Pheasant Essence Becoming a Big Monster - The Millennium Itch

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Zhaoji didn't arrive, so he called first.

"Brother, can we talk outside? 』

Gu Tailai was putting Ji Xiaocai's washed bowls into the cupboard, looked back at Ji Xiaocai, pointed to the living room and said, "Your appointment is at home."

Zhou Zhaoji smiled wryly: "Brother, I really don't want to meet him face to face, so please spare me for a while." 』

Gu Tailai took Ji Xiaocaisheng's sweet soup, went out, and asked, "What the hell are you two doing?"

Zhou Zhaoji sighed leisurely on the other end of the phone: "Brother, it's hard to say!" 』

Gu Tailai said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, come up, the eldest brother is not here, I only give you one chance, tell me the truth about Zhu Yunyan and yourself!" After finishing speaking, he hung up Within a minute of the phone call, the doorbell rang.Ji Xiaocai ran to the door to open it, and she saw Zhou Zhaoji standing at the door with a sad face. It seemed that he was downstairs when she made the phone call.

"Senior brother, your eyes are really sharp!" Even this dog-legged look still has a bit of a shadow of the past, but even if it is such a joke, it is not as exciting as it used to be when it is said from the mouth of a pale man. People are angry and funny.Ji Xiaocai felt that the guess in the afternoon was correct, something must have happened to Zhou Zhaoji.

Of course Gu Tailai also noticed this, and beckoned to Zhou Zhaoji: "Come here."

Zhou Zhaoji looked left and right slowly, as if to confirm whether Ji Lanye was in the house, and after finding out that he was indeed nowhere to be found, he seemed relieved, but there was also a slightly disappointed expression on his face.Just like that, Ji Xiaocai didn't believe that there were talented people outside to break up!

Gu Tailai saw that his junior brother, a living treasure, was standing far away, as if a mouse had seen a cat, and it was neat and tidy, with one hand pointing and closing, the wind rose on the ground, and Zhou Zhaoji was dragged by an invisible force, rushing all the way. He stopped the car when he came to Gu Tailai, and he pushed him in the chest again, and fell heavily on the chair.

"Ouch, senior brother, can you stop being so rude to me, my small body can't stand it now." Zhou Zhaoji exclaimed exaggeratedly, getting up from the chair.

But Zhou Zhaoji was right.

Thousands of years ago, in order to save Ji Lanye, he exchanged the souls of two people at the critical moment of life and death. The three souls and seven souls were almost scattered by the emperor Changyuan. Recovered a life, but also fell into a deep sleep for two full years. During this period, Ji Xiaocai relied on the celestial grass Nine Hearts that Ji Xiaocai picked from Kunlun Mountain to continue her life. Although she came back to life, the celestial root was broken, and she became a half-ghost, half-human The presence.Now after thousands of years of cultivation, his body has recovered half of his body, but his strength is still a bit lower than when he was a fairy, but with Zhou Zhaoji's mind, his cultivation is more than enough to walk in the world.

Of course Gu Tailai knew this, so he was sympathetic before making the move, but Zhou Zhaoji looked really weak today.Gu Tailai couldn't help but look carefully, but he became suspicious when he saw it, he stretched out his hand to touch his celestial spirit cover, as expected, before he touched his palm, he felt a wave of Daoist energy lingering and shuttling at his Baihui acupoint, resulting in A barrier appeared, as if to cover up something.

Realizing that Gu Tailai saw through his little trick, Zhou Zhaoji changed his face, waved Gu Tailai's hand away, stepped back a few steps, sneered, but looked very guarded, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you Now that you have a family, don’t you even want to tease me, my junior brother?”

"What happened to you?" Gu Tailai ignored Zhou Zhaoji's joke at all, "What did you get caught up in? A ghost? A demon?"

Zhou Zhaoji deliberately concealed it, just smiled and said: "Brother, you also know my skills, although it is not as good as you and the little rookie now, I am afraid that ghosts and ghosts will not be able to pester me, right?"

