"Brother Yan, it seems that it must be done by the evil ghost mountain mandrill. These traces are exactly the same as those in Sun Taibai's mansion." Zhang Luoye squatted on the ground, touched the five deep scratches, looked at the chaotic scenery of the whole room, and couldn't help but say.

"You're right, it's indeed the evil deed." Yan Chixia also squatted on the ground, touching the scratches, and said, "However, the evil deed is really cautious. After eating Sun Taibai for nearly a month, it took another move."

Zhang Luoye frowned and asked, "Brother Yan, don't you have any active way to find its trace?"

Yan Chixia shook her head and said, "No, this mandrill is different from other evil spirits. It is huge in size, murderous, and has infinite power. It will pass through walls and walls. Unless it appears on its own initiative, we will not be able to find its whereabouts directly. Even so, let us wait for it to appear obediently is not a solution after all. It seems that we can only find another way."

Zhang Luoye raised his eyebrows: "What kind of method is this?"

"Well, just watch it." Yan Chixia said lightly, and when she turned the ring on her index finger, she suddenly saw dozens of iron nails as long as middle fingers and a bundle of red ropes appeared on the ground.

Zhang Luoye looked at Yan Chixia's ring with a familiar look, and couldn't help but think of such a ring in the rockery room. The name seemed to be 'Storage Ring'. He asked, "Brother Yan, what kind of ring is you? How come something pops up after you turn it around?"

Yan Chixia glanced at the ring in her hand and said, "Oh, have you seen the storage ring? This storage ring is a necessary magic weapon for monks. The storage area inside the ring is different according to different structures and the storage area it has. It can store or take out items according to the thought of the monks. Well, it can be understood as a sack-like thing."

After saying that, he demonstrated storing and taking out items, and Zhang Luoye looked full of joy.

Then, Yan Chixia began to work hard. He grabbed the first iron nail, wrapped it with the red rope, inserted it hard on the ground, then pulled the rope back for a distance, grabbed the second iron nail, wrapped it with the red rope, inserted it hard on the ground, and then stepped back.

Repeat this until all the nails were used up and the position was just next to the first nail. He hurriedly wrapped the rope around.

From a distance, all the nails were inserted on the scratches left by the mandrills. The ropes connected all the nails together to form a red rope array diagram.

Afterwards, Yan Chixia took a bowl of crotons, poured half a bowl of chicken blood in it, stirred it evenly with her index finger, and suddenly moved a strange step, shouting lightly, as if she was reciting some spell. After a long time, he poured the crotons dyed with chicken blood in the bowl into the red rope array diagram.

A magical scene appeared, and the red rope array diagram lit up after a buzzing sound, echoing the Croton that fell into the array diagram.

At the same time, Yan Chixia shouted again and threw a compass over the array map. After the compass dripped in the air, the next moment, it trembled slightly and sucked all the light from both the array map and the Croton below.

Yan Chixia waved her hand to the compass, and the compass fell into his palm as if obediently. He wiped the sweat from his face, waved his hand and took back the formation map and the croton on the ground.

Zhang Luoye looked at the compass in Yan Chixia's hand and asked in confusion: "Brother Yan, is this......!?"

"I just used a formation arranged with iron nails and red ropes to gather the weak demonic energy left in the scratches on the ground together, and then used chicken blood and croton to increase its demonic energy several times before it was put into the compass. In this case, only if the demonic energy dared to appear within ten feet of me, the demonic energy in the compass would react." Yan Chixia analyzed.

It’s only ten feet away, this is too short, right? You must know that the entire imperial city can reach thousands of miles of space!

Yan Chixia smiled bitterly: "I know what you are thinking, but there is no way to do it. Although this method is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack, it is better than waiting with your hands."

Seeing that it was useless to stay in the Su Mansion, Zhang Luoye and Yan Chixia bid farewell to the prefect. After the latter tried to keep them, they asked them to leave.

On the way, Yan Chixia suddenly sighed: "Little brother, I'm afraid it will be extraordinary in the future."

Zhang Luoye unexpectedly said this suddenly and asked, "Brother Yan, how can you explain this?"

"No, I just sighed. Before I became a disciple of the Tianxian Sect, my family was very poor, so every day I passed by the government and looked at the high-ranking officials inside, and I felt envy and awe. Just say that the magistrate just now, when I saw him at first, my heart trembled. Oh, I am so ashamed. Although I became a monk, the level concept of the people and officials was deeply rooted in my mind and I couldn't change it. However, seeing that magistrate in front of the little brothers, it really made it difficult for me to follow." Yan Chixia sighed.

