I have a long pupil

Chapter 52

"Stubborn..."

Seeing Monk Fashan closing his eyes and reciting scriptures, Heiyan, the leader of the prison, frowned slightly, and felt a little angry in his heart.

His martial arts can only be considered average in the six schools, and he did not make a name for himself in studying medicine when he was young. The only thing he is proud of is this torture method.

In front of several adults, you can't lose face.

Thinking of this, Hei Yanwang picked up an iron brush, which was covered with poisonous powder and fell off.

Swish, swish, swish,
The monk's body was covered with bloodstains.

This instrument of torture is called "tiger bowing its head". The poisonous powder is a kind of leaf fluff. Once pierced into the wound, it will be so itchy that even the tiger will go crazy.

"what--!"

"The five turbidities are born, the ten evils are born, all living beings are defiled, stingy, greedy and jealous..."

Fashan's face was almost distorted, but he continued to chant Buddhist scriptures, his eyes were already dull, with some kind of weird fanaticism.

"Stop."

God Zhuge frowned slightly, and thoughtfully said: "Fashan is a shrewd philistine, he can face severe punishment and refuse to recruit, Lianhuazong is really evil."

"I heard Buddhist scriptures, and there are five turbidities and ten evils. Listening to his meaning, why is it different..."

Chief arrester Guo An snorted coldly: "It's nothing more than demagoguery, I've seen a lot of it!"

"Fashan was arrested, and the two monks committed suicide. The rest of the party must flee after hearing the news. Is there any other way to make him confess as soon as possible?"

"Ashamed subordinate."

Black Hades quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Qiu Chenyi, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, has a magic method, which can induce hallucinations with drugs, and the prisoners can say anything."

"Qiu Shaoqing?"

God Zhuge nodded and said: "Master Qiu and my Six Sects often cooperate, so I'll ask him to help."

Having said that, he left in a hurry.

In less than half an hour, he rushed back, shook his head and said, "Qiu Shaoqing went to the suburbs of Beijing to handle the case, and he won't be back until evening."

Guo An said in a deep voice: "This is an urgent matter. Send someone to wait at the gate of the city. When Master Qiu arrives, invite him over."

"Yes, my lord!"

…………

At the end of the day, Jixianfang.

As the Autumn Kitchen Festival approaches, all squares are decorated with lanterns and streamers to prepare for the temple fair.

Jixianfang is no exception. Although there is no Taoist temple here, there is a Sansheng temple.

In the Sansheng Temple, three Confucian saints are enshrined. Every year, scholars from all over the world come to Beijing to take the exam, and they must come here to pay homage to the sages.

Therefore, Jixianfang Temple Fair is different.

Guessing lantern riddles and poetry competitions are quite elegant, and there are even a lot of small literary and entertainment stalls on the street.

Zhang Biao was carrying the box, looking left and right.

He brought some tonics to Wang Butou. His eldest son wasted a lot of effort and was sent to the Imperial College to study arithmetic. It would be most appropriate to send some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Seeing the streets full of literature and antiques, Zhang Biao's addiction to picking up leaks came up again.

With his current cultivation base, he would not get tired of identifying mortal objects more than a dozen times, but it is a pity that he saw a few of them, all of which were fakes.

"Has Catcher Zhang come to visit again?"

Familiar voices came from behind.

Zhang Biao turned his head and saw that it was Yu Ziqing, the peddler who sold his erotic wooden carvings.

"I have resigned from the six doors."

Zhang Biao shook his head and said with a smile, "Now I'm alone, so I don't need to call him headhunting anymore."

"Oh?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Yu Ziqing's eyes, but he still cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "There are a lot of things to do in the public family, and blessed people have leisure. What are you here to buy?"

Zhang Biao smiled and said, "You came just in time. I want to get some of the Four Treasures of the Study as gifts, but unfortunately I don't know anything about them."

Yu Ziqing hurriedly said, "Why don't you come to the shop and have a look?"

This kid has developed in a short time?
Zhang Biao was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions. He followed Yu Ziqing to a grave shop called "Tian Di Zhai" next to the street.

It turned out to be the property of Tiandimen...

Zhang Biao saw it instantly.

This kid entered the book gate, and the heaven and earth gate established a foothold in the capital, so it can't just rely on a bunch of swindlers, it must be supported by its own property.

"Cangzhou Bamboo Ink, Yuntai Stone Inkstone, Youzhou Langhao, Chenzhou Xuan Paper... Not only are the prices moderate, but no matter who you send them to, you won't lose face."

Yu Ziqing moved quickly, and picked out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study in no time, and his words were smooth.

But Zhang Biao's eyes were all attracted by a bookshelf.

The other books on the shelf are all newly printed, exuding a faint fragrance of ink.

But on this bookshelf, there are all kinds of ancient books, yellowed and mottled, and some have traces of insect erosion.

Seeing this, Yu Ziqing smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, don't look at those, they are all ancient books found by criminals in Beijing. They are forged to get some famous people's hidden seals to fool foreign scholars."

Zhang Biao nodded, thinking about those ancient books of the Chongyang Temple. When he asked people to rebuild the Taoist temple, he happened to find time to check them one by one.

