Seeing the old housekeeper send Xian Yuyan and Guo Yu out, Xue Yiliu also regretted a little, he really shouldn't have attacked the old housekeeper on the spot. So she pulled the corner of Duguhuan's clothes, and the two followed closely out of Xu's mansion. Outside the gate of Xu's Mansion, Xue Yiliu saw the whereabouts of Guo Hua, Xian Yuyan and the entourage, and pulled Dugu Huan in reverse.

"It's too simple, isn't it!hehe!" Xian Yuyan stroked her belly and patted it.

"Have you found the answer?" Guo asked quippedly.

"At least I found a way!"

"Hahahaha, yes. Yu Nuohai is not a person who is good at lying, so he simply doesn't say anything. ”

"So, they must have something to do with those demons!"

Two people talk together, as if they were talking to themselves.

"What's the matter with those Hades judges, why do those people really think of them as the ghost kings of the underworld?" Because, that's not the point anymore. He didn't believe in any ghosts and gods in this world. He was just a little curious.

"It's an illusion. ”

"Just those little tricks you played when you coaxed the girl?"

"Well, almost!" Guo Yu knew that there were some things that Xian Yuyan couldn't talk about, such as illusions, souls, demons, Buddhism and the like. He doesn't believe in that, and he transforms everything in this world into something he can understand. You tell him about illusions, and he understands that you take a look at the cherry and hide it very quickly, so the cherry is gone. However, that cherry must be somewhere on your body or simply in the other hand, and it will never disappear into thin air.

Simple people, who look at the world with the simplest thinking, often receive unexpected results.

However, illusion, sometimes it's really not that simple.

"That old butler didn't have illusions? Does that mean he's smart. Xian Yuyan sneered at each other.

"He was just lucky. The perpetrators do not seem to want to kill innocent people. It's easy to understand the gatekeeper and the patrolling guards, right?!What about the personal maids, because they were too close to the master's chamber to wake them up while they were doing something, they simply cast an illusion together. But they didn't expect that there was an old butler who couldn't sleep at night, and his ears were surprisingly sensitive, otherwise he would be enchanted together. Oh, I found this in the yard?" Guo Yu took out a small piece of residual incense.

Xian Yuyan twisted her brows, revealing an expression of "You go on, I'll listen".

Guo Hua's mischievous pretense was mysterious, and he didn't answer directly, but crushed the small piece of incense with his fingers and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. I saw Guo Hua's smiling face, slowly flushed, his breathing gradually became short, his eyes were slightly closed, and he had a very intoxicated and enjoyable expression, as if he was sipping the most mellow wine in the world.

Guo Yu enjoyed it for a while, shook his shoulders, and came to his senses.

"This is made with exotic flowers and exotic herbs produced in Nantianzhu, and I can smell that there are at least two kinds of mandala flowers and ayahuasca in it. Ayahuaca, the name sounds terrifying, but it is actually a good thing that can make people flutter in an instant. The demons who committed the crime used this incense to make those people lose their minds and be manipulated, believing that they were the Yama King and black and white impermanence in hell. "Guo Yu, he has a wide range of contacts, and he naturally knows such a thing as a fragrance. This was a common trick used by some low-level illusionists. Because he can't rely on his own strength to make people fall into an illusion, he has to use incense.

"Some of the monks who came to the Tang Dynasty to preach the Dharma from Nan Tianzhu will also use these drugs to show miracles in order to quickly recruit believers. 300 years ago, in the midst of troubled times, there was a monk named Kumarosh who claimed to be the second Buddha.

In order to obtain Kumarosh, the former Qin king Fu Jian sent the general Lü Guang to destroy Yanqi and destroy Guizi, and plundered Kumarosh to Liangzhou, and later Fu Jian died, Lü Guang established himself as the king and called the King of Liang, and regarded Kumarosh as a national teacher. Yao Xing, the lord of Later Qin, raised troops to extinguish Liang again, welcomed Kumarosh to Chang'an, respected as a national teacher, and entered the Ximing Pavilion of Xiaoyao Garden, translating scriptures and spreading the law. It can be seen that he was influential at that time. The "Diamond Sutra" he translated can be called the only true method of Chinese Buddhism and is widely distributed, and the "Heart Sutra" he translated is also regarded as the teacher of the "Heart Sutra" translated by Master Xuanzang of this dynasty.

