Without a heroic spirit, I can only end in person

Chapter 196 Water God Falls
In the eyes of Li Painter and Chen Xianglan, after Gu Shi decided to live in Yinjiang City for a period of time, there was no one there, and he didn't know where he went.

In fact, Jiang He used ink as a medium to write a boat and turned into a fisherman, fishing on the river all day long.

On this day, he noticed a little sneaky aura, and immediately stepped on the water to find it.

It's a pity, after all, it was half a step too late. When they reached the riverside, a commoner had already been killed and his body sank in the river.

On the other hand, the washerwoman held a Dao sword magical weapon, and with the help of its power to restrain the sneakiness, she fought back and forth with the evil spirit, and even injured the evil spirit a bit.

Painter Li on the side was stunned, lying in the splashed muddy water, and even forgot to get up.

Jiang He originally planned to fight back the evil spirits, but seeing this situation, he changed his mind and did not show up.

The fight between the washerwoman and the evil spirit did not last long.

The evil ghost was restrained by the Dao sword, and was frustrated again and again. He gave up his plan to attack and kill the washerwoman, and jumped back into the river directly after the blow.

Seeing that the evil spirit was about to escape, the washerwoman also held the Dao sword and jumped into the river together without hesitation.

"do not want!"

Painter Li yelled and hurriedly got up.

Water ghosts will only become more ferocious in the river, but once a person falls into the water, their strength will only be greatly reduced.

Even if the washerwoman can suppress the evil spirits on the shore, it is not necessarily the case when she enters the water.

But Painter Li knows that he is just an ordinary person, even if he jumps into the water, it will not help the battle...

He stood by the river, looking at the river water stained with blood.

As if returning to the day when Yunniang died, he could only stand helplessly outside the delivery room, listening to the wailing inside, but it didn't help at all.

Just when he hated his own powerlessness.

But the river was surging, and the figure of the woman climbed back to the bank carrying a heavy object, leaving behind the disembowelled corpse.

Blood was flowing all over her body, she opened her mouth, and fell to the ground with a plop.

[The laundry girl entered the river to hunt down the evil spirits, and you also jumped into the river. 】

【But seeing the evil spirit trying to take away the dead body, after being stopped by the washerwoman, he turned around and ran away without any regrets. 】

【The evil ghost swims incomparably swiftly, and the washerwoman can't catch up with her, so she has to return with her body, losing her strength and falling into a coma. 】

【You turn into a fish swimming in the middle of the river, and follow closely behind. 】

[The evil ghost sneaked far away, and didn't notice that anyone was following him, so he borrowed the power of Jiangshen to sweep away the traces and disappeared. 】

【You observe for a long time, and you can see a little trace of divine power, so you don't continue to follow, and leave quietly. 】

[Returning to the river, the washerwoman has already woken up, and the soldiers patrolling the river have also returned from exterminating ghosts. 】

[The drowned ghouls are displayed by the river, and the onlookers are grateful to praise, but the washerwoman leaves without saying a word, holding the sword with Master Li. 】

When Jiang He saw the washerwoman's eyes, he knew that she would never stop there.

Just like a few years ago, when her husband was killed and the government killed the wrong murderer, she didn't get depressed because of it, but got a ghost-slaying magic weapon from the Taoist temple...

Next, after she recuperates from her injuries, she will definitely continue to practice swords, wandering on the banks of the river, waiting for the opportunity to kill her enemies.

"How tenacious the heart is."

After Jiang He praised him, he didn't follow.

Instead, he went straight to the government office and found the Yinjiang city official.

Seeing Jiang He's expression, the Yinjiang city official sensed his intention, invited him to the uninhabited house in the Houfu, and set up a method to silence the sound, and then asked.

"Any clues?"

The Yinjiang city official was surprised.

From the last conversation to now, in less than half a month, Brother Gu has already solved the mystery that has plagued Yinjiang City for nearly a thousand years?

This is too bizarre.

Jiang He saw the surprise of the Yinjiang city official, and said.

"You told about the Yinjiang incident, which caused a stir in the Dizhou. A Taoist true cultivator was invited to check Fengshui and patrol the river. It took two or three years, but no trace was found?"

"Yes, that's the master of the Zhenyi Temple, a sixth-level true cultivator, a true master of Taoism!"

This is also where the Yinjiang city officials were surprised.

