I can practice a hundred million times

"I can't tell. It just smells like urine, but it doesn't look like it. This smell is very unique. As long as you smell it, you can know what it is." Qi Mengzhu replied simply with a serious face.

Lu Ming nodded thoughtfully, recalling that the smell just now was a bit different. "So that's how it is. Right now, another person died in the city, and the one who died was the old man who repaired the magic weapon. If we want to catch the phantom beast, do we really need this magic weapon?"

"Of course, the gossip yin and yang mirror is the best magic weapon to trap the magical beast. Without it, my mana will be greatly reduced, and I can't help this beast at all. It's also my fault that my mana is limited, otherwise this little How can the transfigured beasts in the world be my opponents. Plus there is a mysterious force behind it, so it will be very difficult to deal with."

"That's right, Miss Qi, otherwise, you can give me some Taoism. When the time comes, the two of us united should be stronger than one person. I wonder if Miss Qi will agree to my request." Lu Ming mentioned the matter of practice again, but he was not sure about it. After all, how could the Qi family's Taoism be passed on by word.

With a bang, the person standing outside the door was an angry Mu Fei. He ran in and was caught in front of Lu Ming and Qi Mengzhu. "What am I talking about? This guy just doesn't give up. He always wants to use the excuse of practicing to get close to Miss Qi. Lu Ming, are you out of business? So many people die every day, don't you care, instead We must pester Miss Qi."

The originally good atmosphere was completely broken by Mu Fei, Lu Ming stared wide-eyed and scolded: "Get out, get out quickly."

"This is your home. If you say I will go out, I will go out."

"No, aren't you locked in a cell, why did you come out?" Lu Ming suddenly realized that Mu Fei had been imprisoned before, and he was really surprised by his appearance now.

Mu Fei was stunned for a moment, then moved away from Lu Ming first, and said with a smile: "What kind of cell is your cell, the door is not locked, and I opened it as soon as I pushed it. Seeing that everyone is busy, I came out by myself."

Lu Ming was furious. If it was something else, there was room for negotiation, but this is a public prison, so it's not proper for a prisoner to come out ostentatiously.

Immediately, he called the adjutant and scolded, "Qiu Jiu, what are you eating? The prisoners have all come out. Don't you find that there are fewer people in the prison?"

After Qiu Jiu saw Mu Fei, he immediately knew the seriousness of the matter. He personally arrested Mu Fei and angrily said: "Mu Fei, how did you get out? I thought you would be locked up for a few days before you come out. It’s different, you escaped from prison, it doesn’t matter what you have been doing for three or five years.”

After a while, two soldiers came up and tied up Mu Fei, ready to stay.

Seeing this scene, Qi Mengzhu asked in a daze: "No, Commander Lu, what kind of law did Mu Fei commit? Why should he be imprisoned?"

"Miss Qi, don't worry about this matter, I have my own measure, so take it down." Lu Ming didn't wait for the other party to ask, and forced someone to take it down.

Unexpectedly, Qi Mengzhu blocked the way of the soldiers and prevented them from taking them away. "No, if you don't make it clear today, you can't take it away. Captain Lu, I don't know how Mu Fei is usually, but he is from the Mu family and he has helped us before. Can't you accommodate me?"

In fact, Lu Ming didn't really want to detain Mu Fei, but because of his troubles before, the arrest plan failed, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he detains him.Now it must not be closed again. If Mu Shanhe knows, it is estimated that it will be impossible to cooperate with the county government to appease the families of the victims.

Chapter 9 and Five: The Feather Duster

After thinking about it, he waved his hand and ordered Mu Fei to be released. "It's for Miss Qi's sake, otherwise, you'll have to wait for three to five years."

Mu Fei was ecstatic, walked up to Qi Mengzhu very gratefully, and said with a playful smile: "Miss Qi, I knew I was right about you. You really can't stand it any longer. You are afraid that I will suffer and intercede with me."

