Xiaohong jumped out with a sound, and a red line landed on the ground nimbly.
"Big Dragon Tail, keep an eye on the kitten Dudu and follow slowly." Lu Cijiu said, holding the big stick in his arms and followed Xiaohong upstairs.
The small attic has been abandoned for a long time and has no roof. The sun is not strong today, but the top floor is brighter than the bottom floor.
Lu Cijiu saw Fang Shuan's face was filled with rage. He punched the ground and roared, "Let her go, let Xiaoman go. I'll kill you."
His fist was bloody, but Fang Shuan seemed not to feel it and continued to smash it angrily.
But when Lu Cijiu looked over, there was nothing there. There was only Fang Shuan punching the ground and the wall and roaring. There was no sign of Su Xiaoman or Liu Sankang at all.
"Ahhhhh Xiaoman, Xiaoman!" Fang Shuan screamed in despair, lost in a fantasy. He clutched something in his arms and threw himself down, determined to die together. From Lu Cijiu's perspective, Fang Shuan clutched at the air and angrily threw himself towards the edge of the building.
This is the third level. If you rush over with inertia, you will break a leg even if you don’t die.
"Fang Shuan!" Lu Cijiu shouted and reached out to stop him.
Xiaohong first pounced over and grabbed Fang Shuan's arm, then moved to hold Fang Shuan's waist. Before she could touch him, the jar containing the big stick in her arms fell, and the water splashed all over Fang Shuan's face.
At this height, the water in the jug obviously couldn't splash that high, but it did splash all over Fang Shuan's face.
Fang Shuan stood there in a daze, as if waking from a dream, calling Su Xiaoman's name to the empty corner. Lu Cijiu looked down at the water pitcher on the ground. He had let go in a hurry, but now the pitcher sat flat on the ground. Apart from the water that had splashed out, not a drop of water had leaked out, and the stick was still swimming leisurely.
The lid is still there.
Lu Cijiu looked at the water holes, which were about the size of nail holes.
Look at Fang Shuan's face full of water.
...What kind of big stick is this? It must be a big Kun!
Lu Cijiu didn't have time to settle accounts with Dabang, so he asked Fang Shuan, "What happened to you just now?"
"Master, Xiaoman, Xiaoman is right here. She needs me. She's been bullied and needs me to save her." Fang Shuan muttered in despair, "Master, why are you giving me the Yin-Yang eyes? Xiaoman's soul is here."
Not at all.
Lu Cijiu didn't ask Fang Shuan what he had just seen. Looking at the blood on Fang Shuan's hands, he knew it was not a good scene. But this place was indeed clean and there were no ghosts. How could there be an illusion?
"Let me take a look." Is it some kind of formation?
Lu Cijiu searched the third floor but couldn't find any formations. Fang Shuan also calmed down and followed Lu Cijiu, asking if Xiaoman was there and begging Lu Cijiu to open his Yin-Yang eyes.
"...Su Xiaoman is not here." Lu Cijiu could only tell Fang Shuan this.
The illusion just now made Fang Shuan so angry and frightened that he couldn't control himself. If he knew that Su Xiaoman's soul had been scattered, who knows what Fang Shuan would do. He would most likely seek revenge on Liu Sankang.
Xiaohong ran to a spot and called out twice. Zhou Cheng said, "Xiaolu, take a look here."
Lu Cijiu walked over to a dead tree next to the edge of the house. Xiaohong, hanging on the vines, scratched at it with her claws. Lu Cijiu asked the cubs to stand back, leaned forward to take a look, and said, "What is it?"
He took out a tissue and reached out to take it from the dead branch.
It was a thin layer, and the texture was a bit hard. Lu Cijiu pinched it through the paper and said, "It feels like snake skin."
The shed skin of a snake.
Lu Cijiu found this a bit disgusting, so he told the kids to just watch and not touch it. Who knows if the snake is poisonous? It's normal to have snakes in trees, but Xiaohong scratched Zhou Cheng with her claws, and Cheng didn't need to tell her.
"Is there something wrong with this snake skin?" Lu Cijiu asked.
Xiaohong cried out and gracefully pulled Zhou Cheng's trouser legs, asking for a hug.
Zhou Cheng took out a tissue from his backpack and said, "Wipe your feet first, they're just dirty."
Xiaohong raised her foot, and because she was so young, she acted like a spoiled child.
Lu Cijiu looked at the big stick in the plastic box again. The baby form of his big stick was actually quite cute, but it was not easy to suck.
"Let's go, there's no problem here." Lu Cijiu packed his things and turned around to ask Gong Xichao what it was.
