The Lord Wujin's expression changed when he heard this, but he was a little calmer and returned to normal. The guard of the Life Guard quickly invited the two of them in. The guard of the Step Guard was about to turn around, but the Lord Wujin shouted again: "I'd better go and greet them in person!"
When the lord Wuzhen was walking by the Zhaishui River in a car, there was a hidden pit on the river bank. The carriage suddenly overturned and he was locked in. It was Lord Boyi on the carriage behind who cast a spell to rescue him. This incident happened during Dayu's flood control. Boyi happened to come to the Zhaishui village on Dayu's order.
It was from then on that time that Wuyin had the intention of cultivation and later he really got started. However, for the past ten years, his cultivation has been stagnant in the four realms. Although he devoted himself to cultivation, he could not improve. He thought that he might be tired of the Chengguao civil affairs.
When he arrived outside the mansion, the lord Wujin was stunned again, but then he regained his composure and went forward to salute and said, "It turns out it is you, please come into the mansion and talk!"
He did not call Bo Yi's name, and welcomed the two guests to the pavilion in the back garden, and ordered the servants in the mansion not to disturb him. After there were no idle people waiting around, the Wuzhen City Lord saluted again and said, "Mr. Bo Yi, why did you come to me? I really didn't expect you to be safe and sound!"
Bo Yi joked: "I am still alive, Lord Wuzhen is surprised, right? Do you want to report to the Emperor of Great Xia and take me to the credit?"
The Lord of Wujin quickly waved his hand and said, "The emperor has announced that you have died in the chaos, and this matter has been revealed. I am very happy to see you safe and sound! I don't know what you have asked for today, nor do I know what I can do to you..."
Bo Yi waved his hand and interrupted him, "Don't worry, I won't have anything to make things difficult for you, but this young master Suiyu wants to see you." As he said that, he pointed his hand at Xiaojiu.
The Wujin City Lord looked at Xiaojiu in surprise and said, "I don't know where this young master comes from, what's wrong with finding this city lord?"
Bo Yi also introduced: "Fellow Taoist Suiyu is a prince of Baoming Kingdom and a disciple of the Supreme Master. He once lived in Minister Lu Ze, and he had the Hu Jun appear to give advice for many years."
The Wujin City Lord thought that Xiaojiu was Bo Yi's attendant. When he heard that Xiaojiu was the son of Baoming Kingdom, he did not react in any special way. But when he heard that Xiaojiu was the disciple of the Supreme Master and had been personally guided by Hu Jun himself for many years, his eyes immediately changed. He stepped forward and put his arms around and said, "So it is Junior Brother Suiyu! I am also a disciple of the Supreme Master. I once listened to the Supreme Master** on the top of the mountain. I wonder what the current situation of the Supreme Master is?"
In fact, neither Xiaojiu nor Wuci officially worshipped Huwa as their teacher, but they had listened to the lecture under Huwa's seat and it was nothing wrong to call themselves the Supreme disciple. Seeing that the Lord of Wuci suddenly became so intimate and called himself a junior brother, Xiaojiu had to smile bitterly and said, "I haven't seen Mr. Huwa for many years, and I don't know where Mr. Huwa is now."
The Lord of Wuzhen City: "The whereabouts of the Supreme Master are undecided, and my junior brother has been listening to lectures under the Supreme Master for many years. He has received many guidance from his wonderful methods. It is really a blessing for my senior brother to come here to meet him. I might as well stay here for a while and let me ask my junior brother for advice."
Xiaojiu said helplessly: "Actually, I came here just for one thing today. During the day, I met a young man named Chai Lang in the market outside the city and killed someone. I have found out the general causes and consequences. I wonder how the city lord dealt with it?"
The Wujin City Lord wondered: "Just because of this, is it that my junior brother and Chai Lang or the man who were old friends?"
Xiaojiu shook his head and said, "It's not my old knowledge. This is the first time I have seen it in my life."
