I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

Including Shi Hao, everyone in the hall felt that the laughter was like a drum beating in their ears, deafening.

Qiu Jiangping obviously recognized the person who came, and his face suddenly became ugly, but he looked puzzled, probably because he didn't understand why this person suddenly intervened in the case.

The old Taoist stepped into the hall, flicked his whisk, and made a bow to Shi Yujun: "Poverty Dao Ming Kun Guan Lan Ke Taoist, this is polite."

Shi Yujun is a civil servant, not a martial artist, so he turned to look at the master next to him.

The master hurried forward and whispered in his ear: "Master, this real Lanke is one of the Twelve Perfect Truths of the Chongxian Sect, and he is also the senior brother of the master of the Mingkun Temple."

Shi Yujun was stunned, and he gave a low voice, and said to the old Taoist: "You don't need to be polite! I don't know why the real person came here?"

The old Taoist pointed at the young man wearing a flail, and said with a smile: "Chou Butou said that his master's background is unknown, but he is heretic. This poor Taoist wants to clarify that Shi Hao's martial arts are passed down by the poor Taoist, that is to say, He is an outsider disciple of my Chongxian Sect."

Everyone at the door was in an uproar.Qiu Jiangping hurriedly took a step forward, and said: "Real man! If he is a disciple of the Chongxian sect, why did the Zhuosan people not recognize him in the Hou's mansion that day? Even in martial arts, he can only see that he uses it. Daoist internal force, but I don't know which sect it belongs to?"

The old Taoist Lan Ke waved his fly again, and said with a smile: "It's the first time Mr. Qiu has met the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist has always done things as he pleases. I met this kid in the mountains last year and saw that he is very talented. It is also polite, and on a whim, he taught him the method of inner alchemy cultivation, gave him the mysterious outer alchemy, and laid the foundation of martial arts for him.

"As for the martial arts he uses, hehe, my Chongxianmen is the sect of Taoism in the world. There are countless kinds of martial arts in it, and Junior Sister Zhuo can't know them all. Pindao gave him a book that few people practice. A unique sword manual, this sword manual is a secret treasure of the poor, and it is not surprising that Junior Sister Zhuo does not know it."

Qiu Jiangping said: "This..."

He didn't understand why Shi Hao, who obviously had nothing to do with Chongxianmen, turned around and suddenly became a disciple of Chongxianmen again?

Then he gritted his teeth again, and said coldly: "Even if this person is an outsider sect of Daoist, who committed such a serious crime, wouldn't Chongxian sect have to cover it up?"

Lan Ke said: "If he really committed such a big crime, the poor monk will naturally not condone it. But if someone insists on framing the poor disciple, I will not let him go."

Qiu Jiangping said: "The physical witnesses are all there..."

Lan Ke said in an old way: "The so-called physical evidence is the conclusion after the autopsy? You said that those people who died on Luanqi Mountain were finger wounds with sword aura and freezing aura. Hehe, you And take Pindao to see those corpses, if they are real or not, Pindao will know at a glance."

Qiu Jiangping was expressionless: "Those brothers have been dead for many days, and they have already been cremated by this time."

The crowd at the door immediately went into a commotion.The old man Lanke sneered and said, "Cremation? When did I have such a custom in Western Shu?"

Qiu Jiangping said: "Most of those brothers are not from this county, and they are always sent back to their hometown after death. It is also for convenience to put them in an urn after cremation and send them back to their hometown thousands of miles away."

The old Taoist Lan Ke sneered: "It's not like today that there are such things as transporting corpses for thousands of miles. Xingzhumen, witch religions, etc. all accept this business. The body is hair and skin, and it is given to the parents. How can they not go through these dead people?" The family members agree, just cremate their bodies casually? Is this the style of your six doors? Or are you afraid that someone will check the dead?"

Everyone outside was clamoring, even Shi Yujun couldn't help but glance at Qiu Jiangping, frowning.

It's not that they don't trust the six doors, it's that the six doors have slandered the good as robbers, not once or twice.

