Chapter 57: Déjà vu
I don't know how long it took, but finally a tall man about thirty years old appeared in the main hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info And the woman's anxious expression eased with his arrival.
I saw that the man's face was resolute, and there was a wisp of beard on his lips, showing masculinity. came to the woman and laughed softly: "Didn't Madame tell you, don't wait for me." You're not completely healed!"
"Don't worry, husband, I'm fine, but my husband came back much later than usual, nothing happened, right?" the woman asked with concern as she looked at the man carefully.
When the man heard this, he immediately laughed, raised his hands and said, "Madame, I'm too worried, the whole city belongs to me Chen Feng, and who can hurt me." The man's eyes revealed pride and confidence.
"It's okay, it's okay. The woman whispered.
Chen Feng looked at the woman suspiciously and said, "Madame, is there something on your mind?"
Seeing that the woman didn't speak, she immediately laughed: "Madame, don't worry, it's late at night, let's go to bed." ”
The woman nodded silently, and the two of them walked together to the inner room. Halfway through, the woman looked back again, and in the dark night, the rockery was like a demon, looking a little hideous.
......
Before dawn, the rooster crowed, and the sky seemed to be covered with gauze, which seemed to be a little hazy.
Despite this, there are already many grocery sellers and street breakfast shops that are starting to get busy. It was a normal morning as usual, but with a scream, the usual calm was broken.
In the inn, a natural spirit was awakened, hurriedly tidied up, took the seven-star sword, and stepped out of the door. As soon as I went out, I saw Gu Tianxue, who also walked out of the room.
"What's going on?"
Tiansheng slowly shook his head: "I don't know, let's go and have a look." ”
Then the two walked towards the outside of the inn together, and Hu Jiu followed silently behind him. As soon as I got out of the inn, I saw that there were more than a dozen people gathered on the street not far away, all of whom were small merchants and vendors who got up early in the morning.
Tiansheng walked over and gasped when he saw the corpse surrounded by the crowd, while someone next to him was already vomiting.
What appeared in front of him was a shriveled man's corpse, his eyes prominent, and the blackened skin on his body tightly wrapped around his body, and the pain and fear of his death could still be felt.
Born only glanced at it and withdrew from the crowd. Not far away, a group of soldiers was approaching with neat steps. Walking to the side, Tiansheng asked Gu Tianxue with a solemn face: "What do you think of this matter?"
"The essence is sucked dry, it should be the work of the demon. It's just that this place is so close to the inn, and I didn't feel any demonic energy last night, nor did I make any strange noises, which is very unusual. ”
Tiansheng nodded in agreement: "Then now that a demon has appeared, the two of us will stay here for the time being, investigate the matter and make a decision!"
"Aren't you going to rush and go to find your junior brothers and sisters?" Gu Tianxue asked.
"The road can be rushed at any time, and besides, it's been so long, and I don't care about these days. We are immortal cultivators, and it is our duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons, how about it?"
Gu Tianxue raised her head and said indifferently: "You said so, of course this princess has no opinion." ”
"That's good, let's go!"
"Where to go?"
"Looking for food, I woke up hungry early in the morning. Born to hold his stomach and said with a bitter face.
There was a black line on Gu Tianxue's forehead......
It wasn't until Tiansheng ate three big meat buns, a bowl of noodles, and a bowl of broth that he finally had a full burp. Gu Tianxue hurriedly turned her face away, looking like I was not familiar with this guy.
By this time, it was already completely light. After discussing with the two, they thought it would be better to investigate on the street first to see if they could find anything.
Innate thought it was a very correct decision, and it wasn't until the investigation turned into visiting various jewelry stores that Innate didn't know how wrong it was to let a woman go shopping. However, Gu Tianxue still insisted that this was an investigation, and said a lot of reasons, and she was speechless.
And the news of the monsters in the city soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and many people actually said that it was the fox spirit who did it, and pointed the finger at the city lord's wife.
I don't know where the news came from, but there are really many people who believe it. And the reasons are all surprisingly consistent, all because the city lord's wife is too beautiful, like the legendary fox spirit who turned into a human form and sucked the essence of men.
Born to hear these rumors, he smiled and didn't speak, but he choked the fox Jiu angrily. However, because of the natural ban, Hu Jiu could only stare at these people with bulging small eyes.
A day passed without any useful news. In the evening, the two began to investigate on the streets again.
If there are no accidents, then the youkai should continue to commit crimes. But nothing happened until the ugly time, but they met the patrolling soldiers several times, and both of them deliberately avoided it, not wanting to cause other trouble.