Zhang Luoye smiled and said, "Brother Yan is so serious. What they fear is not me, but the identity of the Zhang family behind me. If I were an ordinary person, I would probably drive me out immediately."

Yan Chixia shook her head, "No, little brother, you are a fan of the authorities. Let's talk about your Zhang family. I have been in the world over the years and have also come into contact with many children of officials, but they give me the feeling that they are 'golden jade and scattered in the outside world'. However, little brother, you give me a different feeling. I think you are still young, but you are already born domineering and domineering without anger. This temperament is rare and cannot be covered by any identity."

Zhang Luoye couldn't help but touch his forehead: "Brother Yan said it, I think this is the case, it's really embarrassing."

"Let's go, after that evil man eats people, he will come out to eat people again every once in a while. Today I'm idle, so I'll invite you to drink." Yan Chixia smiled and patted Zhang Luoye's shoulder.

At that moment, Yan Chixia took Zhang Luoye to a tavern, ordered some peanuts, Suzhou Drunken Chicken, fish with clear vinegar, spicy tofu, etc., and accompanied by a few bottles of Daughter Red, and had a lot of fun eating for a while.

After three rounds of wine, Yan Chixia felt a little drunk. He touched the wine glass and said, "But speaking of it, the imperial city is really an amazing place, rich money, and arrogant. A few days ago, I sneaked into the 'Tai Chi Taoxian Township'. The wine there really made me love at will, but the price is so expensive that it is really not a place where we little citizens can stay."

‘Tai Chi Taoxian Township’, ‘Summer Palace’, ‘Summer Resort’ are the three royal holy places in the imperial city. They only accept the entry and exit of high-powered people such as royal families, nobles, officials, celebrities and scholars. They are extremely luxurious.

Especially the "Tai Chi Taoxian Township" is not a literal place to practice Taoism, but a place to concentrate brothels, which were built underground in the entire imperial city, gathering **, **, and luxury is equal to one. When the emperor's younger brother proposed to build such an underground kingdom, he believed that there is light in the world, and there is darkness, and a person could not always have light. Therefore, building such a place allows celebrities to vent their vents, and let the darkness sprout on them disappear, so as to serve the country more easily.

Zhang Luoye's face was different: "Brother Yan, have you really touched the 'Tai Chi Taoxian Township'? It is said that there are strict guards, there are many masters, and countless monks are also involved in the charge! Even if I rely on my grandfather's identity, I have to go through a good review before I can pass."

Yan Chixia smiled and said, "Well, it's too early to say this place. After all, you have fewer little brothers. How do you understand the taste of women? Not to mention this, the imperial city has been very uneasy recently. Brothers, it's better to be careful."

Zhang Luoye asked: "Does Brother Yan refer to the evil ghost mandrill?"

"No, it's not all. After all, the imperial city is too big and densely populated. This must have become a place for monsters and monsters to recite, just like something happened in the south of the city yesterday." Yan Chixia shook the wine in the glass and said lightly.

"What happened in the south of the city?" Zhang Luoye stayed in Yilun Hall, the Imperial College, all day yesterday, so he didn't know what happened in the south of the city.

Yan Chixia looked at Zhang Luoye in surprise, and after confirming that he was not a joke, she said: "Yesterday, a big crab suddenly caught at the moat of the Imperial City, with a size of one meter in diameter. The crab was very strange, half white and half blue."

Zhang Luoye was surprised when he heard this. The 10-meter-long crab was unprecedented, and it was half blue and half white. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yan, is this a crab monster?"

Yan Chixia shook her head: "It would be better if it was just a crab monster, but it was not the case. The crab was not a real crab. It was made of iron and copper, and it was engraved with runes."

"Brother Yan, is this......?" Iron copper, runes, and huge volume. Zhang Luoye thought of several 'sealing methods' in the 'Three Days of Dharma'.

The sealing method is to use great magical powers and cooperate with special means, materials, magic weapons, etc. to seal the enemy's magic. According to the scope, materials, and magic weapons involved, it is divided into three sealing methods: heaven, earth, and man.

The materials iron and copper used by Cancer, the materials iron and copper are made of the earth, so they belong to the category of sealing methods of the earth.

