If you touch the corpse, you will become stronger. At the beginning, you can touch Huashan swordsman

"Now I have something to ask you, are you familiar with Guozi Temple and its surroundings?"

When Gu Taiyan heard this, his eyes lit up at first, but after thinking that he was expelled, he lost his mind again.

"My lord, I have been here for more than six years. It is an exaggeration to say that even if you throw me on the street, I can find my way back with my eyes closed."

"Very good, the officer will give you a task now. You still pretend to be a student who is taking the test, and check the people nearby. If there is any suspicious person, or someone pretending to be a student, record it and notify Zuixianlou The old shopkeeper is fine, he is one of our own."

"This matter is very simple, just leave it to me, and I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Go..."

"Yes!"

Xu Xin actually didn't have high expectations for him, the main reason was to let Gu Taiyan get acquainted with the things he needed.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, a spy reported that Gu Taiyan had completed the task.

Xu Xin, the old drunkard and Xiao Shan hurried to the Tianzihao room, waiting for Gu Taiyan to report.

"My lord, I like Gu Boy, an old alcoholic, he is a talent."

Xu Xin naturally understands what he means. It is very unlikely that he will win the God of Tiedan in this life, but if his apprentice can win his apprentice, won't that prove that he is stronger than the God of Tiedan? ?

"If you think it's good, then let him go to the Department of Internal Health to learn professional knowledge, or just follow you."

The two looked at each other, and laughed out loud.

In the middle of the night, Gu Taiyan finally came to the Tianzihao room.

"My... my lord, I found that although several people are wearing Confucian robes, their behavior does not look like a scholar at all."

"Don't worry, speak slowly," Xu Xin poured out a glass of water and handed it to him.

"After meeting the adults and you separated, I lingered around the place where I gathered with my students as usual. Later, in an inn in the west of the city, I found a group of suspicious people."

"Although they carry their bags, they drink heavily and eat meat. They don't have the temperament of scholars and literati at all, and they never communicate with the people around them. interest."

"It seems to be waiting for some order."

Gu Taiyan took a sip of water, and continued to talk in a moist voice.

"So I pretended to be drunk, chatted with them, and asked them where there were still rooms available, and they told them that there were still rooms available in the Yuelai Inn where they were staying."

The old drunkard nodded in satisfaction: "I haven't received any training, and it's very rare to be able to play by ear. They must be masters, but they didn't even discover your identity. You are brave and resourceful, not bad! Just be more careful in the future , I only have one life, so you have to protect yourself first.”

"Students are also afraid now..." Gu Taiyan wiped his sweat.

Xu Xin also cast an approving look: "If you can successfully arrest them, no matter whether they are criminals or not, I will credit you with credit!"

"It's getting late, so you should go home and rest first. In the morning of tomorrow, go to the Imperial City Guard to report to the old drunkard. We still have something to do, so let's go first!"

Xu Xin smiled at Gu Taiyan, and then led Xiao Shan and the old drunkard into the night.

Chapter 117 The Lost Tang Sect Hidden Weapon The three of them leaned on the edge of the window sill in the dark, carefully poked holes in the paper window, and looked at the few people in the room.

The four people in the room were all holding books in their hands, and they really looked like they were studying for homework.

The old drunkard was wondering if there was anything wrong, when one of them turned a page, and a familiar picture came into view, it was the "Jin Ping Mei Hua Arrangement Edition" that he had been thinking about day and night.

"My lord, can you give me all the books after you tidy them up? Old man, I want to read too." The old drunkard smiled and piled up his folds.

"Can you bear the excitement?" Xu Xin looked contemptuous.

"Hush your voice! They're talking!" Xiao Shan reminded the two of them in a low voice.

"Brother, it seems that we are safe for the time being. The spies placed by Dongchang and Hulong Villa have come to report, saying that the queen mother ordered them to just look forward to the trial and leave the rest alone."

"In this way, can't we proceed to the next step?"

"The spies from the Imperial City Guard haven't come back yet..."

"Don't you know? All the Anzi in the Imperial City Guard are dead! They were all captured and killed by the 'Living Hades'! The newly recruited [-] Imperial City Guards have also returned from training. It seems that we need to be more careful. OK."

"Don't worry too much, now that he is fighting with the Queen Mother and the cabinet, he has no time to manage us! Haha!"

"That would be the best!"

