Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 86 See the half-pull parchment again
Zhou Shaoyu understood immediately. He immediately took out his sword from his waist, stood in front of Xie Yanyan, and pulled her behind him.

Xu Wenrong also knew that something was going on and immediately stood by her side, working back-to-back with Zhou Shaoyu to protect Xie Yanyan.

Zhou Jin stood beside Zhou Shaoyu, blocking his way.

Xie Yanyan suddenly said: "Let's go!"

Originally, she "saw" several people standing on the third and fourth floors of the tower, rummaging for something.

Those people probably jumped away immediately after noticing they came in, but according to Xie Yanyan's current scanning range, those people didn't go far and were still 500 meters away.

Xu Wenrong asked in a low voice: "Which direction did the person go?"

Xie Yanyan pointed to the mountain: "On those trees."

The man in black on the tree: |||! Are you a human? It’s all hidden here, can you still see it?
Zhou Shaoyu:?

[Is her vision so sharp? Can actually see 500 steps away]

[No, her hearing is very good, she must have heard the other person’s breathing]

Xie Yanyan: Everything you said is right!
The old abbot had just gone to see the sick child and found out that Xie Yanyan had given him medicine and money. He was so excited that he came after him again.

"This is what the man left behind at that time."

He was carrying a box and handed Zhou Shaoyu a sheepskin scroll. The sheepskin scroll looked old, with half-open pictures and was very shabby.

Zhou Jin kept staring at the trees over there, and Zhou Shaoyu took the parchment scroll.

The sheepskin scroll is well preserved and has clear pictures. It depicts Guyue Temple, the mountain, the main hall, and the pagoda.

There are two strange trees in front of the pagoda. The two trees are intertwined like snakes, and there are two holes in the trunks.

Above it is written: North of Guyue Temple and west of False Pavilion.

Signature seal: The moon is the hometown of Ming
The time is the 25th year of Emperor Cheng’s reign

Xie Yanyan:
Could it be that some senior traveled to the Han Dynasty after his death?

"What does it mean?"

There is a place called False Pavilion West to the north of Guyue Temple?
The abbot shook his head, there was no fake pavilion. There is no place called fake pavilion, not even real pavilion.

But is there any use in keeping such a parchment roll?

Xie Yanyan glanced at the parchment scroll and felt that it looked familiar.

Pointing to the two trees on the parchment scroll, he said, "These trees are so strange."

The old abbot made a surprising statement: "These two trees are in the temple."

The old abbot led them to the side courtyard northwest of Guyue Tower. When he opened the courtyard door, he saw two strange twining trees.

One of them had been struck by lightning, and only half of the tree crown was left. A dark trunk with missing bark was covered with moss and parasitic vines.

The strange thing is that the two trees grow together and are intertwined from the roots. However, at a height of more than three meters, the two trees separate. The separation distance is about one meter. The two trees are intertwined again.

Forming a strange bracket () shape.

The position of the brackets is that there is a tree hole in the trunk of each tree. The two tree holes, one slightly higher in the east and one slightly shorter in the west, face each other.

The abbot said that there is a legend about these two trees: if you take a copper coin and throw it from one side to the other, if the throw is right, a treasure will be opened.

Although it is a legend, many people have tried their luck. The old abbot said that two hundred years ago, this place was bustling with people every day, with people from high-ranking officials to ordinary people coming to try it with copper coins or silver.

But none of them hit the target. It was too difficult to go from one tree hole to another. A young man once made a hit, but he didn't find any treasure.

Since then, there have been rumors among the people that the treasure story is a gimmick, meant to increase the popularity of the temple and to deceive people.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people came, so that now it was deserted and almost no one cared about it. Even the monks were only the four of them. It looked less like a temple and more like a dilapidated wild residence in the mountains.

Xie Yanyan: I guess Emperor Xuanwen didn’t make the investment either, otherwise the temple wouldn’t be so dilapidated!

Xu Wenrong asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to vote?" Zhou Shaoyu said confidently: "I don't want to vote. It would be too embarrassing if I fail to vote."

Xu Wenrong laughed and said, "If you don't vote for me, I will vote for you."

Under the light of the lantern, he took a piece of money and threw it through the hole on one side. Everyone watched him throw it, but they saw the money "dong" as if it hit something.

Before he could react, the money fell to the ground.

Several people laughed.

Zhou Jin used his own inner strength to throw, but it also failed.

Zhou Shaoyu looked at Xie Yanyan.

Xie Yanyan picked up a piece of money. It didn't matter, she just threw it in and played with it. She was a woman anyway, and she wouldn't ask for some treasure to become the overlord.

Everyone was waiting to see her invest money. Suddenly there was a "click" sound in the distance. Everyone instinctively turned their heads to look. It turned out to be the big tree where the men in black were hiding. Suddenly the tree crown broke, and some people couldn't dodge. Falling from the tree.

At the moment when everyone turned to look, Xie Yanyan looked at the tree hole and threw it gently. The copper coin had already fallen into the tree hole.

? Where's the money?
Neither fell from his side nor from the opposite side.

As soon as Xie Yanyan threw it out, the scanner immediately followed the copper coin, but could not trace it. Since the copper coin fell into the tree hole, it seemed to have entered a light and could no longer be seen.

Xu Wenrong, Zhou Jin, and the old abbot were all attracted by the sudden break of the trees in the distance.

Her action of throwing money fell only in Zhou Shaoyu's eyes.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't look at the place where the man in black fell in the distance like others, but focused on her.

He saw her throw the money in for a split second and the money never came out.

Everyone turned around and looked again, Xie Yanyan was already standing there calm and clear.

"Cousin, would you like to vote too?"

"I won't vote."

Xie Yanyan looked at the two tree holes indifferently. Not to mention opening the treasure, she even put a dollar in them.

Everyone looked at the tree hole and saw the treasure gourd at the top of the Lone Moon Tower opposite. Under the moonlight, the small hole looked like a shape. Following the moonlight from the tree hole on the opposite side, it fell to the ground from the tree hole here, round and round. Yes, like two copper coins.

The old abbot said that the Guyue Tower is dark and dark at night. During the day, everyone can go in and have fun.

Everyone sighed for a while, then held candles for a night walk together, and then went to the main hall to burn incense and pay homage.

Since entering Guyue Temple, Xie Yanyan has been secretly recording videos of the layout, scale, monks' customs, Guyue Tower, and the two strange trees, and even worshiping Buddha in the main hall.

Sakyamuni is enshrined in the main hall. The incense burner is completely different from her previous life. It is very exquisite. The Boshan burner is like a bud waiting to bloom.

The fragrance is also extremely pleasant.

The old abbot said ashamedly: "The temple is too poor and we can't afford incense."

The incense they burned was the last incense left in the temple.

There was a wooden merit box in front of the main hall. Zhou Shaoyu took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, Zhou Jin took out a piece, and Xu Wenrong also took out an ingot.

Throw it down, and when you hear the sound of it hitting the wooden floor, you know that the merit box is empty.

Xie Yanyan did not donate. He had just given Huiming two ingots of silver, 100 taels.

The old abbot's face broke out in laughter. He received a few hundred taels today. If he saves some money, it will be enough for the living expenses of the temple for several years.

He was so happy that he led everyone back.

Opening the rusty iron locks on the doors, the old abbot said: "Only the emperor or the prince is qualified to enter here, and no one else can enter."