The Wuzhen City Lord looked at Bo Yi in confusion again, and Bo Yi waved his hand and said, "I am no longer in the position of fake emperor, so I should not decide this matter. But since fellow Taoist Sui Yu is interested, the city lord may as well answer his question. What have you made and why do you make such a decision?"
Since Xiaojiu wanted to ask, the Wujin City Lord was not easy to refute his face, and everyone sat down. Tea and fruits had been arranged on the case, so the Wujin City Lord briefly introduced it. When the Han Dynasty killed people, there was no confirmation, and even if there was a confirmation, Chai Lang should not commit suicide. The reason for this matter is very clear. As for Chai Lang, the evidence of the murder was conclusive, and the Chinese Emperor had reported to the emperor for review of his punishment.
Why should I report to the Emperor of China? Since the time of Emperor Yao, this is a decree. After Lord Gao Yao compiled the Criminal Code, this was a clear provision of etiquette and law. The city lord can make a judgment on civil disputes by himself, but the punishment for major cases such as Chai Lang that are worthy of death must be reported to the Emperor for approval, which means that only the Emperor has the right to order the execution of the death row prisoner.
Although this is inefficient, it reflects caution. In cases that are sufficient for the death penalty, the situation must be reported to the imperial capital, and the relevant officials will review the case, and then the emperor will approve it to prevent the indiscriminate killing of innocent people and reflect the virtue of living. On the other hand, although some prisoners have committed death sentences, it may be understandable that the emperor can also pardon their punishment or sentence other punishments to reflect kindness.
This is how the Lord Wuzhen City handled it. According to etiquette and law, he seemed to be unable to find any fault. He had sent someone to the imperial capital to report the emperor, and there was no concealment of the case, including the fact that Chai Lang once accused of killing people in Han but could not be verified. There had been no such major case in Zhaiyang City for several years, but the Lord Wuzhen City was still very concise to deal with it. It was already done at this moment, and he was just waiting for the emperor's approval of the criminal punishment.
After listening to it, Xiaojiu said in surprise: "It's that simple? How can you, the city lord, be so worry-free!"
The Lord of Wuyin asked, "What's wrong with this? I admire the Supreme Way, seek tranquility and inaction, and take it with nothing."
Xiao Jiu frowned and said, "Sir, "That is, inaction, is, inaction, and inaction, is, without any incident. Now there is clearly something wrong, how can the city lord say that?"
Although Xiao Jiu was criticizing, Wuyin City Lord was still very well-educated and said without any displeasure: "If there is something, it should be turned into nothing. My treatment is to happen if it happens, and it will not increase or decrease."
Xiaojiu: "Have you ever thought that if Chai Lang's accusation was true? Then when the Han really killed someone, if the city lord found out in time, there would be no future happening!"
The Wuzhen City Lord spread his hands: "If you can get the conviction of being a man, it will be better. If there is conclusive evidence, the city Lord will never slack off. Unfortunately, Chai Lang cannot produce evidence, and even the location is unclear. This city Lord has to do this, and it should be like this."
Bo Yi finally couldn't help but say, "Do you just talk about the five lives so easily?"
The Wujin City Lord said in surprise: "Why are five lives?"
Bo Yi answered the question as if he was right and wrong: "Chai Lang's report is indeed the truth. In addition to his witnesses, there are also circumstantial evidence in the mountains, and many birds and beasts saw it."
Bo Yi is also a monk. He has now cultivated the realm of transformation. He has cultivated his unique magical powers and is good at distinguishing the words of birds and beasts. Birds and beasts cannot speak, but Bo Yi can understand the various meanings they express with his divine thoughts. This matter has been circulated in various Chinese departments. He said that if there are birds and beasts in the mountains, it means that if there are birds and beasts who are killed when they see them, they will be killed when they are seen by the Han.
The lord of Wuzhen raised his body and said, "It is difficult for ordinary people to tell the words of birds and beasts. But since Lord Bo Yi has already found out, he can tell the place where the Han Dynasty killed people, send the government servants to investigate the traces, or evidence can be revealed."
Bo Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that you don't know how to investigate the case, but you just don't want to do it."