Qiu Jiangping was expressionless, and no longer argued.Anyway, since the body has been cremated, no matter how outsiders question it, this conclusion is unquestionable evidence.

Shi Yujun said: "Even if this conclusion is a little insufficient as evidence, last night someone saw Shi Hao mingling with the gangsters who kidnapped children and tried to kill them to silence them. The witnesses have convincing evidence."

Yuan Jia shouted: "That's right, I witnessed it with my own eyes last night, and I was even injured by him, barely escaped."

But a shrill girl's voice sounded outside again: "This is impossible."

Everyone separated at the door, only to see a girl floating in.The girl was wearing a peach-red moiré dress, delicate and beautiful, with a sword tied around her waist.

Shi Yujun said: "This girl is..."

The girl bowed to the hall and said: "The little girl is Du Yuejiao of the Ming Kun Academy. In the past few days, Shi Hao has been with the little girl. The little girl can testify that he never participated in the kidnapping of children."

Qiu Jiangping said: "Miss Du, you didn't recognize him when you were in the Hou Mansion last time."

Du Yuejiao said sharply: "Aren't you always arresting heads? Why is this IQ? Before meeting in the Hou's Mansion, of course they didn't recognize each other. We met in the Hou's Mansion, so wouldn't that make us recognize each other?"

She was mean by nature, and when she spoke sharply, everyone laughed.

Qiu Jiangping was stabbed by this sentence, his face turned red and white, and he said angrily: "At that time, you didn't have a good face for this kid."

Du Yuejiao snorted: "At that time, I didn't know that he was a disciple accepted by my uncle from outside, so why should I give him a good face? When I returned to the temple, I found out that he was a fellow disciple. Man, why should I give him a bad look?

"Because of the bad things you did to him before, you have to apologize to him!"

Yuan Jia shouted: "Even if you are with him these few days, when I met this thief last night, it was at night. He left quietly at night..."

Du Yuejiao said: "Impossible!"

Qiu Jiangping said, "And why?"

Du Yuejiao pursed her lips: "We were together last night."

Yuan Jia said: "It was midnight at that time."

Du Yuejiao said: "We are also together in the middle of the night."

Qiu Jiangping said, "Who else is with you?"

Du Yuejiao said: "It's just the two of us, there was no one else in the wilderness at that time."

Qiu Jiangping said: "He may also be taking advantage of Miss Du while you are asleep..."

Du Yuejiao said: "We didn't sleep either."

Qiu Jiangping frowned and said, "You two, in the middle of the night, in the wilderness, what are you doing?"

The girl's face was blushing, she stomped her foot suddenly, and said shamefully, "You want to take care of it?"

Everyone outside laughed loudly, and someone shouted: "Lonely men and widows, in the middle of the night, in the wilderness where there is no one, and they don't sleep, what do you think they are doing?"

The laughter became louder and louder, and someone even whistled.Someone laughed and said, "They're playing wild...so what!"

Shi Yujun took the gavel and patted: "Quiet! Quiet!" But he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Qiu Jiangping was speechless for a moment.

Shi Yujun frowned, and glared at Qiu Jiangping. Seeing the commotion outside, which was difficult to calm down, he called the master over and asked in a low voice, "Look at this case, how to deal with it."

The master leaned over and said: "Master, I don't think the evidence of these six doors is so credible. This master has the merit of saving the county lord. How can Xiaohanshan City say that he is also a landlord. Chongxianmen is involved, just based on this little evidence..."

Shi Yujun knew of course that this trip to Six Doors was probably another attempt at framing.

It's just that in the past, most of the people who were framed were weak and unable to protect themselves. No matter how much the sufferer cried out for injustice, it was useless.

To put it bluntly, if this young man is just the young city lord of Xiaohanshan City, he will be wronged if he is wronged, and the problem is not too big.

Now when it comes to Chongxianmen all of a sudden, he doesn't want to go against such a big martial arts faction.

