Shen Luo nodded slightly to Granny Ma and quickened his pace to walk over.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for killing those invading monsters. I have been disrespectful to fellow Taoist in the past, and I hope you can forgive me." Granny Ma suddenly bowed to Shen Luo and said.
"Mother-in-law, there is no need to be like this. I am now a member of the longevity village, and it is natural to kill demons and protect the village." Shen Luo was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised by the change in mother-in-law Ma's attitude, and stopped. , returned the gift.
"Fellow Daoist Shen was able to break through the bottleneck of the fasting stage in just half a month. This talent is truly rare." Granny Ma said with a rare smile.
"My mother-in-law praised me. Shen Luo dare not say that she is talented." Shen Luo said respectfully.
"Grandma Ma, Brother Shen!" At this time, Yingluo's voice came from behind, and he quickly caught up, glanced at Shen Luo, and saluted to Grandma Ma, with a slightly confused expression. nervous.
"Yingluo, you don't have to worry. I'm not an old fool yet. I was just thanking Daoist Shen for saving the village." Granny Ma said calmly.
Hearing this, Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something.
"Grandma Ma, Master Yingxian, Master Chenxian!" At this moment, a voice came from the front.
The three of them looked up and saw a middle-aged woman running over quickly, with a look of anxiety on her face.
"Aunt Lan, what happened?" Yingluo hurriedly greeted her.
"It's not good, Master Yingxian, Master Shen, go quickly... Xiaoyu was caught by a monster!" The middle-aged woman said out of breath.
"Little fish!" Shen Luo suddenly raised his head.
"Where did the monster come from? Where was he caught?" Yingluo's expression changed, and when she was about to speak, Granny Ma beside her had already asked.
"At... Master Shen Xian's residence." Aunt Lan glanced at Shen Luo, hesitated for a while, and then said.
Shen Luo's eyes narrowed, and his figure immediately flew forward, with several ups and downs disappearing in front.
"Aunt Lan, take care of Granny Ma." Yingluo ordered the woman, and immediately spread her body skills and chased after Shen Luo.
Shen Luo used the Wind Chasing Step to the extreme and soon reached his small courtyard.
Ling'er was standing outside the yard at the moment, her face was pale and her body was shaking, tightly hugging a village woman in her thirties who was dressed in gray next to her.
The village woman in gray squatted down, hugged Ling'er into her arms, and kept talking to comfort her.
"Master Shen Xian!" Shen Luo suddenly appeared, startling the village woman in gray clothes. After seeing clearly, she hurriedly greeted him.
"Did you see how the little fish was caught?" Shen Luo waved his hand and asked.
"I just came here. I don't know what happened. I just heard Aunt Lan say that Xiaoyu was caught by a monster. She asked me to look after Ling'er here for a while, and then she went to the entrance of the village. "The village woman in gray clothes was in awe of Shen Luo, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, and said in a low voice.
Shen Luo nodded when he heard the words, glanced at Ling'er, and then looked into the courtyard, but did not go in rashly.
Everything in the courtyard is as usual. There are no signs of damage on the ground, doors and windows of the house, etc. It seems that nothing has happened.
"Ling'er, don't be afraid. Tell Brother Immortal Master, what's wrong with your brother Xiaoyu?" His mind turned, he walked to Ling'er, squatted down, and asked in a warm voice.
Ling'er was very scared at the moment, burying her head in the arms of the village woman in gray, not daring to raise her head at all, and did not respond to Shen Luo's questions.
Shen Luo frowned, tapped Ling'er's back and head several times with his fingers, and injected a trace of magical power into his heart.
The trembling of Ling'er's body stopped, she raised her head, a slight blush appeared on her face, and her spirit seemed much more stable.
"Linger, tell me, what did you see just now? Only if you tell me can I save your brother Xiaoyu." Shen Luo said softly.
Ling'er perked up when she heard that she was going to rescue Xiaoyu. After thinking for a while, she said: "Brother Xianshi, after you left, we hid in the house. After a while, Suddenly there was a rushing sound outside, and it got louder and louder, and then...then the surrounding suddenly became very cold..."
At this point, Ling'er's body trembled slightly again, and she used her hands to Crossed arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. What happened next?" Shen Luo gently stroked Ling'er's head and received a ray of mana again.
“I was very scared. Brother Xiaoyu asked me to hide under the bed. He said he would protect me. He went out to take a look. As soon as he left the house, he screamed in surprise and then became silent. "Ling'er perked up and continued.
"Then how did you get out?" Shen Luo asked.
"I screamed in fear, and then Aunt Lan came in and took me outside." Ling'er glanced at the open door with lingering fear and said.
"Stay outside and don't come in." After hearing this, Shen Luo stood up and said to the village woman in gray.
The village woman hurriedly agreed, taking Linger and retreating further away.
Shen Luo stepped into the yard, secretly using his magic power to guard against dangers that might arise at any time, and at the same time carefully sensing the surrounding situation, his eyes focused.
He couldn't sense it clearly outside just now. When he entered the courtyard, he immediately clearly sensed that there was a very faint evil smell and fishy smell remaining here, which was definitely not the smell of a human monk.
Shen Luo quickly searched everywhere in the courtyard and found no trace of the monster hiding. It was obvious that the monster had left long ago.
But the strange thing is that the fishy smell in the courtyard only floats inside the courtyard, and there is no trace of escaping outside the courtyard.
"Weird, did the monster disappear out of thin air after taking away the little fish?" He was puzzled.
At this moment, a sound of wind in clothes came from outside, but it was Yingluo who arrived.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, have you found anything?" She stepped into the courtyard and askedasked.
"Not yet. There is indeed a residual evil spirit here, but the monster kidnapped people and left. I don't know where it went." Shen Luo shook his head and said with a frown.
"Could it be that he flew away?" Yingluo was a little surprised and said after thinking about it for a while. .
"Probably not. The fishy smell from the monster only floats in the courtyard. If it flies away, there will definitely be traces left behind." Shen Luo shook his head.
"Fishy smell? Is it there? Why didn't I smell it?" Ying Luo wrinkled her nose, glanced around, and said a little strangely.
"Don't worry, I won't make a mistake." Shen Luo said, falling into deep thought again.
This fishy smell is very light. He has broken through the fasting stage and his five senses have improved. Otherwise, he would not be able to smell it. But where did the monster go?
Suddenly, a burst of chaotic footsteps came from outside the yard, but it was Granny Ma and Aunt Lan who arrived. There was a lot of noise behind them, and there were also many villagers who came after hearing the news.
Grandma Ma entered the yard with the support of Aunt Lan. The villagers, who had a tacit understanding, did not follow her, but gathered outside the yard.
"You two, can you find any clues about the monster?" Before Granny Ma could stand still, she panted and asked Shenluo and Yingruo.
"Grandma Ma, there are no clues yet, but don't worry, we are trying to find a solution." Yingluo took a few steps forward, held Grandma Ma's other arm, and comforted her.
"This is Aunt Lan, I guess. I heard from Ling'er that you came immediately after Xiao Yu was taken away. Did you see any trace of the monster?" Shen Luo looked at Aunt Lan, asked.
