Third watch

Wang Xiaoming is gone.

After Zhong Yi and Lu Xiaolu turned back, they almost raked the short ghost market back and forth two or three times, but they still couldn't see their eyes.

Seeing that it was about to dawn, the two had to return to the pier.

"What should I do?" Lu Xiaolu stood on the pier and looked down. Although it was not yet dawn, the fog under the pier had gradually faded.

He somewhat blamed himself, if he hadn't seen the cloaked man, he and Zhong Yi would not have followed, and Wang Xiaoming would not have left alone.

They should have been more cautious.

Knowing that Wang Xiaoming's current situation is special, he still walked away from him carelessly.

What if Wang Xiaoming is lost?

where to find him,

Lu Xiaolu grew up so big, he had never been so at a loss—the arrival of Zhong Yi seemed to bring him and Wang Xiaoming to a strange world that he had never seen before, and in this range, he was almost blinded.

The only thing he could count on was Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi's face is definitely not good-looking.

It is not the first time that Wang Xiaoming has caused problems under his nose because of carelessness.

Although Wang Xiaoming never asked Zhong Yi to protect him, Zhong Yi is by no means an approachable type. If he didn't treat Wang Xiaoming differently, how could he be careful all the way?

Because of the disparity in strength at the beginning, Zhong Yi classified Wang Xiaoming into a weak team that could not protect himself, and by the way, he and Lu Xiaolu were dragged under his own protection.

Until Wang Xiaoming followed him to eliminate evil spirits and fight ghosts, and gradually grew up, and finally the power of the celestial master first appeared, this idea did not change.

Wang Xiaoming always said that Zhong Yi was arrogant, because Zhong Yi believed that he had the capital to be arrogant.

But after coming to Guangxi, he was tricked one after another, and they all went directly to Wang Xiaoming over Zhong Yi, which not only made Zhong Yi feel that he was seriously provoked, but also had an unknown fire in his heart. The more he tried to restrain himself, the more he burned prosperous.

"...Go back." Zhong Yi said.

Without further ado, Lu Xiaolu followed Zhong Yi back to the guest house and asked, "Is there any way for Lu Banshu to find someone?"

After staying with Zhong Yi for a long time, Lu Xiaolu became more and more aware of the mysteries and strangeness of Taoism and secret arts, which are all-encompassing and full of wonders.

Sure enough, Zhong Yi nodded with a straight face: "Yes."

Lu Xiaolu immediately said: "What are you going to buy? I'm afraid it's a bit early now, it's not yet dawn."

Now Lu Xiaolu has more or less grasped Zhong Yi's behavior pattern. No matter what mechanism or utensils are to be arranged, Zhong Yi usually uses local materials, and the materials are prepared first before starting work.

Not to mention the Luban technique, most of the general folk secret arts also need some props - such as crystal maps, or water basin scissors...

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yi shook his head this time: "No need to buy it."

Lu Banmen has a lot of secret techniques. Although there are no prophets or prophecies, they also have their own research on finding people and acupuncture points.

Compared with Maoshan Taoism, Luban technique is summed up by ancestors based on the encyclopedia of life, which is more down-to-earth, and of course it involves a little bit of everything.

But dabbling does not mean proficiency.

The Luban technique can radiate a wide range in life. If the effect is against the sky, there is no need for other secret techniques in the world.

The organization specialized in Lubanshu, Maoshan Subduing Demons, and other factions that are good at medicine, poison, language, and curse can explain the problem.

Luban technique is inherently too restrictive.Wang Xiaoming disappeared in the ghost market. Luban technique pays attention to the right time and place. If Zhong Yi wants to find him, he has to wait to return to the situation at that time - the fastest night market is tonight.

Zhong Yi can wait, but Wang Xiaoming can't.

Zhong Yi felt annoyed when he thought that although Wang Xiaoming got the Pixiu Eye, he was no longer a Squib, but he was a novice after all, and his chanting of mantras was not easy.

What kind of boss is this? He doesn't get much salary, and he's being plotted against every now and then, even if he's tied up with a chain, it doesn't work.

