The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 88
There were officials wearing uniforms among them, who blocked the road, and people who wanted to do good things gathered around to watch the excitement. Xi Lan stood up and looked out, but she didn't see Li Huai.

She was surprised and asked: "You said there are demons, why didn't I see the demonic aura?"

She came over from there just now, even if she brought a yarn bucket, she still couldn't feel it!

Zi Xuyuan put down the paper window and replied: "So I said it's a big thing!"

"Then how did you find out?"

He smiled, and took the dragon and tiger jade from his body, "This ancestral gem in your family is much more useful than my master's Jiugong Bagua mirror. That day, I came out of the palace and stayed in the inn on Lihua Street. In the middle of the night, a pale green light suddenly appeared in the dark room. It turned out to be this piece of dragon and tiger jade. I knew it was an ancient artifact, and it would never light up for no reason. There is no doubt about it, I searched for this strange fragrance to the outside of the flower street, and then disappeared, there is something strange about this monster—”

Something is wrong?Xi Lan squinted at him: "They're all demons, it's only strange if there's nothing strange about it!"

He emphasized: "I mean, this monster has come to this flower street, and it's strange to hide the smell. Tell me, how did the monster escape the poor way?"

Xi Lan didn't answer, just asked: "You just said that there was another murder case, and there was a murder case before?"

"Well, a flower guest was found dead in the alley behind the Xiangyuan Building. He was completely naked, with black eyes and no pupils. He had been sucked out of energy, just two days ago!"

She listened, resting her chin with one hand, and drawing on the table with the other, she suddenly realized, "If there is another murder, will this monster ignore you at all?"

Zi Xuyuan replied with a disdainful smile: "I use your name here. If you want to say, your name has no deterrent effect in the demon world. If this demon knows that I am Nanxian Zixuyuan, he will probably go back to the old forest a long time ago. gone!"

"Hehe, then what do you think is the demon that absorbs human spirit?"

"Flowers, foxes, snakes, charms...all take the form of beautiful women to confuse lustful men, and take the opportunity to take their souls. Maybe they are one of these!"

She wondered: "You said you have a strange fragrance on your body, could it be a flower demon?"

Creatures like demons form when they gather, and when they disperse, they become zero. The flower demon who has obtained the spiritual energy and cultivated to form, exudes its own floral fragrance, and because of the spiritual energy, the fragrance will change.

"Well, I guess this flower demon is a certain flower sister on this flower street, wandering here, looking for someone to attack, and five days later, it will be the vernal equinox, and this is also the season when the flower demons appear the most."

Xi Lan asked: "Since you have been here for several days, you naturally have some clues, right?"

With Zi Xuyuan's cultivation base, it shouldn't be a problem to find a flower demon with a demonic aura, right?
"It's strange to say that, I discovered that evil spirit that night, and after that, even this piece of dragon and tiger jade has never been exposed. It seems that this flower demon knows that I am looking for her, so it deliberately hides from me!"

"It's really nonsense, you stay overnight on this flower street so ostentatiously, how could a demon not hide from you?"

He explained with great pains: "I'm not showing mercy, I'm worried that this monster will do more evil, so I want to use your name to frighten her, but I didn't expect to come out to make trouble again after only two days of life."

"Presumably this demon is rushing to cross the catastrophe, and he will not hesitate to take the risk." Xi Lan finished her guess, and then asked: "You have read the palms of so many sisters in this flower street, have you found any suspicious people?"

After finishing the words, she heard someone coming from outside the door, and hurriedly sat back to her original position.

Not long after, Li Huai opened the door and came in. He had seen the face of the dead man, so naturally he was not much better. Seeing that Xi Lan took off the veil from her head, she frowned.

Xi Lan hurriedly explained: "My lord, I was just talking to Mr. Long about the troubles in Huajie!"

When Li Huai went out just now, he met Song Ziyao from Dali Temple. The other party had the two cases in Huajie in his hand, so he asked him for help.Just now, another man's body was found in the ancient well of Yinghong Courtyard. It was the same as the male body found two days ago, completely naked, with black eyes without pupils.

It is estimated that this news will spread soon, and the business on Huajie will plummet every day. Although it is a place of fireworks, it cannot be denied that this is the most heavily taxed area in Jinling. Why is it so prosperous? It is the government's fault Half of the land boundary was earned for the officials, and the higher-ups demanded to solve the case as soon as possible. Li Huai and Song Ziyao had a close personal relationship, so naturally they also had a headache.

This time when I came back, I heard Xi Lan and Zi Xuyuan talking about the troubles in Huajie, so I became interested.

"Presumably, Taoist Priest Zi appeared in this flower building because of this, right?"

Speaking of being smart, Xi Lan was more frank, and Li Huai was a little more restrained and concealed his sharpness, which is also his greatest advantage.

Zi Xuyuan was not modest either, just said: "This case can't be solved by those idiots in Dali Temple in the capital alone!"

Li Huai took the opportunity and said, "So I'm here to ask Taoist Priest Zi to help me!"

He raised his eyebrows, and wanted to say a few words to make things difficult for Li Huai. Xi Lan, who was sitting across from him, said, "Zi Daochang is a person born in the world, and I can't bear to see innocent people die, so I will definitely help you." of!"

The conversation was taken away by her all of a sudden, Zi Xuyuan was annoyed, and could only hold his breath and said: "Dali Temple can ask me for help, but Princess Lao will do it herself, and I will be a helper for a while, right?"

This is exactly what Li Huai cares about the most. Last time he asked the concubine to help in the palace, it was really a last resort. Now, because of the murder case in the city and flower street, he needs the concubine to help. Telling it out, wouldn't it be a joke.

