0295 Taoist temple in the mountains, hidden monsters in the mountains

An autumn rain and a cold, and the weather gradually cooled after the autumn rain. Walking at the foot of Huye Mountain, Xing Zhen and Dandelion felt hot. Not to mention the weak Ma Ruixue and the little beggar were already sweating profusely. Even the little puppies stuck out their tongues to relieve the heat.

Fortunately, the carriage was removed and only a flat panel was left. Ventilation could slightly relieve the heat. Ma Ruixue and the little beggar, who were getting more and more harmonious. They talked and laughed and distracted their spirits, and they would not be so hot that they could not bear it.

There will be demons when things are impermanent. Xing Zhen, who was sitting in front of driving the carriage, asked with his back to Ma Ruixue, "Is this happening all year round?"

Ma Ruixue was extremely familiar with this place and blurted out: "This place is an active volcano, rich in pyrophyllites. The temperature is hot all year round, but this year is much hotter than in previous years."

Worried that Xing Zhen and others would not believe it, Ma Ruixue added: "I have a fire stone business at home and I come here every year. I am very familiar with the temperature here, and this year will definitely be much hotter than in previous years."

Xing Zhen and Dandelion did not think about it carefully, and nodded one after another and said in unison: "Thank you for telling me."

Ma Ruixue felt a little embarrassed and whispered: "You two benefactors don't have to be so polite. You don't have to worry about such a small matter."

"Miss Ma doesn't have to always call her benefactor, I really can't stand it." Dandelion persuaded.

Then he said bluntly: "I like to record the customs and customs of various places. Can Miss Ma tell me more in detail?"

Without thinking, he immediately replied: "I didn't ask."

"The foot of Huye Mountain is Majing County. Although it is closer to the capital of Masu Country. Because the temperature here is dry and hot all year round, few people come here to visit."

"Only some workers who are responsible for collecting gallstones have been working here. They cannot be in this environment for a long time, otherwise they will have various conditions in their bodies."

"The workers who collect gallstones will change them every three months. It is because the temperature is hot and others don't like to come here, so we can sneak past here."

Xing Zhen said gratefully: "Miss Ma has been with him for the loss, which saves a lot of trouble. If it were someone else, he might have just hit the encirclement of the man in black."

Ma Ruixue lowered her head and wanted to speak again: "I am not my implicated benefactor."

"Also called benefactor!" Dandelion was very bitter and deeply hated, so he really didn't like the word benefactor.

Xing Zhen scratched his head and asked, "I heard that the gallstones were mined by the Mashou court. Could it be that Miss Ma is a member of the royal family?"

Once reminded, Dandelion also realized: "Yes, the royal family of Ma Shou Kingdom is also named Ma."

The gloomy light in Ma Ruixue's eyes flashed, and then changed his words: "To be honest, the two young masters, my family is indeed closely related to the royal family. There are some secrets, so it is inconvenient to tell the young master in detail. Please don't be surprised."

Xing Zhen and Dandelion neither like to force others to do things, and each has their own secrets. Since they are unwilling to say it, they will not be asking the bottom line.

Xing Zhen, the best in his eyes, suddenly asked: "Are the children and teenagers responsible for collecting gallstones?"

"How is it possible? It's very hard to collect gallstones, and you have to withstand the dry temperature here. The Royal Family of Mashou Kingdom has clear regulations, and men under the age of 20 are not allowed to come to work. Of course, those who have the conditions will be given a lot of rewards."

After hearing the answer, Xing Zhen became more and more confused and asked: "Will there be Taoist temples in this climate?"

Ma Shouxue was so questioned by Xing Zhen that she couldn't touch her head. She asked in confusion: "How could the young master have this question? There is no incense to build Taoist temples here, who would be willing to do such a stupid thing?"

Then, he continued a little sadly: "There is almost no Taoist priests in Mashou Kingdom that have expelled monks and Taoists. It is even more impossible for a Taoist temple to be located here."

