"Yu'er, I knew you were here. Liu Zhiyang came to the library.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Lou Wenyu tinkered with the things in his hand while reading the book.

"What are you working on?"

"Nothing, a little gadget. ”

"I see that you have nothing to do, why don't you go and collect the demons and scatter your mind?" Liu Zhiyang wanted to find something to keep him busy, and he would slowly forget about it.

"Senior brother and senior sister are going?"

"Go, you go together. ”

"Yes, Master. Where? When to leave?"

"Don't worry, you've just returned, rest today, and you'll go early tomorrow morning. Remember to call your senior brother and sister tomorrow to find a teacher. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

On the second day, Lou Wenyu called Xia Mingxuan and Liu Ling to find Liu Zhiyang.

"Master, you command. ”

"The three of you go to Mingyang Mountain, where the mountain people will not be able to live in peace every night. This demon has been cultivated for thousands of years, and his skills are profound. It can be transformed into three forms. During the day, he disguised himself as a man, and at night he appeared in his original form to plague the mountain people. Be careful when you go. ”

"Got it, Master, let's go. ”

......

In the palace, there has been no peace in recent days. Assassins frequently entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, but fortunately, Yi Ze and Qi Hao were strong in martial arts.

"Emperor Qi, one of the assassins has been captured, and upon interrogation, he claims to have been instructed by the Sixth Prince. But after the villain checked, most of this person looked like Ningxia people. He has a patterned tattoo on his back, a figure of which has been seen before. Qi Hao came to report to the emperor.

"Sixth Prince, it won't be him. Among the princes, he is the most distressed about my younger brother. ”

"The emperor is right, it must be a false accusation. ”

"In recent years, the border of Ningxia has not been peaceful, and the troops sent have won several battles. The border is safe. I didn't expect to come to the palace so soon. It seems that this Ningxia country is anxious to join the life. The emperor paced back and forth.

"Please rest assured that the villain has strengthened his manpower to ensure that the emperor is safe and sound. ”

"We know you can do it. It's just too passive. The enemy is in the dark, and the alliance is in the light. If you go to interrogate them again, they must have a place to live here, and if they find them, they will be killed. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Qi Hao walked out of the hall and went to the dark prison. The emperor has a forbidden army, and the forbidden army only serves the emperor. All those who were captured were locked up in hell.

The Ningxia State sent Lin Wu, the confidant of General Li, who had made great achievements in the country. This person is skilled in martial arts and has foresight. It's a talent.

Since Ningxia was hunted down and expelled from the Central Plains by the Emperor of the Central Plains, it has gradually declined from a large central country to a small country. Over the years, through several generations of emperors, it slowly began to develop, until today it is not to be underestimated. and even endanger the Central Plains. They vowed to occupy the Central Plains and repay the country's shame.

Qi Hao ordered people to secretly investigate, and finally found Ningxia people in a private house in the south of the city. Qi Hao and Yi Ze led the forbidden army to surround the courtyard. When they fired rockets into the courtyard, and the courtyard was in shambles, they entered the courtyard and captured all the small soldiers, and they all committed suicide after being caught. The man who took the lead and a few guards flew away.

"Keep chasing. Qi Hao gave an order.

......

"My lord, where are we going now? There are pursuers behind us. "The guards of Ningxia asked the leader.

"It's not far from Mingyang Mountain, and it's easy to hide from the mountain. After returning to Ningxia, I will make plans. ”

"Yes. The four of them ran in the direction of Mingyang Mountain.

Xia Mingxuan and the three of them have arrived at Mingyang Mountain. They decided to ask the villagers first. They came to the village and came to a house.

"Auntie, isn't it too peaceful here lately?"

An old woman saw the stranger and hurried into the house.

"Auntie, don't be afraid. We won't hurt you, we're passing through, I heard that it's not peaceful here, I want to ask you first, and we'll change our course. Xia Mingxuan saw that the aunt was so scared, so he stepped forward and said to the aunt.

"Oh, let's come into the yard, it's just a little shabby, don't be disgusted. "The aunt came out of the house.

"Whatever the aunt says, we still have to bother the aunt and beg for saliva to drink. The three entered the courtyard.

The aunt beckoned the three of them to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard. "Recently, in Mingyang Mountain, a monster has appeared, and it will come out at night to rob the young and unmarried girls in the family. Now in the village, a small number of girls have been arrested, and some of the rest have sent the girls to relatives in other places. This person's heart was panicked, and everyone was uneasy. Ay...... I'm the only one left in my family. ”

"Auntie, what about your family?" asked Auntie.

"The previous years were gone. ”

"What is the latest monster? Why do you want to rob girls?

"No one has ever seen what it looks like, but at night, there is a sound. The girl has been taken away. The day after the girl was arrested, a strand of the girl's hair appeared in the house, and there was no news from him since. I don't know if it's dead or alive. Ah, what a sin this has been? ”

"Auntie, then you just said that some families in the village have sent away all the girls in the village, will that monster still come at night?" Lou Wenyu asked.

