    ☆, Chapter 132 Ninety-nine ghosts hidden in danger

    Xie Lian immediately stood up and said: “Jin Yi Xian?!”

    Of course the silhouette didn’t respond or move, it just stood there.Xie Lian held down the other two people with both hands, one on the left and the other on the right, and whispered: “Don’t move.”

    After a while, a gust of night wind blew by, and the human silhouette seemed to sigh and disintegrate, disappearing with the wind.Xie Lian suddenly stood up. At this moment, there was a sudden “knock, knock” knock on the door of the dyeing workshop.The three of them all looked back and said thankfully: “Who?”

    A male voice said outside: “Your Highness, it’s me.”

    Xie Lian went over and opened the door. Outside the dyeing workshop was a man with a bright face and a pure appearance. He 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, “His Royal Highness, you said it’s difficult. I’m afraid ordinary priests can’t handle it, so I came to see it myself. Hi, Your Highness Qiying, why are you sitting on the ground? What’s wrong with you, looking like this?”

    It is the spiritual text of male appearance.Xie Lian walked to the curtain, opened it and saw that it was empty. After a while, he turned back and said: “The Immortal in Jinyi has appeared.”

    Lingwen asked curiously: “What?”

    Xie Lian said: “It should be right. He is a young man, very tall, two inches taller than me. Judging from the shape of his skeleton, he must be a skilled warrior.”

    Lingwen hesitated slightly and said: “Your Highness, are you sure? In the past many years, I have never heard of the Jinyi Immortal appearing in front of people. Moreover, didn’t you say that there are no genuine items in these ninety-eight ghost clothes? Could it be that someone is pretending to be a ghost and deceiving?”

    Xie Lian said: “I’m afraid not. After the turmoil just now, in order to prevent the ghost clothes from leaking out and harassing mortals, we closed the doors and windows and set up a formation so that the things inside can’t get out and the things outside can’t get in. There are only three of us in this dyeing workshop, 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 an innocent soul 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 as adults, and discussed seriously for a while. Finally, Lingwen suggested: “I think it’s better to bring these ghost clothes to Lingwen Hall first and let the people over there have a look? If it doesn’t work, we can ask at the next meeting. There are always experts in heaven.”

    After thinking about it, he nodded gratefully and said: “That’s fine, but after all, this is a task entrusted to us, and I still want to complete it more thoroughly. Since the authentic Jinyi Immortal is inside, I will try another way. If there is no result tomorrow, I will transfer these ninety-eight ghost clothes to you.” After all, this matter is not under the control of Lingwen Palace.Ling Wen said: “Why should you be so polite, Your Highness? By the way, if I send it tomorrow, I’d better send one hundred and one.”

    Xie Lian was startled: “Why are there three more pieces?” Then he realized, “Do you suspect there is something wrong with the three clothes we are wearing?”

    Lingwen said: “It’s not impossible.”

    Xie Lian raised the cuffs of the Taoist robe that had become threadbare and said, “I’ve been wearing this robe for four or five years, so it must be fine. I bought the one on Lang Ying newly, but he didn’t obey me, so it should be fine.” He asked Lang Ying to stop working, but Lang Ying still chopped firewood; he told him to stay at home, and Lang Ying followed him out the door.Ling Wen shook his head and said, “That’s not what I meant. Your Highness, you don’t know something. The evil aura of these brocade clothes is very strong. If there is one here, the evil aura will be transmitted to other ordinary clothes. In short, to be on the safe side, it is better not to wear any of the clothes you are wearing today and get rid of them.”

    Hearing this, Xie Lian hurriedly took off the coats of Lang Ying and Quan Yizhen, and said: “Don’t put it on, don’t put it on, take it off, take it off. Then, tomorrow I will pack the clothes and send them to Lingwen Hall.”

    Lingwen said: “Should I send someone to get it?”

    Thanks for the pity: “No, no need. I’m sorry to bother you every time, but I still need you to go there in person. You guys are too busy over there, so I’ll do it.”

    The next day, Xie Lian really worked hard to pack a lot of clothes, and went up to Xianjing alone carrying several huge baggage.

    Lingwen has been waiting in the hall for a long time. Today, the hall is not as busy and crowded as usual, and people are wandering around.Xie Lian untied several large bags of ghost clothes, and the colorful clothes exploded and spread all over the floor.He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, and Ling Wen came over leisurely and said, “Is there anything gained?”

    Xie Lian helplessly sighed: “Ashamed, I got nothing. I’d like to apologize first. There’s no one around, so it’s inevitable that things will be lost. Yesterday, a lot of clothes were in a mess, and I don’t know if they were missing. I always feel like I missed one or two pieces, but I’m not sure.”

    Ling Wen said: “No problem.” He lowered his head and nodded, “It was indeed missed. Your Highness, it seems that the one worn by the kid next to you yesterday was not brought in?”

    Xie Lian made a fist with his right hand, lightly punched the palm of his left hand, and said: “Ah, you are right! I remembered that Lang Ying wore that dress habitually, and I forgot to put it in. I will go back and get it now.”

