Chapter Five At this time, a young Taoist happened to pass by

Logically speaking, Chu Banshan has nothing to worry about. Qi Li is a recently famous monk in Qinghe County. In this year, he has handled not less than 20 but also 15 cases. None of them were handled beautifully and settled once and for all.

?

I'm afraid that after handling Gu Huoniao's case this time, he will be able to accumulate enough merits to be promoted to Bai Yujing's bronze medal patrol officer and be transferred away from the small county of Qinghe County.

Soon, the sky became dark.

There are no more than a hundred households in Qinghe County. At this time, the smoke is curling from the kitchens, the lights are bright, and they are full of the atmosphere of the world.

"Master Qi, Mr. Chu, you are here!"

Liu Yuan grabbed Chu Banshan's fat arm, bent down to salute Qi Li, and said with a sigh of relief.

Liu Yuan is fifty-four years old this year and is the only owner of a jewelry store in Qinghe County. Today is the day when his concubine Liu Wu is giving birth to a child.

Behind him, Liu's residence was brightly lit, with maids and servants running around, the sound of carrying water, carrying basins, and the shouts of midwives gathered together. In the corner, servants patrolling with sticks could be vaguely seen.

Liu Yuan's first wife died of illness a year ago. He is over fifty and still has no children. Naturally, he is very interested in Liu Wu's unborn child. However, the rumors of demons killing children in the county have become more and more intense in recent days. How can he not worry?

So when he saw Qi Li's arrival, the stone in Liu Yuan's heart finally fell to the ground.

In the thousand years since the founding of the Huang Kingdom, Bai Yujing's power to deter demons has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"With Sir Qi sitting in charge, I feel much more at ease."

Liu Yuan smiled apologetically while welcoming Chu and Qi into Liu's house and walked towards the room where Mrs. Liu Wu gave birth.

The door to the room was closed, and Mrs. Liu's painful labor moans could be heard from afar. It was heartbreaking and extremely painful.

Listening to Liu Wu's voice, Chu Banshan thought of the time when his mother-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and sighed softly. Liu Yuan looked worried, but Qi Li frowned and stopped.

"Master Qi...why did you stop?"

Liu Yuan turned around and said in confusion, this place is still about twenty or thirty meters away from Liu Wu's room, and he hasn't entered the courtyard yet.

Qi Li glanced at him and said impatiently: "It's so noisy, how can I get close?"

"This..." Liu Yuan glanced at Chu Banshan.

Chu Banshan took a step forward, cupped Qi Li's hands with some seriousness and said: "Master Qi may not be deeply aware of the pain of giving birth to a child. This is all for us men, otherwise how can we have sons and daughters to hold?"

Liu Yuan accompanied him with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, what Chu Captou said is absolutely true. I hope your Majesty the Inspector will be considerate..."

"It's so noisy!"

Qi Li waved his sleeves suddenly, stared into Liu Yuan's eyes coldly and said, "I will wait here until she is finished giving birth. Or, I will leave now. Mr. Liu, do you choose one?"

After being kicked like this, Liu Yuan didn't dare to say anything. He quickly sent people to bring tables and chairs, and set a table of good wine and food for Qi Li in the middle of the path.

Chu Banshan stood aside, looking at Qi Li who was drinking and eating meat casually. After all, he couldn't hold it back. He took a deep breath and whispered: "Sir, this is still thirty meters away from the Liu Wu family. Ruo Guhuo

The bird suddenly appeared..."

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Li glanced sideways at him, pointed at him with a wine bottle and sneered, "How can I say that ordinary people like you have low vision? I can reach this distance within three breaths, and that Guhuo

No matter how fast the bird is, can it still be faster than me?"

"yes……"

Chu Banshan clenched his fists and stepped back. He looked up at the dark night and prayed that nothing bad would happen today.



It was too late, but it was too late. As soon as Mrs. Liu Wu’s voice stopped, a gust of wind blew through the entire Liu residence!

The wind was howling, and even the expected cry of the baby was not heard!

In the dark wind, something thin and blade-like could be vaguely seen scratching across the treetops and eaves, leaving shallow scratches.

The leaves fell one after another.

"No!" Chu Banshan's eyes widened angrily, and he held down the simple knife at his waist.

