Krisam said: "Because she uses it skillfully and leaves no traces of her poison, making it difficult for you to detect her. As long as she wants to harm anyone, she will succeed!"
Although the ancient head felt that it was very consistent with what he had just judged, but after seeing Krisam's expression and tone, he felt a little suspicious, and said with a sigh: "But according to the results of our inquiries, she is only an expert in bow skills.
Absolutely, her bullets are flawless, as good as your gang leader’s daughter, and no one has ever said that she is good at using strange poisons!”
Krisam groaned uneasily, and then said: "Those people may not know her well, but if you encounter her in the future, just be more careful!"
Shangguan Xiaowan said: "We just need to pay attention to her from now on!"
The old man knew that he had already asked what he should ask, so he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Chief Deacon, for your guidance. Goodbye. However, in the future we will find the Shuangcha Society and the Tianshan Sect. If the other party does not admit it, we will have to say that it was your Excellency who provided it."
News!"
Krisam's expression suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth and waved, as if he wanted to say something. However, the old man glanced at him again, and then followed Shangguan Xiaowan and others into the forest.
Upon entering the dense forest, Zhao Ling'er first asked with concern: "Gutou, it sounds like you don't trust his words?"
The old man said hurriedly: "Old slave is just lying..."
Aunt Shan immediately snorted and said, "No need to ask, it's definitely a lie. Just look at how dumbfounded he was just now, you'll know..."
"That's not necessarily true. If we really say this to the Tianshan Sect, wouldn't we make enemies for their Tiangong Clan." The old head said seriously: "We must also guard against them playing tricks, killing people with borrowed knives, and deliberately throwing us into the pit of fire.
Litui!”
Aunt Shan snorted and said, "If you push us into the fire pit, he has to be able to push us!"
"What do you say?" the old man said angrily: "He said that Master Huoyang is the master of the three temples of Pili Temple, and we have to rush there now!"
Shangguan Xiaowan, who was thinking deeply as he moved forward, suddenly asked: "Do you think we should go to visit openly, or should we go to spy first tonight?"
Liu Qianwen said: "I think that in order to save time, we are no longer allowed to visit at night, and then visit in public the next day. This will inevitably delay another day!"
"Let's go to Perak Temple now!" After saying this, Shangguan Xiaowan took the lead and started flying towards the south. Liu Qianwen, Zhao Ling'er and Xue Bing'er also started to follow behind and to the left and right.
Everyone sped forward and within a short time they were out of the dense forest!
Looking up, there is indeed an arched horizontal ridge seven or eight miles due south. Among the green trees, there is a faint ridge of the temple escaping. The scope of Perak Temple seems to be quite vast.
In the mountainous area, we can see seven or eight miles, but the actual distance traveled is often more than ten miles. When everyone arrived at the foot of Gongling, it was already past noon.
Shangguan Xiaowan stopped by a clear mountain stream at the foot of the mountain and said, "Everyone must be hungry. Let's rest here for a while, boil some stream water, eat some dry food and then go up."
After such discussion, Gutou took off the small iron pot he was holding on his waist and hurried to the stream to fetch water. Zhao Ling'er and Xue Bing'er helped Aunt Shan pick up dead branches and fallen leaves nearby.
Everyone ate some dry food in a hurry, drank some boiling water, and sat cross-legged under a tree or behind a stone to regulate their breath.
Gutou knew that he was going to Pili Temple this time. Due to the action between Shangguan Xiaowan and Huoyang Zhenren, it was impossible to have a harmonious scene, so he also checked some marble-shaped pebbles by the stream and put them on his body for later use.
The four daughters and the single aunt protect the Dharma.
After a while, Shangguan Xiaowan had opened her eyes. With shining bright eyes, she first took a look at the Perak Temple near the top of the ridge. She found that the Perak Temple was built along the ridge, forming a layer-by-layer staircase hall with a gate in the middle.
, it seems there are five entries in total.
On the left and right sides of the central hall, there are still three trapezoidal halls, all of which are magnificent and decorated with glazed tiles and red bricks.