Thus, the gavel patted: "The witnesses and physical evidence in this case are not clear for the time being. Come on, let the suspect go, and if there are new evidences in the future, we will make a decision."

His own yamen servant came forward to loosen the shackle for Shi Hao.Qiu Jiangping said anxiously: "My lord..."

Shi Yujun glanced at him: "This case is closed, don't talk about it again." Although he didn't know what personal enmity the local six schools had with this young man, he didn't want to get involved somehow.

Qiu Jiangping had no choice but to back down.

-

Shi Hao followed Taoist Lanke outside, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, senior."

Daoist Lanke brushed his short beard and said with a smile: "Don't thank me. My niece said that if you hadn't rescued her from the devil's hands, she would have suffered misfortune. You saved my niece, and I helped her." You should too."

But it turned out that Taoist Lanke was also surnamed Du, and in the Chongxian Sect, he was Du Yuejiao's uncle, and in terms of blood relationship, he was actually her biological uncle.

Du Yuejiao looked at Shi Hao, and said in a low voice: "You were with me last night, why didn't you say it in class and let me testify for you?"

Shi Hao said: "This..."

Du Yuejiao glanced at him, softened her heart, and said in a low voice: "You man!" But she didn't know where she was thinking.

While talking, I saw Qiu Jiangping approaching.Shi Hao sneered, and went to meet Qiu Jiangping instead.

Qiu Jiangping's eyes were bright, but he put on a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Shi is the disciple of Master Lan Ke of the Chongxian sect. You really are disrespectful, disrespectful!"

Shi Hao said with a faint smile: "The chief arrester is being polite!"

Qiu Jiangping stared at him: "Today's incident was a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Master. If you and I can settle the past, in the future, you will be able to help me with my six doors." .”

Shi Hao smiled and said: "It's easy to say! Easy to say!"

The two sides cupped their hands without smiling, and Qiu Jiangping turned and left.

Shi Hao returned to Taoist Lanke and Du Yuejiao.

Du Yuejiao frowned, and said in doubt: "Six Doors doesn't go to catch those real villains, so that's all. Why did they come to catch you?"

Shi Hao sneered: "That arrester named Yuan Jia is the supernatural being I met in the mountains yesterday."

Du Yuejiao's expression changed: "But that person with supernatural powers is in the same group as those thieves who robbed and sold children! Could it be that..."

Chapter 24 This case is not simple

Shi Hao said: "Yuan Jia and I ran into each other last night, since he is a member of the Six Doors, he naturally has a way to find out my identity through my appearance.

"The most important thing is that they don't know how much I know. They think that since I can follow up to that kind of place, I must have a deep understanding of their evil deeds behind the scenes, so they jump over the wall in a hurry and want to strike first. , come to a wicked person to file a complaint first."

Du Yuejiao said angrily: "These people are too hateful."

Taoist Lanke brushed his beard and said: "The way of the six sects has always been like this. They have power in their hands, and they are naturally used to using this power to do evil. It is their habit to frame things and frame them as robbers. Tricks can indeed solve most problems."

Du Yuejiao said worriedly: "These people can't be clear, I'm afraid they will come to the dark again."

Looking at Taoist Lanke: "Uncle, how about letting Brother Shi live in Mingkunguan? No matter how daring those people are, they dare not go to Mingkunguan to make trouble."

Taoist Lanke said with a smile: "It's rare that you are so worried about a person. Since I told the outside world that he is my external disciple, there is no problem in bringing him back to meditation."

Shi Hao pretended to hesitate: "This..."

If you want to find out the truth behind the "Fengshen" experiment, the best way is naturally to enter the Mingkun Temple.

There is a saying that "if you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch the tiger's cubs", from this point of view, the persecution of him by the local six sects has actually helped him.

But he naturally had to pretend to hesitate.

Du Yuejiao pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother Shi, just listen to me this time, you live in Mingkun temple, these guys dare not play ghosts in secret."

Shi Hao made a thoughtful look, and then nodded: "Alright, but I have to go to the Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce, and I have to go back to get some things."

