The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 161
Yu Yu was overjoyed, crossed his hips, and did not reply immediately to the inquiry, but said briefly:
"hungry."

This is what you're capable of, and you're already on your feet... Ji Pingan smiled, and said to Huang He:
"You haven't made dinner yet, go to the restaurant on Front Street and buy some."

Huang He said "En", and went straight away, Mu Yaoyao was in a dilemma, her little brows frowned, she didn't know whether to continue eating melons, or save her stomach for delicious food.

Not long after, Huang He returned with a food box, and the four of them set up food and drink in the courtyard. Ji Pingan said with a smile:

"It can be said now."

Yu Yu snorted, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Exquisite pink and white, only a reserved expression appeared on the palm-sized face, reluctantly:
"Although the food and drinks are a bit poor, but you are still paying attention to the wait, so I will share one or two with you."

She wasn't really hungry, or gluttonous.

The saint mainly cares about a card face.

Although she has lost nothing of her character as a saint since she left the capital, but she has her own calculations in her heart:

Among the four, he represents the Daoist sect. If he keeps eating and waiting to die, wouldn't he humiliate the master's sect?
So, she actually wanted to say so much, and held back all the way.

On the way back, I had been fantasizing about how Ji Pingan was shocked and admired after hearing the information he provided, which was inexplicable.

He even bowed his head to her and let this stinky Death Star officer kneel under his pomegranate skirt...

Well, forget it under the skirt, I feel that I will be taken advantage of.

At the dinner table, the three of Qin Tianjian silently looked at the girl in the pink skirt who was opposite, hehe silly, immersed in their own fantasy world, and looked at each other.

Ji Pingan suddenly felt a headache, thinking that this melon skinned woman is not as smart as a foodie.

Cough lightly: "Well, are you going to say it or not?"

Only then did Yu Yu withdraw from his fantasy and return to reality. He cast a displeased glance at the annoying star official, let out a "huh", and said lightly:
"This information is of great importance. It involves the largest family in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yuhang Pei family. Listen carefully."

Huang He and Mu Yaoyao were sitting upright, as if they were about to eat a big melon.

"..." Ji Pingan was silent for a while, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just listen to Yu Yu's mysterious face:
"After many investigations by this holy lady, something happened to Pei's family. During these days, information has been blocked, but just today, a group of well-known hexagram masters in the city were invited to go to the mansion, and they stayed for almost two hours. Let it out. There is definitely something big going on here! I think it is very likely to be related to what we are investigating, otherwise how could it be like this with Pei's power?"

hiss……

Suddenly eating a big melon, Huang He and Mu Yaoyao were shocked, and sincerely believed that it was indeed an important clue.

In contrast, the two of them investigated in the city and obtained those fragmented and hard-to-distinguish news, which is really not worth mentioning.

Satisfied, Yu Yu's mind was greatly satisfied, and he looked at Ji Pingan with an expression of "come and praise me", but he didn't see the shocked expression as he wished.

Instead, he bumped into an inexplicable line of sight.

Then the little brow frowned, and said displeasedly: "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Ji Pingan put down his chopsticks and said, "Caring for the little cute eyes."

Little cutie... Yu Yu had goosebumps all over his body, and his hair stood on end. At the same time, his face was reddish and he spat:
"Heh, don't say such insensible flattery, I don't like this kind of saintess."

"..."

Ji Pingan sighed, and said helplessly:

"Other than that, what else did you inquire about?"

Yu Yu was not happy anymore:

"Isn't this one amazing enough? Next, we only need to try to investigate Pei, or start with those hexagram masters, then we can..."

Ji Pingan said lightly:

"It is true that something happened to the Pei family. First, the eldest son of the Pei family was injured outside and sent back a letter for help. Then, the Patriarch of the Pei family rushed to go, but disappeared strangely..."

He described the context of the incident in a concise tone.

Huang He and Mu Yaoyao were greatly shocked when they heard this, the smile on Yu Yu's face froze, and her ruddy face gradually lost its color.

At the end, he exclaimed in surprise: "Where did you know... No, you made it up..."

