Chapter 14: Cover-up

Changsheng and the others returned to the meeting place, just after noon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiang Qu They were worrying about how to find the lamp when they found nothing, when they saw Lu'er Lehe's baby holding his lost lantern, Jiang Qu said, "Is this lantern?" Where did you find it? ”

Changsheng told them about Madame Mao, and Lu'er added, "There was a man dead in that room." Changsheng originally thought that the merchant surnamed Mao was just sucked yang qi and was depressed, but he was very surprised to hear Lu'er say that he was dead.

Jiang Qu hurriedly covered Lu'er's mouth, on the street, where did they think it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they could shout anything. He whispered, "You can't shout about this dead person, I'll go back and ask my father to go to the official mansion to find out the news, and you all treat yourself as if you haven't entered the Mao Mansion, you know?" ”

They came out of Mao's Mansion and said that they were going in to hunt demons, but it was just a one-sided statement without evidence, and the government might not accept it. To treat them as suspects, saying that they trespassed on people's houses to kill for money, it is really unclear.

Changsheng said, "Jiang Qu, you help me take a look at the hexagram, will something happen to him if he eats the monster's inner dan?" ”

Jiang Qu squatted down, stretched out his hand to touch the round little belly of the hexagram Liao, the hexagram covered it with both hands, and opened his mouth to show his two rows of snow-white teeth, silently warning Jiang Qu If he stretched out another half an inch, see if he would leave a tooth mark for him as a souvenir.

Jiang Qu didn't want to be bitten, so he asked instead, "What's uncomfortable?" ”

Hexagram Liao grimaced.

Jiang Qu said to Changsheng, "You see that he is alive and vigorous, and he is more energetic than me." No matter how short he is, he is still a god, and he shouldn't be so weak. ”

He only knew that if the monster devoured the inner dan of another monster, he would be able to absorb the other party's demon power as his own, and as for the god to eat it, whether it had the same effect, absorbed and transformed the demon, or dissolved it, he didn't know very well.

But it doesn't look like there's rejection.

Guayao said unhappily, "Where am I short, my daughter-in-law clearly said that I have grown a little taller, and she will make me new clothes when I go back." ”

Lu'er crooked her mouth and said, "That's Sister Changsheng coaxing you, you are obviously shorter than me." Not only are you shorter than me, but your horns are smaller than mine. ”

"Your horns are strangely shaped, not as good-looking as mine!"

The two children began to quarrel again, but they would not shake hands and make peace just because they had just dealt with Mrs. Mao with the same hatred. Changsheng had no choice but to start coaxing them again.

Sima Lu said, "You said you just saw a strange lantern hanging in Mao's mansion?" ”

Changsheng nodded and described, "The lantern has a pair of large eyes drawn on it, like a cat's eye. ”

She also felt strange at first, although everyone's habits are different, and the lantern patterns made near the Mid-Autumn Festival should be different, but just drawing a pair of eyes is really special.

Now that she knows that Mrs. Mao is a cat, she guesses whether there is any connection between the two, maybe it is still Mrs. Mao's self-portrait.

Lu'er said, "I also saw the lantern, it's not a cat's eye, Lu'er thinks it's a tiger's eye." ”

Sima Lu said, "There are more than just people in this imperial capital. "There are many demons and monsters. If Kunlun Mountain is full of aura, ordinary demons can't get in, like a relatively simple side dish. The imperial capital is a hodgepodge, with all kinds of people and non-people living in one place. "If you can't find the smell of the monster, maybe it's covered up by something."

Changsheng scratched his head, "Cover-up? ”

Qian Ruyue really couldn't stand the stupidity of Changsheng, "What my cousin means is that maybe there are more powerful monsters in the imperial capital, and that monster covers the smell of the cat demon, and it's strange if you can find it." ”

Jiang Qu joked, "I heard that in ancient times, each god tribe had its own totem, the Shennong clan used the ox as the totem, and the totem of the Yellow Emperor was a turtle-like pattern. Perhaps the demons of the imperial capital also wanted to follow suit, using the patterns drawn on the lanterns as markers to distinguish friend from foe. ”
