Chapter 283 Jiang Fugui will come out
Chapter 283 Jiang Fugui will come out
Chi Tianzun’s physical body became holy, and with just a light tap, Xie Yunan became prominent.
She walked to the corner and turned her back, only hearing the sound of water splashing behind her and the conversation between her two uncle masters.
“Your feet are so big, I can hardly hold them with both hands.”
“No matter how hard you squeeze, you can’t break my skin.”
“Humph! I haven’t used my full strength yet. If I had, I would have crushed your big feet into mud. If I had known that we were in the immortal land, I would have beaten you a few more times. Now you only know how to bully me.”
“Tsk, if you’re willing to admit defeat, how can you say I bullied you?”
“You must be cheating!”
A quarter of an hour later, the sound of water disappeared and Xie Yunnan was able to turn around. At this time, Gu Wen put on his shoes. Chi Yuzi raised his hand and waved the water in the basin, which turned into a ball of white mist and floated out of the room.
Then, she looked at Xie Yunan and asked, “Girl, why do you follow us around every day?”
“…”
It’s you who have been making a lot of noise.
Xie Yunan did not dare to talk back, and bowed his hands and said, “Master uncle’s divine power shines on the earth, and I naturally cannot ignore it. I came here today to report something.”
“what’s up?”
“Uncle Master, please order the arrest of the Jiang family. The Jiang family colluded with evil cultivators and practiced cannibalism.”
Hearing this, Chi Yuzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Our Jade Purity Heavenly Lord loves the Jiang family very much. Those officials in the Zhenwu Palace dare not report to us on their own initiative. How dare you, a small inspector, report to us over the head?”
Gu Wen glanced at Chi Yuzi, and he naturally understood the hidden meaning.
I secretly took note of this in my heart, thinking that she was being sarcastic, and I would find a reason to teach her a lesson next time.
“Be careful of our Jade Purity Celestial Lord. You will be dismissed from your post.”
“Master said that a swordsman must be straight, and would rather bend than yield.”
Xie Yunan was not frightened. He took out a bloodstained cloth bag and said, “Here is the evidence I collected. Although there is no confession, there is all physical evidence.”
“According to our Inspector’s statistics, the Jiang family kidnaps hundreds of babies from all over Danqingzhou every year and incites tens of thousands of people to commit suicide…”
In the middle of the conversation, Akabane interrupted with a wave of his hand: “Okay, okay, there’s no need to repeat these things, so as to save me from being upset. We already know about the Jiang family’s affairs. Do you really think we are unreasonable people?”
Moreover, the Jiang family had been indebted to Gu Wen, and they would not feel good to hear that their old friend had done evil.
Akabane glanced at Gu Wen and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was still calm and composed.
This disciple of Xiao Mutou is also a wooden man.
“There is always a culprit for everything. We need to investigate who gave the Jiang family the evil power. Now is not the time to close the net. You rushing over here in such a hurry, aren’t you alerting the enemy?”
“…”
Xie Yunan was speechless and said with some shame: “I was reckless. In fact, Zhenwu Palace did not respond at all and withdrew all the inspectors. Even their missions were cancelled.”
This is the first time so far that an inspector has discovered a problem and the mission was canceled.
This is no less than a person who has been sentenced but is still allowed to touch girls in a brothel.
At this time, Gu Wen had already started rummaging through the cloth bag, inside of which was a rusty token, ten palm-sized ceramic bottles, and a talisman paper containing a residual soul.
The word “Tian” was written on the token. When the bottle was opened, a strong smell of blood could be smelled, which should be of the same nature as the blood that was provided to Jiang Fugui.
Incense, Buddha’s light, blood, etc. are all energies mixed with spiritual energy, each with different uses and effects.
“what are these?”
“The residual soul and token of the disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”
Xie Yunnan recounted how he received an evacuation order from the Zhenwu Palace five days ago, and was attacked and killed by disciples of the Tianmo Sect on the way.
After obtaining solid evidence, she was unwilling to leave, and without support from the Zhenwu Palace, she had to take the risk and come to find Gu Wen and the others.
“You are also a blockhead.” Akabane glared at him and said, “In the future, when you encounter such things, just listen to your elders. Why are you, a Yuanying stage junior, interfering? There are so many injustices in this world. Can you take care of them all?”
Xie Yunan replied righteously: “I am a young man who is paid to serve the people of the world.”
“With that salary you earn, can you afford a meal of Nine Revolutions Golden Pill stewed with pig’s trotters?”
“…”
Xie Yunan was speechless, and Chi Yuzi taught her a lesson: “You are extremely talented, and your future Dao realm is a foregone conclusion. Why can’t you wait until you grow up and then seek justice?”
“…Those who cannot be saved now, even if you become a powerful person in the future, you will not be able to save them.”
