Chapter 73 Methods
The Stone Buddha Temple is located in the south of the city of Yumen County, originally abandoned for many years, until the "Ten Thousand Families of Buddha" Chai Yu Palace became famous and bought here, only to regain its vitality, and now it has become a famous "Poor Zen Temple" in the city.
In addition to regular soup kitchens, the rooms in the courtyard also provide a place for some homeless people to settle down for free...... Of course, identification will be done to prevent people who do not meet the requirements from entering.
At this time, Zhao Chen, who had just walked into the street where the "Stone Buddha Temple" was located, saw a long queue coming over, people were crowded, and after a rough count, there were more than a hundred.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen was a little surprised, because according to his understanding during this time, the price of sweet potato rice provided by the imperial court was quite low, and it was even allowed to pay on credit first, and if he couldn't afford it, he would be dragged to work forcefully...... But if you are willing to work hard, you will not really starve, at most you will not have enough to eat.
And the faces of the people queuing here are not numb and desperate at all, but they are all looking forward to it, all looking forward to it.
Just when he was puzzled, the crowd suddenly stirred, and an alluring fragrance also came to his nose and penetrated into his heart...... It turned out that the gate of the "Stone Buddha Temple" was opened, and the soup kitchen officially began.
"This taste...... Porridge with meat? Zhao Chen's face became strange, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he felt that the Chai family's operation was unexpected.
He quickly put the matter behind him and turned his attention back to the paper crane in his hand, only to find that it could no longer guide the way on the wall on one side of the temple.
Obviously, the man must have flipped in from here.
And this process is not witnessed.
"As an enemy of the Chai family, he hid in the temple funded by the Chai family...... Is this playing with the lights to be dark? Zhao Chen glanced at the courtyard wall not far away, and was thinking about what to do next, but two figures quickly climbed over the wall and merged into the crowd.
They were the same two people who had followed the man all the way before.
Straight away? Did they come with them to determine their location and wait until the evening to move?
Well, they are most likely not from the Chai family...... Is there any other force that is eyeing this family? It's pretty popular, isn't it......
While his thoughts were turning, Zhao Chen did not enter the courtyard, but instead "visualized" the appearance of the two people just now, and wanted to use the "paper crane" to track them.
But soon, he discovers that the spell has not succeeded.
"I'm afraid that those two people also have a similar effect to 'Toad Light', and ordinary people can't notice them, so 'Paper Crane' can't get feedback......
"And I can see them because I have 'spiritual sense.'"
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen set his eyes on the courtyard wall, thinking about whether to go and give the family a wake-up call, but in the end he gave up.
I don't know that family, it is difficult to gain the trust of the other party, it is better to go back and let Fei Meng contact her, she and the pair of sisters and brothers have the same disease, and it is easier to resonate.
Moreover, for some reason, this temple gave Zhao Chen a very bad feeling, and he was not willing to set foot in it easily.
Collecting information about the Chai family doesn't necessarily have to start with this family, and when Sister Hongxia wakes up, wouldn't it be more efficient to let her do it? There's no need to set up a frame for strangers.
However, I did wonder about the identities of the two people who were following me......
After thinking about it, Zhao Chen finally decided to discuss it with Qi Feimeng, after all, the other party had experienced many "historical fog" scenes, and his experience in the rivers and lakes was much stronger than his own.
……
"Stone Buddha Temple", in a cramped room.
As soon as Wang Zhen, who returned from going out, locked the door, a girl who deliberately wiped her face dirty took the initiative to greet her and asked anxiously:
"Uncle, how's it going?"
Wang Zhen shook his head gloomily, sighed and said, "Yan Nuxia still hasn't come back......"
As soon as they entered the city a few days ago, they planned to go to Yan Hongxia, who had a grudge against Chai Yu Palace, but unfortunately the other party went out on business and did not come back.
"What about the other relatives and friends of my father's mother?" The girl asked.
"Same as before...... As soon as they saw me, they closed the door...... Heh, if I hadn't heard that Chai Yugong was injured, I think they would probably sell me directly. Wang Zhen replied helplessly.
"How so!" There was a hint of despair on the girl's face, "If it goes on like this, the second uncle will ...... him"
Her second uncle, Wang Lie, disappeared while going out two days ago and was suspected to have been abducted by the Chai family.
"Jin'er, don't worry...... Before catching you and Xiao Qin, the Chai family shouldn't have done anything to your second uncle. After Wang Zhen patted his niece's head, he looked left and right, and deliberately changed the topic, "What about Xiaoqin?" ”
"My brother fell asleep after eating the porridge from the temple." The girl Zhao Jin pointed to the space cut off by the curtain.
Wang Zhen frowned and said, "Try not to eat the things of the Chai family, uncle, I brought you something to eat." ”
"I know, I won't eat a grain of rice from the Chai family if I die!" Zhao Jin first nodded firmly, then his tone slowed down, and he defended his younger brother, "But my younger brother was really hungry just now......
"Don't take it as an example! You are at a critical time when you are 'building the foundation', and you should be especially careful with the food you eat.
"Anything else is good to say, don't touch the government's 'sweet potato rice'! After eating sweet potato rice, I will no longer have a chance to practice, you know? Wang Zhen said solemnly.
"Yes, uncle!" The girl replied solemnly.
Wang Zhen saw that she really listened, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's do this today...... I'm going to go to the Golden Dart Martial Arts Pavilion tomorrow, and I heard that the second son of the Bingquan Zhao family lives there now.
"And although your family and the Bingquan Zhao family have already produced five suits, they are the same ancestor after all, five hundred years ago was a year, maybe you can ask them to help find out the news of your second uncle......
The girl only gave a perfunctory "um", but she didn't have much hope for it.
His close relatives now avoid him, let alone such distant relatives who have not been in touch for hundreds of years.
The two were silent for a long time, but no one noticed that Zhao Qin, a young man separated by a curtain, suddenly sat up at this time, and made many extremely difficult movements silently.
……
Outside the Jade Gate, at the foot of the mountain, in the hidden space under the base of the statue of the goddess of light.
After Zhao Chen, who rushed all the way here, told Qi Feimeng who was sitting on the bed about his previous discovery in detail, the latter said with a smile after a little thought:
"I don't want to take risks, I want to save the lives of that family, and I want to figure out who is thinking about them?
"It's actually easy to do!"
"How?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.
Dressed in white and with a detached temperament, Miss Qi played with the tips of the hair hanging down on her chest, covered her mouth and smiled:
"Just report to the official directly, and let the 'Taoist official' or the 'Li family' deal with it!
"Of course, the premise is that it has to be taken seriously."
