Jiang Chaoge didn't think much more, because Lingzhu Temple had already arrived.
The mountain gate of Lingzhu Temple opens in front, with its back facing the cliff. Although there is a back door on the cliff face, it is closed tightly at this time.
So, what he saw before him was a red temple wall.
Jiang Chaoge passed directly through the temple wall with ease.
After entering Lingzhu Temple.
He then discovered that Lingzhu Temple was actually not very big, and the Buddhist halls and other buildings in the temple were not magnificent, but rather ordinary.
"The file says that Lingzhu Temple had more than 3,000 pilgrims every day more than a year ago. Why do such a small temple have so many people coming to offer incense?"
Jiang Chaoge was walking in Lingzhu Temple holding a red umbrella.
Because of the heavy rain, there were not many monks walking outside. Most of the monks were chanting sutras in the hall, and some were doing chores.
After walking, he came to the main hall of Lingzhu Temple.
In the middle of the main hall is a huge four-faced Buddha statue. The four Buddha faces represent health, career, love and wealth respectively.
"Is it actually the Erawan Buddha?" Jiang Chaoge was a little surprised, because this Erawan Buddha has another name: the Buddha who answers all requests!
In the West, this Buddha also has another name - Brahma!
Jiang Chaoge walked around the Erawan Buddha. At the foot of the Erawan Buddha, there was a young monk sitting upright with his eyes slightly narrowed and wearing a bright yellow Buddhist robe.
In front of the monk, there were more than a dozen young monks sitting around, all holding wooden fish in their hands and banging them "dong-dong-dong-hu" while chanting rhythmically from their mouths.
So Jiang Chaoge began to ask Buddha!
"I asked the Buddha, are there any ghosts causing trouble in this temple?"
The Buddha was silent.
Jiang Chaoge then asked: "Monks don't tell lies. If there are ghosts, please tell the Buddha."
The Buddha also remained silent.
Jiang Chaoge stopped asking any more questions and walked up to the young monk.
Not surprisingly, this person should be the eminent monk who traveled from the west as mentioned in the archives.
He has a fair complexion, kind eyebrows and bright eyes, and his earlobes hang down.
A good coat!
Jiang Chaoge brought his head close to the monk: "Buddha has five eyes, physical eye, heavenly eye, wisdom eye, Dharma eye and Buddha eye. Since you are an eminent monk, you should be able to see me, right?"
The monk opened his eyes, and there was divine light hidden inside: "The donor came in the rain late at night, what do you want?"
Before he had time to think about it, he heard a voice coming from behind him: "I've seen Abbot Kongxiang, and it's a lot of trouble to visit him late at night. I don't have his wishes, so I just want peace!"
"Peace?" Kong Xiang nodded slightly: "Is the donor in trouble?"
"Not yet, I just want more protection."
"The poor monk understands." After Kong Xiang finished speaking, he took out a folded yellow talisman from his sleeve: "This talisman was consecrated by the poor monk himself. It should be able to protect the benefactor from all evil and be safe and sound."
"Thank you, Abbot!" Two hands passed through Jiang Chaoge's body and carefully took the yellow talisman: "There are fifty taels of silver notes here, please accept it, Abbot."
"Repair the temple, cross the Buddha's golden body, and the donor will have merit!"
The monk puts his hands together.
He did not go to receive the banknote because a young monk had already done it for him.
So, the people behind him returned the Buddha's salute and turned around to leave.
Jiang Chaoge looked at Liang Ping'an who was walking out of the hall, and was speechless: "I was shocked. Did you think you could really see me? Are you taking me for granted?"
…
There is nothing unusual in Lingzhu Temple.
Jiang Chaoge visited the temple and finally found that there was only one ghost in the temple.
"The file misled me?"
Actually, it’s right if you think about it carefully.
If there really was a ghost that could be seen at a glance in Lingzhu Temple, something would have happened a long time ago.
Jiang Chaoge chose to put the matter at Lingzhu Temple aside for the time being.
Liang Ping'an had already left the temple gate at this time and ran towards the outside like a drowned rat: "Buddha bless me, I must catch the ghost this time!"
Since there is nothing wrong with Lingzhu Temple.
Jiang Chaoge felt that Liang Ping'an still had a high chance of passing the assessment this time.
After weighing it in his mind, he considered whether to go back to the cliff to take another look. But after thinking about it again, he didn't catch it just now, and he probably wouldn't gain anything if he went again.
Zhou Jiaoer is so smooth!
If you can't grasp it with both hands, you need to use some tools.
So, he followed Liang Pingan and walked in the rain.
Not long after, we arrived in front of a farmyard.
Liang Pingan knocked on the courtyard door.
