Chapter 36 The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain
The name of the visitor was Liu Zhaojun. She had a cool and beautiful appearance, a tall figure, and the loose Taoist robe could hardly conceal the bumpy figure of an oriental woman.

"Trouble" Wu Ming sighed secretly, but on the surface he bowed and said softly: "Is there something wrong with Taoist priest?"

The female Taoist returned the salute very politely, and she said: "I would like to invite Brother Wu to investigate the beauty head incident with me. You are the one who experienced it firsthand. Maybe you can find clues based on your spiritual premonition."

Wu Ming showed distress and said: "But I have accepted the task now, and I will go down the mountain soon, so I don't have time."

"It doesn't matter. I have two people with rich experience in handling cases. If Brother Wu joins us, even if there is no contribution, everyone will still share the Dao Gong equally. You must know that there are [-] Dao Gongs if you find clues. If you solve at least [-] Dao Gongs, Each person is divided into more than a dozen exercises, which is worth several tasks."

Liu Zhaojun persuaded him in a very reasonable way, but he almost said, "Lie down the waste, sister will fly!" '

Wu Ming thought for a moment, then calmly said: "But you are talking about success, what if you get nothing?"

She smiled and said, "Regardless of success or failure, we will help you complete the task without charging a penny."

Hearing this, Wu Ming was a little moved, this job can be done, but what are they planning for such a thing that hurts themselves and benefits others?He couldn't help wondering.

"You don't have to be suspicious. Bai Kui introduced me, and we also need your help. Sometimes the intuition of a monk is the best way to handle a case." Seeing his hesitation, Liu Zhaojun said sincerely.

"It turned out to be that socialite, then I'm fine." Wu Ming suddenly said, this is true, with the fifth level of sincerity, once he detects some clues, he is confident that he can find out who is behind the scenes.

Most ascetics have this sixth sense ability, it's just a matter of strength or weakness.

Liu Zhaojun said bluntly: "Since it's been decided, we'll go back to prepare separately and set off at noon! Gather at the foot of the mountain."

Wu Ming naturally agreed, he likes this kind of vigorous and resolute people, at least the two of them came to find the parties first after accepting the task, the previous batches of Taoist disciples failed because they were too confident in their supernatural abilities, and they were delayed until they lost the opportunity to handle the case. The best chance.

When the sun was high, he went to the Spirit Beast Garden in person, pulled Ta Yan out, rode on and rushed towards the mountain gate without stopping.

After being carefully cared for by Wu Ming for three or four months, this horse beast with the blood of a monster has improved its blood and physique again, and reached the level of a warrior. Its body is covered with red scales, its muscles, skin and bones are as hard as iron, and its speed far exceeds that of the same level. Taoist.

Among other things, if you encounter danger while riding it, as long as you run past your companions, you will be safe.

Ta Yan's steps were light, and he walked across mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground. Wu Ming sat on it without feeling the bumps, and he rushed to the vicinity of the exit of Laoshan in a short time.

There were a lot of people at the foot of the mountain in the distance, he rode his horse and found two women waiting there, he immediately got off his horse, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Daozhang Liu, good afternoon."

"This is..." Wu Ming looked at the petite girl beside him, and his eyes fell on her chest. There was no way that she had too much potential to attract attention, but he quickly moved his eyes away, and secretly compared the girl's height. Not even 1.5 meters.

Liu Zhaojun introduced: "Jiang Han, the family has worked for generations, and her father's generation has solved a certain major case. She has made meritorious service to any county magistrate, and concealed Jiang Han from entering Laoshan. Don't underestimate her. She has learned seven or eight skills from her ancestors. It’s done, and there are special reconnaissance spells.”

Wu Ming understood, it turned out that this was the main force handling the case, he bowed and said, "I've seen Daoist Jiang."

Seeing the red phosphorus horse beast, the pure-looking Jiang Han couldn't help showing a hint of envy on her face, and she said a blessing: "Wu Ziwu, the little girl has admired her name for a long time."

"Haha, you're being polite." The three exchanged pleasantries for a moment, trying to get to know each other's character.

At this time, Wu Ming also knew that Liu Zhaojun was the strongest among the pedestrians. In addition to the Taiyin and Sun spells that Laoshan disciples must have, he also mastered another guardian technique. vertex.

"It's not too late, let's chat while walking." Liu Zhaojun said, and the two female Taoist disciples took out a charm from their pockets, and it fell on the ground and turned into two paper horses.

Wu Ming was amazed that this kind of paper horse can travel thousands of miles a day, but it is not easy to make. It is necessary to raise a thousand-mile horse, and draw blood and blood to draw special paper. After ninety-nine and eighty-one, peel off the horse hide and blood paper for tanning, and then use origami to turn it into a piece of paper. Talismans are available at any time.

