"I have answered your question."
"For the sake of fairness, now it's your turn to answer my question."
When facing Jin An.
Mr. Yiyun disdains being a dishonest person who breaks his word.
Therefore, Young Master Yiyun, under the moonlight, briefly organized his words and then answered Jin An's question.
"I don't know why Mr. Jin An misunderstood my method of painting skin. Mr. Jin An must have heard of the soul leaving the body, right?"
"Actually, the art of skin painting that I practice is based on the art of distraction."
"I can distract dozens or hundreds of my souls and control dozens or hundreds of paintings at the same time."
"And I just need to find a body that can distract my soul and live in it, but this body must be a yang body, not the ghostly painted skin in Mr. Jin An's mind."
"Only the yang body and painted skin can warm and nourish my soul and mind at all times, so that my soul and mind can move freely even in the daytime, which is the most harmful to my soul."
"As for how to cultivate this Yang Body Painted Skin, it involves many secrets, and it is not convenient to reveal it to Mr. Jin An here."
Mr. Yiyun did not hide anything from Jin An.
She said everything truthfully.
After Jin An listened, his eyes looked thoughtful.
"Master Yiyun hasn't answered my other question yet. Were all members of Magistrate Zhang's family killed by you?"
Young Master Yiyun did not immediately answer Jin An's question this time. He was silent at first, and then exhaled like an orchid and said, "Young Master Jin An, do you think you can't trust me as a human being?"
"You still think I'm a murderous female demon from the cult?"
Jin An shook his head gently: "I believe it."
"As early as a month ago, Mr. Yiyun and Mr. Qibo were willing to pick up a stranger like me that night, so I trusted Mr. Yiyun and Mr. Qibo."
"But after receiving the answer from Mr. Yiyun, I became more enlightened."
"If your thoughts are not clear, everything will not go as planned, so there will always be a gap between me and Mr. Yiyun."
Mr. Yiyun smiled.
Her smile was beautiful and flawless, her smile blooming like a god: "It seems that Qi Bo and I saved a white-eyed wolf in vain that day."
"Save?" Jin An frowned.
In an instant, Jin An read a lot of information in it.
"This matter is a long story, so why not go into the study and have a long talk." Master Yiyun looked at Jin An's eyes.
Jin An's eyes were open and aboveboard, and he said without hesitation: "Okay."
Looking at Jin An, who had no hesitation and had bright eyes, Mr. Yiyun smiled again.
This shows that Jin An did not lie.
I really trust her.
Not those hypocrites who say one thing but mean another behind their backs.
And trust is the basis of everything.
Afterwards, Master Yiyun and Qi Bo walked in front.
Jin An followed behind.
The three of them walked into the study.
Just when Mr. Yiyun had just crossed the threshold and entered the study room, suddenly, as if she had been electrocuted, she jerked her right hand, and then the pretender turned back and glared at Jin An in embarrassment.
"what you do?"
Mr. Yiyun covered his right hand with his left hand. At this moment, his right hand still felt a bit burned and stinging. When he looked at the tip of his middle finger, it was slightly burnt red.
It turned out that just now, with Mr. Yiyun walking in front, when he crossed the threshold and his arms swung a little too much, Jin An took the opportunity to use the inner energy of the Black Mountain Kung Fu to hold Mr. Yiyun's fingertips.
Jin An frowned and asked instead of answering: "Master Yiyun, is this body also painted?"
"Why don't Mr. Yiyun show his true face to others?"
Young Master Yiyun glared at Jin An in annoyance. Jin An's frivolous behavior just now completely ignored the relationship between men and women. The annoyed Young Master Yiyun did not answer Jin An's question, and went into the study room in a fit of anger, leaving only
A wisp of breeze brought the smell of red moon rouge powder to the place where I was.
Did Jin An really have a sperm in his head just now?
Lost your head?
Deliberately holding the hand of the opposite sex?
Of course this is not the case.
Tonight's experience was really unbelievable. Who would have thought that there was not a single living person in Magistrate Zhang's residence in the backyard of the Yamen.
They are all painters!
Therefore, Jin An wanted to know whether Mr. Yiyun in front of him was just a fish skin? But who knew that Mr. Yiyun in front of him was still not a real person.
etc.
The Jin'an people were startled for a moment.
If Mr. Yiyun in front of him is not a real person, then doesn’t it mean that what the old Taoist said when he looked at Mr. Yiyun’s face cannot be taken seriously?
