Feng Muge stopped the town guard, took out the golden order and said, "Don't worry, there are still some things to ask." ”

Seeing Jin Ling, the town guard was taken aback, bowed down and saluted: "I don't know if Shangguan is here, how offensive, I am Hu Tian, the town guard of this town, I don't know what Shangguan else has to ask, and the lower official knows everything and says everything." ”

Shen calmly patted Feng Muge's shoulder and motioned for himself to ask next.

Shen sat calmly on the ground, patted the ground for Hu Tian to sit down, and said, "You tell me about the past two days from the beginning, starting with the disappearance of those snakes in the town." ”

Hu Tian sat opposite Shen Congrong and began to tell what had happened in the past few days.

On the day when Shen Congrong and their pursuit of the snake catcher, it also rained heavily on the side of Yutian Town, and Hu Tian, who was guarding at the foot of Python Mountain, let all the people of the snake repair team hide in the temporary rest house because of the snake chaos.

It rained all night, and they couldn't go out, so they slept in the house for the night, and arranged for a few people to take turns on duty, and alerted them when they heard a noise or saw something.

It may be that the heavy rain made the snakes not have the idea of coming out, and the whole night was uneventful. The next day, they changed shifts and went back to the town, and as soon as they entered the door, Hu Tian found that there were many potholes in the yard, and he was shocked, thinking that the snake had slipped into the house while it was raining, so he hurriedly went into the house to check.

Seeing that the wife and children in the house were still asleep on the bed, Hu Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, called his wife up, and asked what was going on with the potholes in the yard.

Hu Tian's wife looked unaware, so Hu Tian led his wife to the yard to take a look, and his wife was also startled and exclaimed, "What's going on? Whose prank is this, or is it a snake dug out?"

Hu Tian saw that his wife didn't know, so he carefully inspected these pits, and judging from the traces, they were cut by snakes. So Hu Tian and his wife checked all the places in the house and found no trace of the snake. But such a situation is very rare, which may indicate something, so Hu Tian didn't care about resting, so he went door to door to check and inquire.

After such a check, Hu Tian found that everyone had such a hole in the house, and they did not find that there were snakes entering the house, which is strange, these snakes actually dug the pit and did not enter the house? Because most of the town is dirt roads, they soon found the traces left by the snakes, and after following these traces, they found the foot of the python mountain, which is the location where they are now guarded.

"Are you saying that you followed the snake's trail to find the position you are guarding now, so where did you guard before?" Shen calmly interrupted Hu Tian's narration.

Hu Tian said: "Oh, we were guarding the direction of the main road before, and the snakes originally entered the town from that side, but this time we followed their traces to find this side, so we transferred another group of people to guard here." ”

"The path is different when you come and when you come back, deliberately avoiding the crowd?" Shen Congrong didn't understand why these snakes did this, was it because he was afraid that he would know about killing someone? But this couldn't be hidden for long?

After thinking for a while, Shen Congrong didn't understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it and said, "You go on." ”

Hu Tian continued.

After discovering the escape path of the snakes, because they were worried that they would invade again from this path, Hu Tian and his team formed another group of people to guard here, guarding two places at the same time.

After the group of snakes left, there were no more snakes in the village, and they rarely saw snakes coming down from the python mountain, but they didn't dare to take it lightly, and still stood guard here, wanting to wait for the court to send someone to solve the matter once and for all.

Just two days ago, a golden light flew out of Python Mountain, headed straight for Fancheng, and never flew back. This golden light made Hu Tian have a bad premonition in his heart, and felt that it was very likely that the snake would rise again, so he was more cautious.

Shen calmly asked, "Have you all seen that golden light?"

Hu Tian nodded and said, "Yes, we all saw it, because if it wasn't for the special circumstances, we would all keep vigil together." I remember that it was around Zizheng, there was a strong white light on the mountain, and it didn't take long for a golden light to fly out and go to Fancheng, we were very scared, thinking that it was a sign that the demon was going down the mountain, and we were on guard all night, but nothing happened, and the golden light did not come back. ”

"Very strong white light?" Shen calmly thought for a moment, it should be the white light caused by that day when Yu used Yuehua to help Zhou Tu'an heal his injuries, but he saw Yuehua's loss that day, but he didn't find any golden light to Fancheng?

Shen calmly asked, "Apart from the white light and the golden light, is there anything else?"

Hu Tian said: "Yes, it's that beast roar, it appeared two days ago, but after that, I can't hear it anymore, do you say that the golden light killed the demon?"

Shen said calmly: "This can't be confirmed yet, but the demon is likely to be still on the mountain, so you take us to take the two places you are guarding around, and we will keep watch with you all night tonight to see the situation, and then talk." ”

Hu Tian said happily: "With your words, we are relieved, by the way, have you eaten, do you want to eat with us?"

