"Sir, Bao Hui certainly deserves to die, but what this watchman said must be true."
Liu Ding spoke again at this time.
Hearing him speak, before anyone else said anything, the watchman's legs began to feel weak.
The old bustard, who was said to be the master of suffering, was suddenly sentenced to execution.
I am just a spectator.
"Sir... I just looked at it from a distance, but didn't see it clearly..."
Niu Pu had a strong desire to survive and quickly defended himself.
"It doesn't matter, you just need to tell me everything you saw at that time."
Lou Hai persuaded Niu Pu gently and asked him to stand in front of the mirror.
Niu Pu stood in front of the mirror, his legs trembling. After all, Bao Hui had learned from past experiences that if he said he was not afraid, it would definitely be a lie.
"The night before, I passed by Lai Fu's house during the night shift and heard what sounded like screams inside..."
Niu Pu spoke eloquently. Although his voice was not loud, what he said made He Pingan frown.
It was exactly the same as what was said before, and He Pingan didn't feel anything unusual.
Just now, before Bao Hui went to the Heart-Questing Mirror, his consciousness had already noticed something was wrong, and discovered that there was a strange magic power in Bao Hui's body that could withstand the white light of the Mind-Questioning Mirror.
So he secretly took action to destroy that magic power.
Sure enough, after the magic power was destroyed by He Ping'an, Bao Hui, who was originally extremely calm, said everything in his heart.
When He Pingan and Lu Yong went to the Heart-Questioning Mirror, He Pingan activated the dark spiritual power of the Immortality Art and the Turtle Breathing Technique to cover Lu Yong's mind in it, so that they could counteract the Mind-Questioning Mirror.
Sure enough, the mind-asking mirror couldn't detect Lu Yong's true words at all.
To put it bluntly, the Mind-Questing Mirror is also a magical weapon. Since it is a magical weapon, there are countermeasures.
Moreover, this mind-asking mirror was not made by Semi-Sanctuary, but was imitated by later generations, so it is not without loopholes.
The real heart-searching mirror made by the Semi-Sacred Institute has always been hidden in the palace. It will not be used easily unless it is involved in the serious crime of treason.
Of course, this mind-asking mirror is not ordinary. If it is activated by a third-grade Confucian and Taoist monk, even a second-grade monk can find out the thoughts.
But if you are a first-level monk, you have a way to block the power of the Mind-Questing Mirror.
However, everyone present would have never imagined that a first-grade monk would take action in such a case.
Let’s get back to the truth…
There is no magic power in Niu Pu's body, so everything he said is true.
After listening to what Niu Pu said, the court fell into a rare silence.
Four people took the mirror at the same time, but the answers they got were completely opposite.
Lou Hai even had doubts about the mind-inquiring mirror. Could it be that this mind-inquiring mirror, which has been tried all the time, is broken?
Yang Qing muttered: "Could it be that Niu Pu has seen a ghost?"
He Ping'an originally frowned, but when he heard Yang Qing's words, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and he thought of something.
He was very sure that Lou Hai did not see him and Lu Yong.
Then, there is only one possibility!
Someone staged the scene he thought of in front of Niu Pu, so he could pass the test of the Mirror of Mind.
This is why what Niu Pu said was not consistent with what happened at the scene. It was clearly Lu Yong who did it, but when it came to his mouth, it turned out to be He Ping'an who killed him!
But it can pass the test of asking the mind mirror.
Thinking of this, He Ping'an said to Lou Hai: "Master Lou, I have an idea that may be able to explain the situation of the cow genealogy."
When Lou Hai heard what he said, he was worried that he couldn't find the reason, so he quickly said: "Tell me about it."
"Master Lou, this person is still guilty and what he says cannot be taken seriously."
At this moment, Liu Ding suddenly spoke.
"Oh, can you explain why this happens?"
Lou Hai narrowed his eyes, glanced at Liu Ding, and asked him, which made him speechless for a moment.
Gongsun Yuanyi didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and he never spoke.
Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Lou Hai looked at He Pingan, waiting for his explanation.
"Ahem..."
He Ping'an cleared his throat, and it was time to show his holiness in front of others again.
"Actually, this matter seems very simple, but it is extremely troublesome to talk about. Why not invite a Taoist monk to come to the hall and demonstrate it on the spot."
