Chapter 22
Li Jinglong suddenly remembered something, and quickly walked to the front hall, looking up at the wisdom sword in the hands of King Fudo Ming. The majestic appearance of King Fudo Ming seems to be guarding the world, and the shape of the sword in his hand is exactly the same as the black rusty sword in Li Jinglong's hand.
"This is the sword of great wisdom to subdue demons and demons." Qiu Yongsi explained, "rumors can destroy all demonic energy in the world."
Hongjun furrowed his brows, raised his head and couldn't move Ming Wang. When he looked at Li Jinglong's Shuriken, he had only one doubt in his heart at this moment-why the wisdom sword can break through the five-color light? Chongming said that the five-color sacred light is known as the strongest shield in the world, and even Taishan can be resisted.
"So as long as you use this magic weapon properly." Qiu Yongsi comforted, "Chang Shi, you want to be an exorcist without innate spiritual veins, it is not a dream. More uses of this sword will be discovered slowly. ."
Li Jinglong nodded, replied that he understood, and put away the wisdom sword in his hand. Everyone exchanged glances, and they all felt that Li Jinglong seemed to have suffered some setback last night, he did not say, and everyone did not ask. After observing his words, Li Jinglong has regained a certain confidence.
"Continue investigating the case today." Li Jinglong explained, "No matter what rumors or rumors outside, remember that we are ours and have nothing to do with others."
Everyone answered, Li Jinglong put Qiu Yongsi and Hongjun together, and Ah Tai and Morigen together. He acts alone. Qiu Yongsi and Hongjun went to investigate where the Chang'an candidates stayed, and Ah Tai and Morigen went to Pingkangli to inquire about candidates who went to the brothel for fun in the past few days.
"Is it necessary?" Ah Tai said, "Long history, why don't we think of a solution first..."
"I don't care about the Daming Palace." Li Jinglong said, "I don't believe it until the case is investigated to the end."
Everyone looked at Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong turned around and said: "It's not that I am brave. Don't you think that suddenly there was a mummy with no name and no surname, unclaimed, is this suspicious?"
"Okay." Qiu Yongsi finally said, "Listen to you, check."
"What about you?" Hongjun asked, "You can join us."
"I have something." Li Jinglong replied absent-mindedly, still wringing her brows.
"Let's go together." Hongjun stretched out Li Jinglong's sleeves again, and Li Jinglong hurriedly said: "Don't pull or pull, this is the official mansion! What kind of style?" He said that he went out and ran quickly.
At noon, Hongjun was still at a loss. He only followed Qiu Yongsi when he went out to investigate the case. This was the first time he had acted alone with a partner other than Li Jinglong, but why did he and Qiu Yongsi be divided into a group?
Qiu Yongsi was tall, holding a folding fan in his hand, and walking with wind. Stop and go, sometimes standing and waiting for Hongjun.
"Go to the Imperial College, go." Qiu Yongsi asked, "Are you hungry? Have a snack and go to rest?"
Hongjun waved his hand: "I am not gluttonous, how can I be hungry so quickly."
Qiu Yongsi laughed to himself again: "Chang Shi puts us together, so you can't fish at work anymore."
Hongjun replied in a serious manner: "When will you be able to see the long history?"
Qiu Yongsi laughed and said, "Chang Shi is a good person, but it's different from what we initially imagined. It's our fault, that's all. But..." Qiu Yong missed his thoughts, took the folding fan away, glanced at Hongjun and asked: "It's you, Hongjun, what is it that made you believe him from the beginning?"
Hongjun thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because the heart light is on him."
"Heart lamp?" Qiu Yongsi was startled.
Since everyone was here to collect the Demon King, Hongjun did not hide it, and told Qiu Yongsi that he had entered Li Jinglong's body by accidentally hitting his heart lamp. Qiu Yongsi pondered for a moment, and then said, "So that's what I said... Since you entered the Exorcist Division, you have followed Li Jinglong every day, what's wrong with us?"
Hongjun said in a hurry that there was nothing like that, and Qiu Yongsi said to himself: "If the light of the heart is on him, then this guy might really fulfill his wish."
