Qi Yue Wuyi

Chapter 48 Mountain Temple

"Looks like we won't be able to reach the city before dark today. Let's find a place to rest first." Qingyun said, everyone nodded, and walked for a while, and saw a very dilapidated small temple ahead.

"Let's live here first." Nanfeng said, Tianyi smiled and looked at Qingyun: "Who let someone get lost?"

"I... I didn't do it on purpose, I have a bad sense of direction." Qingyun blushed a little, touched his nose, "That..."

"Didn't you also find out?" Li Chongwen asked.

"Okay, okay." Qingyun said, "How does General Li feel?"

"It's okay for now." Li Chongwen said, his injury is better, and now he is riding with Xue Niang and others.

"Don't force yourself, there is still time left and right, let's set up camp here." Qing Yun said, after all, Li Chongwen is not a genuine general, and he didn't have such a big battle when he went out. He only brought a small team, but Taihuashan They are well-known in the Jianghu, so no one troubles them along the way.

But today this small temple is really gloomy, there is a village below, and there are sporadic lights, but now it is very late, so I didn’t go to the village to bother, and sent a few people to gather firewood to make a fire, Nanfeng first went to push the temple away He opened the door, and a burst of dust choked him several times on his hind legs.

"Ahem, hey, this village is quite special."

"What's the matter?" Hearing what he said, Qingyun next to him also walked over to take a look: "Really, how did this village worship King Ksitigarbha?"

"Is there something wrong?" Tianyi stepped in, "It's just an ordinary small temple, what to offer is the freedom of others."

"It's true, even if they worship Huoyun evil god, it's not up to us to dictate." Qingyun walked up and touched the altar, "At least I'll borrow someone's place to rest for the night, Nanfeng, find a piece of cloth to clean the altar."

"Hey, good." Nanfeng is also a young master, but in front of the seniority of this group of people, he can only run errands. He used to pretend to be a fool, but since the last time, he didn't even bother to pretend to be stupid. .

Nanfeng found a cloth, dipped it in some water, cleaned up the altar, and wiped the incense burner, only then did he notice something unusual: "It's not right."

"what happened?"

"This incense burner... is made of gold." Nan Feng said, and he wiped it a few more times. It was covered with a layer of black matter, which was difficult to wipe off, but it revealed a piece of gold underneath. "I thought it was made of gold." The lacquer now looks like a stain."

"Golden incense burner? Black stains?" Tianyi came over and twisted a piece under his nose and kissed it, "It's blood."

"Blood?" Nan Feng asked in surprise, "Why is this incense burner covered with blood?"

Tianyi didn't speak, and knocked it over, the incense burner rolled to the ground, and the sand inside spilled all over the place, he squatted down, picked up the sand and found three sticks of incense left after burning: "These sands are new, Someone deliberately replaced the sand for incense.”

"That's strange. Since you are offering incense sincerely and know how to replace the sand, why don't you clean the incense burner as well?" Qing Yun raised his eyebrows, "Besides, the sand is not clumped, so it shouldn't take long to replace it. .”

"Is there a master here?" Nanfeng asked in surprise.

Tianyi shook his head: "If there is an owner, it won't allow it to fall so much dust." He pointed to the desk, "The material of this desk seems to be made of trees outside, and the carvings can be saved. , and it’s already worn out, since they have gold to make incense burners, why would they just cut down a tree and make a table?”

"You mean, someone brought the incense burner from outside?" Nanfeng asked curiously, "Why did you stay here?"

"I think this statue of Ksitigarbha will tell us the answer." Qingyun pointed to the statue of Ksitigarbha, "I think he will tell us who is the owner here."

"My darling, there are so many good things hidden in such a ruined temple." Nan Feng was dumbfounded and speechless, Li Chongwen smiled bitterly: "Who knew that borrowing for a night would lead to such a big thing."

"It's still talking about staying overnight, but we haven't slept all night." Xueniang snorted, "This Ksitigarbha looks dirty, but it's quite delicate after washing. Look, this pair of beads are the best night pearls. It's worth the old money, and the stones, bricks and tiles of this temple are all gold, the whole gold temple!"

"This Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was moved here from another place." Tianyi touched the eyes of Ksitigarbha, "This is a black pearl from the South China Sea. It is impossible for this kind of pearl to be preserved in this environment. It will become dull after a long time, but this pearl has such a luster, and this Buddha statue has not been cast for a long time."

"Who is it, and why did it cost so much to build this temple here? And it's all gold and silver. If people find out, they will dig it up."

"General, we asked the people at the bottom of the mountain, and they said that there has always been an earth temple here. It has been haunted three years ago and no one has been there since, and they don't know why it happened like this."

"Three years ago?" Nan Feng asked curiously, and Qing Yun looked at him: "Is there something wrong?"

"No, no, I just feel that everything has something to do with San recently. Three years ago, Yan Bai disappeared, and three years ago, the earth temple here suddenly turned into a golden temple..."

"The earth temple here is not turned into a golden temple, but someone secretly built a similar golden temple inside the earth temple, and then demolished the outer temple." Tianyi pointed to a shallow mark outside the door, "The old foundations can still be seen here."