After Shangguan Xiaowan looked at it, she knew that there were many people in Pili Temple and it was not suitable to go deep. However, judging from the martial arts of Huoyang Zhenren and Granny Xuan, the martial arts of the Grand Temple Master and the Erer Temple Master may not be so amazing.
When I thought of the Grand Master and the Second Master, I turned back to look at the Ancient Head. When I turned around and took a closer look, I saw that the Ancient Head had closed its eyes, taking the opportunity to wither and gain strength.
After a while, everyone had finished dying, and the old man also opened his eyes.
Shangguan Xiaowan glanced at everyone and said solemnly: "Piliguan has a large number of people. Unless it is absolutely necessary, avoid conflict with them!"
But Aunt Shan shook her head and said: "With the festival last night, it may be difficult to avoid conflicts..."
"Since a conflict has occurred, my subordinates must show no mercy..." Zhao Ling'er said angrily.
"Once we find that the situation is not good, it is best to capture their master first..." the ancient leader said.
Zhao Ling'er asked: "What are the names of their Grand Master and Second Master?"
The old man said: "I'll see it when I go there later. If you feel the need to know, you can ask."
Aunt Shan was stunned when she heard this. Just as she was about to glare and say something, Shangguan Xiaowan had already stood up and jumped up, saying in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around, launched his Qinggong, and headed up Gongling Ridge. Liu Qianwen and others jumped up and flew after them.
Halfway across the ridge, there were small terraced vegetable gardens, and more than thirty Taoist priests wearing old Taoist robes of golden sauce were found working in the fields.
When Shangguan Xiaowan and others saw the Taoist, they all slowed down their movements and changed to climbing quickly.
Just when everyone changed to fast walking, some of the thirty or so Taoists already exclaimed, stopped working one after another, and looked at Shangguan Xiaowan and others in surprise.
Among the Taoists on both sides, a Taoist who looked like a Han man put down the tools in his hands, looked at Shangguan Xiaowan and others in surprise, and hurried over to greet them.
Shangguan Xiaowan looked at the Taoist. He was about forty years old, with big eyes and thick eyebrows. He had a purple bamboo in the bun on his head. There seemed to be a weapon wrapped around the waist of the Taoist robe.
The Taoist came to him, stepped forward, bowed his head, and said loudly: "Why do you all, donors, come to see me..."
Shangguan Xiaowan stopped in a hurry and returned the courtesy: "We have made a special trip to visit the masters of the three Guiguan temples, Huoyang Zhenren and Granny Xuan."
At this time, more than thirty Taoists of various shapes also gathered around. When they heard that they were looking for the three temple masters, they all looked confused.
Shangguan Xiaowanren saw this and couldn't figure out why the other Taoist had such an expression. Maybe he didn't understand a word of Chinese.
The Taoist who spoke just now said: "I am a poor Taoist, I would like to ask you all the donors, who are my old acquaintances?"
Shangguan Xiaowan could only say: "We were introduced by others and came to inquire about an important matter from the master of Guiguan Three Temples..."
Jing Taoist frowned and asked: "I don't know what the important matter is. Can you tell me? I might as well go and report it on my behalf..."
"Do you know what is important?" Aunt Shan asked in a deep voice: "If you can say it casually in public, then what is it called important?"
Taoist Jing glanced at Aunt Shan displeasedly, then continued to look at Shangguan Xiaowan, and asked: "I wonder who introduced you all?"
Shangguan Xiaowan pondered for a moment, expecting to talk about the old monster Xuan Ling, but Aunt Shan said first: "The old leader of the Tiangong Gang is Yili Weixiong!"
Taoist Jing's expression changed when he heard this, and he said hesitantly, then nodded and said: "Okay, all donors, please come with me!"
After saying this, he turned around and waved to the thirty or so purple-clothed Taoists, said a few words in dialect, and then walked up. Shangguan Xiaowan didn't want to say that he was a hero, but he was afraid that he would be a helper to Tian Gong.
Defeat powerful enemies.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Shan told Yiliweixiong and actually asked Jing and others to take them there.
With this experience, it also confirmed the reputation of Yili Weixiong in the Tianshan Mountains. No wonder when she left the Tiangong Gang a few days ago, Elisaxi boasted that even though the disciples of the Tianshan Sect are all over the Central Plains, they have nothing to do with the Tiangong Gang.
