Mixiang appeared.

At this moment, the benefits of early swimming training emerge, and the results of breath-holding training can also be applied here.

In addition, the antidote I carry with me is now working, and I take one in my mouth to keep myself awake.

Inside the house, Wu Fuyi and Yinzhen concentrated on raising their vigilance.

Outside the door, there was no further action to pry the door in.

After a moment of silence, a conversation sounded.

"Senior brother, there is no movement inside. People must be dizzy. The utility room is a couple of dock workers from Fuzhou. I think they are honest and honest, and their legs and feet are not very agile. Is it necessary to put medicine?"

"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years. If it weren't for the couple looking very dull, how could they easily let people come in and stay overnight today. Don't talk nonsense, I also released the incense in the other rooms, and there are two minutes left to start on time The meat lamp."

"If you want me to say that only guests with appointments are accepted on the Meat Lantern Day, and outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight, that's fine. There is no need to waste medicine."

"What do you know? If you keep the lodgers out on a regular basis, it will make people suspect that there are shady things in the temple."

The two people outside the door spoke a few words, then walked away.

Wu Fuyi, Yinzhen and the others made sure that there was no more noise outside the door, so they got out of bed quickly, and first went to the dilapidated window to breathe fresh air.

I lit another fire pocket, looked down and saw the ashes of incense sticks from the crack of the door, and there was no one outside the window.

The utility room was already in a remote corner, and it was even darker and quieter at night, with no other tenants around.

"The meat lamp? Have you heard of it?"

Wu Fuyi cast a questioning look at Yinzhen, and he also shook his head in doubt.

"Maybe some kind of slang?"

Yinzhen was not sure, there were many code words among the three teachings and nine streams that laymen could not understand at all.

However, he can be sure of one thing, "The two people outside the door just now are monks who collect sesame oil money during the day, and you want to go out to find out."

"That's right. Here, I will reward you with a set of equipment."

Wu Fuyi turned around and took out the luggage from the cabinet, and took out two sets of night clothes as if by magic.

"After you change it, don't forget to take all the money with you. Let's go and see what the hell is going on in Qingqing Temple. If the situation changes on the way, be prepared to evacuate directly.

Money cannot be less.At critical times, it can also be used as a hidden weapon.Throwing a handful of broken silver at the person who is chasing, taking advantage of the moment the other party is blinded by the money, he has won the opportunity to fight back. "

Not much nonsense, Wu Fuyi said a few words before changing clothes.

Yinzhen looked at the night clothes stuffed into his hands, and there seemed to be a line of words scrolling repeatedly on his head, "Why is this thing in the luggage? I don't even know it."

He was so full of slander that he didn't even have a chance to confide in it.

Time waits for no one. The monk who released the incense said that the lighting of the meat lamps will start in two minutes, but he does not know where it will be.

Wu Fuyi took out a sketch of the layout of the clean temple that he took time to draw.

"The scale of the clean temple is not large, and the circled places are most suitable for crowd gathering activities. But considering the possibility of underground secret rooms, the crossed positions are most suitable for building the entrance and exit of the secret room."

Yinzhen looked down, the light from Huozhezi was not strong, but it was enough to clearly illuminate the well-organized marks and routes on the map.

This is not a sketch of a temple, but more like a military strategy map.Those lines and icons seem to tell that the old ghost has completed a temple battle in his skull.

So, how did this military map-like thing appear? !

Yinzhen scratched his memory, after dinner, the old ghost spent half a cup of tea time painting and drawing, and probably made this painting out.

He really wanted to say something, but found that he was at a loss for words.Don't ask, Wu Fuyi is always ready, even looking forward to some unexpected excitement.

"how?"

Wu Fuyi raised his head, "I want to ask how I can infer the location of the secret road? It's just experience, it's not worth mentioning."

Yinzhen smirked back, what kind of experience can this have?

The perfect stalking locations are all marked on the map.If you think about it well, you are good at building secret passages, and if you think about it outrageously, you are good at sneaking in, stealing and assassinating.

