Chapter Seventy-Nine: Stealing Scriptures

As night falls, the bright moon hangs in the sky.

In Mingde Temple, a figure walked cautiously along the wall. The moonlight shone on his face. It was Ji Chengming.

There are many monks in Mingde Temple. Although the guards are not strict and there are no patrols, it is still easy to be discovered if you are not paying attention.

Moreover, the location of the Sutra Pavilion is not close to the wing where pilgrims like them live, and there is a Mahavira Hall in the middle, which adds a lot of difficulty.

Fortunately, Ji Chengming had lived here for two days after all, and he had deliberately explored during the day, so he had a very clear understanding of the environment inside the temple.

As long as you are careful, the risk of being discovered is still very low.

In addition, it had just rained last night, and it was not hot during the day, so the ground was still wet at the moment, especially next to the wall, which was even muddy.

Ji Chengming walked carefully, making no sound at all when his feet stepped in the mud, and soon came to a towering wall.

This is what Ji Chengbai carefully observed during the day. Behind this wall is a corridor.

After passing the corridor, there is the courtyard where the monks' wing is located. It is just a corner of the courtyard, and there is a big tree next to it, making it difficult to find.

From the courtyard where the monks live, climb another wall to reach the Sutra Pavilion.

Although this is more troublesome, it is still safer than crossing the Main Hall.

Furthermore, at this time, the courtyard of the Sutra Pavilion had been locked early, and you couldn't get in even if you took the regular route.

Although the wall is high, it is not too difficult for Ji Chengming. After all, Ji Chengming once served as a soldier for a short period of time.

Although he quietly escaped in the later period because he couldn't bear it any longer, some of his foundations were still there after all.

I saw Ji Chengming take two steps back, then rush forward, put his feet on the wall to gain strength, and then grabbed the top of the wall.

Immediately after using his arms with force, he jumped directly from above.

After landing, Ji Chengming did not stop. After all, this was a corridor and someone might pass by at any time, so he rushed forward again and jumped over the second wall in the same way.

Entering the courtyard where the monks lived, Ji Chengming felt even more relaxed. The big tree in the corner was no different from a ladder to him. He had already crossed the final wall in just a few breaths.

Look in front of you

In the tall Sutra Pavilion, Ji Chengming calmed down his excitement.

As long as he gets that scripture, he can go back to the city and enjoy the colorful world.

Soon we arrived under the Sutra Pavilion. It was said to be a Sutra Pavilion, but in fact it was just a small three-story tower.

Ji Chengming glanced at the locked tower door, then walked straight to the window, gently pulled it, and sure enough, it was locked inside.

Then Ji Chengming followed the same example and easily climbed to the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion. He pulled it again and the window opened directly.

In this Mingde Temple, the monks have no concept of guarding against thieves. After all, they are basically impoverished. How many people come back to steal things?

Ji Chengming carefully jumped into the Sutra Pavilion and went straight to the third floor.

He remembered clearly that the man told him that the scriptures were stored on the third floor.

But when he reached the third floor, Ji Chengming was in a dilemma. He didn't know the name of the scripture, so how should he find it?

Gritting his teeth, since he had come in, he could not give up easily. Ji Chengming put all the handwritten scriptures he saw into his arms, and then jumped out of the Sutra Pavilion along the route he came up.

However, as soon as Ji Chengming's feet landed, he saw a light not far away, and it turned out to be a monk.

"Who!" Hearing the sound of Ji Chengming landing, the monk was also startled, yelled and rushed over.

Ji Chengming was so anxious that he didn't even care to go back the way he came. He spotted the nearest wall and rushed over.

After jumping over the wall, there was another courtyard, but Ji Chengming did not relax at all. If more monks surrounded him, he would be dead.

Not only will the scriptures be taken back, but the temple will never let him stay any longer.

So Ji Chengming continued to move forward, he wanted to leave Mingde Temple.

Although the monks in Mingde Temple were sincere, their physical fitness was not weak at all. Seeing Ji Chengming jump over the wall, they were only slightly surprised, and then jumped over too.

In this way, Ji Chengming and the monks chased each other and soon arrived at the outskirts of the temple.

Ji Chengming looked at the last wall, felt a little happy in his heart, and then jumped up easily.

However, the broken tiles on the wall suddenly slipped off, and Ji Chengming sat directly on the ground.

"Ah!" Ji Chengming screamed, but he didn't dare to stop and continued running forward with a limp.

go.

Not far after Ji Chengming ran out, the monk also jumped out from here.

The monk stepped on the slipping tile. Because the ground beneath the tile was wet soil, the tile flew forward instantly, and the monk sat directly on the ground.

"Snapped!"

It was a coincidence that the flying tiles happened to hit the back of Ji Chengming's head, and Ji Chengming's head was immediately covered with blood.

Ji Chengming felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

However, this was a mountain, and Ji Chengming actually rolled down the mountain.

The dead branches and gravel on the ground scratched Ji Chengming's body with blood, and a piece of dead wood directly penetrated into Ji Chengming's eyes.

Fortunately, the mountain where Mingde Temple is located is not high, and Ji Chengming soon rolled to the foot of the mountain.

Ji Chengming felt like all the bones in his body were about to break, and his mind was as hazy as a dream.

At this moment, bright lights shone into Ji Chengming's eyes, followed by a violent braking sound,

"Bang!" Ji Chengming flew out again.

When Ji Chengming landed again, there was no life left. Blood flowed from his body, completely soaking the scriptures in his arms...

In the church, Meng Nan and the other two people leaned on the statue, not daring to make the slightest move.

One of Chen Ruier's arms had already fallen not far away. She was covering her wound, her face extremely pale.

"Damn it, if this continues, we will die here sooner or later, and we won't be able to survive until dawn!" In the darkness, Xia Wenqing's face looked extremely ugly.

The rain was still falling in the sky at this moment, and there was still no light.

"We have to wait, there's only less than twenty minutes left!" Meng Nan squeezed the time, although she was anxious but couldn't do anything.

Unexpectedly, Death's cooperation with George would increase the risk to such an extent.

"Twenty minutes, can Rui'er survive twenty minutes?" Xia Wenqing could feel that Chen Rui'er's body was shaking and her breathing was very weak.

"Then you have to hold on!" Meng Nan bit his lip. The anxiety in his heart was no weaker than Xia Wenqing's.

Neither Meng Nan nor Xia Wenqing noticed at all that as the rain continued to soak into the ground, the ground beside the statue gradually became softer, and the statue gradually tilted towards Meng Nan and the others...
