The abbot led them to an inconspicuous thatched hut, and opened the wardrobe. Inside was an iron plate. He knocked three times, and there was movement below.

"Abbot?"

The iron plate was slowly opened, and a shiny "marinated egg" emerged. It was a monk with many pimples on his face.

"You little dolls, come out quickly! You don't know to call me when something happens, you just know to hide in the secret room? Look at the good deeds you have done, my main hall is about to be destroyed!"

Acne looked forced, "Ah? What's the matter with the main hall?"

"Hmph!" the abbot pulled him up angrily, and yelled at a group of brats below who hadn't figured out the situation, "Hurry up! Come up soon! Everyone, bring me water to put out the fire. If my main hall I can’t be rescued! I just... I just ran away from home! You don’t have an abbot anymore!”

Yuan Dong almost burst out laughing when he heard the abbot's roar.

But seeing the tense expressions and quick movements of those braised eggs, I figured that the abbot must have run away from home before.

Unexpectedly, the first treasure of this temple is actually the abbot...

With the help of all the monks, the fire in the main hall was finally extinguished at dawn.Unfortunately, almost all the interior decoration of the front half of the main hall was burned, leaving only a little outer layer of the main building.Fortunately, different building materials were used in the back of the main hall, and many scriptures and silks preserved in the back were spared.

The morning sun was warm and bright, illuminating the faces of every disheartened person.

Yuan Dong looked at the ashes on Xiao Muqing's face, then touched the burnt wood next to him maliciously, and plucked two beards on him while he was not paying attention.

"Hahaha, little cat!"

Xiao Muqing was not wary of Yuan Dong, and was suddenly succeeded by the other party, and she didn't react in a daze.But seeing Yuan Dong laughing at him happily, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled innocently like a real child.

"Hmph, don't run away!"

Xiao Muqing held Yuan Dong to prevent him from escaping, and also touched a handful of ashes from the side, and quickly wiped it on Yuan Dong's face.

It's a pity that little Muqing has short legs, and the whole body reaches Yuan Dong's chest. It's not easy to reach Yuan Dong's face easily, which gives Yuan Dong a chance to dodge.

"Oh, I was wrong! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Yuan Dong deliberately asked Xiao Muqing to draw two stripes on his face. Seeing that the other party wanted to draw, he immediately quit and leaned back.Little Muqing also played crazy, and directly pressed up to his face.

Seeing Yuan Dong leaning back and almost falling, a warm body came up from behind.

"Eh?"

Yuan Dong didn't expect that there were people behind him, so he turned around in a daze.

It was Ji Yuan who disappeared overnight.

"It's you, where did you go last night? We didn't see you, and we were worried that you would be captured by missionaries!" Yuan Dong straightened little Muqing upright, and was successfully attacked by little Muqing!

"Ouch! My face!" Yuan Dong pretended to be angry.

Xiao Muqing held her belly and laughed happily, "Hahaha!"

Ji Yuan supported Yuan Dong who had already diverted his attention, turned the man to himself, stared into his eyes and said, "I was indeed captured by the missionary, but I designed and wounded him on the way, so I was able to escape." Escape and come back to see you."

"Look at me?" Yuan Dong was puzzled.

"Um……"

Ji Yuan nodded, and was about to speak affectionately, but Xiao Muqing took Yuan Dong's hand and interrupted him loudly.

"You must be tired after a busy night. If you get hurt, go back and apply some medicine. We were exhausted last night, so let's go back and rest!" Xiao Muqing dragged Yuan Dong away as she spoke.

When Yuan Dong saw the bruises under Xiao Muqing's eyes, his heart ached so badly, he didn't care what Ji Yuan wanted to say to him.

"Yeah, Ji Yuan, go back first. Mu Qing and I are going back to rest too. You must be tired after a busy night! Let's talk about it after we wake up in the afternoon!" Before he finished speaking, he Being dragged forward by Xiao Muqing, she could only raise her voice and turn her head to say goodbye to Ji Yuan.

Yuan Dong, who had gone away, did not receive any response from Ji Yuan, and naturally he did not notice the suffocating dark aura emanating from Ji Yuan's body with his head down.

Ji Yuan, with crazy eyes, smiled half-heartedly, pulling the corners of his mouth slightly.

"It really is you... Really, you still don't care about me like this!" His voice was very low, full of coldness, completely different from the tone of Ji Yuan before.

Yuan Dong fell asleep soundly until the night.

"Wake up, get up and eat something." Xiao Muqing sat at the table, with two bowls of porridge and a plate of steamed buns in front of him.

Yuan Dong rubbed his eyes and sat up, "It's getting dark, what time is it?"

"It's almost Hai hour."

"Oh, then I slept for a really long time." Seeing two bowls of porridge on the table, Yuan Dong couldn't help wondering, "Didn't you eat it before? You've been waiting for me since you woke up?"

Little Muqing's face looked reddish under the kerosene, "I didn't wait long, and it was too late when I woke up. Come and eat, I just went out and let the little monk heat it up, and it's still warm now." .”

"Ah."

The food in the temple is hard, and the porridge and steamed buns are just coping with it. Yuan Dong feels that his whole body is not good. He really wants to eat meat!