But also very scrupulous.
Now that I have said that the intermediary is Yili Weixiong, I will have to change my story when I see Master Huoyang, Granny Xuan, the Grand Monastery Master, and the Second Monastery Master later.
Everyone did not communicate and moved forward in silence. The Perak Temple was getting closer and closer. After climbing up a slope, in front of us was the towering gate with red walls and glazed tiles.
Unexpectedly, after climbing the slope, there is actually a flat empty space, and at the end of the empty space, there is an artificially cut cliff. Not far from the cliff is the Grand Gate of Perak Temple.
The empty field is dozens of feet in diameter, very flat and smooth as a mirror, with rows of natural trees on all sides, and the cliff is nearly ten feet high.
As soon as they walked into the empty space, Jing Taoist turned around and said, "Donors, please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform the Grand Guanzhu!"
Shangguan Xiaowan had no choice but to raise her hands and say "please."
Taoist Jing bowed slightly, turned around and strode away, heading straight to the cliff nearly ten feet high.
Shangguan Xiaowan and others saw that the cliff was tens of feet wide, with many convex rocks at both ends. The situation was particularly dangerous, so they guessed that Jing and others were going to use Qinggong to go up.
Zhao Ling'er first whispered: "It seems that all the Taoists in Pili Temple have good Qinggong. They can at least climb up the cliff in one go!"
But Aunt Shan snorted and said: "Miss Ling'er, wait until that bastard climbs up. Looking at his appearance and appearance, my old lady doesn't believe he can climb up the cliff."
The old man said in a deep voice: "Do you know that people cannot be judged by their appearance?"
Aunt Shan's eyes widened when she heard this. Just as she was about to say something, the Jing group had passed through a row of big trees and reached the bottom of the cliff, and was looking up.
I saw Jing, a man, looking up slightly, rising up, crossing the top of the lush tree tops, and rising directly towards the cliff.
Aunt Shan was dumbfounded and was obviously surprised, because Jing and the others actually jumped up to the top of the cliff.
After Shangguan Xiaowan looked at it, she smiled.
Liu Qianwen waited until Jing and his friends were on the cliff and rushed towards the gate, and said, "As expected, Aunt Shan was right. The place where Jing and his friends stepped on was blocked by the top of a lush tree!"
Shangguan Xiaowan said sternly: "It is very valuable to be able to get up at once without leaving any trace!"
After saying this, Youmu looked at Xue Bing'er and said, "There are indeed many Taoists in this Perak Temple!"
Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen turned their attention and looked around, discovering that on the ridge slopes a hundred feet away from the empty field, in the terraced fields, there were numerous figures, no less than two hundred people.
After looking at it, the old man suggested: "When I ask Master Huoyang about things in the mountain later, if the other party insists not to tell us, we will find another strategy. If there is a conflict, we must strike first..."
Aunt Shan said: "That is, once Master Huoyang leaves the scene, their people will be everywhere, and it will be difficult to rush to the bottom of the peak."
Shangguan Xiaowan said worriedly: "You only thought about a conflict, but you didn't expect that Master Huoyang would arrange to attack us as soon as he received the report from Taoist Master Jing..."
After saying this, everyone looked around cautiously, silently observing the movement.
With this alert, everyone took a closer look at the mountain and situation. The result of the secret discussion was that in the event of a conflict and the hostages could not be captured, everyone decided to rush forward to the view instead of going down the ridge.
At this moment, four figures suddenly appeared on the cliff, including Jing, who had just gone in to report.
The remaining three Taoists are about fifty years old, their beards and hair are all gray, and they wear red copper Taoist crowns with willow hooks on their heads. They all have long swords on their backs, but the Taoist robes of the three are divided into three colors.
The old Taoist in the center is wearing a dark blue robe, the old Taoist on the right is wearing a black robe, and the old Taoist on the left is wearing a golden robe of the same color as Taoist Jing.
Among the three old Taoists, the old Taoist wearing dark blue robes and purple robes is probably from the Central Plains, and the other Taoist with black robes may be a native of Tianshan.
