Based on the book "Jialan's Mysterious Story" written by Lin Xiangzhi, Ji Que quickly determined what these bewitched people had in common.

Without exception, all of these people have read the book "The Mysterious Story of Jialan".

Through the investigation of the Department of Qingqi, it was found that this book "Jialan's Mysterious Story" has only been circulated in the past six months.

In fact, there are all kinds of idle books circulating in the capital, the most common of which are all kinds of erotic stories, such as stories about monks conquering demons and erotic stories, and romance stories about concierges. The more outrageous the books, the more widely circulated they are.

After all, people's lives are hard, and they can only rely on these books to comfort themselves.

However, in the past six months, there has been a trend of reading mysterious books in the capital. Most of the stories are mainly horror and excitement, with a little bit of that kind of content.

This kind of thing has long been seen as strange, and no one thought much about it. Who would have thought to check it out, and found out that this "Jialan Weird Story" is the most widely circulated. It can be said that a big family like Ning Mansion has this book.

see.

This book is said to be the experience collected by a wandering monk who traveled far and wide. Some are even written from the perspective of personal experience, giving people a sense of reality.

It is because of this sense of reality that it is so exciting to read, and that is why it is so popular.

People who have read this book must have an impression of that kind of weird opera, and if these people go to listen to such a similar opera, they may fall into the trap.

Ji Que couldn't help but analyze: "Is it a psychological suggestion?"

The evil spirit that Ji Que killed was quickly dismembered and studied by people from the Qingqi Department, and they initially concluded that it was a centipede.

A very large centipede with a head crowded with human faces and eyes, and similar eyes inside its body.

These eyes gathered together can easily affect people's minds, even practitioners like Lin Xiangzhi are no exception.

The previous theater had long since been deserted and no trace of it was found. However, "Jialan's Mysterious Story" was widely circulated. Finding the author would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Some officials from the Qingqi Department even analyzed whether the book might have been written by this killed centipede.

Because through observation, they found that the giant centipede had been dismantled into many pieces, but some of the pieces were still moving, and even had some tricks up their sleeves, such as possibly biting people secretly, which seemed very smart.

So they thought that this centipede spirit might be the wandering monk who wrote the book.

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi stopped this evil thing by fishing, but they don't know if the murderer was caught.

As a result, at this time, Ning Hongyu came over with a woman who was almost as hot as hers.

Li Wang?

Ji Que was blind and his memory was not very good, but he had a good impression of this king with a different surname.

Because there are very few women who can match the figure of a female top.

"You guys have done a good job here. Come on, follow me into the palace. His Majesty wants to see you two."

Hearing this, Lin Xiangzhi quickly said: "I want to go too, I will be there that day."

King Li nodded and said with appreciation: "Your bait is indeed good, but His Majesty only wants to see them now."

With that said, he took Ji Que and Ning Hongyu away.

Lin Xiangzhi stood alone in the wind, messy.

What is bait? I was obviously the main force that day, but he was the wing, okay?

Ji Que was a little surprised that this man who stood at the pinnacle of power in Dasheng Dynasty suddenly wanted to see him...

In the Northland, he is indeed the number one figure. Whether inside or outside the sub-building of the Demon-Conquering Tower, or within the various sects in the Northland, his words and deeds carry a certain weight.

But in this capital, he is indeed a real newcomer. If we have to talk about his identity, he is Miss Ning's lover.

He did not expect that he would be summoned by the emperor just after he came to kill a singing centipede.

At the same time, he also smelled trouble.

The steps to enter the palace to meet the saint are not as complicated as imagined, on the contrary, they are very simple.

King Li took Ji Que and the two of them to an elegant side hall, but they didn't see a single eunuch or maid in the process.

In the side hall, a middle-aged man in black casual clothes was sitting there.

The man's face is not very outstanding, it can even be said to be very ordinary, but just sitting there, he gives off an air of calmness and self-power, making people dare not look directly at him.

Ji Que was thinking about how to salute, but Emperor Sheng Yu waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, I have something to ask of you this time."

There were fruits and wine on the arranged tables. After Ji Que and the three of them took their seats, a conversation began as if it were a normal family affair.

Before getting down to business, His Majesty the Emperor naturally praised the Ning family, expressed its help to the dynasty, and recalled that his ancestors had borrowed money from the Ning family.

