no one knows better than me

Although the inn looked spacious and tidy, there weren't many people there. There were only two people drinking by the window in the lobby next to it, and the shopkeeper was taking a nap at the table.

"I knew this kind of teleportation for thousands of miles, you know it." After entering the store, Zhuang Qingliu looked around casually, then turned to Meihualan, "So this is in Xuanzhou, right? What are you going to do now? Be a thief overnight ?"

Mei Hualan said, "Continue to sleep."

Zhuang Qingliu: "?"

Mei Siji stepped forward skillfully: "Shopkeeper, please trouble the three guest rooms."

"Hmm... three rooms." Zhuang Qingliu chanted scriptures with Mei Hualan while going upstairs, "Your family is really rich, so can you give me some meat for breakfast tomorrow?"

"..."

Just a few steps around the corner is the guest room. The room is not big, but it is clean. There is a pot of orchids on the table, which is very elegant.

It was the first time to stay in this kind of inn in Xiuxian Dashi, and it was a bit novel. After Zhuang Qingliu fiddled with the pot of orchids, he strolled to the bedside and tried the softness of the bed with his hands, and asked, "Really sleeping? Then what are you doing all night?" ?”

After not hearing a reply for a long time, she turned her head and found that Mei Hualan was tying a hollow ball the size of a walnut to the head of the bed. She couldn't help asking curiously, "What is this?"

Plum Blossom Lantern: "Incense to soothe the nerves."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhuang Qingliu, who hadn't reacted yet, suddenly tilted her head and fell asleep with the pillow on her head.

"..." This person really has a lot of routines.

Mei Hualan unhurriedly went out to fetch a basin of water, then took off Zhuang Qingliu's coat, wrung out a wet towel, wiped her hands and face, put her completely under the quilt, and then looked down quietly for a while. .

It's just that this time he didn't seem to be able to hold back, he bent down silently, and paused for a long time with only a thin line above her forehead, and finally turned to the back of her hand, and kissed her lightly.

After doing this, Mei Hualan pulled out half of the sword, felt the word "floating lamp" that was written not long ago with her fingertips, then stood by the window and quietly drank a cup of tea, then slipped out quietly.

Probably it was indeed the effect of this calming incense. Zhuang Qingliu slept soundly and deeply this time. He didn't dream at all, and he didn't get up to wander around in the middle of the night. It wasn't until dawn that he opened his eyes in confusion and stared at the bed above his head. I looked at the account for a while.

She found that she even woke up at exactly the same time these days.

Mei Hualan is outrageous, if there is something you want to go alone, can't you just say it?Is she the kind of person who insists on sticking to "Take me, go with me, no! I will never stay..." Barabara?

So it's not that this person owes a word or two, it seems a little unreasonable for her to talk less, and she often avoids talking more with Zhuang Qingliu.

What does this avoid?talk to her

"Are you awake?" Mei Siji's face came into view from the side at this moment.

When she saw the extraordinary aromatherapy ball on the bedside, she knew what Mei Hualan had done last night. Although she didn't agree with it in her heart, she still slanted her stance and said, "You fell asleep and ran around at night, Mr. Duanzhu." It's also for your own good, calm down and don't be angry."

Zhuang Qingliu blinked at her: "Calm down, and even want to become a monk."

Mei Siji: "..."

Zhuang Qingliu made a splash, sat up neatly, and while sitting on the bed did a cervical spine exercise, she thought to herself: Could it be because there is something hidden about this trip?Because the road ahead is dangerous?Mei Pan always keeps things quiet so she won't worry?

Well, let's make a divination!

After Zhuang Qingliu got dressed and washed, she took three copper coins from Mei Siji, spread them on the table in turn with a wave of her hand, and then spun them up and down, the copper coins jumped up and down lively on the table. bounced up.

After a while, it showed great evil.

The corners of Zhuang Qingliu's eyes twitched... Immediately, she quickly put away the copper coins as if nothing had happened, as if she moved quickly enough that the ominous hexagram could not catch up with her.

