Chapter 15
Source of "Tianbao Fu Yaolu":
"So, I have to go back to that room to see...Hongjun?"
Li Jinglong frowned, everyone looked at Hongjun at the same time, but Hongjun got up subconsciously, stepped out of the front hall, and stood under the corridor.
This is a familiar place, but in the memory, everything has changed. Hongjun looked around and felt strongly that he had remembered a memory he had never had before--
--what happened? Is it because of Lishun Pollen? But doesn't Lishun Pollen have the effect of forgetting? How can it remind him of the past?
"Father -! Father!"
In his memory, Xiao Hongjun shouted hoarsely, but a black shadow flew over and landed in the courtyard.
It's Qingxiong! Hongjun suddenly turned his head and saw the former Qingxiong.
He flew up in his skirt robe, took a step forward, and said solemnly: "Enough to kill."
And in the hall, under the golden light, was a couple who died hugging each other. Their faces have become blurred. Xiao Hongjun rushed to the couple’s body, yelling and crying like crazy, but Qingxiong said He was dragged back by his back collar.
"Father--!" Xiao Hongjun screamed, but Qingxiong's voice rang in his ears.
"Shhh. Look at me, look at me." Qingxiong knelt on one knee and made Hongjun turn to him, staring at Hongjun with both eyes. His lips moved slightly, and he said something to him.
Xiao Hongjun stood in the yard ignorantly and looked around. Qingxiong forced him to look at himself again, pressing his head and talking to him, but the words had become blurred.
What did Qingxiong say? Hongjun furrowed his brows. Qing Xiong seemed to say those words often, but he forgot. But what happened to the Exorcist, and the couple who died? !
"Hongjun!" everyone shouted.
Li Jinglong came to the patio, shook his hand in front of him, and asked, "Is it all right?"
Hongjun always felt that he had forgotten a very important sentence Qingxiong said, but he remembered more strange things. He closed his eyes and shook his head as much as possible, trying to expel these messy memories from his mind.
Li Jinglong was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Hongjun took a deep breath, waved his hand to indicate that it was OK, returned to the main hall to sit down, raised his eyebrows and asked what the outcome of the discussion was.
"Action tonight." Li Jinglong said, "There are roughly a few. We should have found clues in the column of poetry, but we still need to confirm it. Now everyone will go to rest first and act together at night."
Morigen, Ah Tai, and Qiu Yongsi each nodded, but did not act, looking at Hongjun together. Hongjun was so busy that everyone don't worry about themselves, and they all separated.
Just after Hongjun lay down in the afternoon, Li Jinglong came to see him, sat on the couch and asked: "Kong Hongjun, what happened to you today?"
At this time, Li Jinglong raised his hand and placed it on the back of Hongjun's hand.
Hongjun's heartbeat suddenly became fast, and an impulse surged from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to take Li Jinglong's hand and tell him his memory, but he didn't figure out what was going on, so he replied, "Nothing. "
"If you have something on your mind, you can say it at any time." Li Jinglong retracted his hand, "I feel uncomfortable after smelling the pollen from the soul, so I must think of a solution early."
Hongjun said hurriedly that he had nothing to do with Lihun Pollen, so Li Jinglong nodded and turned away. Hongjun turned over, yawned, and fell asleep temporarily.
As the sun sets, the shadow of the mountains covers the Daming Palace.
The woman in the Chinese dress walked quickly in the shadow under the palace wall, like a silent ghost.
"I feel it, it's in Chang'an City."
A man in black with a scar on his forehead was somber.
"Flying Mastiff, go and see." The woman urged.
"Give it to me." The black-clothed man calling the Flying Mastiff replied in a hostile manner.
"There will be." The woman said solemnly, "The guy must be found, the demon is still unstable..."
"Give me food!" Fei Mastiff suddenly showed sharp teeth.
"That's not your food!" The woman stepped forward, threateningly, "Bring him back, and there will be something to feed you by then."
