With the cooperation of eight or nine sturdy men, several huge dead trees on the mountain road were quickly cleared.

Liu Dapeng looked up at the sun, turned around and said to Chen Qiaoqian: "Shopkeeper, hurry up." It gets dark quickly, and if you don't reach the top of the mountain before the hour, it will be a hassle to spend the night here. I've been to Broken Water Mountain a few times, and there aren't too many monsters, but there are also some birds of prey that often haunt at night. On the top of the mountain, there are wooden houses left by dart masters and businessmen who often travel between the two places, which is enough for our group to stay for one night. ”

Chen Qiaoqian nodded when she heard this, wrapped the white coat on her body, and said loudly to the more than ten people behind her: "Sun Ling, Da Zhuang, you guys take care of the goods, don't lose them, and strive to reach the top of the mountain at the beginning of Shen Shi." Brother Wei, you have injuries on your body, remember to be careful. ”

Along the way, Chen Qiaoqian was very warm and caring for the man, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the heart of the shopkeeper Chen was estimated to have been stolen by Wei Cheng.

It's just that although Wei Cheng's mouth is still full of flowers, his body is extremely honest, and he didn't do anything to go overboard. provoked Chen Qiaoqian to be resentful, and began to wonder if her charm was not as good as before.

Wei Cheng just didn't see it.

Ye Fan and his entourage entered the mountain from south to north, and after walking for a while, they happened to meet four people walking from north to south, all of whom were soldiers stationed at Chongling Pass.

Chen Qiaoqian inquired forward and found out that there was a big incident at Chongling Pass.

Not far from the pass, there is a dense forest that seemed ordinary in the past. Until a few days ago, when some people went to graze, they saw a brilliant stone, thinking that it was a gem, so they hurried to pick it up. Unexpectedly, the stone was actually a component of a formation, and the moment it was picked up, the large array was activated, and the sound was huge, and the sound was heard hundreds of miles away.

Later, a few array masters went to check, and they were shocked when they didn't know if they didn't see it, it turned out that the big array was a site left by the immortals, and it was very likely that there was a huge treasure. After the rumors dissipated, a large number of monks were attracted to come, and now they all live in the town of Chonglingguan, and there is constant friction and chaos. The soldiers and horses stationed at the pass were simply not enough, and the generals of the Seven Realms could not do without Chongling Pass, so they had to go to Stone Town on foot, buy a few horses, and quickly go to Longquan County to ask for reinforcements.

The four of them slept in the open for several days, and their spirits were particularly sluggish. Chen Qiaoqian gave some money to eat, and informed Hengfujiang of the situation, telling a few people to be careful. The four thanked them and left, hurrying on their way.

The military situation at the front was in full swing, and she knew that this batch of supplies could not be delayed any longer. After climbing the Broken Water Mountain tomorrow, the rest of the journey must be completed in five days.

Zhong Li walked with the sword, looked around the mountain a few times, slowly descended from the sky in front of Chen Qiaoqian, and said, "Miss, there should be no problem with the rest of the way." It's just that for some reason, the old man always feels that there is a trace of demonic energy on this mountain, but he can't touch it. Weird, very weird. ”

Liu Dapeng turned around in front of him and said to the old man: "Elder Zhong, I heard from the seniors in the dart bureau that some spirits and monsters on this mountain are very normal, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, you will basically not hurt people." Besides, even if there is really a crazy demon beast that comes out to eat people, aren't you still here? The previous python was not a cabbage all over the streets, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

Zhongli nodded and replied, "That's right, it should be that the old man is too worried." ”

Chen Qiaoqian cautiously turned around and looked, and when she saw Wei Chengzheng and Ye Fan talking, she lowered her voice, walked to the old man's side and whispered, "Uncle Zhong, Brother Wei is really an immortal of the Eight Realms as you said?"

Zhongli nodded and replied softly, "At the very least, he is also a master who has stepped into Nirvana for at least ten years. Don't hide it from Miss, even if Senior Wei said that he was an immortal of the Nine Realms Yuanying, the old man would not be too surprised. Miss is not a person in cultivation, I don't know how unbelievable it is that she can have such a strong aura when she is seriously injured, supporting Ye Fan Xiaoyou to kill the giant python of the Seven Realms with one sword. Without the support of cultivation above the Eight Realms, it is absolutely impossible. Unless that knife is a divine weapon, or has taken the Tianyang Pill refined by the Dan God himself. But then again, if there are really these two things, the identity is not much better than the cultivation of the Eight Realms..."

Chen Qiaoqian's expression was a little weird, "Nine Realms Yuan Infant, there are only five people in the entire Red Leaf Country..."

When the old man saw his young lady's expression, he hesitated, but he still chose to dissuade one or two, and said softly: "Miss, the old man still advises you not to have any crooked eyes, thinking about what to do with this senior." Although Senior Wei looks like he is thirty or forty years old, how can he live less if he can have such a master of cultivation? Moreover, even Wei Chengcheng, who has cultivated so profoundly, has been injured like this, and the young lady doesn't want to think about who was injured? People don't exceed the rules, don't be swayed by being clever, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Zhongli's words were a little tactful, Chen Qiaoqian was not a fool, she heard the sound outside the strings, and her eyes were a little silent.

