Among the three forces competing for letters, Li Zhen was the weakest, he was alone, Lai Junchen had the greatest power, with more than a hundred people coming.

But when entering the backyard where the Sutra Pavilion is located, there were only five people. Lai Junchen and Yu Pinlong each brought one subordinate, both of whom were afraid of disturbing Lan Zhenyu in the building.

Li Zhen ran all the way. Seeing that he was about to reach the entrance of the attic, Zhao Yin, the subordinate of Lai Junchen, suddenly rushed over from a diagonally, shouted loudly, stabbed Li Zhen with a sword. Li Zhen was forced to stop. He took a step back and avoided the sword. He was extremely angry and scolded: "Are you crazy? Will alarm the people inside."

Zhao Yin ignored him and stabbed several swords, forcing Li Zhen backwards. Li Zhen had no choice but to draw his sword and stab him back.

Li Zhen was intercepted by Zhao Yin, and Lai Junchen and Yu Pinlong rushed into the Sutra Library one by one. Another subordinate of Yu Pinlong also rushed into the attic. The three of them rushed into the Sutra Library, fighting and running, hovering up the stairs, and dust fell down.

At this moment, a blue figure suddenly flew out from the window on the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion. Dozens of people running into the backyard saw it at the same time and shouted, "Come out!"

The man in blue curled up in a ball, his hair was loose, his face turned black, and his face was hideous and terrifying. Although his figure was extremely agile, what made everyone exclaim was that the man in blue was actually flying in the sky and flew out of the gable like a gust of wind.

Lai Junchen had stabbed Yu Pinlong's men to death, kicked Yu Pinlong over again, knocked him open the door with his shoulder, and rushed into the room first.

I saw a large incense burner in the room, and there was a pool of black blood under the incense burner. It was the poisonous blood that Lan Zhenyu vomited, and there were a few pieces of oxen. The windows were wide open and the person was gone.

Lai Junchen stomped his feet in hatred and rushed to the window, but suddenly found a thin iron wire tied to the foot of the incense burner, and the other end extended out of the window and into the dense forest of the back mountain. The blue figure used this thin iron wire to slide out of the gables of the temple.

Lai Junchen immediately made a decision and cut off the thin iron wire with one sword, but it was too late. The man in blue jumped up to the gable and jumped into the dense forest behind the wall.

Lai Junchen was furious and shouted at his subordinates under the Sutra Pavilion: "Go and chase him immediately, don't let him run away!"

The situation was critical, and Lai Junchen had no time to take the stairs. He jumped out of the window, ran a few steps on the glazed tiles, and then jumped to the eaves on the second floor. The fish dragon behind him had no ability, so he had to run down the stairs again.

Li Zhen also chased out of the temple and ran in the dense forest. There were not many people ambushing behind the temple, because there was a cliff not far behind, and there was no way to go.

Lai Junchen and Yu Junlong's other subordinates also rushed from the east and west sides. More than 100 people searched in the mountains and forests in an radius of more than ten acres. At this time, someone found footprints and shouted: "Run to this side!"

Everyone ran up the mountain along their footprints, but after less than a hundred steps, everyone was so scared that they stopped, with a cliff ahead.

Although the cliffs are covered with plants, the slope is extremely steep, and there are surging rivers below. Although Longmen Yique is known as a cliff of 100 feet, it is actually not high, at most more than 30 feet. You can clearly see the Yishui at the foot of the mountain.

"Look!"

A guard pointed to a ragged blue dress not far from the mountainside and shouted: "That's his clothes!"

At this time, Lai Junchen rushed over, and he was so angry that he was almost crazy. Seeing that Lan Zhenyu was about to be caught, he ran away again. The guard pointed to Lan Yi hanging on the bush and said, "Zhongcheng, that's his clothes!"

Lai Junchen stared at Lan Yi for a while, and ordered, "Catch it up!"

Several guards held hands, finally hooked the clothes with flying chain claws and dragged them up. Lai Junchen picked up the blue shirt that was ragged by the branches, and there was a pool of black blood stains on it. He smelled it again, and there was a smell of beef yellow.

At this time, Lai Junchen looked at both sides again and asked, "Where is that Li Zhen?"

