Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

As soon as I arrived at the charity cemetery, I heard the noisy laughter of infant spirits coming from the room on the left, as well as the ghostly howling of Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

Lin Jiu and Jingzhi looked at each other and quickly quickened their pace to run over.

"The big bully the small, and they die early!"

"Brothers, beat him!"

At this moment, Qiu Sheng suddenly howled, and Jingzhi's body couldn't help but tremble.

What happened? Why are you screaming so miserably?

"Oh!"

As soon as they pushed open the door, they saw Qiu Sheng falling from the sky like a kite with a broken string, and he hit Wencai who was lying on the ground. The two of them cried and screamed again.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the infant spirits all looked over.

Seeing that it was Uncle Jiu who came back, they stopped timidly and dared not speak.

Only the little kid was fearless like a newborn calf. He crawled over very quickly and sat at Jingzhi's feet.

Lin Jiu glanced at him, ignored him, walked over slowly, sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said lightly:

"Don't worry about me, just pretend you didn't see anything."

The infant spirits' eyes lit up, and they formed groups of four, each grabbing the hands and feet of two people and slamming them against the pillars.

Suddenly, the chicken flew and the eggs broke.

There were two more howls of a different pitch.

Seeing that Lin Jiu's two apprentices were about to become eunuchs, Jingzhi couldn't bear to watch. She walked to Lin Jiu, took a chair and sat down, then came close to him and asked:

"Why don't you stop them? It's painful to watch."

Especially Qiu Sheng, there is an iron mark on the sole of his foot, it is burned red, how can this be okay?

Lin Jiu was inexplicably in a good mood at the moment. He smiled and said:

"These two brats must have been messing with these spirit babies again. They deserve it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fat boy took off his pants and started peeing on Wencai's face.

Jingzhi tugged at Lin Jiu's sleeve and said hesitantly, "Why don't you stop it now?"

Lin Jiu: "Wait a little longer. If they don't learn their lesson, they won't learn their lesson."

The next second, Qiu Sheng and Wencai's pants were taken off.

Her eyes were also covered by a big hand in an instant.

"Ajiu?"

"Don't look at it, it will give you a stye."

As he spoke, he called out to the group of spirit infants:

"Enough is enough."

The spirit babies respect him and are afraid of him.

When they saw him call for a stop, they all ran away.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai then stood up with their hands and feet weak, legs clamped together, and pulled up their pants in a mess.

Maybe he knew that he had done something wrong, so he didn't dare to run around Lin Jiu who was sitting by the door and just ran out. He just stood there with his head down, waiting to be scolded.

"You guys..." Lin Jiu drank the cup of warm tea in his hand to calm down his anger, then he withdrew his hand and stood up, looking at the two of them coldly:

"Luckily, you only caught kind spirit babies. If you had offended those three above, you would have suffered."

Jingzhi walked over, looked at the three spirit infants with their eyes covered, and said:

"I don't think I've ever seen those three come out."

Lin Jiu slowly walked to her side, put his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the three little ones, sighed slowly, and then explained:

"Those three spirit babies have been aborted multiple times by their mothers and are unable to reincarnate, so they have become extremely vicious. If they were released, the consequences would be disastrous."

Jingzhi frowned, suddenly feeling that they were quite pitiful. "Then what should we do? Should we just leave it like this?"

Lin Jiu shook his head and continued:

"These three spirit infants must cultivate for a full thousand days before their hostility can be resolved."

Jingzhi nodded. Since Lin Jiu said so, she would just stay away from him.

Lin Jiu didn't think so. He looked at the little kid who was holding Jingzhi's legs and tremblingly stood up. After thinking for a while, he said to the two disciples who were pretending to be quails on the side:

"Send these spirit babies to Zhe Gu tomorrow morning, so you two won't cause trouble for me all day long!"

Jingzhi asked, "Who is Zhegu?"

Wencai quickly raised his hand and answered honestly:

"Isn't that my master's junior sister? She likes..."

However, before Wencai could finish his words, Lin Jiu glared at him fiercely.

After being glared at by Lin Jiu, Wencai instantly became trembling with fear, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

At this time, Jingzhi looked at Wencai suspiciously, and then followed Wencai's terrified eyes to look at Lin Jiu.

"What are you happy about?"

Wencai dared not continue to speak, and quickly changed his words:

"No, nothing! Master, I'm going to take a shower first."

Having said that, Wencai slipped away as quickly as if his feet were greased.

At this time, Jingzhi suddenly recalled what Taoist Simu said last time, that Lin Jiu had two junior sisters who both had feelings for him.

Thinking about it this way, if this Zhe Gu can be responsible for guarding the spirit baby, then she must be the junior sister who studied Taoism with Lin Jiu.

After Wencai left, Jingzhi turned his gaze to Qiu Sheng:

"Where is that Sugarcane Girl now?"

Qiu Sheng said without hesitation: "It's in the next town."

Hearing this, Jingzhi was suddenly startled, and the alarm bells in her mind rang out like thunder.

She thought to herself:

The distance is so close?

Could it be that this Sugar Girl really wants to take advantage of her proximity to capture Ajiu's heart?

Thinking of this, Jingzhi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of tension and crisis in his heart.

No, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle.

"I'll be free tomorrow morning. I'll go with you."

"what?"

Qiu Sheng looked at Jingzhi in shock, and then secretly glanced at Lin Jiu.

