There is an impromptu meeting of the investigation team today.
All seven members of the investigation team were present, and Lei Xiaohuan presided over the discussion. Because this joint investigation was vigorously promoted by Donghua Zhenren, Lei Xiaohuan, who represented Donghua Zhenren and Ziweitang, became the leader of the investigation team.
, sitting on the main seat.
Since it involves the secret association "Tianting", Tiangangtang, which is responsible for suppressing and cracking down on secret associations, is second only to Ziweitang, so Zhang Yuelu, who represents Tiangangtang, sits to the left of Lei Xiaohuan.
In essence, this case was a major corruption case that occurred within the Taoist sect. There was no way to bypass Beichen Hall internally, so Li Ming, who represented Beichen Hall, sat on the right side of Lei Xiaohuan.
In this way, it is exactly the pattern of Shangsantang.
Fengxiantang and Duzhitang are nominally assisting in the investigation. Each has its own duties and is only responsible for one aspect. This time, they do not have the power to dispatch spiritual officials, so they are under the Shangsantang. Lu Yushu, who represents Fengxiantang, sits
Next to Zhang Yuelu, Li Mingzhi, who represented the Duzhi Hall, sat next to Li Mingcheng.
Because this major case involves Jiangling Prefecture and Jinling Prefecture, which correspond to Jiangnan Provincial Prefecture and Huzhou Provincial Prefecture respectively, these two families are somewhat embarrassed. They have the right to participate in the investigation, but they are also suspected of dereliction of duty.
Because Huzhou Daofu is affiliated to Quanzhen Taoism and is vertically managed by Quanzhen Taoist Wanshou Chongyang Palace, while Jiangnan Daofu is under the direct jurisdiction of Yujing, so Jiangnan Daofu is directly involved, while Huzhou Daofu stays out of the matter and is represented by Wanshou Chongyang Palace.
.Therefore, Bai Yingqiong, the chief deputy hall master representing Jiangnan Taoist Prefecture, and Pei Xiaolou, the assistant minister representing the Quanzhen Taoist Wanshou Chongyang Palace, sat at the end.
Bai Yingqiong is next to Lu Yushu, and Pei Xiaolou is next to Li Mingzhi.
Judging from the seating arrangements, it is true that you are surrounded by me, and I am surrounded by you, just like a dog's teeth intertwined.
In addition, following the Jinque discussion, there are also auditorium seats. It is said to be an auditor for convenience. If there are any trivial matters that need to be dispatched, the seven deputy hall masters cannot be asked to do it themselves. At this time, the people who are observing
The usefulness is highlighted.
At this time, there were many people sitting in the auditorium, but the most eye-catching person was the person in charge of recording the proceedings. This person who took the notes was not from Tiangang Hall or Beichen Hall, but from Ziwei Hall.
Li Mingcheng had some impression that the fifth-grade Taoist priest following Zhang Yuelu was named Qi Xuansu and belonged directly to Lei Xiaohuan.
This little detail makes people feel that it is Ziweitang who directly organized this investigation. To put it bluntly, all investigations are ultimately responsible to only one person, and that person is Donghua Zhenren. Of course, the so-called various means are not to Jin
Que exerted pressure mainly on Donghua Zhenren, who took the lead in this matter.
"Let's start the discussion." Lei Xiaohuan glanced at everyone.
The other six people had no objections, so the discussion officially began.
Lei Xiaohuan took out a confession and said: "Some people have read this confession, and some people have not read it yet. Regardless of whether they have read it or not, read it again and circulate it."
After that, Lei Xiaohuan handed the confession in her hand to Zhang Yuelu. This was the copy that Zhang Yuelu had examined, so she just flipped through it symbolically, and then handed it to Lu Yushu.
It was the first time for Lu Yushu to see this confession, so he read it very seriously. Next came Bai Yingqiong, Pei Xiaolou, Li Mingzhi, and Li Mingcheng. They just went around in a circle. Finally, Li Mingcheng handed it back to Lei Xiaolou.
ring in hand.
"I've read it all, what do you think?" Lei Xiaohuan took the confession and looked around at everyone again.
Speaking of everyone, in fact, Lei Xiaohuan's eyes directly passed Zhang Yuelu and Pei Xiaolou, and fell on Bai Yingqiong, Lu Yushu, Li Mingzhi, and Li Mingcheng. However, the attitude of the latter three had already been decided. To say something unpleasant,
A dog cannot spit out ivory, so Lei Xiaohuan's eyes were mainly focused on Bai Yingqiong.
Bai Yingqiong was naturally aware of it, not to mention she was the person involved, so she had to be the first to speak: "My little girl has been missing for a long time, but I didn't expect that she was abducted by the demon from 'Tian Ting'. To be honest, I have been worried about my little girl these past few days."
Worrying and worrying is actually not caring about others, and it is really dereliction of duty."
Zhang Yuelu said: "This is human nature. It's just that such a big thing happened, and the senior sister didn't communicate with us. She just kept her head down and looked for it alone. It would be too unreasonable."
Bai Yingqiong said: "Investigating the case is the most important thing. I don't care about others because of my daughter's affairs. I am already neglecting my official duties for personal reasons. How can I trouble others?"
"That's wrong." Zhang Yuelu looked at Bai Yingqiong and said, "The people from the 'Tianting' kidnapped Senior Sister Bai's daughter, their intention is very obvious, it is nothing more than blackmailing Senior Sister Bai to hinder the investigation. This is not Senior Sister Bai's private matter.
You can’t even say it’s none of our business.”
