Skilled in managing a house

It was dawn the next day.

A lot of people gathered outside the Catholic church. Not to mention a huge crowd, it was almost like attending a temple fair.

The people who came here were not only people from the town, but also patrol and fire brigade people, as well as ambulances. The once magnificent Catholic church now looks like an abandoned factory.

The crosses hanging high in the church were now broken to the ground. All the glass windows in the church were broken, and there were holes in the corners of the houses.

The road engineering in England is very good. After all, the British Isles are very rainy and the climate is not that good. The rainy season is particularly heavy. It rains not only in summer but also in winter. Therefore, their drainage facilities are particularly perfect. One or two hours after a heavy rain, there will not be much water on the ground.

But right now, water is still flowing out of the church. Especially when the door of the church is opened, it feels like a flood is flowing out, and the water is rushing out. It is not difficult to see from this how much water was poured in last night.

The firefighters rescued people from inside first. The first ones to come out were a group of nuns and deacons. Even though they came out from inside, their bodies were no different from drowned rats, as if they had been soaked in the rain all night.

After a while, two more stretchers were brought out. On one stretcher, it was almost impossible to see, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there were burnt marks. The policeman's theory was that the faceless man was struck to death by lightning. After questioning, I learned that it was Father Bredvar who had recently come to the church. On the other stretcher, Father Rooney was carried out. Father Rooney's face turned blue, and the patrolman initially determined that he was either freezing to death or frightened to death.

The reason was simple. Bredvar, who was struck to death by lightning, was right next to him. Anyone who saw this scene would be scared to death. It was very possible that I fainted from fright, because the glass in the church was broken, it was windy and rainy, and it was winter, so I couldn't bear it. Lying unconscious on the ground, he was most likely frozen to death.

As soon as they heard that Father Bredvar was struck to death by lightning and that Father Rooney was frightened to death, the crowd of people watching exploded.

"How could this happen?" "I don't know." "It rained quite a lot last night, with thunder and lightning, and strong winds, but it wasn't to this extent." "That means the thunder didn't hit you. On the house." "Can this thunder be aimed at the church?" "I'm not sure. Look at the cross on it. Didn't it fall and break?" "Indeed." "It can't be so evil. ”.

"Evil! As soon as you said this, I remembered something." "What?" "The priest who made the prophecy before was Father Bradvar who was struck to death by lightning. He said that Sanqingguan was going to There was a disaster, and it was said that John Brown would not live for a few days. The result was good. Sanqingguan did not see anything wrong. The Catholic Church became like this after a heavy rain overnight. John Brown did not see anything wrong. As a prophetic priest, , he is dead now." "When you say that, it seems like this is really the case." "Is there something wrong with this?" "God knows." "But I think there is something to it." "No. Just guessing, I'm suddenly a little scared now." "Yeah, I suddenly feel that this Catholicism is evil, and Taoism is also evil." "Is this a battle of wits between the two families? Otherwise, why did something happen in the church last night? It’s okay.” “It makes sense.”.

"James, what do you think we should do in the future? Can we no longer come to the Catholic Church?" "I can't come even if I die, it's too dangerous." "What about the Sanqing Temple?" "Well, I tell you it's best. Don't mess with me, let's just live our lives honestly. If anything happens, we'll see about it later." "Yes, yes, yes."

Although the Catholic church could not be said to be destroyed overnight, after this disaster, the people in the town almost reached a tacit agreement and would never come to the church again.

From their point of view, the strength of the church is obviously not very good, otherwise it would not be like this. Similarly, they also realize that Taoism is not something to be trifled with. It is estimated that the reason why the Catholic Church is like this tonight is the fault of Sanqing Temple.

Regardless of whether Sanqingguan is a normal counterattack, there is something evil in it.

For ordinary people, they just want peace. The church is a kind of faith. In fact, they don’t expect the church to bring them any great benefits.

Although Sanqing Temple is popular, it does not bring benefits to everyone. Only a few can benefit from it. It is said that a fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond. They understand this truth and are worried about becoming the fish in the pond.

