The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 162 The Curse to Kill Sanren 600 Years Ago ([-] words for subscription)
on the stone bridge.

Seeing Ji Pingan shaking out the crimson flames, Ye Hongling's beautiful face clearly showed surprise, surprise, and consternation.

As a martial artist sitting in the well, although her methods are not as fancy as other inheritances, she can also release her spiritual sense and be keen on spells.

"It's you!"

Her tone was complicated, her hand holding the knife was hard, and her expression became serious.

In her heart, a strange emotion was born: just now, she also had the idea of ​​whether the mysterious master would show up again.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, it came true.

Ji Pingan said "Hey", raised his hand to snuff out the talisman, and said, "Shou Yesi has good eyesight."

Therefore, this person is indeed a martial artist, and the spells he performed only used talisman-like instruments... Ye Hongling was not surprised. After a short period of shock, he quickly suppressed his emotions and said lightly:
"The head of this department is about to capture you, but I don't want to send it to your door."

Ji Pingan smiled and said, "Then why don't you do it?"

Ye Hongling raised her sword eyebrows and said:

"It's been a long time since no one dared to challenge me, so tell me, you...or what is the intention of the forces behind you?"

Ji Pingan glanced at her unexpectedly, his eyes became more and more appreciative, and he said straight to the point:

"It's inconvenient to say my identity, but there are certain things that don't conflict with the imperial court. For example, the Four Sages, or others."

"Other?"

"As far as I know, there have been a lot of cases involving curse killings in the city recently." Ji Ping'an said leisurely.

Ye Hongling narrowed her eyes suddenly, her heart skipped a beat:
The other party was really not simple. You must know that she personally suppressed the news about this case. Although it was not top secret, it was not something that could be easily found out.

In particular, the word "curse to kill" that the other party said caused ripples in her heart.

"What do you know?!" The female warrior unconsciously leaned forward, her tone anxious.

Although he is quite smart, he is still not good at cultivating energy... Ji Pingan secretly commented and said with a smile:
"I am a person who pays attention to equal exchange."

"What do you want?" Ye Hongling frowned.

Ji Pingan said calmly:

"I'm somewhat interested in what's involved in this case. So I intend to cooperate with Demon Slayer to solve this case together."

He didn't go around the corner.

Old Man Tianji made it very clear.With the ability of Tianji Pavilion, only part of the situation can be found out, and the details of the dossier are only in the hands of this woman.

Ji Pingan wanted to follow this clue to investigate and solve Patriarch Pei's disappearance, so he could only contact him.

Of course, sneaking in to read the dossier is also an option, but for one thing... the Demon Slayer has formations, and with Ye Hongling's force, it is more difficult.

Secondly, the city of Yuhang is precarious, and Ji Pingan also has the idea of ​​establishing a relationship with the imperial court.

"Cooperation?" Ye Hongling was surprised, and sneered:

"The head of our department is a general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could he have sex with a young man like you who hides his head and shows his tail?"

No... Can the word sex be used in this way... Ji Pingan said:

"Now that the Kyushu is in turmoil, the world of great controversy has arrived, and Chief Yesi should be flexible."

Ye Hongling's eyes flashed, and she said coldly: "The demonic words confuse the crowd."

Ji Pingan sighed:
"You don't need to test me like this. Well, to show my sincerity, I can leak some news. The five major sects have all been mobilized, and the head teacher of the Taoist sect has personally issued a decree. Appearance is just a precursor to certain events. I think the court will take some action first... For example, secretly confess what you are doing, and... keep a distance from the Taoist school and the school?"

Ye Hongling raised her eyebrows and lost her voice:

"What the hell do you know?!"

At this moment, it was as if she had been exposed to a secret, and it was difficult for her to maintain her composure.

You must know that the decree issued by the imperial court is top secret, she did not tell anyone, only a few people such as the magistrate knew about it.

But it was said casually by this mysterious person, and his words even involved such behemoths as the five major sects. It is obvious that the other party has far more information than she does.

