Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Chapter 3 Little sister, you are not scale enough yet
With dark circles under her eyes, Yin Xiu picked up a cup of dark water with coffee bean residue floating on the surface from the bucket. She took a sip and felt a little more energetic.

After working the night shift for a week, even though Yin Xiu's body was much stronger than ordinary people, she could not help but feel that her body was hollowed out.

Following the workers out of the factory, Yin Xiu walked to the inspection table as usual and put all his tools on the table.

"Hey, Yin Xiu, why have you changed to night shift recently? Haven't you always said that staying up late is harmful to your health?"

Mike's face was glowing, obviously having just had a good night.

Yin Xiu just smiled and shook his head without explaining much.

Compared to staying up late, staying in the light at night is probably more harmful to the body. In the past week, three more people have been sucked dry, all of them young men.

Although Uncle Ming has some means, the light is too big and he can't do it alone.

The closest I got to the fox demon was after one of its claws was broken off, and the other person ran away.

Not even the descendants of the Heavenly Master can do anything about it, and people in Guangming are even more panic-stricken now. At night, every door is closed tightly, and no one will open the door.

"Yin Xiu, I have thought about it carefully. It is indeed a pity to join the Beggar Clan with your ability."

Mike was very serious, "I heard that a new yin and yang cultivation club has opened in Jordan and is recruiting young men of the right age. I think your appearance and figure are quite suitable. If you join, you can also have a male mentor. identity."

Yin Xiu rolled her eyes at him, "I said, can you introduce me to some more serious guilds?"

Mike pouted, "Seriously? I still want to join. Is it our turn?"

Knowing that this guy was going to start complaining again, Yin Xiu waved her hand at him and walked out without looking back.

After returning to his residence, Yin Xiu lay down on the bed and had time to collect his thoughts.

Because I have to work night shifts continuously, I have to slow down my practice this week. Guiyuan Gong is only effective when practiced at night, and I always feel a little worse during the day.

Although it is a pity, under the current situation, if you are still practicing on the rooftop in the middle of the night, isn't it too long for your life?

It seems that I still have to find time to go to the black market to buy a few sets of boxing techniques. I don't expect to slay demons and defend the way. At least I can have a chance to save my life when encountering those monsters.

Just as he continued to think about it, there was a knocking sound on the musty wooden door.

Yin Xiu sat up, hid a dagger at his waist from under the pillow, covered it with clothes, and then walked slowly to the door.

He hid his figure behind the wall and then began to answer the door.

"Which one?"

Hearing Yin Xiu's voice, the man outside the door knocked faster again, "Brother Xiu, it's me, Ah Hua."

"Ah Hua."

Yin Xiu's heart was relieved. She pulled the lock on the door and said hello to her.

"You're not going to the theater to sell cigarettes today?"

Ahua didn't reply. She skipped past Yin Xiu and sat down on the bed. "I'll go there later."

"That's right. It's still early now. Let's sit down for a while."

Yin Xiu handed her a glass of water. This girl who liked to wear floral shirts was the only person he could chat with in the light.

Ahua reached out and took the water glass. Only then did Yin Xiu notice that the little finger of her left hand was wrapped with a thick bandage.

He asked: "Why, are you injured?" A-hua looked down at her finger and just smiled, "It's just a small injury. I accidentally got scratched when rolling tobacco leaves."

After a pause, she said again: "Brother Xiu, can Uncle Ming catch that fox demon?"

So you were worried about this?
Yin Xiu shook his head, "Guangmingli is too big and has a large population. Even if one or two people die, they can't be found in a short time. Although I believe in Uncle Ming's magic power, it is still too difficult to catch that guy."

"So what are you going to do? I heard you've been working the night shift for a week."

"Which rice sausage exposed all my privacy! What else can I do? I can't go and catch that fox demon."

Yin Xiu scratched his head and glanced at the moldy ceiling again. This small room, which only accommodated a bed and a wardrobe, could be seen at a glance. Even one more person would be too crowded.

But the rent in this place is really cheap. If you can no longer live here, with Yin Xiu's income, he will probably live on the street soon.

Ahua blinked her eyes, "How about you go ask Uncle Ming? Even if it doesn't work, ask him for a talisman or something."

"That's a way." Yin Xiu nodded, "But I heard that Uncle Ming has been missing for several days, and many people are looking for him."

This is the news that Yin Xiu heard at the roadside breakfast stall in the morning.

"Go and find out. You can't just sit back and wait for the fox demon to come to your door, right?"

Yin Xiu was about to reply, but Ahua suddenly leaned into Yin Xiu's arms and hugged him tightly.

The warm jade-like body and the faint scent of flowers made Yin Xiu's heart throb and feel a little bitter.

It's a pity that you don't have enough scale, little sister...

She regained consciousness in time and took some effort to break away from her hand. Yin Xiu pretended not to see Ahua's resentful eyes, walked to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and lowered her head to rummage inside.

Ahua tilted her head and said, "Brother Xiu, what are you looking for?"

"Gloves." Yin Xiu didn't look back. "Didn't you always wear the gloves I gave you when you rolled tobacco leaves? The factory sends out two or three pairs of those things every month, and you can't even use them all. By the way, what are you doing today? No longer wearing it? Lost it?"

Ahua didn't seem to have recovered from the frustration just now. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "Oh, I was in a hurry today and forgot about it. I will definitely wear it next time. What should I do if Brother Xiu gave me something?" Are you willing to throw it away?"

"It doesn't matter if you lose it, I still have plenty here."

Yin Xiu put a few things on the table as he spoke, and stretched out a hand to greet Ahua, "Come on, let's try to see if this pair of hands fits."

Ah Hua seemed reluctant. She obviously wanted to do something else rather than find a glove.

After Yin Xiu called again, she slowly stood up and walked over.

As she walked, her voice became sweeter and more charming than before, "Brother Xiu, why don't we stop looking for it. I liked the feeling of you hugging me just now. Can you..."

"Okay." Yin Xiu's head was still buried in the drawer.

When Ah Hua heard this, she suddenly laughed sweetly, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you said yes? How annoying!"

Then she happily opened her hands and hugged Yin Xiu.

At this moment, Yin Xiu turned around, with a jar of unknown liquid in her hand, and poured it on her body.

As the green smoke rose, a sound of howling wild animals made Yin Xiu's ears hurt.

"I can tell at a glance that you are not Ahua!"
