Chapter 17 The Story of the Belly Bandit Thief

Yi Changle took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the little second hand, flattering him: "Young second brother, you might as well say it bluntly, the two of us are not talkative people."

Money can turn ghosts around. After Xiaoer received the money, he stopped hemming and hawing, "You two don't know. Half a month ago, all the bellybands of Jiji girls in Qingshan City were stolen at the same time. I thought The thief should have left immediately after committing such a big case, but as soon as a new Jiji woman appears, he will appear to steal the bellyband."

Xiaoer then said awkwardly: "That's why I remind the girl to be more careful at night, and be careful of personal belongings being stolen."

"Thank you for reminding me, little brother." Yi Changle thanked Xiaoer.

After Xiaoer went downstairs, Yi Changle dragged Jiang Yuchuan into the room, "I have a solution."

"what?"

"Just now the little girl said that as long as there is a new Jiji girl, Xie Chong will come out to steal the bellyband, so he should appear in my room tonight, so we might as well sit on the sidelines."

After thinking deeply, Jiang Yuchuan nodded in agreement.

Late at night, the lobby of Qingshan Inn was empty, a black figure sneaked in through the crack of the door, went straight to the second floor, and slipped into Yi Changle's room through the crack of the door.

The room was pitch black, he took a breath towards the bed, and stretched his hand to the bellyband beside the bed.

A hand stopped him, "So it was formed by a shadow." It was Jiang Yuchuan who spoke.

Yi Changle, who was lying on the bed, waved his hand lightly, the candle was lit, and the room was lit up again.

Jiang Yuchuan fixed the shadow in place, and he asked Yi Changle and Jiang Yuchuan angrily, "Who are you?"

"Why are you angry?" Yi Changle couldn't help being a little amused when he heard Shadow Jing's tone.

The Shadow Spirit taunted: "I didn't kill innocent people, and I didn't steal gold and silver treasures. You seem to be monks. Why are you so idle to take care of such trivial matters?"

"Being a thief, are you still so confident? You know, stealing bellybands will destroy the innocence of these women, what will they do if they are pointed out in the future?" Yi Changle was a little angry.

"Will it be?" Shadow Jing asked Jiang Yuchuan.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded helplessly.

"Then what should I do? I didn't know it would happen." There was a bit of remorse in the shadow spirit's voice.

"Why did you steal the bellyband? The bellyband is not something that can help you practice." Jiang Yuchuan asked.

"To find someone's reincarnation." Shadow Jing replied.

"Reincarnation, why did you steal the bellyband?" Jiang Yuchuan looked very puzzled.

"I just got a chance to cultivate into a master. I don't have a very advanced cultivation base. I can't tell the reincarnation of a person. I can only confirm it from the breath. If I always appear in front of them, it will inevitably be suspicious. I can only steal it." Their underwear to determine the breath, and find the person I am looking for." Shadow Jing explained.

"Why are you looking for that person's reincarnation?" Yi Changle asked.

"In order to see if she is doing well, someone once knelt down and worshiped three thousand steps in front of the Buddha for her, day after day, for ten years, just to make her a stable life after reincarnation." The shadow spirit was a little sad.

Shadow Jing slowly recalled: "There used to be a scholar surnamed Gu in Qingshan City, who grew up with his neighbor, Xiaohong. They were childhood sweethearts. Before the scholar went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he expressed his heart to Xiaohong, and Xiaohong had already known it. There will be a scholar, and the scholar will propose marriage to Xiaohong's family, and only wait for the merits of the exam to come back and marry Xiaohong."

"The scholar lived up to everyone's expectations and achieved fame. Who knows that he did not come back to marry Xiaohong as promised, but married the prime minister's daughter. When Xiaohong heard the news, she was so distressed that she chose to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff."

"This scholar surnamed Gu is really a heartless man!" Yi Changle scolded angrily.

"You and the people in Qingshan City think the same thing, but the truth is not like this." Shadow Jing continued: "The scholar's appearance is very handsome, and he is also known as a handsome man in this Qingshan City. The prime minister's daughter fell in love with her and wanted to marry the scholar by force, but the scholar thought of Xiaohong and refused to do so."

"The prime minister has only one daughter, so it's natural that it hurts to hold her in the palm of his hand. Whatever she wants, the prime minister will try his best to help her get it, naturally including scholars."

"The prime minister sent people to Qingshan City, the scholar's hometown, to inquire, and easily found out about the marriage contract between Xiaohong and the scholar. He threatened the scholar with the lives of Xiaohong's family and the scholar's mother. The scholar lost his father when he was young, and it was his mother who dragged him away. Growing up, when Xiaohong's little nephew was born, the scholar hugged him personally, but in desperation, the scholar had no choice but to marry the prime minister's daughter."

