Legend of the Tang Dynasty

I wanted to use this case to make meritorious service, but after the case was laid out in front of everyone, Mr. Wang was naturally eager to hand over this hot potato. After handing over the case, he left a few for Chen Yuming to help. Oiled the soles of his feet and slipped non-stop.

Without the idlers and others, several people also felt that it was more convenient. Chen Ximing said, "It seems that most of what Gu Pingsheng said last night is true."

"He mentioned that the demon spirit was imprisoned in a glazed lamp and sacrificed. Shall we find that lamp?" Mo Wuwan said

"Well, the glazed cup is in the Hall of Eternal Life?" Chen Yanming said

"Yes, no one except us knows that the monster came from the lamp, so the Palace of Longevity is still the same." Mo Wuwan said

"Walk."

When they came to the Hall of Eternal Life, they found a faintly glowing glazed jade cup among the many rare furnishings after walking to the side room. Qing and Bian Zechuan almost said together

"I don't think it's in there."

Bian Zechuan could perceive the spiritual power of the same attribute as him, while Suqing's Lingtu restrained water, and was naturally sensitive to the water system. The few people relaxed their vigilance a little. Chen Yuming walked over to pick up the jade lamp, and looked at it a few times with his yin and yang eyes Afterwards: "Only some remnants of evil spirit."

"Since it can come out of the lamp, I think it will never return to the lamp." Shen Yin said

"Not necessarily, I really think it can't get rid of this lamp." Chen Yuming said: "Although there is little monster energy in this lamp, it is extremely pure. It must have taken off the lamp before we arrived, which means that it has absorbed After the soul is born, it still needs to recover and recuperate in this lamp, and it is only in order to avoid us that we have to abandon the lamp and hide."

"Wonder beasts that belong to water are naturally inseparable from water." Bian Zechuan said

"But has it already left the imperial city?" Shen Moaned

"I can't go that far." Chen Yuming thought for a while and said, "Taiye Pond!"

Everyone hurried to Taiye Pool. In order to hurt the innocent, they retreated from the palace people, and there were only five of them left in the entire Taiye Pool.

Mo Wuwan looked around and said: "It's so big, it looks like it's two or three meters deep, how do you find it?"

"Zechuan, is there any way?" Chen Qiming said

"I can try to find out whether the monster is in the pool, but it may be difficult to force it out." Bian Zechuan said

Chen Ximing nodded and said, "Well, let's start first."

Bian Zechuan slightly stretched his hands and lifted a light blue aura, and when he looked again, seven daggers floating in the air appeared on the aura, and following Bian Zechuan's command, the seven daggers emitting silver light The sword broke through the water, and the eyes of several people followed the dagger into the bottom of the water, only Bian Zechuan closed his eyes and looked at it.

While controlling the sword, he sensed the situation at the bottom of the water. Suddenly, with several jets of water rising up to the sky, Bian Zechuan withdrew the short sword and said, "Su Qing, set a seal, immediately."

After hearing this, Su Qing knew that the monster must be hiding at the bottom of the water. He nodded and immediately flew into action. He set up a seal of spiritual soil in all directions of Taiye Pool to prevent the monster from escaping.

Chen Yuming looked at Bian Zechuan and said, "Inside?"

"Yes, and it may not be the same as we thought." Bian Zechuan said

"How?" Mo Wuwan asked

"It may not be a monster at all, but the river god at the place where the flood flooded." Bian Zechuan said

"What?" Chen Yuming asked in disbelief.

Bian Zechuan also found it inconceivable and said: "My spiritual weapon is more sensitive in the water. Apart from the monster energy, I can also perceive the same spiritual power as me. Although it is low but pure, it is definitely not a demon spirit."

"Then...why does the river god want to harm people?" Mo Buwan was puzzled.

"I suspect that it may be that Governor Xu used some improper method to sacrifice to the river god, and even cursed the river god on that side, causing him to fall into the demon way." Bian Zechuan guessed

Chen Yuming's eyes gradually calmed down, and he said calmly: "No matter what it is, we must not let go of those who cause harm to the world."

After Su Qing finished sealing, several people returned to Hanyuan Hall, they glanced at the corpses and said: "Qi Ming, put these people down, they are always hanging like this..."

Seeing Mo Buwan couldn't help shivering, Chen Yuming immediately remembered his fear of ghosts, waved to the guard next to him and said, "Quick, put them all down."

After the six female corpses were put down, Shen Yin knelt down and inspected the corpses without hesitation, and subconsciously hid behind Chen Yuming and said, "Senior sister is really a hero among women..."

Shen Yin looked at it and said: "There is nothing else, but there is one thing that is a little strange...the blood of these corpses has been drained."

