Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

It seems that Tianji is really a bad guy with principles?
Moreover, she was very disdainful of this practice of defrauding people of their money, and she just curled her lips. Does this mean that she once opposed this practice?
But in the end it failed?
So this is one of the conflicts between her and Beidou Society?

Is this also one of the contradictions that broke up the two?

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart, but did not show any expression on his face.

He said, "Okay, we've seen enough fun, let's go back."

Having said that, he turned and walked away.

"Qin Wenyuan."

At this time, Tianji chased over and said, "Don't you want to stop them from deceiving the people?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled: "They are not the people of the Tang Dynasty, why should I care about them?"

"Besides, this is Nanzhao, an enemy country. You asked me to stop them... Are you hoping that I will be discovered and get into trouble?"

Tianji frowned.

I wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, I finally didn't open my mouth.

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Tianji, smiled, and said, "But I am actually somewhat interested in the religion that the Beidou Society has created."

"So, Tianji..."

Qin Wenyuan extended an invitation: "Are you interested in accompanying me to explore Beidou Temple tonight?"

Beidou Temple is where the so-called Beidou Goddess is.

The Beidou Temple sounds more like a Taoist temple.

But in fact, Beidou Temple has nothing to do with Taoist temples.

Taoist temples originated from many myths on the Central Plains. It is a cultural belief that has been passed down for thousands of years and can be regarded as a native belief in beauty.

But the Beidou Goddess in Beidou Temple is like a rootless duckweed, completely fabricated by you, and is evil.

However, both of them are places for believers to worship with the word "Guan" in their names, and the people in Beidou Temple wear sun and moon Taoist robes, which are slightly similar to traditional Taoist robes. If one does not know much about it, it is easy to confuse the two and think that Beidou Temple is a kind of Taoist temple.

But in fact, the two have nothing to do with each other.

Qin Wenyuan even suspected that the creator of Beidou Temple, that is, Beichen, or other star-themed people, had referred to or simply plagiarized the ideas of Taoism and created a forgery.

When Tianji heard what Qin Wenyuan said, he couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan and frowned, "You want to visit Beidou Temple at night? Why?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Curious. Aren't you curious?"

"Is this Beidou Temple really just a tool for Beidou Temple to make money? Or is there another secret?"

"Beidou Temple is the only thing of Beidou Society that is visible. Perhaps we can find some secrets of Beidou Society from Tiandi Temple."

"So, no matter what the reason is, I must investigate this Beidou Temple once."

"How about it? Do you want to go and have a look together?"

Qin Wenyuan invited Tianji.

In fact, he originally didn't want to bring Tianji with him. After all, watching Beidou Temple at night is not an easy task.

And if Tianji, a treacherous person, were to cause trouble in Beidou Temple, it might ruin his plan and even put him in danger.

But today, when he saw Tianji was disgusted and disgusted with Beidou Temple's money-making, Qin Wenyuan suddenly changed his mind.

Tianji did have his own sinister plans that he couldn't reveal, but in some ways, he did have something in common with me.

So, Qin Wenyuan changed his mind and wanted to see if his judgment was correct.

Of course, it was impossible for him to not be on guard at all. He had made sufficient preparations, so even if Tianji caused trouble at that time, he would be able to leave safely.

However... Tianji will have no good days from now on.

Tianji didn't know that Qin Wenyuan had so many things in his mind. She frowned and thought for a while, then she exhaled lightly and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Qin Wenyuan smiled, put his arm around Tianji's shoulders, and said with a smile: "He is indeed my good brother."

"Who is your good brother!"

Tianji looked disgusted.

Qin Wenyuan laughed and didn't care.

It was still early, so Qin Wenyuan took everyone back to the inn.

He ordered another table of food, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they all returned to their rooms.

He said to Sishe and the others, "Tonight, Sishe and Tianji will follow me to explore Beidou Temple. The rest of you should rest well here. If you don't see the three of us coming back tomorrow morning, you should leave Taihe City immediately, find the army, and tell Xue Rengui to stop the attack immediately and return to the border to garrison. Nanzhao is in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Sishe and Tianji looked a little solemn.

