Knowing what Kou Zhong joked earlier, the arrangement was just for changing clothes and changing appearance. The wall facing east is the entrance to the secret passage, it is only five feet high, and a majestic man like Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong must bow his back and bend his knees to walk through it. Kou Zhong drilled into the secret room, sat down on the chair facing the mirror stand, looked at his own face in the bronze mirror and said with a smile: "All the equipment for disguise is available here, I just don't know if Lao Shi will pretend to be a ghost on a whim." Is a girl here to play?"

Xu Ziling entered the secret room behind him, glanced at the dark secret passage first, and said: "If you want to know the answer, you can open this clothes box and see if there are any clothes for your mother." On the other two walls, there are two large boxes against the walls, which are full of various forms of clothing when opened, and one of the boxes is actually the military uniform of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Kou Zhongxi said: "Tomorrow we will rely on these things, disguise ourselves and leave Chang'an." Xu Ziling said: "We'd better not touch anything here, then even if Shi Zhixuan comes back in the future, he won't know that we know the secret that he is the great virtuous monk."

Kou Zhong was surprised: "Do you think Shi Zhixuan will come back?" Xu Ziling said: "It's hard to say. Shi Zhixuan's reappearance in Jianghu after one year coincides with his annual Chinese New Year departure period. It can be seen that he is reluctant to part with the identity that he has worked so hard to build and create." Kou Zhongdao: "His dry Zen is a lie, alas! If we can't borrow his things, how can we go outside to meet people when we are covered in blood?" Xu Ziling sat on the box behind Kou Zhong, leaned against the wall of the room, and thought, "Do you think Yun Shuai can get away?"

Kou Zhongdao: "It all depends on whether he knows the trick. The Tang army is all restrained by us. Yun Shuai's lightness kung fu is really good. His ability to escape should not be inferior to ours. Why do you suddenly think of him?" Xu Ziling didn't answer him, but murmured: "Jianjian and Yuanji's search cannot continue endlessly, but it is easy to strengthen the city defense and send heavy troops to guard the city gate. Therefore, the best way to leave the city is still in the basement. The secret way out of the city." Kou Zhongdao: "That's the safest way, but it's not the best way. First of all, we can slip away without anyone noticing, and everyone will be suspicious. If there is no history of our mysterious disappearance in Yong'an Canal and later reappearance, Still not a problem. Now it is another matter. Besides, our responsibility is to deliberately distract everyone's attention so that they can get away with the golden treasure."

Xu Ziling stared at the Ye Mingzhu in his palm, and said, "Let's see where the exit at the other end is, and then think about how to do it?" Kou Zhong jumped up and said, "Good idea." The two used their ears to confirm that there was no one there, and then slowly pushed up the lid of the exit and opened it. When they looked around, they found a study room full of books. The secret path was longer than the two of them thought, with a distance of nearly ten feet. The abbot's room is located in the backyard of Wulou Temple, close to the east outer wall. Outside the wall is a side street about three feet wide. According to the distance, the study should be located in the courtyard across the street.

Kou Zhong whispered: "The people living in this place are more or less related to Shi Zhixuan." Xu Ziling moved to the window facing the Zhaimen, opened it a little, and looked out, the snowflakes were still falling, and there were people's hissing outside the courtyard wall, which showed that the search of this area was still in the ascendant. Kou Zhong came to his side and said: "The house-by-house search is just beginning, the team should be withdrawn after the search is over." There was knocking on the door from the neighbors, and someone shouted: "Pursue the criminal, open the door quickly!"

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "They should have patronized this secret courtyard of ours." Kou Zhong said happily: "They should be led to search again. If they find the secret way, the great virtuous monk will become a dog meat monk with a discredited reputation." Xu Ziling said: "Let's talk when we go back!" Back at the entrance of the secret passage, the faint sound of footsteps sounded outside the fight, the two of them were taken aback, just hearing the footsteps, they knew that the person who came was a first-class expert, and there were two of them. Fa flashed back to the secret passage.

As soon as the lid was closed, the Zhaimen was pushed open. An Long's voice sounded from above and said: "Those two boys were almost exhausted to death. There is a certain place where it is difficult to escape, but they escaped here. Ha, they should be doomed this time." Another woman's voice said: "Jiao Jiao is not as confident as Uncle Long, maybe they have already left the city." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling below were greatly surprised, they never expected that Rong Jiaojiao and An Long would hide here. It seems that even Anlong didn't know that there was a secret passage to the abbot's room in Wulou Temple, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Rong Jiaojiao here to speak.

Until now, they still don't know the relationship between Rong Jiaojiao and the Yinkui faction. But just looking at the close relationship between Rong Jiaojiao and An Long, it can be inferred that Laojunmiao should be more inclined to Shi Zhixuan's side. The relationship between the six sects of the Demon Sect is intricate and confusing. An Long said: "Xu Yan sent people to report just now, Brother Shi has won the contract, Jiao Jiao must leave Chang'an by boat tomorrow morning." Rong Jiaojiao said: "Will Master Uncle leave with Jiaojiao?" An Long lowered his voice and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so I need to stay for one more day."

