fell into a pit book

It was getting late, and the half-drowsy sunset shrouded the whole town with the last light without warmth.

Because they were worried that there might be other traps due to the heavy demons in the town, Leng Qingjue and Hang Hehuan did not act separately, but investigated together.Although the town is not big, such an arrangement took a lot of time.

Hang Hehuan glanced sideways at an alley on the right, but it was also empty.

The two of them have already circled the entire town without seeing even half a person, but the strange thing is that every street and alley is clean and tidy, as if it has been cleaned deliberately.

"Master, there seems to be no one in this town..."

Leng Qingjue glanced around for a week, not to mention that Hang Hehuan couldn't see anyone, even after she entered the town, she didn't even notice a trace of magic energy, but when she was outside the town, the magic barrier had already surrounded the whole town up.

Turning the corner, the master and apprentice came to a crossroad in the center of the town again.

Hang Hehuan walked up the street on the right, carefully pushed open the closed door of the first house, looked inside, and called, "Is anyone there?"

As expected, there was still no response.Hang Hehuan used the light to visit inside, and it was indeed the same as the previous households: the cabinets in the house were neatly arranged, without any dust, and it didn't look like it had been unoccupied for a long time.

Closing the door, Hang Hehuan walked towards the location where Leng Qingjue was, and muttered to himself: "Zhang Lingge and the others must have marked the wrong location, right? There is clearly nothing in this town..."

Hang Hehuan stood beside Leng Qingjue, "Master, did you find anything?"

Leng Qingjue shook his head, "No."

Could it be that Hang Hehuan committed the crime: "There are no people, how can we find the entrance to the Demon Realm?"

Leng Qingjue looked up at the sky that was gradually getting dark, and said in a low voice, "Wait."

"Wait?" Hang Hehuan followed Leng Qingjue's line of sight, only a dark blue sky was turned upside down, nothing else, "What are you waiting for? Is it possible that something will fall from the sky?"

Leng Qingjue withdrew his gaze and turned to Hang Hehuan, and said in a helpless tone: "Wait until it gets dark."

"...Ha, haha, I'm just waiting for it to get dark!" Hang Hehuan was helping himself, thinking to himself why he was getting more and more stupid...

On the contrary, the sky was very bright that day, not long after Leng Qingjue finished speaking, it was completely dark.Under such circumstances, the town with no lights looked even more empty and gloomy.

They were standing at the crossroads, and there were no shelters on all sides, which made people feel even more insecure.A gust of cool wind blew by, and Hang Hehuan shrank his shoulders. At this time, the disadvantages of good eyesight became prominent: the clearer you can see the surrounding things, the easier it is to make yourself suspicious...

"Meow……"

A cat meowing came from nowhere. Goosebumps all over her body. She has never dared to get close to those dangerous creatures with fur, especially the ones with luminous eyes in the dark. biology.Subconsciously, he hid behind Leng Qingjue. Leng Qingjue saw her actions and probably knew what she was afraid of, so he went to hold her hand, and sure enough, his palm was covered with cold sweat.

"Don't be afraid."

Hearing Leng Qingjue's chilly voice, Hang Hehuan was inexplicably comforted, "Well..."

Then there were several cat meows, which seemed to come from every corner, or seemed to come from one place but were constantly echoed, making people unpredictable.

As these meows grew, the situation in the town changed.

In the originally dark room, candles were lit up one after another, and there were even pedestrians on the road.At this time, in the middle of the intersection of Leng Qingjue and Hang Hehuan Station, looking at the sudden increase of pedestrians on the street, I feel a little cool in my heart.

Leng Qingjue was suspicious in her heart, she clearly hadn't even sensed a wave of demonic energy...

The passers-by not only didn't seem to see the two of them, but only walked in three directions of this intersection, leaving only the north direction unattended, and the only way to the north in the whole town was not lit.

"Master..."

Leng Qingjue frowned, and stretched out her hand to stop a passerby who passed by her.And that person not only ignored her and kept walking forward, but also the part blocked by Leng Qingjue turned into a purple-black mist, and that part of his body became completely empty.

"Monster." Leng Qingjue looked at the mist wrapped around his hand but quickly dissipated, and made a conclusion.

Hang Hehuan also followed suit and reached out to stop one at random, but this time the result was completely different from Leng Qingjue: the monster stopped by Hang Hehuan not only did not pass through directly, but also seemed to be hit by something. He took a step back, rubbed the place where Hang Hehuan stopped him, looked at the place where Hang Hehuan was, but shook his head to avoid her as if he didn't find anything, and left.

