Chapter 80: The Demon Hunter
In order to facilitate the inquiry, Ye Xiu went straight to the most lively teahouse in the city-Fuyuan Zhai, and after finding a table with the best line of sight on the second floor and sitting down, Ye Xiu directly ordered a pot of good tea, a plate of pregnant spirit beans, and while drinking tea and tasting beans, he leisurely looked at the lively street downstairs outside the window.
Of course, this is just on the surface, in fact, Ye Xiu has already secretly released his divine sense, and he has heard the conversations of everyone in the restaurant.
Among them, sitting in the corner of the second floor, a few people who were talking attracted Ye Xiu's attention, these were four monks from the Taoist realm, all dressed in the same color Taoist robes and wearing soft armor, looking like the demon hunters who were in the vicinity.
The so-called demon hunter is a common profession in the cultivation world, and the cultivators do not have the support of the sect and the family, of course, they also need to make a living, their professions are varied, the most common of which is the demon hunter, the Dan master, the talisman master, and the refiner and so on...
And the most common of these is the demon hunter, because the threshold for the demon hunter is the lowest, as long as there is a cultivation that can kill the demon clan, you can become a demon hunter, and in fact, the work that the demon hunter takes on weekdays is not all about hunting demon beasts, and sometimes he will take on some temporary hired tasks for the spirit stone.
These people are in the business of adding blood to the knife on weekdays, so their actual combat effectiveness is higher than that of some ordinary sect disciples, plus these people come into contact with a lot of people in all shapes and shapes, so their news is also extremely well-informed.
At this time, only one of the four thin men said:
"Hey, have you heard about it, brothers? Lei Laosi, who took over the Yao family's mission a few days ago, is dead, this is the fourth wave! This Yao family doesn't know what mission has been released, it is so evil!"
"Yes, I also heard about Lei Laosi and them, I heard that the corpse was found in the barren mountains outside the city, and when they were found, the essence and blood of those people were sucked dry, and only a pair of skin and bones remained, but it was miserable!"
The one who spoke was the youngest monk of the four, this person was very young, quite different from the other three, he should be an apprentice of one of them, he was not very bold, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but shudder.
The fat monk among the four said disdainfully:
"Look at you kid, we are a demon hunter, what scene have you never seen? A few corpses will scare you into this bear, and there is no point in it!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his fat palm and patted the young monk in front of him.
But the bearded monk who had not spoken on the side raised his hand to stop him:
"Okay! The second, the third and the fourth are not unreasonable, what is the horror of the Yao family's mission, we have been away from the Yao family recently, don't lose your life because of a small loss. ”
After Ye Xiu listened to the words of a few people, he couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart that the death method of Lei Laosi described by those demon hunters was definitely an evil cultivator, so the Yao family should have some kind of unknown relationship with this Ten Thousand Corpses Palace, and he was about to go to the Yao family to explore it next, but there was a sudden noise on the street outside the window.
Ye Xiu looked for prestige, but he saw a few young people dressed as children of the family, surrounding a petite girl in the middle, and behind the girl, there were two people who looked like guards who were falling to the ground**, obviously invincible to those sons of the family, before they were knocked to the ground.
At this time, among the children of several families, a young man in white led by him smiled obscenely:
"Yao Xiaodi, as long as you promise to accompany my son for one night today, even if you offended me just now, I will not blame you for the past. ”
The rest of the sons also chimed in:
"Yes, yes, but after Brother Tian, after you are comfortable, don't forget your brothers!"
"Who's going to accompany you shameless guys, blame the two of them for being useless, Miss Ben fought with you today!"
Yao Xiaodi on the opposite side is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, weird-looking little girl, angry, very playful and cute, at this time after hearing the foul language of several people, he was immediately angry and his face turned red, and he rushed towards Tian Gongzi who was headed by him angrily.
It's just that her cultivation is only in the first-grade Taoist realm, and although Tian Gongzi on the opposite side has been hollowed out by wine all day long, he is close to thirty years old, and his cultivation has reached the second-grade Taoist realm, which is naturally not something that Yao Xiaodi, a little girl, can deal with.
Yao Xiaodi was grabbed by the other party with just one move, and Tian Gongzi seemed to be deliberately humiliating Yao Xiaodi, grabbing her wrist with great force, the latter immediately screamed in pain, but the red little face tried his best to endure it and not let his tears flow out.
Tian Gongzi saw that he had a successful move, and couldn't help but feel proud, that is, he stretched out his other hand, wanting to pinch Yao Xiaodi's key parts, but at the moment when his hand was about to touch Yao Xiaodi, a chopstick suddenly shot out from upstairs, turned into a streamer, and inserted it into his outstretched palm impartially.
