Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 892 What is she hiding!

In front of the tower gate, there is a plaque with the three characters "Beidou Temple" inscribed on it.

Qin Wenyuan felt that the Beidou Society seemed to have a special liking for the word "Beidou".

Beidou Temple, Beidou Tower, Beidou Goddess...

Does Beidou really want to be the only existence in the world?

"Snake, go and take a look."

Qin Wenyuan gave Sishe a wink.

Sishe quickly ran to the door. He glanced at the door and whispered to Qin Wenyuan, "It's not locked."

No lock?
Is there someone guarding inside?

Qin Wenyuan felt that such an important place could not be without protection measures.

He took two steps to the place where the snake sounded, put his ear against the door, and listened to the sound inside.

After a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There is breathing sound inside."

After making a judgement, he said, "Two people."

Tianji raised his eyebrows. Is this true or false?

You can hear breathing through the door, how can you tell how many people there are?
So amazing?
Tianji suspected that Qin Wenyuan was fooling him.

Qin Wenyuan didn't notice Tianji's expression, he continued listening.

He listened quietly for a while and then said, "His breathing is long and regular. He must be asleep."

Tianji raised his eyebrows.

I can hear it even when I’m asleep, is this true?

She felt more and more that Qin Wenyuan was teasing her.

There is a door between us and we cannot see anything from inside. How is it possible to hear so much just by listening?

However, Sishe had no doubt at all about Qin Wenyuan's words.

Others may not know how evil the young master is, but Sishe knows it very well.

He knew that the young master's vision and hearing were far superior to theirs, so he always suspected that the young master might really be the reincarnation of a god.

Qin Wenyuan listened for a while and made sure there was no additional movement. Then he stood up and said, "Sishe, you deal with the one on the left, and I'll deal with the one on the right."

Snake nodded without any hesitation.

As he spoke, Qin Wenyuan gently pushed the door, and the door that was originally closed was immediately pushed open.

The next moment, before Tianji could see the situation inside clearly, he saw Qin Wenyuan rushing in directly.

The Snake follows closely behind.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, one to the left and the other to the right.

Then Tianji heard two muffled thuds, and Qin Wenyuan's voice came out: "Come in, it's okay."

Tianji's eyes widened.

Somewhat unbelievable.

She hurried into the Beidou Tower and saw two people lying on both sides of the door.

Behind them, Qin Wenyuan and Sishe slowly stood up.

Tianji couldn't help but said, "Qin Wenyuan, did you really hear it?"

Qin Wenyuan rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm teasing you? Do I have the leisure time for that?"

Tianji didn't know what to say.

evildoer.

Qin Wenyuan is definitely a monster.

The snake turned around and closed the door.

Only then did Qin Wenyuan look around seriously.

I saw that the tower was very wide and the hall on the first floor was also very spacious.

Right in front of the hall, there is a huge incense burner.

This incense burner is made of a tripod, a four-legged bronze tripod, standing majestically here.

There is a lot of incense ashes in the bronze tripod.

It can be known that these are set off by pilgrims.

Behind the bronze tripod, there is a table with a merit box on it.

In front of the bronze tripod, there are some cushions, which have always been used by believers for kneeling and worshiping.

The entire spacious first floor hall is filled with just these things.

Qin Wenyuan walked around the bronze tripod and came to the table. He reached out and grabbed the merit box. He lifted it and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's a lot of money."

"This is not the money they defrauded today by using the miracles of the stone statue, but the money that believers voluntarily invested."

"It seems that Beidou Temple really makes a lot of money."

"It's not like I'm making a fortune, but it's not far off."

Tianji narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not speak.

Sishe tied up the two people who were knocked unconscious and tied their mouths with cloth strips to prevent them from suddenly waking up and disrupting their plans...

Qin Wenyuan looked around again. After confirming that there was nothing useful in the hall on the first floor, he looked at the stairs on the side and said, "Let's go to the second floor to take a look."

Having said that, he went straight to the second floor.

Go up the stairs.

Sishe glanced at Tianji and said, "Let's go."

Tianji then followed, with Sishe walking at the end.

The stairs are made of wood, but they are very solid and don't creak much when you walk on them.

Soon, they reached the second floor.

When Qin Wenyuan arrived at the second floor and saw the scene there, he exclaimed, "The Sutra Library."

I saw that the second floor was different from the first floor.

The second floor is not empty, but rather crowded, because it is filled with bookshelves, and on the bookshelves, there are many books.

Qin Wenyuan took out a book and opened it casually.

"The Legend of Lady Beidou."

Looking at the title of the book, Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but smile: "This Beidou Society has really put a lot of thought into it!"

"In order to deceive people, they even made up such a legend?"

Qin Wenyuan was really surprised.

He originally thought that Beidou Niangniang was just a tool used by Beidou to make money.

Take it out when you need it.

Don't just throw it away.

But no one would have thought that the Beidou Society would actually write such a thick biography and legend specifically for Queen Beidou.

This is really incredible.

Snake was also surprised.

He hurriedly asked, "Master, what is the legend of the North Star Goddess? How did they make it up?"

"Let me take a look."

Qin Wenyuan turned the page, read it for a while, and said, "This book says that Beidou Niangniang was originally just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, but she was smart since she was young. She was filial to her parents and kind-hearted."

"When she was young, she was very kind. Whenever she saw injured animals, she would bandage them and let them go. She would also secretly bring them some food to help and protect them."

"But the little girl didn't know that these little animals were actually demons who had achieved success in cultivation. Later, in order to repay their gratitude, these demons took the little girl away and taught her the method of cultivation."

"More than a decade later, the little girl had achieved success in her training, and she went down the mountain to gain experience and began to help the poor people."

