Yu Changchang and the others knew Zhuang Hengyun's ability and believed in his words. In the past ten years, Zhuang Hengyun has surveyed around the imperial tomb several times a year, but each time he returns empty-handed.

Li Qiufeng said: "These filial piety guards are haunted, and it is said that in the past, they once competed with Jinyiwei in the palace and won a big victory. It is because the successive commanders of the Jinyi Guard are quite jealous of the Xiaoling Guard. Now that we have arrived at the boundary of the Imperial Mausoleum, we must be careful, and we must not be negligent when encountering suspicious characters. ”

A few people discussed it again, but they couldn't figure it out. In the end, Yu Chang said: "Let's settle down today, and then visit the imperial tomb at night." ”

The group returned to the road, and Zhuang Hengyun had already set a secret place. The group turned northwest and walked slowly along a mountain path. After walking for more than ten miles, the mountain road was rugged, and the carriage could no longer move forward. The people had already prepared and unloaded the baggage from the carriage and loaded it all on the horseback. The carriage was then pushed into the valley and cleaned of the trails before proceeding.

After walking three or four miles this time, a mountain peak appeared in front of me, but there was a flat mountain nest under the peak. Zhuang Hengyun said: "Turning this mountain peak, it is where the mausoleum of the first emperor is located. We only need to put the baggage here, which is the most convenient for visiting the tomb. Every time I sneaked near the Imperial Tomb, I went here to rest and prepare. ”

Yu Changchang praised: "Second child, your vision is really good. This place is high and flat, and it can be attacked and defended, and it is indeed a best hiding place. ”

Everyone immediately took off their baggage and set up a few tents, He Yi took out a few boxes of gunpowder, divided them into several bundles, and said with a smile: "When we enter the imperial tomb, carry these gunpowder separately, enough to blow up the tomb door." ”

Yu Changchang shook his head and said, "The imperial tomb is heavily guarded, so it's best to find the tomb and think of an ingenious way to open the tomb door." Otherwise, if we blow it up with gunpowder, once there is a sound, the defenders will come later, and we will be outnumbered, but I am afraid that it will be very bad. ”

Yan Dufei said: "The letter left by my senior brother has already mentioned that as long as you find his tomb, there is a way to find the treasure left by the first emperor. However, he did not mention in his letter whether the treasure was in the imperial tomb or not. ”

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Since the first emperor left a treasure, the scale must be not small, and it is only the most convenient to place it in the mausoleum." Otherwise, if you look for another place to hide the treasure, you will have to find someone to build it, but I am afraid that it will be very inconvenient. ”

Yu Changchang said: "The second brother is right, this treasure is in the imperial tomb nine times out of ten. As long as you find the secret in Mr. Qiao's grave, things will naturally be clear. ”

Several people discussed again, and suddenly heard a Zhuang Ding come to report, saying that a large temple was found not far away, and everyone was stunned. Zhuang Hengyun muttered: "I came here five months ago, and I didn't see a temple, can I not be gone?"

The crowd followed Na Zhuang Ding to a huge rock on the left, and Na Zhuang Ding pointed to a forest in the distance and said, "That big temple is in that forest." The villain went down to the bottom of the valley to draw water, and when he passed through the forest, he found that there was a large temple built in the forest. The villain was afraid of being discovered by the monks in the temple, so he hurried back to report to the owners without even hitting the water. ”

Yu Changchang said: "Second brother, didn't you find this big temple when you came here before?"

Zhuang Hengyun shook his head and said: "Every time I come here, I go out day and night, hide here and sleep during the day, and only at night do I cross the mountain peak to step outside the imperial mausoleum, so I never pay attention to that forest." ”

Yu Changchang said: "Since ancient times, there are many famous mountain monks, and Lotus Mountain is a treasure land of feng shui, and it is not uncommon for monks to build temples here. It's just that this temple is quite close to us, if the monks in the temple see us moving here, and reveal the news, I'm afraid ......"

At this point, he was silent. He Yi sneered: "Let's just give them a good time!, I'll go over with the fourth child in a while and kill them all to get rid of future troubles!"

