Chapter Eleven

The peach wood sword stained with blood pierced the wriggling body of the Buhuan corpse, and the Buhuan corpse, which expanded into a giant, suddenly stopped, and with a sensation, it dissipated into a pile of fishy mud, splashed at Mei Zhuyu's feet.

The mottled ground and walls of the dark alley were all covered with the mud left after the corpse was completely dead, but the only piece under Mei Zhuyu's feet was clean.

With a light sound, a drop of bright red marks dripped on the ground beside Mei Zhuyu. He raised his hand to look at the wound in his palm, put away the peach wood sword with his backhand, and turned around and left the dark alley.

Since the body has not been dissolved, he should go back. Perhaps soon, someone will come to investigate. Mei Zhuyu does not want to run into them.

After a year in Chang'an, Mei Zhuyu has been low-key and no different from ordinary people. This is the first time he has taken action in this city. As a Taoist sect, he can be considered as stepping on the world of monsters. Mei Zhuyu naturally knows that there is a demon market in Chang'an City, where two guardians are enshrined.

The two governors led all the aliens here, so it was their duty to deal with evil corpses and ghosts like this. Mei Zhuyu shouldn't have taken action easily, but...

He lowered his head and wrapped his wound in his hand, remembering the Buhua Bone who had fallen to somewhere. He saw his cousin holding the ominous object, so as to avoid his murder, he took Buhua Bone over. On him, the thing naturally could not harm anyone. But last night, Buhua Bone was somehow lost. Because of Wu Zhen, he was ups and downs last night and copied the quiet scriptures in the room all night. But in the morning, he found that Buhua Bone on his waist was gone. He couldn't find it everywhere in the house, so he was worried that Wu Zhen would pick it up.

If that is the case, what if she is taught to encounter danger? No matter how outstanding she is, she is still an ordinary person. It is still dangerous to encounter something like not dissolving a corpse.

Worried, he was restless all day long, and he was not good at asking Wu Zhen about this matter. In order to avoid her real picking up the boneless bones and encountering danger, Mei Zhuyu could only choose to find the hidden bodyless body, kill it, and solve the problem from the root. If the bodyless body is dead, those boneless bones will soon turn into gravel. In this way, no matter whether the boneless bones are picked up by Wu Zhen, it doesn't matter.

In the Yanlou, Wu Zhen was talking to the snake male Liu Taizhen about the unresolved corpse. Suddenly, the transparent unresolved bone in her hand was shattered, and fine gravel fell from her fingers to the dark and smooth tabletop.

Wu Zhen and Liu Taizhen paused at the same time. Then Wu Zhen opened the small bag with the rest of the boneless bones at hand, but saw that the boneless bones were also broken. As soon as they were poured out, a small pile of sand accumulated on the table.

Wu Zhen threw the bag, leaned back, and smiled and said, "Although I don't know what's going on, it seems that he is dead if he doesn't transform into a corpse?"

Liu Taizhen coughed lightly, looking solemn: "What's going on?"

Wu Zhen: "That thing died by himself, wouldn't it be great to save us trouble? Why do you look serious?"

Liu Taizhen was not as casual as her and frowned: "For no reason, how could that thing die by itself? There must be a reason. No matter what, we must figure it out. If there is any bad change, we should be prepared early."

Liu Taizhen has always been serious, so serious that she is a little serious. Wu Zhen feels that she may have inherited the bad habits of her father, Yushi Liu. But she dared not say that, and she had to cooperate with the strict Snake Gong and stood up with her fate and said, "Okay, I'll figure out what's going on, and come back to tell you."

Liu Taizhen also stood up, "I'll go with you."

"Come on." Wu Zhen pressed her back and sat back, "You haven't recovered yet, just stay here to rest. I'm enough for this little thing."

Liu Taizhen wanted to say something, but Wu Zhen had already opened the window and jumped out. His figure flashed in the night and disappeared. Liu Taizhen got up and walked to the window, quietly watching the lively demon market outside, and further away, the ordinary people world shrouded in darkness.

The night wind at this time was still a bit cool. Wu Zhen stood on a high place and let the night wind blow his face. Soon, she smelled a scent of fishy smell from the wind. It was a smell that ordinary people could not smell, but in her eyes, it was too obvious.

"Tsk, stinky." Wu Zhen covered his nose with his disgusted sleeves, stood at the entrance of the dark alley, looking at the messy walls and ground inside. Just looking at this scene, she could guess what happened here not long ago. The unlucky corpse did not transform into a Taoist sect, or the kind with good cultivation.

In addition to the fishy smell left by the corpse, there is also a very faint bloody smell in the air, mixed with a special fragrance of peach wood. This is not the ordinary fragrance of peach wood, but the fragrance of precious spiritual objects in the Taoist sect and black-bone peach wood. Of course, those who can hold this kind of thing are not ordinary people in the Taoist sect. Wu Zhen was not surprised that there were still such people hidden in Chang'an City. In fact, she knew several people from the Taoist sect.

