Chapter 558 Encountering 4 thieves in the belly of Dragon King Temple
Li Kaiyang and the others wanted to return to the ship, but they encountered wind and rain. The two of them took shelter in the Dragon King Temple. At night, they were hungry. Fortunately, Li Kaiyang secretly put a fat chicken on the table in his arms while they were having a banquet. When he took it out, Xiaolan was very happy. She said: "I didn't think about how you are so smart."
Li Kaiyang said: "I was afraid to prepare for a rainy day. I was scared to encounter such a hungry situation again, so it was a pity to waste so many things, so I packed it back."
The two of them divided the chicken and ate it with gusto. They did not expect that they would encounter wind and rain on the way up, which was beyond their expectations. It doesn't matter if two people take shelter in this small temple for a while, they can chat and talk about what's on their mind.
Xiaolan said, "I'm just wondering, why are you always in no hurry to go back, instead of going here and there? You also know that Sister Xueying's situation at home is very dangerous...!"
Li Kaiyang explained to him at this time, "Actually, I know that Gu Xueying is anxiously waiting for the water to save her life at home, but you also know that his condition is very stable. I thought that since he came out, he should not go back easily."
These words made Xiaolan a little puzzled, "Why can't you go back easily? Why are you so selfish? Don't you take her life seriously?"
Li Kaiyang wanted to say it but didn't want to say it, and finally said it, "I tell you, this is what I think. I think we are looking for holy water, and we only found half of what we need. Besides, doesn't he still need the turtle?" Turtle shell? Where can I find this kind of white turtle? It’s so hard to find. I think this palace is the most noble place. If you can’t find such a rare thing from them, I’m afraid you’ll have to find it elsewhere. It’s even more difficult. What I mean is that if we go to their palace, we might be able to find the white turtle shell from him by chance. Wouldn’t this save us a lot of effort? After we come out, we will kill two birds with one stone and find the holy water. Only by finding the turtle shell can we completely save Gu Xueying. Just taking this holy water back will allow him to drink it, but without the medicine prepared from the turtle shell, it will not play a decisive role."
Xiaolan was really impressed by Li Kaiyang's words. He didn't expect that Li Kaiyang had such scheming intentions. Indeed, he was anxious to send her back, but the clouds on the top of the mountain alone couldn't save Sister Gu Xueying. This time he was I admire Li Kaiyang from the bottom of my heart.
Since you have such an idea. He also began to support Li Kaiyang. Xiaolan said: "Since you have such an idea, let's not go back. No matter whether we give it a try or not, there is always hope."
Li Kaiyang said: "That's good. I see that you are quite anxious, so I plan to give up this idea. Now that you agree, let's go to his palace to have a look. If there is one, wouldn't we solve it?" Is there a big problem?"
Tonight, the two of them can only spend the night here. It's raining pretty hard outside. The temperature dropped a lot when it rained. The two of them felt very cold, and their clothes were relatively thin. Although they could avoid the rain in the Dragon King Temple, it was drafty from all sides. The original window paper on the windows was damaged, and the two of them shivered. , it was difficult to fall asleep, but fortunately a fire was lit, and he could barely hold on. Later, Li Kaiyang thought, behind the statue of the Dragon King was relatively speaking. It was still close enough to avoid the cold wind, so the two people went up behind the seated statue of the Dragon King, which was on the altar. After they went up, they hid behind the stone statue, which actually blocked the wind blowing in from the main entrance, and he There are no windows in the wall behind them. Therefore, this place is relatively the warmest and leeward place in this temple. Of course, the fire is farther away from them. It doesn't matter if it is further away, as long as the temple With the fire lit inside, they felt much warmer.
The two people pulled down a cloth curtain next to it, folded several layers and spread it underneath. They both sat cross-legged, with their backs leaning against the stone statue and facing inward. In this way, the two of them felt much more comfortable.