As soon as the four of them reached the edge of the cliff, their bodies flashed and they hurried down, striding side by side towards this side.
Zhao Ling'er looked at it and said in confusion: "Why didn't Master Huoyang come?"
Shangguan Xiaowan speculated: "Maybe he doesn't want to meet us."
"Could this be their Grand Temple Master and Second Temple Master?" Xue Bing'er said.
Liu Qianwen said hesitantly: "It doesn't look like it..."
Before they finished speaking, the other four people were already within hearing distance, so they stopped talking.
The three old Taoists all had their eyebrows slightly furrowed and their mouths were tightly closed. They all had gloomy expressions, but their eyes were looking at Shangguan Xiaowan and others, looking at them non-stop.
Jing, who went to report, lost the calm look on his face, and there was surprise and hostility in his eyes.
Three old Taoists stood still three feet away, and Jing Taoist said in a deep voice: "The deacon of our three temples has arrived. If you have anything important to ask, you can come out now."
Shangguan Xiaowan said: "Only Master Huoyang and Granny Xuan know this matter. If I ask you, you don't know..."
The old Taoist wearing a dark blue Taoist robe said in a deep voice: "If it is indeed an important matter, even if I don't know about it, I will wait until the three temple masters come back to report it before replying to the donors."
"What?" Shangguan Xiaowan frowned and asked, "You three temple masters haven't looked back yet?"
"Yes, it will be tomorrow afternoon at the earliest..."
Shangguan Xiaowan said in a deep voice: "Since the master of the temple is not here, let's come back tomorrow afternoon."
After saying this, he turned around and waved to Liu Qianwen and others to leave.
However, the old Taoist wearing a purple robe said in a deep voice: "Donors, please wait!"
Shangguan Xiaowan and others stopped when they heard the sound and turned around slowly.
The purple-robed old Taoist said in a deep voice: "Since you, the builders, do not want to explain the origin, can you inform us of your sect's lineage and surname?"
Shangguan Xiaowan smiled calmly and said: "Don't say that we, the masters, can only tell the three masters of Guiguan. In fact, even if we tell you, you won't know..."
The old Taoist in dark blue robes raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "If you want to meet the three masters of our temple, you must leave your inheritance history!"
"It's not that I really don't say anything. If I say it, you won't be satisfied, so it's better not to say it."
The old Taoist in Jiangzi Taoist robes said hurriedly: "As long as you are sincere, we will definitely believe you."
"The six of us have no sect. Some of our masters have passed away long ago, and some are inconvenient to tell each other because it is taboo for disciples to keep tabs on masters..."
But before he finished speaking, the black-robed old Taoist who looked like a native suddenly stared angrily and roared angrily.
Aunt Shan pointed with the iron dove stick in her hand and said angrily: "Do you understand Chinese? What are you saying and why are you yelling?"
After finishing speaking, the old Taoist in blue robe explained: "Although he doesn't understand Chinese, he can tell that the six of you have bad intentions when visiting."
"That's because the master of your three temples is not here!" Shangguan Xiaowan said: "If he were in the temple, the situation would naturally be much more harmonious."
The old Taoist in Jiangzi Taoist robes said seriously: "What important thing does the donor have to ask the master of the third temple of our temple? If it is really important, our temple will immediately send a large number of disciples to look for it separately!"
Aunt Shan was about to say something else, but Shangguan Xiaowan, who was moved in her heart, hurriedly waved a gesture to stop her and said seriously: "Okay, we can tell you, but you must promise that when we come back tomorrow afternoon, no matter how expensive it is,
Whether the master of Guan San Guan comes back or not, we have to give us a correct answer."
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue-robed old Taoist said without hesitation: "Okay, we will definitely give you a correct answer!"
Shangguan Xiaowan nodded in approval and said seriously: "We sisters came to Tianshan to visit friends and find someone..."
"I wonder who the six donors' friends are, and who are they looking for?"
Shangguan Xiaowan pondered for a moment before saying: "My friend is Liji Dani, and the people I'm looking for are the two old heroes, Thin Liuxian and Fat Maitreya!"
