Volume 1: The Case of Linzhou Genius Chapter 14: Seven Honors and Twelve Texts
The pavilions and pavilions are beautiful, and the swimming fish enjoy the spring together.
Duan Ming wandered around the courtyard under the guidance of the housekeeper.
"This Lord Fang is worthy of being the prince's companion, and his talent can be seen just by the scene in the house." Duan Ming couldn't help but admire.
"That's it." The housekeeper on the side said with a smile: "My family is talented, even in the entire Great Qi Country, he is ranked first." ”
"Indeed." Duan Ming nodded: "I heard that your family invited him to return to his hometown. With all due respect, I originally thought that your family was a shallow person and nothing, so I was like this, and I never thought about ......it."
"Nothing?" The corners of the housekeeper's mouth twitched slightly: "This lord, although you are a distinguished guest of my house, you are not allowed to slander my lord at will." ”
"Don't mind, don't mind. I also said it, I thought it was before. Duan Ming said with a smile: "But why did your family invite you back to your hometown?" Obviously so talented. ”
"This ...... The adults in my family, the little ones dare not say much. The butler said.
"Okay, by the way, where does your little boy live? Take me to see it. Seeing the housekeeper's expression, Duan Ming knew that he probably couldn't say anything, so he changed the topic and said.
"Please come with me." The housekeeper nodded and led Duan Ming towards a mansion.
And at this moment, in a room, Xing Qianqiu was sitting with Lord Fang looking at each other.
"Criminal Commander...... Lord Fang's fingers gently turned the teacup, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to make a noise, but I can't make a noise. ”
"Why?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"Well, I saw it that day, and it was related to them." Master Fang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
"Are you sure?" Xing Qianqiu frowned.
"I'm sure." Lord Fang nodded: "I was forced to resign and retire back then, I thought that I could save my life when I came to the land of Linzhou, but I never thought that I would still be targeted by them." ”
"So, Ling Lang's death ......" Xing Qianqiu tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"I guess it has something to do with them." Master Fang nodded.
"Then why didn't you notify us in time?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"Tell the truth, Commander Torture. I believe you alone in the entire Spiegel Division. Master Fang said in a deep voice: "Others, I can't believe it. ”
"I'm sorry for you, Lord Fang." Xing Qianqiu sighed.
"Alas, if it weren't for my family, I would have fought to the death!" Lord Fang gritted his teeth and said, "By the way, Commander Torture, their actions seem to be a little too active recently, there must be some conspiracy, you have to be careful." ”
"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Lord Fang, you too." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely stay here, and sooner or later they will pay the price!" Lord Fang nodded, and his voice changed: "By the way, Commander Torture, the one who came with you is afraid that it is not the lame sixth man in Nancheng, right?" ”
"Exactly, Lord Fang knows about this person?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Master Fang suspiciously.
"Haha, when he came into my house with a kid to steal something to eat, my mother found out and asked someone to drive him out with a stick." Lord Fang smiled and shook his head: "By the way, what else did he say that year?" Oh, yes, 'Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth'. ”
"Hedong? Hexi? Xing Qianqiu couldn't help but shake his head: "Still stealing things?" No wonder he said that the officials of the entire Linyang City knew each other......"
Just as Xing Qianqiu was talking to Lord Fang, Duan Ming had already led the housekeeper to Fang Wei's small courtyard.
Although it had been more than half a month since Fang Wei died, and even the corpse had been stored in the Spiegel Division a little rancid, this small courtyard was still clean and spotless.
When he came to Fang Wei's room, Duan Ming saw that the various displays and furnishings here were still the slightest different from the original, as if someone was still reading and writing here just now.
"The adults said that everything here should not be moved, even if it is a daily cleaning, it is just to clean up the floating dust." There was a hint of sadness in the housekeeper's eyes: "I think of the young master of my family, who is talented and not inferior to adults, why did he die young for no reason." ”
"Does Fang Wei have enemies on weekdays?" Duan Ming came to the bookcase and looked at it carefully.
