Chapter 56 Zhou Haochen: After all, I took it all on my own
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Zhou Haochen had just returned to the palace when Helian Hai started talking with a smile.
"What's there to congratulate about?"
"Your Majesty is interested in cultivating Your Highness!"
"The White Lotus Sect is such a difficult case, I would rather not have this training!" Zhou Haochen sighed helplessly.
Among the four hexagrams, three are ominous, which shows how difficult this matter is.
If he had a choice, he would rather lie down in the Ministry of Industry.
Hearing Zhou Haochen's complaint, Helian Hai just shook his head slightly and did not comment.
"Your Highness, this is the top visualization method of my Five Thunder Sect, the Thunder Ancestor Visualization Method."
“After being promoted to the Controlling Objects Realm, one needs to practice the method of visualization to strengthen the divine consciousness until it overflows and merges with the magic power in the sea of qi to condense the jade liquid. This is the third realm of Taoist cultivation, the Jade Liquid Realm.”
Zhou Haochen took the Lei Zu visualization method handed over by Helian Hai.
Braille again.
Moreover, it feels very new to the touch, and there are some edges and corners that have not been completely polished. I guess Helian Hai rushed to finish it.
Mr. He, you are so thoughtful!
They refused to give me the normal visualization diagram and insisted on giving me the Braille version.
Zhou Haochen accepted the Thunder Ancestor Visualization Diagram and asked softly, "Old He, have you heard of the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method?"
The moment he heard the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method, Helian Hai raised his eyebrows and showed surprise.
"Your Highness, have you also heard of this method of visualization?"
"From what Elder He said, this method of visualization is very famous?"
"Among ordinary practitioners, he is almost unknown." Helian Hai paused and continued, "But among the powerful, he is well-known."
"It is said that this method of visualization was created by a Buddha who was in charge of the underworld. After that, it was passed on by many top masters and integrated with the mysteries of Taoism and Confucianism. It is extremely powerful and unpredictable."
"Compared with the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method and the Thunder Ancestor Visualization Method, which one is stronger?"
Hearing this question, Helian Hai's expression became a little unnatural.
"Cough cough!"
"The Thunder Ancestor Visualization Method was obtained by our sect's second-generation ancestor through his meditation in the Thunder God Seal. It is the most advanced visualization method in the world."
"As for the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method, I have never seen it before, so it is not appropriate for me to make a judgment on my own."
"However, thirty thousand years ago, when the founder was still young, a fragment of the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method was published. The founder was not strong enough to get a glimpse of its contents, which he regretted for the rest of his life."
"Until the time of his death, this was one of the three greatest regrets in the life of the founder."
Helian Hai did not give a direct answer, but told some legends about the founder of Wu Lei Sect, and then changed the subject and asked.
"Your Highness is well-informed. He has even heard of the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method, which has been lost for tens of thousands of years."
"I haven't heard of it before, but I just happened to have a fragment in my hand, and I wanted to hear your opinion, Mr. He."
As soon as he finished speaking, Helian Hai's hand shook, and the bamboo leaf green spirit in the wine gourd almost spilled all over the floor.
"Your Highness...you have...Jiuyou..."
"Exactly!"
"Mr. He, could you please help me take a look at this fragment and see if there is anything wrong with it?"
Zhou Haochen nodded. It was just a fragment of the visualization method, and he had no intention of hiding it from Helian Hai.
With a wave of his right hand, a visualization picture floated towards Helian Hai.
Helian Hai took the visualization diagram, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he fell silent in an instant.
The visualization method that the founder of the sect had long dreamed of and regretted was taken away from Zhou Haochen's hands so easily?
The founder's lifelong wish was fulfilled by himself just like that?
Helian Hai always felt it was too magical.
His divine sense swept through the fragments of the visualization method, and in the visualization picture, he felt a sense of deathly silence and deep gloom. The rough perception made people think of the legendary Nine Netherworld.
"It is worthy of being the legendary visualization method. This Nine Netherworld state of mind alone is profound and unfathomable."
"Ahem - Your Highness, would you like me to help you change it into Braille..."
"no need!"
"Let Auntie Lan read it to me, so I won't bother you, Old He."
Zhou Haochen hurriedly tried to stop him, fearing that Helian Hai would really translate it into Braille, which would be a disaster.
After taking back the visualization map, Zhou Haochen prepared to take time out in the coming days to comprehend the Nine Nether Prison Visualization Method.
"Today, His Majesty handed the White Lotus case to Your Highness. I'm afraid he wanted to test you. What do you plan to do?" Helian Hai changed the subject and mentioned the White Lotus case.
Ideas come naturally!
Xia Yuzhi is the entry point.