The bell that Wang Xiaoming resisted was actually made by Zhong Yi by referring to the principle of the pigeon whistle, and it can only be used in a small area like the ghost market. There is also a high possibility of Wuxi being taken away.

It seems that next time we have to get a stronger positioning system.

"Then what should we do?" Lu Xiaolu asked.

Zhong Yi sneered.

Master Bai is a very particular and respectable cat.

Even when he was running around with Zhong Yi, Master Bai's requirements for the quality of life never dropped. He never accepted being hungry, dirty and staying up late.

So when the little white dog next to it pricked up its ears, turned over tremblingly, and slowly crawled away from it, Lord Bai didn't notice it, and was still sleeping soundly.

After all, it is not yet daylight.

The little white dog crawled from the head of the bed to the bed, turned over and sat up, facing the door, quietly drooping its tail and ears.

After another ten minutes, there was finally movement at the door.

The little white dog flicked its tail.

After Zhong Yi and Lu Xiaolu entered, they met its round eyes.

"Wang Xiaoming is lost." Zhong Yi didn't even turn on the light, and said this to the little white dog right away.

The little white dog tilted his head.

Lu Xiaolu: "..."

Zhong Yi stared at the little white dog and repeated it again.

Lu Xiaolu looked at the innocent look of the little white dog, and then at Zhong Yi, wondering if his master was also bewitched.

Could it be that Zhong Yi is also an omnipotent physique, and was taken away by someone in the ghost market just now?

Zhong Yi didn't care what Lu Xiaolu was thinking, and started talking to himself.

"Since you are willing to come out with us, you must know everything." Zhong Yi said: "Let's not mention anything else now, I want to ask the adults to borrow some magical powers."

The little white dog flicked his tail again.

"It doesn't matter if you refuse." Zhong Yi said again: "Since we can't rely on each other, then we can't let the shops in the ghost market panic and invite you back, so that some people who don't know where to go can relax. some."

Just when Lu Xiaolu wondered if Zhong Yi was really crazy, a chuckle suddenly sounded in the room.

"Lu Banmen has always been the most god-respecting, why are the juniors becoming more and more impolite?"

Zhong Yi kept a straight face and said nothing.

For the first time in Lu Xiaolu's life, he saw a scene that made his jaw drop——

It has become a living person.

The little white dog who was originally sitting staggered and stood up, and suddenly became a person!

A man in a white gown was half-floating in the room, as if there was an invisible chair supporting him under him, his brows were handsome and gentle, and he looked relaxed and refined.

"You..." Lu Xiaolu saw the divine beast for the first time, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"This is Truth Listening." Zhong Yi introduced with a cold face.

Di Ting smiled slightly, although it didn't have a soft light background like Pixiu, but the whole room seemed to suddenly become untouched by the mortal world, looking like an exiled fairy.

Zhong Yi: "..."

If Pixiu hadn't said in advance that this guy had been squatting in the ghost market for many years, he might have really been deceived by Di Ting's pretending mode.

"Aren't you dead!" Lu Xiaolu thought of this first.

Di Ting smiled at him reservedly, her demeanor was very dusty, but her words were not so elegant.

"I'm the only spirit beast in the world, how could I die in the attic like a mouse." Hearing.

"The act of pretending to be dead is not much nobler than that of a mouse." Zhong Yi said.

Lu Xiaolu was confused.

"Pretend to be dead?"

Di Ting smiled: "What's wrong with Wang Xiaoming?"

Zhong Yi skipped Di Ting's tone that sounded very familiar to them, and got straight to the point: "He is lost, please listen to where he was abducted."

"I'll just listen to it? It would be convenient if everything was so easy." Di heard: "Gods also have troubles, and I'm not omnipotent."

"Find it yourself." Di heard.

Zhong Yi frowned.

"Stretch out your hand." Di heard.

Zhong Yi looked at him.

"Although I borrowed you to get away, it's not just in your hands." Di Ting said casually: "This is a loan from you. When I think about it later, I have to pay it back."

Zhong Yi knew that Di Ting was willing to help.

