Chapter 13 Stone Hydrangea
Since the revival of the evil spirit, this evil spirit has been extremely contagious and lethal to humans.
Once infected, if it is not treated in time, there is a high chance that it will become a corpse.
But "demon energy" also has a beneficial side.
Used properly, it can cure diseases or improve cultivation.
Therefore, many common people, monks and even profit forces secretly entered Shiwanda Mountain to collect pure demonic energy, causing great trouble to the court.
There are even many monks who simply use "demon energy" to replace the thin "weather mysterious energy" to practice, and eventually become demon cultivators.
This is the case with Leng Chaozong, the master of Tianqing Mansion.
The Island of the Dead, one of the eight major forces of the demon clan, are all human monks who practice demon energy.
However, compared to the demon clan, the imperial court’s resistance to demon cultivators was not very strong. For some demon cultivators, as long as you don't show off too much, you can basically turn a blind eye.
Someone in the court even suggested that the demon cultivators should be incorporated into the six gates to rule the barbarians with barbarians.
This proposal was naturally strongly opposed by others.
Li Nanshuang took off the wine bottle and took a sip, and said angrily:
“What nonsense are you talking about? If the stewed noodles are stained with evil spirit, how can we not see it? Can Zhang Shengshou not see it? ? Besides, Shaomian was only scratched by the demon, not bitten."
"Yes, yes, I am just worried about Xiao Jiang."
Lu Renjia smiled and said, "At that time, Xiaojiang told us that he might have been bitten, which shocked us."
Li Nanshuang shook his head and said: "It's just an illusion. The higher-ups have sent special personnel to check the body of the braised noodles. Except for two scratches, there were no bite marks.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Shouzhong recalled the situation that day.
At that time, he clearly remembered being bitten on his ankle, but when he checked, there was no bite mark. Perhaps... it was because he had the ability to "talk to the dead"?
"Okay, you go and do your work first. In addition, when this case is settled, I will give you a few days off. In order to avoid saying that I, the boss, do not take care of the brothers. I am not like other hall masters, just for promotion. Squeezing you all day long”
Li Nanshuang walked to the door and suddenly slapped his smooth forehead, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot another important thing. A new member will come to our Fenglei Hall in two days."
"Male, female "
Lu Renjia's eyes lit up.
Li Nanshuang's almond-shaped eyes were slanted, and a hint of joking appeared on her pretty face with creamy white skin, "Who are you guessing?"
After that, she walked away.
The bright broad sword disappeared from everyone's sight with the girl's light steps.
Lu Renjia stroked his moustache, pretending to be profound and said:
"Based on Master Jia's years of experience, the new members joining our Fenglei Hall this time are either men or women."
Jiang Shouzhong walked to the corpse alone, squatted down, and whispered softly, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
The corpse was lifeless.
"Forget it if you don't have one."
Jiang Shouzhong doesn't expect every dead person to emerge like the remnant scholar Zhang Lang.
What's more, he also has a way to force the dead to speak, but the side effects are too great and he doesn't want to use it.
In short, Jiang Shouzhong did not want to talk to the dead unless he had to.
This made him feel like he was a dead person.
unlucky.
......
Leaving Wufengguan, Li Nanshuang, who likes to put down his burden, wanders leisurely on the street. The girl was wondering whether she should go home and sleep today or go to the street to play chess with the old man. Forget it about fishing, you’re just looking for trouble in the middle of winter.
While passing by the entrance of Laoyanzi Street, I saw a candied haws of sugar for sale. Li Nanshuang bought a bunch and prepared to eat it with wine.
Uncle Li didn't care at all about the monster case.
Since the revival of the evil spirit, there have been countless murders, large and small.
Although Li Nanshuang sympathizes with the innocent people who were killed by monsters, if she were to be like those Taoist priests in Zhenxuan Mountain, taking it as her duty to kill monsters and create a peaceful world, she would not Dry.
If we meet him in person, she will take care of it.
It didn’t happen under her nose, so she didn’t bother to deal with it.
To put it in the words of my uncle: If you are too busy in life, don’t think about living in vain; if you are too busy, your true nature will not be revealed. Therefore, a gentleman must not care about his physical and mental worries, nor can he not indulge in the fun of romance.
Li Nanshuang didn't like the uncle who was full of sour Confucianism, but occasionally he still somewhat agreed with the great truths he put forward.
Although what I am currently doing is very different from what my uncle said, walking around with birds, playing chess and crickets every day is also the fun of romance. Occasionally solving cases with his men is not nothing to do.
So, Uncle Li is very satisfied with his bad attitude.
Out of Laoyanzi Street, Li Nanshuang was going to cross the main street and go to Chaigou Lane to see if there was any old man playing chess.
I haven't tortured those old men for several days, and I feel itchy.
Just after passing a fork in the road, Li Nanshuang paused suddenly and then turned around.
"What? When you see me, your little tiger turns into a little mouse? But Aunt Li is not a cat either."
The woman's joking voice sounded in the girl's ears.
Li Nanshuang frowned, grinned, turned around and squeezed out a bright smile, looked at the graceful woman not far away, and said in a sweet voice: "Aunt Li, ah no, Sister Li... …What a coincidence, when did you come to the capital?”
"Aunt, just aunt, why do you call me sister? It's not like Aunt Li doesn't recognize her."
Li Guanshi waved to the girl to come closer.
Li Nanshuang bravely came to the woman's side, smiled and patted the horse:
"What aunt, it's my sister! Sister Li is as beautiful as a fairy, with a fairy-like appearance and national beauty, she will always be eighteen years old , There is no woman in the world younger and more beautiful than Sister Li.”
Li Guanshi touched the girl’s head and said with a smile:
"My courage is getting smaller and smaller, and my little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. I remember when we first met, someone called me an 'old woman' angrily.
Oh, by the way, I seem to have heard this recently. Said someone gave me a nickname, 'Shi Xiangqiu'? Well, Aunt Li likes it very much."
Li Nanshuang suddenly had a big head and said angrily:
"Who is this? This is too much! Sister Li, don't worry, no matter how others slander you, in my heart, Li Nanshuang, you will always be a goddess in heaven and a fairy on earth! Don't let me meet that person. I have met him. , I will definitely beat him up hard!”
If Lu Renjia were here, he would definitely stick out his thumb and praise: In terms of shamelessness and flattery skills, the boss is not inferior to Mr. Jia.
Li Guanshi smiled, his eyes drifting towards the snow-covered Wuchan Temple tower in the distance, his expression in a trance.
Seeing that the woman was silent, Li Nanshuang did not dare to speak out and just stayed calm.
There are not many people who can make Uncle Li, who has a sweet temperament and full of courage, be sincerely afraid. This woman next to him is definitely among the top three.
The words "old woman" made her suffer a lot back then.
Although the other party is smiling now, if he turns his face, the King of Hell will have to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Is your master okay?" Li Guanshi asked softly.
“Fortunately, Master is still like that bear. He goes up the mountain to chop firewood every day, occasionally plays the piano to the cow, looks for deer and draws horses...”
At this point, Li Nanshuang’s expression changed and he became nervous. Said: "Sister Li, you are not going to choose my master."
Thanks to Miyazawa Suzura, Shiai, and Yangwang for their rewards
