The night breeze rolls in the blue, and the central lawn of the Chuanquan City Zoo is lit with sparks, which is particularly eye-catching in the inky night.

I saw that under the background of the flames, Ji Xuelanyu, dressed in white, stood in the middle of the battlefield that had just subsided, gently stroking a flute.

And behind her, the canine-headed ghost, who was tightly bound by white satin and couldn't move, stared at her with a look of resentment.

"What a delicate and beautiful artifact......"

Looking at the flute in her hand, Ji Xuelan couldn't help but praise a few words, then turned around and asked the dog-headed ghost:

“...... This Lingyin magpie flute was given to you by the Big-Bellied Fairy, where is he hiding now?"

"Humph......"

The dog-headed ghost snorted coldly when he heard this, don't turn his head and ignore Ji Xuelan.

"Hehe, don't you want to answer?"

Seeing this, Ji Xuelan sneered, found a stone beside him and sat down, then looked at the dog-headed ghost and persuaded:

“...... I know that you are loyal to your gang leader Yin Yang Zi, and I also know that your Blood River Gang has strict rules, especially the means of punishing traitors, which are even more cold-blooded and cruel.

But now I didn't let you betray your gang leader and the Blood River Gang, I asked about the big belly fairy, and he is not your gang, so you don't have to accept it for him. ”

The dog-headed ghost raised his eyes to look at her, opened his mouth and said coldly:

"The Blood River Gang, faith and righteousness are the most important, although the body is ten thousand deaths, it will never be outside!"

"Good, good, good! It is worthy of being a heavy subordinate of Yin and Yangzi, and it is really a hard ......."

Ji Xuelan clapped her hands approvingly, then frowned, looked at him with a cold face and said coldly:

“...... But you've probably heard of what our Yama will be.

If you confess now, you may still have the opportunity to be reincarnated and become a new person.

But if you insist on resisting to the end......

Hehe, the eighteen layers of hell can make you unable to survive, die, or be born forever. ”

The dog-headed ghost trembled when he heard this, but he still gritted his teeth and said stiffly:

"Hmph, you, don't try to scare me, I've read "The Law of the Netherworld", and I know that your Nether Detective Bureau doesn't allow torture to extract confessions now!"

"Hehe, really? Very good, let's wait and see......"

Ji Xuelan sneered confidently at him when she heard this.

"Sister Lan——!"

"Sister Arashi——!"

At this moment, I saw Fan Tianjiu and Si Bi'an shouting while appearing from the edge of the grass and running quickly to Ji Xuelan's side.

"How's it going? Have all the beasts been back in their cages?"

When Ji Xuelan saw the two, she looked at them and frowned.

"Whew, whew...... report, report Sister Lan, beasts like lions, tigers, orangutans and other fierce beasts have rushed back to the cage and locked up.

The rest of the small animals such as pheasants, hares, peacocks, etc., our brothers really couldn't catch them, so we had to wait for the zoo staff to deal with them tomorrow. ”

Si Bi'an panted and reported to Ji Xuelan.

"Grandma's...... In order to deal with the two of us, this grandson almost released half of the zoo's beasts, making this municipal zoo look like a safari park, and almost didn't exhaust my brothers to death in order to catch those beasts......"

Fan Tianjiu glanced at the dog-headed ghost next to him hatefully, then rolled his eyes, grabbed Ji Xuelan's slender hand, and said while pulling her:

"Sister Lan, you come, you come, I'll tell you something......"

"Don't pull and pull, let go of me!"

Ji Xuelan and Fan Tianjiu came to the tree next to them, shook off Fan Tianjiu's hand, and said unhappily:

"That's it...... Say, what's the matter?"

"Sister Lan, look at this ......"

Fan Tianjiu said as he reached out and took out the purple crystal box from his arms and put it in front of Ji Xuelan's eyes, and whispered to her:

"Sister Lan, when Anzi and I arrived here, we found that he was sneakily trying to dig up this crystal box and destroy it.

