On the mountain behind the side peak, winding along the stone path, passing through clumps of fruit forests, and then winding down the mountain stream, they saw a wide waterfall with a cave next to it. There were several houses in the cave. There is a large stone standing beside the house, and three big characters are carved on it, "Longpanxi".

Hehe, this is not a creek at all, it's just a name.

Ouyang Xia is very strange, it is clearly a waterfall, why is it called a stream.

Later, the little Taoist priest Shi Dao who led the way told them that when the ancestors discovered this place a hundred years ago, there was only one stream trickling down, and the several streams in the back mountain had their own origins.

It is only said that one year, the dragon leading the city turned over and came here, and the stones outside the cliff above fell, blocking the outlet of the stream in front, and they all rushed here, forming a waterfall.

The road below is a bit steep, and it rains frequently these days, making it very wet and difficult to walk. The Taoist priest walked in the front, and Si Yelin took Ouyang Xia's hand and followed closely behind. Ling Shan, Ling Shui, and Jiang Xiao were ready to help at any time people's preparation. ,

"Be careful." Si Yelin took his hand and walked across the soft ground, finally reaching the flat ground at the entrance of the cave.

Ouyang Xia raised her head and looked towards the tall cave entrance. Behind a few houses is the dark cave bottom, which is not deep. From here, one can see that there are many stones at the end of the cave, and some strange flowers grow there.

The house? Under the entrance of the cave, there are stone tables and the like, and there are several rows of vegetables and beans planted on the side of the mountain, which is very quiet and elegant.

After they approached, the door inside was pushed open, and an old man with plain clothes and a curvy body came out.

Shi Dao stood in front of the house and said with a smile: "This is Shanbo. The temple master rescued him from the bottom of the mountain two years ago. Later, he saw that he was helpless and there was a lack of a cleaner here. Let him do the cleaning here. He also grows vegetables."

Shanbo glanced at them, a little timidly: "These people are..."

"This is a distinguished visitor from Guanli, come here to play, if you are curious about this place, come and have a look."

"Oh." Shanbo nodded, without looking at them again, he went straight to the nearby vegetable field to pick vegetables.

Shi Dao looked at Ouyang Xia and said with a smile: "Prince, son, please come inside."

Si Yelin and Ouyang Xia stepped into the back room, the room was very clean, it can be seen that Shanbo cleaned it every day, the tables and chairs were very simple, all made of bamboo, there was a small desk on the right side, with a few books on it And some bottles, there is a screen of green mountains and flowing water on the left, and the room is connected to the back.

Ouyang Xia found that it was very cool inside, probably because it was inside the cave.

There is also a small kitchen next to it. Ouyang Xia stepped into the back room and found that cooking was actually going on inside.

The kitchen was also very clean, there were several bowls and chopsticks, the fire was sizzling, Ouyang Xia knew that rice was cooking inside without smelling it.

Inadvertently raising his eyes, he saw Shanbo in the vegetable field secretly peeping at them with a panicked expression.

Jiang Xiao said in a low voice; "Why do I feel that there is something wrong with this old man."

Ouyang Xia nodded and said, "It's really not right."

Si Yelin's voice came from the next room: "Axia."

"it's here."

Ouyang Xia stepped out of the kitchen, saw him holding a book in front of the bookshelf, and hurried over.

"I didn't expect there are many books here." Standing in front of the shelf, Ouyang Xia randomly took a book and opened it, and found some strange books.

Si Yelin handed him the book in his hand, with a serious expression on his face: "Axia, read the words in this book."

"What word?" Ouyang Xia took it, turned to the place where his fingers were holding, and found a note there, and when he saw the handwriting clearly, he opened his eyes wide.

Only four words are written on it: There is an omission here.

Why did Ouyang Xia's face change so much? Because he had seen these handwritings before, on Shui Lin's note.

These strokes and strokes, so familiar and disgusting, are exactly Shui Lin's own handwriting.

Pupils opened slightly, Ouyang Xia blurted out: "Why is there his handwriting?"

Si Yelin closed the book, his eyes were cold: "It's very simple, he has been here before."

"See if there are any other books?"

"Ah."

The two casually picked up the book next to them and flipped through it carefully, and sure enough, they saw a line of writing in another book, which was also written by Shui Lin.

Then they also saw annotations in other books, but it was written by another person, and the words were very elegant.

Shi Dao didn't know what they were thinking, thought they were just looking through them casually, and said with a smile: "These are some books that the temple master has kept privately, he usually likes to look through them."

Ouyang Xia turned her head, smiled and said kindly: "I just don't know about your temple master, but do you have any good friends who are always here?"

Shi Dao shook his head, and said: "Our temple master has very few friends, and he hardly leaves the Taoist temple. One or two friends are all out of town, and haven't been here for three years."

"I see how these books are often turned over."

"In the past, the master often read these books."

Shi Dao felt that there was nothing wrong with his words, so he didn't take it seriously.

Ouyang Xia put the book back, and looked at Shanbo who came in with deep meaning in his eyes.

