Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 435 Tianfu Shrine
"I hope so!" Li Canghai smiled, and suddenly asked, "Wanyu, you seem to be familiar with this island?"

Wanyu nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, my father was buried on this island, and I would come here every year to offer sacrifices. However, this island is extremely dangerous, even we only go to the shrine. Some A place that even we have never set foot in."

The two talked while walking, during which they rested for half an hour, and Li Canghai bought some food for Wanyu to replenish her strength before continuing to walk up the mountain.

Penglai Island has one main peak and two secondary peaks, and the finished product stands above the sea.The three peaks are one, with jagged rocks and steep walls. Although not high, it is quite dangerous.

The Tianfu Shrine is located halfway up the main peak, and the two stopped and stopped until it was getting dark before Li Canghai and Wanyu arrived.

Tenfu Shrine is an ancient temple with an oriental style. There is a lush ancient pine tree in front of the shrine, and there are stone tables and chairs under the pine, covered with pine needles.

"My lord, go up the bluestone steps, and the shrine is not far ahead." Wanyu pointed to the front, and suddenly said shyly: "My lord, I have recovered some strength and can walk. I'll let it go."

Li Canghai did not let her down, but stared at the bluestone steps, his eyes became serious.

"Someone has come here long ago, and it's not just one person." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Wanyu let out a bewildered cry, and asked in puzzlement, "My lord, how do you know there is someone in the shrine? Could it be Shangguan Mao?"

Li Canghai shook his head. He pointed to the bluestone steps and said, "Look, the bluestone steps are covered with moss. There are obvious traces of being stepped on on the moss, and the traces are messy. It is definitely not stepped on by one person, it should not be Shangguan Mao."

Wanyu asked in surprise, "Could it be that the pirates have taken over the shrine?"

Li Canghai's face was serious, he thought for a moment, and said, "Wanyu, hide there, I'll check the situation first."

Li Canghai saw a grove of bamboo not far from the pine tree, so he carried Wanyu on his back, then handed the bronze sword to Wanyu and said, "You take this sword, if you encounter thieves, you can use it to defend yourself."

Wanyu hugged the sword tightly, she said nervously: "My lord, you have to be careful!"

Li Canghai smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll come back to pick you up right away after I find out the situation."

Li Canghai handed all the burdens to Wanyu, and after giving her some instructions, he walked cautiously along the bluestone steps towards the shrine.

As he approached the shrine, Li Canghai saw several guards guarding in front of the shrine. Those guards were dressed in Japanese costumes, and they seemed to be members of the envoys.

Li Canghai thought for a while, rolled his eyes a few times, then grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and smeared it on his face, then limped over.

"Oh~ help! Help me!" Li Canghai pretended to be miserable, and howled as he walked to the shrine.

Seeing this, the guards immediately surrounded him and shouted, "Ba Ga! Who are you? What's the purpose of coming here?"

Li Canghai wiped his tears and cried, "Brothers, I was originally a coastal fisherman, but because of the strong wind, I lost my way at sea and ended up here. But who knows that this island is full of dangers, and I have been living here for several days. I didn’t close my eyes anymore. I hope that the big brothers will be kind enough to let me enter this temple and sleep for a while!”

Several guards looked at Li Canghai suspiciously, and the leader shouted: "This is where the princess rests, you should go to rest somewhere else!"

Li Canghai's heart moved, he nodded secretly, and thought, it seems that they are really members of the Japanese envoys.

"Big brothers, please take pity on me. I'm fine, but one of my younger sisters is seriously injured. I beg your mercy, let my sister go to the temple to rest!" Li Canghai begged bitterly.

"No! As I said, the princess is resting in the temple, and no one should disturb her. You should leave quickly, or don't blame me for being rude to you!" The guard pulled out his weapon and shouted sharply.

"Please! I beg you!" Li Canghai begged loudly on purpose, rolled his eyes, and shouted at the shrine: "Princess! Help! Princess, your subordinates are bullying the common people! It's unreasonable! "

The guards didn't seem to expect Li Canghai to yell in front of the shrine. They immediately surrounded Li Canghai and said sharply: "Baga! If you keep yelling and disturbing the princess to rest, I will kill you and feed the fish." !"

Li Canghai was not afraid at all. A sly light flashed in his eyes, and he beat his chest and said: "Is there any reason! The Dongying people are going to kill the people of the Tang Dynasty in our Datang sea area! My lord, have you seen it? Look!" Have you arrived? This is the nature of Dongying people!"

"Baga! Shut up! You...you shut up!" the guard roared angrily.

"This is my Great Tang territory. You occupy the Great Tang territory, so why don't you let me say it? I want to say it, but I won't shut up!" Li Canghai yelled loudly.

At this moment, a young man came from the shrine.

This man was about the same age as Li Canghai, and his appearance was quite handsome, especially his eyes, which were as bright as stars, seemed to be able to read people's hearts at a glance.

"What's going on?" the man asked.

Several guards saluted the man and said, "My lord, this guy is a rascal. He wanted to enter the shrine and was stopped by us, so he yelled and yelled here. For disturbing the princess, please forgive me!"

The man looked Li Canghai up and down, and said, "Let him in!"

The guard couldn't help being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly said: "Master, let him go in, I'm afraid it will disturb the princess?"

The man smiled lightly and said, "This is the territory of the Tang Dynasty. As outsiders, how can we keep the master away?"

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought: So he has heard the conversation between me and the guard a long time ago, this person is a bit interesting.

"Please wait here for a while, I'll bring my sister!" After Li Canghai finished speaking, he went back outside the mountain gate and carried Wanyu up.

"I didn't expect Lingmei to be a martial artist! But I don't know what happened to her?" The man saw the long sword in Wanyu's hand and asked while rubbing his chin.

"It's too long to talk about it. All in all, my sister was tricked by the gangsters and drank poisonous water, resulting in the loss of martial arts. If she is a girl, if she encounters wolves, tigers and leopards, she will be very dangerous." ? That's why I want to come to this shrine to rest, you don't mind?" Li Canghai said with narrowed eyes.

The man smiled indifferently and said: "As you said, this is your Great Tang domain. It is justifiable for you to enter the shrine to rest. How can we have any objection? Two, please!"

As he said that, the man stretched out his right hand and falsely led the two of them in.
