Chapter 105

Wen Bin walked past the Luoyang market as if he was flying. Yuan Kun staggered, clearly injured. He stumbled forward, and Wen Bin hurriedly reached out to support him.

"In seven days, your life will be in danger." Yuan Kun's eyes were covered with a black cloth. He said in a low voice, "Only the Virtuous Treasure Hall can save your life. Come to Yaoguang to find me …"

Wen Bin and Yuan Kun separated. The light instantly disappeared, and Li Jinglong and Hongjun emerged from Wen Bin's memory.

"Where did you learn this?" Hongjun asked in surprise.

Li Jinglong replied, "The Battle Corpse Ghost King taught me. It's only useful for mortals. Those who have a little bit of magic power or are slightly stronger won't be able to do it."

"Yaoguang." Li Jinglong stood up and paced around the hall. He muttered, "Where is Yaoguang?"

"Wait …" Hongjun said, "How did you think of this?"

Li Jinglong said seriously to Hongjun, "Kun Shen can foresee the future. As early as nine days ago, he saw us arrive in Luoyang, so he used this person to ask us for help."

"I understand." Hongjun said, "How did you think of this?"

Li Jinglong thought for a moment, then said, "From Brother Taibai's poem."

Hongjun: "???"

Li Jinglong vaguely felt that Kun Shen's ability to foresee the future was extremely powerful. If there was a grand scheme between the human race, the demon race, and Tianma, then Kun Shen most likely had the ability to break it. Or it could be said that he was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Therefore, this was also the reason why he would rather abandon An Lushan, who was still in Chang 'an, and come to Luoyang with Hongjun. He had a lot of questions to ask Kun Shen. At first, he only asked about the past, including Tianma's origin and origin. After all, if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be defeated. If you want to defeat your enemy, you must first understand him.

Perhaps from now on, Li Jinglong wanted to ask about the future...

The Exorcism Spell was a line from Li Bai's poem. No matter when it was created, Li Jinglong had never heard of it when he met Li Bai six or seven years ago. Qing Xiong, on the other hand, seemed to have learned this spell a long time ago.

How did Qing Xiong know Li Bai's poem?

There was only one explanation: Kun Shen learned the Demon Sealing Spell from the future. Who created this spell? It was impossible that Li Bai had sealed the demon in a drunken stupor. There must have been someone who had successfully cast this spell.

"I'll explain it to you as we walk." Li Jinglong said, "Let's go out."

Hongjun asked Wen Bin to stay behind to watch over the Exorcism Division. Unexpectedly, Li Bai had drunk half a jar of Soul Returning Wine in the morning and said, "Where are you going? Take me with you?"

Li Bai had shaved his beard, leaving a shallow scar on the side of his beard. He also combed his hair seriously and wore a dark blue warrior's uniform with wide sleeves. He had changed to a modao at his waist, looking handsome and elegant. It was impossible to tell that he was an uncle in his forties.

Li Jinglong brought him along and explained the cause and effect. Li Bai was not surprised after hearing it and said, "If there are demons, let me kill a few?"

This was Li Bai. Of course, Hongjun said, "Okay, okay, okay. You're right. I'll protect you." Li Jinglong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'll get a catty of wine first." Li Bai said again.

The two could only wait for Li Bai to get the wine.

"Yaoguang is outside the city." Li Jinglong said to Hongjun, "In a while, you protect Brother Taibai."

"What other spells do you know?" Hongjun looked at Li Jinglong suspiciously. He always felt that Li Jinglong had secretly learned some spells when he didn't know. Li Jinglong spread out his hands and replied, "I really don't have any more."

Thinking about it, Li Jinglong snapped his fingers again and spread out his hands. In the quiver on his back, the arrows scattered and flew out.

"You even learned the Nailhead Seven Arrow Technique!" Hongjun said in shock.

Li Jinglong replied, "I can only release them, not collect them."

The arrows released were beautiful, but they could only be picked up one by one. The three of them picked up arrows for a while. Hongjun asked again, "Are there any more?"

"I really don't have any more." Li Jinglong seemed to be a little proud. Hongjun guessed that he might have to show off his skills in front of him in a while, so he didn't ask anymore. The three of them walked out of the city. Thinking of Kun Shen's power, Hongjun knew that Li Jinglong already had a purpose. He said, "Maybe he can tell us about the future."

Li Jinglong replied, "Do you want to know?"

Hongjun hesitated for a moment. Li Bai didn't say a word along the way. Suddenly, he interrupted, "If it were me, I'd rather not know."

Hongjun grunted and said, "You're right."