She couldn't accept that the top-secret information she had racked her brains to find out was only superficial, and was ruthlessly crushed by Ji Pingan.

Ji Pingan was expressionless: "Did you forget that I am also a hexagram teacher? I am the only one who went to Pei's today."

Ga.

The atmosphere became stiff, Huang He and Mu Yaoyao yelled in their hearts, and they turned their heads and looked at the saint with connotation.

Wearing a light pink skirt and fine-tuning her appearance, Yu Yu, who still looks amazing, remains motionless, like a sketch of a character in an anime that has lost its color. Her delicate hands on her knees are clenched tightly to the corners of her clothes, and her ten toes are curled up in her boots. , I have the urge to dig out a three-entry mansion.

Especially thinking about just now, he was still boasting in front of Ji Ping'an, feeling ashamed and indignant.

After a few months, the drama saint once again experienced the taste of social death.

But she is Yu Yu after all, she straightened her waist almost instinctively, with a cold face and a haughty demeanor, folded her hands on her lower abdomen, let out a faint "oh", and switched the persona of "National Church Saintess" on the spot.

Huang He and Mu Yaoyao were so amazed, they couldn't compare themselves.

Ji Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the originally serious matter suddenly became funny.

He shook his head, took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, and pretended that nothing happened just now:

"That's probably how it happened. I suspect that the eldest son of the Pei family may be a reborn person. Of course, this is just a guess, and I don't know where to find him. Next, the main thing is to wait and see what happens. Yuhang has been in business for hundreds of years, so don't underestimate the background of the big family, once you have a direction for investigation, the power it can mobilize far exceeds the four of us."

Huang He, who had a high EQ, nodded, did not look at the saint, and said seriously:
"Young master, what do you mean, we just need to observe Pei's movements? Don't we need to try to investigate?"

Ji Pingan shook his head and said:

"No. My idea is that you temporarily hibernate for a few days and stop investigating. Even the saintess can find out about Pei's news, which means that many forces have already entered the field of vision. At this time, if we get close, it will be too conspicuous. The clever Yun...fisherman always messes up the water in the pond, waits and sees from the bank, and waits for the right time to strike."

Huang He said that he was taught, while Mu Yaoyao dragged her pink cheeks, stared at the stars, and acted in a state of worship

——This is a must-kill skill that she has mastered without a teacher. Every time she treats Master like this, Xu Xiurong will be in a good mood.

Ji Ping'an was in a good mood immediately. Which man could refuse to be worshiped by a cute girl after putting on a show?

Living for a thousand years is still a human being...

Then, Huang He and Mu Yaoyao also shared the information they had obtained, but it was indeed scattered and chaotic, not systematic, and it took time to distinguish the true from the false.

Without a medium, Ji Pingan couldn't even use astrology to screen valuable information.

But it's not all fruitless. For example, Huang He mentioned that he learned of a bizarre sudden death in a dream... If it was just a sudden death, it would not be unusual.

In the city of Yuhang, there are millions of people, how many people will not die one day?
The key point is that the demon slayer in the city once sent someone to inquire and inspect the corpse. Although he left afterwards, it was not easy to alert this special department.

Ji Pingan was thoughtful, simply had dinner, and asked not to disturb him in the name of meditation practice, and then returned to the house.

Mu Yaoyao held the plate and licked it with her small tongue. Her mouth was full of greasy food. She turned her head and looked at the reserved and arrogant saint beside her:
"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm full." Yu Yu stood up gracefully, waved her sleeves, turned and entered her room, and when the door was closed, she threw herself on the bed with a sliding shovel, rolling shamelessly:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

……

At the same time, Ji Pingan, who returned to the bedroom, did not light the lamp, and only used the lantern outside the window to meditate on his knees. He pulled out the scriptures from his arms and shook them lightly.

"Peng!"

A water-drenched, pitch-black and rusty metal box fell to the ground, and the lid opened by itself, revealing a square metal block that reflected light blue light.

