Unfortunately,
Zhou Ze flipped through the entire "diary" but couldn't find the second record about the Bai Furen Temple. Basically, in the later letters and diaries, Mr. Zhang Jian talked about education and industry, and rarely mentioned things happening around him.
Especially after the end of World War I, national industries were suppressed again and Mr. Zhang Jian encountered many problems. His later diaries and envelopes revealed more of his concern for the country and the people.
The only clue found ended here.
In history, even things that happened to kings, princes, generals and ministers were often recorded vaguely, and even the Spring and Autumn style of writing was prevalent.
However, if we go to a small temple in a small county town, it would be very difficult to find accurate written records. Since it is not a well-known mythological figure, its influence and limitations are extremely obvious.
It was already past seven in the evening when Zhou Ze came out of the small museum. He sat down on the side of the road and lit a cigarette.
Yingying was a little confused from beginning to end. She didn't know why her boss suddenly wanted to find his wife's records. At this time, she didn't dare to say much and just stood obediently beside Zhou Ze.
Because of this incident,
It must have something to do with me.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Lawyer An couldn't help but ask.
"I was at Disney in the afternoon and came across an empty cartoon set, and came to tell me about burning Yingying on the Cold Clothes Festival."
Zhou Ze replied solemnly.
"That Lady White and Black is back?"
Zhou Ze shook his head. "I'm not sure. I only noticed something was wrong with the cartoon character, but I couldn't really find any trace of her."
"It's impossible that she came back. Didn't she give Yingying to you in the first place, and then went to hell and used the merits she had accumulated to donate a new life
At this time, hell is undergoing a major change, how can she still have the energy to run up and jump around?"
"I thought so too, but the problem is, regardless of whether she came up in person or not, the Cold Clothes Festival doesn't seem to have really passed."
"Oh, then why are you so nervous? It's not a big deal."
Lawyer An didn't care. What he wanted to hear more were the details of the hellish changes. As for Yingying's matter, he really didn't think it was a big deal.
Let's take a step back and say that even if Mrs. Bai really came up again, with so many people in the study, would they still be afraid of her
but,
Looking at Zhou Ze's anxious look now,
Lawyer An could also understand.
His boss's attitude towards other people can only be described as indifferent, but towards this zombie maid, it is completely different.
"Boss, is it because you didn't burn me that something went wrong?"
Yingying asked timidly.
Zhou Ze glared at her and said unhappily, "If you say that it would be alright if I just burn you now, I will be very angry."
Bai Yingying pouted.
She really wanted to say this.
Half a year ago, she customized a bamboo bed for herself for the Cold Clothes Festival.
What a pity,
We have been paying rent to the manufacturers to store the goods in the warehouse.
Couldn't get it out.
It’s not that Yingying is seeking death, but she is thinking that what if the boss suddenly wants to burn her during the Cold Clothes Festival and she is worried about not being able to find bamboo for a while
"Actually, you shouldn't have come back so early. Since that guy has shown his tracks in Disney, it's best to investigate further there."
Lawyer An analyzed.
Zhou Ze shook his head. "That's not a clone, nor a puppet. The other party didn't give me a chance to follow the clues. It doesn't make any difference whether I stay in Shanghai or not."
Lawyer An was thoughtful after hearing this.
"You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. If this matter is not resolved, I always feel that something big might go wrong."
Zhou Ze didn't want to accidentally
Something suddenly happened to Bai Yingying.
This is a burden he cannot bear.
"Old An, is there any way to find out what kind of official position he got after he went to hell?"
"Boss, this is impossible. Not to mention that Hell itself is a mess right now, even in the past, with the complicated factional relationships in the underworld, it would be difficult to find a precise person unless one is highly qualified.
Moreover, hell is not just the underworld. It is possible that Madam Bai has joined other forces. If the underworld is the imperial court, then other factions are the princes, and they also have official positions there."
"well."
Zhou Ze now feels a little regretful.
If I had known I was in hell,
I should have told Tiehanhan not to rush to destroy Yama's Dharmakaya.
Instead, he asked him directly:
"Mrs. Bai of Tongcheng, do you know her?"
Of course.
This is just a thought, and there is no point in being a wise man after the event.
"Well, I'll try to find some nearby mountain spirits and see if I can get some clues from them. Unfortunately, in this world, rituals and music have collapsed, and only one in ten land gods and mountain gods have survived. Most of them have been disbanded. If I can find the local land god and ask him, then..."
"Don't even think about it, Lord Land. It seems like I've swallowed you up."
“… …” Lawyer An.
"Go find some other ones."