Gu Tailai looked at him, knowing that Zhou Zhaoji was unwilling to speak, and it might be useless to force him to ask.Thinking about it, he withdrew his hand, changed direction and asked, "What did Zhu Yunyan entrust you to investigate?"

Only then did Zhou Zhaoji relax a bit, stretched out his finger, and took the only bowl of sweet soup on the table to drink, and said while drinking, "Brother, my client's business is personal privacy, you know our business As a rule, irrelevant people must never disclose customer information.”

Gu Tailai gave him a cold look, his eyes were as sharp as knives, cold and icy, Zhou Zhaoji lowered his head and drank the soup, but still felt goosebumps all over his body, and after a while he said vaguely: "Actually, it's nothing, just check her It’s about my husband’s cheating.”

Wang Shijun really has a lover!

"Have you found Wang Shijun's lover?"

Zhou Zhaoji was surprised this time, after thinking about it, he understood.

"The person who came with you this afternoon is a... demon from City H?" He tried hard to recall the person he met in the afternoon. When he saw Gu Tailai and Ji Xiaocai, he wanted to run away, but he forgot to pay attention to the first one. three people.

"His name is Zhong Yeqing. He is the leader of the monsters in City H. He followed Zhu Yunyan to this city to investigate the bizarre deaths of Wang Shijun and the other five victims."

"Other dead?"

Zhou Zhaoji didn't seem to know about the deaths of Li Guangxia and the other five, which is not surprising. If he had only accepted Zhu Yunyan's commission to investigate her husband's infidelity, he would naturally not expand the scope of the investigation to other places, even if he had already discovered There is something strange about Wang Shijun's coma.

At that moment, Gu Tailai recounted to Zhou Zhaoji what Zhong Yeqing had said about the death of the five deceased and Li Guangxia's wife's loss of memory of the necklace after Li Guangxia's death.

As Zhou Zhaoji listened, he buried his head even lower. He had obviously scooped up all the ingredients in the sweet soup, and he was still scratching it with a spoon, as if he was thinking about something.

"So, this time things are very difficult." Gu Tailai concluded.Seeing Zhou Zhaoji like this, he knew that besides being surprised by his words, he also seemed to confirm something.After all, they have been brothers for many years and grew up together, so he knows Zhou Zhaoji's character well.Although this person is not serious on the surface, he actually thinks carefully before doing everything. Now he suspects that Zhou Zhaoji's behavior like this and his quarrel with Ji Lanye may have something to do with Wang Shijun's matter.

"Zhou Zhaoji, originally I didn't intend to take care of this matter, but I will definitely not stand idly by when it affects my family."

Zhou Zhaoji suddenly raised his head, opened his mouth for a long time, and finally spit out the words: "Brother, you are so nasty!"

Gu Tailai slapped the table, making Zhou Zhaoji jump in fright, before he honestly said: "It's really nothing, why don't you just find someone? It's just that I have too little evidence and I'm not sure yet. It’s better not to bother you, senior brother, to make a move.”

Gu Tailai said in a deep voice: "You still want to hide it from me?" He grabbed Zhou Zhaoji's arm, and slashed across with a dagger with one hand, the door of the gas shield opened, completely breaking Zhou Zhaoji's cover up.As soon as the barrier was broken, a strange aura mixed with Zhou Zhaoji's half-human, half-ghost aura came faintly, flickering, faintly present, neither ghost aura nor demon aura, spells, extremely strange But it was also extremely difficult to wrap around Zhou Zhaoji's neck endlessly.

Gu Tailai frowned: "You still say it's a trivial matter? What is it? Honestly, do you suspect that Wang Shijun's coma is related to that woman? Is it also related to your breakup with your elder brother?"

Only then did Zhou Zhaoji say with a serious face: "Brother, you'd better leave this matter alone!" His hands unconsciously tugged on his neckline, as if the neckline of the T-shirt on his body was strangling him.

Gu Tailai already had a guess in his mind, looked at the hand, became more certain, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the necklace on your neck?"

Ji Xiaocai just finished cleaning up the kitchen and brought out two bowls of sweet soup. Hearing Gu Tailai's words, she almost dropped the bowls in her hand.

