Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Suddenly there was a shout of killing in the empty valley.

Everyone looked closer and found that it was the people from Xuelong Palace and the people from Baigui Mountain Villa who were fighting... Not far from them, there was a stone gate, and behind it was the whole hill. It seemed that it was the entrance of the old castle.

"It seems that we met at the door, so we will fight first." Zhan Zhao said, looking at Zhao Pu, what does that mean—to intervene?

Zhao Pu was happy to sit on the mountain watching the tigers with his arms folded, and he spread his hands to the crowd, which meant—hit as soon as he hit, people make money and birds die for food, it's what they asked for!

Ever since, the crowd watched, and the White Ghost Villa and Xuelong Palace were completely darkened.

In the end, Xuelong Palace had a large number of people, and White Ghost Villa was somewhat at a disadvantage, but it was still impossible to tell the winner in a short time.

"stop!"

Just when everyone was a little sleepy watching, someone suddenly yelled.

Zhan Zhao was about to fall asleep, but when he heard the voice, he woke up, and curled his lips, "That kid Pan Xu...has another idea."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, "Do you think Pan Xu is behind the scenes this time?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "Is this... Anyway, he must have something to do with playing tricks!"

Looking at it again, the two parties below seem to have reached some kind of reconciliation, let's break the mechanism of Yaowangbao together.

"That boy Pan Xu seems to need money very much." Zhan Zhao felt a little incomprehensible, "It's a gambling debt or something."

"I don't think it's necessarily Pan Xu who is asking for money." Bai Yutang signaled Zhan Zhao to look at the people from Xuelong Palace behind Pan Xu.

It was only then that Zhan Zhao noticed that among the people in Xuelong Palace, some seemed to be of high status, and Pan Xu seemed to be very polite to them.

After the two parties decided not to kill each other, they opened the stone door together...

There was a loud bang, and the stone door slowly opened.

"Not very good."

The eagle suddenly said something.

Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"This stone gate doesn't look like it was opened for the first time."

Zhao Pu also came over, "There is no dust."

"Have they been here before?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

"Or..." Bai Yutang suddenly pointed to the distance, "There are always people here."

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of Bai Yutang's finger, and saw a person lying on the side of the mountain...

Everyone was taken aback when they looked at it suddenly...then saw the man lying on the back of a rock, half of his body exposed, as if he had already seen the person coming.

"That's her!" Long Miaomiao hurriedly said, "It was her that I saw that day!"

After Pan Xu and the others entered the cave, she followed in... Judging from her figure and movements, she looked like a woman, but the strange thing was that she didn't walk, but... crawled !

"Who is this disgusting person?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

"It doesn't look like a human. How can a human walk like this?" Bai Yutang gently touched his chin.

"I understand, so Tianmu is that thing!"

……

When everyone looked back, they saw that the person speaking was Gongsun lying on Zhao Pu's back.

Gongsun insisted on following. At first everyone didn't want to take him with him, fearing that he would encounter some danger, but Gongsun knew a lot, and he knew a lot about strange things. The most important thing was that he could detoxify. What kind of bad taste, it would be troublesome to set up some poisonous institutions.

"What's that?" Zhao Pu looked back at Gongsun, and he found that Gongsun was usually tough, but he had a weakness - he was afraid of heights!When he crossed the ice bridge just now, he was lying on his back and almost climbed up to his head. He was so strangled that he couldn't breathe. Now he is still lying on his stomach and refuses to get off.

"That's Bailong!" Gongsun said.

Everyone was silent for a moment—cut!

"It's not a real white dragon! It's a large white lizard! It's also called a white-backed dragon!" Gongsun said, "It's very precious. It lives longer than a turtle, and it only eats meat! It's extremely ferocious!"

"Lizard?" Zhan Zhao was just about to ask if this thing can eat people, when he heard screams coming from the mountain gate...

"This kind of lizard is very powerful. I've only seen it in books. They do have three rows of teeth in their mouths. In addition, because there is a white pattern on their back that looks like a woman, they are also called mermaids."

