I saw that the white light had been fleeing, and the giant tortoise had been chasing, and the speed of the two was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they swept into the sky hundreds of miles away. The white light was almost undetectable, but the giant tortoise could still see clearly.

Xu Daoyun knew that the white light was Cao Zizheng, and he was gambling with the giant turtle at this time, as for who won and who lost, Xu Daoyun did not dare to make this conclusion.

Although Cao Zizheng's cultivation is high, this giant tortoise is too large, and I don't know how many years he has survived and cultivated in this Wangsi River, and his cultivation is bound to be not low. The two fight each other, and it is really difficult to predict the outcome of the battle.

The two chased and fled, and gradually faded away, and even the mountain-like giant tortoise disappeared in the clouds.

Zhu Bo shook his head and sighed: "This level of gambling is not limited by the earth, and we and other lowly monks can only sigh with admiration. ”

Xu Daoyun still looked at the western sky, and said with a smile: "As long as you are brave enough and persevering enough, you will be able to be sighed one day." ”

Zhu Bo smiled bitterly, and suddenly pointed at Jiang Depo and asked, "Look, who is that ride." ”

Xu Daoyun followed what he was pointing to, and saw a person riding a fast horse, chasing after him with a rolling torrent, and he was about to be swallowed by the wave when he took a slow step, and there were no bones left.

"It's Xie Zhi County. ”

I saw the rolling waves from far and near, flooding the official road avenue, Xie Zhi County's horse fled, turned over the mountain pass, at this time the momentum of the flood stopped, and he escaped with his life.

Xie Zhi County rode a horse up the mountain and said loudly: "The scourge of the water demon in Wangsi River has been solved, leave half of it to take care of the idle affairs here, and the other half will go back to Qingping County with me." ”

The soldiers were divided into two routes, the eastern route was led by Xie Siyuan, and the western route was led by Hang Liren, and they acted separately.

Xu Daoyun rode a horse and followed Xie Siyuan's side, arching his hand and asking: "Lord Zhixian, Jiangdepo Avenue has been blocked by the torrent, and the Wangsi River is dozens of miles longitudinal, which way should we go back?"

Xie Zhixian said: "We have been fighting with the Wangsi River Water Demon here for more than a month, and we know the landforms within a radius of 100 miles. We go straight north to Hanmugang, and then turn north to cross Hetai Mountain, and then cross the Wangsi River. ”

Xu Daoyun said: "Lord Zhixian, it takes fifty or sixty miles to go around Hanmugang here, and the terrain of Hetai Mountain is steep, and there are continuous mountains to the north, I don't know how many mountains I have to climb to see the official road avenue." In this way, it will take at least half a month to return to Qingping County. ”

Xie Zhixian sighed, "I know that this is the next policy, but at this time there is no other way, the water demon of Wangsi River has not been eliminated, and now there is a big flood, if you build a raft to cross the river, it will inevitably capsize, and we can only become fish, shrimp and crabs in the water." ”

Xu Daoyun nodded and said: "Also, although the detour takes a little longer, but for the sake of safety, the county magistrate is far-sighted, and Daoyun admires it." ”

"Even if you don't have a far-sighted plan, those who command the army should be familiar with the flow of the surrounding mountains and rivers, and be familiar with the topography, so that they can advance and retreat freely. ”

"Lord Zhixian has also commanded the army?"

Xie Zhixian said with a smile: "Compared with the few adults in the military family who have heavy troops, I am at most a small centurion, and I am far from being able to command the army." It's just that when I was idle in the yazhong, I read a few books on the art of war written by the predecessors, and over time, I understood a little bit of the skin. ”

Zhu Bo on the side patted his ass at the right time: "The county magistrate is erudite, and Zhu Bo admires it." ”

Xie Zhixian said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to wait for a horse, there are still many mountain roads ahead, we need to go to Shimen Town to buy food and salaries, cultivate for a day, and then set off north." ”

"Yes. ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Coming to Shimen Town, which is dozens of miles away, this place does not seem to be affected by the Sijiang Water Demon, and it is still full of smoke, and people are talking and laughing, and it is peaceful.

Seeing this happy scene, Xie Zhixian felt a little relieved and said with a smile: "This Shimen Town is the main place for grain and grass transportation on the West Road, extending in all directions, and there are no steep mountains around, it is an extremely rich town. ”

The crowd led their horses into the town, and passers-by avoided them, pointing and whispering.

Xie Zhi County asked everyone to disband, each went to buy grain, and gathered at the east gate of Shimen Town after half an hour.

Xu Daoyun and Zhu Bo walked down West Street together, Zhu Bo said with a smile: "Brother Daoyun, there is a good wine in Shimen Town, called Bamboo Clear Pulp, it is very delicious, let's go buy more than a dozen catties and drink it on the road." ”

The two came to a restaurant called Shanbao Winery, but saw two monks, one fat and one thin, standing at the door of the restaurant, and the fat monk was persuading the thin little monk bitterly.

