There was a ladder at his feet, and Ning Tao crossed the high temple gate and arrived at Ganye Temple, where he settled silently.
It was quiet in Ganye Temple.
There was no one in the Buddhist hall, and the place dedicated to the Buddha was Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, who saved people from suffering. The long shrine is filled with everlasting lamps, arranged neatly one by one.
Ning Tao passed through the Buddhist hall and entered the backyard through the door behind the statue.
The backyard is where the nuns live.
However, the nuns living here are not ordinary nuns. Most of them are concubines of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, those concubines who had no heirs would be sent to this Ganye Temple to become nuns.
There were several houses with lights on in the backyard, and the sound of chanting Buddhist sutras could be faintly heard from one of them. There were two guards in armor and swords standing in front of the door. They were tall and majestic.
Judging from the armor and weapons, the two guards were the Jinwu Guards in the Daming Palace. However, they were standing guard in front of a nun's door at such a late hour. How could the identity of the nun in the house be simple
"Could it be a martial artist?" Ning Tao made a judgment in his mind.
During this period, Emperor Wu was only Li Zhi's lover, and his best identity was only that of the late emperor. He was still thousands of miles away from becoming emperor, and it would take several decades.
In the dark corner, Ning Tao closed his eyes.
If the Nascent Soul says it, it will come out.
An unprovoked wind blew, and the two Jinwu guards in front of the wing door looked at the backyard warily, but the backyard was dark, no one was seen, and there were no unusual noises.
"Brother, that's just a gust of wind." A Jinwu Guard said.
Another Jinwu Guard said: "It's better to be vigilant. Manager Chen has told me that His Majesty's favorite woman lives in this house, so there can be no mistakes."
"It's all that damn Kunlun slave's fault. If she hadn't come to cause trouble, why would we two brothers be standing here at night?" another complained.
"The people Mr. Chen is looking for are really useless. They can't even catch a woman. If our brothers had chased them out during the day, that woman's head would have been in front of Mr. Chen."
"I heard that Manager Chen is going to kill those Kunlun slaves tomorrow. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. I heard that His Majesty may be coming over in the next few days. Those Kunlun slaves staying here are a disaster and of course they must be killed."
"Kill him, that woman will definitely come to save him again, and she will not be allowed to escape when the time comes."
The two Jinwu guards were talking in low voices, but they didn't know that someone was standing next to them, listening to them quietly.
In fact, it's not a human being, it's Ning Tao's Nascent Soul.
Ning Tao was secretly glad that he listened to Kunlun Yu's words and came to rescue people tonight. If he followed his plan and came to rescue people tomorrow night, he, a hero, would probably have to help collect the bodies.
But he also has his own reasons. Kunlun Jade holds the Zhaoye Heavenly Book in her hand. Under normal circumstances, Chen Kang would use Kunlun Jade's tribe to blackmail her, lure her to rescue people, then arrest her, and then take away the treasure. But he didn't expect that Tang Gaozong was coming to meet his lover. This variable was beyond his control.
The door of the wing room was closed tightly, but to Ning Tao, this door was useless. He leaned slightly, and Nascent Soul's head slipped through the door panel, and then his body.
There was a nun sitting in the room. She was in her early twenties, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Looking at her carefully, she is really the younger version of Wu Zetian whom she has met once. But even though she is so young, there is a heroic spirit in her eyebrows that other women do not have, giving people a unique feeling.
Wu Fu sat in front of a small square table with a Diamond Sutra spread out on the table. Next to the Diamond Sutra was a wooden fish. She knocked on wooden fish with one hand, coiled Buddhist beads with the other, and chanted the Diamond Sutra in her mouth.
One glance was enough, but just when Ning Tao was about to take it back, Wu Zhao, who was sitting at the small square table, raised his head and glanced at the door. He stopped chanting and stared at the empty door.
Ning Tao's heart moved. Could it be that she discovered it
This is impossible, the Eye of the Nascent Soul is the Eye of Heaven. But under his eyes, there was nothing abnormal about this young Wu Fu. He had no aura as a cultivator, and no death aura as a living dead. In his eyes, she was just an ordinary woman. How could an ordinary woman discover his half-immortal Nascent Soul
"Perhaps, she is a bit spiritual and can sense the existence of Nascent Soul a little bit." He thought in his heart, and this was the only possibility.
But at this moment, Wu Zhao said softly: "He Fangxiao, what are you doing here?"
Ning Tao was stunned immediately.
This is not a matter of sensing or not, it is knowing his existence, and the words he said also have a hint of threat. These are not words that the martial arts man in history could say in this situation.
Just imagine if it were an ordinary woman, facing an existence like Nascent Soul, it would be considered bold not to be frightened to the point of peeing. How could she still threaten her
Could it be that she is...
Wu Yue!
This thought came to mind, and Ning Tao suddenly felt a surge of complex feelings in his heart.
At this time Wu Fu stood up and walked towards Ning Tao.
After a moment of hesitation, Ning Tao left her room and returned to his body.
