Meet the moon again

"Boss, there seems to be cooking smoke over there!" Sayuri said.

Qi Lin followed Sayuri's finger and looked, only to suddenly realize that they were on a low mountain.What appeared in front of me was a lowland, with shadowy houses located in it, which seemed to be a village.The houses are all made of thatch and stones, and they look like they have been around for a long time.Surrounded by all kinds of houses, there is also a round tent-like building, which is probably the place where people like the village chief and village master live.

Curls of cooking smoke scattered on the roof, staggering and drifting far away.Qi Lin could vaguely smell the aroma of food in the air.

"Go and have a look." Zhong Qing grabbed Qi Lin's abdomen and took the lead.

"I don't feel comfortable with you holding on like this." Qi Lin complained, while still pawing at Zhong Qing's arm with his claws.Zhong Qing is not the lean type, but the bones in his hands still make him uncomfortable.

"How do you want me to hug you?" Zhong Qing asked him.

Qi Lin didn't know the answer, after all, he had never encountered such a situation, let alone stayed in someone's arms for such a long time in his original body.Qi Lin struggled between Zhong Qing's arms, finally found a comfortable position that was not satisfactory, and relaxed a bit.

"I think this painting may be aimed at me." Qi Lin said, "Can you still feel the spiritual power in your body?"

Zhong Qing lowered her eyes slightly to look at him, and said, "Yes."

"I can't do it anymore. I can't even feel where my magic pill has gone." As soon as Qi Lin finished speaking, he felt the muscles under his body stiffen for a moment.

"Can't feel it?"

Looking up again, Zhong Qing had already frowned, and her entire face was gloomy.

Qi Lin only thought that something happened to him, and casually comforted him: "It's not a big deal, it should just be sealed, he's still in my body."

Zhong Qing gave a muffled "um" and stopped talking.

The mountains are full of lush vegetation, and there are also branches and vines on the soil. It is really difficult to go down the mountain.However, Qi Lin was happy and relaxed, after all, there was a humanoid means of transportation, and he rubbed against Zhong Qing's chest again and again with his head buried.

After a few minutes, Zhong Qing said to him: "When you enter the village, don't run around, don't leave me."

"Got it." Qi Lin said, "There is still a half-life contract between us, and I can't run very far."

"I'm not joking with you." Zhong Qing's tone was as cold as ice, and Qi Lin turned his head to look at him again, only to realize that his face was also as cold as frost and snow.

He rarely had such an expression, as if his whole body was covered in a black mist, making it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking.

Qi Lin reacted belatedly, Zhong Qing was probably really angry.

He picked up Qingqing's collar, kicked his legs and licked his chin, and said comfortingly: "Okay, I won't run around. I used to dislike me for being clingy, but now I want me to cling to you again. Immortal Jun is really hard to serve."

Zhong Qing grabbed his paw, rubbed it with a few fingers between the cushion, and then stuffed his whole cat into her arms.

Sayuri, who followed behind and witnessed the whole process, only felt that Peanut was hopeless, and she should find a place to bury herself here.

"You too." Zhong Qing turned his head and glanced at her, then said coolly.

"Okay Dad." Sayuri replied obediently.

Ahead is the village.

The gate of the village is a wooden wall several feet long, with spikes cut out at the end facing the sky. There is a deep ditch four to five meters wide in front of the wall, and the half-hanging wall is halfway across the top.An old tree stood behind the wooden wall, its slender branches protruding sideways.

"Demon Qi." Zhong Qing murmured.

"There is still aura, could it be a silly dog?" Sayuri asked.

Zhong Qing raised his eyes, and stroked Qi Lin's back vaguely with his fingers. He looked at the men on the observation deck behind the wall, and said, "Go and have a look."

A ditch of four or five meters is not difficult for a cultivator, but it is just a matter of lightness and jumping up.

Seeing a man and a woman suddenly appearing on the bridge, the sharp-eyed stalker hurriedly picked up the spears and arrows placed on the side, and shouted loudly: "Who are you!"

His accent is a bit strange, with a soft feeling, if it is a southern accent, it is not necessarily the case.These stalkers are all dressed in old clothes, and the styles are also rare, unlike the Central Plains clothes.Qi Lin searched in his mind, and felt that they didn't have such clothes at that time, but he was inexplicably familiar...

Sayuri and Zhong Qing looked at each other, and the latter said to her indifferently: "It's not the living."

If it is not a living person, then it is an illusion in the painting.I'm afraid this painting is a huge phantom array, driven by a way they don't know.Previously they thought that entering the painting was like opening up a new world, but in fact they just fell into a fantasy.Xiao Xiao and the others can go out after they find the formation hole.

However, the captain of the second team is not an idle person. If the formation is really easy to find, he will not disappear for a week.

