The next second, the wooden door collapsed as expected, raising a burst of dust. Su Hao coughed violently, frowned and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, then walked into the old house quickly.
The scale of this house is not big, and the space inside is very small. It used to be an ordinary family's house, and no one would visit it after it moved away. Su Hao quickly walked around the house. When she came to the backyard, she found that there was a dry well. There were cobwebs around the well, and a heavy stone was blocking the well. She stopped in front of the well and thought about it.
Meng's breath is the strongest here. She can be sure that the memory fragments are in this dry well.
Su Hao held his breath to turn the spirit power, gathered the spirit power in the palms of his hands, and then suddenly hit the big stone with his palms. The stone suddenly split into several pieces and scattered to one side.
Then she put her hands on the edge of the dry well and jumped down the next second without hesitation. The well was not deep. In a second or two, suhao landed on his toes. The bottom of the well was covered with weeds and wet moss. She squatted down and looked for it carefully. In a corner of the bottom of the well, she saw a little thing shining blue.
That's the memory fragment!
The fragment is crystal clear. It feels cold and greasy when you hold it in your hand. At first glance, it looks like an irregular stone. The surface of the fragment emits a light blue light, which is Meng's residual Demon power.
Su Hao takes out a small brocade bag from her body, puts memory fragments in it, and then carefully puts them away. After all this, she stood up, used her mana, and leaped out of the dry well.
After finding the first memory fragment without any difficulty, Sue was in a good mood. It's just... If it's no use just finding memory fragments, you have to find the owner of this memory, and then return it to its original owner before the task is completed.
But how can we find the master of memory? The street is full of people. Although she has profound magic power, she can't see who is missing a piece of memory at a glance... Forget it, wait until she gets back to the inn.
Su Hao came out of the old house and went back to the busy main street. She got rid of the quiet alleys and houses just now. She didn't like the quiet and unpopular environment.
As she walked along, she suddenly saw a group of vicious people gathered not far ahead. There was a notice board. People wanted to talk about something one after another. It looked very lively. Su Hao was curious, so he went forward to find out.
She went to the notice board, pushed aside one crowd after another, and when she came forward to have a look, she found that there was a very eye-catching reward notice posted on it. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the contents of the notice carefully
Recently, there are demons in the magistrate's house, which makes the house restless and people panic. So I put up this notice. Now I'm offering a big reward to find capable people and strange people to catch demons and get rid of them. If I can get rid of the demons in my house, there will be a big reward! Interested parties can recommend themselves to the magistrate.
"Oh, is this posted by master Ling, the magistrate?" Eat melon masses a to say.
"Just now, I saw with my own eyes the servants in their house come out to put up this notice. It's just a short walk." Eat melon masses B to echo a way.
"Is there really a monster in the magistrate?" The melon eater asked in disbelief.
"Yes! I heard strange noises coming from the room every night. Then the next day, the furniture moved one after another, and the poultry that had been well kept were dead at the gate. When master Ling and Miss Ling woke up, they always had strange bruises on their bodies. It's frightening Melon eating crowd B deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
Su Hao listened in for a while and watched the discussion of the masses. He had a general idea of the matter in his mind.
It turns out that recently, the city's well-known magistrate master Ling and Miss Ling have been haunted by demons. The family is restless every day, and the whole family is in a state of panic. They can't bear it. They put up notices like going to a doctor in case of an emergency. They spend a lot of money looking for capable people, hoping to get rid of the demons.
As soon as Su Hao's eyes turned around, she thought that she was a mage and specialized in catching demons. She had always been jealous of evil and acted on behalf of heaven. Now the demons are doing evil in front of her. If she was the original master, she would not sit back and ignore them. So she planned to go to the magistrate and recommend herself, hoping to help the magistrate get rid of the demons and give them peace.
Thinking of this, Su Hao asked the people around him about the location of the magistrate, so he set out to go.
Through a few streets, you come to a magnificent mansion. The two stone lions in front of the gate are majestic, with a red lacquer wooden door guarded by family members. When I looked up again, I saw a plaque on the door with two big words "lingfu". It seemed that it was here. As soon as Su Hao stepped forward and approached the gate, two servants at the gate met her and stopped her.
"Who's coming? Do you have an invitation A servant asked sternly.
"I'm a mage who specializes in catching demons and removing evil spirits. I've traveled here. Seeing the notice you posted on the street, I think there must be some evil things in your family, so I hope I can come to help you remove evil spirits." Su Hao said solemnly.
When the servant heard that Su Hao was coming to get rid of the demons, he looked at the beautiful young girl carefully. He found that she had an extraordinary temperament and looked very decent. She had a aura all over her. She didn't feel like a charlatan, so he invited her to the mansion.
