Chapter Twenty-Five: The Sky Dojo

I took a deep breath, resisted the chill, and put the bracelet engraved with the word 'auspicious' on the other wrist of the child's dried corpse.

"Don't worry, we'll do you justice."

There was no longer much horror, and what remained was anger that gradually filled his chest.

What is it that has lost their conscience and buried these children in this flower bed to provide 'nutrients' for this big tree?

I gritted my teeth, and Shen Li, who was beside me, opened her mouth, but she didn't look at the child's corpse in front of me, but at the white bones piled next to the child's corpse.

"Jiang Wangsheng, something is wrong.

The bones of so many children, if they were all abducted from all over the place by the people who planted this tree, then it is not an ordinary case.

But why, I've never heard the bureau mention it? ”

After Shen Li finished speaking, I also frowned.

Yes, if these children are abducted by people who planted trees, then the relatives of these children will definitely call the police.

And with so many children, the seriousness of their cases should have attracted the attention of the bureau a long time ago, but the bureau has never mentioned it, so there is only one possibility.

"The relatives of these children who were killed did not go to the police......"

I said, although I don't even believe in myself, but this is the only possibility.

Only if all the relatives of the murdered children did not report to the police, the bureau would not have known about the incident

However, if there is a child in the family who has been abducted, how can it not be called to the police?

I couldn't figure it out, but Shen Li looked at the wall where the bent tree trunk was buried, and the hand hanging by his side tightened his fist.

"It seems that we have to go next door to see what kind of person can do such an inhuman evil deed!"

I gritted my teeth and nodded, and then turned around with Shen Li and walked out of the big tree room.

Back in the Yin Banner room, Shen Li took out the compass again and walked back according to the north, while I used my mobile phone to call the police and told the police officer who answered the phone the exact location of us at this time and how to get in.

This time, because we didn't need to be cautious when we came, Shen Li and I quickly walked through the Yin Banner room, returned to the metal door, and opened the metal door with the same password.

A familiar dim light appeared in sight, of course, from the teahouse next door.

It's just that, along with the dim light, there are two wide-eyed faces......

Yes!

Dressed in gray clothes and wearing gossip hats, they were the two Taoist priests who came out of the secret passage of the wooden cabinet of the teahouse before, and they were also twisting the brooms for cleaning.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Li kicked the Taoist priest opposite him with a whip leg.

Of course, after I reacted, I pounced on the remaining Taoist priest, but what I didn't expect was that the other Taoist priest, after I pounced, instead of attacking me, actually "pounced" and fell to the ground with a "plop" and kept kowtowing to me.

"It's none of my business...... It's all done by the old man, it's none of my business! ”

"Now begging for mercy? It's late! ”

I glared, picked up the broom he had dropped on the ground, and slammed it on his shoulder without reservation, knocking him straight to the ground.

At the same time, a figure flashed over again, squatted down and slashed at the Taoist priest's neck, and the Taoist priest trembled, then lost his movement and fainted to death on the ground.

Of course, Shen Li, who had already solved another Taoist priest.

"Change into their clothes, it should work."

Shen Li said, I also nodded and took off the gray clothes and hat of the Taoist priest, put it on myself like Shen Li, and then dragged the two Taoist priests into the dark banner room with the metal door, and closed the door.

Without further ado, we entered the teahouse and explored the wardrobe in all directions, until we found a hidden button on the side of the wardrobe, and when I pressed it, there was a sound of rotation in the wardrobe, and then moved to the side.

poked his head and took a look, only to see that the secret passage behind the door of the wardrobe was a long corridor, but on the wall of the corridor, at intervals, there was a lamp, that is, the lamp, which slightly illuminated all parts of the corridor.

No one.

Shen Li and I looked at each other, raised our feet and wanted to enter, but a black shadow suddenly flashed behind us, and jumped straight into the flickering corridor.

At the same time, I was frightened, and I took a closer look, only to see that the one who jumped into the corridor was actually the black cat that disappeared when the two Taoist priests came out of the secret door just now.

Only this time, the black cat didn't wait for us at all, and jumped straight to the end of the corridor, turning the corner at the end of the corridor in three or two times, and disappeared from our sight.

Although I was puzzled, I didn't think much about it, and the anger in my heart pushed me, wanting to find out the murderer of those children as quickly as possible, and give justice and an explanation to those children who died in the flower beds!

Entering the corridor, the corridor is not whitewashed, maintaining the gray cement primary color, coupled with the fluttering firelight, it is quite like the feeling of the underground mausoleum in the costume TV series.

We walked forward in the corridor, because we were wearing the robes of the two Taoist priests, and we didn't have to be afraid of anything, until we reached the end of the corridor, turned the corner at the end, and for a while, our vision widened.

