Chapter 107: The corpse is strangely missing
To be on the safe side, Meng Fan still carefully inspected the room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The room was not big, and after checking it in a moment, he didn't find anything abnormal, and he couldn't even feel the gloomy aura, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly...... I think it's supposed to be that I've been experiencing a lot of strange things lately, and I'm a little nervous.
So he opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight filled the room, shining on the graceful figure of the brook, and the tiny specks of dust floating in the sunlight...... Suddenly I felt a lot better.
Seeing Xiaoxi lying on the bed like a sleeping beauty, Meng Fan had a warm smile on his face...... Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for two people in a room.
At this time, it was past noon, and everyone had not had time to eat...... Meng Fan couldn't bear to interrupt Xiaoxi's rest, took her downstairs, and together with Liu Erxie, found a restaurant nearby and had a light meal.
Because there are still things to do in the afternoon, and Liu Erxie can't stay in the city for too long...... So this lunch was more casual...... After the meal, Meng Fan sent Liu Xiaoxi back to the room, briefly taught her how to use the computer in the room to watch online dramas, and then went to Huyang with Liu Erxie to watch it......
Huyang Temple is not too far from the city, an hour's drive away, and the journey is also very smooth.
The Taoist temple was on the top of the mountain, and the car could not go up the mountain, so the two had to park the car in the parking lot and hike up the mountain. Of course, the body was also left in the car...... After informing Huyangguan, let them deal with it themselves.
Since it is "doing good deeds" on the surface, then there must also be a shelf.
Walk to the top of the mountain, you can roughly get a glimpse of the style of Huyang Temple, the whole Taoist temple occupies most of the top of the mountain, the layout is very magnificent, the floors are stacked, the green tile and Zhu eaves, exudes the simple style, and the smell of incense comes to the face, giving people a solemn feeling......
It's a pity that there are a lot of incense customers, and the bustling is like a busy city, which is quiet.
Entering the gate of Huyang Temple, you can see a large hall at a glance, there is a plaque hanging on it, the three characters of the palace of the spirit of the calligraphy, the font is strong, the pen walks the dragon and snake, obviously it is written by the calligraphy.
On the east and west sides of the Spirit Palace, there are Shifang Hall and Gatehouse.
The two did not know much about the situation of the Taoist temple, so they asked a Taoist priest who maintained the order of the pilgrims, and the Taoist priest only thought that the two were ordinary pilgrims, and brought the two into the gatehouse.
As soon as the porter inquired, when he heard the word corpse, his face changed slightly, and he reported it to the top again, and then they were taken into the Shifang Hall.
The duty of the Shifang Hall is to house the traveling Taoist priests, and now most of them are used to entertain visiting VIPs.
Meng Fan and Liu Erxie sat in Shifang Hall for a while, and then a middle-aged Taoist priest came, with a red face, tied his hair in a bun, and his face was also kind, and after sitting down, he introduced himself, it turned out to be a deacon of Shifang Hall, and after a general understanding of the situation, the deacon asked: "Why are you sure that Qifan is my disciple of Huyangguan this year? Can you wear the Taoist robe of my Huyangguan? Can you have my Huyangguan's refuge certificate, that is, Taoist certificate?"
“……”
This inquiry can make the two of them confused, and they didn't expect that the other party would directly come and refuse to admit it.
"I've never seen anything before. Meng Fan touched his nose playfully, "It's just that the Taoist priest named Nian Qifan once came to our village in a Taoist robe, saying that he was from Huyangguan, and later some villagers found him lying in the mountains inexplicably, and only then did they know that he was dead...... We happened to be in the city on an errand, and the village chief asked us to send the corpses......"
"Ridiculous!" the middle-aged deacon chuckled, "Huyang Guan is a grand view, and there are countless people who pretend to be disciples of my Huyang Guan, you haven't figured it out, don't just pull people to death on our mountain! Huyang Guan doesn't take this responsibility!"
