Volume 1 First Acquaintance Chapter 3 First Contact

"Yo ho! Isn't this the brother just now, our fate is really not shallow!" It was Huang Wuye and his two followers who had just staged a kidnapping scene outside the city who came in.

"Hah, really. I don't know what Fifth Master Huang is...?" Ling Yue smiled on his face, but he said unlucky in his heart, he was really a narrow man, how could he always meet this person.

This Huang Wuye didn't see outside, squinted a pair of fox eyes, gnawed on the chicken leg and sat next to Ling Yue, and said vaguely: "Hey, we unveiled a demon hunting list, and on the way, I heard that people had seen the demon in a nearby town, so we came all the way from the capital." I just arrived in this Qiuling City today, and I wanted to stay in the guest house, but the inn said that there was no guest room, and it was ordered by some Laoshizi opera troupe... That's when I came to this ruined temple, I plan to do it. How can there be only an inn in such a big Qiuling City, it's really fucking inconvenient!"

Huang Wuye complained and didn't forget to sigh: "But your roast chicken here is really fragrant..." After speaking, he raised his arm and wiped the oil on his mouth with his sleeve, Ling Yue looked at the white brocade cloth and instantly brought a touch of yellow oil and frowned unconsciously.

Don't say that although Huang Wuye's style is a little not too substantial, but the taste of food is the best, this roast chicken in Qiuling City is known as fragrant and fragrant, the selection is a small rooster in the prime of life, slaughtered and cleaned on the spot, the meat is fat but not greasy, fresh and tender not firewood, wrapped with local special herbs; charcoal is also the best lychee wood, the faint fragrance is to relieve the greasy feeling of chicken, limited to 20 pieces a day, close the door to rest after selling. Many outsiders do not hesitate to get up early to catch up hundreds of miles in order to taste this roast chicken. If it is accompanied by two sips of the local special plum wine, it is really happy like a fairy.

The aroma of this roast chicken hit his face with the night breeze in bursts, Ling Yue stared at the vegetarian bun in his hand, and suddenly felt tasteless. I swallowed it one by one, only hypnotizing myself in my heart that this is a roast chicken, to appease the gluttonous worm who was hooked and dancing by the fragrance at the moment.

However, today's experience is not good, Ling Yue didn't want to have anything to do with these people, so he let the little young master babble on the side and didn't answer, just watched the two followers who silently packed up their things in a daze, but I didn't move, but there were always people hooking up and hooking up on the side.

"Those two of my subordinates, Gu Da Gu Er, haven't asked my brother for his name. That Gu Da Gu Er heard his young master mention that he was busy and stopped what he was doing and made a gesture to Ling Yue.

"Ling Yue. ”

"Brother Ling, why did you set up your home in this ruined temple?" The fifth master stared at a pair of fox eyes with a curious expression.

But these words caused Ling Yue to be short of breath for a while, and the bun that he swallowed just now felt even more choked on his chest at the moment, but now that he was curfew, he couldn't find a place to spend the night, since he still had to share a room with this "hard stubble kidnapper", it was not good to ignore them all the time, so he changed into the pure and harmless lop-eared rabbit that he treated Boss Zhu on weekdays, after all, this trick allowed him to stay in the demon field for more than seven years... Thinking of this, Ling Yue couldn't help but sigh, he had just left the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.

"Hey, I originally lived in Boss Zhu's demon arena, and I can't go back after making such a fuss today, so I can only come here to make a living. ”

Huang Wuye looked at his aggrieved appearance, only when he didn't like Boss Zhu, he didn't realize that the grievance of the person opposite also piggybacked on him, and smiled brightly: "Eh! This brother, if you want me to say that we don't know each other if we don't fight! That old pig is really annoying, master, I can help you out of my anger today, it is estimated that he is still hanging from that tree at this moment!" This Huang Wuye became more and more excited the more he spoke, and even tore off a piece of chicken and handed it to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue didn't bother to care about this person, and he completely vaguely passed the kidnapping, but thinking about it, it was really relieving to tie Boss Zhu to a tree today. Looking at the roast chicken in front of him, there is no reason not to eat the food delivered to the door, but since he pretends to be a rabbit, he will pretend to be the end. I saw Ling Yue stretch out his hand to take the roast chicken, and said thank you, and the one who ate it in a small bite was called a cautious one.

