Chapter 178 - Nine ileum 10
Feiyun Temple is located to the west of Nanshan outside the city. It looks elegant and elegant. The main hall enshrines the Sanqing Tianzun, but because the wealthy people in the capital now believe in Buddhism, except before and after the New Year, almost inside the temple No pilgrims.
The Taoist Master Xuan Qing was over half a hundred years old. When Wu Xiang brought the yamen to the temple, Xuan Qing was meditating and practicing. Seeing the people coming from the Yamen, the little Taoist priests were quite panicked. The Taoist Xuanqing had a calm expression.
But when Wu Xiang asked about the Taoist priest who was expelled from the Taoist temple last year, Taoist Xuanqing’s face changed slightly.
Wu Xiang saw clearly, “Daoist, why was this person expelled from Taoist temple?”
Xuan Qing Dao’s long brows were twisted, and his robe made him feel a bit of a fairy style. He tossed his sleeves, “This person has left Feiyun Guan, and any incidents after that have nothing to do with the people in Guan.”
Wu Xiang was a little helpless, “The Chief Taoist can rest assured that the government office will not implicate anyone casually. Now he suspects that this person is related to a murder case.
Only then did Xuan Qing look loose, and invited Wu Xiang to sit down in the tea room. When he opened his mouth, Dao Master Xuan Qing still had a sorrowful tone, “His popular name is Li Shen, and his name is Xuan Ling. He is twelve years younger than Pan Dao. He is He was picked up by the master at the age of seven or eight. Because of his frailty, he was taken care of by the master. But he didn’t learn well since he was a child. He even went back to the Taoist temple for a few years later. He even likes to practice Taoism, but he has gone into evil ways, often using legal ceremonies to defraud money, and privately accepting disciples.”
Dao Xuanqing sighed, “When the master was there, he had a lot of shelter, and he also hid him and didn’t dare to make troubles, but when the previous year master left, he became more arrogant and the apprentices did not teach orthodoxy. The doctor of the mountain had a fate, and instead taught some strange scriptures. Later, his apprentice caused an accident outside and almost killed his life. Only then did the poor Dao decide to expel him from the contemplation.”
After all, Daoist Xuanqing looked at Wu Xiang, “Did he use tricks to deceive people again?”
Wu Xiang shook his head and asked him, “What kind of trick did he use to deceive people before?”
“Someone came to the door with an intractable disease. He made a spiritual pill and sold him at a high price. Later, he almost killed someone. Others came to the Taoist temple to ask for an explanation, but he left for two months and returned only after the limelight passed. .”
The old Daoist pointed to the deserted temple outside, “I have seen the head catcher. There are dozens of people in this Taoist temple who need rations. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer pilgrims in the temple. These people are always going to survive. He almost killed him. Human lives, and it’s rare to persuade me to return to the right way, I just want to be in the teacher’s friendship, and I can’t tolerate him.”
Taoist alchemy is nothing, but most of the pills are harmful and not beneficial. Li Shen used this method to cheat money and almost killed his life. No wonder he would be expelled from Taoist temple. Since this person was not right, Wu Xiang became more suspicious.
Wu Xiang said, “The Daoist said he is weak and sickly, but does he have a hidden illness?”
At this point, Xuan Qing Dao sighed, “He was indeed sick. It was the two years when he was in his twenties. He came back two years after leaving the Taoist temple. When he came back, he became ill. Master pityed him and kept him. After two years of cultivation in the Taoist temple, he got better. His illness was very strange and could not be hurt. If there was a small wound, he would bleed uncontrollably. On weekdays–“
“Is it bloody?” Wu Xiang couldn’t help asking before Dao Xuan Qing finished speaking.
Taoist Xuanqing was a little surprised, and then nodded, “It is precisely this disease. The channel master’s medical skills is equivalent to his master’s hand. It is just that the disease cannot be cured. The older you get, the more difficult it will be to endure.”
Wu Xiang had a pair of sharp eyes, “Dare to ask Master if he knows the art of death?”
“The technique of death?” Xuan Qing said with a sullen face, “Hold the head and ask what this is doing? This technique of death is not the right way, and it is extremely dangerous. Only a liar can use this method to deceive people.”
