If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 227 Case closed
Noon, Tianmen Town County Government Office.

"Last night I was envious of you, thinking about the next time we met, I don't know how many years it would be, by then you would have probably become a real 'fairy lady', I didn't expect the final outcome would be like this"

Yan Feiying looked at the huge deer head with complicated eyes, and couldn't help asking for the second time: "Is it really Immortal Master Chi Lingzi?"

He had asked this once before.

Or rather, this was his first question after the two of them officially met.

Xiaoyu’s answer at that time was: That’s him.

“Honestly, I wish it wasn’t, I wish the truth was another story.

For example, last night I was happily following Senior Chi Lingzi in flying on the clouds, when suddenly a deer demon jumped out and wanted to rob and harm people.

Senior Chi Lingzi fought with the demon for hundreds of rounds, but in the end Senior Chi Lingzi was slightly inferior and was eaten by the deer demon.

But the deer demon was also seriously injured, and I attacked him by surprise and chopped off his head with one sword. "

Xiao Yu glanced at him and asked, "Detective Yan, how about my story?"

Yan Feiying sighed, "Fortunately you didn't tell this story to anyone else. It's meaningless except deceiving yourself."

"Yes, let's not deceive ourselves and face reality." Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Yan Feiying frowned and said, “Actually, the current story isn’t that good.

In other words, you shouldn't let the public be part of the story.

Even if you bury the deer demon's body and come back to find me and County Magistrate Zhu—"

"What do you want from me?" Zhu Yitao said with a gloomy face, sitting on a chair at the entrance of the county government hall, seven or eight meters away from them. "The best story is the one that doesn't involve me."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Sir, don't make things too much for yourself! I sent the deer head to the government office not to ask you to try the case, but to ask you to transport this tribute to Luodu and hand it over to the king and Lord Dongfang Shuo."

When she was in Luojia Village, she did have the idea of ​​going to the government office to report the case, and she also announced publicly that she was going to seek help from the government.

Later, I thought about how capable Zhu Yitao was, but the cases of the ghost messenger Ge Qing and the heavenly soldier Ge Qing were still unresolved. Prefect Wen was not as responsible as Zhu Yitao, so it was a waste of time to go to him just for a "demon fairy"!
Anyway, she was going to send the deer head and antlers to Luodu, so there was no need to mess around in Yingxiang Mansion. It would be better to come back and deal with Zhu Yiji.

In ancient dynasties, if an auspicious sign was discovered within the territory, or if the people wanted to present treasures to the king, they would submit them through the government.

The task of delivering the deer head was indeed within Zhu Yitai's job scope.

Chi Lingzi's head is not a good omen, but it is a treasure.

Especially the pair of antlers, which are the most essential part of the monster's body.

The cut deer antlers are used to soak in wine, which has an effect similar to that of the "Dari Lingzao".

Xiaoyu couldn't drink it herself, nor could she eat venison - the villagers ate it with great relish, and it smelled good to her too, but when she tried taking a bite, it was even more disgusting than eating jujube meat.

As for the common people, she is a glass of Wahaha purified water, which is extremely pure; venison and Dayiling dates are industrial water with the smell of disinfectant; the common people are river water that is polluted by water sources.

Anyway, she had warned the villagers of Luojia Village that Chi Lingzi was an evil cultivator, and that although venison was delicious, it was grown by eating humans.

Lao Luo and his friends didn't care at all: "Don't the tigers and leopards we hunted in the mountains eat people? They eat people, so can't we eat them?"
Xiaoyu had no way of refutation.

After they ate the venison, she used her medical secrets to check their bodies and found nothing unusual about them, as they were in good health.

Yan Feiying said, "You don't have to give it to the king. What I want to say is that you should bury the deer monster quietly and come back to tell us what happened. You shouldn't make a big fuss about it."

Xiao Yu asked, "I was taken away by the 'immortal' last night. Was it a big sensation? Many people knew about it?"

Yan Feiying understood her subtext and said, "You don't need to explain anything to the common people. It's not a strange thing that you met the immortal last night and lost it this morning."

Xiao Yu was surprised and asked, "Since you don't care what the people think or say, what are you worried about now?"

Yan Feiying hesitated for a while and whispered, “In recent years, there have been frequent monster attacks in the Xisha region, but there are very few monster activities in Xishu.

This is a balance and also a tacit understanding.

Your loud propaganda about slaying demons and exorcising evil spirits may very well irritate some of the great demons and upset the already fragile balance."

Xiao Yu asked: "What was the basis for the balance in the past? It couldn't be public opinion, right?"

If public opinion were useful, would other Western countries still be frequently plagued by evil?

