Chapter 113: Temple

As early as in Cangjian Villa, Li Chaoge had heard Sheng Lanchu tell the story of Qianyuanjian. Sheng Lanchu said that this sword was the funeral of an emperor, and followed him to the north and south. Later, “the emperor passed away?” and brought this sword into the tomb specially. In the legend of the Undead Village, it is also said that their Valkyrie was born under the destiny of his destiny.

Li Chaoge has always listened to the legend of the **** of war as a story, the ruler? In order to win people’s hearts, what kind of nonsense? But Li Chaoge didn’t expect that reality and legend would actually confirm each other.

The Valkyrie really has a person, even the Kui Emperor who unified the nations and the Valkyrie are the same person. Li Chaoge opened his mind, and more and more thoughts came up. The Qianyuan Sword was the funeral of Emperor Kui. The Ye Mingzhu in the Flying Heaven Picture was stolen from the Emperor’s Mausoleum, and now there is a Valkyrie. Is the number of appearances of this Emperor Kui too dense?

“Commander?”

Li Chaoge was taken aback and immediately put down the Qianyuan sword in his hand. Bai Qianhe came out from the inside and found that Li Chaoge was staring at the sky motionlessly. He approached, looked up to the sky, and asked: “Commander?, what did you just look at?”

Li Chaoge quietly put the Qianyuan sword away? He said casually: “It’s nothing. Is the word extension finished?”

“Almost, just wait for the ink to dry.”

Li Chaoge nodded lightly and said, “Go to other places. Any clues are not allowed.”

Bai Qianhe responded. He turned around and pointed to the huge statue of the **** of war in the middle of the altar, and asked? “What about this stone statue and the altar?”

Li Chaoge glanced at the statue extremely lightly, and said, “Draw the pattern on the altar? Then, let’s blow it up.”

When Bai Qianhe heard it, he was stunned for a moment: “Did it explode?”

“Yeah.” Li Chaoge stared at Bai Qianhe expressionlessly, “Otherwise, do you plan to wait for this altar to continue to function and convert more people into iron corpses?”

Bai Qianhe scratched his head: “It’s not…” Of course he didn’t want to create more dead bodies, but Li Chaoge was serious about any line of words in the temple, and she directly let the stone statue blow up. Bai Qianhe always feels that her attitude is very strange.

However, destruction is indeed the most permanent method. Since Li Chaoge let it be exploded, Bai Qianhe has nothing to do with it. He said, “It’s fine if it’s a hundred. I’ll let someone prepare explosives.”

Bai Qianhe turned around and left. After a few steps, he was suddenly stopped by Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge stood with his back to the sun, and Bai Qianhe stood in the cave. Some could not see the look on Li Chaoge’s face.

Li Chaoge asked?: “When did you meet me in Fenzhou, when was it?”

Good point, why do you suddenly ask? Start this? Bai Qianhe thought for a while and said, “It seems to be the tenth to eighth month of the first lunar month.”

“The tenth to eighth of the first month…” Li Chaoge murmured, yes, that day was also in her memory. Bai Qianhe pondered Li Chaoge’s face and asked? “What happened to this day?”

“It’s nothing.” Li Chaoge said casually. “It’s been too long, some of you can’t remember the day. You go and prepare.”

Is it really okay? Bai Qianhe was suspicious, but he didn’t ask again, but nodded and said: “Okay, I’m going now.”

Throughout the day, Li Chaoge was at the altar, but his mind was always flying away without knowing it. She remembered that when she was in the village, she was secretly visiting the temple, where she misunderstood the other party, and the old woman said to her: “Since you have learned the tactics of the Valkyrie, then stay? and serve the Valkyrie for life.”

Gu Mingke taught her how to track her, and the old woman would do it too. Li Chaoge knew that this might be a coincidence. Witchcraft was prosperous in the era when the old woman was in, and even the common people could have some simple witchcraft. Maybe some tactics have been passed down from this, and it is very possible for Gu Mingke to learn this method from classics. However, Li Chaoge felt inexplicably? Not so.

During the period of poisoning, Li Chaoge had been living in seclusion in the mountains to recuperate, and had no idea of the passage of time. But she can probably figure it out? The day they went to the Wushen Temple and bumped into the villagers offering sacrifices, it happened to be the ninth day of the first lunar month. On that day, the masked man danced a sacrificial dance while saying: “Weiyu worships the **** of war, and celebrates the birthday of the **** of war.”

