Chapter 130 Fox Demon
All the bodies were taken to the government office.

Although the county magistrate was not there, everyone thought it would be safer to leave the body in the county government office.

At this time, several families were in mourning. Tian Buli walked through the crying front yard and entered the quiet morgue.

There were long tables quietly placed in the room, and on each table there was a corpse covered with a white cloth. The white cloth was pressed on the corpse and had already turned red.

"You don't have to follow me, just stand at the door, I can take a look myself."

Seeing that the others didn't want to come in, Tian Buli asked them to stay at the door.

Everyone was very obedient at this time and stood quietly at the door where the sun was shining.

Tian Buli lifted the white cloth one by one and looked at the bodies. Every corpse was covered in blood. Anyway, he was in no mood to eat tonight.

Each corpse was cut from the hip with a three-centimeter-long sharp weapon, and then skinned like a chicken or a dog.

Judging from the flatness of the wound, less than half of the claw was inserted, which was the sharpest part.

Tian Buli deduced the approximate size of the fox demon from the length of its claws, and judged whether it was human or beast, and how strong it was.

This fox demon must be good at hiding and tracking. It was able to chase all the way from the north to the place where the furs were sold, and waited until the fur travelers left but not far before killing them. What's even more vicious is that it left some of them alive and deliberately let people see it.

Whether in terms of wisdom or the fearlessness of death, they are much stronger than ordinary monsters and demons.

Tian Buli didn't want to provoke this kind of monster, so it would be better to hand over monsters of this level to the government.

I don't know any Taoist methods to exorcise demons, so why would I get involved in such things?

However, I am also afraid that the demon with a strong desire for revenge and no fear of death will cause trouble for me, so I still have to take precautions.

Tian Buli didn't want to cause trouble, but he deduced the monster's magic and abilities through the situations of more than 20 victims.

First: It acted quickly. The only people who actually witnessed it were the Liu family and the Kang family. It should be that these two wealthy families were the main ones who committed the crimes one after another.

Second: He knows some magic. Considering that he was able to sneak here from the north with a group of people and entered the Kang and Liu families, he must know the art of transformation.

Third: He took a lot of fox fur clothes with him when he escaped, so it’s not difficult to find him by following the trail.

Fourth: His Taoism level may not be very high, but his martial arts skills are not weak, and he is the kind of monster that can fight.

While I was thinking about how to guard against this monster, I heard shouting outside.

Soon Xia Bayuan walked quickly to the door, and Tian Buli covered himself with a white cloth and walked out.

"What happened?"

Xia Bayuan said quickly, "Something happened in Cao County too. It was said that a monster escaped from Zouma Village. The monster set fires everywhere and disappeared."

Tian Buli frowned, "Is everything alright in the city?"

Xia Bayuan shook his head. "I don't know, but it should be fine. It is said that the Cao family in the county often encountered monsters when traveling around the country. Later, they prayed for a treasure to protect their home, and nothing has happened in the past few years."

Tian Buli suddenly thought of the Bagua mirror hanging above the gate of Guanjiazhuang. It is said that the thing also has the effect of suppressing evil spirits.

As a Taoist priest, I am not well prepared, which is really wrong.

I'll go and ask for some treasure when I come back.

"In that case, we just need to wait for someone from the capital to come. The fox demon has already killed everyone who bought fox fur. No matter what, those fur sellers will get into a lot of trouble, which is exactly what it wants."

"It should have gone to Qitian Mansion to see those people being arrested. Everyone go back and deal with your family affairs. After the people from the city come and see that everything is alright, let the elders rest in peace."

Tian Buli spoke, and everyone in the yard quickly responded.

No matter what happens, people want it to be over as quickly as possible.

Regardless of hatred or grievance, most people just want peace and stability.

Kang Biyong was filled with anger and bowed deeply to Tian Buli.

"I will definitely catch that demon fox and skin it alive! Brother Tian, ​​help me!!"

Tian Buli looked at this filial son and felt that this was indeed what he should do as a son.

But it is only his own business. The Kang family just wants stability now.

It is natural to avenge his father. Many people are reluctant to persuade him to let it go, but it is impossible to expect those frightened servants to fight the monster.

"I have only been practicing Taoism for more than a year. The demon fox has already gone somewhere else, and I have no way to track it. I really can't help you catch it."

