monster study

"Tell them that the Huangpu River is about to pick up wind, so be careful when sailing."

This was the first sentence Xiao Qiao said to Chong Ming after she locked herself in the study for several hours.At this moment, he had sorted out his emotions, his hair was neatly combed behind his ears, and there was not a single wrinkle on his clothes.

The morning sunlight poured in from the glazed windows of Qiao's mansion. He walked in the broken light and shadow, and walked faster and faster amidst the twittering of sparrows by the window, without any hesitation in his footsteps.

Xiao Qiao's words completely opened the prelude to the chaotic war in Shanghai.

Even though Lu Zhifei was leaning against Shang Si's arms, he still couldn't sleep soundly. When he got up early in the morning, walked to the bed and opened the door, he realized that today's Shiliyangchang was a little different from yesterday.

I don't know if it's because of staying in the study for a long time, or because there are more cinnabar moles, Lu Zhifei's ability to sense the vitality of the world is getting stronger and stronger.Just like now, he could feel the breath of a demon in the air stirred by the crowds coming and going on the street.

Moreover, the evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger.

"I smell something familiar." Shang Si also got down from the bed at some point, and glanced out of the window, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, "Those old widows who live in the mountains can't sit still anymore. .”

"Will they fight?" Lu Zhifei asked.

"Not yet. There are too many people here. If there are countless casualties in a fight, they will be punished by God." Shang Si said.

Lu Zhifei looked at him suspiciously, "But don't you guys know how to open barriers?"

"Not every big monster has the ability to open the enchantment." Shang Si hugged Lu Zhifei's waist, lowered his head and said with a smile, "How can you compare them with the omnipotent master, baby."

"Be serious." Lu Zhifei held down his claws that kept digging into his clothes.

Shang Si is very innocent, "Where am I not serious?"

Lu Zhifei was stunned, he couldn't just say "touch me" bluntly.Shang Si asked maliciously: "Tell me, where am I not serious?"

Lu Zhifei asked back, "Then what were your hands doing just now?"

Shang Si is serious, "It is exploring the physiological structure of a glutinous rice ball."

"Get lost." Lu Zhifei couldn't bear it anymore.

However, it turned out that Shang Si shamelessly asked for another kiss with the flavor of glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame seeds on the grounds that he was very sad.Tired and crooked enough, Shang Si took Lu Zhifei out. Before leaving, he didn't forget to order another cinnabar mole for Lu Zhifei.But this time, in order to look more natural, a cinnabar mole grew in the corner of Lu Zhifei's eye.

At almost eight o'clock in the morning, Shang Si, Lu Zhifei, Wu Qiangqiang took Taibai Taihei to eat breakfast at a roadside stall.Xiao Qiao and Chongming were not there, because they didn't come back last night, and they didn't know where they went.

"Don't worry, this is Xiao Qiao's territory, he knows us better than us." Shang Si drank the soy milk, his eyes swept to the shadows in the corner.A cloud of black air immediately retracted from the corner, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Let's not talk about them, today's Shili foreign market is almost turning into a ten-mile demon farm. This is a rare sight." Shang Si said, with a hint of emotion in his tone.Even in his long life, such a picture is extremely rare.

On the shoal after the impact of foreign culture, ancient and modern buildings are seamlessly connected.In the mist rising early, cars and rickshaws passed by.The lady in the car may be in a hurry and hasn't had breakfast yet, she unconsciously looks at the steamer, and is inevitably worried about the hygiene of the roadside stalls.And the pet that looked like a fox in her arms slowly opened its eyes, revealing an extremely humane gaze.

Lu Zhifei met his eyes unexpectedly, and got a trace of surprise from his eyes.On the wires above the head, a black bird stands on one foot with its wings folded, combing its feathers with a sharp beak, and looking down at all living beings with jewel-like eyes, its figure is noble.

The lattice windows of the northern dwelling opened with a creak, and an old lady with her gray hair permed into beautiful waves and emerald hair pins poked her head out, and placed a pot of delicate flowers on the window sill.The early morning wind blows with the scent of the morning, and the red flowers open to the morning sun, revealing the wriggling serrations on the petals.

It's hungry, and it needs food just like humans.

The black bird glanced at it, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he quickly turned his head away.He saw in the crowd coming and going below, a man in a suit took the trouble to put his disobedient ears back into his hat, and when a boy in a school uniform was standing by the roadside to buy breakfast, a little furry hair was faintly showing on the back of his hand. trace.

All this could not be hidden from his sharp eyes, as if he knew that the people sitting under the awning over there eating breakfast must not be good and should not be messed with.

