For several days.
With Taoist Yun Lei as the core, and with the assistance of deputy deans Xu Ping and Lin Wuqing, the Ghost and God Department of Guangping County launched a series of investigations into the "Pink Skull Case".
Simultaneously proceed from both sides.
One starts from the source of the beauty picture album, and the other starts from the picture album "Painting Spirit".
Master Boyunlei sent immortal officials to "wait for the rabbit" and squat in major bookstores and shops to catch the imp on the spot who had turned the books into beauty picture albums.
I thought I could follow the "little devil" to check up.
As a result, after some review, the results were disappointing.
These "little ghosts" are originally lonely ghosts, vaguely controlled by people's magic and manipulated by others. They have no direct connection with the "Red Pink Skull", and there is no way to trace the "Red Pink Skull" with "ghosts".
The clue was interrupted.
Currently, the County Ghosts and Gods Department, in conjunction with the county government, is conducting a vigorous search of bookstores across the county, which has greatly curbed the circulation of "beauty albums."
But it’s of no use, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
If the "pink skull" cannot be corrected, investigating and dealing with the "beauty picture album" hidden in the bookstore and bookseller is "whack-a-mole".
After some rectification, the "Pink Skull and Bones Case" not only failed to be defeated, but began to spread to other places. "Pink Skeleton Cases" also began to appear in several counties in Qingzhou.
This made Xianting very angry, and ordered the ghosts and gods departments in various places to detect the case as soon as possible. At the same time, the total reward for the "Red Skull Case" was increased to 100,000 jade coins.
In addition to the huge increase in the total bounty, if key clues can be found, Xianting will reward you with a spiritual pill "Tianxin Peiyuan Pill".
"Tianxin Peiyuan Pill" is quite precious. It is refined from several thousand-year-old elixirs. It can strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence. It has the effect of improving Taoist cultivation and increasing the true essence of mana.
This elixir is most suitable for monks of the eighth and seventh levels of Taoism.
Taking a magic pill can save you years of hard work.
Of course, fifth- and sixth-grade monks can also take it, but the effect of the elixir is not that obvious.
Chu Chen was very excited about "Tianxin Peiyuan Pill".
As the realm improves, it is not easy to improve every small step in Taoist cultivation. You must practice hard every day, use the golden light of the lunar sun to refine your body, and slowly improve through water grinding.
He has currently enlightened two "Five-Sense Yuan Lords", and is still far away from the third "Five-Sense Yuan Lord".
Chu Chen's cultivation speed was astonishing. Half a year's work was equivalent to several years of hard work.
However, he is far from complacent.
He practiced [Golden Light Talisman Technique] and [Vajra Spiritual Power Sword Technique], and his state of mind and Taoism were completely up to par. His Taoist heart was firm, his Taoism was profound, and evil spirits were difficult to invade. Because, there is no pressure on him at all.
Perhaps stimulated by the "Tianxin Peiyuan Pill", the colleagues in charge of the "Pink Skeleton Case" were all very motivated. They each had a "Beauty Picture Album" and each showed their magical powers, trying to find out from the "Painting Spirit" clue.
Chu Chen is no exception.
These days, he has enjoyed "imperial" treatment.
"Hua Ling" kept trying to please him.
No matter how absurd what he said, he didn't need to be silent. Hua Ling would definitely agree with him and follow his wishes.
No matter what excessive demands he made, the beauty in the painting would satisfy him.
That was truly obedient, gentle and considerate.
For a moment, he almost fell into this gentle land, as if he had found a confidant who "understood him".
There was even a moment where I had the terrifying thought that my painting spirit might be different from the “pink skull” outside.
Upon noticing these "thoughts", Chu Chen broke into a cold sweat and hurried to Baihe Academy.
He is in danger of falling, but what about his younger brother Pengju?
Sure enough, it's broken!
After Chu Chen saw his younger brother Pengju again, he keenly discovered that his younger brother Pengju had poor energy and spirit, and there were faint signs of loss of Yang Qi and essence.
