"...It is said that Mrs. Chen was crude and ugly at first and was not liked by Chen Jing. It was not until she met Master Xuanji that she transformed into a bright and charming beauty..."
"etc!"
Chu Qi raised her hand to interrupt Bao Zheng's speech because she was too curious.
"But I saw Mrs. Chen. She looks like an ordinary village woman, but she is dressed very richly. Do everyone in the Chen family really think she is beautiful?"
"Well... in short, the people I asked, whether they are uncles or aunts, all said that Mrs. Chen has become more beautiful. She has a small cherry mouth, willow-shaped eyebrows, a slender waist, and lotus blossoms every step of the way. She said it is as beautiful as the sky. The fairy is quite pretty."
Bao Zheng scratched his head. He had not seen Mrs. Chen in person, so he didn't know how much impact these remarks had on Chu Qi.
"Oh, let's forget about that! The strangest thing is that after Chen Jing started doting on Mrs. Chen again, his original concubines suddenly disappeared one by one. No one knows where they went until now. They just heard that , during those days, the food for the dogs raised in the house was surprisingly good."
As soon as he said this, several people present couldn't help but tremble.
"Miss Chu Qi, it doesn't matter that we are scared, why are you trembling too?"
"Just because I'm a ghost doesn't mean I won't be afraid. According to what you said, if those concubines really died so miserably, they would definitely be worse than me when they turned into ghosts!"
It's a pity that this is still a world without demons. Otherwise, how could those demons in human skin still live in the world and enjoy wealth?
The room suddenly fell silent. At this time, Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered what happened in the government office.
"By the way, Miss Chu Qi, did Sima Qing meet you in the hall before?"
"Ah... that's not true, but you almost caught me. Mr. Zhan, do you know him?"
Zhan Zhao frowned when he heard this and said, "I've heard of it, but today is the first time I've seen him. He is the leader of the seventy-two warriors of Guishaling. He gained a great reputation in the world back then, but I don't know when He disappeared suddenly, and I found out when I saw him today that he was actually working as a bodyguard for Magistrate Chen."
"So, he is very powerful?"
"It's very powerful. Let's put it this way, apart from him, the remaining seventy-one people in Gui Sha Ling all became warriors in order to follow him after being defeated by him. There are many martial arts masters among them."
"That's no wonder..."
In a world, there will always be some beings with extraordinary senses, and these people are usually very sensitive to energy. Many times, the tasks of weavers are overturned because of such people.
"Stop, stop, stop. Let's forget about Sima Qing for now. Since they are going to make a pilgrimage to Master Xuanji tonight, then they will ask Guard Zhan and Miss Chu Qi to go and investigate together. Remember, protecting yourself is the most important thing. If a problem arises, retreat immediately.”
——————
Just after Chu Qi and the others exchanged the information they had learned, they saw that it was still early in the night. In order to be more prepared when downloading the dungeon at night, Chu Qi planned to earn more energy now.
If she could create the third miracle before nightfall, she would basically not have to worry about her own safety in this world.
Therefore, Chu Qi, who was a little anxious, used his previous excuse to join the team.
She is going to find a painting.
Chu Qi's idea was very simple. According to the bUff of the beauty picture, after she got the painting, she would give Zhan Zhao and the others a look. How could she gather more energy? What if she could gather enough energy to unlock the miracle of walking through the wall?
Therefore, while others were walking back and forth in the room waiting for news about Xiao Hei, Chu Qi confidently made a request to find the painting.
"Ah, girl, are you going to look for pictures of beauties now?"
Bao Zheng was surprised when he heard this. He turned to look out the window and realized that it was still early. He also thought about what he had been taught before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year that pictures of beautiful women should not stay in the mortal world for long, so he nodded.
"I know the girl is eager, but the sun is shining brightly, so the girl needs to be careful when traveling... How about I accompany you--"
"Ahem, how about I go with Miss Chu Qi? There are many people on the street, and I can still be careful not to let the girl get hit, so as not to be discovered again."
