The people who come in the fifth group cannot be regarded as guests.
A short old man with sinister eyebrows and a mismatched sergeant's hat walked at the front of an inspection team.
As soon as he saw Lu Ran, he trotted forward and held Lu Ran's hands. The scene was really like a big mouse standing on two feet.
This old man, whose surname is Chu, lives up to his name. He is the local security inspector and a regular guest of He Lai Inn.
It is also a "plague" that local people avoid.
Before speaking, Chu Yi burped: "Little... little brother, you're late!" He stretched his head and looked around: "Old... where is the boss lady? Where is the second shopkeeper?"
The familiar look showed that Lu Ran had only met him four or five times. What he didn't know was that he thought Lu Ran was his nephew.
After a lot of effort, Lu Ran broke free from Chu Yi's withered hands like an old rag and said, "Sir, you nobles are so forgetful. Didn't I tell you last time I came here? Didn't the boss lady and the second shopkeeper go there? The mountains are well stocked! We’ve been gone for less than half a month.”
Lu Ran helped Chu Yi sit down, beckoned to the boy to get three more bottles of good wine, and put them into his hands: "Master, what kind of wind brings you here?"
Chu Yi took a sip of wine from the pot, glanced at the blood-stained ground, and began to order his men to start working. Then he said to Lu Ran: "Little brother, I'm here to wipe... my butt. I was originally at the party. The Eight Immortals pooped and didn’t even have time to wipe their butts, so they were sent here. There’s nothing you can do about it, the immortals’ butts are much more important than mine!”
After taking a sip of wine, he actually spoke more fluently.
Lu Ran knew that this was the daily routine of Chu Yi, an alcoholic, and it did not affect his handling of cases, so he asked: "So...how do I wipe this butt?"
"We will carry away the monsters and corpses, and the government will compensate for the damage. As for the people involved in tonight's incident, Brother Lu, you know, just pretend that nothing happened." Chu Yi He took another sip and saw that the bottle of wine had reached the bottom: "Oh, these guys and I are very busy."
"What is the origin of this immortal master named Xu, and how can he have such energy?" Lu Ran asked.
"Well, I won't hide it from you. I'm not familiar with this immortal master. In fact, he is not a Taoist priest from Daguan. I, Lao Chu, am also unlucky. I thought I would never encounter a life case again in my life, but I didn't expect this... As soon as the Immortal Master comes, it’s not even four days, but it’s already been three!”
"Three attacks?" Lu Ran was shocked, as if he saw the immortal master's sword appearing in front of him again, one sword, two swords... three swords meant three lives. It was really a beautiful and cruel sword.
"No, we are together here, together in Yifangtan, and together with the Eight Immortals." Chu Yi continued: "Today's together is okay, after all, that thing appeared, but the first two were... right , you also know Lao Wang who owns the butcher shop in Yifangtan."
"This..." Lu Ran was speechless for a moment.
"It's all like this, cutting two with one sword. The sword skills are really powerful, but you think this is chopping firewood. It's life-threatening. It really kills me. The key is that this immortal master doesn't just come here to enjoy the mountains. Water, I don’t know how many people will die.”
The second jug of wine was also empty.
Lu Ran asked the waiter to bring three more pots, and then asked: "Then no one can take care of it?"
"Control?" Chu Yi smiled, "Can you control the sky so that it doesn't wind and rain again? As the saying goes, the immortals came first and then the people, and the grand view came first before this Fenli Town came about. The Immortal Cult is protecting me. From the Eight Southern Countries, if you kill a few untouchables, you deserve it... you deserve it..."
"Quan should be enshrined, right?" Lu Ran continued what Chu Yi couldn't say.
"Hush! Little brother... you can't talk nonsense." Chu Yi waved his hand: "We are all grateful to the Immortal Cult for blessing us in Lishan Kingdom. We can only say that the reason why the Immortal Master has an Immortal Master cannot be discussed indiscriminately. "
Lu Ran was confused. He had heard people mention the Immortal Cult all the way, but no one could tell him the truth so far.
I only vaguely know that above the common people are the officials and the king, and above the king is the Immortal Cult.
Lu Ran did not ask further about this. He and Qingwu came to settle here and lied that they were from the Liuhe Kingdom. As one of the eight southern kingdoms, there was no reason for Liuhe's citizens to not know the Immortal Cult.
He thought of the "Yuanjin Mountain" that Li Qi seemed to have mentioned. Could it be this immortal sect?
Obviously not. Although everyone in "Yuanjin Mountain" also despised human life, Xu Fang and the white-faced "Xia Ya Guoshi" were obviously from different walks of life.
