Xuantian Law Envoy

Chapter 190 Open the coffin

Hearing Xiao Hua's words, Xu Qing felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly turned his head to look back.

Not only him, Wang Geng and Yu Qingzi in the room also changed their expressions drastically and got up to look.

As a result, when the three of them turned their heads, they didn't see anything.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, was taken aback for a moment before realizing it.

He looked in the direction of the maid's finger, and saw a strange painting hanging on the wall.

Nothing is painted on this painting.

Just a blank sheet of paper.

But it was well framed on the wall.

However, when Xu Qing swept it away with his divine sense, he found it.

In that painting, a monster that was as slender as blue smoke and with extremely long limbs like a spider floated out!

Moreover, the monster seemed to be alive, and it was still twisting slightly.

But without consciousness, you can't see it at all.

"Ghost? Where is the ghost?"

Xu Qing squinted his eyes and asked in surprise.

This girl has only cultivated in the Qi refining stage, and has no birth consciousness at all, so how can she see the ghost in this painting?
"It's in that painting!"

Xiao Hua pointed to the painting on the wall like a green onion and said.

Yu Qingzi and Wang Geng's complexion changed slightly, they both frowned, and soon discovered the clues in the painting.

Wang Geng snorted, and then realized that he seemed to be able to speak and move.

But before he opened his mouth to ask, he found that he couldn't move.

When he glanced at Yu Qingzi, he found that the other party was smiling at him, Wang Geng was annoyed, but also a little helpless.

He just wanted to say something and express his doubts. Is it necessary to be targeted like this?

To be sure, Xu Qing took down the painting.

Disperse the consciousness, and look with the delusion-breaking spiritual eyes, but only a vague gray shadow can be seen.

He took the painting in his hand and sat on the chair.

Hua Fanjin, who was sitting across from her, had an obvious expression of fear on her face, and even pulled the chair back a little distance.

"You mean, have you ever seen a ghost like this?" Xu Qing asked, pointing to the "blank" drawing paper.

The little maid nodded again and again, as if she didn't dare to look directly at the "ghost" on the painting: "Yes, that's how it is!"

Xu Qing rolled up the painting and put it on the table beside him. Then he adjusted his tone and asked softly, "Why do you think your master was killed by the ghost on the painting?"

He quietly used the "God Cleansing Technique".

Xiaohua still stared at the painting intently, and unconsciously said: "I've seen it, I've seen this ghost."

"Tell me carefully." Xu Qing did not break her state, but said persuasively.

Yuqingzi and Wang Geng on the side pricked up their ears.

"That night, the night the master died, I went out to pour water, but when I passed the backyard door, I saw a shadow slipping out from the door."

"I didn't realize it at the time. I thought a thief was recruiting at home, so I quickly followed."

"As a result, the shadow sneaked into the main room in a flash."

"I didn't see anything when I chased in, I just saw the painting. It, it's moving!"

"I was shocked at the time, but I also reacted."

"This is the Chen family. Even if someone who doesn't have eyes wants to barge in without disturbing the master, it's impossible!"

"So I had the courage to go up and take a look, and I saw this painting and the ghost on it."

"Other than that, there's nothing left."

"I thought I was wrong, so I went back to sleep in a panic."

The maid Xiao Hua whispered: "The next morning, I told Madam about this."

"The lady came to look at the painting right away, but she didn't see anything."

"After hearing about it, the master smiled and said that this painting was given by a friend. It's a bit miraculous, so don't make a fuss."

Her face suddenly darkened: "But on the second night, when I got up to go to the bathroom at night, I saw that shadow again!"

"I really watched it crawl into the master's yard."

"But I remembered what the master said, so I didn't dare to look at it again. Who would have thought that when I woke up the next morning, the master would have passed away!"

Xu Qing immediately interrupted her memory: "When did this painting enter the Chen family?"

Xiaohua said in a daze, "It was half a month ago."

"Who gave it to your master, do you know?"

Xu Qing asked.

Xiao Hua still looked dazed and said: "A friend."

Xu Qing was silent for a moment, then changed the question: "Do you get up in the middle of the night every night?"

Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously, but then she remembered something and had a look of struggle on her face.

Immediately, it seemed to wake up from a certain state.

She quickly shook her head and denied, "No, I just... just get up occasionally."

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows, turned her head to look at Yu Qingzi and Wang Geng calmly: "You two, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Yu Qingzi immediately noticed the abnormality in the maidservant's mood. Hearing what Xu Qing said, she immediately got up and said, "It's just right, I'll go out to get some air."

