[Chapter 26 - Night Rain Xiaoxiao, There Are Demons in the Capital]

The night is dark, and the spring rain is dashing.

Thousands of silver rain strands were entangled and falling from the nine heavens, fluttering towards the heavenly capital city where thousands of lights were lit.

Between the clouds, in the rain and mist, a desolate full moon hung high, like a miserable white pupil, quietly looking at this lonely mountain and river land.

Vientiane Shrine is like a hideous and mighty beast, prostrate on the highest north side of Tiandu City, those lights and light and shadow, in the hazy rain and fog, revealing grace and nobility.

"Qiuyang-kun, don't come unharmed, right?"

In the curtain, the middle-aged woman with the power of the world took the initiative to send out a greeting, and her figure was mysterious and hazy.

Kneeling in front of the lotus platform was a handsome young man.

He has white and delicate porcelain-like skin, exquisite facial features, and both water-like femininity and knife-sharp edge.

His lips were rosy and full, and his blood was abundant; His eyes seemed to be carved out of black jade, clear and deep, with a soul-sewitching magic.

"Hundred miles of autumn sun, meet Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven-"

The handsome man bowed respectfully to the woman in the curtain.

Queen Dugu pondered for a moment and chuckled: "I haven't seen you for half a month, has Qiuyangjun ever missed the widow?" ”

Baili Qiuyang said loudly: "The reason why my Baili Qiuyang and my sister are here today is because of Her Majesty's hand, and naturally I always care about Your Majesty!" ”

In the heavy veil, he couldn't see any expression of this diva, but listening to the voice, it seemed that she was in a good mood: "You Baili brothers and sisters are really interesting." The younger sister can only appear from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, and the older brother can only appear from the sixteenth to the end of the month. ”

Baili Qiuyang stood up straight, and arched his hand to correct: "Your Majesty, it is more accurate to say that it is the moon phase." The new moon is full moon, and it is the sister who walks in the world. The full moon is the moon and the moon, and I walk in the world in the autumn sun. ”

In the center of the lotus platform in front of her, this woman who leaned towards the government and the opposition let out a sympathetic wry smile, and then said: "Your Baili family has such a curse, but it can really be regarded as a miracle in the world!" Didn't you Baili brothers and sisters think that one day you would break this curse and reunite your brother and sister? ”

The corners of this unusually handsome man's mouth hooked up a dry smile: "Our brother and sister have never been separated, how can we talk about reunion?" When one person is dormant, the other naturally protects him or her. As for this curse...... The person who made the curse in the first place is long dead, and there should be no one in this world who can lift the curse on our brothers and sisters. ”

Queen Dugu said with a smile: "Things in this world often depend on blessings and misfortunes, and you brothers and sisters have this curse, how do you know that there are only disasters and no blessings?" ”

Baili Qiuyang bowed his head and said: "What Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven said is extremely true. ”

There was silence in the air for a moment, and Queen Dugu said lightly: "The weather is cloudy and rainy, and the widow doesn't like it, you can retreat from the palace people outside, and then bring the palace door with you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Baili Qiuyang nodded yes, and then got up and went to the outside of the main hall to screen the retreat people.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, Queen Dugu stopped him: "Wait, the widow didn't tell you to leave." ”

Baili Qiuyang had no choice but to walk into the main hall again and close the door with his hand.

"Why did you leave in such a hurry?"

"Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, tonight is quite gloomy, I am afraid that there will be a demonic chaos, and I want to take Jin Luanwei out to patrol the night."

"No need." Queen Dugu said, "There are many public gates in Tiandu City, and there is no shortage of you for a hundred miles of autumn sun, nor a golden luanwei." ”

Baili Qiuyang frowned slightly: "Then what does Your Majesty mean ......?" ”

In the veil like a veil of mist, the woman maintained a posture of meditation and practice from beginning to end: "The widow has encountered a bit of a fork in his cultivation recently, and the true qi has been stagnant when it runs to several acupuncture points at the lower end of the Ren vein. ”

Hundred miles of autumn sun: "Your Majesty ......"

