The Bone Owl let out a loud, harsh voice, as if its throat had been hoarse.

Rong Li looked at it in surprise, and recognized that it was a bird from Cangming City, very similar to the one Hua Su drew last time.She hurriedly got out of the bathtub, stood behind the screen and wrapped herself in clothes, and then went to open the window a little so that the bird could come in.

The Bone Owl flew into the room, grasping the screen with its two claws, folded its wings, its eyes were red, and it was eerie.

Rong Li squeezed the skirt of his clothes tightly, closed the window and looked at Hua Su, and asked softly, "Is this the bird you know?"

As soon as these words came out, Hua Su smiled lowly in her ear, different from his usual indifferent and disdainful expression, the smile was very brisk, he must have been amused.

Rong Li didn't know what the ghost was laughing at, she turned her head and secretly looked at the bone owl standing obediently on the screen, and then met those red eyes, she was stunned, and suddenly looked away.

If the bone owl's skin and flesh had grown better, and its feathers more dense, it would have looked much better. The current appearance is still too shabby, as if it is half dead, but it is still alive and kicking.

The black cat jumped down from the window sill, and with blue eyes raised coldly, it approached the screen step by step.

The Bone Owl on the screen uttered another cry. Its two feet were originally far apart. Seeing the cat approaching, it suddenly moved its feet together, as if standing for punishment.

Hua Su snorted, "For you are acquainted, you didn't use your real body to come in."

Rong Li understands, the bone owl is like Hua Su, taking up the body of something else, it's not what it was originally.

The really shabby-looking bird tilted its head and screamed hoarsely.

Rong Li's bare feet were a little cold, and her toes curled up slightly, but unfortunately she couldn't understand what the bone owl was saying, and couldn't make out the meaning after a while.

The bone owl standing on the screen blew a few more times, really short.

Hua Su looked up at it, and said softly, "Come down, do you still want me to look at you?"

The Bone Owl reluctantly flew down from the screen and stood neatly in front of the little black cat. Thick black smoke rose from its body, as if it was about to condense into a human shape. The black mist was cloudy and dense, and immediately A chilly wind blew up, causing things in the room to clank, and the cup on the table was blown away a few inches.

Seeing that the figure was about to condense, Hua Su suddenly said, "Don't come out."

The circulating black mist suddenly paused and did not continue to condense.

The black cat squatting on the ground suddenly opened its mouth, exhaled lightly, and forcefully blew away the lingering black mist.

The scattered black mist rolled down and poured back into the bone owl's body.

Hua Su said unwillingly: "You must not forcefully break through this knot, and let the knot master enter reincarnation with peace of mind."

Rong Li lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. I don't know why Hua Su suddenly became kind, and deliberately abducted her into this knot, and asked her to release Dan Xuan's obsession, for what reason...

Is it because of her?

The Bone Owl tilted its head and yelled twice in surprise, its eyes occupying half of its face stared straight at it, with an expression of disbelief.

Hua Su snorted in disgust, "Speak human."

The bone owl immediately said: "I have never seen the Lord so kind, open your eyes." The voice was gentle, it was a man.

Let's have fun in the heart, these words don't seem to be a compliment at all, and Hua Su's subordinates are in the same line as him.

The Bone Owl spoke slowly, like singing a song, if he had no patience, he would have turned around and walked away before he could finish speaking.He said: "My lord, it is really dangerous for me to go out of the city this time. Inside and outside Cangming City are Shen Du's eyes and ears."

"I've expected this." Hua Su didn't care.

Bone Owl said again: "General Gu Cen has left the city a few days ago and took away some of the Lord's old troops, but I don't know where General Gu Cen has gone, and I don't know if the general has met the Lord."

This man not only speaks slowly, but also babbles, which is annoying to listen to. Even though Rongli is used to dealing with people in Rongfu, it is very uncomfortable to listen to.

Hua Su was very calm, probably because she was used to hearing this ghost's words, Bitong raised her eyes lazily, "No, the city she left a few days ago? When did you arrive?"

Rong Li pinched the front of his shirt, vaguely feeling that he should avoid suspicion, so he turned around lightly, only took two steps before he was stopped.

Hua Su glanced over, "Where are you going?"

Rong Li paused for a while, then whispered: "Aren't you guys talking about business, this should not be something I can hear."

"It doesn't matter." Hua Su said again: "You are here, how dare you run around here?"

Rong Li responded, and sat at the table cautiously, pushing back the cup that had just been blown to the edge of the table by the wind.

