[Rat cat] Jade Xu Luo Qianqiu

From Shen Jingtong's mouth, Zhan Zhao roughly understood the whole picture of the matter.As the neighbors said, Chen Ping used to be hospitable and generous, but now his temperament has changed drastically.

"The last time I met him, he only changed his arms into Yanjia. Now, except for his head, almost his whole body has turned into Yanjia. And when I talked with him, I found that his eyes sometimes become very strange. Empty, words and deeds will appear very stiff, like... like a puppet being manipulated by someone."

"Manipulated? Could it be a Gu worm from Southern Border?" Zhan Zhao was startled.

"Mao'er, don't forget, there are many crooked ways in the Jianghu, and there are many ways to control people's minds."

"It shouldn't be a Gu worm. The Gu on my body didn't respond." Seeing the two of them looking at her, Shen Jingtong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said slowly: "I have been to Miaojiang, and this Gu worm was a gift from a friend. If When encountering other Gu insects, this Gu insect became restless.

The three discussed to no avail, so they went to the study again, hoping to find any clues.The others were groping around, but Bai Yutang was staring at the painting on the wall next to the desk.

The painter of the painting cannot say how good it is, but he only roughly drew a few peach blossoms in full bloom, with the peach and white contrasting each other, and a few swallows hovering in the sky.There seems to be nothing wrong with the whole painting, but... Bai Yutang just has a strange feeling lingering in his heart, which he can't get rid of.

"Cat, come and have a look."

Zhan Zhao heard the words and came over to stare at the painting, and Shen Jingtong also ran over to join in the fun.

"This painting...is so strange." Shen Jingtong rubbed her chin and said to herself.

The three of them stared fixedly for a while, but still saw nothing.Zhan Zhao recruited servants to ask where the painting came from, but the servants all shook their heads to express their ignorance, saying that it was only half a year ago when the master came back.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Shen Jingtong proposed to go to a nearby small stall to have dinner first.

"Brother Bai, brother Bai!" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Bai Yutang's eyes, and Bai Yutang, who was wandering in the sky, finally came back to his senses.

"Ok?"

"If you don't eat it, your wonton will be cold."

"Ah? Oh." He absently picked up a wonton and put it into his mouth. He swallowed it before he could taste the taste, and then stretched out his hand to pinch it again...

"..." Zhan Zhao looked at the empty chopsticks in his hand, and was speechless for a while.

What the hell was this mouse doing? He just wanted to bring him back to his senses, but he snatched his own wonton away.Are you a true traveler or a fake traveler...

Together with evil intentions, Zhan Zhao narrowed his cat eyes, a hint of cunning flashed in them.Pick up a piece of ginger and put it in Bai Yutang's bowl, then...

"Cough, cough, cough! What is this! Bah, bah, bah!" Bai Yutang's eyes were so hot that he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he spit out his mouth with a wrinkled face.After a closer look, it turned out to be a piece of ginger.Looking at it again, Shen Jingtong is as light and motionless as a mountain, silently eating her own wonton; and the cat is looking at the scenery outside with its chin resting on its cheeks, seemingly ignorant of it—if you ignore the touch at the corner of his mouth, no matter what. Sneaky and smiling words that cannot be hidden.

"Mao'er, you are so unkind. You are also from Jiangnan, don't you know that Grandpa Bai is not used to this food?"

"Huh? Brother Bai, what are you talking about?" Zhan Zhao seemed to have just recovered from the beautiful scenery outside, staring at a pair of black and white cat eyes with an innocent face.

"..." You pretend, you pretend for me again!Bai Yutang gritted his teeth.

However, Jiangnan... Peach Blossom... Swallow... That's how it is!Hehehe, cat, tell you to tease me, here comes the present report.

"I think I already know the answer to the riddle in that painting." Pretending to be indifferent, he glanced sideways and saw that the cat really sat up straight, straightened its face, and assumed a posture of listening carefully. Even Shen Jingtong on the side stopped her chopsticks.

