A conversation with the woman at the door of Si Tian Prison.
Lu Jing successfully established his image as a playboy in the other party's mind.
But it was not without gain. In addition to knowing that Kui had taken action, he also knew that the person he was looking for this time was not in Si Tian Prison.
This was indeed the case. Lu Jing and Xie Lili walked past the door of Si Tianjian.
Lu Jing took out the Ooh hidden in his sleeve again, and found that it was still leading the two of them north, and finally arrived at Qixia Temple next door.
Although this Taoist temple is not as old as Si Tianjian, it has been in Beijing for some years.
The practitioners of all ages are very good at observing numerology.
Even though most of the officials of the past dynasties in Dachen worshiped Buddhism and suppressed Taoism, and even the common people were mostly fasting and worshiping Buddha, the Taoist priests of Qixia Temple could still live a comfortable life by relying on their unique skill of divination. Very comfortable.
Lu Jing didn't expect that they would be related to strange objects.
And the most important thing is that Qixia Temple and Si Tianjian's official office are only fifty feet apart, almost right next to Si Tianjian. I don't know which strange thing is so bold as to choose to settle here.
Have you ever heard the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest?
Lu Jing glanced at the gate of Qixia Temple, turned around and said to Xie Lili, "You stay outside this time."
"No." Xie Lili immediately shook her head. Seeing Lu Jing frowning, she quickly added, "It's not that I don't listen to you. The main reason is that just now you were with that... well, the aunt hinted at a relationship with me. This It just didn't make sense to leave me out at this time.
"And this place is so close to Si Tianjian's Yamen. If she turns back halfway and sees me standing here alone, she will definitely be suspicious. Even if she doesn't come back, there is a high probability that I will be seen by other supervisors. What if? If you mention this when chatting with her, you will still be suspected."
Lu Jing stared at Xie Lili for a while, and finally had to admit that he was convinced by her.
"That's still the old rule. Just follow me and don't run around."
"Of course." Xie Lili said, "Although I like to solve crimes, I still cherish my own life. Besides, there are some benefits to you taking me with you."
"What's the benefit?"
"I know the master of Qixia Temple." Xie Lili said with a wink.
"If you just break in like this, you will definitely arouse the suspicion of the strange thing inside, but if I come forward, we can pretend to go to Qixia Temple to find him."
"Why do you know the owner of Qixia Temple?" Lu Jing frowned.
"Because I have been running to Qixia Temple for a while."
"Do you also like to observe numerology, or do you want to see Daozang in it?" Lu Jing suddenly closed his mouth when he said this, and then glanced at Xie Lili.
The girl knew that someone had guessed it, so she smiled.
"I'm curious."
What Xie Lili was curious about was obviously not the Taoist priests in Qixia Temple, nor the Taoist priests in the temple, but the Si Tianjian next door.
And she also knew that she, an ordinary person, could not enter the Sitian Prison, so she came to save the country by zhaoququguo. She went to Qixia Temple next door every day to play chess with Taoist Qingchen, the master of the temple, and inquired about her neighbors' affairs.
Lu Jing didn't know what to say to her behavior, but as Xie Lili said, at least the two of them had a suitable excuse for coming this time.
So Lu Jing asked the girl to come forward and knock on the door.
Not long after, the door of the temple was pushed open a crack, and the head of a little Taoist priest poked out from behind, saying at the same time, "What time is it now? Our Taoist temple has been closed. Let's do fortune telling in the morning." "
In the end, I heard Xie Lili say, "Duanwu, it's me. I'm here to play chess with your master again, and I've also brought a helper. The two of us will play against him."
The little Taoist priest named Duan Wu thought that this game of chess was not a fight, so could two people play together?
However, he had already recognized Xie Lili standing outside the door and knew that she was the daughter of the new Shaoqing of Dali Temple. She had always come to the temple to play chess with her master.
Although there have been fewer visits in the past two months, the little Taoist still opened the door for Xie Lili.
Then he rubbed his eyes again and looked at Lu Jing behind Xie Lili, "This young hero is..."
"My chess friend." Xie Lili put her shoulder on the Dragon Boat Festival and interrupted him, "My hands are itchy. Take me quickly and find your master."
Duanwu was urged by Xie Lili and immediately stopped caring about Lu Jing. Why, "Miss Lili, it's a bit late today. Master..."
"Don't lie to me. I know he must not have slept, and he is more addicted to chess than me. Just tell him."
After Duanwu heard what Xie Lili said, he could only let the two of them into the temple first, and then hurriedly ran to report to the master.
Lu Jing looked around and asked Xie Lili, "How many people are there in this Taoist temple?"
"Six. The master of the temple is Taoist Qingchen. You have seen him during the Dragon Boat Festival. He is responsible for welcoming guests. There is also an old Taoist priest who is Qingchen's uncle, a patrol officer, a high gong, and a cook. Except for Dian Zao and Dragon Boat Festival, the rest can tell people's fortunes and tell fortunes. So don't look at Qixia Guanxiao, it's quite profitable, and all Qingchen drinks is the palace's tribute tea."
"Did you just say that he loves playing chess?"
"Yes, but his level is quite bad and he can't win against anyone. I am the only one who can match him by letting him play chess, so he especially likes to play chess with me."
While the two were talking, the Dragon Boat Festival had already gone and returned.
As Xie Lili expected, Duanwu said, "Master is changing clothes. Please come with me. I will make tea for you first."
"It's too late to drink tea. Just pour us two glasses of water. As for the way, you don't need to lead me. I've been here so many times and I still don't recognize you."
Xie Lili waved his hand and walked inside on his own after speaking.
Duanwu obviously understood Xie Lili's temper very well, and he actually went straight to the kitchen after hearing what she said.
Xie Lili took Lu Jing to the Jade Emperor Palace and went straight to the backyard without entering the living room. During the process, he passed by the dormitory and heard the sound of chanting from inside.
Judging from the sound, there should be three people.
Xie Lili walked to a stone table, stopped, looked at the chess pieces scattered on the table, and let out a light sigh.
"how?"
Xie Lili did not answer immediately, but reached out and touched the stone table again, and then said, "Someone played chess here just now, and his level was quite good. Qingchen does not have this strength."
"Does Miss Xie look down on Pindao so much?"
As soon as Xie Lili finished speaking, she heard a cheerful male voice.
He was a fair-faced Taoist with no beard and light steps. He looked like he was in his early forties. He had a good look and had no experience in internal energy and mental skills. However, he had a rosy complexion and even breathing. He came from the direction of the dormitory.
