At noon, two large bamboo baskets and three corpses were escorted to Jingzhao Mansion by the soldiers of Jin Wuwei's team.

With Tian Wenlin's vigorous efforts, General Jin Wuwei agreed to jointly investigate the case with Jingzhao Mansion.

"This official will fight for the opportunity, whether he can show his face depends on the methods of the three adults?" Tian Wenlin threw down two sentences and left the house.

There was a large clay pot in each of the two large bamboo baskets, and in each large clay pot was a girl who was unconscious, and the three bodies were the corpses of two adults in black and the corpses of a little girl.

The two large clay pots were depicted with strange and obscure ancient runes, which were dark for a while like living creatures, revealing a trace of evil power.

Most of the bodies of the two girls were packed in cans, only the part above the neck was exposed, their hair was yellow, their faces were as white as paper, and there were faint five-colored breaths alternating on their faces, and the breath was very weak, as if they were going to die at any time, just one glance, which made Su Ziang feel pity.

The corpses of the two black-clothed adults were both killed by an arrow through the throat, the underside of the eyes was pale, the facial contours were as deep as a knife, the skin pores were large, and the hair was yellowish, which was obviously different from the physical characteristics of ordinary Guxia people.

The dead little girl was naked, skinny, with only a trace of oily skin on her body, and her fingers and toes were pointed, just like a skeleton, but the waist and abdomen were bulging as if filled with a large amount of water, which was very conspicuous.

Jin Wuwei injured a lot of people this time, and originally did not agree to hand them over to Jingzhao Mansion, but Lord Wang insisted that the little girl must be directly related to the case of the girl in the butterfly garden who abandoned her bones, and insisted that these five people go to Jingzhao Mansion. Chen Bufan said.

Su Ziang said: "Listen to the words of the eldest brother, there are still living bandits in Jinwuwei?"

Most likely, this is the case, and this meaning is also revealed in the words handed down from Shangguan. Chen Bufan responded.

"The thieves have abused these girls so viciously, are they still human?"

"At present, we need to ask Mu Zhenren to take action to see if the girl in the jar can be saved, judging from the appearance of the large clay pot, the thief must soak the two girls in a mysterious potion in the jar, so that they will not die for a while, but most of this potion needs to be replaced regularly......"

"Okay, Senior Brother Chu and I immediately went to the Iron Horse Taoist Temple to invite Master Mu to come. ”

The cross street was full of people, and when Su Ziang and Chu Tian passed by the Miaoyue Medical Center, they saw Luo Du Sanshao sitting in the medical hall and chattering.

"Doctor Lin, where is Juan'er, quickly call her out to touch the pulse for Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi's lower abdomen is now blazing and irritable...... Tian Wangwang crossed Erlang's legs, knocking on the folding fan and chattering.

Su Miaoyue said: "Tian Gongzi is the son of an official eunuch, his waist is pendant jade, and he should guard the virtue of a gentleman who is as moist as jade, why do you have to come to disturb Juanzi, a girl who has just tied her hair and hair?"

"The eldest brother likes the young girl, and the third brother likes the little lady of the good family, both of whom are famous top ten talented young people in Luodu. Xu Bairong cocked his orchid finger and introduced on the side: "Big brother likes a shy little girl like Juanzi, call her quickly." ”

Su Ziang hurried past the window, and only heard Tian Wangwang say from afar: "My fair lady, the gentleman is good, the gentleman who does not pursue the lady, there are only two possibilities, the gentleman is fake, or the lady is fake......

The Iron Horse Taoist Temple is on a hill on the outskirts of Luodu City, standing at the gate of the temple and looking around, with a wide field of vision and fresh air.

A small Taoist priest of the Iron Horse Taoist Temple went in to report for a short time, and Mu Sangzi carried his hands behind his back and cocked his mustache, and came out of the Taoist temple.

"Uncle Yumu, the disciples encountered something unknown in the Jingzhao Mansion, and they came to ask Uncle for advice?"

Mu Sangzi smiled like spring and said: "There is no need for red tape with this seat, and you can talk about it directly if you have something." ”

"Uncle Shi, there was a big case in Luodu last night, several people were arrested, and two girls seemed to have a glimmer of life, so they needed to ask Uncle Shi to go to Jingzhao Mansion to rescue them. ”

"Let's go, go to Jingzhao Mansion to have a look, and tell you the causes and consequences one by one on the way. Mu Mulberry took the lead.

Jingzhao Fuchu.

There are several apricot trees planted in the courtyard, which have pulled out the green branches, swaying in the spring breeze, Mu Sangzi briefly looked at the three corpses and two girls, and asked Chen Bufan two more words, twisting his mustache and sinking slightly.