My younger brother Pengju read the books of sages and cultivated his body with the awe-inspiring righteousness of heaven and earth every day. He became strong and free from all kinds of diseases. This state of malaise is very abnormal.
No need to think too much, my younger brother Pengju fell.
Although Peng Ju keeps saying that once it involves the transition of "Yang Qi Jing Yuan", Sister Hua Ling will be a demon and evil spirit.
But the fact is that Peng was telling the truth.
He probably convinced himself, deceived himself, and then took the initiative to transfer the "Yang Qi Essence" to Hua Ling.
"It is a terrible power to charm people's hearts!"
Outside Baihe Academy, Chu Chen looked at his younger brother Pengju in the crowd from a distance, but did not call him out, nor did he step forward to ask why his younger brother Pengju did not listen to the advice and secretly transferred the Yang Qi essence to the "painting demon".
Chu Chen himself almost fell into the "Tender Country", and he knew the inside story better than anyone else.
I don’t blame my younger brother Pengju for his lack of concentration. It’s really because the demons are too powerful in their ways of bewitching people’s minds.
It is really abominable to do evil things in the world in the name of love.
At present, my younger brother Pengju is not in deep trouble. He has only lost a little Yang Qi and essence, which can be replenished with a little supplement. It will not affect the foundation of Confucianism and Taoism.
Of course, Chu Chen had no intention of disciplining his younger brother Pengju at this moment.
He has been confused for twenty years, and his relationship with his younger brother is not that deep. In front of his younger brother, his brother's majesty has not yet been established and he cannot discipline him.
The most important thing is that this matter involves a "confidant", and he takes action to discipline him. If one person is not good, it will easily hurt the feelings of the two brothers.
This matter must be left to Father Chen and Mother Chen.
So Chu Chen went directly to Chen's house and told his parents the whole story.
On the same day, Chen's father went to the academy to visit his younger brother Pengju, and then "discovered" that Pengju was mentally depressed. Then he joined forces with the academy teacher who also discovered some clues, and forcibly took away the "Beauty Picture Album" from his younger brother Pengju's hand, and cut off his life. Thoughts.
The beauty picture album was taken away, and my younger brother Pengju was left in a state of despair, as if his life had lost its meaning.
His eyes were dull and depressed!
Chu Chen was not involved in the whole process.
Even when the "Beauty Picture Album" in the hand of younger brother Pengju was discovered, it was he who "exposed" it and had nothing to do with Chu Chen.
"My little brother is hard to discipline!"
At this moment, Chu Chen understood a little bit why the new governor of Guangping was so angry.
If this case is not solved, I don’t know how many young men will be ruined.
With melancholy, Chu Chen returned to Yunshui Residence to prepare to close the net.
In the past two days, his "demon green lotus" began to vaguely hint at his spiritual weariness.
There was also a trace of indelible sadness in her gentle, watery eyes.
That pitiful expression was so pitiful that I couldn't bear to see him.
This means that the "pig-killing plate" has entered the "pig-killing stage."
The "Pink Skull" closed its net on him.
Coincidentally, Chu Chen was also preparing to close the net, thinking of having a good fight with the "Red Skull".
"Senior brother, you are back!"
The little ghost squatted in front of the gate of Yunshui Residence. When he saw Chu Chen, he felt quite happy.
"Senior brother, are you refining your weapons today? Can I go get some incense?"
The little kid is full of expectations.
(*?w?)
Chu Chen waved his hand: "Senior brother will not train weapons today!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left, leaving behind a confused little kid.
"Stinky monster! He stole the master and his senior brother, and they are dead."
"I curse the prices you buy for the products you buy, and they must be fakes..."
"I curse you to meet your enemies when you go out, and you will be in bad luck..."
"I curse you to be riddled with bad luck and be riddled with disasters..."
The little ghost squatted in a corner of Yunshui Residence, drawing circles with the burnt incense stick, cursing over and over again, his little face full of resentment...
