The abbot, who was instructing the guests to set up the banquet, immediately came over and asked, "What did the three of you say to me? If it were not for my concern for you, would Zhenhai's treasure sword have returned to your hands so quickly? "

Zhenhai laughed, "Take good care of him! Take good care of him! He really took good care of her! My Dragon Spring Sword has been on Penglai Island for hundreds of years, and it has never been lost. This time it was the Japanese. Thank you! "Many thanks!"

Zhenhai was overjoyed. He suddenly thought of playing chess and asked Fa Ming, "Fellow Daoist, you must also be good at chess, right?"

Farmer said, "I don't dare to be smart. I just randomly took a few steps."

Zhenhai said, "That's good! The four of us played chess and fought each other. "If I don't win against the Elder, I won't return to Penglai Island."

When Farmer heard this, he laughed and said, "Oh my god, how long are we going to keep killing for? Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you. "I'm out looking for someone. I won't be staying for long, so I'll have to leave soon." Zhenhai said, "What are you so anxious about? Stay for a few more days. I'd like to pay my respects to your senior brother, and congratulate the people of Ru Feng. It's not too late to leave together. "

Hearing this, Fa Ming thought to himself, "It is a secret that the people of Rufeng are at the Temple of Protecting the Nation in Beijing. How did it get to Shandong? How did he know? "

While he was still in doubt, the abbot said, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. It's fine to stay here for a few days. If that Monk Yuan Ming really comes to Shandong, we will know his whereabouts within a few days. Now, my decree has been spread. It has been spread throughout Shandong Province for three days. Just wait patiently for the news. "

Zhenhai asked in shock, "What are you guys talking about, Monk Yuan Ming? A few days ago, I went to the temple to a little monk called Yuan Ming. He came from Beijing. I listened to his Sichuan accent and asked him about Rufeng. He was the one who told me that Rufeng was at the Temple of the State Protector in Beijing. That's when I wanted to go to the Temple of the State Protector in Beijing to look for Rufeng. I have some tacit understanding with him. " Hearing that, the doubt in Fa Ming's heart was dispelled, and he immediately rejoiced, "So that's how it is! It was this monk I was looking for. "Where is he now?"

Zhenhai pointed at the old Daoist and said, "Before I came here, that Monk Yuan Ming and his good friend, Daoist Hua Chunfeng, went to Lao Shan's Supreme Purity Palace." When Farmer heard this, he lost all interest and was about to set off for the Supreme Purity Palace. "In order to prevent him from leaving again, I'll set off to find him."

Zhenhai stopped Farmer Farmer and asked, "Why are you looking for him in such a hurry?" He says he won't go back to the temple. " "There are some important things in our temple that have to do with him. If we don't find him, we won't be able to find out."

The abbot continued, "Currently, the Qingdao area is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese and the Germans. It had not been decided who would rule in the end. There was always the danger of war. Yuan Ming shouldn't have gone there. It had been a good place to live in seclusion, but now it was different. If Yuan Ming was smart, he would definitely come to Grandmaster Dai in a few days. I expect that even if you didn't go looking for him, he would have come as well. "

Zhenhai was determined to play against Fa Ming, so he said, "You can wait for a few more days if you want to hear more news." With that, he pushed Farmer into the room. The abbot and the others also bitterly urged him to stay. Zhenhai immediately set up a chess game, inviting Farmer Lin to play, saying, "Let's use this to pass the time. It's better to just sit around and wait for the abbot's celebratory feast." Feeling helpless, he could only say a few polite words and invite him to play chess. At this moment, the Farmer was playing chess with his heart looking for Yuanming in Laoshan.

Yuan Ming committed the crime at the mosque that day. Because he was afraid of the mountain and didn't dare to return to the temple. He also did not want to return to the Green Cloud Temple in the Western Mountains. Panic and confusion filled his heart as he slipped out of Beijing. He thought again: "I might as well rush to the station, take the bus to Tianjin, and leave."

He stopped and thought, "It's not right for me to go like this. The thief escaped from my hands, which means that the treasure was thrown away from my hands. I left a note for the abbot promising to return the treasure to him. I should have kept my word. Master taught me: 'To be thorough, to do things with determination. 'To dare to suffer in the midst of hardships, that's what a peer.' Wash your heart. No matter what, I have to stay in Beijing and look for treasures. "If I can't find it, then I have a clear conscience …"

As he walked on, he found himself far away from the city, in front of a nunnery. The temple reminded Yuan Ming. He looked at the nunnery and thought to himself, "That day, Yuan Ji and I went out for a stroll and got to know the peace and quiet of the nunnery in the city. Her temple was outside the city. If I hide there, not only will Master Rufeng be unable to find me, I will also be able to analyze clues and search for treasures. If there was a church accident, and that was far from the city, I would be able to take refuge there. That's the ideal place for me to go! " He made up his mind, asked for directions to the temple, and walked towards it.

