The wind whistled.

On the roof, a figure rose and fell, as fast as lightning, and disappeared.

Luo Qingfeng was a little worried.

But at this moment, I didn't hear a short or long whistle, and I didn't rush to leave.

After all, there is a little girl in the house who needs to be protected.

And those weird little footprints, I've just been here, I don't know if I'll return.

About half a pillar of incense.

Tang Wudi jumped in lightly from outside the courtyard wall, looked at him and said, "Have you ever found anything coming?" ”

Luo Qingfeng pointed to a pair of small footprints beside him and said, "The captain came over to take a look." ”

Tang Wu's expression froze, and he immediately walked in front of him, looking down at the ground.

The moonlight is falling.

A thin layer of white powder was laid on the ground, and two small faint footprints appeared on it.

Tang Wu's pupils shrank, and he looked at him a few more times, looked at him and said, "It's not autumn frost on the ground, what is it?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "Lime powder." ”

Tang Wu was stunned: "You lied?" ”

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "I scattered all the other places in the small courtyard, but they were all blown away by the wind, only here." Anyone who has been there should be footprints. ”

Tang Wu looked at him a few times in surprise and said, "When did these footprints appear?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "Just before you whistled. ”

Tang Wu stared at him and said, "Just now Ah Tian found a figure in the garden outside, it was very fast, and when she chased after her, the other party had already jumped over the courtyard wall. Ah Tian raised the alarm, and we immediately surrounded us from four directions, but we didn't catch up. According to Ah Tian, the figure was relatively short, like a ......"

Speaking of this, Luo Qingfeng lowered his head with her and looked at the footprints on the ground again.

"Like a child?"

Luo Qingfeng asked.

Tang Wu looked solemn, nodded, and said, "But it is not excluded that it is a petite maid." ”

Then he looked at him and said, "The maid in your house is very petite." ”

Luo Qingfeng's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Do you suspect her?" That's why you came here? ”

Tang Wu was silent for a moment, and replied, asking, "Did she just go out?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "She has been in bed all the time, and she has just come out to be convenient in the small courtyard, and I have watched the whole process." ”

Tang Wu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Is it convenient to come out?" Do you keep watching when she's convenient? ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "Yes." ”

Then he said, "Besides, the footprints on the ground are not hers." ”

Tang Wu nodded, groaned, and said, "Don't be angry, anyone in this mansion, including Cheng Guogong, will be included in the list of suspicions." I heard the nightingale say, you have only known that little girl for a few days, and she took the initiative to speak in front of the big housekeeper, saying that she wanted to follow you, so I will also list her as a target of suspicion. ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "But she was possessed by a demon last night. ”

Tang Wu looked at him calmly and said, "There is not only one demon in the house, maybe they are all together, and it is not impossible to help each other and act." ”

Luo Qingfeng didn't speak again.

Tang Wu said: "Although it will make you uncomfortable if I say this, you have to remember that you are a demon slayer, and in this case, anyone around you, you must be brave and suspicious." Including me, including Ah Ying, and the little maid in your house. ”

Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Isn't there any way to distinguish demons?" ”

Tang Wu said: "We have a piece of demon jade here, if there is a demonic qi appearing, an alarm will be sounded." If you want to tell if there is a demon in a cultivator's body, you can check the star power in the opponent's body, and the other party can be found as long as the star power is activated. And the demons in the bodies of ordinary people are a little difficult, because as long as they are patiently hidden, it is difficult for us to find them, unless they are actively exposed, or passively exposed, revealing clues. ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "How to be passively exposed? ”

Tang Wu said: "If there is a demon in the body, there will be some kind of extreme emotion or character, if we are suspicious, we can take the initiative to detonate the other party's emotions, and the other party will naturally be exposed." ”

Luo Qingfeng suddenly thought of the two demons he had encountered with Aya outside Qingquan Town.

Tang Wu said again: "However, some demons have very strong hearts, no matter how you tempt, the other party is indifferent. The three objects we suspect in the house have been tried one by one, but to no avail. However, just now we suddenly spotted that figure, and you found these footprints again, so our suspicious eyes fell on your student again, and this time we may need your help. ”

Luo Qingfeng was inexplicably a little repulsed in his heart.

But he knew that this thing had to be done, and the sooner he caught that demon, he could leave this place of right and wrong with Sister Nightingale as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it can be dangerous at any time.

"What should I do?"

He asked.

