”The phoenix chariot was driven by the Chen, and the Li was on a dry journey. Kander's warm liquid, the Mountain Bend Sect warm current. The cold was in the air and floated in the steam marsh. The shadows of the forest withered and scattered, and the clouds gathered and covered the darkness. The frost suburb has a good view, and the attendants have a good view. ” After Qingyi finished reciting, she leaned against the side of the boat and closed her eyes to meditate. Huang Song took the helm and was welcomed by the cool breeze in midair. He said with a smile, ”What kind of poem is this? It can't be written by yourself, can it?” Qingyi said, ”This is called 'Eternal Soup of the Esteemed Saints and the Saints'. It is the ultimate sentence of the Great Tang Dynasty's Li Zhen.” Yang Qi scratched his head and said, ”Are you talking about the meaning of hot springs? Listening to you read it out slowly, my body feels a little itchy. I really want to soak in it for the whole night. Huang Song nodded and said with a sigh: ”It's a pity that I have a wish. After all, I can't do as I wish.” Qing Yi smiled when she heard this, and looked around for a while, as if she was looking for something. She then said: ”Earlier, I bought a book called 'Records of Local History' from Shouzhen. It says that about fifty miles away from here, there is a hot spring of Sanmei, with clear water and the breath of heaven and earth. It can cure a hundred diseases and countless diseases.” Yang Qi was overjoyed, and said: ”If that's the case, how about we go to Sanmei?” Qingyi smiled without replying, and Huang Song said: ”Awesome, wonderful! I wonder what those two misses are thinking? ” As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qi Tian and Hu Meiniang walk out of the cabin, knitting and embroidery in their hands, and replied: ”What nonsense are you talking about? Slight smoke rippling, very happy, one to relieve fatigue, both to maintain the skin, must go. ” Everyone laughed out loud, the rudder could only turn, the sail swayed to the side, pointing in the right direction, as if soaring and dancing, adding a bit of freedom and freedom.

When they arrived at the hot spring, the officials of the Spirit Treasure County had already set up a relay station, which was specially used to receive guests who came and went in order to make up for the lack of taxes and fund the treasury. Although it was good to have such thoughts, it was a pity that they had deceived a nobody, and their reputation was not very good. Hence, in the huge clean courtyard, there were only the five of them today. The hot springs are surrounded by delicate rockery and divided into yin and yang ponds, one for the south and one for the north, not to look at each other. Yang Qi placed the towel on his shoulder and said with emotion, ”It is indeed very comfortable, tsk tsk! If I can drink a cup of top-grade Maojian tea in this Jade Warm Spring, it would be a happy event in my life. ” Huang Song and Qing Yi felt the same way as they looked at each other. They said in unison, ”Just like that beautiful moonlight, it's too bad that it's still so round and lacking. You can't do anything that you don't like.” Just as he was lamenting, an attendant came over and smiled apologetically: ”Esteemed customer, is there anything wrong with that? Even though we did not have any green tea, we still have our own brewed wine. We only need half a tael of silver, three pots of wine that are worth a lot of money and are worth a lot of money. Huang Song's eyes sparkled as he glanced at Qing Yi's tender face, flushed red by the hot spring's heat. He sighed and said, ”He's young. How can he drink?” The servant laughed and said, ”You might not know, but our wine is not a hot liquor. It can be consumed freely by any man, woman, or child, and we have never been drunk before. It is also fragrant with mountain flowers and grass, sweet with dew, more mellow and enchanting than some top-grade tea. ” Qingyi clapped. ”That's great. The price isn't too expensive either.” Huang Song thought to himself: ”Occasionally, a small handful is nothing. If they don't, I'm afraid they will be complained again. ” He then said: ”Alright, record it down. When the bill is settled, make it up.” The servant left happily, and before long, he brought over a large plate and a small plate, each holding two large jugs of wine and a small jug of wine. Yang Qi praised, ”You sure are meticulous. The jug of wine was drunk by both of us, while the small jug was prepared for me.” He looked at the tray floating above the hot spring. It seemed to be floating in a trance. In the mist, there was a unique flavor to it.

