Chapter 170: What Buddha
The fifteen people scolded me and told me to continue walking along the wall of the well, and not long away a rope hung down from the firelight. Fifteen people told me to climb up first, don't play tricks, he is behind, if you are not honest, wait to be stabbed.
He untied the rope from my wrist, and I didn't really want to do anything, go out and talk about it. This well is a bit evil, so it's better to leave quickly.
I pulled the rope and stepped on the wall of the well, climbing all the way up. Fifteen people followed below with dried corpses on their backs.
After crawling for a long time, my hands were bald, and finally I saw the faint light coming from above, and I breathed a long sigh of relief, and I climbed my hands, and finally came out of the darkness and saw the mouth of a well the size of a basin.
"Don't play tricks, I'm down there." Fifteen people said coldly: "If you want to run, you can try it and see if you can run out of this temple." ”
I sneered in my heart, you really think I'm a rat, it's really making you look down on me.
I struggled to climb to the mouth of the well, and as soon as I turned over, the sun was shining outside, and I took a deep breath, and finally came up, almost dying.
A gentle wind blew and caressed my face, and I was so uplifted that my mind was much clearer. Crossing his waist and scanning around, he felt a little wrong when he looked at it, why was this temple so broken, and many of the decorations looked plausible.
I remember when I didn't go down the well, this courtyard had a heavy sense of the times, but it was not broken, and every detail exuded a fairy spirit that was not stained with mortal dust. But now the courtyard is full of flowers and willows, a few trees are bare, the ground is covered with miscellaneous leaves, stone benches and corridors are full of dust. Broken bricks and tiles, a dilapidated phase.
It seems that hundreds of years have passed invisibly, has it been time travel? I looked around for Chu Qiang, but there was no trace of him, and I was about to call his name, when fifteen people climbed up from the bottom of the well with dried corpses on their backs.
At this time, the light was sufficient, so that I could see more clearly, fifteen people were dressed in white clothes and white pants, and his appearance was similar to that of Li Damin I knew, but the aura on his body was righteous and awe-inspiring, which made him very attractive and his eyes were trustworthy.
He placed the dried corpse of the little girl in red on the ground, bit the middle finger of his right hand, and dotted three red dots on the forehead, neck, and chest of the dried corpse, and then sighed and fell silent.
"Did you see anyone else when you came?" I asked.
The fifteen people did not speak, but reached out and began to untie the red clothes on the corpse. I watched from the sidelines and asked what you were going to do. Fifteen people ignored me and untied the woman's clothes, revealing her body inside.
"Are you a pervert?" I looked furious: "What about me, you are also interested in little girls." ”
Fifteen people let out a "snort" in their noses, thinking that I disdained to answer this question.
I watched curiously as he quickly probed the meridians of the female corpse with his hand, and the middle and index fingers of his right hand were very long, almost a large section beyond the other fingers, and they touched it quickly, up and down quickly.
He unbuttoned his clothes, stood up and asked me, "What's your name?" ”
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, Lin Cong." I puffed up my chest and said.
The fifteen people were silent for a moment, "Did you kill the people?" ”
I guessed what he was doing, he was examining the body, he had his own method, he relied on his fingers to touch it, I don't know what he was feeling.
"I didn't kill it," I said sincerely, "it's a long story...... But I can be assured that I am a good person and do not know the cause of death of the deceased. ”
"Why did you go to the bottom of the well and lie on top of the corpse?" Fifteen people asked, narrowing their eyes at me.
I laughed and laughed, "I was lying on the corpse, and you didn't kick it." I'll tell you, I was also inspecting the corpse at the time......"
"Who the hell are you, and if it's not the murderer, how do you know that the girl's body is hidden at the bottom of the well?" Fifteen people asked suspiciously.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Okay, I'm afraid to avoid further misunderstandings, let me tell you, I'm the detective found by the rich woman Fan Shuang." ”
Fifteen people raised their eyebrows: "Fan Shuang said that he only found me......"
"Brother, Fan Shuang's family is a big deal, so he naturally knows a truth," I said slowly: "Don't pick up all the vegetables in one basket, this is the trick to walk the rivers and lakes." ”
Fifteen people looked at me, didn't speak for a long time, and sighed: "Okay, I believe you, do you know why I believe you?" ”
I smiled, "Because you just examined the body and found that I didn't do it." ”
Fifteen people nodded: "You are very smart. I have examined the body, there are no external injuries, no internal injuries, no witchcraft, it looks very much like natural death, and natural weathering. However, there must be a problem here, and perhaps her killer is much more sophisticated than me. Judging from the process of dealing with us at the bottom of the well, you are definitely not the kind of master, with mediocre qualifications and mediocre means, and this bracelet is a bit interesting. ”
My face flushed, "You don't have to be so blunt. My suspicion is lifted, and the bracelet can always be returned to its original owner. ”
Fifteen people thought about it: "Not yet, I don't fully trust you, wait until the body is handed over to Fan Shuang." Oh, by the way, you know what my name is? ”
"Your name is Fifteen Min...... I immediately came to my senses after speaking, his name is Li Damin, and Fifteen Mins is the nickname we took in private.
