Chapter 49 The Judge
Houdu Town·Ye·Li Mansion
The lights were brightly lit, the servants held lanterns, and more than a dozen people searched around the yard with weapons.
Hu Ban, who rushed over to the Holy Prison Gate, soon found out that the groom was knocked out in the horse porch. He counted the horses and found that one horse was missing. The door in the backyard was also opened. He searched and found that there was a horse's footprint.
"This killer killed people, took the horse and ran away!" Hu Ban was angry and whipped at the coma groom. The groom screamed and rolled over, covering his left cheek with blood, shouting: "Come, there are robbers robbed!"
"Idiot!" Hu Ban was even more furious, and he whipped away, and his skin was blooming. The groom rolled on the ground in pain. After the beating, Hu Ban said coldly: "Don't you notify Guanli?"
"Yes!" It was almost morning, and the dewdrops had not dried yet. The sun had just emerged, and a servant rushed towards the Taoist temple.
The Li Mansion is very close to the Taoist temple. It only takes a moment to arrive. A large locust tree was planted in front of the Taoist temple. The bluestone slabs were paved into the road, and some green grass grew in the cracks of the body.
The door of the Taoist temple is a red painted gate. There are two large lanterns at the door, and there is a golden plaque with the words "Golden Rooster Temple". The servant rushed up and knocked on the door with the copper ring on the door.
The copper ring on the door is made of doorbells, all made of copper. When knocking hard, the sound is very sharp and can penetrate a long distance. As the knocking of the door, a twelve or thirteen-year-old Taoist boy came to open the door. His eyes were blurred and his hair was a little messy. He yawned: "Who, I've knocked on the door like this."
"No, I'm from the Li family. The master was killed by the thief today."
"If you want to notify the government, why did you come here?" The little Taoist boy just took him to serve the people and didn't understand these things. But occasionally he saw people from the Li family, and knew that the family was rich and often had money to be respected. However, if something happened to this family, he would not report to the officials and come to find the owner. However, if he didn't care, he just kept notifying him, and then went in again. The Taoist monk stood in the hall, with colorful paintings on the side walls, canopies, treasure banners, and square flags, all of them were immortal officials.
The Taoist boy entered the inner world and knocked on the door. A male voice asked, "I am upset early in the morning, what's the matter?"
The little Taoist boy said, "Statistics, this is true. Something happened to the Li Mansion in the rich mansion at the foot of the mountain. I heard that the master of the Li Mansion was killed at night. He came to the Guanli to ask the Guanli to be in charge. Now the servant is at the door. Do you want him to come in?"
"What? Mr. Li was killed?" The Taoist inside stood up suddenly.
The little Taoist thought about it and found that there was no other Li Mansion in the town, only one family. I heard that the master of this family was called Li Wenjing and said, "The master of the temple, there should be no other big family in the town."
"You go and call your two senior brothers and tell them that I must rush to the Li Mansion immediately!" The master of the spectator said to the little Taoist boy, and then heard another female voice: "Xu Lang, go and be careful."
Speaking of Taoist temples, they were originally Sun Guan and Constellation Temple. The descendants are private property of Taoist temples and belonged to the family and one family. Constellation Temple is the inheritance of Taoist priests who are not married. This Taoist temple is the descendants, so there is naturally a marriage. The little Taoist boy knew that it was the voice of his master's wife when he heard it. The master just ordered that he turned around and left. He did not dare to hesitate and called his two senior brothers.
The temple owner had a gloomy face and looked at the dark sky. This temple was a Taoist temple in the Holy Prison Gate. Li Wenjing, as an outer disciple, did not live here, and had a house in the town.
In this state examination, although Zhang Jieyu felt that he had practiced Taoism and the prescription might not be great, but it was not completely eliminated, so he prepared to give it a try, so he took a few people to the prefecture. Later, a little lost, Li Wenjing returned to the Li Mansion in the county town. He didn't expect that he would be killed if he came back.
This Taoist boy was still careful not to be determined in his age and did not know about the Holy Prison Gate, so the master did not bring him, holding a magic weapon and a long sword. All three Taoists followed the servant.
After entering the Li Mansion, these Taoists entered the inner courtyard in a crying voice. Several young women looked dignified and beautiful, wearing white silk and crying, but their eyes were still charming.
This Taoist felt aroused when he saw it. It was just that a big thing was important. Li Wenjing's home had a ban and Li Wenjing also taught some Taoist techniques. As long as there was danger, he could pass on the message and would never be killed easily. But he never thought he would die just like this.
As he stepped forward and asked, a young woman covered her face and pointed at the bed. When the Taoist looked closer, he looked down at the junior brother who had seen him laughing yesterday, he saw that his eyebrows were full of fear and anger, his lips slightly closed, as if he was still talking before his death. It was indeed Li Wenjing.
The body was covered with a quilt. The man had a calm face and lifted the quilt. He saw that it was a sword mouth that penetrated his heart and carefully examined it, without any other scars.
"It was killed by a wise warrior, and a sword pierced the heart." The sword mark was a small size, pierced deeply, and it was clean and neat. The master of the temple had a gloomy gaze and a serious tone: "You guys, go and check if the ban in the lower courtyard has been destroyed. What's the situation?"
"Yes!" The three disciples responded. The man looked cold and had a layer of frost on his face. He asked his wife: "Madam, tell me the matter again."
