Chapter 081: Escape Route
As I listened, my heart moved, and he was talking about the people who practiced inside, not the monks inside.
Huang Shanjun glanced at the table and saw that the secretary had a cigarette case in his hand, so he took out his own cigarette, handed him one and lit it enthusiastically, and asked him, "Why did you hang yourself?" ”
The secretary took a puff of his cigarette, his face softened a lot, and looked at us: "What are you here for?" ”
Huang Shanjun said nonsense: "We are Taoist priests of Jinghe Temple, it's not yesterday that a woman came to us and said that her son died in the high temple for no reason, let us come and have a look." ”
"Hanged in again?" The secretary frowned.
Looks like there's a story in this.
I hurriedly asked, "Could it be that in addition to the monk just now, there are still people hanging themselves inside?" ”
The secretary replied: "Yes, it has been three consecutive years, and every year there will be people from the village who go inside to hang themselves, but the village chief does not let people talk about it." “
Speaking of this, he pouted, "I'm not from this village, and I don't have the right to speak in this matter, every time someone hangs themselves, they quietly carry people back and bury them." ”
It seems that if you want to know about this, you still have to ask the village chief.
We waited in the village brigade for more than an hour before the village chief returned, and as soon as he heard the purpose of our visit, he went straight out to pick up the three of us.
I said coldly, "Don't you dare to talk about it, do you want to see everyone in the village die?" ”
The village chief was stunned, sighed for a while, and said, "Come in." ”
I glanced at Bai Shiyang, but I didn't expect him to compromise with this sentence.
"The people who practice in the high temple are not monks, but a few old people in our village, and most of the people in our village are surnamed Jiang, but they are actually surnamed Jiang." The village chief looked at us, "You can find here, you should already know about the Jiang family, and I just came back from Dikeng Village." ”
"Are you the Jiang family?" I exclaimed.
He nodded, "But although we are members of the Jiang family, we no longer know how to look at those strange spells, and the old men who practiced in the high temple back then were the last people in the Jiang family to know those spells." ”
I wrinkled my eyebrows, "Then why did they kill themselves?" ”
The village chief sighed and said: "It is because of the Taoist priest Niu Chongtian of Jinghe Temple, he entered the high temple and talked with the people inside all night, and the next day the old people called me over, saying that their life expectancy has arrived, and that the Jiang family owes debts, and every year there are people in the village to go to the high temple to atone for their sins, and later I learned that the atonement they are talking about is that every year there are people in the village to hang themselves." ”
Speaking of this, he looked at us: "I don't know why this happened, and I don't know the purpose of Niu Chongtian, but I know that he came from Jinghe Temple, and this matter is inseparable from you, so I carefully concealed this matter, for fear of offending you and causing other things." ”
Could it be that the Taoist priest who practiced in the high temple was forced to death by Uncle Niu?
I can't figure it out.
In addition to these, the village chief didn't know anything else, so we went to the high temple to check inside and out, and found nothing else, so we had no choice but to leave and go back to tell Bai Shounian about the matter.
He muttered: "If this is the case, there are two possibilities, the first is Niu Chongtian's Jiang family, the reason why those people hanged themselves, and every year someone hangs themselves, is that they and Niu Chongtian are planning something; The second is that Niu Chongtian is not the Jiang family, he took away the Jiang family's secret art and planned these things. ”
Now there is no useful evidence at all, and Uncle Niu is nowhere to be found, which is really difficult to deal with.
Bai Shounian said to Huang Shanjun: "You find someone to watch that village, and when someone hangs herself, tell me immediately." ”
Huang Shanjun nodded, turned around and left.
"You two go get busy, I'll let you know when you have an eyebrow." Bai Shounian said.
Coming out of Bai Shounian's office, I was directly taken by Bai Shiyang to the training place, where there was already a teaching master waiting.
When I entered, I realized that I was the only one in the huge room, and I wondered, "Isn't there anyone else here?" ”
Bai Shiyang explained: "Yes, but the sixth master asked the master here to hand over all the skills to you within three months, so they have given up on others to teach you specifically." ”
I swallowed and saliva, and finally understood why the woman said that the sixth master gave me the green light.
After saying this, Bai Shiyang said hello to Jiao Xi and left.
After studying with him for five days, I learned that the knowledge in the rune paper is so big, not to mention the drawing method of different runes, even the use of the drawing is very different, burned into ashes, swallowed in the mouth and then spit out, and patted directly on the ghost......
And to exorcise evil spirits, it is necessary to calculate the direction of the sticker paper according to the birth date of the person who caused the accident, and so on.
He taught me for five days, and he was actually very satisfied: "It is said that Yuan Guofu's daughter is stupid, but now it seems that she is just ordinary, not as outstanding as him, and it doesn't take much effort to teach." ”
I thought to myself, how low was he asking of me before?
After learning to draw talismans for five days, another person taught me to recite talismans, only another person told me to read faces and use a compass.
After a month of bombardment, I feel that I have developed from a second-rate physiognomist to a more comprehensive Taoist priest.
At this time, Uncle Niu also had news, and Bai Shounian called me to the office.
I thought that the people who went to find Niu Chongtian this time were Bai Shiyang and Huang Shanjun, who knew that when I entered the door, I found that there were four people standing inside who had never seen before, a man and three women, and the woman who fought with me that day was among them.
Bai Shounian said in a deep voice: "The whereabouts of Niu Chongtian have been found, the sixth master specially designated the four of you to find him, it is better to bring him back, if he doesn't follow, then directly disperse." ”
The four men said in unison, "Yes." ”
Bai Shounian waved them out, but left me behind.
He said: "You have performed very well during this time, and the sixth master said that he will solve the matter of Niu Chongtian this time, and let you see the seven phases." ”
I understood the meaning of the words, it seemed to be a reward, but it was actually a threat, I was afraid that I would not attack Uncle Niu, so I specially threatened me with Yu Hao's whereabouts.
"I will." I say.
Bai Shounian gave me a map and said, "Each of you has one, which records in detail Niu Chongtian's escape route these days, and you need to deduce for yourself where he stayed." ”
After saying this, Bai Shounian sent me out.
I opened the map, it was a simple map of the whole country, with a route drawn in red lines, and found that after leaving from the family temple, Uncle Niu first went to Dikeng Village, then to Fangshanyin Tomb, and from there after leaving, he went to Longfu Temple, and finally returned to the family temple.
There is a question mark painted on the part of the family temple, and four words are written next to it, and he has disappeared after leaving the family temple.
I looked at the map and felt that Uncle Niu was going around like this, he should be looking for something, remembering that he used Yu Hao's bone beads and coffin before changing his life, was he chasing the team of people carrying Yu Hao's coffin?
