in the wind

Chapter 9 Chapter 9

There was no word on the phone, Yinxiang snatched him over, glared at him, and then said to the phone: "Okay, come here quickly." Then she didn't wait for the phone to say anything, and hung up quickly. broken.

Listening to the inexplicable three words on the phone, Yinheng was a little dazed.Just when he was about to ask something, it turned into his sister's voice and hung up neatly.

Lang Bai threw a stack of talisman papers on her body, and said to the side, "You guys come here." Then he got up and left.Feeling baffled, Yinxiang picked up the talisman papers and looked at them, each of which was painted with delicate runes, which he couldn't understand.She wanted to stop Lang Bai and ask for clarification, but he had already disappeared.

Suddenly a hand patted her shoulder, and she was terrified all over.

Looking back, it was Yinheng.

"You're going to scare your sister to death." She exhaled and patted her chest.

"What's wrong, such a big reaction."

"I don't believe it when I say it, but I actually encountered a ghost. I was saved by a child."

Yinxiang spoke in an unbelievable tone, but Yinheng didn't feel anything: "Who is it?"

"What's his name, I forgot." Yinxiang thought for a while, but he didn't remember his name. "It looks like he's still a Taoist priest." Holding the stack of talisman papers, she was thinking.

Yin Heng raised his eyebrows, and remembered what Lang Bai had boasted to him before: "I'm a Taoist priest."

"What kind of Taoist priest? A fortune teller is not bad. Let's go."

Yinxiang: "Where's the car?"

She looked around, not even a bicycle.

"What car?"

Yinheng asked a simple question, which annoyed Yinxiang: "You don't ride a bicycle, what are you doing here to pick me up?"

"Do you have to ride a bike when I pick you up?"

"You mean I'm not worthy?"

"Is this worthy of anything?"

Seeing that she was really angry, Yin Heng immediately changed his words: "I'll go find a car."

"Looking for your grandma, come back to me!"

Yin Xiang roared at the figure that had slipped away.

"Who are you?" Yinxiang despised her younger brother again, "What are you doing back here? Why don't you stay with your mother, at least someone will support you." She muttered, stepping on her high heels Limping in the direction of home.

"Are you a man who only knows to make verbal promises when you encounter something?" She kept muttering along the way, but she couldn't walk because her heels were grinding, so she had to stop to rest.Yin Xiang knelt down and rubbed his heels, the dim light illuminated his lonely figure.

At this time, the rumble of motorcycles sounded in the distance, and they were getting closer.Yinxiang didn't care about it, since she wasn't on the road anyway, so she couldn't bump into her.After a few minutes, the motorcycle stopped nearby, and when Yinxiang stood up and was about to leave——

"I found the car, why don't you come up?"

She looked back and saw that Yinheng was riding a motorcycle, with her right foot on the curb, "Come on, you're really tired."

Yinxiang didn't speak, just snorted softly, and slowly moved over.

"Let's go."

Accompanied by the rumbling noise, the two gradually moved away, returning to the silence in the middle of the night.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Lang Bai also returned to the teahouse.

"Hei Zai is good, eat the dried fish." Lang Bai scratched the black cat's chin with one hand, and held the dried fish with the other to make the black cat open its mouth.

The black cat resisted in every way, broke free from his arms with a sneeze and ran out.

"No, what are you running for, eh?" Lang Bai watched the black cat's gradually disappearing figure, slumped on the chair and fell into deep thought. He was so angry that he ate a whole bag of dried fish.

jingle bell - jingle bell -

A rush of phone calls rang, and Lang Bai picked up the receiver and began to listen.

"Hello? Hello."

"High amount of money." A male voice on the other side of the phone said three words. Lang Bai didn't know how many years he had heard, and he knew what he meant.

"Catch Lei Qilin."

"Take people's money and do things for them." Lang Bai crossed his legs and listened to him continue.

What was said over there again, Lang Bai immediately stood upright with a dignified expression.

"Seriously?" Lang Bai asked the voice over there, and what he said was very clear. "Catch the living." After the other side finished speaking, he hung up the phone, leaving behind a few beeps.

Lang Bai slowly put down the receiver, stretched his waist, yawned, and closed his eyes to rest.

In the night market, Luoyun was wearing a windbreaker and a hat, wandering among the noisy crowd.

"Sorry." A man bumped into Luo Yun, and he quickly apologized to Luo Yun, "It's okay."

Luoyun hung up the phone and pushed down the brim of her hat.

The man ran away from him, inadvertently showing his bright white fangs, and smiled sinisterly: "The target is locked."

The streets are full of fish and dragons, and you never know what is passing you by.

Luo Yun shuttled through the crowd, "Are you sick, hurrying to reincarnate?" He accidentally rubbed an aunt's shoulder, and the aunt turned around and cursed at Luo Yun's back.

