Chapter 723 A person who knows how to be grateful!
The real game of chess begins at this time.
In the secret space beneath the Huasheng Temple, Shen Lian deceived the new heir of the thieves family who had just come out of the mountain gate into his hands.
Although I didn't work for free, I didn't need him to pay my salary, and I also had such a younger brother with special skills, so I really made a lot of money.
Seeing Zhang He's expression of gratitude towards him, Shen Lian felt very emotional, this is a person who knows how to be grateful.
Zhang He: "..."
He looked at Shen Lianhui and nodded with emotion. He always felt that Lord Shen had misunderstood something.
"Zhang He, let's work."
Now that he had a younger brother, Shen Lian was not polite and said directly to Zhang He.
Zhang He was still confused at this time. He looked at Shen Lian and asked: "Master Shen, what should I... do?"
He feels that apart from stealing things, he really has no special skills.
Even if you have special skills, they are all developed for stealing things.
So...what did Lord Shen ask him to do?
He didn't understand at all.
Others also looked puzzled. They didn't know what the use of Shen Lian's efforts to subdue a thief was.
But Li Shimin was a little thoughtful.
Shen Lian smiled and said: "I know that your bandit family has a secret method. You can feel the flow of air and the effect of wind. No matter how small the wind is, you can still feel it, right?"
Zhang He couldn't help but look at Shen Lian with wide eyes: "Master Shen, how do you know?"
The bandit family has been very low-key these years, and this secret technique is only taught by direct descendants and will not be passed on to the outside at all, so Shen Lian's knowledge really shocked him.
Shen Lian said lightly: "Have you forgotten? You used it just now. I saw what you did in the dark with my own eyes, so I wrote it down. Don't make ink marks. Can you do it?"
Zhang He nodded hurriedly and said with some satisfaction: "Even if you are a bandit, this secret skill is about to be lost. If you are not a member of the direct lineage, you are not qualified to learn it. Even if you are a direct lineage member, you can't learn it without talent, and I am not talented. I happened to learn this method.”
Snap!
Shen Lian slapped him on the forehead and scolded him with a smile: "Stop bragging, come over and give it a try."
Zhang He covered his head, looking aggrieved.
But he wanted to refute, but when he thought about Shen Lian just stealing the relic from him without anyone noticing, he couldn't open his mouth.
No, it can't be compared.
Shen Lian is not a human being.
This is a monster!
I can't compare, and I don't dare to compare.
"Hurry up and look for other vents besides the secret passage we came from. Hurry up and you'll find it. Shen Lian said.
Zhang He had no choice but to nod when he heard Shen Lian's words.
The next moment.
Zhang He took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, closed his eyes directly, and concentrated all his energy on feeling the flow of air and the changes in the wind.
When Shen Lian saw this, he directly put his hand in front of his mouth, making a silent gesture.
When everyone saw this scene, they all held their breath and looked at Zhang He nervously.
Although they didn't know what danger was about to happen, they relied on their trust in Shen Lian and looked at Shen Lian's solemn look, feeling very nervous and worried.
They knew that Shen Lian would never make a wrong judgment.
Since Shen Lian said there was danger, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.
Time passes quickly.
Shen Lian's eyebrows also frowned slightly. Looking at Zhang He with sweat dripping down his forehead, Shen Lian secretly said in his heart: "I rely on you to break the game. Don't let your guard down at the critical moment!"
It was because of knowing Zhang He's existence that Shen Lian was confident that he could fight back.
But if Zhang He loses his temper, he will really be a loser.
"Found it!"
At this moment, Zhang He suddenly opened his eyes and said to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian perked up and said, "Where?"
Zhang He quickly walked to a wall, felt it, then raised his hand, pointed at the wall in front of him, and said, "This is it."
"There is a very weak wind blowing from here. It must be connected to the outside, but I don't know the details."
Shen Lian didn't expect Zhang He either.
Just tell him the approximate location and rely on his brain for the rest.
Shen Lian raised his hand, tapped the mountain wall lightly, looked around, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.
He raised his hand and touched a stone.
