Chapter 144 Snake Temple
I scratched my head and said, "Young ghosts are so powerful that they cannot be used to speculate based on common sense. You have also seen the experiences of the three of us, so don't act rashly."
After thinking about it, Shen Chong said, "First ask about the situation from these two sluts. The facts are there, and Fatty Lu can't deny it unless the little devil takes him to the sky."
To my surprise, these two people quickly confessed their crimes and did not hide them at all. These two people were not Boss Lu's subordinates, and they had nothing to do with Boss Lu.
Two gangsters are named Wen Daotian and Liu Zhi, who are residents of the 600 households in the most famous shanty town in Dongshi District.
Six Hundred Houses are a city village, with many private houses built in a very small area. Each house is so close that people on the opposite building can smell it.
In each city, there are areas like 600 households, which live in the bottom of the city, but at the same time, a group of "little landlords" have also been bred, that is, the owners who build these stone buildings. Wen Daotian and Liu Zhi are relatively powerful "house second generations" with 600 households. Their parents each own nearly 1,000 square meters of private houses. In addition to living in their own homes, the rest are all for rent. The family's source of living depends entirely on rent. Although they are not rich, they also have no worries about food and clothing. These two are the youngest children in their respective families, so they are particularly spoiled. They don't work in their thirties, drink, gamble and brag all day long, and are the most typical gangsters.
It was these two people who had a dispute when they were gambling with someone in the casino, so they took out their pistols and forced them to kneel down, and then they were called to the police and caught them.
According to the two of them, the gun was not stolen by them, but when they were gambling at night, they saw two men lying underground when they passed by the "shen" and asked, Liu thought he had met a drunk man, and wanted to take away the wallets of the two, but accidentally found the guns on them. Then he found out the police officer's certificate. Originally, these two people had no courage to steal the gun, but they always felt that they were not confident when they were in the gambling game these days, so Wen Daotian suggested keeping the gun just in case.
If there is no gun on his body, the two of them may not be quarreling with others, but if they pretend to be this thing, they always feel a lot of evil in their hearts. Those who are not a big deal will quarrel with others. As a result, the other party is not a coward. Both parties slapped the table and asked Daotian and took out the gun.
This is the case with the whole thing, and the two did not lie because they were interrogated separately, and the confessions were exactly the same in detail.
"The temple? Where is it?" I interrupted Shen Chong and asked.
"I knew you were going to ask where the temple was, so I asked it in advance. It was in Daolin Lane, Dongshi District, which is the back door of the 600 shanty town."
Six hundred households are a land where every inch of land is valuable. Almost every place belonging to local residents has a stone house of at least three floors, but the "Shen Temple" is an exception. The total area of this land is estimated to be no less than four or five acres. The "Shen Temple" is poked in the middle alone, and there is no house built around it, only a whole wasteland.
It shows that there is a problem at first glance, because once there is an open space in such a place, even if it is only a piece of palm, it will be occupied to build a house immediately, so there is no reason to waste a piece of empty land.
The so-called "shen temple" is actually an ancient temple with blue bricks and black tiles. The most awkward thing is that there is a large red circle drawn on the left side of the temple wall, with the word "demo" written on it.
I don’t know when this ancestral temple was built. The blue bricks had been eroded by rain and were completely eroded. The relief statue on the glazed tiles under the roof were also blown by wind and rain, so that they could not see the shape at all. The avatar of the divine beast under the eaves almost turned into a small round column with irregular surfaces.
As for the temple gate, it was already rotten and disappeared. Although the sun shone, the temple was covered with darkness and gloomy.
There is no Buddha statue inside, but there is still a dilapidated Buddha niche facing the gate.
Xiao Chuanzi did not have a "special reminder" about this temple. He circled around the temple wall and ran back to me, with a quiet expression.
With the reaction of Xiaochuanzi, it is basically possible to judge that there will be no problem with the temple. So I entered the temple with confidence and boldness. To my surprise, although the temple was dilapidated, it was cleaned up and there were no dust spider webs. There were still incense and candle offerings on the dilapidated Buddha niche. This was not a deserted temple, and there were still people worshiping it. There were some indistinguishable images carved on the ground paved with bluestone.
