Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 548 A Huge Mystery
Han Sifu and her maid Lan Xiang did come to the Taoist Temple that day, and then Lan Xiang was killed, her body was found on Zhuangzi, and an arm was found in the lotus pond of Dingyuan Houfu, Han Sifu also disappeared that day .

If something happened to her, then the place of the accident should be in Taoist Temple or Zhuangzi.

It's just that there is any connection between this Taoist temple and Zhuangzi in Dingyuanhou's mansion, the distance between the two is just a little closer, that's all.

Regarding this point, both Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang couldn't figure it out. After asking the little Taoist priest, they sent him away, and continued to wander around the Taoist temple in order to find clues.

Strolling to the backyard, they saw a bamboo forest, in which the bamboos were densely planted, forming a natural barrier. They wondered whether there was a Taoist temple or other places behind the bamboo forest.

The two of them searched all over the other places, but found nothing, only this bamboo forest.

"There seems to be a trail over there."

Liu Yunxiang took Yan Mu to the east for a few steps, and sure enough, he saw a path paved with bluestone slabs. The path was so narrow that only one person could pass.Yan Mu was in front, Liu Yunxiang followed, and the two walked towards the bamboo forest.

After entering a section, the dense forest covered the sky and the sun, and the place below became dark, giving a feeling of winding paths leading to secluded places.

After walking for a while, she vaguely heard movement in the forest, but before Liu Yunxiang could see anything clearly, Yan Mu turned around and hugged her, stepped back a few steps, and then two thick bamboos fell down.

Liu Yunxiang was still in shock, "What's going on?"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "It seems that someone doesn't want us to go inside."

"Someone just?"

"The figure is extremely fast and the kung fu is very good."

Looking at the place where the bamboo broke, it was clearly cut with a knife.

"You wait for me in front of the main hall, I'll go in and take a look inside." Yan Mu said.

"I am with you!"

Yan Mu looked back at Liu Yunxiang, seeing her determined face, and he was really worried about letting her be left alone.

"Then follow me closely."

"it is good."

Liu Yunxiang simply pulled Yan Mu's sleeve, and the two of them stepped over the bamboo on the path and continued walking in.In fact, the bamboo forest is not very deep, and after walking for a while, we came to the end.

The outside is suddenly bright, as if at the top of the mountain, the surroundings are open, and there is a small courtyard not far away, but the courtyard door is wide open.

"Someone went down the path over there!" Liu Yunxiang pointed down and said.

Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang to chase after him, but because the distance was too far, only three figures could be seen, men and women could not be distinguished.They walked in a hurry, as if they had received the letter ahead of time, and deliberately avoided them.

This road led down the mountain, the two chased it all the way, turned a corner, and when they reached the river, the three became one, and this person was blocked by the river, unable to escape, and seemed not to want to escape.

He bent down to scoop up a handful of water, washed his face, then shook his hands, and turned around again.

Seeing this man's face, both Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang were shocked.

It was Han Zicheng, the chief eunuch next to the emperor.

When Han Zicheng saw them, he pretended to be surprised, "Hey, the King of Zhenbei, the princess, and the servant are so destined to meet you in this mountain."

Yan Mu's heart turned around, "Eunuch is alone?"

Han Zicheng looked around, "Could it be that there are ghosts around my servant?"

"What is father-in-law doing here?"

"Come wash your face."

"Wash your face?"

"Your Highness, you don't know. This drinking water comes from a cave in Yunxia Mountain. It first gathers in the Taoist temple and then flows down. This is the water used for the Taoist dew. It is said to have the effect of eternal youth. It is not as good as your highness." Come and wash with the princess too."

This Han Zicheng had a smile on his face, he obviously made it up casually, and he wasn't afraid that they wouldn't believe it, since he didn't break the law here anyway.

"Eunuch should be in the palace right now?" Yan Mu asked again.

"The emperor sent his servants to deliver offerings. If His Highness doesn't believe it, you can go to the palace and ask the emperor."

Yan Mu's eyes were deep, this Han Zicheng was blowing nonsense with his eyes open, but he didn't catch those two just now, so he couldn't expose him now.

"The servant has finished his errands, and he is going back to the palace, you two take your time."

With that said, Han Zicheng walked down the river.

At this moment, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang thought of something at the same time, and ran up the mountain together, and when they ran to the yard, the door was still open, and the inside was empty.

"There might be people inside just now." Liu Yunxiang said.

When they saw someone running out, they subconsciously chased after him, but they didn't expect that there might be someone inside.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "If there was someone inside, who would it be?"

"A person who can make Han Zicheng obey orders and cover up."

"Is Shangguan Xu coming to the Taoist temple today?"

"It's him?"

It's just speculation right now, but if it's him, what else can he hide from?

There seems to be a huge mystery in front of the two of them, and so far they have only seen this mystery, but they have no way to solve it.They walked out of the bamboo grove, and saw Taoist Hongxuan coming down from Xuanyuan Terrace, full of ambition.

Seeing them, Taoist Hongxuan hurriedly straightened his posture, stepped forward and saluted solemnly.

"Your Highness, Wangfei, it's really rude to be far away."

Liu Yunxiang took a look at Daoist Hongxuan's sleeve bag, it was bulging, and it probably contained a money bag.

"The Daoist made a lot of money, right?"

Hongxuan laughed dryly, "I made the concubine laugh, just to support so many disciples, the sesame oil money alone is not enough. But although my magic pill does not have the magical effect of prolonging life, it can really strengthen the body, so we rely on our conscience .”

Liu Yunxiangmo, his conscience is so precious!
Taoist Hongxuan turned to look at Yan Mu again, "Your Highness Seventh, you were quite frightened in the palace that day, weren't you?"

Yan Mu's face darkened, "Not really."

Daoist Hongxuan laughed: "It's nothing to steal the sky and change the sun. The poor Taoist has even more powerful skills. You probably dare not try it."

"This king has nothing to dare, it's just that the Taoist insists on showing his ability to this king, is it necessary?"

"Pindao still said that, and wants to make a fortune for His Highness."

"Why?"

"Calculate the fate, the universe, and the general trend, and use this to determine the next path that Pindao will take."

"Which way you want to go, you should tell yourself the fortune."

"But Pindao thinks His Highness's road might be better."

"The road that this king walks may not lead to the end you want."

"Your Highness can't help himself."

Yan Mu was silent for a while, "Are you really a Taoist priest?"

Shouldn't a Taoist devote himself to cultivating the Tao without asking about worldly affairs?

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "Daoist Hongxuan has a heart to help the world. Taoism can cultivate character, but it may not be able to save people. Immortals still have to go down to the world to overcome the calamity. After going through eight hardships, the Taoist grows out of the world of mortals and discovers the secrets of heaven. This is about to be born to overcome the calamity. "

Hongxuan looked at Liu Yunxiang again, this time his eyes became darker, as if he only started to put her in his eyes at this time, knew her, figured her out, "Pindao and Wangfei don't know each other, right?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I just heard about the Taoist priest."

"Why sigh?"

"It's too late to meet each other."

Hongxuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's true that we don't see each other too late, the princess can be a confidant of the poor."

"I also want to see the Taoist master's ability, can I have this honor?"

"nature."

Yan Mu, Liu Yunxiang and Hongxuan came to Xuanyuan Terrace again, Hongxuan sat down cross-legged, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang also sat down.

A burner of incense was lit next to her, and the wind carried sandalwood and blew across her cheeks, but it seemed to blow into her brain and heart.

"You two, close your eyes, count to three and open them, and you will return to your previous life."
