This is what cultivating immortals is like

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Appearance is 30% and grooming is 70%.

Lu Bei changed into a hawk-dog skin, and his appearance and temperament were increased by 1,000%. He had a tendency to switch from being a pretty boy to a soft job, and he just wanted to find someone to praise him.

Not much, just three days and three nights.

The five dead men couldn't fart in three sentences, and the golden-scaled snake could only hiss. Apart from the mirror that showed who the most handsome man in the world was, the only person Lu Bei could show off to on this ship was She Zhang. .

But it's impossible.

She Zhang advanced to the Xiantian realm before Lu Bei. The first battle was unfavorable and she doubted her life. In the next few days, she was repeatedly pressed to the ground and rubbed by Lu Bei in the name of sparring. Her self-confidence has seriously declined, and she has regained her previous temperament of resenting women. She dislikes Lu Bei in every possible way, and wants to pry her mouth open to hear a few nice words. I am afraid that this is only possible in a dream.

"Sister She, how do I feel about my clothes?"

"Sanctimonious, suits you well."

"Open your eyes and take a closer look."

"He looks like a dog."

She Zhang opened her eyes, looked at Lu Bei up and down for a while, gave him a very fair evaluation, and then looked into the distance: "Why go by boat? You and I have the ability to ride on the wind, so we can go back quickly."

"The news that the Xuanyin Division sent people to investigate has long been spread to Langwu County. I want to try it. If anyone can't think of intercepting you and me halfway, the case will be solved if the clues come." Lu Bei replied truthfully.

Langwu County is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There are three peaks, Dawu, Erwu and Siwu, blocking the outside world. All transportation in and out depends on waterways. With such good conditions, it is reasonable to lure the enemy to expose himself.

"Are you so sure that the murderer is someone else?" She Yan frowned.

"Of course, I am Xuanyin Si Qingwei, and the county magistrate Zhu Shiqiu is the rookie that the higher-ups are looking forward to. There is another murderer who is correct. If not, there must be one." Lu Bei said with a serious face.

She Zhang rolled her eyes, too lazy to talk nonsense to Lu Bei.

She didn't come to Langwu County to accompany Lu Bei for an outing, but there was a hidden underground palace that she needed to visit. She had an opportunity there a few years ago. Now that she has advanced to the Xiantian realm, she plans to go back and check it out again.

There are also thin snakes with golden scales, which are also found near the underground palace. They are used for their own use and have many benefits.

This matter was a secret that She Zhang had kept for many years and she had never told anyone until Lu Bei asked out of curiosity.

I had no other intention, I just felt that although this person was hateful, he still had some merits in some aspects, so he was considered a trustworthy person, so he told Lu Bei the truth.

Lu Bei became interested as soon as he heard this, and agreed with She Zhang that when the case was over, he would visit the underground palace with her.

Two to one is added to five, and then he collects some travel expenses, construction costs, interest, and taxes, and She Zhang gets 10% of the benefit.

…

Langwu County.

A small county with a population of 200,000, with complex terrain and waterways, and almost isolation from the rest of the world, has nurtured unique humanities and customs.

Except for the scattered villages around it, the county town looks like a continuous mountain village. Shrouded in mist, the county town built on the mountain rises layer by layer, like a huge mountain village, giving it a mysterious and exotic atmosphere.

Due to the heavy humidity, it is difficult for outsiders to adapt to the life in Langwu County, but it doesn't matter to the locals. Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, the body adapts to the environment. They all have fair skin, black hair and big eyes, and are extremely beautiful.

At the river bank of the county town, Wang Baotou, who was on duty, was pacing back and forth. When he saw the boat coming through the fog, he hurriedly called his men to come forward and catch the rope of the boat.

"I have met Mr. Qingwei, who is under the command of Langwu County's temporary leader, Shi Fang."

Xuanyin Division is also known as the Black Yamen. Wang Captou did not dare to neglect. When he stepped forward to salute, he saw the black hair on Lu Bei's sleeves and held his breath for a while.

"Ding Lei of a certain family, the king's arrest is too polite."

Out of caution, Lu Bei now put on the face of a lewd thief, and She Yan behind him was no exception. He used snake skin to pinch a passerby's face, as the boss of the five dead soldiers.

As for the bulging figure that is too eye-catching, the solution is simple.

The white cloth is wrapped tightly.

Her face is too ordinary for passers-by. When others see her slightly muscular chest, they will subconsciously think that she is an individual cultivator and not think much about it.

"Sir, the county government has prepared a banquet. Look..."

"Where is the county magistrate Mr. Zhu?"

"Imprisoned in the backyard of the county government office, guarded by several adults from the Huangji Sect."

"Let's go to Mr. Zhu's house first. I heard that he has a cellar for raising voodoos in his house. I'm very interested."

Lu Bei said: "As for the banquet, Wang Captou is interested. There is no rush for now. When we return to the county office, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and have a few drinks with Mr. Zhu."

"My lord said, please come this way."

Wang Captou led the way. Lu Bei noticed the sharp gaze on him and turned his head to look in the direction of the dock.

On a large ship not far away, a middle-aged man in green robe smiled and expressed his welcome to Lu Bei through lip-talk.

Huang Ji Zong, Huang He.

Lu Bei cupped his fists and returned the salute, then quickly followed Wang Baotou and followed him to Zhu's Mansion in Langwu County.

After the group left, two men dressed as guards came behind Huang He on the Huangji Sect's big ship and said respectfully: "Master Steward, the dog thieves from the Xuanyin Division have arrived. Should we hand the prisoner over to them directly, or should we hand over the prisoner directly to them?" Are you going to hold it back first?”

"Give it to them directly. After all, they are members of the Zhu family. If something happens to them in our hands, I won't be able to report it to the superiors."