The bone owl was very curious about her, and turned his head to look at her again, his pair of blood red eyes were very lively.

Hua Su said indifferently: "You shouldn't be looking at something."

Bone Owl froze, and turned back hastily, "About two months ago, after Luo Xia left the city, the general also left Cangming City. The general dismissed it. Afterwards, Shendu fought with the general, and although the general was injured, he still left from Lingdu with the Lord's old troops."

"Two months ago." Hua Su read softly.

The Bone Owl nodded solemnly, "General Gu Cen hasn't heard from him since he left the city."

"She never came to look for me." Hua Su said in a serious tone, "Did she leave anything behind before she left?"

The Bone Owl lowered its head and pecked at the ragged feathers a few times with its sharp beak, as if it was going to peck itself bald. After a while, it took out a piece of bamboo.

Rong Li sat far away, she didn't want to hear it, but she has surprisingly good hearing, so she could hear clearly.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Bone Owl pecking for a long time, and the sharp beak pecked itself into a bloody mess, which made her unable to bear to look at it.

The bamboo slices are thin and long, and at first glance you can't tell it's bamboo, because the surface is as black as ink, and the black is so uniform that you can't even see the texture of bamboo.But when the bone owl let go, the bamboo piece fell to the ground, and it happened to be turned over. The inside was white and clean, not stained with ink at all, and people could tell at a glance that it was peeled from bamboo.

It's not the first time for Rong Li to see such a black bamboo, the painting ghost lying in her sleeve pocket, isn't it just like this.

Hua Su nestled in Chuizhu's body, lifted up the soft feet of Chuizhu, and pressed them on the bamboo.

Bone Owl said: "General Gu Cen only kept this thing. I don't understand what it means, but I dare not throw it away, so I always carry it close to my body, so that I can present it to the Lord at a good time. Apart from this thing, the general will use it as a gift. Nothing was left."

"She went to find Hua Sui." Hua Su said indifferently.

Bone Owl suddenly realized, "That's what it means. I had a lot of guesses before, and I thought that General Gu Cen had found a way to create another painting ghost for the Lord."

"It's really you." Hua Su snorted lightly, "If she had this ability, she would have driven Shen Du out of Cangming City long ago."

The Bone Owl said dryly: "I died early, and I have little knowledge. Forgive me, Lord."

Hua Su was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking.The black cat stood motionless, its green eyes staring at a certain place without blinking.

Rong Li was thinking about whether to speak, but the room was too quiet at this moment, and she didn't dare to break the silence for a while.She looked at Hua Su, then at the bone owl, and simply said in a soft voice: "If you want to look for a painting ghost, then she must have been to Qi'an. You went to Jingyin Temple before, and you didn't know Luo Xia Seriously injured, could the one who seriously injured her be the General Gucen you speak of?"

Bone Owl was shocked, "Have you seen Luo Xia?"

"During this period of time, she has been cheating me a lot." Hua Su said lightly.

Thick black mist rose from the bone owl's body again, obviously out of anger, but it took only a moment, and then shrank back by itself, "A few days ago, Shen Du said that if Luo Xia can capture the master, she will She was appointed General Protector of the Dharma."

Hua Su smiled disdainfully, "She dares to think about it."

"My lord, how far has your power recovered now?" Bone Owl asked in a low voice.

The black cat squatting on the ground turned its head and looked at the person sitting at the table, then closed its eyes, suppressed its anger and said with a gritted teeth, "Forty percent, but it's enough to deal with one Luo Xia."

"It's better to let the subordinate follow the master..." the bone owl said slowly.

"No need." The black cat opened its blue eyes, "Stay in Cangming City and watch over Shendu for me. Gu Cen has left, so you have to keep your eyes in the city."

Rong Li's hands on the rim of the cup trembled, he thought the ghost had almost recovered, but only now did he realize that there were only four floors.After all, she is a mortal, and after thinking about it, she doesn't know how much the power of the four successes is, and it should not be able to do it.

The Bone Owl could only nod his head, "This subordinate is bold, I don't know what the Lord's plan is going to be."

"Healing." Hua Su didn't say much.

The Bone Owl shook its sparsely feathered wings, "It's okay, now that Shendu can't get the ghost king seal, he can't climb the bone base. I heard that he has sent a lot of generals in recent days, and among them is the Tianzhen Phoenix. Tail, Fengwei and Luo Xia have always been at odds, so you might as well give them a hand and let them fight against each other first."

"I have my own way." Hua Su pondered, "Guan Tianzhen? It turned out to be her."

