Ping'an Jing imitates the pattern of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Suzaku Avenue connects to Suzaku Gate in the north and Rashomon Gate in the south. From north to south, it runs through the center of Ping'an Jing. ", to the west is Youjing, also known as "Chang'an".Youjing is low-lying, with swamps dotted all over it, almost a secluded ruin, sparsely populated, only a few poor families living here and there.

The disappearance of the daughter of the common people in Youjing, logically speaking, would not attract the attention of the nobles in Beijing. The family who lost their daughter swallowed their tears like this, but they did not expect that one day a noble noble warrior chased after her. A monster chased here, heard about this incident by accident, and said to those households in Youjing that he would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.

That noble noble warrior was Mr. Yuan Boya who was the official of the three empresses who were not in the council at that time.

"I was chasing a monster to Youjing. Who would have thought that several girls who had just passed the age of Jin disappeared in Youjing. Those families were all poor families. They were sad to lose their daughters, but they didn't know what to do. I watched for a while. If you don’t go, take this matter over.”

When Yuan Dongshi, He Mao Baoxian, Yuan Boya and Qingming drove to Youjing, Boya sighed and said, holding the bowstring at his waist, he said fiercely: "I didn't expect..."

Youjing is desolate and remote, not as prosperous as Zuojing, and the roads are also very perfunctory. The bumps along the way, Yuan Dongshi was a little dizzy from the shaking, squeezed the center of his eyebrows with one hand, and then used the cypress fan to open the corner of the imperial curtain. The untrimmed grass grows wildly against the sky, and occasionally a few low and dilapidated wooden houses can be seen, but the collapsed courtyard gates and walls all indicate that these houses have long been uninhabited.

Youjing is too desolate, and most of the people with certain conditions moved to the four main roads of Zuojing as much as possible.

She put down the imperial curtain, turned her head, and Boya was slamming her hand on the floor of the carriage, angrily said: "If I find out, whoever did it..."

"What if it's a monster." Yuan Dongshi said.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the other three people in the chariot looked at her. She coughed twice and continued: "Those girls disappeared for only a few days, but when they were found, only a skeleton remained. It will decay so quickly, it should be eaten by monsters. But if it is done by living people, I really can't figure out why these girls from poor families who are not as old as they are can provoke such people, and their flesh is scraped off .”

He Mao Baoxian nodded, and said: "Miss Persimmon is very reasonable. If it was done by a living person, what would you do by scraping off human flesh? Make broth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Dongshi said expressionlessly: "That's enough, Mr. Baoxian, if you keep talking, I can give up meat for a month."

He Mao Baoxian touched his nose and smiled.

When the ox cart reached Wutiaofangmen alley, it stopped. Boya held the bow in one hand and opened the curtain with the other, and jumped out of the ox cart first, followed by He Mao Baoxian and Qingming.

Yuan Dongshi was the last one to lift the chariot, and when she was about to get off, the imperial curtain of the chariot wiped the city girl's hat on her head to the other side. When she reached out to help, she saw a pair of white and slender hands stretched out. When she was in front of her, she paused while holding the bamboo hat, and when she looked up, she saw Qingming's smiling face.

She was taken aback for a moment, then heard Qingming say slowly: "Miss Persimmon, be careful to sprain your ankle."

Boya's bullock cart is no different from the bullock cart of the women's family. The cart is a little farther from the ground, and the men can jump off the cart boldly, but the pampered noble women will not tolerate their gaffes.

Yuan Dongshi raised his eyebrows at him through the thin hanging silk, and said, "Do you think I'll sprain my ankle?"

Qingming raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't think so." He said slowly, "I just want to help Miss Shizi get out of the car."

He was as usual, with the corners of his eyes upturned, and he smiled like a fox. In the past, when he smiled like this, Yuan Dongshi thought that something was wrong, but now he felt like his heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, Shi Nuli The hanging silk could more or less cover her reddened cheeks, she let out a breath as if she was extremely hot, and then put her hand on Qingming's.

Seimei's hand was slightly cool, which just rightly relieved Yuandong Shi's body temperature which seemed to have returned to midsummer at this moment.

She put one hand on Qingming's hand, and slowly got out of the car. The cow that was pulling the car flicked its tail and let out a moo. One side tilted, and she wanted to reach out to support the hat again, but Qingming had already reached out and pressed the top of her city hat with her absolute height advantage, and pressed it down. Yuan Dongshi felt that the city hat was going down. She took off the hoop, which made her forehead ache.

She raised her head angrily, but just in time saw the playfulness in Qingming's eyes.

Got tricked again.

Yuan Dongshi snorted.

And this time, He Mo Baoxian's slightly teasing voice came from not far away: "Qingming and Miss Shizi finished walking in the palace, and want to enjoy the scenery of Wutiaofangmen alleys together?"

