Chu Lingya said: "She looks like my master's senior sister."

Xie Rujian was stunned for a moment, and then he wondered who Chu Lingya's master was.According to Chu Lingya, his master was called Wuwei. At the beginning, he was the director of the Ningyuan Nonferrous Metals Research Institute. Later, he came out to practice Taoism when he changed his business to reform. He opened a Wuwei concept and adopted Chu Lingya. .This person has some ability, but not too much ability, otherwise, with Xie Rujian's identity, it is impossible for him not to have heard of such a number one person.When Chu Lingya left his soul a while ago, Xie Rujian wrote to Wuwei Guan for help, but the news he got was that Wuwei went out to wander and was not in the temple.I didn't think there was any problem with this before, but now it seems suspicious everywhere.

Chu Lingya is a smart person, so he naturally thought of this: "Could it be that my master is also related to these things?"

For Chu Lingya, doing nothing is the person he regards as his adoptive father after all. It is definitely not a pleasant thing to suspect that someone who has been with him for decades is definitely not a pleasant thing, so even if Xie Rujian thought of it, he did not dare to speak. Said, unexpectedly Chu Lingya said it by himself.

"It's okay," Chu Lingya understood Xie Rujian very well, and explained, "I trust my master, and because of trust, I think that only by opening everything up and investigating to the end can he be innocent, and I can rest assured. Now that The finger is pointed at my master's relationship, but I will not shy away from it."

Xie Rujian nodded: "Then how much do you know about this senior sister?"

"Very little, I just remember that she came to the temple a few times when I was very young." Chu Lingya thought for a while, and gestured, "Three times, she only came three times."

Strange to say, although Tang Shiyu came very rarely, Chu Lingya had a deep impression of her.

"Actually, the relationship between my master and her is a bit strange, and it seems to be more or less jealous."

When he was young, he didn't have enough social experience, and Chu Lingya didn't understand the relationship between Wuwei and Tang Shiyu very well, but looking back now, it feels much clearer.

"Afraid?" Xie Rujian felt that this was a very strange adjective.For example, they follow the ancient rules of the sect, and there are often strict etiquette requirements between brothers and sisters. The younger generation must respect and be polite to the older generation, and the older generation must take good care of the younger generation, but no matter what, "scrupulousness" should not happen in the relationship Not bad or ordinary fellow students.

"Yes." Chu Lingya said, "I remember that the first time Tang Shiyu appeared was the second day after I arrived at Wuwei Temple."

"Aren't you only two years old at that time?" Xie Rujian said, "You actually remember?"

"Remember, because she brought the blindfold that covers my eyes."

Chu Lingya was adopted by nothing when she was two years old. Since Xie Rujian gave him the Eye of Seeing Xuan, Chu Lingya, who didn't know how to control, had a very difficult childhood, always seeing things from another world .In order to help him adapt to the mortal world, Wu Wu put on blindfolds for Chu Lingya until he was five years old, so as to block unnecessary things.This blindfold is naturally not an ordinary blindfold, but a magic weapon that Tang Shiyu specially found from other places.

"No wonder you remember." Xie Rujian asked, "Did she say anything the first time you came here?"

"Just remember to say she'll come again."

The second time Tang Shiyu appeared was when Chu Lingya was five years old. At that time, Chu Lingya was murdered by a ghost pretending to be a human, and almost lost his life. He was rescued with great difficulty, and Tang Shiyu sent him to recuperate. medicine.

"That time she seemed to have a disagreement with Wuwu, and the two had a big fight, and she left that night," Chu Lingya said.

"What about the third time?"

"The third time was before I went abroad to study. For some reason, she knocked on my door in the middle of the night and said something strange." Chu Lingya was an adult at that time, so she remembered it very well.

It was a starless night, he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and heard a woman's gentle voice outside the window.

"Lingya, are you awake?"

Chu Lingya was shocked, pushed open the window, and saw Tang Shiyu.

Looking back at this moment, that scene was actually a bit like a dream, and Chu Lingya himself wondered why after so many years, he never thought of what happened that night until today.

That night, Tang Shiyu stood outside his window, watching him quietly from a distance that was not too far away.Her eyes were very black, as black as two black holes, as if trying to suck him into a bottomless abyss.Chu Lingya remembered that when she touched those eyes, it was as if she had been hypnotized, and she was a little dazed.

