214 incense case(5)
Yeats woke up with a dizzy head, rubbed her temples for a while before she eased up, and when she put down her sore arms, she suddenly realized that she was not tied up, and opened her eyes with a sigh.
In the dimness, she sat up and found that it was a small room, and in addition to the bed under her, there was a simple little table with two stools on the side of it.
There was also a basin rack near the door, on which a small wooden basin was placed, Yeats walked over and found that there was water in it, which was clear and should not have been used, and he also ripped off the towel at the top of the shelf, lowered his head and washed his face, and washed himself completely refreshing and sober.
But what is this place? Yeats walked behind the door and reached out to pull it, but the outside was locked and she couldn't open it.
She was taken captive, living in a single room, not tied up, was she taken captive by the man in black? If so, who instructed him, and if not, then who took her captive?
Temples?
Yeats sat on the edge of the bed and began to sort out the situation before the captivity?
She came to the small temple to offer incense, all because of Brother Teng's wife, could it be that she was calculated? And who is the one who calculates her?
Fingers tapped on the door of her head, and Yeats thought of the man standing on the top of the hill and watching the scenery, and now that she thought about it, the gesture of that person seemed to remind her to leave.
Why remind her to leave? Was he a nearby villager, or someone, and why did he know she was in danger?
The temple, for ordinary people, is solemn, it is a fairy and bodhisattva, and it is a place to cross people from suffering and lead people to a place of happiness.
But for Yeats, only the temples that really cross people's suffering are the places where people hide from suffering, and they are the sustenance of the faith of the general public, but there are always some temples that do things that hurt nature and reason under the banner of crossing people's suffering.
Yeats knocked on the door again, and the moment she was stunned by the fog, she didn't believe that the man in black could move so fast and capture her without a trace in such a short time.
The reminder of the young man under the hillside is no accident, if not, then this small temple......
Just as Yeats was pondering, the door of the small room was opened, and a middle-aged woman in thick clothes came in, who twisted her thin waist like a water snake, and twisted the demon in front of Yeats.
"Yo, the goods are really good this time!"
A middle-aged bald uncle came from behind the middle-aged bewitching goods and stepped forward, "Hei San is right, it is really a first-class goods, and this outfit is also special, if it is reversed, it will definitely become the top brand of Hongluo City." ”
"That's right."
Red Luo City? What is this place?
When Zhao Qi'an arrived at Beimang Temple, it was almost Ye Wu, Pei Jingning had already asked Zhang Jin to turn the small temple upside down with the people of the Soldiers and Horses, and the clever mechanism of the hole under the futon seat of the Daxiong Treasure Hall had also been opened by the capable people he had found.
All the monks and miscellaneous servants in Beimang Temple have been tied up in the firewood room by Pei Jingning, and they have already been interrogated for a round.
"How?" he asked. ”
Pei Jingning was in a very bad mood, standing in front of the statue of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, as if these immortals wanted to ask him.
Bai Lang replied on behalf of his master, "The hole in the ground is broken when it reaches a brook." ”
"Did you have someone search along the creek?"
Bai Lang nodded, "It's already arranged." ”
Zhao Qi'an continued to ask, "Has the monk been recruited?" ”
"The host didn't say anything, and the other little Luo Luo didn't know that there was a hole in the ground under the futon seat."
Zhao Qi'an also stood in front of the futon and stared at the futon: "What should I do next?" ”
Pei Jingning raised his eyes, his eyes were cold, like a cheetah waiting to be hunted in the forest, and he said, "You can find out everything about the old bald donkey in the afternoon." ”
Zhao Qi'an reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay." ”
Teng Chong took Yang Fuquan to search the temple within a radius of ten miles and entered the nearest small village.
There was a tall black and thin young man in the village, he was carrying two large bundles of firewood on his shoulders, and when he saw the government enter the village, he nervously avoided the side, and when the last official was about to run away, he grabbed the person and asked, "Lord Guancha, what are you ......?"
Teng Chong heard the question from behind, stopped his steps, and turned to the back of the line, "What are you doing?" ”
The tall black thin young man bared his teeth and smiled, "My lord, I am a firewood collector, may I ask who you are ......?"
"Have you ever seen a young man of average height, thin and fair?"
"My lord, do you mean someone who looks like a woman but wears a man's clothes?"
As soon as he heard this, Teng Chong almost screamed with joy, desperately suppressed his excitement, and asked calmly, "Have you seen her?" Where is it? ”
The tall and thin black man bared his teeth and smiled again, "Yesterday afternoon, I went to the temple ......"
As soon as he heard that yesterday afternoon, Teng Chong's heart almost flew to the bottom in an instant, but he had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, his face did not change, and he calmly listened to the black, thin and tall young man continue.
"At the foot of the mountain to collect firewood, when I looked up, I saw a boy and a girl on the top of the hill, and waved her hand to remind her that Shanmang Temple eats beautiful people, whether it is a little lady or a handsome Xiaolang, as long as you go to burn incense and worship the Buddha, a burst of fairy mist comes, and the person is gone."
Fairy mist? Could it be the fog that stunned Yeats and Yang Fuquan?
Yang Fuquan shouted at the black, thin and tall young man, "Where is Brother Ye?" Where is Brother Ye? ”
Obviously, the dark, thin and tall young man has already made it clear that it was yesterday, but this kid still doesn't give up and goes crazy.
Teng Chong pulled the person aside and asked puzzledly, "What did you say?" What to eat? ”
"Eat the young lady, Xiao Langjun!" The tall and thin black man said: "In the past two years, everything in our village that is beautiful has been eaten by the gods, and we have never seen it again. ”
"Why don't you go to the yamen to report the case?"
"The monks on the mountain told the villagers that their children had been taken by the gods to enjoy their blessings, and that they should not disturb them at will." The tall black and thin young man shook his head and sighed, "They believe it, I don't believe it, I think there are ghosts in the temple on the mountain, and I don't know where to get the little lady and Xiao Langjun to pickle the matter." ”
As a perennial front-line worker, Teng Zhutou certainly understood the little boy's grievances.
"Someone in your family was eaten by a 'fairy'?"
The tall and black thin young man said with a sad face: "Two years ago, my sister entered the temple to burn incense and disappeared, and the little sister who went with her, no one saw how she was eaten by the gods, and in a foggy moment, my sister evaporated as if the world had evaporated, and she was never found again." ”
"How old is your sister?"
"Twelve."
Teng Chong continued to ask, "How many times was your sister 'eaten'?" ”
"About the second or third," said the tall, dark man, "I don't remember, but in the last two years I have heard six or seven. ”
Teng Chong looked at him on the shoulder, "Young man, send Chai He home, then go to the small mountain temple, find a catcher named Zhang Jin, and then tell him everything you have encountered about the mountain temple, and after you have talked about it, he will let you do it." ”
"Oh." The tall black thin young man scratched his head, "Then ...... you now"
Teng Chong waved his hand, "When you get to the small mountain temple, you will naturally know." ”
