Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

The sun gradually disappeared over the horizon, and endless darkness enveloped this seemingly peaceful town.

The number of people on the street began to decrease, and it was time for Niu Ma Jingzhi to go to work.

At this time, the sound of bells rang out in the quiet street.

"Fei Bao Fei Bao, your soul will come back soon!"

She looked at the master and his disciple wearing Taoist robes and carrying soul-calling banners. For some reason, the scene of Lin Jiu calling souls in his previous life suddenly appeared in her mind.

He is quite serious in this life and no longer acts like that.

There were footsteps behind him. Lin Jiu turned around and said to Xiao Hai in silence:

"Why are you following me?"

What to do? Of course, watch a show.

However, Xiao Hai didn't dare to say it out loud, he just silently shifted his gaze to Jingzhi.

Lin Jiu's eyes fell on Jingzhi's face, "You too, don't you need to patrol the streets? Why are you following me?"

Jingzhi hugged the knife across his chest and tapped the ground with his foot. "Isn't this right on the street? This is my territory. I can go wherever I want."

He says one thing, but thinks another.

She also had a vague feeling that something might happen tonight.

It looked like the wizard had a lot of dirty tricks, and if she wasn't afraid that he might get into an accident, she wouldn't have followed him.

Lin Jiu was left speechless and choked by her words. He could only turn around and glare at the smirking Xiao Hai, "Are you not leaving yet? Let's split up."

"Oh."

Alas, there is no show to watch.

Xiao Hai staggered with the backpack and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

The sound of summoning spirits drifted farther and farther away, seeming somewhat eerie in the increasingly silent night.

Neighbors who were afraid of causing trouble went home, and those who locked their doors locked their doors, for fear that ghosts would run into their homes.

There were a few people on the road just now, but now only Jingzhi and Lin Jiu were walking side by side.

The cool breeze made Lin Jiu, who had not slept all afternoon, feel alert, and a question suddenly popped into his mind.

"Where did you find Po this morning?"

Jingzhi paused, "Are you asking me for directions?"

"..."

Lin Jiu inexplicably remembered the first question she asked this morning - how do I get to your heart?

He pursed his lips and reached out to gently tap her head. "Brother Lin, now is not the time to be so talkative. If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that Abao's soul will be used by him to do bad things."

"It hurts!" She covered her head and looked at him pitifully.

Lin Jiu remained unmoved and continued to walk forward, "I know the strength I used."

Jingzhi raised her foot and followed, changing the position of her hand to her chest, "When my sweetheart hits me, even if the force is light, it hurts me."

Sweetheart.

The bell in Lin Jiu's hand was almost crushed by him.

My heart was in turmoil again, but my face showed no expression.

He reached out and hit her again.

"If you don't want to tell me, don't follow me."

"Also, don't be like this anymore. You should... return to the right path."

Jingzhi slowly put down his hand, "What is the right way?"

"Brother Lin exorcises demons and upholds justice. Doesn't liking you not count as righteousness?"

Lin Jiu suddenly turned his face away in embarrassment.

When Lin Jiu first heard her say the word "like", he was almost broken down.

"You, you're old enough to get married. You have a house and a job, so it should be easy for you to find a partner."

"If you have such thoughts, I will ask Matchmaker Zhang to find a suitable girl for you."

Originally, she just wanted to tease him, but when she heard these words suddenly, Jingzhi felt upset.

She kicked the pebbles on the road and said gloomily:

"The Ruyi Tower you took me to last time is right outside his kitchen, next to a pig pen."

"..."

The topic changed too quickly. Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment as he looked at the stone flying far away, before he realized that she was talking about the location where she found Abao this morning.

"……Thanks."

Jingzhi bit her lip. She didn't want to hear thank you, but that was not what she wanted to hear.

"you……"

As soon as I looked up, I saw Lin Jiu walking hurriedly towards Ruyi Tower.

"Hey, wait for me!"

……

Five minutes later, Jingzhi looked at the pink little pig in his arms, feeling a little hesitant.

"You mean, Po's soul is in there?"

"Well, please help me call Xiaohai back. I'll go back first." Lin Jiu turned around and walked towards the Taoist temple with the pig in his arms.

With the ability to take a person's soul away and put it into a pig's body, it seems that the wizard should not be underestimated.

Lin Jiu's face was as gloomy as ink. Jingzhi didn't dare to delay any longer and turned around and ran towards the direction where the ringing sound could be heard from time to time in the distance.

