Hearing Xuan enter the hall, I saw a fifteen-year-old boy kneeling under the throne wearing a python robe and jade belt, and said: "Minister Wang Zhi, long live your majesty!"

Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen sat on the throne, and when he saw Wang Zhi, Fang Cai's tightly locked frown also relaxed slightly, and said, "Calm down! I ask you, do you know about the demon fox murder case rumored in Beijing recently?"

The young man got up, only to see that this person was fair and delicate, and his eyes were full of spirit and cleverness, and he calmly replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen has heard about it, and now it is already panicked. Although the imperial court deliberately concealed the matter, the news still spread and caused a storm in the city. ”

Zhu Jianshen slapped the dragon case heavily, and said angrily: "Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been like decorations all these years, and they have never found a single clue! Even I can see clearly, where is the monster doing it, it is clear that someone did it on purpose!"

"Your Majesty is angry!" Wang Zhidao said, "Weichen came here to share His Majesty's worries!"

Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Do you have any eyebrows?"

Wang Zhi nodded and looked around left and right. Zhu saw that he knew his deep meaning, so he drank and retreated. Now there are only two monarchs and ministers left in this huge Qianqing Palace.

I only heard Wang Zhiyu say: "Your Majesty Shengming, I knew early on that this demon fox case was man-made rather than a monster. Weichen disguised himself in the market for the past two days to inquire, and heard that there was a Taoist priest surnamed Li who could eliminate demons in the capital, and he was deeply supported, even Shuntianfu Yin also highly respected this person, and Weichen thought that maybe he could find some clues from this person. ”

Zhu Jianshen believed in the Tao, and when he saw that Wang Zhi suspected the Taoist chief of the monkhood, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he did not show it, and only said: "This Taoist chief will be able to eliminate demons, and it is also beneficial to the people, why, Aiqing is suspicious of this person?"

Seeing that Zhu Jianshen questioned it, Wang Zhi knelt on the ground again and said: "Your Majesty cares about the people, which is really the blessing of the people." However, Wei Chen thought that the timing of this Li Daochang's appearance was really a coincidence. ”

After Wang Zhi's reminder, Zhu Jianshen leaned forward and said, "Get up and continue." ”

"Not only is the timing coincidental, but the key point is that the minister heard that this person seems to have some connection with the internal prison!"

Zhu Jianshen's intuition told him that there was a big article in it. So he called: "Come on, tell Wantong to come to see me immediately!"

Wan Tong is the younger brother of Wan Guifei, and he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and in addition to the commander, he is the leader. Less engraved, a unicorn suit Wantong arrived in a hurry.

After Wan passed the big gift, he only heard Zhu Jianshen say: "Wang Zhi listens to the order! I ordered you to take charge of the demon fox case, and I will definitely investigate this case for me!"

"Obey the order!"

"Wantong, from now on, you Jinyiwei must cooperate with Wang Zhi to solve the case, ask people to give people, ask for things, and you can't shirk! Otherwise, it will be your sister who intercedes, and I can't spare you!"

Wantong was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly fell on the ground and sang: "The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go down, and the two shouted to retire and went out of the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, he only heard Wan Tongyan say: "If Gonggong Wang has any orders, he only needs to send someone to inform the yamen, and he will fully cooperate!"

Wang Zhi arched his hand towards Wantong and said lightly: "Lord Wan, we really have something to ask for." ”

"Father-in-law, please speak. ”

"After today's curfew, please also ask your Excellency to assign a hundred households with good skills, and then bring four or five captains to my imperial horse prison, we have our own arrangements. ”

Wantong smiled a little flatteringly: "It's easy to say! To say that the father-in-law is young, he can be trusted by the emperor, it is really ......" He squinted his eyes before he said, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Zhi getting into the sedan chair without looking back. was extremely embarrassed for a while, looking at Wang Zhi, hating the root of his teeth!

Watching Wang Zhi's sedan chair gradually walk away, Wantong took a sip and scolded: "Eggless eunuch!"

Now the sun was halfway down, and it was getting dark.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jianshen got up and paced, muttering: "If it is really a monster, what should it be?" Suddenly thought, "Back then, Cheng Zu once said that there is a practice in this world called the "Nine-Character Sword Sutra", and if you practice it, you can punish all kinds of evils and gain immortality! If I can obtain this exercise, where can I be afraid of any demons and evils? The most important thing is that I can become immortals and live forever!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Jianshen's eyes were full of greed!

At the same time, the streets were still full of people, but now they are gradually deserted.

In the Xiangfu Inn in Yongfang, Shen Yuan and He Nan thought about it, but they still didn't believe that there was any fox demon. I have nothing to do, so I simply go out to visit the night of the capital.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and only asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, are you closing?"

The shopkeeper said: "I'm really sorry, I advise the two guest officers, don't go out when it's dark, your life is at stake!"

He Nanxu looked out at the crack in the door at this time, and said: "Sure enough, people are panicking, the doors are closed on the left and right, and no one is moving on the street, which is the capital, it is clearly a ghost town!"

The shopkeeper said helplessly, and only said: "Hey, girl, this is no way!