    Lingwen smiled and said: “Don’t be in a hurry, Your Highness, walk slowly.”

    However, Xie Lian did not leave. Instead, he stood still and his expression gradually became serious.Lingwen was about to ask his priests to come up and collect the ghost clothes. When he turned around and saw that he was still there, there were only two people in the hall. He asked strangely: “Your Highness, do you have anything else to do?”

    Xie Lian looked at her with complicated eyes and said: “It’s nothing. It’s just that I was thinking, if I send the real Jin Yi Xian, will you take away the real thing and hide it as soon as I turn around?”

    “…”

    Lingwen’s smile faded slightly, but he was still extremely polite and said: “Your Highness?”

    Xie Lian looked at her calmly and said: “From the beginning, I had a vague idea.”

    Lingwen said calmly: “What do you think?”

    Xie Lian said: “Ordinary people and ordinary monsters and ghosts would not dare to break into the Shenwu Palace without permission. If there is anyone who is familiar with the Shenwu Palace and can steal the guarded things there without being caught on the spot, I am afraid, except for Junwu himself, it is you, the Lord Lingwen.”

    After all, Lingwen Palace travels between various palaces all the year round, and it can be said that it is extremely familiar with other people’s territory.

    Ling Wen smiled and said: “His Royal Highness, this may be taken for granted. ‘Whoever can do it the easiest is the most suspicious.’ According to your thinking, isn’t it more likely that the emperor is guarding and stealing?”

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

    Ling Wen said: “What’s wrong with the half-faced girl?”

    Xie Lian said: “It took a fake brocade fairy and asked me to come to my door. How could it be such a coincidence? Moreover, it just wanted to write its suspicion on its face, as if it was afraid that I would not suspect that she was a ghost. It was so purposeful.”

    “Oh? What’s the purpose?”

    Xie Lian said: “Didn’t she already say it? ‘Trade the old for the new’. What she wants is the old clothes in my Bodhisattva Temple!”

    Extrapolating back, the Jinyi Immortal was stolen, and the Shenwu Palace discovered it quickly and responded quickly. It started tracing it as soon as it was stolen. Therefore, the thief might not dare to keep it in his own hands and would hide it first.So, where is the least likely hiding place to find?

    Hidden leaves in the forest.

    If Xie Lian wanted to hide Jin Yi Xian, he would turn it into an extremely inconspicuous ordinary linen garment, throw it into the human market, and watch it from afar.Normally speaking, no one would want to buy such a rough piece of clothing.But Xie Lian’s life cannot be judged by common sense. He himself has been wearing frayed Taoist robes for four or five years, and the money in his hand is only enough to buy such clothes.Moreover, his current requirements for clothes are to keep them warm and clean, and he is not picky. In addition, he has the ability to pick out the most dangerous clothes among countless clothes on sale, so he happily bought the legendary Jinyi Fairy at an extremely low price.

    Ling Wen said: “Your Highness, what you said is going too far. After all, you are a Martial God. You know that the half-dressed girl who comes to your door will be subdued by you immediately. No matter whether you are wearing new or old clothes, you cannot take them with you.”

    Xie Lian said: “It is true that she cannot take everything away, but who said she must be taken away? If there is no accident, what will happen in the end?”

    If Xie Lian thought that the half-faced girl was holding the real Jinyi Immortal, he would definitely report it to Lingwen, and then Lingwen would probably come down in person and tell Xie Lian like he did yesterday that for the sake of safety, all the clothes present should be taken back to Lingwen Hall for disposal.

    Unfortunately, Quan Yizhen was also present at that time.Moreover, he didn’t expect that he had experience after wearing it once, and he was directly convinced that the brocade clothes were fake.In this case, it is not so logical for Lingwen to come and collect all the clothes in Bodhisattva Temple.

    All of Xie Lian’s information was given by Ling Wen, and she could also ask questions openly and understand Xie Lian’s movements at any time.After the half-faced girl was seen through, Lingwen immediately sent a new channel to Xie Lian, telling him that many fakes had leaked out of the ghost market and needed to be dealt with, and gave him a new task, leaving him no time to think about the strangeness.Xie Lian said: “I don’t know if those fakes leaked out from you, but you did tell me the news. This step is probably to transfer me away from Bodhisattva Temple and then attack Lang Ying.”

    Unexpectedly, Lang Ying also followed.

    “I don’t know if Jin Yi Xian’s sudden appearance was expected by you, but it’s not difficult for you to adapt to changes.”

    With so many ghost clothes, it is unknown whether they are authentic or not, and in the chaos, there is always a chance to steal the genuine Jin Yi Xian; and Jin Yi Xian appears, Ling Wen can also appear in person, and take away the clothes of everyone present openly; in the end, how to verify, judge whether there is authenticity, and how to explain the silhouette is all a matter of one sentence from Ling Wen Palace.

