He does have some skills

As soon as he heard the words "drilling in the woods", Qin Yi's face immediately turned dark.

"Let's not talk about that first."

"You just said there was something wrong with these corpses?"

Qin Yi turned his head and glanced at the corpses covered with white cloth.

"Are you sure? Do you want to check it carefully?"

As he spoke, he strode towards the body closest to him.

But just like what happened to Su Shixia just now, before he could even touch the body, the guards next to him had already stopped him.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has indeed ordered that this body cannot be touched by outsiders at will. Please, Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

"The Imperial Preceptor did not allow the body to be touched, because he was just worried about damage to the body."

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes coldly, "I don't know how to do an autopsy, but I can't even just lift up this white cloth and take a closer look?"

"this……"

The guards looked at each other, but no one dared to make any decision.

"you……"

Qin Yi was about to say something more when Su Shixia walked up to him at some point and reached out to gently tug on his sleeve.

Qin Yi turned to look at her and saw Su Shixia shaking her head at him slightly.

"I was just curious just now. You were also acting under orders. Since the Imperial Master has said that it cannot be seen by outsiders, we will not force it."

"but……"

"Since you were sent here, you should have heard about what happened yesterday."

Seeing the expressions of embarrassment on the guards' faces, Su Shixia followed up and said, "The demon named Jia encouraged others to poison me. It can be said that he and I have a deadly feud. It is really difficult not to find him and cut him into pieces."

Get rid of this bad breath in my heart."

"Although he has run away now, I think that since he has stayed in this Taoist temple for so many years, he should have left some valuable clues."

Su Shixia said: "The Imperial Preceptor is now ordered to investigate this case. If I am lucky enough to find any clues, I can also help the Imperial Preceptor to detect this case early, right?"

If Su Shixia directly asked to go see the scene, these people might not agree.

But she had already taken the initiative to give in. She didn't even want to examine the body but just wanted to see the ruins. These people were too embarrassed to refuse anymore.

After some discussion, the leading guard finally made a decision.

"Princess, you can go in and check, but you need us to accompany you. If possible, you'd better just look and don't touch anything inside."

"no problem."

Su Shixia agreed readily, and took Xiao Qin Zhan's hand to walk into the ruins. Ning Runxing, who had been hiding aside and not daring to step forward, suddenly stopped her.

"Hey! Why do you think you are someone's mother? Your son just had a shock last night and you forgot?"

"He looks just fine today, how dare you take him to that place!"

Ning Runxing glanced sideways at the ruins of the Taoist temple, trembling secretly, as if he didn't dare to look any further.

"People have died in that Taoist temple, and seven of them died in one night! It's a waste of time. The ghost is still lingering. Can there be a clean place in there? What if he encounters something unclean again after entering?

But what should I do?”

"No, I almost forgot about this matter if you didn't mention it."

As Su Shixia said this, she took Xiao Qin Zhan's hand and walked to Ning Runxing.

Ning Runxing was wondering what she was doing here when he saw Su Shixia pressing Xiao Qin Zhan's shoulders and pushing the child in front of him.

"I'll just go in and take a look around. I should be back soon. You can help me look after my son first."

Su Shixia said: "You have kept that thunder-cleaved wood in the house for more than ten years, and it still receives some blessing and protection. As long as my son stays by your side, he won't be afraid of touching any dirty things, and I can rest assured."

.”

"It's up to you. I'll come over to pick you up after I get out."

After Su Shixia finished speaking, she briefly explained to Xiao Qin Zhan and then turned around and left without giving Ning Runxing a chance to refuse.

Ning Runxing and Xiao Qin Zhan were left standing there, one with his head lowered and the other with his head raised, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and no one spoke for a long time.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ning Runxing, frowning slightly, as if he felt that Ning Runxing was not very reliable.

He ordered Shi Jun who was standing beside him to go and guard Xiao Qin Zhan first, and then strode towards the ruins with Su Shixia.

Qin Yi's identity was displayed there, and he wanted to follow him in. None of the guards dared to say anything, but Su Shixia couldn't help but turn her head and look at him twice.

"Can we talk now? What happened to you before?"

"After Shi Jun sent me the things he got from you last night, I got news that someone saw Taoist priest Na Jia going up the mountain and seemed to be returning to the Taoist temple."

Qin Yi said: "I was afraid that he would escape if I arrived too late, so I immediately took people up the mountain to arrest him, but... he was tricked."

"Calculation?"

Su Shixia raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You mean, he already knew that someone would come up the mountain to catch him, so he set up an ambush in the mountain in advance?"

"Almost."

Qin Yi had obviously been fooled before, and his expression turned ugly when he mentioned what happened before.

"He doesn't have any powerful helpers, nor are there any common traps, but..."

Qin Yi raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows with a headache, took a breath of restraint, lowered his voice and asked: "Have you ever heard of a ghost beating a wall?"

Su Shixia's steps suddenly stopped.

"What's the meaning?"

Because she was a little anxious, her speaking speed increased a lot.

"Did you encounter a ghost hitting the wall in the woods?"

"That should be it."

Qin Yi said coldly: "I came here last night. Because I was not familiar with the surroundings and the light in the woods was dim, it was difficult to move. I don't know what means the demon used, but he disappeared as soon as he entered the forest.

No trace."

"I led the people to search the forest several times but could not find him. I noticed something was wrong, and led the people to come out of the forest, but found that... we had been going back and forth in circles, and we couldn't find him at all.

There’s no way out of the woods.”

"Until...cough!"

Qin Yi turned his head and coughed slightly uncomfortably, "After dawn, some guards tried some local tricks they heard, and then we broke through the ghost wall and got out of the forest."

After all, Su Shixia was the head of Xuanmen in her previous life and had seen a lot of the world. When Qin Yi said "local method", she immediately understood that it was nothing more than "a boy peeing on a boy's blood". In the final analysis, it was using Zhiyang

Break the evil spirit.

But since you can get it out with local methods, then...

"That's right, you have indeed encountered a ghost."

When Su Shixia confirmed Qin Yi's guess, the interest in her eyes became a little more intense.

"It seems that Taoist Jia is quite capable. He can devise poisonous schemes, use poisons, and bewitch people's hearts with his words. And... he seems to know some occult magic."

"Oh, calling him Demon Dao is not wrong."

Su Shixia narrowed her eyes and slowly scanned the ruins.

"It seems that I really need to cheer up and take a closer look at this Taoist temple. Maybe I can find some 'particularly' useful clues."

While she was talking, she stopped in front of a collapsed house, pointed to a small open space in front of her and asked, "Have you found a body here before?"
