Lu Ren returned to the villa and told Lin Jinyan the whole story of the missing girl from Shiling Village.

After listening, the latter nodded calmly.

"You did a great job."

Lu Ren looked puzzled:"So, I have passed the test?"

Lin Jinyan smiled and shook her head:"Of course it's not that simple."

"I know you want me to find out who is behind this."

"good"

"But I have no connections in Shanyin County. If I were alone, I would have to wait a long time. The girls who were sold could not wait........"

Lin Jinyan was not in a hurry at all, and said calmly:"Go south from the city gate, towards Huashui County. There is a Qingfeng Temple 20 miles away. It has been very popular recently. Maybe there is the person you are looking for."

Lu Ren was happy at first, then realized something and asked in surprise:

"You already knew that person was in Qingfeng Temple?"

Since the Demon Suppression Division already knew everything, why didn't they act quickly, but let him investigate step by step?

Could it be that the so-called test is more important than the innocence and lives of those girls?

Facing Lu Ren's questioning, Lin Jinyan raised her eyebrows slightly:"There are billions of lives in this world, and someone is suffering every moment. Can you save them?"

I have heard that the people in the Demon Suppression Division are cold-blooded and inhuman.

Now it seems that this is true.

Lu Ren did not refute.

Because he knew that what Lin Jinyan said was right.

The Demon Suppression Division is a sharp sword for the court to slay demons.

If too many personal emotions are mixed in, this sword will no longer be sharp.

The people in the Demon Suppression Division wander on the edge of life and death all day long, so naturally they have long looked down on the life and death of mortals.

"I'll go now." Lu Ren said goodbye and left.

When he reached the door, he heard Lin Jinyan's somewhat cold voice from behind.

"I only knew it an hour earlier than you did."

Lu Ren nodded with his back to her:"Thank you." Lin Jinyan watched his back disappear outside the door, her lips curled up in a beautiful arc.

At this time, the doorman suddenly ran over with a bunch of things in his arms.

""Master Lin, take a look at this."

The doorman unfolded the cloth, revealing a pile of animal bones, some of which still had meat shreds on them.

Lin Jinyan smelled a familiar scent from it.

"Where did this come from?"

"I found it when I was cleaning Lu Ren's room."

Lin Jinyan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The pheasant that called itself"Feng Zun" was a demon that she valued very much. She didn't expect that it was eaten by Lu Ren?

She was furious and stared at the direction where Lu Ren left.

"If you eat my chicken, you will have to return it to me sooner or later!"........

Following the route indicated by Lin Jinyan, Lu Ren easily found the location of Qingfeng Temple.

This is a Taoist temple built in the mountains.

The mountain gate is tall and solemn, with ancient trees and swaying shadows.

The temple is magnificent, with continuous palaces, winding corridors, and ancient fragrance.

However, even in such a quiet Taoist temple far away from the county town, there is a constant stream of people outside the temple gate.

Lin Jinyan did mention that this Taoist temple is very popular, but such a grand occasion is beyond Lu Ren's imagination.

On the narrow mountain road, there are dense figures at a glance.

People going up and down the mountain are crowded together, and the scene seems a bit chaotic, especially those who are stuck behind, it can be said that it is difficult to move.

Lu Ren doesn't like to be in the limelight, so he didn't stand up to guide the crowd, but went into the dense forest next to him.

Walking up all the way, his clothes were cut by the criss-crossing branches in the forest.

Finally, he arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple.

He mixed in with the believers who came to worship, imitated the posture of the people in front of him, and entered the hall muttering all the way.

On the top of the hall, there was a tall statue of a god.

Lu Ren looked up and glanced at the statue, and inexplicably felt a palpitation.

Moreover, this statue was completely different from the Three Pure Ones and Jade Emperors enshrined in ordinary Taoist temples.

His face looked somewhat handsome, with a kind look, and he did not have the majestic and sacred aura of a god at all.

In front of the statue, several Taoist children led the believers to burn incense and worship, praying for blessings.

Lu Ren saw an almost fanatical worship in the eyes of those believers.

It's strange, why would an unknown god attract so many people to blindly worship?

And these believers are not just from Shanyin County, there are famous people from all directions.

Lu Ren pondered for a moment, and gently patted a wealthy middle-aged man in front of him.

""Uncle, who is this god you are worshipping? Why have I never heard of him before?"

The wealthy middle-aged man looked at him suspiciously:"If you don't know, why did you come here?"

Lu Ren said with a smile:"I just happened to pass by, so I came to join in the fun!"

The middle-aged man fixed his eyes on the statue and said devoutly:"This is the god who is in charge of the seven emotions and six desires in the legend. Everyone respectfully calls him the God of Love."

When Lu Ren heard the name, he knew it was pure nonsense.

However, he was not in a hurry to point it out, but continued to ask curiously:"There are so many believers coming here to worship, is it because praying here is particularly effective?"

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Ren as if he was a fool, and then laughed:"If it is not effective, who would be willing to come to such a remote place?"

"Then may I ask how it works?"

The middle-aged man pulled Lu Ren around, turned his back to the statue, and said in a low voice:"This Qingfeng Temple was actually built less than half a year ago. At first, there were basically no people coming. It was not until more than a month ago that the incense suddenly became popular."

"Why?"

"It is said that the first believers who came to worship did not get their wishes fulfilled, and everyone thought that this statue of love was not effective.

Who knew that more than a month ago, the wishes of the first batch of believers were all fulfilled, and it was not an isolated case, but many people came forward to confirm it."

Lu Ren frowned. This matter sounded very mysterious, and there must be something strange behind it.

He never believed in gods and Buddhas.

Besides, even if there were gods and Buddhas in the world, they might not have time to deal with these mortals. If anyone who came to the Taoist temple to burn incense and pray could get their wishes fulfilled, wouldn't the world have been in chaos long ago?

"Uncle, did you hear about it or see it with your own eyes?"

"I didn't believe it at first, until a couple from my hometown who had been married for more than ten years but had not been able to have children came to worship the gods and got pregnant more than a month after returning home. Don't you think it's very effective?"

Lu Ren pulled the corners of his mouth, his expression was very subtle.

The husband had a little green hair on his head.

"Haha, it does sound magical."

After responding, Lu Ren suddenly thought of something:"By the way, most people who come here to pray are praying for children?"

The wealthy middle-aged man smiled and said,"To be honest, I am praying for wealth."

Lu Ren joked,"Uncle, you don't look like someone who is short of money."

"The world is in such a mess nowadays, who would complain about having too much money? There will always be a day when it is all spent, don't you think?"

"" The uncle is right." Lu Ren nodded, and then walked straight out of the hall.

The middle-aged man called him in confusion:"Since you are here, why don't you go and worship?"

Lu Ren stopped, pointed at the statue and laughed:"Worship him? I'm afraid his fate is too weak and he can't bear it!"
