The next morning.
Qin Gengyun left the house and was about to go to Lingdan Square to order some pills.
But I saw many neighbors standing outside, talking with each other, and their expressions were a bit serious.
Taoist couple Chen Fang and Zhang Chengdao next door were also there. Qin Gengyun stepped forward and asked them:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, Fellow Daoist Chen, what's going on?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, something happened again in Qingluo Lane last night."
Chen Fang said to Qin Gengyun, with a worried look on her face.
Qin Gengyun's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked: "Is it a ghost cultivating the path of robbery again?"
A neighbor next to him said: "Yes, last night outside Qingluo Lane, a talisman master was killed, and his talisman seals and spiritual stones were looted."
The so-called ghost cultivators refer to those evil cultivators who rob or even kill other monks.
Falling into the ghost path is cultivating for ghosts.
Recently, there have been incidents of ghost cultivators and robbers happening in Yunling Town.
Most of those attacked and robbed by ghost cultivators were alchemists and talisman masters, because they usually carried valuable medicinal materials and talisman seals with them.
This kind of incident has happened three or four times. One of the alchemists was killed on the spot because of the fierce resistance.
It is said that the outer sect of Zhenyang Sect will soon send someone to investigate.
I didn't expect that this ghost cultivator would be so rampant and kill another person.
"There is no need to panic. We all know that there are not many wealthy people living in Zhaiyu Lane. I guess the ghost cultivator doesn't like this place either."
"It's better to be careful. I have to go home earlier every night these days."
The audience talked for a while, and Qin Gengyun said goodbye to Chen Fang and Zhang Chengdao and left Zhaiyu Alley.
Today, the master of Lingdan Square has not come back yet, and there is nothing going on in the workshop.
Yang Fengshan left before Chen Shi. As soon as he left, Qin Gengyun also left early and came to the night market before it got dark.
Noila Mo was setting up a stall, and she was still wearing Yixiu's uniform, a set of blue outfit that made her slender legs tighter and more symmetrical.
There was sweat on her forehead. She must have just finished delivering today's letters and items and hurried to the night market.
Qin Gengyun stepped forward to help. Noila Mo looked up and said in surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, why are you here? Didn't you agree to check out the alchemy furnace tomorrow night?"
Qin Gengyun said: "Friend Daoist Mo, I heard that there was another ghost cultivator in Qingluo Lane last night. I came here to remind you to go back early in the past few days."
Mo Xiaolan’s red phoenix eyes curved up and her smile was bright:
"Fellow Daoist Qin is really thoughtful. Don't worry, I will close the stall early tonight."
"Okay, I'll leave first."
Qin Gengyun said goodbye to Mo Xiaolan. It was already dark. He was vigilant along the way, paying attention to his surroundings from time to time. He held a "divine walking talisman" in his hand. If something went wrong, he could stick it to his lap and run away at any time.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and Qin Gengyun breathed a sigh of relief as he soon stepped into Zhaiyu Alley.
Before he reached the door of the house, Qin Gengyun suddenly stopped and looked at his window from a distance.
Sure enough, I saw a petite figure standing in front of the window, and seemed to feel something. The next moment, the figure disappeared.
Qin Gengyun smiled, walked to the house he rented, opened the door and went in.
The aroma fills the room, and a pot of minced meat porridge with chopped green onion and delicious flavor is placed on the table.
There was a porcelain bowl next to it. Qiu Zhihe was sitting at the table. Seeing him come back, his expression was indifferent:
"Let's eat."
Today, Qiu Zhihe wore a Bixia Luo Yi with a black tulle on the outside. The lapel fell above her chest, and the black gauze was half-covered and half-exposed, revealing a small section of snow-white.
Although Qiu Zhihe is petite in stature, she has a cool temperament. The areas that should be highlighted are very prominent, and she has charm in whatever clothes she wears.
It's just that her clothes are almost all black, which looks a bit strange.
Qin Gengyun walked over and sat down and said with a smile, "Didn't fellow Taoist Qiu finish his porridge today?"
Qiu Zhihe looked at him indifferently, Qin Gengyun said no more and quietly drank his porridge.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu."
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Qin Gengyun suddenly said:
"I want to buy a second-hand bronze stove. Fellow Taoist Mo, who lives across the street, knows a street vendor who resells old things. I have been going to the night market to ask her for help in the past few nights, so yesterday we will go back to Zhaiyu Lane together."