"This is a big case, as expected by this seat, it will be strictly investigated. ”

Chen Bufan was stunned for a moment, licked his lips, and said, "Please give Mu Zhenren some detailed advice." ”

"According to what you said, dozens of Hu Xiu appeared at the Dongmen Wharf last night, these Hu Xiu clothes are exactly the same, you see that they are all pale-complexioned, their hands and feet are calloused, and only the tiger mouth and thumb of their right hand are slightly calloused, what does this mean?"

Chen Bufan said: "It shows that some of the more than 30 Hu Xiu people provide rations in a unified manner, and it is also possible that they do not often see the sun." ”

"According to the system of this dynasty, Hu people who enter the Guxia Dynasty need to have border clearance documents, and those who enter Luodu need to report to Jingzhao Mansion one by one, but now dozens of unknown Hu Xiu have appeared all of a sudden, who are they? Where do they live? Who provides them with cover and rations? What are their intentions in sneaking into Luodu?"

"Ah, I've been thinking about the girl's identity and the secret of her belly, and I've forgotten about it. Chen Bufan didn't have the slightest official authority in front of Mu Sangzi, and begged: "Can Mu Zhenren tell me more about the girl." ”

"Most girls have a kind of Gu worm in their abdomen, and the barbarian sorcerers outside the territory will raise worms and lower Gu, these sorcerers have to constantly catch and feed insects in the barren ancient forest, and never walk in the territory of the Gu Xia Dynasty, but why is it related to Hu Xiu today?"

Su Ziang asked, "Uncle Shi, the girls in these two big jars are too pitiful, can you save them?"

"There's one person from the Taihua faction who might be able to revive them. ”

"Who?"

"You know this person, and I have a good relationship with you. Mu Sangzi smiled slyly.

Su Ziang shouted: "Master Shui." ”

"In addition to practicing the basic exercises of the Taihua Sutra, each peak has different unique spells, Xiushui Peak has always specialized in Danshu and medical Taoism, this Gu worm Ruoshui Senior Sister can't solve it, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can solve it. ”

"Uncle Shi, that ......" Su Ziang had a flattering smile on his face.

Mu Sangzi smiled and said, "This seat can use a spell to inform Senior Sister Shui, but it's just a long way away, whether Senior Sister Shui comes to this Luodu, it's really uncertain." ”

"Mu Zhenren, the secrets on these two girls' witnesses are very important, can you say a few more words to Shui Zhenren?" Chen Bufan discussed.

"Huh. Mu Sangzi smiled and said: "Master Chen, rest assured, Su Ziang is the first male disciple of the Xiu Mountain of Taihua Mountain for thousands of years, and since Senior Sister Shui has accepted him as an apprentice, she will definitely not sit idly by." ”

In the imperial city, Renshou Palace.

The inner sandalwood is slowly ethereal, the falling feathers can be smelled, the layers of tulle curtains are swaying in the wind, and Emperor Renzong sits in it with his eyes closed, pinching the magic with his hands, as if he is practicing some kind of mysterious Taoism.

Outside the hall, there was a sudden sound of imperceptible footsteps, which stopped, and then quietly retreated.

Renzong slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter with Gonggong Zhao?"

"Your Majesty. He said softly: "Yu Shi Xu Yazhi has an urgent matter." ”

The hall was quiet for a long time, and Renzong said: "Xuan will meet you at the Jingshe next to the hall." ”

"No. Zhao Gonggong replied and withdrew gently.

After a cup of tea, in the fine house by the Renshou Palace.

"Your Majesty, I heard that last night, Jin Wuwei found a group of bandits near the East Gate Wharf, and after a fierce fight, Jin Wuwei officers and soldiers suffered more than ten casualties and killed dozens of bandits, each of whom carried a large clay pot, and each contained a girl in the clay pot. Xu Yazhi said: "In the end, there were still several bandits who escaped. ”

"What is the whereabouts of the escaped bandits?"

"Jin Wuwei and Jingzhao Mansion are strictly investigating the whole city, and the strange thing about this case is that the identity of the bandits is verified, and it has been verified that they are all Hu people who have no identity documents. ”

"Hu people with no identity?" Renzong groaned slightly and asked, "Can you find out who Hu people are?"

"There is no empirical evidence yet, and the minister believes that diplomatic relations are no trivial matter, and whether to send officials or Golden Eagle Wei to investigate the case thoroughly. "Xu Yazhi asked?

