Worth the world

Older people tend to soften their hearts, and they probably couldn't stand Lin Yunqi's gaze, so Zhou's mother chose to go back to her room to rest.

All she said was that she would not be here tomorrow, in other words, she would continue to be a nurse tonight.

Zhou Ziyuan reversed his despondent attitude, picked up the flowers that were broken by Bai Ci and stuffed them back into the vase, almost looking at them with a provocative gaze.

Unfortunately, not to mention his demonstration, even he himself is like a speck of dust in Baicimu.

Right now, Bai Ci only cares about Lin Yunqi's mood.

I wanted to say a few more words of relief, but unexpectedly the other party was very strong: "I will seek justice for myself."

Swallowing back the words that came to his mouth, Bai Ci said seriously: "I believe in you."

Not only Lin Yunqi, but Nie Yan also wanted to seize the last opportunity to deal with Zhou Ziyuan, and try to find useful clues as much as possible.Mao Shiba's ritual was finished after Lin Yunqi left this morning, and Nie Yan asked him if he was going to leave or stay.

"Their family gave a lot," Mao Shiba shrugged, "I'll see if there is anything I can help."

Zhou's mother mentioned that some of these flowers were planted in the garden, and Nie Yan went downstairs to have a look. Unexpectedly, Bai Ci also showed interest, and he went downstairs first.

Because of the haunting incident, all the servants left and Butler Sun was taken away again, making the whole house look very deserted.

Now even if you walk around at will, no one will stop you.

Lin Yunqi avoided touching drawers and other private things, but he would stop and look at every opened door to observe the details of the arrangement.He stopped and went, and when he finally reached the living room, half an hour had passed.

Mao Shiba was sitting on the sofa, with a lot of scattered papers spread out on the table, it looked more like he was working.

Lin Yunqi went over to take a look, and every piece of paper was written with the horoscope of birthday.

Mao Shiba has a good temper, so he took the initiative to explain to him: "There are also several victims' families who also invited me to exorcise evil spirits."

Lin Yunqi: "What does this have to do with the horoscope?"

"The three victims were all born in You time, and they happened to be born at the right time. Those born at this time are full of love and often have impulsive personalities."

"...the other two were born when they were ugly, with a light horoscope, easy to be weak and sick."

He summed up a few more points one after another, and the corners of Lin Yunqi's mouth curled up.

It was nothing at first, but when he thought of Nie Yan's strange reaction when he smiled earlier, Mao Shiba asked, "What's your opinion?"

"I can't talk about high opinions." Lin Yunqi: "But I just passed the study, and there is a portrait hanging in it, and there are burning incense underneath."

It can be seen that Zhou's mother came here to burn a stick of incense before going to bed.

"Is the portrait weird? Or are you enshrining something that shouldn't be enshrined?"

"Why don't you want to order something good?" Lin Yunqi said helplessly: "I looked familiar, so I checked the name next to it. The person on the portrait is called Zhou Jili."

Mao Shiba always felt that he had heard this name somewhere before.

When he searched his memory, Lin Yunqi gave the answer directly: "It was mentioned in the textbook before that Zhou Jili is a well-known benevolent person."

After he mentioned it, Mao Shiba had an impression: "Yes, there are also pictures of him opening a warehouse to release grain in the book."

However, the good talk about Zhou Jili has happened hundreds of years ago.

Lin Yunqi: "These victims have no intersection, but it doesn't mean that their families have no similarities."

The reason why the popularity of the blood lantern case has risen so quickly is that one of the victims is the daughter of a well-known philanthropist in the city. Every day, netizens go to social platforms to check in.

Mao Shiba frowned, called the families who exorcised evil spirits, and found out that, as Lin Yunqi said, all of these families had people who did good deeds and accumulated virtue.

Lin Yunqi continued: "Unfortunately, compared with the older generation, the victims have more or less bad deeds."

A philanthropist's daughter is using her parents' prestige to make herself an internet celebrity, and there's nothing wrong with that, but she's selling fakes.Zhou Ziyuan, as the rich second generation, didn't need to join the blind date group at all, and it was a group of thousands of people with mixed good and bad.

In the materials given by my old classmate, it was mentioned that Zhou Ziyuan used the word 'fairy', which is very intriguing.

