The scene that everyone expected did not happen.
Several paper figures quickly emerged from the burning Datong shop.
There is still a gap in the door and window.
Not only were they not burned, there were no sparks on them at all.
Because there were wisps of dark wind surrounding them, blocking the flames for them.
After several paper figures left Datongpu, their bodies quickly swelled and returned to the same appearance as when they arrived.
A gust of cold wind blew open the windows of Datongpu. Several paper figures rose and fell with the cold wind and floated out of the inn.
The watchdogs, whose flesh, blood and organs had been sucked dry by the paper figures, jumped into the Datong Shop from the window and were instantly swallowed up by the raging fire.
The corpses were destroyed and all traces were wiped out.
When Qin Shaoyou saw this, he hurriedly made a gesture and lowered his voice and ordered: "Be prepared to follow the paper man. Use your hands and feet quickly to avoid being discovered."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Zhu Xiucai, who was lying on the roof, got up and led everyone to follow the paper figures that were jumping away.
He is best at tracking this kind of work.
But at this moment, a strange voice sounded from behind everyone:
"No wonder you didn't sleep at the inn and went to the roof of someone else's house. It turned out that you had guessed that someone would come looking for you in the middle of the night, so you were just waiting here."
Although this voice was very soft, it still made everyone break into a cold sweat.
Is this exposed?
Was the enemy touching your back?
Qin Shaoyou was also shocked.
But he didn't hesitate, and shot a sleeve arrow in the direction of the sound.
At the same time, he drew his sword and turned around.
Under the cold moonlight, he saw a figure standing on the wall of the yard next door. His figure was tall and straight, with concave and convex shapes.
It's a woman.
It's just that this woman was wearing a bamboo hat, covering her face so that no one could see her clearly.
Zhu Xiucai also turned around. When he saw the strange woman, he couldn't help but frown: "This person is so arrogant. He doesn't even look at us squarely."
The strange woman on the wall did not face Qin Shaoyou and the others directly, but stood sideways.
Her eyes were always staring at the dark night beside her, and she seemed to be completely dismissive of Qin Shaoyou and the others, not taking them seriously at all.
As for Qin Shaoyou's sleeve arrow, although it was sudden, it did not hurt her.
Because there was a dark shadow guarding her in front of her, blocking the sleeve arrow for her.
But the strange woman was still shocked.
She stared at the deserted night and rebuked angrily: "What's wrong with you? You shoot cold arrows when we see you? No, you shot cold arrows before you even saw me..."
You don’t even look at people when you talk? Are you so arrogant?
Qin Shaoyou frowned.
He did not answer the strange woman's scolding, but after the Xiujian sneak attack failed, he immediately rushed towards her with a knife.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others also made similar reactions immediately.
Although they had only followed Qin Shaoyou for a short time, they were deeply influenced by him, and they all developed the habit of not talking nonsense when encountering enemies and killing them first.
After all, Qin Shaoyou brainwashed them every day, telling them that if they talked too much when fighting against the enemy, their lives would be in danger.
They all thought it made sense and strictly implemented Qin Shaoyou's request.
"Is this the way your Demon Suppression Department treats guests? You ask us for help, and you don't even say thank you, but you still yell at us to kill us? If we hadn't helped you just now, would you have been able to hide this from the paper man and the ghost dog?
be found?"
The black shadow floating in front of the strange woman suddenly transformed into a six or seven-year-old little girl.
Looking at her red lips, white teeth, and cute pink and jade carvings, she scolded Qin Shaoyou and others with her hands on her hips.
But her tone of voice didn't sound like a child at all, she looked very mature.
At the same time, her body is still translucent. Although it is cute, it also has a bit of a weird color.
Behind the little girl, the strange woman was also very angry and echoed: "Just shoot me as soon as we meet. How can there be any sense in that? Let's go then?"
Before Qin Shaoyou and the little girl could speak, two more heads popped up from the yard next door.
Two more people climbed up the wall.
As soon as they appeared, they shouted anxiously towards Qin Shaoyou and others:
"Sir, don't accidentally hurt one of your own. They are Taoist priests invited by Master Xue from Jade Emperor Temple to help us investigate the case."
These two people were Wei Lishi and his companions whom Qin Shaoyou sent back to Luocheng for reinforcements.
Qin Shaoyou made a gesture to signal everyone to suspend the attack, but he did not sheath the sword, nor did he relax his vigilance.
Because he is still suspicious of Wei Lishi and others.
After all, he only sent Wei Lishi and others back to Luocheng when they arrived in Mianyuan County.
It was almost evening at that time. Even if Wei Lishi and others worked hard and risked their lives in the dark, they couldn't fight back and forth so quickly, right?
But if they are not really Wei Lishi and others, who are they?
Is it a monster that turns children into dogs? Or a ghost in the night?
But how did they know that they sent Wei Lishi and others back to Luocheng to find reinforcements from Yuhuangguan?
Could it be that the real Wei Lishi and others had been killed, and before they died, because they could not survive the torture, they told all this?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly had several guesses in his mind.
He kept a close eye on Wei Lishi and others. Once the opponent showed any flaws or found something wrong, he would immediately lead Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and others to attack.
Wei Lishi read this suspicion from Qin Shaoyou's eyes and hurriedly explained:
"Sir, we worked hard and arrived at Wujiapu before dark.
General Xu Qi heard that we were going back to call for reinforcements, so he arranged for a group of colleagues from the Demon Suppression Division and a group of local garrison troops to assist them, and escorted us back to Luocheng without stopping.
When Xue Baihu heard that we had returned to the Demon Suppression Division, he summoned us as soon as possible.
After asking about the reason, he immediately took us to Jade Emperor Temple and invited two Taoist priests, Su and Su..."
After listening to Wei Lishi's story, Qin Shaoyou realized that not only did they travel in the dark and at night, but they also never rested from beginning to end.
And after inviting two Taoist priests Su, Wei Lishi and others took them back to Mianyuan County in the dark.
Because the magic talisman provided by the Taoist Priest of Jade Emperor Temple was attached to the horse's leg, which greatly increased the speed of the horse and shortened the time on the road, it was possible to rush back at this moment.
After those war horses arrived in Mianyuan County, they were all so tired that they foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground because they were exhausted from overexertion.
Fortunately, he is not dead. He can recover after a period of cultivation.
But during this period, they can no longer carry people on their way.
After Wei Lishi introduced the situation, he also took out his identity badge and a personal letter written by Xue Qingshan.
Only after seeing these things did Qin Shaoyou believe their identities.
"Now you know we are not bad people, right?"
The girl standing on the wall pouted and said, still not looking directly at Qin Shaoyou and the others, just staring straight into the night beside them.
His attitude is very cold and his style is very pretentious.
This man is really too arrogant.
Qin Shaoyou and others frowned again.
The little girl noticed this situation, looked back, and said helplessly: "Sister, you looked in the wrong direction again, they are here..."
Um?
Qin Shaoyou and the others were stunned.
I bet this girl is not proud or looking down on others, but she is short-sighted and blind?