Ji Pingan fumbled, pulled out a piece of azure kyanite and stuffed it into a certain hole. With a click sound, the metal block turned over by itself, like a precision instrument, or like a Transformer in a movie.

After dazzling flipping and folding, and incomprehensible swelling, in the blink of an eye, a humanoid puppet stood still on the floor.

On the face without facial features, the two pupils shimmered.

Ji Pingan took out another piece of drawing paper from the box, crossed into Lingsu, and threw it forward.

The picture scroll drawn by the young Zhang Sengyao was wrapped around a metal puppet, and in the blink of an eye, a naked man fabricated it.

When Ji Pingan threw away his clothes, bamboo hat and face scarf, he suddenly looked like a real person.

"It's been so many years, I didn't expect it to still work." Ji Pingan stared at the puppet with nostalgia in his eyes.

Inspired by Taoism, Jiang Jiang came out, Miss Qi Ling was suspended in the air, looked at this scene suspiciously, and said:

"Ancient mechanism technique? It is said that there used to be sects in Kyushu that were good at organ mechanism, but they died out thousands of years ago. Up to now, only the treasure houses of major sects have relevant creations left. Xin Yaoguang once tried to restore his technology , Daomen has also been working hard, but there has not been much progress."

Ji Pingan nodded and said:

"This is indeed something that was left over thousands of years ago. It was obtained by the real person Liyang by accident. The painting saint Zhang Sengyao customized a 'skin' for it, which is almost the same as a real person. It can be used as an incarnation puppet outside the body, but it is a pity that it can walk The scope is limited, and the strength is too low, limited to the broken nine realm."

Back then, when the two races of humans and monsters fought, the spirit of heaven and earth was at its peak, and strong men emerged in large numbers. A puppet that broke through the nine realms was really of little use.

Therefore, Li Yang found a place to hide it, and as a result, with Li Yang's death, he completely disappeared from the sun.

After being reincarnated as a national teacher, at first it was because of the distance, and later because it was not very useful, and it was not used much after digging out... It is not so much a collection as a memory of the old things.

It wasn't until 13 years ago, facing reincarnation again, that Ji Pingan remembered this thing and threw it to Pei Wuju to guard.

but.There is no need to tell Jiang Jiang about this background knowledge.

"Protect me." Ji Pingan only said one sentence, then sat cross-legged on the ground, communicating with the puppets.

Not long after, his consciousness was connected with it, and the puppet man opened the back window, jumped up, climbed out of the wall, and disappeared into the vast night.

The owner of Tianji Pavilion said that behind the "Curse Killing Case", there may be clues related to Pei's case, and the specific file is in the hands of the monster killer.

Ji Pingan decided to go there to meet the "Secretary Ye", but considering the strength of the other party's Izui Wufu, to be on the safe side, he chose to use the puppet.

……

……

On the same night, Pei's mansion.

Pei Qiuwei stood alone in front of the bedroom window, leaning on the window sill with both hands, staring at the stars and moon outside in a trance.

On the sweet and gentle face, the eyes fell in the air, and the images of the day's experience kept flashing back in the mind.

From feeling restless, asking for a divination teacher, to asking for divination with mother's hope, to turning around after disappointment.

Suddenly there was a direction for investigation, and then, the grandfather miraculously woke up from madness, and later ordered to send a large amount of food, almost eating a cow.

And all of this is related to that hexagram master named "Li Anping", who is about the same age as him.

"Who the hell are you?" Pei Qiuwei whispered to himself, with infinite curiosity in his heart.

Beyond that, it's exhaustion and relief.

In fact, these days, she is under a lot of pressure. On the one hand, she is worried about the whereabouts of her father and elder brother, and on the other hand, she is worried about the future of the eldest wife.

No one knows what will happen to the other second and third uncles if the father and brother don't come back for a long time.

But relying on oneself and mother alone is absolutely difficult to support.

Until now, most of the anxiety and pressure have been relieved, not only because of the direction of investigation, but also because of the change of grandfather.

As long as her grandfather is still there, she and her mother will have the confidence to face the storm.

