Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

We agreed to return the same way we came. By this time it was already dark. We quietly came to the gate of Baiyun Temple. We found that the Baiyun Temple in the dark was no longer as clear and elegant as it looked during the day. There was a strange and cold atmosphere everywhere. Feel.

I tried pushing the door and found that it was bolted on the inside and could not be opened. The only way to get in was to climb over the courtyard wall. Baiyun Temple is surrounded by a brick wall of nearly two meters. Fortunately, when I came, I brought climbing tools such as ropes and claws with me. This is called an ivy. I threw the ivy hard into the wall, threw it backwards, and firmly grasped the edge of the wall with my claws. I quickly climbed up the wall and stood at the top, ready to pull the fat man up.

This is really a strenuous job. The tonnage of this fat man is really big. I tried my best to suck the milk. The more the fat man thumped underneath, the more tired I became, so I asked the fat man to stop his movements obediently. I was like Like a dead pig, they hung him up to the wall section by section, both of them panting from exhaustion.

I whispered to the fat man: "I told you to lose weight. You should eat less in the future. It almost killed me."

The fat man gasped and said, "I want to lose weight too. This guy is so stupid that he can gain weight even if he drinks cold water. Can you blame me?"

We rested on the wall for a while, and I found that there happened to be a crooked-neck pear tree planted against the wall in the courtyard. I could hold on to the pear tree and slowly come down. I jumped up and grabbed the branches of the pear tree tightly, and came down easily. The fat man was a little afraid of heights. He never dared to look down, let alone grab the pear tree. He was so anxious that he almost cried.

Alas, I had no choice but to stand under the wall and let the fat man slowly grab the top of the wall and reach my shoulders so that he could get down. Good guy, this is really going to kill me. This fat man weighed about two hundred pounds and stepped on my shoulders like an elephant. My shit was almost squeezed out by him.

After finally getting the fat man down, he was already sweating profusely. The fat man looked guilty and said to me, "Brother, are you okay?"

How could I give in at this time? I straightened my back and said with an arrogant look on my face, "You can still hold on." With my back to him, I quietly rubbed my waist with a grimace on my face.

After taking a short rest, we walked straight from the courtyard to the Qingya Pavilion next to the Sanqing Hall. This is where Fuyaozi usually receives pilgrims. There is a set of doors inside that is his dormitory. He should be here now.

It was the second watch at this time, and the sky had become gloomy at some point, with no light from the stars and the moon. The Qingya Pavilion was pitch dark and very quiet. There was no sound inside, which made people feel even more gloomy. , some feel hairy in their hearts.

I gently pushed open the door of Qingya Pavilion, only to hear a creaking sound. In this completely silent night, the sound of the door was even more harsh, and I couldn't help but feel nervous.

After a while, I saw no movement and breathed a sigh of relief. We turned around and entered Qingya Pavilion, closed the door gently, opened the fire cover, and held the flame with our hands so that it could illuminate the place in front of us without being too bright to alarm the people in the room.

I looked around. There was no one in this room, it was still daytime. There is a table with two long chairs, which is used to receive pilgrims. There is a portrait of Taishang Laojun hanging in the front yard. In front of the portrait is an offering table with yellow paper for incense burners and some offerings. Nothing unusual.

There is a suite at the end of the house, which is where the Taoist priest rests at night, separated by a door. We came to the door. I pushed it gently and found that the door was not locked. I pushed the door open a crack. Inside was a small room with very simple furnishings, including a bed and a bed. Table square table.

I thought the Taoist priest was asleep in the bed, but when I saw the quilts on the bed were neatly folded, the Taoist priest was not in them! It is already the second watch now, which is the time when people enter deep sleep. If this person is not sleeping, where has he gone?

Since we were not in Qingya Pavilion, we quietly came out and planned to look around.

At this time, a wild cat suddenly jumped out of nowhere. With the faint light of the fire, I found that its whole body was white and its eyes were shining with stars. It may have been single for a long time, and even looking at a wild cat felt that it had a delicate appearance. It glanced at us, but had no intention of running away. Instead, it turned around and ran slowly to the back of the hall. It looked back at us from time to time. When we walked faster, it walked faster, and when we walked slower, it also walked slower. Come down, as if waiting for us.

