The night walker looked like a red leaf. Qin Xiao was surprised and unsure.
If it was really Hongye, why didn't he come to meet me, but instead left immediately after seeing him?
He was confused and didn't know why red leaves appeared in Kyoto.
There was no one on the street, but Qin Xiao did not hesitate, climbed onto the window sill, spread his arms, and jumped from the window.
The room he lived in was on the second floor of the inn. It wasn't actually very high. But when he stepped down from the window sill, he found that his body was so light that there was no sound when he landed on the ground.
He was happy, knowing that after entering the Zhongtian realm, he had indeed entered a new level in martial arts cultivation.
He was afraid that Hongye would go far away, so he did not hesitate and quickly walked towards the alley. When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he found that it was pitch dark inside. However, he did not delay. He entered the alley and just wanted to catch up with Hongye. When he got out of the alley, he reached the end of the alley.
On another street, I looked left and right and found a figure from the east that happened to flash onto another street.
Qin Xiao's steps were light and he hurriedly chased after him. When he got to the street, he lost sight of the figure, but saw a carriage coming towards him.
He hurriedly ducked to the wall and leaned against the wall. He saw the carriage passing by quickly. The driver was wearing a bamboo hat and did not notice Qin Xiao. The window was covered with a curtain and he could not see clearly what was inside.
Waiting for the carriage to pass, Qin Xiao then looked towards the street where the figure disappeared. The street was empty, and there was no trace of him for a long time.
Qin Xiao frowned and turned around to look at the carriage that had just passed by.
The figure disappeared on this street, but a carriage appeared. It was really strange that this carriage appeared on the street in the middle of the night. Could it be that the figure was inside the carriage?
He was not sure, but with the clues about Hongye, he was not willing to give up. He only thought about it and saw the carriage getting further and further away. He no longer hesitated and quickly followed it.
He didn't get too close, just followed from a distance.
The carriage passed through several streets and arrived at the archway of Sipingfang.
All the buildings in Kyoto are sealed off at night, separated by high walls and fences, leaving only entrances and exits with guard handles. You can come and go freely during the day. If there are no roads at night, you can't get in, and you can't get out if you want to.
The carriage stopped at the exit. Guards checked the road and let it go quickly.
Qin Xiao also had the road note issued by the Ministry of Punishment last time. He could have used the road note to go out, but if he went there by himself, it would be possible for people in the carriage to find someone following him. More importantly, he didn't want anyone to know that he left in the middle of the night.
Sipingfang.
Like a ghost, he quickly arrived at the wall of Sipingfang. The wall was not too high. His steps were light and there was almost no sound when he walked. He was afraid that the carriage would go too far. He rushed quickly. When he reached the foot of the wall, he exerted force on his toes and suddenly
He jumped up, seeing that there was still some distance from the top of the wall, he stretched out his arms and caught the top of the wall. He exerted force on his wrists and climbed up the top of the wall. From a high position, he saw the carriage moving forward along the bluestone road, and then it fell down from the top of the wall, still following behind.
It was March and the weather was slightly cold.
The city of Kyoto is tight inside and loose outside. It is tight inside and loose outside. From time to time, soldiers from the Military Guard Battalion patrol the streets, but they are all in a hurry and are routine.
Qin Xiao followed the carriage in front of him and walked eastward, crossing the ditch, and soon saw the carriage entering another folk village. Qin Xiao
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I didn't know what kind of private village it was, so I followed the same pattern, climbed in through the wall, and continued to follow the carriage. I wanted to know where the carriage that appeared in the middle of the night was going.
Qin Xiao couldn't be sure whether Hongye was in the carriage, but he knew very well that when he arrived at the destination, the people in the carriage would naturally get out of the carriage. At that time, he would be able to tell whether Hongye was in the carriage.
It's the red leaves, so you can take this opportunity to see where the red leaves end up.
Although the possibility of the person in the car being Hongye is not very high, Qin Xiao is not willing to miss it as long as there is a chance.
After walking for a long time and crossing two streets, the front suddenly became empty. Qin Xiao was wondering where the carriage was going. In front of the wide bluestone road, a huge building suddenly appeared. Under the moonlight
, vaguely saw the high vermilion wall, the overhanging eaves of the building, and the closed door. Looking at it in that style, it looked like a Taoist temple.
Qin Xiao's heart trembled.
He remembered that Gu Baiyi had said before that next to Sipingfang was Tongyifang, and the Temple of Immortality was in Tongyifang.
Could it be that the Taoist temple in front of me is the Temple of Immortality, and the one I just entered was Tongyifang?
He thought the carriage would stop in front of the Taoist temple, but unexpectedly it turned to the left. Qin Xiao approached not far from the main entrance of the Taoist temple. There were actually lanterns hanging under the eaves of the Taoist temple. Although the lights were not bright, they were enough to make people laugh.
Qin Xiao saw clearly the handwriting on the door plaque, and the three words "View of Immortality" were written on it with flying dragons and phoenixes.
It seems that I and this Immortal Temple are really enemies. I followed a carriage in the middle of the night and actually followed it to the Immortal Temple.
He did not delay and continued to follow the carriage, turning to the left, only to find that the carriage was going along the side wall of the Taoist temple. After walking for a while, it suddenly stopped, but it stopped at a small door on the side of the Taoist temple.