And when people's nerves are tense, they often don't feel tired. Instead, they are relieved, and the tense nerves are relieved, and the mental fatigue is particularly strong.

need to resolve.

"Alas." With a light breath, Pei Qiuwei closed the window, gently unbuttoned his outer robe, and climbed onto the bed with hanging curtains in only silk pajamas.

Leaning a soft pillow against her waist, she raised her green fingers, and took out a Fengyue story book from the pile of Guoshi anthology next to her pillow, and flipped through it by candlelight.

As the number one talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, outsiders only know that she has an elegant temperament and a belly of poetry and books, but they don't know that a talented woman is also keen to read romantic novels circulated among the people.

At this time, her eyes were cut to meet the candlelight, and she stared at the lines of vulgar words on the inferior paper. When she read the emotional part, she would stay for a long time on some illustration pages in the book, her breathing gradually became rapid, her earlobe and cheeks flushed, The legs squeezed and rubbed, and the right hand slipped into the small coat by itself...

"Boom!" There was an abrupt knock on the door, and Li Xiangjun's gentle voice came from outside:
"Daughter, are you asleep?"

Pei Qiuwei was startled, hurriedly closed the novel in his hand, stuffed it under the mattress, then straightened his clothes, and said softly without getting out of bed:
"Mom... not yet, what's the matter?"

Squeak open the door.

Wearing a light purple long dress and a golden yoke on her head, the charming and beautiful woman walked in slowly, then glanced at her daughter who was sitting on the bed with disheveled hair, and was startled:
"Do you have a fever, why is your face so red?"

The corner of Pei Qiuwei's mouth twitched, and said, "It's too hot."

"Why don't you open the windows in hot weather..." Li Xiangjun muttered, without thinking too much, walked lightly, walked to the bed and sat down, said with a smile:
"I have good news for you."

Pei Qiuwei was surprised: "What good news?"

Li Xiangjun said: "Just now people from the subordinates have passed on the news that an old Si Li has just arrived at the Yin Yang Academy, perhaps he was sent by Qin Tianjian, the capital of the gods."

Pei Qiuwei's eyes lit up: "Really? If that's the case, maybe you can ask him to do astrology."

Like Ji Ping'an's guess, Mrs. Pei had tried to seek help from the Sanqing Temple and the Yin-Yang Academy before, but none of them worked.

Now that I accidentally learned that there is a "Si Li" star official coming, I am naturally overjoyed.

After all, the star officials of this level have a higher probability of astrology than the "supervisors" of the Onmyo Academy. Now that they have the idea of ​​investigating the case, the Pei family can definitely pay a lot of money to hire someone to come and get clues through divination.

Li Xiangjun said "En", and the beautiful woman's cheeks were full of joy. She didn't think about tea or food these days, and she was haggard.

But who would have thought that there would be consecutive happy events coming to the house today, not only the old Patriarch would wake up, but also the hope of finding her husband and eldest son.

Immediately radiant.

"Tomorrow, for my mother, I will personally go to the Onmyoji Academy to ask the old gods to help me." Li Xiangjun raised his hand, stroked his daughter's hand, and expressed comfort:
"You don't have to worry about that anymore."

Pei Qiuwei had joy on his face, but felt ashamed in his heart... He wasn't "worried" just now...

Li Xiangjun suddenly let out a sigh, and looked at his daughter's hand: "Why is it so sticky..."

？ ！！

Pei Qiuwei suddenly withdrew his right hand, slightly panicked: "Oh, it was hot, I drank some water and accidentally spilled it."

"Really..." Li Xiangjun looked suspicious, glanced at the neatly arranged tea sets on the table, his beautiful eyes flickered, he pursed his lips, stood up without saying anything, and said:

"Then you can rest now, I won't bother you for my mother."

Pei Qiuwei forced a smile.

After closing the door, Li Xiangjun took a deep look at the shadow of his daughter reflected on the window paper, sighed softly, and muttered:

"It's time to get married..."

In recent years, matchmakers have broken through Pei's threshold, but Pei Qiuwei's vision is so high, and she has a lot of status in the mansion, so she has been delaying. Outperform her in talent and learning, or make up for the remaining chapters of the world's teachers.

