Qingyue Temple

As soon as Tao Taiqing walked out of the gate of Qingyue Temple, his body shook violently.

The subordinate police officers quickly supported him: "Captain Tao, are you okay?"

Tao Taiqing shook his head. Just now, in a trance, he seemed to feel something that he had ignored, and asked the Huicheng police force who was about to leave: "Comrade Wang, you just said that the four victims in that car, including Are the drivers locals from Huicheng?"

"Yes."

Tao Taiqing muttered, recalling the words of the ghost car driver in the dream: "Three local passengers, two out-of-town passengers..."

At that time, the car fell into the pool. Zhang Yuanwu, who was terrified, jumped out of the window to escape in a panic, and once looked back.

Tao Taiqing's gaze also followed Zhang Yuanwu's, and he saw several unrecognizable people, besides them, there was a person in the corner of the car, that person should be the "outsider" that Zhang Yuanwu was with, as the driver said. But the man was blocked by a car. When Tao Taiqing wanted to see, he just missed his face, as if he only saw a piece of red clothes on his body.

red?

Seeing that Tao Taiqing was in a daze, the person being asked asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Tao Taiqing shook his head: "Nothing? Let's go first, thank you for your help this time."

"Should be, serve the people!"

When Tao Taiqing heard this, he also led the police officers in his team, stood at attention and saluted the police officers in Huicheng.

Zhang Yuanwu's body has been found, and it's time for his family to identify the body.

Zhang Yuanwu died very strangely. His body sat quietly in the back seat of the unmanned ghost car that sank under the water. There was no sign of being moved, as if he was a passenger who got into the car before the car crashed.

The policemen involved in this case all decided to go to the temple to worship after finishing the case, which is really scary enough.

Tao Taiqing and other Lincheng policemen drove down the mountain and left Shanshui Manor. Tao Taiqing looked at the road from Shanshui Manor to Qingyue Temple, and was in a daze again, as if he saw Zhang Yuanwu walking along this road.

It's just... Zhang Yuanwu didn't seem to be alone when he was walking on the mountain road.

·

Fang Shanshui and Tao Taiqing made an appointment at 8 o'clock in the evening. After sending Tao Taiqing away, they decided to go back and recite the scriptures for a while, and they just went out to Lincheng at night.

Now Fang Shanshui is the real Yangshen, out of the body, the body is almost the same as the physical body, even if there is, ordinary people can't see the abnormality, they can come and go freely, and the movement is very convenient.

Fang Shanshui looked at the pixiu gourd in his hand. He carved that piece of jadeite into a piece of jade with the method of drawing symbols while absorbing the essence of the sun.

The gourd under the Pixiu itself has the meaning of storage, so in the process of carving, it also gathered a lot of sun essence, coupled with the effect of Pixiu’s anti-evil, this newly completed jade carving already has some anti-evil. The meaning of magic weapon.

However, if you want to exchange important ancient books that others have collected for many years, you still need to be more cautious and think more.

Seeing the outsider leave, Yuan Pei, who didn't disturb Fang Shanshui yesterday because he heard Fang Shanshui's breathing adjustment, immediately started to move, surrounded Fang Shanshui and asked excitedly: "Fang Fang, what happened to your cave and your space magic weapon? Did you make it?"

Fang Shanshui shook his head regretfully. Because something went wrong during the smelting process, the Tree God's Heart didn't fit him completely, which made it impossible for the Tree God's Heart to grow and mature quickly, and he couldn't smelt the Tree God's Heart. Turning into his own spatial magic weapon, he got stuck halfway without going up or down.

Now there are only two ways to successfully smelt the tree god's heart, one is to wait for his primordial spirit to stabilize, then re-smelt it; the other is to do more good deeds and collect golden light of merit.

The tree god's heart is originally a divine object, and the golden light of merit has a great effect on it. At the beginning, the tree god's heart was stimulated by the golden light of merit, and now it should be possible to use the golden light of merit to help the half-smelted tree god's heart mature .

Seeing Fang Shanshui shaking his head, Yuan Pei was surprised: "No success? How could it be?"

The big face of the house spirit wanted to appear from the wall, and he was a little frustrated: [Little master, did I not cooperate well at the time, which caused the problem?I can vaguely feel that I have an extra body, but it seems that the passage is blocked and I can't connect it. 】

The smelting failed, Zhai Ling was the most disappointed.