Hongjun didn’t know the origin of the Heart Lantern, but Qiu Yongsi had such a deep knowledge of magic weapons, maybe he could have a way to get the Heart Lantern out... When they were about to ask again, the two had arrived in front of the Imperial College, Qiu Yongsi Chaohong Jun made a gesture and motioned for him to deal with it.
People come and go at the gate of the Imperial College. The fifth day of the next month will be the day of the test. There are 6,000 people from all over the country. The test period is approaching. In order to avoid leaking questions, taking the test, etc., people who enter and leave the Imperial College will be searched. Bring the books outside, and you need to hold a pass of the Imperial College.
Qiu Yongsi and Hongjun stood outside the street, and when they saw people coming and going, Qiu Yongsi waited with bated breath. When there were too many people, Qiu Yongsi pulled Hongjun.
"Hey! Brother Wang! Wait for me, Brother Wang!" Qiu Yongsi saw a person passing by, pulling Hongjun into his voice, "Quickly I forgot to bring my token..."
At that time, there were many students at the door, and Qiu Yongsi was hurriedly searched. The guard asked, "Where is the card?"
Qiu Yongsi: "Forgot to bring it! Go back and get it!"
The people behind were urging them quickly, the guards were impatient, and couldn't find anything anyway, so they had to let them in. Hongjun was also searched all over, there was nothing, and when he was about to pass, the other party asked, "Where is the card?"
"Wait, neither of them have tokens? The one in front, stop! Which courtyard are you from?"
Hongjun snorted in his heart, not knowing what to do, Qiu Yongsi came over and said to the two guards: "He is a shaman! I don't understand, the card is in my room, hey! Card!"
Hongjun recovered, and immediately smiled: "Hey, my dear Great Tang friend!"
Hongjun was going to hug him. The students behind were already waiting to explode. There were two guards at the gate of the Imperial College. The guards had to put them both inside.
Qiu Yongsi took Hongjun through the side corridor, looking back from time to time, and said, "Fortunately, I came in. Go to the superintendent here."
Hongjun asked: "Why don't we come in over the wall?"
In Hongjun's eyes, whether he enters the imperial palace, the Daming Palace, or the Imperial College, he is flat on the ground. The only difference lies in the color of the wall in front of him. Qiu Yongsi was stupid when asked. Why not go over the wall?
"Don't always use violence to solve problems." Qiu Yongsi replied.
When the two went to the superintendent's room, Qiu Yongsi only said to find three fellow villagers and motioned to Hongjun to write, and Hongjun wrote down the names of the three. The superintendent informed that in the T-shaped building of Meiyuan, the two of them crossed the corridor again and went into the Meiyuan through the side hall.
The side hall was built to be extremely spacious. It was a place for the students to drink tea and chat. Hongjun and Qiu Yongsi hurried past the side hall. Suddenly Hongjun stopped and glanced into the side hall involuntarily.
Qiu Yongsi asked: "What?"
"Nothing," Hongjun replied.
"Trust your intuition." Qiu Yongsi said, "We are investigating the case."
Hongjun said: "There is a strange feeling of familiarity."
"Describe?" Qiu Yongsi glanced sideways at Hongjun.
How does it feel like at home? Nearly forty people gathered in that side hall, all whispering, whispering and laughing students, old and young.
At this moment, a young man lowered his head and ran into Hongjun inadvertently. Hongjun stumbled, the young man was busy apologizing, and looked up at Hongjun.
The young man was thin and small, and seemed to be a little younger than Hongjun. With anxiety in his eyes, Hongjun laughed and waved his hand to indicate that it was all right. The teenager stepped into the side hall again, smiling sideways, obviously very contented.
With just such an action, Hongjun suddenly remembered the feeling in Yaojin Palace. The young people in Yaojin Palace are all incarnations of birds. The whole Yaojin Palace is filled with a demon-like atmosphere. It is only because it emphasizes that the nature is noble and does not touch filth. After this demon-like atmosphere is purified, it will be even more inclined to not eat the fireworks in the world. .
"Monster." Hongjun said.
Without words, Qiu Yongsi turned around and walked in with Hongjun.
Hongjun whispered: "You feel it too?"