Wu Xiang asked hurriedly: “Li Shen can use this method to deceive people?”
Xuan Qing sighed again, “Probably he was deceived. He deceived gold and silver everywhere, saying that his spirit pill and spells were magical, and the lie like death was even more open. Many people thought that he followed him in cultivating the Taoism. Then he can reborn and become immortal, so he does not hesitate to spend a lot of money, but what he teaches is only the five tricks of the Taoist school…”
“Do you know the whereabouts of this person?”
Xuan Qing frowned, “I don’t know this. He was driven out by me, with resentment in his heart, and his reputation has been ruined, I am afraid that he has already left the capital and went outside to swindle and abduct him.”
The two were talking in the tea room, and a few little Taoist priests at the door were rustling eavesdropping. At this time, one of them couldn’t help but say, “Master, Master hasn’t left the capital. A month ago, someone met on the bank of the Luohe River. Pass him.”
Looking at the little Taoist priest of the Xuan Qing Dynasty, Wu Xiang got up and walked to the door, “Who has seen it? Maybe someone can be found?”
The little Taoist who had seen Li Shen was quickly found. Wu Xiang asked carefully, only to realize that someone had actually seen Li Shen, and he asked about Li Shen’s appearance, his stature and body shape were almost the same as Zhang Duo’s description, Wu Xiang can’t help but be overjoyed! This Li Shen’s suspicion is getting more and more serious!
Asked about this person’s age and life, Wu Xiang even found a master who could paint and painted Li Shen’s appearance. He was delayed for more than half a day at Feiyun Temple before returning to the capital and returning to Yamen. Bo Ruoyou happened to be there. .
Nothing happened in the day. Bo Ruoyou went to the yamen to check the files, and found out more than ten cases related to young children one by one. He finally found that there were two suspicious cases in the last five years. See Wu When Xiang came back, Bo Ruoyou naturally listened to him first.
“There was indeed a Taoist priest who was driven out last year. This person suffered from blood disease, but the symptoms were not rapid. With years of diagnosis and treatment, his condition was temporarily stabilized. He is 42 years old now. Seventeen years ago, he had Two years have passed, and he returned to Taoist temple 15 years ago. If he was the murderer, then it is very likely that he was responsible for the case of the Ming family 14 years ago.”
Wu Xiang told the old saying that he was not righteous, and Bo Ruo faintly heard Wu Tong Mingcan, “I never thought I would get something! Since someone has seen him and now has a portrait, then go to Xiangguo Temple Shanxia Town. Go up and ask, surely, you can also find the old man who sold the mask and ask, he might still remember.”
Wu Xiang was also full of hope, “I plan to use all the people in the yamen to touch the row, that is, to dig the town three feet away, and I will find this person.”
Bo Ruoyou glanced at the thick stack of files that Nekuli had taken out, “Since this is the case, you don’t have to look for clues from the files. You can save yourself a little in the past few days—”
Wu Xiang should be, Hu Changqing and the officials also breathed a sigh of relief. At the end of the year, there were a lot of affairs in the yamen. The case was also very important because of life. Therefore, when everyone has almost no rest, they are now in the Feiyun Temple. For important clues, everyone was relieved.
Wu Xiang dispatched staff by himself, and Bo Ruoyou left the yamen. Feiyunguan was what the loyal uncle said. Bo Ruoyou thought for a while and drove to the Hou Mansion to inform Huo Wei Building of the progress of the case.
The carriage traveled round and round, the snow in the past few days had half-melted, and the cold wind on the face was a bit biting, and as soon as the carriage arrived in front of the Houfu gate, Bo Ruoyou saw that Huo Weilou was coming out of the mansion gate. , Wanting to get away in the car, she hurriedly called people out.
Huo Weilou heard the sound, and Bo Ruoyou got out of the carriage and asked, “Where is Lord Hou going?”
“Go to Xiangguo Temple——”
Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, and Huo Weilou continued: “Today’s Buddha’s birthday, you must know that Shicai Hong’er sent someone back to Beijing, saying that there was something wrong with the Buddha treasure offered by your majesty today, and I went to rescue him.”