These words aroused Chen Yuming's doubts. He wanted to go forward to check the corpses, but suddenly he realized that Mo Buwan behind him was still gently pinching the corner of his clothes with two fingers. He didn't dare to go there even if he thought about it, so Chen Yuming still stood in the same tunnel. : "Are the six corpses all the same?"

Shen Yin nodded, and Chen Yuming said to himself: "Does this monster need to suck blood?"

"Blood-sucking? So the basis of its operation is not water but blood?" Mo Wuwai revealed a head behind Chen Yuming and said

These words awakened Chen Yuming, and he continued: "So if we want to force out that river monster, we need to use blood."

"That means it won't be able to stay in Taiye Pool for long." Shen Yin said

"Fortunately, we went to Taiye Pond first, otherwise it might have escaped again." Bian Zechuan said

Chen Qiming signaled his subordinates to carry out the corpses and said, "Bury them all."

"Are these corpses useless?" Mo Buwan asked

"This case is not difficult to solve. It can basically be regarded as turning the clouds and seeing the sun after the investigation." Chen Yuming glanced at the corpses that were carried away and said

"But we haven't even seen a demon yet." Su Qing puzzled

Chen Ximing gently pulled out Mobuwan who was hiding behind him, and said: "The monster is imprisoned by you, and Zechuan has already guessed most of its origin. Coupled with all the previous analysis, I think today's disaster is Because the seal on the glazed cup could no longer seal the River Demon, it broke out in order to prey on human blood. The crux of the problem now is not the imperial city, but the ignorant and arrogant Xu Duban back then. "

Everyone has already understood what Chen Qiming meant, Bian Zechuan said: "After the river monster is caught, the evidence is convincing, then Governor Xu will have no choice but to deny it."

Chen Yuming's eyes were sharp and he said: "I would like to ask, what is he intending to do by dedicating this evil spirit to the Holy One?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the river demon hadn't shown up, a few people dispersed the palace people separately, and cast talismans everywhere in the Daming Palace. However, the civil and military officials who were still in Chang'an in the court heard about this incident. The company is a decoration for Di Renjie's decentralization of power. I didn't expect that there really are monsters in this world, and they are still in the imperial city grandiosely.

After the sky fell, the entire Daming Palace was washed away from its glitz and glamour. The lights were still bright, but the air of death and suffocation permeated it was suffocating.

The river demon is a god who often lives at the bottom of the river, but after being transformed into a demon, it must rely on cannibal blood to survive, and it is now at a critical moment to restore its demonic power after it is unsealed, and the frequency of needing cannibal blood is higher, so it can't be used How long it will be forced out of the bottom.

A few people stood quietly in the Taiye Pond, the moonlight was on the surface of the water, but the shimmering light seemed to be stagnant water with bones.

Midnight was approaching, and the Chi Yan in Mo Buwan's hand shimmered faintly. He glanced at it and whispered: "It should come out soon."

Several people nodded their heads, and at the moment when they were all on alert, they suddenly felt a shaking in the soles of their feet, which seemed to originate from the tremors in the ground.

Chen Yuming stepped forward sideways and said, "Everyone, be careful."

After speaking, the vibration of the entire Taiye Pool suddenly stopped, and the river demon in the pool rushed out of the water in an instant during the quiet panting. dawn.

Chen Yuming held the sword and shouted: "Go!"

At first, the river demon didn't want to fight, but only wanted to run away, but he couldn't escape after being hit by Su Qing's seal, and Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan rushed over behind him, and the river demon fled in all directions. After getting down, he was cornered by Bian Zechuan's Yujian. Seeing it writhing incessantly, Chen Yuming frowned and said

"It doesn't seem like it wants to attack us."

Could it be too late to take Chi Yanfei and walk away: "Whatever it thinks? I'll just kill it!"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Yuming said to Mobuwan who was in mid-air: "Only by capturing it alive can there be evidence against Governor Xu! If Chiyan kills it, it will be wiped out!"

Could it be too late to hold back after hearing his voice, Chen Yuming just wanted Su Qing to tie it up first, but before he could say it, the river demon suddenly went mad, and layers of dark clouds gathered in the sky, even the The moonlight is barely visible.

Bian Zechuan's swords were suddenly shaken away by the river monster's power, Shen Yin saw that he was defeated, and immediately shook out his folding fan to fight the river monster, Bian Zechuan staggered a few times in the air, stopped his movements and said

"Be careful, Yin'er! This monster seems to be broken!"

Su Qing switched from side support to frontal attack and Shen Yin resisted the monster together. Shen Yin clearly felt the growing power of the monster. Sure enough, the next moment, the power of the monster broke through the barrier and broke a huge pavilion pillar .

While facing the battle, Shen Yin said: "Qi Ming! Ze Chuan's words are correct. The river monster went crazy because it couldn't suppress the demon in its body. What should we do now?"

