Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Hidden Shadow
The silver Qin Lu gave when he left played a big role, and the tattered clothes of the Daoist Commander of the Divine Machine were gone, replaced by a brand-new Taoist robe sewn with gold wire, and a jade pendant hung on his waist like a decent, and the temperament of the whole person looked completely different from when he was in Zhu Ziguo.
When did this guy come to Chang'an?
This was obviously not Qin Lu's expectation, at first he thought he was wrong, but when he rubbed his eyes and looked again, he was still the image of the extremely obscene old man.
"Little brother, don't go! Give me a chance, the old man's hexagram is really spiritual! ”
The Divine Machine Daoist didn't notice Qin Lu, and Wu Zi was there to solicit guests, but unfortunately, even if he changed into a new outfit, the Divine Machine Daoist was still the same as usual, the stall was empty, and he couldn't even see a fly.
"Phew! A bunch of idiots! ”
Seeing another guest slip out of his hand, the old man finally couldn't hold back, and spat on the ground fiercely.
"Lao Tzu is willing to help you calculate the fortune, that is the blessing you have cultivated in your previous life, and you will not take advantage of it, you are really stupid!"
"So, how about helping me do the math?"
Just as the Daoist of the Divine Machine was about to close the stall and leave, Qin Lu walked over slowly, "Dao Chief, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
"It's you!"
At first glance, when he saw Qin Lu, the Taoist Master of the Divine Machine was also overjoyed, obviously he didn't expect to meet Qin Lu on the street, and the corners of his mouth grinned to the side of his ears, "Haha, why are you here, sit down quickly!" ”
The fortune-telling stall of the god machine is basically the same as in the TV series, as Qin Lu thought.
A shabby table that I don't know where it came from, plus a rag full of large characters, hangs on a bamboo pole in such a daze, and you can understand what it is doing at a glance.
However, after Zhu Ziguo felt a failed divination, Qin Lu lost interest in it, and exchanged a few words with the Taoist Chief, and then asked him about coming to Chang'an.
"Hehe, I'm originally from Chang'an! Wouldn't it be normal to come back? The Divine Machine Dao Master stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this, I am also a disciple of the fifteenth sect, but the martial arts are not smooth, and the road is a little off......"
"Oh? What sect are you from? ”
Qin Lu asked casually, but in fact, looking at the other party's outfit, he had probably guessed the other party's sect.
"It's not just a talent, but a disciple of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain."
In the human race, Fang Cun Mountain is the only Taoist sect, Qin Lu is not surprised at all that the Dao Master of the Divine Machine is a disciple of Fang Cun Mountain, but as a disciple of the fifteen sects, he has mixed up to the point of setting up a stall to tell fortunes, Qin Lu is still a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, the Divine Machine Daoist talked about the matter of coming to Chang'an, it turned out that not long after Qin Lu left, I don't know what happened, what happened on Qilin Mountain reached the ears of the people of Zhu Ziguo in a strange way.
Qilin Mountain is only a few tens of kilometers away from Zhu Ziguo, and a big man-eating monster has appeared on the mountain, which is definitely explosive news for those residents who live around Zhu Ziguo.
Worried that his village would be attacked, dozens of villages, large and small, around Zhu Ziguo gathered together and jointly reported to the government, asking the government to send troops to encircle and suppress those monsters and eliminate harm for the people. Zhu Ziguo is not big, and the city is full of storms and storms with this sudden incident, and the Shenji Daoist sees that the situation is serious, so he comes back and prepares to hide for a while.
"Wait a minute, hasn't that thing been cleaned up, where did the monster come from?!"
After listening to the explanation of the Divine Machine, Qin Lu was greatly surprised, he was also present when he cleaned up those meat monsters, except for the part stored in the coffin, the other pieces of meat should have been disposed of, how could there be a cannibal monster again?!
"How do you know they've been cleaned up?"
Suddenly, the Divine Machine Dao Master suddenly realized: "I see, I said how could I see the chief disciple of the Transformation Temple in Zhu Ziguo, the things on Qilin Mountain were made by you, right!" ”
"Wait a minute, you haven't made it clear, what happened on Qilin Mountain, and even the government was alarmed? I remember that there was only a pile of residues left! ”
"Residue? That thing is invisible, how can it leave residue?! ”
There was an awkward silence, and the bull head didn't talk to the horse for a long time, and the two finally realized that the focus of the conversation didn't seem to be on the same channel.
"Wait, let me take it easy."
Thinking a little confused, Qin Lu stretched out his hand to stop the Shenji Daoist who wanted to speak, and rubbed his temples vigorously, wanting to relieve his increasingly swollen and painful head.
"Are you saying that the residents around Zhu Ziguo discovered that there were man-eating monsters on Qilin Mountain, and then jointly reported to the official mansion, preparing to invite troops to encircle and suppress them?!"
"That's right, that's pretty much it......"
The Divine Machine Dao Master was still out of the situation, and said with a glare.
"Have you seen that monster?" Qin Lu frowned, "What the hell does it look like, a bunch of disgusting tentacles, or is it just a big piece of meat?" ”
Qin Lu thought that he had described it clearly enough, but the next sentence of the Divine Machine Daoist made him stunned directly.
"What tentacles, isn't that a bunch of dark shadows? What the hell are you talking about? ”
What the hell is the Black Shadow?
Could there be any other creature hiding in the mountains besides that pile of meat?!
Qin Lu felt that there were more and more question marks in his head, when he first withdrew from Qilin Mountain, he was in a state of confusion, and the words of the Divine Dao Master were equivalent to pouring another bag of soil into the already turbid water, which was really confused and confused.
"No, I'll have to ask!" The more I thought about it, the more strange it became, Qin Lu couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart anymore, and stood up directly from the chair, "I have something urgent, let's go first!" Come back another day! ”
After that, without waiting for the Divine Machine Daoist to stay, Qin Lu left the fortune-telling booth and hurriedly walked in the direction of the Tang Dynasty Mansion.
Cheng Susu is the only person Qin Lu can think of, who may know the inside story, considering that Cheng Susu has a lot of work, he was embarrassed to bother, but these things that happened when he came in finally made him a little unbearable, and he wanted to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
It's just that the result disappointed Qin Lu again......
A whole week has passed, Cheng Susu still hasn't come back, Qin Lu came to the Tang Dynasty Mansion, but all he got was the news that the other party was not in Chang'an.
"Why is the mission so urgent that you forgot to retrieve your mount?"
Looking at Jia Tiancheng, who brought him tea, Qin Lu asked.
"Master personally arranged it, how can a little person like me know about it......"
Jia Tiancheng didn't think much about it, "Besides, Senior Sister is more than this auspicious head, and there is nothing left for Brother Qin, so don't worry about it......"
