Tao Zang Xuan Zhi
Chapter 8
Mu Xiaochuan looked at Zhong Wanling in confusion. Apart from chanting Buddha's name for them and comforting the heavenly spirits, what else can they do?
The older woman uncovered the brocade handkerchief covering the corpse's face. When she saw the miserable face, she let out a cry of despair and fainted. Several young girls around him could only helplessly hold the fainting woman and make love with her in tears.
Zhong Wanling looked at them with a determined light in his eyes."We can still help them redress their grievances. We must help her redress her grievances and avenge her."
Mu Xiaochuan glanced at the women sympathetically and lowered his clasped hands."What are junior sisters going to do?"
Zhong Wanling glanced at the unconscious tattooed man on the ground."Senior brother will escort them back first, and then take this person back to the branch to take care of him. I will make a decision after I come back.""
"Why don't you send it to the Yamen or the City Patrol Department?"
Zhong Wanling shook his head."The amulet can't last for a few hours. Those minions have probably been released from the ban and rushed back to report the news. Soon Li Guan and the murderer will know that we have found the body. Although the murderer is not Li Guan, the son of the Minister cannot be easily touched. If this person is placed in the government, I am afraid that this person will not see the sun tomorrow."
Mu Xiaochuan nodded.
Zhong Wanling took a deep look at the women not far away and said,"Let them wait for a while and then persuade them to leave."As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and said,"Don't let them go back to Lefang tonight. Find a place for them near the branch pavilion. A lot of money was given to Lefang, saying that these girls were invited by the Zhang family in the east of the city to accompany them to a banquet."
Mu Xiaochuan nodded and accepted the money. Seeing that Zhong Wanling was about to leave, he quickly asked:"Where are you going, junior sister?"
Zhong Wanling raised his head and glanced at the gloomy sky, and said coldly:"Shen Mansion."
Mu Xiaochuan was shocked and stopped Zhong Wanling in shock.
Zhong Wanling smiled coldly and brushed Mu Xiaochuan's hand away."Don't worry, I won't kill him.
It would be too cheap for him to die like this."
Zhong Wanling returned to the city on Cloud Steps and rented a horse. He rode lightly all the way through the city to the east of the city. Shen's residence was in Changlefang in the east of the city, which was in the same neighborhood as Zhong Wanling's uncle Zhang Xu's residence. Zhong Wanling found the place easily..The environment of Changle Lane is very good, with clear and clear willows and tall walls, thousands of lights and blue clouds. The master of the Shen family, Shen Fuchang, is worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In Changle Lane, where every inch of land is worth every penny, there are rich and powerful people everywhere. In front of the Shen Mansion There is actually a large ashram, facing the intersection, with the Watergate Pier on one side and the street archway on the other. There is also a tea pavilion not far away, and two high-level mansions are adjacent to it. It's just a little strange today. It's usually closed. The door of Shen's Mansion was actually wide open at this time. Several people who looked like doormen were standing on the dojo in front of Shen's Mansion, looking around, as if they were anxiously waiting for something. As soon as
Zhong Wanling got off his horse, a doorman came up to him. He asked eagerly:"Do you dare to ask whether this young master is the immortal master of Shangqing Sect?"
Zhong Wan Lingxin said: Those little minions may not have returned to the city at this time. Why is it that the Shen family is better informed than that good-for-nothing little prince? He bowed calmly:"Exactly."
Before he finished speaking, the doorman rushed Zhong Wanling into the house and said overjoyed:"I've been waiting for you, little one. Come in quickly, this way. Your brothers and sisters are waiting for you!"
Zhong Wanling was surprised in his heart. With a calm face, he slowly followed the doorman into Shen's Mansion. As soon as
Zhong Wanling entered Shen's Mansion, several other doormen hurriedly closed the door. A middle-aged man who looked like a manager came to greet him. He came up, paid a brief visit, and then led Zhong Wanling through the side hall and walked quickly to the back."Master Immortal, please come this way, please quickly."
