After the incense, Li Mubai and I entered the Jade Toad Pavilion, which enshrined the statue of the ancestor of the White Jade Toad, and the common melon and fruit tributes, incense and talismans were placed on the desk, and on both sides were neatly arranged the Taoists of the Jade Toad Palace who had major repairs in the past dynasties, including Zhang Zhishun and Zhang Daochang, who died two years ago.

The little one poked his head out and lay on my shoulder.

"Spirits, talismans!" The little guy excitedly slapped me on the shoulder with its little paws.

I took advantage of the situation to see a delicate small wooden box in front of the statue of the white jade toad of the five ancestors, and there was an ancient lock on the wooden box, and I could vaguely see the complex talisman engraved on the wooden box.

"Vice President Li, that should be what the little guy has a crush on." Li Mubai looked in the direction of my finger.

"This thing is enshrined here, there must be a place for it to be worshipped, let's take a look around first, and wait for the Jade Toad Palace to close at night."

"Closed? You want? I looked at Li Mubai with some surprise.

"No, I mean that when the Jade Toad Palace closes in the evening, I will take you to visit Daoist Jiang Qi."

"Oh!" I looked at Li Mubai thoughtfully.

As the holy place of Nanzong, in addition to the hundreds of Taoist statues enshrined in the palace, their martial arts troupe is also very famous, although it is not as good as Wudang Shaolin, but it is also one of the best in Nanzong.

Zhu Shuixian, the head of martial arts in the Jade Toad Palace, has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and is the ninth generation of the Southern Boxing and Southern Sticks.

As the vice president of the Taoist Association, Li Mubai naturally knew that it would not be easy to take things away from the Jade Toad Palace.

Li Mubai looked down at the time, "It's still early, let's walk around first, and I'll take you to see Daoist Jiang Qi later." ”

After the Jade Toad Pavilion is the Ziyang Xinglin Palace, the Xinglin Hall is dedicated to the first ancestor of the Southern Sect Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan, Zhang Boduan is a native of the Northern Song Dynasty, also known as Ziyang, so there is a Ziyang Zhenren said. The book "Enlightenment of the Truth" written by him is known as the opening introduction of Nanzong, and it is the true source of the wisdom of Nanzong.

Then come over is Wenbi Peak, on the north side of Wenbi Peak is the Seven Star Pavilion, from the foot of the mountain to the peak, build the Big Dipper Seven Star Pavilion according to the mountain potential. From bottom to top, they are named Yaoguang, Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianji, Tianxuan, and Tianshu.

On the top of Wenbi Peak is Sanqing Altar, and Sanqing Altar is the highest building in Wenbi Peak. The Jade Toad Palace does not have a Sanqing temple representing the highest belief of Taoism, but an altar is built on the highest peak to worship the Sanqing Zun God to express the image of heaven and earth being one.

Walking up from the South Road, you can climb the Sanqing Altar through the Jade Toad Pavilion, symbolizing that the belief can be realized by practicing according to the moral life of the Southern Sect, and you can also climb the Sanqing Altar from the North Road of the Seven Star Pavilion to express the traditional Taoist teachings of stepping on Tiangang and Chaoyujing.

Below is the Medicine King Palace, which enshrines the medicine ancestor Shennong, the medicine king Sun Simiao, and the medicine fairy Li Shizhen.

In addition to some of the above shrines, the Jade Toad Palace also has the Tianhou Palace, the Bixia Palace, the Sandong Academy, the God of Wealth Palace, the Wenchang Pavilion, the Yuelao Palace, the Yuanchen Palace, the Shadow Wall, the Transfer Hall and the Guanyin Palace.

Among them, the Sandong Academy is not only the Tibetan Academy of the Jade Toad Palace, but also an important place for the Jade Toad Palace to hold academic forums and carry out traditional cultural education.

These statues are very attractive to me, and Li Mubai, unlike me, has long been accustomed to it.

At about six o'clock in the evening, the Jade Toad Palace suddenly began to clear people, originally the Jade Toad Palace normally opened at nine o'clock in the morning and closed at ten o'clock in the evening, but today is obviously a little abnormal.