Xie Yunnan muttered something in a low voice, her voice was not loud, but Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi heard it clearly.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
Then Akabane raised his hand high, his eyes were cold, and a breath leaked out that made Xie Yunnan’s body tremble uncontrollably. She closed her eyes and raised her hand to block it.
The slap did not fall for a long time. Xie Yunan opened her eyes and saw Gu Wen grabbed Chi Yuzi’s wrist.
Zhou Zheng’s peaceful face revealed a smile, and he said, “You’ve already started to teach me a lesson. You were acting like a woman just now.”
Such a description made Akabane’s eyes darken with anger. If she had let anyone else do this, they would have been beaten to death by her.
But when facing Gu Wen, she just rolled her eyes.
“You are the only good person, I will take all the blame for you.”
Gu Wen shook his head and said, “You care too much about my feelings. I don’t think there is anything wrong with what you said.”
He felt that he should find some other hobbies for Akabane to divert her attention, otherwise she would always focus on him, just like a housewife.
“Humph! I will never speak up for you again.”
Akabane broke free from her restraints and turned away angrily.
Xie Yunnan didn’t know what had happened, but she was still a little scared.
Gu Wen comforted him, “Your uncle Chi has her period recently and is a little impatient. You just need to stop provoking her.”
“Oh……”
Xie Yunnan nodded, but did not realize that Tiankui did not exist for cultivators. She just thought that Uncle Gu was really gentle and elegant.
Gu Wen said: “You did a good job. I just happen to need some traces of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and I also need someone to investigate.”
Xie Yunan immediately said, “Uncle Master, please leave it to me! Although my cultivation is not high, I am proficient in detecting and finding evil. I will definitely be able to find the evil cultivator hiding in the dark for you.”
The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the spiritual power and the stronger the detection ability.
But the world is too vast, and the cultivators’ spiritual thoughts cannot reach its end, so it is difficult to be silent.
Gu Wen’s spiritual power can span tens of millions of miles and he can overlook an area of hundreds of miles, but when he wants to see every person, every grain of sand, and every hider in detail, the noise will be very loud.
And would the ancestor of the Demonic Sect be within a thousand miles of him?
He looks down on the minions.
“Very good. I like young people like you. I will rely on you in the future.”
Gu Wen stood up and patted Xie Yunnan’s 1.8-meter-tall shoulder. The latter looked excited, as if he had won the first place in the Tianxuan Conference.
You have to know that as the Sword Master’s direct disciple, the phrase she heard most often was ‘Brother Gu was so and so in the past’.
Other people’s masters always talked about their “prowess in the past”, while my own master kept talking about Gu Wen.
At first she was very unconvinced. Xiao Yunyi held up his broken arm and said: Back then, Brother Gu defeated me after practicing sword for half a year. Until today, this broken arm still cannot be reattached. The remaining sword intent on it is already comparable to half a fairy sword.
There is a sword ranking list in Zhejian Mountain, and the top of the list is his master’s severed arm.
Now that I have received praise from Uncle Gu, isn’t it equivalent to gaining the recognition of my master?
Gu Wen had no idea what the woman was thinking. He grabbed her hand and drew the word “sword” on it.
“I’ll leave you a method to deal with the enemy. It will be activated once you get hurt. During this period of time, you must avoid fighting with others at will.”
“understand!”
Xie Yunan nodded and said, “I still need to ask for help from Zhenwu Palace. In addition to on-site investigation, I also need to calculate the heavenly secrets to find the direction. I don’t know how to tell fortunes, so I usually ask for help from Zhenwu Palace.” “This matter should not be disclosed.”
Gu Wen glanced at Chi Yuzi, who shook his head and said, “You can wield swords and guns, but forget about fortune-telling. Can’t you, a saint, learn one now?”
“No, I am not in harmony with the heaven and earth, I am different, I do not exist.”
Gu Wen wanted to learn fortune-telling as early as when he became an immortal.
Counting with fingers and understanding yin and yang are essential skills for the old immortals.
But he could not calculate anything no matter what, not even the rainfall, because he was independent of heaven and earth and not part of the five elements.
He reached out his hand and pulled out a nun in white from the void.
“Can you tell fortunes?”
“Amitabha, Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, I know a little about it.”
“Very good. If you have any questions next time, just come and ask her.”
Xie Yunan quickly bowed and said, “May I know your name, senior?”
The Jade Sword Buddha replied: “My name is the Jade Sword Buddha.”
“what?”
Xie Yunnan blinked, glanced at Chi Yuzi, and then glanced at Gu Wen.
Uncle Gu is also a passionate man, and he even did not let the nun go.
Jade Sword Buddha had ceased to be active a hundred years ago, when she was not yet born. But Xie Yunan had heard of his name, the only monk who used Buddha as his Dharma name, and a master known as Buddha Tianzun.
There have been rumors recently that a Buddhist successor was taken away by Jade Pure Heavenly Venerable and gave birth to many descendants.
I think the rumor about giving birth to many offspring is true, but everything else is true.
