I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

When Xiao Yang saw Bai Zhi approaching, he was like a frightened cat and yelled, "What are you doing! Go away! Let's go! Stay away from me!"

Xiao Yang was in the cave, and his voice was so loud that it made Bai Zhi's head buzz.

Bai Zhi was so frightened that she took a few steps back, but fortunately Meng Ying caught her from behind.

"Damn! Xiao Yang, why are you so loud! Are you responsible for your deafness?" Bai Zhi blocked her ears with a look of disgust.

"Xiao Yang, you shouldn't talk to the princess like that." Meng Ying reminded him funny.

Xiao Yang immediately got out of the hole, glanced at Bai Zhi, and apologized with a guilty look on his face, "It's my subordinate's fault! Just... please stay away from the princess, I..."

"how?"

"I... have a rash..." Xiao Yang's voice trailed off.

"I'm eight feet away from you! Doctor Gu said it'll be fine as long as you don't touch the wound! Are you hungry? I brought you something delicious!"

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up instantly and the corners of his mouth raised, "Yeah!"

Bai Zhi was carrying the food box, and Meng Ying was holding the lotus leaves for her. She felt a little inconvenienced and suggested, "The rain is really annoying, why don't we change places?"

"Well, there is a cave nearby." Meng Ying led everyone towards the cave.

Bai Zhi was slightly surprised. There was obviously a cave, but he only rested in this dog cave. Thinking about his previous secret base in the Zhuo family, he understood that maybe this small place could bring him a sense of security.

"Xiao Yang, if you like this mountain, let the prince build you a small wooden house. The cave is humid and you will inevitably get rashes if you stay there for a long time! Okay, prince!"

Meng Ying raised her lips and smiled softly, "You are in charge of the money. Sa Lan is already in poverty."

The two of them walked in front. Under the umbrella, Bai Zhi held Meng Ying's arm, her eyebrows raised high and a bright smile on her face.

Xiao Yang walked behind and stared blankly.

There seemed to be something different between them.

Also, he went to Yuanchenju the night he came back. It was dark in Yuanchen Residence, and the table was covered with dust. At that time, I understood something in my heart.

The servants said that the prince moved to Luochanyuan.

Xiao Yang didn't know whether to be happy or worried for a moment. His heart was tossing and turning with mixed emotions.

But he was mostly happy. In his heart, they were in love with each other and were made for each other as husband and wife.

He shouldn't think about anything.

Thinking of this, he only raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered calmly.

When they arrived at the cave, they lit a fire and Bai Zhi lined up a few delicacies.

Xiao Yang sat far away and did not get close.

Bai Zhi had no choice but to pull Meng Ying and retreat far away.

Xiao Yang was indeed hungry and wolfed down the food.

After drinking and eating, and chatting for a while, Meng Ying and Xiao Yang got down to business.

"Your Majesty, I went to Quzhou and I did find a lot of strange things. But I can't figure out the context."

"Well, just keep talking and don't let go of the details." Meng Ying said seriously.

"Quzhou has always had merchants traveling from north to south, and trade is constant. According to the governor of Quzhou, tens of thousands of ships docked at the canal in previous years, but this year there has been a decrease of 30%."

Xiao Yang glanced at Meng Ying cautiously and received a firm look from Meng Ying, so he continued.

"I made a secret investigation for a long time and heard a rumor that when the canal was first built, millions of civilians were recruited, wasted their lives and money, and caused millions of dead souls to sink to the bottom of the river. Now the souls of the dead have absorbed the moonlight, and their consciousness has awakened, and they want to pay tribute to the canal. Revenge for those who profit from their bones.”

"No one believed it at first, but not long after, bizarre cases occurred in the homes of several big businessmen in Quzhou, and people died one after another. Some were hanged, some had their heads and limbs lost, some died by strangling each other, and some died. Some people died after being hooked on the upper jaw with a huge iron hook. The death scenes were all miserable and shocking."

Bai Zhi was so frightened by Xiao Yang's description of this scene that she got goose bumps. Meng Ying hugged her tightly and patted her arm.

