Chapter 494
Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun immediately waved their hands respectfully and saluted, "The juniors have seen the seniors, and we came here under the guidance of Qilang. โ
The snake man stood up completely, and Wen Xiaoyun was surprised to find that the snake man stood up straight and was taller than her.
I don't know if it's an illusion, although his face hasn't changed, his straight body has a more non-angry and arrogant bearing.
It's much worse than the obscene appearance of the previous slumped body.
The snake man looked at the letter in his hand again, and finally turned and walked to the hut, and without looking back, he left a sentence, "Come with me." โ
After saying that, he stepped on the thick fallen leaves and walked out of the woods.
Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun glanced at each other, quickly made a decision, and followed.
Back in the house, the snake man walked to the box in the outer room, took out the basin from the box, and washed his face with water.
Later, I took out some bottles and jars of fat powder, as well as wigs and fake beards.
Walked to the back room, stood in front of the table, took a bronze mirror, carefully measured the powder, and finally put on a fake beard and fake white hair. While putting on makeup, he was holding Shichiro's letter and reading it. Wen Xiaoyun and Yin Nuo stood next to him silently, silently waiting for him to speak.
After reading it, the snake man put the letter on the table, and said without raising his head: "I am She Pi, the person you are looking for, but I am not interested in your business, you can go." โ
Wen Xiaoyun glanced at Yin Nuo anxiously, Yin Nuo immediately stood up, stepped forward and said, "Senior She, why did you refuse Qilang?" โ
She Pi took out a set of white fake mustaches and wig sets from the box, and glanced at Yin Nuo obliquely, "It's not that I reject Qilang, but that I reject you." โ
With that, he turned around again, put the wig on the table, dipped his hands in the water in the basin, and straightened up his yellow, thinning hair.
Wen Xiaoyun also stood up, "But where are the juniors who can't do it, making the seniors angry?" โ
After arranging her hair, She Pi picked up the wig cover and put it on carefully, sneered, and said, "It's not that you are rude, but you want my life." Ming people don't do dark things, what I do, I can admit to you.
It was I who provoked the housekeeper of Ningfu to kidnap the little young master, and showed him the method, and also sent someone to help him take care of the little young master;
The person who revealed the news of Du You and his daughter to Jiu Lang and Yuan Niang's husband was also me;
As a master in the world, he approached Qiu Renyi and Hao Shopkeeper respectively, and while introducing Tian Qilang, a master of thousands of arts, to Qiu Renyi, he revealed to Hao that the person who can create a winter and summer scene is still me.
In short, the few big cases you investigated, hiding behind to make plans, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away are all me.
But even though one person does the same thing, I won't be so stupid as to kill myself.
With these charges, I went down the mountain with you to the Yanzhou government to surrender myself, didn't I seek my own death? Who are you? Is it my mother? Why should I give you all my life and my wealth? โ
After speaking, She Pi brushed her silver-white wig, and at this time she was already like a fairy-like person.
Wen Xiaoyun frowned fiercely.
In fact, she was very skeptical at the beginning why Tian Qilang wrote this letter to She Pi.
Even if Tian Qilang had a fateful relationship with She Pi, there was no reason to ask She Pi to die.
But the series of accidents outside the hospital just now and She Pi's current attitude and words have given her the answer.
She finally understood Tian Qilang's intentions.
She also knows how to persuade She Pi, the only thing she lacks is a little medicine introduction to start lobbying work.
Thinking of this, she frowned unconsciously, and carefully looked around the room furnishings.
Since Tian Qilang is so confident, then this medicine primer must be in the light, as long as she looks carefully, she will definitely be able to find the clues.
Wen Xiaoyun here was looking around with full firepower, but Yin Nuo on the other side took the lead in opening his mouth, "She senior, the juniors will never dare to call the seniors to die, and in the same way, the early waves who have had a fateful friendship with the seniors will never harm the seniors."
We all know that the identity of the predecessors is special, and none of these cases have been directly shot. The younger generation thought that it was the plans and strategies for the housekeepers of the Ning Mansion, Jiu Lang, Hao Shopkeeper and Qiu Renyi, and the seniors did not directly tell them to launch murder cases one after another.
The juniors invited the seniors to go down the mountain, but it was all to make the context of the case clearer, so as to find the real murderer. โ
She Pi, who was holding a white beard and sticking a little bit to his face, heard this, and his hands stiffened.
