Chapter 133: The Master is no longer vigorous
The full moon is gradually setting, and there is a deserted temple outside the city.
Li Chu faced Miss Xiao Liu and pondered for a long time.
After he scanned Liu Qinglian's "Qi" with his mind, he saw something strange.
Thick demonic energy accumulated in her dantian and lower body, while it was thin in her upper body, as if it was not flowing.
Maybe it was because she didn't deliberately adjust it, or maybe it was because of the sudden change, but now she couldn't control the tail very well. The person and the tail seemed to be two completely different creatures.
This demonic aura looks...
It felt like someone was forcing it into her body.
The method is very rough.
Li Chu lives with the fox girl and the little koi carp day and night. The situation before him is not only different from that of ordinary mortals, but also different from ordinary monsters that have transformed or have not fully transformed.
From this point of view, her claim that she is not a fairy is somewhat credible.
"I hope Miss Xiao Liu can answer the following questions truthfully," he reminded.
"Well, okay." Miss Xiao Liu nodded obediently.
Although her snake body looked strange and powerful, she had no way of controlling it and did not try to do so.
As a result, she now looks like a critically ill patient who can only move her upper body.
His expression was also unusually weak.
"Are there any monsters among your close relatives within three generations?"
"No." Miss Xiao Liu was very sure, but she said it with a bit of sadness: "My family... our ancestors have been officials for generations, and it was not until twelve years ago that our family fell into poverty. Among them... there are naturally no monsters."
Li Chu asked again: "Have you ever come into contact with a medicinal herb called 'Fanxiancao' before? It is golden in color, long and narrow in shape, and tastes sweet."
Miss Xiao Liu shook her head again: "Probably not."
"Have you ever taken the magic pill?" Li Chu continued.
Miss Xiao Liu shook her head again, "I'm not a cultivator, so naturally I don't have any."
Chen Huaji asked curiously, "What do you mean by these questions?"
Li Chu said: "My master said that if a mortal wants to suddenly turn into a demon, there are only a few possibilities."
"Either there is a demon in the blood of a close relative for three generations, and the demon blood may suddenly erupt. Or he came into contact with the Return to Immortality Grass, which triggered the blood from ancient times. Another possibility is that he took a demon pill and did not guide it properly, causing a large amount of demon energy to stagnate."
"Besides these..." He then asked, "Have you offended any high-level cultivators recently?"
"Heh." Miss Xiao Liu laughed at herself. "I became famous overnight in Hangzhou Prefecture. I don't know how many people's money was blocked and how many people were jealous. Of course, I didn't offend any cultivators, but it's hard to say what happened behind the scenes."
"Those people are so despicable!" Chen Huaji said indignantly in a very cooperative manner.
"We can't be sure yet." Li Chu comforted him and said to Liu Qinglian, "Now you have revealed your demonic body in front of the people of the city. If you can't recover, even if you say you are not a demon, I'm afraid no one will believe you."
"I believe it!" Chen Huaji said again.
Li Chu nodded at him.
I silently said "awesome" in my heart.
Then he asked, "I wonder what plans you two have now?"
He was just instigated by his master and friends to understand the situation and help out.
The current situation was unclear, and he didn't know how to solve it for the time being. What to do next would naturally depend on Miss Xiao Liu's own considerations.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qinglian raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile: "I am a weak woman, and I am at a loss when faced with this. Master Li, what do you think I should do?"
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "In fact, if Chaotianque knew about this, it would be a good place to protect you and conduct an investigation."
"It's just... if I send you back to Chaotianque now, you won't be in any trouble..."
"I'm glad that Miss Xiao Liu is okay!" Chen Huaji said happily.
Li Chu and Liu Qinglian both cast their eyes on his face.
"Why are you looking at me...something's wrong with me...ah!" Chen Huaji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed.
If I go back now, Miss Xiao Liu will be fine, but I have something to do.
Miss Xiao Liu was unaware of the situation. She had just woken up from a coma and was kidnapped by herself before she could be interrogated.
If she was innocent, she would not be troubled.
However, as a disciple of Chaotianque, breaking into prison and robbing prisoners was a serious crime!
Chen Huaji's face suddenly turned bitter.
After all this time, I ended up with nothing.
It turns out that I am going to have bad luck.
Seeing his miserable expression, Li Chu advised, "Don't panic. If you can investigate the truth about Miss Xiao Liu's transformation into a demon, and then return to Chaotianque to explain the situation, you may be able to reduce your guilt a little."
Chen Huaji scratched his head and said, "How can I check this..."
Li Chu felt that this person didn't seem very smart.
I had to give another side note: "When we have no clues, we can only start with the motivation."
"Who benefits the most from harming Miss Xiao Liu like this?"
Liu Qinglian answered without hesitation: "Wenrouli, I have stolen a lot of their limelight recently, and I also took away Xiao Mingyue's moonlight courtesan. If they destroy me, it will naturally be their profit."
Li Chu said: "Then start with gentleness."
…
When it was almost dawn, Li Chu went to Meixizhai and brought Wang Longqi and Li Xinyi with him.
They were previously interrogated extensively and were released only after it was determined that they had no suspicion.
Chen Huaji's identity was indeed exposed, and a wanted poster was posted overnight.
Although he did not show his face during the prison break, he was proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique, familiar with the prison layout, and able to obtain the internal key... If Chao Tianque still couldn't guess this, then his average intelligence level would be a bit low.
Miss Xiao Liu was like a frightened bird and was a little afraid of the two men.
Thanks to Li Chu saying that they were his friends, Liu Qinglian let down her guard.
Taoist Priest Xiao Li’s friends shouldn’t be bad people.
