The three of them returned to the city.

The master and apprentice, father and son, rented in the backyard of a large house in the city. The landlords were an elderly couple.

The front yard of this house was converted into a tea shop by the landlord, selling tea and food. The middle and back yards were rented out, and the couple lived off the tea shop and rent.

"You're back?" The landlady greeted the three of them enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?"

"You can watch it. I've been running all day and I'm hungry." Tang Ying said politely.

"Okay, I bought a cellar of good wine today, want to try it?"

Han Xiong smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Okay, you guys sit down first and I'll serve the food."

The landlady walked away, and Tang Ying quickly set the bowls for her father and senior brother.

Han Xiong poured tea for the three of them and said: "Master, these 60-year-old little demons are nothing. Only by catching the five- or six-hundred-year-old big demons can we revive the sect."

Tang Manzhi also knew: "I don't want to catch a big demon, but we may not be a match for this kind of big demon because of its powerful magic. Secondly, most of these big monsters live in seclusion, and we have no place to find them if we want to catch them."

The three of them were talking when noisy voices came from outside the door.

Tang Ying ran out to take a look and saw that the street was full of people and laughing.

It turned out that the city lord Peng Zhen had won another battle and led his troops in triumph.

Peng Zhen and his only daughter Peng Li rode a tall horse and walked at the front of the team.

The people in the city lined the streets to welcome them. The two men were dressed in military uniforms and looked very majestic.

Tang Ying looked at the Peng family and his daughter on the horse, her eyes filled with envy. She trotted back and said to her father and senior brother: "City Lord Peng has won another battle and is parading through the streets now!"

Peng Zhen is the city lord here and the leader of the Monster Hunter Alliance, but Han Xiong doesn't like what Peng Zhen does: "As the leader, I don't want to catch monsters and do justice for heaven, and hang out with mortals all day long."

With that said, the old landlady brought the food and said while setting the table: "In this peaceful world, there are no monsters doing evil. The last time I saw the monster catcher go out of the city to subdue monsters, I was still just a baby."

Han Xiong obviously disagreed with the landlady's statement and said: "Monsters are hidden deep now. If you look at the kind-hearted old neighbor on the street, you might be a monster."

"You're a kid who scares people. I think life is pretty good now. I have food to eat and work to do. It doesn't matter if he's a human or a monster. If he comes to my little shop, he won't have to eat my food. You guys are slow

Yes, I went over to say hello."

After the three of them had eaten, they went back to the backyard to rest.

At night, a large jade plate hangs in the sky.

Tang Manzhi was sitting quietly in the house with his eyes closed, Han Xiong was practicing in the courtyard, and Tang Ying was already fast asleep.

As soon as midnight passed, rapid gongs and drums sounded in the city!

"It's dead! It's dead!"

The three of them immediately stood up and rushed out of the door.

The three of them used Qing Kung Fu, climbed to the roof, and looked towards the street.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Tang Ying asked.

Tang Manzhi felt a lump of energy gathering in his chest and said, "Something big has happened. Let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"City Lord's Mansion!"

The three of them left under the moonlight.

After the three people left, the old landlord and his wife also came out of the room. The two elders looked at the moon, and the old man murmured:

"The world is going to be in chaos again."

The old woman sighed: "I have finally lived a stable life for a few years, and I don't know when this trouble will end."

The two elders were lost in thought in the courtyard for a long time, then turned and left.

The moonlight shines on the backs of the two elders, showing the tortoise patterns of vicissitudes of life.

If Tang Manzhi was here, he would definitely know that this kind of pattern usually only appears on the bodies of thousand-year-old turtle spirits.

The three of them came to the gate of the city lord's mansion and reported their homes to the guards:

"Tang Manzhi, the twenty-seventh generation leader of the Tianxing Sect, came with his disciples to pay a visit to Leader Peng."

After a while, the three people were invited into the house.

Many people have gathered in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Peng Zhen looked at Tang Manzhi and the others and asked, "Are you from the Tianxing Sect?"

"yes."

"Who are you, Li Tiande?"

"It's my great-uncle. Before his death, my great-uncle passed down the position of head to me."

There was a demon catcher in the field who said angrily: "Tianxing Sect? After brothers Li Tiande and Li Tianshou, are there any decent talents? You can't handle tonight's matter."

