Strange Tale

"The art of flattery? What do you mean?" Lu Xian still didn't understand.

Si Ren looked at the people present, "The so-called flattery is also called the art of love. Simply put, it is some sorcery about the relationship between men and women."

Many people started whispering, and Lu Xian asked again, "Why did Mr. Si say that?"

"There is a school in the art of making love, which uses extreme means to harm boys and adult men who have never had sex with men and women to achieve sorcery. I think it is in line with what Master Lu said just now."

"Extreme means? Do you mean...like Ji Shuangqi?"

"This... I have limited understanding of those harmful spells, and I don't know exactly how to implement them. But I thought of a way to track down the case."

"any solution?"

Si Ren glanced around, "The less people know about it, the better."

Lu Xian brought Si Ren, Long Jiu, Ye Chang and He Ziming to the side hall.

After coming out of the public office, it was almost dark.

Huan'er was having fun with Xu Hai, when she saw Si Ren, she jumped out of the car and rushed over to throw himself into Si Ren's arms.

"Brother Xiao Hai is all right, I will play with him in the future."

"Is that so?" Si Ren took off the half-grain sugar rice flower sticking to her mouth, "Is it because someone bought you something to eat?"

"Well, the sugar rice flower is really delicious."

"Didn't I tell you not to ask for things from others?"

"I didn't ask for it, Brother Xiaohai bought it for me."

"That can't be taken casually."

"Why?"

Si Ren hugged Huan'er and got into the car, "After you ask for it once, people will have to buy it for you often. This is not good, and it will cause a burden to others."

"As for being so strict?" Long Jiu also got into the car, "Do you really raise this child as your own daughter?"

"I'm doing it for her own good, or in the future..."

"What will she do..."

"Stop talking, I know."

All the way without words.Si Ren, Long Jiu, and each other often think about their own problems.Xu Hai drove seriously.Huan'er was so tired after playing all afternoon, she lay in Si Ren's arms and quickly fell asleep with the bumps and shakes of the car.

The car stopped in front of Buji Pavilion, Si Ren got out of the car with Huan'er in his arms, Long Jiu opened the window and called him to stop.

"Si Ren."

"Ok?"

"We'll come and see you after dinner."

"it is good."

"and also."

"what?"

Long Jiu touched Huan'er's fleshy little hand hanging from the gap between Si Ren's arm and chest with his fingertips, "Some things that you know will not have results, don't pour too much emotion into them. Huan'er will sooner or later Is to..."

"I know." Si Ren turned and walked towards Buji Pavilion.

The car behind him drives away.Si Ren held Huan'er in his arms and stood in front of the door for a while: By the way, we should go and fetch Xiao Lin first.

The main hall of the church was empty.Pass through the side porch and enter the back garden.

"Father Martin?" Si Ren stood in front of the door of the priest's room and knocked.

The door was opened, and it was a nun who had met, but Si Ren didn't know her name.

"Oh, hello. Is Xiaolin here?"

The nun took a step back and stood aside. There were many people sitting in the room, most of them nuns and believers.Qilin was sitting in the arms of the youngest and most beautiful nun among them.Everyone's expressions were very serious, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

Si Ren turned his neck and nodded his head with a smile as a greeting, "Okay, Xiao Lin, let's go home."

"Why did you come back?" Qilin stood on the ground.

"Something happened on the road, I'll tell you when I go back." Si Ren raised his foot to leave.

Qilin stretched out his hand to grab his skirt, "Wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"Don't you think anyone is missing?"

Si Ren's neck turned around again, "Who?"

"Father Martin."

"Isn't the priest occasionally leaving for something?"

"He hasn't seen him for three days."

Back at Buji Pavilion, Si Ren told Qilin about meeting Long Jiu and going to the House of Internal Affairs.

Qilin opened his mouth wide, "So...Father Martin may also be related to this case of missing persons?"

"Well." Si Ren nodded, "From the characteristics, he must be in line. Although he has never been to a brothel, it is common knowledge that priests cannot get married."

"What now?"

