Reborn Wild Boar: What's wrong with eating a few single people?

Chapter 37: The Dragnet, Meet the Old Beggar Again

Yuanqing Temple.

In the wing room, Yuan Hu, who was practicing, suddenly trembled all over, his aura was turbulent, and he suddenly opened his eyes. His tiger eyes were like torches, and a trace of surprise flashed in the depths of his pupils, and then quickly turned into anger.

"Damn it! Who killed my King's Die Ji."

Yuan Hu's face was gloomy and terrible. Die Ji was his confidant and had followed him for many years. She was his most capable general.

However, just now, the spiritual connection between him and Die Ji suddenly disappeared. There was only one possibility in this situation, that is, Die Ji was killed by someone.

Thinking of this, Yuan Hu was furious, turned around and turned into a ball of black evil wind, swept out of the wing room, and flew straight to the direction of Tianwu City.

Half an hour later, the black evil wind transformed by Yuan Hu fell on a small hill outside Tianwu City. After landing, Yuan Hu immediately took out the illusion talisman given by Taoist Yuan Yu, turned into a pale and thin black-robed Taoist priest, walked out of the woods, and headed straight for the gate of Tianwu City in front.

"Hey, what happened today? The city gate is closed?"

When Yuan Hu arrived at the gate of Tianwu City, he found that the gate was closed. A large number of fully armed Tianwu guards stood on the city wall at the gate. Whether it was on the city or under the city, or in front of the city or behind the city, there were densely packed figures of Tianwu guards.

"Could it be that the Tianwu guards found out that I deceived believers!"

Yuan Hu was a little uneasy, but his face remained calm.

He looked around the Tianwu guards. When he saw a human wearing black and red brocade clothes and carrying a bronze double sword, his pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were full of horror.

"Demon Suppressor?"

"Demon Suppressor has come to Tianwu City!"

Yuan Hu was secretly shocked. Demon Suppressor is a special existence responsible for dealing with demons. It is organized, disciplined, and extremely powerful. Once they are targeted, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Could it be that Die Ji was exposed?"

It must be. With the ability of Demon Suppressor, it is almost effortless to kill a mere ghost.

Yuan Hu's eyes narrowed. He wanted to go over and ask about the details, but he immediately became cowardly when he saw the figure of the Demon Suppression Envoy.

He didn't want to fall into the trap. If he was caught by the Demon Suppression Envoy, it would be a big trouble.

He Yuan Hu was not a new monster like Zhu Ganglie who didn't know the height of the world. The name of the Demon Suppression Envoy was not small in the eyes of the monsters.

It's not that Yuan Hu couldn't beat the bronze Demon Suppression Envoy in front of him, but he was worried about the subsequent pursuit, which was basically the same as stirring up a hornet's nest.

You have to know that once you are on the Demon Suppression Division's Demon Subduing Book, it means that you will face the endless pursuit of the Demon Suppression Division in the future, which will be a long-lasting disaster.

You think you are safe after killing a bronze demon slayer. After killing a bronze demon slayer, there is a black iron demon slayer behind. After killing the black iron demon slayer, there is a silver demon slayer behind. After killing the silver demon slayer, there is a gold demon slayer behind. After killing the gold demon slayer, there are the Azure Dragon Demon Slayer, the Vermillion Bird Demon Slayer, the Black Tortoise Demon Slayer, and the White Tiger Demon Slayer behind.

One or two may be easy to deal with, but if there is a group, run as far as you can! Being caught and locked up in the demon slayer tower is a life worse than death.

The natural materials and treasures that the demon slayers are cultivated by the demon slayer department are all from demons. Cutting flesh, bleeding, and extracting souls are indispensable.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Hu subconsciously thought that Die Ji might have encountered a demon slayer and accidentally exposed her identity, leading to her being killed.

Now the entire Tianwu City is heavily guarded and the whole city is under martial law. Even a fly cannot fly in. It is unrealistic for Yuan Hu to inquire about the situation in the city.

There was silence for a while, and a demonic wind surged from Yuan Hu's body, and he immediately returned to Yuanqing Temple.

......

Tianwu City.

After a tense night, the city's vigilance was still not relaxed. The streets were still full of Tianwu guards patrolling, and the number of people walking on the road was much less than in the past, and they walked sparsely on the streets.

Two days later.

The atmosphere in Tianwu City gradually became lively. Although the city was still on high alert, the number of people coming out for activities gradually increased, and the tense atmosphere caused by the appearance of demons was also relieved a lot.

After all, there were almost no people in Tianwu City who saw the demons appear with their own eyes. Except for the few demon suppressors, ordinary people did not even see a hair of the demons. Most people doubted the authenticity of the demons' chaos.

Besides, no one in the city had heard of any family being harmed by demons. No one had died, so how could there be demons causing trouble? So rumors spread privately, and people thought that the demon-suppressing envoy from the capital was just catching wind and shadows and bluffing.