However, they also understood what Qin Wenyuan meant. If Qin Wenyuan, with his intelligence and wisdom, could not escape safely, then Nanzhao would definitely be in great danger.

In this situation, when the true situation of Nanzhao is not understood, retreating is the safest option.

The other shadow guards were a little worried about Qin Wenyuan's safety, but they also knew that they were Qin Wenyuan's last resort and were responsible for the important task of delivering information, so they could only suppress their anxiety and stay here to wait for follow-up.

"Snake."

Qin Wenyuan added: "You guys take a rest first. We will be ready to set off at midnight. Before that, take a rest and conserve your energy. Tonight is dangerous and we must stay in the best condition."

"Yes!"

Sishe took Tianji back to the room to rest.

Qin Wenyuan also returned to his room.

Lying on the couch, thinking about the stone statue of Beidou Niangniang, Qin Wenyuan frowned slightly.

He believed that sculptures based on human appearance would not appear out of nowhere, and there must be some references.

Even if it is not a reference for a person, the eyes and nose must have been a reference in the sculptor's mind.

So who was the reference for this sculpture of Beidou Niangniang?

Why doesn't the Beidou Society have a Beidou Eunuch, but instead has a Beidou Empress?
Is there any secret in this?
Qin Wenyuan felt that given the Beidou Society's style of doing things, they would not create such a human sculpture as a belief of the people for no reason.

There must be some reasons for this.

But Qin Wenyuan couldn't figure out the reason in a short period of time.

There are too few clues at present.

Perhaps after he visits Beidou Temple at night, he will be able to get some useful clues.

Perhaps we can guess the situation of this Beidou Goddess.

After yawning, Qin Wenyuan didn't think any more and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When Qin Wenyuan opened his eyes again, it was already midnight.

As soon as Sishe knocked on the door, Qin Wenyuan woke up instantly.

He quickly stood up, without any large weapons, and took two daggers, hiding them at his waist.

After tidying up his clothes and making sure everything was ready, he walked straight to the door and opened it.

Sishe and Tianji were standing outside.

"Come in." Qin Wenyuan said.

The two of them quickly entered Qin Wenyuan's room, and Sishe closed the door.

Qin Wenyuan looked at the two of them and said, "Have you rested well?"

Sishe smiled and said, "Very energetic, very spirited."

Tianji didn't say anything.

Qin Wenyuan didn't care. If Tianji was as well-behaved as Sishe, that would be a problem. "Then stop talking nonsense and let's go."

Qin Wenyuan opened the window.

He happened to live in a room facing the street, so this was the most suitable place to leave.

He walked to the window and looked down.

There is a curfew in Nanzhao at night, so there is no one down there at this time. The streets that are bustling during the day are now quiet.

Qin Wenyuan looked around and confirmed that there were no patrolling soldiers, so he said, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, he jumped out of the window and, with the help of a tree opposite, landed on the ground nimbly.

Sishe glanced at Tianji, Tianji curled his lips and quickly jumped out.

The snake is the last to jump out.

Qin Wenyuan had reminded him before to keep an eye on Tianji and to do anything only after Tianji had done it. Tianji had to be in his sight at all times.

Therefore, Sishe’s most important task today is actually to keep an eye on Tianji.

Tianji naturally knew all this, but there was nothing she could do. If she refused to be watched, Qin Wenyuan probably wouldn't let her out.

The three men were dressed in night clothes and moved quickly on the street.

Qin Wenyuan and the other two were all very skilled in martial arts and their movements were very agile, so even when they encountered patrolling Nanzhao soldiers, they were able to dodge at extremely fast speeds.

The patrolling soldiers of Nanzhao had no idea that not far from them, in the shadows, there were some people hiding in the dark.

After the patrolling soldiers left, Qin Wenyuan and the other two continued to move forward.

They were moving very fast and soon arrived at Beidou Temple.

The decoration of Beidou Temple is quite gorgeous. Standing outside, you can see the tallest tower inside.

The tower is five stories high and is the tallest building in Taihe City.

Very conspicuous.

At this moment, the gate of Beidou Temple was closed, but there were lanterns hanging outside, emitting a soft glow that dispelled some of the darkness.