Her eyes flashed red suddenly, Fei Mastiff stepped back a half step, was quiet for a while, turned around and turned over the palace wall and disappeared into the dusk.
"Madam." A maid came, but no one was seen, whispered, "Is anyone here? You..."
The woman turned her head, and the maid let out a heart-piercing scream.
"Help—" The maid was trapped in a black mist before she yelled out. Her eyes widened, and she looked at the fluffy monster in front of her in a gorgeous costume, her throat creaked, and then she covered her skin. It dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was sucked into a skeleton-like person in an instant, making a light noise, and falling to the ground.
Dressed in a gorgeous dress, the lady walked towards the setting sun and whistled towards the mountains. Several wild foxes came across the wall, holding the body of the maid, dragging her out of the Daming Palace and throwing her down the valley.
"Hongjun, wake up." Morigen patted Hongjun on the shoulder. Hongjun was sleeping with a headache and turned around.
Morigen tried Hongjun's forehead with his hand. He didn't have a fever, and asked, "Is uncomfortable? Go to sleep?"
Hongjun had a long and strange dream, and when he woke up, he forgot about it, and waved his hand to indicate that there was nothing wrong. When the Exorcist Division came, everyone was ready. Li Jinglong carried a bow and sword, and was dispatching tasks to everyone.
Hongjun remembered the feeling of Li Jinglong putting his hand on the back of his hand in the afternoon, and suddenly felt that he was very reliable. He moved a step closer to him, a little bit hesitant, but when someone else was around, Li Jinglong didn't say anything, just pointed at him. nod.
The carp demon was riding on a horse, with two hairy legs hanging in the air, his head was resting on Li Jinglong's back, dozing off, his hands hanging down.
"Um... let's go." Hongjun decided to forget about it, although it made him feel vaguely uneasy.
When the mu drum sounded, the five turned on their horses, and when they galloped outside Pingkang Lane, Ah Tai and Qiu Yongsi turned to the main street, while Li Jinglong, Hongjun and Morigen entered the back alley. Morigen nodded at the two, turned over the wall, and entered the backyard leaning against the poetry column.
"Hammorabi and Pei Yongsi are going to attract the attention of the people in the building." Li Jinglong put the carp essence down, and when he saw Hongjun looking up, he explained, "Morigen is in the middle of the message. Let's go back to the room. Investigate once."
"Wow, it's so lively." Hongjun said.
It was the first time that Hongjun came out after Mugu, and only felt that Chang'an had changed in an instant. In Pingkangli Neilou, singing and dancing, the red lanterns were all lit up, and the front of the hook was bright red, the lanterns glowed, and the music played.
On the left side, the pipa sound of the spring and dawn of the ying and spring is heard frequently, like tens of millions of pearls pouring down a giant drum; With the applause of the literati merchants, the maidservant smiled, and walked along the poem column. Everywhere was filled with brightly lit tall buildings. The tents were gilded and green, and the figures came and went like a horse lantern. Night, Ten Miles Pingkang" is just the right phrase.
"What the hell is this place?" Hongjun was always puzzled.
Li Jinglong never expected that Hongjun didn't even know the brothel, or whether he was really stupid or fake. He looked at Hongjun for a moment, and saw that this hairy boy was indeed innocent, and asked: "Are you serious?"
Hongjun: "?"
"It's a..." Li Jinglong said, really guilty, "It's not a good place anyway."
Hongjun asked again: "Last time I took you to Liuying Chunxiao, why did they laugh at you?"
Li Jinglong waved his hand, raised his forehead, and signaled not to ask any more. In fact, who would not come to Changan civil and military officials? Just grabbing him and making a fuss.
Hongjun was always a curiosity to break the casserole to the end, and then asked: "Have you been here before?"
"No." Li Jinglong replied. At this moment, a literati turned from the alley with his arms around the beautiful girl. He was obviously drunk. When he wanted to enter through the back door, Li Jinglong pulled Hongjun and the two hid in the dark. .
Hongjun couldn't help looking out, and his doubts were almost breaking through the sky. Seeing that he was not pretending, Li Jinglong said seriously: "I don't like..."
