"What's going on in the street?" Zhao Xiaoye came to the supermarket early in the morning holding an umbrella, and asked after entering the door: "Why are there so many lonely ghosts?"

Su Chi took a sip of his coffee, flipped through the book and replied coolly, "It's not just on the street."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoye glanced around the supermarket, and sure enough, he saw a ghost sipping milk in the corner of the water dispenser.

Xiao Long was squatting next to the ghost, and there were many empty milk boxes and all kinds of tools to ward off evil scattered in the open space between the two of them.Xiao Cage is like treating a full-moon child who is drawing lots, constantly pushing various things in front of the ghost, asking it to identify them with great interest.

After observing for a while, Zhao Xiaoye secretly asked Su Chi, "What happened to her?"

Su Zhi didn't turn his head back and said: "It's been a night, it's like picking up a treasure."

Zhao Xiaoye was startled and said, "Take ghosts as treasures?"

Su Chi pouted and nodded.

Zhao Xiaoye was in an uproar.

Xiaolong jumped out from the corner and said to Zhao Xiaoye: "If it wasn't for it last night, Su Chi and I would have been overwhelmed by ghosts. The ghosts are all over the street. Look at the flowers and plants on the roadside. Isn't most of them dead?"

"Even if it's the Hungry Ghost Festival, the ghost clan wouldn't gather together like this." Zhao Xiaoye wondered, "It's still a gathering with such an obvious destination. Could it be that someone led it on purpose?"

Su Chi immediately remembered the mysterious person who disappeared, "Could it be him?"

Zhao Xiaoye hesitated and said, "If it's him, he took such pains to lure the ghosts of the whole city to surround you, but nothing happened, what's the purpose of doing this?"

"He didn't want to kill us," Su Chi said. "The last time he summoned the earth cow, he just wanted to trigger a natural disaster to attract the dragon. He probably thought that we already had news about the dragon, and even more so. Or, we have found the dragon."

Zhao Xiaoye nodded, "It makes sense."

Su Chi said again: "This person is too vicious and decisive, and he will do anything to achieve his goal. He just wants to find out the information, even if it destroys millions of people."

"Then what do you think the ghosts paraded through the streets last night for?" Xiao Long asked.

It was Zhao Xiaoye who answered, "Hundreds of ghosts gather, yin and death are lingering, dragons are true gods, guarding one side, if you were surrounded by ghosts last night and you were unscathed, a paranoid person like him may be even more convinced that you have something to hide. Facts about Shenlong."

"Is it another investigation?" Su Chi whispered, "This person is not only ruthless, but also well-organized and well-planned in his work. When you meet this kind of person, run away if you can, don't fight recklessly."

Xiao Long pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "But he didn't take that ghost Zhong Kui into consideration."

"Huh?" Zhao Xiaoye asked, "Zhong Kui among ghosts?"

"That's it." Xiaolong pointed to the ghost sitting next to the drinking fountain drinking milk, and said with a smile, "I think I probably know why it looks like a ghost but isn't a ghost anymore."

Su Chi looked at her and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Long smiled and said, "Do you still remember that I told you that in my family, my grandfather was once a living creature?"

Su Chi suddenly understood, and said in surprise, "You mean, it's not dead yet?"

Zhao Xiaoye looked at the ghost and said in amazement: "Since it is a living creature, its body must still be alive somewhere, but it has lost the consciousness of being alive."

"There is another interesting point." Xiaolong said with a smile: "You must have noticed the dead flowers and plants in the green belt across the street, right?"

Zhao Xiaoye and Su Chi nodded together.

Xiaolong smiled slyly: "But have you noticed? The dogtail grass under our glass wall is alive."

Su Chi stayed in the store all the time, and Zhao Xiaoye went straight in through the gate. The two of them really didn't pay attention to the weeds in the corner.

Xiao Cage said: "Those wild ghosts wanted to smash our glass wall last night. Wherever the dead ghosts passed by, the flowers and plants were all withered, not to mention our wall, but this weed under the corner of the wall survived. Don't you find it strange?"

Su Chi and Zhao Xiaoye looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to explain for a while.

