Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The use of that basin is also simple, the water in it is used by him to wash his hands and face, and the used water is reluctant to throw away, so he puts it in the basin, and after a long time, the sludge in the water sinks to the bottom of the basin, and he can use it again." ”

Zhou Kui's eyes widened in surprise, and he was speechless for a long time. At this time, the old Taoist walked into the house on crutches, gave a salute, and said, "Two military masters, you are polite. ”

Lin Yuan and Zhou Kui hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and Lao Dao said again: "The two military masters also saw it, and there is nothing here in Poor Dao, so I won't invite the two military masters to tea." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "Daoist, you are polite, I have already told them, in the future, I will send someone to bring you water and some rice and noodles regularly, you are old, don't run around the mountains and mountains." ”

Lao Dao was so grateful that he thanked him again and again, and Lin Yuan smiled and said: "You don't have to thank us, this Taoist temple is so inconvenient, why don't you go down the mountain?" Lao Dao said helplessly: "Poor Dao is almost seventy years old this year, and his legs and feet are not dexterous, where can he go down the mountain?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Isn't there any other Taoist temple under the mountain?" ”

The old Taoist sighed and said gloomily: "Yes, yes, but it's so far away from here, you look at my age, I swallowed my breath before I went to other Taoist temples." A few years ago, the military master asked me to go down the mountain, but where can I go? I just wanted to die of old age in this temple, so I said that I wouldn't move anything, and I pretended to be in the name of the god of fire. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Otherwise, I'll send someone to send you to other Taoist temples, what do you think?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What you said is true?" ”

Zhou Kui smiled on the side: "Dao Chief, do you know who Lu Dao is?" He is famous all over the world! How could he lie to you! ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he thought about it and asked, "Who is Lin Yuan?" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This old road has lived on the top of the mountain for a long time, and it seems that there are fewer times to go down the mountain, and there is less communication with people, so it is not surprising that he doesn't know who I am." Lin Yuan didn't explain much to him, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, just believe me, you see that you are penniless, what can I get by lying to you?" ”

Lao Dao was amused by Lin Yuan's words, and said with a smile: "That's right, I really have nothing to deceive, if you can really send me to other Taoist temples, then Poor Dao will be very grateful, but I don't know why you want me to move out." ”

Lin Yuan said: "We are going to build a fort here, and there are not many flat places on the mountain, so we want to occupy your Taoist temple." ”

Lao Dao said: "Occupy it, occupy it, this broken Taoist temple has been many years, and I am afraid that it will fall if there is a heavy snowfall, I will pack up my things, and I will go down the mountain with you." Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, Lao Dao went into the house to clean up, he didn't have anything, it didn't take ten minutes to come out, and when he came out, he was holding something in his hand, Lin Yuan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw such a thing!

It turned out to be a string of eighteen stars and moon Bodhi Buddha beads!

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "He is an old Taoist, how can he have Buddha beads?" When Lin Yuan was puzzled, Lao Dao handed the string of Buddha beads to Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "This is the thing of Master Qingxu of Xiangshan Temple, Poor Dao had a good relationship with Master Qingxu when he was young, so he gave this string of Buddha beads to him, Poor Dao is afraid that he will not have a few days to live, please Lin Shuai give this Buddha bead back to Elder Qingxu, and tell him that the deceased has passed away, so there is no need to worry about it." After Lao Dao finished speaking, he unconsciously shed tears, Lin Yuan comforted him a few words, and then took him down the mountain, on the way, Lin Yuan and Zhou Kui wanted to carry him several times, but he insisted on refusing.

When he came down the mountain, Lin Yuan arranged for someone to send Lao Dao, and then asked someone to send the news to the Machinery Bureau, so that they could design a plan to transport the automatic cannon system up the mountain, and when everything was arranged, he returned to Beijing.

Lin Yuan took the string of Buddhist beads to find Shen Wanqing, came to the newspaper office, but was told that she had been out of the house for a day, and she had not come back until dark, Shen Wanqing did not come back, as soon as she entered the house, she grabbed the cup on the table and poured a few mouthfuls of water, and then said: "That string of Buddhist beads is really hard to find, I ran to several places today, but I didn't find it." ”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, raised his hand, held up the string of Buddha beads, and said with a smile: "Look, what is this?" ”

Shen Wanqing's eyes widened, she looked at the string of Buddhist beads, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get it?" ”

Lin Yuan then talked about how to find a cannon position, how to please Lao Dao, and how Lao Dao gave away Buddha beads, Shen Wanqing exclaimed: "Oh my God, there is such a coincidence? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Now let's discuss, how can we use this string of Buddhist beads to replace the string on Hu Liang's wrist?" ”

Shen Wanqing thought for a while and said, "If you want to change it, you have to let him take off the Buddha beads in his hand, what can I do?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "If you just pick the Buddha beads, it is indeed a little difficult, but if you let him take off his clothes, it will be much easier." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "What?" Let him strip naked? You mean, we put him in a brothel? ”

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "The brothel is not good, even if he takes off his clothes in that place, he will keep it by his side, and we have no way to send someone in to change it; If he doesn't pick the beads at that time, won't we be busy in vain? And if he really believed in Buddhism, he would not have gone into a brothel. ”

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and said to himself, "If you want him to take off his clothes in a place that he can't see, is there such a place?" ”

Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There you have it, the bathhouse!" If he's going to take a bath, he can't wear clothes. ”

Shen Wanqing nodded and said, "This is a good idea, let's let him go to the bathhouse, and then start in the bathhouse, but how to let him go?" It's definitely not suitable for you to go with him, that Wang Yuding, I think he is cautious, and it will definitely make a mistake if he lets him go. ”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "How can we forget Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang's age is about the same as that Hu Liang, Lao Zhang is now a famous figure in the business world, with him, things will be much easier!" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Okay, I'll put a bugging device in the beads, you go to Zhang Hua, as for the details of the operation, I will definitely not be able to enter the bathhouse, you can discuss it with Zhang Hua." ”

Lin Yuan then came out to find Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua set up Zhang's Industrial Company according to Lin Yuan's requirements, Zhang Hua used his own wrist and the technical strength of the Beijing ship, and united dozens of small workshops in the light industry, and the business scope covered printing, papermaking, tanning and so on.

When Lin Yuan saw Zhang Hua, he first asked, "Do you know Hu Liang?" ”

Zhang Hua thought for a while and said, "Yes, we have met before, how do you remember to ask him?" ”

Lin Yuan whispered: "It is very likely that he is a Japanese spy?" ”

Lin Yuan was stunned when he saw Zhang Hua, and then said: "We are still doubting whether it is or not, Wanqing and I have come up with a solution......

The two discussed for half the night, and finally finalized the plan, and the next morning, Lin Yuan asked Wang Yuding to introduce Zhang Hua to Hu Liang, Hu Liang is the best lake, and he is naturally no stranger to a set of flattery management, so he introduced Zhang Hua as a confidant, and he hated to see each other late. After greeting politely for a while, Zhang Hua said: "It's the middle of winter now, just eat mutton tonic, before eating, let's go to Yunshan Immortal Pavilion and take a good bath." ”