"However, if you want to know the answer, cat, you must first agree to one condition." Bai Yutang picked up a chopstick and casually tapped on the edge of the bowl, making a crisp "ding ding dong dong" sound.

"Brother Bai is referring to...?"

"You don't have to worry about the conditions Wuye said, just agree or...not agree." Seeing Zhan Zhao frowning, hesitant to speak, he added, "Don't worry, we won't be with you." Those of your righteousness are in conflict."

"...Okay." Responded hesitantly.

"Then..." Bai Yutang rolled his eyes, raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Cat, it's called Fifth Lord."

"Huh? Bai Yutang?"

"Remove the last name."

"Ah...Yutang." The name lingered on the tip of his tongue for a long time before he spit it out slowly. When he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao felt a little hot in his ears.

"..." Bai Yutang originally only wanted to tease the cat, but he didn't expect to hear this soft voice with some Jiangnan's mellowness. He just felt that something scratched his heart lightly. It was just right and itchy. Yes, but very comfortable.

"Cough..." Bai Yutang pretended to cough, "Let's call him Fifth Master from now on."

"Ah?" Seeing Zhan Zhao's bewildered look, he couldn't help but deepen the smile on his lips, "This is the condition. Mao'er, you are a gentleman, don't you still want to break your promise and get fat?"

"...Bai" Seeing Bai Yutang glaring at him, Zhan Zhao quickly changed his words, "Yutang is too worried."

Bai Zhan and Bai Zhan in this room said this as if no one was there, as if they completely ignored Shen Jingtong in that room.

Shen Jingtong: ...I seem to have seen something terrible... When I go back, I must kiss my family and talk about it.

"Mao'er, you and I are both from Jiangnan, have you ever seen a scene where peach blossoms are in full bloom and swallows are flying together?"

"...It seems... that I have never seen it before." Zhan Zhao frowned, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "So that's it!"

"That's right, the reason why we think that painting is strange is because the painting itself has problems." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and continued: "The peach blossoms in the Jiangnan area mostly bloom around the Qingming Festival, and the swallows at this time It is at the time of courtship and reproduction, where did the young swallows flying in the painting come from?"

"So this painting refers to the place where the film and television peach blossoms can be delayed until the young swallows are flying."

"According to what Mr. Zhan said, there is only one place I can think of." Seeing the two of them looking at her, Shen Jingtong shrugged her shoulders, "There is a mountain three miles west of Chen's house, named Yanshan Mountain. There are many peach blossoms on the mountain, because the mountain is steep and the altitude is high, the temperature on the mountain is usually relatively low. The peach blossom season in the mountain is also much later than that in the Jiangnan area."

"Then brother Laochen will lead the way tomorrow."

"Good talk, good talk."

the next day.Yanshan.

In the early morning, Zhongyan Mountain is lush with trees, shrouded in humidity and cool.Everyone was walking on the path in the mountain, only hearing a few birdsong occasionally, making it even more silent.

"If brother Shen hadn't led the way, Zhan would not have known that there is such a place near Kaifeng."

"I just discovered it by accident."

The two were talking, when they suddenly saw a peach forest in front of them, and a dilapidated temple loomed in the forest.

The three of them walked into the ruined temple, only to see cobwebs strewn across the ruined temple, dust all over the ground, and a rotten smell filled the air.Seeing this, Bai Yutang couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose, his face was full of disgust.

"It seems that no one has been to this ruined temple for a long time. Why don't we..." Before Bai Yutang finished speaking, a "meow" suddenly came from behind the statue.

Everyone was shocked and quickly stared at the statue.I saw a child about two or three years old crawling out from behind the statue, with only a few leaves covering his whole body.When the child with two buns tied into the sky saw Zhan Zhao, his eyes were full of surprises, and he turned into a gray, chubby, cat-like animal with a "plop", and then turned towards Zhan Zhao with a "plop". Zhao ran, apparently wanting to jump directly into Zhan Zhao's arms.

