In Chang'an City, Yao Qing, a great disciple of Jiuhua, was walking on Chang'an Zhuque Street, and there were more people on the street than he had seen there.

Yao Qing remembered the Chang'an food recommended by his junior brother Li Guang, anyway, when he arrived in this Chang'an City, Yao Qing wanted to taste it, so he went around to find it. Walking through the long streets and crossing countless crowds, Yao Qing finally found a bun shop next to the street.

Although this steamed bun shop is set up on the side of the street, there are many customers sitting next to it, thinking that this business is so good, it must be very delicious, so Yao Qing also sat here.

When the shopkeeper saw someone coming, he immediately ran over and shouted: "Guest officer, how many people, do you want to eat?" We are all good, don't dare to say anything else, we are a bag for you to eat, I can't forget, I want to come again next time, I see that these are all old customers." ”

After all, Yao Qing grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and when he saw Xiao Er of the stall say this, he said with conviction: "One, bring me a plate of soup dumplings, and then a bowl of cold skin, that's all, thank you." ”

Xiao Er heard this, and shouted to the back: "A plate of soup dumplings, a bowl of cold skin." ”

After saying that, he turned his head again and said to Yao Qing: "Wait a minute, the guest officer will come soon." Yao Qing responded, and Xiao Er walked away first, continuing to shout and entertain.

After a while, Xiao Er brought up the things Yao Qing ordered and said, "The guest officer uses it slowly." He retreated, Yao Qing didn't care so much, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

As soon as this came to his mouth, Yao Qing felt that something was abnormal, and quickly reacted, wanting to dodge, but when he looked back, he found that there was a sloppy man in a white broken road suit sitting opposite. Yao Qing was shocked, isn't this the one in the inn?

When he was stunned, the things on his chopsticks were long gone, and the things on the table had been eaten up by the sloppy Taoist at this time, Yao Qing saw that something was wrong, and wanted to ask the Taoist person, but he saw that he was full of food and drink, yawned, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

What's going on, the movements are so fast, I don't think I have the agility of this person, I really can't underestimate others, after all, there are people outside the people! Yao Qing couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

When he thought about it again, Yao Qing suddenly realized: This can't be the person who is destined to be said by the master! As soon as the words came out, he threw down the food money and went to find that person. Thinking that he has been cultivating for many years, he didn't see a trace of the sloppy Taoist in the blink of an eye, and he admired it even more in his heart.

On the crowded street, Yao Qing saw that this was not a solution, so he closed his eyes, stood in place and exercised his luck, his fortune was true, and he explored the surrounding situation.

At this time, the corners of Yao Qing's eyes moved, as if he felt a trace of abnormal cultivation, and immediately opened his eyes, and followed the feeling, only to see the vast sea of people, and the slightest abnormal movement loomed.

Yao Qing followed the abnormality with his senses, and walked to a narrow alley, where there were few people. Yao Qing searched vigilantly, and suddenly, he noticed that the abnormal cultivation was very close.

Behind him, Yao Qing was startled and hurriedly turned around.

"Oops. At this time, Yao Qing looked at the woman in the red dress in front of him, and suddenly noticed anything abnormal, only to see the two standing on the street looking at each other.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, time and space seemed to have crossed the vicissitudes of life, Yao Qing's mouth opened slightly, and at this moment he seemed to be asking himself in his heart: I seem to know her?

Yao Qing wanted to speak, but saw that the woman's eyes were flickering, and there was a tear mole in her left eye that was the same as herself, elegant and refined, the girl seemed to notice something, and turned around and left quickly.

When Yao Qing saw the woman leaving, he realized something in his heart, so he immediately went to pursue it. At this moment, there seemed to be a lot of questions in his heart, why, Yao Qing himself was not clear, and even the purpose of why he wanted to find her was not very clear, as if he was instinctive.

Yao Qing asked himself in his heart, he was already a person in the Holy Realm, and he believed that his Dao heart was upright and unswerving, but why did his Dao heart deviate by an inch just now, Yao Qing tried his best to think about it, trying to find a reason to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

Obviously, the woman's eyebrows and eyes revealed a trace of demonic energy, but he felt that she was elegant, and she was not like a person in the demon clan.