The surface of this stone is slightly smoother than other places.
It was obvious that he had been touched frequently.
It's just that the light here is too dark, and you can't feel the difference without touching it, so if Zhang He hadn't found this place, no one would have discovered the problem with this stone.
Shen Lian thought for a moment and pressed hard.
Kakaka--
The stone entered the wall directly, and the mountain wall in front of it moved away with a clicking sound.
A secret passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.
"this……"
Everyone was extremely shocked when they saw this scene. They really didn't expect that there was a passage.
Abbot Dezhi also said: "The poor monk has no idea that there is another door."
Shen Lian sneered: "If there wasn't this door, how could the people behind the scenes transport the silver coins quietly?"
"Your secret passage is connected to Huasheng Temple. There are people in the temple all the time, and there is no way that five thousand silver taels of money can be transported away without alerting anyone. Therefore... at that time, I knew that the person behind the scenes existed. , I guessed that there must be another secret passage."
"The thief got away with the five thousand silver taels through this passage...but he never expected..."
The corners of Shen Lian's lips raised: "This passage has become an opportunity for us to leave."
After saying this, he quickly entered the secret passage without any delay.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed and walked out.
This secret passage is not short, but Shen Lian can feel that they no longer continue to go down, but are walking on flat ground, perhaps going down the mountain.
Finally, a bright light suddenly shone in from the front.
When Xu Gou saw this scene, his face suddenly became overjoyed. He was about to speak, but his mouth was suddenly blocked by Shen Lian.
Xu Gou was stunned.
Shen Lian put out the torch, then found two guards and whispered: "There are two thieves guarding the entrance of the cave. Go and kill them without anyone noticing. Don't let them make a sound."
The two guards were shocked when they heard this.
They didn't notice anything unusual at all, and they almost cried out in surprise just now.
If it weren't for Shen Lian, maybe they would have alerted the thieves outside.
Thinking about the consequences of that, their hands and feet felt cold.
The two of them rushed out quickly without any hesitation.
With the strength of Li Shimin's guards, there is no difficulty at all in dealing with ordinary thieves if they are prepared.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to send the signal.
Only then did Shen Lian and others walk out of the cave.
As soon as they came out of the cave, they saw two corpses lying on the ground. Both of them had their throats cut and they didn't have time to make a sound.
Looking at the clothes they were wearing, Qin Zulai narrowed his eyes slightly: "bandits?"
These clothes are no different from those of bandits.
But does the bandit have this ability? With such a brain, can he come up with such a wonderful scam?
Shen Lian doesn't think so.
"We are going down the mountain."
This is what a monk exclaimed.
When everyone saw it, it was not true.
Huasheng Temple is built on the top of the mountain.
But they went down the mountain without knowing it.
Shen Lian nodded slightly in his heart. Sure enough, everything was as he thought.
"boom!!!"
And at this moment, when these people were surprised that they had unknowingly descended the mountain, suddenly, a huge roar, like the roar of doomsday, suddenly exploded...
The entire mountain was shaken by the huge roar and rocks fell down.
Even the earth trembled a few times.
And they subconsciously followed the sound, raised their heads subconsciously, and looked towards the top of the mountain...
The next moment, everyone was stunned.
Each of the monks felt as if they were struck by lightning and stood there for a moment.
When Li Shimin saw the scene on the top of the mountain, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression suddenly changed.
Xu Gou was also dumbfounded.
Zhang He even shouted directly: "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!!!"
His language management was in chaos.
It was obvious that he was also frightened.
It can be said that everyone present, except Shen Lian, was not frightened.
Even Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows a few times.
I saw on the top of the mountain, at this moment, the fire was soaring into the sky.
The glorious temple that could once be seen at the foot of the mountain, now... can only be seen as a pile of ruins.
Obviously just now, Huasheng Temple was still so magnificent, solemn and solemn in front of them.
But at this moment, it was like a snap of a finger.
The huge Huasheng Temple, the largest and most prestigious Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty, was destroyed in one day.
The fire is soaring into the sky, and the fire is still burning.
