Nocturnal

Qin Mochi asked curiously: "What exactly is the Tianshu bow?"

"It's all just legends," Li Yedu showed a funny expression, "No one has seen it with their own eyes. It must be a more powerful weapon. What else can a weapon do? It must be more lethal."

Qin Mochi has doubts about this point, "There are too many things that are not worthy of the name. How can ancient weapons, cold weapons, be so powerful? Can they be more powerful than bazookas?"

Li Yedu and Qu Zhi both laughed.

"What's the origin?" From the perspective of cultural inheritance, Qin Mochi is still very interested in the story of the seven weapons.Famous weapons in ancient times all have some origins, such as the Snake Rebellion, and Mo Xie, with this layer of cultural packaging, the value of this object is immediately sublimated to the spiritual level.

Qu Zhi called the waiter.Now that the people who came here to smash the scene are gone, it's time for them to fill their stomachs.After ordering food, I began to satisfy the curiosity of Qin Mochi, the host, "Taoism was originally an academic school in the pre-Qin period, and the things they handed down are very complicated. Many things are completely untestable, so I say you listen, Just treat it as a story, anyway, I listened to it as a story at the beginning.”

Qin Mochi nodded cooperatively.

"Seven magical weapons, Tianquan Saber, Tianxuan Spear, Tianji Crossbow, Yuheng Sword, Shaking Halberd, Kaiyang Axe, and Tianshu Bow," Qu Zhi pointed out to him, "It is said that they are formed by the chaos of heaven and earth. , contains powerful energy. Some people also say that the Chixiao Sword used in the Snake Rebellion is actually the Yuheng Sword. But the legend is unfounded and reliable. These seven divine weapons were lost among the people during the War of the Gods, and their whereabouts are unknown." Qu Zhi The narration ended automatically when the box door was pushed open, and a pair of eyes with green light began to follow the dishes.

Qin Mochi was already full, holding a teacup and patiently waiting for them to eat and then telling stories.

Li Yedu looked amused, and spontaneously took over the task of telling the story, "Later, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, a southern vassal state presented a sharp sword, the Heavenly Power Sword. The legend of the ancient magic weapon resurfaced. water surface."

"How did the Sima family get the Tianshu bow?"

Li Yedu shook his head, "That's not clear. The other weapons may have been collected by the sect. But who would be foolish enough to publicize the rare treasures in their possession?"

Qu Zhi was very hungry, so he directly mixed the rice into the beef plate and ate it.While eating, he continued to educate Qin Mochi, "If it wasn't for the fact that Zhongnan Mountain's barrier was broken, Sima Heng sensed that the Tianshu bow was lost. Do you think he will shake it off?"

Qin Mochi understood.

"This old guy is smart." Qu Zhi snorted coldly, "Now that he has released the information about the loss of Tianshu Bow, it will definitely attract a lot of people's attention. It is equivalent to having a lot of helpers to help him find the lost property." There are rules for this type of cases, no matter who finds them in the end, they must return them to the owner after finding them.” In today’s world, the living space of monsters is limited, and it is really hard to follow the “Special Affairs Division” "There's really not much to do against it.

Qin Mochi couldn't help but praise, "It's really cunning."

Li Yedu and Qu Zhi both laughed.

Qin Mochi asked again, "Is it true that no one knows about the other weapons?"

Li Yedu thought for a while, "Actually, there were rumors that the Tianshu bow was collected by the Taoist school, but it's hard to say whether anyone believed it. As for the other pieces, no one can say for sure."

Qu Zhi took two mouthfuls of food, and said vaguely: "The Kaiyang ax and Tianji crossbow were mentioned in the old file, but there is no clear whereabouts. Besides, what is written on the paper is just a name. With the strength of our country The function of the cottage, it is not certain whether this magic weapon is that magic weapon. Don’t take it seriously, just listen to it as a story.”

"Stories..." Qin Mochi rubbed his chin. Stories are very popular among artists.Because they can often bring different inspirations.

Stimulated by this incident, Qin Mochi designed a set of men's accessories themed on ancient weapons: cufflinks in the shape of shields, tie clips in the shape of bows and crossbows, pendants in the shape of ancient axes, and so on.The legendary cold weapon has been artistically modified to show the strength and beauty unique to men in the most perfect form.

The response to the new series has been good.Most of his customers are women, but when women see the trinkets they like, they will also want to buy them for their lovers.

When the work came to an end, Qin Mochi also released the periodical workaholic mode, planning to take a small vacation for himself.It was only when I was free that I realized that I had missed a lot of things.For example, Sima Heng dragged his injured body and returned to Zhongnan Mountain immediately; Sima Zheng stayed in Linhai to assist the "Special Affairs Division" in tracking down the murderers who killed Sima Nan and Sima Cheng; The teacher Xu Rui was slightly injured while performing the task, and was approved to take a vacation, and started a busy blind date with the rare vacation.The captain Qu Zhi personally took a team member to the field to track down an important clue.As for Qin Mochi...