Huang He looked at the direction Lu Beiyuan was going, shook his head and smiled: "These villains from Xuanyin Division are not brave enough themselves, but they still accuse our Emperor Ji Sect of being narrow-minded."

"Master Steward, how do you say this?"

"Take Qingwei just now. He pretended to be a dead soldier and found a scapegoat to stand in front of him. He didn't even think about the gap between the Xiantian realm and the Baoding realm. He really thought he could hide it from me." Huang He sneered. road.

"Your Excellency is wise."

"Seeing as she has a decent figure, I'm really curious about what she looks like under that dead face."

"Sir, do you want me to come and spy on you?"

"Tired of living?"

Huang He shook his head and stopped his subordinate's unwise behavior of flattering him. He was just curious and had no extra thoughts.

Besides, if you really have some ideas, the girls in the local Hongxiuge Pavilion are all fair-skinned, beautiful, sweet-mouthed and know how to get things done. Wouldn’t it be nice to just talk about money?

"Let the brothers hand over the prisoner quickly and go to the Red Sleeve Pavilion after that. Mr. Huang is treating us today and I will treat everyone well."

"Your Excellency is righteous!"

…

Langwu County, county government.

The food and wine are hot, and a table of local delicacies is served.

Lu Bei took off the embroidered knife from his waist and asked his attendant She Qi to hold it. The big horse golden knife sat at the table, waiting for the king to bring the suspect Zhu Shiqian.

After a trip to Zhu's mansion, he found a place to raise voodoo in the backyard cellar. After careful inspection, he determined that the real culprit was Zhu Shiqian.

He had no choice but to help Zhu Shiqi clear his suspicions, but the evidence did not allow it.

The cellar where the gu is kept is under the master bedroom. You can see the entrance by pushing the bookcase. Looking at the quality of the bricks and stones, you can estimate the time of construction. If Zhu Shiqiao knew nothing about it, he would not believe it even to death.

Going to Zhu's Mansion was just a routine matter. The cellar had already been searched through by Huang Ji Zong. Even if there was any missing evidence, it was not his turn to pick it up.

Lu Bei knew this very well. He just wanted to try it out and go to Zhu's mansion to investigate the case with great fanfare. Will it attract passers-by in strange clothes?

There is a saying that criminals will always return to the scene to admire their masterpieces. Every time they see the impact of their actions on society, or the horror of the onlookers, or the busy figures of the police officers, they will It gives rise to a sense of accomplishment that cannot be given up.

Some criminals who are more ambitious want to see if there are loopholes left so that they can commit crimes more perfectly next time.

Lu Bei had no experience or ability in solving crimes, so he could only use strange tricks to find a breakthrough point, and waited for the assassination by boat. This was also due to this consideration.

The result was mediocre. It might be that Huangji Sect had repeatedly re-examined and eliminated the real culprit. He remained unmoved in the face of Lu Bei's temptation and had no intention of returning to the scene to observe.

But Lu Bei didn't learn anything. Before leaving, he met the county magistrate's wife.

A beautiful woman in her prime, who had not thought about food and drink for half a year, worried about her husband's safety. When she heard that the imperial court had sent the Xuanyin Division to re-investigate the case, she was one of her own, so she dressed up and grabbed Lu Bei when they met. Hands, crying until the pear blossoms are covered with rain, I feel pity for you.

The county magistrate's wife was not the type who was very eloquent, and her brain was very average. She was summoned by Lu Bei to the inner courtyard for questioning alone. Before leaving, she stuffed a handful of banknotes into her hand and asked Lu Bei to take care of her. She must be aware of everything and don't wrongly accuse an honest person. .

After being rejected by Lu Bei face to face, the county magistrate's wife remembered that she had other advantages, left a pink handkerchief and asked him to talk in the evening.

Seeing that she was desperate, Lu Bei could not refuse, so he accepted the pink silk and said that he would definitely visit her tonight.

"Do you suspect that the county magistrate's wife is the real culprit?"

She Yan was still worried about Lu Bei accepting the handkerchief. Considering that this guy still had a certain bottom line, at least not being a womanizer was one of his few advantages, so he took advantage of the situation and elaborated: "The county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the county magistrate. If there was a conflict, I would complain to my wife every night when I came home. She loved her husband so much that she secretly raised poisonous insects to control them and killed them one by one...right?"

She Zhang's eyes lit up, feeling like she had seen through the truth.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

Lu Bei rolled his eyes at She Zhang: "If it's true as you said, she loves her husband so much that she would have surrendered to the police within half a year. Why would she need to go to the hospital in a hurry to seduce my lewd face?"

Speaking of this, Lu Bei sighed repeatedly. Time makes people sad. She Zhang used to be a very shrewd woman, but now she is getting more and more stupid. If she continues, it will be more than enough to deceive her eight times a night.

She Yan frowned: "In that case, why did you accept the silk? Aren't you looking for a reason to find out her true identity?"

Lu Bei raised his eyebrows: "It is true that we have found out the truth, but it is not her, but Zhu Shiqiu. First of all, Mr. Zhu has to prove to me that he was indeed imprisoned unjustly. Otherwise, why should I bother to help him clear his name?"

"How to find out?"

"You'll find out later."

While talking, Chief Wang brought up the suspect Zhu Shiqian. He was mentally exhausted due to half a year of imprisonment. His originally handsome face as a scholar had now aged by more than ten years.

"Seen..."

Bang!

Lu Bei slapped the silk on the table: "Stop talking nonsense, Madam gave Ding a handkerchief. If you keep hiding anything, you will shed tears behind the bars tonight. As for me..."

"Hehehe, whether Ding can stand out tonight and help his wife solve her problems depends entirely on Master Zhu's next performance."
