Chapter XXXVIII

"Are you alright?" Seeing that Qi Lu was safe and sound, Lao Wu, who came to rescue him, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, it's fine." Qi Lu hadn't recovered from what happened just now, and he was a little in a trance.

Lao Wu finally sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"I'm ......" Qi Lu just wanted to tell Lao Wu the content of the conversation with Jiuying, but suddenly stopped, because he saw the two brothers rushing down from mid-air.

Suddenly, Qi Lu's eyelids jumped sharply, as if he sensed some ominous omen. The two glanced at each other, thinking at the same time: Aren't they dealing with Manzhu, why did they get here so quickly?

"Fortunately, it's just a false alarm, Brother Lu is fine." He asked, "Who is the one who took you captive?" ”

"I ...... Didn't see it clearly. ”

"Really, you didn't recognize it when it was close in front of you?" Er's suspicious eyes swept towards Qi Lu's face.

Qi Lu came into contact with Er's eyes, and knew that he had doubts in his heart, so he improvised to make up a lie. "He was just a dark shadow, his face was covered with a layer of black gas, and it was so sudden that I couldn't make out his face."

"Manjoo, that old woman?" Lao Wu knew that Qi Lu was suspicious, so he hurriedly diverted the topic.

Er Ying replied lightly: "We drove me away, because I was worried about Lu Wu's safety, so I rushed over to help you." ”

What the! Manju is actually defeated by the two of you? It's unbelievable, if the second brother really has such ability, how can he be so embarrassed when he fought against her yesterday!

Qi Lu couldn't help sneering and said, "Congratulations, I didn't expect your brothers to be so brave and martial." ”

How could he not hear the sarcasm in his words, and immediately said: "This Netherworld Flower Immortal's original intention was to destroy the Heavenly Ladder and prevent the resurrection of the Heavenly Emperor, so when he saw that the conspiracy could not succeed, he left on his own. ”

It's as simple as that? Qi Lu didn't believe it at all, but he also knew that the brothers would not tell the truth to themselves.

He said: "Now that the enemy is ready to move, Brother Lu must not be careless, and if necessary, he must also dutifully protect the mirror." ”

"Of course, I will do my best to solve the mystery of the mysterious disappearance of the main gods of Kunlun, and prevent the enemy's conspiracy from succeeding."

"It's your business, but ......," he said again.

"Are you worried that I don't have the ability?"

"Not really." Eryi paused for a moment and said, "I'm worried that there will be more powerful characters to destroy the great cause of the Heavenly Emperor in the future, and at that time, you and I will both be in danger of life." ”

Qi Lu didn't know the danger of the situation, but his natural strong personality made him more stubborn the more he encountered hardships. He whispered, "Thank you for the reminder, I will do my best to stop the invasion of the enemy." ”

Wei, who had been listening to their conversation quietly, suddenly said: "Actually, Brother Lu only needs to do one thing, which can greatly increase our strength. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that you have gathered the key parts to open the Houyi Divine Bow, why don't Brother Lu take out the Divine Bow to deter the enemy?"

Yes! Even you are fighting the idea of the Houyi Divine Bow? Qi Lu was taken aback when he heard this, and vaguely sensed in his heart that there was a bad motive hidden in Wei's words, he pretended not to be shocked and said: "The power of the divine bow is extremely huge, and it is beyond our control, and if it is used rashly, if it causes any mistakes, I am afraid it is not a responsibility that you and I can bear." ”

"The current situation is critical, are you still ready to hide and be reluctant to use it?"

"Even if you and I are in favor of using the Divine Bow, Chang'e won't agree, right?"

Wei's face suddenly looked a little ugly, everyone present knew that when Chang'e ran to the moon, Hou Yi once raised a bow and shot three arrows at her, which led to the severance of the husband and wife between the two, how could Chang'e forgive Hou Yi and agree to others using her deceased husband's divine soldiers?

Seeing the scene, Er Cheng was a little embarrassed, so he said: "It's an eventful time now, Xianzun is a reasonable person, and he shouldn't be entangled in the love of his children, Brother Lu, you are too worried." ”

Qi Lu replied coldly: "I hope so." ”

"You don't have to worry, when I meet Immortal Venerable, I will show her great righteousness, and she will definitely agree to you use the divine bow to suppress evil spirits."

Qi Lu was afraid that he would be too entangled with him on this issue, so he casually said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, wait to see Chang'e, I should discuss this matter with her." ”

"Never!" Er's face suddenly changed.

Qi Lu couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly became alert.

The second negative also noticed his gaffe, and he hurriedly said: "Immortal Venerable was already seriously injured in the battle yesterday, and he has to retreat for a few days to recuperate. I advise Brother Lu not to disturb her for the next few days to recuperate, if there is anything, we can work together to solve it. ”

Although Er's words were reasonable, Qi Lu had already been suspicious, but he didn't expose it on the surface, but just responded lightly: "Well, if it wasn't for Brother Er's reminder, I almost forgot." In that case, let's go back to the mirror first, just in case another enemy comes to sneak attack. ”

"Good! Solving the case will be troublesome for the two. Knowing that he was suspicious of himself, he said no more and walked away with the danger.

