When the sky was just getting dark, fishermen on Yongyuan Lake discovered the drifting boat, and naturally also discovered the body on the boat.
Since the corpse was not dressed like an ordinary person, the fishermen were about to report it to the government.
Then not long after, two afterimages suddenly flashed, and two figures wearing cyan costumes and wearing iron orders appeared.
A majestic heavenly gate was carved on the iron order, surrounded by cloud patterns. As the iron order shook, the cloud patterns also flowed faintly, just like real clouds, which was quite magical.
When the onlookers on the shore saw the clothes of these two people and looked at the tokens, someone whispered: "The Taibao of Shenxing is here."
Then, everyone stepped aside, obviously very familiar with the identities of these two people.
Shenxing Taibao is subordinate to Nantiansi. In addition to delivering messages, some people also perform other functions in Nantiansi, such as investigating murder cases and chasing down murderers.
There is no other way, who told the Shenxing Taibao to run fast?
Feng Yunjie straightened his clothes, his stubbled face was full of solemn expression, and he led the young man behind him onto the boat to inspect the body.
The young man who came with him looked to be in his twenties, but his actions were quite experienced, and he was obviously not a novice. After getting on the boat, the young man took out a book, flipped through it quickly, and finally stopped on a certain page.
.
"'Chu Jiang, the Ghost Whip, is at the seventh level. He was originally a gangster, but was later accepted as a non-staff member by our company." The young man quickly read out the record.
Feng Yunjie glanced at the broken whip on the boat and said, "It should be him."
"This... was actually recruited into Nantiansi by Zuo Shu." The young man said this with a look of surprise.
The chief envoy is already a high-level person in the Nantian Division. Only the fifth rank can hold the position. Even if you look at the world, he is also a figure.
These two people really didn't expect that this former criminal thief would be related to Nantiansi's emissary.
"No wonder he asked the master to come..." The young man felt astonished.
Feng Yunjie, on the other hand, had already begun to carefully examine the body.
However, no matter how he checked, he could only find no injuries. Even if he injected Zhenqi into the body, he could not find any internal injuries.
"It doesn't seem like he was intimidated by the momentum." Feng Yunjie said in a low voice.
If the difference in strength is too great, it is possible to be crushed to death by the momentum. However, most of these people will suffer from liver and gallbladder injuries, dilated pupils, and have the characteristics of being frightened to death. People who have been dealing with corpses all year round can see this.
.
In other words, it can basically be ruled out that it was done by vulgar warriors.
Then all that's left are spells that hurt the soul.
"Has Judge Cui from the Yin Law Department returned?" Feng Yunjie asked.
"Not yet," the apprentice shook his head and said, "The first one is still in Yongzhou, and Judge Cui has been detained in Yongzhou and has not returned yet. Recently, the Yinlu Division is unwilling to cooperate with us in investigating the case."
Having said this, the apprentice showed a wry smile.
The first one must suppress Yin Lusi this time. This should be a good thing for Nan Tiansi, but it may not necessarily be the case for those who usually come into contact with Yin Lusi.
In a murder case like this, in the past, you only needed to go to the Yinlu Department to make connections and ask Judge Cui to tell the person's death place, and you would have a good start. Unlike now, you can't even estimate where the person died.
allow.
Longyuan Lake is so big, who knows where this boat came from.
"Then we can only check it ourselves."
Feng Yunjie took out a storage bag, put the body away, and then suddenly waved his hand to let the boat leave the shore.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Iron Pillar View."
Feng Yunjie said, and with his strong energy, he drove the boat straight to the distant Longevity Mountain at an extremely fast speed. It was a lightning-fast ride. Not long after, he arrived at the nearby lake.
Ships of various sizes also came into their sight at the same time, and there were many people in front of the Iron Pillar View not far away. Although it was early in the morning, it was quite lively.
"Master, I'm here for Young Master Jiang." The young man whispered.
In one night, the fight between Jiang Li and Yuan Zhen spread throughout the city and became the talk of the streets.
Most people don't know the current undercurrent in the city of God, and even some of the children of aristocratic families and officials may not know about it. After hearing this news, they naturally want to take a look at the two of them.
Especially this year, the flowers in the city of God are blooming all year round, which is a grand scene that has not been seen in hundreds of years. It has attracted elegant people from all over the world to come together. The two collided, making it even more lively.
"Master, what should I do?" the young man asked.
"Just avoid it."
Feng Yunjie grabbed his apprentice's shoulder and turned it into a blurry afterimage. In an instant, he passed a long distance in a straight line and came to a remote corner of Tiezhu Temple, crossing the wall.
The outer formation of Tiezhu Temple was forcibly broken through by Jiang Li. Before it could be repaired, Feng Yunjie easily entered the Taoist temple.
He had never thought of visiting him through a proper way, because at the moment Jiang Li was preparing for war, and Tiezhu Temple closed its doors to thank guests, and it was impossible to get in through a proper way, so he had to use a side door.
