Upper Valley City, Xiao Ai's family.

When Ji Tian woke up, it was already the middle of the night, and he suddenly sat up from the bed, and his heart beat wildly, as if he had a terrible nightmare.

He turned his head to look out the window with a little light, sighed, took out his mobile phone and looked at the specific time, it turned out to be 3:29 at night.

Suddenly, it was as if something terrible had been discovered. Ji Tian grew his mouth and looked at the date in the upper left corner of the phone screen with a strange expression, "I slept for three days?"

On that day, Wu Heng and Wu Zong swaggered all the way from Changshan City to Shanggu, and released a message to kill the night watchman in Shanggu, and almost all the iron guards who stopped on the way of the two were killed, and they also picked up a python spirit as cannon fodder on the way.

Ouyang Qi ignored everyone's dissuasion, and insisted on taking the initiative to face these two big witches. Ji Tian also rushed to the outskirts of Wangdu with Ouyang Qi. There, along with a few other guards, they fought the Lich and the Python Spirit.

Ji Tian and the python who looked like a Qing Dynasty Xiucai fought, and the two of them fought from the outskirts of Wangdu City to the surrounding wilderness, and chased the Qing Dynasty Xiucai all the way into the woods farther away.

Both sides fought to the death to the point of exhaustion, and each was seriously injured. That Qing Dynasty Xiucai drove the body of the python into the depths of the woods and escaped. Ji Tian was seriously injured, three ribs were broken, and his right calf was also fractured, unable to catch up, and lay on the spot for a long time wheezing in place before regaining some strength, standing up and limping back. After passing through the chaotic battlefield left on the outskirts of Wangdu, he staggered back to Shanggu, and saw that the inn branch of Shanggu was destroyed, he was worried about Xiao Ai's safety, and turned around and rushed to Xiao Ai's house, broke in and saw the empty house, exhausted, couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep on Xiao Ai's bed.

I didn't expect this sleep to be three days and three nights.

Ji Tian had just gotten up and had several injuries, and he bared his teeth and snorted a few times in pain. He calmly examined his injuries and said to himself that he was lucky to survive.

"I don't know where they've gone. "This is what they refer to, of course, the companions who stayed in the inn branch that day, as well as Xiao Ai and others.

Ji Tian picked up his mobile phone and sent a text message, and then he endured the pain, sat alone on the edge of the bed, looked out the window, and caught a glimpse of a small half box of fried chicken nuggets left over by the orange cat on the edge of the windowsill, but it had spoiled and spoiled.

Ji Tian's stomach rumbled with hunger, and he stood up silently on the edge of the bed, and then the little light that poured into the room from the window, and turned on the light switch on the wall. I walked to the living room with difficulty, and after pressing the light again, I walked to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door, and saw that there were still some fast food, a few bottles of yogurt, and a dozen eggs left.

Ji Tian unceremoniously took out all the yogurt, opened it and drank it one by one, feeling that the empty stomach was finally more comfortable, and then turned on the stove to boil water, ready to cook some fast food and eggs to eat.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for the water to open, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He opened it and saw a text message from Ying Cang: It's great that you're still alive. We and the night watchman moved to Yannan City, and Xiao Ai and they were all here. You don't have to worry. You wait for your injuries in the same place, and I'll find someone to pick you up.

Ji Yan put away his mobile phone and breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that Xiao Ai was also waiting for him in Yannan City, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled slightly, and then immediately lowered his face. "Strange, why am I so happy!?"

Yannan City, Inn Branch.

In the battle that day, Ouyang Qi was rescued by Wu Chen, and he came to the inn branch of Yannan City with him under his arm to settle down, and in the next day, the iron guard of the inn branch of Shanggu City, and Xiao Ai Orange Cat and others were also transferred here.

Because the strength of the two great witches, Wu Zong and Wu Heng, was too strong, the iron guards of the inn branch decided to ask the old man of the Yuqing Palace for help and ask him to help.

