Chapter 9 Lingjiuping Kangfang Lane

Li Xuan hid in the tree hole, but saw a beautiful woman inside, although both of them were very surprised, they dared not speak out.The tree hole is not big at all, and the corners of the clothes should not be exposed to attract others to find out, so they had to hug each other tightly.The woman seemed shy and turned her back to Li Xuan.Li Xuan pressed close to her, his face was scalding hot in the dark. After a while, the sound of people and horses gradually receding, Li Xuan was about to ask a question, when he heard a light sound from the treetops, and a person jumped down from midair.I saw this person with upturned nostrils, half bald hair, thin and dry yellow, like a female ape, and she was the golden mother among the four ugly women.

Jinmo's mother called softly into the tree hole: "Cheng Wen." Before the woman could answer, Jinmo's mother suddenly saw a man lying on top of her, thinking that someone was belittling Cheng Wen.She has been taught by her master since she was a child, and she hates the behavior of men bullying women the most, and she can't help being furious.With ten fingers like hooks, she grabbed Li Xuan by the back of the collar with her left hand and pulled him out. She raised her right hand in the air, wanting to punch him hard in the chest. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xuan shouted anxiously: "It's me, don't do anything!" Jin's mother also saw Li Xuan's face clearly through the moonlight, and she wondered: "Hey, why is it you?" At the same time , Li Xuan also exclaimed: "Why did you come here?"

At this moment, a few guards patrolling the street saw someone from a distance, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to violate the night ban? Stop and don't move!" You know, if you violate the night ban, you can be fined with a whip or fined. To prison overnight.These people all had their own serious problems, and they were not willing to stop and let the guards arrest them. Mother Jin carried Cheng Wen out of the tree hole, ran away with Li Xuan, and fled into the ancient temple. This ancient temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and a corner of the main hall has collapsed. Inside, there are more than a dozen wooden statues of gods lying on the ground.The statue of the main god has long disappeared, but there is a huge sarcophagus lying in the middle, revealing a very strange atmosphere.

Li Xuan seemed to see a black figure flashing past and drifting to the small courtyard behind. The figure of this person was vaguely familiar, is it Granny Ji?Unlike, it seems to be the back of a man, but he can't remember where he saw it for a while. Those soldiers were just patrolling the streets as usual, and when they saw that these people had disappeared, they didn't care to investigate carefully.Li Xuan and the others hid behind the sarcophagus and quietly asked each other about their whereabouts during this time. It turned out that in the Five Soldiers God's Cave, many golden petals appeared in front of Jin Momu's eyes, and then her body went limp and she passed out.When she woke up, she found that she was lying in the thatched hut in the mountains with her three junior sisters. All this was like a big dream.

Mother Jin nudged the three junior sisters, and Yin Wuyan, Tong Dongshi and Tie Mengguang also gradually woke up.When several people talked about it from beginning to end, they were all very surprised.Two days later, Jin Mo's mother was thinking about Li Xuan, and went to the grotto seal to look at it silently. She was hesitating whether to find a way to uncover the seal stone and continue to explore again. Suddenly, she heard the noise of people. Monks also come here. This Huifan sealed Li Xuan and others in the grotto to return to their orders, but Princess Taiping said coldly: "You have to see people when you live, and you have to see corpses when you die. You have been doing things for so many years, why are you so ineffective this time? Go quickly!" Cut off the man's head and present it. If you hadn't followed me faithfully for many years, I would suspect that you let him go on purpose."

When Huifan heard this, he couldn't help sweating, although he had reported to the princess that someone was going to instigate him to make trouble, and confessed to Princess Taiping in the secret letter: the reason why the Bishamen contacted him was precisely because of his His father is also a descendant of the former general of Bishamon.But that's all the old calendar, and he has no such intentions. However, now that Princess Taiping said these words, it seems that she is still deeply suspicious of him, Huifan is very frightened at the moment, so he gathers some more people to come here again, not for fighting, but just to move the hole as soon as possible boulder.He fully thought that even if Li Xuan and the others did not die, they would be dying of hunger.

