Qi Shu didn't want the master to follow because he was not yet recovered and he couldn't be too tired. What's more, this is his task, how can I let the master follow along.
But why after he said this, the master seemed not very happy, he couldn't figure it out.
In fact, after Master left the customs this time, his temper became more elusive than in the past. Many times, Qi Shu couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"... If you don't want to come, go back." Unable to understand Qi Shu's absent-minded look, Lu Chengyuan couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Are you listening to me?"
Qi Shu came back to his senses for a moment: "I heard... what were you talking about just now?"
"..."
Perhaps the two had been used to fighting since they were young, and it was really hard for Lu Chengyuan to resist the desire to fight this person. He held down the scabbard, resisted the urge to draw the sword, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I said, when I fought that monster yesterday, I put tracking powder on him."
"Yeah, I heard, so where is the follower pointing?"
"But the smell of tracking powder dissipates here!" Lu Chengyuan said angrily, "You really didn't listen!"
The two were standing on the street at the moment, with Lu Chengyuan's voice, many people looked towards them.
Qi Shu was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked into the distance: "Further from here is the Wuying Mountain. It seems that the monster is really hiding in the Wuying Mountain. The female corpse I saw yesterday is indeed a kidnapped citizen of Lingyang City." .”
Lu Chengyuan: "... Your method of changing the subject is too blunt."
Qi Shu pretended not to hear: "So we still have to go into the mountains to find it."
Lu Chengyuan took a deep breath, and resolutely chose not to argue with him: "But didn't you find nothing after entering the mountain last night, and instead fell into an illusion? Entering the mountain rashly, I'm afraid you will only repeat the same mistakes."
Qi Shu: "Indeed."
Both fell silent.
In the market town in the early morning, many villagers came to the market, people came and went, it was very lively. Both Qi Shu and Lu Chengyuan were outstanding-looking types, and when they stopped on that street, they attracted the attention of many village women.
Qi Shu suddenly thought of something: "You said just now that according to the government's investigation, the monster only catches young, beautiful, unmarried young girls, right?"
"Yes, the taste is very picky. People in Lingyang City are panicking now, especially those who have girls at home. They all stay behind closed doors, for fear of being targeted." Lu Chengyuan held the sword and sighed, "But even That way, you can't be completely relieved. Those women who were taken away last night disappeared in the boudoir."
Qi Shu nodded seriously: "So we can't delay any longer, we must act first."
"You have a solution?"
"You come with me."
A while later, in the bedroom of the inn, Qi Shu shook the cloth bag in his hand, and a table of rouge, gouache, and silk dresses came out.
Lu Chengyuan couldn't believe it: "You took all my money, just to buy these?"
"All I bought are the best in town, don't worry."
"Don't worry." Lu Chengyuan questioned, "What are you buying these for?"
Qi Shu picked out the rouge and gouache on the table in the same way: "Since it is difficult for us to enter the mountain, and we can't sit still, we might as well find a bait to lure the monster out. When the time comes, you and my brothers and sisters will join hands and give him a urn to catch the turtle."
"You don't want to use these to buy innocent women as bait for you, do you?" Lu Chengyuan said righteously, "Qi Shu, how can you be so disregarding the lives of ordinary people?!"
Qi Shu paused, looking at Lu Chengyuan helplessly.
He hesitated to speak for a moment, looked away, and made a troubled look: "You are right, you can't waste the lives of ordinary people, but we really need a bait, so what should we do?"
"Anyway, we can't use ordinary people!"
"Then you might as well come."
"I'm coming and I—huh?"
Qi Shu leaned over and said with a smile: "Second brother, I see that you are handsome, and you have a pair of sentimental eyes. As long as you put on a little makeup, you will definitely be able to fool you."
With a bang.
Lu Chengyuan finally couldn't bear to draw his sword.
There was a pinging sound in the room, and while Qi Shu was protecting the rouge and gouache he had bought so hard, he dodged left and right: "Is there anything wrong with my method? If you enter the mountain and don’t lure people out, how are you going to catch them?”
"Don't forget, the lives and deaths of the three girls who were just taken away last night are still uncertain, shouldn't you rescue them yourself?"
"Also, you made a promise in front of the government to kill the evil spirits yourself. If you don't succeed, not only will you lose face, your parents, but also our Kunlun will be discredited because of you. You have to pay this responsibility up?"
Lu Chengyuan blushed at what he said, and gritted his teeth: "Why don't you pretend?"
Qi Shu: "I'm not as good-looking as you."
Lu Chengyuan stopped moving.
He is indeed good-looking, if not for this, he would not be ranked second on the "Dream Lover Ranking List of Thousands of Male and Female Monks in the Cultivation World". Of course, the first place is still the bastard in front of him.
Ever since he was a child, Lu Chengyuan has been overwhelmed by Qi Shu everywhere. Hearing Qi Shu admit that he is prettier than him, he can't help but feel a little dark.
Qi Shu took the opportunity to continue persuading: "You think, if this is done, it will be due to you alone, and you will get back all the face you lost last night? What is there to consider for a deal that is all about gain and no harm?" ?”
Lu Chengyuan's expression relaxed a little, and the sword in his hand dropped slightly.
"Then..." Lu Chengyuan turned his eyes away, and said with a straight neck, "Then you should draw better."
Worried about affecting Gu Hanjiang's rest, Qi Shu used Lu Chengyuan's money to open another guest room, and deliberately chose a room far away from the original one.
But this can't be hidden from the ears of Ling Xiao Xianzun.