The old housekeeper in charge of the house got a report from the servant, and soon came out to meet her, and led her to the usual reception hall to sit down.
"Immortal master, don't be impatient. Sit down and have a cup of hot tea. The master will come soon." The old housekeeper said with a smile, warm and sincere.
Then he raised his eyes and motioned to the maid standing by. The maid immediately came forward and made a cup of tea for suhao respectfully. Suhao took a sip of the cup impolitely. Although she doesn't know how to drink tea, she can also drink it well. The tea tastes delicious and must be a valuable tea. As expected, lingfu has a great family and a great career. There is a sense of wealth in lingfu.
Su Hao sat quietly in the hall for a while. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching slowly. Before he saw anyone, he heard a burst of hearty laughter, and then said aloud, "the immortal master came all the way to get rid of the demons. Ling is really grateful."
Then, a fat, kind-hearted old man, surrounded by a large group of servants, came into the hall and walked slowly towards her.
It was the magistrate, master Ling. He was wearing a silk fabric suit, with jade fingers on his thumb. His whole body was noble. You can see that he was a respectable master. It's a pity that he has a light cyan under his eyes, and the sound hall is black. Recently, he doesn't look very good.
Su Hao got up and saluted master Ling. He said respectfully, "I'm Su Hao. I'm a mage who specializes in catching demons and getting rid of trouble. I've heard that Ling's house is not peaceful today, so I've come to help you."
Master Ling quickly came forward to help Su Hao, motioned to let her sit down, and then he sat on the main seat.
"Ling, a master of Su xianguan, has extraordinary temperament and is full of immortal spirit. He must be a young, promising and powerful immortal master. I'm really lucky to meet Master Su Xian. " Master Ling said happily, and then seemed to think of something. He bowed his head and sighed heavily.
After a sip of hot tea, he continued: "the immortal master doesn't know something. Recently, there are many strange things in the house, which make people uneasy. First of all, the furniture in the house was somehow displaced, and then the livestock died at the door. After a period of time, it became more serious. Ling and the little girl often wake up to find that there are always bruises and wounds on their bodies, but they don't know when to add them. And
At this point, he deliberately lowered his voice, waved his hand to all the servants in the hall to withdraw, and then continued to speak after the others were dismissed.
"Yesterday, the housekeeper and a servant found a snake skin that had just been shed behind the rockery in the back garden. The snake skin is so huge that it can be as big as the trunk of a century old banyan tree. At first sight, it's not from the ordinary snake."
Master Ling suddenly looked frightened, even his voice could not help shaking: "Ling suspects that the snake demon is in the house!"
He seemed to think of something terrible. His forehead was sweating and shaking. He pulled out the towel in his arms and kept wiping the sweat on his head. His face was pale.
Yesterday, the old housekeeper came to report the discovery to him. Although he was afraid, he went back to the garden to check the situation.
When he saw the huge snake skin, he was scared out of his wits. He saw that the snake skin was more than two feet long and two feet wide. The size of the snake skin showed how scary the monster was. He couldn't sleep and eat at the thought of hiding such a scary monster in his home.
For fear of disturbing people's hearts and causing unnecessary panic, master Ling didn't tell anyone about the discovery of strange snake skin, and even ordered the people who found the snake skin not to make any noise. Just order them to put up a reward notice the next day, hoping that someone can show up and rescue them.
Su Hao was also surprised when he heard master Ling's words. If the snake skin is as big as the trunk of a banyan tree, it must be a snake demon who has been practicing for many years. It's hard to estimate his accomplishments. Sue had a headache.
However, since he has come to lingfu and promised to get rid of the demons for lingfu, there is no reason for him to retreat. It's imperative to arrest the snake demon and return peace to lingfu!
She looked back at what master Ling had just said, carefully analyzed it in her heart, thought about it a little, and felt what she had mastered.
Su Hao pondered for a while and said, "I heard all kinds of things that master Ling described just now. It seems that this snake demon always makes trouble in the middle of the night when everyone is dead. It's a good time to start after everyone is asleep in the middle of the night. From this we can see that if we want to lead the snake demon to appear, we have to wait until evening. "
At this time, it's about 17:00-19:00 in the evening. Soon after the sun sets, the sky is a little darker than at dusk, and it's not a good time to catch demons.
Su Hao and master Ling have a detailed discussion and make a plan to lead the snake demon out in the dead of night, and then catch the demon on the spot. Master Ling asked the housekeeper to arrange a good guest room for her to stay tonight, because no one can say exactly when the snake demon will appear, so they have to wait.
After arranging the room for Su Hao, master Ling originally wanted to entertain Su Hao, but Su Hao refused. There is still a lot of work ahead of time to prepare for catching the snake demon. She can't relax for the sake of repairing the snake demon, so Su Hao orders the servants to send the food to her room.
