Red Mansion: I relied on the AFK system to create a dynasty

Chapter 54 The mystery in Narcissus Temple

Although the statue of Luo Shen in Shuixian Temple is made of clay and wood, it really has the appearance of "as graceful as a startled giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon", and as "green waves rising from the lotus, reflecting the morning glow in the sun".

Cen Mingche put his hands behind his back and admired it.

The old nun in the nunnery and two young nuns stood at a distance in a submissive manner.

Naturally, there was no need for Cen Mingche to ask these people personally, so Fu Cheng led people to ask them to get to the bottom of things.

"Your Highness, I asked. It was ten days ago, on the third day of April, that Miss Xun came to Shuixian Nunnery, burned a stick of incense, had a vegetarian meal, and left after noon."

Cen Mingche thought for a while and asked, "Then, where was the carriage found?"

"In the woods two miles away, the reins were untied and the horse ran away."

"Where are the people following their young lady?"

"The coachman and the four women were all killed, and the young lady and the maid were all missing."

"Oh? How did those people die?"

"...It's very strange. It seems that those who were killed without any resistance had their throats cut with a knife."

Thinking about it this way, the murderer might have used some kind of anesthetic.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why neither the coachman nor the woman resisted, and the girls were skinned off without any struggle.

Is there really some miraculous means?

"Go and investigate immediately to find out which aunts and ladies the Xun family has contact with, and then compare it with other families."

"Also, do they worship any idols?"

"...I would like to ask again, during this period, has anyone come to Shuixian Nunnery to place an order to stay?"

Fu Cheng asked cautiously: "Your Highness, do you suspect that someone used his identity to gain access to the back house to deceive the women's trust, then kidnap them, skin them and strangle them to death?"

"Exactly."

Fu Cheng was greatly shocked.

"But, what is this person trying to do?"

Cen Mingche sneered.

"Obscene and evil sacrifices are nothing more than this."

Fu Cheng thought for a moment and suddenly realized something.

"Could it be... that it's used to sacrifice demons and ghosts? Oh my God... something needs to be made of human skin as a tribute!"

"So, I'm afraid it's not a righteous god, but an evil demon."

Cen Mingche had a gloomy face.

md, I’m most annoyed by cults!

"If it is really a sacrifice to evil spirits, the person who committed this case may not be one person, but a group of people."

He raised his eyes and looked at the statue of Luo Shen.

The statue's clothes are exposed to the wind, making it lifelike.

"Sou'an!"

The officers, like wolves and tigers, sealed the Shuixian Temple from the front and back and guarded it everywhere. The experienced officers took the lead and searched it inch by inch.

Of course, with Cen Mingche here and it being such a big and important case, no one dared to reach out randomly.

What if what is secretly hidden is important evidence? Do you still want the head?

If you don't search, you don't know.

In the old nun's room, a ledger was found, in which were written all the bills on how she helped match women from various families and handled all kinds of private affairs.

There are also a thousand taels of silver and some gold and silver jewelry.

"Okay, what a good old pious woman."

Cen Mingche looked at the account book, then at the old nun, and sneered again and again.

The old nun was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, like a puddle of mud.

Two pretty little nuns stood aside shivering like lost chickens.

"Your Highness, something has been found! Your Highness, help!"

It turned out that when the guest room was searched, the leading officer was knocking here and there, and unexpectedly dug out a statue of a god from the seemingly uninhabited room.

The statue is entirely carved from peach wood and is very delicate. It is a woman——

The dimple smiles with spring peaches, the cloud bun is piled with green, the lips are blooming with cherry blossoms, the pomegranate teeth are fragrant, the slender waist is beautiful, the fragrant jade seal script is fragrant, the phoenix is ​​in the sky and the dragon is flying, the eyebrows are furrowed, and the desire to speak is still there.

As soon as this statue is taken out, people will be dazzled and their hearts will be shaken.

A group of police officers looked obsessed, their eyes were blurred, they were swaying, and they were about to fall asleep.

The old guard was quick to see the opportunity, pinched himself hard, turned around and ran away, came to Cen Mingche and made a hurried report.

I wonder what kind of mountain spirits and ghosts are pretending to be gods and performing such cruel sacrifices?

Not knowing what he thought of, Cen Mingche pressed the three pieces of paper in his arms - the pieces of paper covered with the jade seal passed down from the country and with the emperor's imperial pen writing "Protect yourself by order, all evil spirits will be dispersed".

At the same time, Cen Mingche was using his inner strength and mental skills to prepare for a reaction at any time.

The door to the guest room was wide open, and the government officials were lying on the floor with dreamy smiles on their faces.

The peach wood statue was placed clearly on the table, with its face facing the door.

Cen Mingche glanced at it and met the statue's eyes.

Suddenly, the internal force in his body spontaneously formed a barrier, and Cen Mingche suddenly heard a "dang" sound, like a bell, which shocked him to clear his mind.

At the same time, the paper in his arms also emitted a burst of heat, protecting his body.

The statue fell backwards as if being hit by a heavy object, and fell to the ground with a "clang".

In an instant, the two sides had already had a confrontation.

Cen Mingche was also shocked.

Sure enough, there really are all these mysterious things in this world.

He took out a piece of stamped paper, put it in his palm, and carefully picked up the statue.

However, the idol, which had not been damaged at all despite being beaten and beaten, had scorch marks the moment it came into contact with the printing paper, as if it had been scorched by the paper.

Seeing this, Cen Mingche immediately wrapped the statue with the paper, and asked someone to bring a box, put the statue in, locked the outside, and put a seal on it.

At this time, the government servants who had fallen asleep gradually woke up one after another, each of them stroking their sore heads with residual silly smiles on their faces.

When I asked, I didn’t know anything, I just knew that I had a sweet dream.

dream?

Cen Mingche's heart moved.

Think again that the statue is a beautiful woman...

Isn't this a vigilant statue?

It’s amazing!

Jing Huan's autobiography says: "I live above the sky of Lihen, in the sea of ​​sorrow, in the illusory realm of Fangchun Mountain's Xiangxiang Cave. She is the Fairy Jing Huan. She handles the world's romantic affairs and moon debts, and controls the world's women, resentments and male idiots. "

Sounds like a fairy.

But now it looks like a monster.

How can any serious god ask his followers to kill people and skin them for him?

He is not an ancient god who cannibalizes people and drinks blood!

Continuing the search, there are no other suspicious objects in the Narcissus Temple.

But even with the things the old nun did, she didn't get any good results.

The Narcissus Temple was sealed up like this.

The government officials escorted the nuns in the nunnery, and the group returned to the capital together.

"Your Highness, since this monster has some skills, we...well, we are all mortals, so I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it."

After hearing what happened today, Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened that he trembled all over, laughed and stammered.

"Your Highness, I wonder... is there any way to prevent us from being affected by this demon?"

Cen Mingche thought for a moment as he thought about the scorched statue of the god with the cinnabar jade seal.

"You take the official seal, dip it in cinnabar seal mud, stamp a few seals, give one copy to each of the people below, and take it with you to protect yourself."

"then……"

"Have someone wear this protective seal and capture all the aunts and wives that the suffering master's family has come into contact with!"

“I would rather catch you by mistake than let him go!”
