Chapter 72 71. Thousand Years of Crows
"Why haven't those two bastards come back after being gone for so long?"

Xu's mother Liu Fang stood at the gate of the mansion with her hands on her hips, looking left and right at the intersection, cursing.

Xu Qing, who had just finished his training, came out and said, "Mom, my elder and second brothers might be lost. I'll go find them."

"Two idiots, you're unfamiliar with the place, why don't you ask Master Xing to go with you?" Mother Xu and Mother Liu scolded, then turned to the youngest and said, "Do you know where they went?"

"I have some ideas for finding someone."

"Okay, San'er, go and bring them back." Xu's mother Liu Fang nodded, "They are two guys who really make me worry."

"Okay, sir."

Xu Qing pretended to obey orders and walked out of the mansion under the unpleasant gaze of his mother. He used his powerful sense of smell and eyes that could see qi to search for the whereabouts of his elder and second brothers.

On the way, Xu Qing met Mo Qingxue and Dasha whom he had met before.

At this time, Mo Qingxue was walking on the street holding something similar to a compass in her hand, but there was no needle on the compass, but a red eyeball.

The red eyeball was suspended above the compass, spinning non-stop. When Xu Qing's eyes met those of the pupil, he felt uncomfortable.

It was like being stripped naked and presented in front of those red eyes.

"What is this?" Xu Qing asked, "You are holding this thing and showing it off in the streets. Aren't you afraid of scaring passers-by?"

"It's you." Mo Qingxue turned around and found that it was Xu Qing. She explained, "This is the Thousand-Year-Old Crow Eye, a treasure used by the government for investigation."

"The eyes of a thousand-year-old crow have the ability to see through things. It can detect ghosts and spirits, and see evil spirits. Ordinary methods of hiding are useless in front of it."

"The imperial court has issued a decree ordering the cities and towns along the Huai River to conduct self-examination and find out the evil spirits hiding in the city."

"Although we found the black snake demon by accident last time, there is no guarantee that there are no other demons hiding in the city, so the county magistrate ordered us detectives to take out the treasures we found and wander around the city."

"See if you can find other demons."

"So that's how it is." Xu Qingming understood and asked with concern, "Have you found any other evil spirits hiding in the city?"

The Xu family has moved to Huai'an City. If there are still evil spirits hiding in the city, it will have a great impact on their safety.

"Not yet. I've been looking for it all morning and it hasn't been posted yet."

Mo Qingxue was responding casually when the Thousand-Year-Old Crow's Eyes, which had been turning on the compass, suddenly stopped in one direction.

Mo Qingxue saw the situation of Qiansui Yamu and knew that he had discovered the existence of the evil spirit. She swallowed the words that were about to rise in her throat and her eyes suddenly turned fierce:

"Evil spirits discovered!"

Dasha beside him tensed up instantly, his energy and blood gathering strength.

Xu Qing turned his eyes and decided to follow and take a look.

Under the guidance of Qiansui Yamu, the three of them walked through the streets and alleys, and finally locked onto a tall and strong man with a fat face on a street with few pedestrians.

"It's him!" Mo Qingxue stared at the man's back, "There are evil spirits hidden in him, and there are more than one!"

Dasha got a little scared when he heard this: "More than one? Can they get through the inspection at the city gate? Otherwise, should we go back to the government office to ask for help?"

Mo Qingxue glared at Dasha and said, "Why are you so cowardly?"

Dasha shrank his neck.

Mo Qingxue turned to look at Xu Qing. Xu Qing knew what she meant and nodded.

After receiving Xu Qing's reply, Mo Qingxue felt more confident: "Get ready!"

The tall and strong man who was walking on the road suddenly felt as if a thorn was on his back. His eyes changed and he suddenly turned around, his gaze like a knife shot towards the position where Xu Qing and the other two were.

Discovered?

Mo Qingxue's expression froze, and then she shouted loudly.

"Do it!" Before he finished his words, he rushed out violently, and the long sword at his waist burst out from the scabbard like a waterfall against the current.

The tall and strong man's pupils were instantly illuminated by the white light. He narrowed his eyes slightly, but saw the flash of a knife splashing around. Everything was white, but there was no one swinging the knife.

at the same time.

Xu Qing, wrapped in golden light, appeared behind the tall and strong man, with the hairpin talisman being held between his middle and index fingers.

Dasha climbed up the eaves and walls, jumped onto the roof of a house on the street, and chopped down from above.

The tall and strong man felt the attacks coming from the front, back and above. He looked stern, opened his mouth and spit on the ground. A ball of sticky and dirty black liquid came out of him.

When the black liquid was spit out, strong yin energy burst out, and then the black liquid that looked like black mud seemed to have intelligence and wrapped around the tall and strong man.

next moment.

Three attacks came down, but it was as if they fell into a quagmire and all their power was dissipated and swallowed up. Then, the three of them saw a black shadow flash quickly in their eyes, and then they all flew backwards.

Mo Qingxue flew back the way she came, her life or death unknown. Dasha was smashed into the house next door. Only Xu Qing was protected by golden light.

While they were safe and sound, they saw three tentacles extending from the black mud and pulling them away one by one.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and while he was still retreating, he silently chanted in his heart, calling out the Jiazi God.

The figure of the Dharmadhatu gradually appeared in the air. He was about twelve feet tall, covered in dark armor, holding a long-handled heavy axe, with a long sword on his waist and golden boots on his feet.

It is indeed majestic and dignified.

A spirit of war and battle surged out, making this area seem like a battlefield.

"Ok?"

A doubtful voice came from the black mud.

However, before he could make any other move, Jiazi God appeared and immediately swung the heavy axe in his hand, stepped forward and chopped down with it vertically.

The axe fell with tremendous force, but this time the black mud did not absorb all the power of the axe like it did before.

Accompanied by the fierce force, the black mud suddenly exploded with a "bang".

The tall and strong man then showed up.

At this moment, his hands were covered with black mud and crossed in front of his chest, but in front of the falling giant axe, he was still chopped back a long distance.

At this time, Xu Qing just landed steadily.

He looked up and saw that the man was no longer as tall and strong as before, but had become much thinner.

If it was a strong and muscular man before, it is now a bamboo pole.

The black mud that was blown apart by the axe slowly crawled back to the man's feet, crawled into his trouser legs, and then turned into a black snake that coiled around the man.

Seeing this, Xu Qing had a flash of thought.

Was the black mud actually a demon? And it hid in this man's body to avoid the inspection of the magic mirror at the city gate?
"What is this?" The man asked with a strange accent.

Xu Qing frowned.

Judging from his accent, isn’t this man from Dasheng?
Seeing that Xu Qing did not answer, the now skinny man continued to ask: "How did you find me?"

Xu Qing did not intend to answer his question. He was ready to summon Ding Chou God, and the two gods would suppress this strange man together.

But when Ding Chou Shen appeared, his face suddenly changed. He lowered his head abruptly and saw golden light under his feet constantly splashing sparks.

Strange snakes made of black mud, only as long as fingers, were biting and swallowing the golden light covering his body, trying to break through the golden light and get into his body.
