Nocturnal

Qin Mochi looked at his funny application declaration, and then at the empty luggage bag at his feet, and felt that he seemed to have guessed something.He turned sideways to let people in, and pointed to the guest room with a natural expression, "The guest room is empty, I'll get you a new set of bedding later."

Li Yedu was a little surprised, "I live in the guest room, where does the little master live?"

"It lived in my room on the first day," Qin Mochi said helplessly, "it depends on its mood in the next few days, the sofa in the living room, the rocking chair on the balcony... Last night it slept in the closet in the kitchen."

"Oh." Li Yedu dryly praised its innovative spirit, "It's really good."

Qin Mochi helped him carry his luggage to the guest room, and took out a new bedding to tidy him up.After finishing all this and sending Li Yedu to take a bath, Qin Mochi discovered that Qingning was circling around the dining table with his head down. In the center of the circle was the blue and white porcelain vase brought by Tianqing.

Qin Mochi guessed that it was probably worried about the problems after taking the medicine, so he suggested: "The structure of the work room next door is the same as this one. Back then, I opened up the bedroom and the living room to make a work room, but the study room is still there. You You can meditate there."

Qing Ning rubbed the back of his hand, it knew that it was the place where the little nephew was working, if it settled down there, it would set up a formation, and Qin Mochi would not be able to enter the entire workshop.Will this affect his work?After all, that's the source of their livelihood - if you don't work, you can't earn money, and if you don't have money, you can't eat that thing called pizza.

Hey, it's so embarrassing.

Qin Mochi misunderstood the direction of its worry, "Little Master, don't worry. When it was renovated, the walls, doors and windows were specially treated because of the consideration that there would be work documents and materials in the study. You are inside Get into meditation, lock the doors and windows, and you won’t be disturbed.”

"I know," Qing Ning has already tested the inside and outside of the study just now, and it should be very safe to deploy the formation at that time, "I just don't worry about this stealing thing..." Well, There is also the matter of the boy surnamed Li who suddenly came to live here.But now is not the time to worry about that.It could see that the kid surnamed Li was still trying desperately to pretend that he was a pure and harmless little white rabbit, and that the wolf's tail that was hidden would not be revealed for a while.

"If you're worried," Qin Mochi poked its small round belly with his finger, "then get better soon."

Qing Ning dodged dissatisfiedly, flapped her wings and followed him to the workshop.

"Don't come in if you have nothing to do." Qing Ning carefully set up formations around the study, and told him, "After the medicine is absorbed, I will come out by myself. Don't worry."

Qin Mochi nodded, and reluctantly watched the little master lock himself up.He knew that even if Qingning was injured, his cultivation was far above his, but he was still a little worried.For a while, I was not sure if he should stay outside [-]/[-]. Isn't that what is written in the novels, called Dharma protectors.

But what law can he protect?Do you want to find a chopstick first?Or a rolling pin?

Qin Mochi looked embarrassed, and planned to look around at home, trying to get himself a strip-shaped weapon.It's really hard to find the strip-shaped things. Drawing pencils are a bit short, and it doesn't feel like fighting in your hand, and it's too funny.Qin Mochi found the kitchen without knowing it, thinking tangledly, he seems to have bought a pair of chopsticks for frying things, which were longer than ordinary chopsticks.perhaps……

The closet door opened, and Qin Mochi rummaged through a pile of cleaning supplies, when he suddenly saw a strip the length of a pencil.The color is black and the shape looks like a hairpin.

Qin Mochi couldn't help but take another look at it.

This thing was sold to him by Miss Lynx back then, because she didn't know what it was, so she kept it on his workbench. Qing Ning saw it two days ago, and she insisted on researching what it was, so she picked it up The closet came.Depending on the situation, it did not produce any results.

Qin Mochi picked up this hairpin and weighed it. It should be quite dense and heavy in the hand, but it is not the same as the texture of metal. It looks like stone or jade, but if it is really stone, it is not that big. May be so heavy.Qin Mochi fiddled with it for a while, and injected a trace of real energy into it on a whim.

The real essence was injected, but no miracle happened, that trace of true essence seemed to sink into the sea.Perhaps Qing Ning had tried this before.Qin Mochi looked over and over again, and injected some real energy into it.Although there was no reaction, there was no overflow of true energy, and it seemed to disappear into the hairpin out of thin air.

Qin Mochi was aroused by it, so he simply went back to the sofa and sat down cross-legged, mobilized the inner palace's true energy, and poured it in one by one.I don't know how long it took before he heard a light "buzz" sound from the sea of ​​consciousness, and the heavy hairpin in his hand suddenly vibrated, as if being supported by something, it slowly floated up on his palm.However, the true energy injected by Qin Mochi seemed to be sucked by something, and it leaked out crazily, and he couldn't hold it back even if he wanted to.

Out of the corner of Qin Mochi's eyes, he saw Li Yedu coming out of the bathroom in his bathrobe, but he seemed to be firmly attached to the sofa, and it was difficult for him to even blink.

The hairpin is like a folding toy, stretching out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the two arc-shaped decorations at one end of the hairpin bounce up, like a pair of spread wings.While unfolding, its overall outline became shallower and shallower, slowly disappearing into the air.

However, Qin Mochi knew that it was still there, but...it was invisible.

The sucked true essence suddenly rolled outwards, surrounding him like a whirlwind.The true energy in the inner mansion was still leaking crazily, and Qin Mochi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, feeling that he would be sucked dry in the next second.