There was a plate of fresh fruit on the table, Lin Yunqi happened to be a little hungry, picked up an apple and took a bite, and asked very puzzled: "Speaking of which, why do you want to find patterns in the birth date?"

"..." Yes, why?

Mao Shiba finally understood the meaning behind his smile. To put it bluntly, it was the shock when he watched the bewildering behavior of human beings.When he looked up, he found that Nie Yan came in through the small door outside the French window at some point.

"I've realized it." Mao Shiba looked at him and said.

Lin Yunqi's smile was indeed enlightening.

Nie Yan: "..."

Nie Yan had heard the conversation between the two of them from the beginning to the end. If it wasn't for their different perceptions of the world, Lin Yunqi was born to eat their rice.

Speculation is always speculation, so Nie Yan called his colleagues in the team and asked them to confirm it thoroughly.

Within 10 minutes, a complete form was passed over there, summarizing accurately.Except for two victims who are not sure, the others basically meet this characteristic.

After eating more than half of an apple, Lin Yunqi scanned the form: "Before chatting online, everyone's information is kept confidential. How do scammers accurately find their targets?"

Because of the angle at which he was standing, he was closer to Mao Shiba, and the words seemed to be asking Mao Shiba.

It would be stupid not to answer, Mao Shiba looked at Nie Yan naturally: "What do you think?"

"..."

Nie Yan didn't know it at first, but he had to know it at this moment, otherwise he would look even more stupid.

Lin Yunqi looked at the group chat with his mobile phone, and seemed to have discovered something, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "So that's it, this..."

"These groups love to organize offline activities, maybe we can find the reason from it." Nie Yan frowned at his smile, and suddenly got inspiration.

There are many uploaded activity photos in the group photo album. Previously, they had been focusing on the group members, but ignored the blind date group itself.

Lin Yunqi swiped across the photos one by one: "These groups seem to have been to the same place to check in."

In the photo, the plaque at the gate is a bit old, Lin Yunqi took a closer look, and could barely make out the words on it: "Jin, Jinchan Temple."

He was born and raised in Tianhai City, and he had never heard of this temple.

"I even took a photo of the Buddha, young people are too careless nowadays." Mao Shiba shook his head.

However, he quickly narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the golden body in the photo.

Regarding this aspect of knowledge, Lin Yunqi's understanding is very superficial: "What kind of Buddha is this?"

I don't know if it's because of the shooting angle of the photo, but Lin Yunqi always felt that the Buddha's chin was pointed, and he looked like a fox.

"Not a Buddha." Mao Shiba said with certainty.

Lin Yunqi listened quietly, but there was nothing to say.

Mao Shiba: "There are many kinds of offerings made by people. Animals are offered to mountain ghosts, and there are even people who sacrifice their lives to the so-called Dragon King. The creativity in this regard is endless."

What exactly it is, we will find out later.

One night passed, and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother came out to 'see off' at the same time the next day.

Lin Yunqi's eyes were filled with the pain of 'why I don't have a chance', Father Zhou, who was cold-tempered when he was young, couldn't help but tilt his head under such gazes.

"I transferred the salary in the morning, and the extra is..." Father Zhou thought for a while and said, "Spiritual damage."

Standing outside the gate, Lin Yunqi seemed to have sensed something. He looked up at the attic, where Zhou Ziyuan was holding on to the protective fence, and gave them a sinister smile.

Lin Yunqi shook his head in disgust: "Could it be that you lost your mind?"

Mao Shiba thought that he was right, Zhou Ziyuan's lost soul must have been tamed, and he remained absolutely loyal to the liar who caused trouble.

Butler Sun's interrogation was not over yet, Luopan Qi drove back to the special team first.The rest of the people tacitly chose to visit the site, wanting to see what is unique about this Jinchan Temple.

It was difficult for Lin Yunqi's pickup truck to go up the mountain road, and the temple was to the west, so he happened to drive back to the community along the way, and then all three of them took Nie Yan's car.

The west side is where the city develops the slowest. The more you go west, the more original ecological landscapes, but you can hardly see a few high-rise buildings.Not to mention that the roads have been in disrepair for a long time, all the windows of the cars must be closed tightly, otherwise the loess will blow in.

The desolation did not affect Lin Yunqi's personal emotions at all, on the contrary, he was very excited.

"What's it like in the temple?"

