"Does my husband know Qian Daniu?"
In the area where there was an air of dilapidation everywhere, Rong Fei asked an old man who was leaning on the corner and smoking a cigarette.
The old man opened his slightly cloudy eyes, knocked the cigarette pot in his hand against the wall brick a few times, and after knocking off the burnt ash inside, he looked at Rong Feidao warily.
"Who are you and why are you asking about the Qian boy?"
"My name is Zhao Sanqi. I am Qian Daniu's distant cousin. I came to Kyoto to study. Before leaving, I was told by my mother to come here to visit my aunt and her family."
Rong Fei made up lies to deceive the old man.
"Oh, it turns out they are relatives."
The alert look on the old man's face faded when he heard this, and he nodded.
"It's a pity that you were born a step too late. Everyone in the old Qian family is dead."
"Ah, how could this be? My mother received a letter from my aunt last year."
Rong Fei pretended to be in disbelief.
Then the old man told the tragic story of Qian's mother and son recently.
"That bastard who suffered a thousand blows actually drugged his own mother to death in order to make money from gambling. I pity the eldest daughter of the Qian family, but she has to endure all the hardships to raise a white-eyed wolf."
"I didn't expect that my cousin from the Qian family would do such an unscrupulous thing. He died well!"
Rong Fei echoed indignantly.
"Hey, old man, what does my white-eyed wolf cousin usually do for a living, and who does he associate with?"
"What a living! If he had a living, he wouldn't kill his own mother. He's just an idle scoundrel. The guy who lives with that...that one in the West City is named...Sun De...Sun De is something like that. This guy is old and has no brains. It’s not working anymore, please let me think about it again, Sun De…”
"Sun Decai?"
A name flashed in Rong Fei's mind and he blurted it out.
"Ah, yes, yes, even his name is Sun Decai, he is also a gangster. In addition, there is a cart driver, his name is Zhou."
"Zhou Hu?"
"Yes, that's Zhou Hu. He has a gloomy face all day long and can't beat him with three sticks. It's like everyone owes him money."
The old man nodded in response.
"My father-in-law, your memory is quite good. It is much better than that of ordinary young people."
Rong Fei happily complimented the old man and left.
Walking out of this shabby neighborhood, Rong Fei had a strange look on his face.
Sun Decai and Zhou Hu, who kidnapped and trafficked women, were acquainted with Qian Da Niu, the man who murdered his mother and blackmailed Ji Rouer. Is this a coincidence or are they just the same?
Qian Daniu works for Jishi Medical Center and Baokang Pharmacy, and is acquainted with human traffickers Sun Decai and Zhou Hu. Through this indirect connection, can we suspect that Hao Dongjia and shopkeeper Dong are also related to the human trafficking case?
No, when there are too few clues to make effective inferences, such preconceived guesses can easily lead to deviations in the direction of the investigation. It is better to wait for the investigation results from Lao Gu and others.
If Jishi Medical Center and Baokang Drug Store are really related to human trafficking, it is impossible that there will be no clues left.
Rong Fei shook his head and put the messy thoughts in the corner.
After looking up at the sky, he walked towards the outside of the city.
The city gates of Kyoto have not been closed for hundreds of years, but people, vehicles, and goods entering and exiting the city still need to be inspected by the imperial army.
Rong Fei had changed his appearance at this time, so naturally he could no longer use his identity as the arrester of the Immortal Division. They queued up and went to the interrogation office in the city gate cave. They took out a bronze medal of Ji Xian Division's agent borrowed from Li Jun and fooled him.
Arriving outside the city, walking along the post road for three or four miles, I saw a small pavilion next to the fork ahead.
It was approaching evening at this time, and there were few pedestrians on the post road and they were all walking in a hurry. There was only one person standing in the small pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Rong Fei walked into the pavilion and turned around in a white shirt.
"Nice magical power."
Seeing Rong Fei's changed appearance, Yu Qingzhi praised him.
Yu Qingzhi only knew that Rong Fei had realized three magical powers at once, but he never asked which three they were and what was so magical about them. Rong Fei also knew that Yu Qingzhi had comprehended a total of six magical powers, including Wugou and Qiankun in his sleeves. Rong Fei never asked what the other four magical powers were called and what they could do.
Although the two trust each other and are both teachers and friends, they are both very careful people who give each other and themselves enough space.
As the saying goes, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. This is the truth.
