Back mountain woods.

Luo Qingfeng and Ah Ya finally climbed up after a lot of effort.

The Big Buddha Temple in front of you is close at hand.

Luo Qingfeng stopped in the woods and analyzed the girl beside him.

"Since it's a task for the junior team, the demons in the temple shouldn't be too powerful. There are no monks in the temple to deal with, obviously, those monks may not be cultivators......"

"If you are not a cultivator, demons are easy to invade, even if you are a monk with a pure heart and few desires. After all, some time ago, the demon master only appeared nearby, so every monk in this temple, including the abbot, may be a demon. ”

"In that case, we won't be able to startle the snake."

"They thought that the people from the Demon Suppression Courtyard would only come in two days, so they should be defenseless today."

"We'll go over the wall and go in later, and we'll quietly observe inside."

"If I find out, I'll take out the nameplate of the Demon Suppression Courtyard again, but you must not take off the mask, so that the other party can't see our appearance......"

Luo Qingfeng said, and Aya nodded blankly.

Every time she said a word, she clicked.

After finishing speaking, Luo Qingfeng subconsciously made an "OK" gesture, and seeing that the little girl was a little confused, he hurriedly said: "It's okay or ask you how you are, do you understand?" ”

"Let's go."

Luo Qingfeng walked in front.

Aya followed, thought about it, and quietly learned the gesture he had just made, bent his index finger and thumb into contact, and made a blank "OK" gesture.

Luo Qingfeng looked at the six roads, listened to all directions, and quickly approached the fence in the backyard.

Then stick it on the wall and listen to the movement inside.

His hearing has become more acute now with the promotion of cultivation.

A moment later.

He turned his head, ready to signal to the girl behind him that he could climb over the wall.

But suddenly there was no one behind him.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly noticed that a slender and petite figure appeared at the back door not far away.

Raven pushed open the back door and walked straight in, then poked his head out of the door, looking at him with a pair of dark and smart eyes, and motioned for him to follow.

Luo Qingfeng: "......"

In the dilapidated Big Buddha Temple, there are not many monks left.

At this time, it is the time when the pilgrims come to offer incense, and the monks in the temple should have already gone to the front yard, so the back door is unguarded.

Luo Qingfeng entered the back door and saw that the backyard was empty, only a few sparrows bouncing on the ground, looking at them curiously.

"Actually, I've heard that there is no one here, but we sneak in, we have to sneak in, you see those thieves stealing things, aren't they all over the wall? Right? ”

Luo Qingfeng said to the girl beside him seriously.

Raven nodded dumbly.

Luo Qingfeng ignored her, walked in front, and walked towards the front yard.

I didn't even meet any monks along the way.

When I was about to reach the front yard, I suddenly heard the sound of a wooden fish tapping, and then the sound of chanting a sutra sounded.

It turned out that all the monks had gathered in the main hall in front of them and were chanting sutras for the pilgrims.

Luo Qingfeng put his mind at ease, first took Ah Crow around the entire temple, and found no clues, then took off his mask, entered the front yard, mixed behind a group of pilgrims, and carefully observed the monks sitting in the main hall, but still did not find anything abnormal.

"Let's go, let's go to the backyard and wait."

The two didn't stay long, and immediately put on their masks again and went to the backyard.

Since this temple asked the Demon Suppression Institute to help get rid of the demon, something terrible must have happened, they don't know anything now, there are no clues, it must be difficult to find the demon.

So, they need to observe the monks in the shadows first.

It's almost noon.

After the tourists leave, the monks should all go to the backyard to eat.

When the time comes, observe their behavior first, and if there is no clue, then you can only go to the abbot and ask what has happened recently, and then make a plan.

Come to the backyard.

Luo Qingfeng looked around again, especially where the monks slept.

As he was taking a closer look at his room, he suddenly heard a dog barking outside.

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly walked out and saw that Ah Ya was running back from the vegetable garden behind him with a frightened face.

"What's wrong?"

Raven pointed to the vegetable garden behind her.

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly walked over, pushed open the wooden door, and found a big wolf dog tethered in the vegetable garden, baring his fangs at this time, barking at the two of them.

When the two of them came to check for the first time, the big wolf dog was still sleeping in the shed, and he didn't find them, but now he should have woken up and heard movement.

"Did you notice something wrong?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at the girl behind him and asked.

Raven shook her head.

Just now she had just come to push the wooden door, and the big wolf dog suddenly woke up, startling her.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the vegetable garden again and closed the wooden door.

After the big wolf dog barked a few more times, Fang stopped whimpering.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps and voices in front of me.

Luo Qingfeng immediately took A Crow and hid in the meditation room next to him, and looked carefully through the gap in the window.

Two monks entered through the round door and went straight to the kitchen.

Then several more monks came.