Boom! A loud sound came from outside. It sounded like a cannon battle, but it was too loud. Caught off guard, the three of them jumped and knocked over the tray. The wine spilled into the pool. Yang Qi was shocked, ”What's going on? Didn't Zhu Men post a couplet saying, 'Pine cypress, lush green and clean Blessed Land, mountain range, clean and condensed holy abode'? How can it be so noisy in the dead of night? ” Huang Song said, ”Could it be that I have a habit of firing firecrackers before going to bed?” Qing Yi shook her head. ”No, if that's the case, then you must be more spirited. Where can you sleep later on?” They looked at each other and made wild guesses, not knowing what to do. After a while, the boy came running over, cursing, ”This Huang Erniu is such a fool. If he dares to disturb my guest, I'll have to find him for a reason.” ”The movement just now was caused by the Soul Summoning Cannon. We have a rule that whenever a family member dies in the first three days, after dusk every night, such a cannon battle must be carried out to guide the souls of the dead through thunder, allowing them to safely enter the underworld and be reincarnated as human beings.” The servant's expression changed as he heard Huang Erniu's words. He stood up and scolded, ”Huang Erniu, you don't know what's going on. Since he's in trouble, it's fine as long as it's just a cannon fight. What are you going to do about it?” The protective fence was not far away to begin with. If Huang Erniu was outside the fence, he would have been able to catch a glimpse of it. Yang Qi panicked and said, ”It must be because of the sadness in his heart, and he can't control himself, don't blame him.” The servant sighed and said, ”Since young master has a kind heart, I won't bother with it. If the Yellow Ox died of an illness, it would at least make up for it. But since it was eaten by a demon, its father would naturally be grief-stricken and resentful, hating that the heavens were unfair. He should have sent heavenly soldiers to wipe out this calamity long ago. ” Yang Qi was shocked, ”Are there demons here?” The servant cried out and quickly slapped himself. He said with regret, ”Did I talk too much again to scare you? ”It's alright, it's alright. This place is still safe and the demon hasn't come in yet.” Huang Song laughed: ”Second brother, you misunderstand. This person has some sort of magic, and he is known as' Half the Blade Master '. He likes to kill demons and exorcise evil spirits. When he heard that there are monsters that harm people, he started to feel uncomfortable all over.” He sized up Yang Qi with a gaze filled with suspicion. Seeing this youth giggling, nodding his head, he suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but dance as he turned around and ran towards the gallery. As he sprinted, he shouted, ”A hero is here to save us, everyone is looking forward to it, we don't have to fear demons anymore.” He saw him disappearing into the darkness. Huang Songqi said, ”How are they so happy?” Qingyi said, ”It can be seen that the demon was extremely harmful. If we were to meet again after a long drought, it would naturally become extremely intense.” Around the time of half a cup of tea later, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard from far away and many people crowded over. The attendant rushed to the front and with a wave of his hand, everyone stopped. The attendant brought the neatly arranged snow-white clothes to the side of the pool and said with a smile: ”Young masters of three sizes, please come to the end of the bath. Many of the surrounding commoners have come to sincerely pay their respects.” Yang Qi felt a little embarrassed and sighed, ”But to exterminate the Demons, why...” Why do you have to be so flamboyant? ” Helpless, she put on her new clothes, tidied up a little, and went over to pay her respects to Huang Song and Qi Tian.

In front of the crowd, a man with a disheveled appearance knelt down as he cried out in pain, ”Swordsman, if you had come a few days earlier and killed the demons, my child would not have lost his life for nothing.” This cry was not a big one, but it affected the hearts of the countless people behind it. They immediately began to lament over it, accusing the demons of their evil deeds. The citizens could not protect themselves. Qi Tian and Hu Meiniang heard the commotion and were very curious. After tidying things up, they hurried over to get to the bottom of the situation. When they heard the evil monster stirring, they couldn't help but be surprised and said, ”So this place can't be relaxed either.” Yang Qi said, ”Everyone, please speak slowly. Everyone has different opinions. I am also unable to listen to a general situation.” The attendant shouted, ”The swordsman said, don't make too much noise. He will naturally seek justice for everyone.” Hearing him call her in such an arrogant manner, Yang Qi felt rather uneasy. He cupped his fist and said, ”This one will do his best.” Everyone said, ”Everything depends on the swordsman.”

