Yaoyue stood on the stone stairs at the entrance of the Taoist temple in a daze with a broom in his hand. There were also several ginkgo trees outside the Taoist temple. Every time the ginkgo leaves fell, he would think of the ones in front of the Feiyu Hall. Will the leaves in front of the Feiyu Hall also fall at this time?

"Hey, you little eunuch, why are you so dazed?"

An unknown little Taoist priest passed by the door carrying a handful of water and shouted to Yaoyue: "Look, there are so many leaves on the steps, sweep them away quickly!"

"Hey, you-"

"What are you doing?" The little Taoist glanced at Yaoyue, "Your master was sent to the temple to practice, and you are just a slave. It would be nice to let you stay in the temple to clean up, otherwise, you think

Can our Taoist temple really allow a eunuch to live here?"

"I -" Yaoyue was furious, but she didn't really want to argue with the little Taoist priest. After feeling aggrieved for a long time, she could only say, "Okay, I'll clean it up now."

When the little Taoist priest brought water into the Taoist temple, Yaoyue picked up the broom and continued to sweep up the fallen leaves.

In the sky of the town at the foot of the mountain in the distance, a group of dark clouds suddenly drifted slowly. Yaoyue raised her eyes and suddenly felt that the dark clouds seemed a bit strange. After all, in a clear sky, why was there only one dark cloud that was so low...

…

That night, after finishing the day's work, Yaoyue slept in the woodshed as usual.

The Taoist priests only have a few rooms, and they are not willing to sleep with a eunuch on the same bunk, so Yaoyue is too lazy to argue with them. Since his senior sister went into seclusion, he began to sleep in the woodshed.

Yao Yue was really used to sleeping on the golden brocade of the palace, and sleeping on such a damp and wet earth floor, Yaoyue could hardly sleep a night. Moreover, inexplicably these days, he could always hear the sound coming down the mountain.

A bell is ringing. It's almost three o'clock in the night, who is ringing the bell...

I don't know how many days passed by cleaning during the day and sleeping in the woodshed at night, and the system didn't give him any intention of fast forwarding.

This morning, Yaoyue, who had dark circles under her eyes, got up early and went to clean the fallen leaves outside the courtyard gate. It was originally a sunny day, but she saw that strange dark cloud from a distance.

Just when he felt strange, several villagers suddenly ran from the bottom of the mountain.

"Taoist, Taoist, help us!" They hurriedly ran up the mountain without recognizing who the person in front of them was, so they knelt down in front of him one by one.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Yaoyue was startled, dropped the broom and rushed forward to help a few people up, "What's going on?"

One of the young men said in a panic: "Taoist Master, there are monsters in the town!"

Yaoyue narrowed her eyes: "Monster?"

Another older man was panting, but still wanted to answer: "In the past few days, residents in the town can hear the bell ringing every night. When the bell rings at night, there are always residents there the next day.

Mysterious death.”

"If this is the case, you should report it to the official." Yaoyue wondered, "This may be a premeditated murder case."

The older man immediately shook his head: "All the injuries on the corpse were scratched by the claws of animals, and they are still smelling black!"

Just as Yaoyue was about to say something, the real little Taoist priests from Bixia Temple ran out in a queue with wooden swords. One of them pushed Yaoyue away aggressively and said to the villagers: "We are the ones from Bixia Temple."

Taoist priest, that's just a sweeper. Tell us if you have anything to say!"

The panicked villagers told them again about the monsters in the town.

"The body died in such a tragic manner that the workers were helpless! After much deliberation, we had no choice but to go to our Taoist temple—"

"Then you have found the right person." The young Taoist priest turned around and told his junior brothers, "Go and tell your uncle that we are going down the mountain!"

"Hey, wait a minute -" Yaoyue, who was pushed aside, tugged on the sleeve of the leading Taoist priest, "It's too dangerous for you to go like this. You can't go hastily!" After all, that black cloud is too weird. If it's true,

What the townspeople said was that there were monsters. Wouldn't it be dangerous for these few Taoist priests to go there alone?

However, the leading young Taoist priest looked at Yaoyue and sneered, saying: "Our duty is to promote good and eliminate evil. Since there are monsters causing trouble, how can we not take action? Is it a waste to watch the townspeople die like this?"

Yaoyue said, "That's true, but... how about you take me with you?"

The little Taoist priests looked at each other, and the leader pointed at the broom in Yaoyue's arms and said sternly: "Clean your hygiene well!"

After that, several Taoist priests asked the townspeople to go down the mountain first. After they reported to their uncle, they would go down the mountain to meet them.

After several Taoist priests entered the Taoist temple, Yaoyue threw the broom away.

"Clean up the hell." He made a face towards the door and glanced down the mountain again. That dark cloud... maybe it can no longer be called a dark cloud, but can only be called a black cloud. That black cloud was rolling fiercely.

, seemed to carry a strong evil aura. Yaoyue felt that things were not that simple, so she quickly made a secret, turned into a wisp of smoke, and slipped down the mountain.

It was still noon at this moment, it was time to go door-to-door to eat, and there were no people on the streets.

Yaoyue walked casually, hoping to find some clues. But suddenly she sighed, it was obviously a palace drama last week, and now it suddenly changed back to an immortal drama, which seemed to catch him off guard.

However, are the "monsters" mentioned by the townspeople real? Or is someone doing it on purpose?

He has watched Han Yi govern the country for so long, but he has never heard of any monsters in Dayan Kingdom. Even the royal Taoist temples are only used by the royal family to burn incense and pray for blessings. Do those Taoist priests really know how to catch monsters?

?

At this moment, Yaoyue suddenly felt a burst of oppressive black air coming towards his face. He raised his eyes and saw a black smoke visible to the naked eye flying towards a corner of the alley at an extremely fast speed. Yaoyue said

Shocked, he jumped up and chased after him.

One setting in the script that he likes very much is that he is not Su Ziwei, but Hu Yaoyue. So he does not have asthma and can run.

Every time he ran, it was like a dream to Yaoyue, so he ran very fast and chased into the alley with almost no effort.

However, no matter how fast Yaoyue moved, when she chased her into the alley, the black gas was still gone. There was only a shaky basket stacked with vegetables, which seemed to have been hit by the black gas just a few seconds ago.

Yaoyue was a little confused. When she walked out of the alley, she suddenly bumped into an old man who was telling fortunes.

The old man was wearing a Taoist robe, but he looked like a mouse, with narrow eyes and a long mouth. He was carrying a box behind him, with a flag on the box and the word "divination" written on it.
