Chapter 47: The Bookstore (Part II)
Perhaps because of the organism's thunder, the balls each slammed into the nearest villain. How can the strength of those little people's feet compare to the electric light? After being hit by the ball, it was immediately blown to pieces and turned into dry ink - and the books they landed on were left with circular holes.
"Oh, that's what this thing is doing!" The boss nodded, "Then the little gentleman - how can we take him?" Only now did he feel that Hua Jiuxi was really a capable person.
"It's okay to take him whenever you want—I'll have to give you the ins and outs." Hua Jiuxi said, "This kind of monster is called 'Mo Lei Gong', and it usually grows in the library building - they will go around and see monsters formed according to the drawings - and they will bombard them before they become a climate." Boss, you have too many filthy pictures - that's why you attracted Mo Leigong to it. This thing is condensed by righteous qi - how can it be destroyed? ”
The boss let out an "oh" and said, "But can't you teach this thing to destroy all my collection?" ”
"So I'll tell you a way—" said Hua Jiuxi, "I'll leave you this white gourd, and you sprinkle a little bit on these figures every three months—and then concentrate on driving those little people out—and let Mo Lei Gong chop them to death." It's not easy for monsters to generate, and after repeating it a few times, they know that you're unlucky, so they don't dare to breed. ”
"Oh, you great kindness." The boss's mouth trembled, "I just had to collect your money - I don't want it, which book you read, just take it." ”
Hua Jiuxi smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll be disrespectful." As he spoke, he took off the white gourd and threw it into the hands of the boss in a chic manner.
The two of them stepped out from behind the screen—the Morley horse was startled, but instead of looking elsewhere, he flew toward the outhouse.
Hua Jiuxi hurriedly tracked down the past - and saw an incredible scene.
The Mo Lei Gong landed firmly in the hands of the young man in the shop just now, as if he were playing with a parrot.
"Who are you?" This is the voice of Xiang Ling.
She shook the umbrella in her hand and stopped between the young man and Hua Jiuxi.
"Forget about Xiang Ling, I can't detect the evil spirit from this person." Hua Jiuxi said to Xiang Ling, and she immediately walked to Hua Jiuxi's side.
The young man immediately let Mo Lei Gong go and said softly, "Although it is small, it is also the protector of all beings, isn't it?" ”
Hua Jiuxi began to take a closer look at the young man—dressed in an old-fashioned brown kimono with an unseasonable scarf around his neck. However, the man's eyebrows and eyes were slender, and he looked gloomy and handsome, and his tone was also gentle.
"You're a sorcerer too?" Hua Jiuxi asked.
"Sort of." The youth nodded.
"Are you an Oriental?" Hua Jiuxi continued to ask, "But I can't hear the voice." ”
"I've been on the mainland for a long time — maybe older than you are." The youth said with a smile.
"Do you know my age, too?" Xiang Ling asked curiously.
"I can only guess - I don't have your scales on hand, after all." The young man said, "In our country, most dragons are three-clawed, but five-clawed dragons like you basically don't. ”
Xiang Ling was surprised for a while, he actually saw through his identity at a glance - even Hua Jiuxi couldn't do this.
"So, it looks like you're curious about me?" The young man fumbled around his body, and finally took out an old business card, that is, a thorn, and handed it to Hua Jiuxi.
"Chao Ji - is this your Chinese name?" Hua Jiuxi asked.
Chao Ji nodded and said, "Names are very important things for human beings - different names represent different identities of this person - and now this name represents me now." ”
"Please stop this godly chatter - is Your Excellency trying to scare us?" Hua Jiuxi pouted and said.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Chao Ji smiled awkwardly, "Because I haven't met the same kind for a long time, I just say something inconsequential, forgive me." ”
"Well, after all, the magicians communicate in small circles." Hua Jiuxi said, "But I haven't heard of such an Oriental existence. ”
"Because I'm always in the middle of the city—it's rare to see it in the mountains." Chao Ji said, "I guess your next step is to ask me what is the purpose of coming to the mainland?" Yes, after all, the situation is very tense now, and I am also unconditionally regarded as an enemy by you. ”
Hua Jiuxi thought that this person was still self-aware, so he said: "After all, this matter is related to the safety of everyone in our country. ”
"Well, all I can say is that I'm not an enemy." "I also used to serve the Yamato Imperial Court – but that was many years ago, and now I'm a free man. It's not a secret service or anything else. You're very inspired, little brother - then I'll show you if I'm lying! ”
As he spoke, he took out an iron box, and Hua Jiuxi knew that this was a common candy box.