Unexpectedly, when Huifan came here, he caught a glimpse of Jinmomu at a glance, and couldn't help being shocked. The surprise in his heart was by no means inferior to that of Jinmomu.He secretly groaned in his heart: since this ugly female monster can get out of trouble, then Li Xuan must also run away, what should I do? The group of Hu monks under Huifan, who call themselves "Eighteen Arhats", saw that Jinmomu was ugly, but she was a woman after all, so they immediately surrounded her and tried to catch her, but unexpectedly Jinmomu was extremely agile, and suddenly pulled out The close-fitting short knife cut off the wrist of a Hu monk who rushed up to grab her with his teeth and claws.The other "arhats" didn't dare to be careless any more, they swung their wrought iron Zen sticks and beat Jin Momu.

There are many enemies, and Jin Momu is hard to resist after all.Fortunately, there are many big trees in the mountain forest. Seeing that the situation was not good, she fought and retreated. She came to the side of the big tree, took out a pair of gold silk gloves from her bosom, put them on, and jumped onto the tree trunk.The ten fingertips on the front of the glove are finger cots made of fine steel, so that the golden mother seemed to have a pair of sharp claws, and she quickly climbed up the big tree like a civet cat. The Hu monk from Tianzhu was about to cut down the tree, but he saw Jin Momu, taking advantage of the elasticity of the branch, jumped lightly, and then jumped onto an adjacent tree.The group of Hu monks were so angry that they shouted "Aww".

Seeing that everyone had no bows and crossbows, Huifan couldn't help Jin Momu for a while, and was worried about Li Xuan's whereabouts, so he ordered everyone to stop and went straight away with a group of monks.It turned out that Huifan saw that Jin Mo's mother was waiting here, and thought it was a deliberate arrangement. Li Xuan must have escaped far.If you continue to fight with her, you will inevitably fall into the trick of "tune the tiger away from the mountain".So they hurriedly withdrew, and ordered the monks to guard the main roads in the mountains within a radius of ten miles and search closely.

Unaware that the sky was getting dark, Huifan and others searched for half a day, but found no results, so they had to leave angrily.Huifan thought, if he returned empty-handed like this, Princess Taiping would definitely become suspicious. If the princess said that he deliberately let Li Xuan escape, what should I do? He rolled his eyes and thought of a poisonous plan.I saw a teenage firewood collector carrying a large bundle of firewood on the mountain road in the distance and was about to go home. After Huifan stopped him, he hurried up.The boy's face was sweating, he didn't know what was going on, Huifan's eyes showed fierceness, he pulled out the crescent moon sword made in Dashi country, and with a slap, he cut off the boy's head, he took out the leather pouch, put the head in, I thought: when I go back, I will report to Princess Taiping that Li Xuan has been killed, and the princess doesn't recognize him anyway.

Huifan went back to Deshanzhuang, but Wu Chongfu said that Princess Taiping had something to meet Linzi King Li Longji.It turned out that Princess Taiping received a secret report from Shangguan Wan'er, saying that Emperor Zhongzong was instigated by Queen Wei and ordered the Wei family to lead the Habayashi Wanqi.She was very anxious, so she hurried to find Li Longji to discuss countermeasures. Hearing this, Hui Fan was not in a hurry, thinking that the longer the delay, the more blurred and unrecognizable the head in his skin would be, wouldn't it be better! Hui Fan returned to Zhongnan Villa anxiously, but she didn't know that Jin's mother quietly followed her all the way, and she also came to the red wall beside the villa.It turns out that Jin Mo's mother has developed love for him since she and Li Xuan experienced the catastrophe in the grotto together.Seeing Huifan searching the mountains, she was very worried that Li Xuan would be captured by them. Jinmo's mother was strictly taught by her master since she was a child, not to have the slightest affection for men. She knew that the attitude of being more concerned about Li Xuan had greatly violated the school rules, but she excused herself: Didn't the master tell you in the letter? , can't let him run away or die!When I do this, I follow my teacher's order. With this thought in mind, Mother Jin became confident again.She followed Hui Fan and the others from a distance, but she didn't see the scene of Hui Fan killing the woodcutter indiscriminately.When she came after her, she saw only a headless man's body lying in the valley, and she was even more frightened.Although he didn't look very much like Li Xuan when he got closer, he was still worried, so he quietly followed him all the way