Descending from the city tower, Tie Lingshuang carefully looked at the left and right of the city gate, not even letting go of a stone, while constantly beating, while concentrating, listening to the bone bird on his waist from time to time, his brows furrowed tightly.

Through the gloomy and dim, came to the city gate, looked up at the crane mountain that seemed to be a big gray goose in the distance under the sunset, and remembered the crane-shaped stone carving, is it really a crane demon?

Glancing at the stone carving at the gate of the crane, it seems that it is learned from the Qilin Gate, on the right side of the city gate, there is a three-foot-high stone platform, on which the bronze sculpture is three cranes, yellow, flashing a touch of purple.

A copper crane seemed to be bowing its head to get water, and the one next to it was tilting its head to the sky, making the other one flutter its wings and want to fly.

There was another jingling sound in his waist, and Tie Lingshuang was irritable with a little smoked ball,

"Bone, sleep, feel it right next to me and knock again. ”

Listening to a shallow low whistle in the smoked ball, it seemed to be a light hum, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the iron spear stretched out, and he gently knocked a few copper cranes, and the hollow knock sound seemed to be hollow.

Shaking his head, the hollow copper crane does not have the slightest aura, but the demonic aura near the crane gate is faint, but it does have the feeling of being wrapped around the body and slightly stagnant.

The aura of heaven and earth is thin, the body of monsters, devouring aura, and as for the aura in the body is majestic like a sea, a little bit of emanation, like a breeze blowing on the face, and more, just like the sultry stagnation before the heavy rain is coming, if it has a rare heat or cold, it is a demon.

The breath felt around him was slightly stagnant, and a little manic, which was a sign that the monster was enchanted, and it seemed that the other drop of essence blood was probably on the people nearby.

Looking up at the city gate, the three bluestone characters of "Xianhe Gate" are very different from the square face of the Qilin Gate, peaceful and natural, handsome and beautiful, such as flowing clouds and water, full of fairy spirit, quite the charm of the king right army.

It is said that this stone is moved from a huge stone that seems to be a crane on the top of the middle peak of the crane mountain opposite, cut into a square, and look for calligraphy to imitate Wang Xi's book carved out.

The three words of the pen walk the dragon and snake, in one go, the word "fairy" is elegant and smart, and the word "crane" is really like a crane spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.

Just as he nodded in appreciation, a figure rushed out of the city gate and swept to Tie Lingshuang's side, it was Qi Chen, I saw him staring at him with tiger eyes, holding the hilt of his sword tightly, scanning the surroundings, and said in a low and hurried voice,

"There are marks, on the soles of the feet. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tie Lingshuang turn over and get up, and flew straight up to the city tower.

The smell of wine and feet in the room was mixed, and the smoke made people's eyes sour, Tie Lingshuang didn't notice it at all, Cheng Kaishan slept arrogantly, only wearing an underwear on his body, and with the sound of snoring, his fat body trembled.

Kicking away Qin Fusu, who was squatting at the end of the bed and staring at the two stinky feet, Tie Lingshuang looked down.

A delicate feather, delicate, red like blood, on the Yongquan point in the middle of the right foot, the size of a small fingernail, like a cinnabar mole, but unfortunately at the feet of this stinky man.

Qin Fusu, who got up and stood aside, watched Tie Lingshuang staring at the red mark, a chill flashing in his eyes, took two steps forward, and asked softly,

"That's what you're looking for, a little mark?"

Without paying attention to Qin Fusu, who looked confused, the cold light flashed in Tie Lingshuang's eyes, and his words and actions could be monitored through this red mark, but relying on this person to track down the jade holder was currently the only way.

Qi Chen rushed in from outside, walked to Tie Lingshuang's side, and asked in a low voice,

"What should I do? Do you want to bring a bucket of water to wake him up?"

Looking at Cheng Kaishan, who was snoring incessantly on the bed, Tie Lingshuang thought for a moment, nodded, and said coldly to Qin Fusu,

"Go out and get a bucket of cold water. ”

Qi Chen grinned at Qin Fusu and hesitated for a moment, walked out of the door, glanced at the spear in Tie Lingshuang's hand, pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but ask cautiously,

"The deceased?"

The stars are changing, the heavens and the earth are changing, the little boy's family has become a Yongle courtier, his sister's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are unknown, and he is not an ignorant naughty boy.

Like drinking cold water, Qi Chen looked at Tie Lingshuang slightly sideways, the corners of his mouth raised a dangerous arc, and the two cold lights were like swords, and he was about to make a move.

