In March of late spring, the smoke cage in Chang'an, a layer of water mist like a veil filled the city.

In the afternoon, there was a patter of rain, and the color of the willows in the city was like washed, with vibrant green, the flowers were covered with rain, and the petals fell to the ground. Under the eaves, it rained dīng dīng dōng dōng, and the water vapor rolled into the Prosperous Celebration Palace.

Concubine Yang Gui was leaning on the soft couch in a trance, Yang Guozhong was half wet in the rain, sitting aside, and personally wiped a piece of gilded glaze with a silk paw. There was a lifelike golden dragon carved on it, with five claws entwined, grabbing two sealed glass cups, the cups were filled with gray sand, but when looked closely, found that it was a mixture of black and white sand.

"...Deng Tong was once rich in the world, who would have thought that he would starve to death on the street? Shang Yang was so famous throughout his life that he could not escape the fate of five horses..."

"Stop talking." Yang Guozhong put down Sipa, looked at Yang Yuhuan, frowned and said, "Is it interesting?"

"I'm in a hurry." Yang Yuhuan said happily, "Brother, you don't know how the outsiders talk about us. They all say that the Yang family are monsters!"

Yang Guozhong was angry in his eyes, but Yang Yuhuan was very upset: "How could this be? How..."

"What Li Jinglong said are just some nonsense that reverses right and wrong and confuses black and white!" Yang Guozhong said angrily, "If you can't let this matter go, it is our biggest trouble!"

"How did you let me put it down?" Yang Yuhuan said sadly, "After that night, I often dreamed of my elder sister, her face covered with blood, and she was always urging me to avenge her. I thought it was all over. If you can forget, forget about it. Your Majesty said again, Great Tang will have a demon coming to the world..."

"Heaven Demon." Yang Guozhong wiped the golden dragon intently and laughed mockingly.

Concubine Yang sighed faintly, Yang Guozhong shook her Sipa, and Yang Yuhuan whispered again: "Brother, Jinlou and Yuxia, there will be a day when it will fall. The tree attracts the wind, so we must prepare early."

"Say of ghosts and gods." Yang Guozhong said, "It's just a foolish woman who uses rumors to deceive others. If I didn't expect it to be bad, then Li Jinglong has created such a big momentum, but he has been suppressed for a long time and wants to rise Just take a breath."

Yang Yuhuan looked at Yang Guozhong suddenly, frowning and said, "What breath?"

Yang Guozhong said casually: "Great Tang hasn't had a national teacher for many years? Li Heng wants to succeed, and he should have his own calculations. What demon, what ominous, what disaster, besides coming to us, there can be What is your intention?"

Yang Yuhuan’s Huarong paled, Yang Guozhong wiped the gilt hourglass, opened an ebony box that was precious and important, set it up, and said: "Your righteous son should also come, and when it’s suitable, take Li Jinglong to himself. Let it go."

Yang Yuhuan got up uneasy, Yang Guozhong thought for a moment, and looked at the rain outside the temple.

"I heard my brother Shuhan reported a secret order. A few months ago when they were walking around Liangzhou, they caught a monster. They walked in a hurry that day, but the monster did not take away. After that, my brother Shuhan interrogated and learned about it. Beside Li Jinglong, there is a demon lurking. Guess who it is?"

"It's the young man who called Kong Hongjun."

"What?!" Yang Yuhuan said in amazement, "No way! It was Doctor Kong who treated me back then, that's his father!"

Yang Guozhong held the wooden box in his arms and slowly said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. If it is a demon, there will be a day of its original form. Li Jinglong is unpredictable, and he does not want to think about the prosperity and prosperity of the world.

Yang Yuhuan panted slowly.

"It's just that after he became the director of exorcism, these weird things happened one after another, and now they are even more shocking. Hey, the'devil' is just a pretense that Li Heng conspired with him. Children’s ghosts are strange, too old to hide..."

Yang Yuhuan was shocked and said angrily: "Shut up!"

Yang Guozhong sneered: "You can hide from him, but you can't hide from me. You think, if one day, the Exorcist is the source of these monsters, how will the group be dealt with? You really think that your eldest sister is monster?"

Yang Yuhuan said anxiously: "This..."

Yang Guozhong stepped forward a little, lowered his voice, and said: "I don't think it's necessarily... The Exorcist is full of illusionist and slanderous warlocks. Who can think that these blindfolds have been cast in your majesty's mind?"

Yang Yuhuan couldn't help feeling cold behind his back.

