The next morning, Hu Xiaotian woke up early and checked the situation in the Split Cloud Valley. He was convinced that the bodies of Qi Danei and the two assassins in black had been completely transformed and washed away by the river.
After a search in Yungu, they found the assassin's weapons, and then they sneaked into the river bottom and buried them with rocks.
Returning to the cave where Chu Fufeng worshiped the Immortal Buddha, he found that the Buddha statue had been beaten into powder by Bu Wu. If the old emperor knew about it, this would be enough to make him lose his head.
Hu Xiaotian cleaned the cave and prepared to move an immortal Buddha statue from the cave next door. The old emperor wouldn't come in person anyway, so he had to muddle through first.
While cleaning up the pile of ruins of Buddha statues, they pulled out a gear-like object, which was about the size of a copper coin. It was quite heavy when weighed in the hand. A closer look revealed that the gear on the edge was very strange. Although Hu Xiaotian didn't know what it was, he didn't know what it was.
It can be inferred that this object is very important. He had carefully inspected the cave before and found no such thing. It should have been revealed after Bu Wu smashed the Buddha statue with a slap. Since Chu Fufeng hid the gear in the Immortal Buddha statue,
In my belly, gears must be extremely precious.
Hu Xiaotian carefully put away the gears, cleaned the cave, and then selected a similar-looking Buddha statue from other caves and carried it back. The originally heavy Buddha statue was now a piece of cake for Hu Xiaotian, and it did not take much effort to complete.
Do the moving work.
By the time Hu Xiaotian finished all this, it was already noon and the two monks who had delivered the meal had not come over. This time, Master Tongjing from the prison came in person. Tongjing saw that only one of them was left. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and said in surprise:
"Where is your companion?"
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said, "It's hard to put it into words. He couldn't stand the poverty here, so he ran away alone while I was sleeping."
Tongjing sniffed. Hu Xiaotian was worried that he would smell the smell of blood, and his heart could not help but beat fast. Fortunately, Tongjing did not smell the smell of blood. He whispered: "Why did this poor monk smell something fishy and burnt?"
smell."
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart. He said it was so complicated and it was not a grilled fish. He clasped his hands and said: "It seems that it all started because of this incident. Last night he forked a fish from the river, cut it open and scraped the scales on the bank. I think
He actually killed animals in the Buddhist pure land, so I said a few words to him, and he was so angry that he started to quarrel with me. I thought the matter would be over, but I didn't expect that he would leave in the middle of the night."
General Tongjing was doubtful, but Hu Xiaotian's words could withstand scrutiny. He whispered: "Donor Hu, come with me, the seven-day period has expired."
Hu Xiaotian followed Tongjing back to the Five Views Hall of the West Courtyard. During his absence, the guards were at ease. When they heard that Hu Xiaotian was back, they all secretly screamed that something was wrong. They spent seven days worshiping the Buddha in the Rifting Cloud Valley, which was equivalent to
They were held in solitary confinement for seven days. Now that I come back, I am afraid that I will vent all my anger on them, and they will suffer from it in the future.
They were all surprised to see Hu Xiaotian alone coming back.
Hu Xiaotian did not talk nonsense to these guys. He took a cold shower, changed into clean clothes, and went straight to Puxian Academy to report to the emperor. After what happened last night, Hu Xiaotian could almost conclude that the old emperor of Puxian Academy was very
Is he the real person? The so-called coming to Tianlong Temple to save the soul of Princess Anping is basically a situation arranged by Hong Beimo. This guy wants to take the opportunity to kill himself so that he can't leave Tianlong Temple. It seems that the old emperor has just been restored, and around power
The overt and covert fight between Qi Qi and Qi Qi has already begun. After all, the little princess is young. The result of her sharpness has aroused Hong Beimo's premature vigilance. Judging from his current situation, Hong Beimo has already started to cut off Qi Qi's right-hand man. This guy is a good fighter.
Wishful thinking, when he asked me to offer incense and chant sutras to Chu Fufeng's Immortal Buddha for seven days, he was basically looking for an opportunity to kill him. As for Qi Danai, he was just an unlucky guy. He had dragged him to the Rifting Cloud Valley in the first place.
He didn't think that he would be killed as a backstop, and Qi Danei's current fate was entirely his own fault.
When they arrived at Puxian Yuan, Yin Zheng greeted him again and said in a low voice: "The emperor is chanting sutras inside. Brother, please wait a moment."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and stood outside. This time, the old emperor didn't know if he was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he waited for an hour before passing him into the room.
The old emperor sat on the futon, holding a string of rosary beads in his hand. He looked at Hu Xiaotian who walked in from the door and asked coldly: "Where is Qi Danei?"
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself, you just sent two killers to kill me last night, and today you still ask questions knowingly. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Qi Danei ran away because he couldn't bear the hardship."
Long Xuanen glared at Hu Xiaotian and said, "Do you think you can deal with me like you dealt with those monks?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, why did you say this? Qi Danei and I offered incense and recited Buddhist sutras for seven days in front of the Immortal Buddha in the Riyun Valley in His Majesty's name. We dare not say that we have made a decision."
