Chapter 5: Catching Demons
Wang Sheng walked into the house.
"General......
Immediately after, a "choking" sound of a weapon being unsheathed sounded.
Swords, swords, bows, swords, and spears all pointed at Wang Sheng...... Yang Ming behind it!
Yang Ming followed behind Wang Sheng and walked in with a bright face, with a light smile on his face, and his expression was calm, as if the person who was being faced by the sword was not him, and everything here had nothing to do with him.
In fact, it is true that he doesn't care, and he doesn't need to worry.
But his indifferent appearance was understood in the eyes of others as fearless and deliberately provocative.
"What a traitor, you dare to send him to the door, take him down for me!"
While Gao Xiang shouted, the long sword in his hand was raised, and he was about to rush towards him.
"Stop!"
At this time, Wang Sheng suddenly spoke up and said in a deep voice: "He is not a murderer, the murderer is someone else." ”
"What!"
Several exclamations rang out at the same time.
Wang Sheng explained: "When Liu Dagen was killed, he was with me all the time, and it was impossible for him to commit murder. ”
"Are you together?" Xiahou Xiang and Jing Ping looked surprised. How could these two people, one of whom is a soldier and the other a thief, stay together in peace, which is even more surprising than Wang Sheng saying that Yang Ming is not a murderer.
"What the hell is going on, you're confusing us. Gao Xiang said in a muffled voice.
Wang Sheng glanced at them and explained simply: "In fact, there is no 'fear of crime and absconding' at all, Brother Yang did this to lure the real murderer hiding in the shadows to appear. Sure enough, as soon as he heard that Brother Yang had escaped, the heart-digging swordsman immediately jumped out to commit murder. Trying to blame someone else for the crime. He didn't know that this was a plan that we had discussed in advance, so it was. On the contrary, it can prove Brother Yang's innocence even more. ”
"I see. Gao Xiang said.
"General, why don't you inform us of this kind of thing in advance. Mo Chai said with a wry smile.
"If only you had known in advance. It's not like acting. Wang Shengdao.
"Well, since Mr. Yang's innocence has been proven, what should I do next?" asked Xiahou Xiang.
Yang Ming took two steps forward, looked around, and said loudly: "From the time the murder happened to the time you came, it was only two breaths of effort, and during this period, there were patrols around the house, and the murderer would definitely not have time to escape...... He's here now. ”
The lizard demon is not good enough, although it can make its body transparent. But there are also some clues that can be revealed when moving. Therefore, it is impossible for him to leave quickly, which is one thing.
Second, the murderer did this to blame Yang Ming, and he would definitely stay to see the result after the killing, so as to determine if things were the same as he thought.
Everyone has curiosity, especially after doing a bad thing, and they are more concerned about the outcome.
The lizard demon was startled, and immediately retreated cautiously and slowly.
"Show me the form. ”
At this moment, Yang Ming shouted. Raise your hand and shoot three palms into the sky, one palm is faster than the other, the second true qi catches up with the first true qi, and the third true qi catches up with the first and second true qi at the same time.
Three True Qi exploded at the same time. There was a loud "boom" in mid-air.
The strong air flow swept away in all directions, forming a radial wind that caused all the soldiers to squint.
At this moment. Yang Ming was engrossed in sensing the flow of the air currents around him.
The wind will make a slight sound when it moves through the air, if it is blocked by obstacles. The sound produced will vary.
Yang Ming used the difference between what his eyes saw and what his ears heard to capture the lizard demon's stealth position.
This is also the stupid method he came up with when he had nothing to do, if he had the realm of the unity of heaven and man. There is no need to be so troublesome at all, and you can sense the surrounding aura directly by releasing the aura.
"Found it! ...... there"
A fine light burst out of Yang Ming's eyes, shooting like a sharp sword somewhere on the roof.
In his sight, it was clearly empty, but when the strong wind swept over, it turned inexplicably.
It turned out that after the lizard demon committed the murder, he did not leave at all, but used his magic to hide on the roof, only a foot away from everyone.
Knowing that it had been discovered, the lizard demon could no longer hide its form, and suddenly increased its speed, running forward with its limbs parallel and running forward like a cheetah.
