strongest partner

Back at the hotel, the proprietress was surprised when she saw Fang Shaoyan and the others, "Eh? You... why did you come back suddenly today?"

"Miss Boss, we didn't check out, why can't we come back?" Fang Shaoyan asked back.

The proprietress hugged the black cat, stroking it with her right hand, and said, "That's not what I mean...it's just that I'm a little surprised that you came back suddenly..."

The landlady's eyes suddenly fell on Qi Mu who was beside him, she stared in surprise, then walked up to him, stretched out her hand, pinched Qi Mu's face, and said blankly, "This time it turned out to be a real person..."

Seeing that Qi Mu was being taken advantage of, Fang Shaoyan immediately stood in front of Qi Mu and said, "Of course it's a real person. Madam Boss, you can talk as long as you want. Can you keep your hands off your hands? Your cat is jealous!"

The proprietress raised her eyebrows, "I think you are the one who is jealous?"

Fang Shaoyan coughed lightly in embarrassment, and asked, "Miss Boss, you didn't throw out the things in my room for me, did you?"

"Of course not!" The proprietress looked Fang Shaoyan up and down for a while, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost weight? , just the corner of Shaoyan's mouth twitched, and he quickly ran upstairs.

Qi Mu followed him into the room, and before he could react, he hugged him tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub his body into his own!

"Qi Mu?" Fang Shaoyan didn't know why, "Why are you..."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Qi Mu apologized in his ear over and over again, "It's all my fault that I shouldn't have left you at this critical moment. If... If I hadn't left, you wouldn't have suffered so much... "

Fang Shaoyan blushed slightly, "You... What stupid things are you talking about? Of course you have to take care of your family affairs first, and I am not someone to you, how can I let you stay by my side all the time?"

Qi Mu let go of his hand and sighed, "I said I would protect you, but in the end I still put you in danger, I..."

"Qi Mu! You're never finished!" Fang Shaoyan couldn't help interrupting him, "Mother-in-law is not what you used to be, am I fine now? It's no big deal..."

Fang Shaoyan said it easily, but thinking of his previous experience, he still has lingering fears until now. He was almost starved to death, and then was buried under a tree as flower fertilizer. If he was not lucky, would he be able to stand alive now? Here, there is still a problem. The two have their own thoughts, and the room fell into silence for a while.

"You...," you,, the two spoke at the same time. They looked at each other, a little embarrassed, and said at the same time again: "You ask first!"

With such tacit actions, the other two couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Fang Shaoyan asked: "What did you find at Asakawa's house last time? Didn't you say that you can see your image when you open the Sky Mirror? Why can't I see you anymore after you disappeared that night?" is you?"

"Because... my image was swallowed..."

"Swallow it?" Fang Shaoyan had a strange expression on his face. Can the reflection of a person be swallowed?

As if seeing Fang Shaoyan's doubts, Qi Mu explained: "The reflection of a person is the same as the soul. The magnetic field is similar, and it is normal to be swallowed. People often say that the soul comes out of the body. The soul that flies out is very similar to the image of a person. Similar, but essentially different."

"Then what swallowed your image?"

"Undead! The undead attached to the cherry tree! Those undead attached to the spiritual power of the cherry tree, after hundreds of years of experience, have become so dark that they are already different from ordinary evil spirits, let alone such a large number of evil spirits! I am just an image, I cannot use spells, I am not even as good as an ordinary ghost, and I am easily swallowed up."

Fang Shaoyan had also seen those undead with his own eyes, so he naturally knew Qi Mu's situation at that time.

"There are so many undead. How many people died to form so many undead?" Fang Shaoyan felt strange when he said this. Get someone's attention? Don't the police in country R find it strange that there are so many missing persons?

Qi Mu straightened his face and said, "Next, what I tell you is the most important thing! By the way, call that old man in. There are some things that you must let him know!"

The old Taoist priest was called in, leaning lazily against the door panel, and said: "You two little lovers, Xu Xujiu, why did you ask me, this light bulb, to come in?"

Qi Mu looked at him coldly, "I have something important to say, from now on, if you have another word of nonsense, I will make you speechless!"

Thinking of Qi Mu's methods, the old Taoist shivered in fright, and stood aside obediently, without making a sound.

