Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 40 The truth is even stranger than the truth (Part )

"Master Xunyi, I finally found you." Yang Qian's face was grim. This man's methods were strange and powerful. If it weren't for the cold arrow outside the window just now, it would take him an unknown amount of time to capture the other party alive.

If the situation drags on, too much energy will be consumed, which means more variables will occur, making it a really tough opponent.

Even if it happened in the wild, with the skills Xunyi just displayed, Yang Qian would probably be completely left behind in no time.

So timing and luck make everything seem relatively easy.

Of course, Zhao Qian, who was lying in the yard without being able to move, probably didn't feel relaxed.

"."

In response to Yang Qian's greeting, the look in Master Xunyi's eyes, which appeared through his slightly messy hair, did not show any viciousness, but was still cold and clear, and instead had a hint of relief.

At this time, the three people outside also came in. The one holding the short crossbow was Wang Shigui, who looked very proud at this moment. He knew that his arrow had done a great job. He had not been exaggerating when he boasted about his crossbow's accuracy before.

While Xun Yi was tied up, Zhao Qian was turned over. After checking his breath, he was found to be not dead, but fainted. Blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and it was obvious that he had serious internal injuries.

"Didn't you say in your sermons during the day that we should avoid anger, do small kindnesses, and keep a peaceful mind? Why did you do that? With that kick, his life might have been in danger. Doesn't that match what you said? Or are you such a beast in human form?"

"." Shaking his head, Xun Yi still said nothing. There was no regret or shame or anger on his face. It seemed as if he was talking about someone else instead of him.

"Bring back!"

When he was about to leave, the temple was also woken up. The temple owner was very dissatisfied with the police's behavior of breaking into the house and arresting people. He was very tough and said that he would go to the government office to file a complaint. But when he saw the short crossbow being strung and the oxtail knife being unsheathed, the group of temple masters who were all skilled in martial arts did not dare to block his way.

It's easy to block the road, but you may not be able to handle the trouble if you block it. Moreover, Na Xunyi didn't say a word, which clearly showed that it was not the police arresting people randomly, but Xunyi did have problems.

And it is very likely a big problem, otherwise the police would not have carried out such a sudden night raid to arrest someone.

Therefore, the temple owner's attitude is more about saving himself. He does not really want to save Xunyi. It is not even certain whether he will go to the government to file a complaint later. He will definitely take a look at Xunyi's situation and find out what Xunyi has done wrong before making any plans.

When I returned to the police station, it was still late at night.

Zhao Qian was sent to the clinic for treatment, while Xun Yi was sent to the torture chamber, where he was first cleansed and then waited to be interrogated.

"Master Yang, do you need to tell the chief constable about this?" Wang Shigui reminded him. After all, breaking into the Qingyue Temple at night was not a small matter.

"Yes, but there's no need to go now. It's the middle of the night and the chief constable doesn't need to sleep. Okay, go light the fire and get ready to start questioning. Let's try to finish this case tonight."

"Okay, Master Yang, but I don't know if the bones of the Xunyi Master are strong enough and how many dishes he can eat."

Yang Qian sorted out the questions he was going to ask later in the duty room, and then went to the clinic to check on Zhao Qian's condition.

Zhao Qian was lucky and kicked him in the lower abdomen, but the kick was still two inches away from his lower dantian and did not hit the vital point.

Although his internal organs were seriously injured, they were not fatal and could be cured. The reason why he was unconscious was because the opponent's kick contained hidden power, which directly made Zhao Qian faint. After arriving at the clinic, the doctor used massage to wake him up. When Yang Qian went over, he heard Zhao Qian shouting that his intestines hurt.

Hearing the spirit, Yang Qian knew that Zhao Qian would not die.

When they returned to the torture room, Master Xunyi had been stripped naked and chained to a wooden rack. In front of him, Wang Shigui and Zhang Hao were burning charcoal and wiping the row of hideous torture instruments on the table.

Just looking at this scene, I know that today will not end well. Either he will be severely punished, or he will be forced to tell everything he knows.

"Did Qingyue Temple give you the name Xunyi or did you choose it yourself? Does it mean to find the true meaning?" Yang Qian dragged a chair and sat in front of Xunyi. He could look her in the eye by slightly raising his head. After hearing Yang Qian's words, Xunyi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up this time and said, "I chose it myself. It doesn't just mean to find the true meaning, but to find the meaning of the true law."

"Why? Do you think that the Dharma you preach every day is fake?"

"No, that's different."

"Why is it different?"

"The Dharma I teach is the Dharma that can enlighten the hearts of ordinary people and make their lives more peaceful and less turbulent. It is different from the Dharma of power and longevity that I seek."

The secret to longevity?

When he said this, Yang Qian noticed that Xun Yi's face was somewhat sinister, which was very similar to when he absorbed the fluorescence from the Five Zombie Beast Sculptures before.

Is it obsession? Or some kind of paranoid evil thought?
"So what was your original name?"

"I didn't have a name before, Xunyi is my name."

Yang Qian didn't delve into this. Many of the monks in the temple were abandoned children, so it was normal for them to not have real names.

"You sought the true Dharma but could not find it anywhere, so you killed Yao Fang's entire family just for the Five Fateful Beasts in his hand?"

Just a name can actually explain a lot of things. Especially for a mage like Xunyi who must have come into contact with the immortal sect, it is natural for him to yearn for it.

Is it that easy to seek immortality? The channel is one thing, but the more difficult thing is the talent threshold. Ninety-nine percent of people can't cross these two levels. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a thing as "using rare treasures as tribute in exchange for the status of a registered disciple".

Once a person falls into paranoia and encounters any stimulation, he will really do many things that ordinary people cannot understand or even imagine.

For example, suddenly killing people and wiping out an entire family!

Xunyi shook his head and didn't look at Wang Shigui who was gesturing with a red-hot iron beside him.

"Sir, can I make a request?"

"What's in it for me?" Yang Qian never minded giving prisoners the opportunity to make demands, as long as he could earn more and save himself more trouble.

But if the person was talking nonsense, he wouldn't mind letting him enjoy the hundreds of different torture instruments in the torture room.

"I can tell you everything I know, which will save you trouble and close the case as soon as possible."

"Okay, tell me what you want."

"I hope that the facts can be made public in the end, rather than having all the lives taken away from me."

Yang Qian nodded and said, "I'm never afraid of trouble when handling cases. I always take responsibility for the lives of the people to whom they belong. I don't have the habit of mistaking people for convenience. Tell me, I want to see how much trouble you can save me."

"I was the one who killed Yao Fang, but I didn't kill his family. He killed them himself."

Xun Yi's calm tone was filled with waves. Not only did Wang Shigui and Zhang Hao beside him widen their eyes as if they had seen a ghost, but even Yang Qian's face changed as well. He had never expected this statement.

"It all started when Yao Fang got the set of five funeral beasts."