Originally, this place was also peaceful. In the past ten li of the hot spring, there had already been a river known as the Shansa River. There were many fishes and prawns in the river, and the villagers nearby all had nothing to do. A month ago, the wife of the neighboring village Gu San rode a small boat across the water to pick lotuses. She accidentally picked up a round egg, which was different from ordinary eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. Gu San's daughter-in-law was both surprised and happy. She thought it was a treasure from the heavens, so she took it home with her and, after discussing it with her husband, put it into the chicken coop in the yard to hatch. After a few days, a lizard came out of its shell. When it saw that the wind had grown to three feet, its appetite was enormous. It actually ate all of the chickens and ducks next to it. Gu San's wife saw this and felt both indignation and resentment. Her previous joy had long since disappeared as she lifted a wooden board to give chase, but the monster stuck out its tongue, causing her to fall down, injuring her heart and veins. She watched as it fled, lying gloomily on the bed, drinking a few herbal medicines made by a village doctor. Gu San was heartbroken and carried the kitchen knife to the river to search for the monster. He found out that the monster was several times stronger than before and had instead eaten his wife's enmity as blood. From then on, demons roamed the banks of the river of condensed sand day and night. Whenever they saw someone, they would pounce on him and bite him. They were not willing to let him off easily, resulting in the wounding of dozens of lives. Huang Erniu's son said, ”Such a monster must have powerful magic to be able to subdue it.” He asked around and heard that there was a Daoist in the Spirit Treasure County. He brought some of the money that the villagers had gathered to ask for a ride. The Daoist priest received the silver and agreed immediately to follow him back to catch the demon. However, when he arrived at the riverside, before he could place the altar, demons jumped out of the dark water and devoured him alive. They also sucked the two children that he had with him into their stomachs. Huang Erniu's son turned around and ran, but he was caught up by the demons. With a single swipe of his claw, he was severely injured. Although he was barely able to escape, his internal organs were all shattered. In the end, he still died.

Hu Meiniang asked, ”Where did the round egg come from?” The waiter at the inn said, ”No one knows where it came from, but I heard that... ”I heard …” He was hesitating and looking around. Huang Erniu snorted, ”What are you hesitating for?” Young Hero, in the past 30 miles, there's a cave in the Autumn Clouds. There's a hermit staying there. He is normally strange, but other than coming out to gather some daily necessities, he keeps his wooden door tightly shut day and night. A woodcutter passed by the entrance of the mountain. He had heard the sounds of beasts roaring in the cave before, but it was very low. This monster is extremely strange. Maybe it escaped from his cave. ” Qi TIanqi said, ”A hermit? Wasn't that a man of noble morality? ”How can you do such a thing?” Qingyi said indifferently: ”The hermit lives in different ways according to their own way of life, with differences. If it's small but small, then it's big and small, but it's in the city. Huangshi, Shangshan all belong to the former, while Zhu Gui, Chicken Cry and Dog Thief can be called the latter. In terms of character, there were those who relied on fences to admire the chrysanthemums, those who bent over to plow their own gardens, and those who were curious about the privacy of the heaven and earth to explore its good fortune. Wasn't this the case for mages and warlocks? ”He can be considered a recluse.” Qi Tian smiled, ”I know what to say. Alright, alright, I got it. Half a swordsman, what do you think? ” Yang Qi frowned slightly and said, ”No matter what, we will go rest first. When the sun rises, we will go to the side of the river of condensed sand to kill the lizards, then we will head towards the autumn cloud cave.” Huang Erniu was disappointed at his words, ”Wasn't it Xingye who went to kill the demons?” ”We have already prepared torches and everything is as bright as day.” The servant panicked, ”Uncle Huang, are you talking nonsense? It would be inconvenient to act in the middle of the night, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow. ”

