"Mirror, palace, women."
He didn't expect the War God's Token to be so obvious. It directly told Yang Xuan where the eye of this illusory world was.
However, a new problem arose.
Yang Xuan sensed his current body. He was fifteen or sixteen years old and only knew a few basic martial arts. It was the old coroner who taught him to strengthen his body.
With his current status, how could he enter the palace and find the eye of the formation?
After searching through his memories, Yang Xuan found that the martial arts in this world were relatively weak. It was equivalent to the martial arts novels he had read in his previous life. The strongest martial arts master was only a martial arts master who could leap onto roofs and vault over walls. Facing an army of hundreds of people, they would still be defeated.
After the autopsy, Xu Dechang left with Yang Xuan. They naturally didn't need to worry about catching the murderer.
Xu Dechang had his own small courtyard in Shangyuan City. It was just the two of them.
Following this, Yang Xuan settled down.
A year passed in the blink of an eye. During this year, Yang Xuan thought of countless methods, but he still couldn't find a way to enter the palace. He could only delay it again and again.
During this year, he spent every day with Xu Dechang. Slowly, he felt that Xu Dechang was a living person of flesh and blood. He didn't seem like an illusory character.
He began to doubt the reality of this world.
If this was an illusory world, then it was too real.
On this day, after lunch, Yang Xuan greeted Xu Dechang and went out alone.
He wandered aimlessly by himself. At the same time, he was thinking about how to enter the palace.
The hint was obvious. The eye of the mirror in this world was in the palace. It was a mirror used by women. It wasn't difficult to find. At worst, he could just collect all the mirrors in the palace. He would find it sooner or later.
Therefore, for Yang Xuan, the most difficult thing was not how to find it, but how to enter the palace and openly collect all the mirrors used by women.
Perhaps the Emperor could do it.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly as he thought about it. At the same time, he was also convinced by the bad taste of that man in the legends.
When they passed by a teahouse, the owner of the teahouse happened to come out. When he saw Yang Xuan, his face changed and he spat on the ground. A thick spit almost landed on Yang Xuan's shoes.
"What bad luck! Bah! "He cursed as he turned back.
Yang Xuan didn't care at all.
Right now, he wasn't Demon God Bai Qi, nor was he Imperial Protector Yang Xuan. He was just a lowly coroner who dealt with corpses all day long. It wasn't strange for others to have such a reaction when they saw him.
After casually strolling around a few times, he was just about to return to the small courtyard when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him.
Then, a few people suddenly fell out of the front door of a house.
Yang Xuan saw that it was Zhang Ming and the other constables.
By the time Yang Xuan arrived, they had already climbed up from the ground. They looked fine, but their faces were so gloomy that water could drip from them.
"Brother Zhang, what's going on?" Yang Xuan asked.
Zhang Ming and the others turned around and saw Yang Xuan. They pulled Yang Xuan to the side and said, "Why are you here?"
Yang Xuan said, "I was just strolling around and happened to see you! Brother Zhang, what happened? "
Zhang Ming's face was gloomy. He first looked in that direction, then said in a low voice, "The case ten days ago was related to the son of the Minister of Justice, Bian Cheng. We went in to investigate, but we were chased out by the guards. They were simply lawless."
Yang Xuan was silent.
He knew that this case was very complicated and involved a lot of people. Zhang Ming and the others had no clue for a long time. In the end, it was the old coroner who came up with new clues based on his many years of experience. Only then did they see the light at the end of the tunnel.
However, in the end, it involved the son of the Minister of Justice. This was something he did not expect.
Moreover, the Minister of Justice was their superior. It was not strange for him to encounter such a situation.
After thinking for a while, Yang Xuan asked, "Then what should we do next?"
Zhang Ming said, "Of course we should investigate. Behind Bian Cheng is the Minister of Justice, but behind us is the law of the country. In terms of background, do you think we should be afraid of him?"
These words were spoken with a sense of righteousness. As he spoke, there was naturally a sense of righteousness. When he looked at the others, they all had a look of agreement.
Yang Xuan sighed inwardly. He admired them in his heart.
If a country was filled with people like them, it would be a long time before the country became prosperous.
Unfortunately, no matter which world it was, there would always be some people above the rules. This was an unchangeable fact.
After bidding farewell to the others, Yang Xuan returned to the small courtyard. His face was cold, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
There were seven or eight burly men standing in the courtyard. The one in the lead was a young man dressed in brocade. At this moment, he was holding a whip in his hand.
The old coroner, Xu Dechang, was tied to a crooked jujube tree in the courtyard. Whip marks covered his body, and blood flowed freely.
Seeing Yang Xuan enter, Xu Dechang used all his strength to shout, "Run!"
However, Yang Xuan did not run. Instead, he took a few steps forward and rushed to Xu Dechang's side.
"Master!" As he spoke, he wanted to untie the rope on Xu Dechang's body.
"Pa!"
The long braid struck, and Yang Xuan's thin clothes were torn apart. A deep wound appeared on his back.
Yang Xuan was in so much pain that he saw stars, but he did not make a sound.
Seeing this, Xu Dechang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He roared, "Come at me if you have any problems. He doesn't know anything."
The young man in brocade sneered, "Old thing, I heard that it was you who provided the clues that led the dogs to me. Is that right?"
As he spoke, he lashed out with the whip again, fiercely on Yang Xuan's back, adding another wound to Yang Xuan's body.
Xu Dechang roared, "I did it. It's me. It has nothing to do with him. Let him go."
The young man in brocade sneered, "Old thing, I knew it was you. What kind of person am I, Bian Cheng? You don't deserve to teach me how to do things. Let me tell you, today is just a lesson. If you dare to talk so much in the future, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."
After that, he mindlessly lashed out at Yang Xuan and Xu Dechang again. Only then did he leave with his men in satisfaction.
Severe pain hit Yang Xuan's whole body, and he could not help but tremble.
He had not felt such pain for a long time.
Without the powerful recovery effect of the wood spirit, he found that in terms of pain tolerance, he was not even as good as the old man in front of him.
At the very least, there was a smile on the old man's face.
He smiled at Yang Xuan, tears and blood flowing down his face. "Silly … child, didn't … didn't I let you run away?"
When the whip fell on his body, he did not cry. When he was humiliated, he did not cry. However, when he saw Yang Xuan's body covered in whip scars, he cried.
At this moment, Yang Xuan's heart trembled.
At this moment, Yang Xuan completely forgot that he was in an illusory world.
"I won't run!" Yang Xuan forced a smile and then untied the coroner's rope with trembling hands.
That night, the old coroner did not make it.
His injuries were too serious and he lost too much blood. In the end, he did not make it.
Before he died, he looked at Yang Xuan and said in a weak voice, "Little Yang, go. Don't come back."
After that, he slowly closed his eyes and left this world.
Until the end, he was still worried about the disciple he had picked up.
Yang Xuan did not move. He quietly looked at the coroner's corpse and stood there without saying a word.
After a long time, he suddenly laughed. It was an inexplicable laugh.
"Screw the rules. I don't care. If I fail, I fail. Old man, I will avenge you."
