Chapter 43: The Infant Stealing

Xinlin Town is actually not big, but it happens to be a lantern festival, with red lanterns of the same color hanging everywhere. In addition, the two of them had just arrived on the first day, so they couldn't help but get lost.

After walking for a long time, pedestrians on the street gradually disappeared.

I heard a gong, and then a slight knock, and someone shouted at the top of his throat.

"The sky is dry, be careful of the candle!"

Then there were a few more sounds.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and colder around, the two of them found that there were only one or two businesses left behind who were leaving behind, and they couldn't help but go and ask for directions. After all, if they dragged on, they would really sleep on the streets tonight.

Just as the two were thinking, a brisk pace came from their ears, which was not easy to be noticed. The curious two turned around and saw a black shadow sneaking around the wall. Seeing someone looking at him, they disappeared into the shadow in a blink of an eye. When they were confused, they heard a sharp and harsh sound.

"Someone has stole the child!"

This shout was heart-wrenching, and almost instantly, the lights from all directions lit up, as if no one had fallen asleep.

The two of them were worried that no one would ask for directions, and they looked lonely. Now, as the windows opened one after another, many people poked their heads out of the window above their heads and shouted.

"What? Are you here again?"

"Who is this time?"

People were talking, and soon, many people had gathered on the street, and some had already crawled into the place according to the sound just now. As two horses walked out of the crowd, the three of them were not sure where the mountain disciples were very knowledgeable. The three of them served in simple clothes with the same pattern, each carrying swords behind them. They were only about thirty years old, and looked full of energy and had a lot of cultivation. The people behind them also gathered behind them with torches, lanterns, and sticks in their hands, obviously looking very prepared.

At this time, one of the men with a slightly short body reminded the man with long-haired jade face and hair in the lead.

"Senior Brother Jiang, this thief is coming again. I see there are two young people in front of me, and they are still wandering around here at midnight. Why not go up and interrogate first!"

After hearing this, Senior Brother Jiang glanced coldly at the two people who were looking at the crowd not far away. He looked at the young and comfortable eyes, but when he looked at the expressions of the two people carefully, he felt that these two people must be not ordinary people. He hurriedly reversed his words and said, "No unreasonable!"

Then he went up to the front and smiled, bowed and said, "I wonder if the two guys have seen anyone who is suspicious has come here!"

Zhu Ruo was shocked by the faces of the two of them, remembering the sound just now, then looked at each other and pointed at the shadows together. When Senior Brother Jiang saw it, he immediately took people to go there. Under the light, there was another alley.

Seeing the crowded people, the curious two people also wanted to follow and see what happened. But they didn't expect that as soon as they walked behind everyone, they heard an uproar in front of them, and screams were everywhere. People turned around and pushed and ran back, shouting one after another, as if something amazing had appeared.

Fortunately, before they got close, they immediately flashed to the side when they heard the movement. Countless people were crowded and gushed out. In a panic, several people were actually stepped on the ground and wailed. But in front of them, there was no noise in the seven orifices of people, full of fear that was covered by wax mud.

Suddenly, a sound came from inside, and then a crisp sound was heard, as if the three of them had already fought. After the crowd dispersed, the few people who were trampled on the ground were struggling to crawl away. At this time, a subtle and complicated sound came. Zhu Ruo tilted his head to look, and saw a piece of scorpion and centipede on the ground rolling out with numbness, covering the walls on the ground, and was about to cover the people on the ground.

In desperation, Yuan Suiyun, who was standing beside him, had already taken action. He grabbed the person on the ground and threw it into the crowd, then let out a few wails, but it was better than being harmed by the poisonous insect here.

Seeing the poisonous insects spread, suddenly a figure flew out with a sword in his hand, stepped on the wall a few times before jumping into the alley. He saw his sword sweep, and the poisonous insect on the ground instantly turned into the air as if it was overturned by something invisible. Then he let out a yellow gourd in his arms from his left hand and gently sprinkled it at the entrance of the alley less than four feet wide. The yellow powder fell on the ground, and there was a harsh sound. A spark was drawn from the sword on the ground. Mars fell on the yellow powder instantly, accompanied by a pungent smell, and a wall of fire rose up, trapping the poisonous insect in it.

Zhu Ruo was amazed at the strength of Senior Brother Jiang in front of him, but suddenly a baby cry came from the box, which caused everyone's expression to change. Then he heard a scream. It was obvious that someone was caught. Senior Brother Jiang's expression was wrong and he was about to get up and rush into the fire. But as soon as he was about to move, a crazy laugh came from inside.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Then the black shadow swirled out from inside and broke out. Senior Brother Jiang felt a fishy aura coming to his face. He couldn't help but fly the sword and approached him. But he never thought that the black smoke did not dodge and directly sucked in half of the sword body. On the other end, the other party saw that the sword body was being controlled and immediately activated the breath in his body to move around to confront him.

