Chapter 7: The Elder is in Prison

"Looks like something must have happened here!" Di Renjie squatted down, looked through a few fragments of the statue and said!

"Sir, this bloodstain has dried up, and something should have happened for a while, but why is there still incense in the incense burner outside this temple, and there is still a candle on the incense table! Look at the extent of the incense candle burning, it should have been lit this morning! Li Yuanfang looked around and said!

"Hmmm! I think I know why we can't knock on the door in the village! Di Renjie said!

"Why?" Li Yuanfang asked puzzled!

"Although there is no one in this temple, but the incense has not been broken, it should be that the villagers learned that the statue collapsed, afraid that the gods would blame, so they lit coarse wax outside the temple gate, burned high incense, and could only hide at home at night and dare not go out! From the location of this temple, it can be seen that this Guandi Temple has a lofty status in the hearts of the villagers! Di Renjie said!

"Hmmm! What the gentleman said has a point! Looks like there was a fierce fight here, huh? Li Yuanfang said approvingly!

"Oh? How did Yuan Fang make such a judgment? Di Renjie asked!

"Sir, you watched the incense case fall down, the offering fruit was scattered all over the ground, and even the statues in this temple were shattered, isn't the fight fierce enough?" Li Yuanfang asked puzzled!

"What you say seems reasonable, but I don't think that's the case!" Di Renjie said thoughtfully!

"Oh? Why does the gentleman say that? Li Yuanfang asked puzzled!

"Look at this, although there is not much blood here, it has also seeped into this brick crevice, and some gray and white things can be seen in this brick crevice, if I guess correctly, this should be the brains of people or animals!" Di Renjie said lightly!

"Huh? Brains? The brains are all out, isn't the fight fierce enough? Li Yuanfang asked!

"Hmmm! It's really intense, but it's not formed in a fight! Di Renjie stroked his beard and said!

"Why is that?" Li Yuanfang was a little confused!

"First, although this hall looks a little messy, as if it has gone through a fierce fight, but you look at the distance between the Guan Gong statue and Zhou Cang Guan Ping, why did you just break one Guan Gong statue, but these two statues did not move at all? Second, you look at the hall, although the footprints on the scene are disorganized, but there is no trace of dragging, you are a person who practices martial arts, let me ask people in the process of fighting, how can all the footprints be so complete? And ......"

"Sir! Someone! ”

Before Di Renjie finished speaking, Li Yuanfang suddenly said vigilantly!

Just when Di Renjie was stunned, the temple door was suddenly opened, and a team of officials rushed in and surrounded the main hall!

"Who are you?" A headcatcher-looking man shouted and asked!

"In Xia Huaiying, the people of Bingzhou are a Fang Langzhong, this is my apprentice, this is our official guide!" As he spoke, Di Renjie took out the paperwork from his arms and handed it over!

He took it and took a look, but he didn't return it, and suddenly shouted, "Come on! Take down the two thieves! ”

"What are you doing? Why arrest people for no reason? Li Yuanfang stepped forward and stood in front of Di Renjie!

"Why? According to what our lord said, the living person who appeared in this temple tonight must be related to the murder! Come on, take it! The first arrester gave an order, and a group of officials rushed up with shackles!

Di Renjie pulled Li Yuanfang, Li Yuanfang understood at the time, and let the catcher quickly shackle the two, and was pushed out of the gate of Guandi Temple!

Soon the two were thrown into the cell of the Qingshan County Ya, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe!

"Stay honest inside, waiting for the master to come to the hall tomorrow!" After the official finished speaking, he locked the cell door!

"You don't look like you're locals, huh? How did you get caught here? The middle-aged man in the Taoist robe asked!

Di Renjie looked at this person slightly, and saw that this person had a bun on his head, his face was a little pale, he was wearing a green sermon robe, and he was wearing black Taoist shoes with a cocked head on his feet!

"Dao Chief's mercy! I don't know where the immortals live? Di Renjie folded his hands and saluted!

"Courteous sir! I am the temple of the Guandi Temple of Baishi Mountain, I don't know the two of you? The Taoist returned the salute and said!

"Huh?" Li Yuanfang exclaimed on the side!

"My name is Huaiying, and I am from the state, I am a person who walks Fang Langzhong, this is my apprentice, don't hide it, the two of us were taken here from the Guandi Temple! I wonder what happened in this temple? Di Renjie asked!

