Chapter 1530: Dark Night Pavilion, Wu Yao, all in one fell swoop
Not long after waiting, the first batch of elite soldiers arrived.
Yue Lin separated dozens of capable people and entered the secret passage one after another to pursue him, while the rest searched the entire Lotus Island in detail!
Mao Ziyuan led a group of people into the secret passage. The secret passage was actually extremely spacious, enough for two or three people to walk side by side. Moreover, there were torches burning on the walls of the secret passage, and the interior was actually brightly lit.
After walking forward for nearly a quarter of an hour, everyone appeared in a small palace. The palace was also brightly lit, and there was even a young monk guarding it.
"Master, although this place is good, it is a dead place after all! If the imperial eagles and dogs surround the island, won't we be trapped and killed here?"
Protector Wu said worriedly.
Mao Ziyuan smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter! There is plenty of food and grass here, enough for us to hold on for more than a month or two. By then, the imperial hawks and dogs will naturally disperse!"
Everyone was puzzled. They disappeared out of thin air. How could the imperial troops give up?
When the time comes, we will have to dig out the island three feet to find them.
Then, Mao Ziyuan just revealed the reason amidst everyone's confusion.
"We opened the secret passage, the mechanism was activated, and the bell on the island rang! Did you see another secret passage just now?
That secret passage is not fake, but it took more than ten years to complete. Moreover, another island leads directly to the outside of Yangcheng Lake! At the other end of the secret passage, there is a close confidant of the leader of the sect! Hearing the sound of the bell and thinking about it, he
They will burn themselves according to the number of bells, and the others will directly blow up the entire secret passage!"
"Those court eagle dogs can at most find the corpses of dead soldiers. By then, we will naturally fake death and escape!"
It has to be said that Mao Ziyuan did have a far-reaching plan. This hiding place was secretly built for more than ten years, especially the secret tunnel that was to be dug out from the bottom of the lake. He didn't know
How many people were killed?
But his plan is indeed extremely powerful. With that secret passage, the imperial soldiers and horses will naturally track it down. When the burnt corpses are found at the end of the investigation, it is estimated that not many people will think about it carefully and directly report it to the court.
In this way, they hid here, waited until the imperial troops retreated, then showed up and left quietly, and really escaped.
"The leader has a good plan!"
Everyone couldn't help but praise him.
Mao Ziyuan nodded slightly, and then said to the crowd, "It seems that there is a traitor in our sect after all. Who else in the sect knows the news and time of your coming here?"
As soon as these words came out, all the elders and protectors turned pale with shock!
Brush, brush, brush...
Everyone looked at others with surprise, because they knew very well that the news of their arrival was only known to these people present, and the fact that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court could follow up so quickly, it is possible that someone leaked the secret.
After the weird scene stopped for a moment, the third elder suddenly changed his expression. He shouted sternly at Protector Wu, "It's you!"
Most of the other elders and protectors are old people in the religion. Only Protector Wu joined the religion later, but he has been promoted based on his merits, so he is the biggest suspect!
Seeing that all eyes were on him, Protector Wu did not panic at all. Instead, he nodded calmly, "I disappoint the elder..."
"Are you a secret agent of the imperial court?"
At this time, Mao Ziyuan's expression was extremely ugly. Damn it, if he persists for another year, he will be able to celebrate his 100th birthday...
However, Protector Wu shook his head slightly, "I am Wu Yao, the silver medal envoy of Dark Night Pavilion under the command of Marquis Zhongwu!"
"Zhongwu Hou Shen Tang?"
Many people exclaimed!
"There was no enmity between our sect and Marquis Zhongwu in the past, and there has been no enmity recently. How dare you deal with my sect! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment from the gods and Buddhas?"
Protector Wu shook his head slightly, "The Marquis said that if you are an immortal who protects the land and brings peace to the people, you should worship the incense and build a golden body.
But if it is a cult that brings disaster to the country and the people, even if gods and Buddhas really come, we must first taste the power of the swords in our hands!"
"Marquis Zhongwu is worthy of the name of the God of War. The foundation of our teaching has been ruined! However, since you have appeared, we can only sacrifice ourselves to serve the Buddha. Until you die, we can still escape this disaster!"
Mao Ziyuan said with a livid face.
"I disappoint the leader!"
Protector Wu smiled. He looked at the dozen or so young novice monks gathered around him and took out an exquisite jade vase from his sleeve.
"In this jade bottle is a secret medicine that the deputy pavilion master has worked hard to find. It has no other effect. It just makes the body feel weak and weak. It is naturally useless if it is in an open place.
But this place is a desperate place, and it happens to be just that! Can you guys give it a try, how much strength do you still have?"
"When I entered the secret passage, just in case, I took the antidote first. When the door was sealed, the medicine began to escape. Not to mention that you have no strength now, even if you still have some strength left. , I’m afraid he is no match for me either!”
After saying that, he ignored these people and turned around and headed towards the door!
In the main hall of the temple, Yue Lin and Qian Hao frowned as they looked at the soldiers who kept returning. On the entire island, there were only some novice monks who knew nothing about it, and they had nothing to gain.
The person who was tracking the secret passage also received news that the secret passage was not only complicated, but also extremely deep and wide. For a while, no trace was found.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, a soft sound suddenly sounded. The expressions of Yue Lin and Yue Lin who were standing at the entrance of the secret passage changed slightly. Qian Hao stepped forward with a knife and followed the sound to search. However, not far away from the secret passage, they slowly opened. opened another portal.
Qian Hao waved his sword and was about to rush in, but was grabbed by Yue Lin, "Wait a minute, do it!"
Not long after, I saw a gray-robed cult member walking out of the secret passage.
"But General Yue Lin?"
Protector Wu looked at it and asked Yue Lin.
"It's this general!"
"Wu Yao, the silver medal envoy under the command of Marquis Zhongwu, comes to see the general!"
As he said that, he took out his seal from his arms and asked Yue Lin to check it!
Yue Lin looked at it in detail and found that it was indeed the mark printed on the secret message passed to him, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Brother Wu, please get up quickly. If brother hadn't been secretly sending the message this time, I don't know how long it would have taken to pacify the White Lotus Sect!"
Qian Hao on the side couldn't help being dumbfounded. He and others actually had a secret room in the White Lotus Society?
Moreover, it is still a high position of protector?
If we delay, will this brother become the leader of the White Lotus Society?
"General, praise! The leader of the White Lotus Society, Mao Ziyuan, as well as the four elders, and the other guardians are all in this secret passage. Now that they are no longer powerful, the general can send people to arrest them!"
"Qian Hao! Get someone immediately!"
Qian Hao no longer struggled with the identity of Wu Yao, and immediately broke into the secret passage with dozens of personal guards! Not long after, all the big guys of the White Lotus Society were carried out!
"General, I have taken everything. Moreover, there is a lot of money, food and other items in this secret passage. The general is letting people gather them!"