From this, I speculate that this kobold's original intention tonight was to smuggle the box into the underworld, but to be on the safe side, he buried the box here first, and then dragged a cart of lonely souls to break through the test.

If it succeeds, he comes and takes it to Hades, and if it fails, he runs here and destroys it. From this, it can be seen that this thing is definitely an important object. ”

"Well, your guess is valid, and judging by the glittering appearance of this box, it seems to be an artifact as well...... Huh, the lid on this box seems to move?"

Ji Xuelan listened and carefully observed the box in her hand, and suddenly Ji Xuelan's embroidered eyebrows jumped, and she pointed to the amethyst box in Fan Tianjiu's hand and said.

"Huh, really......"

Fan Tianjiu pinched the box and broke it lightly when he heard this, only to hear the sound of the card, and the lid of the amethyst box was actually opened by him!

"Woo ——!"

At this moment, I saw that as the lid of the box was opened, a thick white gas instantly gushed out from the amethyst box, enveloping the two of them in an instant.

"Sister Lan be careful ——! poisonous gas ——!"

Fan Tianjiu was shocked when he saw this, threw the box in his hand, jumped up with a shout, opened his arms and hugged Ji Xuelan's delicate body, and instantly threw her to the ground.

"Fan Tianjiu, what are you doing?!We are black and white impermanence, all poisons are inviolable, and the poisonous gas in the yang world is ineffective against us, you let go of me!"

Ji Xuelan seemed to hate Fan Tianjiu's hug, and shouted as she struggled.

"What if it's the poisonous gas of the underworld that specializes in dealing with ghosts and gods?" Sister Lan, it's safer for us to lie like this......

Fan Tianjiu was still lying on the ground holding Ji Xuelan's delicate body and shouted.

"Stupid——! don't you see all this white smoke gathering on the ground?

No matter how Ji Xuelan struggled, she couldn't break free from Fan Tianjiu's embrace, so she had to shout anxiously and angrily in his arms.

"Huh, it seems to be ......."

Fan Tianjiu came back to his senses when he heard this, let go of Ji Xuelan and jumped up to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the white mist coming out of these boxes had all settled on the ground, and he didn't even reach his knees.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry! Sister Lan, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry......"

Fan Tianjiu scratched his head and smiled, and reached out to help Ji Xuelan up from the ground.

"Huh! idiot......"

Ji Xuelan pulled Fan Tianjiu's arm unhappily and stood up, and then rubbed her slender arm with her hand, while frowning at Fan Tianjiu beside her, and said in disbelief:

“...... Really, why is your arm so strong, like an iron hoop, I struggled with all my strength and couldn't move. ”

"Haha, I'm sorry, Sister Lan, I was in a hurry just now, and I was indeed a little rude......"

Fan Tianjiu laughed, then picked up his palm and sniffed it deeply, and said intoxicatedly:

"Ah~ so fragrant......"

"What did you say?!"

Ji Xuelan frowned when she heard this, and asked rhetorically.

"Ahaha——! nothing, nothing, I mean......"

"Where is this, where am I......"

At this moment, a crying and complaining voice suddenly came from the thick fog.

Ji Xuelan and Fan Tianjiu looked back when they heard the sound, only to see that the amethyst box had turned into an amethyst coffin after it landed, and a woman in white slowly sat up from the amethyst coffin.

"Hmph, is it a lonely soul bound by Yin and Yang again?"

Seeing this, Ji Xuelan snorted coldly, took a jade step to the amethyst coffin, stretched out her slender hand and said to the woman in white in the coffin:

"Don't be afraid, girl, you're safe, come with us...... Ah——?!h

Before Ji Xuelan finished speaking, she suddenly screamed, and looked at the girl in the coffin and was stunned.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?...... I rub?!"

