The two martial judges looked at each other, then looked towards the inner city behind Cheng Yu. They felt about the distance and found that this place was exactly in the center between the Martial Temple and Wangyue Tower.
When Cheng Yuer heard the conversation between the two martial judges just now, and combined with the fact that the two of them shared the power of the yellow talisman, he felt that there was something fishy about it, so he chose to stop them here. p>
First, it is far away from the place where the incident occurred and is safe enough.
Secondly, this place is far away from the Martial Arts Temple, so some things I say are not restrictive.
When the two military judges saw Cheng Yu asking about the dead soul being held next to them, they did not stop them and spoke directly:
"Sir, just ask directly."
Cheng Yu nodded and asked the dead soul:
"Who is your surname? What do you do for a living?"
"I am Xue Da, I make a living by fishing."
Xue Da, who was fishing, turned out not to have escaped, but to have died...
"Why... I left."
Cheng Yu hesitated when he asked, just because he remembered the father and son who were killed during the winter hunting in Qingluo Village last winter, but at this moment, the two martial judges from Wujun Palace were present, so it would not cause a soul change.
Sure enough, after the dead soul paused for a moment, he spoke:
"I was just bitten by an eel and died of poisoning."
Hmm?
Cheng Yu frowned slightly and glanced at the two military judges opposite him, seeing that they were also a little confused.
Could it be that he was bitten to death by the moon-worshiping eel that turned into a spirit?
"But was he injured by a golden eel with two bulges on its head?"
After Cheng Yu asked, the two martial judges also turned to look at the dead soul.
After being stunned for a while, the dead soul gently shook his head and said:
"When I was bitten, I could only see it was an eel for a moment, but I lost consciousness before I could see it clearly."
Toxic so quickly...
After the moon-worshiping eel bit two people in Wangyue Tower, the injured did not become incapacitated quickly. Even the young cook apprentice even sucked on the wound. After biting and sucking, he still managed to survive.
It took a while before he fainted.
"Where were you bitten?"
Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and then continued to ask.
"In the mud pond behind my house..."
After speaking, the dead soul turned around and pointed in the direction of the ruined Lake Temple, but when he looked back, his figure froze, and in his dull eyes looking into the distance behind him, a little light suddenly flickered.
Cheng Yu looked in the direction where the dead soul was looking. It was dark and quiet.
When the martial judge saw something strange happened to the dead soul, he hurriedly shook the soul lock in his hand, and the light in Xue Da's dead soul's eyes suddenly disappeared, returning to a dull and lifeless state.
"Where did the eel you sent to Wangyue Tower come from today?"
"I caught it myself."
"You caught them all yourself? Was there anything unusual when you caught them?"
The dead soul nodded first, then shook his head.
There was nothing unusual when catching...
Is the moon-worshiping eel so easy to catch?
"What just happened on the lake?"
Seeing that he couldn't find out what it was, Cheng Yu turned to ask about what happened just now.
Unexpectedly, the dead soul remained dazed for a while, then shook his head and said:
"I don't remember what else happened."
Cheng Yu frowned again when he heard this, thinking that after death, the dead souls all have questions and answers. This dead soul can't remember what happened just now. Either the magic circle erased the soul's memory, or its memory is contained in the power of the yellow talisman.
, has been sucked away by the two martial judges on the opposite side.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu subconsciously glanced at the two military judges opposite him and asked:
"You two are evil. Just now, Cheng Moubucai saw the magic circle that trapped the dead soul disappear by the lake. There was a talisman that burned into green smoke and condensed. It was sucked up by the two of them, and the two of them also talked about the yellow talisman.
I wonder what’s so mysterious about the power of wish fulfillment? Could it be that the memory of the dead soul in the magic circle was also sucked away?”
"This..."
The two martial judges suddenly felt guilty and hesitated. One of them even glanced in the direction of the martial arts temple behind Cheng Yu.
When Cheng Yu saw this, he subconsciously looked back and said as if he understood:
"Oh, Cheng knows it. Let's go to Wujun Palace and ask Mr. Wujun."
