507, Qushui (2/2)
“The next step is to focus on digging out information from Wang Juxiang’s mouth.
Find a trickster to watch over her at all times and don't let her find a chance to think.
In addition, don't relax in exploring Li Caifeng's concubine's living relatives and people who are familiar with him to see if you can dig out information about him.
——Important figures involved in clues about the God of Joy either died suddenly or fell into the water.
Such a coincidence,
It's very strange in itself. "Su Wu gave Zhang Chaoxiu some instructions.
He turned to look at Yun Nichang beside him: "Please help us connect with the 'Religious Affairs Bureau' on the platform. The two parties can communicate and exchange work, and let them report back the monitoring of changes in civil sects in recent years.
Especially the situation in the secret area must be paid special attention to. "
"Okay." Yun Nishang nodded immediately.
When Fang Yuan and Ji Hong saw that Su Wu had assigned work to the civilian staff, they took the initiative to come closer.
Each of them led more than ten people,
These men and women have gloomy expressions, and they exude a kind of aura that prevents strangers from entering, making people unconsciously want to stay away from them.
The people led by the two were the Trick Controllers they had personally inspected and believed could join the Yinxi Pulse Zao Class.
"Su Wu,
I have already investigated everyone's family background, and the specific information has been handed over to Nishang. "Ji Hong spoke to Su Wu with a smile and introduced the general situation in a few words.
Su Wu had already learned from Yun Nishang the specific backgrounds of the people brought by Ji Hong and Fang Yuan, and had made preparations in advance.
He nodded and said, "Okay.
These people don’t need to make a special trip back to ‘Zhanghe’ to swear an oath. "
As he spoke, Su Wu took out two lightning strike peach wood tablets. Both of them were carved with a three-eyed cow head. Only the eye on the top of the eyebrows of the cow head was open. The eyes were blood-red and filled with something indescribable. kind of charm,
The bull head pattern carved on the dead object gives people a feeling of being alive.
"If there is an emergency in the future,
New disciples who join the ‘Yinximai’ Zao Class,
Holding the 'Oath Plate' in hand and swearing an oath, you can become a disciple of the Yinxi Meridian Zao Class. "
He divided the two mahogany cards between Ji Hong and Fang Yuan.
Holding the two in hand, looking from side to side, although I can detect the faint charm flowing in the wooden plaque, it is difficult to doubt that such a small wooden plaque also has the function of witnessing the oath?
These two wooden tablets contain the true meaning of Yamantaka.
Anyone else who wants to join the Zao class,
Make an oath to the wooden sign,
Their oaths will immediately be witnessed by the ‘Oath Plate’ and then be inspired by Su Wu.
Unless someone has the strength to kill Su Wu,
Otherwise they will have to keep their oaths,
If he violates it one day, Su Wu can decide his life or death at will.
They even decide how the oathbreaker will die!
"Su Wu, are you going to Qushui on your next trip?" Fang Yuan took the oath card that Su Wu handed him, looked at Su Wu, and asked cautiously.
"Yes." Su Wu nodded.
Fang Yuan considered his words in his heart, and then said to Su Wu: "Over at the Weird Countermeasures Department, Director Ren would like to meet with you, and Inspector Fang Gan will accompany you.
Do you think it is okay?
They can wait in Qushui City. "
The Weird Countermeasures Department, which controls the "Weird Prison", once had a bad relationship with Su Wu.
Although the two prison inspectors "Xiao Zhiren" and "Bai Helong" who were the instigators have been killed by Su Wu, and the dispute has come to an end for the time being, there is no communication between the two sides.
Su Wu also did not express any attitude toward the Countermeasures Department.
Therefore, Fang Yuan was cautious when speaking. Now that the Weird Countermeasures Department was seeking help from Xuanmen, his attitude had to be cautious. He was currently the only channel for the Weird Countermeasures Department to communicate with Su Wu.
"Why is your brother called Fang Gan?"
Su Wu glanced at Fang Yuan.
He and Fang Gan had met several times - in the chaotic void connected by the Heart Ape Picture Scroll, when Su Wu was harvesting his guilty memories, he had met Fang Gan several times and learned about the other person's identity.
Fang Yun became nervous when he heard this. His identity was not a secret, but Su Wu's attitude was incomprehensible at the moment. He didn't know whether the identity of 'Fang Qian's younger brother' would lower Su Wu's good impression of him.
But Fang Yuan couldn't answer truthfully: "Yes. Fang Qian, the current inspector of the Prison, is my biological brother."
"If you want me to intervene in solving the strange incidents in Mingzhou City,
I can only ask you to reply to Minister Ren, but I am also helpless. "Su Wu has not completely cut off some of the 'tails' in the prison, and there is still no trace of the 'deputy warden'.
He cares more about this matter,
I intend to use this ‘Deputy Prison’ and the suspected desolate-level evil spirits contained in it to practice the ‘Dharma Protector of Mahakala’.
Because of this reason,
In addition, Fang Gan left some good impressions on him, so he does not object to having a little contact with the Weird Countermeasures Department - but only outside of certain things. "If it is other things, I would be happy to have a meeting with Minister Ren." Discussion."
Fang Yuan was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Minister Ren's real intention was to hope that Su Wu would take action regarding the strange incident in Mingzhou.
But he immediately cheered up again,
After all, the other party expressed his attitude of not rejecting contact with the Weird Countermeasures Department.
