"Knock-"

Baili Miaoyin opened the door and saw Ji Jinnian, who was dressed in a dark robe, standing in front of the door. 、

"The dinner party is about to begin. ”

Baili Miaoyin bowed his head and followed the maid with him to the place of the dinner.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the dinner, Baili Miaoyin's brows were tightly locked without a trace, and her face was slightly gloomy. Ji Jinnian noticed that her face was wrong, and her eyebrows moved slightly.

"Two distinguished guests, please take a seat. "Truuk was warmly invited in the first place.

Ji Jinnian and Baili Miaoyin glanced at each other and sat down one after another.

After sitting down, Baili Miaoyin quietly looked at the mermaids of the entire dinner, and his face became more solemn.

"What's wrong?"

"A third of the people here have black gas on them. ”

When Ji Jinnian heard this, his face was slightly condensed, "Let's take a look first." ”

Baili Miaoyin bowed his head slightly.

At this time, Truuk, who was seated, spoke: "I would like to thank the two distinguished guests for today's business, and this cup is a tribute to the two distinguished guests." ”

Baili Miaoyin and Ji Jinnian glanced at each other, raised the cup in front of them, and took a sip.

"The two distinguished guests can live in the palace for a while longer, so that they can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Baili Miaoyin said: "Thank you for Churuk's kindness, although we can move freely underwater, but in the end we are still human monks, and it is not appropriate to stay underwater for a long time, and when the injuries of me, E, and my companions heal, we will leave." ”

Ji Jinnian raised his eyebrows when he heard the word "companion", and there was a strange feeling of depression in his heart, but intellectually he knew that she was right, it was really contradictory.

When Truuk heard this, he laughed and said, "It's Lonely's negligence, but he forgot about this." In this way, it is a bit difficult to be alone. ”

"Truuk is polite. ”

"Since the two distinguished guests have come to Lonely, they must eat and drink well and take care of their bodies during this time. ”

Baili Miaoyin smiled lightly.

At this time, an elder-like merman stood up below and said, "Your Majesty, the Dharma Protector has not appeared for a long time, and I ask you to send a witch doctor to visit." ”

Churuk's face stiffened for a moment, and then he said, "This is natural, tomorrow Gu will send a witch doctor to visit the emperor." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

And all of this is in the eyes of Ji Jinnian and Baili Miaoyin.

The ensuing feast was silent, and the whispers of the ministers could be heard below.

"What's wrong with the king today? The king has always favored the queen, although today is the day of the birth of the little young master, but it is also the day of the queen's death, how can the king put on a feast?"

"Yes, yes, even if it's a treat, you shouldn't be in such a hurry!"

"The king has become strange since the Dharma Protector was closed to the door before, and even some of his habits and style of doing things have changed. ”

"Eh, the king may have been stimulated too much, I still hope the king can come out quickly!"

After the banquet, Baili Miaoyin and Ji Jinnian returned to the previous side hall in silence. The two entered the house together.

"What do you think of tonight's feast?" Baili Miaoyin said in a deep voice.

"Weird, weird everywhere. The banquet was full of ministers and elders of the merman clan, but one-third of them had already been demonized, which was unusual in itself. ”

Baili Miaoyin nodded slightly, "And I think that Truuk is also very strange, did you hear what the ministers below said tonight?"

"Hmm. When the minister came out and asked the witch doctor to visit the protector, Truuk behaved strangely. ”

Baili Miaoyin pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "According to the information obtained at the banquet before, the Dharma Protector should be Truuk's younger brother, and after Truuk's younger brother closed the door because of something or an injury, Truuk began to become strange. So is it possible that this Truuk is a fake now?"

"Can you feel the demonic aura in the current Turuk?"

Baili Miaoyin shook his head, "No, I deliberately sensed it when I talked to him before, and there was no demonic energy on him." ”

"And if this Truuk is fake, who will it be?"

Baili Miaoyin suddenly raised his eyes, just bumped into Ji Jinnian's heavy black eyes, and the two said in unison: "Churuk's younger brother." ”

"If that's the case, then where did the real Turuk go, and why did the fake Turuk leave us behind?" Baili Miaoyin's brow frowned even more, seemingly solving part of the mystery, but it brought more confusion.

Suddenly, Baili Miaoyin felt a warmth on his forehead, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a slender hand like jade gently rubbing the broken hair on his forehead.

"Don't think about it, take it one step at a time, it's the fox that always shows its tail, we just wait. Although Ji Jinnian's face was still so detached and cold, his voice was full of tenderness that even the master had not noticed.

Baili Miaoyin turned her head and said calmly: "I know." ”

Ji Jinnian glanced at the tips of her ears that were red and almost dripping blood, and a smile flashed in her dark eyes, "Since we don't know what tricks that fake Truuk is doing now, let's not separate." ”

Baili Miaoyin suddenly turned his head and stared at him, and after a while, he snorted coldly, "I sleep in the bed, and you sleep softly." ”

"Good. ”

Baili Miaoyin didn't expect him to answer so crisply, his expression was slightly stunned, and then he turned his head and went directly into the back room.