"What don't you like?" Hongjun looked back. The two were so close that Li Jinglong gave a little unnaturally.
"I don't like this kind of dew marriage." Li Jinglong replied.
Hongjun could probably guess the meaning of these words, and Li Jinglong was surprised: "Why don't you understand anything? Don't say your parents, then the carp demon never taught you?"
"Then you tell me?" Hongjun hurriedly pricked his ears, the more mysterious, the more interested.
Li Jinglong: "..."
At the same time, leaning against the front entrance of the poetry column.
"Hey, what a monkey!" Ah Tai smiled exaggeratedly, opening his arms.
"Wow-he's here again!"
"It's that nonsense! The nonsense who plays the piano is here again!"
"Dear-baby -"
Ah Tai lifted the chin of the old bustard who came up to meet him, and made a "kiss" gesture. The old bustard suddenly turned red and smiled: "The son is here again! This hasn't been here for several days, the girls are waiting. Now."
Ah Tai smiled and said, "No way, hey, you have to please your boss when you first come here, don't you come to see you whenever you have time?"
"what--"
As soon as Ah Tai entered the hall, the girls swarmed out, screaming endlessly, and quickly came downstairs to welcome them. The scene made all the guests behind the screens in the hall couldn't help but look around.
"Master Qiu is here too!" another girl said, "make us a poem?"
"Tell us about your cousin!"
Qiu Yongsi smiled and said, "Let's listen to Ah Tai's piano tonight."
When Ah Tai walked through the hall, all the dancing girls stopped and flocked up. Ah Tai hugged one of them, kissed her tender face, and walked to the innermost couch in the hall.
"Would you like some wine?" Qiu Yongsi smiled.
The waiter immediately served the wine. Tonight, there were a lot of people from all over the world who came to the capital to catch the autumn test in the leaning poetry column. Seeing the accompanying girls looked around, they were dissatisfied: "What happened to the Huren?"
"Hush." The girl motioned to her son not to ask too much, and couldn't help but look out of the screen.
There were a few beacon lights hanging above Ah Tai's head. The railings on the second and third floors were full of girls, so the benefactors were unknown, so he came out and took a look. Under the bright light, Ah Tai had dark brown curly hair, his eyes were as deep blue as sea water, his eyes were deep and his nose was deep, and his skin was as white as milk. He smiled at the audience.
In the silence, Ah Tai sat cross-legged and embraced the Barbat, but did not pluck the strings, cleared his throat, and sang first.
"How many wastelands were once gardens full of flowers..."
"How many palaces have become ruins today..."
With a pause, Ah Tai's five fingers plucked the strings of the Barbat. The strings vibrated continuously, as if a strange magical power flowed from his fingertips, like moonlight spilling over the courtyard, and the silver jewelry made a fine sound. The white stag walked through the overgrown courtyard, and in an instant the whole courtyard bloomed with snow-white flowers.
"I'm immersed in your eyes, I have forgotten the passing time..."
Ah Tai turned his head slightly and closed his eyes. His face was so handsome that he held his breath. The doors of the second and third floors leaning on the poem column opened one after another. Everyone was attracted by the music and came downstairs lightly.
At that moment, the whole building seemed to be plunged into a dream, involuntarily in this music.
Qiu Yongsi smiled, with two balls of cotton stuffed in his ears, his head swayed slightly.
In the back alley, after hearing what Li Jinglong said, Hongjun flushed with excitement and curiosity, and asked, "Really?"
Li Jinglong never wanted to repeat what he just said to Hongjun in this life.
"Don't tell anyone!" Li Jinglong ordered.
It stands to reason that Hongjun is sixteen years old, the Great Tang folk customs are open, and Chang'an teenagers are considered adults at the age of thirteen or four. It is common to visit Pingkangli, and Li Jinglong usually does not prohibit them from discussing with the Dragon Martial Army subordinates. However, when facing Hongjun, a strange feeling of guilt suddenly rose in his heart.