He was startled by Lin Jiu's eyes after just one glance.

No, he was telling the truth...

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you clean up the floor? It smells like urine."

While Lin Jiu was talking, he secretly glanced at Jingzhi's expression out of the corner of his eye.

After seeing that there was no sign of anger on her face, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled back into his stomach and he let out a long sigh of relief.

However, just as he exhaled, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart -

Why do I care so much about whether she is angry or not?

There's clearly no special relationship between the two...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking that he was really making a fuss out of nothing.

But soon, he forced these chaotic thoughts out of his mind and told himself that he must not continue to think deeply about them.

After calming down, he quickly turned his head and tried to make his tone sound more natural, and said to Jingzhi:

"Go and have a rest. You've been walking for a long time."

Qiu Sheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw this, and muttered to himself:

"Hmph, what a two-faced person! Not only does he refuse to accept the girl's feelings, but he's also afraid of upsetting her, yet he's still so caring... I really don't know what the master is up to!"

While thinking, Qiu Sheng shook his head in a mature manner, then turned around and walked out of the room resignedly, went to the yard to fetch water to wash the floor.

For a moment, the whole room became silent, so quiet that only the breathing of the two people could be heard.

Lin Jiu stood there, feeling uncomfortable all over.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally walked out the door.

But who would have thought that just after taking a few steps, Jingzhi's clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind.

"Ajiu, I'm very happy tonight."

Hearing this, Lin Jiu's figure suddenly stopped.

After a long while, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"……That's good."

……

The next morning, Qiu Sheng was afraid that Jing Zhi would really run to Zhe Gu. After all, as the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain.

Moreover, these two were usually very nice to them, and he was worried that things would get out of control, so he and Wencai got up before dawn.

After packing up a whole cart of spirit babies, he tiptoed out through the back door.

No matter how light their movements were, they could not escape the ears of Lin Jiu, a cultivator.

Lin Jiulao had already heard the sound of wheels in the distance. He slowly pushed open the door and subconsciously glanced at the door next door.

It's still closed.

so far so good.

He just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

No, the civet cat's hearing is much better than his. He heard it all, so what about her...

He quickly walked to her door, hesitated for a few seconds, and then knocked twice tentatively.

No one responded.

After waiting for a few seconds, he couldn't wait any longer and pushed gently.

The door is not locked?!

Lin Jiu had a bad premonition in his heart.

He looked inside and saw that the room was empty.

His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this time he was probably finished. After all, his junior sister was not someone to be trifled with.

At this moment, Lin Jiu's heart was in a mess.

On the one hand, he wanted to follow her out to see what was going on. On the other hand, the various ways that Zhe Gu had treated him in Maoshan in the past lingered in his mind like a shadow, making him feel wary.

What's more important is that there is no ambiguity between him and Zhe Gu. If he just runs away like this, wouldn't that make things even more obvious?

Just when he was struggling, Jingzhi was leisurely following Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

Those two silly boys were chatting and laughing happily at the moment.

"Haha, I thought Jingzhi was too happy last night to get up early in the morning. Luckily I had foresight!"

Wencai scratched his head, his tone still revealing a hint of hesitation:

"But isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this? After all, she agreed to go together last night. If we go before her..."

Before Wencai could finish his words, Qiu Sheng made a "Puh" sound and casually spat the dogtail grass he was chewing on to the ground.

"Why don't you see it? Can't you see it? Zhe Gu and Jing Zhi both like Master. If they were to get together, the scene would definitely explode! If a fight really breaks out, who would you help?"

He looked a little guilty, and looked around a few times. Seeing that no one was around, he leaned close to Wencai's ear and whispered:

"You know, Jingzhi and Zhegu are very nice to us, but they actually have similar tempers and are both quite aggressive. If we really saw them, wouldn't we be furious?"

Wencai seemed to be convinced. He nodded, said "yes", and stopped talking.

……

The charity cemetery stands alone between the two towns. Its location is quite special and it is very close to the next town.

The two men walked quickly and arrived at the town entrance in less than half an hour.

It was still early, but the streets were already bustling with people.

Many people get up early to buy and sell vegetables, and various small vendors selling breakfast are busy all the time.

The aroma wafts into the air, and the various steaming breakfasts make you salivate.

However, even though the two of them were full of desire for the delicacies, they did not dare to slack off at all, and still carefully pushed the cart full of infant spirits forward slowly.

Because they knew very well that if they accidentally broke even one of the spirit baby statues, they would probably be severely beaten by Lin Jiu.

They struggled through the bustling city and finally came to a fork in the road.

Turn right and enter a narrow and quiet alley.

Not long after walking into the alley, you can see a temple in the distance.

Jingzhi thought: "That must be where Zhe Gu is."

I saw that the alley in front of me extended straight, with no end in sight and no turns in the middle.

She was following behind and felt alert, worried that she would be discovered by the two people in front.

She flashed and easily crossed the wall, quietly going around to the back of the temple.

Then, he quickly crouched down and landed nimbly on the other side of the roof, then looked inside through the skylight on the roof.

I see!

I saw a woman in a pink floral dress standing in front of the table and burning incense.

After she muttered to herself, she suddenly looked up and stared at the roof.

Jing Zhixin was startled and quickly withdrew his head.

He thought to himself, her senses are so sharp, she is worthy of being Lin Jiu’s junior sister!

It seems that this is not going to be easy to deal with...
