Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 524 Meeting in the ancient temple, there is suffering (1)
Su Xiaowan's work efficiency was even higher than Ji Chonglian imagined. Within three days, she found out the person's name and the place where she was staying, but that place had temporarily belonged to the King of Xiliang's guesthouse in Shangjing, and it was heavily guarded. No one here dares to approach easily.

Naturally, Ji Chonglian couldn't find any good reason to go in, so she had to send someone to guard the door of the annex, and took Shi Yong's portrait for comparison.

It's impossible for this person to stay in one place all the time without contact with the outside world. If he can get out of the annex, she can always catch a chance to meet him.

Ji Chonglian did not dare to bring this news to her eldest aunt Ji Minghui, because she was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

What if that person is not Shi Yong?Isn't she happy for nothing?
But what about Shi Yong?

After such a long time, why didn't he come back to find them?Why not tell them he's alive?

Is there any last resort?
Or... lost memory?

There were many speculations circling in her mind, and the days were spent anxiously waiting, and finally one day, she was given a chance.

The man suspected to be Shi Yong is now called Meng Hun.

Ji Chonglian always felt that this name was a mouthful, and she didn't know whether it was Meng Hun or Meng Hun. Who would choose such a name?
But no matter what, as long as there is a possibility that he is Shi Yong, she will not give up hope.

The people who went out with Meng Hun over there had already stared at him firmly, and there was news from here back to the general's mansion. Ji Chonglian didn't care too much, and asked the maid and nanny to take care of the children, and changed into civilian clothes He took An Ye out the door.

The carriage stopped on a mountain in the outskirts, and there was a rugged mountain road going up, so there was no way for the carriage to go up.

Ji Chonglian raised the curtain and asked, "I found out, are you sure it's here?"

An Ye replied respectfully outside: "Yes, ma'am, it has been up for half an hour, and our people guard the way down the mountain, and we haven't noticed anyone leaving!"

"it is good!"

Only then did Ji Chonglian nod her head, and after wearing a gauze veiled cap, she helped An Ye's hand and stepped out of the carriage.

The name of this mountain is Beigu Mountain, and there is an ancient temple named Ganlu Temple on the top of the North Peak. It was first built in the Eastern Wu Ganlu Period (265-266), hence the name "Ganlu Temple".

It is said that when the incense of Ganlu Temple was at its peak, there were more than 200 temples, halls, and monk houses. Even the two emperors of the previous dynasty built palaces here. Its architectural characteristics are different from those of Jinshan and Jiaoshan. With the method of "suppressing the mountain with temples", it has the tendency of flying pavilions to volley in the sky, forming the characteristics of "winning the mountain".

It's just that it's been a long time now, the incense has been cut off, and it has finally become an ancient temple with no one under the ruins.

Ji Chonglian was a little out of breath when climbing the mountain, and continued walking after resting for a while, just wondering how he got here?

After finally climbing to the top of the mountain, Ji Chonglian took a breath and glanced around.

Outside the Ganlu Temple is a semi-circular platform, with a corner protruding from the platform, from where you can see the whole Beigu Mountain scenery.

It's just that the wind on the mountain is a bit strong, Ji Chonglian couldn't help tightening her skirt.

Stepping over those missing corners or cracked bluestone steps, and then looking at the somewhat damaged dark red courtyard wall, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This feeling really seemed to have traveled through time. What about Shi Yong?
The former Daxiong Palace is no longer majestic, every corner is covered with old cobwebs, and the thick dust on the table gives people a long and old feeling. Every scene and everything here seems to be telling The history it has had.

"Ma'am, shall we continue the search like this?"

From the Tianwang Hall, the front hall just passed through, and checked the Guanyin Hall and the Pharmacist Hall on the left and right before arriving at the Daxiong Hall. After walking through such a hall of worship, it is really difficult to find a person. If that person wants It's even harder to hide on purpose.

Ji Chonglian nodded, her gaze was firm, "Yes, I must find him!"

Not only for the great aunt Ji Minghui, but also for the regret in her heart that can never be relieved. If it were not for her, Shi Yong would not have rushed to the northwest, nor would there have been news of his death!
So if it can be confirmed that he is still alive, it is very important to her.

"You have been following me for so long, what exactly do you want to do?"

A deep and hoarse voice sounded, and Ji Chonglian looked up in surprise, only to see a man in a dark blue robe slowly turning out from behind a somewhat weathered stone statue.

He has a strong build, and his appearance is not handsome, but his facial features are extremely angular, his nose is straight, and there is a cold and deep light in his eyes, and his hands are behind his back, showing a bit of displeasure.

An Ye stepped in front of Ji Chonglian, raised his eyebrows and looked at the man opposite. Although he was not wearing the clothes of Xiliang people, he still had a strong feeling of being an outsider, especially since he still had a one-foot stick hanging around his waist. Long treasured sword, this kind of sword is wider than the sword used by people of Daning country. It is in the shape of a half moon. The body of the sword is carved with complicated patterns and has inverted teeth. It is the Kunwu sword that Xiliang people love most.

Kunwu Knife is a knife made of kunwu stone smelted into iron. It is said that kunwu knives are used to carve jade. The knife cuts jade like mud, and it is extremely sharp.

With such a knife hanging on her waist, she didn't even need a scabbard. It can be seen that the other party's knife is very skillful. Looking at it, An Ye was even a little interested. She didn't know that Kunwu knife was facing her long sword. Will it win by one point?
Ji Chonglian's gaze was slowly fixed on the face of the opposite man through the thin layer of gauze, and a layer of water gradually appeared in his pupils.

Yes, it was so similar, it was exactly the same as Shi Yong, if it was said that he was not Shi Yong himself, even she would not believe it.

But are there really people who look exactly the same in this world?

"Who the hell are you? What's the purpose of following me for so long?"

The man put one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, his gaze became colder and darker, "If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude!"

The corners of An Ye's lips curled up, and he snorted coldly, "I want to see how you can be rude?!"

"An Ye, step back!"

Ji Chonglian's cold voice sounded, An Ye lagged behind slightly, and stepped aside respectfully.

But the man on the opposite side looked at Ji Chonglian with some disbelief. How could she appear in front of him like that voice that haunted him, that person he almost never forgot?

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, but slowly clenched it into a fist and closed it on his chest, with an unspeakable struggle on his face, "You...you are..."

Tears had already silently flowed down her face, Ji Chonglian took off her veiled hat, looked at the man in front of her with teary eyes, and even her voice was choked up, "Big cousin, don't you know me after so many years?" ?”
