During the Yanhe period of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Xiaobai, a world-renowned painter, accepted the princess's entrustment and painted murals of Conquering Demons and Transformations in the Chengfo Temple in Chang'an to pray for the Queen of Heaven.However, when the painting was about to be completed, Qin Xiaobai faced a difficult decision - whether to add eyeballs.According to him, after dotting the eyes, the devil in the painting will break free from the wall, causing unpredictable disasters.Xielu Lang Sun Wang didn't care about this, and even laughed at Qin Xiaobai's worries.
However, one night, Sun Wang secretly sneaked into Chengfo Temple and wanted to see the masterpiece that was about to be completed.Unexpectedly, he suffered a tragic fate. He was brutally killed and his liver was taken away.After Lu Lingfeng heard about this, he quickly rushed to the scene.Sun Wang's death was extremely terrifying, his eyes widened as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
After careful inspection by Wu Zuo, it was discovered that a strange aroma remained on Sun Wang's body, which came from a cosmetic called black paste.With the help of Pei Xijun, Lu Lingfeng found the witness and drew a portrait of the murderer based on the witness's description.
Lu Lingfeng began to investigate Sun Wang's whereabouts during his lifetime and found that he had close ties with Ma Xiong, the general of the Anxi Army.Through Ma Xiong's wife, Lu Lingfeng learned that Ma Xiong had a precious sweaty horse hidden in his home, and tried to tame it.However, this BMW was extremely ferocious, leaving Lu Lingfeng helpless.Mrs. Ma also revealed that the weapon Ma Xiong used was Mo Dao, and this weapon matched the wounds on Sun Wang's body.
When Lu Lingfeng came to Chengfo Temple again, he found that Qin Xiaobai still had not completed the finishing touch.After seeing the portrait painted by Pei Xijun, Qin Xiaobai greatly appreciated the painter's skills and expressed his willingness to accept him as his apprentice.However, Lu Lingfeng was confused and angry about Qin Xiaobai's behavior and decided to leave.
During the investigation, Lu Lingfeng fought fiercely with the murderer.However, due to the strong strength of the murderer, both Lu Lingfeng and Guo Zhuang failed to subdue him, and instead were seriously injured.