So early the next morning after arriving in Yannan City, Ying Cang immediately set off to the Yuqing Palace in the same city.

Ying Cang should be the least injured in the battle of Wangdu. Yingcang took the bus, got off at the east exit of the North Ring Road according to the road signs, walked west for six or seven minutes, and came to the gate of Yuqing Palace (fortunately, because of these Taoists of Yuqing Palace, the night of the fifteenth night of the lunar calendar did not make much trouble in Yannan City, and the city was still operating normally. ）。

The east and west sides of the Yuqing Palace are two-storey commercial buildings, and the south archway of the Yuqing Palace in the middle is majestic and magnificent, and the momentum is extraordinary. Yingcang entered through the gate and walked straight to the inside of the palace. Because this is just an ordinary Taoist temple for ordinary people to visit for free, people often enter and exit, and the Taoist people in the palace do not stop them, and they wander around the courtyard during their tenure. So Yingcang's coming in didn't attract anyone's attention.

Yingcang from south to north, through the spacious and quiet courtyard, look around, several halls in the courtyard are carved beams and painted buildings, bucket arches and cornices, the small side halls on both sides are small and exquisite, finely made, the courtyard wall is tall, the red wall is yellow tile, the right pine and cypress in the courtyard, the pen is straight to the sky. Ying Cang walked in the winding corridors, and occasionally a few ordinary people who came in to visit and play passed by him.

He looked around, and was about to find a Taoist in the palace and ask him to introduce him to the head of the Sealing Dust Dao, when he saw that under a few towering cypress trees in the courtyard, a thin young man in a Taoist robe was bending down to pick up the pine nuts that had fallen on the ground.

"Little master. Ying Cang saw the thin young man straighten up and turned his head to look at him, with a puzzled expression.

The thin young man held five or six pine nuts in his arms with one hand, and pointed to his nose with the other, his puzzled expression seemed to ask, "You call me?"

Ying Cang hurriedly nodded twice, revealing a kind smile. "Dare to ask the little master what to call the Dao number?"

"Hello layman, Xiaodao Zhang Danyun. "The thin young man Chao Yingcang was the head of the young man, it was a month ago that he was secretly taken by the orange cat to Shanggu City and gave Bojun a little Taoist priest Zhang Danyun who used Fu water to treat his injuries.

Most of the tourists who enter the palace to visit are wandering around by themselves, and few people talk to the Taoist priests in the palace, even if there are occasionally one or two who want to find Taoist masters to solve their doubts, they are also looking for those elderly brothers and uncles, and almost no one takes the initiative to take care of him. So with a look of suspicion, Zhang Danyun slowly approached Yingcang in the corridor.

"I don't know what advice the layman has?" Zhang Danyun looked like a well-behaved young man.

"My name is Yingcang, and I'm from the inn. Ying Cang lowered his voice, looked left and right, and found two ordinary tourists passing by at the left corner, so he stopped talking, and after the two people walked away, he leaned forward, approached Zhang Danyun slightly, and said in a low voice: "The inn has something to ask for help from the chief of the dust sealing road." ”

"Inn?" Zhang Danyun blinked, not listening.

Ying Cang saw Zhang Danyun showing such a puzzled expression, and said in her heart, Could it be that this little guy doesn't know the existence of the inn?

That Zhang Danyun spoke again: "I'm really ashamed. My master has something to do and is not in the palace at this time. ”

"Where has the Dust Sealing Dao Leader gone, and when will he be able to come back?" asked Ying Cang hurriedly.

"This ......" Zhang Danyun looked at Ying Cang with an eager face hesitantly, and muttered in his heart: Master once hung up, and before going out, he specially told the disciples in the palace that during this period of time, the demons will dance and cover the sky, and there will be no peace in Kyushu, so they must be careful when they stay in the palace, and send away suspicious people if they encounter them, so as not to conflict with them. In addition, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, all low-level disciples are forbidden to go out, and all foreign affairs are handled by a few elder uncles and three older senior brothers.

