Ruins of the past

Outside the inn, Zhang Haizhu and Hao Xiangtong were still worried about Chu Qiguang in the room.

Just when they were thinking about whether to go in, they found a fire lighting up in the inn, and then the fire grew stronger and stronger, and thick smoke rose.

"problem occurs?"

Just as Zhang Haizhu and Hao Xiangtong were about to rush in to save people, they heard a soft bang and the door panel of the inn was kicked open by Zhang Jitian.

Zhang Jitian came out first with messy clothes. There were still blood stains on his clothes, but they seemed to be other people's blood. He himself looked energetic and energetic, and it didn't look like he was injured.

Zhang Jitian was carrying someone on his back, and Chu Qiguang walked out behind him. His clothes looked neat and there was no blood.

Hao Xiangtong asked quickly: "What happened to this inn? Why is it on fire?"

"The inn was attacked by monsters, but Zhang Jitian also killed all the monsters." Chu Qiguang sighed: "The fire... It was because Zhang Jitian didn't control his energy and blood well. It was too hot and lit the hay in the inn."

"How can I light hay? You didn't light it." Zhang Jitian thought to himself: "And it was obviously you who killed them all... But after killing so many, my clothes were not messed up, and there was not even much blood on them. This Chu Qiguang became more and more terrifying. ’

Chen Gang thought to himself from the side: "Brother Gou's firepower is getting more and more intense. He must have accidentally hit the station by himself during the fight." ’

The two looked at each other, then lowered their eyelids, silently listening to the lies Chu Qiguang made up.

Hao Xiangtong looked at the person on Zhang Jitian's back and asked, "Who is this?"

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly and said, "His name is Lei Yushu, the son of Yi Cheng."

Hao Xiangtong lifted Lei Yushu's hood. He had put on his hood again after dark, and deliberately lowered his voice so that his age could not be distinguished.

But at this moment, you can see a slightly green face, only twelve or thirteen years old at most.

Although the other party fell asleep with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed from time to time, and there was still a fearful expression on his face.

Hao Xiangtong sighed, thinking that all the people at the inn were killed, and he didn't know what he had gone through while staying in the pile of monsters.

Hao Xiangtong asked: "Oh... in this world... he must be frightened by those monsters, right?"

Chu Qiguang nodded with lingering fear: "I was shocked when I walked in. The monster inside is so cruel. This kid must be too frightened. He might even go crazy."

Chu Qiguang began to pave the way for what was to come. After the provincial Lei Yushu woke up, he said some "crazy words" that he shouldn't have said, which happened to be regarded by Hao Xiangtong as being overly frightened.

Zhang Jitian's eyes were rolling around, thinking: 'Zhang Haizhu is from the Demon Suppression Division, but what is the origin of this Hao Xiangtong? According to my observations in the past few days, Chu Qiguang seems to value her quite a lot. Could it be that he likes this woman? ’

He cast a few concealed glances: 'His appearance and figure are indeed top-notch, but last time when I was watching the battle on the second floor of the big library, he seemed to be coaxing another woman? ’

At this moment, Zhang Jitian felt that he had unintentionally touched the truth. Chu Qiguang's weakness might be women, and this man was probably an old pervert.

Of course, even if he thought about it, he couldn't know that Hao Xiangtong was the Taoist seedling in Chu Qiguang's eyes, so he could only secretly speculate in his heart.

Chu Qiguang continued: "Let's take this kid with us first, but no one can live here anymore. We might as well spend one night in the mountain col to the east. Zhang Jitian, it's up to you to keep us warm."

Zhang Jitian sighed in his heart after hearing this, thinking that when he was at home, the maid warmed his bed, but now he was the one warming others when he came out.

‘Well, it’s better to be at home. No, I must resist and escape from the clutches of Chu Qiguang...'

…

On the fifth day after the group left, a new convoy passed by Zeshan Station.

They were shocked when they saw the inn burned to rubble. They went to the nearby county seat and reported it to the authorities.

Afterwards, the officials arrived... The ruins of the inn were dug up, and the large pieces of broken human and animal corpses surprised everyone present.

However, all traces of the fighting at the scene were completely burned by the fire. After the investigation was fruitless, the police officers could only invite a nearby Taoist temple to calm people's hearts.

It is said that after the incident, some idle men from nearby villages came here to dig up the ruins, looking for something valuable to exchange for a drink. However, they heard crying in the middle of the night and ran away in fright. After returning home, they had a fever for three days and three nights. .

The story of Zeshan Station being haunted spread like wildfire, and many years later, the legend about the group of corpses at the station was still widely circulated in the local area.

…

Chu Qiguang and his party continued on their way. Although the journey was still uneven, they encountered either monsters or bandits, and there were even cultists from Huangtian Dao who wanted to recruit them into the gang, but they were all killed by Chu Qiguang and others.

Lei Yushu, who was led by them all the way, wanted to run away at first, but was easily captured by Chu Qiguang.

Lei Yushu looked at Chu Qiguang and cried, "Don't come over!"

Hao Xiangtong frowned and said, "Lei Yushu, Brother Chu saved you."

Lei Yushu said in horror: "He is a freak! He turned into a monster and killed all the monsters! He also burned down the inn!"

Hao Xiangtong sighed: "Oh, this child must have been too stimulated and went a little crazy."

Lei Yushu shouted: "I'm not crazy! He almost killed me!"

Hao Xiangtong shook his head and lamented that the world was difficult and the people's life was really difficult.

Qiao Zhi on the side kept circling Lei Yushu, curiously saying to Chu Qiguang in his heart: "This kid is obviously a monster, or... half-human and half-demon? Lei Yushu is actually half-demon? Isn’t it incredible?”

Qiao Zhi was surprised: "But why would he join the army to fight against the demon clan in the future?"

Chu Qiguang smiled: "I'll find out later, but there is actually half a monster among the eight generals of Xinghan... From this point of view, in the future he will be betrayed by the eunuch and fight to death with the northern wolf tribe. There may be something wrong with this. So simple."

Lei Yushu wanted to shout something more, but he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, a pair of hands were already pressing on his shoulders, and Chu Qiguang's voice came from behind his head.

"How long will you continue to make trouble?"

Lei Yushu swallowed his saliva, rolled his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "I...I was scared to death. I remembered it wrong. Brother Chu saved me. How could it be some kind of monster? It was all me. I was so scared that I was just talking nonsense.”

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Yongzhou is too chaotic. We are going to Shuzhou, so you can go with us."

Lei Yushu nodded: "I will listen to you."

Then everyone drove for another half month and finally entered Shuzhou and arrived at the boundary of Rongjin Mansion.

But before entering Fucheng, Chu Qiguang patted Zhang Haizhu on the shoulder and said: "You go first, I will go there in a day, and... don't say you know me."

Zhang Haizhu asked in confusion: "Why?"

Chu Qiguang said: "You are from the Hunter School, but I am from the Demon Assassin School after all. The Demon Suppressor here may not be so friendly to me."

Chu Qiguang's guess was good. The next day after he arrived at the Shuzhou Town Mosi Yamen, he sat there from morning to night, being dragged off again and again for the whole day.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the concierge came over and said, "Song Qianhu doesn't have time to see you today. Come back early tomorrow."

Chu Qiguang closed the Buddhist scripture wrapped in a book cover in his hand and thought to himself: 'I've finished reading... I don't have time to sit here anymore. ’

So he stood up and said, "No, I won't go to see him. He will come to see me later."
