Chapter 180 Interrogation
The thunder from Pan Yun was very powerful. Even with Lou Tong's treatment, the evil young man did not wake up until the end of noon.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I met Pan Yun's sparkling eyes.
Pan Yun sighed, "Xie Dao, you can really sleep well. I go to bed later than you, but I wake up earlier than you."
Zhang Ziwang pulled Pan Yun aside, frowned at the dumbfounded young man, and raised a finger and asked, "What is this?"
The young man slowly came back to his senses and looked at Pan Yun's face. His memories before the coma slowly revived and his eyes slowly filled with resentment.
Zhang Ziwang retracted his finger and turned back to say, "I'm not stupid."
Lin Jingle walked up to him, took a look at his face, nodded and said, "I'll interrogate him, you all go out."
Pan Yun was eager to try, "Master Lin, I will go with you."
Zhang Ziwang glanced at her and said, "Pan Yun, you should go to class."
Pan Yun said seriously, "This matter is related to me. I must know the inside story."
Zhang Ziwang: "What does this have to do with you?"
"I found him, I chopped him, I captured him. We are mortal enemies. Of course I want to know if he has any accomplices, family, or friends. Will anyone avenge me for him? Do you think this is a big deal?"
Zhang Ziwang was silent.
Lin Jingle said: "You go back to class first. It will take some time to interrogate the case. You can participate in this case and the case file will be open to you."
Pan Yun then smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Then I'll trouble Hall Master Lin with everything."
She doesn't like to check these things and do the hard work. She likes to sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor as long as she gets the results she wants.
Pan Jun went to class happily, leaving Chen Ziwu trembling beside him. He opened his mouth to speak several times, but could not open his mouth under Lin Jingle's gaze.
He had been interrogated since early this morning for two hours, and he was frightened last night. He was really sleepy and wanted to sleep~~
Not only Chen Ziwu, but also the five teenagers including He Jie from yesterday were also called in for questioning. They asked about every detail, starting from when they came down the mountain.
Finally he went to interrogate the evildoer.
But Xiedao was very conceited. He fell from the sky suddenly and his mentality had not changed at all.
He is arrogant and not afraid.
Then when Pan Yun finished her class and came to see him in the evening, he had changed into a different person, looking even more miserable and more scarred.
Miao Zhen and Miao He, who came with her, saw him for the first time. They didn't feel anything special and just asked curiously, "Uncle Junior, was he the one who captured He Jie and Chen Ziwu? They don't look very powerful."
Pan Yun was silent.
Xiedao's eyes became dull, but there was still an expression of unwillingness on his face. He looked at Pan Yun, and a trace of hatred and murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Pan Jun sighed and asked Lin Jingle: "Master Lin, what is his name?"
Lin Jingle: "It's like this, the tourist trails in Lingnan."
Pan Yun: "He doesn't look like a Youdao."
Lin Jingle: "Not all tourists are poor. He is one of those who are not poor."
Chen Ziwu, who had just woken up from a nap, said in a gloomy voice, "He can even absorb people's energy and use people to raise insects. How can he be poor? Only people like me who practice Taoism honestly and work hard to make money will be poor."
Pan Yun: "How does he usually make money?"
"There are many, such as smuggling for others to save their lives, finding graves for others to rob, and the more ruthless ones will directly kill the whole family, rob money, and..." Chen Ziwu was talking excitedly, but when he saw Lin Jingle's cold eyes, he paused, changed the subject, and forced a smile: "Of course, those who do evil will eventually perish. Doing such things will only bring you wealth and glory for a while, and one day you will be investigated. If people don't hold him accountable, the law of nature will."
"Evil cannot prevail over good. Look, isn't he being arrested now?"
Lin Jingle nodded slightly and handed a few pieces of paper to her in front of Mo Rushi, "He confessed some things. This is the confession."
Pan Jun quickly took it, scanned it quickly, and finished reading it quickly, "That's all?"
Lin Jingle: "Yes, he will. He can't escape. He will slowly spit out everything."
He met Mo Rushi's somewhat sarcastic gaze and said coldly: "After all, if the academy can't get the answer and hands it over to the Tianshi Mansion, it would be worse than death."
Mo Rushi was silent for a long time, then asked, "What do you want to know?"
Pan Yun said: "I don't want to know much, just three points."
"One, who is your teacher?"
Mo Rushi: "I don't have a master."
Pan Yun sneered.
Lin Jingle asked: "Without a master, where did you get all these skills from?"
Mo Rushi: "I got the technique by chance and taught myself."
Lin Jingle sneered: "You and I are both cultivators, it's hard to deceive outsiders with these words. How can you cultivate all your skills just by relying on the exercises?"
