"Do you want to die? You can talk nonsense like that! The official is in front. But he also said, "Something happened before the artifact was stolen, you know?"

The artifact was stolen? Yan Saburo's heart moved slightly, and he and Chitose made eye contact. The latter suddenly patted the tall and thin husband on the shoulder: "Hey." ”

The man turned his head and saw Chitose smiling slightly.

The smile was brighter than a hundred flowers, and he was dizzy for a moment, and he couldn't extricate himself.

Although Chitose spoke softly, every word could penetrate the noisy human voice, and it didn't fall into his ears at all: "Excuse me, when was the artifact of the temple stolen?"

"Huh?" the man replied for a moment, "Great, about four months ago, the artifact was stolen from the temple by a gang of thieves. ”

"What is a fetish?"

He was about to answer, but the fat woman on the side saw that something was wrong, pushed him to the back, leaned up to Chitose with his chest up, and said sharply: "What are you doing to my man!"

Chitose smiled and looked at her condescendingly: "Just ask two words, what can you do?"

"You ......" The fat woman opened her mouth to scold, but before she burst out a word, she saw the cold light in the eyes of the young man next to her, which suffocated her heart. Look at the two people behind them, and suddenly there are more than a dozen people standing up. Although they were all silent, they surrounded her in the middle.

This frame is like a circle kick. She immediately coaxed, grabbed her husband with her backhand and scolded: "What do you say, say it!"

"Ah, what are you talking about?" the husband hadn't recovered from Chitose's smile.

The fat woman pinched his ear: "They bullied me, you are blind and don't see it?

She scolded out a fancy high note, and Chitose took Yan Saburo's hand for a long time, and turned her head to look at him: "Let's go?"

"Hmm. "Where there is her, there is chaos, the boy quickly took her out of the crowd.

All the men followed closely, and the voice of the fat woman scolding her husband was still heard behind them.

"She scolds me for being a vixen!" Chitose was not very happy, "at least a cat spirit, right? ”

"Well, she has eyes and no beads, so she can't recognize your real body. Yan Saburo led everyone to the north.

"Where are you going?"

"In front of it is the Ji Temple. Yan Saburo said slowly, "It's all here, you might as well go and find out the news." ”

Huo Dongjin thought thoughtfully: "The artifact was stolen, four months ago, what do you think?"

"It's just a guess. The timing was just right. ”

......

Ji Miao was the scene of the theft four months ago, and Yan Saburo and his party walked in easily and unobstructed. In fact, it's also a place where people come and go from time to time.

The area of the temple is not small, there are towering ancient trees planted in the huge courtyard in front, a large pond under the tree, the red lotus green leaves in summer should be very meaningful, but at this time even the water surface with residual lotus stalks are frozen, only a little broken leaves swagger with the wind, indescribable decadence.

The main hall is very magnificent, although it is a weathered building, but the large brick carvings on the wall are very intact, and the hump of the roof and the beams are painted with pure gold, which is not easy in the north city where people come and go.

There is also a large open space behind the main hall. Today's Anlai City is also an inch of land, and such a large piece of land is very valuable.

"This architectural style is not like that of the Tongyuan clan. Chitose muttered. With the temper of the Tongyuan people, if it doesn't like the eyes, they have to change it, they can all remove the roof of the house in the palace of the former Duo and replace it with their own iconic white walls and red tiles, how can the temple retain the old form?

Yan Saburo and the others walked into the main hall, and they all let out a soft "oh".

Of course, there are statues of the gods in the temple. But the clay statue in front of me is too familiar:

Tall, hideous-looking, with a third eye.

It's a three-eyed monster.

Everyone had expected it, and it was no longer strange. The three-eyed monster that enjoys the worship here is obviously much better than in the mountains, the clay statue is also plated with a golden body, the offering table has melons and fruits, and the incense is very vigorous.

There was a temple priest sitting by the door, staring at everyone's every move with wide eyes.

Yan Saburo went to the statue to ask for a lot, and then took the sign to the temple to Zhu, and handed over two taels of silver at the same time.

Civilians untie the signature, a dozen copper plates are enough, and the rich and noble people only give some scattered silver, and it is too rare to be as generous as Yan Saburo. The temple was full of enthusiasm.

He just took the silver, and Yan Saburo said, "In addition to unsigning, I also ask you something." ”

"Good. Lao Miaozhu looked at the words "Red Cloud Accompanied by the Sun Exhibition Eagle" on the sign, and said happily: "Sign up, son, you have a bright future, and you have nobles to help, and in the future, you will be like an eagle spreading its wings and going straight to the sky." ”

"Really?" Yan Saburo didn't care about the sign, after all, this is a temple dedicated to the three-eyed monster, and the three-eyed monster itself has been eaten by a thousand-year-old glass lamp, what other divinity and magic are there?" "Old man, I see that the god statue used to hold something in his hand, where is it now?"

The Three-Eyed Monster Idol faced each other, as if it was holding something, but it was empty now.

"Ahh Miao Zhu's face showed annoyance, "You said that the artifact was stolen four months ago!"

"What is a fetish?"

"The idol is a stone tablet. Miao Zhu stretched out his hand to gesture the size, "It's so big, to ensure that the whole country is in good weather." Generations of Anlai people have watched it grow up, and as a result, it was stolen! To this day, we have never thought about which one is not open-minded...... Ugh!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly snapped, like a chicken being strangled by the neck, and his face changed as soon as the wind changed: "That gang of thieves is really not afraid of death." ”

Chitose was curious: "Afraid of death means that if you are caught, you will be beheaded?"

"That's the treasure of Anlai's town, and the thieves will naturally be beheaded if they are caught, but even if they don't have a law-" Miao Zhu's tone was gloomy, "The end will definitely not be good, don't worry." ”

Yan Saburo interjected: "If the stele is here, the country will be able to adjust the wind and rain?"

"Yes, wow. Miao Zhu looked at him and said, "Don't believe it, young people, Xuanguo has not been flooded or drought, and even a small locust plague has not come once, it is the work of this divine object; as a result, the divine object was lost a few months ago, and the banks and tributaries of the Qingyang River immediately flooded, drowning thousands of people, I heard that the rivers and rivers are full of dead bodies, and you can meet a lot of corpses by washing clothes; in the north, there is a snow disaster, and there will be no heavy snow at this time in previous years, only this year...... Alas, it has been peaceful for so long, and everyone thinks that natural disasters will never happen again. Who can stand it for so many times all of a sudden?"

Yan Saburo and others entered from the south, and along the way they heard about the Qingyang flood, which is said to be a major flood once in 500 years, inundating countless lands on both sides of the river, destroying farmland and suffering to the people.

After the flood, the plague followed, and it was the civilians who were unlucky.
