Chapter 6: The Man Who Fears Fire
The person who came in the fifth round could not be regarded as a guest.
A short, squirky-eyed old man, wearing a non-commissioned officer's hat that did not match, walked at the forefront of a team of inspections.
As soon as he saw Lu Ran, he trotted forward and grabbed Lu Ran's hands, the scene was really like a big mouse standing on two feet.
This old man, surnamed Chu, is as his name suggests, he is a local security inspector and a regular customer of He Lai Inn.
It is also a "plague" that locals avoid.
Before speaking, Chu Yi first burped: "Little ...... Little brother, it's too late! He stretched out his head and looked around: "Old ...... What about the hostess? What about the second shopkeeper? ”
This familiar look, what he knows is that Lu Ran and he have only met four or five times, and if he doesn't know, he still thinks that Lu Ran is his own nephew.
It took a lot of effort for Lu Ran to break free from Chu Yi's old rag-like dry hands, and said: "Master, you are so forgetful, I didn't tell you last time I came, didn't the proprietress and the second shopkeeper go to the mountains to stock up on goods!" It's been half a month. ”
Lu Ran helped Chu Yi sit down, beckoned the young man to take three more pots of good wine, and stuffed them into his hands: "Master, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
Chu Yi poured a sip of wine from the pot, glanced at the blood-stained ground, and began to order his subordinates to start working, and then said to Lu Ran: "Little brother, I'm here to wipe ...... Wipe your ass, Lao Tzu was gathering eight immortals to shit, and he didn't have time to wipe his ass, so he was sent here, no way, the fairy family's ass is much more important than my ass! ”
After this sip of wine, he actually spoke more neatly.
Lu Ran knew that this was the daily life of the drunkard Chu Yi, and it did not affect his handling of the case, so he asked, "Then...... How do you wipe this ass? ”
"We will carry away the demons and corpses, and the official family will pay for the damage, as for tonight's incident and these parties, Brother Lu, you know, just treat it as if nothing happened." Chu Yi took another sip and saw a pot of wine at the bottom: "Alas, I and these guys are busy." ”
"What is the origin of this immortal master surnamed Xu, how can he have such energy?" Lu Ran asked.
"Alas, I won't hide it from you, this immortal master...... I don't know the master, in fact, he is not a Taoist priest of the local Daguan, my Lao Chu is also unlucky, I thought that I would never encounter a murder case again in this life, but I didn't expect this immortal master to come, less than four days, there have been three cases! ”
"Three?" Lu Ran was shocked, as if he saw the immortal master's sword light appear in front of him again, one knife, two knives...... Three knives are three lives, and it is truly a beautiful and cruel knife.
"But it's not, here together, the relics are put together, and the eight immortals are gathered together." Chu Yi continued: "Today's case, and the past, after all, that thing appeared, but the first two cases were both ...... By the way, the old king who opened the butcher shop in the relict pond also knows him. ”
"This ......" Lu Ran was dumbfounded for a while.
"It's all like this, one knife and two cuts, the knife technique is really powerful, but the damn thing is chopping wood, it's fatal, it's really going to be my own life, the key is that this immortal master didn't come here casually to play in the mountains and rivers, and I don't know how many people will die."
The second pot of wine was also empty.
Lu Ran beckoned the guy to come three more pots, and asked, "Then no one can take care of it?" ”
"Tube?" Chu Yi smiled, "Can you manage the sky and let it stop being windy and rainy, the so-called first immortals come and then there are people, there is a grand view before there is this town, the immortal sect is protecting me from the eight countries in the south, killing a few untouchables, the right to ...... ...... right"
"It's enshrined, isn't it?" Lu Ran took what Chu Yi didn't have to say.
"Shhhh Little Brother...... You can't talk nonsense. Chu Yi waved his hand: "The immortal sect blesses me in the mountain country, we are all grateful, we can only say that the immortal master has the reason for the immortal master, and you can't talk about it, don't talk about it." ”
Lu Ran was confused, he had heard people mention the Immortal Sect all the way, but no one had been able to tell him so far.
I only vaguely know that on the heads of the common people, it is the official family, the king, the king's head, and the immortal sect.
Lu Ran didn't ask in detail, he and Qingwu came to settle here, falsely claiming to be from the country of Liuhe, and as one of the eight countries in Zhennan, Liuhe's citizens have no reason not to know about the Immortal Sect.
He remembered the "Yuan Ember Mountain" that Li Yan seemed to have mentioned, could it be this Immortal Sect?
Obviously not, although the people of "Yuan Ember Mountain" also despise human life, but Xu Fang and the white-faced "Char National Teacher" are obviously two people.
