Starting from the ultimate, the keeper behind the Nine Gates

"I'm sorry, Master Jiang, our people have caused you trouble."

Gao Chang was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. When he saw Jiang Xing, he immediately started to apologize.

However, due to time constraints and human lives at stake, they came here completely empty-handed.

The lack of etiquette made Gao Chang feel less confident about future cooperation talks.

But now, no matter how difficult the situation is, he can only bite the bullet and keep talking. The situation is already much better than he expected since no one was killed.

Jiang Xing did not return the hand that the other party extended, but pointed to the remaining chair beside him, "Sit."

Gao Chang retracted his hand nonchalantly. Although he was a little embarrassed, it didn't show on his face. He even breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't mean to make an attack.

He thanked him and sat down as he was told.

But as soon as his butt touched the seat, he heard a faint "click" sound.

Gao Chang froze immediately, and the tone he had just let go was raised again.

Facing Shang Jiang Xing's gaze, he could neither sit nor stand for a moment.

Fortunately, the appearance of an old friend rescued him from the dilemma.

He immediately stood up and introduced: "Master Jiang, this is the Mingqing Taoist Priest of Baiyun Temple."

Hearing this, Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Baiyun Temple?"

Although he didn't ask any more questions, the atmosphere became a little weird.

Taoist Priest Ming Qing's eyelids twitched, and he glared at Gao Ju who offered him as a sacrifice without changing his expression.

Then Chong Jiangxing bowed his hands and said truthfully, "Guang Ming was my junior brother before."

Junior Brother?

Jiang Xing also remembered that the information previously investigated by Jie Yuqiao seemed to have mentioned Guang Ming's extremely talented senior brother who was favored by his master.

It seems that Taoist Master Qingyuan really values ​​him and even gave him the word "青" in his Taoist name.

Different from Guang Ming's villain, although this one is old, his eyes are strong, piercing and firm.

He has a square face, a flat and broad forehead, and kind eyebrows. He is an elder who truly possesses great kindness and virtue.

Gao Ju and Taoist Priest Mingqing were already prepared to make things difficult for them on the way here.

After all, it was Jiang Xing who helped a lot, and they offended someone by not saying anything before they had time to thank them...

However, unexpectedly, Jiang Xing did not ask about Guang Ming's matter, but instead stretched out his hand to help Taoist Ming Qing up.

His words and deeds were respectful, "I am a junior, Taoist priests don't have to be like this."

He said, leading the person to the main seat, "Please."

Then he turned around and made tea for the two of them.

Seeing Jiang Xing's reaction, Taoist Master Mingqing and Gao Ju looked at each other, and the anxiety in their hearts was slightly reduced.

Gao Chang sat back gently, secretly complaining that it seemed that this young master was not as difficult to get along with as the head of the family had warned him.

Thinking about it, the other party may not know that the chair is broken, rather than deliberately giving him a blow.

……

After tasting tea.

Gao Ju saw the right opportunity and brought the topic to the topic.

After expressing his apology again, he explained to Jiang Xing their recent investigation results on the corpse raising ground.

"Based on the clues provided by the Jie family, we found that many Wang family members were involved in previous headless cases."

"These include but are not limited to gun smuggling, theft, and various horrific murders. Currently, there are more than [-] cases of various sizes that only have pointing evidence."

When talking about the case, the aura of the person in charge became more and more obvious, his eyes were sharp, his expression was solemn, and his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.

"It's just that the composition of the Wang family is too complex, and the other party responded very quickly, and a lot of evidence was destroyed, so the police have been unable to connect these cases together."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Xing, his eyes full of anticipation and eagerness, "I wonder how much Master Jiang knows about the Wang family?"

"Can you tell me a little bit?"

But he was destined to be disappointed. Jiang Xing had only heard some of the disputes between the Zhang family and the Wang family from his younger brother, but he couldn't be considered to understand it.

And it involves a lot, each one of which can be traced back thousands of years.

What's more, it also involves longevity...

Although the soul stone has been destroyed, there are still various fragments remaining.

Jiang Xing didn't care whose hands these things fell into.

However, the decision-making power on this matter does not lie with him as an outsider. It still depends on what the three brothers, especially the younger brother, think.

So he shook his head decisively, "I was just asked to clear up the corpse place. I don't know anything about the Wang family."

"I just heard it mentioned by the head of the Xie family."

Jiang Xing spoke extremely calmly, as if he really didn't know anything.

Faced with the questioning eyes of the high-ranking officials, his expression remained normal, without any hint of guilt.

Gao Chang, who received a negative answer, could only sigh: "That's really a pity."

That was what he said, but he always felt that the young man in front of him was not telling the truth.

However, they had investigated Jiang Xing's background and found that, apart from his special status as a village keeper, there was nothing unusual about his upbringing.

At this time, Gao Changye understood that it would be impossible to obtain valuable clues from Jiang Xingkou without investigating further clues.

So Gao Chang decisively changed the topic and spoke with admiration: "Being able to single-handedly solve the big problem of the corpse raising ground shows that Master Jiang is very capable and is a rare talent."

"I wonder if you have any intention to cooperate with our investigation bureau?"

Jiang Xing, who had expected this for a long time, refused without any hesitation after hearing his invitation.

"No."

It was so straightforward that Gao Chang didn't even react for a moment, "Oh, there's no such thing as us..."

Taoist Priest Ming Qing on the side took over the conversation and said seriously: "Master, I don't know something. Now the number of monks in the country is getting smaller and smaller, and resources are becoming more and more scarce."

"The Investigation Bureau unites us to share resources, exchange and learn, which is of great help to improve our cultivation."

"Of course, with your strength, it is estimated that no monk can be your opponent now, and there is no need to learn from each other."

"but……"

Taoist Priest Mingqing paused and looked at Gao Jue, who was looking anxious.

Gao Chang seemed to know what he was thinking, but instead of stopping him, he nodded and let the Taoist priest continue.

Seeing this, Taoist Priest Ming Qing did not give in anymore, and continued: "The bureau has copied many ancient manuscripts left by ancestors of various sects. If they can be deciphered and understood, it will greatly improve the cultivation level."

Guzha?

Hearing this, a strange color appeared in Jiang Xing's eyes, and this time he did not rush to answer.

His silence gave Gao Ju and Taoist Priest Mingqing hope. They made a tacit agreement not to speak and left their time to Jiang Xing.

This time Jiang Xing was indeed moved, and his previous determination began to waver.

There is a saying that since he started the system and embarked on the road of being a villager, he has never seen the strength of orthodox monks except Guang Ming, a rookie evil cultivator.

Not to mention the ancient texts passed down from generation to generation by various sects...

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xing decided that they could cooperate, but the method was up to him.