After chatting for a few words about Rong Fei's newly revealed supernatural powers, Rong Fei asked about the investigation status of the Feng Shui array discovered in all directions in Kyoto.
"After Lao Liu's verification, it can be determined that it is a large formation that robs Kyoto's luck. However, there is no way to know the name of the large formation and who posted it."
"Luck?"
Rong Fei muttered with a strange expression.
Rong Fei had heard of the theory of luck. It was said that the amount of luck determined the prosperity of a dynasty, but Rong Fei scorned its mysterious and mysterious effect.
It's just something made up by Feng Shui magicians to fool the stupid king.
Rong Fei's expression was noticed by Yu Qingzhi, and he smiled slightly.
"The theory of luck has been around for a long time. Although the Yin Yang sorcerer lineage has long since declined, the theory of luck has always been circulated among the top officials of the imperial court. It often became a tool used to criticize hostile forces during factional and party disputes.
In fact, luck is real, and its nature is similar to the Xingming Qi you absorbed, but it is purer. The Qi of Xingming originates from various extreme emotions of the human race. When a person is in a certain emotion such as joy, anger, sorrow, love, hate and separation, the weak spiritual energy in the body will be stimulated and overflow outside the body, and due to being contaminated with extreme emotions, It is in conflict with the original aura between heaven and earth. Good, bad, all kinds of such auras come together to form the aura of punishment.
But in fact, two types of Xingming Qi with completely opposite emotions will cancel each other out when they meet. The good is offset by the bad, and the remaining bad is also the Qi of Xingming. If the bad is offset by the good, the remaining good is luck, also known as human fireworks.
The more abundant the luck, it means that the good things of this dynasty outweigh the bad things, and it is not an exaggeration to call it prosperous. The gradual decline of luck shows that there are more and more bad things in this dynasty, which have outweighed the good ones, which proves that this dynasty is declining.
Therefore, luck cannot determine the rise and fall of a dynasty, but those who understand Qi can tell the lifespan of a dynasty through luck. "
"As you said, luck cannot determine the fate of a dynasty. So the Feng Shui formation that the person who set up the formation put so much effort into setting up has become a joke?"
Rong Fei asked puzzledly.
Yu Qingzhi smiled and said nothing, just looked at Rong Fei quietly.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Does it have anything to do with me? How is it possible? The wordless tombstone in the back hill of Tanxi Town has been standing there for more than 40 years, and I wasn't even born at that time.
Brother Yu, you still look at me like this, do you want me to guess? Since I am asked to guess, the answer must be within my knowledge. The people who set up the formation had a big motive. Since they were not targeting the imperial court, they were... Ji Xian Si!
But Ji Xiansi has already fallen like that in your hands, Brother Yu... Ahem... Sorry for the slip of the tongue. It's not worth spending so much time and energy, so the formation is actually aimed at you, or to be more precise, it is aimed at the five great formations you control.
Therefore, the Five Jue Formation operates based on Kyoto's luck as its source of power. The purpose of the Feng Shui Formation to plunder Kyoto's luck is to weaken the power of the Five Ultimate Formations. The only people in this world who are unhappy with the Five Jue Formation are the cultivation world, or more accurately, the Four Jue Holy Lands. The remnants of the Yin Yang Warlock lineage happened to be absorbed by Qiankun Temple, one of the Four Holy Lands.
Haha, it seems that the mastermind behind the Feng Shui array has been quite clear. "
Rong Fei smiled.
"Well, I guess so."
Yu Qingzhi nodded.
"Then what should we do next? Should we send a stern statement of condemnation to Qiankun Temple?"
Rong Fei said jokingly.
"Next I will go into seclusion and try to break through to the third level of Heaven Realm."
Yu Qingzhi said righteously.
"It's a good idea to use defense as an offense, but...how sure are you? If you fail to break through and get stuck inside, I will directly disband the Jixian Division and obediently hand over the Five Ultimate Formation. Although it sounds very strange to use the mantis as a chariot. It's cool, but I won't risk death."
Rong Fei said half-truthfully.
"I have gained a lot of insights from practicing Tai Chi recently. I think it should be...maybe...maybe...it's not a big problem. Hahaha, I'm not joking. Breaking through from the fourth level to the third level is not that simple overnight. There are several small levels to break through one by one. According to previous posts, Judging from the experience left by the head catcher, your life will only be in danger when you break through the last level. The previous small levels are relatively simple. I will not take the risk before you advance to the fourth level."
