Chapter Eighty-Three: The Exotic Buddha Country
!
Recently, I have often hallucinated, and now I have passed out again, He Zhi thinks it should be because of the sequelae of being thrown into the lake by Ge Minghao last time and hurting his head. She didn't think deeply, but Ke Yang had to think. Recalling the first detail just now, he felt that there must be something wrong with his hand. When his hand held He Zhi's hand, he could feel the shiver coming from He Zhi's body.
Ke Yang stared at the slightly shiny black spots in his palms for a long time, and didn't know whether he should go to the hospital to find a doctor to help him remove them. He believed in the physical sciences and life sciences, and would never be blinded by gods and demons.
The mobile phone sent a new message reminder, clicked on it and saw the photo sent by his sister Ke Xing, Ke Yang couldn't help but stand up.
In the photo, there is a piece of charred black soil, and you can roughly tell that it was once a large courtyard.
"Huang Banxian's house is on fire, and it burned all afternoon before it was extinguished. The strange thing is that at that time, Huang Banxian's house was on fire everywhere, but the peach blossom tree behind the courtyard was not on fire. Many villagers said that the peach tree was a sacred tree, and they all ran in and rushed to cut down the branches, and I also cut a peach branch and came back, hoping to ward off disasters and evil spirits. ”
Seeing Ke Xing's information, Ke Yang estimated that the time when Huang Banxian's house caught fire was not long after he left.
"Your sister also went to the fire to grab the peach branches? No matter how old the person is, it's not worrying. If the peach branches can dispel disasters and ward off evil spirits, the yellow half-immortal still needs to die! ”
Mrs. Ke was afraid that He Zhi would laugh at her daughter for engaging in feudal superstition, so she hurriedly proved her innocence.
At this time, Xiao Nan sent a message that the tin box forensics department brought back by Ke Yang worked overtime to test the results came out.
Inside the tin box is a Buddhist card, which can be judged from the pattern on the Buddhist card from Southeast Asia. The relevant equipment did not detect the radioactive material in the tin box, and the colleague wearing protective clothing had opened the tin box and took pictures.
Enlarge the photo, and the pattern inside the Buddha card is distinct. A white elephant god and Buddha wearing a wreath on his head in a dancing posture, a pair of crescent-like elephant eyes seem to be squinting, two black eyes seem to be looking directly at you, no matter what aspect you are, you can't escape the sight of those elephant eyes.
"This is the elephant god of Bulguksa Temple, guarding marriage and love."
He Zhi pointed to the picture on her phone and said with certainty. When she was studying abroad, she would travel to some historical places every winter and summer vacation, and the Buddha country was the first country she went to, and she almost wanted to buy one for the Buddhist cards peddled outside the Buddha Temple.
At that time, I heard an eldest sister behind her say that if you ask for a Buddha card, you should dedicate blood on your fingertips, and the Buddha card will ask for a spirit, so she dispelled the urge to buy a Buddha card.
"Then this is a good Buddha."
Ke Yang did not study Buddhism, let alone went to the Buddha Temple. I don't understand how such an exotic spirit Buddha who guards beautiful love and marriage can become a filthy thing that Huang Banxian can't avoid.
At that time, Huang Banxian took out the Buddha card from the dinosaur doll and threw it into the water basin and took it away, Ke Yang thought that it was Huang Banxian playing a show, and he didn't think that there was really something hidden on the doll.
"A Buddha is a good Buddha, but he is afraid of being taken advantage of."
He Zhi figured out at this time, during the days when Doudou was taken back by Wu Tongzhou to live, Wu Tongzhou hid the Buddha card in Doudou's dinosaur doll.
"It's horrible! What exactly does Wu Tongzhou want to do? ”
Thinking that Doudou lives every day in the room where Wu Tongzhou's mother's body is hidden, and still holds a Buddhist card in her hand that may have been used for witchcraft, it is no wonder that she closes her heart and does not want to face the sun and communicate with people.
Xiao Nan then called.
"Wu Tongzhou withdrew the appeal after knowing that we had discovered the secret he was hiding in the walls."
"Is he worried that adding evidence of his crime will increase his sentence?"
Ke Yang naturally thought that Song Meijun's death was related to Wu Tongzhou. The case of killing his mother has existed since ancient times, and with Wu Tongzhou's perverted character, it is likely that after learning that his mother was cheating, he killed with extreme hatred.
"Song Meijun's body has been well preserved, and after a comprehensive autopsy, Song Meijun died of a heart attack. That is, she died in her sleep. According to Wu Tongzhou's confession, he didn't want his mother to die and become an orphan at that time, so he put his mother in the freezer. The freezer used to be hidden in the basement of the villa, and after he married He Jing, he renovated the house and moved the freezer to the dark layer of the new house. ”
Xiao Nan smiled bitterly and said:
"The entrance to the basement of Wu Tongzhou's villa is on the first floor, blocked by a kitchen cabinet, and we have searched so many times that we have not found it. I don't think I'm qualified to be the head of the criminal investigation team, and I've submitted a transfer report to the above......"