"Your Majesty, I'll leave it to you. The Exorcist Division can't stay, otherwise this matter will become more and more troublesome and there will be no end to it."

Yang Yuhuan stared at Yang Guozhong in a daze, Yang Guozhong only said a few words, and then looked at Yang Yuhuan for a moment, then nodded and left. The rest of Yang Yuhuan was in a daze at the pattering spring rain outside.

In the Exorcist Division, Morigen and Ashnajon went to handle the case separately, and Ah Tai asked Hongjun and Lu Xu: "Go to the Upper West Market for a drink?"

Hongjun and Lu Xu waved their hands together, Ah Tai went to see Trandot, and Li Jinglong hadn't returned for most of the day. The two drank tea and watched the rain outside the eaves.

"Where did you go to the end?" Hongjun said to himself.

Lu Xu replied, "A monster appeared in Lishan Huaqing Palace last night. I checked it out early in the morning."

Hongjun was still a little nervous at first, for fear that everyone would ask him: Why do you like long history, what happened last night, and you will be together in the future... If so, everyone is not surprised. Except for a few teasers at first, his expression actually took Hongjun and Li Jinglong as a natural pair.

"Morigen..."

"I won't mention Li Jinglong." Lu Xu said blankly, "Don't mention him either."

Hongjun: "..."

Hongjun nodded, and the two reached a tacit agreement. Lu Xu thought for a moment. When he was about to ask something else, someone outside shouted: "Li Changshi! Is Li Changshi here?"

Hongjun went to let the people in, but it was an assistant to the prince who personally delivered the imperial decree. Hongjun said, "Chang Shi went out to investigate the case."

"Then you go ahead first." said the aides, "this is the decree issued by your majesty and Donggong to designate Li Changshi as Yadanhou."

Yadan has always been barren, with yellow sands, and a cemetery of war dead ghouls underneath. Fenghou was sealed to Yadan for the first time. I heard that the staff member said again: "There are orders of jurisdiction and Hou Yin, all prepared together. The order of Fenghou has been sent along Hexi Road, Yadan is uninhabited, so just let Jia Zhou know that Yumen is closed. ."

Lu Xu: "What do you mean?"

Hongjun: "I don't understand."

The Exorcist Division left two guards who did not eat the fireworks in the world. The two looked at each other, and did not thank you. The staff helplessly said, "Are there no adults here?"

"I'm an adult." Hongjun said angrily, "I'm seventeen! Why not an adult!"

"I am eighteen." Lu Xu replied, "he is my brother."

Staff: "..."

It’s often heard that there are strange people in the Exorcist Division. I saw it today as expected. The staff did not have time to investigate why the 17th can be the 18th elder brother. They just wanted to get out of the matter quickly, and then took out a letter and said: Receive the letter from Hexi, and then get your seal..."

Hongjun did not have a seal, and finally drew a deed. The assistant returned with an umbrella. Lu Xu saw that the name of Hongjun was written on the letter and said, "It's yours?"

Hongjun opened the letter and said: "My uncle!" I saw what it said was nothing but a matter of fact. He left in a hurry that day without explaining, but seeing Jia Zhou's letter, it seemed that there had been a previous round. Correspondence. Presumably Li Jinglong wrote a letter in his own name and convicted him. The general idea in Jia Zhou's letter is to leave this time, and I don't know when to see each other. When you are free in the future, you must choose a time when it is not cold and come to Yumenguan often.

Hongjun said to Lu Xu, "Uncle is my only relative."

Lu Xu nodded and said, "Mortals are different from us."

Hongjun was suddenly reminded by Lu Xu. He thought of a question. He is a half-demon, which means... he seems to be able to live a long time? But Li Jinglong, Lu Xu and others are all mortals, so what should we do?

Lu Xu didn't know what he was thinking, and picked out the first one and said, "Whose is this again?"

"This is... the ghost king!" Hongjun looked at the silk paper, and it was full of upright seal script. He could hardly understand a few words. When he was about to turn the book to the right, someone outside shouted: "Li Changshi! Long history!"

Hongjun thought that the staff of the East Palace had gone and returned, but opened the door and found that it was Dali Temple Qing Huang Yong and a clerk.

"Where is Long History?" Huang Yong said anxiously.

Hongjun had to explain it again. Lu Xu looked behind Hongjun. Knowing that this guy is Li Jinglong's immediate boss, Hongjun invited him in for tea. Huang Yong was anxious and said, "Morigen is not there? When will they come back?"

