The twilight is heavy, and the dusk is coming to an end.

Outside Kaifeng City, it was said that there was a person, who walked with an umbrella and walked in the rain, and was a man who looked like a double ten, it was Su Hongxin.

He chewed a piece of grass stalk in his mouth, hummed an unknown tune, and carried a long object wrapped in gray cloth behind his back, wearing the dress of a scholar, but his physique was tall and burly, and what was even more surprising was that he actually had short hair on his head, and he walked like a fly, and he came chic and comfortable.

At the gate of the city, I saw a crowd of people in the distance.

I saw that on the old and gray city wall, a few notices were pasted, and a group of people gathered around the side and pointed.

The rain had subsided, and there were still two men dressed as officials standing under the notice, holding torches, as if waiting for something.

Su Hongxin took a closer look, and saw a few notices with portraits painted on them, hey, it was a coincidence that they were the ones he met in the mountains, and the notices said that they had been missing for several days and their whereabouts were unknown.

In addition, what interested him the most was a sign that was half-wet in the rain, and there was a hideous and strange portrait of a mandrill, but it was a reward, inviting the masters to enter the mountain to eliminate the demon, and whoever killed this man-eating demon could get eight hundred taels of silver.

"Oh, do you see, I heard that the young master of the Li family went to Yishan a few days ago to play and watch the scenery, and has not returned yet, and the young lady of the Chen family went up the mountain to burn incense and Buddha, and there is no news of this time, I heard that the servants in the yamen have searched back and forth on the mountain, and they can't see anyone alive or dead. ”

"There is a Buddhist temple on that mountain, how can there be any mountain spirits and wild monsters!"

"In the past few months, haven't you invited a few monks and Taoists in the government?"

"Don't mention it, I heard that I never came down since I went to Yishan, and the evil sect is very evil!"

......

The crowd was talking.

Su Hongxin listened to it for a while, and thought that the Yishan in the mouths of these people was the mountain he came down from.

"It's kind of interesting!"

However, he immediately realized that something was wrong, but he noticed that someone was paying attention to him, and as soon as the other party's gaze fell, he didn't move anymore, how keen his martial senses were, and with a slight glance in his eyes, he saw that the two servants were staring at him, and their lips opened and closed slightly, as if they were whispering to each other.

Su Hongxin followed the shape of the two people's mouths and read it silently in his heart, and immediately smiled bitterly. At the beginning, he and Yanzi Li San's old thief had been in the house for a long time, and he had also seen a lot of some sideways methods, and this lip language was one of them, although it was not exquisite, but it was a little useful at this time.

This thought, a sentence was recited.

"Young Master Li's clothes!"

Su Hongxin smiled bitterly and withdrew from the crowd, and then looked at the clothes on his body, this was originally for convenience, but he didn't want to be self-defeating, but it was good, but he got into trouble.

Seeing that he intended to leave, the two officials glanced at each other, and each of them actually touched the waist knife, and if they disagreed, they were about to do it.

"This brother is slow!"

However, one of them suddenly pressed his colleague on the side and greeted Su Hongxin.

Seeing this, Su Hongxin retreated a little, and he really didn't want to have any conflicts with these officials, since there was a misunderstanding, it was resolved.

Seeing him stop, the official stepped forward and asked, "I don't know where the clothes and the umbrella come from?"

"I picked it up from Mt. Yi!"

As soon as Su Hongxin lifted the umbrella, the official's face changed suddenly in fright, and he was busy like a frightened rabbit, jumping half a meter high and retreating, most likely because he saw his eyes.

It's just that as soon as he mentioned Yishan, the people at the gate of the city who were originally paused to watch the notice made a "whoosh", and ran away in a blink of an eye, which was simply a crawl.

"You said you came down from Mount Yi?"

The official saw that Su Hongxin was standing in place and there was nothing unusual, so he asked with a little apprehension.

"Yes!"

Su Hongxin nodded.

The officer continued to tremble, "Have you ever ...... Have you ever ......"

"Mandrill?"

Su Hongxin asked rhetorically.

The official nodded hurriedly.

Su Hongxin said bluntly: "I've seen it, five, all of them were killed by me!"

"Goo-toot!"

The two officials looked at each other.

"You said you killed the mandrill?

Su Hongxin smiled, but it was okay if he didn't laugh, he smiled, and the two errand servants only felt that their legs and feet were weak, trembling all over, and sweating.

"There is a small temple on the mountainside, and the five mandrills are in it, if you don't believe it, you can go up the mountain tomorrow to find out, as for the owner of this clothes, he is dead, I am afraid he will not be able to find it!"

Ignoring the reactions of the two, while they were distracted, Su Hongxin hurriedly quickened his pace and slipped into the city, and then walked quickly on the street, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he ran a long distance and walked to a secluded place.

But he didn't think it would end so simply.

The old city is old, there is a light rain in the night, running all the way down, Su Hongxin can't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest at this time, he doesn't know where he is at all, so he can only walk aimlessly to see if he can find a place to stay.

After walking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw that an inn in front of him was still lit up, and he hurried over, but when he was about to enter the door, he bumped out of the door.

"Let's go!"

The contents of his arms also fell to the ground.

I'm afraid that the fall will hurt too much, and the man will lie on the ground for a long time, and he can't get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Su Hongxin on the side wanted to step forward to help him, but his eyes suddenly slanted and glanced at it, and he saw a painting falling on the ground at his feet, the picture scroll was unfolded, and on the painting paper, the painting was a woman's back, not seeing each other, as if she was combing her hair;

"My paintings, my paintings!"

The man on the ground was anxious and panicked, and when he saw the painting falling in front of Su Hongxin, he didn't care about it, crawled over, and then rolled the painting on the ground carefully, and then hurried into the rain.

Su Hongxin's eyelids twitched when he stood in place and watched, thoughtfully, I don't know if it was an illusion, when the man collected the painting just now, he seemed to see the woman in the painting, the wooden comb that was originally pressed on the shoulder and neck, seemed to have moved down a little.

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, so he turned around and walked towards the inn.

But this time he still didn't enter the door, and the guy in the inn didn't know when he was blocking the door with a whistle stick in his hand.

"Go, go, we're not doing business tonight!"

The little guy looked at the age of double ten, although he said cruel words in his mouth, his legs trembled, he kept trembling, and his eyes looked directly at Su Hongxin's eyes, full of fear.

Su Hong sighed confidently, if he lived in, it was estimated that the front foot would enter, and the back foot would be able to report to the official, in order to be idle, he didn't force it, turned around and continued to look for a place.

This time, I don't know how long I walked, Su Hongxin stopped, but he saw an ancestral hall not far away, and he was immediately happy, but when he got closer, he was surprised.

I saw that the wooden door of the ancestral hall was closed, and on the head of the door, there were three eye-catching big characters.

"Bao Gong Ancestral Hall!"
