Tsing Yi holds an umbrella, and under the umbrella is another world.
"Is it you who bullied my junior brother?"
There was boundless darkness in his empty eyes.
It is deeper and darker than the night in the sky, and all surrounding light is distorted and swallowed up as soon as it gets close. It is the end that is darker than darkness.
Even though he had no eyes, the villain still felt a pair of sharp eyes sweeping over his body.
grumble!
The hairs all over his body stood up at the same time. His heart was filled with fear, and only the thought of running away was left in his mind.
It was clear that the villain himself was still driving the black light, but it seemed as if he was firmly fixed by an invisible nail, and his muscles were so stiff that he couldn't even move a little finger.
Qing Yi held the umbrella in his left hand, and with just a slight lift of his right hand, a blue flame appeared in his palm.
The villain couldn't help but fly to Qing Yi's right hand. His big eyes were full of fear, and he couldn't struggle no matter what.
Until it falls into the flames.
grumble--
The villain wanted to scream a few times at first. He was jumping up and down in Qing Yi's palm, desperately trying to get out of the small palm.
But after a while, the villain gradually stopped waving and struggling.
He found that those blue flames did not bring any harm to him, but actually felt a little nourishing.
The villain stretched out comfortably in the flames. He was sure that the flames were only good for him and not harmful, so he opened his mouth wide and kept devouring the flames, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Hehehehahaha..."
The villain laughed, swallowing the flames greedily.
Under the paper umbrella, Qing Yi just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile.
"Chi chi chi..."
The villain found that he couldn't stop for some reason. He could only watch the flames rushing into his mouth.
No matter how good something is, eating too much can be bad.
"Chi chi chi..."
He reluctantly made a few pleas for mercy, but no one answered.
As the saying goes, people are like iron rice and steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry. But if a hungry person keeps eating, and keeps eating, until he is full, and continues to eat, he will eventually die of exhaustion.
The villain is now slowly being stretched to death.
The evil energy that he couldn't absorb was rushing through his body, and slowly the meridians under his skin swelled, like little snakes clinging and wrapping around his skin.
grumble--
In the end, the villain could only let out one last shrill scream from his throat.
Then with a bang, it turned into a squirming mass of minced meat.
Black energy rose up, enveloping the mass of flesh and blood, and dropped it, right into the mouth of the beautiful tiger that had been squatting in the jungle.
Click click click.
The tiger chewed, swallowed the black mist mixed with flesh and blood, and then bent his limbs and kowtowed three times toward the sky.
With a wagging of its tail, the tiger disappeared into the jungle in three leaps.
The man in green looked playfully at the monster inner elixir lying quietly in his palm. It has a texture like jade, but the thick black evil spirit makes it impermeable to light.
The man in green held the inner alchemy with two fingers. He looked up and down, and then dropped the inner alchemy into his mouth like eating jelly beans.
Under the paper umbrella, there was the sound of crunching.
Phew, a gust of autumn wind blew by.
The landscape paintings on the paper umbrellas trembled for a while, but the scenery depicted on them gradually became clearer.
Birds comb their wings, animals chase and play.
Occasionally there are fish jumping up on the lake surface, stirring up layers of waves in the calm water.
On the corner of the eaves of the Huxin Pavilion, there is a small and exquisite wind chime hanging, swaying left and right in the autumn wind, making a crisp sound.
"Wan'er, did you hear that...the autumn wind is very strong today..."
As soon as the paper umbrella was closed, everything disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Only the autumn wind tonight whistles into the distance.
…
"Where did you go early in the morning? That young master from the Zhao family came over to say hello, and I realized that you were missing."
Nan Er looked at Xia Zhichan who was sitting at the tea table, sipping tea, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
call--
Xia Zhichan gently blew away the white mist floating on the tea cup, and then took a shallow sip. Today he didn't even wear his most commonly used black and white mysterious robe, but simply wore an embroidered white robe.
Even a slow-responsive person like Nan Er could sense that something was wrong with Xia Zhichan, but no matter how he asked, the other party would not answer.
"Last night there was a sudden thunder, and then the whole night suddenly became as bright as day... Was it your fault?"
Nan Er sat opposite him, took a teacup and put it in front of him.
"Just these few words, you asked me over and over again seven or eight times all morning. If you don't find it annoying, I find it annoying..."
Xia Zhichan took the teapot and poured Nan Er a cup of tea, but complained a few words, and then continued:
"Anyway, it's over. It's useless for you to know..."