While talking, Shangguan Xiaowan noticed that the expressions of the blue-robed old Taoist and the purple-robed old Taoist all changed slightly. They were obviously shocked in their hearts, but pretended to be calm on the outside.
"I wonder if you have found the girl Li Ji Dani?" the blue-robed old Taoist asked with concern.
Shangguan Xiaowan shook her head and said: "Not yet, because when we met in the Central Plains, I forgot the address she told me. I wonder if the three Taoist priests know it?"
Unexpectedly, the two old Taoist priests shook their heads, and the blue-robed old Taoist replied: "We only know that there is such a girl in Tianshan. We don't know where she lives, nor her sect or origin!"
After saying this, he paused, then frowned and said hesitantly: "It turns out that the Thin Willow Immortal you are looking for once visited this temple..."
Shangguan Xiaowan and others' eyes lit up and their spirits lifted. Shangguan Xiaowan asked with concern: "Are they two already in the audience now?"
The blue-robed old Taoist said without hesitation: "He transferred back to Honey Terrace last summer..."
Shangguan Xiaowan said hurriedly: "But when we went to Honey Terrace, his family said that he came to Tianshan."
The old Taoist in blue robe let out a surprised sound, turned to look at the old Taoist in purple robe, then looked at Shangguan Xiaowan, and asked in confusion: "I wonder what the six donors want from him?"
Shangguan Xiaowan deliberately pondered for a moment before saying: "The two of them are old friends of our sect. We are looking for them to find out an anecdote about our sect. That is to say, the three Taoist priests found the thin Liuxian and the fat Maitreya.
That’s how we found out the masters and details of the six of us!”
The old Taoist in Jiangzi Taoist robe suddenly asked: "So, Thin Willow Immortal and Fat Maitreya are both people related to your sect?"
Shangguan Xiaowan said without hesitation: "You can say that."
"Then you might as well go to the Shuangcha Club to find out..."
But before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped talking. He thought he noticed that the blue-robed old Taoist frowned and looked unhappy, and he also felt that he had made a mistake.
"But when we went there, they said that Thin Willow Immortal had come to visit Master Huoyang, the master of Guiguan's three temples, so we came in a hurry..." Shangguan Xiaowan said.
The two old Taoists exclaimed in surprise and looked at each other.
The old aboriginal Taoist wearing a black Taoist robe seemed to really not understand Chinese. He kept looking blankly at the other two Taoists, and then at Shangguan Xiaowan and others, which was extremely funny.
The blue-robed Taoist and the purple-robed Taoist exchanged two opinions in a low voice, and said kindly: "According to the female donor's statement, it is possible that this temple is related to your sect. I wonder if any of the donors have ever seen my third temple.
Temple Master and Granny Xuan?"
Shangguan Xiaowan shook her head without hesitation: "I've never seen it before!"
The blue-robed old Taoist said knowingly: "So, the six benefactors met with the three masters of our temple just to find out about Thin Willow Fairy?"
"There is one more thing I would like to ask the three temple masters for help..."
The two old Taoists looked surprised and asked with concern: "I wonder what is going on?"
"One of our girlfriends was separated in the heavy snowstorm a few days ago and has never been seen again. I would also like to ask the three masters of Guan Guan to help us find her whereabouts!"
After saying this, the blue-robed Taoist nodded and said: "Okay, after the three temple masters of our temple return, I will convey the information to the donors one by one. If the matter is not urgent, please ask the six donors to come back tomorrow afternoon.
alright!"
Shangguan Xiaowan said no more and said happily: "Okay, we will definitely come tomorrow afternoon!"
After saying that, he handed over his hands and said "Excuse me" to Liu Qianwen and others, then turned around and walked down the ridge.
The three old Taoists said "No".
However, the Jing Taoist group hurriedly followed Shangguan Xiaowan and others. Shangguan Xiaowan and the others didn't mind, because with Jing Taoist seeing them off, they might be able to walk down the ridge more smoothly.
Sure enough, nearly two hundred Taoists scattered among the terraced fields from the cliff to the halfway point, all bent down to continue their work when they saw Jing being sent down.
Under such circumstances, it was naturally inconvenient for Shangguan Xiaowan and others to talk, but since Jing and others were following them seven to eight feet away, Shangguan Xiaowan and others did not need to say anything, but gradually accelerated their pace.
