There was a rustling in the dark passage, and Xu Zun and Huo Anu dragged the unconscious Taoist priest deeper into the area, trying to find a place to hide.
Unexpectedly, behind the passage was a staircase going downwards, and there was no other space other than that.
What's wrong?
Xu Zun calculated silently and felt that the staircase in front of him should correspond to the one outside. The Moon Watching Tower seemed to be separated by one-third.
However, the staircase in front of us can only go down but not up. Doesn’t this mean we have to go down again?
It's so strange that it goes up and down?
"Sir, what should we do?" Huo Anu asked, "Shall we go down?"
While they were talking, the two of them looked down and saw lights on each floor below the stairs, as well as the sounds of people moving around and talking.
You're such a badass, give it a try!
Xu Zun gritted his teeth and made a downward gesture towards Huo Anu.
The two of them stuffed the unconscious Taoist priest into the shadows, and then tiptoed toward the bottom of the stairs.
After they descended one level, as Xu Zun had guessed, the fifth floor of the Moon Watching Tower went down, and each floor was separated into a separate space.
Xuan Dao also pays attention to building pagodas. Generally, only Taoist temples with relatively high standards are qualified to build pagodas, which are intended to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and frighten demons from all directions.
It is said that there are seven layers and eight corners, or nine layers and twelve corners.
However, the Moon-Wang Pagoda in Qinglan Temple is an extremely rare seven-story and ten-cornered pagoda. Moreover, there are maze-like corridors on each floor.
As a result, people entering the tower will be unable to clearly confirm the space and identify the direction.
It seems...
Xu Zun thought from this, I am afraid that this place has been designed as a secret space from the day it was built, right?
It can be seen from this that Qinglan Temple Master has a big problem!
Taoist Qinglan, what on earth are you going to do?
There is a row of rooms on the fourth floor. You can see people living in the rooms, and you can tell at a glance that they are all men!
These people were all dressed as Taoist priests. They were all young and strong, and they looked like they were no ordinary people.
Xu Zun and his wife did not dare to stop and continued down the stairs.
The second, third and fourth floors are almost the same, except that the space is larger. There is a relatively spacious hall inside. You can see people breathing and practicing Qi in the hall, and others pushing hands in pairs...
So much?
Xu Zun was secretly shocked. Could it be that Qinglan Temple was a Han Temple? How could it support so many young men?
However, looking at them practicing martial arts seriously, they don't look like they are being taken care of?
Xu Zun glanced around secretly, but still couldn't find Luo Yu.
The two were about to continue checking down, but unexpectedly someone came upstairs.
It was a little Taoist priest carrying a wooden basin and wearing a towel.
The stairs are narrow, there is no way to escape, there is nowhere to hide.
The little Taoist priest was quite polite. When he saw Xu Zun and others coming down, he stepped out of the room.
Xu Zun took a breath and could only bite the bullet and pass him by Huo Anu.
Huo Anu turned his face to the corner to prevent this person from seeing his face.
But at such a close distance, it was impossible for the little Taoist priest to not notice it, so he still looked at Huo Anu with great curiosity!
Although the lights here are dim and Huo Anu is tall, she is a woman after all and can be seen through with just one glance.
"Ouch..."
Xu Zun saw something bad, so he pretended not to stand firm and actually fell on the little Taoist priest!
"Senior brother, be careful!" the little Taoist priest hurriedly helped him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Anu quickly jumped over from behind Xu Zun.
"Have you heard? There's a fire outside," Xu Zun stood up straight and said in order to attract the little Taoist priest's attention, "You must be careful!"
"Oh, oh oh..."
The little Taoist priest had obviously discovered that he did not know Xu Zun.
However, looking at the tone of Xu Zun's words, there was no room for him to question anything.
Xu Zun imitated Xuan Dao's salute gestures, crossed his fingers, and saluted the little Taoist priest.
The little Taoist priest hurriedly bowed and returned the gift, but because he was holding a wooden basin in his hand, he could only return the gift with one hand.
And the moment the little Taoist priest bowed, Xu Zun and his wife had already descended to the first floor like the wind and left far away.
Tsk tsk...
The little Taoist smacked his lips and frowned, but still couldn't remember who Xu Zun was? In desperation, he had no choice but to shake his head and go upstairs...
The space on the first floor is obviously larger, and it is obviously a place for washing and convenience.
At this moment, two Taoist priests were washing inside. Xu Zun and Huo Anu's condition was unknown, so they had to hide behind a pile of dirty clothes.
"Oh...how long will this damn life last?" A Taoist priest who was washing up complained, "Think about how pleasant our life is in Chongtian Temple, and we can also go to the practice room, tsk tsk...I don't know. Are there any new people there?"
Um?
Hearing this person speak, Xu Zun and Huo Anu immediately understood what they were feeling. These people also came from Chongtian Temple?
Moreover, from what this person said, they did not know that Chongtian Temple had been copied.
oh……
Xu Zun suddenly thought, aren't there many missing altar leaders in Chongtian Temple? Could it be that the Taoist priests hidden here are all the previous altar leaders of Chongtian Temple?
I heard that Xu Jinhu said that those who can become the leader are Taoist priests with relatively high martial arts skills and relatively good qualifications. Could it be that... these are the people?
After the screening in Chongtian Temple, they were sent here?
call……
Xu Zun gradually realized that the secret behind this incident was beyond his imagination.
"Yeah," another Taoist priest who was washing his hair said at this time, "I miss the practice room too! I don't know why Luo Zhangyuan insists on letting us live in this damn place. There are obviously a bunch of pretty Taoist nuns around us, but none of them can Touch, it’s really…”
"What's this?" the person from before said in a low voice when he saw no one around, "Maybe you don't know yet? What we have here is a paradise on earth!"
"Oh?" The hair-washing Taoist priest was puzzled, "What do you mean? What kind of paradise on earth? Isn't it the bottom of the tower?"
"Oh, you still don't know!" said the Taoist priest, "Don't you smell the fragrance when you sleep? Before we came here, this place was their training room at Qinglan Temple!"
"Fuck you! Are you crazy?" the hair-washing Taoist priest scolded, "This is a Taoist temple, and they are originally women. If there is a practice room, it must be for us grown men. !”
"Ahem, what do you know?" said the Taoist priest, "I came here with the Headmaster, several days before you, and I saw everything!
"Where we live, there used to be girls who were as beautiful as flowers. Oh, that's called pretty. It's not just ordinary beauty. I can't even describe it!"
"Really?" The hair-washer didn't even bother to wash his hair after hearing this, and asked hurriedly, "Do Taoist nuns also raise women to practice Qigong? Nourishing yin and replenishing yin?"
"Then who knows!" the Taoist priest joked, "If you don't believe it, then open the lock and go down and see for yourself!"
"Why do I think what you said is so unreliable?" The hair-washer didn't believe it, "There is a basement under the tower. Do those beautiful girls you mentioned really live in the dark underground?
"Our Chongtian Temple even built a separate house for them!"
"You're stupid," said the washer, "didn't they just live in the ground when we came? Can't they come up again after we leave?"
"If you don't believe it, just lean on that door in the middle of the night and listen to see if you can hear the girls' voices..."
"There's something wrong with me, am I?" the hair-washer said angrily, "What if I heard about it? Not only will I not be able to eat, but I may be fined if the hospital master finds out!"
"That's right," said the washer, "we all work for others, so we don't dare to ask. But you really don't know how beautiful those little girls are..."
