The old village chief's loud voice interrupted Jiang Qi's thoughts.

Jiang Qi glanced at Xiao Mei and didn't speak, but Xiao Mei understood and nodded affirmatively and said, "I heard it right, Jiang Bing is talking about the tomb of Grand Master Xihua, not the temple!" ”

"Could it be that the second blind man heard it wrong?"

The old village chief said again at this time.

Xiao Mei stopped talking, and if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.

"I'll check right away"

As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and dialed it.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Mei walked back with a frown.

"Jiang Bing has already asked the second blind man, and he promises that he heard correctly, it is the tomb of Grand Master Xihua."

Xiao Mei's answer made Jiang Qi frown.

"What's wrong with what?"

"Of course not, there is no way there is a tomb of Cheng Xuanying in Jiangyin."

Jiang Qi said affirmatively.

He remembered very well that Cheng Xuanying was demoted to Yuntai Mountain in his later years for participating in the rebellion, thousands of miles away from here.

Even if you want to find the tomb of Cheng Xuanying, you should go to Yuntai Mountain, how can someone stupidly run thousands of miles to come here?

After Jiang Qi's explanation, Xiao Mei was also completely confused.

It can't be that those people are all fools who don't distinguish between four and six, right?

"It's really getting more and more interesting."

Jiang Qi touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Because he didn't know much about Cheng Xuanying, Jiang Qi's guesses were very limited.

But when you think about it, there's something unusual about it.

Jiang Qi didn't think those people would be in the wrong place.

In this way, the people behind the two blind men are not necessarily looking for a tomb, but may also be looking for something related to Grand Master Xihua.

Jiang Qi felt that he had grasped the point, so he continued: "Old village chief, I remember you just said that this Xihua Grand Master Temple was built eighty years ago, right? ”

"Not bad!"

The old village chief nodded again and again.

"Didn't I say that there was a living sacrifice in Jiangyin eighty years ago? The temple of the Grand Master of Naxihua was built after that. ”

Jiang Qi was not surprised.

In fact, when he heard that the Xihua Grand Master Temple was also built eighty years ago, Jiang Qi faintly guessed that there should be a connection between the two.

"Do you remember the specifics?"

"Of course I do."

The old village chief had a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"At that time, I had just turned five years old, and although it was still a war, Jiangyin was born on water, and my life was reasonable."

"It wasn't until one day that there was an undercurrent on the Qianlong River, and fishing boats were constantly being sucked in, that people started to get nervous."

"Later, a Taoist priest came to us and said that the undercurrent on the Qianlong River was caused by the anger of the river god, and if you want to calm the anger of the river god, you need to have sacrifices......

When the old village chief said this, he suddenly felt a coldness rising from the tail vertebrae and pouring straight into his head, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Meizheng looking indignant, so he avoided it at the moment, skipped the unimportant plot, and continued to talk.

"I was there at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that a huge figure surfaced under the Qianlong River, it was a black dragon."

"It was also after that that that Qianlong River returned to its past, and later at the suggestion of that person, the Xihua Grand Master Temple was built."

"It is said to be to suppress the river god!"

Xiao Mei listened to the whole process, and without waiting for Jiang Qi to speak, she complained to herself.

"Isn't that Taoist person sick? If you want to suppress the river god, why do you want to sacrifice alive? ”

Jiang Qi didn't answer, but said to the old village chief: "Old village chief, let's go to the temple again, is it convenient for you to see?" ”

"Convenient, what's inconvenient about this!"

The old village chief promised to come down before leaving the room, Jiang Qi stopped and said to Xiao Mei who came behind: "Officer Xiao, if you have nothing to do, why don't you accompany Xiaobao here?" ”

Xiao Mei didn't know how to hear this, her face turned pale instantly, and her gaze became unkind when she looked at Jiang Qi.

Laugh at her for being timid at this time, right?

The old village chief saw that the two of them were tense, and played a round on the side, "Hehe, Xiaobao is very well-behaved and doesn't need to be accompanied." ”

Jiang Qi didn't speak, but stared directly at Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei was angry at first, and when she saw Jiang Qi's meaningful eyes, she quickly understood.

"Got it, I'll be here with Xiaobao."

"How can a child be alone without an adult?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qi smiled slightly, he knew that Xiao Mei had understood his intentions.

Of course, it is an excuse to accompany Xiaobao here, the purpose is to stare here to see if you can find any other clues.

Xiao Mei has done a lot of this kind of thing before, so she naturally knows the process clearly.

It's Xiaobao's child......

Glancing at the room, Xiao Mei shuddered, and she didn't want to go in again.

……

Jiang Qi left with peace of mind after explaining Xiao Mei.

After returning to the Xihua Grand Mage Temple, Jiang Qi started to wander around again, but compared to the last time he only wandered around casually, this time he was obviously more serious.

Not only did he check every inch of the foundation in the temple, but even the walls and eaves and even the statues of the gods were not spared, just like the old village chief said, this temple is newly repaired, and the things in it have no value.

At least, Jiang Qi searched all the places where he thought he might hide things and have cats, but found nothing.

"It's weird!"

Jiang Qi squatted on the ground a little depressed, taking advantage of the rest to change his mind by the way.

"Could it be that I was thinking wrong?"

Jiang Qi muttered to himself.

Since bringing him to the Xihua Grand Master Temple, the old village chief has left.

And according to his orders, no one will come in this temple for the time being.

Looking up at the mural on the wall, Jiang Qi fell into deep thought.

He had noticed the mural on this wall before, it was about the life of Cheng Xuanying, who was so immortal, and a mural in front of him happened to be the content of his sacrifice on the seaside.

The altar of the yellow case is built high, thirty-six cloud flags are unfurled, six pairs of attendants stand on both sides of the Taoist, and in the arms of the Taoist are two crying children.

It's just that why is this wall still uneven?

Jiang Qi looked at the bulge in the corner of the mural, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he subconsciously reached out and touched it, and a white light suddenly exploded in front of him.

Jiang Qi only felt that the vision in front of him was gradually illusory, and the Taoist in the mural also became a real person, and the picture unfolded.

"Report, national teacher!"

"Your Majesty's expedition to Goguryeo was defeated, and now he is about to return south, so he urgently ordered the national division to clear the monsters of the East China Sea within ten days and clarify the route."

Cheng Xuanying, who was still in the prime of life, was silent for a long time when she heard the words of the herald, and after the herald retreated, she saw a cadre of Taoist priests coming in from outside, all with sad faces.

"Your Majesty's expedition failed, and many soldiers of the dynasty will return from the East China Sea by boat, but now there are monsters in the East China Sea."

"But with our means, not to mention ten days, I'm afraid it's a year, and I can't help that animal."

"National teacher, what should I do now?"

The Taoist priests surrounded Cheng Xuanying to complain.

"Now the only way to do it is to make a living sacrifice."
