Chapter 67 What is that? Is it a human or an animal?
The night is deep, the sky is dark, as if endless thick ink is heavily smeared on the sky, not even the glimmer of stars.【26nbsp;】
The Luocheng Hotel on the banks of the Luoshui River is brightly lit, and people are coming and going in the hotel, which is lively and peaceful. In the small theater near the Luocheng Hotel, a local traditional opera performance from Luocheng is being shown.
After the Buddha Bone Relic Revealing Ceremony, Ye Feng and others had not returned to the hotel. Catherine, who was sitting in a taxi, saw the notice at the door of the roadside theater. After listening to Liao Xiaoxuan's explanation, Catherine's curiosity increased and she didn't even have dinner.
Without even bothering to eat, he dragged Avril and Liao Xiaoxuan into the small theater.
Ye Feng felt a little baffled by Catherine's sudden interest. Even he, a Chinese, didn't like opera very much, but this little foreign girl actually had such an interest. Ye Feng couldn't help but think, could this be what the saying goes?
Experts are watching the door, while laymen are watching the fun. Are they just joining in the fun?
Ye Feng looked at the notice board in front of the small theater, shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the Luo Cheng Hotel where he was staying.
As soon as Ye Feng walked into the room, a charming face appeared at the end of the hotel corridor. Michelle looked at room 1616, which Ye Feng had just walked into, with a hint of joy at the corner of her mouth. She turned around and the enchanting figure slowly disappeared.
In the corridor.
The door of room 1616 opened quietly. Ye Feng looked at the corridor where Michelle had just appeared, smiled faintly, turned around and walked out of the hotel from the other side of the corridor.
…
"Ruoyun, didn't you say you wanted to treat me to dinner? Why did the car go in the direction of Puji Temple? Well, I understand. Did you want to treat me to a vegetarian meal? I heard that many temples have it.
Su Zhai." Ye Feng looked at Puji Temple in the night ahead and asked Li Ruoyun who was driving the car with some doubts.
Li Ruoyun rolled her eyes at Ye Feng and stepped on the accelerator. The car roared and sped forward quickly. "Humph, you are a loser. Just remember to eat. Such an important thing happened, why didn't you tell me earlier."
"Ruoyun, can you please stop saying it so harshly? I really haven't had dinner yet. Oh, if I had known you were talking about me like this, I might as well have gone to watch the opera with Catherine." Ye Feng rubbed his belly,
Looking at Li Ruoyun, he said, "Besides, I just feel that there is something strange among the people who participated in the Buddha Bone Relic Revealing Ceremony in the afternoon, but there is no concrete evidence."
"Buddha's bone relics are sacred objects of Buddhism. Before I left Tianjing, the leaders of the Security Department repeatedly told me that they must ensure the safety of the Buddha's bone relics." Li Ruoyun's mood became more and more impatient. He held the steering wheel with one hand and dug out the food with the other.
I took out my cell phone and dialed the number of my colleague who was staying at Puji Temple.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Ye Feng looked at Li Ruoyun's anxious face and had already forgotten that he hadn't had dinner yet. Seeing Li Ruoyun hang up the phone, he asked eagerly.
"Yes." Li Ruoyun nodded and his expression improved slightly, "I have already informed them and asked them to monitor closely around Puji Temple."
Boom. A melodious bell came from Puji Temple. Puji Temple, which was previously shrouded in brilliant lights, turned out the lights little by little and became pitch black and dim.
"This is the evening bell. After the bell rings, the monks who have finished their evening classes will have a rest." Li Ruoyun looked at the increasingly hazy Puji Temple in the distance and said to Ye Feng.
…
"Hehe, sister Xiaoxuan, Chinese opera is so beautiful, much more interesting than our European operas." Catherine looked at the curtain slowly falling on the stage with unfulfilled interest, and said to Liao Xiaoxuan beside her, "By the way, little
Sister Xuan, why do Chinese operas have men dressing up as women?"
Facing Catherine, a foreign little girl who was very curious, Liao Xiaoxuan also smiled helplessly. Liao Xiaoxuan took Catherine's little hand and slowly walked out of the theater as the audience left, "Catherine, this is a historical issue. In
In ancient China, women were strict about showing themselves outside. Therefore, the actors in the opera industry at that time were all men, and because of the requirements of the script, some of the men had to dress up as women."
Catherine's pretty face was full of surprise, and her big bright eyes rolled around, "How can this be possible? Men and women should be equal."
Avril, who was following Catherine, laughed and said, "Catherine, it seems that you didn't learn the history class well. Not only in China, but also in Europe, before the Middle Ages, the status of women was also very low."
Catherine turned around, took Avril's arm, pouted her pink little mouth, and said pitifully, "Sister Avril, please don't tell my palace teachers, otherwise I won't even be able to play in the future.
There’s no time left.”
Avril reached out and patted Catherine on the shoulder, "I don't have to tell them, but you have to concentrate on your studies in the future, otherwise Her Majesty the Queen will blame us teachers."
