Shu Blossoms

Chapter 98: Zheng Wei's Disappearance
Luoxia Temple already has the scenery of early winter. The redness that filled the mountains and plains two months ago gradually faded, adding a bit of bleakness and coolness.

When Zheng Wei arrived at Luoxia Temple, it was already the right time, which may be the reason why the mountain is getting colder. There are only a few pilgrims in Qixia Temple, and it is no longer as lively as it used to be.

Zheng Wei walked around the temple boredly, but found nothing, and no one came to her. As for the so-called traitors and abducted young girls, even if they were afraid, they would not be so easy to find.

She intends to find a place to rest and wait.

Looking around, she looked up and saw the tallest bell tower in the center of the temple, and after thinking about it, she climbed up.

Standing on the highest point of the bell tower, you can overlook most of the scenery in Luoxia Temple. It is really unique to see Luoxia Temple from here.

Zheng Wei suddenly thought of something, looked halfway up the mountain outside the mountain gate, and seemed to see a few figures with the size of palms coming up the mountain, it should be Amu and the others.

Zheng Wei smiled at ease and looked around again.

After a long time, Zheng Wei frowned slightly. She seemed to have seen five or six strange figures in such important places as the Abbot's Courtyard, the Prison Courtyard, the Dazhai Hall, the Sutra Collection Building, and the Meditation Room.

She thought about it carefully, and she seemed to have seen a lot of people wearing commoner bunts when she was hanging out below.

Although they pretended to be ordinary pilgrims, their layout was very regular. There were five or six people scattered around in each courtyard. They seemed to be admiring the scenery, but in fact they were keenly observing everyone who came and went.

As long as there is any change on either side, the pilgrims wandering back and forth will come to support in time.

Judging from the figures and actions of these people, they are very similar to those of Amudai's trilogy. Could it be that Emperor Zhou believed what she had said before and sent people over to make arrangements in advance.

She thought inwardly that there were five or sixty people in total, and the rats would be too frightened to come out of their holes if there were so many people acting abnormally.

Zheng Wei didn't know, when she was worried that these people would startle the snake, they were also surprised by her appearance, worried that something would happen because of her sudden appearance.

"Hey, boss, was the little girl just now the princess?"

A stout man in a gray shirt looked at the small figure who had just left and asked the man in black next to him in disbelief.

The man in black nodded solemnly, and said doubtfully, "Didn't your majesty send Amu to stare at the county master?"

Although he didn't think about it clearly, he still smartly gave an order in advance to avoid being found by the county master.

But when they saw their princess lady climbed up the bell tower, they suddenly felt bad, and it didn't take long for them to feel the sharp eyes of the county owner swept back and forth over them, taking pictures of them. Nothing to hide.

Soon the man in black saw Amu, who was also dressed as a commoner, and entered Luoxia Temple with four people they were very familiar with.

In the past, when Paoze met, they should have hugged each other happily and told each other, but at this time they only looked at each other, understood the doubts in each other's eyes, and then passed by.
But Amu still followed the man's eyes to see the small figure on the clock tower.

Amu seemed to still be able to see her raising her eyebrows and smiling wildly at him.

Zheng Wei stayed on the clock tower for an entire hour, but she didn't notice anything wrong. The warm sun in the early winter made her feel lazy.

"Ah" She couldn't help yawning, her eyes were filled with sparkling tears, and then she wiped her eyes dry, squinting to the inconspicuous yard in the northwest corner of the temple, as if a figure had just come out of it.

But she looked around the courtyard back and forth, and found no one left.

Dazzled?Otherwise, how could a person disappear out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Wei thought about it for a while, but decided to go down and have a look. After all, he didn't find anything after waiting for a long time. Staying here can only be a waste of time.

She got down from the bell tower, and Shi Shiran walked through the pilgrims in short clothes, all the way to the northwest.

Amu quickly got the news, and followed him leisurely.

Luoxia Temple is very big. According to the steps of ordinary people, it may not be possible to turn all the courtyards, attics and palaces in one day. Therefore, many people do not know that there is such a desolate courtyard in the northwest corner of Luoxia Temple.

The courtyard is covered with withered and yellow weeds, surrounded by tall ginkgo trees, and golden ginkgo leaves will slowly fall from time to time.

Zheng Wei carefully pushed aside the weeds that were as tall as her, and walked into the courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

She managed to cross the yard and came to the door of the house. The rotten and mottled wooden house was already crumbling, and it didn't look like a place where someone lived.

Zheng Wei gently pushed the door open. The house was as dilapidated as the yard. The spiders made their nets here to make their homes. There were countless small nymphs crawling around in the cracks of the damp wooden boards on the ground. A huge mouse crawled past her.

Wait, huge mice, countless mouse women?
Zheng Wei couldn't help squatting down to check. She remembered listening to the old man in Zhuangzi before saying that worms like damp and warm places. Now it's early winter, she has put on a thin jacket, and the dilapidated house is not sheltered from the wind and rain. , how come the worms are so active
There is also a desolate place where such a huge mouse can be raised. I am afraid it is really not easy here.

Zheng Wei watched the surrounding situation vigilantly, and then began to squat down to examine the ground carefully.

She tapped carefully with the short thorns, and looked at the ground. There were more and more earth dragons and tide insects.

Seeing these densely packed and dark reptiles, Zheng Wei couldn't help but shiver a bit, resisting and continuing to read.

Suddenly, she suddenly provoked, the short thorn in her hand stabbed behind her, and her body tilted in mid-air to avoid the attack behind her.

Under the sunlight, Zheng Wei saw the person in front of him covering his face with black cloth, his exposed eyes flashing lightly. With a faint murderous aura, the murderous aura made the skin on her body tingle.

Zheng Wei's heart sank to the bottom, and in just a few back and forth, she knew that this person was the most powerful expert she had ever met, except for Liu Xin, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard.

But she didn't despair, Amu and the others would follow outside as soon as they heard the movement, and they would come in immediately, and this man could subdue her with one move, but he still didn't mean to hurt her after several moves.

Although he didn't understand what he meant, Zheng Wei still insisted on not losing.

As soon as Amu and the others stood in front of the barren courtyard, they heard the sound of fighting inside, and hurriedly kicked open the dilapidated courtyard gate and ran in.

But when they got inside the house, there was no Zheng Wei, only traces of fighting.

"Look for it!"

Amu ordered, and the other people who were already scared and discolored hurriedly searched around.

Fortunately, in just a moment, there was movement in another room. Amu ran over to take a look. There was a square hole the size of a wellhead on the ground. From the top, it was dark inside, and there was a turbid, fishy smell coming from the bottom.
