In fact, I am quite happy about this answer from the bottom of my heart, because it represents a collision between one field and another, and it seems that good changes have taken place.
I breathed in the outdoor air, which seemed to be fresh for no reason. The cat demon incident seemed to be a small episode, but I always felt that this was not such a simple murder case, and the culprit behind the scenes must not be simple.
But that’s another story!
Standing outside the door, Chen Yaojie asked: "Where is Mr. Lin going next? I can see you off!"
I chuckled and shook my head: "I'm going to Mount Tai next, but there's no need to send me there. Officer Chen is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you. Besides, I can take this opportunity to experience the great mountains and rivers of my motherland!"
Chen Yaojie didn't show any pretense. After hearing my words, he nodded: "Okay, let's say goodbye here!"
After a simple farewell, I was just about to leave when Chen Yaojie stopped me: "By the way, Mr. Lin, I'll give this to you. You can open it and take a look on the way."
I was confused for a while and found that he handed me an envelope, which was stuck with glue. I took it and weighed it. It was not heavy, so I couldn't guess what it was.
So I had no choice but to take it, say goodbye again, and officially embarked on the journey up the mountain.
I have to say that after recovering from this serious illness, walking alone feels quite good, but it is contaminated by the smell of industry. Under the steel forest, the air in nature seems to have lost its original innocence.
On the way, I also opened the envelope that Chen Yaojie gave me, knocked it out gently, and the contents fell out.
It didn't matter what I saw. I was shocked. There was actually a wad of money inside, sealed with wrapping paper.
After a rough count, it turned out to be several thousand yuan. Why did he give me the money?
Then at the end of the envelope, there is a small sign and a note.
I was happy when I saw this small sign. It said "Special Advisor of Tai'an City Public Security Bureau" in small words.
That's right, it was the brand that Chen Yaojie used to pretend to be a consultant at that time. I didn't expect that he would give it to me.
It made me smile bitterly, and then I opened the note with the words written on it.
"Mr. Lin, although the money is not much, this is a reward from the police in recognition of your support for our work. Please accept it. Also, this idea came from Xiao Li. She has always had a strong ability to read people, so guess I’m sure you won’t want it, so I used this method. As for the work badge, I gave it to you as a testimony of our friendly cooperation! Finally, I look forward to meeting you again! - Chen Yaojie.”
Looking at this note, I laughed again, still doing this old-fashioned way of just giving it to me, and fearing that I wouldn’t want it, and if I had money, I wouldn’t want it, unless I was a fool.
With a long sigh, I stuffed the money and the letter into my bag.
I always feel that this letter and this work badge will be of great use in the future!
After putting everything away, I set foot on the road up the mountain again. I have to say that going up the mountain was quite tiring. After walking for a while, I wanted to sit down and take a rest.
Maybe it was because I wasn't in a hurry, so I walked leisurely, but slowly, I realized that something didn't seem right.
Because at the beginning, there were quite a lot of people, but as I walked, I found that there were fewer and fewer people around me, and I didn’t know where I was, and I couldn’t even see anyone!
I'm a little speechless about myself. I'm pretty good at following the crowd and getting lost.
Although Mount Tai is the first of the five mountains in our country, with the power of holding up the sky and holding the moon, and towering over the sky and the earth, there are many people in places where there are people, and there are really no people in places where there are no people!
I was walking alone on this rural path, surrounded by shrubs, and some larger trees blocked the afterglow of the sun, making the entire path look eerie.
This seems not to be a road for people to walk, but more like a narrow road leading to the netherworld.
Even with my current courage, fear sprouted up at a certain moment, and goosebumps appeared on my body for no reason!
Otherwise, go back?
Yes, it’s such a happy decision!
Just when I was about to turn around, a corner of the shadow suddenly caught my eye!
I couldn't help but squint my eyes and move forward hard!
When I got a little closer, I noticed that there seemed to be a building in front of me!
The corner that caught my eye just now seems to be an edge of this building, which penetrated the dense woods and was just revealed!
what?
Driven by curiosity, I had to move forward again!
But the road ahead was getting harder and harder to walk. It was almost covered with vegetation and there were some deep places, so I had to take out my Tai'a sword and slash it a few times before I could pass.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. If I picked up a relatively straight stick, I would be sorry, but wherever I looked, there would be no grass at all!
The pace is getting deeper and deeper, and I am almost certain that there is indeed a building inside.
As the sun set a little bit, I finally arrived in front of this building.
This seems... to be an ancestral hall?
It is said to be an ancestral hall, but in a broad sense, it is more like a temple. Putting aside everything, it does have what a temple should have, four red painted doors, and an offering table in the middle. But because It has been in disrepair and is dilapidated!
But you can still see the footprints of people who have been here before, but no incense was left behind. It is probably because they saw that the place was in a state of dilapidation, and they lost the capital to worship!
Standing outside the door, I bowed three times in the direction of the door, and then slowly stepped into the temple.
Entering the temple, you can clearly see a clay sculpture placed on the altar, but only half of it is left. It is filled with straw, and it looks a bit miserable.
As I moved my gaze upward, I was able to determine who was once worshiped in this temple!
The righteous god of the three mountains of Mount Tai, Lord Bingling! !