And she's just an entry-level player in the half-immortal team, so she doesn't work.

Mei Siji just turned over Zhuang Qingliu with her eyes, when the door behind her was knocked twice, Mei Hualan seemed to sweep over the sleeve of Zhuang Qingliu's copper coin, and said, "Come out for breakfast."

"Ok."

The three of them went out and sat down by the window on the second floor. Zhuang Qingliu was very moved after eating a mutton pie, and immediately forgave Mei Hualan's outrageous behavior unilaterally in his heart. Looking down from the window——Xuanzhou is remote, even in the daytime, there are still not many people on the street, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a small town.

After she finished eating the pie, she took a sip of scented tea and said, "How is it? Meipan, do you have any clues?"

Mei Hualan also turned her head to look downstairs, but it was not in the same direction as Zhuang Qingliu was looking at, and replied: "Nothing."

"Then what should we do?" Zhuang Qingliu thought for a while and asked, "There are two directions, which one should we start with first?"

Mei Siji interrupted while drinking porridge: "Which two directions?"

Zhuang Qingliu also learned to say succinctly: "One, Pei's house; two, curse."

Just as Mei Hualan turned her gaze back and took a look at her, there was a commotion in the direction of the downstairs lobby of the inn, as if there was a dispute between some tables drinking tea and chatting.

Only then did Zhuang Qingliu notice that Mei Hualan's line of sight fell there just now, and she followed her gaze - it turned out to be a group of people in fairy clothes and belts holding spirit swords, and it was impossible to guess their affiliation just from their attire and attire. which one.

But why did a group of monks suddenly gather here?

It happened that the shopkeeper came up to refill the tea. Hearing her question, he said: "It's some casual cultivators from the immortal sect, they don't belong to any sect. We just came here from other places in the past two days, and we just met each other."

"Two days?" Zhuang Qingliu raised his eyebrows suddenly.

"Pei's disappearance of two suzerains, big and small, is known to all the people of the Immortal Sect. Those who look like they are also from the Immortal Sect should know about it." The shopkeeper's voice was very gentle, and his words were also polite.

Zhuang Qingliu followed his words and thought about it for a while, and immediately understood—there are only a few prominent ones among the hundreds of immortal families. The place bothered.But the small sect is different. If the small sect wants to develop and grow, it often needs to make friends with the big sect, and there is a lot of flattery and fawning.

As for casual cultivators, except for the free ones who don't want to enter the sect, there are even fewer ways to go on weekdays.

This time the Pei family suddenly had a major incident. If anyone can contribute at this time, they will naturally get benefits in the future, and those who get favors will get favors. What's more, they will be regarded as Shangqing by the Pei family from now on. possible.

"But Xuanzhou is remote and there are no clues. Why didn't those people go to Pei's Immortal Mansion and come here?" Zhuang Qingliu turned his eyes around those people upstairs.

"Slightly larger sects, of course, all went to the Immortal Mansion of Pei Mansion to find Sect Master Pei, but the body of the missing Mr. Pei has not been found. These casual cultivators are conscious that they cannot compete with the larger sects, so they come here Let's find clues in the old place of Xuanzhou."

Zhuang Qingliu nodded to show that he understood, nodded his teacup thoughtfully, and just turned his head and said to Mei Hualan: "Mei Pan, do you think the curse is related to these loose cultivators..."

At this time, someone downstairs suddenly shouted over everyone, looked around and said, "Everyone, listen to me, it's useless for us to search aimlessly like this! It's been a few days, has anyone caught a ghost?" Is there a shadow?"

A few people echoed: "What should Mr. Fei say? Come up with an idea, and I'll follow you. If there's any benefit then, let's share it together!"

That Mr. Fei suddenly became more confident: "In my opinion, this matter is what Zhuang Qingliu did. She has committed extraordinary things several years ago, and now just after she was born again, two people disappeared one after another in the Pei family. How could it be such a coincidence? Not to mention Mr. Pei's actual summoning spirit!"