The little guy's ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.When I jumped halfway, I just felt that something was wrong. Why did I seem to be caught in mid-air?Turning his head to look, he saw a "sinister" looking guy in white clothes pinching the soft flesh around his neck, letting his four short legs flap around in the air.

"Brother Bai, wait." Seeing that Bai Yutang seemed about to throw the little guy out of the ruined temple, Shen Jingtong hurriedly stopped him and took the little guy into her arms.

"What kind of demon are you?"

"Meow? How do you know I'm a demon~meow?" As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy felt a few looks of contempt, especially from the man in white.

The little guy was stunned for a while, and belatedly remembered that he was so happy after smelling the good smell just now, and directly turned into a prototype in front of these people.Turning his head to look at Zhan Zhao, the aura of this monster is so good, it really is the suzerain of their clan, but...

"Meow~ I'm a demon, why aren't you afraid of me?!" After finishing speaking, she straightened her chest, although she couldn't tell where her chest was based on her chubby figure.But the little guy hadn't finished his complacency when he was hit by someone Bai's eyes, "Even if you are a monster, you are only a monster with little fighting power".

With drooping head, she nestled in Shen Jingtong's arms and remained silent.But... Looking up at Shen Jingtong, this person...how could there be a breath of the gods?Although it was already very faint, it was sure that it was indeed the aura of the Protoss.

Sneaking up to glance at Shen Jingtong again, I saw a smile on the corner of the man's mouth, his appearance...indescribably treacherous.

Sensing the little guy's gaze, Shen Jingtong lowered her head and said, "Okay, little guy, tell me the truth, or I'll throw you here."

"Meow~ My name is Huai Xiaoyao, it's a Huai Yao meow~ The child you saw just now is my human form. I was chased and killed by a sect cultivating immortals a few days ago, and then I fled here. Today I am in the red clothes The person who smells good smells, so I can't help but come out~" After finishing speaking, he raised his little nose, and his expression was like saying, "If I couldn't help coming out, you wouldn't find me Well~ hum~"

"...You mean that Zhan has a good smell?" Zhan Zhao was shocked when he heard this, raised his sleeve and sniffed - there was no smell at all.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang grinned and moved to Zhan Zhao's side, put his hands on Zhan Zhao's shoulders, sniffed all over Zhan Zhao's body with his nose, and scratched Zhan Zhao from time to time, making Zhan Zhao's face flushed.

"Bai Yutang!"

"Eh? Don't be angry, cat, I'm just helping you to smell it. Fifth Master, my nose is very sharp!"

"Then what did you smell? Huh?" Zhan Zhao said while clenching his fists, as if Bai Yutang would beat him up if he couldn't say one, two, three.

"Of course I smell it, it smells like a cat. Could it be that you, cat, were really transformed by a cat demon?"

"Look and fight!" Zhan Zhao greeted with a punch, Bai Yutang hurriedly dodged, and the two started fighting in this small ruined temple, or... um... started to fight.

As for the one person and one monster left alone...

Huai Xiaoyao: Meow~ How does this annoying guy know that the big brother in red clothes is a cat demon? Darling, I miss you so much...

But... Xiaoyao Huai is a demon, and Zhan Zhao is a human being, so how could he feel that his breath smells good?Generally speaking, this is only the case between demons. Could it be that... Zhan Zhao...

Shen Jingtong lowered her head, the shadow cast by her eyelashes just blocked her eyes, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

After the two of them finished their moves, Zhan Zhao belatedly remembered that there seemed to be...like...probably...there might be someone there, and his ears turned red.

Seriously, what to do with Bai Yutang seriously is a joke for nothing.

"I'm sorry, I made brother Chen laugh." He apologized, but he scolded the troublesome white mouse thousands of times in his heart.

"...It's okay." Shen Jingtong twitched the corners of her mouth and spat out two words with difficulty.

When the fun is over, it's time to get down to business.After Zhan Zhao explained the purpose of coming to Huai Xiaoyao, Huai Xiaoyao thought for a while, pulled out a black box from the back of the statue, and said, "Meow~ This is the meow that that person hid~"
