Chapter 92 The whole story
"Young man, please sit here for a while."

The captain respectfully led Fu Qingzhou to the side hall at the back of the court and sat him down, saying with a smile, "I'll go and ask the county magistrate to come over."

Fu Qingzhou took the teapot beside him and started to make tea. He nodded and said, "Go ahead... Oh, by the way, what's your county magistrate's last name?"

"The surname is Chen."

The captain didn't even think about why "a young man invited by the county magistrate" didn't even know the county magistrate's last name, and just passed the message along so happily.

Fu Qingzhou blew on the hot steam from the cup and took a sip of tea.

"Boy, that's good."

The voice of the smoker sounded beside his ears: "This Soul-Snatching Spell is quite impressive, it doesn't seem like you are at the second level of the Spiritual Acupoint Realm. Your witchcraft... is much more skillful than Taoist magic."

Fu Qingzhou didn't take it seriously and chuckled, "They are all spells recorded in the books in the temple. As long as they are useful, there is no difference between witchcraft and Taoist magic."

After taking a sip of tea, he put down the cup, tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, and waited silently.

This was his first time going down the mountain since he had climbed up Mount Langhuan.

Counting from that time...it has been more than two years.

Of course, there was a reason for going down the mountain this time.

Half a month ago, he finally broke through the fifth level of martial arts.

After the meridians were opened up, even on the Langhuan Mountain where spiritual energy was extremely abundant, cultivation became extremely difficult. It seemed that no matter how much spiritual energy there was, it could not fill his meridians that were as vast as the Yangtze River.

The practice of Yiran Jue is extremely difficult. Fu Qingzhou wants to be a hero rather than live in seclusion in the mountains, so his progress in this technique is always pitifully slow.

Having been in the mountains for a long time with nothing to do, he had almost nothing to do except practicing martial arts with Tang Jiao and copying books. He tried farming, refining medicine, blacksmithing... He tried all kinds of things, but naturally he was superficial and not in-depth. He just practiced a few spells based on the second level of spiritual acupoints, which were barely presentable.

There were many soldiers hidden in the mountains, and he found a large bow that suited him very well. Although he didn't know its origin, many magical weapons on the mountain could not hurt it at all, and even the bowstring could not be cut. It was definitely a magical bow that was hard to find in the world.

As for bow techniques, of course he also learned some. After Fu Qingzhou realized that he could not digest too much when he bit off more than he could chew, he did not learn all the bow techniques on the mountain. Instead, he picked up a few that were more suitable for his bow-handling habits, and practiced hard day and night... Now he has achieved some results.

Although he has been cultivating at the fourth level of Wuqiao in the past two years, if a real fight comes, even if he no longer invokes the Qi Ran Jue, ordinary people at the fifth level will never be his match.

But despite this, the process of his attack on the fifth realm was extremely dangerous.

Because he was in his sleep when he encountered Qi Ran Jue breaking through on his own.

The Qi Ran Jue would increase its power on its own even if it was not practiced. Half a month ago, it suddenly started to work in Fu Qingzhou's body, madly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to forcibly break through the realm and try to break through the connection between the Ren and Du meridians.

Fu Qingzhou almost went insane because of this. If his meridians were not strong enough to withstand such a chaotic and violent impact, an ordinary person would have exploded and died on the spot!

In desperation, he had to use the Yiran Jue to try to dissolve the Qiran Jue, but the power of the Yiran Jue was not as strong as that of the Qiran Jue. Several attempts failed. Finally, with the help of the Smoker, he used magic to hypnotize himself and make himself think that he was facing a powerful enemy in a battle. Only then was he able to temporarily strengthen the power of the Yiran Jue and "break through in the battle."

But this kind of self-hypnosis is also very dangerous. When Fu Qingzhou woke up afterwards, the small building where he lived was even half destroyed, which scared Tang Jiao who woke up and rushed over - this was the result of him using all means when "facing the enemy".

On this day, a white crane landed in front of the door of his small building and dropped a letter.

The letter was sent by Ning Baimei.

This was the third letter he had sent in more than two years, corresponding to the three things Fu Qingzhou had requested before.

