Jian Shaolin came to Xuanjing Hall with his elite in the evening.

Ji Jingyang was already waiting for him in the patio.

Although the two are the young masters of the two opposing yamen, they have not actually had any real entanglements. Yesterday, Jian Shaolin predicted that the baby was dead and made a decisive move, which made Ji Jingyang look at him with admiration. Therefore, the two do have some willingness to cooperate.

Jian Shaolin said to Ji Jingyang: "I have already laid enchantments in all corners of the capital, as long as that monster appears, we can quickly block it." ”

Ji Jingyang also said: "That thing's martial arts are too high, and it doesn't seem to be afraid of magic weapons, I have already asked Tianlongwei to deploy some elites to assist us." If we encounter it again tonight, we will go together, and we will never let it escape again. I'm afraid that after yesterday's battle, this thing will be lurking for a while. ”

Jian Shaolin shook his head and said; "I don't think so. It's been committing crimes for four days in a row, and I guess these babies have some special use for it. This spell can't be stopped in between, yes, and it will appear tonight. ”

At this time, Ji Cunyan suddenly walked out of the inner room with a smile, still holding a few pieces of drawing paper in his hand.

Jian Shaolin looked at Ji Cunyan and frowned.

When Ji Cunyan saw Qin Tianjian's people, he walked over and greeted Jian Shaolin: "Hello Lord Jian! ”

Jian Shaolin nodded at her, but said to Ji Jingyang: "That monster's martial arts are very good, your sister's three-legged cat's kung fu, do you still want to go into battle?" ”

Ji Cunyan pouted and said, "What, I'm not that bad, right?" By the way, Master Jane, look at these paintings. What do you think you are drawing? ”

After speaking, Ji Cunyan laid out the three paintings on the stone table.

Ji Jingyang held his forehead and said, "If you're fine, go eat a snack, or eat all the red dates that Uncle Thunder dried." ”

Jian Shaolin frowned and looked at the three paintings, and said, "This painting is a thing?" ”

Ji Cunyan sneered.

Jian Shaolin looked at Ji Jingyang again, and then replied, "Chicken feet?" ”

"Hahahaha...... I said! Everyone draws the same, and you still say that I draw poorly. Ji Cunyan said with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Ji also came out of the inner room and said, "Then how can it be the same?" I'm listening to you draw pictures, and you're listening to your brother drawing pictures. You belong to the second dealer, and it doesn't seem excusable for me to draw it. Ah, isn't this Lord Jane? I haven't seen you for many days, so don't come unharmed. ”

Jian Shaolin arched his hand to Zhang Ji and said, "Master Zhang, we meet again." ”

Ji Jingyang said to Jian Shaolin: "This is the hand of the monster we saw yesterday. ”

Jian Shaolin looked at Ji Jingyang with a strange expression, and then looked at Ji Cunyan and Zhang Ji.

Lei Qi saw that the preparations outside were perfect, so he wanted to come over and tell Ji Jingyang that he could act. Who knew that he saw Ji Jingyang, Ji Cunyan and Zhang Ji gathered around the stone table in the courtyard, watching Jian Shaolin paint.

Jian Shaolin put down the brush, unfolded the drawing paper slightly, and said, "Master Ji, look, is that what those beast claws look like?" ”

Ji Jingyang said: "Indeed, Master Jian's painting skills are very good, and the details are in place. ”

Lei Qi leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, Jian Shaolin seemed to be very good at drawing, and this pair of beast claws was exactly the same as the pair he saw last night, and they had already drawn a nine-point image and were very charming.

Ji Cunyan said: "Uh, it looks so terrible......"

Jian Shaolin and Ji Jingyang said to Ji Cun very tacitly: "So you don't go at night." ”

Ji Cunyan looked at them with a smile and said, "Why do you two say the same thing?" But don't worry, I'm not afraid. ”

Zhang Ji didn't speak, just touched his chin and looked at the portrait with a frown.

Ji Cunyan tilted his head to look at him, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Daoist Zhang, don't be afraid, I will protect you!" Remember that when you move at night, you have to follow me, just don't lose it. ”

Ji Jingyang was laughed at by Ji Cunyan, and said, "What are you talking nonsense?" With the kung fu of the two of you, do you still want to be together? You follow me, and Xiao Zhang Tianshi follows Master Jian. ”

Ji Cunyan pouted and said, "Okay......"

Zhang Ji suddenly said: "I have seen this kind of hand." ”

And they all looked at him.

Lei Qixi said: "Xiao Zhang Tianshi walks the rivers and lakes and is well-informed, we really didn't find the wrong helper this time." Xiao Zhang Tianshi, I don't know what the origin of this monster is? ”

Zhang Ji frowned and said, "Although I have seen it, you asked me to explain what this kind of thing is and what it is capable of, and I can't answer." I have seen this kind of person when I traveled to Baiyue. That's when I was catching up with the 'return of the king's wish' of the Yao people in Hezhou. This is a kind of sacrificial ritual, which is held for three days and three nights, and seven days and seven nights, and the process is very complicated, so I will not talk about it. On the last day, the high priest would deliver an offering to the king of Pan. The sacrifice is this kind of 'person'. ”

"People?" Jian Shaolin asked.

"Yes. I've seen sacrifices that were put in a cage and burned alive on a fire. The 'man' in the cage has such a pair of hands. But apart from these hands, he is no different from ordinary people in other places. He has a human face, a human body, but he can't speak human words, just babbling and trying to escape from the cage. ”

"Didn't you ask what that thing was?" Ji Cunyan asked Zhang Ji.

