Journey To the World of Film and Television

At dusk and dusk, night fell, and the bustling and bustling Qinchuan market during the day gradually became cold and empty.

After sorting out all the clues from Cha Xiaoguai, Zhou Ji looked at the map and said, "Since the flower picker started committing crimes from the west side of Qinchuan, maybe he himself came from the west side. I'm going to go there now that it's getting late. In the west of the city, follow the place where the first case happened, and continue west all the way to investigate the residence and whereabouts of the flower pickers."

"I'll go with you." Baili Tusu said in a deep voice.

Zhou Ji glanced at the sparse pedestrians on the street and the hawkers who were cleaning up the stalls, and said with a smile: "I can go there alone. Now that it is getting late, maybe the flower pickers will make some moves tonight. You might as well go there first." Go to Fang's house to ambush, if the flower pickers attack tonight, they can be caught in one fell swoop."

Baili Tusu was silent for a moment and said: "You and the Fang family siblings are old acquaintances. Naturally, I will visit Qinchuan this time. I should go outside the city."

Zhou Ji looked at Baili Tusu curiously, saw a trace of resistance flashing in his eyes, and asked doubtfully, "Do you have a grudge against them?"

Baili Tusu shook his head and refused to go into details.

Baili Tusu's personality is just like this, he likes to keep all his thoughts in his heart, and he doesn't want to express them.

Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Then be careful all the way."

"You too." Baili Tusu nodded slightly, got up and walked out of the city.

Cha Xiaoguai looked at Baili Tusu's figure walking alone in Qingleng Street, curled his lips and said, "This kid must be hiding a lot of things."

"Everyone has their own concerns, even you?" Zhou Ji glanced at Cha Xiaoguai with a half-smile.

Xiaoguai Cha was startled, vaguely feeling that Zhou Ji had seen his identity as a sea monster, a sneer appeared on his frozen face, he lifted the teapot and said, "Hey, the tea is cold, I'll make another pot for you. "

As the night darkened, Zhou Ji left Cha Xiaoguai's place and soon arrived near Fang's mansion.

If the flower picker is going to act tonight, then visiting at this time will definitely arouse this person's vigilance. Zhou Ji walked around and did not see anyone stepping on the watch.

Flying and jumping into the courtyard, the entire Fang family was silent and silent. Zhou Ji sensed the hidden aura around him, and his eyes fell on the direction of the Yuanyue gate. He was about to lift his foot, but retracted it.

Looking down, the courtyard is covered with translucent slender silk threads. There are some exquisite and small bells hidden in the grass on both sides of the aisle. As long as you touch the silk thread lightly, the bells tied will ring in groups, alarming the surrounding ambush. Fang's servant.

Zhou Ji's figure flickered, as if taking small steps on Lingbo, avoiding the densely packed silk traps, passing through the door opening and looking at Fang Lansheng, who was sitting in the corner and yawning.

Seeing a person suddenly walk out from behind the door, Fang Lansheng stared wide-eyed, and got up in surprise before closing his long mouth. Fang Lansheng accidentally touched the squinting stone next to him, opened his eyes and woke up suddenly, subconsciously Waking up the servant next to him, he shouted: "Flower pickers? How can there be flower pickers?"

A loud shout immediately caused a chain reaction. A group of servants holding torches rushed out from all corners of the courtyard. Bells jingled all at once. Fang Lansheng reacted from the shout of 'Flower Picker' and said in a daze: " Brother Zhou is the nearest flower picker in the city?"

snap~

"Hiss~!" There was a crisp sound from Fang Lansheng's head, and he held his head and squatted down with his teeth grinning. The remaining drowsiness completely dissipated. Speaking of which, are you too harsh?"

"Remember from now on, misfortune comes from the mouth." Zhou Ji said flatly, "I'm here to help Baili Tusu catch the flower pickers."

Fang Lansheng rubbed his head and said in surprise, "Baili Tusu? Just that thief? Do you know each other?"

Zhou Ji frowned slightly, and finally understood why Baili Tusu was so resistant to coming to Fang's house, "Although I don't know what happened, he is definitely not a thief. There must be some misunderstanding between you."

"Why not? I have seen it with my own eyes."

Fang Lansheng was about to tell Zhou Ji what happened a few days ago when he suddenly heard an exclamation from the second sister's courtyard.

"Come here! Catch the flower picker!"

"Second Sister!" Fang Lansheng didn't care to say much at the moment, and hurried to Fang Ruqin's room. Zhou Ji's figure flashed past Fang Lansheng, and when he opened the door, he saw Fang Ruqin standing at the dressing table Beside, although his complexion is a little bad, he looks quite calm.

