Chapter 196: Someone Outside

I observed again, there are a total of three stone statues in the temple, and if you look at the size and texture, each should weigh hundreds of kilograms.

It stands to reason that no one will touch them, and besides, no one can move them, it's too heavy.

However, this thing is flat-bottomed, and if it is a practitioner, it is still easy to push hundreds of catties or thousands of catties of things.

However, although there are three statues of the statute of limitations, only the largest one in front of me has been moved.

On the platform, you can clearly see that there is a circle around the base of the stone statue, and there are faint traces of dust.

This is probably the result of the stone statue being moved back after it was moved, and he covered it with dust, so this small piece is very new.

No one should be idle and play with stone statues, right? I think there's a problem, a big problem.

So he jumped up at once, trying to push the statue away.

But no matter how hard I tried, the statue didn't move.

This is strange, even if I can't push it for a while, I won't be like this, as if I have glued him firmly.

I tried again, and finally gave up completely.

Of course, I just gave up pushing the statue away in this way.

Since time has been shifted, it proves that the method is feasible, but I just used the wrong method, perhaps...... It's not actually moved, it's machine-driven, right?

Driven by this thought, I began to rummage under the incense case and the stone statue, and finally with my unremitting efforts, I didn't know where I had hit, and there was a rumbling sound of the mechanism, and the stone statue slowly moved to the left.

And in the end, I was presented with a small door more than half a person high, and it was pitch black inside, and I didn't know what it was.

I looked intently and found that my hand was on a lifting switch under the incense table, which was supposed to control the table, it was the old-fashioned mechanical switch that adjusted the height of the table.

However, normal people can't see it at all, because the surface of the incense case is covered with a layer of flannel, and it is also modeled and draped on the ground.

I glanced outside, and my heart was beating harder.

I don't know, should I go in and see what is going on inside? Or call Wang Zhengqing now and ask him to accompany me in.

Undoubtedly, the latter method is relatively safe, but it will take more than an hour to wait.

I can afford to wait, but I can't hold it anymore.

I didn't care about any danger inside, so I jumped on the high platform and dived into the small door with my head down.

It was dark inside, so I turned on my phone's flash to illuminate it a little.

What I didn't expect was that the renovation here was very neat, and it could even be described as exquisite.

The entrance is a small staircase going down, swirling, but it is not hollowed, and there are relatively thick walls on both sides, and I knocked on it, but it is not hollow.

After going down for a long time, his basement is relatively deep, but it's normal to think about it, if you don't do it deeper, it's easy to be discovered.

The scene inside the basement completely shocked me.

The lights in the room are on, and they can even be described as bright, with at least a dozen energy-saving lamps in front of and behind them.

Is there anyone in here who can't do it? If so, wouldn't the movement of me coming in startle the snake?

But then I found out that I was too worried, this kind of light is not the kind of on/off type, but emergency type, and it will stay on after the power is off, as long as the power is enough.

The last time we left, the power switch here was pulled off, and it was only a few days, so the power supply in the basement should be connected to another wire.

Actually, I think it's our people who didn't check it properly, and if you check their power supply lines, you can easily find that there are traces of current usage.

Then we can also know about the existence of this basement earlier.

But after all, these lights weren't what shocked me.

What shocked me was that this basement, which was only about twenty or thirty square meters, was full of all the things I found with Wang Zhengqing that night, including the bottles and jars that were originally stacked outside the City God Temple.

These are all Gu worms refined by Immortal Gu, and there are some other things.

Colorful and strangely shaped gems, and some runes that had been drawn, and then there were the stone statues I had seen in the room in that neighborhood, and a few miscellaneous little things that were of little value to me.

And this stone statue is in a state of being enshrined, but there is nothing on the incense table, there is no tribute, only an incense burner, and a stick of incense is inserted on the stove, but it is not lit.

I looked ahead, and there was no trace of ash in the incense burner.

This is very strange, these are all bodhisattvas with hateful faces, it stands to reason that they set up incense cases like this in different places, and their purpose is to make offerings.

I didn't think about it, but instead focused on the miscellaneous gadgets.

