I was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Duan Lu, my mind exploded.

How could this be... I clearly saw him just now...

"Yujiu, didn't you say that Duan Lu is dead?" The master's voice was a little cold, and his eyes showed some quickness, "Isn't he standing here properly?"

Duan Lu also showed a surprised expression when he heard that, "What? I'm not dead? I'm fine."

Qiu Muxue and I looked at each other, and we both saw surprise in the other side.Qiu Muxue bit the bullet and kowtowed to her master, "Master, I also saw that skinned man, Brother Yajiu didn't lie... I just don't know why he suddenly disappeared..."

At this time, everyone present was at a loss, and the voice of earnestly checking spread among the crowd.Gui Sheng also said to the master, "This matter is strange, since Senior Brother Yajiu and this... Huh? Aren't you the younger brother of that Sword Demon?!"

Guisheng recognized Qiu Muxue at a glance, and it was the first time that the master put his eyes on Qiu Muxue.

Countless eyes immediately focused on Qiu Muxue, making him lower his head nervously.

The master asked, "Why did you come to Shushan to learn from a teacher? Your brother's swordsmanship is the best in the world, so why choose someone else as a teacher?"

Qiu Muxue panicked, "It's my brother who is going to Jiuli, and he thinks I'm in the way, so he asked me to come here to learn from a teacher..."

The master raised his eyebrows, "Going to Jiuli?"

"Yes... my brother didn't say what to do, he just said it's very important ten..."

The master nodded and turned to look at Duan Lu, "What did you do tonight? Did you hear or see anything strange?"

Duan Lu shook his head, "I've been sleeping?"

"Yao Jiu said that he heard screams in the yard, did any of you hear any unusual movements?"

Everyone shook their heads.I couldn't believe it, and shouted, "He screamed so badly, you didn't hear it?!" A disciple said, "I really didn't hear anything..."

Another said, "Could...make us sleep too soundly?"

"But it was really loud, Qiu Muxue and I could hear it harshly outside the yard!"

No one spoke, I just felt that I was in a weird vortex, but I couldn't see the truth clearly.

"Since no one has any accidents, it's fine." The master ordered Gui Sheng to send people to patrol at night, and report any abnormalities immediately.Then he turned around, as if planning to leave.He took two steps, then turned to look at me, "Aren't you coming back with me?"

I followed in silence.

Up to now, even I myself have begun to wonder if I have hallucinations, or that the red thing is not telling me "Duan Lu", but something else?

My mind is in a mess.But one thing is certain, Shushan is not normal.

Until the master's voice dragged me back to reality, "Crow Nine."

"what?"

"How are these days?"

The master walked slowly in front, dragging the long brocade robe of cranes on the ground.The mountain road is twists and turns, with the shadow of rutabaga trees on one side, and the steep cliff on the other side. In the distance, the steep peaks are like gauze and light clouds support a round moon. The moonlight shrouds him in front of him. His black hair is full of layers The faint silver light reminds us of the exiled immortals in the murals.Looking at his back, I suddenly felt a little distant.It seems that the distance between him and him is not long, but it can no longer be shortened.

My eyes were a little sore, I lowered my head, "I'm fine."

He seemed to nod his head, "That's good. Last time, my tone was a bit harsher, and it couldn't be better if you can figure it out."

His gentle attitude made me feel even more uncomfortable.I caught up and grabbed his sleeve, his footsteps stopped, but he didn't turn his head to look at me.

After holding back for a long time, I finally mustered up the courage and said in a low voice, "Master, what did I do wrong, can you tell me? I'll change everything..."

There was silence for a long time, only the sad sound of the locust, called alone in the shadow of the tree.

The master turned around slowly, I just felt my heart lift up, and I didn't dare to look up into his eyes.

"You're not wrong." The master's words were somewhat ethereal and illusory, "It's me... I'm on Penglai Island... I shouldn't have kissed you..."

I looked up suddenly, but saw a pair of extremely sad eyes.But only for a moment, he seemed to be hiding his emotions.

I don't understand, this year is my happiest year, why did he say it shouldn't happen?

"I don't understand..." I shook my head and suddenly grabbed his shoulders forcefully, "Master, I like you, from the moment you dived into the sea and held me for the first time! I've been waiting for so many years , I finally waited until you liked me, why did you say that suddenly? Ever since the head teacher passed away, you have been acting weird, what happened?!"

The master didn't struggle, and let my fingers sink into his shoulders.He's always so calm, it drives me crazy...

"Crow Nine..." He said two words, but for a moment he showed some pain.

It hurts too much to say...

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm himself down.

When the eyes were opened again, there was only a dead silence.

"You like me, so do I have to treat you as a lover?" He said lightly, "I am the head teacher of Shushan, so I shouldn't be emotional. I was wrong before. If you can't accept it, you can choose Leave. I... set you free."

"shut up!!!"

