Leng Yueming thought for a long time before he suddenly said: "Xu Ran, you immediately go to the Demon Clearing Cave alone now, and kill him quickly!" ”

However, in the face of this sudden order, Xu Ran did not have any doubtful expression on his face, just said "yes", and hurriedly left Leng Yueming's study, and hurriedly walked in the direction of the back mountain.

After Xu Ran left, under the dim light in the study, Leng Yueming was left alone and waited quietly.

He sat down weakly on the sandalwood chair, banged his head with one hand, and lamented again and again, and then regained his quiet, but his face inexplicably gave birth to an expression of great sadness, and he was speechless.

At the same time, Jiao Niang just pretended that she was going to sleep from the beginning, but in fact she was just waiting for confirmation that Leng Yueming and Xu Ran were leaving.

After she asked Cao'er to put out the light, she kept an eye on the movement outside.

After making sure they were leaving, Jiao Niang softly touched the door. She patted the grass on the vigil at the door.

But the grass was startled: "Madam! How did you get up? Something shouts to me, don't freeze yourself! ”

Jiao Niang made a "shhh You go to the Demon Cave right now, take my child out of there, and then send him to the Liu family in the eastern corner of the city under the mountain overnight, which is my brother-in-law's house, you should know him, just tell them to take this child and not make a public announcement. I'll find a way to put him somewhere safer in a few days! ”

She said nervously, took out the jade pendant she was carrying, and handed it into Cao'er's hand.

"Madame, do you really want to do this? You have to think about it carefully, if this is in case the owner knows, you ......" Cao'er didn't expect that Jiao Niang had already planned all the plans in her heart, and it seemed that she was ready to give up everything to save the child's life.

It's just that Cao'er has seen Leng Yueming and Jiao Niang so loving for so many years, and she really feels that Jiao Niang's move is not worth it.

"Cao'er, you're still young, you don't understand. You just do what I say. Although Jiao Niang also understood what her move meant, she obviously wanted to prepare a way to go to the dark.

As soon as Cao'er saw Jiao Niang's expression, she knew that no matter who said it, she couldn't change the decision she made, so she had to follow her instructions with a frustrated face.

Just as Cao'er was about to leave, Jiao Niang looked at Cao'er with teary eyes: "Thank you!" Thank you! Thank you! She seemed to feel that at this moment, no matter how many words of thanks she said, it was not enough to express her gratitude to Cao'er.

Cao'er's heart was also full of mixed feelings, and she just silently glanced back at Jiao Niang, waved her hand, and asked her to hurry back to the house.

Jiao Niang did follow Cao'er's meaning, and immediately went back to the room and lay back on the bed, but she couldn't sleep, her brows were deeply locked, and she was helpless and had to pray silently to God in her heart: "God, please let Cao'er reach the Clear Demon Cave first, please!" Please! ”

In fact, when Leng Yueming promised Jiao Niang to send the child to the Clear Demon Cave, Jiao Niang had already guessed that it might just be a delaying tactic in his heart.

When she tentatively asked to only put the child in the Clear Demon Cave for one day, Leng Yueming actually agreed easily, and Jiao Niang was even more sure of Leng Yueming's thoughts, guessing that he would secretly send Xu Ran to assassinate the child, so she was so flustered and immediately sought Cao'er's help.

But Xu Ran, who was sent by Leng Yueming, still came to the Clear Demon Cave first. Although the cave was dark, Xu Ran just pointed a few points to the cave wall with his hand, and a lot of bright light appeared, instantly illuminating the entire Clear Demon Cave.

It's a pity that the strange thing is that Xu Ran searched for a long time in the Clear Demon Cave but only found the red swaddling clothes that originally wrapped the child.

But there was only a small piece of rag left, but the pattern on the rag was still recognizable to Xu Ran at a glance, and it was stained with blood.

Xu Ran looked at the swaddling clothes in his hand in a daze, and muttered to himself: "This child was actually taken away by the beast so quickly?" ”

Even though he couldn't believe how fast the beasts were scavenging for food, the signs before him indicated that the child must indeed be dead.

So, Xu Ran took the rag in his hand and returned to the villa.

The grass at the other end carefully observed the surrounding situation lightly, and relied on his own caution to successfully avoid the crisis of almost colliding with the patrol disciple several times.

In the blink of an eye, she came to the back mountain again, but the roar of the wild wolf echoed in the mountain from time to time in the middle of the night, which inevitably made Cao'er a little scared.

She had no choice but to run to the Clear Demon Cave as fast as she could, but she didn't have the same mana as Xu Ran, so she could only clumsily rely on her hand and touch the cave wall slowly.

However, although Cao'er had searched the entire Demon Clearing Cave, she only found the bones of the dead who almost scared her half to death.

