Early in the morning on the third day, Chen Jianchou finally met Mr. Lu.
The meeting place was still the tavern. The boss here was also the foster mother Xu Jiaorong, so he was reliable enough.
Over the years, the great master in charge has ignored secular affairs, but it does not mean that the great master in charge has become arrogant. He still firmly controls most of the spiritual officials in Borneo, and he himself is also a deterrent and a sea-ding needle . Such a person will naturally not be blind and deaf. He has his own channels for information. The person responsible for this is Xu Jiaorong himself.
It is said that Mr. Lu has a good family background. He comes from the Lu family, a powerful family in the Central Plains. He is also a close confidant of the new second deputy palace master. His adoptive mother asked him to contact Mr. Lu. Could it be said that his adoptive mother and the new second deputy palace master have become allies? Relationship?
On this basis, it is further speculated that the adoptive mother has known about the king's affairs for a long time, but has never done anything. However, soon after the new deputy chief arrived, he launched an investigation into the matter. Doesn't it mean that the person behind the incident is not the adoptive mother? , not the real person in charge, but the Qi Cixian?
This Qi Cixian is not an ordinary person. There are rumors that he came to Borneo with the special mission of Jinque, holding the "Sword of Shangfang" in his hand, and was the "imperial envoy". Could it be that he wants to start from this matter and bring down the enemy? Chief Chen?
Lu Yuting brought a copy of the relevant medical records, which was a bit difficult for her, but not that difficult. Because she was sent from the main hall of Yujing Huasheng Hall to the local branch, she had a special status. She asked the local Taoist priest in charge to see all the files and accounts in the past year. The local chief took it for granted that this was an inspection by the hall. , naturally cannot refuse, nor dare to neglect.
So Lu Yuting got all the files within a year, including the medical records of these important people, and then she spent a little more effort to make a copy when no one was paying attention, and she was done.
The key is that this move will not arouse Chen Shuhua's vigilance, because it is reasonable and a routine matter within the Taoist sect.
Only Lu Yuting could do this, and Xu Jiaorong himself would not be able to do this without leaving a trace.
At the same time, Chen Jianchou also looked at Director Lu carefully. This time it does not include the admiration for women, but more of the instinct of a Qingluan Guard.
In Chen Jianqiu's view, this boss Lu is somewhat similar to his adoptive mother. He is intellectual and elegant, calm and capable. He acts calmly but also reveals a bit of coldness and alienation. He refuses people thousands of miles away. This seems to be the case for quite a few Taoist women. They may not be suitable for the jungle world where the jungle is full of predators, bloody and dirty, and unscrupulous, but they are definitely suitable for high-pressure organizations where intrigues and overt and covert fights are fought.
However, compared with his adoptive mother, Mr. Lu is still a little young and immature, less mature and perfect, and a bit sharp and aggressive, like edges that have not been completely smoothed.
Chen Jianchou had never been attracted to Lu Yuting, and Lu Yuting was not as close as Chen Jianqiu. There was a coldness in his tone: "Don't spread this copy, remember?"
"Remember it." Chen Jianqiu nodded and opened a copy of the medical record.
The content inside was all handwritten, with beautiful handwriting and small regular script with hairpin flowers. It should have been written by the person in front of me, Mr. Lu.
I have to say that the level of Huashengtang is still there, and it is very high.
Although there are some people who cannot be saved by Huashengtang, it is mainly because their own level of cultivation is too low and they cannot withstand the power of the medicine. Many of the elixirs in Huashengtang can hardly be described as "tiger and wolf medicine". They are simply fatal elixirs. After people with insufficient cultivation take them, they will either be burst to life or be directly poisoned by the overly strong properties of the medicine. Death, let alone sick people, good people must also be put to death. Only people with corresponding realms of cultivation can take it according to the prescribed method, and they can withstand the power of the medicine and turn it into a good medicine that can cure diseases, save lives, and even enhance cultivation.
The king himself has the cultivation level of the realm of freedom of heaven and human beings, and the upper limit of the power he can withstand is very high, which is actually easy to say.
In the medical records, after consultation with several Taoist priests in charge of Huashengtang, it was believed that the reason why the king was in a trance, had strange dreams, and was unable to govern was that he was actually suffering from the disease of lost soul.
The so-called "lost-soul syndrome", in common parlance, means losing one's soul, the so-called soul-lost syndrome.
There are many reasons that may cause this symptom, the most famous one is the technique of Nightmare Town, a method inherited from ancient witchcraft, also known as the technique of witchcraft.
First, set up an altar, tie a straw man, write the name of the enemy and birth date on the person, a lamp on the head, a lamp on the feet, a gangbang on the feet, tie the calligraphy and talisman, burn the seal, pray three times a day, and on the second At noon on the eleventh day. During this process, the victim had almost no ability to resist, and his spirituality was greatly damaged. He did not even know that he had been subjected to the nightmare method. Twenty-one days later, the enemy's three souls and seven souls will be dispersed. At this time, stabbing the straw man with the magic sword will cause blood to spurt out from both the straw man and the enemy. But the disadvantage is that it takes too long, and it must have the birth date and horoscope, which is the real name in the Western concept.
