Doom Roar

Before Xu Mo could think of a better identification method, the way forward was blocked by a group of onlookers.

Because there were too many people watching, Xu Mo couldn't see what was going on, so he could only ask the people who walked out of it, and learned that someone picked up a seven or eight-year-old boy from the canal this morning. The family has not yet been found, and the people in the Yamen are planning to carry the little boy's body to Yizhuang first.

It was hot summer at this time, and there were always children playing in the canal. Even if the government repeatedly reminded the adults in the family, they were always reminded, but similar tragedies would happen almost every few days.

The government servants used the door panels to carry away the child's body covered with straw mats, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. When Xu Mo was about to return the same way, he suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him.

It's Uncle Niu. [

"Uncle Niu, why is it so early? Is there any early work?" Xu Mo greeted with a smile. Because Uncle Niu has a big family to support, he often comes to the Water Transport Wharf early to wait for work.

"How can I have early work every day? I just came out to try my luck... Just now, I happened to meet Detective Li from the yamen, and told him what you said yesterday. Detective Li also felt that what you said was reasonable, so I agreed. Arrange for you to meet up as soon as possible."

"Oh? I'm really bothering Uncle Niu..." Xu Mo reckoned that Li Gongfu's father was probably among those yamen servants just now, but he had never seen it before, so he couldn't guess which one.

"No trouble, Brother Mo, you grew up under the watchful eye of our old neighbors. We were also taken care of by your parents back then. Now that your parents are away, you should help me more..." Uncle Niu grinned with a simple and honest smile , the piled up wrinkles are like a flower blooming on the face, obviously also sincerely happy to help Xu Mo, "Captain Li quickly said, his wife and daughter will go to Jinshan Temple to offer incense this morning, you go directly You can see it at the entrance of the main hall..."

Jinshan Temple... Xu Mo always had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart when he heard this key place that runs through the entire plot of "The Legend of the White Snake".

"Uncle Niu, it's okay to go, but I don't know Mrs. Li and Qianjin, how can I know which one is them?"

Uncle Niu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, just see who is the tallest among the young girls, and that is Li Gongfu from the Li family."

Farewell to Uncle Niu, Xu Mo returned home the same way, entered the room and called Xu Xian'er who was still lying in bed, stuffed the meat buns bought on the way into her mouth, and the little girl who smelled the meat immediately became energetic, her hair was not combed Without washing his face, he squatted on the bed with the meat buns in his hands and ate tsk-tsk.

"Huh? Brother, where are you going?" Xu Xian'er asked curiously. Xu Mo changed into a clean blue long-sleeve shirt instead of the previous coarse-cloth jacket, obviously not going to work.

"Go see a friend."

Xu Mo said vaguely, he didn't dare to say that he went to Jinshan Temple for a blind date, otherwise, with Xu Xian'er's temper, he wouldn't have fallen out directly.

"Oh, come back soon then."

Xu Xian'er ate up the big meat bun in her hand, rubbed her small hands on her body a few times, jumped out of bed, tied Xu Mo's belt carefully, and evened out the folds of the robe.

"By the way, Xian'er." Before leaving, Xu Mo suddenly remembered the scene he saw by the canal just now, turned around and pulled Xu Xian'er over and told him, "No matter how hot it is, you must never swim in the river. No?"

Xu Xian'er nodded obediently, and said: "Then, big brother, Xiaohua and Xiaoniu asked me to go dig wild vegetables on Qibao Mountain together, can I go?"

"Yes, but don't stray too far from the main road."

Xu Mo naturally knew about this strange treasure mountain. In the original book "The Legend of the White Snake", this is the place where the legendary Ziyun Dragon King Ginseng practiced. Therefore, as long as you don't go too deep into the mountains, there is no danger at all.

……

Jinshan Temple was originally located on Jinshan on the south bank of the Yangtze River in the northwest of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. It was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty during Emperor Ming.In the Southern Dynasties and Tang Dynasty, the name of the temple was Jinshan Temple.During the reign of Zhenzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, because Zhenzong dreamed of Jinshan, he was named Longyou Temple.During Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, it was renamed Shenxiao Yuqing Longevity Palace because of his advocacy of Taoism.After Song Qinzong and Huizong were captured by Jin soldiers, they were renamed Longyou Temple.Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has also been called Jinshan Temple. [

Xu Mo has never been able to understand how Jinshan Temple, which is located on the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province in the real world, ran to the edge of Qiantang West Lake in this spiritual world, and even replaced the place where Jingci Temple should have been, but this did not affect this place. Buddhist temples hold an important position in the hearts of local people in Qiantang.

Xu Mo's residence is some distance away from the Jinshan Temple. Although this is nothing to him, he can't run like a lunatic in broad daylight along the street, so he had to spend a dozen dollars on the street to hire a car The donkey cart, resisting the slow speed that was not much faster than walking, scraped to the foot of Xizhao Mountain little by little.

Buddhist believers have the habit of burning incense and worshiping Buddha on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Today is the fifteenth day. A large number of people from all over the world gathered outside Jinshan Temple to burn incense and pray. At a glance, the bluestone steps up the mountain are full of black paint. The heads of many people, shoulder to shoulder, are truly spectacular.

Although Xu Mo was not a believer, standing empty-handed among the crowd who came to offer incense was a bit odd, so Nai had no choice but to buy some incense candles from a stall at the foot of the mountain and hold them in his hand.

Following the crowd all the way up the mountain until they entered the Daxiong Hall of Jinshan Temple, he saw quite a few tall girls, but Xu Mo couldn't tell which one was the legendary Li Gongfu, so he couldn't help thinking that Uncle Niu's vague description was true. It's not shallow.

It was Xu Mo's turn to offer incense soon, and it was not easy to take back the incense candles he bought with money, so he inserted the lighted incense candles into the incense burner outside the hall like everyone else, and threw a few big money into the merit box .

When Xu Mo was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by a young monk who released the lottery in the hall.

"This master, you call me?"

Xu Mo turned around and looked at the monk in front of him curiously. He was about 26 or [-] years old, dressed in gray and white plain monk robes, with a slender figure, but he was born with a good appearance. Among the monks of Jinshan Temple, he can be regarded as a rare handsome man.

"Amitabha Buddha! This benefactor, since you came to see my Buddha, why didn't you leave after worshiping?" The monk in plain clothes proclaimed the Buddha's name and asked Xu Mo with a smile.

"Master, why do you have to worship Buddha?" Xu Mo clasped his hands together and asked back.

The plain-clothed monk gestured to the numerous worshiping people in the main hall with one hand on his palm, and asked, "The almsgiver thinks, why do these people worship Buddha? They can worship, why can't the almstaker do so?"
