Master Xi of Ming told everyone about the ins and outs of the curse of the Fox Temple in the Ghost Fox Forest.

This was obviously a legend compiled by the Master Xi of Ming Dynasty at the beginning, but it eventually became a real curse.

The master continued, since the case of Prince Wang, the temple has become more and more strange.

In the next few years, strange things happened one after another. The people who came to make their wishes became more and more strange. I regretted that I had come up with such a precaution back then.

"Something happened later?"

The master nodded, "Originally, there were women who had no way out to come here to make wishes. In the end, it became a variety of things. Some people who owe gambling debts hope that the creditor of the village would die, some people who want to die with their original lovers, some people who want to get promoted and make money, and some people who are fighting for land and selling houses. This forest used to be bustling like a market, and those who come to make wishes would line up to get half a mile away.

Zhan Zhao found it incredible, “The price is so high, so many people come to make wishes? Are you not afraid of a sudden disaster in the end?”

The master sneered, "This is a gambler mentality. Can you make a big fortune with a small fortune? Maybe you don't have to die if you wish you realize it?"

"Then are all cursed by those who come to make wishes?"

The master sighed, "Some are sure and some are not accurate, there are too many people coming. There are not only those who make wishes and are unlucky! For example, two families have a conflict, and one comes to make wishes. As a result, another family dies... Can the other family not come to my mountain to argue? Later, several unlucky families joined forces to find a group of hunters and said they wanted to go into the mountain to kill the demon fox. Who did the fox provoke whom? They were all driven away by me later."

"Then how did this matter be resolved later?"

"Later, Xuan Ning gave me the idea." The master hummed awkwardly, "He said that the disciples in my sight would tell people everywhere. This wish is only useful on the full moon night, so that everyone can be concentrated to only come once a month."

Everyone nodded - the monk was a little wise, which was indeed a good idea.

"Then on the night of the full moon, Xuan Ning went into the mountain to pretend to be a fox demon to scare those who entered. In addition, he asked someone to spread news and said that the wishes here were not accurate. Someone disappeared before and asked the ghost fox to trick him into eating. In this way, after a while, gradually no one spread the legend again."

The master said this and stomped his feet, "I'm so dying that there are so many evil stories. He said that the fox demon was a woman in red clothes and named Meier..."

When Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang heard this, he looked at the Grand Master in surprise, "Is this compiled by Master Xuanning?"

"Isn't that true!" The master was angry, "As a result, I really heard that a woman in red clothes named Meier was a vixen or something... This time Shuyun came to me, I thought of this matter."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both admired the couple - you two are a fairy girl and a divine monk, you are so perfect. Has your mouth been opened? How can you say something that works?

The master said "tsk" and said, "The fox demon had a quarrel in Daming Mansion for a while a few years ago, and he also killed several people. When you go back, go to Daming Mansion to find a visit to Constable Zhou."

"The Godly Captain Zhou Shen?" Daming Mansion was next to Kaifeng Mansion. Zhan Zhao naturally met the constable in the yamen, and Zhou Shen and his old friend were together.

The master nodded, and then took everyone out of the forest and returned to the mountain.

A bunch of men in black were caught on the top of Mingyang Mountain.

The disciples of Mingyang Mountain found a unified token from the man in black, and an eagle was carved on the lock-shaped token.

Zhan Zhao looked at it for a long time and asked Bai Yutang, "Which sect is from?"

The fifth master shook his head—he didn't know either.

"It's the killer of Eagle Lock Tower." The master frowned.

"What kind of sect is Yingluo Tower?" Zhan Zhao had never heard of it.

"Since the four major sects in Jiangnan and Gaohe Village fell, the forces in the Jianghu have basically been washed away again. Xingyue Tower has also collapsed. Wulong Village has collapsed a while ago. Now there are new sects in the Jianghu. In the alternation of the old and new, the major sects are fighting very well. Yingsuo Tower has some intention of taking over Xingyue Tower back then, and there are many killers."

As he said that, the master looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "You two don't care about anything. Those old sects have some connection with you."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang wanted to refute a few words, but found speechless…

There are hundreds of killers in any local government.

In addition, Zhan Zhao found that most of these killers were not Han people, so he felt that things might not be that simple.

Zhan Zhao asked the White Dragon King to help ride Yaoyao back to Kaifeng Prefecture and informed Zhao Pu to send troops to escort the foreign killers.

The Heavenly Lord stayed in Mingyang Temple for the time being. Qin Shuyun packed up the chariots and horses. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to Daming Mansion overnight to find Constable Zhou, and then waited for Zhao Pu to send someone to come and go back to Kaifeng together tomorrow morning.

...

At this time, a large number of foreigners who came to celebrate their birthdays in Kaifeng City arrived, and the imperial city immediately became lively, especially the few streets near the Guanxin City, which were a bit crowded.

Ouyang Shaozheng and his men were busy maintaining order. Zhao Pu was not very relieved and sent a bunch of shadow guards to stare at him. He also found a private room in the nearby high-rise building and sat to see the situation.

After finally getting dark, Ouyang went to Taibaiju to buy roast chicken, barbecue and wine, and ran back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Seeing that someone had entered the Kaifeng Prefecture safely, Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief and went to the palace with Gongsun to pick up Xiao Sizi.

In the palace, Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi had just finished their supper and were taking a walk in the garden. Xiao Wu ran over to Zhao Zhen at some point.

