Chapter 678 Dead
Moreover, Chu Xian also heard from the shopkeeper that he hadn't seen the person selling calligraphy recently, and thought that the other person didn't make a living by writing.

Chu Xian went to the address given by the shopkeeper, and Qi Chengxiang followed. The road made many twists and turns, and arrived at a very remote urban area in Jingzhou.

There are all alleys here, and they are extremely deep and winding. There are many houses inside, and I don't know how many families live there.

"My lord, we're here." Qi Chengxiang walked ahead at this time and found the house the shopkeeper mentioned. Chu Xian nodded, and went over to see that the door was closed with a brass lock on it, and there seemed to be no one there.

Turning his head and glanced at Qi Chengxiang, the latter had already jumped into the courtyard, after a while, Qi Chengxiang flew out and said: "My lord, there is no one inside, and it seems that the people in the room haven't come back for a long time, but I see There is no lack of things at home, clothes are in the cabinet, and there are some silver taels, it doesn't look like a long trip."

After following Chu Xian for a long time, Qi Chengxiang's observation ability has also improved a lot. In the general city, Qi Chengxiang can be regarded as a detective.

Hearing Qi Chengxiang's description, Chu Xian frowned, and immediately knocked on the door of the neighbor's resident to ask about the family's situation. After asking, he found out that the poor scholar lived here, and the poor scholar was not too young. , apart from being able to write, I can’t do anything. I live a very tight life, but I’m still hungry. I go out on weekdays, but I’ll definitely come back in two or three days at most. But this time, I went out more than a month ago and never came back. .

"Maybe, it's time to go back to my hometown in the countryside." The neighbor said.

Chu Xian thanked her, but didn't say much.

Afterwards, Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang went into the house to check, and it was exactly as Qi Chengxiang said, and Chu Xian also found some clues in the study in this house.

Someone has been here and taken a lot of things.

Most people can't see it, but Chu Xian can.

For a person who sells calligraphy for a living, the most things here are all kinds of copying calligraphy of masters. At a glance, there are many copying works of calligraphy masters, but there is no calligraphy of Taizong Shengzu.

But the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop clearly said that the best writing of this person is the calligraphy of the holy ancestor. So, how could there be no one in the room?

Then there is only one possibility, the word of the ancestor here has been taken away.

Who took it?

Chu Xian looked around, the person who lives here is a master at making false characters, the imitations in the study, even if viewed from Chu Xian's eyes, are exactly the same as the real ones, they have both form and spirit, you can't pick them out Something is wrong.

Then if this person writes the words of Taizong's ancestor, I'm afraid it will be the same.

To be honest, no one will think that these words are imitations if they are taken out, because they are too real, even if they are taken to the Shoufu Pavilion and tasted by many immortal officials, they will not be able to find any faults.

Chu Xian is also well-informed, but he has never seen someone who imitates other people's fonts so similarly.

"Pity!"

Chu Xian was muttering to himself at this time, Qi Chengxiang was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what's the pity?"

Chu Xian shook his head, got up and walked out, but at this moment, Chu Xian noticed that the wooden table in the study was a bit too thick.

Out of curiosity, I raised my hand to grab it, but felt that it was too light, so there was only one possibility, the wooden table was hollow.

At that moment Chu Xian turned the wooden table over, and sure enough, he found a gap under the wooden table, reached out and pressed it, and a hidden compartment appeared on the table.

Chu Xian cheered up and checked carefully. There were actually thousands of taels of silver bills in the secret compartment. It was unimaginable that such a huge sum of money would be found in such a poor house. With so much money, why live here?
In addition to the bank notes, there were also some calligraphy and paintings. Chu Xian opened one, and his pupils shrank immediately.

This is a pair of Linjiang Chunshui poems, which are quite famous poems written by the emperor Taizong.

But the one in front of me is exactly the same as the original one in the Treasure Pavilion, no matter where I can find fault with it, if Chu Xian is not very clear, if this authentic one can't appear here, I will definitely believe it This is true.

"found it."

Chu Xian was very excited.

To be honest, Chu Xian's obsession with calligraphy is one of the best in the world, but if Chu Xian is to imitate the calligraphy of the holy ancestor, he will definitely not be able to achieve this level.

But if Chu Xian can't do it, it doesn't mean that others can't do it. The world is so big, there are always some capable people who are good at various fields. Sometimes, ordinary people can do things that Taoist immortals may not be able to do. .

Just like the words of the holy ancestors, there have been many imitators in the past thousands of years, but no matter how similar the imitation is, there are always some flaws that can be seen by others.

It was because of this that no one would suspect that it was fake.

Because no one believed that someone could write the same characters as the holy ancestor.

But now, this impossible thing is in the hands of Chu Xian. Chu Xian knows that he has found the right one. In this world, there may be only such a person who can imitate the words of the holy ancestor to the exact same extent. That's the proof.

Putting the things away carefully, Chu Xian searched again, but didn't find anything, so he left with Qi Chengxiang.

