Chapter 280 The wild fox worships the command of Jin Yamen
"Shut your mouth!"

Geshu Dashi was furious, his beard and hair were spread out, and his eyes were as bright as sapphire: "Could it be that I, Gouchen Yuan, will beat me to death and kill innocent people unjustly?"

He chopped the mountain monk's huge body with a knife, and the bones and flesh were clearly visible: "This ghost secretly replaced the iron pot used for cooking in the inn, and poisoned 13 of my sergeants. Now the evidence of the crime is still on it." Carrying it on my back, how could I have been wronged?"

"Shout twice? How many times do you call me mother? Who should the 13 good men who died tragically to death complain to? How can I have the chance to call you mother a few times?"

Dongguo Kunyu had never seen such a ferocious spirit as Geshu Dashi. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his eye circles began to turn red rapidly.

"Bah! What a whimpering bitch!"

Geshu Dashi spat disdainfully, pulled out the knife from the mountain monk, and pointed it at the boy and girl aside: "These two broke into the mountain people's house at night and bit a sleeping hunter to death. They accidentally escaped while escaping. He fell into a trap behind the house and was caught on the spot by the hunter's neighbor. The evidence is so conclusive that it cannot be denied?"

Having said that, the Hundred Horsemen of Gouchen Academy stared at Zen Master Zhenjue with blazing eyes: "Does Master have anything else to say? If not, just stand aside and don't hinder someone's execution!"

Zen Master Zhenjue bowed slightly when he heard this, pointed at his mouth, then at the virgin, and then started throwing gold bricks again.

Ge Shu Dashi laughed angrily, bent down and picked up a piece of gold chain: "Master, look carefully, we came from Liaozhou, the most indispensable thing is gold!"

Zen Master Zhenjue was stunned for a moment, then he raised the wooden ball and shook it, and what came out of it were silver ingots, colored glaze, coral, amber, clams, agate and other objects.

Obviously the wooden ball was no bigger than a bucket, but it seemed to hold the entire Fuya Temple's money and treasures in its belly.

The jewels and jewels all over the floor made the people around them feel excited. Although no one spoke, everyone's breathing was several times heavier. If it weren't for Zen Master Zhenjue who was obviously unfathomable, the soldiers from Gouchenyuan and Dongguo clan were also there. The tigers are watching eagerly, fearing that someone has already taken action to snatch it away.

"Master is really good at planning!" A young man's voice suddenly came from the west gate tower.

Before he finished speaking, a strong wind blew towards his face. Qi Jingzhi landed steadily in front of Zen Master Zhenjue, with a pair of iron wings behind his back suddenly converging into a shield.

"Previously, the Zen Master ordered an envoy to send a message, saying that there were not enough orpiment essences hidden in the temple, and the other seven treasure essences had their own uses. It would take a few more days to raise money. Is it possible that these...mundane things would be all that could be raised? Bar?"

Qi Jingzhi pointed to the seven Buddhist treasures at the opponent's feet. Although they were also valuable, there were not many that could be called the best. He seemed to be preparing to win with quantity.

When the young school captain accused him in public of being dishonest, Zen Master Zhenjue immediately looked ashamed and quickly covered his face with the wooden ball messenger with kind eyebrows and a smile.

"Okay! It's really a good plan!"

Geshu Dashi understood the general idea, and immediately said angrily: "Are you going to use the property that originally belonged to Gouchen Yuan to redeem the murderer in Gouchen Yuan? A dignified Buddhist monk actually started a business without a capital!"

Hearing this, Zen Master Zhenjue couldn't help being ashamed and shook his head quickly, almost breaking the silence he had practiced for many years. After all, it was a small thing to lose his own face, but smashing the signboard of Fuya Temple would be a big deal. Death cannot be redeemed.

The old monk directly put his hand into the mouth of the wooden ball messenger, and took out a nearly transparent glass bottle. He shook it slightly in his hand. The water in the bottle immediately rippled, and a golden glow appeared, rendering the entire glass bottle into A golden vase.

Zen Master Zhenjue stepped forward slowly, smiled apologetically at Qi Jingzhi, and handed the glass bottle over.

"This……"

Qi Jingzhi sensed it briefly and knew that the orpiment essence in the glass bottle was not only extremely pure, but also obviously much more than the empty green corpse exchanged at the beginning, so he hesitated but refused to reach out to pick it up.

Although in front of Pu's Restaurant that day, Lishan Guangye had speculated that Zen Master Zhenjue and Peng Yuanbao would probably pay a premium in order to make good friends with Gouchen Yuan. However, the situation was different at this moment. The old monk obviously wanted to redeem the money. If Qi Jingzhi accepts this bottle of orpiment essence rashly, he will be suspected of accepting bribes and bending the law for personal gain.

"Wei Bao has met his benefactor!"

Wei Bao, who had been silent all this time, walked over and gave Qi Jingzhi a solemn clasped fist salute.

After the ceremony, he picked up the golden chain with his toes, took it in his hand, and pointed to the golden cow at the end of the chain: "If my benefactor needs the essence of gold, just take it, why bother the eminent Buddhist monk?"

