At the reception banquet, after everyone sat down, Red Scales took Zimo and Lao Long to come late, and after some introductions, everyone sat down in turn.

The position of the red scales is next to the same light, and to the left of the same light is Yun Xi, and between the staggered plans, Yun Xi looks at the red scales from time to time out of a good impression of the red scales, and there is a lot of admiration in his eyes.

With Zimo by his side, Red Scales had no distractions, so he naturally couldn't feel Yun Xi's gaze from Tongguang.

However, the same light beside Yun Xi was also single-mindedly on the little junior sister Red Scales, while he felt the admiring eyes of Yun Xi who passed through his face, and on the other hand, he was jealous of Zimo and Red Scales' intimate behavior, and the vinegar in his heart was rolling, like sitting on pins and needles.

After the banquet was dispersed, Na Yunxi hurried to make meritorious contributions to everyone, so he couldn't wait to shout Tongguang to capture the demon together.

Tongguang was scared in his heart, and refused again and again, "Yunxi Palace, see if you can change someone to accompany me, I am a little unwell, and my stomach pain is unbearable at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you." ”

Hearing Yun Xi's refusal, Yun Xi hurriedly turned his eager gaze to Red Scales, "Red Scale Girl, since your senior brother is unwell, it is better to bother the girl and lead the way for me personally." ”

Before Red Scale could speak, several voices had already said in unison, "Absolutely not!" The princess hurriedly explained, "Red Scale has just escaped from the Demon Cave, and her body has not yet recovered, so it is not suitable to accompany His Highness to capture demons, and I hope that Yunxi Hall will forgive her!"

"Oh, in that case, I'll go alone, but don't worry, if I see the demon's whereabouts, I'll be able to capture him. After Yun Xi finished speaking, he was not annoyed, he looked back at the red scales meaningfully, and then turned around and left with a smile.

As soon as Yun Xi walked out of the Crystal Palace on his front foot, Tongguang was accused by Master Wu, "Apprentice, such a big thing, how can you let it go, let Yun Xi Hall go to capture the demon alone, in case there is a little accident, let us Dongting Lake Water Tribe explain to the heavenly realm."

Tongguang, I have seen through your little clever master, now you are calm and relaxed, and your whole body is full of Tai, where is there any disease?"

Hearing Master's accusation, Tongguang knew that it would be difficult to hide his cowardice, so he had to promise Master, "Master, I was also frightened by that demon and didn't dare to go easily, since even you accuse me, then I can only take a risk." After speaking, he hurriedly slipped out of the Crystal Palace and went to catch up with the Yunxi Hall that was one step ahead.

On the surface of Dongting Lake, the waves were like scales, Yun Xi jumped out of the water, and was about to ride the clouds to look around on the lake, and Tongguang had already caught up.

"Yunxi Palace, wait for me, I still don't worry about you going alone, so I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. ”

Yun Xi turned around and saw Tongguang hurrying over, with a smile in his eyebrows, "That's very good, I'm worried that I don't know the original cave of the demon, why don't you take me there to investigate first?"

"Well, that's what I wanted, let's search the Demon Cave first. After speaking, Tongguang led the way in front and led Yunxi to go together.

The two hurriedly drove the clouds to the top of the demon's old cave, and Yun Xi took out an object similar to a Qiankun mirror from his bosom and shone it into the water below, searching for the whereabouts of the monster.

Tongguang looked at the small object inlaid with colorful gems in Yun Xi's hand, and was very curious, "Your Highness, can you tell me what kind of treasure the object in your hand is?"

Yun Xi didn't hide it, and Dafang told Tongguang, "This is one of the artifacts handed down from ancient times, the Qiankun Mirror." The Mirror can penetrate the surface of the water, see through the water and rocks, and if you find a youkai, the surface of the mirror will shine, indicating that there are youkai below. In addition, once the monster appears, he only needs to recite the spell, and no matter how strong the demon is, he will be easily sucked into the mirror world, and he will never escape. ”

"Oh, there is such a treasure to use against this vicious demon. Hearing that the Qiankun Mirror was so powerful, the fear in Tongguang's heart weakened a lot, and he became bolder. He secretly thought in his heart, he knew that Yun Xi had this treasure in his hand, and he should really volunteer to catch demons with Yun Xi in the palace, and when the demon capture was completed, he would also make a miraculous achievement, which would not only make up for the merits, but also make the red scales impressed with himself.

It's just that to the disappointment of Tongguang and Yunxi, when the two searched on the water for a long time, they never saw the demon appear.

Tongguang waited anxiously, and had to remind Yun Xidao, "Yunxi Palace, I'm afraid that the demon has already abandoned his lair and settled down, since we can't find him here, it's better to go to the human realm to search for one or two, maybe there will be some gains."

"That's very good, and that's what I mean. After listening to Tongguang's suggestion, Yunxi readily agreed.

The two of them first rushed to the nearest and most prosperous city to Dongting Lake, only to find that the originally lively market here has now become depressed and unoccupied, and every household has closed its doors and windows. In order to find out the truth of the matter, the two turned into mortals and went to a restaurant to knock on the door and ask.

Tongguang stepped forward, knocked politely on the door, and shouted inside, "Xiao'er open the door, we are a demon hunter Taoist passing by here, and we are here to inquire about some information from you." ”

The shopkeeper and the child in the house heard someone knocking on the door, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to open the door easily, and the two saw the people outside the door through the crack in the door, they were very polite and polite, and they didn't look fierce, so they opened the door carefully.

