Taoist Master Xu Ping and Taoist Master Yunlei were sitting cross-legged.
"Junior brother, are you ready to try?"
Taoist Yunlei looked at his junior brother with earnest eyes:
"Junior brother, I heard before that you can learn those spells instantly and your talent is extremely high. If you cast them, there is no guarantee that they will have miraculous effects."
"We swore not to use it for evil purposes, but right now we are helping the world and saving people, and saving the common people. It is different. If you enter the door of convenience, you should do the convenient thing. Junior brother, what do you think?"
Taoist Yunlei persuaded him again and again.
Taoist Master Xu Ping looked calm. After listening to his senior brother's earnest persuasion, he coughed and cleared his throat:
"Um...senior brother, you don't need to say anything, I tried."
Taoist Yunlei looked at his serious junior brother with surprise.
Tried it?
So fast!
Isn’t it that all my persuasive drafts are invalid?
Unexpectedly, Taoist Yunlei's face was full of surprise: "Junior brother, how is it?"
"It worked, but it didn't work!"
Taoist Xu Ping lowered his eyes slightly in embarrassment: "The painting spirit in the painting fell in love with me under the influence of the secret method, and was very obedient to me and obeyed my every word."
"Junior brother, you are amazing, you really have talent!"
Taoist Yunlei praised him repeatedly.
Taoist priest Xu Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Senior brother, this does not mean that I have a high talent. I have inquired about it. The painting spirit I met was a female ghost in disguise. This is how the spell works. The painting spirit you met may be a male ghost. That's why..."
"this..."
Upon hearing this, Taoist Yunlei's face suddenly turned green, as if he had a bad memory and looked embarrassed.
After several breaths, Taoist Yunlei finally regained his composure and asked:
"After that, I asked if there were any useful clues."
Taoist Master Xu Ping shook his head repeatedly and sighed, feeling rather regretful: "I'm afraid that the pink skeleton has been on guard against this trick for a long time. The painting spirit didn't know anything about it, and there was no trace of the pink skeleton at all."
"As expected!"
Taoist Yun Lei was quite disappointed and said with emotion: "It seems that we have to track down the Yang Qi Essence to be able to track down the pink skeleton."
Taoist Master Xu Ping asked: "Brother, how is your progress in tracking the Yang Qi Essence?"
Taoist Yunlei muttered: "There has been some progress, and the best one has been tracking twenty breaths at a time. Unfortunately, we encountered the turbulent currents in the Void Dharma Realm, which suddenly dispersed our spiritual consciousness, and all our efforts fell short."
"Pity!"
Taoist Master Xu Ping is quite sorry that his cultivation level is slightly lower, his spiritual awareness is not as good as his senior brother, and his progress is not as good as that of his senior brother, Taoist Yunlei.
"Senior brother, what about the deputy director who is in charge of the rest of the Department of Ghosts and Gods?"
Speaking of other people, Taoist Yunlei shook his head: "Except for the county guard, the two governors are still investigating, and the other deputy governors have given up long ago."
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded, not surprised.
Du Guan Han Chen is the Du Guan of the Department of Ghosts and Gods. When a difficult case occurs, he must perform his duties and be responsible, especially since he has just taken over the position of Du Guan. It is normal to be serious and responsible and to do the facts.
The Sheriff's side is also very simple.
My youngest son was deceived by the "Pink Skull" and his foundation was damaged a little. He was so angry that he naturally would not let it go.
As for the other deputy governors...
It is quite dangerous to track down the "Yang Qi Essence" in the Void Dharma Realm. At the very least, you will lose the power of your spiritual consciousness and damage your cultivation. You have to go back and practice hard to make up for it. Naturally, the deputy directors of the Department of Ghosts and Gods are not happy to track it over and over again.
The "Tianxin Peiyuan Pill" offered as a reward in the "Red Skull Case" can make up for the losses, and even improve the cultivation level slightly.
However, there is only one elixir, and it is only awarded to those who have made great contributions. The rest only get jade coins.
Naturally, the deputy governors were not willing to spend too much money on the investigation, so they could only give it a try and fulfill their duties.
He and his senior brother, Taoist Yun Lei, had no choice. The senior brother was responsible for investigating the case and had a very important stake.
