Yu Wenlei also turned over and stopped, and saw Chu Zhuang open the invitation card, with a few lines of vigorous characters written on it: I would like to ask Chongyang Guan to teach Tao Ran to do the Taoist seat: There is a demon and evil in Qingzhou Mansion today, I implore you to come and discuss the plan, and I hope that your dignity will descend early. At the end of the period, thousands of beggars drove over to talk about it, and if there was any inconvenience, it would be troublesome to let the senior brother do it for him. Yes Dutch. From the 26th to the 28th of this month.

After reading it, Chu Zhuang looked at Tong Tingren and asked, "Senior brother, what does this mean by the demons and demons mentioned in Cambodia?

Tong Tingqian put away the invitation, put it in his sleeve, and said lightly: "This place is less than a hundred miles away from Jinguang Temple, let's talk while walking, in order to defend against the people of the Immortal Sect to make trouble again." After speaking, he led Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenlei towards Jinguang Temple.

The three of them walked for a while, and Tong Tingqian turned his head to Chu Zhuang and asked. "Fourth junior brother, in October of the year before last, a blood-sucking demon inexplicably appeared in Qingzhou Mansion, do you know about this?"

Chu Zhuang thought for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "The little brother has indeed heard of the matter of bloodsucking demons. Speaking of which, I have some things that I want to talk to you first, but it is inconvenient to mention them just now. Tong Tingchen was curious, he answered, and asked Chu Zhuang to continue.

So Chu Zhuang told his senior brother about the major events that happened around him before and after setting off from the Hidden Village, including the black-robed people attacking the village, and then a group of people waiting to fight the Four Red Flame Demons in the dungeon of Anping Mansion, and finally the Black Pine Forest was ambushed by two mysterious people. Of course, it also includes the matter of vampire demons.

Tong Tingqian suddenly heard that Chu Zhuang had been severely injured by an unknown mysterious person, and his face suddenly showed concern, and he asked earnestly: "Senior brother, how are you recovering from your injuries now? It can cost you a year and a half to recuperate, it seems that the injury is not light!"

Chu Zhuang replied with a smile: "Thank you for your care, my junior brother's injuries have long been healed." When I was wounded, I was carried on my back and fled to a deep ravine, which was so hidden that it was difficult for outsiders to spot. Not only did I heal my wounds in the valley, but I also practiced spells to deal with that guy. Hmph, next time you ask me to meet him, I will definitely not give up with him!"

Chu Zhuang didn't plan to tell more people about the "Fang Wai", because it was a place where he had too many memories, and it was he who hid it from the second senior brother and prevaricated casually.

Tong Tingyan was in high spirits after hearing this, and said approvingly: "It's okay if you're fine, it seems that my nephew has also helped a lot with you." As he spoke, he looked back at Yu Wenlei who was following behind.

Chu Zhuang also looked over, and said proudly: "I was fortunate to have him in the Black Pine Forest that time, otherwise I would have died there, junior brother." ”

He deliberately concealed the appearance of Zixuan and put all the credit on Yu Wenlei, the purpose was to hope that the senior brother could be impressed by Yu Wenlei, and even if he returned to the division in the future, he would not be underestimated. After all, the second senior brother has the most disciples, and neither he nor the head of the sect have any apprentices, so it is very important to be able to get the support of the second senior brother.

Tong Tingqian was really full of praise, and said with a smile: "This kid has a good foundation, his brain is clever enough, and the old man loves it very much, if you and the third senior sister hadn't promised him to the head in advance, I really wanted to accept him as a closed disciple." ”

Chu Zhuang said in his heart, the reason why I accepted apprentices on behalf of the head of the sect in advance is not to prevent you from doing this. There are no less than 100 apprentices and grandchildren under your command, and so far there is not even a single one who has become famous, and you are really not as good as the fifth junior brother in terms of apprenticeship, or the senior brother in charge is more reliable.