to Zhongnan Villa. The entrance of the villa is guarded by many guards in golden armor, which is as heavily guarded as the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.Jinmo's mother didn't dare to force her way in, seeing the red sun sinking to the west, the crows making noise, and the night was about to fall.Mother Jin walked hundreds of steps around the vermilion wall, trying to find an easy place to climb, so that she could find out in the dead of night. Jin Momu lay down in the long grass, took a few mouthfuls of the steamed cakes she brought with her, and waited quietly.In the cold night wind of early winter, the grass and trees rustled, the brightest stars in the sky began to twinkle, and the crescent moon was like eyebrows, which was very beautiful. Jinmo's mother remembered that she occasionally went to the village in the mountains. At this time, there was smoke everywhere, and the village women were busy cooking hot meals, letting the men who returned from the fields and the children who came back from herding cattle After a full meal, the family talked and laughed happily. In an instant, Li Xuan's figure appeared in front of her eyes again, and a thought that she dared not even think about came up in her heart: If I can marry Li Lang and ask for nothing else, just like Chai Mi in those villages How wonderful it is to live as a husband and wife! Just as she was thinking wildly, she suddenly saw a sound coming from the wall in the distance. Mother Jin took a peek and saw a woman wearing a maroon brocade and butterfly-patterned pleated skirt, looking like a princess maid, carrying a package, flipping over the wall. out.I saw that she was very clumsy, she didn't look like a person with martial arts. Sure enough, she accidentally pulled off the glazed tiles on the wall, and a few pieces of rubble fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and then someone shouted: "Who is it? Hugh has to escape!" The woman was so flustered that she staggered and fell off the wall.Regardless of the pain in her body, she got up and ran forward desperately, but two burly men in soft armor jumped out of the wall, they were very agile, and quickly chased after her.The woman was terrified, she tripped over the withered vines under her feet and fell to the ground, the two big men pinned the woman down like eagles holding a finch, one of them kicked and kicked the woman with curses. Jinmo's mother had listened to the theory that men were all bad things instilled by her master since she was a child. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help being furious.As soon as she jumped up, she came behind the two guards. One of them just heard something strange, and suddenly turned around. Before he could see the mother of Jin, the steel armor on her glove cut off the throat of her neck precisely. .The other man had only half drawn out the knife from his waist when the short knife in Jin Momu's hand pierced his chest. Seeing the girl prostrate on the ground, unable to move for a while, Jin Mo's mother carried her on her back, not daring to explore the villa again, and hurried away far away.Arriving in a secluded valley, the woman said in a hoarse voice that her name was Cheng Wen, and she was a maid in the villa. She only made some minor mistakes and was about to be beaten to death, so she escaped.She knelt down and kowtowed, begging Mother Jin to take her back to Chang'an City. It is not too difficult to send this girl into Chang'an City, but Jin Momu's master originally ordered them not to set foot in the city, this is a serious violation of the precept.Cheng Wen saw Jinmo's mother was hesitant, so she opened the package and saw a lot of jewels inside, such as gold pots and bowls, which were dazzling.She took a big golden pot to give to Jinmomu, but Jinmomu refused to accept it. Seeing Cheng Wen crying again in anxiety, Jin Mo's mother suddenly thought: I will quietly send her back to Chang'an City, who knows?During this period of time, Jinmo's mother's "evil thoughts" were rampant, like a dam bursting. At first it was just a small ant nest leaking, but in the end it became more and more difficult to control. With the help of Jinmo's mother's dexterity and Cheng Wen's familiarity with Chang'an's neighborhood, the two managed to bypass the Jinwu guards patrolling the streets.But as soon as she came to Chongyifang, she saw from a distance a BMW car that seemed to be Princess Taiping galloping towards her, which scared Cheng Wen into a pale face.She hastily directed Mother Jin to this remote ancient temple, which is known as the "blood basin looking in the mirror", and few people have ever approached it.In the middle of the night, no one came, unexpectedly they ran into Li Xuan. Li Xuan and Jin Mo's mother briefly told each other about their experiences, and suddenly Li Xuan remembered that the back just now seemed