Zhou Zhaoji changed his face when he heard this, and asked, "How did you see that!?" Then he immediately realized that Gu Tailai was playing tricks on him, threw the bowl on the table, turned around and was about to run.

Gu Tailai yelled directly at the door: "Xiao Cai, lock the door!"

Ji Xiaocai comprehended, and stabilized the two bowls of sweet soup in the air. He stood at the door, waved his hands, and embraced the Tai Chi pose. While stretching, he made a barrier to hold Zhou Zhaoji, who wanted to escape, between the two sides. between people.

"Brother, don't force me, I really can't say it." Zhou Zhaoji begged, "This is very wicked, the less you know, the better, otherwise you may follow in my footsteps!"

Gu Tailai had a flash of inspiration and asked Zhou Zhaoji, "Is it a curse?"

Zhou Zhaoji sighed: "I don't know, anyway, this thing on the neck is very evil. It keeps sucking anger and spiritual energy every day. If you interfere, maybe something will happen."

Ji Xiaocai couldn't help asking: "Daozhang Zhou, is this the reason why you broke up with my elder brother?"

Zhou Zhaoji was dejected: "Half and half..." After a pause, he asked, "Ono, what do you say?"

Ji Xiaocai said honestly: "My elder brother said that you have someone else outside, of course none of us..."

Zhou Zhaoji's face became even uglier, and he said dejectedly, "He really believed it..." He muttered to himself, as if he was very disappointed, "I didn't expect him to really believe it, that's right, it's best for him to believe..." The expression on his face was miserable.

Gu Tailai did not look at him and felt sorry for himself, and asked, "Where did the necklace on your neck come from?"

Zhou Zhaoji shook his head: "I don't know. I was involved in this matter because Zhu Yunyan originally commissioned me to investigate her husband Wang Shijun's cheating. She said that he might have a lover outside and asked me to take some photos and come back to negotiate. I just thought it was a simple matter, but I didn’t expect that Wang Shijun’s lover seemed to be very capable. Every time I was nearby, he would break the appointment, the bug that was secretly placed was accidentally thrown away, and the camera that was placed in advance would have captured Wang Shijun and his colleagues. Photos, or else they will always only capture the image of Wang Shijun himself.

Then ten days ago, I received a call from Zhu Yunyan, she said that Wang Shijun claimed to be going on a business trip, suspected of lying to her, and asked me to investigate.Sure enough, I found out that Wang Shijun had booked a room in a hotel on the outskirts of City H, so I sneaked over there. Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I found Wang Shijun lying on the ground alone, unconscious.I saw a red strangle mark on his neck, as if he had worn something like a necklace, and it looked like he had been dragged away, so I called Zhu Yunyan immediately, and I asked her if she knew what Wang Shijun was wearing around his neck. Something, because I found that Wang Shijun's soul had been tampered with, and there was a strange smell left on his neck. I guessed at that time that Wang Shijun might have quarreled with his lover, and then he was calculated. There may be problems with things, but Zhu Yunyan was very strange when she heard what I said. She said, "How can you see..." and then said, "Could it be her...". "

The first sentence of these two sentences proves that the missing necklace on Wang Shijun's neck is this kind of strange invisible necklace, and the second half of the sentence "could it be her" sounds like the disappearance of the necklace made Zhu Yunyan confirm the identity of Wang Shijun's lover .

Gu Tailai frowned.If the identity of the other party can be confirmed just by a necklace, does it mean that there is a photo hidden in the necklace?If this is the case, Wang Shijun will never let Zhu Yunyan know that there is such a necklace, and it is obviously not in line with the situation that both husband and wife share that necklace...Then, the only possible reason for being able to confirm the identity is because this necklace is related to the lover. Closely related, so, could it be this mysterious lover who sold the necklace to the Wang couple?

"Before that, did Zhu Yunyan mention the necklace to you?"

