Li Huaiyun used Wang Xing's power to make the crack on the back of the stone statue bigger, then got a hammer and knocked open the inside.
After a lot of hard work, he finally cracked open the back of the stone statue. After seeing what was inside, he and Mu Yuan were quite surprised. There was actually a quite complete gear transmission system inside.
Mu Yuan ignored the blood that was constantly pouring out from the back of the stone statue and directly groped the gears with his hands.
Li Huaiyun pinched his chin. He had only seen this kind of transmission system in modern times. He didn't expect to see it in this world. The most peculiar thing is that there is no steam engine here at all, so this kind of transmission system has lost its true function. If a device similar to a steam engine could be built, the future would be limitless.
The person who made this stone statue is really talented! It is actually possible to develop this transmission system alone.
Mu Yuan's eyes were fixed on the back of the stone statue. The idea was quite clever. It gave her a lot of ideas for a while!
"Did you see any secrets?" Li Huaiyun asked.
"This is incredible, someone can actually think of this kind of structure!" Mu Yuan praised.
"Then do you know what school this probably belongs to? Is it also a branch of mechanism art?"
"It is definitely one of the branches. Judging from the material of the gear, it should be located in the south, probably the Mo clan,"
"The Mo clan? Are their machine skills very powerful?"
"Yes, it is said that this tribe lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests to avoid persecution by the traitors of the previous dynasty. Among their tribesmen there are geniuses like this kind of carpentry. Although they live in the mountains, they still rely on their extraordinary talents to obtain An invention that is quite eye-catching.”
"As for the other things, I don't know much about it. Maybe the old man Sikyong will know,"
Li Huaiyun nodded, "Unexpectedly, we would meet here! This means that the so-called Mo clan is also involved."
Mu Yuan said, "Did the man in black robe also unite with the Mo clan?"
"It's possible. After all, one is black and the other is ink. It's not strange if the same colors are mixed together."
Mu Yuan looked at the transmission system in front of her and fell into deep thought. Then she started moving it again and found that she still couldn't figure out this Mo family's mechanism technique.
"Hey! Can you understand how this works?"
Li Huaiyun stood there, folding his hands on his chest, frowning, "I understand a little! I understand a little! But it's very complicated to say it!"
"Ah!" Mu Yuan was quite surprised by this. She was also the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion. Facing such a complicated transmission system, she seemed a little powerless. However, the man beside her actually said that she had some understanding so easily. Two words.
Li Huaiyun said calmly, "This transmission system is very valuable to us. If you can understand it, it may be a very good foundation for Qianji Pavilion."
"This transmission system controls the body of this stone statue through the mutual working of gears! The man in black robe controls it in a certain way."
Mu Yuan was a little confused, "How is it controlled?"
Li Huaiyun pointed to the head of the stone statue, "Maybe if we open the head, we can get a rough idea!"
"Head!" Mu Yuan looked in the direction she was pointing and saw the deformed head that had been beaten by Wang Xing. She immediately walked up, grabbed the stone head, and put it back next to the stone statue.
The head of the stone statue was a little shriveled compared to before, and at the same time, the entire face was covered with tiny cracks, like capillaries.
"What kind of mystery is hidden in this head?"
Wang Xing also walked up and walked around them a few times, "What's the situation? What are you studying?"
"How to control this kind of stone statue!" Li Huaiyun squatted down again, cupped his fists and saluted, "Master Wang, I need your help to break this head in half."
"Break in half!"
"Yes!"
Wang Xing followed his request and took some effort to break open the head of the stone statue. There was a talisman hidden inside.
Li Huaiyun looked at the talisman paper, "If my guess is correct, this talisman paper should be the accompanying spell in Taoist talismans. It can be based on the actions of people who practice Taoism, and then this stone statue can imitate it."
"And this transmission system is designed to make the movement of the stone statue look quite silky and smooth."
"So, the general context of this case is now clear!"
Mu Yuan, Wang Xing and others immediately focused their attention and looked at Li Huaiyun, expecting him to explain the basic situation of the case.
"This steward has been working for the man in black robes. They built this temple and recruited believers. In fact, their real purpose is to use human blood and blood to support this stone statue."
"As for why this stone statue is offered, I still can't figure it out, but their behavior in this generation is actually disgusting. They even didn't let go of Sun, who committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. Through her revenge, Come to get a lot of blood essence, and this shrill scream is from the Sun family."
Wang Xing didn't understand the process very well, but just by hearing these words, he knew that something was definitely wrong, "Luring people out through sound! This method is so similar to the way of animals."
Li Huaiyun suddenly remembered something and turned around to leave the temple, "Let's go! Let's go find Mr. Sun quickly."
