After agreeing to meet at the place where they came in half an hour later regardless of whether they could be found, Zhu Yan asked Mu Jingyu to stretch out his hand, leaving a fang-like mark on his palm, and at the same time warned him that if he encountered danger , when you can't escape, you can use the fangs he left behind. When the time comes, not only can they temporarily resist, they will also hear the noise and come to the rescue in time.
According to the agreed plan, Biuan, Zhu Yan, and Baxie went to search in three directions: east, south, and west respectively, while Mu Jingyu went to the north to search alone.
When he was actually inside, it was so quiet all around that Mu Jingyu couldn't help but be on guard. Now, he does not have the Jiuyao Xuanguang Chain in his hand, and the Xuzi Spiritual Pearl has been brought to the Jade Kun Palace by Bi Yun. Mu Jingyu knows that he has no one to rely on anymore, so he is naturally extremely cautious in his actions.
"It's strange. Where did Elder Wu, Han Yao, Su Ci and the others go?" Mu Jingyu carefully searched dozens of courtyards along the north side, not to mention the three elders, including Lingjue Temple. The eminent monk has never seen it.
"Could it be that... Qingke is lying to us? Elder Liowu is not in the Forest of Steles?" Gradually, Mu Jingyu began to suspect that Qingke was lying to them.
Just on second thought, I thought it was impossible. If Qingke had deliberately deceived them, countless monks from Lingjue Temple would have come here to surround and kill them. However, they had not met anyone for almost two or three quarters of an hour after they entered the Forest of Steles.
"Forget it, there are too many courtyards here, maybe they are elsewhere." Mu Jingyu suppressed his impatience, glanced at the distance, and found that there were still many places waiting for him to search.
Looking in the other three directions, there was no movement of Bi An, Zhu Yan, and Ba Xi. It can be seen from this that they probably didn't find it either.
But then, Mu Jingyu slowly noticed some differences. As he got closer to the periphery, all the courtyards became simpler. Apparently, this place is just a temporary refuge for the monks and the surrounding people when Lingjue Temple encounters danger.
If it looks like this... Elder Liao Wu should still be in the Central Sutra Pavilion!
Thinking of this, Mu Jingyu decided to give up the search and went back to the Sutra Pavilion to search again. At the same time, I wanted to inform the three of them, but first I was worried that they didn't know where they were, and secondly, I was worried that the time would be wasted.
Finally he said to himself: "Forget it, anyway, Senior Zhu Yan said that in half an hour at most, we will meet at the place we came in before. It has been almost half an hour now. If I were in the Sutra Pavilion No movement was found, and the time is almost up. If...if we meet Elder Wu or Han Yao and Su Ci, they won't be able to wait for me and will come looking for me."
After making up his mind, Mu Jingyu returned along the original path. I still didn't meet any monks, and I no longer searched the rooms one by one, so the speed was naturally much faster. It only took a stick of incense to find the Sutra Pavilion.
After taking a deep breath, Mu Jingyu tiptoed inside. First, he searched around carefully, but still didn't find any movement, and then cautiously stepped into the real Sutra Pavilion.
The result is of course the same as before. Not to mention the previous void space, all kinds of fairy treasures inside were also gone. Obviously, after Elder Wu gave him the Wordless Spiritual Pearl, he must have moved all the immortal treasures elsewhere.
Mu Jingyu walked around inside and after making sure that he found nothing, he couldn't help but feel frustrated and wondered to himself, where did Han Yao and Su Ci go?
Just when Mu Jingyu was about to give up here and return to the place he just entered, waiting for the three of them, he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from his ears.
Because the sound was too weak, Mu Jingyu couldn't tell who it was for a moment, so he quickly stepped forward and looked for the place where the sound came from.
"It should... come from here!" Mu Jingyu stopped at a door in the corner of the Sutra Pavilion and put his head against it. Sure enough, he heard the sound much clearer. However, it is still impossible to determine who the owner of the voice is.
Mu Jingyu wanted to open the door and go in, but then he remembered Zhu Yan and Bi An's instructions not to act without authorization. Just when he wanted to go back and join the three of them before talking, he suddenly heard the sound inside became much louder.
"Uncle, the two people who sneaked into the temple must have found Yang Luchan. Otherwise, there would be no trace of Yang Luchan here!"
"Yeah. It was still a step too late and they succeeded."
"Uncle, do you need me to inform them and search outside? Maybe Yang Luchan and others haven't left the temple yet."
"Don't worry, let me think about it carefully."
The room fell silent instantly, and Mu Jingyu was shocked. From the voices of these two people, it was easy to tell that one of them was Elder Wu!
Mu Jingyu felt that they didn't know that he was outside the door, and he didn't dare to move for fear of attracting their attention. After thinking for a moment, I decided to stay outside the door and listen to what Elder Wu said.
Mu Jingyu slowly raised his arm and gently pushed open a small gap. Even though this single movement made beads of sweat form on Mu Jingyu's back, fortunately Elder Wu didn't notice.
Mu Jingyu didn't dare to wipe the sweat off his forehead and looked inside through the gap. The person sitting first was none other than Elder Wu, and the person next to him was Master Puhui whom he had met before.
After a long time, Elder Liao Wu opened his eyes and said: "Pu Hui, Yang Luchan and the others should still be in the Forest of Steles and have not escaped."
Puhui asked in confusion: "Uncle, why are you so sure?"
Elder Liaowu explained: "In addition to entering from the forest of steles, there are only thirty-six entrances in the forest of steles in this temple. If you are not a member of the temple, outsiders will not be able to go deep into it even if they find it."
"So, I think those two people must have entered here with the help of Qing Yi and Qing Hong, and found the whereabouts of Yang Luchan. However, Qing Yi and Qing Hong have long since disappeared. Not even in the Forest of Steles. Even if they rescue Yang Luchan, they can't even think of escaping."
