The Youthful Elegance Chapter 168 The Truth About the Ape Demon!
"Whew, it's finally done, I'm exhausted. I'd rather train hard for a day than do this kind of work, it's too much work. β
Leaving the barracks with the excerpted list, the three of them walked on the streets of Tianyu City, and Su Beifeng couldn't help but complain. At this time, it was getting late, and only a few lights were still on in the Heavenly Oracle City, and most of the people had already gone home to rest. It's not that it's late, it's just getting dark. It's just that this Heavenly Oracle City really doesn't seem to have any place to entertain people.
The three of them found an inn to live in, ate something casually, and then gathered in Su Lejing's room and began to plan how to find that person. A pot of tea, three people sat here, and began to look for details.
"The focus this time is this maid, no matter what she looks like, the ape demon is destined to be a character who is impossible to show up. For half a year, it is definitely not possible to eat or drink, and besides, if the ape demon has a big appetite, their expenses will definitely not be less. Then it is necessary for a person to go out frequently to buy food. Therefore, the only person who can go out is this maid. β
Su Beifeng analyzed like a think tank, copied the list for an afternoon, and finally gained something.
"However, there are really a lot of people who meet the requirements, and there are tens of thousands of people who have poured into Heavenly Oracle City in the past six months. Out of the middle, there are 300 households with one woman and another, and the number of single women is smaller, 200. There are as many as 500 people, which is not a small number. Do you really have to go door-to-door to eliminate it? When will this go?"
Yes, if there are only a dozen households, it is really good to check them one by one, but these five hundred households, when will they be investigated? Su Lejing was silent, this matter is not easy to do.
"There are even some single women who sell themselves directly to the land of fireworks, how can we find out?"
Su Beifeng frowned sadly, his own number was too small, and if he continued like this, he would undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack, and he would not be able to find any clues. Su Lejing looked at Su Yi, then looked at Su Beifeng, and decided on the plan.
"Tomorrow, we will find a way to find out the situation of these people on the list, especially the household registration of women outside, and mark them out, and then we will slowly investigate. You just need to ask what the other party is doing in the house, after all, the matter of a large number of rations cannot be hidden. β
Su Lejing made a decision on this matter, and the other two didn't have anything to say. Su Yi didn't glance at the whole process, not that he didn't want to speak, but this kind of brain-using thing, thinking about it is not his specialty, with Su Beifeng and Le Jing, he only needs to be responsible for the action.
The next day, the three of them split up and began to inquire about the people on the list.
Next to a rice shop, Su Lejing bought a lot of grains, and the lady who filled him with rice was full of smiles.
"Oh, this son, I won't tell you, our rice shop is the best rice shop in Tianyu City, not to mention anything else, you look at the crystal clear rice grains, it is simply clean, it can't be clean, it is definitely the latest rice this year. You know, even the City Lord's Mansion is also supplied by my family! I heard that eating this rice can prolong life, and the effect is extraordinary!"
The eldest lady is the owner of this rice line, and she is the only one who can handle the huge rice line, and she can handle it in an orderly manner without any chaos. Although the rice sold is not as exaggerated as it is said, it is also this year's new rice, and it is undoubtedly not shoddy.
Su Lejing smiled, he was already a handsome guy, this smile, coupled with that calm temperament, made the eldest lady smile from ear to ear.
"Auntie, I'll ask, the palace lady who often comes to your house, how is the family, I heard that her family is not rich, and she still supports this sick husband, which is very pitiful. β
When the eldest lady heard Su Lejing ask the palace lady, she said with a look of pity: "Who said no, they are all poor people! I moved to the city half a year ago, in order to take care of the sick seedling at home, I washed clothes for people every day, and all the money I earned was treated by the sick seedling." β
The eldest lady looked pity, and probably felt that this was a poor family, and she was sympathetic. Then looked at Su Lejing, and secretly thought that it would be nice if there was a daughter at home, so that he could introduce this handsome little brother.
"It's still the old man in my family who is good at serving, it's all minor diseases, and it can be cured with a little money, but it's a pity that the problem of drinking can't be changed, otherwise it would be better......."
As she spoke, the eldest lady talked about her own family, and this family, too, moved here half a year ago. The eldest mother's son died in the war three years ago, and the two did not want to move into the city, but the horse thieves outside the city became more and more rampant, so they had to move to the city for safety. Anyway, now he has no children and no daughters, but he lives freely.
