The young monk did not stay in the courtyard for long, and after handing over to Zheng Minda, he boarded the business car parked outside the door with his fellow monks and left directly. Only Zheng Minda and Gu Yaopan remained in the small courtyard.

"Okay, can you tell us more about what happened this time? Rong is not very detailed, I think we need to know more about it. ”

Tao Mengchu looked at Gu Yaopan's face, turned his head and said to Zheng Minda.

"Come into the house and talk. Zheng Minda looked at the distant car shadow outside the small courtyard, and replied without looking back.

The living room was not big, Mrs. Zhu left after sending tea, leaving only Mr. Zhu to accompany Zheng Minda and Gu Yaopan, and the fragrance of tea created a comfortable and comfortable atmosphere in a few rooms, but the four people present were not in a good mood.

Gu Yaopan took a sip of tea, Tao Mengchu also drank the same, and both of them were waiting for Zheng Minda to speak.

"I got the news about this two weeks ago. Zheng Minda turned the tea cup in his hand, and seemed to be thinking about how to phrase it.

"The problem is a small village in the middle of Songshan and Zhengzhou, which belongs to the Wuduling Mountains, with a permanent population of more than 300 people, but as you know, the young people in the village are basically working outside, and there are only some old people and children left, so the population of the village is now about 100 people. ”

Speaking of which, Zheng Minda's face became more and more difficult to look at, as if he remembered something bad, and Mr. Zhu's appearance didn't look very good, Gu Yaopan keenly noticed the change in the faces of the two, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at Tao Mengchu imperceptibly, and just met his gaze, and both of them had some bad premonitions in their hearts.

"Three weeks ago, there were children lost in the village, three days after reporting to the local police station, the body of the child was found on Wuduling, the death was very tragic, at first the police station thought it was a beast attack to close the case, but in the next week, there were several such incidents, and even adults were missing, and they could be found on the third day, so that in a row, basically people disappeared every day, and missing people were found every day. During this time, there were no less than ten missing people, whether adults or children, all of them were torn apart and died miserably, so that the matter became big, and the people in the village were panicked, and many old people with their children tried to leave the village to find young people in the city to work. ”

When he said this, Zheng Minda took a breath and continued:

"But here's the problem...... In the second week, one more policeman from the police station came out, and since a week ago, even the two criminal policemen from the people's police and the criminal investigation brigade have been trapped in this village, and this monk was found outside the village last night, and the only one who came out was like this when he was found. ”

Having said this, Zheng Minda took a long breath, and the expression on his face was very solemn.

"As soon as it was found that the people in the village could not get out, the armed police had been arranged outside the village to guard and no longer allow people to enter. ”

"Why can't you get out?" Tao Mengchu looked at Zheng Minda and asked strangely.

"Two weeks ago, when I knew the news, I went to the village to see, at that time I only felt that the whole village seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of fog, but it is normal for the mountains to have fog, I didn't care at the time, and I went with the Zen disciples to stay in the village directly, even if I took over the handling of this matter, I didn't stay long, came back to make a record of this matter, but after a week the Zen disciples have not come back, I was a little surprised, and when I went to the village again, I found that the whole village has been shrouded in a thick fog, and I can only hear the voices and shouts of the people in the village, but I can't see people coming out。 ”

Having said this, Zheng Minda hugged his head dejectedly, Gu Yaopan and Tao Mengchu could see Zheng Minda's self-blame, if it wasn't for the fact that he had always been used to leaving things to Zen Buddhism to solve, he wouldn't have taken a week to see the situation, and maybe things wouldn't have developed like this.

But this can't be blamed on him, Henan is also one of the ancestral courts of Zen Buddhism, the prosperity of Buddhism here is the number one in the country, and the special affairs department was established not long ago, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and it is understandable that such a thing will happen.

It's just that things have developed to this extent, and Gu Yaopan's plan to rest for a while is about to fail, and now they can only rush to the village in a race against time, and the sooner they arrive, the sooner they can rescue the people in the village.

"That's right. Tao Mengchu, who stood up and was about to go out, suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Zheng Minda and said, "What are the names of those Zen disciples who went with you?"

"One is called Hengfa, the other is called Hengchang, the one you see today is called Hengchang, and the other is a lay disciple named Shi Dejing. ”

Zheng Minda hesitated for a moment before he said the names of the three Zen disciples, and then saw Tao Mengchu's face change.

"Sure enough, with him, can't this guy stop a little?" Tao Mengchu looked at Gu Yaopan with some headaches.

No wonder Lin Qianqian couldn't contact him. Gu Yaopan raised his eyebrows.

As soon as this happened, she had a premonition that Shi Dejing was involved, and as she expected, she just didn't know what Shi Dejing's situation was now. Thinking about his Buddha beads that had been blessed for a long time, Gu Yaopan's heart was still inclined that he would be fine.

Wuduling is not too far from Zhengzhou, it is only a hundred kilometers away, if it is in the plain area, the last highway will be at most an hour to arrive, but it is different when entering the mountain, Zheng Minda's off-road vehicle ran for nearly three hours, and only arrived at their destination at dawn.

As soon as the off-road vehicle arrived at the periphery of Chenjia Village, it was only when a car shadow was dangled by the edge of the field that had returned to Qingqing, the armed police on duty greeted them, checked the documents of Zheng Minda and the three of them, and saluted the three of them with a standard military salute, and then let Zheng Minda drive into the range of Chenjia Village.

As soon as he entered the scope of Chenjia Village, Gu Yaopan lowered the car window and looked at the white mist gradually rising outside the window.

This layer of fog is very strange, the closer it is to the end of Chenjia Village, the thicker it becomes, as if something is spitting out, surging towards the village layer by layer, and I don't know why, the village is silent at this time, and even the sound of insects cannot be heard, let alone the barking of human dogs.

"It was so quiet. Tao Mengchu took out the compass from his backpack, only to see the pointer turning wildly on the compass.

"I asked the armed police who sent Master Heng Chang over, and they said that they could still hear the voices of the villagers, but it seemed to be a little less, and this situation has not happened today. ”

Zheng Minda's eyes were staring at the front tightly, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and if he drove forward for a while, he was afraid that he would stop.
