Strange Tale

three days.It has been three full days since Si Ren came to Lingcheng, and he has used all kinds of contact methods, not to mention the master, and he has not even met an old man who is similar to the master.

Xiao Lin lied to me?Si Ren sat in a teahouse and was deeply entangled: Should he leave Lingcheng and look elsewhere?But Master will definitely not go to Dushuo City now, and he probably won't be in Yan City either...then where else can I find it?It stands to reason that within a radius of a hundred miles, he must be able to sense it if he casts a spell and asks Master.If he is in Lingcheng, why does he ignore me?Hmm...surely still not...

"The two of you, please."

Si Ren's train of thought was interrupted by the boy in the teahouse, he raised his head: Long Jiu and Ye Chang were walking in through the door.

The two sat in front of Si Ren without hesitation.The little guy didn't know what was going on, so he scratched his head and followed with his mouth half open, "You two... this is..."

Si Ren waved his hand, "I know them, bring two more teacups over here."

"Oh, good!" The boy readily agreed, turned and left.

Si Ren stared at Long Jiu, "Didn't you say 'part ways'? Why did you still follow?"

Long Jiu reached out and took a sip from Si Ren's teacup, "That's what you said, and I didn't agree. Besides, we didn't come here with you."

Si Ren frowned.

"I want to see what your master Tianfeng is like. Xiaolin said that he is in Lingcheng, and I heard it very clearly, so we came here to look for him."

"Then you don't need to look for it..."

The boy brought the teacup over, and Si Ren poured tea for Yechang and himself, "I haven't been able to find him for three days, let alone you."

Long Jiu put the empty cup in front of Si Ren, "Maybe he will show up when he sees me coming?"

"what?"

"I'm a goblin, maybe he will come to catch me."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm the master..."

"Oh?! Children! You can't enter without an adult leading you..."

The boy's voice sounded again, and Si Ren and the others didn't look at it, but they soon heard footsteps coming towards them, and the three of them turned their heads to look in the direction of the door: only a ten-year-old man in a suit A green, shaven boy with only a tuft of hair in an upturned pigtail was walking towards their table.

"Children! Children..."

The little boy was chasing after the boy, and every time he reached out to catch him, he would suddenly quicken his pace at a speed that ordinary people couldn't see, avoiding the little boy's hand just in time.

The boy stood in front of Si Ren.The words in the boy's heart are already written on his face: I'm looking for you again?

"Are you Si Ren? Master told me to come to you." The boy had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a red mole between his brows, a clear voice, and a fairy air all over his body.

Is this... another new apprentice?Liu Chengfeng is outrageous enough, and now even children... the old and the young, the master is really not picky!

Si Ren slandered and nodded, "Yes, you are Master's new junior brother?"

"I am your elder brother."

"Pfft──" Ye often spouted half a mouthful of tea, "You don't know that there is such a 'powerful' 'big brother'?"

Si Ren glanced often, "My master has always done things casually, coming and going without a trace. Every time he sees me, he hardly talks about anything other than teaching spells, so I never know how many or what kind of apprentices he has taken. You don't need to know. But..."

Si Ren turned his gaze back, and looked at the boy again, "You are not lying to me, are you? Talking big is not a good boy. What evidence do you have to say that you are my elder brother?"

The boy showed a disdainful expression, "I don't have any credentials, believe it or not, it's up to you. But the master told me to help you get rid of the demon."

"Receive demons? What kind of demons are you accepting?"

The boy pointed at Long Jiu, "Master said you know it well."

With a bang, Si Ren stood up in a panic and bumped into the table, then looked around again, "Master knows my whereabouts?!"

"Don't look for it, Master doesn't want to see you now."

"Why don't you want to see me?!"

"He said you have a lot of things to ask him, but the answer lies in yourself."

"On myself?"

The boy reached into his clothes, fumbled and took out a letter, "Master gave it to you."

Si Ren took the letter, opened it, glanced at it hastily, and grabbed the letter into a ball again, "How is this possible?!"

"Master said you wouldn't believe it, that's why he sent me to help you get rid of the monster." The boy looked at Long Jiu again.

Si Ren was a little annoyed, "I don't need you to help me recruit some monsters! Why is Master willing to see me?"

The boy pointed at Long Jiu, "You take him in first, then Master himself will show up."

Si Ren looked at Long Jiu, Long Jiu got up and walked in front of him and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."

"what?"

"letter."

"That's a letter from my master."

"Can't I see it?"

Si Ren hesitated, and handed over the ball of paper in his hand.

After reading the letter, Long Jiu directly burned it.

"You..." The boy stomped his feet angrily, and jumped onto the table nimbly, "Monster! How dare you! How dare you burn my master's letter casually. I think you are impatient!"

