Early in the morning, Yecheng Mountain was lively again, everyone was busy, Nanyangzi took nearly half of the people with five hundred taels of silver, ready to set off for Daohua Village.

Xie Lingyun didn't follow, he breathed and breathed for a while in the backyard of Xishan Daoyuan, swallowed some vitality, and saw that the time was almost up, so he left to go down the mountain to investigate the case of the Daolu Division. Of course, before that, he had to meet with Lao Xi first to see what clues there were.

Just walked out of the courtyard and was about to go to the hillside, but Xie Lingyun saw a sloppy Taoist staggering on the far side of the bluestone road leading to the main hall......

The middle-aged man of his forties and fifties had long hair that was unkempt like a bird's nest, with many hair knots tied in the Dao, and his beard was scumbag, and his face was black and gray. Not only was he unkempt, but he was also wearing a stinking black robe, which was torn everywhere, and strips of cloth were fluttering. He walked barefoot, scratching here and there, and when he caught the flea, he threw it back on his body, and sang leisurely:

"You say that I laugh all day long, who is laughing? I don't laugh at the skeleton in the past, I don't laugh at the skeleton in front of me, the first laugh at the snake body Fuxi, what kind of hexagram do you draw? I laughed at the grazing Shennong......"

Uncle Naughty Sky!

Different from the timidity and weakness of Uncle Lead and Mercury, it is said that Uncle Naughty Kong was a very resolute person when he was young, and later practiced that set of exercises with his master.

Soon after, he began to indulge in sexual skills, and even changed his Dao name to "stubborn emptiness", as for what he used to be called, Xie Lingyun did not know. Anyway, since he can remember, he only remembers that his uncle was crazy all day long, shouting "Dao Ah" and "Ah Heart", and he has a habit of imitating various public cases since ancient times, and the worst thing is to force others to cooperate with him.

The so-called "public cases" refer to those stories about the ancestors of various sects, some of which are true and false, and they are also recognized and controversial, such as the Buddha's smile with flowers, Lu Zu's dream of Huangliang, etc., all of which are public cases.

"Who's here!?"

Uncle Naughty Sky over there also saw him, and immediately pointed his finger and shouted.

As soon as Xie Lingyun heard this, he knew that Uncle Lu Dao was going to play the public case of "Lu Zushen Huanglong", because he had played it many times before...... He suddenly felt a headache, and he didn't have time to play with "Naughty Uncle" at this time.

Thirty-six plans, go for the best plan! Xie Lingyun couldn't hear or see, and turned around in a panic. And from behind came a louder and higher shout from the uncle: "Hey, Ake, here-you should say 'Yunshui Daoren'! Then I said, 'What is the water like when the clouds run out?' you say, 'Drought kills the monk.'" ”...... Ak!!"

Uncle Naughty Kong, the situation of the Taoist temple is just difficult, so it's better to have a long sex, and it's not the trouble now...... Xie Lingyun shook his head with a wry smile, just for the sake of this uneasy uncle, Chaotian Palace should also be taken care of.

He turned around the mountain road and finally came to the hillside where he had made an appointment with Lao Xi, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lao Xi, Lao Xi, I'm here, come out-"

When he shouted a few times, a lush grass not far away suddenly swayed, and a huge gray and black mouse cautiously walked out, it was Lao Xi.

"Oh king, it's really you, I almost didn't die to come back to see you, king!" As soon as Lao Xi saw him, he immediately cried and cried, and rushed to his feet, hugged his calf tightly, and sobbed: "I almost died!"

Xie Lingyun was shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lao Xi just wiped his tears and cried: "Almost died, almost died...... Xie Lingyun touched its head a little helplessly, and said: "Zhilu Dao, aren't you okay? ”

"Anyway, I Lao Xi went through a long day of climbing mountains and mountains, and my feet were about to break before I went to the city of Jinling City...... "Lao Xi chattered non-stop, Xie Lingyun told it several times to tell the result, it sped up its speed of speech, and said in the end: "Those former rat friends told me that on the night of the crime, there was no vision in the area of the Daolu Division, no matter in the sky or on the ground, there was no big movement, not like there was a great immortal and a great sage. ”

Lao Xi is nicknamed "Rat Shengren", and he still knows how to focus on words, and said mysteriously: "Also, the exclusive clue Oh Wang, there are rats in them who vaguely hear some 'wheeling' sounds, as if someone is transporting goods with a board car!"

"Board car?" Xie Lingyun couldn't help frowning, this clue is too important, how can the thief quietly steal the tax pill from the heavily guarded Daolu Division, is the biggest suspicion in this case, some people say that it was done by the trolls of the rivers and lakes, and some people say that it is the trolls of the mountains and forests...... If Lao Xi's clue is true, then isn't the thief using the sky to escape, nor is it using the land to escape, but the board car ......?

Thinking about how Lao Xi stole the monk bowl from the relics pagoda of Qixia Temple, a major place in Buddhism, the possibility he had already thought of became clearer and clearer......

