Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 416: Three Eyes Mark
Yang Qian smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect that the first time Fang Yuan sent him a message on the talisman was because of the Rejuvenating Pill.

Previously, he made a bet with Li Su from Baicao Valley in Fengbo City and won a Rejuvenating Pill. He should have gone to Fengbo City again to get it. But Yang Qian couldn't leave now, so he could only ask Baicao Valley to see if they could send the pill to Wulei Palace.

As a result, Baicao Valley was unwilling to go to Wulei Palace, and then directly said that it could help Yang Qian deliver the medicine directly to the person he wanted to send it to. So there was the surprise that Fang Yuan was sitting at home and the anti-aging pill was delivered to her door.

It was only after Yang Qian saw the message from Fang Yuan that he realized that the surprise he prepared for Fang Yuan also contained a shock, but it was a shock that he had not anticipated at all.

Princess Lin?

Don’t laugh at the early blooming of flowers in the sky; I want to pick an orchid branch to give to Concubine Lin.

The reputation of Concubine Lin's beauty spread throughout the Hongwu Dynasty along with Emperor Tai's poems, and there are countless stories about her. She is recognized by the court and the public as the second most favored person in the palace. In addition, Concubine Lin has a powerful family in Beiyuan Prefecture, so she can often be associated with the four words "don't mess with me".

I didn't expect to see Baicao Valley sending pills to Fang Yuan.

coincidence?

How could there be so many coincidences in the world! The Fang family is still the top family in Jizhou Prefecture, but what does it mean in front of Concubine Lin? It would be strange if they could be related.

There was only one possibility, that was that the people from Baicao Valley were being petty and deliberately did this in front of Concubine Lin. I didn't know if it was to flatter or to deliberately disgust Yang Qian.

But it was just a matter of course. Even before Yang Qian arrived at Shuangqing Mansion, he would not care about a woman like Lin Fei with his Jindan realm cultivation.

Threat? How could a jerk like Yang Qian be threatened by a woman?

Not to mention now. Yang Qian's cultivation has reached the Out-of-Body Realm, and he has been studying the "Northern Mysterious Book" and the "Air-Cutting Technique" in Shuangqing Mansion, and he has picked up countless sword intentions. It is not an exaggeration to say that his strength has increased by dozens of times.

If your fist is strong enough, who will threaten you? Unless they are mentally ill or self-righteous idiots. Yang Qian doesn't even need to do anything, there are plenty of people who will help him teach him a lesson.

Putting aside the things that happened far away in Jizhou Prefecture, Yang Qian slowly sorted out the pile of patterns that Juan had asked someone to copy not long ago.

According to Juan, there are many carvings on the bricks and stones near the gates of the four city gates in Shuangqing Prefecture.

There are graffiti like children, nonsense carved by drunkards, and random carvings on bricks based on their own thoughts.
Apart from the text, there were hundreds of rubbings of some patterns alone.

Yang Qian flipped through them one by one, and finally locked onto two patterns.

They are all three-eye patterns. One has two eyes open and one eye closed, and the other has all three eyes open.

Both designs are in the shape of human eyes sketched with simple strokes, with three eyes arranged in a triangle. The vertical eyes are slightly narrower and longer.

The origin of these three-eyed patterns should be the images of evil gods.

The statue of the evil god is a beast head with three eyes, also with two horizontal and one vertical lines, which is very similar to the three-eyed pattern that was copied.

Both patterns were carved recently, and they are not big, only half the size of a palm. There are five in total, one for each of the four gates. The one with three eyes open is on each of the four gates, and the one with the vertical eyes closed is only on the north gate, and is right above the pattern with three eyes open on the north gate. This is definitely the three-eye mark that Zhou Zhong's minions mentioned. Only these two patterns are related to "three eyes".

According to the information Yang Qian got from Linshui City, Zhou Zhong was missing, and even his trusted subordinates didn't know where he went, and they couldn't contact him at all.

The only thing that was certain was that Zhou Zhong was not in any danger of life for the time being. Since Zhou Zhong's "believers" were all fine, Zhou Zhong, the "master", would definitely be fine.

There is a lot of information contained in this speech.

First: Zhou Zhong passed away very suddenly, and it is possible that he did not die of his own will, but because of some force majeure or unavoidable urgent reasons. And he could not tell anyone, not even his "believers".

Secondly, Zhou Zhong's life seemed to be closely related to the "believers". This was not surprising, and it was consistent with Yang Qian's previous speculation from the "blood pill". This was even reasonable, otherwise, the evil thought method created by Jiang Yuhe was so difficult, how could it be easily mastered by ordinary minions?
It is very likely that all the evil thoughts in these minions were given by Zhou Zhong.

As for why they gave, maybe it was because of bewitchment, or maybe it was some other reason. But if they could give, they could definitely take it back. But when they took it back, it was hard to say what would happen to those "believers".

Then the way for the "believers" who had lost contact with their "master" to find Zhou Zhong was to mark the three-eye mark on the gates of the cities where Zhou Zhong might go. This method was not uncommon, and the dark alley gangs that Yang Qian was familiar with liked to use this method to pass messages.

One pattern, one meaning.

There are patterns of three open eyes on the four city gates. Yang Qian believes that these were left by the "believers" in the hope that their "master" would see them and contact them.

What about the remaining two eyes open and closed? Who carved them there? There seems to be another explanation.

"It's impossible that Zhou Zhong is hiding in the city?!"

After this thought came out of Yang Qian's mind, he couldn't suppress it. Isn't there an old saying that goes "the darkest place is under the lamp"?

Yang Qian looked for Zhou Zhong everywhere, but Zhou Zhong went the other way and hid in the city, right under Yang Qian's nose. This was not impossible.

But the problem was that Yang Qian had swept the city many times, fearing that Xiao Cangyu's remnants would cause chaos and trouble in the city. He combed through the city with his divine sense again and again, but could not find any aura that could be Zhou Zhong's.

Seeing Yang Qian frowning, Juan interrupted and said, "Sir, I went to find a professional mason and asked about the approximate time of these rubbings. The three-eyed seal in your hand is the latest batch, which should be around two months ago."

"About two months ago?" Yang Qian was stunned. This time was interesting, it should be the time when he came back from Bianxia City and held a banquet in the city to capture and kill Xiao Cangyu.

Leaning back in the chair, looking at the rubbing with eyes open and closed in his hand, Yang Qian had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, that is, Zhou Zhong had indeed come to the provincial capital, and it was after he killed Xiao Cangyu.

Because during that time, Yang Qian was still sorting out the "Northern Mysterious Book" and often went to various cities to clear out bandits and evil spirits. The action of sorting out the prefectural city was also after that. If Zhou Zhong came and happened to leave before he sorted out the prefectural city, it would be difficult to find his trace.

But even if these speculations are correct, why did Zhou Zhong come to the city and then leave?

Where is Zhou Zhong now? Is he still in the capital?