Suddenly, Yao Qing saw a woman wearing redwoods in front of him, so he stepped forward and grabbed the woman's shoulder, the woman turned her head, holding a string of sugar gourds in her hand, and shouted with doubts: "What are you doing?"

I saw that this redwood woman was young and beautiful, fifteen or sixteen years old, she was born pure and moving, her eyes were full of righteousness, she was not a person from the sidelines, although she was dressed similarly, but she was not the woman who was just right.

Yao Qing saw that she had made the wrong person, so she quickly apologized: "Girl, I'm really sorry, I recognized the wrong person below, and I hope the girl will forgive me." ”

The redwood girl saw that Yao Qingchang was a talent, handsome and extraordinary, and her heart moved slightly, and when she saw that she was dressed up, she should be a cultivator, so she crossed her mouth and said coquettishly: "In broad daylight, what is it to tease me as a weak woman? I see that the Taoist chief is a cultivator, and he is not like that light person, why do you want to be thin with me, and say something like recognizing the wrong person as an excuse, are you all cultivators so dignified?"

"Girl, I really recognized the wrong person, just now I was really chasing a woman who was dressed similarly to the girl, not like the wrong girl, it's really not good to recognize. Yao Qing explained.

"Hmph, I said no, and I said that I was chasing a girl just now. The girl said unrelentingly.

"I, not what the girl thinks, the woman I chased was because I saw that she had a trace of evil spirit, and I suspected that she was an evil demon, so I chased her, if the girl didn't believe it, I had a talisman to testify. Yao Qing tried his best to explain, and took out the talisman from his body.

This talisman is in the Dragon Domain, especially in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it is a kind of similar thing to prove the identity of the disciples of the sect specially issued by all the famous cultivators of the sect, usually a small sign, which is carried with them.

The girl took Yao Qing's talisman, looked at it, and said to herself: "It turned out to be the eldest disciple of the Jiuhua Sect, Yao Qing." The girl looked at Yao Qing and said, "It turns out that your name is Yao Qing, give it to you, senior disciple of the Jiuhua Sect, for the time being, I believe that you didn't mean it." ”

Yao Qing said with relief: "Since the girl already knows that I didn't mean it, and apologized to the girl, Yao Qing still has important things, so I said goodbye." ”

The girl said again: "That's not good, although you didn't mean to, but, but you still have to apologize to me, this apology, I think you will invite me to eat a delicious meal, I won't bother with you, otherwise I will sue you Jiuhua disciples for molesting women, Jiuhua faction has a false reputation." ”

Although Yao Qing said that he was very reluctant, but seeing that this girl was clearly messing around, and it was the first time she went down the mountain, and most of the worldly people were not as particular as worldly people, so she tried not to cause trouble, so she reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I'll invite you to eat." ”

The two came to an inn, the girl in red jumped and walked in front, after the two entered the store, the shopkeeper saw the guests, and hurriedly came out and said: Guest officer, how many.

The girl in red stretched out two fingers and said, "Both, you guys have some delicious food in your store, all of them are up to us, remember, they all want the best and most expensive." ”

Seeing that there was a big business, the shopkeeper flattered: "You guys are right, the delicious food and delicious food in our store are the best, and the two are satisfied. ”

When Yao Qing heard this girl say this, it was clear that she wanted to slaughter herself ruthlessly, who said that she had already agreed to her, so she had to be helpless.

Soon the wine and food were served, the girl was unceremonious, and the delicacies on the table were feasted, and the girl saw Yao Qing sitting still the dishes and chopsticks, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter, don't eat, this is what you spent in vain, I didn't say that I ate alone, you eat it." ”

Yao Qing looked at the girl and said, "No need, the girl is good to use, if it is not enough, you can order more, and Yao Qing will settle the bill later." ”

The girl took the chicken leg and said with a mouth full of oil: "Enough, enough, how can I finish eating these, you should eat some." ”

"No need, I'm not hungry, since the girl is enough, then I'll go and settle the account, you and I won't say goodbye. After Yao Qing finished speaking, he was about to go to the checkout.

