Chapter 178 Nine ileum 10

Feiyun Temple is located west of the south mountain outside the city. It is elegant and elegant. The main hall enshrined the Three Qing Heavenly Lords, but now the wealthy families in the capital are proclaimed Buddhists, except for the New Year Festival, there are almost no pilgrims in the temple.

The main Taoist name of the temple was Xuanqing. He was over fifty years old. When Wu Xiang brought the yamen servants to the temple, Xuanqing was meditating and practicing. When he saw someone coming from the yamen, the little Taoist priests were quite panicked. Taoist Xuanqing looked peaceful.

But when Wu Xiang asked about the Taoist priest who was kicked out of the Taoist temple last year, Taoist Xuanqing's face changed slightly.

Wu Xiang saw clearly, "Master Taoist, why did this person be driven out of the Taoist temple?"

Taoist Master Xuanqing frowned, and his Taoist robe looked like a fairy-like sensation. He shook his sleeves, "This person has left Feiyun Temple, and anything else has nothing to do with the people in the Temple."

Wu Xiang was a little helpless, "Don't worry, Taoist priest, the government office will not involve people casually. Now he suspects that this person is related to a murder case. I came to investigate and ask the Taoist priest to report the truth."

Xuanqing's expression was slightly relaxed and asked Wu Xiang to sit in the tea room. As soon as he spoke, Taoist Master Xuanqing's tone was still sighing, "He is commonly known as Li Shen, and his Taoist name is Xuanling. He is twelve years younger than me. He was picked up by his master at the age of seven or eight. Because he was weak, he was quite well taken care of by his master. But he didn't learn well since childhood. Later, he even returned to the Taoist temple for a few years, but because of his lack of livelihood, he returned to the Taoist temple. After returning to the Taoist temple, he liked to practice Taoism more than before, but he went on a wrong path, often using rituals to cheat money, and even took disciples privately."

Master Xuanqing sighed, "When his master was there, he had much protection for him, and he hid himself and did not dare to make trouble. But when his master left the year before, he became more and more arrogant. The disciples he accepted did not teach people the orthodox mountain doctors to divine their lives, but instead taught some strange sutras. Later, his disciple caused trouble outside and almost killed people. Then I took the initiative to expel him from the temple."

After saying that, Taoist Master Xuanqing looked at Wu Xiang, "Has he used magic to deceive people again?"

Wu Xiang shook his head and asked him back: "What kind of trick did he cheat before?"

"Someone has come to him for being incurable. He refined spiritual pills and sold them at a high price. Later, he almost killed people. Someone came to the Taoist temple to ask for an explanation, but he left for two months and only came back after the sacrificial momentum."

The old Taoist priest pointed to the deserted palace outside, "The headmaster also saw that dozens of people in this Taoist temple need food. Now there are fewer and fewer pilgrims in the temple. These people always have to survive. He almost killed people, and it is rare to persuade him to return to the right path. Even if I am concerned about the friendship between the master, I cannot tolerate him."

Taoist priests are nothing to refine elixirs, but most elixirs are harmful to people but not beneficial. Li Shen used this method to cheat money and almost caused a life. No wonder he was expelled from the Taoist temple. Since this person had a bad mind, he became more and more suspicious of Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang said: "The Taoist priest said he was weak and sick, but did he have hidden diseases?"

At this point, Dao Xuanqing sighed, "He is indeed sick, it was the two years he was in his twenties when he returned to secular life. After leaving the Taoist temple for two years, he got sick when he came back. The master pity him and left him in the Taoist temple for two years to recover. His illness was very strange and could not be injured. Anyone with a little bit of wound would not stop bleeding. On weekdays—"

"Is it a blood disease?" Wu Xiang couldn't help asking before Taoist Xuan Qing finished speaking.

Master Xuanqing was a little surprised and nodded, "It was this disease. The channel master was skilled in medical skills, which meant that the master cured him with his hands, but this disease could not be cured. The older he was, the harder it was to suffer."

