Chapter 150: The Secret Meeting of the Tower Temple
Luo Hui stopped and said, "You two go back first, I still have some business." ”
Lisa worried, "Team Cats, what's the matter with you this big night?" The situation in Hetang Town is very complicated now, there are eyes of the three major families everywhere, it's too dangerous for you to be alone outside, as the captain of the Tianzi Action Team, if something happens, how can I explain to everyone and the boss. ”
Luo Hui was afraid that people would run away and not be able to catch up, so he said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, you can go back first." ”
Lisa didn't have time to dissuade Luo Hui and ran into the alley, so Lisa had no choice but to give up and go back with Xiao Hei first.
Luo Hui followed the owner of the wonton stall, only to see him sneaky, stopping from time to time to observe the movements behind him, if it weren't for Luo Hui's excellent tracking skills when he was a criminal policeman, he would have been discovered long ago.
After about ten minutes of following, the wonton stall owner came to the foot of a mountain in the southern suburbs, and ran up along a stone ladder, the mountain road stone ladder is not as good as the street, there is no cover, and in the dead of night, it is easy to be found if he just follows, and Luo Hui has no choice but to stop.
Luo Hui was anxious, looked around, and found a rusty iron plate on the side of the stone staircase.
The iron plate was shaded by dense leaves, he lifted the leaves and looked at it, it was a tourist road sign, the tour road sign was printed with the introduction and the stone ladder route, the original mountain was called Nantang Mountain, the stone ladder was built in the Tang Dynasty, a temple that can lead to the top of the mountain, this temple was once a Nestorian temple in the Tang Dynasty, and was later considered by the locals to be a heretical sect, which was burned by a fire, and then rebuilt into a landscape tower, which can overlook the whole picture of the entire Hetang Town, and became a place where many literati and writers in later generations chanted poetry, The tour signs also list some famous literati and artists who have been here, and it has been made a tourist attraction in modern times, but the town of Hetang has used the water town as a promotion, so it is not very famous.
There is also a yellowed notice posted on the tour street sign, probably saying that the middle section of the stone ladder collapsed due to a landslide, and the middle section of the stone ladder is very dangerous near the cliff, and the relevant departments have carried out maintenance, but there was an accident during the period that led to many deaths, so the maintenance project was shelved, and the relevant departments have been studying a good way to repair this section of the stone ladder, but they have not found a way for a long time, and it has been abandoned until today, and it has been two years from the time of the notice.
This made Luo Hui wonder more and more, what was the wonton stall owner doing in such a dangerous place in the middle of the night? Obviously, there was some special reason, remembering the scene of several contacts with the wonton stall owner, Luo Hui realized that there was something wrong with this person, maybe the wonton stall owner was just a cover to cover up his true identity!
Seeing that the owner of the wonton stall had run away, Luo Hui couldn't care about anything, and followed his heart sideways.
Luo Hui ran to the middle section and came to the landslide, it was really very dangerous here, the stone ladder was built by hanging against the cliff at all, just like the ancient plank road, Luo Hui was amazed, and admired the ingenuity of the ancient craftsmen.
This section of the collapsed stone ladder remains the wooden piles and scaffolding that were played during maintenance, there are several collapses on the stone ladder, you can see the cliff when you look down, it is indeed very dangerous, although the stone ladder is reinforced with wooden stakes under it, but it is still terrifying to go up, the gravel falls, and the relationship between the mountain wind makes people shaky.
Luo Hui clinged to the cliff and rock wall, like a crab rampant, finally passed without danger, Luo Hui ran up the stone ladder on the top of the mountain, and found that the top of the mountain was very empty, overgrown with weeds, a five- or six-story tower temple stood there, and a big cross was built on the top of the tower temple, but it was already crooked.
Only then did Luo Hui know that Nestorianism in the Tang Dynasty was inextricably linked with Christianity, and he knew nothing about religious culture, and if he hadn't seen the cross, he wouldn't have known what sect Nestorianism was.
Luo Huimao arrived at the edge of the tower temple, looked around, and saw a stone statue of a western face, estimated to be a stone statue of Jesus, the stone statue has been covered with moss, mottled and broken, the age is very long, there is a stone ladder that winds upwards to the top of the tower, and there is a faint sound from above.
Luo Hui frowned, it turned out that the owner of the wonton stall was here to meet with whom, Hetang Town is so big, where can't he have a secret meeting? But he went to such a remote and dangerous place to meet people, it seems that the person he saw must have a very special identity.
Strong curiosity drove Luo Hui to quietly touch the stone staircase, and the sound came more and more clearly.
The owner of the wonton stall said nervously: "Lord Zuo, I have been lurking in Hetang Town for more than 20 years, building a bridge for the Guo family and the organization to transmit news, deliver materials, and deliver funds, and do my best for the organization, and fulfill my due duties, now the Tianzi Action Team has entered Hetang Town, I will try my best to assist the Guo family, the Wang family and the Zhao family according to the organization's instructions, our opponent is not stupid, I am afraid that my identity will be exposed soon, and if I stay any longer, my life will not be guaranteed, can I be withdrawn?" ”
The cold voice of the left envoy came: "I think you are afraid of them, right?" Otherwise, the money has scraped enough, and you plan to return to your hometown? Have you forgotten who you are? ”
Luo Hui was shocked, but he didn't expect that the owner of the wonton stall was the eyeliner planted in Hetang Town by the Chiyou organization!
The wonton stall owner's tone suddenly changed, and he said timidly: "Lord Zuo, you, what are you talking about, how can I be afraid of them, how much money can I earn from a wonton stall, I have never forgotten that I am the ...... of the dragon incense master of the Chiyou organization." ”
The left envoy interrupted viciously: "Don't give me this set!" Don't think that Emperor Shangao is far away and no one knows what you are doing in Hetang Town, you have been maneuvering between several major antique wealthy merchant families, and you have made a lot of money and water from it, and the nickname of Bao is not a waste of fame, Lord Longxiang. ”
The owner of the wonton stall shuddered: "Lord Zuo, I think I have been lurking in the lotus pond for so long, and the organization often needs me to do this and that, if I don't have financial support, I can't move freely, and the wonton stall can't support my activities at all, and I have to do it......." ”
Zuo Envoy snorted coldly: "Okay, the organization is not unkind, I don't care how much oil and water you have made from it over the years, in short, don't forget your identity and responsibilities, the lord has an order, you must continue to stay in Hetang Town, and there is one last task to be handed over to you, as long as you complete it, you can withdraw from Hetang Town, and when the time comes, whether you want to quit the organization, continue to be your incense master or not." ”
The wonton stall owner said excitedly: "Really? ”
The left envoy snorted: "Of course it's true. ”
The wonton stall owner said impatiently: "Then this task is ......." ”
The left envoy said, "Come here, this task is ......." ”