Bao Zheng originally wanted to suggest that he should go with Chu Qi. With him, it might be easier to talk, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhan Zhao's sudden voice. He stared at Zhan Zhao silently, but instead The young man stared back.
His eyes were clear and open, without the slightest hint of selfishness.
So Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Qi and said, "What do you think, Miss Chu Qi?"
Chu Qi blinked and agreed decisively.
Although it would be tiring to hold on to her persona all the time, her inhumanity would be more intense when she is mixed in with the crowd. Perhaps the effect would be better if Zhan Zhao watches from the side.
After getting the answer, Chu Qi ordered the fruit bat Xiao Hei, who had been fed by Bao Zheng in the past few days and had almost gained a lot of weight, to fly to the Chen Mansion to monitor the movements. After that, the two of them went out, still the same as before. , Zhan Zhao held the umbrella, and on the seventh day of the month, all he had to do was be careful that his exposed skin would not be exposed to the sun.
In the guest room on the second floor, Bao Zheng stood at the window and watched the people and ghosts below leaving. He turned to Gongsun Ce and asked uncertainly: "Mr. Gongsun, did the guard Zhan just laugh?"
Gongsun Ce did not answer him, as if he was thinking about something. But after a while, he looked towards the window and sighed very softly: "Man and ghost have different paths..."
The sky outside is just right, but the sunlight shining through the window is a bit dazzling.
Just as Chu Qi expected, once she got mixed into the crowd, the inhuman feeling about her could no longer be concealed. Whether it was the weird behavior of holding an umbrella in the clear sky or the ghostly posture, all these made people passing by involuntarily look at her. His eyes fell on her.
Perhaps because he had been alone with Chu Qi for too long, Zhan Zhao almost treated her as a normal human woman. Only then did he suddenly realize that she was incompatible with the human world.
He suddenly felt flustered for no reason, and his hand reached out uncontrollably to grab Chu Qi's wrist, and then silently let go when she looked at him in confusion.
"Miss Chu Qi, there are so many people, so let's walk over slowly."
Chu Qi glanced at the points that kept popping up on the panel, and turned off the floating skill with a pity. After all, Zhan Zhao pointed it out, she couldn't be too rebellious, but the desired effect had been achieved, no matter how hard she counted, she couldn't be too rebellious. Not a loss.
"Ah, I was negligent. Thank you Mr. Zhan for reminding me."
After thanking her sincerely, Chu Qi had not even walked a few steps when she saw several people riding up the street. If Zhan Zhao hadn't pulled her back two steps quickly, she would have been hit. Fly out.
After the group of people had gone away, Chu Qi raised her head from Zhan Zhao's arms. Seeing that Zhan Zhao was still looking at the direction in which they were leaving, she couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Zhan, what are you looking at?"
"The laws of the Song Dynasty clearly stipulate that horses are not allowed to ride in the street. They are so brave!... However, if I read it correctly just now, the leader seems to be Sima Qing... Strange, why did he come out alone without following Chen Jing? "
"Could it be that Chen Jing gave him some special mission? Mr. Zhan, how about we follow him and take a look?"
Faced with Chu Qi's suggestion, Zhan Zhao shook his head: "No, he is already far away, and we can't keep up if we go now. Moreover, without Sima Qing, the other people around Chen Jing will not be that big of a threat to us." Yes, it would be more convenient to follow Chen Jing and his party after nightfall.
Let’s go look for the painting first. Miss Chu Qi, where is the position you sensed? "
"Oh, it's over here. It should be here soon."
The two of them were walking side by side and drifting away. Naturally, they didn't know that Sima Qing, who had just driven away, suddenly stopped suddenly and stared at their position with a frown.
"Boss, what's wrong? There's nothing behind you. Come on, let's go. The mage will be angry if we miss the time later."
Sima Qing looked at it for a while, but still found nothing, so he had to leave again.
Chu Qi, who had already walked away, didn't notice anything wrong at all, but Zhan Zhao noticed something strange. He just looked back and found nothing, so he didn't take it to heart.
