The entire Chenji Palace suddenly fell into chaos, and the demon servants could not continue the work at hand, but instead turned their attention to the ghost slave No. 4 who returned to the Chenji Palace with Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu, while the palace guards were completely on alert, ready to subdue this monster on the spot at any time. Ghost Slave Four himself didn't mind their reaction, looking back at the eyes that were staring at it with a smug face, making a grimace or waving his fist from time to time.

When they were about to enter the Auxiliary Star Palace, they met Ouyang Hongye, who hurried over after hearing the news, although there had already been a demon servant who had rushed to inform him that such an uninvited guest had come to the palace just now, but he was still surprised to see the ghost slave No. 4, he frowned and asked, "Why did you bring it in?" ”

"It's called No. 4, it used to be the ghost slave next to the Rakshasa Mother, and it just took us to find the entrance to the secret passage hidden in the back mountain outside the Chenji Palace, and now it's here to get the reward." Ouyang Xiaoleng took a step in the direction of Ouyang Hongye, and then whispered to him, "You can find a place to place it first!" ”

"Why is it different from what I said at the beginning?! Don't think I can't hear you when you whisper! Although Ghost Slave No. 4 had long expected that Ouyang Xiaoleng would not fulfill his promise so easily, he still acted quite angry.

"Come with me!" Ouyang Hongye narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said to Ghost Slave Four, his smile seemed to have the ability to easily resolve the anger of others.

Ghost Slave No. 4 followed Ouyang Hongye to the courtyard where the demon servants lived at the back of the Auxiliary Star Palace, and ordered a demon servant to lead it to bathe and change clothes. Ghost Slave No. 4 can't remember the last time he took a bath, and if he had to go back, it would probably be more than ten years ago.

After entering the bathroom, it couldn't help but sigh that this place was worthy of Chenji Palace, and even the servants could bathe in such a good place. The servant in charge of guiding him pointed to the pool that was already filled with hot water, and withdrew, knowing that he was reluctant to let the filthy creature use their bathroom.

After taking a bath, Ghost Slave No. 4 not only felt refreshed, but his mood was not as bad as just now. It decided to settle down as soon as it came, and first lived in the Chenji Palace, after all, it was safer here than outside, although there was less freedom, but it could only be blamed for not finding a way to escape at the beginning, and if it was shaken, it fell into the trap of the demon king fox boy.

While the servant was bathing, he took a piece of clothing for it, which was old but clean and tidy. After it changed its clothes, it was brought to Ouyang Hongye by the demon servant, Ouyang Hongye looked it up and down, nodded and said, "It looks much more comfortable now!" ”

"You must have left me here in the hope that I could provide more information, right?" Ghost Slave No. 4 asked directly.

"You are really different from other ghost slaves, yes, as long as you are willing to help us, not only can your safety be guaranteed, but also about the gold mentioned earlier." Ouyang Hongye also kept beating around the bush.

"Since that's the case, I don't think I can refuse, are you a steward in this palace?" Ghost Slave No. 4 moved his heart again.

"I am the red-haired demon fox Hou Ouyang Hongye who is in charge of the affairs of the palace."

"That's easy, bring me roast chicken and good wine every day, and I can think about what to do to help you!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"Don't say anything, it's a matter of words, that little ...... just now" Ghost Slave No. 4 wanted to call Ouyang Xiaoleng a brat, but he swallowed it back and changed his words, "Just now, the demon king fox boy also promised to give me the gold as long as he found the secret passage, but the result was not the same backtrack?!" ”

"And what do you want?" Ouyang Hongye was not angry at the ghost slave's offense, and still asked calmly.

"Give me the gold first, so that I can see some tangible benefits, I promise not to leave, anyway, I know in my heart that I can't escape from the palm of your hand."

"Okay!" After Ouyang Hongye promised it, he summoned a demon servant to go to the palace vault and fetch a small bag of gold for it.

After the ghost slave No. 4 got this heavy bag of gold, he immediately smiled, and danced for a while before it quieted down, and it was arranged to live in a separate courtyard, because no demon servant wanted to live with it, so it had to be given a separate room, which was exactly what it wanted.

Ouyang Xiaoleng had been thinking about the signature pen he had picked up in the secret passage, but was it inadvertently left there? Or maybe he did it on purpose. After he returned to Ouyang's ancient mansion with Xia Qiu, he took the pen out of his pocket and took it in his hand to study it carefully.

Although it looked like an ordinary signature pen on the surface, he subconsciously rotated it to open it, revealing a white paper roll in the middle of the barrel in addition to the refill. He pulled out the scroll and carefully unfolded it, it seemed to be a map of a certain place, but it was a small area, and there were no references or words, so it was difficult to tell what it was.

"You can show it to Dong Muya and them!" Xia Qiu suggested on the side.

