Although Bai Wufang was quite dissatisfied with Li Muye's forgetfulness, he had no reservations about the difficult problems of Brother Xiaoye and the special dispatch office, pointing out that it was caused by a special tree species formed by fungi. Fungi are the fastest growing plants in the world, and they are imperceptible to the roots of the mountains and forests on weekdays, as long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, they can emerge overnight, and even grow as big as a disc and like a monkey's head.

There are many wonders in the world, and there are tree people on the island of East Java in Indonesia, and a large number of bark-like tissues grow on their torsos, which are caused by this fungus. According to the characteristics of this fungus, the ancestors of the Celts invented a kind of witchcraft that grew overnight, hiding a tree seed in the body of a live pig, and then sealing this fungus into the body of the pig, and the pig was infected and turned into a tree.

People don't know the inside story, and they think it's strange and incredible, but it's the gods and demons.

After Bai Wufang explained the details, Li Muye and others finally knew the inside story. But it turned out that this Buddha Zeng Xiguo's so-called enlightenment on the Bodhi tree was like this. Figuring out this matter is tantamount to reassuring the staff of the relevant local departments. At least they are not guilty of sinning against the Buddha, the sin is unforgivable, not only will they definitely go to the hell after death, but they will also be connected with the evil people of the nine clans.

Li Muye didn't come to solve their doubts, he came to investigate Guo Li.

Zeng Xiguo's case is no longer important to Brother Ono, and the top priority is to find out the details of this Guo Li first.

This kind of thing is about finding people, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, one person has poor skills, and the special dispatch office has limited manpower, so it is still necessary to count on the relevant local departments who are clear about the local situation.

Although the special investigation office has the title of a certain ministry in the capital and has the power of life and death, and in principle can mobilize local public security and national security and other fraternal units to cooperate at any time, in actual work, if it only simply and rudely assigns superiors and subordinates to exercise power, the results will not be much better than conducting investigations themselves. People can't resist orders, but they can be duplicitous and handle errands.

Fortunately, Ye Hong is old and sophisticated, has a good relationship with the local relevant departments, and people will always spare no effort to cooperate. Brother Ono originally thought that Guo Li was a servant of the white dog and a friend of the red ape, with a different description and abnormal behavior, and it stands to reason that he should have been included in the sight of the relevant departments a long time ago. However, in fact, no information related to this person was found in the data of the local national security and public security departments.

I have been secretly visiting for several days in a row, but there is no news at all.

Li Muye was anxious, but he never said a word ugly.

The search for Guo Li is nowhere to go, but on the other hand, there has been some progress in investigating Zeng Xiguo.

Out of nowhere, a nursery rhyme became popular among children in the city, and it quickly spread to Lane 9 Street and 18 Alleys. It is rumored that this song was not sung by people first, but by a group of crows near the Taigong Temple. Whenever the moon is bright, there are crows to be too public, kicking the city and singing: the bright moon rises, the Buddha descends, Bodhi shows supernatural powers, the real dragon appears in the mouth of the river, the heavens give the Taiping Kingdom, and everyone corrects the fruit.

There is a feng shui gentleman named Qi Rulong in the city, after hearing this nursery rhyme, he went to visit the village where Zeng Xiguo lived before, and then took some villagers to the Qingshan Rock near the Taigong Temple.

At that time, the bright moon was in the sky, clear and clear, Qi Rulong took two villagers to climb the Qingshan Rock, and saw a few big characters laid out by the crows with tree branches, in the first year of peace, the Buddha country was prosperous! The three of them had just climbed the boulder, and they saw that these eight big characters suddenly caught fire inexplicably, but the ashes left behind were deeply imprinted on the boulder like a stone carving.

This Qi Rulong first took the villagers to worship three times and knock nine times, declaring that this is the will of God, Bodhi has shown miraculous powers to save the Buddha Zeng Xiguo, and when the real dragon appears in the Jiangkou, it is the time when the Taiping Buddha Kingdom is established. After talking about these dregs of feudal superstition, this guy went to the local public security organ to report the case again, and reported what happened there as it was.