Yan Feiying pondered and said: "Luodu has a national protection artifact that can suppress evil spirits and prevent monsters from entering Shu.

But Shu is very large, and the artifact can only protect Luodu, but it cannot protect the vast territory of Western Shu."

——The national protection artifact is the Bagua Tianshi Talisman? Could it be that the treasure stolen by the thief last time was not the Tianshi Talisman?

Xiao Yu said, "Some time ago, the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint stole a treasure from Luodu."

Yan Feiying stared into her eyes and asked, "What did he steal? Where is the treasure?"

"How should I know?" Xiaoyu shook her head.

Although she killed the Thousand-Handed Thief, no equipment was dropped.

This is not surprising, as he has been stealing the "Treasure of Luodu" for several days.

Now I am going out to do something that may involve life or death (assassinating Qingsong Taoist Child), do I still need to carry the treasure with me?
It must have been sent out a long time ago.

Yan Feiying said calmly: "You are a smart person, you must understand that the current state of Xishu is the best state.

The best situation can only get worse no matter how it is changed.”

Xiao Yu said seriously: "I just didn't cover up the matter of the deer monster, and I didn't actively publicize it."

"You ride a horse and parade through the streets, beat gongs and sing your name, attracting the whole city's people to watch. Isn't that ostentatious?" Zhu Yitao sneered.

Xiao Yu complained, "You can go ask the old man who beat the gong yourself.

He is known as the 'Luojia Village Overlord Spear' and is a retired veteran of the Luye Guard. It is easy to find out about him.

You ask him, was it me who asked him to beat the gong, or was it he who insisted on giving me his own blue horse to ride, and insisted on taking his grandson to pull the deer head in a ox cart, and insisted on beating the gong and shouting some nonsense and unrhymed doggerel.

If I hadn't refused in every possible way, he would have invited the villagers of Luojia Village to play suona, beat gongs and drums, and set up a stage, making the entire city restless!"

She really didn't lie.

Parading on horseback and beating gongs and shouting slogans were all Lao Luo’s own ideas.

What Lao Luo shouted was also made up by him on the spot. Xiaoyu didn't teach him anything, let alone ask him to do so.

"What's that Ba Wang Qiang? Is he your acquaintance? You didn't even invite him to have lunch." Zhu Yitao asked.

"We are not acquaintances. We just met today. I asked him to wait for dinner together, and he must go back early to deal with the deer penis." Xiaoyu said.

"Since he is not an acquaintance, why is he in a hurry to go back? Why is he working so hard for you?" Zhu Yitao said.

——Because he wanted the deer penis, I didn't refuse, and generously let him cut off as much of the deer penis as he wanted, except for the deer head and antlers. The old man was so grateful that he insisted on doing something for me.

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Maybe he is born with a kind heart! After learning about my situation, he wanted to keep me safe by making me famous." Whether Lao Luo is kind-hearted or not remains to be discussed, but he worked hard to promote her for this purpose.

"What's your situation? Are there any other fairies who would seek revenge on you for this deer monster?" Zhu Yitao asked in surprise.

"Maybe."

Lao Luo took her on a horse to parade through the streets and made a lot of publicity, not to scare away the evil spirits outside the Yingxiang Mansion, but to target the "evil spirits" inside the Yingxiang Mansion.

But Xiaoyu wouldn't say this, and Lao Luo only hinted at it but didn't say it explicitly.

Yan Feiying's eyes flashed, and he said, "Last night, Chi Lingzi said that he has three brothers, two sisters, and a large group of nephews and disciples."

Zhu Yitao's face turned pale, "Are they all monsters?"

Yan Feiying looked at Xiaoyu.

"That's right, they are all evil heretics, vicious and cruel, doing all kinds of evil, and killing countless lives."

Xiao Yu turned to Zhu Yitao and said solemnly, "When you go to Luodu, you must explain everything to Lord Dongfang Shuo.

Chi Lingzi's evil cronies will come to Tianmen Town to find me sooner or later. But I am the Great Qin Supreme, representing the glory of the Great Qin, and I will never surrender to any evil~~ Let's go to the national crisis together, old Qin!"

"What does this have to do with 'national crisis'? And you're alone, how can you go with us? Uh, you're not suggesting that we should ask Imperial Envoy Dongfang Shuo to go with you to face the national crisis?" Zhu Yitao said with a twitching mouth.

Xiao Yu said seriously, "Yesterday morning, Chi Lingzi cut a giant date and distributed it to everyone. Did Lingjun know about this?"

Zhu Yitao shook his head and said, "I don't know Immortal Lao, and I didn't go to Yingxiang Mansion."

