Chapter 49: Weird

Looking at the pile of information in front of him, Mo Jue had a headache.

The records are all very trivial information. The most outrageous thing is that whoever lost the needle is also recorded on it.

However, Shen He didn't mean to be impatient at all, and Mo Jue could only watch it patiently.

An afternoon passed, and the two of them finally finished reading the books, and Mo Jue was dizzy, and his mind was full of whose chicken was lost and whose dog was born again......

When the shopkeeper put the things away, Mo Jue couldn't bear it anymore, got up and said, "Shen He, I'll go back to rest first, and then call me if there's anything." ”

After that, no matter how Shen He reacted, Mo Jue walked straight back to the room, and fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

When Mo Jue woke up again, it was already midnight.

He was woken up by hunger, tortured by those trivial information, and actually forgot to eat.

Surrounded by hunger, Mo Jue clutched his stomach and walked downstairs to get something to eat in the back kitchen.

However, before he could reach the back kitchen, a chewing sound came to Mo Jue's ears.

Mo Jue took a light step and slowly walked into the back kitchen, and by the moonlight, Mo Jue vaguely saw a black shadow squatting in the corner, holding something he didn't know what it was, and was biting.

There was still a faint smell of blood in the air, and Mo Jue got closer and finally saw clearly: it was a live chicken, with a bloody hole in its neck that was constantly spilling out.

Because the pecking was caught, it didn't make a sound at all.

Looking at that person again, it was actually one of the shopkeepers I had seen in the inn today.

At this time, the shopkeeper also found Mo Jue, a pair of scarlet eyes staring at him, and a few pieces of chicken feathers hung from his bloody mouth.

"Whew!"

After a roar, the shopkeeper threw away the chicken in his hand and pounced straight towards Mo Jue.

Mo Jue subconsciously flashed to the left, and the shopkeeper slammed straight into the door.

"Bang. ”

A muffled sound came, and the shopkeeper's head broke and bled out, but he ignored it and continued to rush towards Mo Jue, as if he didn't feel pain.

Something is wrong!

This is the first thought in Mo Jue's heart, during the day, this shopkeeper is still like a normal person, but he is a little more silent.

Now it was like this, and the scarlet eyes were exactly the same as the sloppy man Mo Jue met at the city gate.

The thoughts in his heart were full of thoughts, but Mo Jue's body did not stop, and under the dodge again and again, the shopkeeper didn't even touch the corner of Mo Jue's clothes.

This shopkeeper looks very weird, but in fact, the speed is a little slower than that of a normal person, so Mo Jue is still very easy to deal with.

"Mo Jue, what's wrong?

At this time, Qin Dang, who was awakened by the muffled noise, ran down from upstairs, and saw Mo Jue fighting with the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper was still beaten by Mo Jue with a bright red head, so he couldn't help asking.

Mo Jue dodged and heard Qin Dang's words, and replied with a wry smile: "I said that he hit the door by himself, do you believe it?"

Qin Dang also realized that something was wrong at this time, Mo Jue just dodged and did not fight back, but the shopkeeper pounced towards Mo Jue again and again, and several roars like beasts came out of his mouth.

Qin Dang's heart was anxious, and he stepped forward to help Mo Jue.

However, someone was one step faster than Qin Dang, and he saw Shen He rushing in from outside the door at a very fast speed, and a hand knife slashed at the back of the shopkeeper's neck.

The shopkeeper's attention was all on Mo Jue, and when he was hit by Shen He's knife, he immediately fell to the ground softly, and before he passed out, his scarlet eyes were still staring at Mo Jue.

Shen He saw that the shopkeeper had fainted, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said apologetically to Mo Jue:

"The junior brother came late, so that the senior brother was frightened, the second little brother of this shop was bitten by a vicious dog today, and contracted a dog disease, and he didn't check it for a while, but he disturbed the senior brother......"

This Shen He spoke one by one, and he didn't see him stop at all.

Mo Jue didn't hear Shen He's words, lowered his head, and glanced at the chicken on the ground that had been torn to a bloody blur.

After a while, Mo Jue's eyes rolled, he spat fiercely, and said, "Phew, this deacon peak master, surnamed Ye is really not a good person, he actually sent my senior brother to this ghost place!"

When Qin Dang heard this, he echoed: "It's just that, it's not a good person." ”

Shen He was stunned: "Our peak master, isn't it surnamed Wei?"

The scene suddenly became embarrassing, and Mo Jue hurriedly snorted: "Is it? That should be my mistake, let's go, go back to sleep." ”

After that, he walked upstairs with Qin Dang, regardless of what Shen He did with the shopkeeper who fainted on the ground.

When the two of them returned to Mo Jue's room, their faces suddenly sank.

Mo Jue walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, his brows furrowed tightly, this Hongshou City was full of weirdness, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Mo Jue, it's so wrong here, why don't we go back..."

Qin Dang walked up to Mo Jue and said in a low voice, don't look at him just now, he looked very calm, in fact, he had already retreated.