Yes, the view widened, because behind the corner at the end of the corridor was a cave-like space......

Yes! The space is as wide as a cave, and I don't know how many floors of office buildings have been rented and opened.

And on the walls of this cave space, at intervals, there are burning torches.

The flames lit up all parts of the cave, the most conspicuous of which was a stone platform in the deepest part of the cave and a large furnace placed on it.

Only at this time, except for the stove on the high platform, it was empty, and under the high platform, a large group of people were gathered who were talking.

Among them, young people account for a small part, the elderly are the majority, and there are also the old women we saw outside the iron gate before, and the middle-aged women holding the old lady.

"What are you doing with the pestle? Go and stand up, it's time to begin. ”

Without warning, a man's voice came from beside us, and my heart moved, and the man had already swept past us and walked to the side of the cave, where it was a Taoist priest who was also dressed in gray.

I gritted my teeth and was about to step forward, but Shen Li pulled my sleeve.

"Calm down first, don't startle the snake if you don't know the situation."

I took a deep breath and nodded, trying my best to suppress the anger in my heart, and followed Shen Li as he walked towards the Taoist priest on the side of the cave.

It wasn't until we followed the Taoist priest to approach the high platform and stood in the direction of the wall on one side of the high platform, that we found that there was a row of Taoist priests wearing gray clothes and gossip hats on both sides of the high platform.

Neatly and neatly, as if security, surrounded the crowd under the high platform.

And it was only because of the proximity that I could see that there was a huge statue carved on the wall of the cave in the depths of this high platform where the furnace was placed!

Yes, the huge statue, almost the height of the entire cave, the lower half of the body is exposed in the light of the furnace, and the upper half of the body is looming because the light of the fire does not shine.

I stared at my eyebrows, and then I saw clearly that this statue was carved with an old fairy, the old fairy closed his eyes, with a goat's long beard, one hand held the dust up, and the other hand was placed on the leg of the cross-legged, in the shape of a flower.

Not only that, but under the statue, there is also a bronze incense ash tripod, in which a few smoke-filled incense waxes are inserted.

Fuck ...... It's a dojo! A hidden dojo located in one of the busiest parts of our city!!

In the city of steel and concrete, there is such a dojo full of incense, and if I didn't know that there is an office building in Ginza outside, I would really think that this is really a cave.

But why should the dojo be built in the shadows that can't see the light?

I think that in the big tree room, the white bones of the child in the flower bed have revealed the answer a little.

This dojo, no matter how decent it is, must be a crooked demon!

Thinking of the pile of white bones that were dug up by Shen Li and the dried corpse of the child, I couldn't help but grit my teeth fiercely, and at this moment, under the huge stone carving in the depths of the cave, an emaciated figure walked up to the high platform.

Suddenly, the crowd that was still noisy in the audience quieted down.

And as the man walked up to the high platform, the flames in the furnace on the high platform also illuminated his figure.

Dressed in the same gray robe, wearing a hat with the same gossip pattern, the only difference from the Taoist priest standing next to us was that he held a long whisk.

The dust was leaning on his hand, leaning on his shoulder, and his goatee like a statue, not to mention, it was really a bit old-fashioned.

"Matsuri~~"

The old Taoist opened his mouth and waved the dust, and at the same time, several Taoist priests moved a large rectangular wooden platform from the cave against the wall opposite us.

On the large wooden platform, there is incense wax and a bronze tripod specially incense.

The Taoist priests put down the wooden platform and placed it under the high platform, and in front of the crowd, the gathered crowd came forward to worship, of course, facing the statue in the depths of the high platform.

And every person who comes forward to worship, whether it is most of the old people or a small number of young people, as long as they are incense stickers, they will put something on the side of the wooden platform when they leave.

There were gold and silver jewelry, and jade and agate, until the old lady we glimpsed in front of the iron gate, carrying a black box, opened it beside the Taoist priest on the big wooden platform, and said a few words.

Then, the Taoist priest pointed the open box towards the old Taoist on the high platform.

Lao Dao glanced at it, smiled at the old lady, nodded and said, "I have a heart", and let the old lady go up to the high platform and worship under the statue of the old immortal in the depths of the high platform.

Grass......

I cursed in my heart, of course I knew, the old lady's black box was full of money!

A box of money! In exchange for the opportunity to worship under the statue of the old immortal, this dojo is much stronger than deception such as venture capital!

The former, at least have to say that no one can be fooled, and in this dojo, just the old Taoist said the word 'sacrifice', so many people are willing to give money and make offerings.

Are these people stupid?

But it's just that the elderly have a low awareness of prevention, and what about the small number of young people?
