Although there is a big Buddha in front of him, it is already dark, and it is on this remote path. If someone really has a bad intention, what can happen to the Buddha statue in front of him?

Although the Buddha can kill demons and demons, he has no way to deal with people with bad intentions. Although the Buddha can cross thousands of people, he does not cross the people who have no fate. If this person only has demons in his heart, there is no Buddha. Then, how to slay demons, and how to kill people.

"What person!" Cao Xingzhou shouted, turned around suddenly, took a step back, and made a move in one go.

Drinking loudly is to deter the other party, and retreating is to prevent a sneak attack.

Seeing the person clearly, Cao Xingzhou knew that it was a false alarm.

Standing in front of me was a monk, about 50 years old, with a newly shaved brain, dressed in an earthy yellow robe, with a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, and a lamp in his left hand.

Although the lamp is not big, it is the kind of LED lighting, which allows Cao Xingzhou to see the other party very clearly.

Judging from the physiognomy, the monk is loyal and honest, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a bad person.

I saw the monk salute with one hand and asked, "Donor, it's not early, do you come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha?"

"Yes, I have encountered some unpleasant things recently, and I hope to enter the temple to burn incense and ask the Buddha to bless me. ”

"Donor, there are several temples and Taoist temples in this city, why don't you go anywhere, but choose a small temple like mine. ”

When Cao Xingzhou heard this, he was happy.

"It's so interesting for the master to speak, others build temples in the hope that a large number of pilgrims will come to incense and donate incense oil. You, on the contrary, seem unwilling to let anyone else come. ”

When the monk heard this, his face changed slightly. But fortunately, it was already dark, and Cao Xingzhou didn't notice this subtle expression.

I saw the monk fiddle with the Buddha beads and said with a smile: "Wherever the donor says, I naturally hope that many people will come to burn incense and worship the Buddha." But my temple has just been built, and many supporting facilities are not yet available, and the black lights are blind at night, which makes it inconvenient for the pilgrims. ”

When Cao Xingzhou heard it, what the monk said was also that this black light was blinding. If a believer comes to offer incense with hope, but sees this scene, he is sure that he will not come again in the future.

"I just took a look, this temple is very small, where does the master live?" Finding that the incense was hopeless, Cao Xingzhou had to find two topics casually to kill the embarrassment and leave.

"Oh, yes, I'm not far from here, and there's a little house for me to live in. ”

"I see, then I won't disturb the master's rest. After speaking, Cao Xingzhou turned around and left.

On the way back, Cao Xingzhou was driving and thinking, this monk is so familiar, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.

Forget it, I've been busy these days, and I've already had a nervous breakdown, maybe it's my own crankiness.

Saying that on the side of the temple, after seeing Cao Xingzhou leaving, the monk hurriedly ran to the temple, turned on the lights, and turned around the big Buddha twice, and found that there was no situation, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw him walk in front of the Buddha, kneel down and kowtow three times very reverently: "Buddha, I know that I have sins in this life, and I will go to hell after death." I only hope that the Buddha can bless my son and spend the rest of his life safely. ”

After that, the monk began to kowtow again.

"It is better to seek the Buddha than to seek oneself. The Buddha can't bring your son back to life, but I can. The voice came from behind the monk. The one who spoke stood behind the monk.

The monk stopped kowtowing, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.

"I know, but it's been bought for countless lives. ”

The man behind him: "You know, in this world, there is nothing that does not need to be paid for a comeback." When a person lives, he is provided for by thousands of living beings. When you die, your physical body will also provide for all things. ”

Halfway through the man's speech, he didn't talk to the monk about the religious theory of cause and effect of killing, but began to discuss the matter: "Today's situation, I think some people have begun to doubt, and we must act quickly. ”

"But ......" the monk hesitated a little: "Now that the police are staring at it, I'm afraid ......"

The man said indifferently, "Whatever you want." I can wait, you can wait, but your son can't. ”

As soon as he heard the man say, the monk immediately shook his whole body, quickly stood up, turned around and said, "I'll do it, I'll go." ”

After the monk left, a strange smile crept up on the man's face, and at the same time, disappeared into the darkness.

Pay attention to the temple, not only Cao Xingzhou. His daughter, Cao Linyue, also noticed the temple.

It's just that he cares about this temple for the same reasons as his father. She didn't want to worship the Buddha, but she felt suspicious.

First of all, the layout of the temple is very strange. Such a big Buddha, but only such a small temple.

It would not be strange to build a temple in the middle of nowhere. As long as there is good publicity in the future, plus some investment, it should be able to develop well.

But it is contrary to common sense to create such a big Buddha in the first place.

There is also the timing of the construction of the temple, as well as publicity.