Tang Wu glanced at the look on his face and said, "Use your talent to talk to her more and listen more to what happened to her." As long as she says too much, we will find some abnormalities. ”

Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's obviously a demon exterminator, how can it feel like you're doing something bad, and your conscience is uneasy." ”

Tang Wu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "If you see more demons, you won't feel this way." Demon good disguise, they know our human hearts very well, so they will use all kinds of things that can touch our human hearts to disguise, such as age, appearance, all kinds of tragic encounters, and make you have all kinds of difficult emotions for her, and so on. If you are fooled, you will be the one who will die. ”

Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Captain, I've always had a question. ”

Tang Wu said: "You say." ”

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "You always say that demons are good at disguise, how can you be sure that all demons are deliberately disguised, not their true inner portrayal?" Some demons have been disguised for a lifetime, but is that still a disguise? Some demons have never harmed anyone in their lives, so should they be eliminated? If we kill such demons, the people who have been possessed by them for a long time will also die, so is it right or wrong for us to do this? ”

Tang Wu was quiet for a moment, looked at him deeply a few times, and said, "Do you have a question?" Obviously, there are a lot of questions. ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "Can the captain help me answer?" ”

Tang Wu was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I have asked these questions of yours before, not only you and me, many people have asked, but no one has explained. There is only one answer, all demons are evil and should be eliminated. Our Demon Suppression Courtyard was established to eliminate demons. ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "I'm not satisfied with this answer. ”

Tang Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Then I would like to ask you, have you ever harmed people and only done good deeds with the demons you have encountered so far?" ”

Luo Qingfeng didn't speak again.

"Isn't that the answer?"

Tang Wu smiled and said, "Okay, go back and rest, recuperate and prepare for the next challenge." There are some things that are not useful to think too much about, and will only embarrass yourself. ”

Luo Qingfeng nodded.

Tang Wu didn't say anything more, walked down the corridor, jumped lightly, and had already jumped out of the courtyard wall.

At this time, it was already the fourth watch.

Luo Qingfeng returned to the room, closed the door and window, and went to bed.

The quilt was covered by the little maid very warm.

As soon as he entered, the little maid was attached to his chest, hugged him tightly, and whispered: "Childe, the slave is afraid of ......."

Luo Qingfeng said: "What are you afraid of?" ”

The little maid hugged him tightly and said, "The slave is afraid...... I'm afraid that like Xiao Zixiaojing, it will suddenly be gone, and I will no longer be able to serve my son. ”

It turned out that she had already guessed something.

After all, there have been too many deaths and disappearances in the house recently, and it is impossible to hide them all.

Luo Qingfeng gently stroked her hair and said, "It's okay, there is a son to protect you." ”

The little maid stopped talking, and curled up tightly in his arms.

After a while, she suddenly hiccuped and quickly covered her mouth.

Luo Qingfeng said: "Have you eaten too much?" ”

The little maid's face was suddenly red, her hot cheeks were buried tightly in his chest, and she didn't dare to speak.

Luo Qingfeng said: "Next dinner, I won't leave it for you." If you say that you only eat two meals, you eat three meals, and you eat one more meal than my son, so you are not afraid of gaining weight? ”

The little maid suddenly "snorted", and buried her whole head in the quilt in shame.

"Alright, let's sleep."

Luo Qingfeng glanced out the window, thought about the conversation with the captain just now, and then closed his eyes.

Woke up the next day feeling refreshed.

He continued to practice at home.

Fuchu also seemed calm on the surface, and nothing else happened.

After dark.

He continued to light sandalwood, closed the door and window, and went out of his body.

This time, he came out with ease.

The spirit fluttered, walked around the room a few times, felt not very happy, and went through the wall again, went to the hall, and saw the little girl sitting on the chair in the hall with her head down and embroidering flowers.

He sped up and swept past her.

"Whew-"

A gust of wind suddenly appeared!

The little girl's hair was stirred, and her body trembled in fright.

She opened her innocent eyes wide and glanced at the closed door, a little puzzled and a little scared.

She glanced at the room next to her, as if she wanted to go in, and seemed to be afraid of disturbing Childe, so she continued to sit there, looking at the crack in the door from time to time.

Luo Qingfeng saw that the little girl was frightened by herself, and she regretted it a little, slowed down, left from the hall, walked directly through the wooden door, and came to the small courtyard.

The temperature outside is very low.

The night wind blew, and his whole soul suddenly trembled, and he felt the pain of being stabbed in his body by a sharp knife.

But he knew that this was the stage that the soul must go through at night.

Not long after the soul is out of the body, it will naturally be a little afraid and uncomfortable when it first comes into contact with the outside, and it needs to be tempered more, wandering more in the dark night, experiencing wind and rain, and experiencing the baptism and tempering of the moonlight and stars, in order to become more powerful.

Then, you can try a day trip.

He endured the pain and trembling, first wandered in the corridor for a while, and then, boldly, slowly flew out of the corridor and into the small courtyard.

The night wind in the small courtyard is stronger.

He felt that his entire soul was almost blown away, and his body was in great pain, but strangely, under the light of the moonlight and stars, there was a very warm and comfortable feeling.

He didn't dare to fly too high, and continued to wander slowly in the small courtyard.

In the sight of the soul, the originally dark and dim night seemed to be in full view, and it became extremely clear.

Just as he was slowly feeling this wonderful change, he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the small courtyard!

To his current soul, it was extremely clear!

Then, a figure jumped up from outside the courtyard wall and landed lightly in the small courtyard.
