Chapter IX: Investigation
[Scout: 85/33 (Fail)]
"I'm ......!" Feng Xue took a bite of [Daxia Foul Mouth] stuck in his throat, and finally couldn't say a word, he could only sigh and exit the room, from now on, even if he lifted the house, he didn't want to find anything again.
Why is he so sure?
Because he once tested the priority of his golden finger -
That time, he threw a half-palm-sized tile into the room with his eyes closed, and then threw the dice.
After failing, he turned the house upside down, but he couldn't find any trace of the tile, and finally the servant came in and picked up the tile, and the location was at Feng Xue's feet-
He had passed by at least a dozen times, but he had not noticed a single one.
It's like an open eye.
......
After a while, two slow ox carts came from the intersection, looking at the ornaments, one belonged to Feng Xue's cousin, and the other was Wu Zhu's car.
The ox cart stopped, and two men in different clothes also stepped out of the cart with the help of the servants.
The young one is called Xu Qing, the county marquis of Sheyang County, twenty-eight years old, he doesn't have much ability, but he doesn't do things casually, although he looks at Feng Xue a little unpleasantly, but he hasn't really done anything wrong, but occasionally he will make things difficult in some small things.
The other Wu Zhu looked much older, looking about sixty years old, but still very young for his profession.
He is also surnamed Xu, and he is also a relative of Feng Xue in this life, but as early as dozens of generations ago, the Xu family became a prince, and when the Xu State was established, it was already separated, and it was used as the Wu Zhu of the Xu State for generations.
"Wu Zhu, county marquis. Feng Xue, the county order, and the officials stepped forward according to their dignity and humility, and saluted one after another, and then heard Xu Qing's solemn but slightly smug voice sound-
"Brother Feng, what big thing did you encounter that is worth bothering Wu Zhu to run in person?"
"The county marquis doesn't know, this matter has to start with a murder this morning. Feng Xue used a businesslike attitude to tell the story as it was, but her eyes were always fixed on Wu Zhu's state.
"Bone ......"
Just as he said that the corpse and the remains of the soft-shelled turtle had disappeared, the sound of dice suddenly sounded in his head-
[Metaphysics: 07/60 (Success)] (I almost saw it as 70, it really scared me to death)
With the success of Wu Zhu's metaphysical skills, Wu Zhu, who had been silent and expressionless, finally shook his brows, and his eyes seemed to be a little flustered, but soon, he disappeared again in the eyes that seemed to be ancient wells, buried by deep wrinkles.
"Where did you buy the soft-shelled turtle, what does it look like, and who has eaten it?"
Three questions in a row came out of Wu Zhu's mouth, and the county order immediately asked people to drag Mi Shi over, and when Mi Shi saw Wu Zhu coming, his face suddenly turned dead, and he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Tell me what you wanted, or I'll kill you now!"
Things have come to this point, and everyone understands that there is a big trouble, and Luo Xianling kicked Nami even more irritably.
However, at this step, Mi finally came back to his senses, and after a little thought, he immediately replied:
"I bought the soft-shelled turtle from the fishermen in Jiangkou, and it looks like a soft-shelled turtle, and only my grandson has eaten it......"
"How many nostrils does the soft-shelled turtle have?" Wu Zhu asked a somewhat inexplicable question, Mi wanted to answer two immediately, but seeing that Wu Zhu's face was wrong, he thought about it carefully before shaking his head and saying with a little weakness:
"I didn't look closely......"
"What did Wu Zhu see?" At this time, Xu Qing didn't have the intention of taking the opportunity to embarrass Feng Xue, he could see that his cousin was not lying, and this incident could indeed threaten the entire Sheyang County.
"I'm not sure yet, wait a minute, I'll ask Chenghuang to talk about it. Wu Zhu's face was serious, and he asked the people who came with the car to take out all kinds of materials and prepare to open the altar to invite God.
In this era, the cultivation system of the human race has not yet been completely formed, the monks are basically disciples of the three religions, there is almost no loose cultivation, and the cultivation method is still in the stage of reciting the Yellow Court every day, the requirements for talent are extremely high, and the entry of the human race is very small, and the real established system is only derived from the sanctification of the three emperors (the sages of the human race, seeing the saint is undefeated, and the human race is entrusted to the human race rather than the way of heaven, because it involves the luck of the human race, and no major event can not be moved), that is, the incense and fire wish power system.
