Under the early morning sun, the Yaosi Town of Pu'an County is less cold and more solemn than at night.
If the previous battle hadn't damaged the gates and walls here, this majesty and solemnity would have been even greater.
At this moment, all the local night watchmen were gathered in the yard, being guarded by Monk Ma and others.
Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to move.
After all, their Demon Suppression Department has indeed been infiltrated by monsters and ghosts. Not only the warriors below, but also the small flags and the general flag are mostly monster spiders wearing human skin!
Even if the rest of the night watchmen are all humans and not monsters, according to the rules, they must be interrogated and screened to see if there are any accomplices of monsters among them.
When Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai came back dragging a humanoid spider corpse that was cut into two pieces and the human skin body of Mr. Wang Qi, the group of anxious night watchmen turned their attention to the two people.
He looked around at the corpse's body.
Monk Ma quickly stepped forward and reported to Qin Shaoyou what happened after Zhu Xiucai left.
Qin Shaoyou listened and observed the night watchman in the yard with his clear eyes.
When Monk Ma finished his report, he didn't see any problems with these night watchmen, so he took out his badge of "100 Trial Households" from his arms and held it high to show it.
"I am the Demon Suppressor of the Hundred Households, and I have been ordered by Lord Qianhu to investigate and deal with the demons in this place. From now on, you are all temporarily under my jurisdiction. Who has any objections?"
The night watchmen in the yard were silent, and no one had any comments.
Not to mention that Qin Shaoyou was originally a member of the Hundred Household Trial, and his official position was half a level higher than that of the deceased Wang Zongqi. There was absolutely no problem in temporarily taking over the Pu'an County Town Demon Division, but given their current situation, they didn't dare to raise any objections.
"It's fine if you don't have any objection."
Qin Shaoyou nodded, put away his badge, and immediately made arrangements: "Monk, you stay in Pu'an County and lead the night watchmen here to eliminate the remaining demons and ghosts, and maintain public order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. I just interrogated this one
The humanoid spider learned that there are still some demon spiders in human skin hidden in the county. You can take people to clean them up. For the corresponding information, ask Zhu Xiucai."
Before Monk Ma could speak, Zhu Xiucai took out the notebook he had just written in from his arms, quickly flipped through a few pages, tore it off and handed it to Monk Ma.
"Don't throw away these materials. Keep them after you use them. I'll need them again when I record them later."
"Don't worry, I will keep it safe for you."
Monk Ma quickly glanced at the contents on these pages and immediately made arrangements:
"Li Xiaoqi, you take a group of people to Cai Ji Rice Store in the west of the city and arrest a guy named Xu. If he resists, he will be killed on the spot! Zhao Xianyou, take a few people to the county school and arrest a guy named Huang.
Ren’s County Students”
The night watchmen in Pu'an County secretly breathed a sigh of relief while accepting the order.
Since the master of the trial household is willing to assign tasks to them, it means that most of the suspicion on them has been eliminated. The next step is to make up for their mistakes and make atonement for their sins.
With the direction and goal in hand, the night watchman of Pu'an County quickly ran out of the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division to hunt down the remaining humanoid spiders in the city.
When Monk Ma distributed the tasks, Qin Shaoyou did not participate. He just called the slaves here and asked them to inspect the body of the humanoid spider and remove the human limbs and organs.
After completing these instructions, Qin Shaoyou mounted the war horse of Pu'an County Town Demon Division and said to Monk Ma: "I'll leave this place to you!"
Without waiting for Monk Ma to answer, he slapped his horse and rushed out of the Demon Suppression Division together with Zhu Xiucai, speeding towards the Burying Yin Mountain in the south.
Almost at the same time, at the foot of Burying Yin Mountain, Cui Youwei and others received the paper crane talisman from Qin Shaoyou.
Seeing that the buttocks of the paper crane talisman were almost burned, Cui Youwei raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Is it possible that there was some accident in Pu'an County that forced Mr. Qin to use this method of burning his buttocks with fire?
Come to us for help?"
Hearing this, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and others showed anxious expressions on their faces.
They hurriedly received the message delivered by the paper crane symbol.
Fortunately, although a large part of the paper crane talisman was burned, the message that could be conveyed was not lost or wrong.
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's instructions, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and others all breathed a sigh of relief, but Cui Yougui's face turned dark and a little angry.
"Master Qin and Xiucai, what do you mean? Are you wasting a piece of paper crane symbol to warn me? I, Cui Yougui, can't tell the difference between good and evil? I admit, I do like to be in the limelight, but why don't I take advantage of my junior sisters?
I risk my life! What's more, in this place, Junior Sister Su and General Cen Qi said it was weird and dangerous as soon as they arrived. How could I act blindly? Only by doing things that are certain can I gain the limelight, without even considering the situation or danger.
If you figure it out and then rush in, you will only make a fool of yourself, which is not in line with my style at all!"
It turned out that Cui Yougui and the others had arrived at Burial Yin Mountain for some time, but they had never gone up the mountain because when they first arrived, Su Tingyu smelled the smell of spider silk hidden in the mountains and forests, and Cen Biqing also sensed the hidden secrets here.
