Catching Monsters

Chapter 60 Phantom Sound
Hearing the words "prefectural master", Qian Buchou quietly sat back in his chair: "Then let Miss Qian'er accompany the prefectural master. In addition, I will pay for the prefect's consumption today."

"Okay, Mr. Qian." The old man had a smile on his face. He nodded respectfully and agreed, then left the room.

Soon, a variety of delicious dishes were served on the table.

A girl was squatting at Jiang Yun's feet, washing his feet.

On one side, there was a girl massaging her legs.

Open your mouth and a girl will feed you.

Taoism is not as extreme as Buddhism.

Buddhism emphasizes that the four elements are empty and that one should be free from desires and demands. According to Jiang Yun's understanding, isn't that tantamount to destroying human nature?

Completely suppress all kinds of human nature.

Taoists pursue unity with the Tao, follow the laws, and do what they want.

Jiang Yun did appreciate beauty.

It is human nature to appreciate beautiful things and there is no need to suppress it.

However, Jiang Yun felt uncomfortable about this, as he had spent most of his time practicing in a Taoist temple in his previous life.

The girl hadn’t seen much, let alone the scene before her.

Qian Buchou, on the other hand, seemed to be feeling very comfortable and was almost at the stage of drinking the wedding wine with the beautiful girl next to him.

If the purpose of this trip was not to accompany Xu Xiaogang to investigate the case.

Qian Buchou might have already taken the girl to the fourth floor to have a frank meeting.

Xu Xiaogang wore a face scarf and didn't dare to take it off...

After an incense stick of time, the old man came into the room and reminded: "Master Qian, Miss Qian'er will play the piano later..."

"Okay, let these girls go out." Qian Buchou took a deep breath, feeling a little reluctant as the girls who served him left.

We also agreed to come and see her next time.

After all the girls left, the three of them came to the window and looked down. They saw that the downstairs had become lively.

The seats below were packed.

Miss Qian'er's reputation has spread throughout Nanzhou Prefecture, and many dignitaries have rushed here to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

The windows of other VIP rooms on the third floor were also opened one by one.

Qian Buchou looked through the windows on the third floor and whispered, "All the important people in Nanzhou Prefecture are here."

Qian Buchou introduced Jiang Yun and said, "The prefect, the associate prefect, the assistant judge, and the one across from them are all among the richest masters in our Nanzhou Prefecture."

Jiang Yun followed his words and looked into the rooms, but he felt something was wrong.

He asked Xu Xiaogang in a deep voice: "Tell me, if this Miss Qian'er is really an evil person, why did she come here and attract so many local dignitaries? What is her purpose?"

Xu Xiaogang frowned and touched his chin, looking thoughtful: "I can't figure it out. It's impossible to kill all these gentlemen."

"Others are easy to deal with, but the prefect is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. Unless these evil people want to rebel, they dare not touch a fourth-rank official."

After hearing what Xu Xiaogang said, Jiang Yun suddenly felt that things might not be as simple as he had imagined.

After Xu Xiaogang finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Yun.

"Oops!"

Jiang Yun lowered his voice and hurriedly said to Qian Buchou: "Old Qian, go inform the prefect, the deputy prefect, and the judge to leave here first."

Qian Buchou's expression also changed, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

If all these masters died here tonight...

Qian Buchou hurriedly turned around and walked out.

In the next room not far away, the prefect Zhang Wenqi was sitting by the window, holding a pink scarf in his hand.

The scarf still exudes the fragrance of Miss Qian'er.

Zhang Wenqi would put the silk scarf next to his nose from time to time and sniff it, his eyes filled with an intoxicated look.

Just now, Miss Qian'er came to his room and sat for a while. She was really a beauty, a face that could overturn a country and a city. Zhang Wenqi originally wanted to have an in-depth exchange with Miss Qian'er right away.

But Miss Qian'er claimed that she would still play the piano later and asked the prefect to wait for a moment.

Finally, she left him a silk scarf so that he could remember her by looking at it.

"This little devil really makes me itchy." Zhang Wenqi sighed as he smelled the fragrance on the scarf.

Just then, the door slammed open.

"Captain Qian, you are here too?" Zhang Wenqi smiled when he saw the person coming.

Of course he knew that all the dignitaries from the entire Nanzhou Prefecture came here.

If the prince of Su Palace was still alive, Miss Qian'er might have married another family, but something happened in Su Palace.

Tonight, he, Zhang Wenqi, is the most powerful person present.

He is determined to win Miss Qian'er.

Qian Buchou hurriedly came to his side and whispered, "Master Xu is here today, too."

Hearing this first sentence, Zhang Wenqi frowned immediately.

"He is here to investigate a case. Miss Qian'er is very likely a wanted criminal of the Imperial Guards, and..."

After hearing this, Zhang Wenqi's face changed and he quickly threw away the scarf in his hand.

He is just lustful, but not stupid. It is a big deal if he has any relationship with the wanted criminal of Jinyiwei.

"Let's go." Zhang Wenqi hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, there was an even louder booing from below.

A beautiful girl in purple gauze has walked onto the platform on the first floor.

Jiang Yun followed the direction of her gaze, and even though she was far away, he could still see that the woman was indeed stunningly beautiful.

A nine-stringed harp had been placed on the stage. The girl slowly sat in front of the harp, a smile appeared on her face, she stretched out her fingers, and slowly began to play.

"it is good!"

There was an immediate booing from the audience.

"Is it her?" Jiang Yun turned his head and asked.

"Yes." Xu Xiaogang frowned and nodded heavily. He grasped the sword at his waist and was about to jump down and capture her.

As Jiang Yun listened to the piano, he suddenly felt dizzy.

His face changed, and he quickly turned to look at Xu Xiaogang: "Don't listen, this is an illusion, cover your ears."

But it's too late.

The sound of the piano was as melodious as flowing water, clear and pleasant to the ears. Xu Xiaogang's eyes were already a little blurred.

Jiang Yun quickly put his finger on his forehead and said in a deep voice:
'When the mind and spirit are united, the qi should follow each other, and when they are in harmony, they will not be startled by any changes.'

'No delusion, no anger, no desire, no seeking, no giving up, no abandonment, no action, no self.'

The Taoist Heart Cleansing Technique, in addition to being used for cultivation, can also stabilize the mind.

Jiang Yun listened to the phantom sound in his ears and kept reciting the Qingxin Jue.

Soon, Xu Xiaogang, who was standing next to him, regained consciousness.

The two of them hurriedly looked down and saw everyone present.

No matter if they were guests of Weichunlou, girls, pimps, everyone's eyes were blurred.

Miss Qian'er, who was sitting on the stage, smiled even more brightly when she saw the scene in front of her.

Soon, everyone on the second and third floors were mesmerized by the sound of the piano, their eyes blurred, and they came to the first floor as if they were being controlled.

Among them, there were Qian Buchou, Zhang Wenqi and other Nanzhou officials who wanted to escape but had not yet left...
