The longevity of the heavens begins with Mingyu Gong

Zhao Wei has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts skills are considered outstanding among ordinary people, but this is the first time he has seen Taoism.

Today's saints advocate Buddhism and Taoism and long for immortality, so the social status of monks and Taoists is very high.

It's just that Zhao Wei, out of a warrior mentality, has always felt that monks and Taoist priests are deceivers and have no magical powers at all.

Although he had heard that Monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple was a virtuous and eminent monk with superb Buddhist practice, he always regarded it as a drama.

It wasn't until I met Song Xing that I realized that the Taoist priest who saved my mother didn't seem to be a swindler.

And the scene where he just saw Song Xing drawing talismans in the void completely overturned his knowledge of the previous 20 years.

"The Taoist Master is really powerful. Such immortal-like methods, let alone ordinary people, are some officials and powerful people. I'm afraid they will never see it in their lifetime, right?"

There was a look of surprise in Zhao Wei's eyes. If Song Xing had shown such methods in the government, he would have alarmed the nobles, and the power and wealth in the world would be at his fingertips.

Why does it still appear in the small Qiantang County?
Song Xing looked at Zhao Wei's expression and knew that he had surprised him with the hand he showed just now, so he smiled without explaining.

It was a complete coincidence that this body and Zhao Wei became neighbors, but he had a good impression of Zhao Wei and didn't mind promoting him occasionally, which saved him from wasting 20 years.

What Zhao Wei lacks is not ability, but opportunity.

A few days later, Li Gongfu arrived as promised and brought many gifts to thank Song Xing for his life-saving grace.

Song Xing glanced at the pile of thank-you gifts and frowned slightly: "By doing this, Mr. Li wants Pindao to do something embarrassing for you?"

"Don't dare! Taoist priest, you must not misunderstand. These are just my thoughts. Please accept them."

Li Gongfu quickly waved his hand and explained: "After all, if it hadn't been for the Taoist priest a few days ago, I might have been in danger. You are my savior!"

"Pindao is just helping me casually. Capt. Li already thanked me that day, so there is no need to worry about it."

Song Xing replied indifferently, and then said: "Monks don't pay much attention to worldly things, and Li Captou doesn't need to take them to heart. These things are valuable, so you should take them back later."

Li Gongfu quickly waved his hand and refused: "That can't be done. I have been told by Zhuo Jing thousands of times to thank the Taoist Master properly. Although Mr. Li comes from an ordinary family, he will not ignore the kindness of saving his life."

Song Xing was unmoved. He reached out and picked up a box of cakes from among the many gifts and said, "The gifts have been accepted. The rest will be sent back the way they came. If Capt. Li insists, please go back."

Li Gongfu saw that Song Xing insisted and was afraid that if he continued speaking, he would annoy him, so he agreed with a wry smile.

When he came this time, in addition to really wanting to thank Song Xing, he also had some thoughts of making friends.

To be a head catcher, in addition to having excellent and solid kung fu, the basic skills of being able to observe people's emotions and be well-versed in all aspects are also basic skills.

Li Gongfu has served in Qiantang County for many years. Although he is fair and honest, he is not a stupid young man who knows nothing.

If Li Gongfu was really such an upright person, why would he spend his whole life working as a headhunter at the Yamen Gate?
He knows what to do and what not to do, what to take and what not to take, which can be regarded as a rare human sobriety in this world.

He also knew that he was able to climb to the position of being the leader because he was cautious and diligent. However, he did not feel complacent about this matter. Instead, he was always vigilant.

Although Song Xing's attack time was very short, he could already tell that Song Xing's skills were extremely high.

In addition to his status as a Taoist priest, he is entrenched in Qiantang County, and he comes here for both public and private purposes.

While thanking Song Xing for saving his life, he also wanted to find out the details of Song Xing.When I arrived at Song Xing's residence, I was surprised to find that although Song Xing had special skills, he was not arrogant at all, and his conversation made people feel like spring breeze.

Li Gongfu couldn't help but become more curious about Song Xing, but he also understood that if he continued to delve deeper, he would easily cause Song Xing's displeasure.

So he just asked about Song Xing's origins and learned that Song Xing had practiced Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain before, so he changed the topic and started chatting.

He had the same idea as Zhao Wei before, and did not believe that there was real Taoism in this world. He thought that Song Xing had only practiced martial arts in the deep mountains and forests for many years.

But the more they talked, the more frightened he became. The Taoist priest in front of him knew almost everything. No matter what he talked about, Song Xing could follow his words and always come up with some shocking insights. , giving him a feeling of enlightenment.

Unknowingly, Li Gongfu felt that the more he talked with Song Xing, the more he liked him. In the end, he even exchanged glasses for each other, and his ears were full of wine.

Song Xing was a free and uninhibited character when he was young. Now that he is older, he cannot change this character.

After three drinks, Li Gongfu stood up and prepared to leave.

Song Xing hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Captain Li, have you encountered any difficulties in your official duties these past two days?"

"No," Li Gongfu shook his head subconsciously. Then when he saw Song Xing's unpredictable eyes, he paused for a moment and said hesitantly, "How did the Taoist master see it?"

"Because you have a faint evil spirit about you." Song Xing said calmly, but what he said made Li Gongfu freeze on the spot.

"Evil spirit, is Taoist Master joking?" Li Gongfu looked at Song Xing in surprise.

Song Xing motioned for him to sit down, "Have you encountered anything strange in the past two days?"

Li Gongfu had no intention of leaving at this time, so he took the opportunity to sit opposite Song Xing and said, "I haven't encountered anything weird, but there was a bizarre murder case in the county."

Song Xing tapped his fingers on the table, "It's not an ordinary murder case. Is that why you, the head catcher, find it difficult?"

Li Gongfu nodded, thought about Song Xing's identity, and simply said: "Besides the north gate of Qiantang County, there is a Xuanwu Temple, which has been abandoned for many years. It rained the day before yesterday, and two villagers selling firewood went to the temple to avoid the rain. Rested all night."

"Unexpectedly, at dawn the next day, a villager woke up but found no companion. The firewood and rope were there, but no one was there."

"The countryman then started searching in the temple. When he walked to a main hall, he saw blood stains in front of the hall. When he looked up, he saw the missing countryman hanging in the air with his belly stuck to the roof beam."

"The man was frightened and ran to complain to the authorities. I took people to check. After I got the man down, he was already dead."

Thinking of the scene he saw in Xuanwu Temple, even though Li Gongfu had been a head catcher for many years, he still found it unbelievable: "It's just that the stomachs of the villagers were empty, and the five internal organs had disappeared, as if they had been hollowed out by wild beasts."

It's just that Qiantang County has always been close to water, and it's not a wilderness in the mountains. Where can the wild beasts come from?

What's more, how big of a beast would it take to drag a living person up to the rafters?

Li Gongfu has lived for more than 40 years and has seen many bizarre cases. Although the death of the villagers was miserable, he only suspected that the murderer was man-made and deliberately created the tragic scene of the internal organs being eaten out to confuse the government.

There was a murder case in the county, and the county magistrate ordered Li Gongfu to solve the case within half a month, so he was a little worried before.

But now listening to what Song Xing said, it seems that there is another hidden story in this murder case? (End of chapter)