Li Yedu finally realized that something was wrong with the way Qin Mochi was sitting there, and when he thought about it, he realized that he was separated by an invisible barrier.Li Yedu was so anxious that he bit his fingertips and drew a talisman in midair.The spell slapped on the enchantment, spontaneously ignited without wind, and disappeared in the air in the blink of an eye.

Inside the barrier, Qin Mochi collapsed on the sofa with a pale face and exhausted.The true energy of the inner palace had been exhausted, and Qin Mochi fell into a semi-comatose state that seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping.He saw a silver crossbow in the sea of ​​consciousness, like a stick figure drawn with transparent silk thread, and like a beautiful phantom refracted in the ice layer, quietly floating in his body above the palm.It was much smaller than the crossbows he had seen in picture books, but larger than ordinary hand crossbows.

Exquisite, beautiful, every turning line is extremely perfect.

But what is this?

Li Yedu stood by the sofa all night in fear. At dawn, Qin Mochi finally opened his eyes and got up from the sofa dizzily.

Li Yedu rubbed his stiff neck and looked at him cautiously, "How do you feel?"

After a whole night of recuperation, Qin Mochi's inner mansion has been refilled. He saw that the true energy flowing in the meridians was circulating to his wrist, and then returned to his fingers along the phantom of the crossbow on his palm. ——to think of this mysteriously appearing weapon as a part of his own meridians.

Qin Mochi spread out his palms, and the phantom of the bow and crossbow appeared shiningly in his palms, and he could hold it with his hand.Clenching his fist, it disappeared again.

What is this strange thing?

Seeing that his expression was changing, Li Yedu stretched out his hand to touch his forehead worriedly, "Uncomfortable?"

Qin Mochi shook his head, and shook Li Yedu's hand with the hand with the bow and crossbow, "Do you have any special feeling?"

The tips of Li Yedu's ears turned red quickly, he pursed his lips, and held his hand with his backhand, "What do you think?"

Qin Mochi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what Li Yedu meant, and couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not joking, I'm talking to you seriously, my hand..."

Li Yedu interrupted him, staring at him with piercing eyes, "I'm also serious."

Qin Mochi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but was a little moved, "Stop! Listen to me first, I want to ask you, can you feel something in my palm?"

Li Yedu looked down at the two clasped hands, and asked with a question mark, "What is it?"

"Can't you see it?" Qin Mochi let go of his hand, spread his palm and looked at the shadow of the crossbow in his palm, and asked thoughtfully: "The monk holds a crossbow in his hand, but there is no arrow, what should I do?"

Li Yedu thought for a while, "You mean to say that true energy is an arrow?"

Qin Mochi's expression froze for a moment, true essence as an arrow?What it is?He looked at the silver crossbow slightly floating in the palm of his hand, tentatively, pulled out another strand of true energy, carefully condensed the shape of an arrow, and placed it on the string.I looked around and aimed at a t-shirt hanging on the balcony.

Li Yedu watched his movements inexplicably, and couldn't help being amused when he saw him raising his hand in a shooting gesture. Just as he was about to ask, he felt a weak air flow quickly passing by in front of him.In the next second, the clothes hanger on the balcony shook slightly, and the t-shirt was pulled by a strong air current. With a brush, a round hole the size of a palm pierced through the middle.The stubble was neat and tidy, as if it had been cut open by a sharp knife.

Li Yedu was dumbfounded, "How did you do it?"

Qin Mochi showed him his palm, "Crossbow."

Li Yedu touched his hand.Qin Mochi's hands are very beautiful, with slender fingers. Because of the frequent use of various tools, there is a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips.

Qin Mochi was itchy from his touch, and laughed, "I don't know what's going on, but I was holding a hairpin, and suddenly it turned into a weapon."

Li Yedu was thoughtful.

Qin Mochi sniffed his sleeve, and said with disgust, "It smells like sweat. I'll go wash it first. There's bread in the refrigerator, so I can make fried eggs myself." When there were no guests at home, he usually had breakfast like this To deal with it, sometimes I will add an apple to supplement myself with vitamins.

Li Yedu waved his hand, "Go wash up. I'll make breakfast."

Watching Qin Mochi's back walk into the bathroom, Li Yedu could hardly conceal his worry. Too many strange things happened to Qin Mochi, especially in the past six months, first he was full of evil spirits, and later he was involved in Sima's family. After a terrible incident, he was kidnapped for no reason, and now he has an invisible crossbow in his hand...

Li Yedu faintly felt that there was an invisible net covering Qin Mochi's side, and it was tightening step by step with unknown meaning.

Qu went directly to Qin Mochi's phone call, and when he heard him talk about the deal with Tianqing, he was furious, "Qin Mochi, do you have any sense of being a state worker?"

Qin Mochi carefully reminded him, "...a part-time job."

"It's not right for you to be a part-time job," Qu Zhi slapped the table hard, "Why didn't you report such a big matter before? It's a simple transaction, what name are you doing the transaction in? Jewelry designer? Or work in the 'Special Affairs Department' personnel?"

Qin Mochi, "..." He really didn't think so much before.

"Come to Corey for a meeting tomorrow," Qu Zhi angrily gave him an order, "You...are violating discipline!"

Qin Mochi, "..." He went to the "Special Affairs Department" once, and then he was kidnapped for no apparent reason. He doesn't even know what the rules are, okay?

Qu Zhi hung up the phone, heaved a sigh of relief, "How can I accept such a troublesome team member?"

The man on the other side of the desk snorted and laughed, "I told you to eat it. Who made you reluctant?"

Qu Zhi stared at him, "Isn't it a violation of discipline to feed you?!"
