Seeing that Jiang Chen was silent, He Banxian took small steps to get closer, lowered his voice and said: "Miss Lin also said, please Jiang Shaoxia go home and have a good rest, and she will talk to Jiang Shaoxia in detail tomorrow." ”

Jiang Chen snorted coldly: "What, she thinks I'll be afraid of Jing Feng and Wu Lian?" ”

He Banxian smiled and said, "Of course not." It's just that there has just been a big battle upstairs, and the scene is messy, and Miss Lin is worried that she will neglect Jiang Shaoxia......"

"What if I insist on going up?" Jiang Chen raised his head slowly, with an undisguised killing intent on his face.

He Banxian shrunk his neck, bent his back, and said in a low voice: "Young Xia doesn't know, Captain Jing has already laid out a strict magic array, and it is possible to break it unless Xuangang is strong and attacks with all his strength." Even if the young man goes up, if he doesn't get the permission of Captain Jing, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the door......"

Jiang Chen said coldly: "This old thing is really the reincarnation of a turtle. ”

But he had to admit that Jing Feng, the old turtle's attainments in defensive spells, were indeed unique.

Moreover, Wu Lian has recovered, and he has joined forces with Jing Feng, so it is difficult to have a chance to kill Jing Feng from the front.

It seems that we can only look for another opportunity......

There are only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, Jing Feng, let's see! I hope you'd better keep your eyes open when you sleep!

He Banxian observed Jiang Chen's face and saw that the killing intent on his face gradually calmed down, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Lin also said that this time she thanked Shaoxia for her righteous action, and she owed Shaoxia a favor. One day, she will return it with interest. ”

"Please tell her, you don't have to be polite." Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly.

"When Miss Lin said 'even the benefit of the favor', Poor Dao always felt that her expression was a little strange, as if ......" He Banxian lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It seems to have a trace of resentment." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Chen glanced at the old boy. This guy is quite gossipy and imaginative, and he is worthy of being a frequent visitor to Anle Lane.

"There is another thing, please be careful." He Banxian's voice became deeper and lower, with a bit of weirdness in the mystery, "Poor Dao saw that the young man's face was dark, and the black qi on the Yin Hall was entangled, which was more obvious than in the morning, probably being targeted by an evil god. Has the young man recently acquired some new gadgets of unknown origin, such as statues, Buddhist plaques and other ritual objects......

Jiang Chen said casually: "It's some gadgets." ”

"Can the young man take it out and take a look at it through the poor road."

"Next time, I'll show you when I'm free."

Seeing Jiang Chen's disapproving appearance, He Banxian looked anxious, pulled Jiang Chen's sleeve and said, "Young man, don't be careless, you have been entangled in evil, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, you will suffer disaster!" ”

"Is it that serious?"

"Young man! You must believe in the poor way! It's too late! ”

Jiang Chen didn't take the words of this old god stick seriously, but he was impatient with him, and he was a little helpless, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, I'll show you, you let go of my sleeve." ”

He slowly took out the hidden pendant from his arms and handed it to He Banxian: "Just this thing, what can ......?"

His gaze suddenly froze, and the second half of his words stopped abruptly.

He found that the Jizo carved on the pendant was originally a solemn appearance of sitting upright, but at this moment, it had turned into a smiling face.

A weird smile!

"That's it...... That's it! He Banxian's voice trembled slightly, his hands trembled, and he took the pendant from Jiang Chen's palm.

"What's going on with this thing? I haven't laughed yet! Jiang Chen witnessed the change of the pendant, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart.

He Banxian cautiously used one charm after another to stick it on the pendant, and wrapped it layer by layer into zongzi, until he could no longer see the original shape, so he wiped a handful of sweat and let out a long breath.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous! Half a day later, when the sun sets, the evil god will come. ”

"So powerful?"

"I'll leave this thing to Lao Dao."

Jiang Chen watched He Banxian stuff the dumpling-like thing into his arms, and suddenly had some doubts, did this old god stick use some kind of trick to deceive this young man's baby?