"I don't know." Hongjun and Lu Xu looked at Huang Yong blankly.

"Kong Hongjun, do you have no adults here?" Huang Yong looked around and asked.

"No."

Lu Xu and Hongjun said in unison.

"We are all silly kids." Lu Xu added.

"Yes." Hongjun explained to Huang Yong, "Since we were born, our brains have been caught by the door. It is not very useful. We can't investigate the case, let alone accept the demon. We can only stretch out our hands here and talk about food. Eat and wait to die."

"Don't tell us anything." Lu Xu said.

Hongjun: "We are not curious at all. You can wait for Chang Shi to come back here."

Huang Yong understood the sarcasm in the words, and hurriedly said, "That’s not what it meant, you two, come with me... Yo, what is this? Yadanhou? This is called Lord Hou... No, how to seal it. Go to Yadan?"

Huang Yong asked the clerk to wait outside. He went into the hall by himself and saw Li Jinglong's Fenghou Ling, but he didn't react for a while. Hongjun just stood side by side with Lu Xu, tilting his head to look at him.

"Two." Huang Yong ran with sweat, "I'm going to talk about it, something is strange, please bear with me."

Hongjun often runs Dali Temple with Li Jinglong. Huang Yong recognizes him, but most of the time he regards him as Li Jinglong's follower. Now that the situation is serious, Huang Yong straightened out his anger and said, "It's true that something happened to the Emperor's Tomb last night..."

March 17th, Thirteenth Year of Tianbao.

Case: Zhaoling Haunted

Difficulty: Herringbone

Location: Taizong Zhaoling Mausoleum of Jiucheng Mountain

Involved: Unknown

Facts: On the night of March 13th, a ghost was found outside the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong on Jiucheng Mountain, and a ghost was smashed in blood on the spot. The lunatic escaped during the day, all the way into the depths of Zhaoling. Cheng Xiao, Cheng Xiao, a Dali Temple, and bailiff entered the Zhaoling Mausoleum for investigation and investigation.

Remuneration: No.

Remarks: Don't alarm your majesty or anyone, otherwise you will lose your life!

Hongjun: "This is haunted? Why don't you say it earlier?"

Huang Yong smiled bitterly: "I have handed over a case before and held it in the Exorcist Department. It has not been done for a long time. It is of great importance... It involves the Emperor Taizong's tomb, but everyone will have their heads down..."

Lu Xu and Hongjun looked at each other.

Hongjun said decisively: "Let's wait for the long history to come back."

Hongjun didn’t dare to go to the emperor’s ancestral grave,

"Don't!" Huang Yong said, "Kong Hongjun, in any case, your Exorcist Division really has to take a trip today! This case has been overwhelmed! Wait any longer, Lingwei can go to Dali Temple. New Ling Wei didn't dare to perform duty, and Lian Hao had made friends with the Yang family again. If his Majesty knew about it, Long Yan would be furious, but, just... Didn't you just accept some war dead ghouls before?"

Hongjun and Lu Xu looked at each other, and Huang Yong said again: "Very serious, very, very serious!" He moved a little closer and whispered: "This matter is related to the ancestral temple shrine. If it is caught by someone who is interested, make a fuss, or Yang Xiang I suspect someone is playing mystery..."

Hongjun: "???"

Lu Xu: "?"

Huang Yong said anxiously: "In case there are rumors that it is the heroic soul of Taizong, persuade your majesty...Ah, you two don't understand!"

Hongjun suddenly opened up, but understood, and explained to Lu Xu: "Master Huang said that it was the emperor's ancestor who showed up and scolded him for ruining political affairs..."

"I didn't say that!" Huang Yong said immediately, "I mean, I'm afraid someone has ulterior motives and rumors are born! Oh, two young masters...When will your housekeeper come back?"

Huang Yong was already crying, Hongjun said: "Don't worry, we will go now."

Lu Xu responded naturally, the rain outside had stopped, and no one from the Exorcist Department came back. Huang Yong again urged him to go back. Hongjun left a note and went to pull out the carp demon who was in a state of trouble, put it on his back, and went out with Lu Xu.

Seeing that it was past noon, Lu Xu was about to wander out of the city, but Hongjun suggested to go find Ah Tai first. Go to the wine shop opened by Trandot in the city. The wine shop happens to be opposite the "Yuyue Dragon Gate" that Hongjun likes to go to. It is a huge wine shop, decorated with magnificent decoration, and there are many silk tents in it.

