How to catch a demon god? !

The clockwork called vigilance in the turtledove's heart did not relax when he heard the word "deal" from the mouth of the evil dragon, but continued to run at twice the speed, breaking through the previous highest value.Due to the physiological advantages of birds, he doesn't need to blink, so he can stare at every move of the man in front of him, even the beating of the blood flowing in the arteries under the skin of his neck cannot escape his eyes.His body couldn't move, but his mind was clearer than usual, and he heard his own voice ask formulaically, "What deal."

Zicheng seemed to appreciate his attitude of being silent and humble, let go of his face, and put his right hand behind his back for two seconds, and there was an extra green and black halberd in his hand.He pointed the scimitar at the turtledove: "To show my sincerity, it's okay to tell you the exact location where the dragon tail halberd was damaged." His fingers brushed across the blade that should have cut iron like mud, but there was no blood. "Look, my dragon tail halberd has been polluted, and the scimitar is no longer usable."

Turtle Dove watched coldly: "Get to the point. I don't have time to spend with you."

The corners of Zi Cheng's mouth curled up, but his cloudy eyes were as dark as a pool of stagnant water without any ripples: "Give me the human beings around Ling Fengmian. He made it dirty, let him lick it clean for me."

"..." Turtledove fell silent for the first time in the face of the oppressive enemy.

"That pretentious monkey also stole important things from me. Did he offer it to Ling Fengmian with a cheerful and silly smile as soon as he returned to the fox's lair?"

Turtledove stared at him for a moment, without any wavering in his voice: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Zicheng sneered, and the dragon tail halberd in his hand turned into a puff of black evil spirit and disappeared into the steaming bathroom: "Forget it, you don't need to know. Give him to me, and I'll let him tell it himself."

"You think I'll promise you?"

"Why not. You haven't heard me say the terms of exchange." Sitting by the bathtub, Zicheng put one hand into the warm water and stirred up waves of water, "Since it's a deal, I won't treat you badly." You. If you hand him over, I will let that half-dead old man Lin Xun live."

A hint of surprise flashed in Turtle Dove's heart.

"Aren't you so naive as to think that I can't kill him without Gu?" Zi Cheng raised his head and laughed, as if he heard the most ridiculous joke in this century, "Ridiculous. The master is not good, and the people under him are even more useless." , It seems that I overestimated Ling Fengmian. Think about it, how boring is it to kill him with a knife? Wouldn’t it be the most delicious to torture him slowly with Gu, and pick this fruit when he is shrouded in fear.”

This man is crazy.Normal logic doesn't make sense to him.

Turtledove understood this at once.

"not enough."

"What's not enough?"

Turtle Dove sneered: "This benefit is not enough at all. The conditions you give are not equal."

Zicheng didn't expect that he still had the strength to bargain with him calmly, his eyebrows raised quietly, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, he didn't know whether to praise him for his stability in danger or let him see some blood so that he can understand his current position: " Very equal. One life for one life."

"The value is not equal." Turtledove's ironic smile faded away, and a dangerous gleam flashed in her amber eyes, "Lin Xun is at best an unrelated human being, holding shares? The company will collapse? So what. Change to a local snake You just need to support him from the beginning, there are so many things like time. Do you really think Master Ling cares? But Qiao Pingyang is different, he is the partner recognized by Master Ling at this stage, and is irreplaceable."

"Well, what you said is true. So——you're looking forward to him disappearing from Ling Fengmian's side until the flowers are gone."

"..."

"Why don't you talk? Tsk tsk, it seems that I stepped on a landmine."

Turtledove looked away briefly, then looked up again at the man's pupils that sucked out all the light like a black hole, and was not bewitched by him: "What I think has nothing to do with the transaction. No one wants to suffer a loss in business. Qiao Pingyang can only In exchange for Lin Xun, my risk is too great."

Zi Cheng took a look at him, seeing his upright words with a face that would rather die than suffer, he let go with a little dissatisfaction: "Then what do you want?"

