Chapter 752 I Almost Couldn’t Come Back

Time seemed to pass quickly, and the sky became dark in the blink of an eye.

Couplet Master Yan Shouyun walked alone on a street where most shops were closed and there were not many pedestrians.

"Woohoo. Woohoo"

The cold wind blew by, and Yan Shouyun tightened his robe tightly. His body couldn't help but shiver a few times, and he also sniffed a few times to suck back the water-like snot.

"Alas. How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Yan Shouyun murmured to himself as he walked. When he passed a wall at the corner of the street, he could still see a notice posted on it. It was a government announcement.

This announcement is related to the case this morning. To be honest, the case is really not a trivial matter. It has spread throughout Chengtian Mansion during the day. The court also attaches great importance to it and notifies the people to be more vigilant.

No, the sky has just darkened and there are no people on the streets. Although the government has not implemented a curfew, the effect will be similar to that of a curfew. Except for a few high-end restaurants and special places, the streets are already very deserted.

So much so that when Yan Shouyun walked on this street, he almost had the illusion that he was alone.

Although Yan Shouyun also has some skills, it is obvious that the capital is now a mixed bag. He may have calculated the approximate whereabouts of the money bag, but when he found it, he only found the shriveled money bag in a small alley, and the coins in it were naturally missing. .

In fact, the money was not much, and the two bags, one light and one dark, did not add up to a hundred coins. But it was this small amount of money that decided where Yan Shouyun would spend the evening.

"Alas, the capital city is indifferent and the world is in trouble."

Sighing again, Yan Shouyun could only speed up his pace. Asking people to stay overnight was always hit by obstacles today. Perhaps in addition to the indifference of people, it most likely had a lot to do with government announcements.

The storyteller Mr. Qi was right, I, Yan Shouyun, was really unlucky today!

On the eve of the New Year, the night in Chengtian Mansion was freezing cold. Yan Shouyun shivered, tightened his straps, and walked quickly in the city.

In such a huge capital, there are not many places that Yan Shouyun can go.

The city gates are closed, and quite a few of the more than 100 residential buildings are also sealed today. Non-residents are not allowed to enter at will. Only the streets that extend in all directions and some wealthy mansions and other places can go.

Under the illumination of the stars and the moon, Yan Shouyun finally found a place to stay. It was a haystack stacked with firewood next to a ditch in a small alley.

Yan Shouyun didn't care about anything else and squeezed directly into the pile of firewood. He suddenly felt that the cold wind was blocked out. He took out a hard steamed bun and ate it, and soon he felt better.

Even so, Yan Shouyun did not regret that he did not reveal the emperor's list. He could still recognize how many pounds he weighed. It was easy to reveal the emperor's list, but it could also easily lead to trouble.

Yan Shouyun was still a little tired. After eating the steamed buns, Yan Shouyun felt sleepy. He tightened his clothes, untied the straps of his suitcase, took out the couplets inside and covered his head, and then huddled in the pile of firewood to rest.

Unknowingly, Yan Shouyun fell asleep.

Then late at night, a cold chill woke Yan Shouyun up. He trembled and opened his eyes in confusion, only to find a lot of water on the withered grass around him. There were also some water drops dripping from the couplet he put on his head, and even his own The clothes also feel a little damp.

Yan Shouyun cursed a few times in his mind, and he could see the thick fog rising in the middle of the night.

There was no other way, so Yan Shouyun could only reach out and pull out some more withered grass from the side, and put it all over himself, trying to cover himself more tightly.

This whistling sound was particularly obvious in the quiet night, as if it could be heard far away along this small alley.

This kind of movement made Yan Shouyun stop his movements subconsciously, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

It's too quiet, it's really too quiet, this is the capital.

Don't scare yourself. We are cultivators. How can we be scared if we spend the night alone?

He thought so, but Yan Shouyun remained motionless as if he were holding on to the withered grass. His eyes looked back and forth at the alley, and the fog made everything two feet away blurry.

There's no movement at all

Yan Shouyun's eyelids twitched slightly and his brows furrowed slightly. It was as if there were two selves having a conversation in his heart, one comforting himself not to be suspicious, and the other frantically shouting that something was wrong.

Alas, don't scare yourself, go to sleep and make some money tomorrow.

Yan Shouyun thought this and tried to relax as much as possible, but at the same moment, he still kicked off his legs vigorously and his body jumped up to ten feet high.

"Woo"

It was almost Yan Shouyun who jumped up and looked down. He thought he was just overreacting and was suspicious, but he saw a vague strange hand reaching towards the place where he was half lying.

"Click~~"

The wooden box was directly crushed to pieces, and the strange hand seemed to hit the corner and twisted before rising into the air again.

"Oh, mother!"

Yan Shouyun screamed strangely, and pushed his right leg directly against the wall of the room behind him. His whole body suddenly shot upward diagonally, and he grabbed the eaves in front of him with both hands, and rolled to the roof diagonally opposite.

"Bang~" "Bang~"

When Yan Shouyun ran, he felt that the wall behind him was shaking, and the roof under his feet seemed to be shaking.

"Roar"

It's not enough to just pretend not to see this situation. Yan Shouyun looked back while running and jumping, and his face turned pale with fear.

