The Legend of Immortal Court

Chapter 26
Fang family.

Master Fang took care of everything, stopped, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and let out a breath slowly.

In the dead of night, people are quiet, but the heart is not quiet.

Su Ting's words always echoed in his ears, even when he was dealing with official duties just now, he couldn't calm down.

"How can a person kill someone in prison?"

Fang Qing looked outside, full of bewilderment.

In his eyes, cultivators are certainly extraordinary, they can determine Fengshui, predict good and bad luck, and change fortunes, so they should be respected, but they have never been such frightening figures.

But Su Ting's words made him very uneasy.

Is there such a thing?
Fang Qing thought so.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by an urgent voice.

"My lord, I have something important to report in my humble position."

"Come in."

Fang Qing's heart trembled.

I saw the study room being pushed away, the master hurriedly approached, handed over a piece of thin paper, and described what happened tonight.

Fang Qing took the tissue paper, glanced at it, and was stunned on the spot, speechless for a while.

"My lord?" The master called out one after another, "My lord?"

"It's okay." Fang Qing's expression was complicated, his eyes were in a daze, and he put down the thin paper in his hand, and a storm arose in his heart. For Su Ting, in addition to his respect, there was also a trace of fear in his heart.

As stated on the paper, it was exactly what he had in mind.

The night watchman quickly killed the son of the Wang family.

Zhao Wo was arrested on the spot, and was interrogated immediately, but Zhao Wo was confused and incoherent, and only said that it was a monster, which was not true at all.

On-site investigation, the sky is full of dust, but no trace of the third person can be found!

The news spread that night.

"This……"

Fang Qing looked at the thin paper with a complicated expression, and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the master couldn't help calling again.

Fang Qing waved his hand and said, "You go down first, I want to be quiet."

When the master heard this, he didn't dare to bother him, so he withdrew immediately.

After the master left, Fang Qing let out his breath slowly, as if exhaling the extremely complicated taste in his heart.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the sentence that Su Ting said in prison that day.

"Speaking of which, I'm imprisoned here tonight, if there is a murder case outside, it won't be found on me, right?"

The young boy's immature face, his indifferent tone of talking and laughing, and that calm and leisurely voice, at this moment, appeared before his eyes again.

However, this time, Fang Qing felt more direct and horrified.

Su Ting is in prison.

So Zhao Wo killed the prince of the Wang family?
Is this a trick of deception?

Or ghosts and gods?
The scene was full of dust, covering all traces.

In other words, under the dusty sky, there was still no trace of the third person, which proved that Zhao Wo and Mr. Wang were the only ones present.

If it was really what Su Ting did, this move can be called killing people invisible!

This is a cultivator who can use magical powers?
Is this the incomparably mysterious spell of a cultivator?

I don't know how long it took before I saw the lord sigh and whispered: "The methods of the gods are mysterious and unpredictable, and they are really like the punishment of heaven."

……

Enter Yuan Yu's mansion.

The martial artist who was known as the head catcher with an iron face, looked at the news from his subordinates, and his face was extremely gloomy.

Why did Zhao Wo kill Mr. Wang for no reason?
What is the reason behind it?
He always felt that there must be something hidden in it.

Thinking of the aspect of "hidden feelings", he couldn't help but think of the young man who was framed by the prince of the Wang family and captured by Zhao Wo himself yesterday.

The murderer Zhao Wo and the murdered prince were all in contact with Su Ting yesterday.

If it weren't for Mr. Fang's abnormality, he would never have thought of Su Ting.

But after hearing Master Fang's words, he felt dislike for Su Ting, a young man who played with ghosts and magic. At this moment, the strange smiling young man naturally appeared in his mind.

"A cultivator?"

Yuan Gui said in a low voice, "Is this his demonic art?"

At this moment, he almost wanted to interrogate Su Ting and ask everything.

But he also knew that Su Ting was locked in prison, no matter how the matter was investigated, Su Ting could not be found out.

Today's Dazhou has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the laws and regulations are perfect. Evidence is necessary to convict everything.If there is no evidence, it is tantamount to disregarding human life. Even if he is a government arrester, he cannot act arbitrarily.

When Su Ting was imprisoned before, Yuan Gui felt that there was something else hidden, but felt that it was difficult to find evidence that Mr. Wang had framed him, and since the matter was not serious, he did not investigate in detail.

But Prince Wang was killed, involving homicide, and the theft was a small matter, in his eyes, it was different.

"Killing people with sorcery is so vicious!"

Yuan Gui felt resentful in his heart, but he didn't know how to act.

This move is very likely to be done by the young man named Su Ting, but there is no evidence left. According to the law, there is no such thing as "magic", and there is no way to convict Su Ting with "sorcery". crime.

This made Yuan Gui extremely angry.

He is a martial artist, and he followed a court official in his early years.

This civil official is also from Confucianism, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and reprimands superstition, and under his influence, Yuan Gui also dislikes people who practice Taoism. During this period, he followed this lord to handle cases and killed some evildoers A person of Taoism.

The so-called immortals are only capable of playing tricks, how can they match his martial arts?
However, today's emperor believes in the theory of ghosts and gods, and values ​​​​the Taoists, so that the government and the opposition are imitating them, and the Taoists, the Buddhists, are given preferential treatment.

Not only Fang Qing, but even Yuan Gui's mentor, a master of internal strength, also believed in gods and Buddhas, prayed for blessings and longevity, and always treated Feng Shui magicians and Taoists with courtesy.

In the end, his benefactor even neglected martial arts, abandoned his family business, and searched for immortals to visit Taoism.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Gui is full of unkindness towards cultivators.

