No taboos

Chapter 137 Ghost Yarn Tent (asking for monthly ticket)
Jiaozhi's hot and humid climate was perfect for a "little dragon" to live in. Therefore, over the years, officials in the yamen who had mastered the "Dragon Transformation Method" to this level would try their best to transfer here for a period of time.

"Tell me what happened." The woman instructed calmly.

The two of them spoke carefully. The woman closed the music sheet, her pretty eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the gray-blue hue in her jujube-shaped eyes shifted like clouds and mist. "That Inspector Xu was so easy to capture you two fools?"

The two men lowered their heads and said, "We are ashamed."

"Hmph." The woman snorted in dissatisfaction, "What a waste! If you two really dare to risk it and let him beat you up, I'll have an excuse to intervene directly!

Now, we really can only wait for three more days."

The two were stunned: "Sir, is it too much to fight with the people from the Extermination Bureau in the street..."

"That's why you are stupid." The woman held her forehead with her hand and shook her head.

I let you guys go and provoke them. It's normal for the Extermination Bureau to be tied up. What are you doing worrying about this and that?!
"Get out." The woman looked at the two men with annoyance, and they hurriedly said goodbye.

The woman sighed helplessly, unfolded the music sheet again, and plucked the strings twice.

"He's a bit clever, but the Champa Agency is so deep. In three days... he won't be able to break the situation."

"Then I can legitimately intervene."

"After three years, I can finally dominate Champa!"

Dragons are domineering and will not tolerate any other strong people in their territory.

……

Xu Yuan turned a corner and asked Lang Xiaoba, "What's going on with the Mountain and River Division?"

"Ah?" Lang Xiaoba was distracted.

"I'm asking you what's going on with the Mountain and River Division. Why are they deliberately provoking us?"

Lang Xiaoba was distracted just now and was very surprised that Xu Yuan would help Zhou Leizi and the others.

It can be said that starting from yesterday, the attitude of the Champa Office towards Xu Yuan and his four companions turned to rejection.

Lang Xiaoba asked himself, if it were him, he would not have such a vision.

He will definitely stand aside with his arms folded and watch the joke.

Make a decision.

Lang Xiaoba felt a little ashamed. He thought that the other person was so young but could become a deputy inspector and was valued by the commander. He was indeed not someone he could compare to.

Xu Yuan asked again, and Lang Xiaoba humphed and replied, "Those people from the Mountain and River Division are too overbearing.

In the past few years, they have been marginalizing our Champa Office, always trying to get their hands on our responsibilities under various pretexts.

That local female attorney is truly greedy. With her backing, the Mountain and River Division has had numerous conflicts with us in the past."

Lang Xiaoba paused, looked around, and whispered, "I heard someone died at the Extermination Bureau last night! Although they tried their best to conceal it, some information still leaked out. I think it was most likely the work of that evil spirit!"

Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat: Killing someone from the Mountain and River Division? Wouldn't this just give the Mountain and Sea Division an excuse to intervene in this case?

For some reason, after Lang Xiaoba shared this "good news," the inspector's expression suddenly turned grim. He had originally told him this news in the hope of smoothing things over with him, but now he was feeling awkward, unable to figure out what he had done wrong...

Xu Yuan nodded and said, "If you have similar news in the future, please let me know immediately."

Lang Xiaoba breathed a sigh of relief: "As you wish."

This time, Song Lu led the way. Her family elder had told her in a letter that they would stay at the "Yuemanlou" Inn.

Also in the north of the city.

They found the inn and asked the waiter, who smiled and said, "Follow me, everyone. The guest has already been instructed to take the distinguished guests directly when they arrive."

This "Moon Full House" was even more upscale than the one Xu Yuan and his group had stayed at last night. It had three stories in the front and a large courtyard in the back, divided into seven separate courtyards of varying styles. Each courtyard also had a small wooden building.

After entering the small courtyard, Song Lu shouted happily, "Fifth Aunt, I'm here to see you."

A woman in her forties walked out of the building upon hearing the sound. Seeing Song Lu, she smiled kindly, "Come in quickly, let me see if our little reed flowers have grown beautiful again."

Song Lu hadn't seen his family for a long time. He hugged his aunt's arm and talked affectionately about how hard he worked in the Extermination of Filth Department.

Fifth Aunt just listened with a smile.

After they reminisced for a while, Xu Yuan coughed, and Song Lu slapped his forehead: "I was so busy talking to Fifth Aunt that I forgot to introduce her to you."

Song Lu introduced both parties.

Fifth Aunt treated everyone equally with a smile.

Although Xu Yuan was highly regarded by Ma Tianshou and could be described as a "young and promising man", he was obviously not important enough to attract the attention of powerful figures from big families.

After Song Lu finished the introduction, he said, "Fifth Aunt, we need your help with something."

Fifth Aunt asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Xu Yuan took out the fishy wrapper and said, "Senior, please help me take a look. What on earth is this?"

When Wu Gu opened it, the black mesh-like filaments inside rushed out with a whoosh!
It was still full of evil, like a strange insect, flying and crawling to pounce on Fifth Aunt's hand.

Fifth Aunt snorted coldly and quickly wrote the word "牢" (prison) in the air with her finger.

The outlined strokes triggered an inexplicable force, easily trapping the mesh filaments in a space only the size of a fist.

The thin thread was violent and ferocious, constantly colliding, but was always bounced back by an invisible barrier.

The Fifth Aunt observed intently and asked doubtfully, "This is... a ghost gauze tent!"

Song Lu looked confused: What is that?
Yu Yunhang had only heard of the "Green Gauze Tent". According to his colleagues in the north, it was a very convenient and good place.

Fu Jingyu remembered that he seemed to have seen this name in a notebook of a senior, but he could not remember the details.

Xu Yuan had already remembered what his father had said to him: "Can this thing control people without them even noticing?"

Wu Gu nodded seriously. "Once covered by this thing, you become 'a person in a tent.' It's completely invisible from the outside, but it silently sneaks into your body, covering your flesh, blood, internal organs, and bones. All your actions will be subject to the command of others!"

Even in the end, the whole brain is covered and even one's own thoughts are controlled. One will completely forget that he is a puppet and think that everything he does is based on his own will!
Even certain methods designed specifically to detect lies cannot detect them.”

Song Lu was shocked: "This evil spirit is so powerful!"

The Fifth Aunt shook her head: "This thing is not evil."

"Isn't it evil?!"

"This thing is a method used by practitioners of magic," said Wu Gu. "This kind of practice is called 'female weaving.' Using ghosts as materials, they weave various things. The ghost yarn tent is one of them, and it's extremely difficult."

Those with low skills can only weave some "ghost ropes" and "ghost coats".

Not only is Faxiu in internal chaos, but it is also not welcomed by the other six major sects.

This is because there are many practitioners who "overstep the line".

The practitioners who practiced the female weaving method would compete with the gods for the ghosts.

There are many similar situations.

Fu Jingyu said in a deep voice: "The evil incidents in Champa are man-made disasters!"

　Every clue is useful, not only for the case, but also for paving the way for later plots.
