Volume II: The Case of the Red Lotus in the Ancient Temple Chapter 50: The Returning Temple
The sky soon became dark, and when the bright moon hung in the night sky, Duan Ming finally returned to Brahma Temple.
He did not encounter any dangers along the way. Perhaps even the thieves did not expect that Duan Ming would have the courage to return to the Brahma Temple.
"Thank you for your escort!" Duan Ming hugged the soldiers and said, "It's getting late now. You can rest here for the night. There are still many rooms."
"No." A young soldier shook his head and looked at the Brahma Temple in the night: "We still have to go back and report to the general, and we don't dare to delay at all."
"Okay then." Duan Ming nodded, got off his horse, and handed the reins in his hands to the young soldiers: "Then I won't give it away. Please be careful on your way back."
"Okay." The young soldier nodded and waved his hand.
Several soldiers then drove their horses and ran into the distance.
Watching the young soldiers leave, Duan Ming took a deep breath, looked at the mountain gate hidden in the night, and walked up step by step.
Soon, Duan Ming arrived at the gate and knocked gently on the mountain door.
Soon, a Mirror officer opened the door. When he saw Duan Ming outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly welcomed him in.
Not far away, several soldiers hidden in the woods saw this scene, and then they pulled the reins and really left.
Being welcomed in by people from the Mirror Division proves that what Duan Ming said before is true and he is indeed from the Mirror Division.
In this way, they can go back to work.
On the other hand, Duan Ming walked into the Fanxing Temple, but did not go straight to the North Courtyard where the Mirror Secretary lived. Instead, after looking around for no one, he took the Mirror Secretary to a secluded corner.
"I don't know what to call this official?" Duan Ming asked in a deep voice.
"My subordinate Lin Yixuan is not worthy of being called Mr. Duan." Lin Yixuan said hurriedly, cupping his fists.
"Brother Lin, I understand." Duan Ming patted Lin Yixuan on the shoulder: "Don't tell anyone about my return this time, not even Lao Xing, you understand?"
"Ah? This...if Commander Xing knew about this..." Lin Yixuan suddenly showed a troubled look on his face.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Duan Ming said, "Even if Lao Xing finds out, he won't blame you."
"That's... okay!" Lin Yixuan gritted his teeth: "I just obey orders."
"Brother Lin, please don't be a subordinate. I am not your superior." Duan Ming smiled and shook his head: "By the way, what happened here after I left?"
"Report to Mr. Duan." Lin Yixuan said: "After you left, the criminal commander first conducted a thorough investigation of everyone in the Mirror Division, and then ordered us to secretly seal off the entire temple to search for clues."
"Well, what happens next?" Duan Ming asked.
"Then it was gone." Lin Yixuan recalled.
"Okay, go back to your post. Remember, don't tell anyone that I'm back!" Duan Ming thought for a moment and said.
"Yes!" Lin Yixuan nodded, and then left.
Duan Ming stood there and pondered for a moment, looked around to see if there was no one around, and then quietly hurried toward the east courtyard.
Soon, Duan Ming arrived near the east courtyard, but Duan Ming did not get too close.
After all, even Princess Li Waner of Pearl Princess has a master like Mr. Meng by her side. How could the Master of Wangji Hall of the Immortality Sect not have a master by his side?
Approaching rashly will have no effect except to scare the snake away.
Time passed by minute by second, and the entire east courtyard was like a ghost courtyard, without any sound.
However, Duan Ming was very patient. He hid in the dark and remained motionless, just waiting quietly.
Finally, the hard work paid off. At around three o'clock in the morning, a figure quietly approached the east courtyard.
The figure moved very carefully, wearing a black cloak and a pair of monk boots, and was observing the surroundings with extremely vigilant eyes.
Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was indeed waiting for it.
The reason why he didn't let Lin Yixuan tell others that he was back was just for this moment.
On the way back, Duan Ming had been thinking about it. In fact, in this game, they were ahead of each other every step of the way, and they had a slight advantage every time.
However, the other party's remedial speed was too fast and the remedial methods were too ruthless.
Whenever they find a little clue, the other party would rather kill someone than completely cut off the clue.
But the Immortality Sect is a latecomer after all, and they still have to be wary of the Mirror Division here, so it is difficult to make any big moves.
If this is the case, then there must be an internal response within the temple.
But today, as soon as he left, the opponent sent people to chase and ambush him, proving that he should be quite important in the opponent's heart.
Then after I leave, the situation here will undergo subtle changes, and all subsequent plans will have to be adjusted.
In other words, the other party is likely to meet in the near future to discuss how to deal with the Mirror Division next.
And this time cannot be delayed for too long, after all, Xing Qianqiu is not that easy to deal with.
Coupled with the "thorough investigation operation" mentioned by Lin Yixuan before, the current Spiegel Department does not have much energy to pay attention to this.
Therefore, tonight is the most likely time for them to meet.
But now, Duan Ming guessed it right.
However, it was dark at night and he couldn't tell the other party's true identity, but it was enough.
Judging from the opponent's body shape, obese monks and short monks can be eliminated directly.
In this way, the scope for doubt is reduced a lot.
Now, it's just a matter of seeing if we can find more clues.
The figure quickly walked to the door of the east courtyard, looked around, then gently opened the door of the east courtyard and walked in.
Duan Ming did not show his body, just stayed in the dark and waited quietly.
Soon, the figure walked out of the east courtyard and left quickly along the path.
Duan Ming thought for a moment, then looked at the gate of the east courtyard, and then quietly followed the figure.
The figure's speed is not fast, it can even be said to be a bit slow, but the other person seems to be very familiar with everything in this temple and can always avoid those patrolling.
Duan Mingyuan was not familiar with the situation here, and he was gradually distanced.
Soon the figure returned to the west courtyard.
Duan Ming was thoughtful for a moment, and when he was hesitating whether to enter the west courtyard to continue the investigation, he suddenly heard a small scream.
It seemed like someone was shouting as his mouth was covered.
Suddenly, Duan Ming stopped hesitating and walked over quickly.
Duan Ming quietly climbed over the wall and jumped into the west courtyard. He hid behind a big tree and looked around, but saw nothing.
Duan Ming frowned slightly, believing that he definitely heard that voice.
Just when Duan Ming was hesitating to go out, a figure suddenly stood up from the bushes not far away... This chapter has been completed!
