Xu Jing didn't want to meddle in things, he went out to complete the task, not to kill demons, not to mention that he was still a monster, and it was too late to be low-key.
He watched the send-off party go all the way out of the city gate, so he stopped paying attention, and then continued to move on, and soon found an inn, paid a deposit, and stayed.
At dusk the next day.
Dangdangdang~!
The sound of a gong rang out.
"Miss Mo is dead, and she was snatched away by the Ghost King!"
A frightened voice ran downstairs and went all the way, shouting non-stop.
Xu Jing opened the window facing the street, only to see a large group of people downstairs following the shouting man, sprinting towards a notice board at the corner of the street, and then gathered there to watch the notice and discuss.
"It's so miserable, I can't imagine that even Miss Mo hasn't escaped the poisonous hands of the ghost king."
"I guessed a long time ago, how many people have escaped after so many years?"
"Alas, really, one or two, so many girls, why do you want to marry outside?"
"If you don't marry and stay in this remote place, won't you be able to marry you?"
At this time, a woman in a long blue dress suddenly ran out, tore down the notice, and cried and shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "Our young lady was not captured by the ghost king, don't talk nonsense." ” "Isn't this Miss Mo's maid?"
The crowd of onlookers was silent for a moment, and all of them dispersed, and only after confirming that the woman was alive did people relax again.
"It's not dark yet, and the Ghost King won't appear."
"She's not dead yet."
"I'm going to find Miss."
The little maid didn't seem to hear the discussion of the people around her, her expression was in a trance, and she stumbled towards the city gate: "Miss, where are you, Miss?"
” Alas~!
The people around all sighed and gradually dispersed.
Xu Jing retracted his soul, closed the window, went out of the room to the downstairs, ordered a table of food, and by the way, pulled the guy from the inn and said, "Tell me, what's going on with the ghost king robbing relatives?"
” He had listened too much, was curious, and was planning to stay here for a while, so he wanted to inquire about this place.
"The guest officer should be from a foreign country."
The guy wiped the table and whispered: "I heard that it is very chaotic outside, although we are quite peaceful here, but it is during the day, you must not go out at night, even if you go out, do not go outside the city, the forest there is very haunted, and the ghost king does not know how many people have been harmed over the years." ” "What is the origin of the Ghost King?"
"I don't know about this, but most of the girls we marry here can't escape the palm of the ghost king."
Xu Jing shook his head and said: "Even if it is the ghost king, he can't come out in broad daylight, and the family sending team can go faster......"
He stopped abruptly at this point, and without waiting for the fellow who had the same question to answer, he thought of the answer.
As a ghost king, even if you can't get out during the day, you can still do tricks like hitting the wall with some ghosts, and the family sending team doesn't understand people's words, and you can't get out after a day.
Xu Jing changed the subject and asked, "You ghost kings are making such a big fuss, no one has thought of inviting some clever Taoist priests and mages to come over and take a look?"
” Syllable~!
As soon as the words fell, the guy trembled and dropped the teapot in his hand to the ground, smashed it, and said with a panicked face: "The guest officer is cautious!"
” As he spoke, he turned around and ran, his face full of gloom, as if he had hit something unlucky.
"What?"
Xu Jing was also stunned, the ghost king could discuss it, how could he say that the Taoist priest was more terrifying than hearing the ghost?
His heart was full of doubts, but the man didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he had to give up.
After filling his stomach, Xu Jing left the inn and wandered around the street.
The streets are bustling with people and bustling, completely different from the eerie atmosphere outside where everyone is on the lookout for each other.
Although there are also people who get together in twos and threes to gossip, this is a very common thing everywhere, and what people talk about the most at this moment is that the ghost king robs his relatives.
Xu Jing listened all the way, and found that what people said was similar to the inn guys, and they didn't know the specifics, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
At this moment, someone at the corner of the street suddenly shouted: "The Taoist priest is back, go quickly!"
” In an instant, all the people on the street panicked, fled in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, they were scattered.
Xu Jing was vigilant, and he also hid in the corner, and then looked at the corner of the street.
I saw an old man wearing linen clothes, a full beard, a bow and arrows and a rectangular box of about one meter behind him, swaying and walking slowly.
"It's ......"
Xu Jing secretly looked at the old man in the distance, and a familiar feeling surged in his heart.

"Huh?"
Who knew that this old man was very sensitive, as if he had sensed something, his footsteps suddenly stopped, sniffed his nose and frowned, and looked at Xu Jing's side.
"Oops!"
Xu Jing secretly said that it was not good, and turned around and ran without hesitation.
Now that the sky is still bright, his strength is suppressed by the sun, and his body is not there, so he can't fight against this kind of powerful Taoist priest at all, especially the box behind the other party, which actually makes him tingle all over his body, and he has a very dangerous feeling.
Box?
Xu Jing felt like a thunderbolt fell in his mind, and it exploded, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and he saw the sun in his heart, and instantly thought of the identity of the other party.
"Made!
I actually ran into Yan Chixia!
” He ran faster, no wonder it felt familiar, if he didn't run faster, the crossing would be over.
"Youkai?"
Yan Chixia looked at Xu Jing's disappearing figure, and a trace of anger flashed on her face: "It is really unreasonable to dare to appear in the city in broad daylight!"
” He pulled his legs and began to pursue, which had already violated his bottom line, and he was determined to get rid of this scourge.
Xu Jing sensed that Yan Chixia was chasing, and he wanted to cry without tears in his heart, he never thought that he would meet each other here.
"Out of town, I can't stay here."
He made a decision in his heart, ran as hard as he could, and looked up at the sky.
At this time, it was the setting sun, and the golden color glow was all over the mountain city, although it was not as good as noon, but it still affected him, making it difficult for the demonic power in his body to operate.
Soon, the city gates were in sight.
Xu Jing glanced back and rushed over at a faster speed.
"Youkai, where to run!"
There was a loud shout from behind, and Yan Chixia flew up the wall and quickly chased after her.
And the pedestrians on the street who still didn't know the situation, after hearing his shout, they were all frightened and fled.
Xu Jing cursed secretly, stepped up his steps, and rushed out of the city gate in a blink of an eye.
Not far outside the city was the mountains and forests, and he entered the forest without hesitation before Yan Chixia caught up.
