Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun immediately bowed their hands respectfully and saluted, "Juniors have met seniors, and we came here under the guidance of Qi Lang."
The snake man stood up completely, and Wen Xiaoyun was surprised to find that the snake man stood taller than her.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but although his face hasn't changed, his straight body has gained an air of calmness and dignity.
It is so much different from the wretched and hunched appearance before.
The snake man looked at the letter in his hand again, and finally turned around and walked towards the hut, saying without looking back, "Follow me."
After saying that, he stepped on the thick fallen leaves and walked out of the woods.
Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun looked at each other, quickly made a decision and followed.
Back in the house, the snake man walked to the box in the outer room, took out the washbasin from the box, filled it with water and washed his face.
Later, I took out some bottles and jars of powder, as well as wigs and beards.
He walked to the back room, stood in front of the table, took a bronze mirror, measured it and applied powder carefully, and finally put on a fake beard and fake white hair. While putting on makeup, he read Qilang's letter. Wen Xiaoyun and Yin
Nuo stood beside him silently, waiting silently for him to speak.
After reading it, the snake man put the letter on the table and said without raising his head: "I am She Pi, the person you are looking for, but I am not interested in your business, so you can leave."
Wen Xiaoyun glanced at Yin Nuo anxiously, and Yin Nuo immediately stood up, took a step forward and said, "Senior She, why did you reject Qi Lang?"
She Pi took out a white fake beard and wig set from the box, glanced sideways at Yin Nuo, "I'm not rejecting Qilang, I'm rejecting you."
As he spoke, he turned around again, put the wig on the table, dipped his hands in the water in the basin, and tidied up his originally dry and thin hair.
Wen Xiaoyun also stood up, "But what can the juniors not do to make the seniors angry?"
After arranging her hair, She Pi picked up the wig and put it on carefully. She sneered and said, "It's not that you are rude, but that you want my life. People don't do secret things. What I do, I can follow you."
admit.
I was the one who instigated the housekeeper of the Ning Mansion to kidnap the young master, showed him how to do it, and sent people to help him take care of the young master;
I was also the one who revealed the news about Du You and his daughter to Jiulang and Yuanniang’s husband;
As an expert outside the world, I approached Qiu Renyi and Shopkeeper Hao respectively. While introducing Qiu Renyi to Tian Qilang, a master of thousands of arts, I revealed to Shopkeeper Hao that the person who can create a winter and summer scene is me.
In short, in those big cases you investigated, I was the one hiding behind, making plans, strategizing, and winning the battle thousands of miles away.
But even though one person is responsible for the work, I will not be stupid enough to seek death.
Carrying these charges, I followed you down the mountain and returned to the Yanzhou government to surrender. Aren't I seeking death? Who are you? Are you my mother? Why should I hand over my life and property to you?"
After saying that, She Pi smoothed down her silver-white wig. At this time, she already had the image of a virtuous and spiritual person.
Wen Xiaoyun frowned fiercely.
In fact, she was very suspicious of why Tian Qilang wrote this letter to She Pi from the beginning.
Even if Tian Qilang and She Pi had a life-long friendship, there was no reason to ask She Pi to die.
But the series of accidents just outside the hospital and She Pi's current attitude and words had already given her the answer.
She finally understood Tian Qilang's intention.
She also knew how to persuade She Pi. The only thing she lacked was a little primer to start the lobbying work.
Thinking of this, she frowned and looked carefully at the furnishings in the room.
Since Tian Qilang is so confident, the medicine introduction must be in the open. As long as she looks carefully, she will definitely find the clues.
Wen Xiaoyun here was searching everywhere with full force, but Yin Nuo on the other side was the first to speak, "Senior She, this junior will never dare to ask senior to die, and similarly, Qian Lang, who has a life-long friendship with senior, will never
Harm your seniors.
We all know that the senior has a special status, and in these cases, he did not take direct action. The junior thinks that the seniors also made plans and plans for the housekeeper of Ning Mansion, Jiu Lang, Shopkeeper Hao and Qiu Renyi at that time.
He didn't directly tell them to follow suit and initiate murders one after another.
The junior asked the senior to come down the mountain just to clarify the context of the case and find the real murderer."
