At the critical moment, the advantage of having many friends is revealed. The Silver Demon King and the Soy Sauce Team made a lot of friends back then, and they really know everything.

Master Daoyuan is proficient in Buddhism and has extensive knowledge of various legends of gods and ghosts. At that time, he told Zhan Zhao what this weird five-eyed wood carving was.

Not to mention, if the chicken body is changed to a phoenix body, it will indeed be much more pleasing to the eye, at least it will change from a strange shape to a ghost.

Dao Yuan went out for business a while ago. He originally planned to find some friends to play with for a while before coming back, but before he left the city, he heard that someone was staying at the Royal Courtyard in Xishan, so he guessed that the Kaifeng Mansion was going to visit here.

So he came back early after finishing his errands. Sure enough, when he arrived at Lingyin Temple, the young disciple told him that three friends were here to look for him. Only then did Dao Yuan come to the other courtyard to find the Demon King and the others.

On the way, the monk heard the people in the city talking about the case of the floating corpse in the West Lake that was solved by the Kaifeng Mansion. He also looked at the wood carvings that Zhan Zhao and the others showed him. Master Daoyuan frowned, "So in the case of the floating corpse that year, the murderer did the murder for the purpose of getting money."

Eyes made of five-eyed phoenix?

Zhan Zhao and the others all nodded, probably.

The monk was a little puzzled, "The Five-Eyed Phoenix is ​​just a very partial legend of gods and monsters, similar to the Dishian and the Bixian, but it is not as popular as the two. In addition, this kind of Phoenix can only be carved out of wood, and the eyes are also carved. How many people love carvings?"

There are only a few carvings, why kill people in such an exaggerated way..."

Of course, everyone felt that things were very strange.

At the same time, Zhao Pu was very curious and asked the master, "Can the wood carving really find something?"

Others also nodded - it sounded very powerful, but of course it was also a bit evil.

Daoyuan asked everyone, "Is there any use in worshiping Buddha?"

Everyone glanced at Zhan Zhao subconsciously - Well, it depends on who bows.

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips - unhappy.

"If worshiping Buddha was useful, then there would be no birth, aging, sickness and death, and there wouldn't be so many people suffering," Daoyuan said.

Everyone squinted at Master - Master, you are a disciple of Buddhism, how can you say this!

Dao Yuan saw everyone's expressions and smiled slightly, "Then why do you worship Buddha?"

Everyone touched their chins - this... there are various reasons... and then looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath - be patient!

"Lingyin Temple is very popular. People go up the mountain to pray to Buddha every day. They make various wishes. They want Buddha to bless them to get rich, have children, get promoted, live long... If they go back after worshiping Buddha and their wishes come true, then

Is it because of Buddha’s blessing, or is it for other reasons?”

Everyone folded their arms and shook their heads - this was not possible.

"Isn't that right!" Daoyuan nodded, "Wishes that come true may not come true. Isn't it because the Buddha doesn't bless you?"

Everyone thought for a while and then looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao felt that he was being appreciated...

Dao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "If it's not that Buddha doesn't bless us, is it because Buddha doesn't work? But why do some people's wishes come true?"

Everyone was dumbfounded - how to say this kind of thing?

"Since some people can make wishes come true, isn't it wrong for people who don't make wishes to make wishes?"

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao subconsciously, as if to say - you listen to this paragraph well!

Zhan Zhao is angry—are you annoyed?

"So, why do we use real people's eyes to make wood carvings?" Daoyuan changed the topic and talked about the case.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all understood what the monk meant by what he said.

"Oh..." Gongsun asked, "In other words, the wood carving has been tried and it didn't work, so real eyes were used?"

Dao Yuan nodded, "This is the reason why everyone spends more money on sesame oil. I remember that this murder lasted for more than a year. Almost one person died every month, but you only found two wooden sculptures, right?

?”

Zhan Zhao and the others nodded, "Yes!"

"Then you only need ten eyeballs, why do you need to kill thirteen people?"

"There are still three eyeballs in the bottle." Gongsun said.

Daoyuan was curious, "Put it in a bottle?"

"Yeah!" Gongsun nodded, "Those eyeballs are soaked in a potion soaked in herbs to prevent rot."

Dao Yuan seemed to find it interesting, touching his chin and thinking.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both look at Tianzun and Yin Hou - who is this person? Why are they so old and so much more reliable than you two!

Yin Hou and Tianzun both squinted at their children - looking for a fight, aren't you two?

"Only ten eyes are needed, but thirteen are collected? Are the eyeballs in the wood carvings also incorruptible?" Dao Yuan asked.

