Linlang didn't have Zhong Jiu's skills, so she had to go around the courtyard for half a circle. Fortunately, it didn't take much effort to find the gate of the courtyard. She was standing in the doorway, hesitating to enter, when she heard a fight inside. She listened carefully and listened carefully, and there was indeed Zhong Jiu's voice.

Linlang was still a little timid in her heart, and it was said that with Zhong Jiu's ability, she didn't need her help. But she can't escape temporarily, it seems that she is too cowardly.

She held the short knife in her hand, gritted her teeth and stomped her foot, and rushed in with an 'ah' sound. Inside, as Linlang expected, Zhong Jiu was swinging his long sword and slashing at one of the ghosts. The sword fell, and the ghost screamed, and instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated into the air. After a while, it dissipated.

The other few were not very strong, Zhong Jiu three or five, with a few screams, they were cleaned up.

Linlang looked at it blankly for a while, Zhong Jiu had already put away his sword, walked to her side, smiled and said, "Very good, it's faster than I expected." ”

Linlang didn't understand the meaning of his words, and asked, "What time is faster?" ”

"Naturally, it's the time you find here." Zhong Jiu looked at the courtyard with his hands behind his back, then turned to look at her and said, "On the side of this courtyard, there is a dim sum shop, I thought it was ......."

Before Zhong Jiu finished speaking, he stopped, looking like you understood what I meant.

Linlang glared at him and said angrily: "You think I'm looking for food again, don't you?" The heart of a villain, shameless. I knew you thought of me like this, so I might as well go to that dim sum shop and follow your wishes. ”

Zhong Jiu stretched out his hand and patted Linlang's shoulder, "Your performance today is not bad, you will have to be so conscious in the future, and I will be relieved." ”

He continued to walk around the yard with his hands behind his back. Linlang followed behind him, not knowing what he was doing.

After a while, Zhong Jiu raised his legs and entered a room. Linlang was about to follow in, but she was a step late. The door slammed shut in front of her, and she pushed it so hard that it was like a rock, and no matter how hard she tried, it didn't move.

She was a little panicked, and hurriedly knocked on the door and shouted, "Zhong Jiu, what's the matter?" You okay? ”

I could only hear Zhong Jiu in the house sneer, and said to Linlang outside: "You stand back, I'm fine, some ghost pawns." ”

Linlang obediently took a few steps back, holding the knife tightly in her hand, and staring at the room, lest some imp with long eyes rush out of it.

There was no sound inside, which made Linlang wonder. Supposedly there should have been a fight, but she couldn't hear anything. She hesitated to take a few steps forward, and listened and listened with her ears stilted, but still silently without a sound.

After nearly half of the incense burned, Zhong Jiu hadn't even come out of the room. Could it be that you have met a master, and it is difficult to deal with? She was wondering when she heard a bang, and the door shattered before her eyes, and two bodies flew out of it, and landed straight into the courtyard, unable to move.

Linlang was startled, and when she came back to her senses, Zhong Jiu had already walked out of the room calmly.

Linlang asked, "These are these two?" Why did it take you so long? I thought you couldn't beat them? ”

Zhong Jiu didn't pay attention to her question, but said softly, "Go and see, this is a familiar face." ”

"What? Do I know? Don't laugh, I don't know any ghosts. Linlang didn't believe it, but her body still walked over honestly.

Linlang walked over slowly, turning over one of the bodies. When she saw her face clearly, she exclaimed in surprise and almost fell to the ground.

She didn't expect it to be Liangqing, she reached out to flip through the other one, it must have been Liangji. As expected, it is indeed good luck.

Linlang was even more puzzled, raised her head and asked Zhong Jiu, "What the hell is going on?" Did they also escape from the underworld? ”

Zhong Jiu didn't speak, only nodded slightly, which was considered an answer.

Linlang got up, slowly walked to the steps in front of the door and sat down, and suddenly spoke again: "No, they once told me that because the underworld did not have their names and refused to accept them, they became lonely ghosts and ghosts in the world." How could this be, and it became an escape from the underworld? ”

Zhong Jiu chuckled lightly and said disdainfully, "Do you also believe the words of these evil ghosts?" ”

Linlang didn't understand even more: "Then they used to go to the inn, only saying that they were hungry and wanted to find something to eat, but they also deceived me?" ”

Zhong Jiu glanced at her, straightened the hem of his robe, sat down beside her and said, "Naturally, it's a lie, that's just the reason why they approached you and made it up." ”

"What is the purpose of their approach to me? Am I of any use to them? Linlang asked strangely.

Zhong Jiu's eyes looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he said, "Maybe, I haven't figured it out yet." Just now, they wouldn't say anything. When I go back and interrogate me properly, maybe there will be an answer. ”

Linlang only felt that the doubts in her heart seemed to be entangled into a mess, and she couldn't solve it. She said, "I want to be tried with you, can you agree?" ”

"Nope." Zhong Jiu refused without thinking about it.

"Why not? This is something that concerns me, and I have the right to hear it. Linlang's tone was tough, and if you agree, I won't give up.

