Zhan Zhao and the others entered the palace and told them about the plan to lure the snake out of the hole, Zhao Zhen thought about it, and looked at everyone with his arms crossed, as if he was a little embarrassed.
Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen, thinking that it would be troublesome for him, but if someone really found the Ten Thousand Curse Palace, it would also endanger his country.
Zhao Zhen stood up, walked around twice, and said, "Well, I can cooperate, but there is a condition."
Everyone wondered about the conditions Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand, rubbed his chest, and said, "My palace gives you the freedom to enter and leave with sauce, and I always feel uncomfortable here." ” Looking at Zhao Zhen's heart-stoppled appearance, everyone couldn't help but think, just let Gongsun show you "So I want to make amends," Zhao Zhen said seriously.
"What compensation" everyone is curious.
Zhao Zhen put his hands behind his back and said, "When the cat appreciation conference, in addition to comparing the appearance of the cat, there is also a cat training competition to see whose cat is obedient."
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and they said that they had heard of training dogs and birds, but they had never heard of training cats Zhao Zhen stretched out his finger and pointed to the five cats who were licking their fur not far away on a soft couch.
The people followed the direction of his finger, and saw that the five cats were all quite fat, one pure black, and two green eyes; one with long white hair, two mandarin ducks with blue and green eyes; a small gray chubby cat, round with two golden eyes; One is tiger striped, huge like a small tiger, and another is three-flowered, round, with ears lying on his stomach.
Everyone looked at the five cats in excellent condition and looked back at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Pu asked, "These are the ones that were sent to the competition."
"Hmm."
Zhao Zhen nodded.
Bai Yutang looked at it, "It's very good-looking, it shouldn't lose." ” "You can't lose if you look at your appearance, but the level of obedience is" Zhao Zhen squatted down and said to those cats. ” The five cats licked their fur by themselves, three of them ignored Zhao Zhen, and two of them glanced at this side with their eyelids drooping, with some kind of contempt in their eyes, looking at Zhao Zhen.
Everyone gasped and was so arrogant Zhao Zhen looked depressed, pursed his lips with his hands behind his back, and wanted to cure them of the crime of bullying the king without taking me seriously Zhan Zhao was helpless, "Your Majesty, cats are like this, if you call it and it ignores you, if you don't call it, it will come over." ” Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhanzhao, "Is that so, why don't you try Zhan Guard?"
Zhan Zhao blinked, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he inexplicably had a bad premonition.
Gongsun was also very curious, and asked Zhanzhao, "You try it" Zhanzhao had no choice but to stretch out a finger and "tsk" to those fat cats Zhan Zhao just hooked his fingers, and the five cats all got up, ran to his side, and rubbed their legs around "Meow Meow".
Zhan Zhao supports.
Bai Yutang reached out and grabbed the gray little fat cat and looked at it, thinking that it was very cute, the fat four feet were thick and short, and the meat claws were still pink.
The fifth master pinched one of its front paws and pressed it, and found that it was soft and elastic, and he was inexplicably in a good mood.
The little fourth son also went to pick up the fat Sanhua and looked at its dangling Peng Song's big tail.
"Really so obedient," Lin Yehuo asked Zhanzhao curiously, "Let them sit down and try." ” "Okay, no," Zhao Pu also felt incredible, "It's not a dog." ” Lin Yehuo pointed to the ground to the mute beside him, "Sit down." ” The mute sat down and wagged his tail at the night fire.
"Of course the dog is very obedient."
Zhao Zhen hooked his fingers at the dumb man, and the dumb man looked at the night fire.
Lin Yehuo nodded at it, and the dumb man walked to Zhao Zhen and sat down.
Zhao Zhen stared at the mute, "Stand up." ” The dumb man stood up.
"Get down."
Zhao Zhen continued.
The dumb man lay down, and looked at Zhao Zhen puzzled, what do you mean Zhao Zhen squatted down and stretched out his hand.
The mute stretched out a front paw and placed it in his hand.
Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and stared at the mute for a long time, and suddenly held the mute's face with both hands, "Just obey your words like this, this is the correct attitude towards me."
Nangong and the others were a little speechless, Zhao Zhen had been despised by those cats for a day today, and he was probably depressed.
This morning he also said that the cat deserved not to enter the zodiac or something, not to mention that the emperor's heart is quite small.
Zhao Zhen let go of the mute, looked back and saw the black cat that was spinning Zhanzhao's legs and flicking Zhanzhao with his tail, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, "Sit down" The black cat glanced at Zhao Zhen, and that look seemed to say who this stupid lack was The mute leaned over and sniffed the black meow, and the black cat suddenly slapped it with one paw, and the mute quickly took two steps back and sat down and wagged its tail at it.
Zhan Zhao pointed to the side and saw that the cats had all gone over and sat down, quite well-behaved.
Zhanzhao didn't even open his mouth before they understood the meaning, and it was not that they didn't understand, but it was just to see if they wanted to take care of you.
Zhao Zhen grinded his teeth and deceived the king Everyone also felt fresh when they looked at it.
The little fourth son tried it, but the cats didn't give face, they only listened to Zhanzhao.
Zhao Zhen patted Zhanzhao, "Then the Zhan guards will also fight on the day of the game."
Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Zhen speechlessly, and on the side, Gonggong Chen reminded and said, "Your Majesty, it was Zhan's guards who led the cats to fight, not Zhan's guards." ” Zhao Zhen waved his hand, don't care about the details "Your Majesty."
Nangong Ji asked, "The matter of the case" "What case" Zhao Zhen blinked.
"Uh, use the treasury to catch people and pretend to offer the Kowloon Roulette" Nangong didn't finish speaking, Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his face, "Well, you can do it."
With that, Yoyo Dada left.
Everyone behind him couldn't help but admire, this daring emperor only thought about the cat racing conference Zhao Zhen passed this level, so everyone began to arrange, and there was not much time to leave the birthday banquet.
Officials at all levels in the imperial city began to be busy with birthday banquets and celebrations, and Kaifeng City was also lively, and the major restaurants and inns were basically full.
Zhanzhao and the others were waiting for the birthday banquet to start on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were very concerned about the letter given by the Silver Demon King.

There is also a way to go to the Ten Thousand Mantra Palace, and this method, only the little fourth son knows, how to think and feel dangerous.
Since the little fourth son was almost stolen before, Gongsun has been hugging his son all day long these days and not letting go, Xiao Liangzi didn't even hold the hand of the little fourth son, and originally wanted to go back to Kaifeng to watch the play and listen to the music and eat together, this time it's good, Gongsun is like hatching eggs all day long, hugging his son.
Zhao Pu stared at this big and small one when he had time, and if he really had something, he asked Ouyang, Long Qiaoguang and Zou Liang to take shifts, plus more than a dozen shadow guards, and surrounded the little four.
In fact, the most unhappy thing is the little fourth son, who used to have a good time and was free, but now he has no fun anymore, and he is watched all day long.
Zhan Zhao carefully interrogated the people of the Waste Fish Clan.
They weren't the same as the black-clothed people who attacked them earlier, and those black-clothed people were from the Western Regions, but they didn't have anything to do with Huangshi Yupu.
After Zhan Zhao walked around the courtyard a few times, he pulled Bai Yutang and went out.
Out of Kaifeng Mansion, I met the four old immortals who came out of Taibaiju.
After sending the letter, he was not in a hurry to leave, and Master Wusha had just arrived, so the four old men came to eat together.
After encountering, Yin Hou asked Zhanzhao where he went.
Zhan Zhao said that he wanted to go to Huangshi Yupu to meet Cui Miao.
Yin Hou nodded.
Tianzun also said, "When I was eating just now, the old ghost also said that he wanted to meet Cui Miao. ” Zhan Zhao asked Yin Hou, "Grandpa, did you think of something?"