"Everyone will understand immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Wang took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to cooperate with He Pingan.
"I think it's inappropriate. Chief Wang is He Ping'an's boss, so he should avoid suspicion. If a Taoist monk is needed, it's better to let him do it."
At this moment, Gongsun Yuanyi stood up and spoke.
He is the fourth rank of the Dao Sect and the fifth rank of the King Master. If we put it this way, it is indeed more appropriate to say that he is Gongsun Yuanyi.
Even Lou Hai nodded repeatedly, knowing that Gongsun Yuanyi was more suitable.
Gongsun Yuanyi had a proud look on his face, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, no matter what tricks you play, you can't pass the level of Pindao.
Yang Qing was about to stand up and express his objection, but He Ping'an waved his hand and said it was okay.
"Since Master Gongsun is willing to come out and demonstrate, that would be great."
He Ping'an smiled and seemed unconcerned.
Gongsun Yuanyi was a little surprised as to why he was not affected by him at all.
"Immortal Master Gongsun, please come here."
He Pingan instructed Gongsun Yuanyi to step forward. The other party was a little hesitant, wondering what He Pingan meant. He hesitated for a few moments before walking onto the stage.
He Ping'an said: "Please use Immortal Gongsun's Taoist magic to simulate the murder scene that night, but replace the murderer with Immortal Gongsun."
Gongsun Yuanyi was furious, his eyes widened: "What, the murderer is replaced by a poor man?"
He Pingan's face was calm, but he said extremely firmly: "Yes, if Immortal Master Gongsun is not willing, then Master Wang will still come."
Upon hearing this, Master Wang was ready to come forward.
After hesitating for a moment, Gongsun Yuanyi could only bite the bullet and said in a low voice: "Okay, here comes the poor man!"
But in my heart, I was thinking about what method I should use to steal the beam and change the pillar later.
He Ping'an invited a tall and thin government servant to play the role of watchman.
He said: "Ask Master Gongsun to confuse him with illusions and recreate the scene before his eyes."
Hearing He Pingan's instructions, Gongsun Yuanyi sneered in his heart and cast the spell according to the instructions, but he was ready to plant a flaw in the illusion.
Scenes of bloody killings appeared in front of the tall and thin government servant. Everyone present saw that the government servant was trapped in an illusion and couldn't extricate himself. His expression was constantly distorted, as if he had seen some horrific scene.
Before the illusion was over, He Ping'an took action directly, and with a swaying figure, he carried the government servant to the mirror.
"Master Lou, please ask me quickly."
He Pingan said.
At this time, the government servant was still in a daze and had not yet awakened from the illusion.
Lou Hai had vaguely guessed He Ping'an's intention at this time, and followed the instructions to activate Haoran's righteousness, and wrapped the yamen servant in the Wenxinjing Mirror.
"Wang Wu, tell the truth about what you saw in Majiazhuang the day before yesterday."
The yamen servant named Wang Wu was wrapped in the soft white light of the Wen Xin Mirror, and his mind calmed down a little, and he said: "Young man, I saw Master Gongsun in Majiazhuang and killed someone..."
When the words fell, Gongsun Yuan's expression changed. He had just planted a flaw in the illusion, but why didn't he react?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. At this time, the whole incident was completely beyond his control.
Little did he know that the moment he activated the illusion, he had already fallen into He Ping'an's illusion.
Everything was actually happening before his eyes, but in reality, there was no step to bury the flaw, but he thought he had already planted the illusion.
In the eyes of everyone, they could only see Gongsun Yuanyi taking action, but they did not know that Gongsun Yuanyi had fallen into He Ping'an's illusion.
Two illusions are superimposed, true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between false and true.
Only He Ping'an knows whose is true and whose is false.
The yamen servant named Wang Wu stepped back from the mirror. In just a quarter of an hour, he felt as if he had experienced life and death. His legs were weak and he felt like his body had been hollowed out.
Everyone in the hall looked calm, only Lou Hai put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, that's it."
"It was someone who used illusions to confuse Niu Pu and show him the scene of He Pingan killing the three people. That's why he believed that He Pingan killed the person and deceived the mirror."
"Because this is indeed a scene that has appeared before his eyes."
