The light boat carried Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenlei through the endless mountains and mountains.

By the river, there are two people, dressed in the same way. Wearing a vermilion lacquer hat, he couldn't see his face clearly, wearing a purple and black knee-length shirt, embroidered with a white seven-star rolling thunder pattern, and pedaling linen shoes and socks.

When one of them saw that the light boat was about to sail by, his hands quickly sealed. Seeing this, the other stretched out his hand and said, "There is no one we are looking for in the boat, so it's better not to make any trouble." ”

The man who was performing the spell was stunned for a moment, and his hand stopped. He turned his head and asked, "The Guiyu ring in your hand just now emitted a white light......

"The white light only means that they are from the village, not necessarily the person we are looking for. I've made sure that the boy in the cabin isn't the one we're looking for, it's the other one in the village. Let's go!" said that, he walked towards the shore.

The rest of the man couldn't, so he had to follow, and when he left, he was reluctant to look back at the boat where Yu Wenlei and the two were riding, and inadvertently, revealing a pair of cold eyes.

Chu Zhuang suddenly felt a chill, feeling that someone was staring at him. He lifted the curtain of the ship and looked down, and saw two people faintly as small as black spots, hurrying away.

"What's the matter, Uncle Chu?" Yu Wenlei saw that Chu Zhuang's expression was different, so he asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just felt someone staring at us from the shore. I lifted the curtain and looked. Chu Zhuang put down the bamboo curtain and said lightly.

"Who is going to be watching us?" Yu Wenlei was curious, and he also opened the curtain and looked out. After looking at it for a moment, he said, "There is no one on the shore!"

"Those two have long since left. Chu Zhuang explained: "It's the opposite direction to us, maybe their goal is not us." ”

After about half a day's journey, the boat left the river and stopped in front of a simple pier.

At this time, the captain got into the cabin, bowed down and said, "Second master, if you go further, you will be out of the jurisdiction of Anping Mansion, and in front of you is the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion." You see that the two of you will be sent forward, or the master will take the boat of Qingzhou Mansion here, but according to the regulations, if the two of you still take the boat of our Anping Mansion, you will be charged double the Sichuan capital from the front. ”

Chu Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Let's change the ship of Qingzhou Mansion." With that, he got up and walked out of the cabin, and handed the captain a piece of silver, which caused him to bow again and again. After Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenlei jumped ashore, he untied the rope and went.

Chu Zhuang took Yu Wenlei and said as he walked: "This Qingzhou Mansion is the largest city-state in the surrounding area, and a radius of about five hundred miles is under its rule. There are two Xiuzhen sects in the jurisdiction, one is the Tianwang Pavilion, and the other is the Jinguang Temple, and the strength of the two sects should not be underestimated. ”

Yu Wenlei was puzzled: "Jinguang Temple, it sounds like a temple, I think the monk shouldn't know how to use talismans, then it seems that it should be a spiritual weapon." ”

Chu Zhuang nodded and replied, "That's right, all the monks who practice in Jinguang Temple are spirit masters. In fact, the other monks in the temple are not afraid, but the abbot Zhen Dhara is very powerful, I heard that he alone holds three spiritual treasures, namely the golden thread of Buddha clothes, the five-wheel pagoda and the jade Buddha beads. ”

The two of them walked slowly into the tea house by the dock, ready to rest for a while before leaving. Xiao Er hurriedly caught up and asked in a loud voice, "What do you two want?"

Chu Zhuang said indifferently: "A pot of tea, two plates of dim sum, the trouble is faster, and we are still in a hurry." With that, he and Yu Wenlei walked to the window seat.

"Okay, I'll be right away!" After speaking, Xiao Er hurriedly went to the back to prepare.

As soon as Chu Zhuang and the others sat down, they saw two young Taoist priests walking in from outside, both wearing Qinglan Taoist robes, the older one was wearing a pure yang scarf, and the young Taoist behind him was holding a Taoist bun.

