The next day, a meeting was held at the Shangyuan Hall of Uncle Lian to discuss matters. Ziyu, Jianwu, and Ji Xian all arrived.
The daily affairs of the academy are usually decided by the chief minister on duty. Each of the four major ministers is in charge for one season. This is the system. But when encountering a major event, it is necessary to have the support of the great disciples to ensure that the Academy's handling does not cause major deviations due to arbitrary actions.
The Shen Douke case involves the sudden death of Yin Quwan, the leader of the Chu State, and is vaguely involved in the private refining of longevity pills. It is a major case that the Academy has focused on in recent years. If the leader of a small country died unexpectedly, to be honest, the academy would never take a second look. However, Qu Wan was different. He was not only the ruler of Chu State, he also studied at Linzi Academy for many years. He was extremely honest in his affairs and reported to the academy. If someone dies after secretly refining the longevity elixir, the academy will certainly investigate the matter closely.
It was Luo Lingfu's responsibility to report the case to everyone, so he also entered Shangyuan Hall, finished his statement to everyone, and summarized his views: "Shen Douke has been found to be a demon cultivator, and he showed up in Kuaiji this time. They should lure the monks from my academy into the formation to sacrifice the Ten Thousand Bone Flags. If they succeed, including me, nearly a hundred monks from the academy will become ghosts wandering around the flags. Fortunately, the formation was discovered in time, and if it had been delayed for a few days, the consequences would have been It’s unimaginable.”
He piled the captured objects in the hall and continued: "The two swords and the two halberds are the magic weapons of Shen Douke. They have been refined into blood weapons. A bottle of Yin Sheng Pill. This is the evil pill. You all know its use. I won’t go into details. Here is the elixir recipe. I visited Sangtian Wu last night. He is an expert. He told me that this is not a pure elixir recipe, but an evil method of refining elixirs, called the Spirit Devouring Method. Most of the elixirs are elixirs. All can be done quickly with this method. For example, the case of the spiritual elixir turning to earth was solved in Yangzhou School last month, and the elixir prescription confiscated was modified based on this. There is also the Tianjue Bell, which is also a magic weapon. There are evil elixirs, The presence of a magic weapon means that Shen Douke is not dealing with us alone, and there are people from the devil's path behind him."
After Luo Lingfu finished expressing his views, Uncle Lian said: "Sit down, Lingfu... Yesterday Lingfu told me that the Ten Thousand Bones Health Preserving Formation has reappeared in the world, and I am deeply worried. You must all remember that the three Eighteen years ago, the demon cultivator Xue Yazi started a bloody storm. This demon was chased by Zhenren Xin and had no way to go to the sky or to the earth, but he suddenly disappeared. Some said he escaped to an overseas desert island, and some said he fell into Void Barrier, some people say that he is actually dead. Therefore, sixteen years ago, someone proposed to remove him from the red list, but was blocked by Master Xin. Now it seems that Master Xin's caution is extremely necessary , Blood Crowzi is most likely not dead."
Jianwu said with a smile: "But thanks to Ling Fu, Shen Douke can get off the list."
The list he was talking about was the list of felons listed in the Academy. It was transcribed with cinnabar and was called the Red List. It was added or deleted every year. At most, only thirty-six people were on the list.
At the top of the list now are Kunlun Taoist, Skeleton Patriarch, Xue Yaozi, Bing Pozi, and Yi Minghe. After the second roundup of Shen Dou Ke failed last year, he was also included in the red list, ranking last.
Ji Xian said: "Now it seems that this ranking is still a bit conservative. If we knew that he dared to use the Ten Thousand Bone Health Formation to plan the academy, I'm afraid he would have to be in the top ten. At least he could surpass Shen Yu, Wu Sheng and others, and could he surpass Wu Sheng? ?”
Wu Sheng was recommended by Songyang County when alchemists from various places were recommended to join the alchemy sect and learn alchemy. Later, he turned to serve Dong Lizi. After Dong Lizi captured and brought him to justice, this person also disappeared.