"First, don't touch Lin Xun. Second, don't attack Xueyin and Qinglan. The third and final condition is to ensure that he will never come back." Turtle Dove clearly listed three conditions, Can't hear his emotions.

When Zicheng heard the last sentence, his dark and dull eyes burst out with strong anticipation.He got up, and sincerely invited: "I lost a subordinate a few months ago, and I leave this position to you. When I bring down Ling Fengmian, come and do things for me, Turtledove." He called With a snap of his fingers, the black shackles wrapped around the turtledove's hands and feet like greasy snakes disappeared.

Finally, he smiled and said "The water is cold, get up quickly" and disappeared.

In an instant, the light in the room was restored, and it was as bright as before.The turtledove lay in the cold water that was gradually losing temperature, looked up at the bright overhead light for a long time, lost in thought.

Half a month is just a snap of the fingers.

After Qiao Pingyang met Qinglan and Xueyin in the cafe, the task of finding the password was once deadlocked.He and Wanqin couldn't get along at all, so even if he wanted to reasonably guess where Wanqin hid the eye that might be removed, he couldn't do it.And what needs to be noted here is that the premise is "eyes that may be removed".Possibly = No one can guarantee that Wanqin's left eye really still exists somewhere in this world.Besides, this is not a puzzle that can be solved by hiring a private eye to follow and take pictures.Qiao Pingyang held the small piece of paper that Jiechen gave him all day long, and it took him a whole day just to look at it.

On Christmas Eve, in order to stimulate consumer demand, the festive atmosphere in the city is quite strong.From time to time in the evening, shopping malls set off fireworks and salutes in the square to create momentum for the Christmas atmosphere.

Qiao Pingyang was probably awakened by the sound of the salute.When he woke up, he found that he had fallen asleep on the sofa.He got up and glanced at his phone. It was eight o'clock in the evening on the 22nd, which happened to be the winter solstice.It may have been four or five days since the last time I went out.In the past half month, he found time to meet Qiao Qianyu once, chatted and complained, and the main content still revolved around the mysterious and insoluble horoscope.

Naturally, Qiao Qianyu couldn't be more capable than him, and could only express her spiritual support for him.

However, there was a conversation, which made Qiao Pingyang slightly puzzled.

Although Qiao Qianyu laughed at her uncle for being obsessed with a disk, in fact, she had more or less realized that the monster she was facing this time was different from the previous ones.Qiao Pingyang didn't reveal too many details to her in detail, perhaps because she didn't want to involve her in troublesome incidents, but based on her understanding of her uncle, she can also analyze it from his attitude.

"Uncle, tell me, on this board, could Wanqin see his own fate?"

Qiao Pingyang was taken aback. It's not that he didn't have this idea before, but Xie Chen vetoed it with certainty: "Impossible. Jie Chen is an expert. He said that dreamers can see everyone's fate, but they can't see their own. .So this possibility can be ruled out."

Qiao Qianyu curled her lips boredly, and didn't speak again.

Qiao Pingyang suddenly murmured again: "It snows in spring..."

"Huh? Uncle, what did you say?"

"Xiaoyuer, have you ever seen heavy snowfall in spring when you grew up?" Qiao Pingyang felt stupid after asking. He lived eight years longer than Qiao Qianyu, and he had never seen snow in the south in spring. Weird, so he remedied, "Just ask. It was Qing Lan who said that Wanqin was completely blind in his left eye in the year when it snowed in spring, and then began to wear blindfolds. I think this special time node may be easier to cut into .”

Qiao Qianyu didn't think it was strange, and thought about it seriously: "I haven't seen it. It doesn't even snow in winter in the south. If you have seen such an abnormal phenomenon, you should be very impressed."

That's right.

Qiao Pingyang nodded helplessly.

However, Qiao Qianyu held her chin and thought for a long time, her brows were knit together, as if she was trying to remember something.

"what happened?"

"Although I haven't seen it, but... why do I feel like I've heard it somewhere?"

Qiao Pingyang was taken aback again: "Have you heard?"