"Where to run!"
Yang Ming's reaction was also very fast, and as soon as he discovered the enemy's traces, he made a move, and blasted towards the lizard demon with a punch.
The punch came first, catching up with the lizard demon like lightning, and slammed into him with a "bang".
"Boom!"
A hole burst into the roof, and the lizard demon fell into the house along with the human tiles.
Yang Ming stepped out in one step, as if shrinking into a ruler, only to see a figure flash, and he had already stepped into the door.
The next moment, Wang Sheng's voice sounded: "Don't let him run away!"
As he spoke, he rushed forward.
The sound of a "pop" fight sounded in the room, and before Wang Sheng and the others could get closer, the lizard demon had already broken through the wall - he was blasted out by Yang Ming's punch.
"Bang!"
The lizard demon really smashed on the ground, and immediately turned over and stood up again, except for the image of a wolf, it was completely fine.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ming jumped out of the hole in the wall after him, and landed in front of the lizard demon with an arrow step, and with his true qi, he slammed his fist at him.
"Ahh
The lizard demon roared angrily, and punched him as well - the feeling of not being able to fight back was really unpleasant. In terms of moves, he is far inferior to Yang Ming.
"Hmph. ”
Yang Ming snorted lightly, and his true qi exploded instantly, flying the lizard demon out like a baseball.
"Bang!"
The lizard demon had no power to resist at all, and bounced out with a "whoosh", slamming its back against the wall on the other side of the house.
The walls shattered, and he fell into the house, buried him deep in the bricks and rubble.
"Up. ”
Gao Xiang shouted and rushed forward with his men.
Yang Ming said hurriedly: "Don't go over." ”
Before the words fell, the ruins exploded with a "boom". The masonry flew, and several soldiers who had no time to dodge were immediately hit by the masonry. Screamed loudly.
"Hahaha...... That's it, what can you do with me? The lizard demon laughed. was hit several times in a row. He realized that the opponent's strength was far less powerful than he imagined, and it couldn't really hurt him at all, and he immediately laughed proudly.
"yes, then you can try again. ”
Yang Ming's palm quickly swiped around his waist, making a gesture of pulling the sword, and a long sword appeared in his hand, and then stepped in front of the lizard demon, and the long sword slashed horizontally.
"Chop. ”
The lizard demon flew back. But the speed at which he retreated was far less than the speed at which Yang Ming took out his sword, and his body was still slashed by the long sword.
"Phew!"
The sound of wood grinding against each other sounded.
Yang Ming slashed at the lizard demon's chest with a sword, slicing through the demon armor made of its animal skin, and blood overflowed.
Although he made a contribution with a sword, Yang Ming was taken aback, and the long sword slashed on the demon armor, just like a blunt knife cutting meat, only cutting a shallow layer.
"It's such a strong defense, ordinary little demons are already so powerful. If it's a big demon or an old demon, what kind of power should it be? ”
This was the first time he had encountered something that even the Xuansu Sword could not slash, and this thing was still flesh and blood.
"Ahh
The lizard demon screamed, and his face changed dramatically. His eyes were shocked.
"If you keep slashing with one sword, you will cut two swords, and if you keep slashing with two swords, you will slash ten swords...... As long as he can break through the defenses, he will definitely die!"
Yang Ming thought secretly in his heart. Another sword was slashed out of his hand.
"Phew!"
The long sword slashed at the original scar as if it were the same, without the slightest deviation.
The wound on the lizarddemon's chest became deeper and heavier. Blood is sold.
"Ahh
The lizard demon screamed and retreated in panic.
He was scared.
He sensed a mortal crisis.
It's the first time someone can hurt him without using a magic weapon.
"You can't run. ”
Yang Ming took a step forward. The distance between the two was quickly narrowed, and he swung out a third sword while pressing forward step by step.
"Phew!"
The lizard demon screamed again, and blood gushed out.
Yang Ming's swordsmanship is like an antelope hanging on its horns, exquisite and unparalleled, no matter how he resists, the long sword will cut his wound impartially.
This sword has already cut through his skin, and the next sword will slash his flesh.
