Chapter 33: Deception

In the dark night.

On the street.

Two people.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

Li Qi was confused, he was still waiting for Master Zhu to introduce him, then he could introduce himself, and both sides could get to know each other, so that they could get started!

What happened to this new boss? He came over to ask a few questions, then threw him here and left? !

This boss is a bit irresponsible...Or is he not the only candidate to find Luofu Niangniang? He is still busy getting other backups?

No, maybe he is the backup.

However, it is not only Li Qi who is confused, but also Shen Shuibi.

The rabbit demon was full of doubts, and even forgot the previous vigilance and disgust.

Ah? This annoying big Zhu just left like that?

Leaving him and the equally annoying little Zhu together to find Niangniang?

Will he follow him?

These Zhu people are very insidious. It is said that there are all kinds of supernatural things up and down Wushen Mountain.

The people who wish for fortune are relatively normal, and those who communicate with the outside world are usually the people who wish for fortune.

The people who tell fortunes are even more crazy. It is said that they are always mumbling to themselves, using divination to calculate others and themselves. They don't speak clearly, and rely on others to guess what they mean.

In addition to these two categories, other types of witches are all crazy in legends. They are all the kind of witches who dance to the gods. Some of them always talk to the air, which is very difficult to understand.

Shen Shuibi was full of doubts.

However, Li Qi reacted faster. He stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen, do you still remember me? We met today during the day."

"I know, you are the little witch who secretly came to catch me!" Shen Shuibi said with a vigilant face.

She looked Li Qi up and down, carefully examining every detail of him.

His skin is brown and black, and he should be often exposed to the sun. It is a bit rough and not delicate. You can tell at a glance that he is a low-level person. It is estimated that he did rough work before.

The clothes...are also very shabby, all linen clothes, worn out everywhere, full of torn places, but it is estimated that there is no woman to help, so there is not even a patch, and no one fixes the holes.

It feels really pitiful.

As for the face...it is quite good-looking, with a heroic feeling, and looks very honest and sincere.

Pah! How can this little witch be honest? He is full of tricks and calculations. Listening to his conversation with the big witch, he must be a treacherous villain.

Li Qi felt that the other party was examining him.

So he straightened his back and said righteously: "Wasn't it purely accidental when we met last time? Miss Shen, you were trapped by that demon, or we rescued you, and after meeting you, I also let you go. How can you say that they came to arrest you? Just because you have a high status, you can slander me at will?"

"But after you came last time, that big witch came to arrest me!" Shen Shuibi said aggrievedly and a little angry.

"How can a small pawn like me know what the great master is doing?" Li Qi smiled bitterly: "In fact, I am just as confused as you!"

After saying this, Li Qi put his position together with Shen Shuibi.

But before Shen Shuibi could react, he immediately said: "It's just that, Miss Shen, I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing."

"How can it not be a bad thing? You clearly have intentions towards the queen!" Shen Shuibi was furious.

Intentions towards the queen...why does it sound so strange? Li Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But he knew how to fool people, so he immediately followed the topic: "The queen of Luofu was persecuted by the Tang Kingdom, I guess Miss Shen also knows it?"

When it comes to this topic, Shen Shuibi stopped talking, and her expression became visibly depressed.

This woman...is really single-minded.

But this is not bad, after all, it is easy to deceive.

Li Qi thought, but he didn't stop talking: "We Wushen Mountain and Luofu Niangniang are on the same side, and we are both enemies of the Tang Dynasty."

He has now opened his mouth and said "our Wushen Mountain", although Li Qi actually doesn't know what Wushen Mountain is, but a thigh is a thigh, it's better to hold it tight.

"Since we have a common enemy, I'm sure you know that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Wushen Mountain went to Luofu Niangniang purely out of the mentality of wanting to cooperate. In order to make the Niangniang feel at ease, even let me, a small pawn, be a messenger, so that there will be no threat to the Niangniang. And I am an outsider, and I can't confirm the location through divination, which can also make the Niangniang feel at ease, because it is impossible to track Luofu Niangniang by tracking me."

"Such a lot of reassuring means, don't they show sincerity?" Li Qi said sincerely.

Really sincere?

Of course not, it's all nonsense. If it really wants to do something, Li Qi believes that Wushen Mountain has ten thousand ways to get around it.

But...

For people with poor brains, a bunch of reasons and causes, coupled with a sincere tone, can easily convince people.

It can be seen that Shen Shuibi was indeed moved,

because it seems that...what Li Qi said, uh, may, should, perhaps, probably...seems to make some sense?

Seeing that Shen Shuibi was confused, Li Qi struck while the iron was hot and took out a willow branch: "Miss Shen, take a look at this. I am of low status and have never come into contact with any magical instruments or the like. I don't know what the young master gave me. You come from the side of Luofu Queen, so I think you must know!"

Shen Shuibi was still thinking, but was suddenly interrupted, and subconsciously shifted her attention to the willow branch.

Under Li Qi's sincere gaze and pleading, she seemed to be unable to refuse...

So, she replied: "Well, this should be a willow branch infused with the spirit of the earth god, which can ward off evil spirits, and has the effect of binding, and can also whip evil spirits."

"There is a record... 'On the first day of the first month of the year, take a willow branch and put it on the door, and all ghosts will not enter the house.' I heard from the queen that there is a treasure in Tianzhu called the Jade Purification Bottle, which has a willow branch inserted in it, so the willow branch is an evil-warding object. After being infused with the spirit of the earth god, its power is doubled, and it is estimated that it can even kill people, but it's just like that, not even worthy of being placed in the queen's vase." Speaking of this, Shen Shuibi became a little proud.

"I see, Miss Shen is indeed knowledgeable." Li Qi really didn't know these, so he praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Huh!" Shen Shuibi had been fleeing for too long, and it seemed that she was finally praised, so she straightened her chest and was very proud.

"Then let's find a place to rest first. I'll listen to you, Miss Shen, and let me learn more. Please take care of me on the road in the future." Li Qi said.

"Of course." Shen Shuibi responded politely.

However, she didn't realize it at all.

In fact, she didn't agree to go on the road with Li Qi before.
