"Ah!" The rabbit demon boy pinched his nose and shrunk his shoulders in fear: "The smell of a big demon!"

He moved a step and smelled Jiang Haixi's body: "Hey! You are really human! Bad guys! You lied to me!"

He turned around and was about to run into the woods, Xue Buji pinched his ears: "Don't run. Little rabbit, we won't hurt you."

The rabbit demon boy was so frightened that his eyes were full of tears, and he was trembling all over, as if he was very frightened.But he looks really cute, very much like the white and soft appearance of the younger brother when he was a child.

Xue Buji couldn't help but said softly: "When we ask, can I treat you to some carrots?"

With tears in his eyes, the rabbit boy asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Xue Buji asked: "You said it was the blood of a big demon?"

The rabbit demon boy nodded.Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi looked at each other, both very puzzled, could the deaf-mute servant be a demon?

After living with the deaf-mute second servant for so long, Xue Buji never noticed the clue.

"Why did you tell us not to go?"

The rabbit demon boy looked at the two timidly: "There is danger in Jiushan City."

"What danger?"

"I heard from the squirrel spirit on the opposite mountain that none of the companions who approached Jiushan City have returned." The rabbit demon boy sobbed: "I thought you two were companions too, so I kindly remind you..."

Xue Buji let go of him, but the rabbit boy was stunned.Jiang Haixi deliberately frightened him: "Don't run away, waiting to be made into a spicy rabbit head?"

The rabbit demon boy was frightened into two more tears, and got into the bushes in a hurry.

Xue Buji laughed, and glanced at Jiang Haixi.Jiang Haixi was very calm, and said to Xue Buji with a smile, "It turns out that Qing likes that type."

Xue Buji was a little puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Xi, what are you talking about, I just thought he was as cute as you were when you were a child, so I just teased him."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Haixi's face turned red, and Xue Buji was even more puzzled.

"Xi, let's go to Jiushan City to have a look."

Jiang Haixi hummed, his face recovered, and he walked forward in two steps: "Master may have entered Jiushan City, since the rabbit monster said that there is danger in Jiushan City, then we have to go inside to explore."

The two walked side by side and accelerated their pace down the mountain.Several farms down the mountain, Xue Buji knocked on the door of one of them, the lights were still on inside, but no one came to open the door.It was not too late now, he and Jiang Haixi looked at each other, a little puzzled, and then knocked on the next door.

Unexpectedly, it was not until the eighth household that an old man finally came out and opened the door.The old man's face was a bit fierce, and he seemed to be quite a courageous person.He looked at Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi's attire, glanced at the swords beside them, and asked, "What's the matter with the two heroes?"

Xue Buji asked: "Old man, why didn't anyone come to open the door when we knocked on several houses and the lights were on?"

"The young people in our village have all gone to the city, leaving us frail and sick old people. They are afraid that you will get rich and die, so of course they dare not open the door."

Xue Buji couldn't help laughing and said: "Why did the old man open the door? Aren't you afraid that we will seek money and kill us?"

The old man sneered: "Half of the old man's body will be buried in the ground, so there's nothing to be afraid of. If you are bad people, if you want to seek wealth and kill yourself, it doesn't matter whether we open the door or not."

The old man was quite courageous, so Xue Buji asked again: "Old man, what happened in Jiushan City? Why did all the young people in this village enter the city?"

The old man's face moved slightly, and he let the door open: "Come in and talk, both of you."

Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi entered the farmyard, followed the old man into the house.The light in the room was dim, and there was a smell of medicine and sweat. There was a pile of clothes and bedding on a narrow bed, and a head of gray and thin hair was exposed between the clothes. There was an old man lying on the bed.

Hearing someone come in, the person on the bed asked: "Old man, is Yin'er back?"

The old man replied: "My son sent a letter from the city, and I will reply tomorrow, tomorrow..."

The old man quietly wiped his eyes under the lamp.

The old woman on the bed asked, "Who is here?"

"Passing by, excuse me."

The old woman lay down and sighed: "Oh, the old man of the city lord recruited strong men well, and he agreed to let them back in a month, and it seems that one month will be here..."

The old man said: "Okay! My mother thinks so much all day long, how can this disease be cured?"

The old woman snorted twice and fell asleep.The old man brought Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi into the side room, poured water, and sat down in front of them.

Xue Buji was already full of doubts, the old man sighed: "You two heroes, you asked me just now, what happened in Jiushan City, and why the young people in the village are not here? Well, I don't really understand. Half a month ago, the city lord suddenly sent people to the village to recruit young men from door to door. Once in the city, there will be no news, and now the city is only allowed to enter, not to leave, and those who went to the village to inquire about the news have not returned."

The old man sighed deeply again: "Old man, I went to the neighboring villages to inquire, and all the younger generations from their village have also entered the city. I don't know what the city lord wants so many younger generations to do."

