Gong Huaiming took out the set of paper talismans he had obtained from his predecessors, a pen holder, a paperweight, a round box containing cinnabar, and a disc like a blooming lotus flower. This set of guys is much more exquisite than the one Gong Huaiming originally bought in Fang City, especially the disc, which is even more exquisite, like a rare work of art, when Gong Huaiming saw it for the first time, he deeply liked this palm-sized disc.

Gong Huaiming first poured the blended demon beast blood into the dish, and was just about to pour cinnabar into it, and when he was about to make it, there was a knock on the door.

Since Gong Huaiming stayed in this small courtyard, except for Sun Pei's original visit not long ago, no other guests have come. Gong Huaiming couldn't help but be a little curious, at this time, who would visit him. He put down his belongings, walked over, opened the door, and saw that it was Xu Zhongda standing outside the door.

"Huaiming, long time no see. Xu Zhongda smiled and arched his hand towards Gong Huaiming.

The two hadn't seen each other for a month or two, and Gong Huaiming suddenly saw Xu Zhongda, and there was a lot of joy in his heart, "Mr. Xu, please come in quickly." ”

Xu Zhongda entered the small courtyard, Gong Huaiming invited him to sit in the house, and the two of them recounted the situation after parting, during which they couldn't help but recall the more than a year when Gong Huaiming stayed on the Ocean Ship. Among the people in Xu's business, Gong Huaiming has the best impression of Xu Zhongda, not only because the two of them once fought against pirates together during the voyage, but also because Xu Zhongda paid sincerely, unlike Xu Gengyang and Xu Boda, more out of interest considerations. For them, Gong Huaiming didn't have any concern, and between them, it was just an exchange of interests, and each took what he needed.

The two said that it was more than an hour, it was getting late, Gong Huaiming wanted to invite Xu Zhongda to dinner, but the latter politely declined, saying that he wanted to see Xu Lingxuan, and then Xu Zhongda offered to leave.

Gong Huaiming sent Xu Zhongda outside the courtyard gate, "Mr. Xu, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, although you and I talk and laugh happily, but I see that there is a little sorrow hidden between your eyebrows." Did you encounter any difficulties? If you need my Gong Huaiming's help, just say. We are not outsiders among us. ”

"It's okay, it's really okay. Xu Zhongda shook his head, "Huaiming, don't be suspicious, with your friendship with me, if something happens, can I not tell you?"

"Are you really okay?" Gong Huaiming asked again.

"At a young age, so suspicious?" Xu Zhongda smiled and patted Gong Huaiming's shoulder, "Huaiming, can I still lie to you?" Okay, I should go, and when I have time later, I will come to see you." ”

Seeing Xu Zhongda riding away on a horned horse, Gong Huaiming frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with any clue. He shook his head, returned to the courtyard, locked the courtyard door, and prepared to continue drawing the paper symbols. He sat down on the stone drum bench under the vines again, picked up the box containing cinnabar, and was about to pour cinnabar on the lotus disc when he suddenly sighed.

Gong Huaiming clearly remembered that he had poured most of the demon beast blood just now, but now the demon beast blood was only shallow, and the rest of the demon beast blood didn't know where it had gone. If you look closely, on the stone table and on the ground, there are no traces of the blood of the demon beast pouring out, and there is no sign of small animals such as birds and insects leaving to steal the blood of the demon beast.

Intuition told Gong Huaiming that there must be something wrong here. He stood up, "Who? I see you, come out for me." ”

Gong Huaiming bluffed and shouted a few times, but not to mention startling people out, not even a small flying insect scared away. He searched the courtyard several times inside and out, but he didn't find anything.

Gong Huaiming carefully recalled the situation just now, and after a while, he thought about it, and filled the lotus disc with the blood of the demon beast again, and then opened the latch of the anti-locked courtyard door, and the courtyard door was closed, and then he returned to the room as if nothing happened, lay on the bed, and pulled over a quilt.

All this was Gong Huaiming's disguise, and he suspected that someone or small animal had stolen the blood of the demon beast. Demon beast blood is a good thing, one or two good demon beast blood will cost ten contribution points, and it is not impossible for someone to attack it. It's just that Gong Huaiming still can't understand that the porcelain bottle containing the blood of the demon beast is next to it, why does the other party only steal the blood of the demon beast in the lotus disc and not the porcelain bottle?

After a long wait, more than an hour passed, Gong Huaiming did not wait for the thief he imagined, it was dark outside, the bright moon was hanging high, everything was so quiet.

Gong Huaiming rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, and his heart was depressed, could it be that the thief realized that he had set a trap waiting for him, or was he already full or was ready to come back tomorrow because it was dark? No matter what he thought, he didn't have a useful clue.

Maybe he really remembered it wrong, Gong Huaiming was a little annoyed that he had delayed more than an hour, and saw that under the moonlight, everything was like day, so he planned to hurry up and draw a few ice shield talismans under the moonlight.

When Gong Huaiming came out of the room, walked under the vine, and his eyes fell on the lotus disc, he suddenly wanted to see a ghost, and gasped, he had just poured the lotus disc full of demon beast blood, but now, there was still only a shallow amount of demon beast blood in the lotus disc, and the rest of the demon beast blood disappeared again.

Gong Huaiming shook his head vigorously, patted his cheek with his palm, and then rushed to the outside of the small courtyard, squatted by the river at the door, and washed his face with the cool river water. When he confirmed that he was very conscious, he returned to the grapevines in the small courtyard, and looked at the lotus disc again, the blood of the demon beast in it seemed to be even less than just now, and even through the blood of the demon beast, he could see the lotus canopy drawn on the bottom of the lotus dish.

Is there a ghost? Or is there a master or spirit beast who knows how to hide? Or are there other possible surnames? For the first time, Gong Huaiming began to feel that the small courtyard he was renting now was not very safe.

Gong Huaiming hid in the hut just now and pretended to be asleep, but in fact, he had been staring at every move in the courtyard through the window. From beginning to end, he didn't find any movement, if there were really ghosts, stealth masters, and spirit beasts, it would pose a great threat to his personal safety and personal property.

The blood of the demon beast can disappear silently, doesn't it mean that his head may be cut off silently at a certain moment?

In any case, it is necessary to find out the secret of the disappearance of the demon beast's blood. Gong Huaiming secretly made up his mind, he thought about it, found a porcelain bowl and made a gesture, which was enough to cover the lotus plate. He poured the lotus disc full of demon beast blood again, and groped around the lotus disc with his hand for a long time, and after confirming that there was nothing around the lotus disc, he used the bowl to buckle the lotus disc with great agility.
