Siheyuan: I'm not happy, don't even think about having a good life

Half an hour later, Xia Bing was full. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and stood up. "Thank you, Brother Hong, for your hospitality. Xia Bing will take his leave first. I will stay in the city to catch monsters recently. If you need me for something, I will send out a flare as a signal." As he said that, he handed a flare to Hong Guan.

Hong Guan took it with a smile and said, "Miss Xia, your skills are average. There is a master in the Yuelai Inn in the city named Pang Yong. He used to be the commander of Yumen Pass. You can cooperate with him. This is safer.

If you encounter a problem that you can’t solve, you can always come to me or fire a signal arrow, and I will come to the rescue when I see it.”

Xia Bing's face turned red, but she still nodded, "Thank you, Xia Bing will remember it."

After saying that, he was about to climb over the wall and leave, but Hong Guan called out, "Just go through the door."

Xia Bing nodded awkwardly, opened the door and left.

At this time, Xiaoqing said with interest, "Brother Guan, this girl is quite interesting. Are you interested in her?"

Hong Guan glanced at Xiao Qing and said, "If I were interested, I would be interested in you and Xiao Bai. How could I be interested in a slovenly girl? But you are right. This girl is really interesting."

Bai Suzhen blushed, glanced at Hong Guan, then lowered her head and looked at her toes. Xiaoqing raised her head, still very satisfied with what Hong Guan said.

"Brother Guan, why did you treat this girl to a meal and deliberately tell her to go to Yuelai Inn to find Pang Yong?"

"Haha, don't you feel a sense of fate? First, a monster entered the city, then the guard who had left Yumen Pass for many years came back, and finally it was a descendant of a monster-catching family. However, the ability of this descendant is really ordinary."

"Brother Guan, what do you mean?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Yumen Pass will soon be bustling with activity, and that's when we'll get credit. The barbarians are brutal, and if they break through Yumen Pass, they'll definitely kill people. If we keep Yumen Pass, we'll definitely get credit."

Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen showed satisfied looks, they were from the demon race and did not care about the life and death of humans, but naturally the more merits the better.

Three days later, at night, a tiger roared, "Where are you running to, monster?"

Hong Guan stood on the roof and saw a burst of energy and blood on the street in the distance. Is this the legendary energy and blood like a wolf smoke?

Immediately afterwards, a figure was seen jumping onto the roof and jumping on the roof continuously at a very fast speed. It was the lizard spirit Xiao Yi who had cut off his tail to survive.

There were loud footsteps coming from the ground, each one was like a muffled thunder. It was the sound of Pang Yong chasing on the ground. His body was too big, and if he went up to the roof, it would be easy for him to step on the roof and let Xiao Yi escape!

At this time, several other figures flew onto the roof, raised their hands and flicked them, and a large number of fire talismans flew out and turned into fireballs, attacking Xiao Yi. It was the people from the city's Monster Catching Bureau who had arrived!

But the power of the attack was too small. Xiao Yi kept throwing out hidden weapons similar to scales, which exploded the fireball without affecting its escape at all.

Just when Xiao Yi turned around again to knock away the talisman arrow, Pang Yong shouted and threw the Guandao in his hand. With a flash of black shadow, the Guandao pierced Xiao Yi's body directly and knocked him off the roof.

Hong watched clearly that although the Guan Dao hit the chest, it only left a small wound, barely breaking the defense, but did not hurt the lizard monster at all.

This is also thanks to the evil spirit that has accumulated in the Guandao over the years, otherwise it would not be possible to break the defense!

Seeing Xiao Yi being knocked down and falling to the ground, the Demon Catcher reacted quickly. He took out the demon-binding rope carved with cinnabar and went towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stood up with a somersault, swung the sword in his hand, and a dazzling sword light flashed. In a few strokes, he cut the rope that tied the monster.

The people from the Monster Catching Department threw out fire and thunder talismans, but Xiao Yi dodged most of them. Even if he was hit by one occasionally, it would only leave a charred mark on his leather armor, but he would not be hurt.

At this moment, five more people from the Monster Catching Bureau arrived. Judging from their rank, they were higher than the previous five. They stood in five directions and kept forming seals. A water dragon appeared from the sky, opened its mouth wide, and bit Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's face changed, he was no longer as relaxed as before, demonic aura appeared on his body and he was covered with a layer of earth armor. He slapped the ground and a spike of earth rose from the ground, heading towards the water dragon in the sky!

With a collision, the water dragon shattered. The people from the Monster Catching Bureau had become so rubbish that Hong Guan couldn't help but shake his head.

But while Xiao Yi was delayed, Pang Yong also chased after him, picked up the Guan Dao on the ground, shouted "Kill!", turned his body, swung the Guan Dao in a circle, and chopped at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi snorted coldly and swung his sword casually to meet the attack. Although it looked thin, it was also a thousand-year-old monster. Its true form was a sand lizard. Its strength could not be weaker than Pang Yong's, so he was naturally not afraid!

But it forgot one thing. The sword in its hand was no longer the original magic weapon. The sword was broken and was collected by Hong Guan to be used as a material for refining weapons.

With a "clang" sound, the two weapons collided. The Guandao itself was heavy, and it was mixed with a lot of meteorite iron. It was so powerful that it broke the sword in Xiaoyi's hand with one blow, and the blade cut Xiaoyi's shoulder.

