Chapter 13: You Owe Her
Ling Chen's treatment of those little ghosts has always been suppressed by force before, and at this time, he is temporarily cramming to read a book of charms, although he feels the fluctuation of spiritual power, but in the end, his strength is not as good as Xu Mu'an's, and before he has time to react, he has been restrained, and he looks a little embarrassed, but he also understands why Xu Mu'an came over, turned his head sideways, and looked at the past with a smile: "What do you mean? I'm just asking for a cinnabar talisman, what can I mean?"
Xu Mu'an tightened his hand a little more, obviously dissatisfied with Ling Chen's attitude, at the moment it was a forced posture, with a bit of ruthlessness between his words: "Why didn't you come as promised?"
Ling Chen's face was already flushed, but he was not afraid, watching the other party's mood fluctuations getting bigger and bigger, but laughing more and more, he seemed to find his own happiness in the other party's gaffe: "What's the matter, do you think I can't protect her?" He asked a question, but he didn't wait for Xu Mu'an's answer, but his eyes were cold, and the smile in his tone was a little mocking: " Don't forget, I'm different from you, my life was given by her, I will protect her desperately, I won't do anything she doesn't want to do, I especially won't hurt her!"
With this sentence, Ling Chen had already hit Xu Mu'an's chest with a palm, Xu Mu'an was stunned for a moment under this sentence, which caused him not to dodge this blow at this time, he took a few steps back, and only stopped when he hit the table, the power of this palm was not small, and it shook his heart, so that Xu Mu'an's lips suddenly came out with blood.
The tables and benches collided, and the sound was very loud, Xu Mu'an was also worried that the voice here was heard, and when he raised his hand to set up an enchantment, he attacked Ling Chen, and his eyes were already with a cold light: "It's been a thousand years, you are not finished, I haven't escaped a single cent of the punishment that should be punished, what else do you want?"
If you compete in mana, you are afraid that this place will be destroyed, so although the two of them have their own fires now, they have a very tacit understanding to control the level of fighting in this room.
They don't care about a room, they just have people they all want to protect.
Fists to the flesh, between the fights, the two of them were ruthless, but the two of them also knew that they would go out to see Yunman later, so they were all hidden under their clothes, Xu Mu'an punched Ling Chen's lower abdomen, Ling Chen shrank his back in pain for a moment, but the next moment he was more and more ruthless, his strength was not as good as Xu Mu'an, but at this moment, he was fierce, but he had already forced Xu Mu'an back a few steps.
Before, it was just a fist and kick, but Ling Chen's body was injured a lot, and at some point, a long sword with a whole body blue, like a long sword forged from ice, as soon as this sword was shot, the temperature in the room plummeted a lot, and even the teacups on the table were coated with a thin layer of frost.
As soon as this sword came out, Ling Chen's momentum changed, and even Xu Mu'an's expression changed slightly. It's not like fear, it's more like nostalgia.
Ling Chen put the sword in his hand, and it seemed that he was a little out of the world, he came directly to Xu Mu'an almost instantly, and put the sword on Xu Mu'an's neck, he pulled a cold smile at the corner of his lips, and seemed to be extremely disdainful of Xu Mu'an's previous words: "You owe someone else, she helped you pay it back, but you owe her, do you pay it back?!" At the end of these words, his throat already contained a thick angry sound, and the sword was also excited, cutting a shallow wound on Xu Mu'an's neck.
It was obviously painful, but Xu Muan seemed to be unconscious, and even looked at the sword with a little attachment, and then directly pushed the sword away with his hand: "You and I have an opportunity to settle accounts, but you shouldn't take her to risk." ”
Ling Chen couldn't kill him, although he had anger in his heart, he had a reason not to take his life, seeing that Xu Mu'an had a wound on his body, the anger in his heart was barely suppressed. Then he put the sword back into its scabbard: "Don't say it so righteously, do you think I really don't know what you're thinking?" The sword shook in Ling Chen's hand and disappeared, Ling Chen glanced at him and sneered: "You don't dare to let her touch these, it's just that you are afraid that she will recover her memory through these." ”
Xu Mu'an pursed his lips and was silent, he even lowered his head a little reluctantly, as if he was guilty of acquiescing to this statement.
Even if he took a sword and cut a hole in Xu Mu'an's neck, Xu Mu'an's expression did not change, and now it was just a few words, which made Xu Mu'an show such a look, Ling Chen was very happy, and even deliberately used words to provoke him: "You are afraid that she still can't forgive you, you can kill me, you have done so many things, it is not worse than this one or two." ”
Xu Muan didn't speak, just withdrew the enchantment and walked out.
What Ling Chen said was right, he did feel guilty, so no matter what Ling Chen said, he was irrefutable.
In the front yard, Yun Man was drinking tea worriedly, and when he saw Xu Mu'an at this moment, he greeted him, and said with a little worry: "Doctor Xu, are you back so soon?"