Fang Shuan still didn't give up. Lu Cijiu said, "Su Xiaoman is really not here. What you just saw was an illusion. I will do my best to catch the murderer who killed Su Xiaoman. Calm down and don't act rashly. Or do you want to kill Liu Sankang and then go to jail?"
"He deserves to die. If he hadn't snatched the amulet and tripped me, Xiaoman wouldn't have died." Fang Shuan planned to kill Liu Sankang. He couldn't catch ghosts, so he handed it over to Master Lu. He would not let Liu Sankang, who indirectly killed Xiaoman, go.
Fortunately, Fang Shuan had asked this question, as he was actually planning to kill Liu Sankang. Lu Cijiu said, "If you kill Liu Sankang, you will go to jail and may even have to pay with your life. Su Xiaoman doesn't want to see someone who truly loves her ruined."
"This is a lawyer. You can ask him about the murderer's fate."
Lu Cijiu gave Cheng Ge a look, suggesting he speak more seriously. But Zhou Cheng, with his professionalism intact, gave him a brief explanation. After repeated persuasion from the two, Fang Shuan said bitterly, "Is this the end of the matter? I won't accept this."
"Go back first and disinfect the wound on your hand. I'll notify you if there's any progress." Lu Cijiu said earnestly, "Fang Shuan, before doing anything, calm down and think about your family."
Love is important, but life is not just about love.
Fang Shuan gradually calmed down, and Master Tonglu separated at the high-speed rail station, which was closer to Fang Shuan's home.
Lu Cijiu returned a little late. When he opened the door to the shelter, Gong Xichao was sitting on the jade bed. Lu Cijiu subconsciously glanced at Dabang. He didn't know if it was because his eyes had seen through the vest, but now he felt that Dabang was a little dull and not as smart as before.
"Off work? We're on a mission today." Lu Cijiu said, noticing Gong Xichao's expression. When he mentioned the mission, Gong Xichao didn't ask curiously. Lu Cijiu deliberately changed the subject and said, "What are we having for lunch? I'll wash my hands and cook."
Gong Xichao: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
"Ah? What?" Lu Cijiu pretended not to understand, then suddenly realized and said, "Oh right, I'll change the water for Dabang first. Today, thanks to Dabang, Dabang is still powerful. He poured water on Fang Shuan and woke him up."
Then he saw Gong Xichao showing a smug look.
Lu Bijiu: ...
If the big stick is not the goose that was left outside by Gong Xi's trend, then there is only one truth.
"But the one who made the greatest contribution today is Xiaohong." Lu Cijiu continued.
Seeing Gong Xichao's smug look, he was immediately incredulous, "Why?! How could it be that Po Zhe!"
"Xiaohong found an important clue." Lu Cijiudang was confused. Gong Xichao was angry and blurted out, "I found it first."
Lu Ci pretended not to understand, "Huh?"
"...I, I mean, if I were here, I would definitely be the first to find the clues." Gong Xichao was furious. He had suffered the loss of not being able to speak. He had to arrange for the big stick to speak.
Lu Cijiu confirmed again and again, looked at Gong Xichao and then at Dabang.
This operation is pretty good.
Lu Cijiu didn't know what to say. He had originally planned to expose the truth, but now he thought it would be better to just pretend he didn't know. Let's see what other tricks Gong Xichao will do next.
After washing his hands and face and changing his clothes, Lu Cijiu cooked first. Gong Xichao didn't get a response, so he followed her around, watching her help pick vegetables, but with a look of "quickly ask me, quickly ask me".
Lu Bijiu: ...
In the end, everyone felt sorry for Gong Xichao. Lu Cijiu said to himself, "That thing is so disgusting. If I tell you now, will you eat later?"
"Then let's talk about it after dinner." Gong Xichao said, and added, "I'm not really curious either."
Lu Cijiu: I don’t believe you.
I didn't eat well at lunch; the fast food noodles were terrible, and I was already hungry after the long journey. But I didn't want to make a big fuss about cooking a whole meal, so I asked my online friend if they still had any sausages left, so I just made a pot of sausage rice.
Corn, green beans, sausage, and crispy greens.
Simple and easy to make.
Lu Cijiu cooked another pot of big bone corn soup, and soon the meal was ready. The kids ate with relish, mouthfuls of rice and soup. Dalong held the spoon and said to his uncle, "Uncle, we had a great day today."
"Yeah, we're going to catch the bad guys."
Gong Xichao drank his soup, feeling noble and cool in his heart. "How can you be as good as me? I am the best!"
