I have studied magic since I was a child, so I have some understanding of the gods enshrined in Taoism, but I have never even seen the statue enshrined in this Taoist temple.
Because he doesn't look like a traditional god at all, he looks more like a modern man, and he's an old man.
The old man's face was a little ferocious, his mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to swallow something, and his hands were raised high, as if he was welcoming visitors from the sky.
When I saw this statue, I couldn't help but frown and thought to myself, what the hell is this place doing? The name of this place is Chaotian Temple, but what is enshrined is not the true Taoist god, but a guy who doesn't know where he came from.
, this is too strange.
Seeing this, I became more convinced that there was something wrong with this Taoist temple.
Looking at the Taoist who came over, Xu Yang frowned slightly, but he did not identify himself. He just nodded to the Taoist and said, "Hello Taoist, we heard that this Taoist temple is very efficacious, so we went here specially today.
Come to offer incense."
Xu Yang said it very politely, and there was no problem, because most Taoist temples earn money from their guests.
But who knew that the Taoist did not let him go after hearing what Xu Yang said. Instead, he shook his head gently and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our Chaotian Temple is not open to the public."
Hearing his words, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking to myself, what the hell is going on? There are Taoist temples that are not open to the public, so why do they open them?
"Your Taoist temple is not open to the public?" Xu Yang asked him with confusion.
The Taoist nodded and said: "Our Taoist temple is quite special. It was built with private investment from Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu has set a rule that the Taoist temple is not open to the public, except for the most devout believers."
After he finished speaking, a group of five or six people walked through the hall. The leader in front was also a Taoist priest. They walked to that special statue and all knelt down, with their heads on the ground and their hands palms facing up.
, kneeling respectfully.
"From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from the one you love, there is no worry or fear." The leading Taoist priest muttered in a low voice.
As his voice fell, the five or six devout believers knelt on the ground and began to recite.
The Taoist priest was sitting in front of the statue. He didn't look very old, only twenty-five years old. He was fair-skinned and looked like a frail scholar.
At this time, he clearly noticed us and looked up at us.
I was also staring at him. The Taoist didn't speak, he just smiled and nodded to me, and then looked away.
But when he looked away, the pupils in those eyes strangely moved to the left at the same time, and then another pupil reappeared in the eyes.
This scene is very strange, as if there are two pupils in his eyes switching at will.
My heart skipped a beat and I stared at him closely, not sure if I was just being blinded or if this man really had two pupils in his eyes!
"What makes you the most devout believer?" Xu Yang frowned and said.
"I don't know this, because Mr. Liu ordered this." The middle-aged Taoist smiled slightly.
I knew that Mr. Liu he was talking about must be the overseas Chinese who returned to China, Liu Tiande.
Hearing the Taoist's words, Xu Yang's brows furrowed even more tightly and he put his hand into his pocket. I knew that he was angry now and wanted to reveal his identity as a policeman and break in.
I quickly stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and shook my head at him.
"Excuse me, do you have anything else? If nothing happens, please come back." The middle-aged Taoist looked at us with a slight smile and was already chasing away the guests.
I also smiled at him and said: "I originally wanted to offer incense sincerely, but I didn't expect that the threshold for visiting a temple would be so high. I'm really a little disappointed."
The middle-aged Taoist didn't speak at all, he just looked at me with a smile.
This guy looked like he couldn't get in, which made me feel helpless. I knew that I couldn't get in to Chaotian Temple today.
"Then say goodbye." I nodded to him, then pulled Xu Yang and Duanmuqing and turned around to leave.
"What's going on? Why didn't you let me reveal my identity just now?" Xu Yang asked me in confusion in the car.
I shook my head and said, "It's useless, he won't let you in."
"Damn it, if you don't let me in, I'll force my way in. I'm a policeman and I have a gun!" Xu Yang couldn't help but say a curse word.
I glanced at him and understood how he felt now. The successive cases had put him under a lot of pressure, and these cases were so weird that there was no reasonable explanation. Xu Yang's nerves were probably about to collapse.
.
"It's very dangerous in there. If we force our way in, something will happen." I said.
I didn't lie to Xu Yang, because I felt a danger at the gate of the Taoist temple. The danger was very strong. I can guarantee that if we forced our way in, something bad would happen.
