Chapter 80 Simple Decisions
The outlines of the clouds are blurred in the halo.

Li Chuan put down the mirror.

Pan's mother is a different ghost, and Guan Zhongqiu is also a different ghost, and the way things are going is becoming more and more absurd.

He observed the expressions of the people present one by one.

Pan's mother's sad face showed numbness of resignation, and she hugged her little granddaughter tightly with both hands. The little granddaughter was a little uneasy and kept looking left and right.

Guan Zhongqiu's raised cheekbones shrugged, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak in the end.

Elder Wei and Master Chanhai were talking in a low voice, and they could faintly hear some unclear words such as enlightenment and Zen realm.

Jin Rong lowered his head in thought.

Wen Guying was standing with his back to the sun at this time, which made his face and figure look a bit blurred. He took the lead and said, "Since the problem has been found, it will be easier to deal with later, Elder Wei," and he turned towards Elder Wei's Walked a few steps in the direction, "Please check Su Niang and Junior Brother Guan again."

Li Chuan finally saw his expression clearly, it seemed to be both resolute and relieved.

Elder Wei agreed.

Wen Guying warned again: "Don't be soft-hearted to the ghosts. In order to find out the problem, some inconvenient methods can also be used."

Elder Wei expressed his understanding.

She checked Pan Ma and Guan Zhongqiu, and neither of them resisted.

This inspection took a very long time, nearly an hour. After the inspection, Elder Wei's figure seemed to have become a little weaker, and his face, which was originally bitter and bitter, looked even more gloomy.

She said: "I traced back their souls this time, and I did find some problems. Mama Pan's souls dated back to around 33 years ago. For a while, the souls were very unstable, but they dated back to around 38 years ago. It became stable again; and Fellow Daoist Guan's soul, a year ago, appeared in the same unstable situation."

"However..." Elder Wei emphasized, "From the perspective of soul cultivation, these are not abnormal. There are many reasons for this situation." She turned to look at Li Chuan, "The cause and effect The reason still needs to be explained by the successor of the "Jing Jing".

Li Chuan directly threw the question to Wen Guying, "Daoist Wen, I have already told what I saw. What are you going to do now?"

"Brother Li's idea?" Daochang Wen asked back.

Li Chuan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, he glanced at Jin Rong, and Jin Rong nodded to him.

Li Chuan gained confidence.

He said: "Please send Mama Pan and Brother Guan back first."

Pan's mother followed the yamen servant.

When Guan Zhongqiu walked halfway, he broke free and said, "I want to hear how you plan to sentence me."

Wen Guying also said, "Let him stay."

Li Chuan agreed, and he said, "There are actually three things now."

"The first thing is very simple. Brother Guan killed a villager in Xialin Village. According to the law, he should be executed. The case has been reported to the court, and the verdict has been approved. He will be executed next month."

"The second thing is also very simple. Brother Guan claimed that he killed the other ghosts. The other ghosts are not human beings, and may even harm human beings. Therefore, killing the other ghosts is a merit, so naturally they don't have to die. But according to me and Elder Wei According to the results of the examination, Brother Crown and the White Walker he called are the same existence. He thinks that the White Walker deserves to die, and according to his own logic, he deserves to die. Brother Crown, what do you think?"

Guan Zhongqiu raised his eyelids and said, "Su Niang and her granddaughter deserve to die too."

"This is the third thing. We need to investigate how the people in Xialin Village became strange ghosts." Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying, "Does Daoist Wen think these three things?"

Wen Guying nodded: "Brother Li's analysis is very clear. What are you going to do?"

"There is still one month left. We will first take Pan Niang and Brother Guan into custody, and then hire someone to take care of the young girl. During this month, we will try our best to find out the truth about Xialin Village."

"What about in a month?" Wen Guying asked.

"If you find out the truth, you will naturally know what to do; if you can't find out the truth..." Li Chuan said it very hard, "Then, the ghost is not a human being, and it is safer to die. If you are a young girl, send it to the nursery hall and invite the soul Xiu comes to see it every year, and if there is no abnormality after the age of 21, then he will not come again. If there is an accident, he will wait until something goes wrong."

Jin Rong also spoke out at this time, saying: "Brother Li has already thought very carefully, Daoist Wen, Elder Wei, Master Chanhai, what do you think?"

Wen Guying said: "I have no objection, but I hope to extend the time a little longer." He sighed softly, "Maybe you think that I want to protect Junior Brother Guan, I admit that I do have such thoughts in my heart, but Now, I am more concerned about the anomalies in Xialin Village and what the 'White Ghosts' are."

He said: "It involves the secrets of Taoism, let's find a place to talk about it. Brother Guan, you shouldn't listen to the next words."

Guan Zhongqiu said, "I'm going back to the prison right now."

Then, Wen Guying asked Liu Canjun to find them a place to talk.So Liu Canjun led them through several ritual gates and arrived at a toilet.

After that, he guarded the door far away.

After sitting down, Wen Guying said: "I found a record in the files of Sishen Palace. 3000 years ago, someone ascended in Xialin Village. This may be the reason for the abnormality in Xialin Village."

"Who is that immortal?" Elder Wei asked.

"I don't know." Wen Guying replied.

"Don't you know your identity after the ascension?" Elder Wei asked.

"I don't know." Wen Guying still answered like this, "There is only one entry in the case file of Sishen Palace, and the person who recorded it is Taoist Gusong. He sensed someone ascending through the tribulation in the southwest direction. When he passed, the robbery cloud had dispersed. , it should be the success of the ascension, so there is this record."

Then he said: "Everyone here knows what happened to the Shuangyemen 20 years ago, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"The Frost Leaf Gate technique and burning incense can make the monks' spiritual thoughts directly observe the heart abyss, which led to their epiphanies and crossed the bottleneck in a short time. It is also the reason why the immortals finally made a move."

Wen Guying looked solemn, "Junior Brother Guan once asked the immortal to check if there is anything wrong with Su Niang, but the immortal did not see the problem. Therefore, I suspect that the appearance of the strange ghost this time is also related to Xinyuan."

He asked Li Chuan, "Brother Li, can you give me some more time?"

After thinking for a while, Li Chuan said: "If nothing is found within a month, then I don't think there is any need to prolong it any longer. But if there is progress and clues are found, you can continue to investigate, then go on Two months, but no more than two months."

Wen Guying immediately agreed and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."

Li Chuan asked again: "Can you tell us why you defend him so much?"

"I'm not defending him, it's just that Junior Brother Guan is different from other monks." Wen Guying turned to look at Jin Rong, "You probably don't know at your age, but your master does. Just seeing Junior Brother Guan's name, he would stop me, but I didn't expect the judgment to be passed directly. You only know that he killed a village. Three or forty years ago, it was the last time the imperial court suppressed demons. It happened that when he was traveling down the mountain, he saved not only people from one or two villages."

Jin Rong replied: "Master only asks me to cooperate with Brother Li."

Then he said: "Qin Tianjian does not interfere in politics."
