When the devil

The fire in Dongyang Academy burned all night.

Many officers and soldiers died tragically near the academy, and even the civilians who helped put out the fire last night were involved. When reinforcements from the Guo family rushed to the scene, they only found a young man covered in blood and blood. Other than that, there were no survivors.

The young man was regarded as the perpetrator and was directly detained by the Guo family and would not be handed over to any outsider for interrogation.

Guo Xianhou went crazy and ordered the officers and soldiers to search the ruins of the Academy over and over again, just to find something missing.

And that thing was the booklet that Shen Feihuan took away, and it was lying in the courtyard of Huajiang Pavilion at this moment.

And this matter is still fermenting. For some reason, suddenly there are rumors of ghosts killing their lives, and the family members of the victims are piled up outside the gate of Pingyangzong, a branch of Tailiyuan, demanding that the tragic death be dealt with as soon as possible. The person is performing soul sacrificing.

Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Li Yunyun took his favorite yueqin and ran to a crowded place to play and sing a song "Dead of night when people are searching for their souls, but Cheng's mansion is enjoying the wine".Thus, in just one morning, Ping Yangzong was pushed to the forefront.

At this time in Jinchuan, only Xia Dayao Xiazhou had the leisure to go to the sugar sculpture artist to transfer a zodiac "dog", holding it in his hand and looking it over and over again: "I wonder why there is no cat in the zodiac? "

And Wei Ling, who was beside him, had just finished reading the blood-stained booklet from beginning to end: "It seems that the Guo family can't just leave it alone."

"what happened?"

"This book records a lot of dirty money transactions, and even involves demon pills."

Wei Ling handed the brochure to Xia Zhou, Xia Zhou didn't reach out to take it, but just tilted his head and stared at the brochure: "You held it backwards."

Wei Ling threw the brochure in his face: "Hold it and read it yourself."

Ink Pond looked around for a long time, but there was no sign of Murong Chenhao, and a look of incongruous sadness appeared on his refreshed face: "Master, the people from Dongyang Academy must be the hands of Shen Feihuan, but outside There are always rumors about some evil ghosts, where did they come from! They are always making trouble around the uncle...even if Ping Yangzong can exorcise evil spirits...they can't exorcise evil ghosts! What should we do?"

Wei Ling frowned: "On the day when I first arrived in Jinchuan, the place I followed Shen Feihuan to was Dongyang Academy. At that time, the academy didn't let him in. He said harshly that he wanted to kill them all. I didn't expect him to do such a thing. point."

Mochi: "Why did Shen Feihuan go to Dongyang Academy to kill people?"

Wei Ling: "Maybe that booklet is what he's looking for."

Mo Chi was startled: "But why did he throw it to us?"

Wei Ling also felt strange. He asked Shen Feihuan that day, and the latter obviously didn't want to reveal more, but why did he throw this kind of thing at Huajiang Pavilion today?

Xia Zhou was too lazy to do it himself, taking advantage of no one else around, he simply raised a puff of black smoke in mid-air to help him flip through the booklet, and he couldn't help laughing after turning two pages: "Guo Xianhou must be out of his mind, he has done so much I still use the book to write down the shameful things, is it because I am worried that others will not catch it?"

Wei Ling said: "That Dongyang Academy may not belong to Guo Xianhou."

Mochi: "Master, what do you mean, someone is recording the evil deeds of the Guo family?"

Wei Ling thought about it, and said: "The academy has been burned down, I don't know what happened, but you can read the brochure."

As soon as Wei Ling said, Mochi looked over, nodded half-understanding and said, "There's a lot of blood on it."

Wei Ling: "No, there are numbers on this booklet."

Mochi did see a small serial number.

Wei Ling: "Guo Xianhou's record is only one of them. Dongyang Academy is likely to be doing some kind of transaction. They may have a neutral position... Maybe they are secretly manipulated by others."

