Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 48 Dreaming

"You are such an interesting person." Qiaoqiao said.
Lin Yu ignored her.
"How about we talk?"
"You won't lose anything by saying a few words, or what are you afraid of?"
Lin Yu took out his phone and opened WeChat. One of his friends asked him what he was doing recently. He typed a few words in the input box and deleted them.
Qiaoqiao said to herself, "There really is a door at the bottom of the mountain. I didn't lie to you. Ten years ago, blood awakened me, and I woke up from my slumber. Wild and violent energy was raging in the mountains, and a white statue floated up from the muddy water. I was scared. I was afraid of being discovered by it, so I fled deeper, and I saw a door..."
Jiang You watched Jiang Mo approaching, and he said, "The next part is the regular part, which I still like."
"What part?" Tang Butian was a little curious.
"Just chatting," Jiang You turned his head and looked at Tang Butian, "I make a living by talking."
Jiang Mo stopped one meter in front of Jiang You.
Tang Butian saw clearly what he was dragging in his hand - it was a person, a little girl, wearing a tattered blue-gray skirt, with burn marks on her clothes, hair and skin.
She looks about 70% similar to Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Mo grabbed her hair.
She struggled, her blue-gray eyes showing through her messy hair. The silver sword reflected in her eyes, and she recognized the sword. She raised her head and followed the sword god's line of sight upwards. The hand holding the sword was round, and the skin color was a little uneven, as if it had been injured.
Jiang You squatted down, and at the same time Jiang Mo let go of his hand. Her upper body fell to the ground. She struggled to look up again, and she saw Jiang You.
Jiang You asked: "Are you Xiaoman?"
"Yes."
"The mountain spirit of Jiujin Mountain?"
"right."
"It's a lie. Luckily I met Qiaoqiao outside, otherwise I would have been fooled by you today."
"Qiaoqiao?"
"Yes, I received her report," Jiang You put out the cigarette on the ground, "You took her essence, disguised yourself as a mountain spirit, deceived Zheng Yuantai's trust, and then murdered him."
"What?" Xiaoman looked a little shocked.
"She testified that you murdered Jung Won-tae."
"She told you how to summon me?"
"She told me your name," Jiang You reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him, "Tell me, what did you do to Zheng Yuantai?"
"It's not me, it's Qiaoqiao..."
"You're lying again." Jiang You let go of her hand, and before she could catch her breath, he pulled her hair hard and slammed her face to the ground.
Blue-gray blood flowed from the corners of her eyes and nostrils.
"I like little demons like you the most. Cut them into small pieces, ferment them for a few days, chop them into meat paste, mix them with some ashes from burning demons, stir them evenly, and dry them in the sun for a few days. It will be a very good fertilizer for the flowers."
"I..." Xiaoman spat out a mouthful of blood. Before she could recover, Jiang You grabbed her hair tightly and slammed her hard on the ground several times.
This time, as soon as Jiang You loosened his grip on her hair, she cried out, "It's really Qiaoqiao! I didn't lie, it was her..." She looked at Jiang You, coughing and shouting viciously, "She took over my body, and I am bound here, unable to leave. She took my magic weapon. She lied to you. She used you to kill me. Only when I die can she refine my magic weapon..."
Jiang You put his hand down.
Xiaoman lay on the ground gasping for breath.
After Jiang You stood up, he took two steps to the side and asked, "What about Zheng Yuantai? He disappeared here. Do you want to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
"Are you really a policeman?" Xiaoman asked back.
"Of course," Jiang You rummaged in his bag, found his police ID, waved it at Xiaoman, and then took out the law enforcement recorder. "Don't worry, all the processes will be recorded, and there will definitely be no irregularities such as violent law enforcement."
"you……"
"By the way, I need to record your spiritual power fluctuations first."
Jiang You raised his hand upwards, and Xiaoman was hung up at once. She looked down and saw circles of spider silk that had been wrapped around her wrists and waist at some point.
"This is more convenient. My legs are numb from squatting just now." Jiang You operated the recorder and recorded the fluctuations of spiritual power.
Tang Butian stood aside holding the wooden sword.
Jiang Mo glanced at her.
After recording, Jiang You looked at Xiaoman and said, "You can speak now."
She said, "I can take you to find Zheng Yuantai."
"Do you know where he is?"
"I have a request."
"You want to negotiate with me? We are the people's police and we don't accept bribes."
"Qiaoqiao, I want her."
Jiang You thought about it, "I'm a little confused. She said you took her energy, and you said she took over your body. What's going on?"
"She lied."
"Where's the evidence?" Jiang You pulled the spider silk, and Xiaoman's body shook a few times. She said, "Think about it carefully. If you lie again..."
Xiaoman felt her thigh burning. She lowered her head and saw a small flame flickering on the tattered hem of her skirt.
She shuddered. She turned her head and saw a little red light in Jiang Mo's eyes.
"Do you know what happened ten years ago?"
"Ten years ago, I heard something about a tour group that encountered a mudslide and was wiped out."
"I am the mountain spirit of Jiujin Mountain. I can sense everything that happens on the mountain..."
"Get to the point." Jiang You interrupted her.
Xiaoman felt like the skin on her legs was burned by fire, hot and painful.
"Some suspicious people appeared on the mountain. They were all cultivators. They buried some things in the mountain." She spoke faster. "After they left, I dug it out. It was a statue of a god. They were building a huge magic circle. I felt that this was a huge conspiracy. I had to stop it from happening..."
"So you contacted Zheng Yuantai?"
"Yes."
"Did you know each other ten years ago?"
"I sent a dream to the tourists on Jiujin Mountain, but only one child understood the meaning of the dream. Later , Zheng Yuantai came to the mountain and found me. I showed him the statue, and he told me that it was Jinghu Society."
