magician in town

Chapter 555: Red Spring Ditch

Zhou Ruisi is a young man with a thin face, older than Du Zhengyi, but since no one wants to compare with Du Zhengyi, he can still be considered young.

Right now his shoulders are tense, his thumb and index finger are always picking at each other, a pair of bright black eyes are moving around under his eyebrows nervously, moving from one battle mage to another in the room, All in all, try to avoid eye contact with the stem.

The sharp-eyed female mage will remind many young boys of their own mother, their own mother + a soldier, if these two identities are combined into one, anyone will fight coldly.

"Say it again, in more detail." Xiang Gan interrupted what he was saying, "Speak up! Are you still a young man? My granddaughter is more energetic than you."

Zhou Ruisi swallowed, tried his best to recall the details of the whole incident, and straightened his tongue, "We were assigned to this county, oh, the administrative county of human beings, to inspect the temple. It stands to reason that no mage here has registered residence , that is to say, there should be no mages. So I originally meant that you don’t need to come over to see it. The briefing mentioned that the Dahetian Temple is related to the murder of mages. Without mages, there would be no such temple. But Qingshan he , he is a very, very serious person, he said that since we have all come here, we should also check this county. Then we came here, and no one told me that this place is so high before we came here, sorry, I mean, I have a bit of altitude sickness. Most mages don't have this problem, but I've always been a bit..." He made a vague gesture, not sure if he wanted people to know that he was vulnerable, or if he didn't want people to think he was very weak. Fragile.

They are now in the main hall of a temple. The lighting in the temple is not very good at this time, and the corners of the temple cannot be illuminated.Du Zhengyi did not listen to his report with the other battle mages. He turned around all the corners by himself, and then turned to the apse.The statue enshrined here is slightly different from the one in Guanjia Village, but he found the clownfish's iconic ouroboros on the base of the statue, so it is certain that there is one here too.

Zhou Ruisi gave up describing himself under Xiang Gan's gaze, and continued, "We have left most of the villages in the county, and these villages are basically deserted. It looks like too much. Even if the village is not abandoned, the young and middle-aged people are basically gone, only the elderly and children. This village is called Hongquangou. Although it looks small, it is definitely a big village in this area. Said I am ashamed to say that as soon as we entered the village, we were surrounded by a group of elderly people. I couldn’t understand a word of their local accent. They drove us away with sticks and forks after a few words. My Mom, I think those old people are 90 years old. The old ones are about to fall into scum, and I feel dizzy. People fought back, and Qingshan threatened those old people to call the police according to human beings. But they said they were the Hongquangou Senior Citizens Association. I don’t know what the hell it is, but they said they were in charge of local security. If you say you want to call the police, report it to them."

"Didn't you say that you couldn't understand a word of their local accent?" Xiang Gan asked.

Zhou Ruisi paused and said, "I don't understand, but Qingshan can understand."

"Okay, then you continue to talk about the later."

"Later Qingshan gave them 3000 yuan, RMB, and then they let us go to worship the temple."

"Ah?" Xiang Gan was stunned for a while, "What is this all about? Are you sure Lu Qingshan can really understand them? An old people's association said they are law enforcement agencies, and finally charged you 3000 yuan for tickets?"

"I... You asked me to talk about the details, anyway, these are the details!" Zhou Ruisi said aggrievedly, with a look of bad luck.

"Don't say that the two of you are mages, even if you are human beings, two young lads, are you just being blackmailed by a group of old ruffians for no reason?"

"I don't know, I really don't know, it was like this at the time." Zhou Ruisi sighed impatiently, his eyes were a little red, "If we knew that something would happen to Qingshan, we shouldn't have come here. At that time, we thought it was best to act in the way of human beings , The latest Qionglin guidance also says the same thing, let us try to use magic as little as possible, and don’t use magic for things that can be solved with RMB. We also follow the rules, and think that 3000 yuan can be used to investigate temples, which is fine.”

Xiang Gan also became irritable, "Do I still have to praise you when you say that? It's okay, don't talk about it, I really don't want to be angry with you. Fortunately, I don't have to go to school to be your teacher in my life. What happened next? Then what happened when you got to the temple?"

"It's nothing. The only thing is that Qingshan is dead." Zhou Ruisi said.

"What?" Xiang Gan wanted to beat him up, "You still have a temper, don't you?"

"No, really not, Master Xiang. I don't know, I really don't know. When I came in with Qingshan, I saw that this temple is really unusual. Although I don't understand human beliefs, I have seen dozens of temples I'm almost vomiting. I can tell if a temple is normal or not. Anyway, no one in China worships such a black-faced god. It's the kind of big black sky mentioned in the briefing. But this temple is an empty temple. , there is no one at all, and there is nothing to investigate. I said that I should take some notes, and I have to report when I go back. Qing Shan said that he would go to the back to see if there is anything behind. Then... Then things happened This happened. After taking notes, I went out to look for Qingshan through the back door. I didn’t see anyone. I thought he must have gone to the front door after reading the back. Then I went to the bottom of the wall... to relieve my hand, and then I heard Someone was yelling in the yard by the front door, I ran over and saw Qing Shan collapsed there..."

"Who can attack so quickly, who can let you go after attacking so quickly?" Xiang Gan said angrily, "Did you not notice anything wrong at the time? Think again!"

"I...Master Xiang, I've been thinking about it for two days." Zhou Ruisi said aggrievedly.

Du Zhengyi shook his head, got up and walked out through the back door of the temple, smoking a cigarette at the door.Like most farmyards, the front yard of the temple is spacious, but the back door is very close to the wall, less than two meters away.The courtyard wall is made of rammed earth, the base of the wall is covered with weeds, and some broken tools are piled up.If Zhou Ruisi walked out the back door, that's all he could see.

He walked forward slowly. The courtyard walls in this village are very high, most of them are over 1.9 meters, but temples are different from private houses, and the courtyard walls will not block the buildings.He remembered that Lu Qingshan was about the same height as him, probably close to 1.8 meters, and Zhou Ruisi was shorter, about [-] meters, so when Lu Qingshan was close to the courtyard wall, he could see outside the wall, but Zhou Ruisi couldn't.

Du Zhengyi finished smoking that cigarette by standing by the wall. Outside the wall was a narrow village road, and opposite was a row of residential houses, also surrounded by a wall, but it was a brick wall plastered with cement.There are many children's graffiti on the wall, the sun, turtles, strange human figures, houses, and... Du Zhengyi's eyes fell on the opposite wall, a line of advanced magic words scribbled in chalk.Exactly like the one Roach gave him...

Lu Qingshan was attracted, he must have climbed over the wall, curiously prepared to see what happened.