So, are there two immortal sects?
Chu Yi saw Lu Ran in a daze, and pushed him: "Brother Lu, do you want to ...... What do you think? Don't panic, there have been 'killer immortals' since ancient times, although I have lived for most of my life, and it is the first time I have seen him, but he is not a demon who eats people and gnaws bones,...... It's just that...... It's just that he came here to leave the town, which is by no means ordinary, alas, I just beg that nothing big happens, just out of control. ”
Chu Yi means that immortals are actually innocent in the mortal world when they kill people, and "killing immortals" is even more self-evident.
The original meaning of this title is likely to be "an immortal specially used to kill people".
The appearance of "murder immortals" generally indicates that there will be or have been major events here.
- An immortal who specializes in killing people.
With the full of doubts in Chu Yi's words, Lu Ran silently recited this sentence three times in his heart, and then three times silently.
The immortal monarch named Xu Fang killed people and killed demons, let's not talk about the people who killed, but the demon who killed was the "distinguished guest" that Qingwu said, so Xu Fang came more or less for the "floating map".
But what is the "floating map", the green black is as deep as the deep.
Lu Ran's mind flashed back to that picture, and with a flash of swords, the Fang Yongguan he knew was cut into two sections.
All of a sudden, the famous fire was lit on the spot.
Immortal, these two words are the words that Lu Ran has been avoiding and disgusting for the past two years.
But Lu Ran also understood that from the day he agreed to get on the boat in Lujia Village, no matter whether he admitted it or not, Lu Ran had already formed a relationship with the immortals.
Marry your uncle, if it weren't for that goddamn Xie Qiao to let me come back......
……
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ran clenched his fists out of the water, and finally gradually calmed down, and said in a trance: "Maybe...... It's just a starting point, a beginning. ”
The word "beginning" refers to both two years ago and the present.
didn't notice that Chu Yizheng was looking at him with an incredible expression.
After knowing each other for so long, Chu Yi has never seen this young man show such an expression.
No, Chu Yi had never seen such an expression on the face of an ordinary person.
It was a kind of determination to be burned by the fire, but vowed to eat the fire.
His face was full of enthusiasm, and there was fire in his eyes.
It's fleeting, but it seems to burn his eyes.
Chu Yi is a person who is afraid of fire, and he is terrified to see it. After taking a sip of wine, he was ready to take his leave.
Lu Ran returned to normal, smiling harmlessly and innocently: "Alas, I'm distracted, tonight is not peaceful...... I...... I'm still a little scared. ”
Chu Yi looked at him and changed his face so quickly, and he also smiled and said, "With Xu Fang, Xu Immortal Master and Daguan here, the demons can't enter this town, and Brother Lu doesn't need to worry about being afraid." ”
"Master, if there is any news of the immortal master or Daguan in the future, I will bother you to reveal some of it." Lu Ran laughed again: "On the boss's side, I will also help the master say a few nice words." ”
"Brother Lu is still alert, too, as soon as the murderous fairy comes, this is the mountain rain is coming, know more, at the critical moment, maybe...... It can save lives. Thinking of the proprietress, Chu Yi almost forgot that he was unhappy, swallowed his saliva, and drank all the wine in the pot in one gulp.
"Sir, come again?" Lu Ran asked.
"No, no, I've drunk enough today......" Chu Yi saw that his subordinates were almost done, got up and grabbed Lu Ran's hand again with the posture of a mouse holding his fist, and shook it vigorously: "That's it, I'm going back to hand over the errand, I'll come back when the boss lady comes back." ”
Lu Ran smiled: "Then I will bring you a dozen good 'jade red spring mud' back to drink, this is brewed by the proprietress herself." ”
"Hey, hey, hey, ......" Chu Yi turned around to leave, but whispered in Lu Ran's ear as if he suddenly remembered something: "What if...... If you find any other unusual characters, Brother Lu, be sure to tell me. ”
Unusual characters?
That's too much, this night, the good show has not completely stopped.
Lu Ran replied with a smile: "That's a certainty, that's a certainty." ”
Chu Yi looked upstairs, in the corridor of the Jiazi room on the second floor, a girl in red was looking at this side.
"Alas, I really drank too much, I thought this was your sister Lu Qing."
When Lu Ran looked over again, the red boy was gone.
"It's supposed to be just a traveler's child." Lu Ran explained.
"Gotcha, go!" Chu Yi really left this time, and he didn't forget to remind Lu Ran: "Little brother, don't forget what you promised me." ”
"I know, if there is anything abnormal, I will go to the house to notify immediately!"
"Not this one."
"Huh?"
"Don't forget to say a few kind words to me in front of the hostess!"
