[In the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, the fourth day of the fifth month, Haishi, Daning Fang, Chang'an City, and the study of Zhao Wangfu]

Xu Ke came to King Zhao's Mansion late at night, and told his senior brother Li Yi about the appearance of dead bodies in Chang'an City.

Xu Ke immediately asked Li Yi, does senior brother know who this witch is?

Li Yi shook his head and said that he didn't know who this witch was, but I heard that Senior Sister Yiqing once said that one night, in the streets and alleys south of Chang'an City, Yiqing once met this witch......

At that moment, Li Yi told him that one night, she and Li Qi and Murong Yan were on the way north to Daming Palace in the middle of the night, and saw a woman wearing a veil at first glance.

At the end, Li Yi said: "Listening to Senior Sister Yiqing, she recalled afterwards that this veiled woman's body was surrounded by an extremely strong monster aura! This woman once appeared in the south of the city, and now, most of the bodies of those men who were found one after another were also in the south of the city. From this point of view, this veiled woman is most likely a witch! And the more than 100 innocent and tragic deaths in Chang'an City must have nothing to do with that witch!"

"Veiled woman?" Xu Ke thought intently, as if he had seen such a girl with a light veil on her face somewhere in Chang'an City, but for a while, he really couldn't remember that girl, where had he seen it?

"Senior brother, has Miss Yiqing ever said, what does that woman look like? How old is it? If this woman is indeed suspected of murder, I, Tsing Yi Wei, can send a sea fishing document and search the whole city!"

"It's useless!" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I listen to my senior sister's tone, this witch's origin must be not small, that night, even Murong Gongzi seems to be very jealous of her! Such a demon master, how can ordinary mortals deal with it?!

Hearing Li Yi mocking Tsing Yi Wei's incompetence, Xu Ke was also an inspector of thousands of households in Tsing Yi Wei after all, and his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Li Yi saw that Xu Ke's face was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly comforted:

"Senior brother, I'm talking about Shen Huan, but not you! This time, I ordered Shen Huan to go all out to catch demons, and gave him a ten-day deadline, I just want to see how much ability this Shen Huan has hidden, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to pay attention to ......"

Xu Ke said:

"Senior brother, according to the bad opinion of no disease, this cat demon is really not a bad person! Previously, she had indeed charmed several Chang'an men with the 'Art of Harmony', but she was not evil after all! Moreover, in Jinding Mountain, she also saved my life. Now, the senior brother has found out that the culprit who killed more than 100 Chang'an men is actually another witch. Senior brother, can you give an order to bypass this cat demon for the time being?"

Li Yi stared at Xu Ke with both eyes, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but flash a trace of worry on his face, and sighed:

"No disease! You must know that demons are demons, humans are humans, and it is difficult for humans and demons to coexist! If it weren't for the heavenly enchantment laid down by the ancient gods, it might have been invaded by demons long ago......

After a pause, Li Yi said again:

"Mao Jiaojiao once saved your life, which can only prove that she also had good thoughts about you in her heart at a certain moment, but Mao Jiaojiao is a cat demon after all, and since she is a demon, her nature is difficult to change! The occasional good thoughts are always difficult to change the nature of being the enemy of my human race! In the place where my Divine Continent is anointed, their demon clan has long coveted it...... This time, Mao Jiaojiao and Lu Huoli are two monsters, they sneaked into the Divine Continent and hid in my Daqian capital, which was originally ill-intentioned!"

Li Yi took another sip of jasmine tea, and then said:

"Senior brother, do you know what Mao Jiaojiao's companion, the other deer demon Lu Huoli, is doing right now?"

"By the way, Senior Brother, I was just about to ask you...... Xu Ke immediately asked, "Lu Huoli snatched my Divine King Order, right now, has he entered the Divine King Pavilion?" Senior Brother, will he be disadvantageous to the White Old Pavilion Master?"