But when I heard two crisp sounds, the sword broke.

Then a figure bumped out from below. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Senior Brother Jiang was very skilled and avoided it in time.

With a dull sound, the person who fell to the ground behind him was actually the same fellow disciple who had just talked to him! At this moment, the man's face was already very dark and purple and angry.

When the crowd saw this, they were all scared. They fled one after another, and only the bravest ones relied on the strength of the man in front of them to refuse to retreat, and hid behind him, but the sticks in their hands were trembling.

Seeing that the sword was destroyed and his fellow disciples died tragically, Senior Brother Jiang was also unhappy and his anger was hidden but not revealed. But at this moment, laughter came from the other party's black smoke, and then the smoke pillar fell on the corner of the high room and revealed his true body.

"Hahahaha, Changqing, you dare to show off your skills in front of your grandfather. You might as well go back and learn from your master's wife!"

After saying that, he laughed at the sky again, with indescribable contempt. Everyone looked at him. He was about forty years old, with a pale face in black robe, with a messy hair and a striking centipede tattoo on his left face, and in his right arm of the robe, he was holding a baby. For some reason, there was no sound at this moment.

"It's my child, it's my child!"

A woman's voice came out, and then a woman was kneeling down in panic and kept begging.

When the child's biological mother appeared, the man was also full of joy. He looked at the baby in his arms and then plucked his mouth and blew the tender face in his arms with enjoyment. The child also moved, as if he didn't like being treated like this.

Everyone felt a little relieved when they saw that the child was fine. Then they heard Senior Brother Jiang look at the person in the corner with a broken sword and say, "Since you know my origin, why don't you let go of the baby quickly? Could it be that I will catch you before you can decide to die!"

"Hahahaha! Do you know, the old demon, I have killed so-called famous and upright factions like you!"

When Zhu Ruowei heard this, he was also surprised. He didn't expect that there were still these disputes and killings in this world, and he had been living quietly in the mountains for more than ten years without even realizing it.

"Hmph, huh! Why do you evil demon come to steal a baby every year? Could it be that you have become your poor Three Corpse Sect?"

Senior Brother Jiang seemed curious at this moment to know the other party's secret. He held the broken sword and asked coldly.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the other party was full of disdain. Then he reached out and exposed the terrifying long nails at the tip of the index finger of the other hand and gently teased the soft face of the baby in his arms. The baby laughed a few times by him, as if he was very happy. Seeing the little guy in his arms being amused, the pale old face turned and the centipede tattoo on his face became more and more distorted. When he saw him pretending, he opened his mouth and poked his head out of his arms.

The people underground noticed something was different. They heard the child's laughter relax a little, but the scene became dangerous again. In desperation, the woman exclaimed when she saw that she was in danger. On the other side, Senior Brother Jiang had already escaped from his hand.

But before he could imagine that the other party shook his black robe and then took it in. In front of everyone, the terrifying face actually kissed the little guy's face, and just kissed him.

"Please let him go! He is still a child."

On the other side, he looked up satisfied and sighed, "It smells fragrant! The freshly born flesh is fragrant!"

At this time, Senior Brother Jiang knew that if he dragged it down, there would be something going on. So he hurriedly stretched out his arm to sacrifice something, and the white light flashed away. The other party knew something was wrong. He swung the robe, and the broken sword that had just been put into the robe, and hit the invading object. A sound of gold and stone attack, the broken sword fell to the ground like a weightless one, and the white light still went straight to the other party's door. When the other party saw it, he immediately took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a mouthful of black smoke. The black smoke surged like a whirlpool, and countless sounds continued to spread. Then black shadows appeared one after another, and bats trapped the white light in groups.

Below, Senior Brother Jiang saw the other party spitting out black smoke, and quickly walked around his fingers. Three fingers brushed on one palm and changed. When the proverbs in his mouth turned, the white light immediately seemed to have spirituality. Although he was trapped, he began to bump around and tremble with a trembling wave. A dazzling white light wrapped in bats with red eyes actually dispersed and turned into countless bloodshots and flew into the sky.

Seeing the black fog dissipated, the white light broke the cage and slammed the opponent's chest hard. As the blood was suddenly spit out, the enemy's body softened and rolled down. With a thump, it hit the ground hard!

Fortunately, the child did not cry. For some reason, the other party seemed to be willing to prevent this child from being hurt. He protected him wholeheartedly, even when he fell, he would put him under him. Seeing this, the child's biological mother wanted to step forward, but with a dry cough and smile, a slender nail quietly stroked the soft and tender neck. With a little force, the fingernail, which was fragile but sharper than the skin, could take the child's life in a blink of an eye.

This change is really unexpected.