Du Yuejiao happily said: "I'll go with you!"

Taoist Lanke said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you, I'll go back to the temple first!" With a wave of whisk, he turned and walked away.

Shi Hao and Du Yuejiao were walking on the road together. On the way, Shi Hao said slowly: "Just now in the yamen, thank you, Miss Du... Thank you, Yuejiao, for helping me. It's just that this will inevitably affect your family. Honestly, it really makes me feel bad."

Du Yuejiao lowered his head, and said softly: "If it wasn't for you, Brother Shi, to save me, my life would be gone, so how could there be any innocence? Brother Shi, you are an upright gentleman. Brother Master, you have earned your reputation."

Shi Hao said with a smile: "I'm a big man, what's so scary? It's true that I've got you involved."

All the way to the clubhouse of Yuanrong Chamber of Commerce, and entering the inner room, Deng Liang came out to welcome him: "Brother Hao, as long as you are fine."

Shi Hao smiled and said, "It was you who secretly informed the merchants and gentry in this county, so that so many people went to watch the fun?"

Deng Liang laughed and said, "I'm just worried that those guys from Six Doors won't do good things, so they made some rumors."

Pulling Shi Hao aside, looking back at Du Yuejiao, he let out a strange low laugh: "Brother Hao, you are really amazing, even you... Brother Hao, you can do it!"

Seeing this guy winking, Shi Hao couldn't help but think of his evaluation of Du Yuejiao.

——"Don't look at her pretty, but she has such a temperament that she is as proud as a fairy in the sky, and she can't say anything sharply."

—— "In my opinion, if anyone marries that girl, it will definitely be retribution in this life for having committed evil in eight lifetimes."

He shook his head in a funny way, grabbed Deng Liang, walked up to Du Yuejiao, and said: "Yuejiao, Deng Liang is my good brother, he is the young master here, and also the young master of Jinjinyinxiuzhai, Jinjinyinxiuzhai. The finest brocades in the county are basically made by his family, you should have seen them before, right?"

Du Yuejiao put both hands on his left waist, and obediently and quietly gave a blessing ceremony: "Brother Deng, you are being polite, little girl!"

Deng Liang was flattered: "Hi sister-in-law! Hello sister-in-law!"

Du Yuejiao's face turned red, but she didn't say anything.

Chatted here with Deng Liang for a while, and then left.Deng Liang sent them to the door, only to see that Miss Du, who was always arrogant, turned around with Shi Hao and gave a salute before leaving. He couldn't help sighing: "You really deserve to be Brother Hao, such a mean tigress can't stand it." can be tamed."

-

Shi Hao went back to the house to pick up some things, then he hired a carriage and followed Du Yuejiao to Mingkun Temple.

Entering the Mingkun Temple, Du Yuejiao took him to a side hall, where he saw that there were gardens full of flowers and plants, all kinds of medicinal materials, and many elixir chambers, all filled with green smoke.

In the distance, there is also a large bronze hall. The entire hall is cylindrical, with an octagonal roof on the top. There are faint clanging and metal collision sounds in the hall, and I don't know what it is.

Du Yuejiao said: "Uncle is one of the Twelve Perfect Truths of my Chongxian Sect, and he is best at casting treasures and pills and stones. Most of the god crystals obtained in Taoist temples in various places are sent here, please Uncle helped to forge magic weapons. There are also many panacea medicines, all of which are from uncle's hands."

Entering a alchemy room, I saw Taoist Lanke busy in the alchemy room.

He sorted all kinds of medicinal materials into each other and put them into the steaming medicine cauldron in order.

The hot air gushed out, Shi Hao and Du Yuejiao stood at the door, both felt a little unbearable, he stood in this steamer-like hot air, and didn't take it seriously.

Du Yuejiao called out: "Uncle! Brother Shi is here."

Taoist Lanke didn't even look back: "Okay! Okay! Let him stay in this yard and find an empty room by himself."
