Not long after, news came from the county magistrate that his daughter was willing to use her body as bait to lure the demon.
When Luo Daozhang and others arrived, they heard the county magistrate say with tears in his eyes: "Wan'er, Wan'er, I have taught you so well. How can you do such a dangerous thing?"
Wan'er comforted her and said: "My father has always made decisions for the people. Since he took office, he has had many virtuous reputations. The tiger father has no dogs and daughters, and human lives are at stake. How can I sit back and watch? And that monster only harms women, even if I don't stand up , can we be spared?"
The county magistrate said: "There are ghosts and gods protecting us in the official residence, how can we not be spared?"
Wan'er smiled and said: "Father, father, you want me to be a bird in a cage. I can hide for a while, but can I hide for the rest of my life? You have always taught me the way of a saint, but why are you so concerned now?" "
The county magistrate said: "I already regret it. I just hope you are safe and don't want you to be a virtuous and virtuous talented woman."
Wan'er took his arm and said: "Father cares about me, but he also has to trust Taoist Luo and the others. Taoist priest Luo has profound teachings, and the Great Immortal from the North has always been efficacious. Lord Chenghuang protects one side and has great magical powers. There are also the Great Buddha Temple, There is an expert in Longrui Palace, and my daughter is very safe."
Daochang Luo and others stood outside the door and saw Miss Wan'er blinking at them.
The county magistrate finally calmed down and bowed deeply to them: "Wan'er's safety is left to you. I am just a daughter. Please protect her."
Taoist priest Luo said solemnly: "Miss Wan'er is very righteous. As long as I am alive, I will never let Miss Wan'er suffer any harm."
The official residence is protected by gods, and the demon will not come.
So the talented girl Wan'er planned to go out to Lanzhu to enjoy the scenery and stay at a hotel in Lanzhu.
When traveling, I put on all the airs of a young lady, with carriages, horses and soldiers guarding me. I said I was going to see the scenery and write poems.
Many young men from wealthy families in Shanyin didn't know what was going on, so they all followed him. Some admire talent and reputation, some admire reputation, and many want to have a chance encounter with the county magistrate's daughter. If they can get the Dharma's eye, they will have a relationship with the county magistrate from now on.
After coming and going, it turned out that Shanyin Academy was going to hold a poetry meeting in Lanzhu, and many talented people came.
Wan'er couldn't drive them away, but with so many people and many hands, it was even more dangerous.
The accompanying monks had already rushed to Lanzhu Inn in advance to prepare. Seeing such a battle, they felt troubled for a while.
Miss Wan'er said: "If they want to hold a poetry meeting, they can hold a poetry meeting. There is no danger during the day. I will go and stabilize them first. When I return to the inn at night, I will leave it to you."
Taoist Luo and a group of monks have already secretly laid a dragnet, waiting for the demon to come and catch him in one fell swoop.
Taoist priest Luo handed a sachet to Wan'er and said, "Girl, put this on your body. If you are in danger, it will save your life."
While she was talking, students from the academy came to invite her to participate in a poetry meeting.
At dusk, Miss Wan'er came back early.
Unfortunately, nothing happened overnight and no demon came. The county magistrate also sent someone to report that no murder occurred last night.
Taoist priest Luo said: "We must not take it lightly. The monster is not in the city, and may be hiding nearby."
Wan'er still went to the poetry meeting, browsed the beautiful scenery of Lanzhu, and got some poems. It's a pity that those children from rich families are too thoughtful or have some knowledge, but in Wan'er's eyes, they should be kept at a distance.
On the contrary, there were a few poor scholars whose poems were clear and beautiful, which made Wan'er feel happy. This shows that knowledge has nothing to do with wealth.
Returning to the guest house at dusk, it was another peaceful night.
Everyone gradually understood that the demon must have sensed that someone was ambush and did not dare to show up. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to neither commit crimes in the city nor show up in Lanzhu for two consecutive days.
Everyone knew that waiting like this would lead to no results, but no one dared to speak.
Taoist Master Luo hesitated to speak, but Wan'er saw clearly and said, "If Taoist Master has a plan, just speak up. Since I'm here, I'm ready to take risks. Even if something unexpected happens, I won't be surprised. you."
Several wise men in the field blushed for a moment. They had such great abilities, but they couldn't compare to their youngest daughter's decision-making.
Taoist priest Luo said solemnly: "To catch this monster, we must take dangerous measures."
On this day of the poetry meeting, Wan'er was not in a hurry to leave and enjoyed the beautiful scenery at dusk. Instead of rushing back to her small courtyard, she went back to the inn to have dinner with the students from Shanyin Academy. Listening to their eloquent talk, they were like peacocks spreading their wings.
It was a cold winter day, and a cold wind suddenly blew in the lobby, and the candlelight quickly dimmed.
At this time, one of Wan'er's guards came over and said, "Miss, Master Luo, please go back."
Wan'er said goodbye to all the students and headed to the backyard with her maids and servants. After passing through the front hall and reaching the porch, the lights suddenly went out.
In the darkness, a hand grabbed Wan'er, but before she could get close, she heard a sneer, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
A streak of red light flew out of Wan'er's sachet, transforming into a charming and charming woman. With a flick of her finger, a beam of flying flame fell on the guard behind Wan'er.
The guard suddenly turned into a black smoke and disappeared against the porch.
"Where to go!" The woman turned into red light and chased the black smoke.
Wan'er was still in shock. When they saw Daozhang Luo and others coming from the backyard, both parties heaved a sigh of relief.
Director Luo said: "Don't be afraid, Miss Wan'er, it's the Great Immortal from the North who is catching monsters. Which direction are they going?"
Wan'er pointed the direction for them, and they all chased after him to prevent the demon from escaping.
Wan'er's heartbeat had not yet calmed down, so she led the maid towards the backyard and said, "I was scared to death. I thought I was going to be kidnapped by a demon."
She took just one step and had to stop. Because her coat was grabbed behind her, she couldn't move forward.
Wan'er's heart started to beat wildly. She looked back and saw that her maid looked cold and different from before.
Wan'er forced a smile and said, "Let's go, why did you stop?"
The maid smiled and turned into a black shadow, as if a black cloth was rolled towards Wan'er.
Wan'er closed her eyes and screamed, feeling as if a mass of mist was hitting her body. There was no pain or injury.
She quietly opened her eyes and saw a line of white smoke surrounding her, isolating the black shadow.
A clear male voice sounded beside her: "It's better to come early than to come by chance. Girl, you are frightened."
Wan'er was startled and took a step back. She saw a young man wearing a red cloak standing next to her in the white smoke. His handsome appearance made her feel shaken. Her heart was beating harder than when she was in extreme danger just now.
A bright moon seemed to rise behind Gong Mengbi. The bright moon shone on the black shadow, and the black shadow suddenly shrank, got into the darkness, and disappeared.
Wan'er said quickly: "Don't let it go! This monster has killed many people."
Gong Mengbi looked again and saw that the black shadow had gone somewhere.
He laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll look for it later. Have you seen anyone from Luo Shi Taoist Academy?"
Wan'er said: "They went after another black shadow."
Gong Mengbi said: "Then I will wait for them here. What do you call this girl?"