Luoyun didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, Heitang had already started to act.

The man just now was shuttling in the alley, bypassing the street, and trailing behind Luo Yun.

Luoyun didn't seem to notice him, and walked forward on her own.The man quietly followed him not far away. He had already changed out of his previous attire, and when the crowd dwindled, he showed his sharp wolf claws.

"It's time." He pulled the corner of his mouth, put on a hunting posture, and rushed towards him.The wolf claws shone sharply, tearing through the air, he laughed, waiting for the sound that pierced Luo Yun's heart in the next second.

Zheng——

He froze in place suddenly, his paws blocked by something hard.

Luoyun's torn left sleeve of the windbreaker was exposed to pieces of scales, which glowed lavender in the dim light.The werewolf was startled, before he could withdraw his right paw, Luo Yun first showed a lancet and swung it towards his neck, only to hear a puff, and blood gushed out.

The werewolf screamed a few times, and quickly backed away from him, clutching his almost broken neck.

Luo Yun wiped the blood splattered on her face, and the wolf demon let out a howling sound, not daring to act rashly.Luoyun held a lancet and confronted him.The werewolf urged his demon power to try to stop his bleeding, but a pain came from the wound, forcing him to scream out and lay heavily on the ground.

The wolf demon's wound sizzled, intermittent electric sparks came out, and then spread all over his body. He was twitching all over, his eyes and pupils were dilated, and he seemed to be unconscious.

Luoyun glanced at him, and wanted to turn around and leave. At this moment, the human wolf suddenly stood up again. At this time, his head was shaking, and there was a terrifying and funny feeling.He concentrated all his monster power on his claws, and rushed towards Luoyun with scarlet eyes, "I'll fight you!" He shouted hysterically.

The werewolf's moves became more and more fierce, and Luo Yun couldn't resist several times, but the protection of the scales didn't benefit him at all.

The clanging of weapons and sharp claws was endless, and with a bang, Luoyun swung his knife to break his neck, but the werewolf retreated frequently, but unexpectedly, Luoyun turned the blade and cut off his left claw with a backhand, and the werewolf screamed Even more powerful.

Taking advantage of his astonishment, Luoyun then split open his chest, the wolf only felt a surge of blood, and a burst of sweetness came from his mouth.

'puff--'

Blood flowed from the werewolf's mouth, and the warm liquid flowed and dripped down.

But before it was over, Luo Yun pierced his heart one step faster.

"I'm sorry, I have to live." Luo Yun whispered close to his ear, then kicked him to the ground, the wolf demon collapsed on the ground like a deflated doll,

puff-

His head was pierced.

The werewolf disintegrated slowly, and there were two corpses lying on the ground, one was a human and the other was a wolf. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the two corpses to disappear.

"The rules haven't changed."

Luoyun sighed, "How many years has it been?"

He put away the lancet and looked up at the paralyzed monitor: I hope Luo Fan is fine. Luo Yun murmured, burning the blood-stained coat to ashes with sparks, leaving only a thin back.

Lang Bai nestled on the roof of a western-style building, yawned, and witnessed the whole farce.

"Quack, isn't Ghost Peach taking action? If it's later, it might become someone else's." A mourning bird fluttered to his side and turned to talk to him.

"What's the rush? It would be better to catch them all at once. Maybe that wolf fur can be sold for a good price. It's a pity." Lang Bai nestled in the corner of the roof, talking lazily, the cool wind blowing through his trouser legs, as if he Back to the night when I first came here, the wind was very cold that night.

The cool wind caressed Lang Bai's body, leading him to recall the past:

"Big Brother." A little girl in a floral skirt walked out of the alley, calling him softly.Lang Bai walked forward, knelt down and asked her: "What's the matter, kid?"

The girl slurred her speech and pointed to the alley with her fat finger, "Big brother, can you tell my mother where I am?"

Lang Bai looked in the direction she pointed, and vaguely saw a very dirty trash can with a swarm of flies buzzing around it.

"Little friend, this is not clean, where is your mother?" Lang Bai muttered, looking at the trash can with nausea. "Big brother knows to call." The little girl stared at him with innocent eyes, holding each other with a pair of chubby hands.

"..."

"Thank you big brother."

In the end the little girl stood beside a group of police officers, smiling and waving goodbye to him.

"Quack, Guitao is actually recalling the past, it's really weird, quack—" The mourning bird made a strange laughing sound, fluttered its wings and flew away, leaving him with a smelly body. feather.

"……unlucky."

Lang Bai spat a few mouthfuls, and took the feathers of the mourning bird away from his body, "Can't this stinky bird take a bath?"

After shaking his clothes, Lang Bai looked up at the sky again. The dark night was like boundless thick ink, without even the faint light of stars.

