Chapter 21: No Desire, No Desire
Hearing Master Lin say this, Mrs. Lin cried and waved her hand, "My lord, after they left yesterday, I really didn't do anything, not only Qin'er, but all the people in the family can testify for me, please be clear." ”
Cheng Muyou then looked at Sun Qin, "Tell the truth about what you experienced yesterday, don't deceive at all, if you don't tell the truth about the government, you will be guilty." ”
Sun Qin kowtowed twice, "The folk girl will never dare to say half a lie, yesterday, after I saw my cousin from Sansu Temple, I came directly to the Lin Mansion, just met Shu'er to make trouble, my aunt was angry for a while, so she injured her, after my uncle and Shu'er left, I have been with my aunt, because after my cousin arrived at Sansu Temple, his body is getting better and healthier, so my aunt's mood is much better, and I didn't hurt my uncle for too long, until dawn, I fell asleep with my aunt, and then, I was woken up by the people sent by adults, Come with them to Xin'an House. ”
Cheng Muyou raised his eyes and stood up from the chair with a "bang", "You say...... Did you go to Sansu Temple? ”
***
"My lord suspects that the one who killed Shu'er was the three corpses I met in Sansu Temple that day?" In the study, Jiang Xixi couldn't even wait for Cheng Muyou to finish the tea, so he followed behind and asked anxiously.
"Do you know how Shu'er died?" Cheng Muyou swallowed the tea and put the cup on the table.
"Rape and murder."
"So I don't think it's a mortal who kills Shu'er."
"Why?" Jiang cherished perseverance.
Cheng Muyou glanced at Liu Xujiao, who was sitting on the side, Liu Xuzhi stood up, walked to Jiang Xixi's side, and smiled at her, "You are a girl who has not left the cabinet, and some things are inconvenient to know, so don't ask in detail, but you think, you met the madman near Sansu Temple, and Shu'er's death is also somewhat related to Sansu Temple, so Brother Cheng's suspicion is not unreasonable." “
Jiang Xixi's face turned red, and he roughly guessed what he meant, so he glared at him, and then turned his head to look at Cheng Muyou, "My lord, what are you going to do?" ”
"The matter has come to this point, I must personally go to Sansu Temple, it's a pity, you go and prepare the carriage and horses, and we will go over with Lord Liu in a while."
Jiang Xixi went out in response, and Cheng Muyou said to Liu Xujiao, "Shu'er did not leave a man's body fluids in her body, but there were obvious traces of being raped, and I also sent people to investigate carefully, but they didn't find ***, which is really inconsistent with common sense, this is one of them." Second, although she was strangled to death, there were no fingerprints left on her neck. Third, I have sent someone to ask everyone in the Lin Mansion, and the rhetoric is the same as Sun Qin, although there is a suspicion of being bought, but the liars are easy to identify, and they don't seem to be lying. “
Liu Xujiao nodded, "The most important thing is that the murderer has not been caught at all, and his wife cannot be convicted with Lin Xiao's face, so it is reasonable for the adults to put that Sun Hui back first." ”
Cheng Muyou silently looked out the window, "Brother Xian, what kind of person are the nine wise women?" ”
"I can't tell, although she is not very old, she looks desireless, and she looks like a hidden person."
"No desires, no desires?" Cheng Muyou's eyes lit up, "Everyone has desires, and the three corpse gods are made of desires, how can she be an exception?" Only, what is her desire? ”
***
A ray of sunlight shone in through the crack in the window and covered the body of the Nine Sages, dividing her face into two distinct colors, one bright and one dark, which was a little scary. Her eyes were closed, her brows frowned slightly, and she whispered to the invisible thing in front of her, "It's back with blood again, are you having fun this time?" “
The two legs appeared in the shadows, the surface of the legs was covered with blood, and the Nine Sages looked down at their lower abdomen, "See?" The outside world is so alive that once you go out, you will linger, and it took me a lot of effort to bring it back, don't you want to come out and try it? ”
The abdomen twitched slightly, like a fetal movement, and then, a heavy breathing came from inside, as if something was sniffing the blood in the air.
The Nine Sages smiled with satisfaction, "You haven't made up your mind yet, have you?" It doesn't matter, when you see with your own eyes how they enjoy the feast, they will naturally be willing to come out," she touched her lower abdomen and said silently, "I've been waiting for too long, it doesn't matter if I wait a few more days, it's not far away, that day should not be far away." ”
There was a knock on the door, and the Nine Sages waved her left hand forward with tiger teeth, and her legs disappeared into the air, and she raised her head and came in. The door opened, and Cheng Zhang's figure appeared by the door, and he saluted, "Master, the apprentice feels that his body is healing day by day in the past few days, so he also wants to practice some Taoist exercises like his brothers and sisters, I wonder if Master will agree?" ”
The Nine Sages took out a book from a stack of books next to the bed and handed it to him, "You look at it yourself first, and then ask me if you don't understand anything." ”
Cheng Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that his request was accepted so quickly, and just wanted to say thanks, but he heard a commotion outside the door, and Deliang's voice came immediately, "Master, Master Cheng from Xin'an Mansion is here, please go out and see you." ”
The goddess of the Nine Sages was stunned, leaving Cheng Zhang alone to greet her, Cheng Zhang followed her out of the door, and asked Chao Deliang, "Why is there another person from the official mansion, hasn't the last incident been made clear?" ”
Deliang spread out his hands, "I don't know, if the master doesn't say it, let's not ask around, you pour a few cups of tea and send them to the master." ”
Cheng Muyou looked at the nine sages sitting opposite, and saw that her eyebrows were clear and her expression was indifferent, indeed as Liu Xujiao said, like a master of the Tao who did not ask about the world. He smiled lightly, "Dao Chief, it's really disturbing to visit Guibao Land five times. ”
The Nine Sages shook her head slightly, "My Great Song Dynasty has attached great importance to Taoism since the founding of the country, and has greatly promoted Taoism, as a Taoist disciple, I naturally feel deeply gracious. ”
"The Taoist is really a reasonable person, then I will not say secret words, and I will tell the truth."
"Master Cheng, please speak."
"Recently, there have been several strange cases in Xin'an City, according to the clues I have, it seems to be related to the three corpse gods, I don't know what the chief has about the three corpses?"
The Nine Sages looked at Cheng Muyou puzzled, "What do you mean by the three corpses making trouble in the world?" How is this possible? They can only go out for an hour in the night of Gengshen Day, and then they will return to their original body, in such a short time, where can they do evil? Presumably the adult is looking for the wrong person. ”
