Su Chen was shocked when he looked at the green brick courtyard wall covered with moss and an ancient atmosphere of Hanshan Taoist Temple.

When he was still very young, he often heard fishermen in Zhouzhuang mention Hanshan Taoist Temple and knew that Hanshan Taoist Temple was a solemn and holy place.

The master Hanshan Zhenren has a lofty prestige in the minds of the people of Wujun, and is the best man outside the world.

Not to mention the common people, even if the officials from Gusu are prominent, or even the county magistrate wants to see Hanshan Zhenren, they have to respectfully visit the Taoist temple.

Later, Su Chen joined the Medicine King Gang and became a disciple of the martial arts world, and he had a deeper understanding of Hanshan's real influence in the Wujun world.

Hanshan Zhenren is one of the seven masters recognized by Wujun in the martial arts world, ranking first.

The five major gangs in Wujun, the Giant Whale Gang, the Tianying Gang, the Medicine King Gang, the Iron Sword Gang, and the Horse Gang. Although their gang leaders are all masters of the Grandmaster realm, they are not as good as the Hanshan Real Person.

However, Hanshan Taoist Temple is a place where Taoism is practiced outside the world. Taoists eat incense from the people of Wujun. They rarely get involved in the interests of gangs in the martial arts world for territory. They are floating above the martial arts world. They can be said to be a place where they are uncontested and deeply respected by people in the martial arts world.

The master of the temple, Hanshan Zhenren, is not often in the Hanshan Taoist Temple. It is rumored that he likes to make friends with experts from all walks of life and often travels away. The dragon sees its head but not its tail.

In Hanshan Temple, he is the five personal disciples of the Hanshan Zhenren, Taoist Priest Qinghe and others, as well as many young Taoist priests. Many of them are top experts in the first and second-rate realms.

Su Chen couldn't help but feel confused.

This Ding Shisan is just a second-rate leader of the Giant Whale Gang. How could he sneak into the Hanshan Taoist temple with many masters?

"This Hanshan Taoist Temple is a holy land of Wujun. Even if it is the strongest five gangs in Wujun, they dare not violate it at all. The leader of the water bandit dares to hide here. He is really not afraid of death!"

Su Chen secretly said, staying outside the Hanshan Taoist Temple for a while, and decided to follow in and take a look, then he climbed over the wall and sneaked into the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

...

The Hanshan Taoist temple is quite large and the courtyard is deep.

During the day, there are many believers and pilgrims coming in and out of Hanshan Taoist Temple, which is smoky and quite lively.

The front yard is a majestic treasure hall, the courtyard is filled with flying eaves and corners, the Daoyi Calligraphy and Painting Garden, the hexagonal double-eaved bell tower, and the ancient style poetry stele corridors.

The backyard is where Taoist priests live. Few people walk around, and they look quiet and empty.

Su Chen sniffed the faint smell of fishy thorns in the air and sneaked to the backyard where the Taoist priests lived in Hanshan Taoist Temple, near a wing room in a separate courtyard.

Su Chen sneaked to the corner of the wing room and soon heard the vague conversation between the water bandit Ding Shisan and a middle-aged man in the wing room.

"Ding Shisan, who asked you to come to the Taoist temple? Leave immediately! Fortunately, Master is not here, otherwise he would have taken your life to see you appear in the Taoist temple."

The middle-aged Taoist priest's tone was low and stern, and he was even a little angry and embarrassed.

The water bandits of the Giant Whale Gang have always been strongly surrounded by officials from various counties in Wu County, and famous water bandits have posted portraits at the city gate to be wanted.

If the leader of the water bandits enters and leaves the Hanshan Taoist Temple in private and is discovered, it will definitely cause great trouble to the Taoist Temple.

"I knew that the Immortal Lord was not here, so I dared to sneak in. If the Immortal Lord was here, who would dare to appear so boldly under his nose?"

Ding Shisan was so naughty that he refused to leave and shouted: "However, Master Qinghe Dao, you gave me the information about the Li family cargo ship. He said that he could make a fortune. I took more than ten brothers to rob the ship. But the idea was too terrible. There was actually a top-notch master of the Medicine King Gang hidden on the ship!