Xing Zhen pointed his finger upwards to the mountainside: "There is a Taoist temple there, and there are children playing on the earthen wall."

Xing Zhen has excellent eyesight, and his soul has broadened its horizons with the two realms of divine cultivation. His eyesight is unthinkable to compare with ordinary people.

Even Dandelion, who is a warrior in the fourth realm, only vaguely saw a building. As for children and figures, he could not see clearly.

Not to mention that Ma Ruixue, who is just an ordinary person, can only see the standing immortal trees. He can't see the so-called Taoist temples and children clearly, and cannot answer in confusion.

Cactus trees are similar to cactus planted at home. They are covered with hard barbs and can store a lot of water, making them suitable for growing in dry and hot environments.

This kind of tree is extremely dangerous, and each barb is like a dagger. The Taoist temple is located in such an environment, which is even more strange than having children in Huye Mountain.

Dandelion believed that Xing really had the eyesight, and stopped the horse from moving forward, asking, "Do Xing really doubt there is a secret here?"

Xing Zhen nodded slowly, the facts were in front of him, and Dandelion didn't need to ask too much. Naturally, he had the same view as Xing Zhen.

Ma Ruixue was confused and didn't know what to do. The little beggar had no backbone, and everything was arranged by Xing Zhen.

Xing Zhen thought for a while: "I saw more than one child on the wall, at least six or seven. Since it felt strange, it would be okay to walk around."

He turned his head and asked apologetically: "Will Miss Ma's time be delayed?"

Ma Ruixue shook her head desperately without thinking: "Justice Xing acts with the rights and interests."

The group was not hesitating, and the carriages in the wilderness were not afraid of being sneaked away by others. Moreover, Ma Ruixue told that there were no wild animals here, so there was no need to worry about the old horse being eaten by wild animals.

Tie the carriage to the nearby cactus trees, and four people and one dog climbed the mountain slowly.

The cactus tree is equivalent to an enlarged version of a cactus. It is either killed or injured when stabbed by a barb.

But now, in the eyes of Xing Zhen and Dan Ling, they have become good covers. They hide behind the tall cactus tree without any slightest exposure.

After entering left and right, the group approached the Taoist temple very smoothly. As soon as they approached, Ma Ruixue was truly convinced. There was indeed a Taoist temple with the sounds of children crying and playing. She couldn't help but have deeper doubts and more curiosity.

He whispered and tentatively: "I want to see the Taoist temple."

Xing Zhen pressed his palm down and signaled to wait. He also whispered: "It looks like a Taoist temple outside, and there is no incense inside. The Taoist temple is probably just a cover-up, so he should not go in and watch it openly."

Ma Ruixue became even more confused and finally couldn't help asking: "Is Mr. Xing not only extraordinary eyesight but also unique in smell."

Xing Zhen giggled, didn't return directly, and said casually: "Believe me, there is no need to lie to you."

The secret of the puppy is hidden if you can hide it. There is no need to see who will tell who you are talking to. Even if you don’t reveal your money, it can be regarded as a trump card left in your hand.

Xing Zhen and others did not ask about Ma Ruixue’s secrets. Although Ma Ruixue had doubts, she could not deliberately ask about other people’s privacy.

Nodded and said, "I believe what Mr. Xing said, what are you going to do next?"

Xing Zhen looked at the puppy and said, "There are fewer people in the backyard, so let's go around and take a look."

Dandelion naturally knew that it was the puppy's credit, so he nodded immediately and agreed: "I agree."

Four people and one dog and five heads were poked out from the wall of the backyard of the Taoist temple. Now Ma Ruixue believes in serving the sentence from the bottom of his heart. As he said, the backyard is unattended. The group includes two ordinary people. With the help of Changran man and the sword-bearing boy, he easily climbed up to the wall of the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple courtyard is very large, with a main hall located in the middle, which is very small. The front and back yards are connected. The courtyard wall is high, and lying on the back wall, the scene in the Taoist temple courtyard is unobstructed.

