Tang Dizhihua

Li Yi returned and saw the noise of people in front of the temple gate from a distance, so he avoided it and went back to Di Mansion to take a nap.

Di Renjie took out a blueprint when the Queen was furious, explained the whole story, and showed that the assassin on the beam was not an assassin, but a rescuer. Against the will of the party.

When Di Renjie returned home at night, Li Yi reported to him where he was last night.

He forgot the conversation and battle with Wenzhong Wenzhong, and talked about the fact that he had been staring at the person in front of him, but he didn't know when he was dropped. Li Yuanfang smiled and said, that Shining spirit is proficient in ninjutsu, it's normal for you to lose it .

Speaking of Shining, Di Renjie took out the wooden sign that the person in Bairi handed him, but he didn't look at it carefully during the day, and the successive incidents made him forget about it for the time being, and he took it out to observe carefully until now.

He saw a ferocious giant snake engraved on one side of the wooden sign, and on the other side that he hadn't had time to look at, there were two seal characters engraved on it: Wen Zhong.

Di Renjie smiled and said to Li Yuanfang: "Come and see. This is given to me by Shining, and his name is on it."

Li Yuanfang looked at it for a long time, but only saw the word "Wen Zhong", but he didn't know his surname.

Di Renjie said, "His surname is Bi."

Li Yuanfang said: "What do you say?"

Di Renjie said: "Shining Ling's original surname is the same as yours."

"His surname is Li?"

"Not only that, he is also a descendant of the clan surnamed Li. Many years ago, after Emperor Gaozong's great success, today's saints quickly deposed the current crown prince, who had just ascended the throne, as Luling King. King Yu (Li Dan) came to the throne and called the imperial court to rule. This caused strong panic and dissatisfaction among the clan of the Li surname."

"Finally in the fourth year of Chuigong, Langya King Li Chong took the lead in raising the rebellion flag. Immediately afterwards, his father Yue King Li Zhen also launched a rebellion. Han Wang Yuanjia, Lu Wang Lingkui, Han Wang's son Huang Gong Li Zhuan and many other clans were also executed for the crime of rebellion. , the family members were exiled. The emperor ordered them to change the Li surname to 虺."

Li Yuanfang said: "Why do you want to be named Hui?"

Di Renjie said: "The scorpion is a kind of extremely poisonous giant python in the legend. The sage means that their hearts are like snakes and scorpions; and the sound of repentance means that they know their destiny and repent."

Li Yi stood in the corner and wrote down their conversation word by word. He probably understood why that person had such a hesitant expression when he said he didn't know anything that night.

While meditating, Li Yuanfang asked Di Renjie why he let Shining go away when he assassinated him this morning. Di Renjie smiled and said, are you interested in visiting Hanguang Temple again.

Di Renjie immediately looked at Li Yi who was silent all the time.

Li Yi suppressed his complicated thoughts and said to Di Renjie: "Sir, you are getting old, you should pay attention to your body. You haven't had a good rest for two days and one night."

Li Yuanfang was full of energy, and it was only at this time that she realized this, and quickly asked Di Renjie to rest.Di Renjie said it's okay, and insisted on visiting Hanguang Temple with Li Yuanfang again.

Li Yi said, "I won't go."

Di Renjie nodded: "Alright."

The night was getting darker.Within the palace walls, the queen learned of the intrusion of Hanguang Temple and the successive assassinations, which made it difficult for the queen to sleep. She secretly ordered Huang Shengyan, the leader of the inner guard Kunbu who was stationed in Shendu overnight, to do something for her. top secret.

In the early morning of the second day, Huan Bin came to the door to ask for an urgent matter.It is said that the governor of Luozhou received a report that the bodies of the officers and soldiers were found in Beiman Mountain, and after sending people to check, they discovered their identities as inner guards.

Di Renjie led the people out of the city immediately, rushed to the scene of the incident, confirmed that it was the work of the snake spirit, and found that the inner guard was on business late at night to escort a mysterious person to transfer, but he was rescued unexpectedly.

