The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 65 This trip has yielded a lot of rewards
Lang Jiuchuan did not participate in solving the case and collecting evidence, as that was not something she could do. As it was already dark, Shen Qinghe was also worried about her health. After all, she was covered in blood, which was very scary. So they simply spent the night in the village and returned to Wujing the next day.

Lang Jiuchuan did not refuse this kindness. She borrowed a house in the village to live in. After she cleaned up, she told the maid who was taking care of her that she wanted to rest. After she asked her to leave, she first sent the maple tree ghosts in the village into the ghost gate, and then went to the bottom of the cliff with the general.

"This place is filled with yin energy. What are you doing here?" Jiang Che was very puzzled.

The bottom of the cliff became even more terrifying at night. There were so many bones here and the ghost lights were floating high and low. If it were someone else, they would be scared to death.

Jiang Che also didn't like such gloom.

Lang Jiuchuan said, "I'm free anyway, so why not come and play around."

He sneered lightly.

It just watched her pretend quietly.

Lang Jiuchuan didn't say anything else. He took a look at the white bones at the bottom of the cliff. He could even see some broken souls wandering around.

She took the incense, lit it, stuck it into the ground, and then took off the imperial bell from her waist.

When the bell is rung, mournful sounds begin.

The second poem leads the soul back.

Recite the sutra three times to lead the ghost away.

The sound of the bell is peaceful, soothing the heart and warding off evil.

The door of hell is wide open.

It seemed as if there were bells ringing inside and a faint light was coming out, leading the wandering souls here to the afterlife.

Sparse, light-grey shadows followed the light.

The general fell silent.

Looking at the thin woman standing among the bones, shaking the imperial bell and reciting the Sutra of Rebirth with an expressionless face, I found it increasingly difficult to understand her.

How did she do that?
You are obviously here to pray for salvation, why don’t you just say so? Why do you have to say you are here to have fun?

When the gates of hell closed, a few scattered golden lights of merit flew towards Lang Jiuchuan and went straight into the spirit platform.

Lang Jiuchuan was overjoyed. Is there such a good thing?

Jiang Che also felt happy. He and Lang Jiuchuan were one. If she was well, it would be well too.

Lang Jiuchuan gently stroked the spiritual platform: "So this is the meaning of doing good deeds and not worrying about the future?"

I vaguely seem to have heard something like this somewhere.

Will switch: "?"

Lang Jiuchuan smiled and said, "Let's go back."

……

The next day, at dusk, Lang Jiuchuan was escorted back to Wujing by Shen Qinghe.

Along the way, Shen Qinghe asked Lang Jiuchuan many questions. Before arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, Lang Jiuchuan asked him back, "After what happened, Lord Shen, do you still say that there are no gods in the world?"

Shen Qinghe was slightly startled, stroking the official seal at hand, and shook his head after a while: "I always feel that there is no real God in the world, but it exists."

"Oh?"

"It exists in people's hearts." Shen Qinghe smiled faintly, "Many gods and Buddhas exist in the hearts of the world. They believe in it, and it exists because they have faith. It's like the Red Lotus Evil Statue. It's just that someone used the wrong means to defile it and turned it into an evil spirit."

Evil god, it's just a nicer word.

Lang Jiuchuan said: "My Lord, what you said sounds a bit like Buddhist philosophy. I believe you can have a good chat with the masters in the temple."

The corner of Shen Qinghe's mouth twitched slightly.

"You are right. The existence of God is in the human heart. As long as there are people who believe in it, it is there, just like the Buddha is in the heart." Lang Jiuchuan said: "The righteous path in the world is vicissitudes. You just need to remember this, sir." The righteous path in the world is vicissitudes.

Shen Qinghe pondered over this sentence and said, "How can you, a little girl, be so mature?"

What kind of life did this child live in the past?
Lang Jiuchuan smiled and said, "I have done my job for you, sir. You should exchange your reward."

Shen Qinghe froze, then closed his eyes, looking ready to die: "Go ahead."

Lang Jiuchuan smiled, flipped his hand, and the Judge's Pen appeared, carving on his forehead. Golden light fell into his body, and soon, a bone shadow with the same light golden color fell along the tip of the Judge's Pen, settled in an empty bone in her chest, and connected with the rest of the meridians.

The proud bones are strong and indestructible. With them, she is not afraid of the empty and helpless feeling in her chest.

Feeling the fullness of his chest, Lang Jiuchuan sighed with satisfaction.

This trip was fruitful and I made a lot of money!
"All right."

Shen Qinghe opened his eyes and pressed his chest subconsciously. He was not disemboweled and his bones were all fine. Was that all?
Was she trying to bluff him?

"Sir, you should be less angry in the future, relax, and eat more foods that nourish the blood, replenish qi, and protect the eyes. Keep a few handkerchiefs ready for everyday use." Lang Jiuchuan reminded kindly.

Shen Qinghe: “?”

Lang Jiuchuan didn't go into details, as he would soon understand anyway.

The carriage had already arrived at the Kaiping Marquis's residence. Shen Qinghe got off first and asked the maid to help her down. She said, "I'll take you here. When my son is well again, I'll bring him and my wife to thank you."

Lang Jiuchuan said: "It's okay if you don't come. Anyway, I have already received my reward. Let's say goodbye now."

She nodded and walked towards the mansion.

Shen Qinghe watched her enter the mansion before getting in the car and saying, "Let's go to Ci'en Temple."

He touched his chest and felt something was wrong, but he counted the bones carefully and found that none was missing, so what was proud bone?
The carriage left the city and stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Shen Qinghe's head hit the car wall.

"Sir, there is an old woman being beaten up ahead." The driver's words came over.

Shen Qinghe opened the car door and looked out. Sure enough, he saw an old woman in tattered clothes with a bruised face and a swollen nose being kicked away by a young man. She was crying and pounding the ground to accuse him.

What an unfilial son! She raised him with great difficulty, but he got married and forgot about his mother. He didn't care about her life or death. The couple even swindled her of her coffin money. It's unjust and against the law.

It really makes those who hear it sad and those who listen to it cry.

Shen Qinghe was very angry and said, "Catch him and hand him over to Jingzhao Division."

"Yes."

"My lord!" The maid looked at Shen Qinghe in astonishment and pointed at his face.

Shen Qinghe was stunned and touched his face. It was all wet, some of which fell to the corners of his mouth and tasted salty.

His eyes were sore and he kept shedding tears, especially when he heard the old woman's shrill cries, which made him feel even more sad. When he thought about how he would write the closing statement for the evil god case, his tears flowed even more violently and kept falling.

Bring a few extra handkerchiefs.

Lang Jiuchuan said so, so don’t get angry in the future.

Is this the reason why he cries when he sees something unfair and sad?
Shen Qinghe was panicked. Just imagine that if Shen Qingtian, the iron-faced judge, encountered injustice while trying cases and sentencing, and cried, how would that look?
If in the court...

He can't think about it, or he'll go crazy.

Shen Qinghe held his aching chest tightly. Is this the tragedy of losing one's pride and becoming a sissy?
Lang Jiuchuan, whom Shen Qinghe was secretly trying to find and kill, had just stood in Cui's yard. As soon as they met, she threw a copy of the Book of Filial Piety in her face.

"Kneeling down and reading in the ancestral hall, how can this be filial piety?" Cui asked coldly.