Chu Zhuang whispered to Yu Wenlei and said: "It's really a coincidence today, these two Taoist priests who just came are the disciples of the Heavenly King Pavilion, but judging by the costumes, they should belong to the low-level disciples." I don't know what they are doing in this remote area of Qingzhou Mansion?"

At this time, it happened that Xiao Er brought the refreshments that Chu Zhuang wanted, and Yu Wenlei took this opportunity to turn his head and look back.

I saw the two Taoist priests sitting on the seats by the door at will, and the young one of them said loudly: "Senior brother, you said that we are obviously disciples of the word 'wind', why do you want to listen to the dispatch of his 'earth' character, and the Tianwang Pavilion is not from his 'earth' character family."

Hmph, it's good that they're searching the city, but they've sent us to this place where birds don't to investigate what blood-sucking monsters are. ”

Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenlei are both stunned, vampire monsters?

The old Taoist priest opened his mouth and said comfortingly: "Senior brother, don't complain, a few days ago, this was the first place in Qingzhou Mansion where the news of the vampire demon was first reported, and it makes sense that Senior Brother sent us here to check it out." Our 'earth, water, fire, and wind' are all one family, so why bother. ”

The young Taoist priest snorted, but changed the subject and said, "Senior brother, do you think it is possible to ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice, leaned over and said: "Is it the Anping Mansion next door that is making trouble? They don't know where to get this vampire demon, and then lead it to our Qingzhou Mansion." By the way, I heard that their city lord just died violently, so he couldn't have been sucked dry of blood by this vampire demon, right?"

The elder Taoist priest muttered: "It shouldn't be that they sent it, I heard the master say that the Zhao City Lord seems to have died from the spell." Besides, his cultivation is very low, how can he control this vampire demon. ”

The young Taoist priest was unconvinced and said, "That Zhao City Lord is really not to be afraid. But I heard from the master that his son seems to be called Zhao Tianlin, but it is not simple, he was sent to practice in other places by the city lord at a very young age, and others don't know where he went.

Senior brother, you think, their city protection sect is the Wanshou Palace, why do you want to go near and far, there must be an ulterior motive in this. ”

The elder Taoist priest smiled and said: "Senior brother, that Wanshou Palace is exactly the same as our old opponent Jinguang Temple, all of them are spirit masters, but the young city lord is an out-and-out spell master, how can he go to Wanshou Palace to learn, but I heard that the daughter of the city lord of Zhao has entered the Yuxian real person of Wanshou Palace." Senior brother, don't think about it too much, let's rest for a while and continue to inspect. After speaking, he reminded Xiao Er to serve refreshments quickly.

Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenlei finished eating and drinking at will, and after paying for tea, they walked outside the liao to find a secluded place. The conversation between the two Taoist priests just now was still in his ears, and Yu Wenlei opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Chu, you also heard the words of the two Heavenly King Pavilion people just now, do you think the vampire demon they said could be the weird demon that ran out of the skull of the Four Red Flame Demons?"

Chu Zhuang nodded and said, "I also have this intention, judging from the time they just said, it is indeed very consistent." It's just that I can't figure out one thing, if it's just to suck blood, why didn't the demon stay in Anping Mansion after escaping from the dungeon, but went all the way to the boundary of Qingzhou Mansion to make trouble?"

After listening to Uncle Chu's analysis, Yu Wenlei lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then hesitated and said: "If this vampire demon is really that demon, I think there is only one reason why it did not stay in Anping Mansion, and that is that Anping Mansion has the power it fears. ”

When Chu Zhuang heard Yu Wenlei realize this, his heart moved, and he said in a voice: "The entire Anping Mansion is a Xiuzhen Sect Wanshou Palace. The head of the Wanshou Palace is now a Kanli Taoist, although he is the head of a faction, but his cultivation is actually under his junior brother Yuxian Zhenren.

Yuxian Zhenren's cultivation is indeed very high, although he practices the art of skull, but he also has a great sense of justice, I don't think he will do such a despicable and dirty thing.

Then again, we've all seen the demon's abilities in the dungeon, and even if I join forces with Yuxian Zhenren, I may not be able to win, so it can be said that what it is afraid of is not Yuxian Zhenren.

