"The Taoist Master is a cultivator. I heard that cultivators need to cultivate their minds, and there is also a saying that a gentleman is kind and cooks at a distance." Luo Monk held a young apprentice in one hand and said to him, "I will interrogate them, and there is no guarantee that they will not do it."
There are some things that people can't bear to see. Not only does it affect the Taoist priest's state of mind, but even if he can't eat after seeing it, it's not a good thing, so it's better to stay away."
"There is indeed such a saying. However, there are many ways to seek the truth. This is one of them, but it is not the one we take."
Lin Jue said to Luo Gong.
Naturally, he is not afraid to see such things, but it is optional to see such things.
"Since Luo Gong said so, it just so happens that we also have other things to do." Lin Jue said, "It is quite convenient for the demon to use this bag to capture the woman's essence and blood, and then throw the body into the wilderness, so Luo Gong is here.
Let’s interrogate these two people, and let’s go to his residence to see if there are any other women he has kidnapped and locked up.”
"That's fine."
Luo Gong nodded: "Where is Master Fan Tian?"
"Fellow Daoist Fan is good at this, so there is no need to worry." Lin Jue said, "Since the person has been caught, we can each do our own thing."
"Um."
Luo Gong told them the location and then watched them leave with a calm expression.
After they left, he looked at the two people in the corner of the room.
…
It was already morning time.
There were already many people watching outside the Yamen.
Followed by the old servant, Fan Tianshi walked through the crowd and walked to the entrance of the yamen. He couldn't help but look back and glanced left and right.
According to the original arrangement, he, Taoist Fellow Lin, and Mr. Luo were supposed to come to inspect the woman's body. Later, Taoist Fellow Lin stopped coming, and Mr. Luo wanted to come with him. But for some unknown reason, the person who came here at this time actually
He is the only one.
What will he look at?
However, the news had already spread, so he had no choice but to come. This would not only make the people in the capital suspicious and panic, but would also damage the reputation of himself and fellow Taoist Lin.
In the same way, it’s already here, so you can’t help but watch it.
Fan Tianshi was also confused in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he even laughed and chatted with the people around him with an indifferent smile.
"I've met Master Fan Tian!"
"No need to be polite."
"Can Master Fan Tian find the monster?"
"Don't worry, you will definitely find it."
Fan Tianshi's demeanor remained calm, and he did not even express an aggravation in his tone, as if he was sure of this, and as if this was just a trivial matter to him.
In fact, he knew that at this moment, the harmful person or monster might be hiding in the crowd, looking at him worriedly, and the worry and anxiety in that person's heart were multiple, and whether he could reveal any flaws was actually related to his performance at this moment.
The confidence you show is closely related.
The middle-aged Taoist smiled slightly, showing his immortal Taoism, which made people believe that nothing in this world could defeat him.
"Pindao only needs to look at those women to know where the murderer is. Nothing like this will ever happen again in this capital city."
This sentence expresses the trust in Lin Jue and Luo Gong.
Today was originally a play for three people, but the other two leading actors were absent one by one. He didn't know the situation and had no choice but to continue acting alone.
Fortunately, this is his special skill.
So under the leadership of the guards, they walked into the morgue, without changing their expressions, and looked at the female corpses one by one. During this period, they sometimes nodded and sometimes frowned, and then showed clear expressions, and then their eyes lit up and they murmured in their mouths.
No one knew what this heavenly master was reciting, only a look of awe on his face.
Not long after, Fan Tianshi came out of the morgue and left calmly with his old servant.
The few remaining soldiers were surrounded by the people and asked about what happened inside. Many people listened to their stories. Even though the stories were confusing and vague, and not at all described by storytellers in the teahouse, they felt as if they had witnessed gods casting spells with their own eyes.
It not only relieved me, but also satisfied my curiosity.
…
Lin Jue and his junior sister arrived at the residence of the tall and thin Taoist.
