The strange case of the demon book

?The next day, Huo Wencai continued to bring the lantern when he was on duty, and Ma Wenrui arrived early.The two patrolled around and then went to eat something while waiting for dawn in the red house.When the morning sun rose, the city of Guangzhou came alive, and Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui went to eat something.When the bell of Guangzhou City Bell Tower rang nine o'clock, Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui greeted each other and went to Liu Qingyang to buy medicine with a lantern.When he arrived at Medicine Street, the lantern standing on Huo Wencai's shoulder saw Liu Qingyang who was selling medicine on Medicine Street from a distance, so he hurriedly called to Huo Wencai who was going to Liu Qingyang: "Stop, stop!"

"what happened?"

"I, I will go by myself." Lantern said softly.Judging from Lantern's words, Lantern seemed a little shy, Huo Wencai thought it was interesting and put down the lantern, and then Lantern carried two copper coins to Liu Qingyang, Huo Wencai looked at it from a certain distance.

When the lantern came to Liu Qingyang with two copper coins in his arms, he stammered and shyly said, "Master Liu, Master Liu."

Dr. Yunyou, who spread in the hidden world, is admired by the residents of the hidden world.The taste and feeling from Liu Qingyang made him feel like and close.

Liu Qingyang looked down at the puppet, then smiled: "The lantern demon."

"Master Liu, I'm here to buy medicine." The lantern demon looked up at Liu Qingyang.

"Oh, what medicine do you want?" Liu Qingyang asked with a smile.

"I, I want a medicine that can transform myself into a body." The Lantern Demon said cautiously and with a little joy.

"Okay." Liu Qingyang opened his medicine box and reached in, took out a pill and handed it to the Lantern Demon. The Lantern Demon took the pill carefully, and then handed the two copper coins to Liu Qingyang. Liu Qingyang only took one copper coin. : "One is enough." Liu Qingyang said.The Lantern Demon stuffed another copper round into his waist and sandwiched it between his belt and his body. He said happily: "Thank you, Master Liu, thank you, Master Liu. I have something I want to give to Master Liu."

Liu Qingyang smiled: "Okay."

The Lantern Demon conjured a small lantern from his hand and handed it to Liu Qingyang. He secretly made this lantern after he knew that Liu Qingyang was coming to Guangzhou City. Now that he finally sent it out as he wished, he felt very satisfied: "Give it to Mr. Liu."

Liu Qingyang took the small and exquisite lantern: "Thank you, I like it very much."

The Lantern Demon bowed to Liu Qingyang and said goodbye: "Goodbye, Mr. Liu."

"Goodbye."

The Lantern Demon bounced back to Huo Wencai, Huo Wencai watched, afraid that the pill in his hand would jump out.When Huo Wencai was here, Huo Wencai bent down and stretched out his hand, and the lantern jumped onto Huo Wencai's palm. Huo Wencai put him on his shoulder, looked at Liu Qingyang for a while, and then left.

On the way back to Taiping Street, the lantern seemed very excited. He happily whispered in Huo Wencai's ear. Huo Wencai was infected by the lantern's emotions. He smiled and asked, "You like that Doctor Liu so much."

"Well, we all like Master Liu."

He refers to us as all the inhabitants of the Hidden World.

"If you like it, why don't you follow him?"

"It can't be done." As for why it can't be done, he can't say it, anyway, it just can't be done.

Huo Wen only teased the lantern for a while, and the lantern proposed to take medicine, because the medicine can change shape, so it is necessary to find a place where no one is around to take the medicine.The first thing Huo Wencai thought of was Zhang Jue's house in a place where no one was around, and he could go back to the lantern and transform into another form, but the lantern was very excited, and Huo Wencai also wanted to see what the lantern would look like after it transformed.So, Huo Wencai went to Zhang's house with a lantern.Huo Wencai knocked on the door and the door opened automatically, Huo Wencai went in with a lantern and said loudly: "Zhang Jue!"

"in."

Huo Wencai took the lantern to the front hall and sat down carelessly: "Lantern, I have bought medicine."

The lantern excitedly jumped from Huo Wencai's body onto the table: "It's a shape-changing medicine."

Zhang Jue was surprised: "Really, this is a good thing." The medicine that can transform monsters into form is extraordinary, and Liu Qingyang did not expect Liu Qingyang to give it so easily.

"Lantern, eat it and show us." Huo Wen poked the small body of the lantern and said.The lantern jumped from the table to the ground: "I want to eat."

"it is good."

Huo Wencai was looking forward to it and became nervous again, not knowing what the lantern would look like.

The lantern held the pill, and then a soft red light radiated from the puppet. Following the light, the pill rose slowly, and the hazy fiery red figure that came out of the puppet stretched out a hand to catch the pill and stuffed it into it. He swallowed it in his own mouth.After he swallowed the pill, the figure of the lantern suddenly became clear——

A little boy about three years old, wearing a fiery red bellyband, with big eyes, looks very cute.

Huo Wencai's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, but then, Lantern's figure suddenly soared and turned into a handsome and tall young man, still dressed in red straight fir.The third change made Huo Wencai blush, because the third adult-changing lantern turned into a beautiful woman with her hair in a bun and a fiery red skirt with sleeves and skirts, bright eyes and bright teeth.

