The two ends of the Qiongqiong Earth Meridian were connected to the sea of clouds, and it was unclear just where they were headed and where they were located. In the middle, there was a long, colorful ribbon that gently fell from the middle of the Three Realms, forming a mountain slope. It was called the Precious Jade Mountain, also known as the Ting-Yue Sea, and it attracted the attention of all the other mountains. It was as if countless beauties were gathered there, like a cluster of beautiful flowers, supporting one's eyes and captivating one's soul. This mountain was extraordinary. Princess Yaochi had occasionally taken a nap in the air, praising, ”Stones should not be seen to be towering, nor should they have the heroic grandeur of a warrior, but they should have the elegance of a swan; abyssal waters should not be seen far, nor should they have the charm of a seductress, but they are all the little jasper's trickle; the foliage would be spotted with countless fine jades, and it would be an amazing work of art; flowers would be scattered in all seven colors, and many of them would be adorned with the mysteries of heaven and earth.”

Since it did not belong to the Celestial Garden, it was obstructed by no taboos. As long as there was a mortal, mortal, or mortal visitor, as long as they had a poem or a song or dance, they could roam and cultivate in BaoQiong and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rivers and rivers. Amongst the countless peaks of the Tender Maiden Sea, there was one that was the most eye-catching. It was the one with the red colors and the red mist drifting in and out of the Reflecting Valley. This so-called waterfall had a lot to do with carrying around. In fact, it was soft, long, and beautiful. It was just a few small streams flowing down to the foot of the mountain and thinking of the river. In the ancestral hall, a stone statue was erected. With one hand holding a map, the other holding a chisel, the statue looked eager to try, as if it were carved by a craftsman. The book said, ”It is a pity that Lu Ban's craftsmanship is good, but he did not recognize his disciple.” Strange to say, it was said that the ancestral hall was old, and was once again embellished by incense, but the windows and walls, tables and chairs of the shrine were always bright and new. As for the reason, there was a legend in the village of Luo, ”Every full moon, Mount Tai will bring along all sorts of tools and objects to display their power. When he saw which part was broken, he would carefully mend it; when he saw which part was old, he would seriously replace it. ”In this way, this small temple will naturally remain forever.

This story was told by someone else and was heard by the five of them. Huang Song was curious. He put down the evil bowl in his hand and walked to the door of the noodle shop. He bowed towards the white-haired old man who was sitting on the chair and said, ”Old mister, can Mt. Tai really reveal its might?” The white-haired old man spat out circles under his eyes and laughed: ”I have only heard about it from the elders in the past but have never seen such a thing.” Huang Song sighed. He said with great disappointment: ”We had a damaged bamboo boat that was difficult to repair, so we thought …” He was interrupted by the old man: ”Is it possible that you are looking for the Divine Craftsman Mt. Tai to bring back spring?” After a moment's thought, his brow unconsciously furrowed as he murmured, ”You are foreigners, and I thought you wouldn't be attacked by that foul thing. Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the full moon's night to climb the Drunken Crow Peak and pay a visit to the temple of Mt. Tai?” Seeing everyone was shocked, he suddenly woke up from his stupor. He patted his head and smiled: ”I can't say, I can't say. Trouble will come out of my mouth, don't make that dirty old man stare at me.” I'm seventy-six this year, so I should be quiet, don't meddle in other people's business, and live in the prime of my life. ” After inserting the pipe pole into the back of his neck, he placed the small stool at his waist and left in a swagger. After passing by the Soup Dumplings restaurant in front of them, he disappeared without a trace.

Qi Tian was rather displeased and retorted, ”Why did he only say half of what he wanted to say, and stop there? It makes people not feel suspicious, but if they do not get the main point of the suspicion, they will be extremely annoyed, and the doubt in their hearts cannot be let out, so how can they be safe and sound? ” The shop assistant served the soup and said, ”He doesn't dare to say it, so there is naturally a reason why he doesn't dare to say it. Why should Miss worry?” The craftsmanship of our town is also famous, how can we not fix it? In my opinion, it would be better if Yue Ye didn't take the risk, and simply spend more silver to look for the masters of the third and fourth tier, and ask them to prepare good firewood, and wholeheartedly repair it. ” Yang Qi smiled and said: ”What this big brother says makes sense. Please guide us to a quiet inn so that we can rest after eating.” He thought to himself, ”You don't know the whole story. Even though you have good intentions, you are unable to help.”

