Chapter 12: The Two Gaoyi (Ask for Collection!)
That morning, the villagers of Qishui noticed two strange people in the county. They were a young Taoist and a young monk.
The monk's face was purple, and his robe was covered with dust.
The Taoist spread his legs and walked with a sway.
These two people are Ma Daoren and Xuan'e monk.
The two had a brawl in the wild, and Monk Xuan'e was hit by an old punch, and his cheeks were swollen like buns.
Ma Daoren was hit by the peach stealing mudra of the monk Xuan'e, and the pain in his crotch was unbearable, and his legs could not be brought together.
"Look...... You see......"
"How can that man walk like a crab!"
"Haha......"
"That monk too, one with big eyes and one with small ......"
......
The villagers pointed at the two of them.
"Little monk, your kid has made a mistake, and he doesn't look like a person in Buddhism at all......"
Ma Daoren was treated like monkeys by the villagers, and his old face couldn't help but blush, and he complained to the monk Xuan'e.
"Hiss......"
Ma Daoren accidentally took a big step, pulled it across, and gasped in pain.
"...... each other"
Monk Xuan'e rubbed the bruises on his face and said, "Ma Dao Chang is not too much!"
"Humph......"
The two glanced at each other, only to feel disgusted with each other, and at the same time snorted coldly, and each turned his head.
At this time, the villagers on the street have gathered more and more, and many people have called friends to watch the strange shapes of Ma Daoren and Xuan'e monks.
In the end, the face of the monk Xuan'e is still inferior to that of the Ma Dao people.
Seeing more and more onlookers, he couldn't bear this scene, so he immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped out of the distance.
As soon as the monk slipped away, the villagers came to watch the Ma Daoren.
After all, his appearance is much more interesting than that of Monk Xuan'e.
At this time, the Ma Dao people couldn't stand it.
......
The two trotted all the way to the gate of the county government in Qishui County.
After tidying up his clothes a little, Ma Daoren knocked on the door of the county office.
"Who are you?"
It didn't take long for the door to open from the inside.
The porter looked at these two strange-looking Taoists and monks, and asked suspiciously.
"I'm tired of it, so let's say that Xuan'e of Buda Temple and Ma Yangshu of Qingheng Mountain came to meet the county magistrate!"
"Wait!"
The porter replied and closed the door again.
Not long after, Ding Wenshan, the commander of Qishui County, personally greeted him.
"Daoist Ma, Master Xuan'e, I didn't expect you to come so quickly. Please come in ......"
Ding Xianling is an old man over half a hundred years old, with a charitable face, looking like a neighbor's parent.
"I've seen Ding County's ......"
"I've seen Ding County's ......"
Ma Dao people, Xuan Er monk each gave a salute.
"Please come in...... Please go ......"
Ding Wenshan looked quite enthusiastic and welcomed the two in.
After entering the county office, the three of them sat down, and Ding Wenshan instructed the officials to serve tea to the two Ma Daoren.
"Two, what is this?"
Seeing the bruises on Monk Xuan'e's face and the strange sitting posture of Ma Daoren, Ding Xian Ling didn't hold back his gossip soul and couldn't help asking.
"The road here was a bit bumpy, and the two of us accidentally fell!" Monk Xuan'e said with his hands folded and his face unchanged.
It is worthy of being from the Buffa Temple, and when he lies, his face is not red and his heart does not beat, and this kind of ability is still not as good as himself. Ma Dao said in his heart.
However, no matter how much he slanders in his heart, he still has to echo it.
You can't tell Ding County Order, it's caused by the two of them beating each other.
Therefore, Ma Daoren also said, "Yes...... Yes...... The mountain roads are a bit rough ......"
"I see! The mountain road outside the prefecture...... It's a little hard to walk......"
Ding Wenshan showed a look of sudden realization.
As for those who naturally don't believe in the nonsense of these two people.
As a master disciple of Qingheng Mountain and Buda Temple, can you fall yourself by walking on a mountain road?
It's just that although he knew that the two were lying, Ding County Ling could only pretend not to know. Laughed and snorted and changed the subject.
Ding Wenshan took a sip of the teacup and said, "Now that Daoist Ma and Master Xuan'e are here, the problem of our Qishui County should be solved." ”
The Buddhism and Taoism of this world all cooperated with the imperial court, and the imperial court allowed them to preach and accept disciples. In exchange, every year, the Daomen and the Buddhists would send their outstanding disciples to help the yamen in various places and deal with some cases committed by demons or people in the evil way.
Although there was also a department in the imperial court composed of cultivators, called the Supervision Yuan. However, the Supervision Yuan is not manpowered, and it has to deal with the affairs of the Imperial City on weekdays.
