Chapter 20: A Strange Passage

After coming down from Pei Liping's house, Ding Xiaolan muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect Mr. Pei to be more timid than Lao Wu."

"Yes, I don't think he's timid," Qi Lu said in a deep voice, "I think he's weird."

"You think it's strange that people are timid"

"Do you remember, last time I told him that the cause of Su Ling's death was suspicious, and his attitude was as indifferent as today"

"What do you want to explain?"

Qi Lu said: "Don't you think it's suspicious that you don't care about your wife's death, and you don't care about your own affairs, only an immortal who doesn't ask about the world will deal with it so indifferently."

"He won't be a cultivator who has gone mad," Ding Xiaolan didn't refute Qi Lu this time, and she also began to feel that Pei Liping was a little weird

Qi Lu didn't answer, because he didn't know the reason, at this time they had already wandered back to the building they rented, Qi Lu habitually looked up, through the gap in the outer wall of the floor ramp, he found that there was a black shadow at the stairs on the second floor, which was rapidly circling up, and in less than half a minute, he ran to the ninth floor and disappeared

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Is this person in a hurry to run back when something is left at home?"

Ding Xiaolan also saw this fast-running figure, and she frowned and said, "Maybe it's a thief."

"Thief, it looks like he stole a lot of valuable things," Qi Lu said with a grin

"If it's really a thief, it's bad, we also live on the ninth floor."

", why didn't you say it earlier," Qi Lu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ran upstairs

When Qi Lu ran to the ninth floor, he saw the door of the rented room ajar, and he was shocked, and he was thinking about how to capture the uninvited guests in the room, when he saw Ding Xiaolan running up panting

She was also very nervous when she saw that the door was opened, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to ask Qi Lu what to do, she saw Qi Lu signaling her with her hand not to speak, so she hid herself in the corner of the door and prepared to cooperate with Qi Lu to catch the thief together

Qi Lu took a deep breath and was about to rush into the room to catch the thief, but as soon as he stepped on his feet, he let it go again, because he smelled a smell of wine wafting out of the door

"What are you laughing at," Ding Xiaolan felt a little strange when he saw that he still had the heart to smile at such a critical juncture

"Old Wu is here"

"Nonsense, we haven't picked him up yet, how does he know that we live here," Ding Xiaolan didn't believe that Lao Wu was not an immortal who could be counted as a finger pinch

Qi Lu opened the door with a smile, and sure enough, he saw Lao Wu sitting on the sofa in the living room, sorting out the things in his travel bag

"Hey, it's really you, how did you find here," Ding Xiaolan's eyes widened

Lao Wu smiled and said, "Don't you know that I have telepathy with this kid?"

"Hmph, how did you get your house key," Ding Xiaolan grimaced at him, knowing that he wasn't telling the truth

Qi Lu smiled and answered Ding Xiaolan's question for Lao Wu: "Don't pursue it, there are not a few locks in the world that Lao Wu can't open."

"Tell me, what's the trouble again," Lao Wu took the few spirit runes that Qi Lu had forgotten on the table in his hand, and carefully examined the spells on them

Qi Lu sighed, sat beside him, and told him in detail about what had happened recently

"You mean to say that Ye Xuanzhi died at the hands of monsters," Lao Wu asked him after listening

"That's probably the case," Qi Lu's voice was a little hesitant, "Anyway, you help me find out the person who created the illusion first."

"Well, this matter cannot be delayed," Lao Wu suddenly laughed, pointed to the magic circle drawn by Qi Lu on the ground, and said, "You drew the wrong formation this time."

Qi Lu turned his head, his grinning face showed a hint of restraint, and then his cheeks turned red, he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Then you can just wipe it off and draw a new one for me."

"Confused," Lao Wu said loudly: "If the room is full of rune array enemies, let alone not showing up, it is better to wait for him to come before we have a chance to capture."

"yes, why didn't I expect that," Qi Lu slapped the table excitedly

Lao Wu asked him again: "What have you been busy with these days, and what clues are there about Ye Xuanzhi's case?"

Qi Lu's face turned even redder, and he couldn't answer, but Ding Xiaolan handed the notebook that he usually recorded to Lao Wu and said, "There are really no valuable clues, but I have written down the people and things I visit every day in this book, or you can see if you can find something useful."

Lao Wu nodded, took the notebook, and looked at it carefully

At this time, Ding Xiaolan's mobile phone rang, and after she finished talking, she said to Qi Lu: "It's time to eat, Mr. Pei is urging us to hurry up."

"Don't go" Qi Lu waved his hand impatiently and said: "Old Wu is here, I'd better talk about business first"

Lao Wu laughed and said: "You guys better go, I see that Ye Xuanzhi's case is complicated, and it is not as simple as you and I can get the answer to the mystery by exchanging a few words now."

Qi Lu thought to himself, so he asked Lao Wu: "Then how do you solve the problem of lunch, do you want me to bring food back?"

"No need, I'll sort out the clues of the case first, and then I'll go to drink with you rashly, in case a demon suddenly sneaks up, won't I suffer a big loss?"