    Hearing this, Lingwen made a pause gesture and said: “Your Highness, please stop it for now? So, do you think Lang Ying is called that? Do you think the one he is wearing is Jin Yi Xian? Don’t forget, after he put it on, he didn’t obey your words, right? This is what you said yourself. You know, Jin Yi Xian is extremely powerful, even if he meets the Ghost King, he will not be an exception.”

    Xie Lian said: “You also said, ‘encountered a special situation’. As for what the special situation is, I think you know better than me. I hope you can answer it for me.”

    Lingwen frowned slightly, raised his hands, and said softly: “His Royal Highness, have you already decided that I am a clothes thief? With all due respect, this makes me a little… unhappy.”

    Xie Lian bowed his head slightly and said: “I apologize.”

    Ling Wen said: “I accept it. However, Your Highness, if you must insist, it is not impossible to provide evidence. After all, up to now, it is still speculation.”

    Xie Lian said slowly: “There was no evidence before today, and even before I stepped into Lingwen Palace, there was no evidence. But, from now on, there is it.”

    Lingwen made an invitation gesture and said: “Please.”

    Xie Lian said: “The evidence is that just now, you didn’t count the number of these ghost clothes at all.”

    Lingwen’s expression remained almost unchanged, but the tip of his eyebrows condensed slightly.Thanks for the pity: “The ghost clothes I sent are indeed missing, but it is not one missing. In fact, I only sent you eighty-eight pieces, a full ten pieces missing!

    “I withheld all the clothes that I thought were suspicious and didn’t send them to you. But you didn’t realize there was anything wrong with the number, but you noticed at a glance that Lang Ying’s piece was not sent – so how did you find out that one piece was missing?”

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

    She took her time and clicked on the ghost clothes on the ground again, and found that it was indeed true. She remained calm and said: “I think this can be explained by ‘a hundred secrets and one sparseness’.”

    Thanks for the pity: “Okay.Since you have carefully reviewed it and probably read it one by one, let me tell you one thing: Didn’t you notice just now?The clothes Lang Ying wore yesterday were clearly among the eighty-eight ghost clothes!”

    Lingwen said: “Your Highness, what does this mean?”

    Xie Lian squatted down and pulled out a piece of clothing from the mess on the ground. When he shook it open, it turned out to be a simple white linen garment.He said: “This is what Lang Ying wore yesterday, isn’t it right here?Why haven’t you found it after you clicked through it?”

    Ling Wen said: “His Royal Highness, you should also know that this linen garment is not eye-catching. You haven’t seen it in a hurry, so you can’t blame me for being ignorant.”

    Xie Lian said: “It is indeed inconspicuous.So, with your meticulousness and prudence, Lord Ling Wen, why would you rashly conclude that such an inconspicuous piece of clothing is not here without counting the number?”

    Lingwen’s smile did not change and he said: “There are too many clothes and I am dazzled; there are mountains of files and I am confused.”

    Xie Lian said: “You are not dazzled, on the contrary, your eyesight is too good.Let me tell you the second thing: I did not bring the clothes Lang Ying wore yesterday.The one I have is just another copy of the original one – but the copy I made is still very careful and meticulous. How did you tell at a glance that Lang Ying’s original one is not here?”

    Lingwen said inexplicably: “Actually, whether it’s true or false, I haven’t seen it.Your Highness, do you have too much official duties and can’t help but think too much on weekdays?Why waste so much time and energy on making a replica when you have nothing to do?”

    Seeing that she avoided the edge, he thanked Lian and said, “It’s not over yet.Let me tell you one last thing.”

    He held up the white linen garment and said softly: “…This linen garment is just a random piece I picked out just now.The words “copied it according to the original” and “carefully and meticulously” are all nonsense on my part.As you said, why should I make a replica if I have nothing to do?You’ve been fooled.It’s not even the same color as the dress Lang Ying wore yesterday. I’m holding it and asking you, don’t you feel anything is wrong?”

    “…”

    Xie Lian stared at Lingwen closely and said: “Lingwen, now, I only need you to answer a very simple question: What color was the clothes Lang Ying wore yesterday?”

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

    The white linen clothes fell to the ground, and he said with gratitude: “The most dignified literary god, I go to heaven and tens of thousands of books and documents are passed through your hands every day, no matter how big or small, so you don’t have such a bad memory.Why can’t you even remember the color of the clothes Lang Ying was wearing yesterday?”

    “You can’t answer because you are wary of me cheating you; you don’t dare to answer easily because you don’t know what color it is; because yesterday, you saw that what he was wearing was just a rag bag without head or sleeves!”

    He said every word: “The ever-changing appearance of Jinyi Immortal is nothing more than a powerful deception.However, no matter how powerful this deception is, it will never work on one person – the person who made it with his own hands.”

    “No matter how it changes, what you see in the eyes of the person who made it will always be its original appearance.Just now, you glanced at these eighty-eight ghost clothes and didn’t see the weird headless and sleeveless cloth bag inside. Of course you can immediately tell that Jin Yixian is not inside!”

    The author has something to say: OK, tomorrow the prince will tear off Huahua’s OOC vest!(You didn’t play the role of Lang Ying at all!