When Yuan Ming arrived at the You Dai monastery, he saw that there were no neighbors in the temple. It was indeed quiet and serene. To the west, there was a large road, of unknown length, extending towards the north and south. Not far from Lucien was a forest. Yuan Ming joyfully said, "This place is really good! "It's good for cultivation, but also good for hiding." He walked into the mountain gate and observed it, feeling the same way. He then walked towards the meditation hall, knocked on the door and called out, "Teacher, I'm sorry to interrupt you when we're walking!" There was no response. Grand Preceptor Xie was sitting alone in meditation. When she heard the man's voice, she intentionally kept quiet. Grand Preceptor Xie thought to himself, "If you call out a few times, you won't find it interesting, so it's your turn to leave." This nun temple, why did I recruit you? "I'll let you have a good, quiet, closed-door meal."

Yuan Ming knocked on the door a few more times and entered. He saw that Grand Preceptor Shi was sitting on a prayer mat, meditating and chanting. There was no silence. Yuan Ming didn't know his teacher, so he guessed, "This teacher must be his master, Senior Sister Qing Qing."

Yuan Ming took a few steps forward and said, "Yuan Ming pays his respects to the Grand Master!" When the mistress heard that he was not going to announce himself, she was unhappy in her heart. Turning his head to look, he saw that Yuan Ming was chubby and his face was pale, yet he had shifty eyes.

The teacher's wife was immediately annoyed, she turned her head and said, "You can go. I am a nunnery and won't entertain a monk. We share the same path and different temples. "

Yuan Ming sincerely pestered him and said, "Teacher: but I am a little monk. You're old and you're old and you're not suspicious. I want to ask for a cup of tea and a bite to eat. "

The teacher's wife said, "No. I am old, but I have a disciple your size. How inconvenient it is for you to be here. "Let's go!" Yuan Ming answered without saying a word. His heart was at peace with his plan. The teacher said, "I can hear the accent of the Sichuan people. They must have come from afar to send you to the temple. "Don't miss your chance."

Yuan Ming was infuriated as he grumbled to himself, "How could I not know that you have a precious disciple!?" I wouldn't have come if I hadn't known her. Although I am a monk, I am a true person and you do not know it. I don't do matters of the dark, I don't seduce your disciple, why wouldn't it be convenient for me? Don't even think about chasing me out! "

Seeing that he was unwilling to leave, she added, "It's such a coincidence that we're eating. The samovar was broken up in the temple, and my disciple went into the city to buy rice. What are you waiting for? " Yuan Ming then said, "This little monk pleads with Grand Master not to disturb me further. I am too hungry to walk. " "There's no room in the temple," Mistress Shi said angrily. It was dark when my disciple came back to cook. "Just you wait!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and started chanting.

Yuan Ming said to himself, "This master is such a pain in the ass, he's really hard to deal with." I was driven away by her just like that? " He was at his wit's end when he suddenly thought: "The name of man, the shadow of the tree. "Master Ruo Feng has a great reputation, I think I should mention him."

He pretended to be pitiful as he muttered to himself, "My monk sure has had a hard time. He came to find my master, Ru Feng, and no one felt sorry for him. He was chased away by his own body wherever he went. People here are too ungrateful. Let's just leave! " He looked at the Mentor's reaction but did not move.

When the mistress heard him mention Rufeng, her heart stirred. "What were you talking about just now?" she asked. State your master's name and temple's name. Let me hear it. "

Yuan Ming was secretly happy in his heart as he said, "My name is Yuan Ming." My master is from the Rufeng of the Shaolin Temple in Mount Song. I came to find my master. I don't have money to live in a restaurant, so it's hard to eat. People often rush me when I enter the temple. It's so hard for me to be out there. " "He's a disciple of Rufeng, don't chase him away," she said to herself.

"If you are tired of walking, you can rest," said the matron. Seeing that she had indeed changed her mind, Yuan Ming thought to himself, "I was right." Putting down the things, he said, "Please spare me a few days, master. Once I find Master, I will leave. "

She stood up and led him to the house that Rufeng had lived in. "You don't want to go, so you should stay here," she said. I know your Master. "

Yuan Ming pretended to be happy and thanked him. His master had too much experience in the martial arts world, and was afraid that he would commit fraud. He didn't want to tell him that Ruo Feng had lived here before. The mistress finished her arrangements and left. After a while, Chang Jing came back. Yuan Ming became quiet again. She knew that he had cheated, and she knew what he was thinking, so she hid it from the Grand Preceptor. The two pretended not to know each other. In this way, Yuan Ming lived in You Yao Temple.