Tang Shiyu said: "Lingya, you want to..."

what would you like?

Chu Lingya frowned in confusion.Strangely, he clearly remembered every detail of what happened that night, whether it was the weather, time, Tang Shiyu's dress, expression or even tone of voice, but he just couldn't remember what Tang Shiyu said at that time.

"Lingya? Lingya!"

"Pa" ringing in his ears, Chu Lingya seemed to have been shaken, and slowly woke up, he found himself sitting down on the ground, Xie Rujian was squatting in front of him, worried look at him.

"Has my memory been tampered with?" Chu Lingya understood after regaining her senses.

Xie Rujian nodded: "I took a look for you, it's a technique."

"Can you untie it?"

Xie Rujian shook his head, and then explained: "It was erased directly, so this theory has not been solved."

Chu Lingya said, "Really?" He pondered for a while, "Anyway, the timing of Tang Shiyu's appearance is wrong."

According to Zhou Feng, Tang Shiyu disappeared with all the ghosts in Changle Ghost Prison 30 years ago, but Chu Lingya is only 25 years old this year. Ningyuan City.At that time, the entire underworld should still be trying their best to find the ghosts in Changfeng Ghost Prison. Tang Shiyu's appearance took great risks, but she still chose to go to Wuwei Temple. From this, it can be seen that seeing Chu Lingya may be very important to her. !

Chu Lingya muttered to himself: "It doesn't make sense, I can't figure it out..."

Xie Ru gradually understood what he meant. In fact, it wasn't that Chu Lingya couldn't figure it out, but felt a kind of fear when the clues were gradually pulled out.

Anyone who finds out that everything they encountered more than 20 years ago is the foreshadowing of today will probably feel horrified.It is a fear called "life is controlled by unknown forces".

"After she came for the second time, my master forbade me to see her. So for the third time, she came secretly in the middle of the night."

"Why doesn't he allow you to see Tang Shiyu?"

"I don't know." Chu Lingya said.

"Have you asked him?" Xie Rujian asked.

"I asked, but he didn't seem to make it clear." Chu Lingya rubbed his twitching temples. It felt very bad that his memory had been tampered with. He now felt as if a piece of his brain had been ripped out. There is a sense of emptiness with a cold wind blowing through.

"If you can't remember it, don't think about it. Let's check from another angle." Xie Rujian said, "I'll send you back to rest first, and then go to the factory."

"No, I'll go with you." Chu Lingya stood up.He was still a little confused, but the problem was not too big. On the contrary, the physical discomfort was far less troublesome than all the stacked questions that bothered him.

"But you..."

"I'm fine." Chu Lingya said, "Let's go."

Xie Rujian hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Okay, then don't leave my side."

This time, they quickly entered the Changfeng Watch Factory, but to their surprise, the room that Xie Rujian found last night disappeared, and so did Xian Xiaoji.Instead, those who appeared on the scene were Zhou Feng and his colleagues from the Special Affairs Administration.

Seeing Xie Rujian and Chu Lingya, Zhou Feng immediately walked over.

"Why are you here?" The two asked almost simultaneously.

Zhou Feng paused for a moment before answering: "Last night there was a change in the site of Changfeng Ghost Prison. The Bureau detected it and sent us over to check what was going on, but we were all in the right place. We didn't get out of the ghost wall until just now. Come out." Zhou Feng sized them up, "What about you?"

Xie Rujian and Chu Lingya looked at each other, and Chu Lingya said, "We were there last night." He recounted everything that happened last night, only omitting the real existence. , only talked about the part of Tang Shiyu.

Zhou Feng frowned after listening, and asked in disbelief, "You said Tang Shiyu was a woman?"

"Yes, we copied the photo." Chu Lingya showed him the photo on his phone, "This is Tang Shiyu, the Tang craftsman you mentioned." He didn't explain who the person next to Tang Shiyu really was, so he paid special attention to it. Look at Zhou Feng's expression.

Sure enough, Zhou Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "It doesn't make sense."

Xie Rujian took a step forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Feng was obviously a little confused: "In the file of the bureau, Tang Shiyu is obviously a male."

"By the way, why is there no photo of Tang Shiyu in your files?" Chu Lingya checked all the relevant information before, but the strange thing is that he didn't find any audiovisual materials of Tang Shiyu.Although Tang Shiyu was active before the 90s in the last world, when audio-visual recording methods were relatively poor, at least one photo, one portrait, etc. should be kept.