Seeing Li Huai's face froze together, Zi Xuyuan succeeded in his heart, not just to make the prince retreat.

But how could the prince not know his wishful thinking? After a while, he smiled lightly and said: "It is not impossible for Taoist priest Zi to ask the princess for help. The princess is also quite interested in this. At that time, the king will bring the princess here in person. The priest thinks how?"

In this way, both the prince and the princess are helping you, why are you dissatisfied?

Zi Xuyuan felt bored, so he stood up and stretched his waist, "Looking at how loving the prince and concubine are, it's really annoying, but don't disturb the business at that time!"

Li Huai still allowed himself to speak bluntly, and replied: "Of course not."

Since it was so agreed, Li Huai mentioned that Zi Xuyuan agreed to invite him to the palace as a guest!

He wasn't really unwilling to go at first, if Long Xilan hadn't been brought back, he would have left the capital a long time ago, and now he stayed here not because of Xilan!
"The king just checked and found the corpse at the head of the ancient well in Yinghongyuan. It has been soaked and swollen. It has been thrown away for several days. The state of death of the corpse is unknown and there are no pupils. The male corpses died in the same manner."

The male corpse in Xiangyuanlou was discovered in the early morning. It is well known in Huajie that there are not many people wandering outside. It was close to evening, so the government deliberately suppressed the first case, and only a few people knew about it. But this time, the body was discovered in the evening, and it was the busiest time. In a panic, they specially sent guards over.

Xi Lan asked, "Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

Li Huai replied: "Both of them are regular customers of Flower Street. They go to almost all the big brothels on weekdays. There are also frequent customers on Flower Street."

"So if this flower demon turns into a girl in a brothel, every brothel on this flower street may be the murderer's hiding place!" The words Zi Xuyuan said are equivalent to nonsense, but they are crucial. important.

"Flower demon?" Hearing this, the prince had only one feeling, "I seem to have missed something?"

Xi Lan hurriedly explained: "My lord, Taoist Zi suspects that the murderer on this flower street was a flower demon in human form?"

Li Huai naturally has a lot of ignorance about this kind of field. When faced with areas that he doesn't know much about, he doesn't know much. He just asks: "Zi Daochang can confirm that it is a flower demon? Then how should this flower demon be killed?" Find it?"

The other party replied: "This needs to be checked by the prince. In the past three months, there are new women who have entered the Flower Street."

Dawen Kingdom has an orderly jurisdiction over the brothels. Except for private prostitutes, every woman who enters the brothel must be registered, commonly known as a flower book.

Li Huai was puzzled, "Why is it Miss Hua who has just been registered as a flower in the past three months?"

Zi Xuyuan knew that he didn't understand, so he patiently said: "This flower demon turns into a human form to seduce men and take their spirit, why choose Huajie? The reason why the charm can be successful must be that the victim has this lust to be charmed, but any The benefactors who come to this flower street to squander are not lustful and prosperous, so for the flower demon, this place is like Master Pindao's vegetable garden. , this murder happened only recently, and secondly, it is impossible for this monster to hide in this flower street all the time to do flesh and blood business, right?"

After being explained in this way, Li Huai immediately understood!

"The king immediately sent someone to get the roster of the new arrivals from Huajie in the past three months, and Daoist Lao Zi will go and confirm them one by one!"

Li Huai immediately went out and told Yan Ting to ask for the roster, and because Song Ziyao was still waiting outside, he didn't come back right away.

Xi Lan took the opportunity to ask Zi Xuyuan: "Are you really willing to live in the palace and help the prince with business?"

Zi Xuyuan's expression suddenly became lonely, and it was the first time he saw something on his mind.

Xi Lan knew a long time ago that he blamed her for staying, but he refused to really leave her and leave the capital, so he willfully wanted to stay together. With him, Xi Lan's identity can be well hidden, and she can do things well. It is also convenient to come, at this moment, she said from the bottom of her heart: "Xu Yuan, thank you."

The guy's face turned hard, and he immediately turned his face and shouted: "Thank you less, brat, if I hadn't agreed to your father, I would have cared about your life and death?"

"Then how long do you plan to stay in this capital?"

Now that she has entered the palace, her father may have arrived long ago. It is not known when she will find a chance to go back and plead guilty to the old man, but it is impossible for Zi Xuyuan to stay in the capital because of this?

Zi Xuyuan said indignantly: "Stay until you are willing to leave this place of right and wrong with me!"

"What if I never plan to leave for the rest of my life?"

"Xi Lan, the rules of your Long family don't count as your own life, so you don't know what will happen to you in the future, but I know..."

Many people ridiculed them, Taoist people, who have seen through the lives of others, but can't count their own.

As Father Long often said, those who spy on the secrets of heaven are so unfortunate, so they will inevitably live a lonely life.

Xi Lan's eyes dimmed, "No matter how the future will change, the most important thing is to live well in the present, right?"

"Xi Lan, you..."

"I don't want to know." Even if he saw his future, so what?She didn't want to live in fear of the future.

Knowing what she meant, Zi Xuyuan closed his mouth, but before Li Huai came back, he still said something.

"He will definitely blame you!"

Xi Lan's heart was gripped tightly like sharp claws full of barbs, but when the claws loosened, the barbs remained!

He will definitely blame you...

If Li Huai did this, would he still blame her?
Why?Ning Wanzhu?
She took a deep breath and emphasized: "My father always makes mistakes in calculations, and so do you!"

"Really, then your father and I, did the calculation wrong?"

Zi Xuyuan really doesn't want to make things difficult for her, and vows not to give up!
