When Mr. Hong saw Hao Laodao return to the backyard, he seemed to want to find Zhou Qing and take her out with him. He murmured to himself on the roof,
"It's actually easier this way."
He stood up and put down the copper coffin behind him. The enemies here had no need of the zombies inside.
"Master, please be patient for a few more days. When the promotion is completed, I will definitely find a powerful practitioner to honor you." Mr. Hong bowed twice to the coffin that had been replaced by iron and then jumped down. The roof quietly hung behind Hao Laodao.
Taoist Hao was not high in cultivation and did not realize that he was being followed. He only wanted to find Zhou Qing. Soon he came to Zhou Qing's boudoir. He stretched out his palm and patted the door. Before he spoke, Xiao Huang He rushed to say: "Miss Zhou, your uncle is here to see you."
Hao Laodao's eyes widened and he gave Xiao Huang a slap in the face, "What if you scared her?"
Then his voice immediately became gentle, and he ignored Xiao Huang's eye roll and said, "Niece Qing'er, are you here? I am your Uncle He."
Zhou Qing and Xi'er naturally know the identity of Hao Laodao. They have already met each other this afternoon, so they will definitely respond if they are in the house. There was no sound coming out at this time, which made Hao Laodao's heart skip a beat.
The situation was urgent, and Hao Laodao didn't care so much. He raised his foot and kicked open the door. Xiao Huang took the opportunity to rush in. He faced the left side of the house and looked up and down. Hao Laodao kicked the door open and walked in. Looking to the right, one person and one demon back to back not only had a clear view of the situation in the house, but also guarded against the enemy's attack on them.
The expected battle did not appear, and there was nothing strange in the house, as if no outsider had been there. But Hao Laodao still felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He always felt like someone was spying on them. Was there something wrong? Hao Laodao seemed to have remembered something. He looked up suddenly and found that there was no one on the beam. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he was really suspicious.
Xiao Huang didn't care so much. He had already run to the bed in the back room of the house and sniffed it. There was still residual warmth here. The two of them had probably left not long ago, and they were just in front of and behind their feet.
"Follow me, I can smell their scent." Xiao Huang waved to Hao Laodao and ran out along the wall.
But just now, Mr. Hong thought that Hao Laodao had found Zhou Qing's whereabouts, and couldn't help but exuded the desire to attack. Unexpectedly, the old Taoist had a good sense and caught this strange thing, and almost discovered him. Of course, Mr. Hong was not afraid of He Laodao, but it was just too much trouble to find Zhou Qing without them.
After Hao Laodao and Xiao Huang left for a while, Mr. Hong, who was on the roof, felt relieved, looked for their traces again, and followed them.
Hao Laodao followed Xiao Huang along the wing and came to You Ziji's residence. Could it be that the two girls were hiding here? Hao Laodao and Xiao Huang repeated their old tricks and rushed into the door in the same way as before.
After entering the house, there seemed to be no trace of the two little girls. Xiao Huang looked at the old Taoist priest and shook his head, "This is where their scent disappeared."
Hearing this, Hao Laodao felt a little flustered. If Zhou Qing was lost, how could he have the nerve to see Fa Xiao?
When he was blaming himself, he suddenly discovered that a piece of brick was loose under the house, and it was pushed up after a while. Hao Laodao and Xiao Huang hurriedly hid aside to take a look.
A few bricks were opened, and a pair of white hands grabbed the sides of the hole and pushed hard, and the little head with a double-ring bun popped out. She looked around and found no one, so she climbed out quickly and said : "Don't worry, miss. Xiaoyou must have gone to the front yard to help when he heard the commotion outside. No one will find us." Then he reached out and pulled Zhou Qing out of the tunnel.
"It's so dangerous now, why are you two running around?" The two of them had just stood still when these words suddenly came out from behind. Zhou Qing and Xi'er were startled. They turned around and saw that it was Hao Laodao before patting their chests and feeling relieved. .
"Uncle He, someone searched here just now. We had no choice but to get into the tunnel. Don't be angry."
Hao Laodao was not really angry, but he was really anxious, "You two come to the front yard with me quickly, don't let your father worry."
The two girls naturally had no objections. They lowered their heads to avoid Xiao Huang and followed Hao Laodao.
Mr. Hong, who had been waiting for a long time, finally appeared.
"Guys, please wait a moment."
Mr. Hong's appearance was so sudden that neither Hao Laodao nor Xiao Huang noticed it in advance. They felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Who are you?"
"Where did you come from?"
Mr. Hong is a man who understands etiquette. He replied leisurely: "My real name is not important, but some friends call me Mr. Hong. You can also call me that."
"As for where I came from, you may not have figured it out. I have always been by your side, but you just didn't notice it."
"I have no other purpose. I just want to invite Miss Zhou to an acquaintance's house for a cup of tea."
"Acquaintance? Who is it?" Zhou Qing asked puzzledly.
"You'll know when Miss Zhou goes there." Mr. Hong didn't want to reveal any more information.