As soon as Huang Wuye saw him like this, he thought that he was used to being bullied by Boss Zhu on weekdays, so his feat today could really be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of chivalry filling his chest, so he tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Ling Yue, almost having to recognize Ling Yue on the spot.

Eat and drink enough, you can't forget the demon hunting business when you came to Qiu Ling City, Huang Wuye remembered that Ling Yue came out of the demon field, the demon field is a mixed place, it stands to reason that he should know some miscellaneous news: "Brother Ling, have any strange things happened to you in Qiu Ling City recently?"

"Strange things?" Ling Yue frowned and shook his head, "What kind of strange things are you referring to?"

"For example, has there been a young lady who suddenly disappeared, a master who died suddenly, or who has ever seen a demon?"

"Huh? I haven't heard..."Ling Yue frowned and looked puzzled: "It's been very peaceful lately... Moreover, since Qiu Ling City fought that demon rebellion, except for those business places where demon beasts were made, there were no demons..."

"Then do you have a demon business besides the demon field?"

I saw Ling Yue shook his head: "It's strange when it comes to this, there are still two or three of them, but I don't know why one after another has closed down, and none of them have been able to do it for a long time, and over time, our people here will not do this business, only Boss Zhu has done well, and our field has been open for more than ten years." ”

Huang Wuye looked at Ling Yue's rather proud expression, and felt funny in his heart, what Boss Zhu is doing well, looking at the posture this afternoon, what improper means did the old pig use to crush the opponent... But this Ling Yue is a stupid retinue who is not smart, otherwise he would not have been bullied by that old pig like this... It seems that there is no useful information coming out of his mouth.

Huang Wuye thought that he had fallen back quite decadently, lying on the thick brocade quilt that Gu Da Gu Er had laid for him with a width of half a zhang, staring at the statue of Cihang and began to be in a daze, the only one in this city who did demon business was also served by himself, if this demon really escaped to this city, I am afraid that he will use his human form to mix among the people, it seems that if he wants to catch the monster, he will have to investigate carefully in the city tomorrow...

"Fifth Master, what kind of monster are you going to catch?" Ling Yue asked out of curiosity, but no one paid attention to him for a long time, and when he turned his head, he saw that this Fifth Master Huang had already dreamed of Zhou Gong.

Ling Yue exhaled softly, his shoulders drooped down, no matter what, he finally fell asleep, there should be no more moths tonight, he saw that Gu Da Gu Er was also staying by Huang Wuye's side and closed his eyes to rest, so he found a corner to lie down with his back to them, but he kept staring at the cobwebs in the corner of the wall for a night without closing his eyes. Originally, there were a few knife-wielding "robber demon hunters" lying behind him, and he couldn't sleep peacefully.

Finally got through to the hour, it was the time when Qiu Ling City opened, Ling Yue looked at the three who were sleeping Zhengxiang, and tiptoed up, planning to leave here while Huang Wuye and the others were still awake.

"Brother Ling, why are you going so early?" Before Ling Yue could step out of the temple door, he heard Huang Wuye's voice behind him, his already hoarse voice was still a little low because he had just woken up, Ling Yue looked back and saw that Huang Wuye was lying on the brocade quilt with his eyes squinted, while Gu Da and Gu Er were already standing neatly on the side, their eyes were like torches, not at all like they had just woken up.

These two henchmen... Who the hell is it, Ling Yue was surprised in his heart, and replied casually: "I... Go out for some breakfast..."

Huang Wuye immediately tilted his head when he heard this, but his tone was a little serious: "Brother Ling, it's good that you take us around Qiuling City today, it's the first time we came here to catch demons, and we are not familiar with the place, so don't go to any place that you shouldn't go to." ”

"I'm still going to do today..."There's still something to do, so you can find someone else." As soon as Ling Yue jumped out of the first four words, he saw Gu Da Gu unintentionally tugging at his sword, Ling Yue swallowed his saliva, only to hear himself say: "It's quite idle, I can just take you around..."

So, Ling Yue, who had come out of the broken temple, looked at Huang Wuye who was looking around in front of him, and kept comforting himself that his eldest husband could bend and stretch, and casually pressed down the little man who shouted Ling Yue, you are a coward.

The foggy street still had a quiet feeling of not waking up at this time, and the dew on the green leaves suddenly fell into Ling Yue's collar, which made him feel cold. Pedestrians yawning in the street passed by them, but the lovesick birds playing in the trees were startled by a loud voice and fluttered and flew up.