These things spread rapidly among the people, and soon attracted the attention of the relevant local departments, and they were immediately fed back to Ye Hong.

Lao Ye came to Li Muye to discuss, saying that there was no progress in investigating Guo Li's affairs here, and instead of drilling into the horns of the bull like this, it was better to put some effort into the Zeng Xiguo incident first, maybe he could take the whole body and find clues related to Guo Li.

Li Muye also knew that he was a little emotional. In fact, her mother Chen Miao has a special identity, and she is a woman who is nearly sixty years old, although the other party tied her, it is unlikely that she will do anything excessive. Since they had set a time and place for them to meet, they would theoretically not touch her until then. Ye Hong was right, instead of staring at Guo Li, whose whereabouts were ethereal and he didn't even know the origin of Bai Wufang, it was better to start with this Zeng Xiguo incident, maybe he could dig out something valuable.

Ye Hong also said that this group of demons first concocted the miracle of giving birth to Bodhi overnight, and then used evil magic to spread the nursery rhyme of the advent of the Taiping Buddha Kingdom through the mouth of the crow, which is to make it clear that they want to do things in the region. And just under the nose of our special investigation office, if we can't quickly extinguish this evil fire, it will be really an embarrassing thing for the special investigation office.

He said it more tactfully, but the actual situation is that if we leave it unchecked, once we cause some kind of mass incident, it will cause rumors at home and abroad and cause international impact. It may even raise doubts about the value of the Special Investigation Office. If you encounter someone with power and heart to push for intervention, it is not impossible for the higher authorities to ban the special investigation office.

That Qi Rulong's initiative to report the case, in addition to discarding the relationship, also had some provocative implications.

Li Muye decided to temporarily stop the investigation of Guo Li, and instead focused his main efforts on the Taiping Buddha Kingdom and the crow word leaving the word incident. Brother Ono personally took Bai Qi to Qingshan Rock, and sure enough, he saw the eight big characters left by the Fire Crow Book of Heaven.

After watching it for a long time, Li Muye asked Bai Qi: "Have you ever heard of this trick?"

Although Bai Qi is young, he is famous after all, and he is no stranger to these rivers and lakes, and said: "This is the technique in the Xiaoyao Pavilion acrobatics, the mystery of the spontaneous combustion of the wooden stick is not difficult to solve, and the flammable metal powder is coated on it, and it will immediately burn up when it encounters a special reactive substance, producing a very high temperature, it is rare how to let the crow do this, as far as I know, the Xiaoyao Pavilion should not inherit such a trick." Crows are the smartest animals, and the best at training them is the feather insect master, if this group is really doing it, it is not difficult to get the crows to leave words. ”

There are five divisions of the Insect Division, which are the Sun Division, the Moon Division, the Feather Division, the Scale Division, and the Rat Division. Among them, the feather insect master is the best at training birds, and it is said that as long as there are feathers in the world, there is no one they will not train. When Li Muye saw the word Taiping, he immediately thought of Li Qizhi.

Li Qizhi is the chief military division of the Taiping Society and one of the military divisions of Nanhaimen. The Xintiandi Church he secretly founded had a big plan, and Liang Hongnong, the old demon of the Moon Division's insect master, was the old saint, and he also established a secret cooperative relationship with Xiaoyao Pavilion. The last time he was in Echeng, the special investigation office sabotaged his important plan there in its first attack, and they formed an endless bond with each other. For them, the special investigation office has become a thorn in the side.

Liang Hongnong has been trying to unify the five sects of the Insect Land Division, and maybe at this time, he has already taken the Yubu Insect Land Division under his command. The demons of Xiaoyao Pavilion have been doing Bodhi to show their magical powers for a night, and now the feather insect master has come to the fire crow to pass on the book of heaven, such an obvious clue, how can it not make Brother Ono suspect the former teacher?

If this Taiping Buddha Kingdom was created by Li Qizhi, then what is his purpose in doing this?

