Chapter 203 The strange ringtone in the middle of the night
He has no intention of telling the story behind Zhang Rui now. It was in vain for me to ask, so I didn’t ask further. But Nangong Fancong said reluctantly: “I don’t understand. What’s the matter?
So secretive?"
Zhang Rui smiled bitterly and said: "I really have my reasons, and I will definitely tell them after this case is over!"
I know that Nangong Fancong keeps asking Zhang Rui for my own good, so that I will not fall into the "trap", but since Zhang Rui doesn't tell me, even if Nangong Fancong asks, it will not help, and it will only be a waste.
time.
So I pulled Nangong Fanxong's wrist and said, "Okay, let's put this aside for now. Let's talk about the case!"
As I said that, I looked at Zhang Rui and asked, "When will we set off?"
Seeing that the topic had changed, Zhang Rui quickly answered: "Let's leave now. The car is downstairs. I'll drive and we'll go straight to the north!"
After simply packing up our things, we headed directly to the north of the provincial capital.
Along the way, Zhang Rui did not drive very fast, but continued to tell us about Ci'en Temple.
He said that after the first group of monks sent to investigate the plot disappeared, they sent two more groups of people, but later the two groups of people walked around the mountains and came out, but they did not find Ci'en Temple or the temple at all.
It seemed as if it evaporated overnight.
I asked Zhang Rui what level the people they sent later were.
Zhang Ruidao: "They are all heavenly masters, those who have established a sect or above, and one who has transcended tribulations!"
I asked again: "Didn't they encounter any barriers?"
Zhang Rui shook his head and said, "No, according to what our people told us, they didn't encounter any barriers or seals at all. The movements in the entire mountain were normal, and there weren't even any dirty things."
The temple is missing!? Zhang Rui didn’t mention this when we were in the teahouse. It seems that the first thing we have to do after now is to find the temple!
Next, we talked a lot more, but there were no clues related to the case.
Late at night, our car drove onto a mountain road. The mountain road was difficult to walk, full of potholes, and many places were built on the edge of the cliff. If we were not careful, we might have crashed the car and died.
Walking on this mountain road, Zhang Rui said: "The Ci'en Temple has been built for some years. This road was left when the Ci'en Temple was built at that time. It is located deep in the mountains and there are no good roads. In addition, the temple is not very good."
The temple is closed to all visitors, so not many people know about it, and no outsiders have visited it for many years."
We bumped along this mountain road for more than two hours, and only in the middle of the night did we reach the end of the mountain road.
At the end of the mountain road is a mountain ridge. The foundation of the temple can be vaguely seen on the mountain ridge, but the temple is missing.
Looking at the foundation, I couldn't help but ask Zhang Rui: "Are you sure this temple has been built? Look at the foundation and the stones thrown next to it. Why do I feel that the temple here is only half-built?"
Zhang Rui's understanding of this place was limited to the information. He was stunned when he saw the situation here. After reacting for a while, he said: "Could it be that the first batch of people who sent back the information got it wrong? This Ci'en Temple
Hasn’t it been repaired?”
Tang Qing also said at this time: "It's very possible. Do you still remember that we once asked the craftsmen who built this temple? As soon as the foundation was repaired, the owner of the temple changed to another group of people to continue the construction.
But we couldn't find the other person who built the temple. Maybe that group of people didn't exist at all, and the temple didn't continue to be built at all!"
Zhang Rui nodded, and then said: "But after our investigation, we found that all the bronze arrowheads were indeed transported deep into the mountains by Duan Kairui. After confirming this situation, we sent people into the mountains to investigate, and then discovered"
Ci'en Temple', if there is no Ci'en Temple here, then where were those arrowheads transported to?"
Looking at the foundation, Zhang Rui couldn't help but ask questions.
Nangong Fancong said from the side: "You guys have not prepared enough information. This case must have been going on for a while. Your work is too weak!"
Zhang Rui smiled awkwardly.
