Chapter 127 This matter is not that simple [Third update please vote]
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
This principle applies no matter where it is placed.
On the street, porters have their own circle of porters, and merchants have their own circles of merchants. People pay attention to their neighbors, merchants pay attention to interests, and officials are the founders of circles.
Immortal cultivators have their own circle of immortal cultivators, and evil spirits have their own circle of evil spirits.
"Nothing is airtight in this world. As long as you do it, something will leak out." Han Xuan explained his experience in investigating cases to Xu Mo.
Then, he walked directly into a house that looked very ordinary.
The yard was extremely small and dirty, and a child was squatting on the ground and digging in the mud.
Wearing crotchless pants, the water used to mix the mud is most likely the child's own urine.
When Han Xuan and Xu Mo came in, the children ignored them and concentrated on building his mud house. Their bodies and faces were covered in mud.
In a dilapidated house, an old woman was spinning.
The room was a little dark, and there were no windows. With the door open, only half of the old woman's body could be seen. The old wooden spinning machine was spinning creakingly, and a thin thread had been wrapped around it.
If you look carefully, the old woman's eyes are milky white, which means she obviously has poor eyesight, or she is simply blind.
Let Xu Mo say, this is severe cataracts.
Han Xuan walked directly into the room, sat on a small wooden stool next to him, and motioned to Xu Mo to find a place to sit as well.
The old woman grinned when she heard the noise. Her front teeth were missing, so her smile was extremely ugly.
"Who?"
Han Xuan said: "Okay, stop acting, there is no one else here, this is Capt. Xu."
"Oh, Mr. Xu, Mr. Tou, I have a weak body and poor eyesight, so I won't salute you."
"No, no need." Xu Mo waved his hand quickly and looked at the place curiously.
"There have been a lot of things going on in Kyoto recently. Tell me what you know." Han Xuan said at this time.
Xu Mo reacted immediately.
Han Xuan came here to inquire about the news.
This old woman has a reputation.
Take a closer look.
Understood.
There was an extremely hidden trace of evil in this old woman. She was obviously good at disguising, and she didn't even notice it when she first came in.
But just like what Han Xuan said, as long as you observe carefully, you can tell whether it is a human or a monster, whether it is a spirit or a monster.
And the more you observe, the more strange things you find.
The old woman's lower body, hidden in the darkness, was very fat and deformed.
The thread she spun actually came from her lower body.
"Spider? Spin your own silk and use it to spin thread? I'll go, this is a good business, and you can make a lot of money." After Xu Mo saw it clearly, he admired it very much.
I secretly gave this old woman a thumbs up.
People earn their own living and work hard to get rich. This is a model among demons.
"There is a Zhengqi Department in Kyoto, so it is naturally peaceful and stable. How can anything happen?" The old woman wanted to pretend to be confused, but Han Xuan was not used to this problem.
"I pretended I didn't hear what you said just now. Please think clearly and say it again."
It can be heard that although Han Xuan's tone is calm, there is a hint of murderous intent.
The old woman thought for a moment, then grinned and said, "I'm not thinking well, so I forgot. Are you talking about Liang Shangshu?"
Han Xuan said no.
"Then, it should be about the Weapon Refining Pavilion?"
"The direction is right, keep talking!"
"I know a little bit about this. Of course, it's a rumor. You can tell whether it's true or not. You, Capt. Han, can naturally tell the difference. I heard that a eunuch ran away from the palace last night. He was neither alive nor dead. And this eunuch, go
When I passed the Weapon Refining Pavilion, I heard that something was lost in the palace, and it was an awl!"
Han Xuan looked unhappy.
"Any more?"
"No, I only know so much. Originally, I planned to keep these things in my stomach, and it was you, Mr. Han, who came here. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even dare to mention them."
When Han Xuan heard this, he immediately got up and walked out.
Xu Mo glanced at the eerie old woman and followed her out.
He figured it out.
The investigation here also requires an ‘informant’, and Han Xuan’s informant is the spider demon old woman.