"Xiao Nan, don't say that, you are already very good. I've seen that cupboard too, and it's filled with many cups and dishes, and who would have thought that there was a secret passage behind it. The villa in Furong Ridge does not have a supporting basement, and no one would have thought that his family would build one privately. Ten years ago, I was involved in a case during my internship, but I couldn't find any basement, so I was in charge. ”
Hearing Xiao Nan's voice, she was very depressed, and it was estimated that the strange cases that kept emerging during this period of time hit her too hard, and now her husband was lying unconscious in the hospital, which was equivalent to pushing down the hardest backer in her heart.
"Ke Yang, you don't have to persuade me. I know what I'm doing, you can find a way to wake up my husband, I trust his tips. There must be something wrong with that amulet. I know that the Buddha card is Wu Tongzhou's ghost, but he refuses to speak, I believe that only you can find out the secret of the Buddha card. ”
Xiao Nan had already found out that during the winter vacation twelve years ago, Wu Tongzhou traveled abroad with his mother to the country of Buddhism. She believes that Wu Tongzhou's trip to the Buddha country must be related to the secret of the Buddha card.
A small amulet has caused two strong men to lie unconscious in the hospital, and it seems that the deaths of Xiang Qin and Ma Yong are also somehow related to the amulet.
Ke Yang decided to go to the Buddha country, and of course He Zhi wanted to go with him. He Zhi is familiar with the culture and language of Buddhism, and she is revisiting the old place, can there be a more suitable companion than He Zhi?
Ke Yang retrieved the amulet that had been repacked into the tin box and began to pack his luggage and prepare for the trip.
At this time, the summons of the court also came down, and after He Zhi asked her lawyer Tao Ya, she determined that she could file a lawsuit even if she did not have to appear in court, so she decided to hand it over to Tao Ya to deal with.
But the lawsuit involves Doudou, and Doudou must stay in Suicheng.
It was not that she was worried about handing over Doudou to Ke Yang's mother, He Zhi, but she was worried that Ke Yang's mother would not be able to take care of Niuniu and Doudou. In case Doudou sneaks out and is taken away by the private detective that Lan Hao may invite at any time, then her efforts for so long will be in vain.
But apart from Ke Yang's mother, it seems that there is no second person who can help bring Doudou.
At this time, Xiao Nan happened to come over to have something, and when she heard He Zhi and Ke Yang's troubles, she immediately said that she was willing to help take care of Doudou.
"But your husband ......"
How dare He Zhi ask Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan is at this time when her career and family are at their lowest, and asking her to help take care of the children is tantamount to causing trouble for her.
"Don't worry, I'm on a long vacation now, and I have nothing to do except go to the doctor to accompany my husband. If I let Doudou accompany me, I can still learn to tell stories, and I can also tell my husband about it when the time comes. A sickness like his should be heard, and he should be happy to hear a child's voice. Oh, if you don't want Doudou to go to the hospital, I can call my mom over, and let my mom stay home with Doudou when I go to the hospital. ”
"That's not good."
Ke Yang felt that Xiao Nan really wanted to help him and He Zhi, but he always felt that it was inappropriate to do so.
Seeing that Ke Yang and He Zhi were still hesitant, Xiao Nan was anxious, it was most suitable for her to bring Doudou, so as to avoid the suspicion that He Zhi had imprisoned Doudou privately. After Wu Tongzhou was arrested, Lan Hao was Doudou's righteous and obedient guardian, and Lan Hao is now suing He Zhi, and it is precisely because He Zhi detained his daughter without his consent.
Knowing that Aunt He Zhi and Uncle Ke Yang were going out of the house, and Niuniu's grandmother couldn't take care of it alone, Doudou obediently climbed into Xiao Nan's car and waved at He Zhi and Ke Yang outside the car window. Looking at Doudou's distressingly well-behaved appearance, He Zhi almost shook her determination to travel far away.
In front of Bulguksa Temple, there are many natives who come and go to sell Buddhist cards. Seeing Ke Yang and He Zhi looking at them, two women wearing fruit wrap skirts and silver crowns glanced at each other and walked towards Ke Yang and He Zhi.
A woman reached out and counted the Buddhist cards in the crook of her other hand and pointed them to He Zhi, speaking stiff language.
"She thought we were Koreans. Ask us if we want to ask the amulet to go back, so that we can bless a happy and beautiful life. ”
He Zhi explained to Ke Yang that she looked at the Buddha card on the woman's arm and did not find the white elephant Buddha card.
"Is there this? All I need is this. ”
Ke Yang took out the tin box from his bag, raised it to his chest and tilted it slightly, and opened the lid to the woman. His face was facing the lid of the box, and instead of looking at the amulet in the box, he was observing the reaction of the women who sold the amulet cards when they saw the box in his hand.
The woman who came up first saw the Buddha card in the tin box at first glance, as if she had seen something terrifying, her dark eyes widened in shock, and her thick black lips looked incredulous, and then a layer of cold sweat broke out on her black face, and she hurriedly ran away as if she had a few strokes on her forehead and chest.