Of course, if one's realm cultivation is not high enough, he will naturally not be able to worship his opponent's soul. Moreover, warriors and alchemists are naturally immune to such magical powers. Warriors are one body and soul, regardless of each other. The alchemist has cultivated into the Yin God, and the soul has turned into thoughts. The Yin God is the foundation, and the body is just a body. How can the alchemist's true body be worshiped away?
Now that the deadline of twenty-one days has passed, it can be seen that it is not a Nightmare Suppression Technique, at least not a full set of Nightmare Suppression Techniques.
So could it be that the Nightmare Town Technique is half-way through?
The medical record still denied it.
Because the failure of the Nightmare Town Technique means that the work has failed, and the souls that have been taken away will return to their original positions on their own, so the Nightmare Town Technique has only two results, either success or failure, and there is no intermediate state.
If it's not the Nightmare Suppression Technique, then what is it?
The medical records pointed out another possibility: accidentally taking the elixir, causing the soul to leave the body.
There is indeed a kind of elixir inside the Taoist sect that can help people actively separate their souls from the body. It is called the "Soul-Leaving Pill". If you accidentally take this type of elixir, it may also cause soul-losing syndrome.
But just like this, it cannot explain the series of strange dreams of the King of Dayu.
This kind of strange dream is very similar to being possessed by evil spirits, that is, being possessed by evil spirits.
It is impossible to let the Lord of Dayu lose his soul first, and then fill the vacancy of losing one soul with some evil spirits.
For this reason, several Taoist priests in charge argued endlessly.
There are also many contradictions in the medical records.
In the end, the Taoist priests of Huashengtang came to a preliminary conclusion. The Lord of Dayu should immediately stop taking all elixirs and then conduct observations to determine or eliminate the possibility of being affected by the elixirs.
Chen Jianqiu frowned. Chen Jianqiu had said that Chief Chen said that as long as the king continued to take pills, his condition would improve, but Huashengtang's advice was to stop taking all pills. The two were completely contradictory.
More and more evidence points to Chief Chen.
Is this case that simple? Just like many palace conspiracies, the case is not complicated and the strategy is not sophisticated. It is just because the identities of the people involved are too sensitive that it appears to be treacherous?
So what is Chief Chen’s motivation? Just revenge? Once this matter is exposed, even if she is the chief deputy palace master, she will be severely punished by the Taoist sect and risk her own future, just to take revenge on her half-brother? To be fair, the two of them just had a bad relationship, not a life-or-death feud. The king did not kill her mother, and they had the same father, so there was no life-or-death feud between them.
If there is really a life-and-death feud, then when Chief Chen proposes reconciliation, the king will not readily agree, but will think that there must be a monster if something goes wrong.
Chen Jianqiu's intuition told him that the case was not that simple, and there must be something deeper hidden.
Since it's not hatred, it's probably about interests.
What would be the benefits?
that power? status? Dayu Kingdom? Realm of cultivation?
Unfortunately, Chen Jianchou's position was too low and he couldn't see more. It was like a thick black fog shrouded his eyes, and he could only vaguely see a few dark shadows flashing past.
When Chen Jianqiu was about to continue reading, he found that the medical record had stopped abruptly.
He couldn't help but look at Lu Yuting: "Master Lu, is that all?"
Lu Yuting copied it over. Naturally, she had already read the medical record and replied: "That's all, there is no more." On the original copy, it was marked that the medical record ended here. It should have been stopped due to pressure from the Taoist government. The specific follow-up will be The Taoist government will take over."
Chen Jianqiu immediately understood that it was indeed related to Chief Chen, and she must have put pressure on Huashengtang. Although the branch hall of Huasheng Hall is very independent, as members of the Taoist sect, they still have to give face. Maybe the deputy head of Huasheng Hall can not give face to the deputy palace master, but the Taoist priest in charge generally does not have this confidence.
In fact, after the investigation reached this point, half a month later, Chen Jianchou handed over all the speculations and suspicions about Chief Chen, and he could barely complete the task. But it is definitely not outstanding, at least it cannot leave a deep impression on Qi Cixi, let alone take this opportunity to enter the Taoist sect.
"This will not only disappoint the adoptive mother, but also disappoint Chen Jianqiu." This sentence popped into Chen Jianqiu's mind for no reason.
What's Chen Jianqiu's disappointment?
After Chen Jianqiu was surprised, he suddenly wanted to understand one thing. After he saw Chen Jianqiu and fell in love with him, he actually felt a little inferior. Even if he put aside his fellow tribesmen, just as far as the two of them were concerned, Chen Jianqiu had a low self-esteem. Deep down in his heart, Jian Chou also believed that he was not worthy of Chen Jianqiu.
So he eagerly wanted to change the status quo and become worthy of Chen Jianqiu.
how to change? Of course, enter the Taoist gate.
Therefore, we can't just stop after finding Chief Chen. We also need to find evidence to support this conclusion, or dig out Chief Chen's deeper motives. It would satisfy the adoptive mother and allow the second deputy palace master to remember him as a person.
At this point, Chen Jianchou is not as good as Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu didn't think he was worthy or unworthy at the beginning. He didn't have to wait for thirty years in Hexi. Young people are poor when they are poor. What are they afraid of? He went directly to Zhang's house. As a seventh-grade Taoist priest, it is really courageous to face the behemoth Zhang family.
After Chen Jianchou made up his mind, he put away the copy, said goodbye to Lu Yuting, and left in a hurry.
