I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 36 Someone is missing
The story starts with the prostitutes playing shadows around the Liang Pavilion.

After the make-up dowry Yaoqi's wife was executed, Nongying was overly frightened and fell ill.

During this period, Qiu Niang and Liu Kui, who were in charge, were sent to prison.It is said that the owner of the Raoliang Pavilion was unaware of what Qiuniang had done, and it was just a crime of negligence. Therefore, after a few days of renovation of the Raoliang Pavilion, they opened the door to receive guests again.

As soon as Nongying recovered, she took Zuo Ernu to the West Market to find a merchant.According to her, the dowry was given to her by Hushang Quale.

The relationship between Nongying and Qu Ale is not just a courtesan and patron.

Qu Ale opened a spice shop in West Market, Zuo Ernu and Nong Ying often went to his shop to buy spices, because Zuo Ernu and him were both Hu people, they quickly became acquainted with each other.Later, Qu Ale took a fancy to Nongying, so he asked Zuo Ernu to tie the knot and expressed his feelings to Nongying.

This Quale is a merchant, although he is shrewd but kind-hearted, his spices are high-quality and cheap, and the scales he gives are also high, so there are many repeat customers.

He promised to redeem himself for Nongying if he saved enough silver.

Nongying didn't believe that he was intentionally harming her, so when the people from Tianshu asked her where the dowry came from, she didn't confess to Qu Ale, she only said that it was given by a benefactor, but she didn't remember who it was.

But after all, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she always wanted to ask Qu Ale face to face.However, he was never found.Nong Ying and Zuo Er Nu asked the people in the neighboring shop, and it was said that they had not seen Qu A Le for several days.

Some people say that he returns to Dashi every year to sell spices.

Some people also said that he would greet everyone every time he left, but he didn't this time, and he usually wouldn't go back in spring.

Nongying and Zuo Ernu went to his residence again, and seeing unused food on the table inside the house, they speculated that he either left in a hurry or was in trouble.

Nongying heard Zuoernu say that Pinmoxuan's talisman is very effective, so he went to Pinmoxuan to ask Zhang Hui for the talisman to find someone.

Zhang Hui was helpless.

The person-seeking talisman is a pair, and only if the person being searched also has a talisman in his hand, he can follow the talisman to find the person.

Although the spell was not good, Zhang Hui still sent Zhou Ling to help her find it.Zhang Hui also wanted to find out whether Qu Ale knew that the dowry was a demon.

Zuo Ernu went with Nongying, and Zhang Hui saw that Zuo Ernu's expression was a bit grim, so he asked her if she still had the talisman she drew last time.Zuo Ernu said that maybe it's because he's old, and he hasn't been able to sleep well in the past two days.

There is no old or new in symbols.

When Zuo Ernu took out the talisman, Zhang Hui checked it and found that the talisman had been broken.

Zuoernu usually lives in the Raoliang Pavilion, and when the Raoliang Pavilion was being renovated a few days ago, there were no benevolent guests, and the sisters in the pavilion were all around.Zhang Hui suspected that the one who broke the spell was the courtesan in the pavilion.

But the spells he drew are not wet by water, not broken by hand, and ordinary people can't break them at all, unless the other party is a demon master who cultivates Taoism, or a monster with deep Taoism.

Zhang Hui questioned Zuoernu carefully again, and found that the dowry demon was not the monster Zuoernu and the others met by the water.

Zhang Hui asked: "Leader, do you still remember that day after Zuo Ernu and the others fled the pavilion in panic, the monster mixed with them again, Zuo Ernu thought it was a sister in the pavilion, and once held hands with the monster?" flee."

Naturally remember the corner of the picture.

She remembered that Zuo Ernu said that the hand she was holding felt hairy to the touch, and the man turned his head to look at her and smiled strangely at her.

Has... Hair?

Hua Jiao's heart sank, and he remembered Zuo Ernu's mention of the monster's feet without shoes and socks, which looked dark and weird.

When a monster takes human form, it will occasionally reveal a part of its original body unintentionally, just like the scorpion monster sometimes protrudes its ears.

This demon with hairy hands and dark feet can't possibly be Mrs. Yaoqi, the dowry demon. She doesn't have hair on her hands.

The lotus demon and the crane demon are also impossible. Although the crane demon has feathers, she is white, and her feet cannot be dark.

It sounded like a black panther demon, but she was still locked in the dark room at that time.

"So, there are monsters in the Liang Liang Pavilion." Hua Jiao said with a frown.

She ignored Zuo Ernu's words, thinking that Mrs. Yaoqi, the make-up dowry, was the demon they met by the water.

"Is this stabbing a demon's nest? In the past, there was not a single demon in Lan'an City for a few months, but this time, there are five monsters in one of the Liang Pavilions." Tang Ning said worriedly.

Yi Er felt it was unbelievable, and asked: "If there is a monster, there must be a monster aura, but when you walked around the Liang Pavilion, didn't you say that you didn't notice the monster aura except for the few monsters you had already captured?"

Hua Jiao and Zhang Hui looked at each other, and then told about killing Yu Yuan on Jiu Mian Mountain.

"That Yuyuan has restrained his demonic aura. If I hadn't seen the red thread he was holding, I wouldn't have known there was a demon in Taolin."

Hua Jiao and Zhang Hui thought at first that Yu Yuan was the only one who could hide the evil spirit by luck, but now it seems that it is not the case.

Gongshuyu and the puppet sat side by side, with the same astonishment on their two identical faces, and said, "That's not bad. If there are no monsters in the world, how can we know that monsters are monsters?"

Zhang Hui added: "Before Yu Yuan died, he also said that from now on, we will not have a better life as a demon master."

Gong Shuyu said loudly: "That little demon speaks loudly, saying this makes people think that they have a demon king who is about to reappear."

Demon King?

This remark caught everyone by surprise, and the room fell silent for an instant.

The light reflected on Huajiao's face, and a gloomy look flashed in her eyes.

Yi Er sighed softly: "For hundreds of years, the monsters in the world have been like a mess of scattered sand, doing their own evil, and I have never heard of any monster king."

"That's true." Tang Ning said.

Hua Jiao turned his face to the side and asked Zhang Hui: "Since Zhou Ling went to look for Qu Ale, why did he disappear?"

Zhang Hui frowned and said, "He asked the beggars from the Town God's Temple to inquire about Qu Ale. These people are begging in the streets of Lan'an City, and the news is very well-informed. Coincidentally, one of these beggars is also missing. This person's surname is Yang, aged At about forty, he is very prestigious among the beggars, and if he begs for food on weekdays, he would rather go hungry than give the food to the old, weak, sick and disabled.

"One of these beggars made a fortune by accident. He went to the Raoliang Pavilion and kept boasting about the beauty of the courtesan after he came back. He said that he and the courtesan had mentioned Lao Yang by accident. The courtesan was very interested in Lao Yang. He I wanted to drag Lao Yang around the Liang Pavilion, but I didn't want Lao Yang to disappear the next day."

Hua Jiao frowned: "Why is it the Wailiang Pavilion again?"

"I also find it strange." Zhang Hui said, "I suspected that the disappearance of Qu Ale and Lao Yang was caused by the monsters in the Liang Pavilion, so I ordered Zhou Ling to pretend to be a benefactor and go to the Liang Pavilion to investigate. I don't want him to come back. .”

The painting corner pondered and asked: "Have you discovered that Qu Ale and the beggar Lao Yang have one thing in common besides being related to the Raoliang Pavilion?"

Gongshu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "They are all men."