And then, before Tian Gongzi could scream, another chopstick shot his other hand impartially, and he immediately let go of Yao Xiaodi's wrist in pain.
Yao Xiaodi is also clever, and the moment his wrist regains his freedom, he immediately jumped behind him and fled away from Tian Gongzi, who was wailing.
And the boys beside him reacted at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Tian Gongzi pull out the chopsticks, and after taking a healing pill, the blood on Tian Gongzi's hands barely stopped.
Of course, the person who just shot out the chopsticks is naturally Ye Xiu, this kind of bullying of men and women, he hates it the most, and he usually doesn't know it, but when he meets him at this time, how can he not care about it.
However, to Ye Xiu's surprise, that Tian Gongzi surprisingly did not go crazy on the spot, but glanced at himself coldly with a vicious look, and then walked away with a few sons.
This made Ye Xiugao look at him a little, but he didn't expect that a pompous person still knew forbearance, but with Ye Xiu's cultivation, he naturally wouldn't worry about his revenge, and the only thing he had to worry about in the entire Baiyun City was the ghost Taoist who was hiding in the shadows.
However, Tian Gongzi and they didn't find Ye Xiu, it doesn't mean that others won't find Ye Xiu, I saw Yao Xiaodi recognize it at a glance, it was Ye Xiu who threw chopsticks to save him just now!
Suddenly, in her big watery eyes, there were countless little stars, and regardless of the two guards who were still wailing on the ground, they jumped from the street, directly through the window to the second floor of the teahouse, sat down in front of Ye Xiu's table, and looked at him with a smile.
Ye Xiu just made a move, but he just did it rashly, and he came to Baiyun City only to track down the affairs of the ghost Dao people, so he naturally ignored Yao Xiaodi, and just lowered his head and continued to drink tea.
Yao Xiaodi didn't care about this, took off a storage ring from his left hand, and slapped it on the table in front of Ye Xiu with a "snap", deliberately pretending to be an eldest sister and said:
"You are very good! Miss Ben likes you very much, and I will follow Miss Ben in the future to ensure that you eat and drink spicy food!"
As he spoke, he was proud of his decision, and muttered to himself:
"With such a powerful thug, I don't want to collect taxes from whoever I want to clean up, I see who dares to mess with me, hehe!"
Ye Xiu listened to her muttering, and almost didn't squirt out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, and squirted out with a "poof"! I originally thought that the little girl in front of her was a poor victim, but I didn't expect it to be a real troublemaker, looking at her eccentric appearance, Ye Xiu even doubted that he had wronged Tian Gongzi and his group just now, could it be that this little girl caused trouble first?
However, Ye Xiu naturally didn't bother with this little girl, and was about to continue to bow his head to drink tea, but the two people limped downstairs, and they were the two guards who had just been knocked to the ground.
When the two of them saw the appearance of their young lady at this time, they didn't know this little ancestor, and they didn't know what kind of ghost idea they came up with, worried that they would accidentally anger the mysterious master in front of them, so they hurriedly bowed down and said:
"This senior, thank you for your help just now, we are from the Yao family, this is the eldest lady of my Yao family, Miss She is still childlike, if there is anything wrong with her words, I hope that my predecessor Haihan. ”
Originally, Yao Xiaodi was secretly proud of his wise decision, but he was suddenly interrupted by the two of them, and immediately jumped up from the chair, and shouted to the two of them with his waist inserted:
"Hey, you two are embarrassed to say that they are from my Yao family, and you can't even beat that Tian Gongzi, don't mess with me in the future!"
Then he turned his head to look in Ye Xiu's direction and continued to reproach the two:
"That's it, even dare to come up and stop me from accepting my little brother!"
As soon as the two of them heard that their little ancestor, they actually called the mysterious young man in front of them a little brother, and they couldn't help but have cold sweat on their foreheads, they knew Tian Gongzi's strength, and they shook it back with just a pair of chopsticks, which shows that the young man in front of them is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface!
The two of them were about to apologize again, but they heard something that almost made their jaws drop, and they only heard the young man say:
"Okay, then I'll be your temporary little brother for a while!"
Hearing that Ye Xiu agreed to his proposal, Yao Xiaodi was immediately overjoyed, and made several smug faces at the two guards from time to time.
Ye Xiu didn't care about this at all, the reason why he suddenly changed his mind just now and promised Yao Xiaodi was because he heard that Yao Xiaodi was the eldest lady of the Yao family, and he could just borrow her relationship to investigate the secrets of the Yao family.