The tall and thin Taoist pretended to be a doctor in the city, so much so that the courtyard was covered with medicinal herbs and the house was filled with the smell of medicinal herbs.
Lin Jue ignored these things at first, but walked to each room one by one. If the door was unlocked, he would kick it open and observe the entrance. If it was locked, he would wave his sleeves to knock the door open and observe the entrance.
The fox followed him, tilted his head to look at him, thinking in his eyes, and then turned to look around the yard.
"here!"
The fox turned and ran towards the woodshed.
"Bang!"
Lin Jue followed it closely, waving his sleeves and knocking open the wooden door.
The fox glanced around, waiting for the dust to clear, and then went straight in. When Lin Jue followed it in, he saw it standing in the middle of the empty room, staring up at him, and then lowered his head.
"In the cave!"
"A cave? A cellar?"
Lin Jue followed its gaze and looked at the floor.
Worthy of being a burrowing fox!
Although there was a wooden escape method, he did not use this method to enter rashly. Instead, he fumbled for a while and quickly found the entrance to the cellar. After lifting a floor, a hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the house, with an old and decaying wooden ladder.
Stretching downwards, leading into darkness.
A long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"I advise you to frown."
As the sound came out, a slight sobbing sound immediately appeared below, and it could be heard that it was a woman's voice.
Lin Jue held the long sword under his ribs, rubbed his hands together, and recited a curse in a low voice. He then raised his hands to his mouth and blew downwards.
A piece of fireflies came from nowhere, much brighter than ordinary fireflies, and were immediately blown out from his cupped hands, forming countless light spots, like a brilliant star river, flowing towards the dark cellar below.
This is Brother Seventh's trick, and the rotten grass becomes the firefly.
Under the illumination of countless fireflies, nothing strange can be seen. If someone moves or casts a spell, the fireflies will be disturbed, and he will be able to detect it as the starlight circulates.
Lin Jue then walked into it with his sword.
But there were no mechanisms or ambushes inside, only two women. One fell to the ground and became a mummy, and the other sat against the wall, sobbing, with many fireflies flying and spinning around them.
There was no ventilation in the cellar and the smell was unpleasant.
Lin Jue waved the breeze to disperse the stench.
These two women were the only ones in the cellar.
One has lost his life, and the other is sitting by the wall, his eyes are lifeless. At first, he cried because of the Taoist's words, "I advise you to frown." At this time, as soon as the magic power passed, his expression returned to something like a smile but not a smile.
"well……"
Lin Jue sighed and took them out.
The junior sister stayed outside and looked at all the medicinal materials in the yard.
"Senior brother, did you find someone?"
"There are two." Lin Jue said, "There is still one alive."
"oh……"
The junior sister was silent for a while, and then said: "I took a look at the medicinal materials he posted. Most of them are ordinary medicinal materials, but there are also some rare medicinal materials mixed in, which are treasures from heaven and earth. They may be collected and used to refine Zhuyan.
Dan’s. I haven’t found anything good elsewhere.”
"good."
"Do you want to report it to the official?"
"It's natural."
"Then I'll go."
The junior sister then went to report to the official, while Lin Jue was waiting here.
When the officials arrived, the two of them took the medicinal materials and left.
…
There was once a wailing and screaming in the courtyard. It is said that even pedestrians passing by on the street outside could hear it and were frightened by it.
When Lin Jue returned here, Wan Xinrong and Fan Tianshi had also returned.
"Zhenren Lin, I stayed outside the Yamen morgue for a day and a night, but there was no movement. No one came to destroy the body, and no one came to check it. It was not until Master Fan came to check the body today that I came back with Master Fan."
Wan Xinrong said.
"That means they are very smart." Lin Jue said, "It doesn't matter, the Taoist priest who harmed others has been caught and beheaded by us outside the city."
"Wan Mou heard what Mr. Luo said."
As Wan Xinrong said this, he suddenly stood up and with a pop, he knelt on the ground facing Lin Jue.
