Chapter 62: Those who can work harder
When Ling Fox Zhenzhen returned to the inn, Qin Xi was waiting outside with his arms crossed, looking impatient.
Seeing her, he complained unceremoniously: "Little Senior Sister, it's too late to return." ”
Late?
Ling Fox Zhenzhen looked at the sky, he said that he would return in two hours, and now it is clearly not two hours, right?
Forget it, she is a little senior sister and doesn't care about him.
She threw the wooden box with the refreshments over and asked, "Is the spell solved?"
"It's been solved a long time ago, and everyone has been taken back to Xianmen by the senior sisters of Lingfeng Lake to take care of it. ”
Qin Xi took the wooden box, suddenly felt that something was wrong, leaned over and sniffed it carefully, then grabbed her sleeve, slowly brushed the petals stuck to it with her fingertips, and said in a deep voice: "Who did you meet?"
Ling Fox Zhenzhen rubbed her sleeves suspiciously, this dress was made by the master with great effort, each cluster of hydrangeas was embroidered vividly, at this time, there were countless pink and tender apricot petals pasted on the embroidery, spelling out the appearance of hydrangeas, at first glance it was impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
Who did it? Just kidding? Or is it a trick?
She dusted off the petals: "I have met many people, especially in the teahouse. ”
Qin Xi didn't speak for a long time.
It was his negligence, she shouldn't have been asked to go out alone, these petals were obviously a show off by a merry monk, if the other party wanted to kill her, she would have been dead.
He frowned at her gorgeous dress and hesitated, "Change to a plain dress?"
In addition to the feather coat, she only had three clothes made by the master and apprentice of Shengongjun, and the remaining two were all strongly colored, and it was difficult to keep a low profile.
Linghu Zhenzhen asked, "Do you think the red pigment or the anthochromic pigment?"
Did the master and apprentice of Shengongjun toss her to the demon queen? Qin Xi took a breath: "Forget it, you don't need to change it." ”
He silently digested the fact that she was eye-catching no matter what she was wearing, and that trouble always came to the door by herself, and stuffed the refreshments back: "I shouldn't have time to eat dinner today, so I'll keep it for myself." ”
Ling Hu Zhenzhen soon knew what he meant by "no time to eat", the monks who had visited the inn earlier had gathered in the guest room, Zhou Jing was burying his head in the drawing, and the others were talking in a cautious whisper.
Gu Cai saw that everyone was gathered, so he spoke: "We have asked about all the inns in Lingfeng Town, and we have combed through it just now, from February to the present, there are eight women missing here in Lingfeng Town, and all of them are outsiders. ”
"The most important thing is that the wives of the eight couples have eloped with others. "According to the innkeepers, most of their husbands are similar to the man who has fallen under the Heart-Eater Curse, and he has been crazy a few times before disappearing, so it seems that the person who started it must be an evil monk." ”
And he is a monk who specializes in abducting people's wives, he only attacks outsiders near Lingfeng Lake, presumably Lingfeng Lake is a nameless small door, he is not afraid at all, and second, he should have a nest here.
Gu Cai picked up Zhou Jing's painting and said, "Although Yuan Xi has solved the Heart Devouring Spell for the Spell Bearer, he still can't tell the appearance of the monk, which shows that the spell bearer is very skillful. Fortunately, he didn't let go of the elopement that day, and he still remembered the place where the curse was drawn, and Senior Sister Ye could see where it was?"
Ye Xiaowan nodded: "There are many islands on the lake, and it should be the largest lake outside Xianmen." There are mountains and low-lying terrain, there have always been few tourists, the lake has a wide reef, and there are most hidden caves under the water, which is just troublesome to find. ”
Gu Cai immediately looked at Linghu Zhenzhen: "Senior Sister Linghu, your dragon flying blade should be able to ......"
"No, I can't. Qin Xi interrupted directly, "Hit the grass and scare the snake." ”
As soon as the dragon group flying blade came out, the other party immediately knew that an immortal sect monk had noticed him, Gu Cai's idea was very stupid, and he himself found out, and laughed ashamedly.
Ye Xiaowan said: "I have a way, I don't know if you want to." ”
Zhou Jingqi said: "What method?"
"Since that evil monk likes to kidnap married women, it is better to lure him to come than to go to great lengths to find a nest. ”
After that, she only stared at Zhou Jing and smiled, laughing so much that he was inexplicable, so she heard her say again: "Let Linghu girl and Senior Brother Gu pretend to be newlyweds, and play around Lingfeng Lake these days, especially go boating on that lake and quarrel, with Linghu girl's appearance, you will definitely be able to lure the evil monk into the palace." ”
"No, I can't. Gu Cai, Zhou Jing, and Qin Xi rarely said no in unison.
