"Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master! The trial is on over there! Master Wu Huanzi has already begun to inquire about what happened."
Next door to Wu Wang's residence, there is a pavilion that looks simple and unpretentious on the outside, but is rich and gorgeous inside.
Liu Bairen was holding a purple clay pot. He laughed a few times when he heard his subordinate came to report, took a sip into the spout, and half-crossed his legs next to the soft couch.
"I don't believe that he can still play tricks? Let's explore again!"
After a while, another Immortal from Renhuang Pavilion hurriedly came.
"Pavilion Master! Master Wu Huanzi's brows are furrowed! He can't find anything suspicious at all!"
"Look, look!"
Liu Bairen spread his hands, looked at the old men standing aside, and said with a smile: "Isn't there nothing he can do? Can he blame us for not doing things well? He has no solution!"
Several palace masters and deputy masters nodded with smiles.
"Explore again!"
"yes!"
The errand boy took the order and left, but returned in a hurry after a while.
"Pavilion Master, Pavilion Master! Lord Wuwangzi asked, are there any immortals named Ke, Jintian or Fu in our sect?"
"What?"
Liu Bairen was a little confused, but said: "Go to the Immortal Hall and ask someone to check it out. All these immortals will be dragged over by him."
Let's have fun and make trouble, business still needs to be done.
"Keep exploring..."
"Pavilion Master, let's just use the Cloud Mirror Technique to watch," an old woman reminded, "Don't let them run around."
Liu Bairen obviously had some unfinished thoughts. He raised his hand and pointed out a cloud mirror. The scene in the punishment hall was revealed in the mirror. He happened to see Xue Kailong entering alone, bowing to Wu Wan and saying "I know this question".
"Xue Kailong? It's interesting."
Liu Bairen smiled and said:
"This Young Master of the Xue family has some problems with Wuwang. To be able to say so arrogantly that he can find out the matter is to ridicule Wuwang. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, for such a young man..."
"Pavilion Master?"
"What's wrong?" Liu Bairen didn't know why.
The old woman frowned and said, "Can you shut up? I can't hear what they said clearly."
Liu Bairen crossed his legs, curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, but stopped talking and continued to suck the teapot in his hand.
The cloud mirror showed that Wu Wuzheng and Xue Kailong were looking at each other.
Wu smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Xue, do you really have a way to find out about this matter?"
"Yes," Xue Kailong nodded slowly, "This matter seems complicated, but in fact there are hidden clues. If you combine all the unreasonable things, you can find the real culprit.
Sir, can you give me a chance?
I joined Renhuang Pavilion in a humble position with ambition and sincerity, and I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities for Renhuang Pavilion! "
Wu Wan was almost moved by what he said.
But then, Wu Wang felt a little doubtful in his heart.
Just as Wu Juan didn't believe that Zhi Mo could really start a family honestly, Wu Juan always felt that human nature was difficult to change in a short period of time.
Even though Xue Kailong suffered humiliation in Xuannv Sect last time and was determined to change his mind, the guy in front of him seemed to be a completely different person...
Where does the pride in his bones come from?
"In that case, just give it a try."
Wu Wang said loudly to the people around him:
"Everyone is working for the Renhuang Pavilion and the Human Realm. Whether it is Fellow Daoist Xue or everyone else, if you have any good ideas, you can tell them.
Our Lord Liu, who is sensible and open-minded, will naturally give young people opportunities to advance.
Fellow Daoist Xue, please start your inquiry. If you can break this situation today, you will be the first to succeed! "
Xue Kailong said happily: "Thank you so much, sir!"
In the eyes of others, his smile is full of youthful vigor and publicity, but it is not offensive.
In the secret and humid cave in the southwest of the wilderness, the middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the stone seat had a slight sneer on his lips, and then he began to frown and think again.
Xue Kailong did not waste any time and began to question the dozens of immortals from Renhuang Pavilion one by one.
The questions he asked were quite accurate, and his main purpose was to get these dozens of people to describe in detail what they were doing on the day of the incident.
This is actually just a show.
Who is he now?
Ten evils! Hey, Qiongqi is the first of the nine evils for the time being!
Qiongqi can see the fear in the hearts of living beings, and can see through the gaps in the hearts of living beings. His favorite thing is to instigate Zhongliang to rebel.
The chess pieces buried in the Renhuang Pavilion of the Ten Gods are actually immortal soldiers and low-level deacons. In Qiongqi's opinion, they are not worth mentioning. There are many such puppets, and it can see through them at a glance.
