God Catch starts with adding points
Page 429
The main reason is that they had a good life in Qingxin Hall these years. All the tributes that the emperor gave to the Supreme Emperor in Qingxin Hall went to their stomachs. They felt that being the emperor's ancestors was much more interesting than burning Qingxin Hall.
Lu Bai was speechless, these ghosts are really powerful enough.
When Lu Bai was meditating, the City God also helped Lu Bai analyze, "Your Majesty, I guess the Peach Blossom Temple can't stand the loneliness. Since the master of the temple defected from the fairy gate, both the heaven and the below have neglected them at the same time. When the Peach Blossom Temple splits up again, Taohuaguan's strength has been greatly damaged, and its prestige in the court is gone. They are now letting the ghosts burn, obviously looking for something to do for themselves, so that the emperor can trust them again."
Chapter 4
Lu Bai had to admit that what Chenghuang said made sense.
Peach Blossom Temple is quite unpopular now, and the name of state religion is going to exist in name only.
If they really want to support themselves, subjugating demons and eliminating ghosts is undoubtedly the best method, but then again, if the Peach Blossom Temple cannot be supported, the fault is not the Peach Blossom Temple, but the defection of the Peach Blossom Temple master from the fairy sect. .
Then because of disagreements on the issue of practice, they went astray.
Now Taohuaguan can't soar, and it's useless to support it.
Lu Bai couldn't understand it.
However, the city god's words gave Lu Bai some inspiration. If the theft of the inner treasury is related to the fire in Qingxin Hall, then the Peach Blossom Temple used the city god to instigate the ghost of the palace maid to set fire for three consecutive years. There must be a big conspiracy behind it.
Lu Bai didn't know what the big conspiracy was, and he had to continue to investigate.
Thinking of this, Lu Bai's tone became gloomy, "Hmph! It's Taohua Temple again, it seems that it's not enough to stop them from ascending, they dare to make a mess, and now they are going to cut off the luck of the emperor! They are not afraid of the emperor's blame Come down, borrow Destiny's Child, let them fly away?"
He raised his head and looked at the city god, "You are collaborating with them, so you want to fight against the sky!"
Chenghuang shuddered in fright.
He hastily waved his hand: "My lord, I am wronged. Although the Peach Blossom Temple is now in decline, it still has the right to manage ghost affairs in the world, and the magic at hand restrains us. They have someone in your underworld. How dare we disobey them?" ?”
Then, he said with a sad face: "I don't know that letting a few female ghosts set fire will affect the luck of the royal family. It has been burned several times."
His last few words were spoken in a low voice.
Lu Bai's face softened slightly, "Hmph, if it weren't for the immortals of the Immortal Sword Sect not coming to the Central Plains, it would not have been the Taohuaguan's turn to be in charge of ghost affairs and demon affairs. Huh, fortunately, Destiny's Child has arrived."
He left one or two vague words, pretending to be mysterious, and the city god was stunned for a while.
Lu Bai continued: "I also know your difficulties, how about this, you tell me who instigated you in Taohuaguan, and I will go to him and talk to him personally."
"The Master of Peach Blossom Temple, Yuan Qi." Chenghuang happily sold the Master of Peach Blossom Temple.
Lu Bai was surprised, "Peach Blossom Temple Master did it himself?"
He glared at Chenghuang, "Peach Blossom Temple Master personally asked you to set fire, you think it is a trivial matter, but you dare to do it? You really don't know how to die!"
Chenghuang shrank his neck, thinking that if you ghosts haven't appeared for more than ten years, I don't listen to Taohuaguan.
"Okay, let's go." Lu Bai waved his hand impatiently.
He wasn't going to take City God away.
Until he finds out what the Peach Blossom Meditation is doing, Lu Bai should not startle the snake.
Chenghuang was eager to leave as soon as possible, after bowing to Lu Bai, his body spun around for a while, and then disappeared into the air.
Lu Bai took off his mask and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least the case of arson had been solved.
As for the theft from the inner vault
Lu Bai looked at the wet soil under his feet. This was simulated by his disciples, but there is space under the ground. When the rainwater seeps down, the ground will be slightly rough, not as smooth as the water on the flat ground.
From this point of view, there is a secret passage underground in the Hall of Pure Heart.
If this secret passage is used for the theft of the inner treasury, it would make sense, but if it is not, I have to go to the inner treasury tomorrow to take a look.
After Lu Bai made up his mind, he went back and fell asleep.
The next day.
After Lu Bai washed up, he went to the palace.
The emperor asked him to thoroughly investigate the fire case of Qingxin Hall, and now he has a reason to enter the palace.
After Lu Bai entered the palace, he directly asked the little eunuch to invite the big eunuch over.
