On that day, the monks from Qintian Prison set up an altar, opened the altar and cast spells, trying to use divination to determine the whereabouts of the person who committed such a major crime.
Recite the spell, cast the talisman, activate the magical power,
Then sit cross-legged and become quiet,
In a trance, his soul seemed to be out of body,
Suddenly, he frowned, his face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.
He opened his eyes suddenly and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Taoist Master, how are you?" The person waiting not far away hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
The Taoist priest shook his head.
"I only saw clouds and mist. That person either carried a magic weapon that could hide the secrets of heaven, or he practiced some kind of skill that I couldn't detect."
"This is really going to be a bit troublesome."
"I have an idea." A man wearing a scarlet official uniform said.
"General, please speak."
"Judging from various signs, the person who committed the crime seems to be punishing evil and promoting good. Even so, we might as well set up a situation and let him show up on his own initiative."
"What game?"
"Songfengguan, continue to use evil methods to refine elixirs."
Several people nearby pondered for a moment after hearing this, and their eyes lit up.
"Wonderful!"
So several Taoist priests who were tortured and beaten to pieces were released and returned to Songfeng Temple.
Let them continue to make alchemy and pretend, there are still several Baiqisi people lurking in the dark.
Some news was also spread out intentionally,
Some villages and towns have lost their children, even girls, who have stolen them away.
The trap is laid, and the rest is waiting for the person to fall into the trap.
In the mountains, the cold wind howled.
The internal guards of Baiqisi hiding in the dark are like wolves ambushing their prey.
At this time, Wang Zhe, who they were waiting and searching for, was eating stone hot pot with Laifu in the mountains.
Firewood, stone pots, mushrooms picked from the mountains, wild vegetables, and some meat,
One person and one dog had a great time eating.
"Well, it tastes good, so fresh!"
Wang Zhe had no intention of going down the mountain at all, and naturally he didn't know the news against him that was spread by the mountain.
While waiting, Baiqisi's people found something else.
"Prefect Guo's son died outside Guobei County. His head was beheaded with a sword. The person who killed him was Chu Zhennan."
"Chu Zhennan, this name sounds familiar. Come to think of it, is it the Chu Zhennan who stole the treasure of Zhennan Palace?"
"Yes, it's him. You two also know that what he stole was not an ordinary thing! It was a painting left by the sword master, and it showed his sword intention.
Although Chu Zhennan was killed by Baiqisi, the painting was not found."
"There was a gap of several months. Is there any connection between the two cases?"
"Probably not." The man from Baiqisi tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden table.
What was on my mind was something else.
"Sword Master, in the past, he conquered the world with one sword. If you can take a look at the sword intention he left behind, you will definitely benefit a lot!"
Soon, seven days passed,
In Songyun Temple, the internal guards of Baiqisi were still guarding in secret.
In the alchemy cave,
Several Taoist priests gathered around, pretending to make elixirs, but their minds couldn't settle down at all.
They were very worried. They had witnessed that person's methods that day with their own eyes. The leader with the highest level of cultivation was beaten out by him with one palm, and it was extremely easy.
If he knew the news, would he really think that these people are still here using evil methods to make elixirs, and rush over directly, would they still be alive?
The youngest Taoist priest stared at the Taoist scriptures on the wall, fascinated.
"Senior brother, come and read this Taoist scripture." He said softly to the senior brother beside him.
"I have memorized this scripture a long time ago. It is not as mysterious as that person said." The Taoist priest on the side said.
"Yes, but I think it's quite mysterious." The young Taoist priest whispered. "There are just some parts that I don't quite understand."
It was okay to be in the cave anyway, so he meditated on the Taoist scriptures in the cave.
At the foot of the mountain, the internal guards of Baiqisi who went to Lieyang Sect to investigate also came back, bringing back news that surprised them.
About two and a half years ago, a man from the Lieyang Sect secretly learned the "Blazing Sun Palm". After being discovered, he injured his fellow sect members and fled down the mountain. The man's name was Gao Luan.
"Gao Luan? I've never heard of it. Besides, what kind of mind would he have to do such a thing? It's not him!"
"Maybe it doesn't matter if your character has changed?"
"The nature of the mind is so easy to change, and as far as I know, practicing Blazing Sun Palm will cause you to be invaded by the scorching power of the palm. If your mind is not firm enough, you can easily go crazy and become a murderer.
He would not do such a thankless thing."
"There hasn't been much movement at Songyunguan yet. Could it be that this person has left Kuaiji Mansion? After all, he has done such a big thing."
"If we really have left, that would be very troublesome. How can we explain to His Majesty!"
"Taoist Priest, I heard that there is a very powerful magic weapon in the Qintian Prison, called the Tianjian Mirror. It can be used to see the world and know the world's affairs?" asked the Baiqi Silang.
"Yes, there is indeed such a treasure in Qintian Prison, but only Master Jianzheng can use it." The Taoist priest from Qintian Prison said.
"Isn't such a major case worthy of Mr. Jian Zheng's action?"
"Before I left the capital, Mr. Jianzheng just used the Tianjian Mirror to deduce the location of Xuanwu. It has only been a few days. Even if your cultivation is as high as Mr. Jianzheng, you still need to rest."
The general of Baiqisi frowned after hearing this.
Is it possible to keep waiting like this? This is not an option.
"There's a way!" His eyes lit up and he thought of another idea.
"Master Li, do you have any good ideas?"
"The solution lies in the heavenly prison." The general of Baiqisi said.
"Tianlao?" The two people on the side were stunned after hearing this.
"Monk."
"Punan!"
Upon hearing this name, the faces of those present could not help but change.
"It is said that this person has profound Buddhist cultivation and is gifted with a wise eye. He can see things in the past and the next life?"
"I heard that a lot of people were killed or injured trying to catch him, but it took two very powerful magic weapons to capture him.
And even if his cultivation level is extremely high, he can calculate what is happening here in the heavenly prison?"
"I'll see you soon. I won't bother you two adults with the matters here for the time being. I'll go back to the capital first," General Baiqi Silang said.
"Okay, Mr. Li, be careful all the way."
In the mountains, in caves,
Wang Zhe is painting, with ink dripping on the paper. There are mountains, water, trees, rocks, and a lake in the middle.
It's the place where he practices his sword every day. This painting is lifelike, which is the skill of a master of painting.
"Laifu, what do you think of this?" He showed it to the local dog beside him.
Laifu stared at the words and nodded.
"You think it's okay, can you sell it for a hundred taels of silver?" Wang Zhe asked with a smile.
He looked at the lake on the screen, which was not as big as his face.