Li Xiangjun is an enlightened mistress, and she doesn't want to persecute her too hard, but as a mother, how could she not be in a hurry?
Shaking her head at this time, the beautiful woman turned around and walked back to her bedroom along the corridor. After closing the door, a strong sense of exhaustion surged into her heart because of her nerves being relieved.

need to resolve.

Li Xiangjun tore off his long skirt, his plump figure was as white as a fat koi, slipped into the bed, turned his head to look at the empty pillow next to him, sighed softly, and reached out to grab a smooth jade pestle from under the mattress.

……

……

the same night.

At the gate of the Demon Slaying Yamen, two brightly colored lanterns stood out.

In the backyard of the yamen, in a magnificent hall, Ye Hongling leaned over the desk, reading the files intently.

The female warrior's cloak was hung on the wall, and she was only wearing a brocade official robe, her boots resting on the ground, and the black gold scabbard was placed on one side, ready to be pulled out at any time.

The black gauze wings on the top of the head have black silk in it, revealing a smooth forehead.

A pair of sharp sword eyebrows add a touch of chill to the beautiful face.

"Ton." Putting down the file, Ye Hongling raised her hand to pick up the teacup on the table, raised her neck, rolled her throat, and drank the cold tea.

In midsummer, even at night, the heat of the sun remains in the air, making it a bit stuffy.

However, what really made her chest tight was not the weather, but the case recorded in the file.

"No. 30 is up." Ye Hongling murmured softly, with anxiety and anger appearing in her eyes:
"38 people died in a row, and all of them died suddenly. What kind of technique did the other party use? Means? Why is there no record in the file library?"

Ye Hongling racked her brains to think, but the Wufu way is good at confrontation, and lacks checks and balances and understanding of this weird method.

"Could it be that I can only ask the Taoist priests of Sanqing Temple?" She was shaken.

According to the general process, when it comes to weird cases, when the demon slayer lacks ideas, he will often ask the Taoist school and the academy for help.

But a few days ago, the prefect of Yuhang found her and read out the decree handed down from the city of Shendu, requesting to investigate the relevant case by itself, and not to disclose it to the Taoist school and the school unless it was an emergency.

As the military officer of the imperial court and the head of the first department, Ye Hongling agreed to it even though she didn't know the reason.

But seeing the death toll keep rising, she couldn't sleep at night.

If you continue to suppress the news according to the order, and there is no way to break through for a long time, wouldn't you only be able to witness the demons making troubles and the people die tragically, and you will be helpless?
But if you are looking for Sanqingguan, let alone whether the other party can help, but this matter cannot be hidden from the government.

When the magistrate intervenes, the case may not be resolved, but new troubles will arise.

"It would be great if that expert could make another move."

When Ye Hongling was agitated, this idea suddenly popped into her mind.

The last case that bothered her ended up with a mysterious strong man who killed the head of the Four Saints Church with lightning.

Last night, after she rushed to Dongcheng to clean up the battlefield, she also tried to investigate today to find the other party, but there was no clue.

Of course, the time is too short, after all, only one day has passed.

"What are you thinking? It looks like she's lost her head." Ye Hongling shook her head and laughed, thinking that she only pinned her hope on the fact that she was fainted from heat, and that mysterious expert would help her solve the case again.

In addition, although this person killed the leader of the Four Sages, he did a good deed.

But Ye Hongling wouldn't naively think that he was a good man who was a chivalrous man.

The bigger possibility is that it is just a struggle between certain forces hidden under the water. It is really hard to tell whether the master is an enemy or a friend.

At this moment, suddenly, Ye Hongling's exquisite ear pinna moved suddenly, she turned her head suddenly, her eyes were like lightning:
"Who?!"

While speaking, she grasped the hand hanging by her side, and with a "clang", the black gold long knife came out of its sheath by itself and was handed to her.

The female warrior slammed open the door, raised her head, and looked at a figure on the roof of a certain building that was turning around and fleeing quickly in the dark night ahead, squinting her eyes, exhaling in a deep voice:

"Come here, guard the copy, I will come back as soon as I go!"