"What 'Old White Pavilion Master'? Senior Brother, that's our master!" Li Yi said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's our master, that ...... Master, he's an old man, are you okay now?" Xu Ke asked worriedly.

Today's Xu Ke is already a disciple of the Tianzi Sect of the Divine King Pavilion, and in principle, Bai Wuming is naturally his master.

However, on the top floor of the Divine King Pavilion, Bai Wuming once wanted to teach Xu Ke wonderful magic skills, but Xu Ke at that time, for some reason, was unwilling to practice the exquisite stick method that Bai Wuming wanted to teach.

What's more, since Xu Ke received a subtle swordsmanship taught by "Yulu Weng" in the Yushan Grassland that day, he had silently regarded the white-haired old-timer as his own teacher, and he naturally had a resistance to others in his heart.

Therefore, to this day, Xu Ke's heart still respectfully calls Bai Wuming "Bai Lao Pavilion Master", but today he was forced by Li Yi's words, so he had to change his mouth and call him "master" again......

Li Yi laughed and said:

"Senior brother don't have to worry, just a deer demon, no matter how powerful the swordsmanship is, how can he be the master's opponent?! Right now, that Lu Huoli is still in the outer courtyard of the God King Pavilion, fighting hard with the stone lion guarding the door!"

"Lu Huoli is fighting hard with the stone lion guarding the door?" Xu Ke said curiously: "Senior brother, what's going on?"

So, Li Yi told Xu Ke about how Lu Huoli entered the outer courtyard of the Shenwang Pavilion and how he was trapped in the "Gatekeeping Array" outside Haoyuan, and how he was still struggling to fight with the two stone lions until this moment. Although Li Yi had never seen these things with his own eyes, after listening to his master Bai Wuming relay them, his heart was as if he had seen them in person.

After hearing this, Xu Ke said with great wonder in his heart:

"Senior brother, this Lu Huoli is not only the national teacher of Xiao State, but also the famous 'Flowing Frost Sword Immortal', his martial arts are also quite remarkable, that day I was in the cave of Jinding Mountain, and he only made a move, and he clicked on my acupuncture points! Why is he in the outer courtyard of the Shenwang Pavilion, he can't fight two stone lions?......

Li Yi smiled and asked: "Senior brother, you and I have personally experienced the 'Gate-Guarding Array' set up by the master at the gate of Haoyuan, how did you live that day with the two stone lions guarding the door?"

Xu Ke thought for a moment, and immediately replied: "On that day, when I held the Xuantie God King Decree in my hand, I just took a picture of the two stone lions, and the stone lions fell to the ground and turned into a pair of town house divine beasts in front of the big iron gate...... The two stone lions that day didn't seem to be fighting with me!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Senior brother, the truth is in it! The intention of the 'Gate Guarding Array' set up by our master is to test the character of the person who is entering the door. If the initiator is a person with a good heart and a strong character, with a clear mind and no evil thoughts, he only needs to hold the Divine King Decree in his hand, and the stone lion will naturally fall down obediently, and will not arouse the slightest hostility towards him...... But if those demonic outsiders want to try to fool themselves and sneak into the Divine King Pavilion, those two stone lions will give him a good meal!"

"I see...... Xu Ke recalled the situation that day, and couldn't help but be secretly glad that he was able to enter the Haoyuan smoothly at that time.

Li Yi said again: "Do you know how that Lu Huoli faced the master's 'Gate Guarding Array'? When he saw two stone lions rushing towards him, he was so anxious that he forgot the Divine King Order in his arms, and only knew how to raise his sword to greet him. Since the stone lion guarding the door had already found out Lu Huoli's hostility, he naturally refused to let him go, because until this moment, Lu Huoli was still struggling with the stone lion! It's ridiculous that this frosty old monster thinks that he is good at swordsmanship, so he doesn't take everything in the world in his eyes, how can he know that the two stone lions that the master laid in the outer courtyard of the Divine King Pavilion are actually just illusions......

