Late at night, inside the pagoda.

The wick inside the oil lamp has been replaced.

The lights seemed to be brighter than before, and even the illuminated area of the Buddha statue was a little larger, but the shadow on the back was also deeper.

The old monk is still sitting in front of the Buddha statue, and his movements have not changed much, and he is meticulously carving the Buddha carving.

It's just that there is an extra wooden box next to it, which seems to be specially used to hold finished products.

In the open space not far from the Buddha statue is a simple bonfire, around which several people dressed in clean clothes sit on the ground.

The conversation still revolves around Yan Jing's discovery.

Although he couldn't lock down the location of the nest and take the other three to it, Yan Jing still described his discovery to the rest of the people as much as possible, so that they could have a rough impression of Hebo's lair.

After all, it was a team task, and the joint operation of several people outside the restaurant was also smooth, and Yan Jing did not exclude sharing intelligence.

Not to mention that there is an expert on the team who specializes in this area.

"Something like a Buddha statue...... It is made of gold and silver utensils, human sacrifice skeletons, and various miscellaneous items, so wait a minute. ”

As an expert in folklore and semiotics, Yan Jing's discovery undoubtedly made Yu Zhen quite excited, and immediately took out a pen and paper and drew a sketch according to Yan Jing's description, presenting the form of the Buddha statue at the bottom of the river, turned to the former and asked,

"Is that so?"

"yes, that's pretty much what you painted."

Yan Jing glanced at the sketch, surprised that Yu Zhen could restore seven or eight points of drawing ability just by describing it, shrugged his shoulders and said.

"That's weird."

Flipping the picture over to face the other three, Yu Zhen frowned, and continued,

"Although I don't know if the Buddhist culture of this era is similar to the modern world, one thing is certain, if it is a normal Buddha statue, it must not put on such a strange posture."

While speaking, Yu Zhen also specially imitated the posture of the Buddha statue in the painting.

Even if it wasn't standard, the other people still noticed that this posture naturally attached to the sense of oppression, and as Yu Zhen leaned out of his neck and turned his head from side to side, his image became more and more strange, and it looked like a foraging beast......

This is obviously contrary to the cultural concept of Buddhism, that is, nine times out of ten the bottom of the river is not a Buddha statue, or a "Buddha statue" made by Hebo according to his own needs.

"Why would an evil head make his lair look like this?"

Yu Ke, who was leaning on the pillar, looked at Zhao Qianwu next to him, who was holding a gray-white spar in his hand, and was sweeping from the handle of the gun all the way to the muzzle at the other end, as if he was checking something.

Could it be that Hebo has been suppressed by the pagoda for many years, and he has some Stockholm syndrome, and he has to be in the "arms" of the Buddha statue to fall asleep?

That's a little too perverted.

The clues are poor, and the question is obviously inconclusive at present, and several people have fallen silent.

On the contrary, Zhao Qianwu completed the test at this time, and seeing that the spar in his hand did not react, he said,

"Make sure the sniper rifle is not an extraordinary item, otherwise the detection of the hedron will react, so it seems that Luo Daochang is right, there are people, and it is likely that more than one person has been to Jingjiang Town before us, and they are likely to have been here decades ago."

"Clearly, the gunman failed, and his belongings were kept as trophies, like the gold and silver treasures offered by the townspeople.

Yu Ke took over and continued,

"Here's the problem, the stupa was in turmoil twelve years ago, and the age of this firearm is obviously older than that, and I suspect that they were probably involved in the sealing of evil spirits when they came to Jingjiang Town."

"A few decades ago...... As far as I know, the torch has appeared in the last few months, is there a parallel world like us? ”

Since participating in the otherworldly event of the torch, Yu Zhen has seen a lot of strange things, but it is indeed the first time she has encountered such a thing as a firearm from decades ago in an otherworldly event.

Zhao Qianwu glanced at Yu Zhen, he wanted to say something, but he seemed to have concerns in his heart, but in the end he didn't answer, Yu Ke's eyes on the other side flashed, and finally turned to the package in Yan Jing's hand.

"This is something I found in Hebo's lair, you can help me take a look, maybe I can find some valuable items or some other clues."

Since Yan Jing didn't have a clear goal, and the guidance given by the lucky compass was relatively general, he didn't have time to rummage at the bottom of the river, so he simply moved back all the items that he was aiming at, and continued,

"As for the sniper rifle matter, since we can't discuss it with a result, let's just ask the monk over there, what happened decades ago, maybe he will know something."

With that, Yan Jing took the sniper rifle from Zhao Qianwu's hand and turned to the monk on the other side.

When I got closer, I saw him put a Buddha sculpture into the box beside him.

Half squatting next to the monk, suddenly smelling a rotten smell, Yan Jing pursed his lips, and simply leaned back and sat directly on the ground,

"Hebo is dead, but in the process I found some unexpected circumstances, and I want to ask the master to solve his doubts."

"Donor, please."