"Never." Zhou Zhaoji said angrily, "If I knew this was so evil, how could I accept it, and it's too late to get away now." He grabbed the necklace around his neck that no one else could see, and said, " On the second day after Wang Shijun's accident, I woke up in the morning and found that there was such a thing on my neck. run away.

Gu Tailai's heart skipped a beat, he stood up, and took out something wrapped in a newspaper from a side drawer.It was a local specialty product presented by his host after he exorcised ghosts in the town of dumb frog, a pair of braided necklaces with concentric knot pendants. It is said that this is a craftsmanship that has been passed down for hundreds of years in dumb frog town, and few people know it now. It is done, as long as lovers wear this pair of necklaces, they will be able to be together forever and have a good relationship for a hundred years.Since Gu Tailai heard Zhong Yeqing's words and contacted Ji Lanye's attitude, he suspected that there was something wrong with this thing, and now he showed it to Zhou Zhaoji: "Is it like this?"

Below the two necklaces strung together by colorful silk sash is a small pendant in the shape of a golden concentric knot. I don't know what material it is made of, but it looks exquisite and beautiful.The knitting method of the concentric knot in the traditional weaving process is already very complicated, but this pair of concentric knot necklaces is different from that, except for the knitting pattern, the two concentric knots seem to be integrated at first glance, but there is a buckle in the middle. Press it down and it will be divided into two pieces, like the Western cupid love arrow type couple pendants, each of the lovers wears one, implying unity of one heart.With such ingenuity, it's no wonder this chain is a must in Dumb Frog Town.

When Zhou Zhaoji saw what Gu Tailai was holding, his expression changed: "Brother, why are you..." Before he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, "I can see it?" He said, " Brother, can you show me?" Taking the chain from Gu Tailai's hand, and looking at the invisible necklace around his neck for a while, Zhou Zhaoji said, "It looks very similar, but when you look closely, it doesn't look like it. No, the materials seem to be different, the most important thing is that your pair of necklaces don’t have that peculiar aura.”

While Gu Tailai breathed a sigh of relief, he was also distressed that his thoughts were confirmed. Sure enough, it was no wonder Ji Lanye said such things in the morning.Zhou Zhaoji really cared about chaos this time.

He asked Zhou Zhaoji: "Did you hear that you haven't found it yet? All these chains appear in pairs, and Zhu Yunyan also has one around her neck."

Zhou Zhaoji was shocked, and looked at Gu Tailai in disbelief: "Brother, don't make fun of me."

He turned back nervously to look at Ji Xiaocai, who was also thinking about this.He said, "Daoist Zhou, my elder brother...does he also wear this kind of necklace?"

Zhou Zhaoji shook his head: "Impossible! Why would I let Xiao Ye wear this, and I was just worried that it would hurt him. I haven't mentioned a word to him since the accident and I have never gone back!"

Ji Xiaocai shook her head: "No, Daoist Zhou, when my elder brother saw this chain in the morning, he said it was unlucky and asked Daoist to throw it away."

Zhou Zhaoji's face instantly became whiter than ever, and he murmured: "Why is this, he shouldn't have that thing..." His mind quickly rewinded, and he thought of Ji Lanye's inexplicable loss before breaking up with Ji Lanye. It was nice to call and say "thank you".

Zhou Zhaoji turned around and rushed out, bumped into Ji Xiaocai's barrier, and took three steps back in pain: "Bastard, get rid of it!" Zhou Zhaoji was furious, Ji Xiaocai hurriedly removed the barrier, he pushed open the door and rushed go out.

Gu Tailai put on his coat and rushed over: "Xiao Cai, let's follow! I'm afraid something will happen to him!"

※※※

After reciting the invisibility formula, the two turned over and jumped down with Zhou Zhaoji from the window on the corridor.The height of the fourteenth floor is nothing to them.However, before landing, he heard a loud noise not far from downstairs, followed by a burst of flames.There was a brief silence, and the car sirens in the community went off in a row, and someone shouted: "The car exploded, run!" Immediately, there was an uproar, and people from all over the place rushed out of their homes and fled in all directions.