Wu Xiang's eyes were bright, "Do you dare to ask the master if he knows the way to die in his family?"

"The art of death?" Master Xuanqing sank his face, "The headmaster asked what this is done? This art of death is not the right way, and it is extremely dangerous. Only liars will use this method to deceive people."

Wu Xiang hurriedly asked, "Li Shen used this method to deceive people?"

Xuan Qing sighed again, "It's probably a cheat. He cheated gold and silver everywhere, and used his elixir and magic to be magical. He even said lies like the art of death. Many people thought that following him to practice Taoism would be able to be reborn and become an immortal, so they spared no expense, but what he taught was just the five simple techniques of Taoism..."

"Can the Taoist priest know the whereabouts of this person?"

Xuan Qing frowned slightly, "I don't know this. He was expelled by me. He was resentful. His reputation has been destroyed. I am afraid he has left the capital and went outside to cheat and cheat."

The two were talking in the tea room, and several little Taoists at the door eavesdropping. At this time, one of them couldn't help but speak, "Master, uncle has not left the capital. A month ago, someone had seen him on the bank of the Luo River."

When the little Taoist priest of the Xuanqing Dynasty looked at it, Wu Xiang also stood up and walked to the door, "Who has seen it? Maybe he will come here?"

The little Taoist priest who had seen Li Shen was soon found. After a careful question, Wu Xiang found out that someone had really seen Li Shen. He asked about Li Shen again, and his body shape was almost the same as Zhang Duo described. Wu Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed! Li Shen's suspicion became more and more serious!

After asking about this person's life, Wu Xiang even found a Taoist priest who could paint and painted Li Shen's appearance. It took him half a day to go back to the capital. When he returned to the yamen, Bo Ruoyou happened to be there.

During the day, Bo Ruoyou went to the yamen to check the files, and found more than ten cases related to children, one by one, and finally found that in the past five years, two cases were very suspicious. Seeing Wu Xiang back, Bo Ruoyou naturally heard him first about what Feiyunguan got.

"It is true that a Taoist priest was driven out last year. This person suffered from ejaculation, but his condition was not rapid. With years of diagnosis and treatment, his condition has been temporarily stabilized. He is forty-two years old this year. He returned to the Taoist temple for 17 years seventeen years ago and returned to the Taoist temple fifteen years ago. If he was the murderer, it is very likely that the case of the Ming family's son fourteen years ago was caused by illness."

Wu Xiang said that the old Taoist priest was wrong and told everything. Bo Ruoyou heard Wu Tongming, "I never thought I had gained something! Since someone had seen him and now I have obtained a portrait, then go to the Shanxia Town of Xiangguo Temple to ask, and you can definitely find the old man who sells masks to ask, he may still remember it."

Wu Xiang was also full of hope, "I plan to use all the people in the yamen to investigate. Even if I dig three feet into the ground in the town, I will find this person."

Bo Ruoyou glanced at the thick stack of files taken out by the Neiku, "Since that's the case, there is no need to find clues from the files. You can also save it lightly in the past few days-"

Wu Xiang was like this, and Hu Changqing and the civil servants also breathed a sigh of relief. At the end of the year, there were already many affairs in the yamen, and life was very important for this case. Therefore, everyone had almost no rest. Now they had an important clue in Feiyun Temple, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xiang went to dispatch people, and Bo Ruoyou said goodbye and left the yamen. Feiyunguan was what Bo Yibo said. Bo Ruoyou thought about it and drove to the Hou's Mansion to inform Huo Weilou of the progress of the case.

The carriage was walking in a row. The snow had been half-clear a few days ago, and the cold wind that was blowing on her face was a bit biting. As soon as the carriage arrived in front of the Marquis's Mansion, Bo Ruoyou saw Huo Weilou coming out of the mansion and was about to take the car to leave, she quickly called the person.

Huo Weilou heard the sound and welcomed him. Bo Ruoyou got off the carriage and asked, "Where is the Marquis going?"

"Go to Xiangguo Temple--"
