Late spring has the feel of summer, the dusk is dark, and the warrior comes back with his sword in hand.

At this time, the begonia tree was full of flowers and leaves, and it was not convenient for him to hang up his bamboo hat and sword, so he put them on the table, sat down, picked up the water, and drank.

"How did Luo Gong's investigation go?"

"This harmful thing must really have nothing to do with the man on Fengshan Mountain." Luo Monk put down the water glass and sighed.

"Um?"

"Those women have indeed become mummies, but just as Wu Zuo said, not only are they missing their body fat, but they are also missing their essence and blood."

Luo Monk looked calm and said:

"Without exception, they all have expressions on their faces that look like a smile but not a smile. There is only a red spot on their necks all over their bodies. I don't know what they did, but it doesn't look like the one on Fengshan Mountain.

"I asked their family members and they all said that they went to Fengshan and never came back.

"But I asked two detectives to search for cases in recent years. The two detectives still remembered similar cases. After finding the cases, they found that in recent years, except recently, there have indeed been cases every year.

There have been more than a dozen cases of women being murdered or missing, and if their bodies were found, this was basically the case.

"Most of the yamen are a bunch of bastards. They either say it's the work of monsters, or they blame the one from Fengshan who said they were too thin to find the body. They say they lost weight and regained their beauty, so they followed their lover.

Eloped.

"If there is something obviously strange and the woman's relatives refuse to comply, let the Ministry of Rites ask people from the Juxian Mansion to take action. The Juxian Mansion will often invite one or two strangers to take a look. Some will honestly say that they can't do anything, and some will fool around slyly.

Once, it is said that the ghost will be eliminated. If there is another ghost next time, it will be the work of another demon.

"And I found the families of these women, and after questioning them, I found that they were all killed at least a few days after returning from Fengshan, and some of them had never been to Fengshan at all."

Lin Jue and the junior sister listened carefully and thought hard.

Only the fox lay lazily next to it.

Lin Jue thought about it for a while, but couldn't hear or think about anything. He only heard that it had nothing to do with Senior Hua.

Although he had thought so for a long time, he had to consider the relationship between Senior Hua and his uncle Fuqiu Temple, Hongye Temple, and his second uncle. The two of them also inherited his paper donkey, so naturally

He would be biased towards this senior Hua, so he kept suppressing such thoughts in his mind.

Only when Luo Gong spoke out did he feel relieved.

"It's not easy for Mr. Luo to travel to so many places and do so many things in half a day." Lin Jue admired him sincerely.

Luo Monk glanced at him and didn't embarrass him:

"I don't know why they have become impatient in recent times. They should be looking for targets on the road to Fengshan. The women from before must have something in common. It's just that it's been too long. I asked a few catchers to ask patiently

Regarding their family members, who they met, where they went, what they said, and what they did may not be known until a few days later.

"Someone from the Jianghu community came up with a solution for me, and I think it's feasible."

"Who? What can be done?"

"An old monk who did not observe the precepts reminded me that many people who commit crimes will go back to the place where they committed the crime to check, especially to see what omissions they have left."

"I've heard this saying too."

"Originally, this was a skilled person, and a long time has passed, so the feasibility of this matter is not very high. However, with the talisman gifted by your senior Hua, and by borrowing your reputation, Fan Tianshi's reputation will be better, maybe it can be done

Luo Monk said, "In short, we have to do two things at the same time. Whether we can find him or not depends on God's will."

"There is Mr. Lauro."

Lin Jue paused as he spoke:

"When Luo Gong went out to investigate the case, my junior sister and I also asked a knowledgeable senior Ji Xian to ask. Senior Ji Xian left us a poem. It may not be accurate, but it can also be given to us.

Luo Gong will do this for reference."

The junior sister was holding her chin up and rubbing her face with her chin in boredom. When she heard her name, she cast her eyes on him and immediately stood up and picked up the piece of paper.

Luo Monk took it and looked at it carefully.

"The old immortal opened the furnace in Chang'an. He first took the river water and then the mountains. It is half haze and jade color, half human and half elixir." Luo Monk paused for a moment and immediately grasped the point, "half human and half elixir...

"

"This Ji poem has other profound meanings. Because we have heard this poem before. It was written by a senior Ji Xian that my master befriended when the Corpse Tiger King in Huizhou was secretly amassing money." Lin Jue explained to him.

