Chapter Thirty-One: How innocent is a poor Taoist who obeys the law and abides by the law?
"What do you think?"
Zhao Xun's words made the other three people look thoughtful.
After a while, Yang Wenli could hear him say, "The words and deeds are very open, not like lying."
Zhao Xun looked at the other two.
The other two demon-slaying officials in red clothes also showed a look of contemplation.
"All three think that it was not him who killed people?" the young demon-slaying official frowned.
"On the surface, it shouldn't be." Yang Wenli responded and said, "But no matter whether it is or not, the clues for the next step have been cut off on him, so we don't need to investigate."
"What should we do about this case?" Another man pondered: "If it weren't for him, the clue would be cut off and we would have no way to investigate; if it was him, things would be even more troublesome."
"According to facts, the next thing is the matter of the master of the Palm Domain, which has nothing to do with us."
Zhao Xun said lightly: "The Demon Hunting Mansion is to kill demons and eliminate demons. Walking outside, there are casualties every day. Death of Zhou Ying is nothing. Are there fewer colleagues who die inexplicably? At present, demons are in chaos in Daxia, and the Demon Hunting Mansion is insufficient. If Lord Zheng had not been severely injured by the incident, Lord Zheng would not have been so concerned..."
Yang Wenli nodded slightly, and knew in his heart that the Demon Hunting Mansion was established not long ago, but there were not a few demon-killing officials who died outside.
These demon-beheaded officials who died on duty may not have found out the cause of their deaths one by one, nor may they have found out who the murderer was!
There have been many headless cases since ancient times.
It was only this time that Mr. Zheng was involved, which made the Lord of the Palmology pay so much attention.
But when the matter was found, the clue was stopped at the Shen Lian Zhenren on Fengyuan Mountain, and they were no longer able to continue to investigate.
If you really want to continue investigating the case, it will be the matter of the senior officials of the Demon Hunting Mansion, or Master Zheng will come forward. However, since the Taoist priest Fengyuanshan is a top-level real person in the God Refining Realm, this case will probably be concluded like this.
Of course, no matter whether this is settled or not, it has nothing to do with them, the red-clothed demon-slaying officials in the Qi Refining Realm.
"I wrote this matter myself and wrote it to the Demon Hunting Mansion."
Zhao Xun said this and took out a piece of talisman paper from his hand and said in a deep voice: "The case is not yet decided. According to the rules of the Demon Hunting Mansion, nothing about this case must be rumored, and you must keep your mouth shut!"
The other three took out the talisman paper.
This talisman is called the oath talisman, which is to keep the secret.
As long as you swear with this talisman, you must not violate it within one year. Otherwise, you will be burned by a fire!
Usually, any confidential matter is not important after a year. By that time, it doesn’t matter whether it is spread outside or not.
Of course, if the announcement is not allowed, then this group of people will be recalled in advance and then swear with the oath talisman in front of the head of the Demon Hunting Mansion!
"My name is Zhao Xun. I use talismans to make a vow. All clues about this case are kept in their mouths and will never be rumored!"
Zhao Xun bit his index finger and pointed it on the talisman paper, and then the talisman paper burned and turned into ashes.
Yang Wenli and others did as they said.
But the young-looking demon-slaying official in red had a strange look in his eyes and hesitated slightly.
But he finally made a vow, pointing the talisman with blood, and the talisman paper burned out immediately.
Then, four demon-slaying officials in red clothes said goodbye to each other and dispersed their heads.
But after a moment, a young Taoist came out of the mountains and forests.
"Sure enough, do you have some doubts about me?"
"If I hadn't been cheating before... Bah, when I was catching monsters before, I had mastered my superb acting skills, it would have been easy to show off my strength."
Taoist Master Baoshou followed him secretly, not to kill people to silence him, but just wanted to know how they determined this matter.
In fact, he had already expected that with the current national conditions of the Great Xia Dynasty, he would not use more power to investigate the matter for the sake of a mere red-clothed demon-slaying official.
After all, he did not kill Zhou Ying openly, provoke the Demon Hunting Mansion, and trample on the prestige of the Great Xia Kingdom.
For the Great Xia Dynasty, it would not bother a real person in the God Refining Realm without clues.
After entering the Great Xia Dynasty, a real person like Yuan Xiaozhou was exposed to a huge disaster hidden in the dark, which made the Demon Hunting Mansion very troubled and was unable to capture and kill.
So how could the Daxia Dynasty force a local god refiner who was openly committed to the public and law-abiding real person in Daxia because of no evidence, just a little bit of suspicion?
As they said just now, the reason why this matter was taken seriously is because the so-called "Mr. Zheng" had a change?
But he, Taoist Master Baoshou, didn’t he know Lord Zheng?
What does Lord Zheng have to do with me, Taoist Master Baoshou?
"Someone must have followed the flow and linked the matter of Lord Zheng with Zhou Ying, and then framed me."
Taoist Master Baoshou couldn't help but sigh and whispered: "I am abiding by the law and have been framed. How innocent?"
——
And in the southeast direction.
The young man, one of the four red-clothed demon-slaying officials, suddenly stopped.
His expression changed and his face was a little pale, but he sighed in his heart, and took a piece of white paper.
He circulates his true energy, tracing across the paper, leaving traces and forming words.
"I will relocate the mountain gate of this sect, please choose another treasure land!"
He folded the paper into a paper crane, and his true energy moved, chanting the spell in a low voice.
Immediately, I saw paper cranes flying up, like living things, heading towards the sky and disappearing in the south.
He looked to the end of the sky and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the text, Fengyuan Mountain is not mentioned, the Taoist priest, or everything related to the case is not considered a violation of the oath.
——
Paper cranes flew high, thousands of miles away, and landed on a high mountain.
There was a middle-aged man who stretched out his hand.
The paper crane flew into his hand, spread it out on its own, and turned into a piece of paper.
The middle-aged man glanced at him, and his originally calm expression suddenly became solemn.
He suddenly stood up and hurried away with the piece of paper.
A moment later, he came to the main hall of the mountain gate and paid homage to the sect leader.
"Just one sentence?"
In the hall, there was an old man in his sixties. He looked at the piece of paper in his hand and his eyebrows were slightly frowned.
This person is the leader of Xingluo Sect!
"Just one sentence." The middle-aged man whispered.
"I have been searching for a famous mountain for ten years and found a treasure land without a master. Just by saying a disciple who has just entered the Qi Refining Realm, I will give up ten years of hard work?"
The Master Xingluo Sect looked cold and said slowly: "Xingluo Mountain is not as big as before. It has become thinner in spirit, and its fortune gradually becomes bad, and sooner or later it will become poor mountains and rivers. In the past twelve years, the new disciples under the sect have been slow and difficult to get started. You also see that the younger disciples in the sect cannot grow up, and the Xingluo Sect can only gradually decline. If they do not relocate, how can the ancestors maintain their foundation?"
The middle-aged man suddenly fell silent, but thought for a moment before saying, "Senior brother, my disciple has always been rigorous. Since I have told this, there must be a reason. Why not, I will write a book, ask about the whole story, know the truth, and then make a decision?"
