"Shen Bin has been holding candles and drawing, and hasn't gone anywhere else or done anything else?"
"right."
"He painted all night?"
"Yes."
"What are the paintings?"
"There are landscapes, people, and some city scenes."
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly.
It sounds like Shen Bin really has no problem.
But he still did not give up his suspicion and asked again: "Have you checked those paintings? Are there any problems?"
Zhu Xiucai shook his head and said: "Shen Bin has been staying in front of the painting and has never left. I can't check it. I tried to lure him away so that I could sneak over to check his painting, but he ignored the noise around him and was completely immersed in it. Into the painting.”
"Stay in front of the painting?"
Qin Shaoyou remembered something.
"I remember that you took someone to keep an eye on Shen Bin at three o'clock last night, right?"
"yes."
"When did you come back this morning?"
"Chen hour and four quarters."
Qin Shaoyou calculated the time in his heart.
The third quarter of the Xu hour is about 7:45 in the evening, and the fourth quarter of the Chen hour is almost eight o'clock in the morning.
In other words, Shen Bin concentrated on painting for twelve full hours.
No rest, no water, no food, no even going to the toilet...
Isn't he too able to endure it?
Although he only took a glance at it from a distance yesterday, Qin Shaoyou could clearly see through the [Bright Eyes] talent that Shen Bin was in poor condition, both physically and mentally.
Then why can he endure it so well?
Is it the longing for his wife and children that gives him motivation?
Or is there something weird hidden inside that hasn’t been discovered yet?
Qin Shaoyou thought of this and asked Zhu Xiucai: "When you come back, are there any of our people who will continue to keep an eye on you?"
Zhu Xiucai nodded: "Old Xu is there."
Qin Shaoyou immediately said: "Send someone to tell Lao Xu to keep an eye on Shen Bin and see what time he eats, drinks, and poops today."
"yes."
Zhu Xiucai immediately called a strongman and gave him a few instructions, asking him to hurry up and deliver the order.
Qin Shaoyou waited for Zhu Xiucai to finish all this, and then asked: "Where is that nursery rhyme? Have you found the complete content?"
"not yet."
Zhu Xiucai shook his head and said: "After you gave your order yesterday, I asked someone to help me check. As a result, this morning, they found many similar nursery rhymes, but they did not include the phrase 'lie down with your mother after eating'."
After a pause, he couldn't help but said: "Sir, could it be that you heard wrong yesterday?"
"You won't hear wrong." Qin Shaoyou was very sure.
Although the sound of yesterday's nursery rhyme was erratic and vague, he heard this sentence very clearly and could not be wrong.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Where are the children who sang nursery rhymes yesterday? Have you found them and asked them?"
Zhu Xiucai had a strange expression: "I found it, but the children said that this nursery rhyme was not sung by them. And they were just playing around at the time and did not sing the nursery rhyme."
"They didn't sing it?" Qin Shaoyou looked surprised.
Although there were many children on the street at that time, there were only a few children in the direction where the nursery rhymes came from.
If it wasn't them who sang it, who could it be?
Qin Shaoyou thought for a moment, but still had no clue, so he ordered Zhu Xiucai to continue investigating.
"Yes." Zhu Xiucai accepted the order.
Then he smiled and said: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. Congratulations on your promotion to the seventh level of refining the realm."
Upon hearing this, Monk Ma and several other strong men who stayed in the mission room also gathered around and congratulated Qin Shaoyou.
"How did you know that I was promoted to seventh rank?" Qin Shaoyou was surprised.
He hasn't even talked about it yet, how come these people know about it?
"We heard what others said." Zhu Xiucai explained with a smile.
Monk Ma also said: "Everyone in the Demon Suppression Department is now spreading rumors that it only took you one day's work to break through the bottleneck and successfully advance to the seventh level of refining the realm. Your talent is astonishingly high."
Qin Shaoyou understood that this news must have been spread by Xin Lu.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xin Qi is still a big talker. It seems that you should not get too close to him in the future, otherwise he will expose you if anything happens.
In fact, Xin Lu was not a big talker. He just expressed his appreciation for Qin Shaoyou's talents to a small flag officer under his command, and also told him to keep it a secret.
Unexpectedly, this little flag officer patted his chest and said he would keep it a secret, then turned around and told the matter to his subordinates.
This little flag officer also told his subordinates to keep it secret.
Then things spread like this...
Of course, the reason why it will spread is because everyone feels that this matter is not a secret and is just spread as gossip.
If it is a secret involving a case or a demon, even if you give them a hundred courages, they would not dare to pass it on like this.
Now this matter has not only spread, but also has several different versions.
It is normal to say that Qin Xiaoqi has good qualifications and high talent, so he can practice quickly.
But there are also some abnormal versions, saying that the reason why Qin Xiaoqi practiced so fast and made such a smooth breakthrough was because he was proficient in the art of harvesting yin and replenishing yang, and was able to replenish the banshee and the female ghost to strengthen their cultivation.
I don’t know which talented night watchman made up this version of the legend. Although everyone knows that it is ridiculous and cannot be true, it is very popular.
If this situation continues, maybe this story will spread to the Demon Suppression Department, and the storyteller in Goulanwasheli will come up with a "small flag officer's gun to pick on the beautiful fox demon, and the seductive ghost seeks the true essence in the middle of the night"
storytelling.
Qin Shaoyou thanked his subordinates for their congratulations, and then went to the scripture collection room to select his secret knowledge.
When he was about to go out, Xu Baan came over.
After entering the door, Xu Ba'an looked Qin Shaoyou up and down and marveled.
"I heard someone said that you had a breakthrough. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true. Brother Shaoyou, you are really amazing!"
Qin Shaoyou shivered for no reason.
If you are praised well by a woman, you will feel proud, but if you are praised well by a man...
Why is it so awkward?
Xu Ba'an didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Brother Shaoyou, you don't know that after the news of your breakthrough spread, the general banners in our Demon Suppression Department all had their thoughts in mind and wanted to go
Go to Master Baihu and apply to transfer you to their command."
Although the Demon Division in Luocheng Town only has a hundred households, the number of night watchmen has already expanded to more than 300, and there are also six general flag officers.
There is no way around this.
In recent years, there have been more and more incidents of demons and ghosts causing trouble, and there are also cults such as the Black Lotus.
If the Demon Suppression Department does not expand, it will simply not be able to cope with the current manpower alone.
Qin Shaoyou knew Xu Baan was teasing him, so he smiled and asked, "Brother Xu is here to recruit me too?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Xu Baan waved his hands repeatedly.
Others didn't know it clearly, but he knew that Qin Shaoyou would soon be promoted to the position of commander-in-chief.
Recruiting the general banner as a subordinate, do you really think that you are a master of a hundred households?
After joking, Xu Ba'an got down to business: "I'm here, firstly, to see if you really have a breakthrough, and secondly, to tell you about the relationship between Fan Zhengqi and Fan Zhengchun."
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are these two people really related?"
