When Ji Qingwen heard this, he really saw a new copper lock hanging on the door. This copper lock is yellow and bright, it looks very conspicuous, separated by more than ten steps, Ji Qingwen feels that the sunlight reflected on this copper lock is a little dazzling.

So Ji Qingwenjing stepped forward and fiddled with the copper lock, expecting that there must be something strange in the room behind the door, so he beckoned the old eunuch and said, "Hey, come here, open the door lock for me, I want to go in and take a look." ”

The old eunuch walked up with a puzzled face, approached the door lock and looked at it several times, and then said, "Master Hui, the slave doesn't have the key to this lock!" ”

"Nonsense!" Ji Qingwen reprimanded, "Such a huge Baiyun Temple, how can you have no key to save you and guard it alone?" Don't you bring it out to me! ”

The old eunuch looked embarrassed: "My lord, I really don't have a key, slave......"

"Humph! Look at your spitting and spitting, you can tell at a glance that you are a thief. If Lord Ben guesses correctly, there must be Manchurian spies hidden in this house! Ji Qingwen deliberately scared him.

"No...... No! ......Definitely not," the old eunuch hurriedly explained.

"What not! I see you're deliberately covering it up! Hum! Anyway, hiding Manchurian spies is also a mortal sin, so I might as well kill you here now! Ji Qingwen said sharply.

Li Yuanyin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard on the side, was a master of inducing confessions and extorting confessions, and he had already guessed Ji Qingwen's intentions, so he also cooperated and strode forward, took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist, put it on the neck of the old eunuch, and scolded: "Okay, you are a thief who harbors Manchurian spies, do you recognize the embroidered spring knife of Jinyiwei?" ”

The old eunuch thought that he was in danger today, and he was so frightened that he couldn't breathe, and immediately fainted.

Seeing this, Li Yuanyin shook his head and said, "Lord Ji, it seems that this person really doesn't have a key in his hand. What to do? Please show me so. ”

"What to do? Don't you go in without a key? Can't you pry this lock open without a key? Ji Qingwen replied.

As he spoke, he beckoned Huang Degong and told him to break the lock.

Unexpectedly, the quality of this copper lock is excellent, with Huang Degong's divine power, he pinched left and right for a long time, and there was no way to take this copper lock.

So Huang Degong scratched his head and said, "Owner, this lock is very strong, I can't break it!" ”

"I said Huang Degong, you eat more than others and don't talk less than others, why do you drop the chain when it comes to a critical moment? If you don't talk too much, work harder, and unscrew the lock, I will be rewarded. Ji Qingwen said.

Huang Degong fiddled with it again, but there was still no way to take this copper lock, I don't know if he was tired or anxious, and a layer of stinky sweat was already oozing from his head.

When Li Yan saw it, he laughed twice and said, "Huang Degong, is your brain turning?" This copper lock can't be opened, won't you remove the door? ”

"That's right! Unload the door, unload the door! Leave this lock alone! If you unload the door, you can get in! Ji Qingwen immediately agreed.

Huang Degong listened, didn't think about it, threw down the copper lock, stretched out two hands the size of a fan, and shook the door in front of him.

The lock on the door is newly made, but the wooden door behind the lock is old, the original very solid wood, under the devastation of decades and hundreds of years of wind and rain, has already become rotten, in the "babbling" moaning not long after, it was torn off the door shaft by Huang Degong, and the whole was removed from the door frame.

Huang Degong carried the gate in his hand and asked, "Boss, I removed the door, should I put it there?" ”

"Ask me about this, too? Wherever you put it, even if it is on your head, it's none of my business. With that, Ji Qingwen walked into the door.

Li Yan, Li Yuanyin and others also walked in.

Unexpectedly, in this warehouse, which took a lot of effort to enter, it was indeed as the old eunuch said, it was full of incense burners, incense cases, statues and other feudal superstitious items, and most of them were tattered, belonging to the kind of chicken ribs that are pitiful and useless if they are lost.

