Two days later, East Qin City.

Hu San is a noodle seller. There is a noodle shop on the side of the street. The business is booming on weekdays, and there is an endless stream of people who come to eat noodles.At noon at this time, there was no one on the pavement, and there were not many people wandering on the huge street. It was a desolate scene.

The sun in early spring made people feel warm, and Hu San nodded, sitting at the table and dozing off.While half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard a young man's voice:

"Excuse me, is there any more noodles?"

Hu San tilted his head, his eyes hadn't opened yet, and he responded reflexively:

"Yes, yes! What kind of noodles does the guest officer eat?"

He looked up and saw a thin figure under the warm golden sunlight.He was dressed in gray and white clothes, with a long object wrapped obliquely on his back, and a straw hat on his head, only his well-shaped chin was exposed.

"Let's have a bowl of secret beef noodles." The man looked at the menu on the signboard and said slowly.

Hu San got up all at once, stepped forward and wiped the table vigorously: "Okay, sir, please sit down, two low-grade spirit stones for secret beef noodles."

The man who took out the money paused, seemed to be choked up, and said hesitantly: "...Let's have a bowl of clear water noodles."

Hu San was stunned, and immediately realized: "Okay, a low-grade spirit stone on the surface of Qingshui."

Hu San collected the money and entered the room. The young man sat down at the table, took off his straw hat, and revealed a fair face. It was Lou Yun.

He weighed the purse, but it was almost empty, with a few scattered spirit stones inside, colliding with each other, exuding a breath of poverty.

……Hey.

If I knew that the folk thieves are so powerful, I shouldn't take the money out of the ring and put it in the money bag for convenience.

It was just that I was bumped into by someone accidentally, and when I came back to my senses, more than half of the money was lost. This skill is better than some practitioners, so what can I do wrong?

Lou Yun put away the purse, and his eyes fell on the straw hat.

When he went down the mountain, Qi Chao didn't come, but Jin Bai who hadn't seen him for many days came to see him off.I also brought him a straw hat, saying that wearing a hat would save a lot of trouble when walking down the mountain.

Even Jinbai has more feelings than Qi Chao, Lou Yun feels a little frustrated.

He looked around, this is Dongqin City, which is the destination harassed by monsters.I don't know if this is the reason, but since entering the city, the streets are deserted, and even the shops are seldom open.

Just thinking about it, the clear water is on the table.

Lou Yun thanked the shopkeeper and asked casually:

"Shopkeeper, I see that there are very few people on this street, but has it always been like this?"

Hu San sighed: "Guest officer, you just entered the city, so you don't know anything. A while ago, children from several families disappeared, and people heard strange beasts calling in the middle of the night. Everyone said that there were monsters coming to eat people. It made people panic, and no one dared to go out."

"Then have you ever seen what a monster looks like?"

Hu San shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it before, but everyone has said that the monster has two heads, a tall figure, and is elusive. It's very scary!"

When Lou Yun heard it, he felt like a monster in a storybook. He just described it according to the appearance, but he didn't know whether it was so, so he gave up.

After eating the noodles, he asked the shopkeeper about the place where the child was lost. Lou Yun put on his straw hat and was going to investigate.

It was quite deserted along the way, and when I saw a figure, I was in a hurry and passed by in a flash.Lou Yun stood in front of a house and was about to knock on the door when suddenly half of his body leaned out from the courtyard wall beside him.

Lou Yun was startled, the man was dressed in tight black clothes, his figure was agile, he rolled over quietly and landed firmly on the ground.

"stop!"

Seeing that the man was about to leave, Lou Yun hurriedly shouted.

Stealing in broad daylight?What audacity!

Lou Yun was furious when he thought of the pile of spirit stones he had inexplicably lacked.

The man in black turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at him lightly without panicking.

Lou Yun can see clearly now that this person has a good appearance, with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a tough outline. If a woman sees it, she should be the type to fall in love with at first sight.