Yu Qingzhi smiled.
"That is to say, as long as I don't advance to the fourth level, you will never take the risk of breaking through. This matter will be easy to handle."
"If I still can't break through to the fourth level when I'm fifty, the accumulated spiritual power will burst the spiritual space, and I will be dead."
"What kind of bullshit setting is this?"
Rong Fei said in shock.
"It's written in the God-catching Technique, didn't you read it?"
Rong Fei was speechless. He was too busy with work and had no time to read it.
"So, how expensive are you this year?"
"Forty-six."
"Oh, okay, okay, at least there are still four years. Let me ask one more question, does the setting of exploding and dying at the age of fifty also include me? And where is Sister Rou?"
"Rou'er is definitely fine. The Immortal Killing Arrow has a different approach, and its power has nothing to do with spiritual power. As for you, I honestly don't know. After all, you learned the God-catching Technique through visualization diagrams. Maybe it has something to do with us. It’s not quite the same.”
"coming!"
Yu Qingzhi suddenly stopped talking, raised his chin and gestured towards the outside of the pavilion.
Rong Fei turned around and saw a slightly stooped figure in the distance, leading an old horse and walking slowly towards this side.
The figure walked in and saw Yu Qingzhi coming out of the pavilion. Wei Lin, who was dressed as an ordinary person and had a fake beard stuck to his chin, smiled helplessly.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you. This little brother is... eh... you are... Mr. Rong?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Wei has a good eye."
Rong Fei, who had changed his appearance, walked over, hugged Wei Lin's shoulders and smiled.
"Isn't the team going to Taizhou leaving tomorrow? Why did I sneak out early by myself? Could it be that Mr. Wei was planning a private visit incognito?"
"I know I can't hide it from you, kid. Taizhou and Kyoto are thousands of miles apart. Taizhou's commander-in-chief has 30,000 cavalry, and he has the right to tax and trade on his own. Your Majesty is not at ease. Just listen to these words for yourself, kid. , but please don’t spread it to outsiders.”
Wei Lin, who realized that she had leaked something, quickly warned her.
"I see how quickly you adjusted to your state, I admire you!"
Rong Fei joked with a playful smile.
"Go away, you will make fun of the Zajia family."
Wei Lin shook off Rong Fei's arm, took two steps forward and stood in front of Yu Qingzhi, cupping her hands.
"We say goodbye today, and we will never see each other again. We will always treasure it!"
"You also cherish the bitter cold in the north."
Yu Qingzhi also responded with a smile and cupped his fists.
"With you two seeing me off, the loneliness in the Za family's heart has been relieved a lot. Let's say goodbye. If it's too late, we won't be able to catch up with Sutou."
Wei Lin also had a straightforward temperament, so she waved her hand and started on her way.
Rong Fei leaned over and stuffed a small cloth bag into Wei Lin's arms.
"Xiao Shunzi cannot leave the palace privately, so please ask me to give this to you."
Wei Lin was slightly startled when she heard this. The emotions she had been holding back showed signs of losing control, and her eyes had begun to turn slightly red.
With trembling hands, he opened the cloth bag and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the treasure notes and various jewelry inside.
"The little brat has this kind of filial piety, and it's not in vain for the Za family to love him. But how did this little brat get so much money? If he steals and sells the palace property, he will be beheaded. Young boy Rong, send these back to him. , Redeem what you can redeem, and if you can’t redeem it, find a way to get a close one. Money and possessions are the most important thing, but life is the most important thing. Just tell him that filial piety has been received by the family, and ask him to serve him with heart. My dear prince, don’t go astray.”
"Well, I didn't make it clear. I owe you the treasure and these are Xiao Shunzi's."
Rong Fei pulled aside two rolls of treasure notes totaling ten thousand taels of silver and pointed at the remaining jewelry.
Jewelry also has high and low values. The experienced Wei Lin just glanced and estimated that the jewelry Xiao Shunzi sent was only worth two to three hundred taels of silver at most, and she immediately felt relieved.
Lao Huai happily accepted all the belongings and waved goodbye to the two of them.
"Hey, let me tell you, if you don't ask me where the ten thousand taels I gave you come from, then you won't worry about me going astray."
Rong Fei shouted at Wei Lin's back.
"I have confidence in you, kid. You are smarter than a monkey. Hahaha..."
Wei Lin smiled without looking back.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, until the man and the horse disappeared at the end of his sight, Rong Fei sighed.
