I'm on duty in Yinshi

Chapter 14 Undercurrent
the other side.

Lin Jiu explained some things to the two apprentices, and then went straight back to the house.

As soon as the door was closed, a little tiredness appeared on the brows, and he sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea, lost in thought.

After the Yinshan incident, Lin Jiu discovered that Meihua Town is not as simple as it seems, and there are many strange things.

First of all, this place is not as ghost-free as Wu Hai...that is, Senior Brother Wu, as reported in the letter.On the contrary, there is a ghost in Yinshan not far from Plum Blossom Town.

When he first came to Plum Blossom Town, Lin Jiu thought that Wu Hai deliberately lied to Mao Shan for the annual assessment and evaluation, so that he could cheat him into obtaining pills to practice.

Here I want to make a digression: Yizhuang like Lin Jiu with Taoist priests stationed in Maoshan is actually a cooperation between the local wealthy business gentry and Maoshan. mutually beneficial.

After all, no matter what Taoist sect needs a lot of money to make ends meet.

The so-called assessment and assessment, to put it bluntly, is the examination of professional ability. Naturally, strength is needed to protect the safety of one party. The Central Plains is not only the Maoshan School, but the Longhushan Tianshidao, Shenxiao School, etc. are also born in large numbers, and they compete with each other. Quite intense.

Therefore, Maoshan has an assessment every year. If it is unsatisfactory, it will naturally be replaced by a replacement. If the performance is excellent, it will be rewarded.

But now it seems that there are many strange things, the most important of which is Deng Xiaoling. This ghost can use Maoshan technique, and can find the position of the eye of the formation in the Qimen Eight Diagrams formation. Use the five thunder palms, and use the power of thunder to break through the formation and escape.

If there is nothing tricky in it, Lin Jiu doesn't believe it!
Deng Xiaoling was just a ghost, how could she find the eye of the formation in an instant, unless someone had demonstrated it in front of her and told her the location of the eye, otherwise such a situation would never happen.

Wu Hai is the most suspicious.

Is there any possibility of suspended animation?Did he use some special method to break the mission card? If the assumption came true, what would Wu Hai plan behind his back?
This matter still needs to be investigated slowly.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiu took out a yellow talisman and spread it out, picked up a brush and wrote on it what he had seen and heard in the past few days, then folded the yellow talisman into a paper crane, drove mana, and formed a sword to point on the paper crane.

But I saw the paper crane fluttering its wings and flying into the night sky from the window.

"Two incompetent guys, if they can help the teacher share a little, why are they so busy!"

Lin Jiu stretched his waist, but he disliked his two apprentices, turned around and lay down on the bed to rest.

On the branches of the moon, the bright moonlight shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves.

"A Kui, A Kui, it's time to eat."

Outside the door, Ah Hao slapped the door and shouted loudly.

Hearing the sound, Li Kui, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately grabbed the shotgun in his hand. He didn't realize where he was until he heard Ah Hao's voice coming from outside. He patted his head and finally regained consciousness. Immediately replied:
"Okay, I'll get up now."

Opening the door, Ah Hao was holding the towel and basin in one hand, and the clothes in the other. Seeing Li Kui's confused face, he teased, "Hurry up and change into your new clothes, then wash your face and go eat!"

Li Kui looked at the objects in Ahao's hands, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Ahao."

"Hey, what are you talking about, I was going to ask you to eat at noon, but the master said that you were scared all night and let you rest more." Ah Hao poked his head in and took a look, "Are you still used to sleeping? ?”

"Ok!"

Li Kui quickly changed his clothes, scrubbed his cheeks vigorously, let out a foul breath, turned around and saw Ah Hao rubbing his chin and looking at him with a strange look, which made Li Kui feel hairy all over. How could Ah Hao raise his eyebrows and say:

"I said how did the female ghost tie you up? This look is really not bad, but...compared to me, it is still a little bit worse."

"..."

Li Kui was speechless.

On the table, there are four bowls of rice, a plate of bacon, a plate of pickles, a bowl of egg soup, a jug of wine, and a wine glass.