Ji Pingan laughed but said nothing, thinking that this girl is too young to hold her breath after all, if I tell you the situation of the reborn, wouldn't I be frightened and lose my temper?
Ye Hongling pursed her lips and said suddenly:
"Do you really think that the chief can't make you speak?"

When the words fell, the female martial artist suddenly bent her knees slightly, her boots swung away a circle of dust, and her whole body was shot out like a cannonball, reaching Ji Ping'an in the blink of an eye.

He didn't make a knife, but threw out his left fist brazenly.

However, this is the case, a martial artist sitting in the well made a move, still in awe, and only after his fist arrived, there was a series of sonic booms like the roar of an electric motor.

Ji Pingan laughed out loud, and threw out the same punch without any surprise.

The fists collide.

"Boom!"

There was a heavy, bell-like sound.

Centered on the two fists, the river under the bridge burst out water columns one by one, from high to low.The violent force rebounded.

Ye Hongling kicked her boots to the ground, stepped back a dozen steps, and perfectly relieved the force of the shock.

Among the storytellers in the restaurant, in order to exaggerate the force, they often talk about the number of steps back when the master fights, and the level of force is discussed.

But only real warriors know the absurdity of this statement.

The stronger the martial arts, the more emphasis on unloading force, and will use footwork and posture to eliminate the strength of the counter-shock.And if you just stand still and don't take a step back, it is equivalent to using your physical body to resist the impact.

Unless one enters the realm of observing the sky and transforms one's body, even a cultivator sitting in a well will suffer internal injuries.

However, what surprised Ye Hongling was that the person in front of him really didn't take a step back.

Compared with her "worried" appearance, she just stood there, with her left hand behind her back, with the demeanor of a master, and the smile on her face did not change at all.

Skywatcher? !

This terrifying thought jumped out and was immediately cut off by her, it was too ridiculous.

But how to explain that the opponent was not affected in the slightest and used his body to withstand his punch?
And... when they were punching just now, she clearly felt that the opponent's fist was extremely hard, different from the stellar energy protection, more like a body tempered master.

Although Ye Hongling's knowledge is not short, it is relative. Of course, she can't think of the "mechanism technique" lost in ancient times.

What's more, the person in front of him is just a lump of iron, of course he is not afraid of the shock.

As for human-shaped instruments, although they are not uncommon, they are all rigid and mechanical, which are completely different from the living people in front of them.

For a moment, the number one female martial artist in the south of the Yangtze River felt that her hairs stood on end, and there was a faint awe in her eyes, and she felt that her previous judgment was wrong.

The real strength of this person is definitely not broken nine.

But when did such a tyrannical warrior appear in Kyushu?Ye Hongling couldn't figure it out.

"Heh," Ji Pingan looked at the bewildered female chief, smiled lightly, and lowered his right fist without a trace of fireworks, as if the confrontation just now was useless:
"Now, can we continue the discussion?"

Ye Hongling was silent.

After a long time, she took a deep breath, stared at him fearfully, and said:
"how to cooperate?"

"You tell me the details of the murder case file first." Ji Pingan added, "All the details, not the outline, are related to whether the case can be solved, so don't make mistakes."

Ye Hongling hesitated for a while, thinking that it was not top-secret information at all, so she said:
"Well, here's the situation..."

With her cultivation base, she can already achieve a certain level of memory, let alone a file that has been studied for a long time.

It can be reproduced verbatim.

The case is simple and not complicated. The general idea is that the Yamen police received reports one after another, and some people died suddenly, but they didn't pay attention at first.

After all, in Yuhang City, a lot of people will die one day... But after a large number of people appeared in a short period of time, and the method of death was similar, they finally attracted attention and submitted to the demon slayer.

After Ye Hongling and others investigated, they found that more than [-] people had died in just ten days.

"The identities of the deceased are different, but they have almost no intersection with each other. They are both men, women and children. The time of death is almost at night, most of them died suddenly in their sleep. They were found by their family members the next day. Some people were not asleep and were doing other things. He fell down suddenly, and there was no movement."

"The medical center and Wu Zuo have both seen it, but they didn't find anything. They only said that they had a sudden heart attack."