Who knew that Fifteen Min's whole body was shocked, looking at me in disbelief, his throat moved, "Who told you, my name is Fifteen Min, didn't you call me Li Damin in the well?" ”
"Yes, yes, I was wrong."
He hung his head silently, slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick forearms, and I saw two words tattooed in the crook of his arm, which were regular official scripts.
These two words are, "fifteen."
I was stunned, "This, what's going on?" ”
Fifteen Min sighed softly: "According to my grandfather, when I was just born, I had these two words on my arm. He said that this was providence, and I had a history, and he couldn't figure out what it meant. He named me 'Li Damin', and based on the birthmark of 'fifteen', he gave me the nickname 'fifteen min'. ”
My throat throbbed up and down, unable to describe how I felt at this moment, and an inexplicable fear penetrated my whole body.
Fifteen people looked at the sky above the courtyard with blank eyes, "This nickname is only known to grandpa, and it is rarely called, and outsiders definitely don't know it." He withdrew his gaze and looked at me, "You just know." ”
"I'm talking nonsense." I hastened to plead.
"That's not right." He shook his head firmly: "You seem to know a lot of things, you know what my name is, you know my nickname, and you also know that the fire fold was left to me by my grandfather...... Including Fan Shuang and the little girl in red, you know too much, you know everything you should know, and you know what you shouldn't know. What the hell do you do? ”
"You, you're overthinking." I say. In fact, what I'm most afraid of is that he won't return the psychic bracelet. I made up my mind to leave as soon as I got the bracelet, and it felt terrible to hand over control to someone else.
Fifteen people looked at me and frowned slightly: "Brother, it's really not the husband's work to hide his head and show his tail. ”
I licked my lips, wanting to say but not saying.
Fifteen people squatted down, carried the dried corpse of the girl in red behind their backs, and strode towards the front hall, without looking back, and said, "I don't want to tie you up, but if you want to get your things back, you have to follow me back." Find Fan Shuang, and you will know as soon as you ask, when the time comes, the identity will be confirmed, and the bracelet will naturally be returned to you. ”
I had to follow him.
As we walked through the inner sanctum, the entire building was covered with dust, and the lacquer paintings on the pillars and girders were in tatters, as if they had been abandoned for hundreds of years. The hall was gloomy and gloomy, with deep black shadows everywhere, and the atmosphere was very different from when I came.
At this time, I saw three broken bowls in the corner of the wall, "Fifteen people, you put these three bowls?" ”
Fifteen people walked over, kicked the three bowls away, and wiped the marks on the ground with their feet, "This is called Chopsticks Xian'er, I couldn't find the corpse when I came, and I set up such a magic circle to find the corpse." If you don't remind me, I forgot, staying here will be trouble in the future, being seen by someone with a heart, God knows what will happen. ”
My mind was a bit of a mess and I couldn't figure out the timeline. The buildings here are unrecognizable, and Chu Qiang doesn't know where he went, that is to say...... I came to a conclusion that I am probably no longer in reality now, but in another world, which is probably Chu Qiang's world.
This inference is really absurd, absurd to the extreme, but it is the closest to logical speculation at present.
I staggered behind the fifteen people, came to the front hall, and was about to go out through the gate, when the fifteen people suddenly said: "Stop first, we have invited out the corpse, and we want to put incense on the Buddha to overdo it." ”
There is a strange Buddha enshrined on the shrine in the front hall, and I have already seen it when I came. I'm a little confused, if I'm in the world now, why is this Buddha still there, and there is no change in the shape.
The strange Buddha is still a bald figure, a little rickety, and his feet are not on the ground, but one after the other, and he seems to be walking forward.
The fifteen people carefully placed the female corpse on the sacred table, opened the purse they carried, and took out three long incense sticks and a candle from it. Light the fire fold, light the incense sticks and candles, and insert them into the incense burner one by one.
He knelt on the ground, folded his hands in silent prayer, and then kowtowed three times before he stood up.
"What kind of Buddha is this?" I asked curiously.