The lady turned red and she was picky and said things. When she heard this, she knew it: "It turned out that my junior brother was driving an unblocked meeting and sent off the guard and servants to the outer courtyard. She was killed when she went out."
The Taoist was a little confused and asked again: "Madam, where was the junior brother killed?"
The young woman stood up to lead the way and led the Taoist to a corridor. She saw spots of blood stains coming into her eyes. She followed her forward and saw a large pool of blood, which condensed into blood scabs.
After checking the blood, he called the servants to come over and asked them one by one, but they said they didn't see it. Only the groom saw a vague figure and called him to come over and ask.
The groom was covered with whip marks all over his body, and he knelt on the ground with a timid timidity: "Sister, it's late at night. I heard a sound coming out, and I saw a blurry figure, and I was knocked out by something flying over, and a horse was also taken away."
"I was knocked out and it didn't hurt my life. It seems that I am not only a master, but also not an extremely evil person." The Taoist thought to himself. At this time, all the people sent to check the ban came back to report: "Master, the ban in this courtyard has not been damaged. It seems that people with exquisite channel techniques and swordsmanship sneaked in and harmed Uncle Li."
This Taoist man took a few steps back and forth, and hesitated in his heart, or had eyeliner, it was possible.
"Although Junior Brother Li is just an outer disciple, he has always made suggestions and presided over the secular affairs of the county. In fact, it is more important than many inner disciples."
"He died, and everything in this county will be affected. It seems that he has to check the soul of Junior Brother Li and ask who killed him?" The man gritted his teeth and made a decision: "But the Yin and Yang are isolated, and there is a city god in this place, so I must pay some price."
Thinking of entering the room, he ordered everyone: "You all quit."
Seeing everyone withdrawing, he looked at Li Wenjing lying on the bed: "Junior Brother Li, you and me are in the door, but I am diligent in practicing Taoism. You are good at ordinary affairs and are extremely wise. You assist Mr. Zhang. You are powerful and unfamiliar with Taoism. You have not opened the Tianmen. You can kill someone here with a sword."
I couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't open the gate of heaven, you won't become a ghost immortal, you're just a mortal soul."
After hearing this, the two disciples of this Taoist man stood behind the Taoist man and couldn't help feeling a little sad. The Taoist man stopped feeling emotion and said, "You are guarding the Dharma protector for me. I will go to the underworld next time and ask who it is and kill your uncle Li."
"Yes!" The two young Taoists replied, holding swords left and right to protect the surroundings.
The Taoist took out three incense sticks and lit them on an incense burner. After a moment, there was smoke. The Taoist snatched a little on Li Wenjing and then closed his eyes and fell to his feet.
After a moment, a little light appeared on the head of the Taoist man, and he disappeared as soon as he appeared.
"The master has left his body." The two young Taoists showed envious expressions. This is the ghost immortal.
world
It looked gray, countless gray and dark, and at this moment, a little light appeared in it, and the clear light protected the man, and the hazy smoke surrounded the surroundings.
"The Yin Feng is coming." As soon as we arrived, the Yin Feng blew to the Taoist's clear light. There were Yin Mountains in the distance. Some human-shaped skeletons were walking. From time to time, some monsters appeared to bite and eat these skeletons. However, these monsters did not dare to approach the Taoist, and only looked at them from a distance, as if they were afraid and eager.
From time to time, some inspiration can be seen descending from time to time. It seems that there are little white light. When it falls on the ground, it changes.
"The incense descends to form a very small blessed land, and these must be transformed by the ancestral halls in the underworld."
But these are not places to go, and a trace of fragrance is attracted in front of me. It is the fragrance of the search god just now that led the Taoist toward the front.
Walking straight, seeing a city, white light scattered and a yamen patrol, the Taoist stopped: "Oh, the souls of ordinary people are scattered in the underworld, and maybe no one cares about it. We cultivators are receiving special attention. It seems that the soul of Junior Brother Li has entered the city with the ghost messenger and is under the jurisdiction of this city god."
Ordinary people think that people will go to the underworld when they die. In fact, it is not. First, they are restricted by land in various places and sent to the City God, and then convicted by the City God, whether to stay or punish, or be sent to hell, or return to their hometown to receive incense in the ancestral hall, or arrange to live in the city.
This place is close to the county city. Since we are looking for the divine incense to point to the city, we must have been taken into the city. We have now turned into a light of inspiration and came. Someone in front of the city scolded: "Bold Taoist, this is the place under the jurisdiction of the City God, don't trespass!"
Blocking in front of the Taoist, one person was wearing a tolerance suit, followed by two soldiers.
The man gave a tribute and threw out a decree. The consignee took it and saw it: "So you have a token for entering the city, please come in!"
The Taoist entered the city.
"Any Taoist sect has a relationship with the underworld, so naturally my Holy Prison sect also." The Taoist didn't even look at the naked earth in the city, not because of contempt, but because of awe.
In this world, the county city god and the county city god are not small.
I could enter a house, which was gray-black, but was quite wide, with a faint fire at the door, which was creepy. At this time, a man in an official uniform came out and smiled: "It turns out that he is a fellow Taoist from the Holy Prison Gate. Please come in. I have delicious food and a happy cup. If you come here, you might as well drink a few more cups!"
