Please follow the script of cultivating immortals

After seeing such a scene, several people ran into the house, running faster than their souls.

Go into the house, lock the door, lock the windows.

After finishing in one breath, the four of them squatted down and breathed heavily.

Jiang Li asked Shi Qingjue.

"Boss, that won't happen..."

"To shut up!"

He Qingfeng stopped Jiang Li. He didn't want to hear that word again.

Shi Qingjue also looked at Jiang Li.

"Can you draw talismans?"

"...Where can I go?"

At this time, Yu Zhulin took out several of his magical weapons and looked at them one by one.

He Qingfeng was a little confused and asked her.

"What are you looking for?"

"With so many magic weapons, there must be some that can ward off evil spirits. I'll look for which one might be it."

"What are you looking for this time! Hang them all up!"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, the group of people immediately hung all their magical weapons, including those on Tieniu, on the doors and windows.

After doing this, He Qingfeng said.

"Now, it's no problem."

So, Shi Qingjue and He Qingfeng planned to go back to the house.

Yu Zhulin reached out and pulled Jiang Li, and Jiang Li knew what she meant, and then called out to Shi Qingjue.

"Boss, do you need us to protect you? I am invincible, she is the God of War."

No one believes this statement.

He Qingfeng couldn't hold it back, laughed out loud, and then suppressed it.

Shi Qingjue also knew that they were a little scared.

So, Shi Qing told them both.

"You guys should also bring the quilt."

"okay."

When there were more people, he was no longer afraid. He Qingfeng also knew about this, so he didn't say anything.

After taking the quilt, Jiang Li and Yu Zhulin also followed Shi Qingjue's method, spreading the old quilt on the ground and covering themselves with the new quilt. The bed above was left to Tieniu alone.

I lay down, but even several people couldn't fall asleep. Who could sleep after just seeing such a terrifying scene in the well?

Except for the unseen Iron Bull.

After a while, Yuzhulin asked Jiang Li.

"Xiaoyue, are you asleep?"

"Sleep."

"Let's talk conversation, I'm still a little scared."

After hearing this, Jiang Li sat up and looked at the jade bamboo forest next to him.

"You don't have to be afraid. There are a few of us here to accompany you. Even if there is a ghost, according to the order of entry, it will have to attack He Qingfeng first."

"I can hear it."

He Qingfeng also sat up. Neither he nor Shi Qingjue fell asleep.

After Shi Qingjue sat up, Yu Zhulin also sat up.

Then, they listened to Shi Qingjue's words.

"My father has been solving crimes for so many years and told me that except for a small part that is really caused by ghosts and foxes, which mortals can't handle and have to be solved by immortal cultivators, the rest are all caused by someone. How could it be possible for us to be allowed to do this by such a coincidence? Encountered a ghost."

Shi Qingjue's words did not make everyone feel at ease at all, but they could feel the thoughts that Shi Qingjue wanted to convey in his words.

Jiang Li asked again at this time.

"Hey, you said that people killed by ghosts will also become ghosts, right?"

"It should be, what's wrong?"

He Qingfeng answered, and Jiang Li asked again.

"Then you say, after everyone turns into a ghost, the ghost that was killed is not allowed to fight with it."

Several people laughed out loud.

Jiang Li asked again.

"And there will be people who want revenge. When they find out that their enemies are dead, they commit suicide and become ghosts to hunt down their enemies."

Several people laughed louder again.

Such a strange statement caused several people to ignore the horrific scene just now. They began to discuss such strange things, and then the topic drifted to other places and they stopped thinking about it. The fear subsided and they planned to go to sleep.

Immediately afterwards, another white figure floated outside the window.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Then why sleep? Stop sleeping.

The four of them huddled together, wrapped in quilts, and spent the night like this.

No matter how it is a ghost, it must be afraid of the sun. This was stipulated many years ago.

After making sure that the sun had reached the front door, a few people looked out of the window.

Beyond the well, there is nothing.

He Qingfeng looked at Jiang Li.

"Should we have breakfast?"

"Does it mean that if I say it's time to eat, I have to go out and make breakfast?"

Jiang Li asked, and He Qingfeng nodded shamelessly.

But at this point, Jiang Li seemed to have nothing to say to He Qingfeng. Whatever he said, he had to go out, otherwise the food cooked by these guys would be really unpalatable.

Therefore, Jiang Li looked towards Yuzhu Forest.

"Yuzhulin, is it your turn to make medicine for Tieniu today?"

"Why are you talking about me all of a sudden? We should talk to the outside world in unison."

Yu Zhulin was a little panicked and looked at Shi Qingjue again.

