Afterwards, Kang Tai, Annie, Zixia and Shang An escorted Miro, the king of Nase, into the mansion of Lord Di Renjie Di overnight, and learned that the adults were still not asleep, so they explained to Lord Di a series of incredible things such as how they planned to arrest criminals.

"This ------ this is really unbelievable, according to your words, this serial female corpse murder case that shocked the entire capital and even the whole country was committed by such a demon?" Di Renjie pointed to the motionless Miro and asked suspiciously.

"That's right, Master Di. Anne said with some emotion, "You must believe us, this demon is the mysterious and strange and cruel murderer you have been trying to capture! ”

"My lord, it is indeed the brutal murderer, and there can be no mistake. Yasuta also stepped forward and chimed in, "And I think that since you are willing to see us, it means that you still believe in us." ”

Di Renjie sighed and replied, and suddenly asked, "After talking about it for so long, who are you, where did you come from? What evidence can prove that this serial murder of female corpses was committed by this person? This is a major matter of human life, but you can't be careless!"

"Your Excellency wants proof, we have it, but as for who we really are, where did we come from? After that, Zixia actually forced out the souls of those tragic dead girls from Miro's body and proved it to him.

"My lord, we died so miserably! you have to decide for us------"

"This ------ is ------ they are ------" Di Renjie stared at these delicate-faced, floating, and disheveled souls, and he became obsessed for a while.

"Don't panic, adults, they're just ownerless ghosts, and they won't harm sentient beings. Zixia said politely.

"Yes, sir. Shang An stepped forward and said, "At best, they are just some air that contains the appearance of the deceased, so adults don't need to be afraid." ”

The old man was not afraid of them, but felt that all this was incredible. Di Renjie tried his best to defend himself.

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. Zixia added, "Don't be so surprised, just listen to what they have to say." ”

"Okay! If you have any grievances and come quickly, the old man will make the decision for you. After Di Renjie settled down, he said solemnly.

"My lord, the folk girl is the daughter of Wang Yuanwai of Wangjiabao in Dongshi, named Wang Xiulian. ”

"Oh! It turns out that you are Wang Xiulian, the first victim of this serial female corpse murder case!" Di Renjie said thoughtfully, "When the old man heard the news and rushed to the scene of the crime, no, it should be said that when he abandoned the corpse, he found that the victim's head was mysteriously missing, so he could not directly identify his identity. Later, after many searches and inquiries, the old man finally found out the identity of the victim. Wang Xiulian, 28 years old, is the daughter of Wang Mengsheng, a member of Wangjiabao in East City. ”

"Since the adults can know the identity of the folk girl well, then some clues should be found on the corpse of the folk girl, how can you let this demon continue to make waves?"

"Yes, my lord, why are you indifferent to our miserable death?"

Di Renjie, who had a haggard heart, was speechless for a moment when asked by these floating and looming souls, and could only sigh there.

"Okay, you don't have to question Master Di anymore, and you can't blame your lord for this!" Anne stepped forward to fight for Di Renjie and said, "You must know that in the past, all the adults faced were ordinary people with flesh and blood, but now the adults are facing a demon who has come and gone without a trace, even if you know the whereabouts of the murderer, what can you do? Do you think those officials and catchers are all immortals?"

Two

"Then how did you subdue this demon? Are you the real immortals?" Wang Xiulian's soul asked again.

"No, we ------ we are Xuanxin Authentic Sect members, and it is our vocation to subdue demons and subdue demons, of course we have the ability to subdue it. Anne replied with a somewhat panicked look.

"Oh, okay, third sister, don't hide your head and shrink your tail. Shang An said impatiently, "Even if we are immortals, so what? Now is not the time to discuss these issues. ”

"Yes, the first question now is how to end this serial murder case. Di Renjie said with an embarrassed face, "Although this suspected murderer has now been arrested by several high-ranking people, this murder case still cannot be resolved, let alone reported to the imperial court." ”

"Why is that?" Shang An asked, puzzled.

