When I woke up again, Lao Dao was sitting leisurely in a chair drinking, and I was leaning back on a chair, Qi Yan was still nowhere to be seen, it seemed that she was determined not to see Lao Dao again.

"Old, that, how long have I been in a coma?" I looked at Lao Dao, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I remembered that my current identity seemed to be different, and I should be called master.

"Ten minutes." Lao Dao said lightly.

It's only been ten minutes, and I let out a sigh, and I thought I had been in a coma for a long time.

"While I'm not drunk yet, just ask if you have any questions." Lao Dao said and poured another sip of wine, and I realized that the mood in his hand was the second bottle.

"I remember what you said before about the ninth branch of Taoism, how many generations of Taoist protectors come?" I'll get confused with the names for a while.

"It's the seventh branch, the thirty-second generation of protectors, you are the thirty-third generation, and our protectors have always been single-handed." Lao Dao said angrily.

"A single pass? Wouldn't that be so easy to die young? I asked, a little puzzled.

"That's why it's the seventh branch." The answer of the old truth.

"You mean the first six have all been destroyed?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"I don't know, there were forty-nine hidden veins of Taoism back then, corresponding to the technique of Tianyan, as for how many are left to this day, I don't know, maybe we are the last one." Lao Dao drank wine and suddenly became a little lonely.

"Can you still get married as a Taoist priest?" I asked cautiously.

"If you have the ability, it's no problem to marry ten or eight."

Hearing this answer, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then began to care about my own situation, the heat flow in my body could not be felt, but my body was still warm and full of strength, and I looked at my hands, and my skin seemed to be better, but nothing else was found.

"That jade pendant was raised by you for eighteen years with a special method, and now it is absorbed by you, which is equivalent to directly building a foundation and improving your physique, from now on you can get twice the result with half the effort when you practice Taoism, there is a meditation map in the box at your feet, and there is a book of exercises in our vein, you go back and practice diligently, if you don't understand anything first, you can keep it first, and I will help you answer it when you come next time."

Listening to Lao Dao's words, I was speechless, I didn't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate to have such an irresponsible master, but I finally picked up the box and bowed deeply to Lao Dao, "Master, I'll come to see you when I'm free." ”

Whether I admit it or not, Lao Dao is my master, all of this may have been doomed as early as eighteen years ago, the kind of medicine I drank at that time, as well as the jade pendant, aren't they all preparing for today?

"Well, get out of here, so you don't have to disturb Lao Dao's sleep." Lao Dao waved his hand as if he didn't care.

Although Lao Dao was reluctant, I knew that this was definitely not what he really thought.

I hugged the box and turned to leave, the purple-red wooden box was about half a meter long, more than a palm wide, almost ten centimeters thick, the surface was smooth, the grain was delicate, the twist was like cow's hair, and there was a little bit of Venus on it.

It can't be red sandalwood, right? And is it the most precious Venus rosewood in the small-leaved red sandalwood?

I was immediately taken aback by my own thoughts, the reason why I know about red sandalwood is because when I was in the police academy, one of my classmates had a red sandalwood round stool handed down from the Qing Dynasty, which was said to be worth millions, and it was not less to show off in front of us.

And it's just an ordinary piece of rosewood furniture, if it is really the so-called Venus rosewood old object in my hand, it will definitely be more valuable.

If I don't mix well one day and sell this box, won't I have a house and a car? I hope that Lao Dao will not pursue it in the future.

I didn't go far down when I saw Qi Yan squatting on the stone steps in a daze, and the excitement I had before was long gone.

"Girl, let's go." When I came to Qi Yan's side, I couldn't help but scream when I saw that she didn't seem to notice.

"Hmph." Qi Yan stood up, glared at me, and walked straight down the mountain.

I shook my head and muttered to myself a little child.

After saying goodbye to my grandfather, aunt, and uncle, I drove Qi Yan and started to rush back, the reason why I was driving was because someone was losing his temper.

On the way, I called Zhang Wei.

"Zhang Wei, how are you checking over there?"

"Nothing found at the hotel? Are you in school now? That's right, you find her classmates in the dormitory, ask them if they have seen Li Sisi take it, or put a puppet next to her, and, by the way, investigate whether Li Sisi's fingers have been injured in a month, and pay attention to whether any of Li Sisi's friends and classmates around him are behaving strangely, especially boys, well, okay, I know, I can go back soon. ”

After hanging up Zhang Wei's phone, I called Li Sisi's father's phone again.