The expressions of the other women who came up were almost the same as the women just now, and in the blink of an eye, Ke Yang was deserted in front of him, and no one stepped forward to do business.
"Did you hear what they said?"
When the women left, they all had words in their mouths, but unfortunately Ke Yang couldn't understand a word, so they had to ask He Zhi for advice.
He Zhi shook her head, she looked at the women who had scattered around and were no longer approaching, her face was pale, as if she had also been frightened in some way.
Ke Yang didn't let He Zhi see the Buddha card, and in order to prevent accidents, he deliberately avoided He Zhi's sight. He also always takes care to protect himself from head-on "conflicts" with the amulet.
"Are you okay?"
Ke Yang put away the tin box and stepped forward to look at He Zhi's face.
"I'm fine, why do you think I'm bad."
Afraid that Ke Yang would find out what was on her mind, He Zhi hurriedly turned her head to look at the tall golden-domed Buddhist temple.
She understood the women, but she couldn't tell Ke Yang. She felt that if that kind of words came out of her mouth, it would be like chopsticks that had fallen into a pit, and even if they were cleaned, they would not be used to eat again.
"Let's go inside, the sun is about to set."
When the sun sets, the temple is closed and no guests are left, and Ke Yang's maze can only be explained by asking the senior monks in the temple.
He Zhi walked into the golden temple gate first.
Ke Yang has never been to a foreign temple and doesn't know the rules, but he thinks that the rules of temples in the world should be similar, not loud and loud, walking lightly and steadily, and respecting and humble if you don't worship Buddha statues.
Ke Yang looked down at the shadow of the sunset shining through the hollow window under his feet, and had forgotten that he had followed He Zhi into the first Buddha hall. The surroundings are very quiet, not like the people rushing when they first enter the temple gate.
"Ke Yang."
Hearing He Zhi call his name in a low voice, Ke Yang looked forward and saw He Zhi followed by an old monk in an orange and red robe walking in front of him.
"This is Master Pushilong, you can show him the amulet."
The old monk's face was thin, his robe was draped diagonally, half of his shoulders were exposed, his brown cheeks seemed to have just been roasted in the fire, and his hands were on his chest, and his expression was neither sad nor joyful. A pair of eyes seemed to be open, and it was impossible to see where his gaze was looking.
Ke Yang took out the tin box and opened it to the old monk. The old monk's eyebrows jumped, a pair of lowered eyes widened, he reached out and took out the Buddha card from the tin box, looked at the sunset that came through the hollow window, and found a strange pronunciation in his mouth.
Obviously, He Zhi didn't understand Pu Shilong's words either, and she stared at the Buddha card that was completely bathed in the sunset like Ke Yang.
The white statue carved on the Buddha plaque becomes very transparent in the light, and you can clearly see a dark substance that is faintly floating and flooding like clouds and smoke.
The old monk said another sentence, and He Zhi understood it this time, and immediately said that the Buddha card was bought here by a friend twelve years ago.
"No, I didn't buy this."
Master Pushilong shook his head again and again. He Zhi thought that her statement offended the taboo of the Buddhist family, and immediately added that the White Elephant God Buddha card was invited back by a friend.
"No, this is not a Buddha card, this is a Yin card."
"Ah, what's the Yin card?"
Hearing the name, he felt that it was not an auspicious thing, and He Zhi stared nervously at Master Pushilong.
She went to the apse and sincerely kowtowed to Master Azan, who seemed to be the right one. Sure enough, I recognized the Buddha card of this evil sect.
Pu Shilong didn't answer He Zhi's question, put down the Buddha card held in the sun and returned it to Ke Yang, and then stared at Ke Yang up and down.
Ke Yang was stared at by the old monk uncomfortably, and he reached out and pulled the placket for fear that there would be something wrong with him. According to He Zhi, he should be particular about dressing when entering the Buddha Temple, and he has deliberately worn a formal suit and trousers.
The old monk suddenly reached out and grabbed Ke Yang's right hand, Ke Yang instinctively clasped the old monk's wrist with his backhand, and in He Zhi's surprised reminder, Ke Yang hurriedly let go of Pu Shilong's hand.
"Show me your hands."
Pu Shilong stretched out his hand, looked at Ke Yang awkwardly and said with a smile.
After listening to He Zhi's translation, Ke Yang put his hand in the old monk's hand.
Pu Shilong flipped Ke Yang's palm and looked at the black dot like a needle in Ke Yang's palm. His expression became gloomy, and he muttered a strange word in his mouth, took Ke Yang's hand in front of his eyes and looked at it again, then put it down, and let out a long sigh.
"What did he just say?"
Ke Yang estimated that the old monk must have seen the strangeness in his palm, but He Zhi didn't translate, so he could only be in a hurry.
"I don't understand."
He Zhi sighed helplessly. The old monk muttered as if it was an ancient scripture, even if she was proficient in Buddhist Chinese, she didn't understand Buddhist scriptures.
