Minglong

Chapter 27 This is called professionalism

The Danyang Academy is located on the side of the palace. The entrance is an octagonal archway. Behind it are a group of buildings, and countless students can be seen walking around. Quarterly exams are still being held in a building outside.

Li Jing, the director of the Imperial Academy, was a Confucian scholar who was proficient in both civil and military affairs. At this time, he moved a throne and sat outside the examination room, drinking tea and supervising the exam.

Behind the chair, there was a delicate young lady, holding the backrest and looking curiously. Behind her was a charming beauty with a green veil covering her face, saying:

"Zi Su, be obedient, you're already late!"

"I'm just taking a look, Old Man Li, please say hello for me later."

"How dare you! You should call me Senior Li!"

"Haha, no problem..."

……

The current military academy examination involves on-site casting of weapons.

Because the test questions were quite difficult, there were occasional flashes of fire, smoke and roars in the hot examination room, attracting countless curious students to watch.

Lin Wanyi sent Zisu to school, but Zisu found out that the Military Academy was holding an exam and refused to move. She hasn't reported yet. She couldn't help feeling hopeless and wanted to spank this naughty girl in public.

But since Senior Li Jing was sitting here, she couldn't lose her parental demeanor and could only say:

"Then go in by yourself later. If the teacher punishes you, don't complain to me when you come back."

Lin Zisu grabbed the back of the armchair and responded without blinking:
"It's okay, Old Man Li is here."

"Alas...don't forget about refining the elixir!"

"I know. I'll go say hello and get the note in a moment."

"Ugh……"

Lin Wanyi had no choice but to leave Zi Su behind and get on the carriage back alone.

Finally calming down, she couldn't help but think of yesterday's bizarre experience.

At this moment, she still didn't understand why she fell asleep in the bathtub yesterday, and she had some strange dreams that seemed real and unreal.

In the dream, she was a completely different person. Her words and actions were as coquettish as those bad sisters on Wencheng Street. It seemed like she wanted to eat Xie Jinhuan...

Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?

Or the beginning of love...

spit……

While he was daydreaming like this, he didn't know how far the carriage had traveled. Before it reached the clinic, Jia Zheng's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage:
"Hey~ Master Xie, are you going to the clinic?"

"Yes, Doctor Lin is in the car?"

"here I am."

……

Hearing Xie Jinhuan's voice, Lin Wanyi quickly put away her distracting thoughts. Before she could lift the curtain to look inside, she noticed that the carriage had sunk.

crunch~

Then the young man in brocade robe came in, followed closely by the big coal ball, who also said hello:

"Guji~"

Lin Wanyi wanted to say hello, but Xie Jinhuan was dressed up so nicely today that she was stunned for a moment:
"You look like this...are you planning to go on a blind date?"

Blind date?

Xie Jinhuan sat down by the car window, feeling somewhat amused:

"What? Are you planning to go on a blind date too?"

Lin Wanyi certainly couldn't wear just any skirt today, as she needed to match her thirty-liang suit. She was wearing a light green waist-length skirt, a red hairpin in her delicate bun, and gold-rimmed glasses. She looked intellectual and dignified, but her slender waist, the full and straight collar of her dress, and her impressive waist-to-hip ratio made her extremely attractive to the opposite sex.

Lin Wanyi was not in a position to comment on this joke:

"You're here to ask about the elixir? Zi Su has already gone to get the note, and we can start refining the elixir this afternoon."

Xie Jinhuan shook his head. The matter was urgent and he didn't bother with any more formalities. He got straight to the point and said:

"I want to ask you something. I just saw a body in the government office. It was covered in holes. It must have been caused by the 'Guhua'. Do you know anything about this?"

Lin Wanyi herself is a core member of the Gu Du Sect. Although she doesn't dare to poison others, she knows all the methods of raising Gu. She can even poison a man with the 'love Gu' that will make him loyal to her. Asking her these things is just asking about her old skills, isn't it?
Lin Wanyi glanced outside first, making sure Jia Zheng wasn't eavesdropping before moving closer and saying,
"Are you sure it's a Gu Flower? What kind?"

Xie Jinhuan shook his head. "The deceased was fished out of the river, and was severely decomposed. I can only confirm the presence of corpse flies and that dragon beard grass was used. The specific type of poisonous flower that killed him is still unknown."