"Guest officer, our store is closed and will not accept passing guests. ”

"Don't accept guests? In broad daylight, something went wrong, and they didn't even accept business. Tongguang asked first.

The shopkeeper looked out the door and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he whispered, "The guest officer doesn't know, in the past two days, we have a man-eating goblin here, who came and went without a trace, and instantly swept away and ate the people he saw on the street, and there was not even a bone residue left."

I heard that up to now, there are hundreds of missing people in the town, and at this rate, our people here will be killed and eaten by the monsters in a short time. Everyone is now closed at home, cautious precautions, and life-saving priority, but even so, it can't stop the man-eating monster. As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, his hands trembled with nervousness and fear, and tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes. ”

Seeing this, Yun Xi patted the old man's shoulder with concern, and comforted him, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, the two of us are Taoist priests who specialize in killing demons and demons. ”

Yun Xi's words came out, the shopkeeper listened to it and was skeptical, he raised his head, looked at Yun Xi and Tongguang carefully, and felt that the two of them were dressed normally, looked ordinary, and there seemed to be no clever means to subdue the demon, so he sighed and said, "Hey, young man, while it's still early, hurry up and leave this place, if you're lucky, maybe you can save your lives." The only thing that can help the two of you now is that I can give you two jars of good wine, and the two strong men can drink my wine and strengthen their courage. After speaking, he asked Xiao'er to take out two jars of wine, and then got up and pushed the two out of the door.

Tongguang and Yunxi saw that the old man didn't trust the two of them, and they wanted to immediately change a spell to prove it to the old man, but they were afraid that the spell would change and frighten the old man, so they thanked the restaurant and came to the street with two jars of wine.

Bidding farewell to the restaurant, the two walked along the depressed street market, rarely encountering pedestrians along the way, and walked for a long time, but did not encounter monsters.

In order to wait for the yokai to appear, the two decided to stay in the city that night with many missing people.

With nothing to do, Tongguang simply found a clean roof of a house with Yunxi, lay on it and closed his eyes to rest. The wine sent by the two jars of the restaurant is placed nearby.

Tongguang lay down for a while, feeling bored, so he simply sat up, opened the wine of the human race, and tasted it.

He took a sip and felt that it was incomparably sweet, no less than the fine wine in the Crystal Palace, so he happily called Yunxi to taste it together.

Yun Xi has been in the heavenly realm for a long time, and he has never tasted the wine of the human race, and at this moment, he heard Tongguang say that this wine tastes very sweet, and he is itchy to open the wine jar and taste a few sips.

The wine of this human race is indeed extraordinary, a sip of it is very mellow, and another sip is full of sweetness, the two of them do not feel addicted to alcohol, they simply sit on the roof, one person and one altar, and drink the wine to the bottom.

After drinking, the two of them felt sleepy and drowsy, so they fell asleep, and this sleep was not tight, and they slept for several hours. When the two of them opened their drunken eyes, they saw that the moon had climbed into the sky, and the stars above them were shining and twinkling.

Yun Xi glanced at the position of the moon, immediately calculated the approximate time, and reproached himself, "Hey, I'm really confused, I know that drinking is wrong, and I just drank a large jar of human wine. It almost made a big mistake, Tongguang, you get up quickly, the two of us are going to patrol and catch demons. ”

Tongguang stood up lazily and muttered, "Hey, I can't imagine that the wine of this human race is better than the wine of our Crystal Palace, I drank that old wine, and I am still dizzy." ”

Yun Xi didn't answer, and immediately flew up in the clouds, hurriedly patrolling the night sky of the city.

Tongguang knew that he had made a mistake, and he felt guilty, so he hurriedly followed Yunxi's whereabouts.

However, the strange thing is that since Da Yunxi and Tongguang came to the city where demons are rampant, the demons suddenly disappeared without a trace, and there was no news.

Yun Xi and Tong Guang didn't close their eyes all night, searched everywhere, but never found the shadow of the demon, so they had to return to the Crystal Palace sullenly.

When Yun Xi and Tong Guang left with their front feet, the demon immediately slipped out of the hiding place, and he was like a dark cloud, floating suddenly, and it didn't take a single cup of tea to easily take the lives of dozens of human races.

So repeatedly, every time Yunxi and Tongguang patrolled, they couldn't find any trace of the demon, and once the two left, the demon repeated the same trick. The demon's trick made Yun Xi and Tongguang grit their teeth in anger.

Tongguang complained, "Yunxi Palace, didn't you say that you have the Qiankun Treasure Mirror? Why can't you see that monster after searching and searching? If this continues, the human race in my Dongting Realm will be eaten by the demons." This demon devours the soul and body of the human race day by day, and his demonic power is bound to grow rapidly, but I am afraid that in some time, you and I will not be his opponents. ”

Although Yunxi was annoyed, after listening to Tongguang's complaints, he could only hold back the anxiety in his heart and patiently explained.

"This Qiankun Treasure Mirror has always been very effective, but this time, it can't show the whereabouts of the monster, which is really puzzling.

However, I still have a trick to use, and since the demon is so cunning, I have to sacrifice my trick to force him to manifest. ”
