    Chapter 132 Ninety-nine ghost clothes hidden in danger

    Xie Lian immediately stood up and said, "Brilliant Immortal?!"

    Of course the silhouette didn't respond, didn't move, just stood still. Thanks for holding the other two people with both hands left and right, and whispered: "Don't move."

    After a while, a gust of night wind blew, and the humanoid silhouette seemed to let out a sigh, collapsed, and disappeared with the wind. Xie Lian suddenly stood up, and at this moment, there was an abrupt "knock knock" knock on the door of the dye house. The three of them looked back, thanking them for pity: "Who?"

    A male voice said outside: "His Royal Highness, it's me."

    Xie pity opened the door in the past, and outside the dyeing workshop was a man with a bright face and a straight face, who came in with his hands behind his back. Xie Lian was slightly stunned and said: "Lingwen, why did you come in person?"

    Lingwen straightened his sleeves and said: "I heard your highness, the Crown Prince, you are very difficult. I am afraid that ordinary priests can't handle it, so I will come and see for myself. Hello, His Royal Highness Qiying, why are you sitting on the ground? What's the matter? "

    It is the spirit of the male phase. Xie Lian walked to the curtain, opened it, and it turned out to be empty. After a while, he turned around and said, "The Immortal Jinyi has appeared."

    Lingwen wondered: "What?"

    Thanks for the pity: "It should be right. It is a young man, very tall, two inches taller than me, looking at the shape of the skeleton, he must be a skilled warrior."

    Lingwen hesitated a little and said, "Your Highness, Prince, are you sure? In the past so many years, I have never heard of Jinyi Immortal appearing in front of people. Besides, didn't you say that there are no genuine items in these ninety-eight ghost clothes? Could it be someone pretending to be a ghost and deceiving?"

    Thanks for the pity: "I'm afraid not. After the turmoil just now, in order to prevent the ghost clothes from flowing out and harassing mortals, we closed the doors and windows and set up an array. The things inside can't get out, and the things outside can't get in. There are only three of us in this dye house, who can be a ghost?"

    After pondering for a moment, Lingwen said: "So, is the genuine product encountering a special situation? Or, the silhouette you see is a ghost attached to other ghost clothes?"

    Lang Ying and Quan Yizhen squatted on the ground, seemingly in a daze. Xie Lian and Lingwen stood aside with their arms folded in the attitude of adults, and discussed it seriously for a while. Finally, Lingwen suggested: "I think, it's better to bring these ghost clothes to Lingwen Hall first, and let me over there. Who are you looking for? It’s really not good, next time you gather and ask, there will always be experts in heaven.”

    After thinking about it, Xie Lian nodded and said: "Alright, but, after all, this is a task entrusted to us, and I still want to complete it a little bit more thoroughly. Since the genuine Jinyi Immortal is inside, I will try to find a way. If there is no result tomorrow, I will hand over these ninety-eight ghost clothes to you." After all, this matter was not in the charge of Lingwen Temple. Lingwen said: "Why should your Highness be polite? By the way, if you send it tomorrow, let's send one hundred and one."

    Thanks for a moment: "Why are there three more pieces?" Then he reacted, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the three clothes we wear?"

    Lingwen said: "It's not impossible."

    Xie Lian raised the cuffs of the Taoist robe that had been worn off the thread and said: "I have worn this robe for four or five years, and it must be no problem. The one on Lang Ying's body was newly bought by me, but he did not treat me. He told Lang Ying not to work, but Lang Ying chopped firewood; let him stay at home, and Lang Ying followed him out the door. Lingwen shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. Your Highness, you don't know, this brocade clothing fairy is very evil, and if there is one piece of it here, the evil will spread to other ordinary clothes. In short, to be on the safe side, today you guys Don't wear the clothes you're wearing anymore, just get rid of them."

    Hearing this, Xie Lian hurriedly took off the coats of Lang Ying and Quan Yizhen, and said: "Don't wear them, don't wear them, take them off, take them off. Then, I will pack the clothes and send them to you tomorrow. Go to Lingwen Temple."

    Lingwen said: "I will send someone to fetch it?"

    Thanks for the pity: "No, no. I have to trouble you every time, I am very embarrassed, and I want you to run in person. You are too busy over there, let me come."

    The next day, Xie Lian took great pains to pack a lot of clothes, and went to Xianjing alone with several huge burdens on his back.

    Lingwen has been waiting in the hall for a long time. Today, the hall is not as busy and crowded as usual, and the hall is fascinated. Xie Lian untied several large packs of ghost clothes, and the colorful clothes burst open and spread all over the floor. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, Lingwen walked over and said, "Is there any gain?"

    Xie Lian sighed helplessly: "Ashamed, I have gained nothing. I'm sorry first, there is no one around, it is inevitable that I will lose everything. Yesterday, a lot of clothes were messed up, and I don't know if they missed it or not. I always feel like I missed one or two pieces, but Not so sure."

    Lingwen said: "No problem." He nodded and said, "It is indeed missed. Your Royal Highness, it seems that the one worn by the kid beside you yesterday was confiscated?"