"Boss..."

"...I might as well quit my job."

Shi Qingjue came up with this idea again.

But Jiang Li was unforgiving.

"It's okay if you don't do it, then we'll kick you out."

"... Let's get together. We'll share the joys and sorrows together. Except for the one at the back."

Shi Qingjue said, looking at Tieniu who was still lying behind.

Tieniu had already woken up, but did not speak. Only then did he speak.

"It's a pity that the poor monk is still very weak and can't accompany you all..."

Jiang Li walked next to him and smiled.

"You will recover one day."

"share weal and woe."

He Qingfeng was also talking to Tieniu over there.

Tieniu felt a hint of chill again and continued.

"Don't worry, this poor monk will never get better in this life."

Shi Qing paid no attention to him and went out with a few people. Outside it was the same as yesterday during the day, as if nothing happened at night.

At this time, they also need to take another look at the well, after all, they still need to drink water today.

The so-called bravery means knowing what dangers may be encountered, but still going.

The same four people were holding hands and looking into the well, but this time, it was no different from before. It was still the same well, with nothing in it.

"Even if there is a ghost, let's get off work now."

After Shi Qingjue finished speaking, he said to Jiang Li again.

"Don't use this well for cooking today. Although the well water is flowing, I feel really uncomfortable." "Okay, I'll go to the house diagonally across the street to borrow some."

"Let Qingfeng go, you prepare to cook. Yuzhulin prepares the medicinal materials, and I will study the well here."

Shi Qingjue assigned tasks to everyone, and everyone started taking action.

As for Shi Qingjue, he has been playing around in the yamen since he was four years old. He has never solved a real case, but he has seen a lot of cases. Some police officers also taught him a few things, and he still remembered them.

When breakfast was ready, the medicine was not yet available. This sumptuous meal was not suitable for breakfast, but since they finally had money, they had to enjoy it.

Tieniu's food is not that rich, it's not fishy or greasy, it's not spicy enough, it's difficult to digest, and it's a burden on the body. But even so, this is much better than the tofu and greens served a few days ago.

While eating, Shi Qing absolutely said that everyone

"I still think the one from yesterday was not a ghost, but maybe a human."

"Human? Why are people in the well?"

Yu Zhulin asked, and Shi Qingjue continued.

"I found traces of wear on the rope at the edge of the well. It was completely different from the cloth we used to lift water. So I suspected that someone had gone down into the well. The other person Tieniu saw yesterday should be the person responsible for holding the rope. , but as soon as we went out, he ran away, leaving only the one in white clothes in the well."

"Just by the wear and tear of the rope?"

Jiang Li was a little surprised by Shi Qingjue's reasoning, and Shi Qingjue nodded.

"It's just speculation now. Once we find that person, everything will be clear."

"Do you suspect that they also know that there is gold in the well and want to find it?"

"Yes. But for details, we still have to ask the city lord today. Let's eat first."

Shi Qingjue answered He Qingfeng, and they continued to eat.

After finishing his meal and drinking the medicine, Tieniu continued to lie down. His condition has improved a bit and he should be able to go to the ground normally tomorrow.

With this done, Shi Qingjue asked Yu Zhulin and Jiang Li to take care of Tieniu here while he and He Qingfeng went to find the city lord.

This was rejected by Jiang Li.

"I want to see the city lord."

"We are two men, so it is convenient for us to do things."

"Isn't it convenient for me to go?"

Jiang Li asked Shi Qingjue again. Shi Qingjue didn't know how to answer, so He Qingfeng just said it.

"If the city lord is a lecher, at least he won't touch us."

"What if the city lord is as good as Long Yang?"

Jiang Li asked He Qingfeng.

How to answer this? Neither He Qingfeng nor Shi Qingjue answered.

Jiang Li continued.

"I heard that the city lord used to be a member of the Jianghu. If he can govern Macheng until there are no criminals, he must have some means. If he likes any of you, we will not be able to save you in time."

"It's a sin to be handsome."

He Qingfeng shook his head and muttered to himself.

Shi Qingjue asked Jiang Li.

"Is there any reason why you want to go so badly?"

"Because I have never met the city lord."

"... Such a simple reason is placed on you, but it is not unexpected at all."

Shi Qingjue thought Jiang Li had some special reason.

But for Jiang Li, when she was in Sifang City, she had no chance to meet the city lord, so she only took advantage of him. And now that she had the opportunity to meet another city lord, how could she give up?

Soon, two people appeared at the door of the City Lord's Mansion.

Generally, the city lord also serves as the county magistrate, managing not only the troops defending the city, but also the public security in the city. Although there are some subdivisions in terms of responsibilities, in the city, the city lord is the center of power.