Shen Congrong waved his hand and said, "We only came after we ate, you go eat first, and take us around when you're full." ”

"Good. Hu Tian got up from the ground and walked in the direction of the crowd.

After Hu Tian left, Han Qu asked Shen Congrong, "What do you think of this town guard?"

Shen said calmly: "That golden light is very likely to be the magic weapon of the sacrifice, or some means, they said that the golden light flew to Fancheng, but we didn't find anything in Fancheng, for the time being, we can't be sure whether this is a demonic trick, everything has to wait for the mountain to be determined, Fang Cai Zhenshou also said, the beast roar has disappeared for two days, we will wait for another day tonight, whether it appears or not, we will go up the mountain tomorrow, if it appears, we will go up the mountain tonight." ”

Han Qu nodded and said, "That's it, otherwise it's too passive." ”

Soon, Hu Tian finished eating, ran over and said, "Shangguan, please come with me." ”

Shen Congrong smiled: "You don't have to call me Shangguan, just call me sir." ”

"Ah, yes, sir. Hu Tian responded to Shen Congrong's words, suddenly reacted, looked at Shen Congrong in surprise and said, "Are you Mr. Congrong?"

The court that I was looking forward to day and night was coming, and it was actually Mr. Calm who was about to take over as the supervisor of Qintian, Hu Tian was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Shen said calmly: "Don't be so surprised, don't deliberately make a noise, take us around." ”

Hu Tian could only nod violently, and took Shen Congrong and the others to the station of the snake fighting team.

When passing by the crowd, Feng Muge greeted Xiao Er, who delivered the meal, and asked him to send one to a few of his own people when he delivered the meal in the evening.

As soon as Xiao Er saw their posture, he was also going to stay here, so he responded.

Hu Tian took Shen Congrong to check on the two stations, both places have a temporary residence, in order to prevent bad weather and night shifts to let people rest, meals are also taken in turn to eat in the house, and there are two large barrels of tea in the house to quench thirst.

Shen Congrong was satisfied with the situation in the two stations, but it was inevitably too dangerous, you must know that there are demons on this mountain, so let some ordinary villagers stay here, if there are really demons coming down, wouldn't they all be buried here?

After seeing the station, Shen Congrong said to Hu Tian: "Well, you are doing a very good job, but it's just too dangerous, aren't you afraid that there will really be demons rushing into battle?"

Hu Tian said: "What can I do if I am afraid, there is a home behind me, if you don't guard here, there will really be demons coming down and going straight into the town, then it will be terrible." ”

Shen Congrong has no reason to refute, it is indeed the case, and there has been no national protection spirit beast on the side of Python Mountain, and there is no one with the Dao Law to guard it, and the villagers have no choice.

Taking out some talismans and handing them to Hu Tian, Shen said calmly: "Distribute these talismans to the people of the snake fighting team, stick them on their bodies and weapons, and let the rest be taken back to the town and pasted from house to house." If it's not enough, gather all the villagers together to resist the attack of the little demon. We'll stay and watch over tonight, and whatever happens tonight, we'll go up the mountain tomorrow to investigate, and then you can go back." After returning to the town, he sent someone to Fancheng to find Taishou, and told him that I said that Fu Wei had arrived and asked Fu Wei to draw twenty people to Yutian Town. ”

Hu Tian took the talisman and wrote down Shen Congrong's words one by one: "Yes, the lower official remembers." ”

Nodding, Shen Congrong said to Feng Muge: "I'll guard here tonight, Muge, you and Ziyue go to the other side, Ziyue hasn't fully recovered, if there is really a demon rushing into battle, I'm afraid it will be sad." ”

Although Han Qu wanted to be with Shen Congrong very much, Shen Congrong had spoken, so he could only follow Feng Muge to the other side.

At night, Shen Congrong and Feng Muge both stood in front of their respective guarded stations. The villagers of the snake squads were all behind them, long knives and steel forks in their hands, on the lookout for what might happen. Because Han Qu had not yet healed from the injuries he suffered last time, he forcibly refined magic weapons, so he stayed with the villagers.

A very reasonable formation arrangement, if there is a demon rushing into the formation, Shen Congrong can meet them as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the villagers.

This night, it was very peaceful, not even mosquitoes, let alone demons. After the dawn broke, everyone's hearts were relieved.

Shen calmly said to Hu Tian: "Okay, take everyone back, and do what I told you yesterday." ”

Hu Tian saluted and said, "Yes, sir, be careful." ”

After Hu Tian beckoned all the people of the snake fighting team to go back, Feng Muge and Han Qu went to Shen Congrong's side.

Looking at the silent Python Mountain, Shen said calmly: "Let's go, it's time to go up the mountain and have a look,"