This gentle conversation made Old Hao break into a cold sweat. He could clearly feel that the Mr. Hong in front of him was not an easy person to deal with. Naturally, the foundation-building monks need to be dealt with by the foundation-building monks. Let Lieutenant Hong hold it off first, and then it will be solved naturally when You Ziji comes back.
He turned to Zhou Qing and said, "As soon as I take action, you two will run forward. You will probably be safe when you reach Captain Hong."
Hao Laodao threw the wooden sword in his hand to the ground. He knew that this weapon posed no threat to Mr. Hong.
He took off the hairpin from his head again and held it in his hand, ready to use it at any time. Xiao Huang on the other side had already grabbed a piece of talisman and pasted it on his chest, and his body was submerged in the soil as if it was sinking into water.
Mr. Hong didn't care about the actions of the person and beast in front of him. If a foundation-building monk was afraid that a Qi-training monk would strike first, it would really make people laugh.
As the soil stirred under Mr. Hong's feet, a yellow figure emerged from the ground and was about to knock Mr. Hong to the ground. Unexpectedly, he took a step back and hid. Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment, and then started to use his back move again. He grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it in Mr. Hong's eyes.
With the cover of the sand, Hao Laodao also took the opportunity to release his most proud hairpin weapon.
Unfortunately, Mr. Hong just exhaled and blew away the sand. He met the hairpin head-on. He didn't dodge and was hit hard. He only heard a "clang" and sparks shot out. Mr. Hong could only Just by tilting his head back, the hairpin flew out, causing Hao Laodao to lose control. It took a lot of effort to put the hairpin back.
"Is his body so hard? He is a body refining monk!"
In the first round of the fight between the two sides, Hao Laodao was completely defeated, but it attracted Mr. Hong's attention after all. Unfortunately, Zhou Qing and Xi'er stood there stupidly, as if they were frightened by the fighting scene and forgot to escape.
Hao Laodao said decadently: "Why don't you two run away? Now none of us can leave."
After hearing this, the two little girls seemed to feel that they had lost their chance and couldn't help but lower their heads.
Mr. Hong still maintained a smile: "Please Miss Zhou not to resist fearlessly. You are our target this time. If you go downstairs, we will let the others in the house go."
Zhou Qing seemed to be frightened by the close combat and said nothing, while Hao Laodao sighed from time to time.
Seeing that Zhou Qing didn't respond, Mr. Hong reached out and grabbed it. Hao Laodao quickly stepped forward to stop him but was easily pushed aside. But when Mr. Hong put his hands on Zhou Qing, his eyes suddenly lit up and he wanted to move away, but his reaction was still a step too slow. His feet had been hit by Hao Laodao's spell and fell into the soil, making him unable to move for a short time. Xiao Huang took the opportunity to fly into the air and bit Mr. Hong on the back of his neck.
This series of attacks was so swift and violent that before Mr. Hong could turn his head, he was already bitten by Xiao Huang. Unexpectedly, Xiao Huang's teeth hurt, and he fell to the ground and rolled around. Several broken and fallen teeth appeared around him.
The surprise here is not over yet. Mr. Hong has broken free and smashed Zhou Qing and Xi'er into pieces. After their bodies dissipated, two talisman papers emerged. Under Mr. Hong's full blow, the talisman papers were also torn apart. into pieces.
"Substitute?" Mr. Hong was deceived by Hao Laodao's acting skills. He didn't realize that the person in front of him was transformed from Fu Lu at the first time. He really miscalculated. Turning around, he saw that the two little girls had already run out more than ten meters. He stopped delaying and directly reached out to capture Zhou Qing.
Seeing that Zhou Qing was in danger, Hao Laodao also used his ability to press the bottom of the box. He took out a rather exquisite talisman with complicated runes. When he pointed on the talisman, the talisman burst into dazzling light. A flash of light struck out.
After all, Mr. Hong is a practitioner of the Corpse Refining lineage, and his body is extremely heavy with yin energy, making it difficult to forcefully attack him. He actually lifted Zhou Qing directly in front of him. Afraid of hurting Zhou Qing, Hao Laodao quickly canceled the spellcasting and eliminated the lightning. When he looked carefully, he saw that there was no human figure, and the talisman in his hand became much darker.
Taoist Hao thought something was wrong, so he quickly ran to the front yard with Xi'er. He wanted to help Lieutenant Hong repel the intruders, and then they would chase Zhou Qing back together. He was no match for him on his own.
…
Mr. Hong took Zhou Qing far away from the Sheriff's Mansion, chose an unguarded section of the city wall and jumped out, arriving at a simple thatched house outside the city.
Zhou Qing did not cry or make trouble along the way, which saved Mr. Hong a lot of trouble.
"Aren't you scared?" Mr. Hong was a little curious about Zhou Qing's reaction.
"You are arresting me just to threaten my father. You will not kill me until my father gets the matter done."
Zhou Qing spoke decisively and acted calmly until she saw Langzhong Li.
"It's been a long time, Miss Zhou. Are you feeling better?" Mr. Li greeted Zhou Qing familiarly.