It turned out that yesterday, when the guzheng boat reached the hill, it was suddenly attacked by a fire dragon. At first, everyone was shocked, thinking that it was the Dragon King of the Eight Tribes, Arhat, who had forsaken Carrolo, who had broken his promise and quietly snuck back to seek revenge. After carefully sizing up the group, he discovered that the Fire Dragon's genre style was much thinner than before, and was about the same size as Ao Ji. When he was patrolling outside the palace, he had secretly heard that the silk spiders had revealed the secret. Thus, he gnashed his teeth and, taking advantage of the unprepared situation of the army in the sea, he escaped to wash away his shame. The two sides were having an awkward conversation. They steeled their hearts and engaged in a fierce battle. Soon, they ended up fighting in the same area, and the two sides were unable to determine who was the winner of the battle. Hu Meiniang was crafty and intentionally spoke to provoke the Fire Dragon in the middle of the battle, causing it to lose its focus. A moment of carelessness and it fell to the ground heavily injured by Yang Qi's Small Dagger. Qi Tian followed up on his victory with countless Demon-Breaking Arrows raining down from the sky, gradually breaking through the fire dragon's zhen qi layer and deeply injuring the pure Yang Qi. Helplessly, since he could not resist anymore, he had to flee and go back to the South Sea to recuperate. However, this battle was rather dangerous and the five people of Yang Qi's group did not gain the slightest advantage. That zither boat had been completely smashed apart and was on the verge of collapse, on the verge of collapse. ”Unable to do anything else, the group had no choice but to dock close to the mountain and wander around until they arrived at the small village at the foot of Baojong Mountain.

The shop assistant said loudly, ”If everyone is impeccable, you can go to the Zhu Family's old building. This building is very old, and any guest can stay here, receive nothing, and not a single cent. It's just that there are a lot of fleas and stinky bugs here, how can you all sleep peacefully? If he wanted to stay here cheaply and comfortably, the Rising Sun Inn would be a good place. However, the shopkeeper had been extremely troubled recently, and his wife was also extremely sad. She sobbed continuously all day, afraid that the reception wouldn't be perfect. This place is different, it is like a jade pavilion, extremely grand and magnificent. Furthermore, there is also a powerful cultivator's talisman to sprinkle water, covering the entire area, even if one were to covet it, they would not be able to break in and cause harm. ” Hu Meiniang smiled sweetly and said softly, ”Although Second Brother's words are a bit nagging, he is also very detailed. I wonder what that turbid object is referring to. It must have a name, right? ” The shop assistant's expression suddenly changed and he shook his head: ”Maybe, maybe, maybe, he has lived for seventy or eighty summers of cold and heat, but he still values his life and is careful with his words. I am only twenty years old, and I am at the prime of my life, so I absolutely do not dare to offend him.” No matter how he urged it, he just didn't say it. Everyone was stunned as they paid the bill. Each of them picked up their luggage and threw it at the Rising Sun Inn. However, the shopkeeper and the madame were not to be seen. Only a middle-aged chef led a group of five or six waiters to the guest room, which was located two rooms behind the north railing.

In the middle of the night, Yang Qi woke up from his sleep and was gently nudged by Huang Song. ”Wake up, wake up,” he called. Yang Qi's eyes were covered with a layer of sleep. He put on his clothes and stepped on his shoes as he sighed, ”What are you trying to do?” He was dressed neatly. He held a candle in one hand and a wooden stick in the other. He looked quite calm. He could not help but be surprised. Huang Song was afraid that he would alert Qing Yi, so he quickly stopped her and whispered: ”There is something strange about this shop. If it is a dark shop, wouldn't it be a waste for us to enter during the third fragment of the night?” Yang Qi was greatly alarmed. Just as he was about to ask out loud, he suddenly realized something was amiss and hastily dragged him to a corner of the teahouse. He said, ”How did you see through it?” Huang Song was half proud, half worried. He carefully took out a ingot from his chest and stuffed it into his palm. He said, ”This is some money that I just casually obtained from passing through the woodshed.” When these words were spoken, it caused Yang Qi to let out a cry of shock. With a trembling voice, he said, ”Your courage is too great. How dare you steal from here?” ”What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever stolen?” Huang Song sighed. This is the evidence of a hack shop. If you don't believe it, you can take a look at this gold ingot.

