After Xie Yingzhou wrote a casually worded resignation letter, she never went to work at the court, but Yingda, who was supposed to ask Xie Yingzhou for details, just intercepted the letter and went about her own business, often without seeing her for several days. No one came out to say that Xie Yingzhou had been fired, which made Tang Yu who helped deliver the letter very confused.

Although she has a dull personality, she is not a fool. She always feels that the people around her are full of a tacit, see-through atmosphere.

Not only Ying Da, Ye Wujian, but also Jiang Yu, Su Yao and so on.

It's just that she searched and thought, but she couldn't find an opportunity to puncture this atmosphere, because she didn't understand the reason for this atmosphere.

She only knew that all of this happened after Xie Yingzhou revealed her true form.

Now Tang Yu already knew that Wu Ying's real name was Xie Yingzhou. Although the real person was indeed beautiful, she was not a wanted criminal, but she didn't know why she had to disguise herself? (Tang Yu didn't realize that Xie Yingzhou was the "Yin's running dog" who met once in Cicada Lin)

However, for the past two weeks, Xie Yingzhou has always stayed at home, and she looks no different from usual, but because she has too much free time, she is not a person who can take it easy, so she made a lot of interesting things.

Although there is nothing wrong with it, and those things are fun, but Tang Yu always feels that Xie Yingzhou is in an inexplicable depression.

She also thought about releasing Xie Yingzhou, but the latter's mind was much more flexible than her own, she didn't want to say it, and she didn't know how to pry open her heart and comfort her.

This made Tang Yu also feel a little frustrated. He was clearly a friend, but he couldn't do anything... and asked her to make delicious lunch boxes for herself every day.

In the military patrol shop, Tang Yu was thinking about Xie Yingzhou's affairs while eating the luxurious lunch box Xie Yingzhou made for her.

"Ah Yu, there is something going on in Xikang Street nearby, let's go and have a look." Jiang Chenbi walked in from the outside, saw Tang Yu was eating lunch, and answered, "Wait until you finish eating."

"Yeah." Tang Yu picked up the lunch box and ate up the rest of the food in one go, very boldly.

Jiang Chenbi lowered her head and pretended to adjust her copper leather belt, but her eyes secretly looked at Tang Yu, and a smile could not help but float on the corner of her mouth.

After finishing the lunch box quickly, Tang Yu covered the empty box and put it in the small cloth bag that she carried with her, ready to take it home after get off work.

"What's the matter?" After tidying up quickly, Tang Yu and Jiang Chenbi went out together.

"Someone is selling this kind of thing." Jiang Chenbi handed a white, finger-long note to Tang Yu.

The latter took it, and saw that there were some rare patterns drawn on it, different from the line characters used by Qin Zhen's cultivators, and strange stars and moons painted on this piece of paper.

The most obvious of these is the drawing of a cross and three words: Amulet of absolution.

"Nestorian stuff?" Tang Yu raised his eyebrows, looked back and forth, and found that it was covered with a very faint layer of special aura, which gave the paper a special texture.

"Yes, these absolution talismans were sold to believers by several temples in Zhenyang three months ago."

"There is aura on it, but it's almost harmless, and it's fine to use as an ordinary amulet." Tang Yu said her observation results about the "forgiveness talisman" in her hand.

"The talismans seem to be fine, but recently dozens of Nestorian believers in the city who were holding such talismans died suddenly at home."

"Dozens? Sudden death?" Tang Yu repeated these words in disbelief.

"Yes, I just found out that they lived in different parts of the city, but died suddenly. There is a family at Xikang's house, and I want you to go and see it together." Jiang Chenbi sighed, "I know you I often travel around the rivers and lakes, and I have a better understanding of these things, what are these absolution talismans, do you know?"

"This kind of forgiveness talisman has always existed. It was introduced by Nestorianism from the Ottoman country in the west." Tang Yu handed the forgiveness talisman back to Jiang Chenbi. Good thing, after death, you will go to a place called Purgatory, and the absolution talisman can save the audience from the punishment of purgatory, look at the strange characters on the paper, it is Ottoman, meaning: sins have been forgiven."

Since Tang Yu left her hometown, she has been in the Jianghu all the time, so she has a much clearer understanding of various religions and streams than many people.

Jiang Chenbi frowned slightly, and looked down at the characters composed of various curves on the absolution talisman, "Not to mention whether a person is born with a sin, how can the forgiveness of sins be sold? It's just a tool for making money."

"The story here is interesting, I'll tell you when I have time." Because she has a job now, Tang Yu didn't want to show off irrelevant knowledge, so she just changed the question and asked, "Who are the dozen or so Nestorian believers who died suddenly?" what's the situation?"

"All those who die suddenly are immortal cultivators. If there is no immortal cultivator in the family, it will be fine..."

The two hurried on their way while talking, and soon arrived at a family in the nearby Xikang Street.

People in Zhenyang seem to like to plant flowers and trees in their yards. The two of them walked along the way, and the shadows of flowers swayed on the stone slabs on the street, fragrant and fragrant, like a springtime scene.

The family also planted a rather tall wisteria tree in the courtyard, but now it's blooming, only a few flower buds are hanging down, and most of them are some tender green shoots and leaves, but they are also very lush.

But the scene of the family at this time is not as bright and splendid as these scenes.

