Chapter 13: The Iron Painting Pavilion

The two of them told the story of the case, and when they said that the monster suddenly disappeared without a trace, except for the secretary sitting on the main seat, his face was relaxed.

The other two helmsmen looked solemn, they had never touched this kind of monster.

Yuan Xiu asked, "Is there really no trace?" Elsewhere, looking? ”

"Yes!"

He clenched the scabbard in his hand and looked at Si Zheng, this monster is probably more difficult to deal with than he imagined!

Qin Gang had some guesses in his heart, he stroked his gray beard, pondered for a moment, and bowed slightly, "According to what you said, that illusion demon beast is probably not using dirty water as a medium,"

Everyone present, except for Li Huaiyun, was extremely surprised.

Li Huaiyun had this speculation before, and now that Si Zheng has spoken, he is even more convinced of his judgment.

After all, he is a minister, and he is still well-informed.

"It's human hair,"

Li Huaiyun recalled again, what happened in the water prison, the hair was indeed very suspicious.

"That monster happened to appear in the water prison, which made you misjudge."

Qin Gang continued to ask, "What about the corpses?" ”

Li Huaiyun continued, "The subordinates brought it up, cut the body open, investigated further, and finally, found an abnormality in the back of the corpse's head, and after cutting the skull, it was also found that there was a paper with a sigil on it. ”

"You cut open the skull?"

"Yes! Because the wound is so obvious! ”

Qin Gang looked at him with admiration, "You guy is really taboo-free!" Aren't you afraid? ”

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the head is known as the container of the three souls and seven spirits, and the three souls of spirit, jue, and life contain a person's life, so if someone wantonly destroys, he will be punished by heaven.

What are you afraid of! I only believe in science, even though there are a lot of things here that science can't explain.

"I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, how can I find out the truth of the matter."

At this time, applause rang out on the side, and Liu Pingzhong clapped his hands and praised, "There are too few such fearless people,"

He glanced at Yuan Xiu, "Stuffy gourd!" This man is a waste to you, give it to me! ”

"No way!"

"You can't teach him anything!"

Yuan Xiu glared at Liu Pingzhong with disdain, "What can you teach, he is above you in every aspect except for cultivation!" ”

When Liu Pingzhong heard this, he was so angry that he almost wanted to make a move, but he finally held back.

"Didn't you always want that painting? I'll give it to you! ”

"I don't want it now!"

When Li Huaiyun saw this meeting, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, if this was two girls like flowers and jade, it would be okay to be jealous for themselves, two men, always made him feel that he was zero.

"What are you arguing about!" Qin Gang patted the armrest of the chair, and he glared at the two helmsmen sitting there, "If you want to fight for people, you two will fight privately by yourself, don't make a noise for me here." ”

Si Zheng's words instantly made the two people who were arguing stop fighting each other.

"You go on!"

Li Huaiyun turned his head, snickered, and then looked serious, "It's a pity that later, that body was taken away by the people of the military department!" They took away the corpses in such a hurry, there must be a ghost in their hearts! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the media problem that Si Zheng said, and thinking of this, he slapped his thigh violently, "Oops, that monster hasn't actually disappeared!" Rather, it is back in the medium. ”

Qin Gang smiled, this guy reacted a little slower, "I just thought of it now!" ”

Li Huaiyun sighed, "That is to say, the monster is back in the hair of that corpse, and the people from the military department brought the corpse back, isn't it... ”

"Leave them alone! The corpse was brought back by themselves, and if something happened, they were also responsible for it! ”

Qin Gang didn't think so, his appearance was extraordinarily scheming, "If the Ministry of War can't solve it, you need to find us to kill the demon division, and when the time comes, they will still come to the door and explain everything clearly." ”

This old fox! Li Huaiyun muttered in his heart.

What Qin Gang is most worried about now is the seal of the Trapped Demon Land, a high-level monster like the Transfiguration Demon Beast, if it is not a problem with the seal, then only a person with extremely high cultivation can tame this demon beast when he enters the Land of Trapped Demons.

Who can have such cultivation among those who have mastered the Dao Gate Yin Technique today?

Although Liu Pingzhong is the helmsman of the Demon Slaying Division, he is also a scholar, so he felt extremely angry at the unreasonableness of the Ministry of War, and directly slapped the handrail hard, "The Ministry of War doesn't take our Demon Slayer Division in its eyes at all!" ”

"This case has been handed over to our Demon Slayer Division! They forcibly intervened and wounded our people. ”

Yuan Xiu corrected with a calm face, "It's someone from my Sword Pavilion." ”

"What's the point at this time?"

Qin Gang raised his hand and pressed it, signaling him not to get excited, "Pingzhong!" Calm down and calm down! The Demon Slayer Division will not have a conflict with the imperial court department, and I will make this matter clear to the emperor! ”

"Just what I just said, when something happens, the military department will naturally explain it in person!"

Li Huaiyun interjected, "I'm worried that something may not happen." ”

The crowd looked at him.

He explained, "What if this monster was brought by someone from the military department! ”

Qin Gang responded, "The military department took away the corpse, that means that the Demon Slayer Division will focus on monitoring the military department, as well as the imperial city, I don't believe it, they are only to kill a thief, and there is no follow-up." ”

Li Huaiyun quite agreed with Si Zheng's view.