In other words, the birth of Valkyrie is the ninth day of the first lunar month. Previously, when Pei Chuyueming got married, the marriage book fell into Li Chao’s singer by fate. Li Chaoge happened to know that Gu Mingke’s birthday was also the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Gu Mingke knows the Taoist ritual, the location of the Taoist Temple, the Taoist Tracking Technique, and the same birthday as the Valkyrie. So much overlap, is this really a coincidence?

Li Chaoge looked at the statue of the **** of war from a distance, and let out a long breath.

Li Chaoge’s mind was messed up all day. When the sun was setting, the Town Demon Division collected all the useful information in the cave. Everyone stood far outside the cave and lit the fuse.

The flame gleamed and burst into the cave with a crackle. After a while, there was a loud bang from the cave.

The rocks at the entrance of the cave collapsed one after another, and a cloud of dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun. After the mist cleared, the entrance of the cave was also buried.

Li Chaoge watched the Martial God Temple fall into ruins. She was finally satisfied, nodded slightly, and said, “If someone wants to close this area in the future, no matter what reason or identity, they will all be arrested. ?.”

“Yes.”

Li Chaoge held the long sword and walked first? Xiangshan: “Go? Let’s go and search for the next stop.”

·

In the village at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Shao and Ma Linlang were searching house by house. Zhou Shao came? Come over? and asked? Mo Linlang: “Are there any gains?”

Ma Linlang shook his head. She has yin and yang eyes, but just being able to see ghosts does not mean she can see through. When searching for evidence, you still have to search bit by bit.

Zhou Shao stood in the yard. He picked up the **** and tried it, and said inexplicably, “What do I think? This kind of **** is not very common.”

More than uncommon, it makes people suspect that this **** is not the same era as now. Everyone from the Town Demon Division came to the village? Back and forth, when they suddenly saw someone on the mountain road, they stopped one after another? Ask? Good: “Gu Shaoqing.”

When Zhou Shao and Mo Linlang heard it, they hurried out? Come out? Salute: “Gu Shaoqing.”

Gu Mingke nodded slightly. He glanced across the crowd and asked? “Your commander? Haven’t come back yet?”

Ma Linlang shook his head. Li Chaoge placed them here this morning and took people into the mountain by himself, but he hasn’t come back yet. Gu Mingke couldn’t help but look back at the sky: “It’s all? It’s time, so it should be done.”

The altar was empty and empty, except for murals and sacrificial texts, there was nothing else to see. Even if Li Chaoge led someone to dig the altar three feet into the ground, it would not be delayed until now.

Gu Mingke frowned secretly, could it be that she had an accident? Gu Mingke’s thoughts hadn’t fallen yet, and suddenly there was a loud noise from the depths of the mountains. Everyone at the foot of the mountain looked up and saw a group of flying birds fluttering out from the big mountain, circling back and forth in the sky, with constant chirping.

Mo Linlang was surprised: “What’s the matter?”

What Gu Mingke felt was an accident, and then he laughed. It seems? He still underestimated Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge searched for his house, and he didn’t just dig the ground three feet, the foundation is all? Can it blow up for you.

Everyone was whispering, their faces uncertain, all? I don’t know what happened in the mountains. Gu Mingke didn’t rush, and said, “Let’s go away and do their own things. In half an hour, she will come out.”

Ma Linlang widened her eyes in surprise, half an hour? She didn’t doubt Gu Shaoqing, but Gu Shaoqing didn’t see anyone at all, how did he know that the princess went down the mountain after half an hour?

Mo Linlang went back to the village with suspicion and continued the search. After some time, there was a voice from outside, as if someone else had come back. Mo Linlang glanced at the time?, immediately stunned.

It’s really half an hour.

Mo Linlang ran out to greet Li Chaoge, Zhou Shao stepped ahead of her and had already left. Zhou Shao asked: “The commander? We heard a loud noise at sunset. Did you hear it?”

Li Chaoge was explaining the matter, but he didn’t have time to reply. Bai Qianhe followed Li Chaoge with his hands on his back, and said, “Of course we heard such a loud sound.”

Zhou Shao glanced at him and asked vigilantly: “What happened in the mountains?”

