Red City, on the edge of Xihua Street, in a lonely street.

At night.

Several figures dressed in dark brocade clothes passed quickly under the cover of night.

In the blink of an eye, a few figures had disappeared.

At the end of the street, in a nondescript inn.

"Lord Xu, Hongcheng always arrests Zhang Ying and has something important to report."

In the secret room, Qi Feng, who had been in contact with Xu Yu, lowered his head and spoke to a middle-aged burly man.

Hearing Qi Feng's words, the burly middle-aged man who Qi Feng called Lord Xu turned around, revealing a faint coercion on his body, "Hongcheng Chief Arrest, how did he get involved?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qi Feng to speak, he continued: "I heard that Bai Gu committed a crime in the Nanhua neighborhood last night, and he hasn't succeeded yet?" ”

"Exactly." Qi Feng nodded.

There was some desire on his face to speak.

After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he continued: "The head of Hongcheng arrested Zhang Ying, and he is a casual cultivator who is acquainted with his subordinates. The thing he wants to report is about the case of last night's white bones. ”

"Bring him here."

After a moment of silence, the burly middle-aged man spoke.

Soon.

Zhang Ying followed Taohong and Qi Feng to the secret room.

At a glance, in addition to Qi Feng and Taohong, there were ten other people who were also dressed in dark brocade clothes, and their cultivation was all in the psychic realm.

And surrounded by ten people, it was a middle-aged man.

The realm of his body, Zhang Ying can't see through it.

I only felt a thick coercion, permeating the secret room.

"This is Lord Xu Lin, the demon suppressor of the Demon Suppression Division, you can tell him directly if you have any information."

Qi Feng looked at Zhang Ying and introduced him to the burly middle-aged man.

"I've seen Lord Xu." Zhang Ying saluted.

The heart is a rin, a demon suppressor.

This is a stronger existence than the Demon Slayer in the Demon Slayer Division.

"Tell me about last night's case." Xu Lin's face was serious.

The case of the White Bone Demon, since it started in the Red City, has been going on for several days, and it has already set off a monstrous wave of Dayan.

The Demon Suppression Division is even more under pressure.

And this case was taken over by him, but he failed to kill the mastermind behind the white bone demon.

If the case can't be solved, I'm afraid that the Demon Suppression Division will send another strong person to take over the case.

For Xu Lin, this is absolutely intolerable and a huge loss.

Because their team is time-consuming and laborious, and they can't kill demons, they have no gain, and if they don't gain anything, they won't have a spirit stone reward, and they won't have the opportunity to enter the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of the Demon Suppression Division to practice.

Zhang Ying took a deep breath.

"The person the White Bone Demon wanted to kill last night was a friend of Zhang. He was a scholar who went to Hongcheng to take the exam, and he was also a casual cultivator. ”

"Because of the cultivation in the body, the white bone demon failed to succeed in committing the crime. My friend sensed an aura from the White Bone Demon, which was very similar to the aura on the current popular head brand of the Flower Workshop. ”

"Fisherman's Red Sleeves?"

After Zhang Ying finished speaking, one of the demon slaying envoys in the secret room asked suspiciously.

Xu Lin glanced at the other party lightly.

"Yes." Zhang Ying nodded and continued: "He had felt that breath in the sound of the fisherman's red sleeve, and I believe he would not be mistaken. ”

"So, the fishing red sleeves may be an important clue, or even a ......"

As he spoke, Zhang Ying's eyes shone brightly.

It's a big case.

If he can solve the case, he will be greatly credited with providing clues.

"Even Yu Hongsleeve may be the mastermind behind the White Bone Demon Evil Case." Xu Lin drank lightly.

"Qi Feng, pink. The three of you are secretly protecting the scholar from last night. Others secretly supervise the fishing red sleeves of the flower shop, and if there is any movement, they will summon me at any time. ”

"My lord......" The demon slayer who spoke before walked out, and stopped talking.

Xu Lin looked at him.

He continued: "My subordinates have been paying attention to the Flower Workshop, and Yu Hongsleeve has not appeared in the Flower Workshop since last night. ”

"What?!" Xu Lin turned around suddenly.

"The crime failed last night, and Yu Hongsleeve is very likely to have been hit hard, so he should be hiding at this moment."

Qi Feng also felt that the mastermind behind the White Bone Demon was Yu Hongsleeves at this time, and he spoke.

"It's a pity that I missed the opportunity......" Xu Lin muttered.

"No, sir." Zhang Ying stood up at the right time.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he remained calm and said, "Although I don't know why the White Bone Demon frequently fights the exam. But I think the day of the township test is likely to be the best time for the White Bone Demon to commit crimes. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

The case of the White Bone Demon has been a vivid hand on the examination book from beginning to end.

The township examination lasted for nine days and six nights, and scholars from many towns and townships gathered in the Gongyuan to take the exam.

The mastermind behind the White Bone Demon really has such a big courage to dare to do it at this time?

Everyone was shocked by Zhang Ying's words.

"The fisherman red sleeves are missing, and the clue is broken again. Then secretly supervise the Gongyuan in the Xihua block, if it still doesn't appear...... Let's go back to the Demon Suppression Division. ”

Xu Lin was helpless.

I can only give an order like this, and wait for the rabbit.

Ruyi Building.

Xu Yu came back from the Gongyuan in Xihua Block.

After lighting the [Mortal Condensing Incense] obtained by signing in, Xu Yu suddenly felt energetic and refreshed.

At the same time, the contents of the books that I had read and memorized before flashed in my mind.

Exceptionally clear.

The content of "Qi Practice" that I got from Zhang Ying not long ago is also deeply engraved in my heart.

"Is this condensing incense so strong, it's really a good thing."

Tomorrow is the day of the township test, and in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Xu Yu still lit the [Fan Condensing Incense].

Although he has already stepped into the path of cultivation, he no longer attaches great importance to fame and fortune after the imperial examination.

However, the cold window has been studying hard for more than ten years.

And his sister-in-law has worked hard to take care of himself for three years, and if he doesn't get some fame, he feels ashamed of his sister-in-law in his heart.

is also ashamed of his parents and brothers who raised him.

Furthermore.

Now that I have just entered the cultivation path, I can't bring wealth in a short time, and at present, I can only make my life better by gaining fame through the imperial examination.

"I won't practice today, just rest well and prepare for the exam."

……

Following.

Before dawn, the Red City was lively.

Everywhere in the Red City, the scholars who went to the examination went to the Gongyuan in the Xihua Block.

On the way, they are also friends and relatives of those who go to take the exam.

The Gongyuan in Xihua Block is even more crowded and unspeakably blocked.

The government personnel blocked the water around the Gongyuan and strictly checked the materials and information of the students who entered the examination.

As for those who accompanied them to the examination, they were all blocked from the Gongyuan.

"Huh? Is it them? ”

In the team, Xu Yu inadvertently saw three familiar figures in the crowd.

It was Qi Feng, Taohong and Zhang Ying.

It's just that the three of them didn't see him.

"I've already told Zhang Ying the news of the fishing red sleeves, why are they still here?" Xu Yu was puzzled.

Soon.

The queue lined up to Xu Yu.

Ignoring the three of them, Xu Yu submitted the materials and information, and after passing the review, he entered the Tribute Academy.
