The mountain is easy to go down the mountain and difficult, the mountain road of Qinwang Mountain is different from the mountain road dug by the tourist attraction in later generations, it is just a small road that comes out artificially, when going up the mountain, I don't feel anything, but when I go down the mountain, I have to be extremely careful, if I don't pay attention to the slip under my feet, maybe the whole person will roll down the mountain! Therefore, Shen Huan and the others walked very slowly, and when they came to the foot of the mountain again, Shen Huan and Song Shi were already out of breath......

There is a tea shop at the foot of Qinwang Mountain, since he was a child, Song Shi would sit here for a while every time he came to play. However, the weather is still cold now, and the Spring Festival has just passed, so there are no other tourists to play here, and there is no one in the tea shop. Although he didn't see the boss, Song Shi, who was already thirsty, couldn't take care of it anymore, picked up the kettle and hurriedly poured it into his mouth! But he was tragic to find that there was not even a drop of water in it!

"Boss! Boss! Come and have two pots of tea! ”

screamed twice, but there was no answer, Song Shi, who couldn't wait, simply did it himself, took down the pot of boiling hot water on the charcoal fire on the side, and drank a bowl by himself......

Seeing Song Shi like this, Shen Huan was speechless, "I said that you are not like this, okay?" How did you drink it yourself! If someone sees it, they think we're stealing! ”

"What are you afraid of! It's not once or twice! The boss is also an old acquaintance with us! You don't need to see it like this! I guess the boss may have gone to the latrine, you wait first, I'll go to the house and get some snacks. ”

After Song Shi finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the house, and Shen Huan didn't stop him, because it was indeed the same as Song Shi said, they were very familiar with the owner of this tea shop! A few times I came to play, because there were too many guests to be busy, the boss let Song Shi do it himself! According to the boss's words at the time, they are all villagers who don't have so many rules! Just count the money after eating!

Just as Shen Huan was waiting for Song Shi to bring the dim sum, he found that things didn't seem to be the same as he thought. Just as Song Shi was about to walk into the house, a person suddenly rushed out of the house and stopped him.

Looking at the person in front of him, Song Shi was a little puzzled, he didn't know this person at all, "Who are you?" How did it come out of it? What about the boss? ”

"What boss? Oh! I'm the boss! The man yelled a little breathlessly.

Hearing this, Song Shi couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "What?" Boss Mo is no longer doing business here? ”

"That's right! He transferred the shop to me half a year ago! Get out! Get out! Who let you in! After the new boss finished speaking, he blasted Song Shi out and didn't let him step into it again.

Seeing the situation here, Shen Huan hurriedly walked over and apologized: "I'm sorry boss, we are tourists who go up the mountain to play, because we often come here, so we are more familiar with the previous Boss Mo, we don't know that Boss Mo has transferred the shop out, it's really embarrassing."

Seeing that the new boss of the tea shop had been looking himself up and down, Shen Huan knew that he must still have doubts in his heart, took out a few copper coins, and said, "Boss, I'm really sorry, can you get us some snacks?" We came down from the mountains and were a little hungry. ”

Seeing the money, the new boss's face really eased a lot, "A few guest officers, I'm really embarrassed, I was a little anxious just now, and I couldn't come out in time to entertain, please don't be surprised!" Sit down, and I'll get you some snacks! ”

Putting the money in his pocket, soon the new boss put a few snacks on Shen Huan's table, watching Song Shi can't wait to stuff it into his mouth, Shen Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "No one robs you, can't you pay attention to your appearance?" What are you doing in such a hurry? I'm not afraid of choking! ”

"It's all about rice addiction and ......"

Listening to Song Shi's words, Shen Huan frowned, very speechless, "Can you swallow what is in your mouth before you speak?" Squirt everywhere! ”

Swallowing the snack quickly, and taking another sip of tea, Song Shi wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and said, "No one sees this, what are you afraid of!" Besides, I didn't dare to eat in the temple just now, and now I can't eat it when I go down the mountain! Hey, but seriously, the vegetarian food in that temple just now tastes really good! If it weren't too scary, I'd definitely have to eat my fill! ”

"Come on! Do you still want to be full? If you don't let people chop it as a pig, make it into adult meat buns, you should burn high incense! ”

Shen Huan's words startled Song Shi, "Wouldn't it?" Why did they hurt me for no reason? Did you find anything again? ”

