Zhang Ji picked up a talisman with a peachwood sword, held it with one hand, and the peachwood sword pulled out half a sword flower in the air, and then the tip of the sword nailed the talisman to the lizard-handed monster.

The monster just screamed and glared at Zhang Ji, he struggled with his hands and feet, but his wrists and ankles were trapped by shackles, so he couldn't attack Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji sighed, turned around and asked Ji Jingyang, "Master Ji, is this chain strong?" If it breaks free from the chains when I cast the spell, won't I die unjustly? ”

Ji Jingyang said seriously: "Don't worry, this is the Xuantie iron chain of the felons of the Tianlong Guard's martial arts, and the Daluo Immortal can't break it." ”

Ji Cunyan sat on the side and nibbled on an apple. She said to Zhang Ji: "You look like a magic stick. ”

Zhang Ji said: "I've tried all kinds of talismans!" It's not a demon, it's not a demon, it's not a ghost, it's not even a fairy. In the end, there was only one answer left. ”

"What? A Taoist priest who went mad? Ji Cunyan's apple is finished. She jumped off the ledge on one side.

"Phew! What a mad Taoist priest! That's the person. Zhang Ji said.

"How can an ordinary person have such a strange hand?" Ji Cun said.

Zhang Ji said: "I have a way to test whether he is a person or not. ”

Zhang Ji removed the altar, placed an incense burner on top of the monster's head, and lit three incense sticks.

He said to Ji Jingyang and Ji Cun: "This is a kind of soul conjuring technique, I used my mana to force this monster's three souls and seven spirits out of the body, and then trapped it with incense. Once the soul leaves the body, the smoke will sway from side to side. The soul should not be separated from the body for more than one stick of incense, otherwise the soul will be scattered, and the person will become a living dead. If the smoke of these three incense sticks turns blue, it means that its soul is a demon. Black is magic. White smoke is just ordinary people. ”

After he finished explaining, he used a few yellow talismans to seal the other big holes on the monster's body, and then rang the bell while chanting the mantra, but the three incense smoke were far away, and there seemed to be no change.

Zhang Ji repeatedly tried left and right on the monster with a copper bell, and the three incense cigarettes didn't give him much face.

Ji Cunyan said: "Zhang Ji, you really look like a god stick like this...... You don't work at all. ”

Ji Jingyang sighed.

Zhang Ji frowned and said: "No, this spell can be cast by asking Mi Apo, and you don't need any advanced Taoism." Why can't you get to me? ”

Ji Jingyang asked Zhang Ji: "How many times have you cast this kind of spell?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "Oh, today is the first time. ”

Ji Jingyang helplessly helped his forehead.

Zhang Ji shook his head and said, "What went wrong?" ”

Ji Cunyan said: "Alas, we have been studying this monster here for an hour. At the end of the day, I couldn't figure out anything. He's not going to withhold our money, is he? ”

Ji Jingyang glanced at his sister.

Zhang Ji walked to the top of the monster's head, brushed away its withered hair, and suddenly said, "Ah! I see! ”

"What? What is it? Ji Cunyan leaned over and looked, "Huh? What is it? ”

Ji Jingyang heard the surprise in his sister's tone, so he followed. With Zhang Ji's hand, he looked at the scalp on the top of the monster's head, but saw a copper nail cap the thickness of a little finger was firmly attached to the scalp of the fontanelle above the monster's head.

"It's a soul crusher. Nail it to people's Baihui points to prevent the soul from going out of the body. Ji Jingyang said.

Zhang Ji looked at him with Ji Yanyan.

Ji Jingyang continued: "This copper nail should be one finger long, inserted from the crack of the Baihui acupoint, and the only way out of the soul is sealed. ”

With that, he took out a torture weapon in the shape of iron tongs from the side, grabbed the top hat of the copper nail, and forcefully pulled the copper nail out of the monster's head.

Ji Cunyan watched the copper nail leave the monster's scalp inch by inch, and saw that goosebumps all over her body rose.