Mo Rushi remained silent, still refusing to reveal his master, "Why do you have to know my master? I have been expelled from the sect because of raising poisonous insects. I am too embarrassed to mention my master again."
"There are many disciples who have committed rebellious acts in the martial arts world, but no one will go to the sect to settle accounts with the expelled disciples because they committed crimes outside," Pan Yun said, "So you can rest assured. I'm only asking to prepare yourself mentally. If you meet your disciples on the street in the future, stay away from them to avoid making them sad."
Mo Rushi: “Are they sad?”
"Of course, even though you were expelled from the sect, we were fellow disciples who practiced together. Even if you did something wrong, we still have feelings for each other. And I am smart and kind-hearted. I will be liked by many people in the future. I avoided them and became friends by accident. When they find out that you fell into my hands in the future, won't they be sad?"
"Since I have a kind heart, I will naturally feel bad when they are sad. If I feel bad, my Dao heart will be affected. So in order not to affect my Dao heart, I must stay away from your master and not be friends from the beginning. They can hate me openly, and I can also hate them openly."
Mo Rushi: ...
He was silent for a long time before saying, "My master is the chieftain of a tribe in Guangxi. His disciples basically never leave Lingnan, so you won't run into him."
Pan Yun sneered and shook his head, "You are not honest, Master Lin, why don't you send him to the Tianshi Mansion? You have given so many excuses to the first question, I don't even want to ask the second question."
Lin Jingle was silent for a moment and then nodded.
Mo Rushi's chest rose and fell, and after a long while he closed his eyes and then opened them again, "Why don't you believe me?"
Pan Yun: "Did your chieftain teach you to exchange lives for others? Would your chieftain expel you from the sect just because you raise poisonous insects?"
This is obviously the method of Taoism in the Central Plains.
"Of all your skills, I'm afraid the poisonous insect is the only unorthodox one, right?" Lin Jingle said, "Looking at the swordsmanship and light skills you used last night, you belong to the Lingnan Zhengyi School, and you are from an upright school."
Mo Rushi was silent again, "I am a disciple of Taoist Master Cheng Yuan from Dafu Temple in Chengdu." This was the beginning.
As expected, Pan Yun only asked about his master and did not continue with this question. "Second question, where did you get the Yuan Sucking Bug?"
This time, Mo Rushi did not hide anything and said truthfully, "I found the cocoon in an ancient tomb and raised it according to the secret method recorded in the secret book."
Pan Yun: "The third question is, what's so special about Chen Ziwu?"
Mo Rushi: "He has Yuanli. There are very few people with Yuanli out there. It's rare to pick one."
"Is it so hard for you to risk your life to chase me all the way to Mount Longhu?" Pan Yun said, "There aren't many Taoist priests in Mount Longhu, but there aren't many other things. Aren't you afraid that you will get into trouble here and won't be able to escape?"
Mo Rushi: "I am confident that you can't catch me."
Pan Yun: "Where are you now?"
Mo Rushi was silent for a moment and then said, "If it weren't for your accident, I could have escaped. I have already calculated that Chen Ziwu doesn't know anyone here, so arresting him won't attract anyone's attention."
"It's getting dark. If I catch a disciple with low cultivation, I only need three hours to complete the energy transition and use his flesh and blood to feed a new batch of energy sucking insects. Three hours, based on my estimation of teenagers of that age, after discovering their companions are missing, although they are afraid, they will still search nearby first."
"My corpse hands will bring me the fertilizer, and then I will go to the dense forest to hold them back. I can hold them back for at least one night. I may even turn them all into my fertilizer. By the time Longhu Mountain knows that a disciple is missing in the mountain, it will be the next day."
"At that time, I had already followed the river down and left Longhu Mountain. No one could catch me." Mo Rushi looked at her and said, "I didn't expect that your cultivation was higher than it looked."
There was a venomous flash in his eyes, and he smiled, "You are so young, but you have such a high level of cultivation. Didn't you use some evil methods?"
Pan Yun: "You are so short-sighted that you think everyone has the same poor talent as you and can only rely on evil ways to improve their cultivation. But you don't know that there are geniuses like me in the world. I can improve my cultivation by drinking water. Do you believe it?"
Mo Rushi: ...
Lin Jingle, who was listening: …
Only Miao Zhenmiao and Miao He nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, their junior master was indeed like that.
When Junior Master-Uncle first came up the mountain, although he looked fierce in a fight, his cultivation was really not that good. His face was small and pale, and he looked like he had some deficiencies.
As a result, after only nine months of recuperation in Sanqing Mountain, not only did his cultivation level increase rapidly, but his complexion also became more rosy, and he was showing a tendency to become closer to Miaohe.