Rong Jiaojiao said: "Does Master Uncle want to deal with Zhou Laotan?" An Long snorted coldly and said, "Zhou Laotan will never give up on Saint Relic. It will always be a disaster to keep him, not to mention Brother Shi's order. You are really in charge of the whole ring. After reaching the big river, throw it into the water to feed the fish. It's clean and tidy. Fall. Tianxie Dao will be finished from now on! Ah!" Suddenly there was the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and the two people below looked at each other, unable to believe their ears. At the last moment, they were called by their uncles and uncles, but at this moment Yaoyao Rong is already sitting in An Long's arms affectionately, and they know that Yaoyao Rong has a hand with Yang Xuyan, so it is even more difficult to accept this change.

Rong Jiaojiao gasped and said, "Jiaojiao can't help being excited when she hears the murder." An Long smiled obscenely: "I knew you were a slut, and I said seriously before that I wanted to find a secret place to talk, but I just wanted my uncle to comfort you." Both of them knew what An Long looked like at this time, and they felt sick when they thought about it, so they sneaked back to the abbot's room. Kou Zhongdao: "Do you want to kill An Long before leaving?" Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "At the moment, we can't protect ourselves. If we kill An Long, we won't be able to leave on the Rongyao girl's cheap boat, right?" Kou Zhongdao: "It's true, Rong Yaonv is a special person, with Yang Xuyan taking care of her, we can use this to pass the test, but it's no different from going through the secret path of the treasure house, it will still make people hate us. Doubtful behavior." Xu Ziling smiled and said, "It's not easy to attract people's attention. Stop talking nonsense, we still have some time, so we should gather our energy first, and then see where we can steal two decent sets of clothes, and then proceed with our feat of leaving the city. " In the early morning of the next day, everything in Chang'an City was getting old. There were no checkpoints on the streets to check pedestrians and vehicles, and the number of soldiers patrolling the city had increased significantly. In fact, it is loosening outside and expanding inside. The Tang army has a good reputation for not disturbing the people. Li Jiancheng is a person who cherishes feathers. He doesn't want Li Yuan and Li Shimin to be charged with this crime as soon as they leave the city. Yesterday it was a last resort, but today it is out of necessity. The more important reason is that the general arrangement of measures to intercept and search fugitives does not work at all against martial arts talents such as Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Therefore, Li Jiancheng decided to first strengthen the inspection of access by water and land, and on the other hand, from the open to the dark, he mobilized the local gang to pay attention to all suspects. Unless the two of them stay at home, they can't avoid his eyes and ears. The heavy snow stopped before dawn, and the entire city was covered with knee-high snow, which made it difficult for vehicles and horses to move, paralyzing the traffic. Everyone was busy clearing the snow, and the situation was quite chaotic. People who wanted to leave the city had to switch to waterways. The passenger and cargo wharf in Andingli at the northern end of the Yong'an Canal was crowded with people. If Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong wanted to dive into any of the ships moored at the pier under such circumstances, they would definitely be unable to do so. Fortunately, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they took advantage of the opportunity of the exhausted Datang soldiers to retreat before dawn, and hid on the boat first, waiting for Rong Yaonu's arrival. They didn't know whether this big boat belonged to Yang Xuyan or Rong Jiaojiao? Until last night, when An Long heard that Rong Jiaojiao was attacking Jin Huanzhen, at least he was sure that Rong Jiaojiao would return to Luoyang by boat. The two hid in Jinhuanzhen's cabin, and the sound of people coming and going could be heard outside from time to time, but no one entered the room to check. Xu Ziling came to the side of Kou Zhong who was watching the movement on the other side from the window, and said in a low voice, "Although this woman is not a good man or woman, she has never committed any serious crimes. Seeing her muddleheaded and tragic death, I always feel unbearable." Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said: "I've thought about this too, but when I think about her not doing any evil, it's because she has been suffocated by the Yin Gui faction these years, so she has no chance to do evil. If she is rescued, she will be Harm people everywhere, don't we have a lot of sins." Xu Ziling said: "After such a severe blow, her temperament may have changed a little bit. As long as we tell her that Zhou Laotan's life is in danger, she will definitely try her best to rescue Wen Fu. It will definitely cause Anlong a lot of trouble." Kou Zhong nodded and said: "I understand your feelings, let's try to wake her up first. If she is stubborn, we will knock her unconscious again and let her die on her own." The two came to the edge of the bed, Kou Zhong still did not take off the true colors of the "miracle doctor" Mo Yixin, stretched out three fingers to rest on her wrist veins. After a long while, I was stunned and said: "Awesome! This is the first time I have encountered this kind of acupuncture point sealing technique, it completely locks her true energy, her hands do not reach her elbows, her feet do not reach