Chapter Twenty-Seven: Monk's Field

Here's another quest hint.

Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Tianwang Palace, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Monk's Room, Li Ang took everyone to roughly scan the Guhan Temple, and there was no spiritual reaction in all corners.

Li Ang closed the cat's eye and recovered his mental strength, while returning to the courtyard of the middle road of the main gate, and said calmly to the others: "I haven't found the source of the cry, but the cry is probably not an ordinary person pretending to be a ghost."

There is a high probability that this temple was abandoned for special reasons, and we must be prepared to deal with ghosts. ”

Wanli Fengdao frowned, "How do you know?" ”

Xing Hechou didn't speak, and he also had this doubt.

"Observe carefully, speculate boldly, and argue carefully."

Li Ang said lightly in a rather unbeaten tone: "From the area of the monk's room, the number of beds, the number of bowls and chopsticks in the fasting room, and the number of straw mats and quilts, it can be seen that the Guhan Temple was at least a large temple with two hundred monks before it fell.

In ancient times, monks studied Buddhist scriptures and could not produce all day long like the heads of the villages, and there were four main sources of income for them to maintain the temple.

First, they relied on the royal reward for their own cultivation of the land.

Second, reclaim wasteland, print and paper, and be self-reliant.

Third, good men and women, wealthy businessmen and tycoons donate money or surrounding land

Fourth, relying on the income from farming and donations from believers, financial lending activities are carried out - yes, lending.

This lonely cold temple is located in a remote area, there is only a medium-sized city in the distance, the road condition is not good, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like it is close to the capital, you can get the holy favor.

Although there is wasteland on both sides of the temple, the area is quite small, and the output of the land is simply not enough to support this temple with 100 monks, and similarly, the output of printed Buddhist scriptures is insignificant compared to the temple.

In the village we saw in the east just now, the houses were still mud houses, and the Qianshou farmers were still dressed in tatters, but there were so many ploughing cattle in the fields, and the production equipment was not much more luxurious than that of the farmers of the same generation.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the economic source of the once lonely Han Temple was mainly the donations of good men and women, and the donations of wealthy businessmen.

The Guhan Temple, which is in good condition, has also set up a treasury called 'Changsheng Warehouse', which is specially used to stack property and carry out financial lending.

Combined with the slightly luxurious number of cultivated cattle in that village, it can even be speculated that the thousands of hectares of fertile land seen by the drone just now were all monk-produced Buddha fields formed after the land annexation of this lonely cold temple! ”

When he first transmitted, Li Ang did not give any constructive advice, but stood by and paddled and gaged, both to observe the actions of veterans suspected of having official backgrounds.

is also because Xing Hechou has done a pretty good job in easing the atmosphere and forming a temporary team in accordance with the action guidelines of the Secret Bureau, and Li Ang is happy to paddle.

Now that he heard the nameless cry and had not found the source of the cry, Li Ang, who faintly felt threatened, began to take the initiative to conduct intelligence analysis, so as not to take the group of teammates into the ditch.

Wanli Fengdao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say - he didn't think he was stupid, but he definitely couldn't deduce the original state of things based on just two or three points of information.

He frowned and asked, "The Lonely Han Temple used to be in good condition, what does it have to do with us having to survive here for seven days?" ”

Li Ang smiled, "Of course it matters." Just imagine, how could a luxurious temple with 200 monks, countless pious and good men and women, and thousands of acres of fertile land be abandoned in just three years?

By the way, I extrapolated the '3 years' of wasted time from the growth of vines such as creepers on the red brick walls. ”

Wanli Fengdao didn't like this kind of test of his IQ, he looked at Li Ang with sideways eyes, "Can you not hide it, hurry up and say the conclusion?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey."

Li Ang didn't get angry with Wanli Fengdao, and said with a smile: "There are many possible reasons.

The arrival of the war caused these monks to flee? This is impossible, because the villages of the plains are peaceful and quiet, and there is no trace of war.

The imperial court is dissatisfied with the Buddhism that does not produce, and the Son of Heaven destroys the Buddha? It is also impossible, because the monks will at least transfer all the ritual utensils, property, and scriptures in the temple before fleeing. Even if the monks don't move, the government will.

