Chapter 91 [090] The Ancient Temple of the Former Dynasty

Qin Yue said cheerfully: "It's clear and clear, so tell me what happened to the loss of the craftsman."

"My lord, you need to spend money to inquire about it. My surname is not Bai." The shopkeeper rubbed his index finger and middle finger with his thumb.

This posture is very obvious, which means that people give people money.

"It's easy to say, as long as I get the information I want, money is not a problem." Qin Yuesheng nodded.

After getting this reply, the shopkeeper can talk about it carefully.

"The porcelain in our Jingci Town is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Deshun of the previous dynasty went to Jiangnan to visit this place in the spring breeze in April. He also specially allocated funds for Jingci Town to build it on the east slope outside the town. A Zen temple has left countless stories.”

Qin Yuesheng wondered: "Does this have something to do with the disappearance of the craftsman?"

"Of course there is." The shopkeeper immediately said: "This ancient temple of the former dynasty has not been affected by the change of the country, but because of disrepair for a long time, many things have become dilapidated. Those few missing porcelain craftsmen were invited to go there. It disappeared after repairing a white porcelain screen wall in an ancient temple."

"Is there anything unusual about this ancient temple? For example, strange things."

"That's not true. It's been quiet for a long time. Now there is only an old monk living there, chanting sutras and Buddha every day, and occasionally coming to the town for alms."

"How popular are those missing porcelain craftsmen in the town?"

"Hey, they are all old masters, and they are not far behind."

"Have you anything else to add? About the matter."

"My lord, that's all I know."

Qin Yuesheng suddenly showed a trace of disgust on his face: "You are the only one who asks, the things you just said are all common goods that can be found in the town records. I can ask any townsman to find out. Is there anything else? Otherwise, based on this news, you won't be able to earn taels of silver from me."

Qin Yuesheng patted the Suppressing Evil Knife on the table, but he was hinting at something.

"Yes." Betting on the name of Jingci Town Baoqian, the shopkeeper slapped his chest fiercely: "More than ten years ago, weird things happened in that ancient temple, but it didn't spread because no one happened at that time. After so many years, there must not be many people who still remember it, but I am one of them."

Qin Yuesheng asked, "What's so weird?"

"Someone once drove through Dongpo Forest at night and saw the radiance and splendor in the ancient temple. It was suspected that there were a large number of women singing and dancing in the temple. It's morning, dawn is breaking."

"Oh?" Qin Yuesheng said: "Is there anything else? Something related to that ancient temple."

"No, that's all, but I can tell you about those missing porcelain craftsmen."

"No need." Qin Yuesheng directly threw out two taels of broken silver, and saw two pieces of broken silver whizzing and swishing on the table.

"Ask your cook to make the noodles quickly, I have something to do after eating."

"Okay." Bao Sanxiao picked up two pieces of silver and smiled from ear to ear.

But what he didn't expect was that the moment his palm touched the broken silver, a shock force was transmitted from the broken silver, shaking his palm seven or eight inches away.

Bao Sanxiao looked at Qin Yuesheng in disbelief: "My lord, this is it?"

Qin Yuesheng picked up the Suppressing Evil Knife and slapped the two pieces of silver, forcibly stopping it.

The ancients once said that "lifting a weight is as light as lifting it is as heavy as it is", and a person who suddenly increased his strength by a thousand catties would definitely be very abrupt in daily life.

For example, take a bowl and crush the bowl, use chopsticks to break the chopsticks, shake the bed sheet to tear the cloth, etc.

Only after he controls his own power can he return to a normal life.

This is called 'playing with ease'.

It is obvious that Qin Yuesheng has not yet mastered the shock force to the point where he can freely retract and release it, so this situation will appear when he exerts his force.

……

After eating the hot Yangchun noodles and borrowing an oil-paper umbrella from Bao Sanxiao, Qin Yuesheng left the inn and went to the home of the townsman who reported to the official.

The reporter's name is Chen Chun, a craftsman who weaves straw sandals, and lives on the edge of Jingci Town.

When Qin Yuesheng arrived at the destination, he saw a yard surrounded by fences and a mud-tiled house in the yard.