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of crying from a woman.

Everyone looks at Gongsun.

"This lizard sounds like a woman crying!" Gongsun clapped his hands, "It can't be wrong!"

"Then the medicine king's so-called medicine men were these lizards?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun nodded, "Maybe this valley has been isolated from the world for too long. This kind of lizard is afraid of the cold. It only comes out when it's hot. I'm going to sneak out to find something to eat, but I won't go too far."

"What did you just say?" Zhan Zhao picked out his ears, "Cub?"

"They are the same as pig dragons. They lay eggs. They kill each other after hatching in winter. They eat their own kind. When the flowers bloom in spring, there are only a few left. Then they grow to a large size in summer and meet each other in winter. Then there was a fight because of the competition for the nest, until there were only two left, one male and one female. The female would kill the male and eat the male after laying eggs... So this thing went round and round, and only one pair remained forever. Unless..." Before Gongsun finished speaking, he saw people from Xuelong Palace screaming and running out, with people from Baigui Villa behind them.

From behind them, hundreds of large and small white-backed lizards crawled out, opening their mouths to bite.

Xue Baigui was injured, retreating while fighting, Xuelong Palace was even worse, probably because he was dressed in white, those lizards thought they were of the same kind, and were bitten a lot.

"If this goes on like this, there will be heavy casualties!" Zhan Zhao wanted to go down and help out, whether this group of people stole treasures to make money, the crime could not be punished by death.

"It's not possible." Gongsun reminded everyone, "If you bite and bite, you will bite your own people."

Sure enough, after seeing those lizards chasing and biting people for a while, they began to kill each other...

For a time, the whole valley was filled with bloody smell, and the scene was very frightening.

Bai Yutang's face changed color when he saw the scene below, and Zhan Zhao asked him, "Would you like to find a place to vomit?"

Bai Yutang was helpless.

……

After waiting for another half an hour or so, most of the lizards were dead, and only a few remained, slowly crawling towards the other direction of the valley.

Xue Baigui seemed to be seriously injured, but Pan Xu was not injured... He suddenly stood up and drew out his knife.

"Pan Xu, you are treacherous..." After dodging Pan Xu's sneak attack, Xue Baigui leaned against the mountain and pointed at him, "It's my fault that I took you in that day..."

"Xue Baigui, didn't you take me in because I can read Sanskrit, can help you decipher ancient family books, and enter the Yaowangbao?! Your Xue family has long since fallen, and the wealth of this Yaowangbao is capable. Whoever gets it." Pan Xu sneered, "You will be your Jianghu man, what's the use of asking for so much treasure? Why don't you just give it to me..."

"Damn!" Xue Baigui sneered, "This Yaowang Castle belongs to my ancestors, and my family has been studying the method of entering the Yaowang Castle for generations."

Everyone looked at each other—so that's the case. It seems that the surname Xue is to deceive people. The real White Ghost Villa was opened by the descendants of Yaowangbao.

"It's a pity." Pan Xu picked up the knife in his hand, "You must die today...uh..."

When Pan Xu froze suddenly, he felt a chill in his chest.

He lowered his head and glanced, his chest was pierced by a knife. Turning around, he saw a master from Xuelong Palace attacking him with a knife while he was off guard.

Pan Xu spat out a mouthful of blood, and the expert from Xuelong Palace behind him kicked him out.

Pan Xu turned his head and pointed at him, "You... treacherous..."

The man sneered, "Is it necessary to trust someone like you?"

As they said that, everyone knelt down, "See Palace Master."

Xue Baigui was stunned, and found that the direction of everyone kneeling was behind him, so he looked back slowly, and saw a person walking up, passing by him, wearing plain white.

"Qin Lisheng?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"So he is the real Palace Master of Xuelong Palace." Bai Yutang was also surprised, but everything seemed to be reasonable.

"Li Sheng, you..." Xue Baigui was very surprised.

