Nightwatcher

Cats have thick pads on their limbs and run on flat ground without making a sound.

Even a master with clever ears and eyes cannot catch the running movement of the orange cat unless he listens carefully.

Of course, no one would care about a feral cat even if they heard about it. .

Xu Qi'an stayed in Chai's residence for a long time, and only knew a general direction of Chai Xing'er's residence.

The orange cat walked around the inner courtyard "aimlessly". After a while, it finally found Chai Xing'er's boudoir. It was a small courtyard with candles flickering in the wing of the main house.

The orange cat walked slowly under the eaves, walked to the door, and listened attentively.

"Li Lang, tell me the truth, did you really come back to Xiangzhou for me?"

In the bedroom brightly lit by candles, Chai Xing'er's cool and pleasant voice came from the crack of the door.

"certainly!"

Li Lingsu's deep and meaningful voice: "I said before, a person who cares about can't go far, even if he is in the remotest corners of the world, but sooner or later he will return to the person he loves."

"Then you swear that you will never leave me again."

"Myolie, you know I'm a prodigal son"

Li Lingsu changed his tone: "But if you are willing to come with me, I swear that I will never leave you in this life."

lie!

The orange cat murmured in his heart, this scumbag, knowing that the other party would not give up the Chai family at this juncture and go away with him, so he said that on purpose.

It can't see what's going on inside, and the cat can't reach the window to poke a hole to peek. Besides, it's too strange for a cat to peek by the window.

Any fool can see that there is a problem.

So the orange cat lay gracefully at the door and continued to eavesdrop with its ears pricked up.

Chai Xing'er sighed: "Li Lang, the Chai family has undergone such great changes, how can I go with you?"

Li Lingsu's gentle voice sounded: "I can stay here and wait for you. When the Chai Mansion has something to do, we will wander the rivers and lakes together."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Chai Xinger's cold voice:

"Li Lang, it's not that I don't want to wander the world with you, it's just that in this world, if we can live in peace and joy, why bother to be displaced. Although the Chai family has suffered such a catastrophe, it is a good opportunity for us."

"What do you mean?"

Li Lingsu's voice changed.

"My elder brother only has three sons. The eldest son died young, the second son was mediocre and incompetent, and the youngest son was a dude who only knew how to enjoy life. Now Chai Xian is rebellious and commits such evil things. As the head of the Chai family, I can only do it in the future."

Chai Xing'er said softly: "Li Lang, my only shortcoming is that I have no heirs. Can you stay in Xiangzhou, our child will be the head of the Chai family in the future."

Li Lingsu didn't answer. After a long silence, he said slowly:

"Myolie, tell me that Chai Xian's matter really has nothing to do with you?"

"You don't believe me?" Chai Xing'er's tone changed.

"I believe you, but this case is quite strange, and I was not there at the time"

Li Lingsu was interrupted by Chai Xing'er before she finished speaking, and said coldly, "I'm tired."

Li Lingsu sighed, and immediately said: "You have a good rest, I'll go back to my room first."

A few seconds later, the orange cat outside the door suddenly heard a "plop" sound of falling to the ground, as if someone had fallen, and then came the shocked and stunned voice of the Holy Son:

"Myolie, you."

Xu Qi'an, the orange cat, was terrified, knowing that he had been poisoned.

Why did Xing'er Chai poison the Holy Son? My body is in the inn, so I can't come to save people at all. By the way, I can go to the Buddhist monk and drive away the wolf

As thoughts flickered, he heard Chai Xing'er sigh faintly:

"Li Lang, you have changed. If you were the old you, you would hug me and comfort me desperately. But now you only want to leave. Have you forgotten the vows you made at the beginning? Forgot that you risked your life just to please me Dangerously broke into the Valley of Thousand Ends?

"What made you change your mind?"

No, girl, he didn't change his mind, he just suffered from kidney failure Xu Qi'an answered Chai Xing'er's question in his heart by complaining.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

Li Lingsu calmed down, her tone was calm, but she was a little helpless.

Seeing that the Holy Son was not panicked, Xu Qi'an planned to wait and see for a while. After all, the sequelae of attracting monks from the Western Regions was huge, which would expose Li Lingsu's identity, and thus expose his identity. The key point is that he is still not sure where Du Nan King Kong is.

Chai Xing'er said softly: "Of course I want to give birth to a child for you. God sent you to me at this time. The arrangements are all right. I am very happy."

"Then why do you use poison?"

"Because before that, I asked you three questions. If you lie or don't answer, I will cut off your life."

