Chapter 1,037 The mystery of life and death is about to come to light!
@@Pitch black without moon.
In the East Garden.
Li Yan wrapped his hands around two wisps of black energy, immersed in the ghost's perspective, while Xiao Qian secretly smoothed his hair next to him.
She made her frightened hair smooth again, and she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her embarrassing appearance should not have been seen.
After all, this master became immersed in Guizashi's memories after he obtained them.
But she felt very strange.
Of the two fascinating perspectives, the one she felt was most important was naturally the latter one, which happened to be able to see the front of Taoist Taoist, with his weird smiling expression and completely unreasonable last words.
But from the ghost perspective that could clearly see this detail, Li Yan looked at it carefully.
On the contrary, it was the first bird's-eye view and I couldn't see anything clearly. It took me a very long time to look at it, and I watched every detail over and over again.
When Li Yan raised his head, his eyes became clear, and he felt a sense of wonder: "Thanks to these two replays before his death, I know exactly how Tao Tao died, but there is no evidence yet."
Xiaoqian was confused at first. How could she know the answer after seeing two death scenes with no beginning or end?
Then he became anxious and floated around: "Tell me! Tell me!"
"You're quite curious, that's all."
After all, it was Xiaoqian who was responsible for bribing the spy and getting the key information. Li Yan did not sell it out and analyzed it for her: "What I just observed repeatedly was the process of Tao Taoist rushing to Baicao Hall and hanging himself."
"Have you noticed that the details of Tao Taoist's movements do not look like a Taoist priest with an elegant temperament, but more like a warrior who is not afraid of death?"
After being reminded, Xiaoqian looked at it again and exclaimed: "It seems so."
"Come!"
Li Yan walked into the alchemy room again, went to the shelf where the ancient alchemy books were placed, and took out the "Jianyuan of Alchemy Formulas", "Water Alchemy Materia Medica", "Guide to Creation" and other books: "Look at the annotations above."
These are ancient alchemy books sponsored by Taoist Taoist, and their experience in alchemy is recorded in every line. It is true that he spent a lot of hard work on the alchemy path.
Xiaoqian looked at the handsome and powerful Kai and frowned slightly. Some pictures flashed through her mind, but they were quickly erased by an invisible force.
Li Yan didn't know about this episode. He looked at Tao Tao's calligraphy and commented: "The so-called "seeing words like people" may not be completely accurate, but it is generally correct. Tao Tao's style is obviously Taoist, elegant and out of the world, and rigid.
His domineering style was incompatible with him, and his behavior before his death was extremely abnormal, not only his last words."
Xiaoqian shook her head, came back to her senses and said, "When he was seeking death, maybe he was afraid, so he became different from usual?"
Li Yandao: "There is great terror between life and death. It is normal to lose your temper, but it will not show another completely different style."
Xiaoqian's dark eyes widened and she said tremblingly: "So, a ghost got into his body and made him hang himself?"
Li Yan looked at Xiaoqian who was huddled up angrily. As a ghost, he was actually afraid of other ghosts. Why didn't he inherit his courage?
In fact, Xiaoqian's question was once his conjecture.
The reason why Zhu Qi's Jin Yiwei didn't find any clues and Wu Zuo also believed that it was a sign of suicide was probably possessed by the murderer.
This is actually the second way to die. Homicide is faked as suicide. However, in a world with magic, the method of killing has more mythical elements, and there is no difference in essence.
However, now, Li Yan has rejected this speculation: "At present, it seems that the possibility of possession is very low."
"If you are possessed, and you have considered the possibility of being betrayed by ghosts, you should hang yourself without saying a word. You should not have such an expression or last words;"
"If you don't take it into consideration, this represents the true emotion at that time. The expression on this person's face before death does reveal a sincere joy, which is even more contradictory;"
"So regardless of the influence of external forces, let's look at Tao Taoist himself. He started learning alchemy at the age of six and worked hard for 25 years. He was just thirty years old this year. His last words before his death were, 'I have been waiting for thirty years.
He finally died, but there is actually another more reasonable explanation."
Xiaoqian was stunned, and her eyes were faintly dizzy.
"Go practice!"
Li Yan put away the two black threads, took out a magic weapon for communication, and tapped it lightly: "I want to confirm some more things, and the answer should be revealed."
Whoosh!
Under the dark night, a figure flew by on the wind and landed in the east garden, making the surrounding surveillance personnel useless. It was Luo Wanxiang, a disciple of Chaotian Palace.
However, there were also practitioners in the factory guard, some of whom even went out to Chaotian Palace and Shentan Temple, so Luo Wanxiang was not too presumptuous. He just came by appointment and showed an inquiring look: "Brother Li is in a hurry, but there is progress in the case."
Already?"
Li Yandao: "We do have key clues, but there is still a lack of evidence. Director Luo, I would like to ask about Tao's situation."
Luo Wanxiang's expression changed slightly, he took a deep breath, and said again: "Brother Li, please tell me, if you don't violate the rules of the sect, I will tell you everything."
Li Yan said: "How many alchemists of Tao's level are there in the Tao family?"
Luo Wanxiang thought for a while and slowly shook his head: "I'm not sure, but it should be very rare. The way of alchemy requires a lot of talent and requires a lot of medicinal herbs. For example, the medicinal herbs that Pindao gave to Brother Li before were actually given to a newbie.