Mu Yuan was a little confused, "Wait a minute, isn't Mrs. Sun dead already? Where can we go to find her?"
"Isn't that what we saw last night?"
"But you said it yourself, Mrs. Sun is dead!"
"The resentful spirit has always been in that house and has never left!" Li Huaiyun said worriedly, "If it is allowed to remain in the world and have more resentment, the consequences will be serious. Besides, she must know something! "
"Then what should we do? Let the Demon Slayer Division subdue her directly?"
"Before surrendering, we may have to find her body first!"
"Ah! Why are you looking for her body? If you didn't commit suicide by throwing yourself into a well, do you still need to look for her body?"
"Let's talk while walking!"
Li Huaiyun handed over the affairs of the temple to Wang Xing, and he and Mu Yuan left the temple and walked towards Sun's house.
The stone statue was also transported back to Qianji Pavilion by Mu Yuan.
"This case may seem fragmented, but it's actually relatively simple."
"Easy?" Mu Yuan frowned. She wondered if she heard wrong. She was following Li Huaiyun to handle cases. She didn't think her level was relatively low.
"Yes! Although Mrs. Sun committed suicide, the people who led her to commit suicide were the people living around her. Her husband passed away a year ago, leaving her alone. This beautiful and fair-skinned woman has been living forever. Trapped in an abyss, men coveted her beauty and women were jealous of her beauty.”
"Men want to get close to and possess her all the time, while women are always slandering and ostracizing her. In this environment, she has to endure this unbearable life in order to survive, until the steward of the temple also takes a fancy to her. , in order to get her, he came up with the absurd idea of worshiping gods."
"Both men and women actually know what's going on, but they also look forward to this ending. When men have a chance, women are even more convinced that this is an unclean woman."
Li Huaairun turned his head and glanced at Mu Yuan, "You know, when I asked Mrs. Sun that, don't you know why Mrs. Sun answered?"
Mu Yuan shook her head, "It's not normal for people to act blindly and blindly."
"No, she is a commodity that has been reused many times, just to stay alive."
When Mu Yuan heard this, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly. She finally understood the helplessness contained in those words, "It's not that you can't see clearly, but many people are here to see clearly, but they are still like this! "
"This is a rabble. When someone gets out of line, they put down their morals,"
She shouted angrily, "Everyone here deserves to die!"
Li Huaiyun immediately explained, "You are a bit extreme! In fact, this is human nature when it comes to this kind of thing. We can accuse, but we cannot convict, because we can't hold the evidence and we can't help Sun, so she chose to throw herself into the well. To end her life so that she thought it was over."
"She thinks?"
"Yeah um, that's what he thought was the end."
Li Huaiyun continued sjuo dai w, "The following things are even more disgusting. I think for you, you should choose to ignore it. After Sun Shi committed suicide by throwing himself into the well, this matter will almost be over!"
"But what follows is that there are often inexplicable screams here, and the victims disappear. Recently, many victims have had their essence sucked away and turned into human beings."
Mu Yuan interjected, "It shows that Sun's wronged soul is no longer an ordinary lonely ghost."
"Yes! Among them, there is a fortune teller. He discovered that the yin energy in this place is cautious, so he came here to suppress it. The charms we saw in the house were the work of that fortune teller. Unfortunately, his actions were not This resentful spirit cannot be suppressed.”
"Then what can we do?"
"I found Sun's body and buried it."
Li Huaiyun said with a heavy expression, "This damn man in black robe is completely the culprit. This guy knows Taoism. After he found out that Sun fell into a well, he came up with that method. Later, after the plan was successful, he let the stone statue eat it." At the same time, the house where the Sun family lived was full of Yin energy, so he wanted to use the soul-severing rice given to the dead to purify the wronged soul of the Sun family. Didn't you see that the rice was still used? Sticky rice!"
"The resentful soul in the Sun family must have been manipulated by this man in black robes to make her look like an ordinary person. We can't tell the difference at all."
"This Men Yin technique is too powerful!"
"Yes! This resentful spirit can appear and appear in the nearby area at will, including turning into a real person and chatting with us as if it were a living person. It doesn't even react to the token you cast from Qianji Pavilion, plus the stone statue , which shows the depth of his Taoist skills."
"From the beginning of the water prison case, we could only reluctantly accept the case. We couldn't take the lead at all. We were quite passive."
Li Huaiyun said happily, "This time, fortunately the helmsman of the Diamond Pavilion came, otherwise, even if I were in the God Refining Realm, I would probably die in the hands of that stone sculpture."
"Have you become a god of refining?"
