Chapter Ninety-Five: Catching the Adulterer
"Senior Sister Meng, what are we looking for?"
In the hall of the academy, the five sons of the Nanshan League all sat among the mountains of files, burying their heads in the pages of the old paper and texts that made people's heads big. Now it is the time when the Sea Swallowing Gang has been destroyed and the city is full of joy, and they didn't have the opportunity to participate in such a big event, but were pulled over by Meng Zhixue early in the morning to rummage through all kinds of classics, and the depression in their mood can really be imagined......
"All the Qi Refiner files of Willow Lake City from sixteen years ago are here, and there is no omission......
Meng Qing'er put a thick stack of files in front of Meng Zhixue, moved her slender arms, and pouted: "What should be checked, who should be checked, you have to tell us, just flip through these old pieces of paper, what can you find?"
Meng Zhixue looked at the thick stack of files, was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm looking for someone Dan!"
"Ren Dan?"
The five sons of the Nanshan League were all surprised.
Yesterday, Ren Dan appeared in the Black Water Village of the Swallowing Sea Gang, and because of the destruction of the Black Water Village, the news of disappearing again has spread throughout Liuhu. Everyone believed that Chao Rong, the leader of the Sea Swallowing Gang, had already embezzled the Ren Dan. He did not hesitate to burn the village to provoke chaos, and escaped with Ren Dan, at this time it is possible that he has escaped from Liuhu, Meng Zhixue did not go to track the old dynasty, and fell in the pile of old papers to find what kind of person Dan?
"If my expectations are right, Ren Dan did not leave Liuhu!"
Meng Zhixue quickly flipped through the files, and at the same time said in a low voice: "Lao Chao doesn't need Ren Dan himself, he is a smart person, and he will not make the practice of exchanging his Heishui Village for Ren Dan." So he took the Ren Dan to disappear and provoked the destruction of Heishui Village, firstly, because he knew that since the appearance of the Human Dan in the Heishui Village had been discovered by everyone, the destruction of the Heishui Village was already an inevitable end, and secondly, he also wanted to take the Ren Dan to a person who needed the Human Pill the most......
Moving slightly, she said in a deep voice: "That person is in Liuhu!"
"Who is it?"
When everyone heard this, their hearts were also slightly cold, and they hurriedly asked: "Who is worthy of the old dynasty to do this?"
Meng Zhixue was silent for a long time, but still said the answer: "The original master of the old dynasty, the old master, Bai Shou!"
Rumble......
When everyone heard this, there was already a riot, and Meng Qing'er curiously came to test Meng Zhixue's forehead: "It's not burned, right?"
Meng Zhixue opened her hand, turned her head, sighed, and said, "You don't believe it?"
"The old master has been dead for more than ten years......"
Meng Qing'er said with a smile: "Back then, he was severely punished and forced to retire when he was exposed by the immortal master Fang Qi about the Tiger refining demon pill, plus many people fell into the well at that time, and simply pushed all the things about the demon refining pill on him, so that he was disheartened, and within a few years after retiring, he died of illness in the small courtyard, who doesn't know about this matter......
Looking at their surprised eyes, Meng Zhixue felt a little helpless.
She never said what she wanted to do, because she knew they would react this way.
Originally, she was also convinced of this matter in her heart, but at this time, in her mind, she couldn't help but remember what Fang Cun had said to herself before, and after being silent for a while, she whispered: "There are so many means of qi refiners, who can say for sure?"
Yu Qingli opened his mouth at this time: "So, Senior Sister Meng wants to search the file to see if the old courtyard master is really dead?"
Meng Zhixue nodded and said, "The time when the old courtyard master retreated, the strange things that happened in those years must be carefully investigated, and one place must not be let go!"
Several people from the surrounding Nanshan League, seeing that she was so serious, didn't say anything more and sat down separately. Although she felt in her heart that Meng Zhixue's suspicions were not necessarily right, since she raised her doubts, she should help her check it, and naturally she had to investigate it carefully.
They were all Qi Refiners, and during this time, they had already found out the files in all aspects of those years, and everyone quickly searched through them. Although it has been a long time and there are many missing files, the old courtyard owner was a pivotal figure in Liuhu City back then, and there were a lot of records about him.
"The old courtyard master is indeed dead, and when he was buried, the elders of the Nine Immortals Sect came to pay their respects, and they couldn't fake it......"
"After the old courtyard master retired, he lived in the courtyard for three years and six months, during this time, he seemed to have been remorseful, until he died, he never left the courtyard again, and he did not see outsiders, only a personal servant accompanied him......"
"Sometimes in the middle of the night, the old house owner will let out some mournful wails, like ghosts crying......"
"Hey, it was in those years that the Sea Swallowing Gang began to grow and gradually gained a reputation......
“......”
“......”