Although he didn't say a word, he took the sketch very quickly with both hands, and carefully jotted it down in shorthand for the occasional need for escape.

Everything is ready and the time is almost up.

He quietly left the utility room to investigate the location of the so-called "meat ordering lamp".

At two o'clock in Haishi, the temple is quiet at night.

There was no moonlight on the first day of the first lunar month, and the lanterns hanging under the corridor gave off clusters of dim light.

After going around half a circle, no third person appeared.

The cold wind howled, and the branches were shaken by the wind and escaped sideways, casting shadows of teeth and claws on the road.

In the dark temple, there seemed to be monsters waiting for an opportunity to move.At any moment, it will suddenly pounce on the humans walking through the corridor and devour them in one bite.

The two went to the Dongxi guest house first.

Unlike the crowds of pilgrims during the day, it was so quiet that there seemed to be no human being alive.

Ashes of incense were found in the doorways of several rooms.

After counting, there are 21 other rooms that are very clean in front of the door.The outside listing shows "Occupancy", indicating that there are people coming to live here, but these people are not within the range of being stunned.

In addition, I didn't hear any voices of struggle and resistance just now, these pilgrims should have left voluntarily to participate in secret activities.

What is going on at the clean temple tonight?

Some pilgrims participated in it, but they actually wanted to stun other unknowing ones, preventing them from discovering the abnormal situation.

Leave the guest house area and continue to explore.

Passing through corridors, no one was found in the first few places where people could gather for activities.

Wu Fuyi pointed to the building on the far north side, where there is a large Dharma hall, which is usually used for monks or believers to gather people to listen to scriptures and distinguish Dharma.

If there is still no abnormality found in the Dharma hall, and the above-ground buildings are fine, it is necessary to search the underground.

Approaching the Dharma hall, the two had not yet reached the best tracking position after detouring, and they had already determined that the lecture hall was the place where the secret meeting was held.

Even though the doors and windows of the main hall were closed, the indistinct sound could still be heard.

In the silent night, of course, it is not men and women who are chanting scriptures, but the crowd is heard doing multiplayer sports in erotic pictures.

There are still a few feet away from the window.

Yinzhen's face darkened suddenly, and the magic sound poured into his ears, making him froze instantly on the spot.

Looking sideways, he saw Wu Fuyi continue to move forward, this posture obviously wanted to sneak a peek at the window to see what happened.

Hurry up!

The King of Yongjun peeped at the chaos of men and women gathering for fun, what a shame!

At this time, Yinzhen was very sober.

He knew that he could not speak to avoid exposing the two of them, so he immediately grabbed Wu Fuyi and gave him a serious and obstructive look.

Wu Fuyi was blocked halfway, and turned his head innocently and confusedly, why did he stop?

She pointed to her ears, then to her eyes, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing." There are no fewer cases of being misled by the so-called Eighteen Prohibition voices.

Now that you're here, you need to see what's going on in the hall.Exactly how many people are involved?What role did the monks play?

She stretched out her hand and drew a circle, pointing to the south of the main entrance of the Dharma Hall.

The two came from the side, which would signal Yinzhen to quietly go to the front to see if there is a monk guarding the door.

Yinzhen kept a straight face, reluctant but unable to deny this arrangement.

hateful!Why he can read the old ghost's eyes and body language, then it is necessary to admit that these further actions are necessary.

Time is running out and we can only act fast.

Yinzhen had no choice but to compromise, and tiptoed around the outside of the main hall for half a circle, secretly looking at the main entrance of the Fa hall at the corner.

Confirm that there are three monks sitting on the steps guarding the gate.One yawned continuously, the other dozed off with his head down, and the other was bored and staring at the sky, without much energy.

Turning back to the rear again, I found that Wu Fuyi was not at the original follow-up point, but changed a window.

The man squatted under the window sill with a cat, and had already opened the window a crack.

Wu Fuyi sensed the sound of the wind behind him, looked back at Yinzhen, and pointed to his nose as a reminder.