Sayuri softly said to the stalkers on the stage: "Brother, we got separated from our companions. I want to ask, have two men come here recently?"

"What did you say?" He asked as if he didn't understand Sayuri's words.

"I said, did two men come here recently, about seven days ago." Sayuri repeated.

"Don't say seven days ago, it was seventy days, and no one came for seven hundred days."

Sayuri: "..."

It was like this in ancient times, with blocked news and inconvenient transportation, it was normal.She muttered in her heart, then turned her head and looked at Zhong Qing questioningly.

But she didn't want her to get a reply from Zhong Qing, the follower over there said again: "That person, what are you hugging?"

Hearing this, Qi Lin's ears trembled, Youyou raised his head, and he leaned on Zhongqing's arm and whispered: "It's your grandpa."

"My cat." Zhong Qing said indifferently.

The stalker standing in the front turned his head and communicated with his companion behind for a while, murmuring without knowing what he was talking about.Suddenly, he turned his head and said, "You two wait a moment."

Then a man climbed down from the top and hurriedly ran into the depths of the village.

The two looked at each other three times, not knowing what happened.

Three minutes later, a sound of horseshoes came from a distance.

The horse is a good horse, the footsteps are steady and powerful, the rider seems to be very anxious, and the sound of the horse's hooves is also very fast.

Qi Lin felt a palpitation for no reason.The part of the chest seemed to be lit by someone, and the flames were burning his flesh, as if something was about to come out of his body.He had never felt such a feeling before, the strangeness was shocking, and the feeling of being out of control swept over his whole body in an instant, the fluff all over his body exploded, and his claws unconsciously grabbed the flesh of love.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Qing felt that something was wrong with him, and rubbed his head to comfort him, but found that the temperature under his hand was astonishingly hot.

"It's okay." Qi Lin said softly, and raised his head with difficulty, trying to see clearly the culprit who affected him.

The bay red horse showed its whole figure from the corner, and a young man was sitting on the horse. He was wearing a deer fur with a dark coarse cloth bunt inside.

His horse stopped behind the watchtower, and his gaze fell directly on Zhong Qing's arm—to be precise, it should be Qi Lin in Zhong Qing's arms.

"Young master!" the follower called him.

The man looked up at them and nodded at them.

"A few days ago, you said that the white deer was lost. Two strangers came to the village today. Look at the one in his hand..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man: "Thank you."

Zhong Qing stared at the man, watching him step forward step by step.His eyes are narrow and long. When he is not smiling, he always gives people a gentle feeling, like willow leaves in March.

"White Deer." He half bent over and called out to Qi Lin.

However, Uncle Qi's whole body is in pain as if his bones have been dismantled, so he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to the words of white deer, black deer and sika deer.He curled up and shrank into Zhong Qing's arms, a groan whimpered from his mouth.

"He's not a white deer." Zhong Qing said coldly, and took a step back to distance himself from the man.

The latter took a fixed look at him, then turned his gaze to Qi Lin who was in his arms.

"Look at this cat, its fur is black and shiny, how could anyone name it 'White Deer'." Sayuri said.

"I will." The man said, and smiled at the two of them embarrassedly, "Sorry, maybe I made a mistake."

Zhong Qing looked at him and didn't speak.

"I also raised a black cat with the same color eyes." The man said again, "It got lost a few days ago, and I ran into you two in a moment of impatience."

Zhong Qing: "Nothing."

"The two of you are foreigners? Your clothes... are really unique."

"Ah."

The corner of the man's mouth twitched, but he still kept a gentle look on his face, and continued: "My lord Shanglu, if you two don't mind, would you like to come to the humble seat for a while?"

"Shanglu..." Said Baihe chanted the name, her expression changed, and she said in shock, "You are..."

"Bai Xiaohe." Zhong Qing interrupted her and shook her head.

"Thank you, Mr. Shang, for your kindness. The two of us are very happy."

Shang Lu smiled and said, "The two please follow me."

He stepped forward to lead the horse, and led them to the way he had come.

Sayuri tiptoed to Zhong Qing's side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "He said he was Shanglu, is that Shanglu that I know?"

Zhong Qing responded to her indifferently: "Yes."

"He's... that demon king? A thought becomes a demon, bloodbath... this whole village?"

"It's him."

The first time the demon Shanglu appeared in the world was 800 years ago.It was rumored that he was born in a village in the southwest, and he was the ancestor of Shen Zhou, the second-in-command of the Special Investigation Bureau.Shanglu was the first demon cultivator to reach the catastrophe stage, and also... the owner of the demon pill in Qi Lin's body.

Zhong Qing looked down at Qi Lin who was curled up in his arms, and injected her spiritual power into his body.

No wonder Qi Lin became like this when this person came.
