Chapter 79 Second Senior Brother Arrives

"Of course not," Li Chuan replied decisively, "I met a lunatic, so what can I say?"

He didn't ask Pan's mother, but just told her that she and the caravan still need to stay here for a while.And said that this matter has already been taken over by a big shot in the capital, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

After that, he said a lot of words with him.

When he walked out of the inn again, he realized that he was sweating when the wind blew.

This is scarier than watching monsters fight.

"Brother Li, why didn't you ask her?" Wen Guying asked.

Li Chuan wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Anyway, I have to ask. Why don't you ask when everyone is ready? Besides, who was originally in charge of this case? Why don't you call him here and continue to be in charge of this case? Take records, look up information, and find people."

He knows his own weight, and there are professional people who can dispatch him, so why not?
Wen Guying had a deep meaning, "In this way, this case cannot be suppressed."

"Why does Taoist priest believe what your junior brother said is true?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying replied: "I didn't believe it, it's just... 3000 years ago, there was an unknown monk in Xialin Village who ascended to immortality."

"3000 years ago?"

"Yes, there was no such village as Houxialin Village at that time, and there was no Xiushan County either. When ascending, the boundaries of the surrounding boundaries will become blurred, and it is not impossible for there to be some strange omens."

"3000 years ago, did the Taoist priest feel that it was too persuasive?"

"3000 years is just a moment."

"If it turns out that your junior brother is crazy, what will you do?"

"Plead guilty and be executed."

"I want to believe you." Li Chuan turned and said, "What did you plan to let me see today? Did you just let her stand under the sun and let me look around?"

Wen Guying had been prepared, he took out a dusty mirror from his sleeve, "This mirror can reflect the soul of a person, it's just an ordinary demon mirror."

Li Chuan took it over, "How do I use it?"

Wen Guying answered: "On that day, just take a picture of Su Niang and the young girl. If you are not at ease, then find another demon mirror, and other methods will also work."

……

Wen Guying's efficiency is very high, but within three days, all the people have been found.

The first person to arrive was Jin Rong, a subordinate official of Qin Tianjian. As soon as he arrived in Xiushan County, he came to visit Li Chuan, and the two found a private room in the teahouse to talk.

Li Chuan was disappointed to see that it was not Zhu Qingyun who came.

However, Jin Rong expressed his closeness to him and explained: "Junior Sister was summoned into the palace by His Majesty and cannot come out for the time being. She wrote a letter of trust and I will give it to you."

"His Majesty?"

"Yeah, something happened during the Chinese New Year..."

"If it's not good, then there's no need to say it."

"It's nothing, brother Li is not an outsider, and has some relationship with you." Jin Rong turned and said, "When Prince Su came to Beijing to give the New Year gift, he was arrested by His Majesty, and he is now in prison."

It is estimated that something happened in collusion with the demon king.

"So there was chaos in the capital for a while, and the palace heard that there was a ghost, so Junior Sister Zhu was called in. It is estimated that it will take another one or two months before she can come out." Jin Rong took a sip of tea and moistened himself. Throat, "She is most annoyed to deal with concubines."

"I see." Li Chuan said.

He opened the letter.

In the letter, Zhu Qingyun greeted him, talked about recent developments, and praised his second senior brother, saying that he is also a scholar, and he was personally selected by His Majesty as Tanhua, and he felt that they would be able to chat.

Seeing Li Chuan's expression getting more and more dull, Jin Rong couldn't help asking him: "What did Junior Sister say in the letter?"

Li Chuan folded the letter paper and said, "She told me to handle the case properly and not to embarrass Qin Tianjian."

"Before I came, the master also told me to cooperate with you with all my strength," Jin Rong said very freely, "So if you want me to do something, Brother Li just ask me, don't worry about those Taoist cultivators."

"Qin Tianjian seems a little disgusted with Taoism?" Li Chuan was a little puzzled by Jin Rong's attitude.

"That's not true. We usually cooperate more, but..." Jin Rong folded his fan, "Sometimes the imperial court would rather indulge the big monster than seek help from the Taoist sect. What do you think is the reason?"

"why?"

"Because the Great Jiang Dynasty is a country of mortals, not a country under Xuanmen. If everything depends on Xuanmen, then the emperor will be nothing more than a dog chosen by Xuanmen, and mortals will completely become monks." His supporter." Compared to Zhu Qingyun, the second senior brother Jin Rong obviously saw farther, "So in your case, the murderer is an abandoned disciple of Sishen Palace. If he is severely punished, he will not really offend Sishen Palace, and Isn't it wonderful to stick to the principles of the court?"

"What if he wasn't expelled from the Four Gods Palace?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's not that there are sects that use mortals as experiments in Taoist sects." Jin Rong faced the facts squarely, "Could it be possible for Qin Tianjian to go to sects to recruit people?"

"What if there really are different ghosts?" Li Chuan asked.

Jin Rong replied: "With the assistance of Qin Tianjian, discovering the strange ghost and averting a catastrophe, isn't it a merit?"