But a disciple like Xue Kailong has the opportunity to step into the upper echelons of Renhuang Pavilion and obtain more and more important information!
At this moment, the former is just a ladder for the latter to advance.
Moreover, as long as Xue Kailong can get in touch with the senior officials of Renhuang Pavilion, Qiongqi will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of his Taoist heart. If he can find the loophole, he can gradually...
Qiongqi's mouth showed a bit of a smile, and he continued to control Xue Kailong, asking some complicated and meaningless questions.
So, half a day later.
The punishment hall of the main pavilion of Renhuang Pavilion.
Wu Wan was sitting on the main seat, already a little drowsy at the moment.
There were hundreds of people standing in the hall, and most of them were called here to prove the 'line of action' of those dozens of people that day.
All the immortals around were trying to cheer themselves up, and one or two immortal soldiers couldn't help but lowered their heads and yawned.
Wu Wan looked at Xue Kailong's mouth, and there was only one question left in his heart...
Isn't he thirsty?
Have you really met a talent? Xue Kailong didn't expect to be able to go so far in investigating the case.
Unlike him, the young master of Kitano, he can only use some 'non-reasoning' means.
Wu Huan glanced at the crystal ball in his sleeve, thought for a moment, and decided to secretly take a look at the souls of everyone present.
[If you want someone to mark test papers, you must at least get the reference answers. 】
Otherwise, if Xue Kailong was allowed to blindfold a few of them, wouldn't it be wrong to harm a good person?
'Praise the Star God. '
Wu Wan put his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes and concentrated, all the scenes in the crystal ball in his sleeves were projected in his heart.
Soon, Wu Wang found a strange person among the dozens of people.
That was a female fairy soldier responsible for patrolling the dungeon.
She was sitting among the people being interrogated. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with her. Her eyes, like the others, were a bit worried and slightly tired.
But this female immortal soldier's soul was similar to Wang Lin's soul at the time, with the deepest part being a little black.
Wu Huan had fought against the Ten Fierce Palaces many times, and had used a lot of Fierce God blood. He had already figured out the path to the Ten Fierce Palaces.
There are differences in the souls, which should be due to some restrictions on the souls of the Ten Fierce Palaces.
If he were more rigorous, Wu Huan could not directly conclude that this woman was the culprit of the dungeon tragedy, but could only confirm the identity of the other party's spy.
In the same way, those who have the same soul are not necessarily that clean.
'Is there anyone present who has a different spirit? '
Wu Huan thought so, the crystal ball in his sleeve gently turned, and some pictures were projected in his heart.
Um? Who is this? Why is it so dark, almost turning into ink...
Lie down!
Wu Wan almost jumped up on his chair!
What the hell? !
Wu Huan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xue Kailong's back. The latter was asking an immortal soldier about his place of origin and the status of his relatives at home.
If you look at it with the naked eye, there is nothing unusual about Xue Kailong;
After careful inspection with his spiritual sense, there was nothing strange about Xue Kailong's aura.
Only!
Only at this time, through the crystal ball and using the power of the Star God to look at his soul, he could see the pitch black, and the pitch black aura was rising and surging, turning into a ferocious beast that raised its head and roared at the sky!
That ferocious beast has two wings, looks like a tiger, and has stripes on its body. Wu Wan has seen it once!
Qiongqi!
Wu Huan's whole body was covered with chills. He immediately clasped the crystal ball and stuffed it into the storage magic weapon. Cold sweat almost broke out on his forehead, but he forced him back.
calm down.
Xue Kailong? Qiongqi? What the hell is this?
Could it be that he is controlled by the fierce god Qiongqi?
No wonder he came to Renhuang Pavilion to seek promotion instead of going to Sihai Pavilion, which was well paid, had many fairies, and went out to experience and eat and drink at public expense!
No wonder, this guy has a kind of arrogance in his bones. It is the arrogance of looking at no rival in the world, and it is the self-confidence derived from the ferocious spirit.
I forgot who I heard said it, or which book I read it in, Qiongqi is not like the fierce god Ming Shen [the strongest person in a group of fierce beasts is promoted to a fierce god].
Qiongqi was originally a ferocious beast in heaven and earth, but with his own abilities, he became the ferocious god of heaven!
this?
Wu Wan's throat trembled slightly, and he was thinking rapidly in his heart, but his expression did not change from the beginning to the end.
