Chapter 23 Progress

Cheng Muyou shook his head and smiled, then sat down in front of the table, picked up the file next to him and turned it on, stood on the table with his elbows, his hands overlapped, and his long and cold eyebrows gathered together.

"The Lin family's silver loss case, the Wangjinglou case, Zhou Yingluo, Qin Ding, Shu'er, there have been five cases. How did you escape from the control of the host and come to the world to do evil?"

The light shook a few times, Cheng Muyou raised his eyes slightly, looked at the wall on the side, then suddenly raised his head and rubbed his eyes.

In addition to his own shadow, there was also a strange black shadow on the wall. The thing seemed to be hanging upside down on the beam of the house, with legs hanging high, and two slender arms stumbled downwards, reaching towards his waist.

Cheng Muyou did not make any sound, glanced at the lower right. He saw that the two monkey-like hands had reached the rope with the jade pendant tied around his waist, and was trying to untie it with his hands and feet. His eyes climbed up along the arms, and finally came to the head hanging above his shoulders. When he glanced at the thief, he was shocked, but he immediately forced himself to calm down, because the man had no mouth, nose, ears and eyebrows on his face, only one eye was crossed, occupying most of the face, with big eyes, but Cheng Muyou had already discovered himself, because all his attention was on the jade pendant below, and he was trying his best to untie it.

Finally, the rope was loose, and the jade pendant fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The man was startled by the sound and slowly turned his head to look at Cheng Muyou. Then he realized that he was staring at him, and it seemed that he had been staring at him for a long time.

After blinking twice, it suddenly slid down from the beam of the house, and its feet touched the ground. It bent down and grabbed the jade pendant and put it in its mouth. It ran out of the door with its hands and feet. Its body was flexible, and it looked like a huge monkey.

Cheng Muyou's left hand had already touched the hilt of the sword when it was not paying attention. Seeing that it was about to escape, he shouted angrily and pulled out the sword to chase it out of the door. But the monster was very fast. When he chased into the yard, it had already jumped to the wall, turned around and looked at Cheng Muyou with a provocative look, and jumped towards the opposite side.

Cheng Muyou stopped moving and counted silently in his heart. Sure enough, before he counted to five, he heard a strange scream across the wall. Then, a lazy voice floated over, "Sir Cheng, don't throw filth around, almost hit me."

Cheng Muyou bowed across the wall, "I was careless and asked the girl to hand over the thief back to me. Cheng was very grateful."

"It has been beaten to death by me."

"The girl keeps someone, I have something to ask."

The opposite side laughed, "Sir, come to the embroidery shop, it's still alive, maybe you can ask some questions."

Cheng Muyou hurriedly walked out of Xin'an Mansion and came to Jihong Embroidery House. The door was open, as if waiting for his arrival. He walked in and saw Yan Niang standing under the grape trellis, and the bare vines set off her back even more lonely. He walked forward and said, "Girl, where is Peng Ju?"

"Dead."

"Dead?"

Yan Niang turned around and handed the jade pendant to Cheng Muyou. "I just ask me if you have anything to say. I know astronomy and geography, so why bother asking a corpse god?"

Seeing that her face was always smiling, Cheng Muyou tentatively tentatively, "Miss Yan is in a good mood?"

"Sir, I'm so verbose," she said, and then rushed to the pool of black oil beside her, "Aren't you more concerned about why Peng Ju stole your jade pendant?"

"The Nine Wise Girls said that some people have impure six senses, and the three corpses will leave their hosts."

Yan Niang glanced at him sideways, "Nine Wise Girls? Who is she?"

"The master of Sansu Temple is a Taoist nun."

"This is strange. I only know that the three corpse gods will go out for an hour on Gengshen night, but I have never heard of a situation where they will never return."

"How much does the girl know about the three corpses?"

Yan Niang shoveled some soil with her feet to bury the pile of black oil. "There was a Taoist master named Guo Xia in the Western Jin Dynasty. He used medicine mainly composed of Poria cocos to confuse the three corpses, causing them to lose all their desires. He also cleansed his body and was able to ascend. Zhao Yuanhe, a master of Taoism in the Southern Tang Dynasty, used another method to completely remove the three corpses, and therefore he was in the position of gods."

Cheng Muyou took a step forward, "What is the method?"

Yan Niang smiled slightly, "Kill the three corpses."

"Cut off the three corpse gods?"

Yan Niang nodded, "There are very few people who know about this. I occasionally found a long-lost ancient book, and only then did I know the wonderful use of killing the three corpses. The three corpses are obsessions. They need to completely kill the obsessions on the night of Gengshen to ascend to become an immortal. But it is not easy to kill the three corpses. It is born from humans, and it is shaped by their parents and children, and is full of food essence. It is an insect in the belly of humans. It understands the most clearly what people think, so how can they come out easily when they know that the host is the main killer. "

"Then how did Zhao Yuanhe get rid of the three corpses?"

"He was originally a flower Taoist priest who was always with wine and meat, but since he knew this method, he cultivated his body and nature, without any wine, meditated all day long, striving to be clear about his heart and desires, without any thoughts or demands, so that the three corpses could not feel the thoughts he was hiding. One day, the three corpses in his body were confused by him and left the host on Gengshen night. At this moment, he ordered his disciple to kill the three corpses with a peach wood sword, and he was able to ascend."

After hearing her words, Cheng Muyou frowned and did not speak for a long time.

"Sir, what are you thinking?"

"According to what Miss Yan said, those who can ascend are all high-ranking masters who have attained Taoism. The nine wise women who have great Taoism are so powerful, why did they let their disciples guard Gengshen? This is really strange."

Yan Niang smiled again, "Sir, I'm really interesting. Maybe she is really broad-minded and willing to contribute."

Cheng Muyou shook his head helplessly, "At this critical moment, girl, don't joke. Xixi was attacked by three corpses near Sansuguan. Tonight I just came back from there and was targeted by Peng Ju, so there must be something wrong with those nine wise daughters and those three sages."

As he was talking, Yan Niang suddenly looked out the door and his ears moved slightly. Cheng Muyou stared at her face and was about to ask again, but suddenly he heard a slight sound of horse hooves coming from the long street. The sound was getting closer and louder, obviously coming to Xin'an Mansion. He quickly walked out of Jihong Embroidery Village, and Yan Niang followed closely behind. The two saw a white horse running towards this area, with four hooves churning and a long mane flying.

The horse stopped at the gate of Xin'an Mansion and stopped, and turned a yamen runner down on the horse's back. When he saw Cheng Muyou, he hugged and saluted, "Sir, I came from Kuizhou. I am instructed by Lord Liu. If there is a new progress in the matter of Changle Palace, I will come here to find him. I wonder if Lord Liu is in the mansion?"
