Chapter 12: Private Talk
"Master, Master, there is another commission."
Before you see him, you hear his voice first.
I don't know why Mao Zheng, who was supposed to be monitoring Zhan Lu's every move, didn't do his job and ran errands again.
After a while, I saw Mao running into the yard out of breath.
Put the file on the table.
"This is what the head of the family asked me to take, the monster in the city harmed people."
Because Liu Chongjin has been looking for revenge for the demon who killed his wife, he made a special request to Spring Peak, and if there is a commission related to monsters, he must be sent to Autumn Peak.
The head also knew about his junior brother's wife, so according to Liu Chongjin's request, he handed over all the events related to demons and even suspected of being related to demons to Qiu Zhifeng to deal with.
For hundreds of years, Liu Chongjin has been looking for the monster that killed his lover, but 200 years ago, he suddenly couldn't find a trace of the monster.
I don't know if the other party has become weaker, so weak that the demonic qi is so weak that it is not easy for people to notice.
Or the monster has become stronger, so strong that it stands next to you, as long as it doesn't deliberately leak a flaw, you can't discern the realm from which it came.
He didn't want the latter, but he was more afraid of the latter.
In recent decades, his cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and he has frequently retreated, and the matter of searching for clues to monsters has to be handed over to the disciples under him.
Therefore, the commissions related to monsters generally do not flow to other peaks, and the disciples of Qiu Zhifeng, no matter who takes it, must summarize the dossier and wait for Liu Chongjin to go out and check it.
These files need to be consulted by him before they are sent to Manjushri Pavilion for archiving.
And Qiu Zhifeng is keen on the monster incident, not only Liu Chongjin, but his daughter Liu Qinuo also inherited this passion in order to avenge her mother.
It's just that I don't know why Qiandu, who has always been cold and doesn't care, is also keen on getting rid of demons.
If you are not active in eliminating demons, you will be the first to run out of demons.
When someone asked him why he was keen on exterminating demons, he would only reply lightly, "I don't know." ”
Qiandu picked up the entrusted file and checked it, and it only wrote that in recent months, there have been frequent disappearances of men in Yacheng, and the Spring Peak senior brother who went to investigate marked that he noticed the fluctuation of demonic energy, but he couldn't track it.
"Let's all go back and rest first, and we'll leave for Yacheng early tomorrow morning."
After Qiandui finished speaking, she looked at Zhan Lu, and then at her own yard, which was only a bedroom, a study, and a poor residence in the courtyard.
Then he suddenly woke up, and he was actually thinking about arranging Zhan Lu to rest in his yard.
He was stunned for a moment, and Liu Qinuo was afraid that Zhan Lu would take advantage of his senior brother, so he invited him kindly.
"Miss Zhanlu, if you don't dislike it, go and live with me, I don't like to study, I don't have a study, I can live in two rooms in my yard, I can let you live in the room, and I will sleep in the original study by myself."
Zhan Lu was also refreshed: "Okay, thank you very much." ”
Dai Peijiu didn't forget to interject: "Why are you so wronged, Miss Zhanlu, you can also go to Xia Zhifeng with me to live, my place is big, and there are a few bedrooms if you want." ”
Zhan Lu ruthlessly refused: "No, I live with my little junior sister, it's just right." ”
As they dispersed, Twilight looked at the departing backs of Zhan Lu and Liu Qinuo, and kept noting the light green figure until her eyes could no longer catch it.
Something seemed to be different, and he sensed that something inside him was slowly waking up.
Liu Qinuo is a cheerful person, and on the way back, she apologized to Zhan Lu:
"I'm sorry about the Pure Spring this afternoon, but don't blame me, it is the duty of every disciple of Autumn Peak to protect the forbidden land, not to mention that I am also the daughter of the elder of Autumn Peak."
This awkward apology.
Zhan Lu smiled: "It's okay, it didn't hurt me, I don't mind." ”
Besides, with her strength, Liu Qinuo couldn't hurt her at all.
