Demon Book Strange

Chapter 20: Dance of Crows

In the main church of the Anglican Church, under the statue of the Virgin Mary, the blond-haired and golden-eyed priest opened his eyes.He closes the Nicene Creed and walks out of the church in a certain direction.

"Hey! Wait I—"

When Dongfang Mao chased the group of crows across the tram tracks, it was almost knocked down by the "Dangdang" approaching tram.When the tram passed by, You Wen made an appointment to cross the road, and found that the kitten was missing.He looked up at the flying crow and chased after it.

You Wenyue decided that after catching the kitten, he would beat him up, and the crows would all be driven out of You's house.

"Quack quack -" the crows danced.

When Dongfang Mao caught up with the crows, he saw them hovering over Higashi Honganji.

When You Wenyue rushed over, he happened to see Dongfang Mao jumping up the wall, and then stepped onto the roof of the temple to catch crows.In order to prevent the little cat from getting into bigger troubles, he quickly stepped up to the wall several times to catch people.

"Little cat—"

Dongfang Mao turned its head, showing a cat face to look at the angry second brother, and secretly screamed inwardly.

"Quack quack -" the crow screamed wildly.

"Whoosh—" an arrow shot at the Oriental Cat.

"Be careful—" You Wenyue shoveled a shovel, and a piece of tile flew out and hit the arrow that was aimed at Dongfang Mao.The Oriental Cat looked down from the top of the hall and saw a blind man with patterns painted on his forehead, which looked like eyes.The blind man was a young girl. She carried a quiver on her back, and she drew out three more arrows and aimed at the oriental cat.Dongfang Mao turned over and jumped down from the roof of the hall, jumping in front of the girl, the girl quickly aimed at Dongfang Mao's forehead, and Dongfang Mao raised her hand: "Miss, be merciful!"

The girl shouted: "Who are you! Why did you break into Higashi Honganji Temple!"

You Wenyue jumped from the top of the temple and grabbed Dongfang Mao: "Sorry, we went to the wrong place." After finishing speaking, he wanted to carry him away.

The girl pointed arrows at them.

You Wenyue had to admire the other party's hearing and sensitivity.Even though he is blind, he can reach out with such agility. This cannot be achieved overnight.

He glanced at the master hall in the temple, and he paused.

The arrow in the girl's hand was tense, and she approached again, and the Japanese monk who saw the situation outside was coming out from inside.

You Wenyue had no choice but to leave Higashi Honganji with the kitten.

At a teahouse nearby, the person who was watching the Higashi Honganji smiled when he saw the two leaving, and added another cup of tea.

Walking out of Higashi Honganji Temple, You Wenyue put down the kitten: "There is a clue."

Oriental Cat doesn't understand.

You Wenyue turned to face the Higashi Hongan Temple: "The mural colors and painting techniques of this temple were painted by puppet painters."

Dongfang Cat was surprised: "So, the little pig is inside."

You Wenyue thought for a moment, and said, "Go and find Chen Jinsheng." The longer Xiaozhu's disappearance dragged on, the more her life was in danger.

The East Hongan Temple was built by the Japanese for Japanese overseas Chinese.

In this place of Shanghai, expatriates from all over the world gather here, and different religions have arisen because of this. Religious temples and temples, large and small, are scattered in the concession.Some of these religions have established hospitals and schools.

Japanese overseas Chinese have their own circles, some purely immigrated to live in Shanghai, some came here for business, and some came here for political activities.Japanese overseas Chinese are reluctant to have too much contact with Chinese, but not all Japanese are like this.

For example, people who only do it for business interests.

You Wen made an appointment to find Chen Jinsheng at Jardine Matheson, with the purpose of inquiring about the Higashi Honganji Temple.But when he arrived, he was told that he had gone to the New World Playground.Thinking of Chen Jinsheng looking for his elder brother, they had no choice but to go back to the playground.

Along the way, thinking of Chen Jinsheng's feelings for his eldest brother, You Wenyue felt extremely uncomfortable.In Shanghai Beach, there are many famous ladies and ladies who hang out with him, so why did he just fall in love with the elder brother?He couldn't figure this out.