Zhang Danyun was vigilant, hurriedly took two steps back, stared at Yingcang's eyes, and said cautiously: "I don't know." Master, the old man was in a hurry, and he didn't explain anything. ”

Ying Cang was anxious in his heart, and he didn't notice Zhang Danyun's defensiveness against him, but when he heard Zhang Danyun say this, his face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and after being silent for three seconds, he asked again: "Are there any other real people in the palace who are the same generation as the Dust Sealing Dao Elder?"

Zhang Danyun still shook his head.

Ying Cang sighed, feeling disappointed, and when he was about to say goodbye to Zhang Danyun and leave, he noticed the vigilant look on Zhang Danyun's face, and he was already clear in his heart at this moment. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and explained in a calm expression and a calm tone as much as possible: "Don't worry, Zhang Xiaodao, I'm not a bad person. I am the Xuanzi Iron Guard of the inn, the day before yesterday, I waited for the inn Iron Guard and the night watchman to join forces, and fought to the death with the two great witches of the Lich clan in Wangdu, but the two great witches were really strong, and we were invincible, and they broke through the interception line and went north to the imperial capital. In this battle, the night watchman was also seriously injured and temporarily lost his combat effectiveness, and at this moment, the only person who could match the two of them in the battle power of the inn in this vicinity was a Tianzi-level iron guard, and if he wanted to stop the two of them, he had to ask the dust sealing dao chief to help. Please ask Zhang Xiaodao to help spread the word, Yingcang is grateful. ”

Zhang Danyun really hadn't heard of the night watchman, the inn, the lich, and his understanding of the night world was almost zero. The only thing I know is that my master is really the Tao of the Tao, several uncles and the three eldest brothers have some skills, and there are indeed some demons and spirits in this world, except for these, Zhang Danyun doesn't know anything. Moreover, these are all strictly forbidden by the master to talk about to ordinary people, and some of the superficial Taoist techniques taught to him are not allowed to show off in front of ordinary people. Therefore, after Zhang Danyun listened to Yingcang's words, he still replied negatively: "Xiaodao is shallow, and I haven't heard of any inn lichs." My master and his old man are indeed not in the palace, and as for those who stay, they are just ordinary Taoists who can turn over the scriptures and interpret the signatures. If you say you want to help people fight, or if you want to get rid of demons, you're really in the wrong place. Zhang Danyun thought that it would be too desperate for him to say this, so he added: "If Yingju is not disgusted, Xiaodao can make a wish and pray for you in front of the statue of Laojun." ”

Ying Cang smiled bitterly, it seemed that people didn't want to help, he looked around, his mind turned, thinking about whether to find it in one hall after another, and he had to find out the old way, at this very moment, when he couldn't use ordinary means to make up his mind, he replied to Zhang Danyun and said, "Okay." Then it won't bother Zhang Xiaodao. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and after Zhang Danyun saw him disappear in the corridor of the courtyard, he took the pine nuts in his arms and quietly followed. He saw that this Yingcang was really suspicious, and he had to watch Yingcang leave with his own eyes to feel at ease.

Besides, that Yingcang went around in the palace, and also met a few Taoists who watered and swept the floor, but they were all ordinary Taoists, and they really only could turn over the scriptures and unravel the signature, which was worse than Zhang Danyun, after all, Zhang Danyun studied under the old Tao of Fengchen, and he knew how many real Taoist skills.

Ying Cang was extremely disappointed, what he didn't know was that the real masters were all practicing and meditating in the inconspicuous little Dan room behind. He turned around, and he had already noticed that Zhang Danyun, who had been following behind him and was not at all clever at all, finally sighed and left the gate.

Zhang Danyun hid behind the pillar in the door, and was relieved to watch Yingcang leave on the bus, and then touched his arms, and only one of the five or six pine nuts fell away. It must have been inadvertently dropped when he was following Ying Cang just now, and he looked back with a depressed face.