Mo Chi nodded suddenly, not sure if he understood.

Today's weather is not good, with cloudy clouds above the head, but it is not like the haze before the rain. After the beginning of winter, the chill in the air continues to increase, turning into a kind of breathless depression piled up in the bottom of my heart.

Wei Ling asked Xia Zhou: "There is still no news from Chen Hao?"

Mo Chi looked up at Xia Zhou, as if waiting for his answer.

Xia Zhou said: "If his body was not found in front of Dongyang Academy, he might be the one who was taken away by the Guo family."

"What?!" Mo Chi was shocked.

Wei Ling was puzzled: "What did you ask him to do...?"

Xia Zhou: "Follow Shen Feihuan."

Wei Ling: "..."

The last time it was about the selection of a concubine by the Guo family, Murong Chenhao had been on the move all the time. During this process, he happened to discover Shen Feihuan's traces, and he reported the truth to Xia Zhou. Murong Chenhao tit for tat——

Xia Zhou looked at him: "If the Guo family catches Murong Chenhao, they will come to the door soon, Ah Ling, do you still remember that I told you that the eyes of the Guo family are everywhere in Jinchuan City."

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Xia Zhou hadn't finished his last sentence for a moment, and a servant ran over in a panic, saying that Guo Xianhou had brought his men!

Soon, a large group of officers and soldiers poured into the Jianghua Pavilion, skillfully blocking every entrance and exit. A golden canopy directly in front of them came into view first, and then a big fat man and a small fat man walked below.

You don't need to guess, the big fat man is Guo Xianhou, and the little fat man is Guo Jianchao, whom you haven't seen for a long time.

It's just that these two people didn't come here with their heads high and high like the rumors. When they walked up to Wei Ling, they both lowered their bodies and saluted: "I'm Xia Guo Xianhou, this is the child Guo Jianchao, please refer to Tianyu Xianzun—"

A cold light flashed in Wei Ling's eyes, as if he understood everything in an instant.

"You are so confused! In Liuli Mountain, the immortals helped you repeatedly, but you didn't know about it! Sigh!" Guo Xianhou said with a look of resentment.

"I, I see that Master Wei is very skilled, and I admire him very much, and now I know that Master Wei is actually a Tianyu Immortal... I am really stupid, really stupid!" Guo Jianchao bowed deeply and said goodbye dare not lift it up,

Wei Ling knew that this catastrophe would definitely be impossible to avoid, and her words were still gentle: "I have lost my immortality. If the two adults can call each other by name, Wei will be very grateful."

Guo Xianhou clasped his hands and bowed to the sky: "Your name is bestowed by the emperor, how dare you offend me at will."

While they were talking, Xia Zhou had already finished eating the plastic dog candy. He changed his posture, put his hands behind his head, and laid his two long legs comfortably on the stone table, lying on his back with his eyes closed. repose.

Guo Xianhou glanced at him several times, but was ignored by him as nothing, seemingly losing face, but turned to Wei Ling and made an apologetic smile: "Wei Xianzun, I have something to do here today, and I don't want to go around in circles, let's just talk about it." ——Yesterday, the Dongyang Academy was on fire, and we rescued a person near the academy. He was seriously injured and was still in a coma... The official used his contacts to find out that he is the acquaintance of the Immortal Venerable."

Mo Chi leaned forward, wanting to say something, Wei Ling stretched out his hand to block him, he understood it, and hastily pursed his lower lip, leaving only a pair of annoyed eyes staring at Guo Xianhou.

What happened one after another caused Mochi to have an inexplicable resistance to the Guo family. He was still too young, and his emotions were written all over his face.No matter how straight-forward his mind was, Guo Xianhou's face that made it clear that he wanted to use Murong Chenhao as a threat was enough to make his patience fall to the bottom.