Zhou Cheng had bathed and blow-dried Xiaohong, and now she was nestled beautifully and fluffily on the jade bed, next to Zhou Cheng's waist. After everyone finished eating and cleaned up, Lu Cijiu took out some tissues and spread them out on the jade table.
"Brother Gong, what's this?"
Gong Xichao was eager to fight right now, especially when Lu Cijiu looked at him with such curiosity. This was the highlight moment. He glanced at him casually and said with the air of a master, "You're sour."
"Sour and?" Zhou Cheng didn't understand.
Lu Cijiu thought it sounded familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "A bird from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Suanyu resembles a snake, with four wings, six eyes, and three legs. It's a bird that, according to legend, brings disaster wherever it appears. Eating Suanyu meat prevents intoxication.
"Yes. Its food is fear." Gong Xichao said.
Lu Cijiu checked Baidu on his phone. Baidu didn't mention this, but it made sense. If something terrible were to happen wherever he appeared, he'd have to find food.
Only Suan and the shed bark remained on the trees in the mental hospital; Suan and the bird had disappeared. Even so, it affected Fang Shuan. He wondered if Suan and the bird were there when he took the photo.
He should have been there. And that sensitive guy in the cinema, was Suanyu there too?
"I'll talk to Hei Wuchang." Lu Cijiu burned incense and wrote the contents on a piece of paper. When it burned, the smoke rose straight up, indicating that Hei Wuchang had received it.
There wasn't much information about Suan and the internet, but Gong Xichao was there. Lu Cijiu asked a few more questions, and Gong Xichao said, "A sparrow flew in the sky yesterday. Do you know the family tree of its parents?"
"How would I know this!" Lu Cijiu said, and then he understood what was going on.
Gong Xichao said, "So, I'm already giving that ugly bird enough respect by understanding its diet."
"..." Lu Cijiu: "That must be hard work for you."
Gong Xichao nodded, "That's right."
"...Will something terrible happen if you see acid?"
Gong Xichao said with a stern face: "How is it possible, just based on this? An ugly bird is worthy of this? But I am really scared when I see such an ugly thing."
Lu Cijiu: ...This is also a face control.
Does this also mean that he is still very handsome? Lu Cijiu suddenly thought of this.
= =
"Let's go to the cinema tonight." Maybe we can meet him.
As soon as Lu Cijiu finished speaking, Gong Xichao's eyes lit up. He knew without thinking that Dabang's mind was full of the word "date".
That night, after the kids fell asleep, Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao headed straight to the cinema in the city they'd been to the last time. "Hospital Tales" hadn't left theaters yet, and because of Su Xiaoman's death, Liu Sankang had hired some online marketing to promote it as Su Xiaoman's posthumous work. Some marketing accounts also linked the strangeness of Su Xiaoman's death to this horror film, making it sound incredibly strange.
The film's attendance has been pretty good recently.
"Is this the deceased porn star Xiaoman?"
"I heard that after filming this, he was haunted by a ghost."
"Then I want to see what's so scary."
Moviegoers clutched popcorn and whispered as they entered the theater. Liu Sankang filmed this movie to attract attention, with its erotic scenes. Su Xiaoman had a hot body, and the wild fight scene in the bushes outside the hospital was quite explicit.
Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao sat hidden in the second row.
I didn't watch it carefully last time, but I watched it carefully this time. On the screen, Su Xiaoman seduces the rich second-generation male protagonist out, saying that she needs to go to the bathroom and is afraid to ask the male protagonist to accompany her. The male protagonist is a playboy, so what does he know? He walks out with Su Xiaoman.
Lu Cijiu heard a man behind him say, "This woman has a good figure and big breasts. It's a pity that she died."
stench.
The next thing was Su Xiaoman taking off her clothes and throwing herself into the male protagonist's arms. Lu Cijiu was watching when a pair of hands appeared in front of him and pulled her down directly. Not wanting Gong Xichao to ruin it, he didn't let go and said without turning his head: "Brother Gong, don't do it, I'm looking for clues."
Gong Xichao stared at the hand held by Lu Cijiu and nodded calmly.
It seems like I'm watching a movie, but actually my mind is full of Lu Cijiu holding my hand, but this doesn't mean he loves me. The guide on the Internet says that the movie theater is an opportunity to hold hands, kiss and hug.
Lu Cijiu may have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The theater's sound system is good, and the film's post-production soundtrack is pretty good. Su Xiaoman's moans sound great during the intense fighting scenes, but the music is weird and startling, making people feel uneasy, knowing that a ghost might jump out at any time.
The camera cuts to the sky.
Pitch black.