The Wujin City Lord explained: "It's just that Chai Lang failed to provide clues. He had no evidence and could not remember the case. At this moment, since Lord Bo Yi was able to provide clues, how could this city lord not investigate?"
Bo Yi shook his head and said, "Even if Chai Lang can't remember the road in the mountains in a panic, you can send a servant to search the mountains, or send someone to accompany him to return the same way, and try to make him remember it. You can even ask him to point out the general scope and go searching in person. Don't forget that you are also a monk! If you do this, you may not show anything, but you did not do it."
The Wuzhen City Lord said something for a moment and was about to say something, Xiaojiu said again: "Actually, it is not difficult to ask clearly. I have brought a victim."
The Lord of Wujin said in surprise: "What did you say? Was he the one killed by the Han Dynasty? Isn't he already dead?"
Xiaojiu did not speak but waved his hand gently. A gust of cold wind suddenly rolled up in the pavilion, and the candlelight swayed and turned into a blue-white color. The strange aura made people stand up. A phantom that seemed to be transparent appeared in the shade, which seemed to dissipate at any time. He saluted everyone: "My name is Hu Zong, a merchant from Jiqiu tribe. He was killed by the murderer when he passed by..."
Xiaojiu was not idle before dark, and under the guidance of the green bull, he went to the place where the Han killed people. Boyi investigated what the birds and beasts in the mountains saw, while Xiaojiu cast spells in time to gather a Yin spirit that was about to dissipate. It was the merchant who was killed by the Han robbery five days ago.
This man's name is Hu Zong, who comes from Jiqiu tribe. Dang Han told him in the market town that he had dug up treasures in the mountains. He quietly followed Dang Han, but unexpectedly, the purpose of Dang Han was to kill people and rob money... Hu Zong's Yin Shen appeared and told the story of his murder. The truth was revealed.
After Hu Zong finished his story, Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the murderer has been killed. The city lord will find out the case and announce it. Someone will notify your family that the money you robbed can be retrieved."
Hu Zong bowed, and the already hazy and erratic form of Yin God disappeared immediately, and the candlelight in the pavilion returned to normal. The Wuzhen City Lord was shocked, and Xiao Jiu said again: "Master Lord, do you have nothing to say?"
The Lord of Wujin stood up, bowed and bowed to Xiaojiu and said, "The essence and energy in this world are wandering souls and souls, and the Yin God appears. How mysterious is it? What a wonderful method that fellow Yu Daoist has just used? Wujin is just about to ask for advice!"
Xiaojiu reached out and wanted to help him, but now she took his hand back and said with a stern voice: "Are you just asking? "
The merchant Hu Bao was dead, but Xiao Jiu was able to cast a spell to make his Yin God appear and bring him here. Although the lord Wuzhen had practiced for many years, he still could not understand this magical power, and he could not understand the mystery. The first thought in surprise was of course to ask Xiao Jiu for advice. In his opinion, this must have been taught by Hu Wa, and when he heard Hu Wa Yan talk about the great way on the top of Boshan, Hu Wa had not specifically talked about these things.
After hearing Xiaojiu's question, the Wujin City Lord quickly explained: "If I have such a method and encounter a major murder case, I can call the Death Lord Yin God and ask..."
Xiaojiu interrupted him and pointed to Bo Yi beside him and said, "Fellow Daoist Bo Yi has inherited the position of Lord Gao Yao and was a fake emperor of China. When reviewing major cases, did he call birds and beasts to the hall? Lord Gao Yao has a divine beast Xie Zhi around him, and Lord Gao Yao has judged the case and obtained evidence based on Xie Zhi's words?"
Before the Lord of Wuzhen spoke, Bo Yi had already replied: "If everyone does not know the words of birds and beasts, how can they pass the words of birds and beasts to the hall as evidence? In the eyes of everyone, wouldn't it be that I can point out at will?... Xie Xi can observe people's hearts. When Xie Xi is there, he did not directly determine the case. Instead, Lord Gao Yao searched for evidence with his words, and everything would be fulfilled like a god."
