The silver butterfly flew to the side and disappeared. Gu Zi opened his eyes wide and replied, "I...I'm going to pee!"

Qi Rong sneered, "Children just poop and pee a lot!" He ignored her. Gu Zi moved aside and whispered, "Brother Papa, Brother Papa!"

Xie Lian said on the roof, “…Just call me Taoist Priest. This, Broken Brother, is a bit strange hahaha… Guzi. Those people your father caught are very pitiful, and they are subordinates of other families. The masters of other families will chase your father and beat him up. Can you help let them go?”

Guzi nodded and said, "I know! It's someone from the immortal family riding a big black bull!" He scratched his hair and said, "I want to let him go too...but my father is sick, and he said he must eat human flesh to get better. Eating human flesh is a very normal thing. I'm still young and don't understand. Teach me how to eat it when I grow up. But I don't think it's good..."

...This is more than just not good!

Xie Lian thought to himself, this is a close call. He has been with Qi Rong for too long, and Gu Zi has already started to go astray. If he continues to be led astray, he might get used to it and accept the idea of ​​eating human flesh. He hurriedly said, “This is very bad! Eating human flesh will cause a serious disease, and the ghosts of the people who are eaten will haunt you and your father. Your father is not sick, he just has a craving for it and won’t give it up. You must find a way to stop him from eating human flesh, otherwise you will become a fatherless child!”

Gu Zi said: "Then, what should we do?"

Hua Cheng said to Xie Lian, "Brother, I'll do it."

He said a few words to Yindie, and Guzi listened and tried to remember them. After he finished speaking, Huacheng looked up again and said to Xie Lian, "We need to lead Xuanji away first."

Inside the house, Xuan Ji said to Qi Rong, "I still think this man is suspicious. He said he was a subordinate of the Rain Master, but he is full of ghost spirit. I think he is probably not telling the truth. I will ask him again."

Seeing Gu Zi slip away, Qi Rong took the opportunity to turn his back and continue chewing his hand, mumbling, "It's up to you."

Don’t think Xuan Ji went crazy when she met Pei Ming. At other times, she was more careful and suspicious than Qi Rong. After all, she was a woman. And Gu Zi was a little afraid of her. With her around, it would be easier to expose the truth. Xie Lian nodded and said, “How to divert them?”

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "General Pei."

Xie Lian clasped his hands together and said, “There is no other way. Please sacrifice yourself for the time being, General Pei. Everyone will thank you after they are saved.”

Hua Cheng laughed and said, "I should thank my brother."

As he spoke, a dead butterfly appeared on the pattern of his silver wristband and flew to Xie Lian’s ears. A man’s voice came from it. It was Pei Ming. It turned out that Hua Cheng had left a few silver butterflies behind before leaving, and they carried the voice over. Xie Lian listened attentively for a while and whispered, “Okay, okay. Let’s intercept it and choose these few sentences…”

Xuan Ji turned her back to the window and stared at Yin Yu questioning him. Yin Yu said honestly, "I am responsible for helping hungry ghosts who have nowhere to go in Yushi Township. When they wander to my door, I give them a handful of rice and send them on their way. That's why they have ghost energy on them..."

The rest of the captives were the real farmers of Yushi Township. Although there were indeed such helpers in Yushi Township, they were definitely not Yinyu. Everyone knew that this person was talking nonsense, but no one said anything. Qi Rong shouted, "Haha! I am also a hungry ghost, why don't you help me? You are chasing me to death after eating a few people, why are you pretending to be generous?" Xuan Ji disagreed and said, "There are so many hungry ghosts in the world, how can you help them all? You are just pretending."

At this time, a silver butterfly with its light concealed flew silently behind her and disappeared in a flash. All the captives saw this scene, but they remained calm and pretended not to see it. Xuan Ji was about to ask more questions, but suddenly, she heard a man's voice faintly: "... In this case, first give me this... Do you have any more... Come on..."

The original sentence in this paragraph is "In that case, roast the mouse first. Do you have any snakes? Give me a few."

When Xie Lian heard Pei Ming say this, he was shocked and sympathetic. There must be a cadaver rat that crawled over there and was killed by Pei Ming, who mistook it for an ordinary rat and prepared it as a snack for Pei Su. Is it okay to eat this rat? It seems that he must go back and stop it. However, after Hua Cheng blurred a few words, the effect was very confusing. It seemed to have some meaning, but it seemed that he couldn't make out what it meant. Xuan Ji was shocked and turned back suddenly. However, the silver butterfly was very cunning and agile. It didn't shine in the first place. When she turned back, it had already fluttered and hid to the side.

