Chapter 32: Clearing the Fog!
"You girl! If you are still an old lady, you can't be civilized! You're a lady, what am I? Old immortal ancestor? You said that your parents were both well-mannered intellectuals, how could they give birth to a daughter like you who didn't know how to be polite? Professor Tao glared at Tao Ranran fiercely, making her embarrassed to pinch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's just, it's too violent! I can't get out of bed in three days,", as soon as he finished saying this, he saw the whole table looking at the two of them stupidly.
At this time, Tao Ranran and Zhou Yu reacted, a very ambiguous sentence. And Li Zhihai's eyes are already on fire!
"That, you want to be crooked...", Zhou Yu smiled embarrassedly.
"Dead Zhou Yu, old lady..."As soon as she exited, Tao Ranran immediately glanced at Professor Tao, looking at the iron green face, she had to bow her head to eat.
After eating, Professor Tao Ranran and Zhou Yu sat and chatted together.
"What books have you read?" , Zhou Yu was a little curious about how Tao Ranran, who dozed off when he saw a book, could stay in the archives for a day.
"I was introduced by the librarian and flipped through the local strange chronicles, that, I'm very interested in this thing!" Seeing the incredible look of the two, Tao Ranran stretched out his tongue cutely.
"One of them I found very interesting. It turned out that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were many disasters and famines in a radius of several hundred miles in Lianyin County for several consecutive years, coupled with man-made disasters, which caused many people to starve to death and die of disease. At this time, there was an immortal sect, and the sect leader said that as long as you believe in this religion, you will be able to eat and clothe yourself, eliminate all diseases, and dedicate all your family wealth, or be willing to serve the leader of the immortal sect for the rest of your life, and you can live a long life! Speaking of this, Tao Ranran had an inexplicable smile on his face.
Later, there was also a sentence recorded, saying that the leader of the Immortal Sect was in the temple from the end of the Qing Dynasty until the liberation, and before the liberation of the Western Xinjiang, he mysteriously disappeared into the snow-capped mountains. No one has ever seen him for what he really is! Always wear a white veil to cover your face. However, many old people said that he was not old at all, and that he was a man with mana. Of course, this is all written in anecdotes. Tao Ranran said again.
"This?" , Professor Tao and Zhou Yu glanced at each other, and both of them thought of Qin Shaohua in their hearts. The same ageless face, and that weird mask!
The next day, Zhou Yu came to the archives again, and from yesterday's conversation with Tao Ranran, he already knew the goal.
Sure enough, he saw the news in some old newspapers. It was the Xijiang Daily of that year, which focused on the report on the destruction of the cult Changsheng Sect after the liberation of Western Xinjiang by the People's Liberation Army. In the end, the People's Liberation Army killed the cult leader in a cave in the back mountain, and rescued many ethnic minorities in western Xinjiang.
And when Zhou Yu inadvertently turned to a county chronicle, it confirmed the guess in his heart!
"Professor Zhou, you can notify Director Guo to arrest someone! Ran Ran and I are waiting for you at the Lafengkou Temple, be quick! After Zhou Yu finished the call, he pulled Tao Ranran and quickly drove to Lafengkou.
"What are you doing in such a hurry, what's the matter?" , Tao Ranran was inexplicably pulled into the car by Zhou Yu, sat in the co-pilot and asked.
"I know who the ghost is, and I know the cause and effect. Now the two of us go and wait for the big army. This man has a lot of martial arts, and the two of us may not be able to deal with it. Zhou Yu said solemnly.
"What? And my aunt and grandmother I can't deal with? Tao Ranran said unconvinced.
Coming to the foot of Lafengkou Mountain again, Zhou Yu drove the car to the side of the road.
Looking up at the vicissitudes of life and the quaint temple halfway up the mountainside, Zhou Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. The temple, what a sacred place, a place for the world to find comfort in their hearts. But now, someone is using it to hide his identity!
"You don't mean Mu Ye, Mu Lao, right?" , Tao Ranran only reacted at this time.
"Everything will be known when your grandfather comes." , Zhou Yu's eyes fluttered, and his voice was slightly confused.
But before Professor Tao and them arrived, smoke began to billowing from the ancient temple. When Zhou Yu and Tao Ranran saw it, they were shocked.
"Not good! Escape! Zhou Yu's face changed drastically and he began to run towards the mountainside. Obviously, the two of them drove to the foot of the mountain and let the old man Mu see it!
When the two of them ran to the ancient temple out of breath, they found that the main hall and the auxiliary room were already on fire, and there was no water nearby, so it was impossible to extinguish the fire. Moreover, the residence and kitchen on the west side were also burned to the ground, and only the ruins were still smoking.
Half an hour later, Guo Changli and Professor Tao hurried over, and when they saw the ancient temple that had been burned beyond recognition, their faces were blue!
"One step late! When we saw it down the hill, we hurried up and didn't find anything. Zhou Yu's face was calm and he sighed.
"Cunning fellow!" , Guo Changli scolded hatefully.
"Don't say it, put out the fire and see if you can find some useful clues." , Professor Liu hurriedly ordered.
When the police cleaned up almost everything that could be cleaned up in the main hall and cleaned up the old man's residence, they made a major discovery.
"There are corpses!" , found a charred corpse on the bed of the original wooden old man.
"Don't move! Clean up the smoke around and don't move anything on the bed. Professor Liu hurriedly ordered.
After speaking, he and Li Zhihai immediately began to extract evidence. Looking at the burned and carbonized corpse, Tao Ranran almost vomited out the food he ate! Zhou Yu looked closer, and he found that the corpse seemed to look very much like the old man, but the feeling told him that it was not! That man wants to play the golden cicada shell!
Seeing that there was nothing to do, he remembered that there seemed to be a cave in the back mountain not far away, and that was where the first generation of the Immortal Sect Sect Master was killed.
"Where are you going?" , Tao Ranran saw Zhou Yu walking outside the gate and hurriedly followed.
"I'll go to the back mountain to have a look." , Zhou Yu said to her.
"Wait for me!" , Tao Ranran also feels very boring.
The two followed the trail and went around to the back of the mountain. In addition to the increasingly clear sound of flowing water, only the sound of the soles of feet stepping on gravel remained.
"Huh?" , Just when the two of them were about to rush to a cliff behind the mountain, suddenly, Zhou Yu found a few footprints with particularly large strides!
Squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while, he must have relatively fresh footprints. And this person's stride is much larger than the average person, but the footprints are not deep, and even the footprints in some fine sand are not as deep as their own!
"It's weird, why are they shallower than my footprints?" , Tao Ranran compared it next to him and said suspiciously.
"It means that this person is not much worse than your master!" , Zhou Yu's eyes shrank, and he remembered Tao Ranran's master.
"No, it won't, right? You mean Old Man Wood? Tao Ranran reacted, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