"Is it just an illusion?" Xu Ke couldn't help but be very curious: "According to Senior Brother's meaning, those two stone lions can't actually hurt Lu Huo in the slightest, he only needs to put down the long sword in his hand, and he can perceive that the stone lion in front of him is nothing more than a phantom ear?"

"Exactly!" Li Yi said: "Senior brother should be able to remember that since you entered the first floor of the Divine King Pavilion, you have seen a 'Water Moon Old Man', that old man has infinite means, he can trap you in all kinds of illusions with just a wave of his hand. In fact, these are all the illusions of the master, and the 'old man of the water moon' is just a doppelganger of the master......"

"'Old Man Shuiyue' is a doppelganger of the master?" Xu Ke then said in surprise: "Then, in the Divine King Pavilion, there are also 'Mirror Flower Niang', 'Void Boy', and 'Cloud Shadow Real Man'...... Are the rest of the people all doppelgangers of the master?"

This time, in the face of Xu Ke's question, Li Yi chose to laugh and not speak, naturally, for the rest of the questions, Li Yi wanted Xu Ke to slowly understand by himself.

Xu Ke immediately realized:

"No wonder! I always felt that in the Divine King Pavilion, no matter who guarded the pavilion on every floor, there seemed to be a common characteristic on their bodies, and I couldn't think of it at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed the case! Every floor of the Pavilion there seems to be transformed by illusion...... It seems that the master's illusion is really amazing!"

Li Yi picked up the teacup, took a leisurely sip of fragrant tea, learned his master's tone, and said slowly:

"Everything in this world is originally an illusion, and how can those mortals in the world know what they see in their eyes and what they hear in their ears, what is true and what is false? Perhaps, everything in the world is originally true and false, and false is true. Senior brother, what you see in the Divine King Pavilion may not be all illusions!"

"Thank you senior brother for mentioning it, after you go back without illness, you must carefully understand the truth!" Xu Ke stood up and bowed to Li Yi.

At this moment, it is almost the end of the time, and when the time first comes, he sees that the day has passed in a hurry, although Xu Ke still has many questions in his heart, but seeing that the time is too late, he does not want to bother anymore, so he got up and said goodbye.

Li Yi sent Xu Ke outside the gate of the palace, and when he was leaving, he earnestly told him:

Monsters have coveted the fertile soil of my Divine Continent for a long time! This time, the two demons of deer and cat came to Chang'an, with the intention of snatching the Xuanhuang Divine Sword of my great strength! This divine sword is not trivial, and it has the power to pierce the enchantment of the heavens of Shenzhou, so it can be seen that if the monsters cannot enter our Divine Continent for a day, they will not die for a day! Senior disciples must not lose their righteousness because of small kindness, and they must not take those monsters lightly at any time!

Xu Ke was silent and bowed in agreement.

......

......

After a moment of light, Xu Ke returned to his mansion in Liquanfang, and he walked softly into the back garden, preparing to return to his "Honghu Residence" and fall asleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the back garden with his front foot, he heard Hu Yiyi call to him with his back foot:

"Xiao Wuxi, you're back!"

"Sister Hu, why don't you go to sleep yet?"

Xu Ke saw that Hu Yiyi was still sitting in the Wenyu Pavilion in the back garden at this time, and couldn't help but be puzzled.

At this time, it was already the fifth hour of the fifth month of May.

Hu Yiyi sighed and said:

"Xiao Wuxi, my sister was lying on the bed, and somehow, I couldn't sleep! ”

"What's wrong, sister, what's on her mind?"

"When I think of the ninth sister, my heart is extremely panicked, as if the ninth sister will have an accident immediately......!

After saying that, Hu Yiyi immediately stood up and walked to the front hall with an anxious expression.

Xu Ke hurriedly stopped:

"Sister Hu, it's too late tonight! Now that it's a child, Chang'an City is full of forbidden troops checking the night, and my sister is a lone woman, so it's really inconvenient to go out at this time! Not to mention ......" The rest of the words, Xu Ke was a little speechless.