After he stood and lingered on the ruins for a quarter of an hour, the Great Eunuch Bai came over panting, and he asked Lu Bai, "Lord Lu, what's the matter with you, I'm busy here."
"How is the emperor?" Lu Bai was not in a hurry.
"I'm busy with this matter. The emperor has been angry since yesterday, and he has chopped off more than 100 bald heads. Now no one dares to serve the emperor, so I can persuade the emperor with a few words, He can listen to it so that he won't cut off the old slave's head."
He urged Lu Bai to speak quickly, now a quarter of an hour is equivalent to a human head.
Lu Bai was surprised, with more than 100 heads, the emperor is about to catch up with his reputation as an executioner, "Okay, then I'll make a long story short, I have already figured out the arson case, I have to stay in the palace to catch the murderer at night"
Lu Bai smiled brightly at Eunuch Bai, "Since what you said in front of the emperor, Lao Bai, you can report it for me, so that I won't touch the emperor's brow."
The eunuch Bai was no longer in a hurry, but looked at Lu Bai in surprise, "Already, have you found out?"
Lu Bai nodded.
He didn't talk about the case, but said: "Old Bai, as a subject, I naturally have to share the emperor's worries. It's still early, why don't you find someone to take me to the inner treasury, in case I can also get the inner treasury Has the case been solved?"
Eunuch Bai nodded after pondering for a while, "That's fine."
He didn't bother to ask Lu Bai how the fire case was solved, so he called a little eunuch to come over to get his token, and after asking the little eunuch to take Lu Bai to the inner treasury, the big eunuch hurried back to the emperor .
If you want to enter the inner treasury, you have to pass through the huge harem, and it is generally inconvenient for outsiders to walk, but fortunately, with the token of the eunuch Bai, Lu Bai and the others can go all the way without hindrance, "It seems that Lao Bai has a very high status in the palace. " Lu Bai said with emotion.
The little eunuch smiled, "Of course, Eunuch Bai is a celebrity by the emperor's side. Eunuch Bai was by the emperor's side when the emperor was young."
"Oh, Eunuch Bai has served the emperor?" Lu Bai asked.
The little eunuch nodded, "It's not a big deal. I heard people say that when the emperor was young, it was hard for anyone to coax him. As soon as Eunuch Bai appeared, the emperor immediately became happy, and he had to take care of everything such as food and clothing."
"I see." Lu Bai understood.
It seems that this father-in-law and the other father-in-laws are not following the same route. Eunuch Bai is following the route of the emperor, while the other father-in-laws are following the route of cultivation, which is fine.
"How is Eunuch Bai's cultivation?" Lu Bai asked again.
The little eunuch shook his head, but continued: "It shouldn't be too bad. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he ordered an old ancestor in Neishutang to accept Eunuch Bai as an apprentice. He has a famous teacher, and his level must not be lowered."
"Why, haven't you seen Eunuch Bai make a move?" Lu Bai asked.
The little eunuch shook his head.
Lu Bai didn't ask any more questions, it was just a small talk, and he was really curious about Eunuch Bai.This eunuch Bai is very attractive to him, when he is with him, he is served very well, no wonder the emperor likes this person to serve him.
After a while of silence, the two quickly arrived at the inner library.
A new group of guards has been guarding the inner library. The leader of the guards is a middle-aged man with a beard. Judging from the bulging muscles in his chest, he must be a brave and skilled fighter sent by the military.
However, he is not really in charge, but an old eunuch.
This old eunuch is very old, as thin as a stick of firewood, but his status cannot be lost. Hearing the little eunuch muttering in a low voice, this old eunuch is the elder of Neishutang, and his realm is in the half fairyland.
It turned out that the inner treasury was stolen, and the inner library, which guards the palace and the emperor, is also to blame.
You can steal money today, steal people tomorrow, and assassinate the emperor the day after tomorrow.
Although the emperor did not explicitly reprimand Nei Shutang, he secretly blamed Nei Shutang. In order to atone for his crimes, Nei Shutang sent this expert.
It's just that investigating a case is not a fight. Putting such a person in the inner warehouse still can't find anything.
What's more, the old eunuch's energy is not on investigating the case.
He had been sitting cross-legged and practicing, after Lu Bai explained his background, he just opened his eyes and looked at the token in the eunuch's hand, nodded his head imperceptibly, and then closed his eyes to practice again.
The guard leader came up at this time and personally led Lu Bai into the inner vault.
The inner library is heavily guarded.
After pushing open the tall door leaf, a straight corridor appeared behind the door, more than one foot wide and tens of feet deep, paved with bluestone bricks, leading to the east wall.Both sides of the corridor are green and gray courtyard walls, and there is a black-painted hidden door every few dozen steps. Two guards with guns are guarding in front of each door, and several teams of guards are patrolling back and forth.Looking at the past, it was empty and cold in the drizzle.