Everyone was flipping through the files, reporting their discoveries from time to time, while Meng Zhixue was also flipping through the files herself, while listening, and when Nie Quan mentioned a place she had discovered, she was suddenly slightly stunned, looked up and said, "What did you just say?"
Nie Quan was stunned, raised the file in his hand, and said: "It is recorded above that the Sea Swallowing Gang got up in those years, and the old dynasty also appeared in Liuhu City at that time. These gangsters in the rivers and lakes, after the immortal master left Liuhu City, or the Nine Immortal Sect, began to be arrogant, in the first few years, it was just a small fight, but in the last few years, they have begun to get bigger and bigger......"
Everyone looked at it, and they didn't know why Meng Zhixue paid attention to this.
And Meng Zhixue pondered slightly, and suddenly looked at He Zhenzhang again: "What did you see just now?"
He Zhenzhang was stunned, turned back two pages, and said: "After the old courtyard master retired, he lived in the small courtyard, and there was only one personal servant......"
Meng Zhixue's expression suddenly became solemn, and said: "If after the old courtyard master retired, there has always been a personal servant by his side, and the old dynasty began to show traces on the rivers and lakes of Liuhu City in those few years, then who is accompanying the old courtyard master?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this: "There is another person next to the old courtyard master?"
The old dynasty was the personal servant of the old master of the academy before, and it is not difficult to verify.
Although it has been quite a long time, there are still a lot of things that the elder Qi Refiners of Liuhu City still remember.
But no one knew about the old house owner who had another servant before his death!
Meng Zhixue's expression had become a little nervous and stern, and she said coldly: "Check, the problem must be on this personal servant!"
Everyone nervously searched through it, but after all, the time was too long, and these files were not very well kept, missing and blurred, and sometimes there were things about the servants around the old courtyard master, it was not easy to rummage. From time to time, I can find some traces of the glory of the dynasty, that is, the old dynasty, who followed the old courtyard master to serve, and another servant, sometimes I can see some traces of his existence, but for his true record, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air......
It's like a servant who has vanished......
"Miss Zhixue, I got the file you wanted, I brought it for you......"
At this time, Xu Wenwen brought a servant in Tsing Yi, holding a thick stack of files, to the academy, looked at Meng Zhixue buried in the file, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know why you are suddenly so interested in the confidential file of the city guard, it stands to reason that it should not be shown to you, but you get angry in front of the city guard, and we have to ......."
"Get it!"
When Meng Zhixue saw those files, she was slightly shocked and hurriedly asked him to bring them.
For her, this is also a surprise, she wants to see the file of the city guard, but as a student of the academy, she does not have this authority. Annoyed, she was also angry, and forced it a little, but she didn't expect it to be really sent.
Everyone was confused at this time, so they also hurried over, took the file and flipped through it.
Soon, Meng Qing'er suddenly let out a low voice, as if she was very shocked.
Meng Zhixue and the others hurriedly came to her side, looked down, and their faces changed greatly......
......
......
It was also at this time that Fang Cun gently asked Mr. Lanshuang's words.
Suddenly, among the green and light trees of the academy, the sound of birds and birds suddenly disappeared.
Mr. Lanshuang looked at Fang Cun quietly, while Fang Cun maintained a saluting posture and looked at him seriously.
After a while, Mr. Lanshuang smiled and gently placed the scroll in his hand on the desk. Looking at its blue seal, you can see that it is written with the words "Shen Jiu Dan Treatise", Mr. Lan Shuang is famous for his profound knowledge, not only to cultivate profoundly, but also to understand the "Book Sutra", "Array Sutra", "Instrument Sutra" and other means, but it is only until now that Fang Cun knows that he has also understood the method of alchemy.
"How did you find here?"
After a while, Mr. Lan Shuang smiled and said to Fang Cun: "Looking through the old files, did you still find something?"
"The disciple is lazy, too lazy to dig through the pile of old papers, so I use a more direct approach......"
Fang Cun opened his bookcase and took out a light blue glass bottle from it, you can see that there is a small thing like a firefly in the bottle, which is constantly flying, and it hits the bottle on Mr. Blue Frost's side from time to time, Fang Cun opened the lid, and saw that the little insect flew out, it seemed to be a little anxious, and it flew around in Mr. Blue Frost's cave and landed on a certain box.
"This is a mother and child worm, born a pair, if the juice of one of them is extracted and placed on one thing, then the other will give birth to induction no matter where it is, and thousands of mountains and rivers can be traced. Because it is colorless and tasteless, and even has no spirituality, it is difficult for qi refiners to detect, and some qi refiners often use this to track down their own Taoist companions, so some people call it a traitor worm!"
After a pause, Fang Cun said again: "I learned these skills from the notes of Lingxiu's students!"
"Catch the adulter...... Interesting!"
Mr. Lanshuang smiled, then shook his head lightly and sighed: "Unexpectedly, I ended up losing in the hands of Lingxiu!"
Fang Cun looked at him calmly, seemingly silent, but his eyes were slightly red.