Although he admired Brother Gu's mind and insight, the matter of cultivation has nothing to do with liking or anything.

Strong is strong, weak is weak.

What can't be done by a sixth-level true cultivation, you can solve it right away?
Just kidding!
Jiang He sighed.

"Monastery Master Zhenyi came to Yinjiang City, there must be a lot of noise."

"...it's natural."

The Yinjiang city official nodded and understood Jiang He's meaning.

Everyone knows that Lord Shinichi came to Yinjiang City. If there is a [real murderer behind the scenes], then he will naturally know about it.

In this way, as long as he intends to conceal it, it is only natural that the Master of the Shinichi Temple will not be able to find out anything.

However, the Yinjiang city official said again.

"The city officials in the past also thought about this. They reported it to the court and sent people to investigate secretly many times without notifying anyone..."

"Is it true that no one knows?"

Jiang He asked.

The Yinjiang city official was about to answer, but stopped abruptly.

For the city officials who reported to the imperial court, it was natural that they could not tell anyone.

But what about inside the court?

The emperor of Daluo made an order, it is impossible to always repatriate others and issue secret orders... Not to mention that Yinjiang is actually not a big deal for the entire court.

Dozens of people die every year...

Even if there are no water ghosts, have you seen any river that does not drown people?
Compared with the monks' fighting skills that frequently spread to several cities, this is nothing worth mentioning.

If it hadn't been for a long time without a solution, the court felt that some face was damaged, and it would have been ignored for a long time.

In this case, the emperor ordered, and I don't know how many people will know.

Moreover, the court officials came to Yinjiang City, not entirely in night clothes. In order to thoroughly investigate the Yinjiang matter, they will definitely mobilize the officials.

After a series of events, if the real culprit behind the scenes has a channel to inquire about the news.

It is completely possible to clean up the mess and let the court officials return without success.

The Yinjiang city official was stunned.

No wonder Brother Gu can detect clues...

Perhaps the real murderer behind the scenes didn't take him seriously at all.

However, this also seems to mean that although Brother Gu's cultivation base is not high, he is comparable to high-level monks in terms of methods and knowledge!
"I see. I wonder what clue Brother Gu found?"

The Yinjiang city official was convinced and looked forward to asking.

Solving the mysterious case that has plagued him for nearly a thousand years will not only benefit the people of Yinjiang, but also a great political achievement, enough to make his future official career smooth!
But he heard Jiang He speak.

"The Yinjiang River is vast and mighty, and it is extremely cumbersome and difficult to completely investigate."

"The officials who investigated the case before should have relied on the power of the water god of the Yin River, right?"

"Having said that, the city officials of Yinjiang are often changed, and the soldiers patrolling the river are also limited by their longevity. They can serve for decades at most."

"It's the water god of the Yin River who hasn't been replaced for 2000 years and has witnessed everything?"

"Brother Gu means..."

The Yinjiang city official's face darkened.

But Jiang He nodded and said.

"I was looking for the evil spirit, but I saw it somewhere at the bottom of the river. I used the power of the water god to wipe off its hands and tails, and then sneaked into an underwater cave."

"Its power is hidden. If I hadn't been born with keen perception, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed it."

"I didn't startle the snake, I just withdrew it."

"...He is only the god of a river, how could he have the guts to fool the emperor?!"

The Yinjiang city officials were shocked and angry.

As Jiang He said, everyone who investigates the river will use the power of the water god of Yinjiang for efficiency.

If it was the Yinjiang water god who did it at this time...

Doesn't that mean I check myself?
It's no wonder what can be found out!
but……

The water god of Yinjiang is the god of the emperor's order, and his duty is to control the river and keep one side safe.

All of His mighty power comes from the gift of the Son of Heaven. Isn't this behavior of guarding and stealing afraid of arousing the court's suspicion?

The courage is too big!

At this time, Jiang He said meaningfully again.

"You seem to have said that this water god of the Yin River was once favored by Buddhism and has a very good relationship with Buddhism?"

"..."

The Yinjiang city official's expression froze, and he was sweating profusely.

Where does the god of rivers and waters come from to do such a thing to fool the emperor?

Buddhism?

So it makes sense.

Buddhism is the largest sect in the world today, and its influence still overwhelms the Taoist sect.