Outside the window, Xu Xin stretched out his finger to signal.

"three"

"two"

"One"

The three of them breathed enough air and blasted out a palm.

The window and the surrounding walls were instantly reduced to powder, forming a big hole.

"I'm sorry, everyone, hurry up and explain, I'm a little sleepy, I have to go back to bed early."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the four of them dropped the books in their hands, pulled out the machete hidden under the table, and rushed towards the three black shadows outside.

But how could they be the opponents of Xu Xin and the three of them, after a dozen breaths, the four of them were subdued.

"What on earth do you Doll Villa want to do in the capital?" Xu Xin held the saber that he had snatched, and threatened one of them by putting it on his neck.

"Hehe, guess what! It's a big deal to give you some hints!" After speaking, he wiped his mouth, foamed at the mouth, and lost his breath instantly.

"No, they committed suicide by taking poison!" The old drunkard screamed, and then rolled up the "Jin Ping Mei" in his hand and stuffed it into the mouth of the person next to him.

Unexpectedly, the man gave the old drunkard a contemptuous look, as if mocking him for his incompetence, and then made another "pop", breaking his pulse.

All of a sudden, blood gushed out from the mouth, eyes, ears, and nostrils. The old drunkard wanted to pull out the book in distress, but he didn't know that the man had already been bitten to death.The man's brain burst, and he was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

"My book! My book!" The old drunkard pulled out the already colorful books, wanting to cry without tears.

"Just hang up like this!?" Xu Xin said in surprise, "I haven't used torture yet..."

"My book! Woo..." The old drunk pinched the corner of the book with his fingers and was still crying.

Xu Xin just kicked in the past: "It's not over yet! The rest of the head is buried in the ground, can you keep your image! Come and help me with the autopsy!"

The old drunk woke up with a kick from Xu Xin, and began to check the corpse cursingly.

"I'm sure it's the people from Doll Villa. Every time they send out 'dolls', they will hide a pill on their last molars. If they are caught, they will bite the pill and commit suicide."

The old drunkard opened the corpse's mouth and checked the mouth.

"The people in Doll Villa are bloody! If you can't complete the mission, you will commit suicide!" Xu Xin admired the four people who died.

"No, no, if the task is not completed, if they don't go back on time, the poison in their bodies will explode, and they can't control their bodies, but their consciousness is completely awake. When the time comes every day, their whole bodies will feel like they are being torn apart by thousands of insects. Bite, that would make life worse than death." The old drunkard explained.

Xiao Shan asked in confusion: "Then why don't they run away?"

After the autopsy, the old drunkard began to pinch the corner of the book and look at himself in pity: "I can't run away, Xiaoyao Hou also planted a mother Gu on them, and I can find them with the child Gu. There are too many strange things in Doll Villa, and I can't escape." Not everyone knows... my book..."

Unexpectedly, the doll villa is so insane, even its own dead soldiers are so cruel, but it's none of Xu Xin's business, just confirm that it's the people from the doll villa.

After Xu Xin touched the four corpses, he realized that the four of them were all masters of the Divine Hidden Realm, and they had added 60 years of internal strength to themselves.

It's a pity that I didn't show any signs of breaking through...

"That's enough! Old drunkard! You want me to see if I can find it for you then! Throw that broken book over here and see what's in my hand!"

When the old drunkard heard this, he was instantly overjoyed, threw the book away, came to Xu Xin in a hurry, and looked at it carefully for a while.

"My lord, what did you find on them? This thing is terrible! It is a powerful weapon refined by the Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan. When the time is up, it will explode, even if I meet the old man, I guess I have to go see Hades..."

Through the words of the old drunkard, Xu Xin learned that because the Thunder Dart was so lethal, when Emperor Chengzu was alive, he had already wiped out the Tang Sect in the middle of Shu, so later generations never saw it again.

The old drunkard also learned from the dossier that there are such powerful weapons in the world, but he doesn't know why the people in Doll Villa can still refine them.What I am most worried about now is that I don't know how much stock they have, and what is the purpose of bringing the capital...

Ever since, the three decided to act separately.

The old drunkard went back to mobilize the imperial guards, Xiao Shan went to Hulong Villa, Xu Xin hurried to Dongchang, and tried to get the three companies to join forces to find out the situation as soon as possible.

When everyone knew that the Doll Villa has now reappeared the prohibited items from more than a hundred years ago, they panicked.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Xin came to the cabinet early with the thunder dart found on the corpse.