"Hmm!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said and walked towards the underground database with Xia Qiu.

On this day, Min Entong had to stay at home because of his uncle's return from other places, so Dong Muya was the only one in the underground database. She continued to study the diary left by Ran Tianyou and the information given by Dong Fan, but after a day of research, there was no substantial gain, except that she felt tired, but also discouraged.

At this time, the appearance of Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu made her eyes light up, she put the folder in her hand on the table, showed a lazy smile and said, "Have you gained anything?" ”

"We managed to catch the ghost slave called Four, and with its help, we found a secret passage." Ouyang Xiaoleng responded to her.

"Alas, that's good! I can only describe it in four words, nothing! Dong Muya sighed deeply, and it was not difficult to see how depressed she was.

"Come and see this!" After Ouyang Xiaoleng finished speaking, he handed the paper taken out of the pen barrel to Dong Muya.

Dong Muya took it, held on to the glasses frame and looked at it for a while, took it to the scanner next to him by getting up, and quickly scanned it into his computer, and said: "I can use the software designed by Min Entong to compare this map with the maps of various places in the demon world, let's start with Wangcheng!" ”

After she finished speaking, she typed a few times on the keyboard, and finally clicked the enter key heavily, and a detailed map of Yongchuan, the king of the demon world, appeared on the computer screen, and the program began to quickly compare the map that had just been scanned into it with every place in the map.

"How long will it take?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked, he was very curious about this new program.

"It's hard to say, it's probably going to take a few hours!" Dong Muya's entire attention had been shifted to the picture in his hand. She blinked suddenly, as if she had a new plan, and after figgling through the mess on the table, she found a small flashlight that was designed to illuminate the words written in the Invisibility Potion, and used it to shine it on the paper. In the lower right corner of the paper, a word appeared in the bottom right corner, and she exclaimed, "Sure enough! ”

"It seems that it is really left by Ran Tianyou!" Ouyang Xiaoleng looked at the word Ran and said.

"Shouldn't we get in touch with Ran Mingzhu? Tell her what you know about it. Xia Qiu thought that Ran Mingzhu must be waiting anxiously, so he said.

"Okay, do you have a way to reach her?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.

"Well, we've left each other's numbers, I'll call her right now." Xia Qiu took out his mobile phone and flipped out the number of Ran Mingzhu in the address book and said.

"When did you all get to the point where you got to be so close to each other?" Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't imagine that in the previous brief contact, they would have similar opportunities.

"Yes, when......" Xia Qiu couldn't give an answer.

Ran Mingzhu is also using her own methods to find news of her father, and her first thought is to find information dealers from the Internet and make transactions. After browsing countless websites, she stumbled into a forum filled with bizarre posts, and as soon as she registered a username, someone started sending her private messages.

The other party's name is Lan Zhou, and he asked her straight to the point if she needed to find an intelligence dealer, which just solved her urgent need. After she replied in the affirmative, Lan Zhou quickly asked what information she wanted to investigate.

She explained her needs clearly, and Lan Zhou asked her to wait for a while, and when she found a clue, she would take the initiative to contact her, and hand over the money and deliver the goods with her. Before she could ask Lan Zhou how to contact her, the page suddenly closed, and after entering the same address again, no matter how many times she tried, she could no longer enter the same page.

Because the other party did not directly ask for the fee, but waited until the clue was found before paying, she felt that it was unlikely that the other party was a liar, but how to explain this ghost-like forum? Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang, the phone ringtone was the theme song of one of her favorite cartoons, with a strong sense of rhythm, and the lead singer's voice was very high-pitched, which startled herself.

glanced at the phone screen, the name displayed was Xia Qiu, which made her excited, thinking that it was likely that she and Ouyang Xiaoleng had a new clue about her father Ran Tianyou, so she quickly picked up the phone. After Xia Qiu told her some of the information she already had, her first reaction was to ask, "Do you think that the possibility of your father entering the demon world after leaving Yujin Apartment is getting higher and higher?" And I always feel like he's still alive, you say? ”

Xia Qiu couldn't give her a positive answer, so she could only comfort her and say: "In any case, the investigation is going on in an orderly manner, and we have gained something in such a short period of time, so we will definitely be able to uncover the answer to everything in the near future." ”

"Uh-huh, it's nice to hear that......" Ran Mingzhu had tears in her eyes, she wanted to tell them about that strange forum, but in the end she said, "See you at school on Monday!" ”

Xia Qiu hung up the phone and said to Ouyang Xiaoleng, "Tomorrow I have to apply for a day off." ”

"How?" Ouyang Xiaoleng turned his gaze from Dong Muya's computer screen to her and asked.

"I thought I was going to the station to take my dad back to Beijing at night, so I wanted to talk to him more during the day." Xia Qiu replied with a smile.

"What time is the train, I'll send him off too!" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked with a hint of shyness on his face.