"Well, that's the only way. However, Boss, I have arranged for your promotion to captain of the police. It's time for you to get a promotion. At least you can establish your status. But you may have to go to Yunnan."
With a captain of police and five ghost runners under him, the small team is completely stable.
While hell is in chaos right now and there are extremely serious problems within the underworld, the work of building high walls and storing up food must be accelerated.
"Let's solve this matter first."
Zhou Ze's attitude was firm.
"Okay, let's get going without further ado. I'll leave first. I'll call Lao Zhang later and ask him to help investigate. But this isn't a criminal investigation, so he doesn't have much to offer."
After separation,
Lawyer An drove away alone in his car.
Zhou Ze and Yingying got into another car.
"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you."
Yingying sat in the passenger seat.
Biting her red lips,
Seemed very embarrassed.
As a maid, my job is to make my boss comfortable and happy, but now, I have become a trouble to my boss.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal."
Zhou Ze stretched out his hand and placed it on Yingying's shoulder.
“I don’t know whether that girl is Madam Bai or not, but since she didn’t appear in front of me directly, it’s obvious that she is also wary and afraid.
Your boss is in hell. This time, I have seen the big world. This little disturbance is nothing. "
"Well, the boss is the best!"
Zhou Ze smiled.
The relationship between him and Yingying,
It doesn't seem like a pure love between a man and a woman, but after being together for a long time, he really can't leave her.
After two lifetimes, Zhou Ze knew that his temperament was too indifferent. Perhaps it was due to his background and experiences. For example, he and Wang Ke had not been in touch or met for more than ten years after they left the orphanage.
But the more selfish and ungrateful a person is, the more reluctant he or she will be to let go once he or she really meets someone he or she is willing to cherish.
"Boss, where are we going?"
Yingying discovered that the car was not heading back to the bookstore.
"You'll know when you get there."
Indeed, you’ll understand when you get there.
This piece of land,
Still deserted,
Zhou Ze had inquired about it at the beginning, and found out that this piece of land was said to be acquired by a certain developer, who wanted to get away with it by changing the land use attributes. However, he ended up wrangling with his superiors for a while, and the matter was delayed. Anyway, the land was just fenced off and overgrown with grass.
However, this piece of land has been fenced off for some time. I guess even if the developer does nothing, he can still make a lot of money by selling it.
And here,
This was the place where Madam Bai entertained Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang.
I still remember that day,
There were more than ten tables set up here, with young girls coming and going. This was the first time Zhou Ze had seen such a scene. Although the scene in the little boy's cave was much bigger than here later, in terms of shock, the first time left the most profound impression.
Yingying also recognized where this place was, but she said nothing and just followed Zhou Ze inside carefully.
When we got to a pit,
Zhou Ze squatted down.
Smiled,
This pit,
It’s still there.
"Yingying, I dug you out from here."
"Hmm..."
I still remember that it was Xu Qinglang and I who worked together to dig out the coffin, but as soon as Xu Qinglang touched Yingying's body, he felt so cold that he couldn't stand it. But when I reached out to touch it, I felt comfortable all over, so comfortable!
perhaps,
The fate of the two,
It was determined at that time.
Zhou Ze didn’t understand why they came here. Perhaps, this was the place where Madam Bai left her last trace.
but,
At this moment,
Zhou Ze's eyes were suddenly attracted by a piece of white cloth in front of him. He immediately walked over and took the white cloth out from the ashes. Someone had burned paper money here not long ago.
What's going on
Beneath the ashes, there were traces of incense ash left behind, probably from a sacrifice burned just a few days ago.
This is not a grave, it's just a piece of wasteland. Who would come here to burn paper money
Next,
Zhou Ze also discovered that there seemed to be a strange luster left on the stone in front of the ashes, which was particularly obvious under the moonlight.
Placing his hand on the stone, he felt a slight peculiar coolness. This stone had been touched by a ghost and was soaked in ghost energy. Ordinary people could not detect the abnormality, but Zhou Ze could clearly distinguish and determine it.
Some people are burning paper here.
Someone sat in front of the fire.
Enjoy the offering!
The one who sits there and enjoys the offerings,
yes…
Zhou Ze stood up.
Look ahead.
Suddenly I found that on the ground in front of me,
There were actually many traces of ash piles, but they were very shallow and could not be found without careful looking. Because this was a wasteland and no one cleaned it, even if it was windy and rainy, the black color that had soaked into the soil and the charred branches of the trees nearby could not be completely wiped away.
Zhou Ze gritted his teeth.
He suddenly made a surprising discovery.
The White Lady,
In fact, I didn’t go to hell at all!
She has always,
All in Tongcheng!