Yu Changchang had already thought of this joint, but he always regarded himself as a hero, and if he opened his mouth, he would kill someone, and he would inevitably lose face. Hearing He Yi say this, it was exactly what he wanted, and he said to everyone at the moment: "In order for us to achieve great things, I'm afraid we can only do it according to the third child's wishes." ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Our trip is to make a fortune, and it's always inappropriate to hurt people's lives." Moreover, this place is not far from the imperial tomb, and this temple may be a royal temple. Once we hurt the monks in the temple, I am afraid that the garrison guarding the tomb will immediately notice it, which will be very detrimental to our next move. ”

He Yi snorted and said, "Then I have to listen to Brother Li's high opinion." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Let's go to the temple first, if this is just an ordinary temple, let's leave him alone." If there is something strange in the temple that is not good for our actions, it is not too late to do it again. ”

Yu Changchang said with a smile: "This is the old man's method, I think it is feasible." Which brother would like to go on a journey?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Since Li Mou came up with this idea, it is naturally the most appropriate for Li Mou to go." ”

Yu Changchang said: "It's the best, but it's hard to work again." If everything is normal in the temple, Brother Li will quickly turn back. If you are in danger in the temple, Brother Li must not fight, think of getting out as soon as possible, and then we will make another plan. ”

Li Qiufeng cleaned up and said goodbye to everyone. He looked in the right direction, went down into the valley, and went along a mountain stream for a mile, and reached the edge of the forest. Li Qiufeng hid behind a big tree and carefully observed the surrounding situation. Sure enough, I saw a red wall and blue tiles not far away, but the distance was too far for me to see clearly.

Li Qiufeng waited for a while, and saw that there was no one around, so he cautiously walked around the temple. He was afraid of being noticed by the monks in the temple, so he did not dare to walk along the path paved with gravel, so he made a circle from a distance and went around to the back of the temple. The scale of this temple is really not small, and the courtyard wall is more than one foot high. It's just that it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has shown a bit of dilapidation.

Li Qiufeng leaned on the wall and listened carefully for a while, faintly hearing the melodious sound of chanting. He performed the gecko swimming wall, quietly climbed to the top of the wall, and poked his head out to look into the courtyard. I saw that this is a three-entry temple, carved beams and painted buildings, very gorgeous. It's just that a lot of weeds have grown in the courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, and the yellow tiles on the roof of the main hall are full of wild grass, which shows that there have been many days of neglect to clean up. Li Qiufeng saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he jumped and landed in the courtyard lightly.

He made his way and ran down a bluestone path to the front hall. Turning through a moon gate, there was a row of monks' rooms on the left, and he was about to stop and think again, when he heard the sound of the door, and it seemed that someone was going to walk out of the monk's room. Li Qiufeng saw the opportunity very quickly, and his body was vertical, and he had flashed behind a big tree.

He had just finished hiding, and the door of the monk's room had opened by itself, and two men in red came out. Cheng Qiufeng looked at it intently, his heart was stunned, and he thought secretly: "It turns out that this is a lama temple. ”

I saw that these two people were wearing purple monk skirts, wearing high yellow monk hats, and bare arms, chatting while walking. The lama on the left whispered: "There is no way for several uncles and uncles to take that person, this person will live for a few more days, but I am afraid that everyone will have to flee for their lives." ”

The lama on the right was deeply worried, and said, "This man is accompanied by a woman, but I am afraid that he is a thief who abducts people." Although some brothers and sisters advocate going to the official mansion, it is only since they succeeded to the throne that our status in the Yellow Sect is not as good as before. A few years ago, the mausoleum was built for the emperor, and even our temple was demolished. The host master said that if you can, don't provoke the government, so as not to cause extraneous branches. Although this man is arrogant, he is reasonable, and he is much better than those insatiable officials. ”

The Lama on the left said: "We are most afraid that he will not leave, if the pilgrims who come to the incense see that there are women hidden in our temple, and let the county yamen know, they will definitely take advantage of this fate to send people to demolish our temple." ”

The two looked depressed, talked as they walked, and walked out through the moon gate. When Li Qiufeng heard these two people mention that someone had brought women to live in the lama temple, his heart couldn't help but move, and he immediately stayed in his heart. He knew that during the reign of Emperor Zhengde, the Yellow Sect was extremely powerful, and the Dharma affairs in the palace had always been presided over by the Master of the Yellow Sect. It's just that after he succeeded to the throne, he favored Taoism, and Lamaism has become increasingly weak. The magistrate also saw the joints and took the opportunity to squeeze the lama and make a profit. Lamaism is not forbidden to be feminine, but it has given many officials as an excuse to rectify lamas. It was those two lamas who were deeply worried that women had been brought into the monastery.
