On the top of a small building halfway up the mountain, a black shadow rose silently into the sky, and then disappeared into the sky like a shooting star.
Not long after, a dark shadow landed in a valley in a country in the east.
After hiding the shuttle, Lin Shan carried Yingzi forward for a short distance before waking her up.
Yingzi couldn't help but feel resentful: "Can you not knock me out every time?"
Can you faint yourself?" Lin Shan asked. Ying
Zi sighed and said: "You came here quietly from China and spent such a short time. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have guessed that you had a very fast means of transportation."
Whatever you say, take me to find Monk Yizhen quickly." Lin Shan didn't want to explain more and urged impatiently."
You still don't believe me." Yingzi said quietly, and then walked to the front to lead the way."
I said, trust is not just words, it takes time to test." Lin Shan said.
Yingzi didn't answer, and the two of them walked silently on the stone-paved mountain road for more than half an hour, and finally stopped.
"Is this here?" Lin Shan was a little surprised. This place was too shabby. There were only three wooden houses. There was a small courtyard in front of the door. There was a wooden fence around it. The wood looked bad.
This courtyard has no village in front and no shops in the back. No normal person would live here."
You can't be wrong, I've been here several times before." Yingzi said, without saying hello, she pushed open the wooden gate and walked into the small courtyard. Lin
Shan frowned and followed behind. The whole courtyard was so quiet, like a cemetery.
There was no sound of breathing in the house. Even if he didn't enter the house, Lin Shan could hear it as long as someone was sleeping inside. But now he couldn't hear anything. There should be no one inside.
"Master Yizhen..." Yingzi walked to the door of the house and called softly.
However, Lin Shan directly pushed Yingzi away and walked in. Yingzi quickly followed and said: "Master Yizhen is an eminent monk, we still..."
Before she finished speaking, Yingzi showed a look of surprise.
Lin Shan sighed and said, "We're still a little late."
At this moment, there was a gray-robed monk sitting cross-legged on the tatami in the bedroom, but there was a dagger stuck in his chest. The blood in front of him had turned black and dried, and it looked like he had been dead for a while. "
It's all my fault, I should have come here earlier." Lin Shan sighed again, now that the person who knew the details of Chiba Zhenwu is also dead, it will be even more difficult to investigate in the future.
"Sir, Master Yizhen has something in his hand." Yingzi suddenly said at this time. Lin
Hearing this, Shan quickly knelt down and opened Master Yizhen's hand, only to find a bronze key with a simple shape. "
Master Yizhen still held this key before he died, it must be very important to him, but where does this key come from?" Lin Shan picked up the key and said to himself.
Yingzi looked at the key and muttered: "I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"Have you seen this key?" Lin Shan asked quickly. Ying
Zi shook his head and said: "No, I saw a similar bronze key, not this one."
Where?" Lin Shan's heart moved and he asked. "
It seems to be in the temple at the entrance of this valley, yes, that's where it is." Yingzi thought for a while and then confirmed."
Come on, take me there quickly. This key probably hides a big secret, maybe it’s the details about Chiba Zhenwu." Lin Shan said. Sakura
Zi nodded, and then the two of them left the cabin and ran towards the mouth of the valley.
Both of them have extraordinary skills. Even if it is late at night and in the jungle, their speed is still not affected. It is very good.
Soon they arrived near a series of temples, and it was only then that Lin Shan suddenly realized that Master Yizhen's place did not exist in isolation, but should be part of this temple.
Master Yizhen was an eminent monk, so he chose to cultivate there, but he never thought that he would be killed. No.
But this was obviously silenced."
This is Longquan Temple, with more than 300 monks. There are some special places in the temple that can only be opened with a bronze key like this." Yingzi said. Lin
Shan asked with a headache: "How many special places are there?"
I don't know the details, but I followed Mr. Chiba to two of them. It was there that I saw such a bronze key," Sakurako said.
Lin Shan nodded and said: "Then let's go to these two places first."
Be careful, the monks here are not ordinary people." Yingzi reminded.
In fact, with Lin Shan's current skills, he moves like a rabbit and is as quiet as a virgin. He makes very little noise when walking, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
Sakurako herself, on the other hand, is slightly less powerful.
The two of them jumped into the courtyard wall easily, and then, using the cover of the dark night, they walked around inside.
Minutes later, Yingzi stopped, pointed to a main hall in front of her and said, "This is it."
"What place is this?" Lin Shan asked curiously. Sakura
Zi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I can only take it outside every time. What's in it? To be honest, I'm also very curious."
"This Chiba Zhenwu is really cautious. He is so wary of the shadow ninja around him." Lin Shan said with emotion.
"Isn't it the same for you?" Yingzi asked. Lin
Shan glared at the shadow, then tiptoed out of the shadow. Come.
When I arrived at the door, I saw a bronze lock with a similar shape, which seemed to match the bronze key. Lin
Shan took the key and pushed it into the keyhole, but he couldn't get in halfway. Obviously, the key was not suitable for the lock.
The two of them didn't hesitate and quickly changed places.
This time it was just a side hall, and it was very small. The door was also locked with a similar bronze lock.
Lin Shan opened it again with the key, but it still didn't work.
"It seems we can only try one by one." This is the stupidest way, but it is also the last option. Continue.
After nearly an hour, Lin Shan and Ying Zi wandered around the temple, searching all the rooms locked with bronze locks, but none of them were worthy of this key. "
Are there any other places?" Lin Shan asked with a dark face and a somewhat depressed mood.
Yingzi shook her head and said, "We have visited the entire temple."
"If this key opens a cabinet in the house, then we are looking for a needle in a haystack," Lin Shan said.
"What should we do now?" Sakura asked.
Lin Shan did not answer immediately, but picked up the key again and looked at it. Then he suddenly let out a light sigh: "There is a pattern here, what is it?"
