"Master, are these...!?" Gu Qiu asked curiously.

Master Hui'an explained, "These are believers who have received the sin-washing incense. They will leave their names behind. The incense of the Sin-Cleaning Temple will be edified every day, which will naturally help them cleanse their sins."

Gu Qiu's hand trembled involuntarily. He had an idea in his mind. He glanced at the names on the board and asked seemingly casually, "Who are the people who got the sin-washing incense today?"

"Here." Master Hui'an pointed out to Gu Qiu the name of the person who got the sin-washing incense this morning.

Gu Qiu glanced at it and said with some surprise, "Are these all locals!?"

Master Hui'an smiled helplessly and said, "These are just helpless things. After all, Xisin Temple is a local temple, so it naturally takes some care of the locals. Every day before the temple door opens, there will be something related to the monks of Xisin Temple. The people were released in advance, and as a result...most of the sin-cleansing incense was naturally taken away by locals."

Gu Qiu suddenly realized that this sounds a bit unfair, but in fact, as long as you still live in society, human relationships are basically unavoidable, whether it is China or foreign countries, it is the same.

While talking, Gu Qiu quietly took a picture of the name on the board with his Nokia. While taking the picture, he said to Master Hui'an, "The number of locals is always limited, so some will be left for outsiders!"

Master Hui'an nodded slightly and sighed, "Actually...after these sin-washing incense were taken away, most of them were sold to outsiders, and they were expensive. Otherwise, the sin-washing temple wouldn't have to be guarded every day by some locals with friendly ties." , really troubled."

"Oh! If that's the case, I would like to buy one and take it back as a souvenir." Gu Qiu smiled, as if he was telling a joke.

Master Hui'an didn't find it strange. The sin-washing incense from Xisin Temple is indeed regarded as a local specialty. Every year, countless believers come to ask for it. Most people can't ask for it, and they can only sell it at a high price. He said, "Why should the donor bother?" Stick to one stick of incense and do good deeds, and you will get good rewards.”

"I understand what Master said, but since I want to bring souvenirs back, the sin-washing incense is high-end and classy, ​​so I don't have to choose!" Gu Qiu said with a smile.

Master Hui'an was stunned when he was told that. He could only smile bitterly and said, "If this is the case, these two masters should know the news about those incense sellers. You can ask."

"Okay, let me ask first. Master, wait a minute." Gu Qiu turned around and came to the two monks who were preparing to place the wooden boards. The two had seen Gu Qiu just now. After all, they were brought by the monks in the temple. , treated differently from other tourists.

Gu Qiu saluted the two monks with his hands together, and then asked for the contact information of these incense sellers.

"I want to grab the contact information of Xisuixiang and these people today." Gu Qiu got straight to the point.

The two monks were unambiguous and wrote several people's phone numbers directly to Gu Qiu. However, there was one missing person, who should be the man who spontaneously combusted in the morning.

After the matter was settled, Master Hui'an wondered, "Why do we need these people? Is there any explanation?"

Gu Qiuqian laughed and said, "Because it's fresh."

"..." Master Hui'an.

After saying goodbye to Master Hui'an and leaving the Sin-Cleaning Temple, Gu Qiu was ready to contact these people. His current guess was that the Sin-Cleaning Incense distributed today was probably defective. One of them had spontaneously ignited and died, and there was something wrong with it. A big mark of injustice was left on his arm... No, it was the word "anger".

Considering the situation in the Palace of Cleansing Evil, Gu Qiu felt that he might have to get a few sticks of incense and then go to the Palace of Cleansing Evil to end this incident.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiu dialed the number of one of them, and the call was quickly connected.

The two finally communicated for a while and made an appointment to meet at a lively place. Gu Qiu originally wanted to meet in a lively place, but the other party disagreed, saying that selling sin-cleansing incense was dishonorable and they definitely couldn't meet in a lively place. As a result, I could only choose a remote park.

Gu Qiu is now a little afraid of remote places. He doesn't know why he was attacked in the hotel room. Being alone in a confined space may be one of the reasons. Although he is not sure, Gu Qiu is still afraid of remote places. Some concerns.

It's just that the other party chose a place and they wouldn't meet if they changed places. Gu Qiu had no choice but to agree. At worst, he would go there in a hurry and just stay in a crowded place until then.

The appointment time between the two was five o'clock. It was already past four o'clock now. Gu Qiu had a meeting in a shopping mall near the park and had something to eat. He didn't have time to eat lunch at noon. No matter what happened next , it will definitely not go wrong to maintain your own physical strength first.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Qiu packed up his things and then went to the appointed park. The other party asked to meet under a red camphor tree in the park, but when Gu Qiu arrived, the other party did not arrive.

"Damn it...!" Gu Qiu cursed, but at this time he had no other choice but to wait for a while.

Time passed little by little, but the other party was still nowhere to be seen. Gu Qiu could only make another call, but the other party's call was clearly connected, but no one answered.

"What's going on!?" Gu Qiu frowned, was he being cheated?

He made several calls in succession, but no one answered. Just when Gu Qiu was about to leave, he suddenly heard a ringing sound. Gu Qiu was stunned for a moment. He listened to the ringtone coming from the phone and listened in his ears. The two ringtones are almost completely consistent.

"The person is here!?" Gu Qiu was stunned for a moment. Since the person is here, why didn't he answer the phone? Selling incense is not selling any contraband.

Gu Qiu followed the ringtone of the phone to look for it. The strange thing was that the ringtone was definitely not far away. However, Gu Qiu went around and still couldn't find it. The ringtone was right next to his ears. No matter where he turned, the ringtone did not weaken or increase. It was right there. When Gu Qiu felt a little unhappy, he suddenly remembered something.

He searched around the red camphor tree, but the ringing never got louder or smaller, which meant that the distance between him and the ringing never got bigger or smaller. That means... Gu Qiu looked up at the red camphor tree. canopy.

Under the sparse sunset light, a purple-red face appeared in front of Gu Qiu's eyes. The eyes of that face were protruding, and there were strands of saliva overflowing from the corners of the mouth, which condensed into droplets and fell down after a moment.

Gu Qiu quickly took a step back so that the dripping corpse water did not touch his body. Gu Qiu calmed his heartbeat for a moment. There was no one around. He carefully observed the corpse and found a stick of incense in the corpse's hand. He I could only grit my teeth and climb up the red camphor tree.

Climbing up to the canopy of the red camphor tree, Gu Qiu could see clearly the details of the corpse. Apart from the fact that the face had turned purple, the corpse had no physical damage, and it was impossible to tell what caused his death.

The stick of incense was held in the man's hand, and the hand was on his chest. The man was face down, so if Gu Qiu wanted to get the sin-washing incense, he had to turn the man over first.