In the city lord's mansion, the exclusive chair that originally belonged to the city lord Fang Tianxing was now occupied by the black iron demon-suppressing envoy Yang Xiao.

"Lord Yang, now two whole days have passed, and the wild boar demon still has no signs of showing up. The two-day ban has caused complaints from the people in the city, and rumors are everywhere. The streets are full of comments accusing this city lord of inaction. If the ban is not lifted, it may arouse public anger and be detrimental to our Tianwu City!"

City lord Fang Tianxing looked bitter and spoke carefully.

Hearing this, Yang Xiao's face became more gloomy, and he couldn't help feeling aggrieved in his heart.

He felt like he was playing a game with his opponent with all his strength, throwing a punch with all his strength, but in the end he found that he hit the air. The feeling of loss made him feel deeply powerless.

In the past two days, Tianwu City has been turned upside down. Every house has been carefully searched, and the population of every household has been checked one by one.

However, what is puzzling is that no trace of the wild boar demon was found. It seemed to evaporate out of thin air and disappeared without a trace.

After a moment of silence, a shrewd light flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes. He turned to the three bronze demon-suppressing envoys beside him and ordered:

"The three of you immediately notify Fang Tianba, the leader of the Tianwu Guards, and ask his squad leaders to lead their respective teams to strengthen the search of the areas within Tianwu City. Especially those places where it is easy to hide, you must carefully investigate. At the same time, The news is that the city's ban will be lifted tomorrow, allowing people to freely enter and leave Tianwu City."

Having said this, Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued.

"However, this is my envoy's trick to lure the enemy. Although the ban on the city will be lifted tomorrow, the force of secret warning cannot be reduced and will be increased. All official servants in the city will be mobilized to guard the entrance and exit of the city with all their strength. The watchtowers at the four corners of the city must be Be vigilant at all times. Once you see a demonic cloud flying out of the city, you will immediately light up the smoke. I and other demon-suppressing envoys will rush to intercept it as soon as possible. "

Yang Xiao issued several orders in one breath, thinking of everything he could think of. As long as the wild boar monster dared to show up, he would kill it with thunderous means.

Several bronze demon-suppressing envoys took the order and left to prepare for the preparations after the seal was lifted tomorrow.

...

The third day.

Tianwu City was completely unblocked. As soon as the news came out, the whole city was excited and cheered. Everyone walked through the streets and alleys to tell each other. The demonic storm that had shrouded the hearts of the people for two consecutive days dispersed instantly. There was a kind of clearing of the clouds and seeing the moonlight. feeling.

In an instant, the originally deserted Tianwu City became lively again, with a strong atmosphere of life.

The palace.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone down, illuminating the small attic.

Zhu Ganglie lay on the cold ground, his eyes closed tightly, and his breathing was steady and deep.

However, when faint cheers came from outside the house, his keen ears twitched slightly and he immediately opened his eyes.

"It seems that the city lord and the Black Iron Demon Suppressor finally could not withstand the pressure and lifted the ban on the entire city."

Zhu Ganglie thought to himself.

He had already guessed that if the Black Iron Demon Suppressor could not find his trace, he would inevitably face doubts and pressure from the people in the city, and would have to lift the ban.

It was still just dawn, and the whole world was immersed in tranquility.

Zhu Ganglie walked out of the cellar cautiously, his steps so light that he could hardly hear the sound.

The guards stood in front of the attic to protect the courtyard. They were so exhausted that they were taking a nap and were completely unaware of Zhu Ganglie's presence.

He transformed into a black evil spirit, slipped past the guard quietly, and disappeared into the small attic like a ghost without causing any ripples.

Of course, Zhu Ganglie did not take it lightly.

He knew very well that Yang Xiao would never give up easily. This whole city's unblocking drama was probably just a trap, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

So, after sneaking out of the small attic, Zhu Ganglie did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he found a remote corner and cast his transformation talisman, turning himself into a little Taoist priest.

With his strong skills, he easily climbed over the palace wall and then appeared on the street majestically.

At this time, people on the street began to get busy, and the noise and footsteps were intertwined. No one noticed this seemingly ordinary little Taoist priest.

After a careful walk around Tianwu City, Zhu Ganglie found that although the city had relaxed its guard, the only way in and out of Tianwu City and the surrounding city walls were all covered with heavy crossbows. They were still heavily guarded, even more so than before. Be more rigorous in two days.

Although Zhu Ganglie has the ability to fly, the large heavy crossbows placed on the city wall are no joke. The crossbow arrows are as thick as an arm, and one arrow can split mountains and rocks. Even if Zhu Ganglie's defense is high, he will not dare to do it easily. adventure.

What's more, there are more than one heavy crossbow. There is one almost every distance. Dozens of heavy crossbows fire at the same time. Even if you have a bronze head and an iron body, you can be shot to death.

After wandering around the city for a few times, Zhu Ganglie had already begun to make plans in his mind on how to escape over the city wall.

