Chapter 108 Wu Lu, why are you sitting on my husband’s lap?
Chapter 108 Wu Lu, why are you sitting on my husband’s lap?
"Get ready to go!"
Qin Muye also stood up. If Feng Shuang's guess was correct, the case of the house-guarding talisman would probably become the biggest case in Daqian in the past ten years.
It also involves wealthy families and a group of evil officials.
Only in this way is it worthy of having two masters accompany him.
He knew that doing so would definitely cause a storm and might even have adverse effects on him in the long run.
But sooner or later the dynasty will face a great chaos.
Whether you can survive at that time depends entirely on your ability.
What he should do now is to be a sharp weapon for the emperor to cause trouble and gain massive benefits and attribute points for himself.
What long term impact.
It's just an egg!
"it is good!"
Li Xingluo smiled and said, "I'll go call Taoist Kongxu. He's been resting for so many days, it's time for him to get back to work."
Bai Yuji looked normal, staying beside Qin Muye gently and quietly, but her attention was on Li Xingluo.
The latter opened the box, and an inconspicuous little dot of mud rolled down from the gap in the box and stuck to the puppet.
See this scene.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The mud dot was actually a poisonous insect, very similar to the Luanfeng Gu, with two insects in one. The other insect was in her ear, and through some special connections, she could hear all the sounds around the puppet.
These days she has been looking for an opportunity to get close to the puppet, but has never found one.
Firstly, there is no reason to get close, and secondly, the black egrets have extremely sensitive perceptions and their tricks can be easily discovered.
So she could only find an opportunity to control the poisonous insect to crawl into the gap of the box containing the puppet, enter a dormant state, and then stick to the puppet when the box was opened.
I'm not sure it will be useful, but what if I can hear something relevant?
See the plan succeed.
She finally felt relieved, pulled Qin Muye out of the house, and said in a low voice: "Muye! You guys go first, I want to go out for a while."
Qin Muye was a little confused: "Where are you going?"
Bai Yuji pursed her lips and said, "One of my clansmen fled to Yongzhou, and I want to... go visit them."
"Ok!"
Qin Muye squeezed her palm, then took out the purse from his waist and stuffed it into her hand.
No words were spoken.
But both of them understood what the other meant.
Bai Yuji stood on tiptoe, kissed him lightly, and then quickly left the Prince Yong's Mansion.
Li Xingluo walked out of the house and asked curiously, "Where are you going, Madam?"
"Oh!"
Qin Muye made up a story: "She has a junior sister here, go visit her, don't worry about her, let's go!"
Li Xingluo nodded: "Okay!"
A group of three people and two puppets left the Prince Yong's Mansion and strode towards the Yongzhou government office.
Almost there.
Qin Muye lowered his voice and said to Feng Shuang, "When we get to the government office later, let's see if He Li has taken out the talisman paper. If not, I will hold them back while you and Miss Wu Lu go to look for it. After we find it, we will leave directly. Niu Pingtian is a coward, so get rid of him if you can."
"Yes!"
Feng Shuang nodded seriously. He knew the importance of concealing his tracks.
When they arrived at the government office, they were all dumbfounded.
Those talisman papers that were suspected to be problematic were neatly placed in the center of the document library along with the files.
The entire yamen was empty. Apart from He Li who was waiting there, there were only a few clerks. Even Niu Pingtian was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Muye asked curiously, "Where are the people from the government office?"
He Li said with great sorrow, "Your Excellency! My little son went out to play a few days ago, and the government office just received a blackmail letter from bandits. Yang Canjun has taken military officers to rescue him. If Your Excellency had not needed me to prepare the documents, I would have gone with him."
good good!
In order to clear up the relationship, you can even direct such a drama.
The bandits kidnapped the governor's son, um...
What a clever little guy!
Qin Muye asked again: "What about Niu Pingtian?"
He Li said quickly, "We caught a cow beast a few days ago. It was really wild and difficult to tame. Lord Niu was furious when he heard about it and has gone to help us tame it."
The corners of Qin Muye's mouth twitched.
You want to send Niu Pingtian away and show your goodwill to me, right?
Worthy!
You old man, you are quite smart!
He Li looked worried and embarrassed: "Master Qin! Now Master Feng is with you, you see..."
Qin Muye was not the kind of person who didn't know better. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Human life is at stake. Sir He, go and rescue your son!"
"Thank you!"