Soon, he saw a person getting out of the carriage. His head was covered with gauze, and he was wrapped in a black cloak. Even so, Qin Xiao could tell at a glance that the person getting off the carriage was clearly a woman.
Qin Xiao was a little disappointed.
The woman's body shape was obviously different from Hongye's.
Moreover, when I discovered Hongye, Hongye was wearing night clothes, but this woman's clothes were completely different.
Knowing that there were no red leaves in the car, Qin Xiao was uninterested and was about to leave when he saw the woman say something to the coachman. The coachman continued to drive forward, but the woman walked to the small door and knocked lightly.
Soon the small door opened and the woman stepped in.
Qin Xiao was suddenly a little suspicious.
There is something wrong with a woman going out in the middle of the night, and if she comes to a Taoist temple, it is even more fishy.
He also thought that the leader of the Immortality Temple, Hong Ling Zhenren, was not a good person and had done evil things in Kyoto. After a moment of thought, he came to the side wall and climbed up the wall.
With his fourth-grade Zhongtian realm cultivation, it is really easy to scale the high wall of the Taoist temple.
From a high position, I saw a little Taoist priest leading the woman in a big cloak to the back.
The courtyard is exquisite and beautiful, with rockery gardens, pavilions and flowing water. If you only look at the scenery here, it is difficult to believe that this is a Taoist temple.
Qin Xiao sneered in his heart, but he was very curious about why this woman came to this Taoist temple in the middle of the night. After making sure that there was no one else in the courtyard, he jumped off the wall and followed the two people like a ghost for a while.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Seeing an antique house appearing in front of him, the little Taoist priest came to the door and said respectfully: "Master, we are here." Without further ado, he turned around and left, but the woman stepped forward and stood outside the door.
Quickly, the door of the house opened, and Qin Xiao saw Master Hongling in casual clothes appearing inside the door, motioning for the woman to enter the house, and then closed the door.
Qin Xiao was a little stunned. It was really strange that this woman entered the house of an old Taoist priest in the middle of the night.
He walked slowly over and saw a big locust tree next to the house. He climbed up the tree like a spiritual ape and stretched out the branches until he was very close to the corner of the house. Qin Xiao turned his eyes and followed the branches.
He moved slowly over and then jumped lightly onto the roof. Then he lowered his body and reached the middle of the roof. He gently opened a tile to reveal a hole. He leaned over and used his eyes to get close to the hole and looked down.
I saw that the room was antique and the tables and chairs were very elegantly furnished.
The woman had already taken off her cloak, but the gauze still covered her head. She had a plump figure, and looking at her body and clothes, she looked like a noble lady.
"Mrs. Huang, please sit down." The old Taoist priest poured a cup of tea for the woman, and said in a gentle voice: "Your matter cannot be urgent. Earlier, you went to the temple to seek medical treatment. The poor Taoist could see the crux of the problem at a glance, but there were so many people.
Yan Zai, I can’t say much more to you, so I’m asking you to come over at night.”
Mrs. Huang said uneasily: "Master, I come here tonight, there is really nothing I can do."
"If there was a way, Madam wouldn't have come." Master Hongling sat down with a smile, motioned for Madam Huang to sit down as well, and then said: "Before, you told Pindao that after six years of living here, you have used a lot of medicine, but you still can't.
Unable to conceive a child, Pindao remembers correctly, right?"
Mrs. Huang said: "Yes. Really, my master has no heir, and he is worried about it day and night. Even the old lady is becoming more and more indifferent to me. At the end of last year, the old lady made the decision and gave me a concubine. Recently,
"I noticed that the concubine is pregnant." He sighed, his tone full of anxiety: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an offspring. If I still can't get pregnant, the days to come will be even more difficult. A mother is like a child.
Gui, if that concubine gives birth to a boy, she will definitely be favored by the old lady and the master. I... I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the house any longer. The real person has the ability to bring the dead back to life, and has wonderful hands and a benevolent heart, so I beg the real person.
Mercy, please help me." He took a stack of silver notes and put them on the table: "This is five hundred taels of silver, please accept it."
Master Hong Ling looked at Mrs. Huang's plump body with his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Madam is here tonight. Does your house know about it?"
"I don't know." Mrs. Huang said: "The master did not return home. The old lady went to bed early. I took advantage of her to go to bed before going out. I was very careful along the way so that no one saw me."
"That's good, that's good." Master Hongling said with a smile: "Master Huang is the young minister of Taipu Temple, and he is respected by everyone. It would be a pity if he has no descendants. My wife wants to ask for a son, but I can understand it, but...
.....!" After a pause, Mrs. Huang hurriedly said: "Just what? Please clarify."
"It's just that Madam is destined to have such a disaster." Master Hongling sighed: "Has Madam ever done anything that harmed your moral character?"
Mrs. Huang was startled, lowered her head, and thought deeply, Master Hongling said softly: "Pindao Zhuanxiao Yin and Yang, when you came to the Taoist temple before, I knew that you must have made a big mistake and damaged your virtue. This time
That's why you have been childless. But it's not difficult to break this catastrophe...!" He raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "I'm afraid my wife won't cooperate."
