Chapter 36: The Grey Cat

Someone is missing again? Xu Chong's heart moved.

I heard Yu Zhutou say that the demon road has been in Qingshan County, and it has been silent for several days, and he is still worried about how to capture the demon.

But now I heard from the town yaxian master of Qingshan County that there was another missing person in neighboring Dahe County yesterday, and it seems that this matter must have something to do with the demon road.

Xu Chong is not afraid of the strange methods of the demon way, and he is most afraid of having no clue about doing things.

Now it seems that the demon is only afraid that he has lurked in the territory of Dahe County, as long as he is sure of his location, Xu Chong will have the confidence to find him out.

Thinking of this, he immediately saluted the thin little immortal master and said, "Immortal Master Zhang, has that demon path already appeared in Dahe County?" ”

"Zhang has seen Xu Xianshi!"

The thin little immortal master also returned the salute and said, "That demon dao is becoming more and more cautious now, it may be that he was almost captured by us last time, so he has not shown up for so many days." ”

"But Lin Xiaofeng, the town yaxian master of Dahe County, is the same brother as Zhang, according to his paper crane biography, I suspect that the demon may be proficient in disguise and disguise, and he deliberately dressed as a Taoist priest in Qingshan County before, and when he arrived in Yamato County, he changed his identity and appearance, maybe the demon is not a Taoist, we may have been confused before......"

Hearing this, Xu Chong thought for a moment and said, "Except for the recent disappearance of people in Qingshan County and Dahe County, have you heard of this in other places?" ”

"Nope!"

This time it was Yu Zhutou who interjected, "The disappearance of women and children has only appeared in the last month or so. ”

Xu Chong said thoughtfully: "Are there many people passing by in the countryside here?" ”

Yu Zhutou knew what he was thinking, so he shook his head and said: "This can't be checked, Liangzhou belongs to the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty, bordering outside the border, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes who cross the border, unless the target can be determined, otherwise, it is impossible to suspect them all, besides, there are not so many people to investigate." ”

It's a lot of trouble.

Although the strength of this demon is not very high, it is very weird and mysterious, and it seems that it is not so easy to arrest him.

Xu Chong secretly frowned.

At the moment, I have to go to Dahe County.

There are people missing there, which proves that the demon must be hiding in the territory of the Great River, and it is estimated that he will still commit crimes.

Thinking of this, Xu Chong immediately got up and said to everyone: "Since the demon committed a crime in Dahe County yesterday, I must rush over to investigate as soon as possible, maybe I can find new clues." ”

With that, he prepared to take his leave and leave.

At this time, Luo Xian ordered: "Yu Dalong, you go to prepare a horse and accompany Xu Xianshi to go together." ”

"Yes, sir!"

After hearing the order of the county, Yu Dalong hurriedly went to prepare his mount.

In a short time, the saddle horse to Dahe County was ready, and it was waiting outside the gate of the county government.

Luo County Linghe Town Yaxian Master personally sent Xu Chong out.

When Xu Chong was about to get on the horse, Immortal Master Zhang suddenly spoke: "Immortal Master Xu, that demon may be proficient in the wall-piercing technique, if you encounter it, you must be careful to take precautions." ”

Xu Chong was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you Immortal Master Zhang for reminding me!" Lord Luo, there are many disturbances today, and I ...... leave"

After saying that, he turned over and left.

Yu Zhutou, the tiger servant, plus Xu Chong, the three of them and three horses, left Qingshan County at the fastest speed and ran towards Dahe County.

After leaving the county seat, it was already dusk.

Just now, Xu Chong was in Qingshan County, and he stayed for less than an hour in total, and he didn't even have time to eat.

After leaving the city, he traveled more than twenty miles south.

At this time, there was an intersection ahead, and there was an inn near the intersection, and in the courtyard on the left side of the inn, there were several passing carriages and horses, as well as some livestock carrying goods.

Yu Zhutou saw that the sky was already dark, so he turned around and asked: "Xu Xianshi just left in a hurry, and he didn't have time to entertain, this place is still dozens of miles away from Dahe County, how about we go in for dinner and then hurry?" ”

Xu Chong was already hungry, and when he heard this, he nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

As the three of them turned over and dismounted, a shopkeeper soon greeted them and led their mounts away.

Inside the inn, the lights are bright.

After Xu Chong and Yu Zhutou walked in, they found that there were already two tables of guests sitting in the lobby, and they felt like Jianghu darts with dusty faces.

The three of them found a corner and sat down, and it didn't take long for the shopkeeper to bring up the food and drinks.

"Immortal Master Xu, please!"

"Please!"

Xu Chong picked up the chopsticks, and just after a few bites, he saw six more people outside walking into the door of the inn.

The two of them looked up at the same time and looked towards the door, and found that it was a middle-aged woman with a freckled face, and a badly worn soft leather bag hanging from her waist, which was bulging inside, and she didn't know what it contained.

There are also five strong men in old leather jackets, and looking at the road flags they carry, it seems that they are a group of horse dealers from outside the Guan.

After the group of horse dealers entered the inn, they sat directly in the corner opposite Xu Chong, ordered some food and wine, and ate and drank quietly.

Because they were in a hurry to go to Dahe County, Xu Chong and the three of them quickly finished eating and settling the bill.

When the three of them were about to get up and leave, Xu Chong turned around and accidentally saw a squirm in the soft leather pouch around the freckled woman's waist, and then a fluffy cat head poked out of it.

"It turns out that the woman was carrying a kitten......

Xu Chong shook his head and smiled, and couldn't help but take a second look, because that cat was so rare.

The white head, black below the neck, especially the cat's eyes, shiny and unusually smart.

"Obedient, go in and sleep, it's cold outside......"

Faintly, Xu Chong heard the woman's scolding voice, and then casually pressed the cat's head into the leather bag.

As the three of them walked out of the inn gate, it was not long before the innkeeper sent someone to bring the horses for them.

"Three guest officers walk slowly......"

Xu Chong and the others turned on their horses, left the inn, and continued towards Dahe County.

On the main road, the tiger servant rode his horse to Xu Chong's side and said, "Immortal master, the woman's cat just now should have been enlightened, and it seemed to sense my existence, so it poked its head out to look for it." ”

Hearing it talk about the cat, Xu Chong was really impressed, and he felt that it was not an extraordinary thing at the time, but he didn't expect that he had already gained spiritual intelligence.

From this point of view, the woman with freckles on her face is probably not simple.

At this moment, Yu Zhutou, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said: "The five strong men around the woman are all practitioners, and their martial arts strength is not bad, at least they are all in the middle stage of martial arts. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chong smiled and said: "In these years, if you don't have a little self-defense ability, where do you dare to come out and walk the rivers and lakes......

In the middle of the night, Xu Chong finally arrived at Dahe County under the guidance of Yu Zhutou.

Since the city gate has been closed, after the identity is verified, the city defense will put down the hanging basket and pull the three into the city, as for the three people's mounts, they can only be temporarily placed outside the city and someone will take care of them.

This is still for the sake of the face of the city patrol department, otherwise, even if Luo Xianling comes in person, he will not be able to enter the city.

After entering the city, the three of them went straight to the county office.

Because Zhang Xianshi of Qingshan County had already used the paper crane to pass the letter and newspaper, the Dahe County Order, the head catcher, and the town Yaxian Master had been waiting for them to arrive.
