Chapter 4: The First Sight
The next day, Luo An and the three of them were having lunch in the inn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I was really tired after running all day yesterday, I slept until noon, and we saved money for a meal." Luo An was playing treasure on the side again, and Ah Qi was still only eating and laughing.
Lechuan also shook his head and smiled: "Brother Luo and Miss Ah Qi, I went out for a walk again this morning, but I didn't see any trace of another group of people, this matter is a bit strange?" ”
"Could it be that they also noticed me yesterday and deliberately covered up their whereabouts today, so that this group of people is even more suspicious."
"Indeed, as Brother Luo said, maybe the breakthrough of the matter is in this group of people, so since then, we will divide the army into two ways, Brother Luo and Ah Qi continue to be responsible for finding clues about the temple fair, and I am responsible for tracking down the situation of this group of people."
"That's the way it should be."
Suddenly, Xiao Er's voice came from behind the three of them: "Hey, this girl, you haven't paid yet?" ”
"But I've lost my purse, what should I do?"
The three of them couldn't help but look back, it turned out to be a southern Xinjiang girl, wearing typical southern Xinjiang costumes, her round face looked very cute, and her bright eyes were extraordinarily bright, especially now that she was wronged, she was very pitiful, and the girl's age was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and if she grew up, she would be a beautiful embryo.
"Then what do you say, you can't afford not to pay for the meal, right?"
The girl's eyes were full of pleading, and she kept looking at the people around her with her big eyes, hoping to get help from the well-wishers around her. Seeing this scene, Luo An couldn't help but smile at Ah Qi, full of tacit understanding. Luo An walked to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, how much food money this girl owes, I'll pay it." ”
Xiao Er saw that it was Luo An, and immediately smiled: "It turned out to be you Shaoxia, you are willing to pay for this girl, then it is good to dare to be affectionate, and it will save me embarrassment." ”
Luo An didn't even look at the money bag, took out a silver ingot, threw it directly into the little second-hand, and took the girl back to the place where the three of them were sitting.
To be honest, Luo An really doesn't owe silver now, although he only had a few hundred taels of silver when he left the place where he lived, but the storage bag given by Granny Hai can be said to have everything, not to mention these ordinary gold and silver, the money in it is enough for Luo An to use for a lifetime.
Ah Qi couldn't help but ask first, "Girl, what's your name?" How can you be out there alone? ”
"Hello sister, my name is Jiufeng, I originally wanted to sneak out to play by myself, but I didn't expect to lose my money bag, and this is what happened just now."
"Little sister, you can't do this, your family will be worried, do we need to send you back?"
"No, no, I'm not going back, I haven't had enough fun, big brother is so good. Shall I just play with you? ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this gang also helped out a small tail, but no one refused, Luo An and none of them were worried that this girl would return alone, so they made a decision in their hearts, and secretly sent this girl home in person.
After a while, the girl became familiar with the three of them, and the three of them were quite helpless about the girl's heartless appearance, but they preferred the girl's happy appearance.
"Brother Luo, where are we going to go later?"
"Jiufeng, we'll check the situation in this city later, haven't you noticed that many people in this city are suddenly sick, we suspect it is related to the temple fair a few days ago, so we're going to check it out."
"Okay, okay, I'm going too, it sounds like fun."
Luo An is also a crazy character, so he naturally said immediately: "This is not a problem, Brother Luo will protect you when the time comes, let's take the adventure as a game." ”
"Brother Luo, where are we going to check?"
"Let's go to the temple first, the scholar suspects that there seems to be something wrong with the statue of Chiyou, and then we will use a jade talisman given by the scholar to test it, and go to see the situation first."
Before the three of them knew it, they had come to the front of the square, and found that the two priests were praying in front of the square, not knowing what they were chanting, and for some reason, they always felt as if the statue of Chiyou was about to come to life now.
Suddenly, the statue of Chiyou seemed to blink its eyes, and the southern Xinjiang people around the square knelt down one after another, kowtowing constantly. The two priests said loudly: "The great god Chiyou has appeared, he has heard our prayers, as long as our door sincerely asks him, the situation of our exit from the Chu King City will be fine soon."
Jiufeng was also about to kneel, but was stopped by Luo An: "Jiufeng, don't believe it now, and don't go to pray, listen to me." ”
Although Jiufeng was very puzzled, he still listened to Luo An's words seriously, and Luo An took out a jade talisman from the storage bag, and found that the color of the jade talisman slowly changed, and the color of the jade talisman gradually changed from crystal clear to black.
