Strange Tale

Following Yu Yu's guidance, Si Ren quickly found Jin Ji.It turned out that she had been in the city all along, and her hiding place was not too far from the General's Mansion.

It was an abandoned wine cellar that had been abandoned for many years.The owner of the wine cellar was a tavern owner before his life, and he offended someone and his family died and his door was wiped out.Not long after the accident, someone said they saw their family going in and out of the house in the middle of the night.Later, someone said that the tavern would sometimes continue to open for business at night, and some past merchants who didn't know the truth went in and drank and never came out again.

In the end, gradually, no one dared to get close to the weeds in the house or the tavern, and no one cared about the deep underground wine cellar.

Of course goblins are not afraid of these legends.Si Ren is not afraid either.He didn't know until he arrived that the abandoned tavern and house had actually been occupied by goblins long ago.When Si Ren walked into the yard, they were gathering in groups of three and four drinking together inside and outside the house, and some of them had dealt with him before.Si Ren finally understood how those rumors came about.

And obviously Jin Ji had confessed in advance, Si Ren's arrival did not cause any commotion, most of the monsters just looked at Si Ren and then turned back to drink their own wine...

It seems that they were the ones who fought against the dead people controlled by Dudu Wan by the Cuiyu River a few days ago.It seems that Jin Ji still has some skills, and it is not easy to make so many monsters listen to her and fight against Long Jiu.Si Bian thought to himself, on the surface he walked past a group of monsters calmly and calmly, but in fact, every muscle on his body was tense and he was paying close attention to every monster's move, for fear that he might accidentally stimulate them It will cause them to join forces to besiege him.After all, mages and monsters are supposed to be incompatible.

When Si Ren followed Yu down to the cellar, Jin Ji was leaning on a bed that appeared in the cellar for some reason, drinking.Next to it lay the unicorn, which seemed to be asleep.

"Xiao Lin!" Si Ren was about to rush over.

Jinji's long nails reached Qilin's neck, "Where is the thing I want?"

Si Ren threw the cloth bag containing the paper figurine to her, and she opened it to take a look, with a smile on her face, "As expected of Mr. Si, you can easily catch him in the heavily guarded General's Mansion!"

"Can I take Xiaolin away?"

"of course."

Si Ren went to the bedside and called twice, but Qilin closed his eyes tightly and did not respond.

"What's up with him?"

Jin Ji shook the wine glass in her hand, "Drunk."

"How can you give him a drink? He's a kid."

Jin Ji smiled, "You are the only one who treats him as a child, right? At his age, it's enough to break you a few times."

Si Ren didn't answer Jin Ji's words, and lowered his head to shake the unicorn again, "Xiao Lin! Wake up, hurry up! Go home!"

"Don't waste your energy." Jin Ji interrupted him.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say..."

"I put something in his drink."

"You..." Si Ren grabbed Jin Ji's arm.

"Don't worry—" Jin Ji leaned towards him with a long voice and grinning, "It's just something that can make him sleep well. He will wake up tomorrow morning."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Where would you dare?"

Si Ren lifted Qilin's eyelids to look at him and felt his pulse, it seemed that there was nothing serious.

"Didn't you promise that if I stole something for you, you would not only guarantee that Xiao Lin would be unharmed, but also answer any three questions of mine?"

"Well, please ask, sir."

"[-]. How did you catch Xiao Lin? [-]. Why did you have to steal these paper figurines? [-]. Why is Long Jiu not afraid of anything but the divine dagger?"

"Hehe..." Jin Ji covered her mouth and smiled, "That's all? I thought you wanted to know some difficult questions that I couldn't answer. It's very simple, I'll tell you now, that day..."

"Hey, is this a family of three running here to live?" Long Jiu's voice suddenly sounded.

Si Ren raised his head, and Long Jiu slowly walked down the steps leading in and out of the cellar.

Jin Ji didn't seem to expect him to appear, she sat up straight, "How did you find it?!"

Long Jiu took out the feather and blew it lightly, "What do you think?"

Jin Ji watched the feathers spiral and fall, and suddenly Liu Mei stretched out her hand towards the unicorn.But Si Ren was already prepared, first she picked up Qilin and rolled it under the bed.

Jin Ji also jumped to the ground, "Come on!"