He is not here tonight to investigate whether this young Wu Fu belongs to Wu Yue. He is here to save people.
In the room, Wu Fu stopped, his eyes full of doubt.
At this time, Ning Tao had already sneaked elsewhere, and he quickly found the location of the dungeon marked by Kunlun Jade.
It was a room filled with miscellaneous items. The door was open and the lights were on. At a glance, you could see several people sitting around a table, drinking wine and eating meat. Looking carefully, it was the four people who were chasing Kunlun Jade during the day.
The entrance to the dungeon is in that room.
Ning Tao walked in directly.
The four men who were drinking suddenly raised their heads and looked at Ning Tao. What was originally a lively scene of eating and drinking suddenly became quiet.
Suddenly, the man who shot the Kunlun Jade arrow recognized Ning Tao, pointed at Ning Tao and said, "Isn't this the accomplice of the female thief during the day?"
"it's him!"
"Fuck that guy!"
The room suddenly became a mess.
Ning Tao also moved.
But it only lasted a few seconds, and there was only one person left standing in the room.
That was the guy who shot the Kunlun Jade arrow. He had a knife in his hand, and the knife had not had time to be unsheathed.
"Come-" He opened his throat to roar, but before he could say "come", a black and red scalpel was inserted into his mouth, and his voice stopped abruptly.
The blade was so sharp that if he moved, his tongue would be cut off.
Ning Tao said calmly: "I don't have much patience. I will say this once. If you hear clearly, you will live. If you don't hear clearly, you will die."
He nodded, his legs shaking.
Ning Tao said: "What I want you to do is very simple. Take me to the cellar to meet the ten Kunlun slaves imprisoned here, and then release them. Do you hear me clearly?"
He nodded.
Ning Tao took out the Blade of Time from his mouth.
At this moment, the guy suddenly opened his mouth again: "Come on -"
laugh!
A glimmer of cold light flashed through.
Suddenly there was a bleeding wound on the guy's neck, and the blood spurted out like a fountain from the cut artery.
Ning Tao shook his head: "So what if you lure those Jinwu guards here? You never thought that I could kill you, I could kill them."
But the guy lying on the ground spitting blood would definitely not be able to hear such good words.
Ning Tao walked past several corpses and came to a corner.
There is a wooden fence placed flatly under the corner of the wall. Under the fence is what Kunlun Yu said is the cellar. It was dark inside, but Ning Tao's vision was not affected. He saw the Kunlun slaves imprisoned in the cellar, no more, no less, exactly ten.
Ning Tao moved the wooden fence and put down a rope ladder beside it.
The cellar is not a dungeon, there is no tunnel to go down, you can only use a rope ladder. After all, this is a temple, not a government office. There are no professional dungeons for imprisoning people. Chen Kang imprisoned people here probably just because he could control this place and make it easier for him to do things.
Ning Tao picked up a lantern hanging on the wall and jumped directly. He took the lantern down not to illuminate himself, but so that the Kunlun slaves below could see him clearly.
A lantern came down, and suddenly there was light in the dark cellar. The ten shackled men looked nervously at the young man who fell from the sky, their eyes full of fear and vigilance.
Ning Tao said: "Don't be nervous, I am Kunlun Jade's friend, I am here to save you."
An old man asked tentatively: "May I ask your surname, hero?"
Ning Tao said: "My surname is Ning. My name is Tao. People in the world call me Buri Xinjun."
"Master Ning, you said you are my Yu'er's friend. Where is my Yu'er?" The old man was still probing.
There is a reason why he is so cautious. If this young man is Chen Kang's man and pretends to save them and lures the Kunlun Jade to show up, he will fall into a trap.
Ning Tao said: "Miss Jade is outside Ganye Temple, you can trust me."
He took out the hairpin that Kunlun Jade gave him and handed it to the old man.
This old man is Kunlun Yu's father, Zhao Yebai.
When she came, Kunlun Yu also talked about her younger brother. Her younger brother was called Hei Yu Chong, but he only knew one name. He didn't know who Hei Yu Chong was specifically, and now was not the time to recognize her brother-in-law. .
Zhao Yebai looked at the hairpin that Ning Tao handed her. The vigilance and suspicion in the book suddenly disappeared a lot. He fisted and said, "I will never thank you for your kindness. It's the life-saving grace of Master Ning..."
Ning Tao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, holding the Eclipse Blade in his hand. With a wave, the handcuffs on Teru Yebai's hands broke with a click. With another wave, the shackles on Zhao Yebai's feet were broken.
A group of Kunlun slaves looked at Ning Tao with surprise and awe.
This is a real hero!
Ning Tao moved very quickly, breaking the shackles and handcuffs on all the Kunlun slaves in a blink of an eye, then jumped up to the cellar with his arms around Zhao Yebai's waist.
"Climb up, we have to get out of here quickly." Ning Tao said.
He only brought his father-in-law here, others did not get such preferential treatment.
The remaining nine Kunlun slaves, all young and strong, climbed up the ladder one after another, and then followed Ning Tao away.
