9 The Dongying Dunjia Technique made a continuous sound of "click, click". Except for Xiao Lai and Hawke, all the other members of the Sharpshooter Club drew their guns in their hands and stared at me eagerly. These people are all Wang Jiangnan's subordinates. Of course,
I want to defend him, but it is obvious at this moment that Wang Jiangnan does not have the arrogance to be tough to the end. Perhaps my action this morning has shocked him.
"I'm very tired and don't want to say..." His voice was very low.
"No, you have to say it - I have some unique information, and if we all work together, we will definitely be able to find her..." At least I personally experienced Guan Baoling's first disappearance and reappearance, which Wang Jiangnan cannot match.
"Haha, found her? From 11 o'clock in the morning until now, we have searched every corner of Fengqiao Temple, and we can't find her at all, and we can't find her. No one has seen her, how can we find her?
Where to look for it? I really doubt-" He pointed towards the dark temple, "There is an invisible demon here, and it swallowed her in one mouthful, so there are no clues that can be used..."
Wang Jiangnan suffered a severe blow and may have been on the verge of mental collapse.
He and Hawke both mentioned that "no one has seen her". What does this mean? I gradually began to feel anxious. Fortunately, Wang Jiangnan was cooperative. He cleared his throat and began to describe the entire story of Guan Baoling's disappearance - "
At ten o'clock in the morning, I sent Miss Guan over. She was in a very depressed mood, of course because you refused to sell the villa. When she entered the temple, I was willing to accompany her, but she refused.
She said she just went to the Tower of the Dead to make a wish, and then went to the Well of Spirits to see God’s instructions before returning. It would take no more than twenty minutes in total..."
This route is pretty much what I expected. Guan Baoling is superstitious about the magic of the "Well of Psychics", so she comes to Fenggeo Temple again and again, and before she leaves, she never forgets to come there one last time.
Hawke walked away and was talking to someone on the phone, his voice was very low.
The people from the Gunslingers Association also put away their firearms and scattered them around the car to act as a temporary guard. At this time, the surroundings were dark and the sea breeze was blowing. Only Wang Jiangnan and I were standing in the aperture of the battery lamp, which looked like a scene.
The only protagonist in the stage play.
"I waited in the car, and twenty minutes passed quickly, but she didn't come back. I thought maybe I was talking to the monks in the temple, so I wasted the time, so I continued to wait until eleven o'clock.
I couldn't help but get out of the car and go into the temple to look for her."
Wang Jiangnan pointed to the temple door again: "After I entered, I bypassed the Well of Spirits and went under the Tower of the Dead first. I didn't meet anyone along the way, and I didn't see Miss Guan. I immediately took out my phone and dialed her number.
But then I remembered that she didn’t bring a phone..."
Guan Baoling hid her phone number from everyone. Only Xiao Kereng secretly saw her making phone calls.
"I called people loudly, and a welcoming monk who was responsible for receiving guests came out and scolded me, but... the result was that no one saw her coming in. While I was waiting for an hour, the monks gathered at the shrine.
Master Bi was reciting sutras and enlightening in the marrow washing hall, but the front yard was completely empty..."
I finally understood what "no one saw" meant, that is to say, all the monks were still working hard to awaken Tengjia, putting aside other matters in the temple.
There was no one in the front yard, so it was understandable that the monk couldn't tell where Guan Baoling was, but where had she gone?
From the temple gate to the "Well of Spirits" and then to the "Tower of the Dead", it is only a few hundred meters away. Twenty minutes is enough to go back and forth. And I understand that she has walked this journey more than three or five times.
, this time, what went wrong?
The mysterious disappearance that no one saw was similar to the last disappearance in the bathroom. The strange thing is, why does every disappearance happen to Guan Baoling? Could it be that there is something special hidden in her body?
Mysterious qualities?
Wang Jiangnan's narrative is very long, but there is only one core question - "After Guan Baoling entered the temple, no one saw her."
If the monk is telling the truth, it can only be assumed that Guan Baoling disappeared after entering the temple and encountered an accident before coming into contact with others. According to Wang Jiangnan's judgment, there are only two places where Guan Baoling will go, "The Spiritual Communion".
"Well" and "Tower of the Dead", he went to these two places to search carefully, and went straight to the top of the tower, but found nothing at all.
Xiao Lai suddenly interrupted: "Brother Thirteen, is there another place inside Fengkou Temple that has not been searched?"
I also want to find that place, which is the "meditation hall" where Tanano Shenxiu retreats and practices. Even strangers can't go there to take a look, let alone a large-scale search operation.
Wang Jiangnan nodded helplessly: "Master Shenbi didn't allow it, so Hawke sent a few brothers to sneak over, but they were all blocked by the Qimen formation, and there was nothing they could do."
He has no time to care about Xiao Lai and me coming to Fengcut Temple. The biggest headache for him at the moment is probably that once the tycoon discovers that Guan Baoling is missing, he will certainly attack him to investigate, which he cannot afford.