He sat up straight and looked up at Yin Nuo, "What you said in the middle is good. I never told them I was going to commit murder. It's just an inadvertent revelation of a little bit of exclusive stunt information.
But what do you mean by the first and last two sentences? Why can't I understand? โ
The corners of Yin Nuo's lips hooked a meaningful smile, "Are the seniors teaching the juniors?" โ
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun unconsciously clenched her fists. The beginning and end of Yin Nuo's words just now are exactly the introduction she wants.
It seems that Yin Nuo has thought of all the things she thinks of here, and even thinks of them more comprehensively than her.
She unconsciously pricked up her ears and looked sideways at Yin Nuo, listening carefully to his answer.
With one hand behind his back, Yin Nuo walked towards the door, raised his hand and pointed to the location of the door, and said with a smile: "The predecessor is a well-known thief, with this identity, as long as you don't commit the felony of rape and murder, the rest of the crimes will be exempted from responsibility when you enter the yamen." โ
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes widened in surprise, what is a thief? How can it be so cranky?
The effect is comparable to the sword above.
At this moment, Wen Zhuyun's gentle voice came from the brain wave again, "It's not your fault that you didn't find the medicine primer." It's that you don't understand ancient customs.
Here I will explain to you, so as not to show timidity in the future and damage my reputation as Wen Junzi.
Thieves, as the name suggests, are the household registration of robbers, thieves and other recruits. At the beginning, the government ambushed a group of Jiangyang thieves with hands and eyes. In order to facilitate management, they have been separately registered as thieves. Because these robbers are very powerful, they are afraid that they will restlessly break away from the control of the government and return to their old jobs, and the government has given them a lot of appeasement privileges. It is said that the punishment is not a doctor, but these thieves also enjoy the preferential treatment of impunity for petty crimes.
In your later generations as a classic "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", there is a story about thieves, there is a fox spirit who steals and breaks the law, and finally is caught by the master and the government, and at the moment of life and death, the fox spirit actually shouted 'I am a thief', intending to be exempt from responsibility. It was a joke for a while.
To this day, the person who can be given a special identity by the government as a thief is still a strong man with almost all the skills. Therefore, theft is not only not a shameful title, but a manifestation of identity. โ
Wen Xiaoyun blinked in disbelief.
It turns out that this thief is still so particular, which is really eye-opening.
"Wen Zhuyun, in the future, it will be like this kind of ancient unique customs and folklore knowledge, can you tell me in advance?"
Wen Zhuyun paused for a moment, then let out a disdainful chuckle, "Do you think it's possible?" โ
Wen Xiaoyun: ยทยทยท
Wen Zhuyun said coldly, "You reminded me that from today onwards, you will be given another task to study various classics and ancient books, starting with the "Collection of Grievances". โ
Wen Xiaoyun held a mouthful of old blood in her chest, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep, and where could she squeeze out time to read a book.
She puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "If you can pull me into the gap of time and space at any time and study while time stands still in the outside world, then there is still something to talk about." โ
Wen Zhuyun: "That goes against your genius character, the busiest person has the most time." Adjust the time yourself. In addition, I will give you a list of ancient books and classics that you need, and you can buy them yourself immediately if you free up your private money. โ
If it weren't for Yin Nuo and She Pi, who were afraid of scaring the real world, Wen Xiaoyun's mouthful of old blood would really spurt out.
If you don't have time to help her, she doesn't even have to buy books for studying.
What do I want you to do with this space-time system?!!!
However, Wen Zhuyun didn't give her the slightest chance to entangle. After posting the mission, it quickly disappeared into the brain waves, leaving no shadow at all.
Wen Xiaoyun could only reluctantly return to the real world.
Here, when She Pi heard Yin Nuo's words, he suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Hehe, after all, it's a person from the government, and this little trick can't hide it from you." After laughing, his white beard had just been pasted.
He stroked his beard and shrugged his shoulders again, "But even if I have the identity of a thief, what good will it do to go down the mountain with you?" Why can you make me go with you in such a tormented and burdened way? โ
This time, it was Wen Xiaoyun who stepped forward.