"Pretend to be a ghost, hit my hand, and sooner or later I will slash you with a knife!"

Yuan Gui exhaled, and slapped the paper in his hand on the table.

According to the records on the paper, there is no trace at all around, only Zhao Wo killed the prince of the Wang family.

But Yuan Gui probably understood that if the other party really used magic, it would not be difficult to erase the traces.

The area around the scene is full of dust, which is a means to cover up the traces.

Even when he did it, with the technique of ghosts and gods, there was no trace left at all.

Yuan Yu gritted his teeth slightly, and secretly said: "The law of the Great Zhou, if it fails to supervise such monsters, it is actually not perfect."

……

temple.

Old Song held a broom and was cleaning the dust.

Qingping stood behind him and finished what he heard last night.

For a while, there was silence.

"Catch Zhao Wo, kill the young master of the Wang family." After a while, Qingping continued: "This matter probably has something to do with Su Ting, but he has just entered this sect and has not yet been able to cast spells, and he is in prison. Among them, how can this be done?"

"When you first become true qi, you can prolong your life, but you can't touch your body, so you can't cast spells. It's just that there are thousands of methods in the world, and there are endless mysteries. There are always exceptions." Song Lao glanced at Qingping, and said in a deep voice: " In our temple, this kind of method has been handed down, allowing those who have started to cast spells reluctantly."

"Elder Song taught him this method?" Qingping asked in surprise.

"In the book of inheritance, I borrowed him to read it, so it can be regarded as passed on to him." Song Lao paused for a while, and said: "He has not yet cultivated to the second level, but after all, he has a ray of true energy. I am afraid that according to the The method I gave him was to use the Five Elements Armor. However, the price for using the Five Elements Armor is to cut off a wisp of his true energy and lose a wisp of his hard work."

"The price is so heavy?" Qingping couldn't help being horrified when he heard the words, he took a breath and said: "He has just entered this sect, and his morality is shallow, how dare he harm himself?"

Elder Song turned around and took a look, and said lightly: "The old man is also puzzled. Although he has some opportunities to start cultivating, but the following steps are difficult... This young man cut off a ray of true energy in his body, and hurt him again. As well as my own painstaking efforts, I will definitely be sick and weak within a few days, such a price is a bit too high."

After a pause, Elder Song continued: "According to the old man's speculation, there is probably only a wisp of true energy in his body. If it really spreads out and consumes the true energy, then he can only be a mortal."

Hearing this, Qingping felt regretful in his heart.

But the next moment, he thought of the confident young man's face, and couldn't help but say, "It's possible that he didn't look like he would use a broken arm to survive, and a person like him wouldn't be so reckless." fierce."

Elder Song nodded slightly and said, "This is exactly what this old man is wondering about."

As he said that, Song Lao seemed to think of something, and said: "Go to the scene and have a look. Even though the Five Elements Armor is transformed, as long as you pay a little attention, there will be no traces left, but you already have Taoism, and it is not difficult to see the clues...you Go and look around the cell where Su Ting is held. If my guess is correct, he borrowed earth and rocks to use the Five Elements Armor, so the earth and rocks around the cell must have been taken out by the Five Elements Armor. The traces must still be there."

Hearing this, Qingping was a little taken aback.

Elder Song waved his hand slightly, then remembered something, and laughed in a low voice: "With Fang Qing's eyes, after this incident, he has recognized Su Ting's ability, and he will probably release Su Ting. In a few days, wait Su Ting is here to visit, if he doesn't come, you go again and invite Su Ting over."

Hearing this, Qingping's heart shuddered, and he nodded quickly.

Because he heard clearly what Song Lao said, he used the word "please".

Last time he told Fang Qing that Su Ting was invited by Song Lao, but in fact, when Song Lao ordered him to find Su Ting, he never used this honorific.

This time, Songlao spoke in person, starting with the word "please".

……

Wang family.

A burst of chicken and dog jumping.

When Wang Yuanwai heard that his only son had been killed, he almost failed to come up and passed out on the spot.

After half an hour, the doctor came out of the room.

But in the room, Wang Yuanwai's extremely furious roar kept coming out, and countless servants in the courtyard were trembling and terrified.

"You two bastards, if you can't protect your master, what use are you for?"

"Drag these two slaves down, stick to kill!"

"Investigate that arrester named Zhao Wo thoroughly, and his whole family must be buried with him!"

Members of the Wang family were hysterical, as if they were insane.

At this moment, a steward reported tremblingly and full of fear: "Master, someone from the Sun family is here."

"The people from the Sun family are here?"

Wang Yuanwai fell silent for a long time in the room, and then let out a roar.

"Let them go!"

Wang Yuanwai shouted angrily: "The bastards of the Sun family are all your business, why don't you ask my son to do things for you?"

Countless broken voices came from the room, which made people feel uneasy.

After an unknown period of time, it calmed down.

It was quiet for about half an hour.

People in the Wang family didn't dare to touch the bad luck, but the master hadn't moved for a long time, but he was terrified, and finally someone knocked on the door.

However, before knocking on the door, Wang Yuanwai said in a low voice: "Su Ting? The Su family? A woman from the Su family?"

Immediately there was silence again.

Another moment passed.

"Okay, okay, since you were killed halfway because you wanted to get this girl from the Su family, then father will let the girl from the Su family pass by, send her on the road, match you with a ghost marriage, and find a companion for you." .”

"Su Ting? Your brother-in-law? I can play with you these days, so let's go and accompany you together!"

"The Sun family... bastard!"
