Chapter 100: Chasing the Girl Holding the Mirror
Black Maitreya, judging by his name, he is not a good person.
After Monk Ming’s explanation, Zhong Sheng learned the origin of this giant Buddha.
It turns out that the Buddha worshiped in secret pagodas is different from the monks worshiped in Ming Dynasty.
To be precise, secret worship of Buddha is aimed at the dark side of the true Buddha.
Black Maitreya is the largest Buddha in the pagoda that has been secretly rumored for hundreds of years.
"The temple is the real Buddha. It is secretly said that the pagoda misinterprets the meaning of Buddhism and creates many evil Buddhas and false Buddhas out of thin air."
Monk Ming was indignant, "I should have known that the messenger of Black Maitreya would have the method of making skinned ghosts in his hands."
The truth was finally revealed. Behind King Garuda, there were followers of Black Maitreya who supported him.
Now the main murderer is dead, but the whereabouts of Princess Jialuo are still unknown.
"If you don't kill Black Maitreya, the skinned ghost's tea poison will be spread forever."
Zhong Sheng nodded after hearing this, "Monk, let me help you."
Monk Min nodded, "I just used the dog form to remember the breath of the snake mirror."
"Using this as a guide, we will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the girl holding the mirror, uh..."
Monk Min was halfway through speaking when he suddenly froze.
The smell of snake mirrors is everywhere.
The girl holding the mirror is very cunning, so she creates a suspicious formation. After the snake mirror leaves, it circles around and spreads the smell everywhere.
This is a targeted interference based on knowing his Inugami method in advance.
"Let me try."
Li Qingfeng held up the compass and grasped the air, and three bright spots fell into the compass.
The light spot is the broken afterimage left by the broken mirror light just now.
The pointer started to rotate rapidly, turning southeast, northwest, and non-stop.
This rotation did not stop for a long time, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Sure enough, there is interference.
Qingfeng Li was so angry that he threw down the compass, "We took a picture with the girl holding the mirror in the mirror. She knew our methods and specifically interfered." In other words, neither of them could trace the girl holding the mirror.
Whereabouts.
Zhong Sheng asked, "Have you not noticed that the room where the girl holding the mirror is located is richly decorated, far from what ordinary people can find?"
I thought that the girl holding the mirror, who loves snakes, should live in a dark and humid cave, but what you see from the mirror is definitely not the case.
Hanging tents with silk curtains, fragrant wood and incense, and all kinds of gorgeous decorations are not enough to be worshiped except in the homes of the rich and noble.
Living in a privileged and wealthy environment, the girl holding the mirror is more like being cared for by a wealthy family... a mistress.
This clue is crucial.
"It makes sense."
If the girl holding the mirror hides in a residential house, she can exclude the endless wilderness areas.
And...
Zhong Sheng touched the ancient sword, felt the tip of the sword trembling, and raised it in a certain direction.
It is as if there is a magnet in a distant place, attracting the tip of the sword to point.
He suddenly remembered...
The tip of the sword just scratched the snake mirror. Although it left no trace, it scratched the face of the girl holding the mirror.
Could it be that the ancient sword was contaminated with the blood of the girl holding the mirror and used this as a clue to track the other party's hiding place?
"Monk and Taoist follow me, I have a clue."
Li Qingfeng and Monk Min had no doubt that he was there and quickly kept up with Zhong Sheng's pace.
Zhong Sheng rode the donkey in front, Monk Min rode the golden retriever, and Li Qingfeng rode the wind charm, following closely behind.
Not long after the horse was racing, a military stronghold appeared at the end of the horizon.
The military village is a temporary residence for both military and civilian purposes. The flow of people is extremely complicated, with no less than a thousand people coming in and out every day.
Looking from the wall, the flying flag belongs to the Tang Army camp.
But the girl holding the mirror belongs to the Zheng army camp, so why is she hiding in the Tang army camp?
