On the fourth day of the first month, the towns and villages under the Huming Mountain officially sent people to deliver the post to the Lingying Sect, because the two places are not far apart, and there are no famous local sects, over the years, they have also fallen under the jurisdiction of Lingying.

In the early morning of the fifth day, Taiqing's sedan chair sent Tang Mang back. The sedan chair is the sedan chair given by the queen mother of the dynasty, the sedan chair body is carved with dragon paintings, the bright yellow tassel pendant, the girl who comes down from the car is dressed in pink hosta, the face is cold, and the nobility is extraordinary.

"Senior Sister Mang'er has done a good job this time. Cheng Ruan Wan'er smiled, a water green skirt shirt was the most conspicuous in the crowd, her black hair was tied high, her hanging hair moved slightly, her eyes were like autumn water, and the blue frost sword at her waist lined her straight.

Tang Mang thanked her briefly, walked to Yun Zhao's side and held her, and smiled lightly, "Xiao Zhao, let's go." ”

Yun Zhao and Tang Mang hadn't seen each other for a few days, and they had a lot of things to tell her, so they followed her back.

"Tang Mang, I'm going to Huming Mountain in the afternoon, you're coming back late, do you want to go back and prepare first?"

"By the way, Uncle Tang and the Heavy Cadre Sect are all right?"

"Tang Mang, why did you wear such a high-necked skirt today, did such a style arise in Shu County?" Yun Zhao chattered all the way, and after a long time, Tang Mang didn't agree, a little strange, and turned his head to stare at her.

"Tang Mang?"

The latter turned his face away, his eyes clear, and the smile on his face was the same as usual, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth was exactly the same.

"Xiao Zhao, what's the matter?"

......

As soon as lunch passed, Yingfeng Zhenren and a few disciples who were going to go to the training told them some precautions, and sent everyone back to the mountain to prepare. Yun Zhao went back and brought Jiu Lisuo and Xiao Jiu, and when he wanted to go to Taoyuan to say goodbye to him, he found that the master was no longer in the temple.

"Master told me some precautions yesterday, and then he said that he was going to go out to do some things, but he didn't say what the specifics were. Xue Wuzhi helped her straighten her messy hair and said patiently.

Yun Zhao sighed and muttered in a low voice, "Master still loves you more." ”

The young man couldn't help laughing, his smile was like melting snow in spring, and he didn't explain that "the master told him to take care of her".

Half an hour later, ten disciples gathered in front of the gate of Lingying Mountain, Yingfeng handed over the matter of going down the mountain to Xue Wuzhi and Cheng Ruan, the two of them were afraid that they had joined the sect early, and Xue Wuzhi was relieved to let the elders be relieved.

It is only half a day from Lingying Mountain to Huming Mountain, and before I get to the place, there is a government team that greets each other, and the people are surrounded on both sides and probably don't know who is in the convoy, so they are all kneeling in fear, and occasionally some young dolls are curious to look up.

A child was pressed on his head and cried, Xue Wuzhi couldn't bear to look at it, turned over and dismounted to help the child and the woman up, and the leading county official staggered over, and a smile turned into a flower, "Dare to ask if it is the little Taoist master taught by Lingying?"

Yun Zhao saw that Heng and his party also got off the car, and they were also a little puzzled when they saw this battle.

"These people are kneeling...... Yun Zhaoxin said more quickly, "Are there any court officials coming?"

The county official thought for a moment in his mind, then squinted and smiled and nodded again and again, "What the Taoist chief said is right, Lingying Dajiao relieves the country's worries and relieves the people's difficulties, isn't it an important official of the imperial court!"

None of the children who came were ignorant children, and the county magistrate woke everyone up with a word.

Only the proud Cheng Ruan and the others...... Yun Zhao and the others looked at the fat and strong officers and soldiers, and then looked at the frightened people, and they all had a strange feeling in their hearts that they couldn't explain.

The county magistrate originally planned to place a few disciples in his mansion for entertainment, but Xue Wuzhi thanked him politely, explaining that the disciples had come with experience and were not suitable for comfort, so he planned to stay in the house of the household where the monster had recently appeared on the first night.