An old yellow dog was tied at the entrance of the yard, and when it saw Qin Yuesheng approaching, it immediately bared its teeth and roared.

It was old, and it screamed like a leaking bellows, whining.

"Is anyone there?" Qin Yuesheng shouted while holding an umbrella in the rain.

Soon a young man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat ran out of the tile house.

It was Chen Chun.

"you are?"

As soon as this person approached, he immediately shut up the old yellow dog and asked Qin Yuesheng at the same time.

"Official messenger, because you reported the case to the Yamen of Qingyang City, I came here specially to accept the matter." Qin Yuesheng said.

Hearing Qin Yuesheng's words, this person couldn't help showing joy on his face: "That's great! Please come in quickly, sir, and settle down in my house."

Qin Yuesheng said indifferently: "No need, just take me to the place where those porcelain craftsmen disappeared, hurry up."

"it is good."

Chen Chun walked out of the courtyard gate, closed the defenseless fence gate, and then led Qin Yuesheng to the outside of Jingci Town.

To the southeast of Jingci Town, about Baizhangbu, there is a hillside. Because it is relatively close to the east, it is called Dongpo Forest by the locals.

The ancient temple of the previous dynasty was built on the Dongpo forest.

On rainy days, the slopes are slippery and difficult to walk on.

Chen Chun leaned on tree trunks and branches to stabilize his body, and walked ahead to lead the way, while telling Qin Yuesheng the reason for this case.

Both of Chen Chun's parents died since he was a child, and he was adopted by his uncle.

My uncle is a porcelain craftsman. A few days ago, he was ordered by the mayor to repair the porcelain in the ancient temple on Dongpo Forest.

Accompanied by him are four master craftsmen from the town, a total of five people.

It is said that the reason why the mayor wants to restore the porcelain in the ancient temple is because he wants to please the father-in-law Guangzhao who has just been dispatched from Chang'an to Yangzhou.

Nowadays, the eunuch party's status is increasing day by day, and the tide is rising. If it can win the appreciation of a father-in-law, a small town mayor can easily be reborn as the county magistrate of a certain place.

The temptation is great.

The five porcelain craftsmen had been busy in the ancient temple for a few days, and suddenly disappeared the night before yesterday. There was no trace of any struggle at the scene. Their families searched for a long time in the ancient temple and Dongpo Forest, but they found nothing.

The current situation is really that there are no people who are alive but no dead bodies.

Chen Chun had no choice, his uncle's kindness in raising him was as great as a mountain, he couldn't just sit and watch his uncle's whereabouts disappear, so he went to Qingyang City Yamen alone to report to the official.

Gradually, Qin Yue was born in the forest and could already see the towering ancient temple on the hillside of Dongpo Forest.

It is indeed a building allocated by the former emperor. Even after so many years, it still has an astonishing grandeur.

Arriving at the entrance of the ancient temple, Qin Yuesheng put away his umbrella and walked in, because there is a corridor to shelter from the rain, but there is no need to use oil-paper umbrellas.

"Master, this way." Chen Chun took Qin Yuesheng to the main hall with ease.

I saw that there were no Buddha statues in the hall, and a layer of dust had accumulated on the stone platform with incomplete marks and corners.

There were dead cockroaches on the ground, dead moths, and even mummified mice. I don't know how they died.

"Master, this is it. My uncle and the others repaired the white porcelain screen wall." Chen Chun pointed to the wall and said.

It is a screen wall inlaid in the mud wall. It is quite large, not smaller than two carriages. It is not known how many years old it is.

On the screen wall is a horizontal view of the palace, including pavilions, pavilions, winding corridors, ponds and gardens, groups of maids, and female officials sitting and drinking, all of which are made of colored materials.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a precious and rare antique, but the multiple cracks on the edge greatly reduce its original value.

"This screen wall is not bad." Qin Yuesheng praised.

Chen Chun: "Originally there were many treasures in this ancient temple, but they were later stolen by robbers. Now there is only this one that is not easy to take away and is still preserved."

The entire piece of white porcelain screen wall is so big, if it cannot be pried off and taken away as a whole, but smashed into pieces, it will be of little value.

