chills

After strolling in the market, the three of them randomly found an inn in the town to put down their things and prepare for the evening.

"Qin Qin," Shen Huaiyu said, "I just forgot to tell you that Huaiyuan and I met a fortune teller in the back."

In a few words, he recounted the conversation between the women, the fortune teller and him, omitting the unhappiness in the middle, and told Ye Qinqin what happened.

"Strange." Ye Qinqin was thoughtful.

"According to what the woman said, they didn't know about it," Lu Huaiyuan said, "losing a child is not a trivial matter in Shiquan Town. Xu's family has fallen out, and they have reported to the police for investigation. Village women like to hear it , This kind of thing will be discussed after dinner, and by the way scare your own children, how could you not know."

"And that 'half-immortal' doesn't know." Shen Huaiyu said, "Going up the mountain once is very troublesome, tiring and time-consuming. The woman said that there are some strange things involving demons and ghosts in the town that cannot be solved, and they will solve them as soon as possible. Going to find the fortune teller who set up a stall in the town, Mr. Xu's age, he has bad legs and feet, and it's very strange to spend a lot of time going up the mountain to ask for Qing Yunzong."

"There may be something hidden in this matter, but let's wait until we catch that thing." Lu Huaiyuan said.

After finishing speaking, he pointed at Ye Qinqin: "You, you are not allowed to go out at night, just stay in this inn."

Ye Qinqin slapped the table: "Why!"

"A person who can be molested by hooligans while walking on the street has no right to go out in the middle of the night." Lu Huaiyuan said.

"I also want to watch my uncle catch monsters..." Ye Qinqin covered his face, pretending to be wronged, and pretended to wipe away his tears.

"There's no need to pretend," Lu Huaiyuan said to her seriously, "When we leave, lock the doors and windows. If you break the door and come out, you will pay for it yourself."

Shen Huaiyu let them mess around, sat on the side and took the fish out of its sheath, and carefully took out a soft cloth to wipe it.

It's night, and it's a little bit cold.The bustling Shiquan Town during the day suddenly became quiet, and every household was lit with faint lights.Shen Huaiyu jumped onto the roof of the inn from the window, looking at the night of the town and thinking about what to do.

Lu Huaiyuan and Ye Qinqin were still fighting silently in the room.Ye Qinqin wanted to follow along to join in the fun, but Lu Huaiyuan stopped him, and the two were afraid of disturbing the other people staying in the hotel, so the fight was extremely quiet, and finally Lu Huaiyuan held Ye Qinqin's head down and threw her The bundle ends in a porcelain vase the height of a person.

Lu Huaiyuan also climbed onto the roof from the window: "Brother, are we just waiting like this? If the monster doesn't come out tonight, don't we have to wait another day?"

"That thing is very urgent," the cool wind brushed Shen Huaiyu's face, "an adult is missing, I am afraid it will take a while to be found. A baby is missing, but it will be found soon. That thing There is only one reason why I would rather expose myself than steal this baby."

Ye Qinqin finally broke free from the rope that bound her.She carefully put the fragile object back in place, poked her head out of the window: "What."

"It is very weak, and it does not hesitate to strengthen itself through such an easy-to-find method." Shen Huaiyu said.

Ye Qinqin covered her mouth: "Then isn't that little doll..."

Lu Huaiyuan said: "Let's do our best."

Ye Qinqin lay on the window and chatted with the two people on the roof for a while, and the two of them blew the night breeze for a while, watching the lights of Wanjia in Shiquan Town disappear one by one, and finally there was only darkness left.The moonlight sprinkled on the small town, and the corners and leaf tips of the eaves seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.Ye Qinqin closed the window and turned off the lights.Lu Huaiyuan squatted on the roof, and Shen Huaiyu stood beside him.He touched the tiles casually, his heart beating like a drum.

This time he is not the young master who only hides on Qianfeng Wall, this time he is on the roof of Shiquan Town with Shen Huaiyu.

Lu Huaiyuan's hand holding the sword couldn't help adding some strength.

He practiced kung fu with Shen Huaiyu, and after Shen Huaiyu brought back his "chi fish", Shen Lin also gave Lu Huaiyuan a sword.The sword was newly forged and had not yet been engraved with a name.Shen Lin's original intention was to let Lu Huaiyuan take it by himself, but Lu Huaiyuan couldn't think of a name for a while, so this poor sword can only be temporarily unknown.

The wind rustled the leaves, and there was an unusual smell in the air.Lu Huaiyuan suddenly stood up: "Here we come!"

On the eaves in the distance, a layer of ink-like black mist squirmed and spread.

Lu Huaiyuan had goose bumps all over his body: "What is this, so disgusting!"

Shen Huaiyu drew out his sword: "I don't know."

The black mist spread extremely quickly, half of the small town was covered by it in the blink of an eye.Lu Huaiyuan also drew out his sword and began to observe.The black mist seemed to be sentient, coming from all directions, and the center point was the inn they were stepping on.

"I've never read such a thing in a book," Lu Huaiyuan frowned. "No wonder it's useless to close the doors and windows! This fog is so pervasive."

Shen Huaiyu said, "No."

"What's wrong?"

"We said earlier that that thing is very weak. If the black mist covering the whole town is its body, then why does it bother to steal the baby?"

In a few words, the black mist was already approaching.Lu Huaiyuan retreated, and stood back to back with Shen Huaiyu, but Shen Huaiyu said softly, "There's no need to hide."

"We've been spotted by it."

The black mist had completely enveloped Shiquan Town, and the two of them leaned their backs together, not daring to relax, because they didn't know when a hostile monster would emerge from the black mist.

The black mist in front of Shen Huaiyu slowly condensed, showing the shape of a huge beast.The ferocious beast had a ferocious face, long beards, a body like a tiger, and eyes like copper bells. It let out a long howl, and the sound was deafening. When Lu Huaiyuan turned his head, the thing seemed to be frightened and rushed towards the two of them. .

Lu Huaiyuan pushed Shen Huaiyu away, and hid on the other side with his own strength. Before the beast turned its head, the sword's edge came hunting with a whistling hurricane, attacking the beast, it was a wild haze rolling leaves.But this time it seemed to miss out, the dark beast blurred like ink, dissipated in the black mist, gathered from another direction, and pounced on Shen Huaiyu again.

Shen Huaiyu broke it up with a sword: "No!"

There seemed to be more ferocious beasts gathered in all directions, and their ferocious eyes were like the faint eyes of a pack of wolves in the black mist.

Lu Huaiyuan and Shen Huaiyu got together again, and they kept using their swords to scatter the beasts gathered in all directions.Shen Huaiyu said: "This thing is delaying time."

Lu Huaiyuan swept away several fierce beasts that were rushing towards him at the same time with a sword: "Yes, its target is the 'baby'. As long as this black mist entangles us, we will not be able to find his real body, let alone prevent him from stealing it. baby."

Shen Huaiyu made a trick and punched out, but the beast formed by the black mist did not change in any way.He sighed and scattered it with his sword: "Just ask which family in the town has a new child during the day, I was negligent."

"Brother," Lu Huaiyuan said suddenly, "I seem to know what this thing is."

Shen Huaiyu was taken aback: "What?"

"This is Jiao Jiao." Lu Huaiyuan said.