However, it is precisely because of the need for incense and willingness that the Chenghuang Yin Division always has to do something for the yang world, and if he insists on saying it, it is probably similar to the feeling of grassroots civil servants, although he can live forever, he always has to do some errands, and his status is not high.
Accompanied by Wu Zhu's burning incense and praying, chanting incantations, the surrounding air became a little gloomy, and then, a man dressed as an official, but with a slightly transparent body, appeared in front of the altar out of thin air, and greeted Wu Zhu, and then asked:
"The little god is the city god of Sheyang County, I don't know what the witch is calling, what's the matter?"
"Chenghuang is exempt, there is a murder case in Sheyang County this morning, which may involve monsters, and it is convenient for Chenghuang to recruit the dead soul to come and ask one or two. Wu Zhu arched his hand, and ordered three more high-grade sandalwood sticks as a tip, and then Chenghuang smiled and nodded:
"Well, what is the name of the deceased?"
"Rice into a device. The county magistrate didn't wait for Wu Zhu to ask, and immediately spoke, and when Chenghuang heard this, he stretched out his hand, and immediately a pamphlet appeared in his hand.
This booklet is a sub-volume of the book of life and death, and it does not have the function of dividing life and death, but it records the detailed information of everyone who died in the local area, which is convenient for Yin Si to manage.
But when the city god turned a few pages, his face became ugly, and he turned it over and over several times, and then he closed the book with confirmation, and said solemnly:
"There is no record, not yesterday, not today. ”
The Book of Life and Death doesn't care about the real name and pseudonym.,The name is just an index similar to a search engine.,As long as it's been used.,It can be inducted with the soul body.,Checked by the Book of Life and Death.,Now there's no record in this fascicle.,Either the soul was taken by something.or,It's simply gone.。
Wu Zhu sighed, his face became more and more solemn, and he hesitated a little:
"I wonder if I can apply to inspect the master book of life and death?"
Yes, the main book, if the fascicle is only a list of the dead, then the main book, along with the cause of death and life, will also be recorded, and even the current location of the soul and the current location of the murderer of this person can be easily found. Back then, when the judge checked Feng Xue's life, he used the projection of the main book of life and death.
"This ......" Chenghuang heard this request, but his brows furrowed, this Yin Cao system is essentially a little similar to the official system, the grassroots personnel are not bad, even if they are greedy, they can do things if they give enough benefits, but when it comes to the top, then hehe, it's not that the other party doesn't do things, but you don't have a chance to meet at all!
Not to mention the treasure of the main book of life and death, only a few top high-level officials such as judges and Yan Jun are qualified to view it, imagine that in the feudal era, for the sake of a person, and it was also the cause of death of a dead person, let a small official report to the head of a country, is it okay not to bring such a trick?
Wu Zhu was not surprised when he heard this, and said as if he had expected it:
"This matter may involve tens of thousands of people in Sheyang County, and may even radiate the surrounding counties, if it is successful, there must be a lot of humanitarian merits, and the incense will naturally not be less, but if there is a problem, this Sheyang County, it is inevitable that people and animals will be cut off, and it will be ...... when the time comes."
Wu Zhu didn't continue, but Chenghuang already understood, Sheyang County is gone, so what else does he, Sheyang County Chenghuang, want him to do?
................................................
ps: Regarding the protagonist of heaven and earth, in the worldview of this book, the protagonist of heaven and earth is the ethnic group favored by heaven, but it should be noted that there is no so-called heavenly protagonist in this book, not that Tiandao thinks that you are the protagonist when he sees you, but that you are the protagonist of heaven and earth when you are prosperous.
At the time of the Lich War, the Wu and the Demon Clan were the most prosperous, so at that time, the Wu and the Demon Clan were the protagonists of heaven and earth, and Nuwa had merit in creating people because of the cheap labor, cannon fodder generators, and high-quality food provided the Wu and the demon clan, rather than creating the protagonist, and the position of the protagonist of the human race in heaven and earth was fought for by herself.
To put it simply, you can think of the Heavenly Dao as the collective subconscious of the desolate creatures, similar to the kind of Alayya, your race is prosperous and the population is large, and the Heavenly Dao as the collective subconscious naturally has many elements belonging to the human race, and of course it is biased towards the human race.
To give an inappropriate example, it is not because the teacher takes care of Xueshen that the Xueshen grades are good, but because the Xueshen has good grades, the teacher will take care of it.
