From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 18
Follow the Taoist priests across the mountain gate.

Facing them are the two small lotus ponds in the vestibule of the dojo, the dark green round leaves are a bit bleak in the gloomy sky.

There are water curtains hanging on the left and right corridors, and some bright yellow candlelight shines through the atrium hall of the ashram directly opposite the mountain gate, and the faint sound of chanting sutras can be heard from it.

Further back, there is a tower and the backyard of the dojo where many wing rooms are located, connecting the back mountain area surrounded by the dense forest of Lianfeng Mountain.

Towering courtyard walls can be seen everywhere, and the surface is full of mottled rain marks.

At first glance, it looks like a quiet and peaceful scene, but one does not know how many dirty things are hidden underneath.

"Let's divide into two teams, An Jing, you met Yan Dongsheng before, bring two people to search with you."

Wu Butou looked around, his eyes fell on An Jing, and he said,

"If you find anything, please let me know immediately!"

Want to attract attention to buy time for the army to encircle.

The best way is naturally to make the members of the blue bandits in the dojo tired of dealing with it.

"Master Wu, I only need a guide to lead the way here, why don't we let this priest accompany me?"

An Jing fixed his eyes on the young Taoist priest beside the acting temple master, and asked.

Judging from the opponent's performance at the mountain gate just now, it is certain that his status in the Qi Gui Dojo is not low.

An Jing wanted to take this person away alone, so that the other Taoist priests or blue bandits present would lose their backbone.

The young Taoist priest who was still supporting the acting temple master wanted to refuse, but just as he opened his mouth, he noticed the "friendly" gaze of Wu Butou next to him, and realized that he could not give the latter a chance to get mad, so he could only nod in agreement.

"My surname is An, and I have a single name, Jing. I don't know the long name?"

An Jing deliberately chose the opposite direction from Butou Wu, and the two walked in the corridor on the right.

"The next name is Qingpingzi, where does Mr. An want to search?"

Looking past the Miao Dao and the crossbow at the waist behind An Jing, Qing Pingzi asked with a light smile.

"Yan Dongsheng and Chen Siruo are hiding on the mountain. They must need food. I'm going to the kitchen to have a look."

An Jing walked two steps forward, came to Qing Pingzi's side, suddenly put her hand on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice,
"You don't know, those two guys are thieves, and they are the best at flying over the walls. Maybe they are hiding in the kitchen right now, feasting on them!"

The voice fell.

Qingpingzi turned her head abruptly.

The four eyes met, and the sky thundered suddenly!
"The kitchen in the dojo is guarded by Dao Tong at all times. I think if the robbers break in, they will definitely notice."

Qingpingzi bowed and took a step back, and said calmly.

"That's right, maybe I'm thinking too much, but I still have to search, the Taoist priest will lead the way?"

Staring at the change in Qingpingzi's expression, An Jing smiled and said with a retracted hand.

Wait for the Taoist priest to turn around and lead the way forward.

The smile on An Jing's face disappeared immediately, and he half-closed his eyes.

Looks like it's been prepared
The two walked along the corridor to the kitchen.

After all, it is a place where killing and fireworks are often carried out, so the kitchen is at the most remote position on the right side of the dojo.

Passing through an arch, the two stepped into the side hall path.

The voices of Wu Butou and others behind him gradually faded away, replaced by the sound of drizzle beating on the branches and leaves on both sides of the road.

"Is the Taoist priest a native of Lanyang City?"

An Jing took out the spiritual vision talisman and wiped his eyes, walked and looked at the buildings on both sides, and asked casually.

"Yes, I am an orphan. I was adopted by the temple master since I was a child and grew up in the dojo."

Qing Pingzi, who was walking in front, turned her head to answer, noticed the talisman in An Jing's hand, and stared intently.

"Haven't been to other places?"

Deliberately slowing down his pace, carefully observing the nearby temples, but still not finding the flow of dark energy, An Jing raised his eyebrows.

As conceived before the action began.

The blue thief has moved to a hidden place for things that may be discovered in the dojo and are involved in the ghost moth case.

No wonder it was only a symbolic block at the mountain gate, apparently confident enough to make sure they couldn't find anything.

It's a pity that An Jing and the others had confirmed their identities in advance through Chang Gui and the messenger who was captured alive last night.

This trip, the search is only a secondary task.

The main purpose is to "go crazy"!
The size of the ashram is small, and after walking about a hundred steps along the path, An Jing saw the wooden door in the backyard where the kitchen is located.

There are many diabolo cages placed in front of the door, and the courtyard door is also open.

An Jing stepped forward and saw three men in coarse jackets who were processing ingredients in the yard. The sudden visit of An Jing and Qing Pingzi obviously surprised them, and they turned their attention to them.

"Tuesday, any recent food thefts from the kitchen?"

Qing Pingzi took the initiative to step forward and asked the three of them.

"Stolen? Aren't you joking? No one comes to the mountains to steal food. Besides, the daily food in our ashram is not good. If you want to steal food, there are not restaurants everywhere in the city?"

The middle-aged man with a cloth scarf on his shoulder stood up, expressing surprise at Qingpingzi's question.

After getting the answer, Qing Pingzi was about to tell An Jing that nothing had been stolen here, but found that the latter didn't listen to them at all, his eyes shimmered, and he went straight to the kitchen.

Wait for An Jing to enter the kitchen.

The three people in the yard got up one after another.

Tue, who was still a countryman before, turned his back to the kitchen, raised his hand to wipe his neck, and looked at Qing Pingzi with questioning eyes.

Qingpingzi shook her head, signaling them not to act rashly.

In his view, the Yamen is only suspicious of the Qigui Dojo now, and there is still room for change.

If the person investigating the case died here, it would be tantamount to voluntarily revealing his identity.

But just when Qingpingzi was about to wait for An Jing to return without success and take him away.

There is a loud arrow suddenly rising from the mountain behind the dojo!
The ear-piercing screams are accompanied by crimson fireworks, which are particularly eye-catching in the cloudy sky!
what happened?

The sudden sound of the arrow made Qing Pingzi stunned for a moment, and then thinking of the hidden things in the back mountain, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and a fierce gleam appeared in his eyes looking towards the kitchen.

"The situation has changed, there is a problem in the back mountain, you guys."

The accident in Houshan undoubtedly exceeded Qingpingzi's expectations. She was about to give an order when the kitchen door was suddenly kicked open.

An Jing walked out of the kitchen with a sullen face, stared at them and cursed repeatedly,
"Damn it, you bastards who gave birth to sons and have no assholes, you should kill a thousand knives."

"Master An's scolding is a bit ugly!"

Qing Pingzi, who was disturbed by what happened in Houshan, heard these obscenities, and subconsciously refuted them.

But before he said those words, he raised his hand to cover his mouth as if thinking of something.

"Yo~ Taoist priest, didn't you grow up in the dojo on this mountain? Do you understand the curse words from Lingnan?"

An Jing took a bite of an apple she found in the kitchen, and looked at Qing Pingzi with a playful face.

It took him a lot of effort to learn these swear words of Lingnan slang.