She took a step forward, looked directly at She Pi, and said confidently: "It is not our two juniors who can convince the seniors to work hard to walk down the mountain, but the seniors yourself. โ
She Pi frowned unconsciously, turned her eyes to look at Wen Xiaoyun, stroked her snow-white beard, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Why is it me?" โ
Wen Xiaoyun and Yin Nuo looked at each other and smiled, and said: "I think if it is an ordinary person who has done these cases, even if it is not directly related, it will never be easily admitted to the people in the government."
In fact, before the two of us even asked, the seniors themselves told everything about it.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of purposes for doing this.
First, those things were not done by the predecessors at all, and they deliberately said this in order to confuse the facts of the case. Either to defend others for crimes, or for other purposes, deliberately confusing the truth of the case.
Second, those things were indeed done by the seniors, and frankly, it was because the seniors were very self-conscious. Doing those shocking cases, or even impossible cases, is definitely the best opportunity for seniors to make a name for themselves.
Seniors like excitement and challenges, and they like to do things that are difficult for the world to achieve. It is used to get psychological satisfaction. โ
She Pi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? So what kind of person do I think I am? โ
Wen Xiaoyun's eyes burned, and his demeanor became more and more calm, "The seniors had clearly seen the two of us outside just now, and even when the two of us just walked into this wood, the seniors had already discovered us.
But the predecessors still appeared in front of us, deliberately chewing on raw snakes, showing their animal form, clearly enjoying the fun of scaring others.
Doing this, in fact, is very risky, if the two of us are frightened, we really treat our predecessors as monsters, and fight with all our might, no matter what, it will bring a certain danger to our predecessors.
Obviously, you can choose to hide in the shadows and monitor us more securely, but the predecessors have to go against the trend and face difficulties, such a radical character is very similar to the second situation in the inference. Therefore, the younger generation thinks that taking the initiative to go down the mountain and reveal everything they have done to the world, such an exciting and thrilling thing must be something that the seniors themselves especially want to do. โ
She Pi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was slightly cold, "Deliberately appearing in front of you and revealing all your true faces, isn't it more like the first situation?" Because I want to carry a case that I have never done before, I want to deliberately attract your attention with a strange gesture. โ
Wen Xiaoyun shook her head, "It was a complete accident that we found Tian Qilang. But if we have the slightest bit or so, we will not find him.
In the end, it was recognized by Shichiro, which was an accident among accidents.
And you are the person introduced by Shichiro, it is impossible to get the news before him, see through our intentions, and prepare in advance. So the first speculation can be overturned from Shichiro. โ
She Pi slapped the table and said excitedly: "It's good, you can guess everything, this is the fun." โ
Wen Xiaoyun said unhurriedly: "According to the speculation of the juniors, although these cases are all helped by the seniors, but each case, each one, is not obvious to the seniors. Although the predecessors may have done so many things only for fame and excitement.
However, the Ningfu Yuanbao goblin case, the Du's Qianzhuang Silver Fire Dragon case, Du Ying'er's corpse splitting case, and the case of the governor's son being changed by the white dragon involved in the perpetrators and victims have different identities, and the experience is complicated and complicated. In order to bring together all these people who are both south and north, black or white, the predecessors still lack a reason for choice.
Thinking of the Wen Xiang Sect forces hidden in every case, the younger generation thinks that the cause is connected with the last one that my brother just said, that is, the real murderer of all cases is Wen Xiangjiao. โ
She Pi stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Not bad, not bad." Sure enough, the people who can find me here are not ordinary people. โ
Yin Nuo also smiled, "Are the seniors willing to go down the mountain and help the juniors solve the case?" โ
She Pi stroked his beard and looked at Yin Nuo with a smile, "What your daughter-in-law just said is right, I am indeed a person who loves excitement and has nothing to do." โ
Hearing the word daughter-in-law, Yin Nuo's face turned red.
Wen Xiaoyun almost fell on the spot.
How could he see through his daughter's body? And why is she Yin Nuo's daughter-in-law?
She just wanted to explain and refute, but Yin Nuo grabbed her hand and gave her a quick look.
It's like telling her that it's important to solve the case, and finally said that she Pi came out of the mountain, and now he is right about everything.
Don't interrupt him, it would be bad if you spoil his mood and make him change his mind.
Wen Xiaoyun opened her mouth again and again, and finally reluctantly accepted Yin Nuo's suggestion.
After all, solving the case is the most important thing.