When the two military judges heard this, they hurriedly stopped Cheng Yu and said with a smile:
"Mr. Cheng is joking, why should I ask Lord Wu about such a trivial matter? My brothers can talk to him about it."
"That's right, why bother bothering Mr. Wu with trivial matters."
The two martial judges hurriedly stepped forward, separated Cheng Yu's left and right, and sang in harmony, leaving only the dead soul of Xue Da standing there dumbly and speechless.
"Speaking of the yellow talisman's wish power just now, there is no memory of the dead soul in it, it is just the wish power. Hehe, Mr. Cheng also knows that under Jiuzhou, all deceased people must report to the underworld, but there are occasional people in the Yang world.
Cultivators specialize in souls, souls, souls, and the like. It is the most troublesome for me in Wujun Palace to encounter such people. Of course, there are no such evil spirits in our Qianyuan Prefecture. I only met them when I was on duty in the capital a few years ago.
I have been to Jinwu Guard to handle cases and summoned the souls of the dead.
Speaking of the Jinwu Guards, they are divided into the Inner Five Guards and the Outer Guards. Those who are good at using talismans to summon dead souls to investigate cases are the Inner Five Guards. But compared with other evil warriors, they are the most disciplined.
Whenever our judges are delayed in carrying out their errands due to soul restraint, they will bring a talisman containing the power of wishes as a solace. To put it bluntly, it is convenient for others and for their own convenience."
"I see, then how does the power of Jin Wuwei's talisman compare with the power of incense in the Martial Temple?"
Seeing Cheng Yu's question, the two military judges smacked their lips, as if after thinking about it for a while, one of them said:
"Not to mention, this is the first time that we brothers have tasted the power of this yellow talisman. It is actually very different from the power of folk incense. It seems to be deeper and more pure, but it is also a little overbearing."
"Does Jinwuwei have a temple in the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Judge Wu waved his hand and said:
"Sir, I don't know. The Jinwu Guards are the bodyguards of the royal family. How can they be called temples?"
"If there is no temple, then where does the power of this talisman come from?"
"This..."
The two martial judges were also asked, looked at each other and said with a smile:
"It must be that the wish power refined from other temples is injected into the talismans. As far as I know, in addition to being good at talismans, the five inner guards of Jinwu Guard also specialize in alchemy, weapon refining, magic formations, etc."
Cheng Yu nodded lightly when he heard this. The Jinwu Guard's path was somewhat similar to that of a Taoist priest. You should be more careful when walking in the capital in the future.
"Hey, sir, you still have questions. I have to go back and complete the case later. It will take too long to explain."
Cheng Yu heard the words and stopped asking questions. He bowed his hands in thanks and then made a gesture of invitation. The two martial judges clasped their fists in return and led the dead souls to float towards the inner city.
Less than ten feet away, one of them stood up again, turned around and Cheng Yu said respectfully:
"Sir, I'd like to ask you. Mr. Wu Jun didn't know about this yellow talisman's wish when he was on duty in the capital before. Therefore, for tonight's matter, please understand the hardships of our brothers who are traveling outside... Hehe, ten million
Just don’t mention it in front of Lord Wu, please, please.”
Cheng Yu laughed, nodded, and then the two parties said goodbye.
After seeing the two martial judges leading the dead souls into the inner city wall, Cheng Yu turned around and looked at Xue Da's residence. Compared with the bustling lights of the outer city, the place where Xue Da lived was quite lonely.
After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Yu returned his soul to his place, spread his wings and flew towards the nameless hill by the lake, first to see how the cat demon was doing.
As for the moon-worshiping eel, the Jinwu Guards must have known the place where it committed the crime. If it loses sight of the cat demon, they will go back to pursue the eel demon.
……
As soon as he flew over the bamboo sea halfway up the hill, Cheng Yu saw a slim figure in green clothes standing on a boulder high up.
"Brother Cheng invites you."
Seeing Cheng Yu return, Jia Fei, who was standing on the top of the mountain, smiled and saluted.
"It seems that the two Jinwu guards are not difficult to deal with."
Cheng Yu smiled.
