Chapter 161 Female Competition Will Only Affect Her Rebirth

After watching Gong Qi leave, Lang Jiuchuan closed the door and took out the Vajra Pagoda again. He brushed his fingertips across the tower, frowned and thought, and after a long while he came up with an idea.

Jiang Che tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it and said, "Don't you hate that Fourth Miss Qi? Why did you tell Gong Qi that she looked like she was about to die?"

"Finally you asked. I thought you could hold back. Look at your indignation. She and I have no grudges against each other. I hate her for anything. I don't hate Qi Xinyu."

"She abused her power and took over the Zen temple that was supposed to be reserved by Madam. This is a provocation and targeting." Jiang Che said, "Don't you have any temper at all?"

Lang Jiuchuan said, "There are many powerful people in the capital. She abuses her power, but there are also people who are better at it than her. In a monastery, people also look at people and treat them differently. If someone with a higher status than her asks her to give up this courtyard, would she dare not do so? Speaking of abusing power, look at the Zen courtyard we live in now, how does it compare to the Jing Zen courtyard? If it weren't for a power, we wouldn't be able to live here."

Even if they were able to live here because of Madam Pei, wasn't it also because of power?
"I don't care. It's not okay for her to provoke us."

"She is so angry about death. Why would I bother with a dying person? Or do I want to kill her to vent my anger because she occupies a courtyard? I told her that she is not worth wasting my merits." Lang Jiuchuan said calmly, "I told Gong Qi about this. First, I was kind and gave her a glimmer of hope, but whether she can catch it or not depends on fate. It has nothing to do with me. Second, if her horoscope is also pure yin, and she is on the same side as Zhuo Yu, it is probably not a coincidence. Preventing the evil spirit from absorbing the yin essence of another pure yin woman is to prevent its magic power from growing. Combining these two factors, you should get some merits from me, right?"

After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Although she did not save the life personally, she spoke out about it, so it can't be regarded as a deserter. As for whether she can survive, it depends on fate.

General: “…”

You are really invincible!
Lang Jiuchuan crossed his legs and said, "Don't waste your energy and spirit on irrelevant people. It's not worth it. I need to regulate my breathing and engrave the runes on the tower body later. You go outside and pay attention to the movements and news of Gong Qi and the others."

She could not miss the opportunity to slay demons and evil spirits as her body needed it.

Lang Jiuchuan pressed his chest, feeling his broken heart beating slightly, and took a deep breath. The little girl's temper seemed childish to him. Her focus was on reshaping herself rather than wasting time on trivial matters.

He watched her regulate her breathing and enter a state of meditation, and stared at her with his tiger eyes for a while before swinging away. She was focused on her goal and trying her best, without losing a moment, while it seemed like a woman who was only obsessed with trivial matters.

What is this called, female competition?

In her opinion, female competition will only affect her rebirth.

……

Two flower tables.

Gong Qi found Gong Si and discussed the matter of the evil spirit. The two of them acted separately and sent a message to the clan. Gong Si was responsible for keeping an eye on Zhuo Yu and checking Qi Si's birth date.

Gong Qi went back to the city to find the Jingzhao Division to check if there were any missing women reported recently. Although it was the New Year and the time to seal the official seal, it was easier to check because of his status. He also took Ding Mangu from the Jingzhao Division prison to the Dali Temple as a suspect, and personally put a spell on Ding Mangu. If someone tried to kill him to silence him, he would know it immediately.

After all, he had made a deal with Lang Jiuchuan. If he agreed to it and then the person failed to take good care of him and was killed, wouldn't that be his incompetence?
Gong Qi stared at Ding Mangu and said, "I saw your horoscope. You will have a great disaster in middle age. You should have been imprisoned and your family destroyed. But now the clouds and the moon have dispersed and light has entered your brow. It is because of the good deeds you have accumulated in the past that you have met a noble person."

Timongu knelt before him.

Gong Qi avoided him a little: "Don't kneel to me, kneel to that little girl named Lang Jiuchuan. If you hadn't met her, your whole family would have been doomed. Stay here and wait for this matter to be resolved. There will be a day when your daughter will be avenged."

"Yes, thank you, Taoist priest." Ding Mangu bowed again, and when he looked up again, the other party had disappeared. He changed direction and there was a very small window there. If he could escape this disaster, he would do good deeds all his life to accumulate merits for his benefactor.

When Gong Qi left the Dali Temple's prison, he met the Dali Temple's Shaoqing, who was also an old acquaintance of Lang Jiuchuan, Shen Qinghe. The other party was holding a stack of files in his hand, with a frown on his face. When he saw Gong Qi, his expression was a little unfriendly.

He knew that the other party was from the Xuan Clan, and the Xuan Clan's behavior over the years really made him feel ashamed. Take Gong Qi's bringing people to the Dali Temple, for example. Wasn't it because he used his status to pressure the people in charge of various government offices to accomplish this? Otherwise, if the Xuan Clan intervened in the affairs of the court, how chaotic would the court be? How could officials like them govern the country?

But Gong Qi just wanted to investigate the case of a missing woman. No matter how unhappy he was, he had to make a trip because he had been secretly investigating this matter recently. The Xuan clan had also intervened. He had a hunch that this might be the same as the evil god case that his son had experienced before, and that evil spirits were also causing trouble.
If so, that's trouble.

Seeing Shen Qinghe's displeasure towards him, Gong Qi thought that he had not offended him, so he forced a smile and said, "Sir Shen, I bow to you. It's New Year's Day, and you have to make a trip. It's really wrong. Just let the subordinates deliver it."

Shen Qinghe said in a deep voice: "Let's not beat around the bush. I'd like to ask you, Taoist priest, is the disappearance of Ding Mangu's daughter caused by an evil spirit?"

Gong Qi raised his eyebrows, he was so perceptive, no, this man was full of righteousness, why did he speak of evil as soon as he opened his mouth? Many educated people did not believe in supernatural powers, but he seemed so sure.

"Why do you say this, sir?"

"You don't have to beat around the bush to test me. I have also experienced similar things. As the saying goes, one does not come to the temple for no reason. How could the people of the Xuan clan suddenly come to interfere in the affairs of the prisoners in the Xing prison if it was not related to evil spirits? Not to mention, the Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, but an important person in the clan." The one who came was not an ordinary Taoist priest, but a member of the Gong family. It would definitely not be as simple as protecting Ding Man Gu. Ding Man Gu was just a businessman, and he had nothing to do with the Gong family.

So it could only be that an evil spirit had committed a crime, and it should not be an ordinary case, but a major case. Shen Qinghe felt his head throbbing with pain.

"Oh, Lord Shen has also experienced evil things. Can I ask what they were?" Gong Qi was somewhat interested.

Shen Qinghe didn't say anything, but just handed over the case file in his hand: "This is the name list of people who have disappeared in Beijing recently. I wonder if it is related to what you want to investigate?"

Gong Qi was startled, took it and opened it, his face immediately turned ugly.