Then he said softly: "Uncle Zhong, I know, thank you for telling me this." I can't have these thoughts anymore in the future, so be relieved. ”

The old man shook his head, "My family doesn't say a word. Miss, you are a smart person, otherwise you would not have been able to get to your current position step by step with your own skills. But you also have to know the dignity of your identity, think more about the voice in the family, don't always be angry with the master, the master is actually not easy. ”

Chen Qiaoqian bowed her head slightly and was silent.

The old man could only sigh, and he couldn't say much about the father and daughter, so it was up to them what they thought.

————————

At Qiao Lao'er Ferry in the middle reaches of the Hengfu River, several ferries were either overturned and sunk to the bottom of the river, or were broken into pieces of wood by several people and giant pythons. Although Shopkeeper Chen compensated a lot of money, Qiao Lao Er still squatted by the river and sighed. This ferry has been in operation for more than ten years, just like his son, and his hard work for such a long time has been ruined, how can he still be in a good mood.

Qiao Lao Er looked downstream and found that a large group of people were coming straight to the ferry, thinking that they were guests who were going to cross the river, so he stood up and greeted him.

In front of the group of people was an old man in black and an extremely charming stunner woman, Qiao Lao Er swallowed his saliva and said to the old man: "A few guests are going to cross the river? That's really not a coincidence, a few hours ago there was a monster at the ferry, and the boats were all broken and unusable." In this way, the guests will go more than 30 miles upstream, and there will be a ferry there to cross the river, but I don't know what the guests' itinerary will be and how far they will have to detour..."

The old man ignored the bald man's kind reminder, turned his head and raised his chin to the woman, "Go and see." ”

The woman hurried to the river, looking at the giant python in the water like a black mountain, but she did not seem to be alarmed. He just squatted on the shore, picked up a nest of blood-colored river water, lowered his head and sniffed it carefully, then turned back to the old man and said, "There is the smell of that thing." ”

The old man nodded, and then asked Qiao Lao Er, "Who killed this giant python?"

Qiao Lao Er touched his bald head and said honestly: "The waves are too high, in fact, I haven't seen it clearly." It's the gang of shopkeepers Chen and another group of people with an injured man who crossed the river together, and those people should have killed them. ”

The old man in black was suddenly a little excited, grabbed the bald man, and asked urgently, "What does the injured man look like? How much are the injuries? Who are those people?"

Qiao Lao Er was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he thought that the relatives of the group had received the news and came to look for him, so he didn't care too much, and replied: "That man is just an ordinary person, and his smile is a little obscene." It looks like he's hurt so badly that he can't even walk. There are four people left, a friend of mine with his son and daughter, and a young man who are going to Chonglingguan together. Don't worry, guests, nothing happened to them, and after crossing the river, they went to the side of Broken Water Mountain. ”

The old man let go of the bald man, his eyebrows were kind, and he smiled warmly: "Thank you brother for telling the old man about the matter, the old man is grateful." ”

Qiao Lao Er waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Old man, you are too polite, but..."

Before the bald man finished speaking, a thin red line appeared on his neck, and blood slowly flowed out from the thin line.

Qiao Lao Er stretched out his hand to cover the wound, staring at the old man with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief. Then he howled a few times, and then fell to the ground and died.

The woman turned her head and could not bear to look at it.

The old man's expression remained unchanged, and he turned back to everyone and said, "Throw away all the useless things and travel lightly." Tomorrow, you must catch up with the goal, get things done before the time, and the benefits will be indispensable after you go back. See if there are any ships on the shore that are not too damaged, repair them, and set off within an hour. ”

Everyone behind him replied in unison: "Yes, Master Ji!"

The woman was a little uneasy, walked up to the old man, and said softly, "Master Ji, I heard that there is a dirty thing on the other side of the Broken Water Mountain. Wouldn't it be a little too presumptuous for so many of us to just walk over like this?"

The old man did not speak, but took out a seal from his sleeve, on which were engraved the words "Zhengda Guangming".

When the woman saw it, she was slightly surprised that this seal was actually a spiritual weapon that had been blessed by holy energy. Although the holy qi attached to his body was extremely weak, ordinary evil creatures and ghosts did not dare to approach it at all. Even if some demons with more advanced Taoism come, they will be restrained by the immense holy qi, and their strength can only be exerted six or seven out of ten.

In order to be sure, His Royal Highness has really made a big deal, and it seems that the young man has to die.

The old man took back the seal and said slowly to the river: "Now the man of the Seven Realms can't afford to be seriously injured, but he has saved some trouble. Once you've found someone, you take the lead and get to the bottom of that group. After the deed is done, the old man of His Highness will say something good for you. If you can't prepare for the rise of His Royal Highness, I will put you in the room as a concubine who warms the bed, and then it will be a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and it will not be difficult to turn over. ”

The beautiful woman was like a great grace, and after bowing, she said gratefully: "Master Ji is very gracious, and the concubine is toothless and unforgettable." ”

The old man waved his hand, but just looked into the distance, his eyes were solemn, and he was silent for a long time.