The mist was mixed with broken bricks and tiles, and something with a black aura on its body loomed in it, chasing Yan Shouyun crazily on the roof.

"Go to me!"

Yan Shouyun rushed to the edge of the roof, jumped and turned around in the air, took out a talisman from his arms, bit his index finger on the talisman, and then suddenly shot out the talisman.

The whole movement was done smoothly and smoothly, and it was perfect until the moment the spell hit the human-shaped black energy.

But the expected fire did not appear, or it was not completely absent.

With just a "Zhi~" sound, the black energy passed through the humanoid body, and then fell to the ground as if it was stained with sewage, without any effect.

"Bang~~"

Yan Shouyun leaned back and hit the roof behind him, crushing many tiles. He fell upside down and stood on his legs. He had no time to be frightened and could only run away immediately. The thing was already chasing him.

The fog was too thick to see clearly. Yan Shouyun seemed to have landed on the roofs of a row of shops. He rushed forward continuously, relying on his reflexes to avoid the height changes of some roofs.

"Roar"

The sound from behind was not loud, but it was enough for Yan Shouyun to understand that the thing was chasing him and getting closer.

In fact, it only took a few breaths from jumping on the firewood pile to running away now.

"Ah - fight with you -"

Yan Shouyun shouted, reached into his pocket, took it out, and then sprinkled it back, scattering more than a dozen talismans like a goddess scattering flowers. At the same time, he bit the tip of his tongue and turned around suddenly, spraying blood mixed with saliva at the dozen talismans.

"puff"

This mouthful of blood spurted out a faint mist of blood, and a dozen talismans suddenly lit up.

Swish swish swish.

More than a dozen talismans all flew towards the strange evil spirits behind.

"Zi~" "Zi~" "Zi~".

There was a sizzling sound, and occasionally a spark flashed. The dozen or so charms could not be said to have no construction, and they could only be said to have little effect.

Yan Shouyun, who had used the move just now, seemed to have lost all his strength. He stared at the evil spirits with wide eyes and no longer had the strength to run away.

"Get out of the way——"

A clear shout came from behind, and at this moment Yan Shouyun's feet softened and his body fell backwards. Almost at the same moment, a white light flashed against the top of Yan Shouyun's cheek.

Then Yan Shouyun saw from the corner of his eye that the chasing monster was hit by white light, and the outstretched hand broke instantly.

"Swish la la la."

The sound of iron ropes sounded, and a chain appeared from another direction in an instant, winding directly towards the evil spirit and trapping it to death in an instant.

But the next moment.

With a "bang~" sound, the monster seemed to be squeezed out by the chain, and it seemed to explode on its own, and the chain was all wrapped around it.

Wisps of black air rose like smoke and quickly merged into the mist.

"Ho ho. Ho."

Yan Shouyun was lying on the roof panting heavily, and at this moment two slightly blurry people came over.

Yan Shouyun looked to one side and saw two people who looked like government officials, but he couldn't see clearly clearly. He wasn't sure if it was because of the fog or if he saw something wrong. It wasn't until the two figures approached that he knew it was neither.

But the two figures in his sight were originally blurry.

What is this? Is it an error?

Yan Shouyun gasped and opened his eyes wide, as if he was stunned as he watched two blurry figures approaching.

"The Japanese patrol made a mark on your shoulder during the day, but I didn't expect it to be used!" "But this thing is indeed evil, so it escaped!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not just its evil nature." "Yes, it probably has some skills!"

The two figures said a few words beside Yan Shouyun, and then looked at him lying on the roof.

Yan Shouyun's heart trembled, feeling the unique coldness around him. How could he not understand that what he encountered during the day was the same as now, it was all a matter of evil!

Struggling to sit up, Yan Shouyun sat and bowed to the two Yin Cha.

"The poor Taoist Yan Shouyun has met two shady masters!"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, let’s put it this way.

Obviously, Yan Shouyun felt that he had guessed correctly. The two shadows seemed to be clearer again, and the words "Night Patrol" could be vaguely seen on the high hat.

Night God! It’s not just any ordinary shady thing!

"Now in this capital city, warlocks like you with some skills are more dangerous than ordinary mortals." "Just take care of yourself!"

After saying this, the two night cruisers stepped out and quickly disappeared into the mist.

Yan Shouyun slowly stood up and looked around. He could see no evil spirits or evil. After much hesitation, he chose to return the way he came.

After a while, Yan Shouyun returned to the pile of firewood and hay, looking at his broken wooden box with tears in his eyes. He didn't know how many good things were inside.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too late to take action, I wouldn't have given it up like this. I didn't want to talk big, it would probably be useless, and I almost wouldn't be able to come back.

In a certain house in the capital, there was a mage sitting cross-legged in a quiet room. His body was shaking violently. After shaking for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hoo"

The people in the quiet room were sweating profusely, with painful expressions on their faces, and almost couldn't come back.

But at this moment, in the distance outside the mansion, Qi Zhongbin, still dressed as an old Confucian, was standing there looking at the mansion. Judging from the imperial guards on duty at the door of the mansion, the person inside must also be the mage who unveiled the emperor's list.