Yang Qi calmed himself down and pondered for a moment. Then, he asked, ”Strange? Why is this golden plate so light and nimble, as if it had nothing to offer?” Huang Song took it and rubbed his fingers together, making it into a ball of foil. He said: ”This is not some steward's gold; it's clearly just a paper ingot to pay respects to the dead. It's because I saw something strange that I quietly came over and carefully studied it. ” Yang Qi said, ”So what if it is a paper ingot?” Huang Song laughed: ”When I was in Iron Chicken Town, I used to ride a horse and prepare a carriage to carry Old Master Qin to various places to gather goods and negotiate trade. I have been on the road to the martial arts world for a long time, so I have some experience. The black shop was divided into three rough categories. The first was to drink and drink the medicine, or blow the weird smoke into the room. While the customer was unconscious, one would plunder the money and create the illusion that a thief had entered the house. When the customer woke up, he was naturally wailing loudly and in pain. However, other than reporting the case, there was nothing else he could do. Even if the Shangguan Family sent for him, if he accepted his offer, the one hundred taels of silver would only be enough to compensate him by ten taels. There were still ninety left. The two of them could either use medicine or simply use sabers and axes to cross paths. After killing the guests and obtaining the goods, they could then go to the backyard or the pond and dispose of the corpses. Everything would be done. The three were even more greedy. After obtaining their lives and wealth, they still felt that they were insufficient. They had even crushed the victim's limbs into meat stuffing and turned them into steamed buns and vegetables for sale. However, since there were ghosts and gods in the world, how could they hide from the eyes of good and evil? They did evil deeds that harm the heavens and the earth, and their hearts were still anxious and fearful. They were even more worried that the ghosts would not dissipate, and instead turn into evil ghosts to harm themselves. Yang Qi thought to himself, ”He's just lying to himself.” With a flash of inspiration, he asked in astonishment, ”Could it be that this Rising Sun Inn is the third type of underworld shop?” Huang Song sighed: ”The morning sun, the morning sun, once you sleep, you will lose your soul for some unknown reason. Where can you see the next day's daylight?

Both of them whispered to each other as they heard faint sounds of movement from outside. They couldn't help but feel nervous as they quietly listened to the sounds. One of them said in a low voice, ”Ah San, have you brought all the gold ingots?” It was the woman's voice. The other person replied, ”Yes.” The woman asked again, ”Has the knife been sharpened?” Ah San: ”Madam, you can rest assured. ”But, but …” The woman curiously asked, ”Just what?” Ah San stuttered, ”If things go wrong and we fight against it, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it with just the six of us.” Upon closer inspection, there were indeed five to six people stamping on the ground. The woman said angrily, ”If you guys are afraid of death, then just like my useless husband, just hide inside the house and bolt the door. Go back, go back, don't delay my business. ” The rest of the group said, ”Madam, what are your words? At least we have to kill him today.” They all walked past Yang Qi and Qi Tian's room, gradually distancing themselves from the scene.

Yang Qi's heart turned cold, and he thought to himself, ”Could it be that this is really a mafia store?” If it's evil, how can I stand by and do nothing? ” Huang Song, who was standing to the side, trembled and stammered: ”The person you don't want to lead is actually a fierce female bandit leader? It is said that the most poisonous woman in the world is the heart. Behind the skirt and skirt is a beauty that is ten times more vicious than a man. ” With that, he felt his arm tighten as Yang Qi grabbed hold of his wrist. Stunned, he saw Yang Qi's solemn expression and sternly said, ”Let's go as well.” Huang Song's expression suddenly changed as he said in surprise, ”Go where? ”Could it be …” Yang Qi nodded his head and said, ”That's right, wherever they go, we will follow them. We can't let them be as domineering as they wish. Now that they have rushed to the backyard, we naturally have to closely follow them and wait for the right opportunity to take action. ” Huang Song complained incessantly and said with a sigh: ”You can go, but the night is dark and the wind blows high. Why do you need me to carry an endless burden when there's murder and arson?” Yang Qi's mischievous heart rose, and he chuckled, ”I fought with them and argued, but you just happened to be there to save them. The customer is deeply grateful and has to pay you a lot of rewards. ” Huang Song said, ”This kind of reward, I don't care.” He was dragged out of the room by him. He was angry and anxious as he complained: ”Is there anyone in the world who is as strong as you?” He walked to the side of the woodshed in a few steps, seeing Yang Qi push open the bar, he looked back and smiled: ”Chivalry is the accumulation of meritorious service, and can be recorded in the Heavenly Court. I must not take all of this good fortune for myself, naturally I will drag you along with me.” He patted the wooden stick in his hand, looking rather lazy and shameless with its mischievous appearance.

