Chapter 255: Shadows
Time flies, and the white clouds are long.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to half a month later,
Wang Xiaohu took a few of his subordinates and arrived outside the Flower Language City on the Flying Flower, where the Demon Hunting Division was stationed.
After a brief handover with the eighth team, the other party was relatively calm during this town guard, and no strange incidents occurred.
Watching the other party leave on the Luohua spaceship, Wang Xiaohu, who was standing near the cloud platform, sighed:
"Time really doesn't pass, it's our turn to guard so soon,"
After speaking, ignoring the expressions of several other people, he stepped out and disappeared in place.
Soon, Wang Xiaohu, who came to his room, closed his eyes and meditated and cultivated, not letting go of a minute or a second.
Since he met his family, his heart has become a little empty inexplicably, and he doesn't seem to feel the meaning of his existence in the world.
Therefore, he always finds something to pass the time, and if there is really nothing to do, he retreats and meditates to practice, so as not to let himself be cranky.
There is a city in Huayu County, which is named Wutong City because of its many plane trees.
In a teahouse in Wutong City, several scholars were chatting about the past and the present, which attracted the applause of nearby tea customers for a while.
Suddenly, a seven or eight-year-old child followed his father into the teahouse, and looked curiously at the scholars who were talking loudly, and his eyes showed curiosity.
followed my father to find a place, called for some tea to eat,
After eating some food, the child whispered to his father:
"Father, why don't they have a shadow!"
When my father heard this, he was stunned, but he was still patient and whispered:
"This is a teahouse, there is no sun, and of course there is no shadow!"
When the child heard this, he nodded his little head and said that he understood!
My father, who was eating and drinking tea, heard the scholars talking, and was as attracted by what they talked about, just like everyone else.
Turning his head and looking at the scholars, he saw a few people happily talking about an ancient story.
Originally, I was about to turn my head after a glance, but my son's words just now suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but look to the ground.
"Huh? Shadows!"
At this time, the child's father found out that the scholars were sitting by the window.
Although the sunlight outside was not very strong, it was still there, and it was shining through the window diagonally.
Seeing that there were only the shadows of tables and chairs on the ground, and there were few people, the child's father suddenly stiffened, and his heart was suddenly full of fear.
I only felt that I was in the middle of winter, and my teeth began to tremble.
However, looking at the lively crowd around him, he eased the fear in his heart, took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and put it on the table.
He said to the guy passing by, "I suddenly remembered that there was something at home, so I won't stay long!"
Then, picking up some snacks on the table, he silently pulled his son and walked out of the teahouse.
After some distance from the teahouse, the child's father found that his whole body was already semi-wet, and his palms were full of sweat.
Turning his head to look at the teahouse, he didn't stay too long, picked up his son and walked quickly in the direction of the county office.
The guy in the inn, looking at the snacks that hadn't eaten much on the table, muttered:
"What a waste of food! It's cheaper for yourself."
Then he began to clean up with a happy face, ready to bring the meal to the back kitchen and enjoy it himself.
An hour later,
The people in the teahouse changed batch after batch, but those scholars did not leave, and they were still there talking about the past and the present, sad and sad.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout outside,
"Quick, fence off the teahouse, no one can leave!"
"Stomp!" The sound of footsteps instantly came into the ears of everyone in the teahouse, and I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
very
Quick, seeing the disciples of the Four Seas Gang who broke in directly and had a fierce look on their faces, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and they hurriedly got up and wanted to leave.
However, they were greeted by a bright blade resting on their necks.
"It's all for Lao Tzu to sit down, and no one is allowed to move!"
Xiao Ping, the leader of the team, looked inside the teahouse according to the information provided by the government.
Then, with some ugly faces, he looked at a few scholars by the window, and said sharply:
"Arrest these scholars for me, if you don't do your business all day long, you will spread rumors here!"
When his subordinates heard the sound, they suddenly pulled out their waist knives and threw themselves at several scholars.
But, to their surprise, the scholar continued to talk as if he hadn't seen them.
