Compared with the ancestral hall of Jiangfu being struck by lightning, it caused a sensation among ordinary people.
In the city, the nobles, big and small officials, squires and wealthy businessmen all learned more about the inside story last night.
They all looked at the Wu Zang Taoist Temple with astonished eyes.
When the daytime curfew ended, they immediately sent out their own eyes and ears to find out any information about the Five Zang Taoist Temple.
As a result, the information presented on their desks all contained records about unknown Taoist temples.
Talent withers.
Destitute.
Even the gentlemen in Liang Shang are too lazy to patronize it, and there is really no money to be made.
There are not many incense believers, only sporadic incense sticks from neighbors.
In the past, this Taoist temple of the five internal organs has always been a small Taoist temple that few people paid attention to. There are too many small Taoist temples and temples like this in the city, and no one will pay attention to them.
but.
This Taoist temple of the five internal organs seems to have suddenly risen overnight. It usually remains quiet, but at a critical moment, the hidden strength that emerges behind it shocks all the noble families in the city.
How did the Five Zang Taoist Temple achieve this, so that the three families of He, Xue, and Jia could put aside their past grudges and share the same hatred against the outside world?
Even Bailong Temple seems to be deeply involved.
According to the information sent by the spies, the changes in the Five Zang Taoist Temple seem to have started with the arrival of three people and one sheep in the Taoist temple. The He family took the initiative to expand and renovate the Taoist temple...
For a while.
There is an undercurrent surging in the city.
Many pairs of eyes have been quietly paying attention to the Five Zang Taoist Temple.
The outside world is full of strange clouds and waves.
It does not affect the happy little world of three people and one sheep in the Taoist temple.
Yesterday, we spent a whole day running around, rushing to the Jia family's ancestral graves, rushing back to Fucheng, and going to jail. Jin An and the old Taoist priest were tortured a lot. They slept soundly all day, and then they woke up in high spirits.
Today is a rare sunny day.
Just like Jin An and the old Taoist priest who slept until they woke up naturally, they felt indescribably comfortable.
After a day of fermentation, the news spread from ten to ten, and from ten to a hundred... Everyone in the whole city knew that the Jiang family's ancestral hall was struck by lightning and collapsed.
Even the masons in the Taoist temple were talking about this.
When the old Taoist priest who had just woken up from his sleep heard about the collapse of the Jiang family's ancestral hall, he excitedly said that he was very happy, but the masons were confused by what he heard.
"Little brother, do you think this is called retribution?" The old Taoist priest finally said to Jin An.
After a month of expansion, the Taoist temple is now almost completed.
All that is left is the painting and later reconstruction of the Gongde Hall.
We can already get a glimpse of the true appearance of the majestic and solemn Taoist temple. After the expansion, the Wuzang Taoist Temple now has four main halls, namely Sanqing Hall, Liuding Liujia Martial Hall, Wu Lei Emperor Hall, and the Gongde Hall, which has been half built.
"Master... I will be able to pick you up soon after the expansion of the Five Zang Taoist Temple is completed."
Jin An looked at the five-organ Taoist temple, which was getting better and better as it became more and more vigorous, and murmured something to the Hall of Merit and Virtue.
However, the originally appropriate atmosphere was broken by the thunderous sound of hunger around him, which brought Jin An back to reality.
Gululu——
Jin An turned to look at the old Taoist priest beside him.
The old Taoist priest stayed with Jin An for a long time and became familiar with him, but he became thicker-skinned: "Little brother, the Five Zang Taoist Temple has become very popular, and it will definitely be carried forward in your hands. But while carrying forward the Five Zang Taoist Temple, little brother, you
Look at our Five Zang Temple...do we need to replenish the remaining food?"
"Old Tao, I only ate a few sweet cakes in a hurry on the Jia family's carriage yesterday. Now you point a knife at me, Old Tao, and you can't scrape out a drop of oil or water."
The old Taoist priest held his belly with his chest pressed against his back due to hunger, and said with a grimace.
Gululu——
Jin An's stomach also protested with dissatisfaction.
So, Jin An took the old Taoist priest and his sharp sword and planned to go directly to a restaurant instead of cooking dinner in the Taoist temple tonight.
But as soon as the three of them walked out of the Taoist temple, Jin An realized something was wrong, and there were many pairs of eyes staring at them secretly.
Those secret whistle eyes are just watching and have no malicious intent.
Jin An frowned and glanced in the direction of the secret whistle. He swept the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe on the ground and swept up a small pile of pebbles on the roadside.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Jin An fired a dozen stones, all of which hit the open space next to the hiding place of the secret sentry.
This is just a warning.
really.
That kind of prying eyes have all disappeared.
"Little Taoist Priest Jin'an, Taoist Chen, you have finally woken up. I just have something for you. The Jia family asked me to deliver it to you."
Uncle Lin, who happened to be sitting at the counter of the coffin shop, folding paper money, saw the three of Jin An and took out a bundle and handed it to Jin An.
"The people of the Jia family originally wanted to hand this thing over to you personally, the Taoist priest Jin'an, but the Taoist priest Jin'an and Taoist Chen have been sleeping. After the incident last night, there are many follow-up things in the Jia family.
It is waiting for processing, so I have been waiting here for a long time and no one has arrived. The Jia family asked me to keep this baggage on my behalf and give it to you when I see you."
The baggage has three layers inside and three layers outside.
Cover it tightly.
When I unpacked the bag layer by layer, there were two things inside, a small gold box.
Jin An took the gold box with surprised eyes, wondering what the Jia family wanted to give him, so they actually needed the gold box to suppress China.
But when Jin An took the gold box, he felt that the weight was wrong. The gold box was too light, and it was probably just covered with a layer of gold foil.
Jin An opened the lid of the gold box in front of Uncle Lin, and he was stunned.
Even the old Taoist priest was stunned.
"Snake scales? Snake meat?" the old Taoist priest shouted in surprise.
"Tsk tsk, these snake scales are moist and shiny. They haven't lost their luster yet. They are probably the scales that just fell off recently."
What was placed in the gold box was a small piece of flesh and blood with a snake scale on it.
"Huh?"
"Why does this snake meat have human skin? This skin doesn't look like a man's rough skin at all. This is a woman's human skin?"
Good guy! The old Taoist priest took a breath.
But the flesh and blood is not the flesh and blood of a living person, but the flesh of a corpse that is nourished by Yin Qi and filled with evil spirits.
On the pieces of human flesh grows the most conspicuous snake scale, which shines brightly when placed in the sun.
No wonder the Jia family was so serious about sealing this piece of human flesh in a gold box. The scene in front of them was terrifying enough for ordinary people.
What kind of person grows snake scales?
"Snake girl?"
"The dead turned into snakes?"
Jin An and the old Taoist priest carefully studied the pieces of human flesh in the gold box.
Uncle Lin raised his eyes and glanced at the gold box. Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing too many dead people in a coffin shop. Uncle Lin acted calmly: "By the way, there is one more thing. Mr. Jia passed away at the last moment before dawn.
, even with his wealth and noble character, he could not survive this disaster in the end."
Uncle Lin's words shocked both Jin An and the old Taoist priest.
"Before I left last night, I specially removed the poison from Mr. Jia's body. Logically speaking, he should not have died from the poison..."
The old Taoist priest fell silent halfway through his words.
Why.
To be continued...