"There are at least twelve layers of Dongying Dunjia hidden in that place. Ordinary people can't crack it at all, so they can't find a way to enter. Brother Thirteen, Mr. Feng, I think if we can invite Mr. Zhang Baisen in the villa to participate in this matter
, it might go more smoothly." Xiao Lai's ability to think about problems is very astute, and when it comes to the Qimen Five Elements Formation, it is the specialty of Zhang Baisen and the Shao brothers.
Wang Jiangnan perked up: "I'll call him right away..."
People are panicked and ignorant. In this situation, he wants to try any path pointed out by others, but his own brain can no longer move.
Wang Jiangnan had just taken out the phone, and Hawke was already waving from afar: "Brother Thirteen, there is no need to call. I have already spoken to Mr. Zhang on the phone. Well... He said that we should go back to the villa to discuss it in the long term. Don't act too hastily. Before we are sure,
Before Miss falls into the ambush of the Dunjia Technique, everyone must not blindly make enemies."
He hurried over and asked my opinion in a low voice again: "Mr. Feng, what do you think?"
After being busy for half an afternoon, this group of people must be tired and hungry. It seems futile to stay here distractedly. I can only smile bitterly: "Okay, you go back, I will stay for a while and see if I can think of a solution."
?”
All I can do is wait for Guan Baoling to appear automatically, or calculate the path she has taken, and walk it several times myself to see if I am lucky enough to disappear with her.
Hawke raised the phone in his hand in embarrassment and arranged for the people from the Sharpshooter Club to get in the car: "Everyone retreat and go back to the villa."
Before Wang Jiangnan got in the car, he looked at the dark temple and suddenly sighed three times. By this time, he should have woken up from his dream of an affair, right? Next, it is best to think about how to deal with the tycoon's pursuit... See
Looking at his dejected look, I couldn't laugh at all.
Xiao Lai has been standing behind me, standing on my side with a clear attitude. This move will definitely cause dissatisfaction among others, and even Hawke has become cold to him: "Xiao Lai, don't let Mr. Feng be involved in danger, otherwise
, come and see you."
The group of people started their cars and went down the mountain, and the beams of car lights once again pierced the tranquility of Muwanzhoushan night. Soon, the roar of the car's engine disappeared on the winding mountain road, and it resumed in front of the steps.
Deadly silence.
Xiao Lai sat down on the steps, lit the lighter, lit a cigarette, and puffed out the smoke silently.
"Could Miss Guan's disappearance be related to the 'Meditation Hall'? I don't think so!" Xiao Lai raised his head and spat out these words. Along with the wisps of smoke, his face was as calm as a statue.
I nodded and motioned for him to continue. He knew more about the details of Fengqiao Temple than I did.
"There are many ambushes around the 'Meditation Hall' within a radius of 100 meters. Even the monks in the temple don't know how to pass these formations. Only two low-level fire-headed monks who deliver food can get Yan Ye's permission.
Following his instructions using the 'Thousand Miles of Sound' Kung Fu, he delivered the meal ten steps away from the door. In other words, it was extremely difficult for Ms. Guan to pass through the Armor-Defying Formation without anyone's guidance.
It is simply impossible to reach the interior of the 'Meditation Hall' in a short time."
I let him continue without comment. Since Yano Shenxiu could turn his younger brother into himself and instill a huge amount of tomb robbing knowledge and martial arts - his own martial arts must be even more amazing. So, is it possible that he suddenly
Appeared and kidnapped Guan Baoling?
Xiao Lai went on to deny my assumption: "Mr. Feng, we can suspect that Miss Guan was kidnapped by Yan Ye, but thinking about it, this is the sixth or seventh time that Miss Guan has come to Fengcut Temple. Why?
Tan Ye has never taken action before, but he has to wait until Brother Thirteen is waiting outside? This point cannot be justified at all. At least in this part of Hokkaido, no one dares to fight against the sharp gun..."
What he undoubtedly meant was that there was no need to disturb Gu Ye in the "Meditation Hall" at all.
I paced back and forth in front of the steps, my thoughts turning into a mess of weeds: "Is all we can do is wait? If Guan Baoling never appears again, what's the point of this most passive waiting?"
"Xiao Lai, where do you think Miss Guan went?" I wanted to hear his opinion and at the same time asked him to enter the temple again.
We just arrived at the "Well of Spirits", and this time we went straight to the "Tower of the Dead". In my hunch, the magic of Fengge Temple should be around this sacred water that often appears for no reason.
of pagoda.
"Mr. Feng, bizarre things should have bizarre explanations. There is a myth and legend about the 'Psychic Well'. Maybe you have heard of it..."
Xiaolai followed me closely, and had already taken out a mini-submachine gun in his right hand, patrolling around vigilantly. No one came out to stop him. Maybe Toka's life and death firmly occupied the focus of Fengge Temple's activities at present, and everyone still
Let’s meditate together in the “Marrow Cleansing Hall”!
I have read all the legendary materials about the "Well of Psychics", but I don't know which one he is talking about.
In less than three minutes, we arrived at the patio where the "Tower of the Dead" is located. Of course, the underground was clean and there was no water seeping out.
