Chapter 652: Zi Tai Sui (Medium)
"Do you know what you're doing?"
It had been half a moment since Feng Shuwen visited, and Gu Fan finally said his first sentence. He seemed to know something inside, because his face at this time showed a hint of uncontrollable gloom.
Feng Shuwen was stunned for a while by Gu Fan's sudden question, and after thinking for a long time, he understood the deep meaning of Gu Fan's question. He knew that he must have found the right person this time. Or, since the Ministry of War sent someone to send two beast corpses a few days ago, he knew that the person he was looking for must be Gu Fan.
"I'm looking into the case. ”
"You can't find out this case. ”
"Why?"
"You don't have the right to know. ”
“......”
When Feng Shuwen heard this, his face was solemn.
Twisting the umbrella, his hands clenched into fists, raised high.
Zhengsheng said: "Under the emperor's sky, the coast of the land is all the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all under the control of the Tang Dynasty. In accordance with His Majesty's holy decree, this official thoroughly investigated the Shoushan corpse case, which is to do the right thing for the Son of Heaven. ”
"You're mistaken. ”
"Misunderstanding?"
When Feng Shuwen arrived for a long time, Gu Fan never moved, sitting on the coffin, looking directly at the quietly flowing river. The fine linen hung crookedly on the top of the bamboo branch, and the other end floated on the water, and the weak breeze blew and swayed it, but it looked particularly awkward in the plain.
Gu Fan said: "I mean you are not qualified. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Feng Shuwen was puzzled.
Looking at the calm river flow, Gu Fan slightly raised an eerie smile: "You are just a mortal. ”
Feng Shuwen still couldn't understand what Gu Fan meant, and only thought that the mortals he said meant Feng Shuwen's cultivation. Then, Feng Shuwen put down his hands, looked at Gu Fan with a serious expression, and said with righteousness: "What about mortals? I am an official of the imperial court, and I have received the emperor's grace, if I can help Your Majesty find out what is wrong, why not break my bones?"
“......”
Gu Fan didn't speak again, quietly changed the fishing rod to his left hand, and then put his right hand on his lap, putting on a lazy look. Feng Shuwen's patience and strength were very good, knowing that Gu Fan did not take himself as an official of the imperial court in his eyes, but his face was still not smiling, not annoyed or angry.
Wait for a while, and see that Gu Fan is still silent.
Feng Shuwen said patiently: "After Xiaoyou is a saint, he has learned from the three veins of Wu Ancestor, Feng Shui, and Corpse Refining, and his cultivation is even more extraordinary. This matter is not trivial, in addition to the safety of the community, it is likely to involve the survival of the people, and the official also hopes that Xiaoyou can show a clear way. ”
“......”
Gu Fan still ignored it.
Feng Shuwen helplessly held back his old mouth slightly.
As a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, although he has no real power, his official character is not low, and he will swallow his anger a little when he kneels down to worship the Jinluan Hall on weekdays, and now he wants to plead with a civilian in such a low voice, which is really humble enough.
But he had to.
Because what he found was far from being as simple as he made it lightly. On the night when Feng Shuwen was ordered to take over the Shoushan case, he had a dream...
In his dream, an old Taoist told him that this case was not trivial, and if he was not careful, it would lead to the destruction of the common people. You, Feng Shuwen, are the chosen ones, and you are burdened with the heavy responsibility of mending the heavens, so you should be more cautious. After you arrive at Shoushan, you must immediately dig three feet into the ground at the original site of the corpse to find out the key things, and carefully study the clues to solve the case, so as to save the common people from fire and water, and there is no room for mistakes. And just as Feng Shuwen was about to ask when the clues to solve the case were, the old Taoist suddenly nervously muttered a sentence "The secret of heaven must not be revealed", and then Feng Shuwen woke up.
When he woke up, Feng Shuwen didn't take this seriously, but when he arrived at Shoushan and looked at the vast desert, and everything was clueless, the ghost sent people to dig up the sand, and found those plant residues from the ground. From this moment on, his mind was frightened by the facts step by step, and finally believed what the Taoist said in the dream...