Jiufeng asked curiously, "Brother Luo, what is this, how can it change color?" ”
Luo An put away the jade talisman, and then said to Jiufeng: "This jade talisman is called the spirit talisman, which is specially used to test whether there are evil spirits, if the jade talisman changes color, it means that there are evil spirits here, it seems that the source of the change in Chu Wangcheng is here, we are going to come again tonight." ”
"Then Brother Luo, why didn't you let me bow down to the Great God of Chiyou just now?"
"This is another speculation of the scholar, the scholar said that on the day of the temple fair, he used the technique of looking at qi to discover that the power of faith in the city of Chu was gathered at the temple, and then many people fell ill the next day, and the scholar suspected that there might be a connection between them."
"I see, thank you Brother Luo for reminding me, otherwise I will get seriously ill, I hate being sick the most."
Luo An turned his head to Ah Qi and smiled: "Ah Qi, let's go back first, and wait until tonight when we come with the scholar." ”
Ah Qi also replied with a smile, which was regarded as a reply.
After the three of them returned to the inn, they found that Lethe had already returned to the inn, and Luo An quickly told Lethe about the discovery of several people. After listening to this, Lechuan finally smiled: "Finally found the source, tonight we will go to see what is in the statue, dare to hurt the people in the city like this, but it's a pity, I spent so long today and didn't find any traces of that group of people, I really don't know where they are hiding." ”
"It doesn't matter where they hide, as long as we go and kill the evil spirit inside the idol in a few nights, we're done, and then we're going to leave here, so what's the point?"
"Brother Luo's words are not right, if that group of talents is behind the scenes, we must find out their identities before we can leave with confidence."
"Yes, yes. Or is Brother Scholar right, Brother Luo, how can you give up halfway in doing things? ”
"Okay, okay, I'll just listen to you, and when we're done dealing with this matter, we'll tell the identities of that group of people before leaving."
Finally waited for the night, the four of them sneakily came to the square of the Chu King City, and the four of them felt a little cold as soon as they came here, and they couldn't help but tighten the clothes on their bodies.
Lechuan took out the jade talisman again and threw it into the air, the jade talisman suddenly vibrated violently, and the color also changed violently, and it was quickly covered with a layer of black.
"Scholar, what the hell is going on?"
"There are evil spirits here, and I need to do something to get rid of them."
When Luo An heard this, he threw out a large bag of things directly from the storage bag: "I know that you want to get rid of the demon, you see, the black donkey's hooves, dog blood, Romi, everything I have ready for you." ”
Lechuan couldn't help but shake his head: "Brother Luo, who told you to use these things to kill demons?" ”
Luo An scratched his head a little embarrassed: "When I was a child, I used to talk about this when I listened to book reviews. ”
"Brother Luo, that's all a lie, even a real Taoist heir wouldn't do it, not to mention that I'm still a Confucian."
Lethe suddenly burst out of his body with a burst of light, which started from the heart, Lethe didn't know what to mumble in his mouth, and suddenly formed a glow full of golden words in the sky above the statue, and gradually formed a whirlpool, which seemed to have a great suction, and there was a pitch-black object that appeared from the statue. Luo An and the three of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak at this time.
Lethe saw something come out, he didn't dare to take it lightly, the speed of reading things became faster and faster, the pitch-black humanoid spirit kept roaring, but it had no effect, little by little it was exposed and entered the golden vortex, but after a while, after fully entering, the vortex disappeared along with the monster.
"Scholar, is this the end of the matter?"
"Well, the monster has been killed."
"It's so easy, scholar, can you teach me?"
"Forget that big brother doesn't care about Luo An, he has a copy of Jiuyang Qi Refining, but he never practiced."
"I can't even understand what to practice."
Lethe was about to say something, but suddenly his ears moved: "I don't know which senior is here, why don't you come out and see it?" ”
There was a commotion, and there were four sounds of breaking the air from the air, and then they appeared in front of Luo An and the others. Lethe Chuan bent over: "But I don't know what the four seniors have to say?" ”
A middle-aged man at the head said, "The disciples of the Pure Yang Academy are really polite. ”
"The Chi Youbu of the Jiuli tribe is really handsome."
"The kid's eyes are very sharp, the old man is indeed from the Jiuli tribe, but Xiaoyou's eyes don't seem to be very bright."
Accompanied by the old man's voice, Jiu Feng actually slowly walked towards the four Jiuli elders......