her knees. The running of blood revives." Xu Ziling said: "Is there a way?" Kou Zhong smiled and said: "It's just me, maybe there is no way, but we in Yangzhou are invincible in the world with two dragons, apart from the evil stuff like seven needles to control the gods, there is no way to tap acupuncture points and cut off the pulse that we can't solve. First Wake her up and talk." The two lifted her up from the bed, sat on both sides, stretched out their hands to grab her shoulders, and breathed in the air. After a while, Jin Huanzhen's delicate body shook, she opened her eyes, raised her drooping head, and was about to call out , covered it for Kou Zhong, leaned into her ear and said: "Don't make any more noise, we are here to save you." Jin Huanzhen's eyes rolled wildly, then he came to his senses and nodded slightly to express his understanding. Kou Zhong slowly moved his palm away. Jin Huanzhen was still very weak, and said with difficulty: "Who are you?" Kou Zhongdao: "I am Kou Zhong, he is Xu Ziling, have you heard of it?" Jin Huan really calmed down, nodded and said: "Of course I heard it, why did you save me?" Xu Ziling said: "Why did Miss Jin end up in such a field?" Jin Huan really listened to him calling himself Eldest Sister Jin, and she was very pleased. When Xu Ziling finished speaking, her eyes turned sharp, and she said through gritted teeth, "It was the damned Pi Chen who harmed us, I will definitely avenge Lao Tan." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned, and outlined the ins and outs of the matter in their minds. She and Zhou Laotan went to Pichen for help, but Pichen betrayed him, and even sent Jin Huanzhen to Shi Zhixuan as a favor. From this, it can be speculated that Pichen surrendered to the "evil king" Shi Zhixuan like An Long. Kou Zhong said: "Your Zhou Laotan is not dead, but if you still fail to find him before dusk, he will be dead!" Jin Huan's delicate body shook violently, and her eyes shot out a look of concern. Kou Zhong briefly explained, but before he finished speaking, Jin Huanzhen's eyes shed tears, and he said sadly: "Now my limbs are weak, I'm afraid I need someone to help me when I walk, how can I warn him?" Xu Ziling said: "As long as you promise not to kill innocent people from now on, it won't be difficult for us to help you recover your energy." Kou Zhong said solemnly: "If we find out that you have broken the promise, no matter where you hide in the ends of the earth, we will find you to settle the score. Since you know who we are, you should also know that there is nothing we can do." Jin Huan really whispered: "Why do you help me?" Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "I hope we can have an answer. Maybe this is some kind of compassion, everyone has it!" Jin Huanzhen smiled miserably and said: "It turns out that there are really good people like you in the world. The two of us are counting people all day long, but in the end we just count ourselves down, okay! I, Jin Huanzhen, will start from today, and I will never act rashly." Kill one person, or you will never be reborn. Your great kindness, my husband and I will repay you one day." Feeling her sincerity, the two of them stopped talking and slowly poured in their true energy to help her promote blood circulation and menstruation, and improve her skills. After an unknown amount of time, the ship trembled and finally set sail. The sound of footsteps sounded, reaching outside the bucket. Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong Lightning flew to the left and right sides of the cabin door, waiting in full force. Jin Huan really lay back on the bed, pretending to be in a coma. "Crack"! The door was pushed open. The two of them could already smell the fragrance of Rong Yaonu's body. At this tense moment, the sound of rapid footsteps approached from far away. Rong Jiaojiao stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" "boom"! The door closed again. The man's voice said from outside: "Miss! The captain who got on the ship insisted on inspecting the ship." Rong Jiaojiao said displeased: "Do they know that I am Dong Guifei's honored guest, to be so bold?" Her subordinates said: "They are very clear about our identities, and they keep apologizing, saying that it is His Royal Highness's strict order, and they must implement it." Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong secretly shouted loudly, only then did they know that every ship leaving Chang'an had Tang soldiers on board to search, there must be no problem, and they would disembark at the pass and let them pass. Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Search, just search! All they want to search are those two goddamned boys, and no one else will care." The footsteps go away. Jin Huanzhen sat up from the bed and said in amazement: "What should I do?" Kou Zhong smiled and said, "When we are exercising our muscles, Miss Jin should know what to do!" Jin Huan was slightly taken aback, she is also a daring person, she immediately showed a look of appreciation and a smile in her eyes, she nodded and said: "Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, they really are worthy of their reputation." Xu Ziling said: "If our guess is correct, the place where Anlong and Lingfu are dating is very likely to be the Lequan Pavilion in Beili." Footsteps sounded again, at least ten people, followed by the sound of the door opening. Kou Zhong laughed, then pushed the door open, Zhuo stood in the corridor and shouted loudly: "Who wants to find me, Kou Zhong?" Standing beside Rong Jiaojiao was Qiao Gongshan, seeing Kou Zhong suddenly, he was stunned in shock and forgot how to react. Rong Yaonv's face was pale, and her square inch was in chaos.