"Have you found anything?" Shen Chong asked.
"I didn't feel anything, it was a dilapidated temple." I said.
"There are still people worshipping the dilapidated temples? There is no one whom they ask for protection for the Buddha statues?" Shen Chong said.
"I have also seen a temple like this in Changbai Mountain in the northeast. There is nothing inside, but there are tributes placed." Luo Qi said.
"Oh, where is the temple built? It's not like a shanty town, right?" I said.
"Where did the shanty towns come from in Changbai Mountain? That area is a hunting ground. Every winter, when the last hunting before the mountain is closed, the hunters will concentrate in the temple to worship and then go into the mountain to hunt. It is said that if you don't worship, you will be trapped in the mountain god and never get out again." Luo Qi said.
"But this is a shanty town. Can't you transfer it if you don't worship the temple and enter the 600 households?" Shen Chong said.
"In Changbai Mountain, I am worshiping the mountain god. I can't say what kind of god you worship here." Luo Qi said.
"What kind of god is the mountain god?" I said.
"The mountain god is not a kind of god. What are the old thorns, hedgehogs, and foxes, they are all mountain gods worshipped by hunters. It is because there are too many that they cannot go to the statue of the gods. Worshiping the temple is equivalent to worshiping all mountain gods."
After saying this, Luo Qi thought for a while and said, "It's strange. There are no mountains here, so how could there be a mountain temple?"
But what I was thinking about was another thing, and instead asked Shin Chong: "Shen Team, is this the first scene of two policemen's death?"
"It was the first scene of death, because all the information extracted from the body of the deceased shows that they were killed after they came here." Shen Chong said affirmatively.
"At present, Boss Lu's suspicion can be temporarily put down. They were killed after being seduced here, so..." Before I finished speaking, an old lady wearing a black cloth slowly entered the house.
She was already old, with white hair, hunched back, and a crutch. She had a distinct hooked nose on her wrinkled face. Her eyes were not black, but dark brown, which looked a little weird.
One of the most important reasons why people who practice demonic techniques appear in addition to being arrested for harming others is that they have demonic images.
Just like animals transform into human forms, there are always some characteristics that cannot be concealed, such as Sun Wukong's tail and Zhu Bajie's ears.
When a person practices demonic magic, a certain part of his body will uncontrollably appear in a demonic state. For example, Aunt Ma has always used disguise techniques to cover her true body. After the disguise technique is broken, anyone can see at a glance that Aunt Ma is not a good person.
This old lady looks like something wrong.
Standing outside the temple, her eyes seemed a little sharp, and she looked at us one by one.
"Hello, old man, are you a resident of 600 households?" Shen Chong said.
"I'm not here, I'm here? How straight can the old lady have?" she said coldly.
"Two people died here yesterday, do you know?"
"It's the police I called. Do you think I know?" The old lady paused her crutch and sighed slightly.
"Is it your old man who called the police? Then for this..."
"This is a temple dedicated to the snake god. I have told them not to move. If they move, something will happen. These people don't believe it. In fact, several people have died these days, but the boss of the construction site spent money to buy his life, and the news did not spread. It was not until the two people died last night that the news could not be covered up."
Rocky added a sentence afterwards, "Yes, the snake is also one of the mountain gods."
The old lady gave him a blank look with her eyes that she was holding her back and said, "It turned out to be a river, connected to the Canglan River. When I was a child, I was still a fishing village. This temple was erected here. The old man said that the land under our feet was actually very thin, and it was supported by a big snake, so it was not trapped in the river. This temple was worshipped by the snake god. Later, the river water was filled, and the old man said that it was okay if the temple was still there, but they wanted to demolish the temple, and they were angry with the snake god. It must be killing people."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, I suddenly saw a dark purple snake letter coming out of her toothless and shriveled mouth.
