Chapter 805 Snake Demon
The next second, the wooden door collapsed as expected, and a burst of dust rose. Su Hao couldn't help but cough violently, and quickly frowned and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and then quickly walked into the old house.
The house is not large in size and the space inside is very small. It used to be an ordinary house, and no one cares about it after moving away. Su Hao quickly walked around the house. When he walked to the backyard, he found that there was a dry well there. There was a spider web around the dry well, and a heavy stone was blocked at the wellhead. She stopped in front of the dry well, thinking about it.
Meng's breath is the most intense here, and she can be very sure that the fragments of memory are in this dry well.
Su Hao held his breath and turned his spiritual power, gathered it in the palm of his hands, and then suddenly, his palms hit the big stone with his palms, and the stone suddenly cracked into several petals and scattered aside.
Then she supported her hands on the edge of the dry well and jumped down without hesitation the next second. The well was not deep, and Su Hao hit the ground in a second or two. The bottom of the well was covered with weeds and wet moss. She squatted down and searched carefully, and saw a small thing flashing with a faint blue light in a corner of the well.
That's a memory fragment!
The fragment was crystal clear and felt cool and smooth when held in the hand. At first glance, it looked like an irregular stone. There was a faint blue light on the surface of the fragments, which was the demonic power left on it.
Su Hao took out a small treasure bag from her body, put the memory fragments in and put them in, and then carefully packed them up. After doing all this, she stood up, activated her mana, and gently tapped her toes, and easily jumped out of the dry well.
After finding the first memory fragment without any effort, Su Hao was in a good mood. However... it was useless to just find the memory fragment. He had to find the master of this memory, and then return the object to the original owner before the task was completed.
But how can we find the owner of memory? The streets are full of people. Although she has profound magical power, she cannot tell who has lost a memory at a glance... Forget it, wait until she returns to the inn before thinking about a solution.
Su Hao came out of that old house, walked back to the bustling main street, and got rid of the quiet and infatuated alleys and houses just now, and she felt like she was coming back to life. She didn't like the quiet and unpopular environment.
As she walked, she suddenly saw a vicious person gathering not far ahead. There was a notice list. People wanted to discuss something, and it looked very lively. Su Hao was curious, so she walked up to find out.
She walked to the notice list, pushed away one onlookers after another, and when she walked up to her, she saw a very eye-catching reward notice posted on it. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully at the contents on the notice:
Recently, there were monsters in the prefecture, which made the palace uneasy and panic. Therefore, this notice was posted and a large reward was offered to find a capable man and a stranger to catch monsters and eliminate evil spirits. If the evil monsters in the prefecture can be eliminated, there will definitely be a reward! Those who are interested can go to the prefect to recommend themselves.
"Oh, is this posted by the prefect, Mr. Ling?" said the melon-eating crowd.
"That's right, I saw the servants in their mansion come out to post this notice with my own eyes. I haven't walked far before my feet." The crowd of people who were eating melons agreed.
"Is there really a monster in the prefect who is doing it?" C, the melon-eating crowd, asked with disbelief.
"Yes! I heard strange noises coming from the room every night, and then the next day, the furniture was moved one after another, and the poultry that was originally well-raised was tragic across the gate. Mr. Ling and Miss Ling woke up and felt inexplicable.
The wonderful bruises and wounds are so scary!" The melon-eating crowd B deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
Su Hao listened to the discussions of the onlookers for a while, and then he had a general idea about this matter.
It turned out that recently, the famous prefects in the city, Mr. Ling and Miss Ling were entangled by monsters. The family was uneasy every day. The people in the mansion were panicked and could not bear it anymore. So they posted a notice like an emergency and went to the hospital to seek medical treatment. They paid a lot of money to find talented people and strangers, hoping to get rid of monsters at home.
Su Hao's eyes rolled, thinking that her original body was a wizard, who specialized in catching monsters and eliminating evil, and had always hated evil and acted on behalf of heaven. Now the monsters were doing evil in front of her. If the original body owner was definitely not sitting there, she planned to go to the prefect to recommend herself, hoping to help the prefect remove the monsters and restore peace to them.
Thinking of this, Su Hao heard indirectly and found out the location of the prefect at the place where the prefect was, so he set out to go.
After passing through several streets, I walked to a magnificent mansion. The two stone lions in front of the door were extremely majestic, with red painted wooden doors, and there were servants guarding them in front of the door. When I looked up again, I saw that the plaque on the door was brightly written with the words "Ling Mansion", which seemed to be here. As soon as Su Hao walked forward and approached the gate, two servants guarding the door came up to stop and looked at her.
"Who is there an invitation?" a servant asked seriously.
"I am a wizard, specializing in catching monsters and eliminating evil spirits. When I saw the notices you posted on the street, I guess there must be some monsters in the mansion, so I hope I can come to help you eliminate monsters." Su Hao said righteously.
When the servant heard Su Hao say she was coming to get rid of the demons, he looked at the young and beautiful girl carefully and found that she was of extraordinary temperament and looked very decent. She had a sense of spiritual energy all over her body, and she felt that she didn't look like a liar in the world, so she quickly invited her into the mansion.
