After hearing a few words from the head of the Guo clan, Xu Dao and the other three discussed and decided on a plan to ambush Gu Huoniao at the gate of the ancestral hall, and the time was chosen at night.
Before Xu Dao and the others could confirm the details, the head of the Guo family interjected: "Three Taoists! That monster sometimes doesn't come at night."
Hearing this, Xu Dao and the others stopped talking, and then heard the Guo clan leader say: "But don't worry, Taoist leaders, a child sneaked out the night before yesterday, and the monster came after smelling it."
"When the monsters don't come, I'll have someone take a doll out. I won't let the Taoist priests run away in vain!"
"Good." Yu Yangyan and Fang Xiaoshan heard this and nodded in praise. But Xu Dao heard it and didn't stop it after thinking about it. After all, he was just using people as bait, not killing people to lure monsters.
Several people discussed in detail again. During the process, Xu Dao kept paying attention to his surroundings. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows, frowned and asked:
"Hey! Didn't you say that all the children have been hidden in the ancestral hall?"
When several people heard Xu Dao's words, they all looked inquiringly.
Xu Dao flicked his sleeves, and a figure suddenly fell out from the corner of the wall in front of him. It was a woman, and she was holding a baby in her hand. She looked like she was twenty or three years old.
Yu Yangyan immediately frowned and stared at the Guo clan leader with unkind eyes. Fang Xiaoshan also focused on him.
Being stared at closely by the three men, the head of the Guo clan looked horrified, but he did not show much fear. He laughed dryly and said hurriedly: "Hey! The Taoist priest is talking about those losers!"
The person hurriedly explained: "That's a female doll, not a male doll. The ancestral hall is not big, so it's already very crowded with the male dolls hidden... Naturally, these money-losing goods are placed outside."
Xu Dao heard this and looked carefully at the mother and daughter hiding in the corner.
Both mother and daughter were wearing torn jackets, and were watched by several people. Among them, the mother was shivering, acting like a foolish village woman. She was covering the mouth of the child next to her, for fear of causing disaster.
Although the child was gray-faced and young, it was difficult to identify the gender, but Xu Daoling took a quick look and found that it was indeed a girl.
Immediately afterwards, the head of the Guo clan took the initiative to lead the three people into the ancestral hall. They saw a bunch of people in the ancestral hall, a mass of heads, including men and women, old and young, but children accounted for the majority.
Boy.
Yu Yangyan and Fang Xiaoshan relaxed. In their opinion, girls are indeed incomparable with boys, and Guo's actions of preserving bloodline are justified.
Among them, Yu Yangyan did not blame Xu Dao for being suspicious, but just drank a few words to the Guo clan leader and asked him to explain the matter clearly in advance, causing the Guo clan clan leader to quickly wipe his sweat and say: "I know, I know, it's Guo, isn't it?"
Taoist priests, calm down!"
On the contrary, when Fang Xiaoshan saw that there was nothing unusual, he said impatiently: "You have become a Taoist disciple. If you are still worried about what these mortals are doing, if there is any abnormality, just kill them." When the Guo clan leader heard this, he felt frightened again.
Xu Dao looked at it and remembered that the nearby prefectures and counties did indeed favor boys over girls, and the reaction of the Guo clan leader did seem to make him a little suspicious, but he still secretly became wary.
The top priority of the three of them was to kill the monster first. Xu Dao also secretly inspected the Guo family's ancestral hall, and found nothing wrong inside or outside except for possible dark rooms and cellars.
Not long after, the Guo clan members began to get busy under the call of the clan leader.
When night fell, it was pitch black near the ancestral hall. All the people who were peeping during the day did not know where they were hiding. In short, there was not even a ghost within several miles near the Guo ancestral hall.
Inside the ancestral hall, there was a crowd of people.
After the Guo clan members had reached an agreement, a mother and her son were immediately pushed out from the crowd. The mother was shivering like a chicken, her legs were trembling. When she saw Xu Dao and the others, she immediately kowtowed and knelt down, shouting: "Taoist Priest
Spare me! I’m just a baby!”
Xu Dao heard it and opened his eyes.
