Chapter 36: Another Encounter with a Thief
Mr. Kong hugged Hu Siniang and stared at the half-burned house in a daze, charred and tattered. What flowers and grasses, they have also been trampled and lost their original appearance.
The plain but warm scene of the past is gone, and Hu Siniang sighed, "We, homeless." ”
"Let's take this opportunity to leave Datong Town. Mr. Kong lowered his eyes and whispered comfortingly.
Zhou Xuanqing patted the dust on his knees, and said, "It's almost dark, it's better to find an inn to stay overnight, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”
None of the people present objected, so they set off.
Half an hour later, inside the inn.
Zhou Xuanqing changed into a plain long shirt and sat down facing the window with a chair. The head of the bundled hair leaned back, and he raised his legs and put them on the edge of the window, and watched the sky go dark in boredom, and his eyes sank again and again.
The candle light was faintly lit, and there was a floating light on the ground. Zhou Xuanqing got up and came over, and the light came into his eyes little by little.
"Haven't slept yet?" someone in the cold buting room made a sound, startling Zhou Xuanqing who was in a daze for a moment.
"Hou Ye?" Zhou Xuanqing, who had recovered, couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Can Hou Ye make a noise when he walks?" No matter how you say it, there is a difference between men and women, so it's not too much to knock on the door." ”
"Knocked. Liu Yanshu's face didn't matter, if he couldn't hear it, it had nothing to do with me.
If the dignified town and the country are spoken, it is naturally unreasonable to account for three points.
"This time down the mountain, the trail chief has worked hard. ”
"No hard work, no hard work. "What does this Hou Ye want to do?" Zhou Xuanqing replied politely, and he inevitably had doubts in his heart, so he had to be on guard.
Liu Yanshu looked at the bean on the desk and lit the candle flame, calm and calm, and said in a clear voice: "That demon monarch escaped quickly today, but he found Hu Siniang as soon as he got off the mountain, and he estimated that he was planning to find the little demon in his hand." I just don't know what kind of wind and waves will turn over and bring disaster to the world. ”
Hearing him say this, Zhou Xuanqing frowned slightly. But he quickly skipped his expression and said with a smile: "Master Hou is worried about the world, and Xiaodao admires and admires." ”
"Catching demons is the duty of Taoists, how can I say that the demon monarch also escaped in our Yicheng Palace. If he comes out to relax, we should play with him, if he is really as rumored to be in trouble in the world, Xiaodao should try his best to catch demons. ”
The messenger came inexplicably, and now I can't guess who did it. The mystery is waiting to be solved.
"Take me, I'll go too!"
There was a 'meow' at the door, and there was a black shadow squatting, which was Mr. Kong's spotted cat.
The spotted cat was about to enter the room, and Liu Yanshu slammed his fingers on the desk twice.
There was a bang, a strong wind, and two more black shadows flashed at the threshold.
The spotted cat was instantly lifted up by Lu Shiyi with a layer of skin on the back of his neck, "Why don't you accompany your master and come to this house to eavesdrop?"
This cat is not the only one who runs over for no reason and out of time. Zhou Xuanqing looked around speechlessly: The moonlight is so good this year?
"Put me down!
The spotted cat struggled in mid-air, intending to open its four paws to scratch, "I'm going to follow you to find the Demon Monarch so that I can get Siniang's Neidan back." ”
When they heard this, their faces were different. Taking advantage of the inattention, the spotted cat stabbed and jumped in front of Zhou Xuanqing after breaking free.
"I've heard old cats say that shemales have been in love since ancient times, but the ending is not very good. Siniang has no demon pill, she must soon be old and decrepit, especially after giving birth to a half-human and half-demon child, without any protective things, she will definitely have a very difficult time. ”
"Hahaha、、、 interesting. Lu Shiyi crossed his arms and smiled exaggeratedly, and slightly controlled his emotions and said: "You are a stupid cat with short legs and a fat waist, do you really think you have the ability to become a good man?" Wait for dawn to accompany your two masters on the road, find a secluded place to live this life peacefully. ”
The spotted cat licked the wound on her stomach, "Do you know why we cats hate dogs?
“。。。 Zhou Xuanqing held back a smile.
Mo Huaigu shook his head and looked out the window.
Even Liu Yanshu, who is calm and calm, has seen the world, also hooks his lips and smiles: although he is an annoying little thing, he is more powerful than people when he speaks.
Lu Shiyi was speechless when he was choked by a cat, and his anger choked in his throat for a while. Tumbling for a moment, he said disdainfully: "You are so smart that you are almost up to heaven." ”
Zhou Xuanqing snickered enough, and stood up to make a round, "Okay, your nose is comparable to my spirit, if you smell Hu Siniang's Neidan and go, we can meet the demon monarch." ”
The next day, they were finally at the gate of the small city and ready to part ways.
Mr. Kong planned to take Hu Siniang to the north, while Zhou Xuanqing and the others followed the spotted cat out of the city and headed south.
The pedestrians and cars on the official road were a little crowded, and when Zhou Xuanqing walked slowly, he was suddenly hit by someone passing by.
Well?
The other party lowered his head, his cheeks were covered a little by a long hairband, and he said vaguely, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." ”
Zhou Xuanqing nodded and snorted lightly. What a coincidence!
The other party saw that she didn't mean to be embarrassed, and planned to leave--
Zhou Xuanqing pinched his chin and snorted, so he pretended to say: "Brother Tai stay one step slowly, Xiaodao is a person who can read faces." I wonder if Brother Tai is in a hurry to go home, there is a blind old mother at home?"
The man seemed to be thin, raised his face and looked at his age, and looked at Zhou Xuanqing suspiciously: "Little Daogu, how can you see it?"
"Brother Tai, how many times have you done it in this realm? The so-called evil has evil retribution, but you have to be careful. ”
The man blinked his eyelids twice, and his face turned blue. It seems that the theft was exposed. said with a trembling voice, "You little Taoist aunt is a fool, catch thieves and take stolen goods, you don't want to wronged me!"
"Is this a self-confession? Do you still need me to search my body myself?" Zhou Xuanqing picked up the spotted cat and threw a look at Lu Shiyi and Mo Huaigu.
It's a pity that the two demons deliberately pretended to turn a blind eye. Seeing that the thief was about to flee, Zhou Xuanqing reluctantly took out a yellow paper talisman and pasted it behind the other party's back.
"Definitely. ”
The thief was so stunned that he couldn't move, and kept his legs backwards. On the road where people and cars come and go, it looks particularly silly.
Liu Yanshu stood on the side and hugged his arms, his eyes took advantage of the situation, and smiled at Zhou Xuanqing. "Is this the thief who stole your money?"
Isn't it him, and he stole your silver, Master Hou!
Zhou Xuanqing poked the thief's stiff body with his probing hand, and watched the person fall straight forward. His face was embarrassed: Ouch, hey, didn't you get the wrong rune paper?
Someone on the avenue immediately pointed at her and shouted, "Look, this Dao Gu has beaten someone to death on the street!"
Huh, don't be so unlucky.