This attack, with Pang Yong's tremendous blood and energy, as well as the murderous spirit on the sword, actually cut into Xiao Yi, breaking his flesh and blood and getting stuck on his shoulder blade.

Xiao Yi looked at Pang Yong in disbelief and said, "Ah, you mortal, I want you to die!" After that, he stomped his feet and a large number of ground spikes appeared, like blooming lotus flowers, stabbing in all directions.

The man who was holding the rope to tie up the monster had no time to retreat and was stabbed into a bloody gourd, dying on the spot.

Pang Yong dragged his sword and swung his Guandao, cutting off the ground spikes while his body kept retreating without being injured.

The demonic energy that Xiao Yi mobilized had exceeded the critical point, causing the formation of Yumen Pass to react. A large number of formation patterns appeared on the city wall, dark clouds appeared in the sky, and in an instant, a bolt of lightning struck down!

Xiao Yi's pupils turned into those of a sand lizard. Before he could dodge, he was struck by lightning and screamed "Ah!"

Then, thunder continued to strike Xiao Yi's position, and soon the screams disappeared. The formation stopped, leaving a deep pit on the ground. The stones inside were crystallized. No corpses were seen, but a lot of sand lizard skin and scales were left.

At this time, Wang Sheng also arrived with his men. When he saw Pang Yong, his expression changed, but he soon smiled. "Brother Yong, long time no see. Where have you been in all these years? Everyone misses you!"

Pang Yong also knew the power of the formation and thought that the lizard monster was dead. When he saw Wang Sheng, the corners of his mouth raised unnaturally, revealing a fake smile.

"I missed home, so I came back to visit. I didn't expect to encounter a monster digging out my heart, so I helped. Fortunately, the formation inside the pass was activated, otherwise I would not be a match for this monster."

"Brother Yong, how did you find this monster? We have been searching for so long and haven't found any trace of the monster."

Just as Pang Yong was about to reply, Xia Bing ran over breathlessly, grabbed Pang Yong's arm, and said breathlessly, "How is it? Was the monster destroyed? I said that although I am not very capable, it is still easy for me to find a monster."

"It depends on her. She was originally from the Xia family, the demon catcher. She is very good at finding demons."

In the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, the Xia family is no unknown family. They once worked as monster catchers, but later suffered heavy losses while catching monsters, so they withdrew from the Monster Catching Bureau.

Wang Sheng bowed and said, "So you are a disciple of the Xia family. Thank you very much. If you hadn't helped, who knows how many people in the city would have suffered."

Xia Bing had already caught her breath, picked up the water bag and took a sip. "You're welcome. My Xia family's ancestral teachings say that it is our responsibility to exorcise demons and monsters. I just saw the formation in the city activated. Has the monster been eliminated?"

Someone from the Monster Catching Division came over and bowed to Xia Bing. "That should be the case. We didn't see the monster running away. I guess it must have been destroyed, with only some fragments left."

Xia Bing came to the edge of the big pit to check, and remembered that Hong Guan said the monster was a thousand-year-old monster. Seeing that there was only skin and scales around, he showed a solemn look.

"This monster is not dead yet."

"How is that possible? We watched the thunder crush the monster to dust, but we didn't see him escape!"

“I’ve heard people say before that this monster is a thousand-year-old monster. They all have their own life-saving skills, so it’s very difficult to really kill them.

Even if it was killed by thunder, there shouldn't be only this much left. I saw the power of thunder just now, it's not that strong."

"But we certainly didn't see the monster escape."

At this time, Wang Sheng spoke up, "We have discussed this before. This monster is a special species of sand lizard. It can change color without revealing its evil spirit. I guess it runs this way!"

Thinking of this, the people from the Monster Catching Division frowned. The monster didn't die, but four of their people died. Moreover, the monster was in the dark while they were in the light. This made it very difficult to deal with!

Xia Bing spoke at the right time, "During this period of time, everyone should be on full alert. Although the monster is not dead, it should be injured.

There are two possibilities. One is that it needs a large amount of blood for food, so it will definitely hunt a large number of people.

The second is to hide and wait quietly for the wound to heal. So we have to search with all our strength. Even if we can't find this monster, we have to make sure he doesn't dare to hunt the people."

Wang Sheng and the people from the Monster Catching Division nodded, indicating that they agreed with Xia Bing's statement.

Wang Sheng looked at Pang Yong and said, "Brother Yong, the city is in turmoil right now. If the monster is not caught, the people will not have peace. If Brother Yong has no urgent business, can you stay for a few more days and help catch the monster?"

Pang Yong clasped his fists and said, "Of course, even if you didn't tell me, I would still stay. It's just right that Xia Bing and I will work together to find the monster as soon as possible and kill it to prevent future troubles!"

"Brother Yong is right. Please take good care of Miss Xia."

Pang Yong nodded and left with Xia Bing. Wang Sheng watched the two leave with a strange look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking!

The others dispersed, and the shrunken Hong Guan was also carried by a small piece of iron and flew back to the house. He told the two snakes, Qing and Bai, about what had just happened. Xiao Qing couldn't help but say, "Brother Guan, this lizard spirit is really lucky!"

Hong Guan laughed and said, "Indeed, but it has probably used up most of its life-saving tricks. When we make a move, we can kill it in one go!"

Xiaoqing waved her fist and said, "Yes, kill him!"

The three of them burst into laughter immediately, but in Wang Sheng's mansion, in Xiao Wei's room, the atmosphere was not so cheerful.
