Chapter 79 The second senior brother is here
“Of course not,” Li Chuan replied decisively: “You met a madman, what can you say?”
He didn’t ask Pan’s mother, just He told her that she and the caravan would still need to stay here for a while. He also said that a big shot in the capital had already taken over the matter, so she didn't have to worry.
After that, we talked a lot with each other.
When he walked out of the inn again, he realized that he was sweating when the wind blew.
This is scarier than watching monsters fight.
"Brother Li, why didn't you ask her?" Wen Guying asked.
Li Chuan wiped the sweat from his face and said, "I have to ask anyway, so why not wait until everyone is gathered before asking. Besides, who was originally responsible for this case? Why not call him over and continue? Take charge of this case, make notes, check information, and find people.”
He knows what he’s worth. There are professionals who can dispatch him, so why not use him?
Wen Guying said meaningfully, "If this happens, this case will no longer be suppressed."
"Why does the Taoist believe what your junior brother said is true?" Li Chuan asked.
Wen Guying replied: "I don't believe it, but...three thousand years ago, an unknown monk ascended to immortality in Xialin Village."
"Three thousand years ago?"
" Yes, there was no such village as Houxialin Village at that time, and there was no Xiushan County. The edges of the surrounding area would become blurred during the ascension, and it was not impossible that there would be some strange signs."
"Three thousand years ago. ,Do you think Taoist priest is too thorough?”
"Three thousand years is just a moment."
"If it turns out that your junior brother is crazy, what will you do?"
"Plead guilty and be punished."
"I I want to believe you." Li Chuan then said, "How did you originally plan to let me watch today? Did you just let her stand under the sun and let me watch?"
Wen Guying was already prepared. He took out a dusty mirror from his sleeve, "This mirror can reflect people's souls. It's just an ordinary mirror looking at demons."
Li Chuan took it and asked, "How should I use it?"
Wen Guying answered: "On that day, just take a picture of Su Niang and the little girl. If you are not at ease, find another demon mirror. The method works too."
......
Wen Guying is very efficient, and he found everyone in just three days.
The first person to arrive was Jin Rong, an official of Qin Tianjian. As soon as he arrived in Xiushan County, he came to visit Li Chuan. The two found a private room in the teahouse to talk.
Li Chuan was a little disappointed when he saw that it was not Zhu Qingyun.
Jin Rong showed his closeness to him and explained: "Junior sister was summoned into the palace by His Majesty and cannot come out for the time being. She wrote a letter and asked me to give it to you."
"Your Majesty? "
"Yeah, something happened during the Chinese New Year..."
"It's hard to say, so there's no need to say it."
"It's okay, Brother Li is not an outsider, and he has some relationship with you," Jin Rong said in turn: "When Prince Su came to Beijing to give New Year's gifts, he was captured by His Majesty, and he is in prison now."
< br>It is estimated that something happened in collusion with the Demon King.
"So there was chaos in the capital for a while, and I heard that there was a ghost in the palace, so Junior Sister Zhu was called in. It is expected to take another month or two before she can come out." Jin Rong shouted He drank some tea and moistened his throat. "She is most tired of dealing with the palace concubines."
"I see." Li Chuan said.
He opened the letter.
In the letter, Zhu Qingyun said hello to him, talked about recent developments, and praised his second senior brother, saying that he was also a scholar and had been awarded the third prize by His Majesty himself, so he felt that they would be able to chat.
Seeing Li Chuan's expression getting more and more stern, Jin Rong couldn't help but ask him: "What did junior sister say in the letter?"
Li Chuan folded the letter and said, "She asked me to handle the case well. Don’t embarrass Qin Tianjian.”
“Before I came, the master also told me to fully cooperate with you,” Jin Rong said very freely, “So if you want me to do anything, just ask Brother Li, don’t worry about that. Xuanmen monk."
"Qin Tianjian seems to be a little disgusted with Xuanmen?" Li Chuan was a little confused about Jin Rong's attitude.
"That's not true. We usually cooperate a lot, but..." Jin Rong folded his fan and said, "Sometimes the court would rather indulge the big demon than ask Xuanmen for help. Why do you think it is?"
< br>“Why?”
“Because the Dajiang Dynasty is a country of mortals, not a country under Xuanmen. If everything relies on Xuanmen, then he will be the emperor in the future. It is nothing more than a dog chosen by Xuanmen, and a mortal will completely become the monk's provider." Compared with Zhu Qingyun, the second senior brother Jin Rong obviously saw further, "So in your case, the murderer is Si Shen Gong. Isn’t it wonderful to deal with him severely without actually offending the Four Gods Palace and adhering to the principles of the court?”
“What if he was not expelled from the Four Gods Palace?” Li Chuan asked.
“It’s not like there are no sects in Xuanmen that use mortals for experiments,” Jin Rong faced the facts, “Can Qin Tianjian still go to sects to take people?”
"What if there are really strange ghosts?" Li Chuan asked.
Jin Rong replied: "With the help of Qin Tianjian, I discovered the strange ghost and eliminated a catastrophic disaster. Isn't it a meritorious deed?" After hearing this, Li Chuan felt that the second senior brother was a trustworthy person. people.