Some explosions are still going off.
At this moment, everyone was extremely shocked, frightened and grateful.
If it weren't for Shen Lian.
If Shen Lian hadn't just led them into the secret passage and left Huasheng Temple.
Then maybe, at this time... they will all turn into ashes together with Huasheng Temple.
Rumble…
At this time, some noises suddenly came from the cave behind them.
Then a lot of dust rushed out directly.
A guard went to check, but not long after, he ran out with a pale face.
He said: "The cave... collapsed because of the violent explosion just now."
If Lord Shen hadn't brought us out in time, if it had been a little longer...all of us would have been crushed to death, or... trapped to death, even if we hadn't been killed."
Having said this, he couldn't help but gulped: "Master Shen, you saved all of our lives..."
When the monks heard what the guards said, everyone's face was covered with cold sweat.
They didn't know until this moment.
What exactly is the danger Lord Shen just mentioned?
It was only then that they knew what it meant to survive the disaster.
Knowing that Lord Shen pulled them out of hell...
Xu Gou couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his face.
It’s so scary!
These people are so cruel!
And Zhang He couldn't help but look at Shen Lian at this time...
Even though such a frightening and terrifying thing happened, the handsome young man in front of me had no strange look on his face from beginning to end.
Calm, calm.
There seemed to be a kind of magic power about him, as if everything was under his control.
It seemed that as long as he was there, nothing... would be a problem.
"Master Shen, you...what kind of person are you?"
Zhang He looked at Shen Lian with a complicated expression. He suddenly had a feeling that maybe following Lord Shen like this wouldn't be a bad thing.
As for Shen Lian, a white chess piece appeared on his finger.
He held the chess piece, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly the corners of his mouth raised.
"Your chess game, unfortunately, didn't kill me."
"Then let's start my game with someone Shen..."
It's time to start fighting back.
In Shen Lian's life, this was the first time he was almost killed by someone.
OK! You're fine!
With Shen Lian's temperament of taking revenge, he really wants to let go of his hands completely.
Shen Lian let out a breath of turbid air, his black eyes flashing with a faint light: "Then, let's get started..."
…………
On the ruins of Huasheng Temple on the top of the mountain, the flames still shot into the sky.
It's still dark at this time, but it's not long before dawn. It can be said to be the darkest moment before dawn.
In the dark night, the light of the fire reaching into the sky was so obvious.
Behind him, the rumbling sound in the cave continued.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were very complicated.
Shocked, frightened, scared, thankful...
They looked at Shen Lian and felt extremely grateful in their hearts. They knew that if it hadn't been for Shen Lian, at this moment... all of them would have died.
Li Shimin had a look of emotion on his face.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Shen Lian, you saved my life."
The director of Huasheng Temple, Dezhi, looked at the ruins of Huasheng Temple and recalled everything that happened today. His eyes suddenly went dark, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The monks suddenly became confused.
Shen Lian looked at the worried Dezhi and couldn't help but feel pity. This Dezhi was really pitiful.
Because he had an almost demonic obsession with winning the debate between Buddhism and Taoism after three months, Dezhi abandoned everything and started such a shocking scam.
But who knew that in the end, not only was his scam exposed by Shen Lian, but more importantly, he knew that everything he did was actually completely deceived.
He thought he was deceiving others, but little did he know that they were treating him like a monkey!
He worked hard to get five thousand silver taels, but ended up making wedding clothes for others.
And this is not the end yet!
The people behind the scenes even wanted to kill all of them, and even wanted to kill the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in their Huasheng Temple.
If Li Shimin really died in Huasheng Temple.
Then the imperial court will definitely be extremely angry, and by then, the entire Buddhist sect in the Tang Dynasty will definitely be implicated.
The entire Buddhism might be uprooted in the Tang Dynasty!
Isn't this miserable enough?
But it’s not over yet!
Because, in addition to killing them, the people behind the scenes also directly destroyed the face of their Buddhist sect in the Tang Dynasty and the Huasheng Temple on which they relied for survival.
In just such an instant, Huasheng Temple became a ruin!