Queen Dugu: "What's the matter, you, Qiuyang-jun have changed?" ”

On the roof of the main hall, an owl paused in the wind and rain, bathed in a desolate moonlight on its head.

As if hearing an unusual movement from below the main hall, the owl pecked at the tiles under it with its hard hooked beak, and then it fluttered its wings and shuttled through the rainy night.

It flew freely over the illuminated lights of Tiandu City, as fast as an arrow off the string.

The tall and majestic Vientiane Shrine, the restaurants and inns with heavy eaves and flying corners, and the rows of private houses have turned into black silhouettes behind it.

After a laborious flutter, it landed on another roof of the Guangming Temple's official office, and also used its pointed beak to peck at the roof tiles......

The mortuary was full of women's corpses, all covered with white cloths, and parked uprightly on a simple couch made of bamboo and wood.

"Lao San'er, what are you doing sneaking around there alone?"

"I ...... I want to become a doctor in the future, and I'm practicing acupuncture with corpses. ”

"Practicing medicine? Acupuncture? You don't know a single word, how can it be so easy to study medicine if you want to! ”

"You, you, you take care of me!"

In the dimly lit morgue room, two bad guys talk to each other from afar.

The bad guy standing outside looked older, stopped for a moment, suddenly frowned, muttered "no" twice in a row, and immediately rushed into the corpse room quickly, rushing towards the bad guy named Lao San'er......

Within a moment, he was furious, but he desperately pinched his voice and cursed:

"Where are you doing acupuncture, you are clearly ...... Fang Zhongshu! ”

The bad guy named Lao San'er opened his mouth and quibbled: "That...... Isn't that the same? Acupuncture pierces many acupuncture points all over the body, and this one is ...... Only one ......"

The older bad man scolded angrily: "These female corpses are all victims who were sacrificed to the Dragon King three years ago, and they have been dead for three years, and they have been evil in the middle, and they have been alienated into monsters for a time, I don't know how you got it!" ”

The bad man Lao San'er sneered: "Sun Laoji, don't pretend to me!" Who doesn't know that you can't marry a daughter-in-law at the age of forty-three this year? Then he changed his tone and teased in a low voice, "Why don't you give it a try?" The skin and flesh are still fresh. ”

"I ...... Why should I go along with you? ”

"Sun Laoji, don't pretend, you definitely want to give it a try! Yesterday, the newcomer Xia Xiaocia injured a lot of palm night envoys, causing them all to go back to recuperate, and now there is no one everywhere in the Guangming Temple, if you don't say it, I won't say it, no one knows. ”

"This ...... Alas......"

Eventually, both started pushing the cart.

Shake and shake, shake and shake......

It was still stormy outside, and the owl kept pecking at the roof tiles with its sharp beak.

Tuk tuk.

Tuk-tuk.

Tuk tuk!

The pecking sound grew more and more rapid, but it was all in vain, and its sound fell into the sea, failing to wake anyone.

Suddenly, two heart-rending screams came from under the roof!

The owl fled in fright with a "poof", and flew desperately towards the heights and distances, desperately climbing, and only two feathers were left on the original roof.

……

In the eastern suburbs of Tiandu City, the rainy night is deep.

Five fast horses galloped on the official road, and five bad people wearing hats and robes returned from Qingluo County.

This place is only about three or four miles away from Tiandu City, and I have already vaguely seen the dim lights of that majestic city, and the spirits of the five bad people can't help but be lifted.

Ahead is a small stream that is more than a foot wide, and flows far into the surging white river to the north.

There is a wooden bridge built over the stream, and as long as you cross this wooden bridge, the official road to Tiandu City is a smooth road.

Five unscrupulous men spurred their horses and were about to rush across the small wooden bridge in one go.

"Drive! Driving - driving ——! ”

But at this moment, a white lightning bolt suddenly burst from the plain, flew from the oblique thorn with unparalleled speed, and blocked the way of the five of them.

The five bad people were taken aback, and hurriedly pulled the rope to rein in the horse, their hearts pounding like a drum, and they looked fixedly.

I saw a half-human-tall snow-white fox blocking the bridge, and there were six tails undulating behind him. In the night, the white fox's eyes were like molten gold, exuding a golden noble look, looking directly at the five bad people.