The two tasks of colluding with the bandits by the Shu officials and restoring the reputation of the Changqing Escort Agency had already been completed. Only the search for the murderer of his father was delayed for two years before there was finally any news.

But when Fu Qingzhou finished reading the letter with joy, his face darkened.

Ning Baimei clearly mentioned in the letter that the one who killed Fu Haichao was not some charlatan, but a Buddhist temple sect affiliated with Jinchan Temple, called Fanyin Temple. What Fanyin Temple did in Bailu Mountain at that time was not to make money, but to select disciples.

The skills they practiced were somewhat similar to the Golden Cicada Divine Shell Skill of the Golden Cicada Temple, but were of a lower level and were called the Golden Body and Bronze Bone Skill.

This kind of martial arts is rather special. It does not start from the practice of a boy's kung fu, but requires older people who have practiced some martial arts to practice it. It is also extremely dangerous. If one cannot survive the process of being reborn and forced to open up the martial arts after taking a specific elixir, one will die very easily.

But once you get through it, you will break through the four realms and truly enter the path of martial arts!

More importantly, after special training, the Golden Body and Bronze Bone Skill can be cultivated into the Golden Cicada Divine Shell Skill! Therefore, if there are extremely talented disciples selected by the Fanyin Temple, they may be able to enter the Golden Cicada Temple in the future and become important figures, and help the master who brought them in.

Fu Haichao was a candidate disciple selected by a monk from Fanyin Temple.

Therefore, what he told Fu Qingzhou at the beginning was not wrong... He was indeed chosen to practice, but after the golden elixir entered his stomach, he could not hold on and left with hatred.

In addition, the letter also recorded some details about the actions of Fanyin Temple to facilitate Fu Qingzhou's subsequent investigation.

At the end of the letter, Ning Baimei wrote: "This matter involves the Jinchan Temple. Most of the concubines in the harem are pilgrims of the temple. It is inconvenient for Mingjian Pavilion to intervene. This matter can be regarded as a private vendetta, not a public matter."

After reading the letter, Fu Qingzhou cursed loudly and began to pack up and go down the mountain.

Tang Jiao wanted to go along, but she was at the critical moment of breaking through the fourth realm from the third realm of Wuqiao. The Wanling Sword Forging Technique was an extremely advanced technique, and the method of cultivation was also unique. She needed to forge a life-defining spirit sword by herself before breaking through the fourth realm. There were ores and forges on the mountain, but her skills were immature and it was difficult for her to do it...

Therefore, she could only slowly forge the magic sword on the mountain, not daring to stop, and naturally could not go with him.

Ning Baimei's letter marked the location of Fanyin Temple and the name and identity of the monk who killed Fu Haichao. If Fu Qingzhou wanted to find this person, it would be best for him to first go to Dongxuan Lake, a thousand miles east of Langhuan Mountain, where Fanyin Temple was located.

Therefore, after he came down the mountain, he headed eastwards and soon arrived at the Wanshi Town. He also heard that nine people had died here within a month and all of them had been disfigured and disemboweled by sharp knives.

Today, Fu Qingzhou listened outside the hall for a while and found out that the so-called "murderer" Zhou Lesheng actually had no motive for committing the crime and the magistrate had no evidence in his hands. He was probably tortured into confessing and used as a scapegoat, so he took action.

Being a knight is necessary for practicing the Yi Ran Jue and is also what his heart desires. When he sees injustice, he should draw his sword and help.

As I was thinking, I heard hurried footsteps and a burst of cursing in the side hall.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"When did I ask someone to investigate the case? Isn't the case already closed? Is there something wrong with your head?"

"I was so stupid back then. I promised your sister that you would be the head of this city. How could you be so stupid?!"

As they were talking, the magistrate named Chen and the captain walked out together. Magistrate Chen's face was full of anger, while the captain looked confused and aggrieved.

"you!"

County Magistrate Chen walked into the side hall and saw Fu Qingzhou at a glance. He strode forward and said, "No matter where you are from..."

Halfway through his words, he met a pair of eyes that exuded a strange power.

"...Uh, so it is..." County Magistrate Chen's expression suddenly softened.

Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly: "My last name is Fu."

"Young Master Fu!"

County Magistrate Chen smiled and said, "You are finally here! Would you like to read the files first or perform an autopsy?"