"Hey, Mr. Li, hello, I'm Liu Yang, the criminal police team, we just met in the morning, it's like this, have you ever seen something like a puppet around Li Sisi? No? Are you sure? Okay, I see, if you find anything weird, please contact me as soon as possible. ”

"What puppet?" Qi Yan finally couldn't hold it back, and asked curiously and with some disgust.

"Do you want to know about the puppet that solves the case?" When I saw her like this, I couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Cut, I don't want to know." Qi Yan snorted coldly and twisted his head to the side.

The corners of my mouth turned up slightly, and I didn't speak, the original psychology major was not learned in vain, and I didn't need to show three points to deal with this kind of little girl.

"Hey, are you going to say it or not?" Finally, Qi Yan couldn't bear it anymore and stared at me fiercely, as if if if I didn't say anything, I would fist each other the next moment.

"It's still uncertain, I suspect that someone used puppet techniques to control Li Sisi, let him commit suicide and detain Li Sisi's soul, and then use it to harm people or achieve some other purposes." I thought about it and tried to explain all this to Qi Yan in concise language.

"What? Puppet art? Qi Yan stared, his face incredulous.

"Yes, as long as I know your birthday, and take a little essence blood from you and write it on the ghost locust puppet, I can control you." With a thick hint in my tone, I said towards Qi Yan.

"Ahh

Qi Yan was unconsciously brought into that imagination by me, and her little face turned white, and I could even see a layer of small goosebumps on her body.

"Liu Yang..."

Sometimes it's absolutely scary to make a girl angry, I once again understood the true meaning of this sentence, and when I got off the car, my waist was already a big piece of green, about screwing and kissing, girls are easy to be self-taught in this regard, and cultivate to a high and profound realm.

"Hmph." Seeing me rubbing my waist with a bitter face, Qi Yan's little head was raised, and she left with a victorious expression on her face.

When he returned to the bureau, it was not yet four o'clock, and Zhang Wei was immersed in studying the case.

"Did you find anything?" I sat down opposite Zhang Wei and asked directly.

"Boss, you are so godly, how did you know that Li Sisi once had a puppet?" Zhang Wei asked excitedly when he saw me.

"Really? Any idea who sent it? I was shaken and immediately asked.

"This person is also surnamed Li, called Li Yuanshan, junior, vice president of the school club, this is his basic information, and at the same time, Li Sisi is also a member of the club." Zhang Wei handed me a document that he had put in order.

White and clean, wearing a pair of glasses, thin figure, ordinary appearance, this is my first impression after seeing Li Yuanshan's photo, indeed, judging from the photo alone, this Li Yuanshan belongs to the kind that will not be conspicuous if lost in the crowd.

"Didn't alarm the other party, did you?" I asked while looking at the information, this Li Yuanshan does not belong to that kind of person in school, but he also writes good articles, which are often published in school magazines, as a typical literary and artistic youth, he has more or less his own fans.

I haven't been in love for three years, I love root carving, and when I see this, my eyes are fixed.

"No, this is what I collected from the side." Zhang Wei added on the side, "Boss, this person can't be a murderer, right?" ”

"For now, there is a possibility, do you find anything else in the school investigation?" I continued.

"Nothing else." Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, and then patted his head, "By the way, last year, there was a haunted in this school, a girl who committed suicide by jumping off a building, and some people said that they had seen her again later, and this incident was in a uproar at that time." ”

"Suicide?" I frowned slightly, this is similar to Li Sisi, the same suicide, the same aftermath, I am more and more convinced that this Li Yuanshan is the murderer.

"Do you want to bring this Li Yuanshan back to investigate?" Zhang Wei saw me pondering and couldn't help but come up with an idea.

"On what grounds?" I gave him a blank look.

"Of course..." Zhang Wei opened his mouth, but the words behind him were not spoken, and now there is no evidence at all to prove that Li Sisi was killed by Li Yuanshan, could it be just speculation? Just based on a wood carving, you can determine that someone is a murderer?

If that's the case, then he's probably not far from packing up and going home.

"Do you know where this Li Yuanshan lives?" I asked again.