Back at the New World Playground, seeing his elder brother and Chen Jinsheng drinking tea happily, You Wenyue breathed a sigh of relief.Not daring to approach anyone, he called out, "Brother, Mr. Chen."

You Wensheng put down his tea: "The news of Xiaozhu's disappearance has begun."

You Wenyue looked away and said, "My kitty and I saw a mural in Higashi Honganji Temple, and that mural was probably made by a puppet painter."

Chen Jinsheng looked at him contemptuously and said: "I think this matter is still caused by you. If you didn't always investigate those messy cases, you wouldn't bring disasters into your family."

The oriental cat stretches its teeth and claws.

Holding the little cat down, You Wenyue Quan pretended not to hear the other party's sarcasm, and said with a smile: "What Mr. Chen said is true, but whoever dares to hurt the little pig will be repaid ten times." His eyes In the depths, a bloody red light flashed.

The oriental cat licked its mouth, full of fighting spirit.

You Wensheng smiled.

Chen Jinsheng taunted: "Just cause trouble for the questioning."

Jingrun investigated the person behind the portrait, and Chen Jinsheng, who dealt with the Japanese, gave an important clue.Afterwards, Jing Run disguised himself as a Japanese overseas Chinese to confirm, and finally locked on the Higashi Honganji Temple, which was full of crows, and then sent Xiao Baylor to monitor at the scene.Hearing this, Dongfang Mao leaned into the second brother's ear and said, "It was the crow at home who led us to find the little pig."

You Wenyue didn't answer.He watched Jingrun put the two picture scrolls in the hands of Japanese overseas Chinese on the table for comparison. After Jingrun explained the painting skills and colors on the scrolls, he said: "Higashi Honganji Temple supports a painter named Asami. This painter is not good at talking with people, so the applicant only knows his surname but does not know his name. Even the monks in the temple don’t know his appearance. The only person who has contact with him is the one who took refuge in Dongying and came to Shanghai Soma Momozawa, the son of God, and the abbot Yagiru. Soma Momozawa is a blind man. Although he has direct contact with the painter, he does not know his appearance. Therefore, the only person in Shanghai Beach who knows the true face of the painter is the abbot Yagiru.”

blind?

You Wenyue and Dongfang Mao both thought of the girl with the quiver on her back. It turned out that her name was Soma Momozawa.

She came to Shanghai from Japan to take refuge, and I don't know what ups and downs happened to this girl.

Higashi Honganji Temple is strictly conservative and only open to Japanese overseas Chinese in China, and those who enter are not allowed to walk around at will.Therefore, Jingrun has no way of knowing the layout of the temple.

The Oriental Cat scratched its ears and cheeks: "It seems that we can only force our way in."

You Wensheng shook his head: "If you break in recklessly, it will only cause turmoil." At that time, if you are not careful, it will cause political problems.He didn't want everyone present to be a political victim.

what can we do about it?This is a problem.

While several people were thinking, the phone rang suddenly.Jing Run picked up the phone and said after hearing it, "It's Little Baylor calling. He said that someone set fire to the Higashi Honganji Temple."

The Oriental Cat stood up in surprise: "What?"

In the evening, the red clouds in the sky seemed to be burning. In the public concession, the East Hongan Temple was on fire. A living person ran out, and some people regarded this scene as an ominous omen.When the firefighting club of the public concession went to fight the fire, an accident happened halfway and they failed to arrive.

You asked how many people drove to the outskirts of Higashi Hongan Temple, and then he, Dongfang Mao, Xiao Bei Le, Jie Yuan, and Mentu broke into the raging Higashi Hongan Temple with wet quilts and people's exclamations.

Jing Run and William sat in the car with their master waiting for their return.

After entering Higashi Honganji Temple, You Wenyue finally understood why no one escaped.Because there were a lot of monks in the temple.Hand over the fallen people to Jie Yuan and Men Tu to rescue them.He continued to go deeper with Dongfang Mao and Little Baylor.

