It seemed that he didn't expect Qian Mu to ask such a question at all, and Miao Zhu was obviously stunned.
"Well, this well is very old. It was said before that the water quality was not very good, so the water company simply brought a pipe to the City God Temple, and naturally the well was abandoned.
Captain Qian, you also know that there are a lot of tourists coming and going in our City God's Temple, and there are also a lot of people with children. The adults are more talkative and will not deliberately wander to the mouth of the well, but the children are different. Children see When I got to the wellhead, I just wanted to come and play.
In order to prevent accidents from happening, I simply sealed the entrance of the well. This way, it is much safer and there is no need to worry about the safety of the children! "
When explaining the matter about the well, Miao Zhu was very serious, and all for safety reasons.
Although well water is useful, the safety of children is more important.
It seems like using tap water has wronged them!
Qian Mu was non-committal about the explanation given by the Temple Zhu. He did not say whether he believed it or not. He just looked at the Temple Zhu with a smile and said seemingly casually: "Don't say that the children are curious about the wellhead. Even I want to see the wellhead." What's it like inside?
Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen such an ancient well in reality! "
Qian Mu's words had reached this point. Although Miao Zhu still couldn't figure out what Qian Mu was going to do, he couldn't stop Qian Mu from walking towards the ancient well.
"Since Captain Qian hasn't seen it, we just wanted to take a look together. You know, it's you, Captain Qian, who is here. If someone else comes, I will refuse to come."
Following Qian Mu, Miao Zhu kept talking nonstop while looking around vigilantly.
"That's really my honor!"
You could hear the lightness in Qian Mu's words, but the look on his face was extremely solemn. It was just that Miao Zhu was walking behind him, so there was no way to see him.
On the path leading to the ancient well, there are some soot sprinkled on the soil at the edge. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
The old smoker has been here!
This was the first thought that came to Qian Mu's mind.
If the old smoker has been here, does it mean that he has actually seen the temple blessing? Or maybe the old smoker discovered something?
When we walked to the ancient well, it was indeed as Miao Zhu said. The wellhead was covered with a wooden board, and there was also a wooden warning board inserted next to it. The wellhead is dangerous, please do not approach!
It had not rained recently, and the path was not too muddy. There were not many traces. Qian Mu walked around the mouth of the well and happily said to Miao Zhu: "It turns out that the ancient well looks like this, and it doesn't look like this." Do you know if there is water down there?”
“We have not opened the well since we sealed it, and I don’t know if there is any water down there.
But, come to think of it, even if there was water, we wouldn’t use it! "
Miao Zhu smiled and said, "Captain Qian, it's very dangerous here. Let's leave first. Depending on the time, the fasting meal should be ready. We will walk over now, just in time to eat!"
Without saying much about the topic of Gujing, Miao Zhu mentioned fasting meals.
This time, Qian Mu did not refuse. After taking a deep look at the well mouth one last time, he followed Miao Zhu and walked out.
He did not stay in the Chenghuang Temple to eat the vegetarian meal. After Qian Mu answered a phone call, he explained to Miao Zhu with an apologetic expression that he had something urgent to do and left the Chenghuang Temple.
Sitting in the car, Qian Mucai took out his mobile phone and opened the text message.
Before, when he was standing at the mouth of the well, his mobile phone received a message from the old smoker.
"There is a problem with the temple blessing. I am under the ancient well and looking for Wang Gui!"
Qian Mu called the old smoker's mobile phone, but heard a notification tone that the other party was not in the service area.
If the old smoker is really under the ancient well, it is possible that there will be no signal on the mobile phone.
Qian Mu had no doubts about this.
Because he himself also found some clues at the entrance of the ancient well.
There were scattered soot at the wellhead, and the wooden board covering the wellhead.
According to Miao Zhu, the wooden plank should have been nailed directly to the wellhead. In fact, Qian Mu discovered that the wooden plank was just placed on top and could be easily removed.
Under such a premise, what kind of security can such a seal ensure?
The wooden board that has been placed on the wellhead for many years will never be of such a new color.
No matter from which point you look at it, it doesn't look like the mouth of this ancient well has always been sealed.
Besides, if it was really blocked, how did the old smoker get out?
In general, Miao Zhuzai did not tell the truth when facing Qian Mu.
Without wasting any time, Qian Mu called Wang Guilai, started the car, and headed towards the Lujiang River.
That's where the people from the polling bureau are staying.
"Hey, Captain Qian, is there anything going on with you and the old smoker?"
After receiving Qian Mu's call, Fatty frowned slightly before he asked.
After all, Qian Mu was working with the old smoker. If there were any problems, the old smoker should be the one to contact them, and not go around through Qian Mu.
What's more important is that ten minutes ago, Fatty called Old Smoker to ask him how things were going at the City God's Temple, but the call from Old Smoker couldn't be reached at all.
No, just when Fatty was about to try calling Qian Mu's number, Qian Mu's call came first.
"Captain Wang, something happened to the old smoker. He is now in the abandoned ancient well in the backyard of the Chenghuang Temple, and he said that there is a problem with the temple blessings here..."
After Fatty answered the phone, Qian Mu told them everything about their situation without hesitation, including that the old smoker first went to the temple to pray, but he disappeared, and after that, Qian Mu It was Miao Zhu who took the initiative to say hello.
The text message from the old smoker was received next to the ancient well, and Qian Mu was unable to contact the old smoker after that.
“Since the temple minister is blocking you, he naturally wants to hide some secrets.
In this way, Taoist Master Qingyun and I will rush over right now. You will wait for us there! "
After the fat man thought for a while, his eyes looked at Ma Xiaoling and others one by one, and finally landed on Taoist Priest Qingyun.
The reason why he was chosen to act together with Taoist Priest Qingyun was naturally due to Fatty's own plans.