Then, she turned her attention to the palace again.This angle is chosen very well, and it can give a panoramic view of four-thirds of the scene.

The Dharma hall was very empty.

Few furniture and utensils are placed in the hall, and people usually bring their own futons when preaching scriptures, and people sit on mats.

At this moment, rows of candles were burning on the lampstands.

Dim light can see most of the crowd.The number of men and women is about one to one, less than 30 people in total, rolling the sheets in twos and threes.

Literally, the hall is covered with thin blankets of different colors and patterns.Those who are exercising include pilgrims who have met face-to-face during the day, and several monks are also involved.

Yinzhen was also close to the window, a faint sweet breath rushed into the tip of his nose.I have never smelled this smell before, it is very strange.

Wu Fuyi gave up his seat, indicating that he had finished observing.

He raised his eyebrows again and signaled Yinzhen to quickly check for omissions and make up for the vacancies. After the work is over, he needs to go to the next place immediately.

where to go?

Wu Fuyi patted his head, and again performed without a real object, leaning on the ground with a staff and pestle.

Yinzhen glanced at the crowd in the hall participating in the meat lantern activity, and immediately understood that Wu Fuyi wanted to go to the abbot's courtyard.

It is impossible to bypass the abbot of the temple for the chaotic gathering in the clean temple.Right now, he even saw with his own eyes that the abbot was one of the participants in the undressing movement.

All kinds of things tonight, from the conversation with the monk Fang Mixiang to the real chaos in the Dharma hall, it is clear that the illegal activities in the temple have continued for a long time.

From this, it is speculated that the truth about Wu Cunli, the prefect of Suzhou, who likes to worship Buddha also surfaced.

He is not interested in Buddhism, but in fact he is keen on seeking flowers and willows in the skin of the Buddha.It is easy to be targeted when you go to the Qinglou Chuguan, but the temple is different.It is normal to live for a day or two to worship the Buddha, and it is a very good protective color.

In connection with the forced selling and buying of people in Jiangnan, some monasteries not only provide venues for illegal transactions, but are even one of the organizers.

Tonight, the pilgrims who participated in it were both men and women.

Even though they were not forced to use force and participated voluntarily, it was very likely that they were tricked at first.

This kind of secret gathering of "meat lighting lanterns" has a word of "meat", which is not in line with the temple's rules of not being meaty. Judging from the facts, it is even more ironic.

Wu Fuyi made a prompt decision, taking advantage of the fact that the abbot was indulging in beauty in the dharma hall, and choosing a day would be better than hitting the day, so he seized the opportunity to go to the courtyard where he lived to find evidence.

Illegal gatherings like this are more or less documented.For example, who participated, how many times, money income, etc.

The two turned around and came to the abbot's courtyard. The courtyard door was ajar, and it was pitch black when they looked inside.

"Look out, meow like a cat if you have a situation. Two short and one long, a total of three times. If there is a situation, you will run away after meowing. I will jump the wall from behind and join the utility room."

Wu Fuyi quickly threw out this series of arrangements, which could comfort Yinzhen.

"Don't be nervous, don't be sorry, the chances of you needing to pretend to be a cat are not high. Looking at the state of the abbot in the Dharma hall, he won't come back for a while."

The corners of Yinzhen's eyes twitched slightly, it's time like this, can the old ghost be more serious!

"Be more vigilant! At most two quarters of an hour, retreat if you can't find it. There is still a chance later. I see that there is a high probability that there will be several disgusting rallies like this one every month."

"I have my measure."

Wu Fuyi didn't say much, and after saying this, he dodged into the abbot's courtyard.

However, Yinzhen tensed up tensely, and unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.

Seeing Wu Fuyi's back disappearing like the wind, he really had some psychological shadows.It's better not to say the old ghost's last sentence, can this person really have a sense of proportion?

Time passed little by little.

Outside the door of the abbot's courtyard, the dead branches on the ground were blown by the night wind, making a rustling sound.