"Sorry." Qin Li said softly.

"It turns out that you have been lurking in my villa for so many years because of the treasure..." Xue Baigui seemed to be very heartbroken, "You are my brother in vain!"

"It is true that I have been lurking in your Baigui Villa for many years to enter the Yaowang Castle, but it is not for the treasure, but for the snowy eyes." Qin Lisheng said lightly, "I just want the antidote to cure my natural disability. I know, it’s a branch.”

In fact, it wasn't just Xue Baigui who was surprised, Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others also couldn't figure it out, since Qin Lisheng was the lord of Xuelong Palace, why he had reported to the officials many times to attract them to investigate the case, it was of no benefit to him at all!

"My original intention of establishing Xuelong Palace was actually to find an antidote to cure my illness." Qin Lisheng said, and glanced at the direction Zhan Zhao and others were in.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "He tricked me!"

Bai Yutang also nodded, "He should have known early on that Tianmu is actually a lizard, but Xue Baigui and Pan Xu didn't know much about it."

"It's a pity." Qin Lisheng continued, "The Xuelong Palace has become bigger and bigger, and it has become a tool for the Liao royal family to collect money. I didn't want to reveal the location of the Yaowang Castle. After all, there is too much wealth here. Once it is taken out, the Liao people will get it. With this huge amount of money, there will definitely be another war with Song, and I don't want to turn the world upside down by war, so peaceful coexistence is actually quite good."

"Then you..." Xue Baigui seemed to understand, "Pan Xu took refuge in Xuelong Palace?"

"Pan Xu didn't take refuge in Xuelong Palace, he took refuge in King Liao, so the royal family of Liao Kingdom knew the location of Yaowang Fort, and secretly ordered me to use Pan Xu and you through Xuelong Palace to dig out the treasure and send it back to Liao Kingdom. Xu Chu is thinking about getting money, growing his people, and dreaming of his dream of being emperor for breakfast, and you still think he is just a fool who knows how to forget worries."

Zhan Zhao and the others secretly sweated.

Zhao Pu curled his lips, "It's a pity, if Pan Xu succeeds, I think I will have another battle to fight!"

Gongsun rolled his eyes at him, Zhao Pu grinned, "Just kidding."

"I don't want to lose my life, but I can't disobey the King of Liao. I found out that more and more people came to arrest Tianmu. I was afraid that people would find out that the clue of Yaowangbao would lead to the people in the Central Plains Wulin to seize the treasure, so I reported it to the official. This time This time... It was inevitable, the treasure must be found, so coincidentally, a god-given opportunity came to everyone in Kaifeng Mansion. If the treasure is finally taken away by Zhao Pu, King Liao will definitely not embarrass me! After all, he was defeated by Zhao Pu I've been used to it for a long time... and there won't be any more wars, and it will be easy for everyone to be happy."

Everyone looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu nodded—these words are quite pleasing to the ear.

"It's just that Pan Xu, on the one hand, wanted to keep the secret of Yaowangbao, and on the other hand, he was afraid that people would find out that he was hiding Wangyousan in the valley, so he killed all the innocent people who entered the forest, pretending to be Tianmu killing people. I started I really thought that Bailong came out to hurt people... Who would have guessed it was not." Qin Lisheng said, and ordered a few people from Xuelong Palace to go in and look for Xueyanzhu.

Watching from a distance from the tree, everyone who finally knew the ins and outs looked at each other in blank dismay - oh, so that's what happened.

Qin Lisheng seemed to be waiting, and asked some followers of Xuelong Palace to heal Xue Baigui, "The person who killed that little Taoist priest was not from my Xuelong Palace. In fact, half of Xuelong Palace has been occupied by Pan Xu, and many people are willing to follow him. After all, looking for treasures is more interesting than looking for medicinal materials. After a while, I will die in the trap of everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, then naturally there will be no such person as the owner of Xuelong Palace in the world. If it is possible... After regaining his eyesight, Qin Lisheng There is no need to exist anymore."

