Li Jinglong suddenly remembered something, walked quickly to the front hall, and looked up at the wisdom sword in Fudo Mingwang's hand. The majestic appearance of King Fudo Ming seems to be guarding the common people in 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." Qiu Yongsi explained, "It is rumored that it can destroy all demon energy in the world."
Hong Jun frowned deeply, he couldn't look up at King Ming, and then looked at Li Jinglong's shuriken. At this moment, he only had one doubt in his heart - why can the sword of wisdom break the five-color divine light? Chongming said that the five-color divine light is known as the strongest shield in the world, and it can resist even Mount Tai falling down.
"So as long as you use this magic weapon properly." Qiu Yongsi comforted, "Chang Shi, it is not a dream for you to become an exorcist without innate spiritual veins. The 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 encountered some kind of setback last night. He didn't say anything, and everyone didn't ask. After observing the words and expressions, Li Jinglong has regained some confidence.
"Continue to investigate the case today." Li Jinglong explained, "No matter what rumors are outside, remember that we do our own business and have nothing to do with others."
Everyone responded, and Li Jinglong asked Qiu Yongsi to be in the same group as Hong Jun, and Artest to be in the same group as Mo Zhigen. He acts alone. Qiu Yongsi and Hong Jun went to investigate the whereabouts of the candidates in Chang'an, while Artest and Mo Rigen went to Pingkangli to inquire about the candidates who went to the brothel for fun in the near future.
"Is it necessary?" Artest said, "Chang Shi, why don't we think of a way first..."
"Ignore the affairs of the Daming Palace." Li Jinglong said, "I won't believe it until I investigate this case to the end."
Everyone looked at Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong turned around and said, "It's not that I'm trying to be brave, don't you think it's suspicious that a mummy suddenly appeared with no name or surname and no one claimed it?"
"Okay." Qiu Yongsi finally said, "Listen to you, check."
"What about you?" Hong Jun asked, "You can come with us."
"I have something to do." Li Jinglong replied absent-mindedly, still frowning.
"Let's go together." Hong Jun stretched out his hand to pull Li Jinglong's sleeve again, and Li Jinglong hurriedly said: "Don't pull and pull, this is the government! What's the proper way?" After speaking, he left the door and ran quickly.
At noon, Hong Jun was still confused, and only followed Qiu Yongsi when he went out to investigate the case. This was the first time he acted alone with a partner other than Li Jinglong, but why did he and Qiu Yongsi form a group
Qiu Yongsi is tall and big, holding a folding fan in his hand, and walking with wind. He stopped and walked, sometimes standing and waiting for Hongjun.
"Go to the Imperial College, let's go." Qiu Yongsi asked, "Are you hungry? Have a snack and go to rest?"
Hong Jun waved his hand: "I'm not gluttonous, how can I be so hungry."
Qiu Yongsi said to himself again with a smile: "Chang Shi brought the two of us together, so we can't fish when we work."
Hong Jun replied solemnly: "When will you wait to see Chang Shi?"
Qiu Yongsi laughed loudly, and said: "Chang Shi is a good man, but it is different from what we first imagined. It is our fault, that's all. But..." Qiu Yongsi changed his mind, put away the folding fan, glanced at Hongjun, and asked: " But you, Hong Jun, what is it that made you believe in him from the beginning?"
Hong Jun thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because the light of his heart is on him."
"Heart lamp?" Qiu Yongsi was taken aback.
Since everyone came to collect the demon king, Hong Jun didn't hide it, and told Qiu Yongsi that the heart lamp had entered Li Jinglong's body by mistake. Qiu Yongsi pondered for a moment, and then said: "So that's what I said, Ever since you entered the Exorcist Division, you have followed Li Jinglong every day, is there anything wrong with us?"
Hong Jun hurriedly said nothing of the matter, Qiu Yongsi said to himself: "If the light of heart is on him, then this guy might really be able to fulfill his wish."
Hong Jun didn't know how big the heart lamp was, but Qiu Yongsi looked like this, and he knew a lot about the magic weapon. Maybe he had a way to take out the heart lamp... When he was about to ask again, the two had arrived in front of the Imperial College. He gestured for him to deal with it.