Lin Jiu poured himself a glass of wine, smacked it happily, looked at the three children, and said with a smile, "Let's eat!"

"Time to eat!"

Ah Cai cheered, picked up the chopsticks, picked up some bacon and served it with rice.

On the other side, Ah Hao glanced at Li Kui and asked in a low voice:

"Ah Kui, you told me just now that you are going to find someone, who are you looking for? A man, a woman?"

Lin Jiu quietly pricked up his ears.

Li Kui pondered for a while.

In fact, on the way here, he took the opportunity to ask Ah Hao if he had cultivated mana and how long it took him, but the answer he got made Li Kui's heart shudder.

It is not difficult for those who have a teacher. It takes a month to cultivate a trace of mana, but Li Kui does not know the direction of the meridians of the human body, and he has no teacher and no one to teach him. The remaining merit is not enough to light up the technique of guidance , the road was almost blocked.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Kui can only pin his hopes on Uncle Jiu's master and apprentice, hoping to get their help, so he said:

"The person I'm looking for is called Gou Honglin, and the name should be male."

"It sounds like the name should be male? So, Ah Kui, you don't even know whether the person you're looking for is male or female?" Cai said vaguely with rice in his mouth.

"In that case, it will be troublesome to find someone. It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack." Ah Hao nodded in agreement, "But I haven't heard of this name before. We just came to Plum Blossom Town for a few days, and then we can go to the town. Ask."

"Let Ahao accompany you to the town to ask questions tomorrow." Lin Jiu put down his glass and said softly.

Li Kui was grateful in his heart: "Thank you Uncle Jiu, thank you Hao and Cai."

"What do you say, eat quickly, eat without talking, sleep without talking, if you don't eat, all the dishes will be swept away by Ah Cai."

"Wow... Ah Cai, you are shameless!"

Laughter came out in the small courtyard.

Although it is a cold and desolate Yizhuang, there is a rare truth in the world.

child time.

Plum Town.

Laughing and cursing came from the tavern that was not yet closed.

"No... no... I'm going to pee first."

Wang Ergou's face was flushed, and he staggered towards the alley outside. He drank too much, and everything he saw was doubled.With his hands on the wall, he walked into the alley, unbuttoned his belt, and let out a heavy breath.

At this moment, a figure was reflected in the alley, and someone came slowly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Ergou turned his head to look, his eyes blurred:

"Brother...brother, wait, I haven't finished peeing yet."

The visitor walked up to him, his expression seemed to be hesitant, and the hands hidden behind his back were trembling slightly, and he asked in a low voice:

"Are you called Wang Ergou?"

"I am!"

At this time, the brain that was anesthetized by alcohol also noticed that something was wrong. Wang Ergou lowered his head slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at the person coming by the moonlight, "You...what the hell are you doing, you old..."

Suddenly.

Wang Ergou's pupils suddenly widened, and he felt that his neck was clenched by a pair of big hands, and the oxygen he inhaled was getting less and less.At the same time, a cold light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen, and all the strength in his body disappeared rapidly.

The body thumped and fell to the ground.

A silver needle with a spell drawn with cinnabar was inserted between Wang Ergou's eyebrows, and then the knife cut open his wrist, and bright red blood flowed out.

Only the sound of panting desperately remained.

On the other side, someone in the tavern finally noticed that Wang Ergou hadn't come back after a long time, and whispered to each other, a rough man named Daniu got up drunk and walked towards the alley.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the alley became much brighter. Daniu saw a figure lying in the depths of the alley at a glance. He thought it was Ergou who fell drunk on the ground, muttered a curse, and walked straight over.

Paji,

The soles of the boots stepped on the slightly sticky puddles, and Daniel went to the side and knelt down and patted Ergou's cheek, and said repeatedly: "Wake up... Ergou, wake up."

After barking for a long time, Wang Ergou lying on the ground didn't move at all. Daniel rubbed his eyes and felt that something had gotten into his eyes. When he lowered his head, he happened to see a bloody red palm, and the wine instantly woke up!
At this time, he looked at Wang Ergou again, his cheeks were pale, and his face was horrified to death.

"what--"

From the alley came a scream that was more piercing than a woman's.