After Zhou Haochen pondered for a while, he asked, "Mr. He, have you ever heard that the demons of the White Lotus Sect have secret codes for communicating with each other?"
Helian Hai raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Your Highness, you are referring to the White Lotus Divine Text of the White Lotus Sect. There are many rumors about this among the people, but no one knows whether they are true or false." White Lotus Divine Text!
This is probably what the natives of Dayu call Morse code!
Zhou Haochen then asked: "Mr. He, how much do you know about the White Lotus Divine Text?"
"The White Lotus Divine Text is the secret of the White Lotus Sect. The outside world knows very little about it. How much can an old man like me know?" Helian Hai said, shaking his head.
"It is said that the White Lotus Divine Text was passed down by the Mother of No Birth, but... I think it is most likely the White Lotus Sect's members who are trying to flatter themselves."
"The Mother of No Birth worshipped by the White Lotus Sect has never sent down any miracles or imperial edicts... Even the existence of the Mother of No Birth is doubted."
"In the world of immortal cultivation, many people believe that the Mother of No Birth was fabricated by the White Lotus Sect. In ancient times, there was no such deity as the Mother of No Birth."
"Otherwise, why is it that only the White Lotus Sect's scriptures record the Mother of No Birth, while the four words Mother of No Birth have never been seen in other unearthed ancient scriptures?"
Zhou Haochen pondered over Helian Hai's words.
The White Lotus Sect did a great job of keeping secrets; after being passed down for tens of thousands of years, the White Lotus Divine Text has not yet been deciphered.
I guess the people of the White Lotus Sect would never think of this.
Their White Lotus Divine Text had been cracked by himself.
The next day.
Helpers from the Evil Suppression Division and the Ministry of Justice came to Prince Wu's mansion.
"Yue Chongshan, the purple-robed demon-slayer from the Evil Suppression Division, pays respect to Your Highness."
"Lu Limin, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice, greets His Highness."
The administrative structure of the Evil Suppression Bureau has four commanders under the chief, and each commander is in charge of four or five purple-robed demon-slayers.
According to the color of their clothes, the demon slayers can be divided into purple-robed demon slayers, red-robed demon slayers, green-robed demon slayers, black-robed demon slayers and white-robed demon slayers.
The Purple-robed Demon Slayer is already considered a quasi-senior level official in the Evil Suppression Bureau.
As for the Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Justice, he is of the fifth rank and is the deputy of the Qinglisi. He can be regarded as a middle-level figure and backbone of the Ministry of Justice.
Compared to the Evil Suppression Bureau, the Ministry of Justice is somewhat insincere.
But thinking of the chaotic situation in the Ministry of Justice, Zhou Haochen was too lazy to care.
"Master Yue, Master Lu, please give me your guidance."
"I am not familiar with criminal cases. I will have to rely on you two adults to handle the White Lotus case."
"Your Highness is too polite. I am overwhelmed."
Yue Chongshan and Lu Liming said in unison.
After some pleasantries, Zhou Haochen got down to business.
"What do you two adults think about the White Lotus case? How should we investigate it?" Zhou Haochen asked.
Although he already had a clue in mind, to be on the safe side, Zhou Haochen still wanted to hear how the old hands who were well versed in criminal law analyzed the case.
Yue Chongshan touched the back of his head, frowning, looking distressed and confused.
After a moment's silence, a buzzing sound came from his mouth.
"I have no idea. It is entirely up to you, Your Highness, to decide."
Hearing Yue Chongshan's silly words, Zhou Haochen's mouth twitched slightly, thinking in his heart.
Could it be that Yue Chongshan is... a fool?
"Master Yue, how do you usually investigate cases in the Evil Suppression Bureau?" Zhou Haochen asked curiously.
"How else can I check?"
"Whoever the chief says to arrest, we will arrest."
"Things like using your brain are not my cup of tea!"
The corner of Zhou Haochen's mouth twitched.
Ok!
Feelings are a thug!
After hearing what Yue Chongshan said, Zhou Haochen knew that he could not rely on this big fool Yue Chongshan to investigate the case.
"Lord Lu, what do you think?" Zhou Haochen asked.
Lu Liming was not like Yue Chongshan, who was unable to utter a word for a long time.
As soon as Zhou Haochen finished speaking, Lu Liming began to answer.
"Your Highness, according to the criminal justice department's case handling procedures, we must first inspect the scene. If the crime scene is well preserved, according to Article 13 of the case handling procedures, we should..."
Lu Liming spoke eloquently for half an hour, reciting the so-called criminal department's case handling procedures and guidelines throughout the speech. As for the actual situation, he did not mention a single word.
Zhou Haochen felt a little drowsy after listening to it.
A big fool!
A bookworm!
Ugh--
In the end, I was the only one who had to shoulder it all.
