Chapter 548: A Huge Mystery

Han Sifu and her maid Lan Xiang did come to the Taoist temple that day. Lan Xiang was killed, and the body was found on the farm, and an arm was found in the lotus pond of Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Han Sifu also disappeared that day.

.

If something happened to her, the location of the incident should be in the Taoist temple or the village.

It’s just that this Taoist temple has something to do with Zhuangzi in Dingyuan Marquis’ Mansion. The two are only closer, that’s all.

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang couldn't understand this. After asking the little Taoist priest, they sent him away and continued to visit the Taoist temple in order to find clues.

When they walked to the backyard, they saw a bamboo forest. The bamboos were planted very densely and formed a natural barrier. They didn’t know whether the bamboo forest could be a Taoist temple or some other place.

The two of them went around elsewhere, but found nothing, only this bamboo forest.

“There seems to be a trail over there.”

Liu Yunxiang took Yan Mu for a few steps to the east, and sure enough, there was a small path covered with bluestone. The path was very narrow and could only allow one person to pass. Yan Mu was in front, Liu Yunxiang followed behind, and the two walked into the bamboo forest.

.

After entering, the dense forest covers the sky and the sun is dark, and it feels like winding paths are hidden.

After walking in, he vaguely heard movements in the forest. Before Liu Yunxiang could see anything clearly, Yan Mu turned around and hugged her, took a few steps back, and then two thick bamboos fell down.

Liu Yunxiang was still in shock, "What's going on?"

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "It seems that some people don't want us to go inside."

"Someone just now?"

"It's very fast and the kung fu is very good."

When I went to see where the bamboo broke, it was clearly cut with a knife.

"You go to the front of the hall and wait for me, I'll go inside and explore." Yan Mu said.

"I'll be with you!"

Yan Mu looked back at Liu Yunxiang and saw that she looked determined and asked her to leave her alone, he was indeed worried.

"Then follow me."

"good."

Liu Yunxiang simply pulled Yan Mu's sleeves, and the two walked past the bamboos crossing the path and continued to walk in. In fact, the bamboo forest was not deep. After walking a while, they reached the end.

It was suddenly cheerful outside, as if it was at the top of a mountain, with wide open all over the place, and there was a small courtyard not far away, but the gate was wide open.

"Someone has gone down the path over there!" Liu Yunxiang pointed to the lower part and said.

Yan Mu took Liu Yunxiang to chase after him. Because it was too far apart, he could only see three figures, and the men and women could not tell the difference. They walked in a hurry, as if they had received the letter in advance, deliberately avoiding them.

This road leads to the foot of the mountain. The two chase after him and turn a corner. When they chased him to the river, the three of them became one. The man was blocked by the river and could not escape, and he seemed to want to escape.

He bent down and scooped up a handful of water, washed his face, then shook his hand, and turned around.

Seeing the man's face, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang were both shocked.

It turned out to be Han Zicheng, the eunuch general manager around the emperor.

Han Zicheng pretended to be surprised when he saw them, "Hey, King Zhenbei, Princess, and I met you so much in this mountain."

Yan Mu's heart was circling, "Brother-in-law alone?"

Han Zicheng looked around, "Will there be ghosts around his servants?"

"What are my father-in-law doing here?"

"Come and wash your face."

"Wash your face?"

"Your Highness doesn't know. This drinking water comes from a cave in Yunxia Mountain. It first gathers in the Taoist temple and then flows down. The water used in the Taoist temple to make immortal dew is this water. It is said that it has the effect of eternal youth, and is not as good as Your Highness.

Come and wash with the princess.”

Han Zicheng had a smile on his face, and he was obviously making up randomly. He was not afraid that they would not believe it. Anyway, he was not illegal here.

"My father-in-law should be in the palace at this time, right?" Yan Mu asked again.

"The emperor asked the slave to come and give the offerings. If your highness doesn't believe it, you can go to the palace to ask the emperor."

Yan Mu's eyes were deep. Han Zicheng opened his eyes and whispered, but he didn't catch those two people just now, so he couldn't expose anything at the moment.

"I have finished my errand and I'll go back to the palace now. Let's take a walk."

As he said that, Han Zicheng walked down the river.

At this time, Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang remembered something at the same time, ran to the mountain together, and ran to the yard. The door was still open and the inside was empty.

"There might be someone inside just now." Liu Yunxiang said.

They saw someone running out and subconsciously chased after him, but they didn't expect that there might be someone inside.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "If there were anyone inside, who would it be?"

"A person who can make Han Zicheng obey and cover up."

"Is Shangguan Xu coming to Taoist temple today?"

"Is it him?"

I'm just guessing now, but if it were him, what else would he have to hide?

There seemed to be a huge mystery in front of the two, but they only saw this mystery but had no way to solve it. They walked out of the bamboo forest and saw Taoist Hongxuan coming down from Xuanyuantai with pride.

Seeing them, Taoist Hongxuan quickly made up his posture and came forward to salute seriously.

"Your Highness, the princess, is really rude."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Taoist Hongxuan's sleeve bag, which was bulging and probably had a money bag.

"The Taoist priest made a lot, right?"

Hongxuan laughed dryly, "I made the princess laugh, but I just wanted to support so many disciples. That little bit of incense and oil is really not enough. However, although my divine pill does not have the magical effect of prolonging life, it can really strengthen the body, so we rely on conscience.

.”

Liu Yunxiangmo, his conscience is so expensive!

Taoist Hongxuan turned to Yan Mu, "Seventh Prince, you were very scared in the palace that day, right?"

Yan Mu's face turned black, "No."

Taoist Hongxuan laughed: "It's nothing to steal the sky and change the sun. I have even better skills, so you probably don't dare to try it."

"I don't dare to do anything, but the Taoist priest insists on showing his ability to me. Is it necessary?"

"I still say the same thing, I want to tell you a fortune for Your Highness."

“Why?”

"Calling the destiny, the universe, and the general trend, to determine the path I will take next."

"What path do you want to go? You should tell yourself the fortune."

"But I think your highness's road may be easier."

"The path I took may not lead to the end you want."

"Your Highness can't help but."

Yan Mu was silent for a while, "Are you really a Taoist priest?"

Shouldn’t a Taoist priest not be concerned about the world and devote himself to practicing Taoism?

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "Master Hongxuan has a heart to save the world. Taoism can cultivate nature and may not be able to save people. Immortals still have to come down to earth to overcome tribulation. After experiencing eight sufferings, Taoism has emerged from the world and constrained the secrets of heaven. This is to be born and overcome tribulation.



Hongxuan looked at Liu Yunxiang again. This time his eyes became darker, as if he had only begun to put her in his eyes, know her, and figured out her, "I don't know the princess, right?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I just heard of Taoist priest."

"Why sigh?"

"I wish I had met too late."

Hongxuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's true that we met too late. The princess is my confidant."

"I also want to see the Taoist priest's ability, but have this honor?"

"nature."

Yan Mu, Liu Yunxiang and Hongxuan came to Xuanyuantai again. Hongxuan sat down cross-legged, and Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang also sat down.

A burning incense was lit next to it, and the wind blew across the cheeks with sandalwood, but it seemed to blow into the mind and into the heart.
