Chapter 452: Songshan Temple
Just when everyone thought that the man wanted money or something in return.
The man rubbed his hands, looked up at Bai Junqian, scratched his head and said, "I'm here to steal the carriage today, don't tell anyone else, I don't want to spread the rumors that I stole things, I don't want my mother to think that my son is an unsuccessful son......"
Bai Junqian smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, we won't spread it." It's just that you need to tell you how to get into the Liutong Manor. ”
Hearing this, the man smiled, put his mind at ease, thought about it carefully, and said: "That year, Heinizhuang was going to open a new courtyard, and I heard that craftsmen were recruited in Jinlai City, and the people were afraid of the hell of Heinizhuang and did not dare to go, only I registered with a few brothers in Dongtou. It is led by a man, masked, all the way to a place. Only then did I realize that it was not a new yard at all, it was digging hell. Don't you know, that place is really a hell......" The more the man spoke, the more frightened the expression on his face, "That place seems to be really underground, we are going further and further down, I don't know how deep it is, digging holes to build walls, it is really scared to death, and now when I think about it, I am still a little uneasy." ”
After listening for a long time, the crowd didn't hear the gist of it, but said: "The so-called hell is just a nonsense, which manor does not have a defensive project underground? Presumably, this Liutong Manor is nothing more than this." ”
Nanfeng urged slightly impatiently, "So how did you get into that 'hell'?"
The man was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Really...... It's really hell, huh?"
Nanfeng had no choice but to change a smile and present it on his face, and said very kindly: "Where is it, but just casually, don't you look like hell?
The man thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "I ...... I can't remember exactly, but we were all covered with our heads covered, and we couldn't see anything. Some of our brothers couldn't help but uncover it inside, but they were all killed without a sound, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to come out. ”
Hearing this, everyone was also a little helpless about this man, and Nanfeng, who had always had a bad temper, said angrily: "You can't remember clearly, so why are you still telling me this? It's all nonsense for a long time." He was so angry that he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
The man chased after him and said, "Slow down, heroes, ...... The gold is kept in the ground, won't you take some of it and take it away?"
"If you click on the gold, you can stay here, and maybe the old man fishing will come out again in a moment. Chang Yuechen said loudly.
When the man heard this, he ran faster. Bai Junqian frowned, looked at the man and said, "You go back." We're still on business, and you don't need to follow us now, anyway. ”
As soon as the man heard this, he said, "Engong, don't leave me behind! ”
"What's the matter?" Lingxi asked, turning his head.
"When I went in that year, I asked for a smell. The man recalled.
When everyone heard this, their pace slowed down, and they looked at the man and asked, "What does it smell like?"
The man was distressed for a long time and said, "I can't tell, but it smells like ...... It seems to be the smell of incense ash. ”
"Incense ash?" Bai Junqian frowned, thought for a while, and said: "That is, the temple is alive and the Taoist ancestral hall can only use the incense ash." ”
It's a small clue, but it's very useful. The more they thought about it, the more justified and happy they became, and they wanted to immediately investigate this clue and discuss countermeasures.
When the group left the edge of the black swamp, they began to move.
According to the "incense ash" recalled by the man, the group first went to the spice shop that sold incense ash, and carefully checked several separately, but they were not found on all sides, and these shops were far away from the Liutong Manor. There are also a few rich and noble families, who like to use incense, and they all step on them one by one, but these places are all in the city, and it is almost impossible to have something to do with Liutong Manor.
After everyone repeatedly confirmed that they had investigated, the only suspicion was that there was only one place left: Songshan Temple.
Songshan Temple is a famous incense temple on the outskirts of the Xia family, with a long history, and is the largest temple in the city. There are many good men and women who burn incense and pray for blessings in the courtyard, and the people of the platform often come here to pray. The incense is quite vigorous.
Therefore, the amount of incense ash in Songshan Temple in a year should be the largest in the city.
And this place is located on the bank of the Huainan River, on the outskirts of Jinlai City, and not far from Liutong Manor.
Bai Junqian and his party felt this Songshan Temple, and searched back and forth in the crowded temple many times, but they still found nothing. There are also many places where pilgrims are not allowed to enter the temple, and they are not allowed to trespass in the open.
Some monks also shouted at them as a warning that they were not allowed to set foot at every turn, much to the annoyance of David of the South Wind.
"I'm not going to go there. The monk guarding the Chiguang Hall was a little arrogant, holding the broom horizontally in front of him, making a posture of blocking.
"You can't even go to the main hall?, how can there be such a reason?" Nanfeng argued deliberately pretending to be angry.
The monk said calmly: "The hall is being cleaned, and the damaged pillars are being repaired, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter." ”
Nanfeng and the monk were in a stalemate for a long time, while Lingxi and the others were observing all this from a short distance.
At this time, the old woman on crutches who suddenly walked slowly past Nanfeng, she walked to the monk's side, and slowly took out a silver ingot from her pocket and threw it into the vat next to her.
The monk's face was calm, with every trace of superfluous expression, but his eyes rolled, and he withdrew the broom and let it go, so the old woman went in slowly with a cane.
Nanfeng pointed at the old woman who went in and said angrily: "Obviously she is deceiving people, how can the old lady go in?"
"If you want to go in, you must pay the incense money first. A few of you, sneaking around in the monastery, I have long suspected that you can't go in without paying the incense money. The monk said proudly.
Nanfeng also had nothing to say, and Bai Junqian stepped forward slowly, and said with a soft attitude: "May I ask how much is the incense money?"
"Ten taels. ”
Nanfeng instantly felt that something was wrong, and was about to argue, but Bai Junqian took the lead and said: "The old lady only gave a total of one tael of silver, why should I give ten taels later?" The reason why he asked this was not because of the amount of money, but because he wanted to find out the meaning of the gap.
The monk pursed his lips and said with a look of ignorance: "Love can't enter." "The broom was still there, as if it thought it was a wall to keep the army at bay.
Before Bai Junqian could speak, as soon as Nanfeng stretched out his palm, the top bead made of gold was already in his hand, his attitude eased a lot, and he said with a smile: "This is always good for making incense money, right?"
