Chapter 22 The Statue of the Countryside

Upon hearing Fang Jue's words, Bai Hao took a breath and said cautiously: "Brother, your statement is a bit nonsense, right?"

"But Brother Peiran, you have also said that there are indeed cultivators and demons in this world. More than one person said that he had seen Grandma Baimao. At that time, the county magistrate also built a temple. This may not be a spread of rumors, right?" Fang Jue said.

"this……"

Bai Hao pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "The words are true, I will not hide them from them, I thought of them too. Just..."

He immediately smiled bitterly: "After all, I am a parent. When I encounter a case, I cannot solve it. So I said it was a demon who caused it and pushed it to the gods and ghosts. The people could not point at my backbone and say that I am a stupid official, and call me shameless."

"That's true, it's hard for you." Fang Jue said sympathetically.

Being an official also has difficulties in becoming an official. Although his income is much higher than that of his teacher, he has countless concerns.

It would be fine if he said a few words to the people, but if he really wanted him to become an official and deal with those complicated and specific government affairs, he would probably be really impatient with this annoyance.

Speaking of the grandma temple, Bai Hao whispered and muttered: "This temple has been built for decades. I heard that it was quite effective in the early years. Although the incense has faded over the years, I have never heard of it being effective again, but it has never happened to harm people. How could it happen this time..."

Fang Jue smiled faintly: "Hey, I just saw you in a difficult situation and wanted to help you come up with ideas. If you think of something in your heart, just say it casually. It may not be that the white-haired grandma has received the offering. You are right. If you have a case, you still need to investigate in detail and not blame the gods and ghosts."

Bai Hao's eyes were filled with his ordinary smile, but he felt a little mysterious.

My heart moved, this virtuous brother is not an ordinary scholar!

Not long ago, after counting, I calculated that there was a female corpse at the bottom of the river!

A few days ago, I narrowed my eyes and broke into the best picture scroll!

Well... I think this happened so much, and my heart started to hurt slightly again...

In short, when it comes to important matters, Fang Jueke has nothing to say "speak casually".

What I said today is to mention me,

It’s just that the god, monster, and demon are not convenient to explain it thoroughly or deeply?

Thinking of this, Bai Hao slapped his thigh: "Brother, this is easy to deal with. Let's go to the Baimao Grandma Temple to take a look!"

After experiencing so many things, Fang Jue is now very interested in these things about gods and ghosts. He picked up a stick and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll go with my brother."

Bai Hao was stunned, looking at the stick in his hand, with a strange expression: "What are you doing with it?"

"What if there are monsters, be on your own." Fang Jue said.

Bai Hao laughed silently and patted the head of the shark-skin beast hanging on his waist and swallowed his sword: "Do you don't have a sword?"

"No, it's too expensive, I can't afford it." Fang Jue answered honestly.

"Oh oh, I'll give you a good sword the next day. I'll give you one. I'm free, and I can compete with the sword." Bai Hao said casually.

Fang Jue thought I didn't want to compete with you, but it was good to give me a sword.

The cheapest iron sword is worth three or four taels of silver. It is almost worth two months old. I don’t usually fight with others. I’m not going to spend money to buy that thing. Isn’t it a waste of my family?

If you really fight, you won’t know much about swordsmanship and martial arts. It’s better to use bricks and it’s cheaper. If you break it, you won’t feel sorry for it.

Back to the point, the two went out together and headed straight to the cemetery.

The cemetery was only two miles away from the county school. The two walked to the cemetery, which was just two o'clock.

At noon, the scorching sun is in the sky, and a wooden pestle is standing under the sunlight. The wooden pestle has no shadow, so it is used to make the pestle noon, which means that the sun is above your head.

On this hot noon, the continuous cemetery was not at all gloomy and terrifying. I just felt the heat steeping and the heat waves were coming.

You can still see farmers cultivating in the fields not far away, and there are occasionally cars coming and going on the county road. In such an atmosphere, even if a monster emerges from the grave, it will probably not be too scary.

Bai Hao shouted loudly at the cemetery: "The country is prosperous and the people are safe!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person emerge from under the soil, south and west of the cemetery.

Living people, a servant wearing public uniforms and carrying a waist knife.

Fang Juehao laughed out loud. It turned out that he had dug a hole around the cemetery and asked the police to ambush the pit and prepare to catch the thief.