This time, Chu Xian returned to the mansion and asked Qi Chengxiang to do one thing in secret, which was to go to the state capital and read the Jingzhou criminal case classics in the last month.

After half a day, Qi Chengxiang came back and handed a dossier to Chu Xian.

Chu Xian opened it, and it said that a month ago, an unknown male corpse was found in the river in the city. His appearance was destroyed and his identity was unknown.

And it was marked on it that the victim should have been killed.

Killing people and destroying souls is so vicious that ordinary people can't use it. After all, killing people is easy but destroying souls is difficult. How can ordinary people do this?

Qi Chengxiang is not stupid, Chu Xian asked him to check this, he probably already guessed some clues.

"My lord, could it be this corpse..." Qi Chengxiang asked cautiously, and Chu Xian nodded: "Yes, if there is no accident, this corpse is the person who copied calligraphy. It's a pity that he was murdered long ago."

When the body is dead and the soul is destroyed, even if Chu Xian has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to find the person who has lost his soul and ask him again, so this line is considered to be broken.

But Chu Xian's harvest is quite huge.

Based on the clues discovered so far, it further proves the fact that the holy patriarch's edict was forged.

Chu Xian can even be sure that Li Qianlong is behind the killing and silence. This person is really cruel and considerate. At the same time as the emperor, silence the opponent.

In this way, it will be impossible for anyone to find out the truth.

But he didn't expect that the person he sent out to work was negligent and didn't notice that there was a hidden compartment in the middle of the desk, which allowed Chu Xian to find crucial evidence.

"Qi Daochang, don't tell anyone about this." Chu Xian said at this moment, and Qi Chengxiang nodded. In this regard, Chu Xian still trusts Qi Chengxiang, otherwise he would not take Qi Chengxiang alone.

The font thing is considered to have found the answer, and the next step is the holy ancestor immortal seal.

Because of the holy ancestor's edict, the holy ancestor's handwriting alone is not enough to produce a powerful effect. What is really powerful is the holy ancestor's immortal seal on it.

This thing is a hundred times more difficult than counterfeiting fonts. After all, if there are only the characters of the ancestors, it is impossible for the Shoufu Pavilion to accept the account, but with the seal of the ancestors, it will be different.

Words plus immortal seals are the most complete insurance, and it is also the case that Li Qianlong can succeed in enthroning.

Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for something like a fairy seal to be forged. real?
Don't ask, it's also fake.

But the question is, how did Li Qianlong falsify the fairy seal?
Chu Xian couldn't figure it out.

Regarding this point, Chu Xian is really at a loss. After all, although the Immortal Seal is a seal, it is not stamped with a seal. If it is an ordinary seal, it is easy to fake it. The fake seals in Xitangkou are caught. Well, something like the Immortal Seal is a mark condensed with Immortal Qi, and the reason why it is impossible to fake it is because the Immortal Qi is unique to each person, and the Immortal Qi of the Holy Ancestor is absolutely unique. Only the Holy Ancestor has it, so how can the Immortal Seal of the Holy Ancestor be faked, only the Holy Ancestor can engrave it on it.

Chu Xian can only forcefully assume that the Saint Ancestor Immortal Seal is fake, and look for possibilities based on this assumption.

The same method was used for the ancestor's handwriting before, so this time, it seems that this is an impossible question to find the answer to, but Chu Xian feels that he can definitely find the truth and the answer.

Of course, Chu Xian has already confirmed that there is something wrong with the four painting saints, and Chu Xian has secretly arranged for Ji Wen to deploy the most elite and most trustworthy internal guards of the Dongzhu Division to secretly investigate the four painting saints. Let's see if we can find some clues.

In addition, Chu Xian began to study the technique of immortal seal.

Although Chu Xian has already practiced the technique of the Immortal Seal at the official level of Chu Xian, but in order to explore the mystery of the Immortal Seal, Chu Xian still needs to further improve the technique of the Immortal Seal.

After a few days of study, and even consulting several immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion, Chu Xian discovered that although the Immortal Seal Technique was not a profound technique, it was absolutely impossible to fake it.

For this reason, Cui Huanzhi and Xiao Yu both told Chu Xian that the Immortal Seal is unique, and has never been imitated since its birth, and there is no possibility of imitation.

Obviously, if it is this conclusion, it is contrary to Chu Xian's previous discovery. The scholar who was good at imitating the script of the ancestor should have been silenced. Chu Xian still has the poems of the ancestor who imitated the ancestor. There is no difference, this is the evidence.

Moreover, Chu Xian is good at investigating cases and chasing murderers. The file he asked Qi Chengxiang to bring back contained a corpse book. After studying the records of the corpse book, judging from some traces on the nameless corpse, it can be concluded that it is the scholar who copied the script of the holy ancestor.

As the number one detective of the Holy Dynasty, if he couldn't see this point, then Chu Xian wouldn't be Chu Xian.

With these prerequisites, Chu Xian knew that there was definitely something wrong with the seemingly invulnerable immortal seal.