At the place where the body was found, Di Renjie felt that this was not the first scene of the murder.After observing the surrounding mountains, he successfully found an excellent ambush location, which is the real battlefield.

They found a strange picture on a nearby tree, with some regular boxes and numbers drawn on it, and they didn't know what it was.

Di Renjie was deeply puzzled.Combined with the major events that have happened in recent days, he feels that there must be something terrible hidden in Hanguang Temple, which will allow him to further understand the snake spirit.

Di Renjie concealed the information of the drawings and reported the situation of the on-site investigation to the Queen.But he found that the queen's expression was very strange, she seemed to be very scared, and she felt relieved that "it's finally here".

After a while, the empress told him not to check any more.Di Renjie left the palace with confusion, thinking about the identities of the people in Hanguang Temple and the prison car, he decided to visit Hanguang Temple again.

Early the next morning, Li Yi followed Di Renjie to the gate of Hanguang Temple, and suddenly his whole body trembled.

Di Renjie asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Li Yi shook his head, and whispered to Di Renjie: "I feel that many people are staring at us."

Di Renjie expressed his understanding, and Li Yi said, "I'm an inconvenience, so I won't go in with you."

Di Renjie nodded, but Li Yi didn't get out of the carriage, so he slightly opened the curtain to observe the main entrance of Hanguang Temple.Sure enough, he saw a few people whose eyes were not quite right, and their eyes were fixed on Di Renjie.

Di Renjie seemed to sense something along the way, and secretly signaled to Li Yuanfang and Ruyan.Li Yuanfang responded lightly, secretly heightening his vigilance.After they worshiped the Buddha, they went to see the abbot again, but the abbot hesitated and refused to say what he asked.But he told him vaguely that if he leaked the secret, the monks in the temple would have no way out.

Di Renjie had no choice but to give up asking the abbot about the road, and let the monk Jing Kong lead him to see the place where the fake monk lived at that time.He found a waist card of the inner guard, and deduced from this that the monks in this monk's room were all disguised as inner guards.

Moreover, under the bed board of this person, a picture of a small building was found.Di Renjie found this small building and followed the trend until he entered a mountainside and found a secret cell.

Not only were the blueprints of the sluice found in the cell, which confirmed that the people imprisoned in it were the ones rescued by the snake spirit, but also the corpses of the monks pretending to be inner guards.

Di Renjie pointed out that Jing Kong is the real head of the inner guard who imprisoned the mysterious man. When Qing Kong found out that the news had leaked, he quickly put them in the cell and escaped by himself.

But after a cup of tea, the mechanism of the cell door was opened again, and they saw a door with fire along the side of the mountain.When the three of them walked out of the mountainside, Di Renjie had already thought of something, calmly dismissed Li Yuanfang and Ruyan, and stayed in the hall alone.

Not to mention how the queen in the palace helplessly revealed the deepest secret hidden in her heart. The mysterious man rescued by the snake spirit has left Luoyang at this moment, and temporarily settled in Beimang Mountain.

Fei Wenzhong finally saw Yuan Tiangang again. It has been ten years since Yuan Tiangang was arrested and imprisoned.

Behind Yuan Tiangang are two sisters with the same appearance, one is smiling at Yan Yan, the other is stern, they are Xiaomei and Xiaofeng.

Fei Wenzhong looked up and saw Xiaomei, his expression remained unchanged, but the hands hidden behind his back were tightly clenched into fists.

Yuan Tiangang also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Zhong. He must have heard about Xiao Qingfang's plan, so he said to him at this moment: "Wen Zhong, I've really worked hard on you."

Wen Wenzhong smiled wryly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just lowered his head slightly: "I dare not. Wen Zhong didn't know beforehand."

Xiaomei choked for breath slightly.

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "It's okay."

Yuan Tiangang needs a good rest.That night, Wen Wenzhong and sisters Xiaomei and Xiaofeng kept watch for Yuan Tiangang.Fei Wenzhong changed into his normal clothes to conceal his identity, and sat in the yard with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

Xiaomei sat quietly beside him, and Wen Wenzhong remained motionless.