While speaking, Xu Qi'an heard the sound of scissors opening and closing, and Li Lingsu's trembling voice: "What's the problem?"

This Nima is so delicate! The orange cat Xu Qi'an bared her teeth, subconsciously put her legs together, and found that the one leaning over was a little female cat.

He suddenly looked forward to the follow-up link.

"Have you ever loved me?" Chai Xing'er said softly.

"Naturally, my heart for you can be expressed in heaven and earth. If there is even half a lie, I will never be reborn forever." Li Lingsu said loudly.

"Although I'm infatuated with Xing'er, how do you know what I'm telling the truth?" Li Lingsu smiled wryly.

"Li Lang, you don't need to test, let me tell you the truth, I put love gu in the wine you just drank, and you left without saying goodbye that day. Love Gu came.

"If you really love me, the love gu will not bite you back, otherwise, you will be in pain. Besides, the mother gu is in my body, so you can't lie about the questions I ask."

Me, have I been incompatible with love Gu in my life? Li Lingsu's face was pale.

Chai Xing'er said indifferently: "The second question, have you ever loved other women?"

Wuhu! Shengzi's penis couldn't keep Xu Qi'an's cat face from hiding his smile.

Anyway, as long as the Holy Son is not in danger, other problems are not big. For a scumbag, beating him is the best punishment.

Li Lingsu didn't answer her.

Chai Xing'er narrowed her eyes, squatted down beside him, and said softly, "Why didn't Li Lang answer me?"

Li Lingsu sighed:

"I just feel sad. When we first met, the moment I saw you, I swore in my heart that you were the woman I would protect and love in the future. I followed the will of my heart, but I didn't investigate the reason.

"Now I know that what you lack is a sense of security. Because of this, I desperately wanted to protect you at the beginning. I think I left without saying goodbye that day, which would have dealt a great blow to you. Alas, everything is wrong. My fault. I've seen other women besides you, like my mother.

"Myolie, I'm very glad that I'm back at this time, to face the ups and downs of the Chai family with you."

Except for the mother, you speak clearly, good guy, there is a half-truth and half-false answer mixed in a lot of love words, do you think you can hide it from others? Ann the orange cat was furious.

bang!

The scissors fell to the ground, followed by Chai Xinger's voice crying with joy: "Li Lang, Li Lang"

Orange Maoan waited outside the door for a quarter of an hour. He heard the woman's panting and the sound of shaking the bed. He didn't leave until he knew that Shengzi was forced to open his business.

You mustn't want a sick woman, otherwise Brother Cheng's today will be your tomorrow. The suspicion of Chai Xing'er is indeed not small. Judging by the motive of the crime, she is the biggest beneficiary.

While looking for the residence of the Buddhist monks, he thought about it. After a while, he found the courtyard where the monks were.

The monks work and rest regularly. Except for the room on the west side of the courtyard, the lights are still on, and the rest of the rooms are dark.

The orange cat Ann entered the yard without a sound, and smelled a strong smell of meat.

The door of the west wing was opened a crack, and several burly monks were sitting by the stove, on which was a large pot, steam was rising from the pot, and the smell of meat wafted from it.

Monks and Zen masters are different, monks don't have to abide by the rules and precepts, wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha keeps it in his heart.

In addition, monks, like warriors, follow the path of refining and transforming qi, and have a huge appetite.

Xu Qi'an took a look through the crack of the door, but he didn't find the pure fate of a fourth-rank monk, and there was no Zen master in the room, so he felt relieved.

"Do you know why Master Duan left halfway?"

A monk was so full of food that he glanced at his fellow disciples.

"I don't know!"

The other monks shook their heads.

Is King Kong out of difficulty? The orange cat was overjoyed, and immediately thought instinctively: what is more important than recovering the Buddha Pagoda? You know, Shenshu's severed arm is imprisoned inside.

"Actually, I think Uncle Jingxin likes to meddle too much. If we arrive at Yongzhou as soon as possible, we can inquire about the intelligence and ambush that person. If we wait for the time to go, this is a lost opportunity."

The monk who spoke just now shook his head and said.

"It's okay, that person doesn't know that we already know his true identity, besides, this time, in addition to the master who saved the difficulty, there are also Arhat who rescued love and Vajra Dufan who led a group of fellow disciples to help, even if the person puts on wings, it is still possible Don't even think about running away."

A monk drank the broth and let out a hey.

Who is "that person"? The Arhats who saved love and King Kong Dufan led the Buddhist monks to dispatch together. Xu Qi'an's heart sank, and after thinking about it for a while, he had a guess—the Buddhist monks came for me.