What Chu Zhuang thought in his heart at this time, he never dared to say it, he thought of the senior brother in charge, and suddenly remembered something, so he said: "Oh, by the way, second senior brother, I can roughly determine that among the two mysterious people who ambushed me in the black pine forest at that time, the first should be Feng Xizhe, who went to Chongyangguan to make trouble more than thirty years ago. ”

Tong Tingqian was stunned: "Feng Xizhe, why is this name so unfamiliar, the old man doesn't seem to have heard anyone talk about it in his impression?"

Chu Zhuang said with a smile: "It's no wonder that Senior Brother will forget, after all, more than thirty years have passed, and besides, you weren't watching at the time, so it's not surprising that you don't know him."

That year, not long after the junior brother in charge entered the Chongyang Temple, a young spiritual weapon master with a knife on his back came to the temple to provoke, and was beaten out by the sixth junior brother with three strokes and five divisions. ”

Tong Tingqian thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is such a thing, I later returned to the view and heard you and the fifth junior brother talk about it, and it seems that I also mentioned the spirit weapon blood god knife or something." But as for the name of that spirit master, I don't remember anything, it's Feng Xizhe, right? He was also in his twenties when he went to Chongyang Temple to pick quarrels and provoke troubles, right? ”

Chu Zhuang nodded and said, "The younger brother was at the scene at the time, and he should be around twenty years old. ”

Tong Tingcheng said casually: "Although the spirit weapon master is not as particular about the qualifications as our spell masters, it is not unconditional for talent.

I had gone to the Wanshou Palace to talk to Kan Li's old Taoist about the scriptures, and I had heard him mention that he thought that if an excellent spiritual weapon master could not become a spiritual weapon master before the age of twenty, he would have no hope for life. So I don't think the one named Feng Xizhe should be afraid.

Spiritual artifacts are generally enlightened before the age of twenty, and once they are enlightened, they will progress rapidly. You see that Yuxian Zhenren, the first master of Wanshou Palace, and Zhen Dhara, the abbot of Jinguang Temple, both broke through the fifth layer of the realm of spiritual weapons when they were young, and their subsequent cultivation was basically to improve the accuracy of the technique and the cultivation of true qi, and the spiritual weapons naturally grew with them. ”

Chu Zhuang said: "What Senior Brother said is very true, the fifth layer of the spirit weapon master is almost equivalent to the fifth level of the spiritual power of the spell master, but it will take at least several decades for the charm master to cultivate to the fifth level, just like me, the spirit power has just reached the fifth level this year.

But this Feng Xizhe didn't know where he had learned any evil methods, and he had really refined the Blood Transformation Divine Sword, and he coupled it with the electric talisman, it was really as fast as a ghost, and it was definitely a hundred times stronger than thirty years ago.

By the way, senior brother, he appeared on the same day as the Jade Mother-in-law of the Imperial Immortal Sect, do you think it is possible that he took refuge in the Imperial Immortal Sect and learned the evil arts in the sect?"

Tong Tingqian nodded and said, "There is such a possibility." Most of the people in the Imperial Immortal Sect practice secret arts, forbidden arts, and are involved in charms and spiritual weapons. Maybe he learned a way to break through his potential there, and let himself master the secret method of cultivating the Blood Transformation Divine Sword. ”

After Chu Zhuang chatted with Senior Brother, he felt that his mind was enlightened for a while, as if he had been empowered, so he continued to ask: "Senior Brother, if Feng Xizhe and the Imperial Immortal Sect are in the same group, then why did he have to cover his face when he ambushed me?

Also, who could be the more powerful mysterious person behind him? Could it be the leader of the Imperial Immortal Sect?"

Tong Tingqian thought for a moment before he said, "I think there are two possibilities why he is masked. The first is that he has another identity here, and this identity is not small, in case the assassination of you fails, it will not be revealed. As for the second one, it is that he has nothing to do with the Imperial Immortal Sect, perhaps because he is attached to other dark forces, which act secretively, so he has to cover his face.