Although turning into a demon cloud would immediately expose his identity, Yang Xiao must be secretly waiting for him to be exposed somewhere.

But Zhu Ganglie couldn't control that much at the moment. It was much better than staying in the city and being surrounded and killed by thousands of Heavenly Guards and Demon-Suppressing Envoys. If he ran out, these Heavenly Guards wouldn't be able to catch up with him, but Yang Xiao was a bit capable. More difficult to deal with.

Just as Zhu Ganglie was thinking this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

An unkempt old beggar was hunched over, holding a stick in his left hand and a bowl in his right hand. Although his tone and demeanor were humble, there was no contempt in his eyes.

"Masters, please come on! The city has been closed for two days, and I, an old beggar, have been hungry for two days. I haven't even eaten a drop of rice, so I'll spend some time!"

The old beggar surrounded the passers-by and kept begging.

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie's eyes flashed and he walked over with a smile.

"Hey! Isn't this a beggar? You are so polite." Zhu Ganglie greeted with a smile.

The old beggar raised his head, glanced at Zhu Ganglie with turbid eyes, and immediately recognized Zhu Ganglie's identity. It was the little Taoist priest who asked him at the gate of the city when the Demon Suppressor first entered the city half a year ago.

"So it's you, the little Taoist priest. I remember you, old beggar."

The old beggar looked Zhu Ganglie up and down, and then said: "Little Taoist priest, during the two days of the city's lockdown, there wasn't even a ghost on the street. You didn't get any money from it, right? Let's agree first that you will give the old beggar half of the money." The old beggar had thrown the piece of silver into the bellyband of the Madam of Honghualou, and it was gone."

The old beggar thought that Zhu Ganglie, who had been hungry for two days like him, would come to him to ask for his money back for dinner, so he said quickly.

Zhu Ganglie's expression was shocked, he looked the old beggar up and down, and said in shock: "Master Beggar, with the way you are dressed, can you enter the Honghua Building?"

"Why can't you get in? You little Taoist, don't underestimate the power of money. You are still too young. Get out of the way. Don't disturb the old beggar while I do my work. If I faint in front of you, don't say that the old beggar is blackmailing you. ”

The old beggar shook his head and tapped the wooden stick on the ground to remind Zhu Ganglie not to block his way.

Zhu Ganglie smiled slightly, reached into his arms and took out a gold bar as thick as a finger. He held it in his hand and waved it in front of the old beggar's eyes, almost blinding the old beggar.

This gold bar was exactly the reward given by Mr. Liu when he exorcised ghosts in the Liu Mansion last time.

"this......"

The old beggar's cloudy eyes instantly turned golden, and his eyes were filled with the golden light emitted by the gold bars.

"Little Taoist priest, your method is really good. You can even deceive gold bars. Otherwise, you Taoist priests are still good at deceiving people and can deceive people into lameness."

The old beggar licked his lips and looked enviously.

"Master Beggar, do you want this thing?" Zhu Ganglie said with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth.

Hearing this, the old beggar's eyes lit up and he nodded fiercely.

"The old beggar definitely wants it, but are you, a little Taoist, willing to give it to you? Don't show off here, be careful, old beggar, I will fall on you directly, and this gold bar will have to change hands!"

Zhu Ganglie disagreed, and whispered in the old beggar's ear: "Master Beggar, if you take me out of the city, I will give you this gold bar. How about that?"

A hint of enlightenment flashed through the old beggar's cloudy eyes, and he naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Ganglie's words, but then it turned into confusion.

"Little Taoist priest, you can go through the city gate when you leave the city. There is no need to dig into the ground!"

After hearing this, Zhu Ganglie immediately understood that the old beggar had a way to get out of the city without using the city gate, and explained with a smile.

"Master Beggar, I'll tell you the truth. I was cheating in the city a few days ago. Someone caught me and reported it to the police. I was put on the wanted list and it was posted at the entrance of the government office. If I walked through the main entrance, wouldn't I be committing suicide? ?”

Zhu Ganglie said something nonsense casually and found a good excuse for himself.

Hearing this, the old beggar showed a hint of understanding on his face.

"If you don't take the right path, you will suffer a lot now! You can turn around while you are young, and don't go further."

The old beggar shook his head, looking like he hated iron, and then continued.

"Old beggar, I'm not helping you just for the sake of this gold bar, but for the sake of our friendship, do you understand?"

The corners of Zhu Ganglie's mouth twitched slightly and he smiled: "Thank you Lord Beggar!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old beggar took the gold bar from Zhu Ganglie's hand and carefully put it into his arms. He looked around cautiously and saw that no one was paying attention, then he spoke.

"Let's go! The old beggar will take you out of the city right now."

As he said that, the old beggar held a wooden stick and slowly walked towards a remote place in the east of the city.

Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie's eyes flashed and he followed the old beggar closely.
