Shopkeeper and God

The city has been stable for a hundred years under his management, and it seems that it is time to be overthrown.

Cang thought so, and jumped out with his hands on the edge of the pit.Mingyuan made room for him, watched him shake off all the dirt and leaves covered in his body, and then heard him ask: "So what are they pursuing, or to put it in a simpler way, what is their purpose?"

If you can't figure this out, you can't make a move. Cang suddenly finds that he can use this phoenix's simplicity to know some things he needs to know.He can't even fight Mingyuan, let alone fight Baochen, but he vaguely feels that there will definitely be a battle between them, and he has to prepare for this battle from now on.Therefore, he looked down at Mingyuan, looked at Mingyuan's clear black eyes, and heard Mingyuan say without any surprise:

"Longevity. They want people to live in this world consciously forever, without turning into walking dead or evil spirits."

"...?!"

It was really like a bolt of lightning, splitting through Cang's mind.

Spiritual Bell (1)

The golden flying bird dragged its long golden phoenix tail, fluttered its wings and sprinkled fine gold powder into the dimly lit night of the world.The gradually waxing moon hangs in the sky, the stars are sparse and bright, revealing a bit of autumn air.Facing the wind, Baochen inspected the mid-air with his gaze, the whistling sound drowned out all other sounds, and the moonlight reflected a cold light in his eyes.

"Qingyan seemed to want to come, so we stopped by."

Su Mu and Qingyan, who have become black and white in the underworld, came to Qixie to play a few days ago.With Su Mu as the master by his side, Qingyan's body is full of spiritual power, and it seems that he can fight even more in reality. Besides, the simple-minded sword spirit is not to mention very happy to be by the master's side.

It's just that they have changed into the standard clothes of ghosts in the underworld: Su Mu wears white, and Qingyan wears black.It would be a pity to lose that touch of girlish red.But Su Mu didn't care. She looked at Qingyan who was playing with Dihong in the courtyard, and she couldn't help smiling a little in her eyes, which were always ruthless. It made one wonder if she recalled something.

Lu Xing poured her a cup of tea, poured one himself, took a sip and asked, "Does the girl really remember her?" According to what Su Mu said before, in order to protect her saber, she used memory to protect her saber. For the entrustment fee, he entrusted the Qixie shopkeeper at the time to send Qingyan to the ghost market for safekeeping.Qi Xie seldom charges this kind of non-substantial commission fee. Firstly, it will not make any money, and secondly, it will cause a lot of damage to the deliverer.Just like Su Mu today, although she can remember the whole incident, she can't remember that Qingyan is her knife.

This feeling was very subtle and confusing, but Lu Xing saw Su Mu's appearance, but felt that she was not trapped, but rather free and easy.Hearing Lu Xing's question, the white-haired woman shook her head, picked up the tea and said, "I don't remember, but I know, she is the one I love." She was firm and straightforward.After saying that, she turned her head to look at Lu Xing, and said, "Where is the adult who went with you earlier?" Of course, she was referring to Baochen.

Lu Xing smiled and said, "He went shopping, and he picked up my apprentice back from school by the way, and he won't be back for a while. The girl also wants to see him?" After all, they are black and white in the underworld, and Lu Xing has no intention of letting them Contact with Chen Yiguang.The child has not yet reached the age to deal with ghosts, and it is not good for him to be too cloudy.

Su Mu didn't say anything, just nodded, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't like him very much. Although I don't know what happened between him and your Majesty, I still hope that he will be more stable and less troubled. It's all Don't make it difficult for others to work for others." She said and took a sip of tea.Lu Xing couldn't help laughing, and said, "He's really not a fuel-efficient lamp." With some emotion in his tone, Su Mu couldn't help but look at him, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"A few days ago, his friends and subordinates from Yushan came to him," Lu Xing said, pointing to Dihong.Di Jiang went out with Bao Chen, and Di Hong wanted to follow, but Bao Chen ordered him to stay and take care of Lu Xing.The little guy was aggrieved and strong at the time, and his mood was depressed for a long time, until he started playing with Qingyan, he was not happier.Lu Xing continued: "He had a quarrel with his friend named Ming Yuan. Ming Yuan took something out, and it is said that he fought with the mountain god in the middle of the night. Although Cang is only three hundred years old, he is still The mountain god, it is said that he was beat up by the mountain god and couldn't come down, and he was finally detained in the garden of the mountain god. He hasn't come back for several days. Speaking of this, the girl knows that there is such a big little book, which is dark and cold. What?" Lu Xing gestured, looked at Su Mu and thought for a moment, and heard her say, "Could it be the Sansheng Book?"

