I have an eternal eye

Chapter 29 Exploring the ancient pagoda at night

Things were suppressed!

When Zhang Biao heard this, he guessed the reason.

This kind of thing is really too common.

Bullying the superiors and concealing the inferiors, officials protect each other.

It's such a big deal, if no one reveals it, no matter how many people die, it won't be a big deal.

It involves not only Xiao San, but also harmful magic, so the Li family will naturally find a way to suppress it.

What Zhang Biao didn't expect was that the other party moved so quickly, and the flames were quickly put out as soon as they started.

The power of the Li family is evident.

But even if this happened, it would probably be useless.

Because behind them is the emperor...

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded and sneered: "These gangsters will indeed cause trouble."

When Duan Fei saw his agreement, a smile appeared on his face, "I rarely interact with Brother Zhang on weekdays. I will definitely drink to my heart's content today without getting drunk."

Hou Kun also nodded and said: "Okay, please come in quickly. Uncle Fu, please say hello to me."

"Yes, sir."

The old man who looked like a butler came forward and saluted, with an attentive smile, and led a few people towards the inner house.

As Zhang Biao walked, he looked back.

Hou Kun was still standing at the door, seemingly welcoming guests, but in fact he was a little anxious and kept looking at the end of the street.

Is he waiting for someone important?

It seems that this banquet is not that simple...

………

In the Hou Mansion, the decoration was not so festive.

There are no red heads hanging around the beams or 囍 inscriptions on the windows. There are only a dozen tables set up in the middle courtyard and they are full of guests.

The people Hou Kun made friends with were also very complicated, including richly dressed businessmen and people in the world who yelled at each other and had fierce eyes.

Of course, there are also many six-door colleagues.

They were arranged inside the house, with the door wide open, just in time to see the small stage in the courtyard.

Zhang Biao and other bronze medal catchers were placed at a table, while Wang Xin and other catchers were in another room.

The young man at the same table who had something to do, looked around with a stern look, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the concubine of Hou Baotou used to be the jade jade tower sign, and she was born with a beautiful face. I don't know when she came in?"

"Come in?"

Wang Xin was delighted, "That's the qualification that only a head wife has. She's getting married by a matchmaker, and she enters through the front door in a sedan chair with eight carriages."

"As for the concubine, she probably sneaked in through the side door and is currently listening to Mrs. Hou's lecture..."

Chatting here, the head catcher's side is equally lively.

"Seeing that the time has come, why is the chief waiting at the door? Could it be that some of the adults are coming tonight?"

"It's just a concubine. The adults won't come. He is waiting for the president of the Yichun Association..."

"Oh, tsk tsk...you are quite diligent..."

The world is like this. Hou Kun has been prosperous in recent years. Although some arrestees come here to give him face, they can't help but make some sarcastic remarks.

After a while, Hou Kun hurried back. Although he was smiling, the disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed.

He cheered up, raised his hands to the crowd and said, "Today is my old marquis's big day. I want to thank you all for coming. It doesn't matter. If you let go of the wedding cannon, it's just a pass."

After that, he waved his hand.

The sound of firecrackers rang out immediately outside, and at the same time the curtain on the stage was opened, and the troupe masters played and sang, which was very lively.

"Serve!"

The old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion said hello, and immediately a group of young men in Tsing Yi filed out carrying trays.

Braised shark's fin, braised deer tendon, poached tenderloin, fungus skin, celery...

"Okay, he's the cook from Jiuweizhai."

The knowledgeable head catcher immediately recognized it and tutted: "This banquet costs at least fifty taels of silver. The head catcher is really spending a lot of money."

"Talk nonsense, come on, colleagues, let's drink this cup!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

Soon, the banquet became lively.

Zhang Biao felt uncomfortable eating the food.

There is no other reason. Although he is causing trouble in the West Market, he only has a dozen taels of silver in his pocket. I am afraid that he can't even compare with the policeman next door.

It seems that we need to find a way to make some income as soon as possible...

Da da da!

The bangs sounded rapidly and the gongs sounded.

On the stage, I saw a woman dressed up in full attire, with a beautiful face, affectionate eyebrows, and soft lips. She sang: "Thick eyebrows lift a red fan, embroidered shoes pick up a long hairpin, the moon is shining brightly tonight, and the fragrance of flowers is leisurely..."

Needless to say, this is the famous Taipingfang prostitute Su Wanniang. Her every frown and smile are so charming that the young policemen next door are all stunned.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for being late."

In a short period of time, Hou Kun smelled of alcohol. When he came in, he repeatedly confessed and drank with everyone.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hou, I heard that the president of the Yi Chong Association is coming tonight?"

When everyone heard this, their ears pricked up.

Yichonghui and Xianghui are considered a Jianghu gang. But as the largest incense club in Yujing City, it is not ordinary. There are many people involved behind it, and there are many nobles and nobles supporting it.

Its president is named Gu Chou. He is not only the top master in the world who can establish a sect, but also a guest of many dignitaries.

This is also the reason why the chief catcher Guo An did not let Zhang Biao provoke him and sent Hou Kun to deal with it.

"Something happened over there..."

Hou Kun said something vague, then changed the topic and started talking about the recent gossip in the capital.

Zhang Biao smiled, but his mind was spinning a thousand times.

