Chapter 104 With the Bodhisattva's Qilin Child
As Chen Zhenzhu got out of the Cherokee, Xiaobai followed behind, learning how to conduct investigations and visits. Since it was inconvenient for Xiaobai to carry Zhenzhu's thermos, he put a bottle of mineral water in his pocket.
The rain was light, so they inquired at a hardware store near the roundabout.
"These days, unless you're a carpenter, who would want to buy a saw? I had two left over from two years ago that I still haven't sold." The hardware store owner sat at the door smoking, casually stubbing out his cigarette in a flowerpot.
Chen Zhenzhu glanced into the small, dark hardware store and asked the owner, "Can I take a look at the saw?"
The boss shouted, "Find the saw and show it to them!" As he spoke, he looked at Chen Zhenzhu and Xiaobai with suspicion, and seeing that they were both wearing black and green raincoats, he finally remembered to ask, "What do you do?"
Shen Zhenzhu took out her ID to show him.
The boss glanced at Chen Zhenzhu's face, but unfortunately, it was obscured by her rain hat, so he couldn't see her face clearly.
"So you're police officers." The boss was a little surprised.
Upon hearing this, the proprietress took out a hacksaw and spread it out on the rattan wooden table at the entrance, saying, "These are the two I have."
Shen Zhenzhu looked down and saw that the saw teeth were thin and not sharp enough to saw off a person's head, and it was different from the hand saw in the Heavenly Eye Retrospection.
Xiao Bai was interested and observed it carefully, even drawing a rough outline in his notebook.
After thanking them, the two were about to leave when the shop owner suddenly called them back and said, "We haven't sold any hacksaws, but we have spotted some suspicious individuals."
Chen Zhenzhu stopped and turned around to ask, "What kind?"
Xiao Bai hurriedly asked, "Boss, please think it over carefully."
The boss pointed to the roundabout ahead and said, "Yesterday evening, a car was going around and around this roundabout. Judging from the license plate, it was from out of town. I clearly saw that there were quite a few men and women inside."
Xiao Bai quickly jotted it down in her notebook, then heard Chen Zhenzhu ask, "Why do you think they're suspicious?"
The boss slapped his thigh and said, "That car kept circling around this roundabout, like it was scouting the area. A big, burly young man got out of the car, looking like a thug, and he even tried to grab some girls in the alley."
Chen Zhenzhu frowned, feeling that the question sounded somewhat familiar: "Where are the others?"
Xiao Bai also stopped writing and looked at the boss.
The boss thought for a moment and said, "There were two young girls on the bus. One was facing that way, so I couldn't see her, but I could see the other one facing this way. She was in her early twenties, with a round face. This group of people is really suspicious—"
"Wait a minute." Xiao Bai stopped the boss, slowly lifted her rain hat, pointed to her face, and said, "Do you think her face is rounder or mine?"
Boss: "...First, they're both round."
He got caught red-handed gossiping about others behind their backs.
Chen Zhenzhu suppressed a laugh, searched around the roundabout, and returned to the Cherokee.
Gu Yanzheng saw Xiaobai frantically biting into a popsicle and asked in confusion, "Did you buy it?" He hadn't seen any stores around here.
"It was given to me by the hardware store owner," Chen Zhenzhu said gleefully. "Compensation for emotional distress."
Lu Ye burst into laughter on the side, and even rolled down the window to wave goodbye to the boss.
Gu Yanzheng was about to drive when his cell phone rang. After answering and exchanging a few words, he hung up: "Qiaoqiao's identity information has been found."
Chen Zhenzhu asked in surprise, "Found it? How did you find it?"
“The police station actually has a computer. I had someone send Qiaoqiao’s information back to the city bureau,” Gu Yanzheng said. “On Wednesday, someone reported a missing person at the Liancheng Hongqi Road Police Station. The family claimed that four women had gone missing while traveling in Liancheng from the neighboring Wufeng City. One of them was named Wu Miao, nicknamed Qiaoqiao. She went missing at the same time as her sister Wu Xuan and two other women. I asked about their physical characteristics, and they should not be the same person as the headless female corpse.”
"Three of them have disappeared at once?" Lu Ye said. "How did they end up in such a remote corner?"
Shen Zhenzhu said, "I'm afraid it's because of the Bodhisattva who sent the Qilin away."
