During the Yánhe era of the Great Tang, Qin Xiaobai, known as the greatest painter in the world, was entrusted by the Princess to reside at Chengfo Temple in Chang'an to paint the 'Demon Subduing Transformation' and pray for the Empress's blessings in the afterlife. Qin Xiaobai's painting was on the verge of 'dotting the eyes', but dotting the eyes meant the demon king would break free from the wall.

He stated that this would cause the demon king to kill people, but Xielv Lang Sun Wang believed Qin Xiaobai was talking nonsense. He looked down on Qin Xiaobai's arrogant demeanor, thinking he was just a painter of murals who thought too highly of himself. Qin Xiaobai was very angry and said, "If the demon king breaks free, he will kill me first.

" At night, Sun Wang snuck into the courtyard, wanting to see the painting first, but unexpectedly he was murdered and his liver was dug out. Lu Lingfeng rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the news the next day. Sun Wang's death was gruesome; his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrifying before he died. The coroner found lip rouge on Sun Wang's body, so his body had a fragrance.

As for what kind of fragrance, the coroner did not know. With the help of Pei Xijun, Lu Lingfeng learned that it was black ointment. Lu Lingfeng's subordinate found a witness, and Lu Lingfeng asked Pei Xijun for help, hoping she could quickly draw a portrait based on the witness's description. Lu Lingfeng went to investigate Sun Wang's whereabouts before his death. Lu Lingfeng learned from the owner of Xiaoyun Building about the time Sun Wang spent there.

Sun Wang used to be a veterinarian, but his musical talent was unparalleled. It was because he was promoted by the Princess that he achieved his current status. Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but marvel that he was an extraordinary person. The place Sun Wang frequented the most was the home of Anxi army general Ma Xiong. Madam Ma was very beautiful. She was not yet aware that something had happened to Sun Wang.

Lu Lingfeng did not inform her of the details, only stating that this visit was a routine check. Ma Xiong had achieved illustrious military feats and had even presented blood-sweating horses to Emperor Zhongzong, who returned one and allowed them to keep horses at home. Therefore, Ma Xiong's home had many horses, which was why Sun Wang had visited Ma Mansion many times to treat the horses.

Lu Lingfeng wanted to ride a blood-sweating horse, but unexpectedly the horse was very wild, and he ultimately failed to tame it and fell off. Through talking with Madam Ma, he learned that Ma Xiong used Mo Blades in battle. This matched the wounds on Sun Wang's body. Lu Lingfeng revealed that Sun Wang was dead, and Madam Ma immediately fainted from shock.

Lu Lingfeng escorted her to the bedroom and took the opportunity to arrange for his subordinate to check Madam Ma's dressing table, but no black ointment was found. Pei Xijun painted based on the old man's description; the painting was very strange. She felt it strongly resembled the portraits by Qin Xiaobai, but Lu Lingfeng thought Pei Xijun was too obsessed with Qin Xiaobai's work recently, which was why she felt this way.

Moreover, he believed that the old man did not see the murder scene because he had seen the mural at Chengfo Temple and was deliberately saying that. But the old man stated that Chengfo Temple had recently added a rule that people were not allowed in if they did not pay enough incense money. Although he knew someone was painting the mural, he had never actually seen it.

Pei Xijun took Lu Lingfeng to Chengfo Temple to see Qin Xiaobai complete the dotting of the eyes. Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaobai still did not dot the eyes and flew into a rage, driving away everyone who had come to watch. Because his junior apprentice urged him, he even beat the junior apprentice once, then left in anger. Lu Lingfeng followed him the entire way and told him the news of Sun Wang's tragic death. Qin Xiaobai was also very shocked.

When he saw the portrait Lu Lingfeng took out, he was even more surprised. He greatly admired the painter and wanted to take the painter as his apprentice. Lu Lingfeng only thought he was crazy and turned to leave. During the investigation, Lu Lingfeng clashed head-on with the killer, but unexpectedly he and Guo Zhuang were no match for the opponent, and both were severely injured. Su Wuming served as the Chengcai of Ganling, living a comfortable life.

After he and Ying Tao returned from fishing, they saw Bai Sheren. Bai Sheren had come this time on the Crown Prince's order and brought an imperial decree from the Emperor, asking Su Wuming to go to the capital to investigate a case. Su Wuming originally wanted to politely decline, but upon hearing that Lu Lingfeng was missing, he became very worried.

Furthermore, he did not dare to disobey the imperial decree and could only hurry back to Chang'an with Bai Sheren. Upon returning to Chang'an, Su Wuming would once again be drawn into the struggle between the Eastern Palace and the Princess. As expected, the Crown Prince personally came to pick him up and gave him the position of Sima of Yongzhou, which was also the Emperor's intention. But the Princess also summoned Su Wuming.

She knew that Lu Lingfeng was her child and ordered Su Wuming to definitely bring her son back safe and sound, and immediately appointed him Shaoqing of Dali Temple. She knew Su Wuming's character and stated that this was not an irregular appointment; he would see the appointment order the next day, and he would get everything he deserved. Su Wuming immediately rushed to the autopsy room and examined the bodies of all the victims; their death conditions were the same.