Not far away was the cry of the mourning bird, and Lang Bai looked in the direction it was flying, and saw the mourning bird hovering in the sky: "Quack, I forgot to mention, this bounty is an operation of the whole black hall, are you here?" It’s really useless to act, and you might be killed.”

The mourning bird quacked at him, Lang Bai clicked his tongue contemptuously, raised his right hand, and made an international friendly gesture with his slender fingers.

Seeing that Luo Yun's figure was gone, he stood up from the corner.

"Shoot people first and shoot horses, catch thieves first and catch the king." Lang Bai stood on the roof of the building, the wind howling behind him, his voice scattered between heaven and earth.

Lang Bai felt a chill on his back, he only tilted his head slightly, a silver needle brushed past his face, and pierced into the ground abruptly.

"They're all on our own, are you sure you want to fight each other?" Lang Bai didn't turn his head, and a young woman appeared behind him. The clear and crisp jade bracelet clang sounded from her right wrist, followed by her charming voice: "Oh, you're still so smart."

She chuckled a few more times, propped up the flower umbrella she had transformed, and covered the lower half of her face with her wide pipa sleeves, her eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, captivating, if it was someone else, she would definitely be the first to be excited.

"Well, you are still so disgusting." Lang Bai suppressed the urge to feel disgusted, and squeezed out these words from his teeth.The woman wasn't annoyed at all, she just gave him a slight look, put the umbrella aside, and moved forward on her own initiative.She took a step forward, and Lang Bai took a step back, until Lang Bai's heel touched a high step, and there was no place to retreat.

"Don't hide from me, it's not good at all." She moved closer to Lang Bai's face, seducing him with her charming voice.

"Give me your mission."

Lang Bai really had the disgusting urge to vomit, he tried his best to free Tao Hua's hands, trying to keep her away from him. "Do you hate me that much?" Taohua took out another silver needle, smiling half-smile.

"No." Lang Bai yelled, dodged the silver needle, summoned the ghost peach, and slashed at her.Taohua reacted quickly and dodged it easily.

A stronger demonic aura emanated from Ghost Peach, Lang Bai held it and swung it at the Peach Blossom Demon again.Taohua smiled contemptuously, after all, in her opinion, Lang Bai was just playing a child's game.Peach Blossom turned into a flower umbrella again, holding it up, showing a relaxed look, ready to hide away easily again.

But she suddenly felt that her actions had become sluggish, as if she had been slowed down twice.The moment she was startled, the ghost peach was about to fall on her.She wanted to hide, but there was nothing she could do, so she took the stick abruptly.

Suddenly the time seemed to be back to normal, Taohua was thrown directly to the ground, rolled around many times, and felt something pricked her back, but the greater pain that came immediately made her not bother to look for that thing.

Taohua lay on the ground for a few seconds, and when she struggled to get up again, Lang Bai had already disappeared.

Lang Bai ran back to the teahouse, washed his face in the bathroom, and tried to wake himself up.He looked at his recently dyed black hair in the mirror with a few white hairs mixed in, and remained silent.

"It's so annoying." He pushed open the bathroom door, went to the kitchen, took out a bottle of cool water from the refrigerator, and blew on the bottle directly.The freshly washed hair was not dried or wiped, just let the wet hair stick to his forehead, and small streams of water trickled down.

The downstairs landline rang, and Lang Bai went downstairs.

jingle bell - jingle bell -

The ringtone of the landline was particularly harsh in the silent environment. Lang Bai approached the landline and picked up the receiver: "Hello? Hello." A sharp knife was resting on his neck.

"Ghost Tao, it's time for you to hand over some bounties." Jia Dao's hoarse voice came to his ears, but he didn't listen.

"What's the matter?" Lang Bai talked into the microphone by himself.

"Hand over the bounty mission. There haven't been many high rewards in recent years, but most of the fucking money has been swallowed by you alone!" The knife holder suddenly became furious, and his strength became a little bit stronger, and his tone raised several times. high. "I received the bounty with my strength, why should I give it to you?" Lang Bai hung up the receiver, the landline beeped, and he glanced at the man holding the knife from the corner of his eye, his eyes were full of indifference.

"I don't have the ability to take on the task, so I came to ask someone else?" Lang Bai stood upright, the water from his wet hair was still dripping, dripping down his cheeks to the ground. "Besides, it's not a rule. After accepting the bounty, it belongs to the tasker, and no one else can touch it unless the tasker dies. Besides—"

He pinched the blade against his neck with two fingers, turned his head to look at him, with a cold light in his eyes: "Which one of you can kill me."

As soon as the words came out, the man visibly trembled a few times, and the young men behind him did the same, but trembled more violently.Those young people swallowed their saliva, and as one of them ran out screaming in fright, the rest also rushed outside.

