Dream Maker [Rebirth]

Ji Wuzhou didn't show any displeasure because of this answer, as if he had expected it long ago, he bent his lips indifferently: "It's understandable, after all, my suspicion is indeed the biggest."

As early as when he decided to help Luci rebirth, he expected that after Luci woke up, he would definitely investigate what happened back then, and as the "culprit" criticized by the whole world, he was bound to bear the brunt and become the focus of his investigation.

Therefore, it was completely within his expectation that Lu Ci would choose Dream Crossing Immortal Palace in the pardoning ceremony.

"But I think it is necessary to correct you," Lu Ci suddenly changed the subject, "Although you may not care, but I still want to tell you - I never believed from the beginning that 'you killed your fellow disciples for the sake of spiritual weapons' But I really want to know how you got the spirit weapon, and I also want to find out the real reason for the destruction of the secret realm. Therefore, the reason why I came to Dream Fairy Palace is not so much to find out about 'you', but rather Want to check the 'truth'."

Ji Wuzhou was a little surprised, but soon understood the difference between the two, as if warm water had been poured into his heart, he said with a light smile, "Then you can find out what you want?"

Lu Ci was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and leaned back to the pool wall again, frowned slightly and said: "I did learn something, but I didn't find it out, I can only say... I learned it by accident."

He turned his head to look at Ji Wuzhou, and said: "Shortly after I came out of Tong's Mansion, I met Senior Sister."

Recalling what he saw and heard in the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace, he told the whole thing from the root to the tip.

Wenchi is quiet, and there is no sound around it, except for the moonlight to accompany it and whisper.

He spoke carefully, and Ji Wuzhou listened carefully. Although he was not too surprised, there was a lot of doubt in his brows.

At the end of the narration, Lu Ci couldn't help but end with a soft sigh: "So even if you know that someone deliberately caused the insomnia, you also know that there may be something strange about the outflow of the baby's corpse, but you can't prove it, and you can't find the direction to continue the investigation. .”

Ji Wuzhou thought for a while, and said: "Do you think what Missang Yaoyue said can be trusted?"

Lu Ci was silent for a moment, and said: "If she hadn't mentioned the Gu disease in Sangcheng, I still think that the disaster in the secret realm is just a plague, let alone know where the baby corpse came from. If she deliberately concealed it, she would have never heard of it from the beginning. It is necessary to take me to the Immortal Palace. What's more, what she said about the theft of lice, the infestation of Sangcheng, and the existence of the canal are not difficult to prove. Therefore, although I can't be sure that her words are accurate, but in general There shouldn't be too much deviation."

Ji Wuzhou nodded, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "If it is true as she said, the baby's corpse came from Sangcheng, then the clues may not be completely cut off."

Lu Ci was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "How to say?"

The deduction in Ji Wuzhou's mind is still only a rough idea, and whether it is feasible or not has yet to be verified, so he did not rush to answer, but put his hand on Lu Ci's shoulder to test the heat and cold, and after confirming that his body was warm, he walked towards Walk by the pool: "Let's go, live in another place tonight."

This move obviously had nothing to do with what he said just now, but Lu Ci understood what he meant like a tacit understanding - the place he was going now was probably related to the clues in his mouth.

Thinking of this, Lu Ci went ashore with him, dressed neatly, walked through the winding stone forest path, and returned to Half Moon Fort.

Ji Wuzhou went around to the front of the snow-white coral, took out a map of the human continent made up of talisman paper, and then naturally stretched out his hand towards Luci.

Lu Ci knowingly raised his hand to catch it, Ji Wuzhou clenched it tightly and then gently rubbed the talisman paper, white light appeared in the blink of an eye.

The white light in front of his eyes had not yet faded, but the sound of surging waves was heard in his ears. Lu Ci was a little surprised. After the white light disappeared, he took a closer look and found that they were standing at the foot of the mountain where the East Coast wine shop was located.

At this time, it was late night in the continent of the world, there was a moon and no stars, and the lonely moonlight shone on the surface of the sea, undulating with the waves, shimmering and twinkling.

Lu Ci asked strangely, "What are you doing here?"

Ji Wuzhou walked up the mountain, and said: "The prayer talisman cannot be sent directly to the secret realm, so I will rest here tonight, and I will take the deer boat to the sea tomorrow morning."

It suddenly dawned on Lu Ci that the range that the prayer talisman could transmit was only within the Human Continent. If they wanted to go to the secret realm, they had only two options, either by boat or by deer.

Comparing the two, Luyu is obviously more convenient, and when Jiang He came back to visit relatives, he brought Luyu here, so Ji Wuzhou brought him here.

Lu Ci followed closely: "The clue you said is in the secret realm?"

Ji Wuzhou said: "It's still not sure whether that can be counted as a clue, and we will know when we try it tomorrow."

Lu Ci didn't ask any more questions, and followed him all the way up the mountainside, and arrived at the wine shop in a short while.

