Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Forty-Eight: See you again

is in the capital, this matter Qiu Shaohu can understand. After all, Yangzhai Hanke deliberately stayed in the capital and bought such a hut, which must have his intentions. Maybe there is something in the capital that attracts him. Maybe he's found it, maybe he's not found it.

The Dao related to the Holy Emperor Hong, which is either related to the "Five Dao", or is simply the Dao of Heaven. Anything is possible on either of these points, and it is not yet possible to confirm.

But what does it mean to "gather knowledge"? Where to meet this place?

Hallym Temple? The Imperial Scripture Pavilion? Or will you test the exam room? It is inexplicable that this famous author is inexplicable in his inexplicable words and pantomaku here in the most important places.

"Since I came to the capital, I have always been in contact with inexplicable things." Qiu Shaohu was a little helpless.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly thought of something else.

If it was difficult to relate to each other at first, but now, it seems reasonable to guess that Yangzhai Hanke came to Kangjing with his own purpose.

It's that voice!

At the time of the full moon, the yin energy is at its peak, and the harsh Sanskrit sound appears.

It can force people with weak souls to become moon disciples, and it will certainly attract other attention.

Could it be that the poor guest of Yangzhai would not come to find the reason for this incident?

……

The sensation caused by An Jin in the examination room still did not calm down.

The examiners present began to whisper, and at this time, they didn't care about the etiquette of the officialdom, and they were expecting this scholar to hand in the paper and take a peek at its handwriting.

This feeling made Duan Houxing a little unhappy. He came here as a prince, that is, as the head of a hundred officials, to show the prestige of the imperial court.

But for now, it seems that colleagues have forgotten about it.

Especially Xu Deng, the young master of the crown prince was on the side, because he was too old, he had already closed his eyes and was napping, and he could vaguely hear his snoring. It seems that seeing that his disciples can't be the leader, and his disciples who are in the future are also pressed by a sudden appearance of the scholar, he completely relaxes.

Duan Houxing's face was gloomy, and at this moment, he saw a small official next to him and quietly stepped forward.

"Master Taishi, I have something important to report." He speaks very quickly.

"This is the examination room, and there are important things everywhere, what to say." Duan Houxing said unhappily.

"Yes, yes, my lord, you are right," the little official knew that he had lost his words, and he was a little frightened. But after thinking about it, I'm just a messenger, what else can I poke in? So it's a little more bold.

"Master Chang, editor of Hanlin, said that there is a letter for you, so that Master Tai must come and see it quickly. He also said that the letter must be handed over to you personally......"

"Chang Yong? If he has anything to do, just tell me directly, why should he send a letter? "Duan Houxing has always been a little dissatisfied with his own disciple, what he has been doing has been procrastinating, no wonder he is still just a Hanlin editor.

"No, no, no, Master Chang specially explained that this letter was not for you, he just forwarded it, and then asked me to forward this letter to you, saying that I want to transfer the letter to your master, you must know." The little official who brought the words said in his heart that why did they speak so abrasively when they were officials, and directly said that there was a third person who wanted to hand over the letter. I have to make him talk so much nonsense as he is.

"Leave it to me? I must recognize? Duan Houxing frowned, and took the already tattered envelope from the other party's hand. In recent years, he had never come into contact with anyone like him, after all, with his dignity as a court master, there were only a handful of people who were qualified to write to him.

But when he saw the letter, his face suddenly turned pale, especially when he saw clearly that it was printed with his own private seal, everything made him extremely dignified.

When he opened the letter and saw the contents inside, his originally calm face was even more out of shape.

The little official only felt a little strange, he saw that the Taishi who was leaning towards the government and the opposition was holding an old letter at the moment, and he was actually trembling constantly, and his palms were getting harder and harder.

"Go call Chang Yong, don't let him ......" Duan Houxing almost lost his temper, and immediately prepared to yell at this little official.

The words frightened the people around them, including Xu Deng, who was almost asleep, and was also awakened by this sentence.

"Huh? Is it dawn? "The young master of the crown prince is old and even a little confused.

"Big ...... My lord...... What do you command......" The little official knew that he had just said something to himself, and trembled at the moment.

"Forget it, there's no need to ask Chang Yong to find him," Duan Houxing quickly returned to his original state, as if everything just now was just an illusion. "If he dares to come back to me, he knows that I will not find him."

"Then ......" the little official still doesn't understand, where is this? Who can't find whom? Did you succeed or fail with this letter?

"You go, let the dream come to me from afar." Duan Houxing said directly: "Just say that I have something important, let her hurry up, don't procrastinate like before." ”

The little official remembered this and hurriedly ran out of here again.

