Chapter 69: Stone Statues

Li Huaiyun pointed at the middle-aged woman and said solemnly, "This aunt, I hope every word of your words is true, so that we can continue to investigate this case, this is related to human life, and there is no room for falsehood, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" ”

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she was a little anxious, for fear that she had said the wrong thing, "Oh, I just heard from others!" I don't know anything! ”

"Auntie! You have collected the money! ”

"That's why I took so much money from you! I'm responsible for being wrong! ”

"If you accept it, you will accept it, there is no way to reverse it," Li Huaiyun frowned and asked again, "Are you sure, that widow Sun is dead?" ”

"I also heard that they went to the widow's house and sealed the well!"

"But we just met that Sun last night!"

When the middle-aged woman heard this, she looked at him with a horrified expression, "You... Hell you guys! ”

"Why didn't anyone report it?"

"The steward said that everything here must be prayed to the gods, and they don't believe in the government!"

Li Huaiyun cut off, "They are completely trying to cover up their crimes!" ”

The middle-aged woman suddenly covered her mouth, "Sure enough, that rumor is true." ”

"Ahh What rumors? ”

"In the past half a month, people often saw the ghost of Widow Sun in the alley at night, and asked for her life from those who forced her to throw herself into the well! And since her death, there have often been inexplicable disappearances in this area, and no one dares to report the crime! ”

"It's terrible that so many rituals have been done in the temple these days, and it's useless."

Li Huai turned his head and looked at the little disciple, "In the past half a month, there have been a lot of Dharma events in the temple?" You don't know? ”

The little disciple said, "I know, but when I asked the master, he said that it was for the birth of the gods that he had done so many rituals. ”

"Several times I went out in the middle of the night to do business, and I didn't take it with me!"

Li Huaiyun analyzed, "It seems obvious that after the Sun family committed suicide by throwing himself into the well, your master went to her home in order to hide people's eyes and ears and sealed the well with a dao talisman. ”

"Those who persecuted the Sun family, because they were afraid of being haunted by powerful ghosts, let your master do a lot of things, the purpose is to make themselves feel at ease."

"Look at the iniquity you have made!"

The little disciple was said to be ashamed, and he had actually done things that were sorry for the Sun family.

The wooden kite asked with a little curiosity, "What's the matter with the severed head meal in the housekeeper's house?" ”

"There must be someone in this group who is proficient in a special Dao method."

"You're referring to the Daomen Yin Technique!" Wooden Kite said.

"And what about the ghost she was talking about?"

"I don't know! Maybe we'll know when we meet again," Li Huaiyun looked at the middle-aged woman, "That's right! Auntie, who did you listen to that rumor you said! ”

When the middle-aged woman heard their words, her face was already pale, and she waved her hand desperately, and then shouted loudly, "I don't know! I do not know! ”

She shuddered and closed the door.

Before Li Huaiyun finished asking, the other party was so frightened that he avoided talking directly, and he knocked on the door vigorously, "Who told you that?" ”

There was no movement in the room.

The kite asked, "What about next?" ”

Li Huaiyun looked at the little disciple and pointed at him, "There should be a record of the money donated by those people in the housekeeper's house, just find out those people." ”

"Although you don't know them, you should have seen them, and it's up to you to find out these people."

The little disciple was still a little hesitant, "But the master doesn't allow me... ”

"Forget your master!" Li Huaiyun admonished, "He must have been killed, what else are you afraid of, now everything can only be done on your own." ”

"Oh!" The little disciple replied expressionlessly, and then faced everyone, from now on, I really can only rely on myself!

"Who's that woman we saw last night?" The wooden kite pursed her lips, she couldn't understand, how could a living person last night have been dead for half a month?

"I've also been in contact with that woman, it's no problem at all, it's a real person." Mu Kite said with some puzzlement, "Could it be that this aunt herself remembered wrongly, or she remembered that the woman was not dead at all?" ”

"According to what the steward did, that widow of the Sun family should be dead! As for the person we saw last night, it must be some kind of Taoist technique that we haven't seen before. ”

Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite asked several families nearby, and they were all silent about this matter, except for shaking their heads, they had no other meaning to express.

It's just that there are different versions of Sun's death, some say he died, and some say that he saw the widow on the street a few days ago.

They all have the same opinion, that this woman's current situation is completely self-inflicted, and that this woman is inappropriate in many ways, and has been snubbed by everyone again.

And serving the gods is also a manifestation of one's own atonement.

Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite stood on the side of the street, still quite angry at what these people had done.

