The little boy "came as promised", and deliberately threw Keju to himself as expected, Pu Zixuan saw that everything was developing according to plan, and a subtle sneer suddenly appeared on his face, so he turned around and faced the boy.

Although he had only seen the boy once before, he had already remembered the unkempt image of the boy, and seeing that the two throwers were the same person, Pu Zixuan was even more sure that he was the target, so he deliberately pretended to look around to find the source of the sound, and when his eyes swept to the carriage, he glanced at Su Sanniang at the window of the carriage.

At this time, the little boy was still some distance away from Pu Zixuan, and the distance from the carriage was even farther, if he walked directly over and grabbed the boy and ran to the carriage, it would inevitably attract the attention of passers-by on the street.

Pu Zixuan saw that the carriage had already started to move, so he shouted at the little boy to delay time: "Hey, why are you again?" It's the second time today. ”

The little boy obviously didn't realize that Pu Zixuan was making a plan, and looked a little uneasy, and said crampedly: "I'm really sorry, it turned out to be you, brother, I will trouble you to help me this time, I will definitely pay attention next time." ”

Pu Zixuan saw that the carriage was gradually approaching the little boy, so he picked up Keju and walked towards the little boy, pretending to be concerned: "It's okay, I also like Keju, why don't you play with you?" ”

Just when Pu Zixuan walked up to the little boy, Su Sanniang had already arrived at the two of them in the carriage, not one step earlier, not one step later, just the moment Pu Zixuan approached the little boy, he hugged him with one hand with lightning speed, covered his mouth with the other, and flew into the carriage in an instant.

Subsequently, Su Sanniang also returned to the carriage, without attracting the attention of passers-by at all, and the juju fell to the ground.

Closing the curtain of the carriage, Pu Zixuan immediately changed his fierce face and said: "But I caught you monster, you open your eyes and take a good look, the three of us, do you recognize them?" ”

The child's mouth was covered, his eyes were wide open in horror, and he looked at the three of them, even more frightened and helpless.

Pu Zixuan threatened: "Don't shout, or I'll tear you!" Then he let go of the child's mouth.

The little boy finally had room to breathe, and gasped, "What youkai?" I'm not a youkai...... I don't know anything! ”

"Hmph, still want to quibble? Take a good look at my purifying power! After Pu Zixuan finished speaking, he was already covered in blue light, summoning the Galaxy Dragon King.

According to common sense, when the Star River Dragon King appears, the height of his spirit unicorn head will be higher than Pu Zixuan's head, and anyone who can see the spirit body will instinctively raise his eyes and look around, who knows, this boy is completely indifferent to the Star River Dragon King, and still just stares at Pu Zixuan in despair and says: "It's not me, it's not me!" I don't understand anything! ”

Su Sanniang wondered: "It's strange, this kid doesn't seem to see your spirit body, is it a mortal?" Wait for me to take a look. ”

After speaking, Su Sanniang stretched out her hand to move the boy's face to her side, and after taking a serious look at the weak light that came through the gap between the door curtain and the curtain, she frowned and said, "No, this boy is not the same person as the one I saw in the barracks last night." ”

Zhu Yuanliang wondered: "Could it be that they are indeed just ordinary children, but they are being used?" ”

The little boy suddenly nodded at Zhu Yuan and said: "Yes, yes, I really don't know anything, but there is an uncle who gave me that keju, and asked me to find a way to let this brother touch it, and said that after the matter is completed, give me a penny as a reward."

。 I thought that I could earn a penny so easily and have a full meal, so I agreed. However, in the morning I made a mistake and got the ball on you, and when I didn't complete the task, I went to the uncle to intercede and see if he could give me a penny, and the uncle told me to wait a little longer, saying that you would probably come back to the city, and that I would give me money after I had completed the task. ”

Su Sanniang said: "I see, this kid was really used, and in this way, we camped last night and happened to be not far from a village, thinking about it, it should be that monster also spent money in that village to hire another boy to earn me a trick." ”

Pu Zixuan asked the little boy again: "So, who is the person you are talking about?" Where is it now? ”

The little boy replied: "I don't know him, and I have never met him in Huzhou City before, but I remember his appearance, he looks thirty or forty years old, five big and three thick, he said, he drank tea on the second floor of the Junfeng Tea House over there and waited for me, and when I completed the task, I went to him to receive the reward." ”

As soon as they saw the boy tell the appearance and location of the enemy, the three of them suddenly felt a little more at ease, and Pu Zixuan said sharply: "Now you will take us to him." ”

The little boy hesitated, "I don't dare...... The uncle said that his identity must not be revealed, and I don't know who is a good person and who is a bad person between the two of you, how do I know who I should help? ”

Pu Zixuan saw that although the little boy was threatened by the three of them, he did not lose his integrity, so he smiled indifferently, let him go completely, let him sit on the seat, and asked kindly: "So, do you know how much trouble that Keju has caused us?" ”

The little boy asked rhetorically, "I just don't understand, how much trouble can a small juju bring?" Why is it worth being so nervous? ”

"I really don't want to tell you the truth, I'm afraid it will scare you, but if you don't tell you the truth, you won't know what you've done." Pu Zixuan thought that he had already touched Keju just now, and his body should have begun to become transparent, so he opened the curtain of the carriage, pulled up his trouser legs, and said, "That uncle is the bad guy, more precisely, he is a monster, and that Keju is dyed with his demonic power, whoever touches it in the flesh will be stolen from the shadow, and his body will become transparent from the feet, now, you should see it clearly, right?" ”

With the light shining into the carriage, the little boy lowered his head to see his shadow clearly, but there was no black shadow behind the three of them, and even Pu Zixuan's ankles had begun to become transparent.