N City is very expensive, and the open-air parking lot in the community is not wide, and every car is connected quite tightly.The explosion of the first car ignited the fire, and the second car was also engulfed by the fire. The glass and shell could not withstand the baking of the fire, and there was a distorted and broken moan in the raging flames. The fuel tank was ignited, "pong" The ground exploded, the third car, the fourth car... an open-air parking lot was suddenly filled with the sound of explosions one after another.The explosive air flow was jetted out, and hot car fragments splashed everywhere, piercing into the walls and windows of the nearest residential building, attacking the fleeing crowd.

Ji Xiaocai's demon power was fully unleashed, Feixue Lianyan's sword was unsheathed and flew into the air.His demon sword was baptized by Minjiang Longxueling, and reborn from the Nirvana Fire. It has become the only sword in the world that is extremely cloudy and fresh from ice and snow. Jump to the sky above the fire scene, hold the hilt of the sword, and swipe in the air, the surrounding area is suddenly cold, the frost and snow condense in the cold wind, and the rain and dew grow quietly, forming a large white area on the ground in an instant!Ji Xiaocai flew over the center of the fire scene, held the sword in a circle, and when his sword energy passed by, it circled an invisible cylinder range from the ground to the air, trapping the fire firmly within it, preventing it from spreading anywhere.Gu Tailai knew that the fire could not resist him, so he treated the wounded on the ground, and helped stop the bleeding if he saw someone unconscious, he used Taoism to carry them to a safe place.

However, Zhou Zhaoji ran to the fire scene earlier, thinking that he figured out that Ji Lanye was in the fire scene.Fan Huochen would not be able to hurt Ji Lanye, an immortal, on weekdays, but if Ji Lanye was indeed wearing that strange necklace, it would be hard to say where his immortal skills would regress, let alone in a crisis, there would be What happened.

Gu Tailai's voice transmitted to his ears: "Xiao Cai, put out the fire quickly, and bring your elder brother and Zhou Zhaoji out."

Ji Xiaocai was about to agree, when suddenly she felt a sudden force coming from below, scorching hot, as if it could burn his three souls and seven souls all at once.Shocked, he stood up, and saw that the flame trapped by Feixue's sword just now seemed to be doused with a large barrel of gasoline, and suddenly jumped several feet, the tongue of flame was like scarlet in the mouth of a poisonous snake. Forked, hit the barrier of cold air he set up, went outward and upward, and rushed in all directions.

"How could this happen!" Ji Xiaocai was shocked, just now it was an ordinary dust fire, but it turned into a celestial fire in the blink of an eye!

Gu Tailai also saw the change, and in astonishment, he did not forget to tell Ji Xiaocai: "Xiao Cai, suppress the fire with the yin energy of heaven and earth, I will go into the fire to save people!"

Heavenly Fire is the fire of Zhu Rong, the God of Fire in the Heavenly Realm. He has six or six 36 fire tubes with different sizes, shades and colors, ranging from natural fire to samadhi real fire. It is extraordinary that water, frost and snow can be extinguished. Look at the fire scene The intensity of the fire is similar to the real fire of samadhi, which is difficult to deal with.It must be known that the real fire of samadhi is the bone of a fairy fetus, and it can also be burned to nothingness. Zhou Zhaoji and Ji Lanye will definitely not be able to stop it.

Gu Tailai was originally a heavenly ghost. He was born in Luo Haiwoyan. His natural constitution was extremely yin. Although he had not been baptized by the fire of heaven, he was expected to be able to block it a little. So he chanted the Taoist golden light mantra to protect the soul and body, and at the same time transformed the yin energy into the body. Zhou Ningcheng armored his body, jumped over Ji Xiaocai's barrier, and rushed into the fire.However, he clearly aimed at the center of the fire and jumped in, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that he had crossed the entire fire and reached the other side of the parking lot.Surprised in his heart, he turned back and entered the fire scene from another place, and in a short while, he came back from the opposite direction, as if invisible hands stopped him from the fire scene.

"Shape-Free Displacement!?" Gu Tailai was startled, it was Heavenly Fire, and Shape-shifting again, who the hell were they facing!

