Jiunan stood up, looked at Chen Chong deeply, and turned around and walked down the mountain.
She walked a few steps and stopped, and suddenly said, "Shaoxia Chen, offended."
Chen Chong nodded, knowing that she meant that she would not continue to sell.
With Jiunan's personality, since he said this, he should not continue to get entangled.
He smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess for your conscience. Chen believes in you."
Jiunan stopped talking and continued to walk down the mountain.
Seeing her figure disappearing, A Ke couldn't help but shout, "Master, are my parents dead?"
Jiunan slowed down and seemed to feel a little hesitant.
Perhaps the "master" played a role, she stopped after all, but did not look back.
"No."
After a pause, she continued, "If you are willing to kill Wu Sangui with me, I can tell you their whereabouts."
A Ke shook his head firmly, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "No need, I believe my parents, I definitely don't want me to do such a thing."
"That may not be."
Jiunan replied lightly, then disappeared into the night.
A breeze blew, and the fire under the trees swayed in the wind, and the flames slowly faded.
Looking at the two candles and a handful of bamboo fragrance in front of the fire, Chen Chong sighed and walked forward.
He pulled out the bamboo incense and threw it into the fire, and put the candle on the incense. As the temperature rose, the wax melted by heat and entangled with the bamboo incense.
With a light sound, the bamboo fragrance rose and the flames swept, swallowing all the combustible objects in the fire.
Looking at the burning flames, Chen Chong sighed in a low voice: "It is said that 'A general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies'. You are so angry that you will die. If you die, you will suffer the people of the world, and your disabled daughter..."
Seeing Chen Chong talking to himself under the tree, Jianning and A Ke looked at each other and shivered at the same time.
Could it be that he was possessed by evil spirits?
Thinking of this possibility, the two of them felt cold and hurriedly walked behind Chen Chong.
A Ke asked tentatively: "Brother Chen, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Chen Chong shook his head and waved his sleeves to sweep the ashes into the air. As if the air was dry today, if there was no rain, it would inevitably leave traces. If the Qing court knew that someone was worshiping here, I would be afraid that another round of injustice would arise.
Looking at the thick tree trunk in front of him, he walked forward in two steps and pulled the chains on it.
Jianning was startled and quickly grabbed the man's sleeve.
"Brother Chong, what are you going to do?"
The man held the iron chain in his hand and sneered: "To buy people's hearts, can he be worthy of the people of the world to buy a sinner to the altar?
No one asks about the king's guilt, and no fault of the ancient locust tree, and no fault of the ancient locust tree, and no fault of the people. What is the fault of the ancient locust tree? Chongzhen and Shunzhi are not in the world, so I am too lazy to care about the dead. Since I have arrived here today, I will first pull the iron shackles and let the ancient locust tree be honest."
After saying that, Chen Chong exerted force with his arms, and the thick iron chains rattled.
Amid the two girls' screams, the chain was pulled off with a crackling sound.
Chen Chong pulled off the iron chain on the tree and wanted to throw it into the forest, but subconsciously put it into his carry-on space.
He secretly praised himself for his thrift. He turned to the two girls and said, "Go on, girls, we should find a place to rest."
Jianning ran to him, grabbed the man's hand and said curiously: "Where are we going? Didn't we sneak out?"
Chen Chong hesitated and said, "This is a problem..."
Suddenly, he remembered a place where it was absolutely hidden and no one checked his identity.
So he smiled and said, "I thought of a place where I could have a good sleep if I could take a quick walk."
After walking two steps, he turned his head and looked at A Ke in surprise: "Girl, why are you still standing there?"
A Ke was slightly stunned and said in a panic: "You guys go by yourself, I, I still have something to do..."
"Jiu Nan has left, and you don't know where your parents are, what else can you do? The capital is so chaotic now. How dangerous is your family alone?"
Chen Chong said without any doubt: "Come here quickly, let's go together and take care of each other."
Jianning quietly pinched the man, then ran to A Ke, held her arm and said with a smile: "Sister A Ke, let's go together! Brother Chong and I will go to the south, and everyone will go on the road together, so that we won't be bored on the road, right?"
A Ke nodded and agreed in a daze. When he came to his senses, the man had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and had to acquiesce to their proposal.
After all, Jianning grew up in the Forbidden City and his familiarity with the imperial city was far more familiar with Chen Chong. Under the leadership of Jianning, the three of them left the city without any danger.
Afterwards, Chen Chong and his two girls walked all the way, and soon arrived at a Zhenwu Temple.
"Zhenwu Temple?"
Looking at the building in front of him, Jianning said in surprise: "Will we sleep here tonight?"
Chen Chong smiled mysteriously and walked up to knock on the door according to the secret code. After a moment, an old voice came from behind the back door: "Who is knocking on the door? It's so late, I wonder what's the price to do here?"
Chen Chong knew that the other party was at the bottom of the board, and immediately replied in accordance with the code of Tiandihui under the sea.
"Xiao Ke's surname is Chen, a man from the Central Plains, is twenty-three years old this year. I recently walked by the word "Meng" and passed by Gui Temple to burn a few sticks of incense."
The old voice asked again, "I wonder how many incense sticks of guests have brought?"
Chen Chong replied: "I brought five and a half sticks of incense sticks."
"Others only burn three incense sticks when they enter the house, why do customers bring so many?" the old man said in a strange voice: "I wonder which gods are there to worship?"
"I don't worship gods."
Chen Chong said: "The first note to worship father, the second note to mother, the third note to brother, the fourth note to sister-in-law, the fifth note to five friends..."
The man immediately asked, "Where is the remaining half of the stick?"
Chen Chong said: "Half a stick is left, I will leave it to the sworn brothers."
"Why should the guests be left to the righteous brother?" the man asked again.
Chen Chong said, "My friend has glaucoma. After burning this half of the incense stick, I hope he will go to clear the light and restore the bright future and see the sun, moon, rivers and mountains again."
After he said this, the door was quiet for a long time. Chen Chong was worried and did not know if the cross-examination was over.
After a while, the old voice came again: "Young man open the door now. Please dust the soil on your feet first. You are old, and it is not easy to sweep the temple."
There are actually traps?
This old man was really careful.
After a smile, Chen Chong said with a smile: "Old man, the young student came by the water. Where did the soil come from his shoes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open. An old dizzy doorman poked his head out and whispered with a lantern, "Come in, guest!"
After the old man's cross-examination, Chen Chong was not ready to enter the door. He inserted his hand into the crack of the door and asked back: "Old man, don't you know if the temple blessing is here? Who is the host of the current host?"
The old man smiled: "I'm not hiding the distinguished guests, I wish you a happy family in the temple. I have already returned to the south. Now there is only one old man left in the temple."
Hearing this, Chen Chong was shocked.
People from the Tiandihui don’t even want the headquarters?