According to the description in the newspaper, this big Buddha is one of the best in the entire DJ city. But judging from the photos, there is no one around the temple, as if from the beginning, it was not expected that others would know.

It is somewhat unreasonable to cast such a large Buddha statue, but the report is only a two-inch picture. It seems that there is a deliberate request to keep the story as small as possible.

There is also the timing of the completion of the temple. It happened to be at the time of the homicide.

At that time, it was the time when all the media were competing to report on the case, and the temple was completed at this time. If it weren't for such a coincidence, it would be ......

Thinking of this, Cao Linyue couldn't help but feel shocked, and goosebumps broke all over her body.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the change in his girlfriend, Chen Tao hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's about the case, I found a little clue, but I think it's too unbelievable. ”

"What's the weird?"

So, Cao Linyue told Chen Tao what she thought in her heart.

"Have you told your father this? ”

"These are all things that I just thought of, and I haven't said it yet. Moreover, this is just speculation, there is no evidence. If he guessed wrong, my dad went over and pounced, which made him unnecessarily responsible. After all, there are now more people who believe in ghosts and gods than ever before. ”

"So what to do. ”

Cao Linyue's eyes moved lightly and said, "What do you say?" ”

"No, it's too dangerous. ”

"With you, what ......are you afraid of?"

Damn, I'm not omnipotent. Chen Tao whispered in his heart.

Although Chen Tao wanted to refuse, he couldn't withstand Cao Linyue's stalking. In the end, you can only give in.

On this day, it's really weird.

A few days ago, it was like summer, and people couldn't wait to blow the air conditioner at home.

It's only Friday, and it's suddenly getting cold, and it looks like it's going to rain tomorrow.

Putting on her backpack, Cao Linyue put her hand on the pergola, looked at the sky, and said to herself: "This kind of weather is suitable for exploration." ”

Today, neither she nor Chen Tao had classes, so they decided to put on a travel bag and pretend to be a couple going on an outing, but they were actually visiting the temple.

"Why is it daytime today? Isn't it usually at night when cases are investigated?"

"You've watched too many detective films, it's dark at night, we don't have tools, and we don't have lighting facilities, how can we check. Tomorrow is a Saturday and Sunday, although the temple is in the middle of nowhere, but there is still a village around, if someone uses the rest time to go to the temple to burn incense, how can we check. ”

Chen Tao couldn't say anything about her, so he had to follow her.

In other words, this Cao Linyue didn't look like investigating the case at all, he was just here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

In autumn, the leaves fall and the earth is depressed. In addition, the weather is gloomy, overcast clouds, and the originally cool wind blows on people, but it inexplicably gives goosebumps.

Sitting on the minibus, looking at the changing houses and trees outside the window, listening to the passengers on the bus chatting for a while, but it was another fun.

Looking at it, Cao Linyue's eyes were blurry under visual fatigue, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.

By the time Chen Tao woke her up, the car had already arrived at the station. The people in the car were saluting and walking down.

Cao Linyue stretched, just stood up, and immediately went back.

I sat for too long and my legs were numb.

Helpless, he could only be supported by Chen Tao and get out of the car.

After resting for a while, the two continued to set off towards their goal.

Since the temple was still some distance from here, the two had to put on their backpacks and walk on this desolate road. The road is poor, raised stones, hollow potholes. Several times, it almost made Cao Lin Yuewei to his feet.

"There must be something wrong with this temple. I don't know if this is Cao Linyue's judgment, or if he is angry because the road is difficult to walk.

"Why are you so sure?" Chen Tao handed over a peeled orange.

"You see that all around are bare stone mountains, there is no aura at all, how can there be a temple built on such a poor mountain and bad water. ”

"Yo, I can't see that you can still see what a poor mountain and bad water are. ”

"That is, although I don't know how to put any Qimen Dunjia formations, I still have the ability to look at feng shui at all. ”

"Yes, this is really a place with extremely poor feng shui, whether it is to build a yang house or repair a yin house, it is extremely inappropriate. The only way to do this is to set up those yin and evil formations. ”

Hearing Chen Tao say this, Cao Linyue's eyes immediately lit up: "You mean, there may be people here who set up a formation to harm people." ”

It seems that this Cao Linyue, like He Wuxi, has just entered the edge of the supernatural world, and wants to find an opportunity to see and understand.

"I mean, it's a great place to use evil spells, but not necessarily somebody will actually use them. You know, even you, a beginner, can see it, and those masters can't see it. Maybe they've already made arrangements for the purpose of preventing others from arranging evil spells. Perhaps, that big Buddha is the formation arranged by a certain Buddhist master. ”

Talking and laughing, the two of them unconsciously turned from this small road to the avenue.

The scenery on both sides is no longer the same as just now. In addition to artificial vegetation, there is also post-harvest farmland and a greenhouse dedicated to growing flowers.

