Life is like a post, and the years are like a shuttle;

The dead are gone, and the living are precious.

For thousands of miles, I will never tire of thinking about my father;

This feeling is precious, and there is no one who wants to return.

Dongfang Ying walked all the way along the street, the doors of every house were locked, the lights were turned off and it was silent.Looking into the depths of the road, it seems that there is a shadow of a building in front of it. It is dark and rumbling, and it is not clear. It looks like an inn.So he walked forward and saw the name of the shop when he stood at the door—Qingwu Inn, but the door was locked tightly, and there was a dead silence inside.

Dongfang Ying frowned, looked up to the room above, and suddenly saw a figure standing by the window, looking straight at him, and the two looked at each other very vigilantly.The man above opened his mouth first and said, "Are you a human? Are you going to die now?"

Dongfang Ying replied: "I'm from another place and I want to find a place to live."

"You must have known that a homicide happened here, who are you?" the man said angrily.

Dongfang Ying heard that this man's voice was thick and powerful, he was not an ordinary person, and if he dared to open the window to talk at this moment, he must have come to catch monsters, so he smiled and said, "My dear brother, don't be angry. I'm here to catch monsters."

The man said: "No one dares to let you stay in the hotel now. You can come up directly!" He patted the window wood.

"Thank you!" He said and jumped into the window.

The man said: "I've lived here for a few days, and I haven't seen any monsters. All the ones who could escape from the inn have escaped, and the rest dare not make a sound when they hear the noise. Since we are all monster hunters, we are not afraid of attracting monsters." The monsters come over, why don't you light up a lamp and chat." After speaking, he lit an oil lamp, the light was dim, the cold wind from outside the window came through, and the lights fluttered with the wind, disappearing and appearing like will-o'-the-wisps, the two looked at each other, their complexions as white as ghosts.

The man carefully looked at this demon catcher from other places, his face was powdered, his eyebrows were like fine willows, his dragon and phoenix posture, his natural temperament, a cherry blossom between his brows, and his waist was dressed with fine weapons, his sword was awe-inspiring, and he was stern when he was still. , moving and jovial, with a good heart, like a jade tree facing the wind, must come from the son of everyone.

The man asked: "The flower mark between your eyebrows doesn't look like it was drawn?"

"Indeed, it's what nature does."

The man said again: "I think you seem to be a person with a bright personality. My name is Zhong Daoyuan. I am a local demon catcher, an unknown junior. I have been lurking here for the past few days, looking for news about demons."

Dongfang Ying looked at this man, he was a rough man with a slender beard, he didn't look like a cowardly person, and he could inquire more information, so he said straightforwardly: "Brother, my name is Dongfang Ying, and I studied under a hermit in Kunlun Mountains. A nameless disciple. Master sent me out to practice in the human world. I heard that there are countless casualties here. Thank you for your help!"

Zhong Daoyuan said: "This monster haunts around here, and its whereabouts are unpredictable. We can work together to eliminate it."

"Okay. There seems to be no movement tonight. Tomorrow we can go to the dead together to see if there are any clues."

The lights went out, and the two lay down to rest.There was silence outside the window.

After a while, Dongfang Ying heard thunderous snoring beside him, and finally got some news about his father. He lay on the bed for a moment and was about to clear his mind, when suddenly he felt a gust of wind passing by outside the window, and a figure drifted past, mixed with his father's breath, But the strong Yin Qi overwhelmed the father's breath, this is not the father.However, he got up vigilantly and climbed to the top of the building through the window. He was looking around when he suddenly heard the screams and pain from a family in the distance, resounding through the sky.He strode across the roof, and when he got there, there was another dead silence.

Dongfang Ying thought: Not good, human life.Jumping into the dark yard, by the moonlight, I saw two corpses lying on the ground. Their blood was warm. In just a few seconds, they had died quietly from the living things.He went into the house to look for a book, and carefully inspected the death of the two middle-aged men: their faces were hideous, their limbs were twisted, and a hole was hollowed out in the heart.Manpower will not be like this, it must be the work of evil spirits.

The dew is already heavy, and the evil spirit is gone. It seems that this monster has gone far away and will not appear again today.

Dongfang Ying thought: Go back to the inn to rest first, and carefully investigate the condition of the corpse at dawn tomorrow, and then look for the condition of the other deceased to see if there is any new connection.He jumped up and went back to his residence quietly, only to hear that Zhong Daoyuan was sleeping soundly, without noticing it, it's fine if he doesn't mention it tomorrow, just pretend he doesn't know about it.Close the window quietly, and gradually fall asleep.

Early the next morning, the two were woken up by the noise outside, "Brother Li was killed by a monster," "The monster is too scary!"
