The silly girl from the farm turned into a demon and performed great deeds
Chapter 71 Cangsong Temple
At 5 pm, the white clouds in the sky slowly turned pink.
In the lush green woods, a little child dressed in white and wearing a red silk ribbon on his head shuttled between the treetops, flying as fast as the wind.
Lin Wanxing stopped on a branch and looked up at the colorful clouds in the sky. It seemed that he had to hold on tight.
She first went to the lower river ditch to inform Song Lian's parents that the evil spirit had been eliminated and that the girl had prayed for her and that she had passed away peacefully. She hoped that the mother could let go of some things and not live in self-regret and torture.
He left some silver and left.
But Song Miaomiao’s matter has not yet come to a conclusion, so she has to hurry up.
By the way, he also looked at Old Yu. His bent back was now even more hunched. After hearing about Song Lian's situation, his grandson Yu Feng burst into tears again.
The young man's first love ended in vain and with such a cruel ending. It was undoubtedly a sad thing that he would never forget.
This sudden end of love is the most heartbreaking! Lin Wanxing sighed silently in his heart.
Looking at the thin young man's shoulders shaking as he cried, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he said: Miss Song has escaped from the sea of suffering, and will be born into a wealthy family in the next life, living a happy and peaceful life.
If you just think that she will have a good life in the future, you won't be so sad, right?
Old Yu’s old face twitched several times and he wanted to speak, but finally, he slapped his thigh helplessly, sighed, and left.
After hearing Lin Wanxing's consolation, Yu Feng asked, "Really? She won't suffer anymore?"
Lin Wanxing looked into the young man's red eyes and nodded affirmatively, "Of course, I was the one who saved her soul. She will definitely be reborn into a good family."
Lin Wanxing wondered in her heart, maybe, she wasn't so sure, but she was in a difficult situation now, so she gritted her teeth and said affirmatively.
"Thank you, little master. I will make more money in the future and become a rich man. Then she might join my family. I will never let her suffer again."
The boy spoke of his fantasy, raised his hand and wiped the tears from his face and made up his mind.
Lin Wanxing really didn't expect that this young man had such a unique way of thinking. He said a little embarrassedly: Okay, you have an idea, I support you!
When leaving, he stuffed 50 taels of silver into Old Yu's pocket.
"Give the child something good to eat, and if he has done something wrong, he should take more care of his body...for his health!"
Old Yu was not willing to accept it, but he did not dare to argue with Lin Wanxing. He looked at the figure that disappeared in the blink of an eye with embarrassment.
Lin Wanxing ran away but did not return to Qinghe Town. After thinking for a while, he turned to Cangsong Temple.
The century-old temple has been eroded by rain for many years. The dilapidated walls and the mottled and faded wooden doors have given it a feeling of silence and desolation.
Lin Wanxing leaped up and saw that Captain Zhan Chensong and several yamen runners were all in the temple.
Surrounded a little monk named Nianren.
When Zhan Chen saw Lin Wanxing suddenly appear here, he raised his eyebrows and walked over: Why are you here?
"Passing by, what happened here?"
Zhan Chen looked at the lively little girl and replied, "The abbot of Cangsong Temple died. His death was strange. Although his whole body was not dried up, it was almost the same. He died with blood coming out of all seven orifices."
The monk Nianren here said that they thought the master monk was in seclusion and did not dare to disturb him. But after a day, the door opened when they touched it. But when they went inside, they saw the old monk's limbs were twisted, blood was flowing from all his orifices, and his whole body was dry.
Lin Wanxing frowned and thought about what happened the day before. Could it be that the damn Zou Pei was behind this? He was so cruel that he even dared to continue committing crimes against the wind.
It is quite provocative that he has the audacity to reach out to the temple.
"What's he doing?"
Zhan Chen listened to Lin Wanxing's question, looked up at the huge tree and said, "Of course he smashed the house and took Mother You to the side yard. No one has seen him since then. I suspect there are other exits in the cave."
Looking at Zhan Chen's increasingly serious expression, Lin Wanxing vaguely saw the person from his previous life again.
Zhan Chen frowned and looked at the dazed Lin Wanxing: "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Wanxing pulled himself out of his memories and said, "Maybe we should go to that cave again."
"Yeah," Zhan Chen responded in a low voice.
"Master Zhan, Guard Hei Yi, Miss Lin, we have found new clues!"
"Come with me." Everyone followed Captain Song and walked quickly to the monk's room where the crime scene occurred.
“Look…” Captain Song pointed with his finger.
All I saw was a cross drawn in blood on the ground?
Without anyone asking further questions, Captain Song hurriedly said: We only noticed the dead monk before, and the blood words were covered by the cushion on the ground, so we didn't see it for a while. Later, we went in to check, and the young man under our command was impatient and thought the cushion under his feet was in the way, so he kicked it aside, and it was discovered.
Captain Song felt somewhat guilty when he said this and stole a glance at Zhan Chen's face.
"This seems to be an unfinished word." Lin Wanxing said thoughtfully, stroking his smooth chin.
"Which word requires the sign of the cross first?" Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this.
"Gu, Lin, Miao..." For a moment everyone thought it was an ancient word.
Zhan Chen put his hands behind his back and ordered, "Bring the young monk Nianren here."