"We have also investigated his recent experience and visited the surrounding area, and found no traces related to practitioners."

When Ye Hongling talked about the case, her expression was obviously depressed.

After hearing this, Ji Pingan said, "It's indeed like a 'curse to kill' method."

Ye Hongling shook her head and said:
"I also suspected that someone used strange spells, but I checked the yamen file library, and all known spells involving 'curse killing' would leave traces and obtain the hair of the person killed by the curse, and Birth date and other elements, but these people did not.”

Ji Ping'an's heart moved, and he suddenly said:

"Do you still remember the birthday of the deceased?"

Ye Hongling recalled it, and read it one by one.

At the end, Ji Pingan was silent for a moment, then sighed:
"I know what method the other party is using."

The female warrior was stunned, completely unexpected, the other party only listened to the dossier once, and had an answer, subconsciously asked:
"what?"

"Space Curse... can also be understood as a curse, which has been lost for hundreds of years. Back then, when the two races of humans and monsters fought, there was a person who was good at this in the Dao League of the Human Race, and he was an undisciplined person. The technique stood out in the grand gathering of demon slaying... However, this technique is so strange that it cannot be tolerated by the righteous way, if it wasn't for the fact that it was a wartime obedience in the past, it wouldn't have..."

Remembrance appeared in Ji Ping'an's eyes.

But in the middle of the speech, it seemed to touch some unpleasant memories, so he stopped and said:
"It's all a matter of old sesame seeds and rotten millet. I didn't expect that the spell that had been lost for so long has returned..."

When he said the word "come back", Ji Ping'an's tone was a bit complicated, and even his mood changed a little.

But Ye Hongling, who was in shock, didn't notice.

Sixty-seven hundred years... the spell of the Daomeng era?

Rao is well-informed and well-informed, and he is considered a big shot in the Jiangnan area.But Ye Hongling couldn't help being distracted at this moment, shocked by the secrets of this ancient era.

Then, the eyes looking at the person in front of him became more and more surprised and awed, only to feel that this person was unfathomable.

Not only is he aware of the high-level movements of Kyushu, but he is also familiar with such ancient secrets and casually revealed them.

Or, there is a powerful force behind the opponent.

Or, it was himself, an expert, who deliberately lowered his realm, so as not to disturb Mr. Qi in Xishan and be paid attention to.

No matter what kind of possibility it is, it makes the head of the demon slaying division quite afraid.

"Then this space-distance spell, is there no flaw at all?" She asked.

Ji Pingan finished his memories, smiled in a low voice, and said:
"You are asking the right person. Regarding this technique, in the entire Kyushu, there are no more than ten fingers who know about it, including me."

Well... Those who are reborn don't count.

"Space spells do not require a medium. The only requirement is that the caster must clearly remember the appearance of the target to be killed by the spell, and when casting the spell, be within a certain range from the target... Well, this distance has more to do with cultivation. Great, if you are in the Heaven Observation Realm, you can curse and kill him across a whole house."

Ye Hongling opened her mouth and said:

"It's just like this? Isn't it still impossible to find?"

Ji Pingan shook his head and said, "Knowing this, it's no longer difficult."

He explained:

"First, according to what you said, dozens of people died on the [-]th, that is to say, every night, several people were cursed to death, and everyone's address was different, which was quite scattered. Considering the caster's His cultivation base will not be too high...

Heh, at least you won't be sitting in the well, otherwise the efficiency won't be so full, and you won't be nourishing your energy, so you won't be able to kill so fast... And breaking the nine realms, the casting distance is limited.

That is to say, you only need to divide the deceased into several groups according to the date of death, and mark the location where they died on the map, and draw a circle, then the caster must be within this range, and it is likely to be close to the center. "

"Secondly, the details of the appearance must be clearly remembered, so the murderer must have seen the deceased from afar one or two days before the curse, or even on the same day, as long as the 'trajectories' of each deceased before death were found out and outlined on the map. , find the intersection point, then you can further narrow down the location of the caster.”

