Nongmen Shenjue

Ji Mingming is 27, married for six or seven years, and has a very good relationship with his wife, but his knees are always empty.Both of them had consulted the doctor for medicine, and there was nothing wrong with their health, the doctor only said that the fate had not come yet.Seeing that they were about to stand together, the couple became more and more anxious. Later, they heard that there was a Foguang Temple in Guangmin County, and it was very effective in praying for a child. The two came here with high hopes.

Ji Ming's parents died early, and he only has one younger sister, who is fourteen years old, and they also go out together this time.

When they arrived in Guangmin County, they bathed and fasted three days in advance, and then went sincerely.

It was planned to stay in the temple for seven days, praying in the morning and evening, fasting and worshiping the Buddha.It is also pleasant to enjoy the scenery in the temple in your spare time.However, on the third day, the person disappeared.

"How did they disappear?"

"I woke up early in the morning and found that people were missing. At first I thought they were going to worship Buddha in the main hall, so I went to find them. The three meals in the temple were regularly delivered, and a little novice brought them. I was worried that the meal would be cold after a long time. But , I searched all over the temple but couldn’t find them. I asked the monks in the temple, but they all said I didn’t see them. Later, I reported to the official, and the monks in the temple changed their words, saying that they had seen two people go to the back mountain, and the Yacha was in the back I found my wife's embroidered shoes on the mountain path." I have probably described it many times, and now I repeat it very smoothly, but the bitterness and backache permeate it, which makes people feel compassionate.

Ji Ming laughed at himself and said, "At first, I thought Foguang Temple was very Buddhist, but after the accident, the monks' words and deeds were inconsistent. After paying attention, I found that these monks were full of strange things, like... A ghost with a mask!

I suspect that the disappearance of my wife and sister has something to do with the monks in the monastery, and I even speculate whether there is an accident between the two of them. The monks are afraid of taking responsibility, so they deliberately conceal it.

I had nowhere to ask, and no one could find me. Someone saw that I was pitiful, and advised me to give up.He said that in the past, Foguang Temple also lost a female pilgrim, and the family searched for it in every possible way, exhausting all their wealth, but it was still nothing.But I... that's my wife, my sister, how can I give up? "

Mu Qingyan pondered for a moment, then asked: "Did your wife and younger sister also get up early two days ago? When did they leave the room on the day they disappeared?"

"Not two days ago, I'm sure, we all had breakfast together, and then worshiped Buddha. On the day they disappeared, I slept too deeply, and I didn't hear any movement from the next door. If the servant didn't come to call me in spring, I'm afraid I would have missed it." breakfast."

Mu Qingyan heard something strange: "Aren't you in the same room as your wife?"

Ji Ming shook his head: "The temple knows that we are here to pray for a son, and is willing to serve the Bodhisattva devoutly for seven days, so they say that these seven days should be fasting, and husband and wife are not allowed to have sex. I think of the place of Buddhism, and we are serving Bodhisattvas and worshiping Buddha, so naturally we shouldn't have fun. Makes sense, could it be..."

Ji Ming turned his head and came up with a terrible guess, his face turned pale.

"How long has the person been missing?" Mu Qingyan avoided the other party's question.

"It's been more than half a month. We came here in April. We moved into Foguang Temple on the 23th and had an accident on the [-]rd." Ji Ming answered every question in detail. The two people in front of them are very interested in the disappearance.

He has been in a hurry to go to the doctor, but he is willing to try if there is even the slightest hope.

"Let's talk about the disappearance of other pilgrims."

Ji Ming refrained from asking, but his expression was a bit sad: "I also heard people say that it happened a few years ago, and it was also foreigners who came to worship Buddha and lost their young female relatives. It is said that there were at least seven or eight cases. Foguang Temple is not like it is now. The local people don’t go there at all, saying that there are ghosts there, or that there are bad people hiding in the mountain. Later, Foguang Temple was repaired again, and another eminent monk was invited to preside over it. After three years, the monks concentrated on it. Worshiping the Buddha regardless of the secular world, reopening the mountain gate to welcome pilgrims five years ago, it gradually gained its current reputation."

"That is to say, the last time the pilgrim disappeared was eight years ago at the earliest?"

Ji Ming nodded.

If not, he wouldn't dare to put his wife and sister in danger once he heard the news.

"What's the yamen's attitude after you reported to the government?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

Ji Ming didn't have any worries: "Although it was a bit procrastinating, I finally helped find someone. Even if I didn't give up, I helped find someone two or three times. I did manage some money, but the county government is like this. At first I paid much attention to it, but then I got annoyed, and I couldn’t get in or out of the gate of the county government.”

Mu Qingyan decided to go to Foguang Temple tonight.

After staying until the night was dark, the two repeated their old tricks and found the secret room under the temple.

I can't blame Ji Ming for not noticing the disappearance of his wife and sister. There are secret passages under the wing room where the pilgrims live.Presumably, the monks used incense or drugs on Ji Ming in advance to prevent him from waking up, and thus quietly kidnapped him.

However, there is a serious problem in front of us.

There has been no accident in Foguang Temple for eight years, and judging from the monitoring of the conversations of the monks, the "big master" has strictly prohibited robbing pilgrims at will, but now someone is making an exception.What will happen to the monk who makes an exception, but what will happen to the two people who were taken away?