Facing the boring food, Yuan Dong had no choice but to divert his attention. He thought of the missionary and Ji Yuan, and felt something was wrong...

"By the way, have you seen Ji Yuan?"

"No." Xiao Muqing was a little unhappy.

Yuan Dong put down the bowl and chopsticks, "No, I have to go to Ji Yuan to ask. I think that missionary is too weird, and this attack on the villagers may have something to do with him."

"You finish your meal first, and I'll accompany you later." Xiao Muqing held him back.

Yuan Dong had no resistance against the miniature version of Mu Qing, "Okay, okay."

As a result, by the time they dawdled and set off to find Ji Yuan, it was already past Haishi.

The kerosene lamp in Jiyuan's room was still on.

Yuan Dong knocked on the door, "Ji Yuan, I'm Yuan Dong, can I come in?"

"squeak"

Ji Yuan came over to open the door himself.

"Huh? There are still people here!" Yuan Dong saw a fat figure under the dim kerosene lamp.

"Well, the abbot is here with me."

Yuan Dong thought about the main hall, and wanted to avoid the abbot a little bit, "Well...then I'll come to you tomorrow."

"No need..." Just as Ji Yuan wanted to persuade him to stay, the abbot's voice came from behind him.

"Is it the little benefactor? Come in quickly, the night dew is heavy, come in and sit down, I happen to have something to ask you." The abbot greeted him from inside.

Yuan Dong had no choice but to smile awkwardly, "Hey, let me bother you then."

"Little benefactor is so late, what can you do to find Ji Yuan?" The abbot poured Yuan Dong a cup of tea, and seeing Xiao Muqing standing at the door, immediately called him over, "Little benefactor, you also come in ah!"

"Ah... To be honest, I came to ask Ji Yuan about a missionary. He set fire to the main hall before. Hehe, although we didn't set the fire, we brought people in after all. Responsibility for non-disclosure..." Yuan Dong scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

The abbot nodded, "Oh, it's him, Ji Yuan told me just now. Sit down, let me tell you, this tea is not the same as the tea in your room. I brought it here specially. Sit down and savor."

The abbot shook the tea pot in his hand, and winked mischievously at Yuan Dong and the others.

"Thank you, abbot, but we don't know how to taste tea, and we have no research on tea." Yuan Dong pulled Mu Qing to sit down at the table.

"It's okay, it's okay, tea, the intention is in the tea environment, even a three-year-old who doesn't know anything, as long as he has fun, it is still a wonderful thing. On the contrary, even a master who has tasted tea for many years, if the intention is not here , I’m afraid it’s also hard to get interesting.”

Ji Yuan sat down and said, "The abbot has a lot of research on tea."

"Yeah, it's good"

Yuan Dong took a sip of the tea, but he couldn't really taste anything special, except that it tasted a little bit bitter, not as good as ordinary barley tea.But seeing that everyone else looked intoxicated, he could only pretend to be aggressive without changing his face.

"By the way, you want to ask the missionary?"

Ji Yuan was funny that the other party still didn't know how to drink tea, but he still let Yuan Dong step down.

"Oh! Hmm! Yes!" Yuan Dong couldn't wait to put down his teacup, "I want to ask you if you have any clues from the missionary. I always think he is weird, and it may have something to do with this villager attack."

Ji Yuan made a regretful look, "I'm sorry, I was attacked from behind by him at that time, and I passed out immediately, and when I woke up, I was lying on the donkey cart. It turned out that he was going to transport me to Go up the cliff. When he got out of the car, I had already pushed him into the cliff by surprise."

"Excellent, excellent." The abbot shook his head and began to recite the mantra of passing away.

When Yuan Dong heard that the missionary had been pushed into the cliff, he felt distressed. The missionary must have lost his body, but there are still some clues on him... Could the other party have something to do with this villager attack? ?Is it even related to the formation of the Seven Deadly Sins in the future?

"Why did he abduct you, insist on throwing you off the cliff, why didn't he kill you on the spot?" Xiao Muqing grasped the point, "And he has drugs that can make you unconscious, and he is so tall and strong , you succeeded in sneaking so easily?"

Yuan Dong was taken aback, that's right...

"I don't know why he didn't kill me on the spot." Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, with a helpless look, "Of course he is so strong, I can't win with one blow, but luckily I usually study hard and practice hard. Practice martial arts. Facing such a foreigner, he will not be at a disadvantage, but only suffered some minor injuries."

Ji Yuan lifted his robe, revealing the wound on his arm.

"Ah, it hurts so badly!"

Yuan Dong was a little surprised, the opponent's hand was cut a big gash, although the medicine had already been applied, but the hideous wound was almost visible to the bone, and it was very painful at first sight.

Ji Yuan shook his head, "No problem, just a small injury."

It seemed that the clue of the missionary had been cut off, and Yuan Dong had no intention of talking about it, so he bid farewell after a while, and left with Xiao Muqing in a melancholy mood.

The abbot grabbed the tea pot and said goodbye.

In the deserted room again, Ji Yuan's face appeared obscure under the dim light.He licked his lips, picked up Yuan Dong's cup of tea that was completely cold after only one sip, and drank it down on Yuan Dong's lips.

"Ha ha……"

A sneer that was completely different from Ji Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