"Quack quack quack—" A group of crows danced in the sky above Higashi Honganji Temple.

Dongfang Mao's hair was burnt by the flames, and he screamed strangely: "Who set the fire? Where's the girl?"

The girl was nowhere to be seen, and her life and death were uncertain.

Because of the flames, the things in You Wenyue's body were screaming again.The eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes and instantly turned red.He grasped his heart with his hand to control the destructive monster.

"Wow woo woo woo... woo woo woo..."

There was a desperate cry from the front corridor, and the three of them followed the cry and found a young monk about 15 years old.You Wenyue fell next to the young monk.

Seeing the person coming, the despairing young monk's eyes lit up with hope, he held You Wenyue tightly and said in a weird tone, "There... there are monsters!"

The Oriental cat looked forward: "Monster?"

The little monk trembled and said, "The monster has captured Shenzi, please save her!"

Little Baylor stepped forward and said with a smile on his face, "We'll help you rescue the Son of God, how about you take us to see the painter Qianjian?"

The little monk knelt down: "As long as the Son of God can be rescued, I can promise anything."

You asked Yue Tiren, "Where is the person who took the Son of God?"

The little monk pointed to the front: "Front!"

So, the four of them galloped towards the front porch.

Along the way, the fire unexpectedly became smaller.As a result, the sound of flames was completely lost in my ears.Little Baylor stopped, and couldn't help but look back. The flames that were so close at hand seemed very far away.Without doubting him, the four of them continued walking.

The little monk pointed to the Japanese room in front and said, "It's inside."

You asked Yola to open the door, several people went in, and found that the walls of the Japanese room were covered with various portraits of puppets.The Oriental Cat called, "Is this where Qianjian lives?" Then he shouted, "Little Pig——"

What responded to him were two black shadows flying over.

You Wenyue grabbed the little monk and stepped back. Little Bei Le and Dongfang Mao met him, and the two bounced off.The Oriental Cat pointed at the assailant and exclaimed, "It's you!"

The person who attacked them was the one who hurt You Wenyue and Yan Shu.

Seeing that You Wenyue was stabbed and survived, one of the masked men's eyes flashed with surprise.

Letting go of the little monk, You Wenyue pulled out his baton—the last time he was carelessly injured, this time, he will not easily lose to the same person a second time.

When the two sides were ready to go, there were footsteps.The front door was opened, and a man wearing a monocle hummed a song. He leaned on a cane and led the kid in front of them. The two masked men retreated behind their master.

Looking at the little ghost who was tied up with a chain and treated as a beast, Dongfang Mao's pupils stood up.

You Wenyue's face suddenly turned cold.

The little monk pointed at the man with a trembling voice and said, "He is the one who took the Son of God!"

When I was doing my personal blog, not many people asked for the book "The Strange Case of the Demon Book", which resulted in a lot of brand new copies left behind, and the rest couldn't be sold even if it was posted on a certain fish (I was probably the first An author who sold his personal blog at a low price with free shipping on a certain website, but couldn't sell it).For this reason, I completely gave up the idea of ​​making a personal blog.The reason why I made this book at the beginning was because my life was poor and difficult at that time, and I wanted to earn some living expenses from it, and also fulfill my real desire.But for small authors, there are few readers and few buyers, which leads to some unsellable inventory.Therefore, it is enough to be slapped in the face in the end.Looking at the rest of the notebook, this made me feel scared, and I never thought of making a personal blog again.After all, I tore up a few copies and threw them away, and then gave away three or four sets.I only have three brand new ones left.For this book, it is divided into two volumes. It is quite thick and heavy, after all, it has more than 30 words.

"Demon Book Strange Talk" is a self-printed book for readers to gather together.At the beginning, there was 333.20 yuan left from the self-printed copy.

Then the gift method is: readers who want personal history and self-printed copies need to pay on delivery.Because there are so many books to send out, I really can't afford so much postage, so I send them out, and you sign for them and pay for the postage yourself.
