The next day.
The burning of the criminal records library caused a sensation throughout the capital.
In the hundreds of years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, this is the first time that the criminal records library has been deliberately burned.
The elders in the central cabinet who maintained the operation of the imperial court were furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
In addition to turning the capital upside down, everyone in the Tianlao was also called in for questioning one by one.
Qin Geng did not avoid it.
In the end, apart from letting the investigating yamen at all levels get another payout, they found nothing and had to give up.
Either nothing was found, or there was still a force secretly obstructing it.
Qin Geng thought it was the latter.
Since Emperor Taide ascended the throne eight years ago and Yu Su came to power, the imperial court has returned to the Zhang Shuyue era when officials were struggling to make a living. They internally purged officials, resulting in a sharp drop in the income of government offices at all levels, and externally attacked and annexed land, attracting officials at all levels and The local gentry complained. In the words of the newly arrived Yangdian Prison, although the revenue of the treasury increased sharply, it lost the hearts of the people.
Under such circumstances, it is natural to form an anti-Tide and anti-Suppression alliance hoping to restore the emperor.
Ted's fall into the water and the burning of the case files must have been the work of this alliance. Naturally, this alliance was afraid of further investigation.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Qin Geng, a person who plans to leave this world and go to the world of immortality.
In the blink of an eye, a month later, the hot summer came.
A lot of things happened during this time.
In the palace, not only did the news spread that Emperor Tede was seriously ill, but also the news that Emperor Tede's only son died of illness.
In the court, during the process of purging corrupt officials, there was a conflict with General Shi Heng, one of the heroes who won the battle to defend the capital.
The little man Shen Lian and his wife Miao Tong are missing, and they are suspected of being hunted.
Zhuquefang.
In the secret underground cave of the Qin family, Qin Geng was surrounded by papers and paper figures with obscure runes written on them.
After a month of hard work, he has roughly mastered the art of connecting to the underworld.
According to how long it takes to reach each stage in the Art of Tongyou, his qualifications are considered to be above average.
Qin Geng is now 100% sure that his qualifications are above average, and even have some shadow of them.
Qin Geng picked up a lifelike paper man and tapped it gently between his eyebrows, and a hint of gray innate god appeared.
By studying the Netherworld Technique, he has understood the innate god.
It is similar to the so-called divine thoughts.
The fingers of the innate god, with their grayish eyes, touched the eyebrows of the lifelike paper man.
A wonderful thing happened. Following Qin Geng's thoughts, the paper man stood up directly and could make various actions automatically.
"Okay okay"
After Qin Geng said hello three times in a row, the paper man fell down straight.
Apparently, the innate god is exhausted.
"You have to get some real spirits to attach to it."
Qin Geng's thoughts turned and he suddenly remembered the corpses buried in his yard which looked like a mass grave.
There were so many corpses, not to mention a few real spirits running out, even a zombie jumping out, he wouldn't be surprised.
Qin Geng did not act immediately, he had a more important thing to do.
Qin Geng took out a bowl of ice cream from the homemade freezer nearby and ate it.
It’s so cool to eat ice cream in the summer.
After finishing one, Qin Geng ate another.
In the blink of an eye, I ate several and didn’t feel any discomfort at all.
This life is better.
In his previous life, Qin Geng once went to a buffet and ate six or seven ice creams, which made his heart feel very uncomfortable.
After eating, Qin Geng jumped like a big bird and flew out of the secret cave. It was late at night with the bright moon hanging high, and the surroundings were quiet.
Qin Geng raised his hand to make a seal and muttered something in his mouth. After a while, the dark wind blew up and picked up a piece of red hair, ah no, it was a leaf.
Qin Geng looked again. On the windows, on the roof, and beside the stone table, there were many ghosts in the house. Some had no heads, some had only half the body, some were looming, and some were just a ball of green light.
Apparently, they are very weak.
Seeing Qin Geng, their big enemy, these ghosts suddenly became restless. Some even became a lot more solid, with resentment in their eyes.
But no one dared to step forward.
"Hey, we're all acquaintances."
Qin Geng saw the beautiful Taoist nuns, refugees, prostitutes and thieves who were killed by him, and passers-by who did not deserve names...
Qin Geng smiled slightly and took a step forward.
The ghosts retreated and roared with ferocious expressions.
People are afraid of evil people, just like ghosts are afraid of evil people.
But no one escaped, as there seemed to be an invisible force restraining them.
Qin Geng thought of a word, earth-bound spirit.
It refers to the undead souls who are bound to a place where their range of activities is limited after death. Such undead souls often have unresolved resentments.
"You are no match for me alive, and you are no match for me dead."
After Qin Geng finished speaking, he threw out twelve paper figures and collected all the ghost figures.
The next moment, the twelve paper figures began to struggle, even showing ferocious human faces.
Qin Geng continued to bless his innate god from above.
After a while, the real spirit and the paper man merged into one and became quiet.
"Ha ha ha ha"
Qin Geng laughed like a villain.
"Ha ha ha ha"
The paper people also laughed, more unscrupulously and a little evil than Qin Geng's voice.
It gives people a creepy feeling in the dead of night.
At this time, if there was a watcher passing by, he would probably be so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot.
"ha"
A sudden voice was mixed in.
Qin Geng's expression suddenly turned cold, and with a flash of his body, he came under the spectacular ginkgo tree, his eyes like torches.
The sound just now seemed to come from the ginkgo tree.
Could it be that he has become a monster?
Qin Geng wrapped himself up with innate energy and innate god, walked around the ginkgo tree, nothing happened, and used the art of opening to the underworld again.
The ginkgo tree showed no reaction.
It’s no different from an ordinary ginkgo tree.
Qin Geng heard the sound clearly just now, hummed softly, put his hand on the tree trunk, and used his innate spirit to search for the opponent.
After searching around, I found a blur of consciousness at the core of the tree roots.
If Qin Geng had not possessed the cultivation level of an innate great master and knew the art of tunneling, he would not have been able to discover it.
Qin Geng tried to communicate with it, but it was like a baby, unable to express complete consciousness.
But his attitude is very good, he regards Qin Geng as his mother, and constantly expresses his closeness.
"Should we get rid of it in advance?"
Qin Geng gave up after hesitating again and again.
This thing regards itself as a relative, and may not be able to be a help in the future.
Qin Geng turned around, raised his hand and sucked, took back the twelve floating paper figures, and placed them close to his body.
These things are like air conditioners, blocking out the hot summer weather.
Qin Geng looked at Tianlao. With so many resentful spirits in his family, wouldn't there be even more in Tianlao that had existed for hundreds of years?
If they were organized into an army of paper figures, he would still be afraid of the old eunuch in the palace.
The more Qin Geng thought about it, the more excited he became, and his body disappeared in a flash.