"Dog thief, where to escape!"

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden muffled noise from the back room.

A waiter ran out with a disheveled face, and said to Yu Ziqing, "Second shopkeeper, that thief cat ran out again, this time I saw it with my own eyes!"

Yu Ziqing said helplessly: "Chen Er, if you are tired, why don't you go home and rest for a few days?"

Hearing this, the guy blushed, "Second shopkeeper, I'm not crazy...I really saw it!"

Seeing Zhang Biao's gaze, Yu Ziqing smiled wryly and said, "Our guys always say that there are cats in the warehouse, but no one else has noticed."

"cat?"

Zhang Biao's heart moved, thinking of the rat monster Yuanbao he saw in Chongsheng Temple, he smiled and said: "It just so happens that the addiction to handling cases has come up, why don't you let me have a look?"

Chicken monsters and rat monsters came out.

Could it be that there are also cat monsters?
"This…"

Yu Ziqing deliberately refused, but thinking that there was nothing valuable in the warehouse, it would be better to save face, so he said with a smile: "Just ask Brother Zhang to take a look."

The warehouse is not big, just a side room, and the boxes containing pens, inks, papers and inkstones are neatly stacked.

It can be seen that the store that Yu Ziqing took over is a bit down and out, not to mention the treasures of the store, even the ordinary goods are pitifully scarce.

"It's over there!"

The guy said, "I saw a black cat with green eyes walking around in the warehouse with my own eyes."

Yu Ziqing shook his head speechlessly and said, "The ground is paved with loess, and there are no cat paw prints. You must be dazzled?"

"Ah...this?"

The buddy looked at the ground, also suspicious.

Zhang Biao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked towards the corner of the wall, and asked, "Is there a canal nearby?"

Yu Ziqing shook his head and said, "The canal is still far away."

Zhang Biao approached the corner, wiped it lightly, looked at the water stains on his hands, "It's damp here, it's not normal."

"Oh?"

Yu Ziqingye frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it off, clasped his fingers and tapped it a few times, and when he heard the sound, his eyes lit up, "Quick, get the pickaxe!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Earth and rocks splashed everywhere, and there was a dark room hidden in the wall.

The area is not big, only one foot square.

There was a wooden box inside. I don't know how many years have passed, the wood has decayed, and the iron lock is even more rusty.

"It's so heavy!"

Yu Ziqing and his buddy dragged the wooden box out and smashed the iron chain, and the three of them stared wide-eyed.

The wooden box was full of silver ingots.

The man's breathing became heavy.

Yu Ziqing looked at Zhang Biao secretly with fear in his eyes, and when he saw that his eyes were shining, he was even more distressed in his heart.

Wealth moves people's hearts.

Zhang Biao is a master of martial arts, he and his assistant are the only ones in the store, if there is malicious intent, his life may be lost.

Thinking of this, Yu Ziqing said tremblingly, "Zhang... Zhang catcher, what do you think?"

He made a mistake on purpose and brought up the name of arresting the head again, in order to remind Zhang Biao not to kill people indiscriminately.

Zhang Biao was amused, "Of course it's for those who see it. Could it be that you're going to hand it over to the Heaven and Earth Gate?"

The guy was anxious when he heard that, and quickly looked at Yu Ziqing, his eyes were full of pleading.

Yu Ziqing felt much relieved, "Well, since Brother Zhang discovered this thing, you will distribute it."

The head of the guy next to him seemed to be splashed with cold water, but he also calmed down, bowed his head and dared not speak.

This kid is also smart...

Zhang Biao was happy, and said righteously: "This is your chance, Zhang will not grab it, just take this thing."

As he said that, he pulled out a black jade pendant from the gap in the wooden box. It looked very strange, and it actually carved a cat.

It's western style...

Yu Ziqing's eyes are poisonous, and he can see the shape of the jade pendant at once, and it is psychic, absolutely extraordinary.

But he was still grateful, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, Gao Yi!"

"Hahaha, thank you!"

Zhang Biao picked up the jade pendant, turned around and left.

When he came to the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Yu, you are really a nobleman named Zhang, you have more time to deal with him."

After that, he quickly left the shop.

Looking at the distant figure, the waiter said unwillingly: "Second shopkeeper, that is definitely a treasure!"

"madness!"

Yu Ziqing scolded: "If you dare to touch something with unknown origins that can manifest supernatural powers, I dare not take it."

As he said that, he said in a deep voice: "Chen Er, both parents in your family are sick. Now is the time for us to stand up."

"It depends on you, whether you can grasp it..."

The buddy was also clever, he quickly bent over and cupped his hands, "I'm stupid, I'll just follow Brother Yu's orders!"

…………

After leaving Jixianfang and coming to a secluded place, Zhang Biao took out the black cat jade pendant in his hand.

Jade Essence (Yellow Grade [-])
1. It came from the remote Western Regions. It was once a treasured object of a queen. It was buried in the yellow sand with it and was dug out by tomb robbers.

2. The old man is psychic, and an elf has been born inside. He is good at hiding and running, and can use tricks: invisibility, fear of sunlight, and love of darkness.

3. It is longing for essence...

This thing is not a monster, but a spirit!