Looking left and right, Shen Huan said softly to Song Shi and the others: "I think you should also find out, there is no incense in that temple, there is no tribute, this is already very strange!" But not only the temple, but also the two monks are very suspicious! Have you noticed that when those two monks saw us, they didn't call us Buddha, nor did they call us donors or laymen, but called you directly, and they called themselves the same as me, instead of calling themselves poor monks and old monks! ”

Song Shi also remembered when he heard him say this, "That's right! On weekdays, my mother and I went to the temple to burn incense, and no matter which monk I saw, he would put his hands together and call the Buddha's name. ”

"And that's not all! I just took a closer look, and I found that the hands of those two monks were very rough! It's not like the hands of ordinary monks! When I gave him the silver just now, I found that his palms, tiger's mouth, and fingers were all calloused, which is impossible for ordinary monks! Generally, monks knock on wooden fish and copy scriptures, and the cocoons are generally concentrated on the fingertips, and the joints of the middle finger and index finger will be slightly concave, which is completely different from them! I think this is more like a cocoon that has been practiced for many years and sharpened with weapons! Also, the old monk, he was very wary when he saw us, and even when we were eating just now, he was constantly observing us! ”

"Could it be a warrior monk?" Song Shi asked.

"No, most monks chant sutras before eating, which is a ritual that every monk who practices knows, but they don't do it. In my judgment, they are not warrior monks, or even monks at all! ”

"And who are they? It can't really be a man-eating bandit, right? ”

"Possibly!"

Shen Huan's words made Song Shi shudder, and he couldn't help but think of the stories of those man-eating black shops that his father told when he was a child......

The tourists in the story have to stay in the old shops in the mountains because they missed the lodging, and there are often beautiful proprietresses and amiable proprietors, but under their kind appearance lies a terrible heart, and after those tourists eat the food in the black shop, they also become the next unlucky ghost's deathbed dinner......

Thinking of this, looking at the glutinous rice dumplings in his hand again, Song Shi's appetite instantly decreased, and at this moment, Shen Huan kicked him lightly again, signaling him to look to the side.

Looking at the new owner of the tea shop who was making a fire and boiling water, Song Shiqiang held back the uneasiness in his heart and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Did you notice that the boss was weird too?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Shen Huan whispered to him again: "I don't know if you paid attention just now, that boss is actually very weird!" When he first came out of it, his face was flushed, his breathing was short, and his clothes were untidy! So far, he hadn't noticed anything wrong with him! And have you noticed that he has been quietly observing us all along? ”

As soon as Shen Huan's words fell, Song Shi saw the boss secretly looking at them, and when he realized that he was looking at him, he immediately turned back, looking very nervous!

Looking at the appearance of the tea shop owner, thinking about the previous story, and then looking at the glutinous rice dumplings in his hand that had been bitten out of the meat filling by himself, Song Shi's appetite disappeared without a trace at once! Now he just wants to get out of this place quickly! However, just when he was in doubt, Shen Huan and Ye Feixue swept away all the snacks on the plate......

After settling the account and leaving here, looking at the back of Shen Huan and them in the distance, the owner of the tea shop breathed a sigh of relief, quickly moved everything into the house, and locked the door......

It was almost dusk when he returned to the county office, and Shen Huan went to find the county Cheng and asked about the temple. The county told him that this temple was only built in the last half a year, and the entire land of Qinwang Mountain was contracted. But it's strange that this temple has never opened its doors since it was built half a year ago! There weren't any opening pujas either! Many believing men and women wanted to visit, but they were all blocked back! In addition, there are no crops planted on the land contracted by this temple, but this year's taxes have been paid! Liu Zhixian saw that they had paid taxes, so he didn't take it seriously, after all, these lands were already people's own, and he didn't want to ask too much.

The strangeness of this temple made Shen Huan's brows wrinkle deeply, thinking about the situation during the day, Shen Huan couldn't help but suspect that the temple was actually a "black shop" as Song Shi said! Otherwise, how can you explain what you see today?

There are also those two monks, Shen Huan has already confirmed with Ye Feixue, and he has also discovered that these two monks are indeed equipped with martial arts! Unlike Shen Huan, he didn't judge by the calluses on the hands of those two monks, but by their breathing! According to Ye Feixue, the breathing method of people who practice martial arts is completely different from that of ordinary people, although Shen Huan did not feel it, but Ye Feixue, as a sword god, since he said so, then there is absolutely nothing wrong!

