Chapter 60 Take the furnace in public (for collection!)
At two quarters of the yin, the Taoist priests went up the mountain one after another. Today is not a rest day, and there are not many pilgrims in the early morning.

Zhao Rong did not climb the mountain immediately, but waited for a group of handymen, followed them up the mountain together, and set his eyes on the two familiar faces along the way, a tall and thin middle-aged man, a half-white-haired man. old man.

Both of them were handymen responsible for the hygiene of the Lingguan Hall, but one of them was in charge of one day and took turns cleaning.

Zhao Rong focused his attention and memorized the characteristics of their steps and behavior carefully.

When I met them on the way, I didn't go directly to the exterior to clean up, but I would first clean up the steps of the mountain road and the resting pavilion, and then continue to go up the mountain.

Zhao Rong was stunned, it turned out that the daily cleaning time of these handymen in the hall was not fixed.

Zhao Rong followed them all the way to the exterior of the mountainside. The group gradually dispersed, and each went to the palace in charge of doing things. Zhao Rong followed the lanky handyman into the Lingguan Hall.

After entering the hall, Zhao Rong went straight to the seat where he used to copy the scriptures, but this time, instead of sitting down to copy the scriptures, he packed up his things and said goodbye to the Taoist priest who received the guests. After donating a sum of money, he turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, the morning class was going on in the Lingguan Hall. There were few pilgrims and it was quite quiet. Zhao Rong was about to go out when he suddenly heard a cat meowing from the back of the hall. Looking back, the voice came from behind the statue.

The old man in blue, who was taking the lead in chanting, frowned and opened his eyes. He turned his head to the lanky handyman who was wiping the table and raised his chin.

Zhao Rong pursed his lips, stepped out of the main hall, and walked around to the back of the Lingguan Hall. He knew that there was a back door behind the main hall, and at this moment he saw the tall and thin laborer driving the cat.

Behind the row of side halls, including the Lingguan Hall, is a large forest, and a bluestone road winds its way to the secluded place.

At this time, the cat escaped to a jujube tree, and the tall and thin handyman was holding a bamboo pole under the tree to try to expel him. The cat dodged left and right, but he was helpless. Seeing this, Zhao Rong went to help and climbed the tree lightly. , grabbed the cat by the back of the neck and jumped off easily. The tall and thin handyman quickly thanked him and stretched out his hand to take it. Zhao Rong smiled and asked if he could take it back for adoption.

Zhao Rong went down the mountain with the cat in his arms, carefully pondering the tone of the lanky handyman just now. It is difficult to imitate his speech, but he only needs to remember the tone of voice when he expelled the cat.

After such a long period of observation, Zhao Rong determined the timing and plan to start.

The time is at five quarters of the night on the next day off.

The rest day was crowded, giving them an excuse to steal, and after a night of vigilance, the morning was their most relaxed time.

Do some preparation before you start.

First of all, we have to give some money to the fat Taoist boy and his companions. This is very simple. In advance, throw a coin or two on the ground on their way down the mountain. Just try a few more times.

The two of them couldn't control their age, so they would go to buy books and stay up late to read if they had money, so they would fall asleep the next morning, especially when the blue-clothed Taoist priest was not in front of them during the morning class.

As for the other two Daotong boys, they had to find a way to make some noise the night before they could not sleep, so that they, like the two fat Daotong boys, would doze off and close their eyes when they were on duty in the early morning.

Taoist priests in the morning class don’t need to pay attention, they have to close their eyes and chant sutras. According to observations from the past few days, as long as there is not too much movement, they will not open their eyes, and there are many people on the day off, which is easy to distract them, and it is difficult to respond to slight movements. Aroused vigilance, besides, so many pilgrims are watching, if people find that they are not serious in the morning class, it will be very embarrassing.

As a result, in the main hall, apart from the pilgrims and the virtuous monks who bowed their heads to copy the scriptures, the only ones who opened their eyes were the white-haired Taoist priests who received the guests and the servants whose arrival time was uncertain.

The Taoist who picks up guests, according to observation, usually goes to the toilet at about five quarters of the yin hour in the morning class, which is why he chooses this time, but for the sake of safety, there is a second set of plans. Before going to the toilet, he would go to the khaki position.

How to card?It's very simple, go to the Taoist priest who picks up the guest, ask aloud, the Taoist will turn to talk to him when he hears the words, with his back to the table with the Tingni purple gold furnace, he only needs to delay until other pilgrims line up behind him. That's enough, he can get out after that, and the benefits of having more pilgrims on a rest day are reflected again.

In the end, he stole a set of handyman uniforms and pretended to be a tall and thin one. In order to prevent him from being smashed by a real person on the spot during the action, he had to soil the steps up the mountain and the ground of the pavilion to enjoy the cool air in advance, so that the time for the handymen to go up the mountain would be delayed. A moment, and he will get the divine furnace in this moment.

Then comes the course of action.

First put on your regular clothes, hold the cat on the path up the mountain, put the cat from the left side wall into the temple, wait for the five quarters of the yin hour to ring, then step into the temple, enter the Lingguan Hall to take a look at the situation in the hall, if his arrangement works, it is in line with conditions, start immediately.

He turned around and went to the thatched hut in the southwest corner of the exterior. He changed his clothes and dressed like a tall and thin handyman. He was chosen because he happened to be on duty on the day of the holiday, and the two were quite similar in shape, so it was easy to imitate his steps.

Then take the back path of the many side halls on the left, go to the back door of the Lingguan Hall, put food in the door, and lead the cat to come.

Then go to the main entrance of the main hall and directly enter the hall. At this time, you need to learn the pace rhythm of a tall and thin handyman, with your feet in an outstretched pattern, and shaking slightly from left to right when walking, you must master the weight and rhythm.