"Hmph, I want to ask, I need to know the local dialect." Zhang Ji said, "Later, I also asked my senior brother. The senior brother only said that these foreign customs are all formed according to their location, after thousands of years of collision and fusion, and it is best not to interfere or ask about it. Alas, I thought his words made a lot of sense back then, but now that I think about it—"

"Isn't it that he doesn't know it, so he says the truth so profoundly, that you can't ask?" Ji Cunyan continued Zhang Ji's words.

"That's right! I think so too! Zhang Ji nodded.

Ji Jingyang looked at the two helplessly and sighed.

It was night, and everyone really divided into two routes, with the central axis of the capital as the center, one east and one west ambushed.

Ji Jingyang and Lei Qi are in the same team as Ji Cunyan, and everyone is lurking in a city god temple in the city at this time. It is well connected in all directions, and the avenue leads to all directions, so you can get there in the shortest possible time no matter where you want to go.

Lei Qi said to Ji Jingyang: "We have surrounded the houses around us with ink threads and attached copper bells. As soon as the evil thing approaches, the brass bell will be loud, and we will receive the signal without the monster entering the house. Regardless of the thing, if you find a monster, you will use fireworks as a signal to notify the other party. ”

Ji Cunyan said: "Third brother, I have grown so big, I have never seen such a big battle." ”

Lei Qi said with a smile: "This battle is not big, back then, when the hundred ghosts traveled at night, we went out of the nest, but it was much more than this battle." ”

While everyone was talking, they suddenly heard a noise from a house not far away. Then, I saw a signal fireworks rising from the house in the east head—it was the fireworks released by the Celestial Dragons who were on duty at each point.

Everyone didn't have time to speak, so they all rushed over with weapons in hand.

Ji Jingyang told Ji Cunyan: "Follow Lei Qi!" Without looking back, he rushed to the front.

The closer they were, the clearer the noise became, and Ji Jingyang slammed open the door of a house and rushed in, only to see a young woman lying on the patio of the house, her face covered in blood, apparently injured. She screamed bitterly, pointed to the top of her head and said, "Give me back my child!" Give my baby back!! ”

Behind the young woman, a big man who was rushing out of the kitchen with a handful of flat poles in his hand, he pointed to the low wall behind Ji Jingyang and said, "You goblin! Give the baby back! "He was disheveled, and his white clothes were stained with blood.

It seems that both of them have fought with the monster for the sake of the child, and they have both been injured.

Ji Jingyang turned around and looked over with the eyes of the young woman and the big man. The masked monster with its lizard hands stood on the low wall with a white swaddling waddle.

When the monster saw Ji Jingyang, he probably thought of the fierce battle with Xuanjing Hall with Qin Tianjian yesterday, and knew that Ji Jingyang's martial arts were not weak, so he seemed to be quite afraid of him. Originally, it stood on a low wall, wanting to see what else the couple could do in order to get their child back. Now that the master is coming, he doesn't want to delay, so he turns around and runs.

Ji Jingyang let out a loud shout, and chased after him with the Undulating Demon Sword.

The direction in which the monster fled was the same direction that Lei Qi was chasing. Everyone laid out a sword formation, wanting to intercept it one after the other with Ji Jingyang.

Ji Cunyan raised his wrist, and the ink line array was thrown, and the copper bell on the ink net made a crisp bell sound, covering the monster.

The monster raised its hand to block the grid, but it was still blocked by the ink net.

Just when everyone thought that the interception was successful, the monster only waved its hand, and the sharp fingertips on the lizard's hand cut through the ink net. At this time, everyone was not on guard, and the monster saw that there was no way forward, so it collided directly with the sword array.

Ji Jingyang drank: "Xiao Yan dodge!" ”

It turned out that the monster also saw who was attacking it, and at this time, he angrily crashed into Ji Cunyan, and the cold light of the lizard's fingertips that cut through the formation net was fully revealed, and it attacked Ji Cunyan's face.

Ji Cunyan's pupils shrank, and there was no way to avoid it at this time, so she could only wave her palms to meet the enemy.

If Ji Cunyan was the same monster, she would only need to be touched by the monster's sharp claws, and she would definitely be either dead or injured.

Just when everyone was out of reach, suddenly, Ji Cunyan only felt a tightness in his waist, it turned out that Jian Shaolin arrived in time, hugged her from behind, and took her out of the circle, so as to avoid the fatal claw of the monster.

"Master Jane?" Ji Cunyan came back to his senses and said to Jian Shaolin.

Jian Shaolin just frowned at her, but he didn't have time to talk to her, he just put her down lightly, and followed Ji Jingyang to chase after the monster's escape.

However, Lei Qi saw that he couldn't catch up with the two of them, so he held Ji Cunyan's shoulder and asked, "Little junior sister, are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”

Ji Cunyan shook his head.

"You've got blood!" Lei Qi pulled up Ji Cunyan's arm and examined it carefully, and said, "Are you scared stupid?" I didn't even know I was hurt. Look again, is there anything that hurts? ”

Ji Cunyan tilted his head in response, still shaking his head. She raised her wrist to look at the blood stains on her sleeve, and thought that when Jian Shaolin saved herself, she had used her body to block between herself and the monster, so she said, "Ah! ”

"What's the 'ah' ? Where are you hurt? Lei Qi asked.

"It's not my blood! It was Master Jane who was injured by that monster in order to save me. Ji Cun said.

Lei Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Jian is injured, Senior Brother Lei Qi, let's go and help!" Ji Cunyan also caught up with him when he stepped up vigorously.

Seeing that the senior sister's feet are still light, Lei Qi said in his heart that this must be fine. Only then did I catch up with confidence.
