Chapter IX Investigation
【Investigation: 85/33 (failed)】
"I...!" Feng Xue's mouth [Daxia swears] stuck in her throat, and finally she couldn't say a word. She could only sigh and exit the room. From now on, even if he lifted the house, he would not think about finding anything again.
Why is he so sure?
Because he had tested the priority of his gold fingers-
That time, he closed his eyes and threw a half-sized tile in the room, and then threw dice.
After the failure, he turned the house upside down, but could not find the trace of the tiles. In the end, the servant came in and picked up the tiles. The location was at Feng Xue's feet—
He passed by at least a dozen times, but he failed to find it once.
It's like a blind man who opens his eyes.
...
After a while, two slow ox carts drove from the intersection to see the patterns. One belonged to Feng Xue's cousin, and the other was Wu Zhu's car.
The ox cart stopped, and two men in different clothes also walked out of the car with the help of the servants.
The youngest one is Xu Qing, the county marquis of Sheyang County. He is 28 years old. He has no ability, but he doesn't make trouble casually. Although he is a little disliked by Feng Xue, he has never really done anything. He just occasionally makes things difficult for some trivial matters.
Another Wu Zhu looks much older, and looks like he is about sixty years old, but for his profession, he is still very young.
His surname is Xu, and he is considered to be a relative of Feng Xue in this life. However, the Xu family became princes dozens of generations ago and had already divided the families when the Xu Kingdom was established. As Wu Zhu from Xu for generations, it is worth mentioning that Wu Zhu is not a cultivator, but an ordinary person who has mastered certain special knowledge. If you want to say something magical, you will master some rituals in the mysterious sense, which is commonly known as the method of opening the altar.
"Wu Zhu, County Marquis." Feng Xue, County Magistrate and Yabo runners greeted each other according to their ranks and ceremonies. Then they heard Xu Qing's serious but slightly proud voice sounded-
"Brother Feng, what big thing happened to me? It's worth worrying about Wu Zhu's trip in person?"
"The county marquis doesn't know, and this matter will start with a murder case this morning." Feng Xue told the matter in full swing with an official attitude, but her eyes were always staring at Wu Zhu's state.
"Bolu..."
Just as he said that the corpse and the wreckage of the turtle disappeared, the sound of dice suddenly came from his mind—
【Metaphysics: 07/60 (successful)】(I almost looked like 70, it was really scary)
With Wu Zhu's metaphysical skills successful judgment, Wu Zhu, who had been silent and expressionless, finally trembled for a moment. His eyes seemed to be a little panic, but soon, it disappeared again in the eyes that seemed to be Wubo of the ancient well, buried by deep wrinkles.
"Where did you buy the turtle? What does it look like? Who has eaten it?"
Three questions were asked from Wu Zhu, and the county magistrate immediately asked someone to drag Mi over. When Mi saw Wu Zhu coming, her face suddenly became ashes and she knelt down and kowtowed immediately.
"Tell me what you ask! Or you will kill you now!"
When things got to this point, everyone understood that the trouble was getting big, and County Magistrate Luo kicked Na Mi even more irritably.
However, after this kick, Mi finally came to his senses, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately replied:
"I bought the turtle in Jiangkou and the fishermen. It looks like the turtle. Only my wife has eaten it..."
"How many nostrils of the turtle?" Wu Zhu asked a somewhat inexplicable question. Mi wanted to answer two immediately, but when he saw that Wu Zhu's face was wrong, he thought about it carefully before shook his head and said guiltily:
"I didn't look carefully..."
"Wu Zhu saw what?" At this time, Xu Qing had no chance to take the opportunity to make Feng Xue feel embarrassed. He could have seen that his cousin did not lie. This incident may indeed threaten the entire Sheyang County.
"I'm not sure yet, wait a moment, and wait for me to invite the city god to speak." Wu Zhu's face was serious, and asked the servants who were brought with him to take out various materials and prepare to open the altar to invite the gods.