She Pi, who was holding a white beard and sticking it on his face bit by bit, suddenly stiffened when he heard this.
He sat up straight and looked up at Yin Nuo, "What you said is right. I never told them that I was going to commit murder. I just inadvertently revealed to them some information about my unique skills.
But what do the two sentences before and after you mean? Why can’t I understand them?"
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Yin Nuo's lips, "Are the seniors trying to teach the juniors?"
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun clenched her fists unconsciously. The beginning and end of Yin Nuo's words just now were exactly the introduction she wanted.
It seems that Yinnuo has thought of everything she thought of here, and even thought of it more comprehensively than she did.
She unconsciously pricked up her ears, looked sideways at Yin Nuo, and listened carefully to his answer.
Yinnuo put one hand behind his back, walked towards the door casually, raised his hand to point to the door, and said with a smile: "Senior is a famous house robber. With this status, as long as he does not commit the felony of rape and murder,
All other charges will be exempted if you enter the yamen."
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes widened in surprise. What is household robbery? How can it be so fraudulent?
Its efficacy is comparable to that of the sword above.
At this moment, Wen Zhuyun's gentle voice came from the brain waves again, "It's not your fault that you didn't find the medicine introduction. It's because you don't understand ancient customs and habits.
I will explain it to you here, so as not to show my cowardice in the future and damage my reputation, Wen Junzi.
As the name suggests, the household registration of thieves is to recruit and reorganize the household registration of bandits and thieves. It was first when the government subdued a group of thieves with great hands and eyes. In order to facilitate management, they set up the household registration of thieves separately. Because these bandits were very capable.
Because they were afraid that they would break away from the government's control and return to their old business, the government gave them many privileges to appease them. They said the punishment was not as good as that of a doctor, but these thieves also enjoyed the preferential treatment of impunity for small crimes.
In "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", which is regarded as a classic by your later generations, there is a story about a house robber. There is a vixen who steals and breaks the law. Finally, he is caught by an expert and the government. At the critical moment of life and death, the vixen turns out to be a big man.
He shouted "I am a house robber" with the intention of exempting myself from liability. It was a joke for a while.
To this day, those who can be given the special status of house robbers by the government are still strong men with almost universal abilities. Therefore, house robbers are not only not a term of shame, but a manifestation of status."
Wen Xiaoyun blinked in disbelief.
It turns out that this house thief is so particular. It's really eye-opening.
"Wen Zhuyun, can you tell me in advance about the customs and folklore knowledge unique to ancient times?"
Wen Zhuyun paused for a moment, then let out a disdainful chuckle, "Do you think it's possible?"
Wen Xiaoyun:···
Wen Zhuyun said coldly, "You reminded me that from today on, I will give you another study task of various ancient books, starting with "The Collection of Abandoned Wrongs".
Wen Xiaojun had blood in her chest. She was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep, so how could she find time to read a book.
She puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "If you can pull me into the gap of time and space at any time and study while the outside world is still, then there is still room for discussion."
Wen Zhuyun: "That goes against your genius. The busiest people have the most time. You can adjust the time yourself. In addition, I will give you a list of the ancient books you need, and you can free up your private money to buy them yourself.
"
If it weren't for the fear of scaring Yin Nuo and She Pi in the real world, Wen Xiaoyun would really have spurted out this old blood.
It’s okay if she doesn’t have time to help her. She even has to buy her study books herself.
What use do I need from your space-time system?!!!
However, Wen Zhuyun didn't give her the slightest chance to entangle him. After releasing the task, he quickly disappeared from the brainwaves, leaving no trace behind.
Wen Xiaoyun had no choice but to return to the real world.
Here, when She Pi heard what Yin Nuo said, he suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Haha, after all, he is from the government, and this little trick can't be hidden from you." After laughing, his white beard had just been pasted on.
He stroked his beard and shrugged his shoulders, "But even if I have the identity of a robber, what good will it do to go down the mountain with you? Why can you ask me to go down the mountain with you like this?
Suffer?"
This time, it was Wen Xiaoyun who stepped forward.
She took a step forward, looked directly at She Pi, raised her head confidently and said, "The one who can convince senior to take the hard walk down the mountain is not us two juniors, but you yourself, senior."
