Ah Gu was covered with his mouth, leaving only two wide-eyed eyes outside.

The saint glared at him and gave him a "hurry up" look.

As soon as he walked out of that town again, Ah Gu returned to his soul, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Sister, what did you just say?

The saint looked behind her vigilantly to make sure that no one was following, and then asked quietly, "Do you know why I turned back to look?"

"Why?" said Agu, puzzled.

"As soon as we entered the town, there was no sound of chickens and ducks, and I was a little suspicious. Have you ever noticed that the owner of the tea shop just now...... He hasn't spoken since he went to prepare the bread and soup?"

Ah Gu thought about it, it was indeed the case.

The shopkeeper began to talk a lot, and since the bread and soup were served, he had not spoken, and all gestures were used instead.

Ah Advisor said: "Sister, do you suspect that the shopkeeper is a snake demon who has not completely transformed into a human form, only in human form, and cannot speak like a human being?"

"You are not stupid," said the saint, "but I suspect that when we first entered the shop, the shopkeeper was still a man...... Later, he was killed by a demon. ”

"What?"

"Dried orange tea. The shopkeeper may have been killed because of that bowl of dried orange tea," the saint explained, "and if you are the shopkeeper, and the dried oranges are so sour, why would you still put them in the tea for the guests to drink?"

Only then did Ah Gu understand: "Sister...... You mean, the owner of the dried orange tea is asking us for help?"

The saint nodded: "Well, it should be so." ”

"This ...... I'll go back and have a look!" Ah Gu was about to run back, but was stopped by the holy woman.

"Have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?"

Ah Gu didn't say anything.

The saint grabbed his arm, quickened her pace, and continued, "Go quickly, or you won't be able to get out!"

Ah Gu also looked back, and the holy woman dragged him out of the mile before letting go of her hand.

Ah Gu asked in a trembling voice: "Will the two people who are just resting in that tea shop die?"

"I don't know," the saint sighed and whispered, "those demons didn't embarrass us just now, and they might have let those two people go." ”

"Why do those Flame Snake Demon Clans want to lurk in such a small town?"

The saint shook her head: "I don't know, but the demon clan has been so close to Bian Du, from here to Yanqi in the northwest, there must be more than one such town on the way." ”

Ah Gu heard this, and was silent for a moment.

The capital of the Great Zhao Kingdom has been moved from the north to the south of Biandu, and the area has been reduced by more than half. And after years of internal and external wars, the people who survived were not even satisfied with this half of the area.

The wolf demon and the snake demon were originally just legends in the mortal world of the prosperous era, and later there were occasional sporadic demon clans, which were also destroyed by the Fang Shi masters.

But now the number of demons has increased dramatically, and it seems that there is a tendency to divide the world, and they are coming to Bian Du.

The young man repeatedly asked about the demon clan, which made the holy woman feel a little upset.

She had planned to sacrifice him on this trip, to offer the Canglang Alliance, and to exchange for the Fifth World Dan for the Sixuan Sect. And she is not a person who kills people without blinking, she always feels a little uncomfortable along the way.

The saint said in her heart: "I haven't thought about Xuantai for a few months, and I never thought that the situation outside has been so critical. The sect leader is good at the method of catching demons, and he needs to deceive the fifth Shidan from the king of Nanliang as soon as possible to cure the sect leader's illness. ”

Seeing her worried, Ah Gu took out the packet of candied fruit from his arms just now.

"Sister, eat one, sweet. Ah Gu laughed.

The saint barely squeezed out a smile, took the candied fruit in his hand, and ate it.

"Perhaps, in the past two days, I can come up with a way to achieve both, which can save Ah Gu and prevent him from being sent to death. The holy woman looked at Ah Gu and thought to herself.

After another half a day, it was almost dusk.

There were almost no people on the road, and seeing that they couldn't reach Bian Du today, the two of them were thinking about finding a place to rest on the road, and then they would go for one night.

From a distance, I saw that there seemed to be a few farmers in front of me, and there was faint smoke wafting out. The Holy Maiden and Ah Gu exchanged glances, and walked lightly towards the farmers.

After the incident of the demon in the town during the day, now when I see a place with people, I can't be careless.

