Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 30 Apprentice, prepare to catch monsters!
Soon, all the gangsters escaped completely.

Zhou Yu and Bai Min'er also lazy to chase, after all, their main target is the bandit leader Lei Hu.

Besides, a lot of people were killed along the way.

"Thank you two heroes for saving your life."

Several women ran out of the shed, walked up to Zhou Yu and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

When I asked, they were all taken captive to the mountain, and they seemed to have suffered a lot.

Fortunately, the cottage has been taken over, and they are finally free, and they are naturally grateful.

Before leaving, Bai Min'er set off several fires and burned all the buildings and facilities in the cottage.

On the way back, Bai Min'er hesitated for a while, and finally opened her lips and said, "Zi Ling, my injury is almost healed, I...I want to go back to the sect."

Before, she followed Ying Ning and called Zhou Yu Mr.

But now... except for that, there is everything else, and it is a bit inappropriate to call him Mr.

Calling him by his first name seems a bit pretentious, so calling Zhou Yu's name is more intimate.

Although he had expected this day long ago, Zhou Yu was still stunned for a moment, and then said: "Min'er, what...Ying Ning must be reluctant to leave you."

Bai Min'er said quietly: "Then what about you?"

"What do you say?"

"I want you to tell it yourself."

Zhou Yu didn't answer, but gently hugged Bai Min'er into his arms, his actions were worth a thousand words.

"Ziling, I can't hide this from Master about what happened, so I want to go back to the sect and tell her the old man..."

"Well, I understand... why don't you stay for two more days and teach Yingning some cultivation methods."

"Alright..."

After staying again and again, Bai Min'er stayed for another five or six days.

Finally, in the afternoon of this day, the two bid farewell.

"Zi Ling, I'll come to see you as soon as possible after I've dealt with the sect's affairs."

"Well, be careful all the way, if you encounter a monster with a high level of Taoism again, don't take it lightly..."

"understood……"

"Hey, sister Min'er, Ying Ning will miss you."

Ying Ning stood on the side wiping away tears, with a small look of reluctance.

"Silly girl, what's there to cry about? My sister will definitely come back to see you as soon as possible.

Also, after my sister leaves, you must practice hard, strive to achieve a positive result as soon as possible, and become a fairy, okay? "

Ying Ning burst into laughter immediately: "Hee hee, good!"

What a heartless little girl.

Zhou Yu wasn't really worried about Bai Min'er's safety, after all, her cultivation was not weak.

The last time she was assassinated by the beauty scorpion was mainly due to her lack of experience. As the saying goes, she will learn from her experience and lessons in the future.

In addition, Zhou Yu also inquired that Caiyi will not be eighteen years old, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

And Master Baimei didn't sit down, so there was nothing to worry about.

Two days after Bai Min'er left, something strange happened in Guobei County again...

First, a watchman died strangely and suddenly, and then two government servants who patrolled the streets at night also died on the street. The death condition was exactly the same as that of the watchman.

They were all covered with scratches, and their hearts were missing.

For a time, rumors were flying all over the county, and the people were panic-stricken. They all said that there were ghosts and ghosts who were eating people's hearts.

If a similar incident happened outside the city, it would not cause such a big panic, and the common people would not be surprised.

But relatively speaking, the city is much calmer. After all, there are government offices and the Town God's Temple, so ghosts and ghosts generally seldom make trouble in the city.

Originally, Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention to this matter, but he never expected that trouble would come to him.

The reason was that one of the two yamen servants who died was the brother-in-law of Master Dong of the county yamen.

Brother-in-law's death was wronged, Master Dong naturally had to do something as a brother-in-law.

So Mr. Dong went to the county magistrate and asked him to hire an expert in the name of the government to check whether it was really a ghost.

Chang Fugui thought, if he really cracked the case and caught the monster that harmed people, wouldn't he be able to gain a good reputation?
Anyway, it wasn't his personal money that was spent.

Therefore, Dong Shiye was entrusted with full responsibility, and a notice was posted in the name of the county government, offering rewards to help the government arrest the culprit.

As a result, it was less than a stick of incense after the notice was posted, and a blind old man who called himself "Ma Zhenren" accepted the reward.

Although the blind old man couldn't see, there was always a thirteen or fourteen-year-old disciple by his side.

Master Dong was skeptical at first, thinking that this old man can't see, so what the hell can he catch?

As a result, the blind old man showed off his unique skills on the spot, causing Master Dong's attitude to change drastically. He yelled at each other, and ordered people to buy good wine and food for him.

After eating and drinking enough, Ma Zhenren took his disciples and a few yamen servants to wander around the streets together...

Coincidentally, Yingning and Chunlan went to the street to buy preserved fruit.

Zhou Yu didn't like eating preserved fruit at first, but after timetraveling, maybe he was influenced by the original owner and fell in love with it.

At present, there are few types of snacks in the world, and the preserved fruits made by the ancient method are moderately sweet and sour, and do not stick to the teeth.

Ying Ning also likes to eat, so she often goes to the street to buy preserved fruit.

After choosing the preserved fruit and paying for it, the two little girls ate and went home talking and laughing.

"Beep beep beep beep..."

Suddenly, a brass bell rang on the street.

"No, master, there are demons nearby!"

As soon as he heard the ringing of the bell, the blind and experienced disciple immediately changed his expression and whispered something to his master.

Ma Zhenren snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are a bold monster, you dare to appear in broad daylight. Apprentice, prepare to catch the monster."

In fact, this blind old man's skill is not high, it can only be said to be better than ordinary quack warlocks.

The key is that his copper bell is not ordinary, it is a special magic weapon handed down by his master's master.

Its function is that once there is evil spirit nearby, the copper bell will make different sounds.

The blind old man can roughly identify the cultivation level of the monster through the voice...

To put it simply, if the bell rings like a gust of wind and rain, he will turn around and run away: because the evil spirit is too strong, he can't beat it.

However, this instrument is not omnipotent.

From the sound of the blind old man, what appeared was just a little goblin, which could be easily dealt with.

Actually, Ying Ning is not that weak.

There are three reasons why her evil spirit is weak:

One is that her father is human, so Ying Ning has half human blood.

The second is that she stays in Zhou Mansion every day, living with human beings, so she is naturally tainted with popularity.

The third is to practice Taoism diligently, and the evil spirit will naturally gradually fade away.

"Daozhang, why don't we follow up quietly first, maybe we can catch a nest..."

A yamen servant wanted to make great contributions, so he couldn't help but come up with an idea.

"Well, it makes sense~" Ma Zhenren nodded.

So, a group of people followed quietly.

Ying Ning and Chunlan were eating snacks and chatting happily, and had no time to pay attention.

In this way, Ma Zhenren and his party followed all the way to Zhou Mansion.

"how is this possible?"

Seeing Yingning and Chunlan entered the Zhou mansion, the previous yamen servant couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhou Zhenren asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"This... This is the house of Mr. Zhou, the famous Zhou Juren in our Guobei County."
