Master is unreliable

Chu Lan sat there without moving, when suddenly a rustling sound came from her ears, she looked up, and saw the ghost found a place in the corner and sat down.

No, it is better to say lie than sit.I saw him half lying in the corner, lazily, as if he had no bones on his body.

Chu Lan couldn't help pinching the cold steamed bun in her hand angrily, and said to herself, "Master's every move is very upright and elegant, and he will never be like this uneducated ghost."

If he could beat it, Chu Lan really wanted to rush up and drag that ghost out of Master's body.

Maybe it was because Chu Lan's gaze was too intense, the ghost turned his head and said, "Huh? See what I'm doing?"

Chu Lan was taken aback, and picked out a piece of steamed bun with his nails. He collected himself and whispered, "Master, where are we?"

"on the boat."

Of course Chu Lan knew that she was on a boat, and hearing the movement outside, she was afraid that it was still a big boat.

Chu Lan choked for a moment, and continued to ask, "Where are we going?"

"Where are you going? I really haven't thought about it. Is there any interesting place in the human world?" The ghost held his chin for a while and pondered for a while, then asked Chu Lan: "Is there any place you want to go? I will show you around as a teacher." go."

Chu Lan who listened to all his words: "..."

Chu Lan forced a smile, "I've been staying in the fishing village and never left, and I don't know where to go."

"That's it." There was an obvious disappointed expression on the ghost's face, and he said after a while: "I think it's not like this, let's follow this boat, and we will go wherever it stops. .”

"...Okay." Chu Lan nodded cautiously, not knowing what the ghost was thinking.

After talking about these few words, the two of them stopped talking.Chu Lan's emotions were still tense, and after a while, the ghost suddenly moved, and Chu Lan's heart almost flew out of her throat.

The ghost didn't get up, just adjusted his posture, and then a melody came out of his mouth, a very cheerful tune, very pleasant to hear, even without lyrics.

Although Chu Lan was terrified of this ghost, she couldn't deny that the tune he hummed was really beautiful, with an inexplicable power to calm people's hearts.

Chu Lan's tense mood eased a little, but he still didn't dare to relax. He stared at the ghost's back, and saw the ghost stretching slowly, the humming song stopped, and let out a comfortable sigh .

Even if you can't see the ghost's face, you can feel from his relaxed back and lazy tone that he is in a very good mood.

Chu Lan was in a bad mood.

In the next few hours, Chu Lan turned countless thoughts in her heart, just because she was afraid of the ghost with weird behavior, she didn't dare to act rashly.Just when Chu Lan was about to bald her hair under the quilt, someone knocked on the door outside.

Chu Lan threw off the quilt and jumped up from the bed almost at the moment the door knocked. He really didn't want to stay with this ghost for a second.When he rushed to open the door, he staggered because he was too eager, and almost hit the door.

There was a strong man standing outside the door, with a big beard and copper bell eyes, he looked a bit fierce.

Chu Lan pulled the door knocker, a little regretful that she opened the door without asking clearly. This person doesn't look like a good person no matter what.

The strong man looked down at Chu Lan, and suddenly grinned, "It's great that you're awake, young master."

He was already scary standing there, and it was even scarier to smile like this, not to mention that he stretched out a hand.

Seeing the big hand reaching out to her, Chu Lan was shocked, took a step back suddenly, and bumped into someone's arms unexpectedly.

Chu Lan turned her head, and saw a piece of light blue clothes appearing in front of her eyes, accompanied by a leisurely and cold fragrance.That was not the smell Chu Lan was familiar with.

Thinking of the master's body being occupied by something, Chu Lan felt disgusted and terrified at the same time. He subconsciously wanted to escape from that person's arms.

But before he could make a move, he saw a pair of slender white hands pressing on his shoulders, and then a clear and smiling voice sounded above his head: "Sorry, he was frightened, Brother Wang, please don't mind."

The brawny man smiled heartily: "It's all right, Brother Liu, the sea is very humid, I made someone boil fish soup, come and drink together, to warm your body."

Hearing the strong man call the man behind him Brother Liu, Chu Lan was startled for a while, but then she couldn't care less about being afraid.His master's surname is Liu, and his single name is the word Xi.This ghost not only occupied Master's body, but also used his identity.

Chu Lan's eyes were bleeding from hatred, but he couldn't do anything, so he couldn't help but start to resent his incompetence.

The ghost quickly made an agreement with the strong man. After the strong man left, Chu Lan couldn't wait to follow, but just as he stepped out of the room, he was pulled back by his collar.

Seeing the door close again before his eyes, Chu Lan's complexion changed suddenly. He wanted to yell in horror, but found that the ghost put him down.

"Suddenly remembered," the ghost dug out something from the bed and handed it to Chu Lan, "You haven't changed your dirty clothes yet, so change them quickly so you can go out for dinner. I'll wait for you outside."

The door opened and closed, Chu Lan looked at the clothes in her hand and then turned her head to look at the closed door, her face was full of puzzlement.

What the hell is this ghost trying to do?

**

When Chu Lan came to the dining hall, she realized that the person who asked them to eat just now was the person in charge of the ship.

