In fact, the second case mentioned by Taoist Zhisun is not strictly a case, but that as the monks in charge of Xiong'er Town, they have the right to interrogate the practitioners who are stranded here. Of course, the passers-by cannot control it, but if it is temporarily
To settle down, at least have a rough understanding.
Such a situation is not necessary in other places. For example, when he was in Yin Ling, he never cared about the cultivators who came to travel and explore, because it was the territory of the Quanzhen Sect with clear ownership and no one dared to cause trouble.
It's different here. It's jointly managed by three companies, and the authority is not very clear. It's easy for someone to take advantage of the loopholes. Especially when they are still investigating old cases, they need to have a clear enough control over the cultivation dynamics of the entire Xiong'er Town.
This is not an unclaimed land. If you are staying temporarily, you need to say something. The more remote the place, the more so.
"I've been a little anxious and stressed lately. How about I take a lazy trip to see what kind of person my new friend from Jishan is? Let's go to the Lantern Master for the Gujing corpse case? You Buddhists are very capable and have many tricks. I am
It’s absolutely worse than that.”
The lantern-carrying monk was speechless, "When I want to be lazy, I become a master? Don't you usually call me a monk smoothly? I am already very grateful to you for not calling me a bald donkey."
I'll just go by myself, it doesn't matter. Even though I've been anxious about this for a while, why do I keep getting anxious? Is this an excuse for not wanting to do things?"
Hou Zi sighed, "Well, everyone seems to be a little anxious. It would be false to say that we are not anxious at the current state. It is difficult for our mentality to be unaffected by the state. By the way, how do you decompress?
"
Taoist Zhi Sun really said, "Drink."
The lantern-carrying monk is an alternative, "Flower Spirit Stone."
Hou Zi was amused, "Your way of relieving stress is quite unique. Who taught you this?"
The lamp-carrying monk thought for a while, "It seems that a senior said when I started that regular consumption of spiritual stones can effectively reduce stress. Later I tried it and it really worked."
"Where do spiritual stones come from?"
"He didn't say that."
Hou Tzu, "..."
Hou Zi had other considerations in choosing the mission of Jishan. A few days ago, he asked for a letter, saying that he wanted to come to Jishan to find an opportunity and invited him to go with him. He could not refuse.
He is not keen on opportunities, and he will not reject them when he meets them. He would be too diligent in looking for them. Is what he can find still an opportunity?
But he is the landlord of Xiong'er, and senior brother has finally come here, so he should accompany him. It just so happens that the mission of Taoist Zhisun is also about Jishan, so it is better to do it smoothly.
There are strange monks in Jishan, and Xiang Zhiwen deliberately came to look for them. He couldn't tell whether there was any connection, but he had to take a look. This was the place he was guarding, and he couldn't turn a blind eye either emotionally or rationally.
.
There were still a few days left before the appointment with Xiang Zhiwen. He planned to set off now. It would be appropriate to wait until he found out the details of the strange monk before meeting up with his senior brother.
After the discussion, the three of them went their separate ways. Taoist Zhisun continued to confirm the nature and background of the cases. The monk holding the lamp went to the well to feel for stones and could casually perform rituals. A clear division of labor and no interference was the best for them.
Efficient arrangements.
It has been more than a few months since the demon fox incident, and the investigation of old cases is gradually coming to an end. According to Hou Zi's proposal, the public opinion environment of the entire Xiong'er Town is developing in a positive direction. This is his purpose, and he does not care about the fairness or wrongness of a single case.
What he cares about is repairing the gradually severed relationship between mortals and the world of cultivation.
Learning to accept coercion is a basic skill for safe development.
