Chapter 203 The Weird Ringtone in the Middle of the Night

He has no intention of telling the story behind Zhang Rui now, and it was useless for me to ask, so I didn't pursue it, but Nangong Yuzhang said relentlessly: "I don't understand, what's the matter? Covering it up like this?"

Zhang Rui smiled wryly and said, "I really have a problem, and I will definitely say it after this case is over!"

I know that it is for my own good that Nangong Xunzhang has been pressing Zhang Rui to keep me from falling into the "trap", but since Zhang Rui doesn't say anything, even if Nangong Xunzhang asks no matter how much he asks, it won't help, it can only be a waste time.

So I tugged on Nangong's wrist and said: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now, let's talk about the case!"

As I said that, I looked at Zhang Rui and asked, "When are we going to leave?"

Seeing that the topic changed, Zhang Rui quickly answered, "Let's start now. The car is downstairs. I'll drive. Let's go straight to the north!"

After simply packing up our things, we went directly to the north of the provincial capital.

Along the way, Zhang Rui did not drive very fast, but continued to tell us about the situation of Ci'en Temple.

He said that after the first group of monks sent to investigate the situation disappeared, they sent two groups of people successively, but these two groups of people came out after walking around in the mountains, and did not find the Temple of Grace at all. It seemed as if it had evaporated overnight.

I asked Zhang Rui, what grades were the people they sent later.

Zhang Ruidao: "They're all celestial masters, above the Lizong level, and there's also one who has crossed the catastrophe!"

I asked again: "Did they not encounter any enchantment?"

Zhang Rui shook his head and said, "No, according to what our people said, they didn't encounter any barriers or seals at all. The agility in the entire mountain was normal, and there wasn't even any dirty things."

The temple is gone! ?When we were in the teahouse, Zhang Ruike didn’t say anything, it seems that the first thing we have to do now is to go to the temple!

After that, we talked a lot, but there were no clues related to the case.

In the middle of the night, our car drove onto a mountain road. The mountain road was difficult to walk, full of potholes, and many places were built on the edge of the cliff. If we were not careful, we might crash the car and die.

Walking on this mountain road, Zhang Rui said: "The Ci'en Temple has been built for some years, and this road was left when the Ci'en Temple was built at that time. It is located in the deep mountains, and there is no good road. The door is closed to thank guests, so not many people know about that temple, and no outsiders have visited it for many years."

We bumped along this mountain road for more than two hours, and we arrived at the end of this mountain road in the middle of the night.

At the end of this mountain road is a mountain ridge, on which the foundation of the temple can be vaguely seen, but the temple is gone.

Looking at the foundation, I couldn't help asking Zhang Rui: "Are you sure this temple has been built? Look at the foundation, and look at the stones thrown beside it. Why do I feel that the temple here is only half built?"

Zhang Rui's understanding of this place is only limited to the information. He was stunned when he saw the situation here, and after a while he said: "Could it be that the first batch of people who sent back the information read it wrong? This Ci'en Temple Didn't fix it?"

Tang Qing also said at this time: "It's very possible. Do you still remember that we once asked the craftsmen who built this temple? As soon as the foundation was repaired, the owner of the temple replaced another group of people to continue the construction. And the other person who built the temple, we couldn't find it, maybe that group of people didn't exist at all, and the temple didn't continue to be built at all!"

Zhang Rui nodded, and then said: "But after our investigation, all the bronze arrowheads were indeed transported to the deep mountains by Duan Kairui. After confirming this situation, we sent people into the mountains to investigate, and found out' Ci'en Temple', if there is no Ci'en Temple here, then where are those arrowheads transported?"

Looking at the foundation, Zhang Rui couldn't help asking.

Nangong Xiong said from the side: "Your materials are so insufficiently prepared, this case has been going on for a while, and your work is too insecure!"

Zhang Rui smiled awkwardly.

Tang Qing said on the other side: "Senior brother Zhang, don't make any trouble this time, my spiritual career is all on you and this case, don't hurt me, the people you found to investigate the information Is it reliable?"

Zhang Rui said: "They are all from your Tang family, do you think it is reliable!"

Now it was Tang Qing's turn to feel a little embarrassed.

In any case, if it comes, it will be safe. Although there is no temple in the Ci'en Temple, the foundation is still there. Maybe we can find some clues in the foundation.

We split up and started looking for clues in this foundation.

Nangong Xiong directly used the eye of the galaxy, while Zhang Rui and Tang Qing used the power of the state of mind.

The power of my state of mind was soaring in Miaogou Village, so I adjusted my breath a little, and the power of my state of mind was spread in a large area, and every brick and stone of the entire foundation was checked clearly.

During the first inspection, Nangong Xiong said: "Zhang Rui, you said just now that the people you sent in the second batch didn't see this temple, didn't they even see the foundation!"

Zhang Rui nodded and said: "According to their narration, they walked to the end of the road and saw a green hill without a temple or foundation! They also took photos, and I have seen it. It is indeed a green hill. There is nothing in Qingshan."

Hearing this, I was even more surprised.

Including the first group of people who came here, we should be considered the third group. We took the same road and arrived at the same place, but the "scenery" we saw was completely different. What's going on? Son?
Most importantly, the only first group of people who had seen the temple were missing.

Could it be that there is danger after seeing that temple?
When I was thinking about this, a wave of Yin Qi suddenly appeared within the scope of my investigation, and the Yin Qi activity in that place was like a spring constantly bubbling up from the ground.

I hurried over there. At this time, Nangong Xiong, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing also noticed it, and they surrounded me at the same time.

Judging from the foundation, this should be a main hall, and judging from the shady position of the main hall, it should be the place where the statues are placed.

Nangong Xiong looked at it for a while and said, "There is an arrow down here!"

After she finished speaking, Zhang Rui and I immediately took out our shovels and started digging. After a while, we dug down to a depth of more than two meters. We really dug out a box of bronze arrowheads. from.

After opening the box, we found that the arrowheads inside were not the rusty ones we saw in the tomb of General Cannibal Mountain, but brand new, shiny arrowheads.

But I can basically confirm that these arrows come from the general's tomb, because these arrows have the same aura as the arrows in the tomb. I remember the type of Yin Qi very clearly, and there is absolutely no mistake.

Why are these arrows buried here?
In any case, we have found something, at least it proves that one point in Zhang Rui's information is correct, those arrowheads bought by Duan Kairui were sent here, if not all, some of them were sent here.

So we should be able to find more clues here.

We kept searching, but then we couldn't find any more clues.

Originally, I thought that when we got here, we would either find the Ci'en Temple or not, but I didn't expect to find only the foundation.

So all our previous plans were disrupted.

If we don't find any clues about the Ci'en Temple, we will continue to search. If we find it, we will go directly to the temple to find Duan Kairui and the problem will be solved.

But now we only found this foundation, how should the case progress next?
After searching for a while, we didn't have any clues, so we pitched a tent nearby and planned to live here first. This case can't be completed in a day or two. We should live here for a while.

There are arrows here, maybe the person who buried the arrow will come back to get it, and when they come to get the arrow, we just need to catch the person who took the arrow, and things will be easy.

After setting up the tents, we went back to our respective tents to sleep, but at this moment, there was a sound of "jingling bells" in the distance, which sounded like the bells of the merchant horse team in ancient times.

No, the rhythm is not the bell of the cattle, it seems that someone is holding a bell and shaking it constantly.

This reminds me of the scene in the movie where the corpse chaser drives the corpse with a bell!
In short, the ringtone was so weird that I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.
