Chapter 17: The Chicken Thief

A group of more than a dozen people went straight to the city of Taihan in Kyoto, and it took more than ten days to travel quickly.

On this day,

The team came to Fengdu City, Fengdu City is the east gate of the national capital of Tilt City, which is only 30 miles away, and it is possible to enter Beijing in one day, and the most heard along the way is the legend of Fushi Castle.

In the evening, there were two people sitting by the window in the restaurant, they had just walked around the market, and they had some money in their hands, so they began to talk while drinking.

The red-faced man said: "This year's Demon Capture will be really wonderful and bizarre. ”

"Really, what did you hear?" asked the white-faced man.

"Let me tell you, at that time, a seventh-level demonic beast came out, and then a tenth-level demonic beast came. ”

"Wow, really, it's wonderful. ”

"Who said no, everyone fought against the fire lion camel beast, it was a heavy loss, and the last three princes fought with the prince of Xiaoyao, but they failed to hurt it, and finally a fairy killed the lion camel beast. ”

"This fairy is amazing. ”

Later, she subdued the tenth-level demonic beast Black Phoenix. ”

"Amazing!"

"What's even more remarkable, the Demon Spirit Pagoda that more than three hundred masters can't crack, so she can easily break it. ”

"It's amazing!"

"Do you know who this fairy is?"

"Who? don't you know, don't say it's you? ”

"Phew, what kind of fate do I have, tell you, it's the princess of the third prince!"

"The three princes are already powerful, defending the country, and people are respected, but now the princess is so outstanding, only they are compatible?"

"I heard that the carefree boy also found a confidante at the Sheraton Inn, it seems to be a girl from the North Palace. ”

"This demon capture will be so exciting, why don't you go?" said the white-faced man.

"I'm gone, and there's nothing to do with them. ”

"Hahaha! ”

"Tell you, thanks to not going, if I did, I wouldn't be able to come back. ”

"What's going on?"

The red-faced man said softly, "The more than 1,000 people who went to participate disappeared overnight. ”

"Huh?"

"Now I heard that all sects and families have received advice and stickers. ”

"Say what?"

"You can't talk nonsense, say let them go to the Black Wolf Mountain to replace the treasures or cheats of the various sects and families. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, the Black Wolf Mountain is in Uto, no one knows what's going on?"

Suddenly, there was an extra dart on the table between the two, and there was a note on it: See you at the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city.

The two of them were shocked, and there was nothing abnormal when they looked around. They looked at each other and said, "Let's go, let's see what's going on." The red-faced man nodded at the white-faced man.

In the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city, the cold moonlight is sprinkled on the quaint and dilapidated walls, and a lonely tree in front of the temple is swaying in the night wind, and pieces of dead leaves are falling to the ground.

The two figures walked slowly, one after the other, and stopped at the door, looking around.

A vague voice suddenly sounded: "You know, you know a lot! ”

"Ahh

"Answer my question?"

"These rivers and lakes have spread all over the world, and everyone in the Taihan Kingdom knows about it. ”

"Well, that's good. ”

"Who are you?"

After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again: "Which sect are you from?"

"We have no sect, we are locals, and we usually make some money in the market...... My name is Zhang San, and his name is Chang Qi. ”

"Okay, follow me in the future! don't make so much money, I will definitely meet your needs. "A man in black wearing a mask floated down from the top of the temple like a ghost.

The two people hurriedly knelt down: "Yes, yes"

He threw two masks out of his sleeves, "Help me with my errands." ”......

Yuhan followed Xu Yao to live in Fengdu City, this city is not very big, but it is heavily guarded, the conditions in the hotel are very good, it is very convenient to eat, drink, live and travel, because Xu Yao first wants to deploy a city defense here, it takes two days, and at the same time write what happened in Fushi Fort as an excerpt and send a fast horse to tell his father.

In the morning, Yuhan had nothing to do, so he walked around the city at will. The market is very lively, and there are many restaurants and restaurants.

Selling hand ornaments, snacks, and jugglers showed their talents, Yuhan stopped in front of a stall selling headdresses, she looked at it, and finally took a fancy to a light yellow headband, and was about to pay.