"Shaoyan, I remember you told me that the Asakawa family has five forbidden places where you can't go, right?"

Fang Shaoyan nodded, "Asakawa Hitomi once told me that one is the shrine enshrined by Asakawa's family, the other is a dry well in his house, the third is the library, and the fourth is the thousand-year-old cherry tree. The fifth is the address of Master Asakawa's second wife! Among them, I have already seen two forbidden places..."

Although he only went to two places, Fang Shaoyan believed in what Hitomi Asakawa said, because these two places were so weird!

Fang Shaoyan nodded, then took out a piece of paper from the desk, and drew on it with a pen.

Fang Shaoyan leaned over curiously, "Qi Mu, what are you drawing?"

"The layout of Asakawa's house!"

The old Taoist also came up, and shouted in disbelief: "Hey, boy, how did you know the layout of Asakawa's house? , Fang Shaoyan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to draw on the white paper.

Fang Shaoyan recalled that when he first arrived at Qianchuan's house, Qi Mu seemed to have disappeared for a while. At that time, he must have gone to find out the route!

After Qi Mu finished drawing the pattern, Fang Shaoyan looked at the drawing and said, "Qi Mu, I suddenly found out that it would be good for you to change your career to become an architect! This good drawing is really buried!"

Qi Mu was amused by his words, then hooked a place with the pen, and said: "This place is where the cherry tree is..." Then he hooked the place on the left again, and said: "This is the location of the dry well. , and then... here is the location of the library, here is the location of the shrine, and this place is the residence of the dead Mrs. Asakawa..." Qi Mu drew while talking, and then connected these five places together. The Taoist priest was taken aback when he saw it. The five directions are connected together, which happens to be an upside-down pentagram pattern!

"What... does this represent?" Fang Shaoyan asked.

"In other words, these five places are actually a formation!"

Fang Shaoyan said: "I know this is a formation, but what is this formation used for?"

Qi Mu's hand holding the pen stopped on the paper, and frowned, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it's hard for me to judge now! After all, there are so many formations with such patterns, and what they are used for specifically depends on finding the eye of the formation." , I can judge!"

Fang Shaoyan immediately said: "Okay! Let's go to Asakawa's house tonight!"

Qi Mu raised his head and said, "It's me, not us!"

"Hey! Qi Mu, what do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple, I'm going to find out the news, you stay here!"

Fang Shaoyan's face became a little ugly, "Qi Mu, you are looking down on people, why should I stay here and wait for your news? I am the one who came to country r to save people, so what if I sit here and enjoy the benefits!"

Qi Mu approached her and said with a warning tone: "Shaoyan, this time I am standing in front of you for real. If I want to stop you, there are ways!"

"Qi Mu! Are you threatening me?" Fang Shaoyan stared into his eyes unwillingly to show weakness, without losing any momentum.

"Yes! I'm just threatening you. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

"Qi Mu...you... bastard!!" Fang Shaoyan gritted his teeth and said.

The old Taoist saw that the atmosphere fell into a tense stage for a while, and hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, "Oh, you young couple, what's the matter, what a big deal, who will make a difference?"

"Shut up!" Fang Shaoyan gave him a bitter look, and then said to Qi Mu, "Qi Mu, in your eyes, what do you think of me?"

"Of course it's a lifelong lover!"

"Lover?" Fang Shaoyan sneered, "What is the definition of a lover in your heart?"

Qi Mu was taken aback, "Definition?"

"Qi Mu, if you really regard me as a lover, you should put me in an equal position and respect my choice, instead of treating me as a burden and a weak person!"

"I didn't..." Qi Mu's momentum was much weaker, and he dodged his eyes staring at Fang Shaoyan, "I'm just worried..."

"You treat me as a weak person, that's why you worry. As I said, if you treat me as an equal, you won't have so many worries about filtering!"

Qi Mu was speechless.

"I think, you'd better let him go..." The old Taoist said suddenly, "Don't you feel at ease leaving him here? You can rest assured if you keep him by your side. If something happens to him by your side, That's because you are incapable, and you can't blame others...

Fang Shaoyan suddenly felt that this was the first time the old Taoist had said such a decent thing.
