Chapter 233: The Dragon Mother Temple of the Evil Sect
As soon as these words came out, the entire inn looked over and looked at Chen You with very strange eyes.
"Lord Chen, didn't you come here a long time ago? You don't have a room either? Ning Kawaii said in surprise.
"Ah, no, the official is worried about you, you are a woman after all, how can you be crammed into a room with those big men." Tatsumi said solemnly.
Ning Lovely glanced at him disappreciatively, put her arm on his shoulder, nodded, and said excitedly:
"Come to think of it, what you said also has some truth, that book catches up sleeping in the wilderness today, sleepless all night, and surveying the enemy."
"What? Sleeping in the wilderness is not allowed. ”
The woman blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at the frowning man.
"Why, why... You need your approval to investigate the enemy's situation, and you are not the boss of this capture. She retorted reasonably.
"Even if you are not your immediate superior, you are also your superior, do you want to disobey orders and act recklessly?"
Chen You took a step closer, a little domineering.
"Don't dare, this arrest is just a small catch, how can you, dare, no, listen, the words of Lord Langchen, the right attendant of the Criminal Department."
Ning Lovely said this on her lips, but in her heart, she still decided to secretly get up in the middle of the night and run out to investigate the enemy.
"Well, in short, you can't share a room with them, and you can't sleep in the wilderness."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
The woman hung her head in disappointment, unable to see the corners of the man's quietly raised mouth.
"Sleep in the officer's room."
"What? Sleeping in your room? She rolled her eyes and thought, "It's okay, thank you, Lord Chen." ”
"You promised?"
Chen You was surprised and delighted, happy that she did not reject sharing a room with herself, and was surprised that she agreed to share a room with a man so easily, should she have been so ignorant of it before.
"You..."
He was about to put up a stand and criticize her a few words, when Ning Cute patted him on the shoulder.
"Then I wronged you and my eldest brother in the same room, I didn't expect to be able to live in a room by myself when I came out to fight the rogue, I'm so happy."
The frank Ning Cute ran towards his colleague, and suddenly turned around and smiled at him.
That playful smile touched his heart deeply.
He inadvertently stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the purple-pink butterfly flying in the air out of thin air, and firmly grasped Ning Cute and hid it in the palm of his hand.
There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, just as Shunhua wants to sit back in the carriage, wait for the frost and frost to come back, and then set off back to Wanqiong.
In front of me, a sudden gust of wind blew up, the fallen leaves all over the street were blown up by the cold wind, the dark clouds gathered on the top, and the thunder roared, and the ears were endless.
The gray clouds quickly coalesced, and the lightning struck down one after another, reflecting the dragon mother statue in Luoshui City that was a little hideous and terrifying.
"It looks like it's going to rain."
Ah Ming and Ah Gen carried Frost with one arm and grabbed Yan Frost, who had eaten into a little fat pig, from the end of the street.
"Miss, why did the glutinous rice stall over there suddenly close, and Shuangshuang hasn't eaten enough."
Yan Shuangshuang chewed the grilled squid, her little stomach was bulging, but her face was a 'pitiful' little look.
"Silly girl, don't you see it's raining soon?"
Yan Shunhua looked up at the strange dark clouds above, and thought to himself, he might not be able to leave tonight, but don't make something else.
"Amin, Agen, you go to the shopkeeper to show your identity, and ask where the room left for us is when Steward Gu wrote a letter."
"Yes, Miss." The twins nodded at the same time.
The wind ruffled her hair, and at the same time made her sober up a lot.
This Lu Gongzi went to great lengths to call her over, not to talk about selling land.
Instead, I want to tell her the story of thirteen years ago.
In the year when the Dragon Mother Temple was completed, the whole family was burned to death?
"Ah, today's ghost weather is exactly the same as that day more than ten years ago, and it will start to rain heavily later, I don't know, will there be dead people this time."
Shunhua turned his head and looked at the old uncle who was standing under the eaves of the inn and muttering.
"This uncle, Mrs. Ben wants to ask you, in what year was the Dragon Mother Temple in Luoshui City built?"
"You... Why is this question asked? ”
The old uncle's eyes trembled and he looked at Shun Hua in horror.
"It's nothing, Mrs. Ben is from out of town, I just want to know how long the Dragon Mother Temple has been built." She frowned puzzled.
"That's it?"
The old uncle's tone relaxed a lot, and Shunhua took the opportunity to say:
"Of course, if the Dragon Mother Temple can ask for a child, Mrs. Ben still wants to put on the pillar incense, add some sesame oil money and leave.
"Ask for a son, uncle advises you not to go to that temple, it is very evil, and it is not suitable to pray for God at all."
The old uncle frowned, as if he knew something.
"Where is the evil, Mrs. Ben just heard that it was built at the request of the Queen Mother, shouldn't it be prosperous?"
"Incense in its prime? That's to deal with the envoy of the imperial court, looking for someone to pretend to be believers, haven't you seen Luoshui City, have you had a lot of official errands in recent days? They were all envoys sent by the Queen Mother, who came to see if the incense in the Dragon Mother Temple was prosperous enough, and if there was any place to repair it, usually, the people of Luoshui City would not go to the Dragon Mother Temple to incense at all. ”
His tone seemed to be very repulsive to the official messenger sent by the Queen Mother, and he was very repulsive to the Dragon Mother Temple.
"Uncle, you just said that the Dragon Mother Temple is very evil, which one is evil?"
"Little lady, what are you doing listening to this, uncle is afraid that you will not be able to sleep for a long time if you listen to it."
The uncle kindly reminded the curious Shunhua to be careful of getting into trouble.