Turning an intersection, in the distance, Chen Tao saw a small temple, lonely on a bare yellow earth.

As you walk towards the temple, you observe your surroundings.

This temple was built either by coincidence or deliberately.

The surrounding environment is extremely desolate, and it is also a place where yin energy gathers.

Although the yin qi here is not very strong, if it is used by someone with a heart, it will still cause a lot of trouble.

But with the big Buddha in the temple guarding it, you can suppress the evil spirit around you. If this is the case, the person who built the temple should not be a bad person.

When they walked to the temple, the two felt that this temple was indeed very small, and this Buddha was too big.

Walking into the temple and observing the Buddha carefully, Chen Tao frowned.

"Amitabha, two little donors, poor monks are polite. ”

Seeing that the abbot of the temple was coming, Chen Tao also hurriedly returned a salute.

Cao Linyue was carefully observing this temple, and was startled by the monk who suddenly appeared.

But he quickly recovered and returned the salute.

"Are the two donors here to worship the Buddha and burn incense?" the old monk asked lightly.

"I didn't come to burn incense on purpose, I originally wanted to come to the suburbs with my friends to play, but I didn't expect such a big Buddha here. Cao Linyue said playful and relaxed, no one could hear it, this was a lie she said.

On the contrary, Chen Tao, because of his long-term cultivation, was able to talk to the old monk.

Cao Linyue listened to them playing meditation on the sidelines and felt a little bored.

"I'll look somewhere else. ”

Regardless of the reaction of the other two, they ran out alone.

After chatting for a while, half an hour has passed.

At this time, seeing Cao Linyue walking back, the old monk said: "I still have something to do elsewhere, so I won't bother the two donors, please take care of yourself." With that, he turned and left.

Behind him, I only heard Chen Tao ask, "How are the surroundings?"

"It's not fun, it's all a wasteland, and not even a single wildflower grows. ”

"Don't pick wildflowers on the roadside. ”

Cao Linyue replied casually: "If you don't pick white, you won't pick it." ”

Chen Tao: "Then I'll pick it casually in the future." ”

"How dare you ......"

At this time, the old monk was already gone.

I saw Chen Tao take another look at the Buddha statue and ask Cao Linyue: "Since there is nothing interesting here, let's leave." ”

On the way back, Cao Linyue had already lost her backpack to Chen Tao.

"I don't spend as much time here as I do on the road. ”

"Come on, everything is on me, what do you have to complain about. ”

"I brought so many utensils and food, but I didn't use anything. ”

Tucao: Go to the temple and the homicide case, you bring a lot of tableware and food, what kind of trouble is this, if you use it, it's wrong.

"We can dine now, too. ”

"Forget it, when I was investigating the case just now, I saw a stagnant pond, and the smell in it made me still sick to my stomach. Cao Linyue rubbed her lower abdomen and said.

"However, judging from the subtle expressions on your face, I think you should be very rewarding. ”

"Yes, it's different from what I originally thought, but it turned out to be true, those missing wanderers, it is very likely that after being killed, the corpses will be left here. ”

"What! You said the corpse was here. Chen Tao asked in surprise.

Cao Linyue hurriedly covered his mouth, looked left and right, and then whispered: "This is my guess, the specific situation, I have to go to investigate, I know." ”

"Where the body is, we'll find out now. ”

Cao Linyue: "If I'm not mistaken, the body should be in the backwater pool I just went to." But you can't go now, you have to wait until the evening. ”

"Are you really sure? Don't be mistaken. ”

"At first, I thought the bodies would be hidden in the Buddha statues. But then I thought about it, even if the Buddha is hollow, once it is built, if it kills people again, what will happen to those corpses? Even if there is a secret door behind the big Buddha, how many people can it hold. So, I looked around and saw that there was a large backwater pool that stenched all year round. I looked around the waterhole and saw car prints on the edges, indicating that someone had driven into it and dumped something inside. Not so long ago, temples were being built here, so the bodies were packed into sacks and tied with construction waste. When you fall into the waterhole like this, you don't know it. As soon as the news of this incident passed, the body was salvaged and disposed of again. ”

After Cao Linyue's analysis, Chen Tao understood.

"Then you go back first, and I'll explore that backwater pool in the evening." ”

"No, it's too dangerous. Cao Linyue immediately vetoed.

"Don't worry, I've been practicing spells for more than ten years. Besides, I didn't let you go back and wait for news, I didn't care about anything. You go back and tell your uncle about it, and ask him to bring someone to arrest the murderer. ”

Although he was reluctant to leave, what Chen Tao said made a lot of sense.

Cao Linyue is not a brainless person, she has no combat effectiveness, and staying is just a burden. The present proposal is the most appropriate.
