Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chapter 458 Rock

The shadow guards don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and soon Sima Qitong was tied up by Wuhuada.

"Ah! Let me go!"

Sima Qitong glared at the shadow guard viciously while screaming, thinking that she had never been humiliated like this after being arrogant for so long, how could she bear it!

Yun Zhanfei's ears hurt from Sima Qitong's noise, so he took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Sima Qitong's mouth.

"It's pretty quiet."

Yun Zhanfei breathed a sigh of relief, this woman is really too noisy.

"Let's go back!"

Yunhong glanced at Yun Zhanfei and said, everyone has been caught, there is no need to waste time here.

Yun Zhanfei nodded, and the two quickly returned to the room with the people.

"Put them in prison first, and wait until the effect of the medicine on Mrs. Li and the others is lifted tomorrow, and then we will take them there!" Yun Hong ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

The shadow guard took the people away, and there is no need for good conditions to imprison them right now, just throw them on the floor of the room, let them freeze for a night, rub their spirits, and take them back to talk tomorrow.

……

The little novice who was guarding the gate quietly came out of the room after seeing Yunhong and the others leave. Soon, his figure blended into the night.

"Elder Jingtong!"

The little monk came to Jingtong's room and told him what he had just seen.

Jingtong is the elder in Xiangguo Temple, and the second in command besides Jingheng.

Now Jingheng is in the palace with most of the monks in the temple, and the person in charge of the temple is Jingtong.

"People from the Yun family? And the young lady from the Sima family?"

Jingtong frowned, thinking of the things that were being planned in the temple right now, a trace of worry flashed across his eyes.

"Do you know what happened to them?" Jing Tong asked.

"This... disciple didn't hear what they said." The little novice shook his head in embarrassment, but he didn't know.

"Leave them alone for now."

Jingtong thought for a while, and let the little novice leave first.

After the person left, Jing Tong hurriedly left the room and headed towards the back mountain.

……

"There has been such a big movement in the temple, has it attracted the attention of the monks in the temple?"

Chu Zhuang watched Huiming come down from the roof and asked him.

Huiming frowned and nodded, "Just now I saw a novice monk report to the elder's room, and the other party went to the back mountain."

"Go to the back mountain?"

When such a thing happened, the people from Xiangguo Temple did not ask, but went to the back mountain first?

Is there something on the back mountain that deserves their attention?

Chu Zhuang and Huiming looked at each other, and there was a gleam of light in their eyes. Huiming understood it, and he followed Chu Zhuang quietly.

Jingtong is a high-ranking warrior, and Huiming led Chuzhuang without carelessness, so he didn't follow him too closely, but followed him leisurely.

There is only one road leading to the back mountain, which is the road that Chuzhuang and the others went up yesterday.

But Jingtong didn't take the main road, but came to a very secret path, and rushed all the way forward.

Chuzhuang and Huiming followed behind him, watching Jingtong go through the back mountain and came to a huge rock.

Jingtong carefully checked the surrounding environment and found nothing wrong, then opened the mechanism, and the huge rock in front of him actually moved to the side.

A passage inside was revealed.

Jing Heng stepped inside and closed the rock from the inside.

Chu Zhuang and Huiming hid behind a big tree, and waited for someone to enter before poking their heads out to check.

"People are going in."

Huiming stared at the huge rock with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

"Chu Zhuang, what do you think is hidden behind this rock?" Huiming glanced at Chu Zhuang beside him and asked.

Is there any connection between this and what his master wanted to tell him before he died?

Chu Zhuang squinted his eyes, looked at the boulder, shook his head and said, "There is only so much information right now, and nothing can be seen."

Hearing that Chu Zhuang said he didn't know, Huiming felt a little lost, but soon he cheered up again.

It is indeed too difficult to know what is hidden in it with only one stone.

Fortunately, they already know this place. As long as Chu Zhuang can open the mechanism, they can go in and have a look after Jingtong leaves.

"Huiming, take me to the tree, let me see the surrounding terrain." Chu Zhuang patted Huiming's shoulder and said.

Huiming nodded, and led Chu Zhuang up to the tallest tree. Standing on it, he could have a panoramic view of the terrain below.

Although it was night, Chu Zhuang had roughly figured out the surrounding terrain.

"It's very likely that there is a cave behind it, but I don't know what is hidden in it, so this monk hurried over at this time." Chu Zhuang said with a frown.

The two didn't wait for long, and after a while, the rock moved away again, and Jingtong came out from inside.

This is the person who came out this time, besides him, there are more than ten other people.