Renzong said: "It's too early to send someone to intervene at this time, wait a minute." ”

"No, Weichen retired. "Xu Yazhi can't figure out Renzong's thoughts, this case was originally under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, Tian Wenlin and his own political views are not in harmony, and there are often disputes in the court, if he strongly recommends sending the minister to investigate thoroughly in front of Renzong this time, it seems that he is suspected of taking the opportunity to attack Tian Wenlin.

After Xu Yazhi left, Renzong said: "Gonggong Zhao, first Xuan Zhou Tianshi saw me, and by the way, he brought the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to the outside of the palace. ”

"No. Zhao Gonggong left quickly.

After half a cup of tea, an old Taoist with a red face and white hair appeared in the house, with a green Pisces jade pendant on his waist and a pale green hosta on his crown.

Whoever looks at it understands that the old fairy is coming.

"Gonggong Zhao, give Zhou Tianshi a seat. Renzong said.

Zhou Tianshi hurriedly thanked him and sat down.

"Master Zhou, you said last time that there is an immortal technique that can prolong life, and now this immortal technique can be settled?"

"Your Majesty, this immortal technique is a double cultivation technique inherited from ancient times in my Immortal Sect, and a woman who needs to cultivate a pure yin body for a long time is used as a furnace for Your Majesty to prolong life. Zhou Tianshi said with a smile: "There are countless people who live a thousand years old in this sect, and even the poor Dao has a lifespan of hundreds of years. ”

"There is such an immortal art in the world?" Renzong's eyes flashed.

Zhou Tianshi said: "There is no joke in front of the king, but it is quite particular about cultivating a pure yin furnace ding, in addition to teaching her the art of tuna cultivation, there are several heavenly and earthly treasures that are not recorded in the "Six Realms of Foreign Bodies", and they need to go to the mountains one by one to find them, so they have not been successful until recently. ”

"What does the female furnace tripod look like?" Renzong's tone was a little curious.

Master Zhou Tiandao: Poor Dao has brought four of the female furnace tripods to the outside of the house, does Your Majesty have a look?"

"Announce quickly. Renzong ordered quickly, and later, four slim white-robed women entered under the leadership of Zhao Gonggong and bent down to salute together.

"Look up. Renzong was a little impatient.

The four women raised their heads together, and saw that everyone had jade skin and ice skin, no different from some beautiful concubines in the palace, but they all had emerald between their eyebrows, and their eyes were as deep as cold water in the smoke cage shot out a supreme flattery, and their eyes were slightly swirling, revealing a touch of seductive luster between innocence.

Renzong leaned his upper body, as if he wanted to leave his seat to check, but then sat back on the throne, still maintaining the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and asked, "If you make up for them, you can prolong your life?"

"Exactly. "Zhou Tianshi lowered his eyebrows, and every move you made on the female disciple of the old Dao when the secret path was replenished in his heart, the old Dao could clearly detect it through the magic weapon, and pretended to be the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Renzong asked, "Can this replenishment be carried out in a timely manner?"

"Your Majesty, the double cultivation of immortal art pays attention to the combination of the sun and the moon, and the wonderful longevity, which is acting against the sky, which pays a lot of attention, when these female disciples open the jade aperture, the jade essence flows out, and Your Majesty must retreat and concentrate on making up, a little distraction, and the supplement becomes a resounding music, and opposing Your Majesty's dragon body is detrimental to ......" Zhou Tianshi Zheng Se said: "Poor Dao is worried that His Majesty is concerned about state affairs and cannot be single-minded. ”

"The Heavenly Master doesn't know, for me, I only seek power and longevity, as the emperor of the world, my power has reached the end, and now I only seek immortality. Renzong said, but he has been the emperor for decades, and at this time he still has a little vigilance in his heart, so he asked: "How many hours does it take for the Heavenly Master to retreat?"

"This is up to Your Majesty to decide. Zhou Tianshi pointed to the four female disciples and said, "Your Majesty can choose one of the four female disciples of the poor path, and try the effect before you need to practice in retreat." ”

"Good. Renzong's eyes turned around on the four female Daoists, pointed to one of the female Daoists and said, "Just choose this female Kundao." ”

"The poor road needs to be arranged in advance, and when Your Majesty is fortunate to make up for it, it will only take two hours this time. Zhou Tianshi said with a smile.

"Heavenly Master, go. Renzong tried his best to stabilize his anxious expression, and said, "After I see Tian Shangshu of the Criminal Department later, I will go to meet with the Heavenly Master." ”

"The poor road retreats first. Zhou Tianshi stood, wearing a wide white robe and floating, walking out with his head held high like an immortal.
