After handing the jade pen to the group of men in black, Zhengyao and Prince Jing quickly ran towards Wuchanyuan.

In fact, Zhengyao originally planned to use fake jade pens to deceive these people, but he resisted in the end.

Firstly, because of the problem of the jade pen itself, it is really not easy to find a jade pen in Wuchanyuan; secondly, the lives of Ning An and Zhu Luying are in the hands of this group of people.

Of course, Zhengyao would never make fun of their lives.

All the way back, neither King Jing nor Zhengyao said a word, nor did they stop for even a step. They were chasing each other as if they were participating in a long-distance race. It took half an hour to go down the mountain, but when they went up the mountain, they were chasing each other.

It didn’t even take half an hour!

Just as I walked to the door, I saw Liu Yan, Yuan Haiyun and others already waiting at the door, and everyone was sweating profusely. It seemed that they had been searching anxiously for a long time.

It was already approaching noon, and at normal times, lunch would have been served.

But today is an extraordinary period, so there is no sign of having dinner in the temple.

Seeing the return of Zhengyao and King Jing, Liu Yan, Yuan Haiyun, Feng Bao, the abbot of Hue and others stepped forward to welcome them.

"Amitabha, how wonderful! How wonderful! I wonder if the prince and the consort will gain something from their visit?"

At this juncture, only these monks seemed so calm, and they spoke in a leisurely manner, without the slightest hint of worry or concern at all.

Of course, monks are like this to begin with. They have pure six roots and have no desires or desires, so I can’t blame them.

"Yes, yes! Prince Zhengyao, what happened to the princess and the others? Are those people still unwilling to let them go?"

The only people who came back were Zhengyao and Prince Jing, so Yuan Haiyun and others couldn't help but wonder if the other party was unwilling to let them go.

If even the jade pen is given to the other party, but the other party still refuses to let me go, then what does the other party want?

This seems to be where Liu Yan, Yuan Haiyun and others are confused. They dare not think about what other demands the other party has. If the demands are higher, is it possible that they still want Jiajing to give up the throne?

"Don't say anything for now and go to the side hall quickly!"

Zhengyao was still out of breath at this moment, but he had no intention of stopping. How could he neglect to relax at the critical moment?

After saying something to Yuan Haiyun and others, he took the lead and took a big step into Wuchanyuan before waiting for anyone else to react. He walked straight to the side hall.

Prince Jing didn't even say a word. He just panted heavily and followed Zhengyao's footsteps and went straight to the side hall.

When everyone saw this, including the abbot of Hue, they couldn't help but be startled: What kind of drama are Zhengyao and King Jing playing? Why can't people understand?

I just wanted to think about it. But everyone just paused for a moment, and then followed him full of doubts, trying to figure out the reason.

Soon, Zheng Yao came to the side hall.

In the cave at the foot of the mountain before, Zhengyao had no doubts about the words of the man in black. Although the man was extremely sinful and did what Zhengyao thought was a bad thing, it was undeniable that he was just to perform the task, just as he said.

It was said that they only wanted to get the jade pen. As for killing people, they had never even thought about it.

Therefore, Zhengyao was convinced that what the man said was that Zhu Luying and others from Ning'an must still be in this side hall.

It is precisely because of this that we can explain why we did not see anyone carrying Ning An and others out but Ning An and others disappeared! The only explanation is that there is a secret room in the side hall, Ning An and others.

An and others were hidden inside!

"Secret room, secret room, there must be a secret room here, but how can we open the secret room?"

After Zhengyao walked into the side hall, he immediately started to look up and down, left and right. After looking over it, he found nothing. He couldn't help but started to mutter, feeling very troubled about this.

"The secret room? Zhengyao, what are you talking about? Do you suspect there is a secret room here? Do you think the princess and the others are locked in the secret room?"

Yuan Haiyun immediately came forward and asked in confusion.

Even though Zhengyao was talking very quietly to himself just now, Yuan Haiyun's ears could hear him clearly.

Zhengyao ignored Yuan Haiyun's question, but continued to look up and down in the side hall. He didn't believe that he could not find the place to open the secret room!

"Master Abbot, I would like to ask, is there any secret room in this side hall?"

After reading it again, Zheng Yao still found nothing, so he couldn't help but shift his target to the abbot of Hue.[ . ]

In fact, it is very simple. The abbot of Hue is the abbot of Wu Chan Monastery. His time in Wu Chan Monastery is naturally very long. I believe no one knows more about how many houses and monks there are in Wu Chan Monastery than him.

Therefore, if you want to know the situation inside Wu Chan Monastery, it is most correct to ask him. At least, in terms of house construction, as long as the abbot of Hue does not lie, there will be nothing he does not know, unless he, the abbot, does not care about these things.

.

Suddenly hearing Zheng Yao asking himself this question, the abbot of Hue was startled. After a moment of pause, he said: "This...it doesn't seem to be the case! I have been in the temple for eighteen years, and I really have never heard of it."

