Although Bai Wuxia was quite dissatisfied with Li Muye's forgetfulness of love, he had no reservations about the difficult issues raised by Brother Xiaoye and the special agent, pointing out that it was caused by a special tree species caused by fungi. Fungi are the plants with the fastest growth rate in the world. They are usually invisible among the roots of mountains and forests. As long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, they can sprout overnight and even grow as big as a disk and shaped like a Hericium.
There are many wonders in the world. There are tree people in East Java, Indonesia. Their trunks grow a lot of bark-like tissue. It is this kind of fungus that causes trouble. Based on the characteristics of this fungus, the Celtic ancestors invented an overnight witchcraft. They hid a tree seed in a living pig, and then sealed the fungus into the pig's body. After the pig was infected, the whole body Transformed into a tree shape, the seeds absorb organic matter from the pig's body. As long as the timing is right, they can grow into a big tree overnight like fungi.
People didn't know the inside story and thought it was strange and incredible. They just thought it was the work of gods and demons.
After Bai Wuxia explained the details, Li Muye and others finally knew the inside story. But it turns out that this is what the Buddhist disciple Zeng Xiguo said about achieving enlightenment on the Bodhi tree. Clarifying this matter is equivalent to giving reassurance to the staff of the relevant local departments. At least they are not offending the Buddha. Their sin is unforgivable. Not only will they go to Abi Hell after death, but they will also implicate the evil disciples of the nine tribes.
Li Muye was not here to answer their questions, he was here to investigate Guo Li.
Zeng Xiguo's case is no longer important to Brother Xiaoye. The top priority is to find out the details of Guo Li first.
The important thing about finding people is that the strong dragon cannot overwhelm the local weaklings. One person has limited skills and the special task force has limited manpower. It is still necessary to rely on the relevant local departments who have a good understanding of the local situation.
Although the Special Investigation Office comes under the title of a certain department in the capital and holds the power of life and death. In principle, it can mobilize local police and national security and other fraternal units to cooperate at any time. However, in actual work, if it is just a simple and crude way of assigning orders to subordinates, The effect of exercising power will not be much better than investigating it yourself. People can't resist orders, but they can duplicity and deal with errands.
Fortunately, Ye Hong is worldly and knowledgeable, and has a very good relationship with the relevant local departments, so they will always spare no effort to cooperate. Brother Xiaoye originally thought that Guo Li had a white dog as his servant and a red ape as his friend. His description was different and his behavior was abnormal. Logically speaking, he should have been brought into the attention of the relevant departments. But in fact, no information related to this person was found in the data of the local national security and public security departments.
I have been conducting overt and covert investigations for several days, but there is no news at all.
Li Mu was anxious in his heart, but he never said an unpleasant word.
The search for Guo Li yielded no results, but there was some progress in the investigation of Zeng Xiguo.
I don’t know where it started, but a nursery rhyme became popular among the children in the city and quickly spread to the nine streets and eighteen alleys. Rumor has it that this song was not first sung by humans, but by a group of crows near the Taigong Temple. Every night when the moon is bright, there will be a crow named Taigong who will enlighten the city and sing: The bright moon rises, the Buddha descends, Bodhi shows his magical powers, the real dragon appears at the mouth of the river, God bestows a peaceful country, and everyone cultivates the fruits of correction.
There was a Feng Shui master named Qi Rulong in the city. After hearing this nursery rhyme, he visited the village where Zeng Xiguo lived before. Then he took some villagers to the Qingshan Rock near Taigong Temple. Sure enough, he saw and heard crows. Taigong's oracle is singing under the moonlight.
At that time, the bright moon was in the sky and it was clear and bright. Qi Rulong led two villagers to climb the Qingshan Rock and saw several big characters written by a group of crows on the branches. In the first year of Taiping, the Kingdom of Buddhism was in full swing! The three of them had just climbed the boulder when they saw the eight characters suddenly and inexplicably burst into flames, leaving ashes deeply imprinted on the boulder like stone carvings.