He did not completely deny the existence of White Walkers in his heart. In this world of demons, ghosts and gods, nothing was strange. In fact, when Wen Guying approached him for the first time, he believed him directly.
What he doesn’t believe in is Guan Zhongqiu.
More importantly, he couldn't tolerate the monk's word or method to let the murderer of the village go away.
Then he heard Jin Rong say: "It's a pity for Brother Li. If Brother Li ends up in the Spring Palace, he will have a better position after he has the status of a scholar or after the imperial examination. It’s a pity, it’s a pity, the junior sister is still not steady in her work.”
We can’t talk anymore.
He asked: "As for the other two monks invited by Daoist Wen, do you know them?"
Jin Rong said: "Daoist Wen told me that one is from the Xuanyue Sect. Elder Wei is a soul cultivator, and the other is Master Zenhai from Mount Xumi. They are both highly respected people and should not bother to cheat.”
After hearing this, Li Chuan felt relieved. He showed Jin Rong the mirror that Wen Guying had given him, "This demon-looking mirror was given to me by Master Wen."
Jin Rong looked through it and said, "This is the most beautiful mirror." Can an ordinary magic mirror reflect a person's soul? If Brother Li is worried, I'll find another one. It won't take much trouble."
Li Chuan thought for a while and said, "No, that's it. Let’s do it.”
On the third day, Elder Wei and Master Zenhai arrived.
Elder Wei is a Taoist nun. She wears a black Taoist robe and has an aura of bitterness and hatred on her face. Master Zenhai has a round nose and thick lips and a loud voice. He looks like a monk with profound Buddhist teachings.
After these people arrived in Xiushan County, Commander Wu of Chao Bing County could no longer pretend to inspect the county. He showed up to say hello to the monks, entrusted everything to Jin Rong, and then transferred the responsibility for this matter to Jin Rong. Li Canjun, who was responsible for the case, was pulled out and asked to wait for instructions, and then went to the county to inspect the rice seedlings.
Li Chuan first asked Elder Wei to examine Pan’s mother first.
Elder Wei did not refuse, walked up to Pan’s mother, spread out her hands, grabbed the pulse of Pan’s hands, and after checking, she said: “I want to go in and have a look.”
< br>She disappeared as soon as she finished speaking, and Pan's mother's expression became confused.
"Huh?" Elder Wei made a puzzled sound while revealing her figure again, and then she tried again. This time she disappeared for a longer time, about a stick of incense, before she condensed again. into an entity.
"How is it?" Li Chuan asked.
Elder Wei said: "Her three souls and seven souls are no different from ordinary people. If there is anything abnormal, it is that her life soul is completely integrated into her body, so if she wants to extract her soul, It is true that it cannot be extracted. However, although this situation is rare, it does not exist at all. For example, some half-demon with special bloodlines have their souls completely integrated with their physical bodies."
"Please check again, Elder Wei. "Take care of this little girl." After speaking, Li Chuan asked, "Please be a little gentler."
"I understand." Elder Wei picked up the little girl.
The little girl was awake. She was not very good at walking yet. When she was picked up, she was lying on the chair and eating her fingers.
Elder Wei did not disappear this time. After a moment, she said: "The three souls and six souls of the young girl are completely normal and can be extracted."
Then, Li Chuan asked Master Zenhai to do something to Pan's mother and the young girl. Checked.
After reciting some scriptures and shining Buddha's light, Master Zenhai said that he could not find any abnormalities.
"Master Li, please take another look." Wen Guying said
"Okay." Li Chuan asked Pan's mother and the young daughter to go outside and stand in the noon sun.
The sky is as blue as green, and the clouds are scattered into pieces of fish scales.
As Li Chuan approached, he heard Pan's mother ask: "What are you looking for? Are our grandparents ghosts?"
Li Chuan did not answer, but took out the demon mirror and asked Pan Mom looked at her face in the mirror.
Pan's mother's face appeared in the mirror, exactly the same as her appearance.
Li Chuan looked carefully, and gradually the soul in the mirror began to change. He successfully entered the mysterious realm. The soul spread out in front of him like clothes. He gradually distinguished the three souls and the seven souls. soul.
He continued to wait quietly.
Wen Guying also walked into the sun.
The rubies on the sword are becoming more and more dazzling, as if they are responding to the sunshine.
The complicated pattern finally broke apart and turned into the dots and horizontal lines that Li Chuan was familiar with.
It was about time for a cup of tea. He took the mirror from Pan’s mother and went to look at his little girl. After that, he asked Jin Rong, Liu Canjun, Guan Zhongqiu to take photos, and finally Gong Er and Pang San came.
The sun was covered by clouds, and the shadow covered Li Chuan's face, hiding his expression.
"Brother Li, what's the result?" Wen Guying asked.
"I saw a bug, a shadow-like bug, in the souls of Pan Mama and your junior brother." Li Chuan said with difficulty.
He saw the double image between the dots and the horizontal ones. When he looked closer, the double image turned into a bug, thin and like a transparent feather.
