There was nothing to do all night, the wind and waves were calm, not even a mouse appeared, Hu Guiyang was so sleepy that he yawned, the old Taoist Fan Dajian fell asleep on the table after three watches, no matter how he pushed it, he couldn't wake up, if the demon fox really appeared, Hu Guiyang could only scream and make a secret signal.

Lai Wangxi and Yuan Mao did their duty, and kept watch in the opposite room for a night, the fire rope remained lit at any time, and three small piles of dust accumulated on the ground.

Everyone wants to rest for a while, but they have to pass Wang Zhi first.

Wang Zhi was furious, "I have even thought about what I want to say to Your Majesty, and I am ready to praise the four of you, but what is the result?" Where's the demon fox? Let me ask you, where is the demon fox? ”

Lai Wangxi consciously walked to the wall and covered his ears with his hands.

Yuan Mao was Yuan Bin's confidant and entourage, and he thought that he was only entering the palace to help and not be responsible, so he also stood aside and watched coldly, in order to retain some dignity.

Hu Guiyang didn't care at all, Wang Zhi was still angry, so he opened his mouth and yawned.

Only Fan Dajian was ashamed, not because he slept in the middle of the night, but because he felt that as a real person in Lingji Palace, he should be mainly responsible for the failure to catch demons.

"The factory is angry, listen to my explanation." Fan Dajian opened his mouth to persuade.

Wang Zhi scolded unceremoniously, "I told you a long time ago that even the West Factory is gone, where is the 'factory father' still here?" Interpretation...... What do you have to explain? Your Lingji Palace has no reputation with me, if it weren't for the fact that the elixir you offered was still effective, I would have advised Your Majesty to tear down your nest into flat ground and turn it into a horse ring......

Fan Dajian's face turned the color of pig liver, and he didn't dare to refute.

Wang Zhi vented, and finally looked at Hu Guiyang, "Tell me, where is the demon fox?" ”

"In the palace." Hu Guiyang is neither ashamed nor afraid.

Wang Zhi was even more angry, "Didn't you have a big tone yesterday?" I want this for a while, I want that for a while, and Lao Tzu has to personally bring you food. Didn't you promise to catch the demon fox last night? Why didn't you even hold a fart? ”

"That's because you heard it wrong, or maybe you hope so, I said that it was likely to attract a demon fox last night, but I didn't say that I would definitely be caught."

Wang Zhi's face was even more ugly than Fan Dajian, and he jumped up and shouted: "I didn't hold the demon fox, and none of you wanted to get out of the inner school field for half a step!" Wait another night, and if it doesn't work, I'll split all of you! ”

"If you want to take the demon fox, you have to agree to my request."

"Nope." Wang Zhi turned around and left, locked it outside, pulled it twice, and threw down a sentence loudly: "I won't give you food." ”

So the four people who were tired all night didn't even have breakfast, so they could only drink herbal tea overnight.

Yuan Mao snorted, "I'm the steward of Lord Yuan's mansion, see who dares to stop me." "That being said, he didn't dare to really go out.

Lai Wangxi still covered his ears and didn't squeak.

Fan Dajian sighed, "Blame me, blame me, I was so sleepy last night, I fell asleep for a while, I will never be tonight, I want to cheer up, I will definitely take down the demon fox." ”

Hu Guiyang yawned again, "The demon fox didn't come last night, and it won't come tonight." ”

Yuan Mao stepped forward and whispered, "Are you sure?" ”

"Nope." Hu Guiyang sat on the chair, as if he wanted to take a nap.

Yuan Mao followed, a little anxious, "Hu Guiyang, you want to be joking, don't take us with you." ”

"It was Wang Zhi who called you in, not me."

"You, you...... No, I'm going to talk to Wang Zhi later......" Yuan Mao looked at Hu Guiyang a few times, "You're not this kind of person, no matter how bold and thick-skinned you are, you won't make fun of the demon fox, you have a way, but you haven't used it yet, right?" ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "There is a way, but it is not with me, it is in the hands of others, I can only wait for you to voluntarily hand it over." ”

"We?" Yuan Mao smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "You think too highly of me, if there was a way to clear up the wrongs of my family, I would have done it a long time ago, and would I wait until now?" ”

"I believe in your loyalty to Lord Yuan, but you have your own hardships and can't go all out."

Yuan Mao's face changed slightly, "Hu Guiyang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "Which faction did you join in the Five Elements Sect?" ”

Yuan Mao's face changed again, "What does this have to do with capturing the demon fox?" ”

"It has a lot to do with it, Tan Zhe of the Houtu Sect claimed that the demon fox must have infiltrated the palace, but he refused to give the reason, I believe that the 'method' to capture the demon fox is likely to be in it."

Yuan Mao shook his head, "I believe Tan Zhe, if he knows the specific whereabouts of the demon fox, he will definitely say it." ”

"'Only because I am in this mountain', hehe, wait, I'll ask Wang Zhi later."

Yuan Mao snorted, also found a place to sit down, and deliberately turned his back to Hu Guiyang.

Fan Dajian felt that he had an obligation to make a round, and said with a smile: "What is the Five Elements Sect and the Houtu Sect, when I hear it, it is an evil sect and an outsider that the ignorant people believe, which is like the second Xu Zhenjun of our Lingji Palace, that is the true immortal, the name left in the history books, and the emperor canonized." Later, Wang Changgong came, and I told him that I would invite some more people from Lingji Palace to set up a demon eradication array......"

Hu Guiyang asked: "Last time, you sent more than 20 Taoist priests to death, how many do you plan to send this time?" ”

Fan Dajian's old face turned red, "That's not my idea...... Since it is a ritual, there must be a little sacrifice, and the more you give, the stronger the mana......"