Xue Kailong's own cultivation level is not very high, and he is only in the realm of leaping to the gods at this time; but Qiongqi's soul is placed on him, so it is impossible for him to self-destruct and hurt others.
Wu Wan immediately made up his mind: he could not act rashly for the time being and contact Pavilion Master Liu first.
It’s time to test your acting skills!
"H-yawn."
Wu Wan stretched a little, not exaggeratedly, and yawned, which made his eyes moist.
He asked: "Fellow Daoist Xue?"
"Sir, what's wrong?" Xue Kailong turned around and asked.
Wu smiled and said, "Is there any gain?"
Xue Kailong subconsciously glanced at the female fairy with a different spirit, then turned to Wu Wang and said:
"Sir, we already have some clues. Just give me another half hour."
Wu smiled and said: "This case is complicated and confusing, so why not take a break for a while, drink tea to moisten your throat, and continue the interrogation later."
"Thank you for your sympathy."
Xue Kailong smiled and cupped his hands, and then said: "I will continue the interrogation, sir, just rest."
"Then I'm going to go for a walk and drink tea."
Wu smiled and said: "Work hard, you won't get the credit this time! Hahaha!"
After saying that, Wu Wan stood up, the smile on his lips gradually faded, turned and walked to the side door not far away.
Before leaving the house, Wu Huan had a sneer on his lips and his eyes were a little cold.
'Xue Kailong' caught Wu Wan's expression and smiled secretly in his heart; the figure in the distant cave had an even sharper sneer on his lips.
"You don't agree with me and take action? This fool has no more ambition than this."
…
Speaking of which, Wu Wan came out of the Punishment Hall, and he felt relieved in his heart.
I don’t know if my expression was in place just now.
This wilderness is becoming more and more cruel, and now I am beginning to be forced to act opposite the evil god!
Looking back, I still need to strengthen my facial expression training and ponder it for a while in front of the mirror every day... Of course, this is all a story for another day.
After finding the path back to his attic, Wu Wang walked slowly and unhurriedly, hands behind his back, as if he was out for a walk with nothing to do.
After a while, he walked to his attic, turned around, and went to Pavilion Master Liu's Nuan Pavilion next door.
Act in full set.
Wu Wang said loudly: "Pavilion Master, I have something to ask for."
The door of the room opened, and Pavilion Master Liu's voice came: "If you don't go investigate the case, what are you doing here? But you feel like you are being compared?"
"Ha," Wu Wan chuckled and stepped inside.
The threshold of this attic is also the limit that Qiongqi can detect through Xue Kailong Yuanying.
——Liu Bairen The place covered by Taoist rhyme cannot be penetrated even by Qiongqi.
In the attic, Wu Wan still did not relax and winked at Liu Bairen, telling him not to act rashly.
Pavilion Master Liu was confused and said: "What's wrong? You don't have to worry about this. This small building is suppressed by my Dao Dao, and no one will listen."
"I have something I want to discuss with the Pavilion Master alone."
Wu Wan looked at the old men with an apologetic smile on his face.
These people stood up and bowed their hands to Wu Wangong, walked to the side compartment, and arranged several layers of barriers there.
Pavilion Master Liu smiled and said: "Don't worry, these are all ministers that your Majesty can trust, but what did you find out?"
Wu Wan took a long breath, his arms dropped forward, his shoulders slumped, and his whole body collapsed.
He walked straight to the soft couch where Pavilion Master Liu was sitting, sat down on the side, took an untouched teacup, and drank the cold tea in it.
"The problem is big!" Wu Wang gritted his teeth and said.
Liu Bairen stared at Tongling with his big eyes: "What? Our Renhuang Pavilion has been so infiltrated? Are there all spies in the main pavilion?"
"That's not what you mean." Wu Wang handed the crystal ball over and pointed at it with his finger, "Senior, please hold this crystal ball and take a look at Xue Kailong in the Punishment Hall."
"What's wrong with him? Wuwu, your status is different now. We don't want to argue with the younger generation anymore..."
Liu Bairen paused for a moment, opened his thick lips slightly, stood up and was about to pounce on him.
Fortunately, Wu Wan made a quick move and quickly grabbed Liu Bairen and said hurriedly:
"It should be just a wisp of Qiongqi's soul controlling Xue Kailong. It's useless for you to kill him. Think about it in the long term! Think about it in the long term, Pavilion Master!"