"There are three reasons, one is that this case is not committed by ordinary people, it is a demon, even if it is reported to the court, no one will believe it, and the old man will be falsely accused of bullying the king by a traitor. Second, the facts of this case are too bizarre, and there is still a lack of some more convincing evidence, the old man can't bring these ownerless ghosts to the court, right? Third, the murderer in this case was sealed by the spells of several high-ranking people, and he couldn't move, if it was reported to the imperial court, in case the emperor wanted to personally interrogate the murderer, then what should the old man do?"

"Oh! you people are really troublesome, and since you can't deal with this evil beast, leave it to me! Shang An said with some annoyance.

"Sister, pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

"Sister, I'm not wrong, these people are very useless! Hmph!"

"The superior man is angry------ the superior man is angry. After that, Di Renjie asked those wronged souls again, "Where is the head you are waiting for now?"

"It seems that ------ demon has been hidden in the big ice cellar in the palace dining room, yes, it is the ice cellar. Wang Xiulian replied dimly.

"How can you be in the ice cellar of the palace?" Di Renjie suddenly pondered for a moment and then said, "Oh! ”

"Wait, Master Di, please give this piece of embroidered handkerchief to the emperor, and after her old man sees it, she will believe everything you say. Anne took out a pink handkerchief embroidered with peony flowers from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Di Renjie and said.

"It's ------"

"Believe me, I won't hurt adults. ”

Di Renjie put away his handkerchief full of doubts, put on his court clothes, and after bidding farewell to everyone, he left his mansion in the official pride and disappeared into the thick night.

Soon after Di Renjie left, Shang An included the "Miro" who had been sealed by a spell into the "Fire God Dragon Order".

The "Flame Divine Dragon Order" is a piece of divine iron that has been exercised for a long time in the active volcanic rock in the Shenlong Mountain Range after the formation of heaven and earth. After hundreds of millions of years, the piece of divine iron that was refined was finally made into a piece of red light wrapped in red light and an insoluble token by the lava in the volcano. This token is made of the extremely hot air of heaven and earth, and has the ability to command the heavenly fire and subdue demons, and it is a treasure that Shang'an Fairy inadvertently obtained when he subdued the "Fire Unicorn Beast".

"Alright, it's not too early to send you where you need to go. After that, Zixia prepared to recite a scripture to send them to the underworld for reincarnation.

"Wait, benefactor. Wang Xiulian suddenly raised her pear blossom and rainy face, and pleaded, "Benefactor, the little girl wants to go home to visit the second elder before leaving this world, and ask the benefactor for permission." ”

"Yes, benefactor, please give us some time, let's go home and visit the second elder!"

"Okay, but you have to come back before dawn, or you'll be gone, you know?" Zixia warned them solemnly.

"Yes, thank you for your kindness. With that, they rushed out of the doors and windows like rain and wind, and disappeared into the night, frightening the butler of the Di Mansion.

Soon, Di Renjie was led by a eunuch to Shangyang Palace, and found that the palace was still brightly lit, and he knew that the female emperor had not slept all night for this murder.

"Your Majesty, Lord Di Renjie Di is out asking to see you. Shangguan Wan'er bowed down to her and said.

"Announce quickly. ”

"Yes. After Shangguan Wan'er answered her, she walked out of the palace gate and announced Di Renjie.

"Old minister, Di Renjie greets His Majesty the Emperor of God, may His Majesty the Emperor live long live. Di Renjie bent down and knelt down and said.

"Di Aiqing, please get up quickly. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Divine Emperor. ”

"Di Aiqing, is there a new development in the case?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"This ------," Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and then said, "Before the old minister speaks, I would like to ask Your Majesty to move the imperial dining room." ”

"It's so late, what are you going to do in the imperial dining room?"

"Old minister, there is a new discovery. ”

"Wan'er, move to the imperial dining room. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

On the way to the imperial dining room, Di Renjie told the female emperor about some incredible things that happened in his own home, including the four masters. Although she listened with some suspicion, she never showed that kind of suspicion, which surprised him a little.

In the midst of the thoughtful conversation between the two of them, the imperial dining room arrived.