Qiao Qianyu pondered, not quite sure if her memory was correct: "I'm not sure, but I should have heard about the snow in spring when I was a child. It should be... I happened to overhear it when the adults at home were chatting." Qiao Qianyu The family connections are not strong, and almost all of them are single-handed.And Qiao Ran disappeared when Qiao Qianyu was not born, so the "adults" in Qiao Qianyu's mouth should refer to her biological parents, that is, Qiao Pingyang's eldest brother Qiao Pinghao and sister-in-law Li Su, and perhaps they lived together in Qiao Qianyu. Neighbors in the house.

Then why didn't Qiao Pingyang, who also lived in Qiao's courtyard since he was a child, hear about it?

"you sure?"

"I've already said that I'm not sure." Qiao Qianyu pouted her lips and gave her uncle a sideways glance, "The memory is so vague, it must be when I was very young, maybe only four or five years old, if it was me I’m not responsible if I remember wrongly.”

Qiao Qianyu is four or five years old, so isn't he already in his teens?Impossible to have no memory at all.Or was he not in Qiao's courtyard when this conversation happened?Qiao Pingyang was already a dead horse at this time, and he caught a gecko by the tail and refused to let it go: "It's not that serious. Even if you remember wrongly, I won't throw you into the Li River to wash your brains. Let's recall again, Anything more specific?"

"...You still want to throw me into the Li River! Is there any humanity left!"

"I can't say no. Xiao Yu'er, how did your reading comprehension ability become a writer?"

"..."

Really making people angry is not worth the loss, Qiao Pingyang sighed, apologized and said: "It's my brother's fault, I won't tease you. Tell me."

Qiao Qianyu glared at him, and said angrily: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I really can't remember. Let me see, why don't you ask Grandpa Zeng? He has lived the longest, and he may see pass."

After that, the uncle and nephew chatted away again.But this incident left a suspense in Qiao Pingyang's heart, as if a ray of hope shot from afar in the dark.

No matter how many times you read "Fate of Life", it's useless. Xie Chen said that without a password, nothing can be discussed.Qiao Pingyang sighed, looked at the small piece of paper on the coffee table again, and thought to himself that he had to ask grandpa first, since it would not be a loss if he could not be asked.If you really ask for useful clues, you will be lucky.

The loud salute outside the window exploded for the last time, and almost at the same time, Qiao Pingyang's cell phone beeped.It's a text message tone.

He picked up his phone and frowned subconsciously when he saw the sender.

Turtledove looking for him?

He doesn't have any opinion on Turtle Dove, but Turtle Dove has never liked him, and seems to have always adhered to the principle of never having anything to do with him. It's too official to meet him occasionally, so why would he send him a text message in private?

He clicked on the text message, Turtle Dove wrote very briefly, only a few words: I have something to tell you.

……

Qiao Pingyang raised his eyebrows, and his intuition told him that this matter was unusual.He was hesitating whether to reply or not but didn't know what to reply when there was a sound of opening the door.He turned around and saw Ling Fengmian who was covered in cold air.Looks like it's getting too hot outside again.

"Are you back? Do you want some glutinous rice balls?"

"eat."

"Only sesame and jujube stuffing. Which one to eat?"

"Eat them all."

Qiao Pingyang was secretly funny, the emperor who was neither picky about human customs nor picky eaters looked cute.Since the two of them got rid of the roommate relationship of simply sleeping on the same bed until dawn, they became sticky tacitly.Like every couple in this world who owes their IQs, Lord Yaoshen also developed from "favoring" Qiao Pingyang to "more favoring".

Ling Fengmian put the coat she took off on the back of the chair, turned around and went into the kitchen: "I'll cook."

Qiao Pingyang was very helpful, and the arrogant fox also knew how to hurt people.

"The things you cook are undercooked and unpalatable."

……

Nonsence!

"It's good to cook for you!"

Qiao Pingyang pretended to be angry and dropped the phone, got up and went into the kitchen, temporarily forgetting about the text messages.