Don't be too sentimental, okay, you're just a womanizer.Next time you interfere with official duties, you will not be treated like this. There are many instruments of torture in the cell, and I will let you try them all. "

Mu Fei's smile stopped abruptly, and he quickly hid behind Qi Mengzhu's back, pouted and said, "Avenging private revenge is really a narrow-minded person. Some people must be jealous and want to use their power to squeeze us ordinary people."

"What's jealous?" Qi Mengzhu asked in confusion.

Mu Fei smiled and didn't answer, while Lu Ming stared at him stubbornly, gnashing his teeth and said, "Besides, you'll have all your teeth pulled out."

"Who is it, Miss Qi, you must stay away from some villains with ulterior motives. How about this, Miss Qi, you accept me as an apprentice and teach me the way, and then we can go together as a pair to capture those strange beasts .” Mu Fei’s small calculations in his heart began to crackle again.

Qi Mengzhu showed a gentle and polite smile, "This method is not achieved overnight. It will take a long time to start to be like me. I'm afraid that by then, everyone in Huzhong County will be dead."

"Don't be afraid, I'm very smart, I can learn it as soon as I learn it, maybe I can reach your level in a few days, are you still afraid of magical beasts?" Mu Fei said confidently .

Lu Ming hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, and said fiercely: "Some people use their intelligence on women, Miss Qi be careful."

"Mind your business. Lu Ming, you can manage your affairs well. Miss Qi, from today onwards, I will be your apprentice. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down." Saying that, Mu Fei It was very straightforward to kneel down and salute Qi Mengzhu.

Lu Ming kicked the other party aside, and said coldly with his eyebrows: "It's not over, this is the county government, and the idlers are waiting for me to get out."

Mu Fei was covered in dust from the fall, he got up, patted the dust off his body, but said with a lifeless smile: "Master, this man is just narrow-minded, let's not be as knowledgeable as him, we are idlers, let's go out, and then we You taught me the way."

"Good idea, Miss Qi, this person has no business for a day, so don't believe what he says. Right now, only if I learn your Taoism, can we destroy that illusory beast together, otherwise, how many A person like an old craftsman will die tragically." Lu Ming tidied up his clothes and saluted Qi Mengzhu.

Qi Mengzhu looked at the two men in front of him. There are fewer and fewer people learning Taoism these days, and it is very difficult to find an heir.In this era of guns, who would learn things that cannot protect the country, only the barrel of a gun can protect the family and the people of one side.

She was very moved, but the Qi family had many rules. First of all, the non-Qi family could not pass it on, and those in the officialdom could not pass it on. There were more such family rules.These two alone are enough to make her reject the two men in front of her.

"I accept your wishes, but the family rules are too strict and many things are restricted. Whether it is Mr. Mu or Captain Lu, I can't accept you unless I get my father's consent." Qi Mengzhu said helplessly.

Lu Ming and Mu Fei were very surprised, but they also understood such a rule. Many things of the ancestors were like this.

The lost two were sitting at the desk playing with the writing brush in their hands, and the other was sitting on the sofa, playing with the tea set in their hands, neither knowing what to say.

Qi Mengzhu saw it, and was very anxious. At present, there are many brothers and sisters in the Qi family who know this way, but after all, the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. If they want to move rescuers from their hometown in Nancheng, they are afraid that they will be in the lake. The people in the county have long since disappeared, and it has become a dead city.

"Don't do this, you two. I have no choice. Right now, the only way is to repair the magic weapon. There is another craftsman in Huzhong County, but in recent years he has been hiding in the mountains with his name hidden. If he wants to repair the magic weapon, he must Ask him to come out." Qi Mengzhu had an idea and thought of another craftsman, but this craftsman and the Qi family were not very good at dealing with each other, but he couldn't think of any other good way for a while.

"Then do you know where he is?" the two men asked in unison.