The old housekeeper in charge of the mansion received the report from the servant and soon came out to greet her, leading her to the hall where she usually receives guests and sat down.
"The immortal master is calm and don't be impatient. Let's sit down and drink a little hot tea first. The master will come soon." The old butler said with a smile, with a warm attitude and a sincere tone.
Then he raised his eyes and signaled to the maid standing beside him. The maid immediately walked up and respectfully brewed a cup of tea for Su Hao. Su Hao took the tea cup and took a sip. Although she didn't know tea, she could still drink it. The tea was so fragrant that it must be a precious good tea. The Ling Mansion is indeed a big family and a rich atmosphere is exuding from the mansion.
Su Hao sat quietly in the hall for a while, and suddenly heard footsteps slowly approaching. Before he saw anyone, he heard a burst of hearty laughter first, and then said loudly: "The immortal master traveled thousands of miles to eliminate demons. Ling is really grateful!"
Then, a slightly fat and kind-hearted old man walked into the hall surrounded by a large group of servants and slowly walked towards her.
The visitor was the prefect, Mr. Ling. He was wearing a gorgeous dress made of satin fabric, with a jade ring on his thumb and hand, and was full of nobleness. It could be seen that he was a pampered master. Unfortunately, there was a faint blue color under his eyes, and his voice was dark, and his complexion was not very good recently.
Su Hao stood up and saluted Master Ling, and said respectfully: "Su Hao is a wizard, who specializes in catching monsters and eliminating evil spirits. He traveled here. I heard that Ling's mansion is not peaceful today, so I came to help."
Mr. Ling quickly stepped forward and helped Su Hao, signaled her to sit down, and then he sat on the main seat.
"Ling believes that Master Su is of extraordinary temperament and fairy spirit, and must be a young man.
A capable and highly magical immortal master is really lucky to meet Mr. Su.” Mr. Ling said happily, then seemed to think of something and sighed deeply.
He took a sip of hot tea and continued to say later: "The immortal master didn't know that there were monsters in the mansion recently, and strange things were causing trouble. First, the furniture in the house was always displaced for no reason, and then the livestock raised died at the door. The death was extremely terrible. After a while, it became worse. Every time Ling and his daughter woke up, they always had bruises and wounds on their bodies, but they didn't know when they were added. And..."
Speaking of this, he deliberately lowered his voice and waved his hand to signal all the servants in the hall to retreat. He continued to speak after he was dismissed.
"Yesterday, the housekeeper and a servant appeared behind the rockery in the back garden. The snake skin was very huge and as big as the trunk of a century-old banyan tree, it looked like it was not a common snake."
Mr. Ling suddenly looked frightened and even his voice trembled: "Ling suspected that the snake demon is in the mansion!"
He seemed to think of some terrible scenes, and his forehead was filled with cold sweat. He trembled and pulled out the towel from his arms and kept wiping the cold sweat on his head, his face pale.
Yesterday, after the old housekeeper came to report this to him, although he felt scared, he went to the back garden to check the situation in person.
When he really saw the huge snake skin, he was so scared that he was scattered. He saw that the snake skin was one meter long and two feet wide. Such a large snake skin showed how scary the monster was. When he thought of such a scary monster hidden in his home, he couldn't sleep or eat day and night.
Because of fear of disturbing people's hearts and causing unnecessary fear, Mr. Ling did not tell the story of the strange snake skin, and even ordered the people who had the snake skin to not make a statement. He just ordered them to post a reward notice the next day, hoping that someone could appear and rescue them from Ling's house in dire straits.
Su Hao was also shocked when he heard Mr. Ling's words. If the snake skin was as big as a trunk of a hundred-year-old banyan tree, it must be a snake demon who had been practicing for many years. His cultivation level was probably quite good, which was very difficult. Su Hao suddenly felt a headache.
However, since she has arrived at Ling Mansion and promised to eliminate demons for Ling Mansion, Su Haotang is a mage, so there is no reason to retreat. It is imperative that she captures the snake demon and restores peace to the Ling Mansion!
She reviewed what Mr. Ling had just said, analyzed it carefully in her heart, and thought for a moment that she felt that she had mastered something.
Su Hao pondered for a while and said, "I heard what Mr. Ling described just now. This snake demon always seems to be choosing when the night is late at night. After everyone is asleep in the middle of the night, it is a good time to start. From this, it can be seen that if you want to lead the snake demon to appear, it seems that you have to wait until the night."
It was only the You hour, which was around 17:00 to 19:00 in the evening. The sun had just set and the sky was slightly darker than at dusk. It was not a good time to catch monsters.
Su Hao and Mr. Ling discussed it carefully and made a plan to attract the snake demon out in the middle of the night tonight, and then capture the demon on the spot. Mr. Ling asked the housekeeper to arrange a good guest room for her and stayed in tonight. Because no one could tell when the snake demon appeared, so they could only wait.
After arranging the room for Su Hao, Mr. Ling originally wanted to entertain Su Hao and have some good hospitality, but Su Hao refused. There are still many advance work to prepare for the snake monster. In order to get this demon, she really cannot relax, so Su Hao ordered his servants to deliver the food to her room.
