Chapter 3: The Girl in the Sky

Yang Jian glanced at Han Jiangliu with his eyes, and hurriedly replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the gate of the Demon Town Tower is locked, the doors and windows are undamaged, and there will be no one." And I'm afraid that if the demon fairy at the bottom of the floor takes the opportunity to escape, it will damage our Great Song Dynasty's Jiangshan Society. ”

"Hmm. Song Huizong's anger rested for a while, and he felt that Yang Jian's consideration of the problem was still more comprehensive than Han Jiangliu's, but at this moment, caring about his beloved daughter was better than caring about the heart of the Great Song Jiangshan.

Song Huizong said: "Yang Jian, you give the key to the Demon Tower to Han Jiangliu. ”

"Thisβ€”"

"If I want you to hand it over, you will hand it over. ”

"Yes. ”

Yang Jian was helpless, took the key off his waist, found one, and handed it to Han Jiangliu.

Han Jiangliu stretched out his hand to take it.

Song Huizong said again: "Yang Jian, you take people to all the palaces and courtyards to ask, maybe the princess is naughty, and it is unknown if she goes somewhere else." ”

Yang Jian said: "Yes, so please let Your Majesty be lenient, don't worry too much." ”

Song Huizong said: "Over there in the Demon Tower, Han Jiangliu will go alone, uh, do you want to bring a few servants?"

"Not necessarily. Han Jiangliu said. He thought to himself: If the servant with him is as troublesome as Yang Jian, it is really better not to bring it.

Song Huizong waved his hand, and the two dispersed.

Outside the dormitory.

Yang Jian said to Han Jiangliu: "Boy, if you dare to make any trouble in the Demon Town, be careful that you have no place to be buried." ”

Han Jiangliu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Yang Jian said such serious words.

Yang Jian said again: "Be careful that your whole family has no good results." ”

Han Jiangliu said: "I will care." Turning around, thinking all the way: What is the secret in this town demon building?

The time was not long, and Han Jiangliu came to the back garden of Qinglu Palace.

At this time, there were only a few people in Qinglu Palace to watch the house, and the rest of the people were scattered elsewhere to continue looking for people.

In the back garden, two palace maids guarded the gate of the garden.

Han Jiangliu said: "On the emperor's orders, go to the town demon building to verify the situation. ”

The two palace maids dodged sideways.

Han Jiangliu stood in front of the town demon building and looked at this building carefully, but saw that this building was three stories high, made of bricks and stones, thick and simple, and extremely incommensurate with the elegant environment of soft flowers and vines around.

The strangest thing is that the glittering golden light on the second floor is now gone.

Could it be that there is any treasure on the second floor, and who stole it? I really should have asked the emperor just now.

Han Jiangliu held the key in his hand and stepped on the steps of the Town Demon Tower.

In the dust on the steps, two lines of his shallow footprints remained.

Han Jiangliu took out the key, and with the other hand held the huge lock on the door. He stuck the key in the keyhole, only to hear a click. The lock spring pops out and the lock is opened.

Because of the age, the lock has rusted, and Han Jiangliu took a lot of effort to pull the lock open. Stretching out his hands to pull the door knocker, the door opened in response to his hand, and a musty smell came to his face.

There is a window in the black hole in the demon building, but the window is very small, and a ray of sunlight barely penetrates, full of weird and grotesque feelings.

Han Jiangliu stepped in, and shouted as he walked: "Princess Linglong, are you inside?Princess Linglong, are you inside?"

When his voice reached this town demon building, it seemed to come from another person's throat, and it was completely different from his own voice.

On the first floor, there is only one stone table, and there is a stone niche on the stone table, which enshrines the demon charm written by Lin Lingsu in the words of Yang Jian.

The demon charm is made of gold leaf as paper and jade shavings as ink. The words written are ticked back and forth, not Chinese characters.

Han Jiangliu couldn't understand it, and saw that it had nothing to do with the princess, so he climbed the stairs and went upstairs.

The second floor is slightly smaller than the first floor, and the interior of the house is hexagonal, and it is also empty, not even a table.

However, what was the golden light that Fang saw downstairs?

The darkness in the room, a ray of sunlight shining in, still could not make up for the darkness.

Han Jiangliu walked along the hexagonal wall, and when he walked to the west, he vaguely saw words written on the wall.

I couldn't see it clearly in the haze, but when I touched it carefully, I found that the word was not written, but engraved.

Han Jiangliu used his hand to identify word by word, and saw that the inscription on the wall was: July 15 of the first Wu year, Bon Festival, look at each other, and get married forever.

July 15, Halloween. Forever united?

Who is forever united with whom, why should it be set on such a strange day?

The first year of the first year has not yet arrived.

The first year of the first year is three years later, and today is the third day of the fifth month.

In other words, three years later, on Halloween, a man and a woman will be united forever.

What does that mean?

I really can't figure it out.

And when Han Jiangliu touched the side of those words again, he touched a long strip-like symbol, not a text, no kind of text in the world is that long.