I saw the Guo clan members on the side hurriedly pushing her out of the ancestral hall, and shouted: "If you hadn't brought your baby into the ancestral hall, he would have been taken away by the monster long ago!"
Then he took out an iron rope and handcuffed the mother to a pole outside.
The woman begged for mercy, but her child was not cuffed, lying on her lap and grabbing her face in ignorance. The woman did not dare to push her child away, so she could only cry, hold the child tightly and tremble.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Dao frowned and said, "Why drive the mother and son out now? Even if it is to lure monsters, why bother holding them captive?"
When he said these words, Yu Yangyan and Fang Xiaoshan paid little attention to them. One of them sat cross-legged and continued to warm up the magic weapon, while the other took care of the demon horse under his control.
However, when the Guo clan leader heard this, he still had the mother and son released first, and asked them to kowtow to Xu Dao to express their gratitude.
Xu Dao didn't care much about the thanks from mother and son. He closed his eyes and quickly warmed up the energy in his body.
This was Xu Dao's first time against a Qi Refining level monster. Although he had two fellow Qi Refining disciples as helpers, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
The night is dark.
There was not even a child crying in the ancestral hall, it was extremely quiet.
Xu Dao and others sat cross-legged at the boundary of the ancestral hall formation, quietly waiting for the monster to arrive.
I don’t know when it got dark and the moon faded.
When someone was about to lose their patience and wanted to ask someone to bring out the bait, a scream sounded, like crying and laughing, and they kept shouting "baby, baby, baby".
Xu Daodou opened his eyes and stared outside the formation of the ancestral hall.
A dark shadow was hovering in front of Guo's ancestral hall. It was a tall man, covered with hair, and was crying incessantly.
As soon as Xu Daoling opened his eyes, he immediately saw a black and red vicious aura coming towards his face, making his eyes freeze.
Zheng! The metal trembled, and a cold light jumped out from a corner and flew towards the monster. Yu Yangyan shouted: "The monster has arrived, take action!"
Immediately afterwards, Fang Xiaoshan also ran out on a demon horse, swinging a red whip in his hand, and boldly rushed towards the demon.
Xu Dao didn't have a Yin Beast in his hand, and he was worried that his physical body would be in danger if placed in the ancestral hall. He stood up and walked out of the formation.
The three of them surrounded the monster in mid-air. Xu Dao looked at the monster in the middle and thought to himself: "It really is a Guhuo bird!"
Yu Yangyan first drew out his sword, hovering in mid-air, and stabbed Gu Huoniao. But as the opponent flew forward, his arms shot out strong winds. Not only did he dodge, but he also fanned the three people on the ground to retreat.
Among them, many of them were physically weak and had no support, so they retreated two or three steps at a time.
"Death to the monster!" Fang Xiaoshan took a moment to glance at Xu Dao, who was riding on his monster horse and rode forward against the wind.
The man yelled fiercely, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and a strong wind picked up the gravel and hit it towards the bird. The gold penetrated the bones, and the monster immediately screamed in agony.
Seeing this, Xu Dao was also moved in his heart. After he stood still, he flicked his sleeves, and then a python-like energy came out and bit the monster.
"Owl!" A shrill cry sounded.
Bang! In just one round, the three of them unleashed their spells, and Guhuoniao's body fell from mid-air and fell to the ground.
After the monster landed, the three of them saw it had a human head and a bird's beak, and two arms shaped like bird wings. It was crawling and struggling like a bat. It had dark hair wrapped around its body, its face was ugly, and there were two things like women on its chest.
swollen.
Seeing this scene, Yu Yangyan and Fang Xiaoshan both chuckled.
"There is nothing to be afraid of, little monster!"
But at this moment, the monster roared loudly again: "My child, my child!"
A harsh sound sounded, and Xu Dao suddenly felt confused and lost his mind. But fortunately, a talisman in his soul vibrated, and Xu Dao's mind went cold, and he immediately woke up.
He looked up and was horrified to see streaks of black energy coming out of Guhuo Bird's body, covering all directions.
The black air rushed out quickly and urgently.
Xu Dao shouted: "No! It's evil energy!" He quickly used his magic to block the incoming black energy.
But the two people next to them are still confused and in a daze...