When the girl saw that he was leaving, she hurriedly put down the chicken leg in her hand and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't go first, I still have something to do." ”

Yao Qing looked at her and asked, "What else is the matter with the girl?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's, it's, um, um." ”

Yao Qing saw that she didn't seem to have anything to do, so she said, "Girl, there is really something important down here, so I have to leave." ”

The girl was a little anxious and shouted: "Alas, you listen to me, by the way, don't always call me girl, girl's, my name is Tang Ying, I just want to follow you." ”

Yao Qing was full of doubts and said, "Follow me?"

"That's right, aren't you a disciple of Jiuhua, don't you know how to kill demons and eliminate demons, I also want to go to Jiuhua to practice, yes, that's right, I want to go to Jiuhua, I want to follow you, I want to apprentice. Then Tang Ying said affirmatively.

"This, this ......"

"Don't do this, don't you Jiuhua accept female disciples?"

"It's not, this sect has been recruiting female disciples for a long time, it's just that Miss Tang wants to go to Jiuhua Cultivation, this is not something I can decide, besides, Jiuhua's enrollment has passed, if you want to get started, you have to get the permission of the head of the sect. Yao Qing said.

"That's not simple, I'll go to Jiuhua with you, but when the time comes, I'll ask the head to accept me. Tang Ying said.

Yao Qing said helplessly: "Miss Tang, I was ordered by the head to go down the mountain, and now I haven't completed the trust of the head of the house, so I won't go back to Jiuhua for the time being, you might as well go to Jiuhua first, if the head accepts you, you and I will be brothers and sisters in the future, if you don't accept it, you have sincerity, you have to wait until the next enrollment time to go." ”

"That's not possible, I don't care, anyway, I don't know the way to Jiuhua, I just want to follow you, you just do yours, when you go back to Jiuhua, take me with you." Tang Ying still insisted.

Yao Qing was helpless for a while, and always wanted to shirk, at this time, Yao Qing saw the sloppy Taoist outside, and saw him holding a wine gourd on the street leisurely drinking and walking.

"What are you looking at, I say......"

Yao Qing didn't wait for Tang Ying to finish speaking, dropped two ingots of silver to the shopkeeper, and went out to find the man.

"Hey, you hear me......"

Tang Ying saw Yao Qing leave for no reason, and hurriedly chased after him.

This time it was really strange, Yao Qing could actually sense the traces of the sloppy Taoist, and followed the trace to the woods outside the city, at this time Yao Qing stood in the forest, but did not see the figure of the Taoist.

"Alas, why are you running so fast?" Tang Ying gasped.

At this time, Yao Qing's eyes were overwhelmed, and a flame attacked them, Yao Qing swung his sword out of his body, and shot down the fire ball one by one, at this time, Tang Ying was overwhelmed by such a scene, and stood in place. Yao Qing blocked the attack and said to Tang Ying: "Find a place to hide." ”

Tang Ying came back to her senses, and only then did she answer and find a big tree to hide. At this time, a person flew out from the depths of the woods, only to see that this person's face was full of red ornaments, wearing a red robe, red hair, and even his eyes were red, Yao Qing could see at a glance that this person was a demon.

I saw that the two of them were fighting together as soon as they touched, and the red-robed man was Yan Lingzi, one of the eight generals of the demon clan.

The two immediately fought, and for a while, the leaves of the wilderness forest fell and the branches were broken, and when the two were evenly matched, the Yan Lingzi laughed and said, "There are two times! ”

I saw that he used all his magic power, and the surrounding woods were close to him in turn The Gu had dried up, Yao Qing saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly used his strength to protect his body, at this time, Yan Lingzi attacked Yao Qing with a blow, Yao Qing's fortune resisted, and they were not up or down with each other, only to see this side of the forest, at this time it was already dark, and the opponents of the two Holy Realm strengths faced off, and the scene was particularly spectacular.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, a fairy sword flew out, Yan Lingzi hurriedly withdrew some of the magic power to resist, but at this time, Yao Qing's sword attacked again, Yan Lingzi couldn't resist it, so he retreated, although he dodged this sword, but he was still hit by Yao Qing's palm, and when he turned around again, it was already empty.