Chen Ximing said very clearly in his mind: "Spirit-dividing curse, since you can't kill it now, you must call back the awake one!"

Secret spells have always been Chen Yuming's strength, and only Chen Yuming can use such infrequently used spells. Chen Yuming drew the ground as a boundary, put the sword in his hand in one place, and made a few handprints with his hands together. , vibrating in the mouth

"Ten thousand demons are not safe, desires stagnate, good spirits will be dispatched, and the ancients will not come out, break!"

A ray of golden light swung from between Chen Yuming's two fingers, instantly suppressing the wantonly flying river demon, and then even with a whimper, it gradually transformed into a human form within a short while.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the river monster seemed to have no strength, and fell limply to the ground. After everyone got together, Chen Yuming said: "This is the first time I use this method, everyone still needs to be cautious."

At this time, the river demon suddenly regained consciousness, and his eyes changed from white to original black. He looked at Chen Yuming and the others and said in horror: "What have I done? What have I done!"

Mo Buwan frowned and said, "You don't know what you did?"

The memory of the river demon seemed to flood into his mind in an instant. He shook his head frantically, his eyes were full of unacceptable expressions, and said in pain: "I killed people...killed so many..."

Chen Yuming remembered what Bian Zechuan said earlier, and asked, "You used to be the god of the river?"

The river demon lying on the ground looked at Chen Yuming, nodded with difficulty and said: "I used to control a water area and was regarded as the god of the river..."

"Since it is worshiped by incense, why does the precipitation affect the people?" Chen Yuming asked

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are the great wheel of fate. How can I stop them by myself? What's more, most of the floods have been dealt with that year, but one day, your human race awakened the monster in the water, and it swallowed me and died with you." The human race reached an agreement to use blood sacrifices in exchange for disaster peace."

"Blood sacrifice?" Mo Wuwan said

"When it's cloudy every month, a pair of virgin boy and virgin girl."

"What!" Chen Yuming gritted his teeth and said

Mo Buwan lightly shook his arm to comfort him, then looked at the river monster and said, "In this case, why were you imprisoned in the glazed cup?"

The river demon sneered and said: "That person from the human race did, at the beginning, offer a pair of boys and girls every month according to the agreement. Imprisoned in that glazed cup."

The river demon looked around and said: "I am possessed by a demon, and I only live by sucking human blood. When I was in the cup, I was tearing my body apart all day long. Now...how old is it?"

"The first year of Yifeng." Chen Yuming said coldly

Seeing that the year name had changed, the river demon sighed, "Kill me."

"No, you have to meet with us in Dongdu, and you have to say what you said just now to His Majesty." Chen Yuming said

"I'm afraid it won't work..." The river demon began to struggle

"Why? On Huangquan Road, don't you want to take the person who hurt you to die with you?" Mo Wuwan said

The veins on the river demon's neck gradually rose, and he said in a suppressed voice, "Your spirit spell will not last long... That demon is about to wake up, if you don't kill me..."

The river demon used his remaining spiritual power to restrain his demon nature, knelt on the ground and said in pain: "I have done so many evils, and every time I wake up, I want to kill myself... If you don't do anything... this demon will destroy My mind completely occupies my body...Even...even if you capture it, it won't say what you want anymore..."

Looking at the twisted body of the river demon, he couldn't bear it and said: "Qi Ming, give him a good time."

Chen Yuming sighed deeply, nodded, seeing that he agreed, he unsheathed Chi Yan and penetrated the chest of the river demon. The demon in the river demon's body let out a howl in an instant, and was sent out of the river demon immediately. body, dissipated in mid-air.

The river demon, who was finally no longer under the control of evil things, looked at Chi Yan on his chest, with a relieved smile on his face, and said softly: "Thank you."

The billowing thick clouds in the sky cleared away, the wind was sparse and the stars were bright, and the Taiye Pool was full of auspiciousness again.

Looking at the corpse of the river demon, Chen Ximing still sighed and said: "Although he was driven by evil spirits, he still has his original nature. Send him to Xingjiao Temple to seek conversion for him."

After several people returned to the Demon Suppressing Division, Bian Zechuan said: "Although the case is settled, whether it is the river demon or the river god, we have no evidence at all."

Chen Qiming also said: "In this way, there is no evidence to accuse Governor Xu. If we tell the truth, those treacherous villains will definitely bite us, and the matter of subduing the demon in the Hanyuan Palace will become nonsense."

"Aggrieved, we are so desperate, how come it becomes nonsense?" Mobu said angrily

Chen Qiming looked at him and said, "Let's discuss it with the director before making a conclusion. It has nothing to do with credit. In short...you can't let everyone do so much for nothing."