"Zhenren Lin is very kind to Mr. Wan. Mr. Wan doesn't have much ability, but from now on he is willing to listen to Mr. Lin as he pleases! Do the work of a dog and a horse!"
"I'm serious! Please get up quickly!"
Lin Jue immediately pulled him up.
The little junior sister sat aside and watched silently, secretly counting in her heart, Master Fan Tian, ​​Master Pan, and fellow Taoist Wan. Not long after the senior brother arrived in the capital, he recruited more and more Taoist disciples.
After a while, Luo Gong came out. It seemed that he had just taken a bath and changed his clothes.
"Did Mr. Luo ask?"
"nature."
Luo Monk, still unshaven and calm, said to them: "It's hard to say anything else, and they can't get in touch with them. I only know that they harmed the woman, collected the essence and blood, and sent them to a place called Jingyun fifty miles outside the city.
The place you look at should be where the elixir was refined."
"Jingyun Temple?"
Wan Xinrong gritted his teeth and said first.
Not being able to kill his enemy last night was his biggest regret.
"Jingyun Temple?" Fan Tianshi was much more cautious, "That is one of the largest Taoist temples around the capital, second only to Guanxing Palace and Yushan Baiqing Palace. Even His Majesty's noble concubine has been there, the Ministry of Rites and Juxian Mansion
I’m afraid I won’t check them easily, let alone attack them.”
"What skills do those Taoists have?" Luo Gong asked.
"Jingyun Temple is neither the Fulu Sect nor the Spiritual Law Sect, and it seems to have a little bit of both. I don't know what their abilities are. They shouldn't be very high." Fan Tianshi said, "It's just that after all, it is a great avenue that has been around for hundreds of years.
You see, it involves a lot."
"The roots are many and messy, so it's time to cut them off with a quick knife!"
Luo Monk said calmly and glanced at them again, especially Lin Jue and the junior sister:
"But you are all from Juxian Mansion in the capital. Taoist Lin will stay in the capital for a long time. Daoist Liu also lives outside the capital. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to show up and take action. If not, even if you have the ability to control thousands of troops,
I can't stay in the capital any longer. Things like this still have to be done by me, the protector of the Tao."
"Calm down Mr. Luo," Fan Tianshi said immediately.
"Wan is willing to accompany Luo Gong!" Wan Xinrong said.
"Luo is calm enough. He is just a member of the Jianghu. How can he be tied down by the court and the law? If so, Luo is still a county captain. Why is he still involved in the Jianghu?"
"You can figure it out slowly."
"This is also a road, not the one Luo took."
"this……"
Fan Tianshi stopped talking.
Lin Jueze and Luo Gong looked at each other calmly.
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that even if the tall and thin Taoist ordered by Jing Yun Guan murdered the woman for them and collected the blood essence, they would still have to give it to others if they got the blood essence and refined the elixir.
Even Luo Gong may not have really asked the question from those two people.
It's just that those people are so extraordinary...
Not to mention Lin Jue and Luo Gong, even the Divine Lord Yili or the True Lord of the North would not be able to kill them personally.
Mr. Luo was right this morning -
Some things have to wait until tomorrow.
But before the coming of the Ming Dynasty, this alchemist must be eliminated first.
Things like this should be cut through quickly.
If Juxian Mansion is unwilling, don’t ask Juxian Mansion. If the imperial court doesn’t allow it, don’t ask the imperial court. The emperor’s order cannot be violated. Just get ahead of it. How can people in the world or outsiders be bound by these rules?
Hold your neck?
In fact, Fan Tianshi is right.
With Fan Tianshi's ability and status, if he can grasp the evidence and map it out slowly, he might be able to bring down Jingyun Guan bit by bit.
But as Luo Gong said -
That was also a path, but it was not the one he took.
His way is by the sword and by the horse.
Lin Jue's path lies in magic.
It’s time to borrow a little bit of chivalry from Luo Gong so that I can feel free and easy in the world.
