The protagonists have golden fingers

People who had been busy all day ran back home one after another while the day was still bright. The sun hanging on the top of Xishan Mountain reluctantly showed only a small part of its face and was sinking slowly.

In an unremarkable small courtyard, two people suddenly appeared out of thin air.They landed silently and did not disturb anyone.

The two looked around and walked towards the closed door at the same time. When they got closer, they smelled a strange smell.

One of them wrinkled his nose, disgusted by the smell, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the door.

I saw that there was no one in the room, and a pile of unknown wood was scattered on the ground. The unpleasant smell was emitted by this pile of wood.

"It seems that we are one step late again." Gu Zhuangcheng stood at the door with his hands folded around his chest, his tone was neither salty nor weak, and he could not hear any emotion.

He looked around the whole room, it was cleaned cleanly, and there were still steaming meals on the table, it seemed that someone was sitting at the table to eat just now.

Shen Yan squatted down, touched the wood on the ground, fiddled with it for a while, and confirmed: "It's a puppet."

"Both of them?" Gu Zhuangcheng was a little surprised.It's not that he has never seen a puppet that looks like a living person, but he didn't expect that the husband and wife are actually the same kind!

Shen Yan shook her head: "Not two, but four."

"Four?" Gu Zhuangcheng was surprised, "I thought two was the limit, but it turned out to be four?"

"Well, the original "couple", the boy at the butcher's stall, and the woman who occupied the identity of the "wife".If you look closely, you can actually see it. "

Shen Yan picked out the stumps of the four puppets and arranged them separately. Gu Zhuangcheng stepped forward to take a look, and there were indeed small differences.

"Such a small difference, only you can see it." Gu Zhuangcheng said in admiration.

Shen Yan sighed: "But in this way, our clues are broken again."

Hearing this, Gu Zhuangcheng also felt a headache.The two of them searched for the clues they got from Zichuan, peeled off all the way, and finally brought the murderer to justice, but found that the other party was killed by his own puppet in a dilapidated small courtyard. Stinky and maggots!

If Shen Yan hadn't found clues in that small courtyard and followed the puppet's trail all the way to this point, their clues would have been broken long ago!

But now, the four puppets here have been completely destroyed, but I don't know why.

But in this way, even if they know that there is a mastermind behind this matter, it will be difficult to check.

Shen Yan closed her eyes and stood up: "Forget it, let's put this matter aside for the time being. If the people behind the scenes make any changes, we will definitely find out, and it will not be too late to continue to investigate. Now... we should go to the Southwest Military Camp to see gone."

Gu Zhuangcheng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, there has been no news about Su Lanqing for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing now."

"Don't worry, Master Su is an auspicious man, and he thinks there won't be any danger." Shen Yan comforted her, but then she thought about the rumors she heard not long ago, and she was not so sure, "Should?"

Gu Zhuangcheng was almost amused by him, reached out and pinched the other person's face, and smiled under his dissatisfied gaze: "Yan'er, why are you so cute?"

Are you serious when you say a big man is cute?Also, I'm older than you, is it appropriate for you to touch me?

Shen Yan frowned, her cheeks puffed up slightly, but she still didn't hit the person, he was afraid that he would be too angry to hold back his strength, what if he hit someone and broke him?

Fortunately, Gu Zhuangcheng put it away when he saw it, and let go of it after rubbing it for a while, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, as you said, Master Su is auspicious. Besides, if something really happens to him, the palace will not No news."

Thinking of the four hidden guards that Gu Zhuangcheng had left beside the emperor, Shen Yan felt relieved a little.

He nodded, showed a smiling face to Gu Zhuangcheng, and said, "It's not too late, let's leave now?"

"Okay." Gu Zhuangcheng smiled slightly, took the other's hand, and slowly exited the yard.

Before leaving, Shen Yan glanced back, waved a fire, and burned the yard and everything inside.After making sure that everything was reduced to ashes, they left with confidence.

After the two of them left, a white-clothed man walked over unhurriedly, and finally stood on top of the ruins.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at the black ash under his feet, and suddenly bent his lips into a smile, his eyes were like knives.

"Xie's puppet..." He muttered to himself for a while, and the ashes under his feet were suddenly blown away by a gust of wind.

After the wind stopped, the man in white disappeared without a trace, and where he was standing, a piece of tender green grass grew for no reason, faintly, as if there were signs of flowering...

-

Su Lanqing rubbed the center of her brows, listening to the expressionless complaint under her hand, dumbfounded.He looked up at the bruised and purple faces of his men, but he still had a very good conscience and didn't laugh.

With her fingers clenched into fists and close to her mouth, Su Lanqing pretended to cough twice, lowered her head and waved her hands: "This Marquis knows, you can go down."

