[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Daoist Mo's Whisk

It was in the evening that Gong Jiu received the news from the old housekeeper.

The dinner party has been prepared, and when the guests are all present and the host raises the chopsticks, the gluttonous feast can officially begin.However……

The old butler: "Master Mo said that he is not hungry, please eat first with the guests, sir, without waiting for him."

Gong Jiu's joyful mood that has been maintained until now has dissipated most of it: "...he became a fairy? Doesn't he need to eat?"

Mo Qi What does this mean?Are you really so unwilling to sit with him?

The maids and attendants in the costumes at the side were all silent, and even the old butler turned pale: "This..."

The more Gong Jiu thought about it, the more gloomy his face became, and he stood up from the table.Since the most important audience was not present, he didn't bother to play the enthusiastic host any longer, so he slammed out cold words word by word from his lips: "I'll go and see."

He left without looking back, not even paying attention to Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua who were still waiting for dinner by their seats.

This was definitely the first time since Chu Liuxiang was so neglected since he walked the rivers and lakes.This ignorance is not a deliberate attempt to get them, but a genuine failure to take them to heart.

When he dealt with the Ninth Young Master in the past, the Ninth Young Master was not the cloudy and unpredictable look he is now.He was extremely honest, calm and self-controlled, and even in Chu Liuxiang's eyes, he could stand side by side with today's number one swordsman Ximen Chuuxue and the late sword fairy Ye Gucheng, a person so perfect that he transcended the scope of human beings.

Looking at it now, it can only be said that Gong Jiu's disguise is really good...

The old butler watched Gong Jiu's back go away without daring to breathe, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua: "You two distinguished guests, don't be restrained, you must be hungry by now." He regained his ability and directed Watching the waiters and maids bring up the prepared delicacies one after another, "This is a famous chef that the master dug from the capital, making this golden sprout is a must..."

…………

Mo Qi didn't expect that he just had a poor appetite and didn't want to eat dinner, so he would lead Gong Jiu to his room.What's more, he didn't expect that Gong Jiu's timing would be so coincidental, just in time for him to fetch water and take a bath for the third time.

Taking a bath during dinner, Mo Qi didn't want to cause trouble to his master, so he didn't ask the maid to prepare bath water for him.He simply went to fetch water from the well behind the courtyard, back and forth, this was the third time he had taken a bath within an hour.

When Gong Jiu entered the door, the first thing he saw was a solid chest that was rubbed into powder by the master, and then, a pair of eyes that were almost as cold as lacquer stars, and dozens of eyes mixed with internal force. ice spikes.

Once Mo Qi was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. As soon as Gong Jiufu pushed the door, he kneaded the water into ice.

Gong Jiutai was right, he swung the folding fan with his fingertips open and closed several times, and the icy sword energy split the ice into pieces.

It seems easy for the two to dismantle their moves, but it is actually dangerous.Just looking at the several-inch-deep cracks on the ground that were cut by ice thorns and sword energy, one can tell that Mo Qi is almost serious.

Gong Jiu shifted his eyes lightly, secretly measuring the limit of how much he could lift the tiger's beard.

Taking advantage of such skillful skills, Mo Qi hastily put on his clothes, with restrained anger jumping in his pitch-black eyes, he really wanted to rush out and burn this shameless person to ashes: "Gong Jiu!"

Gong Jiu calmly shook off the icy scum on his body, and his neatly combed hair was not messy at all. In comparison, Mo Qi, who was only wearing a coat, was really embarrassed, and even because of his exposed pink skin, he showed A bit sensual.

Gong Jiu stood at the door, did not step into the room, the folding fan slightly covered the corners of her lips: "The butler just told me that you are not hungry and don't want to eat, I was worried that you didn't want to sit with me..."

The folding fan could no longer cover the corners of Gong Jiu's lips that gloated over misfortune: "Looking at it now, it turned out to be just Taoist priest, you still remember the cockroach in the morning—"

Mo Qi's expression changed: "Stop talking."

--dragonfly.Gong Jiu swallowed back the last word.

Gong Jiu thought to herself: When I watched it during the day, I thought Mo Qi had no idea about cockroaches, but it seems that he has been holding back until now, so he can't eat, and even took so many baths.

