Jiu Chi sighed, "I've only heard about this. I don't know the specific details. I'll have to look it up to find out!"
"Then what you mean by recruiting me is that you want me to investigate?" Xiao Xu said quickly after hearing this.
Jiu Chi shook his head and said leisurely, "You have been working hard outside recently. I should handle this matter personally. You stay in the palace and pretend to be me and handle the daily government affairs. If you don't understand, please talk to the minister.
Let’s discuss it.”
Xiao Xu accepted the order and retreated, going out gracefully, thinking to himself, "Maybe the emperor has a problem with me for returning without success every time. However, returning without success is a last resort. Escape from danger and save your life."
, it’s already pretty good.”
And Jiuchi has already sent people to prepare their luggage and prepare to go to Yuehua Mountain in person.
I've been staying in the palace for a while, and I'm feeling really depressed. I wanted to go out and relax.
This time when traveling incognito, Jiu Chi wore a beggar's clothes for safety reasons, and also brought two highly skilled personal bodyguards with him.
However, in the palace, Jiu Chi was already a top-notch expert, so he brought guards just to be on the safe side.
Since Yuehua Mountain was only a day's journey from the royal city, Jiu Chi changed his horse riding to walking in order not to reveal his identity.
Jiu Chi and his party all wore broken straw hats, held a broken bowl in their left hand, and held a bamboo stick in their right hand.
It must be said that this disguise was very successful. Along the way, people kept throwing copper coins into their broken bowls.
The two guards are both strong men, pretending to be beggars, and have relatively few people who sympathize with them.
And Jiu Chiyue, with his thin figure and ragged clothes, really looked like a pitiful beggar.
Because I was not familiar with the road conditions on this trip, and I met an unscrupulous person who gave directions on the way, I didn't reach Yuehua Mountain even after dark.
Fortunately, we arrived at a small town before dark.
This town is called Blackstone.
Although the name of Blackstone Town is not pleasant, it can be said to be a beautiful town.
The town was full of women, children and the elderly, but few young people were seen. Jiu Chi wondered whether he was in the legendary daughter's country.
Jiu Chi thought about it and was about to find someone to ask the reason, but he met a fortune teller.
The fortune teller was wearing a Taoist robe, his beard and hair were all white, and he looked a little thin.
Jiu Chi was shocked. This fortune teller seemed to be an accomplished person.
The fortune teller touched his long beard and said with a smile, "This young master has extraordinary bearing and is definitely not a beggar. If I am not mistaken, you are -"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a guard next to him, "What do you want to say?" He glared at the fortune teller fiercely, indicating that he was not allowed to say anything.
Another guard shouted, "Old man, get out of the way, or I'll beat you up." He raised his fist.
The fortune teller said slowly, "It's okay not to say anything, but I still want to tell you something!"
Jiu Chi saw that the fortune teller was not afraid of the threats from the guards, so what he said must be important, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
The fortune teller smiled and said leisurely, "Don't you see that there are no young men in this small town?"
Jiu Chi nodded and said, "I also discovered this problem. Is there any hidden secret?"
The fortune teller said in a deep voice, "What is a hidden secret to you, but to the people in the town, it is a well-known thing."
Jiu Chi hurriedly asked, "What on earth is going on? Don't be so mysterious!"
The fortune teller said seriously, "There is a banshee in this town who specializes in sucking the blood of young men!"
When the three of them heard this, their expressions became serious, and Jiu Chi touched his neck unnaturally.
Then Jiu Chi chuckled and said, "It's okay, at worst we won't sleep tonight, or we'll take turns sleeping!"
The fortune teller cupped his hands and said, "As long as it doesn't get in the way, then I can rest assured!" After saying that, he laughed three times and walked away.
Jiu Chi and the others came to an inn, the signboard of which was the Black Stone Inn.
It must be the largest inn in this town. There are more people staying in the big inn, and at least it feels less cold.
Jiu Chi and the three of them stayed in a guest room together and paid for the room. As soon as Jiu Chi left the inn to go shopping, he suddenly found that the fortune teller was also in the inn.
Jiu Chi thought, "Is this fortune teller following us, has some agenda, or is he a monster? But this old man looks very fairy-like and does not look like a monster."
Jiu Chi patted the fortune teller on the shoulder, and the fortune teller slowly turned back and said, "Young man, we meet again!"
Jiu Chi cupped his hands and smiled slightly, "Nice to meet you, fortunate to meet you, I see you everywhere!"
The fortune teller seemed to understand Jiu Chi's thoughts, cleared his throat and said, "Let's talk in the room if we have anything to say!"
After entering the room, the fortune teller closed the door and said, "Do you suspect that I am following you? In fact, I am here to protect you."
Jiu Chi asked in shock, "Protect me?"
The fortune teller nodded and smiled, "Yes, I came to this town to kill the succubus that sucks the blood of young men. I have been here for a few days, but I didn't expect that the men in the town would not dare to spend the night here. I did not attract the succubus.
The bait we came here finally got you three today." After saying this, his face showed a look of joy.
Jiu Chi muttered, "Bait, bait, you actually treat us as bait!"
The fortune teller said sternly, "You said it would be okay, and I didn't force you."
Jiu Chi sighed, "Well, I can only spend the night here tonight. I want to see what the witch can do to me!"
The night was already dark, but the demon girl did not come, and the so-called fortune teller who subdued demons did not see any movement.
Jiu Chi yawned and said to the guards, "You guys go to bed first!"
When the two guards heard this, they quickly said in fear, "I don't dare!"
Jiu Chi smiled slightly and said, "I told you to sleep, just sleep. I ordered you to sleep immediately. Do you want to resist and disobey?"
The two guards had no choice but to go to sleep.
Jiu Chifei sat on the roof. Tonight was a full moon night, and the bright moonlight shone on the roof, as if it was covered with a layer of gauze.
The cool breeze blows through at night, making people feel a little bit chilly.
Looking around from the rooftop, the quiet town is full of mystery under the moonlight.
Jiu Chi used the invisibility technique to hide himself and quietly waited for the arrival of the witch.
Jiu Chi is full of confidence in his ability to conquer this demon, because he has made great progress in practicing the Tianxuan Secret Code recently.
There should be no problem in dealing with the vampire demon. Besides, there is also the fortune teller this time, so the chances of winning are even better.
But it’s not necessarily the case, what if the physiognomist’s skills are not good enough to get in the way.
Perhaps he was too lonely at night. Jiu Chi suddenly remembered Xue Ling who died to save him that day. As he recalled it, a feeling of sadness arose in his heart.
As I was thinking about it, my vision became a little hazy. Suddenly, a woman's figure flew into the window of the two guards' room like lightning.
Jiu Chi thought to himself, "It's too bad. With the strength of those two guards, I'm afraid they will be killed!"
Jiu Chi stood up suddenly and was about to save the guard.
At this time, suddenly another figure quickly rushed into the window, seemingly the fortune teller.
Jiu Chi's figure slowed down, thinking that no matter how low the physiognomist's skill was, he could at least maintain it.