"Wei Da...uh, Wei Xianzun, brother Murong has done me a favor, the Guo family should repay him, and now they have specially invited a doctor to help him heal his injuries." Guo Jianchao said politely, as if he was a bit afraid: " Exactly, just right, today the Guo Mansion plans to hold a banquet in honor of Wei Xianzun, I wonder if the Xianzun will show his face?"

Obviously, what they were afraid of was not Wei Ling, but Xia Zhou who had never said a word from the beginning to the end. Guo Jianchao had seen Xia Zhou's abilities in Liuli City, and even worshiped Xia Zhou as a god. This time when he returned to Jinchuan, he spent the night telling his father the whole story, and his father was very suspicious of Xia Zhou's identity.

Wei Ling said: "Master Inspector loves you, Wei is more respectful than obedient."

Guo Xianhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped aside: "Where is it, it is a great honor for the next official to be here in person! Please."

After saying this, the stone table next to him was suddenly kicked away, and there was only a clanging sound in his ears, and the table above fell to the ground, leaving only a pier with smoke and dust falling in front of Guo Jianchao, Guo Jianchao was stunned It took a full half a moment before he yelled "Ouch!" and fell to the ground in fright, and his two black and white eyes opened wide, looking at Xia Zhou beside Wei Ling as if he had seen a ghost.

The surrounding officers and soldiers all stepped forward, relying on the fact that there were too many people, and the whole encirclement was tightened inward.

Xia Zhou stared at Guo Xianhou: "Whoever sees me has a share."

Guo Xianhou is also an old fox who often walks in the officialdom. It is best for Xia Zhou not to move, and vice versa. In the end, he can still raise the corners of his mouth and smile calmly: "Since I am a friend of the Immortal Venerable, I will naturally welcome you. The three of you please."

With Xia Zhou leading the charge, Mo Chi resolutely abandoned his beloved master and stood next to Xia Zhou. Wei Ling gave him a sideways glance. He was still very innocent, as if he had suffered a great grievance just now.

***

The Guo family mansion is located in the middle of Jinchuan, surrounded by rivers on all sides. Water is drawn from the river, across the northeast, and finally flows into the main river.

It is more like a majestic palace than a mansion. Entering from the main entrance, you can see the magnificent buildings on the white marble platform, with brown glazed tiles and double eaves on the roof. The corridor is five rooms wide and three rooms deep.There is a spacious platform in front of the hall, and the corridors are connected to the left and right. The overall area is wide and the height is more than ten feet.

Guo Xianhou explained that in the early years, Jinchuan City was just a small country on the outskirts of Zhaoguo. This palace was the residence of the kings at that time. Later, due to annexation, the first emperor liked this unique structure and deliberately kept it.

The rough introduction along the way was nothing more than to divert attention. On the way, Mochi mentioned that he wanted to see Murong Chenhao's condition, but Guo Jianchao responded that he was still recuperating after taking the medicine, and it would be more appropriate to go and see him later.

At this time it was still early and it was not time for the banquet, but the banquet had already been set in the main hall, Guo Xianhou personally took the three of them to the seats, but after entering the hall, there were already many people waiting for them, greeting each other, it was quite an illusion that they had returned to the palace.

At first glance, everyone here is a general. It is said that the Guo family has nearly 50 military power, which seems to be true.And one of them, Wei Ling felt familiar, suddenly remembered that this person was a soldier of Yang Fan's branch, but he couldn't remember the name for a while.

Guo Xianhou walked to the brass high chair directly in front of him and sat down, beckoning, and the maids presented empty glasses one after another, as if they didn't intend to pour wine.

"Master, with such a big battle, can we win?" Mo Chi fidgeted beside him.

Wei Ling didn't look at him, but said, "Speak less."

Mo Chi pursed his lips, looked past Wei Ling, and looked at Xia Zhou who was sitting on the other side of Wei Ling.

Xia Zhou was sitting right next to the pillar, God helped him, he had another place to lean on.