There are people coming and going at the gate of the Guozijian. The fifth day of the next month is the day of the exam. There are 6,000 people gathered here from all over the country. The exam period is approaching. In order to avoid leaking questions and taking the exam on behalf of others, all those who enter and leave the Guozijian will be searched. To carry the books outside, you need to hold the Guozijian pass card.
Qiu Yongsi and Hong Jun stood outside the street, seeing people coming and going outside, Qiu Yongsi waited with bated breath, and when there were too many people, Qiu Yongsi pulled Hongjun.
"Hey! Brother Wang! Brother Wang, wait for me!" Seeing someone passing by, Qiu Yongsi pulled Hong Jun and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, I forgot my token..."
At that time, there were many students at the gate, and Qiu Yongsi was hurriedly searched. The guard asked, "Where's the card?"
Qiu Yongsi: "I forgot to bring it! I'll go back and get it now!"
The people in the back were urging to hurry up, the guards were impatient, and they couldn't find anything anyway, so they had to let him in. Hong Jun was also searched all over, but there was nothing there, and when he was about to pass by, the other party asked, "Where's the card?"
"Wait, neither of them has a token? The one in front, stop! Which courtyard do you two belong to?"
Hong Jun thumped in his heart, not knowing what to do, Qiu Yongsi came over, and said to the two guards: "He is a barbarian! I don't understand, the card is in my room, hey! Card!"
Hong Jun came back to his senses, and immediately smiled and said: "Hi baa Houbi! My dear friend from Datang!"
Hong Jun wanted to go forward to hug him, but the students behind him were already waiting to explode. There were two gatekeepers at the gate of the Imperial College who were already upset, so the guards had to let both of them in.
Qiu Yongsi led Hongjun through the side corridor, looked back from time to time, and said, "Fortunately, I came in, go to the supervisor here."
Hong Jun asked: "Why don't we climb over the wall and come in?"
In Hong Jun's eyes, no matter entering the Imperial Palace, Daming Palace, or Guozijian, it is like walking on the ground. The only difference is the color of the wall in front of him. Qiu Yongsi was dumbfounded when he was asked such a question. Why not over the wall
"Don't always solve problems violently." Qiu Yongsi replied.
When the two arrived in the prison room, Qiu Yongsi only said to find three fellow countrymen, and motioned Hong Jun to write, and Hong Jun took a pen to write down the names of the three people. The supervisor told them that in the T-shaped building of Meiyuan, the two walked through the long corridor again, and went to the inside of Meiyuan through the side hall.
The side hall was built extremely spacious, where the students drank tea and chatted. Hong Jun and Qiu Yongsi hurried past the side hall. Suddenly Hong Jun stopped and glanced into the side hall involuntarily.
Qiu Yongsi asked: "What?"
"Nothing." Hong Jun replied.
"Trust your intuition." Qiu Yongsi said, "We are investigating."
Hong Jun said: "There is a strange familiar feeling."
"Describe?" Qiu Yongsi glanced sideways at Hong Jun.
How does it feel like being at home? Nearly forty people gathered in that side hall, all of them were whispering, talking and laughing students, some old and some young.
At this moment, a teenager bowed his head and bumped into Hong Jun inadvertently. Hong Jun staggered, the young man hurriedly apologized, and looked up at Hong Jun.
The young man was thin and thin, and seemed to be younger than Hong Jun, with anxiety in his eyes, Hong Jun smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. The young man stepped into the side hall again, smiling sideways, obviously very pleased with himself.
Just such a movement, Hong Jun suddenly remembered the feeling in Yaojin Palace. The youths in the Yaojin Palace are all incarnations of birds. There is a demonic aura in the entire Yaojin Palace. It is only because Chongming's nature is noble and clean that he does not touch filth. .
"Monster." Hong Jun said.
Qiu Yongsi said nothing more, turned around and walked in with Hong Jun.
Hong Jun whispered: "You feel it too?"
Qiu Yongsi said: "The monsters have hit us, can't you feel it?"