“It’s nothing.” Bai Qianhe tugged his sleeves. The Demon Secretary’s clothes were well dressed, and he was forced to put on a posture of undue beating, “That is to say, the mountain was blown up.”

Zhou Shao was surprised, but didn’t react at once? Li Chaoge heard Bai Qianhe’s whispers again and glanced at him coldly: “Don’t pay attention to him. We don’t understand the words in the temple. In order to prevent future troubles, I asked him to blow up the altar.”

Exploded? The expressions of Zhou Shao and Ma Linlang cracked for a while, it turned out that they caused the loud noise in the evening. Li Chaoge’s way of solving the problem… is really unique.

Li Chaoge walked around in the crowd and asked, “Where is Gu Mingke?”

When Mo Linlang heard it, he immediately pointed to the village temple: “Shaoqing is searching in the temple.”

Li Chaoge glanced forward and said to Bai Qianhe: “You take them to carry the evidence, I will go to the temple to have a look.”

Bai Qianhe snorted, with a wrinkled and sour expression on his face. Who can’t tell if you look at it? Well, did Li Chaoge go to see the temple? She obviously went to see people!

Li Chaoge will come soon? Go to the village temple. She has been to this temple before, and she was stunned by people here, and now she is returning to her old place, and she is deeply moved.

Heavy torches are burning in the temple, and the light in the temple can be seen from a long distance away. When Li Chaoge came in? When the people in Dali Temple saw it, they saluted: “Commander?”

Li Chaoge waved his hand and signaled them to continue their errands without being polite. When Li Chaoge walked into the yard, the first thing was to walk to the four corners. There are still heavy stone platforms here, but the people on the stone platforms have disappeared.

Gu Mingke came out of the temple, and saw Li Chaoge looking around the stone platform, walking? Come over? Ask? “What did you just do?”

Li Chaoge knocked on the stone platform with a face as he should: “Blow up the statue of the **** of war.”

Sure enough, Gu Mingke laughed and asked? “Why?”

“There is no reason.” Li Chaoge hugged his sword around his arms, and it looked like that? It was really like that. “It’s so ugly, it’s uncomfortable to look at him. Just ruin it, and see.”

Gu Mingke glanced at her lightly and didn’t care about her. Gu Mingke continued to go to the temple to collect evidence. Li Chaoge followed. She entered the door, and when she saw the weird statue, her hands began to feel uncomfortable again.

Gu Mingke obviously didn’t look back, but as if he could see Li Chaoge’s thoughts, he said, “This is an evidence, please restrain yourself. Even if you really want to vent your anger, please wait until we get the evidence.”

Li Chaoge sneered, she didn’t seem to care, but after Gu Mingke left, her gaze quietly fell on the back of the other person.

People in Dali Temple were beating around. Li Chaoge thought of something and said, “Right, I remember? There is a mechanism on the back wall.” Li Chaoge said, bypassing the statue, pointing to the tightly connected wall: “It’s here.”

When other people heard Li Chaoge’s words, they gathered around one after another. Someone tried to knock on the stone, and the echo was thick and strong, and it was solid at first glance.

Everyone whispered: “Really? Why do I think? This wall is solid?”

Gu Mingke raised his head and looked at the wall. After a while, he said: “The wall is indeed solid, and the mechanism is on the floor tiles.”

Everyone was taken aback again, and hurriedly fell to the ground and knocked on the ground. It didn’t take long for someone to shout: “Shaoqing, commander? This is hollow!”

People from the Town Demon Division heard the movement and ran over to see. Everyone worked together and lifted two floor tiles, revealing a narrow passage below.

When the guards were prying bricks, Li Chaoge stood behind, holding his sword and looking far away. She seemed to be unintentional, and casually said: “Gu Shaoqing really knows these kinds of temples, but she just glanced at it from a distance, and she didn’t even go forward to try, knowing that the mystery lies below.”

“Music, it’s just something that can be guessed by using your brain? I dare not be a commander? Lift it up.” The passageway has been completely exposed. Gu Mingke glanced at her lightly and asked, “Go?”

Li Chaoge silently curled the corners of his lips and took the lead into the tunnel with his sword in his arms.

The tunnel is very narrow and cramped, because it is very depressing if it is not ventilated. Fortunately, there is only a short section of the tunnel. Li Chaoge walked up the steps and found himself entering a completely opaque secret room.

