Zhou Ze is a little anxious now, the Cold Clothes Festival has passed unknowingly. Regarding the advice given by Mrs. Bai at the beginning, given the current relationship between Zhou Ze and Yingying, it is impossible for him to consider the possibility of burning Yingying to death.
only,
Inexplicably,
What the person hiding in the cartoon just said,
What does it mean again
Is it really Madam Bai? Or is there something else causing trouble here
A hint of red flashed in the depths of Zhou Ze's eyes. This was purely because of anger.
Originally, because of Tiehanhan, he fell into an endless sleep.
Zhou Ze felt that he had to keep a low profile.
He killed all the ghost officials in the club before because he was too hungry. It was no choice but to do so. Moreover, Hell was in turmoil at that time. Neither the underworld nor Lu Pan, who was in charge of this trial, could take care of this place. So he killed them and ate them. He also had the ghost official certificate to cover it up, so there would not be any waves.
This time, I really plan to take Yingying to Disneyland for a trip.
Just keep a low profile and
First, I promoted myself to the position of head constable.
Then try to find a way to wake up Tiehanhan.
However,
Being low-key does not mean being a coward.
It had only been one night since Boss Zhou personally experienced the scene of beating up the Yamas in hell. His emotions were already a little unstable. Moreover, now a guy showed up strangely and dared to provoke him!
"I'll call and ask."
The Taoist priest took out his cell phone and said after a while:
"No one answered, boss."
Zhou Ze immediately took off his coat and covered his face. His two fangs grew out and he let out a suppressed growl.
Ordinary people can't hear clearly.
But Zhou Ze believed that
The little boy who was with Yingying would definitely be able to sense it.
soon,
Two identical signals were heard from the west.
One is for a little boy,
The other one is Yingying's.
call…
Yingying is fine.
"Over there, is that Speedy Light Cycle?"
Zhou Ze ran towards that direction, and the old Taoist followed closely behind him. Soon, at the exit, Zhou Ze saw Yingying and the little boy running out in a hurry.
The little Loli was standing not far away with juice in her hand. She didn't seem interested in playing that and had never gone in before.
I guess the reason no one answered my call before was because they were working on this project.
"Boss, what happened?"
Yingying walked to Zhou Ze anxiously.
Zhou Ze directly reached out his hand.
Hold Yingying in your arms,
One hand rested on the back of her head.
Pressing her against his chest.
"Hmm~~~"
Yingying was stunned, but instinctively began to feel surprised, because she knew that her boss would not show such intimate behavior in public.
and,
She seemed to sense a sense of impatience.
The little girl drinking orange juice next to her curled her lips with a look of disdain.
Then she glared at the little boy standing next to her who was about to follow her example.
"Get out of here!"
"We've had enough fun, let's go back to Tongcheng."
Among this group of people, whatever Zhou Ze said was the truth. At that moment, everyone waited for Xu Qinglang at the exit, and then drove out of the parking lot directly without any delay and drove back towards Tongcheng.
Once a person encounters an uncontrollable threat, his subconscious reaction is to run back to his home.
Familiar home, familiar environment, familiar atmosphere,
Even if it doesn't provide any substantial help, it can still make people feel at ease.
Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying were in one car, and the others were in another.
When the car reached the highway,
Bai Yingying asked nervously:
"Boss, what happened?"
"Yingying, was your wife really just a rich lady from the Qing Dynasty?"
The last time I heard Mrs. White's voice,
It was already a year and a half ago.
Although the voice of "Snow White" before did sound very similar to Mrs. White's, Zhou Ze couldn't really be sure it was her.
And if it was Mrs. Bai,
Hell has just suffered such a horrific blow and turmoil, nine of the ten Yama Kings in the underworld are in big problems, and yet she still has the leisure to come to the world of the living and pretend to be a "prophet" in front of her
Generally, only European and American popcorn movies like to play this kind of tune,
Is she really that free
"Uh, yes."
Zhou Ze held the steering wheel with one hand and kept grabbing his forehead with the other. All along, most of his knowledge about Mrs. Bai came from Yingying's narration.
Yingying had been lying in a coffin for the previous two hundred years, and what she knew was actually gained from chatting with Madam Bai.
"When you return to the bookstore later, don't go out...
Forget it, just follow me and call Lao An now and ask him to wait for me at the bottom of the highway."
"good."
Yingying immediately took out her cell phone and called Lao An.
After telling the boss what he wanted,
Yingying looked at the boss with her phone and said:
"Boss, Lawyer An said you blocked his phone number and didn't reply to his WeChat messages. He wants to talk to you now."
"Hang up the phone!"
"Um."
Yingying hung up the phone.
I looked at the boss cautiously again.
She didn't know what happened to her boss.
But I seem to have rarely seen the boss so flustered in my memory.
The car was driving very fast. After more than an hour, it passed the Sutong Bridge and got off the highway, entering Tongcheng.
Sure enough, Lawyer An's car was waiting there.
Zhou Ze stopped the car.
Lawyer An immediately opened the car door and got out.
He shouted as if he had seen a ghost:
"Fuck, boss, the whole hell was in chaos a while ago.
It has something to do with you, boss!"
Lawyer An has his own channel of communication with Hell.
The news that came a few days ago,
It was enough to make him open his mouth in surprise and not close it for a long time.
Instinctively,
He thought of his boss.
Because it is not such a coincidence that the boss just went to hell and then such a big mess happened in hell. Lawyer An doesn't believe that it has nothing to do with the boss.
Although the boss doesn't have this ability, the person in the boss's body was the master of the Nether Sea back then. If he wants to cause trouble, he can really do it.
The most annoying thing is,
Since the boss came back,
I called and sent WeChat messages but the other party didn't reply.