Lu Cijiu saw the dead tree and said quickly, "That's where we find the acid and the bark."
He had just finished speaking when two bright lights appeared on the dead tree. The camera flashed by, and if Lu Cijiu hadn't looked closely, he might have missed them because they were so small. It looked like something was lying on the tree, its bright black eyes staring at the ground below.
Acid and at that time.
Later in the plot, there is a scene where the male and female protagonists quarrel. The female protagonist finds out that the male protagonist has been having an affair with the second female lead played by Su Xiaoman behind her back. She is so angry that she runs to the third floor. During the argument, the female protagonist almost falls down and is caught by a dead tree. The male protagonist risks his life to pull her up.
The heroine was frightened, and the hero kicked the tree to avenge her.
"It was the male protagonist who kicked the tree. If you are jealous or want revenge, you should find the male protagonist. Why did you scare Su Xiaoman and Zhou Ting?" Lu Cijiu was very surprised.
Gong Xichao said: "Maybe he's picky about food."
I can't even refute it. This guy is just a loser who scares people based on their gender.
After watching the movie, Lu Cijiu watched it very seriously this time, and Gong Xichao also said that there was no sour or bird-like atmosphere here.
Returned empty-handed.
Of course, this is a major breakthrough for Gong Xichao.
Lu Cijiu was lost in thought as he left the theater. He felt something was amiss, and when he looked down, he realized he and Gong Xichao were still holding hands. No wonder he'd said a few girls had looked at him strangely!
“…” Lu Bijiu looked at the tide in the palace.
Gong Xichao looked ahead and said confidently, "What are you doing?"
Lu Cijiu originally wanted to let go, but Gong Xichao amused him and he gave up.
"Going home, or do you want a midnight snack?"
Without the third wheel, this was a date. Gong Xichao, of course, decided to have a midnight snack, but he was reluctant to let go of Lu Cijiu, and was momentarily embarrassed. Finally, he said, "Let's eat at a roadside stall."
"Okay." Lu Cijiu had no objection.
It was too late, and everything except the cinema was closed. The two of them went out and found a food street not far away. There was a smell of barbecue in the air, so they found a random place and ordered some food.
While waiting for the skewers to arrive, Lu Cijiu stared at his hands and said, "Gong Xichao, let go."
"You don't need two hands to eat barbecue." Gong Xichao said seriously.
Lu Cijiu: "...let go of me."
Gong Xichao regretted: "If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten it."
"..." Lu Cijiu was speechless. When they started grilling the meat, Gong Xichao's meat was more delicious than anyone else's.
After having supper, he returned to the shelter, washed up, and went to bed early. Early the next morning, Lu Ci's old phone rang. It was Lin Xuan calling, saying, "Master, Fang Xiaoyun is dead."
Lu Cijiu thought that he was killed by the ghost baby, which was not surprising.
Who knew that Lin Xuan would say immediately afterwards: "The ghost fetus is also dead."
"? How could this be - did you ask a master for help?" Lu Cijiu was a little surprised, but he did not rule out the possibility that Fang Xiaoyun had asked a master for help.
Lin Xuan said: "Fang Xiaoyun is afraid that he has invited many experts, but they are no match for the ghost fetus. The nanny found it this morning and said that Fang Xiaoyun was dead on the bed in the bedroom, and his heart was taken out——"
"The heart was taken out?!" Lu Cijiu exclaimed in shock, thinking of how Su Xiaoman died.
Could it be that the acid has come out again?
"We'll talk later." Lu Cijiu quickly ended the call, found his WeChat account, and after a while, found Fang Xiaoyun's birth chart. He washed his hands and face, wrote a talisman on paper, lit some incense, and summoned Fang Xiaoyun.
No.
Fang Xiaoyun's soul did not come.
There are two types. One is trapped and unable to come out, and the other is completely destroyed.
Lu Cijiu couldn't summon him, so he sent a letter to Hei Wuchang, and Hei Wuchang arrived instantly.
"Another death, Fang Xiaoyun."
"Liu Cheng appeared again."
They all said the same thing. Lu Cijiu said, "We found acid yesterday. I wonder if it's this?"
"I've checked the Underworld, and there's no record of acid or arrests. The Underworld has gone through several changes, especially after the collapse, so all the files from thousands of years ago are gone." Hei Wuchang said, "I'll go to Liucheng first and take a look. I'll contact you if there's anything else."
Lu Cijiu nodded, Hei Wuchang was faster than him.
After breakfast, Gong Xichao went to work on time. At around nine o'clock, Hei Wuchang appeared again. There was no need for Lu Cijiu to ask, as Hei Wuchang shook his head and said that he could not sense acid.