Standing on the rooftop, looking at every corner of the city, there is still nothing abnormal, and the whole city is as silent as death. But think about it, the news of the monster killing people during the day has spread throughout the city, and everyone has locked the door tightly, and even the fireworks place has closed early, who will go out in the middle of the night?
Looking at Gu Tianxue who was yawning constantly, did the monster really not come? Looking up at the sky, the moon was dark and the wind was high, what about the murderous night that he had promised? At this time, he was tired for a whole day, and he was already tired.
"I guess it's not coming, let's go back!" Born a little frustrated, he jumped off the roof and landed smoothly on the ground.
Gu Tianxue also jumped down, and the two were about to leave, but they heard a commotion, and a shout came from a distance: "Catch him, everyone hurry up." ”
"It's coming. "Born with a spirit: "After waiting for so long, it's finally here." As soon as the words fell, the seven-star sword was automatically unsheathed and hung in front of him.
As soon as he flew into the air, he saw a black-robed figure jumping on the house, extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he threw the soldiers behind him away. When he was about to catch up with the black-robed man, the sword under his feet automatically flew into the hand of the natural, and the sword under his feet flew quickly from the sky, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of the black-robed monster, and his two feet fell lightly on the roof.
Staring at the black-robed monster in front of him who couldn't see his face clearly, he smiled and said, "Monster, you can't run away, so let's catch it." ”
The black-robed monster looked at Tiansheng in front of him, then looked back at Gu Tianxue who was chasing after him, and immediately turned around and leaped forward, and Tiansheng immediately followed when he saw this. When approaching the black-robed monster, the seven-star sword slashed forward, but he didn't expect to be dodged sideways by the black-robed monster, and then a palm containing powerful power attacked Tiansheng, and he didn't have time to draw his sword back to defend, Tiansheng directly used his left hand to resist this invincible palm, and the two palms struck each other, bringing a powerful wave of qi and rolling up the roof tiles. Born straight down from the roof and floating backwards. The black-clothed monster also took a few steps back, and then took off into the air and disappeared into the night sky at a rapid speed.
Gu Tianxue gently held Tiansheng, looked at the figure that disappeared in the night sky and said, "Are you okay?"
Tiansheng shook his left hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a pity that he escaped." ”
"Yes, let this monster escape, I don't know how many people will be murdered and lose their lives. ”
Born to recall the scene of his pursuit of the black-robed man, and this familiar palm. A trace of doubt came to my heart, and I couldn't help but think, is it really a monster who has been killing people in a row for the past two days? Why do I always feel familiar with this black-robed man?
Cautiously returned to the inn, opened the window and entered the room, and Hu Jiu slept soundly on the bed.
After the black-robed monster ran away, Tiansheng and Gu Tianxue returned directly to the inn, without even looking at who was killed. Since this matter has been discovered by the patrolling soldiers, it is up to them to solve the rest. fell on the ground bunk, and fell asleep like this, tired and sleepy all day!
At this time, at the place where the victim was killed, a large number of soldiers gathered, and the city lord Chen Feng was also among them. Looking at the corpse underground, Chen Feng frowned. Since someone was killed yesterday, patrols have been increased and security has been strengthened. I also patrolled all night and didn't return all night, but I didn't expect this monster to dare to commit crimes against the wind and continue to harm people's lives. The corpses on the ground were carried away by two soldiers on stretchers covered with white cloths, and Zhao Feng called a soldier who had encountered a monster at that time to ask.
"Tell me about the situation. ”
"Yes, City Lord. The soldier began to give a detailed account of the encounter with the youkai.
After hearing this, Chen Feng's brows furrowed even more. According to the soldiers, the monster was wearing a black robe and could not see its face clearly, which was a worthless clue. Later, it was said that there were immortal cultivators who went to chase the monster, but they returned in vain, and it seems that the monster's mana is not weak. It's really nerve-wracking, Chen Feng rubbed his temples with his hands, and beat his spirits.
Although as a city lord and managing such a large city, Chen Feng is a martial artist. I'd rather encounter something with a real knife and a real gun, no matter how powerful the monster is, he's not afraid, but this case solving is really not what he's good at.
Looking at the sky, it was almost dawn. After a few more words of instruction to the soldiers in front of him, he hurried to the palace. Since the appearance of monsters in the jurisdiction, I have been so worried that I haven't had a good night's sleep, I hope tomorrow will be fine!