These words were spoken in a cool and bold manner, with the style of ancient heroes. For a moment, everyone looked at him, even Dongguo Kunyu's eyes lit up. For the first time, he took a serious look at the silent and cold Baiqi Commander of Gouchen Academy. At the same time, he secretly thought about the six East China Seas. Is there any wealthy family in the state whose surname is Wei?

Qi Jingzhi smiled at Wei Bao: "I forgot, when it comes to the depth of understanding of gold energy, there are not many people in the world who can surpass Brother Wei."

"It's a pity that I have paid for the goods long ago, and now I am the creditor of this Zen master. If I don't collect the money, won't I lose everything?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the old monk: "Could it be that Zen Master wants to use the extra orpiment essence and these seven Buddhist treasures to atone for the sins of the two human foxes?"

Zen Master Zhenjue shook his head again when he heard this, and then pointed and gestured again. It took a long time for everyone to understand what he meant.

Even if it is extremely troublesome, this old monk is unwilling to expose the magic of the wooden ball messenger in front of ordinary people in the royal capital. Lishan Guangye did mention that the chief intellectual monk of Fuya Temple and the wooden ball messenger went down the mountain to pray for alms. , they only went to the homes of noble families, wealthy businessmen, and merchants, and did not extend their hands to ordinary people and ordinary people.

Qi Jingzhi had this thought in his mind and tried to interpret it: "What does the Zen Master want to say is that the essence of orpiment is just to repay the debt, and the excess is interest? The essence of the other seven treasures is not to redeem the murderer, but to exchange for that A vixen speaks?"

Seeing the old monk from Fuya Temple nodding with joy, the young military attachés from Gouchen Academy couldn't help but look at each other.

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, especially Ge Shu Dashi and Wei Bao, who nodded firmly, indicating that they and others were not innocent. In the end, Qi Jingzhi made the final decision: "The deal is done!"

So, the young captain reached out and took the glass bottle. The purple-bearded and blue-eyed boy stood behind the boys and girls holding a black knife. The young man who was so poor that he only had gold shook the golden chain in his hand...

The next moment, the body of the girl kneeling on the ground swayed and turned into a purple fox with bright fur in the blink of an eye. There was also a white skull on the fox's head.

The skull was clearly a human bone, and at the same time it was extremely small and clearly belonged to a child.

At this time, the skull was covered with dense cracks, and many light spots like stars were escaping from the cracks.

Zihu soon discovered the changes in himself, and was immediately filled with surprises, even shouting out: "You're wronged!"

This voice made Geshu Dashi very angry. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He raised the black Geshu knife and was about to chop the little beast to death.

"I bit someone to death and am willing to commit suicide. My husband has done no evil, so please spare his life!" In just a moment, the purple fox wearing a skull has already vomited a lot of words. It's really hard for it to say such a thing. It's so clear soon.

Therefore, Geshu Dashi's knife was not cut off, otherwise he would be suspected of being silenced.

He immediately snorted angrily: "That's nonsense! Both of you were captured on the spot. Are you saying it didn't do any evil?"

Upon hearing this, Zihu hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the skull on his head fell to the ground with a snap, shattering to pieces on the spot.

"My lords, my husband and I are wild foxes in the mountains. We have little strength and low cultivation. We have always been indifferent to the world, and we dare not harm others. One night, I was practicing illusion in the mountains and came to a critical point. At the critical moment, the hunter caught her unexpectedly and took her home and humiliated her in every possible way."

"My husband came here on the trail and wanted to rescue my concubine while the hunter was sleeping. Unexpectedly, the hunter suddenly woke up in the middle of the road, and the two sides started fighting on the spot. Seeing that my husband was defeated and his life was at stake, I had no choice but to bite open the concubine. Human throat.”

Zihu spoke quickly and urgently, but the logic was very clear. It was obvious that he had said these words in his heart countless times.

"Then after, our husband and wife knew that we were in trouble, so we panicked and ran away. My husband accidentally fell into a trap, and I refused to leave him to live alone. Then we were both captured, and we happened to meet the leader of the army passing by... "

Hearing this, Geshu Dashi couldn't help but look at Wei Bao, and immediately asked angrily: "If that's the case, why did you guys press your fingerprints so happily when you made the seal? Humph, now we have become a sentient being. Righteous mandarin ducks are so miserable. Could it be that they recanted their confessions when they saw that they had a supporter, hoping to escape guilt and avoid death?"

Purple Fox straightened up after hearing this, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I dare not deceive you sirs. We killed people in the first place. Even if we were captured by the mountain people, we still wanted to play illusions and wait for an opportunity to escape."

"But when we were tied up by this golden rope and couldn't use any of our strength or cultivation, and couldn't even make a sound, we knew that there was no way to survive this time. In order to suffer less before we die, In pain, I can only admit my guilt."

After saying that, the purple female fox turned her head and glanced at the male fox, her eyes were like those of a human woman, full of tenderness.

