Chapter 31 West Bank of Qinghe River, Lingzhu Temple
Put down the River God File.
Jiang Chaoge was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to look through other files and records.
…
On the west bank of Qinghe River, there is a cliff, and a temple is built on the cliff.
Because an old monk in the temple gave birth to a relic after he sat down, it was green and crystal clear and could avoid water, so the temple got its name: Lingzhu Temple.
When the incense cauldron is at its peak, there are three thousand believers every day, and it is extremely efficacious. People who pray often say that they can get children, wealth, and wives in the temple.
In the 332nd year of the Qin Dynasty, one hundred and eight monks in the temple disappeared overnight. After repeated inspections by the government, there was no sign of fighting or blood in the temple.
Therefore, we reported it to the Night Detective Department, which sent night watchmen there, but to no avail.
The next year, a monk came from the west and reopened the temple. Although it was no longer at its peak, it was still popular, and there were no more unsolved cases. The matter of Lingzhu Temple has now become a mystery.
…
There is a red wall in the south of Huai'an. Every night at midnight, a crying sound can be heard, sometimes like a baby, sometimes like a woman, sometimes like a cat.
There was once a person who watched the wall for three days and went crazy.
…
Jiang Chaoge looked all the way through. There were a lot of files in the Night Detective Department, which showed that strange things happened in this world from time to time.
Moreover, these are only the remaining files, and we don’t know how many new files have been added.
He looked and looked...
And prepare to keep reading in the redemption library.
Don’t leave until you finish reading!
Of course, Jiang Erlang is the only one who won't leave.
Jiang Chaoge immediately separated a soul to see if Liang Ping'an had gained anything.
As soon as he walked to the right, he saw Liang Ping'an walking out with empty hands and a depressed look on his face: "Unlucky, they are all big cases, none of them suit me!"
However, Liang Ping'an still seemed a little unwilling to accept it. When he was at the door, he asked again: "Brother Wu, is this all the new file? Is there anything else?"
"There is one thing, it was just sent over and has not been recorded yet." The guard at the door, who was called Brother Wu, replied.
"Really? Show me quickly!" Liang Pingan was overjoyed.
"No, it hasn't been recorded yet."
"I'm just looking at it, not taking it away." Liang Ping'an said, taking out a piece of silver from his arms and handing it over.
The gatekeeper quickly took the money, and then took out a file from the wooden case beside him, spread it out with his hands, and placed it in front of Liang Pingan.
Liang Ping'an started to look at it immediately.
Jiang Chaoge also approached.
It is indeed a newly sent dossier, and the cases above are very hot.
The general meaning is that in recent months, there was a young lady from her maternal family who often thought about a husband who wanted to marry her. She thought about her day and night, and she became thinner. She asked countless doctors to treat her, but to no avail, so she asked someone to ask for help.
When I arrived at the Night Detective Department, I hoped to exorcise the evil spirits.
After reading this, Liang Pingan's face became more and more joyful: "That's right, only I, Liang Pingan, can solve such unsolved cases!"
"An unsolved case? It's just a small case of evil spirits." The gatekeeper gave Liang Ping'an a contemptuous look.
"Small case? Brother Wu, please don't brag. If it were you, how would you solve this unsolved case?" Liang Ping'an was obviously unconvinced.
The gatekeeper glanced at Liang Pingan again. He seemed to know Liang Pingan's little thoughts, and he didn't hesitate to extend a hand.
Liang Pingan took out another ingot of silver from his arms and put it into the gatekeeper's hand.
The gatekeeper nodded with satisfaction and said: "The evil ghost is possessed because he just wants to have a ghost marriage. He can disguise himself as a doctor, use the opportunity of diagnosing the pulse to get close, and then stab him with an ebony sword!"
"Then... what if you stab someone to death?" Liang Ping'an opened his mouth.
"Are you stupid? Won't you just stab the shoulder? Stab out the ghost with one sword, and then shine it with the Xuan Yin Mirror. Remember, don't forget to add a few more swords after you shine it!"
"Sure!" Liang Ping'an's eyes lit up.
But when Jiang Chaoge looked at Liang Pingan's appearance, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this guy's luck was simply unlucky.
The case was indeed a simple one, but the location of the foreigner's family happened to be next to the weird Lingzhu Temple. Out of intuition, he felt that the case might not be simple.
Of course, it may be that he is overthinking. After all, there has been no case in Lingzhu Temple for more than a year. Maybe nothing happened?