to be the sloppy Taoist in sackcloth and white hair he met on the Weishui Bridge when he first entered Chang'an City! It was him, it was him, it was just seeing him that this series of strange things happened.Thinking of this, Li Xuan jumped to the backyard of the ancient temple, only to see that there were overgrown weeds and fallen branches.To the west is a strange stone pagoda. This stone pagoda is very tall, almost ten feet high, like a treasure gourd. There are five lanterns hanging on the top, two yellow lights and three red lights. Facing the stone pagoda on the east side, there is a statue of a god on the back. This god is wearing armor and a crown, holding a stick in his right hand and holding the pagoda in his left hand.When Li Xuan saw it, he was struck by lightning. This was exactly the appearance of the God statue shown to him by Taoist Mai Yi at that time, and he had seen it again in a Buddhist hall in the ghost house in Anyi! Jinmo's mother and Cheng Wen also followed at this time, seeing Li Xuan in a daze, Jinmo's mother asked the reason, Li Xuan explained it in detail, Cheng Wen became frightened when she heard this, and pulled Jinmo Mother's hand, signaling to leave this place as soon as possible.Li Xuan was also a little apprehensive, several times he narrowly escaped death, could it be that he had such good luck every time? It's just that Li Xuan and Jin Momu are not familiar with Chang'an City at all, and they don't know where there is a better place to hide.Cheng Wen, however, had a plan in mind, and suggested that everyone take refuge in Pingkang Fang in Chang'an City first, and then quietly leave the city until dawn. This Pingkangfang is where the prostitutes gather in Chang'an City.Among them, the prostitute houses lined up along the wall of the square are all rough prostitutes with mediocre appearance, and the houses are also poorly displayed.The most famous ones are the prostitutes in the south and the middle, which are called "Nanqu" and "Zhongqu".The courtyard here is full of exotic flowers, as well as strange stone basin pools and winding corridors with ancient vines.On the elegant pavilions, there are many famous prostitutes who look like immortals and are good at singing and dancing.Some famous courtesans are extremely dignified and dignified, many sons of noble families in Chang'an spend a lot of money, just have to drink a few cups of tea facing each other. The reason why Cheng Wen came to this place was because every house in Chang'an City was closed at this time, only this place was still open to welcome guests, and the noise was like daytime.The three of them turned seven times and eight times, and arrived at a building in Nanqu covered with green bamboos in front of the door. They saw red lights hanging high under the eaves, but the rich doors were tightly closed. Cheng Wen knew that in a situation like this, either there were already customers booking the restaurant, or the famous prostitutes in the restaurant had been picked up by the kings and grandchildren to have fun.She whispered a few words in Li Xuan's ear, Li Xuan nodded, and went to knock on the door as she said. After a long time, I saw a ten-year-old girl open the courtyard door, followed by a forty-year-old fat madam, twisting her fat buttocks, came out with a smile and said: "This guest officer, I have offended you so much today. My mother Run has passed away." I was picked up by the son of Chang Shilang's family to stay with me, please come back another day." Li Xuan said: "We just want to borrow a room for one night, and prepare some wine and dinner for us. I don't want to find your mother." At this time, Cheng Wen opened the package and took out a golden wine glass Handed over. The madam was very surprised: I have been in Fengyuechang for many years, and I only heard of people who bring their own drinks with meals, but I haven't heard of people who come to brothels to bring their own women.She nibbled on the gold cup with her teeth, and she was sure that it was made of real gold. She thought that whatever happened to them, as long as Jinbao got it first.Immediately agreed with a smile on his face, and shouted to the little girl: "A Yuan, hurry up and take these... three guest officers to Yushui Pavilion to rest." The old bustard didn't see Mother Jin at first, but when she saw the three of them went to Yushui Pavilion together, she was even more surprised: I thought at first that this young man had kidnapped the young lady from your family who had a crush on her, and came out for a private meeting. Follow up with an ugly man?This woman looks gentle and quiet, she must be a lady from a good family, she is willing to sleep with two men, it is really a world, it is not surprising! It turned out that Jinmao's appearance was very ugly, and the clothes on her body were sewn randomly by herself, not according to the