After the cat meowing, carrying Tingni's purple gold stove and some small utensils, he walked out the back door while shouting to drive the cat away.

The reason why he has to carry some other small items is as a cover for the theft, so as not to let people lock the target of his theft all at once.

And at this time, he didn't need to pay attention to the many pilgrims in the hall. Although the pilgrims could see his behavior, because he was dressed as a handyman, they would deceive everyone and make everyone subconsciously make excuses for his behavior of taking the stove.

In this way, it is to take the divine furnace in an upright manner under the eyes of the public.

After that, if everything went well, he would hug the cat and burrow into the deep forest at the back, and use the cover of the forest to climb out over the wall.

Finally, it is the escape route down the mountain.

After the stove is stolen, there will be three situations in Chongxuguan. One is that it is not found in a short time;

The last one is that although it was discovered quickly, it didn’t pay much attention. It was only after reporting it to the Vipassana supervisor, and no longer worrying about it. As for how Vipassana will deal with the report after reporting, this is not what Zhao Rong is worried about. It happened, because by then he had already slipped away.

In fact, in his opinion, the last possibility is the biggest, but for the sake of safety, he will design an escape plan based on the second most dangerous possibility.

Zhao Rong investigated on the spot and found that behind the left wall of the exterior, there was a rugged mountain road winding down the mountain, with bluestone steps, covered with moss, and a clear, ding-dong, cold mountain spring beside the road, flowing with the twists and turns of the mountain road.

Zhao Rong was cautious, and went up the steps to explore the top of the mountain road. Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance on the road. He walked up a little bit along the winding stone steps. When he came into sight, there was a large osmanthus flower forest on the left side of the road. The aroma was overflowing, Zhao Rong didn't care, and continued up the mountain, and then saw the blue tile and red wall blocking the appearance of the Chongxu Temple, but at this time, at the end of the mountain road, there was a red lacquer gate.

Zhao Rong stepped lightly, came to the door, squatted down, stretched out his index finger to touch the joint of the door shaft, twisted his fingers lightly, there was rust, the door should not be open often.

Zhao Rong felt quite at ease, then went down the mountain road and found a few deep routes near the foot of the mountain, which was convenient for him to escape with the furnace.

And he will be walking on the mountain road at that time, and he should be able to go down the mountain for half an hour, and he will probably be able to successfully control the Tingni Zijin Furnace so that it shrinks into a punch, and then it will be easier for him to escape.

Zhao Rong let out a sigh of relief, so everything was ready, only Dongfeng owed him.

What is Dongfeng?That is the rest day in four days.

Suddenly, Zhao Rong frowned, remembering the attic whistle of the star-gazing tower that had almost exposed him, and he was shocked. He went back to investigate and rehearsed, and found that part of the escape route was exposed to the sight of the attic whistle. .

Zhao Rong was secretly afraid that this plan was really like walking a tightrope. If you are not careful, you may fall short, and you will never be able to recover.

Zhao Rong thought about it and re-planned the route. He would rather take a slight detour and avoid the dark whistle in order to be safe.

In the next few days, Zhao Rong fed the cat and cultivated feelings for it, imitating the footsteps and tone of the tall and thin laborer, while repeatedly deliberating on the plan, often rushing to the appearance to deduce on the spot, occasionally thinking of new details, and conscientiously perfecting it.

A few days before Xiu Mu, he remembered something, went to the foot of Taibai Mountain, found some restaurants and wine shops with many people, pretended to be ordinary pilgrims, and loudly announced that the incense in the Lingguan Hall was very effective. He only prayed for a few days, The relatives have recovered from their illness, and now they have come here to repay their wishes.

This operation provoked heated discussions among many pilgrims.As a result, there should be more people in the Lingguan Hall on the day of the holiday.

After a thousand miles, he collapsed in the ant's nest, and his current strength was insufficient, so he could only expand the odds of winning little by little and accumulate advantages.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and the east wind is approaching.

One night on the first day of Xiu Mu, Zhao Rong rented a carriage in the city, drove alone, and parked in a forest somewhere under Taibai Mountain.

After that, he sneaked into the house of the tall and thin handyman, stole a set of commoner's clothes, and turned around to leave, but before going out, he looked back at the tall and thin handyman lying on the kang sleeping soundly.

In fact, there is a better choice in his plan, which is to deal with this thin and tall handyman directly. In this way, after he takes away the Tingni Zijin Furnace, he should not be discovered in a short time. This can also Buy him more time to escape.

Zhao Rong shook his head, left quietly, climbed the mountain cautiously, spread fallen leaves and dirt on the mountain road and in the pavilion, and then went down the mountain.

In the end, Zhao Rong went to the fat road boy's house named Nanxiao. When the lights in the house were on, he turned around and went to the house of the other two duty road boys. Seeing that they were sound asleep, he quietly dropped the prepared mice into the house. Waiting for the small animals to disturb their sleep, and then make them restless in the middle of the night.

At the moment of Yin Shi, the bell rings on the mountain, the Taoist priests are quiet, and the market is lively.

Zhao Rong hugged the cat, climbed the trail, threw the cat into the wall, and waited.

Yin Shi five o'clock.

Passing through the hall, glanced lightly, went to the thatched hut, changed clothes and hats.

Move north, to the back door of the hall, put food on the ground, and go to the main entrance.

He lowered his head into the hall, swayed his steps, walked to the desk, and reached out to wipe the table.

The cat meows at the back door.

Pick up the divine furnace, follow the zero objects, open the mouth to drive the cat, and walk out the back door.

Hold the cat and head north, burrow into the forest, climb the tree and climb over the wall, and stride away...
