Chapter 21: The Murder of the Spiritual Officer

Xu Mo thought he was unlucky, because there was no clue to continue the investigation, he could only wander around the city, to be honest, he had come to this world for nearly half a month, and he had not yet appreciated the ancient scenery of the beautiful China!

Beauty Street can be said to be the most prosperous street in Lingguan City, at this time, there is a group of convoys parked on the street, in the front, there is a white-maned horse, on horseback, wearing dark blue brocade clothes of the young spring breeze proud, the demeanor is shining, look at their posture, it should be to go to the summer tour, since the custom of the spring outing slowly spread, similar to their princes and nobles to have fun, the way derived can be described as endless, the summer tour is nothing new.

Both sides of the carriage are a place for people to walk, on the very edge, I don't know whose little girl, is holding two copper plates in her hand and running in a hurry, suddenly the soles of her feet tripped, the copper plate in her hand fell to the ground, straight to the bottom of the carriage across the street, the little girl's eyes stared at the carriage and stretched her head and shrunk her neck did not dare to pick it up, anxious in the same place, Xu Mo, who happened to see the whole process, walked over and squatted down, stroked the little girl's forehead, and said kindly, "Little girl, is there something wrong?"

"My money rolls under their wagon, but I don't dare pick it up, I ......," she said, and she began to cry.

"Don't cry, come, my brother will help you pick it up. ”

Of course Xu Mo won't run over to pick it up, but it's not that he's afraid of those aristocratic sons, it's just that he's just lazy, he just happened to have a little success in practicing alchemy recently, he wanted to try his hand, stretched out the fingers of his right hand to make a hook back action, just like the gesture of those girls in front of Yihong Courtyard to throw flattering eyes, strange to say, the two copper plates miraculously rolled from the bottom of the carriage and stopped at the little girl's feet.

"Brother, it turns out that my brother is a god. ”

The little girl applauded happily, picked up the white cherry lips of the copper plate and kissed it on Xu Mo's face, thanked her again, and happily ran to the Lingguan Temple.

"Well, or not...... I also went to worship God. ”

Looking at the little girl's disappearing back, Xu Mo had such an idea in his heart, first, it's okay to be idle, go back to the inn to suppress, and look at the night view is also a good choice, and secondly, it has a lot to do with the little girl who is too cute, strange to say the psychological relationship, Lingguan City has three symbols, North to Lou, Suhuayu and Lingguan Temple, the temple is dedicated to Wang Lingguan, Wang Lingguan, his real name is Wang Evil, and later changed his name to Wang Shan, which is a more important god in the Taoist system and traditional sacrifices, usually in Taoist temples for the existence of guarding the mountain gate, Wang Lingguan Temple in Lingguan Prefecture is dedicated to Wang Lingguan, the legend is the god of subduing demons, and the master collects plague and poisonBecause it can distinguish between good and evil, and know loyalty, there is a saying that if you go up the mountain and do not go up the mountain, you will worship the king first.

Coming to the temple, because the day after tomorrow to hold a nine-day temple fair, build a high platform in the temple, the main gate is sealed, pilgrims enter and exit from the side door, Xu Mo enters the door, sees the courtyard in the middle of the bronze bell, the tree is high, the incense is extremely prosperous, the little girl is kowtowing under the statue of Wang Lingguan to pray for blessings, after praying, turn her head to see Xu Mo, the little girl smiled and said, "Brother Fairy!"

"Hey, you're here to worship God. ”

"Well, grandpa is very sick, I'm here to worship Wang Lingguan and pray for grandpa!"

"Brother, what are you doing in Lingguan Temple?"

"Me, I'll take it around. Xu Mo looked at the little girl, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

"Then brother, you turn around first, I'll go over there and line up to get the medicine. ”

"Take the medicine?"

The little girl said happily, "Yes, there is a medicine house behind the Lingguan Temple, and the Sun Divine Doctor in it specializes in treating us poor, but there are a lot of people today, so we have to queue up." ”

"Click!"

