    The rain stopped suddenly.

    Chang'an, which was hot in July, finally had a chance to breathe and cool down slowly.

    The rainwater accumulated on the road has not dispersed, and the common people, all with bare arms, scooped up water with buckets, regardless of filtering out dust and mud, and poured them into clay vats for future use.

    When the sky drier, Shen Cong took Jin Yiwei to Dingguohou's Mansion to look for clues again.

    The torrential rain for several days washed away most of the bloody smell in the mansion, and only Shen Cong could distinguish the rest by relying on his cultivation.

    Several people scattered around and began to check Dingguohou's mansion again.

    Gu Jiuling stood in the distance, staring fixedly at Jin Yiwei walking back and forth.

    To be precise, he stared fixedly at Shen Cong who was walking back and forth in a corner.

    "Master Gu, your Hou Mansion has been in disrepair for a long time." Shen Cong glanced sideways, glanced at Gu Jiuling, and pointed to the hole over there.

    Gu Jiuling frowned and stepped forward.

    This hole seems to be new, and there is still debris in the grass.  Although washed away by heavy rain, larger clods are still clearly visible.  Shen Cong, as Jin Yiwei, although he only has the job of arresting the head, it is impossible not to discover these things.

    "Dingguo Hou's mansion is guarded by family shadow guards, and those who can trespass are definitely not ordinary people." Gu Jiuling slowly clenched his fists.

    "Shadow Guards have always been allowed to be kept in the mansion only by princes and nobles. The corpses that were moved out that day totaled 425. In addition to the pre-determined princes and the Gu family's descendants, there were dozens of servants. The rest were  There are 219 shadow guards in total."

    Shen Cong stretched out his hand to push away the grass, stroked the dust on the hole, and slowly opened his lips,

    "Among them, there are a total of ten people with cultivation bases, all of whom have reached the state of conceiving babies. The only one who can quietly wipe out your Gu family in Chang'an City, and suck away all those human deeds, is the big monster Jiaxiang."

    Gu Jiuling nodded.

    Suddenly, he remembered something and frowned slightly: "The total number of shadow guards is two hundred and twenty, and one is missing."

    Another corpse that was left out?

    Shen Cong's gaze deepened, and he pulled out the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, slammed it towards the ground, and stopped firmly within an inch of it.

    "Fighting in battle, look for it!" A thread of blood came from the air with his fingers, and slowly pushed it into a golden formation that quietly appeared under the jade-faced fan.

    With a flash of the formation, a long golden dragon in the southeast tremblingly struggled to soar up from it, turned into a golden thread in the void, and flew towards a certain place in the mansion at high speed.

    Shen Cong stood up, a golden halo appeared in front of him, and he was about to take a step forward. He suddenly looked back at Gu Jiuling: "Young Master, come together."

    Gu Jiuling nodded, followed Shen Cong through the golden halo, and appeared in the southeast corner of the mansion the next moment.

    He came back to his senses in a daze, feeling that the world had turned into a magic trick.

    Is this the strange trick of a cultivator?

    The golden thread stopped in a puddle of water in this corner.

    "Gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are the best in the world, and gardens in Suzhou are the best in the south of the Yangtze River. Your garden is unique." Shen Cong sighed as he looked at the rockery and flowing water in front of him.

    Gu Jiuling didn't answer, her cold eyes reflected the small pool like stagnant water.

    There is a very faint odor.

    is a carrion.

    After all, he came down from the battlefield, and he is very sensitive to smell.  So Gu Jiuling walked to the edge of the pool, and was about to go into the water to salvage the corpse, but was pulled up by a hand.

    "No need to go into the water."

    After Shen Cong finished speaking, he shook the jade-faced keel fan, and the pool was blown to both sides by the wind, splitting into two.

    A rotten corpse appeared at the bottom of the pool, swollen to the point of whitish rotting. Under the spell blessing of Shen Cong's jade-faced fan, it slowly floated upwards and stopped by the pool.

    Gu Jiuling took a closer look.

    This corpse was dressed in the robes of the Shadow Guards of the Marquis of the Dingguo Mansion, and it was the one that disappeared.

    At that time, two brocade guards searched here, and when they saw the corpse, they all gathered around.

    Gu Jiuling stepped aside consciously.

    "The essence of the corpse is the same as what was discovered before, and it was sucked dry by the big monster." A Jin Yiwei lowered his head and grabbed his palm and turned it over to look carefully. "The tendons in the palm show signs of rupture, and there was a fierce fight before."

    "The head drooped unnaturally, the neck was broken by the demon power, the bones were shattered, and the demon power belongs to armor." Another Jin Yiwei twitched a wisp of black demon energy from the neck of the corpse, and carefully identified it.

    "A mortal, can beat a thousand-year-old monster with armor?" Shen Cong rubbed his chin.

    The two Jinyiwei looked at each other.

    I missed a little bit.  people and?There is a huge disparity in strength, not to mention that this is a big monster with a prime minister, it has become a climate.  If you want to kill Gu's family, you only need to flick your fingers.

    So how did this person manage to fight under the palm of the thousand-year-old monster?

    "He is a demon."

    After Shen Cong finished speaking, he waved his folding fan.

    A gust of wind rushed, and the swollen carrion trembled, and turned into a cat demon that had been dead for a long time.  The cat demon's hair was plucked clean, and a broken skeleton could be seen under the bloody flesh.  The skeleton was twisted in a weird way, and a large area was sunken in the chest, which was already rotten and there were even a few maggots crawling out of the hollow.

    Jin Yiwei noticed something on the demon cat's back and turned it over to have a look.  A yellowed talisman was attached to the spine of the cat demon's back, and the characters on the talisman were extremely scribbled, as if they were written in a hurry.

    "This is" Jin Yiwei remembered something, and his expression changed suddenly.

    "In Chang'an in the ancient Sui Dynasty, there was a noble lady who heard the raccoon slave eating in the middle of the night, her stomach ached like she was biting, and she died in a few days, and the wealth of her family was unknown." Shen Cong slowly closed his eyes, a ray of cold frost appeared in his eyes,

    "It's a cat ghost."

    After this day, the Dingguohou's Mansion was sealed, and no one except the Jinyiwei was allowed to enter.

    Except for Gu Jiuling.

    The next day, Shen Cong came to Dingguohou's mansion alone again.

    Yesterday they took the cat demon corpse back and looked around. Even Anbu's work came, but they didn't find anything useful.  On the contrary, Wu Zuo accidentally damaged the talisman that had turned yellow to ashes because of the long time spent on the search.

    So the corpse of the cat demon was turned into ashes together.

    For this reason, Song Cheng was so furious that he punished each Jin Yiwei who participated in the case with 30 sticks.

    He didn't escape either.

    However, probably due to his identity, those people released water when they attacked, which looked fierce, and it didn't hurt or itch when it fell on them.

    So on the second day, he took advantage of his rest and came to Dingguohou's mansion again.

    This time, he came quietly.

    Because today, he will go back to the past with a high-level immortal method to find out the real culprit.  In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he didn't bring even a single guard in brocade clothes.

    Standing in the center of the front hall and back yard, Gu Zhe slowly took down the jade fan at his waist, and was about to do it, when he turned his head and swung it towards the corner.

    A white shadow jumped out of it with a backhand palm, which directly melted the wind.

    It's Gu Jiuling.

    "It's quite profound to be able to dispel my mana with the palm wind." Shen Cong glanced at the young man who was standing aside, turned his head and unfolded the folding fan, and began to close his eyes and make seals.