"Recently there has been some chaos in Jinchuan City, and I let Xianzun see the joke. I have been ordered by the emperor to escort Xianzun back to the palace safely. Before that, I would like to ask Xianzun to condescend to Guo Mansion for the time being. I will make arrangements as soon as possible." appropriate."

Guo Xianhou's first sentence was to clarify the words.

Wei Ling was not surprised, but responded calmly, "How is Your Majesty?"

Guo Xianhou said: "Thanks to the blood given by the immortal, your majesty's dragon body is healthy and healthy, and it still looks like a standing body in the year of knowing its fate. This is a sign of longevity."

When he said this, countless eyes naturally fell on Wei Ling during the dinner - including Xia Zhou's.

"The Immortal Venerable is really a god descending to earth!" The general sitting opposite looked at Wei Ling's face and said, "Seeing you today is really an eye-opener. The general thinks he is ordinary, but he never thought that there will be a day when he realizes His Majesty's intentions." ,Hahaha."

"No, when I first came in, I thought Mr. Guo invited some kind of fairy."

"It's no wonder that the Wannian Hall has not allowed people to enter, I am afraid that the fragrance of the immortal is polluted by the world."

Most of the military generals were born reckless, and they didn't care about what they said. During the banquet, there were thousands of words with unconcealable smiles. Fortunately, Mochi couldn't understand, but their bursts of laughter made people inexplicably angry. Looking at Wei Ling next to him, from head to toe Wei didn't say a word, and Mochi could only follow him, silently waiting for those vulgar people to have their fun.

Wei Ling understood one thing. The group of generals in front of him not only underestimated him, but also ignored Emperor Gu Xiao.

What's more, a few days ago Gu Yuan said that the emperor was not in good health, but today Guo Xianhou said something else, neither of them needed to lie about this kind of matter.There are only two possibilities: one is that there are very few people who know about the emperor's illness, and Guo Xianhou will naturally not know about the changes in the palace only by relying on the book.The second is that Guo Xianhou deliberately concealed the matter. Judging from the reaction of the generals in front of him, it is speculated that Guo Xianhou can be regarded as half of the emperor of the earth. He is so bold and ostentatious, probably because he knows that the sky in the imperial city is about to change.

If it was the latter, he probably had other plans for inviting Wei Ling here.

"Hahaha, just kidding, everyone, the immortal is not a daughter, no matter how much you praise, you can't hug a beauty." Guo Xianhou put an end to this absurd opening, full of profanity inside and outside, but in the end it was to let Xi The laughter fell to the bottom.

Xia Zhou didn't speak, his eyes fell on Wei Ling and he couldn't move away.

Today, he wears his hair vertically in a silver crown, meticulous and clean. Looking from the direction of Xia Zhou, those eyelashes are fine and soft, casting mottled light and shadow on his quiet eyes. The most disturbing place is the eyelashes Wei Ruo has a seemingly non-existent charm, which is completely opposite to his innate desolate temperament. He sits there quietly, but he is in a state of attracting bees and butterflies. Treat him as a prey, deal with him until he is exhausted, and then slowly divide him up and eat him.

Xia Zhou thinks that he is the person who knows Wei Ling the most, not only for his never-ending appearance, but also for the temperature of his skin and the smell of flesh and blood.The seal of his contract is engraved on that beautiful body, every drop from hair to blood can only belong to him.

Wei Ling looked at Guo Xianhou, and said docilely: "Master Inspector is surrounded by so many beauties, Wei doesn't dare to be one."

"Master Wei is too modest. At the border, you and our General Bai were two flowers in the eyes of the soldiers! It's a pity, tsk tsk, they are both flowers of Gaoling."

This sentence did not come from anyone else, it was the Snow Wolf Army soldier in Yang Fan's team.

Another person answered: "General Zheng, that Bai Lie of your Snow Wolf Army is so handsome, what a waste...!"

General Zheng.

Wei Ling suddenly remembered - he is Zheng Yulu.