Xiaojiu said again: "We can only use these methods when we find the place where Hu Zong is killed. But if you have found the place where you have found the case, you can collect all the evidences. Why should you summon the unpredictable Yin God?"
The words carry divine thoughts and explain the mystery of such magical means, but with the current cultivation level of Wudi City Lord, it is difficult to achieve.
When a person dies, he will return to the world, receive the essence and blood of his parents, and grow up with the vitality of the grains, and return to heaven and earth after death. The Hu stake is really dead. The so-called return, or ghost, is just a trace he left in heaven and earth. The trace he left in heaven and earth is still there, and Xiao Jiu casts a spell to condense and appear, which is the Yin God seen by the Wudi City Lord.
Yin spirits are mostly condensed by resentment at the end of death. They only know their own experiences, only think about their thoughts at the end of death, and they are confused and even do not know their own existence. They also cannot detect and affect the things around them, and often dissipate in the wind in the daytime. Xiao Jiu came very timely. If he had been a few days in the evening, it would be impossible to use such means.
Even if a person dies, even if the Yin God is left due to various opportunities, it will often dissipate very quickly. In extremely special circumstances, the Yin God is awakened and protected and condensed by the outside world, and may remain in the world for a long time and be called ghost cultivation. Ghost cultivation is not only Yin God, but ordinary people can also practice ghost cultivation methods. Since ancient times, the great master who summarized the methods of ghost cultivation is of course the Emperor Gaoyang.
It is extremely difficult for ghost cultivation to be born into Yin God to achieve great success, but if it does not achieve great success, it will not have the original life span before birth for the longest time in the world. According to some people in later generations, Yin life span is not healthy.
Xiao Jiu used the great magical power of the immortal family to gather Hu Zong's Yin God and awaken him. After he said that after he was killed, his obsession had disappeared, and of course he disappeared and returned to the cycle of heaven and earth. The Wujin City Lord sighed: "It's a pity that the Yin God of this merchant has dispersed, otherwise he can be summoned in the hall and identified the crime of murdering people in the Han Dynasty... When the emperor punished, he could be lightly depressed to Chai Huang, or he could be merciless and relieved him."
Xiaojiu's anger could not be concealed and said, "Of course, when Lord Bo Yi was accused of the case, he did not use the words of birds and beasts as evidence. Should the Lord of the City Lord present the affairs of ghosts and gods? If people's words are not enough to prove it, even ghosts and gods are not enough to prove it."
The Wuzhen City Lord waved his hand and said, "Of course not, I just sighed! I know that the murder of the victim was killed on the scene of the case, so it is easy to deal with this clue. According to what Hu Zong said, when the Han threw his body into a deep ravine, I could send a servant to find it. If it matches the testimony of Chai Huang, the case can be decided."
Xiaojiu asked back, "Is that just that? What is the motive for killing Hu stakes as a man? Where is the money he robbed? Is this his first murder? What Lord Boyi said just now was five lives!
I might as well tell you that in the past two years, the Han Dynasty had committed three crimes, and they all threw the corpse in the same deep ravine, and were eaten by birds and beasts. I could cast spells to condense the Yin God of the Han Dynasty, but I could not use such methods to the other two miserables, but I guess they were all passers-by. When the Han Dynasty robbed some of the wealth and goods, the rest were buried under the water tank in his own home, and you can send someone to find evidence."
Xiao Jiu casts spells to condense and awaken the Yin God of Hushang, and only provides clues. The clues are not the final evidence, but can become ideas and methods for finding evidence. For example, someone has a dream and dreams that the deceased tells himself many things. Of course, this dream cannot be used as evidence, but can become a clue to find evidence.
Xiaojiu was already a little impatient with the Wudi City Lord, so he simply told the situation he found and asked Wudi City Lord to collect evidence. Wudi City Lord asked: "These are three murders, why are there five lives?"
Lord Bo Yi couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Isn't being a han a human life? Chai Huang stabbed him to death in public and was also a death sentence according to the law. Isn't this also a human life?"
