Chapter 001: Listening to the Celestial Observatory.
He feels that his colleague seems a bit unintelligent, or to use a phrase he heard in a dream, "big chest, no brain".
This made him mature and unsociable from an early age, and he is not well-liked by others.
However, he cannot control the person's body or influence their thoughts. He only shares their vision and hearing.
Sitting in the Tianjian Post of Fulong Township, Jixiang County, Wang Qilin looked at the old almanac in front of him and pondered for a moment. Then he picked up a brush and added two characters after "解除".
Wang Qilin saw that he was unhappy because he couldn't show off, so he cooperatively said, "Please say it again. I don't remember the details clearly from the case file, and I'm quite confused."
As soon as he spoke, Xu Da immediately interrupted him, saying, "I am familiar with this case. If you want to know, I can tell you. But before I do, I have to ask you, do you know Qingshan County?"
Xu suddenly became happy again. Sometimes, a man's happiness can be so simple.
Shaking his head to shake off strange memories, Wang Qilin looked around.
From childhood to adulthood, he has always been deeply anxious about this.
Xu Da hugged his arms and said, "Why didn't I close the door? It's because you didn't close the window!"
At this moment, a calico cat passed by the desk. Its dim yellow eyes glanced at him, as if seeing through his thoughts.
Xu suddenly grinned and said, "Wang, you seem a bit weak."
As soon as his words fell, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Wang Qilin shivered again.
From the beginning of his memory, he would often see a black alchemical furnace after waking up from sleep.
This man has a rough voice and a rough appearance. He has a big face, big eyes, a big mouth, a big chest, big hands, and big feet. From top to bottom, it seems that everything is two sizes larger than an ordinary person.
Later, he learned about the existence of the "Ting Tian Jian" as a lifeline.
Wang Qilin simply said, "I have learned a little from a gentleman in private."
Year of the Horse, 12th day of the 3rd lunar month.
Beneath Xiaoyin, there are two helpers respectively called Youxing and Lishi. Youxing is in charge of literature, while Lishi is in charge of martial arts. Wang Qilin is enlisted as Youxing, and this Han man is called Xu Da, who is his Lishi colleague.
Wang Qilin said, "Qingshan County... ..."
As soon as the bag is opened, guess what happens?
The sky is bright, but the room is dark and gloomy.
It is appropriate to offer sacrifices, capture, release, and refrain from other matters. Avoid getting married and burying the dead.
The impoverished household thought that this house had been vacant for many years and that beggars had come to occupy it. He wanted to catch the old beggar and drive him away. Can you guess what he saw after he lifted the bed?
It is chilly in spring.
Wang Qilin looked fiercely at the window facing due south.
Upon seeing this, he first closed the window, then took out the "Case Files of the Heavenly Supervision" given to him by his immediate superior, Du Cao, after joining the company in the morning, to review the case.
He has put in effort to enter the Ting Tian Jian. He knows everyone in Jixiang County Ting Tian Jian. After clearly seeing the appearance of the visitor, he stands up and respectfully says, "I am Yu Xing Wang Qi Lin, I have seen Xu Lishi."
In order to avoid being considered as evil and dirty and being eliminated, he never dared to tell anyone about his experiences, and had to bear all the pressure alone.
Xu Dakou frowned and said discontentedly, "You said you didn't know Qingshan County, then how do you know about this case?"
He was recalling, when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew in.
He heard that children's souls are unstable and easily taken away by ghosts, so when he was a child, he guessed that the strange and mysterious Earth was the underworld.
Obsessed with studying, time flies.
Because the soul often travels to Earth, he occasionally sees some embarrassing scenes through the possession of a young man, so his body feels a bit weak, and the gust of wind makes him shiver uncontrollably.
He continued, "The destitute man didn't find anyone, only a piece of broken silver, and he was afraid. He fled the house and wanted to go home. When he passed by the vegetable market, he used the broken silver to buy some lamb and a sheep's head. Little did he know that the sheep's blood had soaked through the bag of meat, which happened to be seen by the patrolling officer. The officer asked him to open the bag."