It's just that this kind of behavior may easily lead to enemies with Jiang Li.
Based on Feng Yunjie's experience in the martial arts world, he should be able to figure this out, so judging from his intention, he would rather turn against Jiang Li than come here to investigate.
The young man also understood what his master meant, and he concentrated secretly, ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.
However, before they could make any move, a little Taoist boy hurried over. When he saw the two of them, he came up to them and bowed his head in a dignified manner, saying: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, poor Taoist Qingfeng, should you?"
At the request of fellow Taoist Jiang, I would like to invite you two to Baopu Hall for a while."
With the pace of this little Taoist priest, I am afraid that before he heard the instructions and set off, the two of them were still in the boat.
At that time, they were not sure about entering the Iron Pillar Temple, and they were not even sure where they would climb over the wall. How could Jiang Li make a judgment and ask the little Taoist boy to greet them.
Feng Yunjie felt heavy in his heart.
Even before he saw Jiang Li, his heart was already tense.
After Qingfeng finished speaking, he led the way. Master Feng Yunjie and his apprentice looked at each other, and after looking away, Feng Yunjie was the first to follow.
The two of them walked along with the breeze, and it took almost half a quarter of an hour before they arrived at Baopu Hall.
This is a hall for entertaining individuals. Behind it is a bamboo forest. A gentle breeze blows in, bringing with it bursts of fresh air. A figure breaks into the sight of the two of them in a very abrupt way.
He was originally not in the perception of the two, or in other words, within the perception of the two. There seemed to be an empty space there, but when his eyes shifted, he discovered that there was a person standing in the empty space with his hands behind his back.
Jiang Li turned his back to the two of them, and in front of him was the shadow of a compass, slowly turning and evolving into hexagrams.
From Feng Yunjie's perspective, he could only see a corner of the compass and couldn't understand its meaning. However, when his eyes touched that corner, he felt as if he had been seen through.
It seems that there are no secrets in front of the other party.
"Nantiansi," Jiang Li said calmly, "but I don't know why Nantiansi came to look for Jiang?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he concluded that Feng Yunjie was here to find him.
A kind of nervousness and fear arose spontaneously in his heart. Even though Feng Yunjie was also at the sixth level, he couldn't help but feel afraid to face Jiang Li.
He forcibly suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, clasped his fists and said: "Nantian Division Feng Yunjie and his apprentice Xiao Gao have met you. Today I came to see you. It turns out that a non-staff member of our department died on Longyuan Lake. The cause of death is unknown. I have been ordered to investigate.
, I happened to have your Excellency nearby, so I came to ask about it."
Feng Yunjie was quite polite, not only because he was afraid in front of Jiang Li, but also because of the other person's background.
Although the Jiang family has a broken family, Jiang Li, who is now hooked up with the Gongsun family, is not someone who can be bullied, at least not by Feng Yunjie.
It's a pity that this man can't help himself in the court, and there are things he can't just do if he doesn't want to do them.
"Do you suspect that I did it?" Jiang Li asked calmly.
"Don't dare."
Feng Yunjie held his fists and lowered his head, "Just asking."
Having said that, if the other party knew that he went directly to Iron Pillar Temple and found him, he would know that Feng Yunjie suspected Jiang Li of doing it.
"Just asking...hehe."
Jiang Li turned around, stretched out his hand, and an illusory compass appeared in front of him.
"I know why such a hexagram appears. It should be here."
He pointed at the compass and said: "Then I will tell you, the cause of the death of the person you mentioned, the hexagram symbol is the upper stem and lower sunda, which is stained by the wind and wind. However, this symbol moves in four lines and becomes the sunda hexagram. But
It is estimated that it is a set of gold and wood. The death of that person should be a sword."
"But if it is a sword, it is not difficult to tell based on your experience. Therefore, the cause of the other party's death is not on the outside, but on the inside. It is difficult for ordinary people to detect, so it can be judged to be some kind of soul-killing method. Although Jiang has some knowledge of swords, he
If you are not good at this, it is impossible to do this. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
As the words are told, the compass evolves, which is exactly the hexagram image of Tianfengjiao.
The answer given by Jiang Li was indeed mysterious and difficult to verify, but given Jiang Li's status, giving such an answer already gave Nan Tiansi face.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Feng Yunjie lowered his head again, and sweat stains quietly appeared on his forehead.
Everything on his side seemed to be under the control of the young master of the Jiang family. Feng Yunjie was completely unable to take the initiative and could only respond passively.
He can only be.
"Then let's leave." Jiang Li waved his sleeves to see the guest off.
"yes."
Feng Yunjie led the others in a somewhat embarrassed manner and was about to leave.
Just when he turned around, he suddenly paused and asked: "There are outsiders disturbing the peace outside Tiezhu Temple. Do I need to send them away?"
Jiang Li is preparing for the war on the first day of September and should be resting. Visits from outsiders will only disturb his purity and affect his state.
