Chapter 40: The Magi (I)

"Mom and Dad!" When the boy heard the leech shout, he immediately flew out.

Xiang Ling was much more down-to-earth, paced out leisurely, bowed, and said, "Welcome Mr. and Mrs. back-"

Ligia, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, was a little embarrassed, and no one introduced him, so he had to stand there.

I saw that Hua Jiuxi and Lakshmi had a much darker complexion, with garlands around their necks and large bags in their hands. Behind it is the beast-shaped Lu Wu, and there is even more sundries on its back.

"You ...... Went to Hawaii? Leech was speechless for a while, looking at Hua Jiuxi's faces full of smiles, there should have been no twists and turns.

"The sun in Shaoguang City is already very poisonous." Hua Jiuxi put the salute on the ground indiscriminately, and said to Lijia: "You are Miss Lijia, leeches often mention you." ”

"yes, he's always talking to me about you." Rikia replied, "You're a very important person to him—but I'm curious how he describes me." ”

The leech didn't know what Hua Jiuxi was going to talk nonsense, so he was busy with a look.

"Speak like Laxmi's sister – Laxmi is the sister." Hua Jiuxi put his hands on Laxmi's shoulders and said softly.

"Is that a compliment to us?" Laxmi said, "Hello little sister, it's great that we have another partner. ”

Compared to Xiang Ling's 10,000-year-old iceman, Laxmi was obviously much gentler - she hurriedly greeted Ligia and went to hug Xiang Ling.

"Everyone sat down and talked, we walked all the way, and we were a little tired." Hua Jiuxi said, and ran to the study first and sat down.

The leeches moved with the man.

The study was large but empty, because the original owner didn't read much, and only a few walls of bookcases were left with nothing. Laxmi filled part of his own book collection, plus Hua Jiuxi's contribution, which was far from enough.

"Tell me about the story of the past few days - I know it's not very peaceful." Hua Jiuxi said, "Little leech, you have a little internal injury - even Xiangling's breath is a little wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Xiang Ling was a little curious.

"It's scary." Hua Jiuxi said, "It's the residual murderous aura - hanging over your head like a big bird." ”

"Then why don't I have it on me?" Leech asked, pointing to himself.

"Because you're a cruel monster." Hua Jiuxi blinked his eyes and said, "You can cut off an old man's arm without hesitation like a game—and Princess Xiangling, as far as I can observe on weekdays, is a person who doesn't even want to scold cats and dogs." ”

"Once the killing intent appears, it will be difficult to subside." Hua Jiuxi said.

"It's because I haven't worked hard enough to nourish my qi." Xiang Ling said.

"Dad, why did you say sister?" The boy was a little unhappy.

"Nope." Hua Jiuxi defended for a while.

"My sister saved us and killed all the bad guys." The boy pouted.

"That's right—" Lygia interjected with difficulty.

"Are you hurt, are you badly hurt?" When Laxmi heard this, he hurriedly walked over, touching the forehead of the blind boy with one hand and putting the other on the leech's arm. She used her spiritual power to observe the internal organs of the two and found that there was no major problem.

"Well, I see where the house has been destroyed - and those remaining corpses, a few turtle shells, it looks like the battle is fierce." Hua Jiuxi said, "Leech, tell me how this battle happened!" ”

He knew that he had to praise the leech well, but he couldn't be too direct, so he let him blow the conch himself, and he just nodded and applauded. Leech said this with added fuel and vinegar, and the self in the story seemed to be more than ten times braver, but he finally let Hua Jiuxi know the truth of the matter.

Ligia just laughed from the side.

"So, this needs Laxmi's help?" Hua Jiuxi only came to this sentence after listening to it.

"It's incumbent." Laxmi stood up and said, "And this matter involves Japanese yokai, perhaps something related to the incident we want to investigate." ”

"Okay, Xiaomi, when can you handle it?" Hua Jiuxi asked.

"It's ten minutes at midnight, when spirits are the most active—all kinds of rituals can be carried out smoothly, and the human spirit is too disturbing during the day." Laxmi said.

"I feel like a guinea pig......" Lygia looked down at herself, her white dressing gown being swept in the morning breeze.

Only then did the leech notice that Ligia was so arrogant that she was actually walking around and chatting in her nightgown. But fortunately, Hua Jiuxi's family is not a serious person.

"By the way, I'll give you a gift in the evening." Hua Jiuxi said, "This time, from Shaoguangcheng, my sisters and sisters have sent a lot of good things, and everyone can get a few." Before that, I first went out and sent the spirit net to Luo Yue. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Ling handed a stack of documents to Hua Jiuxi, and Laxmi also came up to look at it.

"Sir, this is the information that you and Madame have been out for a few days, and the Youji and the Moths Society have recorded. This includes the location where the yokai kimono fell, the data of the activities of the Toyo demons, and so on. But because our people are not trained, we often find miscalculations – which I also have a bit of a headache for. Xiang Ling said.

There was something that could make Xiang Ling feel "headache", Hua Jiuxi took a hasty look at it, and transferred it to Lakshmi: "You two sisters can discuss it first." ”

Then he easily threw off the responsibility, Hua Jiuxi carried the box, brought the weapon, left the flower house, and walked towards Luo Yue's office - before he could go out, he was stopped by Xiang Ling.