Danger.
Before receiving the paper crane talisman, they had already observed the outside of Burial Yin Mountain and found that this mountain seemed to be no different from other mountains. It was covered with green plants and lush.
But in fact, there are a lot of spider silk quietly hidden among the dense weeds and lush trees.
Once someone breaks into this area, they will be immediately discovered by these spider silks, exposed, and even hunted.
Guba
At this moment, after hearing Cui Yougui's words, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and Wenzhu all looked at him with astonished eyes. They were all a little surprised and felt that these words did not seem to come from Cui Youwei.
It came from my senior brother's mouth.
If you didn't show off before, how could you be hung up and beaten by Master?
It seems that in the Demon Suppression Division, Senior Brother Cui has really been trained and grown!
Cen Biqing said thoughtfully: "It seems that you are very experienced. Why are you so experienced?"
"I"
Cui Youyou suddenly got stuck and hurriedly changed the subject: "That's not important. What's important is, what should we do now? Do we really have to wait here for Master Qin and Xiucai to arrive?"
Sun Xianzong was still kind-hearted and was afraid of embarrassing him, so he followed his words and pondered: "It's not a problem to just wait. We still have to find a way to investigate the situation in this mountain, but we can't alert these old masters.
How about Earth Escape?"
"not so good."
Cui Youyou shook his head.
"If I'm not wrong, there should be a lot of spider silk hidden in the mud and rocks of this mountain. The whole mountain is like an airtight spider web array. If you escape from the soil, you will undoubtedly fall into a trap.
If we really want to conduct investigation, it may only be done from the sky, and the altitude cannot be lower."
"Heaven?"
When everyone raised their heads, they saw several eagles circling in the sky.
Even these eagles are wary of Burial Yin Mountain and do not dare to get too close, let alone fly too low.
"We can't fly, how can we go to the sky to conduct reconnaissance?" Sun Xianzong smiled bitterly, thinking Cui Youwei was joking.
As a result, Cui Youhang smiled and said, "I have a way."
Who said you have to go to the limelight to get the limelight? Aren’t I also able to be in the limelight?
He proudly took out a bird made of paper from his arms, pinched it and cast a spell to 'awaken' it.
Of course, although it is a bird, the painting is really not very good, comparable to the picture of the divine bird Phoenix pecking rice.
Fortunately, although the painting is not good, the function is not bad.
After the paper bird moved its wings, it flew up from Cui Yougui's hand. Although it did not fly to the height of an eagle, it was still higher than the woods in the mountains to avoid getting caught in spider silk.
After releasing the paper bird, Cui Youyi took out a scroll from his arms. After opening it, the scroll was blank, but as Brother Cui kneaded the hand and cast a spell, dynamic images soon appeared on the scroll.
This is exactly what the paper bird saw in the sky.
Sun Xianzong couldn't put it down and said in amazement: "Okay, old Taoist, why didn't I know you had this ability before? This is like pressing a pair of eyes in the sky. If it is used in marching and fighting, it will be very powerful."
"Nonsense, I didn't know how to do it before. This is a new spell I learned after entering the fifth level realm."
Cui Youyou said proudly, while carefully controlling the paper bird to conduct reconnaissance in the area of Burial Yin Mountain.
Although it is flying in the sky, the paper bird has very strong eyesight. With its eyes, everyone can clearly see that this Yin Burial Mountain is really densely covered with spider silk, as if an airtight curtain has been laid in the mountain.
Big net.
Not to mention running around in the mountains, even flying on the mountains like a paper bird is very dangerous - the mountain wind keeps blowing up the spider silks on the treetops, and if you are not careful, you will be hung up by these spider silks.
Live in it, wrap it up, drag it into the grass, and become food for the demonic spiders lurking there.
Just when Cui Youwei used paper birds to carefully investigate the situation inside Burial Yin Mountain, a group of people who looked like refugees also came to Burial Yin Mountain.
They were walking on the other side of the Burial Yin Mountain, and they obviously didn't know the dangers in this mountain. They actually wanted to cross the mountain and go to Pu'an County.
After Cui Yougui discovered this group of people, he hurriedly wanted to ask the paper bird to remind them, but it was too late.
As soon as the group of refugees entered the area of Burial Yin Mountain, the spider silk was disturbed.
Cui Youyou and the others immediately saw that the spider silk in that area seemed to come alive instantly, rushing towards the group of refugees from all directions, and instantly tied them up into something similar to a cocoon. s things.
Immediately, a group of weird-looking monster spiders, big or small, human or animal-shaped, emerged from the soil, haystacks and woods, and pounced on the refugees. Instead of eating them, they carried them up the mountain. .
Cui Yougui's heart moved, and he immediately controlled the paper bird to track the group of demonic spiders in the sky, and soon discovered that they had led people into a cave.
Unfortunately, the entrance to the cave was covered with cobwebs, so Cui Youwei could not let the paper bird follow him into the cave. He could only circle around outside and write down the exact location of the cave.
It was also at this time that through the eyes of the paper bird, everyone saw two fast horses approaching rapidly in the distance.
It was Qin Shaoyou and Zhu Xiucai who rushed over.