Yang Qi returned to his room and conversed with Huang Song and Qing Yi. Just as he was about to go to rest, he heard a knock on the door. The servant respectfully asked, ”Young Master, did you rest well?” Yang Qi answered and opened the latch. The boy led a man in, half vulgar, half humble, with a round collar, blue robes and boots, and a wide black band around his waist. Under his white beard, his eyes were intelligent, and his forehead was devoid of wrinkles. Yang Qi was stunned and did not know what was going on. The servant laughed and said, ”This is Mr. Zhong from the Ghost Alliance. He heard that Young Master is very powerful and could easily suppress demons. So he came here to see you.” Mr Zhong stroked his beard and said, ”However, coming here by means of Escape is not tiring.” Yang Qi cupped his hands in salute and thought to himself, ”So there is such an ordinary alliance in the county?” It was completely unheard-of. ”It's just that this old mister looks amiable and it's hard to conceal his arrogant style.” Not daring to say anything, he led Mr. Zhong to a red table in the room and offered him a cup of tea. Mr Zhong gave a slight smile and sat down in a dignified manner. He scanned through the arrangements within the room and did not speak any further. He only looked at the young servant as if he was nodding his head. The servant was clever and understood, smiling as he said: ”Please speak slowly, I will wait on you outside. If you have any orders, just shout them out.” Mr Zhong said: ”It is extremely late in the night, and you are still taking care of the affairs of this place with the postman. How can you be dispirited? Let's go and rest! If I have to leave, I will naturally leave, and there's no need for you to send me off. ” The manservant said happily, ”Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first.”

Mr. Zhong exchanged a few pleasantries with the three of them, asking where they had come from and where they wanted to go. Yang Qi answered each of them. Mr. Zhong laughed, ”If that's the case, then this little brother will travel westward and defeat the demons and exterminate the devils. His skills are truly not shallow!” Huang Song said, ”With him working together with the young miss of the Qi family, it will be within our reach to eliminate the demon in the frozen river.” Mr Zhong shook his head and said, ”That was just a man-eating crocodile to begin with. It's not some demon.” Yang Qi was stunned, and curiously said, ”If it was an ordinary crocodile, how could it move so quickly on shore? Saying that it would grow as soon as the wind blows after it exits the shell is definitely not an ordinary ability either.” Mr. Zhong said, ”This crocodile is a little strange, but in the end, it is just a little strong. The villagers here are making up rumors. You don't have to be suspicious.” Yang Qi pondered, ”Then what do you want to do?” However, he heard him say, ”Since they are not demons and devils, there is no need for you to work hard tomorrow. The officers and soldiers of the Spirit Treasure County will naturally encircle and exterminate this crocodile. Don't worry.” Qingyi suddenly said, ”Sir is also a member of the Evil Killing Alliance, a crocodile that caused trouble. Why did you allow me to do this?” As soon as he said that, Yang Qi and Huang Song opened their mouths as if they had seen the sun through the clouds. Hearing that, Mr. Zhong's expression changed drastically as he stuttered, ”That lieutenant leading the troops is my friend, he …” He wasn't feeling very well, so he asked for my help and for the time being led by the regiment. ” The three of them were silent as they thought to themselves, ”This is a complete lie. Is there no other general in the barracks without your friend?” Furthermore, the management of the army is so strict, how can we allow others to send troops at will? ” He then watched as Mr. Zhong made a few excuses to bid his farewells. Yang Qi's eyes were sharp and he noticed that there were shadows of people intertwining with each other in the bushes outside the yard, blocking out the moonlight. He felt a little strange. Huang Song went over to take a look and came back after a while. His face was full of sweat as he whispered, ”There are soldiers inside. They are holding weapons and swords. They are very ferocious.” Yang Qi said, ”Are you trying to prevent us from going to Ningsha River?” Huang Song said, ”Then it's fine if we don't go tomorrow.” Yang Qi heroically said: ”Since he doesn't want me to go, I must go. Let's see what happens then.

