Chapter 248: A Strange Place
Qing Huan almost jumped up, "This, is this a demon ......?"
Tu Fang Yanhui nodded very solemnly, with a profound look on his face, "According to the compass, this demon's cultivation is still very unusual, we have been away for so long, we have just walked to the door of the room, and we can sense such a strong demonic aura......"
"So what now, can you find it?" Qing Huan asked anxiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It depends on the mood." Tu Fang Yanhui smiled lazily.
When they returned to the room, Qing Huan and Ning Hao poured tea and handed water to Master Tu Fang one by one, for fear that his old man would be in a bad mood.
Xue Jingxi was also quite kind, and didn't forget to help the two speak, "Xiaohui, don't tease them anymore." You are here to help the two girls. All your kindness is on my head. ā
Qing Huan was very curious about how much Xue Jingxi had inquired about.
"Since it's Brother Jing Xi who speaks, okay." Tu Fang Yanhui shook Erlang's leg and stood up, "Then I'll help you catch that demon." ā
According to the guidance of the demon compass, the four of them went to the north of Liyang. Xue Jingxi and Tu Fangyanhui rode the divine beast named Hunting Wind, and Qing Huan and Ning Hao were holding swords beside them. Curious, the two reached out and touched the black lion that was on fire, and sure enough, the flame was used to see, not only was it not burning at all, but it also had a cool and soft touch like water.
If Ning Xin was really captured by a certain monster and came here, it is no wonder that Emperor Zhen searched for nothing in vain.
Tu Fangyanhui took a few people and stopped on the north bank of the Tang River.
Not far away, the town of Anhe is nestled in the embrace of the mountains. Although this town is located within the territory of the Kingdom of Zhou, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, east, west and north, and is isolated from the real territory of the Kingdom of Zhou. The south side of the river flows, although there are the advantages of waterways, but there is no natural wharf, and the coast is dangerous and steep. The local government is rarely organized, and the higher-level departments have no unified scheduling, so after years of free development, it has not developed into a famous town, and it is a small town with closed information and primitive backwardness. The country governed by the Gao Tang family has always been known for its strong military force, and the few countries need internal political talents, which is a foreign language.
After entering Anhe Town, Tu Fang Yanhui's demon compass didn't move for half a minute. To explain it with his "expertise", that is, they are now in the demon's sphere of influence, so there is no need for the compass to move again.
Qing Huan and Ning Hao heard this, and the back of their necks became even colder. The reason why I felt a little chilly before was that Miss Ning and Major General Xue were both very direct people, and as soon as they entered the city, they used gold baht to pry open the mouths of the residents in the city. Faced with the inquiry that nothing unusual had happened in the city recently, the teahouse guy was reluctant to say more at first, but as soon as he saw the bright gold, there was no taboo at once.
"We're here, haunted." Cha Xiaoer lowered his voice and said mysteriously. Qing Huan immediately had a sense of immediacy when a small stream told her a horror story.
Tu Fangyan was shaking the two stool legs, and immediately "snapped" and froze, "Are you sure it's a ghost, not a demon?" ā
Obediently, although demons are collectively named, demons and ghosts are also two completely different fields, okay? If you are a ghost, it is not within the scope of his Uncle Tu Fang's expertise at all......
Cha Xiaoer thought about it carefully and seriously: "I don't know if it's a demon or a ghost, no one has seen it anyway......"
"I'll just say it," Master Tu Fang regained his lazy posture as if he hadn't woken up, "You have to speak clearly, otherwise it will affect the judgment of professionals......
Ning Hao resisted the urge to slap the table, "Can you resist not interrupting and let him finish the conversation at one time?" ā
Tu Fang Yanhui pursed her lips, is this the same person as the girl who served her tea and water before?
"Let's do this, there are a lot of men and women who secretly pass through the songs, give and receive each other privately, and have a secret knot." Cha Xiaoer said several idioms at once, Qing Huan thought that the little er in this teahouse probably listened to too many commentaries, and he was really much more educated than the little two in the restaurant and inn.
Cha Xiaoer looked at her appreciative eyes, greatly encouraged, and simply continued to sell, "You know why?" ā
Qing Huan did what Ning Hao wanted to do but endured not to do, and patted the case lightly: "We want to know, we still need to ask you?!" ā
Cha Xiaoer cried in his heart, and said honestly: "It's because our girls don't dare to marry." ā
The four of them were all stunned, "Why don't you dare to marry?" ā
"Because this bride, no matter how handsome she is, she is ugly, fat and thin, as long as you dare to marry, the night of the candles in the cave room, you will not be able to keep it." Cha Xiaoer shuddered as he spoke, "Tell me, this is not the work of ghosts, what else can it be?" ā
"Why is it missing? Has anyone seen it with their own eyes? Qing Huan asked.
Cha Xiaoer said bitterly: "Many people have seen it, but they only feel that a fishy wind has blown, and a big living person will disappear immediately, and it is useless for more people to surround and guard." ā
"How long has this been happening?"
Cha Xiaoer snapped his fingers and calculated, "The earliest one should be two and a half years ago, at Old Master Zhang's house in the east of the city." The girl hasn't been found yet. As long as it is a bride who has been taken captive, she will not see anyone alive or dead. But as long as the eldest daughters don't get married, then there is nothing at all, and the monster usually never comes out to make trouble. ā
Tu Fang Yanhui stretched out a finger, pointed at his head and muttered: "Could it be that this demon is still a person who has been tortured by the palace?" So I can't see other people's cave candles? ā
"Uncle, this is what you said, it's none of my business at all." Cha Xiaoer ran away with a grunt.
Seeing that all the questions he wanted to ask were almost done, Ning Hao suddenly said, "But what does this have to do with Ning Xin?" Besides, Liyang is far from here, but it is separated by a whole river! ā
Qing Huan pondered for a while and said, "Could it be that the people in this Anhe town have not been married for too long, and that monster feels lonely...... Ah, how it doesn't matter! Qing Huan's speed of speech suddenly became a little more excited, "Didn't Ning Xin just engage in a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, is that so...... Got that monster excited?! ā
Ning Hao's eyes widened suddenly.
"Don't worry." Xue Jingxi said, "According to this little er, although there is no one alive, there is no corpse either, so the situation has not reached the worst." ā
"And what's next?" Qing Huan said, "Ning Xin has been missing for almost twenty days, this matter should not be slow, what should I do next?" ā
The other three thought together. (To be continued.) )