This was really interesting. It felt like it wanted to lead us to a place, so we followed it to the courtyard behind the temple.

There is no wall in the back yard, and the front is close to the mountain. Unlike the clean and tidy front hall, it looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time. It is full of wormwood as tall as a person and there are also several tall pine trees planted there. , at this time, a gust of wind blew by, carrying all kinds of strange and ominous atmosphere.

The fire stick in my hand was shining brightly and darkly, which added to the eerie flavor. The yellow-skinned one ran in front, and we followed closely behind it, digging through the wormwood and chasing after it. After a while, it was in a corner of the yard and suddenly disappeared.

We followed and saw some weeds piled up in a corner of the yard. It was obvious that the weeds had been moved, so we walked forward, gently opened the weeds with our hands, and found a door. Hidden in it.

There is half a remnant stele stamped next to the door. I can't see clearly what is written on it. It feels like a tombstone. This door is embedded in the mountain, like a copper door. Because this place is relatively humid, the top has been It was rusty, and there was a hole in the lower right corner of the door. It turned out that the yellow leather had got through this hole.

I bravely held my breath, stretched out my hand and pushed the door inwards. I didn't push it. It turned out that the door opened outwards. There was a pull ring on the door. I opened the door to a gap with force and shined a light with a fire stick. I found that there was a cave inside the door.

The cave was dark and damp, and it felt like the walls were filled with some sticky liquid of unknown origin, and a fishy smell hit his face. There are various charms and red rope copper coins hanging on the ceiling of the cave, and there are also some paper dummies on the ground!

The paper figures were both male and female, with two scarlet cheeks painted on their pale faces, dark eyes, and weird smiles that made people's scalp explode.

At this time, the wild cat appeared again. It meowed softly, as if it was talking to us, and then turned around and ran towards the hole inside. We also followed it and walked into the cave.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a huge altar table, which is filled with various kinds of sacrifices. In the center of the table is a small figure made of grass, with a talisman drawn on yellow paper tied around the heart. It seems that here There is a French ceremony going on, and someone is doing a curse here!

Then look at a person kneeling under the table, it is Fuyaozi! However, they were motionless now, even kneeling upright with their eyes motionless. Their faces were covered in blood. They were not dead, but they only had air coming in and no air coming out. It seemed that their lives were on the verge of death.

Not far from him, there was a person lying upside down. It was the Taoist boy, but he was out of breath. There were two bloody fingerprints on his neck. His eyes were open, his tongue was sticking out, and his urine and urine were flowing all over the floor. It turned out that he was strangled and suffocated to death.

The fat man saw that Fuyaozi was still breathing, so he bit his finger and wiped it between his eyebrows. He immediately collapsed, breathless and very weak. After a while, he reluctantly sat down. I He took out the water bottle from his waist and gave him a drink of water. His mind became somewhat clearer.

I pulled down the red rope from the top of the cave and tied him up. The fat man knelt down and said to him: "You Jade Girl's blood curse is too evil. You don't know that if someone can break your curse, you will be counterattacked." ?"

Fuyaozi lowered his head, sighed and said: "I met two masters this year. I admit defeat and thank you for coming back to save my life. Whatever you want to know, I will tell you."

I said: "It was not us who saved your life, but a white cat who led us here."

Fuyaozi said: "It seems that people should do more good deeds. I picked up this white cat a few days ago. It was about to starve to death. I gave it some food, so it kept following me. Unexpectedly, it... Saved myself in a pinch.”

I pointed to the Taoist boy next to him and asked, "How did he die?"

Fuyaozi lowered his head and said, "I was casting a spell on you just now. Suddenly the straw man on the table moved and sprayed a mouthful of blood at me. Then I felt that the Taoist boy next to me was holding a knife to kill me, so I put it He strangled him to death, it seems that this was the backlash of Jade Girl’s blood curse!”

I asked him: "Why did you put a curse on me? We are strangers. Why did you want to harm me?"