Ji Jin laughed young, and the kimono was lying on the soft collapse outside to prepare for the night, but he heard the faint sound of footsteps, opened his eyes, and saw the little girl who had been embarrassed before coming out with a brocade quilt.

"Although cultivators won't get sick so easily, but now that you're an injured person, it's better to pay attention. After speaking, regardless of Ji Jinnian's reaction, he turned around and left directly.

Ji Jinnian lowered his eyes, looked at the brocade quilt on his body, and hooked the corners of his lips again. If the people of the Kong Ming Sect were here, they would probably be stunned, their senior brother, who had always been cold and unsmiling, laughed so much, and they were almost catching up with the number of laughs they had laughed in the previous ten years.

A dreamless night, Baili Miaoyin woke up in the morning and was still a little stunned, originally she thought that she would not be able to sleep, after all, the habits she had developed in modern times were not easy to do, and with the breath of a person, the instinct of the body would always be vigilant, but she didn't expect to really fall asleep last night.

There was a faint sound outside, and Baili Miaoyin put on his coat and walked outside.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?"

Baili Miaoyin shook her head, "I've always been punctual when I get up. ”

When Ji Jinnian heard this, his movements paused slightly, and he didn't say anything.

When she opened the door, there was a waiting maid who came in with washing tools, but the eyes that glanced at Ji Jinnian and Baili Miaoyin were indescribably weird.

Baili Miaoyin and Ji Jinnian have always been sensitive, so they naturally noticed it, but they didn't know what the reason for these strange sights was. I don't know it, so I don't want to.

The two sat opposite each other, after breakfast.

Baili Miaoyin said: "Have we really been standing still all this time?"

Ji Jinnian raised his eyes and glanced at her, "Then do you have any good suggestions?"

"I'm just a little worried about the kid from yesterday. ”

Ji Jinnian was slightly stunned, and then reassured: "Don't worry, since Churuk's younger brother pretended to be Churuk, instead of directly replacing him, it shows that he is still afraid, then he will not easily attack that child now." ”

Baili Miaoyin nodded lightly, "What you said makes sense, but it's messy if I care." ”

"If you're not at ease, we can actually go and see if we can test the reaction of that fake Truuk. ”

"Good. ”

The two of them walked to the temple gate together, but they both stopped at the door.

"Eh, I didn't expect those two guests to be a couple!"

"What a couple? I think it's more like brother and sister. ”

"Have you ever seen a brother and sister who are so old and still live in the same room, they must be Taoist couples. ”

"That little girl is only so young, and that man is seven or eight years older than her at first glance, how can he be a Taoist couple? It must be a brother and sister. ”

"Eh, you're not right, I think they're playing and cultivating, and the little girl who was raised by themselves is their own lady, how good. ”

The maids outside were still discussing enthusiastically, but the two at the door were embarrassed and didn't know whether to go out or go back.

Ji Jinnian's eyes moved downward, and sure enough, the two little ears of white jade began to drip blood again. The little girl seemed to be aware of her gaze, raised her head, and glared at herself viciously, but in fact it was more like a fried little milk cat, so cute.

Baili Miaoyin coughed twice, and the outside immediately quieted down, and then stepped out of the temple gate. Ji Jinnian was half a step behind and followed behind.

"I want to see Churuk. ”

"Ah, all right, please come with me. ”

Baili Miaoyin and Ji Jinnian followed silently.

"Two guests are waiting here for a while, and I'll go in first to report it. ”

Baili Miaoyin waved her hand and motioned for her to enter.

Ji Jinnian coughed twice, stepped forward, and said with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't think about what happened last night, if you mind, I ......."

Baili Miaoyin raised her little face as white as jade, and her expression was bleak, "What about you?"

Ji Jinnian paused a little embarrassed, he really didn't know what to do.

Baili Miaoyin snorted lightly, "Don't worry, it's just some gossip, leaving here, who else knows." I'm not an ordinary woman, and if I am told a few words, I will die or live. ”

Seeing Baili Miaoyin so free and easy, Ji Jinnian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

"Two distinguished guests, the king invites you in. ”

The two of them stepped into the temple together.

Truuk sat in the first place, looking at the two of them, with a kind smile on his face, "I don't know what happened to the two benefactors looking for Gu? ”

Baili Miaoyin said coldly: "Churuk is too worried, your hospitality is very thoughtful, and even the injuries on my companion's body are much faster. I came here today to ask you to allow us to visit the little young master. After all, it was the child I rescued with my own hands, and I always have to take a look at it to rest assured. ”

As soon as these words came out, I felt Truuk's face stiffen.

"It's natural, two benefactors, please come with me. ”

Ji Jinnian and Baili Miaoyin glanced at each other, got up and followed......