Zhao Zhen, the Nine Five, was plucking hair for the King of Beasts. Xiao Wu's furry feel was probably very good. Zhao Zhen and Xiangxiang were both impressed.

When Zhao Pu entered the palace, he saw this scene and shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Zhen asked how the case was progressing, and did the vixen catch it?

Zhao Pu couldn't answer, either, because the suspected vixen was eating and drinking in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Gongsun went to take the pulse for Concubine Pang, gave a few instructions, and then pulled the two children away, leaving Zhao Zhen, and leaving the palace with Zhao Pu.

On the way, I met the Demon King so by chance, Ye Zhiqiu and a group of young talents from the Imperial Academy.

When Zhao Pu saw the demon king, he quickly took a step to speak.

The two walked behind, and before Zhao Pu could speak, the demon king asked him, "Is there any evil sign?"

Zhao Pu clapped and nodded - Help, old man!

The demon king smiled, "Since Xiao Sizi said that, it must be accurate, but Xiao Sizi didn't see bad pictures. This is a good side. Calculating the bad omen is not necessarily a bad thing. You should watch him more during this period."

Zhao Pu was relieved when he heard this and asked again, "Is there any hint? For example, where does the evil come from?"

"It's usually something unusual. Has he had any sudden problems recently?"

Zhao Pu was helpless, Ouyang Shaozheng was heartless and careless. Except for the reliable war, he would forget everything else just by turning around. If you want to talk about the sudden problems, there were only two people who had encountered recently.

The Ninth Prince told the Demon King, "I want to get out of singleness and suddenly got stuck with a fox."

The Demon King thought for a while, "Why would you like to ask him if he has offended anyone recently?"

Zhao Pu almost squirted, that red hair is basically offending people every day.

"This is Kaifeng Imperial City. He is the commander of the Imperial City Army. At the foot of the emperor, the reason for offending others is nothing more than fame and fortune." The demon king reached out and patted Zhao Pu on the shoulder, "You ask him to think about it carefully, and you can think about it well for him."

After saying that, the Demon King went back to find his own soy sauce group, but as a result, Tianzun was not there, he took Yin Hou out to visit the night market.

...

When Zhao Pu entered the yard, he saw Ouyang Shaozheng sitting under the apricot blossom tree, drinking and eating with the fox.

The little fourth son, Xiao Liangzi and Bao Yan all ran to watch the fox. The fat fox was also gentle and touched casually.

Zhao Pu was thinking about the words of the Demon King just now, and the old man seemed to have something in his words.

Outside, Zou Liang, Lin Yehuo and Long Qiaoguang came in talking and laughing.

Mr. Guang was on holiday, after all, he had just gotten married, but rumors about vixen and haunted in Kaifeng City these days have spread. Mr. Guang couldn't sit still, so he asked Zou Liang to drink.

During dinner, Zou Liang told him about the great misfortune of Ouyang Shaozheng. In terms of age, if He Yihang is not here, Long Qiaoguang is the biggest, so he can't sit still, so he came to Kaifeng Prefecture.

The three brothers stared at Ouyang when they entered the house.

Ouyang Shaozheng was holding wine in one hand and was sitting cross-legged watching the fox eat roast chicken. He was in a good mood.

"Who is that person?" Mr. Guang pointed to the fox and asked Zhao Pu and Zou Liang, "His brother? He's the same color!"

Zhao Pu lifted the passing little son and handed it to Long Qiaoguang.

The little fourth son was very enthusiastic and detailed, and shared the story with Long Qiaoguang.

Zhao Pu pulled Zou Liang and asked him, "Have you ever had a fight with someone recently?"

Zou Liang was thinking about it all day today, and he really remembered something, which might have something to do with the fox. "It seems that there was once a while ago."

"What's the specific thing?"

"At the edge of the forest near the military camp... we were going to catch a roe deer to eat, but when we went in, we saw a hunter putting the clips on the hunting animals, we put all the clips on it. Later, the hunters were anxious. We said that the seat of the forest was so dependent on the official road. What if we put so many clips on the passers-by, and they started arguing. The hunters looked not locals, but were quite arrogant. The red-haired grabbed the two and beat them up, and the group ran away."

Zhao Pu also recalled what he heard with Ye Zhiqiu before in suburban farmers that hunters caught foxes.

Zhao Pu asked Qianyi to take the shadow guards to investigate who these hunters were.

As we were chatting, there was a familiar sound of wind above our heads.

Everyone raised their heads and saw Yaoyao coming back, flapping their wings and hovering around Meow Meow.

The White Dragon King jumped down from the dragon's back and fell into the yard and turned around happily, but accidentally stepped on Xiao Wu's tail.

How high did Xiao Wu jump when he jumped, and the White Dragon King was so scared that he jumped up.

Everyone in Kaifeng saw two balls of black and white jumping up high, accompanied by the mosquito-like screams of the White Dragon King.

Gongsun looked up and found that only the White Dragon King had come back. Zhan Zhao and the others didn't come, and they were a little puzzled.

While helping Xiao Wu rub his tail, the White Dragon King told Zhao Pu and the others what happened in Mingyang Mountain.

"Many foreign killers?"

This sentence still made Zhao Pu and the others alert.

The Ninth Prince asked Zou Liang to lead his troops there and escort everyone back. Lin Yehuo had nothing to do, so he accompanied Zou Liang.

Zhao Pu was still not very relieved Ouyang Shaozheng, so he decided to stay and stare at him.