This is a good thing!
"If that's the case, then I'll contact my brother and make an arrangement. Su Wu will meet them in Qushui City?" Fang Yuan asked aloud.
"Can."
Su Wu nodded.
This is the end of the instructions.
Jiang Yingying had already packed up her luggage, and Yun Nishang and several Xuanmen clerical staff helped lift her luggage to the car on the roadside.
Jiang Yingying, who looked much better, pushed the wheelchair and walked out of the door holding the 'emergency can'.
Mr. Jiang in the wheelchair greeted Su Wu with a smile and was helped to the car.
Yingying stood at the door holding the emergency can, looked at Su Wu, and then at Yun Nishang behind him.
A bright smile appeared on the slightly thin face, and Jiang Yingying said softly: "Su Wu, thank you."
This time she will return to Zhanghe with a group of Xuanmen civil servants and tricksters.
Accompanying grandpa to recuperate there.
"It's fine."
Su Wu shook his head and said, "You've said thank you many times, so you don't need to thank me."
"Because I don't know how to repay,
So I can only say thank you..." Jiang Yingying looked up at Su Wu's face, tears welling up in her eyes unconsciously. She noticed Su Wu's slightly frowning expression, quickly suppressed her tears, and handed a paper bag to Su Wu said, "I heard that you are going to the Hidden Realm next. I heard that the weather there has a big temperature difference and is very cold.
I knitted a scarf for you, please see if you can use it. "
Su Wu took the paper bag and said nothing.
Jiang Yingying wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, looked at Yun Nishang behind him, and handed over a paper bag: "Thank you for helping me take care of grandpa these days, Sister Yun, this is a gift for you."
"You don't have to be so polite." Yun Nishang shook her head and took the paper bag even though Jiang Yingying insisted on giving the gift.
When she took the paper bag,
I heard Jiang Yingying say something very quickly in a low voice: "I haven't given up yet..."
Um?
Yun Nishang narrowed her eyes slightly,
When he looked up, he saw Jiang Yingying looking a little panicked.
When the two women's eyes met,
Jiang Yingying's panic gradually faded away, and her eyes became firm again.
Yun Nishang pursed her lips and said no more.
Watching Jiang Yingying get into the car,
A convoy of several vehicles slowly left.
Su Wu glanced at the chained Jiang family gate behind him, with no expression on his face, and turned to the only black off-road vehicle parked on the roadside that had not yet started.
Yun Nishang held the paper bag and looked at Su Wu's back, feeling somewhat satisfied in her heart.
He took one step and caught up with Su Wu in front.
She drove the car onto the village road and said to Su Wu in the passenger seat: "Today Zhang You sent a message saying that a batch of burial objects from the mid-Tang Dynasty and late Tang Dynasty had been collected. He asked you when will you need them?
He can ask Cui Xun to bring the collected antiques to your designated location. "
“Let Cui Xun bring the things to Qushui.
I was there to receive antiques. "Su Wu nodded.
Jiang Yingying replied "Okay".
The car enters the road,
She turned around and carefully looked at Su Wu, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and said cautiously: "Do you want these antiques for any special purpose? My grandfather has a collection of broken armor pieces from the Tang Dynasty that he said.
Now it has been passed to my father,
If it's useful to you, I can ask my dad to send the things to Qushui. "
Armor from the Tang Dynasty?
Su Wu opened his eyes slightly,
He pondered for a moment and said to Yun Nishang: "The armor pieces may be damaged in my hands. I can compensate your family according to the price."
Yun Nishang wanted to shake her head and refuse,
It’s not like she’s selling antiques,
But seeing Su Wu's eyes, she nodded again.
Su Wu didn't like people who didn't have a sense of distance, and Yun Nichang was already very clear about this.
It’s not too far from Tangcheng to Qushui, about two to three hours’ drive.
But along the way Yun Nishang drove, some cities had been blocked and roads were closed to traffic due to the severe treacherous invasion. It took her more than four hours to complete the two- to three-hour drive.
Near noon,
The two of them arrived in Qushui City. After finding a place to have some light meals, Yun Nichang drove Su Wu to the Yuzhu Temple.
Yuzhu Temple is the main purpose of Su Wu’s trip to Qushui.
Meeting with Minister Ren and Inspector Fang Gan was only secondary.
The people from the Weird Countermeasures Department are still on the road and have not arrived at Qushui City yet.
According to the information Su Wu learned, Yuzhu Temple inherited the Taoist tradition of the "Shenxiao Sect" of the Northern Song Dynasty. There is a Five Thunder Altar in the Taoist temple. Obtaining the authority to set up and summon this altar was one of the purposes of Su Wu's trip. .
Before Su Wu set off for Qushui,
The Clan Affairs Bureau has already greeted Yuzhu Temple in advance.
The Taoist temple, which was originally bustling with people and bustling with incense, now had very few pedestrians.
The stone steps spread out at the foot of the 'Bamboo Mountain', winding upwards layer by layer, like a blue spiritual snake coiling around the not-so-high Bamboo Mountain. Where the mountain steps turn, there are many towering gate towers.
Behind the gatehouse is a small terrace for people to rest.
On the foreheads of the gate towers and archways, there are words such as "Follow the sky and the earth", "Tao follows nature", "Follow the sky and follow the times" and so on.
For a moment, it seemed that it was magnificent and its merits were towering.
