When it was dark in the afternoon, the rain almost stopped. Dr. Li and Xi Shengmo and six others arrived in Niutang Village.

The three sheriffs were walking in the rain in the carriage, and Dr. Li and Zhang Bicheng were squeezed into the carriage. They were tired and shocked and were drenched by the heavy rain. They could finally sit in the carriage that was bumpy but not the pain of wind and rain for a while.

In addition to them, there was also a tied second brother in the carport and the corpse of the eldest brother who had been shot into rotten meat. The carriage was full of blood. However, Dr. Li and Zhang Bicheng were both engaged in medicine and did not care about the corpse or smell. The two ate the meals brought by the sheriffs, and then thanked God for promising their prayers, giving them food and warm rest.

The encounter in the afternoon was because of the desperate situation of the elder brother and others, and the situation instantly turned into a gunfight, which was correctly called suicide.

Xi Shengmo captured one alive first, and the eldest brother was beaten into a sieve, and Yuan Si would turn around and run away.

Both of them should have been caught, but Xi Shengmo was always clamping the living person under him and couldn't take off his body. He had to find a hand to help tie up the second senior brother together. A little sheriff was too nervous because he fired a living person for the first time and strictly followed the "Supervisor Charity" because Yuan Sihui seemed to have only a knife in his hand, so he fired at the elder brother who was the most threatening. He fired five bullets in the plum blossom pistol at one time, and had to watch Yuan Sihui's back and refilling the ammunition in a hurry. The other one who is a coachman was not free. His gun had a rifle, but it was also time-consuming to load the front boom. Besides, he could only kill him with a long spear, or chase him with an empty spear?

As a result, the three young sheriffs, who had encountered this for the first time, and even for the first time in their police career, shot a thug at close range, and captured the other one ran away alive. They had no experience in how to coordinate this situation. They hesitated for a moment. Yuan Sihui, who was scared over there, relied on the familiarity of the terrain, had already run far away and could not catch up.

After the battle, although they captured one beautifully and fought one domineeringly, the three sheriffs seemed to be frightened and ran to Dr. Li and the others to ask this and that, feeling incredible about what they encountered today.

When he heard Dr. Li say that one of them knew his name, "Here to kill you?! How is that possible!" Xi Shengmo gasped and asked in disbelief: "In this Longchuan area, any civilian in the city, even if he doesn't know Liu Guojian, he knows you. Who would come to trouble you? He still wants to kill you? Isn't this crazy?"

The three of them asked Dr. Li to rest in the car first. They beat and scolded the second senior brother in the rain and took their confessions, but the second senior brother twisted his head and said nothing.

"Boss, what do you think? If you don't go to Niu Tang, go back to the bureau to deal with this matter first?" A subordinate asked Xi Sheng.

Xi Shengmo looked at the rainstorm that had turned into a light rain. He took off his hat and shook his neck in the rain, and shaking it lightly. After a while, he said, "This is so weird! Their motives are so strange. Trouble with two preachers? There are so many weapons, and they even fired! Kill the best preachers, pastors and doctors in our world?"

"Maybe I'm seeing a foreigner following Dr. Li, wanting to rob?" Another subordinate asked a question.

"He knows Dr. Li!" Xi Shengmo refuted his subordinates: "Doctor Li will have money? Besides, the foreign brother is not as good as Dr. Li, so why are he wearing women's clothes? Who would rob such a person?"

After thinking for a while, Xi Shengmo turned around and asked Dr. Li what he was doing.

When he understood that Dr. Li wanted to go to Niu?tang to see if there were any cults or liars, Xi Shengmo only felt that his scalp was tight-fitting. The court hated the local primitive religions and repeatedly cracked down on them: worshiping God's religion, White Lotus religion and other religious communities.

Especially those who hate those who claim to have divine power and write prophecies every day saying that the emperor is going to be ruined, and this kind of religion must be destroyed.

"Is it because Dr. Li is going to check out the murderer that Tianshi Master? "Xi Shengmo asked Dr. Li about this possibility, mainly asking Dr. Li if he had asked others to know his itinerary in advance, so that he was ambushed.

"How is that possible? I heard about this at noon, so where will it spread so quickly? Can the news fly?" Dr. Li immediately retorted, but immediately he was stunned for a moment, widened his eyes, and murmured: "'You must not curse the king, nor do you have this thought. You must not curse the rich in your bedroom. For the birds in the sky will spread this sound. Those with wings will also tell this matter.' [Ecclesiastes 10:20]"

There is indeed something that can make the message pass like a flying one, that is, the spirit, the spirit that flies all over the sky.

"I must go to Niutang to take a look!" Dr. Li suddenly shouted.

I originally wanted Dr. Li and his men to return to the county town first, but I didn't expect Dr. Li and his men to become active. Xi Shengmo and the others looked at each other.

"Doctor Li, you are both affected and frightened today. Let's go back and rest first. Let's tell you the situation." Xi Shengmo persuaded.

"Don't! Maybe there are really evil spirits there, you will need us!" said Dr. Li.