This is the importance of circles.
There are some things that can only be discovered by entering this circle.
Outside, Han Xuan looked solemn.
"Brother, I don't think this matter is that simple. The second pavilion master dug a hole for us. If I had known it, I shouldn't have eaten the bear's paws."
Xu Mo didn't quite understand.
But it seems that some clues and signs have been seen.
This matter involves both the eunuch and the palace, so it is obviously related to the palace.
Whose territory does the palace belong to?
Emperor of Daxia.
You can't think deeply about things. The more you think about it, the more something is wrong.
"But I've already eaten it. It's impossible to spit it out now, but I can pull it out!" Xu Mo made a nonsense statement, and Han Xuan burst into laughter when he heard it.
After making fun of it, it’s time to worry or worry.
"Let's go back to the office."
Han Xuan greeted and Xu Mo followed.
The two returned to the deserted Zhengqi Department.
This place is lively at night, but during the day it looks like a haunted house.
The yard was overgrown with weeds and had a musty smell.
Who would have thought that this is the center where the evil spirits of various states can be suppressed?
In the past, I wouldn't have dared to think about it.
Xu Mo was in the lobby in front yesterday and is very familiar with it.
I haven’t been there since.
There is a house and a loft.
Han Xuan said that the Xiansheng Pavilion is at the back and contains many books. It is a holy place where the spirits of the ancestors are sent. It is also a forbidden place and no one can approach it.
In addition, you can go to other places in the ‘Zhengqi Division’.
"Lao Pi is in that room. Brother, you go find Lao Pi, and I'll go find the boss. Don't get too involved in the matter of the Refining Pavilion. I'll discuss it with the boss first." Han Xuan told Xu in the yard.
silent.
Xu Mo nodded.
Han Xuan hurriedly went to find the boss, while Xu Mo went to find Lao Pi.
Lao Pi's house is really dark.
There are no windows and there are many tall bookcases. After entering, it is obvious that the temperature has dropped a lot.
Lao Pi is a ghost.
But this is no ordinary ghost.
Han Xuan said that Lao Pi also wanted to become a saint, but failed.
Originally, it would be good to settle for the next best thing and become a 'Wandering God', but Lao Pi has lofty ambitions and is unwilling to do so.
After walking inside for a while, I saw a large candlelight deep in the dark room.
At this moment, Lao Pi was lying on the desk reading.
That's really hard work.
There are so many books in this place, it's a bit like walking into the warehouse of a printing factory. Basically, everywhere you can stay, there are books piled up.
There are even wooden slips.
"Master Pi!"
Xu Mo shouted.
Lao Pi was startled. He looked up and saw Xu Mo. He was confused at first, but then he seemed to remember that this was the new second arrester, and he stood up to greet him.
"Captain Xu, is there something wrong?"
"Yes, I want to find someone."
"Is it a human, a ghost, or an evil spirit?"
"It should be that he is a person, a Taoist, a cultivator who cultivates three animals and returns to one." Xu Mo gave a rough description based on his understanding of Taoist Lingzhao.
"There are not many immortal cultivators in Kyoto who practice the practice of cultivating the Three Animals to Return to One. Are their cultivation levels high? How high is their Taoism?"
"It's very powerful. I killed one of his 'sacrifice', the Purple Mansion Nascent Soul Dacheng Realm, and even built a flesh and blood canopy."
"That's awesome." Lao Pi thought for a while, clapped his hands, and a green-skinned kid came out of the darkness. He looked very similar to the black-skinned kid who lit the lamp for the boss.
Just the skin color is different.
Lao Pi said a bunch of nightmare words to the green kid.
Xu Mo can understand.
That is to ask the other party to bring the roster that meets the conditions.
Go back quickly, kid, and bring back a stack of dusty rosters.
Lao Pi opened it, took out a pen, and circled the names on it.
"These meet the requirements, but I don't know which one it is. I need Mr. Xu to check it out himself."
Xu Mo took a look and saw that it had a name and an address, so it was easy to handle.