When Lin Wanyi heard this, she thought about it carefully:
"Natural Gu Flowers are almost impossible to find. There are currently seventeen types of artificially cultivated Gu Flowers, all of which are the core Gu techniques of the major sects.

"Among them, there are seven types of Gu flowers that use living people as nutrients, that is, they use 'corpse flies'. There are also two types that can use dragon beard grass, both of which are related to 'spirit': the 'Crazy Corpse Flower' and the 'Soul-Calming Grass'."

Seeing that Lady Lin knew so much, Xie Jinhuan knew he had come to the right place:

"Which one do you think it is?"

Lin Wanyi rubbed the coal ball that was shaking its head:
"Soul-soothing grass only grows in extremely cold and gloomy places, and it cannot be grown in Danzhou. If the demon bandits want to use local materials to raise Gu, they can only use crazy corpse flowers.

"The Crazy Corpse Flower grows in a very dangerous place, surrounded by corpses. Its essence and blood nourish it and it matures. Its fragrance can drive people crazy. After a hundred years of growth, it will transform into a flower demon.

"Nanjiang Linglu Valley once developed a method for cultivating plants. Using humans as nurseries and livestock carcasses for warming, they can bloom in seven days..."

Xie Jinhuan listened quietly and nodded thoughtfully:
"If I wanted to raise a crazy corpse flower in Danyang, where would I choose?"

Lin Wanyi thought for a moment, but before she could respond, the omnipresent red-dressed ghost appeared and sat down in front of her:

"There are a lot of livestock carcasses around here, and the smell is impossible to conceal. They can't be in the city. The carcasses can also be used as nutrients after planting flowers, so they won't be discarded. The carcasses appeared by the river, which means the location is connected to the waterway. Search upstream along the Huai River. I will help you as an advisor and search for places with heavy Yin energy. It won't be difficult to find them."

Xie Jinhuan looked at the two beautiful beauties sitting side by side in the carriage and suddenly fell silent.

Lin Wanyi pondered secretly and realized that Xie Jinhuan's gaze was not in the right direction. She turned her head and looked at the empty side of her body, wondering:

"What are you looking at?"

"Oh... nothing, I was distracted."

Xie Jinhuan tried his best not to compare the two beauties to see who was more curvaceous and voluptuous, and turned his gaze elsewhere:

"I suddenly thought of a clue. I have to go out of the city. Bye bye."

Lin Wanyi still expected Xie Jinhuan to be the two-headed dragon that connected her to the Martial Arts Divine Canon. Seeing Xie Jinhuan rashly preparing to slay demons and monsters, she reminded him:

"A wizard who can refine Guhua must be at least at the third level of Taoism. You're just a warrior, and you'll die if you meet one. If you have any clues, it's best to report them to the government."

Xie Jinhuan knew the seriousness of the matter, but he still had to find an opportunity to sacrifice his fellow Taoist!
As long as he finds a place where flowers are grown, he will think of a way to forge some evidence, frame the evil spirit of Zihui Mountain on himself, and then let the government investigate. Wouldn't Daqian's iron fist strike the evil bandit on the head?

For this reason, he definitely couldn't call the government officials. He thought about it and responded:

"The government office is busy with official business, so I can't be sure right now. I'd better investigate on my own first. Even if I encounter a strong enemy, I still have a chance to escape."

Lin Wanyi was a little worried that something might happen to the two-headed dragon outside, so she could only say:
"I'll go with you. You don't understand the ins and outs of witchcraft, so I'll be on the safe side."

Xie Jinhuan didn't really know much about the secret techniques of witchcraft, so having an expert by his side would obviously make things easier. He considered for a moment:
"How is Miss Lin's cultivation? Will she not be a drag?"

Lin Wanyi held up her bulging capital with a proud look on her face:

"I just don't feel comfortable taking action, not that I don't know how. With your limited skills, you wouldn't last more than a single blow in a real fight."

The man in red sitting next to her probably thought Lin Wanyi was showing off, so he also straightened his clothes to compare.

In the end, it really was the Night Big Succubus who pinched her plump body. I wonder if she was cheating with the illusion...

Xie Jinhuan's eyes were covered by the heavy weight, and his thoughts were not clear. Seeing that his wife had asked him to bring a spare, he didn't say anything more. He found an excuse to send Jia Zheng away and headed out of the city...
