The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of the Dark Witch Secrets!
At night, the three of us lay in the living room, turned off the lights and chatted, Brother Liu didn't know if he was scared, he was very excited, and chatted with me for a while. I didn't think of anything to say, and then I was a little incoherent.
I don't pay much attention to what is going on here, and it doesn't have anything to do with me, just to get paid for it. I was thinking about whether they could give me money after I did this work tonight, and I opened my mouth to ask for money, and I was a little embarrassed.
The two of them chatted until the second half of the night, and they both couldn't move a little, and they all fell asleep, and the snoring started one after another. I didn't feel sleepy for a while, flipped through my phone, the strange thing is that after Xiaoyu sent that message, there was no new message to send, I was nervous in my heart, and there was no way but to wait for tomorrow morning.
Later, I slowly fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and when I turned over and sat up, Lao Liu and Lao Mu had already woken up and were talking at the dinner table.
I was a little embarrassed, I got up unkempt and washed my face, and I was a little sober. Brother Liu brought the breakfast he bought, and I ate it hot, saying thank you while eating.
Brother Liu said: "Little brother, you don't have to be so polite, it should be me to say thank you." When I send your sister-in-law away, I thank you so much. ”
Lao Mu crossed Erlang's legs and said, "What about me?" ”
Brother Liu laughed: "You old wood, you are indispensable everywhere." ”
After eating, I said goodbye to Lao Mu. Let's go back to the temple first, Lao Mu has been thinking about what the ghost said last night, there is a problem with the incense burner on the left. We started to check from the first courtyard, and the incense burner here was very large, tall enough for one person, and there was nothing unusual in the outside of the incense burner.
I suggest that I call the other pilgrims in the temple to help?
Lao Mu hurriedly waved his hand: "Let's just check, we really want to find out something, once the rumors are spread, no one will come to our temple to worship incense in the future, the reputation of the temple is ruined, and the loss is too great." ”
I had to check with him, and when someone asked, Lao Mu said that he was overhauling to prevent potential safety hazards. None of the others were suspicious.
Later, I came to the middle hall, in front of the two incense burners in front of the shrine of the Bodhisattva. Fortunately, I only checked the stove on the left, and if I checked them one by one, I guess I wouldn't be able to finish them in one day.
Just as I was about to check it, I said worriedly, "Xiaoyu has been out all night, why hasn't there been any movement." "Lao Mu checked first, I called Xiaoyu, there were many rings, but no one answered.
I sent another message to consult, but there was still no movement, I had a faint sense of foreboding, could it be that something happened to him?
Lao Mu checked the incense burner, found nothing unusual, and took me to the backyard. He said, "Brother, you listened carefully last night, didn't you, talking about the incense burner on the left?"
"Not bad at all." I said, "Don't question this, I will be a ghost, Sister Liu told me clearly." ”
Lao Mu said: "She said it was our Faben Temple? ”
I was stunned for a moment: "Yo, she only said 'temple', but she didn't specifically say that it was here." ”
Lao Mu pulled a chair and sat down, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Maybe it's not us here." ”
I shook my head: "It's better to check and check, Sister Liu was a pilgrim in this temple when she was alive, and she came all day long, she couldn't point her fingers, it should be here." ”
As he was talking, two pilgrims came in from outside, looking like a couple, a man and a woman were quite pious, and each of them invited three sticks of incense in their hands.
The girl first put the incense on, and then knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, silently chanting something, praying for blessings. The young man also came over and inserted the three sticks of incense in his hand into the incense burner, who knew that something strange happened, his incense was not inserted, and he poured one crookedly.
This was not a big deal, but in the eyes of the little couple, this sudden incident was like five thunderbolts, which was a bad omen. The girl was a little scared and cried on the spot.
Lao Mu couldn't look at it and said, "It's nothing, don't make a fuss, just plug it back in." He came over and picked up the fallen incense, and inserted it into it, and his expression was immediately a little weird, and he looked at me.
I was particularly puzzled, at this time, it was difficult to say anything in front of outsiders, so I asked with my eyes.
Lao Mu changed the incense back and forth in the stove, and finally found a soft piece to insert into it, and said to the little couple, it's okay, don't take it to heart, you worship you.