Qi Mengzhu has been standing since he entered the door. After talking so much, he felt a little dry, so he just sat down.After taking a sip to moisten her throat, she said earnestly: "I know, others don't know, but my Qi family knows where he is. He is now in a big mountain on the outskirts of the city. His name is Yang Xiaoqi. But He has a bit of grievance with the Qi family, you know I won't fix it if I go there."

"It's okay, I'll go." Lu Ming and Mu Fei said in unison again.

"What are you, the head of a county, involved in? Only I can help Miss Qi in this matter, so don't dream about it, and calm down the families of the victims in your office, or someone will come to make trouble, and it may not be possible. What a waste of time to invite my father over." Mu Fei curled his lips, and quickly interrupted the other party's words, speaking eloquently.

Although Lu Ming was a little bit powerless, he was still 120 worried about Mu Fei going to work. "That's no good, you go alone, I'm afraid you will be scared to death before entering the mountain. I'll let Wang Mouse go with you, he must be more familiar with this area than you kid."

"Wang Mouse? Just that crooked browbeater? I said, Commander Lu, you have no talent. Why do you have to think of this Wang Mouse?" Mu Fei cast a contemptuous look, and he has always looked down on Wang Mouse. A bully who does nothing to oppress the people.

"When talking about others, first look at yourself. Wang Mouse is a local ruffian, but he is not a womanizer. Anyway, he will try his best to do things for us. Well, that's it, and I will send a platoon of soldiers to follow you."

Mu Fei's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect Lu Ming to make such an arrangement, and he said angrily, "Let Wang Mouse go, and let your soldiers follow. Lu Ming, how worried are you about me?"

"That's to protect you, otherwise you think I'm willing to let them go. Let me tell you, don't be ignorant, just make it up." Lu Ming stood up, patted the table, and showed a soldier's look .

Chapter 9 The Man in the Closet

Even if Mu Fei is a hundred times more reluctant, so what, now the parent is Lu Ming, who holds the power of life and death. If he wants to survive in the troubled times, he has to compromise on some things. "Damn, Lu Ming, just wait, I won't let your treachery succeed. I will definitely let Miss Qi accept me as an apprentice, and when the time comes, the two of us will ride our horses and gallop across the world in a cool and unrestrained manner. Whose nose will be crooked at that time."

Thinking about this beautiful thing, Mu Fei was elated.

In the afternoon, Wu Zuo handed over the report. After Lu Ming saw this strange report, he couldn't make up his mind, so he went to find Qi Mengzhu who arranged to live next door.

When I got inside, I found that Mu Fei was among them, discussing something with Qi Mengzhu, and the two laughed happily.

Lu Ming took the report up, squinted at Mu Fei, and said to Qi Mengzhu: "Miss Qi, this report is very strange, I want you to read it."

Qi Mengzhu took the report, read it for a while, closed the document, and returned it to the other party. "Captain Lu, the report said that there was nothing unusual about the deceased, the only wound was a black spot on his forehead. Judging from the black spot, I can basically be sure that it was caused by a strange beast."

"Could it be a phantom beast?"

"No, it won't be like this when the phantom beast makes a move."

"So there are other alien beasts in the city?" Lu Ming felt even more uneasy. One transfigured alien beast is enough to cause headaches. If there is another one, it will be hell on earth.

Qi Mengzhu nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, according to this report, it should be like this. I have seen the corpse of the old craftsman, and the energy has not been sucked away, but only a single victim. From this, it can be seen that it is not It was done by phantom beasts."

"One of them hasn't been solved yet, and the other one came again." Mu Fei sighed, and said vowedly, "I said Miss Qi, you should teach me Taoism, with my intelligence, I will definitely learn from the Qi family. With the essence of Taoism, these strange beasts can be taken down easily at that time, so that they dare not enter Huzhong County again."