"Have you seen this object, it was found in the Hebo's lair, it should have been a weapon used by someone decades ago."

Placing the sniper rifle in front of the monk, Yan Jing asked bluntly.

"I haven't seen it...... If I've seen such a strange weapon, I won't forget it. ”

"In your impression, have there been people similar to us in Jingjiang Town, not only in recent years, maybe decades ago when you sealed the evil cult, did you pass by to help?"

"The poor monk became a monk and entered the pagoda ten years ago, when the evil cult had been suppressed inside the pagoda, and as for what happened before that, several masters were secretive and never mentioned it."

When it comes to evil, talking too much about it will only affect the spiritual will, and it is normal to choose to keep it secret.

It's just that the monk's questions still made Yan Jing quite disappointed, and he was about to get up and leave, when suddenly he seemed to think of something, and squatted down again to ask,

"Another thing, after Hebo's death, a large amount of energy suddenly gushed out of his body that could transform into various desires...... That is, gold and silver treasures, beauties, servants and the like, after that, this part of the energy suddenly disappears, what does this situation mean? ”

Yan Jing's intuition told him that this phenomenon was no coincidence, but he really didn't study the evil spirits, let alone where these energies ended up, so he tried to ask.

"According to the imagery described by the donor, they are all human desires, or they can be called greed, maybe this is the source of Hebo's power, as for the sudden disappearance of these energies after his death, I am just a mortal, and I really can't give an answer for the donor."

After a pause with the chisel and mallet in his hand, the old monk glanced at the Buddha sculpture that had just been carved into his face in front of him, and threw it into the scrap pile on the side.

Unable to get an answer or clue from the monk's mouth, Yan Jing withdrew his sniper rifle and got up to return.

Walking near the bonfire, he unexpectedly learned that Zhao Qianwu had made a new discovery.

I saw that most of the things he brought up from the bottom of the river had been checked by the three of them, and Yu Ke was holding a palm-sized wooden box in his hand, flipping back and forth, as if looking for a switch on the top.

Different from the common wooden boxes, the surface of Yu Ke's hand is not only engraved with many inscriptions, but also traces of charms pasted.

Yan Jinggang wanted to ask, but saw Yu Ke tap his hands on all sides of the wooden box, and easily pressed one groove after another, and then the entire surface of the wooden box turned into dozens of wooden squares as if split, and began to break and reorganize with a specific law.

Such a scene made the three people, including Yan Jing, invariably set their eyes on Yu Ke.

Yan Jing may not be very familiar with the trap box, but he still recognizes the text style used by the talisman on it, and he can see at a glance that this thing comes from the same group of people as the sniper rifle, and it is an old object from decades ago.

"I've learned the solution of this kind of mechanism before, but I just tried it, but I didn't expect to be lucky, and I succeeded in one time."

Xu was aware of the strange gaze from his surroundings, and Yu Ke immediately opened his mouth to explain.

It's a pity that this reason is a bit far-fetched, not to mention Yan Jing, the other two also have 'Really' written on their faces? I don't believe it! ’。

It's just that no matter how much you don't believe it, no one asks without interest.

Everyone present has secrets, and this time it is just a temporary cooperation, and some things have to be measured.

With a crisp chirp, the wooden box opened.

Several people couldn't help but get nervous, after all, what could be preserved with charms and such delicate mechanisms was not an ordinary object.

However, Yu Ke, who was the first to see the items contained in the wooden box, was stunned in place, and immediately raised his hand directly to take out the contents of the wooden box.

It's actually a Buddha statue again......

No, it should be a wooden Buddha head the size of half a palm, to be exact.

It looks ordinary, but the workmanship is more delicate than that carved by the monks, and there is nothing peculiar about it.

"Why should a wooden Buddha head be kept in such a strict way?"

Zhao Qianwu asked the confusion in the hearts of several people,

"Could it be that there is some secret hidden here?"

What followed was nothing more than a new round of testing, and several people each used their own methods to try to discover the secret hidden in this Buddha head, and Yan Jing also specially asked the monk for advice again.

Again, it turned out to be nothing......

Neither the extraordinary techniques used by the four of them, nor the observations of the monks, could unravel the mystery.

Time has also passed in one attempt after another.

"We can't go on like this, we have to set off tomorrow to find the other two evils, we need plenty of rest."

In the end, it was Zhao Qianwu who interrupted everyone's useless work.

"We just experienced the big battle tonight, and everyone's spirits are very tired, so it is obviously not suitable for further research."

This is a fact, Rao is Yan Jing will inevitably feel dizzy now, the previous battle with the evil has caused the aggravation of the wisdom erosion, and the sequelae are gradually emerging, now it is undoubtedly the right decision to seize the time to rest and recover his mental state.

Of course, rest is rest, and under the premise that He Jianbing never appeared, the four of them still discussed and decided on their respective vigil times.

The Buddha's head was eventually handed over to Yan Jing for safekeeping.

It would have been his trophy.