The heart of the tree god is a fetish. Once the house spirit becomes its weapon spirit, the house spirit will be freed from the shackles of the mortal body, just like a human being, changing the body of an ordinary person into the body of a fairy, and it is born from an ordinary house. , Changed to a fairy house cave, naturally it is not the same.

Fang Shanshui comforted Zhai Ling: "It's none of your business, it's my own problem. It will be fine, I'll think of a way."

Yuan Pei also said: "Yeah, Qingqing, Fang Fang is so powerful, there must be a way, failure is the mother of success, if you fail once, try again."

Zhai Ling felt relieved when he heard the comfort from the two, and smiled at them with his huge rectangular mouth.

For Zhai Ling, time doesn't mean much, as long as it succeeds, it doesn't matter whether it is sooner or later.

Yuan Pei suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Fang Fang, you have two exams tomorrow morning. If you go to Lincheng at night, can you come back in time?"

Fang Shanshui was taken aback, he hadn't been to school for the past two days, and he had forgotten about it: "What's the test tomorrow?"

Yuan Pei: "Your are Ma Zhe and modern history, remember to come back early."

"it is good."

Yuanpei and Zhai Ling go to play, while Fang Shanshui goes back to his room to do his own business.

Along the way, Fang Shanshui thought nonchalantly whether he should go to review or not. For the past six months of his studies, he had spent all his time on ancient characters. For other studies, what Yuan Pei arranged for him at the beginning would definitely not be selected. Fang Shanshui felt as if he hadn't attended a few classes, and the textbooks looked brand new...

Probably because he was a little absorbed in thinking, when he returned to the house, Fang Shanshui found that the figure master on his shoulder had disappeared.

Fang Shanshui took out his pockets, and the two bodies showed their heads, but the figure master was not there.

Fang Shanshui could feel that the figure master should be nearby, but he couldn't see it.

Fang Shanshui turned his head to look around, leaned on the window, and looked at the yard downstairs, wondering if the master just fell outside and didn't catch up, but after looking around, he still didn't see it.

Fang Shanshui rushed outside and shouted, "Master, where have you been?"

As soon as the words fell, Fang Shanshui suddenly felt his soul tremble, as if someone touched him, and that feeling was very familiar, it should be his master, but it was not touching him, but touching his soul.

Fang Shanshui sat down cross-legged immediately, closed his eyes and looked inside, and his eyes quickly sank to his soul.

As soon as Yuanshen opened his eyes, Fang Shanshui found himself sitting on the trunk of a big tree, surrounded by a vast expanse of whiteness, as if there was no sky or ground.

The tree under Fang Shanshui is a bit similar to the one in the old man's tree cave, but this one has not yet opened, the leaves are more delicate, and the crown is not too lush.

As soon as Fang Shanshui raised his head, he saw the giant figurine Master sitting on the side with his chin resting on his shoulders. It sat down in a slightly bent posture, which happened to be about the same height as the big tree under Fang Shanshui. Its crimson eyes were like light bulbs, piercing through the intertwined leaves. Looking at Fang Shanshui in the gap.

Fang Shanshui looked at the two pillar-like things in front of him. They were the fingers of the figurine master. They probably just heard him call, so they touched him with the skin of the back of their fingers. Fang Shanshui felt the soul shock just now , is caused by the soul being touched by the master's finger.

Fang Shanshui looked at the huge master occupying his sea of ​​consciousness, almost covering half of the sky above his head, and couldn't help feeling a little black.

Fang Shanshui: [Master, what are you sitting here? 】

The figurine master didn't speak, and stared at Fang Shanshui with crimson eyes.

Fang Shanshui realized in an instant that the master was still not at ease about his state of primordial spirit, so he wanted to observe closely, in case the half-smelted tree god's heart hurt him, so that it could detect and stop it in time.

Fang Shanshui was a little moved, and said to his master: [Master, don't worry, when I find the ancient books, these hidden dangers will be solved soon. 】

The figurine master nodded, and stretched his hand under Fang Shanshui's feet. Fang Shanshui was funny, stood up while holding the tree trunk, and stepped on the master's palm with a light jump. Completely upside down.

The figure master held Fang Shanshui in his palm, and pointed to the big tree below for Fang Shanshui to see. As Fang Shanshui raised his gaze, his vision also changed. Looking from top to bottom, Fang Shanshui took a full look at his sea of ​​consciousness. It may be because the smelting of the tree god's heart was not successful, and the sea of ​​consciousness and Fang Shanshui seemed different when they came last time. There was a vast sea of ​​clouds everywhere, and the sea of ​​clouds was occasionally mixed with a golden light. chaos

Looking around, there is only the big tree transformed by the heart of the tree god, as well as the master and him.