This City Lord's Mansion was similar to what Jiang Li had seen before. It was a square building with three doors. The main door was the entrance to the court, the side door was the entrance to the City Lord's Mansion, and the back door was the entrance for miscellaneous matters.

What Shi Qingjue wanted to go this time was the entrance to the court.

"Why come in from here?"

Jiang Li asked Shi Qingjue, and Shi Qingjue answered her.

"Because we also have a case. If you enter through the gate of the city lord's palace, you must be an acquaintance."

After beating the drum and being searched for weapons, the two men went to court and met the city lord.

The city lord of Macheng, whose surname is Qi, has an ordinary appearance but sharp eyes. Those eyes are the result of years of practice in solving cases. In terms of appearance, he could tell that he had done some training, but his energy and spirit really didn't look like that of someone in his fifties.

After seeing the city lord, Jiang Li was satisfied, but no longer excited.

"Who is in the hall?"

City Lord Qi asked, and Shi Qingjue quickly replied.

"Back to the Lord of the City. The five of us are from the martial arts world. We are going to the martial arts conference and will stay in Macheng temporarily. We now live in a house in Wuli Lane in the east of the city. It is said to be a haunted house. It used to be the place of Sun Baozhen, the rich man."

"Oh……"

After hearing this, City Lord Qi lowered his eyes for a moment, then immediately recovered, and then asked.

"There's no problem with that. Let's talk about your reasons for coming."

"We fished out thirty-two gold bricks from the well, about one thousand six hundred taels."

"What? One thousand six hundred taels of gold?"

Upon hearing this, City Lord Qi's eyes widened.

Shi Qingjue nodded.

"So we came to see the adults immediately and wanted to know what happened that year."

"...You guys come behind me."

City Lord Qi said this to the two people, and Shi Qingjue and Jiang Li followed him.

Soon, they went to the study room, where there were many books and some files, which City Lord Qi focused on studying.

After entering, City Lord Qi asked two people.

"I don't know one thing."

"Lord City Lord, please speak."

"There are only three households living in Wuli Lane. No one else knows about the gold, right? Then why didn't you just swallow it and why did you come to tell me?"

"A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. If this is stolen money, then we must first bring the deceased to justice."

"What happens after you seek justice?"

Generally speaking, this is a hint that you want to receive benefits.

Shi Qingjue hated this, and so did Jiang Li.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, City Lord Qi laughed.

"Do you think I will keep it for myself? Sun Bao is my friend, there is no way I can take his money."

After saying this, City Lord Qi continued.

"I used to be a Jianghu person, and my martial arts skills have been abolished, but I am still a Jianghu person in my heart. I can't do anything with the money of my dead friends. Mrs. Sun Baozhen's son has not been able to live well in his parents' family in the past few years. This money I'll give it to them."

After saying that, City Lord Qi took down a dossier from the top bookshelf and said to the two people.

"As for the case, you can see it for yourself. If there is anything you don't know, I will tell you again."

Shi Qingjue took the file, and Jiang Li also came over to take a look.

Eleven years ago, Sun Baozhen died in this private residence after spending three thousand taels of gold from his family. City Lord Qi was already the City Lord at that time, so when his friend died, he was naturally concerned.

Sun Baozhen died with a knife in his throat, and the woman he was having an affair with was stabbed in the heart. Both of these two ways of death involve a lot of bleeding, so when Mrs. Sun Baozhen came to find her, she fainted to the ground with fright.

The investigation started with the woman Sun Baozhen had an affair with, but not much was found. I only heard that this woman was a girl from Chunxiang House, but she had no friends, and she was also sold into it.

Some time later, someone received a pendant at the casino. City Lord Qi is very clever, so the casino owner also has to work for him. Seeing that the pendant looked like something lost by Sun Baozhen that the city lord had mentioned, the casino owner hurried to notify the city lord Qi.

After catching those two people, they just said that they were passing by and picked up something, denying the murder and taking money.

City Lord Qi felt that these two men were very suspicious, but after being beaten a hundred times, their confessions did not change. There was no other way. The city lord had no choice but to sentence the two men severely for the crime of theft, put gold on their heads, and sentenced them to three thousand miles of exile.

Since then, the case has become unsolved.

Seeing this, Shi Qingjue asked City Lord Qi.

"Lord City Lord, were there two people who were exiled at that time?"

"Yes. My eyes are not wrong. They must have killed him, but there is no evidence at all."

"Lord City Lord, our gold was found in the well. Last night, I suspected that two people sneaked into the well."