Yinzhen was on high alert, staring at the corridors on both sides with all his attention.

Excluding eaves and walls and other paths, there are only two conventional routes that can reach the main entrance of the abbot's courtyard. Right now, even a fly is not let go, and I hope they will not come close.

Pray to gods and Buddhas?

No, this option was actively ruled out.

Wouldn't it be said that the gods and Buddhas shielded him, and now that he is in the filthy place covered with the skin of the temple, I am afraid that the gods and Buddhas will not pay attention.

Instead of praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, it is better to improve one's own abilities.

Yinzhen silently imitated meowing.

He didn't make a sound, but silently called two short and one long calls many times.Try to never get stuck when there is an emergency.

Even though he looked calm on the surface, he still couldn't help but looked back a few times.

I always feel that Wu Fuyi has been in for a long time, which seems to have exceeded the agreed two quarters of an hour.He spent seconds like years outside, and no one came out for a long time.

At this time, footsteps were heard in the distance.

The alarm in Yinzhen's mind flashed wildly, and he was always ready to meow, but he saw two monks passing by the path from a distance, and they didn't come this way.

It was a little far away, and I vaguely saw a few bundles of firewood in the monk's hand.Burning firewood in the middle of the night, maybe the group of gangsters are about to finish their work and need to take a shower.

This speculation makes people feel that time is running out, and the abbot is afraid that he will be back soon.

Take out the pocket watch, the pointer is biased towards the sub hour.

Counting, the illegal assembly has been going on for nearly one and a half hours.It stands to reason that a group of people are about to end.

Yinzhen hesitated whether to enter the hospital to search for someone, but did not let him take a step, and finally hoped that Wu Fuyi would rush back from behind the half-closed courtyard door.

"Go back to the house first."

Wu Fuyi said while stuffing the folded recording paper into Yinzhen's hand. "Take it, if something happens, anyone who runs out can send a message."

"You're very thoughtful."

Yinzhen didn't argue pointlessly that he had to be together if he wanted to run away, and it was even more impossible for him to refuse.

At a time like this, being emotional is like having a brain hole, and the clues that are hard to come by must be put away.

Perhaps, it was reason that prevailed, and they did not refuse to argue untimely, so that the two could return to the utility room smoothly without attracting the attention of others.

Enter the door and check that there is no movement in the house.

Close the door and lock it, change clothes, hide the night clothes and gear, and get back under the quilt quickly.

A series of actions were completed in one go.

The two covered themselves with quilts and lay on their backs with their eyes open.Everything seemed to be the same as it was more than an hour ago, and there was nothing like an overnight visit to the clean temple.

But the body is warm, and the body temperature gives a reminder. A series of investigative work makes people run around. It is not the state of lying in the cold bed before.

"I found the ledger in the abbot's room."

Wu Fuyi got straight to the point. In the dark, she didn't need to light a lamp to read the scraps of paper she had just copied. She recited the contents of the account books she saw.

Clean Temple has been established for more than 20 years, and the current abbot, Jing Shen, took office two years ago.

The account books in the house are only two years old. In addition to a series of financial records such as gold, silver and jewelry, there are four strange categories. "Insect", "Five", "Day", "Month".

"I didn't have time to say it before. During the day, I caught a glimpse of some pilgrims with strange markings behind the names of some pilgrims in the sesame oil donation book. Women are "worms" and men are "five".

Today, a total of 14 women went to make meat lanterns.On the sesame oil money booklet, there are exactly fourteen female pilgrims of the XX family marked as "worms" today. "

Wu Fuyi had a guess, ""Cong" might be a female prostitute, but I didn't see the pilgrims marked as "Five" today.The "five" in the record book last appeared on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, that is, eleven days ago, and the "five" may be a male prostitute. "

It is already a real hammer to hide the filth in the clean temple. Its discovery also proves that Jiangnan is the base camp of illegal human trafficking.It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive investigation and clean up all similar dens, so as not to allow more people to be lured into this way.

