How did a good exile turn into a runaway?

Just when Zuo Yi went to shake people, Shen Qiuge and Zhao Wencong had sneaked into the temple again. As for waiting for Ju Da and the others, Shen Qiuge didn't have the patience. Anyway, they knew what to do when they came.
The entire temple is built against the mountain. Entering the main entrance is the Sakyamuni Buddha enshrined in the Main Hall. Then walk back to a verandah to connect to the backyard. In the backyard, there is a lotus pond the size of half a stadium. Then there is the statue of the Son-Giving Lady of Guanyin. The next step is to walk up the mountain, followed by Maitreya Buddha, the King of Heaven, the Subduing Dragon and the Tiger, the Eighteen Arhats, etc.

Each Buddha statue is vividly painted with solemn treasures, making people feel awe and tolerance.

Shen Qiuge walked around for a while and found nothing wrong. Then they went back to Empress Songzi to check.
"Do you think there's a problem here?"

"Maybe, I don't know. I just think it's magical and Guanyin is so efficacious. Did you find anything wrong with the lotus flowers outside just now?"

"It's really magical. There's nothing wrong with the lotuses outside, but they bloomed a little early. At first, I thought it was a hot spring, but I didn't smell the pungent smell when I passed by it just now."

Zhao Wencong sniffed while thinking. Of course he had seen hot springs and knew that the water would have a pungent smell no matter what, so he was surprised.
The mountains are naturally cooler, so the plants that grow in the mountains bloom and bear fruit later than the plants at the foot of the mountains. In some places, the difference can even be as long as half a month.

But the lotuses here not only don’t bloom, but they bloom in advance, which is very interesting.

"I suspect that they accelerated the ripening of these lotus flowers, that is to say, they used some method to make them bloom in advance."

Shen Qiuge looked at the child-giving Guanyin in front of him and said casually,
"That's a whole pond of lotus flowers. Is there any way to bring it forward?"

"First of all, the lotus outside is originally a red lotus. The red lotus blooms early. And as long as the buds of this flower grow well, you can use your hands in advance to make it bloom when the time is right."

Shen Qiuge's words left Zhao Wencong confused. There was nothing he could think of. What he saw in front of her was so convincing that she simply went out. Zhao Wencong hurriedly followed.
The two of them came to the lotus pond. Shen Qiuge swung out the ribbon wrapped around his wrist and swung it out with internal force. When he took it back, the ribbon was already wrapped with a lotus bud that had not yet opened.
Shen Qiuge took the flower bag in his hand, and the two returned to Guanyin. Since there was candlelight in the temple, they were not afraid that the other party would not see it. They waved it in front of his eyes to show that it was indeed an unopened flower bud.

Then, under Zhao Wencong's curious look, Shen Qiuge pulled the lotus bud out, and it soon bloomed.
"This is now open!"

"Hmm! As you can see."

Shen Qiuge handed him the flower. Zhao Wencong had never thought about it like this. The lotus could bloom like this. No wonder it was like this.

Even if he didn’t know the secret, he still thought it was magical. But knowing the inside story, Zhao Wencong wasn’t so interested.
The two of them looked at this place inside and out. Shen Qiuge also imitated what he saw on TV, picking up the incense burners, the fruit plates, and the candlesticks for lighting candles, and looked at them.
Zhao Wencong saw the other party's movements and followed them, tapping here and there, touching and pressing there.

In the end, the two of them found it. There were four futons in total. Three futons were in the front where believers were kneeling, and the other one was on the lower right side of the altar table, where the novices sat. On the floor at the edge of the futon There is a groove, very small and inconspicuous,
Because of the lighting, if it weren't for Shen Qiuge's eyes, he really wouldn't be able to see it. Of course, if he didn't have any doubts in his heart, he would have ignored this inconspicuous little hole.
"Wait for me here while I go find something."

After Shen Qiuge said that, he walked around outside and then came back. He hadn't taken five breaths before and after. Zhao Wencong had gone out before he could react. He was about to follow him, but after hearing his words, he paused for a few seconds and saw the crowd again. came back,

"What are you doing?" "Looking for this. Look, there is a small hole here. Let me insert this and give it a try."

As Shen Qiuge spoke, he inserted the ironwood stick in his hand through the hole. He only heard the sound of a machine. It was very slight, but both of them heard it and glanced at each other, waiting for the result.

Soon, among the three futons, the one placed in the middle fell completely, because Shen Qiuge was prepared. When the futon was about to fall into the hole,
The ribbon in Shen Qiu's singer was thrown out again and wrapped around the futon. Just as he pulled the entire futon over, the black hole just now, which was the stone slab under the futon, returned to its place perfectly.
"Huh~ Qiu Ge, you are still good at kung fu, I almost caused trouble."

Zhao Wencong felt relieved after reading the whole cause and effect. If it were him, the futon would definitely fall. In that case, it would definitely alert the snake.

"If you watch too much, you will naturally take precautions and operate normally. Okay, let's go to the back mountain first and take a look. There must be something fishy there."

Zhao Wencong nodded. During this period of contact, Zhao Wencong was very convinced of Shen Qiuge. Basically, he would not object to anything he said, not to mention that what he said was inherently reasonable.

Just as the two were walking towards the back mountain, Zuo Yi finally arrived at the place where Ouyang Xuance was camping. After this review and verification, Zuo Yi finally saw the person.

"What are you doing here if you don't stay in front of your master? Did something happen?"

Ouyang Xuance was snoring loudly, and his sweet dream came true. However, he was woken up by his men, and his temper suddenly rose. However, he was not a reckless person. He quickly got up after knowing that someone was waiting.

When Zuo Yi came to him from outside the camp, he had already dressed up and washed his face. When he woke up and saw that the person coming was Zuo Yi, his heart suddenly lifted.

"Master is fine, but this... such and such... such and such..."

"Well, you Zuo Yi, you are really good. I don't believe that Prince An would be so ignorant. Go back quickly. I won't let him swim in this muddy water. Let him enjoy the sightseeing and leave the rest to the court."

After hearing what Zuo Yi said, Ouyang Xuance was furious. This is really the character of Prince An, but are you the grandson of the emperor or the grandson of the second emperor?Why do you care so much?Didn't you see that all the bans given to you are "An"?

But he was still a good brother after all, so he could only persuade him with kind words, but he didn't expect Zuo Yi to take out the token directly from his arms, stand upright and said with a serious face: "Wang An has your order, and now he is in danger. Under the leadership of General Ouyang, Two thousand soldiers rushed to the rescue as soon as possible, and they will bear the consequences of their response."

"Good! Good!"

Ouyang Xuance's forehead was filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do. He could only grit his teeth and agreed, then shouted for the soldiers guarding outside the tent to come in.