"Why don't you come to such a good place?" Hongjun asked.
"Of course I won't come!" Li Jinglong was almost blown up by these words, "Am I like that kind of person?"
Morigen probed out of the backyard, whistled at the two, beckoning to be allowed to enter. Li Jinglong looked serious and signaled that Hongjun must be tight-lipped, but it didn't seem necessary.
"It's started!" Li Jinglong moved the carp monster and said, "Go and guard in front of the building."
The two turned around and ran quickly to the backyard.
The second and third floors are really empty! Hongjun threw off the hook and flew onto the second floor with Li Jinglong. Morigen waited on the outside on the second floor and handed Li Jinglong and Hongjun two balls of cotton. Li Jinglong plugged his ears into his ears, and Hongjun held the cotton, not knowing what he meant for a while.
Li Jinglong walked ahead, Hongjun approached the fence next to the building and glanced down. The sound of the piano came like a sound of heaven, and everyone in the poem column was fascinated by it, like a puppet that was frozen.
Hongjun: "..."
Ah Tai’s singing is full of the moonlight and thriving courtyard...Say it’s too late, then it’s fast, Morigen grabbed Hongjun’s hands and stuffed the cotton into his ears, the sound of the piano and the singing were far away, and Hongjun instantly Back to reality.
Li Jinglong dragged him in front, pulled him into the room, and whispered: "Don't listen, get to work."
Morigen guarded the door to avoid another accident. Hongjun couldn't help looking out and asked, "Is that Ah Tai playing the piano?!"
Hongjun can probably guess that this is mostly Ah Tai's spell, but he has never used it against them when he is playing the piano in the Exorcist Division. He leaned on the bottom of the couch and looked inward. Li Jinglong had never noticed anything abnormal, put away his sword, came over to carry the couch, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you hear it?"
"It's not like today...found it!" Hongjun found that there was a long cloth bag under the bed and hurriedly pulled it out, only to see the shriveled head of the dead man again.
"Wow!" Hongjun yelled in fright, "It's this again!"
Morigen knocked on the door, and Li Jinglong responded, indicating that he was okay inside.
"Huh? Why should I say it again?" Hongjun muttered to himself.
"Drag it out." Li Jinglong said.
After Hongjun dragged out the corpse, Li Jinglong put down the bed. This time Li Jinglong came prepared without any horror. He took apart the cloth strips, put on a pair of black silk gloves with both hands, and began to examine the corpse. On the other hand, Hong Jun looked furry, hiding behind Li Jinglong.
"Men, they are between 30 and 40." Li Jinglong said, "Look at this dress, it doesn't look like a businessman or an official. Maybe it's a scholar who went to Beijing for the exam...Hongjun?"
"I dare not look!" Hongjun saw the swarthy corpse with his mouth wide open and his gums exposed. Li Jinglong stripped his clothes and exposed to the light. He was indescribably nauseous, and his hairs stood on end.
Li Jinglong said: "Don't be afraid, you can't eat you again. Look, what kind of demon sucked his blood? This can't be the effect of slow decay."
"Is the monster the owner of this room?" Suddenly, Hongjun had an idea, rummaging around for cabinets and drawers.
Li Jinglong said, "Don't move things, you will be discovered."
Hongjun buried his head and said, "If it's a monster, there must be some magic weapons or evil things with them, but there are none here."
Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, while still playing the piano and singing downstairs, Morigen asked outside, "Isn't it all right?"
After searching for it, Hongjun said, "There are no monsters in this room."
"Let me ask a question, do you feel the evil spirit?" Li Jinglong asked.
Hongjun shook his head, and Li Jinglong pondered: "The demon must be in this building... The only thing you can do now is to be bold, Hongjun, let you hook it up. Later, you and Morigen will go to the building separately. Go to both sides, keep an eye on everyone in the hall, and release flying knives at any time..."
"I have only three flying knives left."
"Wrap me and I will definitely come back."