Yin Hou said, "Now that I think about it, if the secret was hidden by Cui Hai back then, then his family may have something to do with this secret." ” Tianzun also nodded, "Although Cui Miao kept saying that the people in the rivers and lakes who killed her whole family back then were all punished by God, but the people in the rivers and lakes may have just been provoked or instructed by others. ” Bai Yutang thought for a while, "The person who knows this secret must be Li Yu's cronies back then, or Cui Hai's friends." ” "In those years, there were many powerful vassal kings, and the high-ranking and powerful betrayed Li Yu to protect themselves, and many of them became what they now call meritorious ministers," and most of their descendants inherited the title, that is, " Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded and now live in the pavilion, one of the many suspects who have something to do with the deaths of several palace maids.
"Hmm."
Master Wusha also agreed, "That person may be the murderer we are looking for, and at the same time, he is also the biggest enemy of the Cui family." ” "Cui Miao can let go of those Jianghu people who were instigated to kill her family, and she can also forgive those fish and their relatives who slipped through the net with the reason that it is time to repay the wrongs, but no matter what."
Zhan Zhao shook his head, "She shouldn't be able to spare that person behind the scenes."
"It's a little weird."
Bai Yutang said, "If there is a secret hidden in the fishtail jade, then why did the Cui family still sell the fishtail ring of the red jade?"
Tianzun and Yin Hou both nodded, it was indeed very strange, the key to all this could only be asked by the Cui family.
Everyone walked to the gate of the Huangshi Jade Shop together.
The jade shop is still open as usual, and there is still no business, and Ayi is rubbing a jade carved Bodhisattva behind the counter.
Zhan Zhao and others entered the door.
Ayi raised his head, blinked, and asked, "Buying jade or investigating the case or leaving something behind?"
Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed and said, "We want to see Old Madam Cui." ” Ayi nodded and knocked on the door panel behind him, "Auntie." ” After a while, the young woman who had taken Tianzun to see the jade walked out and saluted everyone, while inviting inside, "Godmother has been waiting for you for a long time." ” This was unexpected.
When I came to the backyard of the jade shop, I saw Cui Miao sitting under the purple nanmu, two little girls beside him teasing the cat and looking at the past, the old woman in the courtyard and the doll teasing the cat, a beautiful picture.
Cui Miao looked up and saw everyone, so she patted the two girls, and the two girls ran to bring refreshments and greet the guests.
Zhan Zhao and the others sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and slipped to the side to admire a rare orchid.
He was originally from the southwest, and he had not seen this rare hometown flower for many years, so he inexplicably had an illusion that he was in a different world.
Cui Miao looked at Yin Hou and the others and smiled, "A few old immortals are doing well."
Yin Hou Tianzun and Master Wusha both raised their eyebrows, indicating that it was not bad.
But he pouted dissatisfiedly, muttering who wants to live so long, annoying Cui Miao asked Zhanzhao, "Did you take the things that Yaoqin hid from the Zinan tree that day?"
Zhan Zhao didn't hide it either, and nodded.
"What is it" Cui Miao was still quite curious, and at the same time admired, "You two are young, but you are really capable, it has only been a few days, and we have found more things than we have found in the past few decades." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, don't you have the little immortal Xiao Sizi by your side.
"It's a sheet music."
Zhan Zhao Road.
"Oh" Cui Miao nodded and said to herself, "It turned out to be a piano score." ” "The old man knows Yaoqin," Zhan Zhao asked.
Cui Miao smiled and said, "Yaoqin is just a stage name, her real name is Cui Yao." ” Everyone was stunned.
"She is also a descendant of the Cui family," Bai Yutang asked.
"Hmm."
Cui Miao nodded and looked around, "This small courtyard is the ancestral property of my Cui family, my Cui family doesn't have much, it's just a lot of money, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if our family is dead, most of the family property has been robbed, but when I look back and pick up the leaks, it is still much more than ordinary people." ” Zhan Zhao felt that the old man's words were a little desolate, and he thought about it, the Cui family had a big business back then, and it withered overnight, and for the future generations who experienced this kind of gap, they did experience the suffering that ordinary people could not understand.