The two exchanged some ideas and exchanged contact information.
It was not until noon that Xie Yunnan left the room and happened to meet Jiang Jucai.
“Jiang, I meet Inspector Xie.”
“I don’t deserve it. Today I am only here to present an invitation to Master.”
“For Master Wen? I didn’t expect that Sword Master and Master Wen knew each other. If I had known earlier, I would have visited Sword Master when I passed by Zhejian Mountain.”
Xie Yunnan nodded coldly and then left on her own.
Jiang Jucai looked at her back, his eyes slightly gloomy, and had some bad guesses in his mind.
He turned and walked into the attic, where he saw Gu Wen pruning a potted plant. A pretty girl with short hair was lying beside him, looking up with her hands folded on her pretty face.
The setting sun shines through the window onto their robes, revealing strands of golden threads. The breeze blows their hair, and they enjoy the good old days.
When Jiang Jucai thought of their identities and cultivation, he couldn’t help but feel envious.
Most powerful people are alone and have very few relatives and friends of the same generation. Even if they do, the relationship will become weak as time goes by.
Only Jiang Ju could see that Chi Tianzun loved Master Wen very much, a love that was pure and without any intention of currying favor.
Sometimes, Jiang Jucai would be glared at by her when he served tea and water at the dinner table and performed the required etiquette as a junior.
It would be great if I could meet such a good match…
“Leave nothing on the south, leave nothing on the north, leave nothing on the east, leave nothing on the west, remove the rough and keep the fine, remove the straight and keep the oblique…”
Gu Wen muttered a jingle as he kept cutting off the branches and leaves, leaving only a bare pole.
Akabane was stunned for a moment, then laughed like a goose.
Jiang Jucai took the opportunity to come forward and said, “Master Wen, this is Yulan Ningguang. She will die if you cut her like this.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the bare potted plants suddenly grew, sprouted new buds, stretched out branches, and bloomed.
A delicate fragrance spread, drifting ten miles around the Jiang family’s ancestral home.
Gu Wen picked one and placed it on Chi Yuzi’s head, saying calmly: “All things grow in order, and all living beings have their own order. Cultivation is to escape from this order.”
“I let it happen, and it will happen naturally.”
“…”
Jiang Jucai held his breath slightly, and an inexplicable sense of oppression arose in his heart.
“What are you doing here today? Has Fugui come out of seclusion?”
“Father will be released from confinement in a month.”
“Oh?”
Gu Wen became interested and asked, “Why are you so sure?”
Jiang Fugui’s release means that the Jiang family’s affairs will be exposed.
Even if he hadn’t come, someone from Dao Sect would definitely come to ask about it in a few decades. Because seclusion couldn’t last forever, Jiang Fugui had a system.
So what does Jiang Jucai want to do?
Jiang Jucai said confidently: “This is the seclusion period my father mentioned. If you haven’t come out yet, then there must be something wrong.”
“Then I’ll wait.”
Gu Wen continued to fiddle with the flower pots, and Jiang Jucai didn’t dare to disturb him, so he bowed and left.
Before leaving, he suddenly asked, “Master Wen, if my father did something evil one day, what would you do?”
Gu Wen answered without hesitation: “If it is for survival, all evil is not evil.”
“It’s not a sin to live?”
Jiang Jucai’s eyes slightly lit up, but he saw Gu Wen shaking his head and looking at him, his eyes calm and deep, as if he could see into people’s hearts.
“The so-called sin is to do something that is not deserved. It is not a sin if it is natural, and it is not a sin to seek life. But if a person grows old and gets sick and dies, then killing someone in order to live forever is a sin.”
“How can a monk not kill people?”
Gu Wen smiled and said, “So I only take care of myself and the people around me, unlike my master who always manages everyone in the world. What is it that you have a secret that you need my protection? Or has Fugui committed a crime and is going to jail?”
“…”
Jiang Jucai was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, “No, my father has always been kind to others and is a well-known good man.”
“What about you?”
“It’s natural for a nephew to want to be like his father.”
“That’s good.”
“Goodbye, nephew.”
Jiang Jucai turned around and left. After walking through the gate, he walked a little faster, his eyes were steady, and he looked straight ahead.
Master Wen is no ordinary man, he is omnipotent to his father.
But he is the only one who can keep his father alive and fulfill his long-cherished wish of seeing Master Wen again.
Until he completely disappeared, Chi Yuzi said: “Gu Wen, I think it is necessary for a cultivator to cut off the mortal world. I left home when I was young. He should not be considered a pure evil person, but I have reasons to kill him.”
She pursed her lips, leaned her head on Gu Wen’s shoulder, and whispered, “This feeling is annoying.”
“perhaps.”
Gu Wen could not deny it and said, “So I have to find the culprit. I can’t get rid of my anger by killing him. I heard that the Heavenly Demon Ancestor is about to become an immortal.”