The tunnels under the temple extend in all directions, and there is a large secret room directly under the abbot's room.

This secret room is much more elaborate than that of the winery, divided into large and small compartments, with lights and guards.All the detainees here are young women, between the ages of thirteen and fourteen to seventeen or eighteen, and they are all unmarried depending on their hair style.The only fortunate thing is that these women's clothes are intact, and even if the guarding monks speak intimately and look lewdly, they can only touch them twice at most.

It is estimated that these women are goods and are strictly controlled.

Then, the monks kidnapped Ji Ming's wife and sister, probably...

After observing, Wen Jixue said: "The monks in the temple all have a foundation in kung fu, I'm afraid there are people in the dark. If the secret way extends in all directions, it's easy to escape if you stun the grass. What's more, the Guangmin county government is also unreliable."

indeed.

But without the help of the county government, they simply don't have enough manpower.

"How about capturing the thief first?" Mu Qingyan asked.

"You want to check on Qian Sheng?" Wen Jixue nodded: "He must have the entry and exit account books in his hand, maybe he can follow the clues and catch the buyer."

"I need your help with this matter." Sneaking into the money house and looking for the ledger, Mu Qingyan couldn't do anything about this kind of thing.

Wen Jixue smiled and said, "Just leave it to Gao Tian."

Regardless of Gao Tian's simple and honest appearance, he is very reliable in his work.

Three days later, Gao Tian brought back the ledger.This is a general ledger, and there are too many detailed accounts, so I didn't take it.

Wen Jixue said: "Let Gao Tian take the account book, and Mu Lin take the Fenglin County Magistrate's handwritten letter, and go to see the Guangmin County Magistrate together."

This was Wen Jixue deliberately not letting Mu Qingyan show up directly.

Furthermore, the ledger is in Gao Tian's hands, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to snatch it.Mu Lin, as a policeman in Fenglin County, is also very appropriate to bring Zhou County Magistrate's handwritten letter there.

They did this to pretend that the matter is a foregone conclusion, and following the Guangmin county magistrate's usual prudent approach, they would definitely choose the most favorable course of action.What's more, even if you want to tip off the news, there are still them watching, so it's not that easy.

Mu Qingyan always didn't like to care about any follow-up arrangements, and Wen Jixue took over, which just relieved his worries.

The county magistrate of Guangmin County saw the account book and the handwritten letter of County Magistrate Zhou of Fenglin County, and immediately declared that all kidnappers must be arrested and severely punished. Let the local catchers cooperate with them to arrest people.To put it bluntly, Guangmin County gave up the position of the host and obeyed their orders. Generally, no one is willing to do this kind of thing.

Gao Tian led some to Foguang Temple, and Mu Lin led some to Qianjiazhuang.

As soon as the people here left, the county magistrate of Guangmin County sent someone to leave the county government quietly.

The master next to him pretended to be puzzled: "My lord, you are..."

"Well, the other party has enough evidence, and it's not easy to dismiss. I can only deal with it impartially. However, after all, I have received the benefits of Qian Sheng. It is his good fortune to give him the news and escape. Otherwise, I can only blame him. He has a bad year, so he can't blame me." Standard's sanctimonious, full of hypocrisy.

The whistleblower rushed to Qianjiazhuang, was knocked out by Wen Jixue, and was thrown on the corner of the street.

There were many people dispatched by the county government, the arrangements were careful, and it was by surprise. It stands to reason that the arrest should be very smooth.

Things went well for Qianjiazhuang. A total of 36 girls were abducted. Nine bones were found in the forest behind the winery, which obviously belonged to children.These dead children either died of illness, or were beaten to death trying to escape, and were buried hastily in the mountains.

Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue stayed in the county seat, staring at the county government.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Gao Tian returned, bringing back a shocking news.

"The monks of Foguang Temple, including the abbot and others, were all killed."

"Killed?" Mu Qingyan couldn't hide his astonishment. His intuition was that the news had been leaked, and Qian Sheng kept his mouth shut.However, something was still wrong.

"When did it happen?" Wen Jixue asked.

"When we arrived, we could smell the strong smell of blood in the temple. The lights were bright everywhere, but there was no sound. The gate of the temple was concealed. After entering, the main hall, Zen room, and courtyard were all dead monks, splashed with blood. They are everywhere. Among them, two monks had their heads cut off and their hearts hung on the door of the main hall."

Mu Qingyan frowned when he heard this: "Why is it like seeking revenge? Where are those women in the secret room?"

"The door of the secret room was blocked from the inside. The officials explained it for a long time before someone opened the door. After asking, I realized that shortly after dinner, there were screams from the temple. The guards went out to check, but they took a The blood came back. The courageous girls tried to escape when they saw that the stone gate was not sealed, but soon there were screams, and the rest of the people were terrified, and they closed the stone gate together, not daring to go out."

Gao Tian said again: "From the point of view of the wound, it is a sword wound, and the strike is sharp and fierce. Even if it hurts a vital point, there are still two or three sword wounds that continue to fall. It is purely to vent anger. There are at least two perpetrators, and the swordsmanship is not too strong. Clever, a little messy. There are no survivors, and no one in the secret room has ever seen the perpetrator."

Things developed like this, which was really unexpected.

"Go and see the scene." Mu Qingyan could already imagine what kind of hell scene it was, but it was too weird, so it was necessary to find out.
