The whole process went so smoothly, from arresting people to bringing them to court and interrogating them in one go. The total time taken together was not enough for an old man from the village, Liu Han.
Several disciples around Master Yan were all wearing Sanqing Palace. One of them had clearly never seen him before, but they looked at him many times.
There's a ghost!
Wang Fu thought quickly in his heart, and he definitely couldn't agree to the first one.
The practice was against time, and after three years of delay, the day lilies were already cold.
Listen to the second option…
"Article 2, you are allowed to perform meritorious service for your crime. Come and choose a task!"
Wang Fu blurted out, "If the task is completed, it will be written off."
Professor Yan nodded indifferently, "You have returned from completing your mission alive, so you won't be held responsible for the past, but if you do it again in the future, you will be severely punished."
"Then I choose the second option,"
Wang Fu didn't ask about any tasks, because the Life Fire candle burned steadily, so he chose the one that was most conscientious.
"There are five tasks here. Come and choose one."
Professor Yan produced five bamboo slips, on which were densely written in small regular script, describing the specific content.
Wang Fu noticed that the Sanqing Palace disciple who was peeking at him showed pity and sympathy in his eyes when he heard that he chose the second option. The other disciples did the same.
Aren’t the tasks inside simple?
Wang Fu took the five bamboo slips with doubts, and the voice of Master Yan rang in his ears, "Since it is a crime and meritorious service, it is not an ordinary task. Listen carefully, in these five tasks, there are official Taoist disciples who died in the battle.
above."
Wang Fu's heart skipped a beat when he heard again, "There are some who have entered the Nine-Bend Realm among them."
Good guy, you just treat me like a death squad.
"Wang Fu, it's not too late to give up now."
Professor Yan's tone slowed down, "If you can teach disciples of the same generation, it is obvious that you have learned well, but you don't know that if you don't have enough cultivation, you will teach without permission, which is very likely to mislead others. The Taoist temple is not deliberately trying to embarrass you."
Wang Fu nodded and said decisively.
"Supervision, three years is too long. I only seize the day. That's Article 2, right?"
When Professor Yan heard the words "seize the day and night," his heart moved, and he waved his hands to the disciples on both sides to retreat, "Let him be quiet and slowly choose."
"Strange diseases are rampant in Shuangniu Village. Sarcomas grow all over the villagers' bodies, resembling black lotuses. The sick people cannot see the light of day and feel miserable day and night. After death, the soul essence disappears out of thin air. It is suspected that a vicious ghost is entrenched, but its whereabouts have not yet been found."
The first bamboo slip brought a surprise to Wang Fu. If it were so exciting, it would be a vicious ghost doing evil.
The four types of ghosts, weird and vicious, are classified from high to low, and the degree of ferocity and sinisterness is also different.
Disciples of Yangguandao can deal with evil ghosts if they fight to the death, but when it comes to evil ghosts, they must have the Jiuqu cultivation level to be able to deal with them.
Wang Fu thought, no wonder, even the formal disciples of Ruqu died in the battle.
If I take this mission...
Wang Fu's heart moved, and his life fire shook desperately, directly reminding him, "Don't go, you will die."
Okay, let's look at some other tasks.
The remaining four bamboo slips list tasks respectively.
"Large-scale fetal disappearances occurred in three townships, six villages and two towns. The time span spanned eighty-seven years. Pregnant women died tragically in the fourth and fifth months of pregnancy. The death conditions were the same. Their stomachs were cut open, and the placenta and fetus were removed. It was suspected that a vicious ghost was at work.
.”
It was another murderous case. Wang Fu took a deep breath and the candle reminded him not to go.
"The water ghost is entrenched in the narrow bay. It is an evil ghost. It has destroyed more than a hundred ships and eaten countless people. It needs to be solved urgently."
This one is not a vicious ghost, but an evil ghost level, but it is equally difficult.
Water ghosts, like mountain ghosts, rely on their unique environment to fight guerrillas against you. If you can't catch your whereabouts, attacking a hundred people will be in vain.
To put it bluntly, this task is in the middle realm of Jiuqu, those in the higher realms don’t like it, and it can’t be solved in the first realm, so it is delayed like this.
"In Xiejiazhuang Market, a batch of 'life-demanding money' has recently flowed out. They were made into paper ingots, and all the holders have lost their families and their families."
It involves the circulation of funds, and it is also mixed with people's greed. It is a bad debt that cannot be sorted out. Who wants to go and who will go?
"The Lord of Yin City is suspected of being occupied by evil spirits. In recent years, strange things have happened frequently under his rule. The people are in dire straits. We need to find out and solve them."
Wang Fu suddenly raised his head. It was too dangerous for the lord of a city, who commanded tens of thousands of people, to be overtaken by evil spirits.
After screening with the life fire candle, the five tasks, except for the third and fourth two, the other three are all propositions.
All right!
There really aren't many to choose from, either a water ghost case or asking for life money?
Wang Fu's heart moved and he held the bamboo slip of the Water Ghost Case and said, "Teacher Yan, I choose this one."
Teacher Yan glanced at it and nodded, "Let's go down after choosing!"
He also reminded Wang Fu, "If you fail in your mission, you will be banned from practicing for three years without being punished twice."
"Thank you, Professor Yan."
By the way, the senior brother forwarded the news to Ge Yuncong and told him that the matter was settled.
Ge Yuncong immediately found Chu Hanguang and told him the good news.
"The water ghost comes and goes in the rivers like the wind, and can possess fish, shrimps and shellfish. It is extremely difficult to deal with. The mud is rolling under the water and there are clumps of algae. Even if you open your Dharma Eyes, you can't find any trace of it."
"The senior brother who played the song before spent three months without success, and also lost ten boats and hundreds of boatmen used as bait."
Ge Yuncong said happily, "Hanguang, this time you can relieve your anger. If Wang Fuyi is lucky and returns to the Taoist temple with nothing, he will have to abstain from cultivation for three years. In these three years, you have already soared into the sky and left him behind."
"If you are unlucky and are pulled into the bottom of the river by a water ghost and die in vain, you can only blame him for his unlucky fate."
The most important thing is that this water ghost seems to be proficient in 'water escape'.
Water Escape can reach thousands of miles in one breath, and practitioners of the same level cannot catch up.
He had already inquired clearly before coming here. The water ghost case seemed to be less dangerous than other cases, but in fact it was very difficult. Yunyangguan sent several groups of people one after another, but they could not solve it. Over time, it became an unsolved case, and no one took action.
Otherwise, would it be an easy-to-get score question that could offset the three-year ban on studying?
"Wang Fu will regret it soon, why not just choose the first option."
Chu Hanguang nodded and could conclude that after this time, Wang Fu could no longer be a threat.
A three-year ban on cultivation is enough to ruin a genius' future.
At the same time, Wang Fu returned to the courtyard and was entertaining a guest.
Time is running out, and Professor Yan only gave him one month for the task of this water ghost case. Once the time limit is up, he cannot return to Taoism and return to life. Even if he solves the water ghost case, it will not be considered complete.
It’s a race against time, there’s no time to waste!
However, when Wang Fu invited guests, he was always sharpening his sword and chopping firewood.
"Qianfan, your family has been running a boating business for generations, can you help me find a way?"
That's right, his guest is Jiang Qianfan. The boat company has been out running boats all year round and knows everything about the rivers.
Waging a good intelligence war is the first step to success.