difference between men and women. In the dark night, if you don't have time to look closely, you can't help but mistake her for a man. The three entered the room and sat down, lit tall silver candles, and just about to talk about things, the madam knocked on the door and said, "Guest officer, do you want some wine and food? I have good sake here, even Gaochang wine, Persian three We can also get you Lejiang, betel juice wine from Linyi Kingdom, and palm leaf wine from Heling Kingdom. By the way, I just bought a jar of dark and shiny dragon paste wine the day before yesterday. The taste is rare in the world! The spectator is a wealthy nobleman, so he must be interested in trying it?" That time Li Xuan followed Granny Ji to eat all the delicacies in Wei Wen's mansion, but did not drink.Hearing the names of so many fine wines now, Li Xuan couldn't help but salivate, but then he thought that in a dangerous situation, drinking alcohol is the most likely to cause trouble, so he forcibly suppressed the idea of ​​drinking, shook his hand at the madam, and said: "We I have business to do, don't drink, just eat." The madam sneered inwardly and said: You two men and a woman visit this place late at night, if you have any serious business to do, I think it's all evil.He didn't say much at the moment, and ordered the servants to bring ten dishes quickly. Although they were far less exquisite than Wei's, they also had chicken, duck and fish, which were very rich. The three of them hadn't had dinner yet, and they were already hungry at this time, so they all raised their chopsticks to eat, feasting on it.While eating happily, he suddenly heard someone banging on the door forcefully, the sound was very hasty, everyone was startled, Li Xuan quickly blew out the candle. In the dark, everyone listened attentively, only to hear the bustard opened the door and said: "General Suo, my Runniang has been picked up by the son of Chang Shilang's family to stay with me." But General Suo cursed in a rough voice: " Pickled dog lady, you hid Run Niang last time, but it was hard to hide it from me. Now I don’t believe it. Just now, when I saw that the lights upstairs were on, they hurriedly turned them off. Upstairs?" The bustard hurriedly apologized and said, "The upstairs is really not my Runniang, but the guests are up there!" The rough man smiled instead of anger: "Your Runniang is not up there, what are the guests doing up there? Is this an inn and restaurant? ?” The bustard stammered, “No, I brought a little lady on top!” There was only a "bang", and then the bustard howled like a pig, thinking that it was General Nasuo who kicked the bust to the ground.Then I heard General Suo scolding: "Don't entertain me here, I must put Runniang to bed today!" Then I only heard the footsteps chaotic, it seems that this person has brought a lot of followers. General Suo kicked open the door of the Yushui Pavilion, and a few attendants held up the lantern. Under the light, General Suo saw that although there was a woman, but it was not Run Niang, he was a little disappointed, but then he said leeringly: "Hehe, this The little lady is also good, come on, bring me to the house!" Mother Jin heard this, and was about to explode when she saw General Suo and the two attendants twitching at the same time, and their appearance became very terrifying. Put out the lantern?" Then the eyes were straightened, and blood slowly seeped from the eyes.Just hearing a "plop", the three people fell at the same time, and the lantern fell to the ground and was crushed out. In the darkness, the three of Li Xuan could only smell a pungent smell of corpses, Jin Momu took out a fire pocket from her arms, and lit the candles on the table.She and Li Xuan went up to have a look, and saw General Suo and the other three, their complexions were black, deformed and festered, as if they had been poisoned by some strange poison.But when the three of them came up, they were full of energy and looked good, and they didn't hear any abnormal noises. How could they be poisoned without anyone noticing it? Under the flickering candlelight, everyone was surprised to find that the corpses of these three people decomposed faster and faster, turning into three puddles of black water in less than a stick of incense.Li Xuan and the others were astonished, they didn't dare to stay any longer, they hurried downstairs, wanting to leave here. Unexpectedly, the gate has been tied by a strand of bloody hair, which is exactly the same as what Li Xuan saw in the ghost house in Anyi!The courtyard was very quiet, there was no sound at all, where did the madam and the servant girls in the brothel go?All of a sudden, there was silence everywhere, but there seemed to be endless murderous intent buried in this silence, which made people's hair stand on end. Several people looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do, when