"What about the car!" Liu Erxie was also a little confused, but there was still a hint of happiness in the confusion, "There is also a truck, and it is not your Taoist temple?"
"Of course not, the Taoist priests we watched don't drive when they go out for training. The middle-aged deacon sneered and said, "The Taoist temple is busy with affairs, if the two of you have nothing else to do, the poor Taoist will not be accompanied." ”
After saying that, he left straight away.
Meng Fan and Liu Erxie left the Taoist temple in such a daze, and halfway Liu Erxie asked: "Boss, could it be that Qifan was really pretending that year?"
"It's very simple to think about it......" Meng Fan looked back at the Huyang Temple, and a faint layer of incense smoke was enveloped over the Taoist Temple, and said, "The task that Qifan performed this year is not visible, and it is no wonder that the Huyang Temple will not admit it...... It's okay not to admit it, it saves trouble, anyway, our goal has been achieved. ”
The two chatted and went down the mountain, but after coming down the mountain, they found a strange thing.
Nian Qifan's corpse and the huge demonic head are gone!
"Boss...... This ......" Liu Erxie asked in shock, "Could it be that Nian Qifan saw home and ran back by himself!"
"Heh......" Meng Fan pouted and smiled, and said in a low voice, "It's obviously stolen." ”
"Who stole it?" Liu Erxie and the second monk were puzzled, "Didn't they admit it!"
"We can't take care of it now, maybe people were embarrassed just now, didn't the car give it to us, let's go!"
With that, the two drove towards the city......
At the same time, in a side hall of Huyang Temple, another conversation was taking place, and the atmosphere was a little calm......
"Lord, Nian Qifan is dead, and the body was found by the villagers of Mengjiazhuang and sent to us...... Moreover, Shangguan Xingzhi's whereabouts are also unknown, and there is no news...... I'm afraid I'm dead. ”
The middle-aged deacon stood respectfully on one side...... In front of him, sat a white-haired old man, who had his back to him and couldn't see his face clearly.
"Two wastes. The old man said in a cold tone, "How did the matter go?"
"Naturally, I didn't admit it, and there was no such person in Daoguan...... I'm afraid that these two mountain people sent the corpses over to make some benefits. The middle-aged deacon replied, and then said, "Moreover, I have erased the names of Nian Qifan and Shangguan Xingzhi from the roster of Taoist temples. ”
"That's fine. The white-haired old man nodded, "Let's get the body back too...... Find out the cause of death. ”
"Before the disciple met them, he had already arranged for someone to do it, and there would be news soon. ”
Just as the middle-aged deacon was speaking, a young Taoist priest ran in and said in a panic, "Lord, deacon, there is no body in the car......
"Uh......" The middle-aged deacon was stunned for a moment, and then said to the young Taoist priest in a deep voice, "Something is wrong, you find a few disciples to follow the car, find a convenient place to start, and tie the person back, I will interrogate it carefully." ”
The young Taoist priest nodded, and then withdrew.
"We are looking at the tiger and the sun...... The wind and rain are restless. ”
The white-haired old man muttered a word, and then meditated on himself, ignoring the middle-aged deacon......
Seeing this, the middle-aged deacon didn't say anything anymore, and bowed out, showing a gloomy look on his face......
After Meng Fan and Liu Erxie entered the city, it was the rush hour at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the traffic on the street was jammed, and it was already dark when they arrived at the hotel......
"Boss, I won't delay, there are too many strips to patrol at night, I'll go first. ”
Because he was afraid of being caught, Liu Erxie didn't dare to stay any longer, said goodbye to Meng Fan, and chose a secluded path and drove outside the city.
When he came out this time, in addition to worrying about being caught, he was still very beautiful in his heart...... After all, getting a truck for nothing is much better than the walk-behind tractor at home.
But what he never expected was that when the car just turned into an alley, something happened...... (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