The Taoist gave a deep salute, "Mr. Haihan, Mo Qingfeng apologized to the two gentlemen, and caused trouble to the two, no wonder!" ”

"Mo Daochang doesn't have to blame himself, everything has a fate! I also hope that the Taoist will give you advice! Di Renjie picked up the Taoist and said!

The Taoist looked at Di Renjie and told what happened in the temple......

On this morning, a person came to the temple of Emperor Guan, who was drunk and disheveled, and entered the temple gate slowly.

"This strong man, don't disturb the gods, and please quit!"

"Get out of the way, what gods are not gods, Lao Tzu is a god, Lao Tzu is a spirit! Now that Lao Tzu is tired, Lao Tzu is going to rest here! Saying that, the strong man pushed the temple aside and walked into the main hall by himself, and actually grabbed the fruit on the incense table and ate it, and ate two bites!

"Phew! What rotten fruit! The drunkard may feel that the offering fruit is not fresh, and in a fit of anger, he kicks over the incense case on the offering table!

"This strong man, such a blasphemy, if the gods blame, you are not afraid ......" Miao Zhu shouted again and again!

"A bunch of clay sculptures, what's the big deal, Lao Tzu wants to rest here, I think he can do anything to Lao Tzu?" After saying that, he fell asleep in front of the idol!

Seeing this, the pilgrims who came to offer incense sneered and left, and Miao Zhu had no choice but to let him do evil here!

Until dark, this person was still sleeping soundly in the main hall, and Miao Zhu really had no choice but to let him go, sighed and shook his head, and went back to his room!

In the middle of the night, Miao Zhu was looking at the scriptures in the room, and gradually, Miao Zhu was addicted to the content of the scriptures, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the main hall!

"Ah......h

Miaozhu hurriedly got up to check, and found that the statue of Guan Gong in the main hall was shattered, and the strong man who was sleeping soundly in the main hall had his head shattered at this time, and he was unrecognizable!

Miaozhu was so frightened that he screamed, stumbled out of the main hall, and hurriedly reported to the official!

"Daoist Mo, hearing you say this, you should be the informant, how can you be arrested in this cell?" Li Yuanfang asked!

"Mr. didn't know, the county lord took someone to the temple to check, I recounted the story before and after, said that this person's behavior in the temple may have offended the gods, and was punished by God, but the county lord didn't believe my words at all, saying that I was alarmist, and said that there were only two of us in the temple this night, and I had the biggest suspicion!" Miao Zhu Mo Qingfeng said with some grievances!

"I see that the villagers at the bottom of the mountain are all closed, is it also related to this matter?" Di Renjie asked!

"Mr. Huai is really smart, that's right, as soon as the official came, the villagers found out, the official carried out the body, and the villagers recognized it as the drunk who blasphemed the gods, so the people in the neighborhood said that Guan Gong appeared and came to burn incense, the local villagers have always been simple, and they have more respect for the saints, and now that this happened, they may be afraid of colliding with the gods, so they dare not go out! After the county magistrate surveyed the temple, there was no result, and finally locked me up here! Alas! After Miao Zhu finished speaking, he couldn't stop sighing!

"In this way, does the Dao Chief think that this person was really ordered by the gods?" Di Renjie asked!

"I can't think of anything else other than that, I heard the noise and rushed over, and I didn't find a single figure! When I arrived at the main hall, I found that this man had been stoned to death on the spot by the idol! Although this Guan Gong statue is made of clay, it is also a few hundred catties, how can people still live if they are smashed down? In my opinion, this is Guan Gong's apparition! Miao Zhu Mo Qingfeng said with some trepidation!

"It's unheard of, it's weird! If only you could see the bodies of the dead! Di Renjie said to himself!

"What did you say, sir?" Miaozhu asked!

"Oh! It's nothing, Mo Daochang, how long have you been in this Guandi Temple? Di Renjie didn't answer, but asked!

"Mr. Hui, this Guandi Temple was built by my ancestor, the last temple was my master, I followed my master here at the age of four, and then after the death of the family teacher, I took over the temple Zhu, more than 30 years ago!" The temple wishes Mo Qingfeng seems to evoke some memories!

"Oh! I see, thank you Mo Daochang! I'm bothered today, and if I'm right, I'm afraid we'll be going to have to go to church tomorrow morning! Di Renjie said meaningfully!