Forget it, I'll believe him once. Anyway, it's a snatched thing, and I don't feel sorry if I lose it.

Moreover, Jiang Chen actually faintly felt that when the pendant was entangled in the rune paper, his mind was indeed light, as if a layer of dust had been wiped off.

He suddenly remembered Miss Gao who was taken away by the Peach Blossom Assassin, and he didn't bother to say anything to He Banxian, so he stuffed the white jade porcelain bottle into his hand and strode out.

………………

The next day.

Jiang Chen, who was meditating in the Black Sand Gang and refining his gods, received another invitation from Lin Shuixian.

Lin Shuixian, the famous "incense thief" in the past, seems to have completely regarded himself as Lin Xi's maidservant.

She took Jiang Chen to a delicate little attic, knocked lightly, and said respectfully, "Miss, Jiang Shaoxia has arrived." ”

Lin Xi's voice came from the attic: "Please Jiang Shaoxia come up, I want to talk to him alone." ”

Jiang Chen walked up the stairs, and when he turned the corner, he saw a veiled white-clothed maid approaching him, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately bowed his head and gave way, standing by the wall with a very respectful attitude.

Jiang Chen glanced at the maid casually, and a strange thought flashed in his heart: although this woman lowered her head and covered her face, she looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it before?

He didn't think much about it, walked to the door with exquisite carvings, and tapped his fingers lightly: "Miss Lin, I'm here." ”

"Please come in."

Jiang Chen's figure disappeared behind the closed door.

He didn't see that the white-clad and masked maid at the bottom of the stairs was staring at his back with wide eyes, as if she had seen something terrible, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

After a long time, the masked maid came to her senses, turned around and ran wildly, rushing all the way out of the attic, ignoring the slightest demeanor, as if there was a beast chasing after her.

It wasn't until she saw Lin Shuixian outside the attic that the masked maid stopped and gasped for breath.

Lin Shuixian gently patted the masked maid's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Why are you scared like this?" Did he recognize you? ”

The masked maid shook her head, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, gasped a few more times, and said in shock: "He shouldn't recognize me...... But the look in his eyes was exactly the same as in my nightmare...... I'm so scared...... As soon as I saw him, my heart was beating fast and my whole body was shaking......"

"Can you restrain it?"

"I don't know...... As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw what I saw that day......" said the masked maid in a trembling voice.

Lin Shuixian sighed: "You must overcome your fear, otherwise, you can't join the team." ”

"I, I'll try to ......"

"I know it's hard, but you have to do it." Lin Shuixian hugged the masked maid, her voice low and sharp, "Otherwise, once he discovers your identity, your nightmare will become a reality!" ”

Jiang Chen bypassed the screen and saw Lin Xi sitting crookedly on the fox skin chair, one hand supporting his chin, and a thoughtful expression on his face.

Jiang Chen didn't say anything for a while, thinking to himself, he deserved to be the first beauty in the world, no matter where he sit, he was as beautiful as a painting.

After a while, Lin Xi's eyelids raised and said, "You can probably guess what I'm thinking, right?" ”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Miss Lin must be in a dilemma in her heart, do you want me to join the team." ”

Lin Xi pointed to the chair beside him, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "The Netherworld Forest is in full danger, even if you gather the top masters of Western Liao City, you may not be able to reach the temple smoothly. If there is another split halfway, it will become more and more auspicious......"

"Jing Feng and Wu Lian are both first-class masters, compared to them, my strength alone is insignificant, and it doesn't matter whether I join the team or not, it will bring unexpected variables."

"yes, that's why I'm embarrassed......"

"I'm curious, why did Miss Lin have to pull me into the gang and put herself in a dilemma?"

In fact, when he received Lin Xi's invitation today, Jiang Chen was a little surprised. He originally thought that Lin Xi would choose Jing Feng's side, and he was ready to quietly follow the team alone and find an opportunity to assassinate.

Lin Xi crossed her knees with her fingers and smiled: "Because, you are also very important." ”

"Oh?"