What a great contribution, but I have worked hard these past seven days, and I am worthy of His Majesty’s trust. But something happened last night..."
Hu Xiaotian paused deliberately when he said this.
Long Xuan'en said: "What's the matter?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I dare not say it."
"You tell the truth. As long as you tell the truth, I will forgive you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hu Xiaotian took a step forward. He was sure that the Long Xuan'en in front of him was Hong Beimo's counterfeit. He wished he could go up and punch him until he showed his true form, but now was not the time.
Hu Xiaotian lowered his voice and said: "Last night, two men in black sneaked into the Rift Cloud Valley and tried to destroy the Buddha statue."
Long Xuanen frowned slightly, and there was a wave of confusion in his eyes.
Hu Xiaotian said this deliberately to test his reaction. He couldn't tell the whole truth, but if he wanted to make him believe it, he had to mix in some truth, so that it would be difficult to tell the truth from the lie.
Long Xuanen said: "What then?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Qi Danei and I were worried that they would be harmful to the Buddha statue, so Qi Danei rushed into the cave first and surrounded the Buddha statue." At this point, he stopped again.
Long Xuanen was impatient with his showy behavior and urged: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Before we went to Split Cloud Valley, Master Tongjing of the Supervisory Academy once told us many times that we should not enter the cave rashly under any circumstances, so we have always abided by their rules and burned incense and chanted sutras.
Outside the cave, the three of them entered the cave at the same time last night, and then Wei Chen heard three screams."
Long Xuan'en said: "What?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I don't know what happened. When I was about to venture into the cave, I suddenly saw a hairy monster with a half human face and half a ghost face, and grabbed three people from inside.
"
Long Xuanen sneered: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? How can one person catch three people out? Apart from anything else, Qi Danei's martial arts is also top-notch among the imperial guards."
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart, he was so damn good, Qi Danei's three-legged cat's martial arts can't stand up to my punch now. He made a look of extreme aggrievedness on his face: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, I can't do anything about it. It may be because I'm dazzled, but I'm really
I saw the half-human, half-ghost thing flying out with three figures, Qi Danei among them, flying all the way to the stone cliff to the north and then disappeared."
Long Xuan'en said: "You didn't follow after me?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "I am dissatisfied with your Majesty. At that time, I was so frightened that seven souls disappeared and six souls disappeared. Moreover, even if I wanted to chase me, I couldn't fly. Even if I chased me, I would only die. It is not a pity for me to die, but if I don't
If someone comes back to report to the emperor and let the emperor know what happened last night, it would be a huge sin."
Long Xuanen snorted coldly: "Speaking of which, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are thinking about me?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, the Tianlong Temple is very strange. I think we should not stay here. For the sake of the emperor's safety, it is better to return to the imperial city as soon as possible."
"Bastard!" Long Xuanen was furious.
Hu Xiaotian pretended to be frightened out of his mind, and knelt on the ground with a plop. He gritted his teeth secretly and thought, one day I will ask you to kneel down twice as hard for me.
Long Xuan'en said: "It's all nonsense. From my point of view, Qi Danai couldn't stand the hardship in the valley, so he ran away. As his immediate boss, you were worried about taking responsibility for him, so you made up this story."
You lied to me and you thought I was old and stupid? How dare you deceive me like this?"
Hu Xiaotian complained endlessly: "Your Majesty, if I deceive you in the slightest, I will let you lose all your inner strength and go crazy." He now wishes that he would lose all his inner strength and go crazy. Anyway, this day will happen sooner or later, so it is not evil.
The curse.
Long Xuanen didn't know what he was thinking, so he said coldly: "Stay back and wait until I find out about this matter before I make a conclusion."
Hu Xiaotian remembered that the monk who was not enlightened wanted to teach him martial arts, and said hurriedly: "I know that I neglected to discipline my subordinates, which is why Qi Da Nei fled. I am willing to go to the Rifting Cloud Valley to face the wall and chant sutras and burn incense in front of the Immortal Buddha."
Seven days.”
Long Xuanen turned his eyes, full of suspicion. This kid actually took the initiative to go to the Cloud Valley to face the wall. There must be a mystery in this. He nodded and said: "I don't have to force you. Since you took the initiative to face the wall and think about your mistakes, okay
Well, let’s take seven days.”
Hu Xiaotian was secretly happy and bowed to leave.
Not long after Hu Xiaotian left, a gray figure quietly entered Long Xuanen's room and whispered: "The fourth and fifth boys stayed away all night last night. It seems that they are in danger."
Long Xuanen sighed, stood up from the futon, stretched his body, and his rickety back instantly became straight, his eyes also burst into flames, and he whispered: "Qi Danei should be dead too.
!”
"Could it be him?"
Long Xuanen shook his head: "His martial arts shouldn't be that powerful."
"Brother, I just heard the news that the death monument on the mountain behind Tianlong Temple has fallen down. Now several eminent monks in the temple are discussing it."
Long Xuanen frowned: "Go and ask if there is a half-human, half-ghost long-haired monster in Tianlong Temple."
"Yes! What should we do with Hu Xiaotian?"
"Ignore him for the time being. We will consider his affairs after we find out what happened in the temple last night." (To be continued...) r1292