"However, what Nanfeng said may be right." Qingyun said, "With such financial resources and manpower, to complete such a project quietly, the forces behind it are unimaginable."

"Do you think it has something to do with Chang Xiaoqi?"

"Chang Xiaoqi was the only survivor of the Taiping County homicide case, maybe the tomb robber was also counted, but Chang Xiaoqi said that he died of illness immediately after he came out, so how could anyone know that Chang Xiaoqi came out of Taiping County and do it for him? How about making such an arrangement?"

"Maybe it's just that Chang Xiaoqi doesn't know."

"Only one person can know this kind of thing, and that is the general Lin Xilin who was sent to take inventory after General Taiyu reported the situation. This General Xuanming is not a celebrity, and his abilities are average, but Shengzai has always been near Taiping County. activities, so he was sent nearby, only he could find such a missing person during the counting, and the robbery hole where Chang Xiaoqi escaped." Qing Yun said.

"Maybe he told someone?" Nanfeng asked.

"No, he works under Lin Luo. If he wants to tell others, Lin Luo will definitely know. If Chang Xiaoqi is found, he will definitely expose General Taiyu's lies. So this matter, either, General Taiyu secretly looking for People suppressed it, or, this Lin Xilin himself did not report."

"Lin Xilin didn't say it himself, he kept it from everyone." Tai Xueniang said, "I have an impression of this name. He would send some gifts to his father every year. I heard from my father that when my father was a general in his early years, he once Worked for my father, who taught him."

"That is to say, Lin Xilin did not tell anyone out of personal reasons. Yes, if he has such a relationship with Taiyu, of course he will not let this matter get out. Then, how did the person who found Chang Xiaoqi find him?" of?"

"Could it be that Chang Xiaoqi found Baiyun Palace by himself?" Tai Xueniang asked curiously.

"Impossible. The Baiyun Palace that Chang Xiaoqi found is actually the seal of my mother's Baiyun Palace. Even the five sects don't know about its existence, so how could Chang Xiaoqi know about it?" Nanfeng asked.

"Shangfeng? It's really interesting for you to go to Fengfeng, and you have created a Baiyun Palace again, as a substitute?" Tai Xueniang asked curiously.

"Do you still remember that Chang Xiaoqi was the first to ask Nanfeng for help after his accident?" Qingyun asked.

Tai Xueniang nodded: "I thought he was sent by Nanfeng."

"Yes, this is the reason for the two Baiyun Palaces. If you don't know the inside story, you will of course misunderstand."

"It doesn't make sense. If Nan Feng says he doesn't know him, I will still believe Nan Feng. You think Chang Xiaoqi has already lied to us once, so why would it be so strange to lie to us again?" Peng Hu scratched his head.

"But Nanfeng didn't refute, he acquiesced, didn't he?" Qingyun looked at Nanfeng, and Nanfeng smiled: "The original purpose of the construction of Baiyun Palace was for this, so..." He rubbed his nose and went to see Other things, everything in the whole temple was made of gold, cleaned and placed in a row, he picked up two gold candlesticks to play with, he didn't really want to answer this question.

Qingyun sighed, he could only say that his responsibility lies, and no one can do anything about it.But what kind of existence is the White Cloud Palace behind that, to have such abilities.

"It can only be said that the Baiyun Palace behind this has great powers. You also said that there is no one who cannot be bribed. Maybe Lin Xilin said something, or maybe his subordinates know something..." Before Tianyi finished speaking, I heard Nanfeng snort.

"These gold utensils... I have seen them before."

"Have you seen it? Where?"

"Every piece of gold here has a mark on every gold brick." Nanfeng pointed it out, it was a rather shallow mark, not very conspicuous, and the shape could not be seen vaguely.

Qingyun took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to rub it down, Nanfeng asked curiously: "That's it, what kind of sign is this, weird? It looks like a circle?"

"It's a dragon."

"Dragon?" Nanfeng asked curiously, "Is this a dragon?" No matter how you look at it, it's just a jade ring, although the engraving of the dragon's head is really not very good.

"It is said that the dragon was put together from the totems of many tribes during the Yanhuang period, but in fact it was only fabricated by later generations. The dragon in the early years looked like this." Qing Yun pointed to the ring, "Looking at it, it probably came from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. s things."

"It's been thousands of years..."

"More than 2000 years." Tianyi said, "According to this, the animal pattern on the incense burner and the cloud pattern on the candlestick are all patterns carved on ritual vessels at that time."

"Hey, Nanfeng, where did you see the cultural relic?"

"No, no, I'm not very interested in cultural relics. I should have seen them recently, and I'm sure the things I've seen are definitely not cultural relics." Nan Feng frowned, "But I can't remember."

"It's also possible that someone imitated the decorations made of the patterns at that time."

"No, no, no, I'm sure I saw it on a wall." Nan Feng said, "A wall with... a strange color?" He suddenly felt a headache, and squatted down, covering his head in discomfort, Qing Yun He hurried forward to feel his pulse: "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." Nanfeng only felt that his eyes were blurred. He stretched out his hand and grabbed something. This action exhausted his last bit of strength. He fell down in a daze and fell asleep.