He Li formally bowed to Feng Shuang and said, "Lord Feng! While I'm away, the Yongzhou government office will be handed over to you."
Feng Shuang: “…”
Qin Muye: "Tsk..."
Good, good, Feng Shuang is the person primarily responsible again.
It is estimated that the old loach’s youngest son will not be rescued before this case is solved.
But it’s better this way, we can’t ask too much from him.
After watching He Li leave, he was the only one left in the document library.
Qin Muye grinned: "Old Feng, this pot is not light!"
Feng Shuang straightened his chest and said, "As long as it can benefit the people of Lingnan, I can handle any pot, no matter how big it is!"
Say it.
He directly took out the talisman paper in question and handed it to Li Xingluo: "Miss Wu Lu, look!"
Li Xingluo took out the talisman paper and his eyes suddenly lit up: "This talisman master is quite capable!"
Qin Muye also became interested: "What do you mean?"
Li Xingluo picked up the brush and drew a few strokes: "My Lord, this is the original version of the house-guarding talisman. Its inner principle is to sense the murderous aura, and then use all the spiritual energy contained in it to suppress and kill the target.
Although such a house-warding talisman is very powerful, its cost is quite high.
However, the spiritual energy stored in this house-guarding talisman is less than one percent, and its material is of the lowest quality.
The runes can extend outwards and resonate with the runes within a hundred feet. If they are disturbed, they can drain the spiritual energy of other runes and kill them. "
"What level of evil can be stopped?"
"If it's below the fifth rank, it can probably last for ten breaths."
"Not bad, how much does it cost?"
"For one ounce of silver, I can draw twenty pictures."
“What a huge profit!”
Qin Muye shook his head and picked up another one: "Don't sigh for now, let's see if we can find the trick on it."
"it is good!"
Li Xingluo nodded, stared at the talisman paper and began to think hard.
Qin Muye curled his lips. What is Li Xingluo pretending to be?
The moment I got the talisman paper, I knew what the problem was.
The talisman paper looked normal, and after inputting true Qi, the rune circuit could be activated smoothly.
but……
It doesn't taste right!
In other words, there is an additional medicinal ingredient in the paint.
Once this medicinal material comes into contact with water, it will merge with the cinnabar in the pigment, insulating it from spiritual energy, and the talisman paper will naturally become useless.
The evil ones only need to urinate on it to break into the house and kidnap people. If their cultivation level is higher than theirs, they won't even make any sound.
As for the talisman paper, when the water dries up, the medicine will be extracted and the talisman paper will return to normal.
This medicine is colorless and tasteless, and only a very small amount is used, so ordinary people can't detect it at all.
And it is not firmly attached to the talisman paper. If you are not careful, it will almost fall off after you pick it up and down several times.
What a fucking genius!
It is now basically confirmed that this is a collusion between the wealthy and powerful families and the corrupt officials.
Secular power seeks out civilian genius.
The sale of talisman paper is completed.
Then someone went into the house and robbed people.
Such an assembly line cannot be explained by coincidence.
After refining the totem source energy, his five senses and comprehension have basically reached an invincible level. For a case like this, it is basically like turning on the perspective cheat.
Even a talisman master might not be able to figure out this level of skill, because this medicine was beyond the scope of talisman making. But it was useless in front of him and Li Xingluo.
Solving the case was never the point.
The right thing to do is to confront the interest groups behind them head-on.
Qin Muye was already thinking about how he was going to get there.
but.
He couldn't speak yet.
Because once you open your mouth, you will expose your five senses.
We have to wait for Li Xingluo.
but……
Li Xingluo looked like he was deep in thought, as if he couldn't figure out the mystery at all.
But his eyes had already been fixed on Taoist Master Kongxu.
This question is too simple, there is no point in solving it directly.
Why not take this opportunity to test it again?
A few days ago on the flying boat, Taoist Kongxu was in a folded state, and she couldn't find a chance to test him.
This time I finally found the opportunity. Anyway, I am the only one who knows the secret of this talisman paper, so I can take this opportunity to attack the enemy by surprise.
He borrowed the talisman paper first to attract the attention of Taoist Master Kongxu and let Qin Muye relax his guard.
Then suddenly he struck back.
If Qin Muye and Taoist Kongxu were really the same person, he would definitely be killed unexpectedly.
I'm so smart!
However, more haste makes waste. If you want to lure the enemy deep into your territory, you must first let them relax their vigilance.
