Kill the Demon King from the Demon Slayer Dungeon

Chapter 8 Wei Chun, the power of ghosts and gods, the power of awakening the dragon
Royal Palace.

Royal study.

A middle-aged scribe in a boa robe and a belt tied around his waist stood quietly in front of the door.

He is pale and beardless, with a refined appearance.

It was Wei Chun, a well-known eunuch who was in charge of the Demon Slaying Division and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After a while, the old eunuch walked out of the imperial study.

"Duke Wei, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Wei Chun nodded, then straightened his clothes and walked in.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Wei Chun cupped his fists and bowed in salute.

"no."

Zhu Xuan said, "Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wei Chun said.

Then he sat down on the chair that had already been prepared.

"How's it going?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Wei Chun glanced around.

Zhu Xuandao: "You all step back."

The young eunuch holding the lamp and the old eunuch summoned retreated one after another, and closed the door gently.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps faded away that Wei Chun said solemnly, "Return to Your Majesty. The minister has set up a net in the capital. If there is no special ability, the witch should still be in the capital and it is impossible to leave."

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly.

Wei Chun continued: "In addition, there are 72 Imperial Guards guarding the prison. The ministers interrogated them one by one, and the lie detector was used, but none of them knew how the demon girl left the prison.

There are generally only two explanations for this situation.

One is that these people really don’t know;
The second is that these people's willpower is very strong, so strong that they can resist a lie detector.

But that's extremely unlikely.

The lie detector has been turned on to the strongest, even Weichen's spirit can't bear it. "

Zhu Xuan looked calm.

After a pause, Wei Chun glanced at Zhu Xuan, and then continued: "So, I think there is a third possibility, that is, someone tampered with the memories of these people."

Tamper memory!

Zhu Xuan's face was finally no longer calm.

With a serious face, he stared at Wei Chun and said, "With your strength, can you tamper with other people's memories?"

Wei Chun looked calm, shook his head and said: "Although I am the Emperor Wu, I can't tamper with other people's memories."

If this word is heard by others, they must be shocked.

The usually gentle and elegant eunuch Wei Chun turned out to be a powerful Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu, in the entire Ming Dynasty, belonged to only a handful of people at the top.

Of all the sects in the world, it is said that the one with the highest cultivation is only at the king-conferring state, and the Martial Emperor is above the king-conferring state.

Zhu Xuan snorted coldly, "With your Martial Emperor's strength, you can't tamper with other people's memories. Who do you think can easily tamper with other people's memories, and modify the memories of so many people?"

Faced with the emperor's questioning, Wei Chun's face remained unchanged, he cupped his fists and said slowly: "I know this sounds absurd, but if there is a big monk who cultivates the power of ghosts and gods to take action, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

Moreover, tampering with memory does not need to tamper with the memories of so many people at all, maybe it only needs to tamper with the memories of one or two people. "

Zhu Xuan's expression changed, "Let's listen."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chun continued: "According to the confession obtained by the minister, they were all briefly summoned by the commander of the Imperial Guard at around three o'clock in the ugly hour, and..."

"And what?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

"And they all mentioned that His Majesty came to inspect it." Wei Chun stared into the emperor's eyes and said calmly.

Zhu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wei Chun, "You doubt me?"

Wei Chun shook his head and said: "Your Majesty calm down, I'm just discussing the matter as it stands, and I don't want to doubt His Majesty's intentions. It's normal for His Majesty to inspect the prison."

Zhu Xuan snorted softly, did not refute or express any opinion, and said flatly: "Continue."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chun clasped his fists and said, "From the brief fact of being summoned by the commander of the Imperial Guard, Yu Sicheng, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is seriously suspected.

Although there is no definite evidence that he entered the prison, this does not remove his suspicion.

Your Majesty, you know that if you want to enter the prison from the outside to save someone, you have to go through at least three doors.

The key to the first door is in the hands of the imperial guards, the key to the second door is in the Ministry of Punishment, and the key to the third door is in the hands of the guards on duty.

But from the beginning to the end, no one from the Ministry of Punishment showed up, and they never entered the prison for several days before and after, and the key was not lost, and was still kept in the Ministry of Punishment. "

"Then how does the second door open?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Wei Chundao: "The three doors are all made of black iron locks. The black iron locks are extremely hard and covered with runes. If you want to break them with brute force, at least the Martial Emperor's strength is required.

But once it is forcibly destroyed, not only will it have to face countless arrows and arrows, but the entire prison will call the police.

But no police were called that night.

And the black iron lock is produced by Tianji Pavilion, even the top lockpickers cannot unlock it. Without the hidden runes on the key, the black iron lock cannot be unlocked at all.

Therefore, it must be the matching key that opens the black iron lock, which is basically indisputable. "

Wei Chun went on to say: "I have found out that four days ago, the fourth prince appeared in the Ministry of Punishment and then left. During this period, he appeared in Zhende Garden. Later, someone saw Yu Sicheng leaving from Zhende Garden. .”

In fact, Wei Chun didn't need to explain so much to Zhu Xuan if the matter hadn't involved the fourth prince.