Yan Lingzi covered his chest, although this palm is not fatal, but after all, it is a cultivation of the same strength, and it is really not light. At the same time, not far from the woods, a woman in green clothes and purple eyes walked away, this woman was the demon envoy Qing Jian.

The woman in the red shirt and dress that Yao Qing met in Chang'an City just now, but for some reason, she has changed her dress again.

When Yan Lingzi saw her coming, he said unceremoniously: "Why didn't the demon envoy make a move, if the demon envoy could help, I would have taken it down a long time ago." ”

The woman smiled secretly: "What did General Yan say, we came to find the spirit bead on the order of the Demon Lord, how can we find this spirit bead, if you catch him, or kill him, then who will help us find it, when the Demon Lord blames it, can you afford it?"

"You. "Yan Lingzi Qi Dao.

"Don't forget, you're here to help me, listen to me in everything, and don't act rashly next time. The woman in Tsing Yi said with a gradual change in her words, like a warning to him.

Yan Lingzi looked at the departing woman, his anger was suppressed in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, the forest beside him had been turned into ashes.

In a ruined temple outside Chang'an City, Yao Qing, Tang Ying, and the Taoist with a wine gourd. Just now, Yao Qing was fighting with that Yan Lingzi, and it was this person who came to help and rescued them. When Yao Qing saw this person, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you seniors for your help, I have met my seniors, but I haven't asked for the names of my seniors yet." ”

I saw that the Taoist waved his hand, but Tang Ying on the side looked at it carefully, and suddenly shouted, "I know who you are." ”

The wine that the Taoist had just drunk in his mouth was spit out by her scream, and the Taoist said, "Be quiet, scare me, do you know who I am?" ”

Tang Ying said: "You are the sword immortal of Shushan, the Qingshi White Immortal, I saw you when I went to Shushan with my father to ask for a sword that year, haven't you?"

"No wonder, I saw you just now, but it turns out that you are the daughter of Tang Xiong, I remembered. The man looked at Tang Ying and said.

"It turns out that the predecessor is the famous sword fairy Qingshibai in Shushan, who is known as the fairy in the wine, and Miss Tang is the daughter of the master of the Tang Sect in Yuzhou. Yao Qing said with some surprise.

"Don't dare to bear, don't dare to bear, it's just a false name. The young man said modestly.

"Now you know who I am!" Tang Ying said with a smug face.

This Qingshi Bai is the elder brother of Chang Yingdao, the head of Shushan, who likes freedom by nature, and his living habits are often eclectic, often not afraid of door rules, he likes to drink, and he is also superb. In Shushan, Qing Shibai is also the only existence that can ignore the rules of the door, and often even his senior brother is helpless to him, and his cultivation strength is even far better than that of his senior brother. It's just that I don't like those rules, so I often wander outside, and the world calls him the fairy in wine.

And the Tang Gate is the first major sect in Xishu and Yuzhou, its sect is good at using poison and hidden weapons, its master Tang Xiong is Tang Ying's father, according to legend, the backer behind the Tang Gate is the Tang Li family, when the royal family entered Shu, the Tang Gate was a great force.

Yao Qing was still a little puzzled in his heart, so he asked the wine immortal Qing Shibai: "Senior Qing, Yao Qing just doesn't understand one thing, since the senior is a decent person, he obviously met the junior earlier, why did he avoid it everywhere, and this time he helped out?"

Qing Shibai saw Yao Qing asking, so he laughed and said, "Hahaha, in fact, I met you on your way to Chang'an." ”

Yao Qing suddenly realized, it turned out that the white light of the fairy sword was Qing Shibai, at that time, the strength of the other people's sword was strong, if it was a crooked person, he thought it was a scourge of the human world, but fortunately it was not, Yao Qing couldn't help but let go of his hanging heart.