The Bone Owl was surprised, "Why, the lord has met a phoenix tail?"

"She set up a formation in Qi'an, but I got rid of her." Hua Su said lightly.

The Bone Owl heaved a sigh of relief, "I don't know what kind of array is laid?"

Hua Su said calmly, "Do you know how I got here?"

After saying this, the bone owl suddenly stopped.

Hua Su smiled coldly, "Little trick, this phoenix tail has learned the eight-point image, but unfortunately I solved it, but she hid her tracks very well, and I searched around but couldn't find her."

"Why worry about looking for her, she is working hard for Shen Du now, and Shen Du can still use her, she will show up." Bai Bone Owl said.It looked at the sickly mortal woman at the table without any trace, and boldly asked, "I don't know why the lord keeps a mortal by his side and still takes care of him like this."

"Who allows you to be so lenient?" The black cat narrowed its eyes slightly.

The Bone Owl took a step back abruptly, "If the Lord has nothing else to say, I will go back to Cangming City first. I've been away from the city for too long, and Shen Du might become suspicious."

"Go." Hua Su didn't intend to keep him.

The Bone Owl did not show any reluctance, turned around and crashed out of the window.At that moment, a bird that was already bloody and mutilated suddenly seemed to be torn apart, and it was cut into a bloody mist that fluttered down and fell, and sporadic blood spots were still stained on the window sill.

Rong Li stood up, staring blankly at the vermilion blood and pieces of flesh falling down outside the window, his eyes were wide open, and his heart jumped into his throat.

"he……"

"It's okay, he shared a ray of consciousness, but it's a pity that this bone owl was lost." Hua Su didn't care.

Rong Li didn't know what this consciousness was, but after hearing Hua Su's calm tone, thinking that the ghost was probably not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said dully, "I thought he was going to die."

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Hua Su said lightly.

Rong Li couldn't figure out why this ancestor was upset again, he squeezed his fingers, and secretly raised his eyes.After hearing so many things she shouldn't have heard, she didn't know what to say for a while.

Hua Su said indifferently: "But when we meet for the first time, you are still worried about the life and death of that other person."

Rong Li said seriously: "That bone owl doesn't seem to be human."

Hua Su choked on these words, thinking about that thing is really not human, she was really confused by this sharp-tongued girl, so she had to say: "Forget it, I don't care about these words."

Rongli's hair was still wet, water was dripping from the tip of his hair, most of the cloth on his shoulders and back were soaked, and the clothes there were very thin, revealing his jade-like complexion.She sneezed lightly, and then she suddenly felt cold.

Hua Su turned her back and shook her cat's tail, "Is the water still warm?"

Rong Li pinched the skirt of his clothes, plunged his hands into the water and stirred it, "It's still hot."

"I just went in just now, and the bird came at the wrong time." Hua Su said disgustedly, "You can soak in the water again to take the chill off your body, so as not to get sick from the cold."

Rong Li took a soak for a while, changed into clean clothes, and lay down on the bed cautiously.She didn't want to sleep at first, but she was overwhelmed by drowsiness, which made her dizzy, her eyelids were already drooping, and she fell asleep as soon as she closed them.

The next morning, Rong Li almost couldn't wake up, he felt dizzy before he opened his eyes, and his whole body was extremely weak, as if he had been run over by an axle.She felt something fluffy protruding from the side of her face. It had whiskers, and it tickled the base of her ears.

But the eyelids are so heavy that they can't be opened no matter what.

Rong Li's head was groggy, his intuition was not right, he hastily grasped the painting ghost that was pressed under the pillow before going to bed, and only then did he wake up a bit.

She sat up and saw Chuizhu sitting beside the pillow, sitting upright, as if it wasn't the one who had just pushed her head against her face.

Looking at the cat's cold eyes, the cat's face inexplicably showed a bit of disdain.

Where is the pendant bead, it is clearly Hua Su.

Rong Li felt exhausted, sat up with difficulty while holding the painting, and couldn't figure out why he suddenly fell ill.Although she was weak, she came out of the bathtub without even drying her body last night, and she was frozen for a long time, but since she made a contract with the painting ghost, her complexion has improved a little, and she is not weaker than before , how could even a little bit of cold wind be blowing badly.

She felt surprised, raised her hand to cover her head and asked, "What's wrong with me."

"You should ask Dan Xuan." Hua Su said.

Rong Li coughed, his brain hurting from coughing, and he asked again: "Is it because of her?"

"Naturally." Hua Su said.