While talking, a Xuelong Palace disciple ran out and whispered something in Qin Lisheng's ear.

"Really..." Qin Lisheng seemed a little lonely. After a long time, he stood up and patted the snowflakes on his clothes. "It seems that I will never see what he looks like in this life... It's a pity, it's a pity." After finishing speaking, Said to one of the guards, "Take a corpse back and tell the king of Liao that I am dead. Pan Xu wanted to steal the treasure and attack me by surprise, and we both died... The treasure was taken by Zhao Pu."

Xuelong Palace disciples nodded together.

Everyone understood that King Liao was vicious and suspicious. If he knew that Qin Lisheng was still alive, none of the people left in Xuelong Palace might be spared from death. Don't worry, find someone else to be the master of Xuelong Palace, so you can avoid doubts.In addition, King Liao may not really know that the owner of Xuelong Palace is Qin Lisheng... Xue Baigui also said before that Qin Lisheng doesn't care about the affairs of the villa and spends most of his time away. It is estimated...he is living with two identities That's right, smart people, if you abandon an identity at any time, you can survive!

"Catch him?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

"Why arrest him?" Zhan Zhao curled his lips, "People have worked so hard to find Xueyanzhu to help solve the case and prevent chaos in the world. Isn't it just to take a look at 'him', what crime is there?"

Bai Yutang blinked, "Who are you looking at?"

Zhan Zhao squinted at him, "A mouse that attracts bees and butterflies."

Bai Yutang was said to be very innocent...how did he provoke this cat?

When Qin Lisheng supported Xue Baigui to leave, Zhan Zhao tugged at Bai Yutang's sleeve, "Let these people be punished by Mr. Bao, come on, go in and see why he is so desperate!"

After finishing speaking, he led Bai Yutang into the cave, and the eagle followed quickly, fearing that there might be some tricks.

When they arrived in the cave, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw it. Where is there any resplendent palace or a lot of treasures inside?It's ruins, a large area of ​​scorched earth, everything that can be scorched in this palace is scorched!

"It's no wonder those lizards used this crypt as their nest, because it's warmer." Gongsun found a large pile of blackened flower pots and charred wood, feeling a little distressed, "It's probably those herbs... oh, they're all burnt to ashes." !"

Long Miaomiao stood at the door, and said after a long time, "It's reasonable for my father not to let us come. Heavenly disability is destiny, and it cannot be cured at all."

Everyone looked back at her, and saw the girl pouted, turned her head and left.

"Huh?" Gongsun wanted to stop her.

Zhao Pu waved his hand, "It's useless for you to comfort her, the girl won't be able to get married."

"Tsk." Gongsun kicked him, "Who said to comfort her, I just want to say, in fact, snow eyeballs may not really exist, and even if they exist, they may not be able to cure Tian Can... But I have a way to try try."

Everyone swiped and turned to look at Gongsun—is there really a way?

Gongsun nodded, "However, if I want to ask them to go to Kaifeng Mansion, I still lack some medicinal materials, and it's best to wait until next spring, I need to prepare..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt someone poke him from behind.

Gongsun was startled, turned around, saw a red eye, and was startled.

I saw Long Miaomiao came back at some time, stood behind him and stared at him for a long time, then said coyly, "When spring begins, we will go to Kaifeng Mansion to find you..." After finishing speaking, whoosh With a sound, people flashed.

Zheying and Ziying led a large number of diggers into the crypt, and dug out a lot of things from under the scorched earth. It turned out that a layer of gold bricks was laid under a layer of scorched earth. capital.However, under the gold, what was buried was not jewelry, but several boxes of medical books.

The books are well protected, and the gold bricks don't seem to be used to hide them, but to insulate them.

Zhao Pu thought these big boxes were waste paper, but Gongsun was excitedly chattering.

"Are you going to take this gold back to Kaifeng?" Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Pu.