Li Xingluo made up his mind, asked Feng Shuang for some materials for making talismans, and began to write and draw frantically.
One after another.
Keep making changes.
He looked like he was trying to find flaws in the talisman paper.
It took an hour to complete this painting.
She was sweating profusely, as if she had exhausted all her energy.
Feng Shuang was as quiet as a chicken and did not dare to influence the boss's thinking at all.
Qin Muye didn't know what she was up to, and he was getting a little impatient waiting, but he still pretended to be concerned: "Wulu, are you okay?"
Li Xingluo rubbed his head: "It's okay, I just spent too much energy and feel a little dizzy."
She felt that the time was almost up, so she picked up the talisman and walked towards the puppet: "Master! I seem to have grasped some problems with this talisman, but I can't put it into words. I remember that last time I watched you infuse spirits, you talked about the construction of the puppet's soul-imitating patterns, but I don't remember it clearly. Can you tell me again?"
The puppet asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with making talismans?"
Li Xingluo nodded: "Very likely!"
"It may take some time to explain this clearly."
"Don't be afraid! Just take your time!"
talking.
Li Xingluo handed him a piece of charcoal and asked him to use the wall of the document library to explain.
The puppet did not doubt him, picked up the charcoal and began to talk: "Puppet refining is indeed similar to talisman making. The soul-imitation patterns and runes are essentially circuits formed by spiritual energy..."
See him talking freely.
Li Xingluo moved two chairs and waved to Qin Muye.
When Qin Muye sat next to him, he began to listen attentively like a top student.
But in his heart he was silently paying attention to the puppet's tone.
The moment when the puppet was speaking most attentively was also the moment when Qin Muye was listening most attentively.
Li Xingluo's eyes suddenly rolled back, his body softened and he fell towards Qin Muye.
This wave came suddenly.
And it is in the blind spot of the puppet's vision.
If the two were not the same person, Qin Muye would definitely react before the puppet.
If the two people are really the same person, the puppet's narrative rhythm will definitely go wrong immediately.
I am so smart!
"Oh!"
Li Xingluo fell into a strong embrace.
"Wulu, what's wrong with you?"
This is Qin Muye's voice.
About half a breath passed.
The puppet realized it belatedly and rushed over worriedly: "Prince... Prince! What happened to Miss Wu Lu?"
Qin Muye shook his head: "I don't know! I suddenly fainted."
Li Xingluo: “…”
They're really not the same person?
But the show must go on.
She hugged Qin Muye's neck and opened her eyes with difficulty. Sweat was pouring down her face and her breathing was a little rapid. "I'm fine. I just spent a lot of energy. It's not a big deal..."
She wanted to stand up quickly, but when she smelled Qin Muye's scent, she felt dizzy.
As a result, she stumbled and sat on his lap.
what?
Li Xingluo suddenly shuddered?
No way, Qin Muye, you are too hungry!
I look so ordinary now, and you...
She felt something was wrong with her body, as if every drop of her blood was emitting heat, making her whole body hot. The heat then gathered in her lower abdomen, forming a warm spring that slowly flowed down to her navel.
Ah this!
This is this...
Just now.
A voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Miss Wu Lu? Why are you sitting on my husband's lap?"
The two were startled.
They all looked out the door.
I found that Bai Yuji was looking at this side with eyes wide open and a look of shock on her face.
Li Xingluo was speechless: "I..."
This was the first time she felt so guilty.
It feels like being caught having an affair with a married man.
Qin Muye quickly explained: "Miss Wu Lu spent too much energy and suddenly fainted."
Li Xingluo quickly agreed: "Ah, yes, yes!"
The puppet also hurried to come to the rescue: "Miss Wu Lu has been looking for the talisman paper, which is really exhausting."
Bai Yuji finally breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is..."
She had been eavesdropping just now, and it seemed that she was indeed overthinking.
"I'm sorry, my lord!"
Li Xingluo also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly struggled to get up, but his body was still paralyzed.
Struggle once, sit down once.
Every time you sit down, you get bumped.
She was numb.
"do not move!"
Bai Yuji hurriedly stopped him and ran over quickly: "Let me take your pulse!"
talking.
He grabbed Li Xingluo's wrist.
Then, the atmosphere became awkward.
After a while.
Bai Yuji looked at Qin Muye in confusion: "Muye, did you give Miss Wu Lu an aphrodisiac?"
Qin Muye: “???”
Li Xingluo: “!!!”
Feng Shuang: “…”