"Qi Da caught his head, got the "Dizang Sutra", and thought that his martial arts had risen sharply, and he talked more. ”

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, uh, by the way, this person has a mark on his body, does it mean that there must be a monster nearby?"

Snorted coldly, watching him slowly retreat to seven feet away, Tie Lingshuang turned his head to look at the jade slave mark at the bottom of Cheng Kaishan's feet, the person is still alive The mark is still there, the monster will definitely come, catch the monster, and the person with the jade sword will also show traces like last time.

A bucket of cold water covered his head and poured down, Zheng Sanguan shouted, sat up, looked at a few vague figures in front of him, wiped the cold water on his face fiercely, looked left and right with his fat face, and caught a glimpse of Qin Fusu carrying a wooden bucket in his hand, turned over and got up, pointed at him and scolded,

"Okay, you Qin Fusu, the old man of your family who saw the wind and steered the rudder, and then he dotted you up and down before he stuffed you under me as a lieutenant, you have only been here for a few fucking days, and you dare to pour water on Lao Tzu's head!"

Seeing that Qin Fusu lowered his head and was silent, he wanted to scold again, and there was an extra spear on his neck, which was cold and heavy.

Glancing at the gun head on his neck nonchalantly, Cheng Kaishan turned to look at Tie Lingshuang, his eyes were open, and when he saw the two scars, his eyes lit up, and he sneered,

"It turned out to be you, the daughter of Iron Bone. ”

The spear pressed down suddenly, Cheng Kaishan's eyes kicked, and he was about to resist the huge force on his shoulder, but unfortunately he was no longer heroic in the past, he knelt on the ground with a bang, his knees were bleeding for a long time, he struggled to stand up his fat waist, looked up at Tie Lingshuang, and roared,

"Don't think that someone is covered, as if you are unscrupulous, a traitor is a traitor after all. ”

Horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, forced back Qin Fusu, who wanted to come forward, stared at Cheng Kaishan, who was fat and had rampant eyes, pointed to the bronze medal on his waist, looked at him and stared at him, and said in a cold voice,

"Zhu Di will not frown when he kills a drunken goalkeeper, Cheng Kaishan, you are dead. ”

According to the regulations in the army, the person on duty is drunk, leaves the post, escapes, and can be killed on the spot.

Cheng Kaishan gradually sobered up, remembering that the emperor of this dynasty was extremely strict in governing the army, although he was an old subordinate, he was just a janitor, and he didn't need to hesitate to think about it.

Seeing that his face was blue and red, Tie Lingshuang smiled coldly,

"I, traitor, have something to ask you before you die. Who carved the mark on your feet?"

The boss whose eyes suddenly stared flashed twice, then settled down, raised his hand to pull away the iron gun, stood up on the edge of the bed, looked at Tie Lingshuang contemptuously, and pulled the corners of his mouth,

"If the emperor wants to kill me, then I deserve to die, and it has nothing to do with you, a traitor. ”

He didn't put on his armor, but turned around and walked out, and the scolding sounded outside the door,

"It's all a bunch of fucking shit, I'm being put to the neck with a gun in it, are you all deaf?"

Listening to the sound of crackling outside the door, the slap was loud, Tie Lingshuang looked at Qin Fusu, who was still bowing his head, and said lightly,

"Xuejiao thrush is returned to the Tie family, your marriage with my sister is over, and you will be used in the army, with your kung fu, still use it under this kind of waste?"

After that, the iron gun was shocked, his eyes were cold and cold, and if it was hard, it would be harder, and he would go out if he raised his legs.

"Ahh

There was a terrible shout outside, and there were two soft sounds of smoke balls on his waist, and Tie Lingshuang rushed out on tiptoes, followed by Qi Chen and Na Qin Fusu.

The rampant fat man lay on the big stone slab on the city wall, trembling all over, his fat body trembling, his teeth clenched, his throat creaking,

"Stand back, be on guard!"

Seeing Tie Lingshuang rushing up to check on Cheng Kaishan, who was trembling on the ground, and Qin Fusu, who rushed out from behind, shouted, all the guards were stunned, but when they heard the shouting of the deputy general with excellent martial arts, they hurriedly gathered together, in a group of five, with spears outside, on guard.

Leaned down and looked at Cheng Kaishan, who was stiff and shaking, only to see that his face was pale, his eyes were wide, Tie Lingshuang reached out and touched his neck, his pulse was as fast as a horse's hooves, but he was vague and excited, and gradually became low, a dying person.

"His hand!"

Behind him, Qi Chen ran over quickly, and reminded him loudly, Tie Lingshuang looked down and saw Cheng Kaishan's arms stiff and then to his side, his hands clenched, only the index finger of his right hand stretched out, pointing at his calf.

