Chapter 981: Secretly leaving the city

Xuan Bei did not disclose what was written in the letter. When he got the letter, Zhang Hanlai was making trouble. Everyone seemed to have not paid attention to the letter. They probably thought it was a provocation written by Zhang Hanlai.

But if he had written a letter to provoke, there was no need for Zhang Hanlai to rush up the mountain in person.

Li Chengxi felt that the letter should have nothing to do with Zhang Hanlai, at least not directly. Especially if the death of the host was also related to the letter, the possibility was even lower.

After all, Zhang Hanlai's performance when he learned that the host was dead was really not like acting. He should not have known about this before.

And Xuan Bei's nervous attitude was also very suspicious. What was written in the letter was very curious.

Yang Yiyi shone the flashlight around and didn't see anything else. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Li Chengxi say:

"Go deep into the cave. Oh, right, in this direction. Do you see that wall? Push it hard."

Yang Yiyi bit the flashlight in her mouth as Li Chengxi said, and stretched out her hand to push it hard.

Almost at the same time, a crack appeared in the wall, like a revolving door, which was pushed open by Yang Yiyi's brute force.

"There is actually a secret door here!"

"Go in and take a look, maybe there is some treasure."

Secret door traps and other things can't be hidden from Li Chengxi at all. He just needs to press the ALT key to reveal everything.

This door is very heavy, not everyone can open it. Either you have to be invincible like Yang Yiyi, or you have to have deep internal strength.

So it feels like there is a treasure.

Behind the door is still a cave. After Yang Yiyi went in, she reset the secret door and then explored forward with a flashlight.

This time the distance to be walked is very deep, and it should be a naturally formed cave, without any traces of artificial repair.

Yang Yiyi walked inside for almost a quarter of an hour, and it almost reminded her of the psychological shadow of going to Leishanzang. Then she felt a breeze blowing from the other end of the cave.

The cave should be connected to the outside world.

Yang Yiyi quickened her pace, and soon saw a light appearing on the other side.

She turned off the flashlight and walked over, lifting the vegetation that blocked the way, and Yang Yiyi found that she had come out.

This might be the back mountain of Jingci Temple. The sound of the bell of Jingci Temple could be heard faintly. The distance was not too far, but at first glance, there was nothing but grass except for the trees, and there was no treasure.

It seemed to be just an emergency escape passage, not a secret passage with treasures hidden, which made Li Chengxi a little disappointed.

Li Chengxi was about to speak when he saw Yang Yiyi suddenly squatting and using vegetation as cover, and immediately realized that there might be someone nearby.

"Don't cry, the host master must have gone to the Western Paradise."

"I know, but I..."

The voice sounded familiar, and Yang Yiyi pondered for a while, remembering the group of children who had been lying on the wall watching her practice martial arts these days.

"The host master was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly..."

"The host master is old, who can say for sure."

Was he fine yesterday?

This made Yang Yiyi startled. Didn't they say that the master was in seclusion and would not see guests?

She quietly poked her head out and saw a few young boys leaning against a tree in the woods below. Some were wiping their tears, while others were just lying on the tree and crying.

"Who! Who's there!"

"Is the master master back?"

Due to the backlight, they couldn't see Yang Yiyi above them, but there was a shadow. Yang Yiyi was discovered as soon as she poked her head out.

Since she was seen, Yang Yiyi simply flew down.

When the children saw that it was Yang Yiyi, their faces immediately showed undisguised disappointment.

"What are you doing here?"

"I also want to ask you what you are doing in the back mountain?"

The little monk Jingkong wiped the tears from his face:

"This is our secret base, only we and the host master know it."

"I'm just walking around in the back mountain."

After making a casual excuse, Yang Yiyi asked again:

"You just said that the host was fine yesterday, what's the matter, isn't the host master in retreat?"

Jingkong glared at his companion who was wiping tears next to him, and the latter felt a little aggrieved.

"Don't worry, tell your sister, I won't tell anyone else."

The children hesitated for a moment, and seemed to look at Jingkong.

"In fact, the host master often came here to teach us martial arts when he was in retreat."

"Why?"

"We don't know either. Once we came here to roast wild rabbits in the middle of the night and were discovered by the host master. After that, he came here to teach us martial arts whenever he was free, and told us not to tell other people in the temple. He came yesterday and was fine at that time."

Jingkong said it so readily, probably because Yang Yiyi was not from the temple.

"When you saw the host master yesterday, did you see anything unusual?"

"I didn't notice."

A child next to him said at this time:

"I saw it. The host master always seemed to be secretly looking at Jingkong."

"Don't talk nonsense. Why are you looking at me?"

"But I saw it."

It was late at night, and the host actually ran to the back mountain to find these children. He must be full.

"The host master also said that when we grow up a little bit, he will teach us the invincible martial arts."

As the children talked, their eyes turned red again.

Seeing this, Yang Yiyi took out a handful of candy from her arms:

"Don't cry, don't cry. The host master definitely doesn't want you to be sad. Sister has candy here."

A handful of sandwich toffee was distributed among the children. After all, they were still children at heart. With candy to keep their mouths shut, their mood was obviously much better.

But then again, the situation in the temple seemed a bit complicated.

–--——---——

Yang Yiyi gave the candy and told the children not to tell anyone about her affairs. Then she went back to the temple from the back mountain.

The situation in the temple looked the same as usual, but the atmosphere between the monks seemed very heavy.

Walking back to the wing room, Wu Shaoyi was telling Princess Mingzhu about his recent trip to Southern Xinjiang when he opened the door.

Princess Mingzhu was so excited that she was dancing with joy, especially when she heard Jiufeng appeared and invited Yang Yiyi to come into the big tree as a guest. She wished she could be there in person so that she could touch Jiufeng, a mythical beast.

Oh no, I forgot to tell Wu Shaoyi not to talk nonsense.

If Princess Mingzhu got interested and had to go to Southern Xinjiang, it would be troublesome.

I guess the guards in the palace would have to scratch their heads.

Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping were also listening nearby. Yang Yiyi had mentioned this process in her letter, but she naturally didn't mention a word about the danger involved. The details were only heard from Wu Shaoyi.

Li Yingluo looked up and winked at Yang Yiyi when she saw her push the door in. The latter shook her head, indicating that she had not found any useful clues.

Zheng Yinping also noticed the eye contact between the two. She shrugged, and the meaning was very clear. Since there were no clues, let's just watch the show with peace of mind. Anyway, we won't stay for a few days.

Who knew that at this time, Princess Mingzhu suddenly turned around and asked:

"Does Miss Yang know that the cause of death of the host is strange?"

Yang Yiyi was stunned by this question. Isn't this princess just a person who enjoys watching the show?