The next day, after everyone had washed up and prepared to leave, it was late in the morning. The servant sighed and said, ”Young Master, Mister Zhong said that you are esteemed guests and that the journey is more important. You should prepare the horses and carriages to escort you.” After talking, he looked at a pair of soldiers from the Spiritual Treasure sect. Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said, ”We have a guzheng boat we can use, there's no need to put so much effort into it.” The leader replied, ”It's alright. We'll send you off safely. It'll be better to report back to the lord.” Qi Tian snorted. ”This is obviously spying on us.” Just as he was about to flare up, Yang Qi gave him a meaningful glance and said: ”Let's go. I don't want to stay in this place filled with evil!” With a panicked expression on her face, Hu Meiniang said, ”Don't say that these military men are going to escort us. Even if they are watching us, they should follow us.” Qi Tian did not understand, ”What did sister say?” Hu Meiniang whispered into her ear. Hearing that, Qi Tian's face turned pale, ”What did you say? Zither... The guzheng boat had stopped by the river? That's right, we did not know the depth of your words, so how could we have made such a mistake? ” The leader was puzzled, ”What river did he stop at?” Hu Meiniang stammered and then smiled, ”It's not a dangerous place. Big Brother Jun, can you bring a few more brothers with you to accompany us? We also want to leave this place as soon as possible. ” A soldier said in surprise, ”Aside from Ning Sha River and a few other small hot springs, what other rivers could there be in this area? Could it be that...” ”Could it be that you all …” Hu Meiniang laughed, ”In the end, I can't hide it from the few of you. Forget it, when we came here before, we had never heard of any monsters that cause trouble at the banks of the river, so we anchored the guzheng boat on a big tree by the river. At that time, everything was quiet and nothing could be detected. ” The soldiers looked at each other and thought, ”If that's the case, then we have to discuss this properly.” While his mind was wandering, he heard Qi Tian urge him, ”Don't be afraid, it's just a big crocodile. Many of us have sharp shining blades, are we afraid of it eating us?” Yang Qi had a flash of inspiration as he sighed and said loudly, ”Didn't you say that this monster's leather armour is solid and heavy? If it really is invulnerability, what should we do? ” Qi Tian did not seem to care and said, ”Even if it wants to eat people, its stomach must be limited. After eating a few soldiers, its stomach will already be full, so it naturally will not have time to worry about us anymore.” At that time, even if we climbed on its back to board the boat, as long as it doesn't hurt, I'm afraid it wouldn't even bother to look at us. ” He secretly glanced at the soldiers and saw that they were anxious. He could not help but feel proud as he thought to himself: ”Sister's idea is not brilliant?”

The soldiers of the Spiritual Treasure sect felt awkward when they saw them leaving. They stopped and said, ”Mr. Zhong still has other important matters to attend to. How can we get out of here?” Yang Qi laughed, ”Since that's the case, you should at least spare half of your manpower. However, how to allocate them, will require everyone to transfer them among themselves. ” Someone said, ”Old Wang, your speed is rather fast. After escorting the young master, you can immediately return to look for us. Why don't you and the three brothers stay behind?” Old Wang spat out, ”I'm old and weak, how can I run for long? You're still young, you should exchange places with me.” The other person said hatefully, ”Why must the three of us stay behind? You see how good Xiao Gu and Little Zhang's relationship is. Even if they are in danger, it would be better for them to look after each other.” The two of them panicked and said, ”Nonsense, we are only sworn brothers. The three of you are blood brothers, so we can help each other more.” The place was bustling with noise and excitement, no one was willing to accompany Yang Qi and the others. Qi Tian's face was filled with displeasure as he shouted, ”Forget it, forget it. Let's go by ourselves. We don't need them to accompany us any longer. This kind of rejection of responsibility is really annoying.” The soldier rejoiced and said, ”Since you don't want us to serve you then we will have to take our leave. But if anyone asks, we have important matters to attend to.” Seeing Yang Qi agree, he hurriedly left. Seeing them leave, Qi Tian laughed out loud and said, ”Such a timid person, if the country is in danger, how could they do their best to protect us? Our guzheng boat is on the hillside, when did it ever set up on top of the demons' nest? ”