"Thirdly, performing the curse killing technique requires a quiet environment, and it is night, so this person must have a long-term foothold, and must go out during the day."

"Fourth..."

Ji Pingan casually analyzed the dossier and the characteristics of the curse-killing technique.

Ye Hongling was still at a loss at first, but as he gave more points, the eyes of the anxious female chief became brighter, and said:
"According to what you said, I can already lock the approximate area where it is located. Next, as long as I send someone to search and ask the neighbors, I can force the other party to show up!"

Ji Pingan smiled: "It's not too stupid."

Excited, Ye Hongling ignored the teasing, and was so excited that she wished she could go back to the yamen immediately and find a map to practice.

But she immediately calmed down, took a deep breath, forced herself to return to seriousness, and stared at the other party:

"You provided these, what do you want?"

She didn't forget that what the other party said was "cooperation", and she must ask for something.

Ji Pingan looked her up and down a few times, until the female warrior's face turned pale, then he laughed and said:

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I will come to you again when I need it."

After finishing speaking, he took up his lightness kung fu and disappeared into the night.

The female warrior holding the handle of the knife hesitated, but she still didn't pursue after all. The opponent was too mysterious, which made her instinctively afraid.

At this time, the two had fought just now, and the commotion caused finally attracted the attention of the inspector. Ye Hongling shook her head, fled away, and returned to the yamen.

Only a group of small inspectors were left, looking at the empty stone bridge in a daze.

……

……

A quiet fast, in the bedroom.

The moonlight shone on the floor, and the room was quiet, only Jiang Jiang "sat" on the table boredly, staring at the window and distracted.

Suddenly, Ji Pingan, who was meditating cross-legged, opened his eyes and withdrew his consciousness from the puppet.

Jiang Jiang asked curiously, "Where's the organ man?"

"It sank into the river."

Ji Pingan squeezed the center of his brows, in order to prevent being followed and expose his body position, he sank the puppet into the bottom of the Qinhuai River.

Coincidentally, fighting Ye Hongling used up a lot of spiritual essence, and it would take a certain amount of time for him to absorb and replenish it by himself.

He has gained a lot from this trip, although it seems to be paying unilaterally.

But in fact, he prostituted the information for nothing, and made a smooth game, using the monster killer as a pawn.

"Space Curse Killing Technique...Could it be that people from the Liyang Era have also been reborn..."

"Regardless of whether the caster is that person or its inheritor, they are definitely not stupid characters. Even if they risk frequent spell killings in order to quickly recover their strength, they will definitely not be unprepared."

Ji Pingan thought secretly.

The advice he gave Ye Hongling was not false, but he didn't think that Demon Slayer could find the caster so smoothly.

However, it is indeed possible to try to use the power of the court to further muddy the water.

"Who are you trying to trick again?" Jiang Jiang floated over at some point, quietly overlooking him.

Ji Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do I have such a sinister image in your heart?"

Jiang Jiang thought about it seriously, then lightened her dull face: "Yes."

"..."

Ji Ping'an was not happy anymore, he always felt that he was a strong man who followed the king's path, but he was always slandered by some young people as an old woman.

"Aren't you going to practice tonight?" Jiang Jiang asked curiously when he saw him start to undress and go to bed.

Because of manipulating the puppet, Ji Pingan, who had consumed a lot of soul, lay down:
"Snoring..."

Jiang Jiang:? ?

……

……

Silent all night.

At dawn the next day, Yu Yu, who was severely hit, left without saying a word, and then re-entered Yuhang City, vowing to get important news and wash away the shame.

Mu Yaoyao followed Ji Ping'an's instructions, suspended the investigation, and slept in with peace of mind.

But Ji Pingan called Huang He to sit in the shop for him, and took Jiang Jiang out by himself, leaving Laoliu Street.

When passing by Mud Bottle Lane, I saw a group of little kids gathering together from a distance, imitating the formation of soldiers in a battle formation, hehehehaha, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and left, thinking that he was quite childlike...

After crossing the streets and alleys, Ji Pingan arrived at an urban area. Ji Pingan jumped up, hid himself on the top of a taller building, and waited cross-legged.

