Qiu Yizhi was silent for a long time, and then asked again: "Since the layman said so, I guess by now, I may not be able to remember the identities of these people one by one."
Miaozhen still had the same smiling expression: "There are always those who are greedy for beauty, and they deserve to die. If they have half the self-control of adults... Hehe, I am really reluctant to kill!"
However, this laywoman Miaozhen is an extremely skilled person - even Zhao Chengxiao, a rare warrior, has no choice but to be defeated in a head-on confrontation with her - if he really wants to take someone's life, why use a honey trap? Take Qiu Yizhi himself as an example. If Miaozhen had intended to harm him yesterday, I'm afraid he would have been able to see Mengpo Bridge in the distance on Huangquan Road. How could it be Yuchi Jiming's turn to save him
This was something Qiu Yi was puzzled about, but he couldn't ask directly, so he made an insinuation and asked, "What about Bi Xiuwen, the scholar? Was he also seduced by the layman's beauty?"
Miaozhen smiled, gently stroked his hair, and said: "How many people in the world are like you, sir, who can do the four words 'sitting with your arms calmly'? Of course this person named Bi can also No exception. But after a romantic relationship, he suddenly repented and escaped blindly while the little Taoist nun who was serving the poor Taoist didn't close the door tightly. "
So Qiu Yizhi answered and asked: "I just can't figure it out. Bi Xiuwen is just a poor man, and his fellow laymen have no grievances in the past and have no enmity in the recent days. Besides, monks pay attention to tranquility and inaction, so why do you think of harming him?"
When Miaozhen heard this, he smiled sweetly and started to chant softly:
"There is no yin and yang in things, and they defy the heaven and carry the essence. A hen lays an egg on its own, and its chicks are incomplete. Why? The coordination is not connected, the three and five are ineffective, and the hard and soft are separated. The essence of transformation, the heaven and the earth are natural, like fire moving and burning. , the water flows down, and if there is no teacher to guide it, it will not be able to change the government at the beginning. When a man and a woman have sex, hardness and softness are inextricably linked, and it cannot be controlled by skillful craftsmanship. , if a boy lies down and a girl bites her body, it is like the birth of a fetus, and it is not the time of birth, and it will not take effect even after death. The beginning of customization. The male is the moon, and the female is the sun. The sun is virtuous, the moon is radiant, and the moon is transformed by the sun. The male and female are attracted by each other, and the male and female are intermingled, and seek each other in the same way..."
(Excerpted from "The Book of Changes")
Miaozhen chanted in a melody, and gradually became immersed in it. He couldn't help but recite it in a long way, and he couldn't control himself for a while.
Qiu Yizhi has been studying with Zhongli Kuang in the past few years and has covered a wide range of subjects. Although he does not know which classic Miaozhen's words come from, he can clearly hear that it is a Taoist practice, and he can also hear that it is a set of rules for outsiders. Disdainful crooked ways.
Qiu Yizhi was surprised and said, "Laity, could this be the art of harvesting yin and replenishing yang?"
When Miaozhen heard Qiu Yizhi's question, he was a little surprised, and then he smiled and said, "My lord is a Jinshi, and all I read are the sayings of saints. Do you actually know the secret of this?"
Qiu Yizhi shook his head: "I've only read a few books on cultivation occasionally, but I'm just guessing out of thin air."
"Your Excellency, I have seen many non-commissioned officers and have extraordinary experience. I really admire you more and more!" Miaozhen praised sincerely.
However, Qiu Yizhi did not dare to follow her words. He changed the topic and reintroduced the topic: "In this way, what the layman did was to do the opposite, and wanted to take the man's Yuanyang into his body. In order to achieve the right result?"
Miaozhen nodded slightly, acknowledging it.
At this point, except for some details of this case that are still unclear, the truth has been revealed - it turned out that the Taoist nun Miaozhen wanted to achieve Taoism and become an immortal, so she seduced passing men to do so. Of course, these men couldn't stand Miaozhen. If you try all kinds of things, you will all die of exhaustion.
As for Bi Xiuwen - say he was lucky, he fell into the devil's cave for no reason and even died; say he was unlucky, he died at home anyway, and could see his parents and wife for the last time; say he was of noble character, after all, he was seduced by Miaozhen, and he died. He fell into a beauty trap; let’s say he was a prodigal son, but in the end he was able to repent and escape from the “Longchen Palace” after going through dangers.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but ask Miaozhen again: "The layman has killed so many people, how many positive achievements have he achieved?"
When Miaozhen heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's like the moon in the water or the flowers in the mirror? In the end, it's just a poor Taoist who doesn't practice enough!"
Qiu Yizhi asked further: "What if what the layman did yesterday was not discovered by me? Will the layman kill more innocent men?"
Miaozhen did not answer, but stared at Qiu Yizhi with a smile.
When Qiu Yizhi saw the smile on Master Miaozhen's charming face, he felt a burst of uncontrollable disgust. Behind such a calm and composed smile, it was more indifferent than flattering. For the sake of his illusory so-called "cultivation", he actually took away thirteen lives.
So Qiu Yizhi stared at Miaozhen without flinching, and asked loudly: "The so-called 'human life matters', by killing so many lives, you have violated the power of God and caused the wrath of God. Could it be that you have violated the power of God and caused the wrath of God? Do you still expect to become an immortal through this?"
"The heaven and the earth are unkind, and treat all things as mutt dogs; the saints are unkind, and regard the common people as mutt dogs..."