Seeing that the sky was already high in the sun, the three girls hadn't knocked on the door yet, and they still couldn't wake up after thinking about it.

Rong Li panted for a while with his head down, coughed again after a while, his throat was almost hoarse.

The cup and teapot on the table started to move by themselves, and the water gurgled from the spout and fell into the cup.The cup full of water floated over from a distance, hanging by Rongli's hand.

A cloud of black mist wrapped around the bottom of the cup, one could tell it was Hua Su's handwriting.

Rong Li stared at it for a while, not wanting to reach out to pick it up.

"Using the technique of purifying objects, do you still dislike it?" Hua Su said suddenly.

Only then did Rong Li take it, lowered his head and took a sip, moistened his throat and hurriedly finished the drink.Her eyelids were still very heavy, not only her body was hot, but her face was also hot, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere.

The door sounded, Xiao Er said outside: "Girl, breakfast is here."

"Come in." Rongli said softly, enduring the discomfort in his throat.

Xiaoer pushed the door open and entered the room, put the tray on the table, and looked back, "Young lady, you don't look very well, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I'm sick." Rong Li said in a low voice.

Xiao Er murmured: "We can't even find a doctor here, so what should we do?"

"It seems that we should leave earlier, I still have to go to the imperial city." When Rong Li mentioned the word "imperial city", he deliberately paused.

Xiao Er set up the bowl and chopsticks, "But this place is still far away from the imperial city, how can the girl endure the bumpy road?"

"It's okay, I always have to go. It's the first time I've been back to the imperial city." Rong Li looked around. In the past, it was Xiaofu who waited on her, and she could wash up as soon as she woke up. There are no basins for water.

Xiaoer replied: "The shopkeeper is from the imperial city, which is much more lively than Qi'an."

"Then why did the shopkeeper come to this place? It's not very good in the imperial city." Rong Li's face was pale, and he seemed to have no energy, with his arms propped vacantly by his side.

Hua Su saw that the girl was talking nonsense again, so she sat on the side calmly.

Xiaoer said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper hasn't said this to Xiaoer, but she...should want to go back to the imperial city, and she looks out of the window every day."

Rong Li followed for a while, "Looking out the window, could it be that you are waiting for someone?"

"You little one doesn't know." Xiao Er shook her head, looked back to see that she was still sitting by the bed, raised her hand and patted her head, "I forgot to fetch water for the girl, I'll go right away."

"It's okay, don't worry." Rong Li watched him walk out of the room, barely stood up and walked to the mirror table, combing his hair with a wooden comb.

The black cat jumped onto the table and blew a mouthful of black mist into her face. The black mist poured into the center of her eyebrows, exhausting her whole body.

Only then did Rong Li feel a little better, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Hua Su said lightly, "You don't need to say thank you."

After a while, Xiaoer really came with a wooden basin, and a veil was placed beside the basin, and said: "The shopkeeper heard that the girl is ill, and said that the rent for the next few days will be waived. When the girl recovers, I will wait for you." Let's go, it's a long road, and the girls' families can't avoid suffering."

Rong Li turned his head and smiled, "The shopkeeper is kind, so I have to thank you face to face. I wanted to go to the city to buy some medicinal materials for the shopkeeper, but now it seems that I can't buy it."

"Miss, you're welcome." Xiaoer also laughed, put down the tub and left.

Hua Su said from the side: "She just didn't want you to leave, which made you sick like this. Speaking of which, there are mortals who stray into the hearts of demons and ghosts every year, so it's not uncommon."

She paused, and then said: "These mortals get into their hearts by mistake, and they are often not killed by ghosts, but by..."

"What?" Rong Li's pupils trembled.

Huasi lowered his voice, as if deliberately scaring people, "I'm starving to death."

Rong Li shrank his fingers suddenly, "But I don't feel hungry right now."

Hua Su scoffed, "If a ghost wants to deceive a mortal, it's not easy."

Rong Li said that he would thank her in person, so he really knocked on Dan Xuan's door, and the black cat followed her lightly, walking leisurely.

Danxuan in the room responded, and opened the door to greet her personally, "I heard that the girl is sick?"

"Perhaps it was because of the cold last night." Looking at Dan Xuan's face that somewhat resembled hers, Rong Li couldn't help being stunned again.

Danxuan shook her head, "If you're sick, you won't be able to leave. It would be better if someone came to pick you up."

Rong Li squinted his eyes slightly, and then lost his expression for a moment, following her words, he said: "I am waiting for someone, the shopkeeper is sick and insists on staying in the inn, could it be that I am also waiting for someone?"