Hearing that it was possible to fight with monsters and monsters, the three sheriffs Xi Shengmo were also a little guilty. The three of them whispered for a while, and finally decided to take Dr. Li and the others to Niutang Village to take a look.

====================================================

Niu Tang Village is not big either. When you lean against the railway tracks, you can hear the iron river carts croaking and entering the entrance of the village.

The village chief and the villagers were very enthusiastic about the group of people. Of course, the sheriff was not enthusiastic. Doctor Li knew everyone, so that was the last support for life. Although he was suspicious of the donkey cart dripping blood, it did not prevent the village chief from leading the group into his home for a short rest.

Xi Shengmo put the investigation of the railway shooting aside and first asked Dr. Li about the matter about the Tianshi, but the village chief didn't seem to know it very well. He was even surprised when he heard that the place where Taishi Gao was settled in his village was in his own village. He repeatedly denied it, saying that several outsiders in his village were all work, and there were only mobile preachers who would occasionally use prayer to cure diseases, but he really didn't hear that such Tianshi used divine power to cure diseases.

But he knew that people who had met Gao Tianshi had no airtight wall in the small village, and of course it was because everyone did not have airtight mouths. They always like to talk about things that were proud of themselves, especially non-Christians.

Under the leadership of the village chief, Xi Shengmo and his younger brother rushed into such a man's house with great momentum, but the man swears: He has always been a firm believer in Jesus, and has never had anything to do if he has ever had a fortune or a ghost, or a slander.

After staring at him for half a minute, Xi Shengmo pushed him away and rushed into his house. He immediately searched, smashed the urn bottle, threw the broken mat on the beam of the house, and poked the bamboo pole at the roof thatched, scaring his wife and children all over the room.

The man wanted to go into the house to stop him, but another sheriff immediately grabbed his collar: You are not allowed to move, you are not allowed to move!

Five minutes later, Xi Shengmo came out of the room with ash in his hands, and whipped back and forth with a stack of yellow straw paper covered with talismans in his hand, shouting: "What is this? Where did it come from?"

"Master! I was confused for a moment! I'll do it all!" The man thought it was a serious crime to kill the family, and he knelt in front of Xi Shengmo with a bang and burst into tears.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xi Shengmo, his subordinates and the village chief called a few young people to come to the cave where Gao Tianshi settled.

Before their group of people left the village to search the mountains, "Brother Xi, it's almost dark now. Why don't we come to visit them tomorrow?" a subordinate said with a little scared.

"What should they do if they run away? They may deliberately murder our Dr. Li and the preacher!" Xi Shengmo said while checking his pistol.

"But, Dr. Li said they might have evil spirits!" The man's face turned a little pale, and the other coachman also added: "I heard that there are many people in their holes. If they are crazy and rush over, we will only have ten guns in the village, and most of them are old-fashioned brown besse, even bird guns! I don't know if they have weapons, what are the weapons? Why not talk about them tomorrow."

"You don't think it's enough for more than a dozen guns?" Xi Shengmo looked at his subordinates with a surprised expression, inserted the gun into the holster, and tightly gaited his leg. He said while tied it up: "I'm not afraid of evil spirits and people! If evil spirits can do anything to me, what do you want Jesus?! Who dares to rush up first and knock down with one shot! The last of the three madmen in the afternoon also ran away? We can knock down the first ten people with two pistols! I don't believe that there are ten people in this world who dare to sacrifice their lives for others!! Only we and the Royal Army can do this!"

After saying that, he straightened his waist and pointed at the younger subordinate and said, "This time we may face a large group of people. Just fire your guns and stop shooting all the bullet boxes like in the afternoon."

In this way, in the drizzle, a group of people touched the outside of the entrance of the cave with weapons and torches.

After hearing the quietness in the cave, I looked at the dark inside and couldn't see clearly. Xi Shengmo asked someone to light a torch, holding the torch in one hand and the pistol that opened the hammer in the other hand, and the first one to touch the wall slowly.

Seeing the young inquirer leading the way in, he was the first to enter, and was specially pressed to the end of the team patted a sheriff beside him on the shoulder and said, "Isn't that child your leader? A powerful general, I'm the first to enter!"

The sheriff who was held behind the formation as a deterrent and deterrent firepower player embarrassedly put the spear in his arms, touched his nose, thought for a while, and pointed to Dr. Li and Zhang Bicheng, who had not heard the two men's advantages, and smiled and said, "It's all well taught by the pastors. Attacking is the vanguard and retreating is the tail of the temple. We Christians should do."

The village chief stood on tiptoe at the root of the mountain rock, and saw the team starting to extend into the hole together. He touched his big long hair in fear and said to himself: "The people in Tiehe River were in chaos back then, but fortunately I didn't follow him to make a fuss."

====================

Xi Shengmo held a torch with one hand and a pistol with the other, and took a step like a cat step, but it was very slow, because it was already dusk and the cave was very dark and the torch could not see the panoramic view. He turned around from time to time, and the muzzle turned with his eyes, ready to roar at the enemy he saw without hesitation. Every time the torch on his other hand was shaken to make a whirring sound of wind when he was about to shoot, the light and shadow also shone brightly and darkly.

