Chapter 119 Three Days

Qi Xuansu released his true energy, sucked the leaf cage of the Thunder God Pot into his palm, put down the candlestick, and opened the lid of the pot. As expected, there was also a rolled up note inside.

At the same time, Qi Xuansu smelled the unique smell of Thunder God Kettle again.

There was a name written on the note: Yue Lian.

At this moment, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the door.

Qi Xuansu put the note into his sleeve and turned around to look at it.

I saw a lantern floating over from the corridor outside the door.

"Surround them all." A stern voice immediately silenced everyone everywhere, and then the lantern went straight into the house. Behind the lantern were Liu Futong, the Taoist priest in charge of "Tianle Taoyuan" and several followers.

Qi Xuansu didn't need to speak, Liu Futong's eyes were already locked on Qi Xuansu: "It's you again! Come on, get it for me."

"Who dares!" Qi Xuansu shouted, causing several guards who were about to make a move to stop.

Qi Xuansu looked directly at Liu Futong: "Mr. Liu, you just take people without asking any questions? It's easy to catch people, but it's hard to release them."

Liu Futong took a deep breath, looked at Qi Xuansu with squinted eyes, and said solemnly: "Even if you are from Pei Zhenren, you cannot openly kill people in 'Tianle Taoyuan'."

Qi Xuansu smiled: "Mr. Liu, you want to put this shit basin on my head? I'm afraid you made a wrong calculation. I set off from Wuxu Palace in Xijing Prefecture, left Xijing, passed the Ghost Pass, and then arrived at Longmen There are clearance records in every place in the government. If you check it, you will know that the time does not match up with the murder. What's more, the 7000th household of Qingluan Guard testified against me. Are you the murderer? Do you really think that the masters and masters above are fools? Or are you saying that you can hide the truth from the Taoist sect? "

Qi Xuansu paused and said in a more serious tone: "Mr. Liu, tell your people to get down."

All the guards looked at each other and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Although Liu Futong was angry, he knew that what Qi Xuansu said was justified, so he could only suppress his anger: "Okay, okay... I made a mistake and misunderstood you. Back off."

The guard who was originally planning to take someone away quickly retreated as if he had received an amnesty.

"But I also tell you!" Liu Futong's pretense of Taoist elegance was gone at this time, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his violent temper was undoubtedly revealed, "Even if you didn't kill the person, you can break in without permission." "Tianle Taoyuan" and making a fuss in "Qiong Tower" have evil intentions. I can take you to Wanshou Chongyang Palace and hand you over to Pei Zhenren right now. "

Qi Xuansu remained calm and calm: "Mr. Liu, just now, the murderer openly committed the murder under your nose and then walked away. Now that the case has reached this stage, it can no longer be suppressed. I advise you, It's not too late to make amends. Try your best to solve the case before it gets too bad and bring the murderer to justice. At the very least, you won't be charged with dereliction of duty. If you wait, you may be able to make up for the loss. The superiors know that if they pursue the case, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as dismissal from office, and they might even have to go to Fengxian Hall!"

Liu Futong's face turned pale, and his voice even trembled: "It's nonsense, it's nonsense."

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "Whether it is nonsense, Mr. Liu, you know in your heart. How many people are eyeing the position of the chief of 'Tianle Taoyuan', and how many people want to replace him, Mr. Liu should know better than me. You can today Take me down, but can you take down those people too?”

There was dead silence.

No one dared to speak.

Liu Futong's face was full of solemnity: "I heard that your words mean that you want to show me a clear path? I am all ears."

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "I'm here to solve the case. Mr. Liu, you passed the test, and I get the credit. We each get what we need, and maybe we can even form a good relationship."

Liu Futong showed his determination to kill at this time, without too much hesitation and thought: "Okay, you come to solve the case, I allow you to enter and leave Tianle Taoyuan freely, and you can also inspect the corpses in the morgue, but I can only give you Three days, three days later, if the case still cannot be solved..."

Qi Xuansu interrupted: "In three days, I will definitely give an explanation to Chief Liu."

Liu Futong snorted coldly, threw a sign to Qi Xuansu, then turned around and strode away.

The followers and the lantern also rushed away,

Qi Xuansu looked back at Huaqi's body expressionlessly and left the place.

By the time Qi Xuansu returned to Shimen County, it was already dark. However, all the Qingluan guards here recognized Qi Xuansu and hurriedly led him to see the eighth day Yang.

On the eighth day, Yang saw Qi Xuansu coming back and immediately asked, "How was it?"

Qi Xuansu briefly recounted what happened, including his fight with the man wearing the white fox mask and Liu Futong's reaction.