"He did not lie to others, but in fact, he was deceived by others."
He Ping'an nodded and thought to himself that it would be much easier for him to have such a person who could explain things.
Yang Qing suddenly realized it at this time, and when he looked at He Pingan, his eyes couldn't help but look a little different.
This little brother turns out to be so smart, only a few hundred million points behind me...
At this time, everyone thought, no wonder that after the half-sage made the Heart-Inquiring Mirror, Emperor Xuanming said that the Heart-Inquiring Mirror was good, but it could only be used as evidence for handling cases and could not be directly used as a basis for handling cases.
It seems that Emperor Xuanming may have discovered the flaw in the Questioning Mirror many years ago.
Master Wang said, "In that case, Mr. Lou, this matter should have nothing to do with our safety."
Lou Hai said: "Of course it has nothing to do with it. There should be another real culprit in this matter, and the case needs to be re-investigated."
After speaking, his inquiring eyes looked at Liu Ding and Gongsun Yuanyi.
When he saw Lou Hai, he was about to announce his resignation. Liu Ding quietly moved to Gongsun Yuanyi and pushed him.
But they found that Gongsun Yuanyi was trembling all over and sweating profusely, as if he had encountered something very scary.
"Zhenren Gongsun?"
Liu Ding's voice became louder and he pushed him.
"Um......"
Gongsun Yuanyi finally came to his senses. Seeing everyone present looking at him, he said in a panic: "Oh, yes, since the case is over, let's go."
Liu Ding frowned, what's wrong with Gongsun Yuanyi, why does he seem to be in a state of confusion.
"Wait!"
He Ping'an suddenly said: "Although the suspicions of brother Lu Yong and myself have been cleared, we can judge from this that whoever used illusions to confuse the watchman will be the most likely real culprit to kill these three people. "
"And I suspect that the person who uses illusions to confuse the watchman is here!"
"What?"
Everyone present was immediately shocked. When they thought about it, the man should have gone away long ago after confusing the cow genealogy.
Only Gongsun Yuan's face turned pale, and he pulled Liu Ding to retreat.
"Master Gongsun, where are you going?"
When He Pingan saw the two of them leaving, he suddenly asked.
"My... master suddenly sent a message, saying that there is still a furnace of holy elixirs that have not been refined, and asked me to go back and assist."
As soon as Gongsun Yuan heard He Pingan calling him to stop, he quickly moved out of Tao Zhenren.
After hearing this, Lou Hai quickly said: "In this case, the holy elixir is of course important. Gongsun Zhenren can go to refine the elixir. If the case is found out, I will send someone to inform Gongsun Zhenren."
Seeing Lou Hai stepping down for him, Gongsun Yuanyi nodded quickly and said, "Thank you so much, Master Lou. I will rush back to the Palace of Eternal Life now."
He Ping'an frowned. Originally, he was going to direct the fire on Gongsun Yuanyi in the courtroom. He suspected that the person who used illusions to confuse the watchman was Gongsun Yuanyi.
But in the feudal dynasty, as long as the emperor is removed, it is difficult to investigate the officials.
Lou Hai should have guessed He Pingan's intention, so he didn't want to investigate further.
He was a well-rounded person, and it was impossible for him to offend Gongsun Yuanyi's master Tao Xian for this matter, so He Pingan had no choice but to give up.
Moreover, with these three lives alone, it is definitely impossible to bring down Gongsun Yuanyi who is protected by Master Tao.
In the end, it still depends on who is stronger.
...
Outside Jingzhao Mansion, Yang Qing and others returned to the Changsheng Palace first.
He Pingan said goodbye to Lu Yong.
He Ping'an suddenly asked: "Lu Yong, what does the person who told you Liu Ruoxiang will be traded look like the day before yesterday?"
"The man was dressed all in black and had a mask on his face. Xiaosheng couldn't see clearly, but the aura of that man seemed to be somewhat similar to that of Gongsun Zhenren."
Lu Yong thought for a moment and then said.
"About what time?"
He Pingan asked again.
"It was probably around 2:00 a.m. that day."
Lu Yong recalled the scene at that time. Because this incident left a deep impression on him, he remembered the time very clearly.
"As expected."