"Shushan Fu Demon Valley has been moving frequently recently, although I learned that the Demon Lord was out of the customs, but as far as I know, it is far from that simple. Later, my senior brother learned from the sword mound that suppressed the former demon prince Xuan Han that the power of the demon venerable in the legend of the demon clan had already appeared. I am afraid that the world will be in chaos in the future, and my Shushan will now start to take precautions and prepare early. So I went down the mountain this time to find a proud disciple, so that I could teach what I had learned all my life, and in the future, I would be able to contribute more to the world, and also make my swordsmanship have a heritage, so I thought about traveling the world, if I can meet the best. How do you know that day on the way down the mountain to see a person in front of the immortal is excellent, although there are already some Taoism, but I didn't expect it to be a holy realm, and then secretly calculated, I also know your origin, of course, although you are talented, but I found that you have something vaguely on you, so I want to explore your bottom again, so there is the restaurant and the bun shop, and then I see that you are genuine, not like the devil in the people, so I will help you. Qing Shibai said one by one.

"So that's the case, it turns out that what the head of the family is worried about is the power of this demon venerable. But the juniors still don't understand, why did this demon clan come to the Central Plains? The senior could have taken down the demon head with me, why didn't he do it? And what was the instruction of the senior's words? Yao Qing was stupid, and he still wanted to give advice. Yao Qing didn't know what Qingshi meant in the vernacular, so he asked.

"This demon lord was resurrected, and he thought that he also knew about the spirit bead and magic power, and the demon clan came to this human realm, thinking that the magic power was in the human realm, so he sent his men to the Central Plains to try to find the spirit bead and magic power. And why I took you two away, is that I have already realized that there are still demon powerhouses in the dark, but the enemy is dark and I am clear, and I suspect that I have been plotted, so I will not entangle with him. As for the latter words, it's actually nothing, it's just that I see that you have a trace of evil in your heart, and I guess the head of Jiuhua won't know it. Moreover, there is a calamity in your life, and it is also related to this, if you can pass this calamity, your path is unimaginable, so as long as you are dedicated to the Tao and do not go astray, you don't need to worry too much. Qing Shibai said slowly.

Yao Qing only realized at this time.

"The head once said that Yao Qing's fate is a catastrophe, but please rest assured that the juniors are dedicated to the Tao, and there is no dissent, Yao Qing will definitely find the spirit bead before the demon clan, and will never live up to the hard work of the master. Yao Qing said resolutely.

Qing Shibai was also very relieved to see Yao Qing so resolute.

"Alas, by the way, senior Qing, don't you want to accept apprentices? Isn't this Tang Ying girl just so talented, why don't you just accept her. Yao Qing pointed at Tang Ying and said.

"You, what do you mean, Yao Qing?" Tang Ying said angrily.

"Hahaha, that's not necessary, this Miss Tang and my Shushan don't have a master-apprentice relationship, but they have a relationship with you Jiuhua, so go to your Jiuhua. Qing Shibai said with a smile.

"If you heard it, I said that I was going to your Jiuhua, and I would pick up a big bargain for you, and I was not happy. After Tang Ying finished speaking with some pride, she whispered to Qing Shibai again: "Thank you, senior Qing." ”

"It's not that I help you, it's just that it's like this, you do have a relationship with Jiuhua, and you must worship under Jiuhua. Qing Shibai said.

"Look, the seniors have said it, and they still want to get rid of me, hum!" Tang Ying squeezed Yao Qing, Yao Qing was a little helpless, she wanted to get rid of her, but the governor backfired, so she had to say: "Since the seniors have said so, then I can't say anything more, but everything has to wait until I return to Jiuhua, please call the shots." ”

"In that case, then I'm ready to go, and you can go about your business. Qing Shibai stretched his waist and said.

Yao Qing thought in his heart, this Qing Shibai might know that there was a fateful person, so he wanted to ask: "Senior, there is still something next, I still want to give advice." ”

"I know, but I can't do anything about it, and you still need to find it yourself, and only you can find it. After Qing Shibai finished speaking, he turned into a fairy sword and fled away. Seeing this, Yao Qing also followed him and stopped chasing him.

Since Qing Shibai said that Tang Ying must be worshipping under Jiuhuamen, Yao Qing was inconvenient to excuse Tang Ying from following, so he took her to find the destined person. It's just that Tang Ying said that she wanted to go back to Chang'an City and had something to do, so the two of them turned back to Chang'an together.