So, are there two immortal sects?
Seeing Lu Ran in a daze, Chu Yi pushed him: "Brother Lu, what are you thinking...? Don't panic, 'murder fairies' have been around since ancient times. Although this is the first time I've seen him in my entire life, he After all, he’s not a monster that eats people’s bones... it’s just... it’s just that his coming to Fenli Town is definitely not unusual. Alas, I just ask that nothing big happens and gets out of hand."
What Chu Yi means is that immortals who kill people are actually innocent in the mortal world, and it is self-evident that "murderous immortals" are.
The original meaning of this title is probably "a fairy who specializes in killing people."
Specialized in killing people, with exclusive power, the appearance of a "killer fairy" generally indicates that something big will happen or has already happened here.
——A fairy specially used to kill people.
With Chu Yi's words full of doubts, Lu Ran recited this sentence silently three times in his heart, and then three more times.
The immortal king named Xu Fang kills people and slays demons. Let’s not talk about the people he kills, but the demons he slays are what Qingwu calls “distinguished guests”, so Xu Fang is more or less here for the “floating picture”. .
But what the "floating picture" is, Qingwu is very secretive.
The scene flashed back in Lu Ran's mind. With a flash of sword light, the Fang Yongguan he knew was cut into two pieces.
Suddenly, a famous fire was lit on the spot.
Immortal, these two words are words that Lu Ran has been avoiding and hating for the past two years.
But Lu Ran also understood that from the day he agreed to get on the boat in Lujiacun, whether he admitted it or not, Lu Ran had become connected with immortals.
My fate with your uncle, if that goddamn Xie Qiao hadn’t asked me to come back...
…
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ran could hold water in his fists. He finally calmed down and said in a daze: "Maybe... this is just a starting point, a beginning."
The word "beginning" refers to both two years ago and the present.
But he didn't notice that Chu Yi was looking at him with an incredible expression.
After knowing each other for so long, Chu Yi has never seen this young man show such an expression.
No, Chu Yi had never seen such an expression on an ordinary person's face.
It was a kind of determination that was burned by the fire, but vowed to counterattack the fire.
His face was full of enthusiasm and his eyes were filled with fire.
It was fleeting, but it seemed to burn my eyes.
Chu Yi is a person who is afraid of fire, and he was frightened by it. After taking a sip of wine, he planned to leave.
Lu Ran returned to his normal state and smiled harmlessly and innocently: "Oh, I was distracted. It's not going to be peaceful tonight...I...I'm still a little scared."
Chu Yi saw that his face changed so quickly, and he also smiled and said, "With Master Xu Fangxu and Daguan here, evil spirits can't enter Fenli Town. Brother Lu, there is no need to worry."
"Master, if there is any news about the Immortal Master or Grand View in the future, please tell me a little bit." Lu Ran laughed again and said: "The boss lady, I will also say a few nice words for the master."
"Brother Lu is still smart. Also, when the killer fairy comes, it's going to be a storm. If you know more, at the critical moment, maybe... you can save your life." When he thought of the boss's wife, Chu Yi almost forgot about his displeasure just now and swallowed. He swallowed his saliva and drank all the wine in the pot in one gulp.
"More, sir?" Lu Ran asked.
"No, no, I drank enough today..." Seeing that his men were almost done with their work, Chu Yi stood up and once again grabbed Lu Ran's hand in a mouse-clasped fist gesture, and squeezed it hard: "That's it. , I have to go back to do business, I will come back when the boss lady comes back."
Lu Ran smiled: "Then I'll bring you a dozen of the best 'Jade Red Spring Mud' to drink. This is brewed by the landlady herself."
"Hehehe, okay..." Chu Yi turned to leave, but he whispered in Lu Ran's ear as if he suddenly remembered something: "If...if you find any other unusual characters, brother Lu, be sure to tell me." .”
An unusual person?
That's too much. This night, the drama has taken turns, but it hasn't completely stopped yet.
Lu Ran replied with a smile: "That's for sure, that's for sure."
Chu Yi looked upstairs. In the corridor of Jiazi Room on the second floor, a girl in red was looking over here.
"Oh, I really drank too much. I thought this was your sister Lu Qing."
When Lu Ran looked over again, the red boy had disappeared.
"Probably just a kid from a traveler's family." Lu Ran explained.
"Okay, okay, let's go!" Chu Yi really left this time, and he didn't forget to remind Lu Ran: "Little brother, don't forget what you promised me."
"I know, if anything unusual happens, go to your house and notify me immediately!"
"Not this one."
"ah?"
"Don't forget to give me a nice word in front of the boss lady!"