"We have already discussed it in the Ministry of Internal Affairs: This matter must not be done by one or two people. In addition, ordinary adult men can't tell whether they are virgins from their appearance, but generally people who go to a brothel for the first time are quite likely. Most of them will be spotted. Because no matter how well you cover up the surface, you can’t hide it from those experienced prostitutes when you go to bed. That’s why so many people disappear in the brothel. Those villains must have bought the brothel secretly. We say Well, after dinner, Long Jiuhe would often come to see me, and we would go to the brothel that Ji Shuangqi had visited at that time. Then I would be the bait, once they took the bait and took me away, Long Jiuhe would often come to see me. Just secretly follow and leave marks along the way, so that Lu Xian and He Ziming will lead people to follow the marks to find us. As long as everything goes well, we should be able to find the lair of those bastards and wipe them out."

After listening to Si Ren's words, Qilin frowned and thought for a while, "Why are you the bait?"

"Because Lu Xian and He Ziming are from the government, they can't show up in the brothel, they will be discovered."

"What about Long Jiu and Ye Chang?"

"I often married wives, and even had children. Although it was a long time ago, it is still a long time ago, but it still can't be said that there is no relationship between men and women. As for Long Jiu, there is no need to talk about the physical body. Light Looking at himself, a goblin who has lived for thousands of years is even more unbelievable. So in the end we discussed and decided: just to be on the safe side, it's better for me to be the bait."

Qilin looked at Si Ren who seemed a little smug and excited for some reason, "What do you mean: You admitted in public that you have lived so long that you have never touched a woman?"

"you can say it this way."

"Isn't it embarrassing?"

"It's a small thing to lose face, but it's a big thing to save people."

"Forget it! Tell me, how much reward did Lu Xian promise to give?"

"It's the same as what Long Jiu gave before."

Huan'er slept soundly, and Si Ban didn't ask Qilin to call her when she was eating, because she was afraid that she would wake up and know that Si Ban would leave and would make trouble, so she wanted to follow.

Long Jiuhe often came soon after dinner, and Si Ren first talked about Father Martin.

Long Jiu snorted, "These people really aren't picky eaters."

When they were about to leave, Qilin said that he would follow, and Si Ren asked him to stay and watch Huaner.

Qilin refused, "Send her to Xuanhu to live. Besides, who would do anything to a female ghost even if she was at home by herself?"

"No." Si Ren still refused, "I'm going to a brothel, that's not where children should go."

"I'm not a child!"

He often touches his chin, "I think it's okay to let him go... Pretending to be a lost child and walking on the street, maybe it's easier to attract people."

"No." Si Ren still insisted, "The way of flattery is sorcery, and the other party is definitely not an ordinary quack warlock. If Xiaolin is not a human being, he probably won't be arrested. Even if you want to be a transvestite, if you catch him, there must be a way to be sure. It's not what they want."

Also often stunned, "Is there anything he doesn't conform to?"

Qilin spoke by himself, "I am a yellow fairy who has cultivated for more than 500 years. Before I became a spirit, I also had normal needs. Is it amazing that you have married a wife and given birth to children? I have given birth to several litters."

Long Jiuhe often looked at Si Ren together, "Then you still call him a child?!"

In the end, Si Ren still didn't let Qilin follow.

The door was closed, and Qilin angrily kicked down the stool.Huan'er was woken up and cried in the back room.

Qilin climbed onto the bed and patted Huan'er gently, "Don't cry, Huan'er is good, don't cry. Go on to sleep."

"Xiao Ren, Brother Nine Heads, Uncle! Don't go away── woo woo woo..." Huan'er cried and sat up.

"Huh? Did you know that Long Jiuhe often came here?"

"Uuuuuuuu...don't go..."

Qilin was a little strange, "Why don't you go? Do you know where they are going? They won't tell you this kind of thing, right?"

Huan'er cried tears and blushed, she grabbed Qilin's hand, "Ahhh...Xiao Lin, hurry up and save Xiaoren... Hurry up! Woohhhh..."