Seeing Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun and his wife eyebrow in front of him, She Pi couldn't help but smile again, he likes to tease the little couple who haven't married yet.
After all, in this world, it is not easy to find two young men and women who are too thick-skinned to get married, and then come out to pull and pull in front of people.
However, this level of small freshness is not enough for She Pi to make any more comments.
His interest is still in a series of shocking cases.
He only didn't see the eyebrows of Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun, and continued the topic just now and said: "Wen Xiangjiao found me at that time, and he also put forward the difficulty of these things, and used a large amount of money and agitation to stimulate the old man to go out of the mountain.
But they are also wrong, those cases are so difficult that they are rare, even if they don't give the old man money, the old man will definitely do it! The more She Pi said, the brighter his eyes became, as if those things were just a difficult math problem, waiting for his genius to crack it, "The old man not only has to do it, but also does it seamlessly, without flaws, to make it a big case that can set off the entire Ludi, and make it the world's largest case!" โ
Wen Xiaoyun nodded very obediently, "What the predecessors said is that the masters of the world who can design such a shocking case, especially those who can be bought by yellow and white vulgar things?" โ
She Pi grinned with a smile, "Of course, the old man prefers exciting and lucrative trading." โ
Wen Xiaoyun hurriedly saw the wind and said in agreement: "That is a must, a master who is not imprisoned by secular standards, that is a real master!" With money in hand, I have the world, and with money, I can do more experiments and make more elaborate designs. Senior, you are definitely the first sober in the world, everyone in the world is drunk, only the king is awake! โ
This series of rainbow farts was very useful to She Pi.
He sat down, patted his belly with a smile, and said with great satisfaction, "Oh, if you don't say that the people who can find the old man are not mortals, they just have vision and insight." โ
Wen Xiaoyun saw that the time was ripe, so he hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope, walked quickly to the seat in front of She Pi, leaned over and sat down, looked up at She Pi, and his eyes were bright little stars: "That's, don't hide it from our predecessors, we have also dealt with Wen Xiangjiao a few times." Even if they stole back to the Dragon Ball for the Nine, their sect had to send the hall masters of the three major gates of the Demon Gate, the Wind Gate, and the Towel Gate to make a move. I didn't expect to lose in the end at the hands of my cousin, just their ability, let alone setting up this series of shocking cases, I'm afraid that a winter and summer agency can kill them.
That's why the juniors, after seeing the seniors, dispelled the idea that you are also a member of the Wenxiang Sect.
You must know that the entire Wenxiang Sect, but there are only four gates, a small case, just send three major masters, the Wenxiang Sect is really not worthy of you.
You see, you have designed so many big cases before, but in fact, it is not the most exciting thing. What is really exciting is that you designed the case, and in the end, you went to the yamen in person to tell the truth about all the organs to the mortal world. That is really the first in the world, the first in the world, the first in the world! โ
She Pi listened very vigorously in front of her, knocking on the table with one hand, and the more she listened, the happier she became. Hearing the back, his smile froze slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Xiaoyun with a smile: "You ghost elf girl, you really have a lot of ghost thoughts!" However, it is in line with the old man's temper, and the old man likes it. โ
Wen Xiaoyun leaned forward, full of anticipation (โโฝโ), "Did you promise the juniors with the seniors?" โ
Wen Xiaoyun's cute appearance really made She Pi a little unbearable, he crossed his arms, smiled evilly and raised his eyebrows, "I can promise you." โ
Seeing that Wen Xiaoyun was a serial fancy sycophant again, and pretending to be cute, Yin Nuo was very speechless on the side.
He reached out and pressed Wen Xiaoyun's shoulder, dragged her whole person back, and took the initiative to answer: "Listen to the seniors, are there any additional conditions?" โ
She Pi nodded, raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, and said meaningfully: "There are indeed conditions." But don't worry, it's not difficult, as long as it suits my appetite. โ
Wen Xiaoyun straightened up and replied solemnly: "The seniors have requirements, but it doesn't hurt to talk about them." The two of us will definitely do our best to bow down for our seniors, and we will not hesitate to do so. To show our sincerity. Saying that, Wen Xiaoyun showed a cheeky smile on her face again, "It's just that the juniors have important cases on their bodies, so they can't delay much time." Can you please come down the mountain with us first, and promise you something, and I will do it in two days. โ
She Pi frowned and shook his head, "No, no, this is not good." If you don't promise me, I will never go down the mountain. โ
Wen Xiaoyun and Yin Nuo glanced at each other, and Yin Nuo immediately stepped forward and said, "In this way, I have to ask my seniors to talk quickly, and the two of us will find a way." โ
She Pi is satisfied, "This should start with the old man's life experience." โ
Wen Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, the more anxious they were, the more tormented this She Pi became.
