Mountain and Sea Miles

Chapter 19 Familiarity

Widow Qiu lived in the south of the city, and the three of them took a detour to go there, and Widow Qiu's house did not seem to be the first scene of her disappearance, except for some resentment that came back here, and there was no evil spirit, this time Li Luo took the initiative to do it for her. Without letting Lu Jianwu take action, those grievances were directly purified.

It was not too early after the purification, Wei Wencheng proposed to take the two of them to dinner first, and also planned to ask about the specific situation by the way.Lu Jianwu and Li Luo had no objection, but they were going to meet Maomao first, so they walked in the direction of the inn, and Maomao happened to be walking back after seeing Ajiang off, and they met at the entrance of the market by chance.

Lu Jianwu was the first person to spot Maomao. He and Li Luo accompanied Wei Wencheng in the carriage. When they arrived at the entrance of the market, he suddenly raised the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Li Luo leaned over to have a look curiously. I saw Maomao walking not far ahead.

Li Luo immediately stopped the carriage, shouted to Mao Mao in front, and jumped down to say hello: "Hey, little Mao Mao, you're wandering so far."

When Maomao turned around, he saw Lu Jianwu get off the car, all the unhappy little emotions flew away, and he ignored Li Luo with a smile and ran to Lu Jianwu, shouting: "Master Jianwu!"

Lu Jianwu hummed, patted Mao Mao's head, but frowned slightly when he withdrew his hand.

He sensed a familiar feeling in Maomao, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

Li Luo's enthusiasm was in vain, and he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, enjoying himself.

Wei Wencheng got out of the carriage last, pointed to the restaurant not far away, and said to everyone: "It happens that I have booked a private room in the restaurant in front, so please invite brother Li Luo to dine with your uncle and this young master."

Several people went to the private room of the restaurant together. Wei Wencheng left the official duties of the county government today, and ran around with Lu Jianwu and Li Luo mainly for this case. Ask about the progress of the case.

Stuck in this case for nearly a month without any progress, Wei Wencheng also suspected that the case was related to evil spirits, but even so, he only hired someone to help in private, and did not report it. Cases related to demons have to be reported to the imperial court first, and the imperial court will send people to take over, but in this way, I don’t know how much time will be delayed during the period, and the people of Qingzhou will surely fall into panic, and he himself may lose his respect for Qingzhou. real jurisdiction.

Just when he was hesitating, he thought of Li Luo, a young monk who had accidentally rescued him five years ago. At that time, he still didn't believe in these ghosts and ghosts. Before leaving, he left a wooden sign engraved with the words "Guizanghui", indicating that he is a registered monk of the Guizanghui. If he needs help in the future, he can burn the wooden signboard and contact him.

In recent years, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods like he did back then. He also sent people to inquire about this "Gui Zang Hui", and he knew that it was indeed a well-known monk organization. He even knew people in the palace, and there were even rumors about it. Well, those cases reported to the imperial court about evil spirits, the people sent by the imperial court to take over are people from Guizanghui and another mysterious department.

Although there were many rumors, after much thought, he decided to use the wooden sign left by Li Luo to contact the other party, and entrusted the other party to help investigate the case together.

At that time, he thought, if the case had nothing to do with demons, it would be the best if he could solve the case with Li Luo's help; It is not a bad thing to get the favor of the imperial court by committing the crime of concealing the report.

It's just that he never expected that this case would suddenly escalate into a serial case, which made him unable to eat well or sleep well these days. He only hoped that Li Luo would come back soon to help him solve the case. He had to report it truthfully, after all, the people in the city had already started to panic, no matter how much he wanted to claim credit, he couldn't really abandon the people.

Li Luo didn't know much about Wei Wencheng, but the other party's failure to report to the court also made him somewhat guess what this person was thinking. Just because the other party had saved him and was still somewhat upright, he didn't have any troubles. Reported up, most likely he would come in person when he received the news.

Therefore, he didn't intend to hide it from Wei Wencheng. Now that they haven't taken the official path, they still need each other's help in their actions. He briefly explained the situation, "We have already investigated the Baifu and the Qiu family, and there are grievances around them. Resentment is the result of obsession after death. I am afraid that both the Miss Bai family and Mrs. Qiu have met with misfortune. However, the Miss Bai family disappeared overnight, and the servants said that she had never gone out. The place where the incident happened should be In the courtyard, there is a demonic aura left on the scene, it is estimated that a monster entered and took people away. As for the residence of the widow Qiu, there is no evil aura, it is probably not the place where the incident happened."

When Wei Wencheng heard that there was indeed a monster, Wei Wencheng's eyebrows became tangled, he couldn't help sighing, and asked, "Brother Li Luo, do you know what monster did this?"

Li Luo glanced at Lu Jianwu, thinking about what he said before that there was something strange, his eyes turned slightly, temporarily hiding the matter of Xiqu, and said: "The evil spirit has weakened, and it is difficult to distinguish for a while, but we have a clue , Don’t worry. By the way, Brother Wei said before that three people are missing, and one of them is your wife’s maid, can you take us to your house to meet your wife?”