Tang Qing said on the other side: "Senior Brother Zhang, please don't make any mistakes this time. My supernatural career is all about you and this case. Don't harm me, those people you found to investigate the information."
Is it reliable?”
Zhang Rui said: "They are all from your Tang family, do you think they are reliable?"
Now it was Tang Qing's turn to feel a little embarrassed.
In any case, let's make peace with what we have come. Although there is no temple in Ci'en Temple, the foundation is still there. Maybe we can find some clues in the foundation.
We split up and started looking for clues in the foundation.
Nangong Fancong directly used the Eye of the Galaxy, while I, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing used the power of the state of mind.
The power of my state of mind increased greatly in Miaogou Village, so I adjusted my breath a little, and the power of my state of mind spread over a large area, and every brick and stone of the entire foundation was clearly explored.
During the first inspection, Nangong Fanzong said: "Zhang Rui, you just said that those people you sent in the second batch did not see this temple, didn't they even see the foundation?"
Zhang Rui nodded and said: "According to their account, when they walked to the end of the road, they saw a green hill without a temple or a foundation! They also took photos, and I have seen them. It was indeed a green hill.
There is nothing in the green hills."
Hearing this, I was even more surprised.
Including the first group of people who came here, we should be considered the third group of people. We took the same road and arrived at the same place, but the "scenery" we saw was completely different. What's going on?
Son?
The most important thing is that the only first group of people who saw the temple are still missing.
Could it be said that there will be danger after seeing that temple?
While I was thinking about this, a trace of Yin Qi fluctuation suddenly appeared within the scope of my investigation. The Yin Qi activity in that place was like spring water constantly rising up from the ground.
I quickly walked over there. At this time, Nangong Fan, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing also discovered it, and they surrounded me at the same time.
Judging from the foundation, this should be a main hall, and judging from the position of the main hall with yin energy, it should be a place where the statues of gods are placed.
Nangong Fanxong looked at it for a while and then said: "There is an arrow below!"
After she finished speaking, Zhang Rui and I immediately took out the shovels and dug. In a short time, we dug down to a depth of more than two meters. We also really dug out a box of bronze arrowheads. The yin energy overflowed from these arrowheads.
from.
After opening the box, we discovered that the arrows inside were not the rusty ones we saw in the Tomb of General Cannibal Mountain, but brand new, shining arrows.
However, I am basically certain that these arrowheads come from the general's tomb, because these arrowheads have the same aura as the arrowheads in the tomb. I remember the type of Yin Qi very clearly, and there is absolutely no mistake.
Why are these arrows buried here?
In any case, we have made a discovery, which at least proves that Zhang Rui's information is correct. Some, if not all, of the arrowheads bought by Duan Kairui were sent here.
So we should be able to find more clues here.
We continued to search, but then we couldn't find any clues anymore.
Originally, I thought we would either find Ci'en Temple or not find it when we got here, but I didn't expect that we would only find the foundation.
So all our previous plans were disrupted.
If we don't find any clues about Ci'en Temple, we will continue to search. If we find it, we will go directly to the temple to find Duan Kairui and the problem will be solved.
But now we have only found this foundation, how will the case progress next?
After searching for a while, we found no clues, so we set up a tent nearby and planned to stay here first. This case definitely cannot be completed in a day or two. We should stay here for a while.
There is an arrow here, and maybe the person who buried the arrow will come back to get it. When they come to get the arrow, we only need to catch the person who took the arrow, and things will be easy to handle.
After setting up the tents, we went back to our respective tents to sleep, but at this moment, there was a sound of "ding bells" in the distance, which was like the sound of the bells of the ancient merchant cavalry.
No, that rhythm is not the sound of livestock bells, it seems like someone is holding a bell and shaking it constantly.
This reminds me of the scene in the movie where the exorcists use bells to drive away corpses!
Anyway, the ringtone was so weird that I couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over my body. (To be continued)