"Can't the scholar sue the emperor and let the emperor decide for him?" Yi Changle found a flaw.

Shadow Jing sneered, "That fatuous and incompetent emperor only knows how to listen to the prime minister, so how could he decide for the scholar?"

"After the news of Xiaohong's death reached the capital, the scholar was devastated, but he had no choice but to endure the humiliation in front of the prime minister and wait for the opportunity quietly. After more than ten years, he finally found the opportunity and annihilated the prime minister's family in one fell swoop. , and pulled down that fatuous emperor from his horse, and installed another Mingjun.”

"After doing these things, the scholar still refused to forgive himself. He felt that he had killed Xiaohong, so he retired to a temple. There were three thousand steps in front of the Buddha in the temple. He kowtowed one after another, day after day. Day after day, year after year, I just wish for Xiaohong to have a safe and smooth next life."

"I am the shadow of the scholar. There is no one to complain about the suffering in the scholar's heart. He often tells me the emotions in his heart under the moonlight, his love for Xiaohong, his resentment towards the prime minister's family...he will tell me, The scholar knelt down before the Buddha day after day, which made me open up my wisdom, and only then did I have the opportunity to cultivate to become a master."

"So what you're looking for is Xiaohong's reincarnation?" Yi Changle's tone was somewhat determined.

Shadow Jing nodded, "After the scholar died, he didn't want to enter reincarnation. He wandered around Xiaohong's tomb all day long. I wanted to find Xiaohong's reincarnation so that the scholar could fulfill his wish and enter reincarnation. But I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find it. With Xiaohong's reincarnation, the scholar's soul is getting weaker and weaker, if it is not as good as reincarnation, he will probably disappear in the world soon."

The shadow said with some decadence: "I am really useless."

After listening to the story of Shadow Spirit, Yi Changle looked towards Jiang Yuchuan, "Help him."

Jiang Yuchuan nodded, then took out a tortoise shell, injected a bit of mana into it, and the tortoise shell was suspended in the air. After a while, he said, "Xiao Hong has not reincarnated."

"Could it be that she, like the scholar, is unwilling to reincarnate." Yi Changle guessed.

Jiang Yuchuan shook his head, "Xiaohong didn't reincarnate because she hasn't died yet."

"Impossible! Xiaohong jumped off a cliff!" Shadow Spirit denied.

"Over the years, have you visited the scholar's grave?" Jiang Yuchuan asked Ying Yingjing.

"I haven't been there. Since the scholar's soul is in front of Xiaohong's tomb, why should I go to the scholar's grave." Shadow Jing denied.

"If you take us to the scholar's grave, we should be able to find the answer," Jiang Yuchuan said.

"Then I'll take you there now." The shadow spirit's tone was full of anxiety.

The scholar's grave is not near Qingshan City. We took the spaceship from night to dawn before arriving at the scholar's grave.

The scholar's tomb was not as overgrown with weeds as he had imagined, but was well-organized. There was not a single weed in front of the tomb. The offerings seemed to have just been replaced, and there was a bunch of flowers in front of the tomb.

Shadow Spirit couldn't help wondering, "The scholar has no relatives in this world, why would someone come to worship him?"

"Is Xiaohong the one who worshiped him?" Yi Changle asked Jiang Yuchuan.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded, pointed to the cabin in front of him, and said to Shadow Jing, "The answer you are looking for is in that cabin."

As soon as Jiang Yuchuan finished speaking, an old lady with white hair and a long knife mark on her face came out of the wooden house. Shadow stepped forward and asked her, "Why are you standing guard here?" Looking at Gu Heng's tomb?"

The old lady didn't answer, but looked at Shadow Jing with a defensive face.

Shadow Jing explained: "I am Gu Heng's shadow..."

Yi Changle quickly interrupted Shadow Jing, "He is Gu Heng's adopted son."

"Yezi? During Gu Heng's ten years in Fotu Temple, why have you never seen him?" the old lady asked.

"You followed him to Fotu Temple and guarded his tomb, who are you?" Shadow Spirit asked.

"Since you are his adopted son, do you know that before Gu Heng went to the capital, he had a fiancée in Qingshan City, and I am his fiancée Jiang Hong in Qingshan City." Jiang Hong replied.

"But didn't you jump off the cliff?" There was some disbelief in the shadow spirit's voice.

Jiang Hong sneered, "Jump off a cliff? I was forced to jump off a cliff by Gu Heng's cruel wife!"
