Across the wall, the roar of shouts gradually became weaker.Kong Beetle didn't know what to think of again, he raised his head and looked at the corner of the world outlined by the courtyard wall, fascinated.A few minutes later, he raised his hand to pinch the horns on his chin, and sighed.

Qin Yue narrowed her eyes and said to Guan Yunheng: "Let's go out and have a look."

Guan Yunheng was keenly aware that his mood suddenly fell off a cliff.He didn't ask immediately, but waited until he came out of the yard before saying, "Liu Suige has something to do."

No question, no surprise.

When she didn't know Guan Yunheng well, Qin Yue often lamented how a person like Guan Yunheng, who was so outspoken and would burst when he stepped on a thunderbolt, was in charge of a large company.It wasn't until he got along with him that he realized that this man could always maintain a certain degree of calmness and logic when encountering emergencies.Just like now, he has guessed it even though he hasn't said it yet.

Qin Yue gave a soft "um".He lowered his head, and the top of his head scraped Guan Yunheng's heart a few times, like a coquettish cat in the owner's arms.

His clenched palms were full of sweat, and his voice leaked muffled from between his hair and clothes: "What to do, Guan Yunheng? Something may have happened to Liu Suige. And I'm afraid I can't help you. This city was created by his demon power, which is similar to the courtyard of Kong Beetle. Although it looks ordinary, it is different after all. All things have established rules and will not exceed the controllable range."

He took a breath and tried his best to calm himself down: "Liu Suige is such an exquisite spirit, he wants to be perfect in everything, it is absolutely impossible to let the stage be damaged for so long. Besides, if he is really okay, the stage will not be there from the very beginning. It will collapse. The disappearance of the young spirit last time and this time must also be related to this."

He came to a conclusion helplessly: "He avoided seeing it, and he must have guessed that this matter would be ruined sooner or later."

Guan Yunheng let him lean on like this, and asked: "Then are you going to find him now?"

Qin Yue shook her head, smiled wryly and said: "He is such an old monster, there are many ways to hide from people, let's deal with the immediate matter first."

They turned out of the alley, and the once bustling Yaoshi stalls were now more than half empty.

In the distance, many people could be seen shaking with lanterns. They shouted loudly, calling someone's name.

There was a strange smell of burning candles in the air, Qin Yue said: "The monsters that are released in the demon city are all serious cultivation spirits, the ones with no criminal records. You have to figure out where those cubs went."

The few stall owners who stayed behind did not expect to continue to do business, and gathered together boredly, standing on the side of the road and chatting in groups.

The stall owner of the fat fish head snorted, "Did the guy with double ears slip away?"

Donkey Face nodded, and replied with disdain on his face: "Yes, it's not that you don't know that he is very timid, and he will run away if there is any trouble. As soon as this happened today, he insisted that an unknown person entered the demon market." They yelled that the demon market is not safe. According to me, this kind of wind will make you tremble three times. What kind of goods are you selling? Shut yourself in the house as soon as possible.”

Hai Xing stretched his limbs, and said cautiously: "You can't say that, there are still two children who lost last time and haven't found them. The ones who found them were also frightened and don't remember anything. What do you say? Is there anything weird in this city?"

Donkey Face shook his head, and continued to disdainfully said: "What's so weird? The left and right are just children running away for fun. Let me tell you, you shouldn't bring children in such a crowded place. trouble!"

After sighing for a while, he looked up and saw the good-looking monk and his companion standing in front of him, listening attentively.The few people were startled, their legs almost went limp, and they knelt down to the ground.

"You, you, what's the matter?" Fathead Fish stammered.Although the current monks don't shout and shout when they meet normal spiritual monsters, but low-level monsters like them still tremble subconsciously when they face monks directly.What's more, this person is said to be the descendant of the Fuqiu Xiao family.Now smiling warmly, who knows what Nei Li is thinking?

Qin Yue asked: "When the demon market opened last time, you also came in to sell goods?"

The three spirits stood close to each other, and after looking at each other, they answered one after another——

Last time I went to Xihai to buy goods, and I didn't have time to come back to set up a stall. "

"I sold it."

"I sold it too."

Qin Yue then asked the two who gave an affirmative answer: "Then do you remember what it was like to lose a child last time?"

The expressions of the spirits suddenly became a little strange.One is because there are some monks who would take care of the family's lost children, and the other is because they watched the excitement and didn't know the ins and outs of the incident.

Hai Xing and Fat Head Fish looked at each other, and replied hesitantly: "To tell you the truth, we both drank too much last time, and we didn't know that a child had escaped until we woke up. We don't know the specific situation."

Is that so?Qin Yue frowned slightly regretfully, turned around and decided to inquire about other stalls.

