Return of the Swallow

"No, your guess is very possible." Pang Xiao rubbed his eyebrows regretfully at this time, and said tiredly, "It is my negligence. I only think that there are no outsiders on the mountain, and I have never doubted the people of Wanfo Temple. The monk, it was unexpected that even in such an environment, something happened to the queen."

"I can't blame you either. I also didn't expect that there would be an accident on such a dangerous mountain." Qin Yining looked around for a week, carefully looking for clues in the hall.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Pang Xiao looked to the door with sharp eyes, and saw the little novice leading an old monk in sixties with long beards and kind eyebrows coming in.

Years of battle on the battlefield made Pang Xiao look awe-inspiring when he became serious, and when idlers watched him, they would feel a sense of urgency and fear.

Although the old monk was a stranger, he felt the same way, especially the noble character like the queen had disappeared.

"The clumsy monk Xuanyun, I have seen the prince." Xuanyun folded his palms and bowed slightly.

Pang Xiao returned the courtesy, and said solemnly, "Abbot Xuanyun should have known about the specific situation, right?"

"The clumsy monk already knows."

"This matter is very serious. The empress's empress pays respect to the Buddha, but something goes wrong in your temple. Once it spreads, the saint will be furious. I am afraid that everyone in the temple will lose their lives. It is the king's meaning, not yet Zhang Yang, find someone in private first."

There was cold sweat oozing out on Xuanyun's forehead, but after all he sank down and called the Buddha title: "Amitabha, the clumsy monk thanks the king for his generosity."

If Pang Xiao wanted to clear the relationship, he could actually arrest all the monks in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple right now, put a crime on him, and wait for the emperor to be sent down, so that he would not have to bear the consequences at all. They were charged with other charges.

But Pang Xiao didn't do that, instead he found him alone.

Xuan Yun was grateful, and his attitude became more submissive.

Pang Xiao saw that Xuanyun was transparent, and said: "I heard that Abbot Yun's best friend is a high monk. The empress has benefited a lot from the high monk's lectures these days. I don't know where that high monk is now?"

Xuan Yun said frankly: "Back to the prince, the man who taught the scriptures to the empress is actually a teacher's wife, and the source of the law is the same. She was met by a clumsy monk more than ten years ago. She has not seen it for many years. She wandered here and was in the temple. As a guest, she is indeed proficient in Buddhism, and her character is also reliable. She is really a high monk. But she said goodbye to the clumsy monk the day before yesterday afternoon and went down the mountain."

No one would have thought that the high monk was actually a teacher, and everyone in the hall was silent.

Pang Xiao and Qin Yining caught the latter sentence.

Qin Yining asked: "Abbot Yun meant that Master Tongyuan had gone down the mountain in the afternoon the day before yesterday?"

"Yes." Abbot Xuanyun nodded.

Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao and said quietly, "It seems that I really got my guess."

Pang Xiao nodded, "Although there is no evidence, it is still true. I also asked Abbot Xuanyun to secretly investigate whether any monks in the monastery have disappeared, or who is abnormal."

"It's uncertain when the empress did not see her. Grandma Sun said that the empress lived in the Guanyin Hall yesterday and did not return to the Buddhist monastery. The young novice monk found that the person was missing when she went to deliver the fast food early this morning. So the empress did not see her. The time is likely to be the day before yesterday. If the monks in your temple are not abnormal, it is enough to show that the Master Tongyuan who left the day before yesterday was the one who kidnapped the queen. That's why she hurried away and fled."

Pang Xiao showed the note he found under the futon to Abbot Xuanyun, "Although the Cause and Destiny Peak is a forbidden place in your temple, it must be offended for the queen."

At first glance at the content of the note, Abbot Xuanyun's expression became more and more ugly.

He understood what Pang Xiao meant.

If the other monks in the temple do not have any other abnormalities, it means that Master Tongyuan really deceived him too much, using his relationship to wait here, and it is not good for the queen!

The monks could be so vicious!

If it weren’t for the loyal prince who was kind and magnanimous, I’m afraid all the monks in the temple would be buried for the practice of Master Tongyuan!

"Lord, please. In fact, the forbidden area is not a forbidden area. It is just the place where the Buddha retreats. The mountain opposite is more precipitous. There are cliffs everywhere under the mountain. Only the top of the mountain has trees and vegetation, and there are natural ones. Caves and water sources. A suspension bridge was built when this temple was first built, so that it is convenient to go to the opposite side to meditate when practicing Buddhism. However, these days are really foggy, and it is difficult to see the situation on the opposite side."

"That's the case." Pang Xiao said, "The suspension bridge has been mostly submerged in the mist. The king really didn't realize what was going on. Furthermore, he heard that the opposite was the forbidden land of your temple, and he didn't have any curiosity.

Qin Yining frowned tightly and asked Abbot Xuanyun at the right time, "Excuse me, Abbot, the opposite Karma Peak, really there is no other way to go up the mountain, can I only go through the suspension bridge?"

Qin Yining worried that there would be an ambush on the other side.