Xuan Ji was confused and turned around to ask the captives: "Did you hear anything just now? Did you see anything?"

Yinyu took the lead in shaking his head, and the other captives followed suit, all looking very honest. Qi Rong turned around with blood in his mouth and asked, "What did you hear?"

Xuan Ji was slightly confused and said, "I seemed to...hear Pei Ming's voice."

Qi Rong said, "Ah? Are you hallucinating? I didn't hear it." The silver butterfly was close to Xuan Ji, and others could not hear the voice it sent. Xuan Ji doubted, "Really? I always feel that... he might be nearby." She was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said, "Maybe, this is what is called telepathy... Sir, how about I go out and take a look?"

I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Xie Lian secretly clenched his fists and smiled at Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng smiled at him as well. Unexpectedly, Qi Rong poured cold water on him and said, "Hey! Didn't you just go out for a while? What telepathy? I think it's just hallucination. You think about him eight hundred times a day, so of course it's easy to have hallucinations."

It seemed that Xuan Ji was somewhat convinced by him, and half-heartedly gave up the idea of ​​leaving. Although he failed, Xie Lian was not discouraged, because he intercepted a few sentences and kept them. Xuan Ji was about to continue questioning Yin Yu, when she heard Pei Ming's voice again: "...You little fool! Come here, I will teach you."

Then, a young girl's voice came out: "...Forget it, General Pei, I've done it once, I have experience, let me do it..."

Of course, it was Pei Ming who was instructing Banyue on how to roast a cadaver rat for Xiao Pei to eat. However, it was not the case at all when Xuan Ji heard it. The original disgust and speechlessness turned into tenderness and helplessness, and the depression and rejection turned into shyness and timidity. Xuan Ji screamed, and her eyes were immediately filled with bloodshot. The ghost fire on her head rose, burning like the jealous fire in her heart. She tore her hair and said, "It's him!!! Yes, it must be him, he is here, I can sense it, my heart can sense him!!! Pei Ming! You are like this again, what kind of woman is this time? I will kill you!!!"

She screamed and "jumped" out with her two broken legs. Qi Rong cursed, "Hey! Xuan Ji? Damn it! You're still running so fast with a broken leg! Is it worth it just for a stallion?"

Xie Lian looked at Xuan Ji's stumbling, crooked back as she disappeared, feeling a little sad and compassionate. Hua Cheng probably thought he was worried about the safety of the people in the temple, so he said, "Don't worry. The dead butterfly will lead her in the opposite direction. Even if she goes there, she can't get into the circle with Ruo Xie protecting her. Let's make a quick decision here."

Xuan Ji left, and it was Gu Zi's turn. He stood up and wiped his muddy hands on his butt. Xie Lian was still a little worried and asked, "Is everything really okay?"

Hua Cheng said calmly, "Brother, trust me. If this method doesn't work, we can do the next best thing. There is another way. At worst, we can make Qi Rong unable to speak again forever, and then slowly find a way to extinguish his ghost fire."

“…”

When Gu Zi entered the room, Qi Rong had already eaten all the blood off his hands. When he saw him, he said, "Son, come here and give your father a leg massage!"

So Guzi went up to him and massaged his legs. After a while, he said, "Dad, why are these people in the corner not tied up with ropes, but they dare not move?"

This question made Qi Rong excited: "Hehe, of course I'm afraid of you. I'm so scared that my legs are weak and I can't walk!"

“…”

Gu Zi opened his eyes and mouth wide, and said, "So amazing?!"

Qi Rong's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he said, "That's right! Listen carefully, today I will let you know how powerful I am! Do you see that fire? As long as I give the order, they will all be burned to death. Of course they are afraid of me! Also, there are two little devils, remember them." Gu Zi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and Qi Rong said, "One of them is called Huacheng and the other nicknamed Heishui. They are two people with no ability. They are just a bit lucky and unworthy of their reputation. Do you know what unworthy of their reputation means? Let me teach you, this is an idiom, which means that they look very powerful on the surface, but in fact, in terms of strength, they are not as good as me!"

“…………”

Gu Zi seemed to understand, and said, "Oh..."

Qi Rong continued, "They are just lucky, aren't they? If I had their luck, I would be ten times more prosperous than them! Wait! This time, I will definitely pass this test and slap them in the face! No one can look down on me anymore, I am the only one who looks down on others!"

