The hall of Qianjialou is mostly quiet now, Li Si is lying on the table, covering his head with a quilt, silent, and I don't know if he has fallen asleep.

Xiao Cao lay on the crack of the door and pouted his buttocks, looking at the street outside, squinting his eyes and trying to distinguish if there was anything unusual.

Zuo Liangping was left at this door yesterday, so Xiao Cao also had a trace of expectation, thinking that she might be able to see something.

The lights outside were blind, but the clouds after the rain had dispersed, and the sky was still bright with the moon and stars, and with the light of the stars and moon, Xiao Cao could barely see the appearance on the street.

The road was silent, except for the occasional whining of the wind.

Xiao Cao looked at it for a while, it should be impatient, reached out and rubbed his waist, and asked Li Si who was lying on the side.

"Hey, brother, do you say there are really monsters in this world?"

The hall was silent for a while, until Li Si slowly exposed his head from under the quilt and said unlovely.

"Didn't I say, that Bacheng is a Jianghu person. ”

I must admit that with such a guy as Xiao Cao by his side, he really can't sleep.

"Why do you Jianghu people like to walk at night so much? Xiao Cao muttered a sentence through the crack in the door, and then continued to ask.

"Brother Si, have you seen any demons and monsters when you walked the rivers and lakes?"

"Nope. Too lazy to talk to this crazy girl, Li Si replied lightly, buried his head back in sleep and said.

"It's always been someone else's share of treating me like a demon. ”

This is not a joke, when Li Si first entered the rivers and lakes, his unpredictable light skills really made many people feel that they had seen a ghost.

After all, before him, the Jianghu people's understanding of light power only existed in being able to fly the eaves and walk on the wall, who had never seen someone like him who could ride the wind. In addition, he is a thief again, and when he sees such a silent and floating figure in the middle of the night, everyone will think that he has seen a ghost.

"And he is blowing nonsense. Maybe it was because he was too familiar and didn't have a sense of mystery, Xiao Cao didn't take Li Si's words seriously, but just continued to lie by the door and look at the street outside.

But at this moment, there was a sudden strange sound outside.

I could only hear it, click, click, click on the street.

The sound was like the sound of wood hitting the ground, and it was like a person in wooden shoes walking, and the sound became clearer and clearer from far to near.

Li Si opened his eyes, he was in a bad mood right now, because he knew what was making noise outside.

Xiao Cao froze in place, her mouth slightly open, her eyes were wide open, her pupils were constricted, and her lips lost their bloody color, obviously looking frightened.

Because she was in the crack of the door, she saw a figure on the street outside, a figure without a head.

It wore a long embroidered dress, the fuchsia satin made the dress look quite luxurious, and the clatter sound of the clogs on its feet should have come from this.

If it weren't for its head in its own hands, it would have looked like a rich lady.

Unfortunately, its pale skin and its tousled head in its hands indicated that it was not alone at all.

Xiao Cao was so frightened that he lost his voice, but at this time, the figure stopped in front of the door of Qianjialou, turned around, and looked at Xiao Cao in the door.

The strange old man came out tonight to try out his new doll, although due to some minor problems, the doll's head could not be fitted.

But the strange old man didn't care about these details, and directly made the puppet walk out into the street with his head raised.

In addition to trying his new puppets this time, he also wants to try his new puppet skills.

Unlike Li Si, the internal strength he cultivates can feel the surrounding environment through internal qi, so as long as his internal qi is located, every grass and tree nearby will be in his ears and eyes.

This is also the reason why others are not around, but they can manipulate the puppet to walk outside.

His new puppet technique is to directly use internal qi to manipulate the puppet, and the convenience of this method is that if it is successful, the puppet only needs a thread to manipulate.

At that time, it is not impossible to control hundreds of puppets at the same time with the help of dolls.

The trouble is that this requires extremely high internal qi cultivation and extremely precise control, and if he wants to control hundreds of puppets to act separately at the same time, then he needs to be able to use all kinds of things, which is undoubtedly a very difficult thing.

Fortunately, if you just control these puppet detachments in a unified manner, it is not so complicated. It's strange that the old man can't do it, but he still has no problem with multitasking.

Thinking that the days to come will soon be more lively, it is strange that the old man's mood is much better.

At this time, he had already manipulated the new puppet to the door of Qianjialou, and through the internal qi, he felt that someone was watching him in the door.

So he turned around with the puppet and waved his hand with a smile.

This seemed to him to be a sign of friendliness, but in Xiao Cao's eyes, it was simply something as terrifying as a conjuring.

Just kidding, in the middle of the night, I saw a person with a head holding a smile and beckoned to you, which person can afford to eat.

"Uh. ”

After a soft sound, Xiao Cao fainted by the door.

The next moment, Li Si held Xiao Cao's body and pushed open the door of Qianjialou with a black face.

······

Zuo Liangping rushed to Qianjialou early, because he heard that someone had seen the same monster as him.

When he walked into the hall, Xiao Cao was pale and surrounded by everyone. At this time, she was still holding her arms and shivering, Zhang Susu stood aside to comfort her, Xiaohe poured water for him, and Li Si and Banjuxian sat on the side, staring at each other.

"What's going on?" was the first thing Zuo Liangping said when he walked in.

"Xiao Cao also saw the monster you mentioned yesterday. Zhang Susu looked at Zuo Liangping with a worried expression and said.

Really······

Zuo Liangping took a deep breath, sat down in front of Xiao Cao, and said horizontally with the waist knife in his hand.

"Miss Cao, you take it a long time, and then tell me what that monster you see is like. ”

"I ······" Xiao Cao's face trembled bloodlessly, completely forgetting that she had mocked Zuo Liangping a day ago, and after a long while, she spoke slowly.

"It was very white-skinned, dressed in rich-looking clothes, with its head not on its body, but in its hands, with its hair disheveled, and its smile was eerie, and its face was cracked, not like a human face. ”

"Then was it a person when you met it?" Zuo Liangping frowned, because Xiao Cao's description was still a little different from what he remembered.

In his memory, the monster he met was still on the pier.

"Nope. Xiao Cao shook his head, looked at Li Si and said, "Brother Si was also there at that time, and after I fainted, it was he who fought with that monster." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Liangping's eyes immediately fell on Li Si.

Seeing that his back was cold, Li Si pulled his mouth and said helplessly.

"Yes, but we only exchanged a few hands, and the youkai ran away. ”

In fact, he just drove the strange old man's puppet back last night. I don't know what's going on with this guy lately, he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, he runs out vigorously and is scary, and the appearance of the puppet is more strange than the other.

That one last night, he ran out without even putting his head on.

Looking at Li Si deeply, Zuo Liangping spoke.

"Brother Li is not simple, I don't have much power to fight back when I meet that monster, you can actually drive it away, have you really only practiced some external skills?"

"Huh. Li Si hurriedly smiled and scratched his head.

"It's just luck, luck. ”

After concentrating on Li Si for a while, Zuo Liangping finally withdrew his gaze.

"In this way, we did get something unclean in Mingzhou City, everyone should be careful recently, I will go and find out about this matter. Miss Cao, you have a good rest, if you still recall any details, please be sure to tell me. I still have to go to the government to file a case, so I'll leave first, don't go. ”

With that, Zuo Liangping hurriedly ran out.

Now that it has been determined that something is causing chaos in Mingzhou City, it is impossible for him to sit idly by, and he must bring it to justice.

Seeing Zuo Liangping coming and going in a hurry, Li Si sat at the table and held his forehead with a headache.

It seems that this matter can't be easily turned into a small one, so try to make it a big thing small.