"Has Erlang left?" Liang Ping'an did not forget Jiang Erlang because of his joy.
"No," replied the gatekeeper.
"Okay, let Erlang continue to watch here. This case is too difficult and I must handle it immediately!" Liang Ping'an nodded, turned and walked out.
Jiang Chaoge thought for a moment and followed.
Because, he originally planned to go to Qinghe River to check. After all, Miss Zhou family fell in Qinghe River, and the 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver also fell in Qinghe River.
As this family member and the Lingzhu Temple are both by the Qing River, this trip was a smooth one.
"Is it really the river god who caused Ms. Zhou's fall into the river?"
When Jiang Chaoge heard the detectives talk about it, he believed it. However, after reading the He Shen Zong volume, he became a little confused.
This river god has such a high level of prowess, he may not necessarily take action against Miss Zhou, right?
Imps can harm people!
But the real ghost king will not take action directly!
He felt that... there might be other hidden stories in this matter, so he planned to go to the river to try his luck and see if there were any ghosts of ghosts who drowned in the river. Can he capture two of them for fun?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Liang Pingan go straight to another attic after leaving the case and redeeming the treasury.
This loft has only three floors.
There are no wooden signs hanging on it.
After Jiang Chaoge followed Liang Ping'an and walked in, he discovered that there were three large wooden shelves in the attic, with various strange utensils placed on the wooden shelves.
In front of the wooden frame, an old man in white robe was yawning.
Isn't he from the Night Detective Department? Why would someone wear a white robe? Jiang Chaoge was a little curious.
But Liang Ping'an seemed to be used to it. As soon as he entered the building, he shouted: "Old man Li, I'm here again."
"Thirty-five taels of Xuanyin Mirror and forty-seven taels of ebony sword." Old Man Li glanced at Liang Ping'an and stretched out his hand.
"Add another soul lamp!"
"Soul lamp? Have you been beaten to death once?"
"Ah... I just accidentally broke it. How could I be killed?"
"Oh, one hundred and seventy taels of inferior soul lanterns."
"Give me something better this time, safe and sound!"
"Better? One thousand five hundred taels, which guarantees three hours."
"So expensive? Can it be cheaper?"
"A lot of money."
"..."
So, with a heartbroken look on his face, Liang Ping'an took out two silver notes and exchanged them for a 'three-piece ghost hunting set', a mysterious mirror, an ebony sword, and two mother-and-son soul lamps.
Jiang Chaoge had seen this three-piece suit in Xiaoshan Village, so it was not surprising.
However, Liang Ping'an seemed a little angry.
As soon as he walked out of the attic, he started to curse: "These 'Qing Liang Zao' bastards! They are occupying my position in the Night Detective Department, even if they don't pay the protection fee, they are so evil!"
Cursing, Liang Pingan came to a pavilion again.
In front of the pavilion, two maids, one black and one white, were standing in front of the stone stairs. Their faces were painted with bright red rouge, and their cherry-red mouths were split upwards, as if they were giving out a sinister sneer.
Jiang Chaoge looked at the two maids and was frightened.
What the hell?
Looks a little bit less human!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a woman's voice coming from the pavilion.
"My cousin came out alone? Is Jiang Erlang gone?"
"I haven't left yet. Brother Jiang is still reading the files in the redemption library."
"What file was he reading?"
"How would I know?"
"Then what is my cousin doing here?"
"Of course I asked my cousin to help me keep the soul lamp."
"You...are going to take the test again?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure of it this time. I already have a plan in mind to deal with that ghost. I'm sure there won't be any more mistakes!" Liang Ping'an patted his chest, very confident.
"Then why do you still want me to help you keep the soul lamp?"
"It's safe!" Liang Ping'an's face turned slightly red: "My cousin knows, your cousin and I are always cautious in doing things. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"
"Okay, so where are you going this time?"
"My house is just next to Lingzhu Temple. I remember that my cousin went to Lingzhu Temple to offer incense once a month ago, right? Since it is at the foot of Buddhist Mountain, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Well, then cousin, let's go to Lingzhu Temple to ask for a peace charm first. It's safer this way."
"Huh? What my cousin said makes sense!"
"Sister Ji said it's not convenient to see you now, so just give the soul lamp to Hei Ling."
"good."
Liang Ping'an nodded, took out the sub-lantern of the soul lamp, handed it to the maid in black skirt, then took another look at the pavilion, and then strode away.
Jiang Chaoge was also looking at the pavilion: "Is that the great chess player sitting above, Ji Ruxue?"