Even though it was late at night, there was still faint candlelight in the windows of the restaurant, and there were deer parked in the small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences in front of the door. The three spiritual deer were glowing with a faint spiritual light, like phantoms in dreams in the night.

As soon as they saw the deer speech, the three spirit deer raised their hooves and wanted to move forward, but Jiang He tied their reins to a short stake in the yard, and the reins were pulled tight after taking two steps, and their steps were stopped in an instant , had no choice but to stomp his fore hoof on the spot in dissatisfaction.

Lu Ci stepped forward and patted their heads to appease them, while Ji Wuzhou went straight to the door, just as he raised his hand to knock, the wooden door suddenly opened, and a cold light dagger stabbed straight in!

Ji Wuzhou's figure didn't move at all, his half-raised hand suddenly raised up and raised his two fingers, and accurately clamped the blade firmly in the blink of an eye!

The assassin was startled, apparently he didn't expect his dagger to be blocked, just as his other hand was about to continue to attack, he suddenly saw the face of the comer and said in shock, "Tianshi?!"

This person was Jiang He, and he never expected that it would be Ji Wuzhou, and he was stunned in place as if struck by lightning.

Ji Wuzhou joked leisurely: "Isn't your vigilance too good?"

Jiang He immediately let go of the hand holding the dagger, wiped his forehead embarrassingly and said, "Hey, it's not all about being forced to—"

The voice stopped abruptly, because he happened to catch a glimpse of Lu Ci in the courtyard from the corner of his eye, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

After that, he looked at the three spirit deer, and suddenly said: "I said why the spirit deer suddenly became restless in the middle of the night, and I thought it was some uninvited guest."

Ji Wuzhou flipped the palm of his hand, held the blade between his fingers and handed back the handle of the knife, Jiang He raised his hand to hold it, picked up the hem of his clothes to wipe it, and then inserted it back into his waist.

Lu Ci was completely speechless after witnessing this inexplicable farce, and at this moment, he couldn't laugh or cry as he approached: "You didn't even look at who it was, just shot?"

Jiang He gave way to the door, confidently said: "This is all taught by the heavenly master, no matter who he comes, it is always right to strike first."

Ji Wuzhou's steps across the threshold suddenly stopped, and he tilted his head to correct him: "What I mean by preemptive attack is to let you restrain people, not to silence them."

Jiang He said bluntly: "I know, so I just wanted to put the knife on my neck, and didn't want to cut my throat directly!"

The corners of Lu Ci's mouth twitched, but Ji Wuzhou raised his eyebrows and said in agreement: "Yes, children can be taught."

Jiang He smiled triumphantly, glanced at Lu Ci provocatively, then turned his head and shouted upstairs: "Pu'er, come down!"

There was a sound of footsteps on the second floor, and the boy I met last time poked his head out from the corner of the stairs, and said in surprise, "Tianshi?"

After hastily walking the remaining half of the stairs, he saw Lu Ci behind Ji Wuzhou, and was as surprised as Jiang He: "Hey, why are you here?"

Lu Ci didn't bother to answer him, and looked at Jiang He curiously, "What did you call him just now?"

Jiang He said, "Tun'er, what's wrong?"

Lu Ci looked suspiciously at the boy: "Your name is... finless porpoise?"

The boy said, "No, my name is Fugu."

"Pfft," Lu Ci couldn't help but almost choked with laughter, coughing and laughing at the same time, "Why do your brothers have different surnames?"

Jiang He said: "What's so strange about this? At that time, I was young, and I didn't remember my last name for a long time. These two names were randomly chosen by the Heavenly Master later."

Lu Ci turned his head to look at Ji Wuzhou, but before he could speak, Ji Wuzhou said seriously: "It's not casual."

He glanced at Jiang He: "The reason why he was called Jiang He was because he was skinny and his limbs were as thin as a crane's legs, and the reason why his brother was called Fugu—because he looked like a puffer fish."

"Heavenly Master!" Fugu said dissatisfiedly while pouring tea for Ji Wuzhou with a teapot, "I was only a little fatter when I was young, how can I look like a fugu?"

Ji Wuzhou sat down at the table in a leisurely manner, and said, "Do you have any objections to this name?"

The pufferfish became dumb for a moment, curled its lips and said, "Not really."

Ji Wuzhou raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "Then what are you talking about?"

The pufferfish dared not speak out, the dumb puffed up its mouth like eating coptis, and its round and hairy head suddenly had the charm of a pufferfish.

Lu Ci couldn't help laughing beside him, thinking that Ji Wuzhou really deserves to be a disciple of the secret realm, and the way of naming it is strangely similar to that of his master Que Jinxian.

Just as he was thinking about it, as if he really had a heart-to-heart connection, Ji Wuzhou suddenly joked: "So, the names of the three of you seem to be in the same line."

Jiang He glanced at Lu Ci inexplicably, frowned and asked in doubt: "Isn't he called Song Zhong? How can he have anything to do with us?"