After passing half the ridge, Shangguan Xiaowan and others spread out their body skills and flew directly towards the bottom of the ridge.
Arriving at the foot of the ridge, Shangguan Xiaowan still kept moving and continued to fly northwest. She didn't stop until she crossed a hill and entered a dense forest.
At this time, everyone understood the reason why Shangguan Xiaowan did not stay at the foot of the ridge. Once they stopped, they all looked inside the forest.
Aunt Shan looked at it and said to herself: "How could they put the eavesdropping stakes so far away?"
But the old slave looked at Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen and said: "As far as I know, the Taoist priests in Perak Temple are not so easy to talk to."
Shangguan Xiaowan asked in surprise: "You mean..."
The old man said solemnly: "The old slave is saying that Master Huoyang and Granny Xuan are in the temple right now..."
"That is, so I deliberately told the reason why we were looking for him, and said that I had never seen the real Huoyang!"
Zhao Ling'er hurriedly praised: "Sister Xiaowan, you gave a good reply at that time. Then when we go there tomorrow afternoon, Master Huoyang may come out to meet you!"
"We can't wait until tomorrow afternoon. We will have to go to Perak Temple again in a little while..."
Xue Bing'er asked in confusion: "Why? Sister Xiaowan!"
"Now, there is no doubt that Master Huoyang and Granny Xuan are in the Perak Temple. Just now they sent three old Taoists dressed in different clothes to meet us, and they were completely ordered to listen to our tone."
The old man said seriously: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean. If it weren't for the warning from Master Huoyang and Granny Xuan, telling them about fighting with the girl, they wouldn't be so polite."
Liu Qianwen continued: "This time I went to the Tiangong Gang to be more fruitful than before. I learned from their mouths that the Thin Willow Immortal and the Shuangcha Society have a close relationship? I also stayed with them in Perak Watch!"
Shangguan Xiaowan said: "I originally wanted to bring up the fight with Master Huoyang last night. I heard the boy in leather clothes said what happened in the cave. It was because they said that Thin Liuxian had been to Pili Temple, so I adapted to the situation and said
Asking Master Huoyang to help us find Sister Meng'er, this is also in line with the statement that we don't know Master Huoyang."
Xue Bing'er asked in confusion: "Why do we have to go tonight?"
Shangguan Xiaowan said: "I think there will be gains if I go tonight, but I can't go too late..."
The old man suddenly asked: "Miss Xiaowan, do you want to confirm what they found in the cave?"
"Yes, if it is indeed Meng'er found in that cave, I think they have sent people to the cave by now..."
Aunt Shan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said anxiously: "Then why don't we lurk nearby now, or go to the foot of the mountain to ambush and follow?"
"No, doing this not only consumes a lot of our energy and physical strength, but also probably results in nothing, because we don't know where the cave is, and we don't know what they saw in the cave. Besides, we are only six years old.
Individuals can't predict where the people they send will go from, maybe they won't send anyone there at all..."
The old man praised: "Miss Xiaowan is absolutely right. Rather than spreading our manpower and not getting any results, we might as well sneak into Pili Temple to eavesdrop on the most accurate and final news."
Zhao Ling'er said worriedly: "So many of us are going..."
"I am the only one going in. You all should wait in a suitable place outside. If there is any movement, go to support."
Liu Qianwen asked with concern: "When are you going to go?"
"I thought we couldn't go too late. It would be best to turn on the lights just after dark!"
The old man praised: "Yes, this is dinner time, and it is also the time when they are most negligent."
Zhao Ling'er suddenly said: "What if Thin Willow Immortal happens to be in Perak Temple?"
"If the Thin Willow Immortal is indeed in the Shuangcha Society, Master Huoyang will definitely send someone to invite him. However, I think the Thin Willow Immortal has not come to Tianshan at all. We may have been deceived!"
The old man nodded slowly and said with a sigh: "Old slave thinks so too, because the Thin Willow Immortal has really come to Tianshan and defected to the Shuangcha Society. According to the blue-robed Taoist, it is impossible for him not to go to Pili.