"Is there a difference between a temple and a monastery?"

"I see that the incense on TV is thick and thin, why is that?"

His eyes were full of sparkling light, like a person who entered the city for the first time in the last century, and he was new to everything.

Mao Shiba smiled bitterly: "Have you never been to a temple?"

"No."

Mao Shiba was a little surprised by the blurted answer.

Some people may not go to temples on purpose, but basically there are temples in scenic spots all over the country. When tourists go sightseeing, they will pass by and take a look.

Lin Yunqi scratched his head: "I have traveled to many places, but I have never seen these with my eyes."

Let alone go in.

"..."

Lin Yunqi told the truth: "Because I don't believe it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had reached the foot of the mountain. When he saw the scenery outside the car window, he tugged on Bai Ci's sleeve: "I have been to this place in my dreams."

Bai Ci opened the car door: "Let's go down and have a look."

Lin Yun nodded, quickly unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.

Mao Shiba, a Pianpian son, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "He calls this unbelief in metaphysics?"

Nie Yan was silent for a moment: "Maybe he believes it, but it's not the same as us."

Lin Yun walked along the route in the dream at first, and asked Bai Ci, "Is it the same?"

"Same, different." Lin Yunqi stood halfway up the mountain, pointing to a certain area below: "There is a sea of ​​flowers in the dream."

But in reality, that place is dry and dry, except for weeds, there are only some stones.

Bai Ci didn't make him worry too much about this issue: "The temple is ahead, go there first."

The red wall around Jinchan Temple was almost discolored, and the door was ajar. Lin Yunqi stood at the door: "So this is the temple, and there is really nothing to see..."

Before the last sound was pronounced, his mouth was covered.

Bai Ci sternly said: "No lying in front of the temple."

Behind him, Mao Shiba said to Nie Yan: "Mr. Bai is quite particular."

Nie Yan sneered: "I think he is looking for an excuse."

Mao Shiba was puzzled.

Only Skeleton Dog and Nie Yan wanted to go together, and what they kept secret was to touch his little mouth.

Bai Ci's body trembled slightly as his soft lips pressed against his palm.

The moment he took his hand off, Lin Yunqi said, "Your arm seems to be shaking."

Skeleton Dog danced in Bai Ci's pocket: "Excited heart, trembling hands..."

Bai Ci: "The mountain wind is strong, and it's a bit cold."

After all, calmly crushed the bone dog.

"...At the gate of the temple, killing is prohibited." These are the last words of the bone dog.

Lin Yunqi pushed the door open, and the creaking sound from the heavy wooden door was very Zen-like.Four people walked in, and a dog floated in.

There was a young monk cleaning fallen leaves inside. When he saw someone coming, he put down his broom and clasped his hands together as a salute.

Except for a towering tree, everything else is dilapidated.There are many cracks in the bluestone slabs, and under the only tree, there are many long red strips hanging, which seem to be used for wishing.

On the other side, a rope was pulled, and many concentric locks were hung on it.

Lin Yunqi: "Can we still seek marriage here?"

The little monk told a love story about this big tree: "Because of this beautiful story through the ages, after..."

At the end, there were some trills, and I almost couldn't help laughing.

Lin Yunqi: "You are not very skilled in this business."

The little monk rubbed his nose: "To tell you the truth, I have only been here not long ago."

Lin Yunqi looked around, only to see two monks eating at a corner with bowls in their hands.

"The abbot has been sick for the past two days, and everyone has been a little loose." The little monk led them to visit the Buddha statue: "Strictly speaking, we are not a traditional temple. We receive some groups every day, and occasionally the crew will come to shoot scenes."

Standing directly under the Buddha statue is completely different from the experience of looking at photos.

Not as calm and self-assured as ordinary Buddha statues, the Buddha's face is long and pointed, and there is a golden toad under the Buddha seat, as if it will jump up at any time.

Lin Yunqi asked about the identity of the Buddha statue.

Little monk: "It's called the Golden Toad Buddha, the one who guards the fortune."

Bai Ci suddenly asked: "What is the process for ordinary tourists to go?"

"Burning incense and worshiping Buddha, those who are interested can go to fortune-telling."

The little monk led them out and pointed to the place near the kitchen: "The stall is right there, and the monthly rent is [-]."