——Master Yiyun’s forehead is dark, indicating that his parents died in vain, and they did not die at the end of his life.
——There is a faint gray-black air in the children's palace, which invades the foreheads of the parents' heavenly palace, indicating that these parents died in vain, and they are inseparable from Master Yiyun.
In Jin An's mind, he remembered these two sentences that the old Taoist priest had talked with him in private.
…
As if to declare her initiative, Master Yiyun entered the study and sat directly on Magistrate Zhang's chair.
If this Taishi chair is in a government office, it can only be used by officials with good grades. It represents the largest official in Chang County and is the top leader in Chang County.
And if it is in the backyard, it means the head of the family.
However, Jin An did not expect this at this time, because he suddenly said another shocking sentence: "Master Yiyun, your painted skin should not be fish skin, right?"
"Master Yiyun, don't rush to deny it. I can still smell it with my nose whether it's fish skin or not."
Just now when Jin An used the Black Mountain Gong internal energy to burn Master Yiyun's fingertips, the burning smell that arose at that moment was different from what he smelled on County Magistrate Zhang, his wife, and his bodyguard.
Mr. Yiyun did not hide anything, he directly admitted openly: "This painted skin is indeed human skin."
"Oh." Jin An just nodded calmly.
This time, Mr. Yiyun was a little confused and at a loss. This reaction seemed a bit too plain and as calm as water?
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Master Yiyun's mind, Jin An took the initiative to explain: "As I said before, Master Yiyun and Uncle Qi saved my life. Since I have chosen to trust Master Yiyun,
, I will no longer question Mr. Yiyun. Just like a life philosophy taught to me by an old Taoist, 'Everyone has his own secrets in his heart. You don't have to be serious about everything, and you don't have to dig deep to get to the bottom of things. It's rare to be confused once in a life.'"
Mr. Yiyun's eyes showed surprise and recognition: "Daoist Chen is indeed a strange person."
Next, Mr. Yiyun began to tell the whole story in detail.
"The trumpet urn, Juyin Ground, and the coffin temple. It is said that the coffin temple is the legendary cornucopia. Unfortunately, the cornucopia is not in the coffin temple. But the seal of the coffin temple has been broken by someone long ago."
"Because Mr. Jin An has a kind heart, the words he said when he paid homage to the victims in the coffin temple, 'Good people should not suffer,' made Qi Bo and I feel touched, so we planned to help Mr. Jin An.
A handful."
"Jin An should know what happened next. Mr. Jin An got on my carriage and entered Chang County. The 'Thunder God Killing Case' encountered by chance on the road was actually an accident."
"Originally, I thought that after we parted ways that day, we would never meet each other again, but fate was unpredictable. The inn where Mr. Jin An stayed was exactly where Qi Bo and I rested in Chang County.
And the reason why I live there is because that inn is just one of my family's properties."
"It's a rare fate that happened once in a thousand years. The inn where Taoist Wu Zang stayed in Chang County happened to be the same inn as ours... So I followed the trend and brought the relics left by Taoist Wu Zang to Mr. Jin'an 'by chance'."
"If Mr. Jin An insists on asking me why I have helped so many times, it can be understood that when you bowed to the deceased father and son in the coffin temple, 'good people should not suffer', which made me and Qi Bo see the bright light in you.
Reason, the saintly demeanor of distinguishing right from wrong, will not think that because this person is an evil spirit, a corpse, or a painted skin, they will all want to harm others, and sweep them all into the heresy and treat them as aliens. And there is another one
The reason is that Mr. Jin An gave me the Red Moon Rouge that day. I don’t like to owe anyone a favor, even if it’s just a box of three coins of Red Moon Rouge, I don’t like to owe others, so I treat it as repaying the favor.”
This is what people often call good karma.
Kind of good luck.
Get good results.
Whatever the cause, there is the effect.
The cycle of cause and effect has its own destiny.
After listening to Mr. Yiyun's explanation, Jin An decided that tomorrow he would go to the rouge powder shop to find the boss who forcibly sold rouge to him that day.
This time he wanted to buy ten boxes of Red Moon Rouge in one go.
Then he must lick Mr. Yiyun hard, even if it is a hard lick on the blade, even if the hard lick is only successful once, the deal will definitely not be a loss.
That was a favor from Mr. Yiyun.
Young Master Yiyun's status is obvious at first glance. Anyone who can learn the six arts of Confucianism "ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics" will have a rich or noble family.
