I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 31 The omen of the bloody catastrophe
How could such a dragon be hidden in such a small pond in the small Guobei County?
It was the one who killed Mr. Guo!

He immediately thought of the expert who killed Guo Huaian.

"A third-rank master, it is indeed a piece of cake to kill the young master, but why does he want to kill the young master Guo, acting as a hero?" He thought of a possibility.

If Mr. Guo was doing that kind of thing at that time, and happened to be bumped by that person!
He thought of the hollow golden sachet, and the indifference and anger in Miss Shen's eyes when she left just now.

Lin Yuan raised his head and looked in the direction of Guo Beicheng.

"There was also the person who appeared suddenly that night to help them out. One of the four people who were killed burned his heart with a very domineering palm force, while the other three sealed their throats with a sword. Guobei County!"

"A master of the third rank, even in the state capital, even in the imperial city, they are all guests. How could they be in such a small city? Could it be that there is some big secret here?"

After being horrified, Lin Yuan thought about it a lot.

He didn't return to Guobei County until the sun set and the sky darkened.

Standing on the tower, looking at a small city in front of you.

Smoke rises from the kitchen, and people who have finished their busy day are preparing dinner.

It was such a city, but now it became mysterious in Lin Yuan's eyes because of one person.

in a house somewhere,

Wang Zhe was guarding a piece of firewood, his palms were red, and after a while, the firewood actually caught fire.

A casserole was driving on the fire, gurgling, feeling the heat, and a strong aroma came out of it.

The puppy squatted aside, staring straight at the casserole, sticking out its tongue, drooling.

"Mutton casserole, Laifu, is it delicious?"

Wang woof, the earth dog barked twice happily.

"There is another kind of meat that is more fragrant than this mutton. Dog meat. Dog meat is rolled three times and the gods can't stand still. One is yellow, two is black, three is flowered and four is white. The best one is yellow dog. Let's try it some other day?" Wang Zhe looked at with a smile. with a little yellow dog.

The earth dog looked up at Wang Zhe.

Woof, woof!
"Huh? Don't you understand, don't worry, I won't eat you, you are too young?" Wang Zhe was stunned, then smiled and patted the dog's head.

The mutton is still very fragrant, and one person and one dog are very happy to eat it.

The matter of Laohou and Sun Xiulian has been settled, and someone has already found someone to look after the day.

One is middle-aged and used to be a frequent visitor of "Chun Xiao Lou", and the other is a widow not long after marriage, gentle and virtuous, the two are in love with each other.

Lao Hou had a happy face all day long, sweeter than eating honey.

Among the county yamen, several Tsing Yi policemen who came from Kuaiji were very anxious. It has been so many days, and they still haven't found out the real culprit who murdered the young master.

If it continues like this, it is estimated that the government will send people here, and they will definitely be punished by then, or they may lose their jobs directly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it if the higher-ups find out." Lin Yuan said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

"Captain, where should we investigate next?"

"Why don't we find a scapegoat?" one of the headhunters whispered.

This is not the first time they have done such a thing. For some difficult cases, the higher authorities require a deadline to solve the case. If they really have no choice, they will find someone to take the blame.

"Let me think about it." Lin Yuan waved his hand at them.

"What do you want to check? A third-rank master who knows the "Qi Containing Technique" can do it even if he finds it out. It's just a few of them who can beat others. Not to mention them, how many people are there in the entire Kuaiji Mansion?" Can you beat him?"

There is no point in investigating the case. The difficult thing is how to explain it and how to end this dilemma.

On this day, Lao Hou asked for leave, and he wanted to accompany Sun Xiulian on a trip to the Great Wall, and go to "Lanruo Temple" dozens of miles outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings.

"Why do you run so far? Just go to the Temple of the City God and burn incense. Didn't you also say that the Temple of the City God is very effective?"

Hearing that it was "Lanruo Temple", Wang Zhe felt a little guilty.

He took a special look at Hou Zhu, and saw a faint glow of blood on the other person's face, and hurriedly used the "Looking Qi Technique" to observe, only to find that there was a thick glow of blood on his face, which was a sign of "crazy death".

He was afraid that he would encounter danger when he went out of the city this time, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"That's what I said too, but Xiulian believes in Buddhism and is a believer in Lanruo Temple, so I'll take her out to relax." Lao Hou said with a smile.

"Then be careful on the road."

"Hey, let's go." The tens-year-old Lao Hou trotted to find his Xiulian.

Wang Zhe quietly followed him out of the city. These days, it is normal for the police to go out of the city quickly to do some private business.

"The disaster of blood and light, the omen of violent death, what will Lao Hou encounter?"

After Wang Zhe left the city, he walked along the official road for a certain distance, then entered the mountain forest, and walked along the road to Lanruo Temple, while observing the situation on the side road.

Pedestrians passed by from time to time on the road, some on foot, some driving ox carts, some alone, some walking in groups, they looked like ordinary people, nothing unusual.

Not long after, he saw Lao Hou and Sun Xiulian. Lao Hou borrowed a carriage from somewhere extravagantly, and Sun Xiulian was talking and laughing all the way towards Lanruo Temple.

Wang Zhe followed quietly in the forest beside him, and did not encounter any unusual things along the way.

After arriving outside Lanruo Temple, Laohou and Sun Xiulian went up the mountain and entered the temple.

Standing on a hill not far from the temple, Wang Zhe looked at the centuries-old temple with the "Whispering Qi Technique".

I saw this strange aura floating in the sky above this ancient temple, turning into colors, like a piece of auspicious cloud covering it.

"Looking at it this way, there are indeed eminent monks and great virtues in this temple. This kind of weather didn't happen overnight, it has been accumulated over the years."

"Go to the back mountain to have a look."

Wang Zhe bypassed the temple and came to the back mountain of Lanruo Temple, where the trees are very lush.

It is now noon, when the sun is the hottest in the day, but when entering this mountain forest, only a few rays of sunlight can shine in, falling on the ground, the light and shadow are mottled.

From time to time, the sound of insects and birds can be heard in the forest, which is a scene full of vitality.

After walking a certain distance towards the deep mountain, Wang Zhe stopped suddenly.

Through the gaps between the trees, one can vaguely see a big tree in front of it. The trunk is extremely thick, and it may take at least dozens of people holding hands to hug it.

The branches and leaves are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, it is like a forest of trees.

Although I have seen it once, I was still shocked when I saw this big tree again.
