Volume 3: The Case of Hundred Ghosts at Night Chapter 72: What is the purpose

Walking quietly on Ziwu Street, Xu Shizhong was still thinking about what Duan Ming had just said.

He always felt that every word and line of Duan Ming's words seemed to have profound meaning.

Duan Ming, on the other hand, carefully looked at both sides of Ziwu Street, trying to find any clues related to the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Duan Ming stopped, squatted down, and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Shizhong looked at Duan Ming doubtfully.

"This..." Duan Ming reached out and picked up a small piece of white cloth from the ground, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

"Mr. Duan, have you discovered anything?" At this moment, Xing Qianqiu slowly walked over from the direction of the city gate.

"Command!" Xu Shizhong hurriedly saluted Xing Qianqiu.

"Old Xing, come and take a look at this." Duan Ming said, handing the white cloth in his hand to Xing Qianqiu: "I have confirmed that many people did see the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade that night, and also saw a man in white.

Female ghosts are flying around in the sky."

"I also asked many people, and they all said the same thing." Xing Qianqiu took the white cloth and said doubtfully: "This is..."

"Tulle, white tulle." Duan Ming said.

"Tulle?" Xing Qianqiu hesitated: "But how can it be so smooth?"

"This is waxed, which can increase the reflectivity of the tulle and prevent it from catching fire." Duan Ming said solemnly.

In this world, the craft of waxing should not exist.

"Waxing?" Xing Qianqiu said doubtfully, "What is that?"

"You can think of it as a process, which is equivalent to applying a layer of coating on tulle." Duan Ming explained: "But, this is wrong."

"It's indeed wrong." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "It's winter now, who would walk around with a gauze leisurely? Besides, women wear white gauze to be light and breathable, so why bother to do this on it?

Process."

"Indeed." Duan Ming nodded.

This would have been normal in the previous life. After all, the craftsmanship in the previous life had reached a high level. Even if it was waxed, it could still be light and breathable, but it is absolutely impossible in this world.

There are bound to be problems with unnecessary actions.

"Moreover, I just discovered a contradiction while collecting clues." Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu and said, "How long did it take you to get here from the city gate?"

"A quarter of an hour." Xing Qianqiu thought for a while and said.

"Yes, that's a quarter of an hour." Duan Ming nodded: "But Chu Hao and Chen Zheng made it very clear that they saw the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade at Haishi that night, so how long did it take for the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade to get here?

It should be around 1:10 to 2:00 Haishi.”

"However, Sun Wu and Sun Shi went back after calling Yue Ma. During this period, they were delayed by finding someone who was traveling with them out of fear. In addition, they had to cross the Sulin River and get here from the Sulin River, which required a lot of work.

time."

"So, I estimate that they arrived here around the fourth quarter of Hai hour." Duan Ming said: "In that case, why did they meet Baigui here? Is it because Baigui waited for them here for two-quarters of an hour?

?”

"This is something I didn't expect before." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Stayed here for two quarters of an hour? Or do they move very slowly?"

"It should be the latter." Duan Ming said: "There must be some reason that limits the speed of Baigui Yexing, or Baigui Yexing did something to slow down the speed."

"Witnesses!" Xing Qianqiu suddenly said: "Is it to let more people see them?"

"It's very possible." Duan Ming nodded: "Hundred Ghost Night Walk deliberately slowed down his pace to let more people see them more clearly. This further confirmed the theory of Hundred Ghost Night Walk."

"Yes, this is the only way to explain all this." Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "The purpose of the Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night is to cause panic among the people."

"What does the Immortality Cult want to do?" Duan Ming said solemnly: "The recent major cases seem to be so weird and abnormal. What do they want to follow?"

Duan Ming thought for a long time, but could not think of a reasonable explanation.

At the beginning, Duan Ming also thought about whether the Changsheng Sect wanted to overthrow the Qi Dynasty and gain unique power.

But during this period of time, Ming Ming thought a lot and felt that this was impossible.

In the last world, human history passed through so many years, and all kinds of heroes emerged in endlessly.

However, there are almost no people who ascend to the imperial power as members of the sect. Even in some countries where the king's power is divinely authorized, there is no situation where the pope and the emperor are the same person.

Although I know relatively little about the history of this world, judging from the fact that the religions of this world are very similar to those of the original world, even if there are differences, they won't be much different.

In other words, the world should have a similar consensus.

So, what benefit does subverting Daqi have to the Immortality Sect? If the people of the Immortality Sect cannot become emperors, then what is their purpose?

Obtaining higher authority? This is impossible. In today's Daqi, the authority of the Changsheng Sect has almost reached its peak. Except for your Majesty, no one dares to face the several palace masters of the Changsheng Sect.

No slacking off at all.

Even the last time he was at Fanxing Temple, Xing Qianqiu knew that the Changsheng Palace was here to cause trouble, so he still had to be careful when facing the master of Wangji Palace.

And the Master of Wangji Palace is one of the last few Palace Masters in the Immortality Sect.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for the status of the Immortality Sect to be raised higher.

On the contrary, once the current Holy One is overthrown, will the status of the Immortality Sect still be as solid as it is now?

A sect that is trying to change the dynasty, no matter who is re-enthroned as emperor, will probably try their best to get rid of it.

After all, no emperor would want his status to depend on someone else's decision.

Puzzled, Duan Ming couldn't understand what the Immortal Cult did, let alone why people like the Immortal Cult, who pursued immortality, would do what they did.

In addition, whether it is the Karmic Fire Case in Brahma Temple or the current Hundred Ghost Night Incident, the Immortality Sect has even sent a temple master to control and finish the case.

This is just like digging a hole and filling it in yourself, which is full of confusion.

"Okay, if you really can't figure it out, stop thinking about it now." Xing Qianqiu patted Duan Ming on the shoulder: "Mr. Duan, do you have any ideas next?"

"First, send someone to investigate Song Yi." Duan Ming said solemnly: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this person."

"Second, be extra vigilant. Now that Palace Master Chi Yuan is here in person, I don't think the Immortality Sect will be so peaceful."

"third……"

Before Duan Ming finished speaking, he saw a Mingjing Commander walking over quickly and said to Xing Qianqiu: "Commander, Marquis Chu is here again!"