When they got closer, they saw that there was nothing abnormal about the farmers, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.

When I walked up to a farmer who looked spacious and was smoking a cigarette, I was about to knock on the door when I heard the cry of a young woman coming from inside the door.

Although she couldn't hear it clearly, she could vaguely hear that the woman was crying because of the marriage. While sobbing, he said something like "I'm sorry for the second elder" and "one is dead".

"Forget it," the holy maiden pulled Ah Gu back a few steps and said in a low voice, "Let's go ask other families." ”

The two were about to leave, when suddenly a woman in the door of the house burst out of the door, crying, and was about to jump to the well outside the house.

"No!" the holy woman turned over and jumped over the well, and her left foot was kicked by the wheel of the well, and her right foot was hooked around the woman's waist.

This hook seemed to be extremely powerful, but when it touched the woman's waist, the saint had already secretly unloaded nine points of strength. Otherwise, the woman would have been injured if she hadn't jumped into the well and drowned.

Seeing that their daughter was fine, the male and female owners of the farmer hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you fairy! Thank you fairy!"

Seeing this, the saint hurriedly helped the second elder up: "Don't do this big gift, just call me girl." How can people in the rivers and lakes see death and not be saved?"

I looked at the farmer's daughter who was crying next to her, and was in shock. Seeing that she was born quite beautifully, she should be very gentle and lovely on weekdays.

The saint asked, "Dare to ask why this sister is looking for a short-sightedness, but she is being bullied?"

But the woman bowed her head and did not answer, and sobbed and sobbed, unable to suppress her crying.

Her father glanced at his daughter, his old face was dark, and a look of guilt appeared.

At this time, her mother was still holding a broken wooden spoon for cooking rice, and she also looked at her daughter with pity.

After a long time, the head of the household said, "Thank you, girl, but I'm afraid the girl can't help in this matter." ”

"Why?" asked the holy woman.

"Girl, this son, if you don't dislike it, you can go into the house and say. The eldest lady greeted.

And they went in, and the woman went into the house with her.

The head of the household then said:

"The little girl Ying'er was unfortunately taken by the demon, and ten days later, she was going to be taken away.

As long as the demon treats the woman in the boudoir, if she is engaged or married, she will be spared.

Ying'er is the same age as the second son of the Lu family in the neighboring village, although the Lu family is surrounded by walls, it is better than Ying'er being committed to a demon.

We found a matchmaker to talk about matchmaking, but ......"

The saint hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The head of the household said: "Then the Lu family didn't save them when they saw death, just because their surname was Lu and our surname was Zhang, so they asked us for five horses of silk silk on the grounds that the Lu family was high, so as to fill the property." But we can't even open the pot, where is the dowry money......"

"Ridiculous!" the holy woman said, "Even if the surname Lu is a prominent family, since their family is surrounded by walls, it can be seen that they have nothing to do with those successive ministers, but only have their surnames." ”

Hearing this, the daughter of the family sobbed again.

The saint thought for a moment and took out a string of copper coins from her bosom. When the Chen family saw this string of money, their eyes straightened.

"Five horses of silk, just a dream. But with this string of copper coins, the Lu family will definitely agree to marry Ying'er. So saying, the saint placed the copper coin on the table.

The Chen family knelt down one after another, regarded the saint as a god, and kowtowed again and again.

The saint said in her heart: "This troubled world is really absurd, even the mountain village farmers in the wilderness can compare their surnames, and regard the family as more important than human life." ”

That night, the saint and Ah Gu rested at Chen's house, and only continued to leave the next day.

The next day, when it was almost dusk, I finally arrived at the city of Bian.

It is unimaginable that the people outside the city are not happy, but the city is quite prosperous.

A Qinghuan River, passing through the city, not only is there a forest of restaurants and shops, but also pedestrians are dressed in a luxurious style. There are many people with clear breeze and wide sleeves, boasting and talking.

Ah Gu asked the holy maiden to stay in an inn in the city first, and he himself needed to meet with the person on Concubine Rou's side.

The saint told Ah Gu: "Be careful, don't reveal my identity by half." ”

Ah Gu said: "Don't worry, I don't want others to know my sister." ”

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave the bag of candied fruit to the saint.