She Pi continued: "As soon as the old man came out of his mother's womb, he had these monster eyes. The family was afraid of being anxious, and they all thought that they had been reincarnated by demons. Just a few days after he was born, he sent the old man to the temple.
It's just that in the temple, the old man is also regarded as a monster, but the old man's master is good to me. Not only did it make me read thousands of books, but it also taught me all the skills. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and when I was thirteen years old, Master sat down and ascended.
In the temple, they all said that I had hindered Master's cultivation and that he had died young. There was no place for me in the temple. In a fit of rage, I went up the hill and planned to make a lodging for myself. Unexpectedly, I ran into a group of stupid robbers, and it didn't take much effort for me to become the king of the mountain. But after becoming the queen of the mountain, in addition to fighting and killing, eating and drinking every day, she is also very bored. It didn't take long for me to start scouring for thaumaturgical books and studying difficult mechanisms. Unexpectedly, I found an ancient book on the way.
Ancient books say that a long, long time ago, there were people and demons in this world.
At that time, people were immortal, but they had to go through a molt every few years.
The human race really couldn't bear it, so they went to the gods to save them from this never-ending molting torture.
The gods agreed to the request of the Terrans, spared the Terrans the ordeal of molting, and put their hands on the body of the Snake Clan. But the Terrans also lost the ability to live forever. โ
Hearing this, Wen Xiaoyun's eyes widened in surprise.
This statement is really new.
Then he turned his head to look at Yin Nuo on the side, but saw him pinching his chin with one hand, thinking about it and saying, "The younger generation has also heard the master say this. โ
She Pi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Your master is not a mortal either. โ
Wen Xiaoyun asked curiously, "What about later?" Does this have anything to do with your eating snakes? โ
She Pi nodded and said, "That's right, because the old man was born with snake eyes, he is particularly interested in the myths and legends of snakes." Later, I collected a lot of unique ancient books, and I learned that there is a kind of chosen person, if you use snakes to practice, eat raw snakes, and then add secret alchemy pills, you can return to the state of immortality.
Of course, immortality is not very attractive to the old man, and what makes the old man want to stop is the atavism back to the state of the snake man.
So the old man began to practice snake eating, but he didn't expect that the first time he ate a snake, not only was he not half disgusted, but he also felt very sweet and crisp. As soon as I ate the old man, I became addicted. It is also because of this that the old man is even more convinced that the old man is the chosen one.
Because the old man also tried other creatures, he took a bite, and he felt that the smell was extremely fishy, and it was difficult to swallow at all. โ
Wen Xiaoyun frowned and thought about it and said, "What the seniors asked the two of us to do, could it be that it has something to do with this matter?" โ
She Pi smiled and nodded, "However, if you don't say that you are a clever little girl." A little bit is thorough.
Over the years of eating snakes, the old man's body skin has become more and more like a snake, but at the same time, the old man's body has become weaker and weaker. The old man thought that it might be a critical moment of life and death transformation. In order to ensure that the old man can survive this catastrophe safely, the old man needs a legend of immortality. โ
Wen Xiaoyun blinked in bewilderment, "The legend of immortality? โ
She Pi's expression became solemn, "Whether it's the elixir of immortality, or the saying of immortality, or the ancient artifact of immortality, it's okay." โ
Wen Xiaoyun looked at Yin Nuo in embarrassment, if Wen Xiaoyun could help with other things, she could really only rely on Yin Nuo in this part of ancient legends and folklore.
Yin Nuo also looked dignified.
"The legend of immortality has to be found in half an hour, and it is really difficult. Senior, can you be tolerant? We'll be sure to help you find it in two days' time. โ
She Pi's face suddenly darkened, and his gaze at Yin Nuo began to become cold and gloomy, "Don't say that two days later, don't say that you will go down the mountain to help you testify, if you don't find out the legend of immortality for the old man today, you two don't want to leave the old man's door alive!" โ