Suddenly, the fat-headed fish's eyes lit up, and he said as if asking for credit: "Wait! Shuang... oh, why are you stepping on me?"

Donkey Face didn't have time to retract his feet, hanging in the air in embarrassment.

"Hehe." He coughed and stretched his ankle: "I've been standing for a long time, move around."

"..." They are not blind!

Qin Yue looked at Fathead Fish encouragingly: "Say it."

The latter glared at Donkey's face reproachfully, straightened his chest and said: "My ears must know it. I heard him talk about it today. He said with convincing words that there are unclean things in the demon market. Duh, it's ridiculous. This world is still Is there anything more unclean than monsters and spirits?"

He chuckled twice and said seriously: "Although nine out of ten sentences are exaggerated, one part is always true."

Qin Yue asked him: "The ears you are talking about..."

Fathead Fish said in astonishment, "It's that antler merchant who sold books to you before!"

Antler merchant?Really did not expect!

Qin Yue recalled the appearance and characteristics of the monster, and asked again: "What about others? Just now you said that he has left."

Fat-headed fish replied nonchalantly: "He went towards the gate of the demon market. However, according to the rules of hundreds of years, the market is not closed and the gate is not open. Maybe he was afraid and hid."

Qin Yue thanked him, and walked towards the entrance with Guan Yunheng.

Before he had gone far, he heard the donkey's face said in a loud voice: "Fatty, you are not kind. That's a monk, what if the ears are not good?"

Fat-headed fish snorted and laughed: "Who told him to sell all these messy things, bluffing and cheating. He also lowered the price to steal my business. Besides, I just told the truth without embellishing it. What's wrong?"

Hai Xing's voice was thin, with obvious hesitation: "But..."

"But what?" Fathead Yu snapped up the question: "Is it hard to choose whether you are unlucky or he is unlucky?"

Donkey Face and Starfish were silent, and replied in unison: "Of course I choose him!"

The eternal law, a dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor fellow!

The words flowed into the ears of Qin Yue and Guan Yunheng along the wind.

"..."

"What is reality, this is reality." Guan Yunheng commented with great interest.

**********

Borrowing the moon, the black shadow dragged an oversized cloth bag, panting, to the gate of the confinement demon city.

Looking around, he walked all the way to the three bricks on the door frame and stretched out his hand.The place where his fingertips touched the bricks became transparent and became a thin piece, as if it could become a piece of transparent paper and get out from the gaps in the old blue bricks.

"Both ears." Suddenly a strange but familiar voice called his name.

Hei Ying froze for a moment, his legs and feet went limp, as if recalling a terrifying experience.He collapsed to the ground, shrunk into a small ball.He knocked his forehead heavily on the ground, and cried out: "Great Immortal, spare my life, Great Immortal. I have rough skin and thick flesh, and it is very unpalatable! Although I don't have an eighty-year-old mother, I have sick and weak children! If I die The little girl will die if left unattended! I beg you to be merciful and arrest others!"

"Catch others? Are you referring to those children?" Qin Yue lit the open fire talisman in his hand, approached and asked.

After seeing who it was, his ears were sweating profusely, and he sat down on the ground.He murmured, "It's you."

After being relieved, a humble smile unique to a small person appeared on his face.This kind of smile, Qin Yue had seen a very similar one in the mirror before in order to finish her work.

Qin Yue took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "What are you afraid of?"

Whispering, maintaining a stiff and funny sitting posture, like a goose being strangled by someone.His eyes widened numbly.There is also a gray mark on the forehead due to the previous kowtow.

Qin Yue deliberately asked condescendingly: "How do you know that there is a crack in the enchantment here?"

"Boundary crack?" He squinted his ears in confusion, and gestured with all his strength: "I don't know what kind of barrier crack this is! I only know that I can go back outside through this."

"Then how do you know? Such a hidden location. It's the same question as before, what are you afraid of?"

The same question hit home again.The antlers on the top of the head were shaking in both ears, and the eyes were full of fear.

"No, I don't have anything! I just want to withdraw cash. As you can see, this batch of goods is not good, and they can't be sold at a good price here. I plan to try my luck in another place!"

He gritted his teeth desperately, fearing that he would slip up.

Qin Yue stared at him, her tone was very light: "Then it seems that you also lied before."

"What?" His ears were suffocated, and he couldn't tell which time point "before" was referring to.He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Qin Yue had already continued.

"The so-called love is deep, and the poison of a tiger does not eat its children. You started to say that there are sick and childish children under your knees. How can you not understand the feelings of being a parent? It shows that you are not telling the truth."