I don't know what was transferred here that night, but now I can just go through them all and see what is valuable.

Bringing things to this point, the truth is slowly becoming clear.

This can't be blamed on Lao Ding, he is not skilled, it is impossible to keep an eye on everyone, if the inner ghost transfers these things to the basement inside, Lao Ding may indeed not notice.

It's just that in this way, it is equivalent to narrowing the scope of the inner ghost.

The special service team that came with Lao Ding sometimes came to clean up the crime scene investigation department.

Insiders can only appear in these two departments, otherwise no one else will have access to the scene.

I don't have time to think about how to investigate him right now, and all my thoughts are on these little things.

But it's all some feng shui pendants and the like, and some leftovers used on the altar, some of which are very ordinary, and some of which are not very common, so it's normal to see these things here.

Soon, however, this normalcy was broken.

I found something exactly like the snuffbox I had on me, and there was more than one.

The most surprised thing was to let me take out the snuffbox on my body to take a look, but I don't know if the aura here has changed, when I took out the snuffbox, he seemed to sense my call, and the body of the snuffbox began to heat faintly.

It was a sign that he wanted to break free, and I couldn't let him succeed, so I quickly put it in my pocket again.

In this way, the movement slowly disappeared, but the basket of snuffboxes in front of me made me a little distracted.

Isn't it all here... It's all that kind of black smoke, right?

I was intimidated by my own thoughts, so I succinctly picked one up and put it in my hand.

How is it a little light? I shook it a few more times, and compared to the one in my pocket, the feel was completely different, and there was no feeling of heaviness or even pressure on my hand.

It's as if one has something inside and one doesn't.

Are these snuffboxes empty? Then I picked up a few more, and was almost about to go through all the snuffboxes in this basket, each one very light.

Then I didn't believe in evil, so I opened them one by one, and it turned out to be just as I expected, there was nothing in it.

This should be a collectible snuff bottle, right? And looking at the workmanship, it is much more delicate than the one in my hand.

It's just that I don't believe that Tianquan collects this kind of thing for collection, and there is no profit to be made, what is the purpose?

The only thing that can be brought out of this is a larger conspiracy, but now everything is not yet visible, everything is not clear, and I don't even have an argument to speculate.

After taking pictures of these things one by one, I came back to the bottles and cans.

It stands to reason that these things are all immortal Gu, and they should have someone to guard them, but with the fall of the stronghold of the City God Temple, these things have also been transferred to the basement, I think there are two possibilities.

One is that someone will come to take these things later, and the other is that among the small shrimps we captured, there are people with immortal Gu.

It's just that I found that mysterious totem on their bodies, and the people of the Immortal Gu shouldn't tattoo such a thing on their bodies, right?

Actually, this totem is very interesting, although I haven't figured it out yet, what does it represent? But there is this totem tattoo on the arm of the melon skin hat, but Wang Shoucai and Pan Laoqi, Guo Long and Huang Zhan do not have this totem on their bodies, but these little shrimps have this totem on their bodies.

This is very interesting, generally speaking, you have to figure out what the meaning of this totem is, so that you can tell what it means when it is tattooed on different people's bodies.

But Tianquan's seems to be groundless, and it is completely foolish.

Seeing that there is no value here, I can't move the bottles and cans, these snuff bottles are even more impossible to move, and those leftovers and some miscellaneous things, even if I take them away, it has no effect, and these things are not necessary for the identification department to identify, they are all laymen, and they can't understand it.

So after going through it again and finding nothing of value, I was ready to leave.

Today's discovery of this basement is already a very good clue, and my purpose is not to find these things, but to figure out how they transferred them under the nose of Lao Ding.

And now that I have solid evidence, I think it's time for a showdown with Lao Ding.

Although I had doubted Lao Ding before, judging from the current situation, I can only choose to believe him in order to find out the ghosts in the game.

Thinking of this, my heart instantly understood a lot.

But before I could get up the stairs, I heard a bang, and the basement door was slammed shut.

My heart is half cold, what's the matter, there are people outside?
