Tonight was not peaceful, a figure moved like lightning and was almost invisible, and the young woman who was walking on the night road with a vegetable basket accelerated her steps, and was suddenly thrown to the ground, "Ah! Barely screaming, the young woman was gone.

The creature that had pounced on her, sniffing her like a dog, its mouth wide open.

On the second day, in the yamen, a person was covered with a white cloth on the ground, revealing only a pair of embroidered shoes. There was an old woman kneeling next to her.

"Who's in the hall? Why drumming? The prefect patted the shocked wood and asked sharply.

"Lord Prefect, the people's women's tofu shop Li, my daughter-in-law rushed back from her mother's house last night, but she was unexpectedly killed!" As she spoke, the women began to cry and kept wiping their tears with their sleeves.

"Explain the situation clearly, otherwise how can I make decisions for you?" The prefect frowned in displeasure.

"Yes, Prefect!" Wiping away her tears again, the woman said: "My old man went early, and last year my son was arrested to be a strong man, and the family relied on my daughter-in-law to take care of ...... alone."

The prefect's brows furrowed, interrupting her, "Pick up the important ones!" ”

"Hey!" The woman replied, "Yesterday, my daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house, saying that she would come back in the evening, but she didn't arrive home until the third pole of the day, so I thought about going out to find her, but I didn't expect it...... Woo, I saw her slumped in the alley on the side of the road, I went over to take a look, the injury on my daughter-in-law's face was too cruel, the prefect, you want to be the master of the people's women! Catch this murderous demon and avenge my daughter-in-law! ”

After the woman finished speaking, the people outside who were watching the show looked curiously at the figure lying on the ground, wanting to see what kind of death it was.

The prefect said to the left and right protectors: "Open it!" ”

As soon as the white cloth was removed, everyone gasped, it was really terrifying, and they saw that the young woman's face had long been unable to see the original face, from the left eye to the nose, and then to the lips, as if half of the face had been gnawed off by some kind of monster, revealing the white bones of the forest, and in some places the skin and flesh were flying, and the blood had almost coagulated on it, and the black and red color was extremely hideous.

A naughty child mixed with the crowd actually cried, "Mother, is it a ghost who ate her face, I'm afraid!" ”

"Ahem!" The prefect was shocked, "The yamen decides the case, keep quiet, and the violators will be fifty!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to speak again, and even the child was tightly covered at the corners of his mouth and eyes.

The prefect looked at the corpse on the ground and said loudly: "Spread the word! ”

After some investigation, he replied: "Lord Hui, this person was attacked by a ferocious beast and ate its flesh and blood, resulting in his death!" ”

Hearing this, the prefect nodded, but the woman refused to accept it, "Your Excellency, this imperial city is a place where people live, and it has always been safe, and there is not even a single mountain fowl, how can it be attacked by wild beasts?" Someone must have killed my daughter-in-law and planted the blame on the beast! Ah, my poor daughter-in-law! Who hurt you, you told me in your dreams, I will avenge you! ……”

Hearing this, there was a commotion in the crowd outside the door, and the prefect was angry, patting the shocked wood, and reprimanded: "Bold foolish woman, Hugh is talking nonsense, just before you have verified the corpse, it is indeed eaten by beasts, and then you will mess around, and you will be punished with a cane!" ”

The woman was still unwilling, "But, ......" the prefect slapped, "Take your daughter-in-law down and bury it well, and for the sake of looking at the deceased today, I won't be guilty of disturbing the court, leave quickly!" ”

After speaking, she stood up and strode towards the inner hall, where the woman cried in a low voice and covered her daughter-in-law with a white cloth.

The crowd was in turmoil, and passer-by A whispered: "This imperial city is heavily guarded, how can there be wild beasts, isn't it just like the child's words, wronged ghosts asking for their lives?" “

Passerby Yi Se shrunk his neck, "Don't say it so scary, it seems that you still have to go out less at night." The crowd slowly dispersed, but the fear in my heart was like a thick fog, and it could not be dispersed again!

After Xuan Junyao got up, he picked up yesterday's thoughts, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, "Come on, I want realgar, garlic, pounder, and gauze!" ”

The maid looked dazed and asked carefully, "Princess, what do you want all this for?" ”

"You take care of me, go quickly!" Xuan Junyao shouted angrily, the maid trembled and walked out quickly, Xuan Junyao thought about it and shouted at her: "Is there a wind oil essence?" ”

The maid turned her head and shook her head, "Unheard of!" ”

"Roar~ Poor Country!" Xuan Junyao was displeased, frowned and waved her hand, and sent her away.