The boy kneeling beside him was still unable to move at all, but his eyes were already filled with tears.

The purple vixen withdrew her gaze and bowed to Qi Jingzhi Yingying, who was obviously the person in charge of Gouchen Courtyard: "The law of the human race is that a person must be killed to pay for his life. There is nothing to distinguish about me, let alone expect to survive."

"It's just that my husband is so innocent. I have no intention of harming anyone, and I have no intention of killing anyone. At most, I am just fighting with others. I really shouldn't die with my concubine. Please be careful!"

As Zihu paid his respects, everyone's eyes focused on the young captain of Gouchen Academy.

"There are sentient beings..."

At this moment, Qi Jingzhi seemed to be back on the ancient tree in Xiaosong Mountain where the "Fox Saw Tree" farce was staged, and he seemed to be standing in the lobby of the Songling County Underworld Division where Shen Ruhai and the remnants of the tiger spirit were being interrogated.

"Back then, the red fox stole bait several times, and when it was caught, it opened its mouth to commit murder. If it didn't know whether to live or die, it would be killed. But if what the purple fox said was true, the dead hunter would The vixen who looks like a virgin is taken home and subjected to all kinds of sexual humiliation..."

As his thoughts flashed, Qi Jingzhi turned to look at the old monk at Fuya Temple: "Is this why the Zen master has to spend a lot of money to get the vixen to talk?"

When he asked this question, the young man was filled with emotion.

Under his advice, Yu Laochenghuang tried his best to offend Fuya Temple and killed the tiger spirit before the monks could react. But now Zen Master Zhenjue, one of the Four Idiots of Fuya, was present in person. To save the vixen's life from these few people.

At this moment, a female voice suddenly came to everyone's ears, with a cold and chilling tone: "Old monk Zhenjue is a practitioner of closed-mouth meditation. Why don't I answer for him?"

Qi Jingzhi turned around following the sound and saw a slender figure on the tower of Lumen.

This person was obviously a woman in stature. She was wearing a black brocade hooded cloak. Her face could not be seen clearly under the hood, and she was holding a steaming teacup in her hand.

Qi Jingzhi was very familiar with this woman's attire, which was almost the same as that of Dong Mao, Jinyun's envoy from Wuyunsi.

The difference is that Dong Mao has a small crimson auspicious cloud embroidered on the outside of his collar and cuffs, while the auspicious clouds embroidered on this woman's cloak are frosty white, and there are five in each place.

The woman did not identify herself, but Dongguo Kunyu exclaimed: "Wuyunsi Jinyamen, Commander Qiu!"

As soon as Dongguo Kunyu opened his mouth, he was stared at by the woman on the tower, and his voice immediately dropped, so that most of the onlookers only heard the three words Wuyunsi, and only the few closest to him heard everything.

"Wuyun Sijin Yamen?"

Qi Jingzhi thought for a while and understood that the five yamen of Qingyun, Jinyun, Baiyun, Heiyun, and Huangyun in Wuyun Division obviously corresponded to the five elements of wood, fire, gold, water, and earth. The golden yamen mentioned by Dongguo Kunyu should It’s another name for Baiyun Yamen.

According to Yu Laochenghuang, the Wuyun Commander of the Wuyun Division of the Zhenmo Yuan and the Wuhuo Order of the Chiyou Division's Staff Supervisor check and balance each other. They take turns to serve as guards in the palace and cannot be appointed unless they are the confidants of the king.

Commander Qiu who stood on the tower of Lumen was clearly such a giant. He played an important role in the Demon Suppressing Academy and the palace guard system. If compared, he should be roughly equivalent to the Sixth Army General of Gouchen Academy.

"Shou Changshi is present. Although the voice of this Jinya commander sounds very young, there is no doubt about his identity. He must be a senior expert with profound cultivation."

"Actually, if you think about it, if Gouchen Yuan makes such a big noise in the capital of Dongguo, the Demon Suppressing Yuan will not remain indifferent. It is unusual for such a person in charge to come to check."

In a flash of thought, the young man clasped his fists in a distant salute: "Qi Jingzhi, the captain of Gouchen Academy, has seen Commander Qiu! I am stupid, please give me some advice!"

Hearing this, Commander Qiu slowly turned the tea cup in his hand, and after a moment he snorted: "There is no need to teach you! The monks of Fuya Temple like to educate sentient beings who are close to Buddhism, and the most common among them is, Besides tigers, there are wild foxes!”

"The wild fox is also known as the purple fox. It shoots its tail at night and shoots out fire. To be a monster, you must wear a skull and worship the Big Dipper. If the skull does not fall, it will turn into a human."

"Old monk Zhenjue spared no expense to save this pair of phantom wild foxes who share a common bond. That is an extremely common thing."

After hearing this, Zen Master Zhenjue immediately smiled and bowed to Commander Qiu.

The commander of Wuyunsi Jinyamen did not pay attention to the old monk, but suddenly changed the topic: "Qi Jingzhi, right? I see that you have an idea in mind. Let's talk about it first. If you are to try this case, how should you judge it? ?”