The saying "The People's Republic of China and the People's Republic of China" is probably a secret code, but it's a bit of a second-tier student.

Three officers ran over in dust, their clothes were wet with sweat. They clasped their fists and shouted, "What are the instructions of the master?"

The leading county troupe Shen Laosan became an acquaintance. After straightening up, he bowed to Fang Jue and said, "The Master is here too."

"Thank you for your hard work," Fang Jue responded.

"Have you discovered it?" Bai Hao asked.

Shen Laosan shook his head and said with a sad face: "Master, you haven't seen the thief, but in such a hot day, my brothers are getting hot and stuffy into the holes, and they are almost becoming a roasted bun. Can you think of some other way to catch the thief?"

Bai Hao glared at his eyes and put on the airs and majesty of the county lord: "You have a salary of only one person, and you have two middle-class families in the county. If you ask you to do something for the people, you will be long-winded. Why don't you listen to you when you get money and food every month?"

Shen Laosan didn't dare to retaliate, so he could only say with a bitter face: "Yes, the master taught him a lesson."

"However, it's really too hot this day. Let's do it. After I go back, I'll arrange for someone to change shifts with you." Bai Hao snorted, then waved his hand and said, "Follow me to Grandma's Temple to check first!"

"yes!"

"Mr. Xie is kind!"

"Respect the Lord's Order!"

I heard that I could change shifts, and three hard-working servants were like being pardoned. They happily followed Bai Hao Fangjue to the White-Haired Grandma Temple.

This temple is on the hillside east of the cemetery, facing north and south. It is said to be a temple, but it is actually just a very small blue brick mud and tile shed, about the height of a person's shoulders, only three or four feet in length, and can only accommodate a person with a low figure and waist in.

Due to disrepair and the wind and rain, the temple walls collapsed a little half, and the remaining half were mottled and old, shaky, and I don’t know when it would collapse.

A clay statue of an old lady was shaped in the temple, with kind-eyed eyebrows and a red cloth cloak that had faded long ago on her shoulders.

Under the eaves, there is a clay-burned incense burner. There are no incense and candles inside, only some aged stains left.

Such a large dilapidated temple could be seen clearly at first glance, and there could be no hiding people or objects inside. Shen Laosan and two officers circled around the small temple, but found nothing, and they didn't know what the master asked them to check.

Bai Hao frowned, ignoring the dilapidated temple full of spider webs and dust, he hugged directly into the narrow temple.

After observing carefully, he reached out and knocked on the statue of the white-haired grandma, making a dull sound.

Solid.

Still nothing was discovered.

Fang Jue stood at the entrance of Grandma's Temple and looked around.

The temple is actually very good. Although it is next to the cemetery, it is close to Yuping Mountain. Behind it is a mountain, hidden by bamboo forests and woods in the mountains. There is also gurgling mountain spring water not far away. It is surrounded by mountains and water, so it can be regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land.

It’s strange that there are often small beasts in Yunping Mountain, and in winter there will be wild boars going down the mountain to find food. Grandma’s temple has been here for many years, but it has never been destroyed or occupied by wild beasts.

The beast...

Thinking of these two words, Fang Jue thought about it.

"Brother Peiran, come out first and ask them to move this grandma statue out!"

Bai Hao was stunned, and then he realized it.

Yes, why didn’t I expect it?

The sky and the earth are round, up, down, left and right, up, left and right, but I’m just ‘lower’!

He came out of Grandma's temple in a dirt and didn't bother to wipe his face, so he directed Shen Laosan to move the statue out with a young Kong Wu's servant.

Although this thing is not big, it is only half a person tall, but it is solid, dead and there is no room for rushing around. The two officers have used up a lot of strength to drag the statue outward.

Before he could completely drag it out of the grandma's temple, Shen Laosan pointed at the back of the grandma's statue and shouted:

"Sir, look!"

Several people looked over and saw that there was a hole on the ground where grandma was originally like a base.

The entrance of the cave is not particularly large, only the size of a sea bowl, but the bottom is pitch black, and there seems to be a turn. I don’t know how deep it is, and where it extends!

Fang Jue and Bai Hao looked at each other and were shocked!

Bai Hao was shocked, "My virtuous brother is indeed a master, he got it again."

Fang Jue was shocked at 'Dan you, your mother, such a big hole, is there really Wong Tai Sin? Don't count it on me!'