Xue Buji thought of what the rabbit demon boy said: None of the demons who approached Jiushan City have ever returned.Full of doubts, he asked the old man a few more questions, and then bid farewell to his junior brother.

The old man sent them to the door and asked, "Are the two heroes going into the city?"

Xue Buji nodded.

"The two heroes look like masters at first glance. If you see my son Yin'er, please take care of him. My son has a red mole under his right eye." The old man took out a cloth bag and stuffed it Into Xue Buji's arms.

Xue Buji squeezed it, the bag was hard, he was afraid it was all money, so he refused to accept it.Jiang Haixi persuaded from the side: "Old man, we have other things to do when we go to the city, so we may not be able to see your son. The money is your hard-earned money, so keep it yourself."

The old man had no choice but to take it back.

At this time, it was already the climax of the moon, Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi rushed towards Jiushan City.

Although there were guards at the city gate, with their abilities, it was not difficult to enter the city quietly.

After crossing the towering city wall of Jiushan City, the two of them landed lightly on the ground, and the surroundings were so quiet that it was a bit eerie, not at all like what a huge capital city should look like at night.Not far away, there is a team of guards patrolling back and forth.The two held their breath and hid in the shadow of the tall city wall.

The corner gate next to the city gate opened, and a group of men and horses came in from outside the city gate. Xue Buji squinted his eyes, and saw that the pair of men and horses were guarded by guards in front, back, left, and right. The boy was actually among them.It seems that although he kindly reminded others, he was very careless and got the guards of Jiushan City arrested.

These monsters have low power and can't fully transform themselves. This one has two rabbit ears exposed, and the other has a pig's tail hanging from the back. They are all shivering and huddled together, very scared.

"There are only a few?" The handover person roughly stabbed the little monsters with a scabbard: "The appearance is not good, how do you let me hand over the job?"

The leading guard sighed: "Whether the monsters around here are good or not, they have been caught all over the place. Today, my buddies ran dozens of miles away to catch them. If they catch them beyond the bounds and make a commotion, I'm not joking. Aren't you afraid that Mr. Qiu will organize another demon-slaying reunion and take our Jiushan City together?"

The handover person snorted: "If we don't arrest his daughter, what kind of monsters does he slaughter and what righteousness does he gather? Grandma, our Jiushan City is a decent place, not a magical den like Wuyiliu."

The leading guard snorted and said, "A serious place? Old brother, don't fool me. These little monsters are easy to say, what happened to those ordinary people? What is the city lord doing?"

The handover person patted him and lowered his voice: "Don't ask so much. I heard from my superiors that no one will be killed. At most, it will make them angry...they will be released at that time."

In the darkness, Jiang Haixi's bright eyes flickered, and he met Xue Buji's eyes, seeing the same doubt in the other's eyes.

After the handover of the two teams, the little monsters were taken away, and Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi followed them all the way.Jiushan City is a mountain city, the city is high and low, winding around, the little monsters were taken to the west of the city, there are two floors above ground, the ground is the place where the guards practice martial arts daily, and the ground below is the prison.

Seeing the little demons being thrown into prison, Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi turned over and left, and went up to the highest point in the middle of Jiushan City.

The two glanced around, and the most majestic mansion in the city must be the City Lord's Mansion.

"Where will Master go?" Xue Buji was a little puzzled and said to himself.

"Since Master is coming in the direction of Jiushan City, it may be somewhere in this city. Let's check the City Lord's Mansion first." Jiang Haixi stared down at the city below his feet.

Xue Buji nodded, and flew down together with Jiang Haixi, towards the mansion.

This mansion faces the water in the front and the mountains in the back, it is very quiet, it doesn't look like the city lord's mansion, but rather like a garden where you can enjoy entertainment.The two sneaked into the mansion, and as soon as they entered, they could feel that there was a powerful player sitting here.

The two followed the light and entered a row of courtyards behind.A slender figure under the rockery flashed past, Xue Buji let out a slight gasp, that figure looked very familiar.

He chased after him, and Jiang Haixi followed with a look in his eyes.I saw the figure circle a few turns and fly onto the roof.

The smell of medicine in this courtyard was very strong, Xue Buji and Jiang Haixi hid in the dark, feeling that the powerful player was in this courtyard.The woman on the roof was still ignorant, she gently stretched out her hand and lifted the tiles, and when she was about to peek inside, a figure quietly landed behind her.

The woman turned her face, it was Hong Chu's waist.

Xue Buji was a little surprised, not sure why she appeared here.At this moment, Hong Chu's waist was already fighting with that master, she was obviously not his opponent, Xue Buji was tense all over, and was looking for an opportunity to come forward to help.

At this moment, there was a cough in the room, followed by a weak sigh: "Ayou, let her in."
