259. Chapter 259 02 The Secret of Guanyin Temple [1]

Yelu Chunan swears that he and his sister had telepathy and could find her. However, now in Ruixue's body is Ning Ling's soul. The so-called telepathy has actually disappeared. It is not easy to find it. Although Ruixue informed him that he was in Xixia before, when Chu Nan brought people to Xixia, Ning Ling and Ruixue set out to Song State to look for Yin-Yang Mirrors three days before he arrived in Xixia. By chance, Chu Nan and Ruixue missed each other.

In order to catch up with Ruixue and the others as soon as possible, Chu Nan led Xiao Shan and others to travel overnight. That night, they arrived at a place called "Linjiang City". Because it was getting late, when the group was about to find an inn to stay, they found that all the inns in the city were full. After asking, they found that the three-year "Hundred Flowers Festival" was held in the city.

The so-called "Hundred Flowers Festival" does not mean appreciating flowers, but the selection of concubines by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty once every three years. The beauties of the entire Song Dynasty gather here. After layers of screening of officials sent by the emperor, they go to Bianjing and choose them by the emperor. If they are selected and named as concubines, they will be "one person will attain the power, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven." If they are favored by the emperor and give birth to a dragon son, they will be rich and have no worries about food and clothing.

Therefore, whether it is a wealthy family, an official family or an ordinary family, any daughter who is already in the family and beautiful, will come to run for the election with ardent hope. Even if it is not a matter of losing the election, it will still be pointed out to the ministers in the court. They will be rich and prosperous and will not have any worries in their lives.

There are too many people who run for the election, which naturally leads to a shortage of inn rooms.

"Several guests, I'm really sorry! There are really no extra guest rooms in the store." The shopkeeper kept bowing to Chu Nan and laughing.

"Young Master, what should I do now?" Xiao Shan asked in Chu Nan's ear.

Chu Nan frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "Boss, are there any other places to stay nearby, temples and temples."

The boss thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is a Guanyin Temple halfway up the mountain three miles after leaving the city, but..." He looked embarrassed. "In recent years, women's crying sounds have often been heard in the Guanyin Temple. People passing by have seen female ghosts floating around..." Speaking of this, he looked around nervously, lowered his voice, but his tone was filled with fear. "What's even more strange is that young girls who go where to incense will disappear inexplicably, without seeing anyone in their lives or without seeing corpses."

"Oh, don't the government ignore it?"

"Why don't you care? The government has been investigating for a long time, but it can't be found out. In addition, the missing person is not someone with status, so it ends up leaving nothing. The temple is on the surface of the quiet place of Buddhism, but in fact it is a place where dirt is hidden. But the other party is hiding very deeply. I heard that there is a big backer behind it, so the government has no choice but to deal with them. Alas..." Speaking of this, the boss sighed long, "If Princess Xuelian is still there, how great it would be! She would never allow such a dirty place to exist. Unfortunately, her beauty is poor and there is no one in the world to seek justice for the wronged."

‘Princess Xuelian’! Chu Nan raised his eyebrows slightly. Isn’t that the title his mother had in the Song Dynasty before?

He was about to speak when the boss suddenly said, "Two girls came here yesterday. After hearing about the Guanyin Temple, he ignored my dissuasion and insisted on going and checking out."

"What?" Chu Nan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "What kind of girl is it? Please inform the boss?"

"They claim to be sisters, but my sister has been covering her face with a white gauze. That little girl is about teenagers." The boss recalled and said, "It's a pity that the woman in white has left. If she runs for this 'Hundred Flowers Banquet', I believe that all the women who came to run for this election this time will be out of the way." Although he never saw the appearance of the woman in white from beginning to end, through the layer of gauze, he could vaguely feel that she must be a beautiful woman who is charming in the country.

"What does that little girl look like?" Chu Nan asked anxiously, could it be Ruixue and the others?
