Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 40 Yin Yang Double Gu
Li Canghai frowned, he stared at Huiguang intently, as if staring at a suspect.
Hui Guang chanted the Buddha's name, and said calmly: "You two benefactors, please come with me."

Huiguang's expression was calm, without any embarrassment, he bowed slightly and walked forward.
Li Canghai's face was slightly cold, he and Di Qing followed after thinking for a while.
All the way to a noodle restaurant, Huiguang asked the shopkeeper to order three plain noodles, and then sat on the stool in silence.
Li Canghai and Di Qing looked at Huiguang, Huiguang ate three servings of plain noodles by himself.
It wasn't until he finished eating that he clasped his hands together and said, "You all saw that the little monk went to the place of fireworks."

Li Canghai remained silent, Di Qing blinked her eyes and said: "Master, monks are human beings, they also have seven emotions and six desires, and they can't get rid of worldly thoughts. It's not terrible, but it's not something to be ashamed of."

Li Canghai almost fell off the chair, he thought to himself, this girl's level of comforting people really hasn't improved at all!
Huiguang smiled lightly, chanted the Buddha's name and said: "Miss Di is joking, the monk has been a monk since he was a child, and he has already cut off his sexual desires, so how can he care about other people's opinions?"

Di Qing widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "I guessed wrong? Master, why did you go to a brothel if it wasn't because of lust?"

"Amitabha, I went to the place of fireworks to investigate this." Huiguang took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and put it on the wooden table.
"What is this?" Di Qing picked up the bamboo tube and shook it, then exerted a little force with her fingers, and the bamboo tube was split into two halves from the middle.
"Ah! How could there be bugs!" Di Qing screamed, and hurriedly threw the bamboo tube on the table.

Li Canghai picked up the bamboo tube and looked at it carefully.

Those worms were red all over, especially in the tail pouch, as if they were filled with burning coals.

"This bug is called 'Fire Melting Gu', and it is called 'Yin-Yang Double Gu' together with 'Mysterious Ice Gu'. Its characteristics are exactly the opposite of 'Mysterious Ice Gu'. 'Mysterious Ice Gu' can generate cold air, But the 'Fire Melting Gu' can generate flames."

Di Qing leaned over at this time, stared at the Gu for a while, and suddenly shouted: "I remembered, 'Melting Fire Gu' seems to be the Holy Gu of Miaojiang."

Li Canghai frowned slightly, he asked in doubt: "What is the relationship between these two?"

Huiguang nodded approvingly to Di Qing, and said: "Miss Di is right, the 'melting fire Gu' is produced in southern Xinjiang, while the 'Xuanbing Gu' is produced in the ice field, although there is a huge difference between the south and the north. Far away, but the two are like fire and water.”

Li Canghai understood the meaning, these two kinds of bugs are Yin and Yang poles, they are the exterior and interior of each other.But he didn't understand what Huiguang wanted to say.

Seeing the confused faces of the two, Huiguang explained: "The little monk once said that the 'Xuanbing Gu' can't penetrate the skin of a living person, and all of them are in the sleeping state of the Gu. Donor Li still remembers that during the autopsy, Have you ever been almost penetrated by a Gu insect?"

Li Canghai nodded, if it wasn't for the old man's quick reaction, he used the autopsy knife to pierce the palm of his hand and picked out the Gu worm, the old man's life would have been lost.
"At that time, the little monk thought it was strange that Gu worms used corpses as hosts, and they should have fallen into a deep sleep, but why did they suddenly wake up and be so aggressive? So after burning the corpse, the little monk took away a few relics of the deceased Go back to the temple and check again."

Having said that, Huiguang paused, and he took out a hanging chain and put it on the table.

Li Canghai only glanced at it, and immediately recognized that this thing belonged to the dead gopher doorman.

"The little monk asked the master about the doubts in his heart. The master said: Everything in the world has its karma. When the karma comes, it will gather, and the karma will separate. The thing appeared. The little monk checked the relic many times, and finally found the 'melting fire Gu worm' in this talisman."

He can fully understand Huiguang's words. To put it simply, these two Gu insects are like Yin and Yang polar magnetic fields. Although they are incompatible with each other, as long as they get close, they will react.

It's just that this matter is too miraculous. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that there is such a miraculous thing in this world.

"I understand. Master means that the 'Xuan Ice Gu' lurking in the human body is not aggressive, but because it sensed the threat of the 'Melting Fire Gu', it began to wake up." Di Qing suddenly said with a nod.

Huiguang smiled slightly and said, "Exactly."

Li Canghai shook his head. According to this statement, the member of the Gopher Sect should have died a long time ago.

But in fact, he died by being nailed into the brain by Li Er.

Unless, Li Er was lying, or he didn't pay attention at all, that person was dead before he did it.

If this is the case, the case, which was originally the truth, has become even more confusing at this time.

When encountering incomprehensible problems, Li Canghai would close his eyes, rub his eyebrows and think.

Di Qing had long been used to him not speaking suddenly, but Chao Huiguang, whose eyes were shining brightly, asked, "What does this have to do with brothels?"

Huiguang rarely showed a trace of shyness, he put his palms together slightly, recited the Buddha's name, and said: "To be honest, I went to the Cuihong Tower to find the swan geese benefactor to confirm the 'melting fire Gu worm' for the little monk."

"Hongyan? Is that the top card of Cuihonglou? Can she identify Gu worms?" Di Qing widened her eyes and shouted in surprise.

"The swan geese benefactor is from Miaojiang, and his knowledge of Gu insects is far better than that of the little monk. It was only through her identification that the monk was able to confirm that this bug is the 'melting fire Gu insect'." Huiguang replied honestly.

At some point, Li Canghai woke up from his contemplation. When he heard Huiguang talk about Hongyan, his heart suddenly moved.

"Master, do you know Hongyan?" Li Canghai asked slightly surprised.

Huiguang nodded, and said: "Sponsor Hongyan once rescued a benefactor who was bitten by a poisonous snake in the White Horse Temple half a year ago. It was also at that time that the little monk met Master Hongyan."

Li Canghai snorted, and kept tapping his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.

After a while, he bowed to Huiguang and said seriously: "Just now I misunderstood Master and thought Master was a monk of wine and meat. It's really a sin. I hope Master will not blame you."

"Amitabha, benefactor Li is serious. As a monk, it is already a sin to haunt the place of fireworks. How can I blame the benefactor." Huiguang hurriedly returned the salute.

"Master's words are wrong. The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so how can there be discrimination because of their status?" Li Canghai said with a sigh of relief.

After a moment of silence, Huiguang couldn't help asking: "Benefactor Li, why are you and Miss Di here so late?"

Huiguang didn't seem to know that there were murders. Li Canghai frowned and said, "Master doesn't know. Two more murders happened today."

After listening to Li Canghai's description, Huiguang was also surprised and continued to recite the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, I didn't expect so many things to happen in one day."

Di Qing was fiddling with the hanging chain amulet. Li Canghai looked at the amulet and suddenly had an idea.

He hurriedly said to Huiguang: "Master, I would like to ask you to go and have the two corpses checked again to see if the symptoms are exactly the same as those of the previous corpse?"
