Chapter 162: Sanguan Temple
readx;
Hearing what Chen Taiyuan said, the head wolf also began to feel strange - yes, why did Jianguozi's own dog bite him?
If it was a dog just raised, it would have been forgotten, but this dog had been raised by his family for many years, otherwise Jianguozi's wife would not have such affection for dogs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info A dog that has been raised for a few years has suddenly started barking at its owner recently?
This is very abnormal.
And Chen Taiyuan also said that dogs are very spiritual, and can smell and even feel many subtle things.
"For example, this master has changed!" Chen Taiyuan said sullenly, "If Jianguozi used to be an ordinary person, but now he suddenly becomes a dark species, or even something similar to a zombie, do you say, will his dog bite him?"
If someone else hears this, they may shudder with fear. And the head wolf himself is such a person, so he feels very normal, and nods: "Yes, it's really possible." For example, if I used to have a dog and later became a werewolf, that dog might bite me when it saw me. ”
As for the side of the crowd just now, there was indeed a big wolf dog. If their own dogs are disgusted with Jianguozi, then the big wolf dog passing by may hate Jianguozi even more, so it is reasonable to want to attack him.
Although any dark breed can easily strangle a dog, as a guy who has been afraid of dogs for half his life, it is estimated that he will instinctively get nervous when he sees a vicious dog grinning at himself. In this way, Chen Taiyuan would also be able to sense the supernatural ability he urged.
All speculation is logical.
Then there is nothing to hesitate about now, let's find Jianguozi first. Of course, he must not make a big fuss, so as not to disturb him by causing a major disturbance. Now, this is the only clue that Chen Taiyuan can grasp.
However, don't want to find any surveillance in this kind of place, and if you want to search for this kind of guy with unknown attack power, you can't blindly dispatch ordinary police officers, if you don't do it, the casualties will be too great. So Chen Taiyuan found Yuan Dasheng, and he and the head wolf each took a few elite police officers to search. As a supernumerary expert and scholar, Chen Taiyuan was inconvenient to lead the police force, so he hid in the team of the head wolf, and it was reasonable to say it. The reason for this distribution is because the main target of the other party is the head wolf, isn't it?
Start in the direction of the crowd just now and follow in two possible directions to the rear. One road is in the direction of Jianguozi's house, which is very unlikely to be handed over to Yuan Dasheng, and the other road is headed by the wolf with three police officers, plus a Chen Taiyuan. Two of the three policemen are from the Operations Department of the 99th Bureau, and the other is from the local public security department, and even from the Shiwa Township Police Station, which can be regarded as a guide.
The five of them groped their way to the edge of the village. The policeman from the township police station seemed to have some associations, pointed to a village in the distance and said: "Leader, the village over there is Da Li Zhuang, that is, the place where the biting case broke out the day before yesterday." ”
This is the Baijia Building, and in front of it is Da Li Zhuang, where the dark species attacks broke out continuously. Did Jianguozi escape from Baijialou and run to Da Li Zhuang? If he said so, this Jianguozi would be even more suspicious.
Moving on, but it didn't take long to come across a small river. The local policeman added: "After the monster bit the woman to death yesterday, it fled in this direction." Our police dog sniffed it all the way and chased it away by the small river in front of us. ”
It's connected to yesterday's incident, and the more I hear it, the more suspicious it becomes.
It's just that at this time, everyone didn't see Jianguozi. There happened to be a child herding sheep not far away, Chen Taiyuan leaned over and asked, it happened that this little fart child actually saw Jianguozi, and it was in the direction of Da Li Zhuang just now.
"Chase!" the head wolf roared, and sped up with a few policemen, anyway, there was no one here and was not afraid of others seeing. The two villages are less than two miles apart, and they can be reached quickly. It's just that the three policemen are a little tired of running along, especially the one from the local police station. Therefore, Chen Taiyuan also deliberately slowed down his pace, so as not to be noticed by ordinary people. The head wolf doesn't need to hide anything, he is a world-famous supernatural powerhouse, even if he runs a speed of 100 meters and four or five seconds, people believe it.
The journey was secluded, and there were no people except for the early morning crops. However, Chen Taiyuan saw from a distance that there seemed to be a lonely building in front of him, with a large construction area and gray bricks and tiles.
"What's that?" Chen asked.
The local policeman glanced at it and didn't care, in fact, he only cared about how to run along, and he was already tired and panting: "Sanguan Temple...... It's a rural ...... The small earth temple, the incense is very prosperous, and the ...... of ten miles and eight villages All come here to burn incense......"
The head wolf stopped and stared at the small temple: "Do you suspect that he is hiding here?"
