Fire light reflected on the stove, and the crickets danced and their long beards were chirping. Suddenly, the firewood with sparks burned and fell, and jumped out in shock.

Outer eaves.

After a few bowls of wine, Liu Gun took over his son beside him, sat opposite Lu Liangsheng, calmed down and thought about the whole story of the past two days.

"Mr. Lu, don't dare to hide it. In the past two days, strange things happened in the town. First, someone lost a chicken or dog at home, but later he started to die without any injuries. He thought he was sick and died suddenly. The coroner checked the body and found that there was no drop of blood in the family. At first, he thought it was a ghost. Every household put talisman paper, bronze mirrors, and scissors at the doorstep. As a result, another household died the next day. I thought it was not good, so I and these two brothers went to the county government to report the case first, and check if I could meet the passing Taoist You Fang, and ask for help subdue the demons."

Liu Gun talked about the past, and the other two nodded, proving that this is indeed the case. Such things are concealed and false, unless their minds are pinched by the door.

Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Before the death, nothing else strange happened?"

On the other side, Liu Gun, who was thinking about things, was stunned when he heard the questions, and felt embarrassed to squeeze out a little smile.

"I slept heavily, but I didn't pay attention."

The two people looked at each other, and one of them raised his hand at the scholar and said, "Mr. Lu, we know that when we were drinking at home that night, most of the dogs in the town were barking. Did the monsters come into the town?"

Lu Liangsheng, who had experienced many ghosts and monsters, nodded calmly to these things without much emotional changes.

"Beasts are born with a keen awareness of dangerous things. If it weren't for danger and strange things approached, the dogs in the town wouldn't bark like this, so there would be nothing else?"

When the two, including Liu Bang on the side, shook their heads, the latter suddenly clapped his palms and moved forward with the bench.

"Mr. Lu, in the Hezhou County Government, I accidentally heard something. It was said that on the road more than a hundred miles outside the city, I found many flags and frames, but I didn't see anybody, and I didn't see any horses. I heard that the flag was from Tuyuhun."

Tuyuhun?

Lu Liangsheng's brows became even tighter. Beijing had fought with the other party. After counting the itinerary, it was indeed time to get here. How could he suddenly disappear with his people and horses?

Seeing that the scholar was silent, Liu Gun and the other two were so angry that they didn't dare to let out. The Adam's apple rolled, swallowed, and squeezed out their words in a low voice.

"Mr. Lu, will it have something to do with what is in our town?"

“No connection.”

Hearing the three of them, Lu Liangsheng waved his hand lightly and temporarily put aside the disappearance of the Tuyuhun envoy, "That's the matter of the government. Now, let's talk about the monsters in Jishi Town. "

He paused and glanced at the child in Liu Gang's arms.

"I'll ask you, do the two dead families have children?"

The three of them lowered their heads and thought that after all, they were not familiar with each other and they were not very clear about the situation at home. They only went to see the excitement after the incident happened.

After a while, Liu Geng raised his head: "It seems there is."

"Yes." Lu Liangsheng had only gone to the morgue to see one before. When he came to Liu's house, he saw that the folded amulet on Liu Boqin's neck was black, and probably guessed some of his eyebrows.

"Tonight is the third day, and the monster will definitely come again. You will take your two brothers and your wife back to the room first, and let Benchen sit under the eaves with me."

"Oh, listen to sir."

Liu Gun got up and took two steps, reacted, and quickly sat back on the stool, widened his eyes and trembled his lips: "Mr. Lu, are you saying that monster is coming to my house tonight?"

"Maybe it's on the way."

Lu Liangsheng pulled a ignorant little man from his arms, and twisted the talisman paper he gave to him with his fingertips. One corner of the yellow talisman that was overlapping into a triangle was completely black. Liu Gun, who was shocked, was trembling all over, and his wife who followed him right next to him turned pale.

"Why... it's black... it's all been fine yesterday."

If Lu Liangsheng hadn't pointed it out, the couple didn't notice it at all. Liu Gang pulled his wife and would kneel in front of Lu Liangsheng, "Mr. Lu, please save Boqin. I will be a cow and a horse for you."

The two of them bent their knees were stopped by something they could not see. Lu Liangsheng raised his hand and helped the couple up, "I said before, I'm here for this matter, you can go in first."

The couple looked at each other and looked at their son again. They believed in the scholar in front of them. They nodded and called the two brothers over there to go back to the bedroom together to close the door.

Under the eaves, a two and a half-year-old man saw his parents entering the room, his chubby little face became anxious. He raised his little hand and was about to run to knock on the door.