In this era, the human cultivation system has not yet been completely formed. The monks are basically disciples of the Three Sects, and there are almost no casual cultivators. The practice method is still at the stage of reciting the Huangting day. There are extremely high requirements for talent. There are very few people who are getting started with the human race. The system of the incense and vows system derived from the Three Emperors (the human race sages are undefeated when they see the saints, and they are in the human race rather than the heavenly way, because they involve the human race's fortune, and they must not act rashly without any major events). This is the incense and vow system.
However, it is precisely because of the need for incense and vows, the Chenghuang Yinsi always has to do something for the living world. What they insist on is probably similar to the feeling of grassroots civil servants. Although they can live forever, they always have to do some errands and their status is not very high.
As Wu Zhu burned incense and prayed and recited mantras, the air around him became a little gloomy. Then, a man dressed up with an official but slightly transparent body appeared in front of the altar out of thin air. He greeted Wu Zhu and then asked:
"The little god is the city god of Sheyang County. I don't know what is the important thing to call Wu Zhu?"
"The City God is free from courtesy. There is a murder case in Sheyang County this morning, which may involve monsters. I'll trouble the City God to make a convenient way and invite the dead soul to ask for a few questions." Wu Zhu bowed and pointed three more high-quality sandalwood as tips. The City God smiled and nodded:
"Well, who is the name of the deceased?"
"Mi is a weapon." The county magistrate spoke without waiting for Wu Zhu to ask, and immediately spoke. When the city god heard this, he stretched out his hand and immediately a booklet appeared in his hand.
This book is a book of life and death, and does not have the function of placing life and death, but it records the detailed information of everyone who died in the local area, making it convenient for underworld management.
But after the city god turned over a few pages, his face became ugly. He looked over and over again and again, then he closed the book as if he confirmed and said seriously:
"No record, yesterday, today."
The Life and Death Book does not care about the real name and false name. The name is just an index similar to a search engine. As long as it has been used, it can sense the soul and be viewed by the Life and Death Book. Now there is no record in this volume. Either the soul is captured by something, or it is simply scattered.
Wu Zhu sighed, his face became more and more serious, and hesitated:
"I wonder if I can apply to check the main book of the Life and Death Book?"
Yes, the main book, if the volume is just a list of the dead, then the main book will record the cause of death and life together. Even the current location of the soul and the current location of the murderer who killed this person can be easily found. The judge used the projection of the main book of the Life and Death Book when he checked Feng Xue's life.
"This..." When the City God heard this request, his brow frowned. This underworld system is essentially similar to the official system. Grassroots personnel are pretty good. Even if they are greedy, they can do things. However, when it comes to the superiors, it's not that the other party doesn't do things, but you don't have the chance to meet at all!
Not to mention the treasures like the main book of the Life and Death Book, only a few top senior officials, such as the judge and Yan Jun, are qualified to check. Imagine that in the feudal era, for the sake of a person and the cause of death, a minor official reported to the head of a country, wouldn't he bring such a trick?
Wu Zhu was not surprised to hear this, and said as if he had expected it:
"This matter may involve tens of thousands of people in Sheyang County, and may even radiate to surrounding counties. If things are done, there will inevitably be a lot of humanitarian merits, and there will naturally be no less incense. But if something goes wrong, it will inevitably be cut off in Sheyang County, and then..."
Wu Zhu didn't continue to say anything, but the City God understood that Sheyang County was gone, so what else did he, the City God of Sheyang County, want him to do?
…………………………………………
ps: Regarding the protagonist of heaven and earth, in this book's world view, the protagonist of heaven and earth is a group favored by the way of heaven. But it should be noted that there is no so-called protagonist of heaven in this book. It is not that the protagonist of heaven and earth who thinks that you like you are, but that you are the protagonist of heaven and earth when you are prosperous.
During the Lich War, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan were the most prosperous, so at that time the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan were the protagonists of heaven and earth. Nuwa had merits in creating humans because she provided cheap labor, cannon fodder generators, and high-quality food to the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, instead of creating the protagonist. The position of the human race as the protagonist of heaven and earth was fought for by herself.
Simply put, you can regard the way of heaven as the collective subconscious of the prehistoric creatures, similar to the kind of Alaya, where you have a prosperous race and a large population. As the way of heaven as the collective subconscious, there will naturally be more components of the human race, and of course they tend to be more towards the human race.