"Uncle's analysis should be good." Pu Hui nodded and said: "There is no news from the other brothers. I think they are still here. It's just... they have been hiding, and we can't afford it."
Elder Liaowu said: "Are you worried that the longer time passes, the North Pluto, Master Tongxuan, and the righteous sects will join forces to kill us?"
"Exactly!" Pu Hui said: "Although it is still a thousand miles from Jiuhua Mountain to here. But they rushed here desperately, and it won't take long. Master, this disciple feels that we should find Yang Luchan quickly. At the same time, I am asking for the next volume of demonic skills so that I can deal with them."
"Why don't I know what you said?" Elder Liaowu sighed: "It's just... Hey, you also know that Yang Luchan is not only talented and intelligent, but also extremely cunning. Now that he has escaped from here, he must have found a place to hide. There are countless houses in the Forest of Steles, how easy is it to find them?"
"Otherwise, let's recruit all the disciples here. It's always easier to search when there are more people."
"No!" Elder Liaowu rebuffed him: "Can you make sure that they are really surrendered by me? What if... if someone has different intentions and secretly lets a few people escape, I will be too late to catch up. .”
Mu Jingyu sneered secretly when he heard this: "Humph, Elder Wu, Elder Wu, you still have some self-awareness! You know that what you do is unpopular! If you really dare to let all the disciples in, you will really give it to me. Opportunity!" Through Master Qingke's words and deeds, Mu Jingyu knew that there were not many disciples in Lingjue Temple who were willing to follow Elder Wu.
"Uncle!" Pu Hui said suddenly: "If we could know who rescued Yang Luchan, we might be able to make a plan!"
"Oh?" Elder Liao Wu's eyes lit up, knowing Pu Hui's intention: "Are they...if I hadn't guessed, they should be people from the Han family, or even Han Yao and Su Ci!"
"What!" Pu Hui originally wanted to start with the identity of the rescuers. As long as they knew their identities, they could send some people in advance. In this case, even if Yang Luchan and others cannot be intercepted in Lingjue Temple, they can still follow the clues to find where they may go.
But I didn’t expect that the elders would conclude that they would be members of the Han family, even Han Yao and Su Ci!
"Uncle, didn't Han Yao and Su Ci die in the temple of the Jiuli tribe? If you always say that it was someone from the Han family who did it, I can still understand. But if you say it was these two people... …The disciples don’t believe it anymore.”
Mu Jingyu was equally shocked. He didn't expect that Elder Wu could guess the identities of Han Yao and Su Ci before seeing their true faces. It seemed that there was something between these two people and Yang Luchan that he didn't know about. Moreover, Elder Liowu knew it very well!
Thinking of this, Mu Jingyu didn't even dare to move. He listened quietly to Elder Wu's next words, hoping to know the truth.
It's a pity that although Elder Liowu knew it well, he was unwilling to tell Pu Hui. He just said a few vague words: "Pu Hui, as for why I concluded that they are Han Yao and Su Ci, you don't have to worry about it. In this way, I Look inside again. Maybe they are still hiding in there and haven't come out. You... Immediately send some people to search carefully. If you really can't find them, find some reliable people to monitor the Han family. Let’s see if Han Yao and Su Ci take Yang Luchan to find them.”
Although Elder Wu had made arrangements, he had no hope for it. It seemed that Elder Lie Wu still had some things that he had not said yet, and he did not believe that Han Yao and the others would defect to Han Songqing and Han Wenyuan after escaping. It's just that there is no other way at the moment but to do our best and leave no loopholes.
Seeing that the two of them had reached a consensus and Pu Hui was about to come out, Mu Jingyu hurriedly looked for a place to hide. But after looking around, I found that there was a large open space behind the Sutra Pavilion, with no place to hide at all.
"Forget it, I don't believe it. Can't we leave the Sutra Pavilion before Elder Wu finds out?" Mu Jingyu spread his palms, looked at the fangs left by Zhu Yan, and then suddenly exerted force on his feet. His body flew towards the door like an arrow from a string.
"Who!" Pu Hui was the first to notice the sound. Without waiting for Elder Wu's instructions, he opened the door with a palm. He saw a disciple wearing the cassock of the temple flying towards the door. He couldn't see his face clearly. He thought he It was a disciple of our temple who overheard their conversation just now. He knew that he was leaving and was preparing to escape.
"Hahaha... Mu Jingyu, Mu Jingyu, I haven't found you yet, so I came to your door myself!" Although he didn't see Mu Jingyu's face clearly, he already knew who Elder Wu was. From Mu Jingyu's aura, he sensed his identity.
"Mu Jingyu!" Pu Hui had only seen Mu Jingyu once, so of course she couldn't recognize him. But Elder Wu firmly believed what he said: "Uncle, let me catch him and bring him to your old master!"
Pu Hui took the lead and vowed to take down Mu Jingyu so that he could make meritorious service in front of Elder Wu. Unexpectedly, Elder Wu said: "Pu Hui, please retreat first. Since Mu Jingyu can get here, it means that there are strong people around him to help. Although your cultivation is several times stronger than him, you must win in one fell swoop." Well, I’m afraid it will be difficult to do!”
Elder Liao Wu stood up calmly, waved Pu Hui aside, and stared closely at Mu Jingyu's figure. As he said, from Jiuhua Mountain to Lingjue Temple, there is more than a thousand miles in between. How can Mu Jingyu follow closely without the help of a strong person? There must be a strong person beside you at this moment. In order to ensure that Mu Jingyu was captured in one fell swoop, Elder Liao Wu deliberately stopped his attack and waited for the people hiding in the dark to come out to respond, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.
