Chapter 83: The Temple Fair (Part II)

The land gives birth to grain, and the grain feeds the people, so people sacrifice to the land.

The god of the land temple is not high, the shape is rough and simple, and even a little shabby, but the popularity is very strong, and there is an endless stream of people who come to offer incense.

Zhao Lin and Liang Song walked into the temple gate and saw two simple clay statues in front of the hall: the land lord and the land woman, looking like an ordinary rural old man and old lady.

There is a couplet on both sides of the shrine, the upper couplet reads: The father-in-law is very fair, and the lower couplet reads: The mother-in-law has a mother-in-law's heart.

Horizontal batch: God blesses the earth.

There are also statues of Buddha and Taoist patriarchs on both sides of the hall, and several monks and Taoists are also busy begging for incense money.

Zhao Lin is not surprised, there are also Buddhists and Taoists in this world, but their influence is far less than in the previous life, and most of the people use it as spiritual sustenance or psychological comfort.

Interestingly, both Buddhism and Taoism claim that belief is spiritual, and non-belief is ineffective.

But the mentality of the people is just the opposite: if the spirit is believed, if it is not spiritual, it is not believed, or don't ask me if I believe it or not, first ask you if the spirit is spiritual.

Zhao Lin observed the monks and Taoists, and found that they were ordinary, no different from ordinary people, thinking that this was a martial arts world after all, not a place where immortals could be cultivated.

When the two of them came out of the temple, there was a sea of people in front of them, and it was very lively.

Singing, performing social fire masks, stepping on stilts, playing tricks, asking for signs and divination, pinching candy people, paper-cutting, batik, lettering...... It's dizzying.

The two of them walked around and watched, and came to a tea stall near noon.

There was a table in front of the tea stall, and a man who looked like a storyteller was holding a folding fan and was talking:

"The blue sky cannot be bullied, heroes are born with courage, although it is not a good deal, there are really a lot of people who come today."

said "snap" and slapped eye-catching:

"Everyone, listen to the truth, the next thing I want to talk about is the serial rape and murder case in Qinghe County, and Zhao Zhutou is ...... to fight wisely."

Liang Song looked over with a smile: "Brother Zhao, what about you." ”

Zhao Lin couldn't help but wonder, he didn't expect to become a celebrity.

The two stopped and listened for a while, and gradually became strange.

I don't know where Mr. Storyteller heard the joke, telling the already tortuous case with ups and downs, and adding a lot of "magic reform" plots.

In the lyrics, Zhao Lin and Wen Gensheng are immortals, and the other is a demon lord descended from heaven.

Zhao Lin hung by a thread several times, escaped thrillingly, and finally rose up bravely and used the spell at the bottom of the box to capture Wen Gensheng.

Although the story is outrageous, the people are quite convinced, and applause and cheers come and go.

"Zhao Zhutou is really powerful, if he hadn't made a move, I don't know how many innocent women would have been murdered."

"Yes, I heard that his family used to be from Baitou Mountain, and I am half a fellow countryman with you."

"You don't know yet, Zhao Zhutou and I are from the same village, and I also peed on him when he was a child......"

Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the person who spoke, it was a rough man with a red scarf on his head, and he didn't know it at all.

Shaking his head, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard a whisper.

"Shi Tou, I heard that Zhao Zhuchang still has parents and brothers at home, do you know where his family lives?"

The voice was not loud, and it was far away, but Zhao Lin had already developed a habit of turning on all the auditory scans around every few breaths, and the sound within a radius of nearly 100 meters could not escape his ears.

There is something wrong with this statement.

I'm famous, and it's normal for someone to ask, but why do you ask about your family?

Zhao Lin followed the prestige and saw a man in black standing under the stage, talking to a person dressed as a soap clerk.

He immediately walked to a place where there was less traffic, the Adam's apple vibrated and the ultrasound beam was launched in the direction of the two men.

I only heard the soap official say: "Long San, why are you asking about this?" ”

The man in black laughed twice, "Shi Tou must also know that our Tiger Head Gang is in Dongcheng and is under the jurisdiction of Chief Zhao. ”

"Our helper wants to have a relationship with Zhao Catcher, so let me inquire."

The soap officer let out an "oh" and said, "In this way, to be honest, I don't know where Zhao Zhuchang's family lives." He slept in the yamen every day, and I didn't even know he had a family. ”

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually."

The man in black didn't speak again, and watched the play for a while before quietly leaving.

Zhao Lin stared at the man's back, his brows furrowed.

The man in black's rhetoric seems reasonable, but it can't stand up to scrutiny.

I often patrol the streets of Dongcheng, and if the Tiger Head Gang wants to build a relationship, it is not a troublesome thing to invite myself over.

Inquire about your own family, and you know that you have parents and brothers, there is definitely a problem!

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Lin suddenly fell into a "daze", Liang Song intuitively felt that something had happened, and asked with concern.

"You wait for me here, I'll do something."

Zhao Lin explained and quickly followed.

The man in black casually watched the show for a while, ate something for a while, and stopped to observe every place he went.

However, Zhao Lin has echolocation, and he doesn't need to look to know where he is, and it is effortless to track.

After following for an hour, Zhao Lin had already determined that the man in black, or the Tiger Head Gang, had bad intentions towards him.

During this time, the man in black talked to three more people: a merchant in Dongcheng, a Yapo in Dongcheng, and one under his own people.

The topics of conversation are all about their own families!

To say that's okay is hell to say.

What do the Axe Gang want to do?

Zhao Lin is now the commander of Dongcheng, and there are nearly thirty catchers under him, and he has a clear understanding of the gangs in the jurisdiction.

He had long heard that the leader of the Tiger Head Gang had something to do with the beard outside the city, although it was just a rumor, but it was groundless, and there must be a reason for it.

It's a beard again!

It seems that the beard can't help himself and starts to play yin.

Although the whereabouts of his family are secret, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and he can't stand up to inquiry.

Once the family falls into the hands of the beard...... Zhao Lin thought of their methods against Zhou Paotou and Zhu Dachun, and his heart chilled and he shuddered.

"It's over, isn't it?"

Zhao Lin gritted his teeth, fully opened his hearing, and walked through the flow of people, forcibly enduring the discomfort of dizziness, and collected everyone's conversations.

It didn't matter, he soon found that it was not only this man in black who inquired about his family, but also two people who were doing the same thing.

One is from the Tiger Head Gang, and the other is from the Water Dragon Gang.

How can there still be a water dragon gang?

The Water Dragon Gang is not in the East City, but in the North City, the power is also greater than that of the Tiger Head Gang.

The two gangs worked together to find out something, and it was really not difficult.

"The Tiger Head Gang and the Water Dragon Gang, right?"

Zhao Lin thought silently in his heart, "Since you are willing to act as bearded minions, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

The temple fair was still lively, but he had no intention of watching it......
