Chapter 178 Nine Ileum 10

Feiyun Temple is located to the west of Nanshan outside the city. There are green bamboos inside and outside the temple, which is quite elegant. The main hall is dedicated to the Sanqing Tianzun. However, because the wealthy people in the capital are now embracing Buddhism, except around the New Year, There are almost no pilgrims inside the temple.

The Taoist priest named Xuanqing was over fifty years old. When Wu Xiang took the officials to the temple, Xuanqing was meditating and practicing. Seeing someone coming from the yamen, the young Taoist priests were quite panicked. This Taoist priest Xuanqing was actually Looks peaceful.

But when Wu Xiang asked about the Taoist priests who were kicked out of the Taoist temple last year, Taoist Master Xuanqing's expression changed slightly.

Wu Xiang saw clearly, "Taoist Master, why was this person kicked out of the Taoist temple?"

Taoist Master Xuanqing frowned. His Taoist robe made him look a bit like an immortal. He shook his sleeves and said, "This person has left Feiyun Temple. Any subsequent incidents have nothing to do with anyone in the temple." ."

Wu Xiang was a little helpless, "Don't worry, Taoist Priest, the government will not implicate people casually. Now we suspect that this person is related to a murder case, so we came here to inquire and ask the Taoist Priest to report the truth."

Xuan Qing then looked slightly relaxed and invited Wu Xiang to sit down in the tea room. When he opened his mouth, Taoist Master Xuan Qing's tone was still a bit sad, "His common name is Li Shen, his Taoist name is Xuan Ling, and he is twelve years younger than Pindao. , he was picked up by his master when he was seven or eight years old. Because of his frailty, he was taken care of by his master. However, he did not learn well since he was a child. Later, he even returned to secular life for a few years, but because he had no livelihood, he returned to the Taoist temple. After returning to the Taoist temple, He is more interested in practicing Taoism than before, but he has embarked on a deviant path, often using rituals to defraud money, and even recruiting disciples privately."

Taoist Master Xuanqing sighed, "When the master was here, he was very protective of him. He also hid it and did not dare to make trouble openly. But when the master left a year ago, he became more and more wanton and accepted no more disciples." The mountain doctor taught orthodox fortune-telling, but instead taught some strange scriptures and meanings. Later, his apprentice caused trouble outside and almost killed someone, so Pindao took the initiative to expel him from the monastery."

After saying that, Taoist Priest Xuanqing looked at Wu Xiang, "He used magic to deceive people again?"

Wu Xiang shook his head and asked him: "What kind of deception did he use to deceive people before?"

"Someone came to the door suffering from a difficult-to-treat disease. He made a panacea and sold it to people 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. When the limelight passed, Just come back."

The old Taoist priest pointed to the deserted temple outside, "The head catcher also saw that there are dozens of people in this Taoist temple who all need food rations. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer pilgrims in the temple. These people must survive. He He almost killed someone, and it was difficult to persuade him to return to the right path. I couldn't tolerate him even if I thought of my friendship as a teacher."

Taoist elixir refining is nothing, but most of the elixirs are harmful to people. Li Shen used this method to defraud money and almost killed someone. No wonder he was expelled from the Taoist temple. Since this person had evil intentions, Wu Xiang became increasingly suspicious.

Wu Xiang said: "The Taoist priest said that he is frail and sickly, but does he have a hidden illness?"

At this point, Xuan Qingdao let out a long sigh, "He was indeed ill. It was the two years when he returned to secular life in his twenties. He left the Taoist temple for two years and came back. When he came back, he became ill. Master took pity on him. , he was kept in a Taoist temple for two years before he got better. His illness was very strange and he couldn’t be hurt. Any wound that caused him would bleed uncontrollably. Normally——"

"Is it blood?" Wu Xiang couldn't help but ask before Taoist Xuanqing finished speaking.

Taoist Master Xuanqing was slightly surprised, and then nodded, "It is exactly this disease that Master Channel has superb medical skills. It is almost like he was cured by his own hands. However, this disease cannot be cured. The older you get, the more difficult it becomes." Suffer."

Wu Xiang's eyes were bright, "May I ask Master if he knows the art of killing family members?"

"The art of death?" Taoist priest Xuanqing frowned, "Why are you asking this? This art of death is not the right way, and it is extremely dangerous. Only liars will use this method to deceive people."