It seems that this eldest lady's family is not the maid that the Elder of the Ethereal Sect is looking for. It's hard to do!
"Speaking of which, there are many people in this city, all of whom moved into the city and became city people because of horse thieves half a year ago. The most pitiful thing is the Qi Po at the gate of the city, it is really miserable. The family was almost dead, leaving only a young grandson who was burned. dragged his old body, selling tea and soup cakes every day, but it was difficult to survive. Our family is much better than hers. β
The tea shop at the gate of the city? Su Lejing still had the impression that the old woman did look old, and the vitality on her body had also become sunset, completely like an old man.
"Have you seen her grandson, auntie?"
Hearing Su Lejing ask this, the eldest lady was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a while, and then said with a pity on her face: "I saw that time has passed, but the little grandson was burned beyond recognition, except for a pair of eyeballs that are still lit, other places are really miserable." is such a lost villain, who has suffered since he was a child, and he doesn't know how long Qi Po can live. β
As she spoke, the eldest lady also drew a pen and used her hands to draw the size of the little grandson. Su Lejing frowned, this seems to be a bit interesting, why don't you let Su Yi go to investigate at night?
Su Lejing said goodbye to his aunt's rice shop and walked towards several other places, knocking on the side along the way to remove a lot of things. At this time, Su Beifeng and Su Yi were also doing the same thing, and the three of them were busy collecting materials, and they didn't know it, and they were secretly watching their every move.
In the evening, Su Yi and Su Beifeng returned to the inn with a tired face and reported to Su Lejing what they had learned today. According to the two of them, the names on the list can be crossed out nine. Many families are either sound or don't need much food, and after eliminating them one by one, only seven families still need to be investigated, and the number has shrunk sharply.
Su Lejing was still thinking about the words of Aunt Mi Xing during the day, and it seemed that there were a lot of doubts about this Qi Po.
"Su Yi, you go to the Qi Po to find out the situation now, and you must see clearly what Qi Po's grandson is. We'll talk about it when you get back. β
Su Yi received the order, set off immediately, and after summoning the shadow, he blended into it and quietly disappeared into the inn without alarming anyone. Only Su Lejing and Su Beifeng were left in the room, waiting for new news.
An hour has passed, Su Yi has not returned, and Su Lejing has a bad feeling in his heart. According to Su Yi's skills, if two ordinary people don't come back now, from here to Qi Po's address, it only takes half an hour to go back and forth, why haven't they come back yet?
"North wind! Let's go, Su Yi may have discovered the situation!"
As soon as the two of them were combined, they immediately rushed towards Qi Po's address, it was late at night, and there were no lights on the road, so the two of them moved forward in the dark. A quarter of an hour later, we arrived at the location. At this moment, the door of Qi Po's house was opened, and there were traces of a struggle inside. Su Lejing's face was cold, and he immediately took Su Beifeng to investigate and find Su Yi.
It was very wide, and he found the unconscious Su Yi in the far corner of the courtyard, Su Lejing stepped forward to check, Su Yi was not seriously injured, but some drugs that made Su Yi unconscious, and did not treat Su Yi as such.
Feeding Su Yi a pill, Su Yi immediately opened his eyes in a daze, and the moment he saw Su Lejing's ground, he opened his mouth and began to report the situation.
"Lejing, this is the house, that's right! When I came in to investigate, I was discovered, and after a moment of fighting with a tall ape demon, I fell asleep groggily. But it's safe to assume that this family is what we're looking for. β
According to what Su Yi said, Su Lejing pinched his fingers and counted the time, and said in a deep voice: "It should be too late to chase now, they should have escaped from the city gate at this time, let's go!"
After the three of them determined the target's whereabouts according to the clues they left, they immediately set off to follow them. Half an hour later, the three of them found traces of a fight on a hill, which was new!
"It seems that not only are we on the track, but a group of people are also coming. β
Su Lejing narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, that direction should be the direction in which the maid and the ape demon fled. But isn't this matter already handed over to the Jade Spirit Sect to deal with? How can anyone else come?
"Let's hurry up, I guess there's still someone ahead!"
Saying that, Su Lejing took the two of them to hurry again, and this time it didn't take long for him to hear the fierce fighting in front of him. Su Lejing and the three of them immediately walked towards the place where the fighting sounded.
"Hmph! It's just a demon beast, Fairy Qi is really affectionate, and he actually treats it as a human being?!
