Chapter 50: The Missing Qingxi Watchman
The weather is dry, beware of the candles.
In the dark night, a bright moon shone on the quiet river, and the watchman walked on tiptoe to the river, threw away the gongs and drums in his hands, removed the cloth bag on his waist, untied the bandage on his trousers, his legs trembled, and his mouth shh
"Grandma's, Lao Tzu didn't sleep in the middle of the night to remind this group of people that the weather is dry and dry, hey, let's go, I only have time to hold back my urine until now, cool!"
Feeling uncomfortable, the watchman looked at the reflection of the moon in the night, and suddenly the surface of the river seemed to tremble, and a blister came to the surface, followed by two, three, four, and more and more blisters poured out, like boiling water in an iron pot.
The watchman's eyes widened like brass bells, his deep pupils dilated rapidly, and a huge black shadow pounced on him in the moonlight.
The screams were covered by the loud sound of the falling waves, and it wasn't long before a leaf fell to the surface of the water, and the river was silent, and the breeze blew, as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a pair of gongs and drums, a cloth bag, and two stretch ropes on the riverbank......
β¦β¦
The early morning sun shines into the Qingzhu Garden, the door of the bamboo house is wide open, and the little white fox sits on the threshold with his chin in his hands, looking at the small courtyard surrounded by green bamboo and green water, looking depressed and a little doubtful of life.
Qinghe Prefecture's aura is thin, and the demons are rampant, although they are all low-level demon cultivators who melt into the body realm, but they are completely contrary to what he heard that there are immortals in the world, and there are no demons in Qinghe, even the Qinghe Immortal Li Qingluan, who has heard a little, is a demon cultivator, which simply shatters the three views.
"Did the fairy fox seniors wake up so early?"
Opening his eyes, Chen Xiaoyu was woken up by the sunlight shining into the room with the open door open, and looked lazily at the door.
The figure of the white fox resembles a kitten, with two pinches of hair on its head messy in the wind.
"Boy, it's right for you to let this fairy fox come here to cover you, otherwise you don't know how long you can live with your mortal physique without aura." The fairy fox sighed.
Chen Xiaoyu squeezed out the toothpaste and sat on the threshold with a glass of water, brushing his teeth and asking, "Why did the seniors say that?" I heard from my brothers and sisters here that it is the only state in the Kyushu Continent that does not have monsters, and there are three overlord spirit beasts in the depths of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range in the north, but the demon ape overlord was killed by Shizun during the Immortal Alliance Conference. β
Gurting and spitting out the mouthwash, Chen Xiaoyu looked at the little white fox, and just wanted to say that it was okay, but suddenly a "Senior Brother Chen" outside the courtyard interrupted him directly.
Wiping off the toothpaste foam from the corner of his mouth, Chen Xiaoyu stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" I don't eat breakfast! β
Breakfast, who called you for breakfast?
The disciple of Lingjian Peak who called the door muttered twice, took out a scroll from his arms, hurriedly walked into the courtyard, glanced at the white fox sitting on the threshold, handed the scroll up, and said: "I got the news this morning, in Qingxi Town outside Ping'an City, the old Liu Tou who beat the watch is missing, and the Lord of Ping'an City ordered someone to send a case scroll and hope that our Lingjian Peak will send someone to investigate the case." β
"Huh? Investigating the case? Isn't that Senior Brother Lu Lian? Looking for me to do it? β
Chen Xiaoyu waved his hand and exclaimed: "Won't it be for me to go with Senior Brother Lu Jian to investigate the case, doesn't Senior Zun know that he has a grudge against me......
The disciple scratched his face and replied, "Uh...... No, Shizun said that Senior Brother Lu went to investigate the case of the Valley Ruins Cave Heaven, so let Senior Brother Chen go. β
"Where's Lu Lian? Lu Lian went to check the relics of the Spirit Beast Valley, right, then call Xiao Yu to go, you can call Duan Li'er to join him. β
After imitating Li Qingluan's tone, the disciple coughed his throat and muttered suspiciously: "But it's quite strange, it seems that Shizun has been able to call Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Lu and Senior Sister Duan by name recently, this may be a blatant preference." β
Handing over the scroll, the messenger disciple pulled the corners of his mouth and said goodbye, and strode out of the courtyard gate of Qingzhu Garden.
Chen Xiaoyu, who took the scroll, opened it, and the lines of text were shocking to the young man.
"It's a scary profession to be a watchman!" Chen Xiaoyu sighed and sighed: "If the person is missing, in my era, maybe it will be a waist slapped, and the waist in the era of fantasy immortal cultivation should be worthless, it may be eaten by a wild beast, so if I go to investigate the case, won't I have to be eaten by a wild beast?" Ah, it could be a robber, but a robber can't beat it! β
After Chen Xiaoyu's analysis of his own words, he was just about to close the scroll, when suddenly a furry paw pressed his hand.
"It's not a beast or a robber, it's a demon, and it's a river demon."
I don't know when, the little white fox stood on Chen Xiaoyu's shoulder again, pointed to a line of text on the scroll case file, and explained: "This file says, 'Only a pair of gongs and drums and the cloth bag they carried were found, and all of these objects showed no traces of damage, except for a willow tree on the bank of the river that fell', if this is a beast, then when a beast pounces on you, will you have time to untie the cloth bag you carry with you?" If it is a robber, the most valuable thing on this beating person should be the gong and drum, if you are a robber, will you keep this gong and drum cloth bag? β
Without any flawless analysis, the fairy fox boasted contentedly: "Boy, learn more from the fairy fox, and see things in two." Since this old Liu Tou is a watchman, the fact that the people in Qingxi Town did not find anything strange last night means that he disappeared after the change, so it can be seen that the old Liu Tou who disappeared by the river must have met a river demon and swallowed him in one bite, so there is no trace of superfluity, but if he knocks down a willow tree, it is obviously a big guy. β
Hearing the nodding again and again, Chen Xiaoyu became even more frightened.
It is said that there are no monsters in Qinghe, and it seems that it is a means to deceive innocent people!
"Then senior, let's not go, you said that you are a big guy, I'm afraid that your small body and my skinny bones are not the opponents of the big river demon, one bite and one terrible batch!" Chen Xiaoyu gasped and said silently.
"That's not good, this fairy fox likes to hunt demons and slay demons!"
The fairy fox, who was already unhappy because Qinghe Prefecture was full of monsters, punched Chen Xiaoyu in the back of the head, and he was flexible when he was young, and he lowered his head to dodge.

The space ring attached to the heart, the mobile phone screen suddenly flashed, and the reward plug-in for completing the third task that had been delayed for a long time finally arrived.
"Alas, it seems that I can't hide from ......"
The little white fox Til punched directly, and immediately after, the fourth mission appeared on the screen of the mobile phone.
Chen Zhouzhou's constantly flickering and beating avatar sent a sentence: "Dear hero, Zhouzhou misses you so much!" Ahem, the fifth mission, kill the river demon! I wish you the pride of the world and slash the demons with a sword! β