The little boy exclaimed, "How can this happen? However, I've also encountered Keju, so I'm going to ...... too."

Su Sanniang comforted: "Don't be afraid, child, the target of the monster is not you, you do things for him, he naturally can't let you be frightened, so he has excluded you from the demon power." However, if you don't help us lift this curse, and wait until the three of us die, you will be an indirect murderer, and you will be at ease in this life? ”

The little boy said with a backbone: "No, I don't want to kill people, although I occasionally do some petty theft, but it is all forced by life, and I will never do such a thing as murder!" ”

Pu Zixuan sighed and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Zhou Lao Er."

"I'm not talking about rankings, I'm talking about names."

The little boy responded: "Zhou Lao Er, is my name, my father and mother gave birth to a total of nine children, except for my eldest brother has a name, and then he was too lazy to get up, so he went from the second child to the ninth child, they said, anyway, if you have one more baby, you will have one more person to beg for food, the name or something, it doesn't matter." ”

Zhu Yuanliang sighed

said: "You have seven younger brothers and sisters for such a big doll, your father and mother, I'm afraid you have to give birth to one a year, right?" ”

Zhou Lao Er responded: "Almost, after giving birth to Zhou Lao Jiu, my mother died, and among the nine of us, the sixth and eighth also died." Dad gave away the young seven and nine and took our five living children to beg for food. You say, if someone gives me a penny, can I not earn it? However, if I had known that man was a monster, I would not have earned this bloody money! ”

Pu Zixuan looked at the poor and respectable child in front of him, with mixed feelings, and said: "Don't be too sad, at least the three of us are safe for the time being, as long as we get rid of that monster, everything will return to its original state, how about it, now, are you willing to take us to him?" ”

Seeing that the three of them were fully capable of forcing themselves to lead the way, they had a reasonable conversation with themselves, and for a moment felt the respect that they had never felt in their lives, and nodded decisively: "Okay, I'll wait for you to go to him, I won't earn this money!" ”

Pu Zixuan smiled with satisfaction: "Although you can't earn that penny, you will earn more money." After speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his bosom and said: "This is for you, when the time comes, you let your father and brothers and sisters have a full meal, and for the rest, rent a house and live a good life for a few days." ”

Zhou Lao Er couldn't believe his eyes, took the silver, and immediately knelt down and said: "Brother, thank you so much, I really met the Great Bodhisattva today!" ”

If it were in normal times, Su Sanniang would inevitably sneer at Pu Zixuan's move to open up the way with money, but now she responded with a knowing smile.

Without much to say, the three of them carried Zhou Lao Er under his guidance, and after a short time, they came to the downstairs of Junfeng Teahouse.

Pu Zixuan poked his head out of the car window to take a look, this teahouse is a two-story layout, the first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is a spacious teahouse, there is no one on the first floor at present, but there are many people sitting at a table for three or five people on the second floor, but looking from downstairs, you can't see the whole picture of the second floor.

Zhou Lao Er got out of the carriage, looked up and said, "It's not good, from here, I can't see that person." ”

"Okay, you wait, let's discuss." Pu Zixuan turned his head to Su Sanniang and Zhu Yuanliang and said, "What should I do, I can't see that person from downstairs, or, let's follow Zhou Lao Er upstairs and let him identify him?" ”

Su Sanniang immediately refused: "Are you crazy? At present, there is no shadow of the three of us, and there are so many people in the teahouse, it is inevitable that someone will find this anomaly...... What's more, what can Zhou Lao Er do if he identifies him? Can we still kill him in full view? If you can't get it once, you will be startled, and it will be difficult to find him again! ”

Pu Zixuan thought for a while and said, "Then, can you use your identity as the Sand King to gather a group of Heavenly Kingdom soldiers to find a crime to forcibly take him out?" ”

Su Sanniang said: "If you are helpless, you have no choice but to do so." However, at present, the war between our army and the Qing Demon is imminent, and Huang Wenjin, the king of blockage, is painstakingly trying to win the hearts of the people in the city, and I can't make this decision as soon as I come. Besides, the problem of shadows cannot be solved. ”

Pu Zixuan wondered: "Listening to you, it seems that there is a best strategy?" ”

Su Sanniang snorted and said, "Yes, why can we only go up to him, but can't we invite him down?" ”

Pu Zixuan was even more puzzled: "How are you going to invite him down?" ”

Su Sanniang smiled in return, spread her right hand and said, "This." ”

While speaking, I saw three little ghosts appearing on Su Sanniang's arm.

"Three corpses!"