On the eighth day, Yang said: "So, the murderer is actually a person from Taiping Road?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and said: "I dare not make a hasty conclusion. The 'Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Sword Palm' is not a secret secret that is not passed down to the outside world. It is just a basic palm technique for the disciples of the Li family. It is not unusual even if it is spread to the outside world. There is no guarantee that the murderer is not deliberately confusing the public."

"What Brother Wei said is absolutely true." Eighth Tianyang nodded, "Then in Brother Wei's opinion, who is this person?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head and did not answer. He took out the note with "Yue Lian" written on it and placed it side by side with the note with "Hua Qi" written on it.

"There is nothing visible on the handwriting. Is there such a note in the previous Thunder God Pot?" Qi Xuansu asked.

The eighth day Yang was very sure: "Absolutely not."

Qi Xuansu pondered, "That is to say, the murderer has only recently started to act like this. Why did he do this? Provoking? Or is he planning something else?"

The Eighth Tianyang glanced at the note.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Who is this 'Yue Lian'? Is she also a courtesan?"

"She used to be." The Eighth Tianyang has been investigating the case here for a short time, but he has done a lot of homework. "But she quit when she got older. Now she is the manager of 'Tianle Taoyuan' and is highly trusted by Liu Futong."

Qi Xuansu took out the sign given by Liu Futong and said, "It seems that we have to go to 'Tianle Taoyuan' again. Brother Eighth, pick a few good players and we will go together. We can't let him run away again."

The Eighth Tianyang quickly picked out the people, a total of four people, three of whom are in the Kunlun stage, one is in the Yuxu stage, plus Qi Xuansu, Liu Hu, and the Eighth Tianyang. As long as the person wearing the white fox mask is not a celestial being, he will never be a match.

The group took advantage of the night to come to "Tianle Taoyuan" again. Because of the sign given by Liu Futong, they had no obstacles this time, and Qi Xuansu didn't need to bully others. They came directly to "Qionglou".

After the previous commotion, many people have recognized Qi Xuansu, especially Liu Futong, who was choked by him, but he was helpless. He just thought Qi Xuansu was a big shot from above, so he not only didn't stop him, but took the initiative to greet him.

Qi Xuansu casually pointed to the leading guard: "Take me to see Yue Lian, the manager."

The guard immediately looked embarrassed.

But Qi Xuansu didn't give him a chance to refuse: "Lead the way!"

In fact, in many cases, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are very similar, but more often, Qi Xuansu doesn't have Zhang Yuelu's background to show off.

The guard could only respond and lead Qi Xuansu and others all the way to the highest point of "Qionglou".

The highest point of "Qionglou" is a hall, which used to be the residence of Purple Fairy King. The Taoist priests in charge of successive generations did not dare to use it casually.

The hall is very large, supported by twelve red painted pillars, decorated with gold patterns and reliefs of two dragons playing with pearls, which are exquisite. Curtains made of various colors of silk are hung on the pillars to block people's sight.

After entering the hall, there is a straight passage with red carpets. On both sides of the straight passage, two large pools are hollowed out. The walls are made of white jade and the ground is made of green jade. There is clear water, and the bottom is blue. There is also a waterway that surrounds the hall and connects the two pools. Fish can be seen swimming in them. Lotus lanterns float on the water, moving around the hall with the water and illuminating the entire hall.

At the end of the straight road, which is the deepest part of the hall, there is a twelve-panel screen with a magnificent painting of "Heavenly Master Ascending to the Immortal". Above, thousands of white clouds support the nine-layered sky, and below is a vast lake. Under the sky, there is purple air, and ninety-nine cranes on the lake are about to flap their wings and fly. The whole picture is magnificent and majestic. Only between heaven and earth, there is a white figure, looking up at the purple air and the sky behind the purple air. It is the Heavenly Master.

This picture is not a copy, but a painting by a master who was fortunate enough to witness the Heavenly Master of Zhengyi Dao ascending to the immortal world.

Behind this screen, the first thing that comes into view is a flat bed with a length and width of ten feet and a height of no more than three inches. In the middle of it is a small square table like a chessboard, all made of red sandalwood. There is a set of three things, a censer and a bottle, on the left and right of the small table. The censer and the chopstick bottle are made by the Dajin official kiln, painted with blue and white. It is said that "a piece of wealth is not as good as a fortune". The incense burned in it is the best ambergris, one inch of which is worth one gold.

There is a wine pot and a wine glass on the table, and a mature woman is kneeling next to her. She is wearing a light gauze, her beautiful body is looming, and she is lowering her eyebrows and looking pleasant. She is gently moving the incense in the censer with a long golden chopstick.