This minister of household affairs seems to have a very prosperous official career. A minister's mansion is actually built with three courtyards. The vestibule is simple and grand. In the middle, there is a Huangshan rockery screen of Taihu Rock with welcoming pines. It is majestic; the atrium is divided into three small ones. In the courtyard, the winding water drinking glass changes the scene as you step by step. The steward leads Zhong Wanling and walks quickly through the middle courtyard. Just a quick glance can also be seen that the pavilions are exquisite, and there are many bonsai flowers among them, all of which are precious and well-groomed. Excellent.
Before they entered the back courtyard, they heard a loud explosion, and for a moment, sand and rocks were flying, and smoke and dust billowed.
Zhong Wanling keenly felt a fierce energy coming straight towards the two of them, and she turned the steward in front of her to the side. With a pull, he jumped more than ten feet sideways. Unexpectedly, the person who came was not good, and a strong wind came back to chase him. Zhong Wanling grabbed the steward, turned around, and jumped to the top of a pavilion. The strong wind immediately chased him and cut off a corner of the pavilion. I saw a brown-skinned hunchbacked monster shaped like a pangolin with slender front paws, rushing out of the smoke and heading towards the two of them. Zhong Wanling got lucky and dodged the monster's claws sideways, and pushed out with a palm, and the monster was pushed out by the wind of his palm. A piece of tile was dragged down and fell straight to the ground with a loud bang.
"Master!"The steward screamed and pushed Zhong Wanling away. His feet slipped and he fell off the top of the pavilion holding his head.
Two more figures flashed out of the inner courtyard.
"Senior Sister Zhong! ?"The two people jumped up to the top of the pavilion. They were Zhong Wanling's classmates, Yan Zizheng and Shen Yifan, senior disciples of the Lin'an Branch of the Shangqing Sect.
"what happened? Zhong Wanling asked.
Yan Zizheng quickly explained:"That is the young master of this family. I don't know what kind of monster has taken possession of him. Master Shen entrusted the Shangqing Sect to dispel the evil and cure the disease." But this monster is so powerful that it not only turned Master Shen's body into a monster, but even the combined efforts of the four of us junior brothers were unable to dispel the evil.
Zhong Wanling snorted coldly:"Dispelling evil?" Is this still a person? You can really imagine how to ward off evil spirits from a monster."
Yan Zizheng and Shen Yifan looked embarrassed. Just as they didn't know how to explain, another shout came from the inner court:"Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Shen! Are you okay?"The three of them looked down and saw a short boy carrying another man wearing a Taoist robe, limping out of the inner courtyard. It was Liang You and Huang Haike. The three of them jumped off the top of the pavilion to meet the two.
"Senior Sister Zhong?!"Liang You and Huang Haike were also surprised by Zhong Wanling's arrival.
Zhong Wanling briefly checked Huang Haike's injuries. Fortunately, Huang Haike was also a high-level disciple. Some of the body protection was not serious, but his foot was twisted and it was inconvenient to move. Zhong Wanling took out the ointment and asked Yan Zizheng to apply it to Huang Haike's bone setting.
Liang You looked at several senior brothers and sisters and asked weakly:"What should we do now?"
The four of them, Yan Zizheng, were afraid of being intimidated by the spirit of the bell and did not dare to act easily.
"Eliminate demons and defend the Way."Zhong Wanling said coldly.
That's the client's son!
The four of them just wanted to stop them, but they heard a roar from the atrium. A brown figure came towards the five of them as fast as lightning.
Yan Zizheng couldn't bandage Huang Haike, so he had to fight Following him, he dodged and entered the inner courtyard to take shelter temporarily. Zhong Wanling threw out three yellow talismans and flew across the clouds, hitting his head with a palm. Shen Chenggong was disturbed by the immobilizing talisman and could not dodge. He received the palm and made a sound like a beast. He whined, but was unscathed. Liang You and Shen Yifan drew their swords to respond, attacking from the left and right, but they only scratched his clothes and left two scratches on his brown skin, not even blood.
Shen Chenggong He received three blows in a row. Although he was not injured at all, he was still in pain. He shouted angrily:"How dare you dare to hurt this young master! See if I don’t tear you apart!"But he couldn't break free from the three yellow talismans attached to his body. He could only roar like a wild beast.
"Can this also call someone?"Zhong Wanling narrowed his eyes and said angrily.
