Chapter Seventy-Three: A Big Case

()"Lanruo Temple? The shopkeeper said a little inexplicably: "Back to the guest official, the little one has been working in this Jinhua City more than ten years ago, but he has never heard of any Lanruo Temple. This guest officer, are you sure that there is a place called Lanruo Temple on the boundary of this Jinhua City? ”

Chen Qiubai stared at a pair of big eyes, looked at this shop in disbelief, and said: "There is a Lanruo Temple outside Jinhua City, that is something that everyone in the world knows, you were born in Jinhua City, I didn't expect that you didn't even know Lanruo Temple, this little second brother, are you from Jinhua City?" ”

The shopkeeper said very anxiously: "This ...... This...... Guest officer, you really wronged me, the little one was indeed already in this Jinhua City more than ten years ago, but I really haven't heard of what is called Lanruo Temple. ”

Chen Qiubai didn't follow, and said loudly: "The people in this world, no one knows, no one knows, there is a Lanruo Temple outside Jinhua City, and there is a ...... in this Lanruo Temple" But Chen Qiubai immediately stopped saying nothing after saying this.

The shopkeeper listened to Chen Qiubai's words for half a while, but he didn't expect Chen Qiubai to be silent, so he asked Chen Qiubai to the bottom of the matter: "What is there in this Lanruo Temple?" Guest, why do you only speak half of your words? ”

"There is a thousand-year-old tree demon in Lanruo Temple!" At this time, I saw a gray-haired old man coming from the side, saying to Chen Qiubai and the shopkeeper.

"There's a thousand-year-old dryad in Lanruo Temple?" The shopkeeper looked back at the white-haired old man in confusion, and then said to him: "Isn't this Old Lady Chen, you just said that there is a thousand-year-old tree demon in Lanruo Temple, could it be that there is really a Lanruo Temple in the Jinhua realm, but why I have been in Jinhua City for more than ten years, and I have never heard of any Lanruo Temple at all." ”

"Huh! Well, it is said that more than 20 years ago, that Lanruo Temple can really be said to be the premier temple in the entire Jinhua City, this Lanruo Temple incense is prosperous, good men and women come and go, but I don't know when it started, the back of Lanruo Temple grew out of a thousand-year-old locust tree, this old locust tree in Lanruo Temple suffered the incense of the world, the essence of the sun and the moon, listened to the sound of the Buddha, the morning bell and the dusk drum. Unexpectedly, this thousand-year-old locust tree actually awakened the spiritual root and gained spiritual wisdom. Old lady Chen said with a little emotion.

The shopkeeper asked impatiently: "I said Old Lady Chen, you are really a chatter, I heard you say so much, why do you say something useless, or don't talk about the point." ”

Old lady Chen frowned and said to the shopkeeper: "You little second, don't be so anxious, okay, let's listen to me slowly." ”

Chen Qiubai also nodded and said: "Since this thousand-year-old locust tree is only able to attain spiritual enlightenment because of the incense in the world, then it should bless the people and protect the peace of the party." ”

Old Lady Chen said hatefully: "Who said it wasn't, originally this thousand-year-old locust tree was also quite kind, and it also had deep spiritual roots. It can also be regarded as benefiting the people of Jinhua, making Lanruo Temple, which was not eye-catching, a place of interest in the peak of incense. And this old locust tree is also named the thousand-year-old spirit tree. It's just that later the tree was very popular, because the fame of this old locust tree was too prosperous, it spread throughout the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, but I didn't expect it to cause an unnecessary disaster. ”

Chen Qiubai frowned and said, "That's right, as the saying goes, this person is afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong." I think this old locust tree is probably because it is too prestigious, so that some high-ranking people want to cut down this old locust tree, but I didn't expect it to get into trouble. Isn't that the case? ”

The old lady looked at Chen Qiubai a little inexplicably and said, "I haven't said anything here, but I didn't expect this gentleman to have already guessed ** is not far from ten." That's right, it was indeed because a big official in Jinhua City took a fancy to this spiritual thousand-year-old locust tree and wanted to cut it home to be a pillar, thinking that he could protect his family and protect his family and extend the blessing of his descendants. Outcome...... Alas! I didn't expect it! Unexpected! ”

Chen Qiubai thinks that this information is quite important, as long as he can know what the thousand-year-old spirit tree of Lanruo Temple has become the thousand-year-old tree spirit that kills people without blinking, he may be able to get some clues or tasks that are beneficial to him, and that is also quite a good opportunity.

Chen Qiubai hurriedly asked the old man, "What didn't you think of?" You just said that the big official went to Lanruo Temple to look at the thousand-year-old spirit tree, what happened to the result? ”

The shopkeeper was also anxious, and then Chen Qiubai hurriedly asked: "Yes, yes, old lady Chen, did that official eunuch cut down that thousand-year-old tree in the end?" ”

Old lady Chen sighed, and said with a slight fear: "I don't know if this is cut down or not, but at that time, the official master, because he was afraid that he would be too ostentatious during the day, chose to take his family servants and servants at night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a group of people came to Lanruo Temple together, wanting to cut down the thousand-year-old spirit tree." Results ......"

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked, "What is the result?" ”

Old Lady Chen showed a more frightened look and said: "I don't know what the result was, but since that night, the official master and his family servants, as well as all the monks and pilgrims in Lanruo Temple that night, one of them is counted as one, and they have completely disappeared like this, and they have never come out of Lanruo Temple again." ”

can kill so many people at once, it seems that this old demon of Montenegro is really powerful, but since this old demon of Montenegro is so powerful, how can he let him stay for so many more years, is there no one to clean him up at the time of the incident?

Chen Qiubai asked Old Lady Chen with a solemn face: "So in this case, wouldn't the government of Jinhua City take care of it at that time, so many people disappeared at once, and it was a big case at that time." ”
