The Luzhou City government officials heard the shouting and hurriedly gathered around. The Zhenfusi in the city also heard the commotion and rushed there urgently.
The next step is to complete the process according to the process of dealing with mutation disasters.
The ruins of the inn were cleared, and the fragments of the bronze box were collected.
Jin Wusuan and his followers were arrested and taken away. Chen Wanyi and other "visitors" from Taihao Mountain were escorted to Luzhou Town Fusi. Lu Qingya, Li Ang and others were also invited to take notes and cooperate with the investigation.
This time the change was not trivial. An ancient demon actually appeared in the hinterland of the Yu Kingdom. The person who drove it was the richest businessman in the Yu Kingdom. Its target was the monk Zhuxiao and the head of Luli Academy.
In addition, there were "friends" from Taihao Mountain at the scene, and there was a strong flavor of conspiracy behind the whole incident. The Zhenfu Division did not dare to neglect, and was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
Therefore, after completing the transcripts, the surviving passengers of Yuelai Inn were not allowed to leave. Instead, they were placed in a farm outside the city by Luzhou Town Fusi and were monitored around the clock, waiting for the results of the investigation to be released.

"Master, it's time to eat."
Chai Chai's voice sounded in the living room, and Li Ang in the study responded casually and closed the book.
The temporary residence assigned by Luzhou Town Fusi is naturally much simpler than the Jinchengfang mansion, but getting up every morning listening to the crowing of chickens and barking dogs, and going to sleep listening to the chirping of insects outside the courtyard every night, feels like a childhood memory. .
Dinner was an unpretentious meal of three dishes and one soup. Chai Chai held the rice bowl and happily told the short news about the family in the village that she had heard recently. Li Ang smiled and nodded in agreement, his thoughts drifting away unconsciously.
It is now the fourth day of isolation. The Zhenfu Division and the Academy should have almost investigated the ins and outs of the matter.
After destroying the bronze box, Li Ang took advantage of the gravity turbulence to take back the ink silk, making sure that no one had seen it.
What really worried him was the dream tapir.
It was a demon that could play with memory and manipulate reality. From the beginning to the end, neither Li Ang nor Lu Qingya had ever seen the true face of Meng Tapir.
Wouldn't it be too...sloppy to be killed by the Dragon Meteor Spear like this?
And dreams.
Li Ang clearly remembers those two dreams that were both real and illusory.
Whether in the center of Tokyo, using ink silk to create a sacred hibiscus tree, or in a sanatorium, pointing a crossbow at one's temples,
All the memories are as clear as if they really happened.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Ang put down his kuaizi and said slowly: "I was in the inn before..."
Chai Chai asked in confusion: "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Did you call me?"
Li Ang asked: "Just when I was falling."
"At that time, I was thinking about your safety, young master, and hoped that you would be fine, but I didn't shout out."
Chai Chai thought for a while and said, "That dream tapir should be a monster that a monk at the level of the Academy Secretary should deal with.
When I saw you, young master, rushing into the center of the battlefield, I was really scared to death. "
"Is this so..."
Li Ang was silent for a moment after hearing this. He vaguely remembered that before he was affected by the dream tapir, he had stabbed the Dragon Meteor Spear only an inch away from the copper box.
But after hearing Chai Chai's call and waking up, he returned to mid-air and repeated the falling process.
Did you remember it wrong? Or is the dream tapir's ability to modify reality taking effect?
Could it be that I am still in the simulated dream created by Dream Tapir?
Could it be that everything in front of me is still fake, and the real me is still in the Yuelai Inn, slowly falling with the Dragon Meteor Spear...
A creepy feeling crawled up his spine, and the food he put into his mouth became tasteless.
Chai Chai felt the slight delay in Li Ang's movements. She gently put down the bowl and held Li Ang's palm.
The body temperature was transmitted through the palm of his hand, and Li Ang looked at the other party in surprise.
Chai Chai said extremely seriously: "I met Aunt Song during the day and heard her say that Brother Song has been very depressed these days.
, locking himself in the room and not coming out.
There are also many travelers who have lost loved ones. Everyone has lost a lot in this change.
Although I don’t know what happened in the center of the battlefield, I believe that Master, you must have made great efforts to eliminate the Dream Tapir.
So, thank you for your hard work. "
Chai Chai's eyes were extremely clear, reflecting Li Ang's face.
Li Ang was stunned for a while, then smiled and released his palm, stretched out his fingertips to scrape two grains of rice from the corner of Chai Chai's mouth, "Why are you still like when you were a kid, eating all the food on your face?"
"hey-hey."
Chai Chai smiled innocently, and his legs, which had become slender as he grew older, swung back and forth under the long stool, kicking his skirt up and down.
Dongdong!
There was an untimely knock on the door, and a familiar voice came from outside the house, "Leon, are you at home?"
Just by hearing the voice, I knew it was the palace enshrined Shen Tuyu.
Li Ang quickly put down the bowl and walked to the door to greet him. He saw not only Shen Tuyu standing outside the house, but also Qi Ji, the deputy commander of the Zhenfu Division. He immediately asked in confusion: "What are you two?"
Shen Tuyu smiled and said: "The investigation results of this case are out, you can go home."
Li Ang was a little surprised, "So soon? I thought it would take another two or three days."
"Jin Wusuan explained everything very clearly, from how he got the news about the Dream Tapir from ancient books, to how he secretly funded a fleet to search for and hide the Dream Tapir's bronze box, to how he made a plan to retaliate against Lu Qingya. "
Qi Ji said calmly: "After testing, what he said was true, and a confession letter that had been prepared was also found in the Jin family's mansion. It doesn't seem to have much to do with other forces such as Zhou and Jing. "
"Then now he..."
"Died last night."
Qi Ji said calmly: "According to the doctor, he has been terminally ill for a long time, and he relies on his amazing will to force his body to survive."
"Is it."
Li Ang paused and sighed complicatedly. Using monsters to attack the Zhuxiao monks in your country is a first-rate felony.
After Jin Wusuan's death, his property will undoubtedly be confiscated, and his relatives and friends will be exiled where they should be, sentenced together where they should be sentenced, and sentenced where they should be sentenced.
"One more thing is the crazy things Jin Wusuan said before he died."
Shen Tuyu said: "You should know how to do it, right?"
The crazy words naturally refer to what Jin Wusuan claimed about the truth about the demonic disaster more than thirty years ago - the late emperor longed for the method of immortality, and some people enshrined in the Academy, Zhenfu Division and the Imperial Palace worked hard for it, in the barren mountains. The collection of heavenly materials and earthly treasures accidentally triggered a demonic disaster, resulting in the death and injury of hundreds of thousands of people in the Yu Kingdom, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in various countries.
"What words? I can't remember clearly."
Li Ang waved his palms in low spirits. The imperial power needed to maintain dignity, and the Zhenfusi, Xuegong, and Luli Academy needed to maintain dignity. Therefore, what Jin Wusuan said must be crazy talk, and it could only be crazy talk.
After sending away the two people who had received satisfactory answers and represented the will of Emperor Yu, Li Ang felt strong fatigue and boredom in his heart. He turned around and gave Chai Chai a forced smile, "Let's go home."