Although there is no magic weapon such as a demon mirror, Hong Jun can still feel the demon aura because of the extremely close distance, and the two sat down in the side hall.
"Don't glance around." Qiu Yongsi was gentle and refined, and said to Hongjun with a smile, "Xiao Langjun, here is fried rice, how about a cup of tea?"
"Okay, okay!" Hong Jun likes to drink the tea made by Qiu Yongsi the most. The cheese is crispy and salty, and the tea leaves are fresh. Add some sesame seeds and break it open. Sprinkle a handful of fried rice on it. Simply delicious.
"Pretend your usual harmless appearance to humans and animals." Qiu Yongsi said with a smile again, "Look around, whoever keeps looking at us is a monster, and let me know if you see it."
Hongjun: "..."
Hong Jun probed his head and looked around, his eyes were full of curiosity from outsiders entering Chang'an. At that time, the desks in the side hall were neatly displayed in rows, and there were pots and stoves under the desks. With big white clouds floating and the sun shining in, it is really a comfortable and lazy place to rest.
The students were all talking about their own things, and occasionally someone looked at them after a few cases, but it was just a glance.
"Someone is watching us." Hong Jun smiled at Qiu Yongsi, "According to what you said, there are not many monsters?"
"That's right, this is entering the den of monsters." Qiu Yongsi said with a smile on his face, "We can't do it now, otherwise the Imperial College will be destroyed again, and Chang Shi will cry."
After Hong Jun found a table, there were three young people talking and laughing happily, and another young man boiled water for them. No one paid any attention to the boy during the conversation, he seemed very bored, so he turned his head and stared at the courtyard outside the hall in a daze. Not long after, his eyes turned, and Hong Jun happened to meet his eyes, and then he smiled.
There was a bit of a woman's tenderness in that smile, Hong Jun's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and his handsome face turned red to the base of his ears.
Hong Jun also smiled awkwardly, and Qiu Yongsi asked, "What monster?"
"Maybe it's a fox." Hong Jun turned his head and said to Qiu Yongsi.
In that smile just now, Hong Jun felt a very obvious charm.
The boy actually got up, walked towards the two, sat in front of the desk, and said with a smile: "This tea is really fragrant."
Hongjun: "!!!"
Qiu Yongsi was indifferent, and said: "It will be cooked in a while, don't worry, what's the name of the little brother?"
"Du Hanqing." The boy bent his willow-leaf eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be covered with water, and his body was weak. He pressed the front of the desk, his eyes just glanced at Hongjun's face and chest, and he got closer, and asked, "How about you?"
Uh... don't get too close, Hongjun said in his heart, and Qiu Yongsi introduced: "Qiu Yongsi, from Hangzhou, this is my cousin, Xiao Hongjun. Hongjun, you two should be about the same age, so get closer."
"You just entered Beijing?" Du Hanqing said without taking his eyes off Hong Jun's, "The exam will start on the fifth day of next month."
Hong Jun was very uncomfortable when he saw it, and knew that it was a fox demon, but before he could think about it, Qiu Yongsi stretched his foot over from the case and kicked him calmly.
Hong Jun didn't know what to do, he looked at Du Hanqing's eyes and laughed.
Du Hanqing couldn't help laughing, and asked, "How old are you?"
The two talked about their ages, and Hong Jun was two months older than Du Hanqing, so Du Hanqing changed his name to "brother". Asked where the two lived, Qiu Yongsi only answered that he stayed at a relative's house in the city. Today, he came to the Imperial College to step on the site and meet Mr. Wang.
"You came here to try at such a young age?" Hong Jun said, "It's really not easy."
Du Hanqing smiled and said, "I was poor since I was a child, and they all expected me to get a good name in the exam." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to play with the jasper peacock feather on Hong Jun's waist. Pressing it hurriedly, Qiu Yongsi said: "It has been turned on."
Du Hanqing nodded, and someone called "Han Qing" not far away. When the water was ready, Du Hanqing went over to make tea for them.