It was afternoon, and there was no customer in the wine shop. Ah Tai took a fly swatter to swat the flies in the wine shop.

"How much does it cost?" Lu Xu looked up at the two-story wine shop and said, "Can you pay back?"

Hongjun also knew the concept of a little money. Trandot saw the two coming, and said: "The boss is happy today, drink for free!"

Ah Tai raised the fly swatter and waved hello to the two of them. Hongjun hurriedly resigned and informed Ah Tai that he and Lu Xu had gone to investigate the case.

"Go together?" Ah Tai came out hurriedly.

Hongjun glanced at Trandot, afraid that Trandot would be angry, and hurriedly said, "You stay here with your sister-in-law."

Trandot came out and said, "Let him be with you."

Lu Xu said: "Let's go and get back quickly. We will go around in an hour, but it will be slow after taking you."

Ah Tai had to give up and let the two of them be careful. When he left the city, Lu Xu transformed into a white deer in a remote place, and Hongjun sat on its back.

"Oh, your horn!" Hongjun said in surprise.

The white deer's horns actually grew a little, and the wound where Hongjun had cut it at the beginning has also healed, like a short dragon horn.

"It will grow up slowly," White Deer replied, "Grasp firmly."

Then the white deer began to trot, running faster and faster, leaving the official road and stepping into the wilderness, riding the wind with all four hoofs, and swept across the green wheat field with a "swish", carrying Hongjun like flying on the grass. The wind swiftly swept the ground, and quickly stepped into the mountains.

If you are riding a horse, you need to take a detour on the official road. It will take at least half a day to travel from Chang'an to Jiucheng Mountain. Bailu is fast, and even takes a short cut. In just one hour, he arrived outside Zhaoling at dusk. However, traveling at a high speed will eventually consume effort. When he transformed into a human body, Lu Xu sat down on the steps outside Zhaoling, panting.

"You are almost flying." Hongjun said, "Don't be so hurry."

"It's okay to run for a short distance." Lu Xu panted, "It's really impossible to run down a long distance. The wolf is physically strong, but I don't know where he went."

The Zhaoling Mausoleum sits east and west, and is built against the mountain. It is trapped in the mountain, like a huge palace, with many tombs of ministers beside it. Jiucheng Mountain was deserted at first, and there were originally some tomb guards. After this incident, the tomb guards had temporarily retreated to the Guojia Village under the mountain, and it was even more desolate and weird in the evening.

The cold wind blows and the grass rustles on the mountain. Hongjun feels an unprovoked gloom, even if it is the emperor’s tomb, it does not change its dense atmosphere.

Hongjun: "Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"It's OK." Lu Xu couldn't help but feel a little hairy.

The two stood side by side downstairs at the entrance of Zhaoling. Hongjun would be a little scared if he came by himself, saying that he could not wake up the carp demon behind him, but with Lu Xu there, it would be much better.

For a long time, he hadn't used any treasures or fights, and Hongjun couldn't help being a little handy. He shook his five-colored gleam, holding a flying knife between his fingers.

"You have no weapons or magic weapons." Hongjun remembered that Lu Xu used only a shovel before.

"Big Wolf said to get it for me." Lu Xu replied.

"Then you follow me." Holding the five-color divine light in his left hand and a flying knife in his right, Hongjun stepped into the Zhaoling area.

Lu Xu: "Okay, I will hide behind you."

This is the first time Hongjun has investigated the case by himself. He also brought a complete rookie, Lu Xu, to Li Jinglong. Most of them are familiar with the road, doing things first, collecting information, inspecting the scene... But Hongjun himself is only half-knowledgeable. I came here without thinking, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

"Do you think it's a ghost?" Lu Xu asked.

"What do you think?" Hongjun had no idea at all, and the two moved around outside Zhaoling.

Lu Xu said, "Maybe it's a demon."

Hongjun nodded in agreement. Lu Xu had been a scout before. Although he had only one soul and one soul at the time, he often sent letters and he had probably seen it before.

"Where is the place of the dead?" Hongjun muttered.

The sun was about to set, and the two came to the entrance of Zhaoling. At the bottom was a series of steps. There was no strange sound, just cold wind. A row of brick houses outside the mausoleum is expected to be a place for people to live, and the smell inside the house is very pungent.

"Blood." Lu Xu said.

Hongjun also smelled it, stretched his feet and kicked the door open, and saw that it was full of purple-black blood, stained with blood, spreading outside the house, it seemed that there was a corpse that had been dragged away.

"Here." Hongjun said, "follow the blood."
