Mountain and Sea Miles

Mao Mao followed Lu Jianwu around a few streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the door of a small courtyard. Lu Jianwu stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker. After a while, a servant came to open the door. Seeing Lu Jianwu, he bowed his knees and saluted , invite people in, and lead them all the way to the hall.

When passing by the courtyard, Mao Mao glanced at it. There were no flowers planted in the courtyard, but there was a small forest with unknown trees planted in it. It looked lush and lush, and there seemed to be many birds in the forest, but he did not come And looking closely, I can only vaguely see some feathers floating in the air.

Not a while after the two of them entered the hall, as soon as the servant's tea was served, a middle-aged man rushed over, and as soon as he entered the hall, he bowed his hands to Lu Jianwu and saluted: "Master Jianwu."

This person's hair and beard are gray and white, and his face is not very young. He looks a little old, but his spirit is very good, especially his pair of eagle eyebrows, his eyes are particularly sharp, and he seems to be quite spiritual. the big demon.

Maomao was standing next to Lu Jianwu, it seemed that he was so respectful, so he quickly jumped a small step to the side to get out of the way.

Lu Jianwu responded calmly, and said very directly: "Speak."

The middle-aged man invited Lu Jianwu to a seat, sat down himself, stroked his beard, and said slowly: "The rumor of the evil spirit in Guangling came from the Yuan Mansion in the east of the city a month ago. The servant saw a ghost in white clothes floating in the backyard and heard the sound of a baby crying. He spoke vividly and made people panic. After being suppressed by his mistress, he calmed down for a while. But within half a month, the rumors of haunting came again. It was reported again, and it was even more terrifying than the last time. It was said that a servant had disappeared. So scared, the child came back without daring to go deep, and then I sent a letter to the adults, I didn't expect the adults to come so quickly."

After Lu Jianwu listened to Weiyu, Mao Mao was very curious. He felt that there were many questions to ask, and he was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak casually, so he looked at Lu Jianwu and the middle-aged man helplessly, hesitant to speak. look.

Sensing Mao Mao's movement, Lu Jianwu turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes were indifferent, Mao Mao immediately moved his ears, raised his hand and asked: "Master Jianwu, I have a question, can I ask?"

Lu Jianwu didn't answer, but turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man understood immediately, stood up and bowed his hands to Mao Mao, and said, "My lord, please."

The middle-aged people have long been very curious about Mao Mao. Their family has been providing various information and materials for the town monster, and they have frequent exchanges with several adults of the town monster, but they have never seen Mao Mao, and they still seem to be clueless The little demon, who is not even fully transformed, somehow managed to follow Lu Jianwu, and got his green eyes, but he has practiced for many years, and his eyes are very good. Although he is curious in his heart and does not show it on the surface, he also has a lot of respect for Mao Mao.

Mao Mao scratched his ears and said embarrassedly: "I'm not an adult, don't call me that." Then he frowned and asked seriously: "Senior, what you said was heard by others when we first entered the city. Yes, but we heard that this haunted lady came back to seek revenge, do you know what happened?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said modestly: "You don't have to be polite, the old man must know everything."

The middle-aged man explained that the owner of the Yuan Mansion was called Yuan Lun. He was originally a local traveling businessman. He followed his family all over the world to do business since he was a child.But the most humane of Yuan Lun in Guangling City is not his family history, but romantic debts.

Yuan Lun had two wives successively. The first wife was named Xin Ya, known as Mrs. Ya. She was beautiful, gentle, kind and virtuous, but they passed away within three years of their marriage.Later, Yuan Lun married another stepwife named Hong Ye, who is now the mistress of Yuan Mansion.It is rumored that Mrs. Hong was born delicate and delicate, and I feel pity for it. It was Yuan Lun's outer room raised outside. Later, Mrs. Ya found out that Yuan Lun wanted to accept her as a concubine, but Mrs. Ya refused, so the two forced Mrs. Ya When she committed suicide by jumping into a well, I heard that Mrs. Ya was pregnant at that time, and she died twice, but even the bones were never found. In addition, this haunting happened near the well where Mrs. Ya committed suicide, so some people said It was Lady Ya's ghost who came back for revenge.

After hearing this, Maomao opened his small mouth wide. It was the first time he heard these things in the world, and he felt very surprised. Then he remembered another name he had heard, and hurriedly asked: "Then there is Mr. Kang, Who else?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Mr. Kang is a man Yuan Lun took home a few days ago. He said he met him when he was doing business abroad. He looks more beautiful than a woman and his family is poor. Yuan Lun fell in love with him at first sight. Brought it back home, Madam Hong made several quarrels because of this, but failed to drive Mr. Kang out of the Yuan Mansion. I sent someone to investigate, and Mr. Kang has no evil spirit or spiritual power."

Mao Mao puffed his mouth, thinking that this sounded more like the so-called revenge of evil spirits, he turned his head to look at Lu Jianwu, and when Lu Jianwu saw that he had finished asking, he stood up and said to the middle-aged man: "I Got it." After speaking, he waved to Maomao and walked out.

The middle-aged man got up to see Lu Jianwu off, and said: "Since your lord has come to Guangling City, why don't you stay in the humble house, I will order someone to clean up the two rooms and come out."

Lu Jianwu shook his head and refused: "No, I'll go to the inn."