A man in a coarse cloth shirt came running in a panic and said to the woman selling headdresses: "Qu Niang, the chicken we lost at home has been found, but, but,"

"What's wrong? The woman cried out impatiently.

"All of them are dead, and it's miserable! Not just our family, everyone is like that. ”

"Where did I find it. ”

"City God Temple in the west of the city. ”

Yuhan asked while giving money, "Did you lose the chicken?"

"Yes, I lost more than a dozen of them, and more or less everyone around me lost them. ”

"I found it, it's in the City God Temple in the west of the city, but, but the death is terrible, let's go and see it." The man said.

"Okay, you look at the shop. The woman named Qu Niang packed up and prepared to leave.

Yuhan hurriedly said, "Hey, such a strange thing, can I go with you to see it?"

"It's okay, there's a lot of people there," the man said.

Yuhan and Qu Niang chatted while walking to the west of the city.

"Is life good at home?" asked Yuhan.

"It's okay, in peaceful days, the common people have a good life, planting fields, raising chickens and ducks, and then selling small things in their free time, a family of six can live comfortably. ”

"Oh! That's good. ”

"But I'm afraid the good days are coming to an end. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I heard that a person in the northwest called the Utopian country is making trouble, robbing us of our things and people, and maybe there will be a war. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, the common people have spread it all over in private. ”

"By the way, where did you get the news from?"

"This matter, I don't know, but if we really want to fight, we also support, the third prince has arrived in our Fengdu City yesterday, and he will return to the capital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to lead troops to fight that country. ”

Yuhan was very surprised, not many people knew about Xu Yao's entry into Beijing, he let everyone travel lightly, and he walked quietly on a fast horse, why did he know his whereabouts even to the common people.

After a short time, they came to the City God Temple, where there were already many onlookers.

"So many chickens, all killed, left here and not eaten, unfortunately, what does it mean?" said an old man angrily.

"If someone loses it, you can pick it up and eat it. ”

"Can you still eat this? Who would dare to eat it?" someone said,

Yuhan was taken aback when he saw it, and saw that there were hundreds of them, these chickens, one by one, their eyes burst, their bodies twisted, a bloody hole in their necks, and their muscles were yellow.

I once heard the master say that there is a kind of evil kung fu, their internal practice must be supplemented by animal or human blood, and the deeper the kung fu, the greater the amount of blood needed. Did it appear here.

At this time, there were two officials and a person who looked like a fast catcher.

"The chief is here," someone in the crowd said, "the captain, the chickens we all raised were stolen last night, and they were all killed and thrown here." ”

"Lieutenant, you're going to send someone to catch these thieves and send them to the official!"

"Got it, don't worry, I've already informed the yamen and rushed here. An older man said.

"Folks, you have to close the door, the protection work must be done well, the lieutenant has reported to the official, and the catchers will patrol at night. The young man continued, "I'm Yan Zhutou, don't worry, we will solve the case as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, when the third prince arrives in Fengdu City, why don't you tell him that he has always been in charge of the people. ”

"Don't make trouble, don't bother him with this little thing, just have our yamen come forward. Yan Zhutou said.

"So, what should we do with these chickens?" asked Yan Zhutou.

"These chickens must be destroyed by fire as soon as possible, and people must be arranged to do the same. The head of the swallow hunt led the catcher and hurried away.

Yuhan nodded in the crowd.

Back at the hotel, Yuhan told Xu Yao about this phenomenon, and he was also stunned, "Bloodshed corpse skill, this is a very vicious kung fu, practitioners use blood as raw materials, it can be animal blood, or even human blood." You have to suck blood once a month, and as your power deepens, you get more blood. I heard that thirty years ago, there was a witch-devouring sect that all the sects practiced this skill, harming the people, and later even hunting and killing adults. In the end, the Xiaoyao Palace, the major factions in the north and south, and the four major families jointly eliminated it. Could it be that they are back in the rivers and lakes? ”

"Oops, they were the ones who kidnapped Meng'er. Yuhan was shocked.

Xu Yao's face also changed greatly.