"After inquiring, I wanted to go back to the mountain, but I don't know which rat in the road leaked the news, saying that I was happy to inquire about the news of the tax pill case in Mancheng. And then before I returned to Yecheng Mountain, halfway through, I—I was caught!"

Lao Xi cried out again aggrieved, still afraid, and said tremblingly: "At that time, suddenly a burlap bag fell from the sky and trapped me, and I didn't have time to see which murderer was the murderer of a thousand knives, only a dark one in front of me, only to hear someone outside asking, 'You rat, so nosy, what do you want to do?' This rat just wants to solve the case and get a reward, don't kill me, I have 100,000 rat soldiers, if you kill me and let them know the truth, they won't let you go!"

Then the man said, 'This is not for you to do, rat, if you want to live a long life, don't ask any more questions, or I will beat you.' ’

Then I was hit a few times by something, and then I was thrown into a ravine. After waiting for a long time, when I was sure that the guy was gone, I quickly bit down on the sack, and when I saw that it was a wicker that had hit me, I escaped. ”

"Look, King, this was the place where I smoked, it hurts!" Lao Xi was still wiping his tears as he pouted his round ass to show it.

Xie Lingyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead speechlessly, it could still survive......

But who could that person be? Is it the one who investigated the crime? Or is it the thief who committed the crime? He asked, "I can't see it, but isn't the rat's sense of smell very strong, do you smell anything? And what is the man's voice? Is it a man or a woman, old or young?"

"Woman, woman! It doesn't sound very old, it's a girl, and she said those two sentences, which I just learned word for word. Lao Xi racked his brains to think about it for a while, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "That's right, I seem to smell the smell of foxes...... That's right, the faint fragrance is the smell of fox!

"Fox flavor?" Xie Lingyun's sword eyebrows furrowed again, and he asked, "You mean that there are fox immortals involved in this case?"

Lao Xi nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, my existence is also very mysterious, only those goblins of various races can know that I am inquiring about the news in half a day." King, according to the mouse's inference, that female fox spirit is either investigating a crime or committing a crime!

"Well, this is reasonable...... Xie Lingyun can't help but agree with this obvious conclusion, is the fox fairy girl? There is history, there has been no trace of the fox fairy in Jinling for more than 50 years, and most of the historical materials in the past are righteous deeds and good deeds, or spending time with scholars, stealing things is rare.

If she was an investigator, she would have asked Lao Xidu what she had heard; if she was the perpetrator, but it was strange, and she couldn't even kill a suspicious rat spirit, how dare she commit this heinous crime?

There are too many questions, and only by continuing to investigate can there be the truth, and of course, there are many clues at hand now. Xie Lingyun was naturally very satisfied and grateful, and said with a smile: "Zhilu Dao, Lao Xi, thank you for your hard work, leave it to me next, I'll go to the Daolu Treasury to have a look." ”

"Then the king, you have to be more careful, Lao Xi will go back to rest first, his butt is still hurting. After saying goodbye, Lao Xi carefully slipped back into the dense grass.

Xie Lingyun walked forward slowly, thinking about it, and nodded from time to time.

"Ake—"

After walking for a while, Uncle Stubborn Kong's shouting suddenly came from the distance behind him, and his heart jumped, and he hurriedly slipped away with the wind under his feet.

"And then you say, 'Flying Sword Slash'—"

Jinling Daolu Division is built in the south of the city, the hall is magnificent, the high wall is lofty, there are thousands of ancient pines and cypresses planted along the wall, the evergreen leaves are lush and towering, most of them are planted in the previous dynasty, there are hundreds of years of time. Under the sunshine, the shadows of the trees are heavy, as if gently caressing those steps, the autumn wind blows, the leaves are like pearls falling on the jade plate, and the sound of the wind is far away. When pedestrians walk on the road, they can't help but feel a little respectful and happy.

The warehouse is on the side of the eastern section of the wall, out of the courtyard gate, not far from the outside is a lively street, which is also convenient for transportation.

Because of the accident, the number of guards guarding the gate of the town has increased to more than a dozen, and because today is the day of unsealing for people to investigate, there are many people who come in and out, they are dressed in various colors of Taoist robes, Confucian shirts, and military uniforms, and there are people from three religions and nine streams.

When Xie Lingyun arrived, the tax pill warehouse on the left side of the courtyard was already crowded with people, and the pill boxes that should have been stacked in rows were gone.

The crowd came in twos and threes, some walked around to investigate, some looked at the roof and knocked on the floor, and the sound of discussion was endless: "In my opinion, the giant thief must have used some powerful spell." ”

"Yes, I've heard that there is a secret method called 'Tongtian Ruyi Dafa', even if you haven't entered the gods, you can fly away, and you can also use the light and divine power of the stars and the moon to be invisible and carried. This explains how the thieves quietly stole boxes of tax pills......"
