Chapter 111 Mysterious Cries
At Haishi that night, in the guest room of Chongtian Temple.

"This Taoist temple... has a problem!" Zhao Yu said to Xu Zun and the others, "I haven't seen many people offering incense, but the Taoist temple can be built so big, does it have foreign money?
"There are corridors, gardens, and pavilion gardens that I have entered several times. I calculated silently before, and if I walk in them, I might get lost!
"And that horse," Zhao Yu said again, "it's the Yuzhao Lion Horse, which can only be bought for 500 taels of silver!"

"I also feel that something is wrong," Huo Anu nodded and said, "I always feel that these Taoist priests have a kind of gangster spirit, and their eyes are not clean."

"Brother Xu..." Lu Mingyue listened to the discussion of the two, and asked Xu Zun, "What do you think? Should we ask them about Lu Xiaofeng's family?"

Before Xu Zun could speak, Zhao Yu continued to speak to Lu Mingyue.

"Miss Lu, you'd better be mentally prepared," he reminded, "Even if there is a problem with this Taoist temple, it doesn't mean that it has something to do with the disappearance of Lu Xiaofeng's family!"

"Oh?" Lu Mingyue asked, "Why?"

"Nine members of Lu Xiaofeng's family disappeared mysteriously. Anyone who could do such a thing would be so stupid as to ride a Yuzhao lion horse and wear ten-square boots to withdraw money from the Wude Bank? It was Lu Family Bookstore." the voucher?"

"What... what do you mean?" Lu Mingyue was anxious, "You mean, we went in the wrong direction at all?"

"Also, it just so happens," Zhao Yu said again, "When we were trying to investigate the disappearance of Lu Xiaofeng's family, this person came out to withdraw money?
"Also... the fire at the Lu Family Bookstore, if it was really just for money, why burn the bookstore?"

"Oh," Lu Mingyue looked anxiously at Xu Zun, "Brother Xu, why didn't you say these things earlier? Doesn't this mean that our investigation direction is wrong?"

"No, that's not necessarily the case!" Xu Zun picked up the teacup, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and said calmly, "It's precisely because someone pretended to be a Taoist priest to go to the bank to withdraw money, and he also rode a Yuzhao lion horse. On the contrary, I think this person should be Maybe they are giving us clues!"

"Ah? You mean..." Lu Mingyue became more and more confused, "The person who withdrew the money is not a bad person?"

"Don't worry," Xu Zun advised, "wait patiently, maybe we won't get nothing from this trip!"

dang dang...

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside, and when it was opened, it turned out that it was two little Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, both of whom were holding thick quilts in their arms.

"Everyone, the weather is too cold, brother, let us add some quilts for you!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Huo Anu got up quickly and took the quilt.

"If it's not enough," said one of the little Taoist priests, "you can just tell us, we are in the room with the lights on the far side!"

"I'm sorry, um..." Xu Zun suddenly asked the little Taoist priest directly, "This Taoist priest, we want to ask you about someone, do you remember?"

"Oh?" The little Taoist was surprised and asked quickly, "Who do you want to ask?"

"My friend's family of nine members came to Chongtian Temple to offer incense and wish three months ago," Xu Zun asked, "I don't know, have you seen it?"

"Oh?" The little Taoist frowned, "A family of nine? Three months ago? This..."

The little Taoist priest was remembering, when Zhao Yu suddenly got up and asked, "Oh, urgent to urinate, urgent to urinate, may I ask my little master, where is the toilet?"

"Turn right when you go out, it's behind the woodshed." Another voice reminded.

"A family of nine," Xu Zun continued to describe, "three girls and six boys, one of them is about the same age as my lady, and she is extremely beautiful!"

"This..." the little Taoist shook his head and said, "My good lord, there are too many people who come to our Chongtian Temple to burn incense, and they all come together as a family! It was three months ago, and I really don't remember what……"

While speaking, the little Taoist kept staring at Lu Mingyue, with a deliberate gleam in his eyes.

"Oh, yes, it's been a long time!" Xu Zun shook his head.

"In this case, we won't bother you good venerables!" After finishing speaking, the two little Taoist priests bowed their heads and left the house.

"Brother Xu..." Lu Mingyue paused for a few seconds, then stared at Xu Zun and said, "Did I smell it wrong? Why does this little Taoist have the smell of rouge?"

"Really?" Huo Anu smelled the quilt and thought it was the smell from the quilt.

"Okay, there is progress!" Xu Zun smiled lightly, "Not only these two little Taoist priests, but everyone in this Taoist temple we have seen before has the scent of rouge on their bodies, and they are all different."

"This..." Lu Mingyue asked nervously, "Is there really a problem with this Chongtian view?"

As soon as the words were finished, the door opened, and Wei Beihui came in from the outside.

"Miss, Xu Tixing," Wei Bei replied, "I just came back from the Chenyuan Palace. I found out that the current owner of the Chongtian Temple is called Yuyangzi, and the Taoist priests in the temple call him Yuyang Daoist!
"This person is not Taoist Xu Tianyou's apprentice, but his fellow apprentice."

Real person Yuyang?

Xu Zun smacked his lips secretly, this name sounds very familiar, is there also a real Yuyang in "Legend of the Condor Heroes"?Or some other martial arts novel?
"Daoist Wei," Lu Mingyue asked hurriedly, "Do you think there is something wrong with this Taoist temple?"

"It doesn't count if you say yes, but if you say no..." Wei Bei groaned back and said, "This Taoist temple is almost completely different from when I came here more than ten years ago, and some of their rules seem to have changed. !
"I noticed that the scriptures on the altar were crooked, the tributes were placed in the wrong order, and that the Xuanming Hall is a sacred place, but I found that someone was joking behind the stone pillar.

"Of course," Wei Bei said back, "they also have a lot of impreciseness when it comes to ritual kowtowing, which would never have happened when Daoist Xu was in power!"

"Daoist Wei," Lu Mingyue reminded, "We just heard that some Taoist priests smell like women's rouge."

"Oh?" Wei Bei was surprised, "This...Poverty Dao has never heard of it, but...but..."

"But what?" Lu Mingyue urged.

"Pindao has specialized in Qingxiu since he was a child, and his hearing is different from ordinary people," Wei Beihui said hesitantly, "I was on the way to Chenyuan Hall just now, and I seemed to hear a woman crying faintly!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked, Lu Mingyue hurriedly asked: "Did you hear me right? This is not a Taoist temple for women, how can there be a woman's voice?"

"I'm not sure," Wei Bei replied, "From the direction, it seems to be coming from behind the Chenyuan Hall!"

"Hush!" Huo Anu suddenly signaled everyone to be silent.

squeak...

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and it was Zhao Yu who walked in the toilet.

"Master Xu," Zhao Yu said nervously, "Our tactic of throwing stones and asking for directions seems to have worked. I saw those two little Taoist priests running towards the backyard in a panic, so they should have reported to their superiors!
"It's a pity that there are guards in the backyard, so I can't follow!"

It turned out that this was all arranged by Xu Zun and Zhao Yu in advance, and Zhao Yu didn't go to the toilet at all.

"Ah?" Lu Mingyue became excited instantly, "Could it be... Xiaofeng's family really came here?
"Daoist Wei..." Lu Mingyue glanced at Xu Zun first, and then begged Wei Bei, "Your martial arts are strong, I don't know... can you go over and check?"
