Chapter 2: The Mysterious Woman in Red
When Mao Zheng and his Gao Leng Master and his Aunt with the fart worm arrived at the Fengqi Inn, they saw that there was already another wave of people sitting in the hall.
A handsome boy sat on one side of the table, holding a simple and atmospheric dark green folding fan, on which several white cranes in different flight states were painted.
It complements his dark green kaftan.
At this time, the man shook the folding fan, but it really showed a bit of fairy spirit, and there was a trace of the artistic conception of a master.
Mao Zheng shuddered and complained in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Uncle Dai Peijiu, who is in a hurry on weekdays, can also have such a human-like time." ”
Sitting at the same table with Dai Peijiu is a younger son, who is somewhat similar to Dai Peijiu, and his appearance is one top and one is good, and there is nothing to be faulted with.
It's just that there is less arrogance than Dai Peijiu, although there is no commotion, but there is a unique and unruly atmosphere than Dai Peijiu.
That person is Mao Zheng's friend, Dai Peijiu's younger brother, and the son of Xia Zhifeng's elder, Dai Peilan.
The reason why the two can become friends is because they are both errand boys, the only difference is that Mao is forced to run errands, and Dai Peilan is lazy and likes to run out to play under the pretext of running errands.
At this meeting, the two immediately got up, and Mao Zheng was happy, "Dai Peilan, why are you here too?" ”
Dai Peilan put down the teacup and stood up, Geno came over and hugged Mao Zheng's shoulders, and the two brothers walked to the chairs in the same row on the side, "I didn't hear that this is the Teaching Bureau, my father asked my brother to take me to join in the fun." ”
Mao Zheng couldn't believe it, he came to the mission with a serious attitude, this kid actually wanted to play, "Join in the fun?" The Teaching Bureau can join in the fun? ”
Dai Peilan's heart was weak, how could he say his psychological words when he was happy, he hurriedly corrected it, "No, no, I said it wrong, it was for me to also come to experience and learn." ”
Then his face became more serious, and he repeated firmly: "Experience, study." ”
Mao Zheng rolled his eyes, this little master has not experienced wind and rain, and he has been taught less by life, and he can only play.
Due to a ghost fire incident, the inn's business was deserted and there was not a single guest.
Now a few people have said hello, and after sitting down, they listened to the shopkeeper named Wang Xiaowu describe the incident of the woman in red he saw on the night of July and the half.
Wang Xiaowu: "So a few immortal monarchs, I suspect that this fire for no reason was caused by the female ghost in red." ”
He still has lingering palpitations.
"It's a good thing that the female ghost isn't a harm, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stand here and tell you what happened that night."
"The woman in red was gone in the blink of an eye, and the backyard started to catch fire in the middle of the night, and we couldn't put it out no matter how much water we splashed."
Mao Zheng couldn't wait to ask a question, he was specially brought to practice, but he had to behave well, "Is the fire only burning in the backyard?" How wide is the area, and do you have any casualties? ”
Wang Xiaowu's chatterbox opened, and he didn't care that it was a half-grown child who asked, and replied patiently, "Yes, the fire is covering the entire backyard, our backyard is not small, a few people will go to the back to see later, and our backyard is connected to a few ordinary houses, and the people in those houses have been panicking recently." ”
"But so far, there have really been no casualties, it's just panic, do you know the feeling of panic? It's just chills. Speaking of this, he felt a layer of goosebumps all over his body, rubbed his shoulders, and rubbed away this bad feeling, "Hey, in short, I'm scared, and I'm scared when I get up at night." ”
"The most important thing is to affect business, in the past half a month, the inn has no business, and they all feel that this place is haunted and unlucky."
If this continues, they will drink the northwest wind.
After the description of the shopkeeper, several people have a general understanding of the situation, that is, except for fire, there is nothing else, and there is no strange sound.
It was still early, and a few people went to look at the area in the backyard, where the flowers and objects were intact, and they didn't think anything substantial had been burned.
Dai Peijiu closed the folding fan and knocked on his little brother's head, "Boy, come, tell me your opinion, when the brother tests you." ”
"This backyard is really big, you can build a house alone, and you can bring a big yard, this backyard is really not necessary, look, something will happen now."
Brother Pei Lan said truthfully, honestly making his brother feel that although he hated iron and steel, he should not beat an honest child.
Dai Peijiu covered her forehead speechlessly, and decided to leave the responsibility of educating her younger brother to her great father, and she was still suitable to be happy.
