Chapter nine hundred and eighty unearthed

After walking along the rut mark for a long time, a small path made of bluestone appeared in front of me. When the rut mark came here, it suddenly disappeared. Lu Xiaoxian looked up and saw a dilapidated deserted temple not far ahead. Lu Xiaoxian said to himself: "I guess this is the City God Temple, right?"

The two of them stepped into the temple gate and looked up at the dilapidated City God Temple. The first thing that came into their eyes were several broken clay sculptures, the left was the King of Hell, the King of Hell, and the right was the black and white impermanence. In the middle was a violet robe, soapy clothes, green face and fangs, with a purple-faced and fangs tied with hair, holding an account book, holding a red pen, and staring at a pair of ghost eyes. There were more than a dozen clay sculptures of evil ghosts with different appearances and shapes on both sides of the hall gate, with more than ten, bright colors and lifelike colors. Under the reflection of the pale moonlight, it was very hideous and terrifying.

After walking back and forth in the Senluo Hall several times, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but remember the sixteen words that the fortune teller gave him: spring and summer to winter, Yin soldiers to control grain, Fengdu Ghost Judgment, who is the master of Yan Luo?

Facing the scene in front of him, Lu Xiaoxian repeatedly chewed the meaning of these words, just as Lu Xiaoxian's eyes accidentally swept past these clay sculptures, suddenly, a trace of inspiration flashed in Lu Xiaoxian's mind.

In an instant, Lu Xiaoxian saw the suspicion and said to Leng Qing: "This City God Temple is so dilapidated, the wall clay sculptures are eroded by wind and rain, and it is difficult to distinguish the true appearance. Why are these more than a dozen statues of evil ghosts so bright?"

"That's right!"

Leng Qing walked forward and wiped his fingers on a clay sculpture of evil ghosts, and rubbed a piece of cinnabar. He looked back at Lu Xiaoxian, pulled out an iron ruler from his waist, and put it on the shoulder of the clay sculpture of evil ghosts. The true energy penetrated, and waved his arm and cut off a piece of the shoulder of the clay sculpture.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the gap on the evil ghost's shoulder, and couldn't help but a stream of air conditioning came from behind and rushed straight toward his head. It turned out that the statue was just a thin layer of mud color on the outside, and there was a person standing in it. The shoulder was cut off by Leng Qing one foot, and a large piece of it was cut off.

Seeing the scene like this, Leng Qing tore off a piece of the corner of her clothes, took off the wine bag from her waist, poured the old wine in the bag on the corner of her clothes, moistened the cloth, and wiped the face of the evil ghost statue. The oil paint on the statue was not thick, and after a few strokes, she revealed her original face, with thick eyebrows in the eight characters, no need under her chin, and a national character face, clearly Captain Sun, who guided him in the daytime, was pale at this time, and had a pair of big eyes, looking at Lu Xiaoxian, with a strange smile on his lips.

Lu Xiaoxian was shocked and sighed: "It's true!"

Leng Qing walked to a clay sculpture next to him and wiped it. Soon he showed his true face, a round face, a high nose bridge, a mustache, and still squinted his small eyes. Lu Xiaoxian was even more shocked. Isn’t this the governor of Lu Guoping who had just had a tea and greeting with him?

For a moment, Lu Xiaoxian was too lazy to think too much, took off his long gown, took the remaining wine from Leng Qing's hand, and poured it all over the long gown, rubbing the evil ghost's clay sculpture one by one, but he didn't know that just as Lu Xiaoxian was wiping the clay sculpture with all his attention, a pair of eyes were staring at Lu Xiaoxian in a corner of the City God Temple.

In just a while, most of the dozen clay sculptures were wiped, and the bodies wrapped in them were people Lu Xiaoxian had seen, including Lu Xiaoxian, who was having tea and greetings with Lu Xiaoxian.

The magistrate, there was the captain Sun who led the way, the yamen soldiers who accompanied him, the magistrate who served tea, the shopkeeper who "guests come" and the waiter. For a moment, Lu Xiaoxian felt like he was struck by lightning, and his mind was full of doubts...

What is the truth about Guzhou Official Road along the way?

Who is true?

Who is the fortune teller?

Who is the governor in the governor’s mansion?

Captain Sun, the store owner, which one is real?

"Spring and summer come to winter, Yin soldiers are in control of grain, Fengdu Ghost Judgment, who is the master of Yama?" Lu Xiaoxian murmured, "What does this mean?"

At this time, Lu Xiaoxian was completely in deep thought, took his hand and paced back and forth in the City God Hall. Leng Qing looked at him quietly, not daring to disturb his thoughts. The bleak moonlight poured into the hall through the broken window lattice, reflecting the clay sculptures in the hall more and more ferocious, as if they were about to pounce down at any time and choose someone to eat them.