At this time, Fan Tianjiu came to Ji Xuelan's side and asked curiously, but he didn't expect that as soon as he glanced at the girl in the coffin, he was immediately stunned-

It turned out that Fan Tianjiu found that the appearance of the girl in white in the coffin was exactly the same as Ji Xuelan in front of him!

Although the girl in the amethyst coffin was not wearing an impermanent white dress and a black gauze crown like Ji Xuelan, both her figure and facial features were exactly the same as Ji Xuelan in front of her like a mold, no wonder Ji Xuelan was stunned.

"Why are you ...... with me? Yikes——!"

The girl in the coffin also found that Ji Xuelan in front of her was the same as herself, and just when she was surprised, she saw her phoenix eyes open, and patches of red and fire-like tattoos suddenly appeared all over her body!

"It's hot, it's hot, it's burning! Help...... Ah——!h

Before the girl's voice fell, she only heard a whirl, and a raging fire suddenly rose around the girl, and the girl was burned to ashes in an instant before she could call for help......

"Ahh......h

The change happened so suddenly that Fan Tianjiu and Ji Xuelan didn't have time to react, so they could only look up and watch the girl's ashes fly with the night breeze and gradually drift away in the night sky......

........................

Early the next morning, inside the Tomb of the Ghost King.

I saw Ji Xuelan, Fan Tianjiu, Si Bi'an and Zi Youyi gathered in Guigu Gong's thatched house, waiting for his appraisal results.

"Well, if the old man doesn't admit his mistake, this should be a miasma amethyst box......"

Guigu Gong carefully put the crystal box in his hand on the wooden table, and then looked up and explained to everyone:

“...... According to the "Artifact List", this miasma amethyst box is one of the remaining five-colored divine stones left by Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, when he used Nuwa to mend the sky, and is refined from the Ziwei Divine Stone known as the 'Emperor's Star Stone'.

This miasma amethyst box can avoid the three miasma and five poisons, and suppress all evil qi and evil spells. It is a box used by Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, to collect the treasures of the Dragon Palace.

It is said that the things that are placed in this box, whether they are people or things, will always remain in the same state as when they were first put in, and will not decay or decay. ”

"Oh, so this thing works like a refrigerator?"

Fan Tianjiu looked at the amethyst box when he heard this, and interjected curiously.

"Hehe, this miasma amethyst box is an artifact, how can it be compared to a refrigerator......"

Zi Youyi smiled at Fan Tianjiu, then turned to Ji Xuelan and asked:

"By the way, Arashiko, you just said that the ghost dealer put a girl ghost in this amethyst box, what kind of girl is that?"

"This ......"

Hearing Zi Youyi's question, Ji Xuelan was stunned for a moment, and instinctively turned her head to glance at Fan Tianjiu and Si Bi'an, and found that they were also looking at herself, so Ji Xuelan felt even more uncomfortable.

"It's just an ordinary girl......"

After hesitating again and again, Ji Xuelan still didn't tell her about last night's events.

"It's strange that such a valuable artifact is just to transport the ghost of an ordinary girl, it's a bit unreasonable......"

Guigu Gongyan frowned when he heard this.

Immediately afterwards, everyone fell into deep thought, and the whole cottage fell into a strange silence.

"By the way, Mr. Yuyi, there's another strange thing, that's Lan ...... Ahh

After a while, Si Bi'an suddenly broke the silence and asked, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was secretly pinched by Fan Tianjiu, and then he realized that he almost missed his mouth, so he quickly changed his words:

"Yes...... As soon as the girl came out of the box, a fiery red, tattoo-like scar suddenly appeared all over her body.

And then the scars suddenly burst into flames, and the girl was burned alive, what was going on?"

"Oh, that's a good explanation, the girl must have been cast some kind of fire spell with the purpose of killing people...... You're right, Ghost Valley Sensei?"

Zi Youyi turned his head to Guigu Gong and asked.

"Well, it should be, and as the old man expected, the girl should have been under the spell before she was put into this amethyst box.