Ji Xiaocai saw that Gu Tailai was unable to enter the fire, and shouted in the air: "Master, please control the fire for me for a few minutes, and I will go inside." Gu Tailai leaped into the air, speeding in front of him Dot the Taoist talisman, borrow the talisman from the book, invite the power of the Snow God of the North Sky, and recite the edict, and ask the oracle of the Rain God in the heavenly court, and the sky and the earth are instantly covered with flying snow, fog and rain.Without touching the ground, Ji Xiaocai walked towards the fire with her head down, flying snow and swords flickering coldly, straight into the center of the fire.Gu Tailai couldn't see clearly on the ground, but in the air he saw that although the heavenly realm fire was rising, it seemed to be high and low, so he guessed that the fire field was a magic circle, so there must be a circle inside.The eyes of the ordinary formation must be at the strongest part of the magic formation for protection, and the place where the fire is the densest and fastest in the fire formation is right in the center, so it was replaced by Gu Tailai to look down.

Ji Xiaocai swooped down, the flame array seemed to expect him to break the array, and then suddenly jumped a few feet higher, like a volcanic hell in the [-]th floor of hell, the flames swayed in all directions, like countless resentful souls who died in vain in the sea of ​​bitterness, stretched out their arms, resentful Infinity wants to drag people into the sea.When I didn't pay attention, I felt that my feet were hot, as if I had been licked by a tongue of fire.Ji Xiaocai held back the pain, and swung her sword neatly to block the hot rockets, the snow covered the sword body with cold air, reflecting magnificent light.

Ji Xiaocai suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she had a tacit understanding. He paused, and he heard Gu Tailai shouting from above: "Xiao Cai, come out!" He immediately turned around and left.

Fiery hands stretched out from all directions, pulling Ji Xiaocai's ankles in an attempt to keep him, but he chopped off several pieces in a row, and dared not reach out again.The flame turned into a swamp, extremely viscous, pushed back and forth, waves surged, Ji Xiaocai let out a cry, and the cold light of the flying snow shone with the sword, sweeping away the fire, he stood up, broke through the obstacles, and flew straight to the sky.Landing on the ground, I saw Gu Tailai standing on the edge of the fire and staring at the fire coldly. He quickly tapped his hands, and the golden light Taoist order appeared out of thin air, and it turned into a cage and fell heavily, covering the fire. It was like being wiped out by an invisible hand, but disappeared without a trace in an instant.Looking around, it was peaceful and peaceful, the nearby residential buildings were brightly lit, and melodious music was heard from someone's house, floating in the air.A few passers-by passed by and saw the two of them standing stupidly by the parking lot, so they couldn't help but look at them strangely.

"Illusion." Ji Xiaocai looked at Gu Tailai.As soon as he discovered that the blade of the Feixue Sword hadn't reflected the fire that filled the sky, he knew it was a fraud.The naked eye is easily deceived, and the mind is also deceived, but what does not exist cannot be reflected from the sword of the demon sword. Whether it was the explosion in the parking lot just now or the fire in the sky, it was actually a deception.Even if it is deception, if it is taken seriously, it will be true, and it can hurt the body.Ji Xiaocai touched her left ankle secretly, it was scorched by the flames just now, and it hurt so hot, but now she touched it, it seemed that a scar had formed.

In the parking lot, Zhou Zhaoji tightly protected Ji Lanye and leaned against a car. Both of them were out of breath and still in shock.After a long time, he stood up and walked towards Gu Tailai and the two supporting each other.

"Brother..." Zhou Zhaoji just said a word, and suddenly the four people heard a crisp "click" in their ears, a gust of wind blew past, as if dandelion seeds brushed their noses, and drifted away, Zhou Zhaoji had no image Sneezing heavily, Ji Lanye frowned, followed by another "click", and he sneezed too.

The two looked at each other, inexplicably astonished to ecstasy.

"Ono, the necklace around your neck is gone."

"Your... is gone too."

A phantom fire actually burned two strange necklaces.
