Chapter 703 "Legend of the White Fox" 2
The three returned to the city.

The master and apprentice, father and son, rented in the backyard of a large mansion in the city, and the landlord was an elderly couple.

The front yard of the house was converted into a tea shop by the landlord, selling some tea and food, and renting out the middle and back courtyards. The couple lived on the tea shop and the rent.

"Are you back?" The landlady greeted the three of them enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?"

"Look at it, I've been running all day and I'm hungry." Tang Ying said politely.

"Okay, I bought a cellar of good wine today, have a taste?"

Han Xiong smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Okay, you guys sit down first, I'll serve the food."

The proprietress walked away, and Tang Ying set the table and chopsticks for her father and senior brother.

Han Xiong poured tea for the three of them and said, "Master, these 60-year-old little monsters are nothing at all. Only by catching those 600-[-]-year-old big monsters can we revive the sect."

Tang Manzhi also knew: "Why don't I want to catch big monsters, but this kind of big monsters are powerful, we may not be opponents, and secondly, most of these big monsters live in seclusion, and we have nowhere to find them if we want to catch them."

The three of them were talking, and there were noisy voices outside the door.

Tang Ying ran out to have a look, only to see people on the street full of voices and laughter.

It turned out that Peng Zhen, the lord of the city, had won another battle and returned with his troops triumphantly.

Peng Zhen and his only daughter Peng Li rode tall horses at the front of the team.

The people in the city lined the road to welcome them, and the two were dressed in military uniforms, looking very majestic.

Tang Ying looked at the father and daughter of the Peng family on the horse, her eyes were full of envy, she trotted back and said to her father and senior brother, "City Lord Peng won another battle, and now he is parading through the streets!"

Peng Zhen is the city lord of this place, and also the leader of the Monster Catcher Alliance, but Han Xiong doesn't like Peng Zhen's actions: "As the leader, I don't want to catch monsters to do justice for the sky, and hang out with mortals all day long."

As he said that, the old lady of the landlady brought the food and said while setting the table: "Now the world is bright and bright, how can there be any monsters doing evil? The last time I saw a demon master go out of the city to subdue demons, I was still a baby."

Han Xiong obviously disagreed with the proprietress's statement, and said: "Now the monster is hidden deep, and you look at the kind-hearted old neighbor on the street, maybe it is a monster."

"You doll will be scary, but I think life is good now. There is food to eat and work to do. It doesn't matter whether he is a man or a monster. When he comes to my small shop, he will eat my food. Slow down Yes, I went over to say hello."

The three of them went back to the backyard to rest after eating.

At night, big jade plates hang in the middle of the sky.

Tang Manzhi was sitting in the room with his eyes closed, Han Xiong was practicing in the courtyard, and Tang Ying was already sound asleep.

As soon as the midnight passed, there was a rush of gongs and drums in the city!

"Dead! Dead!"

The three immediately stood up and rushed out the door.

The three performed lightness kung fu, went up to the roof, and looked towards the street.

"Father, what's the matter?" Tang Ying asked.

Tang Manzhi felt a cloud of anger stagnate in his chest, and said, "Something has happened. Let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"City Lord's Mansion!"

The three left under the moonlight.

After the three left, the old landlord couple also came out of the room. The two elders looked at the moon, and the old man murmured:
"The world is going to be chaotic again."

The old woman sighed and said: "It's hard to live a stable life for a few years, and I don't know when this trouble will end."

The two elders were in a trance in the courtyard for a while, then turned and left.

The moonlight shone on the back of the old man, showing the tortoise pattern of vicissitudes.

If Tang Manzhi was here, he would know that this kind of pattern usually only appears on the body of a thousand-year-old turtle spirit.

The three of them came to the gate of the city lord's mansion and reported to the guards:
"Tianxingmen No. 20 seventh-generation head Tang Manzhi and his disciples came to pay a visit to Leader Peng."

After a while, the three were invited into the mansion.

Many people have gathered in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Peng Zhen looked at the three of Tang Manzhi and asked, "Are you from the Tianxingmen?"

"Yes."

"Who is Li Tiande to you?"

"It's my grand uncle, who passed on the headship to me before his death."

In the arena, there was a demon catcher with a strange yin and yang air: "Tianxingmen? After Li Tiande and Li Tianshou brothers, are there any decent talents? Tonight's matter, you can't do it."