I yelled, my voice was stern, even he was startled, and looked at me in surprise.

Probably because I have never shown such a look to him.

My hands were tightly clenched into fists, my nails sank into the flesh and bled, but I didn't feel any pain.I have never been so angry, a wave of grief and anger is surging in my body, and my mind is blood red.

"Sheng Wenxiu, what do you mean by letting me go freely! Do you think I'm a dog who can come and go at will?!" I felt tears overflowing my eyes, even though I felt ashamed, I couldn't stop, "It was like this when you picked me up, it was like this when you snubbed me, it was like this when you kissed me, and it's still like this when you want to drive me away now! You always make decisions so casually, you never asked me what I think!"

The master seemed to tremble a bit, but still said lightly, "Well, what do you want?" "I know you are not merciless to me! I want you to be with me!" I yelled, as if my chest was stagnant The anger of these many months has been shouted out.

Such a domineering confession, I never thought about it before...

The master also seemed to be shocked by me, his eyes widened a little, and he stared at me blankly.

The two of us faced each other in silence as if we had just fought a battle.The quiet wind swept over our sleeves, adding a little tension.

I straightened my back and stared at him with the most imposing expression, as if I could force him to submit.I know it's useless, but it's the only thing I can do.

The master finally moved.He shook his head lightly, lowered his eyes, turned around, and his whole body rose into the sky like a flying feather, and disappeared after a while...

He... escaped? !

What is this called? !I finally worked up the courage to say so much, why did he run away without saying anything? !

Although my heart was hanging in the air, I didn't have the courage to catch up.I'm afraid that if you press too hard, he will really say unfeeling words, even "let me go free".

For the next two days, the master started avoiding me again.And there was still no conclusion about what happened that night. Gui Sheng said that they had searched all over Shushan Mountain and found no suspicious person.

I was depressed, I wanted to go to Liushuang Palace to drink with the nymphomaniac, but suddenly I saw Yao Tonghong came to me, saying that it was Langya Daoist who wanted to meet me in the Pill Yuan Bureau.I rushed to the alchemy office that was so high above the sky, and saw from a distance that the door of the alchemy room sealed by Shenxu was opened a crack, and a flash of Huafa flashed inside.I peeked through the crack of the door and saw Master Langya pacing slowly in front of the long row of medicine cabinets, occasionally pulling out the drawers to have a look.He stopped suddenly and asked, "Is it Yajiu?"

I pushed the door open and went in, "What are you doing here? Isn't this place sealed off?"

"Mount Shu is not peaceful recently, I suddenly miss my junior brother." Master Langya closed the medicine cabinet casually, and put a notebook in his hand on the desk for making medicine.

"You also heard about the red ghost in Shushan recently?"

"How come you haven't heard about such a big event. I also heard that you saw it a few days ago?"

I nodded, "Not only did I see it, I think, I also know what it is..."

He followed my words, "The one who was skinned?"

He even knew this... How come the news is so well-informed.In this way, did he also notice that something was wrong?

I nodded, "The man said he was Duan Lu, but Duan Lu is obviously fine...so I'm not quite sure what I saw..."

Daoist Langya sat down cross-legged in front of the table for preparing medicine for kidney deficiency, and tightened his clothes as if he was afraid of the cold, "Have you heard of a technique of painting the skin of the Wu clan?"

I shook my head, quickly sat across from him, and asked with my head, "Painting skin...isn't it what I imagined..."

"You know, a demon with profound Taoism can possess a body, but possession requires many conditions. Different people have different physiques. Only those who find a suitable physique can possess a body. And even after being possessed, it is very difficult. It is easy to reveal the demonic aura, because after all, it is robbing the body with the soul of a person. If you are not careful, you will show your feet. But besides possessing the body, the demon has another way to pretend to be a human being... This is to use the painted skin of the witch clan This technique." Reverend Langya tilted his head slightly, looked at the white and rolling sea of ​​clouds outside the alchemy room, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "This technique is to peel off the flesh of a living person, wear it on himself, and then take the brain of the dead. Swallow. This human skin can last for a year, during which no one can see the flaws, and after eating the brain, part of the person's memory can be obtained, and it is easy to disguise."

I was terrified when I heard it, "You mean...the real Duan Lu...has already been eaten, and now that...is Jiuli's demon?"

Master Langya did not say yes, nor did he deny it, "This technique is extremely cruel, and it is very easy to be backlashed by the ghosts of the dead. If it is really a painting skin technique, it can be so secretive, it is definitely not a two monsters acting alone... ..."

I suddenly stood up, "I'll tell the master! Shushan now...doesn't know how many monsters have infiltrated it!"

"Wait!" He yelled sternly, "You must not tell Wenxiu about this!"

I stopped, "Why?"

"Yaojiu, what I told you today, absolutely must not let the third person know!" Langya real person looked at me seriously, there was something very heavy in his eyes, "Shushan, there is an inner ghost."