They're ants,” Yang Qi said. ”And they're ants, not them.” Teach Hu Meiniang, Qingyi, and Huang Song to return to the boat first and wait. Passing through a patch of grass, a person suddenly jumped out, almost colliding with Yang Qi. They were all aghast, ahh, waiting for their minds to calm down and size each other up, they couldn't help but smile, so that person was actually a servant boy from the spa. Qi Tianxiong asked, ”Why are you here?” The servant panted and said, ”Mr Zhong chased you away. The surrounding villagers were quite angry and said, 'It's one thing for the Shangguan family to not come to help the citizens, but why bother the citizens? 'Since the living Immortal that exterminated the demon has left, what should I do? ' They complained, but there was nothing they could do. Desperate, Huang Erniu went to the riverbank with Gu San, carrying the steel pitchfork in his hand. He wanted to fight to the death with the demon. I … ”I am going to stop them.” Yang Qi clicked his tongue in praise, and said: ”This second brother is so kind and has the courage of a chivalrous hero, but he is much stronger than those other soldiers.” Qi Tian laughed. ”If that's the case, then we're on the same path. We should hurry up.” The three of them did not dare to hesitate as they passed through the forest and over the mound. Scales of light flashed in front of them, but the green willow trees on both sides of the lake were dim and dark. The servant looked nervous, panicking as he said softly, ”This is Ning Sha River.” Looking up, the grass and trees were shaky, the vines were intertwined, and even Huang Erniu and Gu San were nowhere to be seen. Huang Si could not help but be startled, and thought to himself: ”Could it be that we came late? Have they been eaten by demons?

Yang Qi instructed Qi Tian and the servant to wait at the back, then he took out a small dagger and wielded it against the wind, transforming it into a three feet long blade. The servant looked on in envy and said, ”It's a pity that I'm just an insignificant fellow, I don't deserve such good fortune.” Qi Tian giggled and said, ”What do you know? He was originally an apprentice in the medicine store, but he was unwilling to be dull. He insisted on becoming a swordsman, eliminating evil and good in every corner of the Divine State. It was all thanks to the lucky chance he had gained and the continuous training he had accumulated that he finally achieved some small success. ” Hearing that, Yang Qi giggled and said: ”If you want to achieve big things, you must first make up your mind. No matter how difficult or arduous it is in the future, do not hesitate to turn back. ”Second brother, I am nothing, but don't you dare belittle yourself. If you work hard, you might have quite a bit of achievements in the future.” The servant was a tactful person and was well versed in the ways of the world, but when he heard these words, his blood surged as he stammered, ”I hope so.” He could not suppress his excitement as he watched Yang Qian lower his body and carefully move towards the riverbank. Qi Tian's chest thumped. He drew his bow and took out an arrow, carefully observing the surroundings. If that monster were to launch a sneak attack, he would pierce it with his arrow without mercy. After about an hour, Yang Qi returned and sighed, ”It's really incredible. I've taken a long turn. Not to mention seeing demons, even this sword could not sense even the slightest bit of Demonic Qi.” He picked up a pair of shoes and said, ”I was just looking for this.” The manservant said in shock, ”Not good, this is something Gu San is wearing, he... He was indeed eaten by demons. ” Yang Qi shook his head and said, ”This pair of shoes is neatly placed on the stone slab. If we are chased by demons and engaged in an argument, how could we calmly remove our shoes and place them there?” The attendant was stunned as he said, ”That's reasonable. That's reasonable.” However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer.

A few meters away, he heard a human silhouette. Qi Tian was on guard, his eyes were wide open as he whispered, ”Could it be that the demon is over there?” His arm unconsciously exerted force, and the bowstring made a banging sound. It was extremely clear. Suddenly, someone stuck his head out and said anxiously, ”It's me, it's me. Don't recklessly shoot the arrows.” The servant looked him straight in the eye and said happily, ”Oh, Huang Erniu, so it's you.” That... What about Gu San? Where did he go again? ” Just as he finished speaking, another head stuck out from behind him and said, ”Do you think I am treated like a monster eating me alive while I am here? ”Hmph, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.” Pushing away the leaves, he walked up to the three of them. Gu San was barefoot, but there were bloodstains on his ankles.

