Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 2

Su Wuming carefully read the case of Judge Dee and felt deeply that Lu Lingfeng had grown into an outstanding detective. Suddenly I felt something strange on my side. I looked back and saw a cherry standing next to me, with a face full of curiosity and dissatisfaction. Cherry asked Su Wuming why he broke his vow to become a hermit and took up the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple instead. Su Wuming smiled bitterly and said that he couldn't help himself, so he asked Yingtao to help him use charlatanism to summon the three of them. On the other side, Lao Jia and others wanted to catch the person pretending to be Su Wuming, but they were surprised to find that the person who came was actually Su Wuming himself, and a misunderstanding was resolved. The world is changing, and Su Wuming and Cherry join hands again to embark on a new journey.

Su Wuming met three brothers who claimed to be "followers of the detective" in the market. They enthusiastically praised Su Wuming as a real detective, which surprised Su Wuming himself. The three brothers are full of expectations, hoping to fight side by side with Su Wuming again and jointly uncover the mystery of the case.

In order to fulfill their wishes, Su Wuming decided to lead this group of like-minded brothers to the legendary ghost market, where countless secrets and clues were hidden. After some searching, they located an old man who was acting suspiciously, and through inquiries, they learned clues about the dead man on the ground. Su Wuming quickly took out Lu Lingfeng's portrait for comparison. After confirming that the deceased was not Lu Lingfeng, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they suddenly heard Pei Xijun's cry for help.

Su Wuming immediately led everyone to rescue and successfully rescued Pei Xijun. Later, he returned to the old man's home with the portrait. After some clever guidance, the old man doubted the authenticity of the portrait. Su Wuming took this opportunity to reveal that Pei Xijun might have created a portrait based on the image in the Jingjiang temple mural, which led to a misunderstanding and indirectly affected Lu Lingfeng's situation.

After carefully looking at the four mythical beasts on the temple murals, Su Wuming was deeply moved. He believed that these mythical beasts were more suitable to exist in legends. At the same time, he also greatly appreciated Qin Xiaobai's painting skills, especially the creativity and skill of integrating Chinese earth elements into Shimen murals, which is truly breathtaking.

Before he finished speaking, Qin Xiaobai walked into the scene. He noticed something strange but pretended to be calm, continued painting, and deliberately beat the junior brother next to him, causing chaos. Sun Wang's father mistakenly believed that Qin Xiaobai was the murderer of his son, and he was excited and wanted to commit violence. At the critical moment, Su Wuming stepped forward to quell the dispute, firmly believing that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and vowing to find out the real culprit. Qin Xiaobai was not grateful for Su Wuming's help. Instead, he was attracted by Pei Xijun's painting talent and wanted to accept him as his disciple. After being rejected, he was unhappy and believed that art should not be fettered by emotion. Pei Xijun left the scene under Cherry's persuasion. Seeing Qin Xiaobai's cold attitude, Su Wuming secretly planned to win over this talented painter. Qin Xiaobai was also not a thing in the pool. He understood Su Wuming's intention, politely thanked him and left decisively, leaving Su Wuming alone to think deeply.

In order to ensure Qin Xiaobai's safety and the smooth progress of the investigation, Su Wuming secretly deployed manpower to monitor his whereabouts, and specifically told his followers to be cautious, because Qin Xiaobai has an aloof character and may have an extreme reaction if he is found to be under surveillance. This incident also angered the princess. She was deeply angry at those who hindered the artist's creation and ignored Su Wuming's authority. At the same time, she was even more worried about Lu Lingfeng's safety.

On the other side, Lu Lingfeng survived with the help of Lao Fei, but after learning the news of Guo Zhuang's "resurrection", he felt complicated. Su Wuming discovered through investigation that Sun Wang's death was related to Madam Ma, so he approached Madam Ma under the guise of Lu Lingfeng in an attempt to get clues. Madam Ma saw through his intention, but cleverly led Su Wuming to the BMW in order to change the topic.

At the same time, Chang Fang, Chen Shi, and Zhang Qian became increasingly wary of Su Wuming and tried to avoid him. Su Wuming went to the ghost market alone to find Lu Lingfeng's whereabouts. After some hard work, he finally learned the news about Lao Fei from the little beggar and forced him to lead the way.

Facing Guo Zhuang's "corpse", Lu Lingfeng felt filled with self-blame and regret. He hated his own incompetence and decided to take Guo Zhuang away alone. After Lao Fei discovered that Lu Lingfeng was missing, he immediately reported it. Finally, the general found the unconscious Lu Lingfeng. Before he lost consciousness, he blamed himself and expressed his guilt for the Jinwuwei brothers.