"Are you...still blaming me?"

Fei Wenzhong closed his eyes and said, "No."

"That's why you're still blaming me." Xiaomei said, "Xiao Qingfang's order was too hasty, so I had no choice but to come here first, and I didn't have time to inform you."

Fei Wenzhong opened his eyes and said, "But where is it in Luoyang?"

Xiaomei murmured and couldn't speak, only to hear Jin Wenzhong whisper: "You obviously have many opportunities, why didn't you tell me? Do you know... If Di Renjie didn't analyze that I am not an assassin, I would have already become Li Yuanfang The dead souls under the knife!"

In fact, he was not angry with Xiaomei for not reporting her knowledge, he was just angry with himself for being affectionate.At this moment, thinking of his dilemma on the beam, his heart aches like twists and turns. It turned out that it was just his self-indulgent sentimentality, so he wished to kill himself with a knife.

Xiaomei said: "Am I willing to betray you? The plan back then, I took refuge in Xiao Qingfang, and now the arrow is on the string, if not, Xiao Qingfang will doubt me!"

"...That's all." Jin Wenzhong turned his head away from looking at her.

Xiaomei suddenly felt palpitations and said, "You..."

"It's understandable that you place great importance on the miraculous." Xi Wenzhong lowered his head, "It's just that you're right," he quietly clenched his chest, where the heart is, "a killer is not qualified to talk about love."

"Wen Zhong!"

"Mister is still sleeping. I'll watch the night, you and Xiaofeng go to rest."

At dawn the next day, several people packed up properly, but under Yuan Tiangang's command, they did not go south to Liuzhou, but transferred to Chang'an.

Accompanying him was Lu Cheng, Yuan Tiangang's old servant.This man has followed Yuan Tiangang for many years and is also proficient in five elements and participated in the construction of the new main altar.At this time, after informing Xiao Qingfang, he came from Lingnan to join them and guide Yuan Tiangang the way.

Along the way, Yuan Tiangang observed the scene outside with great interest, and sighed: "The old man has not seen the sun for more than ten years."

Lu Chengdao: "It is not easy to come to the end of all hardships."

Yuan Tiangang said: "What's the point? Only when Luohe's magical plan is completed, can we stand in the sun with integrity."

Fei Wenzhong understood that Yuan Tiangang's words were not only for Lu Cheng, but also for a few of their confidants.

Under the guidance of Lu Cheng, the group turned a corner on the road, deviated from the main road of Chang'an, and turned southward.Entered a small town at night, rested there overnight, and set off again the next day.

Yuan Tiangang said: "How far is it?"

Lu Chengdao: "In less than twenty miles, there is Mount Zhongnan."

Fei Wenzhong was a little puzzled, but he and Xiaomei generally didn't ask aloud.

A group of people took the path to the mountain, and Yuan Tiangang suddenly sighed: "I haven't walked this road for decades, and it looks the same as it did back then."

He walked for a while and saw that the road didn't look deserted, so he smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.Fei Wenzhong raised his head and found a small, unremarkable courtyard hidden in the mountains, right in front of them at this moment.

It was Pei Jia who first discovered them.He smiled and said to the visitor: "Why is the old man knocking on the door?"

"Going into the mountains with the younger generation of the family, I accidentally lost my way, so I came here to ask for some food."

Pei Jia nodded, and opened the fence to let them in.Shangguan Yan came out of the pharmacy, still holding the pestle in his hand, when he heard the noise outside, he opened the door and asked, "Yizhi, is there a visitor?"

He suddenly turned his attention to the back of the old man who was guarded faintly, and the old man turned his head in due time. Shangguan Yan's pupils shrank suddenly, his breathing became short of breath, and when he let go, the medicine pestle fell to the ground.

Yuan Tiangang raised his head slowly, and when he saw him, a smile gradually formed on his wrinkled face.He said slowly:

"We haven't seen each other for almost 20 years...Junzhu."