The most important point is that when the Catholic Church was up to something, they saw nothing. Last night's heavy rain and lightning caused the Catholic church to look like this, which is clearly suspicious. However, there is no evidence for this kind of thing, and the people in the town can only speculate.

In the four-story foreign-style building on the first floor, Tom was sitting alone on the terrace. He seemed a little distracted.

What happened last night made him cringe when he thought about it, and he was almost burned to death.

With a click, the door opened and a middle-aged woman came in from the outside.

The woman walked to the terrace and saw Tom sitting there, and said directly: "Tom, please don't go to Sanqing Temple in the future, otherwise you will get into trouble!"

Hearing the woman's voice, Tom looked back and said listlessly: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" the woman said seriously, "I'm telling you, everyone went to the Catholic church this morning and found that the church had been destroyed. Even Father Rooney and the new Father Bredvar were dead. I heard people say that the heavy rain and lightning last night were the tricks played by the Taoist priests of Sanqing Temple. Our family does not seek wealth, but only peace and security. You should avoid participating in it in the future."

In the eyes of women, they don't know that Tom goes to the Taoist temple every day and is actually an undercover agent. She always thought that her husband really believed it.

"Is there such a thing?" Tom jumped down from the chair.

"Everyone in the town has said so, and everyone has said that they will never go to Sanqing Temple again to avoid getting themselves into trouble. Don't go either!" the woman shouted again seriously.

"This" Tom hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the terrace and walked toward the door.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the woman asked anxiously: "Where are you going?"

"I have something to do, so don't worry about it!" Tom said, already walking out of the house.

The woman stomped her foot angrily and shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this!"

When Tom left home, he did not go anywhere else, but rushed all the way to Sanqing Temple.

When we came to the Taoist temple, the door of the Taoist temple was open, but there were not many people inside to offer incense. This was also because everyone in the town went to church.

Tom walked into the door and was immediately greeted by a knowledgeable person. When he saw him, his face turned cold, "Why are you here? Do you think you didn't burn us to death last night?"

"Sorry, I didn't know that thing would catch fire. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared," Tom said aggrievedly.

"Who knows if you know this? Master has already said that it will not be difficult for you, but you should not come here again. You must have heard this clearly last night." Taoist Zhike said loudly.

"I know, but I have something important to inform Master today." Tom said sincerely.

"Then wait a minute. I'll call and see if Master Shigong can see you," said Zhike Taoist.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. The call was for John Brown. After getting through, he told him about Tom's arrival.

He got a reply soon. After nodding in agreement, he hung up the phone and said, "Come with me. Master, I have a lot of people and I won't care about you."

At that moment, Taoist Zhike led Tom to the middle courtyard and into Zhang Yu's room.

In the room, Zhang Yu and Zhang Yinling, Zhu Jiuzhen and John Brown, and Stephen Lisa were sitting.

When Zhang Yinling saw Tom, she couldn't help frowning and curling her lips. She obviously didn't have a good impression of this guy.

After Tom came in, he greeted everyone one by one. Zhang Yu motioned to get him a futon and sat down opposite. Then, Zhang Yucai said: "You are here today. Do you have anything else to do?"

"This morning, the Catholic church has been destroyed. Father Rooney and Father Bredvar are both dead." Tom said eagerly after listening to John Brown's translation.

John Brown translated again, and Zhang Yinling curled her lips and said: "They deserve to die, these bad guys! Also, we have heard about this."

Zhang Yu also said: "We already know about this matter. What's wrong?"

"But everyone in the town said that the destruction of the church was caused by Sanqingguan. Everyone will never come to Sanqingguan again. My wife told me the same thing when she came home." Tom said anxiously said.

Zhang Yu smiled lightly and said: "We were all together with you at the time. I think you should know best whether it was someone from Sanqingguan who did it."

"I just know that it was not done by Sanqing Guan, so I came to inform Master. I know this matter best, but those people all said that Sanqing Guan did it. I think this matter is very important, so I came here Report to Master." Tom said.

John Brown translated as usual, and Zhang Yinling said angrily: "Those who purge themselves will not do it at all. Besides, even if we did it, so what, those bastards are going to burn us to death!"

Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Yinling, motioned her not to talk too much, and then said: "I know about this, thank you."

