Tang Yirao's extremely yin body is indeed easy to cause a lot of trouble. Regarding things like monsters and ghosts, he has been exposed to them since he was a child, otherwise he would not have a Taoist nun around.
Jiuji's words sounded fine.
Coincidentally, as soon as Jiuji finished speaking, news came from Fuyuan that the witness Li Ling was awake.
*
Li Ling woke up and had no idea why she was here, but when Zhong Heqing asked her about Mr. Du, her face instantly turned pale, and she spoke with clenched teeth as she told her what she had seen at that time.
What she said was exactly the same as what Jiu Ji said.
At that time, Mr. Du fell down covered in blood, and lying on his body was an "inhuman" thing. According to the description of the two people, this thing had long snouts and fangs.
Although it is half human and half animal, Sun Yuanjing immediately said, "This is a wolf demon or a dog demon!"
In other words, the monsters are probably wolf monsters or dog monsters living in Tokyo Yaobang.
Sun Yuanjing added.
"There are quite a lot of wolf and dog monsters in the Tokyo Demon Shop, especially the wolf tribe's status in the demon world. The bear spirit boss looks like a villain, which shows that he is the demon who sheltered the wolf tribe's crimes. Now that we have the testimony, we Now go to the Demon Shop to get the demon!"
Because of Tongmeng, Jiuji also followed.
She heard what Taoist Sun said now and thought to herself, Taoist Sun is quite knowledgeable about the high and low of the demon world.
The Wolf Clan, like the Deer Clan, Crane Clan, Tiger Clan, etc., are nobles with real power in the demon world.
However, if it is really the work of the wolf clan, this monster may not be easy to catch.
When she thought about it, she heard Zhong Heqing also ask.
"If the master of Xiong Jingfang knows our intention to come, informs us in advance, and acts as a cover-up, what will we do?"
These words stopped Sun Yuanjing immediately.
But Jiuji thought of something.
"Well, maybe there is a way to try."
She wasn't sure whether to talk about it or not. After all, Zhong Shaoqing was very strict. He had previously disliked her for being illiterate and wouldn't let her go to his study.
But after she tried to say this, she saw him turning his head and looking over, his eyes gentle and patient, and his voice rare and gentle.
"you say."
Jiuji: "..."
Don't you dislike her for being illiterate?
However, Jiu Ji is not a grudge-bearing person, and the current matter is of great use to her.
She said, "The yamen all have a directory, so the demon shop should also have one, right? In my opinion, it's better to get the directory of the people from the demon shop owner first. With the directory in hand, we can arrest people." I’m not afraid that the boss will temporarily protect you.”
directory, directory.
After Jiuji finished speaking, she blinked and asked Zhong Heqing.
"Is this okay?"
When she talked about her method, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and the little lights in her eyes condensed together and shone brightly.
Zhong Heqing couldn't help but take another look.
She was very smart and grasped the key immediately.
Especially at the moment, Dali Temple seems to be making no progress. It is also the time for outsiders to relax and take down the list first, so as not to worry about the owner of the temple causing trouble later.
"It's indeed a good plan." He said warmly.
Sun Yuanjing also thought this method was good, so he called Zhong Heqing, "The Yang Qi is strong at noon, and the demonic aura in the Yaofang is much lighter. If not, Shaoqing, go to the Yaofang now, and catch the black bear spirit by surprise."

In a lush locust tree in the mountains, a little bird fluttered its wings and was about to land on the old locust tree.
However, before it could even stand up, the locust tree branches began to sway, like impatient arms, waving the branches to drive the birds away.
The bird chirped a few times and had no choice but to fly into the nearby tree.
Under the old locust tree, there were no more birds or insects, only two "people" standing under the tree.
One of them just ran over, his skirt had not yet settled, he was breathing slightly and looked nervous.
She hurriedly pushed the person waiting for her behind Longhuai's thick branch. Longhuai bent the branch to block the sound of the two people.
"Why did you run out? Although there are not many people here, there are always people passing by!" The girl was extremely anxious.
The boy opposite smiled and held her hand.
"I've been bored at home for several days. I dreamed of you at noon. I figured you would come to the locust grove to get some locust flowers for food today, so I came to see you."
He said it was okay, "No one paid attention to me." As he said that, he looked at the girl up and down, "How have you been these past two days?"
The girl had no intention of saying this to him. She looked around a few times and saw that the old locust tree had knitted the branches and leaves covering the two of them more densely. The girl lowered her voice.
"At noon, the owner of the workshop told me that the mortal young minister of Dali Temple has come to the demon workshop again. This time he wants the directory in the workshop. It can be seen that they are keeping an eye on the demon workshop. You are running around at this time. , what’s the point of being discovered?”
When the young man heard this, instead of panicking, he started laughing.
"Then if Young Master had any evidence against me, he would have been arrested at my doorstep a long time ago. Why did he come to the demon shop two or three times, but I was fine? Uncle Xiong also sent me a message, saying that those mortals had not made any progress. , let me not be too nervous."
"That's what you say, but someone actually saw him that night. If that person woke up, why couldn't he identify him?"
The young man snorted.