Cheng Kaishan, who came out barefoot, tightened his toes, and was also stiff and trembling, and the two of them hurriedly flashed to the soles of his feet, and couldn't help but stare at him in unison.

The original red feather imprint has now turned into a black ash, the same as the previous two times, and along the imprint, the charred black lines are hidden under the skin.

Seeing that his toes twitched more and more slowly, Tie Lingshuang shouted at Cheng Kaishan,

"Who was it? Who was it just now?"

Cheng Kaishan's face was pale and gray, he kept shaking, his throat clicked, he roared suddenly, his eyes flashed, and a hoarse voice came,

"And, and,"

And with whom? frowned, Tie Lingshuang didn't know why, looking at his breath about to stop,

"Who carved the mark on you?"

The breath gradually increased, but there was no breath, Cheng Kaishan's clenched fist knocked the stone face twice, and his voice gradually lowered,

"Flowers, birds, fish, fish, forehead"

With a long breath of air, Cheng Kaishan's face was pale and gray, his eyes were stagnant, his whole body trembled slightly, and he lost his breath.

Standing up, Tie Lingshuang's spear trembled, and he glanced around, the sky was dark, everything was silent, there were torches flashing on the city gate, and it was dark outside the city, and he turned to look at the groups of soldiers with guns on guard, with panic in his eyes, and asked in a cold voice,

"What just happened? Who saw that?"

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Qin Fusu pointed to the guard with a swollen cheek and a red slap mark on the right side of his face,

"Li Yishan, you say. ”

The soldier straightened up, paused his spear, looked at Qin Fusu, and returned loudly,

The subordinate saw nothing, and the general just slapped the subordinate once, and then fell to the ground with a scream. ”

After saying that, he bowed down and stood on guard.

stepped forward, looked at Cheng Kaishan who was staring blankly at the dark sky, sighed, bowed and saluted, straightened up to look at Tie Lingshuang, who was constantly glancing, and asked in a low voice,

"What's the situation? I've checked your waist card, and there's no one like you in the brocade guard, what are you checking?"

Tie Lingshuang stared at the scorched black mark at the bottom of Cheng Kaishan's feet, the spear lit the stone slab, clanged, and looked down at the stone surface under his feet.

Looking at the double swords out of the sheath, Qi Chen, who was on guard everywhere, motioned for him to step aside, and the spear kept hitting the surrounding stone faces, and the sound was the same, there was no difference.

The waist kept ringing softly, the demonic aura had not dissipated, the jade slave was dead, it was certain that there was a demon, but where was the demon?

The more I knocked, the more upset I became, and finally found a jade slave, who died in a blink of an eye, depending on the situation, it was caused by the sucking of that drop of essence blood.

And what?flowers, birds, fish, flowers, birds, fish, insects?

In the afternoon, the flowers, birds, insects and fish on the first couplet were cut off, and there was a flower, bird, fish and insect shop opposite, plus there were antique flowers and birds and the like in other shops, and the entire street of Confucius Temple could be called the flower, bird, fish and insect market.

"How's it going? ”

Qi Chen asked softly, Tie Lingshuang looked up at the sky, there were no obvious traces of dark clouds, and the entire Immortal Crane Gate was demolished.

"No, we should have run, it's getting dark, let's go back, take the big yellow dog, come and smell it." Then go to the Confucius Temple and check all the flowers, birds, fish and insects shops. ”

turned around and was about to walk away, thinking of something, looking at Qin Fusu, pointing to Cheng Kaishan on the ground and asking,

"When was this person transferred to the Crane Gate?"

After a little thought, Qin Fusu immediately returned,

"The early years of Yongle began. ”

"The guards of the gates of the inner and outer cities, as short as one year or as long as three years, must be replaced, how can he only guard one gate for ten years?"

"Ling Shuang, you can go to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to retrieve the files, it is true. ”

Nodding, Tie Lingshuang said softly,

"Today's incident, don't mention it to anyone, someone will come to warn you, Cheng Kaishan is dead, you can report it to the top, and pay attention to vigilance. ”

Watching the two turn around and walk away, Qin Fusu's eyes flickered for a long time, raised his hand to summon a scholar, and ordered in a low voice, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and he ran towards the inner city.

After thinking about it, he summoned two more, one towards the Qilin Gate and the other towards the Yaofang Gate on the other side, to inform the guards over there.

Looking at Cheng Kaishan, who was lying on the stone and dying in an instant, he sighed, and the thrush of the snow Jiao in his hand suddenly paused, looking at everyone,

"Keep on guard. ”

"Yes!"