"My master is being serious when he says this. I know it was me who was sorry for Sanqingguan and it was my master who saved me and forgave me. Now I really want to do something for my master to atone for my sins," Tom said sincerely.

Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "You can correct your mistakes if you know them, and there is no way to do good. Well, then you will still be a Taoist priest from now on."

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master," Tom said gratefully.

Zhang Yu had a few casual words with Tom, and then asked Stephen Lisa to take him out. By the way, he told the people in the Taoist temple that Tom had been forgiven and that everyone would still be their own people in the future.

When Tom and Stephen Lisa went out, Zhang Yinling said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Yu, why did you let him come back again! He has betrayed us and almost harmed the entire Sanqingguan!"

"I know, but we are in trouble now. Since he has repented, it is better to let him come back. After all, it is the time to employ people." Zhang Yu said calmly.

"When it comes to employing people, no one can use him," Zhang Yinling said dissatisfiedly.

"Third sister, don't say that either. Second brother is very measured." Zhu Jiuzhen said.

John Brown also nodded and said: "Uncle Master, I think there must be a reason for Master to do this. And now, we should really be in trouble."

"What trouble? The Catholic Church was destroyed. That's a good thing. They deserve it! We also let those people know how powerful we are!" Zhang Yinling said disapprovingly.

"But we did not destroy the Catholic Church." Zhang Yu said seriously.

"That was also a natural disaster!" Zhang Yinling said proudly: "They deserve it even more!"

"It's not a natural disaster." Zhang Yu said.

"What is that?" Zhang Yinling curled her lips and asked.

"It was another master who destroyed the Catholic Church!" Zhang Yu said solemnly.

"Besides, if there are experts, then someone will help us." Zhang Yinling seemed a little happy.

"I'm afraid you'll harm us if you help us," Zhang Yu said seriously.

"Harming us? How could it be possible? He has already helped us deal with the Catholic Church." Zhang Yinling said relatively simply.

"In this world, it's not that if you are strong, others must follow you, but that you have to distinguish between good and evil. Didn't you hear what Tom said, the people in the town have regarded us as devils, and they are afraid of us now. Catholic people They did plot against us, but they were sneaky and did not dare to be honest. In addition, they have cultivated a good image for a long time here. But as for us, we suddenly destroyed the Catholic church and killed two people. How can people not be afraid?" Zhang Yu said worriedly.

"We didn't destroy the Catholic church, and we didn't kill the people." Zhang Yinling said innocently.

"That's what makes it even more terrifying. Because there is a black hand behind the scenes that is plotting against us. On the one hand, it destroyed the Catholic Church, and on the other hand, it put the blame on us, making everyone think it was us. ." At this point, Zhang Yu couldn't help but clenched his fists and said: "Think about it, even the people in the town think we did it, then the Catholic Church will definitely think so too! Not surprisingly, the Catholic Church People will come to us for revenge soon!"

"So that's what happened." After hearing this, Zhang Yinling finally came to her senses and couldn't help being shocked, "Who is this person? He's too bad. He's just unjustly accusing us."

"I don't know what the other party's purpose is, but right now, we must deal with it carefully." Zhang Yu said seriously.

"Zhang Yu, what should we do now?" Zhang Yinling asked anxiously.

"Leave here and go to London." Zhang Yu said straightforwardly.

"Let's go to London. What should we do with Sanqing Temple?" Zhang Yinling said with some worry.

"Catholic people should be clear about John's strength. John is not capable of doing such a thing. They must think that I did it. If I stay here, I will implicate Sanqingguan. If I leave, their goal will be I am the one who will never come to trouble Sanqingguan. Especially since something like this just happened in the Catholic Church, it would be too obvious if the Catholic people immediately deal with Sanqingguan. In addition, John is an Englishman. If I cause trouble, it will not do them any good. So, I decided to leave Sanqingguan today and let the Catholic people come to me." Zhang Yu said seriously.

"Master." When John Brown heard this, he immediately became anxious. "Anyway, this matter happened because of me. I think you don't want to go to London anymore. You should go back to China. If they want revenge, let them come." I."