Qin Mochi began to follow Xia Zhi to fly all over the streets... cough, patrolling.On the one hand, he has to fulfill his promise and try to adapt to his new part-time job status; on the other hand, he has to gradually start to understand the situation of special residents in Linhai City.For example, monsters like the South District.The Southern District is a later developed area, with a large area, good environment, and good air. Most importantly, compared with other districts, this area has the lowest population density.

When he knew this, Qin Mochi was completely wrong.He finally knew what happened to Xia Zhifei's weird look every time he came to his house to hang out.Sure enough, he has his own arrangements in the dark, even if he doesn't know that he is a monster, will he follow some instinctive law to choose his place of residence?

Qin Mochi stared at the sky speechlessly, is it actually a coincidence?

The permanent residents of the Yaozu like to settle in the Binhai Road area of ​​the Southern District, and the floating people... The place where Yaokou prefers to get together is Nanjiang Street at the junction of the Southern District and the Eastern District.There are old streets and alleys there, full of ancient flavor.Probably this kind of scenery is full of old-fashioned style, which can make the monsters find a certain sense of belonging.What's more, places where the old and the new alternate are often of different religions, good and evil mixed together, and there is no place more suitable for hiding than this place.

On the old street of Nanjiang Street, there is an inn named "Old Fusheng", which is the favorite place for foreign monsters to stay.This inn also has a nickname, called the Monster Inn.

"It's said to have a history of 200 years," Xia Zhifei pointed out to him through the car window, "The original body of the boss is a Gazelle from Inner Mongolia. The two guys are jerboas. They're all honest."

Qin Mochi followed him out of the car, and looked curiously at the wooden plaque of the old inn, "Do you want to come here every day to patrol?"

Xia Zhifei nodded, "A place like this where monsters gather together, I have to come and have a look every day. When you meet new guests, check the 'residence certificate' by the way."

It feels so strange.Qin Mochi thought to himself, it's as if he was going to say his ID card and ended up saying it wrong.

The two walked into the inn one after the other.The internal structure of the inn is also completely old-fashioned wooden structure, because the wooden pillars have been cracked due to the age, and the paint on the stairs is still peeling off.But the overall look is still very neat and beautiful, with an indescribable antique taste.A deep and distant feeling of stepping into the river of time.

The thin and tall boss was taking two guys to do the cleaning, and when he saw them coming in, he quickly got up and greeted them.Probably because Qin Mochi's vicious beast aura was too strong, the herbivores were a little trembling.Xia Zhifei introduced them to each other.The name written on the "settlement certificate" of the innkeeper is: Huang Mongolia.Qin Mochi felt that the name was a bit of a mouthful, but the monsters obviously didn't care.On the contrary, I feel that the name is so clear at a glance, and there is no need to introduce the place of origin, it is very classy.

Xia Zhifei took Qin Mochi to check the "residence certificates" of the two sika deer ladies who just came to stay today, and checked the protective barrier arranged around the inn, then took a bag of cheese stuffed by Huang Mongolian for them, and walked around Da came out.

Qin Mochi is particularly disdainful of this point, thinking that Xia Zhifei has completely brought some bad habits of human law enforcement to the world of comprehension.Especially the one who accepts gifts is called a proficient, it is definitely not the first time this kind of thing has been done!

"Why do you still accept people's things?" Qin Mochi looked at him with disgust, "Isn't this against discipline?"

Xia Zhifei laughed, "Why are you so cute, little Momo? It's just a bag of cheese, and it was made by Huang Mengmeng himself. How much can you get? This is considered bribery? Isn't the requirement too strict? I I've known him for so long, so I can be considered a friend. Taking a bag of snacks from a friend's house is not a serious matter, is it?"

Qin Mochi looked at him contemptuously, "In this kind of thing, the only difference is whether to take or not to take. If you take more, take less, or take whatever, the nature is actually the same."

Xia Zhifei, "..."

I never knew Qin Mochi had such a sense of justice.

A shop opened next to "Old Fusheng", with a small frontage, thin bamboo curtains painted very cleanly on the windows, and flowerpots on the window sills.Looking in from the window, there are a row of glass counters along the wall in the store, and special brackets are also made on the walls, and some small and odd ornaments are placed on them.The decoration of the shop is simple, and there is a huge decorative painting on the wall facing the door. In the picture, several lynx cubs are playing in the mountains and forests. They are fluffy, like a group of lively and lovely cats.

Xia Zhifei pointed at the window of the small shop and said, "Hey, it's a new shop. The owner of the shop is the girl who is buying milk tea over there, the one in the pink fur vest."

Qin Mochi looked in the direction of his finger, and suddenly couldn't hold back his smile.He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and he was also an acquaintance of his "family". This feeling really has an indescribable... joy.

