Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

It was evening when we returned to the inn.

Compared with the gloomy and gloomy time when he left, Lu Xiang is now back with a happy face, happily following behind Sijun, and soon began to pack the few luggage, planning to leave Qicheng in the near future.

As for the next destination, it is the focus of today's discussion.

In fact, Lu Xiang already had an idea in his mind, and now he finally had the opportunity to propose: "I would rather go to Zizhou."

Xingyuan said: "Zizhou, that is the territory of the Qin family. However, the Bo family in Jiangcheng is next to Zizhou. If we go, we can also go and see Bo Yangyan. Very good. Our Ma Diao foursome We can get it all together!"

Lu Xiang would be happy if he could see Bo Yangyan, but this was obviously not the reason why Lu Xiang wanted to go to Zizhou.

So Sijun asked: "Why do you want to go to Zizhou? Is there any problem with the Qin family?"

"I think... there might be something wrong with it." Lu Xiang frowned, and slowly took out a small cloth bag from the Qiankun bag, and opened it carefully, which contained the fragments of the white jade mirroring sand bottle and black sand.

Lu Xiang went on to say: "When the white jade sand bottle broke that day, the black sand rose up, and I saw a picture in the black sand..."

Lu Xiaoji hurriedly raised his hands excitedly, chirping for a while, Lu Xiang also became excited, and said, "I always thought it was because I fainted and hallucinated, so it really is? Have you seen it?"

Xingyuan asked: "It's not real, I saw a woman and vaguely heard what he said."

"I saw it too." Sijun's tone could not hear any emotion, "Someone pointed a sword at Ji Nanhong and asked her to hand over something."

Lu Xiang hurriedly said, "Yes! That's it! Finally, Ji Nanhong called Qin Xiucheng's name!"

Qin Xiucheng, one of the four major families, the head of the Zizhou Qin family.Qin Xiucheng's cultivation level is not low, but he is very low-key, no one here has actually seen him, but they all heard that Qin Xiucheng is humble and self-confident, he is a gentleman from Lilan Yuanzhi.

If there is no major event that endangers the world, the Qin family will generally not intervene, and has always been in a corner.But the Qin family is also in Fuze Township, and has done a lot of practical things: building schools, adopting orphans, and distributing porridge and tea. Qin Xiucheng and his wife adopted several adopted sons and daughters, and the couple are honored as "great benefactors".

The Qin family also participated in the battle to kill demons, but no one knows the details.Lu Xiang guessed that it would be useless to ask Qingling, but he still planned to take the time to ask Qingling's bird for help and fly to try his luck.

Lu Xiang continued to talk in front of him: "I guess the white jade sand bottle can take us back to the past, and the black sand also has the function of recording, so we can see these pictures. I tried to raise this black gauze by myself two days ago, But it didn't work, and I ate a mouthful of sand."

Sijun knocked on Lu Xiang's forehead and said: "Don't mess around, the white jade sand bottle is completely broken, you are not a caster, so don't move it casually."

"No more." Lu Xiang rubbed his forehead with a smile, not feeling pain, but itching.

Xingyuan asked: "Then what does the picture we see mean?"

Lu Xiang wrinkled his face and said: "There is too little information, so we can only guess. We guessed from Wen Renxian's long painting that Nanhong and Yu Yunshan were really in love, and Wen Renxian snatched it from Ji Nanhong's hand. That sword. So among those three pairs of shoes, could one be Wen Renxian? Combined to guess, the scene we saw happened before the battle of killing demons. These three people teamed up to bully a girl and wanted to rob her Things, and even kill her husband. Thinking about it, it's really shameless."

Xing Yuan said contemptuously: "People of the righteous way used to say, 'To deal with this kind of monster, you don't need to talk about morals, let's fight together!' So when facing Ji Nanhong, I definitely won't feel how shameless I am."

Lu Xiang closed his eyes and thought hard: "Ji Nanhong called out 'Qin Xiucheng' at the end, but she was too excited to hear the emotion, and didn't know if she was cursing or asking for help. So, we'd better meet Qin Xiucheng and investigate. Say it again."

Several people agreed to investigate, but they disagreed on how to investigate.

Sijun's method is simple and rude, thinking that Qin Xiucheng can be directly tied up and beaten so that he can tell the truth.On the other hand, Lu Xiang felt that he should have a face-to-face discussion with Qin Xiucheng, so that everyone could reason.

Xingyuan denied the whimsy of these two people, saying: "You guys have enough time! You can't use your fists and mouths, but use your brains. You obviously cooperated very well before!"

Lu Xiang protested: "I don't want to act anymore! You can't let me wear skirts! I want to wear you!"

Xingyuan teased him: "I can't change form now, I can't pretend, Sijun is more than eight feet tall, have you ever seen a girl look like that? As for chickens and mushrooms, don't even think about it. Then you don't want to There are other options for pretending to be a big girl, such as a charming widow, how about it?"

Lu Xiang was about to cry, and hid behind Sijun's back, he said, "Xiao Hua bullies me again, it must be to get revenge on me for pestering him before."

Sijun didn't speak for Lu Xiang, his eyes flickered slightly, and Lu Xiang looked frightened, afraid that he would reveal a trace of expectation for "a charming widow with all kinds of charm".