Qi Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said in his heart, sure enough, the country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, and I was about to praise him a few words, and he showed his original form

Qi Lu then went to the banquet with Ding Xiaolan, fortunately, at the banquet, he just drank a little more wine, and there was nothing else to do, and when the two of them came back from the restaurant, they didn't come, and when they came downstairs, they saw someone on the side passing on a single mouth, a decent Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, which made people laugh

"Hey, look, isn't this Lao Wu," Ding Xiaolan was dumbfounded when she looked at the salesman who was talking about a new product with an aunt

"Yes," Qi Lu had already seen him, and said with a smile: "Let's take a detour, he must be investigating the case in his own way"

I thought that Lao Wu would come back soon, but after Qi Lu and Ding Xiaolan returned home, they waited until seven o'clock in the evening to see him yawn back

Qi Lu asked: "What are you busy with, come back this night?"

"It's not like I'm going to investigate Ye Xuanzhi's details," Lao Wu said as he threw the flyer in his hand into the trash

Ding Xiaolan put a pot of chicken soup on it and smiled at the two of them and said, "It's time to eat, Boss Wu is not full today, how can I do business tomorrow?"

"Ha, see me pretending to be a salesman," seeing that the table was already full of wine and food, Lao Wu unceremoniously unscrewed his stainless steel wine jug, and after taking a sip of wine, he stuffed the beef straight into his mouth

"Did you find any clues?" asked Ding Xiaolan after scooping him a bowl of chicken soup

"Alas, I knew that this was the result, so I might as well sleep at home," Lao Wu then said to Ding Xiaolan with a smile: "I said, Xiao Ding, your notebook is really good, I have been busy for most of the day today, and I don't remember the clues in your notebook."

Ding Xiaolan heard Lao Wu praising her, her heart blossomed, and she hurriedly grabbed a piece of chicken leg for him and said, "My record works, have you found a clue?"

"Of course," Lao Wu devoured his words, and just as he wanted to reply, he was busy when he saw Qi Lu toasting him, and he raised his glass in return, and threw Ding Xiaolan's question out of the clouds

Forget it, I'll wait until you finish eating, and then ask you, Ding Xiaolan was unpleasant, picked up the dishes in the bowl and chewed them lightly

After eating, Lao Wu was drunk and a little unsteady when he walked, so Ding Xiaolan had to make a temporary bed in the living room and help him to the bed with Qi Lu to rest

Looking back at Qi Lu, although he was more sober than Lao Wu, his tongue was spinning when he talked to him, and Ding Xiaolan asked him with concern: "Do you want me to boil some hot water for you to bathe?"

"No, everyone rests early, we'll be busy tomorrow," Qi Lu leaned against the wall and stumbled to the bed, stumbling to the bed, and stumbled and fell on the bed

Ding Xiaolan smiled bitterly, took off his shoes for him, covered him with a quilt, and went to rest after turning off the lights

I don't know how long it took, Qi Lu, who was sleeping, seemed to hear someone calling his name, so he opened his eyes with difficulty

The moonlight shining in through the window, Qi Lu saw a white shadow talking in front of the bed

"Qi Lu, please come with me"

Could it be the hallucination caused by drinking too much Qi Lu pinched his thighs vigorously, and a sore pain came into his mind clearly

It seemed that a ghost had come to tease him, Qi Lu suddenly stood up and shouted to him: "You evil ghost dare to come here late at night to tease me, do I know who I am, I am a soul master who specializes in cleaning you up" He burped as he spoke, only to find that his head was still very painful

"I'm not a ghost, you have to come with me," the phantom's voice was very harsh and sharp

Seeing that he despised himself so much, Qi Lu suddenly became angry, he gasped and said, "Who are you, why did you order my uncle, I don't think I slept well, so don't bother me here" After speaking, he leaned on the bed and began to pretend to be asleep

Qi Lu had long thought in his heart that it was a ghost who was doing it, but today he did drink too much, just now when he was talking to the phantom, he secretly tried to use a spell to drive it away, but found that his tongue was numb, and he couldn't recite the spell at all, so he had no choice but to come up with this bad strategy

"Looks like I'm going to give you back a little memory," the phantom vanished before his eyes, never to be seen again

"Hey, what kind of fame, is it just to say a few words of nonsense" Qi Lu felt that he was being ridiculed

The room was dark, and the crescent moon outside the window had been covered by black clouds at some point, just when Qi Lu thought that it was just a drunken hallucination, and was about to go to bed, the wall in front of the bed suddenly tore open a big hole, and then it turned into a pitch-black passage, in which there was a hymn-like singing, and it came faintly

"I am the primeval and the covenant with you, which lasts forever, is omnipresent, omniscient, omniscient, omniscient, omnipotent, and accomplished."

Qi Lu was so frightened by this strange vision that he broke out in a cold sweat, he suddenly realized that he was in big trouble, he quickly turned over, bit the index finger of his right hand, and quickly wrote the word "broken" in the palm of his left hand with the blood that flowed out, and then put his hands together and then suddenly parted and pushed forward

I saw a flash of golden light in front of him, the passage in front of him was like torn cardboard, split in two, and then continued to distort, gradually disappearing into nothingness

"Hmph, if you want to fight with me, you don't weigh how much strength you have," just when Qi Lu thought everything was fine, the wall moved again, and the passage reappeared in front of him again

Now Qi Lu couldn't be happy anymore, and his stiff smile was even more ugly than crying