Shang Si lowered his head and glanced and accidentally rolled to his feet. The trembling Ying Yao raised his head and said to Wu Qiangqiang: "Take Taibai Taihei to find Su Qiaolan, pay attention to her movements, and the people and people around you. Demon."

Seeing so many monsters appearing on the beach, Shang Si felt that it could not be ruled out that monsters stole the box that Su Qiaolan had buried.

Wu Qiangqiang bit the egg pancake and saluted Shang Si energetically, "I promise to complete the task!"

Taibai and Taihei hid in the small basket, and readily agreed.

So the three soldiers divided into two groups, Wu Qiang and Qiang went to watch, while Shang Si took Lu Zhifei wandering aimlessly on the street.The little shadow demon that rolled to Shang Si's feet followed behind them tremblingly, communicating silently with Shang Si.

"What did he say?" Lu Zhifei asked.

"The distribution of big monsters in Shanghai." Shang Si said casually, his eyes passing over the model who blinked suddenly in the window on the street, "Most monsters are like people, and they also like lively and prosperous places, so the Yangtze River Valley has always been a place of monsters. A densely populated area. When the demon world was in its heyday, if you beat down the Qinhuai River, at least two and a half out of ten were monsters. Now, this is the busiest place."

Shili Foreign Market is the busiest and most prosperous place in China right now.There are many people, and there are many demons.

While talking, Shang Si walked onto the Baidu Bridge, his eyes followed the ferry passing under the Baidu Bridge, and stretched towards the distance of the Wusong River.

"Shanghai's opening brought not only money and foreigners' artillery, but also foreign monsters. Beijing has dragon energy, and I set up a big formation, so even if I fell into a deep sleep, there are still several big monsters sitting in town , will not leave easily. But Shanghai is different, this is a new city, inclusive, mixed with fish and dragons." Shang Si said, and stopped on the Baidu Bridge.

Lu Zhifei stood beside him and looked out, boats passing by on the wide water.He thought seriously about Shang Si's words, and then asked: "If all the big monsters around gather here, won't there be a battle?"

"That's right. For monsters, whoever is the emperor is the same. But the concept of territory of monsters is as strong as your human's concept of country. It turns out that it may be the big turtle in the monk's skin in Hanshan Temple and the little phoenix in Qinhuai River. Let's fight, and once in a while there will be a few group fights, but some unsightly alien monsters come to grab the territory, what do you think should we do?" Shang four spread his hands, "Fight, if you can't die, just keep fighting, grabbing territory is a very difficult task important things."

Listening, Lu Zhifei couldn't help thinking of the sixth master Wu Qiang talked about, the dragon that died on Kunlun Mountain.Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of him. Lu Zhifei hurriedly looked, but saw nothing.

Shang Si's comments followed, "To be honest, I still don't understand why those foreigners always hold a branch in their hands when they cast spells. Can't they make the magic weapon look better? The big sword of the young master How wonderful, the twelve rings are all pure gold, if you don’t like it, you can sell it for a good price.”

Lu Zhifei: "..."

"There are too few types of monsters and gods there. I have done research before, and I feel that they are all flying Lei Zhenzi. Unlike here, the seven aunts and eight aunts, the ones who walk in the sky and run on the ground Everything can be made for you, and you can still eat it, and you will never have to worry about famine."

Lu Zhifei didn't know where to start complaining.

However, at this moment, a group of black shadows suddenly swept from afar, like a gathering of countless birds, and like a huge meteorite, with a huge momentum.And when those strange noises, which seemed to be composed of countless small voices, reached Lu Zhifei's ears, he could see clearly that the black shadows were countless bats!

But there are too many bats!

Lu Zhifei's scalp became numb for a while, and he turned to look at Shang Si, only to see that the corner of his mouth was hooked, and the smile on his face was even wider.

Shang Si slowly raised his hand, mana emerged between his five fingers, and a drop of black water like ink quickly condensed on his fingertips.Then he flicked lightly, "Go."

The black water droplets drew a graceful arc in the air, and flew towards the raging bat swarm without any speed.Slow and fast coexist strangely under the same sky, and then——

"Boom!" After being hit by a bat at the head, the black water drop suddenly turned into a monstrous black flame and swept across the bat group.

In the black and white Shanghai, the black flame rising from the wide Wusong River seems to have no warmth at all, more like a sign of thunderstorm coming.

The shrill cries of bats and the scorching heat are trapped in the deep ink, and the clouds of flames change gracefully, attracting the eyes of passing merchant ships.

An old sailor looked up and muttered, "It's a fine day, why is it raining again?"

Is it going to rain?Maybe soon.

Shang Si stretched out his hand, grabbed some warm ashes blown by the wind, and said, "Xiao Qiao, as Peony, issued an order to catch monsters, and the chaos will start soon."