Li Xinyi rolled her eyes as soon as she saw Chen Huaji. They both grew up in the Hangzhou Prefecture Resident Office and knew each other very well, so naturally she felt a little disappointed with Chen Huaji.
"You're in trouble, big trouble!" she said exaggeratedly.
Chen Huaji said with a sad face: "I didn't expect that... Miss Xiao Liu is not a demon. I thought she was going to be sold. I was in a hurry and..."
Li Xinyi said, "No matter what, you can't do this. Kidnap someone from Chaotianque's own prison. Don't you think about the consequences before you do it?"
Chen Huaji said solemnly: "As long as I can save Miss Xiao Liu from suffering, I am willing to bear any serious consequences!"
Miss Xiao Liu was confused again. After a long while, she only said, "Thank you. You are such a good person."
Chen Huaji immediately showed a warm and innocent smile again.
Wang Longqi quietly pulled Li Chu, turned his back, and said, "The licker is really awesome."
Mentioned that he would investigate the matter himself and start with gentleness.
Wang Longqi volunteered.
"I am familiar with Wenrou. I can go and investigate for three days and three nights."
Li Xinyi said, "Don't make a fuss. What we want is an in-depth investigation."
Wang Longqi's face flushed immediately, and he asked, "How do you know I didn't go deep enough?"
Li Chu reached out and held him down.
Stopped the two from chatting across servers.
Miss Xiao Liu looked at these people who seemed unreliable...then turned to look at Chen Huaji who was sticking out his tongue next to her.
I suddenly felt that my fate was ill-fated...
Then.
Wang Longqi waved his hand and said seriously: "No kidding, if you want to investigate Wenrouli, I do have a good idea."
"Oh?" Everyone looked at him.
Wang Longqi said: "Speaking of the characters in Wenrou, Aunt Yan is naturally the first one to be mentioned."
"Yan Xiaoyao?"
When mentioning this name, Chen Huaji became a little excited, as if he was remembering his youthful years.
Bear the brunt?
Yes, it is inevitable that it will be the first to be affected.
His sudden excitement attracted several people to glance at him, among them was Miss Xiao Liu.
Chen Huaji immediately frowned and said coldly, "Normally."
"Aunt Yan is not ordinary. She handles all the big and small things in Wenrou. If anything bad happens, she must know about it."
Wang Longqi continued, "It's not an exaggeration to say that this person is very cunning. It will be very difficult for us to get something out of her."
Everyone either agreed with it or seemed to be thinking about it.
Only Chen Huaji was standing aside, somewhat disagreeing, but not daring to speak out loudly. In the corner, he muttered to himself: "It should be easy to get something out of her."
"Isn't this the basic skill of a good girl?"
Wang Longqi continued, "But I know someone who is an old acquaintance of Yan Xiaoyao, and... based on my understanding of him, it's possible... that these two people had a close relationship in the past."
After thinking for a while, he simply said, "Let me be frank. They are definitely a pair of adulterers."
Li Xinyi immediately guessed who he was talking about and spat, "What a scumbag! My master keeps talking about him all day long."
After a pause, she added, "Old scum."
Li Chu stroked his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I can't just rely on my master's past...relationship for everything. Isn't this a bad idea?"
…
"This, isn't good?"
Under the old locust tree in Deyun Temple, Yu Qian'an stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling very embarrassed.
On the opposite side, the homeless girl Xiao Liu, Chen Huaji, and Wang Longqi who came to join in the fun were all standing behind Li Chu.
Only Li Xinyi didn't want to see his old face, so she went back to Chaotianque to take up her post.
Hearing him say this, Li Chu didn't say much, but just frowned and said: "If the master is really embarrassed..."
"Alas——" Yu Qian'an sighed.
"It's not that it's difficult, it's just..."
"I helped you solve the problem of the evil spirit last time and contacted Qingzhu. Now she... I... ah!"
"If I can contact Yan Xiaoyao again this time..."
"Qingzhu is just an amateur after all, but Xiaoyao is a professional. You don't know... Well, there are some things I can't reveal. Those who understand will understand."
"My disciple..."
"You have to understand how difficult it is to be a teacher."
"Master is no longer in his prime."
Everyone felt it when they looked at his bitter face and dark circles under his eyes.
That must be quite difficult.
"Master..." Miss Xiao Liu bowed and said, "If you are willing to lend a hand, help me find the truth and restore my original body. I will repay your kindness in my next life even if I work like a cow or a horse."
“No, no, no, get up quickly.” Seeing Liu Qinglian like this, Yu Qian’an quickly helped her up and sighed again: “Alas, my heart is broken when little Miss Liu cries.”
Chen Huaji nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay, Xiaosha." Yu Qian'an called out and ordered, "Go and get the box from the second compartment of my bedside table."
"Okay."
Wanli Feisha responded, but before the voice could be heard, the person had already returned, faster than a gust of wind.
In his hand he was holding a large lacquered wooden box with carved patterns.
Yu Qian'an took it and opened it. Everyone looked and found a pile of jewellery inside.
The old Taoist picked up a hairpin, thought about it, and put it down.
She picked up an earring, thought about it, and put it down again.
After a while, he took out a string of pearl flowers.
"Here, this is it." He handed the item to Li Chu, "Show this to her and she'll understand."
"Thank you, Master." Li Chu took it solemnly.
The old Taoist priest also shook his hand tightly.
"Disciple, I promise to be your master."
"Find out the grandson who is behind this and must not let him off easily!"
"otherwise……"
"I'm sorry for making such a huge sacrifice for you, Master!"
The pearl flower felt heavy in his hand. Li Chu was moved by this emotion and bowed his head heavily.
"Disciple understands!"