He turned around and was about to ask Yu Qingzhi to go back to the city, but his shadow was no longer around him. This guy had left silently at some point.
…
In the evening, Ji Rouer returned to the Xuanwu Hutong courtyard humming an unknown ditty.
Although my body was extremely tired, my mood was extremely happy. Whenever she sees the smiles on the faces of patients who have been tortured by diseases because their pain is relieved or they see hope of recovery, Ji Rouer can't help but feel happy along with them.
As soon as he walked into the small courtyard, he saw Yu Qingzhi, dressed in white gauze, standing in the center of the courtyard.
"Brother Yu, you haven't had dinner yet. I'll do it right away. It'll be ready soon."
"Rou'er is back. Haha, there's no rush for dinner. Come over here. I have something to entrust to you."
Yu Qingzhi waved and said.
"Brother, just tell me what you have to do."
Ji Rou'er didn't ask what was going on and just nodded obediently.
"I will be in seclusion for a period of time, ranging from three to five days to seven or eight days. During this period of seclusion, you can help take care of the Five Jue Formation."
With that said, Yu Qingzhi took out a mottled and simple sheathed waist knife from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Rouer.
"This...I'm afraid I can't do it."
Ji Rouer knew that the Five Ultimate Formation was related to the safety of Kyoto. How could she, a little girl, shoulder such a huge responsibility?
"Haha, don't worry. Your ability is not yet able to fully control the formation, so I just let you take care of it. If there are abnormal spiritual power fluctuations in Kyoto City, you can inform me through the formation."
With that said, Yu Qingzhi handed the ancient sword to Ji Rou'er and explained to her in detail some of the most basic control methods of the Five Ultimate Formation. Then a spiritual mark was left on Ji Rouer's forehead. With this mark, the ancient sword would recognize Ji Rouer as its master in a short time.
After confirming that Ji Rou'er had mastered the control method of the formation, Yu Qingzhi went into seclusion to practice alone.
The Five Ultimate Formation was created by catching the gods and collecting the essence of all formations from ancient times to the present. It integrates offense and defense and has the function of detecting fluctuations in spiritual power.
The ancient sword that Yu Qingzhi handed over to Ji Rouer is the eye of the formation that controls the Five Ultimate Formation. After activating the formation and successfully recognizing its master, the range for detecting spiritual power can be set.
For example, Yu Qingzhi set the detection range to the second realm of heaven and earth, that is, the sixth level to the first level. Whenever a monk within this range enters Kyoto City, the formation will be automatically triggered and tracked at all times.
In addition, the array also has the function of selective tracking. Regardless of the level of cultivation of the person being tracked, as long as he is a monk, has spiritual power in his body, and has been in contact with the controller. Then within the scope of Kyoto City, there is no way for the controller to hide.
After Yu Qingzhi left, Ji Rouer stared at the ancient sword in her hand in a daze.
More than ten days ago, I was just a young doctor in a remote small county, but now I have the power to decide the life and death of millions in a city. What a wonderful encounter in life.
After being in a daze for a while, Ji Rouer's mouth suddenly revealed a naughty smile.
Rong Fei was busy investigating the case and disappeared all day long. Murong Qiushui and Rong Lan also ran off to have fun somewhere. It was just in time to use the large array to detect their traces.
Hee hee, it’s fun just thinking about it.
Going to the small courtyard where Yu Qingzhi lives next door, Ji Rouer found a groove on the stone slab in the center of the yard, inserted the ancient knife into the groove, and felt a rather mysterious feeling in her heart.
It's like there is an extra organ in the body. This organ is invisible but does exist.
According to the method taught by Yu Qingzhi, Ji Rou'er established a connection with the formation, and then the ground of the courtyard began to flicker with a cyan light when she raised her palm, and then the light floated up to form a light curtain, and two slightly blurred lights appeared in the light curtain. figure.
Ji Rouer was shocked by the scene in front of her. She opened her mouth in surprise and her eyes seemed a little blurred.
In the dark night, the vivid blue light and shadow seemed to be really standing in front of me. As the light and shadow become clearer and clearer, even the subtle expressions on the face can be seen clearly. The only shortcoming is that there is only a picture but no sound.
After the shock, Ji Rouer looked at the two figures in the picture with confusion.
What she was looking for was Murong Qiu Shui and Rong Lan, but what she saw in the picture were two tall, handsome young men.
Did the formation make a mistake?
