We sat in the car for several hours, and finally arrived at the foot of the Xiangshan forest, looking up from afar, this steep trail is familiar but unfamiliar. Once upon a time, the trail was filled with people coming and going and worshipping the gods, but now the trail is empty.

At that time, how many people believed in this Taoist temple, but with the successive deaths of the split-lip Taoist priest and the rotten-faced Taoist priest, people went to view the sky, and no one came here anymore. Shen Nuo also sighed a little, during the period after I left G City, Shen Nuo had been observing this Taoist temple for me, and she was no stranger to it.

We went all the way up, and it took dozens of minutes for us to reach the top of the mountain. Shen Nuo was a little tired, Tang Yingxuan and I were not in a hurry to go in to investigate, we helped Shen Nuo to sit down on the stone on the side. Shen Nuo's face turned even paler, and I was a little worried about climbing such a high mountain as soon as his body recovered.

When I looked down the trail, my eyelids kept beating and my heart was racing. People often say that the right eye is a disaster, and the nerve movement of the human body is never associated with an omen. But this time, I felt very uneasy, and I always felt that something big was going to happen, and it was a very bad thing.

After resting, we stepped into this empty Taoist temple. After Lin Daokai's death, we came once, at that time, in addition to Jiang Jun and Liu Jia, and Zhou Kun also followed us, but when we came up the mountain, we didn't find anything. As Lin's suspicions deepened, we had to do it again.

Among the Taoist temples, the most eye-catching are still those gray or black Taoist statues, and the expressions of each Taoist statues are fierce and vicious. I looked at one of the Taoist statues, this statue was Lin Daokai's belief, and he also made it, perhaps, Lin Daokai showed all the dissatisfaction, anger and despair in his heart through the Taoist statue.

"Professor Li, do you think this rotten-faced Taoist priest is more likely to be a good person or a bad person?" One of the policemen asked me.

To be honest, I'm not sure. At the beginning, Xiao Gang pretended to be a ghost on the mountain, and what he asked was to transfer the suspicion to this Taoist temple, perhaps to make us pay attention to Lin Daokai, or maybe to make us think that Lin Daokai and Xiong Wancheng were together. If Lin Daokai is the person behind the scenes, then his level is definitely very high, at least not lower than his father's status, and even, he is the one behind the scenes.

But in either case, it doesn't do him any good to draw our attention to him.

I took out the letter left by Xiong Wancheng again, Xiong Wancheng can already be determined to be a pawn behind the scenes, even if this letter is a guide, there are only two possibilities: one is to guide us into the set, and the other is to guide us to solve the case. The murderer has lured us more than once, but he usually leads us to the bait with the crime.

There is also a painting like Zhu Li, which leads me to the next case.

However, this sentence "If you are not a person in the Taoist sect, no one can solve this case", it doesn't seem to play a role, at least, we haven't been pulled into any trap and trap by the mastermind behind the scenes because of this sentence. Therefore, I began to think differently, this sentence may be guiding us to solve the case.

And if it is the clue that guides us to solve the case, it cannot be left by the mastermind behind the scenes, that is, unless Xiong Wancheng's conscience finds it, he will not leave this letter. I suddenly remembered that when the handwriting was first appraised, the basic contrast used by the police for handwriting comparison was the self-written calligraphy in Xiong Wancheng's room.

However, no one can be sure that those brush characters are from Xiong Wancheng's hand. It's just that we infer based on all kinds of evidence that it was written by Xiong Wancheng. I frowned and followed my train of thought. Perhaps, this line of words was not left by Xiong Wancheng at all.

Just like the blue book, it was left by Lin Daokai.

Lin Daokai left clues to guide us, then, Lin Daokai may not be the person behind the scenes, and Lin Daokai must not be a simple person, and the clues he left behind cannot be useless. I secretly told Shen Nuo and Tang Yingxuan about my speculation, and Tang Yingxuan asked rhetorically, do we still have to find someone from the Dao Sect?

I sighed, everything is just my subjective speculation, my logic has been confused, before I find any clues, my speculation about Lin Daokai's right or evil is all empty words. However, Tang Yingxuan's words reminded me that this sentence consists of two parts.

The result of this sentence is: to solve the case, and the condition of this sentence is: only people in the Daomen.

Assuming that this statement is true, then both the conditions and the consequences must be true. This is the most basic logical condition in legal logic, and solving this case is our goal, so we must go to the people in the Daomen. However, after Tang Yingxuan and I thought about it, apart from this Taoist priest in this Taoist temple, we don't seem to have a way to find other so-called Taoist people, or rather, we don't know who to look for.

In the vast sea of people, there are so many people in the Daomen, and when everyone is not suspicious, it is really a needle in a haystack to find someone who doesn't know if it exists. We were thinking about what to do, when Shen Nuo suddenly said: "If it is a guide, it can't be an unrestricted and unconditional guidance." ”

Shen Nuo means that the so-called people in the Dao Sect should not be difficult to find, otherwise, guidance is equivalent to no guidance.

I felt like I had been slammed into it, and I immediately searched for it in the temple, but after looking around, I didn't find anything. When we returned to the main hall, I sighed with a bit of frustration holding on to a Taoist statue, Shen Nuo was slightly stunned, pointed to the Taoist statue, and said, "People in the Taoist Gate, will you refer to this?" ”

I jerked my head back, and my thoughts suddenly cleared up.

In Taoism, the real Taoist people should not refer to these Taoist priests, because they are just ordinary people, and the real Taoist people should be the legendary Taoist people who have become immortals. However, no one has ever seen the so-called immortals, and what everyone sees can only be the Taoist statues of these immortals.

The Tao statue, in the eyes of all believers, is the embodiment of immortals.

After listening to Shen Nuo's words, Tang Yingxuan and I glanced at each other, and jumped on the high platform at the same time, we began to observe these black Dao statues one by one, we refused to let go of every detail of each Dao statue, but I looked at it for a long time, more than an hour passed, and I still didn't find any strange clues.

I asked Tang Yingxuan, "Did you find anything?" ”

Tang Yingxuan shook his head, and was about to give up when Tang Yingxuan suddenly kicked over a statue, which smashed from the high platform to the ground and shattered all at once. Immediately after, Tang Yingxuan kicked down the second Dao Statue, the Dao Statue was still broken, but there was still nothing inside.

I already understood what Tang Yingxuan was doing, and he guessed that there was something wrong with these Dao statues. Tang Yingxuan didn't have any religious beliefs, he showed no mercy to these Taoist statues, and kicked them one by one. Tang Yingxuan glanced at me and asked me if I wasn't ready to help. I nodded, and like Tang Yingxuan, I began to smash these statues.

All the policemen began to help, and just like that, the Taoist statues in the Taoist temple were smashed by us one after another, and finally, when the last Taoist statue was smashed, Tang Yingxuan jumped off the high platform, he squatted down and groped in the fragments of the Taoist statue, and soon, he groped for something.

It was a small bottle, I immediately leaned over, Tang Yingxuan carefully looked at the bottle in his hand a few times, and opened the small bottle. In the bottle, there was a piece of paper, which was densely written, all words, and a map was also drawn. And those words, all of them are hieroglyphs from the Blue Book, and we can't understand them.

Only then did I realize that this smashed statue was much newer than the others, and it seemed to have been made later.

"It seems that Lin Daokai really left clues for us, and this Dao statue is where he hides clues." Shen Nuo said.

Tang Yingxuan was puzzled: "If he left a clue for us, why didn't he just say it, and he wanted to beat around the bush like this?" ”
