In the early morning of the next day, the peaceful Meridian Town exploded, because in this small town that had always been calm, the god stick Ai Goro Ai Banxian died tragically on the street last night.

Meridian Town was not very big, and as soon as the news came out, it immediately spread in the town.

Near noon, Qiu Yan and Dong Mei from the Li Mansion finished buying vegetables and returned to the house with a panicked look on their cabbage.

"Two sisters, is something happening in the town?" It was rare to see the maid with such a look, and Li Ge, who was sitting in the courtyard reading a book, asked curiously.

"Young Master, that Ai Banxian who came to our house not long ago has died. ”

"Dead, how is this possible?" said Liger, looking incredulous.

"It's dead, indeed. The two maids looked around at each other, and then went to the kitchen with Cailan.

"Alas~ Then Uncle Ai also has some skills, why did he die like this?" With a long sigh, the young master of the Li family felt a little more emotional, and he didn't think much about it, and opened the book in his hand again.

In September, the cool street was lonely, suddenly like a night of sad wind, several houses were dumb, and they didn't hear the baby's voice.

The town of Meridian, shrouded in night, was unusually quiet under the full moon in late autumn, and there was not even a single dog barking in the entire huge town. A gust of cold wind blew on the deserted night street, and on a post road at the east end of the village, two figures walked slowly towards the town, and above them, a large flock of crows circled.

"Ghost Gang, since you killed a Taoist priest last night, why don't you kill the newborn baby in this town. In the two figures, a graceful woman's tone was full of murderous intent.

"You can't startle the snake first when you beat the grass, Lord Lingfang said that the fate of the world was born in this town, and in order to prevent anyone from intervening to stop it, we must kill all the children under the age of three in this town overnight, so as not to cause trouble. "The figure called Ghost Gang is a man, his body flashes with a blue circle of light, and his body floats in the air half a foot above the ground, although the figure in the blue light is solid, but if you look closely, you can indeed find that he is a ghost and spirit.

"Alright then, we must get rid of this scourge tonight. The curvaceous woman's eyes flashed with murder, her body shook, and she turned into a black blue and white python about four or five zhang long.

'Dumb~'''Dumb~' As the woman turned into a snake, the group of crows above her head let out a strange cry and flew towards Meridian Town, and then a snake and a ghost also followed the crows into the town.

A massacre began quietly in the silent night, without whining or screaming, and the slaughter quietly came to an end in the middle of the hour.

"Snake Mei, how many have you killed?" Oni Gang's glowing blue spirit floated on the edge of the town, looking at the graceful woman who was walking towards him.

"Sixty-two. The woman's beautiful face showed a cruel smile, and then she walked to the blue ghost and said, "It's here, let's go back and restore our lives." ”

Immediately, the figures of the two slowly disappeared on a post road on the edge of Meridian Town.

Overnight, all the babies under the age of three in this small Meridian Town died mysteriously, a total of one hundred and thirteen, and the whole town was shrouded in desolation.

The yamen sent troops to investigate for two or three days, but did not find the slightest clue, and finally had to report the strange incident to the top one by one.

After the peaceful town experienced this tragic incident, nothing strange happened in the follow-up, until the seventh day after the incident, the imperial court sent a few thaumaturgical warriors, and after some inspection, nothing unusual was found, and the incident here was also drawn a sentence here.

After another five days, a white-haired old Taoist priest in a blue Taoist robe walked towards the town with a happy face, he was the Lai Lao Dao Lai Changsheng who was going to accept Li Ge as an apprentice, and behind the old Dao there were two people of the same age as him.

The two of them were a monk, and the old monk was wearing a gray coarse cloth robe, slightly chubby, and full of compassion. The old Taoist priest wore a red robe, silver hair and white beard, and had a bit of an immortal temperament.

"Old bald man, old demon Dao, I said can you hurry up?" Lai Changsheng, who was hurrying in front, glanced at the two behind him, and scolded, "You two old things, are you unwilling to see that I have found an apprentice?"

"Amitabha, Lai Lao Dog, don't bark like a mad dog, you are barking at the poor monk, so you won't go. The old monk roared angrily and stopped.

"Qingxu, don't be like this old mad dog, let's go quickly. The red-clothed old man patted the old monk on the back, and the two of them immediately took another step.

"You are the old mad dog, everyone in your Maoshan faction is a mad dog, look at you, you are so old, you still love to wear red, and you are not afraid that young people will see the joke. Old man Lai looked at the old man in red and scolded sharply, his face full of anger.

"Haha~ Lao Tzu is not as knowledgeable as you. Seeing Lai Changsheng staring at him with bulging eyes, the red-clothed old Taoist showed a burst of laughter.

In the midst of a scolding conversation between the three of them, after a short time, they entered the town and came to the Li Mansion.

"When I arrived, my apprentice stayed here. Lai Laodao stood at the door and said a word, and then led the two people behind him into the mansion. As he walked by the edge of the garden, he saw Li Ge reading a book under the tree, and laughed, "Apprentice, I'm back." ”

"Master, you are here. Li Ge under the tree saw the old man Lai, put down the book happily, hurriedly ran to the latter, glanced at the two behind him, and asked curiously, "Master, who are these two seniors?"

"Oh~ This old bald man is called Qingxu, he is a monk of Putuo Temple, and this old demon in red is called Maoyuanshan, and he is a Taoist priest of the Maoshan faction. Lai Laodao pointed to the two behind him and introduced them.

"Sin and sin! Lai Lao Dog, the poor monk is not as knowledgeable as you. Monk Qingxu walked up to Li Ge and touched the latter's head, and said with a satisfied smile, "Yes, he is a good seedling of cultivation." ”

"The little guy looks strange, and he is indeed suitable for cultivation!" Mao Yuanshan also walked up to Li Ge and touched his head.

"The junior Li Ge has seen two seniors. Li Ge bent over and bowed, looking at the two people in front of him, the two predecessors of Putuo Temple and Maoshan School seem to be friends of Old Man Lai, these two sects also have some prestige in the era in which he lived, it seems that the Buyi School must not be a small sect.

"Lai Lao, you're here. Just as Li Ge was in the hair, the lord and lady of the Li Mansion came out when they heard the sound, and after introducing each other, the two of them beckoned the three old men into the hall.

After chatting, Li Yunlong told everything that had happened in the town not long ago, and when the three old men heard this, their faces sank, and the room was suddenly silent.

"Lai, do you say this has something to do with your precious apprentice?" Mao Laodao's words broke the silence in the room.

"It's hard to say, maybe it really has something to do with him. Lai Laodao sighed heavily, his face full of bitterness.

"Lao Lai, Lao Mao, now that more than a hundred babies have died, I am afraid that the resentment of these infant spirits will..." Qingxu frowned, and let out a long sigh when he said this.

"Yes, this is a troublesome matter, since this matter may be caused by my apprentice, then you can help me to eliminate this disaster. Lai Laodao got up and looked at the two old men he brought.

The three of them glanced at each other, nodded in tacit understanding, and looked like old friends for many years.