Yuan Dongshi turned his head and saw that Baoxian Kamoo was leaning on a dead tree at the intersection with his arms folded, smiling at them, the cat lay on his shoulder again, its forked tail swaying slightly, He opened his mouth and yawned fiercely, then fell asleep on He Mao Baoxian's shoulder and neck.

There are several Boya attendants dressed as warriors at the edge of this wild forest, all staring at Yuan Dongshi and Seimei with curiosity in their eyes.

Yuan Dongshi twitched the corners of his mouth, then put his hands on the edge of his maiden hat, followed the attendants into the wild forest, and then heard Qingming's low laughter from behind him.

The bones of the wild forest on Wutiaofangmen Xiaolu were discovered by local people who came here to hunt. The hunter immediately found Boya's attendant who was visiting nearby. The attendant was about to get up and go to Zuojing to inform Boya. The attendants who patrolled along the gate path brought news that a pair of bones were found in the swamp near Jiutiaomen.

When Yuan Dongshi and his team arrived at the desolate forest at Wutiaofangmen, several families who lost their daughters had arrived, hugging each other and crying bitterly. A navy blue singlet made of coarse cloth.

Boya was standing next to the bones and questioning the people who found them. He was a middle-aged man with a simple face, and he was still wearing a thin undershirt in late autumn.

He guessed that he had never seen so many nobles at once, his face was a little nervous, and he stammered: "I just wanted to catch some small things back, and then I tripped over this thing..." He lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, " And scared to death."

Boya frowned, and said, "How can you be sure that these bones are those girls who disappeared some time ago?"

The middle-aged man said: "Clothes." He scratched the back of his head and said, "Although it's all melted into bones, there are still clothes on it, brand new, although I don't know which girl it is, but it is indeed nearby I've seen thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls wear them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the family who almost lost their daughter cried out, "Let me see the clothes and see if they belong to my family."

Before Boya could speak, a young man ran towards the corpse on the ground while wiping his tears. Several attendants were about to step forward to stop him, but Boya had already raised his hand to stop him. The young man ran to the side of the corpse , knelt on the ground, trembling hands, and lifted the navy blue singlet that covered the corpse.

Yuan Dongshi tilted his head to look, but saw a corner of the aster-colored sleeve exposed under the navy blue singlet, and the gray and white hand bones under the cuff.The moment the young man saw the sleeve, he was stunned for a moment, and then he punched the ground, and a cry of pain escaped from his throat.

Yuan Dongshi felt worried when he looked at it, presumably the corpse must be the relative of this young man.

At this time, a gust of bleak autumn wind blew slowly from the depths of the wild forest, gently lifted her drape, and she raised her head slightly, but saw a thin black cloud slowly drifting over the sky deep in the wild forest, blue and blue. The sky is getting narrower and narrower, almost being swallowed up by black clouds.

She felt that something was wrong, and when she was about to go forward to remind Boya, she heard the young man screaming just now. She suddenly turned her head to look, only to see the young man fell to the ground in extreme embarrassment, and the mask in front of him was covered in a hidden suit. The skeleton of the cyan single clothes sat up slowly, the single clothes slid off its head, revealing a grey-white and ferocious skull, and the Ziyuan single clothes on the skeleton.

This unlined garment is extremely gorgeous, elegant aster color, painted with the pattern of early oriole roosting white plums, the painting is extremely delicate and beautiful, making the dry and ferocious skeleton wrapped in this garment even more strange.

At this time, the sunlight was completely covered by the black clouds, and the two dark holes in the skull's eyes were directly facing the young man sitting beside him, and the skinny hand bones slowly protruded from the sleeves.

At this moment, the villagers who were crying with their heads in their arms all screamed and ran around. The young man seemed to have been frightened stupid, looking straight at the skeleton stretching out his hand bone in front of him.

Boya took the bowstring from his waist, took the feathered arrow from the quiver behind him, and put the feathered arrow on the bow. When he was about to shoot, Yuan Dongshi suddenly heard Qingming's voice behind him: "Boya three, wait a minute."

Yuan Dongshi turned his head, but saw Qingming and He Mao Baoxian walking side by side. He didn't smile on his face, his eyes were solemn, and he looked straight at the skeleton in the gorgeous single clothes. Boya turned his head and looked at him, Frowning, said: "Qingming, it turned into a monster."

Qingming went straight to the corpse, put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand side by side, chanted a spell softly against his lips, and then waved his sleeve. Qingming opened and closed his jaws, and then the skull tilted backwards, the whole skeleton seemed to lose its support, and fell down in an instant, and the gorgeous single clothes fell to the ground immediately.

Yuan Dongshi tilted his head and said, "It seemed to be talking to Qingming just now?"

He Mao Baoxian walked to Yuan Dongshi's side, and said, "It's thanking you."

"Thank you?" Yuan Dongshi looked sideways at him.

He Mao Baoxian just looked at Seimei not far away, and those bones scattered on the ground, shook his head and sighed.

After a long time, Qingming said in a deep voice, "This Ji Jun was skinned and cut alive to death."