Something happened to Yi Chonghui?

Could it be that he went to the Witch Temple and provoked some being in the spiritual world...

………………

The Hou Mansion was lively and festive, but the Jade City under night was not so peaceful.

On Zhengyang Street, Jinwu Guards were patrolling.

Perhaps because of the sudden drop in temperature, night fog gradually appeared on the street, and the lights lining both sides of the street were dim.

In the team, a soldier had doubts in his eyes. He turned his head and looked nervously from time to time.

He was the one who, under the orders of Chu Shiyuan, beheaded Xiao San during the day and cut off his face completely.

"Zhou Hu, what are you doing!"

The Jinwu Guards soldiers at the rear scolded.

Zhou Hu swallowed his saliva and cursed in a low voice: "Mom, damn it, I always feel like someone is blowing a cool breeze behind my head."

"Stop talking nonsense, be careful of the captain's punishment!"

The soldier at the rear just cursed, then his eyes widened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

I saw Zhou Hu’s shoulder,

The hoarfrost gradually spreads,

A pair of human handprints appear.

"Ghost...ghost!"

The screams echoed through the long street...

…………

Zhaoguofang, Jokhang Temple.

The night air was cold, and the candlelight in the main hall was dim. In front of the Dharma Protector Vajra Platform, although the smoke of incense was still lingering, it was not as lively as during the day.

Black crows crow, and the pine and cypress temples are deep and quiet.

The moon's shadow fell slanting, and the stone steps of the pagoda were desolate.

As usual, the patrolling monks still shuttled through the various entrances to the temple and were cautious.

From the darkness on the roof of the towering hall, a dark figure cautiously poked its head out. It was none other than Fang Ying, the gold medal catcher who had been ordered to investigate.

Not only is his physical skills superb, far superior to Zhang Biao's, he is also experienced and cautious.

After spending two days in hiding, Fang Ying not only memorized the patrol routes in the temple, but also planned more than a dozen sneak escape plans.

That's right, run away.

As soon as he arrived, he discovered many strange things.

The daily consumption of food in the temple far exceeds the number of monks, and someone will send it to the pagoda regularly...

There are many pilgrims during the day, but even if dignitaries are introduced into the central courtyard, they will avoid the pagoda...

More importantly, he saw the monk in his heart.

Even if he looked at it from a distance, the opponent's aura made his scalp numb. Even the top green forest experts in the world did not give him this feeling.

This Zhaoguo Temple really has a big problem!

Fang Ying watched the pagoda from a distance.

All the answers are right there.

Outside the pagoda, there are expert monks guarding it. The monks are still coming in and out from time to time. All the windows of the entire pagoda are covered with blue bricks, which can be said to be airtight.

Fang Ying has thought of a way. If it doesn't work, he can only leave immediately and go back to recover.

Thinking of this, he walked lightly along the roofs of the halls and walked in circles towards the pagoda.

Unlike Zhang Biao's soul-seducing rope, Fang Ying wore special leather gloves covered with iron hooks. With the help of special movement skills, he could walk on the wall like a gecko.

Arriving near the pagoda, he jumped up and quietly lay on the outer wall of the pagoda while the patrolling monks were gone.

Under the moonlight, like a black gecko, he swished up to the top of the tower.

The top of the pagoda is still made of bricks and tiles.

Fang Ying peeled off the bricks and tiles three times, and when he saw the soil and straw, his eyes were filled with joy, and he moved faster, and he saw the wooden beams.

Push your hands down and twist.

Click!

With a faint sound, he twisted the wooden beams as thick as his arms apart one by one, revealing a hole the size of a washbasin.

Click, click, click...

Fang Ying twisted his body, his joints disengaged, and his whole body slid in like running water, and returned to its original shape when he landed.

The top of the pagoda is very narrow, like most pagodas, and houses a small Buddha statue and a wooden box containing relics.

Fang Ying didn't touch it randomly. After checking that there were no mechanisms around him, he put his toes on the ground and quickly went down the stairs as quietly as a cat.

After a while, we arrived at the bottom of the tower.

On the first floor of the pagoda, there was a faint flicker of fire and the sound of people talking.

"Senior Brother Kongxing, there have been a lot of casualties in the past few days. What did those senior brothers see?"

"Oh, I don't know, I can't see it at all. It's a pity that my uncle has no choice but to wait for people from the mountain to deal with it..."

Fang Ying was not in a hurry and hid in the dark corner of the second floor. He took out a bronze mirror to avoid the light and took a sneak peek.

I saw torches stuck on the wall of the tower on the first floor, and two monks holding shovels, standing chatting.

There was a large hole on the ground, and a wooden board with a copper ring was left aside.

Suddenly, there were constant sounds in the cave.

The two monks hurriedly stepped forward and saw several more monks emerge from the cave, dragging a monk who was tied up with an iron chain and hemp rope.

They looked anxious and shouted:

"Quickly, go and invite Uncle Xinjian!"

Fang Ying, who was peeping in secret, widened his eyes.

I saw that the monk, although tightly bound by the iron chains, was still twisting wildly.

What's even weirder is his body.

At the joints, strange bone spurs broke out of the skin, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole body was dripping with blood.

Not only did a pair of bone sharp horns grow on the forehead of the head, but the eyes also turned blood red and roared like a beast...