Poor thing, the skin is rubbed red.

A kind of hidden pleasure, like the pleasure of being pleased by breaking through the flaws behind the perfection, dispelled the sullenness in Gong Jiu's heart.

So, beyond Mo Qi's expectations, Gong Jiu stopped the topic obediently, and turned his back on the subject intimately, with a gentle tone that made people feel chills down the back: "However, you still have to eat what you should eat. After all, I have to explore the dungeon at night. I don’t know if a cultivator will have a stomachache when he’s hungry, and I don’t want to expose his whereabouts at night because of this reason.”

After speaking, Gong Jiu left.

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua, who had been trying to feed themselves as pigs, did not know that Gong Jiu and Mo Qi had a small fight, and they were not interested in knowing. Anyway, when they ate half of it, Mo Qi, who originally said he would not come, Qi, still with a dark face, sat down and ate together with Gong Jiu, who was obviously expressionless but inexplicably shy.

A table full of delicacies continued to enter the stomachs of Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua at an astonishing speed.If you are thirsty after eating, there is an inexhaustible supply of fine wine to drink, which is really very satisfying.

Gong Jiu: "..."

Gong Jiu had no choice but to remind: "Everyone eat less, there are important things to do at night."

Don't turn around and eat too much to walk.

After pretending to apologize sincerely in front of Mo Qi, and introducing the delicacies at the banquet like a remedy after a dead sheep, Gong Jiu's embarrassment has almost passed.

He sat in the main seat, looked at Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua who were eating happily, and Mo Qi, who looked like a girl with a small appetite and was still sullen.

……

...Didn't I come to trouble Mo Qi and ask him to save his life?

Why am I here, in the Northwest, a place where no birds can lay eggs, spending my own pocket and using my own house, entertaining these troublemakers like a tribute emperor?

Gong Jiu put down his chopsticks in doubt, staring at the crystal clear boiled fish in the bowl, lost in thought: "..."

The nine sons who are always counted without omission: ? ? ?

In winter in the Northwest, the temperature is extremely low and extremely dry.Ice was placed in the dungeon again, and the few corpses were naturally well preserved. Even the smell of corpses could not be smelled much because of the low temperature.

The few people who came to spy on the night were all first-class martial arts masters in the Jianghu, not to mention that there was a bandit commander Chu Liuxiang who had never missed a shot and was almost legendary among them. It was really hard to avoid the eyes and ears of these ordinary soldiers. How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.

Everyone followed Chu Liuxiang, bypassing the heavy soldiers outside the morgue, and rushed into the room.

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua alone stunned the only two night watchmen in the morgue, dragged them to the chairs, and then walked to the bed where the corpse was placed: "That's all right."

Mixiang was provided by Chu Liuxiang. It is said that after using it, when people wake up, they will only feel that they have fallen asleep, and they will not remember that they were stunned.

Ever since Gong Jiu knew that Mo Qi would have such a big reaction behind his back because of the cockroach, his enthusiasm for Ye Tan became even higher.At this time, he also changed into the same night clothes as the other three, walked to the bed and said, "Whose corpse do you want to see first?"

He said so, but his eyes kept looking at Mo Qi's body, and he really found the imperceptible tangle in Mo Qi's eyes, with a kind of feeling that he didn't want to get close to the corpse, but he had to. contradiction.

Gong Jiu hugged her chest, kept a not too far not too close distance, and carefully observed every detail of Mo Qi's body with great interest.

Mo Qi's voice was lower than usual, revealing some imperceptible restraint and patience: "The storyteller said before, how many people have died?"

Hu Tiehua: "Four, I remember exactly. The city guard is General Ma, jade merchant Qian Shizhen, chief secretary Wen, and one is the deputy general Wu."

Mo Qi: "There are five corpses here."

Chu Liuxiang was quick and had already lifted the white cloth: "You'll know if you don't see it."

On the five small beds, from left to right, were placed the corpses of General Ma, Qian Shizhen, Lord Wen, and Lord Wu. There were bamboo sticks under the beds to mark their identities.On the bed on the far right, there was an unnamed corpse. It looked like it had fallen head-down to death.