Xu Youzhen, who was temporarily acting as chief assistant, saw the real thing and asked tremblingly, "Master Xu, is everything you said true?"

"The technology of making him has only been mastered by the Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan, but after Emperor Chengzu exterminated them, the Thunder Dart has never appeared again. Could it be that there are still remnants?" Yu Huatian worried.

Xu Xin said, "Why don't we go out of the city and try?"

After experimenting with several specifications, Xu Xin and others felt a little lucky.

It seems that although the doll villa did not know where to get the production method, the refined products seem to be defective, and the power is not as great as imagined.

The only thing to worry about now is how many finished products they have on hand. If the quantity is sufficient, even if the power is small, it can still cause a lot of trouble.

"We have to catch some people, otherwise we don't know what they want to do!" Xu Xin looked at the shallow tunnel created by the explosion.

Unexpectedly, in the next few days, even if they dug three feet into the ground, they still couldn't find any trace of the Doll's Villa.

It's as if they don't exist in the world at all.

Standing on the top floor of Zuixian Tower, Xu Xin looked at the bustling crowd below and asked the old alcoholic beside him: "Do you think they will all hide and wait for an opportunity before they all come out?"

The old drunkard flipped through the book that Xu Xintuo printed for him, and replied without raising his head: "If it were me, I might wait until the moment when I lost my identity cover, otherwise I would stay in hiding."

A word to wake up the dreamer!

The people in the Doll Villa all use their identities as exam candidates as a cover, so the best time and place to do it is the palace exam hosted by the emperor himself!

On the main hall, there are not only the emperor, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, plus all the Jinshi who have been admitted to the imperial examination!

As long as all the thunder darts can be fired on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, not to mention the people present, the Hall of Supreme Harmony will be reduced to rubble.

Everyone in the imperial court will be buried in the explosion!

Thinking of the consequences, a gust of cold air rushed from Xu Xin's heels to his forehead, and then a figure flew towards the palace.

Seeing this, the old drunkard had a premonition that something was wrong, so he immediately put away his book and chased after him.

Chapter 118 Resolving the crisis

"My lord! Wait for me!" The old drunkard struggled to catch up.

"My lord! The imperial examination is held in the palace, and the security is extremely tight. It is impossible for people from the Doll Villa to sneak in."

"No, I'll go check it out, if their inner ghost also sneaks into the palace, it's over."

Xu Xin quickened his pace and disappeared from the old drunkard's sight.

……

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, red lanterns have been hung high, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. This year's No. [-] champion will be born here soon.

All the candidates are also high-spirited, as if the person in high school must be himself.

The chubby emperor also solemnly changed into the gown for the palace examination, and under Yuhuatian's guidance, he was about to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Just when the officials from the Ministry of Rituals were about to enter first, a roar full of dragon power suddenly came from the sky: "Stop! Dodge if you don't want to die."

Everyone moved away from the gate reflexively, and then a palm force shattered the bluestone bricks in front of the palace gate, and a figure fell into it, blocking the gate.

The dust and smoke gradually dissipated, and the Imperial Forest Army, Imperial City Guards, officials of the Ministry of Rites and others finally saw who it was that wanted to stop the palace examination from being held.

"Xu...Xu Xin! Master Xu! Why is it you again!"

The Minister of Rites looked at Xu Xin angrily, and roared.

"Master Xu! What are you going to do! The auspicious time for the imperial examination has come! You act like this! What do you look like! You have delayed the court's selection of officials! Can you take responsibility?"

Xu Xin ignored the clenched fist and gritted teeth of the Minister of Rites, and sternly dismissed everyone.

"I will give you a satisfactory answer to the matter later. Now please step back a little bit, it's not enough! Stay farther away!"

Even though they have encountered similar situations many times, it is still difficult for the fat emperor and Yu Huatian to adapt to Xu Xin's behavior style, let alone other people.

Helpless, Xu Xin had no choice but to wave his palms again to push everyone away.

"My lord Xu! I know that you have always been surly! But now the imperial examination is related to the great fortune of the country! You keep blocking it! Aren't you afraid of ruining the court!"

After the Minister of Rites finished speaking, he wanted to step forward and pull Xu Xin away.

"Go away! Don't force me to kill you!"

Xu Xin looked at him coldly, and slowly raised his palm.
