Wang Juan took the firecrackers, but he was still a little puzzled by Yao Wei's statement: "Aren't the fireworks in the legend to expel the Year Beast?" I remember the name Chinese New Year's Eve, which is why it came from. Why do you use firecrackers to attract the Year Beast? ”

Yao Wei explained: "Fireworks and firecrackers are naturally used to drive away the New Year's Beast. But now that the Nian Beast is hidden, I can't lock it down. I need to use a firecracker to make it move, and then I'll be able to find it. ”

Wang Juan nodded, indicating that he understood. It's good to leave professional things to a professional person, he just needs to cooperate.

Yao Wei took Wang Juan to find an empty and uninhabited place before lighting the firecrackers.

There is also a custom of setting off firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve in Yingzhou Capital, but the firecrackers are all set off at the time of the child. Before the time came, Wang Juan and Yao Wei had to do it themselves.

Wang Juan lit the cannon hanging on the bamboo top, held the bamboo pole, and watched the cannon "crackling" for a while, as if returning to the childhood of the previous life in a trance.

At that time, his Chinese New Year's Eve was always so leisurely, taking advantage of the Spring Festival Gala singing to go out and set off fireworks.

Of course, the firecrackers with bamboo poles and whips have long been eliminated, but now, he can only play with such things, and the long-pole fireworks in his hand have become "clouds of the past".

"Wang Siwei, what are you thinking?"

Yao Wei's voice suddenly pulled Wang Juan's thoughts back.

Wang Juan was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter, the year beast has been found?" ”

"How can it be so fast?"

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "It's just that I saw Wang Siwei looking at the firecrackers in a daze, and I was a little curious." ”

Wang Juan said: "It's nothing, it's just that I remembered some of the past." ”

While talking, the two of them finished a cannon battle, and then changed a string to hang on the bamboo tips and lit it.

"Was it a childhood sweetheart?"

Yao Wei asked curiously.

Wang Juan was speechless: "What are you thinking about, Yao Jimo?" ”

Yao Wei said: "That's what the books say. ”

“……”

Wang Juan didn't expect Yao Jimo to have such a hobby, "Yao Jimo likes to read? ”

Yao Wei said: "Yes." But I don't like to read serious books, I only like to read miscellaneous books that can't be put on the table. ”

Wang Juan nodded and said, "I can see it." ”

Yao Wei asked, "Wang Siwei, what are your hobbies?" ”

"Me?"

Wang Juan thought for a moment and said, "I like to work...... It's just running errands. ”

In his previous life, he liked to read books and play games, and there was a bookcase of books at home, and the three hosts of the royal family were also collected. But what is there to say about it? It's all in the past.

Yao Wei only thought that Wang Juan didn't want to talk about this topic, so she didn't ask any more.

As for Wang Juan's answer, she didn't believe it.

Who likes to work hard if it's not their duty?

"There it is!"

Yao Wei suddenly gathered her mind and looked in one direction.

Wang Juan followed Yao Wei's gaze, but saw that the night was deep in that direction, there were no stars and no moon, and the outlines of the houses and streets were pitch black, and there was no movement to be seen.

However, he still believed in professionalism, and followed Yao Wei to chase in that direction.

They ran two streets, almost at the base of the city wall of Huicheng County, only to see that not far ahead, there was a shadowy thing, which became more and more inconspicuous in the dark night.

Wang Juan seemed to see the distorted air when there was a fire burning.

"Finally found you, come out."

Yao Wei's voice seemed to have finally found a scumbag who had been abandoned for many years.

She stretched out her hand and held it, and the air in front of her also twisted, connecting with the shadow of the distorted air in front of her.

And then something was ripped out of the twist.

It was a golden monster with a face like a lion and a tiger, with horns at the tip of its head, a body larger than two horses, and its golden fur moving with the wind, giving people the feeling of running extremely fast.

Is this the Year Beast?

When Wang Juan saw the appearance of the Nian Beast, his body became uncomfortable, as if something was going wrong, and his body became weak, as if a vicious disease was coming.

"Concentrate and calm down, hold Yuan Shouyi."

Yao Wei grabbed Wang Juan's hand.

Wang Juan felt a wave of heat pass from Yao Wei's hot palm and explode inside him. The discomfort was diminished in an instant.

He hurriedly followed the words, calmed his mind, hugged Yuan Shouyi, and suddenly understood what Yao Jimo meant by the calamity and time chaos mentioned before.

He seemed to have missed a lot of time in this trance, and Yao Jimo didn't know when he had let go of his hand and fought with the Nian Beast in one place.

Out of nowhere, Yao Jimo pulled out two thin thorns, which glowed with dazzling golden light as she swung them.

The beast tossed and turned, very agile, with teeth and claws, and was also very ferocious.

Wang Juan watched the actions of the Year Beast was not at all beyond the reach of Yao Jimo. Yao Ji Demon always has a feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife against the beast of the previous year, and it is full of dangers.

However, Yao Jimo hit the double thorns, and the golden light was sheng, and sparks sparked out. Whenever the beast faced the sparks, it was always very frightened, and quickly dodged, which made Yao Jimo always save the day.

Wang Juan watched from afar and wanted to come forward to help. But he watched it for a long time, but found that there was no place for him to intervene in this battle.

The strength of the Nian Beast far exceeded that of any demon he had encountered, and the strength of Yao Ji Demon was also much higher than him.

If he joins in without permission, he will just be a food delivery person, and he will not be able to do anything except make trouble for Yao Jimo.

Even if he finds an opportunity to use the involution field, it will not play a role.

I drove here with Yao Jimo, but I was responsible for leading the way. Yao Jimo didn't expect much help from him.

Wang Juan saw the facts clearly, and was quite unwilling in his heart.

But what if you are unwilling? Be honest as a war correspondent.

The battle was fierce in front of him, sparks flew everywhere, and in a short time, a large pit was smashed out of the nearby city wall and the ground. The city guards who guarded the gate came and were too frightened to go forward.

The surrounding residents heard the movement, opened the doors and windows to take a look, and quickly closed them, too frightened to bubble. It seems that tomorrow, the Huicheng County Government will have to work hard to deal with the aftermath.

Gradually, Wang Juan saw that Yao Wei had the upper hand. She didn't know what kind of magical power she cultivated, the more the thorns danced, the more the sparks sparked, and the dazzling sun seemed to rise on the ground, round by round, squeezing the space vacated by the year beast.

The firelight illuminated Yao Wei extremely brightly, like a fairy dancing in the sun.

"Whew-"

The beast suddenly let out a roar and turned around and jumped out of the city wall. It was already wounded, and it kept dripping golden blood, and when it saw that it couldn't be beaten, it wanted to flee.

Yao Wei didn't say a word, jumped up, stabbed into the city wall with double stabs, and helped her climb over the city wall in three or two strokes.

Seeing this, Wang Juan also hurriedly followed.

"Trouble open the gates."

The realm of the Qi cultivation period did not allow him to move like Yao Wei, so he had to ask for help from the city guard.

"Oh, oh!"

The city guard was a little frightened, but he still recognized the demon slayer soap coat on Wang Juan's body, and hurriedly ran to open the city gate.

Wang Juan immediately rushed out, but saw Yao Wei standing outside the city, looking in one direction with a look of chagrin.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Juan stepped forward and asked.

Yao Wei said angrily: "I spent three years of hard work and found a way to restrain the Year Beast. The beast can't beat me now, but it's running too fast for me to catch up! ”