"Eh, don't hurry up, let's discuss it, can we discuss? The abbot gave you three ingots of silver to wrap around, you only need to take out half an ingot, and we can have a good drink." ”

Xu Daoyun was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was a wine and meat monk who drank and enjoyed himself.

The little monk shook his head vigorously: "No, no, the abbot said, monks can't drink, uncle, you shouldn't drink either." ”

The fat monk hated iron and said: "Tsk, why don't you have an elm head? Finally, you went down to the mountain, what are you buying these incense candles and tribute fruits for? There are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, are you still worried that no one in the temple will enter the incense?"

The little monk still shook his head: "No, uncle, we have to save some money on this money, and the abbot asked us to go to Wangsijiang to collect demons, but we were delayed for a day and a night in Shimen Town, if the abbot knows, he will definitely punish us for sweeping the tower!"

Xu Daoyun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Bo.

The fat monk shook his head and said, "That's right, after buying wine, let's go on the road, how about it?"

The little monk weighed it, took out two pieces of money and handed it over, "No." ”

"Two hanging money, what are you going to call Hanako?" the fat monk was anxious.

The little monk said: "The six roots of the monks are pure, the four are empty, except for the Dharma, there is nothing in the body, of course, it is better than calling Huazi." ”

The fat monk covered his head and shouted: "It's these clichés again, I see, you have been following those old stubborn for a long time, and you have become a little stubborn." ”

The little monk sat down on the stone steps in front of the restaurant and said, "Uncle Shi, go quickly, I'll wait for you here." ”

The fat monk couldn't wait and rushed into the restaurant in a hurry.

Xu Daoyun came to the little monk and bowed his hand: "Xu Daoyun, who is in the lower Qingqiwei, has seen the little master." ”

The little monk stood up, patted his buttocks, and saluted: "Amitabha, the little poor and pure, I have seen the donor. ”

Xu Daoyun smiled and asked: "Little Master Jingtong, I just heard you say that you were sent down the mountain by the abbot to go to Wangsi River to subdue the water demon?"

The little monk nodded.

Xu Daoyun asked again: "I don't know where the little master of Jingtong is practicing?"

The little monk shook his head and said: "The abbot said, go down the mountain to help the world, you can't report to your family, please forgive me." ”

"I see, it's abrupt. Xu Daoyun grinned, and suddenly heard the sound of quarrels in the restaurant, and he hurriedly crossed the threshold with Zhu Bo and walked in.

The little monk glanced inside, then lowered his head and recited a Buddha name, and sat down on the stone steps again.

In the restaurant, the fat monk was standing in front of the desk, pulling the shopkeeper's sleeve and discussing with him, "You see that I am a monk, and I don't have much silver, so you can sell me two pots." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Oh, master, I have more than one yuan of wine, but you want to buy me two pots of wine with these two dollars, doesn't this make me do a loss-making business?

Xu Daoyun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, don't be embarrassed, I will pay for the master's wine." "Let's throw a few hangs of money on the case.

The shopkeeper put away the hanging money and hurriedly asked Xiao Er to get the wine.

The fat monk turned around, scratched his bald head, a smile bloomed on his face, and said, "Amitabha, thank you for your generosity. ”

"The master is polite. ”

The fat monk put on two jars of wine, walked out of the restaurant, and left with the little monk.

Zhu Bo said with a smile: "Junior Brother Daoyun is really a good match." ”

"When you go out, if you can be kind, you won't complain, don't you think that's the case, Brother Zhu?"

"Yes, yes, you say it. ”

The two bought wine, bought half a month's salary, and then came to the east entrance of Shimen Town to wait for everyone to gather.

Nie Qingsheng led the crowd all the way to the north, to Hanmugang, to Hetai Mountain, and trekked for 12 days before going down to Guanlu Avenue, bypassing Quanhai Town, and rushing towards Qingping County.

During the period, there were two heavy rains, and the mountain road was extremely slippery, thanks to the fact that everyone was a monk, and the lowest realm also had an innate realm, and they were not afraid of wind, rain and sun, otherwise they would have to be seriously ill like this.

On the fifteenth, everyone finally saw Qingping County appear on the surface.

Xu Daoyun said: "Lord Zhixian, the remnants of the Innocent Sect have arranged an enchantment outside Qingping County, but they can't enter or exit, how should this be good?"

Xie Zhixian said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Zizheng gave me a gossip mirror that day, saying that he borrowed it from the Taoist master of the Zhongmiao Xuanmen family, and he was able to break this barrier." ”

Everyone stopped in front of Qingping County, Xie Siyuan turned over and dismounted, threw the gossip mirror into the air, and injected true qi. Ten thousand golden rays of light shot out from the mirror, melting and dissolving all the turquoise light shrouded outside Qingping County.

