Chapter 293 Waiting for the rabbit
In a house in a corner of the capital, a tall and thin middle-aged Taoist was pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
"I told you not to be so hasty!
"Making such a big fuss will attract other people's attention sooner or later!
"What should I do now..."
The tall and thin Taoist muttered to himself, but in a very low voice.
Everyone knows that walls have ears, but people like him, who are also monks, have to be more careful.
Even though he knew that his room was surrounded by empty rooms, no one lived there, but the capital had always been home to many goblins and ghosts, and there were often "foxes" living with people and roaming around, coming and going in other people's homes, just like people going out for fun in the spring. So he had to be wary not only of people, but also of these "foxes".
However, anxiety still prevailed at this time.
"Master Fan...
"Master Lin..."
The tall and thin Taoist didn't know what abilities Master Lin had. He only knew that he had killed the Alligator Dragon King by the Wei River and easily subdued two powerful stone horses on the street.
He is one of the three demon kings in Qinzhou.
And that Master Fan is even more amazing.
If we were to describe it in detail, no one could explain it, not even a single sentence. But if we were to describe it in general terms, it cannot be explained in just a few words.
Maybe it’s because the gap is too big.
It is a high mountain, and mortals are destined to only be able to view it from afar; if you look closely, you will see nothing but grass, trees, mud and rocks.
Master Fan never cared about these things before!
Fan Tianshi was so powerful that only big monsters would cause troubles, like the crocodile king last year. Even if officials from the Ministry of Rites came to him to ask for help, he would never help. He would just write a letter and ask them to find other monsters and gods, and give the credit to them.
The reason why the tall and thin Taoist dared to do such a thing in the capital was that he was sure that such small things would not be in the eyes of the great god. And there were many big and small things that harmed people in the capital, and he was not the only one.
Now it must be because I was too anxious some time ago, and I actually alarmed Master Lin and Master Fan.
These two said they wanted to find themselves.
Although the tall and thin Taoist didn't know what method they were going to use, he was very panicked.
"What can be done?"
Those women didn't become ghosts. Could it be that their souls had not yet dispersed completely? Could Master Lin and Master Fan still summon their souls back?
Could it be the scars on their bodies? Could Master Lin and Master Fan use them to find me?
Or……
Have I ever been careless and dropped a bit of skin or a hair on those women, and have they had the magic to find me through these things?
Or did you accidentally drop something there?
The tall and thin Taoist paced back and forth, feeling extremely uneasy.
There are too many spells in the world, ever-changing and mysterious. Not to mention that magic has declined nowadays, even when the spiritual magic school was at its peak, no one would dare to say that he was familiar with all the magic in the world - that fairy in the forest was still collecting spells until he reached the fifth stage of decline, let alone others?
The tall and thin Taoist could only think about it through various folk rumors and strange stories. Even though these rumors and stories have always been more fabricated than real records, he could not care less.
If I abandon my wealth and flee the capital at this moment, can I escape the clutches of Master Lin and Master Fan?
"No, no, no..."
Even if I could escape from the capital, Master Fan had the ability to command the gods. As long as they knew it was me, it would be useless even if I escaped to the ends of the earth.
It’s better to hide with a noble person.
But he was afraid to hide with the nobleman, for he was afraid that the nobleman was also afraid of the name of Master Fan and would simply go all out and kill him.
It would be better to escape from the capital!
The tall and thin Taoist wanted to burn the morgue before Master Lin and Master Fan went to the government office to check the bodies, or to go and see if he had missed anything. But he was afraid that there would be a large group of policemen waiting there, or that the policemen would be waiting for him. But if he went to check on the same day, he was afraid that he would be caught on the spot.
My mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, and the more I thought, the more confused I became. I even became so upset that I felt like everything was going to end.
"wrong!
“They may not be able to find me yet!
"..."
The tall and thin Taoist thought for a long time, but still felt uneasy.
Finally, he decided to make more preparations.
First, inform the nobleman and ask him to send someone to the morgue of the yamen to deal with the bodies of those women. This is the most convenient thing for the nobleman to do.
Then he left the city to avoid the spotlight.
If you fail to dispose of the bodies of those women, or if you feel it is risky and are unwilling to do so, then Master Lin and Master Fan will check the bodies tomorrow.
Although he really wanted to go to the scene to see what was going on, his reason forced him to suppress his inner thoughts and he only let his apprentice go and see so that he could report the situation to him.
When the limelight passes, I will come back by myself.
If you can't get through it, there is always a glimmer of hope.
……
"How is Fellow Daoist Wan's recovery going?"
"Thanks to the real person, I have recovered."
"Mr. Luo has already set up a trap, and we are just waiting for him to fall into the trap. If Fellow Daoist Wan recovers, you can come with us to seek revenge on him." Lin Jue said to him, "This man must have an unusual background, and he is hiding very deeply. If he doesn't fall into the trap this time, we won't be able to catch him."
"Really?" Wan Xinrong immediately became excited, "Of course I am willing!"
"Then follow Mr. Luo's arrangements."
Everyone's eyes turned to Luo Seng.
