Chapter 00011 Four Demon Hunts
Uncle Shi said that the blood of the nine-tailed demon fox has the effect of turning decay into magic. Of course, not only the blood of the nine-tailed demon fox, but also the blood of many strange beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" have very unique functions.
I asked my uncle, so that means that the strange things recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are all true?
Uncle Shi's answer was still vague, "Jiu'er, there are no wonders in the world. Your grandfather didn't take you to the capital, just because you have a shallow foundation and can't cope with many things.
You are upright, but you always like to meddle in things that are injustice, and you will always suffer if you know too much. However, you always want to inherit your grandfather's mantle, and the Cheng Fu murder case is also an opportunity, so you should investigate it carefully. β
"Then what about Tang Jinghong? Isn't she a nine-tailed demon fox? β
Uncle Shi shook his head, "It may not be true, you can figure it out by yourself, Uncle Shi is gone." β
Uncle Shi is always like this, and other things will always be explained to me very clearly, but once it involves strange and chaotic things, what he says is foggy and incomprehensible.
After Uncle Shi left, Niu Meng picked up the cigarette pouch and smoked a smoky cigarette.
"Brother Jiu, wouldn't Miss Tang really be a nine-tailed demon fox? If that's the case, you have to pay attention to those rumors that suck people's yang energy, aren't all female monsters like this? Rely on sucking people's yang energy to maintain their appearance. No wonder she looks better than the immortals. β
"Go, go, it's a fictitious thing, if Miss Tang is really malicious, why do you still help me heal my injuries? Mengzi, do you believe that there are monsters in this world? β
"Believe it, why don't you believe it? Uncle Shi didn't say it, for ants, we are monsters, I think it makes sense, maybe there are really gods living on the sun. β
I'm actually quite depressed in my heart, not that I don't believe in these things.
It's my grandfather who taught me since I was a child that if you want to understand something, you have to find out. If Tang Jinghong is really a nine-tailed demon fox, then where did she come from? Since the nine-tailed demon fox exists, it means that the deeds recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are true.
So where is this place? Far away from the other side of the ocean?
What happened in the past two days gave me a lot of headaches, and before my doubts were solved, I had even more doubts.
It seems that something terrible is involved behind the murder of Cheng Fu.
With so many people dead, Lord Fu Yin was indifferent. said that Jinyiwei took over, except for the seal posted on the gate of Chengfu, I haven't heard of anyone from Jinyiwei coming.
The six doors and the four demon traps that Uncle Shi just said are also long overdue, shouldn't this kind of thing happen a long time ago? Why only now?
In short, everything is out of order.
I pondered for a while, and called Niu Meng to come with me to find Lord Fu Yin. Now in the entire Jinling City, I'm afraid only he knows the details of Chengfu's murder.
As for whether Tang Jinghong is a nine-tailed demon fox, when she comes back at night, she will find out when she asks.
Anyway, that gentle and lovely Tang Jinghong is simple and naΓ―ve and easy to deceive, and it is not difficult to get words out of her mouth.
Before going out, I took two calligraphy and paintings from the Tang Dynasty and prepared to give them to Lord Yin. If you want to ask something, you can only do what you like. Although I took over the life for the wife of Lord Yin, one yard is one yard, and the affairs of officialdom have to be done according to the rules of officialdom.
In Nanya's words, now that Wei Zhongxian interferes in the government and wants to be the master of the blue sky, he will definitely not see the sun the next day.
On the road, the government began to impose martial law again, and the officers and soldiers stood neatly on both sides of the street, and made a special way out.
I heard that it was to welcome the arrival of the six gates and the four demon hunts.
Niu Meng complained beside him, "Brother Jiu, what is the origin of these six doors and four demons?" Brother Nan Ya hadn't seen such a big battle when he came to Jinling before. β
"I don't know, I've heard Nan Ya mention it before, and it's an organization established together with the Jinyi Wei Soul Exploration Division. It is estimated that Lord Fu Yin will have to greet them in person today, let's go, just to see these six doors and the four demon hunts. β
Niu Meng pursed his lips and stopped talking.
When the two of us were about to walk to the prefect's county office, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind us.
"The court is handling the case, the idlers retreat, get out of the way, get out of the way! looking for death, isn't it! β
At this moment, a bamboo dragonfly suddenly floated down the middle of the street in front of me. A little girl squeezed out of the crowd, presumably because she was too small, and the officers and soldiers guarding did not notice her.
The little girl squatted down to pick up the dragonflies, not noticing the horses galloping behind her.
I handed the calligraphy and painting in my hand to Niu Meng and hurriedly jumped out.
At the same time as I picked up the little girl, the officers and soldiers on horseback had already rushed over.
I saw him rein in the reins, and the red steed neighed and raised its front hooves.
I didn't have time to think about it, and I slapped the horse in the chest.
There was a cry of exclamation, and the horse fell to the ground, screaming twice, spitting blood, and then stopped moving, presumably dead.
When the horses fell to the ground, the officers and soldiers on the horse jumped off the horse, drew the leather whip from their waists, and yelled at me, "Damn, dare to block the way of the court, I don't want to live!" β
At the same time, the riders behind them reined in their horses.
There were seven or eight of them in the group, dressed in six doors, but only one seemed to be the leader.
It is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a good appearance and an extraordinary atmosphere, with a golden waist tag hanging on his waist, and the word "demon" engraved on the waist tag.
