Chapter 1476 Huainan Palace Meeting
"Your Majesty, there is really a very powerful monster in the Xishi Mountain. I killed it with just two blows of my axe!"

"Your Majesty, when I followed the demon monk, I definitely saw a monkey in his alms bowl. The monkey was only the size of our fingers, but it had a ferocious look and seemed to be imprisoned in it!"

"Were these human medicines eaten by demons, taken away by the demon monk, or ran away!"

"I would rather believe that those people were ingested and imprisoned by the magic, than that they could escape!"

"But I saw trampled tracks in the Purple Mountain that lead more than ten miles outside!"

"It should be the traces left by the human-eating demon. Those human-eating demons are weak, and it will be useless to struggle against such a big demon!"

"What kind of monster is he who can be hacked to death by two axes?"

"Why, you look down on my axe!"

"I think the demon monk has an accomplice!"

"Do you think it's a little strange that many of the guards in Purple Mountain are strange? They haven't seen anything!"

……

In the palace hall of Shouchun City, many first-class guests and important officials were discussing constantly, but King Huainan still sat and watched, constantly calculating the most realistic possibilities based on the information provided by many people.

There was also Prince Liu Qian standing on the left side of King Huainan, with a somewhat depressed expression on his face.

Queen Dudu was sitting on the right side of King Huainan, also listening to everyone's analysis and judgment.

The matter originally ended with Tathagata Buddha coming to Shouchun City to seek justice, and King Huainan giving him great medicine, which was mixed with the bad luck spell of King Huainan's fortune-telling skills.

After a lot of back and forth, those who make money may not necessarily get it, and those who suffer losses may not suffer that much.

But after one night, King Huainan realized that he had lost a lot.

Tathagata Buddha is not asking for three great medicines, this is almost uprooting him.

Of course, if things are biased towards the manifestation of a great demon from Xiashi Mountain, that is another possibility.

Great demons are difficult to find, but Tathagata Buddhas are easy to find.

The former is a demon that Mao was searching for all night but could not find, while the latter is a person who can see it. The Tathagata Buddha has not run far at this time, so it is not a problem to catch up.

King Huainan had no real answer for the moment as to whether he needed to continue the conflict with the latter, and whether he could restrain Tathagata Buddha.

"It's a pity that Guest Lei's cultivation is not enough, and Guest Tianjiu's cultivation is sufficient but his swordsmanship is not enough," said Queen Liaotu regretfully.

"Tianjiu Keqing was burned like that by the fire. If this monk is good at using fire magic, we will be famous for it," King Huainan said regretfully.

"Father, do we really care about this famous teacher?" Liu Qian asked with a hint of unwillingness.

"I care a lot." King Huainan nodded and said: "If we don't have a name, the people who fight against these monks are all Huainan people. But as long as we have this name, the court and the major vassal states can intervene, and we will suffer less damage!"

"So that's it!"

Liu Qian had a little resentment at first, but when King Huainan explained it clearly, he realized that the importance of this name exceeded his imagination.

"You have to know that Taoist Ran Deng was once a guest of the Empress Dowager." King Huainan warned: "They are not some wild monks, but people with real backgrounds. If you can't suppress them and beat them directly, Master The best way to deal with it is to use your name to attract others!”

"Father is wise!" Liu Qian nodded in praise.

"If the monk is really a small family, my father will not exchange the big medicine for them, and then let them go down the mountain and leave normally," King Huainan said.

"Are these two monks really working in Wuzhu Mountain?" Liu Qian asked: "I was following the monk at that time, and I didn't feel that he had left at all. Moreover, we visited so many people, and they never He left our eyes and stayed there until he left!”

"The first time that monk came, there was only one person. When he came the second time, there were already more monks, such as Ran Deng Taoist." King Huainan said: "How do you know if the other party has a third accomplice?"

"Could it be that the demon that Mao killed by Ke Qing belonged to Fan Seng?" Liu Qian asked.

"Li Shang saw a monkey the size of a finger in his alms bowl, and Mao Guan killed a demon with an absurdly strong aura but limited strength. There is indeed a strong possibility of a connection!"

