[Lu Xiaofeng] Blindness

It was not until evening that Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing finally arrived at Qingzhou City.

The guards at the door all looked sick, and they didn't bother to check the people who came in and out. It is estimated that they would not want to come here to stand guard if it wasn't for dealing with the superiors.

It can be seen from this that this originally rich town has fallen into decay at this moment.

Lu Xiaofeng asked several people before he found out where Ximen Chuuxue was staying, and immediately rushed over with the reluctant Sikong Zhaixing.

"Since you are here to save people, why are you looking for Ximen Chuuxue?"

"He has the same purpose as me." Lu Xiaofeng waved at Sikong Zaixing, "Okay, I'll go see him later, you don't want to continue sleeping in the wild tonight!"

"Master has a place to live, why would I need to live with you!" The boy in common clothes looked disgusted.

Lu Xiaofeng shrugged: "That's better, and it saves a lot of money."

He turned around and entered the store, and he didn't bother with Sikong Zhaixing any more. Instead, he went to the shopkeeper to ask for a room first, and then asked.

"Is there a young man in white who is about my age living in your place today?"

The shopkeeper took his money and pointed to the upstairs: "That's right, I live upstairs!"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "He and I are friends, please tell me the exact location."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the people around him didn't look like villains, he said, "Go upstairs and turn left to the fourth room."

When Lu Xiaofeng knocked on the door, Ximen Chuuxue had just finished bathing and her hair was still wet.

"The location of your room is well chosen." Looking at the entire street.

Ximen Chuuxue ignored his greetings, and said directly: "What's the matter?"

"Are you also here to investigate the plague? Since the purpose is the same, why not share information."

"I never work with people."

Lu Xiaofeng continued to smile.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, why don't you listen to the news I heard here first, and then discuss it?"

Ximen Chuuxue didn't say a word, Lu Xiaofeng took it as if he was willing, and immediately poured out everything he knew.

From how brave I am, being kind and reliable, to the point where an old man hugged his thigh and begged bitterly, and then his heart softened, he ran all the way here to suffer and so on.

"Speak the key."

"In short, according to that uncle, the source of this plague must be related to Qingshan Temple, why don't we go together?"

"Qingshan Temple?" Ximen Chuuxue repeated, and said in a deep voice, "It's not plague, it's poison."

Lu Xiaofeng snorted and said with a smile: "Heroes see the same thing!"

Qingshan Temple is not a well-known place, and few people come to worship at ordinary times. This is a temple funded by the Dingnan Palace, because the tomb of the former Nanwang is here, and it is not uncommon to raise some monks to guard the tomb. .

Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and knocked on the door, a young novice came to open the door, he was taken aback when he saw the three people in front of him.

"Three benefactors, what are you doing here?"

Lu Xiaofeng cupped his hands: "I'm here to find Master Guangci, the abbot of Xungui Temple."

The little monk was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then please wait for the three to enter first, and I will report right away."

Lu Xiaofeng stepped in, Sikong Zhaixing followed, Ximen Chuuxue's eyes fell on the dense green grass growing under the outer wall of the temple.

"This temple is not small." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, turned around to look at Ximen Chuuxue, and couldn't help asking: "What did you find?"

Ximen Chuuxue held some green herbs in his hand, ignored him, but asked a young monk in yellow who was sweeping the floor: "Is there death in this temple?"

The little novice shyly looked at Ximen Chuuxue and shook his head: "It never happened before."

Lu Xiaofeng unconsciously said: "The entire Qingzhou City is deeply ravaged by the plague, but here I don't feel it at all."

The little novice quickly closed his hands after hearing this: "The two benefactors don't know something. Although our Qingshan Temple is adjacent to Qingzhou, the water we drink every day is the clear spring of the mountain stream, and the grains we use are all grown by ourselves."

Lu Xiaofeng snorted, and said with a smile: "Little master, don't be nervous, I just sighed casually."

He still wanted to inquire about something more, but there was already a Buddha's name coming from behind him.

"I have seen three benefactors, and this old man is the abbot of this Qingshan Temple."

The Guangci monk was about sixty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wearing a precious yellow cassock, and when he slowly walked over with a large string of Buddhist beads in his hand, even a non-believers like Lu Xiaofeng felt a little extraordinary.

"I have seen the master, we are here for the plague in Qingzhou City."

The monk clasped his hands together and sighed, "Come when you should."

Lu Xiaofeng obviously also saw that this monk must know something inside, so he and Sikong Zhaoxing exchanged a glance.

"Please also ask the master to clarify your doubts."

Guangci nodded: "Speaking of this matter, it is also a disgrace to my Buddhist school. Twenty years ago, I met a young monk who wandered here. His name is Xuanruo, and he was born in Qinglong Temple. I talked with him about Buddhism for three days. , benefited a lot, and then left him to live temporarily in Qingshan Temple, but he did not expect that half a month later, Princess Lanning of Dingnan Palace happened to come to pay respects to the clan tomb..."

The following things are indeed a bit embarrassing to say, Xuan Ruo is handsome and gentle, the princess got married three years ago, but kept her solitary confinement, no one knows who took which step first, but when they found out, both of them were already married. It is a promise of life and death.

King Dingnan was furious, but it was really hard to publicize the matter, so he had to punish his daughter severely in secret. As for Xuanruo... Guangci does not know whether he is dead or alive now, but it is conceivable that the people in the palace will definitely not Let go of this monk who has brought shame on his family.

"What does this have to do with the plague?"

Guangci plucked a leaf from the flower pot on the ground.