And if you want to take the whole piece away, it is absolutely impossible to do without enough people to help.

"Is this where he disappeared?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

"In the past few days, my second uncle and the others stayed here every day, and the meals were sent to the temple by their respective families. If there were no serious incidents, my second uncle and the others would definitely not be able to repair this piece. Leave this ancient temple without Zhaobi.”

Chen Chun looked serious: "They must have encountered some accident."

Qin Yuesheng reached out his hand to touch the surface of the screen wall, and it was cold and smooth as jade.

"I see."

There are still traces of burning bonfires in the hall, as well as some scattered repair tools. These are the guys that the porcelain craftsmen ate.

At that moment, Qin Yuesheng made three guesses.

①Those porcelain craftsmen were taken away.

②They encountered some danger and fled away.

③If you fail to escape when you encounter danger, you will be eaten up.

In the past, Qin Yuesheng naturally would not have considered the third guess, but now, after seeing a lot of ghosts and monsters, he deeply feels that this possibility is possible.

"I already know the situation. I will stay and investigate this ancient temple. You can't help, so go back first." Qin Yuesheng said.

If there really are some ghosts and ghosts here, ordinary people like Chen Chun are like cannon fodder, and they don't even have the ability to resist before they die.

Seeing that both of his parents had died since he was a child, and now that his uncle who raised him has disappeared, his fate was also ill-fated, so Qin Yuesheng asked him to go back, so as not to be unlucky and lose his life.

Chen Chun naturally wanted to listen to Qin Yuesheng's words. In his opinion, Qin Yuesheng was an official, a person whom even the mayor should treat with respect. As an ordinary citizen, how could he go against his will.

So Chen Chun immediately bid farewell to Qin Yuesheng and returned to Jingci Town.

After Chen Chun left, Qin Yuesheng took out the evil spirit toad from the demon pocket, and then patrolled the entire ancient temple, intending to see if there was any particularly obvious hostility.

But it took half an hour to walk around the entire ancient temple, and the evil toad didn't respond at all. This place is obviously normal, let alone any sneaky and strange existence.

"Isn't it related to sneakiness?" Qin Yuesheng wondered.

If it wasn't for this reason, then it was because of man, but who would come to this Dongpo forest to arrest five porcelain craftsmen?

This is completely meaningless, even if you want to earn ransom, you can't make much, and its value is not as good as robbing a merchant's goods.

"It seems that I have to live in this ancient temple tonight. I wouldn't have opened a guest room in Jingci Town before I knew it." Qin Yuesheng put away the evil toad.

……

Chen Chun is a very enthusiastic person. Although his life is full of fate, it has not affected his love of this world.

For the neighbors in the neighborhood, as long as it is something that he can help, he will do it.

And he himself is also a very hardworking person, able to endure hardships, respects the old and loves the young, likes small animals, is kind, and never envious of others.

But even so, at the age of 19, he is still a bachelor.

After all, there is no way, the poor man has no money at home, and cannot get a wife.

The sky was getting darker.

Chen Chun was worried that Qin Yuesheng would have nothing to eat in the ancient temple, so he specially cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge and steamed three large pieces of potatoes, packed them in wooden boxes and prepared to send them to Dongpolin for Qin Yuesheng's dinner.

However, when he came to the main hall of the ancient temple, he didn't see Qin Yuesheng, and he didn't know where he would go.

"Master?" Chen Chun wondered, but he didn't get a response. He had no choice but to put the wooden box in a clean place, found something to sit on, and began to wait quietly. Qin Yuesheng came back.

Waiting and waiting, he looked boredly at the white porcelain screen wall.

No matter how many times he has seen it, every time he looks at this screen wall, Chen Chun will feel sincere admiration.

If I had such skills, I would probably become very rich and not be as poor as I am now.

Suddenly, a little maid on the screen wall blinked suddenly, and began to trot happily in the palace. The maids who were standing with her all strode to catch up, and all of a sudden they were playing around in the screen wall up.

Chen Chun couldn't help being stunned and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

what is this?
I'm blinded?