The countless root systems under the tree seem to have turned into tentacles, extending into the endless white mist around them, and are absorbing nutrients from it. A trace of golden light has been drawn from the white mist, and it has not yet fully grown. The completed Tree God's Heart, devouring this bit of gold thread, is also slowly recovering.

Fang Shanshui understood what the master meant. The master was telling him that the golden light of merit would also promote the heart of the tree god in his sea of ​​consciousness. He asked him to pay attention to collecting more golden light of merit and virtue so as not to cause too much pressure on his primordial spirit. .

This confirmed Fang Shanshui's guess about the tree god's heart just now.

Fang Shanshui nodded: [Master, I understand, then I will go out first, do you want to go with me? 】

The figurine master looked at the little apprentice looking up at him, shook his head and refused.

Fang Shanshui didn't continue to persuade, so he left by himself.

After Fang Shanshui's consciousness returned to his body, the primordial spirit he left in the sea of ​​consciousness was still there, but he closed his eyes, as if he was meditating and resting, or fell into a light sleep.

The figure master held the little apprentice in his hand and moved his face closer. Although he didn't dare to touch Fang Shanshui's primordial spirit, for fear of affecting Fang Shanshui as he did just now, his two red lantern-like eyes didn't blink at all. Looking at the apprentice in the palm of his hand.

... The appearance of the apprentice is really cute.

...I really want to swallow it in one gulp.

The figure master subconsciously opened his mouth, and the huge mouth could almost cover two Fang Shanshui at once, probably because he realized in time that he couldn't put the apprentice in his mouth, otherwise it would be bad if he swallowed it in his stomach.

The figured master's opened mouth closed again, and instead...

·

When Fang Shanshui's consciousness returned to his body, he suddenly felt his soul sway, as if he had been licked by some huge tongue, even when his consciousness returned to his body, there was still a feeling of saliva on his face...

Fang Shanshui shook his head, and after recovering his vision, he saw two host masters in his pocket, looking straight at him, as if he was checking the subject's whereabouts.

Probably knowing that the figurine master didn't come out, the two abbots quickly crawled out of Fang Shanshui's pocket as if there were no tigers in the mountains.

The two masters fluttered from left to right, one Peng Zhi floated onto Fang Shanshui's shoulder, rolled from Fang Shanshui's left shoulder to right shoulder for a while, then rolled from Fang Shanshui's right shoulder to left shoulder, and the other floated to Fang Shanshui's right shoulder. Occupy all the positions of the figure master.

The other Marquis Peng didn't want to compete with Peng Zhi for the place. He hugged Fang Shanshui's waist and rolled on Fang Shanshui's stomach, rolling from belly to waist, and from waist to back.

Fang Shanshui couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that the two host masters would have this style of painting when the figure master was not there.

Fang Shanshui shook his head, didn't say anything, but decided to go to the quiet room to meditate with the two masters on his shoulders, and continue to consecrate his Pixiu gourd.

As a result, Fang Shanshui just got up, and the two host masters seemed to know that he was going to work again, and they suddenly became very heavy as if they didn't want to play with them.

Fang Shanshui took two steps, and suddenly felt as if two mountains were pressing on his body, it was so heavy that he could hardly move his feet.

Fang Shanshui turned his head and looked over his shoulder. Peng Zhiji, who was exactly like his master, was lying on his shoulder, looking at him with crimson eyes, with an innocent face just like the figured master.

And Peng Hou Jishen, who had rolled from Fang Shanshui's back and back to his stomach, also spread out in large characters on Fang Shanshui's stomach, as if he was hanging on Fang Shanshui to prevent him from moving.

Fang Shanshui seemed to feel that there were two clingy fat cats weighing tens of kilograms, suppressing him up, down, left, and right.

"Master..." Fang Shanshui amusedly wanted to let the two masters play by themselves, but as soon as he uttered his voice, he saw Peng Zhijishen and Peng Houjishen making a booing gesture one after another, closing their mouths, as if we were To play the game quietly.

Fang Shanshui gave a silent ooh, showing an understanding request.

Looking at the appearance of the two Jishen masters, it seems that they are quite scrupulous about the appearance of the figure master. It looks pitiful, and the figure master usually suppresses the two Jishen a bit hard, and can only lie in the pocket every day.