Many things like lotus roots were scattered everywhere, and Gu Mingke followed closely and set a torch on the wall of the secret room. Only then did Li Chaoge see that it was not the lotus joints, but the limbs of various shapes. These things are scattered on the ground randomly, like a doll that has been disassembled, but it is very lifelike. The flames swayed on it, quite terrifying.

Bai Qianhe loves to join in the fun, he followed eagerly? He almost didn’t get scared to death when he raised his head sharply. Mo Linlang wrinkled her nose immediately after coming in. She smelled a smell she didn’t like: “Commander, there is a strong ghost here.”

Bai Qianhe’s lips trembled: “Ghost?”

“Yes.” Li Chaoge didn’t want to step forward, and pointed with a sword casually, and said, “These? These are the limbs used by ghosts to pretend to be people. Bai Qianhe, be careful not to step on other people’s fingers.”

Bai Qianhe’s whole person? Something’s wrong, he held a foot for a moment? I don’t know? Where to put himself: “Isn’t this a puppet for performance?”

“Almost, it’s just for the dead.” Li Chaoge said, “Assembled? It’s quite realistic, but it needs to be unplugged and cleaned frequently.”

Bai Qianhe opened his mouth in amazement, unable to understand what he heard. He silently closed his mouth, and walked on his toes? To the secret crossing: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. You continue to talk, this occasion is not suitable for me.”

Li Chaoge ignored the group of Bai Qianhe. She looked around and asked? “The set of limbs used by the villagers to pretend to be adults and go to Turtleback Village to send portraits is in this pile of debris?”

Gu Mingke nodded: “It should be. I knew it? They were dead, so they used spirituality.”

What the Pursuit of Pursuit is looking for is the aura on the target. No wonder Li Chaoge was finally here. Li Chaoge wanted to understand the reason, and didn’t want to look at these arms and legs here, and walked out of the secret with his clothes: “So, so, it seems that my spell was correct. Then I can rest assured.”

Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke came out one after another? Gu Mingke handed the torch to the person next to him, and said lightly: “Restore the floor tiles.”

“Yes.”

The people in the back hum and do coolies, Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke are neatly dressed, Shi Shiran walks out of the temple. The moon has climbed high, shining brightly around it like water. Li Chaoge stepped on the silver splendor and there was no one on the road. She was not worried that these words would be heard, so she said to Gu Mingke: “So, those villagers are actually spirits, commonly known as ghosts. They just covered them. Those? Puppet-like limbs, that’s why they look like a living person. Then these? What’s the matter with the house? It’s too real to touch.”

“It’s really true.” Gu Mingke said, “Have you ever heard of a funeral?”

Li Chaoge understands that in ancient times, the tomb civilization was very barbaric. When the nobles died, they would bring many slaves to bury. Those with higher status will even build a small city and bring a small community to serve themselves. Want to come? This village is a funerary. The villagers naturally died long ago, but the houses and other buildings can be preserved?.

Li Chaoge murmured: “It’s no wonder that this village was built into an array shape. It turned out that it had a purpose from the beginning. What is this array used for?”

“Keep the villagers’ souls alive.”

Li Chaoge was speechless when he heard: “Doesn’t that mean, these? People can’t be reborn after death?”

“Yes.” Gu Mingke lowered his eyes, his tone seemed to be mocking but not mocking, “but some people think? This is eternal life.”

Li Chaoge pondered for a while, then asked?: “Since it is a funeral, why does this village appear on the ground? And, why must it be here?”

“Princess? This seems to be your case.” Gu Mingke said quietly, “If you have any questions, please check it yourself.”

Li Chaoge secretly said annoyingly, but Gu Mingke refused to say it, which meant that the matter ended here. I don’t know if I’m dead? Where can Li Chaoge go to check for those who have been talking for so many years?

Li Chaoge glared hard at his profile, and thought she would check her. However, the most urgent task is to solve the problem of Turtle Village as soon as possible.

Turtle Village has been wiped out. The tragedy is irreversible and can only be avoided as much as possible. Apart from Turtle Village, I wonder if there are any other villages recruited. Once the corpse poison occurs, it will infect people around one after another, so we must check all the residents and not let go of any corners. Not only the surrounding villages, but also Fenzhou.

