The master is too straightforward and never thinks about himself.
If only he could be a little more selfish...
Maybe he is a very rich and powerful person.
Why would she need to live in that shabby village of hers for so long?
"I know your master isn't that kind of person. We do know that the head of the Jin family knew about this when they were escorting the artifacts, but the current head doesn't want to know. Although they haven't said it, judging by their actions, the Jin family wants to obtain the artifacts and then frame your master for the crime. That way, they can enjoy the glory without having to bear the blame."
As Liu Xiangnan listened to the words of Taoist Zhizhen, his resentment towards the Jin family grew deeper and deeper!
"Your master erased all traces and never contacted me, so I had no way of informing him. I had no choice but to keep an eye on the Jin family, but I didn't hear that they had captured your master. It wasn't until your freshman year that your master suddenly mailed me a letter saying that he was doing well and that I shouldn't worry about him or look for him. He also asked me to take good care of you if I saw you."
Taoist Zhizhen sighed and said, "If I had known that the letter was the last communication between us brothers, I would not have listened to your master. I would have used the letter to search for your master's whereabouts, and in this way, I could have saved your master's life."
Perhaps because he was unable to save Jiang Mingyue in time, Taoist Zhizhen's eyes became red when he said this.
Seeing that Taoist Zhizhen was in so much pain that he wanted to cry, Liu Xiangnan felt really bad too, but she wanted to comfort Taoist Zhizhen.
"Master, don't worry. After all, things are unpredictable. Moreover, man proposes, God disposes. Even if we calculate some information, we can't avoid it when disaster strikes."
It was like she had calculated that Tian Anji's house would not fall apart until two years at the latest, but he ended up playing with girls and causing them to have abortions, which increased his sins and caused his house to fall apart early.
Cheng Jie was clearly just a little unlucky and only suffered minor injuries.
However, out of jealousy and hatred for her family, she got into a car accident, became a vegetable, and was possessed by a ghost...
Little devil...
Liu Xiangnan looked at Zhizhen Taoist: "Uncle Master, there is a girl I know who has a little ghost on her body. In this case, how can we subdue the little ghost?"
What she can do are some relatively "quiet" things.
Like catching ghosts or monsters, because she was studying at the time, Jiang Mingyue didn't want her to be targeted by ghosts and monsters, so she didn't take her to catch monsters, but only taught her some theoretical knowledge.
Taoist Zhizhen suppressed his sadness and asked Liu Xiangnan.
"Is her name Cheng Jie?"
"Uncle Master, you know about this even though you're not in City A?"
Liu Xiangnan looked at Zhizhen Taoist as if he was looking at a god in heaven.
"If you hadn't called me, I would have come to City A this time. A boss whose family is in the furniture business told me that his son has been very close to a woman recently. After returning home, he always steals valuable things from the house to give to the woman. His health has also been fluctuating. Originally thinking that it was just a simple scam, the boss's wife took the money and asked the woman to leave. As a result, Old White Lady was bitten to death by the woman. The boss called some young Taoist priests from City A and said that the devil of greed was possessed and they couldn't control it, so they had to come to me."
Greedy ghost?
Liu Xiangnan blinked. He didn't expect that in this world, there are also ghosts and monsters that are greedy for money.
"You said before that you wanted to learn ghost hunting from me for a while, right?"
"yes."
Liu Xiangnan nodded and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that you still remember it, uncle."
"You were entrusted to me by my senior brother before he passed away. Even if you are half my apprentice, I will naturally remember whatever you want."
Taoist Zhizhen stood up and said, "There's no rush to learn how to catch ghosts. It'll take at least three years, and at most ten years. First, you should find out more about your master. Once you're free from distractions, I'll teach you how to catch ghosts."
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle."
Taoist Zhizhen looked at the time. It was almost midnight. "I should go and meet Cheng Jie."
In fact, Liu Xiangnan also wanted to go in her heart, but she knew that her Taoist skills were not very advanced at the moment, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Zhizhen Taoist, so she gave a few words of advice on safety, and together with Lu Xiangbei, sent Zhizhen Taoist away.
After he left, Liu Xiangnan looked at the road heading north.
"Now we have a clue. We know that the Jin family targeted Master because of the cultural relics that were moved south. So, let's continue our investigation in this direction and see if we can find the group that killed Master?"
Lu Xiangbei sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed, with a serious look on his face.
"If the secret in the portrait might be related to the cultural relics that were moved south, your master also anticipated that the Jin family would find him and kill him. Therefore, he gave the things to you in advance. Then why did the Jin family never come to you? It doesn't seem logical."
His people had been secretly watching Liu Xiangnan for so long, but they had never heard of anyone showing up rashly to capture Liu Xiangnan, or being particularly nice to Liu Xiangnan to find out whether she knew the whereabouts of the treasure.
Liu Xiangnan thought about it carefully, yes!
She was Jiang Mingyue's apprentice. After his death, if the people of the Jin family wanted to find the whereabouts of the cultural relics, the first thing they should do was search the Jiang family and carefully identify all the relics of their master. The second thing they should do was approach her to test whether she knew about it.
But her master had passed away four years earlier, and no one had ever come to ask her about his past.
"Don't the Jin family know that I am Master's apprentice?"
When she was broadcasting live, she never said who her master was.
Every time, he would calculate the other party’s geographical location, or make some Dharma gestures at the request of netizens.
As for the time in the countryside, except for Chen Hong who didn't know that she had learned metaphysics from Jiang Mingyue, the other elderly people were more or less aware of it.
Don’t those people from the Jin family do any investigation?
While Liu Xiangnan was confused, Lu Xiangbei looked at the magical weapons on the table.
"How many people know now that your master gave you the magic weapon?"
Liu Xiangnan thought for a moment and said, "Right now, it's just you and my uncle."
"First, protect the magic weapon in case there really is a secret inside. Also, if we want to solve the mystery, we can't just rely on guessing. We need help from outside."
"foreign aid?"
Liu Xiangnan was confused.
…
In the police station.
In the case of Mai Ting's murder, the police quickly identified a suspect.
Mai Ya specifically contacted Liu Xiangnan because the last time Mai Ting got into trouble, Liu Xiangnan said that if the police had any clues, they could notify her, because she wanted to know whether Mai Ting’s murder was related to the statue of Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Based on the traces at the scene, the matching of the bullet and the pistol, and the surveillance footage nearby, the person who killed your father is Chen Dayong."
"Thank you!"
She wiped her tears with her hands and thanked the police officers one by one. "Then may I ask why Chen Dayong was able to kill my father?"