When the brass nail was out of its body, the monster screamed "ahhh However, his eyes regained clarity, and he seemed to be more like a person than the fierce god of Fang Cai. This copper nail seemed to suppress his original consciousness in addition to sealing its three souls and seven spirits.

He struggled to break free from the chains, babbling as if he had something to say.

Ji Jingyang dropped the iron tongs and copper nails, walked up to him, and listened attentively.

Ji Cunyan said: "Third brother! Be careful! You're so close, what if it bites your ear off? ”

Ji Jingyang didn't listen to his sister's advice. He lowered his head a few more inches and pressed his ear to the monster's mouth.

Instead, a hand suddenly pressed his shoulder and pulled him back.

Luo Sinan said: "You are so close, what if this thing bites off your ear?" ”

Ji Jingyang said: "He has something to say. ”

Luo Sinan frowned and looked at the monster. The monster's face was no different from that of an ordinary person, and his expression was frightened and eager at this time, not as vicious as before, but more like a human. His mouth opened and closed rhythmically, as if he were really speaking.

Luo Sinan squinted at the monster for a long time before saying, "It's useless." His tongue had been cut out, and he couldn't speak. ”

Ji Jingyang's pupils shrank, and he also leaned in to take a look.

There was indeed no tongue in the empty mouth of the monster, only a red stump, which vibrated helplessly in the mouth.

Ji Cunyan pointed at the monster and said, "So...... Is it really personal? ”

"But when people's hands become like this, are they also demonized?" Luo Sinan asked.

Zhang Ji shook his head. Although he couldn't say anything, he didn't quite agree with Luo Sinan's statement.

The four of them came out of the cell where the monster was locked, and Luo Sinan's cronies came over to him and said, "Lord Luo, all the masters of the martial arts of the major martial arts sects in the whole sect have gathered in the training ground. ”

Luo Sinan nodded. He turned back to Ji Jingyang and said, "I just subdued this thing, and I noticed that his internal strength is quite deep, and his martial arts are also very strong. It's not like some kind of ghost method, it's really a skill that only serious martial arts people have. ”

Ji Jingyang said: "Indeed. This person's martial arts are strong, far above me and Jian Shaolin. ”

Ji Cunyan said: "Speaking of which, Brother Luo, I only learned today that your martial arts are so strong, you are simply invincible in the world!" ”

Luo Sinan smiled slightly: "Walking in front of the emperor, there is an important position in Tianlongwei, and you naturally can't slack off in martial arts." In fact, by His Majesty's side, I am not the number one master. ”

Ji Cunyan said: "Three or two clicks can solve the master that my third brother and Jian Shaolin can't beat together, so it's not the first master?" ”

Luo Sinan said: "That's because your third brother and Jian Shaolin were both injured." He looked at Ji Jingyang again and said, "You have fought with that thing several times, you should have a little impression of his martial arts moves, right?" ”

Ji Jingyang nodded.

Luo Sinan said again: "I have the top masters of the martial arts sect here, you have tried them one by one for me." Let's see if we can deduce where this thing came from. ”

Ji Jingyang said: "Yes." ”

Luo Sinan said to Zhang Ji again: "Little Zhang Tianshi, do you still have a way to investigate the origin of that thing?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "I don't have a clue yet, but there should be a way." ”

Luo Sinan said: "Then you can take Miss Xiao Ji to find out elsewhere!" ”

Zhang Ji pointed at Ji Cunyan and said, "Take her?" ”

Ji Cunyan frowned and said, "What's wrong with me?" My martial arts are higher than yours, I know more places than you, and I know more people than you. ”

Zhang Ji sighed: "Let's make it clear first, you are not allowed to hold me back." ”

"You're holding me back! I perform light skills, and you can't catch up. ”

While arguing, the two left Tianlongwei together.