There is no figure in the cave.

But from the trampled flat and hard cave land, the ashes wiped from the clothes on the wall, the smell of smoke and sweat that was still floating in the air, the quiet cave seemed like a steaming quilt. Although the people inside were gone, the temperature could not be eliminated.

Finally, the large army entered the cave, and more than ten torches were photographed back and forth. Everyone saw that the cave had already left the empty cave, leaving only a piece of garbage.

Dr. Li strode to the crowd and stared at the Buddha statue that was covered with half of his face, silent.

Xi Shengmo squatted at another hole behind the Buddha statue and counted the pits on the ground with his two subordinates.

Because people want to eat, there is naturally no stove for you in the cave, but just dig a hole on the spot, put the pot on top, and cook like firewood under it, so-called burying the pot to make rice.

After counting the diameter and number of this stove pit, they can naturally calculate that the food here is served at most nearly one hundred people.

The cow they caught this afternoon said: Master Gao Tian was not allowed to mention him to others at will, otherwise the magic would not work. He was known by other villagers. It was just that his wife praised him after his daughter drank the talisman water he bought and cured his illness. However, his daughter's illness only recovered for three months, and it was only during the period when he spent all the two oceans of deposits in the family. After that, the condition suddenly worsened and died without treatment. The small coffin was parked at home before he had time to bury it. Therefore, there was a large stack of yellow talisman paper in his house that he had no time to burn.

A hundred people have gathered in this place before, and even the surrounding villagers don’t know?

It can cure diseases, tell fortunes, invite dead ghosts, and hate Christ extremely, this is a den!

Either from the White Lotus Sect or from Maitreya Buddhism! The sweat beads on Xi Shengmo's forehead came out - this may be a big deal.

At this moment, the three sheriffs heard a dispute arose, and the two young villagers started fighting.

It turned out that they found an incense burner under the incense niche of the Buddha statue. This thing was heavy. Although they couldn't see the material clearly, they weighed the weight with their hands. Maybe it was pure copper. This thing was worth ten o'clock!

As a result, the two people who moved the incense burner out from under the incense niche started arguing, saying that what they saw first was asked to help each other, and the incense burner should belong to them.

The village chief and other villagers did not pay attention. They were all consuming and picking up the offerings on the altar, with meat and fruits on them. When everyone found out, they rushed up to grab them. While eating, they shouted: This group of guys from somewhere is so good, and they gave everyone good things they couldn't bear to buy.

No one cared about robbing the incense burner, but the two started fighting, alarming Xi Shengmo and the others.

When the sheriff came out, he saw two young men fighting in front of the Buddha statue. Only Dr. Li and Zhang Bicheng wanted to pull them away. The village chief leaned against the altar, his arms were bulging, his cheeks were bulging, and he couldn't stop them, so he watched with a smile. The incense burner between them was kicked down, and the incense ash and unburned paper scraps were spread all over the floor.

Xi Shengmo looked at it and suddenly stepped forward. Doctor Li tactfully, thinking that he was going to pull the squad, but unexpectedly, Xi Shengmo didn't care about the two guys on the ground, ran to the incense burner, half-kneeled on the ground, picked out a few pieces of paper debris from the incense ash, and looked carefully.

"Take a torch!" Xi Shengmo made a gesture, and turned to look at the confetti, with vague words on it.

Seeing the young leader, it seemed that he had discovered something. The village chief and Dr. Li and others surrounded him and came to see. The two young men fighting outside fought for a long time, and then they found that no one cared about him. Of course, they would not want to live to the death with the other party. Why would they fight without a fight? The two of them got up in disappointment and looked at each other.

Xi Shengmo held fragments burned by fire half the palm, but he saw one that read: "The Demon of the Foreign Cult is horizontal..."

He took out another one and blew away the incense ash on it. It was written with "Maitreya Buddha's entrusted life". The word "Mi" had been burned half of it, but it was still clearly visible.

The more Xi Shengmo looked, the more sweat it was on his forehead - a cult appeared on this territory?

He turned his head and shouted, "You search everywhere! When you find the paper with words, hand it over to me immediately!"

Everyone responded with a loud noise and began to hold the torch around to search for paper sheets, because the altar had already been snatched up; there were only two young people standing still. After a moment of stunnedness, they rushed towards the incense burner again, but they were all full of tears. No one cared about who the incense burner was.

=============================

The next morning, Xi Shengmo had no intention of investigating the railway shooting. They hired two vehicles to transport the bodies and prisoners back to the county town, as well as some physical evidence. Dr. Li didn't want to leave, but they were important witnesses and had to go back to record confessions, so they had to follow him.

Two hours later, they arrived at the county town at 9 a.m.

"What? Maybe there is a cult?" The director who had just started working held a hat in one hand and held the coat rack in the other, turned his head and shouted in surprise.
Chapter completed!
