"What's the matter?"

Ye Caitang said: "My lord, do you remember the doll head we looked at at the merchant? ”

It is also made of bamboo, covered with paper, and the paper is painted with colors, making it look like a male doll and a female doll.

You can bring your child to play with on their head.

Xia Yue naturally remembered: "Very cute." ”

"No, it's not a cute question." Ye Caitang said: "I suddenly thought that in the case of Huguo Temple, until now, our biggest mystery is how the murderer took away the Buddha head of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. ”

"yes, what do you think of?"

Ye Caitang shook the dragon in his hand: "A clay sculpture of such a big Buddha head can't be made anyway, so let's change our thinking, how can we get it out?" ”

Xia Yue was stunned, and he also thought of the big doll heads of the merchants.

The idea is somewhat interesting, but also a little bizarre.

Xia Yue stopped and hesitated: "What do you mean, the Buddha head of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is not the original Buddha head for a long time?" ”

It sounds a bit fanciful, but it solves the problem perfectly.

"Ming Shi doesn't mean that the Daxiong Treasure Hall was repaired not long ago, and the Buddha statues are all recolored, and there are many people in and out of the temple in those months, and they are working all night, if someone has done something during this time, it may not be found."

Ye Caitang proposed a possibility, but Xia Yue still felt that how could this not be discovered.

"Although the temple is not wiped every day, it must be cleaned every once in a while." Xia Yue said.

"You said that the whole Buddha head has been changed a long time ago, let's just think that the other party will weave the bamboo strips into a head, and then paint the color, you can do it with the fake. It can only be seen from a distance, and when you wipe it with your hands, how can you not feel it at all, and the feeling is not the same. ”

That's a problem.

But as soon as Ye Caitang's thinking was opened, it was opened everywhere.

"What if the person in charge of wiping is the murderer?"

Xia Yue was speechless for a moment.

"You're right."

One of Xia Yue's great advantages is that he is very receptive to the opinions and suggestions of others, yes is right, not to mention what Ye Caitang said.

Ye Caitang said: "If this is the case, the merchant is very suspicious, and there is even a little explanation. Why didn't the deceased resist and struggle, and didn't make a single sound. ”

The business should be inside and outside, and Shang Changshan is their internal response, because it is their own person, so there is no suspicion or fright, and Shang Changshan even volunteered to die.

Last night's death may not have been killed by him at all, but by suicide.

It's just not known what they are going to exchange for at such a big price?

But the merchant's parents obviously didn't know about it, and the businessman's father was very sad to learn that his son was killed today, and it didn't look like a fraud.

"Let's go back to the temple first." Xia Yue quickened his pace: "If this is the case, at this time, we must communicate with Master Mingshi first." ”

At the age of Master Mingshi, he saw through the red dust, and probably couldn't imagine such twists and turns.

The two continued to ascend the mountain, but heard hurried footsteps from below.

The way for pilgrims to enter the mountain has been blocked, and the people who have been coming and going on the mountain for the past few days are all villagers who live nearby.

Soon the man came up the steps.

It was a young man who looked like a scholar in a long robe, and the young man was quite surprised to see them.

The young man was also in a hurry, hurriedly walking up, and after passing by the meeting between the two, he hesitated for a moment and stopped.

Xia Yue and Ye Caitang also stopped.

Xia Yue said: "Little brother, is there something wrong?" ”

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "The two are strangers, right?" ”

Locals and outsiders are easily recognizable, and they dress completely differently. Especially Xia Yue's clothes, although they are ordinary casual clothes, they are not something that the people in the mountains can wear.

Xia Yue nodded.

This young man should also be a local.

The young man said, "Are the two of you going to Huguo Temple?" ”

"Yes."

Xia Yue didn't know what he was going to say, and he didn't reveal his identity.

"The road outside is closed, I don't know where the two of you came in." The young man himself was puzzled, and then said: "It's not important, two, something strange has happened in Xiangluo Mountain these days, and the Huguo Temple has also been sealed in the past few days, if you come to play, it is best to go down the mountain as soon as possible at dawn, so as not to have an accident." ”

There are always some tourists who like to find a different path, where there is no way to go, where no one goes. Young people live here, and they are probably not surprised by people like Xia Yue who can come in even if the road is closed.

After the young man finished speaking, he was about to continue walking, and even had the feeling that he was in a hurry to run.

But when Xia Yue heard this, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Hey, little brother, you said something strange happened here, what's going on?"

The young man was stopped, although he was a little anxious, but he was still very polite, and explained: "I heard that the Huguo Temple is going to be expanded, but for some reason there are frequent bad omens, the temple has suffered a bloody disaster, and the villagers have also been affected. ”

The young man also said the words "bad omen" in his mouth, exactly the same as what Zhou Guanshan said.

Ye Caitang and Xia Yue were both interested.

Xia Yue said: "Little brother, I see that the mountains and rivers on this mountain are beautiful and the scenery is beautiful, how can there be a bad omen?" ”

"I don't know." The young man scratched his hair and said impatiently: "I also heard what others said, believe it or not, my friend is trapped, and I am in a hurry to go to the masters to help." ”

It will take half an hour to run up to the temple from here, Xia Yue said: "Where is your friend trapped." ”

The young man said helplessly: "Just over there, I was crushed by a big rock. I can't push it, it's really evil, and the big stone is usually stable, why did it suddenly roll down. ”

Xia Yue looked at the sky, the sky was gloomy, although it was still bright, but when the young man ran to Huguo Temple and took people down, it would almost be dark.

The mountains and forests at night are changeable, not to mention that people are pressed by boulders and can't move, and there are nine times out of ten that they are not lightly injured.

Xia Yue said: "What a big stone." ”

The young man was probably frightened too, and gestured blankly.

This size, this weight, Xia Yue thought for a while: "Don't go up the mountain, I'll help you save it." You lead the way, hurry up. ”

The merchant does not know that he has been exposed, and now it is time to deal with the aftermath and negotiate with the clear explanation, and nothing will change. It's impossible to just run away.

He greeted Wang Tong, although Wang Tong didn't know what they had done, but this kid was clever, and when he saw that they came back late, he would naturally help cover up in front of others.

People will only be in a hurry when they have found something else or something that needs to be dealt with.

When the young man saw Xia Yue like this, he was a little suspicious: "You can't do it." ”

"Almost." Xia Yue said: "Let's take a look first." ”