Chen Taiyuan looked around and said, "If he hadn't fled, then he wouldn't have gone so fast, and the whole village wouldn't be able to find him in the blink of an eye, and if he fled, even if he fled to Da Li Zhuang on the opposite side, it would be easy to be discovered." However, this place is quite remote, and it is the only convenient place to hide in this area. ”
So the group immediately ran over.
It is quite an old temple, the building of the old society, and later the common people spontaneously repaired it twice before the building has not collapsed. But after all, the first two repairs were too simple, so now there is a certain degree of danger, and now it happens to be under repair, mainly in the back of the small courtyard.
It covers an area of about two acres, which is a relatively large temple in this vicinity. The more the economic development is not very good, the more vigorous this kind of incense is, although the good men and women are shy, but they are not too stingy with these incense money. And it happened that the day before yesterday there was a "beast eating man" incident, ordinary people naturally have superstition considerations, so more people come to burn incense, and implore the Emperor Sanguan to bless and relieve the disaster.
The so-called Sanguan Emperor refers to the heavenly officials, the earth officials and the water officials, and they are also the three immortals who are mainly worshiped in these Sanguan Temples. Heavenly officials bless, earth officials forgive sins, and water officials relieve misfortune, in fact, the common people don't care which god is in charge of what, as long as it is a god, it is awesome, and it can make people safe.
After entering the main entrance of this temple, what you see is a large incense burner, and smoke has begun to burn inside. The incense burner is flanked by two rows of small houses, and directly opposite is the only main hall of the temple, which houses the golden statue of the Emperor Sanguan. To be honest, seeing a temple of this scale in this economically underdeveloped place, as well as the capital expenditure that is still being repaired, makes Chen Taiyuan feel blocked in his heart - how good it would be to have this money to let a few more children go to school and eat more nutritious food, I am afraid that even if there are really old immortals, they will not oppose this practice.
The policeman from the local police station slapped his nose when he entered, and seemed to be not very fond of the strong incense. I happened to see a twelve or thirteen-year-old Taoist boy sweeping the floor, so he asked directly: "Child, did anyone come just now?"
The little Taoist boy looked at him a little blankly, shook his head, and continued to sweep the floor. It seems that the monks are too lazy to pay attention to you, let alone the fact that you are yelling here.
Chen Taiyuan asked with a pleasant face: "Little master, where is the Taoist head of your family? Oh, is it still called the Guan Master?"
At this time, Xiao Daotong replied loudly: "Master has been out for a few days, go to the county seat to buy some wood, and come back to repair the house behind." Here is me and my brother, he is cleaning the tables and chairs in the temple. ”
Chen Taiyuan nodded: "Oh, didn't anyone come in just now? Or didn't you notice?"
Xiao Daotong shook his head: "I've been sweeping the floor here for half an hour, and I haven't seen anyone coming, it's still early this day, and whoever comes to offer incense won't be so early." Half an hour ago, I didn't even open the door. ”
There was no one within half an hour, and Jianguozi had actually left the crowd for about twenty minutes.
What should I do? Do you choose to believe Xiao Daotong's words? If you don't believe it, you will have to search this Sanguan Temple, but then it doesn't seem to look good on your face.
Then just "go around", worship the gods on the incense, and look back and forth in the temple, this is no problem. So Chen Taiyuan spent some money to buy an incense burner and light it in the incense burner, and took the others to take a look at the temple, during which he also met Xiao Daotong's senior brother, a young Taoist priest who was less than twenty years old. And because Chen Taiyuan put on a pilgrim's posture, it was naturally impossible for the brothers to drive everyone away.
Bypassing the main hall, there is a small construction site behind it. Originally, there was a row of blue brick houses behind it, which could accommodate twenty or thirty Taoist priests when the incense was strong in the old society. However, half of it had collapsed, and even the low wall separating it from the main hall had collapsed, so it needed to be repaired again. No, the Taoist of this temple has already gone to the city to purchase wood and other building materials. The site is sealed, and some construction has begun inside, as well as signs of dirt pulling out.
The amount of work is not small, and I don't know how long it will take to build. In fact, the progress of the construction of temples and temples is uneven, and it is often related to the amount of money raised. Moreover, many temples do not stop building at all, because construction is an excuse to raise more money. Only by continuing to build, the common people will know that your temple is short of money, so they will keep donating to you.
"Go in and have a look?" said the local policeman, who offered to lead the way over the crumbling brick wall and into the construction site.
Then a young Taoist priest - that is, the senior brother of the little Taoist boy - hurriedly ran to dissuade him: "Everyone, there is nothing to look at here, there are bricks and tiles everywhere, and it is not good if it is smashed." After we fix it, we will naturally let everyone watch and play. ”
If you don't let you see it, you won't see it? We're searching.
The more you don't let you see it, the more you really want to see it. So a policeman from the 99th Bureau simply showed his work card and said, "Let me make it clear to you, we are searching, please cooperate with the police." ”