Huang Erniu continued, ”Although the swordsman is not very old, he is still a great benefactor to the world. After being chased away by the muddled army, he came back quietly to observe the situation and seek for the safety of the people. Truly worthy of respect.” Yang Qi laughed, ”I've heard that the hands of demons that harm humans are itchy and the swords of demons are bright. How can they be so free to leave?” The servant handed the shoes over to Gu San, asked about the reason, and then heard his sigh and said, ”When the two of us heard that the Shangguan Family had inexplicably intervened, we felt disheartened and begged for death. But even if we die, we can't die in vain. Even if it could not be killed, it would still need to be hacked a few times. Even so, it could not injure it in the slightest, and could only spit a few times. Who would have thought that not long after arriving here, he would be hiding in the underbrush, bitterly guarding the area? To think that he would actually see Mr. Zhong, who was sent from the city, mumbling something under his breath. Thus, he restrained his temper and carefully observed. He called out a few times, and when the waves parted, the monster jumped out with a cry, waving its arms and legs, baring its fangs and claws. Mr. Zhong then shouted, ”Evil creature, your master is still afraid of me. If you overestimate yourself, you will only end up dying.” He spat out a beam of golden light, which transformed into many visible symbols and landed in the demon's ears. As a result, the demon spoke human words as it turned around and walked into the river. Mr Zhong followed closely behind and said, ”Is that your cave?” Alright, I'll go take a look. What kind of filth is this? Go to the cave by the waterway and call your master to come see me. Tell him that if he doesn't come, I'll go, and don't blame me for disregarding brotherhood. I was curious, so I took off my shoes and jumped into the river to follow. ” Huang Erniu said, ”I also want to go, but the water level is too low, so I had to hide behind a rock and take care of myself.” Qi Tian asked, ”Then what did you see?” Gu San's face was filled with shame as he said, ”That demon could pollute the surrounding area the best. Although this river looks like it is unharmed, the fact that it has been stirred up for a few days is because it has a terrible stench. I swam a few steps inside, but I was still unable to do it. I held my nose as I walked back to the shore. Actually, I didn't see anything. ” The wound on his foot had also accidentally cut open the edge of the aquatic plant.

Everyone was at a loss of what to do. Should they stay? He didn't know how long he would have to wait. How could he be willing to give up so easily? While he was hesitating, Yang Qi's hands were on the edge of his blade. The blue-purple color was flowing and intermittent. It was not very obvious. Qi Tian said, ”Or did that demon and its master return? Good, good, let's see what the hidden cultivators of the Autumn Clouds Cave look like. ” Everyone lowered their bodies and hid in the thick grass behind the tree. Huang Erniu and Gu San had said that they would enter the underworld with the demons, but it was only two parts truth, eight parts wishful thinking. Now that they had seen the ”Half of the swordsman” and the female hero here, they lost their spirit and became cautious.

From afar, a person approached while treading on the waves. Behind him was an alligator-like monster that was as respectful as a servant. After stopping at the bottom of the river, that person said in a clear voice, ”Senior Brother, I'm here. It's just that I don't like to converse with you in this servant's residence. It's better that you come out.” The wave dissipated, revealing Mr. Zhong's figure. He sneered and said, ”Junior Brother, if you want to study some unorthodox techniques, I have always been preventing you from doing so. It is just that this time, you are putting the beast taming in the place of the common people.” The man laughed and said: ”I asked you to borrow the Book of Foran, but you refused; you refused to borrow the Nine Worms Pill; you refused to borrow the red incense burner. And so, I had a hard time figuring out the way to train the beasts of the Three Realms in the cold and bitter autumn air of the Rosy Cave. You saw how angry I was and felt jealous, so you started to criticize me again. ” Mr Zhong shouted, ”That 'Blue Scripture' is a masterpiece of Master Bi's life. It is extremely profound and can not be trained by cultivators of later generations. If one tries to force it, it is easy for one's cultivation to go berserk. My Master died because of this. I didn't believe it at first, so I studied carefully, but the Yin Qi formed some strange meridians. Why don't you know what's good for you and still insist on doing it? ” That man said angrily: ”Bullshit, Bullshit, how am I, Xuan Zhen, not as good as you in terms of cultivation? You can't train in the general level, but do you think I can't train in the general level too? ” Mr Zhong said, ”You just don't know your own limits.” Xuan Taizi became increasingly angry and stammered, ”Alright, I won't mention this' Blue Scripture 'anymore. But you won't let me borrow the Nine Worms Pill and the red incense burner at the end?” Mr Zhong said, ”Logically speaking, you should have been able to use these two treasures as well. It's a pity that your mind is not right and your bearing is limited. Naturally, I am afraid of you.” Xuan Zhen Zi said in a stern voice, ”Since I am so unbearable in your eyes, continuing to speak is useless. Forget it, forget it. Even if I have to ask for orders on behalf of this commoner and destroy their marriage alliance, I will accept both of them. There is nothing much to be proud of. ” Mr Zhong sighed, ”If you just stop here, I might be able to show mercy.” Xuanzi was both embarrassed and anxious. He laughed out loud and said, ”Your boasting skills are the best in the world. Come, why don't you fight with this crocodile lizard and let me see what abilities you have? If my magic power is limitless, I would be terrified, so I wouldn't dare to fight you. I would just run for my life. ” With a shout, he beckoned the demons behind him to join the battle. The crocodile lizard was terrified and did not dare step forward. Xuan Zhenzi called out, ”Are you not going? ”Alright, I will destroy your terracotta soldier and smash your heart.” The crocodile lizard could do nothing but roar as it pounced towards Mr. Zhong with an aggressive momentum that could shake one's soul.

