The next day, early in the morning.

There are not many green leaves left in the branches in front of the window. The clouds were overcast as if the sky had not yet dawned.

People always sleep a little longer on rainy days.

The dimly lit detective agency makes it difficult to tell the time, and the biological clock is useless to a person with an irregular schedule.

In the haze, a sense of being watched emerged from the bottom of my heart.

The ability to intuition worked.

The figure lying on the table moved slightly and raised his head.

The closed eyes opened, and a pair of black eyes went from dissipating to condensing, and suddenly crashed into a wonderful world of black and red.

The black is deep, and the red is fiery red.

"Why...... No bed. Kong Nanqing bent over, staring at Lu Li's angular face closely.

The noses of the two almost touched, and a pungent smell of burning came to the face.

Her voice fell, and her head tilted forward slightly.

Lu Li sat up, just avoiding it. His dark eyes narrowed slightly and he descended to the bedroom across from the desk.

Yang Chunxue is not here, calculate the time, now she should go back to the ghost book to recharge.

"The bed is so comfortable." Lu Li replied, barely an explanation.

Kong Nanqing straightened up as Lu Li raised his head, stared at him with red pupils, and said hoarsely: "Are you hungry?" ”

"It's okay, I usually don't go hungry when I wake up." Lu Li leaned into the chair, his tone slightly lazy.

Kong Nanqing turned her head and didn't dare to look at him, her pupils flickered red, and her tone hesitated: "Then you want to eat first...... Or eat me first......"

Lu Li raised his eyes and quietly stared at Kong Nanqing for a few seconds.

"Eat."

He tried not to let himself think of the word "burnt on the outside" and tender on the inside.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Kong Nanqing nodded, turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Lu Li almost broke away from the blur after waking up, got up and rolled up his sleeves, and walked to the bathroom.

He paused slightly as he passed the dummy, then walked away.

Lu Li initially thought that if he brought the dummy back, it would take advantage of the night rest to clean up or prepare breakfast, after all, it was very active when he was in Xishan High School.

It turned out that he was overthinking.

The dummy has barely left the door since he came to the detective agency, and faithfully plays the role of a hanger - a hanger that throws away all the clothes that fall on him.

Lu Li walked into the bathroom, and the sound of washing came out after a while.

A few minutes later, Lu Li, who had finished washing, walked out and walked straight into the kitchen next door.

Minutes passed, and there was not a minute of movement inside.

The stove was bright, and Kong Nanqing stood in front of the stove, her charred body even deeper.

Kong Nanqing's pupils flickered with the firelight, and her aura became fluctuating.

The flames reminded her of something, like pain and resentment.

"I'll do it." Walking to the side, Lu Li took the apron from Kong Nanqing's hand and tied it, and poured oil into the skillful pot to beat the eggs.

Kong Nanqing stood aside and watched silently, those red eyes sometimes fell on Lu Li's slender fingers, and sometimes on Lu Li's resolute side face.

The man with the apron, this scene made her feel inexplicably warm.

Kong Nanqing subconsciously raised her scorched black arms and stretched out to Lu Li's waist, wanting to hug Lu Li from behind-

Whew, knock –

There was a knock on the door.

"You go and open the door, if it's Shen Yuqiao, let her go downstairs to buy breakfast, and if you eat, let her bring an extra one."

Lu Li, who stirred the eggs, said without raising his head.

"Hello Sister Nanqing, Sister Chunxue is not here...... Ah, okay, I'm going to buy it. ”

The faint sound of conversation came from the living room, followed by the sound of departing footsteps.

Set a bowl of churned eggs aside, turn off the heat and untie your apron. Lu Li looked up and saw Kong Nanqing by the door looking strangely: "Don't do it...... Is it so? ”

"There's a hands-free breakfast, so why make it yourself?"

Lu Li said calmly as a matter of course, and walked back to the living room and sat down.

Kong Nanqing, who didn't understand well, followed Lu Li and sat like a sofa.

She secretly glanced at Lu Li beside her, and her scorched palm probed into Lu Li's hand little by little.

Squeak –

The half-hidden door was suddenly pushed open, and Kong Nanqing quickly retracted his palm.

"Lu Lili, I brought breakfast."

Shen Yuqiao's eyes narrowed behind his round-framed glasses, and he raised the plastic bag and shook it.

In the silent eating, Shen Yuqiao held a cup of soy milk, put a straw in his mouth and said vaguely: "Lu Lili, what are we going to do today." ”

"Wait for your cousin's call."

[Draw a long straight line towards countless next stops-]

The mobile phone rang at this time, and Lu Li connected.

"The owner was found! The Taoist robe you are talking about is the local Taoist temple in Pingling, which is in the Qianqing Temple of Hutou Mountain. I remembered it last night, but it was too late to say ......."

"Hmm."

"Ah, it's cold...... People have worked so hard—"

"Is there anything else?"

“…… Boss, do you think I'm annoying, cough cough don't make trouble, the business is really not finished yet, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not......"

"Speak."

"This Taoist temple, there is something wrong with it......"

Lu Li paused: "Is it haunted?" ”

"That's not true, which ghost is so frantic and dares to dangle in front of Sanqing. It is...... I don't know how to describe it to the boss, I was here a while ago. ”

"Then tell me what you have seen."

"Okay, a while ago, I went to investigate the Taoist temple and went to Hutou Mountain. When I came to the foot of the mountain, I looked up, ah, what a beautiful view. Green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers. A faint breeze blows through the moss-covered stone slabs, brushes away the dust accumulated by the upper years, and shows the ravines blown down by the wind of the years, and the steps are naturally formed, leading to the distant sky. ”

"You don't need to describe it in such detail." Lu Li interrupted Shen Qian's tirade.

"Huh...... But I think it's necessary to be more detailed. ”

"I don't care about your mountaineering journey or mental description. If you have to describe it, start after entering the Taoist temple. ”

"Okay...... Okay, I thought my writing would make you smitten with mesmerization...... After the indescribable process of climbing, I finally stood in front of the Taoist temple. I complained right then......"

……

"It's hard to leave."

Shen Qian looked at the ancient Taoist temple built in the green shade in front of him, and gasped slightly.

"The Qianqing Guan Yongle period was built, and the Taoist priests at that time only wanted to find a place where the inaccessibility was unbearable, so they chose this Hutou Mountain. Those of us juniors have no choice but to suffer together. ”

The voice of explanation came from the side.

Shen Qian, who thought he was talking to himself, looked over and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest in a gray robe accompanying a slightly chubby tourist.

The slightly chubby tourist smiled bitterly, folded his hands respectfully, and performed a Buddhist salute: "Don't hide it, I've been walking bad luck recently, and I feel very distressed and want to come to Qianqingguan to ask for a sign and see the fortune ......."

……

"Do you know what I heard the Taoist priest say to the tourists? I remember this kind of thing clearly, and I will never forget it in my life. The Taoist priest said to the tourists who wanted to ask for a sign: 'You can ask for a sign, but it's better not to be superstitious.' If you really keep getting lucky, I recommend that you take a good look at yourself and your surroundings and try to improve yourself rather than asking for a signature. ’”

"Listen, is this human talk!"