"Hmph!" He Nanxu was swept away, and his heart was unhappy.

Shen Yuan persuaded: "Forget it, you should rest for a night today, and you still have something to do tomorrow." ”

When it comes to business, He Nanxu naturally knows what Shen Yuan is referring to. Fang was in the room, Shen Yuan discussed with her that he would go to find out the news of the enemy early tomorrow morning, after all, the purpose of coming to the capital was not to play, and the revenge of his parents had not been avenged, so no one had the heart to be happy.

After dinner, the two went back to their rooms.

Shen Yuan pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew into the house. At this moment, although he is only wearing single clothes, he does not feel cold because of his profound internal strength, but makes him more sober. He thought in his heart: "Menda, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, will always be in the yamen, but the master of the Jinyi Guard is like a cloud, and when he was besieged in Hangzhou, even the stinky old man couldn't come and go freely! It's really unwise to do it here, it's better to keep an eye on it for a few days first, there is always a chance to be alone!"

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yuan only felt that his own strength was insufficient. The ninth layer of this "Mixed Yuan True Qi", although it is also full of internal strength and abundant true qi, but in every move, it is still not half a star behind Gongye and He!

Over the years, he has always competed with himself and Gongyehe! Although Gongyehe was not by his side, Shen Yuan still made progress like a fly, and ordinary people were not as good as others!

If others knew, they would definitely think that Shen Yuan was a genius. But only Shen Yuan himself knows how ruthless he has been to himself in the past thirteen years, and how much blood and sweat he has paid!

But at the moment, he hit a bottleneck.

In the past year, no matter how he cultivated, he had never been able to break through the realm of the tenth layer of "Mixed Yuan True Qi". This made him quite anxious in his heart, not only because of the strength of the enemy, but also because of the gambling contract when Gongye and the sword were given!

How difficult it is to become a sword master before the age of forty!

Shen Yuan closed the window, took off his shoes and sat on the bed, looking at his nose and nose and heart, abandoning distracting thoughts and cultivating.

The true qi in the body flowed into the hundred bones with the meridians, and then scattered from the limbs to the acupuncture points around the body, and then surged along the twelve positive and eight meridians of the strange meridians to the hundreds of acupoints, and then returned to the dantian, back and forth, with the breath, Shen Yuan only felt that the true qi in the body was a little stronger, and slowly entered the meditation and entered a wonderful state.

Unconsciously, when Shen Yuan opened his eyes, the sound of the three watches had already sounded.

Shen Yuan got up from the bed, not tired at all. stretched his waist, only to feel transparent. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the window, making Shen Yuan immediately alert!

Immediately after, I only heard a scream outside the window!

"Not good!"

At this time, the door was pushed open with a bang, and I saw He Nanxu only wearing underwear and running in in a panic. Shen Yuan exclaimed, "What's wrong?"

"I, I don't know, just now I was asleep, suddenly I heard a terrible sound outside, as soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a black shadow flashing, so scared that I ran over, isn't it really a fox demon again?"

He Nanxu was talking, and when he saw Shen Yuan looking at him directly, he reacted, and he was ashamed: "You still see!" immediately got into Shen Yuan's bed and covered it with a quilt.

I thought to myself: "In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows are in the same room, and they are dressed like this, how can I see people in the future?"

Shen Yuan only felt hot all over.

Fang Cai He Nanxu broke into the door, the figure was exquisite, convex and concave, so that he could look at it, but he was stunned, his heartbeat was like playing a drum, and he relieved himself for a while.

"Sister Nanxu, you haven't encountered danger, have you?" Shen Yuan was a little embarrassed, but thinking of the black shadow just now, he couldn't help but sweat for He Nanxu.

He Nanxu hid in the quilt and said softly: "No, no." It's just that it's really scary. ”

Suddenly, another scream broke the silence!

"In the inn!" Shen Yuan and He Nanxu exclaimed at the same time!

Shen Yuan grabbed the Northern Immortal Sword and said hurriedly: "Sister, don't walk around in the house, I'll take a look!" After saying that, he rushed out of the room and followed the sound to investigate.

The sound came from the courtyard of the inn, and in the moonlight, Shen Yuan saw a corpse lying on the ground in a strange posture, with a black hole in his chest, obviously gouging out his heart. If you look closely, it is the guy who greeted him in the afternoon!

This scene was terrifying, and it made Shen Yuan retch.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind Shen Yuan, and he shouted: "Who?" turned around at the same time, and stabbed out with a sword!

Seeing that it was He Nanxu, he hurriedly retracted his sword momentum, took a long breath, and said, "Sister, why did you come out?"

"I'm in the room by myself, I'm even more scared," He Nanxu twisted a little, "It's better to follow you, in case it's really a monster, two people are better than one person......"

The voice became smaller and smaller, Shen Yuan looked at her and couldn't laugh a little, and only said, "Then you can follow me closely." ”

He Nanxu nodded, and as soon as he raised his head, his face suddenly changed greatly, he became extremely frightened, pointed behind Shen Yuan, and stammered and shouted: "Fox.... Demon!"
