Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 564 Iron Immortal Temple

It was dark.

In the willow forest in front of Tiexian Temple, there was a sound of horseshoes.

Not far away, Wang Mang and Lu Jiying quietly followed with their mounts, and they stopped within a stone's throw of Guanmen.

Watching the Taoist priest walk into the Taoist temple, Wang Mang pondered for a while, and said to Lu Jiying who was behind him, "How can there be such a lonely Taoist temple in this wilderness?"

Lu Jiying looked around and said, "There are no cottages or people around. This Taoist temple is indeed strangely built. Brother Wang, I can be sure that follower is a Taoist."

Wang Mang nodded: "Although it's getting dark now, I'm not mistaken, that attendant has indeed gone in."

Lu Jiying asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, what should we do now?"

Wang Mang thought for a moment, then said: "You stay here for a while, I'll go explore the way."

Lu Jiying nodded.

After Wang Mang finished speaking, he jumped up and arrived in front of the Guanmen after a few ups and downs.

……

At this time, in the main hall of the Taoist temple.

The entourage in black walked into the hall, only to see that the inside was empty, and there was a shrine on the Xumizuo in the center, and the tablet read: Iron Immortal Tablet.

Sitting on the futon in front of Xumizuo was a Taoist priest in black with a pale face and a haggard figure. His eyes were slightly closed and he held his breath.

The entourage in black came to Xumizuo, bowed respectfully and said: "Brother Longfeng, I'm back."

Taoist Longfeng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the attendants in black, and asked, "Where's Gu Yun?"

The entourage hurriedly replied: "Gu Yun led the brothers to take Mrs. Ning in a carriage along the official road to Tiexianguan. The younger brother packed Ning's bags in the inn and rode back on a fast horse."

Taoist Longfeng felt a little strange and said: "Since Yungu went first, why hasn't she arrived yet?"

The attendant in black said: "I don't know about this little brother, maybe he was delayed on the road?"

Taoist Longfeng nodded and said, "Have you got Ning's package?"

The attendant in black hurriedly handed over the package in his hand: "Here."

Long Feng waved his hand and said, "Follow me."

……

Outside the Taoist temple, Wang Mang stopped and looked around, and saw a big willow tree on the left side of the temple rising from the ground, the trunk was higher than the courtyard wall, and the branches and leaves protruded into the temple.

Wang Mang jumped up and stepped on the viewing wall and the tree trunk with both feet, leaping up with his body, hiding between the willow branches, pushing aside the leaves, and leaning forward to look into the viewing room.

It was very quiet inside, and the door of the food hall was closed tightly.

There are Taoist priests patrolling around every corner.

There is no hiding place in the courtyard.

Wang Mang frowned, and took a closer look at the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. He discovered that the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple knew martial arts, and it was difficult to enter without being discovered by them.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang jumped down from the tree and ran towards the willow forest outside the Taoist temple.

……

Lu Jiying waited anxiously from the outside.

A figure flashed in the distance, and Wang Mang rushed towards him.

Lu Jiying hurried forward to meet him: "Brother Wang, how are you doing?"

Wang Mang shook his head and said: "The security in the courtyard is very tight, and there is no place to hide. If you break in rashly, you will definitely reveal your hiding place and scare the snake."

Lu Jiying asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

Wang Mang pondered for a moment, then said: "I think brother Yuanfang will definitely come here too, why don't we wait until he comes..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Lu Jiying.

Lu Jiying noticed Wang Mang's gaze and smiled on his face.

Wang Mang said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Lu has a plan!"

Lu Jiying smiled slightly, and said softly: "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Brother Lu is really a wise man, he can see it through a little bit."

Lu Jiying said: "I pretended to go to stay overnight to distract their attention, and you sneaked into the temple by taking advantage of the gap."

Wang Mang laughed: "Heroes see the same thing."

Roujiying said: "We will act immediately."

……

The Taoist priests guarding every corner of the courtyard vigilantly.

On the big willow tree, Wang Mang gently pushed aside the branches and leaves, observed the situation in the courtyard, then turned around and gestured to Lu Jiying who was standing in front of the gate.

Lu Jiying nodded, strode to the gate, and knocked hard on the knocker.

The guarded Taoist priests in Guannei were taken aback, and several of them made gestures. One of them walked quickly to the door, while the others drew their weapons from under their robes and lay in ambush on both sides of the door.

The Taoist priest in front of the door stretched out his hand to open the door, but saw Lu Jiying standing in front of the door with a smile on his face and cupping his hands, saying: "This Taoist master, a poor scholar came here by mistake. Seeing that it was getting late, I beg the Taoist master to help you. Stay overnight."

The Taoist was taken aback: "Are you staying overnight?"

Lu Jiying said, "That's right. Please help me, Master Dao."

The Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, and winked at his companions lying in ambush on both sides, and everyone hid their weapons and gathered around the door.

Lu Jiying was still begging for a night out.

The Taoist priest who opened the door said: "My benefactor, there are many people and few houses, and there is no house to borrow. You should go elsewhere."

Lu Jiying said: "Don't tell me! It's in the wilderness, where do you want me to find someone else.

In case of encountering bandits who rob me, look at my small body, which is not big enough to fit between my teeth.

The monks are compassionate, so you can do whatever is convenient for you.

Even if it is in front of the porch, as long as there is a place to hide. "

The Taoist next to him said impatiently: "You are very talkative. You said that it is inconvenient to stay in Guannei, but you have so many excuses. Go, go!"

Lu Jiying pretended to be anxious and said: "Hey, let me tell you, what monks talk about is making things convenient for others so that you can make things convenient for yourself. There is a saying that there is a fate of three liters of rice at the gate of the mountain. How can you be so petty!"

The Taoist shrugged off and said: "Okay, don't talk about it, it's inconvenient for monks. Hurry up, and while it's still early, there will be someone in a few miles."

Lu Jiying cheated and said: "I am a guest and don't bother the two masters. Tonight, you will allow me to stay overnight. If not, I will be here with you..."

He took a step back, looked up at the plaque on the temple and said: "... sleep overnight in front of your iron fairy temple."

As he said that, he even sat down in front of the door, and said loudly: "Anyway, I'm resting here, all Taoist masters come in and out, just hit me and step over!"

While speaking, he simply lay down on the ground.

On the big willow tree, Wang Mang looked at Lu Jiying lying on the ground playing tricks, and couldn't help laughing.

The Taoist priest who opened the door said angrily: "This man is very rude, and he is playing tricks here. Come on, everyone, lift him aside, don't block the door!"

With that said, several Taoist priests swarmed up, lifted Lu Jiying and walked out of the temple.

Lu Jiying yelled and kicked and refused to stop.

Taking advantage of this commotion, Wang Mang, who was on the tree, jumped up, put his feet on the trunk, and flew high under the cover of night, leaped into the courtyard like lightning, and rushed straight to the eaves of the temple, and hid between the beams and pillars in a blink of an eye.

Several Taoist priests threw Lu Jiying out the door, turned around and closed the door.

Lu Jiying shouted outside: "What kind of monks are you? You are more ruthless than those at home! Seeing that I am poor and poor, you even threw someone on the ground heavily.

Even if it is a sack, you should throw it lightly!Well, if you treat people who study like this, a certain person will die in front of your gate! "