The book of life and death is a white book, and the book of three lives is a black book.Lu Xing narrowed his eyes, and Su Mu said again: "A few days ago, there was indeed a ghost messenger who said that he found a book of three lives by the side of Naihe Bridge. The book of three lives is usually placed in the library of Mr. Judge. The 'notebook' is usually not lost..." At the end of the sentence, she probably couldn't understand this matter, and said again: "Speaking of it, the underworld has really lost a lot of things recently."

Lu Xing smiled curiously and asked "how".You must know that stealing things from hell is more difficult than stealing a national treasure from a museum.

"It's okay to talk about other things, but there was a ghost who came to the world to do business and lost his soul-calling bell. When he went back, he was scolded by the mansion and thrown into the animal realm to be punished." This matter is not small. Throwing it in the human world, aren't you afraid of causing those lonely ghosts to riot?

Lu Xing was thinking about it, but Su Mu over there drank his tea and stood up, and greeted Qing Yan in the courtyard, "It's getting late, we should go too."Qingyan doesn't seem to have had enough fun with Dihong. She just found out that this little doll who looks like seven or eight years old sings very well, and wants to ask him to sing a part. Su Mu is a bit disappointed when he said that.However, Su Mu didn't seem to see Qing Yan's begging expression at all, and he walked a few steps before opening the door, but Lu Xing over there had no intention of seeing off the guests at all, seeing the two of them were about to leave, it was so faint He asked, "So girl, didn't you come to ask me to entrust you?"

He was so confident in his words that Su Mu stopped and looked up at him.Qingyan rested on her shoulder, blinking her eyes curiously.Su Mu had no expression on his face. Looking at Lu Xing's smile, he said, "I'm penniless, and we have a mission to come here."

"Isn't the so-called mission to find the Soul Calling Bell?" Lu Xing held his tea and smiled, "It's good to have more people, girl, right?"

——So the so-called manpower is Baochen.

The so-called soul-calling bell will definitely not ring when it does not meet the soul.And once it sounds, it will definitely cause restlessness in the soul. Without the control of ghosts, it is likely to cause chaos in the world and cause a catastrophe.But according to Su Mu, the soul calling bell has been lost for a day or two, but nothing serious has happened in the city.Therefore, what Lu Xing meant was: the summoning bell has probably fallen into someone's hands, and it may be difficult to find it by ordinary methods.

So Baochen wanted to lure out the soul-calling bell.Those birds of light carried the aura of the mountain god, and when they passed by the city, they seemed to be able to see through the entire city, which naturally had a deterrent effect on those evil things.Although Baochen is not a local mountain god, the effect should be the same.Lu Xing didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost who hid the Soul Calling Bell, but if it lacked concentration, it would be forced out by Bao Chen sooner or later.Lu Xing was just betting, whose patience was limited.

Today is the third day of Baochen's patrol, now two hours have passed, the whole city has been turned around five or six times, and the ones forced out are still some idle little monsters.Baochen stopped in mid-air, he didn't know if he would draw Cang out if he continued to spin, after all the fox's sense of territory was not low.What's more, Mingyuan did those things a few days ago...

Lu Xing didn't know what Ming Yuan did, and Bao Chen, who knew it well, naturally didn't want to hit the gun, let alone let Lu Xing take the blame later.Therefore, he was a little hesitant, thinking whether he should go to Lu Xing and talk about it in another day. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a small black ball struggling to move on the roof over there.

It was a little black cat, Baochen felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, and it wore two bells around its neck, the color of brass, without sound.

Baochen waved his hand suddenly, and the birds of light hovering around him screamed sharply at the black cat and rushed towards the black cat like a bullet.Knowing that he was discovered, the little black cat dodged left and right to avoid the attacks of several birds of light, but because of his small body, he was finally overturned by the gust of light caused by the birds of light.It screamed and wanted to get up, but the birds of light rushed back, attacking it with sharp claws and beaks.Baochen saw the kitten gradually unable to resist, and was about to fly over to retrieve the soul calling bell from it, but heard the cat let out a shrill cry, and then a human arm emerged from the light.The cat-like nails tore the birds of light surrounding him to pieces in two or three strokes.Baochen stood still in mid-air, looking at the boy on the roof.

It was a handsome young man with a soul calling bell tied around his neck.Baochen twirled the golden light with his hands and watched the changes quietly in mid-air. The young man knelt on the roof for a while, but he straightened his chest and made a gesture of drawing a bow and nodding an arrow.Baochen's heart tightened suddenly, and he saw an illusory wind gathering between the young man's fingers, and then, with a flash of cold light on his fingertips, he shot dozens of arrows at Baochen.

This attack is so familiar, Baochen can be sure that it is him.Without hesitation, Baochen drew Jin Guang to cut it off.The moment all the arrows were cut off, the boy turned and ran away