    Xie Lian made a fist with his right hand, and slammed it lightly in the palm of his left hand, saying: "Ah, you are right! I remembered that dress Lang Ying was used to wearing later, and I forgot to put it in. I am here. Just go back and get it."

    Lingwen smiled and said: "No hurry, your Highness walk slowly."

    However, Xie Lian did not leave, but stood still, and his expression gradually became solemn. Lingwen was about to instruct his subordinate priests to come up and take down the ghost clothes. When he turned around and saw that he was still there, there were only two people in the hall, and asked strangely: "His Royal Highness, what else do you have to do?"

    Xie Lian looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "It's nothing. Just, I'm thinking, if I send the real Jin Yixian, will you take the real thing and hide it as soon as I turn around?"

    "..."

    Lingwen smiled slightly, but was still extremely polite, and said, "Your Highness?"

    Xie Lian looked at her peacefully and said, "From the beginning, I had a vague idea."

    Lingwen calmly said: "What's the idea?"

    Thanks for the pity: "Ordinary people and ordinary monsters and ghosts do not dare to trespass the Shenwu Temple. If anyone is familiar with the Shenwu Temple and can steal the guarded things there without being caught on the spot, I am afraid, except for Junwu himself, it is the spirit Wen Zhenjun, you are."

    After all, the Lingwen Temple traveled to and from the various halls all the year round, and it could be said that they were so familiar with other people's sites that they couldn't be more familiar.

    Lingwen smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, this is a bit taken for granted. 'Whoever is easiest to do, whoever is most doubtful'. According to your thinking, isn't it more likely that the emperor is guarding himself and stealing?"

    Xie Lian nodded and said: "I admit, this is taken for granted. However, what started to make me feel wrong was the half-face makeup girl."

    Lingwen said: "What happened to the half-face makeup girl?"

    Thanks for the pity: "It took a fake brocade clothing fairy, and just asked me at the door, how could it be so coincidental? Moreover, it just wanted to write suspiciousness on its face, as if I was afraid that I would not suspect that she has Ghostly, the purpose is too strong."

    "Oh? For what purpose?"

    Thanks for the pity: "Didn't she already say it? 'Trading old for new'. What she wants is the old clothes in my Bodhisattva View!"

    In retrospect, the Jinyi Immortal was stolen, and the Shenwu Temple found it very quickly and responded quickly. As soon as it was stolen, it began to be traced. Therefore, the thief may not dare to keep it in his own hands, and will hide it first. So, where are the most difficult to find hiding places?

    Hidden leaves in the forest.

    If Xie Lian wanted to hide the Jinyi Immortal, he would turn it into a very inconspicuous ordinary linen, throw it into the world market, and stare at him from a distance. Such a rough dress, according to common sense, no one would want to buy it at all. But Xie Lian's life cannot be speculated with common sense. He himself has worn edging robes for four or five years, and the money in his hand is only enough to buy this kind of clothes. Moreover, his current requirements for clothes are to keep warm and clean, and he does not pick and choose, and he has the ability to pick the most dangerous one among countless clothes on sale, so he He was delighted to buy back the legendary Jin Yixian at a very low price.

    Lingwen said: "Your Highness, what you said is going too far. After all, you are born in a martial arts, and you know that the half-face makeup girl who comes to the door will be subdued by you immediately. No matter new clothes or old clothes, bring them all with you. not going."

    Thanks for the pity: "She really can't take it all away, but who said she has to take it away? If there is no accident, how will it be dealt with in the end?"

    If Xie Lian thinks that the half-faced makeup girl is holding a real Jin Yixian, it will definitely be reported to Lingwen, and then Lingwen will most likely come down in person, like yesterday, tell Xie Lian, for the sake of safety, to be present at the scene. All the clothes were taken back to the Lingwen Hall for disposal.

    It's a pity that Quan Yizhen was also present at that time. Moreover, he didn't expect that he would have experience after wearing it once, and he was directly convinced that the brocade clothes were fake. In this way, it is not so logical for Lingwen to come and collect all the clothes in the Bodhisattva Temple.

    All the news of Xie Lian is given by Lingwen, and she can ask questions openly and honestly, so as to keep abreast of Xie Lian's movements. After the half-faced makeup girl was seen, Lingwen immediately sent a new psychic to Xie Lian, telling him that there were many fakes out of the ghost market that needed to be dealt with, and he was given a new task, which made him too late to think about the strangeness. Thanks for the pity: "I don't know if those fakes flowed out from you, but the news is indeed what you told me. In this step, I probably want to transfer me from the Bodhisattva Temple, and then start with Lang Ying. "

    Who knows, Lang Ying also came out.

    "I don't know that Jin Yixian's sudden appearance is not what you expected, but it is not difficult for you to adapt accordingly."

    There are so many ghost clothes, don’t know if they are true or not. In the chaos, there is always a chance to touch the real Jinyi Fairy; and when the Jinyi Fairy appears, Lingwen can also appear in person, and take away the clothes of everyone present; There is no genuine product, and how to interpret the silhouette is all a matter of a word from the Lingwen Temple.