……

"Xiao Hai! Stop shaking! Your master has been found!"

Xiao Hai stopped and looked back, and saw Jingzhi suddenly brake and stop beside him.

Before I asked her how she found it, I saw a few old acquaintances coming towards me.

"Master Zhu, why would I lie? Ah Bao is just stupid. I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"

"I don't believe it, Brother Bao is obviously fine!" Xiaozhu brushed away Mr. Shi's dirty hands and went around to the other side of her father.

Mr. Zhu always smiles when he greets people. This "person" is very particular and must be a rich man.

He smiled and said to Master Shi: "Just go and see and you'll know. If he's really stupid, my Zhuzhu will never marry him."

……

"What are you two doing?"

Jingzhi bowed to Master Zhu and said, "I'm patrolling the streets. As for him, you know him. He's a Taoist priest's apprentice, so of course he's a Taoist priest too. Performing rituals and catching evil spirits is just his daily routine."

When Mr. Shi heard the word "evil ghost" that she used with hints of meaning, he felt an inexplicable chill on the back of his neck.

But when he thought about the silly boy he had just seen, he couldn't help but curl up a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

The mage should have succeeded, right?

This time the beauty is finally his.

So what if Abao has the support of the constable? Lord Wei is on his side!

Thinking of this, Mr. Shi straightened his back again.

He pointed at Jingzhi's nose and started to chase people away:

"Go patrol your streets. You have nothing to do here."

Jingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, pressed down his fingers with the cold scabbard, with a cold smile on her lips.

She suddenly said: "Cockroach."

Mr. Shi trembled inexplicably.

Jingzhi's eyes gradually darkened.

She knew that it must be this guy and that old man who were behind this.

Why not play with bugs?

No, that old man has been following this guy.

Could it be that something happened to Abao?

...

Mr. Shi felt guilty when Jingzhi looked at him, as if she could see through his soul. "What cockroach? Where are there cockroaches?"

"go!"

Jingzhi ignored him and pulled Xiaohai towards the Taoist temple.

I hope Lin Jiu makes it in time.

"Hey, I'm going to sue you! I'm going to the government office to sue you for dereliction of duty!"

Mr. Shi was still making a lot of noise behind him when suddenly a cockroach shot out and fell straight into his wide-open mouth.

"You... cough cough, Yue~~"

……

As soon as Jingzhi arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, she saw Lin Jiu with his back to her, and for some reason he suddenly threw out a handful of talisman paper.

There was a crackling sound, and suddenly there was an unpleasant smell in the air.

Before she could see the situation clearly, Master Shi arrived with the Zhu father and daughter.

"Master Zhu, look quickly, Abao is really stupid."

Jingzhi suddenly said something coldly in his ear:

"Are cockroaches delicious?"

"You! Yue~~~~"

Mr. Shi was holding onto a pillar and vomiting until he couldn't get up. She took two quick steps in disgust and came to Lin Jiu's side.

But I saw a scene that gave me even more goosebumps.

Abao was covered in dust, and there were more than a dozen leeches from nowhere crawling on his body and face.

And he became the same as he was this morning, only able to say "shocked" and "terrified".

"Brother Bao!"

Seeing Abao like this, Xiaozhu felt very heartbroken and rushed forward. Although she was also afraid of leeches, she still reached out and pinched them one by one to help him pick them off.

The old man was indeed here, confronting Lin Jiu.

"Master Zhu, this Abao is clearly a fool, but someone has actually let a female ghost possess him. You should go and take a look."

The old man looked arrogant and unscrupulous.

Even though Lin Jiu was furious at the way his apprentice was harmed, he understood that to catch a thief, one must seize the stolen goods.

Without any evidence at the moment, he couldn't do anything to this villain.

He glanced at the mage coldly and said sarcastically:

"A Bao became like this because someone scared his soul out. That person used such a lowly method. It's really insidious!"

The smugness on the wizard's face disappeared.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Jiu was full of malice.

He sneered, pointed at Xiaohong who had been beaten to the ground in the side yard, and said to Master Zhu:

"Look, this is the female ghost."

Mr. Zhu was scared half to death by Xiaohong's almost translucent soul after just one look.

"Xiaozhu, let's go back!"

"father!"

Mr. Zhu hurried over to pull his daughter, but when he saw the stupid Abao, he frowned again.

"He's already like this, I don't agree! Forget about this marriage, come back with me, and don't come here again."

"Master Zhu, please be patient." Lin Jiu came over with the pig in his arms. "Abao's soul is here."