Because the cold corpses of the family's master, mistress, and eldest son were neatly placed under the wisteria tree, there were no injuries on their bodies, but they had died.

When Tang Yu and Jiang Chenbi arrived, several yamen policemen were checking whether the water and food in the house had been poisoned, but the family's 8- or 9-year-old daughter was kneeling not far away, facing west, with her arms crossed Put it on your chest, muttering words, not knowing what to pray for.

Jiang Chenbi went into the room to inquire about the results of the examination, while Tang Yu went to look at the corpses, but focused on the girl who was praying, and saw that she was holding a sin-forgiveness talisman tightly in her hand, whispering without stopping thinking:

"My father Jingshen, please enlighten me, please save me, please grant me peace, make me calm in body and mind, and have more strength, let me resist sin and walk in the truth."

......

Tang Yu listened for a while, then silently shifted her attention back to the corpse on the ground. She focused her spiritual energy on her eyes, checked and repeated several times, only to find that there was a small " Cross" pattern.

This seems to be a mark, with a faint aura on it, but there is no clue.

Just thinking about whether he could use some secret method to see if the cross mark on the body of the deceased had other connections, Tang Yu suddenly saw a cross mark appear on the side of his middle finger at some point!

Startled for a moment, Tang Yu didn't panic, she got up and walked to the girl who was still praying, took her left wrist, and under the girl's flustered gaze, she held her fingers without refusal, but she didn't see anyone cross pattern.

"You haven't cultivated aura before?" Tang Yu let go of the girl's hand and asked in a deep voice. After shaking hands just now, she found that the girl in front of her had no foundation in aura.

"Father said that he would teach me how to practice after I was 10 years old."

"Weimundu?" Hearing this very uncommon word, Tang Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.

"That's right, in the name of Sanwei (Note 2) I poured water on my head three times..."

Tang Yu nodded, knowing that Nestorian believers do have this aspect of etiquette.

"Where did you buy the pardon talisman in your hand?"

"Yes, in the Zhenchangjing Temple in the east of the city, we will go there every Sunday." The girl stammered, obviously frightened by the unsmiling and sharp-edged elder sister in front of her.

"Sunday..." Tang Yu repeated these three words, but she was not asking the girl, because she knew that this was a special Nestorian calendar method for distinguishing dates. Seven days is Sunday, and it is the day when Jingzhong goes to Jingsi to pray.

"What's the name of the Jingshi in white who sold you the pardon talisman?"

"I don't know. Dad bought it. He said that the holy son Mishiha has come..."

"Who is it? Who is Mi Shihe referring to?" Tang Yu raised her eyebrows, she knew that Mi Shihe also meant a savior in the Nestorian teachings.

"Daddy said it was the man in the newspaper."

Sure enough, it was Adam Campbell, the Jingshen Box...

"Did you find anything?" Jiang Chenbi came out of the house, saw Tang Yu chatting with the deceased's daughter, and walked over, "We didn't find anything abnormal in the house, what about your side?"

"There are some, show me your left hand."

Jiang Chenbi strangely handed his left hand to Tang Yu, who looked at the side of his left hand, but did not see any cross marks, which made Tang Yu look at his right hand again.

"What's wrong? Eh, what is this?" Jiang Chenbi saw a small cross mark on the side of his right middle finger.

"Did you get the pardon talisman and check it with spiritual energy?"

"Naturally."

"Then I probably know," Tang Yu sighed, "These pardon talismans..."

"Wait." Jiang Chenbi raised his hand to signal her to stop first, and then let the ordinary yamen police take the deceased's daughter to settle it.

Tang Yu followed the good example, walked out of the family's house alone, looked back at their gate, and saw a strange pattern drawn on the gate, it was a lotus flower with a cross growing out of it, and there were some flames spitting out around it. clouds.

"Okay, the arrangements are made. I don't know if there is something wrong with the girl. Her relatives have passed away, but she didn't even cry, she was just praying..." Jiang Chenbi said with a little dissatisfaction.

"In the eyes of these people, because of the forgiveness talisman, these dead relatives have gone to the Kingdom of God, so there is nothing to be sad about."

"It's unreasonable... By the way, what's wrong with the pardon talisman? I just saw it by the way. There is indeed a cross mark on the middle finger of the deceased's left hand."

"I think it should be a certain mark. Anyone who uses aura to check it will be marked in reverse, and the aura in it is so small that people can't detect it..." At this point, Tang Yu raised his left hand, Signaled Jiang Chenbi to look.

And the latter also saw that there was also a small cross pattern on the side of her left middle finger.

"This this......"

"This shows that we may also think of those audiences who died suddenly."

"Let's go to the Curse Breaker of the Forensic Court."

Detectives of the Forensic Court are often exposed to various strange aura investigations, and may also be cursed, so there are naturally some immortal cultivators in the headquarters who can lift these curses.

"...You go, I have to go home first." Tang Yu thought that she might be able to use this opportunity to cheer up Xie Yingzhou who should be carving mahjong at this time.

"How can this be delayed?" Seeing that Tang Yu was so indifferent to her own life, Jiang Chenbi wanted to stomp her feet anxiously.

"I want to go home and ask Ah Ying first." Tang Yu ignored Jiang Chenbi's anxiety, turned around and prepared to leave.

The latter hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and followed.
