Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 223 The Temple
Li Sisheng rushed to the scene, strongly objected, and wanted to go down to the well to check, but was blocked by the Muming Mansion and the people.

Mu Ming Mansion meant that Li Sisheng's identity should be kept there. If something happened, Mu Ming Mansion could not bear the responsibility.

The people denounced him bitterly, saying that he had blasphemed the Dragon King.

Helpless, he could only watch as the two lively children were thrown into the well.

After a day of anger, he wanted to sneak into Suolongjing at night to see if he could rescue the child, but he was discovered again by Muming Mansion.

Mu Mingfu repeatedly begged him not to cause trouble for no reason for the sake of the safety of the people.

He promised on the surface, but secretly he was still investigating secretly, but he had no manpower, so the progress was slow.

But at this moment, hail suddenly fell again, completely destroying the few crops in the field.

There were rumors among the people that it was Li Sisheng who had offended the Dragon King, and the Dragon King cast another curse.

For a time, he was the target of public criticism.

Fortunately, the Muming Mansion arrested a few people who took the lead in spreading rumors and severely punished them, and finally managed to curb the spread of rumors.

But as a result, everyone in the county government regarded him as a plague and stayed away from him.

It was obvious that he wanted to help the people, but he was misunderstood by the people.

This made him sleepless and almost depressed.

Because the hailstorm came again, Muming Mansion had to sacrifice boys and girls again. Even if he wanted to stop it this time, he was powerless.

Just at this moment, Liu Dashan came to him and said that he wanted to go down to explore Suolong Well.

He was overjoyed and secretly made a lot of conveniences for Liu Dashan.

After Liu Dashan went down the well, he thought the truth of the matter was in front of him, but he never expected that the three people who had just come out of the well would be discovered and escorted to the county government office.

Mu Mingfu was furious and put the three people in jail, saying that they would be dealt with harshly.But the other two guards died the next day.

This caught him off guard and he hurried to the prison to see Liu Dashan, but was stopped by Mu Ming Mansion.

Two days later, Liu Dashan went crazy.At this time, the Muming Mansion no longer prevented people from visiting the prison, probably because they were afraid of being held responsible again.

But at this time, apart from bringing some food and clothing to Liu Dashan during his visit to the prison, he would definitely not be able to ask anything about the situation of Suolongjing.

But out of responsibility, Li Sisheng must go to visit and see Liu Dashan looking crazy.

It made Li Sisheng feel extremely guilty, feeling that he had harmed everyone.

He really had no choice but to write a letter to his uncle asking for help when Yuan Shouwei appeared.

This is what happened.

After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He heard about the locking of Longjing from the inn.

Then it was discovered that Liu Dashan was involved.

Then Liu Huaicunzheng told himself that Liu Dashan was crazy.

Now Li Sisheng told him that he was also investigating the locking of Longjing.

He felt more and more that locking Longjing was not simple, and he also felt that he was getting closer to the truth.

Thinking of this, he also said:
"Sisheng, I'm going to the prison today."

"Liu Dashan is not crazy, his soul has been stolen."

After hearing this, Li Sisheng couldn't help but be stunned and asked quickly:

"Has your soul been stolen?"

"Did the demonic dragon take away the soul or was it man-made?"

Yuan Shouwei shook his head and said:

"I'm not so sure right now."

"Also, why did Mu Ming Mansion stop you again and again?"

"Is there something wrong with him?"

After Li Sisheng frowned and thought for a moment, he said hesitantly:

"It's unlikely that he had any motive."

"And I heard that when the sacrifices first started, he included his own daughter in them."

"Besides, the position is different. What he wants is good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Maybe he can accept it if a few people die in exchange for this." After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei said:

"Then let's change our thinking. At present, all the clues point to Suolongjing. How about I go to Suolongjing myself and take a look."

After hearing this, Li Sisheng shook his head repeatedly and said:
"No, no, no."

"Now everyone's eyes are fixed on Suolongjing. It's hard for you to go down."

After a pause, he turned his eyes to Yuan Shouwei and said sincerely:
"Daozhang, I'm not saying that your skills are not good enough."

"But I'm afraid that if I don't find out the truth when I go to the well. If someone finds you rashly going down the well and angering the Dragon King, the people will definitely be angry with you and me. Then I really won't be able to gain a foothold here."

"It's a small thing for me to leave, but if I don't figure out the truth of the matter, I'm afraid more people will be killed."

Yuan Shouwei also felt that what Li Sisheng said made sense, nodded and said:

"I have been here for a short time without your knowledge."

"Then it's up to you, Sisheng. Where do you think we should start?"

Li Sisheng must have had some calculations in his mind, so he immediately said:

"Daoist, since you are good at both medical skills and spells."

"Then why don't we check the bodies of the two guards first?"

"Let's see if we can find any clues."

Yuan Shouwei thought Li Sisheng's entry point was good, nodded and said:

"When I heard Liu Cunzheng say today that the cause of death of the two corpses could not be found, I felt a little strange."

"You can go take a look, maybe you can find clues."

"Where are the two corpses now? When is it convenient for us to check them?"

Seeing that Yuan Shouwei readily accepted his opinion and was not arrogant about force, Li Sisheng felt more and more that Yuan Shouwei could cooperate.He smiled and said:

"It's at Shanlin Temple in the east of the city."

"We will go after I go to the county government office tomorrow to handle official business."

Yuan Shouwei nodded in agreement.

After the two discussed, Yuan Shouwei had dinner at Li Sisheng's house and left.

morning of the second day.

Yuan Shouwei and Li Sisheng rode towards Shanlin Temple together.

It didn't take long to get there.

Yuan Shouwei raised his eyes and saw that there were many cedar trees planted around the temple, and he knew that this should be the origin of the temple.

Li Sisheng also explained at this time:
This Shanlin Temple was built in the former Sui Dynasty.

At that time, wars were raging in the former Sui Dynasty, and there was no time to take into account such a remote location as Liaocheng, so Liaocheng was once occupied by Goryeo.

Later, after the reunification of the Tang Dynasty, Liaocheng was recaptured.

Because Goryeo and Tang Dynasty mainly believed in Taoism and Buddhism, the Shanlin Temple was not destroyed, but was expanded a lot by Goryeo.

But now all this belongs to Datang.

The words are full of pride in regaining the country.

Yuan Shouwei understood his patriotic enthusiasm and walked into the temple with him while laughing.

After entering the mountain gate, you are faced with the Vajra Protector God of "General Hengha".

Further inside is the Hall of Heavenly Kings, which houses Maitreya Buddha, with Skanda behind and the four heavenly kings on both sides.

Further north is the Mahavira Hall, where Sakyamuni, Arhat and Guanyin are enshrined.

Although it is freezing outside, there are still many people passing through the temple.

In addition to the monks, there were also pilgrims, patients, and some travelers on their way.

This also made Yuan Shouwei secretly nod, my temples in the Tang Dynasty are better than those in the Western Regions.

Like the Tang Dynasty, the country had the courage to embrace all rivers.
