Baishixian Road

Chapter 127 This is not that simple

As the saying goes, things of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups.

This principle applies no matter where it is placed.

On the street, porters have circles of porters, traders also have circles of traders, common people pay attention to their neighbors, merchants pay attention to interests, and officials are the creators of circles.

Immortal cultivators have a circle of immortal cultivators, and evil spirits have a circle of evil spirits.

"In this world, there is nothing airtight. As long as you do it, there will always be a tail." Han Xuan explained the experience of investigating cases to Xu Mo.

Then, he walked directly into a very ordinary-looking house.

The yard is very small and messy, and a child is squatting on the ground and mud.

Wearing open crotch pants, the water used for making mud is probably the child's own urine.

When Han Xuan and Xu Mo came in, the child ignored him and concentrated on building his mud house, his body and face were all covered with paste.

In the dilapidated house, an old woman was spinning.

The room was a bit dark, with no windows, and with the door open, only half of the old woman's body could be seen, and the old spinning wooden machine was creaking and spinning, with thin threads already wrapped around it.

If you look closely, the old woman's eyes are milky white, obviously bad eyesight, or she is simply blind.

For Xu Mo, it was a severe cataract.

Han Xuan walked directly into the room, sat on the small wooden stool beside him, and signaled Xu Mo to find a place to sit too.

The old woman grinned when she heard the sound, and her front teeth were missing, so her smile was extremely ugly.

"Who?"

Han Xuan said: "Okay, stop acting, there is no one else here, this is Xu Butou."

"Oh, hello Xu Butou, I'm old and my bones are weak, and my eyesight is not good, so I won't salute you."

"No, no." Xu Mo quickly waved his hand, looking around curiously.

"Recently, there have been a lot of things going on in Kyoto. Tell me what you know." Han Xuan said at this time.

Xu Mo reacted immediately.

Han Xuan came to inquire about the news.

This old lady has a reputation.

Take a closer look.

Understood.

There was a trace of extremely hidden evil spirit on this old woman, the other party was obviously good at disguising, and she didn't even notice it when she first came in.

But just like what Han Xuan said, as long as you observe carefully, you can tell whether it is a human or a demon, a spirit or a monster.

And the more you observe, the more weird things you can discover.

The lower body of the old woman hidden in the darkness was fat and deformed.

The thread she spun came from her lower body.

"Spider? Spin the silk by yourself and use it to spin the thread? I'll go. It's a good business. It's a huge profit." After Xu Mo saw it clearly, he admired it very much.

Secretly gave the old lady a thumbs up.

People earn their own living and work hard to get rich. This is a model among demons.

"There is a righteousness department in Kyoto, so it is naturally too peaceful and stable, so nothing will happen." The old woman wanted to pretend to be confused, and Han Xuan was not used to this problem.

"I didn't hear that sentence just now. You think it through and say it again."

It could be heard that although Han Xuan's tone was flat, there was a hint of killing intent.

The old woman thought for a while, then grinned and said, "It's because my brain is not working well, I forgot, you are talking about Liang Shangshu, right?"

Han Xuan said no.

"Then, it should be about the Artifact Refining Pavilion?"

"The direction is right, keep talking!"

"This, I really know a little bit. Of course, it's a rumor, whether it's true or not. You can tell the truth, Han Butou. I heard that a eunuch ran away from the palace last night. No one was alive or dead. And this eunuch, go to Passing through the Artifact Refining Pavilion, I also heard that something was lost in the palace, it was an awl!"

Han Xuan's expression was not good.

"Any more?"

"No, I know so much. Originally, I planned to spoil these things. It was Han Butou who came. Anyone else would dare not mention them."

When Han Xuan heard this, he immediately got up and walked out.

Xu Mo glanced at the eerie old woman and followed her out.

He figured it out.

The investigation here also needs an 'informant', and Han Xuan's informant is the old spider demon woman.

This is the importance of the circle.