"You go on!"

Li Huaiyun pondered for a moment, "Before, we were tracking down the monsters found in Kyoto, and the corpses of the water prison, in these two cases, the same thing appeared, that is, the paper with charms drawn, now we should first confirm whether these two charms belong to the same kind, if so, this may indicate that the two cases must have some kind of connection!" ”

"In that way, we can follow the two clues and track it down together, so we should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Great idea!" Qin Gang agreed with this approach and once again looked at Li Huaiyun with expectation.

"What a pity! The corpse was taken away by the military department," Li Huaiyun said regretfully, "otherwise we can make a comparison immediately." ”

Liu Pingzhong stood up and said to Li Huaiyun, "You have seen that charm, can you recall the general structure of the painting inside?" ”

"This, remember some of the specific structure!"

"That's fine, just a little bit of detail, and that's fine!" Liu Pingzhong of the Iron Pen Pavilion said, and he took out a particularly delicate brush from his arms.

The tip of this brush is made of a feather on the top of a feather from a bird that lives in the swamp, and the body of the pen is made of golden silk nanmu with a special pattern engraved on it.

He took out another piece of rice paper, spread it on the table next to him, and then said to Li Huaiyun, "You draw the general shape of the charm, and I can copy the charm in your memory with some details." ”

Yes! Li Huaiyun was quite surprised by the ability of this hall master, this can't be the ancient version of AI drawing, right?

"You don't believe it?" Looking at his expression, Liu Pingzhong knew that the other party didn't believe in him very much.

"No, Master Liu, you misunderstood, your subordinates are just curious, how are you going to copy this?"

"Imitate with the ability to never forget!"

"Any pattern will do?"

"That's nature."

Li Huaiyun rubbed his face, raised the corners of his mouth, and muttered, "Then if I give a picture of a beautiful woman, can you take the clothes?" ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Liu Pingzhong frowned, thinking to himself, what the hell is this kid thinking? Looks like this guy is a bit greedy for beauty.

Li Huaiyun realized that his words were a little out of place! Immediately explained, "I mean change into something else that looks good." ”

With an embarrassed smile on his face, he walked to the rice paper, and then based on his memory, he roughly drew the runes on the skull, and then this Liu Pingzhong, using the ink-stained iron pen, further perfected the runes on the rice paper.

Looking at Master Liu who was waving a brush in front of the rice paper, he was even more curious about this, how did this person do it?

Li Huaiyun took a few steps back, stood beside Qin Gang, and saluted with his fists, "Si Zheng, can I ask, what is the trick to this?" ”

"You didn't hear him say, don't forget it!"

"But Master Liu Helm has never been to the water prison, and he has never seen that rune!"

"How do you know he hasn't seen it? said that this guy has a glance and ten lines, and he has the ability to never forget, he is well-read, and he must have dabbled in books on Taoism, so that he can roughly restore this charm with his own memory. ”

Li Huaiyun then understood what was going on, it turned out to be a human brain AI, highlighting a good memory,

Not long after, Liu Pingzhong finally put away the pen, then picked up the paper and put it in front of Si Zheng, "I think it should be about the same!" ”

Qin Gang raised his hand and asked Li Huaiyun beside him to take a closer look if it was the sigil he saw in the skull.

Ah Tian also wanted to go up and take a look, after all, he had seen that sigil before, but he felt that he might not remember it very clearly, so he didn't dare to step forward again.

Li Huaiyun leaned over and looked at the spell on the rice paper, which was indeed similar to what he saw.

"This should be the spell!"

Qin Gang's finger lightly tapped on the rice paper, "It's okay!" It seems that the two cases are related to each other. ”

"This kind of spell comes from a branch of the Dao Sect, Yin Magic!" He looked at Li Huaiyun who was standing aside, "Okay, you can continue!" ”

Li Huaiyun bowed his head and continued, "The passers-by in our case of investigating the monsters, as well as the thieves who died in the water prison, they were all tragically attacked by the Yin Magician. ”

"One of the surprising things was the thief, he didn't steal anything! But he was locked up in a water prison, and then he died tragically there, and there must be something hidden in it. ”

"My guess is that this thief saw something that shouldn't be seen at the home of the military officer, so he was wanted and died in the water prison."

"Therefore, there are two levels of relationship between this, the Yin Magician was in contact with the monster in Kyoto, and the Yin Magician also had contact with the official of the Ministry of War."

Qin Gang stood up and put his hands behind his back, "These people came to Kyoto, they didn't simply do evil!" ”

"What are they plotting!"

Li Huaiyun tapped his head and agreed with Si Zheng's guess, "Yes, we have to hurry up, and we must find out what these people are doing as soon as possible." ”

Qin Gang turned his back to them, looking at the mountain view on the wall of the main hall, he pondered for a moment and then pondered, "Pingzhong, pass on my order and bring the official from the military department back for interrogation, that guy must have a problem!" By the way, take someone to search the house, maybe you can find any clues. ”

When Liu Pingzhong received the order, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted and left the hall.

Li Huaiyun felt that this Demon Slaying Division was a bit like a spy department, and he couldn't help but ask, "Si Zheng, can the Demon Slaying Division still investigate like this?" ”