As the words fell, Ye Hongling's figure swept up like a wild goose, harnessed lightness skills, and disappeared into the vast dark night, leaving only a group of officers on duty with knives on guard to prevent the tiger from leaving the mountain.

……

As a result, two extremely fast black shadows appeared in Yuhang City under the night.

The two chased and fled without touching the ground, and they often leaped tens of feet in one vertical leap, stepping on the roof tiles of the houses, just like a scene in a martial arts movie.

As the wind raced like lightning, Ye Hongling was secretly startled, surprised by the martial arts in front of him.

She clearly sensed that the opponent should be weaker than her, but this person's movement skills are extremely strange and erratic like smoke.

Of course, there is another very important factor, that is, with Ye Hongling's rich experience, she is keenly aware that the other party is not hostile, and it seemed that she was deliberately exposing herself to attract her out.

And considering that there is no top-secret information in the archives, it is necessary to sacrifice at least one martial artist who has broken the Ninth Realm to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.

She tends to think that the other person wants to talk to her alone.

Otherwise, with Ye Hongling's cultivation base, if he really hits with all his strength, he is confident that he can cut him to the ground.

Under some kind of tacit understanding between the two parties, the two of them swept across the relatively crowded large urban area like green smoke, and finally arrived at a secluded section of the Qinhuai River.

The mysterious warrior started to slow down, landed lightly on an arch bridge, turned around and looked behind him.

"Sure enough, they are waiting for me."

Ye Hongling's eyes narrowed, the martial artist's consciousness spread out, and he didn't notice the ambush, and even through the opponent's veil, he vaguely saw the face of a strange young man.

do not know.

Ye Hongling's boots touched the ground, and also landed on the bridge, keeping a distance of several feet from the other party. The black gold long knife in his right hand was hanging down, and his eyes were like lightning:
"Your Excellency visited Demon Slayer in the middle of the night, why?"

It's very straightforward... I like to get straight to the point... Ji Pingan looked at the female chief through the eyes of a puppet, and was a little surprised by her age and appearance.

However, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty can sit firmly in the Central Plains, of course it is not a paper tiger.

In Shendu City, facing the suppression of Daoist sects seems weak, but it is only inferior to Daoist sects in top-level combat power. In fact, if it is compared with middle-level combat power, the Great Zhou Dynasty is the most powerful one.

It's just that the territory that needs to be guarded is too large, so the force is scattered seriously, which makes people feel that it is not very good.

But as one of the "founders" who created this dynasty with his own hands, how could Ji Pingan not know the background of the court?
Therefore, it is not uncommon for the Demon Slayer to capture such a martial arts genius.

"Heh, I've heard that the leader of the Ye Division has a sharp knife and a good appearance. When I saw him today, his reputation is well-deserved."

Ji Pingan said "Hey" in a slightly hoarse voice, and deliberately stared at the figure of the female warrior with undisguised eyes, especially staying wantonly at key parts.

This is the persona he created for the puppet.

In this way, it is separated from Li Anping, the hexagram master of "Yi Jing Zhai", to avoid trouble.

Moreover, this kind of personality design is more in line with the stereotype of "Jianghu people".

Sure enough, facing Ji Ping'an's vulgar scrutiny, Ye Hongling frowned slightly, and her eyes became a little cold:
"If you brought me here just for these nonsense, then why don't you go back to the demon master's dungeon with me and show you slowly."

She bit the last word "look" very hard.

Ji Pingan laughed, as if he didn't care. The next second, he met Ye Hongling's knife-like gaze, raised his right hand, and shook the talisman held between his fingertips.

Immediately, a cluster of crimson flames spewed out, drawing a straight red line in the night.

Feeling the familiar wave of spiritual essence, Ye Hongling's expression changed slightly, and she lost her voice:
"It's you!"

After a pause, she leaned forward, her chest heaved, and her fingers holding the handle of the knife were slightly white:

"The master who destroyed the entrance of the Four Saints Church is you?!"