Mu Kite said in an angry tone, "If you want me to say that everyone here is the murderer of the widow," she glanced at the little disciple behind her, "That temple of yours is really harmful, and a good woman should be ruined like this by you." ”

The little disciple lowered his head, "This is the master's idea, and we don't want to, there was a person who gave a lot of incense money before, so he wanted that Sun by name." ”

"The master thinks that there is too much money for incense, and he can't take it steadily, so he thinks of this way!"

The wooden kite clenched his fists, "So you all deserve to die." ”

"Don't convict them here, let's go to the steward's house and bring the list over, and look for them one by one, we will definitely find some clues."

They returned to the steward's house and searched for a long time before they found the list of people who had contributed incense.

They took a moment to look for the people on it, according to the incense list, only to find that they were all missing.

And the time of disappearance was also after Sun threw himself into the well.

Li Huaiyun clenched the paper in his hand, "This is definitely not a coincidence!" ”

Mu Kite thought for a moment, "No wonder that temple has to do so many rituals, it seems that they know that this disappearance case is related to Sun's death!" ”

"Yes, it seems that those people who have been drained of their essence in the past two days are also the same reason!"

The little disciple was a little puzzled by this, "Why is it so accurate!" ”

Mu Kite sneered, "Probably these people are all the same character, lustful!" She glanced at the little disciple in a matter-of-fact manner, "Maybe you'll be next!" ”

The little disciple shrank up and smiled helplessly.

"Don't scare him!" Li Huaiyun said, he also looked at the little disciple, "What is there in the temple?" Look at the time you left just now, it was quite worrying! ”

"Nope! Nothing! It's just that so many guests come here and can make a lot of money, and I can't bear to pay for those incense. ”

Li Huaiyun showed a look of disdain on his face, "I can't imagine that it's like this now, what are you still protecting?" Do you think your master will come back to punish you? ”

"You should break this confinement, your master is not here, the heir of the temple, probably you! If you don't explain the matter, this temple will be demolished as a monster! You'll have nothing left. ”

As soon as the little disciple thought of this ending, he immediately informed Li Huaiyun of the matter, and he actually didn't know much.

"Have you been to the main hall?"

"I've been there, I've taken a look, I've come out, is there something wrong with the stone statue?"

"Yes!" The little disciple said, "There is a big problem, the master has been supplying that stone statue with human essence and blood!" ”

"What?" Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite said in unison, "It's crazy to supply blood to the stone statue." ”

"Do you know what that stone statue is for?"

"I don't know! The master only said that supplying human blood to this stone statue can bless us at a certain time. ”

Li Huaiyun was puzzled by this, "Supply essence blood to the stone statue, and then bless yourself, what is the reason?" ”

He felt that he had run into some cult again, "That stone statue is a vampire?" ”

The little disciple also shook his head directly, not knowing what he meant.

Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite returned to the temple again, wanting to see the stone statue again, but before that, they hadn't paid much attention to the stone statue.

At this time, there were only a few believers in the temple, who were burning things and kneeling in the main hall.

"We really don't have to go outside and look for this steward, maybe we can find the body." ”。

Li Huaiyun pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think it's necessary, the body of this steward should be in the temple!" ”

The wooden kite glanced at him, "How do you judge this, the body of the steward will be in this temple." ”

"Because since the stone statue is feeding people's essence and blood, then the steward who has been placed in the soul breaking meal must also be here."

Li Huaiyun said, "Do you still remember the voice that suddenly came from us last night when we left?" ”

"I heard you!"

"I think this sound must have come from the stone statue here!" Li Huaiyun walked inside, he stood on the incense burner in the middle of the courtyard, "At first, I thought it was strange, why did the place where the steward lived, why did there smell of spices,"

He picked up an incense stick from the censer, "That's the scent in the house." ”

The wooden kite didn't understand his words, "What does that mean?" He's the steward here, isn't it normal to bring two sticks of incense back? ”

Li Huaiyun walked towards the main hall of the temple, "Of course this is normal, but what is not normal is this!" ”

Mu Kite followed behind, puzzled, thinking what clues this old guy had found, she and Li Huaiyun saw the same, but she couldn't guess anything.

Li Huaiyun walked into the main hall and stared at the statue, "Where the steward lives, some soil ash appeared, at first I thought it was brought in from outside, but I was wrong, the soil ash is unique to this stone statue." ”

"The steward of this temple should be in the belly of the stone statue now!"

"Ahh The wooden kite looked solemn, what did this guy say? "Do you want to say that this statue ate the steward?"