Liu Bairen stomped his feet vigorously and cursed: "It has the ability to do it on its own! I smash its skull to pieces! Bullying young people is nothing!"
"Yes, yes, the Pavilion Master is mighty."
Wu Wang complimented him sincerely and said with a smile:
"Your Renhuang Pavilion is really powerful. Forget about the spies from the Ten Fierce Palaces, there is actually a Fierce God himself who has come here to become an immortal soldier!
Hahaha! If you think about it carefully, this is quite interesting! "
"dare you laugh!"
Liu Bairen gritted his teeth and cursed:
"This ferocious god is so hateful! He has been against our human realm since the time of Emperor Fuxi, and he has killed hundreds of masters!
Wuwu, what are your ideas? Stop being so pretentious and say it quickly!
Just killing a ray of his soul makes me feel happy! "
"Why is this so happy? A ray of soul will recover after ten days and a half," Wu Huan said, "Pavilion Master, if you want to vent your anger, I can help you make plans."
"How to plan?"
"It has been known since ancient times that Qiongqi is good at looking into people's hearts."
Wu laughed and said:
"He still doesn't know that he has been exposed. I tried my best to act just now, which probably fooled him and made him think that I would target him next.
In fact, not only the human heart has shortcomings, but also the Taoist heart of the fierce god may not be perfect.
Even if Qiongqi makes no mistakes, Xue Kailong's original character will still have some impact. "
"you mean……"
"Let's put on a play."
Wu Wan groaned a few times, a few flashes of light flashed in his eyes, and said seriously:
"At this time, I'm not sure what Qiongqi's nature is, but we can take one step at a time and record all the situations with a photo ball, so that we can take the initiative."
Liu Bairen's eyes were full of doubts and he asked: "How specific is it?"
"My lord, come here."
Wu Wan leaned forward, Liu Bairen leaned over and listened, and the two of them murmured for a while.
So, so, so.
…
After a while.
Wu Wan walked out of Pavilion Master Liu's small building, a slight smile appeared on his slightly gloomy face, and he regained his graceful demeanor.
A sigh floated out from the small building, and the voice of the master of the pavilion came:
"Wu Huazi, just do your duty and stop worrying about others."
Wu Wan's expression froze, and he continued to walk towards the punishment hall as if nothing had happened.
In the punishment hall, 'Qiongqi', who caught this scene, thought about it for a while and got the general idea.
After all, the Xue family is also a force, and the master of Renhuang Pavilion will be a little wary.
Wu Wan walked all the way, and this 'Qiongqi' used Xue Kailong's spiritual consciousness to secretly observe him all the way; it could see all the small changes in Wu Wan's expression and ponder it carefully.
Qiongqi quickly came to the conclusion: "Although this boy has some power, he is not a powerful opponent. After all, he is just a young man." '
It can be seen from this that the level of waste in the top and bottom of the Ten Temples has reached such a state!
When Wu Wan returned to the punishment hall and sat on the wide chair in the middle, Xue Kailong immediately stepped forward and bowed to Wu Wan.
"My lord, I have found out who the spy is?"
"oh?"
Wu Wan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Who?"
"she!"
Xue Kailong immediately pointed at the female fairy Wu Wan had previously targeted.
The female fairy turned pale, stood up quickly, and shouted: "Sir! I am wronged! This subordinate is definitely not a spy from the Ten Fierce Palaces!"
Wu Wang frowned secretly and said, "Xue Xianbing, do you have any way to prove it?"
The title here became Immortal Soldier.
Xue Kailong smiled and said: "Not only this person, there is also a spy here!"
He raised his left hand, pointed at a middle-aged man at the palace door, and said firmly: "That man at the palace door, do you dare to enter?"
The middle-aged man who was pointed out frowned, immediately took a few steps forward, and said loudly:
"How can you, a man like you, slander another person without hesitation! I shed my blood for Renhuang Pavilion! How can I allow you to slander me without any hesitation!"
"Xue Xianbing!"
Wu Wan said sternly: "This is not a place for you to mess around! If they are spies, you must tell the specific reasons and provide evidence, otherwise it will be difficult for this inspector to defend you!"
maintain?
Qiongqi laughed secretly, this Wuhuangzi obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make things difficult.
But today, he won for sure.
Xue Kailong took out a mirror from his sleeve and said loudly:
"This is the treasure of my Xue family, the mirror of knowing one's mind and one's nature! Let these two take a photo to see if there are any ghosts in their hearts!"