"Don't be afraid, uncle might as well say it directly, when Mrs. Ben goes back, be wary of fellow villagers and sisters, why can't you get close there."
She was like a cat snooping in front of a box, and the more she didn't let it in, the more she wanted to sneak in and see.
"That's it, don't say that Uncle didn't warn you."
The old uncle sighed deeply, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to a distant time.
"This dragon mother temple, built twelve years ago, unfortunately, not long after it was built, there was a human tragedy, the original proposal to modify the river of the squire lord, the family windows were sealed by iron chains, the whole family was burned alive, it rained a lot that day, unfortunately, still failed to save the life of the Chen Shilang family."
"Tatsu... Squire? ”
Shunhua suddenly heard the familiar surname, and was a little surprised.
"That's right, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, Chen Feihan, Lord Chen, was a well-known good official in Luoshui City, a good official who was admired by the people and praised by everyone."
"Then you can't find the murderer?" The woman said eagerly.
"No, some people say that he offended the Dragon Mother and was punished by heaven, and some people say that he offended the Queen Mother, so he was ordered to be burned to death by the whole family."
The old uncle's voice became smaller and smaller, and the fear in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"The imperial court didn't send anyone to investigate?"
"Nope." The old uncle said regretfully, "However, it can be regarded as God's mercy, the only son of the Chen family happened to go to a foreign place to play and escaped a catastrophe." ”
"The only son of the Chen family, shouldn't it be called..."
She thought to herself, there would be no such coincidence in the world.
"Uncle, I remember, it seems to be called Chen... Left, no, his name is Chenyou, and his dead eldest brother is called Chenzuo. ”
I didn't expect that Lord Chen's life experience was so pitiful and tortuous.
The old uncle glanced at the sighing Shunhua and admonished: "Since the death of the Chen family, the dragon mother temple has been full of strange things, the beggars who stayed overnight at night died under the statue of the dragon mother, and the watchmen who passed by in the middle of the night can still hear the woman's screams from the temple, and the scholar who sheltered from the rain was blinded and died in front of the temple gate. ”
Shunhua felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, what kind of temple is this, it is clearly a murderous place.
It's a shame I didn't buy it, I don't buy it.
"Little lady, I'm scared, what Uncle Fang told you, don't tell others, remind you of those sisters, don't come, don't make a noise."
"Old man, what are you talking nonsense about here, let's have a snack, be careful that the people in the government will catch you in, give you a crime, let you go in vertically and come out horizontally, and then you want the old lady to pick up the coffin directly to pick you up?"
The old uncle took his wife's flat burden, and under her scolding, the two husbands and wives returned home, as if they didn't look at the ghostly weather at all.

The mysterious Lu Gongzi sat in the private room in the attic, still looking at the energetic sparrow in the cage with those gray eyes, Shi Gongzi slowly walked in and motioned for the little servant to close the door.
"Master Lu, what should I do? This agitation method didn't work, that Yan Shunhua didn't take the bait, and this land couldn't be sold. ”
Shi Gongzi looked at the man in front of him helplessly, trying his best to explain that the responsibility for this matter was not on him.
"Don't worry, my son, I didn't expect you in the first place."
The man stopped the feather in his hand and looked coldly at the sparrow's smart and well-behaved round eyes.
Said coldly:
"This bird, it's not fresh, change it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant quickly took down the birdcage and put another golden birdcage again, this time in the cage was a quiet purple sparrow.
Whether it is the color or the movement, it is somewhat similar to Shunhua's clothing and demeanor.
"This bird..."
Shi Gongzi pointed suspiciously at the bird in the cage.
"How's it going?" Lu Gongzi asked rhetorically.
"It's good, it's good-looking."
Shi Gongzi smiled weakly, anyway, he couldn't tell what kind of breed it was.
He sat down beside Lu Gongzi and said flatteringly: "Now, she refuses to buy land, who should this son sell this land to?" ”
"Are you in a hurry to use the money?" Lu Gongzi asked disappreciatively.
"But isn't it, when my son married the twenty-first concubine, that cheap girl didn't know whether to live or die, and actually dared to die on the pillar of my house, my son was unlucky, and he wanted a sum of money for 'decoration', and wanted to change the pillar to cover up this matter, so he secretly took out my father's land and sold it."
Shi Gongzi looked a little shameless and a little worried.
"You also heard it just now, Yan Shunhua is going to take away the silver that her family put in my family's bank, my father is bound to be furious and scold my son, when the time comes, there is no money, how can I continue to be merry outside?"
"You can see it quite openly, the money bank at home is about to go out of business, and you can still be so relaxed and comfortable, and you can live happily outside." The man said expressionlessly.
"Why do you listen to that girl's nonsense, my father's money bank can be regarded as one of the best in Wanqiong Country, how can it be so easy to close the door, besides, the girl surnamed Yan will just talk about it, does she dare to ask for her money back?"
Shi Gongzi slapped it vigorously on the table, startling the birds in the cage and hitting his nose and face.
"If she dares to take it, my son will let her have money to spend."
“……”
The mysterious Lu Gongzi slowly turned his head, looked at Shi Gongzi blankly, and said, "You scared my sparrow." ”
"Hold, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I was just excited."
"Your piece of land, let's put it aside for now, anyway, soon, you will make a windfall."
He said meaningfully.
"Really, really?" Shi Gongzi raised his eyes in surprise, convinced of the man's words.
"Of course, but you have to do one thing for Ben Gongzi tonight."
"What is it?"
Shi Gongzi leaned over, and after listening to a few words, he was so excited that he couldn't sit still.
"I want to teach Yan Shunhua a lesson a long time ago, Gongzi Xie is perfect, Gongzi Xie is perfect."