Fang Shanshui shut up compromisingly, carried the two fat cats on his shoulders, and continued to move forward. When he reached the room where the spirit root fairy basket was placed, Fang Shanshui sat down cross-legged and put the Pixiu gourd in his palm. Master Jishen, who climbed down, began to recite scriptures and do exercises to consecrate the Pixiu gourd.

After being disturbed by the masters, Fang Shanshui once again forgot to review for the exam.

The figurine master is in the sea of ​​consciousness, looking at Fang Shanshui's primordial spirit. When Fang Shanshui started to move his spiritual roots and immortal energy, the figurine master suddenly blinked his ruby ​​eyes, as if he saw a slight change in Fang Shanshui's primordial spirit.

……

Fang Shanshui chanted scriptures all afternoon, and when he opened his eyes, the Pixiu gourd in his hand had been consecrated. The Pixiu itself was made of almost transparent glass. In a different way, the glass seed is no longer a glass seed, and there is an extra layer of clouds inside, as if it is circulating, making people unpredictable and unable to see the end at a glance.

The whole body of Pixiu is white, except for the two golden eyes, which have a vivid charm.

Fang Shanshui dragged the pixiu gourd in his palm and looked at it, feeling that something was missing.

Fang Shanshui thought about it, and decided to take Pai Yao out at night to collect the essence of moonlight, so that the yin and yang energy of the magic weapon could be harmonized, and the aura would be endless.

Peng Zhiji lay sideways on Fang Shanshui's left shoulder, his palm-sized body was like a beauty lying on his back, twisting his legs, holding his cheek in one hand and eating melon seeds in the other. Seeing Fang Shanshui woke up, he swallowed the melon seeds, waved his small hands and beat his disciples. He said hello, and then continued to eat new melon seeds.

After Fang Shanshui responded to his master, he stood up.

With this movement, Peng Hou, who was covered under the hem of his clothes at some point, immediately rolled down from Fang Shanshui's lower abdomen. Fang Shanshui caught it in time, picked up Peng Hou, and put it on his right shoulder.

Seeing this, Peng Zhi gave Peng Hou a contemptuous look.

Fang Shanshui left the two masters to play, found the address Tao Taiqing had left for him, and looked at it. Seeing that it was getting late, he lit incense and prepared to leave his body.

Seeing that Fang Shanshui was about to leave his body, Peng Zhi and Peng Hou were ready to move, as if they wanted to hang out together, but they also knew that the main body would come out soon, so they felt bored.

Sitting cross-legged in Fang Shanshui's sea of ​​consciousness, the figure master also got up and followed Fang Shanshui's body at the moment Fang Shanshui's primordial spirit came out of his body.

When it came out, the figurine master brought its little stone lion from nowhere, beckoning the little hands to invite the apprentice to sit with him, as if the master would give you a ride.

At the same time, the figurine master glared at his two bodyguards, as if warning them to be honest.

Peng Zhi and Peng Hou looked at the main body and the apprentice with their chins on one side, waved their little hands boredly, and watched the two of them off.

Fang Shanshui was funny, dragged the pixiu gourd in his hand and said, "Master, I'll take you this time."

Said, Fang Shanshui weighed the Pixiu gourd in his palm, and suddenly threw it out of the window.

The Pixiu Gourd paused under the moonlight outside the window, and stopped in the void outside the second floor.

Adjacent, soldier, fight, person, all, formation, column, front, row...

Fang Shanshui chanted the mantra silently, and made mantra handprints on the gourd. The small gourd suddenly trembled, and under Fang Shanshui's changing handprints, it became bigger and bigger, probably as big as a small boat. It's so big, but it's as big as a lynx, lying prone in front of the gourd, as if looking back at Fang Shanshui.

Fang Shanshui made a gesture of invitation to the figurine master. Seeing this, the figurine master happily accepted the disciple's filial piety, jumped onto the gourd, and threw the little stone lion in his hand to the two bosoms to play with.

Fang Shanshui waved his hand to bid farewell to the two host masters, moved out of the window with the wind, and floated cross-legged onto the gourd.

Under the moonlight, Pixiu, lying on the front of the gourd, seems to be opening his mouth, swallowing the essence of the moonlight that fell from the sky. The essence of the moonlight poured into its mouth, and its originally transparent body began to gradually become stained The blackness of the night sky seemed to put a layer of scales on its body, and in a blink of an eye, it looked much more powerful than the tender and white one just now.

