"What's wrong?"

The shopkeeper said: "Just now Aunt Zhang from the welfare home hurriedly came over and said that the welfare home had lost two children!" The brother and sister are twelve years old, usually smart and clever in learning words and arithmetic very quickly, but they are a little naughty, and they always like to sneak out to the street to play. ”

"I didn't see them when Aunt Zhang had breakfast today, and when I asked other children, I found out that they slipped away again after returning from evening class yesterday. But even so, there has never been a situation of staying up all night before. ”

Gu Zhizhi asked, "Did you send someone to find it?" ”

"Found! As soon as I looked for it, I found that the problem was even bigger! Otherwise, Aunt Zhang would not dare to bother the two owners. The shopkeeper continued, "The older children and adults have gone looking for it. ”

"Some of the children used to be beggars and were well informed. When I asked, I learned that there were a lot of children lost in the capital last night, all of them were about ten years old, and the oldest was not more than fifteen, and I knew that there were about ten of them. ”

Gu Zhizhi's expression was solemn, "Boys and girls? It's not easy. ”

Luo Qichen was puzzled: "It seems to be done by a demon, but there are many immortal cultivators in the capital, and there was no change last night." ”

"Some people are more terrible than demons." Gu Zhizhi said meaningfully.

"Zhizhi, you suspect ......" Luo Qichen gave a look.

Gu Zhizhi nodded, "This matter has to be discussed with the third senior brother." ”

Speak of the devil.

Xiao Huaishu's voice immediately came from the door of Qingfeng Hall.

"I also want to discuss it with you."

"Senior brother." The two said in unison.

The three of them made a pot of tea in the backyard and sat down to talk.

"A few days ago, I strengthened the guards of the capital, and planted many masters of the rivers and lakes to hide in them. They were fought by the same group that had taken the children last night, and there were casualties on both sides. Xiao Huai wrote.

Luo Qichen asked: "How is it, have you found anything?" Are you sure it was Xiao Xiuxian's hand? ”

"It's pretty much certain." Xiao Huaishu said, "Although I couldn't stop them, I caught some clues, but they were not enough to convict him." ”

Gu Zhizhi: "Then where did they take the child?" ”

Xiao Huaishu: "North." ”

"The capital is facing the water and leaning against the mountains, and the feng shui is excellent. It's just that once you enter the mountains and forests, even if there are many people, it is not easy to find. That's right......"

Gu Zhizhi suddenly thought, "Xiao Xiuxian is probably trying to refine these children for the evil demons, and we can start with the demonic qi." ”

Xiao Huaishu pondered for a moment, "I do have a magic weapon that can detect demonic energy on a large scale, but this matter is dangerous, so don't go." ”

"How's that going to work! Isn't my dignified golden pill enough? Luo Qichen patted his chest and said, "Senior sister is a cockroach that can't be killed......"

"One more word and I'll kill you." Gu Zhizhi gritted his teeth and said.

Luo Qichen opened his mouth wide and silently said the word "mantis".

As a result, before his mouth was closed, the back of his head was slapped by Gu Zhizhi, and he almost didn't slam his face into the teacup in front of him.

"If we don't go, then pretending to be sick during this time will be in vain." Gu Zhizhi said, "Senior Brother was the unexpected card when the ghost was eliminated, and now it's our turn." ”

Luo Qichen also agreed, and looked at Xiao Huaishu firmly.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Huaishu no longer shirked, but thanked them seriously.

"A lot of troubles and dangers have arisen because of me, and this time is really ......"

"There is no need to say more polite words, and my little senior brother and I are not all for the third senior brother, but also for the people of Yu Country."

Luo Qichen just wanted to praise Gu Zhizhi for what he said, so he heard her say in the second half of the sentence, "What's more, it's for the sake of the third senior brother's power, Qingfeng Hall's bright and prosperous future!" By the way, the third senior brother will give us more convenience in the future. ”

Xiao Huaishu smiled, "Of course." ”

Luo Qichen: "Knowing, even if you have this idea, you have to rest assured, how can you say it." ”

Gu Zhizhi shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "You don't understand, I deliberately said this so that the third senior brother would not worry about this." ”

"Oh~" Luo Qichen suddenly realized, "I thought you were revealing something to the third senior brother, it was a little bad." ”

Seeing the two of them whispering in front of him, and all of them were heard by him, Xiao Huaishu couldn't help but feel funny.

Luo Qichen didn't know if he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, didn't he give him another hint.

.

There are so many children at stake, sooner rather than later.

Xiao Huaishu didn't linger any longer, and soon left Qingfeng Hall and headed for the mountains north of the capital.

Gu Zhizhi and Luo Qichen secretly followed.

They changed their faces again, and their soldiers searched the mountains in two ways.

In the middle of the barren mountains and mountains.

A young woman dressed in a pale blue coarse cloth coat and carrying a bamboo basket on her back is looking down for something.

The bamboo pole in his hand pushed through the grass, and there was a small white flower hidden inside.

The woman who found the herb immediately squatted down to pick it.

There are not even footprints in this area, I'm afraid it's not this way, I'll go somewhere else to see.

Gu Zhizhi threw the herb into the basket behind him and continued to look for it step by step.

At this time, Luo Qichen, who was a woodcutter, was also searching alone in the mountains.

Time passed little by little.

Sunset over the West Mountains.

Night is slowly falling.

Although it is dark, it is nothing to a person who cultivates immortals.

Gu Zhizhi was still carefully observing the surroundings.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and she found some clues.

Gu Zhizhi pinched a branch and leaf, and it broke.

She straightened up.

I saw that there were also leaves falling off at the same height, and the twigs were still fresh and tender green.

Something passed by, but there were no footprints on the ground.

In other words, someone deliberately covered up the traces.

It seems that this is the way!

Gu Zhizhi's eyes lit up.

It's just that I don't know where the other party is now, whether it's near or far.

If you rush to pass the message, you may expose yourself.

Gu Zhizhi remembered Luo Qichen's advice

- Once you find any situation, you must tell him or the third senior brother, and you must not act without permission!

Are you kidding?

She was so afraid of death.

All talents who take life as the most basic criterion will not rush into risks.

Even the ghost eliminated Xiao Huaishu in the dark in advance, how could he know that the other party was so fierce, and he wanted to refine the boy and girl and rush to do it.

Of course, it was to retreat the same way to move the rescuers.

Gu Zhizhi made up his mind.

One turns.

I didn't expect a dark shadow to suddenly appear in front of me!

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

She was sneakily investigating, and she immediately screamed in fright.

"Ah——!h

The shadow struck quickly, quickly covering her mouth.

"Shut up! I'll kill you again! ”

Gu Zhizhi nodded under him.

The black shadow slowly let go of her, "Who are you!" How could it be here! ”