"Yes." The subordinate with a bruised nose and a swollen face replied forcefully, and left.

After the people walked away, a trace of laughter escaped from Su Lanqing's throat, and finally she couldn't help lying on the table and laughing wildly, looking like she was going mad.

When he had had enough of laughing, he got up from the table wiping away the tears from his laughter. It happened that the one who was sued came back with two bunches of candied haws in his arms.

The short girl has a beautiful appearance, and she smiles with a three-pointed innocence. Seeing the smile remaining on Su Lanqing's lips, the little girl also followed her eyes and asked, "Lanqing, are you in a good mood? What happened?" Anything happy?"

Su Lanqing glanced at the little girl with a smile, and found that the other person looked innocent and not pretending, so she couldn't help but want to laugh again.

He held back his gushing smile, purposely put on a cold face, and asked, "What did you do in the army?"

The little girl observed his expression and found that he was not really angry, so she was relieved and said, "I didn't do anything... They looked down on him first!"

Mentioning this, the little girl became angry, "Lan Qing, you don't know, it's fine for them to look down on people, and... they even teased me! It's not my turn to talk about dangerous things like going to the battlefield, like me In this way, you should stay at home and cook for your man to give birth to a child!"

The little girl held her breath, "I was out of breath for a while, so I just taught them a lesson..."

Well, then those few people in the army who made sarcasm were all bruised and swollen.Su Lanqing rolled her eyes and thought with an unhappy expression.

It's not that he didn't think about what would happen to Qu Yuelou and himself when they left the Holy Church and came to the military camp, but the little girl was brought back by him after all, so it's fine for those soldiers and scoundrels to joke with each other on weekdays, and it's okay to talk to the little girl. If there is no gatekeeper, it's time to call!

The little girl saw that he didn't speak, and the expression didn't look like he was angry, and she was immediately discouraged. She sat on the chair angrily by herself, gnawed on the candied haws and didn't speak.

After a while, Su Lanqing stretched out his hand to touch her head, and said with a smile: "Okay, little ancestor, don't be angry, if someone still speaks rudely next time, you can just teach me a lesson, and I will take care of the rest Deal with it." This is a determined decision to be biased to the end.

The little girl chewed the hawthorn fruit in her mouth, nodded, and felt much better.

Su Lanqing smiled slightly, lowered her head and continued to process the files on the table.For a moment, the only sounds in the study were the little girl eating and the files being flipped.

Qu Yuelou swallowed the last bite of candied haws, and burped contentedly, causing Su Lanqing to look up from the file, and asked helplessly, "You eat so much, I just called the kitchen to give it to you." I made sweet and sour fish, can you still eat it?"

"It can be eaten!" The little girl answered decisively.

"I'm very curious about it." Su Lanqing remembered something, "Isn't it said that you cultivators have already fasted? Why do you still want to eat?"

The little ancestor is, and so are Gu Zhuangcheng, Shen Yan and the others, "Didn't it mean...these foods will add any...burden to you?"

The little girl blinked slowly, looking at Su Lanqing hesitantly.The latter looked back at her with a blank face, and seemed very serious and angry.

The little girl endured it, so she didn't speak harshly in front of Su Lanqing.It's just that the expression is still indescribable.

After thinking about it, she could only ask tactfully: "You...have you read some unreliable legendary storybook recently?"

Su Lanqing: "..."

Wasn't it?

"Although I don't know what was said in the scriptures you read, but I think you seem to have misunderstood us cultivators...?"

Qu Yuelou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Although we people have the word "immortal", we are still mortals after all, essentially no different from other people.

Therefore, if you don’t eat, you will be hungry, if you don’t drink water, you will be thirsty, if you are injured, you will feel pain, if you are sick, you need to see a doctor, and you will eventually die. "

Qu Yuelou looked at Su Lanqing who suddenly realized, and lowered his head with a smile, "So, what you said about bigu... It's just a deceptive ghost story made up by storytellers in teahouses! Even real gods have to experience life, old age, sickness and death , let alone we are mortals?"

"So it's like this..." Su Lanqing sighed, "I thought that immortal cultivators can live a hundred years because you have already embarked on the journey of immortality, and you can rise up step by step from now on."

"If you say that, you are actually right." Qu Yuelou said, "After all, after becoming a cultivator, if you are lucky, it is not a problem to live a hundred and eight thousand years old. Even if you don't live long, at least you may get sick before you die. Much smaller than ordinary people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who want to cultivate immortality."

As she said that, she smiled, "But I've lived for so many years, and I've never met anyone older than me. Even if there were, there wouldn't be too many of them."

Well, you are such a little ancestor.Su Lanqing shook her head and smiled, thinking silently in her heart.