A subordinate came forward to report: "I saw him and Yu Pinlong here just now. It seemed that both of them had gone down the mountain. Zhao Yin was still staring at him and following him down the mountain."

Lai Junchen was so angry that his eyes turned black. He threw Lanshan to the ground hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Go down the mountain to search, you will see people when you are alive, and you will see corpses when you are dead!"

...........

Lai Junchen and Yu Pinlong men searched for Lan Zhenyu's body by the river, while Li Zhen got rid of Zhao Yin's tracking in the temple and left Longmen Mountain from another path.

He and Di Yan's horses were stored in an inn. He picked up the horses and waited for a while at the entrance. Di Yan came out of the deep alley next to her. She had torn off her wig and mask, took off her men's shirt, and wore a purple skirt.

"How long have you been waiting for me?" Di Yan jumped forward and punched him gently on the shoulder, and asked with a smile.

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I just arrived, and I was afraid that you would be caught by them."

Di Yan blinked mischievously and said, "Unless they really think I am the sick Lan Zhenyu, do you think they can catch me with my skills?"

Li Zhen was not worried. They had made careful arrangements before and took into account every detail. Even if Lai Junchen was suspicious, it would be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At that time, Lan Zhenyu had already died of poison.

"They are still searching for Lan Zhenyu's body along the river. Let's go!"

The two of them turned over and rushed into the city...

Pure Land Temple is located in Luoyang City. It is a royal temple in the Sui Dynasty and the earliest place for monks Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty to become a monk. It is currently one of the three major temples in Luoyang, with more than 2,000 monks.

Xuanzang Pavilion is located next to Guanyin Hall in the temple. It is a small courtyard. It is preserved in memory of Master Xuanzang. It is generally not open to the public and the gate is closed most of the time.

When Li Zhen and Di Yan arrived at Xuanzang Pavilion, Di Renjie had just left, and only the wine book that accompanied him was still guarding the yard.

The yard is very small, with moss on the ground covered with moss, covered with a layer of withered and yellow fallen trees. Two crows stood on a century-old apricot tree at the corner of the yard, making harsh screams from time to time.

Jiuzhi sat on a stone pier beside the wall, fiddling with two flying knives in his hand, looking at a group of sparrows in the yard without any hesitation.

Di Yan quickly walked into the yard, and the sparrows for food flew up. She was anxious and worried that her father would have any accidents. Lan Zhenyu was an extremely dangerous person, cruel and ruthless, and had terrible poisons. Everyone was extremely alert to him.

"Jiuzhi, where is my father?"

Jiuzhi looked up at her, and the lazy spirit said: "Your old man has left, and you have talked with Lan Zhenyu for less than a stick of incense."

"Where is Lan Zhenyu?" Li Zhen, who then walked into the yard, asked again.

Jiuzhi pointed to Xuanzang Pavilion, "On the third floor, you can go and see it yourself! It's dead."

Li Zhen quickly walked towards the attic gate. As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered an important thing and stopped and asked, "Where is that letter? Did the Di Xiangguo get it?"

Jiuzhi shook his head and sighed, "The old man burned it."

Li Zhen and Di Yan were both stunned, "Why?"

"You ask me, and I ask who I will go. I'm more surprised than you. The old man's face was so serious when he burned the letter! I guess Lan Zhenyu was scared to death by him in the end."

Li Zhen and Di Yan looked at each other, and neither of them understood. The letter was the key evidence to cleanse the old man's grievances, and he actually burned the letter.

But the letter had been burned and they had no choice but to walk into the attic. The doors of the attic were locked, and only the stairs close to the door could go up.

The stairs were old and covered with dust. They made a harsh creaking sound as if they were about to collapse.

Li Zhen walked to the third floor, half-closed the small door, and opened it. There was a person lying in the empty room, which was the dead Lan Zhenyu.

His body was curled up into a small ball, his face was pitch black, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to die peacefully. He held his sword in his arms. In a small stove beside him, there was a burnt letter. Although it had turned into black charcoal, it still retained the letter as it was.

Li Zhen sighed. In Dunhuang, Gaochang, Hexi Road, and Chang'an, he fought with Lan Zhenyu all the way. Such a person with excellent swordsmanship and outstanding martial arts disappeared silently.