Qiu Yongsi said: "The monsters have hit us, can't you feel it?"
Although there was no magic weapon such as a demon mirror, Hongjun could still feel the demon spirit at the close distance, and the two sat down in the side hall.
"Don't glance at your eyes." Qiu Yongsi said to Hongjun with a gentle and elegant smile, "Little Langjun, there is fried rice here, and a cup of tea?"
"Good, good!" Hongjun likes to drink the tea made by Qiu Yongsi the most. The balsamic cheese is crispy and salty, the tea is fresh, and a little sesame seeds are added to the pound, and a handful of fried rice is sprinkled on top. The entrance is sweet and greasy. It is simply delicious on earth.
"Pretend that you are usually harmless to humans and animals." Qiu Yongsi said with a smile, "Looking around, whoever looks at us all the time, who is a monster, tell me when you see it."
Hongjun: "..."
Hongjun probed his head and looked around. His eyes were filled with curious eyes of outsiders entering Chang'an. At that time, the cases in the side hall were neatly displayed in rows. There were pots and stoves under the cases, and the outside was long and wide in autumn, blue like a bathroom, With large white clouds floating in and the sun shining in, it is really a comfortable and lazy place to rest.
The students were all talking about their own things. Someone occasionally looked at them after several cases, all just glancing at them.
"Someone is watching us." Hongjun smiled at Qiu Yongsi, "According to you, aren't there many monsters?"
"That is, this has entered the monster's den." Qiu Yongsi smiled and said without a smile, "You can't take action now, otherwise the Imperial College will be destroyed again, and Chang Shi will cry."
After Hongjun discovered a case, three young people were talking and laughing happily, and another teenager boiled water for them. No one paid any attention to the boy during the conversation. He seemed to be very bored, so he turned his head and stared at the courtyard outside the hall. After a short while, his eyes turned, and Hongjun's eyes were facing each other, and he smiled casually.
There was a bit of feminine femininity in that smile, Hongjun's heart jumped wildly, and a handsome face blushed to the root of his ears.
Hongjun smiled awkwardly, and Qiu Yongsi asked, "What demon?"
"It may be a fox." Hongjun turned his head and said to Qiu Yongsi.
In that smile just now, Hongjun felt a very obvious charm.
The boy actually got up, walked towards the two of them, sat in front of the case, and said with a smile: "This tea is really fragrant."
Hongjun: "!!!"
Qiu Yongsi didn't show his birth, and said, "It will be a while before it is ready. Don't worry, what is the name of the little brother?"
"Du Hanqing." The young man curled his eyebrows with willow leaves, his eyes seemed to be shrouded in water, and his body was weak. Before pressing the case, his eyes just glanced at Hongjun's face and chest, got closer, and asked, "What about you?"
Uh...Don't get too close, Hongjun said in his heart, and Qiu Yongsi introduced: "Qiu Yongsi, a native of Hangzhou, this is my cousin, Xiao Hongjun. Hongjun, you two should be the same age. Be closer. "
"I just entered Beijing?" Du Hanqing kept his eyes on Hongjun, and said, "The exam will start on the fifth day of next month."
He looked very uncomfortable with Hongjun, knowing that this was a fox demon, but before he let him think about it, Qiu Yongsi stretched out from the case with a single kick, and kicked him quietly.
Hongjun didn't know what to do, looked at Du Hanqing's eyes and laughed.
Du Hanqing couldn't help but laugh, and asked, "How old are you?"
After the two recounted their age, Hongjun was two months older than Du Hanqing, and Du Hanqing changed his mouth to shout "Brother". When they asked where they lived, Qiu Yongsi only replied that he was staying at a relative in the city. Today, he came to the Imperial College to step on and get to know her husband.
"You are here to try at such a young age?" Hongjun said, "It's not easy."
Du Hanqing smiled and said, "I have been poor since I was a child, and I have counted on me to take a fame." He stretched out his hand to play with the jasper peacock feather around Hongjun's waist. Busily pressing it, Qiu Yongsi said: "It was turned on."
Du Hanqing nodded. Someone called "Han Qing" not far away. When the water was ready, Du Hanqing went over to make tea for them.
