Han Da'er was sending the flatbread sauce and meat to his mouth, while listening to the chatter between the tall and the short.

It turns out that outside the north gate, not far from the South Canal, there is a City God Temple. The small temple has been abandoned for several years, the roof of the temple is also broken, the statues of the gods are about to fall, and in the past few years, even the temple in the temple has left. In the North Gate Guard Alley, there lives a carpenter, surnamed Zhou. Lao Zhou's family wants to repair the house, he is a money fan, and the famous iron rooster porcelain crane - the roots are not plucked. There are many temples in Tianjin Wei'an, this city god temple is the smallest, sandwiched in the small alley and inconspicuous, he fell in love with the wood in the temple early in the morning, so he moved his mind!

Who knew that because of this, Lao Zhou offended Lord Chenghuang!

That day, Lao Zhou and his brother, the two of them went to the City God Temple to steal wood, in the middle of the night the clouds and the moon was dark, just entered the temple, there was a gust of wind outside the temple, the two thieves were bold, and they didn't care about the gods like electricity, and they took care of the wood by themselves.

The two of them were dismantling the wood, and at this time, a breath of black gas suddenly erupted from the mouth of the statue of the City God, and then a black-faced judge appeared in the main hall! This black-faced judge has fangs and eyes like lights, is two feet tall, and has a pestle to the sky and the earth. Without saying a word, he stretched out two ghost claws the size of a fan, one in each hand, and grabbed the neck stalks of the old Zhou brothers, these two brothers competed with the little chickens, and before they even had time to scream, they were grabbed by the judge, rolled in a gust of wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The tall man didn't believe it, but the short man swore that it was the second boy in the alley who went to the thatched house at night, and passed by the City God Temple to see it with his own eyes. Lu Zutang's old Taoist said, this is the city god of the Yin Division who wants to recruit soldiers, and the recruitment is not one or two, and I don't know how many people are going to be arrested by the judge!

The two of them stood in the corner, giggling and arguing. These two people said unintentionally, but Han Dada'er was intentional in listening. The previous Haihe floating corpse, the three people were all missing in the area outside the north gate, and now these two people say that there are people missing outside the north gate recently. It's a superstitious rumor that the judge is taking people, but the judge they said is too much like the strong arm described by the pestle, plus the little head saw someone throwing a corpse by the South Canal, and it was not far from the area outside the north gate, so the three clues must be related to each other.

Han Da'er no longer cared about the tall and short bickering, while eating flatbread and sauce, he walked home, washed it when he got home, and went to bed and lay down, but he tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep. He connected the clues, and suddenly a bold speculation came to his mind, but this speculation was extremely strange, and even he felt unbelievable.

Han Daring thought of this, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. At this moment, he had no intention of sleeping at all, thinking to himself, if the matter of the City God Temple was true, it was very likely that there were some innocent people who were about to die at this moment. Thinking that his life was at stake, he turned over from the bed and sat up, got dressed and went to visit the City God Temple at night!

In the past, the patrol officers did not carry guns, and at most they had a wooden baton painted with red and white road paint. Han Daring thought about it, this arm should really be like what Nose said, he was empty-handed, if he really met, maybe he would suffer! Although he has kung fu on his body, and he is a master of art, he is bold, but he can strangle a middle-aged male with one hand, and if he has the strength, he must not make some preparations in advance, in case of a fight, he may not necessarily kill anyone.

Han Daring rummaged through the cabinets, found two handy guys, and was about to stop, so he quietly went out in the dark. At this time, it was almost midnight, and the bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the street unusually bright. Han Daring's house is on Dongxing Street, not far from the old city, his feet are fast, and he has come to the north gate of the old city without a cup of tea.

He adjusted his breath and walked towards the City God Temple in the cul-de-sac outside the north gate. At this time, the surrounding residents were all asleep, and several nearby alleys were silent, with only a few occasional insect chirping and dog barking. He walked lightly towards the City God Temple, in addition to this City God Temple, there was only a small courtyard in the dead end, the courtyard gate was dilapidated, wide open, the courtyard and the eaves were covered with artemisia grass, obviously no one lived in it for a long time.

It is said that three years ago, there was a strange case in this dead-end courtyard. There was originally a family of four living in the small courtyard, but all four of them disappeared mysteriously overnight, and no one was seen alive or dead, and since then there has been a legend that this dead end is haunted. This is a dead end, there is no way through, there are not many people who usually come, and after it is rumored that it is haunted, there are fewer people in and out, and the temple is also deserted, only occasionally some children come here to play.

Two years ago, there were a few cases of losing children, saying that someone saw that a big fox stood up, ran into the City God Temple with the child in his arms, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Since then, the adults at the door have not allowed their children to play in the dead-end alley, and this alley has been ignored. Now there are a lot of sundries and bricks piled up at the mouth of the alley, and people who are not familiar with this place do not know that there is a dead end, even if they have played this, if they do not look carefully, they will not find this alley.

