"My name is Ren Zhuo." Huadie said beside him.

"Jiangmu."

Just two words, without even redundant explanations, it really fits his name, like a piece of wood, without human emotion.

Ren Zhuo was a bit of a jumper, and he walked around Jiang Mu twice in colorful clothes, which seemed to be very strange.

He leaned over and asked again, "Didn't you really come here for that incident?"

"What's the matter?"

Ask him this question, don't explain it, he started the topic first, explain it, it feels like being clichéd.

Ren Zhuo scratched his head, his mind was really not suitable for this kind of interrogation work, so he couldn't help but waved his hand: "Forget it, for the sake of helping me catch monsters, I, Ren Zhuo, appreciate you."

"You don't need to appreciate it."

"..." Ren Zhuoquan pretended not to hear, "Do you know Yuyaomen?"

"do not know."

"..."

The words were originally a habitual politeness, which can also be called an opening remark, because it is impossible for someone in the Taoist sect to not know the existence of Yuyaomen. Ren Zhuo's face suddenly twitched, and he wanted to take back what he said just now.

"I'm not kidding you."

Jiang Mu looked indifferent and didn't explain, giving people the illusion that I wasn't joking either, and seeing that Ren Zhuo didn't speak, he waited for a while, then walked sideways past him, and walked down the mountain step by step.

The hem of the clothes embroidered with unknown characters was swinging, and the back revealed the meaning of "I'm not curious either".

Ren Zhuo came back to his senses, and murmured after him: "OK, OK, you won. Brother, I will be merciful today, and I will introduce it to you. Yuyaomen is the royal family in Taoism, which belongs to the imperial court. Come to enforce tolerance."

"Ah."

The sky started dripping again, Jiang Mu in front held up his umbrella, he didn't even bother to turn his head around, Ren Zhuo scratched his hair, and ran forward to get into his umbrella.

This umbrella is not big, and it seems very crowded to support two men at the same time, and thanks to Jiang Mushou, it is barely enough, and they will not all be squeezed outside.

Jiang Mu glanced at him indifferently, as if he wanted to push him away, Ren Zhuo immediately changed the subject: "Five years ago, a group of evil monsters from the Western Regions made trouble in Dongxuan Kingdom. They caused dozens of tragedies, and their methods were appalling. The gang was suppressed and killed by the Yuyaomen, and the matter is considered closed. But three months ago, the bizarre murder case in Yingzhou attracted the attention of everyone in the Taoist sect."

"The murderer was not caught?"

"Caught it, but that person is just an ordinary person, you understand?"

Jiang Mu nodded slowly, and Ren Zhuo said again: "I suspect that the person he invited was the remnant of a demon from back then, so I have been investigating all the way, from Yingzhou to Hagi City, until..."

"He has been to Hongshan Academy."

Ren Zhuo immediately looked at him more, but Jiang Mu was still the same, his expression didn't change at all.

"Yes, you bastard, I doubt you know at all!"

Jiang Mu shook his head: "I don't know, I can guess."

"Then you guess one more." Ren Zhuo sneered, Jiang Mu lowered his eyes slightly, and really let him continue to guess.

"He found you."

Ren Zhuo's face changed again: "...You must be that monster, forget it, you continue to talk."

Jiang Mu glanced at the demon-binding bag on Ren Zhuo's waist, and continued: "You chased too quickly, and he found him in the boundary of Hagi City, but he wasn't sure why you came and whether you were following him. You are smart, then The snake demon is raised."

"Okay, all right."

Ren Zhuo couldn't help clapping his hands for him, but he didn't expect Jiang Mu to change the subject suddenly.

"In the final analysis, it's just your lack of knowledge. If you can't fight, you will wait for the other party to show his flaws. You are very greedy. How many levels can the monster let you advance in the Yuyaomen?"

When these words were said, the air was chilled in an instant, Ren Zhuo's face turned cold, his eyes swept over Jiang Mu's pale and slender neck, and finally did nothing.

They did not speak until they reached the foot of the Red Mountain.

Jiang Mu held an umbrella and walked slowly towards Hagi City, his figure gradually disappeared into the rain, Ren Zhuo stared at him for a long time, in fact, he wanted to cut each other's throat directly when he was on the mountain, the two were under the same umbrella At that distance, even the ability to cast spells was difficult to cast immediately, but he didn't do it.

[This person is far more terrifying than a demon]

This was the warning the snake demon gave him at the time.

*

Jiang Mu didn't care about his life being missed by others at all, but what Ren Zhuo said about the monster was a breakthrough point. Maybe the black air between Shang Xuan's eyebrows and the green air on the ink ingot were also related.

"Doctor Jiang?"

A voice of doubt sounded behind him.

Jiang Mu turned around, and the person who stopped him was... Shang Xuan?

This timing is really a coincidence.