There are no alchemy masters who can make any elixirs at all, and they are all wasted. That is a necessary process. It is too difficult to train an alchemy master!"
Li Yan was not surprised. To put it bluntly, alchemy was not that advanced. In the early stage, it was all technical work that made one perfect with practice. The reason why he got started so quickly was because one method can be used to master all methods. It also requires a lot of learning costs, and it is not just a tower in the air.
However, Tao Taoist's level is really great. Among ordinary people, his level is at the upper level. With his age of just over thirty, he has a great future.
So Li Yan summarized this: "So, Tao Taoist has so many ancient elixir books because he is indeed a material that can be made, and it is also beneficial to the Tao family?"
Luo Wanxiang said: "Not bad."
Li Yan asked again: "What kind of person is Master Shenxiao? Is he rigid and strict, speaking his mind to the letter, and can't tolerate sand in his eyes?"
"this"
Luo Wanxiang hesitated for a moment. After all, that person was the leader of the Taoist sect and could not speak nonsense. He carefully said every word: "I once went to the capital and met Master Tao several times. He was kind and generous, with the demeanor of an elder. He taught us sincerely.
, the words are still in my ears.”
Li Yan nodded slightly.
Tao Zhongwen was able to win the favor and trust of Jiajing. Taoist priests whose trust level was only behind Lu Bing, Lu Fang, Yan Song and other few people were mostly flexible-minded and well-rounded people, and they were obviously not the kind of rigid monks.
To further determine the character of the head of the Tao family, Li Yan asked the key: "Since Tao Tao has shown talent for alchemy since childhood, and the clan has indeed provided alchemy support, Master Shenxiao is not an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to adapt. Why is this so?
People are still illegitimate, eager to use the Pure Breath Pill to prove themselves?"
Luo Wanxiang was stopped by the question: "This is really strange."
Li Yan said: "I guess the problem lies with his mother."
To put it bluntly, an illegitimate child means that his mother has no right of birth.
In most cases, it is the head wife who suppresses her mother and prevents her mother from entering the house. The head wife of a wealthy family has all the skills and backgrounds, so the husband can just take concubines. If a wild woman is brought in and trouble starts, the only one who will be disgraced is the husband.
.
In a few cases, the mother's status is sensitive, such as a married woman, the child was born from an affair, or the mother has a low status and cannot be put on the stage.
Another example is that prostitutes are often kept outside the house after they are good, and cannot enter the real house. If their children can be brought in, that's fine. But if they are raised by the prostitute, it is actually equivalent to illegitimate children, and they will not be eligible in the future.
Inherit the family business.
When Luo Wanxiang heard this, his expression changed.
Tao Zhongwen is not a person who doesn't know how to be flexible. If the family has such a talented youngster, he must at least be tied down. Otherwise, if he is snatched away by other forces, wouldn't it be regrettable?
As for how to tie it down, it's actually very simple.
If his mother has passed away and her tablet is placed in the ancestral hall and enshrined, Tao Taoist priest cannot help but be devoted to Mrs. Tao;
If his mother was still alive, she would be considered a prostitute and given a concubine title, and then Tao Taoist would be
If you bring him into a mansion and raise him, then he is no longer an illegitimate child.
Unless his mother could not be put on the stage at all, no matter how much Tao valued his talent in alchemy, he would not dare to let Tao Tao recognize his ancestor and return to his clan before he had made great achievements.
Luo Wanxiang said in a trembling voice: "So, who is Tao Tao's mother?"
Li Yandao: "Maybe we can ask, is Tao Tao Ren's mother a human being?"
Luo Wanxiang's whole body trembled, and his eyes suddenly opened wide: "It is related to the Tao family, and there is no real evidence. You must not dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing! Especially now that Tao Tao is dead, there is no proof."
Li Yan said: "There will be evidence. What if Tao Tao knew his life experience early and used it?"
"The young master of Baicao Hall mentioned something to me. Tao Taoist visited various places to collect medicinal materials called 'Pure Inspiration Pill'. However, the old Chen family clerk who was sent out asked at the drug stores in surrounding towns and found that none of them were available.
Having seen this Taoist, Chen Shaodong’s family thinks that he is just a swindler and does not really know how to make alchemy.”
"This idea is correct. Even if rare medicinal materials are collected from sacred mountains that are rarely visited by people, most medicinal materials must be supplied by drug stores, unless Tao Taoist has special medicinal herb channels."
"For example, the 'Hui Yuan Dan' is a medicinal material that is hard to find. Some of them have long since disappeared and there is no substitute, but they have been successfully refined. This is very strange. Fortunately, many nobles still have them in their hands. I can't come forward, but I hope Luo Dao will
Once I get a few grains, I want to analyze their ingredients."
Luo Wanxiang took a deep breath, bowed his head and saluted: "Understood! I will come back as soon as I leave!"
After the two of them finished speaking, Xiaoqian floated back with an expression of sudden realization: "Is my guess correct?"
Li Yan nodded approvingly: "Yes, once it is proven what Tao Taoist used to make alchemy, the mystery of his life experience and death will also be revealed!"