"Is there something wrong with the giant dates?" Yan Feiying asked in surprise.

"There is a big problem! He told me personally that the giant jujube was cultivated by extracting the essence, blood and souls of millions of living people using evil methods. It is called the 'Great Sun Spiritual Jujube', but it is actually a 'corpse-scented blood fetus'."

Xiao Yu stared at Yan Feiying, who had an ugly expression on his face, and said in an inexplicable tone: "Yesterday, what you ate was not spiritual fruit, but the flesh and blood of countless living people.

The jujube meat is just flesh in disguise, just like Chi Lingzi, a deer monster disguised as a human.

One mouthful of date flesh is equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of living people.

Being able to send a date means that he must have cultivated more than one blood date. Think about how many people the evil spirit on the bridge of the King of Hell's nose has killed. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? If this is not a "national disaster", what is it?"

Subjectively, Yan Feiying wanted to vomit, or at least dry heave a few times.

But all his memories and sensory perceptions of the giant dates were sweet, delicious and memorable.

Thinking back to the taste of the giant dates again, he couldn't even control his saliva.

This contradiction between his subjective thoughts and physical instincts made him feel more uncomfortable.

"Did you eat yesterday?"

Xiao Yu shook her head, "I took a bite and immediately spat it out. Chi Lingzi noticed my abnormality and deliberately accepted me as a fairy boy."

"He's a demon and an immortal. How did you kill him?" Zhu Yitai looked her up and down in amazement. "You didn't even get hurt."

"Didn't you hear Lao Luo beating the gong and singing a poem?" Xiao Yu asked back.

Although the doggerel of "Old Overlord Spear" is poorly written, it succinctly describes the cause, process and result of "Yu Fengxian slaying the demon".

This is also the reason why Xiaoyu was so embarrassed that she clenched her toes into the stirrups, but finally acquiesced to his loud shouting.

"The deer demon grinned and opened his mouth to bite, but luckily the sword shone coldly - I heard this sentence, but I didn't quite understand it.

After the deer monster flies into the sky, it reveals its true form and wants to bite you to death. What's lucky?
You killed it with one sword? How did you kill it? It was a demon fairy!" Zhu Yitao said.

Xiao Yu patted the sword at his waist and said with a smile: "'Qiao Shi Sword' is it, it is a magic sword."

"Demon God, draw your sword!" It was clearly the "Lord God" who was wielding the sword, but she shouted loudly.

"clang~~" The Qiao Shi sword automatically popped out of its scabbard and turned into a three-meter-tall black fish monster.

"Oh my God, it's a fairy!" Zhu Yitao was almost frightened to death.

"return!"

Retracting the iron sword, Xiao Yu laughed and said, "See? This is the fairy treasure from the myth."

While she was talking to Zhu Yitao, she was secretly observing Yan Feiying's expression out of the corner of her eye.

There is no point and no sense of accomplishment in pretending to be cool in front of a mortal like Zhu Yitao.

The key is to give a reason that convinces Yan Feiying.

Yan Feiying was convinced, and no one in the world could find fault with him.

Yan Feiying had a look of doubt on his face, but he did not question or ask.

He couldn't question it.

Although the deer demon's body was divided up by the villagers, its head was preserved.

The deer's head was covered with sword wounds.

Especially on the forehead, there was an obvious sword mark - the mark left by the Black Fish Demon God's headbutt.

But the wound under the sword mark is very strange.

Although he was stabbed by a sword, the effect displayed was not piercing damage, but blunt force damage from a hammer.

There were obvious cracks on the skull.

But Yan Feiying dared to bet all the glory of "the first detective" on the fact that this wound was definitely not a hammer mark disguised as a sword mark.

It was cut out by the Qiao Shi sword.

All I can say is that Yu Fengxian's swordsmanship is superb, and he can use the sword to create a hammering effect.

In fact, Yan Feiying wanted to see the injuries on other parts of the deer monster's body.

Because although the sword mark on the deer's head was extremely sharp, it was not a fatal wound.

Unfortunately, the deer demon's body has been divided up by the villagers. I don't know if she did it on purpose.

Although Yan Feiying said there was no need to send deer antlers to the king of Shu, Xiaoyu still insisted that Zhu Yitao send a deer antler to the Shu palace.

Deer antlers are useless to her, but they are a great tonic for mortals and can be considered a treasure.

Whether the King of Shu wanted it or not was his business, but she presented treasures to Dongfang Shuo but did not give them to the King of Shu, which was impolite of her.

In addition to the deer horns, Xiaoyu also wrote two statements with the help of Zhu Yitao.

Then she came to Honnōji Temple.