"Since you are a scholar, you should study hard and pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. Then you can apply to be an official in the northern province. No matter those fur traders, fox breeders, or fox spirits and ghosts, you can deal with them however you want without asking anyone for help."

When the relatives of the Kang family heard what Tian Buli said, they also advised: "Yes, my dear nephew, your father's greatest wish is to see you pass the imperial examination. Don't let this matter go to your head. Passing the exam and bringing honor to your family is the greatest reward for your father and mother!"

Tian Buli said: "The Kang family is in great trouble now, and County Magistrate Gou probably can't solve too many problems. From now on, the Kang family will have to rely on themselves for everything. Since you are the most promising person in the Kang family, you must not be rash in this matter." Kang Biyong, who wanted to settle accounts with the fox demon the most, was persuaded by a group of people and temporarily busy himself with the burial of his parents.

Tian Buli went back very quickly. Now every family was taking care of their own business and their women were all noble ladies wearing fur clothes. Tian Buli was worried about this matter.

Fortunately, my home is outside the city, so those fur buyers don’t sell furs to my house.

Tian Buli returned home quickly, being careful of possible sneak attacks on the way.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter any danger. As soon as I got home, I saw several carriages parked on the road.

The dog that had not been seen for a long time was playing with the puppies at the entrance of the village. In the past year, every household in the village has harvested a lot of grain, and they have also raised a lot of pigs and dogs by growing crops and vegetables.

In addition, there were quite a few bones left over from the meat and wine he had been entertaining some heroes from the martial arts world a while ago.

With food available, the dogs in the village started giving birth.

"Second father!"

The dog came over happily to say hello.

When Tian Buli saw Gou'er, he knew that Mr. Hu had also returned, and he said with a smile, "Gou'er, did you come back with your father?"

"Yes, there are also my aunt and a few people." Gou'er walked up to Tian Buli and whispered, "When my father came back today, he met a beautiful injured woman, who is prettier than my mother! Now she lives in my house, and my mother looks very unhappy."

Tian Buli frowned instantly, but said, "Your mother is rarely happy. What does that woman look like and where does she live?"

Gou'er said shyly, "I don't know. She told my dad that. I secretly watched her in the car. Anyway, she was very beautiful, prettier than my mother and aunt."

Tian Buli said quickly: "I just came back. I'm going to go home first and then go to your house later. You can play outside."

"Okay!" The dog quickly caught the two puppies that had run away and continued to torment them.

Tian Buli went home quickly.

The guards at the door and the maids in the mansion greeted them one after another, but Tian Buli walked quickly to the backyard.

Several rabbits disappeared.

Tian Buli became more and more alert and quickly went into the house to take out the bracelet.

At this time, a square brick in the room was propped up, and a pair of red eyes were staring outside in the darkness.

"Owner……"

Tian Buli quickly looked at the square bricks on the floor of the bedroom, and saw Bai Tu holding the brick lid in both hands and looking at this side.

Tian Buli quickly went over and squatted down to help lift the stone slab and put it aside.

"What's going on? Where are the other rabbits?"

Tian Buli looked down and soon saw a big rabbit and three little rabbits.

Even the bunny girl turned into a rabbit and hid under the tunnel.

The bunny whispered, "Master, at night, we sensed something was wrong and hid inside, waiting for you to come back."

The little white rabbit looked towards the door nervously and fearfully. "Mom said there was an evil spirit. We didn't dare to eat and quickly came down to hide."

Tian Buli quickly looked at his own fortune, which had not decreased at this time.

But if this kind of thing is not handled properly, it will be troublesome.

"You guys go have dinner with Bai Lian, and don't tell anyone about the monster. I'll go next door and take a look."

When the five rabbits saw Tian Bulili coming back, they crawled out of their holes one after another.

The little white rabbit and the little yellow rabbit worked together to lift the stone slab and covered it. Then they stepped on it together to hide the gap.

After everything was done, the little white rabbit said to Tian Buli, "Master, be careful. We are going to eat first."

Eating is one way to overcome inner fear.

"Go." Tian Buli prepared protective gear and weapons and magic weapons.

Although they are all useless things, at least it is much better than not preparing anything.

The two houses were separated by only a wall, and Tian Buli went directly through the side gate to the Hu family.

The Hu family didn't have a dog. Perhaps they were worried that Tian Buli would be disturbed by the dog when he came over at night, so they never had a dog.

The Tian family’s dog had been killed or eaten long ago, otherwise one could have judged something from the dog’s attitude.