The local heroes joined forces and wiped out the entire temple overnight? Not to mention that there are no traces of burning swords and swords in the Guhan Temple, even if the temple is destroyed overnight, the farmers in the countryside below have already taken advantage of the past three years to sneak up the mountain and empty all the valuable pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches in the Guhan Temple.

After all impossibilities have been ruled out, the only possibility is the truth. ”

Li Ang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said quietly: "Three years ago, there was an extremely serious accident in the Guhan Temple, which not only made the local good men and women no longer visit the Buddhist temple.

It also made monks from other areas dare not come here to renovate,

It also made the poor and white rural Qiantou, Buddhist serfs and even the government stay away from the Guhan Temple, and they don't even dare to steal the property in the temple to subsidize their families. ”

"The system will not give a mortal mission, since it stipulates that we cannot leave the Lonely Han Temple more than five hundred meters, it means that the secret of cracking all this is in the Lonely Han Temple.

Figuring out what happened here three years ago will reveal the source of the weeping that has just come to an end, which is the key to our seven-day mission of survival. ”

Li Ang's analysis was over, Wan Li Fengdao looked confused, the Hui Yu monk looked adoring, Xing He looked at Li Ang thoughtfully, and Liu Wuxian was still the expressionless iceberg face.

In fact, Li Ang has not yet said another layer of speculation, the woman's arm sticking out of the plaque, and the cry of resentment heard outside the temple just now, I am afraid that it is also related to the truth of the incident.

It's a pity that he is the only one of the people present who has spiritual sense, and after the other party hides it, there is no trace of the spirit body.

I don't know which spirit is hostile or not....

Li Ang's mind turned quickly, but his face was still as calm as water, Xing Hechou hesitated and said, "Brother Li...."

"Don't mind," Li Ang glanced at Xing Hechou's face with the Chinese character Guang Weizheng written on it, the corners of his eyes twitched, and said, "Just call me Xiao Li." ”

"Okay, Xiao Li, can you ask what you do in the real world?"

Although Xing Hechou raised a question, he had no doubt that Li Ang would give answers such as "private detective" and "historian".

“.... Actually, I'm a cook. Leon sighed and replied, "They call me the youngest grandchef ever." ”

Wanli Fengdao, who claimed to be born in the 90s, almost choked on his own saliva, "You are the legendary chef Liu Angxin?" Embark on a quest to contend with the dark culinary world in search of legendary kitchenware? ”

Leon was surprised: "Oh? I didn't think you had heard of the legend I left behind on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Legendary soul?!" The corner of Wanlifengdao's eyes twitched: "Brother, if you don't want to expose the information of the real world, can you change it to a better reason?" ”

"Eh, didn't you get ceded?" Leon was disappointed.

"Only a fool can be deceived, right?!" Wanli Fengdao was speechless, and Xing Hechou, a strong man with a Chinese character face on the side, suppressed the urge to wipe his sweat - this middle-aged brother really hadn't read "China Banban", and almost wrote in his notes 'Search for young special chefs in the citizen database'

Li Ang nodded and said, "Actually, I'm a robot, a Chinese cannon that walks upright on both feet. ”

The corners of Wanlifengdao's eyes twitched wildly, "The span is so big, do you jump from human to non-human at once?" And who will remember the 2001 stalk of China Canon! I always feel that there is an obscene and silver atmosphere! ”

"Yo, are you complaining well?"

Li Ang's eyes widened and he looked at Wanli Sealing Knife, "You can catch my stalk, I didn't expect you to be really born in the 90s." ”

Wanli Fengdao said with empty eyes: "I told you, I just look a little old." ”

"Hmm..."Leon thought about what he should make up a reasonable source again, "Seeing the mask on my face, I am actually the Monkey King." ”

"Sure enough, like the Chinese Great Canon, he is not human at all." Wanli Sealing Knife continued to complain.

"Does it have to be human?" Leon nodded, "Agumon." ”

"That thing doesn't even have a basic human form, does it?!" Wanli Sealing Dao complained strongly: "And Taiyi who owns the Agu Beast is Japanese, right?" ”

"It's not the Japanese Taiyi, it's the Chinese Donghuang Taiyi."