Qi Rulong first led the villagers to bow and kowtow three times, declaring that this was God's will. Bodhi had already shown his magical power to save Zeng Xiguo, the Buddha's son. When the real dragon appeared at the mouth of the river, it would be the time when the Taiping Buddhist Kingdom was established. At that time, Shuntian Those who go against the will of heaven will perish. After talking about these dregs of feudal superstition, this guy went to the local public security organ to report the case and reported exactly what happened there.
These things spread quickly among the people, and soon attracted the attention of relevant local departments, and they immediately reported it to Ye Hong.
Lao Ye came to Li Muye to discuss the matter, saying that there was no progress in the investigation of Guo Li. Instead of getting into trouble, it would be better to put some effort into the Zeng Xiguo incident first. Maybe he could be involved and follow the clues to find Guo Li. relevant clues.
Li Muye also knew that he was a little emotional. In fact, my mother, Chen Miao, has a special status, and she is a woman in her late sixties. Although the other party kidnapped her, it is unlikely that she would do anything excessive. Since they had set a time and place to meet with him, theoretically they would not touch her before then. Ye Hong was right again. Instead of staring at Guo Li, whose whereabouts were elusive and whose origins even Bai Wuxia didn't know, it would be better to start with the Zeng Xiguo incident. Maybe we could dig out something valuable.
Ye Hong added that this group of monsters first concocted the miracle of giving birth to Bodhi overnight, and then used evil magic to spread nursery rhymes about the arrival of the Taiping Buddha Kingdom through the mouths of crows. This was a clear plan to cause trouble in this area. And it was done right under the nose of our Special Investigation Office. If this evil fire cannot be extinguished quickly, it will be really embarrassing for the Special Investigation Office.
He said it more tactfully. The actual situation is that if it is left unchecked, once it leads to some kind of mass incident, it will cause rumors at home and abroad and cause international impact. It may even make people doubt whether the special agency has any value in existence. If you encounter someone with power and intention to intervene, it is not impossible for the superiors to ban the special agency.
Qi Rulong's initiative to report the crime not only cleared the relationship, but also had some provocative meaning.
Li Muye decided to temporarily stop the investigation of Guo Li and instead focus his main efforts on the Taiping Buddha Kingdom and the incident of crow leaving a message. Brother Xiao Ye personally took Bai Qi to Qingshan Rock, and sure enough he saw the eight characters left in the Heavenly Book of the Fire Crow.
After Li Muye watched for a long time, he asked Bai Qi, "Have you heard of this trick?"
Although Bai Qi is young, he comes from a well-known family and is no stranger to these gangster activities. He said: "This is a technique used in Xiaoyaoge opera. The mystery of spontaneous combustion of wooden sticks is not difficult to solve. It is coated with flammable metal powder. , when encountering special reactive substances, they will immediately burn and generate a very high temperature. It is rare to get a crow to do this. As far as I know, Xiaoyao Pavilion should not have inherited such a trick. Crows are the smartest animals. , the one who is best at training them is the Feather Insect Master. If this group of people is really causing trouble, it wouldn’t be difficult to make the crow leave a message."
There are five divisions in the Chongdi division, namely the sun division, the moon division, the feather division, the scale division and the rat division. Among them, the Habu Mushi Masters are the best at training birds. It is said that as long as they have feathers in the world, they can train them. When Li Muye saw the word Taiping, he immediately thought of Li Qizhi.
Li Qizhi is the chief military advisor of the Taipinghui and one of the military advisors at Nanhaimen. The Xintiandi Church he secretly founded has great ambitions. Liang Hongnong, the old demon of the Yuebu Chongdi Master, is the old saint, and he has also established a secret cooperative relationship with Xiaoyao Pavilion. Last time in Hubei City, the Special Operations Office destroyed his important plan there in the first attack, and they formed an undying feud. The Special Office has become a thorn in their side.
Liang Hongnong has been plotting to unify the five divisions of the Chongdi Master Sect, and maybe he has already taken the Yubu Chongdi Master Sect under his command at this time. The demon in Xiaoyao Pavilion performed a one-night Bodhi show to show his magical powers, and now Master Yubu Chong has come again with the Fire Crow Heavenly Book. With such obvious clues, how can Brother Ono not suspect his former teacher
If this Taiping Buddhist Kingdom was created by Li Qizhi, then what was his purpose in doing so
Is it just a retaliatory action against the Special Investigation Office? Combined with the disappearance of my mother Chen Miao, it seems that this speculation is quite reliable.
