Chapter 73: Actually there is a snake spirit in Chang'an City
"It's this master..."
Mo Li dodged to the side and let Kong Qing out of the way behind him.
"Zhenwei Qingwei, the master of the Qingdu Temple in Chang'an, is a true Taoist master. Ambassador Li, have you heard recently that the marriage between the eldest daughter of the Yang family, Yang Mudan, and the warrior Ying Guogong was revealed by a
The expert figured it out clearly before it was done, and it was him who did it!"
"The marriage of the eldest daughter of the Yang family, Mudan..."
The salt and iron made Li Xunzhi tremblingly open his eyes, looked at Kong Qing carefully, and nodded in muttering.
"I seem to have heard of this."
When the pretty young woman sitting on the other side, Li Huang's wife, raised her head and saw Kong Qing, she even forgot to cry.
But she seemed to react quickly and continued to lower her head and cry sadly.
"Ambassador Li, please don't take it seriously that Xiao Zhenren is young, but he is by no means comparable to ordinary Taoist priests." Mo Li strongly recommended. "Xiao Zhenren sells divination in front of the Zhuangyan Temple nearby.
If the iron mouth is broken, even the masters of Zhuangyan Temple will have no choice but to surrender."
"where……"
Kong Qing shook the whisk in his hand, raised one hand, and nodded slightly at Li Xunzhi.
"Moli's words really praise Pindao too much. In fact, it's not that Pindao's fortune-telling skills are any better than those bald...headed monks in Zhuangyan Temple, but that the skills are specialized and those great monks practice them.
It is the afterlife, so it would be too...negligent to pay attention to this life."
"You don't have to be too modest, little master. I have heard a little bit about the eldest lady of the Yang family..."
Li Xunzhi waved his hand, turned to look at Li Huang who died in an extremely miserable way, and said bitterly.
"And I swore before my son's body that no matter who can help Huang Er find the murderer who killed him, I will immediately give you a hundred gold. If anyone can help Huang Er get revenge,
I will not hesitate to reward you with thousands of gold!"
"good!"
After hearing Li Xunzhi's words, Kong Qing's eyes lit up instantly.
"Ambassador Li, let Pindao take a closer look..."
"please……"
Li Xunzhi lowered his head, looked at his son who died in a miserable state, then covered his face with his sleeves, let out a whimpering sound, and stepped aside.
Kong Qing held the fly whisk in his hand, stepped forward casually, and began to look at the deceased Li Huang on the bed.
That's right, just like what Mo Li said, only a piece of skin was left on the body of the unlucky man Li Huang who died on the bed. Except for the skull, all the other bones in his body had disappeared without a trace.
Kong Qing stretched out his hand, moved Li Huang's body, and threw an identification technique on it.
Snake slough disguised as human skin:
This is a snake slough cleverly disguised as human skin. After it is filled with water, it can be remotely controlled by the caster and disguised as a living human being.
Hiss!
Kong Qing took another breath of cold air...
Snakeskin puppet, what kind of underworld setting is this?
To be honest, before using the identification technique, Kong Qing really didn't expect that the so-called human skin left by the unlucky ghost Li Huang that Mo Li mentioned was not human skin at all, but a snake slough, and could be used as a puppet.
To use the snake slough.
So……
Kong Qing stretched out his hand and turned over the head of Li Huang, who was disguised as a snake, and cast another identification technique on the skull inside the snake.
Li Huang’s skull:
This is the only remaining skull of a man named Li Huang. From the mottled corrosion marks on it, it can be seen that he seemed to have been soaked in some kind of strong acid.
"strong acid?"
Looking at the appraisal panel, Kong Qing frowned hesitantly at first, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Could it be..."
Then, Kong Qing's hand traced the position of the snake disguised as Li Huang to the damp bed next to it, and then his fingers flickered.
Solution that has not completely evaporated:
This is some solution that has not yet completely evaporated. Its main components include water, amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleosides, biogenic amines and metal ions, some toxic molecular enzymes and toxic proteins, and snakes.