Gu Yanzheng glanced at Shen Zhenzhu with appreciation and said, "That's right. Qiaoqiao's older sister has been married for four years without having children. Her trip to the city is probably just a pretext. Her destination is likely the Songlin Bodhisattva Temple. She may be worried about being gossiped about by those around her, so she's deliberately concealing her whereabouts under the guise of tourism."
"So the police station here doesn't have any missing persons registrations." Xiaobai nodded and said, "Then where did Qiaoqiao's sister and the other two people go?"
"I don't know." Through the car window, Shen Zhenzhu saw dark clouds covering the top of Qilin Mountain: "The temple probably doesn't enshrine a Bodhisattva, but an evil spirit."
These words terrified Xiaobai.
Gu Yanzheng said, "I was just thinking of going up the mountain to take a look. I searched around the foot of the mountain but found no clues. I should go to the temple on the mountain to ask the monks for information."
Shen Zhenzhu also wanted to visit the temple. When she went to the cave today, she discovered that there were many winding paths in the mountains, making it very difficult to catch the monk who committed the murder.
Moreover, in the Heavenly Eye's retrospective, the monk also said, "This place is no longer safe to stay in."
She became increasingly anxious, but without crucial evidence to identify the suspect, she could not make an arrest. For now, she could only try to find any clues during questioning.
When I arrived at the foot of Qilin Mountain, I was very grateful to see the police officers from the local police station patrolling even in the heavy rain.
"I'll take Xiaobai over there to ask." Lu Ye picked up Xiaobai, who wanted to follow him up the mountain, and said to her, "Don't stick to Sister Pearl all the time. Let's split up and conserve police resources, understand?"
"Oh." Little White reluctantly watched Chen Zhenzhu go up the mountain.
They searched the area at the foot of the mountain, and when Shen Zhenzhu and Gu Yanzheng came down in the dark, their faces were not pleasant.
Chen Zhenzhu's sneakers were covered in mud, and her trouser legs were soaked.
They arrived at the duty room at Qilin Mountain, took off their raincoats, and stuffed them into the bucket at the door.
Gu Yanzheng's situation was similar to Shen Zhenzhu's. He took the towel and handed it to Shen Zhenzhu first, then took one for himself and wiped himself, saying, "We can't get in. They said they need to prepare for the Dharma assembly three days later, and we're not allowed to enter without an invitation."
"What? Didn't they see the identification?" Xiaobai asked.
“I was talking through the door, but they weren’t cooperating at all,” Shen Zhenzhu said helplessly. “It was just a door-to-door investigation; without a search warrant, I couldn’t force them to open the door.”
"Now that you mention it, I feel like the temple is even more eerie," Lu Ye said, rubbing his arms and walking to the table to open a pack of instant noodles. "It's too much of a hassle to solve cases when we're in an unfamiliar place."
Gu Yanzheng said, "It used to be just as difficult."
Lu Ye smiled at Shen Zhenzhu, rubbed his short stubble, and said, "That's true. The cases have been solved too smoothly these past two years, and Section Chief Shen has spoiled our appetites."
Chen Zhenzhu puffed out her chest: "He's a section chief, still fresh in everyone's knowledge."
Lu Ye joked, "Only the boss can match your promotion speed. I'm so envious, Section Chief Shen. Please give us a helping hand in the future."
Shen Zhenzhu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Section Chief Shen, I will definitely give you a good run for your part."
A police officer carrying a thermos came knocking on the door. Chen Zhenzhu invited her in and took the opportunity to inquire about the Dharma assembly: "I heard there's a Dharma assembly in three days. Will the abbot show up then?"
The other person looked like an ordinary middle-aged woman, speaking in a loud and clear voice: "Of course, I heard that the temple held a Dharma assembly last year and received six figures in donations. Monks are also human beings, and even human beings have to bow down for a living."
At this point, she said with a straight face, "They're clearly monks, but they've made a scene more lively than celebrities. Last year, we even invited colleagues from the police stations in the surrounding counties to help maintain order."
"Big sister, sit here." Chen Zhenzhu quite liked this older sister and pulled her to slurp instant noodles together, asking, "Was it donated by one person or many people? Have you met the abbot?"