Even if only a certain Buddhist temple or a certain eminent monk stands behind, it is enough to support the courage of the water god of Yinjiang.

Even if there were imperial officials who did not rely on the power of the Yinjiang water god, when he set out to act, the order of the emperor had already been passed through the eyes and ears of the Buddhist temple in the imperial capital to the Yinjiang water god's ears.

"What reason does the Buddhist temple have to help the evildoers?"

"Who knows?"

Jiang He said quietly.

"If we ignore this point, maybe the water god of Yinjiang will commit suicide when the court comes..."

"……I understand."

The Yinjiang city official let out a sigh of relief and said.

"I will send my cronies to the Imperial State and secretly inform the Director of the Sky Survey."

"He is a disciple of the Son of Heaven, and he patrols the world for the Son of Heaven. He will never be in the company of ghosts and ghosts. He also visited Yinjiang in the past, but he failed to succeed. I regret it."

"Let him take action, no matter how strong the backing of Yinjiang Water God is, he will definitely die!"

……

Jiang He felt very at ease when he left the government office.

Even for Hou Luo who was stolen by monsters, not all monsters were in the court, and there were also ordinary monks who were kept in the dark, let alone now.

With the help of monks from the imperial court, the matter of Yinjiang will definitely be resolved.

Most of them can follow the vine and clean up the entire Anjiang Temple.

After all, the matter of Yinjiang has a lot to do with it, and the Buddhist sect is very good at cutting off its tail to survive.

Once there is a tendency to catch fire, a mere Buddhist temple is nothing more than an abandoned child.

To solve the matter, Jiang He followed his breath and came to a residential house on the edge of the city, knocking on the door.

When the laundry girl opened the door, she was surprised to see Jiang He outside.

"Mr. Gu?"

The washerwoman was still very impressed with this man who had spent all his money in Yinjiang City not long ago.

At this moment, Jiang He cut to the chase and asked directly.

"Ma'am, I heard from a friend that you have been secretly practicing swords in order to avenge your deceased husband."

"If you kill that evil spirit, what are your plans for the future?"

The washerwoman guessed that the friend he was talking about was probably Painter Li who spent all day painting by the river.

It's just that she obviously made a mistake, frowned slightly, and said.

"The Yu family has no intention of remarrying, sir, please go back."

"I'm not here to be a matchmaker, but I just want to ask Madam about her plans."

Seeing Jiang He's sincere attitude, the washerwoman hesitated for a moment and replied, remembering his good reputation.

"Sir, I don't know something. The evil spirits are frightening, but the Yinjiang incident may not be limited to evil spirits..."

"Forget it, Mr. Quan Dangyuan's family is talking nonsense, you'd better go back quickly."

The washerwoman has a tenacious character, seeing that the real culprit is always at large, and she has such an idea, the idea is self-evident.

Jiang He sighed softly and said.

"I have a wonderful sword formula, and I am willing to pass it on to Madam, so that I can help you... May I speak with you?"

The washerwoman hesitated for a moment before responding.

"Sir, please."

[You invited the washerwoman to have a long talk about the Yinjiang Buddhist Temple. 】

[The laundry woman burst into tears when she knew the real murderer behind the scenes. 】

[However, the abbot of the Buddhist temple rotates. The former abbot of Dingjiang Temple has made a breakthrough in cultivation and returned to Lingshan to practice. He has more heart but not enough energy. 】

[So I worship you as my teacher, and I can teach you the wonderful method, so I can practice with you. 】

【You go back to the hotel to rest. In the middle of the night, artist Li was tossing and turning, so he knocked on the door to visit. 】

[He said that he hates himself for being poor and weak, unable to protect the people in his mind, and wishes to be like Chen Xianglan, truly worship you as his teacher, and seek to pass on the wonderful law. 】

[You know his mind, and then he explained the matter of the Buddhist sect, saying that the wonderful law is only passed on to those who help the world. If he doesn't want to, he can forget it and go back. 】

[Painter Li thought over and over again and made up his mind, so he had to teach the wonderful method. 】

[After one night, the manpower doubles. 】

【Teach the two of you to concentrate on practicing, and then go to the Yinjiang River and guard the water ghost's hiding place. Although you can't scare the snake, you can also monitor the movement to prevent it from murdering again. 】

[After half a month, the sky survey arrives, the water god falls, and Jiang Ze weeps together. 】