Yan Chixia said with a cautious look on her face: "It seems you have thought of it. It's the sealing method that can use iron and copper to strengthen the seal. It seems that the person who used this sealing technique was not simple in cultivation. Moreover, I was at the scene at that time. I observed that the white and blue colors contained two different demonic auras."

Zhang Luoye asked: "What happened to Cancer later?"

Yan Chixia frowned and said, "At that time, someone mentioned that she wanted to carry the Cancer to the yamen, let the magistrate take a testimony, and melt it to see what was hidden inside. This idea was later approved by most of the onlookers. However, just as everyone wanted to carry the crab, the crab suddenly exploded."

"Exploded? Could it be that the seal inside broke the seal?" Zhang Luoye widened his eyes.

"It's true." Yan Chixia nodded, poured a glass of wine, and said again: "The Cancer explosion caused a cloud of smoke. I saw a confused figure in the smoke. The figure suddenly burst into laughter. It sounded like a man's voice. He even shouted, and I still couldn't believe it."

Zhang Luoye asked, "Brother Yan, what did he say?"

Yan Chixia put down the wine glass, touched her forehead, and suddenly Gu Zuo said to him: "Little brother, do you know the story of the 'Legend of White Snake'?"

Legend of the White Snake? Zhang Luoye was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and he naturally knew.

"The Legend of the White Snake", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Meng Jiangnu", and "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" are known as the four major folk legends of the Tang Dynasty. They have a long history and are well-known.

The story of the Legend of White Snake is like this:

In a certain era of the Tang Dynasty, in a fairy mountain in Zhenjiang Prefecture, Jiangsu Province, there was a snake demon who claimed to be "Bai Suzhen" who had been practicing for thousands of years. In order to repay the life-saving grace of the scholar "Xu Xian" in his previous life, he turned into a human form to repay his kindness. Later, he met the green snake spirit "Xiaoqing", and the two of them got together.

Bai Suzhen used magic power and used clever tricks to get to know Xu Xian, and married him. Many things happened after the two of them, which caused Xu Xian to suffer many times and was demoted, and divorced more often at Bai Suzhen. However, Bai Suzhen never left her, which moved Xu Xian.

Soon, Xu Xian went to Jinshan Temple to visit. Fahai, the host of Jinshan Temple, identified the demonic aura that was entangled with Xu Xian's face and revealed that Xu Xian was plagued by snake demons. Xu Xian heard Fahai say that Bai Suzhen was a snake demon and was skeptical. To defend his wife, Xu Xian listened to Fahai's idea and asked Bai Suzhen to drink realgar wine on the Dragon Boat Festival. Unexpectedly, Bai Suzhen showed her true form, but scared Xu Xian to death.

Bai Suzhen had to go to the heavenly court to steal the fairy grass Ganoderma lucidum and rescue Xu Xian. Thinking of the deep affection of his wife, Xu Xian forgave Bai Suzhen. However, Fahai did not give up and tricked Xu Xian to Jinshan Temple and placed it under house arrest. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were angry and fought with Fahai together. The water flooded Jinshan Temple, but it hurt other creatures.

Xu Xian couldn't bear to be miserable and wanted to stop him, but was beaten to death by Fahai. In despair, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing tried desperately to die with Fahai. Fahai was in a hurry and sacrificed the treasure of Jinshan Temple, the temple-town "Leifeng Pagoda".

At this point, the ending is very vague, and there are many different opinions, and there is no unity. Some say that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were killed by Fahai using Leifeng Pagoda, some say

Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and Fahai died together. Some people say that Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing cannot kill Fahai, and use magic to seal him, etc.

………………

Yan Chixia said with a strange face: "The man shouted: 'It's been five hundred years, five hundred years, today I finally see the light again in Fahai. You two snake demons remember me, the hatred of seal is irreconcilable. After I restore my cultivation, even if you hide to the ends of the world, I will tear you into pieces'."

"This is true or false, no, the 'Legend of White Snake' is just a folk legend. Whether it is real or not is difficult to find. This person claims to be Fahai, this..." Zhang Luoye looked surprised.

Yan Chixia sighed and said, "So I still can't believe it until now. Unfortunately, the man had disappeared before the smoke dissipated, making this a mystery. However, if he said the truth, then Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing should really exist in a corner of the world."