"You don't know what Cui Yao is hiding in the Zinan Tree," Bai Yutang asked.
Cui Miao shook her head, "This is exactly what we were looking for." ” Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Cui Miao simply put down the cup, lowered her voice a little, and said with a serious expression, "A few people in the Ten Thousand Spell Palace are not strangers." ” Yin Hou and Tianzun both narrowed their eyes.
Cui Miao smiled, "When I was very young, my grandfather often held me and chanted these three words, every time he talked about the Ten Thousand Spell Palace, he would be full of energy, saying that it was the last hope At that time, I felt that that place must be a fairyland-like existence." ” When Cui Miao said this, he heard Yao Changtian couldn't help but let out a "poof", and the expression on his face was a little funny.
Yin Hou and Tianzun also thought it was ridiculous, and the Ten Thousand Curse Palace was like a fairyland, what a great irony "When I grow up, I will know that anything that has anything to do with those three words will not end well" Cui Miao said, "Back then, the catastrophe of the Lost Soul Valley was not as simple as making money, those people in the rivers and lakes were just being used, and the real reason was that someone wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Curse Palace." ” "Who is it?"

asked Zhan Zhao.
Cui Miao shook her head, "I don't know, this is also what we came this time to investigate, Yaoqin entered the palace because of this incident, but it's a pity that she was killed by someone with a clever plan, and I only found out about her after investigation." ” "Do you want to find out who was behind the scenes?"
Zhan Zhao asked.
"It's a lie to say that I don't care at all, but what I want to do more is to destroy the way to go to the Ten Thousand Curse Palace" The old lady's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at the two little girls who were playing in the distance, "I just want my descendants of the Cui family to grow up peacefully." ” "The secret of going to the Ten Thousand Spell Palace is hidden in your Cui family's jade," Zhan Zhao asked.
Cui Miao sighed, "That's the most troublesome problem, I don't know where it is."
"You don't know," the crowd was surprised.
"Isn't it in the jade with the fishtail pattern?"
asked Tianzun.
Cui Miao shook his head lightly and said, "Do you know where the jade with the fishtail pattern comes from?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"The third generation of my Cui family, basically all of them are born daughters," Cui Miao said, "Grandpa dotes on his granddaughter very much, so he made several sets of jade printed with the pattern of fishtail, which is for us to make dowry, there are white jade, jasper, red jade, topaz, ice jade, black jade, all kinds of kinds, the number is close to five hundred, in addition to jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, etc., as well as wine glasses, teapots, pillows, and even stools are with fishtail patterns." ” Tianzun was surprised, "So many" Yin Hou also felt that Cui Hai's behavior was a little abnormal, just because he felt very reluctant because he loved his granddaughter.
"My grandfather lived in seclusion after the fall of the Li Yu Dynasty, and the jade with the fishtail crossing pattern is the last series of works he made."
Cui Miao said, "He was almost enchanted, hanging the pattern of the fish tail crossing in the study, and looked at it in a daze every day."
It wasn't until he was attacked by those Jianghu people that he was seriously injured, and finally tore off the pattern and held it tightly in his hand.
When he was confused, he grabbed the pattern and said that the treasure was in the fishtail, and then he died.
This is probably the reason why later generations think that the method of going to the Ten Thousand Curse Palace is hidden in the fishtail jade. ” Zhan Zhao and the others all nodded, it turned out that this was the case.
"Pattern" Bai Yutang asked, "What kind of picture is it?"
Cui Miao smiled and said, "It's the one hanging in the lobby of the Manji sugar shop."
"Sure" Yin Hou was surprised.
Cui Miao nodded, "There is one thing you definitely don't know about Manji and Xu Ji back then. ” "What" Everyone was curious, this seemingly unrelated group of people was actually related to each other.
"The founders of Man Kee and Xu Kee, when they were young, they were the chefs of my family, and they specialized in making pastries."