Miaozhen quoted scriptures and was about to refute, but he didn't know which words offended Qiu Yizhi.
He stood up angrily and reprimanded: "Who are you? You are just a cruel, numb, ignorant, lustful and indulgent monster. How dare you brazenly compare yourself to any saint of heaven and earth? Don't you know the eight saints here? Is there a word 'shame' in virtue?"
"Hahahaha!" Miaozhen actually laughed loudly, "Well done! Well done! Pindao is indeed a shameless person. But I don't know what the Lord is going to do with me?"
Qiu Yizhi had been manipulated by Miaozhen and became extremely angry. He said bitterly: "You are such a lawless evil spirit. I really wish I could kill you right now. However, this would be an advantage for you. I want to tell the details of the case. If you report carefully to the peak, you will be punished after a strict interrogation, and you will inevitably suffer a lot of pain!"
"Good! Enjoy it!" Miaozhen actually expressed his appreciation and said: "Master Qiu is so righteous and awe-inspiring. I think that all the slanderous officials in the entire officialdom of the Han Dynasty combined may not be as good as a little finger of Master Qiu. I am really I like Master Qiu more and more.”
She looked at the puzzled expression on Qiu Yizhi's face, pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Master Qiu, please don't think that Pindao is about to die and is mouthing nonsense. Master Qiu wants to kill Pindao, maybe there are still people who want to protect me!" "
Qiu Yizhi was shocked again when he heard the words, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "For a heinous demon like you, who dares to come forward to protect you? Even if someone wants to be the one, I'll spell it out If he doesn’t want this fame, he will be impeached until his reputation is ruined!”
"We'll have to wait and see, poor Taoist!" Master Miaozhen still had the same smiling expression.
However, Qiu Yizhi no longer wanted to tangle with her any more, so he read the confession recorded in the master's book and handed it to Miaozhen for her to sign. Without even looking at it, Miaozhen took up his pen and wrote his Taoist name in Zhongwang Xingkai, a very beautiful hand, and attached a fingerprint.
Qiu Yizhi watched her finish writing coldly, then took the confession and put it in his sleeve. He then ordered Yuchi Jiming to escort Miaozhen back to the prison in person. He also ordered the prison chief to keep Miaozhen and Li Shenshi under strict supervision so that nothing could go wrong. .
After all the arrangements were made, Qiu Yi felt that there were no more mistakes and was about to leave.
But I heard Miaozhen say again: "Sir! The dozen or so little Taoist nuns under the poor Taoist are all inexperienced children. They just help me dig holes and do some work, let alone kill people. I hope you can keep this in mind." Because they are young and ignorant, don’t embarrass them!”
Qiu Yizhi turned around and sneered, and said: "You clay Bodhisattva, you still want to protect others now - but it's rare. I have my own sense of discretion on this matter, and I won't allow you to comment here."
After saying that, Qiu Yi walked to the study alone without looking back, took up a pen to describe the interrogation of layman Miaozhen in detail, and immediately sent it to the state government office.
However, Qiu Yizhi has been extremely sleepy in the past few days, and has been walking in fear between life and death. Faced with this extremely important case, but the ins and outs of the "Thirteen Life Mysteries" are incredibly simple, she can't write anything. describe.
So he wandered around and wrote a few lines. After reading it for a while, he felt dissatisfied, so he tore off the paper and started writing again. But the newly written paragraph seems not as good as the previous sentences. So Qiu Yizhi discarded the new manuscript and copied the old manuscript again, but felt that it was not satisfactory.
In this way, Qiu Yizhi struggled for half an hour, but not even half of a formal article was completed.
While he was scratching his head, Yuchi Jiming had returned from the county jail.
Qiu Yizhi took this opportunity to change his mind, put down his pen, and asked Yuchi Jiming with a smile: "What? Is the matter done?"
Yuchi Jiming nodded solemnly and replied: "It's done. I personally sent the thief Taoist nun to the cell, and watched the cell leader lock the door before leaving."
Hearing this, Qiu Yizhi felt reassured in her heart, so she smiled and praised: "My virtuous niece is very skilled in martial arts and very careful in her work. I don't think there are many men in the world who can compare with you. With some more training, I think she will be able to compete with you." She is a famous chivalrous woman in the martial arts world, so she can impress your father."
Yuchi Jiming was still full of worries, and instead of answering Qiu Yizhi's words, he asked: "Uncle, why do I feel a chill down my spine when I see this thief Taoist nun named Miaozhen?"
Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "She Miaozhen is just a defeated general of yours? Are you still afraid?"
"I'm not talking about the level of martial arts, uncle." Yuchi Jiming frowned and said, "What I'm afraid of is this thief Taoist nun's hard-hearted heart that regards human life as nothing. She killed so many innocent people just for her own selfish desires. Isn’t it frightening for people to be able to talk about this matter so lightly, without any trace of guilt or fear?”
Qiu Yizhi listened carefully to Yuchi Jiming's words and felt that what she said was very reasonable. She was thinking of words to echo when she heard Yuchi Jiming change the topic and said:
"After my father achieved success, he returned to his hometown once, and we had a deep sigh between father and daughter. I remember my father said: Although he is a martial artist, he does not kill lightly. In the past thirty-three years, There were only twenty-one people killed in total, all of whom were treacherous and evil. However, after taking refuge with the emperor, in just a few months, countless people were killed. Although this was a righteous person, among them Many people were innocent, but they died due to the Yuchi family's supreme martial arts. My father felt quite uneasy about this." (To be continued)