It should be lunch time, and nearly a hundred children aged about ten are queuing for food. Perhaps it is because the hall is too hot and the autumn sun is no longer vicious. Eating in the yard is more comfortable and comfortable than in the house, so they line up in the yard.

All of these children were dressed in cheap linen, and almost all of them had patches on them, even exactly the same as the little beggar's dress when he begged.

Obviously, most of them come from poor families. Like little beggars, they make a living by asking for some food.

In the corner of the courtyard, there were about a dozen men lying in a circle, surrounding the children in the middle. Don’t think too much, they must be taking care of these children.

The men were wearing underwear, and they were as breathable as possible when they cracked their clothes. Each of them held a palm fan and kept inciting to enjoy the cool air. There was a piece of armor that was discarded at will around each person.

Xia Ran is a thick and airtight armor, which is even more stuffy when worn in this weather. When there are no enemies, there is no need to protect it. Fortunately, it is thrown on the ground and placed at will.

Armor can only be held by the imperial military and military, whether it is a large dynasty or a small country. Swords and sticks can be circulated among the people, but armor must not be allowed and must be strictly controlled.

Even if some forces can sneak up on armor, they will not take it out for no reason and put it on in broad daylight. Such behavior is like clearly facing the court.

What's more, the city county at the foot of Huye Mountain is Majing County, the capital of Mashou Kingdom. Those who possess armor must be the military military of the court.

Xing Zhen saw that Ma Ruixue had something to say, and this was the power of the Taoist temple. Speaking loudly could easily alarm the owner of this place, so he made a gesture to leave first.

Feeling that it is far enough away from the Taoist temple, Ma Ruixue couldn't wait to say: "The children here are the young masters selected by the Mashou Kingdom court recently, and for some reason they were concentrated here. The one who cares about these young masters should be the imperial guards of Mashou Kingdom."

When the little beggar heard this, he suddenly became extremely excited and jumped back. As a result, Xing Zhen was grabbed and asked, "What are you doing?"

The little beggar plucked up his courage and said, "I want to go to the palace to be my father-in-law. Now I am just staying with them. Just wait for the emperor to be summoned, so I don't have to go to Majing County."

Xing Zhen explained with a wry smile: "These children were brought here after they were selected in Majing County. You rushed in stupidly, no one paid attention to you."

The little beggar's face was full of disappointment, and sat down on the ground, his eyes were red and he was about to cry.

Ma Ruixue squatted down and comforted: "What Mr. Xing said is good. I am a person from Majing County and I know the high-ranking officials in the palace. Do you still believe what I said?"

Although Ma Ruixue is a young lady, she has various habits of young lady. However, she has no temper with Xing Zhen, Dandelion, as well as the little beggar.

He was very approachable and quickly won the recognition of the little beggar. The little guy nodded blankly: "Well. I'll listen to the little sister."

Ma Ruixue smiled: "I'm so good, get up."

Xing Zhen used a color, Dandelion said knowingly: "Please take the little beggar back to the carriage and watch him stop running. If you run to the Taoist temple secretly and get beaten up, it is really unfair."

Seeing that Ma Ruixue was a little confused, Dandelion continued, "Xing Zhen and I want to go into the Taoist temple to see. If there is a conflict, you will be in the way."

Ma Ruixue knew the severity of the matter, and all the Imperial Guards were warriors. He was also arrogant and had a bad temper. Sometimes he ignored the king's law by relying on his identity as the Imperial Guard. In this wilderness, he really couldn't stop him from killing people.

Then he didn't hesitate and immediately took the little beggar away.

When the two walked away, Xing Zhen smiled and said, "It's still Brother Pu's mind. I can't think of such a good way to send them away with such a dull head."

"Tsk, when did you learn to flatter?" Dandelion didn't take this trick and immediately exposed his shortcomings.

He continued: "If you have something to say, there are no outsiders, just say it if you want to."

Xing Zhen didn't mind Dandelion's exaggeration, and then smiled and looked at the puppy: "You'll find out, please tell me."