Fang Shanshui nodded in satisfaction, and then shouted "get up", the gourd immediately carried Fang Shanshui as his master, cut through the night wind, and flew away in the void.

·

Tao Taiqing had already led the team back to Lincheng, and mobilized people from the police station to investigate with some information obtained from Fang Shanshui's summoning of the soul.

The news of Zhang Yuanwu's death had already been informed to Zhang Yuanwu's family. Although Zhang's family had expected it, they almost fainted from crying when they got the bad news.

The Gu family knew that the person who disappeared one step earlier than their daughter had also died, and it was also gloomy. If Master Yizhi hadn't said that their daughter should still be alive, they would have almost despaired.

Tao Taiqing had no way to comfort them, so he could only use actions to quickly solve the case, hoping to find the culprit and quickly solve this weird unsolved case.

Tao Taiqing asked his subordinates to go to the archives room, retrieve all the files of the person surnamed Ka who died in Lin Cheng, and slowly talk to Zhang Yuanwu and the others to see if anyone had contact with Zhang Yuanwu and the others.

People with the surname Ka are rare. Tao Taiqing even considered Zhang Yuanwu's father's generation. After calling out the death files for 20 years, he only found 13 people. They made do with it, and it felt like they couldn't reach the level of deep hatred.

"Team Tao, check all four of them, and there is no one named Kafeng around."

"It's not Kafon, it doesn't matter if there's any Kabang, Kayan, or Kafon."

The person who reported could not laugh or cry: "Team Tao, people with the surname Ka are not common at all, not to mention that there are not many people who died abnormally around the students, and it is such a special surname."

Suddenly someone asked a question: "Could it be someone with a registered permanent residence in another city?"

Tao Taiqing, who was looking through the file, was taken aback for a moment. It was really possible, but if it was true, it would be difficult.

Tao Taiqing flipped through the file with a headache, and didn't know it until he got off work. He looked at his watch and Fang Shanshui's agreed time was approaching, so he immediately picked up his clothes and said, "Xiao Li, go back and rest, and check tomorrow."

"Team Tao, I will go with you." Dong Gaoyuan threw away the file and followed.

Tao Taiqing went out with two subordinates to handle the case, and Xiao Li and others who were left in the file room also packed their things and went back.

Holding a pixiu gourd in his hand, Fang Shansai came to the address given by Tao Taiqing, found Gu's house, and was about to knock on the door when Tao Taiqing's voice came from behind: "Master Fang!"

Tao Taiqing, Dong Gaoyuan and the other three ran over panting.

It was a coincidence that they saw Fang Shanshui as soon as they parked the car.

Tao Taiqing stepped forward, squeezed Fang Shanshui's place to knock on the door and said, "I'll knock on the door. Gu Mengwen's father should be back now. I called him today. If he doesn't come back again, I will use it as an obstacle to handling the case. Send him to detention for a few days."

"Kang, kuang, kuang!" Tao Taiqing knocked hard, it didn't look like the police came to the door at all, but rather like a debt collector.

Fang Shanshui was a little surprised. He hadn't asked about the situation of Gu Mengwen's family before. Judging from Tao Taiqing's meaning, there seemed to be some problems.

Dong Gaoyuan saw that Fang Shanshui was puzzled, and Fang Shanshui said: "Master Fang, the Gu family and his wife are going through divorce. Gu Mengwen's father often doesn't come back these days, and he doesn't care about his daughter's disappearance. When he is at home, he always likes to pretend he doesn't hear us when we come. Gu Mengwen's mother is in the hospital, and Gu Mengwen's three-year-old brother has been hospitalized with a high fever and has been there for several days, and he cannot leave him alone."

Tao Taiqing knocked and shouted: "Mr. Gu, Lincheng Public Security Bureau handles the case, please cooperate, I know you are here."

——"Here we come! . . . It's really urgent, what kind of policeman does he look like, he's completely a bandit!"

——"Hee hee, go quickly, I'm here to help you find your daughter."

——"These people are meddlesome, you put on your clothes first."

Fang Shanshui heard the unprincipled teasing laughter from across the door. A man and a woman suddenly looked weird. Just now Dong Gaoyuan said that Gu Mengwen's mother was watching her sick brother in the hospital. The female voice in the room, Of course it couldn't be Gu Mengwen's mother.