Hu Yiyi naturally heard the meaning of Xu Ke's words, just half a month ago, the Son of Heaven had secretly ordered Nangong to be silent, and brought a large number of people to Xu's mansion to catch demons. At this time, although the current has passed, the matter of the two demons hidden in the Xu Mansion is already known to everyone. If at this time, Hu Yiyi violated the curfew and went out privately, in case of repeated conflicts with the forbidden army, and those who had good deeds passed on the crime of "the demons of Xufu went out privately in the middle of the night and harmed the people of Chang'an", he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.

However, Hu Yiyi had already thought of this. Therefore, when she waited for Xu Ke for a long time in the Wenyu Pavilion in the back garden, her intention was to let Xu Ke accompany her out and go to Balinyuan in the northwest of Chang'an to find her ninth sister Mao Jiaojiao. Hu Yiyi also knew that although she was just a woman, the forbidden army could not let her walk in Chang'an City in the middle of the night at will, but Xu Ke's body, but there was a "gold-inlaid tiger card" of thousands of households, and with that waist card that could travel unhindered everywhere, why worry that there would be a forbidden army to intercept her? !

However, Xu Ke saw Hu Yiyi hesitating to himself, but then relieved:

"Sister Hu, don't worry! Your ninth sister is superb, and there are not many people in Chang'an City who can catch her! What's more, the place where she is hiding at the moment is in Balin Plain, forty miles northwest of Chang'an City. It's sparsely populated, and there are caves everywhere, and she just needs to find a place to hide from anyone! At this time, who else will be against her?......

At this time, Xu Ke only felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and he couldn't help but reach out and yawn, and said:

"If my sister is not at ease, tomorrow morning, after I get up, I will not go to Weili first, and I will accompany my sister to find Mao Jiaojiao first, okay?"

Hu Yiyi looked at Xu Ke's sleepy face, knowing that he had to get up at midnight today, and now even if he returned to the room and fell asleep, he would only have three hours to sleep at most. She had no choice but to nod helplessly and said:

"Okay! Sister promises you, I'll go to Balin Yuan tomorrow!

......

After Xu Ke left, Hu Yiyi looked up at the sky again, and saw that among the stars in the sky, there seemed to be a small meteor that had quietly fallen!

Hu Yiyi felt a panic in her heart, she couldn't help but walk to the front yard, and when she walked to the gate of Xu's mansion, she still stopped.

With her thousand-year-old fox demon skills, she coped with a few forbidden troops patrolling the night, and wanted to step out of Chang'an City from Liquanfang, which was naturally no problem. However, at this moment, the only thought in her heart is that she still doesn't want to let her "reckless act", which will damage Xu Ke's innocent reputation.

Even if it will damage his reputation at all!

If she was a little careless and involved Xu Ke, which attracted the criticism of the court, saying that he connived at the demons of Xufu, violated the curfew law without authorization, went out without permission, and intended to harm the people of the capital, that is what Hu Yiyi is unwilling to do anyway......

So, Hu Yiyi sighed secretly, had to turn around, and went back to his hazelnut residence to rest.

Although Hu Yiyi and her clothes were lying on the soft couch, turning over and over again and unable to sleep, she was always worried in her heart, and always felt that the ninth sister was Jiaojiao, and something big was going to happen tonight!

......

......

Almost at the same moment, in the Balin Plain in the northwest of Chang'an City, Nangong walked silently for two hours before turning around and walking back towards Chang'an City.

He secretly swore in his heart that Mao Jiaojiao would never show up again tonight, and he would never come again in the future!

It seems that Mao Jiaojiao asked Xu Ke to give herself a "love token", which is purely a joke, Nangong also secretly said ruthlessly, if I see you again next time, the long sword in my hand will definitely give you a good look!

Nangong was silent, and beside him was a tributary of Weishui. He walked to the river, scooped up a handful of water, washed his hair and face, and kept his mind as clear as possible. He got up and looked up at the sky above him, and estimated that at this moment, it was about two o'clock in the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month......