"Now there's an easier way." Xiang Ling said, "Miss Pianpian hasn't appeared for a long time—"

"Oh yes, she's a flying youkai too." Hua Jiuxi said, "Didn't she also say that she sent a lot of butterflies to follow us? ”

"I checked, and a theater garden not far from us is one of Pianpian's strongholds. They have the ability to carry heavy loads into the sky - sir, you're thinking of a way to get those huge objects away. Xiang Ling said.

These words hit the bull's-eye. Hua Jiuxi and Lakshmi came back in a flash by the Shinto Path—you have to ask why you didn't use this Shinto when you went, because there was only a one-way route from Shaoguang City to everywhere. And the exit of this Shinto is another deep mountain.

It would be too difficult to transport the factory chimney-like spirit net machine to the sky. And he didn't want to deal with those Gu Yu birds again.

"That...... They won't charge for it. Hua Jiuxi asked cautiously.

"No, because it's Pian Pian herself who carries such a heavy load." Xiang Ling said, "Even if it's a small favor." ”

"That'...... So Xiang Ling, you should follow me. Hua Jiuxi said.

"No, I'm going to wait for the termites to mend the house. Then, Madame was still at home, and she couldn't just play with the children. Xiang Ling explained.

For a perfect reason, Hua Jiuxi could only bite the bullet and go by himself - take the address given by Xiang Ling.

This theater is indeed not far away, Hua Jiuxi originally thought that it was just some ordinary Sichuan opera, but he saw the water sign in front of the door with such a few tracks:

"King Ma Xian", "Troubled in the High", "Tong Guan Sweeping the North", "Yurong Meiqin" and so on.

"It's all unheard of drama titles." Hua Jiuxi frowned, and bought a ticket at a high price, but it hurt him.

I didn't come here to listen to the play, the conditions of the stage between them were so good - it was even more beautiful than Shanghai World or anything - countless optical butterflies created a stage effect like a fantasy. Because the opera actors themselves are also monsters that can change, some ultra-difficult movements can be perfectly displayed, and the horns are all songbird monsters, and the variety of singing voices is far better than that of humans.

He felt that his vote was worth it, but it was important to get down to business—so he went to the class owner and asked to see Mrs. Pianpin.

"This master is just in time, her old man is in the background right now, and it's gone-" The class leader is a little poor.

"Look at this." Hua Jiuxi lit up his big seal.

"Oops, I have no eyes, it turns out to be the insect head grandfather." The class leader immediately kowtowed a few times, Hua Jiuxi thought to himself that such an old-fashioned person would not let him kowtow as if he was pulling his meat, so he would not stop him.

When he came backstage, Mr. saw a group of clean horns with hooked faces, and some of them played gods and monsters and directly showed their true appearances. And those one, two, three, four, five, six, seven Dan (this is the saying of Kunqu Opera), not to mention how beautiful they are, Hua Jiuxi was dazzled for a while.

I saw a girl in a pink coat, sitting on a Taishi chair in the middle of the school: "Not bad, Hua Ye." ”

Hua Jiuxi saw Pian Pian saying this to herself, and said with a righteous face: "It's good to look good-can you do it as smoothly as singing when you start with people?" ”

"Hook your face and sing, take off your makeup and kill people." Pian Pian knocked on the small and delicate cigarette stick in her hand and said, "In the past, there was often that kind of grass platform team that roamed around, doing the business of killing people and stealing goods-"

"For the time being, there is no shadow of the enemy, but I really have something to ask your sister for you." Hua Jiuxi said with a smile on his face.

"What is the birth? Go ahead. Pian Pian herself is really good at talking, as mentioned before, insects do not cherish others and their own lives, so they often "make a promise" like this.

"I want to transport some bulk goods to Luo Yue's lair." Hua Jiuxi said.

Fluttering eyes - this is a great opportunity to get a glimpse of Luo Yue's stronghold, and the teacher is famous, but it is not good to agree directly: "Hua Ye, you know, I am a little ...... with Xiao Luo Yue She's also taken in a lot of my bad guys. ”

Hua Jiuxi also persuaded a few words indiscriminately, and Pian Pian agreed by borrowing the donkey from the slope.

"Can you give you a rough description of the thing you're going to take away—the size and weight?" Pian Pian tugged at the hem of her cheongsam—but Hua Jiuxi wasn't interested in her thighs.

"Well, it's just a kind of flesh column that is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, similar to a large chimney, about three meters high, and then about two meters in diameter. Can it be pulled away? Hua Jiuxi said, "There are a total of twelve such machines. ”

"Weight." Pian Pian asked repeatedly.

"It's not clear how much pork weighs in the same volume?" Hua Jiuxi said, "This thing is also a creature in itself. ”

"Oh, as long as it's not iron, it's easy to do, and I can pull it away by myself - take me to unload." Pian Pian said.

She was full of confidence, as if she was just going to the street to buy food. But Hua Jiuxi was a little suspicious when she saw that she was so petite.

Fortunately, the empty mountain where the spirit net was hidden was not far away, and the two of them galloped on their horses for half an hour before they could see something yellow emerging from the edge of the mountain, which was the pillar of flesh that released the spirit net.