"So, of all the people I bumped into that night a month ago, not one of them was alive?" Jin An had several black lines hanging down his forehead.
Mr. Yiyun smiled happily.
Laughing happily.
At this time, Qi Bo, who was standing aside, finally recovered from the unforgettable emotional memories of his youth. Qi Bo couldn't hide a hint of sadness in the corners of his eyes, and then he looked at Jin An with sympathy.
If it had been an ordinary person, he would have been so frightened that night that he would have turned into a fool.
"Then what happened to Magistrate Zhang and his family?"
Mr. Yiyun did not answer immediately, but asked Jin An: "Master Jin An, do you think that how long can such a big thing as Qingqianliu and the secret hiding of gunpowder among the people be hidden based on the ability of the people alone?"
Jin An frowned when he heard this.
The truth behind Mr. Yiyun's words is intriguing.
Mr. Yiyun continued: "Young Master Jin'an should have read the letter sent by the owner of the incense shop to Taoist Wu Zang, right? I have read that letter, and Qi Bo has also read it."
"Even the owner of the incense shop could trace clues to the cornucopia all by himself to Chang County. Mr. Jin'an, do you think there will be only one force in the world chasing clues to the cornucopia? Others wouldn't have found it a few years, or even ten years earlier.
Any clues that the cornucopia appeared in Chang County?"
Ten years ago?
Jin An's scalp felt slightly numb. What happened that night ten years ago?
"Since Mr. Yiyun, you alone have replaced County Magistrate Zhang and his family, if you were not the one who killed Zhang, Mr. Yiyun, where are they now?" Jin An asked the question he had been wondering about for a long time.
Young Master Yiyun glanced at Jin An.
He spoke with a calm tone, as if he was just playing with a light feather: "According to the laws of Kangding State, if you take bribes and violate the law for more than sixty taels of silver, your crime is punishable by death."
"As for County Magistrate Zhang's wife and daughter, they were not found in the Yamen. They must have been hidden by him in a safe place elsewhere."
Although Mr. Yiyun didn't say it clearly, the meaning was self-evident. I don't know where Mr. Yiyun got the courage to directly kill a local corrupt official without submitting it to the Ministry of Punishment for trial and conviction?
Perhaps this is the reason why the aura of the scholar's fame was found in the body in the qi-watching technique?
Seeing Jin An's silence, Master Yiyun suddenly became playful and winked at Jin An, his bright eyes like a talking crescent moon: "Master Jin An, don't you really think that Magistrate Zhang still has a secret hidden among the people?"
The eldest daughter, a biological sister, has never been known to the outside world, right?"
"I 'accidentally bumped into' Mr. Jin An that night, and I got playful for a while. I was just playing a little joke with Mr. Jin An."
Jin An raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Yiyun, who was a little complacent at the moment. He was too lazy to answer the nonsense. Mr. Yiyun smiled like a fool weighing a hundred pounds.
He was currently trying to digest what he heard tonight.
When Young Master Yiyun saw that Jin An didn't answer, he was asking for trouble, so he continued: "Not long after I came to Chang County, I found out that Magistrate Zhang had been bribed. The master who stabbed the yin, stabbed the person with paper.
After the cornucopia was not found in the trumpet, urn, coffin, and temple, they all turned their attention to the thousand-year-old sacred tree Qingqianliu in Wenwu Temple in Changxian County. They thought that the cornucopia was entangled under the tree with roots, and they were planning to bury gunpowder, blow up the Qingqianliu, and dig out the cornucopia.
treasure bowl."
"But they are all wrong. There is no cornucopia in the Wenwu Temple in Chang County."
"Because the delay in notifying the city was too long, I took my place and concentrated the power of Chang County. I cooperated with Mr. Jin'an several times to encircle and suppress the assassins and Zhizha people lurking in Chang County. I originally wanted to use Pu
Monk Zhi was used as a bait to fish out the assassin who was complicit behind the scenes and stabbed people with paper. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jin An killed Monk Pu Zhi first."
"Treasure pot, what kind of treasure is that? It's really worth so many people fighting for, and so many innocent people dying."
"Ten years ago, what kind of accident happened to Qingqianliu? Why did Qingqianliu become magical overnight and its bronze leaves turned into brass leaves overnight?"
"Why did Mr. Yiyun say that Qingqianliu cannot be blown up?"
Tonight, Jin An's mind was filled with too many questions.
The more Mr. Yiyun explained, the more questions he had in mind, and it took some time to digest them.