Xiaolong stared at Zhao Xiaoye, with a sly smile on his face, and said slowly: "I have another possibility in mind."

Zhao Xiaoye asked: "What possibility?"

Xiao Long said: "The grass outside our house may have actually died once, but for some reason, it came back to life."

Zhao Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, then understood, surprised and delighted.

Xiaolong nodded and said: "Yes, I can only think of Qinglong God who can revive dead plants. Among the five elements, the east is green, so the spirit god calls it Qinglong. Qinglong belongs to wood. It palms spring and revives all things. Hundreds of herbs are luxuriant. In addition, the living spirit can only explain why those evil spirits are ineffective against it, but it cannot explain why it can become a sharp tool to exorcise ghosts."

Su Chi also realized: "If it has divinity in itself, then everything can be explained."

"Ha!" Xiaolong slapped his palm fiercely, and said with a smile, "Zhao Xiaoye, if this happens as we expected, it will come without any effort!"

Zhao Xiaoye strode up to the ghost in the corner, squatted down, and asked it, "What's your name?"

"It forgot." Xiaolong replied for the ghost: "So I decided to call it Zhong Kui for the time being, Zhong Kui among the ghosts."

Su Chi glanced at her with a faint smile.

Xiao Cage blinked in response.

Zhao Xiaoye asked anxiously: "Then how can we find its body and make it really wake up? Xiaolong, can you find this person?"

Xiao Long waved his hands again and again, and said, "I can't do this. A person whose soul is out of his body, even if he is still alive, is still a living dead, completely unconscious, in the vast crowd, how could I notice him. "

"That time, Master Wulong..." Su Chi asked.

Xiao Cage took it for granted: "The one that was brought to me is the same as the one that asked me to look for it. It's like two houses, one with its doors and windows open, and the other with its doors and windows closed. They want me to go in and steal things, of course it's the former." It’s easier than the latter.”

This metaphor is easy to understand, and even Zhao Xiaoye, who is most anxious about the Azure Dragon God, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although Zhao Xiaoye and Xiaolong were both standing in front of the cashier and talking, their eyes were actually diverted to the creature in the corner. Therefore, when the creature that was drinking milk with relish suddenly disappeared, Zhao Xiaoye He and Xiaolong both exclaimed in surprise.

"Where is Qinglong?"

"Where is Zhong Kui!"

Su Chi, who couldn't see anything, asked, "What's wrong? Has it disappeared?"

Xiao Long had already rushed back to the water dispenser, searching every corner carefully, muttering, "Where is Zhong Kui, where is Zhong Kui..."

Zhao Xiaoye was also dumbfounded, and stood there in a daze, losing his mind for a while.

These people can control monsters and kill beasts, but they can't do anything about spirit bodies that come and go without a trace.

After the computer screen went black, the time clock just jumped out. Su Chi glanced at it, it was seven o'clock in the morning.

I don't know why, this time is like a plastic bullet hit her body by a child's prank, it is not painful, but it is recorded in her heart with a bang.

Xiaolong searched around but couldn't find the disappearing creature, and finally returned to Su Chi with a dejected look, and said dejectedly: "I was wrong, I shouldn't get carried away..."

Su Chi stared at her for a while, and finally reached out to touch her head, and gently rubbed the top of her white soft hair as a comfort.

Zhao Xiaoye felt unbalanced, so he stretched his head over and said, "The Qinglong I was looking for was lost, so I should be comforted!"

Su Chi looked at the black head approaching Si Si, and said coldly, "By the way, there was so much commotion last night, and the house is not far from here. Why don't you have any news at all, and no one came to support?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoye straightened his neck, rubbed his nose and laughed.

"It's a typical lying action for a man to touch his nose." Su Chi said coldly, "Tell me why you didn't come here."

"This..." Zhao Xiaoye said with a guilty conscience: "... Qian Fan bought a bunch of meat last night, and the three of us roasted the meat on the balcony all night. After eating and drinking enough, we just... just... slept It's..."

After talking about it, Zhao Xiaoye, the dignified young master of the Zhao family, lowered his head in shame, and didn't dare to look at Su Chi again.