Their work is so much? Very much.

Li Chaoge was caught in a long investigation. She relayed the characteristics of the corpse poison to Bai Qianhe, Mo Linlang, and Zhou Shao, and asked them to lead the team to find in the surrounding villages, while Li Chaoge himself stayed in Fenzhou for inspection. This task is not only related to political performance, but also to the peace of the country. Both Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke are very concerned. The two of them didn’t know how many household registrations they had gone through, how many places they had traveled, and they finally came to an end.

At sunset, everyone gathers information in the study. Bai Qianhe went to another place that had been checked, and lazily said to Li Chaoge: “Commander? Gu Shaoqing, you should almost go back now.”

Li Chaoge was taken aback, raised his head and asked? “Why?”

“It’s June now, and your wedding is coming soon. It’s time to go back and prepare.” After Bai Qianhe finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows slowly, “Aren’t you forgetting?”

Gu Mingke paused when he flipped through the dossier, and immediately showed a sudden look. Li Chaoge tapped his palm lightly, yes, she had a wedding in July.

She really forgot.

Bai Qianhe looked at the two newlyweds with innocent faces in front of him, and was a little worried about the Gu family and the royal incense for a while.

Before that, Bai Qianhe absolutely didn’t believe that a man and a woman stayed in the same room late at night just to talk about work, but now, he believes. Both Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke are not normal people, Bai Qianhe is very suspicious, they both lie in bed on the wedding night? Can they talk about the case.

It’s outrageous.

There was still one tail left in the investigation, and Li Chaoge was very uneasy. Originally, he planned to leave it three days before the wedding. There were three days left on the road. After being talked about by everyone, I finally persuaded him to go back.

The female officials holding the wedding stayed in the capital to see through. As time passed, they gradually began to doubt themselves. Could it be that they remembered the wrong date? Princess Sheng Yuan? The wedding is not July 20th?

Seeing that July 20? is getting closer and closer, the bride and groom are not even there. Everyone at the Ministry of Rites couldn’t help but wonder, is this marriage still going?

The palace couldn’t bear it and sent someone to Fenzhou to remind him. However, during this period of time, Li Chaoge was investigating corpse poison in various places, changing a place a day, without knowing his whereabouts. Gradually, the Pei family also began to panic. Wouldn’t Gu Mingke run away from marriage, right? Pei Xiang was frightened by Pei Ji’an’s private resignation. Their family had committed holy anger once, and they couldn’t do it again. Gu Mingke looked at it and knew it well, he shouldn’t do such unscrupulous things, right?

However, Pei Xiang didn’t expect that Gu Mingke was even worse than he thought. With only seven days left before the wedding, the two masters of the wedding finally appeared.

Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge appeared at the city gate in a hurry. The two of them originally wanted to go to the imperial city, but they were finally dragged away by the ceremonial officer in a hurry.

The grandmothers pulled Li Chaoge in a panic, and said, “Princess?, don’t worry about the case, hurry up and get ready for the wedding.”

“Yeah, get the Chai Tian dress, let the princess try to fit it. If it doesn’t fit, please change it!”

“And the hair crown…”

·

Under the ground where you can’t see the five fingers, the long corridor is inlaid with a night pearl every some distance. Ye Mingzhu doesn’t know? Exudes a glow tiredly, clear and bright, but there is no temperature.

This is a place where there is no sunshine, no matter how hot or cold it is, the mountains and rivers will always be at night. The man in the black cloak walked quickly across the corridor. After entering the hall, he did not dare to look up, and immediately knelt down: “Lord? Come on.”

On the steps, a man is flipping through a book. He turned a page at random, and his voice was lazy and gorgeous: “What’s the matter?” “Back to the Lord? Come on, the North Altar is ruined.”

“Oh?” The person called the master finally raised some interest. He closed the volume and asked, “Who is it?”

“Li Chaoge.” The man in the cloak seemed to be afraid of the man above him. He raised his hand and his voice was tense. “The subordinate is incompetent. She failed to retrieve the Qianyuan sword. She escaped?”

“Fleeing again.” The man pushed open the book and looked at the people below with a smile, “When did the North Altar become as incompetent as you? How could she beat the four samurai?”

The cape’s head hangs lower: “It’s not her. There is another person.”

-“Wu Shen Temple” is over.