Jiang Jiang said curiously:
"Where is this place? What are you going to do? When you went out, didn't you say you were looking for the person who cursed you?"

Ji Pingan raised his eyelids to look at her, and said helplessly:
"I'm just a star official, not a god. In such a big city, how can I find it by myself? Just wait."

Jiang Jiang thought for a while and said:
"Are you sure, that person is active in this area? But you don't want to test it yourself, but want the people from the court to be pawns?"

Ji Ping'an was very surprised. Miss Qi Ling walked around the world a lot, and her IQ was high.

This was indeed his plan. After returning last night, he used astrological deduction based on the birthdays of dozens of deceased people, and probably locked this area:
"I bet that the caster has already left here. Or at least, he won't appear here during the day. As long as the monster slayers are not too stupid, they will definitely be able to lock this area by tonight at the latest."

Jiang Jiang asked curiously: "But if that person is not here, then what's the point of waiting?"

Ji Pingan smiled:

"You are not human, so you don't have a thorough grasp of human psychology. There is a phenomenon in psychology. After a period of time, the murderer will often return to the vicinity of the crime scene to observe and confirm whether he has been found... It is the same here, If the caster is still here, we can just wait. If he is not there during the day, he will come back at night and notice the abnormality, and the difference will be exposed.

And if he has already left, he may personally or send someone to appear in the nearby area to observe the movement here, to confirm whether his behavior has been investigated by the government, and then decide whether to continue to curse or stop..."

Jiang Jiang suddenly realized:

"So, you are putting the people of the imperial court on the bright side, luring the hidden targets to surface, while you are acting as a fisherman, overlooking the overall situation from the darker."

"Smart!" Ji Pingan praised, and said:

"However, this is only an ideal situation, and it may not be rewarding. It's just a try."

For the next whole day, Ji Pingan hid here, waiting quietly.

Finally, as the evening approached, some disguised demon slayers began to quietly mix in the crowd, approaching a house from all directions.

Ji Pingan decisively turned to Jiang Jiang for help in stealth.

When the last ray of afterglow fell, the crowds in this street gradually thinned out, and Ye Hongling finally appeared, darting into the courtyard silently like a wild goose, his consciousness swept over him, and his face sank.

Then he dodged to open the door, his eyes swept over the neatly cleaned house, and he raised his hand to pick up a half-burnt one from the pile of black ashes in the house, tied with a red string and pasted with yellow paper. ugly scarecrow.

"One step too late!" Ye Hongling's expression turned ugly.

at the same time.

On the second floor of a small restaurant in the distance, a young man who had been sitting here all day glanced out the window, and the officials who had gathered at the entrance of the alley in the distance moved his eyes.

"Pay the bill." He threw out a piece of silver, stretched himself under Xiao Er's earnest gaze, and walked downstairs.

He got into the carriage waiting below, and then the wheels rolled, heading for the distance.

But they didn't realize that two translucent "ghosts" had fallen silently from a certain building and landed behind the carriage.

Jiang Jiang was quite excited, and became more and more familiar with following and tracking, until the carriage crossed the streets and alleys, and finally rushed towards the east of the Qinhuai River, where a bustling and brightly lit area could be seen from a distance.

Only then said word by word: "Cooperate."

"That's right." Ji Pingan held the mountain scepter and was walking vigorously, but suddenly he didn't hear clearly, thinking that Miss Qi Ling was talking about the next action, and said:

"Wait for you to cooperate with me, and follow up to see the situation first."

Jiang Jiang glanced at him dumbly, raised his right hand, and pointed to the Qinhuai River in front of him, where there was a burst of silk and bamboo orchestral fireworks, and it is also a famous romantic place in the south of the Yangtze River. He emphasized:

"Cooperate."

"..." The corner of Ji Ping'an's mouth twitched, and finally remembered what he had said to her back then.

Just as he was thinking about how to explain it, suddenly the carriage in front of him stopped on the bank, and the young master jumped onto a boat and headed towards the painting boat on the river.