Nianren came over trembling, only to hear Zhan Chen ask in a low voice: "Look at the cross on the ground, what does it remind you of?"
Monk Nianren tilted his head and looked at the dark red words on the ground. Suddenly he raised his hand and said: "Master, are you shouting for help?"
Everyone held their foreheads and said, "You said he shouted. If he could shout, why would he write?"
"Ancient, forest, tower, etc., what can you think of?" Zhan Chen was very patient in guiding the monk Nianren who was not thinking about anything.
"Guarding the Forest Tower" Monk Nianren uttered the word in a daze.
Everyone looked at each other and said: Take us there.
Oh. Oh, good! Nianren also nodded quickly, but then he stopped and said awkwardly: "That tower has been abandoned. The master strictly forbids us to go there, not even close. It's dark and eerie over there."
"Then we should go. Lead the way and stop talking nonsense!" Lin Wanxing was anxious. She was worried that Yu Miaomiao might be imprisoned inside.
After walking for a quarter of an hour, they found out that the forest-guarding tower was built behind the cherry blossom forest on the back mountain. Moreover, the tower was close to the forest and had a lower terrain. After walking down the slope, they saw a gray three-story pagoda in a deserted area. It had cracks on it and was covered with many vines that almost covered the mahogany door leading into the tower.
The head constable used his sword to cut off the vines that were blocking the road, then raised his head to look at the crooked plaque, which clearly read "Shou Lin Tower".
There were a few people left outside. Monk Nianren refused to go in no matter what. Zhan Chen did not force him, and went in with Lin Wanxing, Hei Yi, and Captain Song.
The faded red painted door creaked as it opened, and the rotten smell mixed with the musty odor made everyone cover their noses and cough.
After a moment, Lin Wanxing stepped into the spacious first floor of the pagoda, and saw tall statues on both sides touching the top, which were obviously the two guardian gods, Heng and Ha.
The further you go inside, the colder the atmosphere inside the tower feels. On the left, you can see a tall sculpture of a rat with the words "Rat" engraved on it, on the right, a sculpture of an ox, further ahead are a tiger and a rabbit, and in the center, a tall, coiled snake spitting out its tongue, facing the center of the tower.
Lin Wanxing frowned and went straight to the second floor: Pig, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Sheep, and Rooster.
These are the 12 zodiac signs, and one dragon is missing? There was nothing strange about it, so Lin Wanxing went up to the third floor. There was only one dragon coiled in the center of the third floor, but under the dragon's head there was an old monk sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
The more Lin Wanxing looked, the weirder it seemed. After circling the dragon and the old monk, he felt even more uncomfortable. What was the purpose of this strange combination?
The Forest Guard Tower, as the name suggests, is built to protect the forests and to scare away wild beasts in the forests.
Could it be... Lin Wanxing frowned, with a bad suspicion in his heart.
He took out a dagger and cut a crack on the arm of the old monk who had his eyes closed.
Prying open a piece of rubble, the old yellow monk's robe was exposed, and there was a layer of black and yellow grease stuck to the blade of Lin Wanxing's dagger.
Lin Wanxing felt suffocated in the chest and clenched his teeth in anger.
He turned around and quickly landed on the first floor. Looking at the tall snake statue, he slammed his palm, and rocks rolled and flew everywhere. Zhan Chen and the others who were still on the second floor felt the earth shaking.
After the dust settled, Lin Wanxing saw a shriveled green snake as thick as an adult man's arm struggling and twisting in an iron chain.
Very good, Lin Wanxing confirmed that all the sculptures here were tied up with iron chains while they were alive, and then their mouths and noses were sealed with mud to make them into sculptures.
I’m afraid that this tower is filled with resentment. All living things may have their destiny, but those who died an unnatural death or were abused in their lifetime must have resentment behind them.
Lin Wanxing looked at the twisted dead snake body and squinted his eyes, wondering if this place was really built just to protect the forest?
He walked step by step into the rubble, walked around the stone platform, and looked inside carefully.
There was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Zhan Chen looked at the gravel and the snake on the ground, and felt a chill down his spine. He immediately ordered, "Smash all these stone statues."
Lin Wanxing used his dagger to push aside the broken stones on the stone platform behind the snake, and saw the words carved on it: "A snake is dormant, good fortune is coming."
He looked up and saw the snake's body entangled in iron chains. He felt very unhappy. After swinging his knife a few times, the iron chains, which had been rusted by years of use, broke into pieces. The twisted snake's body also fell to the ground, and its triangular head stuck out of the stone platform.
Lin Wanxing looked over and felt relieved, but when she looked away she was stunned.
He quickly turned around and squatted down to take a closer look. He saw a circular snake-shaped mark on the ground.
He picked up the dagger and pressed it down, only to hear a "click".
A hole in the center of the stone tower slowly opened.
Everyone gathered around the cave entrance and looked inside. The stone steps extended downwards, and no one knew where they led to.
Zhan Chen said with a serious expression, "Captain Song, you stay here to handle the follow-up matters, especially the monk on the top floor. Ask Monk Nianren to pray for the souls of these animals that were sacrificed alive to avoid any trouble."
"Yes, I obey your command and will make sure this matter is properly taken care of. Please rest assured, sir!" Captain Song also calmed down and responded.
