Chapter 11 Smell the money and move
The burden opened was a brocade box, and when the brocade box was opened, there was a small jar inside, and when the small jar was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out.
Ji Chen suddenly felt a shock in his heart, cleared up a little, and turned his head to see that the jar was blood-red, and there was a trace of light on the surface.
"This is? Blood roar cinnabar? ”
"The Taoist chief really knows the goods, this is the blood roaring cinnabar. My ancestors also had cultivators like Taoists, and this blood roar cinnabar was left by my ancestors. I don't know its efficacy, but I believe it must be extraordinary, otherwise it would not have been regarded as a family heirloom of my Zhao family for more than 200 years. If the Taoist chief is willing to go down the mountain to find out what happened, I am willing to give this blood roar cinnabar with my hand. ”
The blood roar cinnabar is extracted from the blood of the orangutans during the foundation building period. It is one of the second-order spirit runes of high-grade cinnabar, and it is also sold in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, but the price is only a small box of nearly a thousand spirit stones, and this jar is afraid that it is worth no less than three thousand spirit stones.
And even if it is not used to make second-order spirit runes, but used to make first-order spirit runes, the probability of the best spirit runes is much higher.
Ji Chen's heart was moved, but he still had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
"It's a good thing, and it works for me. But I want to make it clear first, if it endangers my life, I won't fight for my life! ”
Seeing that Ji Chen was relieved, Zhao Yuanwai also breathed a sigh of relief.
"No problem, no problem, everything is up to the Dao Chief, as long as the Dao Leader does his best."
"Okay, I'll visit the house in three days."
"Okay, I'll be at home to greet you!"
Zhao Yuanwai happily walked out, leaving the jar of blood roaring cinnabar.
At night, in the Zhao Mansion.
"Master, why did you give that family heirloom to the chief, it was passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors, and I plan to pass it on to our grandson, we can spend money to invite someone else." Mrs. Zhao complained there.
"It's too late, this real person who is a little famous within a radius of hundreds of miles in Luoyun County, Lord Wu has been invited, and most of them are abducted and deceived. I finally invited two people with a little ability, who were found early in the morning last time and drowned in the Luoyun River. ”
"Then you don't need to use our family heirlooms, why don't you use him Wu Dayuan."
"Lord Wu's son and our daughter are married, and after so many years of communication, we have long been with them with both glory and loss. This case is because of the death of the son of the county guard, the pressure has been put on above, and it is not clear if you can't find it out, Lord Wu will not be able to protect Wusha at the least, and the head will fall to the ground at the worst, you don't want your daughter to become a widow. ”
Mrs. Zhao sighed.
"I hope this Taoist has some real kung fu, otherwise ......"
Three days later, Ji Chen appeared at the door of Zhao Yuanwai, who was already waiting there.
"Dao Chief, you're finally here, hurry up and please come inside."
Entering the lobby, the meal had been prepared here, and there were still three people sitting at the table, and Ji Chen was pulled by Zhao Yuanwai to sit down.
"Dao Chief, let me introduce you. The one sitting next to me is our Luoyun County Commander, Lord Wu. The few next to him were Master Lin, Master Xingzhi and Wang Zhutou. ”
Ji Chen nodded his head one by one, and when he saw the Xingzhi monk, Xingzhi glared back provocatively, which immediately made Ji Chen frown, and his disgust for this person soared.
"I didn't offend you, why are you staring at me?" Ji Chen thought in his heart.
"It's really making us wait, I don't know where this Taoist master is from, and which Taoist temple he is practicing in?" Master Lin asked in a weird manner.
"Idle clouds and wild cranes, wherever you go, you can practice. There is no door, no faction, happy and leisurely. Ji Chenyun replied lightly.
Master Lin let out a meaningful "oh", and the Xingzhi beside him also smiled contemptuously and said "Amitabha".