"Originally there should be, but a few months before the accident in Changfeng Ghost Prison 30 years ago, there was a sudden heavy rain in Changfeng City. The old archives of the Special Affairs Bureau were in disrepair and leaked a lot of materials. It was only after the completion that some materials were found to be damaged, among them were relevant materials of Tang Shiyu." Zhou Feng paused, and obviously felt that this matter was unusual, and at the same time felt that it would make his colleagues look very unprofessional , Then he explained, "It's like this. At that time, a lot of information was lost, not only Tang Shiyu's personal information, but some information was far more important than this, so no one thought of it at that time."

"You didn't notify Tang Shiyu to supplement the information?" Xie Rujian asked.

Zhou Feng said: "Wait a minute, I'll make a call and ask." As he spoke, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. After a while, the other end connected.

"Zhao Bureau, it's me, Xiao Zhou, I want to ask you something about Tang Shiyu..."

Probably because this series of show operations was too suspicious. In order to prove his innocence, Zhou Feng specially released it in front of the two, so Xie Chu and the two were able to hear the first-hand information directly.On the other end of the phone was Zhao Qirui, the old director of the Changfeng Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, who had just retired ten years ago. In other words, when Tang Shiyu was active, Zhao Qirui had probably come into contact with this person.

Sure enough, Zhao Qirui recalled the loss of Tang Shiyu's data on the phone. The statement was basically the same as Zhou Feng's, but more details were added.

"Old Tang's personality is relatively withdrawn, he doesn't like to keep photos, and he doesn't like to talk to people. He just spends time in his small room tinkering with clocks and other things when he has nothing to do. After the data was lost, the bureau urged him several times. The next time he took a photoshoot, he promised well that he would not go, and until he disappeared, this matter has never been done." Zhao Qirui asked, "Why do you think of asking this? Do you have any new clues?"

Xie Rujian suddenly said, "Send the photo to Director Zhao."

Zhou Feng hesitated for a moment, but still said "OK", he said: "Zhao Bureau, I will send you an old photo, you can see if Tang Shiyu is in there."

The old bureau chief agreed, and after a while, a suspicious voice came from the other end.

"Xiao Zhou, did you post the wrong photo? There is no old Tang here."

Xie Rujian and Chu Lingya looked at each other. At first they thought that Rong Zhen was Tang Craftsman, the jailer of Changfeng Ghost Prison. Later, they guessed that Rong Zhen and Tang Shiyu were the two sides of Tang Craftsman. They were active under the same identity. Zhao Qirui now told They, Tang Shiyu and Rong Zhen in the photo were not the craftsman Tang he had seen.

Zhou Feng was obviously also stunned, he said, "Is it in the photo?"

"Of course not. I know Craftsman Tang. It's impossible not to recognize him. Don't think I'm too old to see well!" Zhao Qirui seemed a little angry, and his voice was raised a little.

Chu Lingya asked: "Can we bother Director Zhao and find a portrait artist to ask him to draw a portrait?"

Zhou Feng's eyes lit up, yes, there is another method.

Soon, they persuaded Zhao Qirui and asked someone to go to his house for a portrait.During the waiting period, Xie Rujian and Chu Lingya searched the entire Changfeng Watch Factory from top to bottom, but unfortunately they still couldn't find Xian Xiaoji and that room.It appears that there was indeed something in that room, and during the time they were trapped in the real cave, everything was disposed of.

What the hell is in there?Xie Rujian couldn't help but think.

"The portrait is finished." Zhou Feng walked over in a hurry, holding a few pages of paper in his hand, which were printed out from the documents sent directly from Bureau Zhao.

Chu Lingya took a deep breath, took a look first, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "I don't know." With Tang Shiyu as a precedent, he was really worried that he would see Wuwei's face on the paper, but luckily he didn't. .However, he soon discovered that Xie Rujian's expression was a little strange.

"Brother Rujian? What's wrong?"

Xie Rujian frowned slightly, and sighed softly after a while: "This time, I got to know you." He said, "The person in the painting looks like a senior brother of mine when he gets old." Xie Rujian paused Paused, "But he was killed on the night when the Qiankun Mirror was stolen!" In other words, this person has been dead for 800 years.