The county magistrate naturally praised and touted it, and then told the resident to be hospitable.

Fortunately, the household was a squire, and there were many houses in the house, and the men and women lived separately in pairs, and it was not crowded.

"It's because I'm not thoughtful," Xue Wuzhi said to the squire apologetically, "We're going to cause trouble to the layman these days, may I ask your surname?"

The squire's face was not bad, but his eyes were blue and black, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said a few words, "Don't dare to be", "The cheap name is afraid of dirty, and the noble surname is Zhu ...... In my house, it happens to be the one where the yellow-skinned monster recently came in. ”

"Yellow-skinned monsters?" Yun Zhao asked, "Does it hurt anyone?"

Seeing Heng clenching the sword in his hand, he leaned towards Yun Zhao.

The squire smiled with a pale face, "Uchiko was pregnant a few years ago, and she was so scared that she lost her fetus, and now she is bedridden. ”

"What does that monster look like?" asked Cheng Ruan.

"I only stumbled upon a glance at it, and I was ...... It's covered with yellow hair, and it's said that anyone who looks at it will be stripped of their skin, and I......I don't dare to look at it."

Seeing that the squire's face was getting whiter and paler, Xue Wuzhi thanked him warmly, and the man was busy claiming to take care of Neiko, and hurriedly left.

In the evening, the people who came to the squire's house stepped through the threshold, and some of the people carried baskets and baskets, covered with some eggs and home-made food, and their faces were devoid of the restraint of the officers and soldiers, and when they saw the ten Lingying disciples, their faces were full of gratitude and reverence.

It turned out that these people were all representatives sent by several towns and villages with casualties, and the demons made people panic before the year, and today, they are finally looking forward to the "savior".

Xue Wuzhi couldn't resist the kindness of the villagers, and several disciples were surrounded by the villagers and sat down, but when talking about monsters, everyone was hesitant and didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, no one has ever seen the true face of the monster, and I dare not say that it is because everyone is afraid, and the monster has hands and eyes to the sky, and I am afraid that the next thing it will find is its own home.

"I only know that at the beginning it haunts during the day, and it will deceive children with food, and it will turn into injured people to deceive adults and the elderly, and then it will haunt at night, and people will die wherever they go. An old woman said in a dumb voice.

"I—I heard that ......" The young woman on the side timidly glanced up at a few disciples, "I heard that monster hates Taoist priests the most, and the few who came in front of him were all ......."

"Aunt Li, don't talk nonsense!" The emaciated woman next to her stopped her words with a shriek, her eyes couldn't stop glancing at a few disciples, her face full of panic.

I haven't heard of a Taoist friend who came before Lingying sent someone......

Yun Zhao and Xue Wuzhi glanced at each other.

"It should be a loose cultivation," Xue Wuzhi said in a low voice, and then turned to the people, "Don't worry, everyone, we will get rid of this monster, otherwise we won't leave. ”

The villagers wiped their tears and thanked them repeatedly.

After a wave of people left, Yun Zhao and Tang Mang were in the same room, and next door to the two were Jian Heng and Xue Wuzhi. Seeing that Heng was wide and fat, and no disciple wanted to share the same room with him, Xue Wuzhi took the initiative to join him.

The squire's house is one and a half floors, and the upper half is a storage place, and the bedding downstairs is not enough, so Yun Zhao took the initiative to go up and move a bed down.

She hugged a futon, and suddenly heard the sound of talking outside, so she bent down and walked to the half-story verandah to look down.

Seeing that Heng and Tang Mang were arguing about something, then he pulled his face aggrievedly, rushed to the well not far away, picked up something, and then rushed back with that thing screaming.

Yun Zhao looked amused, and asked in a loud voice, "Little bolt, what are you holding?"

Seeing that Heng didn't hear Yun Zhao speak, he only lost his temper in a rare whisper at Tang Mang, "You, didn't you hear that lady say that monsters tempt children with food?!! you still let me go!"

Tang Mang snorted, snatched the end of the thing and looked, "Are you a child, ......?"
