Now, Qiu Wuhen had a general understanding of the case, and then continued: "What happens after that?"

Xie Zhigao said: "After that, I disguised myself and squatted near his house every day. For more than a year, he would go out every once in a while, and it was to Yeji Temple. Although I followed him all the time, he

I never bring guards or servants with me, but I don’t dare to take action anymore. It scared me to death that time, so I can only look for a safer opportunity. As before, he always comes out when the city gate is about to close, and then arrives.

He kowtows all the time at the Main Hall of Yeji Temple and leaves just before dawn the next day. Then he goes to the city and goes home. It's like this every time and he doesn't say a word."

"I didn't know why he was like this at first, but now I know. It turned out that he hid the golden Buddha in the belly of the Buddha statue. This Buddha and the demon are very evil. Maybe the Buddha and the demon control him, so that he often comes here to kowtow.

, I made a guess. But now it seems that this guess is wrong, because there is no golden Buddha there at all. Where did the golden Buddha go?"

Qiu Wuhen turned to look at the deaf-mute monk standing there.

The deaf-mute monk was smiling innocently at them. Maybe he discovered it and hid it.

Qiu Wuhen said to Xie Zhigao again: "Have you never suspected that the Buddha statue is hidden in this temple?"

"Of course I was suspicious. I was suspicious when he first came here, but that time I was almost killed by him. After that, I didn't dare to approach him again. After he left, I searched everything around him, but

I couldn't find that thing. I also wanted to arrest the deaf-mute monk and question him, but he was so weird that I couldn't control him at all. I once hit his head from behind with bricks and iron rods, trying to knock him unconscious.

Then I tied him up and asked him if the thing was in the temple, but the bricks were broken and the iron rods were bent. He didn't fall down. He just smiled at me and said, "Do whatever you need to do. It's so scary."

"I no longer dare to do anything to him. I know he is a very powerful person, but he will not take the initiative to kill people. I begged him to tell me where the Buddha and the demon are. He ignored me, maybe he

You can’t hear it at all, and you still do whatever you need to do, and don’t care about me.”

"I had to look for it myself. I almost turned the entire temple upside down, including the Zen room where the monk lived. I even tore open the quilts and pillows and looked, but there was nothing there. But I never imagined that he would hide it in

Inside the belly of Tathagata Buddha in the Main Hall, the deaf-mute monk must have seen it after hiding it, and the deaf-mute monk stole it and moved it to another place to hide it."

Qiu Wuhen had no interest in the statue of a Buddha with a devil's body. It sounded so evil that it would be easier to invite the gods than to give them away. Maybe Xia Houtian's experience could explain all this. Xia Houtian stayed

That Buddha statue turned out to be so obsessive that he even went to Yeji Temple to worship him every once in a while. This was so evil. And judging from what happened afterwards, he seemed to have no idea that he had come to the temple as if he was sleepwalking.

Kowtow to the Buddha statue.

Regardless of whether it is gold or not, the Buddha statue is simply too evil. It is better to stay away from such Buddha statues.

However, Qiu Wuhen was very interested in the case. He said to Qian Jinzhi: "Wake Xia Houtian up and let them check his confession to see if what he said is correct."

Qian Jinzhi heard clearly from the sidelines. When Qiu Wuhen asked him to come, he immediately agreed. Qiu Wuhen took this time to walk up to the deaf-mute monk and looked him up and down. The deaf-mute monk was not tall.

, he was dirty all over, the cassock he wore was in tatters, and his face was greasy. He had provocative ears, and except for his white teeth, he looked very slovenly.

Qiu Wuhen bowed his hands and said, "May I ask what your name is, Master?"

"hey-hey!"

The deaf-mute monk just smiled at him and didn't answer Qiu Wuhen's questions.

At this time, Qian Jinzhi came over, took a look, and asked, "Why is this monk smiling so happily?"

"His wife ran away with someone."

"???"

"How did those two confrontations go?"

"I don't see anything wrong with what they said. What should we do now?"

As I just said this, the slovenly deaf-mute monk suddenly disappeared, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. The two of them were shocked and looked around, only to find that he actually appeared on the huge Tathagata Buddha statue in the Main Hall, and

His body was floating in the air, his hands grabbed the dusty curtain and pulled it down.

Originally, the upper body of the Buddha statue was blocked by the curtain, making it difficult to see its original appearance. After he tore off the curtain, the entire Buddha statue was exposed to their sight.

Upon seeing this Buddha statue, Xia Houtian and Xie Zhigao suddenly screamed: "Buddha and demon! How did this Tathagata become a Buddha and demon?"

Qiu Wuhen hurriedly came to them, looked up, and was shocked. He had been to temples many times, and of course he knew the appearance of Tathagata Buddha. Before, most of the Buddha statue was covered by the curtain.

The body, the lower part of the body does indeed look like the Tathagata Buddha sitting cross-legged and on a lotus, but the upper part of the body cannot be seen, so I take it for granted that the one enshrined in the Main Hall is the Tathagata Buddha.

But I didn't expect that the upper body of this Tathagata Buddha has turned into a strange statue. This statue has a green face and fangs. It holds a triangular awl in its left hand and a copper hammer in its right hand. It is a bit like the shape of Thunder God, but it is more powerful.

Horrible and weird.

The strange statue's appearance will make people remember it deeply at first glance, and timid people will not even dare to take a second look. But except for the upper body that has been changed to look like a thunder god, other parts, including the hands, still look like Buddha. The whole thing still looks like a god of thunder.

The weird and terrifying images of Buddha and demons still made their hair stand on end.

The sloppy monk fell from the air, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed Xie Zhigao's head, and with a click, he violently broke his head.

Qiu Wuhen and Qian Jinzhi were both frightened. How could the deaf-mute monk kill someone without any warning? This was terrible.

Xie Zhigao almost didn't react. After his whole head was twisted off, his face was facing the back of his neck. Even his expression was still as surprised as before. This frightened the two of them and stayed on the spot. Xia Houtian screamed and hugged him in fright.

My head was shaking.

The sloppy monk tilted his head toward Qiu Wuhen, motioning to follow him, and then quickly carried Xie Zhigao's body with one hand and walked straight down the mountain. His steps were brisk, as if he was carrying a light broom.

Like carrying a grown man.

Qiu Wuhen immediately said to Qian Jinzhi: "Follow this monk!"

The two of them rushed out of the temple. When they arrived outside the temple, Qiu Wuhen shouted to the four bearers carrying the sedan chair: "Go in and carry your master back!"

None of the bearers knew why Qiu Wuhen and Jin Zhitang's shopkeeper Qian suddenly appeared here, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. In fact, seeing the two people in such a hurry, they didn't have time to ask, so they quickly agreed.

Qiu Wuhen and Qian Jinzhi followed the deaf-mute monk all the way. The deaf-mute monk walked very fast. Qiu Wuhen soon became exhausted and panted and could not follow.

Qian Jinzhi simply hugged his waist, tucked it under his arm, and immediately increased his speed, barely keeping up with the deaf-mute monk.

Qiu Wuhen was pinched under his arm and couldn't move at all. Although the nephrite was warm and fragrant, this posture was really inelegant. If someone saw that his seven-foot tall man was actually pinched under his arm by a female prostitute and carried him away, wouldn't he laugh?

Big teeth?
