Chapter 89: Checking the Building

Lin Yi thought about it, changed his question, and said, "Lord County Order, think about it carefully, what strange things happened in Anning County half a year ago, or unusual events?"

"Good!"

Jiang Ming didn't know why Lin Yi was questioning, but he still chose to believe Lin Yi and immediately thought about it.

One will cross the eyebrows, one will grit the teeth, and the other will sigh.

I thought about a cup of tea, but I didn't come up with any results.

Before the severe drought, Anning County had always been calm and rainy, and there was no disaster.

After all, nothing major has ever happened in this inconspicuous small county.

Suddenly, Jiang Ming paced outside the door, saw Wang'an Tower not far away, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Dao Chief, if you talk about major things, there is only one thing, I don't know if it is the Dao Chief's question?"

Lin Yizheng was worried, and when he heard a clue, he said happily: "Say!"

"Half a year ago, the only major event that happened in Anning County was the construction of Wang'an Tower," Jiang Ming raised his hand and pointed outward, "When this building was first built, it was in a great drought, so there have been rumors that the construction of Wang'an Tower angered the gods in the sky, is it ......?"

Jiang Ming's face turned pale, "Is it true?"

He never believed this statement, and thought it was nonsense.

Now that Lin Yi asked, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

Lin Yi didn't answer, his eyes staring outside.

From here, you can just see the top floor of Wang'an Tower, which shines brightly in the sun, which is very magnificent.

Could this most luxurious pavilion in Anning County be the culprit of the drought?

Look it up!

Lin Yi didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, and said, "My lord, can you take Poor Dao to Wang'an Tower?"

Jiang Ming knew the severity of the matter, and immediately responded: "Okay, of course, the Taoist can go now." ”

"Let's go!"

Lin Yi changed into the colorful and strange costume, put on a mask, and then took the official sedan chair with Jiang Ming and went to Wang'an Tower.

Wang'an Building is not far away, walk a street to it.

Today, Peng Laosha and his disciples live in the pavilion, and the inside and outside are full of people from the Xuanling Taoist sect.

Of course, they are only staying temporarily, and this Wang'an Tower still belongs to the yamen.

So Jiang Ming said that he wanted to take Lin Yi into the building to do errands, but Peng Laosha didn't dare to stop him.

"Lord Prefectural Order, please!"

Peng Laosha was polite and invited Jiang Ming and Lin Yi into the pavilion, but he was very suspicious in his heart.

I don't know what this Master Lin suddenly came to Wang'an Tower to do.

Could it be related to the previous bet for rain?

In any case, beware must be taken.

Peng Laosha secretly called a few disciples and asked them to keep an eye on the two of them, and they couldn't slack off.

After entering the building, Lin Yi didn't have any direction, so he walked through all rooms and corners, and carefully checked layer by layer.

His thinking was simple.

Although Wang'an Building is expensive and wastes a lot of people's fat and ointment, it will never be able to offend the gods.

Otherwise, any pavilion and palace in the palace is ten times more luxurious than Wang'an Tower, wouldn't it offend the gods and Buddhas of the heavens!

Therefore, it is not important to have Wang'an Tower, but what is in the pavilion is important.

Half a day passed.

Lin Yi searched from the first floor of Wang'an Building to the third floor, but still did not find any useful clues or abnormalities.

The pavilion had just been built, and there were very few furnishings inside, and most of the rooms were empty.

The occupied room was furnished with only beds, tables and chairs.

Nothing else.

All the way to the top floor, Jiang Ming became more and more anxious, sweating all over his head, "Dao Chief, what can you find?"

He was terrified.

If it was really because of the construction of Wang'an Tower, which caused a great drought, he would have become a sinner in Anning County.

While hoping that Lin Yi could find out something and find the reason, he was afraid of finding out something.

Lin Yi shook his head, "It's not unusual. ”

Jiang Ming looked strange, both disappointed and happy.

I was very conflicted.

"Dao Chief, there has always been a rumor in Anning County, saying that the construction of Wang'an Tower caused the wrath of the heavens and caused a drought, but in my opinion, it was just a coincidence of time. ”

Lin Yi was noncommittal, got up and walked out of the room.

"Let's go. ”

Since you can't find anything, there's no point in wasting time.

The two left Wang'an Tower one after another and prepared to return to the county office.

It was almost dusk.

The sunset is slanting.

Lin Yi had just boarded the sedan chair, and after walking not far away, he suddenly glanced out of the sedan chair and caught a glimpse of the deserted courtyard behind Wang'an Tower.

"Huh?"

"Stop the car!"

Lin Yi shouted.

The sedan chair driver hurriedly lived in the sedan chair and pressed the sedan chair.

Lin Yi ran straight out, walked quickly, and walked towards Wang'an Tower.

Jiang Ming looked stunned, and before he could ask, Lin Yi had already walked ten zhang away.

He hurried to follow.

This time, Lin Yi did not enter the Wang'an Building, but walked to the deserted courtyard behind the pavilion.

The yard has been abandoned for a long time, most of the houses have collapsed, and the yard is full of waste bricks and stones, and piles of garbage.

Jiang Ming followed breathlessly and said, "Dao Chief, half a year ago, in order to build Wang'an Tower, several private houses were requisitioned, and this broken courtyard was one of them. ”

Lin Yi ignored it, lowered his head to find something, and glanced around at the ground.

Walking to the courtyard wall, his eyes lit up, he squatted down, and said, "Found it!"

Jiang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that Lin Yi was piled up with a pile of useless tattered debris in front of him, including broken tiles, rotten wood and grass, lumps of rags, and broken porcelain bowls.

Most conspicuously, there is a stone statue pressed underneath.

The stone statue is tattered and full of cracks, and it is no longer in shape, even if it is thrown on the street, no one will ask for it, at most it will be an uncomfortable stool.

Unexpectedly, what Lin Yi was looking for was this thing.

He came to Wang'an Tower to investigate and found this stone statue.

I didn't care about it at the time, but I suddenly remembered it just now.

So let's find out.

Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves and moved the things pressed on the stone statue, carefully, like digging a precious treasure.

Jiang Ming was confused, didn't ask much, and hurriedly started to help Lin Yi.

Soon, the two of them cleaned up the surroundings, took out the stone statue, and roughly wiped it again.

The statue was in tatters, cracked and even missing half an arm.

No matter how much you try to get it, you can't get it back to its original state.

"I remember," Jiang Ming always felt that the stone statue was familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally had a flash of inspiration, and shouted again and again, "Dao Chief, this is the statue of Shui De Xingjun!"

Lin Yi raised his head thoughtfully, "How do you know?"

Jiang Ming took a few breaths and explained: "Originally, there was a Shuide Xingjun Temple here, and this stone statue was enshrined in it. ”

Lin Yi suddenly understood something, and his heart suddenly opened.

But he didn't interrupt Jiang Ming and continued to listen to Jiang Ming's story.

Later, in order to build Wang'an Tower, the Yamen requisitioned the land, and the small temple naturally had to be demolished. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Ming sighed, "At that time, there were also people who said that they couldn't just tear down the temple of the immortals, otherwise the immortals would be unhappy." ”

"I just thought it was a fool's word, and I didn't care, and the small temple was really dilapidated, even if it wasn't demolished now, it would collapse in a few years, so I ordered someone to demolish it. ”

"Dao Chief, is it ......?"

Jiang Ming's voice trembled suddenly, his face became extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of fear and horror.

"Is it really because of the demolition of the temple that you offended the gods?"