As long as he wanted to, even if Qi Shu was thousands of miles away, he could still find him.
"—Stop laughing, lighten up!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my hands are shaking, puff hahaha..."
"Qi Shu, are you finished? If you don't do it, let me go!"
"Fucking..."
Gu Hanjiang opened his eyes from meditation.
His chest was still aching due to the poor circulation of his breath, he coughed lightly twice, his brows furrowed slightly.
The room was quiet, completely different from the other room not far away.
Qi Shu always had an obedient and polite appearance in front of him, and he was careful in speaking and doing things, and treated him politely. As a disciple, Qi Shu did even better than most.
But Gu Hanjiang has never seen the appearance of having fun, joking, and fighting with his peers.
there has never been.
The palms that landed on the bed were clenched tightly, Gu Hanjiang frowned, and he didn't realize that there was another black air between his brows.
"I said it's pretty, why don't you believe me." Qi Shu held back a smile and took two steps back, with his hands behind his back.
Lu Chengyuan gritted his teeth: "If you hand over the mirror, I will believe you."
Frankly, he doesn't look that bad with makeup on. Qi Shu put a light layer of makeup on him, drew his eyebrows, and pricked his red lips. If you only look at that face, it's really a bit of a fake.
It's a pity that he is too tall, and it looks awkward no matter how he wears a long skirt.
Qi Shu glanced at him twice and couldn't hold back his smile. Lu Chengyuan took the opportunity to step forward and reached out to snatch the makeup mirror hidden behind him.
The door was pushed open at this moment.
Gu Hanjiang stood outside the door with a blank expression on his face.
The posture of the two people in the room at the moment is really not elegant. Lu Chengyuan had almost pushed Qi Shu to the corner. He supported the wall with one hand, and reached behind Qi Shu to snatch the mirror with the other. Looking at it from the angle of the door, it seemed as if he was going to hug him into his arms.
The two people in the room were stunned for a moment, then quickly separated.
"Master!" "Immortal!"
Gu Hanjiang walked in slowly, glanced at Lu Chengyuan: "Go out."
"Immortal... Immortal?" Lu Chengyuan was still wearing that funny dress, and he was stunned when he heard this.
Qi Shu instinctively sensed something was wrong, and when he took a closer look, he saw a black air appearing between Gu Hanjiang's brows.
Damn, why are you sick at this time.
He didn't care much, and hurriedly pushed Lu Chengyuan out: "Second brother, go to my room to rest for a while, Master has something to say to me."
Lu Chengyuan: "But..."
"Go, go, don't you listen to the words of the immortal, go!"
With a bang, the person was locked out of the door, and a confinement spell was cast on the door.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, that cold body suddenly covered him from behind.
Gu Hanjiang grabbed his hand and pushed him against the door.
"Why do you hide from me?"
The voice almost uttered close to Qi Shu's ear, instantly making half of his body numb, and flinched: "Master, I... I didn't hide..."
The force of clamping the wrist suddenly increased.
"Hiss...it hurts." Qi Shu was in so much pain that his eyes were covered with mist, and he was still coaxing patiently, "Master, please let go of me first, please, you are going... to go crazy again."
"Why do you hide from me?" Gu Hanjiang still questioned.
Immortal Ling Xiao's temper has always been elusive, and it is even worse after he became mad, completely unreasonable.
Fortunately, this is not the first time this happened. Qi Shu tried to relax and explained: "The disciple is just discussing the plan to get rid of the demon with Junior Brother Lu, I really didn't hide..."
"Exorcism." Gu Hanjiang's voice was low and cold, "Can't I?"
Qi Shu was taken aback.
"He can help you, can't I?"
Qi Shu turned his head and met Gu Hanjiang's gaze.
The black air between Gu Hanjiang's eyebrows was already very obvious, and even a trace of bright red flashed faintly in his eyes. Those eyes looked at him, and there was a kind of frightening burning in the deep pupils, which almost dare not look at.
What does he mean by this...
Qi Shu asked in a daze, "Master, are you minding this matter?"
Gu Hanjiang didn't answer.
Qi Shu stared at those eyes closely, and when he spoke again, his voice trembled a little: "Master, I asked Lu Chengyuan for help, are you unhappy?"
"Is it because of this that you suddenly—"
Gu Hanjiang suddenly groaned in pain.
He frowned, let go of Qi Shu's grip, and began to cough violently. He coughed badly, took a few steps back, put his hands on the edge of the table, and even knocked over the makeup that Qi Shu hadn't had time to clean up.
"Master!"
Qi Shu had never seen his master like this before, so frightened that he didn't bother to ask any questions, he quickly helped him to the bed, and channeled his spiritual power to help smooth the air.
It took a while before Gu Hanjiang regained his composure.
"I..."
"Master, don't talk." Qi Shu said, "Your spiritual energy deficit is worse than last time, and you need to rest for a while."
Gu Hanjiang closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing that the master's condition was better, Qi Shu helped him to lie down, in exchange for getting the spiritual power from the other party's palm.
He knelt by the bed, looked at the other person's sleeping face, but his mind was full of Gu Hanjiang's words just now.
"He can help you, can't I?"
Why do you say that.
Even if Qi Shu tried his best to tell himself that the master was unconscious when he was in a mad state, and he should not think too much about what he did, it was still difficult to convince himself that there was no other meaning in this sentence.
This sentence is too suggestive, if it is replaced by anyone, it will appear as if it is...
jealous.
Qi Shu's heart beat faster, and his mouth suddenly became dry.
No, can't you