"I'm a new ghost messenger, only a hundred years old."
Lu Cijiu: ...New and century are really not the same thing.
"Then I'll go over and take a look with my big stick."
Fortunately, it's off-season now, so tickets are easy to buy. Lu Cijiu booked the tickets with the same team as yesterday, except for Fang Shuan. Zhou Cheng drove to the high-speed rail station, and the others took the train.
On the way, Lu Cijiu called Lin Xuan and told him that he was coming over.
Lin Xuan and Xin Zhou came to pick them up at the station in two cars. Lin Xuan recounted everything that had happened in the Xin family during this period. The conclusion was that Xin Huaiping had aged very quickly, especially after the birth of the ghost fetus. Xin Huaiping died before the newly hired master arrived.
A miserable death.
After that, the Xin family's legitimate and illegitimate children and various mistresses came out to snatch the property. The ghost fetus was no different from an ordinary baby when it was first born. Fang Xiaoyun thought Lu Cijiu was trying to scare her, but after a few days, she started to feel strange.
Fang Xiaoyun had nightmares all night long, was mentally weak, and woke up every day with pain all over his body. After a few days, purple and blue colors like a baby's palm appeared on his body.
"...Except for Fang Xiaoyun, the three Xin Zhou brothers were also troubled, but they were temporarily saved by the talisman paper. But the others were in trouble. No one knew who the ghost fetus would go after at night. Later, someone suggested asking a master to come and exorcise the ghost fetus."
"Fang Xiaoyun doesn't want to."
The ghost fetus's death didn't mean he'd lose out on a share of the family fortune. The Xin family had over a billion in assets, so even with multiple children, the share would still be substantial. Compared to a multi-million dollar inheritance, a few fixed assets and a few million in savings were nothing.
Of course Fang Xiaoyun was not happy.
"We've invited many masters and experts. Perhaps Fang Xiaoyun is the mother of the ghost child, so Fang Xiaoyun is being harassed the most. Recently, Fang Xiaoyun has been very strange and has been urging the lawyer to quickly determine the inheritance and discuss how to distribute it." Lin Xuan was also a little tired and said, "Mother Xin Zhou and several other wives all know Fang Xiaoyun's situation, so of course they are happy to delay it."
Fang Xiaoyun, who wanted to delay, let go first and get rid of the evil fetus.
Who knew Fang Xiaoyun was dead.
The ladies were terrified, afraid they would be next. They knew the baby was dead, but the ghost fetus was dead. Could the spirit still exist? Would it be even more powerful?
"The baby also died, together with Fang Xiaoyun. They were scared, so I came to ask Master Lu if Xin Zhou would be the next one?" Lin Xuan asked.
Lu Cijiu didn't keep the secret and said directly: "It's possible that it wasn't the ghost fetus that killed Fang Xiaoyun, and the ghost fetus might actually be dead. The other members of the Xin family were saved by the murderer, but luck is something that will backfire in the future, no matter how prosperous it is in the first few decades. There is no way to avoid this."
"Ah? Wasn't it the ghost fetus who killed him?" Lin Xuan was also confused.
He was afraid that the ghost baby would kill Fang Xiaoyun and become a ghost baby, and would go on a killing spree, so he called Master Lu. Who knew that there was another murderer in the middle, and he was even more vicious.
Lu Cijiu said, "An actress died the night before yesterday. Her death was the same as Fang Xiaoyun's. I'll go over and take a look first."
They soon arrived at Fang Xiaoyun's residence, a villa, which was guarded by police cordon. Xin Zhou and Lin Xuan said they knew the deceased Fang Xiaoyun and had asked a master to take a look at her body. The police looked at them as if they were mentally retarded and said no outsiders were allowed to enter because they were busy with their work.
There's no way in.
Lu Cijiu was worried because Gong Xichao was not there and he had no way to become invisible.
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard the sirens of a police car approaching. It was a jeep, with police lights on the roof, blaring. The crowd dispersed, and the car arrived at the villa's entrance.
First, a middle-aged man in uniform got out of the passenger seat. The policeman who was originally arguing with Lu Cijiu and the others saw him and said, "Director Zhao!"
Director Zhao nodded, but didn't say anything and looked towards the back door.
The car door opened, revealing a pair of long legs first. The person in the car bent over and came out to stand up straight.
Tall, handsome, with long hair.
"Minister Gong, this is it." Director Zhao said to the visitor.
Lu Bijiu: ...
What minister of the palace? This is the 4,800-year-old Kun, the big stick, and the Peng Diao, the chief tide of the palace.
