The two of them searched for it all night and returned home with a full load.
This demon fox has some wealth. If all the savings of a century-old demon were exchanged for ordinary gold and silver, it would be more than enough to compensate seven or eight victim families; the wealth of a cultivating creature is completely different from that of an ordinary mortal. a concept.
They left nothing for Jianjia Temple, and it was impossible for Master Nanneng to accept this kind of property; it was the same for the two of them, they couldn't get their hands on these things, as it was a small gain but a big loss.
After solving this decades-long mystery, it's time to enjoy the moral fruits, and you would be foolish to get rid of these things.
The final result is probably to be released to do some livelihood projects, or to subsidize the victims in other cases; not every unsolved case can find the murderer, and every murderer is as good at financial management as Hu Wen.
On the way back, the lantern-carrying monk was very dissatisfied, "Did you already know that the demon fox was stealing Wen Qi?"
Hou Zi spread his hands, "To be honest, this is the first time I've heard that Wen Qi can be stolen? I just have some doubts, but I'm not sure. I still remember that I told you that I had three questions, but you interrupted me and didn't say the third question. What?"
The lamp-carrying monk really wanted to tear this mouth apart, "Why do you mean I'm interrupting? It's obviously you who deliberately concealed it and didn't want to share the information!"
Hou Zi ignored his complaints, "There are many rumors about the specific number of victims, but there are also many fabricated cases just to attract attention, which are actually ordinary cases; there are also some accidental incidents, such as being really stimulated. , hurt by love, crazy for money.
Among the seven or eight cases that I was able to identify, I found a very interesting commonality, that is, the victims were all scholars and well-known poets!"
With a proud smile, Lao Xingji took action and could always find details that others overlooked in the clues. This was his old profession and he was proud of his professionalism.
"If you just pick up yang and replenish yin, there will be many dandy boys in the world, who are more likely to be fooled and find targets more easily.
They are all local scholars who are famous for their poetry. This is also very strange. You know, scholars do not just write poetry, and the major exams will not test these poetry skills.
The question becomes, why do these victims have such a commonality?”
Lantern hummed: "So when you wandered around Jianjia Temple for a whole day, you were actually studying the inscriptions and postscripts of the Demon Fox?"
Hou Zi nodded, "Yes, so I didn't hide it from you on purpose, because I don't know what these questions mean. I only know that the demon fox is very interested in human poets, but what is the connection between them? This is the reason why I came to Jianjia Temple, I just wanted to get in touch with the demon fox and see its reaction?"
The two of them were trusting each other, and Hou Zi was sorting out his thoughts. He didn't want to hide it from the monk, because there were still several mysterious serial cases waiting for them to solve. If he didn't want to exhaust himself, he needed a powerful helper. This monk Not an ordinary person.
"It wasn't until I entered Jianjia Temple that, thanks to the absence of Master Nanneng, I had the opportunity to fully admire everything in the temple. Originally, I wanted to see if there were any traces of the demon fox's activities in the temple, but no traces were found. Instead, I found out that it had done something to show off. The inscriptions left behind.
Some of the inscriptions and postscripts looked very familiar, some were a noun, and some were a short sentence, which vaguely gave me the impression that I had read them somewhere. Then I realized that some of these inscriptions and postscripts were actually the hard work of those scholars.
This demon fox is plagiarizing! In order to integrate into the human world, it ended up focusing on writing poetry. It thought that if it could write poetry, no one would regard it as a monster anymore. However, I am afraid that he has not yet mastered how to write poems.
The secret of poetry, so we can only borrow it first?"
The lantern-carrying monk looked at him, "Then you found two poems on those two bamboo slips? The demon fox thought that only he knew the poems and that they had not been circulated? Then you started digging holes and followed the rhythm of these two poems.
I made two more songs just to draw out the plagiarism.
Wait, we have been together all this time, and I don’t seem to have seen you take out those two bamboo slips, nor have I seen you, unless..."
He shook his head in disgust, "I understand. Are you going to the toilet to compose poetry?"
Hou Zi was still arrogant, "Can't I write a poem in just a few steps? It's just a basic skill. I'm just too lazy to do it."
The lantern-carrying monk was silent. Although this guy always acted inexplicably, he had to admit that there was a lot of wisdom in it. It was the sum of responsibility, courage, strength, intelligence, and a little luck.
Now it seems like a blind cat will kill a mouse, but if it were him who touches it, he will definitely not touch it.
This is the ability to do things, a perfect entry point. If you find this point right, as soon as you pull the thread, all the troubles will be solved.
Before, he thought this was just the sword cultivator trying to please others, but now it seemed that anything was possible. He could not allow himself to stay out of such an action and give up all the glory to the Quanzhen Sect.
no way!
...A few days later, a piece of news spread in the streets of Xiong'er. The case of the demon fox was revealed and the truth was revealed!
The Dharma Assembly at Jianjia Temple proved this. Master Nanneng, a highly respected and respected old god, personally admitted it in public and took responsibility for it. There was also the Demon Fox's Skin as proof.
If this alone cannot dispel everyone's suspicion, then everything that happens next will be very fantasy; several victims, including Qian Shusheng, began to return to normal, although they will never be able to return to their original state of quick thinking, and they will never be able to return to normal.
You may rush for the exams to become famous, but there is no problem in living as an ordinary person.
This is already the best result, and the government office also paid enviable compensation to each victim family. I heard that the demon fox's property was confiscated.
When these were added together, people finally understood that the mystery that had troubled the residents of Xiong'er for decades had been successfully solved, and the person in charge of the entire investigation was the governor of Yan State, Xinye Monk.
For a time, Yan Guo and Xin Ye had a good impression among the residents of Xiong'er Town, and what followed was an overwhelming number of appeals. Everyone hoped that they could get justice, even if they lost a chicken or duck, or had a few disputes with their neighbors.
Sentences.
The lantern-carrying monk thought that the two of them would be able to show off their talents and restore clarity to Xiong Er, but under the pressure of the swarm of cases, he found that he had fallen into another huge pit for no reason.
You can't refuse yet, otherwise everything you did in the early stage will be in vain, but this kind of paperwork is not what he is good at.
A few days later, while the two were immersed in the paperwork, an unexpected visitor walked in.
Taoist Zhisun looked at them seriously, "Meng Dong's changes cannot bypass Tahao Gate. This is the rule."