No matter how he looked at it, Lu Ming felt that Mu Fei was not pleasing to the eye at all. He felt very upset, and said angrily, "Can you die if you don't brag? Didn't I ask you to prepare, and then go to find Yang Xiaoqi with Wang Mouse? Still here?"

"Wang Mouse didn't come, and neither did your soldiers. You let me die alone?"

Lu Ming thought about it for a while and it was true. Wang Mouse hadn't come back yet. This guy was originally going to track down Qi Mengzhu's whereabouts. It might be difficult to know where he is.So, he didn't want to argue with Mu Fei, and turned to Qi Mengzhu and said, "Miss Qi, I just found out that you have pasted Zhang Tianshi amulets everywhere in the county office. Did you make any big moves?"

"No, this is just to ensure the safety of the county government. Except for the old craftsman, the other young people have not been killed by the morphing beast these days, which means that the morphing beast must have been hiding to heal its injuries. I want to take advantage of this Arrange the time to ensure everyone's safety, and find Yang Xiaoqi as soon as possible, and let him repair my magic weapon." Qi Mengzhu is still worried about whether the magic weapon can be repaired, and whether it can really deal with illusion after repairing Alien beast.

The next day, Wang Mouse came back and said that he had searched many places but could not find any clues about Qi Mengzhu.Lu Ming explained the task arranged yesterday to the other party in detail again, and hoped that this time he could succeed in one fell swoop, repair the magic weapon, and catch all the phantom beasts hiding in the lair.

Wang Mouse is a person who pursues fame and fortune. Lu Ming knows this very well. Seeing that the other party is not willing, he asks his adjutant Qiu Jiu to take out ten silver dollars, and promises that after this time, there will be a heavy reward.

Hearing the word "heavy remuneration", Wang Mouse was naturally very happy and readily agreed.After he left the county government office, he took a platoon of soldiers to Mu's house to look for Mu Fei. It was near evening when the group set off for the eastern outskirts of the city.

On Lu Ming's side, finally, with the help of Mu Shanhe, the people in the city were stabilized.At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, he came to the shroud shop again with the report he made.

At this time, the shroud shop has been sealed off, and the county government's seal is pasted on the door.Lu Ming pushed the door open and entered, and a cold and musty wind was blowing in his face, as if no one had lived here for several years.

On the ground in the house, there is still the appearance of the old craftsman lying down at that time, which was surrounded by lime powder.Lu Ming squatted outside the circle, touched the dust on the ground inside the circle, and muttered to himself: "What kind of strange beast is it? Why did it harm the old craftsman? Does he have any ulterior secrets, or does he have something in his hand? What's wrong with the strange beast?"

"Would it have something to do with repairing the magic weapon, but when I got here, the murderer seemed to have already arrived, otherwise I wouldn't have smelled that smell. If so, there should be something that the strange beast needs here. And look for it first."

Lu Ming rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the house, not letting go of even the slightest clue.However, after searching for a long time, I still haven't found anything worth noting. I think the strange beast should have got something.

"If you get something, then of course you won't come back." Lu Ming sighed and was about to leave.

At this time, the outside door was blown open, and with a bang, a wisp of green smoke floated in.

Lu Ming hurried to the closet next to him, and smelled the familiar smell.

As soon as the closet door was closed, blue smoke floated in, instantly transforming into a figure.It's just that this figure deliberately wore a hat, the hat was pressed down very low, surrounded by light veils, it was impossible to see who it was, but judging from the figure of the other party, it should be a woman.

After the girl in light gauze came in, she gestured a few times with her hands, muttered something, and a white light shot out from her hands, illuminating the dark little room.

Everything in the room can be seen clearly, the light released by the woman in light gauze slowly gathers, forming a spell-like thing, which is tightly attached to the wall.

Originally, the old craftsman had removed Zhong Kui's portrait, but for some reason, it was pasted on it again, and seeing the portrait come alive, it felt like a living person standing there.