The person who is best at poison died on poison, which makes people feel the irony of fate.

"Brother Li, are you planning to bury him?" Di Yan asked a little sadly from the side.

Li Zhen shook his head gently, "I need him to settle a hidden danger for me."

.........

The sky was not completely dark, and there was still a hint of blue light in the night. Li Zhen appeared in front of the gate of Linzhi Temple near the imperial city, carrying a wooden box.

Linzhi Temple has been occupied by Hanoi Lao Ni and her female disciples, and has not received funding from the court, so his tens of thousands of believers have to leave Luoyang temporarily.

The open space in front of the temple was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items. The large amount of items they brought had not been packed yet. Several female nuns were playing and playing. Suddenly, they immediately became alert when they saw Li Zhen approaching.

"This is already a nunnery, and men should not enter!" Several young nuns blocked his way with fierce attitude.

"There is a palace man waiting for me in the temple!" Li Zhen said in a plain tone.

Several nuns looked at each other, and one of them asked, "You are Mr. Li."

Li Zhen nodded, "I am!"

"You follow me!"

A nun took him into the side door of the temple and came to a small courtyard where two palace guards were guarding him, drawing his sword to stop him, and looking at him vigilantly.

Just then, a handsome young man walked out of the room and saw Li Zhen at a glance. He quickly turned around and shouted, "A Gu, he is here!"

"Let him come in!" The voice of a young woman came from the room.

"Young Master, please come into the house!" The young man took Li Zhen into the room. It turned out to be a monk's room. All the monks moved away. The room was empty and there were no items, and it was cleaned very clean.

Standing in front of the window was a young woman wearing a veiled hat and a white palace dress. When Li Zhen walked into the room, the young woman immediately turned around, lifted the veil on her face, revealing a beautiful face. The young woman was Wei Tuaner.

Although Wei Tuaner did not wear makeup or wear any jewelry today, she seemed to be born with beauty, but she left a vulgar impression on Li Zhen last time, which made Li Zhen have no favoritism towards her.

Wei Tuaner looked at Li Zhen and asked lightly: "Have you brought the things?"

Li Zhen put the wooden box on the ground and put Lan Zhenyu's sword next to him, "The box is his head. The letter has been burned by him, and the letter ashes are also in the box, and his sword."

Wei Tuaner gently patted his palm, and a guard walked in quickly and gave a tribute to Wei Tuaner. Wei Tuaner pointed to the box and said, "You can check it out!"

The guard squatted down in front of the box and slowly opened the wooden box. He frowned, looked carefully for a moment, nodded and said to Wei Tuaner: "You browse, this is the person!"

"You guys go down!"

The handsome young man and the guard both bowed and retreated, and only Wei Tuaner and Li Zhen were left in the room. Wei Tuaner slowly circled around Li Zhen, looked him up and down, and his face was as bright as peach blossoms.

"You are really capable, much more capable than the smelly skin of Yupinlong. I like it very much. It's time for me to fulfill my promise. Mr. Li, tell me! What do you want?"

Li Zhen pointed to the box, "I want this box, and Lai Junchen probably has to explain."

"Lai Junchen is just a dog, why should he do!"

Wei Tuaner curled her lips disdainfully, raised her eyebrows gently and chuckled to Li Zhen: "If you are willing to be loyal to me, I think, maybe you can replace Yupinlong, what do you think?"

Li Zhen smiled and shook his head, "Miss Wei, you have to discuss this with Gao Fujun. I will ask Gao Lishi to deliver a letter to you, and I think you will understand."

Wei Tuaner was stunned at first, and her face slowly became gloomy. She looked at Li Zhen coldly for a while before waved her hand and said, "You go!"

Li Zhen bowed with his fists, picked up the box and long sword, "I'm going to say goodbye!"

He slowly withdrew from the room, and Wei Tuan'er just watched him leave coldly, and from beginning to end, he didn't say a word.

.........

In the night, Li Zhen and Di Yan walked slowly in Anye with their horses in the direction of the night. Di Yan sighed and said, "I asked my father today why he wanted to burn the letter. My father just smiled and didn't answer. He said you understand, do you understand?"
