Mountain and Sea Miles

After parting from Lu Jianwu, Maomao lost all energy, and the cheerful smile when he first entered the city disappeared.But he still didn't forget Lu Jianwu's explanation, asked the boy for the direction of the inn, and went there listlessly.

After booking the room, Mao Mao, who had nothing to do, wandered around the street twice, and walked slowly to a small lake.This is a place with better scenery in Qingzhou City. Usually there will be many people enjoying the scenery here, and even girls from rich families will go out for an outing together with veiled hats. In panic, there are few people by the lake, and occasionally some passers-by are men.

Mao Mao was in a bad mood, and it happened that there were few people here, so he unconsciously walked to the lake.

The weeping willows on the bank swayed gently in the breeze, swaying in front of his eyes like cat teasing, which made Mao Mao, who was already a little emotional, even more irritable.He casually picked up the stones on the shore and threw them towards the center of the lake. The water splashed by the stones swayed from the lake to the surroundings, creating layers of ripples, just like the waves in his heart at this time. Lip complained in a low voice: "It's all because of that inexplicable broken bead."

Before, he followed Zou Yu to find Lu Jianwu in order to relieve the suppression of Zhuzi and restore his spiritual power, but after meeting Lu Jianwu, he found that this was the object of gratitude he had kept in his heart for 200 years. The matter was not so urgent, he even thought, if the matter of the bead dragged on a little longer, he could stay by Lu Jianwu's side for a little longer, that would be great.

But now, if he can't do anything by the other party's side, and he is "disgusted" because he can't use his spiritual power, that's not good at all. He began to hope that he could recover his spiritual power as soon as possible, at least... at least he can do it. Hold back and play the role of following Lu Jianwu.

Mao Mao lowered her head, thinking dejectedly.

Perhaps because the desire was too strong, he suddenly felt a certain place in his body beating, and there was an indescribable sense of wonder, like a surge of spiritual power, but it was different from before, but he hadn't grasped this yet. The source of the feeling, it disappeared in an instant.Maomao rubbed her chest and stared blankly at the lake, not knowing why.

But since it was related to spiritual power, he naturally wouldn't give up so quickly. He closed his eyes and tried to mobilize the inner alchemy. However, the seal that Lu Jianwu had placed before firmly suppressed his inner alchemy, and his mobilization was useless. You can't break the seal rashly, you can only give up in the end, and wait until you go back and talk to Lu Jianwu about the situation.He took a deep breath and let it out, kicked off the gravel at his feet to vent, and turned to leave.

However, when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a gray figure standing by the lake from the corner of his eye, as if he was about to step towards the center of the lake next step.

"Hey! There's no way ahead!" Startled, Maomao ran a few steps forward and shouted at the people by the lake.

When he ran close, he realized that not only was the man dressed in gray, but his hair was also dull gray, and his eyes were covered with a circle of gray cloth strips. Looking at the cloth strips, Maomao subconsciously thought that the other party was invisible, and hurriedly grabbed him. He took two steps back with his arm, and explained: "You can't go any further, there is a lake in front of you, if you go any further, you will fall."

The man in gray was stunned for a moment when he was pulled by Mao Mao, but then he regained his composure. He didn't express much expression on his face from the beginning to the end.

Maomao didn't care either. He felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when he saw this person. Thinking that he was going back too, he kindly asked, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

The man in gray still didn't speak, just stared at Maomao as if he was observing something, if his eyes were not covered with cloth, Maomao would think that the other party was staring at him.

Just when Maomao was about to ask again, the man in gray suddenly hooked the corner of his mouth very shallowly, and a gentle voice came out of his mouth: "So it's here."

"Ah?" Maomao blinked blankly, not quite understanding what the other party meant.

The man in gray didn't reply to Maomao, but "looked at" Maomao with some doubts and asked softly, "Cat demon?"

Mao Mao stared, and subconsciously reached out to touch his ears on the top of his head, but they were still well hidden in the square scarf, so how did the other party see his true form all of a sudden? !He looked suspiciously at the man in gray. The cloth on the man's eyes was so thick that he couldn't see the shape of the eyes at all. Thinking of this, he might not have seen him through his eyes.

Could it be that the other party is also a big monster?

For a while, Mao Mao had countless thoughts in his mind, and he was a little more curious and guessing about the identity of the man in gray, but even if he guessed that the other party was a big monster, he was not afraid, just because he had a little inexplicable feeling for this man. In addition, Lu Jianwu is not far from the city, if there is anything he needs to secretly crush the nameplate, Lu Jianwu can rush there, so he is relatively more courageous.

Mao Mao quietly looked at the man in gray, but the man in gray didn't care, he just slowly raised his hand, facing Mao Mao's chest, and said in a very soft voice: "Since I met, I will take it back."

At this moment, a wave of spiritual power suddenly came from the east of the city. Mao Mao, who had no spiritual power, didn't notice it, but the man in gray who was about to move paused, glanced towards the east, and said softly. He muttered, "So you are here, Lu Wu."

The man in gray said these two sentences very softly, Mao Mao didn't hear the content clearly, but saw the other party raised his hand to him, thinking that the other party needed his help, after a moment of stunned, he took two steps forward naturally, Holding the hand of the man in gray, he said innocently, "Do you want my help? Where are you going?"

The man in gray turned his head back to look at Mao Mao, and then looked down at the hand being held. Although he was blindfolded, he seemed to be able to see it again. After a while, he smiled again, raised his head and said to Mao Mao A normal sentence: "I'm out of town, please, little cat demon."