Two black shadows came in from outside the door, Jin Ji was just about to be proud, but found that the two monsters were thrown down the steps.They fell to the ground and rolled around a few times before not moving.Si Ren and Jin Ji looked over carefully, only to find that the two monsters were bleeding to death from their seven orifices.

He often walked down the steps with the blood spattered on his face.It was rare for him to wear casual clothes without a cloak, with the placket pinned to his waist, and there were a lot of bloodstains on it, it looked like he had just committed a massacre.

"You..." Jin Ji stared at Long Jiu and Ye Chang with wide eyes.

Looking at her terrified look, Long Jiu smiled, "It was you who came to provoke me again and again."

Jin Ji tightly hugged the cloth bag Si Ren gave her, "Mr. Si, help me."

"You kidnapped Xiaolin and asked me to go to the general's mansion to steal things for you. Why should I help you?"

"Hmph!" Jin Ji sneered, "Abduction? Don't you just want to know where I found him?"

"where?"

"General's Mansion."

Si Ren turned his head to look at Long Jiu, who was looking at Jin Ji.

Jin Ji squinted her eyes and looked at Long Jiu fiercely, "It was the day I went to look for you. I sneaked into the general's mansion. I originally planned to find the paper man who controls the living soul, but after looking for it, the paper man failed. I found it, but I found Qilin in a room. Because I went to the Buji Pavilion after you took Long Jiu away in Jicuitan, and felt that there was a monster. So when I saw the weasel, I knew it was him. That's why I thought of taking him away to blackmail you."

"Is what she said true?" Si Ren asked Long Jiu.

"Qilin stayed with me for a few days. But what happened specifically, you'd better wait for Qilin to wake up and ask him yourself, don't just listen to what this woman says."

"Then let's say..." Si Ren's face was a bit ugly, "When you accompanied me to find Xiao Lin, he was in your mansion?"

"Yes, but I intend to..."

"Then you still pretend to follow me to the public security station to report the crime?!"

Knowing Si Ren has not been in contact with him until now, and I was really angry when I saw him for the first time.Long Jiu knew he was wrong and stopped arguing.

Jin Ji said in a puzzled way: "Also, sir, didn't you ask me why I stole these paper figurines? Because Da En's living soul was also captured by that old witch! How can I bear to see his soul after his tragic death?" Do you still want to be enslaved and not be reincarnated?!"

As she said that, Jin Ji's eyes turned red and she cried.

Si Ren, Long Jiu and Chang also couldn't help being surprised for a moment.

"You... actually did it for City Lord Shi?" Si Ren couldn't believe it, "I thought you were..."

"What is it?"

"It's nothing."

"A watery woman?"

Jin Ji spoke out what the other three present shared.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Jin Ji sneered, "Yes, I admit it. I can't even count the men I've been with until now. However, I will always remember the kindness to me, and as long as the man is still alive I will never leave, and I will definitely avenge him when I was killed. Da En is really good to me, better than all other men. I thought I could kill Long Jiu to avenge him, but now it seems I can't protect myself, and revenge seems impossible. So, at least before I die, I have to see that Da En's soul can be free again, so that if I can be reborn as a human being in the next life, I can continue to repay his love with him Kindness."

Papa──Long Jiu slapped his hands twice with a smile, "It's so wonderful, so touching! But... I don't understand why you want to save Shi Da'en's soul, why did you steal those paper figurines?"

"I want you to stop harming others, I want to destroy these paper figurines! Let those living and dead souls go where they should go, and will no longer be enslaved by you!"

"How do you plan to destroy it?"

"Burn it."

"What if it can't be burned?"

"Then...splash the boy's urine and black dog's blood, there is always a way to break the spell!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Long Jiu let out a unique strange smile again, and Si Ren knew that nothing good would happen to him after he laughed like this.

Sure enough, the next moment, Long Jiu let out a fire and directly burned the cloth bag in Jin Ji's hand. Both Jin Ji and Si Ren were startled, and then Jin Ji let go of the bag and dropped it to the ground. The time he picked up the bag, Long Jiu had already jumped behind her and grabbed her neck.

"Stupid woman, if these paper figurines can be destroyed by the methods you mentioned, will I let them be stolen so easily?"

"What did you say?!" Jin Ji didn't dare to move anymore, but her tone of voice was still unrestrained.

Long Jiu pressed his face to her ear, "Okay, since you are so interested in living souls, then I will tell you about the sorcery of harvesting life, and you will know after listening to it, what exactly did you do?" What a stupid thing."