Li Jinglong thought to himself, 'Do you even have a brain?' He didn't dare to say Hongjun. He only said to Li Bai, "But even if the world knows the result, they often can't guess the process."

"That's true." Li Bai sneered, "If we talk about the result, we can't escape the word 'death'."

When the three of them reached the outside of the city, Li Jinglong said to Hongjun, "Look at Luoyang's Seven Stars Pavilion. From here to here, isn't it Yaoguang?"

Hongjun looked up. Sure enough, from Tianshu to Tong Tian Pagoda and then to the north of the city, Luoyang, the Seven Stars Pavilion was like the Big Dipper constellation. The northernmost Yaoguang corresponded to Longmen Mountain. Below Longmen was Longmen Grotto.

"It's not here …" Li Jinglong went to a high place and looked around. Luo River flowed not far away.

Li Bai said, "This scene can't help but make me want to write a poem …"

Hongjun looked at Li Bai expectantly. Li Jinglong said, "Brother Taibai, I'm busy right now. I won't write a poem for now."

Li Bai: "Okay."

Hongjun: "… … … …."

"Do you know what you've done!" Hongjun shouted at Li Jinglong. "The poem that will go down in history is just one less!"

Li Jinglong only found it funny and said, "But compared to the safety of Luoyang and the world, I always feel that poetry is not that important. Big brother is free to write a poem to compensate you? "

Hongjun thought to himself, 'Do you know how to?' However, his heart skipped a beat. He always felt that Li Jinglong knew how to do everything. If his poem was better than Li Bai's later, then … … No, no, no, that was impossible!

"Why don't you write a poem for me to see?" Hongjun said.

"We'll talk about it later." Li Jinglong said seriously, "Investigate the case first."

Li Jinglong finally succeeded in diverting Hongjun's attention from Li Bai. Unfortunately, he had drawn a promise that could not be fulfilled. In today's world, who dared to compete with Li Bai in poetry? However, Hongjun looked at him expectantly, which immediately made him tremble.

"Are you looking for that place?" Li Bai gestured to the two of them to look at a peony garden about fifty steps away. Previously, he had a rough idea of what had happened and said, "Since there are flower demons, then perhaps the peony garden is their hiding place?"

Hongjun said, "You're too smart!"

Li Jinglong: "… …."

Not only did Li Jinglong not succeed in composing a poem, but his limelight as the number one detective of the Exorcist Division was almost stolen by Li Bai. He could only collect his thoughts and go outside the peony garden to look into the distance.

A strong fragrance wafted over. It was the season when flowers bloomed in Luoyang, but for some reason, there were no tourists here.

"This place is not open! Go to the east! There's a garden there for you to admire the flowers! "A few soldiers with spears said to them.

Hongjun glanced at Li Jinglong. They both understood that those soldiers were most likely demons.

Li Bai said, "This place is heavily guarded. It seems like they have a guilty conscience. Perhaps there's a problem."

"Smart!" Hongjun praised.

Li Jinglong was speechless. If he had known earlier, he would have left Li Bai in the Luoyang Bureau of Exorcism. and let him drink by himself. The three of them moved away a little and spied from afar. They saw the soldiers whispering to each other. One of them mounted a horse and galloped towards the south, presumably to inform the others.

"Barging in?" Li Bai pulled out his Mo Sword and said lazily.

Li Jinglong immediately stopped Li Bai and said to Hongjun, "You always couldn't figure out how I could predict the enemy's movements. Now, I'll teach you in detail."

Hongjun glanced at Li Bai, then looked at Li Jinglong and nodded.

"First of all, how did Wan Jue know that we would arrive in Luoyang?" Li Jinglong asked.

Hongjun thought for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Kun Shen!"

Li Jinglong nodded and said, "That's right."

"He clearly only knew that last night's exchange was destined to happen, but he didn't know the exact time and method of your arrival in Luoyang." Li Bai casually leaned on his Mo Sword and looked into the distance.

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "That's why he controlled Kun Shen and gained some insight into the future. Second question, after last night, if you were Wan Jue, what would you do? "

"Send demons to monitor us." Hongjun said with a frown.

"That's for sure." Li Jinglong said again, "Third question, once we found this place, what was the best way to deal with it? Beat them away? That's impossible. That would only make things worse. "

Hongjun couldn't think of anything. If Wan Jue knew that they were coming today, how would they divert their attention? If this was the Flower Demons' stronghold, he couldn't just move the entire peony garden away.