There will be a secret room in this side hall, I wonder where the prince-in-law learned about it?"

Unexpectedly, the abbot of Hue did not know that there would be a secret room here. This made both Zhengyao and King Jing stunned: Could they have been deceived?

Now the man in black and the abbot each hold different opinions, which one is true and which one is false, which makes Zhengyao feel depressed for a while.

"Master Abbot! You said you have been here for eighteen years. Do you dare to ask how many years have this side hall been established? Are you sure that there was no secret room here before you came here?"

After hearing what the abbot of Hue said, King Jing immediately asked the abbot of Hue.

Obviously, the implication of King Jing's words is that although the abbot of Hue does not know that there is a secret room here, it does not mean that there is no secret room here. He himself said that he has been here for eighteen years and has not found any secret rooms, but

Can he guarantee that there was a secret room here eighteen years ago? Can he guarantee that he did not know that there was a secret room here and that others did not know about it?

He didn't dare because he didn't have the confidence in his own heart.

"this……"

When asked by King Jing, the abbot of Hue didn't know how to respond. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak, so he could only hesitate.

"Well, what the emperor said is true. Is there a secret room here? We need to take a thorough look! And the other party has already accepted our jade pen, so there is no reason not to tell them. Although they are not good men and women, they can still see it.

It turns out that they are people who keep their word and won’t deceive us!”

Zhengyao nodded and said, and at the same time he did not forget to express his views on the group of men in black. Although it seemed to be a bit partial to the men in black, it was undeniable that the other party was indeed like this.

"Well, I also think that although those people are despicable, they are not so despicable that they still want to quarrel after accepting the things. People in the world of Jianghu value loyalty, and what they say should be true."

King Jing also agreed with Zhengyao's statement and coincided with Zhengyao's ideas.

"But...but everyone has seen that this side hall is just that big. If there really is a secret room, where will it be? Can the secret room hide six people? Is it behind this door? The Buddha statue will be the secret room.

? It doesn’t look like it to me!”

Yuan Haiyun was talking about something. He was comparing here and there, and while talking, he looked very excited and could not be ignored. Yuan Haiyun was actually very worried about the safety of Ning An and others, of course, especially Xiao Xi.

's safety.

"Haiyun, don't get excited! Search carefully again."

Liu Yan patted Yuan Haiyun on the shoulder and said.

There's no point in worrying now. It's better to focus on finding someone to find the secret room.

"Really, what kind of fools are these people? They have already taken the jade pen and they still want to go around in circles. Isn't it obvious that they are playing tricks on us? Humph!"

To say he was not excited would be a lie. As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, Yuan Haiyun casually smashed the merit box on the side.

"Bang!"

"Oh - I didn't expect that even your merit box would bully me! See if I don't -"

"Master Yuan, please show mercy!"

Seeing that Yuan Haiyun was about to hit the merit box with his fist, the abbot of Hue immediately stood in front of the merit box and grabbed Yuan Haiyun's hand to prevent him from hitting it.

Although Yuan Haiyun is not a martial arts master, the merit box is still a Buddhist thing after all. If it is broken, it will be bad. According to the Buddhist monks, this is disrespectful to the Buddha, and that is a sin!

After death, you might go to Abi Hell!

"Hey! Master Abbot, why are you doing this!"

Yuan Haiyun looked helpless and immediately retracted his clenched fist.

Upon seeing this, the abbot of Hue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully left the merit box.

However, at this moment, Zhengyao seemed to have suddenly discovered something. He stared at the merit box with his eyes. Suddenly a strange light flashed in his eyes. He immediately walked forward, touched the merit box, and looked at it again.

.

After a while, he stood up, patted his thigh and said, "I should have thought of it earlier!"

"What's wrong Zhengyao, what did you think of?"

Hearing what Zhengyao suddenly said, Prince Jing immediately stepped forward and asked following the voice.

"I thought there was something wrong with this merit box before, but I was interrupted by the abbot at that time, so I forgot about it for a while, but now that I think about it, my guess at the time was right!"

Zhengyao bit his lip, wiped the tip of his nose, and said confidently.

"Oh? Then Zhengyao, what is your guess?"

King Jing immediately asked.

At the same time, other people couldn't help but come forward one after another and looked at Zhengyao with puzzled faces.

"I suspect that this merit box is where the secret room is opened, and the so-called secret room should be underground!"

"What? The secret room is underground?"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. This... no one seemed to have thought of this!

"Well! I'm sure that this secret room is underground, and the place to open the secret room is this merit box!"

After Zhengyao finished speaking, he immediately stretched out his hands to hug the merit box, as if he wanted to move the merit box away so that he could open the so-called secret room!

Everyone looked at Zheng Yao's actions and couldn't help but breathed a deep sigh of relief again. Although they were not sure that Zheng Yao's idea was right, they had no reason to deny Zheng Yao's guess. Even the abbot of Hue,

At this moment, no one is stopping Zhengyao anymore, it seems that he also wants to see what happens!