Hongjun observed Du Hanqing, thinking that he didn’t know whether he had killed anyone or how many people he had killed. He had heard Qingxiong in Yaojin Palace saying that the fox demon is best at playing with emotions and bewitching people’s hearts. As a monster, the fox The demon's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are the most similar to human beings, and they are also the most bitter. They can't get rid of the demon's body just because they appreciate the various tastes of being human.
"He will come again later." Qiu Yongsi handed Hongjun a white jade Buddha and said, "You will give this to him."
"He won't come." Hongjun said.
"He will come." Qiu Yongsi said, "This kid is interested in you. It's quite obvious. Fortunately, Li Changshi is not there."
Hongjun: "?"
Sure enough, Du Hanqing came back after making tea. It seemed that several of his friends just asked him to do this and that, and didn't want to ignore him.
Hongjun stared at Du Hanqing, Du Hanqing flushed instead, laughed and said, "What do you always look at me for?"
"You look pretty," Hongjun said. He really felt that Du Hanqing's weak Liu Fufeng's appearance did have an indescribable charm.
"Do you read poems?" Du Hanqing asked Hongjun.
Hongjun immediately said: "Read!"
"Who do you like?" Du Hanqing asked again.
"Li Bai." Hongjun said, "I like him the most."
Du Hanqing said, "I like Wang Changling."
So Hongjun started talking about poetry vigorously, having to say that although Du Hanqing is a monster, his poetic attainments are still acceptable. Hongjun talked more and more vigorously. He had forgotten that the guy in front of him was a fox demon. He only tried to get him to accept Li Bai's poems, but instead made Du Hanqing angry.
Qiu Yongsi smiled and said, "We have to go, too?"
Du Hanqing said: "I ignore you."
Hongjun laughed and said, "Do you like it?"
Hongjun put the Jade Buddha on the case and pushed his finger to Du Hanqing. Du Hanqing exclaimed. Hongjun said, "You like jade, don't you? I just saw that you like my waist pendant, but it was given by my father. , Can't give it to you, here, give you this."
Hongjun was always ignorant before he got acquainted with others. Once he talked about it, he was very energetic and energetic. He couldn't help but patted Du Hanqing. Du Hanqing took the jade Buddha and was very moved. Look at Hongjun.
"I will come to you tomorrow." Du Hanqing said.
"Huh?" Hongjun was dumbfounded, thinking that he would not want it. It would be very dangerous if you entered the Exorcism Department.
Qiu Yongsi said: "There are so many relatives in the family, do you two make an appointment?"
Hongjun nodded and made an appointment with Du Hanqing under the Lishui Bridge tomorrow noon.
At dusk, Li Jinglong came out of the Feng Mansion.
Standing at the door, Feng Changqing leaned on crutches, and slowly said, "Finally, I have grown a little bit. You never asked me this before."
Li Jinglong was silent, and Feng Changqing said again: "I also understand your ambition. You are just an official in the court, not what you think. An official is just a four-character "deception". You have to hide it, it's when you have a chance."
Li Jinglong said: "When you can't hide it, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"For them," Feng Changqing said, "It's never too late, just go and make a good plan."
Li Jinglong's frowning brows were never untied, and after hearing Chang Qing's words, she became even more anxious.
After leaving the Imperial College, it was dusk before Hongjun remembered that he hadn't checked the three people.
"It's in the hall." Qiu Yongsi said, "all changed into fox demon."
Hongjun suddenly dropped his chin.
When just now Hongjun was chatting with Du Hanqing, Qiu Yongsi always listened carefully to the messy conversation in the hall, and Qiu Yongsi observed the names of those people in his ears.
"'Changed' the fox demon?"
"Otherwise? Where do you think the foxes will study hard for ten years and go to Beijing to take the exam?" Qiu Yongsi said, "It must be the scholars who were all replaced by foxes after they entered Chang'an. Now they all have pointed chins and peach eyes. On the contrary, it is not difficult to identify, but I did not expect this before."
Hongjun: "What about the original person?"
Qiu Yongsi glanced at Hongjun. Both of them thought of the mummy hidden on Jin Yun's bed, and their backs were upset.