Mr Zhong sighed, ”Since you couldn't bear to harm others, why didn't you exorcise yourself in the past? If you had reincarnated earlier, how could you have destroyed your primordial spirit today?” His body floated backward as the crocodile lizard chased him. A large bug shot out from his sleeve and instantly turned into a 30 meter long worm. Its body was covered in sparkling white fur and it bit into the crocodile lizard's shoulder. The crocodile lizard could not bear the pain. It tried to scratch the belly of the big worm but was thrown into the air by its neck. As it landed, it fell right into the big mouth and turned into powder. Mr. Zhong said, ”You treat innocence as your food, but you didn't expect yourself to become the Nine Worms Pill's meal today. This is your retribution.” He raised his head and said, ”Junior brother, good and evil will come back eventually. If you continue to be so stubborn, I won't be able to save you. ” Xuan Zhenzi said angrily, ”I have my own thoughts. I don't need you to speak such nonsense.” He chanted a spell and summoned a beast clad in armor from the water. It rode on the beast and wielded a curved broadsword. It hacked towards Mr. Zhong. Mr Zhong had no choice but to dive into the water with one hand, and the place where he lifted his hand brought out an image of a wave, which gradually became clearer and clearer, revealing four different colors. A cold light flashed in his sleeves, and he took out a Wolf Teeth Club. Mr Zhong did not chase after him and loudly shouted, ”Junior brother, it is still not too late to ride on the cliff. If you wake up in time, come and talk to me.” Xuan Taizi scolded, but he could not identify what was happening. He turned into a black dot and disappeared into the horizon.

Yang Qi thought to himself, ”This Mister Zhong's stick skills are really amazing.” Seeing him treading on the water, stepping down in four different directions, putting away the mace, Ji Hao said, ”Young Master Yang, Lady Qi, why don't you come out and have a chat?” Yang Qi was stunned, seeing that it was impossible to dodge, he could only pull up the grass and reveal himself. He cupped his fist and said, ”Senior Zhong is very skilled.” Qi Tian harrumphed, ”It's a pity to let the tiger return to the mountain. After all, I'm a bit selfish.” Mr Zhong smiled bitterly and said, ”I only have these selfish motives. I'm afraid that after you destroyed the alligator lizard, you will be able to trace the source and harm Xuanzi's life. That's why you were forced to send them on your way.” Yang Qi's eyes lit up, and he said, ”Senior is a person from the Supreme Hall, yet you are able to lead the army here. Could it be that this is also the intention of the duke?” Mr. Zhong said, ”Young Master Yang is right. Although this Junior Brother of mine went astray, his abilities are also well-known for his spiritual treasures. The prince wanted to borrow his ability to build a terracotta soul and build an immortal army. He specially sent me here to drink soft wine and persuade him to serve the imperial court. ” Qi Tian asked in surprise, ”What is a set of terracotta warriors?” Mr. Zhong said, ”Simply put, it is to create all kinds of terracotta soldiers and instill the souls of the dead into them. It's just a monster.” Coughing, he said, ”That alligator lizard was also the result of its soul entering the alligator after the death of a living person. When it comes to eating people, it's not because it's hungry, but because it's trying to kill someone so that Xuan Zhen can accumulate his soul. ” Then, Huang Erniu and Gu Sanchong came out, their red eyes like fire. They grabbed his clothes and roared: ”You're in cahoots with him? Return my wife's life. ” One of them shouted, ”You are all not good people. Pay for my son's life.” Mr Zhong was caught off guard. He was caught between the two of them. He could not help but sigh. For a moment, he was unable to move.
