[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, March 30, Shenshi, the suburbs of the south of the city, Xianghu]

Today, Xu Ke followed Li Yi near Jinding Mountain and was busy for most of the day, but he still worked in vain.

He went out from the middle of the day, rushed to Jinding Mountain at noon, rode a horse with Li Yi, and ran around Jinding Mountain three times, but still did not catch the slightest breath of the cat demon.

Next, the two of them didn't care about eating, and walked to the top of Jinding Mountain hungry.

However, the two walked up and down Jinding Mountain for two more years, searching almost every corner of the mountain, Xu Ke even entered the cave where he rescued the seventeenth princess that day, and searched carefully, but still saw nothing.

The black tiger that day has long since disappeared, and in the cave, only the bones of those dead people remain, as if they are still telling the grievances of their unwarranted deaths......

Li Yi couldn't help but feel disappointed, he said to Xu Ke, no wonder ten days ago, the seventeenth sister and Murong Gongzi went to this Jinding Mountain to catch demons, but they returned in vain. Perhaps, the cat demon is not hiding here at all, Li Laodao of Xuandu Temple, there are thousands of calculations, and there are times when he miscalculates, this time, it may be that Li Laodao miscalculated!

Xu Ke thinks that with his understanding of Li Zhenren, the real person calculates that it is almost not bad, if Li Zhenren says that the cat demon is in Jinding Mountain, the cat demon must be here. They searched for demons twice in succession, perhaps because they neglected a certain place.

Xu Ke and Li Yi stood on the top of the mountain, looking from afar, only to see that ten miles away from the mountain, there is a huge lake, the lake water is clear and turquoise, rippling golden ripples in the sun, the scenery is actually beautiful!

Then the two of them went down the hill again, untied their horses, and went to the lake.

The horses galloped, and in an instant the two of them were on the shore of the lake. Xu Ke inquired with the farmers next to him, only to know that this lake is quiet and turquoise all year round, and there is always a fragrance floating on the surface of the lake, so the locals call this lake "fragrant lake".

Xu Ke saw that the surroundings of Xianghu Lake were full of camphor trees and willow trees, and all kinds of red flowers and green grasses were hidden among the trees. The spring breeze blows, the unknown fragrance of flowers and plants, mixed with the faint fragrance of camphor, comes in bursts, and the end is extremely fragrant!

The two then rode horses and ran around Xianghu again, but they still did not see the slightest strangeness.

The whole Xianghu Lake is not very large, and the radius is only more than 800 zhang, but the water is bottomless. The water of the lake is extremely clear, and Xu Ke looked at the bottom of the lake from the shore, but he couldn't see it at all.

The two of them rode on horseback, both of them secretly lucked their internal strength, and the true qi of the latent luck was at the end of the nose "Yingxiang", and they sniffed hard, but the lake was full of lush fragrance, where could they smell the breath of the demons?

Xu Ke said: "Senior brother, except for the bottom of this fragrant lake, we have already found everything we should be looking for, it's really not good, let's go back first!"

Li Yi looked up at the distant mountain, only to see that a touch of the slanting sun had slowly set, and it was almost unitary, however, he was still a little unwilling, so he said:

"Senior brother, stay on the shore for a while, and I'll dive down to the water to have a look!"

"Senior brother, this water is bottomless, and now it's the time of spring cold, so don't go down!"

"It's okay!"

Li Yigu dismounted himself, took off his clothes, and jumped into the water.

Xu Ke, as a native of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, although he has been familiar with water since he was a child, he asked him to dive into the bottom of this bottomless lake, and he thought that it would be difficult to do it no matter what.

I saw that after Li Yi jumped underwater, his hands and feet were stretched, his body flipped a few times, and he had already dived underwater, and he disappeared immediately.

Xu Ke had to get off the horse and stay on the shore to wait, but he walked around the water's edge and waited for nearly half an hour, only to see that the sunset was about to fall, and he couldn't help but feel anxious when he didn't see Li Yi surface.

He tied the two horses to the tree, unbuttoned his clothes, and was about to take off his clothes and plunge under the water to find his brother.

Unexpectedly, he had just taken off his blue robe, and suddenly saw a large wave surging on the surface of the water, Li Yi had floated lightly on the water like a swimming fish, and smiled loudly at Xu Ke:

"Senior brother, it's so cool! Do you want to come down and take a shower?"

"Senior brother, come up quickly!"

Li Yi secretly used light skills, turned his body vertically, and a clear and washable body, and jumped on the shore leisurely, Xu Ke hurriedly picked up Li Yi's clothes and put them on for him.

"Senior brother, is there anything unusual at the bottom of the lake?"

