"What's wrong with you?" Ji Sheng couldn't move Qi Wushen's shoulder, so he changed direction and walked in front of him.

But the young man stubbornly turned his body in one direction, not looking at Ji Sheng.

"Huh? Why are you crying?" After all, Ji Sheng's eyes were sharp, seeing his friend's eye sockets were all red.

"Do you have something to hide from me?" The expression on Ji Sheng's face suddenly became very serious.

Tick, tick.

After a few breaths, the boy slowly opened his mouth.

"Where can it be, chick." When he turned his head again, a sunny smile appeared on his face.

It's just that the smile didn't touch the eyes, and there was clearly a trace of gloom hidden in it.

"Then why are you crying?" Ji Sheng asked.

"Hey, it's nothing." Qi Wushen waved his hands and said, "Didn't you just ask how I could meet that brat?"

He rubbed the corners of his eyes, his fingertips were soaked with crystal tears, and he stretched out his fingers in front of Ji Sheng.

"Well, that's it, that's all."

Ji Sheng showed a suspicious look: "Huh? Are you a rhinoceros?"

Qi Wushen: "..."

Ji Sheng only heard that rhinoceros tears can make ghosts show their original shape, but he never knew that human tears can also have this effect.

Qi Wushen briefly explained to him, it was nothing more than that all of them had ascended to the ascension, although they didn't have Yuhu and couldn't use the immortal power, they still had immortal bones and were not very human.

Ji Sheng heard him speak clearly and logically, his doubts gradually dissipated, but suddenly he remembered something.

He always felt that just now Qi Wushen deliberately drew his attention from the painting scroll back to the thief.

Ji Sheng held up the portrait he found on the thief's body just now, and compared it to Qi Wushen several times back and forth, suspicion returned to his heart.

"You really didn't lie to me?"

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that his friend was somewhat similar to the person in this portrait, but after careful comparison, he felt strange.

--how to say?

Although the person in the portrait has a bit of fairy spirit, his facial features are more heroic, with the demeanor of a military general. If you think about his usual expression, he should be serious, even if he smiles, he should be very restrained.

But Qi Wushen is different.

Qi Wushen's smile is very bright, and sometimes it is quite open. In the eyes of some people, that kind of smile will feel particularly scorching, like the scorching sun at noon.Not only that, Qi Wushen's brows and eyes are somewhat soft, a feeling between a teenager and an adult, and although the person in this portrait is not old, he is a real adult.

Thinking of this, Ji Sheng was slightly relieved, but his expression was still tangled.

"No, no, I've definitely seen this person before. He looks familiar, but he looks familiar." Ji Sheng pressed his fingers on the center of his brows, his expression was extremely confused, his posture was clearly right, and he would never let go if he didn't want to understand.

Qi Wushen: "..."

He didn't want to start a fight, but now he seems to have to talk.

"Give you a reminder." The boy said.

Ji Sheng's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "If you say it, I know what you must know."

Qi Wushen: "..."

He took a deep breath and spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"The ancestral hall in the village." The five words fell lightly.

"Oh—" Ji Sheng suddenly realized.

"I remembered, the statue in the altar, the general riding on it!"

Qi Wushen nodded, slightly relieved.

"I said you don't gossip, maybe it's some local belief, don't worry about it, it's not important, let's settle the thief first."

Ji Sheng obviously didn't stop.

"Hey, I remember that in Zhenggu City, the fortune teller told the story of the righteous general who also worshiped Taoism. Now this." He patted the portrait and continued, "This one looks like the same A general, you said...they can't be the same person, right?"

Qi Wushen frowned twice, thinking about how to get this matter over with, at this moment, not far away, the sound of feet stepping on leaves accompanied by the sound of silver bells.

The two looked at the person together.

"Master."

"Your Majesty."

Qiqi bows.

"What's going on at this time?" Zong Wuyu raised his finger lightly, pointing at the man who fell on the ground.

The thief had already passed out due to the pain, Qi Wushen leaned over and sniffed him, to confirm that he was still alive, explained the matter clearly in a few words, and was about to say more, when he caught a glimpse of a towering ancient tree not far away from the corner of his vision.

Among the emerald green shade, a certain branch moves without wind. If you look carefully, you can faintly see a touch of vermilion in the green sky.

——It was the flamingo who followed.

Ever since the few of them descended to earth, the flamingo has been moving surreptitiously, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

When Qi Wushen was wandering around the house several times, he saw the flamingo, and it was not difficult to guess that "Bai Bai" had never gone far, and had been quietly waiting near the house, silently protecting a few people.

——And the situations that can make it show its whereabouts, without exception, are all critical situations.

Qi Wushen thought for a while, and silently added a sentence in his heart.

——Last time, this stupid bird deliberately soaked in the river, and it definitely didn't count that it made Master completely drenched.

