The stove reflected the firelight, the crickets under the stove danced and their long whiskers whispered, and suddenly the firewood with sparks burned and fell, and they jumped out in shock.

Outside eaves.

After a few bowls of wine, Liu Roll grabbed his son on the side, sat opposite Lu Liangsheng, and took a deep breath to think about what happened in the last two days.

"Mr. Lu, don't dare to hide, the last two days in the town has been full of strange things, first someone lost a chicken and dog at home, and then began to die, no injuries on the body, and thought it was a violent death, and he checked the corpse, and found that a drop of blood in the body of the family was gone, at first I thought it was a ghost, and every household was pasted with rune paper, bronze mirrors, and scissors at the door of the house, and the next day another household died, and the matter was not good, I went to the county government with these two brothers to report the case, and by the way to see if I could meet the passing Youfang Daoist, please come and help subdue the demon. ”

Liu Roll talked about what happened, and the other two nodded, proving that this is indeed the case, this kind of thing is concealed and faked, unless the brain is caught by the door.

Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly, and continued to ask, "Before the death, there were no other strange things happening?"

Over there, Liu Luo, who was thinking about things, was stunned when he heard the question, and he was a little embarrassed to squeeze out a smile.

"I slept so heavily that I didn't pay attention. ”

The two people next to them looked at each other, and one of them arched his hand towards the scholar and said, "Mr. Lu, we do know that when we were drinking at home that night and died in the second family, most of the dogs in the town were barking, did the monsters come into the town?"

Lu Liangsheng, who had experienced a lot of ghosts and demons, didn't have too many emotional changes about these anymore, and nodded calmly.

"Beasts are naturally sensitive to danger, and if it weren't for the approaching of something dangerous or unfamiliar, the dogs in the town wouldn't bark like that, and there would be nothing else?"

When the two of them, including Liu Rolling on the side, shook their heads, the latter suddenly slapped his palms, pinched the bench and moved forward.

"Mr. Lu, in Hezhou County, I overheard one thing, saying that on the road more than 100 miles outside the city, many flags and frames were found, but no one saw them, and the horses were gone. ”

Tuyuhun?

Lu Liangsheng's brows tightened, the capital had fought with the other party, and it was indeed time to get here after counting the itinerary, how could he suddenly disappear with people and horses.

Seeing that the scholar was silent and did not speak, Liu Roll and the three of them did not dare to come out, their throat rolled, swallowed their saliva, and squeezed out the words in a low voice.

"Mr. Lu, could it have something to do with what we have in town?"

"There is no connection. ”

Hearing the three of them, Lu Liangsheng waved his hand lightly, and put aside the disappearance of the Tuyuhun envoy for the time being, "That's the matter of the government, for now, let's talk about the monsters in this Jishi Town." ”

After a pause, his eyes glanced at the child in Liu Roll's arms.

"Let me ask you, did the two families that died have children in their families?"

The three of them looked down and recalled, after all, they were not familiar with each other, and they were not very clear about the situation at home, so they only went to see the excitement after the incident.

After a while, Liu Roll raised his head: "It seems to be." ”

"Hmm. Lu Liangsheng had only been to the morgue to see one before, and when he came to Liu's house, he saw that the folded amulet around Liu Boqin's neck was black, and he probably guessed some eyebrows.

"Tonight is the third day, and the monster will definitely come, so you can take your two brothers and your wife back to the room first, and let Birchin and me sit under the eaves. ”

"Well, listen to sir. ”

Liu rolled up and took two steps, reacted, and hurriedly sat back on the stool, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly: "Mr. Lu, you mean, that monster is coming to my house tonight?"

"Probably already on the way. ”

Lu Liangsheng pulled the ignorant little man from his arms, and twisted his fingertips to show him the rune paper he gave back then, and the corner of the yellow talisman that overlapped into a triangle was already completely black, so shocked that Liu Roll over there was trembling all over, and the face of the wife who followed closely on the side was even more pale.

"How..... It's dark..... Yesterday was fine. ”

If it weren't for Lu Liangsheng pointing it out, the couple wouldn't have noticed it at all, Liu Luan pulled his wife and was about to kneel in front of Lu Liangsheng, "Mr. Lu, please save Boqin, my husband and wife will be a cow and a horse for you." ”

The bent knees of the two were stopped by something that could not be seen, Lu Liangsheng raised his hand to help the husband and wife up, "I said before, I came here for this matter, you go in first." ”

The husband and wife glanced at each other, looked at their son again, still believed the scholar in front of them, nodded, and called the two brothers over there to go back to the bedroom and close the door together.

Under the eaves, the two-and-a-half-year-old boy saw his parents enter the room, his chubby little face was anxious, and he raised his little hand and swayed to knock on the door.