She Pi frowned unconsciously, turned to look at Wen Xiaoyun, stroked his snow-white beard, and couldn't help but chuckle, "How come it's just me?"
Wen Xiaoyun and Yin Nuo looked at each other and smiled, and said: "I think if ordinary people had committed these cases, even if they were not directly related, they would never admit it to the government easily.
In fact, the senior himself told everything before the two of us even asked.
Generally speaking, there are two purposes for doing this.
The first type is that the senior did not do those things at all, but deliberately said so to confuse the facts of the case. Either to plead guilty for others, or for other purposes, to deliberately confuse the truth of the case.
The second type is that those things were indeed done by the seniors. Frankly speaking, it is because the seniors have a very high self-esteem. Completing those shocking cases, or even impossible cases, is definitely a great success for the seniors.
The best opportunity to make millions.
Seniors like excitement and challenges, and they like to do things that are difficult for other people to achieve in order to gain psychological satisfaction."
She Pi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? In your opinion, which one am I?"
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes were blazing, and his expression became more and more calm, "Senior had clearly seen the two of us outside just now, and even when the two of us first walked into the woods, senior had already spotted us.
But the senior still appeared in front of us, deliberately eating raw snakes and acting like an animal, clearly enjoying the fun of scaring others.
Doing this is actually very risky. If the two of us are frightened out of our wits and treat our senior as a monster and fight with all our strength, it will bring certain danger to our senior no matter what.
Obviously we can choose to hide in the dark and monitor us more securely, but the senior has to go against the trend and face the difficulties. Such a radical character is very similar to the second situation in the corollary. So the junior wants to take the initiative to go down the mountain.
Exposing everything you have done to the world, such an exciting and thrilling thing, must be something that the senior himself particularly wants to do."
She Pi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked slightly stern, "Isn't it more like the first situation to deliberately appear in front of you and show your true face? Because you have to carry a case that you have never done on your back, so you have to use strange words
The posture deliberately attracts your attention."
Wen Xiaoyun shook his head, "It was a complete surprise that we found Tian Qilang. If we had the slightest chance, we would not have found him.
Finally getting Shichiro's approval was an unexpected surprise.
And you are the person introduced by Qilang. It is impossible to get the news before him, see through our intentions, and make preparations in advance. Therefore, the first speculation can be overturned from Qilang."
She Pi slapped the table hard and said excitedly: "Well done, I made you guess everything correctly. This is really fun."
Wen Xiaoyun added calmly: "According to the junior's speculation, although the seniors are behind these cases, the benefits to the seniors are not obvious for each case. Although the seniors may just be doing it for reputation,
I do so many things just for stimulation.
However, the Ningfu Yuanbao goblin case, the Du family bank silver fire dragon case, the case of Du Ying'er's dismemberment, and the case of the governor's son having his head changed by a white dragon. The perpetrators and victims involved have different identities, and the experiences are complicated. If you want to ignore these cases,
In Hubei, everyone, black or white, was gathered together, and the seniors still lacked a reason to choose.
Thinking about the power of the Wenxiang Sect hidden in every case, I think that the cause, combined with the last point my brother just said, is that the real murderer of all cases is the Wenxiang Sect."
She Pi stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes. As expected, the people who can find me here are not ordinary people."
Yinnuo also smiled, "Senior, are you willing to go down the mountain to help this junior solve the case?"
She Pi stroked his beard for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at Yin Nuo with a smile, "What your wife just said is right. I am indeed a person who loves excitement and loves to look for trouble."
When he heard the word "daughter-in-law", Yinnuo's face suddenly turned red.
Wen Xiaoyun almost fell down.
How could he see through his daughter's identity? And how could she be Yinnuo's wife?
Just as she was about to explain and refute, Yinnuo grabbed her hand and gave her a quick wink.
It was as if he was telling her that it was important to solve the case. He finally persuaded She Pi to come out, and now everything he said was right.
Don't interrupt him. It would be bad if you ruin his interest and ask him to change his mind.
Wen Xiaoyun opened her mouth hesitantly, but finally reluctantly accepted Yin Nuo's suggestion.
After all, solving the case is the most important thing.