The little girl was frightened and jumped into Xu Mo's arms.

The sky is full of dark clouds, from time to time there are lightning bolts breaking through the clouds, deafening, the surrounding heat subsides, instantly cool, the weather in August is like a child, and it is not a good child, the kind that specializes in naughty mischief!

"Are you afraid of thunder?

The girl hiding in Xu Mo's arms covered her ears with her hands, did not speak, and nodded fearfully.

"Come, I'll take you. ”

The crackling rain said that it would fall, and the workers who were responsible for the construction of the platform in the temple covered their heads with their coats and ran back to the house specially prepared for them not far from the temple, and the pilgrims with umbrellas also went home one after another, and there was only one guest waiting in line to grab the medicine in the Lingguan Temple, and there was a hunchback temple surnamed Zhang, who was hiding in a quiet place and smoking dry cigarettes, seeing that the rain was very fierce, he hurriedly extinguished the fireworks and led two or three young people to take care of the chores in the temple, Xu Mo picked up the little girl, and the little girl hugged Xu Mo's neck, and her head bowed slightly into Xu Mo's arms.

"Ah, it's a long line, it looks like we'll have to wait. ”

The little girl's head was still hidden in Xu Mo's arms, and she only made a voice, "Well, Doctor Sun's medicine is very good, and there are many people looking for him to catch it." ”

"Well, then wait. ”

"Thank you, Brother Fairy. ”

"Thank me?"

"Thank you for being with me, I'm afraid of thunder. ”

Xu Mo smiled like a spring breeze and said, "What's there to be afraid of thunder." ”

"Ah, help. ”

Over there, there was a scream, listening to the sound was probably in the main hall of the Lingguan Temple, not only Xu Mo heard the sound, but also the people who queued up to grab the medicine in the medicine house heard it, you must know that the heavy rain is still falling loudly, and it can not be covered by the sound of the rain, which shows how frightened the shouting people are in their hearts.

"Wow!

The people queuing up outside the medicine house were still discussing with each other to determine whether the cry for help they had just heard was an illusion, and the lights in the entire temple were all extinguished, and the surroundings were instantly pitch black and quiet, the sound of falling rain and the sound of the steps of the tiles, the breathing of the people around them, especially the breathing of the little girl in his arms, were extremely eye-catching to Xu Mo's ears.

"Help!"

"Spiritual officer, spiritual officer has killed someone. ”

"Ahh

The medicine house is located behind the temple.

In front of the temple, there were constantly noisy screams, The rain was mixed with the smell of blood, Xu Mo wanted to go over and take a look, but he had to take care of the little girl in his arms, and wanted to temporarily entrust her to the woman next to him to take care of her, but he didn't want the little girl to stick to Xu Mo completely, don't persuade her, she won't let go of the killing, since she doesn't let go, she can only hold it tightly.

"If you don't let go, I'm going to take you to the front to have a look, are you afraid? ”

"I'm not afraid to be with my fairy brother. ”

I was still trying to scare her off, but I made a mistake in my wishful thinking, didn't I?

"Good. ”

Holding the little girl tightly, Xu Mo walked through the road and the corridor leading to the front yard, standing at the end of the corridor, he could vaguely see the tragic scene in the courtyard, the three young people who followed the temple to clean up the sundries during the day in the courtyard all died in the courtyard, two were directly headless corpses, stretching the line of sight, Xu Mo saw that their heads were cut off and rolled down more than three meters away from the body, the raindrops fell, washing away the blood at the severed head, the wound was wet and white, the blood in the courtyard was flowing sideways, and the hunchbacked old temple Zhu struggled to climb to the corridor in the blood rain.