"According to Gao Qingxue, you are the only one who has seen the temple guards, and you know more about the temple than anyone else. And I have a hunch that you're going to be the game-breaker for this operation. ”

"Hunch? You mean, the hexagram you calculated the day before yesterday? ”

Lin Xi's cheeks flushed slightly, he turned his face away from Jiang Chen's gaze, and there was a bit of anger in his tone: "It must be Narcissus who told you, right?" This dead girl who can't keep her mouth shut! ”

"Can you tell me what you see in that hexagram?" Jiang Chen leaned forward curiously.

"Can't!" Lin Xi flatly refused.

Immediately, she seemed to feel that her attitude was too cold and hard, and coughed lightly, soothing her tone: "Not yet." I'll tell you when the time is right. ”

Jiang Chen only felt that her reaction was too intense, and it was not easy to force it, so he changed the topic and said, "So what do you want to do when you come to me this time?" ”

"Now, I'd like to formally invite you to join the team." Lin Xi's tone completely returned to calm, "In addition, I would like to ask you about the specific situation in the temple. ”

Jiang Chen picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, and said, "Didn't Jing Feng say it again, can't Miss Lin believe him?" ”

Lin Xi stared at him faintly: "I want to hear you say it again." ”

"If it's up to me, that's another story......"

Jiang Chen gently rubbed the teacup with his palm, telling the story of the past in the temple.

Lin Xi's eyes stared at him for a moment, basically listening quietly from beginning to end, sometimes with a soft "um", or a sigh, expressing regret for the dead hunters.

After Jiang Chen said it again, Lin Xi began to ask about the details, especially the living sculpture group, the piper and the Xuangang puppet, as well as some aspects that Jiang Chen didn't focus too on, such as whether the dragon head sculpture in the temple would also be some kind of mechanism.

Only after her doubts were basically solved did she relax, leaned back slightly, leaned back on the comfortable fox skin cushion, and bent the corners of her mouth and said, "You are completely different from what Jing Feng said - in his mouth, you are a little minion who only shows a surprised expression and panics at every turn; And in your story, he becomes a shameless villain who abandons his companions and runs away. With such a big disagreement, you say, who should I believe? ”

When she stretched her limbs, her close-fitting clothes were tightened, Jiang Chen quickly looked away and said with a smile: "Miss Lin should have an answer in her heart." ”

Lin Xi nodded: "Judging from the performance of the two of you in the past period, I believe you more." ”

"Thank you for your trust."

"From tomorrow onwards, please take care of me."

"Don't worry! Wrap it up on me! ”

Jiang Chen agreed, but there was a murderous intent in his heart.

Of course, the target of this killing machine is not Lin Xi, but Jing Feng.

As long as I can blend into the team, there will be more opportunities to get close to Jing Feng, and once I seize the opportunity, I will definitely let Master Jing go uneasy!

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Imagining the picture of the sharp blade piercing Jing Feng's body, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lin Xi looked at him with a strange expression.

"Why is Jiang Shaoxia laughing?"

"Oh, this tea is delicious."

Lin Xi saw that his cup of tea was already half drunk, so he got up and filled it for him.

Lonely men and widows should not be alone for a long time. After chatting a few words, Jiang Chen got up and said goodbye.

He walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Miss Lin, did you find all those servants and maids beside you?" ”

"It was arranged by Narcissus, what's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"Do you still believe in Lin Shuixian?"

"Well, she has made an oath of demons in her heart to be loyal to me forever, and if she dares to betray, she will be devoured by ten thousand demons and die."

"Okay. The veiled girl in white, do you know where she came from? ”

Lin Xi narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "What's the matter, it's not enough for you to have Miss Gao and Miss Yun, you are also interested in my maid?" ”

She deliberately bit the word "also", so that Jiang Chen could easily hear her disdain and annoyance.

Thinking of the series of romantic affairs imposed on him by the Peach Blossom Assassin, Jiang Chen could only smile bitterly.

Before Lin Xi pulled down his face to drive people away, Jiang Chen consciously said goodbye.