"Okay, now that we all know each other, Wang Zhutou, you know this matter best, you can tell the ins and outs of the matter to Daoist Jichen and Master Xingzhi." Lord Wu of the county commanded and spoke.
"Yes!"
It is said that more than a month ago, on the official road not far from Luoyun County, a Changchun Garden was opened, and it is said that the girls inside are all flowers and moons, bewitching figures, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially the leading women, that playing, that dancing, not to mention how charming.
Not only Luoyun County, but also the dignitaries and dignitaries of the nearby three cities and eighteen counties often come to make music, and the reputation of Luoyun County has spread for a while.
At that time, I began to hear that people often disappeared there. It's just that because there are too many merchants in the past, everyone goes home after having fun, maybe they encounter a jackal and wild boar on the road, or they get lost and fall down the cliff and river, and lose their lives, and everyone doesn't take it seriously.
Until half a month ago, the second son of the county guard didn't know where to learn about the reputation of this Changchun Garden, and he also came here to have fun, but he disappeared the next day, and later someone found a dried corpse by the river, wearing the clothes of the second son, and the jade pendant of the second son was pinned to his waist.
The county guard was furious and ordered the prefect of Sanshan Castle to find out the truth within a month, otherwise he would lose his head. The prefect of Sanshan City ordered the county order of Luoyun County to find out within half a month, otherwise the county would be in jeopardy.
At this time, the county ordered Wu Da to pay attention to it and asked his subordinates to investigate it carefully.
It's okay not to check, but after careful investigation, it turns out that during this time, a total of more than 30 people were missing, and in the end more than 20 bodies were found, and the rest are missing.
Those who found the corpses were turned into dried corpses, with no flesh and blood on their bodies, as if they had been sucked dry by ghosts. Therefore, Lord Wu suspected that it was a ghost and a monster, so he invited the surrounding "Daoist" masters to come and find out.
But either they just disappear with it, or they just don't work out.
Seeing that the half-month deadline was approaching, and the matter was still unresolved, Lord Wu became anxious.
"Yes, this matter is also imminent, and I hope that the two of you will do their best to help the official find out, and the official will definitely be rewarded afterwards." Lord Wu said excitedly.
"Oh, who is this master?" Ji Chen asked puzzled.
Master Lin immediately accosted and said, "This is a disciple of Zen Master Guangming of Tuoshan Temple, Master Xingzhi. Because Master Wu had some friendship with Zen Master Guangming, Zen Master sent his disciples to help. ”
On the surface, Master Lin said that this line of knowledge was invited by Master Wu, but in fact, he was invited by Master Lin, in order to compete with that Zhao Yuanwai.
Because this Master Lin has followed Master Wu for many years, he has a daughter under his knees, and he and Master Wu are childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and they were originally going to tie the knot. But later I learned that Master Wu and Zhao Yuanwai had known each other for a long time, and they also set up a baby kiss.
For the happiness of his daughter and his own future, he made great efforts to invite Xingzhi, hoping to make a contribution to the mysterious death of the county guard, so as to snatch this family affair.
"Oh, that's good, more people are easier to do, more people have more strength. You're right, Master Xingzhi? Ji Chen quipped.
"Amitabha, sometimes one more person may not necessarily have more strength, and it may also be more burdensome, you say yes, Ji Dao Chang."
Ji Chen smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
"Okay, I hope the two of you will cooperate wholeheartedly to find out this matter as soon as possible, so that the people of Luoyun County can relax as soon as possible."
"It's good to say, it's good to say, the poor monk must do his best to help the adults find out about this. If it is indeed done by demons, the poor monk will definitely kill the demons and eliminate the demons, and he will not be soft. It won't be like some people, there are a lot of fake tricks, but there is no real ability. ”
Ji Chen drank silently and did not respond, which also made Lord Wu look up.
On the wine table, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, a group of people had their own ghosts, only Ji Chen was eating silently there, showing his signature smiling face from time to time to deal with it.