A strange temple, two fake monks with martial arts, the combination of the two made Shen Huan feel very unusual! Thinking of what had happened in the recent days, Shen Huan couldn't help but wonder if these two people could be Manichaeans? However, Shen Huan is not sure about this, maybe these two monks are really just opening a black shop! However, no matter which one is in between, it's not a good thing! Especially in this eventful season, you need to be careful to take precautions!

Thinking of this, Shen Huan found Tie Wushuang and asked him to secretly send someone to lurk on the mountain to spy on the suspicious little temple! Compared with the tolerance in the yamen, the identities of the people in the rivers and lakes are more secretive, and their skills are far from being comparable to the tolerance! It is more convenient and safe for them to do this kind of thing than for the people in the yamen!

Night......

In the dimly lit temple, in front of the Buddha of Desire, three people stood there respectfully. At this time, the Buddha of Desire was furious and reprimanded them loudly, even if the spittle star had already flown into their faces, they didn't dare to dodge...... I didn't dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction......

After a long while, the anger in the heart of the Buddha finally subsided a little, and he said to the three of them with a calm face: "You must be careful in your actions from now on!" If you let me know you're wrong! I will make you experience the most painful death in the world! ”

The cruel gaze of the Buddha made the three of them shudder, and after being silent for a long time, someone said: "The subordinate knows that he is wrong, and now that he has noticed us, should we withdraw from here?"

"No, you don't! It's a good thing you didn't show too much, and he won't do anything to you without evidence! If you are removed now, it will be tantamount to not admitting yourself! All you have to do now is be honest with me to stay here! As for the rest, I have my own way! ”

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Huan went to find Song Shi for breakfast, knocked on the door several times but did not see him answer, and when he pushed the door, Song Shi was no longer in the room! Just when Shen Huan wanted to ask someone, he saw Song Shi and Chen Shijie walking in from outside.

"Why did you go early in the morning?" Shen Huan asked towards Song Shi.

"It's not because of you."

"What's wrong with me?" Shen Huan felt a little inexplicable.

"Yesterday I climbed the mountain with you, and I caught a cold! Uncomfortable night! No, I'm going to ask Dr. Qian to prescribe medicine! Song Shi held up the medicine bag in his hand and complained to him.

"I'll go, it seems that you dragged me yesterday, right? Why is it still on me? Forget it, wipe your snot clean and have breakfast! ”

"Oh......" Seeing Shen Huan looking at himself with disgust on his face, Song Shi replied aggrievedly......

Looking at the smile on Chen Shijie's face, Shen Huan saluted him, "Brother Chen, my brother lacks a root in his brain, so you can laugh." By the way, how did you two end up together? ”

Chen Shijie said: "I came to visit you on purpose, and I met this Song brother on the way, so I came over together."

"Looking for me? Can I help you? ”

"That's right, I encountered an incident yesterday, and I feel that it may have something to do with the case you are investigating, so I came to you specially."

When Shen Huan heard him say this, his face became serious, and he said to Chen Shijie, "Brother Chen, please speak inside."

Song Shi patted his drowsy head and said, "Let's talk, I'm so uncomfortable, I'll go back to sleep after breakfast, and come back to call me when I eat at noon."

"Okay! You go to sleep! You know how to eat! Shen Huan waved his hand and told him to disappear quickly, don't be embarrassed here.

Seeing the two of them like this, Chen Shijie couldn't help laughing, "What the hell is your brother so funny!" I like this temperament! Ha ha! ”

"Where! Brother Chen, please! ”

After inviting Chen Shijie into the room and taking a seat, Chen Shijie told Shen Huan about what happened yesterday, "Yesterday I went fishing in the north of the city, and I saw a few people sneakily saying something about "Holy Religion" and "poisoning", I felt strange at that time, so I quietly followed them and followed them to a dilapidated house in the city! Only then did I realize that there were so many people gathered inside! I'm afraid that they will find out, but I don't dare to approach it, and I can't hear what is being said inside. I waited there for a while, expecting them to come out, but it didn't take long for the group to be gone! I wanted to go in, but I didn't know how to fight except for money, and these people looked like outlaws, so I didn't dare to go in. ”

"You're right not to go in! These people are not good at stubble! By the way, Brother Chen, can you still find that dilapidated house? Shen Huan hurriedly asked.

"Absolutely! The more I thought about it after I came back, the more I felt that something was wrong! So I'm just coming to you! ”