You have cheated me up. Now I have suffered a big defeat and lost more than ten brothers under my command. I have lost such a huge loss but I haven't gotten the money. How can you ask me to go back to the gang to pay the master above? You have to give me an explanation for this matter, don't think of sending me away in one sentence!"

"Hmph, then Li is the big fat sheep that I have raised for several years. It is cheap for you to sell it to you. Before you take action, you don't carefully investigate the situation on the cargo ship and run into the master of the Medicine King Gang, and you still blame the fat sheep for being too stubborn?!"

Director Qinghe slapped the table suddenly, pointed at Ding Shisan with a slut, and shook his anger, scolding Ding Shisan with a bloody spurt.

The information provided by him was the information that the bandit leader Ding Shisan robbed the wealthy merchant of Li.

The ships in the Gusu River frequently traveled, but not all ships, and the bandits dared to attack.

The fishing boats and small sampans in various counties in Wujun have already paid a weighing fee of one or two taels to the Giant Whale Gang, which is a stable source of wealth every month. Naturally, the bandits of the Giant Whale Gang will not rob them again.

And those large merchant cargo ships that travel from south to north seem to be quite "fat", often hide first-class mates and escort valuable goods with the ship.

Especially the cargo ships of the four major gangs in Wujun are even more pissed, with masters from various gangs escorted.

The water bandits licked blood from the knife and accidentally bumped into a merchant ship protected by top-notch masters. That was a big blessing, and it was ordinary to destroy it.

Therefore, if the bandits want to rob a wealthy sheep on the river and make a fortune smoothly, they must have very accurate information in advance, including the personnel on the ship and the whereabouts of the cargo ship, otherwise they will often go empty and make a waste of time.

There are many believers in Hanshan Taoist Temple. There are often wealthy merchants from Gusu City who come to worship before going out, begging for peace in and out.

As the director of Hanshan Taoist Temple, Director Qinghe often deals with wealthy merchants. Naturally, he has extremely well-informed information and is aware of the financial resources of these believers.

But he didn't want to do it himself, so he colluded with the water bandits and conspired to make a fortune together.

This wealthy Li family businessman runs many rice shops in Gusu County and is a wealthy rich family.

A few years ago, Director Qinghe used the senior relationship of the Medicine King Gang to introduce Li's daughter to the Medicine King Gang to be an inner disciple, and the carp leaped over the Dragon Gang. From then on, the Li and his wife were extremely convinced by him.

The rich businessman of Li often came to the Taoist temple to incense. Every time he went out, he came to the Taoist temple to burn incense and pray for peace, and even nagged Taoist Principal Qinghe for a few words.

Director Qinghe thought that the sheep Li had been raising it for several years and could slaughter tens of thousands of taels of silver. He sold the news of Li's cargo ship's trip to Ding Shisan, the young leader of the water bandit, and asked him to take the water bandits to rob the road halfway.

Principal Qinghe wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but he and Ding Shisan were both dirty, and he was 80% Ding Shisan. Ding Shisan was a small leader of the water bandits, and he had less appetite.

But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Ding Shisan and a group of water bandits robbed the rich merchants of Li's family. They accidentally ran into the master of the Medicine King Gang and failed.

This made Principal Qinghe very disappointed. Although Ding Shisan lost more than a dozen water bandits' subordinates, he also lost thousands of taels of silver in vain.

Then the rich businessman from Li's family will definitely be much more alert when he was robbed this time, and he may even have some doubts about where he was leaking his whereabouts, and it will be difficult to attack again in the short term.

It is not convenient to move this fat sheep for at least a few years.

"This idiot Ding Shisan must have made excuses for himself, so he deliberately refused to meet a first-class expert from the Medicine King Gang. If he really met a first-class expert, he would have been cut into eight pieces and went down to the river to feed the fish."

Principal Qinghe was extremely annoyed.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he sniffed carefully, as if he could smell a strange and stimulating smell on Ding Shisan.

"Idiot, you have been tracked herbs on you. You have been in the world for more than ten years and are so careless! A first-class expert is keen to perceptually. If you are tracked to the Taoist temple, wouldn't it affect my Taoist temple!"