"It's very simple." Li Bai said casually, "Lie to you and make you think that there's nothing strange about this place. Or the real place is somewhere else and deliberately make you think that you've found a clue and set a trap. "

"The latter possibility has been eliminated." Li Jinglong looked at the garden and said slowly, "Our source of information can ensure that no one knows about it. We've already confirmed that this place is the important place."

"But why are these guards … … Whether they're demons or soldiers," Hongjun said strangely, "They seem to be completely unprepared. Did they not know that we would come?"

Li Jinglong said in a deep voice, "The only possibility is that Wan Jue used to monitor us. There's a problem with one of the links in the middle."

Hongjun realized and said, "Wan Jue sent demons to monitor our movements … …"

"Maybe there's a problem with this link." Li Jinglong replied, "Based on this speculation, there's at least one of our people in the enemy's camp."

"Then what do we do now?" Hongjun said.

Li Jinglong said, "Let's go in and destroy this peony garden and see what we can find."

Hongjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "After talking for so long, aren't we still going to do it?!"

Li Jinglong said in confusion, "You said that I didn't explain clearly when we rushed in. Now I've explained the case from the beginning to the end. Is that wrong?"

Hongjun had to give up. Li Jinglong turned his head and said, "Brother Taibai, I'll leave the guards outside to you. We have at least two hours. "

"There's still a Gu Ape that hasn't appeared yet … …"

"No matter where it is, it won't be here. Let's go!" Without saying a word, Li Jinglong quickly ran to the garden. Ever since the three of them had left, the guard had been very nervous. He had his bow and arrow ready at all times and was in a state of alert. When he saw Li Jinglong running over, he immediately stopped pretending and shouted, "Enemy attack! The exorcist is here! "

This shout instantly confirmed Li Jinglong's guess. Hong Jun whistled and released four flying knives with both hands. The arrows of the two guards flew over and were instantly sliced into several pieces by the Immortal Slaying Flying Knives that were spinning in the air! Li Bai secretly approached the entrance of the peony garden in an instant and shouted, "Can I kill him?!"

"But … …" Li Jinglong, "… … So?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Bai had already cut half of the guard's body with a "swoosh" sound and blood splattered. Li Jinglong roared, "Why are you asking me when you've already killed him?!"

Hongjun shouted, "Don't kill the demon!"

When Hongjun saw that there were only two guards on the other side, he immediately couldn't bear it. Li Bai shouted, "Okay!" Then he suddenly stabbed the other guard's thigh like a whirlwind. The guard shouted and fell to the ground.

Li Bai's knife technique was extremely strange. It didn't look like the knife of the Central Plains at all. The knife was like a sword but not a sword. It was extremely thin and long, and it was like dancing.

Hongjun was about to cheer loudly, but Li Jinglong said, "Go in quickly!" After saying that, he grabbed Hongjun's collar. The two of them stepped on the outer wall of the peony garden and turned around at the same time to enter the inner courtyard.

The fragrance around them was so strong that it made the two of them dizzy. There was a rockery in the peony garden, and it was full of colorful peonies. The flowers even emitted a faint black gas.

After Li Bai stabbed the two guards to the ground, the guards instantly transformed into two big monkeys with blood flowing out. Li Bai said, "Hey, monkeys?"

When Hongjun and Li Jinglong landed, there were peony flowers everywhere. Li Jinglong said, "It's recorded in the book that flowers can only be transformed into humans through the use of the Shapeshifting Technique. Their bodies must be rooted in the soil. If I'm not wrong, this should be where their real bodies are …"

While they were talking, dozens of guards suddenly rushed out of the small house in the garden. The two of them were shocked and hurriedly retreated. They heard Li Bai shout, "Leave them to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Bai took off the wine pouch from his waist, drank a few mouthfuls of wine, and staggered forward. After the monkey demons turned into guards, they climbed up the roof and the beams. Their movements were incomparably fast. However, Li Bai's speed was even faster. He practically turned into a gust of wind. With a few swishes, he knocked down one of them. The Drunken Steps were even more elegant. Ordinary monkey demons couldn't get close to him at all!

Other than Li Jinglong, Hongjun finally saw another mortal who could rely on his own strength to suppress demons. Li Bai swayed left and right, shuttling back and forth between the monkey demons. He still seemed to be at ease. When he pointed his sword, there were injured but not dead monkey demons everywhere.

"Burn it with fire?" Li Jinglong asked.

Just as Hong Jun was about to raise the flame, all the peonies in the garden suddenly emitted a black gas, and a fragrance filled the air. Countless naked women with fair skin stood up from the flowers, revealing their enchanting figures and moaning.

Li Jinglong: "…"

Hongjun: "…"