Everyone knows that this dream is the assistant of Master Taishi, but she will appear by Taishi's side for anything important, which is indispensable. And its people are ...... He was never punctual, and was often late in the capital. But all the sons and brothers in the capital who admired his beauty and tried to date him to get a glimpse of Fangze are often unforgettable about this.

……

Qiu Shaohu left the hut where the Hanke of Yangzhai had lived, and planned to continue to search for traces of the Zhenchi Sect and others in the city.

Of course, before leaving, he also seriously thought about whether to find someone to repair the dilapidated hut again.

It's just that in the end, I feel that Yang Zhai Hanke is happy that he will come back, and when the time comes, how should he react to the renovated former residence? So I gave up.

And Qiu Shaohu's investigation of the clues of the Zhenchi Sect still uses those monsters as the starting point.

In fact, the whereabouts of those monsters seem to be hidden, but after all, they are still demons and not people, and they lack a little intelligence.

As long as you find their traces, you can bring out some traces of the people behind the scenes.

The more the other party tries to cover up, the easier it is to leave a flaw, and the easier it is for him to take advantage of it.

"Hey, good evening." Qiu Shaohu was on the side of the street and saw a puppy, yawning lazily, "Have you ever met your friends recently?" ”

Qiu Shaohu deliberately spoke to attract its attention, and then when it looked at itself, suddenly the light on his fingers flashed, and on the puppy's head, a rune was quickly drawn.

This is called the "Beast Talisman", which is specially used to make some animals or monsters obey instructions. seems to be able to make the other party obey his words, but it's actually quite chicken.

Because of the use of this kind of rune, there are many restrictions: one is that the object used cannot be too low in intelligence, such as spiders, praying mantis and other insects, without the IQ to understand people's instructions at all, naturally useless.

Secondly, the object of use should not be too high IQ, for example, this kind of rune will have no effect on people at all, because people's IQ can understand that you are manipulating him, and from the depths of the subconscious, there will be a strong sense of resistance, which will greatly weaken the effect of this rune.

The third point is that the object of the cast's cultivation itself cannot be stronger than you, and it must not be hostile to you. It was precisely for this reason that for those monsters before, Qiu Shaohu could not use this kind of rune.

Taken together, there are hardly many animals that meet the conditions for use. At most, people who learn to control some cats and dogs and make them more obedient. So even on the island of Forgetfulness, there are similar jokes, namely: the so-called "beast charm" is better than a "pet charm".

But at the moment, this "pet talisman" has helped Qiu Shaohu a little. Qiu Shaohu knew that at present, the evil things were suppressed everywhere in the city, and those monsters should have been hiding a long time ago. Instead of expecting to find their clues yourself, let the puppy do the work for you. The left and right are better at finding the same kind, and its sensitive sense of smell can also find it more accurately.

The puppy listened to Qiu Shaohu's instructions, shook his head, and began to smell around and scurry on the road.

Qiu Shaohu immediately followed, seeing this man and a dog, constantly looking for something in the streets and alleys at night, the scene was quite strange.

"Haven't you found it yet?" Qiu Shaohu saw that after the puppy walked for a while, he was circling in place, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Does it mean that there are monsters hidden underground?" ”

Later, Qiu Shaohu saw that the puppy was digging a pit in the ground and digging out a meat bone.

"......" Qiu Shaohu was speechless.

"Wow!" The bone-cut puppy looked even more excited, holding the bone, and ran quickly to the side.

"Oh, I see, it's found traces of its kind, so it wants to use food to please each other, so it's like this." Qiu Shaohu suddenly realized, and immediately followed the steps of the little dog and ran to a garden.

The puppy's movements were very nimble, and he scurried into the dense forest in three or two clicks and disappeared without a trace.

"It's really ......" Qiu Shaohu was about to follow, but his footsteps stopped unknowingly.

"Looks like I've got it right." In the darkness, there were many shadows, and a few bright eyes, like lanterns, stared at themselves through the darkness in the night.

I am like a prey in a trap, unconsciously surrounded by groups.

"I've also experienced this kind of scene, but I've hunted wolves in the snowy mountains before, but for the first time, I've put myself in danger." Qiu Shaohu's eyes also turned amber like a greedy wolf.

At the same time, I can also feel that the "beast talisman" originally given to the puppy, I don't know when, has completely lost its sense.

On all sides, the howls of the beasts continued and pounced on him in unison.

……

"Master Li, let's tell me, Lord Luan once looked for someone to bring you a letter secretly. That was just before he died, what did you say? Please also tell me 1510 that it is better not to hide anything. ”

Inside a pavilion, Jiang Weifei had a smile on his face and was drinking tea slowly. The official sitting across from him was sweating profusely.