"Berchin, come here, I'll make you something fun."

The words came from behind, and the little man was stunned for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Lu Liangsheng reaching out his wide sleeve with one hand, blinking curiously, and finally couldn't help but move with a small step.

"I'm optimistic."

While Lu Liangsheng was smiling and talking, the Dharma voice passed through his sleeve, "Master, tease this little kid."

"You!! Isn't you the kind of kidding me..."

In the sleeves, the toad Taoist veins bulged. As soon as he turned over, he was held in the palm of his apprentice and brought out his sleeve. The toad eyes as big as beans faced with a pair of curious eyes.

The toad suddenly stopped saying the words behind him, his cheeks bulged, and he glared fiercely at the toad eyes: "...Look again, I will eat you in one bite!"

Seeing the big toad standing on the palm of a person's palm speaking, the little man was stunned for a moment, his mouth suddenly opened, giggling happily, clapping his hands and trying to let the toad continue to speak.

"It's your mother..."

“Gee~~”

"Smile, be careful that I really eat you!"

“Hahaha…”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the master who could even talk to the child a few times, smiled, his eyes turned away from the dark courtyard, and quietly used magic to cover up his own cultivation and master's Taoism.

The night wind blew quietly outside the courtyard, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the courtyard door swayed gently in the wind.

Wow~~

Between the roads outside the courtyard, the river flowed, and a layer of mist gradually appeared on the mud road in the distance, spreading along the ground across the wooden bridge. In the mist, it seemed like a sound was whispering.

"It's that family...there are children under three years old in the family."

"This time the child belongs to me, and the adults belong to you."

"Haha, it's rare to come out... I must have enough food."

Wow, wow, wow, wow~~

In the dark night, the dogs on the farm started to bark violently, and the spreading fog was vaguely floating in the air.

“These dogs are so annoying…”

"After eating, kill all these beasts. Don't delay the time. Go in quickly. After eating, leave tomorrow and see what the Northwest Demon King has to summon the demons to give."

The fog spread, and the two lanterns swayed in the wind were extinguished, and the darkness pushed the dissipating light and wrapped the entire courtyard door in.

In the yard, there were room with warm yellow lights. Liu Gun and the other two were close to the window frame. The door was listening to the movement outside. In addition to the laughter of his son, there was also an old voice talking.

"Did you hear...how did you make another sound?"

When Liu Gun turned his head and looked at the two brothers next to him, the oil lamp placed on the table suddenly disappeared, and it shook for a few moments to go out.

"What's going on?"

The woman screamed in fear, and her husband next to her reached out to cover her mouth: "Don't make a sound, it seems that there is movement."

After serving as a soldier, Liu Gun and the other two were more sensitive to the movements, and there seemed to be a wind blew in the yard.

Huhu...

The wind whimpered and ran across the yard. The old trees in the yard roared and branches and leaves. Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting under the eaves, brushed his black hair across his shoulders. He raised his eyes, felt the demonic aura spreading, and smiled.

"Sure enough, I came to the door."

The toad Taoist standing in the palm of his palm shook his tongue and made a face to tease the child, and waved the frog webbing.

"Two little demons, I'm not interested in being a teacher."

The moment the words fell, smoke came in the gap in the courtyard, and the yard was surging. I also saw a scholar sitting under the eaves, holding a big toad in clothes teasing a child.

"Well? Why is there a scholar?"

“…and another big toad.”

The white mist gradually dissipated, revealing two figures, one tall and one short, with blue face and cheeks, scarlet eyes, and another sharp mouth and long beards that opened outwards, slightly bowed their backs, like a mouse, with yellow nails across the ground, turning up mud chips, and a low smile.

“I happened to eat together.”

On the side, the figure with green face and cheeks carefully looked at the scholar and saw the toad in his hand. The next second, his scarlet eyes suddenly widened and he suddenly took a step back.

"Go... go... it's him..."

Turning his head one by one: "Who?"

The slender and green-faced monster who was retreating was scared or roaring, and his voice trembled a little at this time.

"Purple Smoke Old Demon."

The hair of the rat spirit stood up in an instant, his eyes tightened, his yellow front teeth widened, and his whole body trembled.

"The one who eats people and countless demons? How could he be here! Let's go--"

Turning around and about to escape from the white mist, the scholar under the eaves got up, waved his sleeves and flicked his fingers, pinching his magic tricks. The old tree swaying in the wind spread out in a crackling manner, stretching rapidly like a vine, sweeping towards the two monsters.
