Weird Talker

Chapter 461 Discovery
On the other hand, Shen Kai, Yan Xiao, and Xia Nan are conducting an investigation near the Little Chongyang Temple.

The three acted separately, each with its own way.

Xia Nan followed the footprints left by Zhong Xueran and followed them step by step. His speed was very slow, because he had to carefully distinguish the footprints belonging to Zhong Xueran on the muddy mountain road.

In Xia Nan's view, instead of finding the murderer who attacked Zhong Xueran, it is better to find Zhong Xueran himself first. Human life is more important than other things at any time.

But Shen Kai obviously didn't think so, he went back to the Little Chongyang Temple halfway up the mountain, found a knowledgeable Taoist at the door, and asked, "Xiao Daoist, can the Little Chongyang Temple stay for a long time?"

The Taoist Zhike sized Shen Shi up, shook his head and said, "Sorry, benefactor, you can stay in the Little Chongyang Temple for two or three days, but you can't stay for a long time, unless you have converted to a master and have a layman's certificate."

"What about under the mountain? Is there a place to live under the mountain?" Shen Kai asked with a smile, "The environment here is good. I want to live here for a while to nourish my body and mind."

Hearing the words, the know-it-all Taoist nodded in agreement, and pointed down the mountain: "There are several dwellings down the mountain, all of which have guests. If the benefactor has any ideas, you can go down the mountain and ask."

"Really..." Shen Kai stroked his chin, turned around, and immediately walked down the mountain.

Seeing his sudden change of attitude, Zhike Daoist was a little dazed.

Doesn't this benefactor want to cultivate his body and mind?Why does it look more like looking for someone...

He did not guess wrong, Shen Kai was looking for someone, and in his reasoning, if he chose this place to attack Zhong Xueran with strange talk, then the other party probably didn't know Zhong Xueran's trajectory.

In other words, the only place the other party knew where Zhong Xueran could appear was this small Chongyang Temple.

If you want to stay in this kind of place for a long time, you can't just put up a tent. That person must have a stable foothold.

Since the Taoist temple does not keep visitors, it is the foot of the mountain.

Shen Ke went down the mountain, and after he left, Yan Xiao also came to the entrance of the Taoist temple.

Yan Xiao's path of action was just the opposite of Shen Ke's. He first went down the mountain, and then returned to the middle of the mountain.

After paying the entrance fee, Yan Xiao entered Xiao Chongyang Temple without saying a word.

He and Shen Li had the same point of view, somewhere on this mountain must be the foothold of the people who attacked Zhong Xueran.

Now that Zhong Xueran has been dragged into the strange talk, it is impossible for them to help her directly. The best way is to find that idiot, and use that person to rescue Zhong Xueran.

The difference from Shen Li was that Yan Xiao felt that that person's foothold was in the Taoist temple!
If a person wants to wait for another person, the best way is to sit by the stump.

There are few people at the bottom of the mountain. If you stay at the foot of the mountain every day and wait for Zhong Xueran to appear, firstly, it will be thankless and you may miss people. Second, it will be too sneaky. , but will cause more trouble.

But the inside of the Taoist temple is different, as long as Zhong Xueran arrives here, that person will definitely know it immediately.

Although Yan Xiao also asked and knew that he couldn't live here for a long time, his thinking was different from Shen Hai's, because Zhong Xueran was from a family of Taoists, so... he knew why Zhong Xueran came back, and he only knew that Zhong Xueran would come to this place , there is an explanation.

That person... is also a Taoist priest.

Yan Xiao entered the Little Chongyang Temple without looking sideways, and went straight to find the current temple owner, that Daoist Li.

"Benefactor, what else is there?" Li Daochang was a little puzzled.

Yan Xiao looked around for a while and asked: "Li Daochang, I have a question to ask."

"Please." Li Daochang nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to invite Yan Xiao to sit down, and asked someone to make him a cup of tea.

"I don't know, besides Li Daochang, how many Taoists are there in this Taoist temple?"

Yan Xiao asked.

Li Daochang looked surprised, as if he didn't know why Yan Xiao asked this matter, but this matter was not a secret, and he said after hearing the words: "Except for the poor Taoist, there are fifteen more."

"Are they all Taoist master's brothers?" Yan Xiao continued to ask.

Li Daochang didn't know what he meant by this. It is reasonable to say that the monks in the temple are all brothers and sisters, but Yan Xiao obviously didn't want to know the answer when he asked this question.

Li Daochang frowned for a moment, looked up at Yan Xiao, and said, "To tell the benefactor, this temple is already dilapidated, but it was officially endorsed and renovated by private donations, so I was appointed to come here."

Yan Xiao frowned and understood what the Taoist meant.

"So, in addition to the official appointment of Fucheng, there are also people appointed by the non-governmental organization that donated money in the temple?"

Li Daochang nodded silently.

Yan Xiao got up immediately and asked, "Please tell me, the Taoist priest, where is that Taoist priest now?"

"The second bedroom in Nanzi in the backyard, you can find him yourself." Li Daochang obviously felt that something was wrong, so he said without any concealment.

But at this time, the Taoist leader who was serving tea suddenly said, "Uncle Yu has gone out this afternoon and hasn't come back yet."

Yan Xiao just stopped when he was about to step out of the door, and turned to look at the little Taoist priest: "Which Taoist priest is surnamed Yu?"

The little Taoist nodded, and looked at Daoist Li again, seeing that Daoist Li didn't respond, he continued: "Uncle Yu is different from us, benefactor Zhao came here by name."

Another benefactor Zhao appeared...

It seems that the benefactor Zhao is the one who funded the renovation of the Little Chongyang Temple.

Yan Xiao looked at Li Daochang and asked, "Daoist, can you tell me the full name of that benefactor Zhao?"

Li Daochang shook his head and sighed, and glanced at the little Taoist. The little Taoist understood, took Yan Xiao's question, and replied: "Benefactor Zhao's surname is Zaocha Zhao, his name is Fengchuan, and he is from Yuecheng." (Chapter 260 III)
As soon as this name appeared, something suddenly occurred to Yan Xiao's mind, there was another person!

Qiao's Village, Qiao Ziru's resurrection incident, when Qiao Ziru and Mei Sijun were trapped in the strange talk, everyone in Fucheng [Tongjie] went to Qiao's Village, and investigated the cause and effect when they arrived.

The cause of that incident was that a boss named Zhao Fengchuan fell in love with a piece of land of Qiao's family.

But that piece of land was the place where Qiao Ziru's grandma was buried. Qiao Ziru's father collected the money, and that Boss Zhao invited a Taoist priest to move the coffin and break the ground.

and many more!

That Taoist was later trapped in the strange talk with Qiao Ziru and Mei Sijun, but he escaped intact!
A boss named Zhao Fengchuan, a Taoist hired by the boss...

Could it be that he was also the Taoist who was waiting in Xiao Chongyang Temple to attack Zhong Xueran? !
"Excuse me, do you have any photos of him?" Yan Xiao asked immediately.

He realized the seriousness of the matter. If it was what he thought, then the strange talk between Qiao Ziru and Mei Sijun might be a well-established game!

However, the little Taoist shook his head: "There never was."

Yan Xiao wasn't discouraged either, he had met the old man before, and when he heard the words, he described verbally: "He is in his sixties, with a thin body, somewhat fairy-like, with a goatee..."

Before he finished speaking, the little Taoist nodded hurriedly and said:
"It's him, Yu Zeming, Daoist Yu!"