He was full of energy and raised his arms to shout. Although Gu Zi had no idea who he was talking about or what he meant, he still said respectfully, "Dad, you can do it!"

“………………”

Xie Lian was on the roof, covering his face with his hands.

Qi Rong's remarks were really speechless. Thinking that Qi Rong was his cousin after all, he felt really ashamed and said to Hua Cheng: "Sanlang, this...he...I..."

Hua Cheng gave a fake smile and said, "Brother, don't worry about it. He has too many golden words, this is just the tip of the iceberg."

To be honest, since ancient times, there has been no man who doesn't like to brag. If a gust of wind blows the handkerchief of a girl from Piaoxiangyuan into his hand, he will turn around and say that he is entangled in love with a beautiful and famous prostitute; if he carries shoes and cleans stools for the concubine of the uncle of the emperor's concubine, the cousin of the grandson, he will definitely become an important manager in the palace of the emperor's relatives and the emperor's relatives, and his position is very important. Therefore, men who don't like to brag are rare and precious.

Men who love to brag, first, like to brag to women, and second, like to brag to their sons. I still remember that when Xie Lian was a child, his father often told him about his various great achievements in government affairs in various obscure or not-so-obscure ways. It was because of this that he believed from a young age that his father was an extremely wise monarch who would be remembered forever. Later, when he found out that he was not, he felt that "you are just like that". The gap was huge, which led to his rebellious heart when he grew up. Thinking of this, Xie Lian shook his head and couldn't help laughing: "Why would I compare Qi Rong with my father?"

It was really inexplicable. Maybe it was because they all liked to brag about themselves in front of their son. However, whether it was his father or others, at least they were bragging within the normal range. Qi Rong was already so shameless and self-righteous. No wonder even the always low-key He Xuan disliked him so much that he would find an excuse to beat him up when they met. Xie Lian just felt it was a bit strange. Why did he only scold others but not himself? Did he change his personality?

However, Xie Lian seemed to understand a little bit why Qi Rong had not eaten Gu Zi until now. If you brag to a normal person or someone with a little age and experience, the other party may not buy it. Even if he agrees on the surface, it may still make people feel that he is not sincere or too flattering. For details, see the reaction of the little ghosts under Qi Rong in the past. Gu Zi's praise is different. Every word comes from the heart. He really thinks that his "father" is the best in the world!

Qi Rong hadn't blown so thoroughly for a long time, and finally felt satisfied. He threatened, "You have to be obedient, okay? If you don't, I'll also put a will-o'-the-wisp on you!"

Gu Zi was really scared, and quickly covered his head, saying, "No, I don't want to wear it... Oh, Dad." He remembered what Hua Cheng and Xie Lian taught him, and said tremblingly, "Once you put on this green fire, you won't be able to take it off, right?"

If he asked, "Once you put it on, can you still take it off?" Qi Rong might not be telling the truth, but what he asked was "You can't take it off, right?" This question was questioning, of course, it was taught by Hua Cheng and Xie Lian. Qi Rong kicked the hollow head of a petrified man on the spot and said, "Bullshit! I can lock it if I want to, and I can unlock it if I want to! Watch! Dad will unlock one for you to watch!"

After saying that, he pointed at a farmer and shouted, "Damn Xie Lian!"

Xie Lian: “…”

Huacheng: “…”

The will-o'-the-wisp above the farmer's head went out, and he jumped up. However, after a few steps, Qi Rong spit out another ball of green will-o'-the-wisp from his mouth, which covered the farmer's head. Qi Rong laughed loudly, patted Gu Zi's head and said, "How about it, am I awesome, aren't I?"

Xie Lian wiped his sweat on the roof. Hua Cheng looked indifferent but said in a chilly voice: “This loser wants to be even more useless.”

His finger joints seemed to be crackling, and Xie Lian said, “Not bad, not bad. It came out easier than I thought!”

They had originally taught Guzi many clichés to respond, but it seemed that they were no longer useful. No wonder Qi Rong had not scolded Xie Lian just now. It turned out that he had not changed his personality, but had set the sentence he used most often to scold him as the unlocking password. His emotions were really deep. At this point, the two of them no longer needed to hide, and immediately broke through the roof and jumped down!

There was a loud noise, and Qi Rong fell off his chair in fright: "Who is it?! Who is it?!" He looked closely and said: "Dog, dog..." He probably wanted to curse, but then he remembered that this was an important password, so he quickly covered his mouth. The farmers in the corner said one after another: "He seems to have shouted out the password just now, why don't we try to see if we can unlock each other?"