What's weird is that Wang Geng stood up at the same time as Yu Qingzi and walked out.

Seeing the struggling expression on his face and the almost identical movements of Yu Qingzi, Xu Qing immediately understood what happened.

Immediately he was surprised.

Not seen for a few days, this guy's strength has improved again.

Not only did he unknowingly break through to the spiritual stage, but he even had a lot more means.

However, thinking that Yu Qingzi had been extremely mysterious since the first time he met him, and he seldom made a move.

Therefore, Xu Qing thinks that his judgment of strength is inaccurate.

After thinking about it for a while, he put it behind him.

In a blink of an eye, he set up an isolation formation, and then he looked at Hua Fanjin and asked, "Xiao Hua, there is no one left now, to be honest, I will keep it a secret for you."

Xiao Hua immediately evaded and said, "Brother Xu, I don't know what you're talking about."

Xu Qing smiled helplessly: "You should know, I know how to detect lie, you were lying just now."

"As a Qi refining monk, my physical fitness and many habits should be quite different from ordinary people."

"Besides, night is the best time to cultivate, and the aura during the day is too restless."

"You don't practice well at this time, and you often run out, maybe it's to meet someone?"

Xu Qingyi pointed out something.

Xiaohua's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Xu Qing in shock: "How do you know?!"

Xu Qing shrugged and smiled: "As a law enforcement envoy of Beizhou, I can only say that I am a professional."

"No one can lie to me in front of me."

Xiao Hua suddenly looked a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "Brother Xu, will you really keep it a secret for me?"

When she said that, she was almost telling Xu Qing that he guessed right.

Xu Qing sighed in his heart for this innocent girl, and said seriously: "I swear in the name of the law enforcement envoy of Beizhou that the conversation between us will never be known by a third person."

Only then did Xiao Hua breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a sigh, "You guessed right, I am going to meet someone."

Then she continued, "I won't tell you who he is!"

Xu Qing smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not interested either. Only after I prove this, can I be sure if what you said earlier is true."

"Then you must have told this to the man who met you, too, have you not?"

Xiao Hua widened her eyes and nodded, "How do you know?"

Xu Qing smiled wryly in his heart, do you still need to guess?

But he said mysteriously on his face: "I know a lot of things that others don't."

Then he turned to say: "Speaking of which, for two consecutive nights, you saw that shadow, and saw that shadow get into the main hall, so you connected it with the painting of ghosts. "

"And it just so happens that your master died at this time. So far, you have completely connected these things, thinking that your master was killed by a ghost, right?"

Xiao Hua thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "That's right!"

Xu Qing turned his head to look at the painting rolled up by him on the table beside him.

In this way, the clue is in this painting.

"What about after that?" Xu Qing turned her attention back to Xiao Hua, "Did you tell Madam your guess?"

Xiao Hua nodded and said, "Of course, Madam was very sad at the time, but she still checked the painting herself."

"But she found nothing."

"Later, Madam told the matter to the Fifth Elder, and the Fifth Elder sent someone to check it out, and then questioned me."

Hearing what she said, Xu Qing suddenly said: "It's just that later they let it go, and told you not to spread the matter to the outside world, and said that your master died of a madness, and it has nothing to do with any ghosts, right? "

Xiao Hua suddenly said in amazement: "Brother Xu, why do you know everything!"

Xu Qing pointed to her head: "Judgment."

Xiao Hua immediately expressed admiration.

"By the way, when did your master and wife get married? How is the relationship? How many children do you have?" Xu Qing asked after thinking about it.

Xiao Hua didn't hesitate, and said like a treasure: "Our master and wife have known each other since we were young. At that time, the master was just an unknown member of the branch of the Chen family, and the wife was just a young lady of the Wang family outside the city."

"Their relationship has always been very good. After they got married, they gave birth to two sons. One of the eldest young masters is now serving in the city guard army, and the second young master has been traveling abroad and has not returned for two years."

"In about three days, the second young master will be back."

When talking about the young master, Xiao Hua's face blushed obviously, as if she was very shy.

This strange emotion immediately caught Xu Qing's attention.

"Is the young master handsome? How is he?" He asked as if gossiping.

Xiao Hua said without even thinking about it: "Young Master is the best person in the world. He is handsome and powerful. He is a genius of the younger generation of the Chen family!"

"It's just because of my busy schedule that I didn't stay at home to keep vigil."

