Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

Mr. Zhu was immobilized by Lin Jiu and stopped moving, but his whole body was twitching and his head was tilting.

Although he is usually not nice to Po, Po is kind.

There was still some worry in Abao's eyes.

"Master, what happened to my father-in-law? Is he possessed by evil spirits?"

A Bao had studied Taoism with Lin Jiu for more than ten years. Apart from being possessed by evil spirits, he really couldn't think of any other situation that could turn his father-in-law into the horrible state he was in now.

"No, I think he was hit by a black magic."

Jingzhi came over with an empty cup and put it down, looking puzzled. "Black magic, isn't black magic from Nanyang?"

"Yes." Lin Jiu looked up, his eyes also filled with surprise, "Brother Lin, do you also research this aspect?"

"No, I've only heard a little bit about it."

Jingzhi scratched her head. She felt that the Nanyang she was talking about might be different from what Lin Jiu understood.

Seeing her mouth gradually becoming less swollen due to the effect of the cold tea, Lin Jiu felt a little relieved. He turned to A Bao and said:

"The other party has made a move. You and your father-in-law should hide under the altar. Xiao Hai, go and help."

"What about me?" Jingzhi raised her hand.

"Go to the side and rest for a while. Aren't you feeling weak after having so much of your Yang energy sucked out?"

Lin Jiu picked up the peach wood sword and picked up a piece of yellow paper and lit it.

After thinking for a while, he added to Jingzhi on the right side of the altar:

"Starting tomorrow, you must get up early, spend as much time outdoors as possible, and make sure to get at least three hours of sun exposure every day."

"Oh." Jingzhi asked absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on the burning paper on the peach wood sword, "What are you doing?"

"A challenge has been issued. Both sides will fight, life or death is not a concern." Xiao Hai stuck his head out to take a look and interjected.

As soon as he finished explaining to Jingzhi, he couldn't help but mutter:

"It seems that Master is really angry this time. I have only heard of this thing, but I have never seen it before."

The gate of the courtyard was closed and the altar was set up in the patio.

Although there was no wind, the ashes of the burnt letter of war were blown towards the west.

"Brother Lin, could it be that... the enemy is in the west?"

"Not bad." Lin Jiu picked up a bunch of incense and lit it.

He moved his body freely, and the wind brought by the dancing Taoist robe blew away the incense ash. The tips of the incense were like gathered fireflies, shining in the darkness.

As he cast the spell smoothly, the flickering lights connected together, as if a fire dragon was flying in the air.

Jingzhi couldn't take her eyes off him at all, and didn't even want to blink. She just felt that Lin Jiu was still incredibly handsome when casting spells in this life.

Lin Jiu's ears gradually turned red.

Although he was concentrating on the ritual, the burning gaze followed him like a shadow, glued to his face, and he couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Why, there are too many incense sticks, are you choking on the smoke?"

"..."

Lin Jiu choked and couldn't help but glance at her.

How to do?

Lindi is a big piece of wood.

The red color on the tip of his ear disappeared completely with her unpleasant words.

He stopped and used his right hand to hit the part of the foot that was being pinched in his left hand.

The tiny sparks of fire vibrated and drifted towards the front of the altar.

In less than a moment, the flames disappeared completely.

Jingzhi took a step forward and looked. There was no incense ash on the ground. She had never seen Lin Jiu use this trick in her previous life. She couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Where did it go?"

Lin Jiu inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of him and said mysteriously:

“Nature will drift to where it should go.”

It was just a little test.

Lin Jiu gently pushed away the delicate face in front of him, staring at the void in front of the altar, ready for battle.

"Don't get too close, he's about to attack."

"……who?"

Just as he finished speaking, two handfuls of white powder suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of the altar.

"What's this?"

"This is bone powder used for poison, get out of the way!" Lin Jiu's brows furrowed, and he immediately picked up two eggs, crushed them and threw them over.

"Zizi~"

The bone meal quickly turned black due to adhesion and fell to the ground with a sizzling sound.

Eggs are yang, so it seems that bone meal is also extremely poisonous.

This was also a test of him by the other party.

Lin Jiu glanced to the west, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his sword pointed directly at the eternal lamp on the right.

The eternal lamp flickered, and Lin Jiu's face flickered in the light. The seriousness on his face was exposed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Jingzhi didn't dare to interrupt anymore. He stood aside obediently with the knife in his hand to protect him.

After just a few times, the sky began to flicker as Lin Jiu's magic power ran.

The time has come.

Lin Jiu retracted his sword, made a new hand seal, closed his eyes and muttered something.

come on!

Let me see your true face.

The curse is over.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a translucent figure suddenly appeared in the void in front of him.

The navy blue robe, colorful lace, and white curly hair that looked like it had been blown off by a fart made it very easy to recognize.

That person was the wizard beside Master Shi.

Jingzhi gritted his teeth, pulled out the knife, and approached step by step.

You old man, I knew it was you.

"Don't go there!"

Lin Jiu jumped out of the altar, flew to the big incense burner in the skylight, and started fighting with him in the air.

The two fought fiercely, with flames flying everywhere. Jingzhi circled around the incense burner and was unable to intervene for a while.

Suddenly, the wizard made a throwing motion, and Lin Jiu's incense burner exploded instantly.

The incense ash exploded into the air, blocking her view. She lost sight of him and her heart skipped a beat.

“Ajiu!!”