"But I want to know."
Nan Er stood up without even drinking tea, then pointed outside and said:
"Do you know that I couldn't find you this morning? The way Mr. Zhao looked at me... I almost pulled out the knife."
"If you really want to know, go out and see for yourself."
Xia Zhichan casually said that he was just too tired to find a reason to send Nan Er out.
"Go out, where are you going?"
Nan Er turned around and was about to leave. He was almost at the door before he remembered to ask.
"Go wherever the excitement is..."
Xia Zhichan put down her tea cup and waved her hand in disgust.
"snort!"
Nan Er pushed open the door with a knife and left.
…
Three days later, it was night.
Dark clouds passed by, covering half of the moon, allowing the bright moonlight to hide above the clouds.
The embroidery building where Miss Zhao's family was located was shrouded in shadow, without a trace of light.
Since the embroidery building where the young lady lives has become haunted, the servants and maids only dare to enter the embroidery building during the day, and they all hide out at night.
I heard that Miss Zhao starts to act abnormally at night.
Anyway, when night came, it was said that the young lady was the only one left in the entire embroidery building.
Even if you occasionally walk by the courtyard door where the embroidery building is located, you can still hear waves of vague whimpering, which is creepy.
The monster in the backyard corridor would occasionally appear again, frightening the passing servants and maids into fainting, but so far it had not caused any fatalities.
"Xia Lingguan, what are we doing..."
Zhao Bin followed Xia Zhichan and Nan Er quietly. He looked at the empty and dark environment around him, and couldn't help but feel scared. In the end, he couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice:
"…What are you going to do?"
"Catch the monster."
Xia Zhichan was strolling leisurely and heard Zhao Bin's somewhat frightened voice behind him. He said something without even turning his head, and then heard the footsteps behind him being chaotic.
"Then... why don't you bring more people? There are at least dozens of housekeepers at home. Why..."
Zhao Bin's legs felt weak for a while. He was just a businessman and didn't know martial arts. Why did Xia Zhichan ask him to follow him to catch the monster?
"No need. Ordinary people can't defeat real monsters. No matter how many people there are, it's useless."
Nan Er raised his eyebrows. He noticed that Xia Zhichan used "real" before the word monster. In addition, when they first arrived, Xia Zhichan said that there were no monsters here, so the Zhao family could only be human beings. Pretending to be a ghost.
Woo...
The autumn wind rushed through the corridor, making a sound like a whimper.
Zhao Bin shuddered all over. He stared at the dark corridor in front of him with his eyes wide open. He obviously didn't see anything, but he always felt that there was a pair of eyes peering at him in the dark night.
"What are you afraid of? It's just a gust of wind..."
Nan Er looked at Mr. Zhao behind him who was shaking like a chicken, curled his lips and said.
Roar--
A deep roar came along the corridor. The sound sounded like a tiger or a lion. No matter what it was, it was a huge guy.
"ah!"
Nan's hands trembled, and he pretended to be calm and approached Xia Zhichan, lowering his voice and asked:
"Didn't you say there are no monsters? What kind of noise is this..."
"fine."
Xia Zhichan waved her hand and walked at the front.
Nan Er, who was behind him, placed his hand on the hilt of his knife, and his eyes gradually became sharper. He was adjusting his state. If something came out, he would give it a knife first.
The last one, Zhao Bin, was feeling bitter all the time. He reluctantly moved his steps and did not dare to stray too far away from the two people in front of him. He could only reluctantly follow them closely.
Roar--
The further we walked, the sound of the beast's roar became clearer and clearer.
Until they came to a corner, this was the place where the maids saw the huge black shadow for the first time, and it was also the beginning of strange things happening in the Zhao family.
tread.
Xia Zhichan stopped and saw the figure hidden in the darkness not far away.
Nan Er and Zhao Bin also saw it.
The scarlet eyes were like two small lanterns, emitting two red lights under the corridor. The mouth was full of protruding fangs, and sticky saliva dripped from the corners of his mouth, hitting the bluestone floor with a ticking sound.
"Xia...Xia...Xia Lingguan?"
Zhao Bin's voice began to tremble. Although he had already known about the appearance of the monster in the backyard corridor from the servants, this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
Nan Er turned sideways and assumed the most convenient posture for drawing the sword.
Xia Zhichan stared at the monster in front of him without being arrogant or arrogant. Even though the monster roared at him several times, he did not waver at all.