"The madam also told him not to come back. She will take care of the family affairs."

Xu Qing rubbed his chin: "Okay, I've finished asking all the questions I need to ask, you can go to rest."

"Remember, if you have any relevant memories or new discoveries in the future, come to me at any time."

Xu Qing took out the cheapest messenger talisman and handed it to Xiao Hua: "If you need to tear this up, you can contact me immediately."

Xiao Hua seemed relieved and got up and nodded repeatedly, took the messenger talisman and walked out of the main hall to leave.

"How is it?" Yuqingzi and Wang Geng walked back quickly, Yuqingzi asked curiously, "Anyone else need to ask?"

Xu Qing shook her head and looked at Wang Geng: "Friend Wang Daoist probably needs your help with something."

Wang Geng suddenly asked curiously: "What's the matter? Just let the law enforcement envoy tell you."

Xu Qing didn't open his mouth, but transmitted a sentence through spiritual power.

Wang Geng's expression changed immediately, and he frowned and nodded: "Although this matter may not conform to the rules of the Chen family, I will still keep it a secret for you."

"Leave this matter to me. It will take a day or half a day. I will bring someone to see you."

With that said, he turned and walked outside.

But Yuqingzi asked cautiously via sound transmission: "What did you find?"

Xu Qing said briefly: "If what this girl said is true, then Chen Zhankong may have died of some kind of ghost."

Yuqingzi was startled.

Xu Qing didn't care about his emotions and continued: "But the Chen family didn't believe it, and they didn't want to lose face because of this kind of thing, so they declared that Chen Zhankong died for no reason."

"After all, for an ancient comprehension family, it is a great shame that a spiritual cultivator is thought to have been killed by some ghost."

"And they probably didn't find anything, so they came to this conclusion."

Yu Qingzi raised his brows: "Then what shall we do next? What kind of ghost, is it related to this painting? What kind of ghost can kill a late-stage spiritual monk?"

Xu Qing shook her head: "I don't know if it has anything to do with it. This matter is still just speculation and there is no evidence, so we can't make rash decisions."

"But for the next step, let's go and see Chen Zhankong's body."

"Go and invite Mrs. Chen, I have something to say to her."

Yu Qingzi nodded, turned and walked out, not paying any attention to Xu Qing's orders to him.

Obviously, he also wanted to know the truth of the matter.

Does it have anything to do with the speculation of their alliance.

Soon, Mrs. Chen came in.

After Xu Qing said a few words to her in a low voice, Mrs. Chen's expression immediately became stern: "Master Law Enforcement Envoy, can you guarantee that what you said is not the slightest lie?!"

Xu Qing nodded: "I can guarantee that what I said is the truth, but I can't guarantee that things are as I guessed."

"But I can only prove my judgment after looking at the corpse."

"It's just that you don't want Senior Chen to die for no apparent reason, do you?"

"It is only right and proper to kill a husband to pay for his life!"

"Don't you want to find the murderer and avenge Senior Chen?"

This sensible and strong Mrs. Chen suddenly stood up and walked out: "Follow me."

Xu Qing smiled and followed quickly.

A moment later, in front of the mourning hall.

"Except for Xiao Hua, everyone go down, there is no need to keep anyone here."

"Uncles and aunts, you all go back too, I want to have a private conversation with Zhan Kong."

Mrs. Chen said lightly.

The relatives immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, but the master had spoken, and they had nothing to say, so they left one after another.

Chen Yu, the deacon of the Chen family, was suddenly surprised and asked, "What is sister-in-law doing?"

However, Mrs. Chen ignored him, and only after those people had left, she looked at Xu Qing: "Do what you should do."

Xu Qing clasped her fists in a salute, winked at Lian Zhen who was looking surprised, walked into the mourning hall together with Yu Qingzi, and closed the door.

Chen Yu was startled, and now that he understood what they wanted to do, he immediately wanted to follow.

But was stopped by Lian Zhen: "Hey, Deacon Chen, it's better not to watch this kind of thing. I think I only watched it once, and I haven't had a good meal for several days."

Chen Yu's face changed slightly and he was about to dodge, but found that he was entangled tightly by the young man in front of him, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Finally just give up.

And inside the mourning hall.

As soon as he entered here, Xu Qing immediately asked Yu Qingzi to help open the coffin lid.

The two of them gathered around the coffin and just glanced at it, and their expressions changed.

"how so?!"

Xu Qing said with a surprised face.