Thinking about it, reminiscing, the people and things of these months.
Feng Shuwen weighed it for a long time, Fang secretly made a decision, and solemnly told the truth: "Although my cultivation is not as good as your martial arts, I am from the Jinke list, and my knowledge is slightly higher than that of mortals. But Zi Tai Sui is such a substance, I have never heard of it in my life. Consult countless classics, side doors, myths and legends in the Hanlin Temple. Ask all the scholars in Linyuan Pavilion, and everyone calls them even more. It can be seen that this thing is by no means ordinary.
Moreover, I, as well as the Lord of the Linyuan Pavilion and the Hanlin Academy, all believe that this thing is likely to come from outside the world.
However, although the things outside the world are rare, they are not unique, and there have been legends of the Heavenly Iron Coming to the World with Divine Fire in all dynasties. And the coffin you sit on must be more or less mixed with an immortal substance similar to the Flying Immortal Xuanjing. However, the records of the historical books of all dynasties on things outside the world are only limited to the dark iron and crystal, and there has never been a plant or water. The sudden appearance of such a substance is bound to be ominous. ”
"God-given things, why is it ominous?" Gu Fan's mouth seemed to loosen slightly, and he suddenly asked.
Feng Shuwen was patient, opened the manuscript book in his hand to record the case again, looked at it carefully for a moment, and explained: "You are a clear-eyed person, and I won't hide it from you." My colleagues and I have gone through great difficulty to extract a wisp of pure purple Tai Sui from the completely transformed vegetation and soil. We first fed half a wisp of purple Tai Sui to a rabbit, and the rabbit struggled in pain for half an hour before he died. Then we look at it in a dark place. All of its fur withered and fell off in just three days, and on the fourth day its limbs and mouth began to grow claws and fangs, and its skin began to rot, and on the seventh day it suddenly came back to life. The resurrected rabbits become extremely violent, and any living creature with yang energy will become a target for their attacks. It doesn't seem to have the sense of pain and no way to kill it, and we can't kill it even if we try to pierce its heart with a sharp sword, but the rabbit suddenly dies half an hour after being resurrected.
Later, we fed the remaining half of Zi Tai Sui to a terminally ill old man, who then had the same symptoms as the rabbit. Death in pain, then skin decay, nails hardened, and fangs grew out of the mouth. A few days later, he suddenly came back to life, with no memory, a violent temperament, a thirst for murder, and infinite power. It's just that, unlike the rabbit, the old man was only resurrected for a short time.
Although the symptoms of the two are different, they are almost the same as the beasts that were resurrected by the demon summoning array you set up in Fangcun Mountain. And I also found traces of Zi Tai Sui on the beast corpses you set up. ”
As he spoke, Feng Shuwen put the umbrella on the ground, put the manuscript book back in his arms, clasped his hands into fists and respectfully bowed to Gu Fan, and said solemnly: "This matter is not trivial, it involves the survival of the people, and the official begs Xiaoyou to tell the details." ”
"Bang long ...
Feng Shuwen begged bitterly, but Gu Fan's reaction was very decisive, he stood up directly, picked up the coffin, took the fishing rod, turned his head and left. Obviously, Gu Fan definitely knew some ulterior things, otherwise he wouldn't have behaved so decisively and didn't even intend to put his words down. Of course, it was normal for Gu Fan to know the inside story, because the corpse of Nashou Mountain was originally the handiwork of his elders. It's just that he probably won't know much of the real inside story, after all, it's a killing situation that even a saint can't fathom.
Watching this scarlet back gradually disappear in the drizzle, Feng Shuwen had mixed feelings, and his face was extremely complicated. He knew that no matter how hard he grinded, he would probably have to go home empty-handed today.
After brewing for a long time, Feng Shuwen couldn't help but shout from afar: "Little friend, this thing is ominous, there must be a mother! If you don't destroy it as soon as possible, I am afraid that the common people will be destroyed!"
The back was getting farther away, and for some reason, Gu Fan suddenly sent back a word...
"This is a matter for the saints, you should ask the saints. ”
“......”