As for your guess that the second mysterious person is the leader of the Imperial Immortal Sect, the old man thinks that this possibility is extremely low. Like the Dharma Protectors, Elders, Holy Envoys and others in their sect are all upright and swaggering in Qingzhou Mansion, it is unlikely that he will hide as a sect leader, and the pattern is a little smaller.

Even if he were the Master, I don't think he would have known your magic habits if he hadn't fought you before, and would have been able to fight back with such precision, unless he had the ability to be a prophet of the unknown. ”

Chu Zhuang was taken aback, and blurted out: "Divine Talisman! Could it be that he used the Divine Talisman?" and then he immediately denied: "That's not right, the Divine Talisman can only speculate on the general direction, the approximate content, and I have never heard Yuwen Tianwen talk about the use of the Divine Talisman to deduce the technique." ”

Tong Tingcheng sighed and said, "Whether it is the Imperial Immortal Sect, Feng Xizhe and the mysterious person, including the demon mentioned on this invitation, they appeared in Qingzhou Mansion almost at the same time, this is definitely not accidental. It should be part of a series of actions that someone has launched to achieve a certain goal. Even the Jinguang Temple sent out this invitation to invite the masters of the major cultivation sects in the surrounding city government to come to the meeting, maybe it was all planned. ”

Tong Tingqian paused, and Fang continued: "Senior brother, do you know what the name of that vampire demon is and where it comes from?"

Chu Zhuang looked at Tong Tingren in surprise and asked, "Could it be that Senior Brother knows?"

Tong Tingcheng nodded slowly and said: "This monster has not been entrenched in Qingzhou Mansion for a day or two, and the two masters of the Qingzhou Mansion Protector Sect have exhausted, not to mention removing it, and I haven't even seen its face, don't you think it's strange?"

Chu Zhuang pondered again and again, but couldn't guess the clues, so he said: "Senior brother, you also know that Ah Lei and I just came out of the secret valley, so we don't know everything about what has happened outside in the past year or so. At that time, it was only speculated that the vampire demon might be a coveted thing lurking in the body of the Four Red Flame Demons, and little else was known, and the specific matters were still told by the senior brother. ”

Tong Tingcheng said: "I won't sell anything to you, junior brother, so I will tell you the details about this vampire demon." ”

Yu Wenlei followed behind, and he heard that the two division commanders finally said the important point, so he also pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing half of the message.

Tong Ting told me that this demon was named Naluojia, and it was originally an evil spirit living in the sea of hell and blood, and it usually lived by sucking the souls that fell into the sea. This demon is born with two fins, scales and spines, and resembles a long dragon. It has no natural predators in the sea of blood, and it is unrestrained, so it is also happy and happy.

However, because it has sucked too many souls over the years, the heavens will send down the heavenly calamity every thousand years, which is also its only calamity. It is not known what its original form was.

Therefore, in order to avoid the catastrophe, Naraka will flee into other dimensions before the catastrophe comes. However, if it wants to leave the Nine Shadows Stream and enter another dimension, it must abandon its body and leap in the form of a primordial spirit, otherwise it will not be able to jump in space.

Once its primordial spirit breaks away from its shell and enters other dimensions, it usually has to lodge in the body of a powerful demon to cover up its aura. The reason why it did this was to avoid heavenly punishment, and secondly, to prevent it from being taken away. I finally escaped, but instead of being destroyed by the thunder, I was sucked by other demons, which was really not cost-effective.

As a result, after the four Red Flame Demons were destroyed by you, it had nowhere to go but to wander in the human world, living by sucking human blood. Since a human being is the head of a hundred spirits, sucking the blood of a living person can maximize its cultivation, and the only way to return to its old nest is to use it.

In view of the fact that it is the primordial spirit in the world, there is no specific form, and the gathering is fog, and the dispersion is qi, and there is no shadow and formlessness. This is also the reason why it has killed dozens of people for more than a year, but no one knows its true face.
