After touching the two dog heads, Chu Qiguang sighed softly: "You go ahead. You can come here to find me when you are hungry. I can still afford a bite of food."
The two dogs looked at each other and left quickly.
After they were far away from the alley, Xiaotu stuck out his tongue and said, "This guy seems pretty good."
"Who knows if he is a human being?" Laotu recalled Chu Qiguang's concerned look just now, and said softly: "But it is still a favor at least. Let's not tell the king about him, so as to save the king from coming to see him.
trouble."
On the other side, after watching the two dogs leave, Chu Qiguang wiped the corners of his wet eyes with an indifferent expression and said to Qiao Zhi: "Master Qiao, please follow them and find out where their den is."
Qiao Zhi asked: "Do you want to deal with them?"
Chu Qiguang said with compassion: "The stray dogs are so pitiful, I want to take care of them."
…
Old Tu, Xiao Tu swung his tail all the way and ran into an abandoned temple in the south of the city.
This abandoned temple was originally a Buddhist temple, but it was burned down after the imperial court exterminated the Buddha. Later, it changed hands several times, but something always happened, and it was gradually abandoned and turned into a ruin. And now this abandoned temple has become a dog monster.
their gathering place.
Old-fashioned, Xiaotu couldn't help but tuck their tails as soon as they entered the abandoned temple. Various strong smells rushed into their nostrils. In the darkness, they seemed to be able to see pairs of green eyes looking at them. There was also a smell in the grass.
Here comes the sound of dogs roaring and fighting.
In the original place of the main hall of the Buddhist temple, a strong black dog that stood up to half a man's height and weighed about one to two hundred pounds was lying on the ground. The muscles all over his body were rippling and full of strength.
At this moment, the black dog kept gnawing at a piece of meat bone, chewing it slightly with its sharp teeth, and smashed the bone into pieces like tissue paper.
There were two tall dog monsters around. They drooled from time to time looking at the fleshy bones, but no dogs dared to come close.
Seeing Laotu and Xiaotu come in, the black dog raised his head and glanced at them, then continued to concentrate on dealing with the meat and bones in front of him, and said: "How about the new family?"
The old man said: "Your Majesty, the new residents in that courtyard are the young masters of the Wang family in Wangjiazhuang. They are guarded day and night, so it's not easy to attack them."
The black dog in front of me is called Lao Hei, and he is the leader of many dog monsters in Qingyang County.
He was originally the hunting dog of a family of hunters in the mountains, and his father was a dog demon who was also the hunting dog of this family.
But later, Lao Hei killed Orion's whole family, fled into the city, and gathered a bunch of dog monsters. On weekdays, he commanded the dog monsters to steal food and drink on the streets, vendors, and restaurants.
matter.
There is a clear hierarchy within the dog demons. The food stolen by the dog demons at the lowest level has to be provided to the hierarchy, and they are often bullied miserably.
There are rumors circulating in the dark that Lao Hei has bitten someone to death, so the dog monsters are even more afraid of him.
Lao Hei looked at the old man and said, "What about today's filial piety?"
The old man whispered: "Your Majesty, I really didn't find anything to eat today..."
Roar! With a low roar, the black dog rushed forward and bit Lao Tu's neck, throwing him to the ground: "Next time if you don't find anything to eat, I will eat you."
The old man and the little man whined for mercy and looked at the black dog with fearful expressions.
The black dog then said: "Isn't there a child in the yard?"
"You can lure him out tomorrow."
The old man struggled and said: "No...it's not good, right? If there is a murder case, it will definitely be investigated."
"People can eat dogs, but dogs can't eat people?" Black Dog shouted in a low voice: "Besides, that child is not from the Wang family. He is just a child from a poor family. The Wang family will not invite a Taoist temple for them."
The key to black dogs being able to stay in Qingyang County is to bully the poor and the lower class, because no one cares about their life and death, and neither the government nor the Taoist temple will go out to protect them.
"If you don't want to steal people, then go to his house and steal meat. Either people or meat, it's your choice."
…
On the street a few hundred meters away, Chu Qiguang cooperated with Qiao Zhi all the way and evaded the night watchers in the city.
After all, in this era, the morning bell rings to open the city gate, and the evening drum sounds to close the city gate and impose a curfew.
Chu Qiguang was standing with his back against the wall and checked what he had brought out.
After a while, Qiao Zhi came over quietly, and Chu Qiguang asked: "How is it?"
Qiao Zhi swung his tail and said: "The leader is an old black dog. He looks very strong. He must have practiced the martial arts of a dog demon.
In terms of physical strength alone, considering his height and body type, his combat prowess is probably comparable to that of a warrior in the second level. An ordinary person would probably not die but be disabled if he bit him."
Chu Qiguang knew that the monsters also had their own martial arts, especially dog monsters and cat monsters. Their body shapes were different from humans, and their martial arts methods were also very different. They all had their own martial arts schools.
However, most dog demons lack inheritance and find it difficult to feed and clothe themselves, let alone practice martial arts.
Chu Qiguang smiled and touched Qiao Zhi's head, then asked, "Can I stay?"
Qiao Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "That black dog has killed beggars or homeless people."
Chu Qiguang nodded: "Then we can't stay."
…
In the abandoned temple, while the dog demons were resting, bursts of shouts suddenly came from outside the courtyard.
"A Taoist priest is here to get rid of the demon! Run quickly."
The dog demons got up instantly, and then heard someone shouting: "This temple is full of dog demons, rush in and kill them all. Don't let any of them go!"
At this time, all the dog monsters were panicking. The Taoist temple was like a huge rock that had been weighing on their hearts. The slightest movement could scare them into panic.
Qiao Zhi stood behind the wall and yelled again: "Why are you still standing there! Are you waiting to be slaughtered? Run away quickly!"
Lao Hei originally wanted to gather his men to break out together, but with this shout, the dog demons all around suddenly scattered, some went through dog holes, some jumped over the wall, and some rushed straight to the back door... in all directions.
Escaped.
Lao Hei snorted angrily and ran straight away, escaping towards the back door, but did not notice an orange shadow following him behind him.
After running for thousands of meters like this, Lao Hei slowly stopped, thinking that he didn't know what was going on at the abandoned temple and whether the Taoist priests from the Tianshi Sect had caught up with him.
At this moment, a man walked towards him. Lao Hei pretended to be an ordinary dog and squatted there. Unexpectedly, the man walked over with a smile on his face.
"What a cute dog, come on, come home with me, I'll show you something good."
