Chapter 2: Escape
"Three watches."
The gentry walked down the street with a gong ringing, and not far behind the gentry was a group of night guards.
Behind the officer, in a corner of the shadows, there was a small figure, and this figure was wood.
If you look further away, you can see dozens of figures running on the rooftops, as if searching for something.
The wood was so confused that he couldn't remember how he ran out of the water temple, and he only remembered his sister's sentence in his heart at this time.
"Hurry up and go to the Heavenly Spirit Sect Master and tell him that this place is full of monsters."
Monster?
Thinking of this, Mu couldn't help but shudder again, but then a wave of courage rose from the bottom of his heart, because he wanted to save his sister out.
But when he was about to run to the Sword God Temple, he remembered that the Heavenly Spirit Sect Dao Master had returned to the mountain, and now the Sword God Temple was empty.
So he went to the Demon Suppression Division instead.
The Demon Suppression Division is in charge of monster affairs, but I heard that the people inside are very scary, and Mu has heard rumors about the Demon Suppression Division.
What feeds on monsters, raises ghosts and corpses, kills people like hemp, and so on.
Mu looked at the sign of the Demon Suppression Division in front of him, and plucked up the courage to step forward and knock on the door.
"Knock knock."
The knock on the door echoed through the empty streets, and at the same time a gust of wind blew, whirling up a puff of fallen leaves and dust on the streets.
Wood was even more scared in his heart.
At this time, there were only two people in the Demon Suppression Division, one was Ding He, the captain of the Demon Suppression School, who had just returned from the mission, and the other was the porter Lao Zhou.
Lao Zhou got up angrily to open the door, and just wanted to scold twice, but found that it was a shivering child outside the door, so he endured his temper, brought him in, and then asked him what happened.
"There are monsters in the water temple, save my sister."
The child's first sentence startled Lao Zhou, and then he asked again and again to confirm that this kid was not lying, so he hurriedly reported it to Ding He.
"How can there be monsters in the Water Temple?"
Ding He could see that the child was very scared, but he was stubborn and persistent in his fear, so he was willing to give him patience and asked gently.
Otherwise, who would care about such words.
Are there all monsters in the water temple?
Hey, that's not a big joke.
"Yes, I... I went in to find my sister, my sister was chosen to participate in the miracle ceremony, I haven't seen her for many days, I was afraid that she would be bullied inside, and then I saw a rockery inside, and there was a door on the rockery, and I sneaked in while the people inside came out and didn't close the door. Then I found my sister inside, and my sister became so scary that she almost killed me, and finally she told me that the temple was full of youkai. ”
Mu looked at the amiable Ding He, calmed down a little, and told him what had happened.
Ding He was silent after hearing this, he didn't know whether to believe this child or not.
Because no one who listens to it will believe the words "the water temple is full of monsters", but what this kid said doesn't seem to be fake.
Fortunately, Ding He didn't get entangled for too long, Lao Zhou came over again, interrupting his thoughts, Ding He looked at Lao Zhou and found that there were several people behind him.
"Captain Ding, these people said that they were from the Water Temple, and a thief stole something from their temple and came to us."
Lao Zhou reported in a low voice, and after speaking, he brought people up.
These people are all wearing yellow robes, the leader is Xuanyu, and the two behind them are also upright.
It's just that both of them have bruises on their faces, as if they have just been beaten.
The child looked at the person who came, and his heart was even more afraid, and the two people behind him were not the people he saw coming out of the rockery.
Ding He seemed to feel something, got up and stepped forward, just blocking the wood behind him.
"I don't know what the water temple mage is going to do in the middle of the night to come to my demon suppression division?"
The leading mage's gaze swept over Ding He, looked at the wood, and his expression turned fierce.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that there was a thief in the temple, and I chased it all the way down but found that it came to the Demon Suppression Division, and I asked the captain to hand it over to me."
"Oh, then, I will hand him over to the government tomorrow, and I will not be able to bypass him."
Ding He followed his words, but put his left hand behind him and pinched a law.
"It's not necessary, I didn't lose anything important, let him come back..."The mage stopped halfway through speaking, as if he felt something, turned to look at Ding He, shook his head and let out a sigh.
"Well, Captain, why should you?"
Ding He's left hand trembled slightly, and a tingling sensation came from the palm of his hand, which was his reaction when he detected the demon in this secret technique.
At this time, there were only him, the child, and the mage in front of him.
I'm definitely not, and neither is a child, so that's all that's left...
"This mage, what you say, I don't understand, if you really want this child, take it away."
As he spoke, Ding He grabbed the wood and made the appearance that he was going to send him out.
However, just as he was about to deliver the wood to the mage, a sword light burst out and pierced the mage's heart in front of him.
The mage's pupils turned into brown vertical pupils, his face became gloomy, and he shouted loudly.
"Kill him for me, and leave no one here."
There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house, and then there was a miserable scream from Lao Zhou.
Ding He saw that this sword was unsuccessful, and found that the opponent was numerous, and seemed to surround the Demon Suppression Division, so he immediately changed his strategy, grabbed the wood with one hand and ran out.
The wood hugged Ding He tightly, closed his eyes and didn't dare to move, he was afraid that he would be left behind, and there would be only one way to die.
Fortunately, the hand that held him never let go.
It wasn't until a long time later that there was no longer the sound of chasing behind him, only the sound of Ding He's panting breathing remained.
Wood finally opened his eyes, looked around, and found them in a firewood house.
"Are we safe?"
"It's safe for now."
Ding He lowered him and whispered in response, then began to deal with his own wounds.
Only then did Mu find that there were dozens of wounds on his body, large and small, especially the left hand holding him, which seemed to have several of them blocked for him.
"Do you matter?"
Ding He glanced at him and smiled heartily.
"It's just a small injury, when I was fighting the demon beast outside, the injury I suffered was much more serious than this."
After a pause, he added.
"You are hiding here, after a few days, the limelight will pass, go to Baiyun Temple to find the Heavenly Spirit Son Daoist, and tell him about this, do you know?"
"Okay, what about you?"
Mu nodded, and looked at Ding He with a worried face, even if he was young, he had also seen it from the script, and those bad guys would definitely continue to hunt them down.
"I'll go and lure them away, you don't care about the rest, remember, if you want to save your sister, you must notify the Taoist."
"Okay."
Mu nodded fiercely, and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely find the Heavenly Spirit Son Dao Master.
After Ding He finished speaking, he bandaged the wounds on his body again, touched the head of the wood, and then turned out of the window and plunged into the night again.