When she was in the box, because the divine power of the miasma amethyst box suppressed the curse, the girl was unharmed, but once the girl left the god box, the divine power disappeared, and the girl's victimization was inevitable......"

"Huh, so I killed that girl?!"

Fan Tianjiu was shocked when he heard this.

"You don't have to blame yourself, no one expected this to happen......"

Ji Xuelan comforted Fan Tianjiu, then lowered her head and pondered for a while, and said:

"Guigu-sensei, I think it's ......"

"Brother Jiu——! Brother An——!"

Before Ji Xuelan's words were finished, with a loud shout, I saw a handsome little boy running into the thatched house.

"Huh?!It's Xiucai——!"

Fan Tianjiu was overjoyed when he saw that it was Xiucai who had not been seen for a long time, and he turned around and went out with Si Bi'an.

"Haha——! stinky boy! I haven't seen you for so long!

Fan Tianjiu punched Xiucai's shoulder and laughed.

"Wronged...... Brother Jiu, I've been in school, it's you and Brother An who have been seeing each other all day long, I can't see you even if I want to......"

Xiucai frowned, frowning as he said wrongfully.

"That's right, Brother Jiu, speaking of which, we've been busy with cases lately, and we haven't taken classes seriously at school at all......"

Si Bi'an accosted him when he heard this.

"This classmate, is there anything wrong with you?"

At this moment, Ji Xuelan walked out of the thatched house and asked Xiucai.

"Report to Teacher Xuelan, Teacher Xiaojuan asked me to gather all the first-grade students, and then go with her to collect medicine under the Zhihui Cliff!"

Xiucai replied politely when he heard this.

"Oh, got it, go ahead......"

Hearing this, Ji Xuelan nodded at them, turned around and went back to the thatched house.

"Haha——! Xiucai! Anzi, we haven't seen each other for a long time! Let's get together today!"

Fan Tianjiu laughed, stretched out his arms and grabbed Si Bi'an and Xiucai's shoulders, and left the thatched house with great interest.

"Alas, they're all so old, how can they still be like helping bear children, men are really animals that never grow up......"

Looking at Fan Tianjiu and the three of them who left outside the window, Ji Xuelan in the house sighed, turned her head and asked Guigu Gong:

"Teacher Guigu, how is the ghost dealer who was escorted back last night?

"Alas...... No, the ghost dealer was the most stubborn prisoner I had ever seen, and the old man interrogated him all night without opening his mouth, and finally the brigade committee came, and he said that he had a way to get the ghost dealer to confess, so the old man handed over the prisoner to the brigade committee and took him away. ”

"Well, that's fine......"

Ji Xuelan nodded when she heard this, and then instructed him:

"Teacher Guigu, please check this box and that flute carefully, and see if there are any clues about the big-bellied fairy, Sister Youyi and I will leave first......"

"Okay, don't worry......"

After speaking, Guigu Gong took the miasma amethyst box and the Lingyin Magpie Flute back to the inner room, and Ji Xuelan and Zi Youyi left Guigu Gong's thatched house together.

When the sun was in the sky, Ji Xuelan and Zi Youyi walked side by side on the path between the flowers on the other side, Ji Xuelan was silent, as if she was thinking about something.

"Arashiko, why don't you talk all the time?

Zi Youyi looked at the silent Ji Xuelan and asked.

"Sister Youyi, can I ask you for a favor?"

After being silent for a long time, Ji Xuelan suddenly spoke.

"Hee-hee, Lanzi, the two of us are like sisters, just say anything directly......"

Zi Youyi smiled.

Hearing Zi Youyi say this, Ji Xuelan suddenly stopped, looked at Zi Youyi and frowned, and said solemnly:

"Sister Youyi, can you help hook my soul out?"

Hearing this, Zi Youyi suddenly jumped into an eyebrow, and exclaimed:

"What do you say——?!"