As a young man, he was known for his Dharma and miraculous healing skills, and legend has it that he was able to revive the prince of King Kuzi when he died in full view. Therefore, the old king invited Kumarosh to open the altar to the thousands of princes and people to preach the Dharma, and when he was halfway through his lecture, the miracle of flowers and rain from the sky appeared, and the golden flowers that covered the sky fell from the sky with a charming fragrance and precious light, and his body also emitted the brilliance of ten thousand ways, dazzling. This miracle soon spread throughout the 3,000 Buddha countries in the Western Regions, causing shock, and it was regarded as a treasure by all the monks and princes of the world.

However, according to a monk friend of mine from Nantianzhu, it is possible that his so-called miracles borrowed the power of incense, causing millions of people to enter the illusion at the same time. Monks burning incense is a ritual, and no one will doubt it. Moreover, the father of this Kumaroshi is an upper-class nobleman from Nantianzhu. The statement of my Tianzhu friend is generally credible. At that time, using illusion to guide others was a common trick used by many monks in Nantianzhu. ”

"Miracles, do you want King Yama to come out, but I see you enjoyed it just now, King Yama, aren't you that beautiful?"

"The main purpose of incense is to make people lose their minds, and then adding different drugs will make people fall into different illusions, or horror or beauty. However, these drugs are also a secret thing in the legend in Nantianzhu, no one has ever seen them, let alone used them personally. Generally, when applying incense to people, they can be guided by words, actions or other props, so that others or themselves can enter a specific illusion. When the old housekeeper Xu Tai woke up, he saw that those people had already pretended to be Yama impermanence, and that was for this. The two of them were already eighty percent sure of the case in their hearts, so Guo Yu simply chatted with Xian Yuyan as if he were telling a story.

"What props did you just use? Xian Yuyan rolled her eyes, with an expression of meat that didn't give me a mouthful.

"I just thought of a girl. Guo Yu pursed his lips and said with a smile.

After Guo Yu finished speaking, he took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the incense powder in his hand, and threw it away along with the handkerchief.

"Hey, hey, you've thrown away the evidence. Xian Yuyan pretended to exclaim.

"So far, you don't really think that this case still needs a small incense stick as evidence. After several investigations, when the group of demons fled, they didn't even leave a trace of blood. It should be a trained killer organization, not an ordinary illusionist. And what is involved behind this is definitely not just a few lives. Where did you make an appointment with Han Dang?"

"In the defloration building of the West Market. Hey, what's going on over there?" As soon as Xian Yuyan finished answering Guo Yu, he found that there was a group of people surrounding there in front of him. This is not far from Xu Qiuchi's house, the location of the first intersection.

About thirty or so people gathered around, and in the middle were a few men in huge cloaks, made of linen, covered with patches, and in some places there were holes that were not sewn at all. Two of them had faintly dirty faces, and each of them had a broken bowl in front of him, and some copper coins had been thrown into it.

It's a begging person, but there's no need to watch there, just donate the money and disperse, why don't you disperse for a long time, the more people gather. The two of them thought about it, and couldn't help but come closer.

Only then did I find that the original people were sitting back to back in a circle, in a small open space in the middle, a little silver fox writhing there, as if learning to dance like a human, the face of the fox is also extremely charming, two dark blue eyes like the eyes of a beauty, looking forward to it.

It's really a spiritual creature that conquers the heavens and the earth. It turns out that these beggars used such a trick, no wonder they attracted so many people. Guo Hua thought in his heart.

Although the silver fox like a demon girl is rare, Guo Yu doesn't take it to heart, no matter how good other people's things are, he doesn't pay much attention to them.

Guo Yu instructed Qibao to drop a few pieces of broken silver, and wanted to beckon Xian Yuyan to continue his journey, but unfortunately saw a pair of eyes staring at him under the cloak of the beggar, which was a pair of very special eyes, just like the silver fox in front of him, a girl with a pair of fox-like eyes.