Han Xiong was displeased: "What did you say!" He drew his sword and prepared to strike.

Peng Zhen clapped his hands and said angrily: "Okay, what time has it been and you are still making noise here."

"Leader, we're here." The servant reported.

"Bring it in."

A group of soldiers came in carrying three stretchers, and Peng Zhen opened the white cloth and looked at them one by one.

All three of them are men in their prime, described as thin and pale, with no wounds on their bodies.

"What the great demon did," a demon catcher could tell at a glance, "Only a great demon that has been around for at least five hundred years has such power. It can suck all the essence and blood from the whole body and die without any pain."

"Wouldn't it be a mortal who poisoned it?"

"Impossible, mortals don't have such means." Peng Zhen didn't want to believe that it was monsters causing trouble, but the way the three died was too strange.

"The three of them are all boys. I suspect it was the fox demon who did it."

Everyone discussed in the city lord's mansion all night, and finally agreed that tonight's murder was indeed caused by the fox demon causing trouble.

As the leader of the Monster Catcher Alliance, Peng Zhen immediately ordered the Monster Catcher to take action immediately and search for fox monsters throughout the city:

"Don't hurt your life. Catch the suspicious monster and bring it back for interrogation."

The demon-catchers took the order and dispersed throughout the night, using their skills to hunt the whole city.

"Is this a real shot?" Some viewers were confused about the picture on the screen.

Han Yan used extremely gorgeous lighting in the midnight search scene, mainly black, with the addition of moonlight and the dim lights of the city. The whole atmosphere was deserted and solemn, which immediately lifted the audience's emotions.

"Except for the moon, everything else should be real shots."

"In just ten minutes, Han Yan's scheduling and use of lighting came out immediately." Professional film critics liked this scene very much, "Slow first and then fast, the rhythm is very good."

Cheng Yu'an nodded while watching in the audience. Han Yan filmed this midnight chase scene for nearly a month. The main problem was the lighting. All kinds of light sources were tried.

Don't think that black means black, just turn off the lights. For the scene in the council hall of the city lord's palace, five layers of light were used on the scene. For the outdoor pursuit scene, Han Yan also used three layers of light to achieve the current sense of hierarchy.

"When will the heroine appear?" Many viewers came to see Tong Liya.

"I don't know, it's probably still early."

On the screen, the demon hunters worked all night and found nothing.

Tang Manzhi and Tang Ying returned home exhausted, while Han Xiong didn't come back until around noon.

Although he gained nothing, he was not tired at all and enjoyed the excitement of chasing monsters.

The three of them had a good rest, and Tang Ying went to the street alone in the afternoon to do shopping for her father and senior brother.

When I was buying shoes at a roadside shoe stall, the street was noisy with people.

"Look at those two girls, they are so beautiful."

"I think it's more beautiful than the city lord's daughter."

"Girl, this is the new rouge from our store, let's take a look."

"Girl, this is fine silk. It will look good on you."

After hearing this, Tang Ying turned around and saw two fairy-like women walking towards her.

It is the heroine Tong Liya and the third female lead Yang Ying.

One thing to say is that Yang Ying's costume is very ordinary. When he is with Tong Liya, he doesn't need to dress up in any special way. He really looks like her little follower.

Bai Ling also noticed this silly boy on the street who looked stupid.

When passing by a shoe stall, I glanced at Tang Ying, smiled, and walked over.

After Tang Ying returned to the tea shop after buying shoes, she happened to see the two girls drinking tea in the tea shop.

He glanced at Bai Ling a few more times.

Bai Ling seemed to recognize her and nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Tang Ying was so ashamed that she jogged into the backyard.

"Sister, look at that silly boy just now, he was so fascinated by you that he couldn't even stand it anymore."

"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Ling said with a smile.

The old landlady brought a pot of tea over and shouted softly: "My aunt, why are you here? The city is in chaos now, and monsters are being hunted everywhere. If you come here at this time, you will risk your life."

"That boy just now is the demon hunter of his family. If you come to my place, you are throwing yourself into a trap. Hurry up and leave."

"Grandma, why are you not afraid of renting a house for them?" Bai Ling said.
