Chapter 93: The Candle

Half of the dark blue wick ignites from the top of the copper candle, but its halo does not release outward, but retracts into the interior and continues to extend downward, gradually transforming into a peculiar dark green in the process.

Lu Jiu sat on the rattan chair with his head down, his eyes fixed on the copper candle, and his eyes were slightly dull.

Whoop~whoa~

The blue-purple kitten's cry suddenly became calm, and with its call, Lu Jiu's body suddenly gushed out with the same mist as on the hillside the day before yesterday, and there was also dark green light from the hollow part of the copper candle, which was first entangled with these mist, and finally turned into a strange gas and returned to Lu Jiu's body.

The optical fibers of the gas lamp in the room leaked through, but they distorted on the body sitting in the rattan chair, and if someone watched from the side, they would find that Lu Jiu's body had begun to show a translucent and strange state at this moment.

Lu Jiu, who was still in a trance a second ago, suddenly woke up, as if he had been holding his breath in the water for a long time, and wanted to take a deep breath, but found that he was powerless, he couldn't even perceive the changes in the airflow, and then the feeling of being unable to breathe came to his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

However, as time passed, this strange feeling was gradually diluted.

It's not that Lu Jiu can breathe, but he suddenly found that he wouldn't faint like ordinary people when he didn't breathe, except that his body would be a little uncomfortable...... How can a corpse breathe?

Bang~

The cargo box fell to the ground, and the shroud inside turned out in half, Lu Jiu's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked through his legs to see the rattan chair underneath.

Standing up, there happened to be a gust of wind in the courtyard that rolled up the drizzle and fell under the eaves, passing through Lu Jiu's body, slapping on the rattan chair and making a crisp sound, Lu Jiu felt that he was beginning to drift again, as if he would go with the wind in the next second.

He's ...... Turned into a ghost-like being?

Oh!

With a sharp howl, all perception returned, and Lu Jiu leaned back uncontrollably and fell back into the rattan chair,

"Sure enough, only living corpses can really use this special trick weapon...... Keep in mind that the candlestick will only last for 10 minutes, and will expire when it expires...... The content of the task is in the note, you go to look at it carefully, and when the task is completed, you can tell the glass. ”

Without any explanation, the heteropupil cat disappeared completely after leaving only one sentence, he had other things to do, and it was impossible for him to stay by Lu Jiu's side all the time.

Lu Jiu didn't pay attention to the location of the heteropupil cat anymore, he was now immersed in the sequelae brought about by the special state just now.

This is a very special feeling, Lu Jiu can feel that his movements are not restrained in any way, and even much lighter, objects in reality can no longer interfere with his actions, and even he vaguely realizes that in his state at that time, he can completely cross the walls and doorposts like a cat with different pupils.

"Trickery, Candle...... Does it mean to burn a candle into the netherworld? ”

Looking at the "ordinary" copper candle in his hand, Lu Jiu really didn't understand where this kind of instrument with such special abilities came from, after a short silence, his eyes turned to the side, looking at the kitten who was still looking at him on the armrest of the rattan chair, and raised his hand to touch its head,

"You should be the glass he said, can you understand what I say?

Oh~

slapped Lu Jiu's hand away, Liuli raised his head, shouted arrogantly, and then pointed to his mouth again.

It's hungry.

"When I came back, I had already asked the nearby restaurant to cook, and the time was almost delivered, so you wait. ”

Knowing that this should be the same kind of cat demon they were hosting, it was estimated that it would act as an eyeliner and a microphone on his side, but Lu Jiu didn't care too much about it.

In the current situation, he can only take one step at a time, at least until he finds a chance to counteract, Lu Jiu does not intend to resist the arrangement of the heteropupil cat.

Lu Jiu knew that he now had a very important value to the heteropupil cat, just like the use of the dark candle in front of him had to be done by him, the latter did not choose to force the practice as soon as he came up, obviously he was also worried that he would be forced to be forced to simply break the net.

Retracting the thoughts that had diverged again, spreading out the note in his hand, and roughly scanning the contents of it, Lu Jiu frowned and straightened up, and the hand holding the note suddenly tightened.

"On the night of the first seven souls, I lit the candle and went to Xiuqifang...... Ask Tang Jingyi ......"

muttering the contents of the note, his eyes fell on the shroud in the cargo box.

Shexiang Town, Shexiang Town again!

The prison slaughtered Shexiang Town three years ago, what exactly did you want?

Now that the bandits are gathered in Zhiyuan Mansion, the first thing that comes to mind is to find out the secrets of Shexiang Town to find out the heart-slashing ghost, Jing Yesi rushed to Shexiang Town for this reason, saying that it was to suppress bandits, in Lu Jiu's opinion, Bacheng also wanted to find out the local situation, and the people outside Qingding Academy and the current alien cat......

These people have different purposes, but they all revolve around Shexiang Town.

What does the heteropupil cat want, the trail of the heart-gouging ghost?

No, he rescued himself from the place where human experiments were conducted, and he knew about the entanglement between himself and the Heart-Ripping Ghost in Changyi City, if it was for the Heart-Ripping Ghost, he could use himself to lure the Heart-Ripping Ghost out, and the fact was that he didn't even care why Lu Jiu was targeted by the Heart-Ripping Ghost, and he hadn't asked a word so far.