Cui Miao smiled slightly, "That skill is much better than that of the imperial kitchen." ” Zhan Zhao was surprised, and glanced at Bai Yutang by the way, which means that you see, there are only two masters who make cakes, and you are not extravagant and wasteful at all Bai Yutang was also a little crying and laughing.
"If the pattern of the fishtail ferry attracted the disaster of killing, why did Man Ji hang this painting facing the gate" Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled, "and it has been peaceful for so many years, and the business is getting bigger and bigger" "There should be some reason."
Cui Miao smiled faintly, "You know, there is no difference between Xu Ji and Manji, if Xu Ji is blamed, then you can blame Xu Ji or blame Manji, if you choose Manji back then, then Manji is copied, that is, Manji, and Xu Ji of the year has become today's Manji, and there should be a reason for choosing to destroy Xu Ji and keep Manji." ” "What is the reason?"
everyone said in unison.
Cui Miao nodded again, "I don't know." ” The people were discouraged, and they didn't know Cui Miao looked at Zhanzhao and them, "I also said, what I have found in the past ten years is not as much as what you have found in a few days, and I think it is more secure to hand it over to you to continue the investigation after that." ” Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Yutang This old lady is too cunning, believe it or not Bai Yutang felt that Cui Miao didn't have any need to lie to them, and at the same time Bai Yutang asked, "Who is the man in black who has been secretly monitoring your jade shop?"
Cui Miao said indifferently, "What appeared a while ago is probably after the hidden corpse in the palace was discovered, and we didn't startle the snakes, they like to stalk, so let them stare at it."
Aren't the shadow guards of your Nine Princes also secretly staring, everyone is staring at each other, and no one dares to act rashly, which is good. ” Coming out of the Huangshi jade shop, Yao Changtian walked to the military camp to find Zhao Pu, Master Wusha went to Nan'an Temple, Yin Hou and Tianzun flashed and didn't know where to go.
Zhanzhao and Hakuyudo walked back side by side.
Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Cat." ” Zhan Zhao looked at him.
"Are you curious about the Ten Thousand Spell Palace?"
asked Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "It's a lie to say that you're not curious." ” Bai Yutang nodded slightly.
Zhan Zhao asked, "Yutang, if you were given a chance to go to the Ten Thousand Spell Palace, what would you do?"
Bai Yutang didn't think about it, and said, "Get the demon king back for my master." ” Zhanzhao smiled, "yes" "What about you," Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao.
"It's right to find the Demon King back."
Zhan Zhao said, "I also want to get my grandmother back." ” Bai Yutang nodded, "It's good that my grandmother can come back." ” "If you really want to bring people back to life, there should be a lot of people, and we want to resurrect them," Zhan Zhao said.
Bai Yutang was a little helpless, "It's a pity that it's impossible not to say that you can't come back, if you really change back" Zhan Zhao nodded, "That's the chaos in the world." ” "The Demon King did something in the Ten Thousand Curses Palace back then, right?"
Zhan Zhao asked, "It seems that he did the same thing, which led to the birth of our mother at the same time." ” Bai Yutang nodded, "As a result, the retribution of the demon king is to be punished by heaven."
"In other words, if the demon king is not dead, the consequence is that the two of us should not be able to meet, right" Zhanzhao asked, "For example, you were already forty or fifty when I was in my twenties, or you were forty or fifty and I was just born."
Bai Yutang wanted to laugh a little, "Why am I forty or fifty?"
Zhan Zhao's arm touched him, "Then guess let Tianzun pick one between you and the demon king, who will he pick?"
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao speechlessly, "Then let your grandfather choose between you and your grandmother."
"That's right," Zhan Zhao nodded, "Some things are arranged by fate, and maybe they don't have much to do with the Ten Thousand Spell Palace." ” As Zhan Zhao was speaking, Bai Yutang suddenly tugged at him, "Cat." ” "Hmm," Zhanzhao looked at Bai Yutang.
I saw the fifth master pointing forward, "Something is going to happen." ” Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of Bai Yutang's finger and gasped, "Oops":
