At Haishi, the bridges to the north and south of the Goddess Bridge were dark, but the tower in the center of Xuandu City was brightly lit. It was mid-spring, and a Qingyang flag was erected high on the top of the building. Inside the building, Siye's officials were busy busy.

Telling time is an important job in the state, and no one dares to slack off in the slightest.

The scale officer watched the fish beads fall into the copper drain closely, and immediately knocked the wooden fish at hand. The watchman heard the sound and raised the time plate.

The chicken man responsible for telling the time has "Little Thunder Sound Curse" painted with cinnabar patterns on his cheeks and tongue. When he sees that the time has come, he raises his neck and sings: "Bingye Xin, Qinghe Jing, Meng Liangchen!"

The sound can be heard for miles.

The inscriptions in the bronze cauldron quickly turned into ashes. After Lingzhu recited the prayer in front of the Great God of Liuhu, he dipped his finger in vermilion mud and drew an exorcism charm on the hand of the person who was on call.

Xuandu Qiaolou's exorcism technique ranks at the seventh level, and is divided into thirty-six types according to Ziwu Liuzhu, which are used in different seasons and hours.

The Sanjiao Sutra is most prosperous at Haishi, and it is Wuchen day. It is said that Wuchen Qi absorbs the Sanjiao pulse, so the exorcism spell that Lingzhu wants to draw this time is attached to the Sanjiao Sutra. Lingzhu started writing at the tip of Li Chan's little finger,

The five points of Liguanchong, Liquidmen, Zhongzhu, Yangchi and Waiguan are connected by the spiritual veins and completed in one go.

If you encounter evil spirits while walking at night, you only need to hold up your little finger and make a kneading hand in front of you, and recite "The power of the bright light, keep away all ghosts" to drive away the evil spirits.

Li Li'er also drew the same talisman on his hand. He knew that this talisman was useless to him. It could only scare away lonely ghosts and prevent the watchman from being infected with yin energy and getting sick.

It's counterproductive. But as Li Chan said, this exorcism spell may be able to anger the demon.

Mr. Shen's suggestion made Li Li'er understand that this evil evil man was just a scapegoat caught by Shenzha Si in order to stay out of the matter.

But Li Li'er had to admit that Li Chan's acting skills were very good and she almost deceived him.

In a case that is not too big or too small, everyone has ulterior motives. On the surface, they all want to solve the case, but secretly, they are trying to gain leverage for themselves. This is the case for Sun Sicheng, Li Chan, and even Li Li'er himself - he

We need to break this game and complete Mr. Shen’s first lesson.

Li Li'er knew that Li Chan was playing tricks and pretending, so he tried to get rid of Guo Xun and waited for an opportunity to escape.

But the method Li Chan thought of, pretending to be a watchman, was somewhat useful.

…

Guo Xun felt very uncomfortable with the tranquility of Qinghefang. In his impression, this place was always brightly lit, with candle oil burning all night so that no mosquitoes could be seen, and bad sheep's hooves and suet chive cakes were sold on the street in the alley.

The food stalls, the Qibao Leicha in the Bailun Tower, the singing girls meditating and sitting in the embroidered pillars of the Tong Tower, the female sumo wrestlers wearing only tube tops and underpants with visible thighs, the gold powder covering the moon shadow in the Pu water... It all seemed to come out of thin air.

disappeared.

Guo Xun sighed: "This monster is really guilty of a heinous crime. It's a heinous crime. Mr. Xiaolang, Qinghefang depends on you."

Li Chan raised his head and glanced at the moon, "Captain Guo, it's time to move."

Guo Xun waved to the eight demon-hunting officers around him and ordered: "Do you know what to do?"

A demon hunter said: "Don't worry, Captain Guo, we will guard every exit of Qinghefang so that no flies can escape."

Guo Xun glared and said, "Can a demon compete with a human? Not only the exit, but also all the places are guarded by me. Two brothers have already died. No one will try to trick me this time!"