The girl smiled, guessing that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, although she had fox-like eyes, under that smile, she was not charming and coquettish, and she was even more naughty and cute.

Guo Yu also laughed, pulled up Xian Yuyan, and beckoned Qibao and others to squeeze out of the crowd. There were many people, and the news of the demon fox dancing spread in the market for a while, and people on the road kept surrounding.

The fox-eyed girl, although not among the best beauties, is also very cute with her youthful and lively playfulness. Guo Yu couldn't help but think of the woman in the car.

I don't know who she is, but since she knows me, there will always be a day when we will see her again.

Guo Hua and his party paced slowly, and they walked more than 100 steps, listening to each other's shouts, looking back, where just now, the crowd suddenly exploded, stumbling and running away. Someone ran and shouted, Fox Fairy, Fox Fairy. The fox fairy has appeared.

When Guo Hua and Xian Yuyan heard the sound, they stopped almost at the same time, and just as they saw a person who looked like a little second running over, Qibao stepped forward and grabbed him, shouting and asking what was wrong.

The little second should have been frightened, gesturing with his two hands, and talking in a mouthful of words.

It turned out that not long after Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan left. The fox-eyed girl whistled, and the charming silver fox stopped dancing, and suddenly fell into the girl's arms, and disappeared in the cloak. The girl, along with several other beggars, pulled down the cloak with a brush, and shrank their eyes and hands and feet under the cloak.

After a while, a bold man picked up a sackcloth cloak, but saw that under the cloak was only a wooden stick to support it, and everyone looked at the cloak, and the bottom was supported by wooden sticks, and the original beggar and the fox had long since disappeared. The timid people didn't know what to do, thinking that it was a demon, and shouted, and in an instant, the onlookers scattered and fled.

"These miscellaneous beards, pretending to be ghosts all day long, have been repeatedly banned!" Xian Yuyan scolded in a low voice.

Illusion originated in the countries of the Western Regions. As early as the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the Han army forced back the Xiongnu and opened trade routes with the countries of the Western Regions, there were wandering artists from Great Qin who offered the illusion of beheading and resurrection to Emperor Wu.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the monarchs of the Li and Tang dynasties attached great importance to the development and control of the Western Regions, and protected the smooth trade routes in many ways. Many jugglers wandering in the Western Regions traveled to Chang'an, Luoyang, and even various state capitals in order to survive.

Of course, there were also those who learned from their predecessors to perform on the emperor, but in the time of Emperor Gojong, because Emperor Gojong was very disgusted with illusion performances such as beheading, limb amputation, and waist beheading, he ordered a ban on illusion performances in the two capitals. However, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the people are rich, and those artists from the Western Regions who came to the Tang Dynasty to seek wealth and make a living are naturally repeatedly banned.

The miraculous disappearance of the beggars just now is called a blinding method, which can be regarded as a kind of illusion. They first use the silver fox to confuse people, ask for money, and then use the trick to get out, a few times or three times, they will win fame in the market, and they will have their own financial means in the future.

A rough person like Xian Yuyan doesn't know how to appreciate those mysterious and novel things, not to mention those Hu people who wander the streets to perform illusions, often do some stealing and adultery, and they are also the duty of Jin Wuwei, so they don't have a good impression of these illusions.

Looking at the group of beggars just now, there were six of them, and they did have some skills to escape in front of everyone.

Thinking of this, Guo Hua couldn't help but think of the "little fox" in the mouths of Song and Yu that night, such words could not be real names, they must be nicknames given by everyone, and the origin of the nickname is often related to the person's appearance and characteristics.

Perhaps, this is what they call the "little fox". In this way, the origin of this group may not be as simple as that of ordinary street artists.

Guo Yu didn't say anything to Xian Yuyan. Sometimes, knowing too much doesn't do you any good to solve a crime.

Everyone soon came to a carriage and horse shop, and Xian Yuyan instructed Qi Zuo and a group of brothers to go back and record today's case and investigation into a file. Because the three corpses had been brought back by the people in the prosecutor's office, many things were saved.

Guo Hua and Xian Yuyan went with Qibao, rented a carriage, and went straight to the flower picking building in the West Market.