"It's so heavy, do you want to be exhausted?" Zhao Pu curled his lips and called the Shadow Guard, "Don't be greedy for windfall wealth! Go get some thunderbolts and blow up this ancient castle for me, and all the gold and silver will be buried in the ground. Underneath, and ah, the ice bridge seems to be frozen because of the vines underneath, blow up those vines for me, and the map will be burned, this place... It’s better to never see the light of day.” Said Then, he reached out and touched two gold bricks on his body.

"Hey!" Gongsun grabbed his arm, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Pu smiled, "I think Xue Baigui is also quite tired, and he has been cheated for so long. I am afraid Master Bao will punish him for not reporting the matter of Wangyousan. There are so many people in Baigui Villa, they can't drink the Northwest Wind! After all, this is also the property of his ancestors, so give him a little time for his ancestors, and save the world."

Gongsun was stunned, then smiled, turned and left.

Zhao Pu rubbed his eyes, isn't he dazzled?That nerd smiled at him!

Afterwards, everyone left the mysterious Yaowang Castle, and heard the rumble of the shadow guards blowing up the castle and the bridge, and they were relieved... they probably escaped a catastrophe.

Pan Xu is dead, his body needs to be brought back to Kaifeng Mansion, and the whole case has to be reported to the emperor.

After the case of Tianmu in Baozhou Prefecture was settled, everyone continued to go north for disaster relief, and the journey went smoothly.

Another month later, the snow gradually stopped, and the Chinese New Year was approaching. Everyone was thinking about whether to go back to celebrate the New Year or simply spend it outside... On this day, Bai Yutang received a letter from Xingkong Island.

Bai Yutang opened the letter and read it, then sat in the carriage in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao leaned over.

Bai Yutang handed the letter to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao glanced at it, and opened his mouth wide, "Songjiang Mansion is haunted by goblins?!"

"What goblin?" Xiao Si asked with sharp ears, leaning over and leaning on Xiao Wu's back.

Tianzun also took the letter, "Yo, it's from Jiang Lao Si... Songjiang Mansion is a vixen? How many men have died?"

"Fox?" Zhao Pu and the others were curious, and Gongsun came forward with a medicine jar and asked, "Is the vixen a real vixen or a bad woman?"

"It's said that the dead are skinned and cramped, and their blood is drained. Ordinary women wouldn't be so bad." Zhao Pu shook his head after reading the letter.

"Um……"

After being silent for a while, Zhan Zhao suddenly put Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "I heard that Xingkong Island is like spring all the year round, and there are often seafood..."

Bai Yutang looked up at him, "How are Spring Seasons and Seafood related?"

Tianzun patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder, "Little kitten, the New Year's Eve dinner on the empty island is delicious!"

Zhan Zhao pursed his lips, and the cat smile appeared again.

Bai Yutang had a bad feeling, and sure enough, he heard the fourth son yell, "Let's go to Bai Bai's house to celebrate the New Year!"

Everyone looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng stroked his beard, "What kind of fox monster! It's so strange!"

Everyone was discouraged and couldn't go.

Taishi Pang stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

"However, if someone dares to pretend to be a fox demon and harm the heavens and justice, this government cannot just sit idly by!" Bao Zheng waved his black hand, with a dignified tone, "Since the relief supplies have been distributed, the troops will be divided into two groups. Those who deliver the goods will go back to Kaifeng Mansion, and the others, Diverted to Songjiang Mansion..."

Grand Master Pang cupped his hands to the stunned Bai Yutang, "We 500 people will go to the empty island to celebrate the New Year, so please, please...hahaha."

The crowd cheered.

Bai Yutang helped his forehead... The New Year's Eve dinner on Zhakong Island originally required two to three hundred tables, but this time it was good, a large group of people and five hundred government soldiers were brought back, and the New Year's Eve dinner had to be placed in the sea.

……

The author has something to say: the Tianmu case is over, and the next case is [Fox Bewitching Case].

Volume [-]: Fox Bewitching Case