Could it be that what he wants is the secret of Shexiang Town......

Will this be your chance?

There was another knock on the door, this time it was the restaurant that was delivering food.

Lu Jiu didn't plan to put the things in the house, but directly moved a small table and put it under the eaves.

The kitten seemed to be hungry for a long time, Lu Jiu just brought the dish to the table, it pounced, sniffed here, and flicked it twice with its paws there, Lu Jiu also wanted to stretch out his chopsticks and eat two bites while the dish was not finished by it, but this guy immediately let out a low roar, and Lu Jiu dared to eat a chopstick and pounced on him desperately.

"Liuli, this name is good, your character is really ......"

Reluctantly put down the chopsticks, Lu Jiu didn't plan to grab something to eat with a cat, turned around and took out a juice ice cube and stuffed it into his mouth, lay back in the recliner and closed his eyes, and the content of the note still involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Chen Lide died before the Zhengyang Festival, calculate the time, his first seven soul nights should be tomorrow night.

In this way, there should still be time to talk to the blue-eyed cat, and maybe I can get some new information.

Staying at home until the evening, putting away the cargo box, Lu Jiu left home and went to the south of the city.

I thought that Liuli was the eyeliner left by the alien pupil cat, and she would follow him when he left, but I didn't think that the little guy would disappear after eating.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it follows in another elusive way, but Lu Jiu doesn't care about it.

I went to say hello to Shopkeeper Chen first, and asked him to help contact the Qinglan Demon Hunting Team, hoping to find a chance to meet them.

On the one hand, the three rampage of the trip to Changyi consumed most of Lu Jiu's already small qi-level demon blood, which urgently needed to be replenished, and on the other hand, they wanted to use their way to inquire about the cat's origin, a cat monster that could host human souls and had such special extraordinary abilities.

After saying hello, he went to Liu's craftsman workshop, and under the puzzled eyes of the craftsman, he handed over the mechanical arm guard that had just been brought out and seriously damaged two days after it was repaired again.

After the chores at hand were completed, Lu Jiu came to the White Fish porcelain shop.

"The shopkeeper came back yesterday, and asked about Lu Gongzi, you haven't come to the door for a few days, I thought it was ......"

The old man who watched the store was obviously a little surprised when he saw Lu Jiu appear, it was obvious that Lu Jiu's sudden disappearance after getting the Miao Dan made him have some not very good associations, and he suddenly realized that it was not very auspicious in the middle of his words, so he temporarily changed his words,

"There is a guest visiting the shopkeeper today, if you want to go up, please let me know in advance. ”

"It's okay, I'll just wait here. ”

Lu Jiu leaned against the counter and waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem, he could still afford to wait for a few minutes.

Hu Sanniang's friend...... Lu Jiu's mind couldn't help but think of a few old men, the scene of the old ladies drinking tea and knocking melon seeds around a table, thinking about whether to go back today and come back tomorrow to have a look.

As a result, when the old man who was watching the store came down, Lu Jiu hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the former said that Hu Sanniang had something to say about him when he asked him to go up.

What else could he do, Lu Jiu had to be ready to say hello to a group of old people and step into the elevator, but when he really walked out of the elevator on the third floor, the few people who appeared in front of him made Lu Jiu a little surprised.

In addition to Hu Sanniang, who was still sitting at the window with a cigarette pouch, there were two other people in the store, a middle-aged man and a young girl.

The former was dressed in a long shirt and held a folding fan in his hand, with an elegant temperament, looking like a teacher, and the latter was in a sturdy figure, with soft eyebrows and eyes, although only a little powder was applied on his face, it was also extraordinary.

"Zhao Li. "Willow smoke and rain. ”

The two of them bowed their hands first, their actions were somewhat Jianghu atmosphere, judging from the physiognomy of the three of them, the age difference between the three was so big, and they became friends, so these two people should also be demon veins.

Lu Jiu hurriedly returned the salute, and immediately turned his attention to Hu Sanniang.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, I thought you were dead, it seems that you succeeded?"

Getting up from the recliner, Hu Sanniang looked Lu Jiu up and down with great interest, and spoke.

"It can only be said that it is a fluke. ”

This is not a lie, if it weren't for the help of the dark golden heart, Lu Jiu would have been almost cold by now, and then said after a pause,

"Do you need help today, according to the previous agreement, there should be a few more days. ”

Although he said this, Lu Jiu was actually thinking about how to end this employment relationship before he came.

After all, the information that the latter could provide about the demon veiners now that Lu Jiu had found a replacement, that is, the blue-eyed cat, not to mention that he needed to focus on solving his own problems for a period of time, rather than continuing to follow Hu Sanniang's actions.

"No, I'll be very busy lately, and there are other candidates on the assistant side, and the previous agreement is invalidated...... I think you have something to do, right?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Sanniang put forward a request to terminate the agreement before Lu Jiu, as for how she saw that Lu Jiu was very busy, it was naturally because of Miao Dan.

If it is nothing important, no one with a normal brain will take this elixir with great side effects.

At other times, Lu Jiu might have shirked two sentences, but now he nodded directly in agreement.

Before leaving, his eyes turned around on the other two, and Lu Jiu also had some different thoughts in his heart.

For the sake of reminiscence?

I'm afraid that's not the case......