Xie Siyuan put the gossip mirror into his arms, his face turned pale, and he gasped: "This treasure is really powerful, but with my cultivation, it is really a bit reluctant to dissolve such a big enchantment." ”

When they rode into the city, they saw that the streets were desolate, and there was no one to go or to them.

Xu Daoyun clearly sensed that there was a faint vitality awakening in the surrounding houses, and he thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the reason for this.

The people of Qingping County were all bewitched by the teachings of the Innocent Sect, and then they were trapped in the enchantment, confused, and did not know the years. Now that the barrier has been broken and the nightmare has been solved, the people have naturally woken up from a dream and come back from the dead.

Suddenly, the doors and windows of the surrounding houses broke, and the people pounced on them like mad dogs, their eyes blood-red, and they had obviously lost their minds.

Everyone was about to meet the enemy, but Xie Siyuan shouted: "Don't let the killer go, just subdue it." ”

"Yes. ”

Xu Daoyun and the others agreed in unison and fought with the people. But there are hundreds of thousands of people in Qingping County, and now they have awakened together and gathered together, although Xu Daoyun and others have cultivated to a high level, there are less than 100 people, it is easy to kill them all, but it is not so easy to subdue.

Seeing that the people who had lost their minds were gathering more and more, and there were already a few Qingqi guards and officials who were in a hurry to kill people by mistake, Xu Daoyun thought that it was not a way to go on like this, he thought hard about countermeasures, suddenly raised his head, jumped up to the tall building, raised his luck, and showed his unphased sound.

This sound is upright and upright, containing a heroic aura, which can deter demons and demons, and can also drive away demons.

The sound of Gangyin is rolling far away, desolate like a flood bell and a big Lu, overwhelming, pervasive.

When the people heard this, they only felt a thunderclap explode in their heads, and the people who were close to Xu Daoyun within a radius of ten zhang were all three corpses, and the seven orifices were red, and hundreds of people died in the blink of an eye.

The sound of Gangyin is like the angry thunder of the nine heavens, such as Mount Tai pressing the top, echoing in the whole Qingping County, the green tiles of the roof of the earthquake are beating and shattering, and the birds and birds soaring in the sky are falling straight down, although they are just loud, but they are more like a spell of urgency.

Xie Siyuan yelled: "Xu Daoyun, stop!"

But his voice was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it was shattered by the overwhelming sound before it could be heard half a foot.

Seeing the people fall in pieces, suddenly a sacred Buddha horn resounded throughout Qingping County, "Amitabha, good, good." ”

The Sanskrit sound is rolling, like a living Buddha coming into the world, and a golden Buddha light shines on the nine heavens, enveloping the entire Qingping County.

Xu Daoyun's Gangyin was torn to pieces by the sound of the Buddha's horn in an instant, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the west of Qingping County, only to see two monks, one big and one small, one fat and one thin, stepping on bluestone bricks and slowly approaching.

Xu Daoyun recognized them when he arrived, it was the two monks he met at Shanbao Winery in Shimen Town half a month ago, saying that they were going to Wangsi River to help subdue demons, why did they come here today?

They walked with their heads bowed and recited scriptures, and the golden light above the heavens became brighter and brighter. The light of the Buddha shone on the earth, and all the people whose minds were corrupted by the teachings of the Immaculate Sect stood in place as if they had lost their souls, and the black air flowed out of the seven orifices, and they dissolved into the Buddha's light in an instant.

Xu Daoyun looked up at the Buddha light in the sky, listened to the sound of the Buddha, and was in a hurry, when suddenly his brain shook violently, his heart contracted suddenly, his chest tightened and he had a splitting headache.

He spurted blood from his mouth, fell to one knee, and eventually passed out.

Seeing this, Zhu Bo hurriedly jumped on the roof, picked up Xu Daoyun, and called: "Brother Daoyun, Brother Daoyun wake up, Brother Daoyun?"

......

I don't know how many days later, Xu Daoyun woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a warm sun outside the window slanting in, and the sound of birds and insects chirping was leisurely in his ears.

He sat up and found himself lying in an extremely elegant and delicate room, and after a little thought, he finally remembered that this was the upper room of the Drunken Immortal Building.

Xu Daoyun was full of doubts, how could he appear here? He dressed and stepped on his feet, put on the sword box on his back, pushed the door and walked out. Passing through the corridor, standing at the entrance of the building, I saw that the downstairs hall was full of people, the threshold went in and out, the guests came, and several female shop guys ushered in and sent to, serving tea and wine, and they were very busy.

Xu Daoyun's gaze shifted to the desk, where there was a reclining chair, and Chen Ning, who was wearing a white palace dress, leaned on it, leisurely flipping through a book, and the tea in the cup on the table was rising.

Chen Ning seemed to feel something, closed the book, turned his head to look, and then smiled.

Xu Daoyun also smiled, walked down the stairs, looked at the guests drinking and having fun in the hall, and asked, "Sister Chen Ning, what has happened these days? Why am I sleeping like mud and unconscious?"