Li Makoye's thoughts were spinning. These thoughts passed through his mind for only a moment. He quickly brought his attention back to his eyes. He nodded with satisfaction and said: "Good boy, you are knowledgeable." He then asked: "What about this case?" ,What do you think?"
Bai Qi said: "Is it time to pay a visit to Qi Rulong?"
Li Muye said: "Lao Ye has already brought Yuan Quan and Ji Xuefei over. What I mean is that we go to the Taigong Temple to see if we can see the legendary group of crows." With that, he walked away. .
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the two men came to the vicinity of Jiangkou Taigong Temple.
It is located in the narrow section of water where the river mouth enters the big lake. The terrain is dangerous and the water flow is rapid. This Taigong Temple has been built for who knows how many years, and has been flooded many times in history. It looks old and mottled. According to comrades from the relevant local departments, local leaders once planned to develop tourism around the steep and majestic landscape here. They repaired the Taigong Temple twice, but the result was that it was destroyed by the inexplicable rising river tide.
Since ancient times, there have been legends about evil dragons causing trouble under the water throughout the Gyeongju area. In the early 1940s, an even more incredible thing came out. That year, the little devils were doing some surveying and mapping research in this area. They got two large armored ships of several thousand tons and worked on the river for a long time, but suddenly they all sank overnight. According to local elders, in the mid-to-late 1940s, the Republic of China government cooperated with the United States to salvage the Japanese shipwreck here, but the result also ended in failure and the relatively advanced diving equipment at the time was lost. Some of the equipment can still be seen in the homes of local fishermen.
Some contemporary scholars who study occult science through scientific methods believe that this is a mysterious area located at 30 degrees north latitude. There has always been a mysterious force deep underwater, affecting the entire region like the Bermuda Triangle.
Li Muye and Bai Qi arrived in front of the Taigong Temple. This small, dilapidated and inaccessible temple was the real body of the famous Taigong Temple. In order to develop local tourism resources, the local government departments have built a series of magnificent temples in relatively safe areas downstream for foreign tourists to visit. They are also called Taigong Temple in name, but they are completely different from the ones here.
The small temple is not big, with a square layout of one entrance and three exits. There are side halls and several Zen rooms on both sides of the main hall. At first, the father and son thought that there was no one in the temple, so they walked straight in. They saw that the person enshrined in the main hall was none other than Jiang Taigong, who came out to assist King Wen in rebelling against Xiqi at the age of eighty. He was holding a fishing rod in his hand and doing fishing by himself on the river.
Li Muye suddenly heard a faint sound of breathing in the Zen room on the side, and realized that someone was practicing here. He was about to take Bai Qi there to visit, when he heard the sound of footsteps over there, and not long after, he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned around and saw Monk Tutuo stepped out of the Zen room. He had white hair and white eyebrows, and dense longevity lines. He looked very old, but his steps were as light as two taels of cotton. When he saw the two of them, he clasped his hands and said, "I heard magpies making noise on the branches this morning, but it turned out that a distinguished guest came to celebrate. Since we met by fate, it was polite for the old monk to join the clouds."
Bai Qi frowned, glanced at Li Muye, and half reminded and half curious said: "Uncle, this teacher is so light on his feet?"
Even he could tell that this old monk was extraordinary, how could Brother Xiaoye not see it? He nodded immediately, clasped his fists in front of Shen Yun in return, and said according to the old rules of travel in the world: "Li Muye, a foreigner from the outside, brings his nephew Bai Men. As a young man, I traveled around the world and passed by this place. I saw the temples were magnificent and had extraordinary charm, so I put a lot of effort into it. Please feel free to enjoy it. If I have disturbed you in any way, please forgive me, Master."
"It turns out it's Mr. Li and Bai Jialang." Monk Shenyun heard the words and smiled and said: "People from all over the world, no matter who disturbs whom, can't talk about it." Suddenly he stopped smiling, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he stared at Brother Xiaoye : "If the old monk has good eyesight, Mr. Li should be from an official family, right?"
