Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 43 God or Monster
After comparing the handwriting of the temple's merit book, the three of them felt as if they had fallen into a bigger mystery.

First of all, according to Qin's impression, if the Miao Zhu old woman has never changed, she must be at least a hundred years old.

According to Qin Shuang, the villagers have witnessed three or four women in their 30s over the years, and the girl who was adopted and given away for adoption should be in her twenties now.In other words, if the old woman is acting, then she may be one or several of these women. The minimum age limit is twenty, and the upper limit is difficult to determine.

However, the handwriting checked by Li Guan also shows that Miao Zhu should have been alone for at least 50 years. If she is played by an adopted woman, then she is not too young.The adopted baby girl and the two women Qin Shuang saw can all be ruled out.But if it is stable as one person for 50 years, why don't other young women appear at the same time as the old woman?

"It seems that this mountain temple does hide a lot of secrets."

Li Guan still looked calm, while Bai Sanxiu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.Murong Ke said again, "If she really lived that long, the bloodstains that Sanxiu saw in the kitchen reminded me of a certain religion. Did you also think of it, Huiming?"

Bai Sanxiu looked at the two curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"Eternal Life Teaching."

As soon as these three words came out, Bai Sanxiu almost bit her tongue.Murong Ke was wondering why she was so excited, she scratched her head and said, "Is it where Miss Qiu Ji's little golden lock came from?"

"Exactly. When this cult was destroyed, Huiming and I were still young and didn't have much memory. It was only after the Huayuelou case happened that we looked through the files to understand."

"Then what does it have to do with blood? I remember Wu Jinshou said that it is drinking water and fasting grains to bless people with immortality."

"This longevity religion is not so harmless." Murong Ke said with a rare seriousness, "This religion originally originated in the Xijiang area of ​​Zhuangzhou. The real teaching method is the sacrifice of living people. Ordinary believers exchange blood for divine water. Legend has it that drinking this water , you can live forever." He noticed that Bai Sanxiu trembled slightly when he heard "living sacrifice", "What's wrong?"

"I... I'm a little scared."

"Oh, it's okay, this cult has long since disappeared."

"Wu Jinshou also said that it happened more than 20 years ago. Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"When the governor of Luozhou besieged and suppressed the fake Longevity Sect in his jurisdiction, there was a very interesting person in the file."

Li Quan said suddenly: "You mean that He Ye."

"That's right. This man claimed to be a Youfang doctor, and he liked bloodletting. Although he firmly refused to admit that he wanted to drink blood, after drinking animal blood for a few days in prison, he was still aging rapidly, and died suddenly soon, and it rotted very quickly. He knew from the very beginning that the Luozhou Longevity Cult was just a false name to make money, which means that he is very likely to be a real believer."

Bai Sanxiu murmured: "You mean... maybe he drank some kind of magic water to become like that."

"Maybe he is an immortal person? But because a certain ritual was interrupted, he died quickly." Murong Ke said with emotion, "If such immortality is true, is this a fairy or a monster? You Why is my face so pale, I'm so scared. Okay, okay, let's not talk."

Li Quan said, "Sanxiu, you are from Qingyan, Zhuangzhou. Have you never heard of the Longevity Sect?"

"Huh, are you from Qingyan? That's really close. The Changshengjiao General Altar is in Dayue Mountain near Qingyan."

Bai Sanxiu's face was almost bloodless, she shook her head and said, "No. Didn't this religion disappear by then?"

Murong Ke thought for a while, "It was the 25th year of Yonghui that King Yu wiped out the Longevity Sect."

"I was born in 27 years. I haven't heard anyone mention it since I can remember."

"Well, the masterminds of the Longevity Sect are all sentenced to death, and Dazhao is banned from the whole region. I guess people in Qingyan dare not mention it again."

The three chatted about other things, and seeing that it was getting late, Bai Sanxiu went back to the main house to sleep.Li Quan and Murong Ke were about to rest after washing, but unexpectedly, Bai Sanxiu left and came back, and knocked on their door again, with a strange look on his face.

"I, can I..." She stammered, "Sleep in the same room with you?"

Murong Ke's mouth formed a circle in surprise, while Li Quan's eyebrows were raised high.