Another moment passed.

Several monks, surrounded by an old monk in a robe, walked in through the round door and walked straight towards the meditation room.

That old monk was Master Yunhai, the abbot of the Big Buddha Temple.

Luo Qingfeng immediately took Aya to hide behind the Buddha statue.

The door opened.

Yun Hai walked into the meditation room and said to several monks behind him: "You go to eat first, and you have to go to the front in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, Master."

Several young monks left.

Yunguan opened the door, came to the front of the Buddha statue, sat down on the futon, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and began to knock on the wooden fish while reciting the scriptures in his mouth.

It lasted half an hour.

By this time, it had fallen silent outside, and the monks seemed to have left.

Luo Qingfeng observed carefully for a long time, but did not find anything abnormal, gave Aya a look, and then walked out directly from behind the Buddha statue.

Yunhai heard the movement, opened his eyes, and was obviously frightened, but immediately calmed down again, put down the wooden fish, and folded his hands: "Amitabha, where did the donor come from?" What is it? If it's for money, it's in the wrong place. ”

Luo Qingfeng was wearing a black power suit, wearing a mask on his face, and looked like a bad guy.

He directly took out the nameplate of the Demon Suppression Courtyard from his body, and said: "The abbot misunderstood, the junior is a demon exterminator sent by the Demon Suppression Academy, because he was afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so he didn't notify the abbot in advance and came in directly." If you disturb the abbot, please forgive your sin. ”

As soon as Yun Hai saw the nameplate, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands in front of his chest, bowed his head and said: "Amitabha, it turned out to be an adult from the Demon Suppression Academy, disrespectful, disrespectful." The old monk's eyes were cloudy, he had misunderstood the adult, and he hoped to forgive his sins. ”

Luo Qingfeng put away the nameplate and said, "Don't blame the abbot, it's the juniors who appeared too suddenly." The younger generation wears a mask, also for the sake of safety, and I hope the abbot will not be surprised. By the way, can the abbot elaborate on what happened to your temple recently? ”

When Yun Hai saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, stretched out his hand and said, "My lord, sit down first, and listen to the old monk speak slowly." ”

Luo Qingfeng thanked him and sat down on the futon opposite.

Yunhai also sat back on the futon, sighed again, and began to speak.

"About a month ago, a pilgrim suddenly disappeared in the temple, and the other party's family came to look for it, and the old monk also mobilized the whole temple to search, but he did not find it. Everyone thought that the man had left the temple and disappeared in the mountains or forests or somewhere else, and the old monk didn't take it seriously......"

"Who knew that half a month ago, suddenly another family came to the temple to look for someone, saying that a family member of the other party came to the temple to worship the Buddha and did not return for a day and a night. The old monk once again dispatched the monks of the whole temple to search, in addition to the temple, and went to find the surrounding mountains and forests, but still did not find it. The government also sent people to look for it, but still nothing was found. ”

"Then seven days ago, another pilgrim disappeared......"

"The old monk felt that something was wrong, and the government also noticed it, and then sent more people to investigate, and finally found a corpse in a dry well in our backyard."

"The body has long since decomposed, but strangely, after identification, it is not the three pilgrims who disappeared before......"

"I checked it carefully and told us that it might be a demon, and asked us to ask for help from your hospital, so the old monk immediately sent someone to ask for help from your hospital to help get rid of the demon......"

"Hey, because of this incident, there are fewer and fewer pilgrims coming to the mountain, and during this time, the monks in the temple are also frightened, and they have secretly run away for five ......"

After listening to this, Luo Qingfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask the abbot, who are the three missing pilgrims?" How old? Is it male or female? What are the similarities? ”

Yun Hai bowed his head and replied: "There are rich daughters, and there are ordinary peasant women, all of whom are in their twenties and thirties, and if you want to say the same, they are all women, and they are all women who have already married." ”

"All women?"

Luo Qingfeng frowned, and asked again: "The corpse fished out of the dry well is also a woman's corpse?" ”

Yunhai sighed and said, "Yes." The government quickly suspected that there were lewd thieves hidden in my temple, and the investigation lasted for a long time, but there was no result. In the end, they suspected that it was the Demon Queen, and they stopped caring about it. ”

Luo Qingfeng asked again: "Have the five monks who secretly escaped investigated?" ”

Yun Hai nodded slightly: "The government has investigated, in fact, it is just to ask and check, and it has not been brought back for interrogation." In fact, the old monk also suspected that the murderer might have fled, after all, he had already alarmed the government and the Demon Suppression Academy. ”

Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "If you really escape, it will be difficult......

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

A young monk suddenly pushed open the door and said with a panicked face, "Abbot! Oh no! Another pilgrim said that his lady was missing! His lady had just gone to the thatched house, and suddenly disappeared! ”