Xiaolan said, "Brother Li, you really know how to think of a way. In this way, we can avoid the suffering of the cold wind." Li Kaiyang said, "Go to sleep. Tomorrow we have to go to the palace, which is such a big place." It also takes a lot of effort. The two of them slept together in the same clothes, and in the middle of the night, they were sleeping soundly. Suddenly a violent quarrel woke them up. What happened? At this time, Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan heard that other people had come to the Dragon King Temple and were arguing about something.
Li Kaiyang wanted to turn around to see what it was, but Xiaolan grabbed him and said. The voices they spoke were very subtle, but it was not apparent in the quarrels of the few people. Li Kaiyang leaned against the statue again and listened quietly to what they were saying. There were about three or four people outside, and he heard one of them say, "Boss, this thing is hard to come by. We must hide it." It's good, otherwise we will be discovered by others, and our efforts will be in vain. The other person said where to hide it? It is not safe to hide it anywhere, it is more suitable to wear it on the body. "
Another person said, "After the palace loses this thing, the government will definitely make us wanted by the government. If we carry it with us, doesn't this tnd mean we are asking for trouble?"
The man said: "Third brother, why are you talking like a bastard and asking for trouble? If we had known that we were asking for trouble, why would we do such a thing?"
Another person said, "Don't argue, don't argue. We have done such a big deal now, what do we regret now? I never regret it, even if it is a bit risky. We are also convinced of him, and with this Baby, we will no longer live in poverty from now on, do you want to live in poverty?"
The three people all echoed at the same time: "I don't want to live in poverty."
"That's it. I think brother is right. Find a place to hide it and don't take it with you. If the weather is calm one day, we can get it when you come back."
The man named the boss said again: "I think this place is good. This small temple is quite desolate, and it has been standing here for so many years, so there won't be any accidents. Let's find a place to hide it. After hiding it, , we will come back to get it when there is no movement from the government and the weather calms down, then we can enjoy this wealth safely."
Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan listened quietly, not knowing what they got and what they were going to hide. At this time, I heard some sparse noises outside. They seemed to be rummaging around, and they didn't know what they were looking for.
Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan became alert, fearing that these people would be in trouble if they couldn't find the back of the statue. Fortunately, after a while of turmoil, those people didn't seem to come to look behind the statue.
Li Kaiyang knew that they might have been hiding. As for where they were hiding, they couldn't see it. He just heard the boss said, "I think it's safer to put it here. No one should find them."
This person also said, "Brother, you have such a wonderful idea, put it under this altar table...!"
The third child immediately punched him and said, "Speak softer, be careful that walls have ears."
The second child said, "It's so late at night, why do walls have ears? I can't see a single house in these dozens of miles. Where could anyone eavesdrop on us?"
The fourth child said: "Don't say that. There are passers-by in a forest not far from us. It is inevitable that they will stay here for the night. What if they hear it? The sound can travel far in the quiet night."
The boss said: "It's true, but you have to be careful."
The second child said, "Aren't you kidding? It's raining so heavily. Whoever spends the night in the woods won't get soaked to death? Even if he spends the night, he has to go to this temple to take shelter from the rain."
At this point, someone noticed the fire, which was still smoking slightly. The boss exclaimed: "It's broken, it's broken. Someone really is there. You see, someone has lit a fire here."
A few people were so careless that they didn't even notice the fire when they arrived. "Look to see if there is anyone in the temple!"
A few people started to fuss about it. Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan saw that they couldn't hide anymore. One of them rushed out to confront them, and the other tried to find a way to hide more secretly. Li Kaiyang was very anxious, and those people were rummaging around outside. Xi looked for them and hadn't found the back of the statue yet, because he didn't expect that the place behind the statue was so small and could hide people. Li Kaiyang looked at it and saw that there were beams above. You can go up from the beams, but I'm afraid the process of going up would be complicated. discovered by them. Xiaolan was also very anxious, where could she hide? When the two of them were anxious, they leaned back sharply. Li Kaiyang felt that the statue was a little loose. He turned around and saw that when he leaned on it, there was a gap on the back of the statue. His back There is a door above. Unexpectedly, although this door is neither too wide nor too high, there is no problem for a person to enter.