Fang Ruqin saw a figure passing by, subconsciously took half a step back, raised his sleeves to block in front of him, and found that it was Zhou Ji who came, so he was relieved, put down his sleeves, and said in surprise, "Young master Zhou? here?"

"I met Tu Su on the way to Qinchuan today. I heard from him that there are flower picking thieves who commit crimes frequently recently, so I can help you a little." Zhou Ji walked to the window and took a look outside. Fang Ruqin walked to the side and said, "That thief came from escaped here."

Zhou Ji was about to go out to chase the thief, Fang Lansheng rushed into the room and said anxiously: "Sister! Sister! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Fang Ruqin shook his head, and ordered Fang Lansheng to bring some men to catch the thief with Zhou Ji.

Seeing that Fang Ruqin was safe, Fang Lansheng finally let go of half of his hanging heart, "The thief is so cunning, what if we all chase him out and fall into a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain? Let Brother Zhou stay and protect Second Sister, myself Just lead someone to chase."

After Fang Lansheng finished speaking, he led people to chase him out in a hurry. Fang Ruqin looked at Zhou Ji, and said a little embarrassedly, "Lan Sheng has always acted recklessly. You made me laugh."

"It's okay, he also cares about his family."

Zhou Ji pondered, "What's more, what he said is not completely unreasonable. If we all chase him out, that person will go back and come back. Miss Ruqin is alone, how should I deal with it?"

Fang Ruqin couldn't help turning pale when he thought of the scene he had just encountered, and felt fear in his heart.

After all, this is a women's boudoir. It is not suitable for a lonely man and a widow to live together for too long. Zhou Ji stretched out his hand and drew a water healing technique among the five spirits to dispel the remaining effects of Fang Ruqin's drug. She bid farewell and left,

Fang Ruqin thanked again for this, and asked the maid to help Zhou Ji clean up the guest room and rest first.

When Zhou Ji went out and passed the flower garden, he paused, and picked up a newly folded purple orchid from the grass.

The stamens of the orchid still had a faint smell of fragrance. Zhou Ji asked the maid that the Fang family did not have such an orchid, and she did not know where this flower came from.

Purple orchids are rare and come from outside, as long as the source is found, the identity of the flower picker will naturally be revealed.

Zhou Ji put away the orchids and went back to the room to rest. Fang Lansheng, who had chased the flower pickers away, went west, and bumped into the long-lost reunion of Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue in the forest west of Qinchuan.

Fang Lansheng still respected Zhou Ji and there was a beautiful girl testifying beside him, so Fang Lansheng didn't doubt Baili Tusu's identity much.

It was getting late now, and although Baili Tusu didn't want to go back to Fang's house, they suspected that Zhou Ji was a ghost-masked man after hearing Feng Qingxue talk about the real person in charge and Ling Yue, so they immediately took Feng Qingxue to Fang's house to find him. Zhou Ji confirmed.

Fang Lansheng eavesdropped and heard that someone suspected that Zhou Ji broke into Tianyong City three years ago to kill people and seize the sword. He immediately said indignantly: "It's nonsense! Brother Zhou has been traveling to the East China Sea three years ago, and he has never been to Kunlun. .”

After all, it was related to Zhaolin's death. Baili Tusu didn't care to blame Fang Lansheng for eavesdropping, and asked, "How did you know?"

"I, I." Fang Lansheng hesitated, and wanted to talk about his change of subject, but was defeated by the gazes blocked by Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue. He glanced at Baili Tusu dejectedly and said: " You know, my sister doesn’t like me cultivating immortals. Brother Zhou passed by Qinchuan three years ago and taught me the method of driving things and controlling swords. Later, my sister and I quarreled and ran away from home to find Brother Zhou. We walked east for a long time After going through mountains and rivers, he finally caught up with him in Yecheng near Gusu."

On the way back, Fang Lansheng sighed endlessly, telling his painful experience with a kind of vicissitudes that did not belong to his age.

Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue had no interest in his journey of "nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties", but when they found that Zhou Ji's whereabouts did not match up with the ghost-masked man, they were immediately relieved.

It's just that although the ghost-masked man's identity doesn't match up, Zhou Ji's own identity is still a cloud of fog that people can't see through.

For example, why did he hide his strength and worship Tianyong City when he clearly has a profound cultivation base and moves thousands of miles with his sword?

If it is said that he came here to steal Tianyong City's supreme sword method "Kongming Illusory Sword", but Zhou Ji has never learned Tianyong swordsmanship for a day, and spent a few days on the mountain looking at it in Tianxing Pavilion all day long. Basic exercises.

The morning sun shone down on the courtyard, and early the next morning, Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue came to Zhou Ji to confirm Fang Lansheng's statement.