"Yes, I feel it too, that Taoist temple is not simple." Duanmu Qing said next to him.
Hearing his words, Xu Yang glanced at me, then at Duanmuqing, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "I'm going to call someone right now to turn this Taoist temple upside down."
It’s upside down, I don’t believe they can stop it!”
I glanced at Xu Yang and said to myself that he was really confused by his anger. You must know that this Taoist temple was funded by the overseas Chinese Liu Tiande. His status is quite special. Even if his status is not special, we have no evidence now.
Without a search warrant, it is impossible to break in.
"Captain Xu, we have no evidence." I said.
After hearing my words, Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, and punched the steering wheel so hard that the veins on his head bulged.
After a series of strange cases, he finally has some clues, but he still can't get into this ghost place, so it's no wonder that he loses control of his emotions.
"Then what should we do? Can we just wait like this?" Xu Yang said helplessly.
"Since we can't go in during the day, we have to wait until night, and we can go in secretly at night." I looked at the Taoist temple and said softly.
The wall of this Taoist temple is not too high and I can easily climb it. Since I can't enter during the day, I have to wait until night to sneak in.
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then drove the car to a nearby town and found a restaurant to eat and rest.
"Big ears, what kind of gods are enshrined in that ghost Taoist temple? Why the hell have I never seen them before?" Duanmuqing asked me at the dinner table, confused.
I shook my head, because I had never seen that statue before. To be precise, it was not a statue of a god, but more like a statue of a person.
Thinking of this, my heart moved involuntarily. I picked up my phone and entered Liu Tiande's name and searched.
Suddenly, a photo of an old man appeared on the phone.
Although the old man in the photo is well-dressed, he is already very old. His face is covered with age spots, his face is full of wrinkles, and only his eyes are shining.
This old man is Liu Tiande.
There is Liu Tiande's information on it. He was originally from Jishui, but he followed his father to Nanyang when he was four years old. He has been working hard in Southeast Asia for so many years and established the Tiande Group with assets of nearly 10 billion.
Two years ago, Liu Tiander returned to his hometown and returned to Jishui. He invested in many projects. He also invested in and built the Chaotian Temple.
Looking at Liu Tiande in the photo, I couldn't help but frown, because no matter how I looked at it, his face was very similar to the statue in the Taoist temple.
Could it be that the statue of the god in the main hall is himself, and the people worshiped by the believers are also him?
Thinking of this, I can't believe it, because Liu Tiande is not dead yet, he is still alive, how could he be worshiped as a god?
Even if he dies, what qualifications does he have to be respected as a god?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was not right. I turned to Xu Yang and said, "Captain Xu, please check when was the last time Liu Tiande appeared in public."
Hearing what I said, Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, because Liu Tiande's identity was too special after all, and he didn't expect that I would ask him to investigate Liu Tiande.
But Xu Yang was not a timid person, so he picked up the phone and made a call.
Not long after, the call came back.
Putting down the phone, Xu Yang said to me: "I found out. Liu Tiande's last public appearance was a month ago. A charity party was held in Jishui that day. Liu Tiande also spoke. Since then, he has not appeared again."
I nodded and started searching for news about the charity gala on my phone.
Not long after, I finally found a photo of the scene, and I saw Liu Tiande standing in the middle with a smile, and five people stood beside him.
Looking at the five people beside him, I couldn't help but take a breath, because three of the five people were the three deceased who had died one after another!
I didn't know the other two people. Behind them stood a young Taoist priest. He was the Taoist priest with the weird two pupils in the Taoist temple hall!
I stared at Liu Tiande in the photo. Although he was smiling, I could see that his originally sharp eyes had become a little cloudy, the age spots on his face were darker, and the corners of his eyes were drooping.
La, this is the face of someone who is about to live a long life.
Judging from his appearance, Liu Tiande would not have survived more than half a month if nothing unexpected happened!
But now a month has passed and there is no news of Liu Tiande's death, which proves that he is still alive.
The three people who died one after another, the weird Chaotian Guan, and Liu Tiande who was supposed to be dead, all the information are connected together. I am almost certain that these cases are related to Liu Tiande.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to refine the Five Elements Soul, he wants to become an immortal!
Thinking of this, I frowned tightly. For some reason, the strange eyes of the young Taoist priest in the Taoist temple flashed through my mind.
