"I don't think so," Zhou Shizhi shook his head and said, "Manjusri Bodhisattva holds a wisdom sword in one hand, and a Prajna scripture book on a lotus flower in the other. He rides a lion and combs his hair in five buns. No matter how unclear this statue is, there is no lion there. ! As for Puxian—"

"I know, riding an elephant! No matter how you look at it, there is no elephant, right?" Lu Xiaoshu interrupted Zhou Shizhi, thought for a while and said, "Then who else is there? Buddha? Arhat? King Kong? City God ? Landlord? Guan Erye?"

Zhou Shizhi chuckled, and said with a smile: "Xiaoshu, are you going to count all the Bodhisattvas, gods and Buddhas one by one?" After you have finished counting, I naturally don't have to guess anymore.

Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "If you ask me to count, I won't be able to count! Could it be that you can really tell who this is?"

Zhou Shizhi smiled and said, "Is our previous bet still counting?"

"Of course, of course!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded.

Zhou Shizhi nodded and smiled, "Of course I know, this is a statue of the Medicine King Bodhisattva."

"Medicine King Bodhisattva? Where does it look like?" Lu Xiaoshu naturally wouldn't let him be fooled so easily.

Zhou Shizhi pointed to her one by one, and said with a smile: "Look at the broken marks on his head, it is obvious that he wore a hair crown before; look at his left hand, although two fingers are missing, but it can still be seen." It can be seen that the fist is placed on the waist; there is also the right hand, the bent arm is placed on the chest, and the medicine tree is held in the hand. Here, you see, there is a half-branch shape here! This is the most typical medicinal tree. Wang Zuoxiang! How could I lie to you."

Lu Xiaoshu looked at what he said, and they were really good, but she was not convinced in her heart, and said: "You must have seen the statue first, and then you can't imagine these many things! Anyway, half of the statue is left and half is just right. There is room for your imagination! After all, you are still fooling me!"

Zhou Shizhi smiled lightly, as if he had expected her to say that, and said with a confident smile: "I still have one piece of evidence that can be called a killer's trump card, and I won't have much to say if I tell it to keep you, don't you believe it?"

How can Lu Xiaoshu believe it? Shaking his head, he said, "I'm not easily fooled by you!"

Zhou Shizhi coughed, pointed out solemnly, and said, "There are three big characters 'Yaowang Temple' written on the plaque on the beam of the main hall door! Does this count as ironclad evidence?"

"..." Lu Xiaoshu was stunned, and shouted: "Zhou Shizhi, you are bullying!" As he spoke, he waved his palm and hit him.

Zhou Shizhi laughed and turned sideways to avoid it, and said with a smile, "You didn't pay attention, so how can you blame me?"

He dodged quickly, and Lu Xiaoshu's palm hit the altar table. The Yaowang Temple may have been in disrepair for a long time. The table vibrated, and the statue of the Yaowang shook, and the head on the altar shook even more. Shake as if about to fall.

"Be careful!" Seeing this, Zhou Shizhi quickly pulled Lu Xiaoshu away, and the two of them rushed to avoid it.

There was only a "gudong" sound, and the head of the Yaowang portrait actually broke off and rolled down to the back of the case.

"It's so dangerous!" Lu Xiaoshu patted his chest lightly, still in shock.

Zhou Shizhi pulled her to the side, his eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at the back of the table and said coldly: "Who? Come out?"

Lu Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but also look behind him. But Hong E, Guan Li and the others all had serious expressions on their faces, and became alert.

There was a rustling sound, and sure enough, two people crawled out from behind the desk. Both of them were ashen-faced, with plaster all over their heads and faces. At first glance, they seemed to emerge from a pile of mud.

Needless to say, it must be due to the smashing of the clay head just now.

One of these two men was in his fifties, with a long gray beard, tall and thin, his bronzed face was half wrinkled, and he was wearing a gray-brown dark-striped straight-leg robe. The other was in his thirties, with a broad face, a square forehead, and a pair of eyes that were as small as mung beans. He seemed to have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and was polite and respectful to others, but his eyes seemed too flexible, and they would slip away when people were not paying attention. wandering around.

The embarrassment of the two of them made Lu Xiaoshu want to laugh, but the scene was not right, so he tensed his face.

The broad face and small eyes helped the old man out, nodded and bowed to Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The villain deserves to be damned, I'm sorry for offending the two nobles!"

Zhou Shizhi's expression was still cold, he was not moved by his words at all, as if he didn't even hear his words, he said coldly: "What are you doing hiding behind?"

Kuan Lian hurriedly said: "The villain and uncle are resting here, heard the sound of footsteps, and saw that it was the nobles, the villain was afraid that he would offend the nobles, so, hehe, he avoided it. Never thought-haha, hehe… "

"Gentlemen, don't be angry, the villain will leave right away! Let's go right away!" The wide face seemed to be very afraid that Zhou Shizhi and others would get angry, and regardless of the heavy rain outside, he nodded and bowed and pulled his uncle outside.