"According to you, if a mortal wants to become an immortal, he has to kill countless people?"

"No, no, it's not that simple, that ...... Another day, you go to Lingji Palace, and I will give you an in-depth explanation. ”

Hu Guiyang smiled but did not speak.

There was a sound of unlocking outside, and Pan Dajian, who had just said that he wanted to talk to the factory company, immediately stepped aside and stood with Lai Wangxi, but he didn't cover his ears with his hands.

Wang Zhi walked into the room, looking less angry, glanced at the scattered four people, and said to Lai Wangxi: "What are you doing?" Is it cold in the house? ”

Lai Wangxi smiled and nodded, but he didn't hear it at all.

Wang Zhi made a move, and Lai Wangxi lowered his arms, "The little one has seen the governor." ”

Wang Zhi came to Hu Guiyang and stared at him with a serious face for a while, "What else do you want?" ”

"The demon fox refuses to enter, so I have to take the initiative, so I need your truth?"

"What truth? I've told you everything I can tell you. ”

"I want things that can't be told to me, such as you said that people die in the palace every year, but since the appearance of the demon fox, there must have been someone's death that was different."

"Death is death, what's the difference?"

"I'm waiting for you to tell me."

Wang Zhi ordered without looking back: "You three, cover your ears." ”

Lai Wangxi immediately did so, Fan Dajian hesitated for a moment, raised his arms, shook them slightly, stretched out his palms from his wide sleeves, and covered his ears seriously, as if this was an extremely serious ritual.

Yuan Mao hesitated for a longer time, wanting to cover his ears and feel that it would damage the face of the Yuan family, but he couldn't afford to offend Wang Zhi if he didn't cover his ears, so he simply got up and muttered, "I'll go out and have a look......"

Wang Zhi didn't care about the three of them, and after Yuan Mao went out, he said, "You have long wanted to ask about this matter, and you deliberately waited until today, right?" ”

"What do you think I am?" Hu Guiyang asked in surprise.

"Don't think I don't understand, you're ...... What is the plan, if you ask about this matter at the beginning, I will immediately kick you out of the palace, but after waiting for a day, I will follow you deeper and deeper, what do you ask, I have to say something. ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "Okay, even if it's my plan, is it easy to use?" ”

Wang Zhi laughed twice and sat down on a chair opposite, "You want to know who died unusually?" Well, let me tell you, don't regret it after listening. ”

"I have nothing to regret."

Wang Zhi waved his hand to the two people on the wall, signaling that they didn't need to cover their ears, "You guys also go out for a walk, the scenery of the inner school field is good." ”

The two of them should say in unison, and go out obediently, especially Fan Dajian, who does not put on a real shelf at all.

There were only two people left in the room, and Wang Zhi said: "There is indeed a strange death, but it may not be related to the demon fox." ”

"Hmm."

"The current prince's biological mother, Concubine Ji, was also sent to the palace from Broken Teng Gorge, have you heard of it?"

Hu Guiyang nodded, "There are indeed rumors among the people, but Concubine Ji was born the year before last, and the demon fox only appeared for the first time in July last year." ”

"I'm not talking about Concubine Ji, it's another palace maid who hanged herself in November last year, leaving a suicide note, saying that she was going to be martyred for Concubine Ji, but she never served Concubine Ji at all, it's really inexplicable."

"The hanged palace maid is also from Broken Teng Gorge?"

"No, she has nothing to do with Broken Tengxia."

"Last November, before or after Li Zilong was arrested?"

"Three or four days ago, she was a palace maid, no one took her words seriously, the body was moved out of the palace and buried hastily, it was impossible to really let her give Concubine Ji a funeral."

"In that case, why is it now said that her death is unusual?"

Wang Zhi promised to tell the truth, but he was still a little hesitant at this time, and only after a while did he say: "After that, Concubine Ji's ghost began to appear in the palace. ”

Hu Guiyang let out a long sigh, understanding why Wang Zhi didn't tell the truth before, this kind of thing is a secret of the palace, and it should not be leaked, as insiders, he and Hu Guiyang are in a disadvantageous situation, once the news leaks in the future, the first person to be suspected is the two of them.

"What more do you want to know?" Wang Zhi asked coldly.

"Have the Revenants reappeared recently?" Hu Guiyang doesn't think about the future, he just wants to catch demons now.

"It appeared once five days ago, and you suspect it's a demon fox? It's impossible, the demon fox is a male demon, and the revenant is a female ghost, and the female ghost has very little guts, so she runs away when she is scared. ”

"Where are you going?"

"You're a ...... Hey, all of a sudden, it's gone. ”

"Is there anyone else who died strangely?"

"This time it's really gone, since July last year, seventeen people have died in the palace, either sick or old and weak, the death of the palace maid is unusual, one is because of suicide, and the other is because of scribbling."

Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "You just said that female ghosts will run away as soon as they are scared?" ”

"Yes."

"How do you scare female ghosts?"

Wang Zhi was puzzled, "Like the people, please monks and old people do things." ”

"Which monk? Which Taoist priest? ”

"There is no monk invited in the palace, he is a Taoist priest, surnamed Li, and they all call him Li Xianchang, have you heard of it?"

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "Bring him to see me." ”

"Hey, do you think I'm walking sideways in the palace? Li Xianchang is now a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, I have to kowtow to him when I see him, how can I bring him to see you? ”

"Then take me to him."

"You think he's a demon fox? It is absolutely impossible, Li Xianchang used to be a small official in Beijing, a halfway scholar, with an innocent family background and a clear background. ”

"I have to do something to make the demon fox nervous and force him to come and kill me, so let's start with this Li Immortal Chief."
