Chapter 107: Bizarrely Missing Corpse
To be on the safe side, Meng Fan still scrutinized the room.
The room wasn't big, and in a few moments he finished checking it, and didn't find anything unusual, even the eerie aura couldn't be felt anymore, so he couldn't help but laugh bitterly …… and felt that it should be because he had recently encountered too many strange things, and was a bit jumpy.
So he opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight then filled the whole room, shining on Xiao Xi s shapely body, and the fine dust floating in the sunlight …… suddenly felt much better.
Looking at Xiao Xi lying on the bed like a sleeping beauty, Meng Fan had a warm smile on his face …… Tonight the two of them are living in a room, destined to be a sleepless night na.
At this time, the time had passed noon, and everyone hadn t had time to eat …… Meng Fan interrupted Xiao Xi s rest with some reluctance, and took her downstairs, and together with Liu Erxie, he found a restaurant in the neighborhood and ate a casual meal.
Because there are still things to do in the afternoon Tiger Yang Guan, and Liu Erxie can not stay in the city for too long …… so this lunch is more casual …… After the meal, Meng Fan sent Liu Xiaoxi back to the room, and briefly taught her how to use the room in the computer to watch Netflix, then he and Liu Erxie went to Huyang Guan ……
The Tiger Yang Temple is not too far from the city, an hour's drive away, and the journey was smooth.
The temple is on the top of the mountain, the car is unable to go up the mountain, the two had to park the car in the parking lot, hiking up the mountain. Of course, the body is also left in the car …… intends to inform the Huyang Guan, and let them deal with their own.
Since the surface is "good deeds", then the frame is also to have.
Row to the top of the mountain, can be roughly a glimpse of the Tiger Yang view of the style, the entire Taoist temple occupies half of the hilltop, the layout is magnificent, stacked buildings, blue tile Zhu eaves, exudes a simple and ancient style, but also incense breath came, giving a solemn feeling ……
It is a pity that there are a lot of incense customers, bustling as if the downtown, bad a quiet.
Into the door of the Huyang Temple, a glance can see a large hall, above hanging a plaque, on the book of the spirit of the Palace of the three words, the font is strong, the pen walks snake, is obviously calligraphy written by everyone.
To the east and west of the Spirit Palace Hall were the Ten Square Hall and the Gatehouse.
The two do not know much about the situation of the Taoist temple, so they looked for a Taoist priest to maintain the order of incense to ask some questions, the Taoist priest only think that the two are ordinary incense, and then brought the two into the concierge.
When the concierge inquired, he heard the word "corpse" and his face changed slightly, so he informed them upwards, and then they were brought into the Ten Directions Hall.
The Ten Directions Hall's duty was to house traveling Taoist priests, and now it was mostly used to entertain visiting dignitaries.
Meng Fan and Liu Erxie sat in the Ten Directions Hall for a while, then came a middle-aged Taoist priest, full of red face, bundled up in a bun, facing is also kind, sat down and introduced himself, it turned out to be a deacon of the Ten Directions Hall, roughly understand the situation, this deacon asked: "Why are you two sure that this Nian Qifan is a disciple of my Huyang Guan? Can you wear my Huyang Guan's robe? Do you have my Huyang Guan's conversion certificate, that is, a Taoist monk's document?"
"……"
This inquiry could have confused the two, unexpectedly the other party came straight to a dead giveaway.
"None of these have ever been seen." Meng Fan quite a bit of playful touched his nose, "just that the Taoist priest called Nian Qifan, had come to our village wearing a Taoist robe, saying that it was the Tiger Yang Guan, and then some villagers found him inexplicably lying in the mountains, only to know that it was dead …… The two of us just happened to be coming to the city to do business, and the head of the village entrusted us with the body to deliver the ……"
"Ridiculous!" That middle-aged deacon laughed lightly, "The Tiger Yang Guan is a great view of the Azure, there are countless people posing as my Tiger Yang Guan disciples, you have not clarified, do not just pull the dead to our mountains! Tiger Yang Temple can't be held responsible for this!"