Qiu Zhihe sat indifferently and said nothing.
Qin Gengyun smiled and said:
"By the way, ghost cultivators have been killing people at night lately. Fellow Daoist Qiu, please don't go out at night."
"Ghost cultivating the path of tribulation?"
Qiu Zhihe's eyes flashed, and he finally responded and asked:
"Where?"
Qin Gengyun said: "I heard that a Talisman Master was killed in Qingluo Lane last night. If this ghost cultivator continues to commit crimes, maybe the outer sect of Zhenyang Sect will send someone over."
"Zhenyang Sect sent someone here?" Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly, her pretty round face covered with frost, and asked again:
"What if the ghost cultivator never appears again?"
Qin Gengyun said: "Then Zhenyang Sect probably won't send anyone here. In a small place like Yunling Town, a large sect like this won't care as long as nothing big happens."
Qiu Zhihe nodded slightly, the cold light in his eyes fleeting.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what's wrong?"
Qin Gengyun asked.
"nothing."
Qiu Zhihe stopped talking.
Qin Gengyun looked at her, got up, went to the kitchen, took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks, filled a bowl of porridge, and placed it in front of her.
"You can have a drink too."
Qiu Zhihe lowered his head to look at the steaming meat porridge in the bowl, and then looked at Qin Gengyun:
"You really want me to drink?"
Qin Gengyun was a little confused: "Of course, husband and wife naturally have to eat together. You haven't already eaten, right?"
After all, he came back very early today. Isn't Qiu Zhihe not willing to wait for him to have dinner with her?
"good."
But he saw that Qiu Zhihe had already agreed, lowered his head and drank the porridge silently.
Qin Gengyun was startled. He didn't expect that she would be so docile today, and he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart.
It turns out that it’s interesting to capture a wife with a cold personality.
After the two of them finished the porridge, Qiu Zhihe packed up the pots, bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen. Qin Gengyun followed him in and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you've had a hard time cooking porridge. I'll wash the dishes."
Qiu Zhihe walked straight out of the kitchen. Qin Gengyun scratched her cheek. It seemed that she had no intention of washing the dishes...
Qin Gengyun quickly washed the dishes and came out. Suddenly he felt a surge of heat in his lower abdomen. He was stunned and looked at Qiu Zhihe.
But he saw that she had taken off her coat and was sitting on the bed with her arms wrapped around her.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, did you add medicinal herbs to this porridge?"
Two red clouds appeared on Qiu Zhihe's round and pretty face, and her voice was still cold:
"It's time to rest."
Qin Gengyun thought of that day when Qiu Zhihe said that if she drank the Shiquan Dabu porridge, the two heavens of ice and fire in her body would be worse, and he might not be able to hold on for thirty breaths, and he felt something bad in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what are you doing...?!"
The next moment, the candles in the room went out.
Less than thirty breaths later.
[Couple relationship: 8/100. If the relationship between the couple is too low, there will be no bonus]
[Acquire practice points: 2]
Qin Gengyun looked at the illusory words floating in the air, feeling a mixture of sadness and joy in his heart.
Fortunately, the relationship between husband and wife with Qiu Zhihe has improved by 3 points. It is obvious that the night chat last night had an effect.
Sadly, as Qiu Zhihe said, after drinking Dabu porridge, she felt even worse. She actually couldn't hold on for thirty breaths!
This is too bullying!
Qin Gengyun clenched his fists. Next time I will regroup and treat you well!
Feeling sad and angry in his heart, Qiu Zhihe suddenly turned over in the darkness and looked straight at him with a pair of cold eyes.
...
Less than thirty breaths later.
[Couple relationship: 8/100. If the sentiment is too low, there will be no bonus]
[Acquire practice points: 2]
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, let me ask, can I not add any more ingredients to the porridge tomorrow?"
"......Can."
"ah!"
...
Zishi.
The exhausted Qin Gengyun fell into a deep sleep.
In the darkness, a petite figure got out of bed and came to the window.
She quietly looked at the house on the opposite left side
It was dark and windy outside the window, and the figure inside the house was motionless.
An hour later, when it was ugly, the night was deep.
The door of the house on the left opposite side opened slightly, and three figures in black robes sneaked out of the house and walked out of Zhaiyu Lane.
inside the house.
In the flashing red light, the petite projection on the wall slowly grew taller.
After a moment, a tall and plump figure flashed out of Qin Gengyun's house.