Wu Xiang hurriedly asked: "Can Li Shen use this method to deceive others?"

Xuan Qing sighed again, "Probably he was deceived. He went around swindling gold and silver, claiming that his elixirs and spells were miraculous, and even made such lies as the art of death. Many people thought that If you follow him to practice Taoism, you will be able to reborn and become an immortal, so you don't hesitate to spend a lot of money, but what he teaches is just the five simple Taoist skills..."

"Does the Taoist priest know the whereabouts of this person?"

Xuan Qing frowned slightly, "I don't know about this. He was expelled by me, and he felt resentful in his heart. Moreover, his reputation has been ruined. I'm afraid he has already left the capital and went out to deceive others."

The two were talking in the tea room, and a few Taoist priests at the door were eavesdropping. At this time, one of them couldn't help but said, "Master, uncle has not left the capital. A month ago, someone was in Luo I saw him by the river."

Xuan Qing looked at the little Taoist priest, and Wu Xiang also stood up and walked to the door, "Has anyone seen it? Maybe someone is here?"

The little Taoist priest who had seen Li Shen was quickly found. After Wu Xiang asked carefully, he found out that someone had actually seen Li Shen. He also asked about Li Shen's appearance, size and shape, which were different from those described by Zhang Duo. Wu Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed! Li Shen's suspicion is getting heavier and heavier!

After asking about this man's age and life, Wu Xiang even found a Taoist priest who was good at painting and drew Li Shen's appearance. He spent most of the day in Feiyunguan before returning to the capital and returned to the Yamen. Happened to be there too.

With nothing to do during the day, Bo Ruoyou went to the Yamen to check the files, and found about ten cases among the more than ten cases related to young children and eliminated them one by one. Finally, he found that two cases in the past five years were very suspicious. , seeing Wu Xiang come back, Bo Ruoyou naturally listened to him first about what he had learned from Feiyun Temple.

"It is true that a Taoist priest was kicked out last year. This man suffered from hematuria, but the symptoms were not rapid. With years of diagnosis and treatment, the condition was temporarily stabilized. He is forty-two years old this year. In the 17th year Before, he had been a layman for two years, and returned to Taoism due to illness fifteen years ago. If he is the murderer, then it is very likely that the case of the Ming family master fourteen years ago was caused by his illness."

Wu Xiang then told the old Taoist priest that he had evil intentions and everything happened. Bo Ruoyoudun heard his dark eyes bright and said, "I never thought I would get something! Since someone has seen him and now has a portrait, let's go to Xiangguo If you go down to the town and ask around, you will definitely find out. You can also ask the old man who sells masks. He might still remember it."

Wu Xiang is also full of hope, "I plan to use all the people in the yamen to find Pai. Even if I dig up the ground of the town three feet, I will find this person."

Bao Ruoyou glanced at the thick pile of files taken out from the inner treasury, "In that case, there is no need to look for clues from the files. Everyone can relax these days -"

Wu Xiang responded, and Hu Changqing and the civil servants also breathed a sigh of relief. It was near the end of the year, and there were already many affairs in the yamen. The case involved lives and it was also very important. Therefore, everyone had almost no time to rest. Now in Feiyun Everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief after getting an important clue.

Wu Xiang went to dispatch people, and Bo Ruoyou said goodbye and left the Yamen. Feiyun Temple was what Uncle Zhongyi said. Bo Ruoyou thought about it and drove to the Hou Mansion so that he could inform Huo Weilou of the progress of the case. .

The carriage rumbled along. The snow from the previous few days had half melted, and the cold wind blowing in the face was biting. But as soon as the carriage arrived in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, Bo Ruoyou saw Huo Weilou leaving the house. She came out of the door and wanted to take the car away, but she quickly called out to stop him.

When Huo Weilou heard the news, Bo Ruoyou got off the carriage and asked, "Where are you going, Lord Marquis?"

"Go to Xiangguo Temple——"

Bo Ruoyou was a little surprised, Huo Weilou continued: "You should know that today is the Buddha's birthday. Just now Hong'er sent someone back to Beijing to say that there was something wrong with the Buddha treasure presented by His Majesty today, and he asked me to go and rescue him."