The winter solstice is a solar term for human beings, and has nothing to do with demons.Turtledove never cared about the winter solstice, nor did he care about Christmas, he was not interested in these excuses that humans use to vent their excess energy by making noise.Xueyin is the closest relative among the three guards. Maybe she has been alone in Qingjian Lingshan before. A ferret guarding the Lingquan is lonely enough. When she comes to the city, she is curious about everything and likes everything, and she lives like a real human being. .Qing Lan is also willing to accompany him crazy.

Called as usual this year.

"Turtledove, the winter solstice is coming, come to my house to eat glutinous rice balls?"

But Turtle Dove used the same reason every year to prevaricate him: "There are still things to be done in the company. You and Qing Lan should take my share too."

Xueyin yelled dissatisfied: "Hey~~~> o<But this year Yangyang is waiting at home, Master Ling has rushed home early, right? Why does Turtle Dove still have to work?"

"..." Turtle Dove supported the mirror frame, and said without changing expression, "I will finish the rest of the work after Master Ling returns home. You can play. Wait until I... finish this work, Let's have a drink with you."

Xueyin struggled for a while, and had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

Turtledove cut off the call and stood on the balcony of his house, blowing the north wind.He opened the message and cleared all text messages.The temperature on his back dropped suddenly, and a black evil spirit enveloped his whole body in an instant.

the second time.Why is this man completely unaware when he is approaching?

"I gave you half a month, and if I don't act, I can't guarantee that I won't unilaterally cancel the transaction."

Turtledove turned around, the tall man was still dressed in black, his eye sockets were deepened by his high browbones and bridge of nose.He didn't avoid Zicheng's direct gaze, and looked into his eyes decisively: "I've already made a move. The big fish is slow to bite the bait. And you must have been fooled by him, he is a cunning fish."

"That's right, a cunning prey tainted with the smell of a fox." Zicheng emphasized the three words "smell of a fox" with great interest, and he was very interested in how the turtledove would react.

However, the turtledove would not do what he wanted, and just closed its mouth wisely and remained silent.

"Hmph." Zicheng, who felt bored, snorted coldly, and changed his direction to poke Turtledove's sore spot, "Has the fox gone back to accompany his little monkey today? How pitiful, Turtledove, you have worked hard to serve him for hundreds of years Now, what about the monkey? Three months? More than three months to get what you'll never have. You should hate him. Blame him."

Turtle Dove is not annoyed at being dubbed a "resentful woman", as long as Ling Fengmian understands his loyalty, it is enough.He asked silently: "You are no better than me. I heard that you will eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice. Is there no one to eat with you?"

"Humanity's festival has nothing to do with me." Zi Cheng's words were true.He really wasn't interested.

"That's a pity."

Zicheng didn't know what he meant.

Turtledove's sharp light brown pupils shine through the flat mirror. He smiled clearly, but the words he said were uncomfortable and disturbing: "I wanted to give you a big gift at Christmas. But you seem to be interested in human beings. It’s a pity that there is no interest in festivals.”

Zicheng paused when he heard the words, but in the next second he realized what the "big gift" he was talking about was. "Turtledove, Ling Fengmian probably didn't know that one day she would be gnawed to the bone by the eagle she raised. Heh, I'm sweating because of his fear, and I can't help but want to remind him——" Just pay more attention to you."

The turtledove lowered its eyes in noncommittal.Glasses blocked his view.

"Don't worry, I'll do what I said on your three conditions. Especially the third one." Zi Cheng bent down, moved his eyes to the parallel place with the turtledove, took off his pair of glasses that blocked the beauty, and curled up his mouth. With an evil smile, "The third one, I will redouble my efforts to fulfill your wish."

Without the barrier of the plain mirror, Zi Cheng's eyes full of malice made Turtle Dove a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't immediately adapt to this man's madness and viciousness in a short time.But he can't lose, he can't show a bit of wavering or a moment's retreat in front of the enemy, he has to stand at the same height as this man to negotiate in order to gain the greatest benefit.He is the leader of Ling Fengmian's guards. He must obey all orders of Ling Fengmian. Every moment, every minute and every second of his life, he must regard Ling Fengmian's safety and interests as the only and highest belief. .

Even if he had to make sacrifices for this, he would not hesitate.
