Chapter 80 A Simple Decision
The outlines of the clouds are blurred in the halo.
Li Chuan put down the mirror.
Pan's mother is a strange ghost, Guan Zhongqiu is also a strange ghost, and the direction of things is getting more and more ridiculous.
He observed the expressions of the people present one by one.
Pan's mother's sad face showed a numbness of resignation, and she held her little granddaughter tightly with both hands. The little granddaughter was a little uneasy and kept looking left and right.
Guan Zhongqiu’s raised cheekbones were up and down, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t speak.
Elder Wei and Master Zenhai were talking in a low voice, and you could faintly hear some words with unclear meanings such as "Enlightenment" and "Zen Realm".
Jin Rong lowered his head and thought.
Wen Guying was standing with his back to the sun, which made his face and figure look a little blurry. He was the first to speak: "Now that the problem has been discovered, it will be easier to solve later, Elder Wei," He took a few steps in the direction of Elder Wei and said, "Please check Su Niang and Junior Brother Guan again."
Li Chuan finally saw his expression clearly, and it seemed to be both determination and relief.
Elder Wei agreed.
Wen Guying also warned: "Don't be merciful towards the strange ghosts. In order to find out the problem, some inconvenient methods can also be used."
Elder Wei expressed his understanding.
She examined Pan Ma and Guan Zhongqiu, but neither of them resisted.
This examination took a long time, nearly an hour. After the examination, Elder Wei's figure seemed to have become weaker, and his face, which was already full of pain and hatred, looked even more gloomy.
She said: "This time I traced their life souls and found some problems. Pan's life soul was traced back to around 33 years ago. For a period of time, the life soul was very unstable, but Going back to around 38 years ago, it became stable again; but the life soul of fellow Taoist Guan was in the same unstable situation a year ago."
"But..." Elder Wei emphasized, " From the perspective of soul cultivation, these are not abnormal. There are many reasons for this situation." She turned to look at Li Chuan, "The cause and effect still needs to be explained by the heirs of the Classic of Patterns. "
Li Chuan directly asked Wen Guying, "Master Wen, I have told you everything I saw. What are you going to do now?" What do you think of Brother Li?" Taoist Wen asked.
Li Chuan was very thoughtful. He glanced at Jin Rong, who nodded to him.
Li Chuan gained confidence.
He said: "Please send Pan Ma's grandson and monk Guan back first."
Pan Ma followed the yamen servant.
After Guan Zhongqiu walked halfway, he broke away and said, "I want to hear how you plan to sentence me."
Wen Guying also said: "Let him stay."
Li Chuan agreed, and he said: "Now there are actually three things."
"The first thing is very simple. Brother Guan killed a person from Xialin Village and should be executed according to the law. The case has been reported to the court and the verdict has been approved. He will be executed next month.”
“The second thing is also very simple, Brother Guan claimed. What he killed was a strange ghost. The strange ghost is not a human being, and may even harm humans, so killing a strange ghost is a meritorious deed, and naturally he does not need to die. But according to the results of the examination by Elder Wei and me, Brother Guan is not what he said. The White Walkers are the same existence. He thinks that the White Walkers deserve to die. According to his own logic, he himself should die. "
Guan Zhongqiu raised his eyelids and said, "Su. My mother and her granddaughter should also die.”
"This is the third thing. We need to investigate how the people in Xialin Village became strange ghosts." Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying, "Do you think it's these three things?" Wen Guying nodded: "Li Brother’s analysis is very clear. What are you going to do?”
“There is still one month left, we will take Pan Niang and Brother Guan into custody first, and then ask someone to take care of the young daughter. During this month, try to find out the truth about Xialin Village."
"What about one month later?" Wen Guying asked.
"If you find the truth, you will naturally know what to do; if you can't find the truth..." Li Chuan said with difficulty, "Then, the White Walkers are not human beings, and they will be safer dead. As for the young girl, Send him to the Infant Care Center, and ask the soul cultivator to come and see him every year. If there are no abnormalities after the age of twenty-one, he will not come again. If there is an emergency, he will wait until something happens."
Jin Rong also spoke up at this time and said, "Brother Li has thought it through very carefully. What do you think, Taoist Wen, Elder Wei, Master Chanhai?"
Wen Guying said: "I have no objection. , but I hope to extend the time a little longer." He sighed softly, "Maybe you think that I want to protect Junior Brother Guan. I admit that I do have such thoughts in my heart, but now, I am more concerned about the next thing. The anomaly in Lincun, and what exactly is the 'Other Ghost'?"
He said: "It involves the secrets of Xuanmen, let's find a place to talk about it. Junior Brother Guan, you shouldn't listen to what I'm going to say next. "
Guan Zhongqiu said: "I will go back to the prison right now."
Then Wen Guying asked Liu Canjun to find a place for them to talk. So Liu Canjun led them through several ceremonial gates and arrived at a public hall.
After that, he stood guard outside the door from a distance.
After sitting down, Wen Guying said: "I found records in the files of the Four Gods Palace. Three thousand years ago, someone ascended in Xialin Village. This may be the reason for the abnormality in Xialin Village."
"Who is that immortal?" Elder Wei asked.
“I don’t know.” Wen Guying answered.
“Don’t you know your identity after your ascension?” Elder Wei asked.
"I don't know." Wen Guying still replied, "There is only one entry in the case file of the Four Gods Palace. The person who recorded it was Gusong Taoist. He sensed someone ascending through the tribulation in the southwest. When he passed by, the cloud of tribulation had dispersed. , it should be that the ascension was successful, so this record was created."
Then he said: "Everyone here knows what happened to the Shuangye Sect twenty years ago, right?"
Everyone knows. nod.
“The Frost Leaf Sect technique and burning incense allowed the monks’ spiritual thoughts to directly observe the inner abyss, which led to their sudden enlightenment and overcoming the bottleneck in a short time. This was also the reason why the immortal took action in the end.”
< br>Wen Guying's expression was solemn, "Junior Brother Guan once asked the Immortal to check if there was anything wrong with Su Niang, but the Immortal did not see the problem. Therefore, I suspect that the appearance of the White Walkers this time is also related to Xin Yuan."
He asked Li Chuan: "Brother Li, can you give me some more time?"
After thinking about it, Li Chuan said: "If nothing is found in a month, then I think it's okay. There is no need to prolong it any longer, but if there is progress and clues are found, and we can continue to pursue it, then we will postpone it for another two months, and it cannot be longer than two months."
Wen Guying immediately agreed. , said: "Thank you, Brother Li."
Li Chuan asked again: "Can you tell us why you defend him so much?"
"I am not defending him, but, Junior Brother Guan It's different from other monks." Wen Guying turned to look at Jin Rong, "At your age, you probably don't know. Your master knows. I originally thought Gong Wuguang would stop him when he saw Junior Brother Guan's name. As soon as I stopped him, I didn't expect that the verdict was immediately passed. You only know that he killed a whole village of people thirty or forty years ago, when the imperial court carried out the last large-scale demon suppression, which happened to be the time when he traveled down the mountain. He saved more than one village or two.”
Jin Rong replied: "Master only asked me to cooperate with Brother Li."
Then he said: "Qin Tianjian does not interfere in politics."