"The woman was so frightened that she fainted. I can't think of waking up. Even if she wakes up, she can only be said to look like a wolf and dog demon. There are more than a hundred wolf and dog demons in the Tokyo Demon Shop. No matter how powerful the Dali Temple Shaoqing is, , can you still pull me out of the Hundred Monsters?"
He was so confident that the girl was a little skeptical.
"Is it true that nothing will happen?"
He squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

The sun gradually sets in the mountains, and the room becomes dark, but the writing on the paper as thin as cicada wings is clear and shiny.
Not to mention Zhong Heqing, a mortal, even Sun Yuanjing, a demon-hunting cultivator, has never seen such a rare thing.
He stared at the handwriting that changed like fireflies for a long time, and said to Zhong Heqing.
"It is indeed a directory of the demon world. You can clearly see whether the demon is in the shop and whether he has come back."
As he was speaking, several names changed from black to gray, or from gray to black. On many subsequent pages, names appeared out of thin air in white characters with black outlines. Some quickly disappeared into the page.
All demons on the list are resident demons who have lived in the demon house for more than half a year.
The black letters represent the demons registered in the Tokyo Demon House who are in the Demon Bureau. The gray ones mean that they have temporarily left the Demon Bureau. The names of demons that appear and disappear out of thin air are from outside the Demon Bureau's register. Demon. When they enter the demon farm, their names will appear on the demon farm's directory, and they will disappear when they leave.
Sun Yuanjing was surprised and guessed that it was the magical function of the archway.
Zhong Heqing has never seen such a list, but there is such a list in the mortal world, and there are many chaotic and unsolvable cases that can be redressed.
Zhong Heqing looked at the thick directory and was stunned for a while.
Stargazing came to announce, "Mr. Sir, the lady is here."
Zhong Heqing turned around and saw the person standing in the courtyard at a glance.
She tilted her head and looked over, asking softly.
"Did you get the directory of the demon shop?"
She was wearing a light yellow dress, and the light color made the injuries on her face a little obvious. She didn't care too much, and she replied when he nodded.
"It's best to keep the roster for a few days. Having the roster in hand can be considered a deterrent to the boss."
She said, looking at the roster involuntarily.
Zhong Heqing simply took the strange and ever-changing list of monsters in his hand and motioned her to come into the study.
"It's a completely different list from the yamen in the mortal world."
Jiu Ji got the chance and walked in immediately.
When she saw the thick directory, she couldn't help but sigh.
That day she went to find someone, but the black bear spirit refused to give it to her, so she was rejected.
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, the roster was still in her hands.
Although this directory of demon houses is rare, it is similar to the one in the mountains of the raccoon tribe. Jiuji is not too surprised. On the contrary, the search for a name has attracted her attention.
She couldn't read a few words, but before coming, the prime minister personally wrote her the word "Li Umbrella".
As long as you know these two words and read page after page, you won't be afraid of not finding them.
As long as Li San is found, stealing the Weasel Jade is probably not far away.
By stealing the Weasel Jade, she can leave this place and return to the Tanuki Clan Monster Mountain.
Jiuji became interested.
Seeing that she was so interested, Zhong Heqing simply put the roster on the table for her to look at.
She read each page carefully.
But Sun Yuanjing asked again.
"Shaoqing has obtained the list. How are you going to catch the monster later? I heard that several people have seen the strange-looking student next to Mr. Du. Can these people find this monster?"
He said that there were hundreds of wolf monsters and dog monsters in the book, "I find it quite difficult to identify them among more than a hundred monsters."
Moreover, the few students who had met unfamiliar faces had only met once or twice.
Sun Yuanjing asked an important question.
Zhong Heqing was not anxious because of this, but said, "We will take a look after the Xiongfang Master calls all the wolf monsters and dog monsters back to the workshop."
When he said this, Sun Yuanjing still found it difficult and said melancholy.
"There are not many mortals who are as courageous as Shaoqing. Ordinary people would probably be frightened when they see a demon. Let alone recognize faces among more than a hundred demons, it is hard to say whether they will be able to speak normally... . …”
Sun Yuanjing pinched his eyebrows and said, "This is another difficulty. I am really worried. Shaoqing, do you have any clever ideas? Er, Shaoqing...?"
He said a lot but got no response. He looked up and saw Zhong Shaoqing's eyes quietly falling on the woman who was flipping through the directory beside the desk for an unknown amount of time.
She didn't hear Daochang Sun's words. The man only saw the bright words in the name book reflected on her face. She was so focused on it that she didn't even notice a strand of hair falling on her temples.
It just so happened that the setting sun also shone in from the window, coating the side of her face with a layer of crimson gold.
I wonder if it was this layer of golden light that made her look slightly different from her usual appearance. Her brows were more free and gentle, and the bridge of her nose seemed to be more straight and straight.
The crimson color of the setting sun dyes the cheeks, making people look like they are in a painting.
"Shaoqing? Shaoqing?"
Zhong Heqing finally came to his senses and looked away.
"What did the Taoist priest say?"
Sun Yuanjing: "..."
Shouldn't Pindao be in the house, but on the roof?
