Chapter 70 About Luo Youfang
Master's words made it difficult for me to accept for a while.
When I met my uncle last time, he took me into the industry and gave me the soul-summoning banner. I thought he was actually a gentle elder, but his temperament was a bit strange. But in a blink of an eye, he became my enemy, and my master also asked me to clean up the portal.
When my master said this, his eyes were red, as if it was because of anger, but in this angry look, I also felt a kind of sadness. I think that for my master, my master Zhao Zongdian is indeed a very important person.
At this time, my senior brother Feng said next to me: "In this matter, there is no evidence that directly points to Zhao Zongdian. Regarding Zhao Zongdian, I have heard some mentions about my master. With his nature, he should not pass on the secret technique of Soul-Sealing Village to Luo Youfang."
The reason why Senior Brother Feng said this is not entirely to comfort my master. I know Senior Brother Feng too well. He is a very professional old criminal policeman. Such a profession can be reflected in almost all aspects of his life. Although he has an unusual intuition to judge cases, if he does not have the most direct evidence, he will not convict someone casually.
Senior Brother Feng has always been very cautious in determining whether a person is guilty.
My master's face turned a little better when he heard Senior Brother Feng's words, but he still said, "If it weren't for what he passed on to Luo Youfang, who else could it be? Do you know what those two girls were drinking? It was blood, blood on the body of the corpse! In the tomb that suppressed the corpse, except for Master Chen and I, Zhao Zongdian, only Zhao Zongdian knew how to open it. If he hadn't told Luo Youfang about the way to open the door, how did Luo Youfang steal the blood?"
The last question from Master doesn’t sound like he is asking back, but asking me, Senior Brother Feng.
Senior Brother Feng frowned and thought for a long time before he carefully speculated: "Maybe, when Uncle Master and Master Chen opened the tomb door, Luo Youfang followed behind and witnessed the whole process. I once heard from Master that Zhao Zongdian had obtained a set of magic tricks for concealment from a martial arts warlock. If he passed this magic trick to Luo Youfang, Luo Youfang would have been able to follow Uncle Master and Master Chen into the tomb without realizing it."
Listening to Senior Brother Feng's words, I felt a chill in my back.
Could it be that when Master took me into the tomb that day, Luo Youfang was hiding behind us? If he could even deceive my master, would he be staring at me in a dark corner when I was doing my homework and sleeping...
Thinking of this, I didn't dare to continue thinking about it anymore.
At this time, I saw my master nodding: "The yin energy in the tomb is extremely heavy. Luo Youfang is using hidden magic there, which will indeed have some miraculous effects. But no matter what, the method of refining corpses is only spread in the lineage of Shuzheng. Since Luo Youfang can use this method, my senior brother cannot escape it."
Senior Brother Feng nodded first, then shook his head: "It may not be. Luo Youfang is considered a disciple of Zhao Zongdian after all, so maybe this method was learned secretly from Zhao Zongdian. If it was a stealing master, this matter would have no necessary connection with Zhao Zongdian."
This is how I, Senior Brother Feng. Every time I encounter such an unexplainable thing, he will pass all the possibilities in his mind.
However, I have to say that Senior Brother Feng’s way of thinking is still very reliable.
When Senior Brother Feng finished speaking, my master's face had returned to normal.
After a moment of silence, the master sighed: "Oh, I hope that the matter is what you said. But my senior brother has been missing for so many years and has no news at all. If he doesn't stand up and explains this kind of thing, no one can understand it."
While speaking, the master picked up the water that Senior Brother Feng had handed him before and took a sip.
At this time, Senior Brother Feng spoke: "One person may know about Zhao Zongdian's whereabouts."
My master put down the water cup and looked at Senior Brother Feng with some confusion.
Senior Brother Feng paused and said, "I also heard from Junior Brother Bao some time ago that people from Jiufengshan will also participate in this year's market. Why don't Uncle Master take this opportunity to ask the old ghost in Jiuquyixiangwang?"
My master nodded suddenly, but seemed to become a little worried, and murmured: "Even he is here? It seems that the market this year is in a lot of trouble!"
Later, Senior Brother Feng asked my master again, if he needed to look for someone to watch that year. After all, Luo Youfang already knew the entrance to the tomb. If he was not careful, no one would know what other chaos he would have caused.
My master waved his hand and said, "The market is approaching, Luo Youfang will put it in advance. As for the matter on the Lungou Mountain, I have already instructed Lao Chen. With him watching, Luo Youfang can't make a comeback. By the way, Youyi, you are going to this year's market, right?"
Senior Brother Feng nodded: "I'll definitely go there. But there are two cases on hand that have not been processed, so it may be a little later to go there."