When Jia Fei heard this, he curled his lips, ignored the sneer from Hu Can'er in the acquaintance, and said softly:
"It's a trivial matter. I just cast two Wood Escape Techniques in the opposite direction, and they lost sight of me. Then I made a large circle around the outer city to make sure I got rid of them before returning here."
"That's fine, I've just been discouraged from drinking, so you can put out the wine and food. While the full moon is in the sky and it's still early in the long night, you and I can watch the moon and have wine."
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Jia Fei took out the food and wine that had been put away from the brocade bag and placed them on the boulder.
"Ouch!"
I can hear the rustling of the bamboo sea under my feet, and the rugged moon shadow on the lake below the mountain floats uncertainly, complementing the stillness and movement of the full moon in the sky.
The mountains and waters beside Qianyuan Lake are beautiful, and the lights of Qianjiangfu City are dim. No wonder His Highness said: Jiuzhou produces ten dou of grain, and Qianyuan Prefecture has nine dou of it. This place is rich and beautiful, and it is a paradise on earth.
After drinking cups of Wangyuelou's old wine, Jia Fei was already tipsy, and Cheng Yu was also quite happy. The sword on his wrist also buzzed and trembled from time to time.
Jia Fei smiled brightly when he saw this and said:
"When I returned to the mountain in the afternoon, I saw Brother Cheng dancing his sword on the top of the mountain. The sword skills were quite mysterious, but... what can you say?"
Cheng Yu laughed when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his random "sword skills" that he wanted to do as he pleased would be matched by the words "mysterious" in the eyes of this cat demon.
He raised his head and drank another glass of wine. He stood up and casually flicked his wrist. The Bujing sword tied to it drew a bright silver circle in the air, and the handle of the sword was firmly held in his hand.
Looking at the endless sea of bamboo below, then looking at the vast lake in the distance, and then looking up at the full moon in the sky, after the wine enters the ileum, this scene can't help but make people excited.
"Stab it!"
A sharp and piercing sound came. In Jia Fei's eyes, the white shirt on the boulder danced under the watery moonlight, and a bright silver light on his hand kept swiping, slashing, lifting, and stabbing on the boulder, driving a string of A string of electric lights and flints are swaying wantonly on the top of the silent mountain.
Jia Fei watched in a daze on the sidelines. It wasn't until the sharp sword energy cut a slit in her green shirt on her shoulder that she finally realized it and hurriedly dodged and jumped back.
"Qiang!"
The last long sound of metal collision resounded through the top of the mountain. Cheng Yu swung his sword and put down the last stroke, then waved his hand to summon a ball of amber wine, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and then raised his hand again to prevent the sword from shining in front of his eyes. I saw that the sword was still as clean as water, with no scratches at all.
The sword was not only buzzing and trembling, but also seemed to be excited. The small leather rope tied to Cheng Yu's wrist was fluttering wildly, making a "pop" sound when it hit his wrist.
Jia Fei waited until the sword energy completely dissipated in the night sky before he came closer. Looking through the bright moonlight, he saw that the boulder on the top of the mountain was already covered with iron-painted silver hooks. He then reached out and touched the horizontal, vertical, sloping, and ravines on the boulder. Each stroke penetrates more than three inches into the stone wall.
"Hiss!"
Jia Fei let out a low cry, never thinking that although the sword energy on the surface had dissipated, there were still sword energy emanating from the ravine, which actually cut her finger.
The cat demon jumped back a foot, and then read all the words on the stone carvings one by one.
"A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raising a glass to invite the bright moon, facing each other to form three people... I sing to the moon and wander, and my dancing shadows are scattered...
We will travel together forever, and we will meet again in Yunhan."
"This..."
Jia Fei stared blankly at the stone carvings and stayed in place. Hu Can'er, who had more knowledge than her, woke up one step ahead and said:
"This is both a moon and a shadow. It is clearly an immortal guiding you."
"It's the moon again, it's the shadow again..."
Jia Fei repeated Hu Meizi's words, murmured softly, and then exclaimed as if he had realized something, his almond-shaped eyes widened:
"Could this be the Moon Shadow Sword Technique?"