The girl in the pink fur vest took her drink from the window of the beverage shop, and when she turned her head to see Qin Mochi, she immediately showed a surprised and delighted expression.

"It's my lord," She Li saluted politely, like a well-behaved student who respects the teacher, "Long time no see, you look even more majestic."

Qin Mochi thought, she actually said that I smell more like a leopard...

Xia Zhifei looked at him curiously, "Know him?"

"Same family." Qin Mochi reminded him, "Forgot?"

Xia Zhifei suddenly realized, and was also happy, "It's amazing to open the store so quickly."

Miss Lynx blushed again, "It's all adults who helped, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make up enough money so quickly."

When Qin Mochi saw her, he thought of another thing.A few days ago, Yang Ke called him and asked him to go to Yangjiazhuang in Badaoling to see the stone materials. At that time, he was reminded to take the road behind the mountain because the nearby Badaoling Farm was undergoing expansion.Doesn't this girl's uncle work there?

"Hey, I happened to meet you," Qin Mochi hurriedly said, "Do you know about the expansion of Badaoling Farm?"

She Li nodded, "Brother Rong wants to repair the courtyard wall and gate again. There are some open spaces outside the original courtyard wall, and this time they are all enclosed. Well, it seems that the road from the bottom of the mountain also needs to be repaired."

Qin Mochi thought to himself that this project is quite big, "Is it finished?"

She Li shook his head, "I heard from my uncle that the project won't be completed until summer. What's the matter?"

Qin Mochi shook his head, "I'm going to Yangjiazhuang to do some errands, which is the small farm next door to yours. I heard that if you want to go up the mountain now, you have to take the road behind the mountain?"

"Yes." She Li showed an embarrassed expression, "I have caused you trouble."

"Don't be so polite," Qin Mochi felt overwhelmed when he heard her use honorific words, "It's just a detour, and there is no trouble. Do you need any help with business?"

She Li blushed and shook her head embarrassingly, "It's just opened now, and the business hasn't started yet. If you do high-end jewelry business in the future, you may need your advice."

"You're welcome." Qin Mochi was also at a loss, "It should."

Xia Zhifei stood aside and rolled his eyes, shouldn't he, they are all cats, they are also furry...

Xia Zhifei had a sudden thought, since Qin Mochi's body has completely contained the demon pill, will he also change into the original shape of a leopard one day?Hairy ears, hairy tail or something...

Qin Mochi exchanged a few words with Miss Lynx, and said goodbye politely. When he turned around and saw Xia Zhifei drooling, he frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Xia Zhifei sucked his saliva, "You... finished talking?"

"It's over." Qin Mochi waved his hand at Miss Lynx, and walked back together with him, "There's something I've been forgetting to ask you. I'm working as a temporary worker for you. What about the holidays? I can't give it to you seven days a week. Running errands?"

"Theoretically, you don't need to go to work." Xia Zhifei rubbed his chin, "The current situation is a bit special, aren't you trying to figure out the situation with me? When you get familiar with these things, you don't have to follow me every day gone."

Qin Mochi was immediately happy, "Then can I rest tomorrow?"

Xia Zhifei said: "Of course I can, what are you doing?"

"I'm going out of the city." Qin Mochi said, "Yang Ke has a batch of materials, let me go and have a look."

Xia Zhifei was a little worried, "Can you do it yourself? Why don't you delay for two days and go with you when I rest."

"No need." Qin Mochi rebuffed straight away, "I'm looking for Li Yedu. He works for his senior brother, and the time is looser. It is more convenient for you to ask for leave."

Xia Zhifei, "..."

What happened to the sudden sense of crisis?

"You really don't need me to follow?" Xia Zhifei looked at him uncertainly, "I think Li Yedu is quite busy too."

"No way," Qin Mochi looked at him in surprise, "I've been to their 'Yipintang'. It's a store selling antiques, and it's not Wal-Mart, so there won't be so many customers."

Xia Zhifei was a little worried, "Then what, I just think it's not relative, it's not good to bother people."

"You're worried about this," Qin Mochi laughed, "Didn't I tell you? Brother Li was my neighbor when I was young."

Xia Zhifei, "...I heard you say it, so I don't need to emphasize it."

Qin Mochi looked at him apologetically, "It was my neighbor when I was young, before I returned to Linhai. We lived in the mountains at that time, and he was the only child around my age. He has always taken care of me. Don't you feel relieved now? "

Xia Zhifei, "..."

Good heart plug.Actually, don't worry even more, okay?

"Then what," Xia Zhifei smiled dryly, "Even acquaintances should leave their private space."

Qin Mochi nodded obediently, "I know."

Xia Zhifei covered his chest and turned his head silently. He was not sure what he was worried about, but he felt uncomfortable when he saw Li Yedu.Could it be because Qin Mochi always called this guy his brother when he was a child?

If only I could find a way to separate the two of them.Xia Zhifei thought darkly, it feels too unsafe to get together!
