She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

Chapter 51 The Cliff
The two were welcomed into Qingyun Temple.

The master of Qingyun Temple went away, and the person who received them was another veteran Taoist who was more than seventy years old.

Fu Rudi revealed his identity and told the purpose of their visit.

"Taoist Master, may I ask how long ago you met Taoist Danyang?"

He described Taoist Danyang's crime in such a bad way that the old Taoist did not dare to hide it and bowed tremblingly.

Because of his unclear speech, he asked the middle-aged Taoist priest who had just argued with Fu Jiao to tell him: "Taoist Danyang claims to be over fifty, but he looks extremely young, with three strands of beautiful beard fluttering, and an immortal spirit..."

The middle-aged Taoist priest met Danyang Taoist and admired his charm very much during the conversation.

"Danyang Taoist has profound Taoist teachings and is not arrogant or impetuous. More importantly, he is more polite than this girl. He is not arrogant and is very low-key and humble."

Fu Jiao: "...huh?"

She pouted.

The middle-aged Taoist priest knew that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly added: "But I know people, but I don't know their hearts. Taoist Danyang has committed so many sins that this poor Taoist would never have thought of it!"

"Taoist Master, do you know the whereabouts of Taoist Danyang now?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest pointed at the old Taoist: "When he was drinking and discussing Taoism with his uncle, he once mentioned that he would like to go to Chunfeng Pavilion, the highest spring mountain in Yunzhou, to practice breathing. After all, it was only ten days ago and he should still be in Yunzhou now. .”

This is a huge clue for Fu Rudi.

But Fu Jiao paid attention to another point. Looking at the old man Baicai Bangzi, he was amazed, "You are still drinking at such an old age?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked proud, "Don't look at my uncle, he is 78 years old. He likes to drink Shao Dao Zi, and he will drink a jar in two days. That day, when discussing Taoism, Taoist Danyang was too drunk to drink, so he drank it. He let it slip that he was practicing in Quanshan."

"awesome."

Fu Jiao gave the old man a thumbs up.

The old man was hard of hearing, but he understood that this was a compliment. He opened his mouth with a missing tooth and nodded to Fu Jiao.

Fu Rudi laughed.

Without further ado, he took Fu Jiao to bid farewell to Qingyun Temple, then took his men and started searching all the way up from the foot of Quan Mountain.

If Taoist Danyang is really in Quanshan, he will be unable to fly.

*
The reason why Quanshan is called Quanshan is because every time it rains, dozens of mountain streams converge to form flying waterfalls, like floating clouds dragging the Milky Way upside down, vying with each other from the mountains and dense forests.

Fortunately, it's getting cold now.

It wasn't raining and the road was easier to walk.

Yunzhou is located in the north and has a cold climate.

There was frost this morning, and it was even bitingly cold. The grass and leaves in the mountains and forests were covered with a thin layer of white.

Fu Jiao was wrapped in a thick fox fur, and a pure white scarf covered half of her palm-sized face, leaving only the tip of her nose and face, which were red from the cold, exposed.

Fu Rudi felt distressed again when he saw it.

"It's cold today, you should stay at the inn and rest."

"I do not."

Fu Jiao followed Fu Rudi, and it seemed that the two words she said the most were "I don't".

If a fight breaks out, Taoist Danyang is a man of evil spirits, and she is afraid that Fu Rudi will suffer a loss.After being together for so long, she didn't want any of them to get hurt, let alone the cheap brother in front of her, even Si Nan and Si Bei.

Fu Jiao gasped in the cold, and the hot breath instantly turned into white mist in the cold air.

Fu Rudi originally reminded her to bring a hand warmer when she went out, but before leaving, she just put down the hand warmer and stuffed a bunch of talismans and star disks into her arms.

Now it's better. Not only is it heavy, but it's also cold and biting.

Fu Jiao blamed Taoist Danyang for all these unsatisfactory things.

If she caught this old boy, she would give him a good beating.

Climbing Quanshan Mountain in early winter, the scenery was unexpectedly good.

Following the steps carved by previous generations, Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao stopped and walked, and soon reached the mountainside.

At this moment, Sinan and Sibei from behind suddenly said: "Sir, look here!" Fu Rudi stepped forward and saw that they were several empty wine jars that had been thrown away.

Si Bei sniffed the remaining wine and said, "It's just burning knives."

"It seems that Taoist Danyang is really in Quanshan."

"Here, let me see."

Fu Rudi and others were studying the wine jar there.

Fu Jiao looked at the feng shui left and right and saw no problems.She was bored and walked to the cliff halfway up the mountain.

Looking down, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and I don’t know how deep it is.

"If this falls, there will definitely be no bones left."

Fu Jiao was thinking like this when suddenly, a gray shadow appeared next to her.She turned her head to look, and before she could see the other person's face clearly under the bamboo hat, she was pushed hard by the man in gray on the waist——

"go to hell!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Jiao's whole body fell uncontrollably.All she felt was the whistling wind beneath her feet, and her brain went blank for a moment, unable to react.

The man in gray is extremely agile with his hands and feet.

After pushing Fu Jiao off the cliff, he turned around and jumped into the dense forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Fu Jiao——"

When Fu Rudi caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, the blood in his body froze.

The blood on his face disappeared in an instant, and he ran to the edge of the cliff with all his strength. When he was about to jump without thinking, he was stopped by Sinan and Sibei who came over: "Sir! Calm down! There is a cliff below!"

"Sir, jumping down is not an option! Quickly, go to the royal palace and the state capital, and dispatch all the government officials to find the fourth lady together!"

"Master, calm down!"

Fu Rudi's strong self-control allowed him to resist the urge to follow Fu Jiao and jump off the cliff.

His eyes were red.

I don't know whether it was blown by the cold wind or due to emotional fluctuations, but there was a faint accumulation of crystal water.

Fu Rudi raised his head and took a deep breath.

He suppressed the sadness, anger and anxiety in his heart, listened to the opinions of Si Nan and Si Bei, turned around and quickly went down the mountain, "Did you see who it was just now?"

"It's a man wearing gray clothes and a bamboo hat."

"He must be highly skilled in martial arts."

Si Bei said resolutely, "Otherwise, how come none of us noticed when he appeared and when he left? If nothing else, this man's lightness skills must be among the best."

Fu Rudi immediately thought of the people in the world who had met in the palace.

His face was as heavy as water, and he immediately made arrangements: "Si Bei, you and your people will continue to search Quanshan, and you must not miss any place. Dig three feet into the ground to find traces of Danyang Taoist; Si Nan, you go to Zhizhou to dispatch government officials, and I will Go to Chengnan Prince's Mansion to borrow someone and look for the Fourth Miss."

"Yes!"

The matter was of great importance, and his two cronies were the most reliable right-hand men around him at the moment.

Fu Rudi had two plans when he went to Chengnan Palace.

One is to borrow someone to look for his sister, and the other is... to check the identity of the man in gray.

Is it a coincidence or something else?

No matter what, he can be sure of one thing - Fu Jiao's fall off the cliff must be related to Taoist Danyang!
Parked at the foot of the mountain were the horses they came from.

Fu Rudi got on his horse and went straight to Chengnan Prince's Mansion.

The cold wind was biting, and the joints of his hands holding the reins turned white.

God was unfavorable, and suddenly snowflakes began to fall.With the extremely bad weather and the coming night, Fu Rudi couldn't even think about how his delicate sister would survive...