Reminiscent of the clues he exposed when he was in Leizhou, Fomen guessed his identity, although unexpected, but reasonable.

"One Arhat and two Vajras were dispatched, hey, Buddhism really takes me seriously. Fortunately, the old man Jianzheng got Liuli Bodhisattva down, otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped at all.

"The speed of this female Bodhisattva who controls the Dharma of the practitioner can be called the first person in the world." Orange Mao'an was both grateful and heavy.

Another monk said: "I think Uncle Jingxin has his own considerations, don't forget, if he hadn't intervened in a bandit incident that wreaked havoc on the villages and towns a few days ago, we would not have met the one who got the dragon." An angry bandit leader.

"Hey, now he has put down the butcher knife, changed his mind, and converted to my Buddhism, who is there?"

The monk shouted suddenly.

At the same time, the open door was completely opened, and the orange halo illuminated the orange cat on the threshold.

"Meow~"

The orange cat called out softly, its amber pupils were staring at the iron pot faintly.

It turned out to be a cat attracted by the scent!

The monk who found it turned soft, and threw a piece of fat to the threshold.

Holy crap, can I have a piece of lean meat? The orange cat Ann reluctantly picked up the fat, and was chased away by the monks.

After leaving the courtyard, it didn't take a few steps until it suddenly saw a figure coming from the darkness, a strong man with an expressionless face.

The orange cat An originally thought it was someone from Chaifu, but he didn't pay attention to it. As he approached, the cat's body suddenly froze. The man's complexion was the same as that of ordinary people, but he had no heartbeat and no breathing, like a walking dead.

This is a corpse!

Although the Chai family is famous for controlling corpses, there should be no one who has the habit of manipulating corpses to move around randomly at night.

At the same time as the thought flashed, it saw the corpse passing by itself, bypassing the courtyard where the monks lived, and walking towards the inner courtyard.

Follow up and have a look. An orange cat followed lightly. About a quarter of an hour later, the corpse stopped in a secluded courtyard somewhere in the inner courtyard.

"He" paused outside the courtyard for a moment, bounced straight up, jumped over the two-meter-high courtyard wall, and fell into the inner courtyard.

"who?!"

Shouts came from the courtyard.

The next moment, there was a series of bangs, accompanied by muffled groans and the sound of falling to the ground, everything was calm.

The orange cat waited outside for a few minutes, then jumped out suddenly, walked on the wall as if on the ground, easily climbed over the top of the wall, and entered the yard.

This is entirely the orange cat's own ability. Heart Gu can only control creatures with low IQs, and cannot grant abilities.

Fortunately, what I controlled was a cat. If it was a dog, it might have entered the belly of those monks. He cursed inwardly, his amber eyes swept across the courtyard.

Two bodies fell in the yard, unconscious.

The door of the main house was open, and it was dark and eerie.

The orange cat quickly passed the unconscious two people, and ran into the dark room. The furnishings in the room were simple, and there was a black hole near the window, extending deep into the ground.

The stone cover is propped up high, and the hole has just been opened.

The orange cat got into the hole without any hesitation.

A step was built at the entrance of the cave, extending towards the ground, and a faint light rose from the ground, which was the halo of the oil lamp.

Then there was a faint halo, and the orange cat walked silently on the steps, and after a few minutes, it reached the end of the steps.

A stale smell rushed over, accompanied by a harsh taste.

An orange cat almost fainted, a cat's sense of smell is dozens of times that of a human's.

The smell was too strong. The orange cat An staggered and stood still, and it took a while to recover.

It's the stench of corpses!

The cellar reeks of corpses.

He found that the cellar was very large and extended in all directions, more like a miniature underground labyrinth.

After walking quietly for a while, a corridor appeared in front of him.

On both sides of the corridor, corpses stood silently, men and women, old and young, some wearing shrouds, long skirts, and Confucian shirts.

They closed their eyes, their faces were pale, but they seemed to wake up at any moment.

In addition, the ground is covered with hoods. It is conceivable that these hoods were originally put on the heads of the corpses, but now they have been ripped off.

In the inn, Mu Nanzhi finished reading the idle book, stretched her waist, and planned to get under the covers to sleep.

But she suddenly heard a burst of rapid breathing, Xu Qi'an leaned sideways on the small building next door, closed his eyes, and was breathing heavily.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Nanzhi was taken aback, but still cared about him.

Xu Qi'an didn't open his eyes, and replied dreamily: "Human, heaven on earth."
