Chapter 73 The Strange Ning Xi
Hearing Xiaojing reveal his identity, Mai Xiaorou and I froze in place for an instant. We thought that Xiaojing was just a powerful noble in the North China Bureau, but we never thought that he was actually in charge of the entire North China Bureau. man of.

Seeing that Mai Xiaorou and I were stunned, Xiao Jing smiled slightly and said: "Okay, you don't have to be so surprised, maybe we will have many opportunities to work together in the future, you have a lot of opportunities to understand me, okay, let's stop here today , Girl Dihuang arranged a room for you on the second floor, you stay here for now, everyone will come here to find you tomorrow morning."

After all, Xiao Jing took a sip of tea, then picked up his birdcage and entered the wreath shop from this yard, it seemed that he was about to leave.

Li Dihuang directly said to Xiao Jing: "Uncle Xiao, you're leaving now. Brother Li took Aunt Mengmeng and Aunt Zhuyao to run back and forth. It's too boring to leave me here alone. I want to go back to Dragon City!"

dragon city?what is that place
Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Girl Dihuang, it's useless for you to complain to me, you have to tell Shengzun to see if he will let you go back?"

Li Dihuang remained silent.

Xiao Jing smiled and left the wreath shop.

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't go directly to the second floor, but went to the wreath shop to greet Li Dihuang, she smiled at us and said: "Your case this time is about Zhenhuang, you have to do your best. Otherwise, I will not forgive you lightly."

She won't spare us?

Could it be that this case has something to do with her?

Next, Li Dihuang didn't tell us anything else, so he led us to the second floor. The room has been prepared for us. It's not big inside, but it's very clean. Most importantly, the aura of the room is very good. It is enough, one day of breath adjustment inside can beat me to adjust breath outside for more than ten days.

Seeing that I sensed the aura inside, Li Dihuang said: "The next door is the room where Aunt Mengmeng lives, so this room has a lot of aura, and my aunt's room is even more aura, but I warn you not to come into my room casually." Auntie's room, otherwise you will die miserably."

Although Aunt Mengmeng looks like a cute rabbit, her aura is several times stronger than that of Li Guidao and Wang Tahan. I don't want to provoke such a powerful rabbit.

After arranging the room for us, Li Dihuang didn't say anything to me, and went downstairs directly. She said that her room is next to the study downstairs, and we can go to her directly if we have anything to do.

When I got to the room, I started to adjust my breath directly to absorb enough spiritual energy. If I didn't practice here, it would be a waste.

Under this sufficient spiritual energy, Mai Xiaorou's life and soul are also recovering at a faster rate. If we come here to live for a month or so, it can be compared with our recovery in other places for seven or eight months. Maybe Mai Xiaorou's injury It's completely fine.

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't say much, and the night gradually deepened.

The next morning, when I opened my eyes, I found that I had fallen asleep while adjusting my breath again, and I lay straight on the bed.

And Mai Xiaorou is still adjusting her breath, she seems to have not slept all night.

Seeing that I woke up, Mai Xiaorou said: "Chen Yu, my soul is recovering very quickly here. By the way, I remember you told me about Aunt Mengmeng and Aunt Zhuyao. Is Aunt Mengmeng really a rabbit, and Aunt Zhuyao really has a lot of tentacles? Are they really demons and demons?"

After waking up, why did Mai Xiaorou become a "problem" lady?
The last time I saw Aunt Mengmeng and Aunt Zhuyao, I told her everything shortly after she woke up, but it's a pity that she never had the chance to see it with her own eyes.

But she didn't show much interest all the time, what happened today?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Mai Xiaorou was stunned for a moment and said, "Chen Yu, you haven't noticed that although the spiritual energy here is sufficient, it is not pure Yang spiritual energy, but feminine soul-replenishing energy. , Nine out of ten times my soul is healed, even if I use spells, it won't cause any serious problems."

I was surprised: "It's so much better?"

Mai Xiaorou nodded.

At this time, we suddenly heard Li Dihuang say outside the door: "The spiritual energy here is also called soul-replenishing energy. It is left by Aunt Mengmeng. It is the head of the five ghosts and the king of all ghosts. It can bewitch you. It nourishes other ghosts, and ghosts are all made up of souls, so the aura of aunt has a miraculous effect on nourishing souls and ghosts."

Mai Xiaorou was surprised and said: "Then like you, Dihuang, who often practice with Aunt Mengmeng, your soul should be very strong."

Li Dihuang did not answer Mai Xiaorou's question, but said to us: "Okay, pack up and get ready to go, Zhang Rui, Tang Qing and Ning Xi are waiting for you outside the door."

Are they coming?

Mai Xiaorou and I didn't delay too much. After tidying up, we went downstairs.