It has a handle at one end and a tip at the other, as if it were a sword.

Is that a sword?

Probably.

Han Jiangliu turned a thought in her heart: This may indeed be a sword, Princess Linglong once came to a demon tower, she may have been robbed here, and now she was taken away by the person who robbed her, and this sword is the mark left by the person who robbed her.

Some robbers are like this, they always like to leave some marks at the crime scene.

Han Jiangliu touched the hilt of the sword symbol with his hand, trying to align his palm at the hilt.

This symbol was drawn very accurately, like a sword used by ordinary people, when Han Jiangliu's palm and hilt were fully touched.

Something strange happened, and the sword began to glow with golden light, just like the golden light he had just seen under the tower outside.

It turns out that it is the thing that shines.

After the golden light flashed, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.

In the two-story tower, it was dark again.

Han Jiangliu stepped to the top of the third floor to have a look.

However, the staircase on the third floor was sealed, and it was a large, thick wooden plank that sealed the staircase. The planks were firmly nailed to the walls on both sides with steel nails.

In addition, seals were affixed to the joints between the boards and the walls.

The seal is written in low yellow with some strange black letters on it.

It wasn't a Chinese character, and Han Jiangliu didn't know it, but he could confirm that these black characters were the same as those enshrined in the stone niche on the table on the first floor.

Could it be that this is the place to suppress the demon immortals?

Could it be that the demon fairy is on the third floor, not under the base of the tower as he has always imagined?

It's possible.

Han Jiangliu decided to go to the third floor to find out, but the steel nails were densely covered with thick wooden boards, and Han Jiangliu couldn't quickly take them all out with the strength of his hands.

Han Jiangliu walked to the balcony outside the tower and looked up, the tower was not high, and the distance between each floor was less than the length of two adults.

Han Jiangliu decided to jump from the balcony on the second floor to the balcony on the third floor with his light body kung fu. He tiptoed to the ground, and was just about to take off into the air, when he suddenly heard a palace maid's voice shouting, "Xiao Wang, are you here to deliver chickens again?"

Han Jiangliu was very vigilant, and immediately stood firmly on his feet, standing in place, and when he looked back, he saw that below, a palace maid guarding the back garden was talking to another person pushing a cart.

The man was dressed as a servant, pushing a two-wheeled cart that was not too big, and in the cart was a cage with some chickens crammed around, far away, and the number of chickens was not clear, but there were at least seven or eight.

I only heard the little king of the cart say: "It is really suitable to sell the chicken to the palace, the price is more, and there is extra money." ”

The palace maid smiled and said: "The price will naturally not be less, and if you help the court do things, naturally no one will suffer." ”

Xiao Wang said: "Then who suffers in the end?"

The palace maid said: "No one suffers, everyone gets rich." ”

Xiao Wang said: "But your Princess Linglong is also very powerful, and you can eat twelve chickens in a few days." I remember the last time I delivered chickens, it was only three days ago. ”

The palace maid said, "Our princess is very powerful. ”

The two chatted for a few days, and every word of the chat entered Han Jiangliu's ears.

Han Jiangliu became more and more strange: What kind of person is this Linglong princess? I heard rumors from the outside world that the princess looks like a fairy, and there is no one more beautiful than her in the whole world. However, her appetite was so large that it was appalling enough, eating a cart of watermelons for two days and twelve chickens for three days.

If it's not a legend that is false, then there must be a monster next to the princess, secretly helping the princess eat. Even, that monster has possessed the body of Princess Linglong.

It's a terrible thing.

For the emperor's peace of mind and the stability of the court, it is an unshirkable responsibility to rescue the princess by himself.

Thinking of this, stabilize his mind, and once again exert his toe strength, ready to jump up to the third floor of the Town Demon Building to find out.

When the Hanjiang willow rose into the air, the sunset in the west was full of red clouds, and it was beautiful.

Han Jiangliu suddenly found out from the corner of his eye that under the reflection of the setting sun, the long shadow was left on the platform on the second floor.

However, next to his own shadow, there was another shadow.

And one more person, next to himself?

Han Jiangliu's mind changed rapidly, and he said in his heart: This is a life-and-death moment, the person who comes is not good, and now he is either dead or I am dead. At the moment, he turned into a strange plan, kicked out with his left foot, and stepped on the window lattice of the town demon building, which was used to borrow strength.

And the right foot was quickly kicked out, in the opposite direction of the shadow, that is, to the west, hoping to take this opportunity to see who was standing next to him.

I heard a cry from the ground, and a woman's voice screamed.

Yes?

Han Jiangliu thought: Could it be that I kicked Princess Linglong?

The right foot has not been withdrawn, the left foot has not yet been steady, and the person in front of him has been quickly recognized.

This person's body was fluttering and staggering, and she actually stopped in mid-air, and she would stop the law of the clouds.

The person in front of him is a girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, lively and pretty, apricot eyes and peach mouth, and she can be regarded as a middle-class person in terms of appearance, but she is far from reaching the level of being the most beautiful in the world, captivating the city and then the country.