The two of them didn't think much. Li Kaiyang winked, and Xiaolan quickly got in. He took a look inside and saw nothing inside. It was just bare, as if it were the inside of a statue. How was this door formed? Li Kaiyang understood in a moment that when he was repairing the statue, the outside of the statue was repaired, but the inside was hollow. The craftsmen left the door to fill something inside, and after repairing it, they sealed it up without careful attention. It couldn't be seen through observation, so the two people opened the door and hid inside.
After entering, he closed the door again very lightly, so no one looking for him outside noticed him.
Not long after, the two of them heard someone coming up to the altar, and then started to circle behind the statue. The two of them had their hearts in their throats, fearing that they would discover this door, but fortunately a rough voice said: " There was no one behind him, so he jumped off the altar again. The sound of jumping up and down was clearly audible, and the voices of people outside were still audible inside the statue, although they were quieter. . A person walked around and found no one. His boss said, "There were people here before, and then they left again." "
The third child said: "How could they leave in such a heavy rain? Are they hiding outside the temple? Let's go outside for a walk."
So the four of them began to search outside again. There was indeed nothing to hide around the temple. The Dragon King Temple was alone on the edge of the road. Although there were a few trees around, it was nowhere to hide. There was no way to hide from people. , so they returned to the temple after walking around for a while.
The boss said: "It looks like he is gone. We have been searching for a long time and can't find him. Everyone, please rest assured and stop being suspicious."
The four people all agreed with what the boss said. The fourth said: "What should we do? Should we leave here now or spend the night here?" The boss said: "It's raining so heavily."
At this moment, the third child suddenly stepped on something and said, "What is this?"
He looked down and found in his hand that they were chicken bones that had been eaten by people. He shouted loudly, "Did you see? There are people who ate chicken here. Look, the chicken bones are all thrown here."
Several people came over to take a look, and the boss said: "The man is gone. He has eaten chicken and pigs. What does it matter to us? Don't be suspicious. Everyone can find a place to sleep." "
They slept comfortably by the fire, so a few people found dry firewood and lit a fire again. Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan also felt much warmer in the belly of the Dragon King Statue.
It was quite safe for them to walk here, sheltered from the wind and warm. It was like a small room. Xiaolan whispered to Li Kaiyang, "If we encounter any emergency in the future, we will come here. I am here." , no one can find it.”
Li Kaiyang made a mute gesture. If you are happy, if you speak here, even if your voice is small, can you hear it outside? This is all a suspense. If someone hears you, another fight is looming. Although I am not afraid of them, I don’t want to see this kind of fight, because there will be casualties if you do it. This has nothing to do with him. It didn't match his philosophy, so he warned Xiaola to keep her voice down. Don't even speak.
Xiaolan shut her mouth, not daring to make any more noise, and listened quietly for a while. It was still very quiet outside, and it seemed that several people fell asleep after lighting the fire. Li Kaiyang doesn't dare to go outside to pry now.
He snored and fell asleep in the Dragon King's belly. I don't know how long I slept. Outside, a strong wind blew, blowing the curtains, and the curtains caught an incense burner on the altar, and fell to the ground with a splat. Only then did I hear those people talking, "Brother, do we want to go when it's dawn?"
The elder brother said: "Let's go, don't stay here, the things have been hidden, let's go back to our own homes. We will come back to get the things after the weather calms down."
At the same time, the elder brother said, "I tell you, no one can come and take things secretly. If you let me know that some of you have taken things secretly, I tell you, I will not be merciful."
The brothers vowed, "Don't worry, brother, we will live and die together, share blessings and share hardships. We will never come to get something secretly."
The eldest brother seems to trust these brothers quite a bit, and he is not afraid of anyone enriching themselves. Without taking any precautions, several people left the Dragon King Temple.