He said, "Senior Ji Xian used the same poem, so there must be a deep meaning, but I have thought about it for a long time and I am not sure what the connection is."

"Did you get rid of the Corpse Tiger King in Huizhou?" Luo Monk suddenly looked surprised.

Even the crabapple tree in the courtyard seemed to tremble.

That Corpse Tiger King is not something like the Dragon King.

That is the true demon king who has achieved enlightenment.

If a person attains the Tao, he will be a real person, equivalent to an immortal on earth. If he is in heaven, he will never be a small god or immortal. If he becomes a Taoist through martial arts and can protect the emperor, he may be named a true king.

And this Corpse Tiger King is different -

Whether real people or immortals, not everyone is good at fighting. It can even be said that the majority are not good at fighting. Moreover, the older the immortals are, the less good they are at fighting. If we go back to the ancient times when even national wars required three chapters,

, it’s not surprising that some immortals don’t even have magical powers to protect the Tao.

Tigers are naturally good at fighting and fighting.

Luo Seng and Lin Jue have been together for so long, and their understanding of these things has obviously increased a lot.

"It can only be said that it has something to do with us. We discovered it. Then we reported it to Xuantian Temple in Qiyun Mountain. Half a year later, the Three Saints from the South came to the lower realm and eliminated the Corpse Tiger King in three days." Lin Jue explained.

"Senior brother discovered it," the junior sister said.

"So..." Luo Monk suddenly smiled and thought of something else, "That Nan Gong is also a fake?"

"Maybe."

"No wonder you had strange expressions when you heard about Pan Gong and Fan Tianshi that day. But when you heard about Nan Gong, you still had strange expressions." Luo Monk smiled.

"Good memory."

"..."

Luo Monk shook his head and said no more, but continued to hold the piece of paper and read it.

"country……

"Alchemy..."

Luo Monk murmured to himself while looking at the crabapple tree again.

It is said that such "foxes" who live in the city are often good at divination. Luo Monk knows that there are only a very small number of "foxes" who are good at divination. Most of the "foxes" live together with people, eavesdrop on people's conversations, and then communicate with each other.

They also communicate with each other and pass information, so a fox often knows a lot of things and can know things that it seems it shouldn't know.

For example, a fox who lives in the south of the city knows the affairs of a certain family in the east of the city. A fox who lives in the homes of ordinary people knows the family affairs of princes and nobles and even the affairs of the court, so he is considered to be good at divination.

Not sure if this is the case with these two.

But first of all, such things are often mutual. Lin Jue once told these two people not to spread what they heard in the courtyard, so naturally they would not pry into other people's privacy from them. Secondly, these foxes also have

They dare not say anything about their own way of survival, such a big matter. If they say it, they will be "condemned by God". In fact, it is very likely that they will be dealt with by capable people.

While I was thinking about it, there was a sudden movement in the quiet room.

Three people and one fox turned their heads at the same time and looked at Jingshi.

After a while, Lin Jue walked to the quiet room, looked at fellow Taoist Wan who was gradually waking up, and said:

"Fellow Taoist Wan is awake? How do you feel?"

"Lin... Lin Zhenren?" Wan Xinrong was a little confused, "I, how can I be here?"

"You went to Fengshan to find the evil god and were seriously injured. Then I returned to the capital, and Wu Lingshi came to see me, so we went to Fengshan to find you."

"Maple Mountain...Evil God..."

Wan Xinrong murmured to himself, his eyes suddenly widened, and his teeth began to bite:

"A real person except that evil god?"

Lin Jue shook his head: "You are alone, going to other people's territory, and you can still survive until now. Don't you know why?"

"I don't know..."

"I heard that you scolded people badly."

"That monster is trying to get me married! So what if I scold it? I want to peel off its skin, twitch its tendons, drink its blood, and eat its flesh!" Wan Xinrong gritted his teeth and couldn't help crying, "Real person!

That’s my first wife who has been by my side since I was down and out! It’s all my fault! It’s my fault for neglecting her!”

At this time, he looked at him with a sense of friendship.

Being able to go to Fengshan alone to find trouble with the monster in a fit of rage was not a lie. No wonder when Fan Tianshi called him a rogue, he also added a good word to the contrary.

"Fellow Taoist Wan, look at you. He is so full of hatred. If he was really the enemy who killed your wife, how could he leave you alive? Do you think he can't see that you are cultivating the Five Elements Spiritual Method?

The vitality and body protection brought by Xing Lingyun?"

"this?"
