Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

The three of them wandered around the alley and came to a dilapidated courtyard.

The patrolman pointed to the gate and said, "My lords, this is where Guo Er lives."

Seeing that the gate was locked, Lu Li did not enter the yard first.

Instead, he knocked on the door of the next yard. An old lady came out and looked at the three people in front of her with vigilance.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie. We want to ask you something."

Lu Li said with a smile.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. "If you want to know something, then you have come to the right person. There is nothing around here that I don't know. Who do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask about Guo Er next door."

"What's the matter? He has committed a crime. I don't think he is a good person. He sneaks around every day and sometimes brings people home in the middle of the night."

Lu Li could hear something different, "Auntie, how did you know he was going to take someone home in the middle of the night? Did you see it?"

"You don't have to see it. Have you seen this dog in my yard? It barks whenever there's any noise. Every time someone comes over there in the middle of the night, the dog barks."

The old lady pointed at the big yellow dog in the yard.

Lu Li finally asked, "Have you seen him during this period? I saw that he locked the door to his yard."

"The old lady shook her head," I haven't seen him for a while, and I haven't seen the light in his room in the evening."

Lu Li thanked the old lady and came to Guo Er's door, where he took off the lock with a single effort.

It was obvious that the yard had never been cleaned, and the weeds were taller than the feet.

The door was also locked, which was also broken by Lu Li.

Then Lu Li pushed open the door, and Taoist Qianhe also became alert.

The room was not big, and the bottom could be seen at a glance. There was a brick bed, a square table, and a few broken stools. Some clothes were scattered randomly on the bed.

Taoist Qianhe touched the teapot on the table and found fine dust.

"Nephew, it seems that no one has come back for some time, and the teapot is covered with dust."

Lu Li looked at every corner of the house. This man was very careful.

There was basically nothing left in the house. At this time, a jar in the corner caught Lu Li's attention.

The other jars were covered with a thick layer of dust, obviously not having been touched by their owners for a long time.

However, this jar does not have that much ash, which can only mean that the owner has used it to hold something recently.

Lu Li used a wooden stick to pry open the lid of the jar, but there was no mechanism.

It was empty inside, except for a layer of dark scab hanging on the wall of the jar. Lu Li gently scraped some off.

When I took a look at it in a bright place, I found that it was actually human blood. This color is only obtained when human blood is left for a long time.

Lu Li pondered over why Guo Er had a jar of human blood and where did the blood go.

Taoist Qianhe then shouted:

"Nephew, come and see, this wall shows traces of incense."

Lu Li walked to the wall and took a closer sniff. It was indeed the smell of incense. He had been in contact with this thing for many years and was very familiar with it.

Offering incense and human blood, that's right, this Guo Er is indeed a person who practices evil magic.

"Uncle Master, we made the right choice. This Guo Er is indeed problematic. He practices evil magic and uses human blood to feed evil spirits."

Taoist Qianhe was relieved. It was good to have a clue. But how to find this person?

Lu Li then expressed his guess.

"I guess this guy must have known that Feng Yuan was arrested by you. Based on their contact, it would be easy to trace him back, so he went to meet up with his accomplices overnight."

"Then how do we find him? The capital is so big, and the most worrying thing is that they have already fled the capital." Taoist Qianhe said worriedly.

Lu Li smiled confidently, "No, they are so confident of their skills that they won't leave easily before they get what they want. So they must still be hiding in the capital. I have a solution."

Lu Li casually picked up a piece of clothing draped on the kang.

Taoist Qianhe clapped his hands and said, "You need to use our Maoshan's Thousand Mile Tracking Technique."

"Yes, with this dress, we can find him as long as he is still in Beifu."

"Can we use the Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to find him with just the clothes but no tissue?"

Taoist Qianhe believed that he could not cast spells with his own magical powers without the other party's horoscope and blood.

"Don't worry, Uncle Master. There are ways to deal with the clothes, but I need to open the altar first."

"No problem. There's something where I live." Taoist Qianhe then asked the patrolman to leave, and he took Lu Li to the Taoist temple in the capital.

After instructing his disciples to prepare everything and light incense, Lu Li stood in front of the altar and first cut a paper man, then cut a piece of cloth from his clothes, and then began to cast a spell.

"The sky is clear and the earth is bright, all things have spirits, paper figures explore the way, and hold the pen to count."

Lu Li pointed his peach wood sword, and the paper man immediately stood up and reached out to pick up a pen.

Then he drew a talisman, rolled the cloth cut from his clothes into the talisman, and then lit it.

Throw it into the bowl mixed with cinnabar and rooster blood.

He dipped his finger in some water and dotted it on the paper man's head, then continued reading.

"The paper man is a spirit, looking for directions. He can tell the real from the fake, and write with spirit. Hurry up and obey the command!"

At this time, the paper man began to be drawn on the paper.

As the last stroke was completed, the paper figure began to burn.

Lu Li took the drawing paper and saw a line that turned many times and finally stopped at one place.

"Amazing! My nephew's magical power has become even stronger. He can even perform such a difficult tracking technique."

Taoist Qianhe, who had watched the whole process, naturally knew the energy consumption required to support the paper man's spiritual communication.

After marking the direction and distance, Lu Li picked up the map of Beijing for comparison and finally circled a place.

"Uncle Master, do you know where this place is?"

Taoist Qianhe took the map and waited to see the location marked on the map, then his pupils shrank.

"Nephew, are you sure the address is here?"

Lu Li nodded, "Sure, even if there is an error, it will definitely not exceed a hundred meters."

"A hundred meters, a hundred meters is not enough to even get out of his house." Taoist Qianhe said with a wry smile.

Lu Li was stunned, "Master, do you know where this is?"

"Of course I know. This is East 44th Alley, the Prince Su's Mansion." Taoist Qianhe's brows were filled with worry. This was a difficult situation.

It turned out to be him. Lu Li had studied history and naturally knew this Prince Su. The year before, the Qing royal family abdicated, and this person did not sign.

You may not know other things about him, but he has a famous daughter named Yoshiko Kawashima.

This woman was 6 years old last year and should have been given to the Japanese to be adopted.

He has always had a deep connection with the Fuso people, so it would not be surprising if it was him, Lu Li.

"Uncle Master, what's so difficult about this? We can go check it out at night and find out everything. Besides, this is no longer their world."

After hearing what Lu Li said, Taoist Qianhe felt relieved. Yes, the Qing Dynasty had fallen from power, so what was he afraid of?

I have been in the capital for many years and have become accustomed to following orders, so much so that I have developed a slave mentality over the years.

I am a Taoist priest, not a slave.

After he figured it out, Taoist Qianhe's temperament changed, and Lu Li seemed to see Taoist Qianhe who was playing in the peak competition.

"Congratulations, uncle-master, on your improvement!" Lu Li said with a smile and a bow.

Taoist Qianhe smiled bitterly.

"I also want to thank my junior brother for his enlightenment. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time improving my state of mind in this life. After ten years of training in the court, I have developed a slave mentality.

If it weren't for my nephew, I would not have seen through it. After finishing this matter, I will go back to Maoshan to practice well. "