"He treated people's illnesses, stopped wars and killings, promoted the concept of peace, and did many good things."

"In the end, in order to stop the killing between the two countries and to save the people of the two countries from the harm of war, he sacrificed himself and awakened the good nature of the soldiers of the two countries. From then on, the soldiers of the two countries laid down their weapons and lived in peace."

"The people of both countries commemorated her sacrifice and cast a golden statue for her. They also began to worship her and called her Beidou Niangniang. From then on, Beidou Niangniang's deeds spread widely, Beidou temples began to be built one after another, and more and more believers came."

Qin Wenyuan flipped through some pages and said, "There are many more stories in it, but basically, this is it."

Sishe couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that this Beidou Niangniang would have such a mythological color."

"But let the two countries stop killing. Which two countries?" asked Snake.

Qin Wenyuan shrugged: "It's not mentioned in the book, so who knows?"

"Maybe there is no such thing as two countries. It's all fabricated to make her look more divine."

Qin Wenyuan wanted to continue flipping through the pages, but Tianji suddenly said, "They are just some useless nonsense. What's so good about them?"

"Let's go. There's nothing on the second floor."

As he spoke, Tianji was about to walk towards the third floor.

Sishe put down the book in his hand and followed. Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"There's something wrong with Tianji."

Tianji rarely reveals anything in front of Qin Wenyuan.

And what Tianji said this time seemed a bit abrupt.

It seemed as if he didn't want Qin Wenyuan and the others to stay on the second floor for long.

what happened?

Is there really something wrong with these books on the second floor?
and also……

Qin Wenyuan looked at the book "Legend of Beidou Niangniang" in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“Is it really all made up?”

Although he had just said this to Sishe, Qin Wenyuan still had a sense of déjà vu.

He always felt like he had seen this story somewhere before.

But for a moment, he couldn't remember.

Qin Wenyuan has experienced too many things, but the human brain has limited space to store them.

Therefore, some useless things that he will never use will slowly be piled up in the corner of his memory.

These things, unless he encounters something that can inspire him, will allow him to recall them quickly.

Otherwise... maybe I will never remember it again in my life.

So, is this feeling of déjà vu the memory he has piled up in the corner?
Qin Wenyuan was not sure.

Even though he is so smart, it is impossible for him to remember everything.

Qin Wenyuan glanced at Tianji and Sishe, and seeing that they were about to reach the third floor, he let out a light breath, and without further delay, quickly followed.

However, he secretly put the biography of Beidou Niangniang in his arms and hid it.

He had a feeling that this book definitely contained secrets and was definitely useful.

I just have no clue for now.

But maybe one day in the future, something he experiences may become the key to unlock all secrets.

By then, perhaps this will become a crucial clue.

He did not hesitate any longer and soon caught up with Tianji and Sishe. He followed them to the third floor of Beidou Tower.

When they arrived at the third floor and saw the scene there, the three of them... were suddenly stunned...

"This is?"

Snake spoke first.

I saw that the third floor of the Beidou Tower was brightly lit.

Many candles were lit.

As the candle flame flickered, the light in the room was very bright.

Of course, what surprised Qin Wenyuan and the other two was not the bright candles.

But it is the portraits hanging on the walls behind these candles!

That's right, the candlesticks for these candles are all embedded outside the wall.

And behind the candles are portraits.

At this moment, as the candle flame flickered, these lifelike portraits seemed as if the people in them were coming to life, which was a bit creepy.

What’s more important is that these hundreds of portraits are all of the same person.

Laughing, sad, pursing lips, frowning, shedding tears, feeling compassion, or smiling...

The expression in each painting is different.

The clothes are different in each painting.

But their appearance is exactly the same.

beautiful.

Pretty thrilling.

Moreover, it was exactly the same as the stone statue they had seen on the street before...

No, it's more beautiful than a stone statue.

Because of the carving and the stone itself, it is difficult to show the full beauty of the stone statue.

But these portraits.

But they all seem to be made by everyone.

Those colorful portraits gave them the feeling that the people in the portraits were about to walk out at any time.

More real.

And more beautiful.

Beidou Niangniang, all of them are portraits of Beidou Niangniang.

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Strange.

It's getting weirder and weirder.

If Beidou wanted to deceive these people and create some stone statues, Qin Wenyuan thought that it would be very difficult.

However, when we reached the second floor.

Qin Wenyuan was absolutely surprised when he saw those books.

Normally speaking, Beidou Niangniang is just a fictional character, and Beidou Temple is just a thing used to deceive people. It is enough to have one or two books to show off.

But the entire second floor was filled with books.

Qin Wenyuan just took a quick glance and found many records about Goddess Beidou.

In addition to this one that I secretly hid, there are others.

I even saw the meaning of Beidou Temple.

This is so wrong.

When he reached the third floor and saw these portraits, he felt even more strange.

To carve a stone statue, all you need is an idea in your mind.

But how to paint these hundreds of portraits?
If Qin Wenyuan didn't have a clear reference and just drew randomly, he didn't think he could draw more than a hundred pictures of the same person.

Not to mention, these portraits are all different.

Every frown and smile, every joy and anger.

The expressions are completely different.

Based on imagination alone, Qin Wenyuan didn't think anyone could draw these.

and so……

Qin Wenyuan frowned slightly: "Is there really such a person as Beidou Niangniang?"

"what?"

Sishe looked at Qin Wenyuan in surprise.

Tianji frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and seemed not to have heard what Qin Wenyuan said.

Qin Wenyuan said: "I suspect that this Beidou Lady has at least one or more reference people."

"Perhaps, Beidou Niangniang was created by them based on a certain woman."

"Maybe, it was created based on the most attractive features of many women."