He Ping'an chewed for a while. He had saved Lu Yong before, and felt a little strange in his heart. He felt that this was too coincidental.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that just half an hour after he came back from Zhongzhou, Lu Yong got the news. Then he walked out of Lichun Court and met Lu Yong being beaten.
Moreover, Lu Yong was able to learn about Liu Ruoxiang in advance. Now that he thought about it, someone deliberately revealed the news to him.
Therefore, the matter between Lu Yong and Liu Ruoxiang was very likely to be manipulated secretly.
From being imprisoned to being humiliated, Liu Ruoxiang was all meant to draw out He Ping'an.
Just let him save it.
He Ping'an thought in his mind that it was probably because he killed Jiang Yishan that he aroused the other party's suspicion.
Therefore, even if he doesn't care about Lu Yong's affairs, the other party will find other ways to attract him to take action.
Until he was forced to reveal his identity.
In fact, Lu Yong and Liu Ruoxiang may have been implicated by themselves...
He Pingan guessed that this mysterious man was probably Gongsun Yuanyi.
It's getting more and more interesting...
A smile appeared at the corner of He Pingan's lips. This Gongsun Yuanyi, if he didn't arrange him properly, he would be worthy of the title of Martial Saint.
It would be best to lure out the people behind him at once and catch them all...
Lu Yong was not stupid either. Hearing He Ping'an's tone, he immediately thought of the key point: "Master He, what do you mean? Could it be that everything between me and Xiang'er happened for a reason?"
"indeed so."
He Ping'an pondered for a moment and then said: "However, what happens next has nothing to do with you. Your top priority is the upcoming spring."
Lu Yong said solemnly: "Xiaosheng understands that in the future, Xiaosheng will never go to places like Li Chun Yuan and other places with wooden fences and tiles. He will definitely be the top of the high school and live up to the trust of adults."
He Ping'an said happily: "That's very good. Don't let down Miss Liu's high expectations for you."
...
At midnight, there is no light in the starry night.
Outside Xuanyang City, Gongsun Yuanyi escaped from the city gate in a flying boat, turned into a streak of yellow light, cut through the sky, and swept away into the distance.
In just an hour, he had escaped thousands of miles and appeared on a barren mountain.
The cold wind passed by, and a white sword light tore through the sky like a shooting star chasing the moon. In an instant, it caught up with the flying boat, slashed through it with a sword, and the flying boat shattered. The panicked Gongsun Yuanyi in the flying boat turned into a ray of yellow light. Escape from it.
"Who are you?"
Gongsun Yuanyi felt a chill in his heart when he looked at the man in front of him, who was dressed in white and had a stern face.
This seems to be the legendary true immortal.
When did you provoke him?
"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I am here for Gusong Village!"
This man in white clothes and snowy clothes flashed a cold look at the corner of his mouth. He opened his hand and grabbed Gongsun Yuan with one hand. The sky and the earth changed color, and a big hand as white as jade came to cover the sky and the sun, covering Gongsun Yuan's eyes. all sight.
Gongsun Yuanyi's body glowed with green light, and an alchemy cauldron emerged from it.
However, as soon as the alchemy cauldron appeared, it was directly crushed into pieces by the endless power of the big hand.
Gongsun Yuanyi had no power to resist and fell into the hands of He Pingan's clone Ximen Chuixue.
"Huh......"
There was a hint of surprise on He Ping'an's face. Gongsun Yuanyi must be too easy to catch.
In his opinion, the other party had so many plans in front and arranged for Gongsun Yuanyi to leave the city. They must also want to lure him out.
But until he captured Gongsun Yuanyi, no one showed up. This situation was not right.
"Search for souls and capture souls!"
He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. He Ping'an activated his spiritual consciousness and searched for Gongsun Yuanyi's soul.
Before his spiritual consciousness fell, a strange smile suddenly flashed across Gongsun Yuanyi's face. In He Ping'an's sea of consciousness, his spiritual consciousness and Xiaoyan's divine number simultaneously warned him. This sense of crisis was even greater than when he faced the Buddha holding the ground directly. Sometimes, it’s even more terrifying.
Without time to think, He Ping'an threw Gongsun Yuanyi outward, his body turned into a golden light, and he instantly retreated a hundred miles away.