"Why panic! Let's see what I do!"

Qi Li stood up with narrowed eyes, slapped the table with his left hand, and his whole Taoist robe moved in the wind, flying up on the spot, and Shi Shiran walked towards Liu Wu's house.

The figure walking alone in the dark wind fell into Chu Banshan's eyes. Not to mention, he really looked like a master.

Perhaps Qi Li is so arrogant because he is really capable...

Chu Banshan thought so.

However,

Before he could exhale the turbid air from his chest, he saw a figure with disheveled hair running towards him from the dark wind!

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Qi Li.

"Master Qi?"

Chu Banshan was stunned. It only took a few seconds before and after. How could Qi Li in front of him still look as cool as before?

The folding fan in his hand was torn from the middle, his Taoist robe was riddled with holes, and blood flowed from countless small wounds on his body. The hem of the Taoist robe was on fire and burning. His eyes that looked down on others were full of fear and panic.

"Monster, monster! Monster!!!"

Qi Li yelled in panic, without even looking at Chu Banshan, and rushed past him while crawling.

Chu Banshan was knocked to the ground. He quickly got up and turned around. The scene in front of him made the experienced catcher's legs completely weak and he was so horrified that he could not utter a word.

A figure that was not tall and could even be said to be slender was rushing towards him from the dark wind.

The figure was covered in sharp feathers, and the edges of the feathers cut through the air, making a sharp sound.

Chu Banshan immediately remembered that the scratches on the eaves of the trees he had just seen were caused by the feathers!

The most horrifying thing is that there are more than one heads protruding from the figure's neck!

One, two, three...a total of nine heads!

"Aunt... Huoniao..."

The nine heads and eighteen eyes of the Guhuo bird all fell on Chu Banshan, and it let out a terrifying roar that was heartbreaking.

Chu Banshan's whole body was cold, he desperately pulled out the knife from his waist, stood up with trembling legs, and roared loudly.

"Damn it, you stinky bitch, I can't go back today, you have to take our daughter and live a good life!"

As he spoke, he held a simple sword and rushed towards Gu Huoniao with a big belly.

However, the nine heads of the Gu Huo bird suddenly stopped and glanced at Chu Banshan. Without slowing down, the moment it was about to collide with Chu Banshan, it moved three feet sideways and headed straight towards the outside of Liu's house.

Chu Banshan slashed the air with his sword, but he couldn't hold back the force. His fat body rolled several times on the ground and fell to the ground, his mind going blank.



Run! Run! Run!

Qi Li walked out of the gate of Liu's house and came to the main street of Qinghe County. With only one word left in his mind, he quickly ran away in the direction of Bai Yujing.

Due to the existence of monsters, people in Qinghe County have been staying at home at night recently. At this time, the wind is gradually picking up on the main street, and only Qi Li is alone.

However, his back suddenly felt cold, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but scream in fear.

That Guhuoniao has already chased after her!

The strong wind stirred up by the wings overturned all the stalls and trucks on both sides of the main street.

"How... how is it possible? How could a Guhuo bird of this level appear in Qinghe County!"

Qi Li yelled like crazy, stumbled forward and ran away.

Suddenly, he saw a young Taoist priest in Taoist robes walking out from the corner ahead.

The Taoist priest was carrying a mahogany sword on his back, and looked like he hadn't noticed what was happening.

Qi Li was stunned, turned his head suddenly, pointed at the young Taoist priest and shouted to Gu Huoniao: "It's him! He ordered me to come. I don't know anything. Kill him and spare my life!"

"



Jiang Chou just came out of the red mud wine shop in the alley and happened to pass by.

The manager of Hongni Winery is also an acquaintance of him and the old Taoist priest, and promised him that he would help put up a sign for Xiao Qingguan recruiting people in the winery when it opens tomorrow.

There are a lot of people coming and going in the wine shop every day, so it's always faster than Jiang Chou finding them by himself.

What's more, thanks to favors like Red Mud Winery, many have been saved over the years.

If this continues, maybe there will be a chance!

It’s just that I lost all the candles...

It's the dead of night.

Jiang Chou is emo.

At this moment, he looked up and saw a Taoist priest covered in blood rushing towards him, followed by...

Jiang Chou's pupils shrank slightly.

What is this?