Observe, however, we can clearly hear that the two old Taoists have not heard about the Thin Willow Immortal coming to Tianshan until now."
Everyone was silent for a while. They all felt that Gutou's words made sense, and they all guessed that the Thin Willow Fairy had not come to Tianshan at all.
Xue Bing'er said anxiously: "If the Thin Willow Fairy didn't come to Tianshan at all, where did they take my grandfather hostage?"
Shangguan Xiaowan said with relief: "I think Thin Liuxian and Fat Maitreya will never dare to do anything to our master. Now we only have to find Brother Haotian first, and then decide whether to return to the Central Plains or continue searching in the Tianshan Mountains!"
Xue Bing'er cried unconsciously and said, "But, where is brother Haotian now?"
After saying this, everyone's heart sank and their expressions darkened.
After a long time, Shangguan Xiaowan said with relief: "We don't need to discuss these things anymore. Let's sit down and take a rest first. The sun is about to set. We will go as soon as it gets dark!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Aunt Shan again and said, "Aunt Shan, please go ahead and boil some water."
Aunt Shan knew that Shangguan Xiaowan wanted to leave Gutou to discuss the matter, so she agreed, took the small iron pot on Gutou's waist, and walked towards the stream due to the north.
So, the five people discussed some matters that should be paid attention to, and Aunt Shan had already brought boiling water.
At this time, the red sun had set and darkness had fallen in the woods. Everyone drank boiled water, ate some food, and leaned under the trees to regulate their breathing and refresh themselves.
Half an hour later, everyone was full of energy and quietly prepared to fly towards the mountain due south according to the plan just now. This time everyone headed towards the front of the ridge and climbed up from the tip of the west end of the ridge.
This forest is quite vast, and it is connected to the tip of the Gongling Ridge. As soon as Shangguan Xiaowan and others arrived at the foot of the ridge, they started to move forward in a file, and they were more vigilant in case they encountered Taoists patrolling the Perak Temple.
The tip of Gongling Ridge becomes more steep and rugged as it goes up, and is covered with rocks and vines. Fortunately, everyone has a good foundation of skills, otherwise, it would be difficult to advance from the tip.
Aunt Shan whispered: "The more dangerous the mountain is, the more neglectful the warning..."
Old Man Zhan whispered: "That's because it's inconvenient for us to move forward, and it's also difficult for them to patrol!"
Continuing with a leap and gallop, they reached the back of the ridge. A hundred feet away in front of them, under the ridge, it was dark, with only a few sparse lights shining through. The lights had obviously been blocked by the lush trees.
Shangguan Xiaowan knew that Pili Temple was there. Since the ridge was really rugged, everyone had to go down diagonally.
Gradually, the voices of people coming from the temple could be heard again, and the majestic ridge of the temple was also seen in the gap between the trees, extending layer by layer towards the middle of the ridge.
Shangguan Xiaowan and others looked at the situation in the temple as they moved forward, and found that the lights were the brightest in a two-story palace in the middle and at the back. The figures in the temple were swaying, and they seemed to be very busy, running towards several rows of long rooms on the left and right.
.
Aunt Shan's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she whispered: "They are having dinner, now is the time to enter."
The old man said: "I think Miss Xiaowan can go to the window of the pavilion at the back first and take a look. The lights in that place must be unusual."
Shangguan Xiaowan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I think!"
But Liu Qianwen said worriedly: "If it's unusual, the guards will be heavy and it will be difficult to sneak in, especially if the lights are bright..."
"It's not dark yet, and the other party is having dinner. Although there are many guards and the lights are like daylight, I think it's not too difficult to enter." Shangguan Xiaowan disagreed.
While they were talking, everyone had gone around to the back of the view, but they were still far away from the brightly lit two-story palace pavilion. There was also a dark apse and several rows of houses in between.
After careful inspection, everyone found that there were no warnings or patrols among the rocks and vines outside the temple, and no hidden piles were found lurking in the dark passages of the buildings inside the temple.
Shangguan Xiaowan finished reading, faced Liu Qianwen and others, and whispered: "Now I will sneak in before they set up the police sentry, and the five of you will hide in this place..."
