Mountain and Sea Miles

This night, Maomao slept very soundly. Although he was in the wild, the warmth of the bonfire drove away the coldness of the night, and he seemed to be touching his smooth fur, which was really warm...

Um? ?

He remembered that he didn't have a shape change, so he wouldn't change back to his original shape when he fell asleep! !

Maomao's mind, which was still a little dazed, woke up instantly, opened his eyes and sat up suddenly, raised his hands to look.

Fortunately, okay, the hand is still there, and the human form is still there.

Patting his chest and putting his heart back, Mao Mao noticed that the wool he touched before was a pure white blanket covering his body, the wool on that blanket was so thin and soft, so pure and flawless that it almost glowed Mao Mao who is very satisfied with his fur has to admit that the fur on this blanket is better than his fur.

Woo, I couldn't help it, I reached out and touched it again.

"woke up?"

Lu Jianwu's voice came from behind, and Mao Mao, who was intoxicated by the feeling of hair, woke up, quickly grabbed the blanket and stood up, turned around and said: "Good morning, Mr. Jianwu!"

Lu Jianwu nodded, walked over and waved his hand lightly, and performed a cleaning technique on Mao Mao who was still unable to use his spiritual power, "Then get ready to go, Li Luo will be back in a while."

Maomao nodded, pulled the blanket in his hand for a while and thought about it, then handed it back to Lu Jianwu, "This, thank you Lord Jianwu."

Lu Jianwu saw that he seemed to be reluctant to scratch his hand, so he said: "If you like it, keep it."

Mao Mao's eyes lit up, "Really? Can I keep it?"

"Yeah." Lu Jianwu nodded indifferently.

The branches of the fire had been burnt to an end, Lu Jianwu extinguished the fire with his hands, and walked forward, while Mao Mao happily hugged the blanket, folded it carefully, and put it in his small Qiankun bag.

Although it was just a blanket, it was the first gift Lord Jianwu gave him!He must keep it well!

Not long after the fire was extinguished, Li Luo, who hadn't come back all night, also came back shaking his arms, and the three of them got on the wine gourd again after a little rest and set off.This time was much faster than yesterday, and they entered Qingzhou before noon, and it was not easy to show off while sitting on the magic weapon when entering the city, so they put away the magic weapon and walked all the way to the city gate not far outside the city.

Although it's not the first time Mao Mao has come to a human city, he is still full of curiosity about many things. He always pokes his head to look left and right when he walks two steps. .

Li Luo is still dressed as a monk, although he is not as well-behaved as other monks, but because of his unruly temperament, he has a sense of immortality, which makes people feel that he is very powerful.

Lu Jianwu was walking on the left side of Li Luo in a light brown gown. He was cold and indifferent, and he was even more difficult to get close to when he was not talking. But when he saw Mao Mao looking around, there was a trace of warmth in his eyes. meaning.

As for Maomao, because ordinary blindfolding methods are not effective for ordinary monsters, and it is not good to let Lu Jianwu always attach demon power to him to scare other little monsters, so this time he specially wrapped a white square scarf around his head Covering his two cat ears, he looks like a little book boy following the young master.

After entering the city, Li Luo took Lu Jianwu and Mao Mao all the way to the county government office, and Wei Wencheng, the county magistrate of Qingzhou who had already received the letter from Li Luo, also sent someone out to greet them, and invited the three of them in politely. The office area behind the yamen.

The office area is in the second hall, the middle row is the office room, and the left and right sides are wing rooms for the yamen servants, staff, and servants in the yamen; in the front is the court where the yamen tries cases, and in the back is the county magistrate's residence. However, because Wei Wencheng was married and lived with his wife, he did not live in the small courtyard of the back house, but opened another mansion, and only occasionally rested in the backyard when the yamen was busy. The case has not been closed for almost a month, and he may not have been back to his house for a long time.

The boy who led the way led the three of them to the room on the left, and served them tea before retreating. Not long after, a middle-aged man in official uniform hurriedly stepped into the room from the door.

"Li Luo!"

"Brother Wei." Li Luo stood up and bowed decently when he saw someone coming in.

Wei Wencheng stopped with a wave of his hand, "You don't need to be polite. You said you would go back and ask for help. Did you get it?" Wei Wencheng quietly looked at Lu Jianwu and Mao Mao, and frowned slightly: These two people She looks younger than Li Luo, is she reliable?

Li Luo said with a smile: "Brother Wei, don't worry, this is my senior uncle. Mr. Lu's ability is extraordinary, and no evil spirits can hide under his hands."

This is what they discussed before they entered the city. The demon suppressor has prestige among the demon clan, but his reputation in the world is not obvious, not to mention that most human beings are afraid of demons and guard against them. For the sake of convenience, they still pretend to be He became a member of Guizanghui, and asked Lu Jianwu to participate in the case as Li Luo's uncle.

Wei Wencheng was a little relieved when he heard the words. He knew that people who practiced immortality and Taoism often appeared much younger than their actual age in appearance, so they could not judge people by their appearance. For example, Li Luo, who looked only in his twenties, was actually 35 years old. After being introduced by him, he naturally regarded Lu Jianwu as a master with good looks, and immediately bowed respectfully, "Master Lu is very polite."

