When the old nun saw this, she looked a little flustered and stopped her, saying:
"No, you can't go in!"
The Taoist priest frowned slightly, why couldn't he go in? There must be something fishy going on.
However, Xu Ce pulled the clothes of Taoist priest Yimei and shook his head, because he knew that the old nun would definitely explain it next.
Seeing that the old nun was acting as he expected, she continued:
"This is the priest's retreat room, and I don't even have the key."
Taoist Master Yimei is an honest man, so he said directly:
"This lock looks like it has been around for a long time. It is more green than a vegetable. It opens as soon as I touch it."
The old nun shook her head and said:
"No, this is the most solemn holy place in the entire church. Doing this is disrespectful to God."
Taoist priest Yi Mei frowned again, but soon relaxed it. Since it is not convenient to open it directly, let's use a trick.
Moreover, since Xu Ce specifically pointed out this room to him, and he also felt that this room was closed all year round, without any light, and there was a half-palm gap above the door panel. If there were bats, it could be easily
Fly in easily.
Taoist priest Yimei nodded and said:
"Oh, that's it, then we won't bother you."
"Okay, let's continue to the second floor."
The moment Taoist Master Yimei turned around, he took out a piece of yellow talisman paper in his hand and secretly cast a fire talisman. The yellow talisman paper instantly ignited. At the same time, he quickly threw it towards the ground, and then
With a kick of his toes, he kicked in through the gap between the door panel and the ground.
At this time, it was Xu Ce's turn to perform. Xu Ce shrugged his nose and said strangely:
"Auntie, something seems wrong. Can you smell it? What does it smell like?
By the way, something is burnt or on fire somewhere!"
Xu Ce's expression was very exaggerated, then he turned his head and looked at the room again, and said loudly:
"Auntie, it seems like there's a fire in there!"
After being reminded, the old nun also smelled the burnt smell. She turned around and saw a red light coming from the gap, and said anxiously:
"Oh, it's really on fire, what should I do?"
Although the old nun is very tough, after her courage has passed, she is still a woman, and it is difficult to remain calm when encountering such a thing.
"What should I do? It's on fire. Put out the fire. Yes, put out the fire!"
Xu Ce picked up a big stone from the ground with a smile and handed it to the old nun.
The old nun didn't think much at all. Now she only had one thought, which was to break the door lock, rush in, and put out the fire!
Holy land, it cannot be burned by fire, otherwise she will have sinned.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the lock was easily broken and fell to the ground in pieces.
The lotus leaves on one side of the door frame had long since rotted and could not bear the weight of the door panel. With a crunch, they fell directly to the ground, just in time to press the yellow talisman paper that was about to burn out on the ground.
No clothes to reveal anything.
The door panel that was thrown down immediately stirred up clouds of dust, causing everyone to cough.
When the dust dispersed, the old nun was about to lift the door panel to check the source of the fire below, but Xu Ce changed the subject and said:
"Auntie, you are so lucky. The flames were extinguished by the door panel. Fortunately, the door opened in time, otherwise it would have been a big disaster.
By the way, auntie, why are there so many garlic hanging in this room?"
Xu Ce looked up at the string of plans with a curious look on his face.
Of course, it's not that Xu Ce doesn't know the function of garlic, he does, and he asked completely on purpose.
Garlic, in the Western mythical and magical world, has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.
In fact, it is said that garlic has this effect in some places in the East. As for where it was spread to, there is no way to verify it.
This made Xu Ce very confused. Why is garlic such a delicious thing used to ward off evil spirits?
The evil devil said that it is really pitiful to be unable to eat garlic.
After hearing what Xu Ce said, Taoist priest Yimei was also very curious. He pinched a shriveled and empty garlic shell and asked:
"Was this room used to be the kitchen?"
The role of garlic is not so particular in the Maoshan lineage. It is a matter of discretion. But since it is a kitchen, why has it become a place for priests to pray, and it is also the most sacred holy place.
Taoist Priest Yimei has a lot of doubts in his mind. Do foreign monks live in the kitchen?
At this time, Xu Ce secretly laughed at the side. The serious question asked by the Taoist priest looked so interesting.
Soon, the old nun gave the answer and said:
"No, how could it be the kitchen? These are all garlic, used to ward off evil spirits."
Taoist priest Yimei nodded suddenly, "So that's it. Let's just say that everyone is a practitioner. To be honest, I have never heard of anyone who likes to live in the kitchen."
"Hey, what's over there?"
After Xu Ce entered the room, he looked around and soon found the "thing" he was looking for, a skeleton kneeling on the ground.
There was a wooden cross stuck on the chest of this skeleton, and it was also covered with a rotten robe, and a thick Bible fell in front of it.
All the image information points were matched, and Xu Ce was secretly happy. This corpse was exactly the skeleton of Father Qi he was looking for!
Now that the location of the bones has been found, the next step is to get the bones out and bury them.
The old nun and Taoist priest Yimei both looked for Xu Ce's voice.
"ah!"
The old nun screamed instinctively, and then hid behind Taoist priest Yimei, with a look of fear on her face. She could risk her life to confront Liu Erha, but when she really encountered such a withered bone, her first reaction was
Still scared, normal people would react like this.
However, Taoist Master Yimei is engaged in professional business related to dead people, demons and ghosts, but everything is calm, and his face is just slightly surprised.
"Let's go over and take a look."
The Taoist priest with an eyebrow said calmly, and then walked forward.
After taking two steps, he turned around and looked at the glass photo frame on the wall, pretending to be curious and said:
"Hey, it's strange. The clothes in this photo are exactly the same as the clothes on the corpse?
Look, do you know this person?"
While speaking, Taoist Priest Yimei took off the photo frame and handed it to the old nun.
The old nun took one look at it, recognized it, and said incredulously:
"Oh my god, how is that possible? He is Father Qi, the previous missionary of this church!"
At this time, after confirming the identity of the corpse, the old nun suddenly became less afraid and her face became solemn. She also walked towards the corpse, made a praying gesture with her hands, and finally knelt in front of the corpse.
, said with admiration:
"It turns out that you didn't give up your priesthood. The church thought you were absent without permission. In fact, you have been fighting the devil here. I will help you explain to the church. Rest in peace, Father Pray..."