Lin Yunqi sighed: "There are really all kinds of businesses here."

The little monk sighed: "The place is remote, and people who come here usually don't pay too much for incense, so they can only use other methods."

"Where is the fortune teller?"

Little monk: "You need to make an appointment in advance for fortune-telling, and he only gives it to those who have a family tree. If you want to make an appointment, just scan the QR code."

Lin Yunqi scanned the QR code, and the remarks column read 'Master, I am an orphan'.

The little monk's eyelids trembled?

When he was operating the phone, everyone was watching, and the little monk said sincerely: "You don't have a family tree, and the other party may not approve the friend application."

Lin Yunqi: "It's okay, I also noted that the money will be added."

"..."

After all, it was a clue, and everyone scanned the fortune-telling QR code one after another.Bai Ci seemed to be more interested in the Buddha statues in the temple: "Turn around first, I'm going to offer incense sticks."

Mao Shiba was considering whether to follow, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yunqi drawing on his mobile phone to show the little monk: "Excuse me, have you seen this kind of flower nearby? I dreamed about it yesterday."

The corner of his mouth twitched: "That's it, materialism?"

Nie Yan: "Just get used to it."

The little monk recognized it at a glance: "Yes, but not many."

Then it said where it was.

Lin Yun nodded, thanked him and looked at Nie Yan: "Nature has produced hundreds of millions of lives, among which there are many flowers and plants that can stimulate the central nervous system and make people hallucinate. Perhaps Zhou Ziyuan's hyperactivity has something to do with it. "

As far as he is concerned, he never raises some plants that are too novel.

Nie Yan: "I agree."

Then he turned his head to Mao Shiba and said, "Isn't this scientific?"

"..."

A loud noise came from the temple.

Several people subconsciously froze, Lin Yunqi quickly looked towards the source of the sound: "Didn't Bai Ci say to go to burn incense?"

Why is there such a big commotion?

Nie Yan's complexion changed slightly: "I think he's going for salvation."

The sound even startled the abbot, seeing the fallen Buddha statue on the ground, he was recovering from typhoid fever, and he almost fell over: "You, you..."

Bai Ci: "Open your eyes wide and see, what are you offering?"

The so-called Golden Toad Buddha has no records at all. In order to save money, the former abbot chose clay sculptures and painted them instead of copper sculptures. Now the clay sculptures are broken, and the white bag wrapped inside fell out.

The little monk was very courageous, and ran up, his whole face turned pale.

The body of a dead fox was wrapped in a white plastic bag, which seemed to have undergone some special treatment, without the smell of decay.

Recently, the face shape of the Buddha statue looks a bit like a fox at first glance. The abbot originally thought it was because of himself, because he developed too many ways to make incense money, which annoyed Jin Chanbao Buddha.

Now contacting this fox corpse, the more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Nie Yan moved them a little away from the scene: "When did this Buddha statue stand here?"

"The tradition of offering to the Golden Toad Buddha has existed for more than 100 years, but this Buddha statue has just been replaced. It was damaged too badly before and there is no way to repair it."

Nie Yan asked the abbot to report the case. The police in the area should be more handy in handling such cases.

There was a sudden thunder outside, and the light illuminated the fox's body for a moment. When it died, its mouth was open, and the exposed teeth showed some horror.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the dark clouds began to gather together.

Lin Yunqi: "Go down the mountain early."

Once the heavy rain falls, it is not convenient to drive.

Nie Yan: "Go first, I'll wait for the police to arrive."

Then he gave Lin Yunqi the keys and asked him to drive his own car.

"What about you?"

"I'll go with the police car later."

Before driving to the bottom of the mountain, there was already rain in the sky, and there was a roar from time to time, which was a sign of torrential rain.

Lin Yunqi was not used to off-road driving, so Mao Shiba was finally responsible for driving.

Seeing Bai Ci playing with his mobile phone, and the lightning outside the window, Lin Yunqi lectured like a teaching director: "It is easy to be struck by lightning when using a mobile phone in this weather."

Bai Ci put the phone away almost obediently.

Seeing this scene through the rearview mirror, Mao Shiba couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The car drove out of the mountain safely, but due to the heavy rain, it was a mess when it arrived in the main city. It was said that it was not good to play with mobile phones in thunderstorm weather, but during the long waiting process, all three of them started playing.