Whether it's a human or a demon, if someone cuts open his stomach, he will die.
"Die!"
Yang Ming raised his long sword again.
A look of despair appeared on the lizard demon's face.
At this moment, a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky above the house, this dark cloud was very strange, it was pressed very low, almost directly on the roof, and it was within reach.
The sky seemed to be detained, and the sight suddenly became pitch black.
Suddenly, dark clouds suddenly descended, and smoke filled the entire houseyard.
All around was a strange black gas, all the light disappeared, and the five fingers could not be seen.
When this smoke fell, Yang Ming felt a chill, and couldn't help shivering, goosebumps rising.
"Beep-"
At this moment, an alarm flashed in Yang Ming's mind, and before he could think about it, his body reacted subconsciously, and his upper body bent and fell backwards suddenly.
The whole person was folded into ninety degrees.
"Whoosh!"
A strong wind swept across his face, bringing a chill with him.
"Oh no, it's her!"
A thought suddenly popped up in Yang Ming's mind, and he was shocked.
The person he thought of was naturally the fox spirit Xiao Wei, and before she could make another move, Yang Ming had already reacted, and his body naturally drooped and lay flat on the ground.
Immediately, he kicked the roots of his feet, and the whole person flew out like sharp arrows against the ground.
"The enemy can see me, but I can't see the enemy, it's not good. ”
Yang Ming muttered to himself, his body suddenly bounced, and he was three or four feet tall in one rush, directly rushing out of the encirclement of dark clouds and appearing in midair.
As he reached the apex, the afterimage flashed again.
Yang Ming fell to the ground and landed lightly on a tall small building next to him.
"Whew!"
The breeze blew, but instead of dissipating with the wind, the smoke began to lighten, like ink dripping in clear water. The color gets lighter and lighter, and finally slowly disappears.
Along with the smoke disappeared the lizard demon.
"It's so heavy yin. Xiahou muttered. An inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes.
"It's so cold!"
"What the hell is this weather. ”
"Oh no?"
"The murderer is gone. ”
"Let's split up and look for it. ”
Gao Xiang and the others shouted.
"No need to look for it. ”
Yang Ming floated down from the small building and said to everyone: "The murderer has been rescued by his companions. ”
"Heart-digging swordsman and companions?" someone exclaimed.
"That's right. I remembered that the murderer just appeared out of nowhere. Isn't he supposed to be ......?"
"Youkai!"
As soon as these two words came out, everyone's cold hair immediately exploded, and they looked around vigilantly from side to side, lest monsters suddenly pop up around them.
The morale of the army is fluctuating, and the people's hearts are in turmoil.
"Don't be suspicious, there are no monsters in the world! It's just some deceptive tricks. Wang Sheng said calmly.
"General, I think the Heart-Digging Swordsman could really be a monster. Xiahou Xiang suddenly spoke at this time.
"Have you ever seen a monster?" Wang Sheng asked.
"Nope. But I'm a soldier of the Yin and Yang family, and I've seen records of monsters in the classics. Xiahou said.
Wang Sheng glanced at him. Didn't speak again.
"Are there really youkai?" the crowd whispered.
Only this time, they didn't deny the monster theory so resolutely, and their hearts had already begun to waver a little.
……
Xiao Wei helped Xiao Yi to lie down, glanced at the wound on his chest, a layer of anger appeared on his delicate jade face, and his eyes were cold, as if he was going to eat people.
"Ahem. ”
Xiao Yi coughed lightly, the wound on his chest burst again, and blood gushed out. A smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Wei, thank you for ......"
"Don't speak, I'll help you heal first. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiao Wei opened her mouth and spit out, and a demon pill the size of a pearl pill flew out of her mouth. Quietly hung in front of her. The demon pill is crystal clear, there is brilliance circulating inside, and a layer of white mist-like mist is swirling around the outside of the demon pill. It's like a dream, better than any gem in the world.
She spread her palms. The demon pill flew into her palm, and then. Her jade pointed at the demon pill, and then pointed at Xiao Yi's chest, and silently recited the mantra in her mouth, and the mist that swirled around the demon pill surged, turning into a column of water that continued to pour into Xiao Yi's chest.