Gongsun nodded, "Yes! I have seen this kind of potion before!"

Everyone looked at Gongsun—where had they seen him?

Gongsun said, "You know Lu Lin from Si Tianjian, right?"

Everyone nodded. This gentleman had found the gold pillars of the salt coffin before.

"Mr. Lu previously dug up an ancient tomb and took out a stone coffin. The coffin was filled with a jar of blood-like potion. In the potion, there was a female corpse with a intact face, no ulcers on the skin, and even the internal organs were well preserved.

.Refer to the funerary objects in the tomb, that ancient tomb is at least a thousand years old!"

Everyone was surprised - a thousand-year-old corpse?

Zhao Zhen nodded—Xiao Luzi told me about this matter.

Nangong also knew about this. He also accompanied Zhao Zhen to see the ancient corpse. It was indeed a well-preserved woman. Except for the skin being a little white after soaking in the potion, the rest was indeed well-preserved.

"Lord Lu asked me to study that potion." Gongsun said, "A large number of rare herbs are used in it, which is almost impossible to replicate. But if you can make something similar, the antiseptic effect must be compromised. Although it cannot achieve the antiseptic effect of thousands of years ago,

But it will definitely be fine if you keep it for ten to twenty years! The remaining potion in the bottle that Boss Qian used to hold his eyeballs has similar ingredients!"

Everyone looked at Gongsun—this clue might be useful.

Gongsun said that he is still studying the ingredients of that potion. There are two possible ways to obtain this potion. One is prepared now, so most of the herbs should be found now. The other is not prepared now,

So many herbs should no longer be found!

"That is to say, the murderer may have prepared the potion himself, or maybe he, like Lu Lin, dug up the ancient tomb and took the potion inside for current use?" Zhao Pu asked.

Gongsun nodded, "This needs to be clarified first, otherwise it may affect the direction of the investigation!"

Everyone was impressed - Mr. Sure enough, he is still the most reliable.

Bai Yutang asked Yuan, "Master, do you think there is something wrong with the number of eyes?"

Dao Yuan thought for a while, "Don't you think it's strange? What are the three extra eyeballs used for? Are you planning to keep them to make another Phoenix, or are these three useless? If they are useless

Can’t we just get rid of it? Why do we still keep it?”

"And the murderer starved to death!" Zhan Zhao simply told everyone the general facts of the case, and also showed Dao Yuan a letter from He Wanfeng.

Seeing the words "He Wanfeng" on the envelope, Dao Yuan seemed to be stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "What day is it today? When I came here just now, I saw two people standing on the bow of a painting boat on the West Lake.

At first glance, one of them thought it was He Wanfeng, he looks and has a similar temperament."

"What did the two of them wear?" Zhao Pu asked.

The master roughly described the clothes and appearance of the two people.

This morning He Yihang and Shen Shaoxi got up early and ran to the West Lake to play. Gongsun and Bai Yutang both saw them. Their clothes were similar to what the master described.

Tianzun said to Daoyuan, "That is He Wanfeng's great-grandson."

"Really?" The master was surprised.

Zhao Zhen nodded and nodded - that is my beloved! Deputy Marshal of the Song Dynasty!

After Dao Yuan read the letter written by Li She to He Wanfeng, he frowned and said, "Lou Dao?"

Everyone nodded and told the master about the Yu Qian Gang. They felt that the Lou Dao might also be fabricated. Yu Shuang and Qian Chongjiu were partners in deceiving Li She, but they failed later.

"So, Li She is somewhat similar to Caojia Village and Wangjia Village." Dao Yuan said.

Everyone thought about it and realized, yes - they are all from the old royal family and have huge ancestral assets.

At this point, another question arises - did the Yu Qian Gang specifically target the old royal family? How did they know? Yu Shuang told Tianzun that it was by referring to ancient documents. What documents?

Another point is that Yu Shuang died back then, so is Qian Chongjiu still alive who has already taken over? Could this boss Qian be a descendant of Qian Chongjiu?

"Master, have you seen Qian Chongjiu?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Dao Yuan shook his head, "I probably haven't met Li She before, but I think I met Wanqin many times. She also said that Qian Chongjiu didn't pay back the money she owed for a long time."

"Wanqin?" Tianzun and Yin Hou were stunned for a moment, and then asked in unison, "Xie Wanqin?"

Dao Yuan smiled, nodded, and asked, "I'm in Hangzhou, do you want to meet him?"

As soon as the words came out, Tianzun and Yin Hou shook their heads like rattles.

Tianzun couldn't help but say, "Oh! That girl is so powerful! I can't afford to offend her..."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Tianzun curiously - they clearly put you in the category of good men!