Lawyer An was so impatient that he almost drove all the way to Shanghai to ask him in person, since the distance was not far anyway.
"We'll talk about this later. For now..."
"No, nothing is bigger than that. Tell me what happened!"
Lawyer An excitedly grabbed Zhou Ze's shoulders and shouted,
"You know I was almost dying of curiosity in the store!"
"Ying Gou did it. He blew up seven or eight Yama's Dharma bodies. King Pingdeng didn't die before, but he really died this time. Now Ying Gou can't wake up. Okay, that's the end of the story."
“… …” Lawyer An.
Lawyer An looked at Zhou Ze with an extremely constipated look.
Could you be more brief
Is there anyone who tells stories like you
What about the process? What about the details? What about the sense of satisfaction
"Now come with me to Tongcheng Museum, the small one. I have some things to investigate."
"No, Boss..."
Lawyer An looked unsatisfied.
“Very important!”
"Okay, fine."
"Well, I'll tell you about hell later. Right now, nothing is more important than this."
Lawyer An nodded and agreed.
Without waiting for Xu Qinglang and others who were driving a little slowly behind, Zhou Ze had already asked Bai Yingying to send a WeChat message to tell them to go back to the bookstore first. Then, Zhou Ze took Yingying and Lawyer An and drove directly to the Tongcheng Small Museum.
There are several museums in Tongcheng, but the one Zhou Ze went to this time was a smaller one, so small that there was not even a parking lot inside, so he could only park his car on the road outside.
In fact, Tongcheng is not a city famous for tourism. It is in a very embarrassing position. Although its GDP has achieved remarkable results since the reform and opening up, and is even higher than that of provincial capitals in other regions, in terms of cultural heritage and tourism resources, it is not on the same level as its brother cities such as Yangzhou and Huai'an in the same province.
This small museum has a sign outside and no security guards. Once you walk in, it feels more like you're walking into a middle school library.
There weren't many people inside. As I walked in, I saw an old lady sweeping the floor sitting there, holding her phone and seemingly watching Tik Tok.
After walking further in,
I saw a gray-haired old man sitting at a desk, apparently sorting out some documents. When he saw someone come in, he just looked up and said nothing.
No documents are required.
No security check is required.
Just come in if you want.
"Old An, I remember telling you that didn't the people of Tongcheng build a temple for Madam Bai?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Follow this clue and find the records from that year."
After that,
Zhou Ze looked at Bai Yingying again.
"Yingying, you can look for it too."
"Boss, isn't the Cold Clothes Festival over?"
"try to find!"
"Be quiet."
The old man at the desk rolled his eyes at Zhou Ze and the others helplessly.
Then continue to lower your head and do your own thing.
"Local chronicles, local records, start looking."
If we can't find any records about that temple, there's nothing we can do, but if there are any records to be found, then it can only be in this place.
There are several other well-known museums in Tongcheng, most of the exhibits are embroidery, modern national industry and so on, but this is the only place that stores real historical materials.
This search,
It's a long time.
Because there are too many documents and information piled up here, not many people actually come here, and there are not many serious employees here.
When it was almost evening outside,
The old man came over and asked:
"Hey, the door is about to close."
It means closing the shop and going home from get off work.
Zhou Ze ignored him and continued looking for his own things. Lawyer An and Bai Yingying naturally ignored him and continued to look through the things on hand.
The old man was a little helpless.
There's no security here.
He was so weak that he couldn't chase anyone away, so he could only walk over and ask:
"What are you looking for?"
"The temple was built a long time ago. It seems to have been demolished before liberation."
"Hey, where can I find this? If I were looking for a celebrity or something, maybe it would be possible."
"I remember Mr. Zhang Jian seemed to have written a calligraphy there."
"Mr. Zhang Jian?" The old man hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the goddess enshrined in that temple a lady named Bai?"
"You know?"
Zhou Ze put down what he was holding and looked at the old man.
If I had known this old man was so skilled,
What did I spend so much effort looking for before
"There is a record of this in Mr. Zhang Jian's diary."
Saying,
The old man walked to the side of the bookshelf, reached out, and took down a book with photos in it, which was a way to facilitate document processing.
"Have you found it? It seems that the temple was demolished after liberation." Zhou Ze asked.
"Well, I found it. It wasn't rejected after liberation. It disappeared long before liberation. It's written in the diary here, but it wasn't called a diary at that time. Many of them were recorded in family letters and correspondence."
"It was pushed down before liberation? Do you know who pushed it down?"
"Mr. Zhang Jian himself."
"What?" Zhou Ze felt it was a bit absurd. He was the one who wrote the inscription for Madam Bai. "Impossible?"
"This is a letter Mr. Zhang Jian wrote to his nephew, talking about this incident. In the letter, Mr. Zhang Jian said that he was deceived and wrote an inscription for a Yin Temple, which almost made a big mistake. Later in the letter, he also said that he felt so guilty that he had asked someone to demolish the temple."
"What exactly happened? What did Mr. Zhang Jian discover?"
The old man shrugged.
"You asked me what we're having for dinner tonight, I can answer that. But you asked me what Mr. Zhang Jian discovered, and since he didn't write it in his letter, where can I ask?"
Zhou Ze took the "diary" over.
Start reading it yourself.
Zhang Jian is considered to be the most famous person in Tongcheng's modern history. He was the top scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. He was the one who drafted the abdication edict of the Qing emperor. Later, he established modern national industries in Tongcheng. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, he was a very famous person even in the whole country.
Such a person who can have a strong mark in history,
He originally,
What did you find
So he was so angry that he immediately demolished the temple on which he had written the inscription himself
