Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 6 The Case
According to this method, Xie Duan practiced a few times by himself to ensure that he can use it freely. After all, now he does not know martial arts, and secondly, he does not know magic.

There are demons and ghosts in this world, as well as Taoism practice. Since there is an opportunity to be close to you, you must take good care of it.

If you don't seek to cultivate the righteous fruit of the immortal way, at least you can have a certain ability to protect yourself when facing aliens, so that you won't wait for death with your hands tied.

According to the introduction, the biggest function of this pair of talismans is that it can refine all kinds of "spiritual energy" in the world by itself, and feed them back to the host.

Thinking about the first time the talisman money appeared holy, when it hit the headless zombie, there seemed to be a cloud of black energy in the zombie's body that was absorbed by one of the copper coins.

It's just that after such a long time, I didn't feel any abnormality, and under the induction of my mind, there was no change in the talisman money.

What's going on here?

The yin and yang talisman money, the yin talisman Heart Sutra, could it be related to the Heart Sutra?
Xie Duan felt that he still didn't know enough about Fu Qian, so after thinking about it, he focused his attention on the "Yin Fu Heart Sutra".

The full text of the Heart Sutra contains more than 300 words, and he has a deep memory. He knows every word, but when put together, he can't understand its meaning at all.

Regardless of his previous life or this life, his cultural level is not low, not to mention that he is still a scholar in this world, and his ability to understand ancient Chinese is super strong.

But even so, he still could not understand the true meaning of the scriptures.

That's right, all the ways of practice are inherited, and it is taught by the teacher's heart. It is indeed difficult to understand the way with only one "Heart Sutra".

Since he couldn't step into the door of practice for the time being, Xie Duan was not too persistent, he didn't think about it any more, fell down on the couch and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

……

When a leaf falls, the world knows autumn.

In the yard, the towering ginkgo trees have begun to shed their leaves.

Xie Duan was wearing a white Confucian shirt, a jade belt around his waist, and a bun tied with blue silk on his head. He was dressed as a standard scholar. Not bad.

If we talk about his characteristics, it is that his eyebrows are a little thicker, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. At first glance, he looks a bit like a young master.

In the blink of an eye, it has been three days since I arrived at the mansion.

After these three days, he was familiar with the environment of the yamen, but he had never been out, so he didn't know much about Shanyin County.

Inside the room, the eldest sister Xie Ying was also wearing a white shirt, holding a stick of fresh incense in her hand, and placed her head on the altar, while two spirit tablets were placed under her eyes.

His parents were killed in the flood, when Xie Duan crossed over, he saw only the corpse of the second elder. At that time, he thought in his heart that since he took up his body, he should naturally fulfill his responsibilities as a child.

It was just that after the flood, they were destitute and could not expect a coffin. They only asked for a few feet of mat to wrap the body, so they borrowed a hoe from someone, dug a pit at Xie Jiazu's grave, and buried the two elders together.

At that time, I couldn't take care of myself, and I couldn't even fill my stomach. Not to mention the tablet, even the tombstone, they were all written in two pieces of wood.

Now that they have settled down here, Xie Ying had someone make a spiritual seat for his parents, and after seeking Li Qing's consent, he placed it in Xie Duan's room. In the future, when Xie Duan gets married and starts a business, it won't be too late to move back.

The reason why the two are wearing white shirts is actually filial piety. They need to observe filial piety for seven to seven days. Of course, there are also three years of filial piety.

Xie Ying finished offering incense, wiped away the tears from her cheeks, kowtowed and stood up.

"The kindness of the two elders has not yet been repaid, and they passed away in a hurry without thinking about them. They only lamented the impermanence of the world. It is really sad to think about it."

Xie Duan stood behind, silent for a moment, and said helplessly.

"The dead are gone! Sister, don't be too sad, I think the spirits of my parents in heaven don't want to see us like this."

Hearing this, Xie Ying turned around and walked up to him, and then the two sat down next to each other on the chair next to him.

"You don't need to use these words to comfort me, I understand the truth, and my sister's heart is not as fragile as you imagined! Tell me about you! In the letter sent last year, Dad said that you passed the entrance examination?"

Xie Duan nodded, and then took out the student document.

The imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the former dynasty.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Xiucai was a kind of regular examination, but later the Xiucai examination was abolished, and the term Xiucai once became a general term for scholars.

As for students, it also specifically refers to students studying in the Imperial College, which is not the same as scholar.

After Daqi established the country, in order to increase the enthusiasm of scholars, the monarch of Qi Dynasty made changes in this aspect. Anyone who can pass the county school examination can be called a student, commonly known as a scholar, and a student document is added to facilitate Yu students go out to study.

Xie Ying took the disk at this time, glanced at it twice, with a proud expression on his face.

"Okay! Dad took the exam for half his life before he was selected as a student. You caught up with him when you were weak. The Xie family will not collapse without you!"

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something again, with a smile on his face.

"If I remember correctly, you will be crowned in a few months! You are not young anymore, did your parents arrange a marriage for you?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Xie Ying's interest rose instantly.

"Ah? Where is this going? Don't worry, don't worry!"

Xie Duan suddenly had the feeling of being urged to marry by his elders when he returned home during the Chinese New Year. He didn't want to continue on this topic, so he immediately pulled away.

"By the way! Why haven't I seen my brother-in-law these days?"

Since I came to the mansion, except for the first day I saw him once, I haven't seen him since then, and I don't even come back at night.

"He! He is suffering from a headache recently due to a case, running around all day, busy investigating the case, how can he have time to come back!"

Xie Ying replied after hearing this, but at the same time felt a little puzzled.

"It's strange to say that no matter how important the case was in the past, I have never seen him pay so much attention to it as this time, making it difficult to sleep and eat."

Xie Duan listened, thoughtful, inexplicably thinking of the Wang family aunt, it has been three days in a blink of an eye, and I don't know if his son has been found.

"When I came here, I heard that there are thieves who specialize in child abduction and trafficking in the city, and many children have been lost so far, making people in the city panic. Could it be because of this case?"

Hearing this news, Xie Ying's complexion changed slightly, a little shocked.

"There is such a thing? No wonder, no wonder!"

She doesn't seem to know about this.

"I've been staying in the mansion these days. I don't leave the main gate, and I don't go through the second gate, so I don't know what's going on outside. It's just that he told me a few days ago that the city is not peaceful recently. I take good care of the children at home, don’t let them run around, especially don’t go out, I asked him what’s wrong and he didn’t say anything, he seemed very upset, unexpectedly such a big thing happened.”

Xie Ying had a look of sudden realization, and was deeply shocked in his heart.

Judging from her reaction, Xie Duan knew that her sister didn't know about it at all, if he wanted to know something, he couldn't ask.

Shanyin County looks calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrents. It seems that brother-in-law is not so easy to be a county magistrate.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Come on! Come on, open the door!"

At this moment, someone knocked loudly on the front yard door, and at the same time, a rough and anxious voice came from outside the door.

"Knock what, this is the official residence, there are no rules!"

The porter, who was about forty years old, reprimanded in a deep voice with a dark face.

The inner house official residence is the residence of the magistrate of a county and his family members. People in the yamen are not allowed to enter without permission. Even if there is something urgent, they must write a note in advance and pass it in through the secret cabinet next to the door. After soliciting opinions, decide whether to receive guests.

It was the first time that someone knocked on the door in such a hurry.

"Quickly open the door, I am the county magistrate of this county, something has happened to your lord!"