Wang Qilin did indeed enter the Tianjian Observatory with ulterior motives.
Today is his first day at work in Ting Tian Jian. This employment is related to his life, so there is no room for error.
At some point, someone walked to the door. With a creak, the person pushed open the wooden door and shouted in a rough voice, "Did the boss say there's a new guy at the inn? Hey, is it you, kid?"
The window is open again!
Therefore, he has always wanted to join them. After working hard for several years, he finally achieved his wish.
Furthermore, every time he thinks of those scenes, he actually wants to rebuke them as "vulgar and indecent", but his conscience does not allow it, because his sisters' chests are too big.
Wang Qilin asked unhappily, "Why didn't you close the door?"
Wang Qilin pointed at the case file in astonishment and said, "It's written on here."
Tomb-Sweeping Festival.
Wang Qilin looked puzzled. Xu Dadao said, "This is a case that remains unsolved. Who killed this person and what hidden secrets are involved? The local authorities are incompetent and haven't found anything."
Wang Qilin is really in a dilemma: "You talk, I won't say anything."
The situation is like this, that year a bankrupt entered a deserted house in Qingshan County to avoid creditors, but unexpectedly encountered a ragged old man inside. Upon seeing him, the old man immediately crawled under an old and worn-out bed.
The cold wind blowing in feels like a gloomy wind.
My fate is determined by me, not by the almanac!
Wang Qilin looked up and saw a burly man walking in with great swagger.
He deliberately glanced at it when he thought of this.
The characters on Earth are similar to the official documents of the Xin Han Dynasty, only simpler.
Xu Daye arched his hand and laughed heartily, saying, "What have I not seen or heard before? Your words lack elegance. Have you studied in an official school?"
Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "I come from a poor family and have never received an education."
There is no sheep's head inside, but a human head! Wang Qilin consciously played the straight man.
The Ting Tian Jian is an official institution established by the imperial court to ward off evil spirits, exorcise ghosts, and protect the people. Its influence spreads across the land of the Nine Provinces, specializing in resolving mysterious incidents. And isn't his encounter just a mysterious incident?
Speaking of this, he stopped talking. Wang Qilin urged, "Continue."
The stove is called the Creation Stove, which can suck away his soul and send it to a strange place called Earth.
Great job, you've practiced well!
Enter officialdom.
Xu Dadao: "It's gone, there's no continuation."
He knew that he had finished reading the case file. Xu Da casually responded, "There's nothing to say. The pauper was so scared that he wet his pants and told the constable about the previous encounter. The constable went to dig under the old bed in the house and found a ragged dead body buried underneath, but the dead body was headless!"
But Xu Da did not appreciate it, instead he felt depressed: "You motherf***er! I won't say it anymore, you little brat, you know everything!"
Xu Da gave him a funny look and said, "Why are you pretending to be a scholar with your flowery language? I am the real scholar - no, wait, even a wandering scholar like me can recognize proper grammar and punctuation. How can you be a wandering scholar if you've never attended a private school?"
From top to bottom, the Tianjian system is divided into nine levels. The lowest level of official position is called Xiaoyin, and his immediate superior, Du Cao, is also a Xiaoyin.
Xu Da didn't notice the strange look in his eyes. He said sullenly, "So you've already finished reading this case? I thought you had just started, and I was going to tell you about it."
Wang Qilin shook his head. Xu Dadao said, "It's better if you don't know. If you knew, what would be the point of me saying anything?"
Wang Qilin said: "There is no one under the bed, only a wooden box, and inside the box is a piece of broken silver."
His soul attached to the body of an earthling, able to see everything that this person sees and hear everything that this person hears.
Xu Da didn't dwell on this topic. He leaned over to take a look at the open case file and smirked, "So you're looking at case files? Which case are you currently working on?"
The house of the Tianjian post station is built with adobe walls, with several windows covered with paper. Among them, the window facing south is open, and the cold wind, mixed with raindrops, is blowing in, making him shiver.
He did indeed have dealings with an old scholar, but his ability to recognize characters was learned intermittently in his dreams on Earth.