Seeing Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaojun flirting in front of him, She Pi couldn't help but laugh again. He loved teasing young lovers who were not yet married.
After all, in this world, it is not easy to find two young men and women who are so thick-skinned that they flirt in front of others without getting married.
However, this level of novelty is not enough for She Pi to make any further comments.
His interest is still in serial shocking cases.
He did not notice the exchanges between Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun, and continued the previous topic: "Wen Xiangjiao found me at that time, and they also showed how difficult these things were, and used large sums of money and provocations to stimulate me to come out.
But they made a mistake. Those cases are so difficult that they are rare. Even if you don’t give me money, I will definitely do it!" The more She Pi said, the brighter the eyes became, as if those things were just a difficult math problem.
Waiting for his genius to solve it, "I not only have to do it, but I also have to do it flawlessly and without any flaws. I want to make it a major case that can shake up the entire Lu land and make it the biggest case in the world!"
Wen Xiaoyun nodded very obediently and cooperatively, "Senior is talking about an outsider who can design such a shocking case, especially one who can be bribed by yellow and white common things?"
She Pi grinned, "Of course, I prefer a business that is exciting and can make a lot of money."
Wen Xiaoyun hurriedly followed the trend and echoed: "That is necessary. An expert who is not imprisoned by worldly standards is the real expert! With money in hand, I have the world. With money, I can do more.
Experiments and come up with more sophisticated designs. Senior, you are definitely the most sober in the world. Everyone in the world is drunk, but you are the only one who is sober!"
This series of rainbow fart shots was very useful to She Pi.
He sat down, patted his belly with a smile, and said with great satisfaction, "Oh, the people who can find me are not mortals, but they are visionary and knowledgeable."
Seeing that the time was right, Wen Xiaoyun hurriedly got off the slope and walked quickly to the seat in front of She Pi. She leaned over and sat down, looking up at She Pi with bright little stars in her eyes: "That is, to be honest with you senior, we
I have had several dealings with the Wenxiang Sect. Even if they even stole the Dragon Ball from Nine Turns, their sect would send out the masters of the Demon Sect, Feng Sect, and Jin Sect to take action. Unexpectedly, I still lost to my cousin in the end.
Well, with their ability, let alone setting up such a series of shocking crimes, I am afraid that even a mechanism in a winter or summer scene can kill them.
That's why the junior gave up the idea that you were also a member of the Wenxiang Cult after meeting the senior.
You must know that the entire Wenxiang Sect only has four gates. For a small case, three gate masters are sent. The Wenxiang Sect is really not worthy of you.
You see, you designed so many major cases earlier, which is actually not the most exciting thing. What is really exciting is that you designed the case, and in the end you personally went to the Yamen to tell the truth about all the agencies to the mortal world. That is the only way.
It is truly unprecedented and unprecedented, the best in the world and the best in the world!"
She Pi listened very enthusiastically, tapping the table with one hand, and the more he listened, the happier he became. When he heard the next part, his smile faltered slightly, and he looked at Wen Xiaoyun with raised eyebrows: "You are such a ghostly girl, you are so evil.
There are a lot of them! But they suit my temper and I like them."
Wen Xiaoyun leaned her head forward, looking forward to it (☆▽☆), "Senior, is this what you promised to junior?"
Wen Xiaoyun's cute look really made She Pi laugh a little. He crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows with a smirk, "I can promise you."
Seeing Wen Xiaoyun repeatedly flattering her and pretending to be cute, Yin Nuo was speechless.
He stretched out his hand to hold Wen Xiaoyun's shoulders, pulled her back, and took the initiative to answer: "Senior, are there any additional conditions?"
She Pi nodded, raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, and said meaningfully: "There are indeed conditions. But don't worry, it's not a difficult matter, as long as it suits my taste."
Wen Xiaoyun straightened up and replied solemnly: "Senior has a request, but it doesn't matter. The two of us will do our best and bow for senior, no matter what, to show our sincerity." As he said this, Wen Xiaoyun's face showed some shamelessness.
With a smile on his face, he said, "It's just that this junior has an important case, so we can't waste much time. Senior, can you please come down the mountain with us first? I'll definitely do what I promised you in two days."
She Pi frowned and shook his head, "No, no, this is not okay. If you don't agree to my request, I will never go down the mountain."