The three got on their horses, looked at each other and nodded, and drove out of the mountain side by side. After a burst of fog, the light bloomed, and a familiar town appeared in front of them.

A group of people avoided the market town and rushed to the task site. After discussion, they decided to give priority to Wu Ming's several tasks, because these tasks were relatively urgent and happened to be on the route to the inn where the beauty's first case happened.

In the next three days, Wu Ming and others successively solved several corpses and ghost incidents that occurred in the township, all of which were at the Taoist level, without any accidents or difficulties.

In the Han Empire, every major monastic sect and even small Taoist temples had the obligation to eradicate the supernatural events that occurred in the counties and counties near their residences.

Usually, the government receives reports from the public, sends people to make a preliminary judgment, and records it on a treasure called [Slaying Demons and Demons List]. In the magic weapon of the supernatural organization such as the Guardian.

Then there are interested ascetics who take it, and the missions that no one accepts are taken care of by the government. Fortunately, extraordinary creatures such as ghosts, gods and monsters can collect a lot of spiritual materials after killing them, and ascetics generally actively participate.

So Wu Ming saw that the two of them helped him to carry out the task, so he reciprocated and gave the huge pile of spiritual materials to Liu Zhaojun and Jiang Han.

The three of them got what they needed, and everyone was happy.

…………

Soon after, the group arrived in Gaotang County.

This county is under the jurisdiction of Pingyuan County, adjacent to Jinan County, and the inn where the beauty head incident happened is in the wild.

"You Pai envoy?" Wu Ming asked puzzledly, playing with an exquisite official seal in his hand, "You Pao" he knew that one of the three elders was in charge of arresting thieves, which was somewhat similar to the Han version of rural self-government, usually held by respected elders in the village .

But this travel payment made him not understand, he was actually a decent official with a rank ratio of two hundred shi.

Liu Zhaojun, who was bidding farewell to Gaotang County Magistrate, came over and said with a smile: "When I go out for a walk, I can usually apply to the imperial court for an official status. It's cheap. If necessary, I can call all over the country to "travel payment" and "" Youshen Land "assisted in handling the case."

Jiang Han added: "That's right, it was unnecessary not to apply before, but this case is different."

Hearing this, Wu Ming's expression changed: "Then do you have any ideas? I will do my best to help."

The two of them handle affairs generously, and he will not be a jerk. Anyway, the benefits have already been taken into his mouth, and it is worth it no matter how long it takes. A gentleman's appointment only asks for a clear conscience.

"It's really a little bit of a shallow opinion." Jiang Han nodded and said: "There are many ways to cause the beauty head phenomenon, but if it is limited to the Taoist level, the range of choices will be narrowed down a lot."

Wu Ming was thoughtful, and slowly said a word: "The head of the potter's wheel?"

The windlass head is also the Flying Headman, an ordinary and weak ghost that can be separated from the head, which fits the performance of the beautiful head.

"Well, there is a possibility, you are a witness, what do you think?" Jiang Han looked at him and asked.

"I don't think so." Wu Ming said calmly: "First of all, when the Seven Evil Talisman was used to decapitate, blood energy was indeed absorbed, which shows that the beauty's head should be made of flesh and blood. Secondly, I remember that my companion beheaded hundreds of heads. , if they were all flying-headed barbarians, we wouldn't be able to leave the inn at all."

"There is another small detail. After we left, we were cursed by some kind of spell. If it weren't for the wenqu talisman to disperse it, we would have been in danger. How could ordinary ghosts cast spells."

"Then the biggest possibility left is man-made!" Jiang Han said categorically, "It should be a low-level theater artist who deliberately made a beauty's head for practicing sorcery."

"The three immortals return to the cave, and the heads are separated!" Wu Ming suddenly realized.

Both of these are tricks, using human vision and spatial differences to create an illusion. After the introduction of supernatural, folk magic is even more weird and strange, and can be perfected.

The so-called color theater master is one of the three teachings and nine streams of the rivers and lakes. The means are changeable. With the help of tools and props, people can achieve miraculous effects. Tongtian Rope" and other stunts.

"So, are the beauties we beheaded alive?" Wu Ming thought for a while, and his heart was extremely heavy. Although he didn't do it himself, the crime was heinous, and it was implicated by cause and effect...

Seeing his ugly face, Liu Zhaojun quickly reminded him: "Brother Ziwu, the colorist masters of the monks are different from those of the common people. Those prop masters have really been transformed into puppets by sorcery, and in a sense they are completely dead. "

Her words made Wu Ming feel better, but he was also shocked by how the evil monks disregarded human lives, and hundreds of women were killed just like this.

Jiang Han suggested: "We can't be so arbitrary now, we are going to investigate the crime scene."

The three of them had no opinion and set off immediately.