    Hearing this, Lingwen made a pause gesture and said: "His Royal Highness, please stop first? So, do you think Lang Ying is called that? Do you think the one he wears is the Jin Yixian? Don't Forget, after he put it on, he never listened to you, didn't he? This is what you said. You must know that Jin Yixian's power is extremely strong, even if he encounters a ghost king, he will not be an exception."

    Thanks for the pity: "You also said, 'I encountered a special situation'. As for what the special situation is, I think you know better than me, and I hope you can answer it for me."

    Lingwen frowned slightly, put his hands together, and said softly: "His Royal Highness, have you already identified me as a clothes thief? With all due respect, this makes me a little... unhappy."

    Xie Lian bowed his head slightly and said, "I apologize."

    Lingwen said: "I accept. However, Your Highness, if you must insist, it is not impossible. You can show evidence. After all, until now, it is still speculation."

    Xie Lian said slowly: "The evidence was not available before today, even before I stepped into the Lingwen Temple. However, it has been there since just now."

    Lingwen made an inviting gesture and said, "Please."

    Thanks for the pity: "The evidence is that just now, you didn't count the number of these ghost clothes at all."

    Lingwen's expression almost did not change, however, the brows slightly condensed. Thanks for the pity: "The ghost clothes I sent are indeed less, but not one less. In fact, I only sent you eighty-eight pieces, a full ten pieces!

    "For all the clothes that I thought were suspicious, I deducted them all and didn't send them to you, but you didn't notice the problem at all, but at a glance you found that Lang Ying's clothes weren't delivered-then may I ask, how are you alone? Only found that one missing?"

    Lingwen raised his hand and said, "Please wait a moment."

    She was not in a hurry, and ordered the ghost clothes on the ground again, and found that it was indeed eighty-eight. She remained calm, and said, "I think this can be explained by 'one hundred secrets and one sparse'."

    Thanks for the pity: "Okay. Since you have carefully checked it, you should have seen it one by one, then, let me tell you one thing: didn't you find out just now? The clothes Lang Ying wore yesterday is clearly In these eighty-eight ghost clothes!"

    Lingwen said: "His Royal Highness, what does this mean?"

    Xie pity squatted down, pulled out a piece of clothes from a mess, shook it away, and it was a simple white linen. He said, "This is what Lang Ying wore yesterday, isn't it right here? Why haven't you found it after you clicked it?"

    Lingwen said: "His Royal Highness should also know that this sackcloth is inconspicuous, and I haven't seen it in a hurry. I can't blame me for being blind."

    Thanks for the pity: "It's really inconspicuous. Then, with your meticulousness and stability, you work hard and be cautious, why would you rashly decide that such an inconspicuous piece of clothing is not here without counting the number. ?"

    Lingwen's smile remained unchanged, and said: "There are too many clothes, and my eyes are dazzled; the archives are a mountain, and I am stupid."

    Xie Lian said: "You don't have dazzling eyes, on the contrary, your eyes are too good. I will tell you the second thing: the clothes Lang Ying wore yesterday, I did not bring it. I have this one, It's just another piece I copied from the original one - but I copied it very carefully and carefully, how do you see at a glance that Lang Ying's genuine product is not here?"

    Lingwen said inexplicably: "Actually, whether it's true or false, I haven't seen it. Your Highness, have you done a lot of official business, and you can't help thinking too much on weekdays? Why do you have to spend so much time and energy to make an imitation? "

    Seeing her avoiding the edge, Xie Lian said: "It's not over yet. I'll tell you one last thing."

    He held up the white linen and said softly, "...This linen is just one I randomly picked in it just now. What's 'reproduced as it is' 'carefully and meticulously', it's all my nonsense. Ba Dao. As you said, why should I make a copy if I have nothing to do? You are fooled. It is not even the same color as the dress Lang Ying wore yesterday. I asked you with it, don't you think something is wrong? ?"

    "..."

    Xie Lian stared at Lingwen and said, "Lingwen, now, I just need you to answer a very simple question: What color was the dress Lang Ying was wearing yesterday?"

    Lingwen did not speak immediately, but slowly raised his eyes.

    The white linen fell to the ground, and thanked and said: "Dangtang's first literary god, every day in the heavenly court, tens of thousands of files are taken from your hands, no matter how big or small, so you don't have such a bad memory. Why did you even have Lang Ying's body yesterday? Can't remember what color you were wearing?"

    "You can't answer because you are on guard against me and deceive you, and dare not answer lightly; because you don't know what color it is; because yesterday, you saw him wearing a headless and sleeveless It's just a bag!"

    He said word by word: "The ever-changing Jinyi Immortal is nothing more than a very powerful blindfold. However, no matter how powerful this blindfold is, it will never be effective for one person - that is the person who made it by himself.

    "No matter how ever-changing it is, what you see in the eyes of the person who made it is always what it is. The weird cloth bag on the sleeve, of course, can immediately determine that Jin Yixian is not inside!"