"Let's play a game, how about it?" Super opened the box and took out a candy with a green watermelon pattern, "Little brother, do you recognize this thing?" ”
"Rachimaru." Hua Jiuxi said, "This is used to interrogate criminals with spells, and it was invented by Gaotao back then." At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zuo Ci was arrested, and no torture worked, only a thunder tongue pill made him tell the truth. ”
"How about you and I swallow one each, and ask each other five words?" Chao Ji suggested.
Hua Jiuxi took the two thunder tongue pills and checked them, they were all true. After a moment of hesitation, I agreed.
Begin.
Of course, Hua Jiuxi had to ask first, so he asked these five questions:
"Have you ever killed an innocent Chinese?"
"Nope."
"What is the purpose of your trip?"
"Look for clues about my origins."
"If we have a conflict with your parents' country in the future, who will you help?"
"If the egg were to be compared to the wall, I would choose to be on the side of the egg."
"Did you come across us on purpose?"
"Yes."
"Finally, what's your real name?"
“——”
Although this last answer was shocking, Hua Jiuxi guessed it early in the morning, so he whispered to Xiang Ling: "This person is an old monster dozens of times older than us......
"Uh-huh—you've asked me so many questions. It's time for me to ask you—but I don't even know your name? Chao Ji asked.
"Ah, I thought you had already investigated me." Hua Jiuxi said, "Didn't you squat in this store early in the morning?" ”
Chao Ji shook his head and said, "No, I observed that little girl's huge demonic power, so I ambushed you at your destination in advance. After all, it's hard to see such a big monster, and I tried to strike up a conversation with this little girl while you were dealing with that Murray Gong - but she ignored me at all. ”
It turned out that what he noticed was Xiang Ling.
"Okay." Hua Jiuxi was actually a little disappointed with these words.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Hua Jiuxi."
"Where have you been in the last month?"
Hua Jiuxi said in heaven and earth.
"Do you think this little girl is cute?"
Hua Jiuxi glanced at Xiang Ling and replied, "Cute." ”
"So-" Hua Jiuxi felt that this person wanted to ask some out-of-the-ordinary question on this basis, and if Hua Jiuxi told a lie, the pills would explode in the stomach—at least for a week.
He waved his hand hurriedly.
"Well, well, one last question - are you looking forward to our next meeting?"
"Honestly, there are some." Hua Jiuxi replied.
"Okay then—that's it for today—goodbye." Chao Ji waved his hand lazily, went out, and disappeared into the street.
"This gentleman is weird—but not obnoxious." Xiang Ling said.
"I feel like we can solve a lot of mysteries with this man." Hua Jiuxi's words changed, "Xiangling, you said that you don't hate him, so why didn't you pay attention to him when he accosted you?" ”
"We have a task on our shoulders, and of course we have to put confidentiality first." Xiang Ling said.
Hua Jiuxi was ashamed for a while, and Xiang Ling's image in his heart was a little taller.
This is the Monday morning in Huajiuxi, without any waves.
And what about the morning of the leeches?
Since yesterday morning, Leech's ears have been filled with big news - so-and-so classmate is dropping out of school - I don't know where to go. In this small school, which mainly caters to foreigners, the movement of students is a normal thing. The return of a parent or a trip to any other place can lead to the migration of a child.
Because it's common, there won't be too many students who feel sorry for it.
But why did this classmate's departure cause a sensation this time - because she is recognized as a beautiful girl in the middle school.
