The pagoda is located in the east of Jingjiang Town, a long way from the streets where foreigners gather.

Zhao Qianwu led the way, and in order to avoid being taken advantage of by He Jianbing, several people ran fast on the empty long street in the rain.

However, after rushing out a few blocks, Zhao Qianwu, who was at the front, suddenly raised his hand and made a fist, signaling for the three people behind him to stop.

The street in front was occupied by a procession to welcome the bride.

In such bad weather, pedestrians can't even walk safely, but this team is very persistent.

Needless to say, it must be He Bo's wedding team, and only their piety to the "god" can make them work so hard.

The bright red sedan swayed back and forth in the wind and rain. The originally festive color looked particularly dark because it was soaked by the rain. The bearers carrying the sedan did not dare to hold an umbrella, even if they could not open their eyes due to the wind and rain, they did not dare to have any thoughts. Relax.

In front of and behind the sedan chair, the troupe of musical instruments, string instruments, and singers had to perform as usual every time they walked a certain distance.

Gongs, drums, suona, and the auspicious words of the matchmaker at the front.

Wind, rain, thunder, and frightened cats and dogs howling in nearby houses.

All kinds of sounds are intertwined and mixed, and finally become a strange tune, which makes people who listen feel panicked.

What was even more surprising was that the wedding team was longer than expected, and there were nearly a hundred people behind it. They were not just watching the fun, but a group of workers carrying various things.

Notwithstanding the tables, chairs and benches placed on the carriage, whole fans of pork and mutton, and various vegetables, there was actually a small cart piled with gold and silver utensils at the end, and there were quite a few of them.

What, now it’s weird to ask for a wife and you have to give a bride price?

No, that's not right.

Look at this posture...the dowry given by the woman?

This inconsistent scene made Yan Jing curl his lips, and turned his eyes to the building on the side, preparing to go directly to the roof and jump over the street. The other three people had the same idea.

But just when a few people were preparing to take action, Zhao Qianwu suddenly caught a glimpse of the man standing at the entrance of the alley across the street and said coldly,

"He Jianbing!"

"Hey, you guys, are you interested in getting rid of that guy from the Special Affairs Bureau and cooperating with me?"

He Jianbing, with sunken eyes and a sinister face, pressed his left arm against the side of the alleyway wall and shouted loudly,

"I have a way for you to survive this otherworldly incident safely, and there are many benefits. As long as you can kill the guy who has been chasing me for several months in this world like Nougat, I guarantee that you will not suffer any loss!"

"How dare you appear in front of us... He Jianbing, even if you survive this incident, I will catch you."

Zhao Qianwu obviously did not expect that He Jianbing would dare to appear so openly. He stepped forward with his right foot to gain momentum and said under the sound of wind and rain,

"Surround him and take this opportunity to kill him."

This highly wanted criminal who is good at evil magic is undoubtedly the biggest destabilizing factor in this incident.

Solving He Jianbing can save a lot of worries.

In fact, someone had already taken action the second before Zhao Qianwu uttered the second half of his sentence.

"Catch me? It seems you haven't seen the situation clearly yet. My abilities can be brought to their fullest here, and there are many ways to deal with you..."

Before he finished speaking, the water blade that quietly formed behind He Jianbing had already pierced his throat.

Not a drop of blood was seen.

"It's just a clone. He deliberately put on this posture just to make us suspicious of each other... His real body should be nearby. This guy previously went to the east of Jingjiang Town where the county government is located. Although he knows about the pagoda, But I don’t know the route and the speed is slower than expected.”

While talking, the wedding team in the middle of the street had already left. Yan Jing walked a few steps, grabbed the thin paper figure attached to the wall, and threw it aside. He had no intention of giving He Jianbing a chance to speak freely and delay their steps.

The team continued to move forward, and on a balcony of a building not far away, He Jianbing held a paper figure with a hole in his throat and watched Zhao Qianwu and others leave.

"Raja... no wonder he is so confident."

Even though he was a fugitive, he had paid attention to the news during this period, so he naturally recognized this bald swordsman.

Looking at the direction of Zhendong Pagoda, He Jianbing turned around and left, walking in the opposite direction.

If the paper man did not work, he would not be able to reach the pagoda before these people. Instead of forcing them to catch up and let them wait and wait, he might as well change his mind. There are many things in this town that he can use.

Without He Jianbing's interference, the team encountered no further surprises during the rest of the journey.

There is still an hour and a half before night or unitary time.

The pagoda in Jingjiang Town is not located in a temple, but is an independent building with an average scale. It is a small three-story pagoda among various types of pagodas and is surrounded by dense residential buildings.

Yan Jing and others walked through the streets and alleys, observing the pagoda as they walked.

According to the records in the county government archives, the pagoda suffered a small-scale collapse due to an earthquake more than ten years ago, and the pagoda body was also damaged. Yan Jing originally thought that after so many years, it should have been restored to its original state.

I didn't expect to get closer until I noticed that the pagoda had an obvious tilt angle. There was even a considerable amount of damage on the eaves of the second floor on the west side, which was still eye-catching even under the gloomy sky.

"Given the respect that the people of Jingjiang Town have for Sandu Buddha, they have not repaired the pagoda for so many years."

Yu Zhen stretched out his hand to lift the bamboo hat, stared at the damaged area of ​​the pagoda and said,

"Should someone have stopped them, the government, or the Buddhist carver in the pagoda?"

“You’ll know once you go in and take a look.”

With the financial resources of Jingjiang Town, it should not be difficult to build a pagoda. In Yan Jing's view, there must be some reason for the pagoda to remain in this state.

"There are officers guarding the main entrance, and they will stop anyone who approaches."

Yu Ke, who had been here before, said from behind.

"The pagoda doesn't just have the main entrance. Well, you can also go from there. I don't believe there are people looking up to the sky in the rain like this."

Yan Jing had no intention of taking the main entrance.

The moment he finished speaking, he jumped onto the top of the nearby house, and several others followed suit.

Using the roof of a residential building as a stepping stone, the group of people approached the pagoda and easily crossed the short space and went directly to the window on the second floor of the pagoda.

The sound of wind and rain easily drowned out the noise of their movements, and the officials below had no intention of coming out to take a look.

Yu Ke took out the knife he carried with him and easily pried open the second-floor window.

As a result, as soon as the window was opened, several people were stunned for half a second.

Because the position of this window is facing the side face of a giant Buddha, but because of the dim light in the tower, part of the Buddha's face is in shadow, except for the chin, which is slightly bright.

The center of this pagoda has been completely opened to place the Buddha statues. Yan Jing originally thought that there was an empty floor behind the wall, so he could only jump to the ground on the first floor.

Unexpectedly, behind the windows on the second floor, there are still corridors and stairs attached to the wall, leading directly to the top of the pagoda.

Several people climbed into the pagoda from the window one after another.

Ta-ta

Close the window, and the crisp knocking sound echoes in the pagoda.

Yan Jing took off his bamboo hat, walked forward to the corridor fence, and looked down at the oil lamp at the base of the Buddha statue.

The wick casts a dim glow.

A man with a thin figure and disheveled hair, wearing a brown and yellow tattered monk's robe, was busy with something with his head down.

in the open space around him.

There were piles of scattered wooden blocks and various carving tools.

"Is this the Buddhist sculptor?"

Yu Zhen asked Zhao Qianwu in a low voice from the side.

Even though the pagoda looks seriously damaged from the outside, it is still one of the few buildings in Jingjiang Town, and the Sandu Buddha statue is even more respected.

None of the people present had expected such a scene inside the pagoda.