Hong Jun observed Du Hanqing, thinking that he just didn't know whether he had killed anyone, and how many people he had killed. He heard Qingxiong say in Yaojin Palace that fox demons are best at playing with emotions and deceiving people's hearts. The emotions of demons are the most similar to those of humans, and they are also the most bitter, because they experience all kinds of feelings of being human, but they can't get rid of the demon body.
"He'll come back later." Qiu Yongsi handed Hongjun a white marble jade Buddha and said, "Just give him this."
"He won't come." Hong Jun said.
"He will come." Qiu Yongsi said, "This kid has taken a fancy to you. It's obvious. Fortunately, Li Changshi is not here."
Hong Jun: "?"
Sure enough, after a while, Du Hanqing came back after making tea. It seemed that his friends were just ordering him to do this and that, and didn't want to talk to him.
Hong Jun stared at Du Hanqing, but Du Hanqing blushed, laughed, and said, "Why are you always looking at me?"
"You're pretty." Hong Jun said, he really felt that Du Hanqing's weak Liu Fufeng's appearance did have an indescribable charm.
"Do you read poetry?" Du Hanqing asked Hongjun.
Hong Jun immediately said: "Read!"
"Who do you like?" Du Hanqing asked again.
"Li Bai." Hong Jun said, "I like him the most."
Du Hanqing said, "I really like Wang Changling."
So Hong Jun talked about poetry enthusiastically, and he had to say that although Du Hanqing was a monster, his poetry skills were quite good. The more Hong Jun chatted, the more active he was, he had forgotten that the guy in front of him was a fox demon, and he only tried to make him accept Li Bai's poem, but made Du Hanqing angry.
As the day went by, Qiu Yongsi smiled and said, "We have to go too, right?"
Du Hanqing said, "I'm ignoring you."
Hong Jun laughed and said, "Do you like it?"
Hong Jun put the Jade Buddha on the table, and pushed his finger to Du Hanqing. Du Hanqing exclaimed, and Hong Jun said: "You like jade, right? I just saw that you like my waist pendant, but it was given by my father." , I can’t send you, here, here, I’ll give you this.”
Before Hong Jun got acquainted with people, he always looked ignorant, but once he chatted, he was in high spirits and high spirits. He couldn't help patting Du Hanqing. Du Hanqing was very moved when he took the Jade Buddha. Look at Hongjun.
"I'll come to you tomorrow." Du Hanqing said.
"Ah?" Hong Jun was dumbfounded, and thought to himself, it would be very dangerous if you entered the Exorcist Department.
Qiu Yongsi said: "There are a lot of relatives in the family, can you two meet somewhere?"
Hong Jun nodded, and made an appointment with Du Hanqing under the Lishui Bridge at noon tomorrow.
At dusk, Li Jinglong came out of Fengfu.
Feng Changqing leaned on crutches, stood at the door, and said slowly: "Finally, I have made some progress. You never asked me this before."
Li Jinglong was silent, and Feng Changqing said again: "I also understand your ambitions, but being an official in the court is not like what you think. Being an official is nothing more than the word 'deception'. Wait If you can’t hide it, it’s when you have a chance.”
Li Jinglong said: "When it's time to hide it, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"For them." Feng Changqing said, "It's never too late, go ahead and discuss it carefully."
Li Jinglong's deeply furrowed brows were never untied, and after listening to Feng Changqing's words, he became even more anxious.
It was dusk when he came out of the Imperial College, and Hong Jun remembered that he didn't check the three people.
"It's in the hall." Qiu Yongsi said, "It's all changed into a fox demon."
Hong Jun's jaw dropped immediately.
When Cai Hongjun was chatting with Du Hanqing just now, Qiu Yongsi listened carefully to the messy conversation in the hall. When the names of those people came into his ears, Qiu Yongsi observed it.
"'Change' into a fox demon?"
"Otherwise? Where do you think foxes will study hard for ten years and go to Beijing to take the exam?" Qiu Yongsi said, "It must be that after entering Chang'an, all the scholars were replaced by foxes. 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."
Hong Jun: "What about the original person?"
Qiu Yongsi glanced at Hong Jun, both of them thought of the mummy hidden on Jin Yun's bed, and the hairs on their backs stood on end.