When we got out of the wreath shop, we found two cars parked at the door, one was black, it was driven by Zhang Rui and Tang Qing, and the other was red, it was Ning Xi's car, I recognized it.

When they walked out of the wreath shop, Zhang Rui, Tang Qing and Ning Xi were talking around Li Dihuang. They were very respectful to Li Dihuang, as if they were afraid of offending him.

Also, it is understandable that the daughter of one of the three saints, Li Dihuang, enjoys this support.

Seeing us coming out, Li Dihuang said: "Okay, let's go when you are all here. I won't prepare breakfast for you. What I hate the most is cooking."

Speaking of which, Li Dihuang waved her hand and went back to the wreath shop. Then she put up a sign saying it was closed, and knocked on the door.

The few of us looked at each other for a while, and then Zhang Rui spoke first: "Chen Yu, Patriarch Xiao has already explained this matter, you are the person in charge of this case, we will listen to you, how should we arrange it next?" .”

I thought for a while and said: "I don't have any arrangements, Xiao Jing, uh, it's Senior Xiao who said that our purpose this time is to investigate first and then solve it, so we went to the place first and did some inspections over there. Let’s discuss it later.”

Zhang Rui nodded, Tang Qing didn't speak, but Ning Xi said with a look of disbelief, "You don't have much experience, so don't order us to dig into the gutter."

I ignored Ning Xi.

The place we are going to this time is called Bainiao Village, which is located deep in the Taihang Mountains. We need to go to a town, leave the car in the town, and then hike into the mountain to find it.

Bainiao Village is closed to traffic.

After driving for more than three hours, we arrived at the small town. We took a brief rest in the small town and then started to enter the mountain. Actually, I didn't know how to get to Bainiao Village. Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were all along the way. leading the way.

Me, Mai Xiaorou and Ning Xi followed behind.

Although Zhang Rui and Tang Qing are not Xiaojing's people, they are important junior figures in the North China Branch Bureau, so it is normal to know something about the important place guarded by the Xiao family.

We walked up a mountain road. At first, there were pagoda trees and thorns all over the mountain, but after walking for half a day, we found that the pagoda trees and thorns became less, and the whole mountain became plane trees.

Just after the new year, the heavy snow of the past few days has not completely disappeared, and some white snow is still hanging on the branches of the plane trees. At first glance, there is really a grand scene of "thousands of trees and thousands of pear blossoms".

Seeing so many sycamore trees, I couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Rui said next to him: "Huangniao's favorite is the sycamore tree, which is why the Xiao family planted so many sycamore trees here."

Tang Qing followed suit and said, "That's right, seeing this sycamore forest, we have reached the outskirts of Bainiao Village. After walking for half a day, we should be able to reach the inside of the village."

I couldn't help asking: "It will take half a day. It's getting dark now. After another half day, it will be night. Should we rest here first and leave tomorrow morning?"

Ning Xi smiled at me and said, "Chen Yu, you are the person in charge of this case. How we proceed and whether we should rest or not is up to you. If you don't let us rest, how dare we rest?"

This Ning Xi spoke eccentrically along the way. I always felt that she was not simply dissatisfied with me for being the talker, but also a little jealous of me being the talker.

Hearing what Ning Xi said, I said, "Well, everything is up to me, right? Well, we will camp here, and we will rest at night. Ning Xi will keep watch!"

Ning Xi stared at me angrily and said, "You..."

I chose to "hum" and said: "What's wrong with me, I'm the talker!"

Ning Xi "hummed" without saying a word, then walked to the side.

This tent was prepared by Zhang Rui. When we entered the mountain, each of us carried one. After I said that we set up camp here, everyone started to set up their own tents.

When everything was done, we built a fire and got something to eat.

After eating, everyone went to sleep, and Ning Xi was indeed assigned to watch the night, but I definitely wouldn't arrange for her to watch the whole night, waiting for Zhang Rui and I to take turns in the second half of the night.

In the middle of the night, when I was on duty, I went out of the tent with a flashlight to look for Ning Xi, but I found that Ning Xi was not near the camp at all.

I went to her tent to have a look, and found a note pasted on the mouth of the tent, with a few words written on it: "Go to sleep, I'm going up the mountain first!"

When I saw those words, I was instantly angry.

The Ning Xi we knew before, although weird and a little reluctant to get close to, is not a stingy person.

But what happened to Ning Xi today, he was getting unnecessary angry everywhere, saying some unnecessary mean things, it's not like Ning Xi.

If it wasn't for Ning Xi's change, then she did all of this on purpose. She acted so mean on purpose and quarreled with me on purpose!

The purpose of her doing this is to have conflicts with me, and then enter the mountain alone with the excuse of "running away with anger", so as not to arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, my head suddenly became dizzy. If I really guessed this way, then what is Ning Xi's purpose? He didn't come here to cause some sabotage, right?
