If they were all caught in one fell swoop, this place would be useless to the men in black, so where would she go to find their traces again?
Pei Jing was arrested but there was no core personnel. This seemed to be abnormal.
It shouldn't be like this.
If Shengtong Temple is a very important stronghold for them, it cannot be just Pei Jing and the others on the periphery, there should be others.
So where are they?
Could it be that they are those lurking among the monks?
She analyzed the map and felt that there was one place that was most suspicious. The place where the man lived was a Buddhist temple in the sky called Lingyun Pavilion.
Now the moon has climbed up and is shining brightly, and the fire in the temple has also subsided, at least it has been controlled.
But the monastery was almost completely burned down, and it was impossible to hide any more people.
Shen Mingzhu knew that it was impossible to gain anything more now, and the enemy must have been prepared. After all, she had captured Pei Jing, not the more powerful person.
She looked in the direction of the temple for a moment, and then said to Xiao Xian: "Your Majesty, let's go down the mountain first."
They went down the mountain and stayed at an inn in a town.
Because of the fire in the temple on the mountain, the people down the mountain were also affected, and business was better than usual.
Shen Mingzhu and others lived at the foot of the mountain, while people monitored Shengtong Temple. She communicated with Pei Jing about information, asked him about everything he knew, and integrated the information. She had a new plan in mind.
Because of the fire at Shengtong Temple, the doors were closed for several days, and pilgrims who wanted to go to offer incense were blocked.
The temple even sent a group of monks down the mountain and asked them to set up tents at the foot of the mountain to deal with the pilgrims, interpret their fortunes or perform rituals for them.
This will also prevent pilgrims from crowding up the mountain. After all, there was a fire in the temple and the damage was serious. It will take some time to repair it.
The monk's descent from the mountain satisfies the needs of the real pilgrims to a certain extent.
At the same time, the opportunity for Shen Mingzhu and others was cut off, and pilgrims were not allowed to go up the mountain. It was useless for them to pretend to be pilgrims.
Even those who she left behind to watch were asked to come down the mountain, because there was no one left waiting in the mountain.
They can't pretend to be monks, after all, the number of monks in the temple is certain.
There was no way out for the time being, so they could only wait quietly at the foot of the mountain and think of another way.
If you break in forcefully, the impact will be bad. After all, this is a famous temple, not a den of thieves. Even if the men in black are lurking inside, they are hiding in secret, not the temple.
If they force their way in, they will naturally violate taboos.
Even if the government says there is a thief in the temple, they can't go in and arrest him, let alone others.
It's midsummer in a blink of an eye, with thunder rumbling and heavy rain pouring.
The place that was originally bustling because of the monks coming down the mountain was now empty of people. Everyone had gone to take shelter from the rain.
And because the monks came down the mountain, it has developed into a small temple fair.
There are even some vendors who come here to set up stalls, buy some drinks and food, and even sell needles, thread, sachets and purses.
Anyway, it’s very lively on weekdays.
A heavy rain drove them all away, those who took shelter from the rain, and those who returned home.
At this time, there were three figures bouncing down from the mountain like star pills. They were very fast and were not afraid of the heavy rain.