After Lu Bai and the others walked in, the footsteps were extremely loud.
The bearded leader told Lu Bai that the inner library is structured in Chinese characters, with a circle of guarded darkrooms outside and an inner library in the middle. Only this corridor can lead from the gate to the inner library.
As for climbing over the wall in the air
The bearded leader said that the outside is inside, guarded by the forbidden army, and protected by the inner academy, so if there is any trouble, you should be aware of it.
Unfortunately, the silver is still gone.
The bearded leader sighed, "It's like hell. Fortunately, we are not in charge of this. If we were in charge, our heads would have to be moved."
Apparently, he didn't think he could handle this unbelievable silver theft.
Lu Bai didn't answer, he was looking around all the time.
Seeing that the scene had calmed down, he asked, "Nekuli, it's business as usual."
The bearded leader nodded, "In order to find out who stole the silver, we will do everything as usual, so as not to cover up any clues."
"That's good." Lu Bai nodded.
The door of the inner vault was quickly opened, and a rotten smell rushed over.
After walking in and taking a look, the damp and moldy smell in the warehouse became more intense, and water accumulated on the ground, and it almost submerged the ankles when one stepped on it.Lu Bai looked up, and there were indeed several big holes in the roof, and the rain was still falling into the inner warehouse.
"This internal library has been in disrepair for a long time, so no one came to repair it?" Lu Bai asked.
The bearded leader said: "It's been repaired, it's been repaired, but I don't know when the hole guard will appear."
The emperor cherished his silver very much. In order to prevent the guards from stealing, opening the inner treasury required very strict procedures. Even on daily patrols, the guards were not allowed to get too close.
"If it wasn't for the recent rain, the water flowed out of the warehouse door, and I had to open the door to check, maybe I wouldn't have found it." The bearded leader said.
Besides, there are people from Neishutang guarding the sky, and they never thought that someone would break through the roof.
"Where are these seals?" Lu Bai looked at the countless silver boxes, "Is the seal on this box the original seal?"
The bearded leader nodded.
These they have repeatedly confirmed, it is the original seal, which is why they feel the hell.
Lu Bai frowned when he heard the words, thinking that this was a bit unbelievable.
As he approached, he pried open a box without waiting for the bearded man to stop him. The inside of the box was empty, and the seal was broken with no trace of splicing. It seemed that it was indeed the original seal, but the inside of the box was empty.
"What kind of technique is this?" Lu Bai couldn't figure it out, could it be to get something from a distance?
Lu Bai can now use the spell of fetching objects from a distance, and he also has a way to take out the silver without going through the box and breaking the seal, but it will take a long time, especially in the face of so many boxes of silver.
This cannot be accomplished overnight.
More importantly, it had to be close enough, and it was very difficult not to be discovered when using such spells in the palace.
Immediately, Lu Bai thought of authenticity.
If the tunnel is used, it may be possible.
So he carefully searched the inner vault several times back and forth, but he couldn't find any trace of a secret passage.
"Strange, did the ghost really move away?" Lu Bai muttered in his heart.
He couldn't figure it out.
However, Lu Bai has always pursued a strategy, that is, as long as solving a case is a process of trial and error, as long as you keep making mistakes, you will find the correct answer one day. Maybe failure is the mother of success.
Lu Bai decided to give up all the clues here, and return to the ruins of Qingxin Palace from his heart.
If you want to know if this case is related to that tunnel, you can just go down and walk there.
As soon as he cleared his mind, the eunuch Bai sent someone to invite him, saying that the emperor heard that Lu Bai had solved the case, and finally heard some good news, so he asked Lu Bai to come over and talk about it.
Lu Bai had no choice but to go.
Along the way, he kept pondering whether he should tell the emperor what Taohuaguan and others were doing.
After thinking about it, Lu Bai gave up again. The fact that he pretended to be a judge was not enough to tell outsiders, and he didn't have any evidence at hand to prove that he was instigated by Taohuaguan, so let's not talk about it.
There is also the matter of setting fire to the Qingxin Hall by ghosts.
Lu Bai could have said it, but he was afraid that the emperor would hand over the task of collecting ghosts to the Taoist priests of Taohua Temple.
Isn't this rushing to let Taohua Temple destroy the evidence?
After thinking about it, Lu Bai decided to make a fool of himself. Therefore, after seeing the emperor, Lu Bai did not bluntly tell him that the case had been solved. He only said that the clues could be completed by one link, and his guess would be verified in the evening. He then told the emperor the truth.
The emperor was not interested.
