Chapter 30: The Lord of Qu City tells the reason

Overnight, the news that everyone from the shopkeeper to the men were killed quickly spread in Fengling City. For a time, there was an ominous aura everywhere in Fengling City.

Canggu, who lived in the Lingxi Inn, heard the news, and when he saw Taihao, he was shocked and said: "It seems that the matter of this Fengling City is really incredible!" ”

Daxi, who was standing next to Tai Hao, said softly: "Could it be that what the two drinkers in the wine shop said yesterday is true, saying that the cat god statue in the cat temple has spoken, and ordinary people will die within three days, and sure enough, there are really ordinary people who have died, and eight ...... at a time"

When Tai Hao heard this, he was a little unhappy and said: "Don't believe these ghosts and gods, there must be tricks in this!" ”

When Daxi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "You mean to say that this thing was not done by the cat god, but by the people in the city?" ”

Cang Gu nodded, "It seems that we have to be more careful here." ”

Onishi echoed: "Lord Canggu is right, if that's the case, are we going to get out of here as soon as possible?" ”

Taihao sighed and said, "It's too late to leave at this time...... If we leave now, the officials of Fengling City will definitely blame us for this matter. Eight people died at one time, and the cat god should no longer be blamed. If we were gone, they would think we were fleeing from sin. ”

Onishi nodded and said, "That's what I said!" So what now? Do you have to wait until the real culprit is found out before leaving? ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment and said, "I have already asked Gu Sheng to go and report to the official, and I will talk about it after the officials from Fengling City come." ”

After a long time, Gu Sheng accompanied the city lord of Fengling City and the general who defended the city to the inn. Tai Hao arched his hand forward and said: "In the next Tai Hao, take all the entourage to Pinghe City to take up the post of deputy general of the city, yesterday passed by this place to live in the store, I wanted to start today, continue to move forward, but I didn't expect that there was a murder in the inn last night......"

The city lord of Fengling City bowed his hand and saluted back: "Oh...... Lord Taihao, this official is Qu Quan, the city lord of Fengling City, and this is Wanhua, the general who guards the city. Wanhua next to him stepped forward to Taihao, and Taihao also returned the salute.

The city lord of Qu Quan continued: "I really didn't expect the cat god to really manifest and take revenge on the ordinary people of Fengling City many times in a row. ”

Tai Hao was puzzled: "Yesterday, when we were drinking in the wine shop, we met two drinkers talking about something, the cat god in the cat temple spoke, may I ask Lord Qu Quan, what is going on?" ”

Qu Quan sighed and explained to Tai Hao: "This is the third time, every time the cat god statue in the cat god temple speaks, there will be people killed in Fengling City within three days. One day half a month ago, when the people in the city were burning incense and praying in the cat temple, the cat god statue suddenly spoke, but it was only a 'uh-huh-ah' voice, and no one could understand it. One night after that day, the steward of the 'People's Academy' was killed outside the academy gate. Only seven days later, the cat god spoke again, and that night, the lieutenant general of Fengling City fell directly from the castle tower and was killed on the spot. Just the day before yesterday, the cat god statue spoke for the third time, but I didn't expect that this time it was the turn of Fengxi Inn......" After speaking, he began to sigh again.

Wan Hua, the general of Fengling City next to him, also sighed and said, "Although it is said that the cat god appeared to take revenge, I think there must be an ulterior conspiracy here......

Taihao has never believed in any ghosts and gods, since the people who died this time are in the inn where he lives, then he must investigate clearly. Tai Hao asked: "The city lord of Qu Quan and Lord Wanhua both said that the cat god appeared to take revenge on the people of Fengling City, why did they say that they were revenge, and what happened before this?" ”

Qu Quan sighed and said, "This matter...... Alas, in fact, it is also a small matter, but now it seems to be a big thing. A month ago, a homeless man came to Fengling City, he was ragged and unkempt. You said that where he lived was not good, he had to live in the cat temple, and was driven out by the people who went to the cat temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, but he still secretly lived in the cat temple and ate the offerings that the people offered to the cat god every day. Let the homeless man eat it, what else does the cat god eat? Because of this, the people of our Fengling City offended the cat god, although we drove the homeless man away, but the cat god still appeared, and punished us again and again, alas, sins! ”

When Onishi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "Why does this sound so evil, just because he ate the offerings of the cat god, the cat god is hungry, and then the cat god wants to take revenge on the ordinary people?" ”

Cang Gu listened to it and felt incredible, but he didn't believe in the cat god's apparition. said: "I don't believe in the manifestation of the cat god, Lord Qu Quan has investigated the truth, I dare to say that it was not the cat god who killed these people, maybe he offended someone, and was killed by the enemy in the name of the cat god." ”

Taihao listened, and thought to himself: "Lord Canggu is so bold, I want to check to see if it is really a cat god, or if someone killed these people in the name of a cat god." ”

When Taihao was thinking about it, Canggu said, "Maybe it's the messenger of the cat god who sent someone to kill these people!" ”

Qu Quan listened to it and said in surprise: "You can't say this casually, I don't know what ...... is under your feet."

Canggu arched his hand and said: "The next name is Canggu, and he is the deputy general who passed by here and went to Luyang City to take office. ”

Qu Quan bowed his hand and saluted: "It turned out to be Lord Canggu, I don't know why you concluded that it was the other people of Fengling City who killed these people, not the cat god?" ”

In Taihao's heart, he always thought that the people in the city did it, so he hugged his fists and said to Qu Quan: "Could it be that Lord Qu Quan believes in the theory of ghosts and gods?" ”

Qu Quanzheng replied with a stern face: "There are cow ghosts and snake gods in this world, and our cat clan is still like this, for many years, we have been believing in the cat god, because of the blessing of the cat god, the people in Fengling City are happy and peaceful." ”

Tai Hao couldn't help but feel ridiculous when he heard Qu Quancheng Lord say that he actually believed that there were ghosts and gods in this world. But he concluded that it was not the work of the ghosts, and that he wanted to know the truth, so he decided to investigate it himself. So he arched his hand and asked Qu Quan: "Lord Qu Quan, dare to ask where the cat temple in Fengling City is, can you ask the city lord to take us there?" ”

Qu Quan listened, and bowed back: "Of course, the Cat Temple in Fengling City is in the center of Fengling City, then Lord Taihao and Lord Canggu, we will go to the Cat Temple now." ”

"Okay, then I'll bother Master Qu Quan to take us there." Canggu bowed his hand and saluted back.

All the people of Fengling City knew that Qu Quan, the lord of Fengling City, was a theist, and the cat temple in Fengling City was the sacred place of Fengling City, and along the way, they saw that many people were on the way to the cat temple, all holding offerings in their hands.

After walking for a short time, they arrived at the cat temple, walked into the temple gate, crossed the threshold and entered the temple, and erected a one-foot high stone statue of the cat god Best in the center of the temple, Best is a cat goddess, this stone statue is carved lifelike. The roof of the temple is covered with glazed gold, and the four walls of the temple are painted with murals of the cat god Pudu people. Qu Quan, the city lord of Fengling City, led all his entourage to bow three times in front of the cat god statue, and Taihao and Canggu also bowed in front of the cat god statue to show respect.