However, she must have taken action this time, because she died of death with no body. It can be seen that the person who took action this time was extremely cold and cruel, unlike the usual methods she knew.

Huzhu and the charlatan were also attracted by the stinky smell. Huzhu covered his nose with disgust and looked at the mud in disgust. "These things are so disgusting every time they die."

The charlatan touched the white beard and said, "It seems that this time it was a kind-hearted Taoist who helped us solve the problem."

Since she confirmed that there was no change, Wu Zhen did not explore who did it. She moved her hand and raised a dark purple flame in her palm. She threw the flame forward on the mud, allowing the flame to spread along the mud, and burned all the mud in less than a moment. The flame would only burn out the filth. When it was extinguished, there would be no change in the dark alley, but the splash of mud disappeared.

The smell in the air dissipated, Wu Zhen lowered his sleeves and said, "Okay, go back."

After solving this, Wu Zhen was in a good mood and had not made any trouble for several days. Duke Yu of the State of Yu has not returned to the temple because of her marriage and has been living in the mansion. He is not used to his second daughter's obedient and unprovoked trouble. From the day he told Wu Zhen about his marriage, Duke Yu of the State of Yu was always ready to face the news that Wu Zhen had another accident. Unexpectedly, after the six rituals, Wu Zhen did not do anything out of the ordinary. She neither went to trouble the Mei family man nor expressed her firm rejection of the marriage, but it seemed as if she had agreed.

"It's not a pity, I just really agree. Haven't I said it before?" Wu Zhen spread his hands at the old father, "I look pretty good at that little man, why don't I agree?"

After doing it, the Duke of Yu, who was going to make the marriage no matter what, was crying. He didn't expect that he would wait for his daughter to be so well-behaved in his lifetime. Under the touching, he directly raised the date of the marriage a lot. If he didn't take advantage of his daughter's time to talk and make the marriage happen earlier, what else would he wait for!

Wu Zhen and Mei Zhuyu's marriage went very smoothly with the strong support of Duke of Yu and Empress Wu. After the days were settled, first of all Wu Zhen's friends, and then almost all Chang'an knew that the second lady Wu, who often missed the brothel in Lefang, dressed in a man, and acted unrestrained and unceremonious, was finally about to get married.

He is going to get married!

She got married at the age of 26, and she was the only one in the aristocratic circle in Chang'an City. Wu Zhen had many friends, but once the news was released, she was not allowed to be quiet every day. A bunch of familiar and unfamiliar friends came to her to congratulate her, but most of them were curious about her marriage and came to inquire about the news. Faced with various problems and exploratory eyes, Wu Zhen turned a blind eye to her, and she should live it or how she should live it.

As for Mei Zhuyu, he also showed extraordinary calmness. He worked hard at work and stayed home quietly and was extremely low-key. However, even though he was low-key, Wu Zhen's fame made him experience the feeling of attention.

There were many more people going to the Ministry of Justice on excuses, all of whom were to watch Wu Zhen’s future husband. He rode his horse on the street and looked at him with curious eyes. Even when he returned home, he couldn’t be clean. He received many greetings and invitations from people he didn’t know. Before that, no guests had ever been to his house, and no one would invite him to attend any cocktail party.

There is still a five-day tour of the court. Mei Zhuyu, who has been a transparent person, was called by His Majesty the Emperor and watched it curiously.

It seems that everyone was disbelief and amazed at the fact that Wu Zhen really wanted to marry a certain man. The main aspects of this amazement were divided, namely "How could Wu Zhen fall in love with such an ordinary man" and "How could there be a man who dared to marry Wu Zhen".

As the group of people closest to Mei Zhuyu, the officials of the Ministry of Justice have gathered together to talk about this matter whenever they are free these days, and everyone has a tone of "This matter is too incredible."

"I really didn't expect that the second lady Wu would marry Doctor Mei. These two people were completely out of the way, so how could they get together?"

"Yes, Doctor Mei has been to our Ministry of Justice for so long. Do you think he has been to a brothel with us once? I have never seen him laugh. He is young and has such a scheming style but is so boring. Mr. Du, the most playful minister in our Ministry of Justice, dares not joke with him. You say that such a man can tolerate Wu Erniang who has been in a brothel for many years? The two of them get married, and they may not be able to last long in the future. They may argue in three days."

"No, then Mrs. Wu is not a good person to mess with. I heard that she had beaten a husband to death in a brothel. If she was unhappy, Doctor Mei would probably be beaten. But I saw that Doctor Mei was not a lord who could give in. Oh, I thought about it and felt that his life was hard."

The few people sighed and suddenly they all calmed down awkwardly.

Mei Zhuyu had a expressionless face, carrying a bunch of processed official documents through the embarrassing officials of the Ministry of Justice, as if he had not heard what they said. However, just as he was about to enter, he stopped, looked at a minor official in the crowd, and said lightly: "Mrs. Wu Er had never beaten anyone to death, and there was no relevant record in the Ministry of Justice. Article 35 of the "Dict Law" Instructions, if you slander others for no reason, you may be punished seriously. Be careful next time and do not make any rumors and trouble."