"Little Four?"

Zhu Xuan frowned slightly.

He didn't doubt Wei Chun's words, and he had always given great trust to him.

It can be said that Wei Chun is one of the few people he can trust.

Wei Chun's meaning is obvious, that is, the Fourth Prince entered the Ministry of Punishment, took away the key, and handed it to Yu Sicheng, who opened the prison.

"Then what about Jiang Nan, how did Jiang Nan get into the prison?"

Zhu Xuan asked the key to the matter.

One is to the east of the palace and the other is to the west of the imperial city.

The two are far apart.

Then, how did Yu Sicheng avoid the patrols and the guards at the gate of the imperial city, and sneak into the Prince Yong's Mansion with many masters without anyone noticing, and kidnap Jiang Nan quietly?

And bring such a living person back safely and bring him to the palace prison?
Unexpectedly, until the person was found in the prison of the palace, the people in Prince Yong's Mansion didn't notice it.

And the meaning of doing this is to set the blame, or to save the demon saint?

What is its purpose?
"The matter is being investigated."

Wei Chun clasped his fists and said.

"Yeah." Zhu Xuan nodded, and then asked blankly: "You continue to talk about tampering with memory, what's going on?"

Wei Chundao: "When Chou Chu (one o'clock in the night) changes defenses, there will be a short interval at this time. This interval is that as the commander of the Imperial Guard, he will do some inspections. Yu Sicheng can take advantage of this time to replace people. .

Although this time is extremely short, it is unlikely.

But in the case of a master, as long as the speed is fast enough, all this becomes possible.

Assuming that there is a powerful monk who cultivates the power of ghosts and gods to modify the memory, then he only needs to modify the memories of two people, one is the fourth prince and the other is Yu Sicheng.

As long as the memories of the two of them are modified, then all this can be impossible to investigate and become an unsolved case.

Apart from this explanation, Wei Chen can't think of any other explanation for the time being. "

The power of ghosts and gods... has not appeared for decades, is it appearing again now?
It is rumored that they who had powerful ghosts and gods called themselves servants of gods.

Thinking of the God Servant who might revive from the ashes, Zhu Xuan looked coldly, thought for a moment, and said, "You mean that Xiaosi might have tampered with his memory?"

"The minister is only doubting now, and cannot draw conclusions arbitrarily."

Wei Chun clasped his fists and said.

Zhu Xuan's eyes were gloomy.

If it was Xiaosi who blamed the Jiang family for this matter, it would not actually make much sense. After all, Prince Yong's family has always been neutral and never stood in line. Blaming them would not actually benefit the prince.

Instead of this, it is better to set up some troublesome benefits for your political opponents.

On this point, the emperor who was also the prince back then was naturally clear.

In fact, the loss of a hostage is a small matter, but a series of problems within the Ming Dynasty because of this incident is a major matter.

Even if it is his own son, if he cooperates with the enemy, it will still be a death penalty.

"This matter must be investigated as soon as possible. No matter who is involved, we must not tolerate it!"

Zhu Xuan's tone was slightly cold.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Chun said.

"What's going on at the Imperial Tomb?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

"In another three months, the star platform will be successfully built." Wei Chun said.

Zhu Xuan nodded, "Recently there are many masters in the imperial city, and people's hearts are fluctuating, you need to strengthen inspections in this area.

In addition, I heard that some ministers have been in contact with people from some sects recently, you should pay more attention to this.Things are busy, and the supervision of hundreds of officials cannot be relaxed. "

"This is a matter within the responsibility of my minister, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Wei Chun cupped his fists and said seriously.

"En." Zhu Xuan nodded, and then said casually: "By the way, in another month, the woman from the All Wonders Sect will come again, you can block it for me, I don't want to see her. "

All the wonderful doors, all the wonderful doors... Wei Chun frowned, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after such a long time, you still haven't dealt with that woman?"

Zhu Xuan's face turned cold, "Don't ask if you shouldn't!"

Being reprimanded by the emperor, Wei Chun didn't feel the panic as imagined, but chuckled lightly instead.

Couldn't figure it out, could it be that the capital is not enough... Ordinarily it shouldn't be, the "Emperor Dragon Mysterious Art" cultivated by the emperor should be extremely capable in this regard.

Or was it frightened?

Not afraid of "I want", but afraid of "I want to..." And it is still the kind of echo: "...to, to, to..."

Hehe, the door of all wonders... is beyond words.

It is said that if you break through the Martial Emperor Realm, you can be reborn from a severed body... Wei Chun felt a little hopeful, and the corner of his mouth widened a little.

Hearing Wei Chun chuckle, Zhu Xuan stared, "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

Wei Chun immediately suppressed his smile, and said, "I'm not making fun of Your Majesty, but making fun of those women from all the wonderful schools who don't know good from bad."

Then he sneered and said: "It's been so many years, this woman is still so obsessed and stalking, if it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, how could she be so absurd and rude, and offend the face of heaven."

Zhu Xuan glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph, I hope what you said is the same as what you think."

