I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 75 Ferryman from the underworld?
  "So you agreed?"

"I reject."

"Why refuse? Isn't it good to live forever?"

"There is a difference between immortality and eternal sleep. My disciple's ambition is to speak for the dead, but he really has no intention of preserving his health."

"Well, that's really a pity. But I have to say that your ambition is good."

To be honest, Cao An does not look down on this method of Taoism. It can really live for three thousand years and be invincible in the world after it comes out. It is also a safe strategy.

But he has a detective system of his own, so he can't leave the plug-in alone.

Besides, with the system’s random behavior, is there any chance that it will be blessed with longevity next time? My detective system is still the best.

Everyone has his own ambitions. Seeing Cao An's refusal, Jian Zheng didn't force it anymore, but he just felt it was a pity.

"I dare to ask Jian Zheng, why do you value me so much?" Cao An still asked what was in his heart.

It was not normal to invite him to join without testing his qualifications or asking him about his ideals.

Jian Zheng did not hide anything, and picked up a letter on the desk: "At first, I was very confused when you joined our Tianjian. Later, I found Elder Wen's belongings and found out that he saved you before he died. And be included as a disciple."

Cao An suddenly realized that this was probably the identity assigned to him by the system. If it was in the name of a deceased elder, he would not have too much trouble.

"Master asked you to take care of me before he died?"

"No, it's just that I heard that you can see the aura of the dead? This is a strange news!"

As Jian Zheng said this, he excitedly dug out a lot of ancient books as if he had a second spring.

"You work for the Tsing Yi Department. You should have met that girl Xiaojiu. Has she sentenced you to death?"

"Yes! I have seen her! She did say that I was about to die! How did Master Jianzheng know that?"

Cao An came here precisely for this matter. He didn't expect it to be mentioned. It was really...

"Because you deserve to die."

…I’m really not happy at all.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should die now, I mean you should have died long ago. If you don't die, Xiaojiu and I will be very worried."

"..."

Cao An was numb as he listened to the prisoner's curses, and it took him a long time before he finally dug out a solitary volume.

"Look at this: [The art of bringing the dead back to life, saving people on their deathbed, and their destiny disappears]. Elder Wen dragged you out of the gate of hell. I'm afraid your fate has been changed, so you can see the dead. gas."

This breathless explanation finally allowed Cao An to grasp the key point.

So the supervisor heard about his deeds and mistook his system talent for a mutated qi-gazing technique? Is that why you want to take him in?

"Then when you say I should die, do you mean my destiny no longer exists?"

"That's right, have you ever heard of 'The Ferryman'? It's like this situation, between life and death, so it looks like it's full of death."

Jian Zheng's words made Cao An feel much better. Perhaps it was a sign of impending disaster because his identity as a time traveler prevented Xiao Jiu from seeing his destiny clearly.

"I dare to ask the supervisor, what is Xiaojiu's identity?" Cao An was very worried about that little girl.

Jian Zheng waved his hand: "She! She is a Buddhist soul boy, haha, you will know later. It's getting late, take this thing, I will send you down."

Xiaojiu's identity was briefly mentioned, but as Cao An imagined, the person who could discuss Buddhism with Sanyang should be the reincarnation of a certain Buddhist master.

He lowered his head and glanced at the secret book handed over by Jian Zheng: [Qi Watching Technique].

"This is an orthodox Qi-gazing technique. After all, Elder Wen passed away early, so I'm afraid he didn't teach you much. Take this secret book and study it carefully in the future."

"Thank you, Master Jianzheng." Cao An clasped his fists in thanks.

With a wave of his hand, Cao An was enveloped by a burst of smoke and fell into the star-gazing building.

But now, after the haze when he came, he felt relaxed all over.

He is indeed a master!

In the future, I will get angry with anyone who tells me that Si Tianjian does not do his job properly and only cares about health care and pension every day.

Look at how well our Lord Jianzheng explained it. Dead air does not mean a bad omen. That is the fate of the 'Underworld Ferryman'.

Between life and death, transcending destiny, that's how powerful it is.

……

On the other side, on top of the stargazing tower.