"I already have a few suspects. One of them is the most suspicious. I have asked a few martial artists to monitor him. After I have arranged for you, I will come back to watch him. The others will also be watched by martial artists."
Luo Seng sat on a chair, leaning back, with a talisman on his left eye:
"The morgue of the government office must be watched by someone, but it cannot be too conspicuous. I have hidden the sub-talisman of the eye talisman there. If you want to guard the morgue of the government office, you don't have to be in the morgue, you can just stay in the nearby inn."
"Leave it to Fellow Daoist Wan." Lin Jue said, "There won't be any big fights in the city, Fellow Daoist Wan just needs to be more perceptive."
"no problem!"
Wan Xinrong even dared to go to Fengshan, so he agreed to this without hesitation.
"If we can't find the person, we can check the body tomorrow as usual. Master Fan can come forward, and I will accompany him." Luo Seng said, "If there is someone with a guilty conscience who dares to come to the scene, unless that person has a very deep mind, I can tell at a glance if he is a little panicked." "What about us?" Lin Jue asked.
"There are two more places outside the city where two women are no longer in the morgue. They are buried there. I think we can go and guard them." Luo Seng said, "Maybe he will go there to check first."
"Then I, Fuyao and my junior sister will guard it respectively." Lin Jue said, looking at his junior sister and Fuyao.
"it is good!"
The junior sister agreed.
"Hey!"
The fox scratched its head with its hind legs and responded.
Luo Seng then took off the eye charm and handed it to Wan Xinrong.
He then took out two ear charms from his bosom and handed them to the junior sister.
"The one that is folded into a square is the mother talisman, and the one that is folded into a triangle is the son talisman. Hide the son talisman carefully and stick the mother talisman to your ear. Whatever the son talisman hears, the mother talisman will also hear. The same goes for the eye talisman."
Wan Xinrong took it solemnly.
The junior sister took the ear charm and put it to her ear curiously, but heard nothing.
My legs are a little itchy.
Looking down, she saw Fuyao carefully scratching herself, so she put it close to Fuyao's ear and let it listen to the air as well.
Wan Xinrong also followed their example and stuck the eye charm on his left eye. Immediately, his eyes blurred and a dark morgue came into view, with no one in it.
After a while, several people dispersed.
……
In the barren mountains outside the city, Luo Seng sent Lin Jue, his junior sister, and Fu Yao to a cemetery.
It's a small grave without even a tombstone.
Luo Seng pointed to this grave and said, "The lady of this grave was named Zhang. She was going to get married soon. Now that she is buried here, I'm afraid her body will be eaten up."
"Junior sister and Fuyao will stay here. Junior sister can turn into stone. Stay away and use the ear charms. Fuyao can hide underground." Lin Jue said, "If you two are together, I don't think there are many people in the capital who can defeat you, except for the gods."
"it is good!"
"Boo!"
"I'll go to the other side."
Lin Jue and Luo Gong turned and walked away.
After a while, they arrived in front of another larger tomb.
Luo Gong pointed and said, "This is the concubine of a county magistrate in the city. She is very much loved by the county magistrate, so he built this beautiful tomb for her."
Lin Jue looked left and right.
Soon I saw a tree.
The tree was thicker than a bowl, so it should not be able to hide a person. However, Lin Jue's attainment in the wood escape technique had improved significantly. When he hid himself in a tree, it was no longer necessary for the tree to be wider and thicker than a person.
Lin Jue walked to the tree, took a step forward, and entered the tree.
Only then did Mr. Luo leave.
Before I knew it, I had been waiting from morning to noon, and then to afternoon.
As night falls, the wilderness becomes silent.
Wait until late at night, and then early in the morning.
Around dawn, a tall and thin Taoist walked hesitantly on the road, looking left and right.
The tall and thin Taoist had a package hanging around his waist, which contained all his luggage. He had originally decided to leave the city to hide, but after leaving the city, he walked in this direction. Although it was not completely on the way, he still couldn't help but want to take a look - the murderer did have this habit, and he had visited this grave before.
This fact is really meaningless.
What can I do? My heart is itching.
Now he also wanted to confirm whether he would leave any omissions, whether any of his magic power was left on those wounds, and whether those women would be so resentful that even if their souls dissipated, the remaining souls and obsessions would still remain beside their bodies.
Of course he couldn't go to the morgue. Tomorrow Master Lin and Tianshi Fan would perform autopsies, so he didn't dare go. But he couldn't leave the grave in the wilderness and not take a look.
Actually, it’s just for peace of mind.
There's nothing wrong with coming, but I always want to come.
So he waited by the roadside until late at night, and then until almost dawn, before he slowly walked over.
The tall and thin Taoist was very careful. He walked around the place several times with the faint light from the sky, observing from different angles. Only after he made sure that there was no one here did he walk here.
He stopped in front of the tomb and continued to look left and right.
"Wherever the power of the law goes, the earth will open up."
The tall and thin Taoist chanted a spell in a low voice.
There was a loud rumbling sound——
The tomb that had been built with great care suddenly cracked, barely enough for a thin person to squeeze in sideways.
The tall and thin Taoist had limited magical powers, so he had to recite another sentence to open the opening wider.
But he didn't notice that a figure appeared on his left side at some point.