"No! I'm telling the truth!" Even though he faintly felt wrong, his ears still tremblingly took out an old-fashioned wallet from his body, and showed a photo inside.The photo has faded to yellow, but you can see a little girl in your arms, and both of them are smiling sweetly.

Qin Yue looked at him for a while, then looked straight into his eyes: "If that's the case, why don't you tell the truth? Shuang Er, you have not only seen the things that took the children away, but you even know where those children went. I mean, yes Not right!?"

As if struck by a bolt of lightning in a rainstorm, the deer demon's body convulsed violently.He swallowed hard, his expression becoming more and more painful.

He looked into the eyes of the young monk.The young man's clear eyes were like a mirror, calmly reflecting his ugliness.No mocking, no judgment, but still embarrassing.

It turned out to be true.His mind was in a mess, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

I once heard an old man in the clan say that monsters are afraid of monks because they can see all their dark sides in the other's eyes.At that moment, the monster will hate its own existence from the bottom of its heart.

"It turns out that this statement is true." Unknowingly, he announced his thoughts.

"Shuang Er, tell me, where did those children go?"

Shocked, he rolled over and sat up from the ground: "It's a big bird. Some of it looks like an eagle, and some of it doesn't."

He swallowed his saliva five or six times before he could spell out a complete sentence.

"When the market opened last time, I lost something, so I went all the way back to look for it. Near here, I saw that bird. He took two sleeping dolls to the outside through the gap in the city wall."

He paused for a few seconds, then continued: "I followed up until twenty miles away."

His voice was high-pitched, and his eyes were fixed on a certain point in the air: "He found me! He pressed my neck and warned that if I dare to speak out, he will make me open my stomach!"

After finishing speaking, his two hands were clenched tightly, and the back of his hand was pressed with white marks.

"I wanted to save them! I won't lie to you! But I can't, I can't!"

After the hysteria, he whispered, "I'm scared. I have a baby to feed. What will she do if I die? Maybe it's just the perfect excuse, but I'm scared."

Qin Yue patted him on the shoulder: "it's not too late to say it now."

As soon as the words fell, his ears were like waking up from a big dream, and he covered his mouth in despair: "Did I say it? Did I really say it?"

"That's right. So it's a death anyway, don't you mind leading the way?"

"..." Was he being tricked?

Guan Yunheng looked at the back of the deer demon with hunched shoulders, and asked, "What did you do?"

"It's just a harmless vomit mantra. He is really defensive. So I used a lit fire talisman to divert his attention. At first I was a little worried that it wouldn't work. Fortunately, it finally worked."

"……Good for you."

"Of course, I'm a professional!"

*********

The bird demon in the mouth of both ears lives in a dense forest twenty miles away, which is also the deepest part of the forest park.Qin Yue pinched the fast-moving formula, with the anxious deer demon on the left hand side, and Guan Yunheng who was not used to the current traffic mode on the right hand side, and it didn't take long to get there.

Dense shade blocks the starlight, and the woods turn into monsters with boozy growths.The shadows of the trees are flickering, and all the things that can be admired during the day become hideous and extraordinarily gloomy.

All the way, the ears were thinking "dead", but at this time, the emotion had crossed the threshold and became numb and calm.Qin Yue could even read from his eyes the detachment of "die as long as you die, at least there are monks behind you".

"It was there last time, and I didn't dare to go any further." The deer demon pointed to a tree lying on the ground five or six steps away.

"I just don't know how many children he caught this time?" And why only children?Last time, the ears have followed this position. If it is for eating, the volume of the ears is obviously more important.But he was let go.

And the smell here, there is no smell of blood, nor the peculiar smell of evil spirits.But if it is a good thing, what are you doing with the children?What exactly is it?

After walking forward for a while, I heard the rustling of heavy objects on the fallen leaves.

Both ears turned around and wanted to run, but Guan Yunheng grabbed him: "Want to run?"

Both ears were speechless and choked: "You are alone, why are you not afraid at all?"

The man looked at him with caring eyes: "Is it useful to be afraid?"

He reflexively replied: "No."

After finishing speaking, he was stunned, and stomped his feet vigorously: "But what does this have to do with being afraid?!" It's like dying one day, but still eating seriously!It's useless to be afraid, but he's still scared to death!

"Papa Papa".Probably sensing an intruder, the monster inside sped up and came out.There was a slight vibration on the ground, and countless gravel bounced up and down.After so many repetitions, Qin Yue finally saw the true face of the legendary bird demon.

Qin Yue: "...so fat." Bi Xiangliu's waist-to-hip ratio seemed even more exaggerated.

"Indeed, it's a miracle that this body can still walk." Guan Yunheng nodded in agreement.

Shuang Er: "..." Don't you know what fear is?Hey, is it too late to faint now? !