Abbot Xuanyun said: "Amitabha, the monks don't speak any words. There is indeed no way to go up and down the mountain because of the fact that the terrain is too steep. The only way is the suspension bridge."

Qin Yining nodded, "Thanks to the abbot for telling me. If the queen can be retrieved, there will be the abbot and Wanfo Temple."

Abbot Xuanyun shook his head: "Do not seek merit, but seek no demerits."

Pang Xiao told Abbot Xuanyun in a low voice that on the one hand, he wanted to check the monks, and on the other hand, he had to secretly arrange for people to look around to see if the queen might be hidden.

At the same time, Pang Xiao also asked Tang Xiu to lead people down the road to search down the mountain to avoid the queen being taken away.See if they can find any clues.

But within an hour, both Abbot Xuanyun and Tang Xiu brought back news.

None of the monks were lost, and nothing suspicious was found on the way down the mountain.

Therefore, the emperor's consequence was really brought to the opposite Karma Peak by that Tongyuan.

"It's really unreasonable. That Master Tongyuan is a monk, how can he do such a thing?" Qin Yining was full of anger, "She obviously ignored the safety of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple!"

"It's a clumsy monk who knows people." Abbot Xuanyun closed his eyes and sighed with folded hands.

Pang Xiao's face was calm, he was a little worried about the situation on the mountain side.

Although he had immediately arranged the Jinghu guards to guard the way up and down the mountain, he learned a lesson. There are so many monks in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. He doesn't even know if one or two of them contain evil intentions.He had believed in these monks too much before and would lose the queen. If he had been invited to Karma Peak now, I wonder if there would be any danger here, and his sister Yi would not be hurt.

Seeing Pang Xiao's silence, Qin Yining guessed the entanglement in his heart, and leaned close to Pang Xiao's side and whispered: "Zhixi, the situation is urgent now, you still have to order someone to check it out. If the queen has anything to do, don't say Wanfo Temple The monks, even we can't survive."

"But the other party asked me to go alone. If I send someone, I am afraid that the queen will be in danger." Pang Xiao said in a deep voice, "I am not afraid of danger, I am worried about you. If I go away, you will be here. Whenever something happens..." He was really frightened by Qin Yining's repeated accidents. Suddenly, this happened. The first thing he thought about was who wanted to hurt his wife while using the Tiaohu to leave the mountain.

Qin Yining, understand, know that Pang Xiao is focusing on her, and her heart is warm.

"You are worried that I will stay here, so why don't I worry about you? The suspension bridge looks very dangerous, and there is rushing water underneath it, and it is so close to the waterfall, if it falls, it will be too late to save it. I'm going to be washed down to the waterfall. I don't worry about you going to Karma Peak alone."

The two looked at each other, both were silent for a while.

Pang Xiao shook his head, "I still have to go."

If something happens to the mother of a country, if he has difficulty choosing between saving the queen and protecting his wife, he will definitely be impeached.It is also possible to be detained in a shit basin, blaming him as the culprit in kidnapping the queen.

Why doesn't Qin Yining understand this truth?

"Well, I'll go with you."

"No." Pang Xiao vetoed, "If there is anything, it would be inconvenient to take you. You are here to wait for me."

"It would be fine if Mr. Mu was here. He will follow you again, and there is an extra layer of protection. The opposite side of the suspension bridge is now foggy, and you can't see anything. We haven't even seen the outline of the opposite Karma Peak these days. I'm really worried that someone above has already done tricks."

Pang Xiao also sighed.

"It's all too coincidental." He leaned close to Qin Yining's ear and whispered: "I suspect that this incident was premeditated. Including the queen will be here, including our coming here, including the wood will leave halfway, It also includes the heavy fog at the Karma Peak."

"Do you feel this too?" Qin Yining said, "We thought of going together. Who else in the world has this ability?"

Except for Tianjizi, Qin Yining couldn't think of the second one.

But why did Tianjizi do this?

She obviously supported Pang Xiao in what she did. She planned to kill anyone, including Pang Xiao's wife and family, but she never meant to kill Pang Xiao.

A person who wanted to make Pang Xiao, the Ziwei Emperor star, return to the right position, why would he deliberately tie the queen to Karma Peak and force Pang Xiao to go alone to save others?

Qin Yining was puzzled.

But guessing that the opponent is Tianjizi, Qin Yining can at least be sure that Pang Xiao's safety will not be threatened for the time being.As for other traps, she can only take one step and see one step.I think that now is the decision of Pang Xiao to go or not, that is, to discuss with Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, the conclusion is still to let Pang Xiao go.

Pang Xiao wiped his face, and said helplessly and irritably: "No hurry, since you don't know exactly when someone went to the peak of cause and fate, then there is no hurry. Let's discuss it with Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu, and I too Arrange things, it’s never too late for me to go."

When Qin Yining heard this, he also felt that this was reasonable.If something happens to the queen, she won’t be taken to the Karma Peak opposite the suspension bridge. Wouldn’t it be cleaner to step back down the mountain and wash her down the waterfall?

So if Tianjizi is really calculating, her goal is to let Pang Xiao go to the peak of karma!