Xu Mo pressed the little girl's head with his hand, afraid that this scene would cause her psychological trauma, the hunchbacked old temple Zhu seemed to notice Xu Mo, and pointed to the main hall of the Lingguan Temple trembling in the rain, although through the rain curtain, Xu Mo could clearly see the fear in his eyes and the psychological collapse.

Touching his eyebrows, Xu Mo was thinking about whether to go in and have a look.

The little girl in her arms was also trembling.

"Click-"

A thunderbolt tore through the sky, and the darkness over the Lingguan Temple was replaced by light in a moment, just an instant, in that instant, Xu Mo saw that the door of the main hall of the Lingguan Temple was full of bloodstains, Xu Mo pulled the hunchbacked old temple Zhu into the corridor from the rain, and entrusted the little girl to him, every time the little girl came to the temple to pray for her grandfather and grab medicine, she would meet the old temple Zhu, she was still willing to stay by her side, moreover, Xu Mo didn't give her a chance at all, just put the little girl out of her arms, and rushed into the main hall of the Lingguan Temple.

No matter how sticky she wants, it's impossible.

In the hall, surprisingly quiet, Xu Mo regretted that he didn't bring fire when he came in, he couldn't see his five fingers in the dark, if an accident happened, he would die very unjustly and miserably, in the hall, on the shrine, the statue of the god was like a gloomy color, with a bare face and beard, wearing a golden armor and red robe, three eyes glaring, holding a hot wheel on the left, and a steel whip on the right, the image is extremely powerful and brave, it is a feared god and other words, which are specially used to describe this Taoist protector god general Wang Lingguan.

"Click-"

When Xu Mo's line of sight was aligned with the statue of Wang Lingguan in the hall, there was another thunderclap, and the hall suddenly lit up, Xu Mo saw that the statue of Wang Lingguan, which was twice as tall as his stature, looked majestic like a mountain, and had a fierce face, was actually crying, or blood and tears, in the legend, in reality, Wang Lingguan had three eyes, and the third eye on the sculpture was also bleeding and crying, Xu Mo unconsciously retreated, and his body trembled violently.

"Click!"

The third thunder pierced the night sky and tore out a moment of light in the temple, and Xu Mo saw a huge black shadow falling in front of him, and his whole person was shrouded in black shadows.

"Back to ...... head, still not back. ”

The door of the temple was closed, and there was no wind behind it, but it was cold.

Xu Mo didn't look back first, but moved his gaze from the statue of Wang Lingguan to the wrist of his right hand, he hoped that the miracle could be repeated, if Jian Thirteen could continue to manifest to help him survive this calamity, he would definitely remember it in his heart and never forget it in this life.

"Whoosh. ”

"Ahh

There was a sound of breaking wind behind him, Xu Mo instinctively squatted down, and saw a big sword slashed above his head, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, his head would still be safe and sound on his neck?

"Ahh

Xu Mo shouted to strengthen his courage, turned around and glared, and saw a huge and mighty Wang Lingguan, who was more than twice his size, standing there, as if the egg-big eyes were throwing a shocking urge, and the people outside the temple were all killed by him? Xu Mo's eyes swirled between Wang Lingguan and the sculpture in front of him, his heart was beating fiercely, Wang Lingguan's face was hideous, he took a few steps forward, and the sword in his hand slashed at Xu Mo's forehead from top to bottom, wanting to split him in half, Xu Mo hurriedly avoided it, picked up the incense burner on the shrine, threw it over and smashed open the window of the main hall, and escaped through the window.

"Bang dang!"

Almost at the same time as Xu Mo came out of the window, the door of the palace was smashed by Wang Lingguan with a big sword, he stepped on a heavy and powerful, every time he landed was enough to make the surrounding ground shake the pace, out of the main hall, standing on the high steps, the rain was getting bigger and bigger, the water in the courtyard was getting more and more, drowning two corpses, the sky thundered and clicked, and every time the bright light pulled out with a loud noise, it would temporarily dispel the endless darkness, so that Wang Lingguan's hideous face appeared.
