i have a sword fairy

Chapter 55

In the early morning, at three o'clock, the galaxy is dim.

Zhao Rong got up early, did not practice morning classes in the morning, went out quietly, left the manor, and hurried to Luojing in light clothes.

Luojing has no city walls, the north and south gates are useless, and the gates are not closed at night. Zhongnan Guo Taoism governs the country. It has vigorously promoted rule by inaction. There is no curfew at night. , but under the perfunctory care of the lazy and comfortable Luojing people, the effect is not obvious. There are still all-night parties in the city, and people who do not return home at night and seek pleasure.

Therefore, it was not as difficult for Zhao Rong to enter the city in the early morning as he imagined.

Zhao Rong walked all the way through the city and came to a small inn near the south gate that rented a guest room. He pushed the door and entered, entered the room and changed clothes.

Taibai Mountain is located in the southern suburbs of Luojing. It is the highest peak on this plain. Even in the Zhongnan Mountains, it is one of the highest mountains. Zhao Rong looked up and stared far away. There was a "star" on the top of Taibai Mountain, which was shining brightly.

If there were immortals looking down from above the Nine Heavens, they would think that the lights of thousands of houses in Luojing City were the little stars sprinkled by the falling stars.

There is the Vipassana of Chongxu, and it must be as bright as day at this moment.

During the chat, I heard Lin Wenruo say that it is a strange stone bred in the deep mountains of Zhongnan.

Zhao Rong frowned lightly. When he arrived at the foot of Taibai Mountain and heard the bell on the mountain, it was already two quarters of Yin Shi.

The whole day is divided into twelve hours, and one hour has eight quarters.Yin Shi is from three to five in the morning.

At this time, it is summer, the early sun rises early, and the dawn is approaching.

Zhao Rong stepped into the market at the foot of the mountain and found that it was already quite lively. After a little inquiries, it turned out that today was a day of rest for the people of Luojing every seven days. The family came together.

Zhao Rong stepped up the mountain, looked carefully, and found that in addition to the pilgrims, there were also many Taoist priests and Taoists who rushed up the mountain together. They must have just woken up early.

Entering the exterior, also after crossing the threshold, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and it was still in front of the left side. Zhao Rong felt quite at ease. Just like the last time, he put some silver taels in the merit box and wandered freely. stand up.

Next to him was a Taoist boy in black and blue hat holding a food box and passing by. Zhao Rong's heart moved slightly, and he turned around and followed. After a while, he found that the Taoist boy had carried the food box into a certain place in the southeast corner. In a side building.

Zhao Rong swept his eyes and looked from the side building with a door that was half-closed and opened. He could only see half a table and chairs. There were two blue-clothed Taoist priests sitting and chatting, and the Taoist boy smiled and said after entering. After a few sounds, he opened the food box, took out a few plates and tableware, and then lifted the food box and walked inside. There must be other people in the building.

At this time, the early sun has risen, and the side building is just in the southeast corner with a wide view. Several rays of morning light crossed the door frame, passed through the lattice windows, plunged into the building, and stuck to a thin blue-clothed Taoist priest in Zhao Rong's field of vision. The latter tilted his head to the other side, put down the tableware, and pushed the stool in, avoiding Chen Yang.

Seeing this, Zhao Rong pursed his lips lightly, and reached out into the morning light. The morning sun was slightly warm, like silk covering his hands, bright and golden, soft and not hot. Zhao Rong put his hands away, turned around and looked out, without looking around, seeing the vision ahead for a while. No one, quickly turned into a remote path.

Chongxu View is very big in appearance, but Taibai Mountain is bigger. Except for the large magnificent building on the mountainside, everything else is dense forest.

Zhao Rong cautiously groped up the mountain.

In Chongxuguan, the blue-clothed Taoist priests are the core Taoist priests, who are practitioners; the black-clothed Taoist priests are ordinary Taoist priests and have no cultivation. In addition, I heard that there is a purple-clothed Taoist priest, which is the most honorable group of people in Chongxuguan. It's just that I haven't seen it myself, and I don't want to see it before the debate between Confucianism and Taoism.

According to what I saw when I just went up the mountain, ordinary Taoists only went up the mountain after eating their vegetarian meals in the Zhaitang at the foot of the mountain. Not long ago, the blue-clothed Taoist priests in the three-story side building should not eat their vegetarian meals outside. There should also be a restaurant.

Anything that has happened leaves a trail.

These blue-clothed Taoist priests want the Taoist children down the mountain to bring food in the morning, so there is only one possibility. They stayed overnight at the exterior last night.And the people who stayed up all night have gone through a long dark night, and most of them are sensitive to light. The emaciated Taoist priest just avoided the warm morning sun. That is the sequelae of staying up late, and presumably the same is true for other Taoist priests who did not show up in the building.

As I guessed, the Chongxu Temple at night must be strictly guarded. Although the appearance of the mountainside is usually used by pilgrims to pray for blessings and burn incense, it is indeed one of the only ways to go up the mountain. It will be closely guarded at night, and even open to welcome guests during the day. There should be someone on guard at all times.

On the eve of the debate between Confucianism and Taoism, Chongxuguan and Wen Ruo were secretly fighting each other, neither of them dared to relax in the slightest, they were very alert, and both were trying their best to guard against and look for the other's flaws.