At first, Maomao raised a happy smile when the other party finally said something he could understand, but then he heard the other party call himself a little cat demon, and then his face fell down, and he said unhappily: "You are like this!" Very rude!"

Although he named himself Lu Xiaomao, it was because Lu Jianwu called him that, and he liked it, but when others called him "little cat demon", he always felt that they were looking down on him, and he didn't like.

The gray-clothed man chuckled, and apologized to Maomao politely: "I'm sorry, but what's your name, young master?"

Maomao lost his temper as soon as others apologized, and replied with a smile: "My name is Maomao." As he said that, he helped the man in gray to turn around and walk away, away from the lake, and asked the question in his heart, "You didn't see me You know that I am a cat demon, are you a very powerful big demon?"

The man in gray walked slowly with Maomao. Hearing this, he smiled, and didn't answer the question, and Maomao didn't ask, but because of the closeness in his body, he subconsciously thought that the man in gray might be a cat just like himself. Beasts practiced to become demons, so they added a kindness.

The man in gray didn't talk much. Although Maomao had a good impression of him, he didn't dare to say more because of his status as a big monster. He only knew that the man in gray was named "A Jiang" during the conversation.

It wasn't until the two of them reached the gate of the city that Ah Jiang slowly pulled out his hand from Maomao's hand, "looked" at Maomao with a smile, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Just send it here, thank you, Fluffy."

"You're welcome." Maomao looked around, but didn't see anyone else, and asked again: "No one came to pick you up, where is your home, shall I take you back?"

A Jiang shook his head, suddenly raised his hand to touch Mao Mao's head through the square scarf, and smiled softly: "No need."

After finishing speaking, A Jiang stopped and turned around, and walked forward. In the blink of an eye, Maomao disappeared, and Maomao was speechless for a while.

But he wasn't sad at all, the other party still gave him a good feeling, he just got to know a big demon friend, just thinking about it, Maomao touched his head again, always felt that the place A Jiang touched just now was a little strangeness.

At the same time, in the depths of an uninhabited island on the coast of the East China Sea, Bai Ze, who had been sleeping in seclusion for a hundred years, suddenly opened his silver-gray eyes.

On the other side, Lu Jianwu and Li Luo, who had followed Wei Wencheng to the Bai Mansion after leaving the yamen, were standing in the yard where Miss Bai's family disappeared.

Since Miss Bai's disappearance, this courtyard has not been inhabited anymore. Li Luo visited it last time. Before leaving, he asked Wei Wencheng to let the Bai family lock up the courtyard. It looks a little desolate at the moment.

After Wei Wencheng brought people into the yard, he couldn't stand the weird cold feeling in the yard, so he asked the two to watch first, and deal with the Patriarch of the Bai family by himself.

After Lu Jianwu stepped into the courtyard, he walked around the courtyard first, and then slowly stood in the center of the courtyard.

"How is it? When I came last time, I felt a resentment here, but I couldn't find the source, so I felt strange, but there is still a trace of evil spirit lingering here. I guess there must be a demon who has been here." Li Luo walked around, stood beside Lu Jianwu and said.

Lu Jianwu hummed, then stretched out his right hand with the palm facing upwards, spiritual power fluctuations gradually appeared all over his body.

Li Luo knew what he was going to do, so he stepped aside and guarded the door to protect him.

After a while, a few wisps of black mist and a little bit of light gathered in Lu Jianwu's palm. Li Luo took a closer look, and found that the resentment and evil spirit scattered in the yard were concentrated in Lu Jianwu's palm little by little.

After the resentment and demonic aura in the yard were sucked in, Lu Jianwu opened his eyes and moved his arms slightly. The black mist in his palm instantly dissipated, and the little bit of spiritual light jumped a few times. , and then disappeared into Lu Jianwu's palm.

Seeing that Lu Jianwu retreated, Li Luo walked back, looked around the yard, and said, "The grievances have been purified, and the evil spirits are gone. What do you see when you retracted so quickly?"

Lu Jianwu withdrew his hand, "There are many grievances, more than one person, sinking here is still affected by the grievances of the owner here."

Li Luo heard the words and sighed, it seems that Miss Bai's part in the resentment, so that Miss Bai is probably in danger, "Is it the work of a monster?"

Lu Jianwu thought for a while, and said: "The origin of the evil spirit is a rhinoceros canal, but I just used the evil spirit as a guide to explore Qingzhou City, and it is not in the city."

"The man-eating beast Xiqu?" Li Luo frowned when he heard the name. Xiqu is a ferocious beast that can be called a name, and it is also known as a cannibal. It's just because of the control of the demon town that the world has already There hasn't been a cannibal canal for many years.

Lu Jianwu said again: "Although the origin of the evil spirit is the rhinoceros canal, there is no murderous spirit in this evil spirit. This matter is still strange."

Li Luo simply took out the wine gourd on his waist and took a sip, and said, "Anyway, it's easy to know what it is. Next, check if there are any traces of rhinoceros in the surrounding area."

Lu Jianwu nodded and said, "Go and see the residences of the other two."

At this time, Wei Wencheng finally calmed down the Patriarch of the Bai family and came back, but as soon as he stepped into the yard, he felt a little different from before he left. Obviously nothing had changed, but it seemed that it was not as gloomy as before. Wei Wencheng immediately looked at Lu Jianwu. With a little more admiration, I shouted respectfully: "Master, can I gain something?"

"Of course there are, don't worry. By the way, my uncle has already cleaned up here, so that the Bai family doesn't have to lock it anymore." Li Luo smiled and stepped forward to negotiate with Wei Wen: "Now, you take us there again. Take a look at Widow Qiu's house."
