Episode 5

Mei Zhuyu asked coldly, and at this moment, Wen Hua pushed the door open and entered.Wu Zhen had transformed into a tabby cat, jumped onto the desk lightly, staring at Mei Zhuyu. This rare initiative made Mei Zhuyu involuntarily embrace her in her arms.As night fell, Mei Zhuyu buried Wuhuan's bones deep in the soil and sealed them with a spell, but he didn't know that Wuhuan's bones had been quietly replaced by Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen brought the true bones back to the demon market and worked with the elders to cast spells in an attempt to destroy them.However, at the moment when Wuhuan's bones shattered, a fierce evil aura oozed out, and everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, it was the bones of the evil evil and strange baby.Eighteen years ago, the evil evil and weird baby broke into Chang'an alone, causing a bloody storm, and the demon market almost overturned.The ex-master Mao Gong killed him at the cost of both souls and souls.Now that the residual bones reappear, it means that the evil evil and strange babies may reappear on earth, and the demon market is in danger.

At the same time, a woodcutter was walking alone in the mountains and suddenly encountered thick fog covering his eyes.In the hazy state, he saw an old woman standing beside the road. After a closer look, she turned out to be her mother who had been dead for many years.The woodcutter was filled with sorrow and joy. Before he could think about it, he knelt down and cried and expressed his longing, but he didn't realize the strange smile on the corner of the old woman's mouth.The old woman's figure gradually changed, and she turned into a young woman, and in a blink of an eye, she sucked the woodcutter's essence.

For several consecutive days, frequent disappearances of villagers in Chang'an have shocked the whole world.Mei Zhuyu noticed something strange and wanted to investigate it personally, but Xu Luan took the lead and sent an associate to go there.The three of them searched along the mountain road, thinking that the villagers were lost or accidentally ate toxins, but suddenly they saw thick fog suddenly rising and the mountain path twisted. It was clear that the mountains were swaying in formation to lure them into the trap.

Three missing villagers staggered out of the fog, their faces were gray and their eyes were cloudy, and they roared and rushed towards the three of them.The mountains were swaying behind the trees, and they were about to harvest their prey, but the rat spirit was inserted into it and they were very angry.The rat spirit reminded the mountains that such a predatory prey will surely attract the second king of the demon market.Seeing the mountain hesitant, the rat spirit expressed his willingness to help her, but in fact it was also helping herself.

Mei Zhuyu looked through all the files of Xuanjiansi, but she could not see the records of the sky fire eighteen years ago.He asked Xu Luan, but the other party was vague and said that the relevant case files had been taken away by the palace. Even as a minister, he had to apply for entry to the palace at the beginning of every month before he could check it.At this moment, villagers from the western suburbs flocked to Liu's mansion and begged Liu Gongshen to be fair.Liu Gongshen questioned Xu Luan in public, but Xuanjiansi and Jingzhao Mansion were shirking each other, and no one was willing to take on this difficult thing.

The people outside the door complained and the scene was almost out of control.Mei Zhuyu stepped forward from the crowd and bowed to the west suburbs to investigate the case. Liu Gongshen immediately agreed.In the shadow of the eaves, Wu Zhen and Liu Taizhen were sitting in the carriage, looking at each other, and then they returned to the demon market.Zhu Ying, the deputy of the Snake Master, reported that there was a thunder-striking wood hidden in the western suburbs, and this thing was the only way to eliminate the evil spirit of the bones.Wu Zhen immediately decided to go to the western suburbs the next day.

Mei Zhuyu counted all his salary and case rewards, and put them in the box, preparing to propose to Wu Zhen in two days.Thinking that if Wu Zhen came, the muddy path and dilapidated donkey shed in front of the door were really unbearable, so he ordered Wenhua to hire someone to pave stones and build roads. He demolished the donkey shed in the yard, and Wenhua had to do so.

Empress Wu was worried that her sister would take risks, so she sent Jinwu Guards Huaian and Linyuan to accompany them to protect them.Although Wu Zhen felt it was unnecessary, he did not refuse and took the two straight to the western suburbs.When they arrived in the western suburbs, Mei Zhuyu was surrounded by angry villagers and questioned.When everyone saw him coming alone, his clothes were simple, he just thought the government was perfunctory.Wu Zhen immediately revealed his identity, and the county lord's prestige made the villagers retreat in panic, and finally believed that the court was indeed investigating the case.When entering the mountain, plum Zhuyu led the donkey, while Wu Zhen sat on the donkey's back. The two of them were one in front and one behind, and the scene was warm.

Elder Grey came again, trying to report to Wu Zhen about the disappearance of the rat demon.The book without words stood in front of me coldly, indicating that it would investigate on its behalf.Elder Grey hinted that the wordless book should not miss the demon cultivation path because of Yuzhong, after all, Wu Zhen was half a man and half a demon after all.When Elder Grey left, Wuzishu turned around and stepped into the secret room. He was going to take the demon pill to refine medicine to accelerate Wu Zhen's transformation into a demon. Now, in order to avoid arousing Elder Grey's suspicion, he threw the rat demon into the alchemy furnace to silence him.

Wu Zhen and plum blossoms walked to the hillside of the mountain and saw gray and white miasma filling the forest, and the fishy and rotten aura floating faintly.Mei Zhuyu thought it was just ordinary fog, but Wu Zhen recognized that it was Shan Posa's trick at first sight, and immediately took out the simple yarn and let Mei Zhuyu cover her.The two of them bypassed the fog and miasma and took another path into the mountain. Wu Zhen accidentally sprained his foot. Mei Zhuyu carried her on her back without saying anything, and the colorful butterfly flapped her wings and swept over the overlapping figures of the two.