"What makes me uncertain is the related records of "day" and "month". "

Wu Fuyi reported the trading volume that lasted for five months, "It began to appear in August last year. The monthly trading volume is maintained within ten figures. I don't know what they represent. Could it refer to special identities?" People? Do you have any ideas?"

Yinzhen has been listening carefully without interrupting.

Listen to the analysis about "worm" and "five", and then think about "day" and "month".

As far as he knows, in the folk there are code names for female prostitutes and male prostitutes, "jade pupa" and "little hands".

When recording in the account books of Qingqing Temple, some of these images are taken and called "worms" and "five".By analogy, "day" and "month" may correspond to "yang" and "yin".

Combined with the number of shipments per month, I suddenly had a guess.

There is a kind of appellation in alchemy, saltpeter is called "Yin Jun", and sulfur is called "Yang Hou".These two things are common formulas for alchemy, but it is specially marked that Yin and Yang meet, and you must pay attention to the auxiliary materials, otherwise it will fry the furnace.

The stove blew up and the pill was destroyed.

Lost mulberry elm, harvested in the east, this process has derived a kind of thing - the formula of black gunpowder.

Today, the number of "days" and "months" recorded by the abbot of the Clean Temple is just like this formula. What does that mean? !

Thinking of this, Yinzhen's body froze, and he subconsciously held Wu Fuyi's hand tightly.

"Are you OK?"

Wu Fuyi felt a chill on the back of his hand, and turned his head immediately.Not surprised by being held by hand, but surprised by why Yinzhen's fingers suddenly felt cold.

She thought of the sweet and greasy scent she smelled by the window when she was watching the main hall of the Dharma Hall.

"Could it be a drug allergy? That trace of sex-promoting incense made you feel unwell? It shouldn't be! We are in a ventilated environment outside the hall, and the weak three-stem nine-leaf clover ingredient can work?"

What a mess!

Yinzhen was trembling with fear for the direction of "sun" and "moon", but he never thought that the strange sweet smell he just smelled was a kind of aphrodisiac. "Okay! You don't understand other pharmacology, but heresy, you know everything."

Wu Fuyi was suddenly stunned, and hearing Yinzhen's articulate speech, this person must have no traditional Chinese medicine?

"You've made a mistake again, right? You can't speak well anymore. I care about you, and I have no mistakes in my knowledge and ability. At this time, you should praise me for my knowledge.

"Ah!"

Yinzhen snorted, but stopped sneering.

He knew good from bad, and the old ghost's reaction was indeed that he cared about him.But it's hard to say such words against his will if he wants to praise him.

Simply skip this stubble and bring the topic back to the topic.

Yinzhen said all the inferences just now.

"The sun and the moon probably refer to saltpetre and brimstone. This formula is aimed at gunpowder. Someone wants to create an explosion, do you understand?"

"I understand that this means murder and treason."

Of course Wu Fuyi understood the implication, and also understood why Yinzhen's fingers suddenly felt cold. He was shocked by this speculation, because the explosion might have targeted Kangxi.

Immediately afterwards, she added: "Si, I really didn't mean to find fault. You just accused me of being crooked. But listening to what you said, you understand a lot.

What little hand, what jade chrysalis, where did you hear it?Moreover, you are still so concerned about alchemy, do you want to eat a elixir directly to death, so you can ask the gods and Buddhas to debate why it was unilaterally blocked? "

Although there are feng shui turns in the world, this time it turned too fast.

Yinzhen was kicked back on the spot, and couldn't continue to be shocked by discovering the shocking assassination plan for a while.

He was thinking about how to justify the innocence of knowledge.Those are the knowledge learned from the hidden guards and books, and you can't be a serious person just because you learned it, but who made him mock Wu Fuyi a few seconds ago.

How should I speak next?

Choose one of the two: "Be serious, now it is said that someone is plotting against you!"

Or "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Don't pretend, I admit it, we are all educated, well-read, and talented. Are you satisfied?"
