Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 148: Xuguzi's magic, Wu Chengsi comes to the crimson tent

The position of National Master of the Great Zhou was established a year ago.

The reason why Wu Zetian chose Wang Zhiyuan was because this man had considerable abilities.

What is he capable of?

As a Taoist priest, he could observe the stars, flatter, and curry favor with the Emperor.

I still remember that when Wang Zhiyuan first entered the palace, he praised Wu Zetian harshly.

That day, in the Taiji Hall, Wang Zhiyuan said this in front of all the civil and military officials:

"Your Majesty is the figure of a dragon and a phoenix, the symbol of the sun and the sky, the faith of the people, the heart of the world, the submission of the four seas. Looking around, all are subjects of our Great Zhou. Looking around, the four barbarians bow their heads, and no one in the world dares not to serve our king, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou!"

"I, the old Taoist Wang Zhiyuan, studied under Taoist Master Xuguzi of Shouyang Mountain in the past and learned a lot of skills. After going down the mountain, I became the abbot of Zixia Temple. Although I dare not say that my abilities are different from ordinary people, I dare say that not everyone can have the ability of me, Wang Zhiyuan."

"A few days ago, I was observing the sky in the temple at night and saw that the Purple Star was getting brighter and brighter. I knew that your majesty's power should be comparable to the saints of the past and present. I came to Chang'an to admire your majesty's glory. If your majesty agrees, I am willing to accompany your majesty in the palace and always admire your majesty's dragon luck."

Wu Zetian was originally quite wary of gods and ghosts. When she heard that Wang Zhiyuan was taught by Xuguzi from Shouyang Mountain, and then heard about the bright Purple Star and the dragon's luck, she became more and more satisfied.

Therefore, once Wu Zetian was satisfied, Wang Zhiyuan was promoted to the position of imperial teacher.

No one knows what abilities this national teacher has, but he is the national teacher now and has a mansion of his own.

If we talk about what Wang Zhiyuan, the national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can do... actually there is only one thing, that is, stargazing and magic.

Wang Zhiyuan practiced in seclusion in Shouyang Mountain for many years, and the only two skills he learned from Xuguzi were stargazing and magic.

As the name suggests, stargazing means looking at the stars and judging the rise and fall of a country from the changes in the stars.

Spells and magic, the proper name for this thing should be magic.

Wang Zhiyuan once showed off his trick of reaching into the oil pan with one hand. Li Cunxi had known this trick for a long time, but Li Cunxi didn't know whether people of that era knew it or not.

Of course, as Wang Zhiyuan's teacher, Xuguzi's abilities, in addition to his extraordinary wisdom, also include some abilities that others are not aware of.

Xuguzi had never demonstrated those abilities before.

Today, looking at Princess Taiping kneeling in front of him, still struggling to raise and lower her head, Xuguzi decided to show her his skills.

So, Xuguzi coughed lightly, stretched out one hand, and suddenly swung the whisk in his hand backwards. Dozens of talismans appeared out of thin air and flew in all directions of the main hall.

When Princess Taiping saw this scene, she did not continue to move, but instead supported herself to get up and looked at the talismans flying in all directions.

Those talismans floated in the air, and the next second, they spontaneously combusted without any fire, turning into piles of ashes that were blown away by the wind.

"This this……"

Without any ambiguity, Xuguzi grinned and waved his hand again. Countless talismans appeared out of thin air and flew all over the sky.

These talismans did not spontaneously combust, but instead floated away randomly.

Soon, a talisman fell to the ground and began to melt!

"This is again..."

Princess Taiping could no longer close her mouth.

What kind of ability is this!

Summon talismans out of thin air.

This is an amazing ability!

"Master!" Princess Taiping shouted.

"Kneel down and continue." Xuguzi said proudly.

"You must help me. If you don't help me, what should I do in the future?" Princess Taiping really knelt down on her knees and resumed the action that she had not yet finished.

"Don't worry, I will help you."

"Of course you have to help me, Taoist priest! With a national player like you, how can I not be able to defeat them?"

……

Jiangzhang County, the coroner's room.

Li Cunxi came to the room where the murder weapon found at the crime scene was stored and took a dart from a coroner.

"Because it concerns Lord Di, I remember the coroner's autopsy and the weapons at the scene that day quite clearly."

"There is a dart like this one. It is not poisonous. The reason for paying attention to it is that all the weapons left at the scene are in batches, but there is no comparison object for this dart."

Half of Hu Youde's face was swollen, but he was still explaining diligently.

"We also found a hidden arrow at the scene."

Hu Youde picked up the sleeve arrow and the empty sleeve arrow tube beside him.

"This quiver was found on one of the bodies. There were only a few bodies with quivers, and only this one had fired an arrow."

"So I concluded that this quiver had fired a hidden arrow, and the dart was used to deflect the hidden arrow."

Hu Youde made an accurate judgment. He picked up the sleeve arrow and saw the scratch marks left by the dart in the middle of the sleeve arrow.

Li Cunxi closed his eyes and began to think.

This dart is not a snake-shaped dart, but a weapon similar to the tip of a spear.

In the era of cold weapons, this weapon was a favorite of assassin-type warriors for a period of time because of its simple shape and ease of use.

There were no darts among the hidden weapons that Kui Wenzhong was good at using, and Xiaomei and Xiaofeng were not good at using them either.

According to what Li Cunxi knew about the famous masters in the world, not many of them used darts.

And someone's bodyguard is an expert at using darts.

Li Cunxi stroked his chin and began to think about the possibilities. He didn't dare to imagine that if his idea really happened, then this era would be in real chaos!

"Master, sir, a man who claims to be the King of Wei has come and asked me to come find you."

"Yes, he wants Lord Li to go out and meet him."

While Li Cunxi was still thinking, a yamen runner rushed in with big strides, looking panicked.

"King Wei? My mentor is here?" A puzzled expression appeared on Li Cunxi's face.

"That's right. It was His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei. He asked Lord Li to go out and see him." The bailiff said hurriedly.

"County Magistrate Hu, my mentor is here. Please come out with me."

"How dare you disobey your orders!"

A group of people hurriedly left the coroner's room and came to the gate of the county government office.

I saw Wu Chengsi, dressed in military uniform, riding on a tall horse, with Lao Hei driving the carriage behind him. A beautiful woman was riding on another horse, looking around.

"Teacher!" Li Cunxi hurriedly saluted.

"My benefactor, why are you here!" Hu Youde shouted and ran over and called out pitifully.

"Youde, why is your face swollen?" Wu Chengsi asked, "Did you anger Cunxi and let him slap you?"

"The people under my command were blind and asked the young master for regular money. The young master was embarrassed, so I slapped myself in the face to resolve the conflict," said Hu Youde.

"This is all a misunderstanding." Li Cunxi scratched his head in embarrassment. Who would have known that this plain-looking guy actually knew Wu Chengsi.

"Youde has always been low-key...except for his big gold bracelet." Wu Chengsi turned to Li Cunxi, "I have something to talk to you about."