I think it should be one of the four demon traps of the six gates.
I ignored the roaring officer and soldier and sent the little girl into the crowd.
Niu Meng also squeezed out, "Brother Jiu, are you okay?" β
I shook my head, "It's okay, let's go." β
Niu Meng glanced back at the officers and soldiers, and spat on the ground, "Phew, what am I doing as six doors, it turns out that it is also a rotten bird that cares about people's lives!" β
"Niu Meng, go." I don't want to cause more trouble.
Although the commander of the famous Jinyi Guard Soul Exploration Division is my brother, I should be low-key.
When the two of us were about to leave, someone behind us shouted, "Stay behind." β
I turned around and saw that the leader had already dismounted from his horse, and he walked up to me and bowed, "A good man has good palm power, and he is a big demon hunter in the lower six doors, Feng Xiaozhi dares to ask the name of the good man." β
To be honest, I really hate this Feng Xiao's idiot, his face is full of sophistication.
"The surname is Nan, and the single name is a nine." I'll reply to him.
Feng Xiaonian raised his eyebrows, "Nan Ya's younger brother? No wonder. β
"If Lord Feng is fine, let's go first."
"Nan Gongzi, today's matter is really our six doors reckless and ill-considered, and I hope Nan Gongzi will not be surprised."
"I'm a flat-headed commoner, how dare I blame the head catcher of the six doors. Nothing, I'll go first. β
"Nan Gongzi walks slowly."
Feng Xiaoluo didn't keep me anymore, Niu Meng asked me, "Brother Jiu, I don't feel that this person is bad." β
"Mengzi, do you know physiognomy?"
Niu shook his head.
"This person's seal hall is narrow, his eyebrows and eyes are too close, and he is the appearance of great treachery and evil. It is estimated that he is another high-sounding scum. β
"Brother Jiu still reads a lot, and he speaks word by word."
I also learned physiognomy from my grandfather, although there are sometimes mistakes in looking at such things as physiognomy, but most of the cases are accurate. Physiognomy and fortune-telling are quite mysterious, believe it or not, it's all up to you.
On the way, I discussed the name Feng Xiaonian with Niu Meng, and I thought it should be a fake name, or a stage name or something, just like most women in Yihong Courtyard don't use their real names.
Most of the women in Yihongyuan are from poor backgrounds and have never read books, so they are often called something, Xiaohong, Xiaocui, Chunmei, Apricot Peach or something.
After entering Yihong Hospital, after training, he will take a new name.
People like the Six Doors Demon Catcher who are also engaged in secret activities naturally don't use their real names.
When I came to the prefect and county office, I made my intention clear, and Lord Yin announced that I had seen me. But I didn't let Niu Meng in, and I can understand who let me have a high-powered grandfather and brother.
Lord Yin's surname is Li, and his single name is Xing. Although he is not a particularly clean official, he will not do those things of the common people.
In Jinling City, which is the accompanying capital, it is not easy to stick to its bottom line.
Master Li didn't ask me about my intentions, and said that the four demons of the six doors just happened to be captured today and took me to get to know each other.
He showed me the documents of the imperial court with four names written on them.
Feng laughs and is stupid, Yao is flattering, Bi is delirious, and Sha hates Liang.
These four names are weird, but they're also interesting. The last word of the surname and the first name are connected, respectively, every demon must kill, and the charm of the ghost.
I joked with Mr. Li and said, "Mr. Lee, the names of these four people are quite interesting, just like youkai." β
Master Li's expression suddenly became very nervous, stared at me for a while, and smiled awkwardly, "Jiugongzi said that he was laughing, how can anyone be a monster." β
I thought Master Li was weird, he must know something, so I decided to test him again.
"Lord Li, I haven't asked you about the Cheng Mansion murder case for a long time, this case is too strange, does Lord Li know something?"
After I finished asking, I found that Master Li's eyes became a little frightened, and he sighed softly, "Ninth Prince, I can't hide it, this case is no longer under the control of Tianfu." Tomorrow I will return to my hometown, and the court will send a new lord Yin. Prior to this, all the affairs of Ying Tianfu were taken over by the six gates. If the Ninth Prince has any questions, he should ask them. β
I wanted to ask something more, but the officers and soldiers came in and reported, "My lord, the people from the six doors have arrived. β
Master Li hurriedly led me out to greet me.
To my surprise, it wasn't four people, but one.
It's a girl, wearing a black dress, with a black veil on her face, and a slim figure. There is also a waist card engraved with the word "demon" on the waist.
She was holding a black cat in her arms, and it is worth mentioning that this is a black cat with red eyes.
When the girl let go of her hands, the black cat jumped on her shoulder, crouched there, and stared straight at me.
The girl took out the holy decree and raised it above her head, "I am here to take over Ying Tianfu by order of the imperial court." β
Master Li hurriedly knelt down, "Weichen Li Xing leads the order, thank you Lord Longen." β
In fact, it is difficult to say whether this holy decree was written by the emperor or not, and now that Wei Zhongxian is covering the sky with one hand, false transmission of the holy decree has long become commonplace for him.
Next, Master Li handed over the official seal and official uniform, packed up his things, and hurriedly moved away. It turned out that before I came, Master Li was ready to leave.
I sat with this girl in the main hall, she was very patient in the cat, and I watched her cat quietly.
It wasn't until Master Li left that the girl spoke, "There is a lot of anger on the ninth prince's body. β