Shen Yifan and Liang You were on guard with their swords. Shen Yifan advised:"If Mr. Shen is just possessed by a monster, if we kill him, it will be a taboo of the Immortal Alliance. Zhong
Wanling retorted coldly:"If the person possessed kills living beings and harms the common people, he can also be killed." Moreover, he is clearly conscious. Rather than possessing a body, it is better to say that he has become a demon."
Shen Yifan actually thought about this possibility, but the other party was the son of a minister, and he really didn't dare to make a decision. Yan Zizheng briefly treated Huang Haike's injuries, and the two of them also drew their swords and came to help. They happened to hear This paragraph.
While blessing the spell, Zhong Wanling told the truth about the two days of investigation:"I accepted the Lefang's commission to find the person, and just found the body of the girl who died tragically, and the murderer is this person! Even if he is occupying his body, he will still deserve to die!"
Yan Zizheng and the other four were all shocked when they heard this."Sister, is it true?! Zhong
Wanling stared at Shen Chenggong and replied angrily:"That girl died extremely tragically. Now the body should be in the branch. You can go back and see it." Such a cruel act cannot be done by humans, it is simply an act of animals! Although Shen
Chenggong couldn't move, he laughed wildly when he heard this:"I wonder who you are for, it turns out to be that cheap maid!" I killed her, so what? That's just a prostitute who can do whatever she wants!"
These words confirmed Zhong Wanling's words, and Yan Zizheng and the other four showed angry expressions on their faces, especially Liang You. Although Liang You was a dandy from an aristocratic family, he was a compassionate person. When he heard that the girl was killed, his blood suddenly boiled. Yong, he drew his sword and stabbed, but when the sword reached his chest, he heard a"clang" sound, and the sword was bent due to the pressure, and it couldn't penetrate into Shen Chenggong's flesh. Liang You cursed"Grass" and swung the sword to chop again. , but the sword blade was stuck on Shen Chenggong's shoulder, and he couldn't cut it.
Shen Chenggong looked up to the sky and laughed:"Hahaha, you people claim to be gods, but in fact you are not as good as Brother Gao Ming's elixir! I have never practiced, but you can't hurt me at all. What's this? This is talent! I am the chosen one!"
"You are a monster and worthy of being called the Chosen One!"Liang You was furious and cursed, but his sword could not penetrate Shen Chenggong's body at all, and he grinded his teeth with hatred.
Shen Chenggong became more and more proud and laughed louder.
Zhong Wanling was also angry and anxious. She could only trap the person, but It was difficult to hurt him at all, and with the combined strength of a few of them, it was impossible to take him away without knocking him down, let alone teach this beast a lesson. It would be difficult to vent her hatred.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the atrium, and someone Shouted:"Master, here!" quick!"
After a while, the steward led a short, fat man in Chinese clothes and ran over panting. The person who came was none other than Shen Fuchang, the head of Shen Mansion. Shen Fuchang stepped forward, blocked in front of Shen Chenggong, and pointed Zhong Wanling and others cursed angrily:"How dare these bold and unscrupulous people commit murder in Shangshu Mansion! Is there any more royal method! ?"
Shen Chenggong immediately shouted aggrievedly:"Dad! They want to kill me!"Paired with his brown-skinned and sharp-clawed appearance, it's really hard to feel sorry for.
But others find it scary and disgusting, but not as a parent. Shen Fuchang hurriedly opened his arms and protected Shen Chenggong tightly. Behind him, he saw Yan Zizheng at a glance. Isn't this the Shangqing Sect monk who took over his commission two hours ago?
Shen Fuchang was immediately furious:"You demons, I invite you to come and help my son." Treat the disease, but you want to kill my son! Is this the way you Shangqing Sect does things? ?"
The four of them, Yan Zizheng, were confused. This master has a high position, and they are just disciples. They cannot afford to offend easily. This may bring harm to the Shangqing Sect.
Zhong Wanling has long been used to seeing powerful officials, but he He said calmly:"Mr. Shen, he is not your son. The son has been possessed by a monster, and what is inside his body is not a human at all but a monster! You must not be confused by it!"