"He, he, she..." Huo Wen pointed to the woman in front of him.Isn't Lantern a man? How did he become a woman when he became an adult?Zhang Jue laughed at Huo Wencai's reaction.

With a "poof", the lantern turned into a three-year-old.He leaned on Huo Wencai's feet, hugged Huo Wencai's legs and acted like a baby: "Master."

Huo Wencai was stiff all over, and Huo Wencai looked at Zhang Jue for help.

Zhang Jue reached out and hugged the lantern into his arms: "Different from wild beasts, there is no gender in cultivating things into monsters."

Those wild beasts in the deep mountains cultivated into goblins. Their original identities were male and female, so they were also divided into male and female after they were formed.But the demons cultivated by trees, pens, lanterns, pipas, etc. have no gender.So when they take shape, they can turn into whoever they like.

It was only after Zhang Jue explained that Huo Wen was relieved, otherwise he would be ashamed to death as a big man sleeping naked every night and sharing a room with a banshee.

Huo Wencai held the lantern in front of his eyes: "Lantern, remember, don't become a girl at home, you know."

"En." Lantern nodded obediently.After hundreds of years in the human world, it was hard to cultivate a ray of consciousness and form, and the lantern was very excited.But before the lantern got excited, he returned to the puppet.

"What's going on?" Huo Wen picked up the doll.

"Although there is medicine, but with only 200 years of practice, it can only last for a while." Zhang Jue said.

The Lantern Demon's cultivation base is very low, and it takes thousands of years to cultivate into shape.It is useless to use the medicine to become a body now, but without a strong cultivation base to support his body.So relying on the medicine to become a body, it can only be done for a short period of time every day.

Still, Lantern was happy.He floated out of the puppet to face Huo Wencai and Zhang Jue.

It looks like a boy, this is his transformed form.Through the medicine, his form clearly appeared in front of them.

After Zhang Jue explained, Huo Wen suddenly realized: "You mean, only you, me, and those goblins can see the shape of the lantern, but the ordinary people outside can't see it. But because of the medicine, he has the ability to understand the shape of the lantern." , although it is short but everyone can see it.”

"Yes." Zhang Jue said.

The original shape of the lantern was not stable. Before Zhang Jue asked the lantern to trap Arthur Kirkland for him, the shape of the lantern was actually not stable at that time.But he still survived, and now because of the medicine, his form can appear completely and he can wander around without relying on the puppet.It would have been impossible to do this before.

Liu Qingyang didn't give Lantern the medicine for fully forming a body, probably because Lantern only had 200 years of cultivation, so he only gave him the medicine that can fully form but not fully form.

Cultivation depends on the individual, and the lantern still has a long way to go.

He was very happy to have a shaped lantern, and Huo Wencai was also happy for the lantern.He picked up the doll and stuffed it into his pocket: "Zhang Jue, I'm on patrol."

"Go."

"Lantern, let's go." Huo Wen waved to the fiery red body floating in mid-air.

"Here we come!" The boy excitedly followed Huo Wencai to Taiping Street.The lantern floated behind Huo Wencai and looked at the bustling world with wide eyes.

very nice.

Although he can't become a body now and is unknown to others, he is very happy that he doesn't need to rely on the doll now.

After Huo Wen returned to the red house, Lantern sat on the roof of the red house and watched the people coming and going on Taiping Street.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the lantern returned to the puppet and sat on Huo Wencai's shoulder.After Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui went to the police station to sign, they went to find Yuan Xi.Huo Wencai was thinking about what Jinghong asked him to do yesterday.From everyone's mouth, I know that Yuan Xi is not very good, but I don't know how bad it is.After all, there is no deep relationship, and it has nothing to do with Yuan Xi, so he can't interfere with Yuan Xi's affairs.

Otherwise, his man would have to make trouble for him.

Following the address Jinghong gave him, Huo Wen came to Ivory Street.Ivory Street is very lively, and all the businessmen from inside and outside are coming and going.The ivory merchants on both sides of the street are filled with ivory sculptures, and the ivory carved by craftsmen is very attractive.

When Huo Wencai was working with Yuan Xi, who was standing in the reception hall in front of the merchant, the receptionist had a strange smile on his face: "Master Patrolman, I advise you not to go to that crazy woman."

Huo Wencai frowned: "Just tell me where she is."

The waiter felt bored, so he pointed to the last house and said, "That's it."

After getting the place, a bungalow appeared in front of him, and Huo Wen raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Boom, boom, boom!"

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside.

"Looking for someone." Huo Wen replied.

A woman's footsteps were heard inside, and the door opened.The one who opened the door was one of the few women who were with Brother Qiu. She saw Huo Wencai in a police uniform and asked unkindly: "Master Patrolman, please come back if you have nothing to do. If you are looking for Brother Qiu, go to the door." Floating Market."

Huo Wencai followed the woman's words: "I'm looking for Yuan Xi."

"What do you want from her?" The woman said defensively, obviously not welcoming Huo Wencai's arrival.Seeing that he was wearing a patrol uniform, he thought he was here to trouble brother Qiu, but he didn't expect to be looking for Yuan Xi.
