Chapter 18: The Arrow

Follow the Taoist priests to cross the mountain gate.

Facing us are two narrow lotus ponds in the vestibule of the Taoist temple. The dark green round leaves are a bit dull in the dull sky.

Water curtains were hung on the left and right corridors, and some bright yellow candlelight came from the main hall of the temple opposite the mountain gate, and the sound of chanting scriptures was faintly heard.

Further behind, there is a tower and the back courtyard of the dojo where many wing rooms are located, connecting the back mountain area surrounded by dense forests of Lianfeng Mountain.

The towering courtyard walls can be seen everywhere, with mottled rain marks on the surface.

At first glance, it looks quiet and peaceful, but I don’t know how many dirty things are hidden below.

"We are divided into two teams to move, An Jing, you have met Yan Dongsheng before, and take two people to search with you."

Captain Wu looked around, his eyes fell on An Jing, and said,

"If you find any information, please inform me immediately!"

Want to attract attention to buy time for the army to siege.

The best way is naturally to let the members of the Qinggui thief in the dojo work.

"Mr. Wu, I only need a guide here. Why don't this Taoist priest accompany me for a walk?"

An Jing's eyes were fixed on the young Taoist priest beside Dai Renguan, and he stepped forward and asked.

Judging from the other party's performance at the mountain gate just now, it is certain that his status in Qigui Taoist Temple is not low.

An Jing wanted to take this man away alone and let other Taoist priests or Qinggui thieves present lose their backbone.

The young Taoist priest who was still supporting Dai Ren Guanzhu wanted to say no, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he noticed the "kind" gaze of Captain Wu next to him. He realized that he could not give the latter a chance to get angry, so he could only nod and agree.

"My surname is An, my name is Yi Jing, I don't know the name?"

An Jing deliberately chose the opposite direction from Captain Wu, and the two walked in the corridor on the right.

"Where is the next road, Qingpingzi, where will Lord An go to search?"

Qing Pingzi asked with a faint smile as her eyes passed by Miao Dao and the crossbow behind An Jing.

"If Yan Dongsheng and Chen Si were hiding on the mountain, they would definitely need food. I would go to the kitchen to take a look."

An Jing walked forward two steps, came to Qingpingzi, suddenly raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice,

"You don't know, those two guys are thieves, and they are best at flying over the eaves and walls. Maybe they will hide in the kitchen now and eat big pieces!"

The words fell.

Qingpingzi turned her head suddenly.

The eyes were facing each other, and the thunder sounded suddenly in the sky!

"There are Taoist children guarding the kitchen in the dojo. I think if the bandits break in, they will definitely notice it."

Qingpingzi bowed and took a step away, and said with a calm expression.

"Yes, that may be because I think too much, but I still have to search for it. The Taoist priest leads the way, right?"

Staring at Qing Pingzi's expression change, An Jing smiled and said with a smile.

Wait for the Taoist priest to turn around and lead the way forward.

The smile on An Jing's face suddenly disappeared, and he half-closed his eyes.

It seems that I've prepared for it

The two walked along the promenade to the kitchen.

After all, it is a place where people often kill animals and have heavy fireworks, so the kitchen is in the most remote location on the right side of the temple.

After passing an archway, the two stepped into the side hall path.

The voices of Captain Wu and others behind him gradually disappeared, replaced by the sound of drizzle hitting the branches and leaves on both sides of the road.

"Is the Taoist priest a native of Lanyang City?"

An Jing took out the spiritual vision talisman and wiped it through his eyes. He looked at the buildings on both sides while walking, and asked casually.

"Yes, I am an orphan. I was adopted by the audience since I was a child and grew up in the dojo."

Qing Pingzi, who was walking in front, turned around to respond, noticed the talisman in An Jing's hand, and his eyes condensed.

“Have you been to other places?”

He deliberately slowed down and carefully observed the nearby temples. He never noticed the flow of dark energy. An Jing raised his eyebrows.

Just as imagined before the action begins.

The Qinggui Thieves have moved the things that may have been found in the dojo and involved in the ghost moth case to a hidden place.

No wonder it was just a symbolic block at the entrance of the mountain. It was obviously enough to ensure that they couldn't find anything.

It’s a pity that An Jing and others have already confirmed their identities in advance through the Cold Ghost and the reporter who captured them alive last night.

This trip came, searching was just a secondary task.

The main purpose is to "get angry"!

The dojo is not big. After walking about a hundred steps along the trail, An Jing saw the wooden door in the backyard where the kitchen is located.

There are many diabolic cages in front of the door, and the courtyard door is also open.

An Jing leaned forward and saw three men in coarse cloth short clothes who were processing ingredients in the yard. The sudden visit of An Jing and Qing Pingzi obviously surprised them, and they all turned their attention to the two.

“Will there be food stolen in the kitchen on Tuesday?”

Qingpingzi took the initiative to step forward and asked the three of them.

"Stolen? Are you joking? Who can come to the mountain to steal food? Besides, what we eat every day in our temple is not good. If you want to steal food, there are not many restaurants in the city?"

The middle-aged man with a cloth scarf on his shoulder stood up and expressed surprise at Qingpingzi's inquiry.

Qing Pingzi, who got the answer, was about to tell An Jing that nothing was stolen, but found that the latter had not listened to them at all. His eyes were flashing with a shimmer and he walked straight into the kitchen.

Wait for An Jing to enter the kitchen.

The three people in the yard stood up one after another.

Zhou Er, who was a rural villager before, turned his back to the kitchen, raised his hand to wipe his neck, and looked at Qingpingzi with inquiries.

Qingpingzi shook her head and signaled them not to act rashly.

In his opinion, the yamen is just suspicious of Qigui Taoist temple and there is still room for maneuver.

If the person who investigates the case dies here, it is tantamount to actively exposing his identity.

But just as Qing Pingzi was about to take An Jing away after he was helpless.

However, an arrow suddenly rose in the back of the dojo!

The harsh roar was accompanied by crimson fireworks, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark cloudy sky!

What's going on?

This sudden arrow made Qing Pingzi stunned in place for a moment. Then she thought of the hidden things in the back mountain, her face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and her eyes looked at the kitchen.

"The situation has changed, there is something wrong with the back mountain, you guys."

An accident in the back mountain was undoubtedly beyond Qing Pingzi's expectations. Just as the order was about to be issued, he saw that the kitchen door was suddenly kicked open.

An Jing walked out of the kitchen with a calm face, stared at them and cursed,

"Damn it, you guys who have sons without assholes should kill the pickled goods that have thousands of knives."

"Mr. An is a bit ugly!"

Qing Pingzi, who was upset by what happened in the back mountain, heard these dirty words and subconsciously refuted them.

But when he said this, he seemed to think of something and raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"Yo~ Taoist priest, have you grown up in the Taoist temple on this mountain? Do you understand the swearing in Lingnan?"

An Jing took the apple he touched from the kitchen and ate it, and looked at Qingpingzi with a playful face.

He took a lot of effort to learn these slang words for swearing people.
