Chapter 80: Discovering the Clues
Although Zhou Chen's thoughts in his heart were very heavy, he didn't show any abnormal look on the surface at all.
Seeing Zhou Chen bow slightly, he chuckled and thanked the white-clothed disciple and said, "Trouble Master!" ”
The white-clothed disciple bowed slightly, and he also responded with a smile: "The laymen don't have to be polite, and please come with me." ”
After the words in his mouth fell, the white-clothed disciple turned around and walked in, leading Zhou Chen and the others straight towards the statue of the godless old mother.
After passing through the dense and heavy crowd, Zhou Chen and the others were finally within easy reach of the statue of the godless mother.
Without any hesitation or hesitation, all the people who followed Zhou Chen stepped forward and began to carefully probe the statue of the childless old mother.
As officials of the Ming Dynasty, these people have always scoffed at those heretical beliefs.
Even now, the vision of the miracle of the lifeless old mother is spreading throughout Youyu County.
But the officials did always agree that this was nothing more than a trick by the heretical sects to spread the faith.
Seeing that the few people who were following Zhou Chen began to check the surroundings of the statue of the Childless Old Mother, the white-clothed disciples didn't care much at all.
Zhou Chen's performance was not the only exception, before that, those who were also suspicious of the miracle of this childless old mother.
It's just that no matter how these people check it, they don't return the slightest anomaly at all.
It is precisely because the statue of the childless mother is really growing out of the soil little by little, that these people are so convinced and worship the childless mother.
In the eyes of those white-clothed disciples, Zhou Chen and they were also not exempted, and when they finished the examination, they would be convinced of this miracle.
Although these white-clothed disciples had good ideas, it was a pity that they underestimated the extraordinary nature of the group of people under Zhou Chen's command.
Tie Shaotang and those few Right Yulin Wei Qianhu are okay, they are good at military affairs, and they have never known much about these ghost tricks.
Even if they let them see through the sky, they can't see the slightest bit wrong.
However, the rest of the people are completely different, Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the two brocade guards of the hundreds, are all good at spying on intelligence and investigating the scene.
After walking around the statue of the childless old mother for a few laps, Chen Yun and Xu Yan both made some discoveries.
As for the tyrant who has just taken office in the history of Youyu County, although he has no experience in solving cases, he also has his own clues.
You must know that Badao is the top master in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is meticulous in his control.
As soon as he walked around the statue of the Immortal Virgin, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.
The mud around the statue of Our Lady of Life is a little softer than the normal dirt here.
Although the difference between the two was not very obvious, he immediately noticed it when the overlord stepped on it.
Then, I saw Badao walking back to Zhou Chen's side with light steps, and whispered in his ear: "Childe, my subordinates found that the soil around that statue is a little different from the soil here. ”
After forgetting the report of the overlord in his ears, Zhou Chen just nodded quietly, but he opened his mouth to say something.
At this time, Chen Yun and Xu Yan also returned to Zhou Chen's side.
After these two masters who were extremely proficient in surveying the scene glanced at each other, Xu Yan approached Zhou Chen's side.
Xu Yan also whispered in the same voice, and reported to Zhou Chen: "My lord, I found that there is something wrong with the soil around the statue of the lifeless old mother god.
The earth was so full of moisture that it was as if someone was constantly pouring water around the statue of the god.
He believed that as long as the soil under the statue of the godless mother was excavated, he would be able to find the secret of the daily growth of the statue. ”
Zhou Chen nodded silently, and he personally walked towards the statue of the lifeless old mother.
Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the two masters of the Jinyi Guard who were proficient in surveying the scene, as well as the powerful and advanced sword of martial arts, all said that the soil around the statue of the Immortal Mother was wrong.
Nine times out of ten, the reason for the growing height of this idol is the problem of soil.
It's just that for the sake of insurance, Zhou Chen still plans to go forward and investigate himself.
The footsteps slowly stopped and then in front of the statue of the godless old mother, Zhou Chen raised his eyes and carefully looked at the statue, but this was just Zhou Chen's superficial actions.
In the dark, he mobilized the star power in himself, condensed it into silk threads running in the meridians of his legs, and finally submerged into the soil from the spring points on the soles of his feet.
With Zhou Chen's current innate realm of martial arts, his star power, which is essentially innate true qi, can be several zhang away from his body.
If this statue of the godless mother can really grow up day by day because of the mystery hidden under the soil, then Zhou Chen doesn't believe it, the mystery under this statue can be several feet deep?
Sure enough, as Zhou Chen expected, the star power he was running and condensed was a few feet deep in the soil, and finally gave him feedback on the abnormal situation.
Although Zhou Chen couldn't figure out what the mystery hidden under the statue of the lifeless old mother was, judging from the feedback of that star power, Zhou Chen was completely sure that there would definitely not be dirt underneath the statue.
After thoroughly confirming the cattiness of this lifeless old mother statue, Zhou Chen couldn't help but turn his head and cast an ordinary glance at the white-clothed disciples.
The corners of his mouth slightly curved slightly, Zhou Chen stared at the white-clothed disciples tightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask these masters, is this statue really a miracle descended by the so-called lifeless old mother?!" ”
The moment Zhou Chen's words fell, the audience immediately fell into an uproar.
Except for the officials who came with Zhou Chen, the rest of the people and the few white-clothed disciples all cast disgusted glances at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's question was tantamount to questioning the childless old mother they admired in public, how could they accept it?