Some things can only be found out if you break into this circle.

Outside, Han Xuan had a solemn expression.

"Brother, I don't think it's that simple. The Second Pavilion Master dug a hole for us. If I had known, the bear's paw should not be eaten."

Xu Mo didn't quite understand.

But it seems that some clues and signs have been seen.

This matter is both the eunuch and the palace, so it is obviously related to the palace.

Whose territory is that palace?

Emperor Daxia.

You can't think deeply about things, the more you think about it, the more you feel something is wrong.

"But I've already eaten it, so it's impossible to spit it out now, it's okay to pull it out!" Xu Mo said nonsense, and Han Xuan laughed out loud.

After the joke is over, should we be worried or worried.

"Let's go back to Sili."

Han Xuan greeted, and Xu Mo followed.

The two returned to the deserted Zhengqi Division.

This place is a bit more lively at night, but during the day, it looks like a haunted haunted house.

Not to mention the overgrown weeds in the yard, there is also a musty smell.

Who would have thought that this place is actually the center that can suppress the evil spirits of the states?
In the past, I dare not even think about it.

In the lobby in front, Xu Mo came here yesterday and is very familiar with it.

I haven't been there.

There are houses and attics.

Han Xuan said that the Xiansheng Pavilion is at the back, and there are many books in it. It is a holy place to send the spirit of the ancestors, and it is also a forbidden place. No one can approach it.

In addition, other places of the 'Zhengqi Division' can be visited.

"Lao Pi is in that room. My brother, you go to Lao Pi, and I will go to the Secretary. Don't get too involved with the matter of the Refining Pavilion. I will discuss it with the Secretary first." Han Xuan told Xu in the yard. silent.

Xu Mo nodded.

Han Xuan hurriedly went to look for the boss, while Xu Mo went to look for Lao Pi.

Old Pi's house is really dark.

There are no windows, and there are many tall bookcases. After entering, the temperature obviously drops a lot.

Old Pi is a ghost.

But it's no ordinary ghost.

Han Xuan said that Lao Pi also wanted to become a saint, but he failed.

Originally, the next best thing is to become a 'Wandering God', but Lao Pi has great ambitions and is unwilling.

After walking inside for a while, in the depths of the dark room, I saw a bean-sized candle.

At this moment, Lao Pi is lying on the desk reading.

That was a real effort.

There are so many books in this place, it's a bit like walking into the warehouse of a printing factory. Basically, there are piles of books wherever you can stay.

There are even wooden slips.

"Master Leather!"

Xu Mo called out.

Lao Pi was startled, he looked up to see Xu Mo, he was at a loss at first, but then he seemed to remember that this was the new second arrester, and he stood up to greet him.

"Captain Xu, what's the matter?"

"Yes, I want to find someone."

"Is it a human, a ghost, or a goblin?"

"It should be a person, a Taoist, a cultivator who cultivates three animals into one." Xu Mo roughly described it based on his understanding of Taoist Lingzhao.

"There are not many immortal cultivators who practice three sacrifices into one in the capital. Is their cultivation high? How much do they do?"

"It's very powerful. I beheaded one of his 'sacrifices'. The Zifu Nascent Soul reached the stage of perfection, and even cultivated a flesh and blood canopy."

"That's amazing." Lao Pi thought for a while, clapped his hands, and a green-skinned kid came out of the darkness, which looked very similar to the black-skinned kid who lit the lamp for the chief.

Just the skin color is different.

Old Pi said a lot of nightmares to the green-skinned imp.

Xu Mo can understand.

It is to let the other party bring the roster that meets the conditions.

Go and come back, kid, bring a pile of dusty registers.

Lao Pi opened it, took a pen, and drew circles on the names above.

"These few meet the requirements, but I don't know which one is specific. I need to find out by myself."

Xu Mo saw that it was easy to handle with a name and a residence.

Thank you now, take your leave and leave.