The candles in the study continued to burn cracklingly. The night outside was pitch black and thick, but the lights inside were bright, forming a distinct and strange line between black and white.
In this silent atmosphere, Mr. Yiyun breathed out a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face changed to a solemn one.
"This matter is a bit complicated. Let's start with that shocking night ten years ago."
"Ten years ago, the green money willow was not magical overnight. It was just an ordinary green money willow that was more popular in the local area."
"Everyone worships the Qingqianliu in the Wenwu Temple, and the incense continues every year. It seems that the status of the Qingqianliu in Chang County is higher than that of the two saints, Wen and Wu. Even in Chang County, the status of the two saints is even lower.
It's worse than a 'dead wood' that won't move."
"Among the people in Chang County, the legend about Qingqianliu is passed down orally. It is said that thousands of years ago, several ancient dynasties ago, there was a great Confucian in Chang County who was not only knowledgeable but also good at riding and shooting. In order to expel foreign invasion, he
He died in battle. So the locals in Chang County built a civil and military temple specifically for this great Confucian to forever commemorate this great Confucian who was capable of both literary and military skills and died in battle. He was regarded by the people as a man of noble integrity and has been passed down for thousands of years.
for a long time.”
"The people of Changxian County chose a blessed site in Changxian County, which has open terrain, running water, and popularity, built a temple, and planted a willow tree. At that time, the Qingqianliu was still a sun tree."
"But all this was accidentally broken by a person at a Qingming temple fair ten years ago."
"The man stood under the green money willow and looked at the green money willow with its branches and leaves scattered and luxuriant. It has stood for thousands of years and has not fallen. He did not offer incense to the green money willow and worship it like other people did.
Offering incense... His face did not show piety and blessings like others, praying for the next year's civil and martial arts exams... but he scolded the treacherous people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, betrayed the country for glory, and turned the switch to let foreigners burn, kill, and plunder, but they still had the face.
Build a temple for yourself, set up a chastity tablet for yourself, let the world praise you for dying in battle, rather than surrender, and whitewash the treacherous and sycophantic people into noble and upright scholars. Others' treacherous and sycophantic ministers will be infamy for thousands of years, but you deceive the world and steal your reputation, and the more you live, the more you look like a saint."
"I wonder if Mr. Jin'an has ever heard of an idiom called "Public speech produces gold"? "Public speech produces gold, and people's words are terrible. No matter whether it is right or wrong, white or black, when everyone around you is passing on the same word from word to mouth."
When it comes to facts, what is false can become true, what is black can be washed into white, and what is pointed out as a deer can become a horse."
"When word of mouth spread too much, even I heard it a lot. In the end, I even believed that I was a great scholar with high integrity who drove away the foreign invasion and died in the battle. He really regarded himself as a man of integrity. It was exactly what he said.
As the saying goes, when the false is true, the true is also false, and when the true is false, the false is also true.”
"I wonder if Mr. Jin'an has heard of another idiom, which is called the stick on the head. On that day, the stick was given to the head, and the floating dream that had been sleeping for thousands of years was awakened overnight, and the dreamer was awakened by one word!"
"So that night, the green money willow looked magical overnight. Green means fresh air, but the green leaves turned into turbid yellow leaves overnight. As a result, the willow tree that was supposed to be a Yang tree on the blessed site turned into a man-eating Yin tree overnight.
Wood willow tree. Just like he was greedy for life and feared death thousands of years ago, betrayed his country and sought glory, ate the flesh of the people and drank the blood of the people, used his bones to build the glory and wealth of his two generations of dynasties, and promoted himself to the rank of nobility. Even if he died, he would still remain alive.
Transformation, nature is hard to change."
Unexpectedly, there were so many secrets involved in this. Jin An was shocked when he heard this.
No wonder that night when his soul came out of his body, he clearly saw a great scholar with great righteousness and iron bones, but behind him grew a thousand-year-old evil tree that was worshiped by thousands of people during the day and cannibalized people at night!
During the day it is a normal Yang coin, but at night it is a Yin coin that can slowly absorb three souls and seven souls!
Both true and false.
Both yang and yin.
Who can argue about the loyalty of a scholar? This thought should persist even if the bones are decaying.
At this time, when Jin An chewed on these words again, his mood was completely different.
The loyalty of the scholar who deceived the world and stole his reputation changed history, and it was passed down by word of mouth for thousands of years, and turned into a piece of gold by everyone, but a thousand-year-old evil tree grew up that can eat people!