Hearing the shocking changes in Tianyong City these days, although Zhou Ji was a little surprised, it did not completely exceed his expectations.

As early as the first day he came to this world, when he met Feng Qingxue and Ouyang Shaogong, he knew that the direction of this world would change with Ouyang Shaogong's worship into Tianyong City.

In the final analysis, he was just repeating the old trick, using the same method that he used to attack Wumeng Linggu.

As for Zhaolin's death, Zhou Ji sighed softly, patted Baili Tusu on the shoulder, and comforted him, "I believe you will not harm your fellow disciples."

For Zhou Ji's trust, Baili Tusu, who had been wronged repeatedly, finally felt a little warmth.

During the chat, Feng Qingxue pursed her small mouth and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Zhou, you have deceived me so hard. If Fang Lansheng hadn't sworn by his hands and feet, Susu and I couldn't believe that you are so powerful. .”

"That kid really tells people everything."

Zhou Ji smiled helplessly while holding his forehead. There was a sneeze from the round arch. Fang Lansheng rubbed his nose and walked towards this side. Seeing the three people sitting in the pavilion, he suddenly said, "No wonder Tu Su and Miss Feng are not in the room." , So it turned out that Brother Zhou came here."

"You can just call me Qingxue, and I will call you Lansheng just like Brother Zhou and the others." Feng Qingxue waved her hand in greeting, and smiled generously.

"Lansheng came just in time, and I was just about to find you." Zhou Ji looked at Fang Lansheng with a half-smile, Fang Lansheng's heart skipped a beat, he walked up to him awkwardly, and asked tentatively, "What's the matter?"

"It's the matter of Qingyu Sinan Pei that I didn't have time to explain yesterday." Zhou Ji said in a deep voice, "Just now Tu Su told me that the last time you accidentally met Fen Ji and was pushed away by him, Qingyu Sinan Pei fell on the ground, and when he picked it up and was about to return it to you, he was called by your second sister, this delay, but you framed him for stealing the jade."

After Zhou Ji's reminder, Fang Lansheng remembered what happened that day, and couldn't help showing a remorseful and guilty expression, and quickly gave a long salute to apologize to Baili Tusu.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Fang Lansheng suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said in shock: "I almost forgot, my sister invited Wu Butou, and asked me to ask Brother Zhou to come over."

"Uncle Wu is here too?" Baili Tusu's eyes lit up, and Zhou Ji suddenly said, "It must be because of the flower pickers, why don't we go together?"

Baili Tusu was going, and Feng Qingxue naturally had to follow. A group of four went to the front yard. Fang Ruqin and Wu Butou seemed to be talking about something. When they got closer, Wu Butou asked Fang Ruqin's appearance as that flower picker.

"I can't remember." Fang Ruqin shook his head, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "At that time, he was drugged by him, and I felt dizzy and couldn't see clearly. That person seemed handsome and ugly at the same time. .”

Seeing Zhou Ji and the others approaching, Fang Ruqin glanced at the little girl next to Baili Tusu, and bowed to the three of them as a greeting.

Fang Lansheng pursed his lips after hearing what Fang Ruqin said, "Is that ugly or handsome?"

"I said I can't remember~" Fang Ruqin replied subconsciously, "If it weren't for your sister and I have been in business for many years and often take medicinal tea, I'm afraid I would have fainted there."

Fang Lansheng wondered: "Could it be that the flower picker changed his face, so he couldn't recognize him?"

Fang Ruqin shook his head, not sure: "Then I don't know."

Butou Wu was also worried that the flower pickers would come again. He was not familiar with Zhou Ji, but he knew Baili Tusu's extraordinary martial arts skills, so he proposed to let Tu Su stay in Fang's house. Looking at himself, he hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

With the head catcher around, Zhou Ji always felt a little uncomfortable. After Wu catcher left, he took out an orchid from his sleeve, handed it to Feng Qingxue and said, "Qingxue, this is the flower I was in Ruqin Courtyard last night. Do you know what it is that you picked up in the courtyard?"

"The variety of this orchid is Suxin purple orchid, which usually grows in hot places. It is reasonable to say that it is not suitable for the climate of Qinchuan." Feng Qingxue approached the stamen and sniffed it, and said hesitantly: "This orchid has a strange smell, and the petals are stained. , should be a kind of drug that makes people lose their minds"

"Girl be careful, since there are drugs on it, will you encounter any danger if you approach like this?" Fang Ruqin asked with concern.

As a ghost girl from Youdu, if she is fascinated by this kind of drug, that would be the greatest absurdity in the world.

Feng Qingxue smiled, "Thank you, sister Ruqin, for your concern. I have been exposed to various spiritual herbal medicines since I was a child, so it's fine."