"Birchin, come here, I'll give you something fun. ”

The words came from behind him, the villain was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Liangsheng stretching out his wide sleeve with one hand, blinking his eyes curiously, and finally couldn't help but move his small steps over.

"Look at it. ”

While Lu Liangsheng was smiling and talking, the Fa Yin passed into his sleeve, "Master, tease this little baby." ’

"You!!, is that kind of funny ....... as a teacher?"

In the sleeve, the toad Daoren's green tendons bulged, and as soon as he turned over and sat up, he was held in the palm of the apprentice and brought out of the sleeve, with bean-sized toad eyes and a pair of curious eyes.

The words behind the toad suddenly stopped, his cheeks bulged, and he glared at the toad fiercely: "...... Look at it again, the old man will eat you in one bite!"

Looking at the big toad standing in the palm of the person's hand talking, the little man was stunned, the corners of his mouth suddenly opened, he giggled happily, clapped his hands excitedly and wanted the toad to continue talking.

"The ..... of Bi Ru Niang"

"Giggle~~"

"Smirk, be careful that the old man really eats you!"

"Hehehe....."

Lu Liangsheng looked at the master, who could fight with children a few times, smiled, looked away from the dark courtyard, and quietly cast a spell to cover up his own cultivation and master's Taoism.

The night breeze blew quietly through the courtyard, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the courtyard swayed gently in the wind.

Rushing~~

Outside the courtyard, the river flows, and a layer of mist gradually spreads on the dirt road in the distance, spreading along the ground over the wooden bridge, and there is a faint whisper in the fog.

"That's it...... There are children under the age of three in the family. ”

"This time the child is mine, and the adult is yours. ”

"Hehe, it's hard to get out of it..... Be sure to eat your fill. ”

Wangwang~~

In the dark night, the dog on the Zhuangzi barked violently, and the spreading fog faintly floated with two figures, one tall and one short.

"These dogs are a real annoying ......"

"After eating people, kill these beasts, don't delay the hour, go in quickly, finish eating, leave tomorrow, and see what the Northwest Demon King has to do when he gathers the demons." ”

The fog spread, and the two lanterns that swayed slightly in the wind were extinguished together, and the darkness pushed the edge of the dissipated light to envelop the entire courtyard gate.

In the courtyard, in a room with warm yellow lights, Liu Roll and the four of them listened to the movement outside against the window lattice and the door, in addition to the laughter of their son, there was also an old voice talking.

"Did you hear that..... How can you get an extra voice?"

When Liu Roll turned his head to look at the two brothers next to him, the oil lamp on the table suddenly went out brightly, and it was instantly extinguished after a few shakes.

"What's going on?"

The woman screamed in fright, but her husband next to her reached out to cover her mouth: "Don't make a sound, it seems that there is movement." ”

As a soldier, Liu Roll and the other two are more sensitive to wind and grass, and the wind seems to be blowing in the yard.

Whew......

The wind whimpered and ran across the yard, the old trees in the courtyard shook their branches and leaves, and Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting under the eaves, brushed his shoulders, he raised his eyes, felt the demonic aura spreading, and smiled.

"Sure enough, it came to the door. ”

The toad man standing in the palm of his hand shook his tongue to make a grimace to tease the child and waved his frog flippers.

"Two little demons, I'm not interested in being a teacher. ”

The moment the words fell, smoke seeped in through the gap in the courtyard gate, and rummaged in the courtyard, and I also saw a scholar sitting under the eaves, holding a big toad in clothes and teasing a child.

"Hmm? How can there be a scholar? ”

“...... There is also a large toad. ”

The white mist gradually dispersed, revealing two figures, one tall and one short, with a green face and shaved cheeks, big scarlet eyes, and another pointed mouth and long whiskers facing outward, slightly arched back, like a mouse, with yellow nails and sharp scratches across the ground, turning up mud crumbs, and smiling gloomily.

"We just ate together. ”

On the side, while the blue-faced and shaved figure carefully looked at the scholar, he saw the toad in his hand, and in the next second, his scarlet eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly took a step back.

"Let's go...... Walk...... It's ...... him."

Tilting their heads one by one: "Who?"

The slender and retreating blue-faced demon didn't know whether it was screaming in fright or roaring, and its voice trembled a little at this time.

"Purple Smoke Old Demon. ”

The hair on the rat spirit's body stood up in an instant, his eyes tightened, his yellowed front teeth were wide open, and his whole body trembled.

"The one who eats people and eats countless demons? Why is he here!

Turning around and about to escape the white mist, the scholar under the eaves got up, waved the sleeves of his robe, pinched out the law with his fingers, and the old tree shook in the wind, countless branches crackled and unfolded, and the vines stretched rapidly, sweeping towards the two monsters.

"Leave it all for me!"
