Picking up the bullet shell on the ground, Xu Jianguo felt a little uneasy. It was obvious that a gunfight had broken out here. He just couldn't understand who would use hot weapons to deal with a group of monks.
Arriving at the second hall, Xu Jianguo looked up and found that the plaque above was still there. Although it was worn out, one could clearly see the three big characters "Jade Emperor Hall" written on it.
Entering the hall, Xu Jianguo found that the situation inside was similar to the first hall he had visited, except that the statue here was much larger than the one that had belonged to Wang Lingguan. The statue, altar, and incense burner were all knocked over. He looked at the statue on the ground and asked in his mind, "System, which deity is this statue?"
[Ding, this is the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor.]
"clear."
Looking at the completely destroyed statue before him, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Although you are the Jade Emperor, you are suppressed by Hongjun Laozu and Nuwa Niangniang above, and you receive orders from the Three Pure Ones below. Now, in this Taoist temple, even the statue has been destroyed. It's really tragic."
After looking around and finding no other clues, Xu Jianguo turned and left, walking towards the third hall at the back.
Standing in front of the third hall, Xu Jianguo saw a plaque thrown on the ground with the words "Sanqing Hall" written on it. He thought that the Three Pure Ones should be enshrined here.
As I walked into the hall, what caught my eye was pitch black. All the objects in the hall seemed to have been burned by fire, and the three tall statues of the Three Pure Ones had already been broken into pieces. It seemed that they had been blown up by explosives.
Bullet shells and explosives, what kind of hatred or grudge could lead to such a thing? Also, how did these people get to the top of the mountain? These questions gave Xu Jianguo a headache.
Xu Jianguo found a clean place to sit down and began to carefully recall everything that had happened since he met the old Taoist priest and Fu Niu. Suddenly, he found that he seemed to have overlooked something.
With a thought, Xu Jianguo took out two things from the space, one was the dagger that was stuck in Mingkong's body, and the other was the leather map.
He first picked up the dagger and examined it carefully. Since Xu Jianguo got the dagger, he had not studied it carefully. Now think about it, the posture Mingkong made before his death was definitely not simple. It was obvious that he wanted to tell the person who found him a deeper message, and this person was most likely the protector he mentioned, that is, Xu Jianguo.
The style of the dagger was very ordinary. The originally silver blade was stained with a thick layer of blood, appearing dark brown. The black handle was wrapped with a thin leather rope, which increased the friction and also provided a good grip.
After reading it over and over again, Xu Jianguo still didn't find any clues, so he prepared to open the Eye of Time and Space to look at it again.
The Eye of Time and Space opened, and Xu Jianguo's eyes scanned the dagger in his hand inch by inch like a radar.
Suddenly, Xu Jianguo found two things wrong. The first was on the handle of the knife. There were four cursive characters written on the wooden handle wrapped in a leather rope. The strokes were vigorous and powerful, and it was obvious that they were written by a famous artist. Moreover, they were not carved, but should have been hot-stamped on the handle later.
In his previous life, Xu Jianguo, in order to be able to make friends with some important figures and learn to be cultured, hired several teachers to teach him calligraphy. One of them was good at cursive script, so he recognized the words on the handle of the knife: Yu Rong Si Jun.
Although he didn't know the specific meaning of these words, Xu Jianguo was still very happy because he finally found some clues.
Xu Jianguo then looked at the second abnormal place. He found that the handle of the dagger was actually a hollow structure. There was a needle-like object only two centimeters long placed inside, and a little liquid could be vaguely seen.
Xu Jianguo guessed that this liquid might be a poison, because Mingkong said that he was attacked by a mysterious man. Then the person who attacked him was most likely a killer who came for the secret of Funniu, the spiritual child, and immortality. Since he was a killer, it would be understandable that he was equipped with poison.
However, these were all Xu Jianguo's guesses, and he had no intention of pulling out the needle and finding a living creature to test it, so he could only put the dagger away first.
Then, Xu Jianguo picked up the leather map again and opened the Eye of Time and Space to scan it again, but this time he didn't find anything wrong.
After putting the map away, Xu Jianguo looked at the dilapidated Sanqing Temple again. Originally, he wanted to bring Funiu with him to look for clues, but in its current state, he really didn't dare to bring the little girl here. He could only wait for a chance to restore the place to its original state in the future, or wait until Funiu grew up a little.
After looking at the sky outside, Xu Jianguo decided to go back to the camp first to avoid worrying Mr. Zhang and the others.
Flashing into the space, Xu Jianguo came to the Seven Star Teleportation Array. With a thought, he set up the Sanqing Temple as the fourth directional teleportation point. After the setting was completed, the Tianquan star position was lit up, flashing with a faint light.
After feeding Xiao Hei some dog food, he went to the space farm to take a look and found that the number of poultry and livestock on the farm was somewhat astonishing. He quickly adjusted the time flow rate in the breeding area to normal speed, took a large piece of pork from the warehouse, and gave twenty eggs to Gu Mingqi and others as a reward for their work during this period. The five people who had not eaten meat for a long time thanked him repeatedly, and then went back happily with the things.
Xu Jianguo came to the main room and put his hand on the handle of the space portal, thinking of the red pine forest in his heart. Then he pushed the door open and walked in. With a flash of white light, when he opened his eyes again, he was already standing not far from the red pine forest.