The Wujin City Lord’s handling of the case from beginning to end seems to be impossible, but he has not done too many things. This case is actually not complicated, or even quite simple. When the Han kills someone, Chai Yang has been caught by Chai Yang, and Chai Yang runs to the city lord to sue him, even if Chai Yang can’t remember the location of the case, the Wujin City Lord can send someone to help Chai Yang recall and send additional people to search the mountain. On the other hand, you cannot simply ask about the Han Dynasty and make a case. He should be formally summoned and interrogated.
In this case, Chai Huang would no longer kill the Han Dynasty and commit a death sentence. When the Han Dynasty is still alive, it is possible to obtain his confession; even if there is no examination in the Han Dynasty, evidence of the crime can be found under the water tank in his house.
All this does not require Xiaojiu and Boyi to take action, nor does it require the use of magical secret techniques. Ordinary servants can do it, let alone Wuzhen City Lord himself, a cultivator. Facing the rebuke, Wuzhen City Lord was not angry and stood up again and said, "Thank you for finding out this case. Thank you for Suiyu for guiding the magical methods of ghosts and gods. I will send the servants to verify the evidence early tomorrow morning."
Xiaojiu: "I got the evidence, but the matter has been released. What is the city lord planning to do?"
Wuzhen City Lord: "Since there are new changes in the case, I will send someone to report it in detail after I verify it. If the emperor knows that there is something else, he will definitely explain Chai Huang and at least he will save his life."
"Chai Yang didn't have to be punished, it was all because of the city lord's mistake!" Xiaojiu sighed and asked again, "When will the emperor's approval be delivered to the city wall?"
The Wuzhen City Lord replied: "The fastest thing is after this autumn."
Xiaojiu stood up and said, "Since I'm leaving... Fellow Daoist Boyi, let's go!"
The lord of Wuyin tried to stay and said: "Junior Brother Suiyu, I just met, why should I leave in a hurry? You and I are under the Supreme Seal to listen to the lecture. It is rare to be so destined to be so destined to do so, so we should have a good conversation."
Xiaojiu had already walked out. Hearing this, he suddenly turned around and said, "You have been listening to the lectures at the Grand Historian, but don't call yourself a disciple of the Grand Historian, and don't threaten the way of being a pure and quiet way of doing things, which will only bring shame to the gentleman!"
Bo Yi also said: "As a city lord, there are too many conditions for me to devote myself to practicing than ordinary people. And you think that the city affairs have delayed your practice. Since that is the case, you might as well not be this city lord, nor deserve to be this city lord!"
Although Xiaojiu was angry, he still left a divine mind seal on the Lord Wuyi when he spoke, which was to continue to criticize him and to enlighten him. If Wuyi was still obsessed with it, then Xiaojiu would be too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
The so-called inaction is not inaction, but the things that should be done are done well and there is no need to make trouble. The so-called nothing is not that the city lord doesn’t care about the matter, but that the city is in peace and contentment. If such a thing happens, can it still be claimed to be nothing?
Inaction and doing everything is the most important reason for the master's idea of describing the realm of governing the world, but this vulgar misinterpretation of the city lord even became an excuse for doing nothing. How could Xiaojiu not be angry? In fact, since ancient times, this ultimate ideal state of governance is impossible, and it is only close in the late years of Emperor Xuanyuan. Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi's "gives his clothes and governs" has been passed down as a legend throughout the ages.
Unscrupulous City Lord Wuyi refused to stay and came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Lord Bo Yi asked Xiaojiu again: "You seem to be very optimistic about Wujiu's practice and are unwilling to say more to him."
Xiaojiu: "If you want to cultivate immortality, you must know that there are no gods in the world who are unfaithful and unfilial."
Bo Yi: "Oh, who is loyal and filial?"
Xiaojiu: "Loyalty to things, filial piety to kindness."
Bo Yi nodded thoughtfully and asked again: "Are we going to Gushe Mountain directly?"
Xiaojiu: "After half a year after autumn, I will visit Gushe Mountain first. Do you know where Bojun Zhai Shui’s village lives and where will he pass by on weekdays? Our car will walk through his door and welcome him."