Everything has pros and cons.

The disadvantages of this matter are obvious. With such a tight guard, it is extremely difficult to take away the Tingni purple gold furnace, and after the appearance of an "ordinary incense burner" disappears, it is very likely that they will pay attention to this trivial matter. Come look.

But there are also advantages. At this time, all their attention is on the Lanxi Lin family. The first person they suspect is the Lanxi Lin family. As for why Lin Wenruo came to steal an "ordinary incense burner", it is estimated that They can't think of it even if they think about it, and they will only extend a lot of wrong answers, distract their energy and affect their judgment, which is beneficial to their own Confucian and Taoist debate.

Of course, the best result is that they didn't notice the theft of this "ordinary incense burner". The appearance is so crowded every day that there must be something stolen over the years.Therefore, you have to mislead them and offer them a more reasonable reason for the theft.

Contacting these thoughts just now, in this way, it is best for me to start in the daytime, because the guard in the daytime is definitely not as tight as in the night, and although the daytime expects that they will switch defenses, it is impossible for the guards who stayed up all night to continue to watch, but The new Taoist priest will feel slack because his predecessor has passed the most dangerous night safely.

And according to normal logic, they should be divided into dark guards and bright guards during the day. The former is hiding in an unknown dark place, while the latter is a blue-clothed man who is stationed inside while chanting scriptures and unsigning after opening the doors in the daytime. Taoist priests, um, and those walking around on the exterior.

And because of the inertia of thinking, the Taoist priests hidden in the dark and the Taoist priests on the bright side will have a heart of dependence because they know the existence of the other party, and pin their hopes on the other party.

This is the benefit of starting in the daytime, but the huge benefits also come with the same difficulty and danger, which is also a problem to be solved in the next few days.

Finally, if there is a choice, it is best to choose a day when there are a lot of pilgrims, and give them a generally reasonable reason for the theft of the incense burner. People like to make excuses, and only when they can't find an excuse will they consider those that are beyond the norm. the elements of.In addition, some tricks are arranged to confuse their judgments, so that they cannot easily speculate the truth of the matter.

In this way, the general idea has been determined, and the only thing left to do is to improve the plan and implementation plan.

Make a decision and then move, know what you stop and gain.

Zhao Rong climbed the mountain all the way, choosing the dangerous and remote roads, climbing rocks and crossing springs, climbing rocks and stepping trees.Although he is still stuck in the Golden Stone Stage of Ascension to Heaven, he has followed the path of a martial artist, and his physique has been tempered by Liu Sanbian to be different from ordinary people. Although he has not yet learned the killing technique, he is not comparable to the ordinary knights of the Yamashita Dynasty.

After a while, Zhao Rong stopped abruptly and stopped under the tree. Three meters in front of him was a green tile and red wall. Through the gaps between the scattered leaves, he looked up. The wall was about thirty feet high, with a horizontal line. The rows of cyan black tiles intersect with the clear sky, and the sky is the same color for a long time. Looking left and right, the red wall stretches for many miles, but there is no end in sight.

This red wall separates the mountainside and the top of the mountain, and it is also the boundary between the inside and outside of the rushing virtual view, and outsiders are not allowed to intrude at will.

Suddenly, a burst of bells came from behind the wall, Zhao Rong listened carefully and counted in his heart.

Yin Shi seven o'clock.

In another quarter of an hour it was five o'clock in the morning.

The bell tower is behind the wall, and the top of the mountain is too far away to see the scenery of the mountainside.Don't worry, lurking at a high place near the exterior of the mountainside with peace of mind, squatting and observing the scenery in the exterior of Chongxu, and collecting necessary information.

Zhao Rong stretched out his hand and pressed the red wall in front of him, then turned around and went back the same way, erasing the traces he left one by one along the way.

When it came to the mountain forest near the exterior of Chongxuguan, Zhao Rong searched carefully. On the hillside in the northeast of the exterior, he deliberately chose a deep forest without birds and beasts to hide it.

Gently lift the leaves and look sideways. The sight is not very good, but most of the area except the northeast corner can be seen clearly, including the main hall in the middle called Yinzu Hall, and the third floor in the southeast corner called Guanxing Building. The tall building, and finally the hall on the left side where the Tingni Zijin Furnace is located, which is the one that I am most concerned about, the Hall of Lingguan.

Zhao Rong nodded, erected a branch, and while memorizing the terrain carefully, he took out two pancakes from his arms and gnawed them, somewhat dry and hard.This was bought out of the city at a breakfast stall that opened very early.

While chewing, Zhao Rong observed, glanced, and saw that a dozen blue-clothed Taoist priests walked out one after another in the star-viewing building in the northeast corner of the exterior, which was a little higher than where he was. Zhao Rong turned his head curiously and raised his eyes slightly. Suddenly, I found that there were light spots in the hollow wooden window of the attic at the top of the star-gazing building.

This tallest looking loft has great views in all directions!Include here!Zhao Rong was startled, and the pancake fell to the ground.Oops, why did you forget that tall building with a dark whistle? !
　Cheeky asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a collection~

　　(There is a remote recommendation at the meeting this afternoon, there should be some new book friends who can see Jianniang...)