The little couple withdrew after the incense, and as soon as they left the middle hall, there was no one else here, and Lao Mu hurriedly said: "Close the door of the hall!" ”
I saw that quite a few pilgrims were coming, so I hurried over and closed the door. Lao Mu commanded again and closed the curtain. The door was made of wood and covered with glass, so that it could be seen from the outside, and I hurriedly closed the curtain to block the view of outsiders.
"What's wrong?" I whispered.
Lao Mu said in a low voice, "There is a problem in the stove. He plucked out all the sticks of incense he had just inserted, threw them into the brazier, and then asked me to pull out a broken basin from under the throne.
Lao Mu put on work gloves, rolled up his sleeves, put his hand into the incense burner, took out a large handful of incense ashes, and put it in the basin. The incense ash is very light, and when you move it slightly, smoke comes out.
I blocked my nose, but Lao Mu was very serious, still scooping the incense ash inside with his hands, holding a handful, and putting the incense ash in the basin. I saw what he meant, he wanted to see what was buried in the ashes.
It didn't take long for the pot to fill with incense ashes. Lao Mu looked serious and beckoned to me: "Qiangzi, come and see." ”
I came to his side and looked inside, and I was stunned, revealing a yellow arc in the ash of the incense burner. I reached in and felt it hard to the touch, what is this? Suddenly, a flash lit up in my mind, and I realized what it was, and blurted out, "Skull?" ”
"Yes," said Lao Mu calmly, "it's a human skull." ”
I worked with him to clean up the incense ashes around me, and then I used the tools of a small shovel to dig slowly, and in more than 20 minutes, the things under the incense burner were really exposed. It was a human skull, a skull, deep holes, no jaws, and some teeth on it, and it looked horrible.
I was furious: "Brother Mu, this, this, how can there be a skull in your incense burner?" ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and a layman shouted, "What's wrong inside?" ”
Lao Mu didn't pay attention to this stubble, urged me, and brought the skull out together. This thing looks a little evil, he dragged out a vacant wooden box from under the god seat, I look at it this way, isn't this an urn, it is engraved with cranes and green pines or something. I said, "You have everything in this place."
Lao Mu opened the lid, asked me to put the skull in, and said: "This is an old man left here, the urn is equivalent to the previous longevity, placed under the Buddha's shrine can receive some incense and fairy energy." It's been here for half a year, but I didn't expect to use it now. ”
Not to mention that this skull is put in an urn, but it is the right size and covered with a lid. Lao Mu covered the outside with a red cloth, and then hugged him inside, telling me to pour back the incense ashes from the broken basin and open the door to welcome guests.
I hurriedly poured the ashes back and covered my head, and then opened the door of the temple, and a crowd of people came in. Someone looked at me a few times, but I didn't suspect much, and I slipped away, all dirty, all the way back to their accommodation in the backyard.
Lao Mu was talking to a girl in the courtyard with the urn in his arms, it was Anan. I hurriedly asked Anan, do you see the little fish?
Anan was a little confused and asked what a small fish was. I said the one who came with me yesterday, quite thin, with a scar on his face.
"Strange, how can I see that? I didn't even know him. Anan said.
I said, "You ...... last night" As soon as I got up, I immediately shut my mouth, and I must not say anything about Xiaoyu stalking her. Looking at Anan like this, she may not know where Xiaoyu went.
Anan looked at me: "What happened to me last night?" ”
I hurriedly said, "Didn't you leave first last night, and then my brother also withdrew, I thought you two could meet." ”
"Nope." Anan pointed to the things in Lao Mu's arms and said, "What are you holding?" ”
"It's none of your business, what should you do now?" Old wood waved his hand.
Anan yawned and left, I looked at her back in a daze, Lao Mu patted me: "Brother, get busy with business first, and when Sister Liu's business is finished, I'll help you make an appointment with my sister." ”
I sneered and followed him into the house. He locked the door, closed the curtains, and placed the urn on the floor, and I sat with him on the small bench.
Old Mu lifted off the red cloth and opened the box, revealing the skull inside.
"It's strange, why would anyone put a skull in the incense ash?" I said confusedly.
Lao Mu's face was not good-looking, and his fingers were ringing. I suddenly remembered something: "Damn, it won't be a murder, I killed the skull and hid it in the incense ash burner......"