When Shen Fuchang heard that it was a demon, his expression was shaken. His back trembled, and he couldn't help but take a step to the side and glanced warily at his son behind him.
Shen Chenggong quickly cried:"Dad! Don't listen to their nonsense! They just want to lie to you and then kill my son! Dad, don’t be fooled! Shen
Fuchang calmed down and while protecting Shen Chenggong, he cursed:"You monster, don't talk nonsense!" This is clearly my son! You are incompetent and cannot cure my son, so you want to kill and silence me! What a vicious thought! Zhong
Wanling argued with reason:"Mr. Shen, look back. Doesn't that person behind you look like a human being?" The demonic transformation has reached this point and is beyond redemption. Moreover, this demon is also the murderer of a murder case. If you kill someone to pay for your life, please ask Mr. Shen to hand over this demon!"
"What a hopeless thing! You are obviously incompetent! Shen Fuchang was furious,"What other murder case?"! How could my son kill someone? She is just a lowly prostitute, she will die if she dies, what does it have to do with my son!"Zhong Wanling's eyes twitched, suppressing his anger. Just when he was about to persuade him again, Mr. Shen already shouted angrily:"Get out! Get out of here! You trash! If you can’t cure it, someone will naturally cure it! Don't even think about taking advantage of my son! Someone come! Get them all out!"
The servants of Shen's house immediately obeyed the order and surrounded them.
Zhong Wanling looked at the servants who had gathered around him and knew that it would be difficult to move Shen Chenggong like this. He made a prompt decision and held up his hands and said:"We can ignore your son's affairs, but harboring monsters is a serious crime. We should report this to the imperial court, and hope that Mr. Shen will take good care of himself."After saying that, he winked at Yan Zizheng and others, and the five of them clasped their fists together to say goodbye.
The five of them left the Shen Mansion.
Although the five of them had just joined forces to control the demon, the four of them, Yan Zizheng, were still confused about this matter.
"Senior Sister Zhong, what on earth is going on?" Yan Zizheng still couldn't help but ask questions.
Zhong Wanling led the five people around the city while recounting what they had seen and heard in the past two days.
The four people were all sighing when they heard the words, and Liang You was the most indignant.
"But is Senior Sister too arbitrary? There is no substantial evidence to prove that Mr. Shen killed the man. Before Zhong
Wanling could speak, Liang You interrupted angrily:"Young Master Shen, is he worthy?" And didn’t he admit it himself? Treating women like this and taking it so naturally is such a beast! But senior sister, can this be the end of it? Just let that beast go!"Liang You was angry and regretful, hating that he was powerless and could not kill Shen Chenggong just now.
"Junior Brother Liang is obviously a young man who spends a lot of time and alcohol, but he is more compassionate than anyone else. Yan Zizheng laughed, but was still worried,"But the other party is the minister after all. If he doesn't handle it well, it will cause trouble for the pavilion."
Liang You said angrily:"Then just let it go?" Where is justice? Where is the way of heaven?!"
Shen Yifan patted Liang You on the shoulder and comforted:"Senior Brother Yan means that if we can't win it in one fell swoop, this matter will most likely be suppressed and left unanswered, and Shen Fuchang will definitely take revenge afterwards. This is not unreasonable."Compared with this, Shen Yifan is worried about other things,"But, Senior Sister Zhong, is it really okay for us to go like this?"
"What?"
"I mean, if the imperial court really takes action, it won't involve the pavilion, but aren't we just alerting the enemy? If they sent Shen Chenggong away overnight, or if Shen Fuchang exerted pressure in his capacity as minister, this matter would probably go unsolved."He Shen Yifan doesn't believe in these bureaucrats.
Zhong Wanling looked forward. She didn't believe in the bureaucrats either. Although she thought her uncle was a good official, she was not naive enough to think that she could take down the leader with just these things.
Calm down. Thinking about it, what she just did in a moment of righteous indignation was indeed too hasty. But now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in regretting it. What's more, they don't have no chance of winning.
"Therefore, we must prepare well."
Zhong Wanling looked to the east. At this time, Mu Xiaochuan should have settled the Ren sisters.
She had to think carefully about her chess and the opponent's chess. She wanted to control every step.