Shan Bo didn't dare to look at them, he hurried into the kitchen, and soon there was the sound of washing vegetables.

Not long after, the sound of cutting and frying vegetables came from inside, and the aroma of vegetables slowly entered the house.

"Let's go outside and take a look."

"it is good."

Si Yelin pulled him outside, wanting to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.

Outside the house, the wetness of the waterfall came, and below it was a turbulent stream flowing outside, washing the stones next to it very clean.

Ouyang Xia looked at Shi Dao, and said with a smile: "Master Shi Dao, I just don't know when your temple master likes to live here?"

Shi Dao didn't doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "Generally, I only come here occasionally. Two years ago, the master of the temple seemed to realize something, and he has been living here since then, and occasionally returns to the temple."

"It's really the practice of an expert in the world, who can find peace in the noise."

They didn't stay for long, Ouyang Xia and Si Yelin walked slowly back to the Taoist temple along the path they came from.

After leaving the cave, Ouyang Xia glanced backwards, looking at Si Yelin: "Rin, guess what I saw in the kitchen just now?"

"Let's listen to it." Holding his hand, Si Yelin's eyes swept across the surrounding mountains and forests.

Ouyang Xia said: "I found a lot of meat in the kitchen just now. Rice was stewed on the stove, there was a food box beside it, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks, which looked very commonly used. The most important thing is that the meat cut on the board was not at all Not for one person."

Si Yelin said: "What does A-Xia mean, they eat together?"

"En." Ouyang Xia nodded and said, "If there are not two people, why are you preparing two sets of bowls and chopsticks? Even if he can eat for two people, there is no need to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. There is only one The explanation is that there is another person eating here, and the lunch box next to it indicates that he is taking the meal for the other party to eat."

Then who is it that asked Shanbo to bring him food?

It is said that there are no other people living here, and judging by the situation, it has not been a day or two

Ouyang Xia glanced at the stone road at the back, thinking that nothing would come out of his mouth.

Si Yelin said coldly; "Watch this person."

Ling Shan made a bow: "Yes."

When the group of them returned to the temple, it happened to be lunch time, Ouyang Xia and Si Yelin sat in the side room to eat, and did not go to the dining hall.

The food was very delicious, at least to Si Yelin's taste, it was very light. As for Ouyang Xia, he brought a bottle of chili sauce with him, just dip it in his mouth.

After the meal, Dr. Luo knocked on their door and said that he had something to tell them.

Doctor Luo sat across from them, stroked his beard and smiled, "I just got some news, do you want to hear it?"

"Tell me and listen." Ouyang Xia personally poured tea for him, smiling all over her face.

Doctor Luo smiled and said, "When I was chatting with Wuxiang just now, I asked him, and he explained that he was normal before Enlightenment, and some weirdness started two years ago."

"It was two years ago again." Ouyang Xia and Si Yelin looked at each other, thinking that two years ago was so important.

The hut below also began to live regularly two years ago, and it was two years ago here.

Si Yelin thought of something, and said: "Two years ago, all the changes were probably two years ago. Maybe, it was at that time that Ming Wu, who was originally pure and inactive, became Ming Wu with power."

Since it started two years ago, they have to start checking two years ago.

Ouyang Xia looked at Miracle Doctor Luo, told what he found in the wooden house before, and finally said: "I'm sure, that Shan Bo will definitely deliver food to another person."

Doctor Luo frowned, and said, "There's not even a single bit of human habitation around there."

Everyone is at the foot of the mountain, who will he deliver food to?

"We have people watching him, and if there is any trouble, we will know it immediately."

Ouyang Xia thought of that Shan Bo, the other party didn't know any martial arts, that is to say, he was just an ordinary person.

Si Yelin said coldly: "We also found something on the bookshelf, it can be seen that some people who shouldn't have come in that wooden house.":

"Then how are you going to deal with it?"

Doctor Luo didn't ask what they found, because if he asked, he might get involved.

Except for his medical skills, he can't help, so forget it.

Ouyang Xia pondered for a while, then said: "The most important thing now is to ask how he came here? Does he also have something to do with Mingwu?"

If there is, then Shui Lin, who has been hidden for five years, may surface.

Since they took away the last lair of the Dark Dragon Pavilion five years ago, Shui Lin has disappeared without a trace, no matter how hard they searched.

Ming Wu may be their latest breakthrough.

Si Yelin said: "If no other problems can be found after two days, then we will return to Beijing."

As long as he returns to Beijing, he has his own way to get the news they want from Mingwu.

So what if he is valued by the emperor again?

He is just a celestial master, and he is the emperor's favorite brother, fighting for the emperor's favor with him is simply courting death.

Having grown up in the palace since childhood, and having been the prince for so many years, it was only a question for Si Yelin to let someone die silently.

Ouyang Xia said: "The fact that he can write on that book shows that he lived in that wooden house. Because he read the book and found mistakes, he couldn't help but make notes."

If it is natural, that is to say, he either has a strong relationship with Mingwu, or he has lived in the wooden house for a long time, so he thinks it is natural to mention words on it as his own home.

No matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with Ming Wu.
