Immortal Jinting arrived at the Owl Pavilion at the end of the day. Black Dragon entered Gusu City by pressing the cloud head, and arrived at the Owl Pavilion with Immortal Jinting.
King Linchuan had been waiting for him for a long time. He personally invited him in, cooked fragrant tea in the garden of the secret hall, prepared seasonal fruits and melons, and invited the Jinting Immortal to taste tea.
Immortal Jinting got straight to the point and asked, "Your Highness asked Bai Xianglong to invite me, but what else needs to be done?"
King Linchuan was annoyed by his inhumanity, but he also appreciated his straightforwardness. What was more, he was helpless. No matter what skills he had to control his subordinates, he could not use them in the Jinting Immortal.
Immortal Jinting didn't listen to him beating around the bush, so he could only tell the truth and said, "Does Immortal know the origin of my Prince Wu's Mansion?"
Immortal Jinting shook his head and said: "I really don't know much about His Highness's family affairs."
Only the Great Immortal Jin Ting could make people feel somewhat convinced when he said this, but King Linchuan also suspected that he was pretending not to know.
But there was no use in being suspicious, so he had no choice but to say: "My father is the uncle of your Majesty and the brother of the late emperor."
"The late emperor was most beloved by his grandfather, but he was not the eldest son. For this throne, the brothers of the late emperor died and were injured. Only my father has never participated in these incidents. I asked myself to open a mansion and stay away from the imperial capital, so I avoided these things."
"Even so, after my eldest brother was born, he was sent to the imperial capital and educated under the knees of the emperor's grandfather. He did not return to Gusu until his death."
"The late emperor was fond of meritorious deeds and was headstrong. He was also jealous and had always been suspicious. My father respected Buddhism and Taoism and never asked about political affairs. He only participated in metaphysics and Dharma discussions. The late emperor gradually felt at ease."
“We have worked hard for many years to achieve what we have today.”
Immortal Jinting nodded and said: "King Wu has a benevolent spirit and is full of energy. Now that the late emperor has passed away and the new emperor is young, it might not be an opportunity for you."
King Linchuan looked at the Immortal Jinting and said, "I won't hide it from you, Immortal. We do have some ideas, but the time has not yet come, so we still need to wait."
"Not long after the new emperor came to the throne, there was another natural disaster and the court was in turmoil. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster, and I don't know when the time will come. My father is worried and needs to go to the court to take care of something. Otherwise, I will be afraid of being criticized and opposed to me. It’s not good for Prince Wu’s Mansion.”
The Great Immortal of Jinting said: "Then you are looking for me?"
King Linchuan smiled bitterly and said: "My father has already sent his staff to take the treasure to the imperial capital by water, and with the protection of the Taoist priests from the Owl Pavilion, it should be absolutely safe."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "Unexpectedly, halfway through, we were robbed by a group of strongmen. Not only were the treasures lost, but most of the Taoist priests in the Owl Hall were also killed and injured. Only three of them escaped, and they were seriously injured."
"Fortunately, Mr. Nong is fine, otherwise I would be severely punished by my father if I didn't do my job well."
King Linchuan said: "Great Immortal, I boasted in front of my father that I would find out the matter and recover the losses. But the Taoist priest who escaped said that there was a sixth-grade Taoist among the strong men, and the news was leaked in advance. I'm afraid The secret hall was not safe, so I thought of the Great Immortal."
Immortal Jinting gave King Linchuan a strange look and said, "Are you asking me to investigate the case?"
King Linchuan said: "It's not all about investigating the case. The main thing is to recover the treasures. In addition, we also need to ask the immortal to escort Mr. Nong to the imperial capital."
Jinting Daxian said: "Those are three things: investigating the case, detecting theft and guarding."
King Linchuan already knew what his next words would be.
Sure enough, Jinting Daxian said: "Three things cannot be done at the same time. How much salary do you plan to pay?"
King Linchuan asked: "There is nothing else in my house. The most yellow and white things are, followed by treasures that can be used for practice. I just don't know what the great immortal needs."
Immortal Jinting thought for a while and said: "Your hundred thousand Yin soldiers need to help me refine the magic weapon for forty-nine days. The spell is still the same spell, this one. I sacrificed the magic weapon, and the loss was huge, and the gold It’s a sacred object. I need a thousand taels of gold, this is the second one. For my practice, I need precious jade, not jade, I just need good jade, and I need ten pieces.”
King Linchuan suddenly felt pain in his body. He gritted his teeth and agreed, saying, "Then it's settled."
The Great Immortal of Jinting said: "Thank you very much, Your Highness. I will stay overnight at the Owl Pavilion today. Please help Your Highness arrange a place for me."
King Linchuan breathed a sigh of relief and responded.
Then he invited Immortal Jin Ting to drink tea and expressed his gratitude for the last time Immortal Jin Ting went to the underworld to save people.
Immortal Jinting followed the trend and inquired about the current situation of the Ghost King of the Senjuliu Department.
After the ghost king of Juliu tribe escaped from the ghost mist, he helped King Linchuan train his troops in Naihe Pan. King Linchuan hardly needs to think when talking about his affairs, which shows that he has been contacted a lot recently.
After sitting for a while, King Linchuan couldn't sit still and left in a hurry.
If you don't have Taoist skills comparable to those of Jin Ting Daxian, it's not that simple to talk freely around him.
Watching King Linchuan leave, Immortal Jinting played with his jade pendant. This was left by King Linchuan to Immortal Jinting and could be used to command the practitioners of Owl Hall.
Immortal Jinting threw away the jade pendant and asked the thunder collector to make tea.
Waiting until the moon was in the middle, he ordered: "Go and guard the gate of the Owl Pavilion. No one is allowed to escape."
The thunder collector laughed ferociously and guarded the door of the Owl Pavilion.
The sky above the Owl Pavilion is covered by formations, so you cannot float in or out. The secret library is a place that relies on secrecy.
Immortal Jinting rang the golden bell and called everyone in the Owl Hall to the garden in the middle of the night.
Side sects and evil cultivators stood in the garden one after another. Some of them looked very good and had a fairy-like demeanor, while others were strange and sinister.
Immortal Jinting glanced at it and confirmed that Old Ghost Xiao was not among them. Then he played with King Linchuan's jade pendant in his hand and said: "King Linchuan asked me to investigate the robbery of King Wu's fleet. I heard that three people came from We are back alive on the ship, who are the three of them?"
The three senior brothers Liu Ben were still injured, their faces were green, and the poison had not subsided. They stood up and said: "I have seen the seniors, they are our senior brothers."
Immortal Jinting then asked: "What happened that day? Please tell me quickly."
Liu Ben explained what happened that day and said: "The strong men knew in advance what the fleet was transporting and who was guarding the ship. If someone hadn't leaked the information in advance, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Immortal Jinting looked at the people in the Owl Pavilion and asked, "Who leaked the news?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, everyone looked around, but of course no one spoke.
Liu Ben thought to himself: "How can there be such an interrogation? Who would admit it?"
Immortal Jinting laughed and said, "Don't tell me? Don't worry, you will tell me."
Immortal Jinting poured out the tea in his hand, and it seemed as if a cup of moonlight poured out, dragging everyone into the illusion in an instant.
Jinting Daxian supported his head with one hand, watching these people crying or laughing in the illusion, weeping bitterly, and acting ugly, which he found very interesting.
