Chapter 93
Half of the dark blue wick ignites from the top of the copper candle, but its halo does not appear outward, but instead retracts into the interior and continues to extend downward, gradually transforming into a peculiar dark green in the process.
Lu Jiu sat on the rattan chair with his head down, staring at the bronze candle with his eyes slightly dull.
Ao~Ao~
The blue-purple kitten's cry suddenly became calm, and with its cry, aerosols that were exactly the same as those on the hillside the day before yesterday surged out of Lu Jiu's body. There was also dark green light in the hollowed-out area of the copper candle. It was first entangled with these aerosols, and finally turned into a strange gas and returned to Lu Jiu's body.
The optical fiber of the gas lamp in the house was exposed, but it was twisted on the body sitting in the rattan chair. If someone watched it next to him, he would find that Lu Jiu's body began to appear translucent and strange at this moment.
Lu Jiu, who was still in a trance the previous second, suddenly woke up, as if he had been holding his breath in the water for a long time, but he found that he could not even sense the changes in the air flow. Then the feeling of being unable to breathe surged into his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
However, as time goes by, this strange feeling gradually faded.
It’s not that Lu Jiu can breathe, but that he suddenly found that he would not faint like ordinary people without breathing, except for his physical discomfort...Where is a corpse that needs to breathe?
Smack ~
The cargo box fell to the ground, and half of the shroud inside turned out. Lu Jiu widened his eyes in shock, and saw the rattan chair under him through his legs.
Standing up, a breeze happened to be rolling up the drizzle in the courtyard and falling under the eaves, passing through Lu Jiu's body, slapped on the rattan chair and made a crisp sound. Lu Jiu felt that she began to float again, as if she would go with the wind in the next second.
He... has become a ghost-like existence?
Ao!
With a sharp howl, all perceptions return, Lu Jiu leaned back uncontrollably and fell back to the rattan chair.
"Sure enough, only a living zombie can truly use this special trick... Remember, the dark candle can only be lighted for 10 minutes, and it will become invalid if it is out of date... The content of the task is in the note. You can take a closer look. When the task is completed, please inform Liuli."
Without any explanation, the cat with a strange pupil disappeared completely after leaving only one sentence. He had other things to do, and it was impossible for him to stay by Lu Jiu's side all the time.
Lu Jiu did not pay attention to the location of the cat with strange eyes anymore. He is now immersed in the sequelae brought by the special state just now.
This is an extremely special feeling. Lu Jiu could feel that his actions were not bound by any restrictions, and he was even much more brisk. Objects in reality could no longer interfere with his actions. He even vaguely realized that in his state at that time, he could completely pass through the walls and door posts like a cat with a different pupil.
"Does the trick, the underworld?...Is it the meaning of burning the candle into the underworld?"
Looking at the "unusual" copper candle in his hand, Lu Jiu really didn't understand where this kind of instrument with such special abilities came from. After a brief silence, his eyes turned to the side, looking at the kitten that was still looking at him on the armrest of the rattan chair, and raised his hand and wanted to touch its head.
"You should be what he said, Liuli, can you understand what I said?
Oh ~
He slapped Lu Jiu's hand away, Liuli raised her head, screamed with a proud voice, and then pointed to her mouth again.
This is hungry.
"When I came back, I had already asked the nearby restaurant to cook. The time is coming soon. Please wait."
I knew that this should be the same type of cat demon they were boarding. When I put it on my side, I probably acted as an eyeliner and a sound tube, but Lu Jiu didn't care much about this.
In the current situation, he could only take one step at a time. At least before finding a counter-attack opportunity, Lu Jiu did not intend to resist the arrangement of the alien cat.
Lu Jiu knew that he now had a very important value to the cat with the strange-eyed cat, just like he had to use the dark candle in front of him. The latter did not choose to force him to force him as soon as he came up. Obviously, he was worried that he would just be forced to death if he was forced.
Retracting his thoughts that had spread out again, spreading the note in his hand, and glanced at the content above, Lu Jiu frowned and stood up, and his hand holding the note suddenly tightened.
"Yu Tin Qi Soul Night Lights the Candle and Go to Xiuqifang... Ask Tang Jingyi..."
He was muttering the contents of the note, and his eyes fell on the shroud in the cargo box.
Shexiang Town, Shexiang Town again!
The prison sentence slaughtered Shexiang Town three years ago. What exactly did you want?
Now that bandits gather in Zhiyuan Mansion, the first thing that comes to mind is to find the heart-wrenching ghost by finding the secrets of Shexiang Town. Jingyesi rushed to Shexiang Town for this reason, saying that it was a suppression of bandits. In Lu Jiu's opinion, 80% of them also wanted to figure out the local situation. The Seminary people outside the Qingding Academy and the current strange-eyed cat...
These people have different purposes, but they all revolve around Shexiang Town.
What does the cat with strange eyes want? The traces of the heart-cut ghost?
No, he rescued himself from the place where he did the human experiment, and learned about the entanglement between himself and the heart-glazing ghost in Changyi City. If it was for the heart-glazing ghost, he could use himself to lure the heart-glazing ghost out. The fact is that he didn't even care why Lu Jiu was targeted by the heart-glazing ghost, and he hadn't asked a word so far.