Stomach acid.
"really……"
Kong Qing raised his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"This unlucky guy named Li Huang has already been swallowed by a large snake. Finally, some indigestible things and the skull were spit out... No, the skull can be digested. It was
I spit it out deliberately."
Kong Qing put the whisk in his hand behind his back, lifted Li Huang's body up and shook it with both hands as if he were carrying clothes, and then turned over his clothes.
That's right, there are no traces of corrosion on the clothes...
In other words, this Li Huang was eaten by a large snake without any clothes on. Then the snake filled some water with its own slough to create a lively Li Huang.
Li Xunzhi's home...
The reason why it spit out Li Huang's skull and put it into the body of this doll is probably because the Li Huang created simply by relying on its snake slough does not have the real breath of Li Huang!
Kong Qing nodded and silently put down the snake slough in his hand.
This should be the case. This unlucky guy Li Huang probably met a large snake-like animal in Chang'an City...perhaps it was a snake spirit like Bai Suzhen, and then...the snake spirit burped.
But here comes the problem...
Since this snake spirit ate Li Huang, why did he go to all the trouble to get a snake doll to replace him and return to Li Huang's home, and then arrogantly let Li Huang die in front of so many people?
How miserable...
What does it picture?
No matter how he thought about it, Kong Qing felt that this approach was definitely harmful to this snake spirit.
Then the situation is easy to explain. After eating Li Huang, this snake spirit deliberately replaced him with a snake slough. He must have had his own intentions when he came back here. He should be planning something.
But it didn't expect that just when it returned to this room, the puppet's spell was destroyed due to some accident, and the puppet was exposed.
So what was it planning? And what caused it to be exposed?
Kong Qing stood up and glanced at the furnishings in this room...
"How about it, little real person..."
Li Xunzhi, who was standing aside, asked cautiously after watching Kong Qing stand up.
"Can we now start figuring out the murderer for Huang'er?"
After hearing Li Xunzhi's words, Kong Qing suddenly realized that, by the way, he was a master of Xuanmen, a living god who could know the world's major events in a single lesson, not the kind of detective who needed to piece together clues everywhere... Detective
…
"Ahem...Ambassador Li, please rest assured. Pindao was just looking for your aura on your remains, and now you have captured one or two..."
As he spoke, Kong Qing swung his sleeves, made a floating pose, quickly activated the Six Renshu skill, and started calculating with nimble fingers. "Now, I'll just do the calculations and see what happened to you."
matter."
The next moment, just when Li Xunzhi and the others' eyes were attracted by Kong Qing's flying fingers, Kong Qing's other hand quickly threw the identification technique towards other things in the room:
A few valuable cases:
This is a table made of nanmu. The craftsmen under the Ministry of Industry personally carved exquisite patterns on it and carefully painted it. It is very valuable and can be passed down as a family heirloom.
Carved display rack:
This is a shelf fixed on the wall for displaying valuables. It is made of pear wood and has exquisite patterns carved on it.
Carefully carved coral tree:
This is a coral tree dug from the seabed. It has been carefully carved by craftsmen to make the branches and leaves more natural, making it a priceless treasure.
…
"This is not, this is not, this is not..."
With the tap of Kong Qing's fingers, items in the room were identified one after another.
At the beginning of these items, without exception, various prefixes are added, such as precious, exquisite, meticulous and other words, which made Kong Qing, a Taoist master and moral gentleman, almost feel guilty.
How much money did Li Xunzhi, the salt and iron magistrate, embezzle to buy himself so many luxuries?
"Wait, what is this?"
When another of Kong Qing's identification techniques landed on an ordinary bronze mirror on the wall, the introduction that appeared immediately made Kong Qing's eyes light up.
"That's right, the reason why Li Huang's puppet that this snake spirit used his own snake to shed showed its true form here so suddenly is because of this..."