A female monk looked at a beautiful woman in fairy clothes on the opposite side viciously, and said viciously. Next to the woman was an ape demon, one man tall, carrying a long knife in his hand, and he was so vigorous that he blocked all the attacks sent by the friar.
The woman was in her early twenties, standing calmly and silently, until the ape demon on the side hurriedly roared: "Sister, do it quickly! If you don't do it, those people will come, and we won't be able to run away if we want to!"
When the ape demon spoke, his voice was still a little immature, and he was just an ape demon, and he was able to speak before becoming a monk of the Yuan Infant, which was already a great creation.
The woman didn't move yet, her eyes struggled a little, and finally sighed and said, "Xuanxuan, if you leave like this, I won't embarrass you, otherwise, you should also know my methods." β
After listening to the woman's words, the vicious woman not only had no intention of retreating, but laughed wildly and said coldly: "Let me go? Hmph! You don't look at your current situation, you are already a lost dog, and you still want to threaten me? Don't forget, you are no longer the Qi fairy favored by the ancestor! As long as I take you down, the ancestor will definitely be impressed with me at that time! It is not impossible for me to get rid of my status as a miscellaneous servant and become an official disciple of the sect!"
After talking for a long time, it was just for profit. The Yin Poison Woman only has a second-order foundation, and the Qi Fairy is indeed a third-order monk, plus there is an ape demon of the first order of the foundation to help, the Yin Poison Woman is not an opponent at all.
Su Lejing and the three of them hid in the woods on the side, not knowing what to do, to go out or not to go out. Su Lejing was waiting for the situation to change, and he estimated that according to the vicious woman, a group of people would arrive soon.
Seeing that the venomous woman Xuanxuan was still unrelenting, Fairy Qi was still ready to make a move, took out a clear water long sword, and went directly towards the door of the venomous woman. When the poisonous woman saw that this Qi fairy was really going to make a move, she was immediately shocked and avoided in a hurry. This Qi fairy is the ancestor's favorite maid, I don't know how many secret martial arts have been passed on to her secretly, even if the vicious woman is arrogant, she also knows that she can't withstand this Qi fairy, she can only use the words on her lips to disturb her mind and wait for the people behind her to arrive.
As soon as the ape demon saw that Fairy Qi had made a move, his eyes flashed with joy, and the knife in his hand also beckoned to the poisonous woman. For a while, the phenomenon of the poisonous woman survived, and it is estimated that if she holds on a few more moves, she will be beheaded.
At this moment, a loud voice came from a distance, causing the two women and the ape to stop.
"Stop. β
A middle-aged Dao Gu fell from the sky, glanced at the ape demon indifferently, and then looked at the venomous woman and the Qi fairy. At this time, the vicious woman's eyes showed joy, Fairy Qi's eyes were complicated and guilty, and the ape demon, with red eyes, seemed to have a common enmity with him, and his eyes were cracked.
"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, save me! The maid Qi disregards the rules of the sect and wants to kill the maid!"
The venomous woman was the first to speak, and after getting out of the crisis of death, she began to think of a way to drag Fairy Qi into the water! The middle-aged Dao Gu, who was called the Old Ancestor, glanced at the venomous woman with disgust, then ignored her, but walked up to Fairy Qi and said calmly, "Aren't you going to say something to the deity?"
Fairy Qi looked at the ancestor in front of him, his expression was complicated, and he said desolately: "Ancestor!"
"Hmph, do you still remember that the deity is the ancestor? You seem to have lost your mind by this beast's demagogy, do you really see the true face of this beast in front of you? You are looking back at the face of the beast!"
As he spoke, the ancestor pointed out and froze the ape demon, including the expression on its face and the resentment and resentment! Fairy Qi looked back and saw this scene, the ape demon's eyes were cracked, and his eyes were scarlet, like a beast that had lost its mind. There is no well-behaved and sensible in the past, and there is no cuteness when it was sweet and sweet.
"What you see is the true face of this beast! If it weren't for the deities coming, this beast would probably still be naΓ―ve, fooling you in his hands, and when one day, its strength will completely surpass you, and when it doesn't need you, you will be the rations of this beast. Are you still soft-hearted?"
Fairy Qi didn't seem to believe it, the tears in her eyes fell like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't cry!
Su Lejing and the three of them hid in the woods on the side, not knowing what to do, to go out or not to go out. Su Lejing was waiting for the situation to change, and he estimated that according to the vicious woman, a group of people would arrive soon.