“Yeah, just curse. Even though I feel like I’m being unfair to this guy called Xie Lian, he’s not here, so it shouldn’t be a big deal!”

Hua Cheng raised one eyebrow slightly and looked over here. Yin Yu's forehead dripped with a drop of cold sweat and said, "This... no matter if he is here or not, I suggest that you all better not shout this sentence, otherwise the consequences will definitely be more serious than now..."

Over there, Qi Rong grabbed the grain and used it to block himself, then changed his tone, "Xie Lian, you dog! You are shameless! Eavesdropping! Despicable!"

Xie Lian said depressedly, “What is this thing called a dog possessing you?”

Qi Rong was proud again: "But, hehe, even if you know the password, it's useless! Can you scold yourself? Huacheng, you can't scold yourself either, right?"

Hearing this, Hua Cheng's face darkened, and his knuckles cracked twice. Xie Lian didn't notice it, and was puzzled. He said, "Yes. What's the big deal?" After that, he repeated the command five or six times without hesitation. One person first time. The captives already knew that he was the one cursed in the command, and seeing this, they couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in their hearts: "He has the courage to humiliate himself, a real man!"

However, the ghost fire locks above their heads did not unlock. Xie Lian’s face changed slightly, and Qi Rong laughed wildly, “Hahahahaha! You’ve been fooled! Let me tell you, it’s useless if I don’t unlock it myself! Your scolding was in vain! Hahahahaha…”

A silver butterfly flew past Gu Zi's eyes, and he blinked twice, and soon fell asleep. Qi Rong was still laughing wildly, and suddenly he was whipped by a sleeve and turned eighteen circles, embedded in the wall, blurting out: "Damn Xie Lian!"

After he finished cursing, the ghost fire on Yin Yu's head disappeared, and Yin Yu jumped up and moved away for a distance. Qi Rong realized that he had accidentally said something wrong, so he immediately covered his mouth. Xie Lian said with a pleasant face, "Come on, it's okay, don't suppress yourself, release your nature, and continue to curse."

While he was speaking so kindly, he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Qi Rong. It was hard to tell what he was going to do. Qi Rong shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go ahead and hit me! I will never say that again, even if you kill me!"

But Hua Cheng's voice said solemnly: "It's just what I want."

Qi Rong looked back and saw Hua Cheng giving him a smile that couldn't be more fake, but it disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, his head was slammed three inches into the ground.

“…”

Hua Cheng pulled his head out of the ground. Qi Rong yelled, "How dare you do this to me! I'm going to risk it all. I'm going to burn everyone to death! We'll all die together! Dog Hua Cheng! Burn!"

It seems that this phrase "Dog Flower City" is a matching command for burning and killing. However, after he shouted it, he did not hear anyone screaming. He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see the group of farmers standing opposite him, watching him. Qi Rong was stunned: "What's going on? Why haven't you died yet? Die quickly, die! Who unlocked you?!"

Xie Lian said, “You yourself.” He pointed at a silver butterfly nearby. The silver butterfly was roaring exactly the same as him: “You’re cursing in vain! Hahahaha…”

It turned out that the dead butterfly completely recorded and copied Qi Rong's voice, including his password. As long as he cursed, he could unlock it infinitely. Hua Cheng said coldly: "You can go on your own, others will not accompany you."

Another critical hit, Qi Rong was slapped into the center of the earth by him.

After the smoke slowly dissipated, the farmers gathered around, looked at it for a while, and said, "This... can this be fished out?"

Yinyu jumped down the deep pit that Huacheng had created. After a while, he jumped up with a green tumbler in his hand and said, "City Lord, Your Highness, the Green Ghost Qi Rong has been retrieved."

The green tumbler bared its teeth, rolled its eyes, and stuck out its long tongue, as if it was mocking someone, or as if it was using its life to attract attention. In short, it was in very bad taste, and even children would throw it aside in disgust. I don't know if it was because of his own characteristics that he could only become like this, or if Huacheng deliberately made him like this. Huacheng said, "Don't give us this kind of thing. Just keep it far away."

Yinyu said, “Yes.”

To be honest, Xie Lian didn't really want to hold this thing, so he picked up the grain on the ground. A few dead butterflies flew over from the other side and landed on the back of Hua Cheng's hand. He looked down and said, "We have to go back to the temple quickly."

Xie Lian turned his head abruptly and asked, “Is there something wrong at the temple?”