"Boss, bring me four bowls of your most expensive noodles!"

I saw a man in his thirties coming out of the steaming cauldron, and when he saw the people smiling, he couldn't see his teeth and eyes, and hurriedly beckoned them to sit down.

Huang Wuye came to this southwest place for the first time, and the clothing, food, housing and transportation here are far from the capital, so it is said that the composition of this house is even fresher, and almost all of them are slate houses. He was curious, and asked Ling Yue a few words from time to time.

"This slate house is because of the demon chaos..."After Ling Yue came to Qiuling City, he often heard others mention the tragic situation at that time, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Then we will always make trouble with demons, burning, killing and robbing all kinds of evil, but this is a small town in a mountain nest, and there are few demon hunters to subdue demons." So they all replaced their grass houses with more sturdy slate houses, at least they could resist some monsters with weak spells. ”

However, when it came to demons, Ling Yue suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't asked last night, so he cautiously asked, "Fifth Master, what kind of demon are you catching here this time, this demon has entered Qiuling City, so are we going to be unlucky?"

The fifth master played with the teacup on the stall in his hand, and said casually: "You don't have to worry... It's not going to do anything to you. Seeing Ling Yue's puzzled expression, Huang Wuye sighed: "A strange thing happened in the capital some time ago... There is an official lady who has not yet left the cabinet with a big belly, and her official father only then knows that his daughter has made a private agreement with a man for life, and she is angry with the official master... It can be seen that the girl's whole person is in a trance, and the official lord cherishes his daughter, so he has to follow her thoughts and let her marry the man, but who knows how they can't find the man mentioned by the young lady, the young lady cried so much that she was even more depressed and gave birth to a child early, do you know that child..."Huang Wuye lowered his voice and approached Ling Yue: "That child is actually an ape!"

Wow! Ling Yue gasped and his eyes widened.

"The young lady returned to normal after giving birth, and found her father and said that she didn't know how to be hooked by a white-faced scholar to be happy with him, and there was no memory of the middle process at all, the official old man thought of the white ape that was born, and privately found a master to do it, and then I knew that my daughter was harmed by the white ape demon casting, and the angry official sent a demon hunting list at a high price. We chased the white ape demon all the way to get here..."

"A few guest officers, the meeting is here!"

The boss interrupted Huang Wuye's words with a few bowls of noodles, and the man shook his head helplessly, but suddenly stared at the noodle shop owner. When Ling Yue saw his expression, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and looked at his line of sight, but he didn't find anything strange for a while.

After the boss left, Huang Wuye asked Ling Yue in a serious whisper: "Brother Ling, why does this boss only have a net on his body, which is completely different from what you are wearing?"

Ling Yue, who was hanging with a heart, heard that he was actually curious about this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "He is a short shirt made of bamboo, which is very cool, and there will be more people wearing it in July and August." ”

As soon as he heard this, Huang Wuye thought of a picture of the men on the street all wearing a hollow bamboo shirt, and he couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity of the people, so he continued to bow his head and suck his face.

After sucking up, he didn't forget to chat with Ling Yue: "Eh, Brother Ling, how many years have you been in this Qiu Ling City, where are you from?"

Ling Yue felt strange in his heart, it was said that his life experience had never been mentioned to this Huang Fifth Master: "Why do you say that I am not from this Qiu Ling City?"

"Well, if you are a person from this city, why do you still live in that ruined temple? Huang Wuye didn't raise his head, and replied indifferently.

Ling Yue really didn't want to talk about his past with a stranger who had only met a few times, so he simply said that he was an orphan and then shifted the topic elsewhere, but he didn't notice that Huang Wuye's hands holding chopsticks paused for a moment after hearing that he was an orphan.

This Qiu Ling City is not big, a daytime, Ling Yue also took a few outsiders to turn around those main neighborhoods, seeing that it was dusk, I happened to meet a pastry shop, this shop is also one of the best in Qiu Ling City, Ling Yue looked at the recruitment notice posted at the door, and said to Huang Wuye with a blink of his eyes: "Fifth Master, this shop asked me to do small work for them before, you see, I don't have a living in the demon field now, I have to find a job, this will be here, no matter how I say it, I have to go to say hello to the shopkeeper in the store, today... I'm afraid I'm going to lose company. ”

Hearing this, Huang Wuye did not doubt that he was there, waved his hand and said goodbye to Ling Yue, and turned around and left with two followers.