Although they are monarchs and ministers, sometimes they are not just as simple as the relationship between monarchs and ministers.

"Okay, back off."

Zhu Xuan waved his hand and drove him away directly.

"Yes, Wei Chen retire."

Wei Chun stood up, tidied his clothes, then saluted with fists cupped and retreated.

……

the next day.

Early in the morning, Jiang Nan woke up.

After a brief wash, he began to practice.

He is good at knife skills.

Starting from the basic sword technique, and then "Wuying Sword Technique", but at present he can only practice one-sword chop, and there is still a long way to go before ten-sword chop.

After practicing for an hour, he took a shower and went to have breakfast.

Afterwards, he read in the study for a while, and then took the carriage to go to work for Demon Slayer.

Kill the monster.

"What, you want to kill more demons?"

Shi Wenhao asked in surprise after finishing clicking.

It was too late for the other torturers to hide, but he was lucky enough to ask for an extra meal.

"Why?"

Shi Wenhao looked at Jiang Nan with burning eyes.

Jiang Nan's eyes were calm, but his expression was solemn, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's mercy, I am spared the death penalty. I should repay Your Majesty with a better performance. I hope Your Majesty can see that the son of the Jiang family has never been a coward!"

Looking at the handsome and sunny boy in front of him, who spoke in a gentle and elegant manner, but without losing blood in his tone, Shi Wenhao was immediately in awe.

"I agree in principle to ask you to kill more monsters. I know you have a special body. You didn't go to kill the demons yesterday. But I can't let you kill monsters at will. As the head of the Huang Department, I must ensure your safety."

Shi Wenhao said.

The other torturers were a little sad when they heard this.

This is the difference between people.

They are also torturers, but the treatment is very different.

Of course, they also knew that they couldn't compare with Jiang Nan.

The young man in front of Yushu Linfeng, handsome enough to make people jealous, looks like a torturer like them, but no matter what he says, he is the only son of Prince Yong and the grandson of General Zhenbei.

Even being demoted to a commoner by the emperor is not something they can compare to.

The status gap is too great.

"Thank you, Mr. Shi, I know what's in my heart, please give Jiang a chance."

Jiang Nan clasped her fists and said.

Shi Wenhao stared at Jiang Nan.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

It wasn't until then that he noticed that Jiang Nan's breath was a little different.

"You broke through?"

"Well, luckily there was a breakthrough."

Jiang Nan nodded.

"Okay!" Shi Wenhao nodded, "Since you have broken through to the Tongmai Realm, your own strength is much stronger than that of the Body Forging Realm, so you can also add some monsters."

"How about this, you go to No.11 and No.12 today, there are ten monsters in total, your basic task is five, and you can kill the excess as you see fit."

Since Jiang Nan applied, he naturally wouldn't give Jiang Nan this face.

The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Although Jiang Nan is a commoner now, he is still the only son of Prince Yong and the grandson of General Zhenbei.

It would be a big mistake to treat him as an ordinary person.

"Thank you, Master Shi."

Jiang Nan said gratefully.

Then he walked into the locker room, changed his clothes, and quickly walked towards the dungeon.

That speed is definitely a super-performing workaholic.

Shi Wenhao looked at Jiang Nan's back and sighed: "It really is a general without a dog!"

Looking at the other torturers who were slowing down, they frowned.

Comparing these people's work enthusiasm with Jiang Nan's, it's just like every day.

They are all human, so why is there such a big gap?

He is the eldest son of Prince Yong, but he still works so hard.

Looking at these people's laziness one by one, they wished they could just lie down.

Hmph~ Mud can't support the wall!

Shi Wenhao snorted coldly in his heart, and then shouted: "Don't dawdle, all of you, hurry up."

The torturer who had already left the locker room saw that the supervisor was angry, and quickly responded, "Yes!"

Then quickly filed into the dungeon.

T-shaped NO.11 in the dungeon.

With the experience of slaughtering on the first day, Jiang Nan dismantled one monster after another with familiarity.

After killing the three monsters, the light red leaves in the three-color tree space grew to nine pieces.

Then, a small fruit is formed on the branch, only the size of a small fingernail.

The result!
Jiang Nan was overjoyed.

Continue to kill demons...

When the seventh head was killed, a bright red fruit was finally produced on the branch, the size of a hawthorn.

But the skin is smooth and bright, like a big cherry.

Jiang Nan reached out to touch it, but it fell off immediately.

In reality, a round light red fruit appeared in front of Jiang Nan's eyes.

This fruit can actually appear in reality!

Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat.

Then he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

The fruit melted in the mouth, and a huge amount of energy poured into the body.

Jiang Nan is blessed to the soul, running "Ancestral Dragon Opens Heaven".

boom--

A hole in the body appeared, and a particle inside it woke up and turned into a flood dragon.

The dragon roared up to the sky, and a huge force quickly burst out from Jiang Nan's body.

Jiang Nan clenched his fists, his heart was shocked, and his eyes were bright.

"Ten thousand catties of great strength!"