"Actually, I feel that you are very good, but you are unknown, I am afraid that you will hurt my senior brother, since he met you yesterday, something is wrong."
Liu Qinuo is a straightforward and fast-talking character, what to say, never twists and turns, and she will not either.
"Don't worry, whoever I hurt, I won't hurt Twilight." Zhan Lu said a little seriously.
Liu Qinuo felt that what she said was casual, but she also heard a little seriousness, but she didn't see the sincerity and firmness in the other party's eyes.
This is a bit casual, mixed with a bit of serious words, and what is hidden behind it is how many points of determination and tenacity, Liu Qinuo doesn't know.
But for some reason, Liu Qinuo always had a feeling that Zhan Lu's words were very credible, and if she said no, she wouldn't.
"Why do you care so much about him? Is it because you love him? Zhan Lu asked with a somewhat casual sound.
Only she knew that she was a little nervous inside.
Twilight is so good, how normal it is for a woman to love him, and even if she knew, what would she do with those who adored him?
It's just a little sour.
But maybe it's not all sour, you can still have some pride, the person you like is so good, there are so many women in the world who like him.
And he has always been alone, sealing his heart and locking his feelings, such a person is worthy of his liking.
Liu Qinuo was straightforward and fast-spoken: "It's hard to have a woman who doesn't like a handsome immortal like a senior brother, right?" ”
Zhan Lu nodded in agreement, but at the same time a wave of alarm rose.
Liu Qinuo continued: "I used to secretly like my senior brother, but later I found out that he is such a god-like immortal, and I am beyond the reach of a mortal. ”
"I will yearn for that beautiful person, but I am very distressed, if he is pulled off the altar, he is no longer so cold, so uncannibalistic fireworks, will I still like it."
"Hey, I can't express it well, you know what I mean, right?"
Liu Qinuo was a little short of words, and racked his brains to think of a popular saying.
"It's the kind of god you think you think comes to respond to your feelings, and you find out that he is actually just like you, an ordinary man, and then the illusion is shattered."
"That's how it feels, so I found that my senior brother can only be my idol, and he will always maintain that sense of sacrosanctity and can't fall off the altar."
"My current feelings for my senior brother are the kind of housekeeper who breaks her heart, and she is bent on maintaining his divine image as a god."
"It's not love between men and women."
Zhan Lu understood, to put it bluntly, what Liu Qinuo liked was the perfect and divine senior brother in her mind, but she also knew sensibly that nothing in the world was unchanging.
There are so many people who like Twilight, and Ryu Qinuo is afraid that one day Twilight will have someone she likes, and in the face of the person she likes, Twilight will show a less sacred side.
That's when the image of the god in her mind collapsed.
To put it bluntly, she doesn't like everything that Chiwi becomes, but only likes the side she likes.
"He is not a holy god, he can be a mortal." Zhan Lu said lightly.
Liu Qinuo thought about the dog-legged ordinary man Qiandui who pleases her beloved girl, and suddenly felt that the picture was too beautiful, and she couldn't bear the stimulation.
Forcibly interrupted his thoughts, and decided not to discuss her mortal brother.
Changed the topic to Zhan Lu:
"But you give me the feeling that is quite similar to Senior Brother Qiandu, when I first saw you, no, even now, I feel like you are like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, sacred and inviolable, and beautiful and incomparable."
Zhan Lu hooked the corners of her mouth: "Then you can look away, I am a demon who got up from hell, I am not a fairy, don't give me the name of a fairy, I am a real mortal, not as noble as the fairies above the nine heavens." ”
She has seven emotions and six desires, her own selfishness, and her own love and hatred.
She can be nice to some people and bad to some.
Perhaps when the original Creator created her, he wanted to make her a holy and beautiful existence, but after going through the world and hell, she was also infected with the worldly world that cannot be washed away.