The maid's face was full of shock, "In this imperial city, if it is a poor and remote place, then what is the other place?" "I thought like this, but I didn't dare to slow down half a minute in my steps, should I go to report to the prince first?

In the study, Xia Shiming said in a deep voice: "Last night, someone in this city was attacked and gnawed off most of his face, I suspect that it was done by the goblins. ”

"You go and find out what kind of goblin is doing the trick, daring to spread wild on the king's territory!" Long Xiao frowned in displeasure.

Before Xia Shiming could speak, the two of them found someone outside the door at the same time, "Who?" ”

The maid came in trembling, but she just stood down, wanting to hear if she had disturbed the prince, why was she so fierce?

"Lord, I am the maid in the princess's room, the princess just asked for realgar, garlic, and a pounder, I came to ask if you want to give it to her!"

"Realgar?" Long Xiao wondered, "What does she want these things for?" ”

The maid replied: "The slave doesn't know, oh, yes, the princess still wants something called wind oil essence!" ”

"Wind oil essence?" Long Xiao pondered for a long time, Xia Shiming also frowned, and the maid asked carefully, "Do you want to give it to the princess?" "If you don't take the things back to restore the life of the unruly princess, I'm afraid that she won't have good fruit to eat.

"Take it, remember to report to me first if she wants anything in the future!" Long Xiao looked at her and said, "You did well today, go down and receive the reward!" ”

With a wave of her hand, the maid left happily, sweeping away the unhappiness of being reprimanded outside the door.

"How, realgar is a snake avoidance, isn't she sensing the snake spirit?" Xia Shiming guessed.

"I'm afraid that's the case, I'll go to her to have a look, and you go and find out if there are any goblins in the imperial city!" Remember to be careful! Don't bump into them, get back to me first! ”

"Yes!" After speaking, Xia Shiming's position was empty.

Long Xiao frowned, straightened his clothes, and walked out.

In the room, Xuan Junyao was so busy and unhappy, pounding garlic in her hands, constantly sneezing, only to hear "Ahhhhh Ahh With two sounds, Xuan Junyao stopped his hand and rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, "Rub, garlic is really hateful, no, the most hateful thing is that the dead King Xuan, the rotten snake demon, I curse you to be captured by the Taoist priest, the Leifeng Pagoda is pressed, the god form is disillusioned, and you can't die well!" ”

"Who doesn't want to die?" Long Xiao pushed the door in, looked at Xuan Junyao, and there was a smile on his cold face.

Xuan Junyao stood up in fright, and took a few steps back with the pounder, "My mother, when did you come?" ”

Long Xiao pursed his eyebrows, with a knowing expression, "The princess won't be cursing me to death, right?" ”

Obviously there was no expression on her face, but Xuan Junyao could see that she was banter and evil, just like a snake spirit, thinking like this, she took a few steps back in a row and hugged the thing in her arms tighter, "Overhearing people talking, rotten ass!" ”

Long Xiao frowned, Xuan Junyao also realized that he was a little too much, how could eavesdropping rot his ass, it should be his ears, but he came back to his senses immediately, I wiped it, and it was rotten, if it angered it for a while, it would not be good to be buried in the belly of the snake.

"What are you doing?" Long Xiao stared at the pounder in her arms, his eyes burning.

Eyes like! She only felt that her legs and feet were weak, "Don't come here, I have homemade snake medicine!" Very effective! ”

"Oh? Is it? Long Xiao slowly approached her, picked up the tamper from the utensils in her arms, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, "This smell is too strong, if you don't take the snake away, people will already faint, if you are really afraid of snakes, I will ask the doctor to match a few snake-repellent sachets later, and it is easy to wear!" ”

Xuan Junyao felt that she was trembling all over, and even her teeth were chattering up and down, this is definitely a top snake demon, and she is not even afraid of male yellow, what realm does this have to be practiced?

"You, you, you ......" Xuan Junyao, you haven't spoken for a long time.

Instead, Long Xiao opened his mouth and said: "I haven't gone out much recently, the imperial city is not peaceful!" With that, he left.

Xuan Junyao watched him leave step by step, until the door was closed, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, "Did he just take a snake step?" The recipe didn't work for him at all? "Immediately, his mind was clear, he had cultivated into a human body, so he would be afraid of these mortal things, but didn't Bai Suzhen just drink realgar wine to show his true body?

His head became more and more confused, Xuan Junyao ran to the quilt and covered his whole body, only to feel that as soon as he came, the room became very cold.