"You're welcome." Lu Jianwu said lightly.

Wei Wencheng was not dissatisfied with Lu Jianwu's indifferent attitude, on the contrary, because of this, he believed in the identity of the other party's master, and his attitude was more sincere. He wanted to ask about Mao Mao's identity and say hello, but Li Luo went first. He interrupted him with a loud voice: "Okay, okay, let's save the polite words, Brother Wei, tell me first, can you make any progress during this time?"

When Wei Wencheng heard it, he sat down and sighed first, and then said: "After you left last time, I have asked the Bai family to temporarily seal Miss Bai's house according to your instructions, and sent someone to guard it. Now no one has been let in or out. Yes, but Bai Wenqi has come to the Yamen to ask questions many times, if there is no progress, I am afraid that he will find someone to make trouble."

Li Luo knocked on the table and said, "Don't worry, I'll take my uncle to have a look later, and I'll know what's causing the trouble, but after we entered the city, we found that there seemed to be something strange in the city, there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the street. What happened again?"

Wei Wencheng's face became more serious now, his brows were tightly frowned with exhaustion, and he said slowly after a moment of silence: "Two days ago, someone came to the yamen to report that a family member was missing. , there are already three of them."

Hearing this, Li Luo's expression also changed, and he frowned tightly and asked, "Did it happen in the few days since I left?"

"No." Wei Wencheng shook his head slightly, "There are two missing cases reported today. One is the widow Qiu in the west of the city. She lives alone on weekdays and has a good relationship with her neighbors. She once told people that she will return to her natal home soon. She lived here for a short period of time, so no one doubted her absence for more than a month. It was not until her natal family waited for her for a long time and sent someone here to search for her. Only then did she find that she had been missing for more than a month. As for the other person... Alas!" Wei Wencheng sighed deeply again as he spoke, and continued after a pause: "This person also has some connections with my family, she used to be my wife's personal maid, Qian Bi."

"Personal maid?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, seeing Wei Wencheng nodding, he continued to ask, "When did the maid disappear?"

Wei Wencheng rubbed his forehead, and replied: "That Qianbi has been with my wife for many years, but she left my house two months ago. My wife said that the old man in her family was sick, and she wanted to ask for leave to go back and have a look. Madam pity her." She was filial, so she simply returned her deed of sale and even gave her a sum of money to return to her hometown to take care of the sick, but she never expected that she would not be able to return home after leaving. I met my sister at the house to say hello, but no one has found out so far."

After hearing this, Li Luo frowned tightly. He thought it was just a woman missing, but he didn't expect that there were other victims. This case is getting more and more serious. He thought for a while, and asked again: "Just According to the current investigation, do these three missing women have anything in common?"

Wei Wencheng still shook his head: "The yamen has retrieved all the biographical information of the three people, and interviewed many people, but there is no other similarity except that they are all young women. Thieves come and go, so recently, families with women are very careful."

"They're all women..." Li Luo chewed his words and thought about it carefully. If it's a monster that eats people, I've never heard of a monster that only eats young women so fastidiously. Qiongqi, it is rumored that it eats people and only eats the head, and does not touch the body, but there has never been a distinction between men and women, let alone... Li Luo took a peek at Lu Jianwu, thinking, according to the records in the meeting, Qiongqi has been around for thousands of years. It has not been cannibalistic for a hundred years.

Sensing Li Luo's gaze and knowing the guess in the other party's heart, Lu Jianwu stood up and said to the two, "Let's go and see the scene first."

Li Luo also put away his thoughts, got up and nodded and said: "What you said is, brother Wei will take us into the White Mansion to go to the courtyard where Miss Bai disappeared first, and then take a look."

Wei Wencheng hurriedly got up, took the three of them out, and sent the yamen servants to the White House to take care of it.

When they were talking about business before, Maomao was bored but sat on the sidelines and listened obediently. Now that he was going to the scene, he naturally followed Lu Jianwu to go together, but after going out, Lu Jianwu He raised his hand and stopped him.

Maomao looked puzzled: "Master Jianwu?"

Lu Jianwu looked at him, and said lightly: "You go to an inn to book a room first, and go around by yourself, you don't need to follow."

Mao Mao frowned, and was about to say that he would follow the other party to record all the details and go back to report to Zou Yu, but Li Luo suddenly patted him on the shoulder, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Little Mao Mao, just be obedient and go to the inn first Well, there may be a big monster in the White Mansion, I heard that your spiritual power is not working right now, Lord Jianwu is afraid that you will not be able to withstand the monster energy, don't worry, I will follow this time, and I will tell Zou Yu if there is a situation."

There was nothing wrong with going back to Yuan Mansion last time.Maomao said in his heart, still wanting to follow without giving up, looking up at Lu Jianwu.

Seeing Mao Mao like this, Lu Jianwu couldn't help softening his expression, and patted Mao Mao's head through the scarf, "Go, I will go to you later, and I will crush the name tag if I have something to do."

Maomao struggled to no avail, curled her lips in grievance, although she was a little disappointed, she obediently said "oh", and temporarily separated from the two.