As soon as Di Renjie entered the imperial dining room, he began to ask the steward and some eunuchs on duty about the exact location of the underground ice cellar and the seasonality of the ice cubes, as well as the duty situation in the imperial dining room in recent days. After learning about the situation, he walked slowly to the door of the ice cellar, carefully observing the rusty iron locks and chains on the doorknobs.

"Is the door of this ice cellar so locked except for winter and summer?" Di Renjie suddenly asked again.

"Yes, sir. The steward of the eunuch replied.

"Has anyone else approached the ice cellar in the past few days?"

"Nope. The steward and the eunuchs on duty replied in unison.

"So, in the last few days, have you been waiting for the night patrol to find anything out of the ordinary, for example, a dark shadow or some other strange person or thing. ”

When the eunuchs heard these questions, they began to exchange ears.

After a while, a little eunuch on duty stood up and replied thoughtfully: "Lord Di, Your Majesty the God Emperor, when the slave was on duty the night before yesterday, he accidentally saw some very strange scenes, but because the slave couldn't distinguish the authenticity at that time, he always thought that he had lost his eyes, so he didn't tell the others------"

"Okay, don't be fussy, tell me quickly, what did you see at that time?" asked the female emperor impatiently.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The little eunuch on duty hurriedly replied, "That night, the servant was patrolling the corridor, and suddenly felt a cold wind on his back. At that time, the minion thought that it was because of the strong wind at night, so he didn't want to go elsewhere and continue to move forward, but the more the minion walked forward, the more eerie and terrifying it felt like he had reached hell, so the minion became bold, and when he turned around so violently, he saw a strange dark cloud in the sky moving towards the minion like lightning, which frightened the minion------

"That's enough, open the door, I'm going to go in and find out. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Four

Soon, the door of the ice cellar was opened by the eunuch in charge, and suddenly a biting cold air hit everyone, making everyone feel unbearable.

"Go back and get the cotton robe to keep your majesty warm. Shangguan Wan'er instructed a eunuch.

"Yes. ”

"No, I want to experience this biting feeling of ice muscles. The female emperor said with her eyebrows furrowed.

"But Your Majesty, you must focus on the dragon body!" Di Renjie stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, take the dragon's body first. Shangguan Wan'er also stepped forward to dissuade her.

"I have made up my mind, so you don't need to say more. With that, the Empress went straight into the ice cellar, and soon everyone followed.

At first, they didn't find anything abnormal, until the end of the ice cellar, they found a terrifying and strange scene, no one thought that on a rectangular ice plate, there would be dozens of heads of the murdered girl in the shape of a "pyramid". Not only that, but all those heads were unbelievably long hair with their faces inward and outward, and each of them still had the same face, lifelike, which amazed everyone.

"What's going on with this ------? Why ------ have so many women's heads? What the hell do you say is going on?" said the eunuch in charge of the matter in a panic as he interrogated the little eunuchs on duty.

But those little eunuchs were all frightened, and they couldn't say half a word.

"What are you talking about?"

"We don't know ------ this! It's so weird. The little eunuch on duty replied.

"Alright, go count the heads. Di Renjie commanded.

"Yes, sir. The little eunuch on duty answered, walked over and counted them carefully, and then replied, "My lord, there are fifty in all." ”

"That's right. But that evil beast, why did you do this, what is its purpose?" Di Renjie muttered to himself, speculating.

"What? Fifty heads, this demon is so mad that he has no way to see a king. The female emperor said violently, "I will interrogate him myself." ”

"But Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome. ”

"Di Aiqing, didn't you tell me that the demon has been subdued by the masters, and what else is the trouble?" the female emperor asked in a suspicious tone.

"Please forgive your majesty, it's just because that evil animal has now been sealed by the master's spell and can't speak, so the old minister said that there is some trouble. Di Renjie replied matter-of-factly.

He saw that the female emperor was beginning to be suspicious of him, so he handed the handkerchief embroidered with peony flowers in his sleeve pocket to the female emperor.