Its majestic demonic power, its gaze that does not know good and evil, deeply shocked them!

They didn't even dare to take a breath of air, and their hearts were almost hanging in their throats!

In front of the monsters of this level, they were powerless to fight back, just five humble ants.

Frightened, the five unscrupulous people trembled and took out the talisman they had begged from the Spring and Autumn Gate during the day, and held it up in front of them in unison.

The clear glow of the Taoist true mantra dispelled a little darkness, but it did not scare off this big demon at all.

Just when they thought they were going to die tonight, the huge six-tailed white fox said:

"Don't worry about you, you won't take your life."

The five bad guys were in shock.

The unscrupulous people led by him hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I don't know if the fox fairy fell from the sky tonight, what advice do you have for us ordinary people?" ”

The six-tailed white fox raised its right paw, and a green light appeared in the void at a glance, and flew leisurely towards the leader of the bad guys, and then spoke:

"I said: The number of great balances has been exhausted, the world has collapsed, and troubled times will come out!"

The leader of the bad people trembled and took over the green light flying in the air, it turned out that this was a piece of jadeite carved carved round jade, the workmanship was extremely exquisite, and it was priceless at a glance.

"Ah...... That fox fairy is gone! ”

A bad guy next to him suddenly let out an exclamation.

The leader of the bad guys looked at the bridge again, and the six-tailed white fox was indeed gone.

"What kind of big immortal is the fox? This is an old youkai who has been cultivating for at least three hundred years! ”

"Shhhh

[Chapter 27 - An important clue from Zhao Sishui]

Gu Changan gradually woke up in the Langhuan Library.

Looking at the pages of books that swirled and flew in the sky above the hall, I was surprised in my heart.

"What does that mean?"

With doubts, he slowly stood up from the white jade floor tiles of Langhuan Library, and grabbed a piece of paper from the air.

Looking down, it turned out that this was a page in a certain criminal case file, and I don't know what force split it into pages and flew in the air.

Gu Changan loosened this page of the criminal case file, and it automatically merged into the beige torrent above the hall, swirling like a whirlpool. Then he reached into the torrent and grabbed another page at random, only to find that it was the personnel file of the ministry.

After throwing away this page of archival documents, Gu Changan couldn't help but murmur:

"Could it be...... This is what Lang Huan Shuge provided to me...... Big data analytics capabilities? ”

This speculation is bold, but it needs to be verified.

So after brewing some emotions, he shouted out the first noun: "Zhao Sishui." ”

With a command from his mind, hundreds of pages of documents flew out of the beige torrent, all of which spontaneously flew in front of his eyes and lined up. All the keywords "Zhao Sishui" appear in the vertical text are marked in red, exuding a bright red light.

It's really a big data analysis function...... Gu Changan was a little stunned and a little surprised.

At present, he is pursuing Zhao Sishui's case, and it is very important to investigate the other party's past experience, because this may be able to find some clues. So he continued to read carefully.

"Zhao Sishui was born in the army, once served in the northern border army, and fought against the beast barbarian army outside the fortress......"

"Later, he joined the East China Sea Division, and fought against the sharks and the Chenyue people. After the threat from the East China Sea decreased, he switched to join the Yamen of the Caoyun Division......"

In addition to the resume, the Daheng Dynasty also had a strict assessment of the martial arts cultivation of military attachés.

It is clearly recorded in the personnel file of the Ministry of Officials:

"In the eleventh year of Taikang (nine years ago), Zhao Sishui had already pushed the martial arts realm to the fourth level - Jian Xin.

"Like many famous generals and ministers who have left their names in history, the natal Xuan Bing tempered by Zhao Sishui is also a spear......"

Gu Changan quickly analyzed in his mind while reading:

"But in the past nine years, Zhao Sishui's martial arts cultivation has always been sluggish.

"The appointment of military attaches in the Daheng Dynasty mainly assesses two indicators, one is resume, and the other is martial arts cultivation.

"Zhao Sishui's past resume is not too outstanding, and his martial arts cultivation has been sluggish in the past nine years, so the officials have been shelving his promotion.