In addition to the Wanshou Palace, Anping Mansion is also the Valley of Hundred Flowers. As far as I know, the Valley of Hundred Flowers mainly cultivates illusion and medical skills, so it shouldn't pose any threat to the demon. ”

Yu Wenlei muttered: "We have also seen the strength of the Zhao brothers and sisters, although the young city lord has cultivated well, he is not a top spell master. Not to mention Zhao Lingwei, there is nothing to fear for that demon at all. Who could that be?"

The two of them discussed for a long time and didn't have a clue, Chu Zhuang proposed: "Otherwise, let's postpone returning to the sect and go to Qingzhou City by land to have a look, maybe there will be a harvest." ”

Yu Wenlei nodded and agreed: "Anyway, the demon was released by me after all, and now I can only go to the city to find out about it, and then make another plan." With that, the two got up and wanted to leave.

"Stop!"

Both of them were stunned, then they both stopped and turned their heads to look over. I saw that the two disciples of the Heavenly King Pavilion also walked out of the tea house at some point, and at this time they were stopping an old beggar with a rickety figure.

The beggar was hunched over, with gray hair and ragged clothes, making a green bamboo cane, and carrying a large rag bag on her shoulder, which was bulging with many things. At this time, he was cowardly bowing his head there, and said vaguely: "Uncle can't help it, the old woman really didn't mean it, beg the uncle to spare his life, beg the uncle to spare his life!"

The elderly Taoist priest next to him pulled his companion and said, "Senior brother, forget it, why bother to be like an old beggar, let's still do business." ”

Who knew that the young Taoist priest did not relent: "Old beggar, don't you have long eyes, such a wide road actually hit the Taoist master." Today, you must give Dao Ye ten kowtows to the ground, otherwise you don't want to leave here. ”

Yu Wenlei said fiercely: "This miscellaneous hair is really too much, and he bullied a lonely old man like this." With that, he lifted his feet and walked forward.

Who knew that as soon as he took a step, he was grabbed by Chu Zhuang behind him. Yu Wenlei was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw Chu Zhuang shaking his head and said in a low voice: "You don't have to be nosy, that Taoist priest is going to be unlucky." ”

Yuwen Lei was surprised that an old woman who was too old could do. He said suspiciously: "Uncle Chu, what you said is true, you didn't lie to me?"

Chu Zhuang pulled him to his side, lowered his voice and said, "There are three taboos in walking the rivers and lakes: beggars, children and women. These third-class people do not have innate physical advantages, but they dare to roam the rivers and lakes alone, and they must have side door evil arts. If you don't believe it, look down. ”

When Yu Wenlei heard this, he stood still and looked at the three people.

I saw that the old beggar heard the Taoist priest reprimanding her and asked her to kneel down and apologize, so she trembled and put the bamboo cane and bag aside, and then fell to the ground with a plop, leaned down and bowed, knocking her head a few times.

The old Taoist priest hurriedly pulled away his companion, flashed to the side, and said, "Okay, okay, you can go quickly." ”

The young Taoist priest didn't expect this beggar to be so neat, and he didn't expect it, he saw that the senior brother said so, just looking for a step to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, for the sake of the senior brother, this time the Taoist master will let you go, hurry up!"

Hearing the Taoist priest's words, the old beggar stopped kowtowing. She picked up the bamboo cane, reached out and put the pocket on her shoulder, and slowly walked in the direction of Chu Zhuang and Yu Wenlei.

She muttered as she walked: "Today, if you let the old woman and I knock seven times, then you will have to pay for the seven lives of your Tianwang Pavilion." As he spoke, he walked past the two of them, glanced at Yu Wenlei inadvertently, and walked over, and was hidden by the woods in a moment.

The young Taoist priest saw that the old beggar was far away, clapped his hands and said, "Today is really unlucky. Senior brother, let's go back, I don't think there's anything famous here" said and turned around to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he slammed and fell to the ground with his head upright.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?" the old Taoist priest hurriedly bent down to help him, and shouted anxiously in his mouth.
