After Zhao Ran explained the matter of Meihua Yishu, everyone was very curious. In addition to being curious, Hua Tengming was also very unhappy and complained: "Zhiran, when I came to investigate the case that day, what did you say about these words?"
Don’t tell me?”
Zhao Ran quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Uncle Hua. I never thought that this was the key to solving the case, and I didn't expect that the murderer might have come to kill me. This is indeed my fault. I apologize to you."
Master Hua, I can’t apologize."
Yuntengmo changed his mind and said: "The key to this case is still the gold box. There is no direction for the investigation. Even if Zhiran said it at the time, it would be of no use. Okay, junior brother, let's understand Zhiran, after all, it's him
It’s normal not to talk about my own self-defense Taoist skills. I remember that Patriarch Longyang didn’t allow others to say that they were his disciples, and he didn’t want to easily teach human Taoist techniques. If you talk about it, please be patient with me."
Zhao Ran said: "Thank you, Uncle Yun, for your understanding."
Hua Tengming's face softened, he nodded, and began to think carefully: "The man in gray died at the foot of Yangshan Mountain? I remember that in the joint wanted list of Jing Zhiwu, it was said that he liked to wear gray clothes. From this point of view, this man was Jing Zhiwu.
Wu's may be one level closer, but what does Yangshan mean?"
Zhao Ran immediately said that he had mobilized the Baima Yuan to investigate all party members, and also asked some people from the three ministries. There was no peak called "Yangshan" in the entire Hongyuan, but there were two in Xiaohe County and Yongzhen County.
There is also a place.
The place name Yangshan is too common. It doesn’t mean much if it’s not Yangshan in Hongyuan. In addition to the three Yangshan mountains in Xiaohe and Yongzhen, there are also those in Longan Prefecture and Dufu. There must be more in other places. Search
The value was not great. So everyone began to consider the meaning of "mountain sun" again, but this meaning was even more difficult to check. All mountains have mountain sun, how to check it?
After a while, Elder Qiu said again: "Zhiran said he tripped. What happened?"
This was really asking the question. Zhao Ran told him about stepping on a stone. As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Qiu and Yun Tengmo spoke up at the same time.
Yuntengmo asked: "Where did you trip?"
Elder Qiu asked: "Where is the stone? Find it quickly!"
So, Zhao Ran tried hard to recall the direction he had walked at that time, and roughly determined a range of a hundred steps forward and backward and thirty steps left and right. Together, everyone began to search carefully according to his description of the stone.
After a while, Elder Zhuo discovered the stone. After handing the stone to Elder Qiu, Elder Qiu slapped a high-level Taoist Talisman on it. Ripples appeared on the stone. Because time had passed, the fluctuations were very small.
, but in the eyes of professionals such as Elder Qiu and Elder Zhuo, clues have actually emerged.
This is not a stone, but a hard object made by someone using magic to squeeze some broken objects. But it is not clear what it is, and no one dares to pinch it at will. If it is damaged, the evidence will be destroyed.
Already.
Li Junyang carefully placed the stone in his palm, turned it around and looked at it, and asked: "Xuanji, Yunfeng, do you see what this is?"
Elder Qiu said: "There is a faint luster under the sun, like gold and stone, but the whole thing is gray, and it seems to be the remains of burned bones and flesh."
Elder Zhuo said: "Senior Brother Qiu has a very sharp vision, I admire him! It should be these things, but it is difficult to classify them specifically. I suddenly thought of a question, if this thing was invented by Jing Zhiwu - let's tentatively think
The murderer is Jing Zhiwu, so why did he refine such a thing? And why did this thing appear so coincidentally at Zhiran's feet?"
As soon as Elder Zhuo raised this question, everyone present fell silent, because the cause of the murder was this stone. If Zhao Ran had not stepped on this "stone", he might have gone back to Maharaja Mountain directly, and it was impossible to stop halfway.
Go around partisan Archie's felt bag.
But if this is really what Jing Zhiwu did deliberately, then why did Jing Zhiwu do it? This involves extremely accurate prediction ability. He has been able to predict things so accurately after several times in the world. I am afraid that even Patriarch Tieguan
It can't be done either.
Two words come to everyone's mind - God's will! But if it is really a coincidence of God's will, then...
Li Junyang couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky. For a monk like him who has entered the realm of refining the void and is only one step away from being able to achieve harmony, the word "God's Will" is even more admirable and even scary.
At this point, part of the outline of the entire case has emerged. The dead murderer is likely to be Jing Zhiwu, but it is not 100% certain. Why Jing Zhiwu came to assassinate Zhao Ran is speculated to be related to the Jing Zhimo case, but Zhao Ran said that he was wronged
, I don’t know any more about the underlying reasons for Jing Zhimo’s case than others, so why did Jing Zhiwu come to kill me? What’s the use?
The next thing that needs to be continued is what is this gray stone, and is there any new clues hidden in it? But this job is very difficult, and it must be taken back to Dongji Pavilion for inspection, and even combined with Jifu Pavilion,
The monks from Baojing Pavilion will study and judge together, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult.
The second thing that needs to be further searched is about the "Yangshan" divined in Zhao Ran's Plum Blossom Yishu. Although it is extremely difficult and the cost-effectiveness of the search is very low, it is still a clue after all. Where is Yangshan?
? Or the sunny side of a certain mountain? This won’t happen overnight.
For Dongji Pavilion, the Jing Zhimo case has made great progress. This is something that makes everyone in Dongji Pavilion happy. However, as new clues are found, more questions and resistances arise.
Following this, the following tasks remain arduous.
The task force rushed back to Lushan to analyze the composition of the stone. Zhao Ran returned to Baima Courtyard and asked Baozhong to be passed to his study, saying: "Have the funeral affairs of the old uncle and the old aunt been taken care of?"
Baozhong said: "Yes, a grave has been set up. He has no direct descendants. From now on, Xi Zhong and I will sweep the grave for him during the New Year."
"That's good. Uncle Archie is a good man. I often go to his place to have a chat, and I don't want to suffer such a murderous attack. Have you found any clues here?"
Baozhong said in frustration: "Not so far. He almost never offended anyone during his lifetime, and he was very kind to others, let alone offended any monks."
Zhao Ran nodded: "I mean, I can't die in such a mysterious way. Do you think it's related to the third party?"
Baozhong looked at Zhao Ran's face and said hesitantly: "I also wanted to check this line, but with my identity... I can't check many things."
Zhao Ran said: "I have seen your performance this year. To be honest, you have changed very quickly and very well. Your devotion to Tao Zun is also unparalleled by other party members. I appreciate it very much."
Baozhong said: "The villain is no longer a party member, but a person who pursues the Tao. I hope the abbot will fulfill my desire to follow the Tao!"
Zhao Ran nodded and asked, "Would you like to become a layman in Baima Courtyard?"
Baozhong was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly: "Yes!"
"Shall I accept the Taoism for the rest of my life?"
"yes!"
Zhao Ran took a document from the table and threw it to Baozhong: "This is for you, please sign it."
Baozhong took it and looked at it, took two deep breaths, and solemnly signed his name. From that moment on, he became a fireworker layman in the Fangtang of Baima Yuan.