Cao'er found nothing, so she had to return to the entrance of the cave dejectedly, and looked at the Clear Demon Cave stupidly: "How can I explain this to Mrs., this little young master has only been put aside for so long, why is it gone?" ”

"Woooooo Just as the grass was distracted, a few wolf howls sounded in the mountains, and then, in a bush not far away, she actually saw a pair of eyes that faintly glowed green like beasts.

This made Cao'er's face pale with fright, and he ran to the villa in a panic with an "ah".

"The little girl is really just a little girl, so it's scary!" The white-robed old man from before was holding a child in his arms and whispered to himself. He walked out of the half-human-tall bushes again, and the green light in his eyes gradually disappeared.

It turned out that he didn't leave, but stayed lurking here!

The old man teased the child in his arms with his fingers, put away his laughing expression again, and suddenly became serious: "The excitement here is over, let's go home!" ”

After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared in front of the Clear Demon Cave again.

There was a cliff at the eastern end of the back mountain of Leng's Villa, where the white-robed old man appeared, and the edge of this cliff was originally empty.

But after the old man walked three Big Dipper steps on the fixed position, a mirage suddenly appeared.

The white-robed old man's body slowly became a little ethereal, and he began to repeat in his mouth: "The east wind rises, and the east wind sends me into the foggy mountains." The east wind rises, and the east wind sends me into the foggy mountains. ”

At this moment, a gust of east wind suddenly blew on the edge of the cliff, and the white-robed old man seemed to become as light as tissue paper, drifting lightly with the wind to the high mountain that appeared in the mirage illusion that appeared on the edge of the cliff.

In an instant, the mirage that had only appeared for a long time disappeared in an instant.

The mountain that the old man entered has always been a mysterious existence, and it has caused riots among the disciples of the Leng Clan Villa many times.

Because he was seen by some disciples of the mountain villa more than once, but no one could really enter it, and at first, some brave disciples tried to enter this seemingly illusory mountain to find out, but they all accidentally fell to their deaths.

Since then, everyone has gradually felt that it is just an illusion of light, and they all call it Kageyama, and no one is so ignorant that a moth can put out a fire.

However, this white-robed old man could easily enter this wonderful deep mountain, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary old man.

......

A gust of wind drifted by, Xu Ran returned to Leng Yueming's study, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Back to the master, I'm afraid that the apprentice is still a step late, and when the apprentice arrives at the Clear Demon Cave, there will be no trace of the child, and when I look up and down the cave, I only see this rag used to make swaddling clothes!" I'm afraid that kid is ......."

Xu Ran said, and handed the blood-stained cloth in his hand to Leng Yueming's hand.

Leng Yueming took the rag and didn't even speak, just stared at the cloth stupidly for a long time.

"Okay, you've worked hard today, hurry up and go down and rest early!" After a long silence, Leng Yueming squeezed the words out of his mouth.

Xu Ran quietly glanced at Leng Yueming, and could only sigh lightly in his heart, although he felt a little sorry for his master, he could only leave directly.

It didn't take long for Cao'er to return to Jiao Niang's bedroom safely, thinking that she would tell her the bad news the next day.

But Jiao Niang never fell asleep, and as soon as she heard a little movement outside the door, she hurriedly shouted outside: "Cao'er, Cao'er, are you there?" Are you back? ”

When Cao'er heard Jiao Niang's call, she felt uneasy. "Husband, madam, why haven't you slept yet?"

The smart Jiao Niang suddenly felt that something was unusual, and her tone became anxious: "Cao'er, is something wrong?" ”

Cao'er lowered her head, and didn't dare to look directly into Jiao Niang's eyes, and spoke like a mosquito: "Madam, that child is afraid, afraid that he has been taken away by a wild beast, and when I arrived there, I didn't find the child at all." ”

"No, it can't be! How could it be taken by a wild beast! As soon as Jiao Niang heard Cao'er's words, she suddenly became excited, she shook her head vigorously, and frequently shouted that it was impossible.

Cao'er didn't understand the meaning of Jiao Niang's words, and she didn't dare to ask more, but she was startled by Jiao Niang who rushed to her.

Jiao Niang just grabbed Cao'er's shoulder and wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped talking, and then a strange smile appeared on her face, and tears gleamed in her eyes: "Okay, good! I know, you're still one step ahead, you're still one step ahead! How could my child be taken by wild beasts, how could it be? Who else but you? ”

Cao'er was confused while listening, but she didn't seem to be able to do anything except accompany Jiao Niang like this.

After Jiao Niang finished saying something inexplicable, she began to become speechless again, and lay back on the bed by herself, closing a pair of eyes that suddenly became a little cold.