Mao Shiba suddenly said, "The things in the temple today reminded me of a story...a ghost."

Bai Ci: "Yan ghost? I heard this story when I was very young."

Mao Shiba: "..."

Day, didn't you quietly send me a text message to tell me, and then let me relay it?

Mao Shiba didn't see through his trick, and continued: "Yangui likes to hide dead fox corpses in unknown small temples, so that people who come to burn incense and worship Buddha will be contaminated with peach blossom evil, and then identify the real prey from them."

Lin Yunqi was aroused by the story: "Prey?"

"People who have meritorious deeds from their ancestors, but have bad nature. The ghosts plunder their auspicious aura and deceive the way of heaven, so that they can turn themselves into little Buddhas." Mao Shiba: "Ordinarily auspicious aura can only be found in families of great kindness, and they can often meet Bad luck turns bad luck, but if it is a junior who does not live up to expectations, Yan Gui can find an opportunity to take advantage of."

Lin Yunqi felt that the story was interesting, and subconsciously curled the corner of his mouth.

Mao Shiba was almost overshadowed by his laughter, and immediately added after speaking: "There are many criminals who imitate bizarre stories to commit crimes, and this time there may be one."

When we arrived at the community, it was almost evening, so Lin Yunqi went upstairs as quickly as possible to catch up on sleep.

……

Nie Yan is a person who never misses any details. He compared the fortune teller's account with all the accounts in several dating groups. There are more than 4000 people in total, and he finally found it.

This person's nickname is 'Yan Bubu'.

The IP of the other party shows that it is abroad, which is obviously covered up.

Bai Ci's text message was like a burst of timely rain: [The fortune teller has approved the application. 】

Nie Yan drove to Lin Yunqi's community again, but this time he went straight to Bai Ci's house.

dong dong dong.

His knock on the door was not very polite.

"What's the matter?" Bai Ci asked directly through the door without even looking at the door.

Nie Yan raised his eyebrows: "I didn't come here because you said that the fortune teller passed the friend request."

Bai Ci stood up and opened the door.

"My family has never had any good people in the same line." As if thinking of something, he knocked on the table, and the skeleton dog ran over after hearing the sound, with a flattering face: "My respected master, what can I do for you?"

"You texted?"

Skeleton Dog nodded, so it didn't bother to investigate. There was a reason for this kind of thing, and of course Nie Yan was left to deal with the rest.

Nie Yan cut to the chase: "Have you ever had a good dog in your ancestors?"

Skeleton Dog: "What's the definition of 'good'?"

"Doing good and accumulating virtue will benefit one side."

Skeleton Dog nodded: "Then my ancestors were all good dogs."

Not to mention Nie Yan, even Bai Ci looked at it meaningfully.

Skeleton Dog explained: "In the development of history, there will never be a time of chaos. My family is naturally brave and warlike, and we only fight the strongest, so if any big monster is born, the ancestors will fight immediately. If there are demons, the ancestors will fight more. It was a bloody battle of ecstasy.

...Humans, weapons and physical strength were mediocre in that era.My clan likes to fight alone, and many evil creatures will avoid them. The ancestors will cooperate with humans. "

Nie Yan could hear his temples twitch... Isn't this the early police dog? !

Hearing the words, Bai Ci was thoughtful instead, and said, "No wonder."

In the Dharma-ending Age, whether it is cultivating the Tao or cultivating demons, they are all turned into dust.In order to survive in the world, Wu Yi had to pay a huge price to fall into a deep sleep, and let the heavens forget him by going through a side door.

It's fine that the bone dogs of the bone dog family have not been rejected by the heavens, and they have been able to "domineeringly" and live to this day.

Nie Yan stared at Skeleton Dog for a long time, but was interrupted by the other party's voice: "Don't look, you can't see the golden light on the demon's crooked way, unless I take the initiative to show it."

As he uttered a series of incantations, the bones all over his body suddenly seemed to be coated with golden light.

"It was taught by a great monk when we were cooperating with human beings. It's called the Vajra Indestructible Magical Art."

"..."

The skeleton dog brought them the genealogy, and each of them had a proper name, Quan Jiangyi, Quan Jianglie... and the life span was very short, some even died before their thirties.

"Because we are too belligerent, those who can live over a hundred in the past are long-lived."

"..."