The situation below the Lujiang River is unclear. The eldest sister went into the water again and has not come up until now. Wang Siqi and Wang Xiaodao, one is proficient in the art of Kanyu Feng Shui and the other is proficient in the art of Qimen Bagua, so naturally it is best to stay here. , after all calculations, it was the most suitable arrangement for Taoist Priest Qingyun and Fatty to go find the old smoker.
After hanging up the phone with Qian Miao and exchanging a few words with Wang Xiaodao and the others, Fatty left with Taoist Priest Qingyun.
——
City God's Temple, under the ancient well.
The old smoker was shot down without any defense.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and the faint golden light enveloped the old smoker's body, so that he was not injured when he was hit on the well wall.
Even so, he was still a little dizzy after falling suddenly.
With the sound of falling into the water, the old smoker was suddenly swallowed up by the well water.
A well water blocked the old smoker's breathing. He was not very good at water and struggled hard in the water.
Inexplicably, as he struggled, the old smoker quickly discovered that there seemed to be something under his feet that was constantly pulling on his feet, preventing him from emerging from the water.
The strange thing is that no matter how powerful the power below is, the old smoker does not feel any dangerous aura, as if this power has no ill intentions towards him.
Out of intuition, the old smoker closed his eyes and gave up the struggle.
Then, all of a sudden, he was pulled by a strong force and fell into a small space.
No longer feeling the flow of water, the old smoker opened his eyes and looked over. What he saw was a dense pile of white bones.
Suddenly seeing such a scene, he really couldn't help but shudder.
The space is not big, only about thirty or forty square meters. Most of the place is covered with bones, leaving only a small part of the place.
Because the bones are all piled up together, it is impossible to tell how many bones there are here. The old smoker cannot guess how many people died here.
Why does there still exist such a separated space in this well water?
"Grandpa, were you also brought down by that bad guy to die?"
Just when the old smoker was still thinking about this problem seriously, a childish voice rang out, which was particularly clear in this small space.
Following the sound, the old smoker saw a little girl in a red dress standing in the shadow of the corner. He could tell at a glance that this little girl was just a ghost.
With a frown on his face, the old smoker looked at the bone pile again. With so many bones, was there only the little girl as a ghost in the end?
Where did the other ghosts go?
You know, the entire Lujiang County has lost contact with the underworld, and it is impossible for dead ghosts to enter the underworld.
Here, there are many bones, but there is no trace of ghosts. Obviously those ghosts are gone, but where did they go?
How did this little girl stay?
At this time, the old smoker's mind was full of questions, and he couldn't understand what the situation in front of him was all about.
"Kid, why are you here? And who is the bad guy you are talking about?"
Trying to show a gentle smile, the old smoker squatted down, looked at the little girl seriously, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Grandpa, the bad guy is the kind-hearted old Miao Zhu above.
Others, in order to form this space and place the bones, exhausted all their strength and disappeared.
Nini is the youngest, and her parents, uncles, and aunts all asked Nini to wait here. They said that as long as Nini stays here, she will one day go out.
Grandpa, Nini is so tired. You were struggling in the water just now. Nini felt that you couldn't hold on anymore, so she pulled you in here. However, Nini doesn't know how long you can live here.
Outside, green light will come in and sweep through the water from time to time. The space in this place is constantly shrinking. Nini wants to find her parents, woo woo woo..."
The ghost had no tears. Even if it was extremely sad, there would only be sobs in its voice, but no tears would fall.
As soon as the little girl opened her mouth to speak, it was obvious that she was extremely stressed and very sad.
No, as the girl's mood became more and more sad, the whole space began to tremble, as if it would collapse in the next second.
In this small space with no one but bones, it is not easy for the little girl to persist until now.
The old smoker had no doubt that if those ghosts hadn't built this space, the little girl would have been out of her mind at this time.
"Nini, don't worry. Grandpa, I know magic, so I will definitely take Nini out. When the time comes, can grandpa send Nini to be reincarnated?"
Seeing the little girl's trembling appearance, the old smoker's heart softened. The ghost here had exhausted all his strength, just for the little girl to have a glimmer of hope. Now that he is here, he will definitely take the little girl out.
"Ooooooo, grandpa, we can't go out. The bad guy is afraid. If we can't beat him, we will all die. We all will die. Nini hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
After hearing what the old smoker said, Nini not only didn't feel hope, but on the contrary, she cried even harder.
Originally, her appearance was normal when she was alive. As she kept shouting that it hurt, she didn't know if she thought of something, but Nini's body was switching between normal and abnormal.
His body was covered in bruises, his clothes were torn, his small body was covered with traces of abuse, and there was almost no intact skin.
Seeing this, he was afraid that Nini would turn into a fierce ghost here, so the old smoker had to take action, golden light overflowed from his arms, and then he raised his hand to seal, guiding the golden light to fall on Nini's body.
Originally a ghost, the moment Nini was touched by the golden light, her figure returned to normal, but she also became a lot more transparent.
Fortunately, the old smoker took back the golden light, otherwise, in this golden light, Nini would have died first.
"Grandpa, what is this golden light of yours? Can you really defeat bad guys?
Mom, dad, uncles and aunts all took action together, but when they were hit by the green light, they all fell here.
This space is their last strength. Nini knows that they want to keep Nini alive, but Nini is in so much pain.
Nini is already dead.
Grandpa, if you can go out, please take these bones out, okay?
I think we can all be buried in peace..."
Who would have thought that a pleasant trip would eventually turn into a fatal trip?
Nini's eyes fell on the bones, where there were her parents and herself.
The corpses turned into bones and piled up here without seeing the light of day, leaving her as a ghost here gradually waiting for the final dissipation. For Nini, isn't it a kind of cruelty?