The sleepy senior sister rubbed her sleepy eyes and seemed to hear a new term vaguely.

Stretching, he looked at the master in the distance with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky and stars, and asked his question. "Master, what is 'Yellow Spring Ferryman'? I've never heard of you talking about it?"

"Your master and I just thought of it too."

"Huh? What about what you and Cao An said..."

"Lie to him."

Jian Zheng still looks upright and upright. As a person who knows destiny, there is no need to draft this lie?

The eldest sister was confused and scratched her head at the big scroll in her arms: "Why did master lie to him?"

"I did it for his own good. The Chief of the Tsing Yi Department wrote a letter asking me to enlighten him, so that he would not have to worry about himself every day."

"But is he really haunted by death?"

"Who knows? Destiny is no longer effective the moment it is spoken. For a person with such great luck, it is easy to change his destiny against the will of heaven."

"But what if he thinks everything is fine, takes it lightly, and dies faster?"

"I just told him that his destiny is unpredictable, and I didn't say that I would keep him safe for the rest of his life. He is a policeman, so he will naturally be cautious. I am trying to build his confidence."

"Oh, then why..."

"Stop! Why are there so many? Take care of yourself first. Look at you, you are 20 years old and you are only at the fifth level!"

"Huh? Master, when he was 20 years old, what kind of state was he in?"

"I...don't worry about my state. Go to bed quickly! Don't wake up until you reach the fourth level."

"Oh~~"

……

Three days later, Tsing Yi Department.

The flag owners of the five flags of gold scale, wooden calligraphy, water embroidery, tinder, and earthen clogs stand in front of the door.

Those who didn't know, fearing that something big would happen, were frightened by this fierce momentum and chose to take a detour.

But to put it bluntly, Cao An was still waiting for the carriage, and these guys were just here to see him off.

"I'm just going to a banquet, and I'm not going to die. Why are you guys here to see me off?"

Zhu Xian looked through his little book and explained: "It's not just to send you off, but to receive news that the official is back with the water flag, so we can welcome him together."

"Oh? My Shui Qi colleague is coming back? That's great. Finally, someone will share the work for me."

"What? Is there a lot of work in the department recently?"

"Nonsense, as I mentioned before, before you cooperate with that goblin Mubai, you must first find out her background."

"Huh? You stayed in her room all night last time, and you haven't touched her... yet?"

"I can't figure it out! Her purpose is definitely not simple. After doing so many things, is it really just for the coexistence of humans and monsters? I can't see it. I drove him out of Nanshan just to see her trump card."

"What do you need now?"

"Think of a way to let Shui Qi's brothers investigate the flow of the Criminal Department files. She must not be as simple as sneaking into one file, but she may have a bigger conspiracy."

Cao An is too busy. The results of the human bottle case and the explosion case have not yet been found. Now that Mu Bai has proposed cooperation, he really has no time to investigate.

Fortunately, Shui Qi is coming back soon. It concerns Master Shuzheng's search for Shanwai Shan, so he should be very active.

After a few words of explanation, the carriage arrived, and when the curtain was lifted, it was Pang Duzhi from our Imperial City Department.

As a novice in officialdom, Cao An wanted to find a companion for this [Martial Arts Banquet]. It happened that this person was also invited, so he was ready to take a ride there.

Pang Shi looks like a veteran at first glance. He handles cases quite seriously on weekdays, but during banquet times like this, his gray hair is even more showy.

"Don't worry, follow me to the [Martial Arts Banquet], I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun." Pang Shi raised his eyebrows and emphasized the word 'play'. It seems like this person is very knowledgeable!

Cao An understood and showed a smile that I understand: "Then today's banquet will be arranged by Pang Duzhi?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me, it's safe!" Pang Shi patted his chest to express that there was no problem.

Then the next second, the carriage suddenly stopped, interrupting this man's complacency.

"Sir, someone stopped the carriage?"

"No, you ran into trouble just after setting off?"

Cao An and Cao An quickly went on guard and got out of the carriage to check the situation, only to find that the person who stopped their carriage was actually Feng Zhao, the Minister of War.

"Pang Duzhi, Cao Shuixiu, I have something important to report to you two."