Han Daring walked to the gate of the City God Temple. He was afraid that if he alarmed the murderer, he did not dare to push open the temple door and make a sound, so he could only turn sideways and squeeze in through the half-open temple door. The open space in the front hall is not very wide, and there is a big tree on the left and right of the door, and at this time the moonlight covers the shadows of the trees, and a breeze blows, and the leaves rustle, which is very terrifying.

The City God Temple in this alley is not very large, only two entrances in front and back. In the front hall is the Yaksha judge, and through the front hall, you will come to the slightly larger main hall. In the front yard of the main hall, there are also overgrown weeds, and there is a stone incense burner in the middle, and the incense burner is mixed with the dirt and grass in the courtyard, and it looks like a fierce beast that opens its mouth and howls.

Han Daring stood on tiptoe and approached the main hall. See that the main hall gate is old and dilapidated, the window lattice paper is full of holes, the eaves corner is tattered, the temple tiles are scattered, and the artemisia grass on the top of the hall is more than half a person high. Looking into the hall through the window lattice, it was pitch black all around, and only a little moonlight shone into the temple through the hole in the window lattice. He softly pushed open the door of the temple, only to make a squeak, and suddenly the roof crow was alarmed by the sound of pushing the door, and let out two strange cries, which suddenly made it even more eerie.

Han Daring stood by the door, glancing into the hall. The main hall is not too high, two hall pillars top up a beam, there are several broken futons under the beam, there is a copper incense burner in front of the futon, the incense burner is very large is an open four-legged square tripod, and a heavy stone slab is cushioned under the tripod.

Behind Fang Ding, there is an offering table tilted upside down, and behind the offering table is the clay statue of the city god. The roof of the temple on the head of the statue of the god broke a big hole, the statue of the god was covered with dust and the patent skin fell off, and the lacquer color at the crown of the crown was downstreamed, so that the face of the statue was full of dirt, and it was obvious that the roof of the temple was permeable and leaked from the rain for a long time, and was washed by the rain. At this time to midnight, the moonlight spilled from the hole in the roof of the temple and shone on the statue, and the statue with a messy and dirty face was even more terrifying.

Han Da'er lit the water moon lantern and quietly walked into the main hall with the lamp. In the middle of the hall is the stone brick floor of the sea wall, and the so-called sea wall is to turn the head and stand up, with the side facing up, and the ground of the wall is stacked. This type of floor is more expensive than tiling bricks, but it is more durable. The hall was full of dust, and the ground around it was covered with a thick layer of dust, and if anyone stepped on it, it would leave footprints, except for the center of the hall, until the door, and the ground was very clean, and there was not much dust.

Han Daring stepped forward to check with a lantern, although there was also some dust and footprints, but it was much less than the dust in the corners of the surrounding area, obviously someone often stepped in and out, which caused him to be even more suspicious. He searched up and down, left and right, in front of the palace and behind the backyard, but he could not find any other clues.

He was disappointed in his heart and was about to leave, when he heard two "clicks" in the main hall. He hurriedly rushed into the hall and saw that the stone slab pressed under the Fang Ding copper incense burner was raised slightly. He was taken aback in his heart, and hurriedly turned out the water moon lantern, but there was no hiding place in the temple. When he was anxious, he looked up and saw the beam on the top of the temple, so he flew up to the pillar of the temple, ran up the beam several times, lay prone on the beam, held his breath without saying a word, and looked down.

I saw that the slate was pushed up from the bottom to the top, and there was a big hole under the slate, and the one holding the slate was a pair of big hands like a fan. This Fang Ding copper furnace is said to have five or six hundred catties, and the stone slab below is also two or three hundred catties.

Fang Ding's incense burner was raised high by these big hands, and from the big hole under the stone slab, a big black man with long hair came out. Looking through the moonlight, I saw that this person was eight feet tall, wearing a wide coarse cloth shirt, broad shoulders and thick back, waist like a water tank, a fan in his hand, feet like a dustpan, his face was dark, his hair was upside down, his eyes were like copper bells, and his mouth was like a blood basin. Just one point, she didn't need a bulge on her face, but she was a woman.

The moonlight shone on her messy hair, and Han Da'er caught a glimpse of her left ear missing, and her right ear was intact, but she was carrying a dark green drop-shaped earring, which was obviously the jewelry inlaid with the horns that the blue half-foot said.

At this time, a cricket jumped out of nowhere, Han Daring was holding his breath and looking down, this cricket jumped on Han Daring'er's head impartially. Han Daring is not afraid of heaven and earth, it is a diaphragm bug, especially if there are legs that can jump, usually when he sees a stove horse at home, he will avoid it from a distance and shoot it to death with something.

At this time, the cricket jumped on his head, and he responded with a diaphragm in his heart, and quickly shook his head and threw the cricket down, but at this slight movement, the roof of the temple made a soft sound, although the sound was very small, but in the silence of the night, it was very clear.

When he heard this, he immediately looked around in alarm. The roof of this hall is not high, and the beams and pillars are narrow, if she looks up, she can see at a glance that there is a person lying on the beam. If you are afraid of something, you will look around vigorously and see no human figure, so you have to look up.