Under the anxiety, Zhao Sishui began to wonder if he had taken the wrong path in the first place? Suspecting that he might not be suitable for following the path of martial arts at all, he turned to sword cultivation ......"

Gu Changan immediately made a bold guess: the reason why Zhao Sishui made this change must have some adventure in the middle, such as someone who gave him guidance and made him believe it!

After all, if a cultivator changes the system halfway, there will be a certain degree of loss of cultivation skills in the past. The degree of loss is as little as 10%, and even more than 90% is possible.

"So, could the key person who led him to change his cultivation system be the mastermind behind this case?"

"Could it be that white-haired Trebber?"

But his intuition told him that it was unlikely that the mastermind behind this was Treber.

Because this reasoning is too simple.

So, Treber is more likely to play the role of an accomplice?

At dawn yesterday, Cui Bo said a sentence on the ship: "Captain Zhao just broke through the three realms of foundation building a few days ago, so he should fight steadily and steadily, and there is no need to rush to attack the four realms of sword guts......"

According to this speculation, Zhao Sishui has only recently begun to turn to the sword cultivation system......

The node of this transformation may be within three months, but it will not exceed half a year at the latest!

Gu Chang'an's heart moved at will, and three more pages of golden light came out of the hundreds of pages of documents, flew out of them, approached him a foot, and lined up in front of him again.

These are the confessions of the survivors of the officers and soldiers in yesterday's Caochuan bombing case, and the contents of the statements are all related to Zhao Sishui and Cui Bo.

Officer A: "I've never seen this old servant named Cui Bo before, and I only saw it for the first time when I went to the south of the Yangtze River to transport goods this time." ”

Officer B: "Cui Bo is a kind person, he smiles and is approachable to anyone he meets. ”

Soldier C: "Captain Zhao went down to the south of the Yangtze River to transport goods this time, and he sat and practiced in his cabin almost every day, and that Cui Bo seems to have been giving Captain Zhao guidance all the time. The relationship between the two is like a teacher and a friend? ”

Officers and Soldiers: "Before going to Jiangnan this time, I heard from others that Captain Zhao had been in and out of Ghost Alley several times......

Haunted Alley?!

Gu Changan suddenly became excited, and immediately stopped reading.

The paperwork records about Zhao Sishui are not said to be a vast ocean, but they can also be called very cumbersome and detailed.

For the survivors of yesterday's boat bombing alone, Guangming Temple randomly selected 50 people to record their confessions, and the information provided was very complicated.

If he hadn't had Lang Huan Library, he wouldn't have known how long he would have to analyze before he could find out the important clue of "Ghost Alley".

"In this way, Ghost Alley is an extremely important breakthrough in the case!"

Gu Changan waved his hand gently, and all the pages and pages of documents in front of him flew back into the beige torrent above the hall.

And these beige torrents formed by the convergence of countless pages, and then spontaneously reassembled into books and dossiers in order, like birds returning to the forest, automatically scattered on the shelves of Langhuan Library.

"Haunted Alley...... Maybe it's recorded in the "Kyushu Chronicle"? ”

Gu Changan raised the two fingers of his right hand, pinched it into a sword trick, and swung it towards the "Kyushu Scenery" on the Qingyu case.

Whoa—

If an invisible hand is flipping through the book quickly, it will turn to the page with the record of "Ghost Alley" in an instant.

According to the record of "Kyushu Scenery":

Ghost Alley, also known as Ghost Street, is the underground city of Tiandu City, and it is also the other side of the peaceful and prosperous scene of Tiandu City. It is dark and evil, full of all kinds of three religions and nine streams, sideways and left-handed ways, and all kinds of shady deeds.

The imperial authorities have always turned a blind eye to the existence there. Usually, as long as there are no major incidents there, the officials of the major public gates in Tiandu are rarely willing to set foot in that place.

Only the bad guy brothers, every month or two, will be sent there for a routine full inspection.

"There is such a place under the Tiandu City that hides filth and dirt......"

At first, Gu Changan was a little surprised, but combined with his experience in his previous life, he was soon relieved again.

His next plan is to go deep into the ghost alley and continue to investigate the cause of Zhao Sishui's mutation.
