Chapter 1194: Destined to meet thousands of miles away
Mrs. Li lives alone in a low house at the west end of the village. She is in her fifties, but she is as skinny and skinny as if she is in her seventies. She has bow-legged legs and a slightly staggering walk. The villagers have all fled, so she can only stay.
Jiang Lishui accompanied He Lingchuan to the door and said to Mrs. Li: "This is Mr. He from our Chamber of Commerce. He also wants to pay homage to the Lord."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li's face relaxed, she opened the door and led the three of them to the back hall.
The back hall was a mess, with everything in tatters. Only the north corner was clean.
There is a shrine here, with a statue as high as a palm in it.
It is an old statue carved from willow wood. Over time, the color has faded by half, but it can still be seen that it is human-shaped, but its hands only have four fingers. It has a ferocious expression, a red face, and fangs. There are a bunch of skulls at its feet and a neck.
Also wearing a skull necklace.
Anyone would be shocked if they saw such a statue unexpectedly at night. But Mrs. Li lit a candle in front of the statue and illuminated its face.
There was only one candle lit in the whole house, and her own room was still dark.
Incense is still offered in front of the statue, and three plates of fruit are placed. Although the peanuts are a bit shriveled and the fruits are a bit scratchy, it can be seen that Mrs. Li has tried her best. There is really nothing to offer in the small mountain village.
He Lingchuan freed his mind and quickly put some incense on the statue.
When he was offering incense, he didn't think about anything, and then asked Mrs. Li: "How do you know that the murder in Jishi Village twenty years ago was committed by Tianzun?"
Mrs. Li pursed her lips: "At that time, the village invited a heavenly master, and the heavenly master said so. One year, the heavenly master personally went out to fetch people, and all the people within twenty miles of the Howling Forest disappeared. He saw it with his own eyes."
Dong Rui wanted to point at the statue, but Granny Li stretched out her hand and slapped her. Fortunately, he dodged quickly. "How do you know what it will look like?"
"This statue is quite old. It was brought from Liu Nha Trang more than ten years ago."
The implication is that Mrs. Li doesn’t know who carved it.
He Lingchuan looked at the statue intently.
As soon as he came in, he found that something was wrong with this thing, and there were wisps of black energy lingering around him.
Evil spirit.
Because of the blessing of Panlong City, he is more likely to see evil spirits than others.
He took a few steps back and forth in the back hall and found that no matter where he went, the eyes of the statue were staring at him.
“Where is Liu Nha Trang?”
"Thirty miles northwest from here."
"Isn't that also close to the Howling Forest?"
When He Lingchuan asked, he learned that the owner of Liu Nha Village led more than 700 people in the village ten years ago to serve Tianzun diligently. There are statues of Tianzun everywhere in the village, large and small, with different expressions, but they all have the same appearance.
.
“Why go there to get a statue?”
"It's so powerful." Granny Li said of course, "They say it's very effective to invite evil spirits to come back and control the house."
"Do you pray to it all day long?"
"With so many lives lost, of course I have to pay my respects."
Just as He Lingchuan was about to speak, someone rushed in from outside and said to Jiang Lishui: "The Heavenly Master is here."
Dong Rui asked, "Have you also invited the Heavenly Master?"
Jiang Lishui immediately replied: "The patrol introduced him and said that Master Fu is the best at catching monsters. The villagers in the south also said that there was a rat demon causing trouble in their homes, and Master Fu could be easily caught as soon as he went there. Two years ago, a foreigner came from outside.
The giant python monster lurking by the water to eat people was also solved by Master Fu."
He also has guards around him, and he also has some magical powers. But when it comes to catching ghosts, you have to find professionals.
"Fu?" Dong Rui chuckled, "Could it be Fu Liushan?"
Jiang Lishui exclaimed: "You also recognize him?"
The two of them couldn't laugh or cry. The Golden Flash Plain is so big, why did Fu Liushan have to go here? "Please come in."
Not long after, a familiar figure walked in outside Granny Li's stone courtyard.
Sure enough, it was Fu Liushan.
So many days have passed, and he hasn't changed his clothes. He just added an extra cloak and is still as unshaven as before.
He still held the bell in his hand, and as soon as he entered the yard, the bell kept jingling.
"Oh, what a murderer." He pressed the bell and then raised his head, he saw He Lingchuan and the two of them, and was stunned, "Eh? Why is it you two again?"
He Lingchuan smiled: "Where in life do we not meet?"
Dong Rui bared his teeth at him: "We are destined to meet you thousands of miles away."
Fu Liushan scratched his head: "Who is in charge here? Why did you call me here when you two are here?"
He had seen the skills of these two people with his own eyes. He Lingchuan could even take over the town of Luo Shengjia, which was left over from the Golden Flash Empire. How could he still not solve the trouble in a small village?
"You're professional." He Lingchuan tilted his chin back a little, "Don't worry, I'll give you the money, we've just arrived."
Jiang Lishui nodded beside him: "Yes, yes, I'll give you the money."
As soon as he said, "The money will be given," Fu Liushan felt at ease. It was not in vain that he had driven dozens of miles of mountain roads to come here, and his horseshoes were all worn away.
But he was a good person. One look at Jiang Lishui's attitude and he knew that He Lingchuan had a higher status.
It seems that the person who asked me to come over to eliminate the demon is a chamber of commerce, so is this guy in front of me really from the chamber of commerce?
When did the force of businessmen become so high?
With these thoughts in mind, he walked to the back hall and took a look, and he said, "Xuanlu Tianzun?"
Someone knows the goods, Mrs. Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this is Xuanlu Tianzun."
"And this is a familiar statue of Xuanlu Tianzun." Fu Liushan also looked at the Tianzun statue attentively, "You are so generous, mother-in-law, for keeping this thing at home."
Jiang Lishui didn't understand and asked: "What is a familiar image?"
Fu Liushan called everyone to exit the back hall, found a reason to send Granny Li away, and placed a barrier before whispering: "A familiar statue is a statue that has been consecrated. The statue inside was once personally illuminated by Xuanlu Tianzun.
If we have looked at it or visited it, we may have become its ears, eyes or eyes. If we speak in front of it, it may listen to it.”
The two people nearby listened with great interest. Fu Liushan was very bluffing these days.
Dong Rui travels all over the country. Although he can catch ghosts and subjugate demons with three-legged cat tricks, he can't compare with professionals like Fu Liushan.
Jiang Lishui felt a chill in his heart: "Are you saying that Xuanlu Tianzun has been staring at us just now?"
"Maybe." Fu Liushan shrugged, "If you keep evil spirits at home, you will easily get sick and prematurely age. This old woman doesn't know how powerful she is. Maybe she just invited the statue back not long ago."
He asked Jiang Lishui: "I heard that this mining area has been abandoned for a while, and it was only recently that the injustice was redressed... and no one moved in?"
In a land of war and chaos, these chambers of commerce still dare to do business. They really want money rather than their lives.
"Yes, all the villagers in Jishi Village have fled long ago. We secured the mines in Rolling Stone Valley, recruited people from four villages and eight villages, and spent several months reorganizing the mining area and restarting mining."