"I haven't seen it myself, but I've seen many people donating money. Five or ten yuan isn't much; it's all in the thousands or tens of thousands." The older woman is a staunch Party member, and she particularly disapproves of the way the monks in the temple are making money, saying, "What kind of faith is this?"
After finishing her instant noodles and venting her frustrations, the woman picked up the trash and left.
Chen Zhenzhu sat in the duty room, trying to figure out how to get into the temple to investigate.
Gu Yanzheng said unexpectedly, "This temple is very problematic. There's this 'Bodhisattva Who Sends Off the Unicorn' who appeared out of nowhere, and the abbot is hiding it and doesn't dare to show his face. He might be a fugitive."
Shen Zhenzhu's destination was also the temple. She sat up and said, "I heard from Zhang Yiming that those with money can go in and worship, while those without money have to stand in the rain at the entrance. The worshippers are divided into different classes, and they have to come on the first and fifteenth of the lunar month to give money. If the abbot is in a good mood, he will see them; if he is in a bad mood, he will not see them at all."
Xiao Bai chimed in, "The more I look at it, the more problematic it seems. Zhang Yiming even said the abbot is somewhat handsome. I wonder, even if he's handsome, could he possibly be—"
She was about to talk about Gu Yanzheng, but when she saw the way Gu Yanzheng was looking at her, she changed the subject and said, "Is he as handsome as Andy Lau?"
Gu Yanzheng decided to flag down a bus as soon as he got on the highway and pack her up to take her back to the provincial capital.
“It’s 9 p.m. now. I’ll check it out around midnight.” Gu Yanzheng said to Chen Zhenzhu’s surprise, “We can’t just hide it.”
Shen Zhenzhu also wanted to go to the temple to check the situation. If she found a human head or a hand saw, wouldn't that solve the case on the spot?
She volunteered, saying, "Brother Zheng, I want to come up the mountain with you."
Gu Yanzheng thought that she had already gone up there once today, and the mountain road would be even more difficult to travel at midnight, with the possibility of heavy rain and snakes and rats. However, seeing the determination in Shen Zhenzhu's eyes, he relented: "Alright, remember to check your weapons after you rest."
“Yes!” Shen Zhenzhu said.
Since they were going to investigate this place thoroughly, Lu Ye first called Zhao Qiqi. Zhao Qiqi said with deep resentment, "You guys solve the case. Qiaoqiao has Zhang Yiming's help, so don't worry about me."
Lu Ye chuckled and said, "What's there to worry about? Qiaoqiao's mom will be coming to pick her up later, so you'd better take good care of her."
Qiaoqiao, clutching the old mobile phone Chen Zhenzhu had left behind, said, "Sister, sister, don't hide anymore, we've come to find you, go home quickly."
Shen Zhenzhu followed up on her words: "Do you know where I'm hiding?"
"Mountain, mountain!" Qiaoqiao was pacing anxiously on the other end, shouting, "I, I want to save my sister, sister, sister!"
Mountain?
Qiaoqiao's language and logic had improved somewhat, and Chen Zhenzhu pondered the meaning behind her words.
Zhao Qiqi called out, "I'm hanging up now, I need to give her her medicine!"
Shen Zhenzhu frowned: "She mentioned 'mountain,' and the temple is on the mountain. Is her sister hiding in the temple?"
Lu Ye found it terrifying: "It's possible to get lost on the mountain, which is at least 300 meters above sea level."
Shen Zhenzhu said, "She reacted very strongly to the word 'abbot' and went completely crazy in Zhang Yiming's room. She kept asking to find her sister and save her sister, and even said that her sister was playing hide-and-seek. I suspect that her sisters are either hiding in the temple or being held hostage."
"Let's go up and take a look tonight." Gu Yanzheng also sat down on a chair by the wall with a frown, pondering Chen Zhenzhu's words. After thinking it over and over, he also felt that there was a high probability of it.
Wuxian County, built against Qilin Mountain, is not large in area, and has only seen an increase in tourists in the last two years.
If they had freedom of movement, they would definitely call the police if they encountered danger. But they didn't. The younger sister went insane with fear, and the older sisters were likely in danger and would lose their freedom.
The only place that is suspicious is the Temple of the Bodhisattva Who Sends Off the Qilin.
