Chapter 13: Set off to fight demons
Sima Wenkang returned to the main hall.
The four of them are ready to go. Ye Zhi pointed his finger, and the big wooden sword hung up, although it was the largest sword, a young man and three teenagers still squeezed it.
"Just hold on tight!" Xiang Nan said.
The second senior brother controls the sword, and he must be at the forefront. The three teenagers looked at each other, Tong Yuyang rolled his eyes, followed Ye Zhi on the sword, hugged Ye Zhi, Bai Yuelan hurriedly took a step back, there is still a difference between men and women.
Ding Rong rolled his eyes, and could only go up to the sword to hug Tong Yuyang's waist, Tong Yuyang turned around and grinned.
Bai Yuelan finally put on the sword, and her cool hand wrapped her arms around Ding Rong's waist.
The sword flew out with a "brush".
Ding Rong didn't hug this junior brother who was taller than himself. In her eyes, although he is tall, Tong Yuyang is a junior high school student! How can she always get together with teenage children as a college student in the new era?
Unexpectedly, the wind at sea was quite strong, and her loosely held arms almost didn't hook. She and Bai Yuelan shook for a while, and almost dropped their swords.
Ye Zhi stopped his sword and turned his head to look at the three teenagers behind him. The three teenagers also glared at him.
He sighed in his heart, and pinched Tong Yuyang's arm that was hugging him, in the end, the boy was still stronger. He pulled his arm away, stretched back his right hand, picked up Tong Yuyang's back collar, threw him off, and threw him behind Bai Yuelan.
The position in front of him suddenly vacant, and Ding Rong subconsciously reached out and grabbed Ye Zhi's shirt. Ye Zhi grabbed the girl's slender wrist and pulled it forward, and Ding Rong could only walk up and hug Ye Zhi's waist.
...... Ding Rong couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and his heart was happy.
"Everyone, hold on tight!" Ye Zhi ordered.
Ding Rong and Bai Yuelan both tightened their arms, only Tong Yuyang rolled his eyes and hugged the little junior sister in front of him, Bai Yuelan stiffened, but it was not easy to protest.
The sound of heartbeat came faintly, and the warm body temperature, Ding Rong couldn't help but want to feel whether the body under the palm of his hand was so strong and powerful, but his fingers moved, Ye Zhi had already turned around, and said in a small volume above her head that only the two of them could hear...... Move!"
...... The second senior brother had already seen through her intentions. Ding Rong's fingers froze, not daring to move.

Edgeworth flew very fast, and soon reached his destination: the town of Toyoya in the Great Kingdom.
In the whole continent, the region with pleasant climate, abundant products and relatively the most favorable weather is the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The farms in Fenggu Town have always grown rice, and the harvest has always been good, although there are many voles, but there has never been a large rodent infestation. Unexpectedly, this year's rain is too much, floods everywhere, rice production has also decreased a lot, and people still can't eat enough, so they look at the rice in the field very closely, and the voles will definitely be killed when they see them.
After a few months of making trouble, the voles were almost extinct. However, since the end of last month, children have been stolen from the town of Fenggu at night. The children who began to be stolen were usually small babies, and slowly, even the children of a few years old began to be lost, and as long as the children were alone, there were gray figures jumping in the window, carrying the children and running. One boy was so bold that he struggled as he was carried, and grabbed at the figure, so that a tuft of grayish-black hair was left on the ground.
These hairs were sent to the peace concept with the most incense in the town, and the old Taoist priest in the temple was asked to find a way. The old Taoist priest was well-informed, and at first glance, he said that he was a rat demon, and hurriedly said that he wanted to find the help of the immortals who practiced, and coaxed the villagers back, but he escaped from Fenggu Town overnight, and he didn't know where to go.
The people who lost the children in the town summed up the clues, and finally an old man who got up in the middle of the night said that he saw the monsters that carried the children away, and from the round body, they looked like giant mice, so it proved that the old Taoist priest said that the rat demon was true. Families in the town who lost their children wept, and families with children became even more nervous. There are not many children left, and many young adults work shifts at night to patrol the neighborhoods.
Ye Zhi took the three teenagers into Fenggu Town, inquired in the town for a while, and found that the children who were lost now were getting older and older, and even the children of eight or nine years old were lost.
He thought for a while, half-bent down, and asked a middle-aged woman on the side of the road who was carrying a burden to buy and sell side dishes: "Auntie, how many children under the age of ten are there in the town?"
The middle-aged woman walked the streets of the town every day, and she knew the situation very well, and when she saw the four of them dressed as cultivators, she hurriedly asked, "Are you Dao Masters here to subdue demons?"
The four nodded.
The woman hurriedly provided the information: "There are already dozens of children lost in the town, and now the left, under the age of ten, are probably only three or four, there is a family surnamed Zeng in the east of the town, there is a boy about eight years old, and there are two children in the west of the town, a man and a girl." ”
Ye Zhi and the three teenagers combined, and decided that Tong Yuyang, Ding Rong, and Bai Yuelan would each guard a child, and in the current situation, it was the most effective way to wait for the rabbit.
In the end, Ye Zhi thought about it and said the important words again: "Do you still remember Master's instructions? If you can't win the battle, the future will be long, and there is still a chance, you can not fight hard, try to escape, and save your life!"
The three young men all felt the concern of the master and the senior brothers, and nodded together.
After the second senior brother finished instructing, he disappeared without a trace.

According to the woman's prompt, Tong Yuyang found the family with children in the east of the town.
This is a poor family, a two-year-old girl has disappeared, leaving a boy about eight or nine years old. When Tong Yuyang looked in through the leaky window, he found him skinny and ragged, eating with his family. His mother and the old lady of the house put the little food left in his bowl and said, "Eat enough, and your mother will take you to bed later." ”
"I'm standing guard at your door, and I'll see which monster dares to come and rob people!" the emaciated father patted his chest and said magnificently.
The child's mother ate a few small bites of rice and poured the rice from her own bowl into her son's bowl, seeing that her son's eyes were full of love. Although poor, this child is very happy, no matter what, this child must be saved. Tong Yuyang made up his mind.
The children guarded by Ding Rong and Bai Yuelan did not live far away, and the gates were only a few feet apart. Both families are relatively wealthy, and the whole family is nervously holding pitchforks and sticks on guard, and the child's father or mother holds the child tightly in his arms.
The three teenagers are hiding in the shadows outside the house, their eyes wide open, daggers clenched in their hands, and they will face the first spirit hunt in their lives.
When night fell, it began to drizzle again.
The teenagers are getting more and more nervous, although the cultivation time is not long, but they can feel the fluctuation of spiritual power, it seems that something is really going to happen tonight.