Bai Yingqiong looked a little unnatural. After all, Zhang Yuelu came to see her shortly after Bai Xiaojin disappeared, but she didn't mention anything. Instead, she declined Zhang Yuelu's request about Ye Xiu. Now Ye Xiu is arrested, and according to Ye Xiu's confession
It is estimated that when she declined Zhang Yuelu, Bai Xiaojin happened to be in Ye Xiu's hands.
This is really a very ironic black joke.
At the same time, everyone, including Lei Xiaohuan, looked at Bai Yingqiong.
Bai Yingqiong had to explain: "Concern leads to chaos. I am confused."
Zhang Yuelu did not look at Bai Yingqiong at this time, but habitually looked sideways at Qi Xuansu who was sitting in the auditorium.
Qi Xuansu smiled at Zhang Yuelu and blinked again.
In public, Zhang Yuelu had to worry about his own image, so he did not flirt with Qi Xuansu. He looked away calmly, no longer looking at him or Bai Yingqiong, but looked down at a case file he had brought.
But just as Zhang Yuelu looked away, Lei Xiaohuan's eyes moved over: "Tianyuan, you discovered Bai Zhenren's daughter. Please tell me the situation again."
Qi Xuansu immediately stood up and repeated what he had said before, how he found out something was wrong, how he tracked the carriage, how he killed the powerful ghost king, and how he met Feng Bo on the way back, hiding the part about killing Feng Bo in the end.
, it is only said that Uncle Feng met his enemy, and the two fought, and he escaped by chance. As for who this opponent was, he did not know. It was too dark at that time, and the two heavenly beings were fighting fiercely in the sky. He looked at
He was running for his life, but he really didn't see clearly who was confronting Uncle Feng.
This also indirectly explains why Ye Xiu was suddenly arrested.
After everyone listened, their views on Qi Xuansu changed somewhat.
If what this person said is true, then he is the first to achieve success. Whether it is killing the powerful ghost king or escaping from Feng Bo, it shows that this person should not be underestimated. He is young and has great potential.
Lei Xiaohuan raised his hand to signal Qi Xuansu to sit down.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu added: "According to what Chief Qi said, I sent people to the large tomb outside the city and indeed found some traces."
Pei Xiaolou asked: "What are these traces?"
Zhang Yuelu replied: "Some blood stains, some broken flesh and bone fragments, some remains of clothing, and an eyeball."
Although Qi Xuansu did some processing, Feng Bo was punched by Master Wan and exploded. Some "parts" inevitably flew everywhere, but they were not corroded by the corpse energy. In addition, Qi Xuansu's focus was mainly on
It is reasonable to omit some things when it comes to Xumi objects.
Pei Xiaolou asked again: "Can you confirm your identity?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "We can only be sure that this blood comes from a heavenly being, probably Uncle Feng."
The Taoist sect divides people into four categories, which have nothing to do with their class origins, but only relate to their state of cultivation. From top to bottom, they are immortals, heavenly beings, innate people, and acquired people.
The reason for such distinction is not that Taoism insists on forcibly dividing classes into classes, but because their life essences are completely different.
For example, immortals can live forever, soar through the sky, and call the wind and rain, but ordinary people absolutely cannot do this. This has nothing to do with identity. Although immortals still have the appearance of humans, they are completely different inside. What inner elixir?
The body spirit and the yin spirit are acquired the day after tomorrow, not innate. To put it harshly, the difference between immortals and ordinary people is even greater than the difference between humans and machine people.
The same is true for the other three types of people.
People born in the future do not understand the Dao at first. As they grow older, their Qi and blood will become increasingly weak, their spirits will become weaker and weaker, their shape will be like a gaunt tree, and their color will be as gray as death. They will eventually die.
A congenital person who does not understand the superior way will acquire a method in the way and a technique in the method. He will have faith and determination and will not change for the rest of his life. His spirit will become clearer and his body will become stronger, and the epidemics in the human world will not be able to harm him.
A celestial being, half immortal and half human. He or she may enter the clouds and fly without wings. He or she may ride on a dragon on the clouds and ascend to the heavenly steps. He or she may transform into a bird or beast and float in the blue clouds. He or she may sneak into the rivers and seas and soar over famous mountains. Or he may subdue his vitality.
They may grow like mushrooms, or they may go in and out of the human world without being recognized by others, or they may hide their bodies from others. They have strange bones on their faces, strange hairs on their bodies, they like to be secluded, and they do not interact with the world.
The so-called face with strange bones and strange hair on the body refers to a warrior who is a celestial being. After a warrior becomes a celestial being, he has a true form. After revealing his true form, he cannot even maintain the most basic human form. Others
Qi refiners, alchemists, etc. also have various changes, but they are not shown externally.
According to legend, eating the flesh and blood of Buddhist great men can prolong life. In fact, the flesh and blood of heavenly beings does have similar benefits and can even improve one's cultivation. However, most heavenly beings have high status during their lifetime, and after death, there will be dedicated people to take care of the funeral affairs, such as Taoist sects.
The Department of Requiem will not let the shackles desecrate the remains.
Because of this, Tiangang Hall can easily identify these blood stains, and the flesh and blood comes from a heavenly being. However, there is no blood sample of Feng Bo inside the Dao Sect, so it is impossible to determine whether this heavenly being is Feng Bo.
Zhang Yuelu continued: "Fortunately, there is still another eye. Through the traceability spell, I can roughly restore the last sight of this eye."
"What is it?" This time it was Lei Xiaohuan who asked in person.
Zhang Yuelu said: "Because the eyeball is not intact, the restored scene is very blurry, making it difficult to distinguish the direction and distance, and there are many misaligned double images. After roughly identifying it, it seems to be a fist."
Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief.
A fist filled the field of vision. With blur and no reference, it was difficult to tell whether the fist was too big or too close.