I heard my master say, "This year's market is different from the past. I want to walk two days earlier and go back to prepare. When you leave, take Youdao and the other two on the road together."
Senior Brother Feng could not refuse the master’s request.
In fact, Liang Houzai and I were a little happy when we heard that our master was not going along with us. At least on the way, no one would take our school exams from time to time.
But what I didn't expect was that my master went to the prefecture-level city that morning and hurried back to Sichuan on the earliest train.
Liang Houzai and I had breakfast in the police station, and Senior Brother Feng drove us home.
I was sitting in the passenger seat, still worried about Luo Youfang's affairs. When Senior Brother Feng stopped the car and waited for the red light, he probably saw that my face was not very good, so he asked me: "What's wrong, what are you thinking?"
I asked Senior Brother Feng with some concern: "Senior Brother, is Luo Youfang very powerful?"
At this time, the green light was on. Senior Brother Feng changed the gears and said with a smile: "Are you worried about Luo Youfang's concealment technique? Haha, it's unnecessary. His magic can only work in places with heavy yin energy, and it is basically useless in normal times. Speaking of which, Zhao Zongdian's magic spell is mostly driven by yin energy, but yin energy is a kind of external force after all, and it is not as pure as the things that Uncle Chai taught you."
I was a little puzzled: "Is my master's inheritance different from that of my master?"
Senior Brother Feng nodded and said to me: "You are the main lineage and divide it into two branches of Yin and Yang in terms of inheritance. Uncle Chai belongs to the Yang branch, and Zhao Zongdian is the Yin branch. Simply put, the inheritance of the Yang branch is mostly to suppress corpses and remove corpses, while the Yin branch is to refine corpses and raise corpses. The inheritance of your two branches is different in terms of roots."
I asked Senior Brother Feng again: "Then, who is better, my master or uncle?"
Senior Brother Feng still smiled and said, "This kind of thing is not good. The urging of all the magic techniques of you and Uncle Chai is based on the mental power obtained from practice for many years. The longer the practice is, the more refined the Taoist practice, the greater the power of the magic. However, the Yin branch relies on borrowing power. Most of the magic techniques in this branch are quick, but in terms of power, they are greatly affected by the environment. Most of the magic weapons passed down by the Yin branch are also driven by external forces, in addition to the soul-summoning banner."
Speaking of this, Senior Brother Feng paused and then said to me: "Actually, I think the case of Zhang Xiaopan should have nothing to do with Zhao Zongdian. He should not trust Luo Youfang's disciple, and he could even be wary of it. When you entered the industry, Zhao Zongdian gave you the Gen banner. I think he probably wanted you to keep the banner to prevent it from falling into Luo Youfang's hands, but this is all my guess. Only Zhao Zongdian can explain clearly what the matter is."
"Isn't Luo Youfang the disciple of my master? If my master doesn't want to hand over the soul-suming banner to him, can he still rob it?" I asked Senior Brother Feng in confusion.
I thought that the relationship between master and apprentice should be like me and my master.
Senior Brother Feng shook his head: "Although Luo Youfang is a disciple of Zhao Zongdian, no one admits that he is from Jihunzhuang, and I am afraid that even Zhao Zongdian himself will not admit it. So you can't look at him from the perspective of the disciples of Jihunzhuang. Actually, I always find it strange that with Zhao Zongdian's temperament, after Youjun's death, I shouldn't accept disciples again. Moreover, my uncle and I have investigated Luo Youfang before. He is very mysterious and can hardly find any information about him. I only know that he impersonated Hong Kong businessmen in the mainland and Hong Kong as a mainland businessmen, cheated a lot of money. Logically speaking, the money he cheated was enough for him to eat for a lifetime, but he has been cheating and doesn't know what he wants to do. No matter what he wants to do, it's always a bad mind. Zhao Zongdian originally decided not to accept such disciples. The relationship between him and Luo Youfang is probably not as simple as a master and apprentice."
At this time, Liang Houzai asked behind him: "Can't you catch him?"
Senior Brother Feng seemed helpless: "I have issued a wanted order, including many colleagues from Taoism, but I can't catch him. In fact, this is what I don't understand the most. No matter how capable Luo Youfang is, it is said that he will find it difficult for him to escape after we set up a net of heaven and earth, so I have always felt a very bad feeling. There seems to be some people behind him to answer him."
The police station is not far from where I live. Just as Senior Brother Feng was talking, the car had already driven into the gate of the family courtyard.
Actually, I wanted to inquire about Zhang Youjun, but at this time I saw my parents waiting anxiously at the door, and I felt my heart suddenly tighten, and I couldn't say anything I said.
As soon as I opened the car door, my mother ran over, grabbed my hand, and asked me nervously: "What's wrong? Why are you still in the bureau? What's going on?"