"I'm ashamed that I dived for a long time, but I still couldn't get to the bottom of the lake. ”

"How deep is the lake?"

"Bottomless!" 123 Reading Books.com

Li Yi wiped the water traces on his body, and after putting on his clothes, he said:

"I held my breath with internal strength, dived underwater, and went deep to 50 zhang, but I still couldn't see the bottom of the lake. I wanted to dive further, but my skills were limited, so I had to return to the surface. Next time, if the master goes out, he should be able to dive to the bottom of the lake......"

Xu Ke suddenly remembered the past, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Hey! I knew this was the case, so I brought the second brother's 'water bead'!"

"Avoid the water beads, junior brother, do you still have such treasures from the Dragon Palace on you?"

Xu Ke nodded and said, "That's after I crossed through the Divine King Pavilion, I used this thing with my second brother on Baqi Island in Yingzhou......"

"However, I don't know if there is still this bead hidden on the second brother at this time?"

"Senior brother, then you hurry back to the house to have a look! If you can find this bead, we will come back tomorrow!"

"...... tomorrow?" Xu Ke said in his heart, tomorrow at noon, isn't it the time of Mingyue's execution?

At this time, it is the beginning of the unitary period, and the sunset has gradually disappeared on the side of the mountain. Li Yi saw that he had dived under the Xianghu Lake, but he didn't see anything, and if he stayed here any longer, it was meaningless. So, the two of them got on their horses, beat their horses and galloped, and really went to Chang'an City!

On the way back to the city, both of them looked solemn, and there was nothing to say all the way, fortunately, both of them were healthy horses under their crotches, and at this moment they spread their four hooves and ran fast, only two moments later, they had arrived at the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City.

When the two entered the city gate, they gave up their own hands. Xu Ke went back to his mansion in Liquanfang, northwest of the country.

Along the way, Xu Ke kept thinking about a question in his heart.

What the hell do I have to do to save Mingyue?!

The one-day limit that the senior brother fought for has already passed for most of the day, and in another night, at noon tomorrow, Mingyue will have to be escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market, and it will be late in public!

In any case, I can't watch this poor girl being abused to death in public!

I knew that my senior brother couldn't persuade the emperor, so I might as well just go to the south prison with Sister Hu and them!

Mao Jiaojiao is outstanding, Sister Hu can do illusions, and I am Tsing Yiwei's inspector, the three of us join forces, can't we save a bright moon? !

However, today's situation has changed, but I didn't expect that Shen Huan's house suddenly handed over all those prisoners to Brother Nangong to take over, don't say that the edict of the Northern Division is not as good as the South Prison, the internal organs are heavy, and the defense is strict, even if I can rob Mingyue from the edict prison, can I bear to let Brother Nangong suffer for this?

Knowing this, I might as well not go to the table to impeach Yang Wenyuan. This letter was folded, and it only punished him for a year, which was not only meaningless, but it transferred Mingyue and them to the edict prison. Now if I rob Mingyue, I will inevitably implicate Nangong, if I don't rob Mingyue, what other way can I save her?

When Xu Ke thought of this, he immediately smiled bitterly in his heart, and at this time yesterday, he also severely reprimanded Hu Yiyi and strictly forbade them to go to the South Prison to rob the prison without permission. But once it was today, when the matter was really urgent, even he himself wanted to go to the North Prison to rob the prison in person! At different times, his thoughts were naturally different, and the world was really unpredictable!

Xu Ke thought like this, and as soon as he looked up, the horse had already walked to the door of Xu's mansion.

He dismounted and walked inside the gate, and Dong Laifu immediately ran and led the horse to the stables next to the front yard to feed it.

Xu Ke suddenly thought to himself, why don't I and Sister Hu trick Mao Jiaojiao into appearing, and then catch her and send her to the emperor, in exchange for the lives of the more than 100 people in Cuiyun Tower?

However, Xu Ke immediately extinguished this thought in his heart. Mo said that Hu Yiyi and Mingyue would not agree to him to do this, and even he himself could not agree, exchanging Mao Jiaojiao's death for the lives of more than 100 people.

He never thought it was "worthwhile" to exchange the lives of a few for the lives of the many.

Everyone has the right to live, Mingyue is like this, those girls in Cuiyun Tower are like this, and Mao Jiaojiao is the same!

King Han's death is at most related to Mao Jiaojiao, but it is really not her killing! Why should Mao Jiaojiao be killed?

Somehow, even Xu Ke himself never thought that at this moment, he actually had some sympathy for this "notorious" "He Alloy Immortal......

Xu Ke walked into the front hall, and it was already four o'clock.

As soon as he entered the antechamber, he heard the voice of an urn shouting:

"My old Zhu is dying of hunger! Why don't you eat?!"