After the two of them walked away, Luo Sinan said to Ji Jingyang: "This little Zhang Tianshi looks a year or two older than your sister. There is no hair on the mouth, but can you still do things reliably? ”

Ji Jingyang said: "Little Zhang Tianshi is the descendant of Zhang Daoling Tianshi, and his ability will not be small. No matter how bad it is, it is also a well-informed person who has traveled all over the country, and he can always help if he stays. ”

When Jian Shaolin returned to the house, it was already dawn.

His father, Jian Wanchuan, the chief of the Qintian Prison, was already waiting for him at the patio.

Jian Shaolin frowned and looked at Jian Wanchuan, but he didn't speak, just waiting for his father to speak first.

Jian Wanchuan said: "You went out for a night, just to arrest people for Xuanjing Hall?" ”

Jian Shaolin said: "The responsibility is. ”

Jian Wanchuan frowned and looked at Jian Shaolin, and said with a look of hatred that iron could not become steel: "Xuanjing Hall only has the support of Tianlongwei, what do you want to do to join in the fun?" You see that you worked all night in vain, and the final credit was not snatched away by Tianlongwei? ”

Jian Shaolin sighed and said, "The capital where the crime occurred is the jurisdiction of Qin Tianjian. How can you sit idly by and watch the things that are within your bounds? Regardless of whether we have merit or not, what we should do must be done well. ”

Jian Wanchuan looked at his son helplessly and said, "How did I give birth to a son like you?" No matter how good your errand is, does Your Majesty know? Do the people of the capital know? In the end, the reputation of subduing demons and eliminating demons is also from Xuanjingtang, and His Majesty's commendation is also for Xuanjingtang. In that case, don't wade into troubled waters. Alas...... You kid, the older you get, the more disobedient you become. ”

Neither father nor son could listen to anyone, so that's all for this talk.

Jian Shaolin knew that Qin Tianjian's status was not as good as before, and that Xuanjing Hall was just a small yamen, just because of the big backer of Tianlongwei, it has been growing and growing in the past ten years, and gradually has the posture of going to Qin Tianjian to replace it.

If he wanted to revive Qin Tianjian, Jian Shaolin disagreed with his father's opportunistic methods.

If this monster stealing case can be successfully detected this time, it will not only be able to subdue demons and eliminate demons and ensure the safety of one party, but also prove the strength of Qin Tianjian.

He pulled out the portrait of the lizard hand from his bosom and spread it out on the table. In addition to the reliable one he painted, he grabbed it casually and caught Ji Cunyan's very unreliable one.

Looking at the little chicken feet painted by Ji Cunyan, Jian Shaolin couldn't help but smile slightly.

With this smile, he remembered that his shoulder hurt a little. Last night, when he was fighting the lizardhand monster, he was injured for Ji Cunyan, and was rescued by Ji Cunyan. If you think about it carefully, I have a lot of fate with this little girl, and you have come and gone several times. Although she is a secret agent of the Xuanjing Hall, she is much more cute and kind than other secret agents. Maybe it's because the family protects her well.

Thinking of this, Jian Shaolin opened the door and called the old housekeeper and asked him to help him clean up the wound.

When the old housekeeper learned that the young master was injured, he hurriedly fetched a basin of water and came in with a medicine box. He put his things down and saw the portrait of the lizard hand on Jian Shaolin's table.

Jian Shaolin saw that the housekeeper's expression was different, and asked, "Tao Bo, what's wrong?" ”

The old butler said, "The claws of the beast on this painting...... It's familiar. ”

Jian Shaolin hurriedly asked, "Have you seen this kind of beast claw anywhere?" ”

The old housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Probably a few decades ago, a monster that specializes in catching children suddenly appeared in the capital. At that time, it caused panic in people, but it frightened many people. Later, the forbidden army was used in the palace, and the monster was caught in the east of the city, and it was hacked to death. The body was hung outside the city gate and exposed to the sun for seven days and seven nights, and many people went to see it at that time. It's just a person, but it has a pair of claws, which is particularly terrifying. When I was young, I followed the adults to see the excitement, and I don't remember anything else, but I remember the claws of the beast. Yes, it looks like this! ”

The old butler pointed to Jian Shaolin's portrait.