The man is considered to have seen the world, he suppressed the fear, and continued: "You haven't completed a bounty, you haven't received a penny, and you still receive so much." The man said tremblingly When he came out, Lang Bai didn't explain, and those who don't need to explain don't need to explain.

"Then let's make a deal."

"What, what deal?"

The man couldn't believe what he heard. He thought that the worst was going to happen, but he didn't expect that he actually planned to make a deal.

"I want everything you know and what you don't know about this reward." Lang Bai said to himself, then picked up the receiver and put it to his ear, pressing his fingers on the keyboard. "Tell me and I'll give you what you want."

The weather was bright and sunny.The streets are refreshing in the morning, and the poplar trees on both sides are covered with gold leaf and shone with light from the sun.There was a light wind blowing, and the leaves of apricot yellow were blown off, but it didn't matter. In the coming year, they will meet again on the branches.

Lang Bai drank soy milk and walked leisurely on the way to school.

"Hi." A bicycle flew past him one by one. I couldn't see the face clearly, but I could hear it from the voice. It seemed to be the squad leader.He took a sip of soy milk, responded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. How could he meet the monitor? According to his previous experience in the classroom, there was usually only one situation when he met the monitor, and that was - he was about to be late.

It was analyzed that Lang Bai even threw away the soy milk, and ran to school in a hurry.

huh-huh-

Lang Bai was panting heavily, out of breath, and saw a group of Wuyang Wuyang queuing up at the gate of the school, and saw the squad leader.Lang Bai felt that something was wrong and looked at the time at the school gate: 15:[-], [-] minutes before leaving the gate.Lang Bai felt sorry for the soy milk that was thrown away. After all, he hadn't drank a few sips and spent two yuan. Thinking of this, Lang Bai was even angrier.

Thinking that there were still 15 minutes before the school gate would open, Lang Bai sorted out the information given by the raccoon last night in his mind, "The whole black hall has acted, and the reward is surprisingly high, wait, the whole black hall—"

"Xiheitang will also attack. I always feel that they have other purposes. And a strange thing happened many years ago. Since then, the aura has increased. At the same time, Xiheitang has become more active on our side. .”

Lang Bai thought about the information given by the raccoon, and the name Xiheitang came to his mind.

At exactly 07:30, the school gate also opened, and the crowd squeezed in. Lang Bai gave a soft drink and pulled out a confident smile: "It's not a good way to crowd with people, it's better to find another way to go by yourself road."

"Stand up, don't let go!" The head teacher scolded Lang Bai with his small eyes, and Lang Bai didn't dare to move, just like a terracotta warrior.Standing by the podium, he was tantamount to a public execution.

Hereby—

Criticism, Criticism, Class [-], Class [-], Class [-], Class [-], Lang Bai, was caught by the security guards because he climbed over the wall to enter the school. He hereby notified him for criticism, and deducted five points from his class quantification. The notification was completed.

Lang Bai listened to the □□, and the sparse laughter below, "Tsk, careless."

During the break, Han Fangqi was chattering beside him, but Lang Bai didn't listen at all, his head rested on the desk, his arms were drooping underneath, his hands were useless after all. "Lin Xiaoyu is crazy." Lang Bai jumped up from the desk, "Huh? Who is it?" "The students in Class [-] were fine before school started, but suddenly they went crazy."

Han Fangqi sighed, "Not long ago, she pulled a classmate out of her class, but that classmate was frightened and went to the hospital with a heart attack, and she herself became crazy and nervous when she saw people. Damn, laughing all the time, and then saying some weird things, it's really infiltrating." Han Fangqi couldn't help shivering as he recalled that time.

"Although she is still normal on weekdays, the teacher also said that she is under too much pressure from studying. I don't think that's the case."

"No one believes what she said?" Lang Bai turned his head and asked him, "How could anyone believe her? They all think she is crazy." Han Fangqi said without hesitation, "Do you believe it?" Han Fangqi said nothing, "Believe it or not Is it important?" Lang Bai yawned, "It's better to be a villain than a good person, so take care of yourself first." After speaking, he fell asleep on the table.

Han Fangqi was a little overwhelmed, and wanted to speak a few times, but saw that Lang Bai was really dead, or stopped.

Lang Bai had a short dream, and he dreamed of that person again.

The preparation bell rang, but Han Fangqi just pushed him, but didn't speak to him.Lang Bai got up from the table in a daze, rubbed his eyes, his hands were a little wet, he touched the corners of his eyes, it was tears.

Lang Bai stared blankly at the tears on his hands, and silently wiped them away.

On the way, someone from the student union came in and handed over a form, but everyone didn't care.

until--

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

"Qi Xiao help me see how I am doing in the exam?"

"You only see what you see in total.

The students squeezed there desperately, Han Fangqi managed to squeeze out of the crowd, and went straight to Lang Bai.
