Chapter 2 Entering the Mystery

Tian Rong continued: "It turned out to be a small abandoned Taoist temple, I turned around, there was no place to hide, only saw a window, kicked through a big hole, and looked down at a sewage pool, I must have escaped from there. ”

Shun Yu was silent for a while, stood up and put on his cloak, let Tian Rong lead the way, and went to inspect it again.

Qin Xing hurriedly took two lanterns, one for Tian Rong and one for himself, bolted the door of the Shengchang Pavilion, and the three of them walked towards the small Taoist temple.

Out of Miss Wang's Hutong, I happened to meet a team of soldiers patrolling the night, the leader was named Chen Li, and when he was handling the Youtong case, he had a few encounters with Shun Yu, greeted each other politely, and asked where he was going in a hurry.

Shun Yu told her about the previous incident in a few words, Chen Li was surprised, and shouted to go with her, but it was in her arms, so she smiled and thanked her.

Turning two streets, the more you walk, the more desolate it becomes, and the light smoke rises everywhere, reflecting the road ahead.

After a few more steps, there is really a dilapidated Taoist temple in front of it, and there is a Qingding burning incense in the center of the door, Shun Yu was taken aback and asked Tian Rong: "Didn't you say that it was abandoned, why did Qingding have traces of sprinkling and sweeping?" “

Tian Rong was also full of surprise, only to say that when he came, Qingding had been overturned and fell to the ground, half buried in the snow.

Chen Li said with a smile, this is dark and snowy, and it is very likely to be wrong.

Shun Yu pursed her lips, things were more complicated than she could have imagined.

Everyone quickly walked to the door where most of the vermilion paint was peeling, and pushed a few times with their hands, but it was tightly closed, and they looked in along the crack of the door a finger wide, and it was gloomy, dead and silent, and there were no stars and candles, and there was no sound of wooden fish.

Some soldiers stepped forward and banged on the door vigorously, shouting loudly, but there was still no response at all.

Tian Rong was so anxious that he raised his foot and wanted to kick it, but the door suddenly opened, and a person carried an oil lamp in his hand, and behind the weak orange fire was Zhang Cangsang's face, looking at them coldly.

Shun Yu was also looking at the man, wearing a sea blue robe, with no crown on his head and only a mixed yuan scarf, and his feet were on hemp shoes, and Tian Rong muttered in a low voice, where did this come from?

Chen Li clasped his hands together and asked the man, have you seen two singing ladies coming, or a man coming?

The man shook his head, his throat as if it had been frozen: "The official jokes, the Daomen is a quiet place, and it is not a time to worship incense and pray for blessings, how can you allow female guests to stay overnight." “

Chen Li glanced at Shun Yu's expression, and shouted: "Don't quibble, those two singing ladies went in, but someone saw it with their own eyes, and we have already come, so naturally we have to search it." “

After finishing speaking, a group of soldiers stepped forward, and the Taoist priest remained silent again, silently retreating to the side, slightly lowering his head and not seeing his expression clearly.

Shun Yu retracted his gaze and looked around, the courtyard of the courtyard, except for the main hall, and the east and west two side rooms, there was nothing, the soldier drank the man to light a row of lanterns on the eaves of the corridor, and lit the candles in the room,

Shun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how desolate and gloomy the place, as long as there is a bright light, it can make people nervous and get temporary stability.

She followed Tian Rong to the front of the threshold of the main hall, all of them are dark carved lattices on the top and bottom, hang long banners in the four corners of the canopy in the hall, enshrine the holy statue of the three Qing Dynasty, set up a vermilion carved lacquer incense table in front, there are three or four plates of simple offerings on the incense table, and the copper furnace offers long incense, and half of the embers have been burned.

Tian Rong looked incredulous, he walked towards the window sash, although it was dilapidated but intact, looking for his own memory to push open a door, and what came into his eyes was half of the mottled powder wall, where did the sewage pool come from.

It is really a small Taoist temple, and after a while, the room was empty, and nothing was found, Chen Li quietly asked Shun Yu if he had to search again.