Han Xiong was displeased: "What are you talking about!" He drew his sword and wanted to fight.

Peng Zhen slapped the table and said angrily: "Okay, what time is it, and you are still arguing here."

"Leader, we're here." The servant reported.

"Carry in."

A group of soldiers brought in three stretchers, and Peng Zhen took off the white cloth one by one to look at them.

All three are middle-aged men, described as thin, pale, without any trauma on their bodies.

"What the big monster did," a demon catcher could tell at a glance, "it is at least 500 years old that the big monster has such power, sucking up the whole body's essence and blood, and dying without any pain."

"Wouldn't it be a mortal poisoning?"

"Impossible, mortals don't have this kind of means." Peng Zhen didn't want to believe that it was a monster, but the way the three of them died was too strange.

"The three of them are all boys, I suspect it was the work of the fox demon."

Everyone discussed in the city lord's mansion all night, and finally agreed that the murder tonight was indeed caused by the fox demon.

As the lord of the Demon Catcher, Peng Zhen immediately ordered that the Demon Catcher act immediately to hunt down the fox demon in the whole city:
"Don't hurt your life, catch a suspicious monster and bring it back for interrogation."

The demon catching masters were ordered to disperse in all directions overnight, using their various skills to search and arrest them all over the city.

"Is this real shot?" Some viewers were puzzled by the picture on the screen.

Guo Fan used extremely gorgeous lighting in the midnight search scene, mainly black, with the addition of moonlight and the faint lights of the city, the whole atmosphere was cold and chilling, which immediately lifted the audience's emotions.

"Except for the moon, everything else should be real shots."

"In just ten minutes, Guo Fan's scheduling and lighting came out immediately." Professional film critics liked this scene very much, "Slow first and then rush, the rhythm is very good."

Cheng Yu'an also nodded in the audience. Guo Fan had been filming this midnight chase scene for nearly a month. The main problem was the lighting. He tried all kinds of light sources.

Don't think that black is black, just turn off the lights. In the scene of the council hall of the city lord's mansion, five layers of light were lit on the scene, and in the outdoor chase scene, Han Yan also lit three layers of light to have the current sense of hierarchy.

"When will the heroine appear?" Many viewers came to see Tong Liya.

"I don't know, it should be early."

On the screen, all the monster hunters have been busy all night, but found nothing.

Tang Manzhi and Tang Ying returned home exhausted, while Han Xiong didn't come back until noon.

Although he had nothing to gain, he was not tired at all and enjoyed the excitement of chasing monsters.

The three had a good rest, and Tang Ying went to the street alone in the afternoon to do shopping for her father and senior brother.

When buying shoes at the shoe stall on the side of the road, the pedestrians on the street were chaotic.

"Look at those two girls, they are so beautiful."

"I think it is more beautiful than the daughter of the city lord."

"Girl, this is a new rouge from our store, let's have a look."

"Girl, this is the finest silk and satin. It must look good on you."

Hearing this, Tang Ying turned around and looked, only to see two fairy-like women walking towards her.

It is the heroine Tong Liya and the female number three Yang Ying.

There is one thing to say, Yang Ying's ancient costume is very ordinary, and she doesn't need to dress up when she is with Tong Liya, she really looks like her little follower.

Bai Ling also noticed this silly kid on the street.

When passing by the shoe stall, he glanced at Tang Ying, smiled, and walked over.

Tang Ying returned to the tea shop after buying the shoes, and happened to see the second daughter drinking tea in the tea shop.

He looked at Bai Ling again.

Bai Ling seemed to recognize her, and nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Tang Ying jogged into the backyard in shame.

"Sister, look at that silly boy just now, he is so fascinated by you."

"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Ling laughed.

The old landlady came over with a pot of tea and shouted softly: "My aunt, why are you here? The city is in chaos now, and monsters are being hunted everywhere. Come at this time, and I will die."

"That kid just now, his family's demon catcher. You came to me, didn't you cast yourself in a trap? Hurry up and leave."

"Grandma, why don't you be afraid of renting a house for them to live in?" Bai Ling said.

"You can compare with me. I have achieved great success in tortoise breathing. Even if Peng Zhen stood in front of me, he wouldn't be able to spot me. Hurry back after eating." The old lady began to chase people away.

　"Legend of the White Fox" and the professor and I really put a lot of thought into conceiving this story. If we really want to write it, we can't finish it with [-] to [-] words.Pity.