The pagoda at night is not as solemn and solemn as it is during the day, but gives people an inexplicable and strange feeling. Especially when I look up to the top of the pagoda, I feel that it is more like a huge stone tablet, or a tombstone.
——The tombstone standing on the "Tomb of the Undersea God".
Without any pause, I walked directly to the first floor of the pagoda, ready to climb to the top to have a look.
After entering the pagoda, Xiao Lai suddenly laughed: "Mr. Feng, do you believe in praying to heaven?"
He stopped in the center of the tomb on the first floor, put one hand on his chest, facing the southwest, and then said jokingly: "Many people follow this way of praying. It is said that they can communicate with the gods spiritually, express their wishes, and then
If you go to the 'Psychic Well' and take a photo, you will be able to get your own future ambitions - do you believe it?"
I shook my head: "I don't believe it."
If this method can be effective, then why are everyone still working hard in shopping malls and battlefields? Why don't we all come here to pray. Those who should be president will be president, those who should be prisoners will be prisoners, and the family's billions will be...
I always believe that destiny is in my own hands, and other external factors are just a driving force or resistance and have little impact.
Xiao Lai bowed deeply and his face gradually became serious.
An ancient Chinese proverb says that worshiping gods is as if they are there. Standing in the habitat of gods, of course you cannot say disrespectful words to gods. I turned around to go up the stairs, and my eyes fell on the weird white house in the bushes on the hillside again.
It has been three years. What exactly does Yano Shenxiu want to understand? What can he understand?
In the night, all the dead branches of the shrubs showed an eerie silver-gray color, as if they were covered with glittering silver powder. Especially the three-story house did not have any windows at all, and only one door on the first floor was open and could only accommodate one person.
The small door that people pass through - the house does not look like a house, but looks like a unique lime kiln in northern China.
"Come on, let's go up?"
Xiao Lai's ritual was still not completed, so I had to climb the stairs alone.
The width and height of each step are 40 centimeters, and they are all made of ruby white stone slabs, which are solid and stable. The stone walls on both sides exude a faint moisture, and even the air carries a strange fishy smell.
After climbing all the way to the seventh floor, I walked out of the tower, holding on to the stone fence and looking towards the north.
There were lights flickering in the direction of the "Marrow Washing Hall", while the rest of the courtyard was dark, as if all the monks in the temple now called that courtyard their home.
I suspect that these monks are just wasting their time. At least, the blabbering scriptures will not help Tengjia wake up at all. They don’t understand the "Vajra Lion Roar" Kung Fu of Shaolin Temple. The "shout" method may be more effective than chanting scriptures.
It worked - now, my only hope lies in the spell left by Yelan, but this fragile hope cannot stand the test. I dare not try it easily, for fear that the spell will be ineffective and I will give up completely. The spell awakens the vine.
The possibility of Jia is about one in tens of thousands. Maybe I should try the "Marrow Cleansing Hall" after finishing the search for Guan Baoling?
Here, it is already the highest point of Fengke Temple and even the entire Muwan Zhoushan. If it were not blocked by the darkness, I would be able to have a clear view of the surrounding scenery.
The stones on the fence were extremely cold, and there was a fishy smell of moisture everywhere rolling into my nose. The mountain wind was several times stronger than on the ground, making it difficult to open my eyes.
.
After climbing directly to the top of the pagoda from the first floor, I discovered another weird thing about the pagoda - Japanese temples and tower construction techniques faithfully continued the architectural characteristics of China's prosperous Tang Dynasty, which were extremely complex and exquisite.
Buddhist culture is an important part of Japanese culture and has an important influence on Japanese literature, music, art and daily life.
I have been to the three famous ancient capitals of Kyoto, Nara and Kamakura, Kinkaku-ji Temple, Daitoku-ji Temple, Sanzen-in Temple, Jakko-in Temple, Toshodai-ji Temple, Kaikosan Jisho-in Temple, Senso-ji Temple and other temples, and visited them more than once.
All of them are beautifully decorated and picturesque.
As the most famous temple in Hokkaido, the construction craftsmanship of this pagoda seems to be too rough, which is not commensurate with the reputation of the temple. It can be said that any pagoda in any temple in Japan is better than this one.
"Tower of the Dead" looks more luxurious and majestic.
When I came along just now, I rarely even saw the usual hanging lotus reliefs on pagodas - "What does this mean? Could it be that the 'Tower of the Dead' was built in a hurry without even having time to prepare these most commonly used carvings?"
I heard someone slowly coming up and subconsciously shouted: "Xiao Lai, do you think this tower is weird?"
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and I turned around sharply. A figure had floated out of the door like smoke. He was wearing a strange bamboo hat on his head, and the bamboo hat was covered with a black gauze nearly one meter long, covering his face.
Shoulders and chest are all covered.
In a tenth of a second, I already had the short gun in my hand, the bullet loaded, and pointed it at the person's eyebrows.
A flash of cold light flashed by, and a strange long sword appeared in the opponent's hand, pointing at me.