Seeing them coming, the strong man greeted warmly, "Come, sit here."

Chu Lan looked around and found that the dining hall was very large, but there were not many people eating. He thought it might be because it was not time for dinner.When the two of Chu Lan were seated, the strong man ordered three bowls of fish soup to come over.

The milky white fish soup decorated with emerald green shallots is really tempting, but Chu Lan has no appetite. He holds the spoon and stirs the fish soup in the bowl again and again, taking a long time to sip it lightly. Take a small sip, but you can't taste anything.

Compared to Chu Lan's preoccupation, the ghost around him was in a very good mood.The ghost chatted with the strong man while drinking the fish soup, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Although Chu Lan was absent-minded, she also learned some information from their conversation.

This is a merchant ship, departing from Qingzhou, it will drift on the sea for several months to Yinzhou.

The strong man suddenly asked: "Brother Liu, where are you going?"

Chu Lan's ears perked up all of a sudden, and he heard the ghost say, "Go to Yinzhou."

Chu Lan was anxious, he had never heard of Qingzhou or Yinzhou, he just wanted to go to Tianzhaomen.But he didn't know where Tianzhaomen was, and he didn't dare to let the ghosts around him know his thoughts.Chu Lan was struggling secretly, her small face wrinkled into a ball.

The strong man over there had already started to tell about the customs and customs of Yinzhou under the questioning of the ghost. The ghost had bright eyes and listened very seriously.

The atmosphere was good, when suddenly there was a noise coming from outside, the strong man got up and opened the baffle of the dining hall, and shouted outside: "What happened?"

Someone replied: "A wooden barrel was found in the sea, and a person was lying on it."

Chu Lan's heart skipped a beat, and his breathing became short of breath. He thought, could it be... from the village?

When the man on the barrel was rescued, he had died.On the deck, everyone looked at the fished-up corpse with horror.

The death of this person was too tragic, the torn skirt could not cover the four ferocious bloodstains on the back, the cheeks, limbs and other parts seemed to have been eaten by something, and the blood was blurred.

Chu Lan also followed, and when he saw the horror of the corpse on the deck, he couldn't help but tremble.He didn't know this person, but he had seen the death of this person.

Everyone in the village died like this.

Chu Lan clearly remembered that a group of lunatics attacked the village in the middle of the night. When he escaped with his master, he saw the group of people gnawing on the dead body with his own eyes.

Chu Lan thought tremblingly, the people who killed this person were the same people who attacked their village.

His eyes were fixed on the bloody corpse, and he thought, what kind of insane person is capable of doing such a cruel thing.

Suddenly a cold hand covered Chu Lan's eyes, blocking his gaze from looking at the corpse.

Chu Lan trembled, he knew who was standing behind him.

He was not moved by the ghost's behavior, but a thought that made his hair stand on end came from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Lan thought, could the ghost occupying Master's body be related to the group of people who attacked their village?

This thought made him feel like falling into an ice cellar. If that was the case, what did he want to do by leaving himself alone?

**

Duan Li covered Chu Lan's eyes with his hand to prevent him from looking at the bloody corpse on the deck, but his own eyes kept on the corpse, his brows slightly furrowed.

Suddenly someone shouted: "It's the thief, it must have been done by the thief!"

"The thief." Duan Li said softly, and felt the child in his arms tremble after speaking. He stretched out his hand and patted Chu Lan's back soothingly, and found that under his comfort, the child's shoulders were as stiff as a rock .

Duan Li chuckled from the bottom of his heart, this brat is not very big, but he is quite smart.

"Yes, it's the thief!" Someone in the crowd affirmed.

Duan Li glanced at the corpses on the deck, and already had the answer in his heart, but he still said: "The illusory road from the demons to the human world has long been sealed. Where did the demons enter the human world?"

The burly man standing behind watching the excitement came forward, his face was solemn: "We don't know what's going on, the robbers haven't appeared on the sea for thousands of years, but they have appeared on the sea inexplicably in recent years, I don’t know how many people have been harmed. I heard that several villages have been slaughtered recently, and now Xianmen is also trying to find a way, but these robbers come and go without a trace, slippery like a loach, it is really difficult to deal with."

Chu Lan heard their conversation clearly, but he had never heard of the demons, the robbers, the fairy gates, and the land of phantoms.

Chu Lan quietly kept these words in her heart, and decided to find time to avoid the ghost and ask other people.

**

Because of the robbers, the atmosphere on the ship was very depressed. After lunch, everyone went about their own affairs.

The strong man said to Duan Li: "Don't worry, the boss has already considered this point, and specially invited someone from the immortal sect to escort him, and everything will be fine."

Duan Li nodded, and the brawny man said again: "By the way, Brother Liu, I forgot to ask just now, how did you end up at sea with injuries all over your body?"

Duan Li thought about it for a while, and realized that he really didn't know what danger the master and apprentice had encountered, so he said, "Well, I can't remember."

He thought for a while and turned to look at Chu Lan beside him. He thought that this little guy must know, but in Chu Lan's eyes, Duan Li's glance was clearly a threat.

Chu Lan shrank her head and whispered, "I, I forgot too."

Strong man: "..."