Seeing that Qi Lu and the two returned to the Sifang Station, several fairies on duty immediately brought them delicious meals. After these fairies exited the room, Qi Lu immediately locked the door of the room, and while eating, he told Jiuying's words to Lao Wu in detail.

Lao Wu was suddenly surprised, the two of them analyzed for a long time, and they didn't know what the intention of Jiuying's move was, Qi Lu couldn't help frowning and said, "Jiuying told me that it was not the Heavenly Emperor himself who resurrected him. Is this telling the truth or is it a suspicion? ”

"Being able to resurrect monsters that have been dead for thousands of years, let alone you and me, even Chang'e and Manzhu don't have this ability, but apart from the Emperor of Heaven, who has such a great ability?" Old Wu sighed and said, "It's really strange, why do I feel more and more that the resurrection of the gods is a big conspiracy?" ”

Qi Lu was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any new clues?" ”

"Why, I'm just talking about it casually." Lao Wu put down his wine glass and said, "But we should also investigate the case, time waits for no one." ”

"But where do you start?" Qi Lu felt that this trick case was clueless.

"Let's start with those women first, maybe we can find some new clues."

"Well, that's what I thought......"

Before Qi Lu finished speaking, Lao Wu had already taken the case. "Who's sneaking around eavesdropping outside? Get out of here! ”

A golden light suddenly shot in through the crack in the door, and someone outside was giggling and laughing.

"Ouch, people are just here, why are you so fierce." After speaking, the closed door was opened by a mysterious force, and a petite figure floated in like a ghost.

As soon as Lao Wu saw the arrival, he suddenly sat back in his chair without temper. Qi Lu was startled, looked at the visitor and asked, "Beast, where have you been these days, why can't you see a human figure?" ”

The beast sat down next to him with a smile, poured himself a glass of wine, and only after drinking it did he say, "It's not because I miss you, so I came here to see it today." ”

"You haven't told me yet, what have you been doing these days?" Qi Lu knew that he had a lot of tricks, so he asked again.

The beast pretended to smile mysteriously, "I have a top-secret mission, but I can't tell you." ”

Qi Lu smiled bitterly and drank the sullen wine, he knew that the beast would not reveal the slightest hint of his mouth. But even if this guy told him about his experience in the past few days, Qi Lu knew that it was in vain, if he believed the words of the king of lies, it would really be the stupidest thing in the world.

So he turned around and asked, "A lot of things have happened in the fairy land in the past two days, do you know?" ”

"You know, God has already reported to me before you came."

"And what do you think about these things?"

"Alas, now the demons are rampant, and delusions are taking their place. In addition, Manzhu colluded with them with personal grudges, and the situation was a bit bad. ”

"Really? Since it is the demon who is in charge, why did His Majesty resurrect the monsters killed by Hou Yi? Qi Lu's eyes were shining, and he looked at the beast's reaction coldly.

"How can you secretly speculate about Your Majesty's holy will! Besides, not all the monsters in the world are murderous, so you should know this better than me, right? ”

Qi Lu exclaimed in his heart, and said secretly: I wanted to get something out of his mouth, but I didn't expect to be generalized!

The beast pursed his lips and said, "Seeing that you two are okay, I am relieved, and it is time to go about my own business." ”

"What, you're leaving, don't you have a few more drinks?"

"No, it's urgent, I don't want to make a mistake."

The beast turned into a brilliant light and left, Qi Lu couldn't help but be a little dazed, he didn't believe that the beast was just coming to visit him. But Lao Wu sneered beside him and said: "Pretending to be a ghost, he's busy with a fart!" ”

That's right! Qi Lu suddenly came to his senses, the beast was full of lies, the more he said that he had something, the more it proved that there was nothing to do! Qi Lu finished eating with a lot of heart, then rested for a while, and went out with Lao Wu to find those girls from the mortal world.

As soon as he came to the courtyard where the girls lived, Qi Lu saw that the gate was closed, and there was no god guarding the door, it seemed that they had received Chang'e's instructions and relaxed their care of the girls.

Lao Wu whispered: "I don't know if there is an enchantment, otherwise we won't be able to enter." ”

"Whatever, go up and knock on the door first." Qi Lu didn't care, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, but he didn't see anyone come out to open the door for a long time, and there was no sound inside.

Did they all go out and play? Just thinking about it, Qi Lu found that the gate opened automatically, he immediately became vigilant, the two glanced at each other, and walked into the courtyard one after the other.

The courtyard was quiet, I didn't see half a figure, and the doors and windows of the wings on both sides were also closed, which seemed a little bleak, as if these women were really going out to play together.

"Anyone, anyone?" Qi Lu didn't even get a response to his shouts a few times, and couldn't help frowning and said to Lao Wu: "It seems that they are really not here, let's come back another day." ”

"What's the hurry, let's take a look first." After speaking, Lao Wu walked to a side room, tried to push the door with his hand, and found that it was locked, so he leaned in front of the window, gently pierced the layer of window paper pasted on it with his hand, and peeked inside.

"Hey, how can you be so rude!" Qi Lu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lao Wu's rude behavior.