"It's been a few days since then, and who knows if it's going to plague neighboring villages again. You'd better divert your route. This girl must not be out of the cabinet, but she has to be careful. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, let's leave it at that. The three of them walked away.

......

"We're right here, waiting for the opportunity to do things after dark. The three of them waited in a cave not far from the village.

"Good. ”

As night fell, it was pouring rain outside. A couple of people are heading here.

"Senior brother, senior sister, listen, there are footsteps at the entrance of the cave, come in. ”

A few people at the entrance of the cave walked inside and said, "My lord, let's rest here tonight." Tomorrow we will set off again to return to Ningxia. ”

"Well, it's raining so hard tonight, and I don't think they're going to chase them here. Lin Wu said.

A few were about to continue walking towards the cave, when Lou Wenyu came out, "Who are you?"

"Childe, excuse me. We are merchants, and these are my retinue. Passing by here, I was originally walking on the main road, but I encountered a gang of robbers and robbed all the goods. We're scared too. So take the trail. Tonight there was a sudden heavy rain, and I want to rest here for the night, and tomorrow we will leave. ”

Xia Mingxuan walked over, "Since it's also to hide from the rain, then come in." ”

"Childe, the honorable name, we are here tonight, and we are also fated. Lin Wuzuo asked.

"The surname is Xia, and the name will not be left, and there will only be this side of the fate in this life. ”

"Well, too. After that, the cave was all right, and they did not offend each other.

"Senior brother, these people obviously have martial arts, especially the person who spoke to you just now, he has deep internal skills, and he will not be a businessman. ”

"Regardless of him, as long as they are safe, we will not meddle in our affairs. It's important to get down to business. ”

"Hmm. Senior brother is right. ”

I spent the whole night in peace. There was no movement outside. The monster did not appear.

On the second day, the sky cleared. Lin Wu left with his men.

"Senior brother, why don't we go to the nearby village and have a look?" Liu Ling asked Xia Mingxuan.

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. ”

After about half an hour, the three of them came to another village. As soon as I entered the entrance of the village, I could hear a family crying so miserably from a distance.

"Quick, let's go see"

They saw that the door of a house was already full of people.

"This old girl from the Wu family was arrested last night. You see that there is a strand of hair left today. ”

"It's really pitiful, I heard that this happened in the next village a few days ago, and most of them sent their girls away. The villagers were talking.

Xia Mingxuan pushed through the crowd and entered the house. "Dare to ask the old man, did you hear any movement last night?"

The old man has sat paralyzed on the ground, the family's surname is Wu, and the old man and a girl depend on each other at home.

The girl is gone, and the old man has no thoughts.

"Last night, it was raining heavily, and I didn't hear any sound, but when I looked at it this morning, my daughter was gone. The old man was exhausted from crying, and his voice was weak.

"Uncle, don't worry, if the girl is still alive, we will bring her back safely. ”

"Child, I have received your wishes, but ...... You'd better go. The old man continued to wipe away tears.

Out of the house, Lou Wenyu said to Xia Mingxuan: "Senior brother, there is no sound here, the girl is gone." How do I find monsters?"

"Look elsewhere and ask if there are any new people who have moved here recently. Xia Mingxuan suddenly thought of what Master had said that this demon would turn into a human form during the day and only act at night.

"Yes, Daddy said that. Liu Ling looked at Xia Mingxuan with admiration.

They inquired from passers-by that there was a family who had just moved in and lived in the east end of the village, next to an old locust tree.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw a woman doing laundry. Xia Mingxuan stepped forward, "Sister-in-law, begging for saliva to drink, can it be convenient?"

The woman looked up at the three of them and said, "Isn't there a family at the entrance of the village in front of you, why did you come to the innermost part of this village to beg for water?"

"That's right, but the girl is gone, and the old man is crying very sadly, and we can't bother it anymore. That's where it is. Lou Wenyu saw that the woman ignored them, and he was very suspicious in his heart. Recently, there has been an accident in the village, and the villagers are extremely wary of outsiders. But the woman had a calm and calm expression.

"I'm sorry, everyone, the father-in-law and father-in-law at home are not at home, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, you better find another place. The woman went into the house.

......

"Senior brother, this woman must be suspicious. Lou Wenyu told them what he had just suspected.

"Yes, I doubt it too. Let's wait and see. ”

After a few days of observation, they found the home to be unusual. On that day, I heard from the woman that her father-in-law and father-in-law had gone out, but they were not seen in the courtyard. A few days later, her father-in-law and father-in-law appeared in the courtyard one after another. And none of the three will appear at the same time, there is only one person.

"Senior brother, no girl has been arrested recently. But this family is so strange. The family never sees each other, only one person will appear. ”

"The junior brother is right, but it is not appropriate to do it now, it is not certain, and it is not possible to act rashly. We'll only have to wait for her to move back into the night. Let's wait. ”

One quiet night, the moon was blocked by dark clouds, and it was pitch black. A dark shadow, which should be the one of an animal, quickly ran towards a house in the village.