Leaning in the main hall of the poetry column, Ah Tai played the piano, a round of rushing urges, like the beginning of a storm, covering a full moon, and like thousands of leaves flying together, overwhelming the sky.
"...I am struggling to pursue in this storm..."
Ah Tai's singing resounded throughout the building, and at this moment, with a bang, a mummy fell down from the upper floor with a rope tied to its neck. Qiu Yongsi and Ah Tai were caught off guard, and at the same time they were taken aback. Ah Tai didn't know what was going on, so he subconsciously turned to look at the second floor.
The singing stopped abruptly, and hundreds of people in the hall stared at the mummy in a daze. After a few breaths, a scream suddenly broke out--!
Leaning in the poem column, the old bustard screamed in horror, and the guests suddenly panicked. There was a large-scale riot in the building, screaming one after another, many girls fainted.
At this moment, Li Jinglong, Hongjun, and Morigen were simultaneously observing the guests in the hall from three directions on the second floor. Only a woman in the corner changed her face and took a step back.
In the other two corners of the hall, there were two more girls who accompanied the benefactor in shock, glanced at the woman, and then the three of them joined together, raising their eyes to the door of Jin Yun on the second floor!
When it was said that it was too late, then three flying knives swept through the air and shot at those women! The woman hadn't realized that she had revealed her identity, but knew that a disaster was imminent, and immediately waved her hand, Ling Luo shakes away, emitting a dim purple light. Unexpectedly, the flying knife did not fear the purple light at all, and shot it away with a raging fire, and fell into the woman's shoulder in an instant!
"Follow the flying knife!" Li Jinglong shouted, "Don't let them run away!"
Li Jinglong climbed over the railing and flew down into the hall on the lower floor. At this time, there was already a mess in the hall. Ah Tai collected the piano and rushed out with Qiu Yongsi. Morigen supported the railing and slammed the window door on the second floor with his shoulder.
The woman by the door in the hall yelled in pain. The three women reached out their hands and grabbed the flying knives on their shoulders. When their palms touched the flying knives, they were screamed and screamed. Knowing that there was a master, they didn't dare to love the fight anymore and turned and ran away.
One of the women seemed to be the tallest, climbed the window and jumped out of the front and turned her head. A flame was shot between her fingers and burst into the air in the hall.
At that time Hongjun was jumping off the second floor, Li Jinglong suddenly shouted: "Hongjun beware!"
Hongjun slammed his head, and the flame flew past him, but the target was not him, but the corpse hanging in the air. As soon as the flame touched the dry corpse, it burst into flames and burned the dry corpse to ashes!
As soon as the woman near the door rushed out, Morigen broke through the window and flew out from the second floor. She flexed her bow and drew arrows while she was in the air, and flew away with three arrows.
When the woman rushed out, she couldn't help but look back at the chasing soldiers. It doesn't matter if she didn't turn her head, she turned her head and her neck instantly met the flying arrow. She was shot across her neck with a buzzing sound, turning into a blue eye in the white light. The brown-haired fox opened his mouth wide and spurted blood from his neck. Then two more arrows flew, and another arrow hit his abdomen and leg, killing him on the spot!
Li Jinglong roared: "The strike is too heavy! Warning once! Where are the other two?!"
Morigen landed, waved, and flew back with three arrows, tearing the fox with blood.
"I didn't want to shoot it in the neck!" Morigen shouted innocently.
At this time, Hongjun closed his neck and chased it out, leaning on the poem column, pushing, pushing, trampling, and tumbling.
Hongjun beckoned, the flying knife returned to his hand, and said in surprise: "Fox?"
"Fox demon." Li Jinglong said, "Go find your throwing knife, hurry!"
"In..." Hongjun turned around and said, "In the alley!"
"Where is Zhao Zilong?!" Li Jinglong said, "Hurry up! Why don't you have a tacit understanding?"
The demon carp grabbed a gift bag, wagged his tail and ran up, saying, "Here comes!"
Li Jinglong kicked the carp monster into the building, and immediately went with Hongjun and Morigen to track the other two fox monsters.