Wu Wan stared at the mirror for a few times, but saw that it was just an ordinary bronze mirror, and he probably knew what method Qiongqi was going to use.
Moreover, Wu Wan secretly used a crystal ball to check the middle-aged man's soul, and it was also white mixed with black.
"Come here," Wu Wang said, "take these two down for now, and Xue Xian's soldiers will try to take care of them."
Two rows of immortal soldiers on the side responded with a bang, and four or five people immediately rushed out, captured the middle-aged man and the female immortal, and escorted them to Wu Wan.
On the side, Xue Kailong was holding a bronze mirror and was about to move forward.
Wu Wang said: "Xue Xianbing, if we can't find anything strange about them..."
Xue Kailong said loudly: "I will be punished!"
"Okay! Mr. Xue is happy."
Wu Wan made a gesture of invitation with a slightly stern look.
Xue Kailong stepped forward with the bronze mirror in hand. When he got in front of the two people, he thrust the bronze mirror directly into the middle-aged man's face.
"Open your eyes."
A wisp of black energy escaped everyone's sight and penetrated into the soles of the middle-aged man's feet.
Almost instantly, the middle-aged man was trembling all over and his face was covered with cold sweat. Looking at the face covered with black scales in the bronze mirror, he screamed in panic and collapsed on the ground.
"How, how could it be?"
The female fairy gritted her teeth when she saw this, but the bronze mirror slowly turned around, and a wisp of black air penetrated into the soles of her feet from nowhere.
The only thing she could see was a fox face emerging from the bronze mirror...
Her Taoist heart was broken almost instantly, and she fell to the ground, sobbing continuously, and said sadly:
"I, I haven't done anything to betray the Renhuang Pavilion. Don't those eight people deserve their punishment, sir? Sir! Spare your life, sir!"
Wu Wan suddenly showed a stern expression.
Xue Kailong smiled slightly, put away the bronze mirror, and turned to look at Wu Wan, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Take these two people down and hand them over to the Pavilion Master!"
Wu Wan stood up and said with a smile: "Xue Xian's army is the first to make a contribution today, and he will be rewarded by Xianfan Hall for his merits."
After saying that, he didn't look at Xue Kailong and walked towards the side door of the hall with his hands behind his hands.
Xue Kailong bowed his hands and said loudly: "Thank you, sir!"
Hold on tight!
Wu Wang's fists behind his back were clenched!
In the distant cave, Qiongqi, who had transformed into a human form, raised his head and laughed, his laughter full of ridicule.
In Pavilion Master Liu's residence, Liu Bairen held a photo-taking orb, facing the one-foot-diameter cloud mirror in front of him, and recorded all the scenes in it.
Half a day later.
A commendation order was sent to Xue Kailong, officially appointing him as a second-level immortal soldier.
Qiongqi, who was hiding in the dark, raised his eyebrows slightly. Such an improvement in level made him feel a little bit happy.
At the same time, several "gossips" came out from Renhuang Pavilion.
One: Wu Huanzi, the newly appointed inspector, had a disagreement with Xue Kailong, the son of the Xue family, and had a big fight in the Xuannv Sect.
Second: The promotion of Young Master Xue was suppressed by Wu Huanzi. He was supposed to be promoted to a third-level immortal soldier, and then Xue Kailong was allowed to lead a team of soldiers.
Third: The Renhuang Pavilion has set up a shortcut to improve your rank. As long as you catch four spies from the Ten Fierce Palace, you can advance from the second level to the third level; if you catch eight more spies, you can advance from the third level to the fourth level. With this, analogy.
It was night, Xue Kailong murmured to himself:
"If you catch a total of four plus eight and sixteen more spies, you can be promoted to the fourth level of internal affairs. If you catch thirty-two more spies, you can be promoted to the fifth level. If you catch another sixty-four, you can be promoted to the sixth level. , and you can advance to the seventh level if you capture one hundred and twenty-eight more spies?"
He sensed it slightly and counted the number of responses in the ten temples here.
Not enough for him to advance to the seventh level.
Ask your sons to send more spies?
Xue Kailong lay there with his arms pillowed on his pillow, lost in thought together with the middle-aged man in a cave in the far southwest region of the wilderness.
…
On the other side, Wu Wan and Liu Bairen looked at each other and smiled, clinking the wine glasses in their hands, and each chuckled arrogantly.
