As Song Taishan hesitated, Xia Xin tugged at his sleeve and said with a smile, "Captain Song, if the Abbot says he can do it, then he definitely can. Those things are invisible to ordinary people anyway. No matter what, as long as Shi Dahai confesses, the police’s mission would be considered complete, right? As long as Shi Dahai isn’t harmed, everything should be fine, shouldn’t it?"
It did make some sense.
He looked at Jiangli, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Abbot, how confident are you?"
Jiangli: "One hundred percent."
That was surprisingly candid.
Song Taishan thought for a while and conceded that there was indeed no other way.
It was time to temporarily set aside materialism.
Song Taishan said, "Alright, Abbot, please come with me. My office is upstairs."
Jiangli agreed and followed Song Taishan upstairs.
Song Taishan had a private office.
He led Jiangli straight into the office, pushed open the door, and said in a low voice, "Abbot, this is the place, my office. Normally, no one comes here. Whatever you need to do, please hurry."
"Understood, don’t worry, it’ll be quick."
Jiangli patted his chest and stepped forward to an open space.
Xia Xin watched as she magically produced a handful of Copper Coins and tossed them onto the ground.
The Copper Coins, as if they had eyes, quickly spread out across the floor, forming a pattern similar to a Formation talisman.
Xia Xin trembled at the sight of those Copper Coins, thinking that his master’s Copper Coin Sword must have been completely disassembled by their ancestors...
Once the Copper Coin Formation was properly set up, Jiangli took out a Talisman, wrapped it around a piece of spirit money, and tossed it onto the Formation.
The Talisman ignited without fire, emitting billows of white smoke, which carried the Talisman Paper continuously towards the sky.
Song Taishan’s jaw nearly hit the floor...
Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such things truly existed in the world.
Was this really just magic?
Xia Xin was also stunned.
But soon, he noticed something amiss.
He guessed that the ancestors were likely invoking a deity.
Once the Talisman Paper was thrown, whoever was being summoned should have appeared.
But for some reason, he couldn’t see them.
Could it be that his Heavenly Eye had temporarily failed?
It must be said, Xia Xin’s mind was rather sharp.
Indeed, his Heavenly Eye had failed.
Jiangli squatted there, watching the smoke drift towards the sky, and soon, a figure emerged, standing in the center of her Formation.
That person was none other than the Judge Cui, who had previously met Xia Xin once.
Judge Cui, seeing Jiangli, greeted her politely and with elegance, "I have seen the Abbot. What brings the Abbot to seek me out?"
Jiangli motioned him over with a crook of her finger.
Judge Cui paused for a few seconds, not understanding her gesture, but then he realized what Jiangli meant.
He lifted the hem of his robe and squatted down in front of Jiangli.
As soon as he did, Jiangli hooked her arm around his neck and pulled him close to her.
Judge Cui stumbled and nearly fell flat on his backside.
Barely steadying himself, he immediately asked, "Abbot... what does this mean?"
"Nothing much," Jiangli replied with a smile. "I was just thinking it’s been a long time since we last met, right, old Cui—"
Judge Cui felt a chill down his spine at her smile and hurriedly said, "Whatever you need, Abbot, I’ll see it done."
Jiangli, satisfied, said, "That’s more like it." She kept her arm hooked around Judge Cui’s neck and said, "Actually, it’s a small matter. Remember I asked you to take Qiang Hongtao down the other day? It’s only been two days and nights; surely Qiang Hongtao hasn’t been reincarnated yet, right?"
Judge Cui nodded. "That’s correct, reincarnation involves a queue, and we haven’t arranged it so quickly... If the Abbot wishes to expedite the process, I can make arrangements once I return."
