Escape after crossing

Mingyue looked around and analyzed calmly: "Maybe that person is hiding nearby with the young master of the Fang family. Let's look around." Her eyes were firm and sharp, and she didn't seem to be willing to give up easily.

Jiang Ziluo nodded in agreement. The two began to search the temple carefully, from the ground to the roof, from the walls to the corners, leaving no place untouched. However, after searching for a while, they did not find any clues.

Finally, their eyes fell on the big statue at the same time. The statue was several feet tall and lifelike, just like a real person. They looked around the statue but didn't find anything wrong.

Mingyue stared at the statue, thought for a moment and said, "This statue seems a little strange, let's go up and take a look."

Jiang Ziluo heard this and hurried forward to help. The two of them carefully climbed onto the base of the statue and carefully examined every part of the statue. The surface of the statue was extremely smooth, without any flaws, as if it had been carefully polished.

Suddenly, Mingyue discovered a faint mark on the back of the statue, which was not noticeable unless one looked carefully. He gently touched the mark, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

"Something seems to be wrong here..." Mingyue said in a low voice.

Jiang Ziluo took a closer look and also found the trace. She frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "It doesn't look like it has just been moved. It must have been a long time since anyone moved it."

Mingyue nodded, and the excitement in her eyes dimmed. Jiang Ziluo didn't want to spoil the fun, so he said, "Let's look around, maybe there are other mechanisms!"

The two of them searched carefully again, and finally, they found a small mechanical button on the top of the statue. There was a secret door, and she was delighted, and motioned Jiang Ziluo to come over and take a look. Jiang Ziluo looked closer and found that it was indeed a hidden passage.

The two decided to go in and find out what was going on. They walked into the passage carefully. The passage was filled with an old smell and the light was dim. They could only barely see the road ahead.

Walking slowly along the passage, the ground under my feet made a creaking sound from time to time, as if it would collapse at any time.

As they walked, a fork appeared in front of them. Mingyue stopped and looked at the passages on both sides, then pointed to the passage on the left and said, "Let's go this way." Jiang Ziluo nodded and followed Mingyue into the passage on the left.

The passage became narrower and narrower, and finally only one person could pass through. Mingyue led the way, and Jiang Ziluo followed closely behind. Suddenly, Mingyue felt a breeze brushing her cheek, and she quickened her pace.

What was in front of him was no longer a narrow passage, but a spacious room. There was a book on the table in the room. Mingyue walked over first and picked it up.

After reading for a long time, Mingyue still couldn't understand what was written. "Girl, I don't understand."

After spending such a long time together, Jiang Ziluo knew that Mingyue and Mingxi were both literate. When he heard Mingyue say that she couldn't understand, Jiang Ziluo became very curious.

He took the book from Mingyue and flipped through it. The words on the book were crooked, like a child's graffiti, but there were some patterns to follow. Jiang Ziluo stared at the words for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what they meant.

"Strange...why don't I recognize these words?" Jiang Ziluo muttered to himself.

"Could it be some special code or secret phrase?" Mingyue guessed.

Jiang Ziluo shook his head: "Not really, it feels more like something written down at random. But why does it appear here?"

The two of them fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Jiang Ziluo remembered something. She turned the book to the last page and saw a line of small words: "This is just my casual note, please don't be surprised."

"So that's how it is!" Jiang Ziluo suddenly realized, "It seems that this book is just some thoughts or notes written by someone casually, and it doesn't have any special meaning. Let's continue looking for other clues."

So, the two put down the books in their hands and decided to continue searching in this room. They searched everywhere, not missing any corner that might hide secrets, but in the end they found nothing.

In desperation, they had to leave the secret room. After leaving the secret room, Jiang Ziluo fell into deep thought. She felt a little strange. Since the man in black took Master Fang away, how could he not leave any trace? This was obviously not in line with common sense.

She thought about it seriously, thinking that she and Mingyue must have missed some important clues. So, the two decided to go back to the place they had found before and search again carefully.

They carefully returned along the original route, taking every step with extreme caution. This time, they were no longer in a hurry like before, but carefully observed everything around them, fearing that they would miss any key clues again.

As time went by, the two became more and more nervous. But they always believed that as long as they looked carefully, they would definitely find some clues.

Finally, Jiang Ziluo found a jade pendant in the grass. She picked it up and looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was worn by Young Master Fang.

Jiang Ziluo looked carefully at the grass again. As expected, if he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be able to tell that the grass here had been trampled on by someone.

It was just that they were too careless just now. When they saw the road, they went straight towards the ruined temple.

"Girl, what did you find?" Mingyue asked curiously when she saw Jiang Ziluo standing still.

"I found this jade pendant!" Jiang Ziluo said excitedly, "This should be what Master Fang is wearing."

"Great! Then let's go find him." Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She was also very nervous and anxious.

Jiang Ziluo nodded, put the jade pendant in her arms, and then walked along the path beside the bushes with Mingyue. Along the way, she carefully observed the surrounding environment, fearing that she would miss any clues.

After walking for a while, Jiang Ziluo found that the grass in front of him suddenly became taller. After looking carefully, he found that it was not grass, but a reed marsh.