"Xuan Ruo is familiar with the principles of medicine. Back then when the people from the Nanwang Palace came to hunt him down, he used this to avoid more than a dozen attacks. If the Nanwang Palace hadn't invited the masters from the palace, they would definitely not be able to stop him."

"The plague that is raging all over the city now is actually his proud work in the past. It is precisely because he is too obsessed with the art of poisoning that he was kicked out of Qinglong Temple."

Lu Xiaofeng gasped unconsciously, he really didn't expect it.

This monk who dared to kidnap the princess of Dingnan Wang's family and elope with him actually has such a powerful and exaggerated poison technique.

This is the scope of a town, and it can be affected by it.

"After the plague broke out, I also ventured to visit Nanwang's mansion. Although Pingnanwang didn't anger Qingshan Temple because of what happened back then, he didn't mention Xuanruo's whereabouts at all." Guangci sighed, " When the poor monk wakes up, Xuanruo probably lost his life, Qingzhou City is under the jurisdiction of King Dingnan, and there is such a big disturbance in the Nanwang Palace, it is absolutely impossible for the Nanwang Palace to remain indifferent."

"This is left by Xuan Ruo."

Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, then took the leaf from the hands of Monk Guangci.

Until he left Qingshan Temple, Lu Xiaofeng felt that things had developed beyond expectations.

Ximen Chuuxue was holding the sword, not knowing what he was thinking, but along the way, he completely penetrated the silence.

"Two, at least say something!"

"Now the clue is very clear. Next step, we should go to Nanwang Mansion and pay a visit to that Dingnan King."

Sikong Zhaixing snorted: "He is a majestic prince, how can you be a commoner who can call on you at will."

"Then there is still you! Sikong Zhaixing, who aspires to become the world's number one thief, should not be difficult for you to go to the palace and find out the news!"

"Heh, so much effort, what good is it for me?" Sikong Zhaixing couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Ximen Chuuxue when he said this, "Isn't there still one standing, can you find him?"

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to say something, but saw that Ximen Chuuxue had already turned and left.

"Ximen Chuuxue you!"

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to call him to stop, but within a few breaths, he was already invisible.

"His lightness kung fu is not inferior to monkey spirit!" Lu Xiaofeng had just finished sighing, when Sikong Zhaixing stared over with a dark face.

"What did you say?"

At night, Dingnan Wangfu.

Neither Lu Xiaofeng nor Ximen Chuuxue actually considered the possibility of coming to the door to inquire directly. Since it is such a private matter, it is already inappropriate for outsiders to know, and it would be even more ugly to speak out in person.

What's more, it's not sure whether what Abbot Guangci said is true or not, it's all one-sided, and you have to find a way to confirm it yourself.

The best breakthrough that Lu Xiaofeng thought of was naturally the Princess Lan Ning who had an affair with Xuanruo. This princess and her husband are now living in the Nanwang Mansion. That's it.

"How is it?" When Sikong Zaixing turned around from the corner with a proud face, even Lu Xiaofeng showed admiration unknowingly.

Because what appeared in front of him at this moment was no longer the boy in civilian clothes, but a handsome young monk in cassock.

Before in Qingshan Temple, Lu Xiaofeng asked Master Guangci about the appearance of that monk Xuanruo, if he took advantage of the night and entered the boudoir of the princess to test it out, he would have an answer to whether this matter is true or not.

Although this method is really not fair, the two of them are not knights who are too rigid about etiquette, let alone there is a reason for the incident.

"Monkey spirit, come up!"

Lu Xiaofeng beckoned, and the two of them avoided the night watch guards of Nanwang Mansion, and quietly reached the backyard.

But what the two of them didn't know was that there was only a wall between them and Ximen Chuuxue.

Compared to the sneakiness of these two people, although Ximen Chuuxue had changed into night clothes, she leaped over the rooftops silently all the way with light skills.

He actually knew a little more than Lu Xiaofeng did. For example, there was actually a dungeon in Pingnan Palace, which was specially used to detain vicious criminals and enemies.

These secret things were mentioned by Yu Luocha to him occasionally, although he didn't care about it at the time, but now he recalled it a little bit, and he remembered it.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others decided to contact the princess, while he came to confirm the location of the dungeon.

The night was dark, with dark clouds covering the moon.

The further in, the more intensive the patrols. Ximen Chuuxue waited for a while before finding a chance to turn into the meeting hall.

It was pitch black, and the sporadic moonlight outside the window couldn't come in, but it should be below this place, but I don't know where the mechanism is hidden.

Ximen Chuuxue put on gloves, and touched the tables, chairs and cabinets bit by bit, but found nothing.

When he was wondering where the organ would be, he suddenly noticed the grand master's chair placed at the highest point of the hall, which was upright and three feet away from the wall. Ximen Chuixue stepped forward and fumbled on the armguard After a while, it was soon discovered that the thumb-sized wood carving decoration on the top could be rotated.

"Crack——" Accompanied by a slight movement, a dark passage was revealed behind the wall.

Ximen Chuuxue stood at the door and waited for a while, took out the fire pocket, and walked inside carefully.

There are stone steps at the foot, but there are not many steps. After turning a corner, the eyes are brighter, and red candles are lit on the walls on both sides.

Ximen Chuuxue noticed that there are many passages here, each of which seems to have a different direction, and may be able to connect to the outside of the palace. This King Dingnan dug his own underground passages to extend in all directions. No wonder he has a high-rise building in the palace. Some courtyards have none.

Walking along the widest road in the middle, but also faintly spreading downwards, Ximen Fuxue is not sure if he has chosen the right one, but since he is here, he must find out the specific path first.

Fortunately, he was lucky.