No matter how difficult the case is, they have to bite the bullet and keep trying to track down the Yang Qi Essence, pinning their hopes on luck.
"However, there is not no progress at the moment. At present, we have basically traced the clues of Yang Qi Essence and have determined that the pink skeleton is dormant somewhere in Longling Mountain. However, the specific location has not yet been determined. It depends on which time we are lucky.
, track further, and locate the hiding place of the pink skeleton in one fell swoop.”
Taoist Yunlei did not complain and was still quite optimistic.
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly: "That's all we can do."
After talking about the business, Taoist Yunlei thought of something and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Head, where is Zhenyi? Why didn't you come to sit with me today?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping smiled: "This case is too difficult. He struggled for several days with no progress and was so bored. After leaving the office, I asked him to take the kid to Longling Mountain to hunt for treasure. I guess he should be back soon.
On the way."
"Hahaha, all young men like to explore and hunt for treasures."
Taoist Yunlei's face was full of nostalgia: "I think back then, we brothers and I were running around in the mountains all day long, earning hundreds of jade coins, and never tired of it."
Taoist priest Xu Ping also smiled.
While the two junior brothers were talking, soldiers and horses from Yunlei Nursing Home hurriedly arrived.
"Brother, what happened?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping asked.
Lord Yunlei smiled and said, "Your apprentice is here. He probably has knowledge in the mountains and has come to find you as his master."
Taoist priest Xu Ping was a little surprised when he heard this.
He knows his apprentice very well, is very calm and unassuming, and even if he goes into the mountains to hunt for treasure and has a lot of adventures, he will not find him in a hurry.
"That's not necessarily the case, senior brother, maybe I'm here to find you."
While the two were talking, Chu Chen had already entered Yunlei Residence and went straight to the clean room where the two of them were.
Xu Ping and Taoist Yunlei showed surprise on their faces when they saw Chu Chen arriving in such a hurry:
"Disciple, what's going on? Look at you, you're so angry..."
Before Chu Chen could say anything, a little clever guy couldn't wait to float out and take credit.
"Master~ Master, I have made a great contribution, hahahaha, I have made a great contribution!"
The little ghost boy was so excited that he danced with joy.
Taoist Xu Ping and Taoist Yunlei looked at each other:
"What's going on, little devil, please tell me in detail!"
The little kid puffed up his chest and was extremely proud:
"My senior brother and I discovered the pink skull, and I played an important role in it and made great contributions!"
Taoist Xu Ping and Taoist Yunlei didn't care at all at first. The young man hunted for treasure in the mountains. At most, if he found a good treasure, he could do something big.
But when they heard that they had found the "red skull", both of them looked surprised.
"Disciple (Zhenyi), what's going on?"
The matter was so important that the two of them ignored the unreliable kid and focused their attention on Chu Chen.
Chu Chen nodded solemnly:
"Uncle, Master, we have really found the big demon who looks like a pink skull."
Seeing the master, the uncle didn't seem to believe it. Chu Chen continued to explain:
"In the evening, the little devil and I went into the mountains to hunt for treasures. When we walked to a certain place, the little devil foreshadowed disaster and speculated that there was a big demon nearby..."
"This time, it was indeed the little ghost who made a great contribution. The little ghost foreshadowed bad luck for me, and I had the magical ability to block the secrets of heaven, so he suggested going to the big demon's lair for a walk to see if he could steal the sheep.
"
"As a result... we saw a locust tree demon. Hundreds of ghosts were tied to the tree. Each one of them spoke disgusting words to seduce and seduce men..."
Taoist Xu Ping and Taoist Yunlei looked shocked as they listened to Chu Chen's words.
Based on this description, this locust tree demon is most likely the real "pink skull"!
Is there a clue to the case just like this?
The surprise came too suddenly and unexpectedly. As for Taoist Xu Ping and Taoist Yunlei, they were a little confused and looked at the kid blankly.
The little devil proudly held his chest out, proud and proud.
This case depends entirely on me!
I'm so awesome!
Chu Chen on the side saw this scene and secretly felt funny.
It's really easy to use the little devil as a shield. After a series of arrangements, it was so natural and seamless that he believed it.