Could it be that what he wants is the secret in Shexiang Town...
Will this be your own chance?
There was another knock on the door outside the door. This time it was the restaurant where the food was delivered.
Lu Jiu took the things and didn't intend to put them in the house, but instead moved a small table and placed them under the eaves.
The kitten seemed to have been hungry for a long time. As soon as Lu Jiu brought the dishes to the table, it pounced on it, sniffed it, and fiddled it with its claws. Lu Jiu also wanted to stretch out his chopsticks and quickly ate a few bites while the dishes were not harmed by it. As a result, the guy immediately let out a low roar, which was quite a bite that Lu Jiu dared to eat the chopsticks and rush to fight him desperately.
"Liuli, this name sounds nice, your personality is really..."
Helplessly put down the chopsticks, Lu Jiu didn't plan to grab something from a cat to eat. He turned around and took out a piece of juice ice and stuffed it into his mouth. He lay back in the recliner and closed his eyes. The contents on the note still appeared in his mind.
Chen Lide died before Zhengyang Festival. Calculate the time. His first seven soul-returning nights should be tomorrow night.
By doing this, there should be time to chat with the green-eyed cat, and I can't tell you that I can get some new information.
Stay at home until the evening, put away the cargo box, and Lu Jiu left home and headed for the south of the city.
I thought Liuli was the eyeliner left by the cat with strange eyes and would follow him when he left, but I didn't expect that the little guy disappeared after eating.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it follows in another elusive way, but Lu Jiu doesn't care.
I first went to say hello to Manager Chen and asked him to help contact Qinglan Demon Hunting Team, hoping to find an opportunity to meet them.
On the one hand, the three rampages of Changyi trip consumed most of Lu Jiu's not much of the qi-level monster blood, and was eager to replenish it. On the other hand, he wanted to use their way to find out what the cat came from, which is able to host human souls and has such special extraordinary abilities.
After saying hello, he went to Liu's craftsmanship workshop. With the confused gaze of the craftsman, he handed over the mechanical arm guard that had just been severely damaged within two days to repair.
After finishing the chores at hand, Lu Jiu came to the White Fish Porcelain Store.
"The shopkeeper replied yesterday and asked about Mr. Lu. You haven't come to the door these days, and I thought..."
The old man who was looking at the store was obviously surprised to see Lu Jiu appear. It was obvious that Lu Jiu suddenly disappeared after getting the Miao Pill, which made him have some bad associations. Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that it was not auspicious, so he changed his words temporarily.
"Today, a guest came to visit the shopkeeper. If you want to go up, please allow me to report it in advance."
"It's okay, I'll just wait here."
Lu Jiu leaned against the counter and waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem. He could still wait in the past few minutes.
Hu Sanniang's friend... Lu Jiu couldn't help but see a few old men and old ladies gathered around the table to drink tea and knead melon seeds, thinking that they might as well go back today and come and take a look tomorrow.
As a result, when the old man from the store came down, Lu Jiu had not spoken yet, the former said that Hu Sanniang asked him to come up and had something to say.
What else can I do? Lu Jiu had to ask a group of old people to prepare to step into the elevator. However, when he really arrived on the third floor, the few people in front of him were surprised.
In addition to Hu Sanniang who was still sitting in the window and sucking cigarettes, there were two others in the store, one middle-aged man and the other young girl.
The former is wearing a long gown and a folding fan in his hand. He is elegant and looks like a teacher. The latter is tall and has a soft eyebrows and eyes. Although he is just a little bit of makeup on his face, it is extraordinary. When Lu Jiu looked over, he nodded and smiled, and was generous.
"Zhao Lei." "Liu Yanyu."
The two bowed to each other first. Their actions were somewhat of a marvelous atmosphere. Judging from their appearance, the three of them were so different in age and became friends again. Then these two people clearly should be demon veins.
Lu Jiu hurriedly replied to the gift, and then his eyes turned to Hu Sanniang.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I thought you were dead. It seems that you succeeded?"
Getting up from the recliner, Hu Sanniang looked up and down with interest and said.
"It can only be said to be a lucky person."
This is not false. If it weren't for the help of the dark golden heart, Lu Jiu would have been almost cold now. He paused and continued,
"Do you need help today? According to the previous agreement, there should be a few days left."
Even though he said this, Lu Jiu was actually thinking about how to end the employment relationship before coming.
After all, the latter can provide information about the demon vein masters, Lu Jiu has now found a replacement, that is, the blue-eyed cat. What's more, he needs to focus on solving his own problems for a while, rather than continuing to follow Hu Sanniang's actions.
"No need, I've been very busy recently. There are other candidates for the assistant. The previous agreement has been invalidated... I think you should have something to do, right?"
Unexpectedly, Hu Sanniang proposed a request to dismiss the contract before Lu Jiu. As for how she saw that Lu Jiu was very busy, it was naturally because of Miao Dan.
If nothing is important, no one with a normal mind will take this pill with great side effects.
If it were other times, Lu Jiuxing might have rude a few words, but now he nodded directly to agree.
Before leaving, his eyes turned around the other two, and Lu Jiu also had some different thoughts in his mind. At this critical moment, Hu Sanniang met these two friends.
To reminisce about the past?
It's not entirely true that I'm afraid...