Xingyuan's revenge was avenged, and he laughed so hard, he finally stopped when he saw that Lu Xiang was about to cry after a while, and then said: "Okay, I'm just kidding, this time you don't need to play the widow, no one needs to pretend to be a widow." , we can go directly to the Qin family in Zizhou. It’s like this, Qin Xiucheng’s eldest grandson is about to hold a birthday banquet. Banquet many people. We can take this opportunity to enter the Qin family's manor, get close to Qin Xiucheng, and secretly find out if he has any secrets. By the way, it is impossible for Sijun not to receive the invitation?"

Sijun didn't take Qin Shi to heart, thought for a long time before saying: "It seems to be, I can't remember what happened two months ago."

Lu Xiang raised his face proudly, looked at Sijun and said, "It's okay, Sijun just needs to swipe his face to get in!"

Sijun looked sideways at Lu Xiang, then tapped his forehead, and said, "Now you are a big shot, and many people know you, so you can get in too."

Lu Xiang was very happy, but also a little shy, pulling Sijun's sleeve and shaking it.

Xingyuan trembled, and got goosebumps all over the ground.

However, the plan to go to the Qin family in Zizhou was finally finalized. They planned to buy some necessary supplies and leave Qicheng on a good day.

Three days later, in the morning.

A young man appeared at the door of Xianyi Manor, which had been neglected for a long time. He looked around expectantly for a long time, but in the end he left without knocking, put the two baskets in his hand at the door.

I thought I could become a good friend in this life, but I never expected that today, I find it difficult to even meet each other.

The mountains and rivers will be long in the future, and I don't know when I will see you again.

As the breeze blew, a corner of the plain cloth covering the basket was lifted, revealing the unpretentious eggs and bacon in the basket.

Zizhou is already far away from the land of Shu. The further north you go, the colder it gets. Lu Xiang, who came to the north for the first time, couldn't stand the cold, and couldn't get used to the food in the north. He was depressed all day. Only when sleeping on the warm kang at night can I feel a little more comfortable.

I don't know if it's because he didn't have a good rest these days. Lu Xiang had nightmares more and more frequently. Several times in the middle of the night, he dreamed that his hands were bloody grasping the stone wall, and when he woke up suddenly, he still felt pain in his fingers.

Lu Xiang woke up from the dream again, and the room was full of oil lamps lit by Sijun. Lu Xiang's fear quickly calmed down, but his body trembled slightly and still couldn't stop.

Lu Xiang didn't make a sound, but Sijun woke up the moment he opened his eyes. He turned around, faced Lu Xiang, and asked, "Have you had a nightmare again?"

"Yeah." Lu Xiang said embarrassedly, "Did I disturb you?"

Sijun didn't speak, but quietly pulled Lu Xiang over, put his arm around him, and gently rubbed his fingers with the other.

The dark and clear pain in the dream gradually dissipated, and Lu Xiang relaxed, but it was difficult to fall asleep for the time being, leaning on his chest and chatting with him, asking, "Where are Xiaohua and the others?"

Sijun replied, "I went to sleep next door."

"It's strange, why do the three of them keep avoiding the two of us recently?" Lu Xiang was very confused.

Sijun patted Lu Xiang's head and said, "Don't worry about them, take a good rest."

"Hmm..." Lu Xiang closed his eyes, but he continued, "I don't know if I can find any clues related to my life experience when I come to the Qin family."

In fact, Lu Xiang is still at a loss up to now. After dressing up as a woman for so long, it has brought down the entire Ming family. The Qiankun bag in my collection.

Lu Xiang has carefully compared the two Qiankun bags, and found that they are indeed a pair, at least the materials are the same, but he can't be sure whether the two bags are made by the same person, and he doesn't know whether they are made by Wen Renxian or Ji Nanhong.

The gap between gain and effort is too big.

Sijun rubbed Lu Xiang's fingers slowly and said, "Look slowly, don't worry."

"There's no rush, I'm fine now." Lu Xiang nestled on Sijun's chest, secretly smiled, and then proudly said, "I'm asleep, you need to help me rub my hands."

Sijun nodded and continued to rub gently. Lu Xiang arched Sijun's chest in satisfaction, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep after a while.

The three of Xingyuan didn't appear again until breakfast the next morning, and Lu Xiang lost energy after getting up, and sat at the table squinting his eyes dizzy after washing up.

Sijun brought the porridge to Lu Xiang's eyes, and he lazily reached out to take the bowl, but he didn't start eating for a long time.

Sijun tapped Lu Xiang on the forehead and said, "Eat quickly, we have to go on our way."

"It still hurts..." Lu Xiang got up and said unreasonably, "You did it too fast last night, and I didn't even have fun!"

Xingyuan: ...

Lu Xiaoji:? ? ?

Lu Xiaogu:? ? ?

Sijun said calmly, "Oh."

Lu Xiang continued to make trouble out of no reason: "It doesn't matter, I have to make it up again tonight, and I can only sleep when I am comfortable."

Sijun took a sip of tea expressionlessly and said, "Okay."

Xingyuan looked at Lu Xiang sympathetically, and said, "Silly boy, when you grow up, when you think back to what you said before, you will definitely be ashamed to death."

Lu Xiang refused to listen to Xingyuan's words at all, and still squinted his eyes in a daze. It was not until after breakfast, leaving the inn and taking the carriage north that Lu Xiang finally woke up.

At this time, it was only half a day away from the Qin family's manor in Zizhou.