---

The barbecue trio sat side by side in the corner, facing the wall and thinking about their mistakes.

Qian Fan sat at the position closest to the wall, and said angrily: "Zhao Xiaoye, I didn't eat your food and drink yours, you ate mine and drank mine, it's fine if you don't care about the grace of eating meat, but in the end you dragged me into the water , I can see your villainous face clearly, I hate eating meat, I still treat you as a brother, and gave you the best piece of pork belly!"

Zhao Xiaoye also had a frowning face, and complained in a low voice: "I didn't know that Su Zhi was really cruel enough to make us face the wall and think about it."

Qian Fan muttered for a while, looked at Su Qiu who was sitting beside him as if nothing had happened, and said strangely: "Why do you guys treat your situation so calmly?"

Su Qiu raised his eyebrows and said with a calm smile, "I'm used to it."

"..." Qian Fan said angrily, "Slavery!"

"..." Zhao Xiaoye shook his head, "It's better to say, Su Qiu, how much trouble have you caused your sister since childhood?"

Xiao Long jumped behind them with fried chicken-flavored potato chips in his arms, and said arrogantly, "Hey! Who allowed you to whisper?"

Zhao Xiaoye remembered something, frowned and said: "No, Su Chi is the youngest among us, right? Su Qiu is fine, Qian Fan and I are old... Ouch!"

Qian Fan patted Zhao Xiaoye's head with his palm, and said angrily, "Who are you saying is getting old?"

Zhao Xiaoye was accidentally slapped on the neck by her, and the physical sensitivity he had trained for decades was seriously humiliated. He jumped up on the spot, spread his hands and feet, and said with a serious face: "Qianfan, let's make gestures."

Qian Fan also jumped up, brushed the hem of his clothes, made a bow, and said seriously: "Brother Zhao, please enlighten me."

Su Qiu and Xiao Long stepped back immediately, chatting, sharing potato chips, chirping, betting on who would win.

Expert duels not only pay attention to preemptive strikes, but also pay attention to ready to attack. Zhao Xiaoye and Qian Fan are both experts in close combat. Both Su Qiu and Xiao Long have lost to them, but the two of them have never fought against each other.

The atmosphere in the living room was stagnant, everyone was waiting.

The potato chips in Xiaolong's mouth even stopped chewing involuntarily, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Su Chi walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of seasonings in his hand. Seeing this scene, he said coldly, "Don't think that if you kill each other, there is no need for noodles here."

A word is faster than the fastest sword, sharper than the sharpest knife, the wind blows and breaks, instantly breaking the chilling atmosphere in the living room.

"Tch!" Zhao Xiaoye stopped.

"Go." Qian Fan let go of his anger.

Xiao Long picked up the potato chips that fell on the ground, but Su Qiu slapped them off.

"Stolen." Su Qiu grabbed new potato chips from the bag and fed them into Xiaolong's mouth, then turned to ask Su Chi, "Do you have any plans about that living creature?"

Xiaolong said depressedly: "There is no way, it disappeared in the morning and never reappeared."

"You all ran back, how do you know if it reappeared?" Qian Fan asked.

Zhao Xiaoye said, "Isn't there monitoring in the store?"

Qian Fan said: "But the monitoring can't capture the spirit body."

Zhao Xiaoye laughed and said, "The monitoring can't photograph the spirit body, but it can photograph the milk box."

Xiaolong and Zhao Xiaoye showed sinister smiles on their faces.

Su Chi asked: "There is bean curd at noon, do you eat salty or sweet?"

Xiao Long tilted his head, wondering, "Is this important?"

Before she could finish her sentence, two black shadows leaped past her, and she saw Qian Fan and Zhao Xiaoye leaping to Su Chi's left and right, pulling her and shouting.

Xiaolong listened carefully, and realized that what they were arguing about was actually the difference between sweet and salty.

Although Su Chi was caught shaking from side to side, he still looked at Xiaolong firmly and said seriously, "Do you still think it's not important?"

Xiao Cage said that she was taught again.