"Be careful, it might be a trap."
Qingfeng Li and Monk Min stopped, there is a conspiracy!
The scene in front of them is most likely that the girl holding the mirror deliberately deceived them and caused them to conflict with the Tang army.
However, Zhong Sheng believed in Gu Jian's intuition and flicked the sword's spine, "Let's go!"
The three of them showed their tokens and had an unobstructed journey. They found the general in the military camp and explained their purpose.
"There is an evil spirit lurking in the village. I hope you can send troops to help."
General Lu's token was very useful. The general immediately mobilized his troops and closed the gate of the military camp tightly to prevent anyone from getting away.
Li Qingfeng couldn't wait and called the general's soldiers to question him.
"Has anything new happened among the upper-class people in Junzhai recently?"
"Except for the great victory on the front line and the celebrations by the generals and gentlemen, there are no major events."
The soldier thought for a while and suddenly said, "By the way, Xie Canjun and Vice General Wang fought over a dancing girl at the banquet."
"Xie Shenjun was born as a scholar, how could Vice General Wang who has fought in hundreds of battles for the rest of his life."
"But there is nothing we can do. He is a senior official. Our general scolded Deputy General Wang and asked him to apologize to Xie Canjun."
"In the end, the dancer returned to Xie Canjun."
This was a jealous incident, and it was not a glorious thing. Afterwards, he was suppressed by the lowered general.
"What's the background of the dancer?"
Zhong Sheng asked curiously, how beautiful is it that can make anyone beaten to death?
"It's a group of prostitutes captured after the defeat of Zheng's army. Among the hundreds of people, the dancing girl is the most stunning."
"This woman is weak and boneless, with a graceful figure."
Upon hearing this, Monk Li Qingfeng's eyes turned towards him.
The three of them all stared at the private soldiers who were talking eloquently.
Weak and boneless? Not good!
I always feel that Xie Canjun’s suicide index is virtually +1.
"Also, I heard that the dancing girl is so talented that she feels like ice when held in her arms. The weather has been getting hotter recently, but she is extremely cool."
Feeling cold? It’s even worse, +1 again.
"Xie Canjun got the dancing girl, which aroused so much jealousy that he stayed behind closed doors for more than ten days after returning home."
Well, Xie Canjun’s death-seeking index is already at full capacity.
No need to ask anymore, all the clues point to the final goal.
They are weak and boneless, which is due to the nature of snakes; the body is cold in hot summer, and snakes are cold-blooded creatures.
In addition, Xie Canjun has not shown up for more than ten days, and I am afraid that he has been eaten dry and wiped out, or even had his bones knocked out and his marrow sucked out.
Monk Ming's nose twitched twice, he raised his palms and said, "Good, good."
He smelled a strong demonic atmosphere in the air, and the obvious smell of snakes was stronger than other places.
Obviously, even if the girl holding the mirror is not hiding here, she is not far away.
Now we need to determine whether the dancer Xie Canjun brought home is actually the girl holding the mirror.
"Three of you, elite soldiers have been mobilized."
The generals in the village have dispatched their troops and gathered in the open space outside.
"Let's go!"
"Where to go?"
"Thank you for joining the army."
The general suddenly realized, "Let me tell you, even if Xie Canjun indulges in excess, he will not go out for more than ten days."
The recent activities in Xie Canjun’s mansion are indeed a bit unusual.
I don’t pay attention to it on weekdays, but now that I think about it, I’m full of doubts.
For example, Xie Canjun, who has never had a big appetite, has been delivering live pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks to the kitchen every day since ten days ago. There are several carts full of them. This happens every day, and there is never a shortage.
In addition, in the increasingly hot climate, mosquitoes and flies are a nuisance in the military village. Only near Xie Canjun's house, mosquitoes have disappeared. Even insects and birds do not dare to pass by. The ants in front of the door and behind the house have all died.
Nest after nest.