"Yeah, sister Avril, you are so good, you are the best teacher I have ever encountered." Catherine kissed Avril on the face excitedly, pulled Liao Xiaoxuan and ran out of the theater with a smile.
Avril looked at this naughty and cute princess, shook her head with a smile, and quickly walked out of the theater.
…
"Ruoyun, don't drive the car to the entrance of the temple." Ye Feng said as he looked out the window at the Puji Temple getting closer and closer.
"What's wrong?" Li Ruoyun glanced at Ye Feng with some confusion and slowly reduced the speed of the car.
"Someone entered Puji Temple just now." Ye Feng looked at the vaguely visible wall in the night and said slowly, "And it seems that there is more than one person."
"Yeah." Li Ruoyun turned off the car lights, and the car turned onto a small road and drove towards the wall at the northeast corner of Puji Temple.
…
"Master Ye, such a lazy idiot, actually went to bed so early." Catherine looked at the dark room 1616, turned to Avril and said, "Hehe, Master Ye didn't wait for Sister Avril to come back. It's so unloyal."
Avril looked at Ye Feng's room, remembering the lingering night in Ye Feng's room last night, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she said shyly. "Katherine, don't talk nonsense. It's almost twelve o'clock.
, Ye Feng must be tired, you should go back to your room and rest quickly."
Catherine looked at Avril's rosy cheeks, stuck out her tongue mischievously, and said with a smile, "Then I'll go back to the room first, good night sister Avril, good night sister Xiaoxuan."
Avril looked at Ye Feng's room, hesitated, turned around, said good night to Liao Xiaoxuan, lowered her head and returned to her room.
…
The Luocheng Grottoes were dark and silent in the middle of the night. In the mountains stretching from north to south, on a towering hill in the south of the mountains, two piles of grass were moving slowly.
A black hand stretched out from the grass, pushed off the camouflage on its head, took out a night vision binoculars, and looked diagonally opposite in the direction of Puji Temple. "Jack, this is it. Get ready, time."
It’s coming soon.”
Another black palm stretched out from the grass next to him. Jack took out a camouflaged M0 sniper rifle from the box next to him. The sniper rifle had been obviously modified, with a longer barrel and a longer ammunition.
The bullets in the clip are also specially made armor-piercing bullets.
Jack raised his thumb to Tom beside him, quickly set up the sniper rifle, and placed his eyes on the infrared sight to observe the target in the distance.
"The hunting team has sneaked into the predetermined location." Jack lay motionless in the grass on the hill, looking at the infrared sight, monitoring every move in Puji Temple.
Through the night vision binoculars, Tom watched as the men of the hunting team cut off the necks of the two guards with their swords. The silver-white sword flashed and a trace of bright red blood spurted out. Tom looked at this bloody scene and said,
There was no mood swing, and he spoke calmly to Jack beside him. "You did a great job. The two Chinese security personnel hidden at the door have been successfully hunted."
"Hmph, if our brothers were to take action, we would definitely be faster than them." Jack looked at the bodies of the two guards who were slowly dragged into the corner by the hunting team, and licked his camouflaged lips with some bloodthirsty.
He said in a disdainful tone.
"Jack, don't get excited." Tom knew very well that his brother was an emotional person. After receiving the mission arrangement, Jack felt a little unhappy because only the two brothers were responsible for perimeter security and sniping. He heard that his brother was a little dissatisfied.
With these words, the calm Tom softly comforted his brother.
"Huh." Jack snorted coldly and said no more.
"It seems that tonight went well. All sixteen guards scattered near the target have been killed by the hunting team."
…
In the dark night, Puji Temple was quiet. Ye Feng, like a fallen leaf, silently jumped over the wall and landed in Puji Temple.
Ye Feng pressed his body tightly against the wall and waved his hand towards Li Ruoyun on the wall. Li Ruoyun looked around and jumped down. The moment Li Ruoyun was about to land, Ye Feng reached out and hugged Li Ruoyun.
In arms.
"Something doesn't seem right. Someone came in from outside, but your people didn't move at all." Ye Feng leaned next to Li Ruoyun's ear and whispered.
Li Ruoyun frowned, took out an earphone from his pocket and put it on his ear. Just as he was about to speak into the earphone, Ye Feng covered Li Ruoyun's mouth with his hand. "Don't use this, I think all of you are already dead."
.”
Li Ruoyun nodded, pulled off the headphones from his ears, turned off the power, and put them back in his pocket. Li Ruoyun looked at Ye Feng's face so close in the darkness, his pretty face was slightly hot, and he twisted his body, trying to get away from Ye Feng.
Come out of the arms of the wind.
Ye Feng gently pressed Li Ruoyun's shoulder, stretched out his finger, and pointed in the distance.
Li Ruoyun alertly stopped twisting, leaned quietly in Ye Feng's arms, and looked in the direction of Ye Feng's fingers.
A dark figure, low and thin, almost sticking to the ground, moved quickly towards the Great Buddha Hall.
"What is that? Is it a human or an animal?" Li Ruoyun leaned against Ye Feng's ear and whispered, his voice full of surprise and fear.
