Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 137: Training room?
Swish…
There was a rustling sound in the dark passage. Xu Zun and Huo Anu dragged the unconscious Taoist priest deeper into the passage, trying to find a place to hide him.
But unexpectedly, there was a downward staircase behind the passage, and there was no other space.
What the hell?
Xu Zun calculated silently and felt that the staircase in front of him should correspond to the one outside. The Moon-Watching Tower seemed to be separated by about one third.
However, the stairs in front of me can only go down and not up, so doesn't this mean I have to go down again?
It goes up and down, isn't it weird?
"Sir, what should we do?" Huo Anu asked, "Should we go down?"
As they were talking, the two of them looked down and saw lights on every floor below the stairs, as well as the sounds of people walking around and talking.
Damn it, let’s fight!
Xu Zun gritted his teeth and made a downward gesture towards Huo Anu.
The two men shoved the unconscious Taoist priest into the shadows and crept down the stairs.
After they went down one floor, they found that just as Xu Zun had guessed, from the fifth floor downwards, each floor of the Moon-Watching Tower was separated into a separate space.
There are also certain rules for building towers in the Xuan Dao. Generally, only Taoist temples of relatively high standards are qualified to build towers, with the intention of absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon and deterring demons from all directions.
There are theories that it has seven layers and eight corners, or nine layers and twelve corners.
However, the Moon-Watching Tower in Qinglan Temple is an extremely rare seven-story ten-cornered pagoda, and each floor has a maze-like corridor.
As a result, people entering the tower will not be able to clearly identify the space and directions.
It seems...
This made Xu Zun think that perhaps this place had been designed as a secret space since the day the temple was built?
From this we can see that the master of Qinglan Temple has big problems!
Taoist Qinglan, what exactly are you going to do?
The fourth floor is a row of rooms, and you can see that there are people living in the rooms. And you can tell at a glance that they are all men!
These people were all dressed as Taoists, and they were all young and strong. It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary people.
Xu Zun and the other man did not dare to stop and continued walking down the stairs.
The second, third and fourth floors are almost the same, except that the space is larger. There is a spacious hall inside, where you can see people practicing breathing and qigong, and some people pushing hands with each other...
So many?
Xu Zun was secretly shocked. Could it be that Qinglan Temple was a temple for keeping men? How could it keep so many young men?
However, seeing how seriously they are practicing martial arts, they don’t look like they are being kept by someone, right?
Xu Zun took a quick glance but still couldn't find Luo Yu.
The two were just about to continue checking downstairs when unexpectedly someone came up the stairs.
It was a little Taoist priest holding a wooden basin and wearing a towel.
The stairs are narrow and there is no escape or hiding.
The young Taoist priest was quite polite. When he saw Xu Zun and the other two coming down, he moved sideways to make way for them.
Xu Zunyun took a deep breath and had to bite the bullet and pass by him with Huo Anu.
Huo Anu turned his face to the corner to prevent this person from seeing his appearance.
But at such a close distance, it was impossible for the little Taoist priest to be unaware, and he looked at Huo Anu with great curiosity!
Although the lighting here is dim and Huo Anu is tall, she is a woman after all, and can be seen through at a glance.
“Ouch…”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Zun pretended to lose his balance and actually fell on the little Taoist priest!
"Brother, be careful!" The young Taoist priest hurriedly supported him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Anu quickly jumped past Xu Zun.
"Have you heard? There's a fire outside," Xu Zun said after he stood up to attract the little Taoist's attention, "You better be careful !"
“Oh, oh…”
The young Taoist priest had obviously discovered that he did not know Xu Zun.
However, judging from the tone of Xu Zun's voice, he didn't have time to question anything.
Xu Zun imitated Xuan Dao's salute gesture, crossed his fingers and saluted the little Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest hurriedly bowed to return the greeting, but because he was holding a wooden basin in his hand, he could only return the greeting with one hand.
At the moment when the little Taoist priest bowed, Xu Zun and the other two had already gone down to the first floor like the wind and left far away.
Tsk tsk…
The young Taoist smacked his lips and frowned, still unable to remember who Xu Zun was? Helplessly, he shook his head and went upstairs...
The space on the first floor is obviously larger and is obviously a place for washing and going to the bathroom.
At this moment, two Taoists were washing inside. Xu Zun and Huo Anu didn't know the situation, so they had to hide behind a pile of dirty clothes.
"Oh my... how long are we going to have to endure this damn life?" A Taoist priest who was washing up complained, "Think about how comfortable our life is in Chongtian Temple. We can even go to the training room. Tsk tsk... I wonder if there are any new people there?"
Um?
After hearing this person speak, Xu Zun and Huo Anu immediately understood something. It turned out that these people also came from Chongtian Temple?
Moreover, from what this person said, they did not know that Chongtian Temple had been raided.
oh……
Xu Zun suddenly thought, aren't there many disappeared abbots in Chongtian Temple? Could it be that the Taoists hidden here are all former abbots of Chongtian Temple?
I heard from Xu Jinhu that those who can become the Taoist priests have high martial arts skills and good qualifications. Could it be... these are the people?
After screening in Chongtian Temple, will it be sent here?
call……
Xu Zun gradually realized that the secrets behind this matter were beyond his imagination.
"Yeah," said another Taoist who was washing his hair, "I miss the training room too! I don't know why Dean Luo insisted on letting us live in this damn place. There are a bunch of pretty Taoist nuns around us, but we can't touch any of them. Really..."
"What's this?" The one who had been there whispered when he saw that there was no one around. "You may not know yet? Right below us is a paradise on earth!"
"Oh?" The Taoist priest was puzzled. "What do you mean? What paradise on earth? Isn't the bottom of the tower the bottom?"
"Oh, you still don't know!" said the Taoist priest, "Didn't you smell the fragrance when you were sleeping? Before we came, this place was the practice room of Qinglan Temple!"
"Go to hell! Are you crazy?" the Taoist priest who was washing hair cursed, "This is a Taoist temple. They are women. If there is a training room, it should be for us grown men!"
"Well, what do you know?" said the Taoist priest, "I came here with the dean, a few days earlier than you, and I saw everything!
"The place where we live up here used to be inhabited by beautiful girls. Oh, they were so beautiful, not just ordinary beautiful, I don't even know how to describe it!"
"Really?" The shampooer didn't even bother to wash his hair when hearing this, and asked hurriedly, "Do Taoist nuns also keep women to practice martial arts? To nourish yin and replenish yin?"
"Who knows?" The Taoist priest joked, "If you don't believe it, then open the lock and go down to see for yourself!"
"Why do I feel that what you said is so unreliable?" The shampooer didn't believe it. "Under the tower is a basement. Are those beautiful girls you mentioned really living in the dark underground?
"We have built a separate house for them in Chongtian Temple!"
"You are stupid," said the one who was washing up, "Didn't they live underground only after we arrived? Can't they come up again after we leave?
"If you don't believe me, just lie on the door in the middle of the night and listen to see if you can hear the girls' voices..."
"I'm sick, am I?" the man washing hair said angrily, "Even if he heard it, what would happen? Not only would I not be able to eat, but I might even be punished if the dean found out!"
"That's right," said the man who was washing his clothes, "We all work for them, so we don't dare to ask. But you really don't know how beautiful those girls are..."