Five or six people were sneakily walking in front. Yang Qi and Huang Song didn't dare to be careless, so they relied on the darkness of the flower trees in the corridor to carefully search and follow. He gradually arrived at a garden in the backyard. Under the moonlight, there was an empty space with a stone table placed on top of it. On the left side of the table, there were fruits and vegetables. On the east side, there were only small censers. Bronze cauldrons, beautiful ears, and fine engravings with lines on them. It was obvious that their craftsmanship was very exquisite. The woman walked up to the table, examined it, and coldly said, ”Can't you be moved by the countless delicacies?” When the voice rang out, it sounded like someone was washing up. Ah San was alarmed and said, ”Not good, ma'am, be careful.” He hastily pulled her away and they all bent their heads and squatted down, covering her with their sleeves. He then saw a strange wind roll up on the ground. It didn't damage the trees or the grass, but it only knocked the table over. After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, it finally stopped. Everyone looked around for a while and then stood up. They were all frightened and helpless, but the woman lightly patted her clothes and humphed, ”Okay, okay, I know you love money, so I offered this great gold ingot to you. After receiving such benefits, you should leave earlier and not continue to pester me. ” He called Ah San over to the bamboo basket that held the gold plate and urged, ”You know what the consequences will be if you offend a Infant Immortal? How can you dare delay and delay?” Yang Qi looked carefully and heard it clearly. He thought to himself, ”This gale is extremely weird, there must be some demons and ghosts causing trouble here.” That gold plate, it's not the evidence of a hoodlum. It's clearly a gift to the Demonic Ghost. ” He stole a glance at Huang Song and saw that he was blushing from embarrassment. He said in a low voice: ”If you want to shoot a horse, you might as well shoot a deer. If you go to a dark shop and see through the suspicions of the demon, it's not like you came here for nothing.”

Everyone stood there silently. Ah San trembled and asked, ”Madam, should we present the Golden Token immediately?” The woman yelled, ”Of course it's to immediately pay tribute. Why are you still asking me?” The Emissary took the opportunity to wink at him. Although it was extremely obscure and dark, the power of Yang Qi's Dragon Calamity Pearl was still there in the boundless night. At a glance, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Ah San had no choice but to fix the small incense burner on the ground and burn three incense sticks of time. He then said a few words and said, ”Infant immortals are innocent, they cannot live under the sun, and they suffer a lot in the underworld. A hundred gold coins and ten layers of ingots. I sincerely offer my blessings to you today and hope that you can enjoy some good fortune and break away from me as soon as possible. ” When he finished burning the bamboo basket, he saw a cloud of smoke from behind the table, and a monster not more than three feet long came out, laughing out loud: ”You fools from the mortal realm, I do not have such a high tolerance, I have the ability to think, why do you need to talk so much here? Put down the bell and leave quickly. Tomorrow, I will bring another pot of good wine and a table of good dishes to you. Yang Qi and Huang Song looked at each other in dismay, thinking to themselves, ”This ghost is really arrogant.”

The woman smiled and said, ”Would a Nascent Immortal want to drink? I do have that two liang bottle of Du Kang Wine here. If you don't mind, I'll bring it over to you, okay? ” The Infant Immortal was dancing with joy and continued, ”I don't mind, I don't mind. Where is the wine? ”Hurry up and let me taste it.” The woman smiled and said, ”It's in Ah San's sleeves. Due to the limited quantity, he didn't prepare any boxes.” The Infant Immortal said, ”It's fine, I'm happy. I only look at the quality of the wine. Those wine bottles and boxes are just trash.” Unable to restrain himself, he stretched his hand towards Ah San's sleeve. Ah San's face was pale as he staggered back a few steps. ”My sleeves are dirty, how could I dare to touch the Infant Immortal Hand. Don't worry, I'll take it now.” The Nascent Immortal was anxious and shouted, ”How can we not be anxious? ”If you delay any further, you will be treated as a delicious meal made from blood and drunk together with fine wine.” Ah San's face was pale and uncertain. He let out a small sigh as if he had made up his mind, and touched his sleeve with his hand. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he shouted, ”The wine is here! Everyone, do you also want to show yourselves? ” He pulled out a cold and shiny short blade and aimed at the demon ghost's throat. As fast as lightning, he stabbed towards its vitals. The woman at the side was filled with anger. She also took out a pair of sharp scissors from her sleeve and shouted, ”Evil spirit, return my son's life.” He would pounce and assassinate him without showing any mercy. The rest also brandished their weapons, whether it was a kitchen knife, a harpoon, a rolling pin, or a gourd full of water. They all surrounded him with a shout, ready to fight at any moment.