At this time, everyone in the teahouse looked a little puzzled.
Seeing this, the disciples of the Four Seas Gang did not hesitate at all,
"Whew!" With a bang, he slashed with a sword,
The sound of "stabbing", like the sound of tearing cloth, suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
I saw that the scholar who was cut down was split in half like a piece of cloth and slowly fell to the ground.
"Ah! What is this?"
At this time, no matter how sluggish the people in the inn were, they understood what was going on, and suddenly a chill suddenly felt in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a little commotion.
Xiao Ping, the small leader of the team, glanced at everyone in the inn with cold eyes, and said coldly:
"No one is allowed to move, otherwise, don't blame my knife for not having eyes!"
At the same time, those scholars had all been cut in half by his subordinates, and all of them fell to the ground.
After going forward and taking a closer look, I found that it was just a layer of human skin wearing clothes, but I don't know why I was no different from ordinary people, eating and drinking tea and talking in the inn.
Then, with a wave of his hand,
"Hold all the people in the teahouse into custody, and don't let anyone go.
In addition, inform the Commander of the situation here, and ask the Commander to decide!"
After saying that, he went out of the teahouse and found a stool outside to sit on, intending to wait for the commander to come.
The people in the teahouse were arranged by the disciples of the Four Seas Gang to be guarded in a corner, and the sharp sword light reflected their pale faces.
Seeing this, the boss at the back of the teahouse shouted bad luck in his heart, and secretly ran away from the back door.
Soon, Xiao Feng, the leader of the team, rushed over with a hurried expression, and saw his younger brother sitting outside the teahouse.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, he calmed down and asked:
"Xiao Ping, what's the situation?"
Seeing his eldest brother, the little boss Xiao Ping also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then explained the matter of the teahouse.
Then he asked with a worried look:
"Big brother, what do we do now?"
After Xiao Feng listened to his brother's explanation, he was also very confused in his heart for a while, and he didn't know why.
So, he shook his head and said:
"I don't understand the reason for the time being, so I can only use the old way first!"
After saying that, he drove all the people in the inn out, and at the same time sent people to check the situation at the homes of those scholars.
"Ignition!"
After a loud shout, I saw a few disciples of the Four Seas Gang, throwing a few torches and some spirits into the teahouse, on the remaining human skin clothes of the scholars.
Soon, flames ignited inside the teahouse, and thick black smoke came out.
Until half an hour later,
Xiao Ping whispered to his brother:
"Big brother, the people sent to check on have all returned,
Sure enough, all of their homes were covered in human skins, and after being slashed, they became the inside of the teahouse!"
"However, the disciples sent have already burned all their clothes and human skins!"
When Xiao Feng heard his brother's words, he couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his heart,
Because I don't know how many people in Wutong City are clothed in human skins, maybe there are such people among my subordinates.
So he took a deep breath and commanded the people behind him:
"From now on, the whole city shall be sealed off, and no entry or exit shall be permitted.
At the same time, there are people in the station, and they are inspected from house to house, and only those who are alive and moving, all of them cut my fingers!"
All the subordinates listened to the order, dispersed in an instant, and went to inform everyone in the clan,
And Xiao Feng didn't delay for a moment, and immediately went to the president of the team and told the other party about the matter.
The president leader of the team, and also the deputy hall master of the Four Seas Gang in Wutong City: Wu Haiping,
After listening to Xiao Feng's description, without the slightest drag, he immediately took out the dagger and stabbed his palm.
Then he saw blood flowing from his fingers, and then he commanded his subordinates:
"Go and sit according to Commander Xiao's words, and inform the Four Seas Gang team and ordinary disciples,
Check yourself first, and then ask the government to cooperate and conduct a city-wide search, and you must clean it up!"
With Wu Haiping's order, all the disciples of the Four Seas Gang in Wutong City moved,
After checking themselves first, they began to search house in groups.
I saw every disciple of the Four Seas Gang, with spirits and fire folds, with fierce faces,
"Bang bang bang!"
Open the door, open the door quickly, the government checks,