For the first few days, Yuan Ming, in order to avoid the murder case in the church, studied the "Secrets of the Sect Leader" in closed doors during the day and practiced in the forest during the night. He lives in an orderly and orderly manner. When Mistress saw this, she was very happy. The teacher's mistress peeked at him time and time again and saw that Yuan Ming was always concentrating on reading.

The teacher's mistress silently praised him. "How dignified!" Judging from this man's identity, he was either a scholar or a martial artist. Cultivating so diligently, how could he not have any prospects in the future? It's true that a famous teacher will produce a great disciple. " Following that, she also changed her cold attitude toward Yuan Ming and gradually became concerned. Grand Master, Changjing, and Yuanming ate together every day and slept in the same temple every night, so they were at peace.

During this period, the State Protector Temple was nervously looking around for Yuan Ming. Fa Ming had left for Tianjin a long time ago. Fa Tong and four other monks searched through the various temples and inns in the city, but Yuan Ming was nowhere to be found. They reported to the abbot. The next day, he once again searched through the temples and inns outside the city. Other than the nun's temple, they searched everywhere else. Yuan Ming was still not found.

The four young Adepts were no longer interested in finding him. Pu Xian said: "Yuan Ming, that thief monk, must have gone to Tianjin. He had stolen the book of Rufeng's master, afraid that his master would be scared to death. He would never dare to hide in Beijing. We've got thin legs and we can't find him. "

"If Yuan Ming really went to Tianjin, he would definitely be able to find him. However, we can't help but take notice of what Farmer said before he left. He suspects that Yuan Ming did not go to Tianjin, so there must be a reason for his absence. Therefore, we must seek 100% confidence to prevent him from hiding in Beijing. Even though he was not in the city, the West Mountain could not be forgiven. There were many temples and mountains there, making it easier to hide. Yuan Ming had been staying at the Jade Cloud Temple for a long time. He was already familiar with the temples in the western mountains. We must not fully believe the words of Yuan Ji. The two of them had a tacit understanding that they might both deceive us. He would gather his forces tomorrow and make an investigation in the dark and in the open. He would search all over the Western Mountain. This way, our two teams will keep searching, and we won't have to worry about not being able to find him. "

The next day, Fa Tong, Rufeng separately went to the Western Mountain to find. Now, the National Protector Temple had released all of its troops in search of Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming was in a leisurely manner. Listening to the case in the city which was no longer being pursued closely, he began to operate. He thought to himself, "It's easy to find out where this treasure is going." If you know where it is going, you'll be able to find it.

On the day of the incident, first, the people from the guard camp and second, the people from the police station had all been at the scene. I don't know who found Macley first. If they had seen that Macley had died in the street, someone else would have interfered with the treasure. He was the one who killed Macley and took the treasure. If that was the case, the treasure would be hard to find once it fell into the hands of the martial artists. Or that night, when Macley was on his way with his treasures, he met a patrol. The patrol must have questioned him when they saw his suspicious appearance.

Maclay was guilty of a crime, and would have to resist arrest and escape, so as not to avoid a chase. If that was the case, the guard battalion was the most suspicious. All of them had martial arts skills. Forget it, I'll go investigate the two yamen, the guard camp and the police station. "

Yuan Ming was happy in his heart. He patted his head and said, "To be honest, I, Yuan Ming, am not arrogant. I dare to call myself smart. After listening to their words, one would be able to deduce where the treasure had fallen into. If the treasure falls into the hands of the martial arts people, I will analyze and search for clues about the martial arts world. "For me, Yuan Ming, to handle this matter, it should not be too difficult."

He made up his mind during the day. In the evening, when it was dark, he dressed up and snuck into the guard camp. Arriving near the guard camp, Yuan Ming cautiously said, "This place is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it is no ordinary place. "I can't go in easily, and I can't be careless either. I have to listen."

He slipped to the door and peered inside. There was no light, no one moving, no sentries. Silence reigned in the courtyard. After watching for a while, Yuan Ming was amused. He thought to himself, "I thought this place was very difficult to get close to." Who would have thought that it would be so easy to enter? "It's not tight, nor is it scary. It's like an empty camp."