Turning to Qiandu, he said, "Senior Brother Qiandu, you also came to take the test to see what he saw?" ”
He decided to find a reference for his brother to motivate him to improve.
Twilight hadn't planned to look closer, so now he stood next to the carved mahogany pillars under the eaves that connected to the backyard, and looked at the scenery in the courtyard with a faint gaze.
Hearing Dai Peijiu's words, he moved his gaze to Mao Zheng.
Although he didn't speak, Mao was a good boy who was conscious, and immediately understood the meaning of the master, which means, you can talk about it.
"Master, I think that the fire is a ghost fire nine times out of ten, otherwise this courtyard can't be so intact, and I can't see anything abnormal in the rest, everything looks normal during the day, and there are no strange spiritual power fluctuations, I think it's better to wait for the fire to come and see it at night."
Before Qianwei could say anything, Dai Peijiu kicked his younger brother's calf first, "You learn from other people's families, other people's children." ”
At this time, Liu Qinuo, who had been looking around in the courtyard, also nodded, and said to Qiandui: "Senior Brother Qiandu, I think what Mao Zheng said is right, there are indeed no strange spiritual power fluctuations, and I can't see the reason for it now, so it's better to wait until midnight to come again." ”
Standing under the eaves, Twilight reminded Mao Zheng, "Don't act alone at night, remember, you can't underestimate the enemy." ”
Mao Zheng obediently replied: "I know, Master." ”
At night, Mao Zheng and Dai Peilan were under the same window, and the two of them were on one side, looking at the backyard through the window, and muttered every other moment, "Why can't it catch fire?" ”
In the center of the hall, Dai Peijiu leaned back in his chair, almost merging with the chair, he really didn't want to guard his unlucky brother here, and he was not happy to teach in the Teaching Bureau.
He glanced at the younger brother by the window again, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if this was not his own, he really couldn't have come to suffer this suffering.
"By the way, Mao Zheng, where is your master?" Dai Peijiu found out that after dinner, his cold Cangchen Mountain Sect's celebrity disciple, Qiandui, never appeared.
Mao Zheng yawned to drive away the sleepiness, "I don't know, it should be in the room, I was originally free-range, this is normal." ”
"Since I was 7 years old when I was picked up by my master and sent back to Cangchen Mountain, he didn't care about me except for teaching me to practice spells, I was taught by my masters and uncles to do things."
"Uncle Pei Jiu, you don't have to feel lonely, our two juniors can't relieve your boredom, but my senior aunt will come in a while, and she will chat with you."
Mao Zheng said that he understands very well, Dai Peijiu and their elders don't like to play with juniors, and they juniors actually don't like to play with these elders.
Dai Peijiu was allergic as soon as she heard his aunt's name, "Your aunt, forget it, she and I don't have anything in common, and I can only quarrel at most." ”
"Stay with her, I might as well stay with your master's ice cube that only emits cold air, at least it's cool."
He's a little junior sister, but the daughter of Qiu Zhifeng Elder Liu Chongjin, a little willful, a little rude, but he can't be provoked, his temperament is too spicy, this is the women's style he can't admire the most.
What's more, this little junior sister is still the hench of the fairy monarch who has no temperature in Qiandu, and he even remembers that once he laughed with a fairy.
The fairy also likes Twilight, and it's the kind of brainless blow that makes her drunk and die with every move of the ice cube.
He couldn't help but complain, "Senior Brother Qiandui is better than me, and he is a few streets away from me, and he is also more immortal than me, but he doesn't have the temperature as me." ”
"His whole person exudes cold air, and he doesn't come into contact with people, and others can't even touch him, which is a proper coldness."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind broke through the air and hit the back of his head, and if he hadn't flashed fast, his head would have almost blossomed.
That's the masterpiece of that little junior sister, a girl's family, who doesn't practice some gentle spells, but likes to play with whips, he really can't appreciate it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he could only quarrel, and as soon as the back of his head was cold, the main lord came.
"If you want to quarrel, Aunt Ben still doesn't want to quarrel with you, even a prodigal like you is not worthy of talking to Aunt Ben."
Dai Peijiu was speechless, he felt that he might have to calculate a hexagram for himself, could he not say anything bad about people behind his back in this life, and every time he finished speaking, he could be caught by the main owner.
Dai Peijiu dodged to the side, far away, "Okay, okay, I admit defeat, auntie, put away your whip, this place is small, it's not enough for you to thunder." ”
"For a while, your movement is too big, affecting our observation of the situation outside, not to mention, this is the first experience of your only disciple of Senior Brother Qiandu, and you can also have a snack."