Wen Xiaoyun and Yin Nuo looked at each other, and Yin Nuo immediately stepped forward in a tacit understanding and said: "In this case, I have no choice but to ask senior to speak quickly, and the two of us will figure out a solution."
She Pi was finally satisfied, "Let's start with my life experience."
Wen Xiaoyun smiled bitterly. The more anxious they were, the more tormenting She Pi would be.
She Pi continued: "I had these monster eyes as soon as I came out of my mother's womb. My family was so worried that they thought I had been reincarnated by a monster. A few days after I was born, I was sent to a temple.
It’s just that in the temple, I was treated as a monster, but my master was kind to me. Not only did I read thousands of books, but he also taught me all kinds of skills. But the good times did not last long. When I was thirteen years old, my master
Just take a seat and ascend.
Everyone in the temple said that it was me who hindered Master's practice, which caused his untimely death. There was no room for me in the temple. In anger, I went up the mountain and planned to open a place for myself. No.
I thought that I would meet a bunch of stupid bandits, and it didn't take much effort for me to become the King of the Mountain. But to become the King of the Mountain, apart from fighting and killing, eating and drinking every day, it was very boring. It didn't take long for me to start searching for magic tricks everywhere.
A strange book, a mechanism that is difficult to study. Unexpectedly, I found an ancient book halfway through.
Ancient books say that a long time ago, humans, gods and monsters coexisted in this world.
People at that time had immortal bodies, but they had to undergo the pain of molting every few years.
The human race couldn't bear it anymore, so they went to pray to the gods to save them from the never-ending torture of shedding their skin.
The gods agreed to the human race's request, sparing the human race the ordeal of shedding their skin, and turned their hands on the snake race. However, the human race also lost the ability to live forever."
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun opened her eyes wide in surprise.
This statement is really new.
Then he turned to look at Yin Nuo aside, only to see him holding his chin with one hand, thinking about it and saying, "This junior has also heard Master say this."
She Pi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Your master is not a mortal either."
Wen Xiaoyun asked curiously, "What happened next? Does this statement have anything to do with you eating snakes?"
She Pi nodded and said: "Yes, because I was born with snake eyes, I am particularly interested in the myths and legends of snakes. Later, I searched many ancient books and found out that there is a kind of person who is chosen by heaven. If he practices with snakes, he will eat raw snakes.
, and then use the secret elixir to refine it, you can return to your ancestors and return to the state of immortality.
Of course, immortality is not very attractive to me. What makes me want to stop is returning to the snake-man state.
So I started eating snakes to practice martial arts. Unexpectedly, the first time I ate snakes, not only was it not disgusting at all, but it also felt very sweet and crisp. As soon as I ate it, I became addicted. Because of this, I became even more convinced that I was the chosen one.
Because I also tried other creatures, and as soon as I took a bite, I felt the stench was so fishy that it was hard to swallow."
Wen Xiaoyun frowned and said thoughtfully: "Senior asked the two of us to do it. Could it be related to this matter?"
She Pi smiled and nodded, "But, how about you, little girl, you are so smart. Just one point will reveal it."
Over the years of eating snakes, my skin has indeed become more and more snake-like, but at the same time, my body has become weaker and weaker. I thought that it might be a critical moment of transformation between life and death. In order to ensure that I can survive it safely
During this catastrophe, I need a legend of immortality to be with me."
Wen Xiaoyun blinked in confusion, "The legend of immortality?"
She Pi's expression became solemn, "Whether it's the medicine of immortality, the saying of immortality, or the ancient divine object of immortality, it's all fine."
Wen Xiaoyun looked at Yin Nuo in embarrassment. If Wen Xiaoyun could help with other matters, she could really only rely on Yin Nuo for the ancient legends and folk customs.
Yinnuo also had a solemn look on his face.
"It's very difficult to find the legend of immortality within half an hour. Senior, how can you be tolerant? We will definitely go find it for you in two days."
She Pi's face suddenly darkened, and her eyes looking at Yin Nuo began to become cold and cold, "Don't talk about two days later, don't talk about going down the mountain to help you testify, I won't help you find immortality today.
Legend has it that you two will never leave this door alive!"
