Chapter 41: Suspicion
Xia Guifan and Huo Lexuan got out of the mysterious space, returned to the spring, and lifted the Yue Ling Three Mysterious Transformation and Possession Technique, and suddenly both of them felt physically and mentally exhausted, and went out of the well, but saw the four Chong Void Stones floating in the air, disappearing in a flash, and I don't know where they went.
The clues are broken here, but there are enough clues, although the face of the nine-tailed demon fox is not seen, it is not easy to identify the suspect at once, but the unique voice, mannerisms, demon power, and techniques of the nine-tailed demon fox Xia Guifan are remembered in his heart, and he is not afraid that he will not find it.
Of course, the sound can be camouflaged, and the reference value is not great, and the key is a few other things.
After the two of them took a break, they came to the imperial study, planning to let Emperor Xia call all his concubines and palace maids over, check their manners one by one, whether they have demonic power, and if they are cultivators, let them perform their techniques, of course, the meeting place will not be the imperial study, but Nantian Square.
……
In the mysterious space, the nine-tailed fox had woken up the two little fox demons, and the fox demon that left only the remnant soul was placed in a container by her.
Standing at the heart of the fox demon statue, after repairing the wall, she said with a dark face: "Years of planning, almost ruined, that Terran woman is really powerful, that man also has a good ability, since they can find it once, they can find it again, the palace is afraid that it is not safe, and they have to take Chongxu Stone Henge away from the palace." ”
Just as she was thinking about where to hide the Chongxu Stone Formation, a sharper voice came from outside: "Niangniang, Your Majesty declares you to come over, please go to Nantian Square." ”
Your Majesty called me at this time? Was it discovered? No, the more this is the case, the more you have to stay calm and not let people find flaws. The nine-tailed demon fox panicked for a moment, and then immediately calmed down.
Nantian Square, people came one after another, a lot of warblers and swallows, and gradually became lively, among which there were many acquaintances who greeted each other, saluted each other in return, and the opponents scolded each other and said cruel words, which was very noisy.
In the end, three thousand beauties in the harem are just an exaggerated number, and there are actually only dozens of concubines of Emperor Xia who have entered the cold palace, and there are less than five hundred palace maids, so Emperor Xia readily agreed to summon them, if there are really as many as three thousand, I am afraid that there will be a wait.
In the field, the lord of the harem, the queen, sat on the high platform in front of the queue, she was the only one present, and the big eunuch of the red man next to the Xia Emperor stood in the center of the high platform, shook off the dust, and said in a sharp voice: "By the will of Your Majesty, please cooperate with the investigation of these two young heroes, in order to find out the demons and restore the harem to a peaceful place." ”
The queen, as the person who really controls the harem, naturally has to speak: "Your Majesty's will, the palace will naturally fully cooperate, please be calm and impatient, be patient, know everything and say everything, in order to prove your innocence." As the lord of the harem, there is still majesty, and as soon as she said this, the following suddenly fell silent.
Emperor Xia looked at it from a distance, and did not get close to this, firstly, if there is really a demon clan, Nantian Square will become a dangerous place, and the body of Emperor Xia's ninety-five supreme can not be in danger, secondly, after all, it is outsiders who do something to his wives and concubines, and he also has the intention of supervising when he looks at it, as for not approaching, it is inconvenient to meet with the people of the cold palace.
The women looked at Xia Guifan and Huo Lexuan curiously, some people unconsciously compared their beauty with Huo Lexuan, and couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, and there was a trace of hostility in their eyes when they looked at her, but some people were looking at Xia Guifan's young body in a daze, probably because they hadn't been favored by Emperor Xia for a long time, so they stared at Xia Guifan, and although Xia Guifan is now a weak scholar, the noble and extraordinary, carefree and easy temperament in his bones makes people unable to avoid it, but is deeply attracted.
The next thing is naturally the time to check one by one, of course, Xia Guifan did not physically contact these women, but was done by Huo Lexuan, an apprentice who is also a woman, and he was only responsible for questioning and looking.
Naturally, these people will not use the Ecstasy Dafa to interrogate like Sheng Zhaoyi, in the absence of any pointing clues or evidence, Xia Guifan will not and will not be allowed to use suppression and control techniques such as the Ecstasy Dafa, in case the question he asks involves the secret matter between the emperor and the concubine, then the Xia Emperor may have to kill him.
Fortunately, under his peeping eyes, he can see clearly whether these people are lying or not, of course, it is impossible to judge whether a person is a demon disguised just by whether he is lying or not, and those who cultivate to be strong can cut their own memories, or even fabricate memories to hide from the world.
But if too many memories are cut off, the brain will be abnormal, easy to go mad, and eventually die, and if it is a fox demon, then there will definitely be a large piece of memory in her mind that belongs to the fox clan, and she can't cut it.
And fabricating memories can be logically self-consistent, but with her large fox demon memory, I'm afraid she has to fabricate a lot of memories to replace the fox demon's memory, then she is not her but another person, and this fabricated memory can't be done.
Based on the above, Xia Guifan was sure that he could tell if it was the nine-tailed demon fox by his abnormal words and demeanor.
There are dozens of cultivators among the concubines and palace maids, let them show their skills, Xia Guifan did not find anything abnormal, and the behavior, actions, and words of all the five hundred people were observed one by one, and it was found that there were three people who responded abnormally, but although there were abnormalities, Xia Guifan had determined that these three people were all human races, and they were completely human races.
These three people are, the most favored concubine surnamed Kong among the concubines - Concubine Li, and the other two concubines surnamed Su and Xu, respectively called Concubine Shu and Concubine Yue, the three of them were asked if they had felt a trance recently, and their answers were not normal, Concubine Shu and Concubine Yue replied that they were not in a trance, but Xia Guifan knew through the eyes of the sky that the two of them were lying.
Concubine Li replied that there is, it is worth noting that this Concubine Li is still a person who has cultivated in her body, and her cultivation has reached the peak of the Condensation Realm.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Yue were forced by the Empress Mother and the Great Eunuch to tell the truth, and the reason why they were unwilling to tell the truth was that they were in a trance and appeared after the incident with Emperor Xia. So this counts as a woman's sage time? Xia Guifan only felt that his brain was not enough.
Everyone was embarrassed, and Emperor Xia in the distance also collapsed his face and drooped for a while.
Then the suspicion of these two people can be ruled out. The legend of the world before he crossed was that there was a nine-tailed fox named Su Daji, and he thought that all the fox demons in the world were surnamed Su, and this concubine was surnamed Su, and he thought that he would definitely be a demon clan, but it seems that otherwise, this can be regarded as inertial thinking to confuse himself.
Only this concubine is left, the most favored concubine of Emperor Xia, but she has not been named a concubine, Xia Guifan knows that her time in the palace is still relatively short, only two years, originally presented by the prince, she was not a wealthy nobleman, she is the daughter of a businessman with extraordinary financial resources, and in terms of time and origin, it also adds a suspicion.
So, Xia Guifan asked, "Dare to ask Concubine Li's full name?" ”
Concubine Li looked knowledgeable and replied: "Kong Xueyi of the palace, the little brother has any doubts, just ask." ”
Little brother, whether it's age or whatever, I'm not young, Xia Guifa complained in his heart, but said on his face: "Do you remember the memories before and after the trance?" What was being done at the time? ”