But these semi-useless garbage can't be locked so well!

With such a question in his heart, Ji Qingwen walked around and around in this rather large warehouse, and carefully inspected every corner and every floor tile - a total of six spider webs, half a leftover steamed bun, seven and a half pairs of bamboo chopsticks, and three dried mouse corpses, but not half a tael of silver!

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen walked around the house twice, and after making sure that he hadn't missed anything again, he sighed and walked outside the house.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't crossed the threshold yet, but he heard Li Yan say: "Brother Ji, I think it's a little weird here. ”

When Ji Qingwen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and asked, "Brother Li, what's weird?" Did you find a clue to the silver? ”

Li Yan shook his head, pointed to the pile of statues in front of him and said, "Brother Ji, you count, how many statues are there?" ”

Ji Qingwen raised his eyes, and sure enough, there were a bunch of statues of gods unevenly placed in front of the meeting, each of these statues was one person high, and his face, body, and clothes were covered with dust, and in some places the dust was so thick that it was clumped.

The light in the warehouse was very dim, Ji Qingwen squinted his eyes and used the mathematical knowledge he learned in kindergarten, counted it carefully a few times, and answered Li Yan's question: "Nine, it is nine statues." Brother Li, what's wrong? ”

Li Yan frowned and replied, "That's not right." Brother Ji, Baiyun Temple is a Taoist temple, if you worship the three Qings, then you should build three statues of Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun. If you worship the four emperors, then you should build four statues of the Crape Myrtle Emperor, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Immortal Emperor. If it is enshrined......"

Li Yan is really knowledgeable and talented, and he said thirty or forty Taoist gods in one breath, but there is no routine of worshipping nine gods at the same time.

At this time, even Ji Qingwen felt strange, thought about it, and said: "Brother Li, these statues, the more I look at them, the more strange they feel, but it's a pity that the light here is too dim, let's move outside and distinguish them carefully." ”

So Ji Qingwen shouted: "Where is Huang Degong?" Bring me these idols to the courtyard. ”

Huang Degong agreed, walked into the room, stretched out his hand and lifted the idol - but unexpectedly, the idol did not move!

Everyone present, everyone knows that Huang Degong's power is infinite, and the statue of this person is high, not to mention that it is made of rotten clay and carved from wood, and it is poured with brass, and he Huang Degong should also be moved! And these statues can be so heavy that Huang Degong has no way to do it, which is really incredible.

Even Ji Qingwen felt more and more that there was something wrong with these statues, so he said to Huang Degong: "Degong, don't be stupid, shake quickly, try to see if the base of these statues is fixed on the ground?" ”

So Huang Degong stretched out his hand and pushed the statue hard, and the statue finally moved a little - it turned out that the statue was not fixed, but really just extremely heavy.

So they consulted for a while, opened all the windows and doors in the storehouse, and brought candles and oil lamps from the old eunuch's room, and lightened the space around the idol a little, and then took a closer look.

Ji Qingwen and Li Yuanyin looked up and down the dusty statue countless times, only to feel that there was nothing special about this statue except for the rough workmanship and dirty appearance.

Li Yan still has the most lively brain and the brightest eyes, not only focusing on this one statue, but connecting all nine statues to observe carefully, and finally discovering the doorway -

I only heard him say: "Brother Ji, look at it, the faces of these gods all look similar!" And...... And it seems somewhat familiar......"

Ji Qingwen was reminded by him like this, and really found that each of these statues had a fat face like a pancake, which was a little weird and funny, but it seemed familiar......

So he asked Xiao Duozi to fetch a basin of water and a rag, and wiped the faces of these gods one by one.

At the moment when the faces of these gods were washed, Ji Qingwen couldn't help but exclaim: "Wei Zhongxian! It's Wei Zhongxian! These statues look just like Wei Zhongxian! ”

Li Yan was also shocked when he saw it: "It's Wei Zhongxian!" It is indeed Wei Zhongxian! How could there be so many statues of Wei Zhongxian here! ”