However, Jiang Li wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, so naturally he was happy to be disturbed so that he could identify those with ulterior motives among them and follow the clues.
And it is impossible for these people to disturb his state of mind.
Theoretically, this should be the case, but when Feng Yunjie spoke, Jiang Li felt a sense of irritation in his heart. He wished he could expel all the disturbing people outside the audience, and even felt like three corpses leaping into anger.
He lowered his eyes slightly and his voice became cold, "It's none of your business, get out!"
"yes."
Feng Yunjie quickly left with his apprentice.
The two of them climbed over the wall just as they had come, and walked quickly until they reached the boat, where they stopped.
"Master's good intentions are met with such harsh words," Xiao Gao couldn't help but said angrily, "Who does he think he is?"
"He is a strong man who can crush you to death."
Feng Yunjie wiped his cold sweat and scolded: "Misfortune comes from your mouth, be careful with your words and deeds. We are here today. Let's go back first and look for information on martial arts skills that are proficient in swordsmanship."
"Master, do you believe what he says?" Xiao Gao asked in surprise.
"It's always the same direction."
Feng Yunjie said, getting lucky again and letting the boat sail away.
······
······
Inside Baopu Hall.
Jiang Li meditated and adjusted his breath, and his pure Yang Taoist heart gradually eliminated the distracting thoughts in his heart. When he opened his eyes, he had regained his clarity.
"It can actually arouse my anger silently. If it weren't for the Pure Yang Taoist Heart, I might not even be aware of this anger."
Pure Yang Dao Heart, Tao Heart Pure Yang, Jiang Li will never be disturbed by negative emotions, his mood is always flawless, so this distracting thought is as eye-catching as a mouse excrement, this kind of anger is also very sudden,
Jiang Li noticed it directly.
If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't feel any suddenness at all. The thought comes from your heart, and it will naturally be affected by this anger.
If Jiang Li fails to suppress this anger, he will forcibly expel those who are watching. If there is a conflict, he may even use force.
There are many people outside the temple who are descendants of aristocratic families. It is better to say that without any background or ability, they may not be able to come to the temple. They will be driven away by the guards of the fourth prince. If Jiang Li hurts them, if he beats them,
The enemy is fine, but if you offend someone from another position, you are provoking the enemy in vain.
"I didn't expect that my enemy would be so capable."
He pressed his hand on the shadow of the compass, and the hexagrams changed slightly, from the Xun hexagram back to the Tianfeng hexagram.
Tianfengjiu, Qian above Sunda, one yin and five yang, is the first hexagram of Qiangong. The Jiao hexagram uses yin to meet yang, and softness to take advantage of hardness, which means unexpected encounters.
Jiang Li did have a divination, but not for the cause of death of the man in black, but for the person behind the man in black.
It seems that this is where Tian Fengjiu's unexpected encounter happened.
Feng Yunjie and the man in black were probably in the same group. He came to Jiang Li not only because he suspected that Jiang Li had killed the man in black, but also because he wanted to further stumbling upon Jiang Li.
As for the changing hexagram, if we interpret it normally, we can indeed come up with the theory that metal and wood are a set of things. The handle of the sword is wood and the blade is gold, which can indeed fit this hexagram. However, Jiang Li was the one who took action. He shot the arrow first. Then draw a target, just use an applicable statement to put it in.
If you are unaware, you may really think that Jiang Li has foresight, but in fact, this is completely made up by Jiang Li.
"Master, do you know what kind of Taoist fruit can silently arouse their evil thoughts? You don't even need to use your spiritual consciousness." Jiang Li asked.
Spiritual magic can indeed cause evil thoughts in others, and can even weave illusions and control people's minds, but those kinds of magic can never be hidden from Jiang Li.
The method used by the other party is undoubtedly more sophisticated. There is no fluctuation in spiritual consciousness at all, and it naturally triggers thoughts. That is, Jiang Li has a Pure Yang Dao Heart, so he can detect and eliminate it at the first time.
This was already difficult to describe using magic, and Jiang Li even suspected that it was the magical power of Dao Fruit.
"Although there are not many of these Taoist fruits, you can still find them all over the world."
There was also a hint of coldness in Tianxuan's voice, "For example, in the Buddhist country, there is a kind of Tao Fruit that can be achieved, and that is the Son of Heaven Demon among the four demons. This kind of Tao Fruit will be achieved after Karma Tathagata is born. They are all captured by the Fire Mansion Buddha Prison, and the demons of the Son of Heaven are basically the people of the Fire Mansion Buddha Prison."
"There are very few such Taoist fruits in Jiuzhou. As far as I know, there are only the Nine-tailed Fox in Huqi Mountain and the Three Corpse Gods that have been sealed away by the Jiang family in Yun County."
"The Jiang family of Yun County?!" Jiang Li raised his brows and discovered a blind spot, "Yun County, the capital of God?"
The Jiang family in Shendu Yun County was exterminated more than three years ago, leaving only one orphan, Jiang Luo.