When I walked out of the gate of the Jade Toad Palace, I saw two police cars parked at the gate, and as more tourists were invited out of the Jade Toad Palace, people began to gradually gather at the gate.

"Did you hear that? This afternoon, a little Taoist priest in the Jade Toad Palace suddenly died. ”

"I heard it, it seems to be around three o'clock in the afternoon, over there in the Seven Star Pavilion."

"The seven orifices bleed, and when the incense was applied, he suddenly died."

The tourists gathered at the door began to talk in a few words. I remember that at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mubai and I were near the Jade Toad Pavilion, and we saw several Taoist priests running past us in a hurry, and now I think that they should be in the direction of the Seven Star Pavilion.

"Is it the police from the tourists?"

"It seems that I originally heard that the Jade Toad Palace was going to block the news, but the tourists found it and called the police."

Suddenly, one of the tourists exclaimed: "This Jade Toad Palace is an important place in the Southern Sect, and now there is a murder in it, let's leave quickly, be careful of getting into unnecessary trouble." ”

After that, the tourists left one after another, and only some tourists who did not know the truth were still here to continue watching.

"Did you inquire about anything?" I whispered into Li Mubai's ear and asked.

"No, these Taoist priests kept their mouths shut, I guess they might be afraid that this matter would have a bad impact on the Jade Toad Palace."

I looked around, and then said to Li Mubai: "I heard a few tourists who knew about it just now, but they were afraid that the murder would involve them, so they left first." ”

"Do you remember what they looked like?"

I took my phone and shook it in front of Li Mubai's eyes.

"It's worthy of the serious crime team, a veteran of criminal investigation!" Li Mubai glanced at me appreciatively.

"If Du Group is here, he should have found out the process of the crime."

"Is Du Feng as powerful as you say?"

"Of course," I nodded without hesitation.

When I encounter a murder case, I still unconsciously think of Du Group, he is trapped in the Shenxiao faction alone, and I don't know how Ren Yaoyao's case is handled.

"How can I say that I am also one of the top three detectives in the world, and I won't be worse than your Du group, right?" As he spoke, Li Mubai put his arm around my shoulder.

"It's hard to say."

"Hungry," Qu Yan suddenly poked his head out of the backpack behind me.

Li Mubai looked at it with disgust, "You know how to eat." ”

The little guy stared wide-eyed and looked unconvinced.

"Bad, people!"

These words made Li Mubai angry, and he saw him raise his arm to make a move.

"Okay, you two don't have to make a fuss, it's not too early, let's go get some food first, and then arrange the accommodation for tonight."

Li Mubai nodded, Hainan is located in the tropics, is the second largest island in China except Taiwan, and Hainan's architectural design has distinctive characteristics. Walking on the streets of Hainan, it can be clearly found that many public buildings, tourist buildings and cultural buildings in Hainan do not seek to be big, not foreign, and not ancient, but from the natural environment of the building, highlight and create their own personality characteristics, and fully reflect the tropical style and coastal characteristics of Hainan.

The hot climate, coupled with the fact that Li Mubai wore a coat when he went out, is now a little unbearable in the heat.

Hainan is a tourist destination, there are many hotels here, Li Mubai is a particular person, ordinary luxury five-star hotels can not enter his eyes. Helplessly, there was a murder in the Jade Toad Palace, so he had to wronged Li Mubai to reluctantly stay for one night at the nearby Haitian Hotel.

The splendid lobby and elegant interior design are already a great choice for people like me who have no taste.

The little guy poked his head out, it didn't care about that, it was the best choice to have good food. The restaurant in the hotel usually does not have any special food, and there are many guests in Haitian, because it is the peak tourist season, people who come to Yuchan Palace to play will basically stay here.

As soon as Li Mubai entered the hall, he looked around, the bad habit of feng shui masters, he wanted to see the good and evil everywhere. The room we lived in was on the sixth floor, and the dining bar was in the inner hall on the second floor, and when I went upstairs, I glanced at the café on the left, and there were two people sitting in it, I had seen them at the entrance of the Jade Toad Palace before, and I still had their photos on my phone.

The cause of the little Taoist's death was strange, and the Jade Toad Palace was careless in blocking the news for a while, which led to the police intervention, and according to the normal logic of the investigation, the police would soon find these witnesses.