suddenly the lights came on in the pavilion, and two blind servants in black were standing around holding green gauze lanterns, and a white-haired Taoist in sackcloth stood leaning on the railing in the middle, it was Li Xuan who lived in Weishui River when he first entered Chang'an. The man seen on the bridge.Li Xuan's heart was beating wildly, as if he had found a mysterious key, he was both frightened and happy. Under the light of the faint green candle, the face of the Maid Taoist appeared very solemn and terrifying.His eyes swept over the faces of the three people one by one, and suddenly shouted: "Mom Jin, why did you go down the mountain without permission? Have you forgotten your master's admonition?" "How do you know my name?" Mother Jin said without fear, "You're not my master, so it's your turn to teach me! I don't want to listen to you!" Mai Taoist held up a gold medal with a crested head in his hand, and said coldly: "Has Xu Fenggu ever told you that seeing this medal is like seeing her in person?" Jinmo's mother was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she was afraid of Master. She heard that the Taoist priest in sackcloth actually knew the name of Master, and she didn't dare to act violently anymore, so she stood there in a daze. Taoist Mai Yi stared at Cheng Wen again, and said, "Little lady, come here!" Li Xuan and Jin Mo's mother shouted at the same time: "What are you doing? What are you going to do to her?" The Taoist priest in linen took a lantern from the black-clothed blind servant, jumped down from the pavilion, raised the lantern to Cheng Wen's face, and said with a cold smile: "You are eager to protect the flower, but it's a pity that she is actually a man." As soon as this remark came out, Li Xuan and Jin Mo's mother were shocked at the same time, and they turned to ask Cheng Wen what was going on.Cheng Wen hurriedly knelt down and saluted everyone: "I am indeed a man, but there is a reason for this, and I didn't deliberately deceive you. I hope you will forgive me." It turned out that this Cheng Wen was Zhang Wenfang who was taken captive by Princess Taiping to be her male favourite. But Zhang Wenfang was caught by Princess Taiping and taken into the villa. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he was like a bird in a golden cage, and he was not allowed to be free. In addition, the princess' moods and anger were unpredictable, and she was always worried, fearing her life.So he always wanted to find an opportunity to beg Princess Taiping to let him go out. But Wu Chongfu, the manager, often threatened him that unless the princess spoke first, if he asked to leave, he would be regarded as disgusted by the princess and would die a miserable death.There was a boy who was crying and wanted to leave before, but just in time for the princess to be irritable for the past two days, she threw him into a big stone mortar for pounding rice and beat him to death. Zhang Wenfang was even more frightened after hearing this.Fortunately, in the past few days, Princess Taiping heard that Queen Wei's tribe had taken over the power of the imperial army, and she was impatient. She was busy with military and political affairs all day long, and had no intention of "calling" him.Huifan also took away many warriors guarding the villa to chase after Li Xuan, and the defense in the villa was extremely lax for a while. Zhang Wenfang saw the opportunity, and saw a tiger-skin black flower stone beside the east wall of the villa. Climbing on this big stone, he measured that he could also climb over the wall.He secretly calculated in his heart that if he rushed out like this, he would be discovered if he couldn't reach the wall.So I thought of the method of disguise. There are many maids in the villa, and there are many things such as makeup, hairpins and hairpins.Zhang Wenfang secretly stole a set of women's clothes, put them on carefully in front of the mirror, and plucked out his eyebrows to look like distant mountain eyebrows, and escaped when the sky was getting dark. In a blink of an eye, he saw the golden pots, golden bowls and other items displayed in the room, and thought that Princess Taiping knew that she was going to escape, and if she was caught, she would die, so she just kept going and stole these golden utensils, so as not to escape. After going out, there is no livelihood to live, and it is even more difficult to hide.With this in mind, I stuffed these things into the package and took them out with me. However, when the sky was getting dark, he quietly slipped past the wall with sparse flowers and trees.When he was about to climb over the wall, he was still discovered by two guards in the villa. If Jin Momu hadn't just rescued him, he still couldn't escape. The Taoist in Mai frowned, and asked again: "You really only brought some gold utensils and nothing else?" Zhang