Therefore, whenever the local yamen encountered something that could not be handled and asked the court for help, the Taoist and Buddhist sects would send people out.
Some time ago, there were often people in Qishui County who disappeared for no reason, but the cause of the case could not be found out for a long time. Therefore, he decided to ask the imperial court for help.
"Dare to ask Ding Xianzun, are the missing people in Qishui County all people who are about to reach the limit?" asked Ma Daoren to Ding Wenshan.
Ding Wenshan pondered for a while and said: "Yes! Most of the missing people in this county are some old people or people who are seriously ill.
I wonder how the chief of the horse knows?"
I saw Ma Daoren take out a cloth bag from his waist, untie the rope on the bag, and shake the bag mouth downward, and a charred corpse fell out.
"What is this?"
Looking at the charred corpse on the ground, Ding Wenshan wondered.
"This charred corpse is the murderer who committed the case in Qishui County......"
Ma Daoren slowly explained the whole story.
He and the monk Xuan'e were originally going to Xingding County this time, but when they reached a small village near Xingding County, they found that dozens of families in the entire village had been killed.
The two investigated carefully and found that it was Yin Jian who killed these villagers.
Ma Daoren found out that this Yin Jian seemed to be cultivating an evil method and needed to absorb the death qi from the dying person.
It's just that this person has a vicious mind and can't find so many people who are about to die, so he secretly uses means to make all those villagers seriously ill.
When the villagers' deadline was approaching, Yin Jian came out to collect the dead qi on their bodies.
The evil method that Yin Jian cultivated was the dead qi yin fire that was split by An Quan's sword.
The Ma Dao people found out where Yin Jian was hiding, and the two of them prepared to go and arrest him. Who knows, Yin Jian's cultivation is not weak, the two just injured him, but they didn't notice that he escaped for a while.
The two of them originally wanted to continue to pursue the whereabouts of Yin Jian, but the matter in Xingding County was more urgent, so they had no choice but to put it on hold temporarily.
After the matter in Xingding County was dealt with, there was another incident on the side of Ding County. The two came non-stop, and finally encountered Yin Jian's charred corpse outside the city.
When they saw Yin Jian's body outside Qishui County, Ma Daoren guessed that most of what happened in Qishui was related to Yin Jian.
"I see!" Ding Wenshan bowed slightly, and said, "Listening to the words of the two, the master who killed Yin Jian is not in my Qishui territory?"
"That's right!"
It was the monk Xuan'e who answered, and Ma Daoren said a lot of people who were a little thirsty, and they were drinking tea with a tea cup.
Monk Xuan'e continued: "When we arrived, Yin Jian had just died. Therefore, the two of us estimated that the master should live in Qishui.
It is estimated that he also happened to meet Yin Jian, and he got rid of it easily. ”
"In this way, since Yin Jian is dead, does it mean that this case can be concluded?" Ding Wenshan said.
Cases that have been painstakingly investigated by oneself but have not made progress have been easily solved? Isn't it a little too easy?
Ding Wenshan's heart was faintly lost.
"I don't think it's that simple!" Monk Xuan'e frowned and said, "The bodies of the missing people in Qishui County have not been found yet. Moreover, Qishui is a big county, and there are many people in the county.
For a month, people went missing, and the officials searched for so long that they didn't find any clues. Yin Jian can't do these things alone.
So I suspect that someone in the county must be secretly helping him. ”
Monk Xuan'e is not very old, but he is quite old when thinking about problems. I guessed at once that there were people in the city secretly helping Yin Jian.
Hearing the words of Monk Xuan'e, Ding Wenshan thought for a while, felt reasonable, and said: "In this case, this case cannot be finished here. In the days to come, I'll have to worry about two more people!"
"It's my duty!"
Ma Daoren and Monk Xuan'e said in unison.
"There are two of you!"
Ding Wenshan was about to salute the two.
Ma Daoren hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ding Wenshan's movements, and Monk Xuan'e also followed.
"The county is polite!"
Ma Daoren hugged Ding Wenshan and said, "The cultivators of my generation should have to eliminate the evil when they encounter this kind of thing.
Although those who disappeared were short in life, Yin Jian used evil methods to absorb death qi and let these people die in pain. Yin Jian's behavior is unforgivable.
Moreover, these people originally had at least a few years of yin life after they died, but because Yin Jian sucked them away along with these people's souls when he absorbed the death qi, their souls were scattered.
Yin Jian's nature is intolerable, and the person who helps Yin Jian can't let it go either!"
Ma Daoren is righteous and righteous.
"The same is true of the poor monks!"
Monk Xuan'e folded his hands and treasured **.
"Two high righteousness!"