Xuegong later went to Songyang to investigate this person's background, and found that he looked very different from Wu Sheng, who studied Dan Lun Zong, and was not the same person. From this, he inferred that this person had deliberately planned to help Dong Lizi escape, and even Gong Ye did it. His death was most likely related to him, so he was placed on the red list.
Ziyu said: "I'm afraid not. Wu Sheng was involved in many cases, all of which were major ones. The Mu Dao Ren case, the Pengcheng robbery case, the Longevity Pill case, etc. were all related to him. Although they did not kill important people in my academy, they all involved the inscriptions in the Heavenly Book. , Longevity Pill, and now he has defected to Skull Mountain, which is extremely harmful, so it is more appropriate to be ranked fifteenth."
Jianwu asked: "Are Shen Yu and Wu Sheng the same person?"
Luo Lingfu said: "Jian Zong suspects that it is the same person, but there is no proof so far. Shen Yu killed Ying and walked with Shen Zhuliang and his four guards. This is a major case. If there is no clear proof, it is better not to join the case for the time being."
Jianwu nodded: "This is natural. If Shen Douke is removed from the list, who will take his place?"
Ziyu said: "Maybe we should consider the ups and downs of Wei Dynasty. This person was involved in Song Lian's death..."
Jianwu said: "Didn't Mai kill him? It has been confirmed that it has nothing to do with Wei Fushen."
Ziyu said: "Wei Fuchen committed many robberies, especially tomb robberies, which made people and gods angry. Someone had already informed the academy, hoping to severely punish this person. And in the case of Song Jian, although the perpetrator was Mai, he set up an ambush in the early stage. Wei Fushen was involved in all the preparations. He just heard that the one he was going to kill was my academy walker, so he was timid in the face of the battle..."
Uncle Lian clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, let's reconsider who to add to the red list, and we'll discuss it next time... Let's talk about the matter at hand first, Blood Crowzi, what do you think should be done?"
Ji Xian said: "There are only two options. One is to report to the four bachelors, and the other is to notify the schools in various places to conduct strict inspections. Other than that, there is no other way."
Uncle Lian looked at Ziyu and Jianwu. They both nodded in agreement, and then announced: "That's it. Regarding rewards and credit, please Ling Fu."
Luo Lingfu bowed: "That's where my duty lies."
Uncle Lian added: "The second thing is that Qingshu was seriously injured. I visited Master Yutian yesterday, and Master Yutian also said that his injury will not get better for a while, at least for half a year. If he plans for the future, he will enter Xiandu Mountain It is appropriate to practice for one year. So, if we choose another person to travel to Yangzhou, what do you think?"
Ziyu immediately shook his head: "A year and a half's absence is not a big deal, it can wait."
Uncle Lian was a little surprised. He looked at Luo Lingfu and said, "Isn't it you, Luo Lingfu, who wants to choose someone to take over Yangzhou?" Didn't you, Luo Lingfu, negotiate with Ziyu? Or have you changed your mind again?
Immediately asked: "Ling Fu?"
Luo Lingfu said: "You are all here to discuss the matter, if I say too much, might it be inappropriate?"
Not only Uncle Lian was surprised, Jian Wu and Ji Xian were also surprised. Hearing what Luo Lingfu meant, he actually had different ideas?
Uncle Lian said: "It's okay. You just came back from Yangzhou and you know the situation better. If you tell me, I'll wait for the details. This is normal."
Luo Lingfu looked at Ziyu and saw that Ziyu was silent. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Then just say a few words. Please correct me if I am wrong."
Jian Wu and Ji Xian both urged: "Ling Fu, you don't have to be like this. Please tell me if you have anything to say."
Luo Lingfu said: "Ziyu Dafenxing is right. One and a half years can't do anything. If it were elsewhere, if it were someone else, it would be safe to deal with it this way. But I'm afraid you don't know that during this trip to Kuaiji, I and the Yangzhou Scholars The monk had a detailed discussion and felt that there are many problems in the Yangzhou school, and the biggest problem lies in Qingshu."
After a pause, he said softly: "Qing Shu may not be convinced."