Ye Xiaowan, who had expected this ending, smiled slightly: "If you are worried that Miss Linghu will not be able to cope with it, then you can only play a play by Senior Brother Conghua and Senior Brother Gu." ”
Damn, she's laying so much ground in front of her, just for this moment, right?!
Zhou Jing refused without thinking: "No." ”
Gu Cai and Qin Xi betrayed him, and said in unison: "Yes." ”
Qin Xi patted Zhou Jing's shoulder, very pleased: "Senior Brother Seven, your face can finally come in handy." ”
Silently eating a box of fresh fish dumplings on the side, Ling Fox Zhenzhen, who was stunned, couldn't help but speak: "But you haven't seen the appearance of an evil monk, how do you know it's him?"
Ye Xiaowan said: "It's not difficult to guess, he must be handsome and eloquent, otherwise how could he induce a married woman to elope with him desperately?"
Zhou Jing glared at her with a dark face: "You are a big ghost!
The idea is a good idea, but when it comes to his face, it makes him very special and extremely unhappy.
Ye Xiaowan held back a smile: "Senior Brother Cong Hua, the so-called capable people work hard." I'll come and dress you up early tomorrow to make sure there are no flaws. ”
*
The next day, Ye Xiaowan really came very early, and thought that Zhou Jing would have a dark face, but who knew that his expression was faint, and he didn't look like he resisted, so he silently put on the snow-white shirt and dress she brought, and only sat in front of the bronze mirror without saying a word.
She walked behind him slowly and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Cong Hua has pretended to be a banshee, I think you are quite open-minded in this regard, so I put forward such an idea, I don't mean anything else, don't think about it." ”
"Are you sure?" Zhou Jing glanced at her.
Ye Xiaowan's voice was lower: "I'm sure, Senior Brother Cong Hua is to punish evil and promote good, no matter how much I mess around, I won't use this to mess around." ”
Zhou Jing stopped talking, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "How long have you been in the Immortal Gate?"
Ye Xiaowan took a comb and gently combed his hair for him: "I have been in the house for less than three years, although Lingfeng Lake is a nameless small door, but I specialize in the maintenance of herbs and trees immortal medicine, I like it very much, not to mention that with my qualifications, it is already monstrous good luck to be able to enter here." ”
It's only been three years? Zhou Jing was a little surprised: "What did you do before?
Ye Xiaowan laughed: "Senior Brother Cong Hua is interrogating me? Or you can say it first, and I'll talk about it. ”
He suddenly frowned, and said lightly: "I don't have anything to talk about, forget it, don't talk about this." ”
Ye Xiaowan was so transparent, and immediately changed the topic with a calm demeanor: "I am actually from Qingzhou, and I almost became a servant." ”
Zhou Jing paused: "...... No wonder you're dancing well. ”
He still remembered that the night of the Juntan Palace was shocked, so that the sound of the fox Zhenzhen's flute was like a needle poking into his ears, so that he was particularly impressed by Ye Xiaowan, who could dance to the noise without any disorder.
She looked at him in the bronze mirror and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Actually, I sing well, and I'm especially good at playing the pipa, so I will have the opportunity to show Senior Brother Cong Hua in the future." ”
Zhou Jing smiled dumbly: "Since you are so versatile, why did you become a monk again?"
"Being a monk is freer, I like to be a monk, and my wish is to be a tyrant in the southeast. ”
He laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking: "Then I'm afraid you will have to practice for a hundred years without sleep." ”
Ye Xiaowan looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, he was finally uncomfortable, and frowned: "What?"
"I invited Senior Brother Cong Hua to come over and play, just to make you relax and have fun. Her voice was gentle, "Although something happened, I am happy that you can laugh so happily." ”
Zhou Jing suddenly turned his head back to look at her, but a few soft fingers gently pinched his chin, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Ying Ying's eyes, which were unusually close.
It was so close that she could even count her long eyelashes one by one, and even a very small red mole at the end of her eye could be seen clearly.
Suddenly her lips were cold, and her fingertips touched her rouge.
His whole body tensed suddenly, and the whole person shrank back, and she hurriedly followed: "It's still a little bit close, and it will be fine soon." ”
Her ears burned as if they were ripe, Zhou Jing's eyes drifted around, and finally fell back almost brutally, she was staring at him, and her talking eyes were filled with amazement that was not shallow and boring.
"It's beautiful. Ye Xiaowan praised from the bottom of her heart.