"This incident made people in Quzhou panic. Later, those big businessmen stopped doing business and began to believe in religion. They believed in many pagan religions. It seems that they really found it. But no matter how I checked, I couldn't find out this The name of the teacher."

Meng Ying frowned, "The soul of the deceased absorbed the moonlight and regained consciousness. Heh, it might be called the Yuehua Sect or the Fengyue Sect!"

"Ah? Is the name so perfunctory?" Bai Zhi complained.

"Yes, otherwise why would they make up that legend?" Meng Ying smiled.

Bai Zhi drew inferences, "Then their leader's name is Fairy Yuehua, True Lord Feng Yue?"

Meng Ying smiled: "It's very possible!"

Xiao Yang looked at the two of them singing in harmony, as if he didn't exist at all, so he spoke forcefully and continued: "But then something even weirder happened!"

"What's the matter?" Bai Zhi and Meng Ying were distracted.

"There are many strange things. In order to protect the peace of their own family, some people have developed a sacrificial method of jumping into the river. It is said that only young men, beautiful women and children can jump in. What's more, wealthy people will tie up a string of strong men. , and threw it into the bottom of the lake. But something even stranger happened. It is said that in the wealthy merchant who sacrificed more than a dozen people, the ground was covered with golden flowers, and there were as many as a thousand taels of gold."

Bai Zhi and Meng Ying: "..."

"Later on, many people in Quzhou either disappeared or jumped into the river. But from the beginning to the end, no one heard about what kind of church this was and what the church specifically believed in."

Meng Ying frowned, "It seems that this group of people are not short of money, they are just short of people. Xiao Yang, strong man, beautiful woman, child, do these words sound familiar to you?"

Xiao Yang's throat was a little tight, "We are familiar with them. They are all good materials for being a medicine slave."

"Have you checked the bottom of the river?" Meng Ying asked.

"Check it!" Xiao Yang opened his eyes suddenly with an expression of disbelief, "There is nothing at the bottom of the river, not even a corpse! It's like it disappeared out of thin air!"

"Didn't the government investigate?"

"I checked, and found nothing!"

"What's the time and place for jumping into the river?"

"It is rumored that jumping is only effective when the moon is full. As for the location, people can jump into the river anywhere. There is no rule!"

After asking many details in detail, Meng Ying let out a long sigh.

"It seems that someone wants to steal the country!" Meng Ying rubbed her eyebrows.

"Is it that serious?" Bai Zhi and Xiao Yang said in unison.

"Throughout the ages, such pagans have emerged one after another. Can they not become a big trend?" Xiao Yang added.

Meng Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "There is something different this time."

"The first thing this group of people attacked was the canal. They wanted to arouse public anger and prove that our Meng family is cruel, cruel and unruly."

"Furthermore, Medicine Slave is a magic weapon used by the Southern Barbarians to win. Why did it spread to our country, Chen?"

"Besides, they are not short of money! The Southern Barbarians are militaristic and rely on war to support war. They have no money to come to Chen Kingdom to do these things. So someone must provide them with a steady stream of funds to help them achieve their goals!"

And the most important point is that Meng Ying has never been able to figure out how the Southern Barbarian Army suddenly came to the city that night during the palace coup four years ago. He thought hard and made speculations, but he could never find any evidence.

Now it is true that the other party can't hold it back, and he takes the lead.

"Since they have action and money, they have strongholds not only in Quzhou, but also near Chenjing."

"Xiao Yang, let's explore again. Go to the lower reaches of the river, explore to the mouth of the tributaries, and then explore what kind of gold they are digging out everywhere!"

Xiao Yang nodded, "I understand."

Bai Zhi frowned: "My lord, you are such a black-hearted boss. I just came back, why do you need two days of rest?"

Meng Ying suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her gentle voice. He had been nervous just now, so nervous that his hands were sweating.

Meng Ying relaxed for a while, chuckled, and took her into his arms, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Yang unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth, so disgusting!