He went up there and saw that the monks inside had no trace of the demeanor of monks; they were burly and looked more like butchers.
Shen Zhenzhu dozed off for a while in the duty room.
At one o'clock in the morning, Gu Yanzheng woke her up: "Wash your face, let's go up the mountain."
Chen Zhenzhu dampened her handkerchief and wiped her face, the cool touch immediately waking her up.
“This is the perfect time. Any later and the monks would have to get up for their morning prayers.” Shen Zhenzhu saw Xiaobai and Lu Ye fast asleep on the sofa and walked out of the duty room with Gu Yanzheng.
I happened to see that woman patrolling outside, so I greeted her and went up to her.
Shen Zhenzhu and Gu Yanzheng were fast and had good stamina, so they didn't need to perform the three bows and nine prostrations. It took them about an hour to reach the temple gate.
The fat monk who used to bully everyone at the temple gate during the day is gone; you can see a lock stuck in the door through the crack.
Shen Zhenzhu followed behind Gu Yanzheng, circling along the wall. Gu Yanzheng was clearly more experienced at climbing over walls. He chose a secluded corner, bent his legs and patted them. Shen Zhenzhu stepped on his thighs without hesitation, climbed over the wall with both hands, and with a little effort, she was already squatting on it.
Gu Yanzheng took two steps back to get a running start. The two-and-a-half-meter-high wall was child's play for him. He pushed off the wall with one foot, raised his arms, and was up there.
The two squatted on the wall for a while, making sure there was no sound nearby, before slowly sliding down under the cover of night.
"The inner sanctuary is locked, we can't get in." Shen Zhenzhu, bent over without a raincoat, was sheltering from the rain behind the archway at the end of the corridor. She whispered in Gu Yanzheng's ear, "I feel something's up."
Gu Yanzheng pointed to the north: "There are people over there, let's go listen."
This was the first time Chen Zhenzhu had ever done something like scaling walls and rooftops, and her heart was pounding. Fortunately, Gu Yanzheng was by her side to help her climb over the wall, allowing her to move with ease.
The Songlin Bodhisattva Temple is not large. The outer hall enshrines Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin on the left and right sides, and the God of Wealth is enshrined in the front.
There is a connecting corridor and archway on one side, allowing the monks to move freely in the corridor even in the rain. However, the inner hall above the steps has its doors tightly closed and locked, with only a faint light flashing by, and no one was seen entering or leaving.
Instead of going through the connecting corridor, they crouched down and sneaked in quietly from outside.
They followed the clanging sound into the large meditation room, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and a pungent smell of smoke and alcohol wafted out.
"I'm going to take a piss, you guys wait for me to come back and drink it." The swaying fat monk, his mouth greasy, didn't notice that Shen Zhenzhu and Gu Yanzheng were hiding in the darkness just inches away, as he went into the toilet.
Shen Zhenzhu quickly crossed the connecting corridor, went around to the back wall of the large meditation room, squatted down, and clutched her chest.
Gu Yanzheng arrived immediately. He glanced at the inner hall separated by a wall, where the light from broken glass shimmered on the wall. He knew they probably wouldn't make it through the night.
They cautiously peered through the door. The monks, drinking and eating meat, were playing drinking games with each other. A dozen or so monks didn't need a round table; they sat on the ground, the wine bottles clattering on the floor, but that didn't stop them from enjoying the chicken, duck, fish, and meat in front of them.
There are still brand-new scriptures on the bookshelves in the large meditation room, and Buddhist verses hanging on the wall: "Be content with little and take the precepts as your teacher."
The sound of drinking games almost lifted the roof off, clearly showing that the rules and regulations were meaningless to these monks; they were content with what they had and enjoyed a good meal.
The long wooden fish was tossed aside in a corner, a stark irony for a Buddhist sanctuary.
"Dong dong dong dong dong".
A knocking sound came through the wall, and Shen Zhenzhu listened carefully and thought it sounded like the dull, crisp sound of striking a long wooden fish.
She had heard the same voice in her clairvoyance, and now she wondered in a daze, could there really be a monk in the inner hall who could chant sutras?
Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, signaling another downpour, quickly drowning out the banging sounds.