"Even if you change your nationality, you can't change the fact that you are not human." Wanli's expression was quite tight,

Obviously, the new Lv3 player in front of him, who is quite smart, but his brain circuits are obviously different from ordinary people, makes him feel very powerless.

Seeing the two singing and interacting with each other, Master Hui Yu had never seen such an interesting situation, and couldn't help but stretch out ten green jade fingers, cover his mouth and chuckle,

Between the red lips and teeth, the charm and softness that was inadvertently outlined made Wanli Fengdao's whole body chill.

"It's okay, Xiao Li, if you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer,"

Xing Hechou broke the embarrassing situation, "I just asked casually, the first problem at the moment is to complete the task." ”

It's definitely a good thing to have a smart person in the team who can conduct intelligence analysis, but Xing Hechou, who was born in the field of the Special Affairs Bureau, doesn't plan to hand over the command of the team just like that.

After all, he is the highest-level Lv6 in the team, and he has an action guide edited by the think tank, so Xing Hechou is still a little confident in dealing with critical situations.

"I suggest that tonight, a fire be lit in the courtyard of the temple, and everyone should not act alone around the fire, and take turns to keep vigil for the night. Wait until tomorrow to search for the temple. ”

Xing Hechou said, "Xiao Li, what do you think?" ”

"I think it's OK."

Leon nodded and glanced at the sunset in the distance, "It's still a while before it gets dark, and I guess more changes will happen after nightfall." In the time before dark, it's a good idea to gather as few items as possible.

If you don't mind, Lao Xing, I suggest that you, the highest-ranking Venerable and this Venerable Hui Yu, go to the Scripture Pavilion to find the Buddhist scriptures on the cabinet.

If Master Hui Yu is professional enough, he should be able to judge the dynasty of this plot mission through the deadline of all Buddhist scriptures.

If Master Hui Yu didn't recognize any of the Buddhist scriptures, it would still prove that the background of this plot mission is not ancient China, but a different world in the sky.

By the way, after you have collected the sutras, remember to pack them and bring them to this courtyard, and those sutras may also be extraordinary items. ”

Master Hui Yu nodded, "The poor monk grew up in a Buddhist temple since he was a child, and he is familiar with the scriptures, so it is not a big problem to distinguish the age. ”

"It's better to be like this." Li Ang looked at Wanli Fengdao and Liu Wuxi: "The entire temple is empty, the most likely clue is in the presiding meditation room of this temple, I will go to the presiding meditation room to search for his personal belongings, and it is best to find the account book of money transactions in this temple."

It's just that my level is relatively low, and it is relatively unsafe for me to move alone, so which of you two will accompany me on a trip? ”

"I'll go." Liu Wuxian said expressionlessly.

Wanli Fengdao was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said hurriedly: "Hey, then what am I doing?" ”

Leon pouted, "Gather firewood and start a fire in the courtyard." ”

"I'm also Lv5 anyway, you let me go and make a fire?" Wanli Fengdao looked at Li Ang, who was still two levels behind him, and said quite unconvinced: "And doesn't splitting up in horror movies mean being broken one by one?" ”

Li Ang smiled: "We were given the task of surviving for seven days in a row, and generally speaking, the danger level will gradually increase during these seven days, and the first few days may be the safest."

After all, you are a Lv5 player, and your self-preservation ability is among the best in the entire team, so it is not a big problem for you to act alone.

I don't have to worry about you doing things. ”

After that, Li Ang ignored the Wanli Sealing Knife standing in place, turned his head and went straight to the presiding meditation room, Liu Wuxi, who was wearing a night robe and carrying a pitch-black compound bow, followed closely behind him.

Xing Hechou patted Wanli Fengdao's shoulder, and rushed to the library with Monk Huiyu.

After the four teammates left, the Wanli Sealing Knife standing in place came back to his senses, looked at the deep and dead courtyard, sighed his teeth, held a long sword in one hand, and honestly picked up the wooden branches that fell in the courtyard with the other, and muttered in his mouth,

"It's just a Lv3...."