Shun Yu shook his head and smiled, Chen Li sighed, and ordered the people to wait for no longer search, so they didn't stay long.

Hearing the sound of "slamming" the door behind him, someone sneered: "This Taoist priest is really weird, and he doesn't see any living popularity." “

Shun Yu shook Chen Li and said apologetically: "It must be that my servant is dizzy, and he has no memory to run to the wrong hall, but he has caused trouble to the official, and he really can't go." Qin Xing took out a few hundred coins from his sleeve cage and handed it over, it was dark and cold, so you could drink and eat to drive away the cold.

Chen Li took it and said with a smile: "There are always times when people can't remember, but don't blame him, when you remember, let me know, and I'll take someone to search for it." “

and said goodbye in two short words, and each went away in two ways.

Besides, the more Tian Rong thought about it, the more depressed he became, and seeing Shun Yu hurrying away with an expressionless face, he couldn't help but say: "What I said before is true, and none of it is a joke, and I don't know how this happened, it's really a hell." “

Qin Xing's jaw head echoed: "People who are good at martial arts have always been deaf and clear-sighted, not to mention that no matter how bad Uncle Tian is, he will not remember such a big deviation." “

Shun Yu seemed to come back to his senses, and said lightly: "What Uncle Tian saw must be correct." “

"How can you go again?" Tian Rong couldn't figure it out.

Shun Yu pursed her lips and looked at him: "Is it possible that Uncle Tian has forgotten?" One year, my father disguised me as a child and took me to the White Horse Temple to watch the temple fair, where in addition to preaching the scriptures, the monks would also think of various ways to attract good men and women. Some people with special abilities will perform the killing of horses and donkeys, planting dates and melons, or even flying into the air. There is also the April 8th Buddha Bathing Festival, the parade shows the lion opening the way, the Buddha light descends from the sky, and the goddess scatters flowers and wonders. ”

Tian Rong was suddenly enlightened: "Could it be that this is an illusion." ”

Shun Yu continued: "In the Tang Dynasty, illusion was at its peak, and it was recorded in the book that Gao Shi and the envoys of the Western Regions showed miracles, and illusions were as true as deceptive; After the gradual decline, the temple and Taoist temple still remained, and the artists who showed off in the market only knew the fur, pretending to be gods and ghosts to cheat money. “

"Today's is amazing, what Uncle Tian sees and what I see, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, I don't know if Zhou's dream is Hu Die, or Hu Die's dream is Zhou He? If what Uncle Tian saw before is true, and what we have just seen is an illusion, it is really easy to know that killing people in illusion is really easy, and only then our lives have been held in the palms of others, and there is no power to break free. “

Qin Xing's face changed greatly: "That is, send a singing lady to ask for the life of the master, so why did you let us go?" “

Shun Yu frowned, she thought all the way, but she was also puzzled, and only explained after a while: "Illusions are mostly practiced in the dark, and after we go, hang up a lot of lights, or dissipate most of the demigods." “

I felt that I couldn't convince myself, so I had to sigh: "Maybe I don't want to hurt the people of the government, maybe maybe the master who uses illusions, suddenly has compassion." “

Instead, he instructed Qin Xing: "You and Uncle Tian go and hire some nursing homes who know how to do kung fu, and put a few people in the Shengchang Pavilion and the house in case of emergency." “

Qin Xing hurriedly agreed, and after experiencing this thrill, he coincided with Shun Yu's thoughts.

When I returned to the house in Chunshu Hutong, I saw Mason standing alone under the porch wearing a cloak, and when he saw them returning with frost and snow, he coughed and laughed: "Why did you come back now?" An hour later than usual, but it's worrying. “

Shun Yu went to shake his hand, but it was as cold as ice, and then looked at his face, he was sick.

Hurriedly dragged him to the room, secretly thinking in his heart, he didn't know what was going on today, but he came to Mason, if his body was fine, it would be safe to go with him, and look at him like this, how to settle it most securely.