I don’t know how long Lu Xiaoxian has been walking back and forth in this hall. Suddenly, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly raised his head, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered: “I understand.”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxian stepped forward, walked to the magistrate's seat, pointed at Leng Qing and said, "The most obvious thing is often the easiest to ignore. If the magistrate is in the middle and Yan Luo is on the side, isn't it ridiculous?"

After saying that, he groped back and forth on the judge's statue. Sure enough, he found a flaw. It turned out that the account book in the judge's hand could be moved.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled knowingly and flipped the account book in the judge's hand up and down. He heard a roar of the organs under the base. The judge's statue moved to the left, and the Yama statue slowly moved to the middle. At the same time, he heard the organs roaring in the wing rooms on both sides.

Lu Xiaoxian moved and went straight to the wings where the mortals on both sides. He saw that all the coffins, no matter how big or small, had their lids been lifted.

Lu Xiaoxian leaned over and looked at them one by one. Sure enough, there were men in their thirties lying in all the coffins. Without exception, their faces were black, their lips were purple, their eyes widened, and their eyes were protruding. However, some had a blurry flesh under their necks and no scars were found; some had a faint smile on their lips; and some died by the fierce palm force. All the coffins in this Yizhuang were divided into thousands.

Leng Qing was stunned for a moment, and he smiled bitterly: "These are the missing grain escort officers."

Lu Xiaoxian leaned his upper body into a coffin, looked at the corpse in the coffin, sighed, grabbed the corpse's shoulders, exerted a little force, pulled the corpse out of the coffin, gently placed it on the ground, raised his hand and waved it on the corpse's face, closed the corpse's eyes, and heard Lu Xiaoxian whisper: "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for all brothers."

After saying that, he bowed to the corpse. He turned around and stuck his arm into the coffin for a long time, and actually touched an iron ring. He pulled it hard, and the sound of the mechanism was heard, and the bottom of the coffin turned over.

Lu Xiaoxian leaned over and saw that the golden gold was covered with half of the coffin, which made Lu Xiaoxian's eyes blurred.

Seeing the current scene, Lu Xiaoxian pulled open several coffins in accordance with the law. Sure enough, there were interlayers under all the coffins, and were covered with gold. Lu Xiaoxian reached out to take out a gold ingot.

, After a closer look, the eleven big words "Fifth Year Relief of Emperor Jinglong of the Tang Dynasty" were neatly printed on the ingot.

Lu Xiaoxian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the missing silver and money are hidden here. The fortune teller said 'yin soldiers to control grain'. People die in the coffin are all the soldiers who died, which means the Yin soldiers. The word 'fighting grain' means that the missing silver and money are hidden under the bodies of the murdered officers and soldiers. As for the Ghost Judgment of Fengdu, who is the master of Yama, it means that the first mechanism in the coffin can be opened by bringing Yama and the judge into their positions. So what does the four words 'spring and summer to winter' mean? Spring and summer to winter, is it him?"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian stared at Leng Qing and said, "I have a premonition that if I want to know the answer, I have to go to the City God Palace."

When the two of them entered the City God Hall again, Lu Xiaoxian was no longer as confused as before. The other problems in his mind were solved now. The only thing they were puzzled was what the four words "spring and summer to winter" mean.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and a cold wind suddenly blew across the ruined gate of the City God Palace. "Squeaking" was extremely obscure, like crying and complaining. Looking at the Lu Magistrate, Captain Sun's body cast in the clay sculpture, Lu Xiaoxian sighed and said softly: "Governor Lu, Captain Sun, I hope that all the spirits in Tianying can help me solve the mystery and seek justice for you."

Just as Lu Xiaoxian sighed softly, he heard a hoarse old woman's voice: "Don't be anxious, sooner or later you are one of them, hahaha!"

Lu Xiaoxian was shocked. Leng Qing shone a palm when she was on her back and shouted: "Pretend to be a ghost!"

Leng Qing hit the door with his palm, and wood chips flew everywhere, shattering the ragged door to pieces. The bleak moonlight threw into the empty City God Hall, which was terrible and was clearly empty.

Lu Xiaoxian let out a long sigh, calmed down, and said loudly: "Captain Sun, oh, it's not the one standing beside me, but I don't know what to call you, so I'd better call you Captain Sun. Good method! I'm convinced, you come out!"

I heard a sigh of exclamation from a corner of the hall, and said loudly: "How do you know it's me?"

Then, a figure flashed, and a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, facing the moonlight, unable to see clearly, and could only see that the person was wearing a yamen runner's uniform and a wooden box on his back.

When Lu Xiaoxian saw that he appeared, he was not panicked and said loudly: "What's strange about this?"

After a pause, Lu Xiaoxian nodded and smiled, "You are indeed not a hunch! I have doubted you since the first meeting you. I have to admit that your words and deeds, word by word, are perfect, and you can't think of them at all. It's a pity that you have ignored the smallest detail."

The Captain Sun smiled and said, "I wish to hear it carefully!"