The demon hunting officials were ordered to disperse, and Guo Xun quickly hid in the night.

Li Lier did not stop Guo Xun from leaving. For him, it was a good thing that Guo Xun was sent away. Since Sun Sicheng had evil intentions, this captain was also the same.

Li Chan sat on the stone pier beside the Qinghefang archway, tightened his leggings three more points, and tied a long tube to his back. He stood up and patted his buttocks, picked up the gong and lantern at his feet, and walked in

Qinghefang.

The white leather lantern swayed with the footsteps and was struck with a hammer.

"Boom!"

Li Li'er felt a little awkward, so she still banged the clapper.

“Tuk-tuk!”

It was dark in the square, and the lanterns hanging at the door of the rich households were all extinguished. The rain had stopped temporarily, and there was water on the stone tile floor, reflecting the strong moonlight.

Two white lanterns shone a few feet of light and moved around the street, making the clock call particularly loud in the dead silence.

"Rain and dampness prevent thieves and thefts!"

"Boom!"

“Tuk-tuk!”

There was night fog in Qinghefang.

Walking into the pipa, there was a faint sound of voices coming from a distance. Li Li'er followed the sound and saw that there were faint shadows of lights swaying in the mist.

"The city god has issued a notice, is there still a night market?"

"Life is not easy." Li Chan sighed with emotion, then suddenly stopped and said, "Little Prince, please change your path."

"What's wrong?" Li Lier's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Go this way." Li Chan raised his hand and pointed to the alley leading to Pipa. The alley was dark and he didn't know where it led.

The fox's tail was finally exposed, Li Li'er thought to herself. If she followed the original path, she would be heading towards the Pushui Palace Temple and the Goddess Temple, but the direction Li Chan was pointing was in the opposite direction.

But Li Li'er didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"Then let's split up."

Li Li'er left a word, turned around, and walked into the night fog. Li Chan wanted to escape, so he let him escape. The Shenqisi transferred this man out of the prison just as a cover and as a scapegoat.

He ran away, and it was Shenzhaos fault.

Li Chan said hello, but in the blink of an eye, Li Li'er had disappeared. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the supervisor had never believed in him.

"My heart was set on the bright moon..." Li Chan murmured, "But the bright moon shines on the ditch."

He raised the hammer and struck the gong twice hard.

"Rain and dampness prevent thieves and burglars!"

After shouting, he walked into the pipa.

The deeper we went into the alley, the thicker the fog became. At first, the outlines of the door eaves of the houses along the alley were faintly visible, but later they were completely invisible.

Later, I couldn't even see the road under my feet.

Li Chan felt as if he was in a boundless white world, and the dim light of the white lantern was suppressed to only a few inches.

There is no road here anymore. It seems to be in the clouds. If you step in any direction, you will fall.

Li Chan's blue pupils reflected the quiet narrow alley in the night.

He was walking leisurely, and suddenly, a stone wall appeared a few inches away from his eyes. It seemed that he had reached the bottom of the alley. He was about to hit the wall immediately, but Li Chan didn't blink, and went straight towards it, but passed through the wall.

.

In front of my eyes, the scene was clear and clear. The slightly cold night wind carried the smell of Pu Shui, mixed with a few faint scents of peach blossoms. The Goddess Bridge was not far ahead, and the river washed the bridge base, and occasionally there was a splash.

, the sound was so light it seemed like an illusion.

Li Chan glanced back and saw that all the white mist had disappeared. What he was walking through was not Pipa Lane, but Qintai Street leading to the Goddess Bridge.

The street was pitch dark, without any lights, shadows, or sounds. A full moon hung in the sky, looking down at the cold world.

The young man holding the lantern with a clapper was nowhere to be seen. He was led to an unknown corner.

Li Chan patted his sleeves, as if to wipe away the moist mist that had not caught on it, and said to himself: "Such a thick mirage."

He raised his head, his beautiful eyes piercing the dark night like sharp arrows, and glanced at the Pushui Palace Temple at the end of the Goddess Bridge.
