The outlines of clouds are blurred in the halo.
Li Chuan put down the mirror.
Pan's mother is a White Walker, Guan Zhongqiu is also a White Walker, and the direction of things is getting more and more ridiculous.
He observed the expressions of everyone present one by one.
Pan's mother's sad face showed a numbness of resignation, and she held her little granddaughter tightly with both hands. The little granddaughter was a little uneasy and kept looking left and right.
Guan Zhongqiu's raised cheekbones were up and down, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Elder Wei and Master Zenhai were talking in a low voice, and you could faintly hear some words with unclear meanings such as "Enlightenment" and "Zen Realm".
Jin Rong lowered his head and thought.
Wen Guying was standing with his back to the sun, which made his face and figure look a little blurry. He was the first to say: "Now that the problem has been discovered, it will be easier to solve later, Elder Wei." He looked at Elder Wei's face. He walked a few steps in the direction and said, "Please check Su Niang and Junior Brother Guan again."
Li Chuan finally saw his expression clearly, and it seemed to be both determination and relief.
Elder Wei agreed.
Wen Guying also warned: "Don't be merciful towards the White Walkers. In order to find out the problem, some inconvenient methods can also be used."
Elder Wei expressed his understanding.
She examined Pan Ma and Guan Zhongqiu, but neither of them resisted.
This examination took a long time, nearly an hour. After the examination, Elder Wei's figure seemed to have become weaker, and his face, which was already full of pain and hatred, looked even more gloomy.
She said: "This time I traced their life souls, and I did find some problems. Pan's mother's life soul was traced back to around 33 years old. For a period of time, the life soul was very unstable, but back to around 38 years old, the life soul was very unstable. It has become stable again; but Fellow Daoist Guan’s life soul was in the same unstable situation a year ago."
"But..." Elder Wei emphasized his tone, "From the perspective of soul cultivation, these are not abnormal. There are many reasons for this situation." She turned to look at Li Chuan, "Among them are the cause and effect. The reason still needs to be explained by the heirs of the Classic of Patterns."
Li Chuan directly asked the question to Wen Guying, "Master Wen, I have told you everything I saw. What are you going to do now?"
"What do you think of Brother Li?" Daochang Wen asked.
Li Chuan was very thoughtful. He glanced at Jin Rong, who nodded to him.
Li Chuan gained confidence.
He said: "Please send Pan Ma's grandson and Brother Guan back first."
Pan's mother followed the yamen servant and left.
After Guan Zhongqiu walked halfway, he broke away and said, "I want to hear how you plan to sentence me."
Wen Guying also said: "Let him stay."
Li Chuan agreed and said, "Now it's actually three things."
"The first thing is very simple. Brother Guan killed a person from Xialin Village and he should be executed according to the law. The case has been reported to the court and the verdict has been approved. He will be executed next month."
"The second thing is also very simple. The crowned monk claimed that he was killing a strange ghost. The strange ghost is not a human being and may even harm humans. Therefore, killing the strange ghost is a meritorious deed, and naturally there is no need to die. But according to Elder Wei and I Judging from the results of the examination, Brother Crown and the White Walkers he calls are the same existence. He believes that the White Walkers deserve to die, and according to his own logic, he himself deserves to die. Brother Crown, what do you think?"
Guan Zhongqiu raised his eyelids and said, "Su Niang and her granddaughter should also die."
"This is the third thing. We need to investigate how the people in Xialin Village became strange ghosts." Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying, "Does Chief Wen think it is these three things?"
Wen Guying nodded: "Brother Li analyzed it very clearly. What do you plan to do?"
"There is still a month left. We will first take Pan Niang and Brother Guan into custody, and then ask someone to take care of the little girl. During this month, we will try our best to find out the truth about Xialin Village."
"What about one month later?" Wen Guying asked.
"If you find out the truth, you will naturally know what to do; if you can't find the truth..." Li Chuan said with difficulty, "Then the ghost is not a human being, and it is safer to die. If you are a young girl, send it to the nursery to recover her soul. Xiu comes to see me every year. If there is no abnormality after the age of twenty-one, he will not come again. If there is an emergency, wait until something happens."
Jin Rong also spoke up at this time and said: "Brother Li has thought about it very carefully. What do you think, Master Wen, Elder Wei, and Master Chanhai?"
Wen Guying said: "I have no objection, I just hope that the time can be extended a little longer." He sighed softly, "Maybe you think that I want to protect Junior Brother Guan. I admit that I do have such thoughts in my heart, but Now, I am more concerned about the anomalies in Xialin Village and what exactly the 'White Walkers' are."
He said: "It involves the secrets of Xuanmen, let's find a place to talk about it. Junior Brother Guan, you shouldn't listen to the next words."
Guan Zhongqiu said: "I will go back to prison right now."
Then, Wen Guying asked Liu Canjun to find a place for them to talk. So Liu Canjun led them through several ceremonial gates and arrived at a public hall.
After that, he stayed outside the door from a distance.
After sitting down, Wen Guying said: "I found records in the files of the Four Gods Palace. Three thousand years ago, someone ascended in Xialin Village. This may be the reason for the abnormality in Xialin Village."
"Who is that immortal?" Elder Wei asked.
"I don't know." Wen Guying replied.
"Don't you know your identity after your ascension?" Elder Wei asked.
"I don't know." Wen Guying still replied, "There is only one entry in the case file of the Four Gods Palace. The person who recorded it was Gusong Taoist. He sensed someone ascending through the tribulation in the southwest. When he passed by, the cloud of tribulation had dispersed. , it should be that the ascension was successful, hence this record."
Then he said: "Everyone here knows what happened to the Shuangye Sect twenty years ago, right?"
Everyone nodded.
"The Frost Leaf Sect technique and burning incense can allow the monks' spiritual thoughts to directly observe the inner abyss, which led to their sudden enlightenment and overcoming the bottleneck in a short time. This is also the reason why the immortal took action in the end."
Wen Guying's expression was solemn, "Junior Brother Guan once asked the Immortal to check if there was anything wrong with Su Niang, but the Immortal didn't see any problems. Therefore, I suspect that the appearance of the White Walkers this time is also related to Xin Yuan."
He asked Li Chuan: "Brother Li, can you give me some more time?"
After Li Chuan thought for a while, he said: "If nothing is found within a month, then I think there is no need to prolong it any longer. But if there is progress and clues are found, and we can continue to pursue it, then we can go further." If it is extended for two months, it cannot be extended for more than two months.”
Wen Guying immediately agreed and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."
Li Chuan asked again: "Can you tell us why you defend him so much?"
"I'm not defending him, but Junior Brother Guan is different from other monks," Wen Guying turned to look at Jin Rong, "At your age, you probably don't know. Your master knows. I originally thought Gong Wu Just seeing Junior Brother Guan's name, he would have stopped him. Unexpectedly, the verdict was immediately passed. You only know today that he killed a whole village of people thirty or forty years ago, which was the last time the imperial court carried out a large-scale demon suppression. That time happened to be when he was traveling down the mountain, and he saved more than one village or two people."
Jin Rong replied: "Master only asked me to cooperate with Brother Li."
Then he said: "Qin Tian Jian does not interfere in politics."