It's a pity that there is a scar across the right eye, with gloomy brows, and a sense of bitterness and hatred.

"I didn't take anything." The man threw a sentence at him and turned to leave.

"You didn't take anything, so why are you sneaking around, instead of going through the main entrance, you want to climb over the wall?"

Lou Yun didn't believe it, so he dodged in front of him, without using his spiritual power, he pulled out the Dongshuang sword on his back without unsheathing it, and the man casually took a bamboo pole by the wall, and the two fought back and forth like this .

Just after exchanging two moves, Lou Yun suddenly felt that this person's cultivation was far above his own, not like an ordinary person.Sure enough, after two moves, Lou Yun was repelled, and the man made a backhand, and the straw hat on Lou Yun's head flew up and landed aside.

"I didn't do anything harmful, so don't meddle in my own business."

The man glanced at him, seemed unfamiliar, and didn't want to pester him any more, threw the bamboo pole in his hand, turned and left.

What a strange person.

Lou Yun thought.His skills are not as good as others, and it is useless to chase after him, and it seems that this person really does not look like a thief, maybe he has misunderstood.He returned to the front door of the residents and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his 40s with a tense expression. He looked at Lou Yun suspiciously.Lou Yun quickly explained the purpose of coming, saying that he was ordered by his teacher to come here to solve the disturbance of the monsters and wanted to know the situation.The middle-aged man's expression softened, so he invited him in.

The family lost their youngest child a few days ago, and there was a sense of mourning in the family.During the conversation, Lou Yun learned that the child was lost at night, when the wind was very loud that night, and the trees in the courtyard were rustled.

When I got up in the morning, I saw that the tree in the yard had fallen, the door of the child's room was wide open, a big hole was broken in the window, and no one was there.

Now the child can't be found, and the whole family guards another child, and the slightest disturbance is like a frightened bird.

"I don't know if the monster will come again. I heard that the two children from the neighbor's house were stolen by the monster one after another! Hey, I don't know if it's life or death."

"Woooooo...my poor child..."

The middle-aged man frowned tightly, with a sad expression on his face.The woman beside her couldn't take it any longer, and cried while hugging the child in her arms.

The child in his arms looked six or seven years old and looked at a loss, his eyes widened and he called mother in a low voice.

Lou Yun thought for a while, and said: "Don't worry, it's better like this, take care of the child tonight, I will stay in his room and see if I will meet that monster tonight."

The couple nodded and thanked him again and again, almost treating him as a living Bodhisattva who can help the world, offering food and drink.

At night, the temperature is slightly cool, and everything is silent.

Lou Yun was lying on the bed with his clothes still on, with Dongshuang sword in his hand, eyes half closed, waiting quietly.

There was the sound of a watch from a distance in the street, and it was past the third watch.The moonlight shines through the thin paper window and casts a hazy light on the foot of the bed.

Lou Yun waited for a long time with his ears pricked up, but there was no abnormality, and drowsiness gradually came over him.His eyelids drooped a few times, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Half asleep and half awake, Lou Yun had an intuition that something was wrong.

A line of sight was fixed on him.

This line of sight seemed to have been staring at it for a long time, if there was nothing there, it couldn't be ignored.

Lou Yun's heart tightened, and he woke up instantly from his lethargy.He closed his eyes, breathed steadily, and remained asleep. He couldn't help thinking:

Is that monster coming?Ready to catch me?

After waiting quietly for a while, the breath gradually approached.

In the blink of an eye, Lou Yun caught the right moment, opened his eyes and reached out to touch the Dongshuang Sword beside him!

There was a familiar chuckle in his ear.

Before he realized what it was, his wrist was instantly clasped, and he was firmly pressed against the bed.

"do not move."

A low voice sounded above his head, with a persuasive tone.

Immediately, scorching breath spewed on the side of the ear, and the voice became a little softer, almost breathless:

"Be good, I'll collect some interest."