Mo Jue shook his head slightly: "Not yet, if you go back, you will cause trouble for Shizun." In this case, you go back and rest first, and tomorrow I will go out and investigate. ”

As he spoke, Mo Jue seemed to remember something, and asked again, "By the way, what about Xu Xia?"

Qin Dang replied speechlessly: "I guess I slept very deeply and didn't wake up." ”

Hearing this, Mo Jue waved his hand: "Forget it, don't care about her." You go back to rest first, tomorrow you deal with Shen He, and I will go out to investigate. ”

Qin Dang nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.

After Qin Dang left, Mo Jue sighed, and then remembered that he hadn't eaten yet.

At this time, it was not good to go down any longer, and Mo Jue, who had an empty stomach, had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the bed and cultivate.

On the second day, while the inn was busy and Shen He's busy feet didn't touch the ground, Mo Jue quietly slipped out through the back door.

He figured it out, every time something happened, Shen He would always appear on the scene at the first time, which was no coincidence, so he had to take precautions.

"Get out of the way... Don't get in the way..."

As soon as Mo Jue came out of the back door, an old man carrying a swill slowly came from behind him, shouting sharply.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, old man, please ......"

Mo Jue hurriedly made way for the old man to pass, but the old man didn't have any intention of paying attention to him, and walked forward after Mo Jue.

The back door of the inn is just a small alley, and when you go out, you can go out to the market, where the people are full of people, and you can hear it from afar.

Seeing the old man walking out of the alley in silence, Mo Jue only thought that he had made the old man angry, and hurriedly chased after him to apologize.

It's just that when Mo is out of the alley, the market is full of people, and the old man with the swill has already gone away, so he has no choice but to give up.

Mo Jue followed the flow of people and walked into the distance.

The people around him were doing their own thing, and Mo Jue walked in it, no one looked at him, and even bumped into someone, and the person continued to walk forward in silence.

Mo Jue stopped and took a closer look, only to find that the people around him were all pale and emaciated.

What made Mo Jue creepy was that their expressions were basically the same, they were all extremely indifferent.

Even the vegetable vendor who was bargaining on the side kept this look on his face.

Thinking about it again, Mo Jue suddenly found that even the diners in the inn had the same expressions on their faces.

The crowd was surging, and Mo Jue quickly walked to a secluded place, hiding in the corner of the wall and carefully observing the pedestrians, and only returned to the inn at dusk.

Before he could sit down, Shen He stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, where have you gone?" I haven't seen you for a long time..."

Mo Jue frowned and said, "After a day of cultivation, I'm a little tired, go out to breathe, what's the matter?"

When Shen He heard this, he smiled and said, "How can there be anything, isn't it that I am afraid that my senior brother is unfamiliar with life and will get lost." ”

Shen He's words, Mo Jue didn't believe it at all, but he could only say perfunctorily: "It's okay, I haven't gone far, I can't get lost." ”

After that, Mo Jue stopped sitting and walked straight upstairs.

His mind was full of doubts now, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Shen He at all.

It's just that Mo Jue didn't notice that after he left, Shen He's originally smiling face suddenly sank, looking at the direction of Mo Jue's departure, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Back in the room, Qin Dang was already waiting for him in the room, and when he saw Mo Jue coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Mo Jue shook his head slightly: "Not yet, you drag him for a few more days." ”

When Qin Dang heard this, he said with a sad face: "Why will it take a few days, if you look at those ghost things again, I will go crazy!"

Mo Jue touched his nose a little embarrassed, even he didn't want to read those trivial information, let alone Qin Dang, who was hyperactive by nature.

Thinking of this, Mo Jue patted Qin Dang's shoulder and comforted:

"You just work hard, I'll go to the ancestral hall tomorrow to have a look, maybe there will be clues. Don't tell Xu Xia about this, we just suspect it, so Nizi can't hide it?"

Suddenly, Mo Jue seemed to have discovered something, and added, "What about Xu Xia? It seems that I haven't seen her for a long time." ”

Qin Dang glanced at Mo Jue in surprise and said with a smile: "Mo Jue, you care so much about others, don't you ......?"

Looking at Qin Dang's ridiculous smile, Mo never had to guess what this kid was thinking, and replied angrily: "Don't make trouble, get down to business." ”

"This is also a serious matter, Mo Jue, you are not too young..."

Halfway through Qin Dang's words, Mo Jue's face sank, and he saw him reach out and clench his fists, squinting his eyes slightly, as if looking for a place to start.

Seeing this, Qin Dang hurriedly changed his words: "She, she has been sleeping for a long time, it is strange to say, I have always felt sleepy recently, I will go back to rest first, you should also rest early." ”

After that, he ran out of the door in a puff of smoke, and didn't give Mo Jue a chance to do it at all.

Mo Jue's fist raised in mid-air froze in place, he didn't expect this kid to run so fast.

"Count your kid as fast as ......"

Mo Jue muttered and shook his head, returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, took out the Qingxin Jade from his arms and held it in his hand.

A stream of aura was induced, slowly merging into Mo Jue's body.