The fat monk who had been urinating returned, cursed the heavens, and then closed the door to the large meditation room.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Gu Yanzheng vaguely saw Shen Zhenzhu shivering slightly in the rain. He reached out and touched the back of her hand, which was ice-cold.
Shen Zhenzhu nodded and followed Gu Yanzheng through the rain, searching for the place they had come from.
At this moment, Shen Zhenzhu saw a room with lights on across the corridor not far away, and she noticed two figures inside.
Shen Zhenzhu tugged at Gu Yanzheng's clothes and pointed over there.
Gu Yanzheng stood by the wall, observing carefully for a moment, then nodded. Chen Zhenzhu darted across the connecting corridor, her figure quickly disappearing from Gu Yanzheng's sight.
Gu Yanzheng arrived quickly afterward, and the two of them held their breath and pressed themselves against the wall, listening to the conversation inside the window.
The woman, her voice hoarse from crying, said in a broken voice, "Master, you're right. People should think more about themselves. My in-laws have treated me terribly; last time they forced me to take sleeping pills! It's not that I don't want the child; I went for a checkup and everything was fine. I suspect it's him, but he won't go, saying he's definitely not the problem!"
“They don’t care about your life or your reputation. You’re going to suffer in their home, but in the end, they can find any excuse to kick you out.” The old monk coaxed, “What have you thought about what I told you last time? It’s for your own good.”
The woman seemed to be covering her face, and said in a muffled voice, "I...I haven't thought it through yet. This is too big of a deal, I'm afraid I'll mess it up—"
The old monk smiled kindly and said, "A monk doesn't lie. Everything I'm doing is to protect you. You come from a poor background, have no job, and your husband's family bullies you. What else can you do but rely on your son to gain status? Didn't you come here wanting a son?"
"But... but this might not actually result in having a son."
"So what if you have a daughter? You can keep having more." The old monk coaxed in a low voice, "He's the abbot of our monastery. Money flows in every day. If things come to light, he'll be able to support you and the children. Besides, he's much more handsome and capable than your husband. What's there to be dissatisfied about?"
The woman's voice suddenly turned shy, and after a few seconds she said with difficulty, "I am satisfied... but... but I dare not."
Seeing that she was still hesitant, the old monk continued, "You're not the only one like this. The abbot has already had six people with affinity, and you are the seventh. He also used this method to open a channel between you and the Bodhisattva who sends off the Qilin. He has great perfection, otherwise how could he persuade the Bodhisattva to give you a child? Remember, the abbot is only helping you ask the Bodhisattva to fulfill your wish, but the child is a Qilin child born from you and the Bodhisattva."
"Bodhisattva...what do you expect me to do in return?" The woman's tone softened. Perhaps all she needed was an excuse to embolden her to break free from her predicament and succumb to the allure of morality.
The old monk smiled and said, "I don't ask for anything in return. After the child is born, bring it up the mountain and have the Qilin cub kneel and worship the Qilin Bodhisattva."
"I... I'll give you an answer tomorrow. I'm leaving now."
"You'd better hurry, the abbot needs to select more loyal believers to help at the Dharma assembly. Once they've been selected, you won't have another chance."
"Okay...I'll think about it carefully."
The woman bid farewell to the old monk, and as she pushed open the door, Shen Zhenzhu and Gu Yanzheng quickly jumped over the wall and quietly left without a trace.
......
Self-built house, six o'clock in the morning.
"Abbot? That's an old duck!"
The Chenzhu sneakers were completely ruined, and he was sitting barefoot on the chair with his hair still wet from the shower.
"So that means the abbot helped six people get pregnant?" Lu Ye and the others were utterly astonished. There are many strange things in the world, but they never expected so many.
Chen Zhenzhu pouted and said, "There will be more. It is said that more people will be selected at the Dharma Assembly."
Zhao Qiqi couldn't help but say, "This is like selecting a concubine! They want wives from rich men and don't want wives from poor men. What are they thinking?"
"Over there..." Xiaobai glanced suspiciously at the pregnant woman's room across the street.
Shen Zhenzhu belatedly slapped her thigh and said, "No wonder she comforted Zhang Yiming yesterday by saying, 'Why punish yourself for others? Think positively and everything will be alright.'"
Gu Yanzheng was also thoroughly drenched in dog blood, and muttered, "They really have a very open mind."