"Master Shang didn't go to the academy today?" He asked.

Shang Xuan held up a dark umbrella and explained: "Tomorrow is my mother's memorial day, and my father said that I won't go to the academy for a few days."

Jiang Mu narrowed his eyes: "Sorry."

"It's nothing," Shang Xuan smiled, "Doctor Jiang just came back?"

"Well, I went to your academy. Mr. Chen is not feeling well, so I went to have a look. Do you want to go back now?"

Shang Xuan nodded. He was carrying some things in his hand, and he seemed to be out shopping.

"Just go back."

"Together?"

"it is good."

Both of their shops are on the same street, not far away.

"How's your body feeling recently?"

Shang Xuan responded, "Fortunately, Doctor Jiang's medicine is quite effective."

"That's fine."

Even though he had doubts about him in his heart, Jiang Mu had never been a person who liked to ask questions. Seeing that the blackness in Shang Xuan's eyebrows had dissipated, he didn't say much.

It's just that he didn't say anything, but Shang Xuan asked.

"Doctor Jiang."

"Ok?"

"Do you... believe in the theory of ghosts and gods?"

"Why ask that?"

"I think... I saw a ghost."

Jiang Mu turned his head to look at him, and suddenly the rain in Hagi City became heavier.

*

On the way back to the South City Gate, Shang preached about his experience during this period. He said that there seemed to be an invisible person beside him. It felt very strange, but he couldn’t remember what happened with him .

Jiang Mu didn't tell him what shopkeeper Shang said. How can Shang Xuan still be young, there is no need to cause him panic before the truth comes to light.

"What kind of person do you think 'he' is?"

Shang Xuan thought carefully: "I can't tell, I don't think he is a bad person."

“How come you see?”

"Hmm..." Shang Xuan pursed his lips and seemed a little embarrassed, "He helped me a lot."

"for example?"

"Things that I can't find can always appear in front of my eyes very quickly. Sometimes I don't know the answer to the question asked by the master, but as if someone suddenly told me, I know how to answer it inexplicably, and... "

Jiang Mu stood looking at him, Shang Xuan also stopped, and after a while he whispered: "Once I was bullied and fell from upstairs...I felt someone caught me below, and then that People who bully me have been sick for a long time."

"It looks like a Patronus."

Shang Xuan smiled at him, and said: "I have this feeling, but it's very strange."

"Have you communicated with him?"

Shang Xuan was stunned, and shook his head: "No, I can't see what he looks like, my memory is very hazy, probably... similar to me, sometimes he says something, but I can't hear clearly. Doctor Jiang... ...he seems to know me."

"Know you? Your friend?"

Shang Xuan shook his head: "I don't have any friends who have passed away, so it's very strange."

The matter seemed to be at a dead end, and he couldn't find anything if he asked again. Jiang Mu thought about the matter Chen An had dealt with, and changed the subject to him: "I went to Hongshan Academy today and saw a group of students standing outside for punishment."

"Punishment?" Shang Xuan thought, "It's from the Tianzi class. A large part of the students in that class are from prominent backgrounds, and they always bully honest people in the academy."

Thinking of the boy in that corner, Jiang Mu also told Shang Xuan, but this time Shang Xuan was very angry.

"I knew they were bullying Xue Yuan again!"

"your friend?"

Shang Xuan explained: "Forget it, it doesn't count. Anyway, in my eyes, he is the best student in the academy, much better than those idiots. It's a pity that no one supports him."

In Shang Xuan's introduction, Xue Yuan's family background is actually not low. He is the son of the main house, but the tragedy happened when his mother passed away early, and there was no one to protect him. After raising two boys, Xue Yuan has been infinitely marginalized for many years.

Shang Xuan was a little annoyed: "Seeing him being bullied, I can't help him."

Jiang Mu said slowly: "If you didn't help him, why would you be bullied?"

"I..." Shang Xuan was speechless.

Although shopkeeper Shang is a businessman, he has a good background. He had some conflicts with his family in his early years, so he came out to set up his own business. Thanks to the Ming Dynasty ruler of Dongxuan Kingdom, the prosperity and enlightenment did not discriminate against the merchant class.

The two were talking, and they had already reached the South City Gate before they knew it. Jiang Mu sent him back to the shop. Inside, the shopkeeper Shang went to nowhere. There was only a waiter in the shop. He bid farewell to the pharmacy on the other side of Shangxuanchao Street. go.

Duan Xu was resting on the recliner in the room, staring blankly at the beams, wondering what he was thinking.

Jiang Mu came in and put the umbrella aside, but Duan Xu remained silent.

"Have you lost your mind without doing anything?"

Duan Xu was suddenly startled, and his expression was a little dazed.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Mu asked.

Duan Xu shook his head: "It's nothing, I just thought of some old things."
