The banshee looked cautiously at Yi Ling, her pearl-bright eyes mixed with unexplained sadness. Yiling didn't speak, let her look herself up and down, and at the same time, looked at her with a pair of golden eyes.

Although the breath on this girl's body does not look like bamboo, she has never seen it, she has never heard of the habit of bamboo demons, and only comes out at night. So, what exactly is she?

Finally made sure that the person in front of her was not a threat to her, and the banshee's hanging heart was also relaxed. The frowning brows also relaxed a little, and Yiling saw that her complexion softened slightly, and her lips opened slightly: "Do you know that someone will come to arrest you tonight?"

The banshee nodded, and after a moment, she looked away, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Yi Ling noticed it and asked tentatively.

"Nope." The banshee replied quickly, but her expression betrayed her.

Yiling frowned: "If you don't have anything on your mind, why don't you run away?" Why look for Xu Hongbin? ”

Since the Great War between the demons and demons five hundred years ago, the demon clan has either retreated to the mountains and forests, or changed their appearance and stayed in the world

Ordinary demons can't wait to be separated from humans at the ends of the world and never see each other again, but she appeared in front of humans as a demon. If there is no obsession, then this girl is the number one demon today.

The woman's eyes dimmed, and when Ling Ling saw this, she sighed: "I was entrusted by Xu Hongbin to help you, if you have any difficulties, you might as well just say it."

"I'm alone and I can't think of a solution, can I?"

The banshee was silent again, and the cold wind swept across the courtyard, making a "whine" sound, like the whimper of a ghost, and like the wail of the night.

Yi Ling devoted herself to helping the banshee deal with her thoughts, but she didn't find that there was a person hidden behind the rockery not far in front of the bamboo.

Li Xiaoyao leaned against the rockery and clenched the saber in his hand. The shovel sat at his feet, and now it seemed that it was no longer needed. The wind swept through the ends of his hair, and he remained motionless like a lifeless puppet. The kind and kind eyes on weekdays are like eagles that have found their prey, hiding murderous intentions.

He had already calculated in his heart that as soon as the two demons relaxed their vigilance, he would rush out and strangle them all.

In fact, he didn't have to be so anxious, he had already made an appointment with Zhang Daochang to meet here when he was in the main hall during the day, if it weren't for some unexpected situation, he should still be in the room to prepare for the demon hunt now.

But there is no way, the place where the banshee lives, there are so many things that are not clean.

Demons suck human flesh and blood, and their own cultivation will greatly improve, and the more people who eat, the faster their cultivation will grow. The initial demon cultivation will not change much, but human flesh is extremely addictive to them, and after moving, they will have a strong thirst, like crazy to want more, and finally become bloodthirsty and brutal, out of control.

Since the Great War, because of the wide distribution of demon exterminators, demons do not dare to kill living people at will, for fear of causing death. But it is still inevitable that there will be monsters with ill intentions, stealing corpses and blocking the road.

Li Xiaoyao's parents died in this way.

Therefore, the demon exterminator and his party have a rule that must not be violated, and all demon beasts and cannibals will be executed on the spot at all costs. The corpse is burned in the crematorium for seven days to ensure that it dies completely, the ashes are thrown into the sea, and the used stove is thoroughly purified to ensure that the demons' evil spirits do not attach to it.

At the moment, although this banshee is not bloodthirsty and cruel, Li Xiaoyao knows that no one can guarantee that she has not touched the human flesh buried under the bamboo. Therefore, even if he risked his life, he would send this banshee to the palace of Hades.

"Under this bamboo, there are bones."

Maybe she felt that she could still be trusted, or maybe there was really no other way to go, but the banshee pondered for a long time and still opened her mouth.

But she didn't know that this simple sentence not only scared Yiling, but also saved her own life.

Li Xiaoyao was a little trance-like, and the hand holding the sword also reduced his strength. He has killed a lot of man-eating demons, and it is the first time he has seen him directly tell others where the corpses are buried.

"My name is Yue'er. Thirteen years ago, I was a human ......," the girl began, "I remember everything that happened before, but my real name was forgotten completely after I became a demon. The name 'Yue'er' was written down again after a long time when I vaguely remembered that someone had called me like this. ”

Humans have become demons? Yi Ling frowned, even Li Xiaoyao, who was hiding behind the stone, was very puzzled, he had never heard of such a thing as killing demons and beasts for more than ten years, turning people into demons.

"I remember that I was the daughter of a large family, and I was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Because she is the only daughter in the family, she is deeply spoiled by her parents. My mother's friend has a son who is about the same age as me, and we are two childhood sweethearts, growing up together and having a deep friendship. Originally, my parents on both sides were already planning to get engaged to the two of us. But he said that if a man does not achieve a great cause, how can he keep a small family. So fifteen years ago, he left home and went out to wander. ”

"I've been waiting for him at home. He would send two letters a month, one to his parents and one to me. There was some silver attached to both sides, saying that he was very good outside, did some business, and made some money, so that the family would not worry. Although the businessman is not as developed as an official, the family is relieved to see that he has made some appearances. He only wrote back to him saying that his family was fine, he didn't have to worry about it, and let him take care of himself. ”

"Originally, everything was going well, but after two years, he suddenly wrote to me one day that he had traveled with a caravan and came to Luohuang. Luohuang is located in the center of the Xuanwu Kingdom, with developed transportation, and has always been friendly with the surrounding cities, and has been a place for merchants to make money since ancient times. He said that the scenery here is beautiful, the feng shui is also positive, and the climate is suitable. If the business here is good enough, I will buy a house here, and bring my parents and me over to share the joy of family. When the family heard the news, they were happy for a long time. ”

"Two months later, he told me that he had some savings and was preparing a big business, and if this list was completed, then he could really gain a foothold in Luohuang, and at that time, he would definitely invite eight sedan chairs to officially marry me into the door."

Yue'er's eyes were full of tenderness, "My happiness at that time cannot be expressed in words. When my aunt heard about this, her smiling eyebrows and eyes couldn't close. My aunt was more lively by nature, and suggested that night, let me bring a few maids to Luohuang to find him, and also give him a surprise, so that we could exchange feelings. Naturally, my parents agreed, because it seemed to us that the marriage was already close at hand......"

Thirteen years ago, outside the Phoenix City.

A carriage approached the city gate, and the young coachman pulled the reins, and the horse's pace slowed a little.

"Miss! Ahead is the falling phoenix! The chubby maid lifted the curtain of the car and said inside, "After a while, I will let Ah Lang ride a horse to find a better inn first, and the young lady is resting, and there is no hurry to find the son tomorrow." ”

Yue'er was still looking at the scenery, but when she said this, she chuckled and said, "Okay, you know more about these things than I do, you can just look at it." I'll take a nap, you go down first. ”

"Alas, all right!" The girl agreed and stepped back.

The fat maid's name is thrush, and she is the personal maid of Yue'er's mother, and she is not worried that her daughter will go out alone, so Mrs. has found a number of people who are used to accompanying her.

As soon as the carriage entered Luohuang, a small man on a horse ran over and called loudly: "Miss, I have found the inn, it is in the middle of the city, not far from here, let's go first?" ”

"Be quiet, young lady rest!" Thrush sat in front of the car and whispered. "Is the place you're looking for reliable?"

"Hehe, it's reliable!" The little guy scratched his head, "I've inquired, Luohuang's restaurant, it's the first one, and the locals say it's good, it's famous!" ”

"Yo, that's so good?" Thrush looked at him excitedly, and was a little suspicious, "What is such a good store called?" ”

"Seven mile incense!"