Zhuang Qingliu: "..."

Mei Siji immediately turned to her and snorted: "Yes, your reputation is just that bad."

Zhuang Qingliu raised his eyebrows and gave her a very Buddhist look.She just thinks this episode is a good routine, and she often reads it in novels, so it can be seen that it is very real.

Mei Siji looked at her expression and asked: "Aren't you angry?"

Zhuang Qingliu said "Oh": "It's not bad." Compared with these people sitting here with names and surnames and assigning crimes to others, those who hide their faces behind the screen and type on the keyboard in modern society are more unscrupulous. , They are all blah blah, as a daily melon lover, she is very used to it.

The voice of Mr. Fei downstairs was even louder: "Everyone, listen to me! I have some hidden news from the coast of Meizhou. The fairy boat of the Mei family is bringing Zhuang Qingliu to Xuanzhou, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow. When we directly join hands to intercept, we may not be able to force them to hand over Zhuang Qingliu!"

"..." Zhuang Qingliu was really surprised this time, the co-authors are all sitting here waiting for a rabbit.

She glanced at Mei Hualan's usual indifferent face, thinking it's no wonder that this person had to float in a boat for a day, and then use the teleportation array to come directly in the middle of the night.

But these people downstairs...Jiemei's fairy boat?Cut plum blossoms?true and false?

Sure enough, someone hesitated and said: "The Mei family is the most trustworthy. Since she has been taken away by Mr. Duanzhu, she will definitely give an explanation in the end. Is it wrong for us to act rashly?"

"What's wrong? If there is no selfishness, Zhuang Qingliu can be taken away by her for interrogation, and so can others. The five-color edict has been issued, and we are only waiting for a truth statement!"

Zhuang Qingliu felt their fearlessness of "righteous awe-inspiring" and the illusion of moral confidence, and turned to ask Mei Siji: "What they said just now, don't they still get the benefits and share them together?"

The corner of Mei Siji's mouth twitched, and she couldn't say a word: "Yes, but if they really intercept the boat, it will be a trouble."

Zhuang Qingliu nodded in understanding. The higher a person stands, the more he must be careful in his actions. It is not because of the shackles, but because he wants to avoid unnecessary trouble for himself. It is really difficult to encounter such a thing.

Fortunately, the skeptical person continued to speak suspiciously: "The Mei family and the Pei family have been friends for a hundred years. Mr. Pei first discussed marriage with the Mei family, and then disappeared in the border of Meizhou. The Mei family brought her back, perhaps for the sake of contributing."

"Who knows whether to contribute or take credit alone? The matter involves the two suzerains of the Pei family, and it is a big favor to help."

"It's so easy, the Zhang Taimei family must not want others to take a share."

"Furthermore, with Zhuang Qingliu's ability, Mei's may not want to get her for their use."

……

The group of people spoke slowly, and their mouths became more and more contemptuous. Mei Siji's complexion became a little unhappy, but she was very calm.

"..." Zhuang Qingliu couldn't help stretching out her hand, flipping through it, what ability does she have?Is it the ability to divination and divination?

She glanced downstairs, thinking that it's no wonder that these people are casual cultivators, people who are used to huddling together to keep warm, and they can't help but sarcasm this and that when they sit together, as if they can get an inexplicable satisfaction from it.

"Okay!" After a while, Mr. Fei stood up, his gaze swept from left to right, "If anyone doesn't want to be together, they can leave on their own. I won't force you, just take a step first and say goodbye!"

This big bastard who has the aura of sending him to death probably deceived many people with his mouth, and immediately screened out a wave of people who were only ambitious and had no real material behind him, and squeezed out together.

There was also a small group of people who looked suspicious. After sitting still for a while, they got up and went in another direction.

Mei Hualan, who had been sitting still all this time, raised her eyes at this moment. At the same time, dozens of lifelike cranes on her sleeves suddenly flew out together, fluttering their wings silently to catch up with the second wave of people who went out.