This was naturally to get closer, but the emperor would not just ask for help with words, but would say in person: "If this can be done, I owe the Ning family a favor. If there is anything I can do to help, I will naturally do my best."

As a man who stood at the pinnacle of power, the emperor's words were naturally not empty promises, but it just showed that the trouble he encountered was probably really troublesome.

Is there any trouble in this world that even the emperor cannot solve?

Afterwards, Emperor Sheng Yu once again told the strange story about raising a dragon, and as expected, it was somehow related to the big centipede Ji Que encountered that night.

The family members of those who fell into the trap dreamed that their bodies were full of eyes, while the Emperor dreamed that the old dragon he raised was full of eyes.

At this time, King Li introduced: "The Qingqi Division has found the relevant files about the centipede you killed. It may be the legendary 'Touching Dragon.'"

"Touching the dragon?" Ji Que asked doubtfully.

"The dragon is not a dragon. As you said, it is a kind of centipede. According to legend, this kind of centipede grows on a tree in the sky. If a dragon rests on the tree, it will try to get into the dragon's body and become parasitic in it.

Over time, the dragon will gradually become corrupted and controlled by it, which is very similar to what your Majesty described." King Li said seriously.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu couldn't help but glance at each other.

Because after hearing what King Li said about the tree growing in the sky, both of them couldn't help but think of the ancestral tree.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have just heard the news and couldn't help but said: "You mean, someone is raising a dragon that can harm me, but how did the dragon come to the mortal world in the sky?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Neither Ji Que nor Ning Hongyu said anything, but they speculated that this might be related to foreign objects or even gods in the sky.

"You two have been in contact with this kind of thing a lot, what do you think?" the emperor asked.

“If something goes wrong with that dragon, what are you going to do?”…

"If we can't save him, we have no choice but to kill him," Emperor Sheng Yu said with a complex expression.

Finally, the four people discussed what to do.

The emperor found Ji Que and Ning Hongyu, not only because they were interested in their ability to deal with evil objects, but also because they were "newcomers".

If someone made a fuss about this matter, it might cause a lot of turmoil, so it would be most appropriate for the two newcomers to take action.

Ji Que's goal is to go down and check the situation.

At this time, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu had already looked at the files on raising Longtan.

Ning Hongyu knew about the existence of Yanglong Pond, but he didn't know that there was an ancient tomb under the Longtan.

It is actually rare to have ancient tombs in the palace, but it is understandable because both the dead and the living throughout the ages like to be places where Feng Shui gathers.

This ancient tomb was excavated and built by the third generation emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty. It was only from this generation of emperors that the royal family of the Sheng Dynasty had a history of raising dragons.

Because there is a strong dragon energy there.

Early the next morning, Ji Que and Ning Hongyu were ready to go into the water.

The water is green and everything is profound.

There was a row of snow plums planted beside the pond. They were shaken by the wind and fell into a soft pink color, just like the pastels painted by an artist.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu no longer hesitated and jumped straight into the water, like a couple who committed suicide by drowning themselves in the lake.

The water in this pool was very cold, a bit biting. Ji Que thought, and the pores of his body's skin closed, immediately isolating the cold feeling from outside.

As they continued to dive, the skylight above their heads became farther and farther away from the two of them.

The water in the well is green, and I don’t know the depth.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu took a deep breath and began to dive.

At the same time, the sword bracelet on his hand lit up with cold light, preventing the two of them from going blind.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu's body movements are agile, like two swimming fish, diving underground quickly.

Especially the Ninghong fish, paired with a red dress, looks like the most beautiful mermaid in the world.

The pool was much deeper than Ji Que imagined. With his speed, he felt like he had been swimming for a long time, as if he could never reach the bottom.

After a while, the pool of water finally reached the bottom.

There are several large rocks at the bottom of the pool. The rocks are covered with moss, which looks like sticky snot, which is a bit disgusting.

Ji Que and Ning Hongyu looked around and found no useful information.

According to the records in the archives, Longju was near that ancient tomb.

Ever since, Ning Hongyu closed her right eye.

The flow of the pool water was very weak, not much stronger than the fluctuation of a butterfly flapping its wings, but as long as it moved, she could feel it.

Not long after, Ning Hongyu opened his right eye and swam somewhere.

There, a huge water hole appeared in sight.

The water hole is very rough and should have been brought out when traveling. It is full of potholes.