Shen Zhenzhu said, "So due to personal circumstances, at least six women chose to have children with the abbot. And that's why they try to hide the truth about the Songlin Bodhisattva Temple."
Zhao Qiqi sighed and said, "People only see them getting pregnant and giving birth, and they think the bodhisattvas in the temple are very efficacious. The word spreads quickly. Some women who get pregnant on their own come to worship and attribute it to the bodhisattvas. It's all about herd mentality."
Shen Zhenzhu sighed softly, too embarrassed to admit that her original expectations were much worse than this.
That makes sense, since there's only one abbot, and he doesn't have enough energy.
As an unmarried young man, Lu Ye, surrounded by model marriages like Wu Zhongguo and Li Ying, asked in bewilderment, "Why do they do this?"
"That's because their in-laws treat them badly; otherwise, who would want to be like this?" Xiaobai, though unmarried, is full of resentment towards marriage.
"I really don't understand why girls who have lived happily in their own homes for over twenty years have to be forced to integrate into someone else's family after getting married. Look at them, they're treated like baby-making machines from the very beginning. If they can't have children, they're treated like trash, beaten and scolded at will, and the blame is always placed on the woman, regardless of whether it's the man's or the woman's fault. There are quite a few news reports of women being driven to suicide by their in-laws!"
Gu Yanzheng was worried that if Xiaobai came over, he would become a historical problem like himself, and he couldn't bear the consequences if Director Zhou came looking for him again.
Zhao Qiqi foolishly walked right into the line of fire: "That Wang Kuan was actually quite good to Zhang Yiming."
"Wang Kuan is a piece of cake! Zhang Yiming underwent all sorts of tests and was even threatened by his mother to poison the whole family, yet he got away scot-free. He just hugged his wife and said a few sweet words, and he thinks he's absolved of responsibility? If the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is bad, the first thing to do is for the man to be useless!" Xiaobai said angrily.
Shen Zhenzhu thought about it and agreed: "Yes, although this is a bit of a tangent, I also think that a very important aspect of the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship is the husband's role in mediating the conflict."
Xiao Bai leaned on Chen Zhenzhu's shoulder: "Sister Zhenzhu, you understand me the most. I don't want to get married anymore. I want to live with you from now on."
Shen Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Okay."
Gu Yanzheng just wants to send Xiaobai onto the highway back to his happy hometown.
“The inner palace is always locked. If they are really imprisoned, then Wu Xuan and the others are very likely to be locked up in the inner palace.” Gu Yanzheng changed the subject again, tugging at the table.
“It seems those drunken monks are just a cover. The real culprits are the old monk and the abbot.” Chen Zhenzhu was almost certain that the inner hall where the Bodhisattva Songlin was located was the crime scene. She agreed and said, “We have to find a way in. We can’t let him hurt them.”
Zhao Qiqi said stupidly, "Boss, can't you issue a search warrant?"
Gu Yanzheng laughed in exasperation: "Why not forge one?"
Zhao Qiqi said, "Really? Let's not delay."
Gu Yanzheng said, "We'll arrest you first for forgery."
Zhao Qiqi fell silent again.
“The Dharma assembly.” Shen Zhenzhu suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling, and said, “We can take advantage of the Dharma assembly the day after tomorrow to sneak in openly, or better yet, disrupt the assembly so that the fake monks can’t do whatever they want.”
Lu Ye waved his hand and said, "You missed a word. It's called a 'fighting ceremony.' Have you ever seen a fighting ceremony on TV? You have to win the fight before you can be a guest."
Chen Zhenzhu slumped her shoulders again, as if she had been wronged.
Gu Yanzheng was about to tell everyone to rest first and continue the meeting later.
Chen Zhenzhu suddenly stood up again: "Brother Zheng, did you mean there are computers in this police station?"
Gu Yanzheng said, "Yes, it was distributed to grassroots units for learning purposes. It contains some basic information and can also be connected to the internet."
Chen Zhenzhu rubbed her hands together and said, "We can check the household registration!"
Gu Yanzheng paused for a moment, then immediately smiled: "That's a good idea."
Lu Ye and the others still didn't understand, but Shen Zhenzhu said slyly, "Let's have a magic duel, let's see if their Buddhist teachings are more powerful, or if our magic net is more powerful!"