The wizard laughed arrogantly, but before he could feel proud for long, a thin figure rose from the white smoke.

"Underestimating the enemy is not a good habit!"

An angry roar was heard. Jingzhi opened his mouth slightly, looking at Lin Jiu who leaped into the air with his sword emitting a fierce light, and suddenly thought of Lin Feng.

Oh my god, he is so awesome in this world.

But, he has always been awesome in every life, that is to say.

The mage's figure was directly shattered by Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu jumped down and landed in front of Jingzhi. There was a hint of deep thought in his eyes. "What did you call me just now?"

The name just now is so familiar that it goes deep into my bones.

The voice that Lin Di had just shouted out in a hurry was clear and pleasant, and it was definitely not the low, boyish voice that she usually kept.

Jingzhi opened his mouth, paused for a moment, then gave him a thumbs up and said hesitantly, "Brother Lin, there's something on your face."

Lin Jiu rubbed his face and said, "It must be incense ash."

"No, he's kind of handsome."

"..."

Humph, you little brat, you only know how to talk nonsense.

"Master! Come quickly, my father-in-law seems to be dying!"

Lin Jiu suppressed his doubts and walked over quickly.

At this time, Abao and Xiaohai had already moved Boss Zhu out from under the table.

Boss Zhu stopped twitching, but his stomach swelled up like a balloon.

But in the blink of an eye, a hint of green gradually emerged from his protruding belly button due to his swollen belly, and then he grew bigger and bigger, with green buds sprouting and more leaves, as if he had been injected with hormones.

"Ah?" A Bao panicked and reached out to pull it out.

Lin Jiu quickly stopped him, "No, this is a plant Gu. Its roots have entangled his internal organs. If you pull it out, you might pull out his intestines as well."

"Ah? What should we do then?" A Bao paused and then silently put his hand away.

"We must find an antidote as soon as possible." Lin Jiu said.

"But his belly is getting bigger and bigger. By the time we find the antidote, this plant will probably suck him dry." Jingzhi frowned more and more.

Lin Jiu pondered for a moment before slowly saying:

"Pouring urine on the roots of plants may cause them to rot."

"Xiao Hai, go call Xiao Zhu over."

"Abao, Jingzhi, pack your things and come with me to find the antidote."

……

After packing up her things, Jingzhi inexplicably went to the next door of Tianranju and brought a little black dog with her.

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing Lin Jiu speechless and choking, she smiled and said, "Five Black Dogs can also ward off evil spirits. It's an extra layer of protection. Oh~ Don't you agree, little darling?"

Jingzhi tapped Xiaohei's wet nose.

The little black dog looked at Jingzhi with its round eyes, and suddenly stuck out its tongue to lick her fingers.

It was just over a month old, chubby all over, with soft ears drooping forward.

Jingzhi couldn't help but rub it again and again, even putting her face very close and making faces at Xiaohei.

Lin Jiu closed his eyes and secretly bit his back teeth.

Xiaoguai?

Getting so close to a puppy so quickly?!

"Why don't you leave quickly?!"

Jingzhi held the dog and went over to chat with Abao, "Hey, did your master eat explosives?"

Po scratched his bowl cut and said, "Don't bother with him. He's like that sometimes. You have to be careful at this time, or you'll get beaten."

"Po!!"

"Hey!" Po shook his backpack and followed, "Master, I'm coming."

Lin Jiu glared at his chattering disciple, and glanced at Jingzhi who was walking and playing with the dog, feeling inexplicably upset.

"You're walking so slowly. Is your luggage heavy? Do you want me to help you carry some?"

"Yeah!"

A Bao turned around and faced the backpack towards Lin Jiu.

However, Lin Jiu snatched the dog from Jingzhi's hand first, and then casually took a peach wood sword from Abao's backpack.

"Hey, my little darling! Little darling, I'm by myself..." Jingzhi's arms felt empty, and she reached out to Lin Jiu reluctantly.

"Huh?" His face was frighteningly dark.

"If you want to take it, just take it. Don't be mean to me."

She curled her lips, held the backpack on her shoulders with both hands, and strode forward.

Lin Jiu realized that he seemed to be showing his emotions too much, so he pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The atmosphere instantly became a little weird.

Fortunately, there was a faint glow of fire in the bushes ahead, and it seemed they had found the right place.

"It seems that my guess was right. He was injured during the fight just now and he must not be able to run far. Let's look for him around here." Lin Jiu took a closer look at the strange altar with a sheep's head in front of him.

Then he grabbed Jingzhi's sleeve, who was fiddling around because of the itchy hands, and said, "Don't touch the Gu Master's things, or you'll get hurt."

"You care about me?" She secretly studied his expression.

Lin Jiu paused for a moment, then gave her a subtle smile. "I was not in a good mood just now. As an elder brother, of course I care about you. Let's go."

"...Give the little darling back to me," she said.

"You're wasting time playing with the dog."

"No way! I was playing with it in my hand, it actually moved very fast." Jingzhi stared at him with wide eyes, and then looked at Xiaohei with reluctance as he looked at her with his dog head.

"...It has fleas." Lin Jiu said calmly.

"Ah? Then why are you holding it? Don't you like to be clean?"

"...Po, come here."

Lin Jiu stuffed the dog into A Bao's hands and said, "Hold it tightly."

Jingzhi was stunned by the loss of Xiaoguai.

Po, who was indirectly burdened, sighed.

Alas, he missed his junior fellow apprentice.