However, this nameless corpse is not the worst, at least it has a broken head. The corpse of General Ma is the worst, only the back of his head is left, and the limbs of his body have been pecked, leaving only bones and a small half of flesh and blood up.

"I've never heard of it..." Chu Liuxiang murmured while rubbing her chin, "Is this a new corpse?"

"No." Mo Qi said, "Looking at the circumstances, he should have died between General Ma and Qian Shizhen."

Hu Tiehua was surprised: "Master Taoist, you still do autopsies?"

Mo Qi paused for a moment: "...a little knowledge of medical skills, but not mastery of miscellaneous things."

Chu Liuxiang: "Then why didn't the storyteller talk about this man..." He looked at the corpse's attire, "It looks like an old man, wearing the armor of a city soldier."

There is no source of information, and they will squat here until dawn tomorrow, and they can't figure out what's going on.

Mo Qi's eyes darkened again, and he looked at the silent Gong Jiu with his dark eyes, and he saw the man's eyes full of "Ask me, I know".

Mo Qi: "...Gong Jiu."

Gong Jiu deliberately pretended to be stupid: "Huh?"

"...What do you know." Mo Qi said with a suppressed breath.

Gong Jiu was happy to see Mo Qi look helpless and achieved his goal, so he said straightforwardly: "This man died on the same day when General Ma's body was transported to the city gate. He was a veteran guarding the city. Said that he was drunk on the day he was on duty, and accidentally slipped and fell off the city wall. It's insignificant, so don't worry about it."

But Mo Qi looked at the old man's body with gloomy eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Chu Liuxiang has already begun to inspect the remaining four key corpses: "They are all left by birds' beaks pecking and tearing..."

He took out a pair of azure gloves from nowhere, put them on, and groped into the corpse: "Hmm..."

Hu Tiehua's face was wrinkled, and he seemed to want to jump out of this room immediately: "What are you huh?"

Mo Qi was standing right behind Chu Liuxiang, who happened to be able to have a panoramic view of what Chu Liuxiang saw: "More than that."

Hu Tiehua just hid and didn't want to look at it. Naturally, she didn't understand what they were talking about, so she said in a daze, "What's more?"

"Here, there is a sword wound." Mo Qi stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse of the lieutenant that Hu Tiehua was checking.

Gong Jiu also came over: "Indeed, although it has been almost pecked, it can still be seen."

Hu Tiehua also looked over, his eyes were blank, and he suspected that he was blind: "Where is it?"

Chu Liuxiang parted the rotten flesh of the lieutenant general's chest: "Here, look at this incision."

The incision was extremely small, and the rotten pieces of meat that had been torn by pecking were piled up underneath, leaving only a little less than the size of a baby's finger.

"The other bodies—"

"Boom!"

Halfway through Hu Tiehua's question, the whole dungeon suddenly trembled.

"What's going on?" He jumped hastily, blocking the candle holder that almost fell on the bed sheet, and his footsteps were unsteady, and he was about to hit the bed. Before that, Mo Qi had already spread his arms, covering him, Chu Liuxiang, Gong Jiu pushed to the corner of the mortuary together, guarding her back like a hen guarding her chicks, turned her back to the three of them, and grabbed the whisk that was always on her back.

The roar that seemed to emanate from the ground was still endless like thunder, and the trembling ground made the zenith of the dungeon start to make a chilling sound of cracking.

Mo Qi looked at the cracks above his head and said in a deep voice, "Yumen, the ground has moved!"

The corner of his eye swept down, and the figures of two unconscious night watchmen came into view.They were still sleeping in their dreams, not knowing what night it was, and they didn't even know that the rock above their heads might collapse at any time, smashing their bodies flat.

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were surprised together: "Night watchman!"

The author has something to say: Long Yao stood on the street for the Taoist priest himself: Mr. Ninth, you think too much, the Taoist priest doesn't know how to growl.In the same way, it can be proved that the Taoist Priest Little Immortal will neither hmm, nor hush——

Gong Jiu: Oh——

Daoist: ………

(Daozhang os: ...then I will.)