"What about the car!" Liu Er Xie is also a little confused, but there is still a hint of happiness in the confusion, "There is also a van, also not your Taoist temple?"
"Of course not, the Taoist priests of our Guan don't drive when they go out to practice." That middle-aged deacon kindly laughed, "The Taoist Guan is busy with business, if you two don't have anything else to do, the poor Taoist won't accompany you."
After saying that, he left straight away.
Meng Fan and Liu Erxie left the Taoist Temple in such a state of confusion, and halfway there, Liu Erxie asked, "Boss, can it be that Nian Qifan is really an impostor?"
"Things to think about is very simple ……" Meng Fan looked back at the Tiger Yang Guan, the Taoist temple over a layer of faint incense smoke, said, "This year Qifan perform the task is not to see the light of day, it is no wonder that the Tiger Yang Guan will not recognize …… it or not, save trouble, anyway, our purpose has been achieved."
The two chatted idly and went down the mountain, but after they went down the mountain, they found a bizarre thing.
Nian Qifan's corpse was gone along with the head of the giant Ghost Fiend!
"Boss …… this ……" Liu Erxian asked in shock, "Can't it be that Nian Qifan saw home and ran back on his own! "
"Heh ……" Meng Fan skimmed his lips and lowered his voice, "It was obviously stolen."
"Who stole it?" Liu Erxie can't figure it out, "They didn't admit it!"
"Now we can't care, maybe they are just embarrassed, the car is not given to us well, go!"
Words, the two will drive to the city to drive ……
At the same time, in the Tiger Yang Guan of a side hall, is carrying on another conversation, the atmosphere is a bit morose ……
"Master Guan, Nian Qifan is dead, the body was found by the villagers of Mengjiazhuang and sent over to us …… Moreover, Shangguan Xingzhi's whereabouts are also unknown, no news …… I'm afraid that he is also dead. "
That middle-aged deacon, respectfully hung his head and stood to the side …… In front of him, sat a white-haired old man, the old man's back was turned to him, and he could not see his face.
"Two wastes." That old man said in an icy tone, "How were things handled?"
"I naturally did not admit it, saying that Dao Guan does not have this person …… I am afraid that these two mountain people sent the corpse over, wanting to get some benefits." The middle-aged deacon replied, and immediately added, "Moreover, I have erased the names of Nian Qifan and Shangguan Xingzhi from the Dao Guan's roster."
"So good." The white haired old man nodded, "The corpses are also retrieved …… to check the cause of death."
"Disciples have already arranged for someone to do that before meeting them, there will be news soon."
Just as the middle aged deacon was speaking, a young Daoist ran in, somewhat alarmed, "Master Guan, deacon, there is no body in the car ……"
"Uh ……" The middle aged deacon was stunned, then said to the young Taoist priest in a deep voice, "There is something strange, you find a few disciples to follow that car, find a convenient place to get down and tie the person back, I want to interrogate in detail. "
That young Taoist priest nodded, and then retired and left.
"Our Tiger Yang Guan …… wind and rain is not peaceful na."
That white haired old man muttered a sentence, then meditated, no longer pay attention to the middle-aged deacon ……
Seeing this, the middle-aged deacon also stopped saying anything and bowed and retreated, his face revealing a shadowy color ……
After Meng Fan and Liu Erxie entered the city, it was at the peak time of traffic at six in the afternoon, the streets were jammed with cars, and it was already dark when they arrived at the hotel ……
"Boss, I won't delay, there are too many cops patrolling at night, I'll go first."
Because he was afraid of being caught, Liu Erxie didn't dare to stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to Meng Fan, he specialized in picking secluded side roads and drove outside the city.
This time out, in addition to worrying about being caught, his heart is still very beautiful …… after all, got a truck for nothing, much better than the family's hand-held tractor.
But let him never expected, when the car just turned into an alley, something happened ……