If your cultivation level increases so fast, wouldn't it be that even drinking water increases your cultivation level?
Mo Rushi was so furious at her ridicule. He had always considered himself a genius, but now Pan Yun said that he was not talented?
"When I was at Dafu Temple, I was also praised as a genius by everyone."
Pan Yun: "Obviously you know in your heart that you are not worthy of the reputation and are not a genius. Otherwise, why would you do such a thing as using the Yuan Sucking Bug to steal other people's Yuan Power and feed the bugs with human flesh and blood?"
Pan Yun raised his chin and said, "A true genius would not bother to use such evil ways to improve his cultivation. The world is so big, and there is spiritual energy everywhere. How can we not cultivate? At worst, we can still gain enlightenment, insects..."
Pan Yun showed a look of contempt and disgust, "I feel it's dirty just by looking at it, so how can I let it enter my body?"
Mo Rushi vomited blood with a "pu" sound. He did not vomit blood under Lin Jingle's torture, but was so angry at Pan Jun's words that he vomited blood.
Pan Yun dodged his blood splatter and said to the silent Lin Jingle: "Master Lin, I'm fine."
Lin Jingle waved at her.
Pan Yun took Miaozhen and Miaohe away.
Chen Ziwu stood aside, stunned, and after a moment's thought, he went after her.
"Fellow Daoist Pan, Fellow Daoist Pan..."
Pan Yun turned around and asked, "What do you want?"
Chen Ziwu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Pan, are you still selling the talismans you put out yesterday?"
When Pan Yun heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Sell it to me. What kind of talismans does Brother Chen want? How many of each do you want?"
"Junior sister, how much is a thunder talisman?"
Pan Yun: "I don't distinguish between different types of talismans. All of them are 20 taels each."
In the territory of Longhu Mountain, this price is equivalent to a talisman drawn by a first-level marquis monk.
Chen Ziwu felt a little pain in his wallet, but in order to maintain a good relationship, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Then, then give me five thunder talismans."
"Junior sister, I'm not in a hurry to get it. I can go to your yard..." Looking at the thunder talisman that Pan Jun handed to him, Chen Ziwu forced a smile, "Junior sister, you still have so many thunder talismans in your hand."
Pan Jun blinked and said, "When you go out, you always have to be careful, so I prepared more."
Chen Ziwu took it, pulled out his purse from his sleeve, took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and handed it over reluctantly.
Pan Jun stretched out his hand and pulled it twice but failed to pull it. He was puzzled. "To be honest, I have rarely seen a hundred-liang silver note in my life. Since Senior Brother can take it out, he must be a rich man."
Chen Ziwu: "I have been holding onto this 100 taels note for two years."
Pan Yun: "Then... Brother, can you use your scattered money to make up for it? I don't mind if the 100 taels are scattered money."
Chen Ziwu then pushed the banknote in front of her and turned his face away, "No need, Junior Sister, take it."
Pan Yun knew that the scattered money he had on him would not be enough to make up a hundred taels.
Pan Jun put the money away, looking puzzled. Is the serious Taoist priest really so poor?
Pan Jun wanted to know the market situation outside, so he invited Chen Ziwu to visit Fengqiyuan.
Although the methods were different, the goal was achieved. Chen Ziwu actually got closer to Pan Yun and successfully visited Fengqiyuan.
Chen Ziwu said, "A serious wandering Taoist priest is this poor. I am considered the best. I have connections in the martial arts world and can make medicine for others, escort people, etc. I really rely on fortune-telling to make money, but it is only enough to support myself. I can't even afford the resources for cultivation."
"Most Taoists have to support their families. Oh, I have brothers at home, my parents don't rely on me for support, and I don't plan to get married and have children, so I can feed the whole family without any worries, and I don't have the pressure of supporting a family."
Pan Yun thought about Sanqing Mountain and Datong, and sighed, "I can't do that. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and the pressure is too great."
Now most of her cultivation resources are earned by her senior brothers and sisters. When she becomes more capable in the future and goes out to gain experience, she will definitely have to support a family like her senior brothers and sisters, so she has two families to support.
Chen Ziwu: "Junior sister, you don't have to worry. The medicine in your Sanqing Mountain is very famous. Not only do people who practice Taoism need it, but people in the martial arts world also need it. If you learn the skills of refining medicine, you will never have to worry about food and drink."
Unlike him, who is a jack of all trades but not good at anything, so he can only make small money.
The day ends today. I'm going on a trip with my family tomorrow, so I'll write 6,000 a day from tomorrow, two chapters, and I'll start adding more chapters next week. Love you guys.