Wenfang said: "There is absolutely nothing hidden. If you don't believe me, you can search carefully." The Taoist in Mai waved his hand: "It's not necessary, but I'm wondering why Princess Taiping sent a master to capture you so quickly. Is it worth it for just a few golden pots and bowls?" It turned out that Wu Chongfu, the butler of Zhongnan Villa, saw that Zhang Wenfang was able to kill the guards and escape, and he complained for a while.But at the same time, I thought, anyway, the princess will always blame her, so this meal is indispensable.Damn, I can't bear the board on my butt in vain, so I simply took the sheep and stole a sandalwood box inlaid with treasures from the princess's study, and said that Zhang Wenfang stole it too. When the sandalwood box was opened, Wu Chongfu was dumbfounded. It turned out that it was not jewelry, but the secret letter between Princess Taiping, Li Longji, Shangguan Wan'er and others.Although the words were cryptic and elegant, although Wu Chongfu didn't fully understand it, he knew that it was a very important secret.This was a great disaster, and he wanted to put it back, but the seal had been torn, and he was drenched in cold sweat. Princess Taiping came back from the palace, this shock was no small matter, she usually kept this sandalwood treasure box in the most secret place, today she was in a panic and forgot about it, what if the secret documents in it were made public?Therefore, she urgently ordered Huifan to lead people to catch Zhang Wenfang and recover the treasure box. Zhang Wenfang thought he had escaped, and Princess Taiping would not care too much about it, but unexpectedly, he "quickly dispatched experts" to arrest him, and was so frightened that he knelt down in front of the Taoist priest in sackcloth, and saluted: "The Taoist priest is merciful, and I hope I can help Xiaosheng for a while." Life." Mai Taoist was noncommittal, and said to Li Xuan in a blink of an eye, "Grandma Ji asked you to hide in the army, why didn't you follow her instructions and escape without permission?" Li Xuan then told the story of being cheated out of money when buying goods. Taoist Mai Yi smiled slightly after hearing this, and said to himself: "It's really naughty!" Li Xuan was startled when he heard this, he thought that the Taoist priest in sackcloth would scold him for being stupid, but he didn't want to say such a sentence, he was very puzzled.Then I thought, this sentence does not seem to be talking about myself, so is someone playing tricks on me?Could it be that He Lanjing? The Taoist in linen clapped his hands a few times, and the blind servant in black lit up five red Kongming lanterns, which slowly rose into the night sky.Only then did the three of them understand that there was a tall tower in the backyard of the dilapidated temple, and there were yellow and red lanterns hanging on it, which seemed to be used to transmit signals. As for the specific meaning, outsiders did not know. The Taoist pointed to Li Xuan with his hand, and said: "Follow me." Li Xuan was startled, and asked, "Where are you going?"Li Xuan suddenly felt depressed. He had been teased and manipulated by others all the time. Now the arrogant expression of the Taoist man in sackcloth caused an unknown fire in his heart, and he said boldly: "My life is in your hands. There is no reason to listen to you, what is the reason?" As he said that, Li Xuan took two steps back, putting on a posture of desperately trying to do his best.The Taoist in Mai Yi took a look, smiled instead of anger, and praised: "You are courageous, you are worthy of being a nobleman." His tone softened a lot, and he said, "I have always been sarcastic, and I didn't mean to despise you. Please follow me Meet someone very important." Only then did Li Xuan feel relieved. He glanced at Jinmo's mother and Zhang Wenfang, and said, "Then what should we do?" Mai Taoist said, "Princess Taiping's people are searching everywhere, so it's best to be here, I have arranged Let me help you." He pointed at Zhang Wenfang, "You are temporarily pretending to be a woman and claiming that you have leprosy." Then he waved the gold medal with the crested head to Jinmo's mother and said, "You disguise yourself as a man and guard here until dawn Later, I will send someone to inform you of Master's instructions." In his words, there is a kind of majestic demeanor, which makes people have to obey.Although Jinmo's mother was a little reluctant, this person seemed to have a deep relationship with Master, and he had a gold medal with the crested head, so he had no choice but to obey. Then, Mai Taoist mouth seemed to say a series of spell-like words, everyone could not understand, but those blind servants in black acted at the same time, carrying lanterns and lined up to lead the way.Taoist Mai Yi took Li Xuan's hand and walked to the depths of the lane together.