"interesting……"
Instead he laughed, then took out a white pill from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Bin, the young master of the Zhao family who had been shivering behind him, and motioned for the latter to hold the pill in his mouth.
"Um."
Zhao Bin followed Xia Zhichan's instructions. The white pill had a faint aroma of wine as soon as he took it into his mouth, but he couldn't taste the wine.
Also, the white pill tastes a bit like - made of white paper.
"What about mine?"
Nan Er watched helplessly as the white pill entered Zhao Bin's mouth, and then looked at Xia Zhichan with wide eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his expression was asking him which part?
"You don't need it."
The white pill that Xia Zhichan handed to Zhao Bin was actually made of white paper with a drop of fairy wine dripped on it. Its main purpose was to protect Zhao Bin from evil spirits.
Didn't you say that there are no demons? Why are you afraid of the demonic energy again?
The monster opposite is not a demon, but Xia Zhichan has a real cat demon.
The left sleeve of the robe shook.
A slender black shadow fell to the ground. She swayed her broken tail and gently rubbed Xia Zhichan's trouser legs with her body.
"Meow~"
"You can only eat after you finish your work."
Ever since Xia Zhichan had the ghost bone in his hands, the black cat had become more and more attached to him, acting coquettishly and cutely in front of him, just to eat the little black biscuit.
Naturally, Xia Zhichan was not polite to her and pointed her finger towards the other side.
The black cat licked his little paws, then took a few steps with cat steps.
Roar!
The monster let out a huge roar.
The black cat finished licking his paws slowly, then stretched his body and stood up straight.
Where are the cute kittens?
It was clearly a black tiger that was even larger than an ordinary tiger. It shook its head and appeared in front of everyone.
Ouch!
The roar was not only deafening, but also made people smell the stench of blood.
"vomit……"
"vomit……"
There were two sounds of violent vomiting, but these two sounds did not come from Xia Zhichan and the others, but from the opposite side of them.
"Go and have a look."
Xia Zhichan raised her chin forward, and Nan Er walked over with the knife in hand. Zhao Bin followed closely behind him, looking over Nan Er's shoulder.
At this time, the moonlight also shines down very cooperatively.
The monster fell to the ground and turned into a piece of fur made up of several pieces of animal skin.
Under the fur, two vomiting figures squirmed out. Their faces were as pale as paper. After vomiting everything in their stomachs, they kept retching.
"You...who are you?"
As soon as Zhao Bin saw that the other party was a human, the fear in his heart subsided, and he walked over and pointed at the two of them and asked sternly.
"Spar... ugh... spare my life..."
"The two of us...were hired by others...to pretend to be monsters here..."
"Let us go...please..."
Nan Er and Zhao Bin looked at each other, then turned to look at Xia Zhichan who was playing with the cat at the side.
Xia Zhichan hugged the black cat that had transformed back into cat form. He noticed the gazes of the two of them and said calmly:
"They just took money to pretend to be monsters here, and they didn't hurt anyone..."
"Yes, yes... spare my life..."
The two men crawled on the ground, trembling and kowtowing, begging for mercy.
"Send it to the Yamen and give them a dozen or so stamps to make them remember it and stop doing this kind of thing in the future."
He took money to pretend to be a ghost and scare others, making the Zhao family restless for two months. Although this crime was not a heinous crime, it still had to be punished.
"Then I'll call someone to tie them up and deliver them to the government?"
Zhao Bin looked at the cat in Xia Zhichan's arms and did not dare to step forward. He just stood there and asked. In the past few days, he often saw Xia Zhichan holding a black cat, but he never thought that the black cat was not a mortal thing.
"No need now, it will be too late when we come back from the embroidery building..."
Xia Zhichan glanced at the two people who were lying limply on the ground, and continued:
"They won't be able to get up for a while."
When the cat demon's demonic energy invades their bodies in an instant, even warriors who are usually as strong as an ox will feel their legs become weak for a while, and they won't be able to use any strength for a long time.
Xia Zhichan did not take care of the two people on the ground anymore, but led Nan Er and Zhao Bin through the corridor to the courtyard where the embroidery building was located in the backyard.
The embroidered building was pitch black, without any light.
The three of them walked up to the embroidery building, and at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, they saw a woman in white who was lighting a red candle and combing her hair with her back to the three of them.
"Woo..."
There was a harsh whimper.
Just when Zhao Bin felt his scalp numb and Nan Er was about to draw his sword, he heard Xia Zhichan let out a loud shout:
"Wipe the makeup off your face!"