Under the light of the lanterns, the three words "Beidou Temple" come into view.

Qin Wenyuan took a look at the luxuriously decorated Beidou Temple and the tall tower inside the temple, and chuckled, "It seems that the status of Beidou Temple in Nanzhao is really not simple. Even the government buildings of Nanzhao here are not as tall as it."

Tianji remained silent and did not respond.

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Tianji and was a little surprised.

Tianji was unusually quiet.

This is not like Tianji's character.

why?
Is there anything special about Beidou Temple for Tianji?

Qin Wenyuan was suspicious, but he didn't show it on the surface. He chuckled and said, "Okay, let's hurry up and act."

As he said this, he walked to the side of the courtyard wall and easily climbed over the wall.

Standing on the wall and looking towards Beidou, the vision suddenly became clearer.

I saw that the Beidou Temple was very simple.

After passing the gate, there is a wide square with two rows of houses on both sides, which seem to be for the members of Beidou Temple to live in.

Directly opposite the square is the five-story tower.

The tower is completely black and looks a little weird under the moonlight.

A tall tower that was completely pitch black was placed under the moonlight. No matter how bright and pale the moonlight was, it was still so dark. This scene really made Qin Wenyuan feel a weird feeling.

He suddenly remembered a work he had seen in his previous life - Nine-story Demon Tower!

However, this tower only has five floors.

But the weird feeling was even more obvious than the nine-story demon tower he saw in his previous life.

"It's really quite a monster!"

Qin Wenyuan chuckled, turned around and made a gesture to Sishe and the other man, and they immediately jumped up.

Sishe looked at the five-story black tower in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Why does this tower feel a little creepy?"

Qin Wenyuan looked at Tianji and asked with a smile: "Is black the color that you Beidou would like?"

Tianji curled his lips and said, "It is said that the Beidou Society was founded by Guiguzi, and has always been responsible for stabilizing the political situation and overthrowing the corrupt dynasty. No matter what they do, they always claim to be for the people of the world, so how could they use black, a color that is obviously not like a good person?"

"Qin Wenyuan, you don't think that the people of Beidou Society think that their behavior is bad, right?"

"No, they are very good at brainwashing themselves. They think they are doing things for the people of the world, so killing some people and letting some people die are all necessary sacrifices for their greater cause."

"They are not pure evil people. If you treat them as such, you are really wrong."

Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "The saint I think I am?"

Tianji thought about it and smiled: "They really think that what they do is not much worse than that of a saint."

"interesting."

Qin Wenyuan chuckled.

He regarded those people in Beidou Society as extremely evil and treacherous people.

Some heartless and ungrateful people will do anything to achieve their goals.

But according to Tianji, Beidou Society did not think they were doing bad things. Instead, they thought they were doing the things of saints.

This is interesting.

Due to different concepts, the choices on some things may also be different.

Qin Wenyuan took note of this point, perhaps it would be useful in the future and would enable him to judge the behavior of the Beidou Society more effectively.

But now is not the time to think too much.

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath, suppressed these active thoughts, and looked into Beidou Temple again.

The entire Beidou Temple was silent, with only a few lanterns swaying in the wind and some lights.

Apart from this, the entire Beidou Temple was very dark.

"Let's go, and be quiet."

Qin Wenyuan didn't delay any longer and quickly climbed down the wall.

The movement was like that of a cat, and it landed on the ground very gently.

Tianji and Sishe also jumped down one after another. Tianji seemed to be particularly sensible this time and did not make any noise, which made Qin Wenyuan very satisfied.

"Let's go into the tower."

Before coming to Beidou Temple, Qin Wenyuan had done some homework.

He knew that in Beidou Temple, the Beidou Tower was the only place of worship, and the other buildings were only used for eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping.

Therefore, if you want to explore the secrets of Beidou Temple, you have to enter the tower.

He was wearing a night robe, like a night elf, and soon arrived in front of the Big Dipper Tower.

Standing in front of the tower and looking up, I found that this Beidou Tower is really very tall. The pure black tower body, the pale moonlight, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops form a special picture.