After the talisman suppressed Zhong Kui's portrait, the girl in Qingsha turned around and walked out of the inner room to the outer room. With a light tap of her finger, a ball of fire flew into the paper figurine, and instantly the tongue of flame rose three to four meters high, burning rapidly.

Lu Ming hid in the closet and didn't know that there was a fire outside until he smelled the burning smell.He ran out quickly, opened the window of the inner room, and squeezed out of the narrow space.After several efforts, he finally escaped from the scene of fire.It's just that the veiled woman has long since disappeared, and she has never even seen what she looks like.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 9 and Seven

The fire burned for a long time, but fortunately with the help of left and right neighbors, it was extinguished.After Lu Ming and everyone extinguished the fire, they left the shroud store and prepared to walk towards the county government.

Although staying at Shanghai University may bring more opportunities, Lu Ming himself is not satisfied with the school's arrangement.Being able to be sent to such a place by the principal Zhuge Jun is also a relief.

However, now, Lu Ming wants to go back more and more, because he also wants to go back to the magic city and is arranged to go to the wilderness so that he can meet some people.

Such as Shangguan Wuyan, such as Princess Ning Wuhua and Yishou.

These two women are becoming more and more important to him, but it is Lin Xi, a beautiful little beauty who can't occupy his heart.

……

Although something happened, after leaving this street, everyone was still very quiet, as if nothing happened at all.There were no pedestrians on the street, and they all fell asleep early. In this era of curfew at night, no one wants to waste a little oil lamp at night.

Just at the corner, Lu Ming was bumped by something suddenly, causing a sharp pain in his left shoulder.When he looked back, a woman in a white pleated skirt fell to the ground, and the umbrella in her hand was thrown aside.

Lu Ming quickly turned around and ran over, ready to hold the woman's hand.

"Girl, are you okay."

The woman didn't speak, but ignored Lu Ming's hand, struggled to get up, and then went to pick up the umbrella on the ground.

Although Lu Ming didn't do it on purpose, he still blamed himself a little. He thought he was distracted just now and accidentally knocked this girl down, so he had to say sorry before leaving.

"Girl, I'm really sorry, is there any injury?"

The woman stopped and stared at Lu Ming with cold eyes, but she was not ready to answer any questions.

When Lu Ming came in front of the woman, he lowered his head and saw her face clearly under the moonlight.

"Miss Sun? Why are you?"

Little did he know that the woman under the moonlight was actually Sun Shangxiang who brought three Taoist priests to the county government office to question Xingshi.

Lu Ming hurriedly patted the dust off the other party's skirt, but this kindness was rejected by the other party.

Sun Shangxiang stepped aside, his face was turning green with anger.

Originally, I didn't want to have any conversations with these officials, especially Lu Ming, but I have come to this point, so I have to say something.

"Captain Lu is so powerful. He showed his prestige in the county government and frightened the little girl away. Now he is following the little girl in the middle of the night, and knocking the little girl down for public revenge. Captain Lu is really a good parent officer."

Sun Shangxiang's cynicism, in her opinion, let alone a county magistrate, even if she came to a province, she would not be afraid at all.

Lu Ming saw that the other party's gunpowder smell was very strong, and he was distracted and knocked down the other party in the first place, so he felt sorry, and it was inevitable to let go of his figure.

"Miss Sun, if I knocked you down and hurt you just now, I apologize to you, but if you insinuate, point and scold Huai and explain other things, then please forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Lu Ming turned around and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, something suddenly came to his mind, and he felt that this woman appeared a little abnormal.

In terms of body shape, she is somewhat similar to the light-veiled woman who appeared in the shroud shop just now.

"Captain Lu, be careful on the road at night. Those who have done something wrong must be careful that they will be punished at night."

Sun Shangxiang was still sarcastic, and was not frightened by Lu Ming's words at all.

Lu Ming just turned around and looked at the woman in front of him. After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "By the way, I haven't asked yet. It's very late at night and the curfew is about to come. Why did the girl come out?"