Thinking of this, he asked Zong Wu: "Master, why are you here? But what did you find?"

He has no substantive evidence, but Master's ability to use immortal power at this time means that he can feel more signals, such as: ghost aura, monster aura and so on.

Zong Wu said nothing, folded his hands, and turned the yin-yang bracelet on his wrist a few times calmly.

After waiting for a while, he said: "It's nothing, I just heard some movement."

——Master is lying.

Only for a moment, Qi Wushen had an insight into this matter, but he would not ask.

He just said: "It's windy outside, then Master, let's go back first."

"Okay." Zong Wu nodded.

Qi Wushen and Ji Sheng moved the thief who was eaten by the ghost into the house.

Just a few steps in, Qi Wushen let go.

Ji Sheng became anxious all of a sudden: "Hey, hey, brother, what are you doing? Laziness is not like this. I can't move back by myself!"

"No." Qi Wushen waved his hands and said, "You are waiting for me here, I forgot something."

He didn't forget to bring anything at all, but just now Zong Wu's reaction was too strange, Qi Wushen was inexplicably worried when he thought of the kid in the compass, so he wanted to see what Master was hiding.

"Hey, hey, isn't your lie too fake?"

Ji Sheng howled blindly behind him, but the young man had already walked away.

-

Outside the house, the flamingo leaped and flew, and landed steadily on the branch above Zong Wu's head.

"Any clues?" Zong Wu asked.

"No, I stood high just now, and I have a panoramic view of the surrounding area for several miles. I didn't see anyone, let alone the strange trace in your mouth."

Zong Wu frowned lightly and remained silent for a long time.

The flamingo jumped off the branch and stood in front of Zong Wu, shaking its slender neck.

"So, what did you notice just now? If you are ghostly, it should be..."

"No." Zong Wu shook his head, "It's monster energy."

He paused and added: "And it's the smell of the peacock demon."

Hearing this, the flamingo's mung bean eyes flashed a little, as if they were alert to the danger.

"The peacock demon you're talking about isn't... the one you met when you went down to the realm?"

"Yes, but no—" Zong Wu barely stopped speaking halfway.

At this moment, his fingertips shone with golden light.

It hit somewhere behind the tree with a bang.

With a sound of "Dang", a stand-in doll with an exaggerated smile on the corner of its mouth fell, and the yellow talisman stained with cinnabar slid down lightly along with the stand-in doll.

"Puppet art? Someone was on the tree just now?" The flamingo kicked its feet and flew upwards.

It rummaged through the trees, but found nothing suspicious.

"Who is it, who walks so unknowingly?"

Zong Wu's eyes were heavy, but he still didn't speak.

At the same time, in the courtyard.

Ji Sheng was struggling with how to drag the sleepy thief in by himself.On the one hand, he wanted to ask Xiaozhu to help, but on the other hand, he was worried, what if the thief suddenly woke up and took the opportunity to escape after he went?

Under the entanglement between the two, he was about to tear off his clothes and twist them into strips of cloth to tie up the thief. At this moment, Qi Wushen came over.

"You're finally back. I almost tore off my clothes and ran naked just now." Ji Sheng said.

Qi Wushen: "..."

Sometimes he really doesn't understand, the Ji family is all old antiques like Ji Yuan, who is this friend who is too lively and unrestrained?

Ji Sheng said again: "Tell me, what did you do just now?"

Qi Wushen told his friend what he had observed just now, concealed the part about the "peacock demon" and "lower realm", and said: "I was mainly worried about your brother coming, but the master noticed it and didn't tell We, and then stand alone."

Qi Wushen's worry was not fake, it was indeed Zong Wu's doing to resist everything by himself.

It's just that, apart from this layer, he has deeper worries that he hasn't expressed yet.

At this moment, the thief who was lying on the ground and sleeping deeply suddenly started to move.

His hands and feet were placed at right angles, and when he went up and down, the whole movement was extremely uncoordinated, like a marionette being manipulated by someone.

"Damn, what's going on?" Seeing the strange scene in front of him, Ji Sheng bent down to check.

At this moment--

With a "bang" it exploded from the void, the thief's hands and feet drooped down, and the string of the puppet exploded, sending out an invisible shock wave, which hit the two of them violently.

"Be careful."

Suddenly speaking, a black mist with a foul smell emanated from between the thief's brows, and pierced Ji Sheng's heart.If it wasn't for Qi Wushen's swift action to pull people away, the smoke must have penetrated deep into his heart.

"What is this?" Ji Sheng supported his chest with lingering fear, halfway he stretched out his hand to catch the black mist like a demon, but luckily Qi Wushen knocked it away with the handle of his fan.

The two stood side by side, and Qi Wushen heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the cloud of black air dissipate slowly in the air.

"I don't know what that is either."

Qi Wushen paused and continued to add: "But I guess it's a monster, and it's a peacock monster."