Nangong couldn't help but sigh silently, he looked at the river again, and by the dim starlight, he saw the handsome face in the river, which was moving slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of self-pity in his heart.

I miss Nangong silently, spending more than 30 years in vain, and now I suddenly meet my beloved, but I really don't know, in this life, can I have the honor to be with her? I'm afraid, no matter how motivated my Nangong is, I won't be able to win the princess's heart in this life!

Suddenly, Nangong was silent, but in the slight ripples of the river, another woman's face suddenly appeared! That face appeared silently behind him, like a ghost......

Nangong was shocked, it was not trivial, he immediately turned around and exclaimed:

"Who are you?"

Under the starlight, he could see clearly that what stood in front of him was Mao Jiaojiao, who fought with him for more than 200 rounds with a whip that day.

"Brother Nangong, don't be afraid! it's me...... I'm Jiaojiao!" I only heard Mao Jiaojiao's soft and soft voice, which had come to him.

At this time, Mao Jiaojiao, her eyebrows are curved and slender and long, her eyes are deep and bright, her waist is as light as catkins, her skin is like autumn frost, and her body is radiating a breathtaking light.

In Nangong Bu's eyes, Mao Jiaojiao in front of her was in a trance like a fairy in the world, and compared to the fairy, she added thousands of charms and charms......

Mao Jiaojiao moved lightly, slowly floating towards Nangong silently, the evening breeze lifted her skirt long, she was dressed in snow-white clothes, fluttering under the starry sky, this is not a fairy in the world, but who is it?!

"Brother Nangong, you're finally here! Do you know that Jiaojiao thinks about you so hard!" Mao Jiaojiao's voice sounded again, and her eyes were always firmly fixed on Nangong's eyes.

"Jiaojiao! you are so good-looking! Nangong also thinks about you so hard!" Nangong was silent, and his voice was unusually gentle and lingering. When he saw Mao Jiaojiao floating towards him, he opened his arms, as if waiting for Mao Jiaojiao to fall into his arms......

Mao Jiaojiao walked to Nangong Buyu's side, her body was slightly on one side, like a ball of soft cotton wool, and fell softly into Nangong Buyu's arms, she stared at Nangong's eyes stupidly, laughed insolently, and called in a very charming and soft voice:

"Brother Nangong, Jiaojiao likes you, Jiaojiao likes you so much that she likes you so much that she is going crazy!"

"So Jiaojiao, Nangong also likes you the most!In this world, Nangong's favorite thing is you......" Nangong's silent eyes also stared at Mao Jiaojiao stupidly at this time, as if at this moment, there was only Mao Jiaojiao in his heart, and he had forgotten all the women!

Mao Jiaojiao lay down in Nangong's arms, her eyes rippling in spring, and her mouth was panting, and later, she whispered like a dream:

"Brother, hurry, untie the delicate clothes, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold......"

Nangong was silent and did not hesitate anymore, his hands moved together, and with only three or two strokes, all the clothes on Mao Jiaojiao's body were removed.

The two of them were at the foot of this Bashan Mountain, next to Weishui, and when they met in the middle of the night, they came to a "harmony and harmony Dafa" between men and women.

For a while, the two of them were all dressed up, and they were tumbling on the grass by the river, sometimes Wushan, sometimes clouds and rain, enjoying the joy of being a human being......

It turned out that after Mao Jiaojiao saw Nangong silent at first glance, she was inexplicably excited in her heart, and she couldn't help herself for a while, so she used her usual best "charm technique".

She calls herself "He Alloy Immortal", and this "charming" is already at the peak, even women in the world can't guard against her, not to mention that this Nangong Buyu is just an ordinary man?

Under Mao Jiaojiao's unparalleled "charming" attack, the defense line in Nangong Buyu's heart collapsed instantly. At this moment, in Nangong's heart, there is only the joy of clouds and rain, who cares about the heavens, earth, sun and moon beside him......