The next moment, the wound on Xiao Yi's chest slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but after half a cup of tea, the wound that was deep enough to see the bone had completely disappeared.
Xiao Wei's face turned slightly pale, and he opened his mouth to suck it again, and swallowed the demon pill into his stomach.
During the healing process, Xiao Yi kept staring at Xiao Wei's eyes, although his face was pale, his eyes were full of joy.
"Xiao Wei, thank you for saving me, I know you care about me. ”
"Stupid, if it weren't for the fact that you were still useful, I wouldn't have bothered to waste the essence to save you. Xiao Wei snorted coldly, and then said: "This time I made a mistake in my calculations, I didn't expect this matter to be a trap, but I inherited Yang Ming." ”
Xiao Yi immediately said: "It's none of your business, human beings are cunning, you must not trust them." ”
Xiao Wei glared at him angrily and said, "You don't need to take care of my affairs, you just take care of yourself." Although I have healed your wounds, you have broken your vitality. Also, don't be stupid and fight hard when you meet him in the future, and run away if you can't beat him. ”
"I see. Xiao Yile said hehehe, Xiao Wei showed a little concern, and he was as happy as eating ginseng fruit. "What about the one surnamed Yang?"
"I'll find a way to deal with him. "Little Weidao.
……
Governor's Mansion.
Wang Sheng arranged for his subordinates to strengthen patrols, and then returned to the mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the house, Xiao Wei greeted him.
"Brother Wang, you're back, it's cold at night, I'll boil you ginseng soup, drink it while it's hot." ”
Wang Sheng took the ginseng soup and drank it "snoring", and immediately felt that the chill on his body had dispelled a lot, put down the bowl and said, "Xiao Wei, I haven't slept so late." Your face isn't very good. ”
Xiao Wei had just used the demon yuan to heal Xiao Yi's injuries, and she hadn't recovered yet, so she looked a little haggard, but this added to her weakness. "When I think of Brother Wang fighting the enemy outside, my heart can't settle down, and I can't sleep. ”
Wang Sheng's face softened a little, and he said softly: "Okay, I'm back, you can go to sleep too." ”
"Good. ”
Xiao Wei responded, pretending not to know anything, and asked with concern: "Brother Wang, has that heart-digging swordsman been caught, you don't need to go out again." ”
"Xiao Wei, do you believe that there are monsters in this world?" Wang Sheng suddenly asked.
"Youkai? Xiao Wei doesn't know...... Xiao Wei is just an ordinary little woman with shallow knowledge and can't help Brother Wang. Xiao Wei felt sorry for himself, and he felt a little guilty for not being able to help. Then he exclaimed again: "Why does Brother Wang ask that, is it ...... You've run into a youkai. ”
"Don't worry, I believe there are no monsters in this world, they are all just humans. Wang Sheng said, and then roughly recounted what happened during the night.
"It turns out that Brother Yang is not the murderer, I blame him by mistake...... I haven't given him a good look these days, it's really too much. Xiao Wei blamed himself.
"You don't have to blame yourself, I'm sure Brother Yang won't blame you. Wang Shengdao.
"Well, I know, tomorrow I will go to apologize to Brother Yang and ask her to forgive me. Xiao Wei said seriously, with a sincere attitude, so that people couldn't find the slightest fault.
It is said that drama is like life, her life is acting, and she acted very smartly, fascinating all men.
Wang Shengdu was a little attracted to her, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, you go to sleep." ”
……
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Mo Chai came to the mansion and told Wang Sheng a message: "General, we found several corpses outside the city, which had been dead for two or three days. Most of the dead were sand bandits and merchants, and their hearts were all gouged out, and their deaths were exactly the same as those of several victims in the city, most likely by heart-digging swordsmen. ”
"No wonder there are no fatalities in the city these days, it turns out that he ran away from the city. Wang Sheng muttered.
"Yes, it was because the murderer was killing people outside the city, we only stared at the city, so we couldn't receive the news in time, and almost mistook Mr. Yang for a heart-digging swordsman. Mo Chai sighed.
"Thankfully, it didn't make a big mistake. (To be continued......)