Is it just a retaliatory action against the Special Investigation Office? Combined with the disappearance of her mother, Chen Miao, it seems that this speculation is quite reliable.

Li Muye's mind was racing, and these thoughts were only momentary in his mind, and he quickly drew his attention back to his eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Good boy, knowledgeable." Then he asked, "What do you think about this case?"

Bai Qi said: "Isn't it time to visit this Qi Rulong?"

Li Muye said: "Lao Ye has already flown over with Yuan Quan and Ji Xue, I mean let's go to Taigong Temple to see if we can see those legendary crows." As he spoke, he walked away.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the two came to the vicinity of Jiangkou Taigong Temple.

It is located in the long and narrow section of the river mouth into the big lake, the terrain is dangerous, and the water flow is turbulent. This Taigong Temple has been repaired for I don't know how many years, and I don't know how many times it has been submerged in history, and it looks old and mottled. According to a briefing by a comrade from a local department, a local leader had planned to develop tourism around the steep and majestic landscape and renovate the Taigong Temple twice, but it was destroyed by the inexplicable rising river tide.

Since ancient times, there have been legends throughout the Gyeongju region about evil dragons haunting the water. In the early forties of the last century, there was even more unbelievable news. That year, the little devil was engaged in some kind of surveying and mapping scientific research in this area, and he got two large ironclad ships of several thousand tons to tinker on the river for a long time, but suddenly they all sank overnight. According to local elders, in the mid-to-late 40s, the government of the Republic of China cooperated with the United States to salvage the wreck of the devil here, but the result also ended in failure, and it also lost the more advanced diving equipment at that time. Some of the equipment can still be seen in the homes of local fishermen.

Some contemporary scholars who have studied the occult through scientific methods believe that this is a mysterious region located at 30 degrees north latitude. Deep underwater, there has always been a mysterious force that affects the entire region like the Bermuda Delta.

Li Muye and Bai got up to the front of the Taigong Temple, this inaccessible dilapidated small temple is the real body of the famous Taigong Temple. In order to develop local tourism resources, the local government department has built a magnificent temple for foreign tourists to visit in the relatively safe area downstream, which is also nominally called Taigong Temple, which is not at all involved here.

The small temple is not big, one in and three out of the square pattern, outside the main hall on both sides there are side halls and several meditation rooms. At first, the grandfather and son thought that there was no one in the temple, so they walked straight in, only to see that the main hall was dedicated to the eighty-year-old Jiang Taigong, who came out of the mountain to assist King Wen and turned against Xiqi, and was holding a fishing rod to do fishing on the riverside independently.

Li Muye suddenly heard the slight breathing sound in the side meditation room, realized that someone was practicing here, and just wanted to take Bai Qi over to visit, there was already footsteps in his ears, and the sound of opening the door was not long in his ears, and when he turned around, he saw a monk walking out of the meditation room, with white hair and white eyebrows, and dense longevity lines, looking very old, but the footsteps were as light as two taels of cotton. When he saw the two of them, he clasped his hands and said: "I heard the magpie making trouble on the branches this morning, but it turned out that there was a good guest coming to the door to rejoice. ”

Bai Qi frowned, glanced at Li Muye, half reminded and half curious, and said, "Uncle, this old master is so light-footed?"

Even he could see that this old monk was extraordinary, how could Brother Xiao Ye not see it, nodded at the moment, hugged his fist at Shenyun and returned the salute, and said according to the rules of the old rivers and lakes: "Li Muye, an outsider, traveled to the rivers and lakes with his nephew Baimen boy, passed through here, saw the temple magnificent, and the charm was extraordinary, so on a whim, he was uninvited to rejoice, if there is any disturbance, please forgive me." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Li and Bai Jialang. Monk Shenyun smiled when he heard this, and said: "People from all over the world, the world, where to talk about who bothers whom." Suddenly, he smiled, his eyes flashed, and he stared at Brother Xiaoye: "If the old monk is not clumsy, Mr. Li should be an official family, right?"