King Huainan nodded.

He cast fortune-traveling spells in the Huainan Prince's Mansion and did not go to Wuzhu Mountain. Many of his judgments on the matter came from the guests.

Until now, everything is too unknown to King Huainan.

"Leike Qing is back!"

"Thunder is coming!"

"Lei Quilt, did you find something? We didn't see you for the rest of the night!" "Lei Keqing, come here quickly!"

Everyone in the palace hall was discussing heatedly.

When Lei was returned, the sound of discussion quickly began to pull at the quilt of Lei who had quietly left in the middle of the night.

"Your Majesty!"

Lei was saluted and looked at everyone again, especially at the face of Prince Liu Qian.

It's a good thing that the prince is safe. At least he doesn't have to run for his life to avoid the disaster of poor protection.

Liu Qian looked a little unhappy when he saw Lei Qui's face, but also looked a little hopeful, as if he wanted to hear some different news from Lei Qui.

"Prince Lei Ke came just in time." King Huainan said with a smile: "My dear friends said that you were very brave last night and seemed to be chasing something. Is this true?"

"Your Majesty..."

Lei Fei felt a chill in his heart.

He was originally doing business, but later it turned into a private matter.

If the official matter was chasing horses, he didn't catch any of them, so how could he talk about private matters easily?

But it's very difficult for him to lie in front of everyone. After all, Lei Bei doesn't have the brains of these people, and he can't lie well if he wants to. People will see it when his mouth is crooked.

"Your Majesty, I went to find the Huaihe Water Mansion in the middle of the night," Lei Bei said forcefully.

"Huaihe River Water Mansion?" Wang Qi of Huainan asked: "Could it be that the sound you heard came from the Huaihe River Water Mansion?"

"Yes!"

Lei Guan had no choice but to nod.

There was nothing wrong with King Huainan asking this question, and there was nothing wrong with him answering. After all, the voice Lei heard later did indeed enter the Huaihe River Water Mansion.

"So you have found the Huaihe Water Mansion?" Tian Youqi asked.

"I found it indeed," Lei Ban nodded: "It's just under a tidal flat at Huilong Bay!"

Lei Qui's words caused an uproar.

There are not many rare rumors about Shouchun City. Even if Sage Kong passed through Huainan hundreds of years ago, the King of Huainan also erected a monument for it. This shows that there are few such rumors in Huainan.

The legend of the passing of Sage Kong could make the King of Huainan erect a monument, but the legend of the Huaihe Water God that has been circulating in Shouchun City for hundreds of years is undoubtedly better.

Even King Huainan was stunned after hearing this.

"The Huaihe Water Palace is really in the Huaihe River?" King Huainan asked.

The matter Lei was answered was almost completely unrelated to what everyone was discussing, but it still attracted a lot of attention, and even Liu Qian pricked up his ears.

"That place is buried and there is no way to get in," Lei Ban said honestly: "And there are no good treasures in the water mansion. There are only two stone carps spraying water standing at the door!"

"Thunder Quilt, have you burned your brain?" Li Shang complained: "You can't get in, how do you know that there is a water house hidden under there, and you know that there are no good treasures in the water house, and you also said that you saw two water-spraying things. Stone carp?”

"Just because I can't get in doesn't mean others can't get in," Lei was replied, "I have a friend who got in and even saw the Water Mansion!"

"your friend?"

"He used to offer his skills to the king, and his name was Dongfang Bubai." Lei Bei said angrily, "He has changed his name to Dongfang Shuo now!"

"It turns out it's Dongfang Bubai who offers his skills!"

King Huainan nodded.

Lei Fei did not have many friends, and Lei Fei mentioned that Dongfang Bubai was a familiar person in the capital of Huainan. Even if Lei Fei went to Chang'an City, the other party was happy to welcome him.

The King of Huainan also asked someone to give him a New Year gift.

If people are familiar with each other, things will be easier to handle.

King Huainan thought he could invite the other party over.

He even had some suspicions that there was something fishy going on in the Huaihe Water Mansion, perhaps related to the evil spirits in Xiashi Mountain, or the disappearance of those human medicines.