Hang Hehuan: "..." Sorry!Forget that she is a mixed race! !But this situation is still a bit puzzling...

Leng Qingjue frowned slightly, but did not make a sound.

"Meow!"

"what!!"

Hang Hehuan was frightened by the sudden cat meow, and hid behind Leng Qingjue, holding Leng Qingjue's shoulder before daring to look at the source of the meow.

A snow-colored cat looked more and more out of place in contrast with the surrounding darkness. It was squatting at the north intersection and staring at the two of them with a pair of shining silver vertical pupils—or in other words, Staring at Hang Hehuan behind Leng Qingjue.

The cat raised its front paw and licked it, then let out another cry, and then walked on the road going north where there were no monsters. Crimson is particularly eye-catching.

After a while, the cat disappeared into the darkness, even with the red color on its tail.

"Master, should we follow it..."

Leng Qingjue has already called out Su He and held it in his hand, "Yes." He held Hang Hehuan with the other hand, "Don't worry."

Hang Hehuan walked from behind Leng Qingjue to her side, shoulder to shoulder with her, her master said so, can she still run back?

The two walked slowly to the street to the north. After walking in, Hang Hehuan faintly felt that something was wrong. Looking back at the intersection, he suddenly felt that the intersection was far away from here, and they had only walked from the intersection not long ago. step.It's like something separates this intersection from that intersection.

Hang Hehuan grabbed Leng Qingjue, "Master, let's go back."

Seeing that her expression was different, Leng Qingjue followed her back towards the intersection without asking any further questions.It's just that they were still one step too late, and before they reached the intersection, the intersection had already disappeared, leaving only a piece of darkness extending to nowhere.

It seemed that there was only this street left in this space.

Then, a pair of green eyes came out from the roof or from the corner of the road, and the meowing of cats stimulated Hang Hehuan's ears.

Maybe it's the warmth from the hand being held...Where's the warmth? ! !Hang Hehuan stretched out his hand to catch it, but he didn't catch anything, resisting the urge to turn his head, the Leng Qingjue who was beside her had disappeared!

"Meow……"

Hang Hehuan suppressed the goosebumps all over his body aroused by these meowing, and gave a wry smile in his heart. Now even his master is gone, but even if his master is there, it seems useless under this situation: She is now meowing on all sides.

Calling out Yi Duan and holding it in her hand, the cold hilt and the words "Leng Qing Jue" that she kept silently chanting in her heart finally calmed her down.

Fortunately, these cats just meowed twice and watched Leng Qingjue and Hang Hehuan, not intending to pounce on them.After such a stalemate for a few moments, it was finally interrupted by a "person" walking from the darkness at the other end of the street.

Hang Hehuan squinted his eyes and looked at the "person", and saw that the person was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, surrounded by tulle, only showing a face that he couldn't see clearly.She was holding a square lantern in her hand, and the faint candlelight reflected through the covering paper on all sides, barely illuminating the red sash tied around her waist and the plain dress all over her body.

When she came close, Hang Hehuan saw her face clearly.

Everything else is nothing special, only the pair of silver pupils are very eye-catching, and the only thing competing with these eyes is the cinnabar mole that seems to be dotted on the center of the eyebrow.

About five steps away from Hang Hehuan, the "person" stopped, looked straight at Hang Hehuan, and raised the corners of his mouth.Hang Hehuan was in a trance for a while, and actually overlapped the one in front of her with the cat that led them over just now.

"Welcome to the return of the saint."

Hang Hehuan: "..."? ? ! !I didn't hear what you said was too windy! !

Immediately afterwards, all the cats that were everywhere disappeared, and instead, those who knelt on the ground behind the woman wearing a bamboo hat were all covered by black robes and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the Holy Maiden!" return!"

Hang Hehuan held the instrument tightly, looked at the "person" opposite and asked in a cold voice, "Where is my master?"

The "person" kept on smiling sharply, and responded: "Saint, don't worry, since the person brought back by the saint is a distinguished guest of my demon clan."

"I'm going to see my master now!"

Even if Hang Hehuan's tone was not kind, the "person" didn't show any displeasure on his face, and he followed Hang Hehuan's meaning, "Saint, please come with me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the direction he came from with the lantern in hand, but the warm orange candlelight in the lantern had already turned into a dark blue-purple.

Hang Hehuan looked at the handsome man who walked away without seeming worried about whether she would follow, while the two rows of black robes kneeling in front of him seemed to be urging silently.

Hang Hehuan shook the instrument end vigorously, and finally followed. The most important thing now is to find her master first, and the rest... Go back and find Zhang Lingge to settle the score! !