Xu Mu'an roughly dealt with the filth on his body at this time, and the wound on his neck also stood up to cover the collar, and when he saw Yun Man coming, he nodded and smiled very gently, as if he was a little embarrassed about Yun Man's previous wait: "I have also watched Lingchen Dao Chang hunt demons a few times before, and I have not used cinnabar, so this time it is a little strange, so I will go over and ask, and now it is fine." ”
Yun Man nodded ignorantly, a little believe and a little don't believe it, but in the end, the two of them are friends, and those who believe it or not can't help but interfere by themselves, plus he is still thinking about cinnabar in his heart, and he hesitated a little to speak: "That ......"
Xu Muan didn't need her to beg for it, since Ling Chen had made up his mind to take Yun Man there, this cinnabar would go if he didn't have it, so it was better to give it to him. said directly to Yun Man: "Since I am doing good deeds, I am naturally duty-bound." With that, he gave Yun Man a small bag in his hand: "It's just that the medicine in the medicine cabinet still has to be left for the patient after all, these are stocks, and it's okay to take them." ”
Xu Mu'an's generous shot, this package was much more than Yunman's original plan, and at this time, he couldn't help but be a little overjoyed and said: "Then thank you Dr. Xu." ”
It was this action of going to get the small bag that made Yun Man see a little red on Xu Muan's neck, hesitated, and was not in a hurry to pick up the medicine bag, but reached out to touch the red: "Doctor Xu, are you injured?"
Yun Man's movements seemed to have not even passed through his own brain, and at this time, Xu Mu'an held his hand, and took a step back without a trace, only then did he let go of Yun Man's hand and bowed slightly: "Miss Yunman misunderstood, it's not that she was injured, it's just that this cinnabar is afraid of moisture, and it is placed on the top of the shelf. As he spoke, his fingers gently flipped down the collar, and sure enough, it was a smooth piece.
Yun Man's heart was stable, but he also regretted that his actions were a little too much for this ancient doctor Xu, so he didn't say anything, just thanked him again, took the medicine bag and left.
It's just that if she is willing to turn around at this time, she can probably see Xu Mu'an's eyes looking at her, the deep guilt and sorrow.
By the time Yun Man arrived in the backyard, Ling Chen was already waiting in the yard, which made Yun Man quite surprised, although the days of acquaintance were still short, but Ling Chen's character of being able to sit without standing, and not sitting while lying down has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and being able to stand here and wait for her at this time really made Yun Man can't help but look up to see if the sun is coming out in the west.
Ling Chen is actually not very happy to stand here and wait, but his room has been directly upgraded from a kennel to a stray kennel by two people fighting, and he can't get in at all, and if Yun Man enters, he will inevitably have to ask a few words, in order to avoid this trouble, Ling Chen has to grieve himself and poke honestly under the sun for a while.
And Yun Man here had already made sure that the sun had not risen in the west, and shook Ling Chen with cinnabar, and didn't say anything, just asked, "Daoist Ling Chen, where are we going now?"
It seemed that Yun Man probably didn't mean to go back to the house to sit down, Ling Chen's heart was relieved, but his face was serious and unpredictable and said: "Although ghosts are evil, they are unlikely to be innocent and harmful, so it is not in accordance with the rules, so you take me to the houses of the dead people before." ”
Ling Chen could have killed those things directly before, but at that time, in order to lengthen the timeline with Yun Man, he started quite lightly, resulting in the aura he left on those things was not heavy, and there was no way to inquire about it, and now there was no way to find those things directly, so he had to follow the stupid method and check them one by one.
But fortunately, the police in Yunman during this time are not in vain, at least she is still very good at asking questions and hooking clues, and she has completed the investigation of several families in just one morning, but unfortunately there is very little information to be obtained.
After the last question, Yun Man looked at the dense records in the notebook, and the key points were outlined with a red pen, which could be seen at a glance. After a quick look at all the key points, he concluded: "In addition to the fact that these people's families are all merchants, the only thing they have in common is that they all mention a strange Taoist. ”
At a time when there is a lack of information like this, this is a very important clue, but now that everyone involved is dead, this clue has to be interrupted.
Wait a minute......
Ling Chen's gaze fell on Yun Man's body, and he suddenly smiled: "You take me to your house to have a look." ”
Before, because it was Yun Man's own home, the two of them avoided the Yun family intentionally or unintentionally during the investigation, but now that they think about it, they are the only clue now.
Yunman was also worried about whether it would be a little bad to bring his family in at first, but after thinking about it, if such a thing is not dealt with as soon as possible now, I am afraid that there will be other troubles.
"Dad, this is the Ling Chen Dao Leader who treated you before, and I came to see you this time. ”
When Yun Man went home, Yun Zhengxin was looking at the account books in the store, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up, bowed and said, "This time, I really thank you for the Taoist." ”
At first, Yun Man saw Yun Zhengxin bowing, and wanted to stop her, how could she still remember the words when Xu Mu'anshu beat her, Ling Chen was a cultivator, which would break his cultivation, but before she could say anything, she saw that Ling Chen accepted this gift without dodging, and then nodded slowly and nodly: "No need to be polite, Mr. Yun, please sit down, I came this time, I have something to ask you." ”