Long Jiu picked up the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Hmph, originally you said you were Xiao Ren's big brother, and you wanted to show you some face and be polite. But you've been 'receiving demons' one by one, I want to see if you have any There is no way to accept me! Your master is talking nonsense in the letter, of course I will burn it!"

"My master will not just talk about it!"

"He said that Si Ren's parents are not actually his parents. What does he mean? He also said that if you don't deal with me quickly, he will regret it in the future. He didn't say clearly and refused to come forward in an open manner. Huh! I think it's just that. I want to use Si Ren's hand to get rid of me. Who the hell is he? Tell him to come out and find me directly, isn't he a master? Why are you so timid and shameless?!"

"Xiao Jiu!" Si Ren pulled Long Jiu hard, "Stop talking!"

"Master is indeed right!" The boy glanced at Si Ren, "This goblin has a bad temper and a bad appearance, but he is born with a lecherous nature and is the best at charming people's hearts. You are blindfolded and can't see how ugly his monster is. Something?!"

With a thud, the table under the boy's feet was on fire, Si Ren screamed and rushed over to try to put it out, but Long Jiu held him back several steps, "Huangkou kid! Let you talk nonsense again!"

The people in the teahouse fled in all directions in an instant, and all of them disappeared. Even the little guy who had been paying attention to their movements didn't know where to go now.

As a result, Si Ren and Long Jiu were still struggling. The boy surrounded by fire stretched out his hand and chanted some spell, and all the flames became weaker and weaker, and he took them into his hands. Finally, he took a look at Si Ren He Long Jiu blew out the fire in one go.

"Playing with fire with me? Humph! Just relying on you? It would be futile to practice for thousands of years!"

Long Jiu's eyes widened, letting go of Si Ren and taking a step forward, "Who the hell are you?!"

"I am 'Yellow Mouth Child', Vulcan Son."

"Son of Vulcan?" Long Jiu frowned and thought about it, "What's your relationship with Vulcan Uncle Yan?"

"If you can catch me, I will tell you three tricks!"

"Bah! Don't talk about three tricks, who would be afraid of you with thirty tricks?!"

"Long Jiu! Brother!" Si Ren jumped between the two, "You..."

"Go away!" Long Jiu and Huoshenzi said in unison and then jumped up at the same time.

"Dragon Nine! Dragon Nine!" Si Ren raised his head and shouted twice angrily, and then he was surprised to find that the roof of the teahouse suddenly disappeared miraculously.

"Xiao Ren!" Ye Chang called out in a low voice, but with a little panic.

Si Ren turned his gaze back to look at Ye Chang, and immediately understood his panic: the teahouse had disappeared, and several people—including the two above, had all been exposed in the wilderness.

Before Si Ren figured out what was going on, a burst of flames shot up from his head.The next moment the two fell from mid-air, and Long Jiu was actually caught by Vulcan with a fire net and couldn't move.

At this time, it was raining, but the fire net was not only not extinguished, but it seemed to be more and more prosperous.

Vulcan reached out his hand to catch a few drops of rainwater, licked it with his tongue, looked at Long Jiu and smiled, "It seems that you are really powerful, and you can invite water from all over the world at the same time. But, it's a pity that I'm not the true fire of Samadhi." It’s so simple, not to mention sea water from all over the world, even real water and jade dew can’t be destroyed.”

Si Ren was dumbfounded: Long Jiu is a master at manipulating water and fire, it seems that this senior brother is really not easy!

Yechang was also anxious, "Xiao Jiu was injured too badly in the fight with Feng Xi before, otherwise he wouldn't have been restrained so soon! No, he hasn't fully recovered yet, I have to save him!"

After finishing speaking, he often rushed towards Huoshenzi.

"Also!" Long Jiu shouted, "Don't move!"

And often stop, "But..."

"He is very powerful! You are far from his opponent!"

"Brother---" Si Ren knelt down, "Let him go first, we have something to talk about!"

"Are you still obsessed with your obsession?!" Vulcan raised his brows upside down and completely lost the appearance of a child. He grabbed the air with his hand, and the fire net was narrowed down.

"Brother!"

"If you want to see Master, use your housekeeping skills to accept this evildoer!"

Si Ren gritted his teeth and stood up, "Okay, I'll accept...Xiao Jiu, don't blame me..."

Before he finished speaking, Si Ren turned around, and a cold light in his hand flew straight towards Vulcan.

At the critical moment, the jade piece thrown by Si Ren fell halfway, and the fire net on Long Jiu's body extinguished by itself and disappeared.The rain stopped, the sun came out, and the surrounding scenery changed several times. In a blink of an eye, there was no trace of vegetation, trees, mountains and rocks. Si Ren found that they were already outside the gate of Lingcheng. sound.

"Jiu Ying, the person you have worked so hard to find is standing in front of you now."