A voice came from inside: "Who is it? It's late at night."
"Night watchman, come to handle the case!" Liang Pingan reported his identity.
The door opens.
A fat middle-aged man held an oil umbrella, with a servant standing on each side.
"It turns out to be the chief of the Night Detective Department... Huh? Why are you dressed up like this?" The middle-aged man said respectfully, but when he saw Liang Ping'an's appearance, he immediately became confused.
"No need to ask more, I have my own plan." Liang Pingan raised his head.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and glanced at Liang Pingan's waist involuntarily, as if he wanted to say something more.
Liang Pingan's eyes immediately narrowed: "Why, this night watchman came here late at night, why are you still dawdling? If Ji Ruxue hadn't personally sent me the letter, how could this night watchman have turned around in the middle of handling the case?
Come here?"
"Ji...Ji Ruxue?! It turns out...it turns out that your Excellency turned here halfway?" The middle-aged man seemed to understand.
"Nonsense, this night watchman is about to go to Lingyang County to handle a serious case. If he hadn't been on the way, why would he have come in the rain in this horrible weather?" Liang Ping'an said in a bad tone, and then turned around: "Unlucky, since the king
The other members have their own solutions, so I, the night watchman, will not disturb you."
"Your Excellency, please stay, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is the common people who are blind, and I also ask Your Excellency to save the daughter of the common people." Wang Yuanwai immediately rushed forward. He didn't even want his umbrella, and almost knelt down.
Liang Ping'an was dragged away by Wang Yuanwai and could not leave. He could only sigh: "Well, since the Night Detective Department has orders, I, the night watchman, will just deal with this troublesome ghost!"
"Yes, yes, please, sir, please come in quickly!"
"..."
Jiang Chaoge held a red umbrella and admired in his heart: "Liang Ping'an still has tricks. Although he can't beat me, he is more than enough to deal with some civilians."
…
Enter the village courtyard.
Liang Ping'an first wiped his body with the dry cloth sent by the servant, and then drank some hot water, finally feeling relieved.
So, he sat on the main seat generously and asked, "Did that ghost appear a month ago?"
"Yes, sir!" Wang Yuanwai replied.
"Ghosts don't appear out of thin air. Did anything weird happen in the courtyard a month ago? Or were there some people here?" Liang Ping'an started asking as usual.
"There's nothing weird, except that three rangers came."
"Ranger? What ranger?"
"They claim to be disciples of the Mohist family. They rob the rich and give to the poor, and do justice for heaven. They come to ask the common people whether they have done anything against the laws of nature, which the common people have not done."
After Wang Yuanwai finished speaking, he added: "But the three rangers were holding weapons, and the common people did not dare to neglect them, so they ordered the little girl to warm the wine for the three rangers in person. During the dinner, the three rangers said that they would stay nearby for some time.
At that time, I also asked about the little girl’s maiden name, and the common people excused themselves by saying that the little girl was young. Later, the three people left and never came again.”
"Is that it? They didn't look down on your daughter?" Liang Ping'an frowned.
"It's not frivolous, it's just that one of them rewarded the little girl with a jade pendant, saying it was... saying it was..."
"What is it?"
"He said it was a gift for betrothal, but how could the ordinary people be willing? Of course he refused, but the man left the jade pendant and ran away, and the ordinary people couldn't catch up even if they wanted to... By the way, the jade pendant is here!"
Wang Yuanwai handed a jade pendant to Liang Pingan.
Liang Ping'an took the jade pendant and looked at the patterns carved on it, seeming to be thinking about something.
Jiang Chaoge, on the other hand, went straight into the back room.
In the back room, a girl with a skinny face was sitting on a chair, playing with a newly carved wooden sculpture on the table.
The wood carving walked back and forth under the girl's fiddle, making a creaking sound.
"Woodman Technique? This ghost is really a disciple of the Mohist School!" Jiang Chaoge looked at the wood carving on the table and seemed to feel that the wood carving was emitting bursts of cold laughter.
This reminded him of the lolita in white dress he had seen in Wujiazhuang... Oh, no, it was Wu Ming!
"The one possessing this girl should be the Mohist disciple, but there is nothing robbing the rich and giving to the poor nearby? There is only Lingzhu Temple, what is their purpose of staying here for a while?"
Stay for a while...
Near Lingzhu Temple?
Jiang Chaoge instinctively began to think, has there been any robbing from the rich and giving to the poor recently near Lingzhu Temple? It seems not...
etc!
Could it be...that it couldn't be possible?!
For a moment, he thought of a possibility.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, I have hired a doctor to diagnose your pulse."
"Go away, I'm not sick!" The girl suddenly raised her head ferociously, her eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, and she made a strange sound.