"This..." Hearing this, Wei Wencheng showed some hesitation for the first time, but after thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed, "But it's getting late today, the three of you should go back to rest first, I'll go back home and talk to my wife , invite the three of you to Fuchu tomorrow."

Li Luo raised his eyebrows when Wei Wencheng hesitated, but he didn't say much. After the other party agreed, he politely raised his hand to Wei Wencheng.

After that, the few people talked for a while, mainly Li Luo and Wei Wencheng were talking, Maomao was immersed in eating, and Lu Jianwu was sitting calmly drinking tea and meditating, I don't know what he was thinking.

After making an appointment for the next day's visit, Wei Wencheng went back home first. As soon as he left, Maomao raised his head buried in the food, licked his lips, put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Lu Jian Wu and Li Luo.

"Pfft." Li Luo couldn't help laughing when he saw Maomao like this, and felt that the child was like a little animal desperately waiting for praise in front of its master, it was really cute, so he smiled and said: "Little Maomao, how dare you eat so hard just now It's all just pretending, I thought I was really starving you."

Maomao ignored Li Luo's teasing. Although he had been eating just now, he had been paying attention to the conversation between Wei Wencheng and Li Luo. He knew that they were going to Wei Mansion tomorrow. He didn't want to be dismissed this time, so he didn't blink. Looking at Lu Jianwu cautiously, he took the initiative to ask: "Master Jianwu, I want to go tomorrow too, I will be careful not to hinder you!" After speaking, he added cautiously and pitifully, "Is it okay?"

Lu Jianwu's eyes moved slightly, he looked down at Mao Mao, thought for a while, then nodded, "Follow me when the time comes."

When Maomao heard that Lu Jianwu agreed, he smiled happily and narrowed his eyes, and the cat ears on the top of his head stood up, pushing the wrapped scarf into two convex shapes.

After finishing the meal, Maomao happily took the two of them to the inn where he booked a room, only to find a very embarrassing problem.

He only remembered to book a room for himself and Lu Jianwu, but he forgot about Li Luo, so he only booked two rooms, and when they came, there were no other vacant rooms in the inn.

Maomao was a little embarrassed that he didn't do this little thing well, so he was going to give up his room. He just found a place to nest for the night, anyway, it didn't matter if he had slept in the wild.

Of course it is impossible for Li Luo to agree. Although he knows that Maomao may be hundreds of years older than him, but the other party looks much younger than him, and he is a naive little demon who has not been in the WTO for a long time, let alone a newcomer in the town of demons, how can he? It was really bullying, so naturally they refused to accept it, the two pushed back for a while, and finally Lu Jianwu spoke up and gave one of the rooms to Li Luo, letting Maomao rest in the same room as him, that stopped the two of them words.

But before entering the guest room to say goodbye, Li Luo raised his eyebrows, put his hand on Mao Mao's head, put it close to his ear, and said with a smile: "Xiao Mao Mao, you didn't mean it on purpose, did you?"

Maomao's face turned red, and he waved Li Luo's hand explosively, staring at him and puffing up.

Of course he didn't do it on purpose, but now this result made him secretly happy, but he was still ashamed and angry when Li Luo said it so suddenly.

Li Luo laughed twice, took two steps back with his hands raised, and said, "Okay, I was wrong, I'm going back to my room, see you tomorrow, Mr. Jianwu, and little Maomao~"

Mao Mao pouted and followed Lu Jianwu into the room. They had lived together in Guangling City, and there was no difference, but Mao Mao was still a little worried that Lu Jianwu would misunderstand his intentions, so he was anxious to explain after entering the room , "Master Jianwu, I really forgot before, it wasn't on purpose..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Jianwu reached out and touched Mao Mao's head, untied the square scarf on his head, let out his two ears to let out a breath, and replied calmly: "Yes, I know."

Mao Mao blushed, lowered her head, and moved her ears slightly.

After Lu Jianwu untied the scarf, he stared at Mao Mao's head for a while, then frowned slightly, but said nothing, put down the scarf, walked to the chair at the side like before in Guangling City, and sat down, "Let's rest earlier .”

"Yeah." Maomao knew that Lu Jianwu would also practice at night, so he didn't bother him any more, and obediently climbed into bed, then took out the small white blanket from the Qiankun bag to cover himself, and obediently closed his eyes to rest.

After Mao Mao fell asleep, Lu Jianwu opened his eyes and silently looked at Mao Mao on the bed.

The familiar feeling on this kitten became stronger again, he suspected it was because of the Hunyuan Pearl, but he still couldn't remember who it belonged to, and whose familiar feeling belonged to it, but he always felt that this The matter is very important, I'm afraid we can't wait for Bai Ze to leave the customs before discussing it, maybe...he should unlock the seal and take out some memories?