"Who gave you this ------ piece of embroidered handkerchief?" the female emperor asked emotionally as she picked up the handkerchief with a pair of trembling hands.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, this embroidered handkerchief was given to the minister by a master, and she said that as long as His Majesty saw it, he would believe everything the minister said. Di Renjie replied with arched hands.

"What's her name, what does she look like, how old is she, is she tall or short, is she fat or skinny? The female emperor, who had already guessed eight or nine, suddenly interrogated emotionally.

"Back to His Majesty's words, the master never revealed her identity, so the old minister did not know her name. Di Renjie replied, "In terms of appearance, it can be said that he is delicate and lovely, and he is extraordinary! He is about 20 to 30 years old, and his height and posture are all very well-proportioned. ”

"You said they were three women and one man, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Great, take me to them. After that, the female emperor went out of the palace under the leadership of Di Renjie and rushed to Di Mansion.

Five

It was almost morning, but those ghosts still didn't return, which made Zixia, Shang An, Anne and Kang Tai, who were waiting for news in Di Mansion, a little unable to sit still.

"Oh, what's going on with them? Didn't they say they would come back before dawn!" Zixia said anxiously as she looked at the sky.

"Well, they shouldn't have been let out. Shang An followed suit, and said inexplicably, "Hey, I really didn't expect it, sister, you are also in a hurry! It's really weird!

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. Zixia was very annoyed and said, "Hey, I really regret that I shouldn't have agreed to their request at that time." ”

"Well, sister, now is not the time to regret it. Shang An suddenly said as if he had a solution, "Hey, sister, since they have lost their appointment and refuse to come back, then we can use the 'Soul Conjuring Technique' to recruit them back." ”

"yes! I didn't think of that! ”

"This is called the bystander clear, the authorities are confused. ”

"Someone is coming. "I sense that a lot of people are approaching here. ”

"Who?" Zixia asked subconsciously.

"Are those ghosts back?" Shang An asked again.

"It's not. Anne shook her head and replied sincerely, "My feelings tell me that it is a man and not a soul. ”

"Could it be that Master Di is back?" asked Kang Tai thoughtfully.

"Probably!" said Anne, uncertainly.

Just as they couldn't determine who it was, a familiar and crisp voice came through the door in the quiet of the night.

"His Majesty the Divine Emperor has arrived!" Shangguan Wan'er announced loudly as she continued to walk forward with the female emperor.

"Oh my God! Mother is here. After being surprised, Anne grabbed Kang Tai's hand and asked very excitedly, "I don't even have the slightest mental preparation, what should I do?"

"What should I do? Isn't this what you expected? If you can see your mother here, won't you have to worry about entering the palace? This is a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone? What are you going to do? Go out and meet you!"

"Oh, thank you for giving me strength. With that, Anne kissed him on her own initiative, then turned and ran out of the room in high spirits.

"Wow! The third sister is really crazy, too numb. Shang An hugged her own arms and said in a deliberately trembling voice.

"Okay, let's stop talking about it, let's go out and have a look!" Zixia said.

"Don't summon spirits?" Shang Anwei asked with a smile.

"What kind of soul are you summoning? aren't you afraid of scaring mortals to death outside?"

"That's right, let's go, go out and have a look. As soon as the words fell, Shang An pulled Zixia and walked out, and of course Kang Tai followed out.

As soon as they left the room, they saw the touching scene when the mother and daughter met. The two faced each other like that, looking at each other quietly, although neither of them spoke for a while, but all this is no longer important, and the real emotion does not need to be expressed.

"Jin ------ Yao------ Jin Yao------, my daughter, mother has finally seen you. The female emperor was excited with tears in her eyes, and naturally opened her arms, making a look of preparing to hug, and said in a slightly trembling voice.

"Mother!" Anne finally cried out loudly, but before she could finish speaking, she threw herself into the arms of the Emperor, and cried with tears, "Do you know that here you are my only mother! I miss you so much------ I miss you so much! Mother ------"

At the same time that everyone was infected by that strong family affection, those ghosts who went home to visit their relatives actually floated back like a white mist, and instantly broke the warm and passionate atmosphere.