The middle-aged man sighed softly when he heard the words, and did not try to persuade him, but sent him out of the gate himself before turning back.

Lu Jianwu took Maomao out of the middle-aged man's house and headed all the way to the east of the city. Maomao was still thinking about the Yuan Mansion at the moment, and when his attention was drawn, he lost his previous restraint and became a little lively instead. Following behind Lu Jianwu, he poked his head and asked curiously: "Master Jianwu, it really sounds like Mrs. Naya is coming back to take revenge, but the senior said that the clansmen have seen evil spirits... How is this going to happen?" Why? I heard before that except for the little demons who are just fledgling donkeys, only the big evil demons who run amok will not restrain their evil spirits in the world. That evil spirit will scare the seniors, will it be very powerful? Say Wake up, what kind of monster was that senior just now? Is it the one that Mr. Jianwu told Mr. Zou Yu before... Gu’s big monster senior? But I didn’t feel any danger from him, he must be a good monster !"

After finishing speaking, Maomao grinned for a while, and then found that Balabala had said a lot, but Lu Jianwu didn't reply, and suddenly felt a little lost, drooping his ears, and lowered his head.

When Maomao was talking, Lu Jianwu did not say a word, and walked ahead without squinting, but after Maomao thought he had said too much, and shut up in a low voice, Lu Jianwu opened his mouth again and answered Maomao's questions one by one: " Zhongguwan is the leader of the Yong tribe, who are good at night vision and have good friends with various bird tribes. They have provided information from various places to the demon town for many years. They have seen demon spirits in Yuan Mansion, no matter whether it is evil spirits revenge or not, there must be Monsters have entered and exited the Yuan Mansion."

When Maomao heard Lu Jianwu answering him, his ears perked up, and a sweet smile appeared on his face again. He walked two steps faster and walked to Lu Jianwu's side, raised his head and continued to ask: "Then we are going to Yuanyuan?" Is the government investigating?"

Lu Jianwu nodded slightly and said, "I'll go at night."

Maomao opened his mouth slightly and nodded twice, clenched his right hand and slapped the palm of his left palm, and suddenly realized: "Catch it!"

As the two of them walked to the door of an inn, Lu Jianwu stopped and turned into the inn, and Maomao hurriedly followed, thinking that Zou Yu had asked him to take care of Lu Jianwu before leaving, so he rushed to Lu Jianwu He went to the counter and excitedly said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I want two rooms!"

The shopkeeper saw the extraordinary temperament of the two people, immediately smiled, and said politely: "Oh, young master, this is really a coincidence, there is only one room left in the store, do you think the two of you have been wronged for a night?"

Maomao was stunned, she didn't think about this situation, she turned her head to look at Lu Jianwu, and wanted to ask if it was possible to change the store, but Lu Jianwu had already walked to the counter, raised his hand to put down the money, and said lightly: "Just open one. "

The shopkeeper took the money with a smile, bowed and said: "Oh, yes, please come inside." He called out to the inside: "Xiao Er! Take the guest to the room!"

Soon Xiao Er greeted them with a smile, and led them to the guest room on the second floor.

After Xiaoer left, Maomao lay on the table and stretched habitually. After finishing the work, she realized that Lu Jianwu was in the same room, and she blushed a little. She covered her face for a long time before quietly looking back. After a quick glance, Lu Jianwu was already sitting on a chair beside him with his eyes closed.Maomao pursed her lips, feeling that Mr. Jianwu is practicing every day.

He was embarrassed to disturb him, but he was a little bored at the thought of staying in the room until dark and late at night. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help it. Just as he was about to speak, his stomach made a soft sound, and he froze for a moment, covering his mouth Stomach looked up blankly.

Lu Jianwu slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, and he said helplessly, "I, my stomach is barking, it didn't bark before! I don't know why..."

The corners of Lu Jianwu's lips moved slightly, as if he had smiled, but when Mao Mao looked at him carefully, he looked indifferent again, as if the smile just now was just an illusion of Mao Mao, but he still spoke to comfort Mao Mao: "Your spiritual power cannot It's normal to be hungry if you can't absorb the aura of heaven and earth to practice."

Maomao has not been hungry for 200 years, and he is still a little uncomfortable when he suddenly returns to the original state. He didn't realize it before, but after being reminded by Lu Jianwu, he felt that he was really hungry. Taking the opportunity, he asked Lu Jianwu with wide eyes: "Then can I go out to look for food?"

Lu Jianwu nodded, and raised his hand to beckon him again. After Mao Mao came to him, he tapped Mao Mao's forehead with his fingertips, and said, "Go, be careful."

Maomao didn't feel any spiritual power entering his body, and looked at Lu Jianwu not very clearly, with a look of curiosity on his face, Lu Jianwu explained aloud when he saw this: "I put a little spiritual power on you to protect you, if you When I encounter danger, I can sense it in time."

Mao Mao immediately touched his forehead, the ears on his head trembled smartly, he bent his eyes and smiled at Lu Jianwu: "Thank you Lord Jianwu!"

After speaking, he ran out of the house happily, and went out to find something to eat.

In the room, Lu Jianwu looked at the direction where Maomao was leaving, his cold and sharp eyes softened, but soon he closed his eyes again and practiced silently.
