"Your Excellency."

"Zhang Shoubei."

Walking into the duty room after a long absence, he saw Lu Tai and another secretary, Song Shilin, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

There are a total of eight secretaries in the Shanhai Supervision Department, which themselves are under the dual leadership - nominally under the direct jurisdiction of the director Zhang Siwei, and usually under the two deputy supervisors and four guards, responsible for daily clerical work.

Because there is really no space to make room at the moment, Lu Tai and Song Shilin are also working in this room for the time being.

By the time the barracks outside the city are completed, this cramped situation should be alleviated.

Well......

If the Buddha's light relics are injured and lose the attribute of automatic Sanskrit chanting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they may not have to wait so long to have an independent office.

However, Wang Shouye responded with his head bowed, and at the same time swept the situation in the duty room, but unexpectedly found that Ma Gui was not present.

When he greeted him at the door, wasn't he also mixed in?

Seeing the suspicious look on Wang Shouye's face, Lu Tai hurriedly reported: "Ma Shoubei and Hu Shoubei went to the West Cross Courtyard together, look at Xu Huaizhi, he has just been walking for a while." ”

Among the three people brought back from Cangzhou, in fact, the most bizarre is the dead and newborn little guy Moxiang - but it's always better to hack him to death directly, see if he can be resurrected again, right?

In view of this, Xu Huaizhi is the most eye-catching existence at the moment.

Although he was instructed by Bai Changqi just now, he had to write a detailed written record.

But this kind of thing is directly handed over to Lu Tai, he can now be said to be the first 'karma blow' in the Ming Dynasty, and the content he writes must not disappoint Wang Shouye.

Therefore, Wang Shouye pondered whether to go with him to inspect the Xikuan Courtyard - he was not in the capital for more than ten days, and he didn't know if there was any new progress in the study of the relics.

"Your Excellency."

At this time, Lu Tai reported again: "After we left Beijing, there have been a lot of changes in the yamen, why don't you ask Secretary Song to report to you briefly?" ”

This was exactly what Wang Shouye wanted, and immediately said to Song Shilin, 'There is work'.

And Song Shilin saw Fang Cai's battle, how dare he slack off on Wang Shouye's requirements?

I was busy reporting the big and small things that happened in the past few days, and I presented them concisely and concisely.

Because he knew that Wang Shouye had been in the West Cross Courtyard before, the first thing he reported was naturally the research progress in the West Cross Courtyard.

I have to say that the crowd tactics caused by Xu Jie, which are still quite effective, are not an exaggeration to say that they are blooming everywhere.

Zhang Siwei tested the wooden fish, which has the effect of calming the qi and concentrating the mind - on the first day of October, he also successfully resisted the Buddha's Yin Sanskrit chanting.

[This news made Wang Shouye sweat in his heart, for fear that someone would find out that he had borrowed a knife to kill people, but fortunately, he listened to Song Shilin's meaning, the wooden fish test was limited to the vicinity of the Ermen Sandwich Road, and there was still a long distance from the Buddha's light relic. 】

Inspired by Wang Shouye, Shen Changfu experimented with condensed sweet water to raise fish during this period, and it has already begun to bear fruit – but even he himself is unclear about what the carp with increased strength can use.

In addition, after repeated dose tests, he also managed to breed a second animal in the Strange Power series, a female goat.

It's a pity that the mortality rate is still high, and it seems that the chance of surviving alienation is not even one percent, and it is obviously a long way from practicality.

Zhang Shibang and Ma Gui found the remains of a stone statue hidden by the monks, and with the assistance of Shen Changfu, confirmed that it had the function of early warning.

If someone's life is in danger around them, the two eyes of the stone statue will gurgle and turn - but no matter how you check it, the eyeballs will merge with the eye sockets.

This early warning function is mainly verified by two accidents.

The first accident was the incident of fire robbery crystal steam injuring people.

The sweet water, which had been boiling for several days, finally dried up, and after cooling for a considerable period of time and confirming that there was no temperature outside, more than a dozen internal guards and Taoist priests who were eager for alchemy worked together to put down the fire robbery crystal, trying to take out the gum with a long stick and put it in another container.

But who would have thought that the bottom of the Fire Tribulation Crystal, after being stirred, suddenly rose up countless steam!