Huiming saw it clearly, and pointed to his head. Chu Zhuang understood that Huiming was saying that these people were all monks.

Jingtong and the others closed the rock and cleaned up the traces left around at the same time, and a group of people hurried away from the path to the direction of the temple.

"What are these monks doing hiding here at night?"

After Chu Zhuang and Huiming had already left, they got down from the tree and walked towards the rock.

Huiming shook his head, how could he know.

"Can you find this mechanism?"

Huiming looked around, but couldn't find a mechanism that could remove the rock. Although he could use brute force to open it, he would definitely be discovered, so he could only place his hope on Chu Zhuang.

Chu Zhuang looked around and felt around, and finally found that there was something wrong with a small stone on the ground, which seemed to be fixed on the ground.

He twisted slightly, and the rock slowly moved aside.

"opened!"

Chuzhuang and Huiming looked at each other, and said in unison: "Go in and have a look!"

It's already here, it's impossible not to go in and have a look!

……

"Chuzhuang..."

Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong brought him back and were about to go to Chu Zhuang, but after knocking on the door for a long time, they found that he was not in the room.

"Young Master Chu, they chased someone away." The shadow guard told them what he saw.

Because Yunhong said not to explore the secrets of Chu Zhuang and Huiming, even though the shadow guards found out, they didn't follow.

Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong looked at each other and understood.

Chu Zhuang and Huiming must have some purpose in coming to Xiangguo Temple this time.

It is estimated that they are going towards their goal now, right?

As for what their purpose is, they still don't know yet.

"Then what should we do now?" Yun Zhanfei stood at the door, shrugged his shoulders and looked at Yun Hong and asked.

"Rest for one night, and we will take people there tomorrow after the effect of the Mongolian sweat medicine wears off!" Yun Hong thought for a while and said.

It's late at night, and they can't do anything.

"All right!"

Yun Zhanfei nodded, and asked, "Have you sent someone to watch over Mengxi?"

"Don't worry, arrange someone to guard."

Yunhong nodded, and pushed Yun Zhanfei into the door. They must have a good night's rest tonight, and they will have to settle accounts with the Sima family tomorrow!

……

"so close!"

Chu Zhangyang waited until Yunhong and the others left with their people, and then carefully came out from behind the tree beside him.

His goal alone was too small, and he was crawling on the ground little by little, so he didn't attract Yunhong's attention at all.

When Yunhong and the others brought people over, Chu Zhangyang hid behind a tree and pretended to be dead in time.

So for a while, no one discovered his existence, which allowed him to escape.

"That bitch has been arrested, and now things are getting bigger..."

The mission failed this time, and even Sima Qitong was caught by Yunhong and the others, so this matter would definitely cause trouble in front of Sima Weibo and the others.

But Chu Zhangyang couldn't think too much at the moment. He was shivering on the cold mountain. Before thinking about other things, he should find a way to go back to the mountain.

Otherwise, he might freeze to death on this mountain tonight.

Chu Zhangyang returned to the temple with all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and asked the novice guarding the gate to arrange a new room for him, and applied medicine to his ankle, so that he could think about Sima Qitong's matter.

"Master Sima must be notified of this matter as soon as possible."

Chu Zhangyang wrote a letter and decided to wait until daylight before sending someone to Sima Jincheng.

As for Sima Qitong's safety, Chu Zhangyang didn't care much about it.

Yunhong and the others would definitely not want Sima Qitong's life, at most they would just give him a little suffering.

But today Sima Qitong was abandoned without hesitation, which made Chu Zhangyang very resentful.

He wished that Sima Qitong would suffer more, so that he could vent his anger in his heart.

As Chu Zhangyang expected, Sima Qitong's current situation is indeed not very good.

All the guards around her were knocked out and tied up, and even she herself was tied up and thrown to the ground.

Lying on the cold floor this night, Sima Qitong shivered from the cold.

She wanted to cry out for help.

But it's a pity that a stick was stuffed in her mouth, and there were shadow guards watching her around.

She was crying every day, and the ground was not working, so she could only wait for someone to rescue her on the cold floor.

……

"There really is a cave inside!"

Huiming first entered the cave to check the terrain, and after making sure that there was no danger, he brought Chu Zhuang in.

As soon as he entered the cave, his body immediately became much warmer.

This cave is equivalent to a natural air conditioner. It is extremely cool in summer, but it is very warm in winter.

Chuzhuang has traveled in such a cave before, so when he saw the terrain here, he had some guesses.

The two entered the cave, and Chu Zhuang found the mechanism inside and closed the rock again.