After hearing this, Li Chuan felt that the second senior brother was a worthy person.

He didn't completely deny the existence of other ghosts in his heart. In this world with ghosts and gods, nothing is surprising.In fact, when Wen Guying approached him in the first place, he believed it directly.

What he didn't believe was Guan Zhongqiu.

More importantly, he couldn't tolerate a word from the monk, a method, and gently let the murderer who destroyed the village leave.

Then he heard Jin Rong say: "Brother Li, it's a pity. If Brother Li ends up in Chunwei, he will have a better position in the Qin Tianjian after he has the status of Juren, or after the palace examination. What a pity, what a pity, Little junior sister is still unsteady in handling things."

Can't talk anymore.

He asked, "Do you know the other two monks invited by Taoist Wen?"

Jin Rong said: "Taoist Wen told me that one is Elder Wei of Xuanyue Sect, who is a soul cultivator, and the other is Master Chanhai of Mount Xumi. They are both highly respected people, and they should not bother to lie."

After hearing this, Li Chuan felt relieved, and he showed Jin Rong the mirror that Wen Guying had given him, "This demon mirror was given to me by Daoist Wen."

Jin Rong flipped through it, "It's the most common kind of demon mirror, which can illuminate people's souls? If Brother Li is worried, I'll find another one. It doesn't take much trouble."

Li Chuan thought for a while and said, "No, just this one."

On the third day, Elder Wei and Master Chanhai arrived.

Elder Wei is a Taoist nun, wearing a black Taoist robe, with an aura of bitterness and hatred on his face; Master Chanhai has a round nose, thick lips, and a sonorous voice. He looks like a monk with profound Dharma.

After these people arrived in Xiushan County, the Governor Wu of Chaobing County could no longer pretend to go to the county to inspect the county. Li Canjun, who was involved in the case, was pulled out and asked him to wait for orders, and then went to the county to inspect the seedlings.

Li Chuan first asked Elder Wei to check Pan's mother first.

Elder Wei didn't refuse, walked up to Mama Pan, stretched out his hands, grasped the pulse of Mama Pan's hands, and after some investigation, she said, "I want to go in and have a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared, and Mama Pan's expression became bewildered.

"Huh?" Elder Wei made a doubtful voice, while revealing her figure again, and then she tried again, and disappeared for a longer time this time, and it took about a stick of incense before she condensed into a solid body again.

"How is it?" Li Chuan asked.

Elder Wei said: "Her three souls and seven souls are no different from ordinary people. If there is something abnormal, it is that her life soul is completely integrated in her body, so if you want to extract the soul, you really can't get it out. But This kind of situation, although rare, is not completely non-existent, for example, some half-demons with special bloodlines, the soul is completely blended with the body."

"Then please ask Elder Wei to check on this young girl again," Li Chuan instructed after finishing speaking, "Please be a little more gentle."

"I understand." Elder Wei picked up the young girl.

The little girl was awake, she was not very good at walking, and when she was picked up, she was lying on the chair and eating her fingers.

Elder Wei did not disappear this time, and she said after a while: "The three souls and six souls of the young girl are completely normal and can be drawn out."

Then, Li Chuan asked Master Chanhai to examine Pan's mother and the young girl.

After reading some scriptures and illuminating the Buddha's light, Master Chanhai said that he couldn't find any abnormalities.

"Master Li, please take another look." Wen Guying said

"Okay." Li Chuan asked Mother Pan and the young girl to go outside and stand in the midday sun.

The blue sky is like blue, and the clouds are scattered into pieces of fish scales.

After Li Chuan approached, he heard Pan's mother ask, "What are you looking for? Are our grandparents ghosts?"

Li Chuan didn't answer, took out the demon mirror, and asked Pan's mother to hold the mirror to look at her face.

Pan's mother's face appeared in the mirror, exactly the same as her appearance.

Li Chuan watched intently, and gradually the soul in the mirror began to change. He successfully entered the mysterious realm, and the soul unfolded in front of him like clothes, and he gradually distinguished the three souls from the seven souls.

He continued to wait quietly.

Wen Guying also walked under the sun.

The ruby ​​on the saber is becoming more and more dazzling, as if drinking with the sun.

The complicated patterns finally shattered and transformed into the dots and horizontal lines that Li Chuan is familiar with.

It was about time for a cup of tea. He took the mirror from Pan's mother and went to take a picture of the young girl.After that, he asked Jin Rong, Liu Canjun, and Guan Zhongqiu to take pictures, and finally he asked Gong Er and Pang San to come.

The sun was covered by clouds, and the shadow covered Li Chuan's face, hiding his expression.

"Brother Li, what's the result?" Wen Guying asked.

"I saw a bug, a shadow-like bug, in the souls of Mama Pan and your junior brother." Li Chuan said with difficulty.

He saw the double image between the dots and the horizontal, and when he looked closely, the double image turned into a worm, thin, like a transparent feather.