The Taoist guards surrounding the mouth of the basket could not avoid it, first being scalded off by steam, and then dying of the toxicity of the gum.

At that time, the scene was far more miserable than the livestock that died violently.

This accident alone claimed five lives.

However, it was also confirmed that although the Fire Tribulation Crystal was difficult to heat, as long as it was successfully heated, the effect of accumulating heat itself was not comparable to that of ordinary utensils.

At present, the Taoist priests who have been summoned to try alchemy are trying to figure out whether the temperature inside the Fire Tribulation Crystal is also higher than that of other vessels.

The second accident was the escape of the Strange Duck from prison.

At noon on the first day of October, the Shanhai Prison was preparing for the war, the first Sanskrit singing day without Wang Shouye's guard.

The strange duck jumped up, flapped its wings and jumped out of the duck pen, and in the ensuing encirclement, it led to the tragedy of one death and three injuries.

For this reason, Shen Changfu had to raise the wall of the duck pen and cover the sky above the duck pen with heavy nets.

However, since the fourth day of October, the strength of the strange duck seems to have stopped growing, and it seems that it has entered a bottleneck period.

The progress of the West Cross Courtyard is much the same.

In addition, after Zhang Siwei's suggestion before leaving, the Shanhaijian is now planning to dispatch inspectors from the Shanhaijian in the Chenghuang Temple and the temples of the Great Daoguan.

In this way, once someone offers incense and prays, or asks monks and Taoists to deal with matters involving gods and ghosts, they can immediately launch a follow-up investigation and nip possible dangers in the bud.

According to Zhang Siwei, regardless of the locality, at least the capital must be in the hands of the imperial court!

To be honest, after listening to these developments, Wang Shouye's heart was a little empty, as if something that belonged to him had been pried away by others.

However, since he is in the yamen that specializes in strange affairs, how can he be the only one who is 'learning from things' from beginning to end?

Never mind~

Anyway, he can share and use these research results.

And the talisman on the arhat tree can only be distinguished by him.

Of course, if you want to really record it and keep it for yourself, I'm afraid it will take a while more practice to achieve it.

Other than that......

If the protective film is damaged, I don't know if it will affect the transcription seal.

Speaking of broken protective film, we have to mention the transparent tentacles that stretched out from his face when he was in the ruins of the state government that day.

Judging from the sharp pain of the splitting that came later, it should be the soul tentacles.

At that time, some of the tentacles were cut off by the self-repairing protective film before they could be completely retracted, and they escaped directly into the air.

However, more tentacles successfully resisted the 'cutting' of the protective film and successfully retracted into the body, thus causing pain, which was much lighter than when it was irradiated by the dark gold Buddha light.

Wang Shouye thought about it at that time, wondering if he could exercise this ability and even develop more uses.

But he was also worried that trying too much would really hurt his soul.

After all, there were indeed some tentacles at that time, which escaped in the wind and snow after being cut off.

This matter involves the soul and cannot be neglected.

Therefore, on the way back to Beijing, he has been in hesitation.

After thinking about it, for the sake of safety, it is better to wait for those few runes to be completed first.

Maybe when the time comes, you will learn the method of cultivation, and you won't need to turn into a tentacle monster.

Just thinking about what he didn't have, Ma Gui picked up the curtain from outside and entered the duty room.

He was already preoccupied, but he was even more stunned when he saw Wang Shouye, and then involuntarily avoided Wang Shouye's gaze and said hello vaguely.

"How?"

Wang Shouye was very puzzled when he saw this, so he joked half-truthfully: "It's only been a few days since I saw him, and Brother Chongzhi has separated from me?" ”

"How so!"

Ma Gui hurriedly denied it, and after a long time, he pointed to the direction of the gate and said, "A group of mothers-in-law came outside, it seems to be ...... It is the family members of those who died in Cangzhou. ”

The smile on Wang Shouye's face suddenly froze.

Then he walked out from behind the bookcase, and walked out silently.

"Your Excellency!"

Lu Tai hurriedly stopped in front of him: "It's better to let the lowly ......"

Wang Shouye flicked his sleeves indiscriminately, interrupted Lu Tai's invitation, and said in a deep voice: "I always have to see him." ”

After a pause, he emphatically said, "You should also go and see you!" ”