His uncle seemed reluctant to leave, instead he looked at Zhou Shizhi frequently, his eyes flickering.

"Stop," Zhou Shizhi said lightly, "It's raining so heavily outside, wait before leaving!"

"No, no," Kuanlian said with a smile, "Little people are thick-skinned and thick-skinned, they can't compare to noble people, this little rain is nothing! Little people don't dare—"

"You are so talkative!" Lu Xiaoshu glared at him unceremoniously, "If you are told to stay, then stay, why are you talking so much nonsense? Are we such unreasonable people?"

"No, no, the villain didn't mean that—"

"Then stop talking!" Lu Xiaoshu sized him up with a half-smile, then sized up the old man, and said with a smile, "It's true that you have rough skin and thick flesh, but your uncle has a fair skin and looks gentle, and you still He is so thin, how can he withstand such a heavy wind and rain? You are too cruel as a nephew, right? If something happens to him, there will be a Bodhisattva watching here! Bodhisattva blames it, even if it is us! "

The wide-faced face suddenly froze, Xin Dao grandma, the Bodhisattva's head fell off, and he saw a fart!

Annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to argue with Lu Xiaoshu. His uncle was even more afraid, so he looked at him inquiringly, obviously asking for his opinion.

"Then, thank you nobles!" Kuan Lian had no choice but to put on a grateful and joyful look, nodding to Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi to accompany the smile.

Although the wide-faced face stayed behind and couldn't leave, it always kept a distance from Lu Xiaoshu and the others, and pulled his uncle to sit in a corner far away, looking over here from time to time.

Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi looked at each other and exchanged glances, then ignored them, just sat down and talked in a low voice.

Suddenly the wide-faced screamed in pain, and saw his gentle uncle running away from him, running towards Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi, shouting as he ran, "Help! Help!" ! This master, girl, save this old man, that is the villain who hijacked this old man, not a relative!"

With a wide face and trembling hands, one finger on his hand was red and swollen, and on the ground was the centipede he rubbed to death.

He made a prompt decision, without defending, explaining, or caring about the pain in his hand, he rushed towards the door without hesitation, intending to get out.

How could the people brought by Zhou Shizhi let him go so easily? A guard dressed as a domestic servant kicked him to the ground easily and stepped on his waist.

"You guys!" Kuan Lian Pan flung himself on the ground and struggled a few times to no avail, and said angrily, "What does it have to do with you? Let me go!"

"Don't let it go, you can't let it go!" Seeing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and casually cupped his hands to Zhou Shizhi and said, "My surname is Hu, and I am a famous criminal master of the Yamen of the prefect of Jiangning. Xiejiao was hijacked by this person, if the young master and his party hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid the old man would have died at this moment! This person has no law, and he committed such a vicious thing in broad daylight, and asked the young master to help him to the end, and sent him to the nearest yamen , Hand it over to the local officials to deal with according to the law!"

Wide-faced face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he collapsed on the ground without even the strength to struggle.

He just gambled all his money and lost his eyes, and was thinking about how to get the capital to make it back, when he happened to see the old man walking alone.

Seeing that the clothes he was wearing were of good material and his person was elegant and elegant, he expected that he must have a lot of money on him, so he followed him all the way. Seeing him enter this dilapidated temple to rest his feet, he was overjoyed, and he was secretly calling out "God help me too", who knew that Zhou Shizhi, Lu Xiaoshu and his party came to this side before they had just kidnapped him and did the murder. coming.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes and wheels, and seeing the figure, the wide face was startled, it was too late to leave, the only place to hide in this temple was behind the Buddha statue, in a hurry he pulled Master Hu and hid in.

Originally, nothing would happen, who knew that a man and a woman would be so boring, guess what bullshit Bodhisattva! When the two of them approached, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, but they didn't stop, and they accidentally knocked off the head of the Medicine King Bodhisattva!

When such a big object fell down, both he and Mr. Hu were startled, and naturally made a noise, so, so it was a tragedy!

Knowing the identity of Master Hu now, the wide face is even more frightened. To him, the master of the prefect's yamen in Jiangning is a member of Tianzihao. This time, he may be in trouble...

When Zhou Shizhi and Lu Xiaoshu heard that the old man reported that his family was the master of the Jiangning magistrate's yamen, both of them were secretly happy. It is more convenient to have acquaintances to handle affairs in Nanjing.

"It turned out to be a master, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Zhou Shizhi cupped his hands at Master Hu, and said with a smile: "It's really a fate, it happens that we are also going to Jiangning Mansion, if the master doesn't dislike us walking together? As for this person, "Zhou Shizhi wrote lightly: "When the rain stops, I will send someone to the yamen. Hurry up, or he will be useless!"

Master Hu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly cupped his hands to return the salute: "It's such a bother! I have lingering fears, and I will take advantage of you when I walk with you!"

"Where is it! Master Hu is too polite!" Zhou Shizhi said with a smile.