"Naturally, no." The housekeeper wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "The young master of my family has always been gentle and elegant, humble and courteous, and never has a grudge against others. ”
"Oh." Duan Ming gently flipped through the books on the bookcase, and suddenly a blank piece of paper burst out of the book and slowly fell to the ground.
Duan Ming picked up the white paper on the ground in confusion, and his face suddenly changed when he saw it.
I saw that there was an incomparably complex symbol drawn on this white paper, which was unusual, and it was seven or eight points similar to the symbol in the strange book of "Sigh of Eternal Life".
Duan Ming stared at this symbol carefully, his thoughts were tumbling like a stormy wave, and many things he didn't understand when he studied that book before was actually somewhat figured out under this mutual reflection.
"Is this Fang Wei's?" Duan Mingqiang suppressed the shock in his heart and looked up at the housekeeper.
"Yes." The butler looked at it, then nodded, "This seems to be an Immortal Sect rune." ”
"Immortality?" Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Immortal...... Does it have anything to do with "Sigh of Eternal Life"? ”
"Mr. Duan." At this moment, Xing Qianqiu and Master Fang walked over.
"Did you find anything?" Xing Qianqiu came to Duan Ming's side.
"No, I'm just a little curious when I saw this symbol." Duan Ming shook his head and said.
"This? Oh. Xing Qianqiu nodded: "This is one of the twelve runes of the Immortal Sect, haven't you seen it in the past?" ”
"I haven't seen it." Duan Ming said, "What kind of sect is this Immortal Sect? ”
"Dewu is the Fa-rectification, and the cultivation is long-lived." Master Fang stepped forward and said, "The Immortal Sect is the number one religion in my Qi country, and there are many disciples in the sect, almost all over the entire Qi country. ”
"State religion? I've never heard of it before. Duan Ming sighed, he still knew too little, and he didn't know such important information.
Then Duan Ming handed the white paper in his hand to Xing Qianqiu: "What did you just say about the twelve runes?" So what's going on? ”
"Oh, that's right, the Immortal Sect has seven deities and twelve texts." Master Fang said, "These seven Venerables are the seven Venerables of the Hall of Eternal Life, and they are in charge of everything in the Hall of Eternal Life. The so-called 'Twelve Runes' are the twelve apologetic runes of the Hall of Eternal Life, and it is said that if you can understand these twelve runes, then you can attain immortality. ”
"I see, apologetic runes?" Duan Ming nodded: "So, there should be another such rune in the Immortal Sect?" But why is it here in Linglang? ”
"The Immortal Sect is different from many sects." Xing Qianqiu said: "The Immortal Sect has sent twelve runes to the whole country, no matter who it is, as long as they can study the true meaning of the runes, then they can join the Immortal Sect, and it is not impossible to even directly rank as a Venerable." ”
"It is said that these runes have extremely profound abilities." Lord Fang added, "The Seven Hall Masters have a lot of methods that are difficult for ordinary people to understand because they have studied runes quite deeply. ”
"Research out the true meaning of the rune......" Duan Ming fell into deep thought: "Have a means that are difficult for ordinary people to understand? So ...... make dry ice"
"Wait, that's not right." Xing Qianqiu suddenly frowned, looked at the runes on the paper in his hand and said, "I have also seen the runes of the Immortal Sect, but there are some differences with this one. ”
"Really?" Master Fang took the paper, and his brows furrowed: "It's indeed a little different. ”
Then Lord Fang looked at the butler: "Do you know where Wei'er got this from?" ”
"I heard the young master say that it was given to the young master by Ji Gongzi." The butler said.
"Ji Gongzi? Ji Qianfan! Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Lord Fang, maybe Ling Lang's death has a direct relationship with this. ”
"Then there is a labor and torture commander who will be able to see what is going on!" Lord Fang nodded and handed the paper to Xing Qianqiu.
"Okay, we've said everything that needs to be said, so let's not bother and leave first." Xing Qianqiu patted Duan Ming's shoulder and said to Lord Fang.
"Okay, go slowly." Lord Fang clenched his fists again: "Thank you for the concern of the criminal commander." ”
Then Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu left the Fang Mansion together......