Zhong Jiu was stunned for a moment, probably didn't expect Linlang to insist like this. He looked at Linlang and said faintly: "Interrogating these souls is a matter of the underworld, you are a mortal, it is not easy to interfere." After all, people and ghosts have different paths, and if I let the king of Hades know, I can't explain it. ”

Linlang sneered and said: "You don't perfunctory me with words like the different paths of people and ghosts, when you let me catch ghosts with you, why don't you say that people and ghosts have different paths." Linlang paused and continued: "What's more, I don't really want to interrogate you, I just want to hear their purpose." How can I intervene, and what else can I torture them? ”

Zhong Jiu got up, patted the dust on his body, and said coldly, "When I ask clearly, I will naturally tell you." As for the interrogation, I advise you not to mention it again. This is unreasonable, and I will never agree to it. ”

"You ......" Linlang didn't expect Zhong Jiu to be so unreasonable, he couldn't say a word for a while.

Zhong Jiu took out the peach box from his arms and took Liangqing and Liangji inside. He said to Linlang again: "Let's go, I'll send you home." ”

Linlang was sent home, she was angry, and refused to say a word to Zhong Jiu. Zhong Jiu didn't care, Linlang was a child, and if she was hung for a few days, she would be fine.

He left the inn and went to a small building outside the city. As soon as I left the city, I saw a woman standing at the gate of the city, dressed in red, which was also very eye-catching in such a dark night.

"What are you doing here?" Zhong Jiu was the first to ask.

"Naturally, I'm waiting for you here, Lord Zhong Jiu." Red Aya smiled and spoke softly.

Zhong Jiu looked at Hong Aya coldly and stopped saying a word, Hong Aya lifted a strand of long hair on her sideburns, and said with a smile: "My lord, don't look at me like this, we are old acquaintances after all." If you think about it, she always called me Sister Hongya at that time, and I should have called you brother-in-law. After saying that, Hong Aya laughed again, laughing with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Red Aya, what the hell are you trying to do?" Zhong Jiu asked coldly.

"Simple, I want her dead." Red Aya is still softly spoken, but when she hears it in her ears, it can make people fearful.

"Why should I suffer so much in the underworld, and yet she can live so comfortably. I didn't have a good time, and she didn't think about it, we were sisters at the beginning. Naturally, I want her to taste what the punishment of the underworld is like. Red Ayamori's cold voice echoed in the night, and Zhong Jiu couldn't help but tremble.

"Red Aya, it wasn't up to her to make a choice at that time, how could you blame her for everything?" Zhong Jiu said slowly.

"Yes, you can save her, otherwise she will only be worse than me. Zhong Jiu, I really don't understand, why did you save her? She committed a capital crime. Red Aya asked.

"Red Aya, what kind of choice to make is my own business, and it's not your turn to care."

Hong Aya laughed and said, "I don't bother to care about you, and you don't care about what I want to do." ”

"You think you can hurt her now?" Zhong Jiu smiled faintly, his eyes full of mockery.

"If you give her everything, I naturally can't hurt her, but Yejun can."

"You dare!" When Zhong Jiu heard Yejun's name, he was furious, and a long sword instantly appeared in his hand, swinging it towards Red Aya without hesitation.

Red Aya's face changed, her toes touched the ground, and she quickly stepped back. Hong Aya was not Zhong Jiu's opponent in the first place, and after a few moves, she lost her momentum. She didn't notice it for a while, and was slapped to the ground by Zhong Jiu's sword.

Red Aya lay on the ground, panting and powerless to fight back. But even so, Hong Aya still smiled smartly: "Zhong Jiu, Yejun is already here, you can't stop him." Even if you kill me today, she can't escape this catastrophe. ”

"Red Aya, I know Yejun won't let her go, but you can't do that. She calls you Sister Hongaya, because she really likes you as a sister. Zhong Jiu stared at the red silk on the ground, and said word by word.

Hong Aya sighed faintly and said, "Don't worry, if I want her to die, I won't join forces with Yejun." Besides, with the arrogant nature of the Night King, he doesn't need a helper like me. ”

After a while, Hong Aya raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are not surprised to hear me talk about Yejun, you already knew that Yejun came out, didn't you?" ”

Zhong Jiu put away the sword in his hand and said, "Why do you think I am here?" Even if you know it, how can I not know. ”

Hong Aya laughed miserably: "You really came to protect her, Yejun appeared before you, you are afraid." And you didn't dare to tell her the truth, so you had to use such a retarded story as ghost hunting to deceive her, am I right? ”

"Red Aya, don't think you know everything, so you can provoke me so unscrupulously. If I tried to kill you, do you think you can survive tomorrow? Zhong Jiu said coldly, "If I hadn't been for the sake of her once calling you sister, you would have been gone." ”

"Then I should thank her." Hong Aya's face suddenly changed again, and her eyes were red, "If you want to kill, you will kill, I am not afraid of anything." ”

Zhong Jiu didn't bother to argue with her anymore, waved his wide sleeves, and disappeared in front of Hong Aya's eyes in an instant. Hong Aya closed her eyes and slowly got up from the ground, not caring about the dirt on her body, only looking into the distance, and muttering: "The Night Monarch is indeed a thorn in your heart, but you can't protect her for the rest of your life." Sooner or later, she will know the truth, and see how you deal with yourself then? ”