Ji Wuzhou picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said bluntly: "He is not Song Zhong, his name is Lu Ci, he is my fellow apprentice."

Jiang He and Fugu slowly turned their heads and stared at each other blankly, showing a look of disbelief at the same time, but Jiang He's mind turned very fast, and he became suspicious in an instant: "How is it possible? The disciple of the secret realm has reached the age of eighteen. Only then can he leave the continent, and he is about the same age as me, at most eight or nine years old ten years ago, so he was still on the continent when the secret realm was destroyed? Could it be that he is still a survivor?"

Lu Ci couldn't help feeling that Jiang He was really perceptive, he was able to figure out something strange in such a short period of time, and he questioned it logically.

He was just about to see how Ji Wuzhou would explain it, but unexpectedly Ji Wuzhou didn't intend to explain it at all: "It's a long story, I'll talk about it later when I have time. I'm telling you now just to let you know. I know his origin very well. It is also very clear that he has absolutely no malice towards me, so you don't need to work hard to defend against him in the future."

Jiang He immediately understood that he was referring to the news that "Song Zhong is going to Qingzhou" to the fairy palace. He glanced at Lu Ci with a slightly embarrassed expression, then lowered his head and hooked his nose in embarrassment: "I see, what did you say?" That's what it is."

For some reason, Lu Ci inexplicably had a sense of majesty, but it was more unexpected that Ji Wuzhou would specifically clarify the matter, and he couldn't help but look at him, with the word "thank you" clearly written in his eyes.

Puffer fish had been listening in a cloud of mist. At this time, Monk Zhanger looked back and forth at the three people's different expressions, blinked and said blankly: "So... Tianshi, you brought him here to tell us that he who is it?"

He raised his final voice, full of uncertain hesitation, as if he felt that this matter was too unimaginable.

Ji Wuzhou glanced at him expressionlessly, as if he was quite helpless towards this young man who grew up by his side but was so different from his elder brother in mind, and Jiang He followed his words to expose the topic, asked: "Why did the Celestial Master come here late at night?"

"Nothing important," Ji Wuzhou put down his cup and said, "We are going to Xihe Continent tomorrow, so we will stay here temporarily tonight."

Fugu didn't doubt that he was there, suddenly realized and said happily: "Then I will clean up the house for you!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran upstairs briskly in three steps and two steps.

Jiang He watched his back disappear around the corner of the stairs, and then asked, "Why are you going to Xihezhou all of a sudden?"

Ji Wuzhou didn't intend to hide it either: "There may be clues to the destruction of the secret realm in the continent, go and see."

If it were an ordinary person, the conversation would have almost ended here, but Jiang He is not an ordinary person after all, so he immediately asked: "Since there are clues, why didn't we pursue them for ten years and wait until now?"

His tone was not only eager, but even a little aggressive, as if this question not only puzzled him, but also made him very dissatisfied.

Why is he dissatisfied?

Lu Ci frowned slightly, and couldn't help turning his eyes to Ji Wuzhou, but at the moment when his eyes came into contact with Ji Wuzhou, he suddenly understood Jiang He's implication like an enlightenment—since there are clues that may clear your suspicion , why didn't you check it early, so that you have been infamous all these years?

Ji Wuzhou didn't take it seriously and said, "Since I'm only going now, it's because I just got a clue, so why ask?"

Jiang He was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be asking nonsense, and said awkwardly: "Then how can I help? How about I go with you tomorrow?"

Ji Wuzhou got up from the table: "No need, we don't know if the clues will be available, let's go and see tomorrow, if we can continue to track down you, it won't be too late to help."

Jiang He didn't say any more, nodded his head and turned around to extinguish all the candles on the first floor, and walked upstairs with the two of them.

There are only two rooms on the second floor of the restaurant, one is the residence of the two brothers Jiang He, and the other is the original residence of Ji Wuzhou.

Although Ji Wuzhou seldom came back these years, Fugu never favored one another when sweeping, so it is not troublesome to clean up when it is time to live, it is nothing more than changing the mattress and adding a pillow.

When the three of them walked upstairs, the pufferfish had already arranged everything neatly. They clapped their hands and turned around and said, "It's a coincidence that the Heavenly Master came today. All the quilts have just been dried in the sun during the day, and they are still fragrant!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked back at the bed, and said worriedly: "But in the past, the celestial master slept alone, will this bed be smaller? How about I take the quilt and make a floor bed?"

Lu Ci glanced at the bed, it didn't look too spacious but it was enough for two people to lie side by side, just about to tell him not to bother, Ji Wuzhou said indifferently: "It's okay, I won't be able to sleep for long at all."

Lu Ci originally thought that he meant that it was already midnight, and there was only one or two hours left before dawn, but after the two Jiang He brothers left and took them to the door, he realized that Ji Wuzhou's words were actually different. Have something to say.