Director Qinghe couldn't help but be furious and cursed.

Ding Shisan was scolded by the slap, feeling aggrieved. He was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but sniffing carefully and smelling a smell of water plants.

"Dao Ye, don't worry. The smell of Shuitus Cornus is just that. If you go into the water frequently, you can't get a little smell of water. Besides, even if a first-class expert follows you, you don't have the courage to play wild in Hanshan Taoist Temple."

Ding Shisan didn't care.

He often hangs around in the river, and he is inevitably covered with some unpleasant smells such as Houttuynia cordata and bitter grass in the river. He doesn't care about it, nor does he feel something is wrong.

Director Qinghe was impatient and waved his hand repeatedly, asking Ding Shisan to leave quickly.

"Hmph, that's natural. My master Hanshan Zhenren is the best man in Wu County. Who dares to come to my Hanshan Taoist Temple to cause trouble! As long as you are not caught on the spot, it will be useless if the magistrate Wang comes. You leave immediately, and next time I will give you a news about a fat sheep to make up for your losses."

This time Ding Shisan Zai Feiyang failed, and he had no way to save it. He could only let the water bandit leader leave as soon as possible. This matter cannot be a slight hindrance, which will affect the reputation of Hanshan Taoist Temple, otherwise no one can afford to blame the master.

"This is what Master Dao said in person!"

Ding Shisan was surprised, but worried that Director Qinghe would regret it.

"Go away! I will keep my word."

Director Qinghe is very impatient.

"Okay, okay! I agreed to sell me another fat sheep!"

After receiving the promise, the leader of the bandit Ding Shisan put on his hat and hurriedly climbed over the wall to leave the Taoist temple. This time the fat sheep was not slaughtered, but instead lost more than ten subordinates. It was a disaster, so he could only look for an opportunity to make a comeback next time.

Su Chen hid in the corner behind the outer room of the courtyard. Listening to the conversation between Director Qinghe and Ding Shisan, his heart was shocked.

This Qinghe Taoist Priest is not an ordinary Taoist priest, but the head of the five personal disciples of Hanshan Zhenren.

On weekdays, the real person in Hanshan travels around, and the Master Qinghe replaces the real person and presides over the Hanshan Taoist Temple.

Su Chen couldn't believe that the head master Qinghe, the first disciple of Hanshan Zhenren, actually colluded with the water bandits, and used the incense of Taoist temples to grasp the whereabouts of the pilgrims, leaked them to the water bandits, let them rob and share the money together.

"Tongbing" is a serious crime, and is one of the major crimes of beheading convicted by the government, second only to crimes such as "rebellion, treason, bandits and bandits".

In recent years, there have been many disasters in the thirteen counties of Wu County, with refugees everywhere, and bandits in various counties have become more and more serious. The government wants water bandits everywhere and severely punishes those who run the bandits.

Once the bandits are seized, they will be executed.

Su Chen's eyes were cold and he was secretly disgusted.

When Hanshan Zhenren treated him a little fisherman with no background and saved his life, he admired Hanshan Zhenren very much.

Unexpectedly, Master Qinghe, the eldest disciple of Hanshan Zhenren, was shamed by his master and became a scum among Taoists.

The Hanshan Zhenren rarely stayed in the Taoist temple in recent years, and traveled around the world all year round, and the dragon was not seen at the head. The Taoist Priest Qinghe was probably just taking advantage of his master's absence in the Taoist temple that he dared to do evil.

This Qinghe Taoist Priest is the mastermind behind this Dahe robbery and is even more hateful than Ding Shisan.

However, Su Chen knew very well that even if he told this, others would not believe it. Instead, he would say that he was slandering Taoist Priest Qinghe and insulting the reputation of the Taoist Temple in Hanshan.

The crime of tying bandits is empty talk, so of course you have to obtain physical evidence.

Su Chen thought secretly that Master Qinghe's tone should be that he rarely met Ding Shisan, so there must be a secret letter to communicate. Only when the evidence of the crime is confirmed can Master Qinghe's ability to make him unable to make a quibble.