Soon, the scene became chaotic. Some of the eunuchs and palace maids were frightened, and each of them shouted something like "Ghost, strange!" and so on.

"Okay, what's your name? "The empress calmed the confusion as soon as she became angry.

"Mother, they are the victims of this serial murder of female corpses. Anne said.

"Hey, it's a shame to be ------, in the mood for such a flower. After the female emperor felt sorry for this, she asked with an angry face, "Where is the evil animal that destroyed flowers and killed people?"

"Oh, for the sake of insurance, I have already collected that evil animal into the 'Fire Divine Dragon Order', and I am afraid that it has already been reduced to ashes by the 'Three-Element Fire Qi'. Shang An replied as he took out the red-glowing token.

"Hey, that's fine. The female emperor sighed slightly and said, "The case can be successfully solved, and the two gods can be said to have contributed a lot!"

"Oh, Your Majesty is serious, this is what we should do. Zixia said modestly.

"Hey, mother, you can't give all the credit to your two sisters! My daughter and Mrs. Kang also contributed, and this arrest was organized and planned by my daughter!"

"Well------! you're all indebted. The female emperor smiled and said, "You! have not changed at all, you are still so childish when you are so old." ”

"Didn't you say you liked your daughter the most?" said Anne, in the arms of the Emperor.

"Yes, that's right, my mother just likes your childishness. The female emperor said again.

"Old minister, congratulations on the reunion of your majesty's mother and daughter. Di Renjie stepped forward and saluted.

"Yes, yes, I and Jin Yao are reunited, but they are leaving their parents forever. The female emperor said very regretfully.

"Yes, they're so pathetic. Anne also said with great regret.

"Hey, it's a pity that no one can change it, so much more we can help. Shang An stepped forward and said.

"Dear benefactors, don't feel sorry for us, we have nothing to regret when we can see our parents for the last time before leaving this world. After saying that, Wang Xiulian slowly closed her eyes, but the tears were still floating upwards like waves that had lost their weight.

"The old man has never understood, why did that evil beast hide the head of you in the ice cellar in the first place?" Di Renjie suddenly took the opportunity to confide in the question in his heart.

"Because it wants to satisfy that perverted possessiveness, it treats our heads as ------ as the spoils of its crimes. Wang Xiulian replied angrily.

"Alright, it's getting late, it's time to hit the road. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zixia recited a very strange scripture and sent away those ownerless ghosts. Then, the sky also brightened.

Presently the Empress took out the handkerchief embroidered with peony flowers, wiped away the tears from the corners of Anne's eyes, and then called Kang Tai over, clasped their hands together, and before they could speak, she preemptively said, "Mother owes you a promise, and now is the time to keep it." ”

Two days later, the female emperor Wu Zetian held a very grand wedding for Anne and Kang Tai in Shangyang Palace. On that day, they were very excited, and their dream for many years finally became a reality, but they still hated the struggle for power in the court, and finally chose to leave the capital and travel all over the world.

"I know I can't keep you, go and find your own world. The female emperor stood on top of the tower, looked at their distant convoy and said to herself.

"I'm sorry! Mother, my daughter broke her promise, and my daughter is not filial. Anne sat in the carriage and said with tears streaming down her face.

"Lady, don't be like this, don't be sad, we will come back. Kang Taiyi hugged her into his arms and comforted her patiently.

In this way, with a faint sense of longing, they left Luoyang and went to the coast of the East China Sea, preparing to find the whereabouts of Lin Zhiyang and Duo Jiugong, and set sail with the two. However, after passing through Runzhou, they met an old acquaintance less than five miles away from the East China Sea, that is, King Luo Bin, who threw himself into the river and "committed suicide".

Luo Bing Wang threw himself into the river not to commit suicide, but to escape. Because he grew up on the edge of the river pond since he was a child, he was very familiar with the nature of water, so he escaped from Ascension without dying. When he met with Tang Ao and the others, he miraculously awakened Mrs. Luo's senses. Degree of literature
