Lu Shilang always wanted to find Yan Yu to investigate the matter between her and the consort, but was constantly interrupted by Shen Beizhu. When he was not paying attention, Yan Yu had disappeared.
"Relic? If the relic is used as a guide, it is indeed possible to summon the soul back to the underworld."
The relics are left behind after the death and cremation of a monk with a very high level of cultivation, and they contain all the Buddhist aura that the monk has achieved through his practice.
It is kept by his disciples.
"What a treason. The relics that were finally condensed were ground into powder to summon souls." Yan Yan sighed, "If my ashes are used indiscriminately by future generations, I will probably be so angry that I will come back to life."
"The relics are only the size of pearls. After being ground into powder, they can be used to smear the forehead and limbs of the corpse. The person who stole the corpse should not have any relic powder in his hands."
It was only used twice, once when Yan Yan saw Xu Niang tied to the moon dial in the underworld, and once when he didn't know when, but there were still traces left on the body.
"By the way, why do those corpses controlled by brain-eating insects come to me?"
At that time, Xu Niang's body was the only one in her eyes. Even if there was a fire pit in front of her, she would go over to look for Yan Yan.
"Boss, the ghost power you used accidentally cast a spell on Bai Ling."
"I see." She thought it was because Xu Niang stayed in the soul-locking bag for too long and missed her.
When Yan Yu returned to Sanqian Hall, he just met someone, and soon a group of officials from the Ministry of Punishment surrounded him.
"I'll go by myself, and Mr. Lu will look for me, right?"
In their eyes, Yan Yu now was a woman with evil spirits all over her body. Even if Yan Yu didn't say so, they would not dare to step forward and detain her.
"Miss Yan, you are related to the consort, and you know the origin of the bugs on the corpse. I regard you as the murderer of the consort, and are involved with the witch who manipulated the corpse. You won't blame me, right?"
Lu Shilang skimmed the tea foam in the teacup in his hand.
After seeing Xu Niang's body, they had no appetite at all. Now they were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs and they could only drink two sips of tea to satisfy their hunger.
Yan Yan consciously pinched a candy on the table, held it in his mouth, bit it into pieces, chewed it and swallowed it.
"I am a master from Qingyun Mountain. I came here to find the corpse controlled by brain-eating insects. The corpse's name was Xu Niang. She was the daughter-in-law of the consort's family. I couldn't find the body and thought it was stolen by the consort. , that’s what we talked about that day.”
Yan Yan spoke half nonsense and half truthfully.
"How can there be women in Qingyun Mountain?" Lu Shilang chuckled.
It’s as if he’s making up a lie and doesn’t know how to make it credible.
"I am the master of Qingyun Mountain, and I am practicing in seclusion in Qingyun Mountain. How can a commoner like you know that?" Yan Yan tapped the plate of candy with his fingertips, "otherwise, why do you think Shen Beizhu called me aunt?" ."
What Yan Yan said was unbelievable, but in the process of getting to know each other several times, everything that happened proved that what she said was true.
"Then who is the murderer of the consort? And the person you said stole Xu Niang's body. Are you investigating, have you found anything?"
"I am the Minister of Justice? I hold your official position? Do I get the salary?" Yan Yan knocked the plate crisply, "I still want to ask you, where is the murderer? The emperor came to Sanqian Palace because of the death of the consort. Yes, you haven’t found anything yet?”
"..."
Yan Yu spoke so sharply that Lu Shilang couldn't refute him. Fortunately, he was not too old now, otherwise he would be so angry that he would be so angry.
"The amulet in the hand of the consort is not his." Lu Shilang mentioned the case for some reason, "The amulet that the consort asked for belonged to Princess Jiamin and their unborn child. The one he asked for from the Supreme Palace was to ward off evil spirits. It should be from the temple.
I asked for it from those who came here before."
"You mean someone used an amulet to lure the Prince Consort to the Supreme Hall and then pushed him down?"
Mr. Lu nodded.
The amulet that everyone comes to ask for will be hand-made by monks from wiring to sewing, and each step requires bathing in incense.
The birth date and birth dates in the amulet are not written on paper, but sewn into the amulet, so it takes seven days and seven nights to obtain the amulet.
"We found the Prince Consort's amulet, but it hasn't been sewn up yet. People come and go where the amulet is, and many monks are sewing it. If it's lost, we can't tell who took it."
The clues have been cut off here. Finding a monk murderer in a temple full of monks is almost like finding a needle in a haystack. There are still a few of his cadres who can't even tell the appearance of young novice monks.
Yan Yan's fingertips were still tapping the plate regularly, "Do you know the relics?"
"It is said that it was left behind by the eminent monk after his death."
"How many monks have relics on Wanxiang Mountain?"
Lu Shilang shook his head, "I really don't know this."
Yan Yan picked up a candy and threw it into his mouth, stood up and turned around to leave.
Lu Shilang also stood up quickly, "Is this related to the murderer? I sent people to investigate. Please tell me how the two are related. I told you that we found it..."
Within a few words, Yan Yan had already walked outside the courtyard of the wing, stood in front of Gui Kong, and asked the question to Minister Lu before again.
"Four masters have relics in their hands. The abbot of Sanqian Hall, the abbot of Supreme Hall, the abbot of Wanxiang Hall, and Master Fawu each have one in their hands."
Because the abbot of Sanqian Palace respected Yan Yu very much before, and she explained a few words to him, Guikong told her everything he knew.
The abbots of each hall never leave the hall, and they are accompanied by novice monks. It is impossible for the abbot of Wanxiang Hall to go down the 7,000 steps to kill a prince-in-law.
"Who is Master Fawu? Which palace is he in?"
Lu Shilang, who was listening silently, took a deep breath and came to Yan Yan, "You don't know Master Fawu?"
Yan Yan shook his head, "I told you that I am practicing in seclusion in Qingyun Mountain."
Hearing this, Guikong looked at Yan Yan with bright eyes, "It turns out he is the master of Qingyun Mountain."
Qingyun Mountain is as famous as Wanxiang Mountain, but the two mountains are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the disciples on the mountain have never seen the disciples on other mountains.
"Master Fawu's Dharma is extremely high." Lu Shilang looked at Gui Kong, "But I remember that Master Fawu is not on Wanxiang Mountain now."
Guikong nodded, "We don't know where the master is now."
Since he is not in the temple, he should rule it out first. Yan Yan was not interested in the so-called Master Fawu. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked quietly, "Do you know where the relics of the Sanqian Palace and the Supreme Palace are placed?"
Yan Yan looked so thief, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she was going to steal.
Gui Kong was in a dilemma, "Donor, this is not allowed, this theft..."
"What theft! I'm from Qingyun Mountain, why would I need that relic? I'm not professional enough." Yan Yan doubted, "I just want to see if their relic is still there."