Although the price is to promise a favor——

Beasts are different from humans.

Although they are not as cunning as ghosts and monsters, mythical beasts and humans are not allies.

Even many divine beasts are driven by human surrender, and many human beings are obsessed with the power of divine beasts and lose their lives.

Especially this kind of vague favor, the price can be great or small.

Zhong Yi stretched out his hand very simply.

Di Ting looked at him more, and then put a small paper bag in his palm: "Put this on Wang Xiaoming's things to incubate, it can take you there."

"Hatch—?" Lu Xiaolu looked at the paper bag in Zhong Yi's hand.

This looks very similar to the paper medicine packs that Lu Xiaolu used when he went to the hospital when he was a child, only folded smaller.

"Don't use too much force, the temperature of the palm will make it hatch in advance." Di Ting retracted his hand: "Lay out Wang Xiaoming's things, open them up, cover them with your hands to hatch, and then follow along."

After speaking, Truth Listening in mid-air turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

The little white dog lay back on the bed sheet again, and crawled towards the pillow next to Lord Bai, with its little buttocks arched and arched, with an innocent and hardworking appearance, unlike the pretentious one just now.

The tip of Wang Xiaoming's nose was itchy, and he couldn't help sneezing.

As a result, I woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was startled by the enlarged cockroach in front of him.

"Bah, bah, bah!" The hairs all over Wang Xiaoming's body stood on end, trying to get up, but found that he was tied up like a rice dumpling.

The cockroach slowly crawled past him leisurely, with two graceful tentacles.

Wang Xiaoming was so disgusted that he moved back, but as soon as he moved, he hit the wall.

……Um?

wall?

Wang Xiaoming was dazed and looked around.

He was thrown in an empty room with white walls on all sides and only an old rusty iron door. Some woven bags and wooden farm tools were scattered on the ground. They all looked old and breathed a little. From a cloud of ashes.

And he, Wang Xiaoming, was lying in the middle of the room with his hands and feet bound and unable to move.

shit.

He remembered.

It is Gu Bicai.

He didn't even see clearly what was in the old man's bag, and he fainted as soon as he got close.

Is there anyone more unlucky than him?

Into the ghost city twice!Count twice!

Even Lu Xiaolu didn't get the trick, why should he come after him?

Does he have a face that is easy to plot?

Wang Xiaoming thought angrily, and slowly turned his wrist, trying to figure out the knot on his hand, while observing the situation.

Although he is tied like a caterpillar, the caterpillar can also move.

For some reason, Gu Bicai did not appear, so Wang Xiaoming was able to move slowly, and it took him a long time to sit up against the wall.

The knot in the hand is extremely tight, a double-button copper coin knot.

This kind of knot is an exorcism knot created by the folks in the past. In the past, there were many tombs in the mountains. Many mountain people worked during the day, and at night they took a pick to dig ancient tombs to find treasures. Go to the tomb robbery, because most of those tombs are old, and the mountain people are uneducated and don't know the historical value of the ancient tombs, so they all regard this as an income-generating activity.

When looking for treasures in the yin house, there is always a ghost. After all, there is a gap between farmers and professional tomb robbers. Farmers often go to the tomb in the middle of the night and encounter fraudulent corpses, and are strangled to death in the tomb.

Therefore, the unprofessional working people combined the local methods of warding off evil spirits and invented a very professional knot for tying zombies. Because zombies are often powerful, it must be a firm dead knot, and it must be woven into the knot. Put in two ancient coins, one to ward off evil spirits and the other to appease. This kind of knot is so tight that even a zombie that has mutated into an Ultraman can't break it.

When Wang Xiaoming was young, Wang Dazhuang once took two copper coins to weave this knot and used it as a toy to amuse him. Wang Xiaoming still remembered that he had been thinking about it for half a month, but he still didn't untie the knot.

So although his hands were tied behind his back and he couldn't see them, and there were no copper coins braided on them, he could tell them immediately when he touched them behind his back.

But how did Gu Bicai do this?Is that old man still a burrowing rat?
